Gil's Arena Reacts To Shai Gilgeous Alexander's HOSTILE Takeover In Boston as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the NBA MVP Favorite leading the Oklahoma City Thunder over the Boston Celtics on the road and leaving the reigning champs with a bad taste in their mouths as he took over the city with a genius marketing plan. Gil's Arena breaks down what this game means for both teams at the top of the NBA and give props to Shai & Converse for taking advantage of the MVP race with a viral statement. They then react to Mikal Bridges' stunning buzzer beater to carry the New York Knicks over the Portland Trailblazers and get real on how Mikal's disagreement with Coach Thibs over his minutes philosophy will influence the Knicks heading into the NBA Playoffs. Finally, they preview a very tough stretch coming up for the Los Angeles Lakers who play 6 games in 8 days and discuss how Luka Doncic will lead this team through this critical point in the season without LeBron James.

[3:27] Speaker 2: SGA and the Thunder pulled up to Boston, got a
[3:29] Speaker 2: big win over the Celtics. But can the Thunder beat

[3:34] Speaker 2: SGA's marketing team, Gil. You said they weren't doing enough.
[3:38] Speaker 2: They took over Boston after the game last night. Did
[3:41] Speaker 2: some elite-level trolling. We will talk about it on the show.
[3:43] Speaker 3: That was crazy.
[3:45] Speaker 2: After saying the Knicks starters are playing too many minutes,
[3:47] Speaker 2: Mikael Bridges stunned the Blazers with his game-winner in OT.
[3:51] Speaker 2: The Tibbs need to start relying more on his bench.
[3:53] Speaker 2: They telling you they tired, boss. And the Lakers are
[3:57] Speaker 2: in the midst of a tough stretch of games with
[3:59] Speaker 2: LeBron's sideline. Can Luka hold down the crown until King
[4:02] Speaker 2: James returns? But before we get into all that, as always,

[30:35] Speaker 2: were talking about their... Got close to some fisticuffs, so
[30:38] Speaker 2: let's talk about a situation that went down last night. Hey, NBA.
[30:44] Speaker 2: We just actually proved it. In real time, what did
[30:49] Speaker 2: we just prove?
[30:51] Speaker 3: What?
[30:52] Speaker 2: All-star weekend. Let the old heads go.
[30:55] Speaker 1: No, you put somebody out there one-on-one, they automatically go hard,
[30:59] Speaker 1: or they will be embarrassed. You put them out there one-on-one.
[31:04] Speaker 1: It's between me and you now.
[31:06] Speaker 2: And that's... And we all had two buckets, too.
[31:09] Speaker 1: Huh?
[31:09] Speaker 2: We playing hard and we old. Y'all had two. Y'all
[31:12] Speaker 2: had two. Shit. Ain't nobody wanted to lose. A retired... Shit.
[31:17] Speaker 2: One shot.
[31:18] Speaker 5: You want to get one shot?
[31:20] Speaker 2: A retired player's dunk ball game would be very, very entertaining.
[31:23] Speaker 2: Get the O-Heads out there. Put a million dollars on
[31:27] Speaker 2: the line. I can dunk on 10. It's just I
[31:30] Speaker 2: got to come down a little bit further. I owe
[31:31] Speaker 2: you 100, girl. You loophole me. I'm just saying, you know,
[31:33] Speaker 2: I can dunk on... I'm lying. I probably can't dunk
[31:36] Speaker 2: on 10. You probably need to be warmed up a
[31:38] Speaker 2: little bit. I'm going to bring my dad over here.
[31:39] Speaker 2: Y'all can have a dunk off.
[31:40] Speaker 3: Y'all should do the slam ball on the trampolines.
[31:43] Speaker 2: We did actually do slam ball in Vegas.
[31:45] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[31:46] Speaker 2: I don't like to come down. Like, going up is fine.
[31:51] Speaker 3: Even on the trampoline?
[31:52] Speaker 2: Coming down. Coming down. Problem for me. Especially if you
[31:55] Speaker 2: ain't did it in a while. All right, well, we
[31:59] Speaker 2: got a lot to discuss around the league. But as
[32:01] Speaker 2: you know, it is Thursday, so we take a little
[32:03] Speaker 2: break from our normal programming to watch these old men
[32:06] Speaker 2: go out there and get it. You on that V12? Okay,
[32:10] Speaker 2: I see you. You on that V12. I'm trying to
[32:12] Speaker 2: get a little... Go ahead. That growth hormone. Trying to go....
[32:19] Speaker 1: You feel me? About to go get sliced up in
[32:25] Speaker 1: a minute. Doc said, I can give you like a 14-pack.
[32:28] Speaker 1: Give it to me.
[32:29] Speaker 2: How much you call it?
[32:30] Speaker 3: 14-pack is crazy.
[32:31] Speaker 2: So, Rockets beat.
[32:32] Speaker 1: The Suns 111-104 last night, but let's talk about the
[32:34] Speaker 1: dust-up between Mason.
[32:35] Speaker 3: Plumlee and Steven Adams.
[32:45] Speaker 2: We've got the video. So with about three minutes left
[32:48] Speaker 2: in the second quarter, Adams and Plumlee were fighting for
[32:51] Speaker 2: rebounding position. Ended up just fighting instead.
[32:54] Speaker 3: Ooh.
[32:56] Speaker 2: Got him. Got him. Them two? Both players were ejected.
[33:00] Speaker 2: As you can see, Plumlee had the upper hand. That's
[33:03] Speaker 2: because Adams couldn't let him go. To the ground. Adams
[33:07] Speaker 2: couldn't let him go. We got the high angle. Oh,
[33:09] Speaker 2: let's take a look. Even Adam? Yeah, he had the
[33:11] Speaker 2: wrong angle. He had the wrong angle. When we had
[33:14] Speaker 2: the high ground, ooh, that sent him to the ground. Right?
[33:19] Speaker 2: Both players were ejected. Tony Brothers, the chief crew who
[33:22] Speaker 2: ejected them, said after the game, their aggressive actions were
[33:25] Speaker 2: considered a fight, and by rule, fighting technical fouls carry
[33:28] Speaker 2: a penalty of automatic ejection. Adam got a standing ovation
[33:31] Speaker 2: from Rockets fans as he left the floor. Not particularly
[33:34] Speaker 2: sure why, but kudos to them. Did Adams and Plumlee
[33:40] Speaker 2: take this altercation too far, or no? Is it good
[33:42] Speaker 2: to see? Do we need to bring fighting back to
[33:43] Speaker 2: the league like Joe Mazzulla said?
[33:46] Speaker 3: He said that. He did say that.
[33:48] Speaker 2: Wait, that's wrestling. They're wrestling. It's wrestling.
[33:51] Speaker 4: It's wrestling.
[33:52] Speaker 2: It's not wrestling. Is that considered an actual fight?
[33:56] Speaker 3: Steven Adams didn't look like he was even doing anything.
[33:58] Speaker 2: Don't you have to throw a punch for a fight? Yeah,
[34:00] Speaker 2: so that's a wrestle. It was some malarkey. It's white
[34:04] Speaker 2: people fight. That's a white person.
[34:05] Speaker 1: But they at least throw a punch. Ah, ah, throw
[34:10] Speaker 1: a motherfucker. I hope they don't get suspended, like any games.
[34:15] Speaker 1: Half a quarter or some shit.
[34:17] Speaker 2: Half a quarter. Yeah, half a quarter, and I pick
[34:19] Speaker 2: the quarter you want. You get suspended for that?
[34:23] Speaker 3: I don't think Steven Adams did anything.
[34:24] Speaker 2: Yeah, if they consider it a fire. They don't get
[34:26] Speaker 2: suspended for that. For that? Oh, they didn't? I mean,
[34:31] Speaker 2: the forearm to the, it depends on how they do it.
[34:33] Speaker 4: Adams was strong. I expected more from him.
[34:37] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[34:37] Speaker 4: I thought Adams was gonna pick him up by two
[34:39] Speaker 4: hands and just.
[34:41] Speaker 2: Did he grab him like this, or was it... I mean,
[34:44] Speaker 2: the other dude is seven foot, too. Plumlee's a wild...
[34:47] Speaker 2: And all three of his brothers are the same size.
[34:50] Speaker 2: That's a good man. That's a good fade. So, Steven
[34:52] Speaker 2: Adams listed at 6'11, 265 pounds. Mason Plumlee, 6'10, 254 pounds.
[34:56] Speaker 1: That's a big old wrestling match.
[35:00] Speaker 2: Cemetery Larry, who wins if we really let them get
[35:03] Speaker 2: to it?
[35:05] Speaker 3: Steven Adams.
[35:06] Speaker 2: I like Plumlee. You like Major Plumlee? He's athletic. Really?
[35:10] Speaker 2: He's athletic as fuck.
[35:11] Speaker 5: He's like little Blake Griffin.
[35:13] Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he was athletic.
[35:16] Speaker 4: Adams!
[35:16] Speaker 2: He was training in Chicago all summer. He's strong as hell.
[35:19] Speaker 2: Every summer.
[35:20] Speaker 4: Who?
[35:21] Speaker 2: Plumlee? Yeah, when he was at Duke, him and his brothers,
[35:24] Speaker 2: they was coming up there.
[35:26] Speaker 5: Stephen Adams is never going to stop fighting.
[35:30] Speaker 2: He's going to.
[35:31] Speaker 5: Yeah, he look like he take punches in the face. Yeah,
[35:33] Speaker 5: like he goes to eternity. Yeah, like you got to
[35:37] Speaker 5: kill him.
[35:38] Speaker 3: He's like a viking.
[35:39] Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, he's like a viking. His spirit
[35:42] Speaker 2: will haunt you.
[35:42] Speaker 5: His spirit will kill you.
[35:47] Speaker 2: So, just looking around, when you guys were hooping current players,
[35:50] Speaker 2: who was on your short list of guys you don't
[35:51] Speaker 2: want to fight in the league? Dallenberg. He was like
[36:00] Speaker 2: a black belt. I got in a fight with Adam.
[36:05] Speaker 2: You got in a fight? A fight. With Adam?
[36:07] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[36:07] Speaker 2: You swung? Yes. My knee. Took off. He took it.
[36:10] Speaker 2: He took it. Did you connect? You hit a bing bing?
[36:12] Speaker 2: And he just looked at me. I was like, damn. Damn.
[36:22] Speaker 2: I'm glad he got you. Bye-bye. Nice one. Nice. He
[36:27] Speaker 2: got in the middle. I was happy.
[36:28] Speaker 4: He kicked me out.
[36:32] Speaker 2: I don't know. Dallin Bear, Chris Mills. Of course, Shaq,
[36:35] Speaker 2: Chris Mills, yeah. Chris Mills on the list. Ooh, George
[36:39] Speaker 2: fucking McLeod, Danny Fortson. I remember that. That was a
[36:44] Speaker 2: good one. That was a good one. They was fighting
[36:46] Speaker 2: in Denver, and then they both got kicked out. I
[36:51] Speaker 2: remember I'm.
[36:51] Speaker 1: Walking to the locker room, and then George McLeod did
[36:55] Speaker 1: that shoulder grab from the back.
[36:57] Speaker 2: Like, ooh, huh? He's like, yeah, tell Danny I'm outside.
[37:00] Speaker 2: All right. Hey, Danny, that big one's outside, the one
[37:04] Speaker 2: you was fighting with. This man did this. He said,
[37:07] Speaker 2: hell yeah, I've been waiting for that motherfucker for years.
[37:10] Speaker 1: Rolled his sock down, razor blade.
[37:12] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's serious. Razor bladed his sock.
[37:16] Speaker 1: I can't play the whole game with the razor blade
[37:18] Speaker 1: because I was his enemy. Yeah, them two for sure.
[37:24] Speaker 2: I'm going to go James Johnson. Oh, he was in
[37:28] Speaker 2: with you? Yeah, black belt. Any current players you don't
[37:32] Speaker 2: want to smoke with, Gil? Current? Any current? Eastern Conference, perhaps?
[37:38] Speaker 2: Probably Giannis. Isaiah. Isaiah. B-Stew. Hey, B-Stew is... I seen
[37:46] Speaker 2: Jayden Brown.
[37:46] Speaker 1: He look like motherfucking Rambo 2, right?
[37:49] Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That black militant shit.
[37:51] Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
[37:52] Speaker 2: Smarter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Black strong. Strong black. Strong black man.
[37:56] Speaker 2: Strong black man.
[37:58] Speaker 4: Strong black man.
[37:58] Speaker 1: Like, he talking to you while you was.
[38:00] Speaker 2: See, I told you. I told you. I told you
[38:01] Speaker 2: to stop talking about me on the... Like, yeah, that, that, that, yeah. See,
[38:04] Speaker 2: now I got to teach you a lesson. I told you.
[38:06] Speaker 2: Stay true. Come on out here, boy.
[38:07] Speaker 4: I'm not going to teach him a lesson.
[38:08] Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll... Oh, my God. So, obviously, this incident last
[38:12] Speaker 2: night won't rank anywhere in the big fights in NBA history.
[38:15] Speaker 2: But what's the most memorable NBA fight? The one in, uh...
[38:19] Speaker 2: The one in, um... The one in Detroit. That was
[38:24] Speaker 2: more Royal Rumble. Stacking them was going crazy. Nah. Kobe,
[38:31] Speaker 2: it's a Kobe two-piece. Chris Charles, uh... Unfortunate. And unfortunate
[38:38] Speaker 2: for Chris Charles. Boop, boop. Yeah, he was out the
[38:41] Speaker 2: league right out the back. Ain't seen no next contract.
[38:45] Speaker 2: You can't hit Kobe. Not the young one either. So
[38:48] Speaker 2: I think he got traded, then he was gone. Kurt Rambis.
[38:51] Speaker 2: What about that one? Fight? Ah, it's the one nobody
[38:57] Speaker 2: ever heard about.
[38:58] Speaker 1: It was Golden State versus the Trailblazers. That was kind of,
[39:05] Speaker 1: it was kind of like the malice in the palace.
[39:08] Speaker 1: It was, it was my, it was my second year.
[39:11] Speaker 1: It was my second year. Chris Mills, a game winner.
[39:14] Speaker 1: Like there, if you look it up, it was, it
[39:16] Speaker 1: was Rasheed Wallace hits a game winner. It gets a
[39:20] Speaker 1: game winner. And then Chauncey and Chris Mills going for
[39:23] Speaker 1: the rebound. And then Chauncey, I mean, not Chauncey, Bonzi Wells.
[39:32] Speaker 1: Bonzi Wells, they're getting each other's face. And then he
[39:34] Speaker 1: hit him with that. All hell broke loose.
[39:36] Speaker 2: Like, it was... And was it on ESPN? Nah, it was.
[39:39] Speaker 1: I'm fucking going to say words. Like, I had to
[39:41] Speaker 1: pick up a chair against Ruben Patterson. Don't want to
[39:43] Speaker 1: fight them up.
[39:44] Speaker 2: Got in a... What's the name? Zach Randolph. Like, we... Like,
[39:46] Speaker 2: I had to pick... I had to pick up... It
[39:48] Speaker 2: was the Trailblazers. I had the Trail Gangsters. I had
[39:50] Speaker 2: to hook up a... What's the name? A chair.
[39:52] Speaker 1: So, Ruben Patterson would sneak Jason Richardson. So, we squaring
[39:55] Speaker 1: up on them two. And then the crowd got... Yeah,
[39:58] Speaker 1: the crowd got in it. Rasheed tried to run in
[40:00] Speaker 1: the crowd. They tripped him on the way up.
[40:01] Speaker 2: Bah, bah, bah, bah. Wait, what?
[40:05] Speaker 1: This is the infamous story of when the bus, they
[40:08] Speaker 1: blocked the bus from leaving.
[40:09] Speaker 2: Chris Mills wanted that smoke.
[40:11] Speaker 1: And then they went on a freeway and all his
[40:12] Speaker 1: boys stopped.
[40:14] Speaker 2: On the freeway.
[40:16] Speaker 1: Trench coats, black trench coats come out.
[40:17] Speaker 2: What's happening? Get off the bus. Oh, y'all never heard
[40:20] Speaker 2: of this? Just say, yeah.
[40:23] Speaker 1: It was cracker than that motherfucker.
[40:25] Speaker 2: Stop the bus on the freeway. They stopped the bus.
[40:29] Speaker 1: Because you know Golden State, you know, you leave, you
[40:31] Speaker 1: got to go on the ramp, ramp, and then you
[40:33] Speaker 1: got to come back down.
[40:33] Speaker 2: Yeah, so they beat the bus.
[40:36] Speaker 1: Once it got on the ramp, once it got on
[40:38] Speaker 1: the ramp, stopped in front, stopped in back.
[40:40] Speaker 2: So he couldn't back up nothing.
[40:42] Speaker 4: And I'm like, how'd it just kept going? Big-ass bus,
[40:45] Speaker 4: I'm running that over.
[40:47] Speaker 2: Right, I'm running that over. They said, more cheeks.
[40:50] Speaker 1: They said, motherfuckers knocking on the window, more cheeks.
[40:53] Speaker 2: Looking back there. Hey, Sobanzi, what you gonna do?
[40:56] Speaker 1: Hey, Sean, you know niggas in the back talking shit.

[41:02] Speaker 2: They said, Sobanzi, what you gonna do? Yeah.
[41:09] Speaker 4: That was good.
[41:10] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[41:11] Speaker 4: So you felt you had to pick up a chair
[41:12] Speaker 4: because it was a lot of commotion?
[41:14] Speaker 2: No, like, you know when motherfuckers are swinging. You know
[41:17] Speaker 2: what I mean?
[41:18] Speaker 4: No, I just want to know your mentality of picking
[41:20] Speaker 4: up a chair.
[41:20] Speaker 2: Like, what was you just feeling? No, I'm just chilling.
[41:23] Speaker 2: It's a lot of shit going on over there. I'm
[41:25] Speaker 2: just chilling.
[41:26] Speaker 1: And then Jay, you know how Jay Rich is just
[41:28] Speaker 1: chilling like.
[41:29] Speaker 2: This, too? We just watching.
[41:30] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[41:30] Speaker 1: And then, you know, Ruben Parson, you know, motherfucker, you
[41:32] Speaker 1: know a motherfucker who wants some action. Yeah. He's just
[41:35] Speaker 1: looking and just, ah, I'm like, wait a minute. And
[41:38] Speaker 1: I'm looking at him, looking at Jay Rich, like waiting
[41:40] Speaker 1: for Jay Rich to look and like, yeah, you want
[41:42] Speaker 1: to do this?
[41:42] Speaker 2: Like, wait, pick it up. Hold on, dog. Nah, he's
[41:45] Speaker 2: just not going.
[41:46] Speaker 5: He ain't going to hit me, though.
[41:48] Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not, we're going 2-1 you. He stood
[41:52] Speaker 1: down and went somewhere.
[41:53] Speaker 5: Else, but he was looking for a motherfucker to look
[41:55] Speaker 5: at him, too.
[41:56] Speaker 2: Don't look him directly in his eyes. Don't look him
[41:58] Speaker 2: directly in his eyes, god damn it. They're at the concrete.
[42:01] Speaker 2: All right, well, let's keep this thing moving. There's been
[42:06] Speaker 2: a lot of conversation about the Knicks' minutes this season,
[42:08] Speaker 2: and that conversation continued ahead of Wednesday's game against the Blazers.
[42:12] Speaker 2: Mikael Bridges, who has never missed a single game in
[42:15] Speaker 2: his 539-game NBA career, said he spoke to Knicks head
[42:17] Speaker 2: coach Tom Thibodeau about giving the bench a chance to
[42:20] Speaker 2: play more minutes. This, of course, comes after Jalen Brunson
[42:23] Speaker 2: was injured last week in an overtime loss against the Lakers.
[42:26] Speaker 2: Some of us were in the building to see it.
[42:27] Speaker 2: It was beautiful. Here's what Bridges said about the heavy
[42:29] Speaker 2: minutes load before playing another overtime game against Portland on Wednesday.
[42:34] Speaker 2: He said, quote, sometimes it's not fun on the body,
[42:37] Speaker 2: but you want that as a coach. And also talk
[42:39] Speaker 2: to him a little bit, knowing that we've got a
[42:41] Speaker 2: good enough team where our bench guys can come in
[42:43] Speaker 2: and we don't need to play 48 minutes. We've got
[42:45] Speaker 2: a lot of good guys on this team that can
[42:47] Speaker 2: take away minutes, which helps the defense, helps the offense,
[42:50] Speaker 2: helps tired bodies being out there and giving up all
[42:53] Speaker 2: these points. It just helps keeping fresh bodies out there.
[42:57] Speaker 2: So when asked about Bridges' comments, Coach Tibbs was not thrilled,
[43:01] Speaker 2: defended his philosophy, saying, quote, We never had a conversation
[43:05] Speaker 2: about it. The facts are the facts. Jalen is 20th
[43:08] Speaker 2: or 21st in average minutes. Cat is below that. Your
[43:11] Speaker 2: wings play more. They're matched up against primary players. Tibbs,
[43:14] Speaker 2: you know, he going to work you. Why ain't that
[43:17] Speaker 2: pick a swinging boy? The wings definitely play more. As
[43:22] Speaker 2: Bridges Josh Hart are the top two leaders in minutes
[43:25] Speaker 2: played this season. After all that, the Knicks went into
[43:28] Speaker 2: Portland where they'd end up down two in overtime with
[43:30] Speaker 2: a chance to win the game. and it was Bridges
[43:32] Speaker 2: who would have the chance to send the Knicks home happy.
[43:35] Speaker 2: Here's a shot from the Knicks broadcast, followed by the
[43:38] Speaker 2: perspective of the Blazers broadcast. Bridges to inbound. Knicks break.
[43:41] Speaker 2: Hart gets it. Right back to Bridges. Bridges puts up
[43:43] Speaker 2: a throw. Five, five. The kill. Bridges wins it at
[43:45] Speaker 2: the buzzer. Yeah, we were watching this on playback. He
[43:53] Speaker 2: looked fresh in the mouth. Look at me. He looked fresh.
[43:55] Speaker 2: He was breathing mighty hard after it was off. Here's
[43:59] Speaker 2: the Blazers. Off to Bridges. Stops. Mm. You said a
[44:04] Speaker 2: travel swaggy? You think so? You gotta be a bad rep.
[44:11] Speaker 3: I'm understanding how these teams are defending these out-of-bounds plays.
[44:15] Speaker 2: That's it. P.J. Tucker, still get in the bag.
[44:17] Speaker 3: Why are you on the ball?
[44:20] Speaker 1: Even just the young, they switched for the run-up. That's
[44:23] Speaker 1: a guard supposed to be running up. Just in case,
[44:25] Speaker 1: trap the ball, make him throw it back to the bag.
[44:29] Speaker 2: It's a dumb play.
[44:30] Speaker 3: It's two in a row we've seen of like, what
[44:32] Speaker 3: the fuck?
[44:32] Speaker 2: What are y'all doing?
[44:35] Speaker 3: Great shot, though. Great shot.
[44:37] Speaker 2: Fire. It was a fire shot. So, despite the public
[44:40] Speaker 2: disagreement with the coach earlier in the day, Bridges scored
[44:43] Speaker 2: a game-high 33 points in 41 minutes, nailed his first
[44:46] Speaker 2: career game-winning buzzer beater to lift the Knicks to a W. So,
[44:49] Speaker 2: how big of a deal is this disagreement on minutes
[44:52] Speaker 2: between Mikael Bridges and Tibbs? It'd be funny if Tiff
[44:56] Speaker 2: took his ass out for a little time. For real? Yeah,
[44:59] Speaker 2: I'm playing you too many minutes.
[45:00] Speaker 4: Man, I was just about to say that.
[45:02] Speaker 1: I didn't know, to be honest, I didn't know that
[45:04] Speaker 1: was an actual thing. I've never heard anybody complain about
[45:11] Speaker 1: more minutes. I've heard motherfuckers complain about, hey, I need
[45:15] Speaker 1: more minutes, not give me less minutes.
[45:17] Speaker 2: For real.
[45:22] Speaker 3: Because he never said, I need... He was kind of
[45:25] Speaker 3: saying he wants the bench guys to play more because
[45:27] Speaker 3: I think long term he understands that they're going to
[45:29] Speaker 3: be important in the playoffs.
[45:31] Speaker 4: But... Who?
[45:33] Speaker 2: Who?
[45:34] Speaker 3: Their bench?
[45:34] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[45:35] Speaker 3: I mean, because he didn't say, I'm tired. He kind
[45:37] Speaker 3: of made it very generalized. So I don't even know
[45:39] Speaker 3: if he was specifically talking about.
[45:41] Speaker 2: Himself.
[45:42] Speaker 3: My minutes.
[45:43] Speaker 2: So I don't... He's won in the league, right?
[45:45] Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know. Why didn't he come out
[45:47] Speaker 3: and just say, I want less minutes? He made it
[45:49] Speaker 3: a very generalized statement.
[45:50] Speaker 2: Right.
[45:51] Speaker 6: I mean, people who play for Tibbs have said the overload,
[45:55] Speaker 6: it kills them.
[45:56] Speaker 2: Do they practice too? Hell yeah.
[45:59] Speaker 6: No, listen, everybody that plays for the Knicks, you have
[46:02] Speaker 6: to practice.
[46:03] Speaker 2: Oh, so that's the overload. The media's in there every day.
[46:05] Speaker 2: It ain't no off day.
[46:06] Speaker 6: So he in there overloading them.
[46:09] Speaker 2: Same thing that happened in Chicago.
[46:11] Speaker 1: We was playing 43 minutes a game back then.
[46:15] Speaker 2: It's the practices, bro. If you're practicing also... That big?
[46:23] Speaker 2: Everybody who's played for Tim said that.
[46:24] Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out who's going to bring on
[46:27] Speaker 1: the bench. What bench do you actually have that's going
[46:30] Speaker 1: to soak up these minutes?
[46:33] Speaker 2: Soak them up. Who's complaining? Probably the players.
[46:37] Speaker 1: No.
[46:38] Speaker 2: Probably him, Josh Hart? One guy. The guy that ain't
[46:42] Speaker 2: been there before. Who? Nick the new guy, if you will. Cap?
[46:46] Speaker 2: Mikel Bridges? Or Cap? No, Mikel.
[46:49] Speaker 1: Oh.
[46:49] Speaker 3: Because no one else has said anything.
[46:52] Speaker 2: Mikel ain't used to this.
[46:53] Speaker 5: He ain't used to seeing a guy that's good enough
[46:56] Speaker 5: sit there and he got to play all these minutes.
[46:58] Speaker 5: He got to guard for real. And it's a standard
[47:01] Speaker 5: and there's pressure.
[47:02] Speaker 2: On you now.
[47:03] Speaker 5: And you got to exert all that energy and save
[47:06] Speaker 5: certain energy.
[47:07] Speaker 2: It's tough. It's an adjustment.
[47:09] Speaker 5: You damn sure don't hear Josh Hart complaining about that shit.
[47:13] Speaker 5: So I think right now, for him to come back
[47:15] Speaker 5: and know that he had to do that. There were
[47:17] Speaker 5: spurts during the game last night where he was tired.
[47:20] Speaker 5: He had like three straight turnovers. And the commentator's like,
[47:24] Speaker 5: he looks tired.
[47:26] Speaker 2: You could tell.
[47:26] Speaker 5: That was what the comment was about. He was turning
[47:29] Speaker 5: the ball over and could just literally turn it over
[47:32] Speaker 5: and not worry about it being subbed out. That's the
[47:36] Speaker 5: accountability thing for him, I think. In his mind is,
[47:39] Speaker 5: when I'm tired, I turn the ball over. want to
[47:42] Speaker 5: come out, but you don't trust me or you don't
[47:44] Speaker 5: trust my teammates.
[47:46] Speaker 2: So you don't think nobody else is saying, complaining about anything? Nah.
[47:49] Speaker 2: So he's the only one in there saying, hey, man,
[47:51] Speaker 2: we just... Everybody else is... Somebody else is saying... I've
[47:55] Speaker 2: heard that from other players at playoffs, too.
[47:57] Speaker 5: Probably like Cameron Payne probably saying.
[48:00] Speaker 4: Nah, this ain't no starter.
[48:03] Speaker 3: It could be the bench guy saying, like, damn, I
[48:06] Speaker 3: wish we was playing more.
[48:07] Speaker 4: Brunson said something, too, right?
[48:09] Speaker 2: In the playoffs? Last year?
[48:11] Speaker 5: They just were short. This is the thing. If your
[48:14] Speaker 5: bench guys took y'all to the playoffs last year, think
[48:17] Speaker 5: about how your bench guys feel this year if they're
[48:19] Speaker 5: not getting enough time to get you there this year.
[48:22] Speaker 2: Those bench guys is gone. One guy was gone. Yeah,
[48:25] Speaker 2: and one had to become a starter. Who was that?
[48:30] Speaker 2: What's the center name? McBride was one of the men.
[48:32] Speaker 2: Mitchell Robertson. McBride was one of them. Hartenstein? Yeah, McBride. Obviously,
[48:39] Speaker 2: now that Jalen Brunson's been out, he's been shifted to
[48:41] Speaker 2: the starting lineup. I do agree with you. The kids
[48:44] Speaker 2: do do that. Josh Hart, I think, a stretch last year,
[48:46] Speaker 2: he played 10 straight quarters without subbing. I was averaging
[48:48] Speaker 2: like 48 minutes per game over a stretch, but he said,
[48:50] Speaker 2: I'm cool with it. Like, shit, I like this. Because
[48:52] Speaker 2: it's needed. Yeah.
[48:53] Speaker 5: You know, but when it's not needed, it's a one thing.
[48:55] Speaker 3: Right, that's where the problems are.
[48:57] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[48:57] Speaker 3: People have with that style of coaching. You up 20.
[49:00] Speaker 2: You can tell he's stubborn.
[49:01] Speaker 3: You can give them a little break.
[49:02] Speaker 2: Yeah, he's stubborn as hell. But is he going to
[49:05] Speaker 2: have them?
[49:06] Speaker 1: So Cameron, I mean, the only person who can play
[49:08] Speaker 1: for them is Cameron Payne, Shamitz, Landry Shamitz.
[49:13] Speaker 2: Play for them? As who we subbing in? Shamitz. What? Shamitz?
[49:17] Speaker 1: That man is Dan Vincenzo. Dan Vincenzo. said that's who
[49:20] Speaker 1: we gonna play 30 minutes a game.
[49:23] Speaker 2: No. They don't have anybody. This fool's gold. But that's
[49:27] Speaker 2: what he said. You overloaded me, so we're not going
[49:29] Speaker 2: to be shit for the playoffs. Just give me a breather.
[49:33] Speaker 5: Give me a breather where it don't feel like I'm
[49:35] Speaker 5: getting a breather. Give me a breather where my guy,
[49:39] Speaker 5: the guy who's subbing for me, gets a chance to
[49:41] Speaker 5: fucking play.
[49:42] Speaker 2: He gets a chance to show out.
[49:44] Speaker 5: If I play my heart out and I sub out
[49:45] Speaker 5: the game, I sub myself out, man, you sub me
[49:48] Speaker 5: in when you feel like I'm I'm ready to come in,
[49:51] Speaker 5: but if a dude needs a chance, give him a chance.
[49:53] Speaker 2: I think playoff mentality, right? I play the whole game,
[49:55] Speaker 2: do whatever you need me to do. Regular season, this stretch,
[49:59] Speaker 2: 82 games. We're good in third. I got to tell you,
[50:02] Speaker 2: if I get subbed out, we have a problem. I'm sorry.
[50:07] Speaker 1: I'm in condition, so you sub me out, I got
[50:10] Speaker 1: a problem, man.
[50:11] Speaker 2: That's crazy. Bridges also averaging 38 minutes per game this year,
[50:14] Speaker 2: most in his career. Three more minutes than he was
[50:17] Speaker 2: playing last year in Brooklyn. Three more minutes. 38 minutes.
[50:19] Speaker 2: 38 minutes. What do you do with 38 minutes? He's
[50:23] Speaker 2: averaging 18. That makes sense. 18, four assists. He got
[50:27] Speaker 2: the guard, dog. He ain't trying to average. He ain't
[50:29] Speaker 2: trying to average 30. He got to play defense. He
[50:31] Speaker 2: got to play defense. He got to play both ends.
[50:33] Speaker 2: He got to break both ends. He got to break
[50:37] Speaker 2: presses and shit. Back then, presses, you pressed. You would
[50:40] Speaker 2: be tired, too, if you played for Tibbs. He ain't
[50:42] Speaker 2: got to practice. I mean, he ain't got to... Pick
[50:44] Speaker 2: up full court? Pick up full court? You got to
[50:48] Speaker 2: pick me up full court?
[50:50] Speaker 1: You got to run through the goddamn Princeton office, run
[50:54] Speaker 1: up and down the Princeton office, back screens, western end screens.
[50:57] Speaker 1: Get your ass on the goddamn treadmill.
[51:01] Speaker 2: I'm not rolling. Get out of here with that. He
[51:04] Speaker 2: guarding the best player.
[51:06] Speaker 1: If you used to playing 30-something minutes, cool. You conditioned
[51:09] Speaker 1: for that. If you want to get to the next
[51:11] Speaker 1: level where they got to play you fucking 40-something minutes,
[51:14] Speaker 1: your condition level has to go up.
[51:15] Speaker 6: You don't think his condition level is up? They in
[51:17] Speaker 6: the gym every day. They practice every day.
[51:19] Speaker 2: He hasn't missed a game in his career. You got
[51:20] Speaker 2: to practice every day. You ain't missed a game. I
[51:25] Speaker 2: didn't say nothing about no motherfucking point. You said 30 points.
[51:27] Speaker 2: You said you're not averaging 30 points.
[51:29] Speaker 1: You're not averaging 30 points. How much effort do you
[51:32] Speaker 1: need to average 30 points?
[51:33] Speaker 2: Have you ever guarded the best player on anything? Every night?
[51:36] Speaker 1: No, no, I've never had to. The best player in
[51:38] Speaker 1: my position wasn't every night. I was the best player
[51:41] Speaker 1: in my position.
[51:43] Speaker 2: Most of the nights.
[51:44] Speaker 1: So they had to put great defense on me and
[51:46] Speaker 1: trap me.
[51:46] Speaker 2: Yes. And what that gets you? Iverson.
[51:50] Speaker 7: What did Iverson?
[51:51] Speaker 2: You're talking about team shit. We're talking about individual. Is
[51:54] Speaker 2: his individual condition ready for this? But this is for
[51:58] Speaker 2: the team, though.
[51:58] Speaker 3: Yeah, he said his body is tired.
[52:00] Speaker 2: The Knicks are in third. 41, 40, 42, 43.
[52:04] Speaker 1: 42, 42, 42, 43, 42, 42, 42, 41. We're talking
[52:11] Speaker 1: about motherfucking elite people who knows what it takes. They
[52:16] Speaker 1: know what they got to do every night. And we're
[52:19] Speaker 1: not talking about AI who's sitting there.
[52:21] Speaker 2: He's running up and down, running full court, putting his body...
[52:24] Speaker 2: On offense. And defense, too. He left the league in steals. Like,
[52:27] Speaker 2: what are we talking about? I'm sorry. Yes. He's running.
[52:32] Speaker 2: You want me to see who runs more miles? Him or...
[52:35] Speaker 2: What's the name? You want to do that? Who runs
[52:37] Speaker 2: more miles? Him? Or Bridges? Who you think? Okay. That's
[52:43] Speaker 2: what they got. That's no former key. How do they know, though? Huh?
[52:47] Speaker 2: How do they know? Somebody just... Yes, they got... But
[52:50] Speaker 2: do they count the walk to the locker room and
[52:52] Speaker 2: the walk back to... I'm curious. How do they tabulate
[52:55] Speaker 2: all that? Hey, I didn't practice, so... I know, yeah.
[52:57] Speaker 2: You're smart.
[52:57] Speaker 3: I mean, I think his.
[52:58] Speaker 2: I didn't practice.
[52:59] Speaker 3: His complaints are valid, but... As a player, I'm like,
[53:04] Speaker 3: I would never complain about playing two.
[53:06] Speaker 2: I mean, he's playing most minutes in the league. He
[53:07] Speaker 2: don't miss games, so we can't say he don't take
[53:09] Speaker 2: care of his body. He's not ready to go. I
[53:11] Speaker 2: think that's the bigger point. It's one thing if it's
[53:13] Speaker 2: somebody on the team who ain't playing that much.
[53:15] Speaker 3: I do generally think he wants his bench to play
[53:17] Speaker 3: because he knows that it's playoffs. He's thinking bigger picture.
[53:21] Speaker 3: I don't think it's about him, honestly. I think he's
[53:24] Speaker 3: thinking bigger picture. Playoffs.
[53:27] Speaker 2: They can't afford.
[53:27] Speaker 3: They're going to crash out like they always do.
[53:29] Speaker 2: But they can't afford. They're in third. They're good.
[53:32] Speaker 1: Right now, so I think this is a problem where
[53:34] Speaker 1: he wouldn't understand, but I'm pretty sure he does, but
[53:38] Speaker 1: it's never been said. He's a third option, one option.
[53:45] Speaker 1: It's a rare thing where you're a third option when
[53:47] Speaker 1: the starter's here, right? So Brunson is the one option, right?
[53:51] Speaker 1: If he's gone, Bridges don't go to the second option.
[53:55] Speaker 1: He goes to the one option. So he has to
[53:57] Speaker 1: take on the responsibility of Brunson. Cat is a second option,
[54:03] Speaker 1: no matter what. So Bridges go from three to one. Not, not,
[54:08] Speaker 1: it doesn't go two to one. Cat is not the
[54:11] Speaker 1: number one option when Brunson's gone because he can't create
[54:14] Speaker 1: his own shot anymore. He doesn't play in a post
[54:17] Speaker 1: where we pass him the post and do all this.
[54:19] Speaker 1: He's a spot-up shooter now. So that means someone has
[54:21] Speaker 1: to create offense. That's where Mikael Bridges has to step
[54:24] Speaker 1: into the one.
[54:24] Speaker 2: Wait, hold on. That's where the Quran came in. Remember?
[54:28] Speaker 2: Antoine was the second option when I'm there. When I leave,
[54:31] Speaker 2: who became the number one option?
[54:35] Speaker 1: He goes from third option to one option because he
[54:37] Speaker 1: can create his own shot.
[54:38] Speaker 2: Cat can create his own shot. Not anymore. Not anymore?
[54:42] Speaker 2: They don't put him in a post anymore? Man, Cat's
[54:45] Speaker 2: been going crazy. He's just in the corner waiting for
[54:48] Speaker 2: the ball to come. He's not in the spot. He's
[54:50] Speaker 2: not a corner.
[54:51] Speaker 1: How many shots did Cat take last night with Brunton off?
[54:54] Speaker 1: Who took the most shots? Just shot attempts. Let me
[54:58] Speaker 1: look right here. I got you. It goes from Bridges
[55:02] Speaker 1: took 21, OG took.
[55:04] Speaker 2: 20, Cat took 12. OG took 20, Cat took 12.
[55:07] Speaker 2: He don't move.
[55:09] Speaker 4: But how much Cat average?
[55:10] Speaker 2: He's an all-star.
[55:11] Speaker 4: Cat was all this shit off of just catch and shoot.
[55:13] Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? He's the second option.
[55:15] Speaker 1: When Brunson's there, Brunson's focusing on Cat. When Cat is gone,
[55:19] Speaker 1: someone has to be Brunson for Cat to give the
[55:21] Speaker 1: ball to Cat.
[55:24] Speaker 2: Cat averaging 24 and 13. See Cemetery Larry with his
[55:27] Speaker 2: hands up. You know you can just interject whenever you want.
[55:30] Speaker 2: But I appreciate you. You know I'm a Knicks fan.
[55:33] Speaker 3: This is the respectful side of you.
[55:34] Speaker 2: You are a resident New York Knicks fan on this couch.
[55:36] Speaker 5: You know I watch the Knicks. Yeah, Cat definitely gets
[55:40] Speaker 5: the ball in the post. They definitely go through him.
[55:43] Speaker 2: When what? When Brunson's out? When he's in the game. No,
[55:48] Speaker 2: when Brunson's out. This is a conversation where....
[55:53] Speaker 1: If Brunson's there, it's one, two, three, four. When Brunson's gone,
[55:58] Speaker 1: it doesn't go, it doesn't move down like that. It
[56:00] Speaker 1: actually skips.
[56:01] Speaker 2: It skips? It skips.
[56:03] Speaker 5: Bro, I didn't get to land, but yeah. Cat definitely
[56:11] Speaker 5: gets the ball in the post. He definitely goes through
[56:14] Speaker 5: him to make decisions, whether it's face.
[56:16] Speaker 2: Up or behind. Back to the basket.
[56:18] Speaker 5: Even last night, he didn't get a lot of touches.
[56:20] Speaker 5: He was doing a lot. He was doing a lot
[56:22] Speaker 5: of other shit that he was trying to do, but
[56:23] Speaker 5: it's just a bad game, I think, overall.
[56:25] Speaker 2: I didn't like the game at all last night. So
[56:28] Speaker 2: he didn't get in the post? The number one option
[56:29] Speaker 2: he didn't get in?
[56:30] Speaker 5: No, he got in the post. He just didn't execute
[56:32] Speaker 5: when he was down there.
[56:32] Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like when Brunson's out, Bridges does become, like,
[56:37] Speaker 3: the facilitator. I think that's, like, I guess number one
[56:40] Speaker 3: option is probably not the right thing, but... He's the
[56:44] Speaker 3: one making all the passes now. He's playing all the minutes.
[56:46] Speaker 3: He's guarding the best player. He's like the more impactful
[56:49] Speaker 3: one in Jalen's absence, I think. I think Cat is
[56:51] Speaker 3: just consistent. He's been consistent.
[56:53] Speaker 2: I'll tell you what happens.
[56:54] Speaker 5: The only thing that happens is they go into free game.
[56:57] Speaker 2: Three ball. Drive and cut. That's it.
[57:00] Speaker 5: That's why it looks that way, because he can be
[57:02] Speaker 5: aggressive in open format. But OG, McBride, they all love
[57:07] Speaker 5: that style when... Brunson is not playing because they can
[57:10] Speaker 5: play like that.
[57:11] Speaker 2: But Cat is still there.
[57:13] Speaker 3: Yeah, Cat doesn't move.
[57:15] Speaker 5: Cat is doing the pick and pops, and he's doing
[57:17] Speaker 5: the rolls, and he's getting the isos to get them
[57:20] Speaker 5: the ball and the positions to do that. From what
[57:23] Speaker 5: I see, I like the way, like I said, I
[57:24] Speaker 5: didn't like a lot of the energy that they came
[57:27] Speaker 5: into after the All-Star break. I didn't like the energy,
[57:31] Speaker 5: but they're still in three. He had a bad game with.
[57:33] Speaker 2: Eight or 12.
[57:35] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a bad game. Is that a bad game?
[57:37] Speaker 3: You didn't think he was aggressive?
[57:39] Speaker 2: I'm just speaking differently. Yeah, he was just a bad game.
[57:43] Speaker 2: I watched the game. I mean, you could go 8
[57:45] Speaker 2: for 12.
[57:45] Speaker 1: We had a team that did that. If I'm on
[57:49] Speaker 1: a team, I have a style that I play. My
[57:52] Speaker 1: style that I play is pick and roll Antoine. So
[57:55] Speaker 1: Antoine is the second option that I'm passing to.
[57:59] Speaker 2: When I'm gone.
[58:01] Speaker 1: Antoine doesn't become the first option. Karan is the ISO player.
[58:05] Speaker 1: He jumps that spot. Nigga's the new leader in town.
[58:09] Speaker 1: And then he goes, oh, this is.
[58:11] Speaker 2: It's kind of like... That's not the case with the Knicks.
[58:13] Speaker 2: I'm telling you. It's kind of like... There's no way.
[58:15] Speaker 2: I know there's no way, but I get no way,
[58:17] Speaker 2: but it is.
[58:18] Speaker 4: It's like having a substitute teacher with Bronson going, you're
[58:21] Speaker 4: playing free. You get more shots. Of course, this is
[58:24] Speaker 4: my time to get more shots than catch. But he
[58:26] Speaker 4: don't get more shots than Cat on the daily, I
[58:28] Speaker 4: don't think.
[58:28] Speaker 1: When Brunson's gone, I'm talking about when Brunson is there,
[58:32] Speaker 1: we know who Brunson's passing the ball to. We know
[58:35] Speaker 1: who he's looking for.
[58:37] Speaker 2: How many games have they played without Brunson this year?
[58:41] Speaker 2: Let me find that out so we can see the...
[58:43] Speaker 2: We're pulling it up, obviously.
[58:48] Speaker 4: You ain't seen Cat take it off the dribble and dunk.
[58:51] Speaker 2: Same thing with Sacramento, right? The number one option.
[58:55] Speaker 1: was young fella, Fox, and then you had Sabonis, and then, um.
[59:02] Speaker 2: Damar. Damar.
[59:04] Speaker 1: When he moves out the way, Fox, DeMar goes from
[59:07] Speaker 1: three to one.
[59:09] Speaker 2: So Brunson makes three to one without Brunson this year.
[59:12] Speaker 2: Two to one in this current stretch. And how many
[59:15] Speaker 2: shots the cat is averaging?
[59:17] Speaker 3: Yesterday was his lowest, I think.
[59:19] Speaker 1: How many shots versus how many shots this... Number one player, go.
[59:24] Speaker 1: It's a thing, just people don't pay attention to it.
[59:26] Speaker 2: It is a thing.
[59:27] Speaker 4: Because he probably creates better, so he's more of a creator.
[59:31] Speaker 2: He creates for himself. Remember, he's a corner dude. He's
[59:34] Speaker 2: more of a creator, yeah.
[59:36] Speaker 4: But to say Cat can't create is.
[59:37] Speaker 2: How about this?
[59:39] Speaker 1: When you became the two when I left, if Caron left,
[59:47] Speaker 1: who now became the number one option?
[59:49] Speaker 2: You or Antoine? Antoine. Okay, y'all niggas with this AI.
[59:53] Speaker 2: I get it. I know what you're talking about.
[59:56] Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying, because you're the creator.
[59:59] Speaker 2: So you gotta... And better than Kat. In games without Brunson,
[1:00:03] Speaker 2: Towns has averaged 24.1 points per game with a field
[1:00:06] Speaker 2: goal percentage of 53%. This is coming from Chad GPT.
[1:00:09] Speaker 2: But Carlton Towns has been the primary offensive leader for
[1:00:12] Speaker 2: the New York Knicks, according to AI. Now, how many
[1:00:14] Speaker 2: shots did.
[1:00:15] Speaker 3: Thanks, Chad GPT.
[1:00:17] Speaker 2: That is not real.
[1:00:18] Speaker 3: That's actually not real.
[1:00:18] Speaker 2: How many shots... How many shots did Mikael shoot? Like,
[1:00:23] Speaker 2: you still have to look at the other person. So,
[1:00:25] Speaker 2: first game of Brunson missed was against the Jazz. The
[1:00:28] Speaker 2: Knicks won that game. That was on New Year's Day,
[1:00:30] Speaker 2: January 1st, 2025. Kat took 20 shots. I think Bridges
[1:00:34] Speaker 2: took 17. Mm-hmm. Let me keep looking, Google.
[1:00:37] Speaker 3: The primary creator.
[1:00:38] Speaker 2: Yeah, Bridges took 17.
[1:00:40] Speaker 3: I still think Kat is the one.
[1:00:42] Speaker 2: Yeah. Next game was March 7th against the Clippers. No.
[1:00:48] Speaker 3: Let me think.
[1:00:49] Speaker 2: Kat took 21 shots. Bridges took 12 shots. I'm third.
[1:00:54] Speaker 2: Next game was the 10th against Sacramento. Kat took 15 shots.
[1:01:02] Speaker 2: Bridges took 10 shots. What did OG take? I think
[1:01:06] Speaker 2: 15 shots that game. Let me just reconfirm. Doing this
[1:01:11] Speaker 2: on the fly. God bless everybody. Download the underdog app
[1:01:14] Speaker 2: for this hard work. So OG took 15 shots in
[1:01:17] Speaker 2: that Kings game. And last but not least, but in
[1:01:21] Speaker 2: this game against the Blazers, Cat only took 12 shots. Obviously,
[1:01:26] Speaker 2: Bridges took 21. And then OG took 20. OG took 20.
[1:01:32] Speaker 3: Cat should never take the least amount of shots out
[1:01:34] Speaker 3: of the three of them, I think.
[1:01:36] Speaker 2: Just one of them games. Yeah, just one of them games.
[1:01:38] Speaker 4: One of them games.
[1:01:39] Speaker 2: Just one of them games that a game goes through.
[1:01:40] Speaker 2: Let's get the ball. Cat, I hate it. I was
[1:01:42] Speaker 2: going to hit you with the cat voice.
[1:01:44] Speaker 5: Didn't Joker have seven? Didn't Joker have seven shots.
[1:01:48] Speaker 2: Against the Lakers, didn't he? I don't think I could create.
[1:01:51] Speaker 2: Seven shots. Superior game plan. We ain't go crazy when
[1:01:53] Speaker 2: he did that, right? Let's go host JJ Redding.
[1:01:55] Speaker 5: We ain't go crazy when he had that seven, did we?
[1:01:57] Speaker 5: We ain't say he's a secondary option after that.
[1:02:02] Speaker 2: Say who's a secondary option?
[1:02:04] Speaker 4: I can create my own shot, dude.
[1:02:07] Speaker 2: Yeah, Cat can create his own shot. I'm Cat town.
[1:02:10] Speaker 2: That was the number one pick. He was doing it. Meow. What?
[1:02:14] Speaker 2: Me injuries, I said now. Big purr.
[1:02:16] Speaker 4: Number one pick.
[1:02:18] Speaker 3: Hey, I love Cat.
[1:02:20] Speaker 2: Big purr. Okay, we got to live here. We're going
[1:02:22] Speaker 2: to be at Summer League soon.
[1:02:23] Speaker 4: Stop it.
[1:02:24] Speaker 2: We don't want no smoke. Thought it was a three.
[1:02:27] Speaker 4: You don't think I'm a number one option.
[1:02:32] Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Enough. We were talking about Nick Starter's
[1:02:39] Speaker 2: playing too many minutes. Mikael Bridges. We got to give
[1:02:42] Speaker 2: him some love, though. So Bridges, only sixth player in
[1:02:45] Speaker 2: NBA history to play their first 500 consecutive career games.
[1:02:48] Speaker 2: Streak is now 539 games, including 2022-2023 season when he
[1:02:53] Speaker 2: actually played 83 regular season games after getting traded. How
[1:02:57] Speaker 2: impressive is Mikael Bridges' Iron Man streak? You all hooped
[1:03:00] Speaker 2: in the league.
[1:03:01] Speaker 3: Very impressive.
[1:03:02] Speaker 2: He don't take no days off, so I would be
[1:03:04] Speaker 2: under the opinion that if he's saying Tibbs, God damn.
[1:03:08] Speaker 3: No facts. That is true.
[1:03:09] Speaker 2: Does he do, like, yoga? Does anybody know what he, like, does?
[1:03:11] Speaker 3: Yeah, he has to have a very good.
[1:03:13] Speaker 2: Does he eat Chipotle still?
[1:03:14] Speaker 3: Yeah, that was him, huh?
[1:03:16] Speaker 2: Every single day. Yeah, we had to do yoga at, uh... Yeah, baby,
[1:03:20] Speaker 2: it's Chipotle.
[1:03:21] Speaker 3: Maybe that's the key to longevity. I love Chipotle, too, so.
[1:03:26] Speaker 2: Did they give you one of those cars with the Unlimited?
[1:03:28] Speaker 3: No, but I'm gonna keep asking them to on the show.
[1:03:31] Speaker 2: If anybody from Chipotle watches Gil's Arena presented by Underdog, whoop, whoop.
[1:03:34] Speaker 2: Please give me the golden Chipotle. Give her that unlimited
[1:03:37] Speaker 2: Chipotle card. So Chipotle's the new Applebee's, huh? No.
[1:03:42] Speaker 3: When was Applebee's ever a thing? I thought we were
[1:03:45] Speaker 3: past this.
[1:03:47] Speaker 2: We are. We at Chipotle now. No.
[1:03:49] Speaker 3: No. Chipotle is for.
[1:03:50] Speaker 2: We drove past Applebee's.
[1:03:51] Speaker 3: Chipotle is my time.
[1:03:52] Speaker 2: We drove right past it.
[1:03:54] Speaker 3: Chipotle is for my time.
[1:03:55] Speaker 2: You say, hey. I say, okay.
[1:03:57] Speaker 1: No.
[1:03:57] Speaker 4: No.
[1:03:58] Speaker 2: Quesadillas it is.
[1:03:59] Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no.
[1:04:01] Speaker 2: Quesadillas my favorite. Yeah, baby, it's Chipotle.
[1:04:08] Speaker 3: It's been gone. People have not been bothering me with
[1:04:11] Speaker 3: that for a while.
[1:04:13] Speaker 2: He has not missed an NBA game. In seven seasons?
[1:04:16] Speaker 2: He's in the middle of his seventh season right now.
[1:04:18] Speaker 2: He hasn't missed a game. Has not missed a game.
[1:04:21] Speaker 2: In seven seasons. Chipotle every day and during that. Chipotle streak, too.
[1:04:26] Speaker 2: He changed his jumper back, too, right?
[1:04:28] Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
[1:04:28] Speaker 2: What is he doing? The game winner didn't look like
[1:04:30] Speaker 2: it was... He didn't look like it. He just let
[1:04:32] Speaker 2: it go.
[1:04:32] Speaker 3: I want to know what his, like, A-league routine is
[1:04:34] Speaker 3: and stuff, because that's very impressive.
[1:04:37] Speaker 2: I'm curious about how close he's come to not playing.
[1:04:38] Speaker 2: Because it's not like he has a strong body. He's still...
[1:04:40] Speaker 2: He's wiry, so it's like, what are you really doing
[1:04:43] Speaker 2: to take care of that? Hmm? All right.
[1:04:46] Speaker 4: You know, just the skinny yoga, the bands and all that.
[1:04:50] Speaker 2: Now, that's the person you ask.
[1:04:53] Speaker 1: You know, if you're somebody who's getting hurt, hey, brother,
[1:04:54] Speaker 1: what you doing over there, man?
[1:04:56] Speaker 2: Seven years, I mean.
[1:04:58] Speaker 3: Never missed.
[1:05:00] Speaker 2: John Stockdale, what were you doing?
[1:05:02] Speaker 4: Going to the hardest player down there every night.
[1:05:06] Speaker 2: That's impressive. Yeah, you know what? If I'm Tibbs.
[1:05:10] Speaker 3: I might be listening to him.
[1:05:13] Speaker 1: Yeah, if my Iron Man is not ironing right now,
[1:05:16] Speaker 1: I'm just like, hold on, y'all. Hey, listen, we're going
[1:05:18] Speaker 1: to have a couple days off. But usually motherfuckers like that,
[1:05:22] Speaker 1: If I'm playing you like that, I'm not practicing you
[1:05:24] Speaker 1: like that. He must be on the Stan Van motherfucking Gundy.
[1:05:27] Speaker 2: Yes, no, it is. Oh, that's where he's from? Yeah.
[1:05:29] Speaker 2: You heard what Joakim Noah said, though, when we interviewed
[1:05:31] Speaker 2: him on Star Week? I didn't even think about it.
[1:05:33] Speaker 2: I said, hey, we're going to practice today. Yeah. That
[1:05:35] Speaker 2: pick going to get to swinging. Yeah. He was in Boston.
[1:05:37] Speaker 2: State of Mississippi needs this ditch. They need this ditch. Yeah,
[1:05:41] Speaker 2: he has that mentality. That's why. You don't remember he
[1:05:42] Speaker 2: came to Washington, y'all? Yeah, yeah, he came to Washington?
[1:05:45] Speaker 2: What would I do?
[1:05:46] Speaker 4: I ain't going with you.
[1:05:47] Speaker 2: I ain't even going with that boy. She can show
[1:05:49] Speaker 2: on that. Came for one day and quit. One day. Quit.
[1:05:52] Speaker 2: One day. I didn't even remember. One day. One day. No, homeboy.
[1:05:55] Speaker 2: You can go ahead and move around. And went to Boston.
[1:05:59] Speaker 2: Take your ass to Boston. Play up. She went to Boston.
[1:06:01] Speaker 2: Got a ring. Well, we're going to take our ass.
[1:06:04] Speaker 2: You had one of those over there.
[1:06:05] Speaker 1: No.
[1:06:05] Speaker 2: Did he win a ring? Yeah, he was a coach.
[1:06:07] Speaker 2: It was that.
[1:06:07] Speaker 7: He was a city coach. Then after that, he went
[1:06:10] Speaker 7: to the Bulls. Yeah, the defensive coach with KG and all.
[1:06:12] Speaker 7: We're going to take our ass to Boston in one second.

[1:07:38] Speaker 5: I tell you every time.
[1:07:39] Speaker 3: I hate that.
[1:07:40] Speaker 2: You know it's going to be $ 125.
[1:07:41] Speaker 5: You know it's a little bit steep on your budget, right?
[1:07:44] Speaker 2: Do I look like I don't got it? Damn, $ 125?
[1:07:46] Speaker 2: That shit makes me so mad. I know the block
[1:07:47] Speaker 2: is extra. You don't have to remind me every day.
[1:07:49] Speaker 3: I'm more Brendan Haywood school of cheapness, though. I'll just
[1:07:53] Speaker 3: make the block.
[1:07:54] Speaker 2: One of them one day, I'm like....
[1:08:03] Speaker 3: They already scooped it. They're like, oh, it's extra. What
[1:08:05] Speaker 3: if I was like, ah, I don't got it. I'm
[1:08:08] Speaker 3: going to do it one time and see what happens.
[1:08:10] Speaker 2: Scoop that motherfucker right out.
[1:08:11] Speaker 3: I'll be like, how much extra?
[1:08:12] Speaker 2: $ 2?
[1:08:12] Speaker 3: You heard that.
[1:08:13] Speaker 2: Brendan Hayward story before?
[1:08:15] Speaker 5: Nah.
[1:08:16] Speaker 2: I had a buddy who played with him in North Carolina.
[1:08:17] Speaker 2: He used to go to Burger King, but he'd get
[1:08:18] Speaker 2: the Whopper without cheese, put the cheese on at the crib. Oh, yeah.
[1:08:21] Speaker 2: My cheese is better than that. That's true. Save some
[1:08:24] Speaker 2: bread over there. My cheese is better.
[1:08:27] Speaker 3: Cheese is where you draw the line at Burger King?
[1:08:30] Speaker 2: Cheese?
[1:08:31] Speaker 1: Listen, if you have burgers without cheese, something's wrong with you.
[1:08:36] Speaker 1: That plain just burger with the bun and meat.
[1:08:39] Speaker 2: Shit, what the fuck is wrong with you?
[1:08:42] Speaker 1: I was like eating a Popeye's biscuit.
[1:08:44] Speaker 2: Dry ass shit you got going on. With no jelly.
[1:08:47] Speaker 2: You can't take a Popeye's, but what about a plain burger?
[1:08:52] Speaker 2: A plain burger? No kid.
[1:08:57] Speaker 1: When I get it, I got to put my, they
[1:08:58] Speaker 1: spread and I got to put the miracle whip.
[1:09:00] Speaker 2: I got to put the white cheese. I got to
[1:09:02] Speaker 2: put the provolone and the American cheese. I needed to melt.
[1:09:06] Speaker 2: Like a surrogation. Surrogation.
[1:09:10] Speaker 1: Surrogate, then I melt it.
[1:09:13] Speaker 2: What is that? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Put that on the screen.
[1:09:17] Speaker 2: What is that? What is surrogation? I'm about to get upset.
[1:09:21] Speaker 5: What is that? That's the word I'm supposed to know
[1:09:24] Speaker 5: and I don't know it. What is surrogate?
[1:09:26] Speaker 2: What is surrogation? Isn't that what the white people used
[1:09:28] Speaker 2: back in the day?
[1:09:29] Speaker 3: Sarah Gayson.
[1:09:31] Speaker 2: Sarah Gayson. Keep it separate. No, it stays apart.
[1:09:35] Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I didn't grow up in the 50s in
[1:09:37] Speaker 1: the 60s. When I got hit, we was all in school,
[1:09:40] Speaker 1: so I wasn't supposed to know that word.
[1:09:42] Speaker 2: I thought you said it right.
[1:09:44] Speaker 3: And then you used it. You said it wrong, and
[1:09:47] Speaker 3: you used it wrong.
[1:09:48] Speaker 2: So, surrogation didn't work? Oh, that's the baby thing. Man, no, that's... What?
[1:09:51] Speaker 5: That's a chick on Facebook.
[1:09:55] Speaker 2: That's a surrogate. Sarah Gates, that's the girl from the
[1:09:58] Speaker 2: day on the thing. Sarah. Oh, my goodness.

[1:10:14] Speaker 3: What word?
[1:10:16] Speaker 2: We don't need the Sarah Grayson. We have segregation.
[1:10:18] Speaker 3: Is that how you say it?
[1:10:21] Speaker 2: And a surrogate. And a surrogate. And you put it
[1:10:24] Speaker 2: in one word. Surrogate. Surrogate. Sarah Grayson. I was on

[1:10:36] Speaker 3: Surrogacy is about pregnancy, and he talking about cheese.
[1:10:38] Speaker 2: No, he's talking about a white lady. Sarah Grayson. Her
[1:10:41] Speaker 2: name is Sarah Grayson. She's been lost for 17 days.
[1:10:43] Speaker 1: They've been looking for unsolved mysteries.

[1:11:31] Speaker 2: are how I know these people now when I see them.
[1:11:33] Speaker 2: And Vincent who? Gil, you actually called Gabe Vincent by name? I...
[1:11:38] Speaker 2: Was it Pete Carroll? It was Woody... Is it Pete...
[1:11:43] Speaker 2: Paolo P. Carroll. Paolo P. Carroll. Paolo P. Carroll. Not mentioned.
[1:11:48] Speaker 2: We just making up names. We know who we talking about.
[1:11:51] Speaker 2: We know who. Paolo P. Carroll. Paolo P.
[1:11:52] Speaker 1: Carroll.
[1:11:53] Speaker 2: Like a little kid, they know what they talking about.
[1:11:55] Speaker 2: They know what I'm saying. I know what I'm saying.
[1:12:07] Speaker 2: I just can't get this shit out right. We watch
[1:12:09] Speaker 2: the games. We just have trouble comprehending. Oh, De'Arenton Fox, too, Mr. De'Arenton.
[1:12:14] Speaker 2: That's his name. De'Arenton. De'Arenton Fox. There ain't no T's
[1:12:17] Speaker 2: in that. Oh, my God. Nowhere. No T's in there.
[1:12:20] Speaker 2: No T's in there.
[1:12:22] Speaker 3: Nowhere.
[1:12:23] Speaker 2: No, no T's. No T's. Sound it out. How do
[1:12:25] Speaker 2: you get that, boy? Come here. Say it again. Don't
[1:12:29] Speaker 2: say no T in this. De'Arenton. De'Arenton. Come over here
[1:12:36] Speaker 2: and talk to this boy. I can't talk to him.
[1:12:38] Speaker 2: Everybody in the chat, you know who the fuck we
[1:12:39] Speaker 2: mean when we say all these things. I used to
[1:12:41] Speaker 2: call Lonzo Alonzo. Alonzo Ball. Hey, boy good over there.
[1:12:46] Speaker 2: That boy going to be good for the ladies. This
[1:12:49] Speaker 2: show has a barbershop type feel. You go to any
[1:12:51] Speaker 2: black barbershop, these are the names you will hear. Okay,
[1:12:53] Speaker 2: I know what you're talking about. But let's talk about
[1:12:56] Speaker 2: the Thunder and the Celtics. More specifically, Shea Gildas Alexander.
[1:13:00] Speaker 2: So Thunder went into Boston last night. in what many
[1:13:02] Speaker 2: were calling a potential NBA Finals preview. Don't know if
[1:13:05] Speaker 2: anybody on this couch is calling it that, but let's
[1:13:07] Speaker 2: take a look at how the game went. So, Thunder
[1:13:10] Speaker 2: were without all-star Jalen Williams in this one. Celtics did
[1:13:13] Speaker 2: not have Chris Stapp's Porzingis available. SGA led the way
[1:13:16] Speaker 2: for Oklahoma City with 34 points on 11 for 20 shooting.
[1:13:19] Speaker 2: 39 minutes of action. It was SGA's 60th consecutive game
[1:13:25] Speaker 2: scoring 20 or more points, something only Wilt, Oscar Robertson, MJ, KD, Kobe,
[1:13:29] Speaker 2: and Kareem have ever done over the course of a
[1:13:32] Speaker 2: single season. Jason Tatum had 33 points, eight rebounds, and
[1:13:36] Speaker 2: eight assists for the Celtics. Jalen Brown struggled in this one,
[1:13:39] Speaker 2: scoring 10 points on five for 15 shooting in 38
[1:13:42] Speaker 2: minutes of action. Celtics attempted 36 threes in the first half,
[1:13:47] Speaker 2: the most attempts in any half in NBA history. They
[1:13:51] Speaker 2: finished 20 for 63 from deep for the game, 32%.
[1:13:55] Speaker 2: 63 total attempts for the Celtics are tied for the
[1:13:58] Speaker 2: third most in any game. in NBA history. So as
[1:14:02] Speaker 2: for OKC, the win clinched a playoff spot for them,
[1:14:06] Speaker 2: making them the first team in the West to accomplish
[1:14:08] Speaker 2: that feat this season.
[1:14:11] Speaker 4: Man.
[1:14:13] Speaker 2: You see it. That's why. That's Seattle.
[1:14:15] Speaker 1: Hey.
[1:14:17] Speaker 2: He too little. Take him down. Take him down there.
[1:14:20] Speaker 2: Getting that mini going. Get over him. Oh, my goodness.
[1:14:23] Speaker 2: In them Converse. They could be defenders, though. Yo, he
[1:14:27] Speaker 2: fucking Drew lead out there. I'm sorry.
[1:14:29] Speaker 3: That's the MVP. That's the MVP. I don't care.
[1:14:32] Speaker 2: Come on, man. All four of them defenders. That was personal. Yeah.
[1:14:38] Speaker 2: It felt like a statement game for SJ as he
[1:14:40] Speaker 2: continued his quest to win his first MVP in Adam
[1:14:43] Speaker 2: Silver's National Basketball Association. But was this game more about
[1:14:47] Speaker 2: the Thunder or the Celtics? Lexi, I'm going to start
[1:14:48] Speaker 2: with you. I know you're a Celtics fan. Y'all take
[1:14:50] Speaker 2: the L.
[1:14:51] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, we're missing Porzingis still.
[1:14:54] Speaker 4: Dead.
[1:14:57] Speaker 3: Took too many threes.
[1:14:58] Speaker 2: 63.
[1:15:00] Speaker 3: Too many. But, yeah, I think that game was more
[1:15:03] Speaker 3: about the Thunder, and I think now they're just rallying
[1:15:06] Speaker 3: around SGA because he deserves that MVP. I don't care
[1:15:08] Speaker 3: what anybody says. So I think that game was personal
[1:15:11] Speaker 3: for him. They went into the Garden and won. That's
[1:15:14] Speaker 3: not easy to do. And he's just so consistent, and
[1:15:18] Speaker 3: I think people are like, sometimes bored with his just consistency.
[1:15:22] Speaker 3: But I think that's what makes him the MVP, is
[1:15:24] Speaker 3: you know what you're going to get from him every night.
[1:15:27] Speaker 2: Consistent like Chipotle, I would say.
[1:15:28] Speaker 1: Yes.
[1:15:28] Speaker 2: You know what you're going to get every time you
[1:15:29] Speaker 2: go there.
[1:15:30] Speaker 3: Like Chipotle.
[1:15:31] Speaker 2: Never strays. Abbas Moore, Mr. B, a game more about
[1:15:34] Speaker 2: the Thunder or the Celtics? Neither, about SGA. It's about
[1:15:38] Speaker 2: Shea Gilchrist.
[1:15:40] Speaker 6: Going against the defending champs in Boston, playing against, you know,
[1:15:44] Speaker 6: Jalen Brown, a great defender, Drew Holiday, you know, the
[1:15:48] Speaker 6: whole team defends and putting the team on your back
[1:15:50] Speaker 6: in Boston and going in and get a win like that,
[1:15:54] Speaker 6: that was definitely a statement game. And then to have
[1:15:57] Speaker 6: the spotlight of your logo on the TD Garden after, that.
[1:16:03] Speaker 2: Was very cocky, but I like that. We're going to
[1:16:06] Speaker 2: talk about that in just a moment. Shout out to Converse.
[1:16:09] Speaker 2: Guild applied pressure on the show, said y'all need to
[1:16:11] Speaker 2: be doing more marketing for SGA. Y'all got it done
[1:16:14] Speaker 2: last night with some elite level trolling. We will hit
[1:16:16] Speaker 2: that in one second. But Can the Celtics continue to
[1:16:21] Speaker 2: live and die by the three? 63 three-point attempts. On pace,
[1:16:25] Speaker 2: I think, for NBA record amount of attempts.
[1:16:27] Speaker 3: That's too many. Like, there has to be a limit
[1:16:31] Speaker 3: at some point. But, yeah, I still think the way
[1:16:32] Speaker 3: they're playing, they'll be fine.
[1:16:35] Speaker 2: Yeah. And that's why I picked the Bucs. I think
[1:16:39] Speaker 2: they're going to still win it all. That's why I
[1:16:41] Speaker 2: picked the Bucs.
[1:16:42] Speaker 1: The biggest flaw for them is they shoot so many threes.
[1:16:47] Speaker 2: They ain't got no flaw.
[1:16:47] Speaker 1: If they're 10, 15, 20... 23s for that 50-60, Giannis
[1:16:53] Speaker 1: is not going to do that, right? So he's going
[1:16:56] Speaker 1: to be getting twos. You're shooting, they took 229 worth
[1:17:01] Speaker 1: of points last night, had a score of 112. They're taking,
[1:17:06] Speaker 1: when they lose, look at what they're scoring.
[1:17:09] Speaker 2: Right.
[1:17:10] Speaker 1: Look at what they're scoring when they lose. They're averaging
[1:17:12] Speaker 1: about 106, but they're taking 63s, 55 threes. Those are
[1:17:16] Speaker 1: the games they can't win. They don't even have a
[1:17:19] Speaker 1: chance to win.
[1:17:19] Speaker 2: You said 200 and... They shot 63 threes, right? So
[1:17:21] Speaker 2: that's 182. That's 189, yep. And then they took 22s, 40.
[1:17:32] Speaker 2: Add it together. That's how many points.
[1:17:34] Speaker 8: I mean, but, like, what can you say? They're in
[1:17:35] Speaker 8: second place in the East. They're defending champs. But that's
[1:17:38] Speaker 8: what I'm saying. But think about a playoff team, right?
[1:17:41] Speaker 8: When you're talking about matching up. This performance, you lost, right?
[1:17:44] Speaker 8: Just like you lost here. Every time you've had this performance,
[1:17:47] Speaker 8: you lost.
[1:17:48] Speaker 2: The only way to get rid of someone like Giannis,
[1:17:51] Speaker 2: who's just going to the basket the whole time, that
[1:17:53] Speaker 2: means he's shooting at a 58% to 63% rate on layups.
[1:17:55] Speaker 2: You have to shoot 45 and above.
[1:18:02] Speaker 1: At the rate you're doing because he's getting free throws
[1:18:04] Speaker 1: and layups. So he's going to take away some.
[1:18:07] Speaker 2: Of them shots. So you have to be shooting at
[1:18:10] Speaker 2: a high rate.
[1:18:11] Speaker 1: You have them bad performances where you're shooting under 25
[1:18:15] Speaker 1: makes with 60 shots.
[1:18:18] Speaker 2: You can't win that game.
[1:18:19] Speaker 3: At what number is still considered living and dying? Because
[1:18:22] Speaker 3: I feel like if they take 45, 40 to 45 threes,
[1:18:27] Speaker 3: that's still a lot of threes, but for them, no.
[1:18:30] Speaker 3: But I feel like they can adjust.
[1:18:32] Speaker 2: How many degrees did the Warriors take in 2017? And 18?
[1:18:34] Speaker 4: Give me.
[1:18:36] Speaker 2: One second. I'm sure y'all were the team. Y'all won? Yeah.
[1:18:41] Speaker 2: Y'all was making them, though.
[1:18:42] Speaker 3: Also, not everyone, but everyone.
[1:18:44] Speaker 2: Else was the team. That's what I'm saying.
[1:18:46] Speaker 4: I know a team that the high after coming down
[1:18:48] Speaker 4: from winning the championships. they know where they're going to
[1:18:52] Speaker 4: be at. That's the goal.
[1:18:53] Speaker 2: 60's a lot.
[1:18:53] Speaker 3: Celtics are averaging 48.2 threes per game right now.
[1:18:55] Speaker 2: Right, like 60's a lot. What'd you say, Nick? Warriors
[1:18:57] Speaker 2: in 2017, 18? But you see.
[1:18:58] Speaker 3: Do you see what they're relying on?
[1:19:01] Speaker 2: Warriors in 31. Warriors in 31.
[1:19:10] Speaker 4: Damn.
[1:19:11] Speaker 5: You see what they're relying on? They're relying on the data.
[1:19:15] Speaker 5: The data says if I shoot 32% out of this,
[1:19:22] Speaker 5: how many?
[1:19:23] Speaker 2: 60. 63s.
[1:19:24] Speaker 5: There's plenty enough points if we have a good game
[1:19:28] Speaker 5: where we're actually hitting. So think about the games when
[1:19:32] Speaker 5: we are hitting, how we blow those teams out.
[1:19:35] Speaker 2: Crazy.
[1:19:36] Speaker 3: Yeah, so, like, I'm not gonna take any.
[1:19:38] Speaker 2: But that's one out of ten. Let me land. Let
[1:19:40] Speaker 2: me land. Did y'all see that guy with number... Nigga,
[1:19:43] Speaker 2: they do. They do. Go ahead, Cemetery Larry. They shot
[1:19:45] Speaker 2: 80 shots. Nigga, 63 is three. 63 out of their
[1:19:46] Speaker 2: 94 and 10. They shot 63. Did you see that guy? 94.
[1:19:48] Speaker 1: So, Cemetery Larry, what were you saying?
[1:20:00] Speaker 2: Nobody said... We didn't say they took a bunch of... 63.
[1:20:01] Speaker 3: He still took more threes than twos, though.
[1:20:04] Speaker 2: Not even close. It's not even close.
[1:20:05] Speaker 3: He took 13 threes and 10 twos.
[1:20:07] Speaker 2: The guy had 10 points, too.
[1:20:09] Speaker 1: Just look.
[1:20:10] Speaker 2: The guy had 10 points, too. He ain't going to
[1:20:13] Speaker 2: have 10 points every game. So what were you saying?
[1:20:15] Speaker 4: That ain't going to never happen.
[1:20:16] Speaker 2: But you're checking shots.
[1:20:17] Speaker 4: I don't... But Jalen Brown scoring 10 points is never
[1:20:21] Speaker 4: going to happen again. Shot.
[1:20:25] Speaker 2: So, the other.
[1:20:28] Speaker 5: guys on the team that really shoot well from the three,
[1:20:30] Speaker 5: if they ever get hot, they are all probably 37%
[1:20:33] Speaker 5: from three or above.
[1:20:35] Speaker 2: You got guys like Peyton Pritchard, Sam Houser, guys we
[1:20:37] Speaker 2: know who.
[1:20:38] Speaker 5: Derrick White, you know, and then you got Drew Holiday
[1:20:40] Speaker 5: that can get hot. Then you got fucking Al Hortford
[1:20:44] Speaker 5: that can get hot. He's known to just rely on
[1:20:46] Speaker 5: that shot now. So if they're shooting.
[1:20:48] Speaker 2: 35 or below....
[1:20:50] Speaker 5: That's still great for them. Still great for them.
[1:20:53] Speaker 2: Against most teams who get to shoot with them.
[1:20:55] Speaker 5: I'm saying for them.
[1:20:58] Speaker 3: You're hypothetically saying if they match up with the Bucs.
[1:20:59] Speaker 1: If they match up with the Bucs because the Bucs,
[1:21:02] Speaker 1: they're not going to shoot 63s where who has 42%.
[1:21:05] Speaker 5: Well, you have to depend on us. You have to
[1:21:08] Speaker 5: depend on us missing that night. You have to depend.
[1:21:12] Speaker 5: If we don't miss that, that's a bad night for
[1:21:15] Speaker 5: us at 31%.
[1:21:15] Speaker 2: Is 42% good? 42.9, so 43% from the three.
[1:21:20] Speaker 1: They scored 97 points, got blown out by 20.
[1:21:23] Speaker 5: Shooting 42%? Shooting 42%. What did the other team shoot?
[1:21:28] Speaker 5: They had to shoot 50% on the field.
[1:21:29] Speaker 2: The Celtics shooting 37% as a team this season on
[1:21:32] Speaker 2: horrible 48.2 attempts.
[1:21:35] Speaker 5: Regardless of how we see it.
[1:21:38] Speaker 2: They're looking at it. That's not good. No, 37%.
[1:21:40] Speaker 3: That's pretty good for a team that's shooting that many?
[1:21:42] Speaker 2: They're shooting 37, yeah, 36.3.
[1:21:44] Speaker 9: The other team, the team they lost to, which was Detroit,
[1:21:55] Speaker 9: Shot 52% from the field.
[1:21:56] Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a great game. Because they're going for twos.
[1:21:58] Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's what happened.
[1:22:00] Speaker 8: What game were we talking about when they lost all
[1:22:03] Speaker 8: those O-boards?
[1:22:04] Speaker 3: Who did they play? What game was that?
[1:22:07] Speaker 2: And that was New York. So you're telling me we
[1:22:08] Speaker 2: got a bet then.
[1:22:09] Speaker 3: Was it New York?
[1:22:10] Speaker 2: I'll bet you if they played. There was.
[1:22:11] Speaker 3: They're, what, 47-19? I've already did calculations on it.
[1:22:14] Speaker 2: I'm not tripping over losing a game. I think it's
[1:22:16] Speaker 2: 31-3 is the game or something like that. We shot
[1:22:18] Speaker 2: too many threes. But, yeah, 17, 18, 17.
[1:22:21] Speaker 5: Warriors are shooting 42 threes a game this season.
[1:22:26] Speaker 2: Third in the league.
[1:22:26] Speaker 5: On a good game, on a good night. They're going
[1:22:29] Speaker 5: to hit.
[1:22:30] Speaker 2: In 2018, it was 29 attempts a game. This season,
[1:22:33] Speaker 2: they're shooting 42.3.
[1:22:34] Speaker 1: OKC, OKC, they went nine for 46 from the three-point line.
[1:22:40] Speaker 3: When, last night?
[1:22:41] Speaker 2: No, the first time. The last time, they scored 92 points. Um....
[1:22:47] Speaker 1: In OKC, 44 from the field. You give somebody, like
[1:22:50] Speaker 1: when you're shooting that bad, it's not like you're breaking 100.
[1:22:55] Speaker 2: When you're shooting.
[1:22:56] Speaker 1: That's just a 200, what's the name of the shots?
[1:22:59] Speaker 1: That's how much you're missing. That's how much you're giving
[1:23:01] Speaker 1: up on shooting. So if somebody's just coming in and
[1:23:03] Speaker 1: making layups, you have to be on fire.
[1:23:06] Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you have to depend on the twos getting converted.
[1:23:10] Speaker 2: Then you have to now rank our defense. Yeah.
[1:23:13] Speaker 5: Now you say, what are we doing defensively? Are we
[1:23:15] Speaker 5: stopping our guys? to actually give us more chances to
[1:23:19] Speaker 5: convert on our three-point misses. So if we come down
[1:23:22] Speaker 5: and we miss three in a row, we get two stops,
[1:23:24] Speaker 5: we don't lose on those Giannis twos. We still can
[1:23:29] Speaker 5: hit two in a row on getting stops on Giannis,
[1:23:32] Speaker 5: depending on where we rank defensively. If we're top 10 defense,
[1:23:37] Speaker 5: we can then live on being top 13. We're 13th
[1:23:41] Speaker 5: in the league in three-point shooting at 37.
[1:23:43] Speaker 2: Oh, no, that's what he does. But ain't nobody stopping Giannis. Look,
[1:23:45] Speaker 2: right here. Man. No way. One at a time. One
[1:23:52] Speaker 2: at a time. Here's another one. 16 for 46.
[1:23:56] Speaker 1: 16 for 46 from the three. Toronto Raptors shoot 50%
[1:24:02] Speaker 1: from the field. Boston shot more shots, but obviously the
[1:24:08] Speaker 1: more layups that they're making, they beat them 110 to 97.
[1:24:14] Speaker 5: What's the Boston Celtics record? 47-19.
[1:24:17] Speaker 3: They've lost 19 games.
[1:24:18] Speaker 5: You're talking about two of the 19. I'm not even
[1:24:22] Speaker 5: thinking about what he's saying. Our percentages work in our favor.
[1:24:27] Speaker 2: No matter what he's saying. When I say, though, 23-12
[1:24:29] Speaker 2: at home this season. The what? 23-12 at home this
[1:24:35] Speaker 2: season for the Celtics. They shoot more threes at home.
[1:24:38] Speaker 2: So all these.
[1:24:39] Speaker 3: Last year, they were.
[1:24:41] Speaker 2: What, 37-4, something like that? Yes, they were. It's their
[1:24:45] Speaker 2: Achilles heel. It's the honeymoon.
[1:24:47] Speaker 1: When they don't realize it, and you're going to play
[1:24:48] Speaker 1: against a guy like... Remember, when you're shooting 40-something and
[1:24:51] Speaker 1: you're missing, this team is going to win that, right?
[1:24:54] Speaker 1: The only way you blow them out is if you're
[1:24:56] Speaker 1: on fire, which in a seven-game series, that's going to
[1:24:58] Speaker 1: be one and a half times.
[1:25:00] Speaker 2: You're going to be bad one and a half times.
[1:25:02] Speaker 1: What does that middle look like? It's an equal thing.
[1:25:06] Speaker 1: One and a half, you're going to be on fire.
[1:25:07] Speaker 1: One and a half, you're going to be off, right?
[1:25:10] Speaker 1: What does the other four games look like for you?
[1:25:14] Speaker 2: Two, two. No, they don't shoot twos. That's the thing.
[1:25:17] Speaker 2: They don't shoot twos. But they can. But that means
[1:25:19] Speaker 2: they got to go 25 for 30.
[1:25:20] Speaker 3: But when they do, they make them.
[1:25:22] Speaker 2: But, Lexi, do you see them shifting their strategy at
[1:25:24] Speaker 2: all when it comes playoff time, reducing that three-pointer?
[1:25:26] Speaker 3: I mean, everybody changes their strategies in the playoffs. That's
[1:25:29] Speaker 3: what playoffs is about.
[1:25:30] Speaker 2: Because they have dudes that can get to the bucket
[1:25:32] Speaker 2: and get... That's what I said.
[1:25:33] Speaker 3: Yeah, but... 60 is too many, though. Like, but they're
[1:25:37] Speaker 3: not going to change their philosophy for a hypothetical matchup
[1:25:40] Speaker 3: against the Bucks in the playoffs.
[1:25:41] Speaker 2: And is this a way to conserve energy for them
[1:25:43] Speaker 2: by taking all these threes?
[1:25:46] Speaker 3: It's a lot of threes.
[1:25:48] Speaker 2: They even died by it.
[1:25:49] Speaker 5: What's a good percentage for a shooting guard, a field
[1:25:52] Speaker 5: goal percentage for a shooting guard?
[1:25:56] Speaker 2: How high level is he? How many shots is he getting?
[1:25:58] Speaker 2: High volume, high usage. I think it depends. Let's say 45%. 45%. Solid.
[1:26:01] Speaker 5: That's very good.
[1:26:04] Speaker 2: Very good, right? Yeah.
[1:26:06] Speaker 5: Celtics are shooting 46 from the field as a team.
[1:26:09] Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's autumn damn threes.
[1:26:11] Speaker 2: From the field? That's good as a team. 45% from
[1:26:14] Speaker 2: the field.
[1:26:16] Speaker 3: Yeah, even with all those threes.
[1:26:18] Speaker 5: So with all those threes, you're shooting 36 from the three,
[1:26:20] Speaker 5: 46 from the two.
[1:26:22] Speaker 2: If we have a bad game.
[1:26:24] Speaker 5: From the three, if we take enough twos, which is
[1:26:29] Speaker 5: his argument, that they don't take enough twos, if they
[1:26:32] Speaker 5: take enough twos, we offset at any point because of
[1:26:37] Speaker 5: our percentages. We shoot a high percentage. They have the
[1:26:41] Speaker 5: ability to adjust, but will they adjust is the question.
[1:26:43] Speaker 5: And it depends on what team they're adjusting to. You know, Jalen,
[1:26:46] Speaker 5: Jalen will be more aggressive depending on who he's going against. Jason,
[1:26:50] Speaker 5: he's proven he's aggressive against certain guys. Przingis is not
[1:26:54] Speaker 5: out there. I mean, I think they're in a good position,
[1:26:56] Speaker 5: like she said.
[1:26:58] Speaker 2: Did they need to shoot all those threes last night? Yes.
[1:27:00] Speaker 2: To go against OKC?
[1:27:01] Speaker 4: No.
[1:27:02] Speaker 1: Because what is the young fella doing? What is the
[1:27:05] Speaker 1: motherfucker they losing to doing? Where is he doing?
[1:27:07] Speaker 2: Going right to the rim. What shots are we missing? Threes.
[1:27:10] Speaker 5: Regular shots that we take on the regular.
[1:27:14] Speaker 2: Man. We're Phoenix Suns, right? Mm-hmm.
[1:27:16] Speaker 5: D'Antoni, Steve Nash, Quinn Richardson, Joe Johnson.
[1:27:20] Speaker 2: We're not changing. These are shots we shoot. Yeah. Keep shooting, guys.
[1:27:25] Speaker 2: We know we make these shots. What do you mean?
[1:27:28] Speaker 2: We're not tripping.
[1:27:29] Speaker 5: Our percentages are going to go up because we know
[1:27:31] Speaker 5: we're supposed to make these shots.
[1:27:32] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:27:34] Speaker 2: These are regular shots. They just missed. So let's shift
[1:27:38] Speaker 2: back to the potential.
[1:27:39] Speaker 1: 46% shooting 15 twos, 22s, while the other team is
[1:27:41] Speaker 1: shooting 42s.
[1:27:42] Speaker 2: And we only go up.
[1:27:48] Speaker 5: The more we shoot, the more the percentage goes up.
[1:27:50] Speaker 2: But think what I'm saying.
[1:27:51] Speaker 1: If you're at 46% shooting only 22s, and I'm shooting
[1:27:57] Speaker 1: 42s at 38%, I'm scoring more than you.
[1:28:00] Speaker 4: So you're saying you would change your formula after winning
[1:28:02] Speaker 4: the championship?
[1:28:03] Speaker 1: No, I'm saying there's one team out there who hasn't
[1:28:06] Speaker 1: gravitated to that style, and that can be a danger
[1:28:10] Speaker 1: point for them taking this many threes because the guy
[1:28:14] Speaker 1: they're playing against... Like, think about the teams that they
[1:28:17] Speaker 1: lose to. They're not chucking threes with them. Like, the
[1:28:20] Speaker 1: teams that chuck threes with them, they're going to blow
[1:28:23] Speaker 1: them out of the water.
[1:28:23] Speaker 2: Right?
[1:28:24] Speaker 1: They're going to beat the Indiana.
[1:28:25] Speaker 2: They're going to beat those guys.
[1:28:27] Speaker 1: The teams that sit there and they're going to drive
[1:28:29] Speaker 1: and their point guard is getting or their shooting guard
[1:28:30] Speaker 1: is getting to the lane, getting these twos, getting these
[1:28:33] Speaker 1: and ones, getting these twos, hitting these mid-ranges, he's palling
[1:28:36] Speaker 1: up his points while you're just chucking threes. So he
[1:28:39] Speaker 1: has 40 layups. They got 40 mid-range jump shots, 30 threes.
[1:28:46] Speaker 1: You got 60 threes, 20 layups. That calculates, that offsets
[1:28:53] Speaker 1: the threes you're making. That's why I said there's one
[1:28:55] Speaker 1: team that they can't play against.
[1:28:58] Speaker 2: You said Bucs? I said Milwaukee. I said Giannis. It's
[1:29:01] Speaker 2: just Giannis. How Giannis plays can hurt them. What about
[1:29:04] Speaker 2: the Cavs, though? Six more than last season is Cavs? Yeah.
[1:29:08] Speaker 3: Six more.
[1:29:08] Speaker 6: What if it's not the Bucs and it's the Cavs
[1:29:10] Speaker 6: or something? What if it's the Cavs and it's playing
[1:29:12] Speaker 6: them second round?
[1:29:14] Speaker 2: Cavs is a three-point shooting team, too.
[1:29:17] Speaker 1: Any three-point shooting team, like Cavs, Cavs have that middle
[1:29:20] Speaker 1: ground too, but if you're going to shoot 40, 50
[1:29:22] Speaker 1: threes with them, they're going to beat you at that game.
[1:29:24] Speaker 1: Just like with Golden State, you try to play their game,
[1:29:26] Speaker 1: that's what they're good at.
[1:29:27] Speaker 4: Well, a team that played both ends and they got
[1:29:30] Speaker 4: a future MVP on it.
[1:29:32] Speaker 1: Cool, but what I'm saying is you have to shoot
[1:29:34] Speaker 1: a certain amount of threes and made if you're.
[1:29:38] Speaker 2: Playing against it. This is like playing against Shaq. Right?
[1:29:41] Speaker 1: If Shaq is going to go down, Shaq and Kobe,
[1:29:42] Speaker 1: they're going down there dunking and making mid-ranges, and they're
[1:29:45] Speaker 1: taking 90 shots, but 50 of them, 50 of them
[1:29:50] Speaker 1: are twos, you have to hit a.
[1:29:53] Speaker 2: Fucking high clip. Which they do.
[1:29:55] Speaker 4: How many threes did the tailings hook?
[1:29:58] Speaker 2: Hold on.
[1:29:58] Speaker 5: This year, they're averaging how many threes a game?
[1:30:00] Speaker 2: 48.
[1:30:01] Speaker 5: 48 threes a game this year. Last year, how many
[1:30:05] Speaker 5: do you think they averaged?
[1:30:06] Speaker 2: 42. 43. 43.
[1:30:09] Speaker 5: So at 43, what do you think their percentage is
[1:30:12] Speaker 5: that they shot.
[1:30:14] Speaker 2: As a team? For threes? 37, 40?
[1:30:16] Speaker 1: 38.
[1:30:17] Speaker 2: So now that they're at 36.
[1:30:18] Speaker 1: They took six more shots a game.
[1:30:25] Speaker 2: Why would we change anything? This is a formula for success. Yeah,
[1:30:29] Speaker 2: that's right.
[1:30:29] Speaker 5: We wouldn't change nothing out of this. We wouldn't change
[1:30:31] Speaker 5: nothing because the numbers are the same.
[1:30:33] Speaker 2: And we're taking six more.
[1:30:35] Speaker 3: You can say that and still say 60 attempts is
[1:30:37] Speaker 3: too many, but they don't have.
[1:30:39] Speaker 2: To change their whole formula. They don't have to. You're
[1:30:41] Speaker 2: saying the same thing. You keep saying how many threes
[1:30:44] Speaker 2: in their percentage. And I'm saying, cool.
[1:30:47] Speaker 1: But there's one team out there in the East that
[1:30:51] Speaker 1: offsets this output.
[1:30:52] Speaker 2: There's not even a team. It's one person That offsets
[1:30:57] Speaker 2: this out. You think?
[1:30:58] Speaker 3: What if they match up and Giannis starts two or three?
[1:31:01] Speaker 2: Elbows and boxes. We call it a box and one.
[1:31:04] Speaker 2: Giannis got smart enough. Box and one on Giannis.
[1:31:06] Speaker 3: But what if they get to game one?
[1:31:09] Speaker 2: So the reality is right now they're going to lead
[1:31:13] Speaker 2: that team in the conference finals.
[1:31:15] Speaker 1: They're acting like I'm saying they're going to lose.
[1:31:17] Speaker 2: I'm saying there's one person that can offset Not 18.
[1:31:20] Speaker 1: There's one person that's going to average 30-something. He's going
[1:31:25] Speaker 1: to be getting in the lane, and that's going to
[1:31:27] Speaker 1: offset these chuck threes you're taking.
[1:31:30] Speaker 2: You're taking... Think about what I'm saying. Think about what
[1:31:34] Speaker 2: I'm saying. They shot 42% from the three. They shot 42%.
[1:31:38] Speaker 1: From the three and lost because their two-pointers, they made
[1:31:41] Speaker 1: 13 twos.
[1:31:42] Speaker 2: That is not good. The other team is making 40, 32.
[1:31:46] Speaker 2: My man.
[1:31:49] Speaker 4: Tatum versus Greek Freak. He got to guard that.
[1:31:53] Speaker 2: Man, too.
[1:31:53] Speaker 6: Listen, Jason Tatum does not want to play against Giannis one-on-one.
[1:31:55] Speaker 2: You do not want that. That's not even a good matchup.
[1:31:58] Speaker 1: If you make 13 threes, if you make 13 layups, right,
[1:32:00] Speaker 1: and this team makes 33 layups, how many threes do
[1:32:02] Speaker 1: you need to make just to catch that? Then if
[1:32:13] Speaker 1: they make threes, you have to match that.
[1:32:15] Speaker 2: Like, it's real calculation.
[1:32:17] Speaker 5: But you would have to play trash-ass defense.
[1:32:20] Speaker 1: Yeah. You'd have to give up 100% from the field.
[1:32:24] Speaker 3: That's weird.
[1:32:25] Speaker 5: You're not accounting for the defense.
[1:32:27] Speaker 2: What about the rest.
[1:32:28] Speaker 3: Of the Bucs that shoot threes? Are they going to not.
[1:32:30] Speaker 2: Shoot threes anymore either? I said shoot 50% or it's
[1:32:32] Speaker 2: not part of the.
[1:32:32] Speaker 4: But when the Bucs.
[1:32:35] Speaker 2: Got out the first round. I said Giannis. I didn't
[1:32:38] Speaker 2: say that, but I said Giannis. I said Giannis. But
[1:32:41] Speaker 2: we can stop the one guy. We can stop him.
[1:32:44] Speaker 2: We can stop him.
[1:32:45] Speaker 3: Or let Giannis do his thing and stop everybody else.
[1:32:48] Speaker 2: Whichever one we do, we make the three. If we
[1:32:51] Speaker 2: make threes, we good. All right, well, let's keep this
[1:32:54] Speaker 2: thing moving. We asked the chat, are the Celtics shooting
[1:32:56] Speaker 2: too many threes? 82% of the chat said yes.
[1:33:00] Speaker 3: They think everybody's shooting too many.
[1:33:01] Speaker 2: But let's move on. So Jalen Brown said, About guarding S.J.
[1:33:05] Speaker 2: after the game. It's tough. That boy good. S.J. balled
[1:33:09] Speaker 2: out on the court once again, and his marketing team
[1:33:11] Speaker 2: did their thing in Boston after the game as well.
[1:33:14] Speaker 2: Shout out Converse. So Mark Spears tweeted, the Shea Goodis
[1:33:19] Speaker 2: Alexander logo was posted Batman style on some landmark spots
[1:33:23] Speaker 2: in Boston tonight, including the Celtics home arena after the
[1:33:26] Speaker 2: big Thunder win.
[1:33:29] Speaker 3: Wow.
[1:33:29] Speaker 2: No, you're not.
[1:33:30] Speaker 3: That's confidence.
[1:33:31] Speaker 2: I like it.
[1:33:31] Speaker 3: Because you got to plan that.
[1:33:33] Speaker 2: Shout out Converse.
[1:33:35] Speaker 3: You gotta plan that.
[1:33:36] Speaker 2: I mean. So Gil, you've previously said that SGA's marketing
[1:33:40] Speaker 2: needed to improve to help increase his visibility and bring
[1:33:42] Speaker 2: more attention to what he's doing on the court. I'm
[1:33:44] Speaker 2: looking at your face right now. Do you like the
[1:33:46] Speaker 2: Batman-style logo projection from SGA and his marketing team after
[1:33:49] Speaker 2: the win in Boston? You can give them love, Gil.
[1:33:52] Speaker 2: It's okay. 2025. Look, they tried. I get it. I
[1:33:57] Speaker 2: get it. They tried. It's a step. But how the
[1:34:00] Speaker 2: fuck do we supposed to know?
[1:34:02] Speaker 1: We know what the Batman sign is because it's been printed.
[1:34:07] Speaker 2: It's Batman. This is the first time we've seen this logo.
[1:34:10] Speaker 2: We don't know what it is. Put the motherfucking man
[1:34:13] Speaker 2: right there. Let us see.
[1:34:14] Speaker 4: This is him.
[1:34:15] Speaker 5: Like an Uber Eats.
[1:34:18] Speaker 2: My delivery ready.
[1:34:20] Speaker 1: You're talking about walking down the street seeing this.
[1:34:22] Speaker 2: You don't know what it is? Well, now you know, kid.
[1:34:25] Speaker 1: That could be a Chinese symbol.
[1:34:26] Speaker 2: That's Koreatown. Nah, bro. Like, let's just be honest. That
[1:34:29] Speaker 2: could be a Chinese symbol. That's Koreatown. Koreatown is a
[1:34:34] Speaker 2: Chinese symbol for Koreatown. I'm just saying. I said or. Or, okay.
[1:34:38] Speaker 2: I said or. You don't know what or is? I
[1:34:40] Speaker 2: heard or, Gil. You got the checks. It was right
[1:34:44] Speaker 2: there for you.
[1:34:45] Speaker 3: There you go. That is true, because I had no
[1:34:47] Speaker 3: idea what logo that was. But they knew it would
[1:34:50] Speaker 3: go viral.
[1:34:50] Speaker 2: As it did. Everybody's talking about it on social media.
[1:34:53] Speaker 2: And now it had to be explained to a lot
[1:34:54] Speaker 2: of people, but you know that that's... Okay, so it
[1:34:56] Speaker 2: didn't go viral. It didn't go viral, because you have
[1:34:57] Speaker 2: to explain it. It went viral because it was explained. Yeah,
[1:35:00] Speaker 2: because you have to explain it, because nobody knows what
[1:35:02] Speaker 2: it is. That's why if you are about.
[1:35:04] Speaker 1: Marketing, you got to understand this is first shoe, this
[1:35:06] Speaker 1: is first logo.
[1:35:07] Speaker 2: No one knows what it is yet. You have to
[1:35:10] Speaker 2: put a face.
[1:35:11] Speaker 1: to the logo, so he should have been on this
[1:35:14] Speaker 1: building with the logo so people can correlate the two.
[1:35:19] Speaker 2: That's it. I wouldn't have mind the logo. That's just
[1:35:21] Speaker 2: where you messed up. That's the only thing. Is that legal?
[1:35:24] Speaker 2: To put, like, somebody else's... You can project things on the.
[1:35:29] Speaker 4: Why people don't do that more often?
[1:35:31] Speaker 3: They should have just put SGA MVP or something.
[1:35:34] Speaker 2: See you in June or something. Yeah, that's weird.
[1:35:36] Speaker 3: They should have put MVP or something.
[1:35:37] Speaker 2: SGA's house.
[1:35:38] Speaker 3: My house or something, yeah. Because the logo's cool, but yeah,
[1:35:42] Speaker 3: I was like, if they didn't put the tweet out,
[1:35:45] Speaker 3: who would have been like, what is that?
[1:35:46] Speaker 2: It was coordinated, and we are talking about it.
[1:35:49] Speaker 3: Especially if it's in Boston. If people weren't paying attention
[1:35:52] Speaker 3: to the Celtic game, they would have been like, what the.
[1:35:55] Speaker 2: Hell is that?
[1:35:55] Speaker 1: If Spears didn't say this is what they did, you
[1:35:59] Speaker 1: look at that and you don't.
[1:35:59] Speaker 2: Know what it is. He would have put it on
[1:36:02] Speaker 2: his page, though. Huh? I say he probably would have
[1:36:03] Speaker 2: put it on his face. What I'm saying is you
[1:36:05] Speaker 2: still don't know what it is. It's the problem. Like,
[1:36:08] Speaker 2: we have to know what your logo is first.
[1:36:10] Speaker 1: Right? We know what Tough Crowd because we know what
[1:36:12] Speaker 1: it is. So if we see this logo anywhere, and
[1:36:14] Speaker 1: this was Gil's arena, but if we see your logo anywhere,
[1:36:17] Speaker 1: we know where the logo comes from. Here is the
[1:36:20] Speaker 1: first time we're seeing it.
[1:36:21] Speaker 2: So it's like we have the logo on the floor. Wait,
[1:36:23] Speaker 2: hold on. No, but we saw it at All-Star weekend. Remember? Yeah.
[1:36:26] Speaker 2: Have we seen the shoes?
[1:36:28] Speaker 4: Ain't this the first time Converse Yo some of us
[1:36:29] Speaker 4: were at the Converse party hanging out with SGA.
[1:36:32] Speaker 1: I know they don't know but I'm just saying It's
[1:36:34] Speaker 1: a good start though That's a great start We don't
[1:36:37] Speaker 1: even know that We don't.
[1:36:37] Speaker 6: Even know that That's your first step Dwayne Wade They
[1:36:41] Speaker 6: had Dwayne Wade.
[1:36:41] Speaker 2: Early Some of us were at the Converse function All-Star

[1:36:57] Speaker 2: Deadly still waiting for shoes, sir. Size 14. You know
[1:37:00] Speaker 2: the address. But nonetheless.
[1:37:01] Speaker 4: You said D-Wade, but I don't remember his shoes.
[1:37:04] Speaker 2: Also like a size 9. It was big. Remember?
[1:37:09] Speaker 4: At least appreciate the attempt.
[1:37:11] Speaker 2: No, no, I like the attempt. I mean, I get it. Like,
[1:37:13] Speaker 2: especially over there. It's upgrading.
[1:37:15] Speaker 1: I do that in every goddamn city. Just add his
[1:37:17] Speaker 1: face to it so we know now. Like, just regular people.
[1:37:20] Speaker 1: Just pretend everybody's not basketball fans.
[1:37:23] Speaker 2: How about that?
[1:37:24] Speaker 1: Let's start there. Pretend everybody's not basketball fans. So if
[1:37:28] Speaker 1: you're going to put a logo, put whose logo is
[1:37:31] Speaker 1: it so they can.
[1:37:32] Speaker 2: Hey, Mom? Oh, my God, that's my favorite player. Can
[1:37:34] Speaker 2: I get that?
[1:37:35] Speaker 3: Put a little QR code up there. Yeah, throw that
[1:37:38] Speaker 3: in there.
[1:37:39] Speaker 1: Everybody's telling me to stop begging.
[1:37:40] Speaker 2: Begging has gotten me far.
[1:37:41] Speaker 6: How did you come up with some of your marketing stuff,
[1:37:43] Speaker 6: like Agent Zero and Hibachi and all that?
[1:37:47] Speaker 2: Or did you... Stolen. Who you stealing from?
[1:37:49] Speaker 1: Stolen.
[1:37:49] Speaker 2: All right, don't say nothing. No, we can't say. I
[1:37:51] Speaker 2: stole a hibachi from Brennan Haywood.
[1:37:55] Speaker 1: Brennan Haywood. It was after one of the games. Motherfucking
[1:37:59] Speaker 1: me and Larry, he was getting torched. Well, I was
[1:38:01] Speaker 1: getting torched, but, you know, Larry was part of it.
[1:38:04] Speaker 1: And he was like, man, they out there. Shit, motherfucker,
[1:38:07] Speaker 1: you the hibachi style. I did cooking in chicken and shrimp.
[1:38:12] Speaker 1: And I was like, I be cooking, too?
[1:38:14] Speaker 2: Shit. I be having motherfuckers on the grill. And then
[1:38:16] Speaker 2: I thought about it. This plus conference, I'm using that shit.
[1:38:23] Speaker 1: And I came with that, yeah, I did motherfucker sizzling
[1:38:26] Speaker 1: And then that's where it came from.
[1:38:28] Speaker 2: You added this, though.
[1:38:29] Speaker 1: And then if you want to, I had a logo
[1:38:33] Speaker 1: with it, with Benihana's.
[1:38:35] Speaker 2: And guess whose face was there? Mine. No fucking logo.
[1:38:40] Speaker 1: Motherfucker, you know my face with the chef hat.
[1:38:43] Speaker 2: Is that Benihana's gift? No, Benihana's collab with me. So
[1:38:49] Speaker 2: the original is a Benihana shoe with my face in that.
[1:38:53] Speaker 2: So you had the Benihana's plug back in your head, Dan. Man,
[1:38:57] Speaker 2: I'm just creative. Okay.
[1:38:59] Speaker 3: We see. We see every day.
[1:39:02] Speaker 2: There's a lot of ways you can be creative.
[1:39:04] Speaker 1: Like what they're doing now, I'm 05. I collabed with
[1:39:08] Speaker 1: my shoe. I did.
[1:39:11] Speaker 2: Halo.
[1:39:11] Speaker 1: So Microsoft made a shoe. Slam Magazine, as you know. Hey, Slam,
[1:39:15] Speaker 1: you put me on the cover. I want you to
[1:39:17] Speaker 1: create a shoe colorway. I got 20 shoe colorways coming out,
[1:39:21] Speaker 1: and then I hand-picked who I want.
[1:39:25] Speaker 2: So we asked the chat, do you like the move
[1:39:27] Speaker 2: by Converse and SGA? 69% said that they did like
[1:39:31] Speaker 2: the move by Converse. Shout-out to SGA. Shout-out to Converse.

[1:41:59] Speaker 2: range of topics. Basketball players have diverse interests. Basketball players
[1:42:04] Speaker 2: have outside lives.
[1:42:05] Speaker 5: The moment I got kicked off the ends, I said,
[1:42:07] Speaker 5: I'm all in on the basketball shit.
[1:42:10] Speaker 2: Yes. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.
[1:42:12] Speaker 3: I'm not.
[1:42:15] Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.
[1:42:19] Speaker 2: I'm not. Shout out to Rose Sparks. We appreciate y'all.
[1:42:22] Speaker 1: Appreciate you sending Gil all the road that he can handle.
[1:42:26] Speaker 2: But let's talk about Los Angeles Lakers, a topic we
[1:42:31] Speaker 2: do not cover at all on the show. Today is
[1:42:33] Speaker 2: the start of a very tough stretch for the Lakers.
[1:42:36] Speaker 2: Six games in eight days. Let's take a look at
[1:42:38] Speaker 2: the schedule.
[1:42:40] Speaker 3: Nasty.
[1:42:40] Speaker 2: Ron actually talked about it earlier. He's not playing, as
[1:42:44] Speaker 2: you know, taking his customary March break to get ready
[1:42:47] Speaker 2: for the playoffs. But a few weeks ago, prior to
[1:42:49] Speaker 2: his injury, Ron highlighted the upcoming slate on his IG
[1:42:52] Speaker 2: story saying, This is insane. Insane in all caps with
[1:42:55] Speaker 2: several exclamation points after it. This is an uncommon amount
[1:42:59] Speaker 2: of games in a short time in today's NBA. But
[1:43:02] Speaker 2: the Lakers schedule was changed due to the wildfires that
[1:43:04] Speaker 2: impacted Los Angeles back in January. For context, ESPN Analytics
[1:43:08] Speaker 2: says the Lakers have the hardest remaining schedule in the NBA.
[1:43:12] Speaker 2: Lakers are on the road at Milwaukee, then at Denver
[1:43:15] Speaker 2: as a reunion with Hot Pockets tonight.
[1:43:18] Speaker 3: Phoenix had the hardest schedule.
[1:43:20] Speaker 2: Followed by another back-to-back at home against the Suns and
[1:43:22] Speaker 2: Spurs after one day off. Then they host the Bucs
[1:43:25] Speaker 2: and Nuggets after another day off. That's crazy. Two L's
[1:43:29] Speaker 2: to the Bucs. That's crazy. Two L's to the Lakers.
[1:43:32] Speaker 5: So, looking at this slate of games, six games on
[1:43:35] Speaker 5: the schedule.
[1:43:36] Speaker 2: Eight days. What are expectations for the Lakers during the
[1:43:40] Speaker 2: six games and eight-day stretch? One and five. Brandon, that's
[1:43:46] Speaker 2: not optimistic, sir. I mean, no brawn. That's fair. I
[1:43:49] Speaker 2: just think with no brawn, I think, you know. I'm
[1:43:52] Speaker 2: mad at it. One and five? I'm mad at it.
[1:43:56] Speaker 2: One and five, two and four. I say two and four.
[1:43:58] Speaker 2: I say two and four. It doesn't do anything for us.
[1:44:02] Speaker 2: Why are you not mad at that just for the
[1:44:04] Speaker 2: fans watching at home? You already got her Lakers fan.
[1:44:07] Speaker 2: Because if six seed win all eight games, we got
[1:44:12] Speaker 2: to lose all of ours for us to be the
[1:44:13] Speaker 2: six seed. So we get a win. We're still in fifth,
[1:44:16] Speaker 2: fourth playing the same team. Then Bron comes back, we good.
[1:44:20] Speaker 2: It's all math. You don't mind being fourth, fifth place
[1:44:22] Speaker 2: in Adam Silver's Western Conference?
[1:44:25] Speaker 1: No, I don't mind playing Houston. The Houston Rockets. I
[1:44:30] Speaker 1: do not mind playing Houston. I don't want to jump
[1:44:33] Speaker 1: up to third to play Golden State.
[1:44:36] Speaker 2: No threat.
[1:44:37] Speaker 1: Who not a threat?
[1:44:40] Speaker 2: I don't want to play... Steph Curry? Yeah, I don't
[1:44:42] Speaker 2: trust Steph.
[1:44:43] Speaker 1: I don't want to play them. I don't want to
[1:44:44] Speaker 1: play them. I don't want to play Minnesota. No, I
[1:44:47] Speaker 1: take them young motherfucking boys over there. What's wrong with y'all?
[1:44:50] Speaker 2: No, I agree. Everything gets strategy, though, right now. You
[1:44:52] Speaker 2: don't want to get caught up in that room. It
[1:44:54] Speaker 2: was a game five play. Game six, Clay. Missing Marge Braun.
[1:45:03] Speaker 2: Game six, Clay. Missing Marge Braun, baby. We know when
[1:45:05] Speaker 2: to take off. 0 for 6. They're not winning a game? 0-4.
[1:45:12] Speaker 3: They're going to win at least two.
[1:45:13] Speaker 2: You think Luka's going to play six straight games? They
[1:45:14] Speaker 2: beat San Antonio, for sure. No, no, Luka's not playing
[1:45:16] Speaker 2: six straight. They beat San Antonio. Luka's playing four.
[1:45:19] Speaker 3: They will lose the game, Luka.
[1:45:21] Speaker 2: They beat San Antonio. Two seeds still in play. You
[1:45:23] Speaker 2: don't want the two seed to take on the playing winner? No.
[1:45:25] Speaker 1: No. You want the Houston Rockets. I want the Houston
[1:45:29] Speaker 1: Rockets and I want OKC. I want the two youngest teams.
[1:45:32] Speaker 2: That is fair. Can you put that caption back up,
[1:45:34] Speaker 2: the schedule? Can we put the LeBron?
[1:45:35] Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no. I don't want the playing team.
[1:45:37] Speaker 1: I don't want the playing team. Look at who the
[1:45:39] Speaker 1: fuck down in the playing team.
[1:45:40] Speaker 2: Clippers, Saks, Dallas.
[1:45:42] Speaker 5: San Antonio the only team, maybe, and they not playing bad.
[1:45:45] Speaker 2: San Antonio. They'll beat San Antonio. They won't beat San Antonio.
[1:45:49] Speaker 2: They might beat Phoenix. No. They're not beating Phoenix right now.
[1:45:53] Speaker 2: They got power. They got power. All those players got...
[1:45:56] Speaker 2: All those teams got good players.
[1:45:57] Speaker 3: That's a good play.
[1:46:00] Speaker 2: Beat Milwaukee in the last game. But Luka don't play.
[1:46:04] Speaker 5: I'm going to that Milwaukee game. They don't win none
[1:46:09] Speaker 5: of them.
[1:46:09] Speaker 2: Brandon, you will be at the Milwaukee game? For sure.
[1:46:11] Speaker 2: Will you be dancing courtside? No, it's here. The game's
[1:46:14] Speaker 2: right there. There we go.
[1:46:17] Speaker 3: Tee that up quick.
[1:46:18] Speaker 2: There we go. We have it. We have it just
[1:46:19] Speaker 2: ready to go.
[1:46:20] Speaker 3: I didn't even ask that.
[1:46:21] Speaker 2: That was unplanned, unscripted. All right. Shout out Paolo. Always ready.
[1:46:26] Speaker 2: Quick on the draw. I know, right? God damn. I'm
[1:46:29] Speaker 2: a pitcher too. I know. Mr. B was hitting it, though,
[1:46:32] Speaker 2: for those who don't recall. So, Gil, you like the
[1:46:34] Speaker 2: Lakers in that fourth-fifth spot. Do you care if it's
[1:46:36] Speaker 2: fourth or fifth? Would you rather have home court advantage
[1:46:38] Speaker 2: against the Rockets or you don't mind going to Houston?
[1:46:40] Speaker 2: Pop it on. Brother, Lakers and Houston. That's a Laker.
[1:46:43] Speaker 2: It's Lakers and Houston.
[1:46:44] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:46:45] Speaker 2: That's not going to be old.
[1:46:48] Speaker 1: I mean, we can sit here and pretend that Houston
[1:46:51] Speaker 1: has a chance against LeBron and Luka. Okay, if we
[1:46:54] Speaker 1: want to just have a conversation.
[1:46:56] Speaker 2: But if we're going to look at it, if.
[1:46:58] Speaker 1: You're telling LeBron and Luka and that team, which road
[1:47:02] Speaker 1: do you want to go, four or five, play them,
[1:47:06] Speaker 1: who hasn't been in the playoffs. They're unestablished as individual players,
[1:47:12] Speaker 1: as really a team. them and then OKC versus trying
[1:47:16] Speaker 1: to get to the two, three, play against one of
[1:47:20] Speaker 1: these teams down here who got veterans, got champions.
[1:47:23] Speaker 2: You're talking about playing against a fucking Golden State of Minnesota,
[1:47:26] Speaker 2: a Clipper team, a SAC, a Dallas. Well, we'll play
[1:47:29] Speaker 2: a Dallas. We'll play a Dallas.
[1:47:31] Speaker 1: But a Phoenix Suns, then play Denver, then play OKC.
[1:47:36] Speaker 2: Yeah, nah, that's a harder road.
[1:47:37] Speaker 4: He's talking about like when they went to the Western
[1:47:39] Speaker 4: Conference when they played Memphis first.
[1:47:40] Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No problem.
[1:47:43] Speaker 2: What happened after that, Swaggy, if you don't remember? Just like,
[1:47:46] Speaker 2: just like. I don't want the Warriors. Make it short.
[1:47:48] Speaker 2: Y'all had AD, though. You know what I'm saying?
[1:47:52] Speaker 4: I get what he's talking about.
[1:47:54] Speaker 1: Like, you see the Blazers game last night. We're watching it. So, Blazers,
[1:47:59] Speaker 1: it's 1-11, 1-10. Blazers had four possessions to score.
[1:48:08] Speaker 2: Chuck three. Chuck three. Came down Chuck three.
[1:48:12] Speaker 1: Then tried to force a shot going inside. Like, Those
[1:48:15] Speaker 1: two threes, they got, like, someone got the ball. He's
[1:48:17] Speaker 1: right here for the middie. He backs all the way
[1:48:19] Speaker 1: up the chucker.
[1:48:20] Speaker 2: Three. Just get the two points.
[1:48:22] Speaker 1: Get just, like, you know, these are the, this is
[1:48:25] Speaker 1: what young, the young teams do.
[1:48:27] Speaker 2: They don't understand how to win yet.
[1:48:29] Speaker 1: You want those mistakes in the playoffs where they're sitting
[1:48:32] Speaker 1: there doing a bunch of stuff that veterans would never
[1:48:34] Speaker 1: really do.
[1:48:35] Speaker 2: So, Good, do you feel like the Lakers are the
[1:48:37] Speaker 2: only team with that thought process? Are there other teams
[1:48:39] Speaker 2: in the West who are trying to eye in that
[1:48:40] Speaker 2: fourth or fifth spot so they can get the thunder
[1:48:43] Speaker 2: in the second round?
[1:48:44] Speaker 1: I'm sure Golden State is sitting there trying to figure
[1:48:46] Speaker 1: out how to get out of Denver's way and trying
[1:48:49] Speaker 1: to figure.
[1:48:49] Speaker 2: He don't care who they got.
[1:48:50] Speaker 1: I know he don't care, but it's still Jokic or
[1:48:53] Speaker 1: do we play Memphis?
[1:48:56] Speaker 2: Yoga's your Memphis, which one you picking? Don't matter. I'm
[1:48:58] Speaker 2: an NBA champion. I'm ready for whatever.
[1:49:00] Speaker 1: You was an NBA champion a couple years ago.
[1:49:03] Speaker 6: No, I'm saying we got Jimmy over here. We've been hooping.
[1:49:06] Speaker 6: Why would I be scared of anybody?
[1:49:08] Speaker 2: We've been here before. Let's go. If I'm going to state,
[1:49:14] Speaker 2: why would I care? We was already written off in
[1:49:16] Speaker 2: the beginning.
[1:49:17] Speaker 6: Now we made a trade, and we was 11th, and
[1:49:19] Speaker 6: now we in sixth?
[1:49:20] Speaker 2: Anybody can get it.
[1:49:21] Speaker 1: You know what this sounds like? I'm just being honest.
[1:49:24] Speaker 1: This sounds like everybody who was fighting Mike Tyson.
[1:49:28] Speaker 2: When he first came out. I ain't scared. Yeah, I know,
[1:49:31] Speaker 2: but we know what this is going to end like. Ding, ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding.
[1:49:37] Speaker 2: Have you been watching Golden State been playing? Against who?
[1:49:39] Speaker 2: You talking about Golden State. Against the Lakers? No, Denver
[1:49:43] Speaker 2: or playing against Memphis. I don't think the Warriors want
[1:49:46] Speaker 2: to do that.
[1:49:46] Speaker 6: He said, like, we should be trying to, I mean,
[1:49:48] Speaker 6: the Golden State Warriors should be trying to play Memphis.
[1:49:50] Speaker 2: I said it don't matter. Yeah, it don't matter for them.
[1:49:53] Speaker 5: At this point.
[1:49:53] Speaker 2: Because Denver ain't the same like they used to be.
[1:49:57] Speaker 2: I mean, y'all got that guy, and we got another
[1:49:59] Speaker 2: guy that can get it going, too. That's a good fake.
[1:50:01] Speaker 2: That's a great fake.
[1:50:02] Speaker 5: Yeah, because MPJ, hey, Murray last night, 12 points.
[1:50:07] Speaker 2: Stinks.
[1:50:08] Speaker 5: MPJ, 10 points.
[1:50:11] Speaker 2: That's a guard still. Stinks. I don't trust them, too.
[1:50:15] Speaker 2: I don't trust them.
[1:50:16] Speaker 5: And then Gordon don't come in, so all you got
[1:50:18] Speaker 5: is Westbrook and Joker, really. You can't depend on them,
[1:50:21] Speaker 5: but they're not enough.
[1:50:22] Speaker 2: When you watch them, they are not as... as people
[1:50:32] Speaker 2: would think. They don't... What Yoakish.
[1:50:34] Speaker 1: Needs, they do not have the pieces he.
[1:50:38] Speaker 2: Actually needs to stop you from doubling, man. Like, we're gonna.
[1:50:42] Speaker 1: They're sitting here like, Westbrook's gonna have to be on fire.
[1:50:45] Speaker 1: He's gonna have to hit a few threes before he
[1:50:46] Speaker 1: even look at him. Christian Brown, you're gonna have to
[1:50:49] Speaker 1: hit a couple threes for us to look at you.
[1:50:51] Speaker 1: Peyton Watson, you're gonna have to hit something. If all
[1:50:54] Speaker 1: three of you niggas is on the court, oh, have fun.
[1:50:57] Speaker 1: Christian Brown included in that three.
[1:50:58] Speaker 2: Yeah, we want you guys to shoot the threes. We
[1:51:01] Speaker 2: want to see what you can do. MPJ, MPJ, listen,
[1:51:04] Speaker 2: we know you're.
[1:51:05] Speaker 1: The three-point shooter, so we're going to deny you.
[1:51:07] Speaker 2: No KCP.
[1:51:08] Speaker 5: But I think they put in a different offense without
[1:51:11] Speaker 5: seeing a wrinkle that allows those cuts to get him
[1:51:15] Speaker 5: those easy assists.
[1:51:17] Speaker 2: They're like double, triple cuts.
[1:51:19] Speaker 5: So now they're not relying on the three as much
[1:51:22] Speaker 5: because they.
[1:51:22] Speaker 2: Don't got the three-point shooter. Right?
[1:51:24] Speaker 5: But if MPJ, who got paid a lot of money
[1:51:29] Speaker 5: to give me ten points, right? But then you got
[1:51:32] Speaker 5: Bubba Murray, who we thought was going to jump out
[1:51:34] Speaker 5: here and be real Robin, the guy who's supposed to
[1:51:37] Speaker 5: take us over the top every playoffs. He don't look
[1:51:40] Speaker 5: like he want to play no more. Like watching it
[1:51:43] Speaker 5: in real time, he don't look like. He look like
[1:51:44] Speaker 5: he let Russ come in and fuck up his whole shit.
[1:51:48] Speaker 2: I will put Russ at the point, put him at
[1:51:49] Speaker 2: the two.
[1:51:50] Speaker 5: He trying it. That's what they did last night.
[1:51:52] Speaker 1: No, last night it was him trying to make plays,
[1:51:54] Speaker 1: and then he's throwing to Russ, and Russ.
[1:51:55] Speaker 2: Is the one in the three.
[1:51:56] Speaker 5: But Gordon didn't play, so they started Russ. Yeah, they
[1:51:59] Speaker 5: started Russ.
[1:52:01] Speaker 2: No, Christian. And Russ has been starting, but Christian Brown
[1:52:04] Speaker 2: came in, but... To Gil's point, Jamal Murray, I think,
[1:52:07] Speaker 2: was initiating the offense.
[1:52:08] Speaker 1: He's initiating the offense, and he has two not great
[1:52:12] Speaker 1: shooters that he's relying to.
[1:52:14] Speaker 2: And that's the problem.
[1:52:15] Speaker 1: There was plays where he went in this normal play
[1:52:17] Speaker 1: where everyone comes in, he throws that to the corner,
[1:52:20] Speaker 1: he's sitting there, and then he's just throwing up some shit.
[1:52:22] Speaker 2: I'm like, see, I can't trust the.
[1:52:25] Speaker 5: The option that Denver has when he's doing that is
[1:52:27] Speaker 5: he's supposed to make a play. He's not supposed to
[1:52:30] Speaker 5: pass that. That's why they got Russ in. So when
[1:52:33] Speaker 5: he's making the pass, Russ is surprised. because he's not
[1:52:36] Speaker 5: over here to get the pass. So he's usually doing
[1:52:38] Speaker 5: the pick and roll with Joker, if you remember, them two.
[1:52:41] Speaker 5: So what they're doing is they're taking that away from him,
[1:52:44] Speaker 5: forcing him to give it up, and once he gives
[1:52:46] Speaker 5: it up, he don't get it back, and he's not
[1:52:49] Speaker 5: useful after that.
[1:52:50] Speaker 1: I'll do the Russ, what's his name, pick and roll,
[1:52:52] Speaker 1: so when Russ has.
[1:52:53] Speaker 5: To pass it, there's Murray with the ball.
[1:52:57] Speaker 2: Murray's my shooter.
[1:52:58] Speaker 4: I know we say Murray's not an all-star, but Why
[1:53:02] Speaker 4: don't he become, like, why he's never in that conversation?
[1:53:05] Speaker 2: Like, he averaged 21 points at number two. But you
[1:53:07] Speaker 2: put Gorlin, you put Williams. You see the motherfuckers? You
[1:53:11] Speaker 2: see the motherfuckers in the West? You see the motherfuckers
[1:53:14] Speaker 2: in the West? Like, you see all these people You
[1:53:20] Speaker 2: see the motherfuckers in the West?
[1:53:22] Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, but this been before that.
[1:53:24] Speaker 2: You see the motherfuckers that's been in the West? Think
[1:53:26] Speaker 2: about the West guard.
[1:53:27] Speaker 1: You got Shea, you got Luka, you have Curry.
[1:53:32] Speaker 2: But Luka didn't make it this year. No, I'm just saying, but...
[1:53:35] Speaker 2: I get what you're saying, but... Every first team get
[1:53:38] Speaker 2: their second person in. Before that, it was Dame. It
[1:53:40] Speaker 2: was Dame. Not Dame and James Harden.
[1:53:43] Speaker 3: James Harden, Darren Fox.
[1:53:44] Speaker 2: It's rough down this motherfucker. Every first team. So, Jamal
[1:53:49] Speaker 2: Murray's averaged 20 plus points per game in his last
[1:53:51] Speaker 2: four active seasons. That's what I'm saying. He's never got
[1:53:54] Speaker 2: that high. And they've been like one, two, or three.
[1:53:57] Speaker 2: Got that Tony Parker.
[1:53:57] Speaker 4: Like, why only one person from Denver always does it?
[1:54:01] Speaker 2: People don't talk about it. But people don't talk about it.
[1:54:03] Speaker 2: Question for what you got to say about the Warriors.
[1:54:05] Speaker 2: People never bring up Tony Parker being one of the
[1:54:07] Speaker 2: best players. He's all-time great, nigga.
[1:54:08] Speaker 1: No, but is he all-time great outside of the team success?
[1:54:13] Speaker 1: You take away the five rings.
[1:54:14] Speaker 2: He got more playoff points, man. He got more playoff
[1:54:15] Speaker 2: points than anybody. No, I'm just saying, if you take
[1:54:16] Speaker 2: away the five rings, what does he stand on? His
[1:54:20] Speaker 2: field goal percentage? As a point guard? He got more
[1:54:23] Speaker 2: player points?
[1:54:25] Speaker 5: I think he has the highest field goal percentage as
[1:54:26] Speaker 5: a point guard.
[1:54:27] Speaker 2: I want to go back to something you two said.
[1:54:28] Speaker 2: As the Warriors, you don't care who you're playing, right?
[1:54:30] Speaker 2: As a champion, you don't care. But are you mindful of,
[1:54:33] Speaker 2: I want a five-game, six-game series versus I don't want,
[1:54:36] Speaker 2: I could beat anybody, but I want to take them
[1:54:37] Speaker 2: to seven and now I'm tired going into that next round. Well,
[1:54:40] Speaker 2: I want someone, what's the easiest path? Is that on
[1:54:42] Speaker 2: your mind at all as you're trying to map this out? Yeah,
[1:54:45] Speaker 2: I mean, for sure. Like, yeah, we could beat anybody,
[1:54:47] Speaker 2: but shit, if I got to play 7-7, then, you know,
[1:54:49] Speaker 2: roll into that next round.
[1:54:50] Speaker 6: I mean, I just think the way the Warriors have
[1:54:52] Speaker 6: been playing, like, you know, they've been struggling. So now
[1:54:55] Speaker 6: that they on the up and up, it's like, well,
[1:54:58] Speaker 6: we not going to just start losing games and just
[1:55:00] Speaker 6: start taking it like, you know, like, hey, well, let's
[1:55:03] Speaker 6: just see.
[1:55:03] Speaker 2: Who's going to be there.
[1:55:04] Speaker 6: It's like, man, we got to keep winning. Like, we
[1:55:05] Speaker 6: got Jimmy Butler off the trade. He's going to be
[1:55:09] Speaker 6: on one. So, if I'm going to state, and Steph
[1:55:12] Speaker 6: said he won his fifth ring, whoever wants it.
[1:55:14] Speaker 2: Let's go. Like, this is hard. That's called a dummy mission, though.
[1:55:20] Speaker 5: How?
[1:55:20] Speaker 2: Because think about Boston's road to the championship last year.
[1:55:27] Speaker 1: Did they even sweat? We was talking about, oh, they
[1:55:30] Speaker 1: don't look, they don't even look. What was Dallas' road
[1:55:34] Speaker 1: to the championship?
[1:55:36] Speaker 2: Right?
[1:55:37] Speaker 1: Fighting for nails? Like, they ain't fighting for their life.
[1:55:41] Speaker 1: You gotta fight for your life.
[1:55:43] Speaker 2: This is a post-season. This is a post-season. You're fighting
[1:55:46] Speaker 2: for your life. She's rested. Who has a better chance now?
[1:55:50] Speaker 1: You sitting there limping into the motherfucking chair machine.
[1:55:52] Speaker 2: We got it.
[1:55:53] Speaker 1: We're going 4-1 you.
[1:55:55] Speaker 2: But you're forgetting. We're going 4-1 you. You don't have
[1:55:58] Speaker 2: no 4-1. You're on an empty tank.
[1:56:00] Speaker 5: They've already done it, though. The Warriors have already proven
[1:56:03] Speaker 5: to do it.
[1:56:04] Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no. Not the Warriors. Two players.
[1:56:09] Speaker 2: have proven to do it. One's gone.
[1:56:12] Speaker 5: The rest of them people are gone. Two of them
[1:56:14] Speaker 5: are gone. Clay and Jordan Poole. But I'm saying Steph
[1:56:19] Speaker 5: has a spirit to know that even with that team,
[1:56:21] Speaker 5: they were counted out. And he said, man, you know what?
[1:56:25] Speaker 5: This is the best championship because nobody thought we could
[1:56:28] Speaker 5: fucking do that shit. This is the one that means
[1:56:30] Speaker 5: the most. And this one, if he wins this one...
[1:56:33] Speaker 5: It could be even more, because it's like, we really
[1:56:36] Speaker 5: counted them out.
[1:56:37] Speaker 2: Like, burn and build and get out. Like, get out.
[1:56:40] Speaker 4: But it's only one team in the West that... You
[1:56:43] Speaker 4: would want to play the first time. It's Houston you're saying,
[1:56:45] Speaker 4: but every other team is good.
[1:56:47] Speaker 1: I'd rather play Memphis. I'd rather play as a team.
[1:56:53] Speaker 1: Memphis is not going to.
[1:56:54] Speaker 2: Make us work like seven games. Jokic, we're going to
[1:56:57] Speaker 2: have to work seven games. Memphis don't like the Warriors?
[1:56:59] Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck what they like. They got
[1:57:02] Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies? They don't like the Warriors? Who can score
[1:57:05] Speaker 2: 50 on there? But they need to score 50. Who
[1:57:08] Speaker 2: can score 50? I mean, I'll probably die if it
[1:57:10] Speaker 2: gets hot. No. They ain't know. They play as a
[1:57:15] Speaker 2: nice little group. They always have, though. It's grit and grind.
[1:57:19] Speaker 2: That's to get it out the mud over there. They
[1:57:22] Speaker 2: got Jimmy Butler, too, man. He's the only one. He
[1:57:25] Speaker 2: been there twice?
[1:57:26] Speaker 4: They got to keep winning.
[1:57:28] Speaker 3: Momentum for them is going to be everything.
[1:57:30] Speaker 5: Let's keep this moving. I ain't going to sleep on
[1:57:31] Speaker 5: the Warriors. I ain't going to sleep on them. Now
[1:57:33] Speaker 5: that they made the adjustments, I was like, yo, get
[1:57:36] Speaker 5: the fuck out of here.
[1:57:37] Speaker 2: That championship year, what was that? 21-22?
[1:57:38] Speaker 1: I'm just saying, they there, so don't... You got to
[1:57:43] Speaker 1: play them.
[1:57:43] Speaker 2: 11-6 is different. Huh?
[1:57:46] Speaker 5: Going from 11 to 6 is way different.
[1:57:49] Speaker 2: And we got 20 games left? Oh, we got to
[1:57:51] Speaker 2: win every game right now. They can get to three. Mm-hmm.
[1:57:54] Speaker 2: Let's talk little Lakers. So Bron out for extended stretch,
[1:57:58] Speaker 2: dealing with the groin strain. How much pressure is on
[1:58:00] Speaker 2: Luka to carry the Lakers right now? Or is there
[1:58:02] Speaker 2: any pressure at.
[1:58:03] Speaker 4: All on Luka?
[1:58:07] Speaker 2: Pressure?
[1:58:08] Speaker 3: He just got there.
[1:58:10] Speaker 2: They're here now.
[1:58:12] Speaker 3: They're in second right.
[1:58:13] Speaker 2: Now, right? Third. Fourth.
[1:58:15] Speaker 3: Don't let them fall.
[1:58:17] Speaker 2: Fourth. Lakers fans very demanding. They've stumbled a little bit.
[1:58:23] Speaker 2: Grizzlies and Nuggets jumped him. Pressure? I don't know.
[1:58:27] Speaker 3: He just got there.
[1:58:29] Speaker 2: Half game in front of the Rockets.
[1:58:30] Speaker 3: He just got there. Pressure for what?
[1:58:32] Speaker 2: You got pressure on you? No. You don't got no pressure? No.
[1:58:36] Speaker 2: You just got there. You know you got pressure.
[1:58:39] Speaker 3: Hey, I got pressure to perform at the highest level
[1:58:43] Speaker 3: to my capability.
[1:58:44] Speaker 2: You got to hit that first shot. Luka got pressure,
[1:58:47] Speaker 2: and you know it.
[1:58:49] Speaker 3: I'm not pressure.
[1:58:50] Speaker 2: Major pressure.
[1:58:52] Speaker 3: Well, we can revisit this when... This little span comes
[1:58:55] Speaker 3: and goes. This little span is tough.
[1:58:58] Speaker 5: He's in Lakers Nation right now.
[1:59:02] Speaker 2: He didn't ask for this. But it's here. We asked
[1:59:05] Speaker 2: for this. You mean he didn't ask for it. We
[1:59:08] Speaker 2: asked for this.
[1:59:10] Speaker 3: Or maybe he did. We don't know.
[1:59:11] Speaker 2: He traded me over. We don't know.
[1:59:14] Speaker 3: We don't really know what happened. Yeah, man.
[1:59:17] Speaker 2: Presinos are profitable. Pressure for Luka? No. That's what I said.
[1:59:22] Speaker 2: It ain't no pressure for me, no. Pressure for what?
[1:59:25] Speaker 2: You just said 0 and 6.
[1:59:26] Speaker 1: If you're saying we're going to be in 0 and 6,
[1:59:30] Speaker 1: God damn it, I have no pressure.
[1:59:31] Speaker 3: No pressure at all.
[1:59:32] Speaker 1: I went 1 and 5. I did better than you thought.
[1:59:35] Speaker 1: But he's saying 0 and 6. But if they go 0-6,
[1:59:37] Speaker 1: odds are going to be on Luka right now.
[1:59:39] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not the type of pressure you want. If
[1:59:41] Speaker 2: you're supposed to be the Luka for the future, I'm
[1:59:42] Speaker 2: supposed to be building this Lakers team for the future.
[1:59:45] Speaker 2: You're the person we're building around. No, it's not. We
[1:59:47] Speaker 2: just got there.
[1:59:48] Speaker 3: In the middle of the night, they.
[1:59:50] Speaker 2: Dropped the ball. But you're here. Luka.
[1:59:54] Speaker 3: Put the pressure.
[1:59:55] Speaker 2: Listen.
[1:59:56] Speaker 1: If you're going to put the pressure on me, say
[1:59:58] Speaker 1: some shit like 5-1, 4-2. And then if I'm failing
[2:00:02] Speaker 1: by that, then you'll be like, oh, so you can't
[2:00:04] Speaker 1: do it.
[2:00:04] Speaker 2: You look at the schedule and say, y'all supposed to
[2:00:06] Speaker 2: go 0-6. Well, bitch, ain't no pressure now. Everybody just
[2:00:09] Speaker 2: go out there and play. Get one win. We exceeded
[2:00:11] Speaker 2: what they thought.
[2:00:13] Speaker 1: Eh.
[2:00:15] Speaker 2: We did exceed expectations. We want more than you thought
[2:00:18] Speaker 2: we were.
[2:00:19] Speaker 3: This little span is going to be, and it's going
[2:00:21] Speaker 3: to be hard.
[2:00:21] Speaker 2: You know what?
[2:00:22] Speaker 5: I like that, because if we could just lay the
[2:00:25] Speaker 5: finish line at one win, and you cool with that,
[2:00:28] Speaker 5: we cool with that. So 0 for 6, 1 for 6,
[2:00:31] Speaker 5: and you.
[2:00:32] Speaker 2: Cool with that. Actually, you know what? We cool with that.
[2:00:37] Speaker 2: It's a good time. Nah, it is pressure, dog. It's
[2:00:39] Speaker 2: a lot of pressure. This is the second half of
[2:00:42] Speaker 2: the season. This is L.A. The postseason is coming. Bro,
[2:00:45] Speaker 2: we need to see what you about to do. We
[2:00:47] Speaker 2: know what he about to do.
[2:00:48] Speaker 1: Luca?
[2:00:48] Speaker 2: We know what he do. Why do I have to
[2:00:51] Speaker 2: prove myself?
[2:00:52] Speaker 5: Why all of a sudden does Luca have to prove
[2:00:54] Speaker 5: himself to do anything?
[2:00:55] Speaker 3: He's been proven.
[2:01:01] Speaker 2: He's proved it.
[2:01:02] Speaker 1: He proved he wasn't 270.
[2:01:04] Speaker 2: He wasn't. He's done proved that. He doesn't shut them up.
[2:01:07] Speaker 2: He looks very slender. I will say that.
[2:01:08] Speaker 1: I mean, but I'm just saying he's came out and
[2:01:10] Speaker 1: he's let you know what's happening.
[2:01:11] Speaker 2: But he's still Luka.
[2:01:12] Speaker 5: He still don't play defense.
[2:01:15] Speaker 2: He still don't have accountability. I play offense. I pass.
[2:01:16] Speaker 2: None of that other shit.
[2:01:17] Speaker 1: Don't try to use the shit that I got into
[2:01:20] Speaker 1: the championship doing.
[2:01:22] Speaker 2: No, no, no, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't
[2:01:24] Speaker 2: do that. No, no, they defense got in there. You
[2:01:28] Speaker 2: got to play defense. That loves you. Not the motherfucking
[2:01:32] Speaker 2: reference 3399. Somebody has to stop somebody. They couldn't stop me. Yeah.
[2:01:37] Speaker 2: We stopped you. You at home. We stopped you. You
[2:01:40] Speaker 2: at home. What are you talking about?
[2:01:41] Speaker 1: You didn't stop me to get to the championship. You
[2:01:44] Speaker 1: stopped me in the championship. You didn't stop me from
[2:01:46] Speaker 1: getting to the championship.
[2:01:48] Speaker 6: Right, that's because we have other players over there that's
[2:01:50] Speaker 6: playing defense and taking a lot of slack off.
[2:01:51] Speaker 2: I'm not talking about the championship.
[2:01:53] Speaker 1: Whatever your complaint is today, I got a team to
[2:01:56] Speaker 1: the championship with that.
[2:01:57] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:01:58] Speaker 5: And I'm telling you right now, Kyrie Irving.
[2:02:02] Speaker 1: My team today is better than Dallas last year.
[2:02:05] Speaker 2: Nah, not a chance. You crazy as fuck.
[2:02:07] Speaker 4: You must be high. You high as fuck.
[2:02:10] Speaker 2: We're about to find out, ain't we? We're about to
[2:02:13] Speaker 2: find out. He said the Lakers team is better than
[2:02:15] Speaker 2: the Dallas team.
[2:02:20] Speaker 1: The Laker team now is better than the Dallas team.
[2:02:24] Speaker 2: Okay, well, y'all better get to the finals then. I
[2:02:26] Speaker 2: want to see this shit. What you mean? You guys
[2:02:29] Speaker 2: are better than the team last year. You should make
[2:02:31] Speaker 2: it to the finals.
[2:02:31] Speaker 3: You should make it to the goddamn finals this year.
[2:02:33] Speaker 2: That's not how it works. That's not how it works.
[2:02:35] Speaker 2: But your team is better.
[2:02:36] Speaker 4: This ain't last year.
[2:02:38] Speaker 2: This is a new year. Look, I ain't moved a goalpost.
[2:02:41] Speaker 2: It's a new year. But your team is better. Your
[2:02:43] Speaker 2: team's got better, too. Your team's got better. But what?
[2:02:47] Speaker 2: Your team's better. But what?
[2:02:49] Speaker 3: He just got better.
[2:02:50] Speaker 2: Yeah, he better, but everybody else got better. But it
[2:02:52] Speaker 2: don't work like that. Who was better? Everybody in the
[2:02:54] Speaker 2: state is better. What team got better? Because Minnesota got worse.
[2:02:58] Speaker 2: And Memphis got worse. Did the Warriors get better? They
[2:03:02] Speaker 2: just got better. Warriors got better. I didn't ask when.
[2:03:04] Speaker 2: Memphis got better? Where they were last year? No, no, no.
[2:03:06] Speaker 2: I said no. Memphis got better. They got worse. Yeah.
[2:03:09] Speaker 2: But where they last year? They got better. They got better.
[2:03:12] Speaker 2: Did the Thunder get better? Golden State got better. At
[2:03:14] Speaker 2: the All-Star break, they got better. It don't matter. They
[2:03:16] Speaker 2: got better. You can't do the same thing.
[2:03:18] Speaker 6: So a lot of teams didn't get better this year.
[2:03:20] Speaker 6: So the Lakers got better than Dallas that went to
[2:03:22] Speaker 6: the finals.
[2:03:23] Speaker 2: This team should get to the finals. They should. 100%.
[2:03:25] Speaker 2: That's logic. That's not logic. Y'all got two of the
[2:03:29] Speaker 2: best players.
[2:03:29] Speaker 5: You got a better team than the Dallas team.
[2:03:32] Speaker 2: You should make it to the finals. Last year's team.
[2:03:35] Speaker 5: You have a better team than last year's team. That's
[2:03:38] Speaker 5: like you beat the Lakers to the finals.
[2:03:40] Speaker 2: And they got the goat, right? And they got the goat.
[2:03:42] Speaker 2: Come on, goat. Come on, go. Take him to the
[2:03:44] Speaker 2: promised land. And they got the goat. And his son.
[2:03:51] Speaker 1: If I beat him one-on-one, and you beat me one-on-one,
[2:03:55] Speaker 1: do you think you can beat him one-on-one because you
[2:03:57] Speaker 1: beat me and I beat him?
[2:03:58] Speaker 2: That's not how it works. Wait, say it again.
[2:04:00] Speaker 1: I bust his ass one-on-one. You bust my ass one-on-one.
[2:04:04] Speaker 1: Do you think you can beat him?
[2:04:06] Speaker 2: Why? Because I already beat you, and you beat him.
[2:04:09] Speaker 2: But that's a hard word. Oh, my Lord. Oh, my Lord.
[2:04:13] Speaker 2: I mean, yeah. Technically, yes, but you still got to play.
[2:04:16] Speaker 1: I know, but at the end of the day, he said, do.
[2:04:19] Speaker 2: He think he can see him?
[2:04:20] Speaker 3: So it's about measure, right?
[2:04:22] Speaker 2: He said, Joe, he said, Do you think I could?
[2:04:26] Speaker 2: He said yes.
[2:04:27] Speaker 3: Yeah, because he beat him.
[2:04:29] Speaker 1: But my skill level that got me to win over him,
[2:04:32] Speaker 1: that might not be his.
[2:04:33] Speaker 2: Skill level over him.
[2:04:35] Speaker 3: Exactly.
[2:04:35] Speaker 2: See, he... Think!
[2:04:37] Speaker 1: No, he said based on.
[2:04:40] Speaker 3: He thinks he can beat Nick anyway.
[2:04:42] Speaker 2: But in this example... This is what they're not understanding.
[2:04:45] Speaker 1: If he's a post-up player and he can't post me up,
[2:04:49] Speaker 1: he can post him up.
[2:04:50] Speaker 2: It's a different game. What does that mean? That's how
[2:04:53] Speaker 2: it works.
[2:04:53] Speaker 1: What you do against somebody don't make you better than
[2:04:55] Speaker 1: somebody else. The reason why I don't try.
[2:04:59] Speaker 2: A lot of people do that.
[2:05:00] Speaker 1: But listen, if we're playing one-on-one, of course I'm going
[2:05:02] Speaker 1: to think I'm better than both.
[2:05:03] Speaker 2: I play both ends. I play both ends. I know
[2:05:05] Speaker 2: I'm better than both of y'all. Kat, I'll play both ends.
[2:05:12] Speaker 2: For one, I'm going to get a stop, and both
[2:05:17] Speaker 2: of y'all don't play these, so y'all can't guard me.
[2:05:18] Speaker 2: I can tell you this right now. If there's a referee... Man,
[2:05:22] Speaker 2: go get him. Hold on, hold on. I mean, we
[2:05:23] Speaker 2: can play... We can go right now.
[2:05:24] Speaker 1: Hey, no, no.
[2:05:25] Speaker 2: If there's a referee out there... You're too little. All
[2:05:33] Speaker 2: this shit right here. You're a little dude. That's fine.
[2:05:37] Speaker 2: You got to come back. You got to play defense.
[2:05:39] Speaker 2: You're a little dude. I'm going to get a stop. No,
[2:05:41] Speaker 2: you're not. You could get a stop just now. I
[2:05:44] Speaker 2: did get a stop. I did get a stop. What
[2:05:46] Speaker 2: are you talking about? I always get a stop on you.
[2:05:50] Speaker 2: I always get a stop on you. I get a
[2:05:52] Speaker 2: stop on both of y'all. What are you talking about?
[2:05:54] Speaker 2: All that posting up over here. Playing defense like this. Gil,
[2:05:59] Speaker 2: get off calf muscle poppy, please. Get off calf muscle poppy.
[2:06:03] Speaker 2: Calf muscle poppy?
[2:06:04] Speaker 4: You see the calf, Mr. B.
[2:06:05] Speaker 2: I see my calf. I got to stop it. You
[2:06:08] Speaker 2: see my calf.
[2:06:10] Speaker 1: If he don't get your ass up, dude.
[2:06:14] Speaker 3: Goddamn.
[2:06:15] Speaker 2: All in my nuts. All right.
[2:06:16] Speaker 3: Goddamn.
[2:06:17] Speaker 2: Too much. Get your ass down. Get for your chip.
[2:06:23] Speaker 2: He did that on purpose. That's why you need to
[2:06:25] Speaker 2: see it. Yeah, he did that on purpose. That's a
[2:06:27] Speaker 2: nice family photo. It's waterproof. You ain't got the waterproofing shirts?
[2:06:37] Speaker 2: You know, ski pants. You ain't got the waterproofing shirts?
[2:06:40] Speaker 2: Just put it in some rice, man. Throw it in
[2:06:43] Speaker 2: the fridge right now. Oh, you fucked the phone up.
[2:06:44] Speaker 2: Put it in there. Put it in a little bit.
[2:06:46] Speaker 2: We got some rice here.
[2:06:47] Speaker 1: What a black mother's day.
[2:06:50] Speaker 2: Put some tussin' on that shit. Rub a little tussin'
[2:06:53] Speaker 2: on it. Put some tussin' on that. Here, man. God damn. No, man.
[2:06:56] Speaker 1: I'm about to sit in the water. You got breakaway
[2:06:58] Speaker 1: pants on. That's breakaway pants.
[2:07:00] Speaker 4: Breakaway is when you take them off.
[2:07:02] Speaker 2: You got this waterproof. Come on, man. Stop. Damn, man.
[2:07:05] Speaker 2: You know it's going to dry up in a minute.
[2:07:06] Speaker 3: It's always so.
[2:07:07] Speaker 2: Like, if you want this check, you got to sit down.
[2:07:08] Speaker 4: I need a towel.
[2:07:09] Speaker 5: You already wet back there. My balls is wet. That's
[2:07:12] Speaker 5: all Hennessy and Red Bull on the floor.
[2:07:14] Speaker 7: The worst thing you can do is peel your stuff
[2:07:16] Speaker 7: and no step of the right.
[2:07:18] Speaker 2: Just a little. Shit just dripping down when you little. Well,
[2:07:22] Speaker 2: I never urinated myself when I was doing Mr. B,
[2:07:24] Speaker 2: but if I had, I wouldn't understand. I'm not drunk.
[2:07:27] Speaker 2: I have not drinking anything. It's Red Bull. Ladies and gentlemen,
[2:07:31] Speaker 2: this is Gale's Arena, where anything can happen. So before
[2:07:35] Speaker 2: we continue, we were talking Lakers. As a reminder, me
[2:07:38] Speaker 2: and Gil will be doing a playback watch party tonight
[2:07:41] Speaker 2: for the Lakers-Bucks game. Go to playback.tv slash Gilbert Arenas
[2:07:45] Speaker 2: if you want to join the fun. Playback free to join.
[2:07:48] Speaker 2: Much better if you have a League Pass subscription, but
[2:07:50] Speaker 2: they will be giving away League Pass codes from time
[2:07:52] Speaker 2: to time as well. Game starts at 4.30 Pacific, 7.30 p.m. Eastern.
[2:07:57] Speaker 2: Don't meet us there. Beat us there. Lakers-Bucks live watch
[2:08:01] Speaker 2: party on playback tonight. So we talked about the Lakers.
[2:08:04] Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Mavs. Mavs fans had a tough
[2:08:07] Speaker 2: time lately after trading Luka. They have experienced a rash
[2:08:09] Speaker 2: of injuries trying to hold on to the final playing
[2:08:12] Speaker 2: spot in Adam Silver's Western Conference. At one point earlier
[2:08:14] Speaker 2: this week against the Suns, they only had seven available
[2:08:17] Speaker 2: players at once. making it difficult for Jason Kidd to
[2:08:20] Speaker 2: go to his bench, even when players were tired. Shout out, Timbs.
[2:08:24] Speaker 2: Mavs head coach Jason Kidd recapped what that was like. Oh,
[2:08:29] Speaker 2: never seen this.
[2:08:29] Speaker 10: Never been in a game that we could not take
[2:08:33] Speaker 10: someone out to rest them because we had no one
[2:08:36] Speaker 10: to put in. That's just, you know, the end of
[2:08:38] Speaker 10: the bench. Normally you can put someone in. If not
[2:08:41] Speaker 10: in clothes, they were in the back getting stitches or
[2:08:44] Speaker 10: could not move or walk. So it's tough. It's tough.
[2:08:48] Speaker 10: It is what it is, though. I mean, we got
[2:08:49] Speaker 10: to keep pushing forward.
[2:08:51] Speaker 2: So one person who has not lost faith in the
[2:08:54] Speaker 2: Mavs is Klay Thompson, one of the few remaining healthy
[2:08:58] Speaker 2: Mavericks players. Klay signed a three-year deal with the Mavs
[2:09:00] Speaker 2: this past offseason. While things were not going as planned
[2:09:03] Speaker 2: this year, Klay likes their chances in the near future.
[2:09:06] Speaker 2: Here's a recent quote from Klay. He said, I still
[2:09:08] Speaker 2: believe in this franchise. I'm here for two more seasons
[2:09:11] Speaker 2: after this. Klay's father, Michael Thompson, disagrees, says Klay is
[2:09:15] Speaker 2: stuck in purgatory. Klay, you should have listened to your
[2:09:18] Speaker 2: daddy and came to the Lakers. We've seen you at
[2:09:20] Speaker 2: the Sparks-Fever game. We told you what time it was.
[2:09:23] Speaker 2: You did not listen. Shout out Michael Thompson. Good man.
[2:09:27] Speaker 2: Do you share Klay's faith that the Mavs can turn
[2:09:28] Speaker 2: it around next season? Next season? Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
[2:09:33] Speaker 2: Thank you. Depends on who comes.
[2:09:36] Speaker 1: No, I mean, you still got your play. I mean, Kyrie,
[2:09:42] Speaker 1: he's missing next season, kind of.
[2:09:44] Speaker 2: Is he? What? I mean, you're talking about 10, 12 months. Yeah. But.
[2:09:50] Speaker 1: So they're not going to be... I mean, unless they
[2:09:52] Speaker 1: get a big free agent.
[2:09:54] Speaker 4: They could. Well, ain't this the only way the Phoenix
[2:09:58] Speaker 4: can make the play-in? Because of all this happening with Dallas?
[2:10:02] Speaker 2: It is a possibility, Swaggy. Sun's currently 11th, or two
[2:10:06] Speaker 2: and a half games behind the Mavs with that final
[2:10:08] Speaker 2: playing spot. 16 games left in the season.
[2:10:12] Speaker 3: You gotta be optimistic, especially when it comes to injuries.
[2:10:15] Speaker 2: I mean, but what is he gonna say?
[2:10:17] Speaker 3: Right, he's signed his contract.
[2:10:19] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
[2:10:21] Speaker 1: He's going to say, yeah, nah, we fucked. We would
[2:10:24] Speaker 1: agree with him. Kaidown, he hit 80. We don't know
[2:10:27] Speaker 1: what's going on, man.
[2:10:27] Speaker 2: Kaidown.
[2:10:28] Speaker 1: I'm still getting paid, though. I got two more years. Shit,
[2:10:30] Speaker 1: we on up out of here. No, I mean, you
[2:10:31] Speaker 1: can't say that. So he's going to sound like an
[2:10:33] Speaker 1: actual professional.
[2:10:34] Speaker 2: Who's won fucking four championships. Four of them things. So
[2:10:39] Speaker 2: let's keep it shifted. Back in 2023, Gil was on
[2:10:43] Speaker 2: the old man in the three with then podcaster J.J. Redick,
[2:10:47] Speaker 2: now Lakers head coach, possible coach of the year candidate.
[2:10:50] Speaker 1: 2020 what?
[2:10:51] Speaker 2: 2023. May 2023, Gil, you were on The Old Man
[2:10:55] Speaker 2: and Three with J.J.
[2:10:55] Speaker 1: Reddick.
[2:10:56] Speaker 2: Let's take a listen at what you said in May
[2:10:58] Speaker 2: of 2023. Oh, shit. You know, Boston has a chance with,
[2:11:02] Speaker 2: you know, Tatum, young guy, right? Brown, very young guy.
[2:11:07] Speaker 1: They're holding in a big market. L.A., once LeBron goes,
[2:11:13] Speaker 1: they're going to have to try to fill that void.
[2:11:16] Speaker 2: You know, if that's trying to, you know, get John
[2:11:18] Speaker 2: Moran over there.
[2:11:19] Speaker 1: I don't see Dallas giving up Luka.
[2:11:23] Speaker 2: They're not that dumb. Gil, I have news for you.
[2:11:30] Speaker 2: The Mavs are, in fact, dumb. That dumb. Yeah, Gil!
[2:11:37] Speaker 2: They're dumb. Yeah, Gil.
[2:11:39] Speaker 3: They're dumb. You said they're not that dumb.
[2:11:44] Speaker 2: I forgot about that.
[2:11:46] Speaker 5: I forgot about that.
[2:11:48] Speaker 2: I was just... We be talking a lot of shit.
[2:11:49] Speaker 1: I was just thinking about the stars that Lakers will
[2:11:52] Speaker 1: go after.
[2:11:53] Speaker 2: We talk a lot of shit. I bet we forget.
[2:11:55] Speaker 2: We be wanting to forget. That's great.
[2:11:57] Speaker 3: You said not that dumb.
[2:11:59] Speaker 2: Gills for dumb. Not to be confused with shots for dumb.
[2:12:03] Speaker 3: That doesn't mean.
[2:12:04] Speaker 2: I mean.
[2:12:06] Speaker 3: That was a valid... That was very valid at the time.
[2:12:10] Speaker 2: Nobody had done the kibble of bats? Like.
[2:12:14] Speaker 2: I got Luke and JJ.
[2:12:17] Speaker 3: They got both of them.
[2:12:18] Speaker 5: As producers have pointed out, that is not at Gil Shraddam.
[2:12:21] Speaker 1: It's because you said they wouldn't be that dumb. In fact,
[2:12:24] Speaker 1: we'll prove you wrong, Gil. I mean, but just the
[2:12:26] Speaker 1: thought that... I think they took that as a challenge.
[2:12:28] Speaker 2: Out of the two players. Oh, really? Out of the
[2:12:30] Speaker 2: two players that I was thinking of that, like Lakers
[2:12:32] Speaker 2: go after.
[2:12:32] Speaker 3: You probably were thinking of even free agency, not even
[2:12:35] Speaker 3: a trade.
[2:12:36] Speaker 2: Not even a trade.
[2:12:37] Speaker 5: That was actually the conversation around the time he actually
[2:12:40] Speaker 5: said that.
[2:12:41] Speaker 3: What, a trade?
[2:12:41] Speaker 2: For that.
[2:12:42] Speaker 5: The fantasy situation would be Luka coming to L.A.
[2:12:46] Speaker 3: Via trade or just in general?
[2:12:48] Speaker 2: Just in general.
[2:12:49] Speaker 5: Just to get him there. Out of that market, into
[2:12:51] Speaker 5: that market. It was a conversation about that.
[2:12:53] Speaker 3: Yeah, he said they wouldn't be dumb enough to just
[2:12:55] Speaker 3: give him up. And they did.
[2:12:58] Speaker 1: And that fantasy became a reality.
[2:13:00] Speaker 2: That's crazy.
[2:13:02] Speaker 4: That's funny.
[2:13:03] Speaker 2: Moved fast in spurts. Do you see these shoes I
[2:13:05] Speaker 2: got on? And that slippery ass? I was nervous because
[2:13:07] Speaker 2: I didn't want us to get hurt. You were nowhere
[2:13:09] Speaker 2: near me. I spent off. So listen, so you know what?
[2:13:12] Speaker 2: That's my move. That's the only move on the spin move, too.
[2:13:15] Speaker 2: How did they get back to talking about this? He
[2:13:16] Speaker 2: called it. I called it. I could have took off
[2:13:19] Speaker 2: on you, too. What did I say? I said, watch this. Listen,
[2:13:22] Speaker 2: I let him go. Where was I? You was gone.
[2:13:25] Speaker 2: I'm over there with Gil like, damn, about time this
[2:13:27] Speaker 2: shit is over. The move was so cold.
[2:13:29] Speaker 3: How did they get back to this conversation?
[2:13:31] Speaker 2: It was a side conversation.
[2:13:33] Speaker 6: No, because we got the scrimmage on the 20th at
[2:13:35] Speaker 6: the Sparsity, and we're going to play one-on-one.
[2:13:36] Speaker 1: I could have took off on you, too, when I
[2:13:37] Speaker 1: did the spin, but I just snatched back. Because I
[2:13:41] Speaker 1: don't know if I don't want to tear nothing.
[2:13:44] Speaker 2: When y'all go to the Sparks male practice player trial,
[2:13:49] Speaker 2: if somebody y'all end up getting cut, how are you
[2:13:51] Speaker 2: going to feel about it? I'm not getting cut. What
[2:13:54] Speaker 2: if you don't make it? If they cut me, the
[2:13:56] Speaker 2: Sparks cut me. Your feelings hurt. Huh? Your feelings are
[2:14:02] Speaker 2: going to be hurt. I mean, how much can I pay?
[2:14:03] Speaker 2: I'm a Juana man. I'm a Juana man. This is my.
[2:14:06] Speaker 4: I'm trying to audition for the team.
[2:14:09] Speaker 2: I'm going to pay like 10 grand. You imagine.
[2:14:12] Speaker 3: We're.
[2:14:13] Speaker 2: Going to go Juana man next year. We're going to
[2:14:15] Speaker 2: come back.
[2:14:15] Speaker 3: That's very smart.
[2:14:17] Speaker 2: That's actually.
[2:14:18] Speaker 3: That's a very smart thing to do.
[2:14:19] Speaker 2: That's a very good idea.
[2:14:20] Speaker 3: Retired pros coming to be on the practice team.
[2:14:23] Speaker 2: Lexi, you brought this to the arena today, so technically
[2:14:25] Speaker 2: you deserve the credit for it.
[2:14:26] Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry.
[2:14:27] Speaker 2: There was no.
[2:14:29] Speaker 3: Sorry I gave.
[2:14:29] Speaker 2: Up this idea, guys.
[2:14:30] Speaker 1: Prior to you giving us the information, April 12th, they
[2:14:33] Speaker 1: would have just.
[2:14:34] Speaker 2: Been at the crib not doing anything.
[2:14:36] Speaker 3: I can't do it.
[2:14:37] Speaker 2: That's crazy. I can't do it. We need you to
[2:14:39] Speaker 2: clothesline them motherfuckers back. You got to. You got to. Man,
[2:14:43] Speaker 2: I need this. Bro, please, bro. Bro, come set the screen.
[2:14:47] Speaker 2: We don't need you to turn it off. We don't
[2:14:49] Speaker 2: need you.
[2:14:49] Speaker 5: I don't care if it's a girl, a grandma, a kid.
[2:14:52] Speaker 2: I don't care. He said, I don't turn it off.
[2:14:55] Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead. They're going to kick us out.
[2:14:58] Speaker 2: They're going to kick us out.
[2:15:00] Speaker 3: When you practice with us, you have to show a
[2:15:02] Speaker 3: bit of restraint.
[2:15:03] Speaker 5: No, I'm going to take the ball from you every time.
[2:15:05] Speaker 2: Just a bit. Just going to take it from you.
[2:15:08] Speaker 2: Give me the ball.
[2:15:09] Speaker 3: Because it's our season. It's not about y'all. It's about us.
[2:15:12] Speaker 2: It's about y'all.
[2:15:13] Speaker 4: I'm definitely picking Kelsey Plummer.
[2:15:15] Speaker 2: Why would I be easy on you?
[2:15:17] Speaker 3: No, I didn't say go easy, but like, You don't
[2:15:20] Speaker 3: have to like, we're not men.
[2:15:22] Speaker 2: I don't have to take the ball. Kelsey Plumka, watch out.
[2:15:25] Speaker 2: If you can go against us in.
[2:15:27] Speaker 3: Sports, you're not going to run us over.
[2:15:29] Speaker 5: No, why? Because you're in the way. Kelsey Plumka, watch out.
[2:15:34] Speaker 5: First day of practice, 94.
[2:15:36] Speaker 2: Welcome to L.A. What are we doing?
[2:15:38] Speaker 3: Welcome to L.A.

[2:16:10] Speaker 3: See, men's egos be elusive.
[2:16:12] Speaker 2: We support the WNBA here in Gills Arena. Shout out
[2:16:14] Speaker 2: to Seattle Storms, Lexi Brown here in the arena. Oh, man.
[2:16:19] Speaker 2: Can you imagine if you were still on the Sparks
[2:16:21] Speaker 2: and they show up to practice? It would be unserious.
[2:16:25] Speaker 3: Get out.
[2:16:26] Speaker 2: Get out.
[2:16:27] Speaker 3: Sit down.
[2:16:28] Speaker 2: That shit about to be funny. Kelsey Plum, if you
[2:16:31] Speaker 2: are watching this episode of Gil's Arena, Brandon said he
[2:16:33] Speaker 2: will pick you up 94 feet. That's going to help
[2:16:35] Speaker 2: her ball handling.
[2:16:36] Speaker 6: I'm making the practice squad.
[2:16:38] Speaker 2: I swear to God. I'm going to make the team.

[2:16:42] Speaker 2: With a what?
[2:16:43] Speaker 5: I'm coming with a lace front. I'm trying to be Joanna.
[2:16:46] Speaker 3: You don't have to do that.
[2:16:47] Speaker 2: I'm trying to be Joanna. I'm trying to be Joanna.
[2:16:49] Speaker 2: Y'all trying to play it out.
[2:16:51] Speaker 3: It's the male team tryout.
[2:16:53] Speaker 2: Are you trying to make a spark?
[2:16:55] Speaker 3: This is not a sparks tryout either.
[2:16:58] Speaker 2: This shit for me, dude. They said they trying to
[2:17:00] Speaker 2: redo Joanna Manson. I'm coming with a lace shirt. Nick,
[2:17:04] Speaker 2: you don't have to do all that no more.
[2:17:05] Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have to do that.
[2:17:07] Speaker 5: Just identify, bro. Just say, I come in as.
[2:17:12] Speaker 2: A WNBA player today. That's what I am. And they're

[2:17:32] Speaker 2: We were at Dog Bowl this past weekend, and an
[2:17:34] Speaker 2: underdog employee whose identity we will protect, Mavs season ticket holder,
[2:17:38] Speaker 2: who was at a protest following the Luca trade, he
[2:17:41] Speaker 2: had an interesting shirt. that we want to share with
[2:17:44] Speaker 2: you guys. It's a very interesting shirt that we saw
[2:17:46] Speaker 2: at the Underdog Dog Bowl in San Diego. It said,
[2:17:48] Speaker 2: investigate Dumont, fire Nico, cheer for the names on the back,
[2:17:51] Speaker 2: not the front. MFFL. What is that? Mavs Fans for Life? M77L.
[2:17:57] Speaker 2: Mavs Luka for Life. Right? That's cute. Mavs Fans for
[2:18:02] Speaker 2: Life has been adjusted to the 77 for Luka Doncic,
[2:18:05] Speaker 2: former Mav. On the back of the shirt, crossed out
[2:18:09] Speaker 2: Mavs logo.
[2:18:10] Speaker 3: Has this ever happened to an organization before?
[2:18:13] Speaker 1: No.
[2:18:13] Speaker 2: That's a good print on that back of that shirt.
[2:18:14] Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like this against an organization before.
[2:18:18] Speaker 2: I like that. The quality look crazy. I know that
[2:18:21] Speaker 2: was a $ 20 shirt. And he wore this willingly at
[2:18:24] Speaker 2: a very public event. $ 40 shirt. God knows. God knows.
[2:18:30] Speaker 2: Very wordy.
[2:18:31] Speaker 3: We make a shirt, you know.
[2:18:33] Speaker 2: Well, technically.
[2:18:35] Speaker 5: Don't do that right now.
[2:18:38] Speaker 2: You said what?
[2:18:40] Speaker 1: Technically, it wasn't a tree, but it was when Shaq
[2:18:43] Speaker 1: was up in Orlando and Orlando didn't know what salaries
[2:18:49] Speaker 1: were at the time. And they put, should Shaq get
[2:18:52] Speaker 1: this contract? And it was like 90-some percent said no.
[2:18:55] Speaker 2: Told them not to do it. Don't do it. Don't
[2:18:58] Speaker 2: do it. They only had him four years, and then boom.
[2:19:02] Speaker 2: Told them not to do it. But a very passionate
[2:19:05] Speaker 2: Mavs fan. I think just a small sampling of what
[2:19:07] Speaker 2: Mavs fans are feeling out there. We would share in
[2:19:11] Speaker 2: your tragedy, but we are Lakers fans. We appreciate the
[2:19:13] Speaker 2: stupidity that your franchise has shown in giving us Luka Doncic.
[2:19:18] Speaker 2: But let's move on to mostly fans. Hey, it's just
[2:19:21] Speaker 2: like when Charlotte gave up Shea. Who? Who? Who? When Charlotte? Charlotte?
[2:19:31] Speaker 2: I don't know if Charlotte drafted. Yeah, I don't know
[2:19:34] Speaker 2: if Charlotte drafted.
[2:19:34] Speaker 3: Oh, they had that pick?
[2:19:35] Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. They drafted Shea.
[2:19:36] Speaker 3: They gave him the Clippers?
[2:19:37] Speaker 2: For who? For who? I don't know. They gave up
[2:19:40] Speaker 2: Kobe and Shea?
[2:19:41] Speaker 3: No, the Kobe deal was already planned.
[2:19:47] Speaker 2: That was already in the works. Because Lakers didn't have a...
[2:19:50] Speaker 2: They didn't have a pick. Yeah, he tripped. Vladimir Divac, right?
[2:19:55] Speaker 2: I'm pulling it over. Yeah, but that was pre-planned.
[2:19:59] Speaker 5: Oh, I forgot to mention the dude from Portland.
[2:20:02] Speaker 2: He's cold. The white boy.
[2:20:04] Speaker 5: I just wanted to mention him.
[2:20:08] Speaker 2: Danny up there? Yeah, he's cold. He's the next one.
[2:20:12] Speaker 2: Y'all can say all this shit about Luka and all
[2:20:13] Speaker 2: that shit, that dude right there, cold. Wait, was he
[2:20:15] Speaker 2: in Washington? He was in Washington. Yes, he was killing
[2:20:18] Speaker 2: at the end. Oh, that's the motherfucker, that guy that
[2:20:20] Speaker 2: fucked up Jordan Poole. That's the guy who fucked up
[2:20:23] Speaker 2: Jordan Poole. Oh, when he was... New York Knicks, and
[2:20:25] Speaker 2: he was out there getting... Oh, when he wasn't hitting
[2:20:28] Speaker 2: the ball? That was him?
[2:20:29] Speaker 5: In the corner, he was in the corner.
[2:20:31] Speaker 2: What is he doing? Jordan Poole was like, damn. That's what...
[2:20:36] Speaker 2: That dude right there. Okay, okay.
[2:20:38] Speaker 1: So, SGA was traded for Miles Bridges and two future
[2:20:41] Speaker 1: second-round picks.
[2:20:43] Speaker 2: Ooh. That 2018 draft. You would change that? I don't know.
[2:20:48] Speaker 5: Because of what was happening instantly before Miles got in trouble?
[2:20:52] Speaker 2: He was... Yeah. He was going crazy. I mean, in hindsight,
[2:20:57] Speaker 2: it's like... Yeah, but at the time.
[2:20:59] Speaker 5: And it's still a big time, but you didn't see
[2:21:02] Speaker 5: Shea being Shea, though, then.
[2:21:04] Speaker 2: You seen Miles being something.
[2:21:05] Speaker 3: Not even in the Clippers, you didn't even see.
[2:21:06] Speaker 2: I mean, Doc said.
[2:21:08] Speaker 3: Or my dad's. My dad was there when Shay was there,
[2:21:10] Speaker 3: and he told him not to trade him.
[2:21:12] Speaker 2: Doc seen it. Yeah, he said he seen it. He
[2:21:13] Speaker 2: was like, I don't want to.
[2:21:14] Speaker 3: Trade that kid.
[2:21:15] Speaker 2: He was trying to convince Kawhi. He had to work
[2:21:18] Speaker 2: at it.
[2:21:18] Speaker 1: He was trying to convince Kawhi that we didn't need
[2:21:21] Speaker 1: Paul George.
[2:21:21] Speaker 2: We got somebody. He was like, nah, fuck all that. Mm-hmm.
[2:21:25] Speaker 3: My dad said fuck all that.
[2:21:27] Speaker 2: Nah, I mean, I'm paraphrasing. He probably just gave him
[2:21:30] Speaker 2: a look with no words.
[2:21:31] Speaker 1: I mean, get my goddamn Paul George over here and go,
[2:21:33] Speaker 1: fuck what you're talking about.
[2:21:35] Speaker 2: Bad decision I made.
[2:21:38] Speaker 1: But now let's move on to mostly fans. Gil making
[2:21:41] Speaker 1: up draft picks, interim draft.
[2:21:42] Speaker 2: Now, I just told you, yeah, I'm right. Young Abu, yeah,
[2:21:45] Speaker 2: I'm right, God damn it. Call out the check, Gil.
[2:21:47] Speaker 2: He got drafted by Charlotte. Some of y'all in the
[2:21:49] Speaker 2: chat are very mean-spirited, okay? Support the show. Support the movement.
[2:21:53] Speaker 2: We're giving y'all $ 1, 000 every single day. We're giving out
[2:21:54] Speaker 2: $ 1, 000 every day. We're giving y'all thousands of dollars every
[2:21:56] Speaker 2: single day. We ain't giving out, huh? I'm just, I'm just, nothing.
[2:22:01] Speaker 2: He's an underdog. No, it's our bread, too, Gil. We
[2:22:04] Speaker 2: are the vessel, as you like to say. We are
[2:22:06] Speaker 2: the vessel.
[2:22:07] Speaker 1: For that $ 1, 000 from underdog.
[2:22:09] Speaker 2: But our first question from underdog user, Pills2xx. Pills2xx, not
[2:22:15] Speaker 2: sure what kind of pills they are, but Lexi, what
[2:22:18] Speaker 2: did you think about the three-on-three unrivaled league?
[2:22:22] Speaker 3: What did I think of it?
[2:22:22] Speaker 2: What did you think about unrivaled?
[2:22:24] Speaker 3: I thought it was cool. I thought it was a
[2:22:26] Speaker 3: good opportunity to have more places to play in the offseason.
[2:22:31] Speaker 3: The money obviously was amazing. The facilities looked amazing. It
[2:22:34] Speaker 3: looked great on TV. So, I mean, I play in
[2:22:37] Speaker 3: a different off-season league, so I'm all here for the
[2:22:40] Speaker 3: more opportunities for everybody.
[2:22:41] Speaker 2: But athletes are limited for those.
[2:22:42] Speaker 3: Athletes are limited.
[2:22:43] Speaker 2: But again... You're seventh on the leaderboard.
[2:22:45] Speaker 3: Seventh on the leaderboard. But again, both of our leagues combined,
[2:22:49] Speaker 3: that's still about 80 spots. So that's still 60, now
[2:22:53] Speaker 3: almost 70 players that still don't have a place to
[2:22:55] Speaker 3: play in the off-season. So I'm just hoping that our
[2:22:58] Speaker 3: league grows, Unrivaled grows, and more of us can stay stateside.
[2:23:02] Speaker 2: In the U.S. of A.
[2:23:03] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[2:23:04] Speaker 2: God bless America. Only in America. All right, let's move
[2:23:06] Speaker 2: on to our next question from underdog user King Shavey.
[2:23:10] Speaker 2: What's up, Gil's Arena?
[2:23:13] Speaker 11: So my question today is, what is the worst take
[2:23:16] Speaker 11: that you yourself have.
[2:23:18] Speaker 2: Said on the couch? Because I'm not going to lie, Gil.
[2:23:21] Speaker 11: That take about Stephen Curry not being double teamed or
[2:23:24] Speaker 11: triple teamed, whatever the fuck, that.
[2:23:26] Speaker 2: Shit was crazy. I ain't going to lie. Thank you,
[2:23:29] Speaker 2: King Shavey, for not lying. And we have $ 100 coming
[2:23:32] Speaker 2: to you from Underdog.
[2:23:33] Speaker 3: Worst take.
[2:23:34] Speaker 2: What is the worst take you've said on the couch?
[2:23:41] Speaker 1: It's not the worst take I've said on the couch,
[2:23:43] Speaker 1: but my worst take was when I first seen Giannis,
[2:23:49] Speaker 1: I said he reminds me of Karolinko.
[2:23:52] Speaker 2: Damn. That was one. Yeah, that was bad.
[2:23:55] Speaker 1: And then when Curry was coming in, I just said he's...
[2:24:00] Speaker 1: He's a light-skinned J.J.
[2:24:01] Speaker 2: Reddick. I was off. A little bit. Way, way, way, way.
[2:24:07] Speaker 2: It was way, way, way off. It wasn't even close.
[2:24:10] Speaker 2: He's a light-skinned J.J.? Okay. I was like, yeah, he's
[2:24:11] Speaker 2: a light-skinned. Because, you know, when they showed it, I
[2:24:13] Speaker 2: was like, oh, he's a J.J. Reddick, you know. Light-skinned,
[2:24:16] Speaker 2: you know.
[2:24:16] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
[2:24:17] Speaker 1: Jim and Fredette, because it's not like I watched, you know. Yeah,
[2:24:20] Speaker 1: I was just, I missed all of it.
[2:24:22] Speaker 2: Just swing. Steph, hope you are not watching this.
[2:24:26] Speaker 3: It happens.
[2:24:26] Speaker 2: We like Gentleman's King. I don't do that. That was
[2:24:29] Speaker 2: a big one. Thanks. Mr. B. I ain't got no
[2:24:32] Speaker 2: bad takes. I was hoping that you said that. Speak
[2:24:35] Speaker 2: from the heart. Speak from what I see in my eyes.
[2:24:38] Speaker 2: Man of God, speak from the heart. We got the
[2:24:40] Speaker 2: same eyes, everybody. You had a birthday party?
[2:24:43] Speaker 5: You just said yesterday you had a bad take.
[2:24:45] Speaker 2: Which one?
[2:24:47] Speaker 5: Donovan Mitchell being the number one option on the championship team.
[2:24:49] Speaker 2: That's not a bad take yet. Not yet. We don't know.
[2:24:51] Speaker 2: You got to prove it. What you mean? He hasn't
[2:24:53] Speaker 2: won a championship.
[2:24:54] Speaker 5: You got to get it done.
[2:24:56] Speaker 2: So why did you say it?
[2:24:57] Speaker 5: So you wasn't taking it back?
[2:25:00] Speaker 2: No, I said he's been playing like the number one.
[2:25:03] Speaker 2: I think you said. He wasn't a top five guard either. Me? No,
[2:25:07] Speaker 2: I think I had done it. No, I said Jason
[2:25:09] Speaker 2: Tatum wasn't a top five Celtic. Yet. Do you feel
[2:25:13] Speaker 2: like that was a bad take of the Tatum? No,
[2:25:16] Speaker 2: I said yet. Because you didn't ask. It wasn't a take.
[2:25:18] Speaker 2: You just asked a question.
[2:25:20] Speaker 3: Because it is in front of me.
[2:25:22] Speaker 2: I like my takes. That's when I'm drunk. Tatum said
[2:25:25] Speaker 2: he will see you in St. Louis.
[2:25:26] Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell was in top five.
[2:25:29] Speaker 2: My bad. Swaggy, what's your worst take that you've said
[2:25:32] Speaker 2: on this couch? Well, the worst take I heard was
[2:25:37] Speaker 2: about Kobe. I don't say them, but I hear them.
[2:25:41] Speaker 4: And I heard Gil say some shit about Kobe.
[2:25:44] Speaker 2: I said he was a sidekick. He was a robin.
[2:25:47] Speaker 2: He was a robin.
[2:25:48] Speaker 5: What was the name? What we say Kobe was?
[2:25:51] Speaker 2: He was a robin.
[2:25:52] Speaker 5: Not a sidekick. Not a corner boy. It was something else.
[2:25:57] Speaker 2: You used the name. I don't know. He was a
[2:26:01] Speaker 2: robin to the three-time, the MVP. Grocery bag? Was it
[2:26:06] Speaker 2: a grocery bagger? MVP player. I don't think he was.
[2:26:11] Speaker 2: That's the worst take? Yeah. So he was the number
[2:26:14] Speaker 2: one option? Who?
[2:26:18] Speaker 1: In 2000, 2001, 2002. So if it's a worst take,
[2:26:20] Speaker 1: he has to be the number one option. If you
[2:26:23] Speaker 1: say he is 1B....
[2:26:26] Speaker 2: That is number two. There's a 1A. B comes out.
[2:26:29] Speaker 2: That is second. So for my take to.
[2:26:32] Speaker 1: Be bad, you have to say he's a number one.
[2:26:35] Speaker 2: He's number one. It came with, like, he's not even
[2:26:38] Speaker 2: top 10. Nobody said none of that. No, he did.
[2:26:40] Speaker 2: It was a lot of it. I said, no, no, no.
[2:26:42] Speaker 2: I said exactly what I said. So don't add... You
[2:26:45] Speaker 2: said in that era. I said, don't add nothing to it.
[2:26:47] Speaker 1: I said he was a Robin to Shaquille O'Neal, those
[2:26:49] Speaker 1: three championships.
[2:26:50] Speaker 2: It was a whole take that started it. I said
[2:26:53] Speaker 2: what I said.
[2:26:54] Speaker 1: So if you want to put him 1B to Shaq
[2:26:58] Speaker 1: in 2000, 2001, 2002, you can't put him 1A for
[2:27:01] Speaker 1: a guy who won the MVP three times MVP.
[2:27:04] Speaker 2: Shaq was the best.
[2:27:04] Speaker 1: Player in the NBA those three years. So if you
[2:27:08] Speaker 1: say he's 1B, I'm not saying anything dumb. You have
[2:27:11] Speaker 1: to put him 1A for my take to be bad.
[2:27:15] Speaker 2: I did. Let's move over to this side of the couch.
[2:27:20] Speaker 2: I mean, it's reality. Do you have him 1A in 2000? Okay, no. Nobody?
[2:27:26] Speaker 2: I merely host. I'm just asking. What is 1B? What the.
[2:27:32] Speaker 3: Fuck?
[2:27:32] Speaker 2: 1B is Robin. Huh? No, 1B is Superman. No, 1A
[2:27:37] Speaker 2: is Superman. 1B is Batman. Who's bigger?
[2:27:40] Speaker 5: Whoever's in the Justice League.
[2:27:43] Speaker 1: Huh?
[2:27:44] Speaker 2: You said what?
[2:27:45] Speaker 5: 1B is whoever's in the Justice League that you want
[2:27:48] Speaker 5: to be. Whoever the fuck you want to be, be.
[2:27:50] Speaker 5: It ain't Robin.
[2:27:53] Speaker 2: Yeah. Robin is the assistant. Man.
[2:27:55] Speaker 5: He ain't no assistant.
[2:27:58] Speaker 2: So who's the best superhero? Batman. If it ain't Superman.
[2:28:00] Speaker 2: Doctor Manhattan. How about this? Let's try this. Don't fuck
[2:28:04] Speaker 2: with me. I'd do this. Elon Musk. Elon Musk is the...
[2:28:09] Speaker 2: Who's the richest.
[2:28:09] Speaker 5: I got a bunch of superheroes on my wall.
[2:28:11] Speaker 2: I was going to say steal, but.
[2:28:13] Speaker 5: One by one and explain each superpower. And you're going
[2:28:17] Speaker 5: to make me use my superpowers in here in a second.
[2:28:19] Speaker 5: That's a fucking mask over there I just got through
[2:28:21] Speaker 5: using over there.
[2:28:22] Speaker 2: Hey, talk your shit. Who is the richest person in
[2:28:25] Speaker 2: the world? Probably Elon Musk. Elon Musk, right? Probably. Or
[2:28:28] Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos.
[2:28:29] Speaker 1: If Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk was in the same room,
[2:28:33] Speaker 1: one of them is one fucking B, right?
[2:28:35] Speaker 2: One is calling the other a broke one. Yeah, one
[2:28:37] Speaker 2: of them is calling the other one a broke one.
[2:28:39] Speaker 3: Technically, yes.
[2:28:40] Speaker 2: Get this broke nigga out of here. Yeah. When he's
[2:28:43] Speaker 2: not in a room with.
[2:28:43] Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neal, Batman is the big... Yeah, what's happening, big dog?
[2:28:47] Speaker 2: I am the king.
[2:28:48] Speaker 1: There's only one person that offset him.
[2:28:51] Speaker 2: Superman. The nigga who can't die. That's who he had
[2:28:55] Speaker 2: on his team.
[2:28:57] Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's a sidekick to everybody else.
[2:28:59] Speaker 5: Superman was flying to the destination, and he got there,
[2:29:02] Speaker 5: and he seen Batman, and he's like, how.
[2:29:04] Speaker 2: You get here so fast? He's like, I flew, motherfucker.
[2:29:07] Speaker 1: Batman asked Superman how did you get here.
[2:29:11] Speaker 2: I flew, motherfucker. You ain't the only one that can fly.
[2:29:14] Speaker 1: Nigga, I have a billion, million, trillion dollars.
[2:29:18] Speaker 3: I got here the same time you did.
[2:29:20] Speaker 2: Motherfucker, you ain't special. So Batman can get there just
[2:29:25] Speaker 2: as fast as Superman.
[2:29:25] Speaker 1: The special part is this. When we both take off
[2:29:29] Speaker 1: our clothes, when we both take off our clothes, Batman
[2:29:34] Speaker 1: can die. Superman is still Superman. He can be in
[2:29:39] Speaker 1: his suit wearing clothes.
[2:29:39] Speaker 2: You throw a rocket, he's still Superman.
[2:29:42] Speaker 5: I can put Kryptonite in the clothing of the suit.
[2:29:45] Speaker 5: That nigga can get hit with one of the things
[2:29:47] Speaker 5: and die.
[2:29:48] Speaker 1: Him himself is still the guy himself. But What I'm
[2:29:52] Speaker 1: saying is you take off the gear, all this plastic,
[2:29:55] Speaker 1: and I take off my clothes, I'm still the entity
[2:29:58] Speaker 1: of Superman.
[2:30:01] Speaker 2: I'm hiding my disguise.
[2:30:04] Speaker 1: When you said they both take off their clothes, I
[2:30:06] Speaker 1: thought you were about to make a Rose Sparks joke,
[2:30:07] Speaker 1: but I'm glad you did not, sir.
[2:30:09] Speaker 2: I'm just letting you know. But let's shift over to
[2:30:12] Speaker 2: this side. Lexi, what's the worst take? I don't have,
[2:30:14] Speaker 2: I don't do.
[2:30:15] Speaker 3: I keep it real cute over here.
[2:30:17] Speaker 2: Very respectful. Mm-hmm. I do. I do.
[2:30:21] Speaker 3: Because we can't say anything off.
[2:30:27] Speaker 2: You can, though, all right?
[2:30:28] Speaker 3: I don't like to, though.
[2:30:29] Speaker 5: I've heard you. During the timeout, I've seen you talking shit.
[2:30:33] Speaker 5: What timeout?
[2:30:34] Speaker 2: In the last game y'all.
[2:30:36] Speaker 5: Played, you was over there like, this shit ain't, she
[2:30:38] Speaker 5: can't fuck with me.
[2:30:39] Speaker 3: Nope, don't say any of those things. Anybody that knows me,
[2:30:44] Speaker 3: I'll say nothing on the court.
[2:30:48] Speaker 2: Applebee's. Oh, I love them. They said shot. They said just.
[2:30:54] Speaker 1: They said these are shot tapes.
[2:30:57] Speaker 2: What? Those are your bad tapes? Just pick one. Oh, me?
[2:31:01] Speaker 2: Nobody said that good. Swear to God. It can't come
[2:31:04] Speaker 2: from the chat. They're not... That is mean. Mean?
[2:31:08] Speaker 3: That is rude.
[2:31:09] Speaker 2: Y'all don't want to go through all my bad tastes.
[2:31:11] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
[2:31:13] Speaker 2: My bad tastes is... You know what? Can you key
[2:31:17] Speaker 2: in on the worst one? Just one.
[2:31:18] Speaker 5: I'm going to be gracious and humble. Ooh, they said
[2:31:27] Speaker 5: your takes on the rookies. Probably the J.J. Reddick getting
[2:31:30] Speaker 5: the job for the Lakers.
[2:31:32] Speaker 2: They were bad. It was a terrible take. But didn't
[2:31:33] Speaker 2: you call it? Did I call it? You called it.
[2:31:35] Speaker 2: You said, oh, that wasn't a bad take. Yeah, that
[2:31:37] Speaker 2: wasn't a bad take because you called it.
[2:31:38] Speaker 3: I said the rookies were great.
[2:31:39] Speaker 1: Fuck!
[2:31:39] Speaker 2: Let me tell you. Hold on. I'm trying to go
[2:31:41] Speaker 2: through all the bad takes. But as a reminder to
[2:31:42] Speaker 2: the audience, JJ was up for the Hornets job, I believe.
[2:31:44] Speaker 2: And you said, niggas fuck with JJ. That was your quote.
[2:31:47] Speaker 5: I did say that, didn't I?
[2:31:48] Speaker 2: You did. You did say it. But then JJ saw
[2:31:50] Speaker 2: us at Summer League, banged on the window for some reason,
[2:31:53] Speaker 2: like he wanted to smoke, and then just proceeded to
[2:31:55] Speaker 2: keep walking down the window.
[2:31:56] Speaker 5: Well, it was a bad take that I picked the
[2:31:58] Speaker 5: Boston Celtics to win the championship last year.
[2:32:01] Speaker 2: That was terrible. But they did. But they did. They
[2:32:03] Speaker 2: did win it. So that wasn't a bad take. Wrap
[2:32:07] Speaker 2: it up. Okay, we're going to wrap it up. Because what?
[2:32:10] Speaker 2: That was a great take. It was a great take.
[2:32:12] Speaker 2: What do you mean? Like an NBA team? Oh, because everybody...
[2:32:16] Speaker 2: The Nuggets, I believe. Oh, yeah, that was a terrible take.
[2:32:19] Speaker 5: And then South Sudan went over and gave the United States.
[2:32:23] Speaker 2: A run for their money.
[2:32:24] Speaker 3: But they didn't beat them.
[2:32:25] Speaker 5: And ain't none of those guys on their team could
[2:32:27] Speaker 5: have fucked with my team.
[2:32:32] Speaker 1: That's not how it works.
[2:32:36] Speaker 2: That's not how it works. That wasn't the Denver Nuggets.
[2:32:39] Speaker 2: They was Team Avengers. Team Avengers.
[2:32:42] Speaker 5: The Team Avengers team took the... Yeah, what you think
[2:32:47] Speaker 5: we gonna do? You scared of no fucking Denver Nuggets? Yeah,
[2:32:49] Speaker 5: that was a bad take. Because I don't got loser spirit.
[2:32:53] Speaker 5: Tell him.
[2:32:54] Speaker 2: Tell him.
[2:32:55] Speaker 1: So Benji, what he's saying is he don't do bad takes.
[2:32:58] Speaker 2: Nah, he talking about it. Y'all just bad listeners.
[2:33:00] Speaker 3: Y'all just don't understand where he coming from.
[2:33:03] Speaker 5: Or y'all just say shit like share-a-shation, share-a-lation, and you
[2:33:06] Speaker 5: don't understand the shit that I'll be actually saying.
[2:33:09] Speaker 2: A new word in the arena. Surrogation.
[2:33:12] Speaker 5: Serototion.
[2:33:13] Speaker 2: Serototion. Serogation? Serototion. Was it serogation? You know what serototion is?
[2:33:18] Speaker 1: That shit still sound correct, though. I'm not even going
[2:33:20] Speaker 1: to lie. I'm just going to stand on that. I'm
[2:33:22] Speaker 1: going to just stand ten toes down on serogation. That
[2:33:25] Speaker 1: might be a new word we have to add to
[2:33:26] Speaker 1: the lexicon. I know a letter's missing in that bitch. Serogation.
[2:33:32] Speaker 1: We might need hooked on.
[2:33:33] Speaker 5: All my taste is going to be bad, man.
[2:33:35] Speaker 2: I promise you. Left out the G? Is serogation a
[2:33:38] Speaker 2: real word?
[2:33:39] Speaker 4: Hey, man, they don't want to see the corner succeed, man.
[2:33:42] Speaker 2: The corner gotta succeed. Y'all gotta stop relying on all
[2:33:44] Speaker 2: this AI. They learned everything about y'all, man. Yes. Watch iRobot.
[2:33:50] Speaker 3: What's the definition?
[2:33:52] Speaker 2: Come on. Why do y'all always make me do this shit?
[2:33:57] Speaker 2: That's surrogation, Gil. That is surrogation like a surrogate. You
[2:34:01] Speaker 2: heard me say it. If they didn't spell it right,
[2:34:03] Speaker 2: that's not my problem.
[2:34:04] Speaker 3: But you didn't use it correctly, though. It wasn't even
[2:34:07] Speaker 3: about the word. It was the way you used it.
[2:34:10] Speaker 2: You used it incorrectly.
[2:34:12] Speaker 3: You're talking about melting cheese together. What are you talking about?
[2:34:18] Speaker 2: Burger King put the cheese on.
[2:34:19] Speaker 3: Put the cheese on, surrogated.
[2:34:21] Speaker 2: He said putting it together. What is segregation? Is Lexi
[2:34:25] Speaker 2: Brown a hater? Is Lexi Brown a hater?
[2:34:28] Speaker 3: They're going to say yes.
[2:34:30] Speaker 5: They put the cheese together and segregation.
[2:34:32] Speaker 2: And we're going to say yes.
[2:34:34] Speaker 3: Because a lot of these haters have been circulating around
[2:34:39] Speaker 3: the internet quite a lot.
[2:34:40] Speaker 2: The basketball player. Mm-mm.
[2:34:44] Speaker 3: I'm just trying to help you speak correctly.
[2:34:46] Speaker 2: Guilt. That's all. AI learning your voice.
[2:34:49] Speaker 3: Don't put this in the AI. You about to make
[2:34:52] Speaker 3: me an enemy of the robots.
[2:34:54] Speaker 2: Stop it. As a matter of fact, I'm about to
[2:34:56] Speaker 2: use your voice to call underdog, get me a raise.
[2:34:58] Speaker 3: Stop. Stop talking to the robots in the phone.
[2:35:01] Speaker 2: They said no. Lexi's not a hater.
[2:35:04] Speaker 3: Stop talking to the robots. Why is nobody afraid of that?
[2:35:07] Speaker 2: Because the robot don't talk back. I don't talk back.
[2:35:09] Speaker 3: They are listening.
[2:35:11] Speaker 2: They can listen all they want.
[2:35:12] Speaker 3: They're listening and plotting.
