## Transcript

[0:00] Speaker 1: Let's shift back to Luka real quick if we can.
[0:02] Speaker 1: Luka made the most of his time since getting traded
[0:06] Speaker 1: to the Lakers back in February 2025 at the deadline.
[0:10] Speaker 1: After the move, the Mavs reportedly ran a smear campaign
[0:14] Speaker 1: behind the scenes to justify trading Luka with reports coming
[0:17] Speaker 1: out essentially that the team was calling him a fat, lazy,
[0:20] Speaker 1: no-defense-playing alcoholic that was constantly whining and bitching to the refs.
[0:25] Speaker 1: To no one's surprise, he continues to show how much
[0:27] Speaker 1: of a mistake that the Mavs made with that move.
[0:29] Speaker 1: But Gil, I want to talk to you about that.
[0:31] Speaker 1: What's your reaction to the Mavs trying to run a
[0:33] Speaker 1: smear campaign behind the scenes to justify the Luka trade?
[0:36] Speaker 1: You traded Luka, tried to shit on the man, said
[0:38] Speaker 1: he don't play defense, amongst other things, said he was
[0:40] Speaker 1: at the Mavs for sleep, eating too much barbecue, drinking
[0:42] Speaker 1: big jugs of lemonade, drinking beers.
[0:45] Speaker 2: Remember I told you that that's the problem with the
[0:48] Speaker 2: GMs and teams.
[0:50] Speaker 3: They think backwards, right?
[0:54] Speaker 2: You have a product, you want to get rid of
[0:56] Speaker 2: the product and your go-to move every single.
[0:59] Speaker 3: Time is to bash it. It's to sabotage.
[1:01] Speaker 2: Bash your product and then get mad that you don't
[1:04] Speaker 2: get the value for the product.
[1:06] Speaker 3: Yeah, you devalue them anyway. Yeah, so you're like, oh man, no,
[1:09] Speaker 3: I want all these pieces.
[1:11] Speaker 2: Well, your campaign should be a little bit better. Your
[1:13] Speaker 2: campaign should be positive. Like, yeah, we're going into financial difference.
[1:17] Speaker 2: We can't afford him right now. You know, but he
[1:19] Speaker 2: works hard.
[1:20] Speaker 3: He does this. He does that. You're supposed to be
[1:22] Speaker 3: big in it up.
[1:22] Speaker 4: Well, you you you also you plan a trick on
[1:26] Speaker 4: yourself because you devalue it. Like it's like, man, this
[1:31] Speaker 4: dude is dope, but you're devaluing him. So then when
[1:34] Speaker 4: you do get ready to make a trade, you almost
[1:37] Speaker 4: get to a point where, man, fuck it. Just give
[1:38] Speaker 4: me anybody. Just giving anybody up.
[1:40] Speaker 3: I'll take whatever to get rid of this dude.
[1:42] Speaker 4: Cause you done built this whole negative stream of consciousness
[1:46] Speaker 4: around this dude. And now it's like, every time you
[1:49] Speaker 4: look at him, like, see, he can't do this. Like,
[1:51] Speaker 4: and then you start, you know, anybody could go score 20. Like,
[1:54] Speaker 4: I bet you he couldn't do that.
[1:56] Speaker 3: It's like. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't get it.
[2:01] Speaker 4: Why would you devalue someone that you're trying to trade?
[2:04] Speaker 3: Because he didn't take it.
[2:06] Speaker 1: But after the trade, though, is even crazier.
[2:09] Speaker 2: Because I talked to an owner, and when they're making
[2:14] Speaker 2: a deal, when they're making a deal that is financial, right,
[2:20] Speaker 2: like getting rid of him, bringing him in, we can
[2:22] Speaker 2: get rid of him, and we can go in a
[2:23] Speaker 2: different direction, there's fans involved. Fans don't think about business.
[2:28] Speaker 2: They think about their team. So to save face, you
[2:32] Speaker 2: got to do that. You got to do that. He
[2:35] Speaker 2: was in an organization.
[2:37] Speaker 3: Just so people can be like, you know what? Yeah,
[2:39] Speaker 3: you're right.
[2:39] Speaker 2: You know, he's an alcoholic because now you start to see, oh, he.
[2:43] Speaker 3: Took the beer from him. So in their mind, it's justified.
[2:47] Speaker 2: So when you're moving a player that the fans love,
[2:52] Speaker 2: you have to make him seem bad or People will
[2:57] Speaker 2: stop coming to the games that they think.
[2:59] Speaker 3: Right. So it's all about it's really all about the
[3:01] Speaker 3: fans view.
[3:02] Speaker 2: So they basically tell you whatever they think.
[3:06] Speaker 4: Yeah, they want to skew that message. So so so
[3:09] Speaker 4: they don't lose that fan base. And then, yeah, that's
[3:12] Speaker 4: the only way that they can justify it is running
[3:14] Speaker 4: some type of campaign.
[3:16] Speaker 3: But I think it's.
[3:17] Speaker 4: It's kind of tasteless in classes because, like, dog, you
[3:19] Speaker 4: got rid of the dude. Like, let him go. Like,
[3:21] Speaker 4: you ain't got to do.
[3:23] Speaker 3: But you have to. You kind of have to do it.
[3:25] Speaker 2: Right.
[3:26] Speaker 3: To be able to save face and save your job.
[3:28] Speaker 4: But it also goes to the fact what you said, Gil,
[3:32] Speaker 4: is like it shows that it shows your insecurity.
[3:36] Speaker 3: Right.
[3:36] Speaker 4: And then it shows your lack of fucking true basketball knowledge.
[3:40] Speaker 3: Right. When you don't get the value. That you do.
[3:44] Speaker 3: They could have got way more.
[3:45] Speaker 4: The league looked out and, you know, they got Cooper
[3:48] Speaker 4: Flagg in the number one pick.
[3:50] Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
[3:51] Speaker 4: So, like, the basketball guys did kind of look out
[3:54] Speaker 4: for you, but at the same time, when you play
[3:58] Speaker 4: like that, you keep playing like that.
[4:01] Speaker 3: Bad karma.
[4:02] Speaker 4: And then the next generation, so what happens with Cooper
[4:05] Speaker 4: Flagg is like, all right, man, we've been 9th, 10th, 11th.
[4:10] Speaker 3: Like, what y'all going to, you know what I mean? Like, Man,
[4:13] Speaker 3: I ain't going to.
[4:13] Speaker 4: Holler at Luka and be like, hey, man, if I
[4:15] Speaker 4: was you, you know, players talk. And I get to
[4:17] Speaker 4: fuck up out of there, man. I ain't going to
[4:18] Speaker 4: do nothing but try to smear your name.
[4:21] Speaker 3: You know, like what happens when it doesn't go right?
[4:24] Speaker 2: When Zion gets traded. He'll be better. There's going to
[4:30] Speaker 2: be a Samaritan. Yeah, but he'll be better. He'll be
[4:32] Speaker 2: better wherever he goes.
[4:33] Speaker 4: He needs to get out of there because all he
[4:36] Speaker 4: keeps getting is negative media there and he's not playing.
[4:41] Speaker 3: It's like when.
[4:42] Speaker 4: He do ball and shit like that, they don't give
[4:44] Speaker 4: a fuck, dude. They're devaluing Zion. He's another one. His
[4:50] Speaker 4: value is so down that if you're a smart team,
[4:54] Speaker 4: you can go and snatch him up.
[4:57] Speaker 2: I remember when he was trying to convince them, like,
[5:03] Speaker 2: if we trade Jimmy Butler, this is why.
[5:04] Speaker 3: It was like, yeah, Jimmy Butler never flies on a
[5:06] Speaker 3: plane with us. He always flies separate.
[5:09] Speaker 2: He never stays at the whole tail. He stays at Airbnb, right?
[5:14] Speaker 2: And I'm like, why the fuck.
[5:17] Speaker 5: Are you telling us?
[5:20] Speaker 3: You want us to believe that he's just now being.
[5:22] Speaker 2: Rogued This is, he's been doing this the whole time
[5:25] Speaker 2: he's been here. You allowed him. You allowed him to. Like,
[5:31] Speaker 2: don't try to do that shit with us. Like, we, like, Airbnbs,
[5:34] Speaker 2: you don't want the whole time.
[5:36] Speaker 3: Is he at practice on time? Is he on the
[5:38] Speaker 3: bus on time? It don't matter. They was trying to
[5:41] Speaker 3: ass off with that move.
[5:42] Speaker 5: I'm trying to think, has there ever been, like, a
[5:44] Speaker 5: straight up good superstar for a superstar?
[5:47] Speaker 3: Like.
[5:48] Speaker 6: Luka for AD could have been more.
[5:50] Speaker 3: That was probably one of the biggest. That was one
[5:52] Speaker 3: of the biggest turns ever.
[5:53] Speaker 6: I feel like you could have got more for Luka.
[5:55] Speaker 6: I like AD. I know the respect, but.
[5:58] Speaker 2: First, they tried to get Wimby and then Ant-Man. And
[6:02] Speaker 2: both of them said no.
[6:05] Speaker 5: And you do, like, even with Jalen Brown and Paul George,
[6:08] Speaker 5: I feel like they could have got more.
[6:10] Speaker 6: They could have.
[6:10] Speaker 3: They tried. They tried to get... Giannis. The Greek freak.
[6:14] Speaker 3: Everybody ain't dumb. You're going to try to get the most.
[6:20] Speaker 3: You're going to try to get the most.
[6:23] Speaker 4: What happens is you wind up in your brain saying, like,
[6:27] Speaker 4: this guy is valued. Jalen Brown is valued for Giannis.
[6:31] Speaker 4: We can pull that off. Then after a while, when
[6:34] Speaker 4: they say no, we don't respect that value, you look
[6:37] Speaker 4: at your value product and be like, well, damn. I
[6:41] Speaker 4: need to get rid of him. If he ain't worth Giannis,
[6:44] Speaker 4: we need to find a way to get rid of him.
[6:46] Speaker 4: And so now they start thinking about all the other
[6:50] Speaker 4: possibilities because that first one, you know what I mean,
[6:52] Speaker 4: is a no.
[6:53] Speaker 1: All right, well, let's spin it forward now. So, Luka
[6:56] Speaker 1: on the Lakers. Now, Lakers fans have embraced Luka during
[6:59] Speaker 1: his time with the team. So, during an interview with
[7:00] Speaker 1: the California Post, Austin Reeves had some interesting perspective on
[7:04] Speaker 1: what would be different with the Luka Lakers versus the
[7:06] Speaker 1: LeBron Lakers.
[7:07] Speaker 3: Saying, quote, I don't see it. Uh-oh.
[7:10] Speaker 6: You see it.
[7:11] Speaker 1: I think with LeBron's situation, it was a little different
[7:14] Speaker 1: just because LeBron and Kobe were battling for the best
[7:16] Speaker 1: player in the NBA for multiple years. So Lakers fans
[7:19] Speaker 1: at the time probably hated LeBron. Not that they didn't
[7:21] Speaker 1: accept him when he was here, but they still probably
[7:24] Speaker 1: had the Kobe is better type of mentality. But they
[7:26] Speaker 1: don't have that with Luka. He was kind of after Kobe.
[7:29] Speaker 1: They don't have a reason to not embrace him like
[7:31] Speaker 1: a Kobe or someone else who was a Laker legend.
[7:35] Speaker 3: Facts. BD with surgery.
[7:37] Speaker 1: Austin Reeves spitting or tripping saying Lakers fans will embrace
[7:40] Speaker 1: Luka when they did LeBron.
[7:41] Speaker 6: Facts.
[7:43] Speaker 4: I think LeBron coming here was, you know, it was
[7:45] Speaker 4: a huge move. I thought, you know, he brought the
[7:48] Speaker 4: LeBron fandom, you know, the LeBronies, the whatever they call it,
[7:52] Speaker 4: his fan base.
[7:53] Speaker 1: What are y'all calling yourselves? Just LeBron fans. The LeBron fans.
[7:58] Speaker 1: We have other names, very negative, inflammatory names from haters.
[8:03] Speaker 4: But like him bringing his fan base here on the
[8:11] Speaker 4: heels of Kobe, like honestly, a lot of true Laker fans,
[8:15] Speaker 4: true L.A. fans did not want that because they want,
[8:19] Speaker 4: you know, it's like the Laker fans wanted to see
[8:22] Speaker 4: them crack in the finals like Kobe LeBron that never
[8:25] Speaker 4: cracked in the finals we never seen that so LeBron
[8:29] Speaker 4: coming here was almost like man what is he doing
[8:32] Speaker 4: like hey man like nah nah we cool Kobe over
[8:36] Speaker 4: here we chilling we got Kobe now LeBron why like
[8:40] Speaker 4: why and then all the Lakers you know all the
[8:44] Speaker 4: true haters because LA got some true haters they like.
[8:48] Speaker 3: Well, he came over here for movies. Well, he came
[8:50] Speaker 3: over here for this. He came to do everything.
[8:54] Speaker 4: But they also built up a rapport and a recipe
[8:59] Speaker 4: for all the things you need to hate about LeBron
[9:02] Speaker 4: instead of being like, damn, we just got LeBron James
[9:05] Speaker 4: and rocking it out. And I think now I always
[9:08] Speaker 4: say when LeBron leaves is when people appreciate him the
[9:11] Speaker 4: most because he gave you.
[9:14] Speaker 3: Everything you can get from a basketball standpoint.
[9:16] Speaker 4: But Coming off the heels of Kobe, it was like, yeah, dawg,
[9:20] Speaker 4: you about to experience a lot of hate. True Laker
[9:23] Speaker 4: fans is like they torn because they hated you the most, homie.
[9:29] Speaker 4: Now you coming over and now you standing in the house,
[9:31] Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
[9:32] Speaker 3: It's like, damn, dawg. Hey, you cool.
[9:35] Speaker 4: Hey, you balling for us. So it's like, damn, man.
[9:40] Speaker 4: It's all Lakers all day.
[9:42] Speaker 3: Now they feel funny. It's just like people feel funny.
[9:46] Speaker 3: With Luka, he's ours. He's LA's. Like, LA can adopt him.
[9:52] Speaker 4: LA can wrap their arms around him because he don't
[9:56] Speaker 4: have none of the leftover pedigree or the leftover legacy
[10:04] Speaker 4: to uphold. He kind of coming in on like, damn,
[10:07] Speaker 4: the Lakers ain't trying to make the playoffs. You ain't
[10:11] Speaker 4: thinking about the Lakers as title contenders coming into the season.
[10:15] Speaker 4: So now with him, his expectations get to start the
[10:19] Speaker 4: same way they started in Dallas, where he gets to show, improve,
[10:23] Speaker 4: and earn the respect.
[10:24] Speaker 1: But LeBron coming in year 16 in the defense of
[10:27] Speaker 1: LeBron haters, year 16, people probably didn't think he had
[10:29] Speaker 1: a lot more years, a lot more left in the tank.
[10:31] Speaker 1: But Lakers hadn't made the playoffs in five straight seasons
[10:33] Speaker 1: before he came, so you'd think they'd be just a
[10:35] Speaker 1: little bit... more appreciative swag of LeBron blessing.
[10:38] Speaker 6: For sure.
[10:39] Speaker 3: That's what I said. You think about it. I'm trying
[10:41] Speaker 3: to turn this franchise around.
[10:44] Speaker 4: But I don't think the Laker fans wanted LeBron to
[10:48] Speaker 4: be the guy to turn their franchise around. Even though
[10:53] Speaker 4: you've got to respect the winning. You've got a bubble championship.
[10:57] Speaker 4: You're back in the hunt. Laker fans are different. Laker
[11:03] Speaker 4: fans are L.A. fans, which is like Very prideful and
[11:08] Speaker 4: very schizophrenic.
[11:10] Speaker 5: It's Kobe House. But LeBron, you know, he's the king.
[11:14] Speaker 5: You know, that's when he became the king to me.
[11:16] Speaker 5: You know, came to L.A. And so what he did,
[11:20] Speaker 5: he got the scoring titles. He got his son on
[11:23] Speaker 5: the team.
[11:25] Speaker 6: Like, damn.
[11:28] Speaker 5: And, you know, in barbershops, they're like, who better, Kobe, Jordan, LeBron?
[11:33] Speaker 5: And LeBron is kept like, like, You know?
[11:37] Speaker 3: Putting himself in that conversation.
[11:39] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[11:42] Speaker 1: He also made Space Jam a new legacy, Swaggy. Much
[11:45] Speaker 1: stronger script.
[11:46] Speaker 3: We not rolling with that. BD, you work in entertainment, film,
[11:49] Speaker 3: much stronger script. Bro, bro, we not. Second and third act,
[11:52] Speaker 3: much stronger. Hell nah. You don't do no Space Jam. Gil,
[11:55] Speaker 3: tell him you don't do no Space Jam 2, dog.
[11:58] Speaker 3: A new legacy. There's only one Space Jam.
[12:00] Speaker 6: I'm the king.
[12:01] Speaker 3: I do what I want.
[12:02] Speaker 4: He could have just did something with the minions. He
[12:08] Speaker 4: could have rocked with the Minions. Hell, you come up
[12:11] Speaker 4: here with Bugs Bunny, dog. Bugs Bunny, we already know
[12:13] Speaker 4: what team he on. Bugs ain't switching up or whoever
[12:16] Speaker 4: was in the movie. I don't even know.
[12:18] Speaker 3: Was Bugs Bunny in the movie?
[12:20] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[12:22] Speaker 5: He came up to LeBron like, ah.
[12:24] Speaker 3: It was a good idea, though.
[12:25] Speaker 4: It was a good script, but you didn't have to
[12:28] Speaker 4: be Space Jams. You could have been Basketball Jams. You
[12:32] Speaker 4: could have been underground hardwood. You know what I mean?
[12:36] Speaker 2: Joining with Space Jams. Joining with Space Jams. I'm doing
[12:40] Speaker 2: Space Jams 2. Part 2, A New Legacy.
[12:43] Speaker 6: And I did more acting. Much better acting. Much better acting.
[12:46] Speaker 4: Hey, dawg, you can't, come on, dawg, you can't compare
[12:49] Speaker 4: Space Jam 2 to Space Jam 1.
[12:51] Speaker 3: I really believed it was LeBron in that movie. You
[12:53] Speaker 3: can't compare, Spade.
[12:54] Speaker 6: Come on. It's different times.
[12:56] Speaker 3: LeBron didn't hit that game-winner. You know what I mean?
[13:00] Speaker 4: He didn't stretch into a cartoon on the last play.
[13:06] Speaker 3: Killer. You ain't never seen that, ever. Let's shift over
[13:11] Speaker 3: to you.
[13:12] Speaker 1: Austin Reeves spent their trip in saying Lakers fans will
[13:13] Speaker 1: embrace Luka more than they did LeBron, Raymond, James Sr.
[13:17] Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, we already watched when LeBron came here.
[13:22] Speaker 3: And how they felt.
[13:26] Speaker 2: Which is weird because, I'm sorry, there was never any
[13:33] Speaker 2: real beef between the two.
[13:36] Speaker 3: Nor the fans, because it was on separate coasts.
[13:39] Speaker 2: So there was really only a few times where they
[13:41] Speaker 2: actually got the matchup, usually Christmas time.
[13:45] Speaker 3: But there was really no rival. No. That's what I'm saying, yeah.
[13:48] Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, there was no actual rival for
[13:51] Speaker 2: the two fans to even think about each other.
[13:54] Speaker 3: It was like two giants on both. They never met
[13:57] Speaker 3: in the finals.
[13:58] Speaker 2: And they never met in the finals for this to exist.
[14:01] Speaker 2: So it was more Curry versus LeBron because they was
[14:05] Speaker 2: meeting in the finals and it was what's the name?
[14:08] Speaker 2: Kobe's teams wasn't good at the time. He was hurt
[14:12] Speaker 2: when LeBron was really taking his dominance. So I think
[14:17] Speaker 2: what really happened was when he comes here, boom. it
[14:25] Speaker 2: felt like, yo, you didn't even give the nigga enough
[14:29] Speaker 2: time to really celebrate and let us.
[14:32] Speaker 3: Get over it. You know what I mean? Why you
[14:36] Speaker 3: in this house already? Don't bring that name here.
[14:40] Speaker 2: You know what I mean? We was willing to say,
[14:44] Speaker 2: you know what? We can be bad for another 10 years.
[14:46] Speaker 2: It's just Kobe all day. But because he comes here
[14:50] Speaker 2: and because of how great he is, It kind of
[14:54] Speaker 2: seemed like.
[14:57] Speaker 3: You want to erase it so we celebrate you already.
[15:01] Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
[15:02] Speaker 4: He came in the house, crib walking with the LA,
[15:05] Speaker 4: riding a skateboard.
[15:07] Speaker 3: It's like, relax. We don't want that. Kobe didn't do that.
[15:12] Speaker 4: Kobe came and Kobe was Kobe. Kobe established his version
[15:15] Speaker 4: of LA.
[15:16] Speaker 3: It's the records. Remember? You know what I mean? You
[15:19] Speaker 3: come doing Space Jam 2. Like, why are you doing
[15:21] Speaker 3: Space Jam 2? But that's what I'm saying.
[15:22] Speaker 2: All the stuff he's doing, he's doing it under this umbrella.
[15:25] Speaker 2: You're breaking Kareem's record in New Jersey. You're doing it
[15:29] Speaker 2: all in New Jersey.
[15:31] Speaker 3: Yeah, it's low-key disrespectful. Carry on the Lakers tradition. I
[15:36] Speaker 3: can't do this to any jersey. I can't do this here.
[15:37] Speaker 3: It's low-key. It's low-key trolling. It's low-key trolling, though.
[15:44] Speaker 2: Low-key trolling. It seemed like he trolling. It seemed like
[15:47] Speaker 2: you wanted to do all this shit. You wanted to
[15:49] Speaker 2: break this record later.
[15:51] Speaker 3: So it's like you're coming in here even if... Yeah,
[15:54] Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying. You're crib walking. You with Kendrick.
[15:58] Speaker 3: You know what I mean? At the pop-out. You doing,
[16:00] Speaker 3: you know, what's up, homie? You doing all that? It
[16:04] Speaker 3: just looked... It just feel... It feel funny. It feel weird.
[16:09] Speaker 3: It feel weird for an L.A. person because Kobe... We
[16:11] Speaker 3: ain't never seen Kobe crip walk, blood walk, none of
[16:15] Speaker 3: that shit. You know what I mean?
[16:16] Speaker 6: Never.
[16:17] Speaker 3: Did not see him ever do that. It's like it
[16:19] Speaker 3: destroyed a lot of Lakers stuff all in... All in
[16:22] Speaker 3: the same. Yeah, it's like I remember Kareem.
[16:25] Speaker 2: It's like he took Kareem out while Kareem's there in
[16:29] Speaker 2: the Laker jersey that Kareem had.
[16:30] Speaker 3: So there's a lot of the ball. And then and
[16:32] Speaker 3: then and then even like, you know. You ain't even really.
[16:37] Speaker 3: It's like, give me that, bro.
[16:38] Speaker 5: I ain't gonna say thank you or nothing.
[16:43] Speaker 4: We ain't getting no Pass the Rock documentary with him
[16:47] Speaker 4: and Kareem.
[16:48] Speaker 3: But we got Space Jam 2. A new legacy. Keep
[16:52] Speaker 3: this thing moving.
[16:53] Speaker 1: Let's stay in the Western Conference where the White Ember
[16:55] Speaker 1: Wolves continue to make noise to start this season. After
[16:58] Speaker 1: winning two straight on the road against the Heat and Magic,
[17:01] Speaker 1: Wolves return to the crib for their home opener Sunday
[17:03] Speaker 1: against the Quietless Raptors. continue their hot streak with another
[17:07] Speaker 1: dominant performance to stay undefeated. Let's check out the highlights. Paolo,
[17:11] Speaker 1: send the video if you don't mind. So, Wolves top-ranked
[17:15] Speaker 1: defense set the tone, holding the Raptors to 21 points
[17:18] Speaker 1: in the first quarter on 9 of 29 shooting, taking
[17:21] Speaker 1: an 11-point lead. Wolves extended the lead to 17 in
[17:23] Speaker 1: the second quarter before the Raptors tried to claw back,
[17:26] Speaker 1: cutting the deficit to 9 at the break. Ant-Man delivered
[17:28] Speaker 1: another impressive performance, putting up 26 points in just 27
[17:32] Speaker 1: minutes of action. And despite battling foul trouble, which limited
[17:37] Speaker 1: him to only 17 minutes, LaMelo Ball, LaVar Ball's baby boy.
[17:42] Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
[17:43] Speaker 2: Look at Ant-Man.
[17:48] Speaker 3: Come on, dog. Don't jump. Got in this picture.
[17:52] Speaker 6: Hello.
[17:53] Speaker 1: So LaMelo finished with 15 points and eight dimes. Melo
[17:56] Speaker 1: hit four threes in the game while making some moves
[18:00] Speaker 1: that had social media going nuts, which we will see Very,
[18:05] Speaker 1: very shortly. The Timberwolves are probably my favorite team to
[18:08] Speaker 1: watch in the NBA right now.
[18:09] Speaker 3: No lie, dude.
[18:12] Speaker 6: Oh, where you going?
[18:14] Speaker 3: Over there.
[18:16] Speaker 6: All this defense on Toronto. Where'd that shit go?
[18:19] Speaker 3: No Kawhi. Oh, okay. Oh, lobbed that. They did have... Ah!
[18:23] Speaker 3: Let's go. Excitement personified. Look how he just throwing the
[18:27] Speaker 3: ball off the court, though. Ah! Ah, who that told him?
[18:32] Speaker 3: Yohan Barajas, I believe. That's Sims, right? Oh. What's with Rachel?
[18:36] Speaker 3: Quit playing, dude. Drew Lee. Drew Lee, legend.
[18:43] Speaker 1: So Wolves outscored the Raptors by 33 points when LaMelo.
[18:47] Speaker 3: Look at Rudy Gobert. Rudy looking so good right now.
[18:49] Speaker 3: Look at him, man. Rudy looking like Walker Kessler. Walker Kessler, dog.
[18:53] Speaker 3: Look at that. Head to head. Yes.
[18:56] Speaker 4: Man, he make you feel so good about playing basketball defense.
[19:01] Speaker 4: You know you're going to get the rock offensively.
[19:04] Speaker 1: This is an ultimate glazing during this highlight.
[19:06] Speaker 4: Come on, dog. I'm the biggest LaMelo fan.
[19:11] Speaker 1: I know you enjoy the Timberwolves. Try to give as
[19:13] Speaker 1: much Timberwolves action on the highlight. Very enjoyable. So, Wolves
[19:19] Speaker 1: outscored the Raptors by 33 points when LaMelo was on
[19:21] Speaker 1: the floor. LaMelo only played 17 minutes. Oh, that new
[19:24] Speaker 1: defense he got. So, Rudy Gobert had 13 rebounds. Jaden
[19:28] Speaker 1: McDaniels added 14 points, three blocks. Scotty Barnes, tough night.
[19:33] Speaker 3: Zero points.
[19:34] Speaker 6: Zero?
[19:34] Speaker 3: 0 for 12 from the field.
[19:38] Speaker 4: You know, it's like a game like that is hard
[19:40] Speaker 4: for Scottie Barnes because it's fast.
[19:42] Speaker 3: And you see how Minnesota play, man. He got to
[19:44] Speaker 3: play deep. Now he got to try to guard everybody.
[19:47] Speaker 3: You got to guard everybody. Then you got to come
[19:49] Speaker 3: on the other end and.
[19:51] Speaker 4: Score on anybody because anybody can guard you.
[19:54] Speaker 3: Yeah, you better shoot a jump shot.
[19:56] Speaker 4: They were sending people. They were stacking the lane. Like,
[19:59] Speaker 4: you got to pull up. I like the way Minnesota play,
[20:02] Speaker 4: and I like the way they share the ball.
[20:05] Speaker 3: You can't. You can shoot any shots you want, but
[20:07] Speaker 3: you can't. But if you can't get your shot, your
[20:10] Speaker 3: game is power game.
[20:11] Speaker 4: You're not an ISO player. You're a downhill, make plays,
[20:17] Speaker 4: playmaker type.
[20:18] Speaker 1: So Raptors shot just 38% from the field, 26% from distance.
[20:22] Speaker 1: Wolves got their third straight win by 20 plus points,
[20:25] Speaker 1: becoming just the third team in NBA history to accomplish
[20:27] Speaker 1: that feat. Wolves are 3-0 for the first time since 2019,
[20:31] Speaker 1: have held Each of their opponents under 100 points to
[20:34] Speaker 1: start the season for the first time since 2008. Swaggy,
[20:37] Speaker 1: I know you're a big Minnesota White Amber Wolves fan.
[20:39] Speaker 3: Dude, don't shake your head.
[20:40] Speaker 2: It just makes no sense. All these three people shooting
[20:45] Speaker 2: 98 points? That's wild.
[20:48] Speaker 4: He ain't even getting no air.
[20:52] Speaker 3: Like, how are you like this? It just doesn't make sense.
[20:54] Speaker 3: You don't have real scores, bro.
[20:56] Speaker 4: They don't have real games.
[21:00] Speaker 3: I'm sorry. You know what? I'm just going to do this.
[21:02] Speaker 2: Like, GMs, coaches, whatever staff, you guys, if you guys
[21:09] Speaker 2: are listening to analytics to.
[21:11] Speaker 3: The point where you're scoring 98, You're the dumb one.
[21:16] Speaker 3: You need to be fired. You're the dumb one because
[21:19] Speaker 3: the person that's giving it to you has no idea
[21:20] Speaker 3: about basketball. Not at all.
[21:22] Speaker 2: You're just looking at numbers that they done created and
[21:25] Speaker 2: made it seem like this is what the new style is.
[21:27] Speaker 2: That is not, like, this is actually sad.
[21:32] Speaker 3: Can't win like that.
[21:33] Speaker 2: This is sad that you're shooting this many threes and
[21:36] Speaker 2: you're scoring 98 points.
[21:38] Speaker 3: If I tell you right now, just take away all threes.
[21:43] Speaker 3: You're going to score. 102, 104. You're going to score 115. Yep.
[21:48] Speaker 3: In this era, for sure.
[21:49] Speaker 2: If you just erase the three-point line, because just like
[21:52] Speaker 2: LaMelo did, right? You have the two, but because you
[21:57] Speaker 2: don't want to shoot the two, you want to shoot
[21:59] Speaker 2: the three, you're going to step back, step back to
[22:00] Speaker 2: getting there. Versus shooting a 78% shot. You're going to
[22:04] Speaker 2: take a tougher shot.
[22:05] Speaker 6: You don't think it's easier for them than threes?
[22:07] Speaker 3: Like when you watch the game.
[22:08] Speaker 6: Because trying to score twos is hard. You got to
[22:10] Speaker 6: get to that lane.
[22:11] Speaker 3: You got to have a game. That's what I'm saying.
[22:14] Speaker 3: You got to have a game. I feel like it's
[22:16] Speaker 3: easier to just catch the shot. We don't need to
[22:18] Speaker 3: have a game. The star player has the game.
[22:20] Speaker 6: The star player has the game. Zero for 12.
[22:23] Speaker 3: It's the bitch. It's the everybody.
[22:25] Speaker 4: It's the everybody else that don't have. Like, back in
[22:28] Speaker 4: our day, we can take tools.
[22:30] Speaker 3: Like, you can get. Like, you can.
[22:32] Speaker 4: Pull up in the mid-range. All that was comfortable. Everybody
[22:36] Speaker 4: practice catch and shoot.
[22:38] Speaker 6: Catch and shoot threes.
[22:40] Speaker 3: Walk up threes.
[22:41] Speaker 4: So, you know, once you catch it and you don't
[22:43] Speaker 4: have it, their whole mentality is to get off the ball,
[22:47] Speaker 4: make the ball have energy, and then find its way
[22:50] Speaker 4: back to whomever, the best player. You know, it's like,
[22:54] Speaker 4: now you got corner boys. Now you got wing boys.
[22:57] Speaker 4: Now you got the whole, you know, it's like a
[22:59] Speaker 4: perimeter corner market.
[23:01] Speaker 3: It is.
[23:02] Speaker 4: And those dudes, unlike the guys in our era who
[23:06] Speaker 4: had to have some type of game to be able
[23:08] Speaker 4: to score in college or be able to score, like,
[23:10] Speaker 4: even if you are on a sorrier team, they evolved
[23:15] Speaker 4: into complimentary guys.
[23:18] Speaker 3: These guys are.
[23:20] Speaker 4: evolving, their game is complimentary game with no specialty.
[23:25] Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
[23:27] Speaker 4: They don't have a necessary, like either you drive, you
[23:32] Speaker 4: pocket pass, you shoot step backs, or you throw the
[23:35] Speaker 4: hook back.
[23:35] Speaker 5: Yeah, when y'all just said Scottie Morris, he's a star.
[23:40] Speaker 5: But you could easily go to the post. If I
[23:43] Speaker 5: don't got it going, I'm going to go to the post.
[23:45] Speaker 3: He don't have that. Think about Wimby. Wimby don't have that.
[23:50] Speaker 3: Wimpy don't happen.
[23:51] Speaker 2: The reason you can't is because Kawhi's not here. You're
[23:55] Speaker 2: the only person and you're a second, third option who
[23:57] Speaker 2: can't really shoot.
[23:58] Speaker 3: We're just going to double you. We're going to make
[24:00] Speaker 3: you shoot three. We're going to make you do what
[24:02] Speaker 3: you do.
[24:03] Speaker 6: So it's not like you're an off person. RJ can
[24:06] Speaker 6: get buckets.
[24:08] Speaker 3: Y'all can't shoot as a group.
[24:10] Speaker 6: I know.
[24:11] Speaker 2: So we're going to pack the lane.
[24:13] Speaker 6: I could get a closer shot. We're packing.
[24:17] Speaker 3: But think about this.
[24:18] Speaker 6: I could get a mismatch with Melo.
[24:20] Speaker 3: Your whole team is.
[24:22] Speaker 4: The whole league, what he said, they got 98 points
[24:25] Speaker 4: and they had shot all them threes, right?
[24:27] Speaker 3: Who? The other team.
[24:29] Speaker 2: Yep.
[24:30] Speaker 3: Yeah. Basically, it's like the Melo hit a three, Ant
[24:34] Speaker 3: hit a three. Now.
[24:37] Speaker 4: You coming back, you ain't thinking about taking your time.
[24:41] Speaker 3: You ain't got no pace. Slow down. Get to the spot.
[24:45] Speaker 5: Like, that's about, yeah, that's like, these dudes is like,
[24:49] Speaker 5: I'm open, shoot.
[24:51] Speaker 4: So they shooting, a lot of these threes are contested
[24:55] Speaker 4: threes or bad shots.
[24:57] Speaker 3: At least a third of them are bad shots.
[24:59] Speaker 6: Well, let me go right here.
[25:01] Speaker 3: You don't got no spot. If you can't shoot. Like that?
[25:07] Speaker 5: That's a lot of people that can draw.
[25:09] Speaker 3: What I'm saying is, okay, now go back. It's the Luka, right?
[25:14] Speaker 3: And you put that same defense, and he's Luka. Where
[25:18] Speaker 3: are he going? What I'm saying is, where are you going?
[25:23] Speaker 5: I'm trying to get the mismatch to get mellow on me.
[25:26] Speaker 2: What I'm saying is, there's no mismatch because you're the
[25:28] Speaker 2: only person here. So with our defense... we're going to
[25:33] Speaker 2: let you shoot a three. If you're going to take threes,
[25:35] Speaker 2: we're going to sit back. Yeah, but Scottie Barnes is like,
[25:37] Speaker 2: you're just going to load up.
[25:39] Speaker 3: You're not getting in his lane.
[25:40] Speaker 2: We're going to load up. We're not letting you get
[25:43] Speaker 2: to his lane. You can't get in.
[25:45] Speaker 4: It's almost a similar defense that Utah was playing against Luka.
[25:50] Speaker 4: You're playing against Scottie Barnes because now it's like, we
[25:53] Speaker 4: know Barrett can get hot and get 40, but we
[25:57] Speaker 4: got a dude that can get 40.
[25:58] Speaker 3: He can get 40. He can get 40.
[26:00] Speaker 4: So, like, Minnesota's best defense I think their best attribute
[26:05] Speaker 4: is the fact that they're going to be taking all
[26:06] Speaker 4: these wild ass threes.
[26:08] Speaker 3: They're going to be.
[26:08] Speaker 4: Making like the highlight to the three is what's going
[26:11] Speaker 4: to fuck a lot of teams up because they're going
[26:13] Speaker 4: to come back and shoot threes to stay in that gap.
[26:17] Speaker 3: And I think Minnesota, they're smart enough. Right.
[26:21] Speaker 4: And they got a real point guard to understand, like, oh,
[26:24] Speaker 4: we have 15.
[26:24] Speaker 3: Let's pour the gas on it.
[26:26] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[26:26] Speaker 4: You know, like he understands, like you may watch you
[26:30] Speaker 4: may watch Lomelo play and think, oh, he out there
[26:32] Speaker 4: just making people feel silly and goofy.
[26:36] Speaker 3: But he actually is. strategizing and surgical, you know what
[26:41] Speaker 3: I mean?
[26:42] Speaker 6: For sure.
[26:42] Speaker 3: With his timing.
[26:44] Speaker 4: And so, like, last year, I think the Hornets was, what,
[26:46] Speaker 4: top team in the league shooting threes or making threes
[26:49] Speaker 4: a game?
[26:50] Speaker 3: Like, now you put.
[26:51] Speaker 4: Him around these dogs. They want to play defense. Minnesota
[26:55] Speaker 4: want to play defense. Don't forget, they got to play defense.
[26:59] Speaker 4: You got Rudy Gobert back there. You got McDaniels, you
[27:02] Speaker 4: know what I mean? And he play defense. Like, so
[27:05] Speaker 4: you got people who want to play defense. it's going
[27:09] Speaker 4: to be tough for a lot of teams playing against
[27:11] Speaker 4: them because their greatest firepower is going to be the
[27:14] Speaker 4: fact that they're going to shoot a lot of threes,
[27:15] Speaker 4: they're going to get a lot of highlights, and they
[27:17] Speaker 4: got three, four dudes that can get, like Kaminga can
[27:20] Speaker 4: go get 15 free throws.
[27:22] Speaker 1: In the league right now, three-point percentage, 42% per game
[27:26] Speaker 1: as a team.
[27:27] Speaker 3: Like this. I go back to the 60s. They were
[27:32] Speaker 3: taking a 60-61. They took 110 yards. Shots a game.
[27:41] Speaker 3: They took it.
[27:44] Speaker 2: You know how many fucking shots that is in a game?
[27:47] Speaker 2: You know how fast you had to be going to
[27:50] Speaker 2: take a hunt?
[27:51] Speaker 3: These guys are in the 80s. This is 30.
[27:55] Speaker 6: More shot attempts.
[27:59] Speaker 3: No threes, which three is supposed to be faster. You're
[28:02] Speaker 3: coming down, shoot a three. They come down, shoot a three.
[28:03] Speaker 2: You're supposed to be getting more shots today than they
[28:07] Speaker 2: did if they got to go all 94 feet to
[28:10] Speaker 2: get a bucket.
[28:11] Speaker 3: 110, 107, 101. I mean, in 63, 64, 99.
[28:12] Speaker 2: Their worst year is today's best year if anybody can get.
[28:15] Speaker 6: To 100 shots.
[28:25] Speaker 3: I know we didn't get to 100 shots. Hell no,
[28:27] Speaker 3: we didn't get to 100. What, 50, 60, 70?
[28:29] Speaker 4: Shit, it seemed like we ain't going to get no shots.
[28:35] Speaker 4: For real, we got 70, 80 shots.
[28:39] Speaker 2: When the three-point line got introduced, they still scored 109.
[28:43] Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, they know. Yeah. They average 110, 109.
[28:49] Speaker 3: What is the league? Who's leading the league in points
[28:53] Speaker 3: and how many points are they averaging?
[28:54] Speaker 1: I think Lakers are number one. Let me double check.
[28:56] Speaker 3: Yeah. Because last year, who was the leader and what
[28:59] Speaker 3: did they average? 110, 109? No, it was not 120 something.
[29:01] Speaker 6: It was 120?
[29:02] Speaker 3: Might have been Miami.
[29:02] Speaker 2: Damn.
[29:02] Speaker 3: Lakers are averaging 128 points per game. 128? Yeah.
[29:06] Speaker 6: That should be across the board.
[29:08] Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay, yes, though Nuggets average 122 again. He was second.
[29:19] Speaker 3: It has gone right now. I'm gonna cross the board.
[29:22] Speaker 1: 121 points per game for Minnesota and.
[29:27] Speaker 3: They're getting less shots in the hands.
[29:29] Speaker 6: Can you say champs? Hey, can y'all say champs? It's
[29:34] Speaker 6: coming to Minnesota.
[29:36] Speaker 1: So it's like that. Is that your impression of the
[29:38] Speaker 1: Wolves with their first three games?
[29:39] Speaker 6: Oh We got the best.
[29:40] Speaker 1: Third team in the NBA history to start the season
[29:42] Speaker 1: with three straight 20-point.
[29:44] Speaker 6: You see how the Spurs look. They still trying to
[29:47] Speaker 6: figure it out.
[29:47] Speaker 3: Ah, they done.
[29:48] Speaker 6: They done. Sorry, what happened to OKC?
[29:52] Speaker 2: I don't want to say they done done, but they
[29:55] Speaker 2: got some things to work out over there.
[29:57] Speaker 6: You got OKC hurt.
[29:58] Speaker 5: You got All we worried about is probably Philly. But
[30:04] Speaker 5: we done killed LeBron so many times in the playoffs,
[30:07] Speaker 5: he probably traumatized, you know. He walked around with his
[30:10] Speaker 5: head on a stick last time in L.A., downtown, saying,
[30:13] Speaker 5: is this your king? Now we got a running mate.
[30:16] Speaker 5: We got Jalen Daniels balling like an all-star out here,
[30:20] Speaker 5: doing everything, making somebody go 0 for 12. That's an all-star.
[30:24] Speaker 5: I never seen an all-star score zero points in a game.
[30:28] Speaker 5: Can't shoot, can't shoot, but he's an all-star franchise player.
[30:32] Speaker 5: 40 minutes on the court, can't get a point. There's
[30:35] Speaker 5: no excuse for that. Jalen Daniels did that to his ass,
[30:37] Speaker 5: that's all. And Ant-Man gave him the buckets. When you
[30:41] Speaker 5: keep seeing yourself just flying around and shit, your mind
[30:44] Speaker 5: get fucked up. You don't know what to do. Being
[30:46] Speaker 5: everybody by 30, 20-plus, did that to Miami. See, we
[30:50] Speaker 5: playing different teams. Utah playing, I mean, Lakers playing Utah.
[30:54] Speaker 5: We play Miami, Orlando, Toronto. So he played a bunch
[30:57] Speaker 5: of sorry teams, too.
[30:59] Speaker 6: Miami's supposed to be number one.
[31:01] Speaker 3: Miami's supposed to be number one. That's right. No, no, no.
[31:04] Speaker 3: We're looking at their ass by 20, though.
[31:05] Speaker 6: It's a difference.
[31:06] Speaker 3: I put the number one. Don't mean they were supposed
[31:07] Speaker 3: to be number one. I said they should be number one.
[31:09] Speaker 6: But we're winning by 20.
[31:10] Speaker 3: I get it. But it's a bunch of sorry teams, too.
[31:12] Speaker 6: We're Miami ass by 30.
[31:13] Speaker 3: You see how you feel, though? You feel good. You
[31:15] Speaker 3: feel like going to the championship. No, no.
[31:17] Speaker 6: We going.
[31:18] Speaker 3: You get that win, and you're 3-0. You get to
[31:20] Speaker 3: talk that shit.
[31:20] Speaker 6: Did you see the Lakers be in that team?
[31:22] Speaker 3: We're 3-0.
[31:24] Speaker 6: Do you see it like it's me and us?
[31:25] Speaker 3: We're 3-0. I don't got any vision shit. That's going
[31:31] Speaker 3: to be a good-ass game. That's going to be a
[31:34] Speaker 3: good matchup. That's all that's going to happen.
[31:37] Speaker 2: Hey, man.
[31:38] Speaker 3: With y'all nuggets, do y'all give out free barbecue sauce? Huh?
[31:44] Speaker 2: Because you see what we did to the last team.
[31:46] Speaker 2: You know, it's 50 on there. You know how y'all
[31:48] Speaker 2: said y'all's.
[31:49] Speaker 3: We did that to Miami. Did y'all see family specials? Defenders.
[31:52] Speaker 1: Huh?
[31:52] Speaker 3: We did that to defenders. Bam was a defender. D.
[31:57] Speaker 3: Mitchell's a defender.
[31:58] Speaker 5: Oh, Green Freak, the biggest defender, I thought.
[32:01] Speaker 3: Was he?
[32:02] Speaker 5: Like the best defender next to Wimby before Wimby did
[32:05] Speaker 5: all that shit?
[32:06] Speaker 3: What I got is a great score. Score the fenders.
[32:10] Speaker 3: I'm a score. No, no, no, no, but you started
[32:12] Speaker 3: people who can't score. I'm a school.
[32:14] Speaker 5: Scotty Bones is the he can't score He made it off.
[32:17] Speaker 3: He didn't score. I get booed with his numbers. Huh?
[32:21] Speaker 3: I stopped me. Sure. Give me the zero Defender make
[32:23] Speaker 3: me have zero Defenders Defenders That Toronto team can't score.
[32:36] Speaker 6: They scored.
[32:37] Speaker 3: They won a couple games. They can't score. Kawhi did
[32:40] Speaker 3: not play low. What I'm saying is this right here.
[32:43] Speaker 3: The only zero I'm going to have is at the end.
[32:44] Speaker 3: It's going to be the second number. It's going to
[32:46] Speaker 3: be 60-0. It's going to be a zero at the end.
[32:49] Speaker 6: You're playing against Utah, though.
[32:51] Speaker 5: You had 16 on the team that played defense.
[32:54] Speaker 6: The Clippers. Remember that.
[32:56] Speaker 3: Yeah, we was about 100. Back to the Minnesota Wyomberwolves.
[33:01] Speaker 1: So the Wyomberwolves currently have six players in the top
[33:03] Speaker 1: ten of plus minus to start the season with LaMelo
[33:05] Speaker 1: and Jaden McDaniels tied for the league lead. Also have
[33:08] Speaker 1: the league's top rated defense through three games. League's top
[33:10] Speaker 1: rated defense and a top six offense. So LaMelo's on
[33:14] Speaker 1: that team, right?
[33:15] Speaker 3: LaMelo?
[33:16] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[33:16] Speaker 3: LaMelo's a friend of mine. He's like, oh, we don't
[33:18] Speaker 3: know how he's doing because he can't play no defense.
[33:19] Speaker 1: Well, even Lonzo, his brother said, damn, I ain't never
[33:21] Speaker 1: seen you play defense like that.
[33:22] Speaker 3: Oh, he can't play no defense.
[33:23] Speaker 1: So when you're inspired in a good situation where you
[33:24] Speaker 1: feel loved and appreciated, you got other YNs around you.
[33:27] Speaker 3: You see how that shit don't matter when it's team defense. Yeah.
[33:30] Speaker 4: Is it the team same thing with Lucas Lucas to
[33:34] Speaker 4: do is you put Luke on his team.
[33:36] Speaker 5: Is you won't?
[33:38] Speaker 3: Be seen that because the team plays great.
[33:41] Speaker 5: Yes, but you still got to give effort We've seen
[33:43] Speaker 5: Luca with a great defensive team.
[33:45] Speaker 3: I give it But did I should not nice coaching man.
[33:49] Speaker 3: It's it's it's it's it's.
[33:51] Speaker 4: What we said is the star player wanting to be
[33:54] Speaker 4: even greater and buying into a What the Cubs? Like,
[33:58] Speaker 4: you look at LaMelo, he buying into everything that Minnesota is.
[34:03] Speaker 4: And so, the Y-Ember Wolves is what you call it?
[34:06] Speaker 3: The Y-Ember Wolves. Like, they all bought into that.
[34:08] Speaker 4: And so, when you got that mentality, it's going to
[34:12] Speaker 4: be infectious defensively. And so, somebody like LaMelo, it's not
[34:17] Speaker 4: that he can't play defense, he can play defense. He
[34:20] Speaker 4: probably got great instincts, right? He got great basketball knowledge.
[34:24] Speaker 4: So him giving that effort on the defensive end is
[34:28] Speaker 4: just going to cause more chaos and it's going to
[34:31] Speaker 4: help them offensively because now, you know, you look at
[34:33] Speaker 4: their offense, like it's hard to get up and down
[34:36] Speaker 4: the court with them. And then if they slow it up,
[34:38] Speaker 4: it's hard to keep all these dudes in front of
[34:40] Speaker 4: you because they whipping the rock around. The rock getting whipped.
[34:45] Speaker 4: Then they fall and tear Shannon in and he can shoot, drive,
[34:49] Speaker 4: and he can wiggle. McDaniels, shoot, drive, and can wiggle.
[34:53] Speaker 4: And shoot, drive, and can wiggle. LaMelo, shoot, drive, and
[34:57] Speaker 4: can wiggle. Like, they got a bunch of the other
[34:59] Speaker 4: dudes here.
[35:00] Speaker 3: Ayo, he can do the same.
[35:02] Speaker 4: Like, yo, they got a lot of versatility that I like, man.
[35:06] Speaker 1: Best team in the league right now after three games,
[35:08] Speaker 1: small sample size.
[35:10] Speaker 3: Dangerous. Most dangerous.
[35:11] Speaker 6: Best team in the league.
[35:13] Speaker 3: Most dangerous.
[35:14] Speaker 2: Me as a coach or a junior manager, I would
[35:17] Speaker 2: have cut the medal out last night.
[35:19] Speaker 3: Why would you have done that? Because you got in
[35:22] Speaker 3: foul trouble. Like I told you to give effort. Don't
[35:25] Speaker 3: be fouling. I need you on the court. I don't
[35:29] Speaker 3: need you to get in foul trouble and sit over here.
[35:30] Speaker 4: You are going to get fired as a GM.
[35:32] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[35:36] Speaker 2: My GM got raised because if I'm staying in the game,
[35:40] Speaker 2: my numbers go sky.
[35:41] Speaker 3: How many minutes did he play last night? 17 minutes.
[35:44] Speaker 3: 17 minutes. And what was his plus minus when he
[35:45] Speaker 3: was on the floor? Plus 33. God damn. How many
[35:49] Speaker 3: points did he have? 15 and 8 assists. See, 15,
[35:52] Speaker 3: 8 assists. He could have had 30 and 16. No, no,
[35:53] Speaker 3: for sure. For sure. Don't fucking up the set. You're
[35:56] Speaker 3: fucking up the stack. For sure. Keep your ass in
[35:59] Speaker 3: the game. No, no, no. You know what? I tell him,
[36:01] Speaker 3: I'll be like, dude, good effort. You learning. Don't foul.
[36:05] Speaker 3: Don't foul. It's a teaching lesson. They got to get better.
[36:07] Speaker 3: So you got to be like, man.
[36:08] Speaker 6: For sure.
[36:09] Speaker 3: Look, I see you giving the effort. We don't need you.
[36:11] Speaker 4: You know, like, let's look at these fouls. Okay, let's
[36:13] Speaker 4: take four of them off. Yeah.
[36:16] Speaker 2: Like that, like stopping a fast break?
[36:18] Speaker 3: Yeah. Star player don't do that. Yeah. No take fouls. Yeah,
[36:23] Speaker 3: you do the, you know, swipe through and miss like you.
[36:25] Speaker 3: You always got to mean something. Don't do the take. Yeah,
[36:28] Speaker 3: you always got to mean something.
[36:30] Speaker 5: But you probably think he might. look a certain way
[36:33] Speaker 5: if you don't do nothing.
[36:35] Speaker 2: Man, you better swipe through and stay.
[36:38] Speaker 6: In the game.
[36:39] Speaker 3: You better swipe.
[36:40] Speaker 4: It's like if you take two good fouls, dog, you
[36:43] Speaker 4: can like really fuck somebody up and make it really
[36:46] Speaker 4: feel like you can set the tone defensively. You know,
[36:49] Speaker 4: even if it is trying to pluck somebody at half court,
[36:52] Speaker 4: you know, or letting somebody go to the hole and bam,
[36:55] Speaker 4: slapping down on their forearms.
[36:57] Speaker 3: Like, you know, like you can set the tone defensively.
[37:00] Speaker 4: As a weak defender by just doing, by fouling the
[37:03] Speaker 4: right way.
[37:04] Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
[37:05] Speaker 2: Like, Towns kind of, like, puts his team in a
[37:07] Speaker 2: bad situation.
[37:08] Speaker 6: Yeah, because he, yeah.
[37:09] Speaker 2: Because he gets in foul trouble, so it's like our
[37:11] Speaker 2: second best player can't stay on the floor.
[37:13] Speaker 3: Yeah. It's like, damn, I'd rather you just let him
[37:15] Speaker 3: score the two points. Exactly. So you can stay on
[37:18] Speaker 3: for six more minutes. Like, it's crazy. It's just, like,
[37:22] Speaker 3: one of them, like, you.
[37:22] Speaker 4: Gotta know how to, yeah, you gotta, like, once he start,
[37:25] Speaker 4: once he start learning how to foul.
[37:26] Speaker 3: That's up. And how valuable, you know, Yeah, like you're
[37:30] Speaker 3: too valuable to be sitting on the bench with foul trouble.
[37:32] Speaker 2: It just doesn't like, I'd rather you play defense like
[37:34] Speaker 2: Luke at this point. Then sit there and you're missing
[37:38] Speaker 2: half the game.
[37:39] Speaker 3: Means Brunson has to do all the work now. It just,
[37:43] Speaker 3: I need you on the floor. But they got heat.
[37:46] Speaker 3: They got heat.
[37:47] Speaker 4: The thing about it is they getting used to him,
[37:49] Speaker 4: he getting used to them, and they still got heat.
[37:53] Speaker 4: They still got great guard play. Looking lovely right now,
[37:56] Speaker 4: 3-0 right now. They will go to Cleveland tonight, take
[38:00] Speaker 4: on the Cavs to try to make it 4-0. So
[38:01] Speaker 4: we talked about a good team in the Timberwolves. Let's
[38:03] Speaker 4: talk about a not good team.
[38:05] Speaker 6: Currently.
[38:06] Speaker 1: So when the Heat made the blockbuster trade for Giannis
[38:08] Speaker 1: this summer, expectation was they would catapult to becoming one
[38:11] Speaker 1: of the elite teams in the league. So far, they
[38:13] Speaker 1: have failed to live up to those lofty expectations. And
[38:16] Speaker 1: the team has struggled to even win a game. Got
[38:18] Speaker 1: smacked in their season opener. Follow that up with another
[38:21] Speaker 1: home loss to the Pistons. Giannis averaged 36 points through
[38:25] Speaker 1: those first two games. But Saturday showed what can happen
[38:28] Speaker 1: when opponents limit his production. Heat lost to the Hornets,
[38:31] Speaker 1: falling to 0-3, which is.
[38:32] Speaker 3: Their worst start. since 2007.
[38:34] Speaker 1: Giannis scored 14 points in that game before fouling out.
[38:38] Speaker 1: So Miami's offense and defense both been very inconsistent. Heat
[38:42] Speaker 1: are allowing 125 points per game while scoring just 109
[38:46] Speaker 1: points per game. Bam Adebayo averaging only 13 points.
[38:49] Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
[38:50] Speaker 1: Miami's lack of spacing and defensive consistency becoming impossible to ignore.
[38:54] Speaker 1: Some of the scouts thought that they would be the
[38:55] Speaker 1: number one team in the Eastern Conference. It's only three games,
[38:59] Speaker 1: but that's not the case right now.
[39:01] Speaker 3: That's crazy.
[39:02] Speaker 1: He'd have the fourth-worst offensive rating, seventh-worst defensive rating in
[39:06] Speaker 1: the league right now. Miami's starting five been outscored by
[39:09] Speaker 1: 47.1 points per 100 possessions through its first 31 minutes together,
[39:14] Speaker 1: which is the worst in the league among starting units
[39:16] Speaker 1: that have played at least 30 minutes together. Gil, you
[39:20] Speaker 1: were a big fan of this heat team.
[39:21] Speaker 6: I just wanted an apology.
[39:23] Speaker 3: You pointed out some potential deficiencies with that.
[39:24] Speaker 6: I just wanted an apology.
[39:26] Speaker 3: Hey, Gil looking around like, who said that shit? When
[39:29] Speaker 3: do I get my apology? Hey, Gil looking around like,
[39:33] Speaker 3: who said that? How disturbing is it? I just wanted
[39:36] Speaker 3: an apology. You was right. When did that happen?
[39:38] Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying?
[39:39] Speaker 2: Like, okay, out of all the predictions I made, you're
[39:42] Speaker 2: right about this one.
[39:44] Speaker 3: Oh, my God. You know what? I'm just saying, when
[39:48] Speaker 3: do I get the credit? Do I get the credit
[39:49] Speaker 3: for saying New Yorkers are going to do what they're
[39:50] Speaker 3: going to do? They're going to start like this? Didn't
[39:52] Speaker 3: I say Spurs are going to start like this? I
[39:53] Speaker 3: said that, right?
[39:55] Speaker 6: No, I was with you with the Spurs.
[39:56] Speaker 3: I said that, right? I said that. No, no, no, no.
[39:59] Speaker 2: I said, I don't believe in these teams like that.
[40:03] Speaker 3: That back-to-back shit. And you didn't bring nobody. I said that.
[40:05] Speaker 3: But look. Look, I'm going to let you know. I'm
[40:08] Speaker 3: going to let you know. So far, you're right. We're
[40:10] Speaker 3: going to stick in Miami. We got to stay in Miami.
[40:12] Speaker 3: We're going to stick in Miami.
[40:14] Speaker 2: And I'm going to go back to what I used
[40:15] Speaker 2: to say. There's a fucking AAU program down there, okay?
[40:20] Speaker 2: They got Giannis.
[40:21] Speaker 3: That's sarcastic. I'm disappointed in him. I'm really disappointed in him.
[40:27] Speaker 2: I thought just getting Giannis made everything better. I said, damn,
[40:32] Speaker 2: y'all was better with Tyler Herro.
[40:35] Speaker 3: That's crazy, brother.
[40:36] Speaker 4: The Miami Bucks and the Milwaukee Heat.
[40:41] Speaker 3: I've been looking at the game like, Down 20? Oh,
[40:46] Speaker 3: Giannis said Bam must not be playing. Man. Dog, it's crazy.
[40:50] Speaker 3: Both the Bucks and the Heat 0-3. You know what
[40:52] Speaker 3: it is? They don't have a point guard.
[40:54] Speaker 4: So Miami's problem is you don't have a point guard
[40:58] Speaker 4: and Giannis is not willing to concede to any type
[41:01] Speaker 4: of offensive structure. So it's going to take Miami a
[41:05] Speaker 4: long time to figure out that similar to LeBron, somebody
[41:11] Speaker 4: like Giannis, you have to figure out how to like
[41:14] Speaker 4: Make your game evolve to how he plays, which is
[41:18] Speaker 4: going to take some time for Spolstra. They also never
[41:21] Speaker 4: play the right lineups. They don't have the right lineups.
[41:24] Speaker 4: They don't have the right combinations. And I don't think
[41:27] Speaker 4: that they have the right offense. You know, you got
[41:30] Speaker 4: Giannis and Bam and Shooters. I do like Davion Mitchell.
[41:33] Speaker 4: I like Wiggins. But, like, Wiggins ain't been unlocked.
[41:36] Speaker 3: You know, like Bam ain't been unlocked. We talked about this.
[41:41] Speaker 4: Before the season, Bam has to come into this season
[41:44] Speaker 4: averaging at least 25 points a game. It don't make
[41:48] Speaker 4: no sense. And so we know Giannis is ball dominant.
[41:52] Speaker 4: We know Giannis get the rebound and push it himself.
[41:55] Speaker 4: We know Giannis, you know, will drive from the, you
[41:59] Speaker 4: know what I'm, it's like a lot of attention on Giannis.
[42:02] Speaker 4: And I think Giannis also, now as he gets older,
[42:07] Speaker 4: he got to start making adjustments and of how to
[42:10] Speaker 4: include people. You're going to get 36, bro. You're going
[42:13] Speaker 4: to get your 20. You're going to hit your numbers. But, like,
[42:16] Speaker 4: Giannis has got to figure out how to unlock them.
[42:19] Speaker 4: Giannis has got to figure out how to unlock Klay.
[42:21] Speaker 4: Giannis has got to figure out how to make Wiggins'
[42:23] Speaker 4: life easier. And I think there's never been a case
[42:27] Speaker 4: where playing with Giannis has made any superstar's life that
[42:33] Speaker 4: much easier.
[42:33] Speaker 3: It's always been harder. Yeah.
[42:36] Speaker 6: Giannis is doing more huddling than he can. In Miami,
[42:39] Speaker 6: Denny Davis.
[42:41] Speaker 3: Milwaukee.
[42:42] Speaker 6: I see y'all is in the huddle.
[42:43] Speaker 3: Come on, every minute. Like, come on, we got to
[42:45] Speaker 3: do this.
[42:45] Speaker 6: I'm tired of that shit. I'm so tired of this shit.
[42:50] Speaker 3: It's like wherever you go, your game going to follow.
[42:53] Speaker 5: You know, somebody got to be the guy to say, Clay,
[42:57] Speaker 5: you can't. You're not a starter right now.
[42:59] Speaker 3: We love Clay. He shouldn't be starting, bro. That's what
[43:02] Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's about that time. It's the coach. The
[43:06] Speaker 3: coach got to make these adjustments. Clay, we love you.
[43:09] Speaker 4: Because if you start Clay, if he get off and
[43:12] Speaker 4: he hit two or three threes in the beginning, you're
[43:16] Speaker 4: not bringing him back to middle of the second anyway.
[43:21] Speaker 4: So you might as well bring Clay off the bench.
[43:23] Speaker 4: And now that nine points, that eight, 12 points, that
[43:26] Speaker 4: he getting off in the first half, that's exciting. It's
[43:29] Speaker 4: not exciting when you got Giannis and Bam, who already
[43:33] Speaker 4: need to figure out what they got to do. And
[43:35] Speaker 4: you got Wiggins, right? So you got Giannis, Bam, and Wiggins. Like,
[43:40] Speaker 4: why is Klay Thompson starting? Because you know you got
[43:42] Speaker 4: to get Klay Thompson's shots in order if he starts,
[43:45] Speaker 4: and that's four to five extra. Like, you got to
[43:48] Speaker 4: get him a shot. He's not getting his own, and
[43:51] Speaker 4: they not giving him, he not getting no freebies.
[43:53] Speaker 3: Like, I know y'all say this, who they putting in?
[43:56] Speaker 6: But it's about that time.
[43:57] Speaker 3: Who are they going to put in? Yeah, who are
[43:59] Speaker 3: they going to put in? Man, you can start. The
[44:02] Speaker 3: backups are shooting 16 and 17 percent.
[44:04] Speaker 6: For the three. It's just awful.
[44:05] Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure it out. I think it's a
[44:07] Speaker 3: lineup combination.
[44:08] Speaker 4: They ain't figured out, like, when do you play Bam
[44:11] Speaker 4: and Giannis? When do you just play Giannis? When do
[44:14] Speaker 4: you just play Bam? Like, you got an identity disorder
[44:19] Speaker 4: that if you can— You got people on this team
[44:24] Speaker 4: that knows how to play with Bam through Bam when
[44:27] Speaker 4: Giannis is sitting.
[44:28] Speaker 2: The difference is they don't have our training camp.
[44:33] Speaker 3: Yeah. Where our training camp was a month.
[44:37] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[44:38] Speaker 2: Of training and working and figuring it out and trying
[44:41] Speaker 2: to figure out the lineups.
[44:42] Speaker 3: Are you five? Like we had time to do that,
[44:45] Speaker 3: get in shape. Right now they have what? A training
[44:47] Speaker 3: camp for two days. Now they're going over the country.
[44:49] Speaker 3: They're not practicing. Then it's game time.
[44:52] Speaker 2: Like, you know, like, so some of these guys, these
[44:56] Speaker 2: guys ain't really actually like working before they start playing
[45:01] Speaker 2: their five on five games that actually count.
[45:04] Speaker 3: In the real game. And then they learn it through
[45:07] Speaker 3: film too, right? Like this is October, right? Yeah.
[45:11] Speaker 4: The season used to start on Halloween.
[45:15] Speaker 3: Halloween was our first game.
[45:16] Speaker 2: That means all this shit is preseason.
[45:19] Speaker 3: Yeah, all this will be preseason. This is preseason shit.
[45:22] Speaker 3: Halloween is our first game. Yeah, yeah.
[45:25] Speaker 2: And that's coming in early. Before shit, it was November
[45:27] Speaker 2: 1st of Halloween.
[45:28] Speaker 3: Yep, Halloween. We had a whole month.
[45:31] Speaker 5: You want to be Magic Johnson against the... What happened
[45:33] Speaker 5: to all that Magic Johnson shit?
[45:34] Speaker 2: Yeah, you.
[45:35] Speaker 3: What happened to all that Magic Johnson shit? I just
[45:37] Speaker 3: hit a regular nigga making pass. A regular Greco-Negro. Every
[45:42] Speaker 3: time I turn on Miami, he in the huddle trying
[45:44] Speaker 3: to get in. Come on, y'all. All right, now. Now, fans. Now,
[45:47] Speaker 3: since we see Miami Heat... Come on, y'all. Oh, my God.
[45:50] Speaker 3: We see one nigga out there. We see everybody missing. Now... Now,
[45:56] Speaker 3: if he goes out.
[45:58] Speaker 2: And he takes 45 shots, is he doing too much?
[46:04] Speaker 3: He's doing way too much. He's doing way too much?
[46:06] Speaker 3: Is he ball hogging? He is ball hogging, dog. Are
[46:10] Speaker 3: you not watching the game? Why do you want to
[46:11] Speaker 3: see this shit? Full court every time.
[46:14] Speaker 4: How many times.
[46:15] Speaker 3: Can he miss before I keep passing him the ball?
[46:17] Speaker 3: Time out. Time out. No. No. No. Gil, the only reason.
[46:23] Speaker 3: We'll take it, Paolo. We'll take it. It's close enough.
[46:25] Speaker 4: Because Gil is a ball hog. So Gil don't give
[46:28] Speaker 4: a fuck about nobody's.
[46:29] Speaker 3: Feelings, chemistry, rhythm, flow. I do.
[46:32] Speaker 4: It's like if he making shots, I will pass him
[46:35] Speaker 4: the ball. If not, I'm not passing him the ball.
[46:37] Speaker 4: Giannis cannot have that mentality. Yeah, this is not Milwaukee.
[46:41] Speaker 4: Giannis is not like, he's not a bona fide scorer.
[46:46] Speaker 3: He scores. He's dominant. He's dominant, but he's not a
[46:49] Speaker 3: bona fide score, bona fide playmaker. So who is on
[46:52] Speaker 3: our team? Bam. Bam is a playmaker.
[46:55] Speaker 4: Giannis has to conform his game to make sure that
[47:01] Speaker 4: other people can actually have a rhythm because it will
[47:05] Speaker 4: make life easier for him.
[47:07] Speaker 3: They're pressing, dog.
[47:09] Speaker 4: He just fouled out at 14 points because he's trying
[47:12] Speaker 4: to figure out, do I run over everybody? Do I
[47:15] Speaker 4: run through people? These dudes ain't hitting shots. It's almost
[47:18] Speaker 4: like you're making the game so much harder for yourself
[47:22] Speaker 4: instead of trusting the fact that, dog, there's other professionals.
[47:26] Speaker 3: Out here, and these dudes can get busy, too. Oh, man.
[47:28] Speaker 6: That's that two-point shift.
[47:30] Speaker 3: They was doing that back in the day. We all
[47:31] Speaker 3: here looking here, man.
[47:32] Speaker 4: You never know who's going to show up and play
[47:35] Speaker 4: well for you.
[47:36] Speaker 3: You have to give them that chance. You got to
[47:39] Speaker 3: give him that grace.
[47:39] Speaker 5: Can you imagine if you just on the other side,
[47:41] Speaker 5: like if you Wiggins and you just sitting there going
[47:44] Speaker 5: coast to coast.
[47:44] Speaker 3: He's not a shoot.
[47:45] Speaker 4: Like, like this is different. You're not Milwaukee. And his
[47:48] Speaker 4: team is like baked in for you. You got another big,
[47:51] Speaker 4: you got real responsibilities. You got responsibilities. You got to
[47:57] Speaker 4: play defense. You got to block shots. You have to
[48:00] Speaker 4: be a playmaker. You don't have a point guard.
[48:04] Speaker 3: Because he's a point guard.
[48:05] Speaker 2: So I'm trying to figure out, all right, so let's
[48:07] Speaker 2: just say I'm Toronto Raptors and I'm R.J.
[48:09] Speaker 3: Barrett, right? And the star player is 0-3, right?
[48:17] Speaker 1: Right.
[48:18] Speaker 2: How many more shots do I... How many times do
[48:21] Speaker 2: I give him the ball before I say, nigga, you
[48:23] Speaker 2: don't have it tonight? I'm not letting you go 0-12.
[48:27] Speaker 2: You're not getting the ball that many more times to
[48:30] Speaker 2: go 0-12.
[48:30] Speaker 3: Like, you're not getting that.
[48:32] Speaker 6: You should be able to do that.
[48:33] Speaker 3: You're not getting that.
[48:34] Speaker 6: If I pass it to the start.
[48:35] Speaker 3: Player three times and he 0-3... He better figure out
[48:41] Speaker 3: another way to get it because I'm looking him off now. No, no, no.
[48:43] Speaker 6: A star player can get as many shots.
[48:44] Speaker 3: I'm looking him off now. Hey, bro, you're not looking.
[48:49] Speaker 3: This ain't it. Bro, you're not looking me off, dog.
[48:52] Speaker 3: That's not happening. You are not looking me off, dog. No,
[48:56] Speaker 3: I can't do that. Come up off that right, Charlie. Hey, Charlie,
[49:01] Speaker 3: I got to get going. Whether it's the third quarter,
[49:04] Speaker 3: fourth quarter. When you was a star, did somebody ever
[49:06] Speaker 3: take the ball and be like... Did Deshaun Stevenson do
[49:09] Speaker 3: that to you? Deshaun Stevenson. I never started off 0-3.
[49:11] Speaker 3: I don't know. I got the ball. There's no negotiating
[49:16] Speaker 3: with that. I'm just figuring.
[49:20] Speaker 2: Out how many times do I'm sitting there calling your.
[49:23] Speaker 3: Play before I just take this myself. If you watch
[49:26] Speaker 3: Miami play, they have....
[49:32] Speaker 4: They are still in training camp. That's the way I
[49:34] Speaker 4: look at them. They haven't figured out. They have a
[49:37] Speaker 4: huge dynamic. They got two great players that don't know
[49:41] Speaker 4: how to play with each other. That's never had that
[49:45] Speaker 4: to compliment this. And so we don't know who should
[49:49] Speaker 4: do the initiation of the offense, where the offense should
[49:52] Speaker 4: run through.
[49:53] Speaker 3: We just know this.
[49:54] Speaker 4: Now everybody on the team is figuring out, oh, this
[49:57] Speaker 4: is how Giannis play.
[49:59] Speaker 3: Damn. How do you build your game? You got to
[50:04] Speaker 3: figure that shit out.
[50:05] Speaker 4: You got to figure that shit out to build your
[50:07] Speaker 4: game around it is what I'm saying.
[50:11] Speaker 6: Maybe that was a trick.
[50:12] Speaker 3: Maybe that was a trick. They're looking at him and
[50:14] Speaker 3: they're like, man, he don't pass it. You know what?
[50:16] Speaker 3: Maybe we can.
[50:17] Speaker 2: If we call him Magic, maybe he might. Hey, man,
[50:21] Speaker 2: your game is like Magic. You remind me of Magic.
[50:23] Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like 17 and 20.
[50:25] Speaker 3: He like, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. He like, yeah.
[50:27] Speaker 3: For sure. But he'll get that. He'll still get 8,
[50:30] Speaker 3: 12 assists. Nah. Because. dog because he goes that.
[50:33] Speaker 2: Dog he's not them niggas ain't making shots I'm sorry
[50:37] Speaker 2: no not yet but what I'm saying is you niggas
[50:40] Speaker 2: ain't making shots I am not passing the ball no more.
[50:42] Speaker 4: I'm not as well it was balling right now I'm
[50:44] Speaker 4: gonna go dog you gotta.
[50:46] Speaker 2: He got the ball so you the two people who
[50:48] Speaker 2: got the ball is doing all the ball doing.
[50:50] Speaker 3: Good Well, here we go.
[50:53] Speaker 4: As a coach, you got to unlock Wiggins, dude. As
[50:57] Speaker 4: a coach, you got to unlock Bam. As a coach,
[51:00] Speaker 4: you got to find shots for your shooters, Clay and
[51:03] Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway. You do not want Tim Hardaway Jr. just
[51:07] Speaker 4: figuring out like, hey, man, I got to get some
[51:09] Speaker 4: shots just to get myself going. It should be opened
[51:14] Speaker 4: up and the responsibility for Wiggins and Bam is hard
[51:17] Speaker 4: to unlock because they got that Bam's just going to
[51:21] Speaker 4: get his 20. Bam's going to do work. Bam ain't
[51:24] Speaker 4: getting 20. He averaging 13. Bam got to average 25
[51:27] Speaker 4: and 6. Bam got to average 25, 6, 8 assists.
[51:32] Speaker 4: Giannis got to average 6, 8 assists. Davion Mitchell got
[51:35] Speaker 4: to average 6, 8 assists. And everybody else got to pass.
[51:38] Speaker 3: The ball around.
[51:39] Speaker 6: Like, I don't know. Somebody got to talk to Bam.
[51:43] Speaker 3: You got to run that offense. You got to run
[51:45] Speaker 3: the offense through Bam.
[51:47] Speaker 6: For sure.
[51:47] Speaker 3: Because Giannis does.
[51:49] Speaker 4: Not require an offense to run through him because he
[51:53] Speaker 4: doesn't need plays.
[51:56] Speaker 1: So Giannis shot under 50% one time last season, 36 games.
[52:00] Speaker 1: He's already done it once in three games this season.
[52:05] Speaker 3: Because they loading up, though. Not a big deal, but...
[52:07] Speaker 3: They loading up. Nigga had two shots. Then they got
[52:10] Speaker 3: the game.
[52:13] Speaker 2: Hey, man, the Sardom got it tonight.
[52:17] Speaker 3: This is my second year. Second year. Who's that?
[52:20] Speaker 2: We play in Portland, and Bonzi Wills was going at Antoine.
[52:25] Speaker 3: Bonzi scored, Antoine missed. Bonzi scored, Antoine missed. All right,
[52:29] Speaker 3: night over. We're not going this back and forth. We're
[52:33] Speaker 3: going to lose. You keep me out of here. No,
[52:36] Speaker 3: for sure.
[52:36] Speaker 6: No, for sure.
[52:37] Speaker 3: We'll have to get you something. I'll take care of you.
[52:39] Speaker 3: I used to have to tell people, hey, no, I
[52:43] Speaker 3: got you. Don't trip. Don't trip. Hey, Mus, Mus. Hey,
[52:46] Speaker 3: Earl Boykes, Earl was looking at Mus. Not tonight. He
[52:51] Speaker 3: took two shots that night. Not tonight. And Bonzi just
[52:53] Speaker 3: got the best of you tonight.
[52:54] Speaker 6: That's sick.
[52:55] Speaker 3: Nah, I'd be hot. Who won the game? Oh, they won.
[53:00] Speaker 3: Our best player was on the bench. Was it a
[53:05] Speaker 3: foul trouble or nothing?
[53:06] Speaker 6: Nah.
[53:07] Speaker 3: So. Nah, man. No, man. He just didn't have it.
[53:11] Speaker 3: He just didn't have it. He only had two attempts
[53:13] Speaker 3: to prove what he could do. Oh, no.
[53:15] Speaker 2: He was mad as hell, bro. Yeah, we got cussed
[53:18] Speaker 2: out that day. Heat 0-3 right now. Hand on the flame.
[53:22] Speaker 2: Heat are 0-3 right now. Who deserves the blame for
[53:25] Speaker 2: this 0-3 start?
[53:27] Speaker 3: Nobody. Giannis, Bam, front office. Nobody. Pat Riley, the godfather.
[53:30] Speaker 3: They was going to get off to a slow start.
[53:31] Speaker 3: The godfather. I mean, I'm going to just be honest.
[53:35] Speaker 3: Pat Riley.
[53:36] Speaker 2: Most of those teams, I got a bunch of new people, right?
[53:40] Speaker 2: There's an adjustment period. A big adjustment period. There's an
[53:44] Speaker 2: adjustment period. The teams that they've been together years... They
[53:49] Speaker 2: should be starting off a little bit better. So they
[53:53] Speaker 2: got to figure it out. That's what I said, like,
[53:55] Speaker 2: you know, when Miami got all the new guys, they
[53:59] Speaker 2: started off the season 8-8 and then went on a
[54:01] Speaker 2: 23-game winning streak.
[54:03] Speaker 3: Right? So once they.
[54:04] Speaker 2: Figure it out and they figure out what their lineup,
[54:06] Speaker 2: like it takes games to figure out what our lineup is.
[54:09] Speaker 3: Who's on that team, just to refresh our audience's memory? Oh, LeBron, D-Wade. Yeah.
[54:15] Speaker 3: Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh. Bibby was there too, right? Are
[54:19] Speaker 3: you getting that? Mike Bibby. Speaking of Mike.
[54:25] Speaker 2: So all they did was just figure out.
[54:28] Speaker 3: How they were going to put their team together. How
[54:30] Speaker 3: they were going to run it efficiently. Boom. Do we
[54:34] Speaker 3: see a comparable? No.
[54:38] Speaker 1: That was a different roster.
[54:41] Speaker 3: Nah, man. You can get FaceTime.
[54:46] Speaker 6: I talked to him this morning.
[54:47] Speaker 3: You going to fuck you up?
[54:49] Speaker 6: You going to fuck you up? You got to watch
[54:52] Speaker 6: your back?
[54:53] Speaker 3: You got to watch your back? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
[55:00] Speaker 1: Your family in Milwaukee, not the only people looking for you.
[55:03] Speaker 3: Your family in Milwaukee, not the only people looking for you. Just,
[55:06] Speaker 3: you got.
[55:07] Speaker 4: He just said, we're setting up the squad.
[55:11] Speaker 3: We set three rounds. Just big three. Just big three.
[55:14] Speaker 3: We're setting up the fight. Three rounds. I hope you
[55:17] Speaker 3: lift a lot of weights. I hope you lift a
[55:19] Speaker 3: lot of weights going into this.
[55:20] Speaker 1: Hey, Doug, we're setting up the fight. You said what
[55:22] Speaker 1: we said, and you said what you said.
[55:23] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. All right. I ain't worried about getting out of
[55:27] Speaker 3: the head. I ain't worried about getting out of the head.
[55:30] Speaker 3: You know he was a special agent. You know that's
[55:33] Speaker 3: a wildcat right there. I'm like, you know he's a
[55:35] Speaker 3: special agent, Mike. No, he ain't got to worry about
[55:37] Speaker 3: it like that.
[55:39] Speaker 6: He's all right.
[55:40] Speaker 3: No, no, no. I said, Mike, come on, man. Nick
[55:43] Speaker 3: want to get three rounds in. Y'all just sparred out. Nope.
[55:46] Speaker 3: Y'all just sparred out. Shout out to Team Don. Come on,
[55:50] Speaker 3: Bibby was like, man, where he at?
[55:52] Speaker 4: I said, we can get that off on Kik. Kik,
[55:56] Speaker 4: Mick Young, Bibby.
[55:59] Speaker 3: Aiden Ross, to put a pin on this here discussion.
[56:03] Speaker 2: Hey, man, the Knicks put a pin in that discussion.
[56:10] Speaker 3: Starting off 0-3. Okay. We're going to treat that. No, Josiah.
[56:14] Speaker 3: But they got the Mavs tonight, Gil.
[56:15] Speaker 2: We're going to treat them like last year, man.
[56:18] Speaker 3: They got the Mavs tonight at the crib. If they
[56:19] Speaker 3: do not win that game tonight. If they win the game,
[56:22] Speaker 3: if they win it, I don't care.
[56:24] Speaker 4: I think Miami is going to run off 10, 15
[56:26] Speaker 4: in a row.
[56:27] Speaker 3: At some point, we'll talk about it. They put a
[56:29] Speaker 3: pin in it.
[56:30] Speaker 6: Miami going to run off.
[56:31] Speaker 3: We don't care. Let's keep this thing moving. Darren, it
[56:34] Speaker 3: made me look bad. Keep this thing moving quickly.
[56:37] Speaker 1: We know about the Jalen Williams situation with the Thunder,
[56:39] Speaker 1: that devastating injury last night. Sam Preston, the Thunder, holding
[56:41] Speaker 1: a press conference today after our show ends to get
[56:44] Speaker 1: more information on Jalen Williams. So we're going to talk
[56:46] Speaker 1: J-Dub extensively tomorrow on the show, but want to send
[56:49] Speaker 1: our prayers out to Jalen Williams.
[56:50] Speaker 3: Definitely.
[56:51] Speaker 1: Obviously, that was a very, very tough one to watch. Yeah.
[56:56] Speaker 3: I can't see stuff. I watched it. It was traumatizing.
[57:00] Speaker 1: I only need to see it once, and I'm good
[57:02] Speaker 1: after that. But send our prayers out to Jalen Williams,
[57:04] Speaker 1: the Thunder. But let's keep this thing moving here. We
[57:07] Speaker 1: got a new and improved Mosey fans for y'all. Let's
[57:10] Speaker 1: see if it turns out the way. New and improved
[57:12] Speaker 1: Mosey fans. Much more interactive.

[57:34] Speaker 1: I know some of y'all from the chat.
[57:35] Speaker 6: What the fuck?
[57:36] Speaker 3: Good to see you guys here.
[57:37] Speaker 1: We got the virtual audience here on Most Fans. Some
[57:40] Speaker 1: figuring their camera angles out. Some a little too close.
[57:43] Speaker 1: Some a little too far from the camera. But what's
[57:47] Speaker 1: going on, everybody?
[57:48] Speaker 3: How y'all doing?
[57:49] Speaker 6: The bubble champion?

[57:57] Speaker 1: Shout out to our amazing crew. All right, so we
[57:59] Speaker 1: got a few questions in the chat. We're going to
[58:00] Speaker 1: start with Bossman615. Bossman, go ahead and ask Gills Arena
[58:04] Speaker 1: your question.
[58:08] Speaker 3: All right, so my question has nothing to do with
[58:10] Speaker 3: the Thunder. All right, so we're looking at Jalen Brown, too.
[58:15] Speaker 3: If you're going to be more like Greg Oden, or
[58:19] Speaker 3: if you're going to be able to put it together
[58:21] Speaker 3: like Greg Oden. You got to back up a little bit.
[58:26] Speaker 3: Your eye is talking to us. Only your eye is
[58:30] Speaker 3: talking to us.
[58:31] Speaker 4: I'm just looking at an eye, dog. I'm like, is
[58:35] Speaker 4: this dude a cyclops? Is the eye talking? Come on,
[58:38] Speaker 4: boss man. Back up, baby.
[58:41] Speaker 3: Boss man, what was your question one more time? Stay
[58:44] Speaker 3: right there. Stay right there and talk. Can you hear me? Yeah,
[58:48] Speaker 3: we got you. We can see you from here.
[58:53] Speaker 4: So, I was saying about Jalen Williams.
[58:54] Speaker 3: Like, unfortunately, he got injured.
[58:56] Speaker 6: So, I was saying... Is it.
[58:59] Speaker 3: More so Greg Oden or he had to figure it
[59:01] Speaker 3: out like Greg Oden did?
[59:04] Speaker 1: Jalen Williams? Is he more like Greg Oden or like,
[59:06] Speaker 1: I think... We don't know.
[59:07] Speaker 3: We got to find out what the injury is. is.
[59:10] Speaker 4: I mean, let's pray, man. Let's pray he don't be
[59:12] Speaker 4: either or and he can come back. It looked like
[59:16] Speaker 4: a break and it broke.
[59:17] Speaker 3: The wrong way. Because I didn't look at it. Which
[59:20] Speaker 3: leg was it? Jumping leg or the opposite? Left leg jumping.
[59:23] Speaker 3: But you know they jump off opposite.
[59:24] Speaker 4: Leg now, Gil. Everybody jumps off.
[59:27] Speaker 3: The opposite leg.
[59:28] Speaker 6: He went up one leg. You could get off balance.
[59:31] Speaker 3: It was his left leg? His left leg, I think. Oh, no,
[59:34] Speaker 3: I think. It was his left leg. Yeah, it was
[59:36] Speaker 3: his left leg. That motherfucker. I hope he figures it
[59:40] Speaker 3: out because he has a lot of talent.
[59:42] Speaker 6: But we got to see.
[59:43] Speaker 3: What we can do. Dang, I don't know. Hmm. We're
[59:48] Speaker 3: going to make some closed captions with his voice. We'll
[59:51] Speaker 3: get some prayers up. I don't know if he's on
[59:54] Speaker 3: the phone. That's why he probably went close so you
[59:56] Speaker 3: can hear him. No, he on the FaceTime. He just
[59:58] Speaker 3: do his eye.
[59:58] Speaker 6: He just do his eye. All right.
[1:00:01] Speaker 1: Appreciate you, Boss Man, for the question. We got a
[1:00:03] Speaker 1: question from Autist Hemp. Autist Hemp, what's up?
[1:00:05] Speaker 3: He like, yeah, I didn't even ask him my question.
[1:00:08] Speaker 6: You about to get mad?
[1:00:09] Speaker 3: Sorry, Boss Man. It was your eye, dog. It was
[1:00:13] Speaker 3: your eye threw us off. See you later. Don't let
[1:00:17] Speaker 3: them do that to you, boss. Don't let them do that.
[1:00:22] Speaker 3: Don't let them. Don't let them.
[1:00:25] Speaker 1: We are filling up the arena with our virtual crowd. So, Autism,

[1:02:18] Speaker 6: This whole thing, these sets. We need to set this
[1:02:21] Speaker 6: shit up.
[1:02:22] Speaker 4: That's our first time doing our virtual podcast.
[1:02:25] Speaker 3: This is too funny. Let's go back to artists him.
[1:02:30] Speaker 4: Let's go back to artists him. I'm in the basement.
[1:02:39] Speaker 5: We're looking at the wall.
[1:02:43] Speaker 3: We got to get it. We gave you another try, dog.
[1:02:47] Speaker 6: Look at Jay over the back.
[1:02:49] Speaker 3: Hey, Jay, watch Jay in the cut. Jay waiting his turn.
[1:02:53] Speaker 3: He actually sitting in the seat. So I'll read all
[1:02:57] Speaker 3: the questions.
[1:02:58] Speaker 1: Gil, you've managed your kids' development at a high level.
[1:03:00] Speaker 1: When building a youth sports and e-sports program, how critical
[1:03:03] Speaker 1: is specialized parent training to the child's actual success? And
[1:03:07] Speaker 1: how do you get parents bought into the infrastructure that
[1:03:10] Speaker 1: will go beyond the field and court?
[1:03:12] Speaker 3: That's a good-ass question.
[1:03:13] Speaker 2: You always need training outside of team practice. Team practice
[1:03:18] Speaker 2: is for the team success. So when you're talking about
[1:03:22] Speaker 2: individual training, do your homework on your trainers. Like, you know,
[1:03:30] Speaker 2: just because somebody said, oh, yeah, I only charge $ 25.
[1:03:32] Speaker 2: It's like, all right, who else you trained?
[1:03:35] Speaker 3: Where'd you play at? Like, I don't want a.
[1:03:37] Speaker 2: Dude that just looks online, look at a whole bunch
[1:03:41] Speaker 2: of plays, and then give it.
[1:03:43] Speaker 6: To your kids.
[1:03:44] Speaker 3: And that's what happened in basketball. A bunch of guys...
[1:03:47] Speaker 3: who played Park.
[1:03:49] Speaker 2: League maybe, maybe some overseas, I can make money because
[1:03:52] Speaker 2: I know everybody wants a trainer.
[1:03:54] Speaker 3: All these rich people want more trainers. Hey, I can
[1:03:56] Speaker 3: train you, kid. You know what I mean?
[1:03:57] Speaker 2: So it's like, go get you a trainer, invest in
[1:04:01] Speaker 2: a trainer one, and then invest in a shooting machine.
[1:04:04] Speaker 2: If you have space where you can get a shooting
[1:04:06] Speaker 2: machine that costs about $ 3, 500 to $ 5, 000, trust me, you're
[1:04:13] Speaker 2: going to need that child to be shooting a lot
[1:04:15] Speaker 2: of shots at an early age.
[1:04:17] Speaker 3: They'll put it into a system.
[1:04:19] Speaker 2: Like going to some of these coaches, if you actually
[1:04:20] Speaker 2: count and say, all right, how many shots my kid's taking?
[1:04:24] Speaker 2: When they're in groups of eight, ten, your child might
[1:04:27] Speaker 2: have got 50 shots that day.
[1:04:29] Speaker 3: For two hours. That's not enough. You can say, hey, listen,
[1:04:32] Speaker 3: you've been playing video games for an hour. Go out
[1:04:35] Speaker 3: there and take 100 shots. Right? Right.
[1:04:37] Speaker 2: 100 shots on a two-speed or a three-speed, that's only
[1:04:42] Speaker 2: 15 minutes at that.
[1:04:43] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fast. That's fast as hell. You got to
[1:04:45] Speaker 3: get 100 makes. You know what I mean? You took
[1:04:47] Speaker 3: 100 shots. All right, go back to play video games. Yep.
[1:04:49] Speaker 3: Two hours later, hey, give you some shots. Before you
[1:04:53] Speaker 3: know it, he's taking 300 shots, and it only took
[1:04:55] Speaker 3: him 45 minutes. Yep. Or even 300 makes. Yeah, just
[1:04:56] Speaker 3: put that into him and, like, really.
[1:04:57] Speaker 6: Develop the– That is true.
[1:05:06] Speaker 3: I'll say the fundamentals of just habits. Yeah.
[1:05:10] Speaker 2: Doing great habits, you know, making your bed, putting your
[1:05:13] Speaker 2: shoes up, doing your homework. Like, once you get a
[1:05:17] Speaker 2: lot of habits in a row, you become more successful.
[1:05:21] Speaker 3: I agree. That's a good one.
[1:05:24] Speaker 6: All right.
[1:05:25] Speaker 3: Thanks, Otis Hamm.
[1:05:26] Speaker 1: 20 Neutron. You got a question for us, 20 Neutron.
[1:05:30] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:05:31] Speaker 3: 20 Neutron? Okay. There he is.
[1:05:35] Speaker 4: How exciting would a Timberwolves 76ers final series be for
[1:05:40] Speaker 4: the NBA?
[1:05:44] Speaker 3: You can answer truthfully, Gil.
[1:05:47] Speaker 1: He's basically asking how exciting the finals are going to
[1:05:49] Speaker 1: be this season.
[1:05:51] Speaker 6: That's probably going to be the biggest finals.
[1:05:52] Speaker 3: Minnesota Lakers. Lakers Sixers would be bigger. Lakers Sixers.
[1:05:55] Speaker 4: Yeah, because it got history to it.
[1:05:59] Speaker 3: Oh, crazy, bro. It got history to it.
[1:06:01] Speaker 2: We got the number one or the number two market.
[1:06:06] Speaker 2: Playing against LeBron James. That is the biggest.
[1:06:13] Speaker 3: That's it. See, you get them spiderwebs on you, man.
[1:06:16] Speaker 6: You got Ant-Man, LeBron.
[1:06:18] Speaker 3: Walking in the spiderwebs. That would be good, though. That
[1:06:21] Speaker 3: would be huge. Ant-Man, LeBron, Maxi, LeBron. That's cracking.
[1:06:27] Speaker 2: That would be the league giving LeBron his fifth.
[1:06:30] Speaker 3: Man, look at my boy. Look at my boy Southern.
[1:06:33] Speaker 2: No, but I mean, like, but if you're talking about, like,
[1:06:35] Speaker 2: an ultimate, ultimate, like, matchup for the NBA the way
[1:06:40] Speaker 2: that the NBA is right now, it'd be Lakers, Philly.
[1:06:44] Speaker 6: New York, New York, L.A.
[1:06:46] Speaker 3: We got to work it through.
[1:06:48] Speaker 6: Hey, Southern, you got to back up.

[1:08:03] Speaker 6: No.
[1:08:05] Speaker 3: That ain't it. That ain't it.
[1:08:07] Speaker 2: No, it's just I don't think the NBA as a
[1:08:13] Speaker 2: whole is ready for certain things because the characters inside
[1:08:20] Speaker 2: the league.
[1:08:22] Speaker 3: They're not ready. They're not ready yet. Just imagine if

[1:08:32] Speaker 6: see that?
[1:08:32] Speaker 2: No, they'd be on there saying some shit that just
[1:08:35] Speaker 2: don't need to be said. And then you got a
[1:08:37] Speaker 2: whole community after you because they can't stop the nature
[1:08:41] Speaker 2: of what they say.
[1:08:43] Speaker 6: If you was raised by a single mother, you soft.
[1:08:48] Speaker 6: You're right. Right?
