Trae Young COOKING The New York Knicks Gets Gil's Arena Fired Up as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Trae Young adding another savage victory over the Knicks to his resume and break down how his Atlanta Hawks pulled off the upset to advance to the Semi-Finals of the NBA Cup. They also react to the Houston Rockets taking down the Golden State Warriors in an old school rock fight where Steph Curry and the Warriors fell due to a controversial call that caused Steve Kerr to crash out. The Crew breaks down if Kerr's comments over the call were warranted and debate if Alpren Sengun & the Rockets are showing enough to be considered contenders in the NBA Playoff race. Finally, they react to the report that Kawhi Leonard is still 2 weeks away from taking the court this season and discuss the Clippers ceiling if their superstar ends up playing more games than Joel Embiid.

[2:36] Speaker 1: And we got WNBA champion of the world, Lexi Brown,
[2:40] Speaker 1: back on the couch. Lexi, you got a special guest
[2:44] Speaker 1: with us. She didn't want to be on camera.
[2:45] Speaker 2: We got to show some love to your mom who.
[2:47] Speaker 1: Pulled up all the way from Jacksonville.
[2:49] Speaker 6: Hey.
[2:52] Speaker 3: She was looking to check Gil, but as previously mentioned,
[2:55] Speaker 3: Gil Ducky. Gil Ducky all face today. But we do
[2:59] Speaker 3: miss Gil, but we still going to have a great show.
[3:01] Speaker 3: For those of you who watched the show last time
[3:02] Speaker 3: Gil wasn't here, you know it's going to be turned up.
[3:05] Speaker 3: Some would say even better than when he is here,
[3:07] Speaker 3: but that is debatable.
[3:08] Speaker 6: And less screaming.
[3:09] Speaker 2: Oh, there's going to be some screaming today.
[3:11] Speaker 6: Less screaming.
[3:12] Speaker 3: But for all the fans out there, we still have
[3:14] Speaker 3: two viewing options for you. Our traditional version, mobile vertical version.
[3:16] Speaker 3: Pick whichever one you want to watch. Just make sure
[3:18] Speaker 3: you support Swaggies Arena. So here's what's cracking in Swaggies
[3:22] Speaker 3: Arena today. Ice Train and the Hawks pulled up to
[3:25] Speaker 3: MSG and rolled the dice on the Knicks. Will the
[3:28] Speaker 3: Hawks crap out or keep rolling in the NBA Cup?
[3:32] Speaker 3: The Rockets snapped their 15-game losing streak on the Warriors
[3:35] Speaker 3: to advance to the NBA Cup Final Four. Did the
[3:37] Speaker 3: Dubs get a taste of their own medicine? I'm sure
[3:40] Speaker 3: a lot of Rockets fans, we're talking about 2018 Game
[3:41] Speaker 3: 7 A lot of calls that then-MVP James Harden didn't get.
[3:46] Speaker 2: You know, hey, what goes around comes around. You already know. Interesting.
[3:51] Speaker 3: And Kawhi Leonard practiced with the team for the first
[3:54] Speaker 3: time this season on Tuesday. What's the Clippers' ceiling if
[3:58] Speaker 3: the Claw can stay healthy? Reports are he may be
[4:01] Speaker 3: back in a couple weeks out there with that squad.
[4:03] Speaker 3: They're a very surprising team this season. should be even
[4:06] Speaker 3: better with Kawhi back in the lineup. I did not
[4:11] Speaker 3: instruct Paolo to do that. Is that okay? He's making
[4:15] Speaker 3: sure it is your ring.

[4:39] Speaker 3: on YouTube, Monday through Thursdays, 1130 a.m. Pacific, 2.30 p.m.
[4:42] Speaker 2: Eastern.
[4:43] Speaker 3: We got audio versions available on Apple, Spotify, wherever you
[4:46] Speaker 3: get your podcasts. So we're going to start international today.
[4:49] Speaker 3: So athletes such as Noah Lyles have taken issue with
[4:51] Speaker 3: the idea of NBA teams calling themselves world champions. You
[4:55] Speaker 3: already know we had a huge discussion on it. And
[4:57] Speaker 3: it turns out he and others share those sentiments, and
[5:01] Speaker 3: they may be getting their wish in the near future.
[5:04] Speaker 3: So according to Joe Varden of The Athletic, the NBA
[5:07] Speaker 3: and FIBA are in serious talks about starting a pro
[5:09] Speaker 3: league in Europe that could rival the EuroLeague and other
[5:11] Speaker 3: international leagues. While the details of the league are not
[5:14] Speaker 3: known at this time, it appears that several of the
[5:16] Speaker 3: top teams in the current EuroLeague are considering letting their
[5:19] Speaker 3: license expire with that league after the 2025-26 season. which
[5:23] Speaker 3: means top teams such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, among others,
[5:26] Speaker 3: could potentially be open to exploring a partnership with the
[5:29] Speaker 3: NBA as soon as 2026, so long as the.
[5:33] Speaker 2: Bread is right. They need their chips with dips, as
[5:35] Speaker 2: you already know.
[5:36] Speaker 3: So I want to go around the couch and ask you,
[5:38] Speaker 3: a lot of you guys have international experience. Would you
[5:40] Speaker 3: want to see an NBA-affiliated EuroLeague?
[5:45] Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
[5:46] Speaker 2: But they come play in the NBA? No, so they
[5:48] Speaker 2: would play.
[5:49] Speaker 3: So EuroLeague right now, I believe, is 13 teams that
[5:52] Speaker 3: are a staple of the EuroLeague Cup. They're in every season,
[5:54] Speaker 3: and 13 more teams across the European leagues.
[5:58] Speaker 2: So we're saying like the G League, the G League
[6:00] Speaker 2: elite over there. That'd be dope.
[6:03] Speaker 1: That'd be dope. No, for sure.
[6:04] Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be fun. It would change everything.
[6:05] Speaker 6: Yeah. Wait, so would EuroLeague not be a thing anymore?
[6:09] Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe the NBA is trying to walk into
[6:11] Speaker 3: the EuroLeague's trap and take over said trap just based on.
[6:15] Speaker 2: The report from the Athletic.
[6:16] Speaker 6: So it would just be an NBA EuroLeague.
[6:20] Speaker 2: So FIBA.
[6:21] Speaker 3: Competition with them. EuroLeague isn't sanctioned by FIBA. So FIBA
[6:25] Speaker 3: and the NBA are in cahoots right now.
[6:26] Speaker 6: It's not sanctioned by FIBA?
[6:27] Speaker 2: So it might be FIBA rules, but FIBA don't get
[6:29] Speaker 2: a grant off of it, from what I understand. So
[6:31] Speaker 2: the NBA and FIBA.
[6:32] Speaker 6: Competing with EuroLeague.
[6:33] Speaker 2: Yeah, saying we would like to come just take over
[6:35] Speaker 2: your corners.
[6:36] Speaker 6: Dang.
[6:36] Speaker 2: Yeah, they come and take over their block. And you
[6:38] Speaker 2: pushing our package now.
[6:39] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[6:40] Speaker 6: That's smart.
[6:42] Speaker 4: That's really smart, considering how many Europeans.
[6:43] Speaker 2: They said, well, because about the development, right?
[6:45] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[6:46] Speaker 2: Of the AAU and high school kids. I had already
[6:48] Speaker 2: thought this, right, for my six-year-old. I tell you, we
[6:51] Speaker 2: like 14, 15, we was going to move to Spain.
[6:54] Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
[6:54] Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, I'm not sitting and playing AAU basketball here
[6:57] Speaker 2: when he can go become a pro at 15.
[7:01] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[7:03] Speaker 2: So, yeah, it makes sense to me.
[7:06] Speaker 4: It seems like the route that they try to take
[7:09] Speaker 4: with the overtime elite And all that, it just didn't,
[7:12] Speaker 4: it's not really panning out how they thought. And these
[7:14] Speaker 4: European kids are coming over way better, more advanced, more pro-ready.
[7:18] Speaker 6: So they're like, we just going to go over there.
[7:20] Speaker 2: Yeah, because you got to start them before they're 18.
[7:24] Speaker 2: You send them overtime to leave when they're 17, 18.
[7:26] Speaker 2: That's too late. Or you just got to teach them
[7:28] Speaker 2: how to play real basketball. No, but they got a
[7:30] Speaker 2: lot of bad, the point I'm making, they got a
[7:31] Speaker 2: lot of bad habits by 17, 18. Yeah. Right, you
[7:34] Speaker 2: starting them at, in these academies at 13, 14, 15.
[7:36] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[7:39] Speaker 2: You're eliminating those bad habits and you're working on the
[7:41] Speaker 2: skill set that these guys are much better at than
[7:44] Speaker 2: the marriage.
[7:44] Speaker 1: Well, the difference over the trees is that there is
[7:47] Speaker 1: no emphasis on individuality at all.
[7:51] Speaker 2: All of those players over there are only no teams.
[7:53] Speaker 1: Lonnie Walker goes over, he says, man, this is real
[7:56] Speaker 1: basketball over here. There's no ego. There's no individual. We
[7:59] Speaker 1: all play as one. This is Lonnie that played with him.
[8:02] Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
[8:03] Speaker 2: Ain't no one guy taking all the shots. Yeah.
[8:05] Speaker 1: He feels some type of way about being over there.
[8:08] Speaker 1: He's like, man, I'll bring my son over here before
[8:12] Speaker 1: I let the game taint him.
[8:14] Speaker 2: It'd be good to learn best of both worlds.
[8:16] Speaker 5: I think you should have some, you got to have,
[8:19] Speaker 5: the culture inside you when you go over there too, so.
[8:22] Speaker 2: Yeah. It all plays, I just, so you can only
[8:26] Speaker 2: speak on your own experiences.
[8:26] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[8:27] Speaker 2: So I look at KJ, like me, the way I
[8:30] Speaker 2: was groomed to play the game was fundamentally sound. Me
[8:34] Speaker 2: playing in college. We learned different back then. Four years,
[8:37] Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying? We used to drill shit
[8:38] Speaker 2: every single day with Bob Huggins. Wasn't no days off, right?
[8:43] Speaker 2: Of working on this, working on that, working on this,
[8:45] Speaker 2: so you working on those things. So that's why I
[8:47] Speaker 2: was able to I'm saying KJ plays the right way
[8:50] Speaker 2: in today's society, which at times is a detriment to him, right?
[8:55] Speaker 2: But he plays the right way all the time.
[8:59] Speaker 1: Just imagine if KJ played over in Europe, he would.
[9:04] Speaker 2: Average 20 and 15.
[9:07] Speaker 1: Plays the right way and they know how to get
[9:08] Speaker 1: him the ball in the right position. You get lost
[9:11] Speaker 1: in the game in the NBA when you play the
[9:13] Speaker 1: right way and you don't know where you belong because
[9:15] Speaker 1: you're like, usually our back door right here, but they
[9:18] Speaker 1: telling me the space. And I never touch the ball
[9:21] Speaker 1: because this back door is wide open.
[9:23] Speaker 2: He got a dunk last game. Paul George drove, he
[9:25] Speaker 2: cut right behind and got it. He's playing the right way.
[9:29] Speaker 2: It's the fundamentals and when he was younger in high
[9:31] Speaker 2: school and me stopping and breaking it after every game, right?
[9:37] Speaker 2: going over the good things he did, the bad things
[9:39] Speaker 2: he did, right? Most of the time doing a lot
[9:41] Speaker 2: of bad stuff, but just always addressing it, right? Keeping
[9:44] Speaker 2: him where you need him to be. And I think
[9:47] Speaker 2: that's what they do in Europe, right? They from, like
[9:50] Speaker 2: I said, from a young age, 12, 13, 14, they
[9:53] Speaker 2: working on stopping you, slowing you down, and doing it
[9:58] Speaker 2: the right way instead of just.
[10:01] Speaker 5: But is that more us not teaching them? We learned that.
[10:04] Speaker 2: They took it from our system.
[10:06] Speaker 1: If you think about European basketball, like you know about Europe, They.
[10:10] Speaker 2: Play college basketball.
[10:12] Speaker 1: It's all college. In the lane, cut, pass, move it
[10:16] Speaker 1: out the ball, flex cuts, down screens.
[10:19] Speaker 2: And they're in the gym. That's impressive.
[10:21] Speaker 1: That's impressive.
[10:22] Speaker 4: Little kids are in the gym so many times.
[10:24] Speaker 2: In the academy.
[10:25] Speaker 6: I was in the gym, like, all day.
[10:27] Speaker 1: Damn near.
[10:28] Speaker 6: I mean, there was nothing else to do.
[10:29] Speaker 2: We had to share gyms with little kids.
[10:30] Speaker 6: But, like, so many people in the gym. Would this
[10:33] Speaker 6: affect college?
[10:35] Speaker 2: Well, I think not.
[10:36] Speaker 6: You don't think?
[10:37] Speaker 4: Because now it's like NBA affiliated.
[10:39] Speaker 2: No, because NIL still is a thing.
[10:41] Speaker 3: I'm sure they're using it as a developmental pipeline. Yeah,
[10:44] Speaker 3: it's definitely a pipeline. International players. I think there was
[10:46] Speaker 3: like 125.
[10:46] Speaker 4: So it's going to be more for, do you think
[10:47] Speaker 4: it's going to be like more international players? Are they
[10:50] Speaker 4: going to have, are they going to encourage younger American players.
[10:54] Speaker 2: To go over there? I think it's going to be both.
[10:55] Speaker 2: I think it's going to be both.
[10:56] Speaker 5: Did the game get softer because of that, though?
[10:59] Speaker 6: I feel like it's going to be like.
[11:00] Speaker 2: Those dudes play hard over there.
[11:02] Speaker 6: I think it's going to be like a level above
[11:04] Speaker 6: the G League.
[11:05] Speaker 1: I think it's a level above the G League because
[11:07] Speaker 1: you're going against guys you're not familiar with.
[11:09] Speaker 5: I think it's a level above the G League, but
[11:12] Speaker 5: it's not.
[11:12] Speaker 1: These will be pro-European clubs, though, right? Like the historic
[11:17] Speaker 1: franchises across Europe.
[11:18] Speaker 2: Pat Babb is on one of the teams right now.
[11:20] Speaker 4: I mean, there's players over there that are like 16, 17,
[11:22] Speaker 4: 18 years old. So you think that... certain kids are
[11:25] Speaker 4: over here. Instead of going to school, they're going to
[11:27] Speaker 4: go plan that.
[11:28] Speaker 1: Because if they can get paid, yeah. And they don't
[11:31] Speaker 1: have to go to school.
[11:31] Speaker 4: People usually don't go overseas because once you get overseas,
[11:34] Speaker 4: it's hard to come back.
[11:36] Speaker 6: But now if it's an MBA.
[11:38] Speaker 5: I could see them sending bets and stuff over there, too.
[11:42] Speaker 2: That could be fire. So, Kenya, question for you.
[11:45] Speaker 3: KJ started playing locally out here last season, I think
[11:49] Speaker 3: Sierra Canyon, then went to IMG Academy.
[11:51] Speaker 2: What did you notice as a difference?
[11:52] Speaker 3: You talk about Academy, Academy-style basketball. That's Academy in Florida, right? Brandington,
[11:57] Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken. That's specifically built, I just saw
[12:00] Speaker 3: a video of it on IG, but just all the
[12:02] Speaker 3: different resources, facilities. I think it started out as a voluntary.
[12:05] Speaker 1: Tennis camp and then expanded out to a bunch of
[12:06] Speaker 1: other sports. Yeah.
[12:07] Speaker 2: What did you notice is the difference.
[12:09] Speaker 1: Between the instruction at Sierra Canyon from.
[12:11] Speaker 3: An athletic basketball standpoint?
[12:13] Speaker 2: Y'all getting too deep into it. Let's go. To IMG Academy.
[12:17] Speaker 1: Could you see more IMG Academy-style, you know, replication across
[12:21] Speaker 1: the country and guys not having to go to Europe
[12:23] Speaker 1: to go do that?
[12:24] Speaker 2: Yeah, so what KJ did was, so he graduated high school,
[12:28] Speaker 2: and instead of, so the rule states to get drafted,
[12:31] Speaker 2: you had to be one year removed. So we explored
[12:34] Speaker 2: options of him going to Australia and We had an
[12:37] Speaker 2: opportunity to do that, but the league tried to step
[12:40] Speaker 2: in and control. Was that the NBL or whatever? Yeah,
[12:43] Speaker 2: so we knew the owner of one of the teams
[12:46] Speaker 2: on there, and he was going to put him on
[12:47] Speaker 2: his team, but then the league stepped in and tried
[12:49] Speaker 2: to say they was going to place KJ on a
[12:51] Speaker 2: certain team, and I wasn't going to have nobody playing
[12:52] Speaker 2: politics with his future. So the IMG situation for KJ
[12:57] Speaker 2: was because he didn't plan on going to college, right?
[13:01] Speaker 2: He was going to be a pro after the one
[13:03] Speaker 2: year removed from high school. So other guys that were
[13:06] Speaker 2: planning on going to college, they took classes. And while
[13:09] Speaker 2: they were in classes, KJ was training. So he lived
[13:14] Speaker 2: by himself. He had an apartment. So it was getting
[13:16] Speaker 2: him ready to be a pro. But the training part was,
[13:18] Speaker 2: me and him talked about you need to work on
[13:21] Speaker 2: your shooting, ball handling your body, right? That was the...
[13:26] Speaker 2: And he had a schedule, right? So you stick to
[13:29] Speaker 2: the schedule, and he did, right?
[13:30] Speaker 1: There was no.
[13:31] Speaker 2: I don't want to get no phone calls, you're missing workouts,
[13:33] Speaker 2: that you was late, this, that, and the third. And
[13:36] Speaker 2: he stuck to it, right? And it showed. He played games,
[13:39] Speaker 2: but it was just the not having to go to
[13:45] Speaker 2: class part, right? When you're in class, them dudes, like,
[13:48] Speaker 2: he's working out. And you could tell, like, it was
[13:51] Speaker 2: a difference when the guys that he was playing with
[13:54] Speaker 2: and him, right? The way how strong he got, because
[13:57] Speaker 2: they were, like, it was emphasis on it.
[14:00] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[14:00] Speaker 2: Because he was going to go be a pro the
[14:01] Speaker 2: next year. So if you know the route that the
[14:05] Speaker 2: kid is going to go, then why take this path over,
[14:13] Speaker 2: this college path or this other path? No, let's go
[14:15] Speaker 2: be pros, right? Let's train as pros. Do they still
[14:18] Speaker 2: get NIL for that, too? No. Oh, okay. Like, so
[14:22] Speaker 2: let's train as pros, man. Like, why put kids in
[14:26] Speaker 2: situations that they're going to BS it?
[14:28] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[14:29] Speaker 3: So per Varda's article, a part of the entry from
[14:31] Speaker 3: Adam Silver's perspective is the youth development programs that these
[14:35] Speaker 3: European teams have developed. By investing in those teams, you
[14:40] Speaker 3: get access to that developmental program, which.
[14:42] Speaker 2: Seems a little weird to me.
[14:44] Speaker 3: Since we created the blueprint for this, they took it
[14:46] Speaker 3: over there, obviously expanded it out.
[14:47] Speaker 1: That's lazy work. You think about what they're doing. They're
[14:50] Speaker 1: asking the European guys to babysit our guys, train our guys,
[14:53] Speaker 1: and bring them back over here when we can set
[14:55] Speaker 1: it up. This is what the G League is supposed
[14:58] Speaker 1: to be. You're telling me you want to go partner
[15:01] Speaker 1: with their formulas better than ours?
[15:05] Speaker 6: If you could fix the G League, how would you
[15:07] Speaker 6: fix it?
[15:08] Speaker 2: Oh, it could be much better.
[15:10] Speaker 6: Yeah, it could be way better.
[15:11] Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen clips. You bring an influx of
[15:13] Speaker 1: former players and a lot of different fitness enthusiasts and
[15:19] Speaker 1: experts that know about the body, the physio-vascular part of
[15:24] Speaker 1: the body.
[15:25] Speaker 2: Bring those people into the G League.
[15:27] Speaker 1: Let the experience flood the G League.
[15:28] Speaker 2: Yeah. Our experience, the scouting.
[15:31] Speaker 1: Of the players, we all get, like, remember the big
[15:34] Speaker 1: three when y'all was scouting for the players?
[15:36] Speaker 2: Y'all wanted to pick players. Y'all set up there in
[15:38] Speaker 2: the combine. It was like, yeah, man, we like him.
[15:41] Speaker 1: Man, how is that? That was like the G League
[15:44] Speaker 1: without G League players. It was like, damn, man, imagine
[15:47] Speaker 1: if the G League had Kenyon Martin and AI and
[15:50] Speaker 1: Chauncey and Dr. J. All them looking down like, yeah, man,
[15:54] Speaker 1: we like these kids. What?
[15:57] Speaker 2: How is that not a part of our culture?
[15:59] Speaker 3: So right now, we basically have the high school to
[16:01] Speaker 3: college pipeline for basketball. But do you see a world
[16:03] Speaker 3: where it's more like baseball, where a lot of guys
[16:05] Speaker 3: are getting drafted out of high school? I just watched
[16:07] Speaker 3: a video on Juan Soto.
[16:08] Speaker 2: It's a farm system, right? That's what the G League was.
[16:09] Speaker 6: Supposed to be.
[16:10] Speaker 1: It was.
[16:10] Speaker 6: I was kind of like the, oh, I didn't make it.
[16:12] Speaker 1: It's a graveyard.
[16:13] Speaker 2: It's a graveyard.
[16:14] Speaker 1: It's a graveyard.
[16:15] Speaker 2: It is. To turn it into a graveyard, like instead
[16:17] Speaker 2: of a farm system and growing people. It's punishment.
[16:20] Speaker 1: It's like, man, I got to go to the fucking...
[16:22] Speaker 1: It's what it was. It's what it's always been. You
[16:25] Speaker 1: go to the G League, man, yeah, shame on you.
[16:28] Speaker 2: Unless you get, like I said, I can only speak
[16:31] Speaker 2: on experiences. KJ went down there, and it was like,
[16:33] Speaker 2: he's going down there for 30 days. Him and Kevin
[16:37] Speaker 2: Porter went down there.
[16:37] Speaker 1: It was.
[16:38] Speaker 2: Like a prison sentence. 30 days, and they was going back, right?
[16:42] Speaker 2: This is the plan. This is the, go down there, play,
[16:45] Speaker 2: learn the system, learn our plays, come back and come play.
[16:48] Speaker 2: But some people don't want to get that. Some people don't.
[16:50] Speaker 2: You're going to come back in 30 days. You're going
[16:52] Speaker 2: to play well. You're going to play well. That 30
[16:54] Speaker 2: can turn into 45. 360. We're going to give you
[16:56] Speaker 2: another 15 days.
[16:56] Speaker 1: You look around, you're living down here for real.
[16:58] Speaker 2: So that's why.
[16:59] Speaker 1: Baseball is, and for some people, baseball is a better product.
[17:16] Speaker 2: Football is a better product than the NBA, right? Major
[17:18] Speaker 2: League Baseball and the NFL is a better product than
[17:20] Speaker 2: the NBA. Because of that, right? You got to go
[17:24] Speaker 2: to school for three years in football. You have to.
[17:26] Speaker 2: There's no way around it. And the WNBA for that.
[17:29] Speaker 1: Yeah. And they ain't got great products.
[17:31] Speaker 2: I'm going to put them in it as well because
[17:32] Speaker 2: of the development and the skill part of it that
[17:34] Speaker 2: they have to go through each year. They are skill-wise
[17:40] Speaker 2: compared to the NBA, they're head and shoulders above better
[17:44] Speaker 2: than us, right? Because you have to be a certain
[17:48] Speaker 2: age to get in.
[17:51] Speaker 4: Baseball might draft you out.
[17:55] Speaker 1: Of high school, but you not going right out of
[17:58] Speaker 1: high school.
[17:59] Speaker 2: No, you not playing in the pros at 19.
[18:01] Speaker 1: You got a triple A, then you can go.
[18:06] Speaker 5: If you special, you special. Yeah, if you special, you special.
[18:09] Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. But everybody not special.
[18:12] Speaker 1: Exceptions to this rule.
[18:14] Speaker 2: A LeBron James is an exception to this rule.
[18:18] Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is an exception to certain rules.
[18:22] Speaker 2: Certain people's exception to these rules, yes. But these people are,
[18:29] Speaker 2: they have spent time learning the fundamentals of their craft
[18:33] Speaker 2: or their sport and been coached hard at this. So
[18:38] Speaker 2: when they get to the profession that they're going into,
[18:41] Speaker 2: They ready. Yep.
[18:43] Speaker 1: Yep.
[18:44] Speaker 2: It's not like, damn, he has potential. Like, nah, this
[18:47] Speaker 2: motherfucker can play. Yeah.
[18:49] Speaker 1: Right?
[18:49] Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, so when you get to them, like, this motherfucker,
[18:52] Speaker 2: he really good, man. Like, et cetera.
[18:54] Speaker 1: Like, huh.
[18:56] Speaker 2: We're wondering. What is the potential? But what is the potential?
[19:00] Speaker 2: That's what we've been doing, ain't it?
[19:01] Speaker 3: Right.
[19:01] Speaker 2: Ain't that what we've been doing? Sitting around, hmm. I
[19:04] Speaker 2: wonder what kind of potential this is.
[19:07] Speaker 1: Things that make you say, hmm.
[19:08] Speaker 2: What the fuck?
[19:11] Speaker 5: But what makes European like what European guys make us
[19:15] Speaker 5: want to train like them?
[19:16] Speaker 2: It's only a certain amount. It's only a certain amount.
[19:19] Speaker 2: Why are they like the standard? Because they're so much better.
[19:22] Speaker 1: And you think about how we use them in our system?
[19:26] Speaker 1: They are finely tuned oil machines for our system. So
[19:30] Speaker 1: two of the three best guys that we're speaking of, right?
[19:33] Speaker 1: They're not athletic.
[19:34] Speaker 2: At all. They're not running by you. At all. Joker
[19:37] Speaker 2: and Luke. The other guy don't count because his name
[19:41] Speaker 2: says it all.
[19:41] Speaker 1: He's a fucking freak of nature. We don't even know
[19:44] Speaker 1: what he is. That's an alien name anyway. Absolutely.
[19:47] Speaker 2: But the other two guys, right? They're not athletic. They're
[19:51] Speaker 2: not running past you.
[20:00] Speaker 5: But I'm saying... They busting ass, man. Four names compared to...
[20:07] Speaker 5: We're talking about the skill set, though.
[20:09] Speaker 2: We're even referencing what he's saying. What they doing, though?
[20:12] Speaker 2: Skill set.
[20:13] Speaker 1: What Luka has done at this age.
[20:14] Speaker 2: What Luka, 25?
[20:15] Speaker 6: Maybe 26?
[20:15] Speaker 2: What he has done at.
[20:16] Speaker 1: What?
[20:16] Speaker 2: How many first teams?
[20:17] Speaker 1: Five first teams?
[20:18] Speaker 2: Come on, man.
[20:28] Speaker 5: But it's like LeBron of Europe.
[20:30] Speaker 1: Yes.
[20:31] Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to say.
[20:32] Speaker 6: Yes.
[20:32] Speaker 2: Besides this. Without jumping over you or running by you.
[20:37] Speaker 2: So I got to. Without jumping by you. What about
[20:40] Speaker 2: the last? Imagine if he could. Imagine if he had
[20:42] Speaker 2: half of LeBron's athleticism. It would be over. Half of it.
[20:45] Speaker 2: I'm saying what about the last?
[20:47] Speaker 1: He don't even need all of it.
[20:50] Speaker 2: Just give him half of it.
[20:51] Speaker 1: I think that's what he's saying. He's like, yeah, they
[20:56] Speaker 1: drooling over potential of the European players because of these
[20:59] Speaker 1: two and what they brought because we overlooked their potential.
[21:04] Speaker 1: We overlooked Joker and Luke. And now they're like, we
[21:07] Speaker 1: can't ever do that again. Now they're going after people
[21:09] Speaker 1: that look like Young's, right?
[21:12] Speaker 2: Young, thin, skilled, but they.
[21:16] Speaker 2: Fucking arms and hands, this motherfucker.
[21:18] Speaker 1: He going to be something.
[21:19] Speaker 2: He going to be something.
[21:20] Speaker 4: So their athleticism and size is kind of catching up.
[21:24] Speaker 5: But I'm saying besides the look of this stuff, I'm
[21:27] Speaker 5: talking about like the two, number one, the one and
[21:29] Speaker 5: two pick. Compared to our Americans, how do they stand out?
[21:33] Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. What is this? They don't. Why
[21:35] Speaker 2: did the Europe become the standard?
[21:37] Speaker 1: They don't. went one and two.
[21:38] Speaker 2: Because you got Edie.
[21:40] Speaker 1: And Kadek, which is the two guys who go one
[21:42] Speaker 1: and two.
[21:43] Speaker 2: They look like Wimby.
[21:45] Speaker 1: They look like Wimby and they like, hey, man. He
[21:48] Speaker 1: might be Wimby.
[21:49] Speaker 2: They drink the same water.
[21:50] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
[21:55] Speaker 2: Hey, man, we need to see what they doing over there.
[21:58] Speaker 1: Good enough. Good enough. Right?
[22:00] Speaker 3: You got Rish Ashae who came over and said he
[22:02] Speaker 3: was super athletic playing in France, came over here, he
[22:05] Speaker 3: wasn't shit.
[22:05] Speaker 1: Regular dude.
[22:06] Speaker 2: Lice can do it with a curl. Regular dude. That's
[22:08] Speaker 2: the only thing I would say.
[22:10] Speaker 1: That's the only thing I would say.
[22:11] Speaker 2: The athletic part, yes. The athleticism, yes. We still stand
[22:15] Speaker 2: out in that area.
[22:16] Speaker 1: Yeah. So I have an update for everybody on the show.
[22:18] Speaker 1: We grew up jumping fences and shit and running from dogs. Hey,
[22:20] Speaker 1: that part that they have no idea.
[22:23] Speaker 5: When you see that dog, you don't know what to do.
[22:27] Speaker 2: Don't move.
[22:29] Speaker 1: Athletic and shit, vertical on top of that bitch.
[22:32] Speaker 2: Oh, my God, this boy's Spider-Man. Where the dog at?
[22:35] Speaker 2: Where the dog at? The dog gone.
[22:36] Speaker 1: He been gone.
[22:37] Speaker 6: He been gone.
[22:40] Speaker 3: So, got an update for the show. Gil not here
[22:43] Speaker 3: on the couch. Don't know his whereabouts, but we do
[22:45] Speaker 3: know he is.
[22:45] Speaker 2: In the chat.
[22:47] Speaker 3: He commented about five minutes ago, said, Championship Gil in
[22:50] Speaker 3: the chat. Ladies and gentlemen, I know he's watching, so
[22:53] Speaker 3: be on your best behavior.
[22:54] Speaker 6: Hey, Gil.
[22:55] Speaker 2: Gil, whatever I said at the top of the show, Gil,
[22:57] Speaker 2: you know I was just kidding. You know, right?
[22:58] Speaker 1: All right?
[22:59] Speaker 2: We good.
[23:00] Speaker 1: Stop the cat.
[23:02] Speaker 3: But one more question on this subject for y'all. Back
[23:05] Speaker 3: in the day, I don't know if y'all remember, McDonald's
[23:06] Speaker 3: used to do that world championship. I believe the Bulls
[23:08] Speaker 3: and Spurs went out there, sent their NBA championship team
[23:11] Speaker 3: to go play. How interested would you be to see
[23:14] Speaker 3: a world championship between the NBA champs and EuroLeague champs?
[23:18] Speaker 2: It'd have to be over there. We already had this.
[23:21] Speaker 2: Didn't we say yes? Twice already.
[23:23] Speaker 1: Hell no.
[23:24] Speaker 6: I thought we wanted to see that.
[23:25] Speaker 1: Nobody want to see that massacre?
[23:27] Speaker 2: Yeah, we do want to see it.
[23:28] Speaker 6: Yes, we do.
[23:29] Speaker 1: I want to see it as a reminder. Y'all still Europe.
[23:32] Speaker 1: You know why we want to see it? Because we've
[23:34] Speaker 1: never seen it before.
[23:35] Speaker 2: I ain't seen it. We've never seen it before.
[23:37] Speaker 1: And they strongly believe they got a chance to win.
[23:39] Speaker 2: That's crazy.
[23:40] Speaker 1: They strongly believe it. Like, you ain't got the Olympic team.
[23:43] Speaker 1: Y'all ain't the Olympics. Y'all just the Boston Celtics. You
[23:46] Speaker 1: just Boston. We got a chance against some of y'all
[23:48] Speaker 1: over there. I'm sure if Gil was here, he would
[23:50] Speaker 1: say not a chance.
[23:52] Speaker 2: When I buy a lottery ticket, I think I got
[23:53] Speaker 2: a chance.
[23:54] Speaker 1: To win, too.
[23:54] Speaker 2: Until you win. And they never won. They do come.
[23:58] Speaker 2: They play in preseason. Luck ain't on your side. I
[24:00] Speaker 2: won last week.
[24:00] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
[24:01] Speaker 2: They do. They play in preseason.
[24:03] Speaker 1: But listen, you can bring the champs over there. They
[24:05] Speaker 1: come over here and win in preseason.
[24:07] Speaker 2: They beat Dallas. Real Madrid beat Dallas.
[24:09] Speaker 1: Bring the champs.
[24:10] Speaker 2: Bring whoever wins the EuroLeague champs over there. Whatever the
[24:13] Speaker 2: best league is over there. That team. Bring them.
[24:17] Speaker 6: Bring them here.
[24:19] Speaker 2: And play a series. Let me ask you a question.
[24:21] Speaker 1: Can they beat any NBA team? Yeah.
[24:24] Speaker 2: On one game?
[24:25] Speaker 6: One game, anybody.
[24:26] Speaker 1: One game, yes.
[24:27] Speaker 2: Not in the series, no. Not in the series. So
[24:29] Speaker 2: if we was doing one game, there's a chance that
[24:31] Speaker 2: they could.
[24:32] Speaker 6: Against the NBA champs?
[24:32] Speaker 2: Against the NBA champs. Against the Washington Wizards right now,
[24:34] Speaker 2: they could possibly get a shot.
[24:36] Speaker 3: What about a EuroLeague All-Star team coming over and playing?
[24:40] Speaker 1: All-Stars?
[24:41] Speaker 2: No, just a regular All-Star team versus a regular team.
[24:44] Speaker 6: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[24:45] Speaker 2: You're an All-Star. I like that. Or just like the Jazz.
[24:49] Speaker 2: I like that. Blazers. I like that a lot. Let's start.
[24:52] Speaker 1: Because there's going to be a lot of NBA players
[24:54] Speaker 1: on that All-Star team, Euro.
[24:56] Speaker 2: Yeah, but I say they make best players.
[24:58] Speaker 6: Not necessarily.
[24:59] Speaker 2: No, yes, necessarily.
[25:01] Speaker 1: All the Euro All-Stars are former NBA players who are very,
[25:05] Speaker 1: very good Euros.
[25:06] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
[25:07] Speaker 1: No, Brandon, you got to be born there.
[25:09] Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm about to say.
[25:13] Speaker 2: You can't pass him up.
[25:14] Speaker 1: Yeah, we ain't talking about you.
[25:16] Speaker 5: Lonnie Walker is going to be quick walking on it.
[25:19] Speaker 2: That's exactly how they feel, too. Like, what?
[25:21] Speaker 6: I get to play on the EuroLeague against them?
[25:22] Speaker 2: And I get to shoot all those shots? They didn't
[25:25] Speaker 2: want me to shoot, dude. So we asked the chat,
[25:27] Speaker 2: do you like the idea of an NBA EuroLeague? Y'all
[25:29] Speaker 2: saw dudes that never played in the league in the
[25:31] Speaker 2: big three in front of y'all. What y'all thought?
[25:33] Speaker 1: Yeah. Same thing I've done all my life.
[25:35] Speaker 2: Lunch meat.
[25:38] Speaker 1: On one leg, you still like, man, give me the ball, man.
[25:42] Speaker 1: Lunch meat.
[25:44] Speaker 2: Come on, man. Home drills. Home drills.
[25:47] Speaker 3: Like I said, we asked the chat, do you like
[25:49] Speaker 3: the idea of an NBA EuroLeague, 63%, Said yes. Well,
[25:53] Speaker 3: let's get to some current NBA basketball. Great night of
[25:58] Speaker 3: NBA Cup action as the last two teams punch their
[26:01] Speaker 3: tickets to the semifinals in Sin City. Let's start by
[26:04] Speaker 3: diving into the Western Conference quarterfinal between the Warriors and
[26:07] Speaker 3: Rockets in Houston with that red court. It looked like
[26:11] Speaker 3: the depths of hell, as Steve Kerr said. It was
[26:13] Speaker 3: a kind of back-and-forth, 90-style.
[26:14] Speaker 2: Low-scoring game. So, whoop.
[26:17] Speaker 3: Jonathan Kaminga led the Warriors with 20 points on 8
[26:20] Speaker 3: for 20 shooting in 36 minutes. Steph Curry had 19
[26:23] Speaker 3: points on 8 for 17 shooting, hitting three of his
[26:25] Speaker 3: nine three-point attempts and missing his only free-throw attempt of
[26:28] Speaker 3: the game. Alperin Shangoon put his stamp on the game,
[26:31] Speaker 3: leading all scorers with 26 points on 10 for 18 shooting.
[26:34] Speaker 3: Also had 11 rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes
[26:37] Speaker 3: of work. And Jalen Green had 12 points, none more
[26:41] Speaker 3: important than his two free throws to give the Rockets
[26:43] Speaker 3: a 91-90 lead that they would hold on to for
[26:46] Speaker 3: the victory.
[26:47] Speaker 2: Oh, FVV. Championship experience.
[26:52] Speaker 1: Mm.
[26:53] Speaker 6: Mm.
[26:53] Speaker 2: I appreciate Goon.
[26:55] Speaker 1: Oh, Lord.
[26:55] Speaker 2: Doing his thing. He said, get that Eurotra game, young man.
[26:59] Speaker 2: And he took it to heart.
[27:01] Speaker 3: Those free throws that I mentioned from Jalen Green were
[27:04] Speaker 3: very controversial as Green dove on the floor for a
[27:07] Speaker 3: loose ball and was trying to call a timeout when
[27:08] Speaker 3: a foul was called on Jonathan Kaminga.
[27:11] Speaker 2: Instead, ref said he reached over. Oh, that ref over there? Yeah,
[27:15] Speaker 2: you know. You know what time it is. Oh, come on.
[27:19] Speaker 2: No way.
[27:20] Speaker 3: Giving Green those two free throws. The Rockets win. Oh,
[27:24] Speaker 3: but Steph, 3.5 seconds left. That's why Kersade didn't challenge.
[27:27] Speaker 3: Steph inbounded to Pods. Pods got a shot blocked.
[27:30] Speaker 2: A lot of Warriors... fans on Twitter last night. Wow.
[27:33] Speaker 3: A little too turnt up, you know, asking for a
[27:36] Speaker 3: pod scalp. Just a little too much. A little salty.
[27:39] Speaker 3: So Rockets win snapped a 15-game losing streak against the Warriors.
[27:44] Speaker 3: Rockets got their first dub on the dub since February 20th, 2020.
[27:50] Speaker 2: So needless to say, yeah, it's been a minute.
[27:51] Speaker 1: I was just about to say 2005. Needless to say, Steve.
[27:56] Speaker 3: Kerr was absolutely furious with the call. He did not
[27:57] Speaker 3: hold back on the refs. when he was asked about
[28:00] Speaker 3: that foul in his post-game press conference.
[28:03] Speaker 7: I've never seen a loose ball foul on a jump
[28:06] Speaker 7: ball situation 80 feet from the basket with the game
[28:09] Speaker 7: on the line. I've never seen that. I think I
[28:14] Speaker 7: saw it in college one time 30 years ago. Never
[28:18] Speaker 7: seen it in the NBA. That is– I mean– Unconscionable.
[28:27] Speaker 7: I don't even understand what just happened. Loose ball, diving
[28:33] Speaker 7: on the floor, 80 feet from the basket, and you're
[28:38] Speaker 7: going to give a guy two free throws to decide
[28:40] Speaker 7: the game when people are scrambling for the ball. Just
[28:43] Speaker 7: give them a timeout. Give them a timeout and let
[28:45] Speaker 7: the players decide the game. That's how you officiate. especially
[28:51] Speaker 7: because the game was a complete wrestling match.
[28:54] Speaker 2: They didn't call anything.
[28:55] Speaker 7: Steph Curry got hit on the elbow, playing his day
[28:58] Speaker 7: on a jump shot, just clubbed right on there, no call.
[29:01] Speaker 7: So you've established you're just not going to call anything
[29:04] Speaker 7: throughout the game.
[29:05] Speaker 2: It's a physical game.
[29:06] Speaker 7: We're going to call it a loose ball foul on
[29:09] Speaker 7: a jump ball situation with guys diving on the floor?
[29:12] Speaker 2: Ain't going on.
[29:14] Speaker 7: With the game on the line? This is a billion-dollar industry.
[29:19] Speaker 7: You've got people's jobs on the line. I am stunned.
[29:25] Speaker 7: I give the Rockets credit.
[29:27] Speaker 1: I feel for our guys.
[29:31] Speaker 6: Our guys battled back, played their asses.
[29:33] Speaker 7: Off, and deserved to win that game or at least
[29:35] Speaker 7: have a chance for one stop at the end.
[29:39] Speaker 2: To finish the game and that was taken from us by.
[29:43] Speaker 7: A call that I don't think an elementary school referee
[29:46] Speaker 7: would have made because that guy would have had feel
[29:50] Speaker 7: and said you know what I'm not going to decide
[29:51] Speaker 7: a game on a loose ball 80 feet from the basket.
[29:54] Speaker 3: You know what you're right Dave Kerr had a very
[29:57] Speaker 3: shiny nose um As a documented Warriors hater, I just
[30:02] Speaker 3: would like to salute the officiating for that gussy call.
[30:05] Speaker 2: That was crazy. Gussy call.
[30:08] Speaker 1: The rules are the rules. Do we know who made
[30:10] Speaker 1: the call? What rule?
[30:12] Speaker 2: Do we know who made the call? Who made the call? Scott? Bill?
[30:16] Speaker 2: Family guy? Family guy made the call. I don't even
[30:22] Speaker 2: know why you called him that. I don't know why
[30:24] Speaker 2: you called him that. I was going to ask, but
[30:25] Speaker 2: I just feel like it may open up a can
[30:26] Speaker 2: of worms. It may seem like it was Cleveland.
[30:28] Speaker 1: It's Cleveland. You talking, you say he look like Cleveland?
[30:31] Speaker 2: No.
[30:31] Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
[30:33] Speaker 2: You got the mustache. No, fucking Bill Kennedy with that bullshit, man.
[30:37] Speaker 2: You don't call that shit, dog.
[30:38] Speaker 3: So we'll get to the foul call itself in a second,
[30:40] Speaker 3: but was it worth the eventual fine for Kerr to
[30:43] Speaker 3: get that off of his chest?
[30:44] Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
[30:44] Speaker 2: He got it. Oh, they sent it to him. He
[30:47] Speaker 2: got the email already. He got the bread, though. He
[30:49] Speaker 2: already got the email. They're about $ 100, 000 worth.
[30:53] Speaker 6: You think? They're about $ 100, 000.
[30:55] Speaker 2: That's too much.
[30:57] Speaker 1: That's too much.
[30:58] Speaker 6: That's too much.
[30:58] Speaker 1: That's a pocket.
[30:59] Speaker 2: That's a lot out of the pocket. That's a lot. Yeah,
[31:03] Speaker 2: it's something like... He wasn't... $ 25, 000.
[31:05] Speaker 1: $ 25, 000.
[31:05] Speaker 3: Integrity of the game.
[31:06] Speaker 1: $ 25, 000. Give me $ 25, 000. I gotta give you $ 25, 000. Yeah, public.
[31:09] Speaker 2: Yeah, public criticism of official, like Steve said.
[31:12] Speaker 1: Well, usually, is that usually $ 100, 000?
[31:14] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's something... You know what I mean, man?
[31:16] Speaker 6: A hundred? Really?
[31:17] Speaker 2: He ain't usually a hundred. It's like 20, 25.
[31:20] Speaker 5: This ain't the first.
[31:22] Speaker 1: Time Steve Kerr's taken the issue. He's habitual like Draymond.
[31:29] Speaker 2: He didn't tell them about themselves a few times, which
[31:31] Speaker 2: you should, man. Just for the record. No, I think
[31:36] Speaker 2: it would have been worse. You got to see the
[31:37] Speaker 2: thing about it. You got to call him by name.
[31:40] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[31:41] Speaker 2: In that situation... Bill. You got to call him by name.
[31:44] Speaker 1: Listen, Bill.
[31:45] Speaker 2: No, like Bill Kennedy. William.
[31:47] Speaker 1: Bill Kennedy.
[31:47] Speaker 2: There's no way you should call that. Single him out.
[31:50] Speaker 3: I do take issue with one thing that Kurt said.
[31:53] Speaker 3: Elementary refs would call that. I don't know if he's
[31:55] Speaker 3: familiar with the officiating. They would call it a foul.
[31:58] Speaker 2: It's very natural. They'll call it jump ball.
[31:59] Speaker 1: No.
[31:59] Speaker 2: They wouldn't call it a foul. They'll call it jump ball.
[32:01] Speaker 2: They'll call it jump ball.
[32:02] Speaker 6: They call it a foul on the first little scramble,
[32:03] Speaker 6: not the second one.
[32:04] Speaker 1: Yeah, they probably call it a foul on the first one.
[32:05] Speaker 6: They call it the first little scramble, not the second one.
[32:07] Speaker 2: They could have called it a foul on very relief
[32:08] Speaker 2: for jumping on... Gary Payton. Anytime you're diving a loose ball,
[32:12] Speaker 2: you don't call a foul, period.
[32:13] Speaker 1: If you look at the clip from the beginning, let's
[32:15] Speaker 1: go back. If you look at the clip from the beginning.
[32:17] Speaker 2: We don't call a foul unless it's obvious it was
[32:19] Speaker 2: a foul. If you look at the clip from the beginning,
[32:21] Speaker 2: when GP had the ball.
[32:23] Speaker 3: Let's take a look at that play again. If we could, please, Paolo,
[32:25] Speaker 3: one time. If that's okay with you, Swaggy.
[32:27] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool. Okay, thank you. I'll just make sure.
[32:30] Speaker 2: It is your arena. So let's take another look at
[32:32] Speaker 2: the play. So he dove on him, right? That's a foul.
[32:35] Speaker 1: That's a foul. But the thing is, look where he's
[32:38] Speaker 1: standing at. He could have called him. Bill's at the bottom.
[32:41] Speaker 1: Bill's at the bottom, right? You could have called a
[32:44] Speaker 1: foul on Fred for diving on G.
[32:46] Speaker 2: Keep going. Keep going.
[32:48] Speaker 1: Keep going.
[32:49] Speaker 5: Stop.
[32:50] Speaker 2: Look at Green jumping in there.
[32:52] Speaker 1: I'm thinking this whole thing was supposed to be like
[32:54] Speaker 1: Kaminga about to get injured.
[32:55] Speaker 2: Yo, they both... Got hands on the ball right now.
[32:58] Speaker 1: Okay. Go. Right?
[33:00] Speaker 2: Frame by frame. How you get to a foul from here?
[33:02] Speaker 1: All right. Nobody got it. Jalen got it right now.
[33:05] Speaker 6: Probably because Kaminga's arm went over.
[33:07] Speaker 1: Nah, but Jalen has it. Jalen has it right now.
[33:09] Speaker 1: Kaminga don't got it.
[33:11] Speaker 2: Keep going. Kaminga has to turn around.
[33:13] Speaker 6: Kaminga goes over Jalen Green's neck.
[33:15] Speaker 1: Keep going.
[33:16] Speaker 2: There's no foul called. There's nothing happening. All the time.
[33:21] Speaker 1: All right, the loose ball foul has to be Kaminga
[33:24] Speaker 1: trying to grab the ball right there.
[33:25] Speaker 2: Kaminga reaching over. He's trying to go around.
[33:27] Speaker 6: But I'm still not calling that.
[33:28] Speaker 2: You don't call that shit, though. He's not in position
[33:30] Speaker 2: for it to be a fair call, though.
[33:31] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[33:32] Speaker 6: How can he even see?
[33:33] Speaker 1: Bill's down on the bottom. Yeah, how do you see that?
[33:35] Speaker 1: He's looking between Looney and Shaq. Between?
[33:38] Speaker 6: That one should be the one to call it.
[33:40] Speaker 1: Because look, between Looney and the other dude over there,
[33:42] Speaker 1: there's a gap.
[33:43] Speaker 2: There's a gap.
[33:43] Speaker 1: To Lexi's point, though.
[33:45] Speaker 2: Why the hell he didn't call?
[33:46] Speaker 6: He got the clearest view.
[33:48] Speaker 2: Why he didn't call it? Yeah, he does have the
[33:49] Speaker 2: clearest view. Why he didn't call it? Look at him.
[33:52] Speaker 2: Play it. Play it frame for frame. Watch him.
[33:54] Speaker 1: And if you call anything, look, this man is on
[33:57] Speaker 1: the floor. Steve Kerr on the court.
[33:59] Speaker 2: Watch him.
[34:00] Speaker 1: Listen, there's a whole lot of shit in this moment
[34:03] Speaker 1: that you could call. You got three referees out there.
[34:06] Speaker 1: There's a whole lot of shit that you can call
[34:08] Speaker 1: in this moment. Five seconds to go.
[34:09] Speaker 2: Frame it forward. I thought they called. I thought they called. Look, look, look, look.
[34:14] Speaker 2: The top ref right now. The three-point line, like, swing
[34:17] Speaker 2: that bitch. Top ref, top, the top ref.
[34:19] Speaker 1: Swing, swing, motherfucker. Top ref is really saying right now,
[34:23] Speaker 1: I can call it, but it ain't nothing to call.
[34:25] Speaker 1: Ain't nothing to call. Ain't nothing to call. Frame it again.
[34:28] Speaker 1: Frame it some more.
[34:29] Speaker 2: I would call a check on Steve Kerr for being
[34:30] Speaker 2: on the court, but that's the first thing.
[34:32] Speaker 1: I'm going to rule.
[34:33] Speaker 2: Look, he's still, look.
[34:34] Speaker 1: He got nothing. Look, he ain't calling shit. Look, Brooke's
[34:41] Speaker 1: calling timeout.
[34:42] Speaker 2: Brooke and Jabari.
[34:43] Speaker 1: Jabari is too.
[34:46] Speaker 2: Look, timeout, timeout, timeout.
[34:48] Speaker 1: Can you go.
[34:51] Speaker 2: To the TV facing the camera if you want to?
[34:54] Speaker 2: Frame four. Frame four. Come on, man. Look, look, look.
[34:58] Speaker 1: He's telling Steve to move out the way. Move, Steve.
[35:01] Speaker 2: I still see nothing.
[35:03] Speaker 1: I still don't see nothing. Nothing to call. Keep going. Forward.
[35:08] Speaker 2: The whole team calling him out.
[35:09] Speaker 1: Look.
[35:10] Speaker 2: Nothing. Everybody call a timeout, timeout, timeout.
[35:12] Speaker 6: Oh, because they ain't got a ball no more.
[35:13] Speaker 1: Well, hey, look, Kaminga only has one hand on the ball.
[35:16] Speaker 1: Now Looney involved. Ain't nobody still calling. Now he's calling
[35:20] Speaker 1: a foul right now. He's in position to call.
[35:21] Speaker 2: Look, he's moving around.
[35:22] Speaker 1: He's still trying to call.
[35:23] Speaker 2: Do we know who they called the foul on?
[35:25] Speaker 1: Kaminga.
[35:26] Speaker 2: They called it on Kaminga. Man, come on, man.
[35:29] Speaker 6: Like, at this point, I would have called it on Looney.
[35:32] Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, that's what I'm thinking. I'm like, who they
[35:35] Speaker 1: give it to?
[35:35] Speaker 2: Hey, hold on, hold on.
[35:37] Speaker 1: Let's just hold it right here. Don't look at Dylan Brooks.
[35:41] Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks, like, thank you for the timeout. He's like, no, yeah,
[35:45] Speaker 1: you right, just a foul. He thought he gave him
[35:47] Speaker 1: the timeout.
[35:48] Speaker 2: Hey, good. Hey, rewind it a little bit.
[35:50] Speaker 6: That's, like, shocking stuff.
[35:51] Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks thought he gave him the timeout. Keep going.
[35:54] Speaker 1: I really appreciate the couch disrespecting the integrity of the game.
[35:57] Speaker 1: He going.
[35:57] Speaker 2: Look, the fish was made to talk. Look, right there,
[35:59] Speaker 2: right there.
[36:00] Speaker 1: So he thinking give him the time out.
[36:01] Speaker 2: Play it. Time, time, time, time. He's not happy, like, yeah. Look, look.
[36:08] Speaker 2: Watch this. Oh, yeah, he gave us a foul. He
[36:12] Speaker 2: gave us a foul. Look at Steve.
[36:14] Speaker 1: No way.
[36:15] Speaker 2: I know Steve. He's disgusting.
[36:17] Speaker 1: No way.
[36:19] Speaker 2: Steve, normally, I'm proud of Steve Kerr, though. Because normally, oh, no,
[36:24] Speaker 2: he would have been on, listen, yeah. Yes, he normally,
[36:27] Speaker 2: he would be on the floor right now. They would
[36:29] Speaker 2: have to hold him back normally.
[36:29] Speaker 4: Well, he knew because they still had a chance to
[36:31] Speaker 4: win even with the free throws.
[36:32] Speaker 1: But realistically, from the view he had, he knows also
[36:35] Speaker 1: in his soul that was a foul.
[36:38] Speaker 4: Huh?
[36:41] Speaker 6: He knows.
[36:41] Speaker 2: Not on Kaminga, though.
[36:43] Speaker 1: On Kaminga.
[36:43] Speaker 2: That wasn't no foul. Thank you, Shot.
[36:45] Speaker 1: The questionable thing, if you're really looking at it, He
[36:48] Speaker 1: got his hand on one hand.
[36:50] Speaker 2: He don't have two hands. So why the ref didn't
[36:52] Speaker 2: call in at the center? So what's the best view?
[36:54] Speaker 2: All I'm saying is.
[36:55] Speaker 6: Why did he wait till Looney jumped on top?
[36:58] Speaker 2: All I'm saying is it was a foul. No, you're right.
[37:03] Speaker 2: Bill Kent is an inexperienced official. Look at his legs.
[37:06] Speaker 6: Look at this angle.
[37:07] Speaker 2: Foul.
[37:08] Speaker 1: That's a foul on Fred for diving on motherfuckers. All that.
[37:12] Speaker 1: All that. Go back.
[37:13] Speaker 2: Go back frame to frame. Look. He smacked him in
[37:15] Speaker 2: the face.
[37:15] Speaker 1: Back to the game on the line. He smacked him
[37:17] Speaker 1: in the face. Holy shit. Slowly.
[37:19] Speaker 2: Slowly. No place for that in the game. The game
[37:21] Speaker 2: on the line. You don't call it.
[37:23] Speaker 6: Slowly.
[37:23] Speaker 2: He hadn't called it yet. Slowly.
[37:25] Speaker 1: Slowly. Right here.
[37:26] Speaker 2: That's all foul right there.
[37:29] Speaker 1: Look. Remember. Hey, next. When you grab somebody... No diddy.
[37:34] Speaker 1: From behind.
[37:35] Speaker 2: It's a foul.
[37:36] Speaker 6: But he was already there, though.
[37:37] Speaker 1: But it's a foul.
[37:38] Speaker 6: He was like that because Jalen moved.
[37:40] Speaker 1: You're behind him.
[37:41] Speaker 2: He's on the side of him. Regardless. Jalen set up.
[37:45] Speaker 6: Look, look, look. Right here.
[37:46] Speaker 2: Jalen's on the ground first. Jalen set up.
[37:48] Speaker 1: Keep going. Keep going. Right here.
[37:51] Speaker 2: Right here. He ain't got the ball. He ain't got
[37:54] Speaker 2: the ball. He ain't got the ball. Because they're fouling him.
[37:57] Speaker 2: They're fouling him. It's not a fucking fight. They're fouling him.
[38:01] Speaker 2: It ain't no goddamn fight. I have to agree with you. Man,
[38:03] Speaker 2: these dudes out here playing for half a million dollars, man,
[38:05] Speaker 2: and you call that shit? That's bullshit, dog. I think
[38:08] Speaker 2: they went to see Houston.
[38:08] Speaker 1: The game on the line, man. You don't call that shit.
[38:11] Speaker 2: You know who I picked?
[38:11] Speaker 1: That's why the other two refs didn't call.
[38:13] Speaker 2: You know who I picked? I picked Houston.
[38:14] Speaker 6: You picked Houston? What, to win the cup?
[38:16] Speaker 1: Yeah. No, no, to beat them. Like that? Beat the Warriors? Yeah.
[38:19] Speaker 2: So you must have known about the 15 straight before
[38:22] Speaker 2: you picked them. No, I did.
[38:23] Speaker 1: I did.
[38:23] Speaker 2: I just knew this was a bad matchup for them.
[38:25] Speaker 1: They just beat them the other day with no Steph
[38:28] Speaker 1: and no Draymond.
[38:28] Speaker 2: But guess what they just did?
[38:29] Speaker 1: So how is that a bad matchup?
[38:30] Speaker 2: They just lost. That was a fucking.
[38:33] Speaker 5: Great matchup because my team won.
[38:36] Speaker 2: What the fuck are you talking about?
[38:37] Speaker 1: I said my team got a chance to beat them.
[38:39] Speaker 1: No Steph and no Draymond, and it's a good matchup
[38:41] Speaker 1: for them?
[38:41] Speaker 2: No, they got cheated. Green is credit.
[38:44] Speaker 1: They hit him.
[38:45] Speaker 2: They got cheated. Okay, they gave him free throws for
[38:47] Speaker 2: no fucking reason. He made them, absolutely.
[38:49] Speaker 3: What we do know is those free throws didn't decide
[38:51] Speaker 3: the game because Steph Curry had an opportunity, you know,
[38:54] Speaker 3: and the Warriors had an opportunity to get a shot.
[38:56] Speaker 2: That was the play they ran to Pops. Should have
[38:58] Speaker 2: came to that. See, that's another thing.
[39:01] Speaker 5: They traded Klay for Pop, and you throw it to
[39:04] Speaker 5: them for game.
[39:04] Speaker 1: You want to lose.
[39:05] Speaker 3: And the Steph took that three up one. Little questionable.
[39:08] Speaker 3: That led to this whole... So.
[39:11] Speaker 2: So you can't do.
[39:12] Speaker 6: No, no, no.
[39:13] Speaker 2: Hold on. You lose the game the way you lose
[39:15] Speaker 2: the game. But I'm not going to... The way you
[39:17] Speaker 2: play the game.
[39:18] Speaker 1: So we're not even going to sit here and complain
[39:19] Speaker 1: about a game.
[39:20] Speaker 2: But we're not going to do that, Joe.
[39:21] Speaker 1: Because you played the game the wrong way. And now
[39:23] Speaker 1: you ended up on the wrong side of the game.
[39:26] Speaker 1: And now you complaining about losing.
[39:28] Speaker 2: We don't play that shit.
[39:29] Speaker 1: You can't fuck the game over and expect to get fucked.
[39:32] Speaker 1: Come on, man. No. Hey, you saying a lot of
[39:36] Speaker 1: ditty stuff.
[39:38] Speaker 2: You don't call that, though.
[39:39] Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'm not going to lie. That's
[39:41] Speaker 1: a bad call.
[39:42] Speaker 2: I won't even allow my Warriors hate to sway my
[39:44] Speaker 2: vision like that. Wiping it in real time is like,
[39:47] Speaker 2: you just don't decide the game like that every moment.
[39:50] Speaker 2: Hard-fought games. I expected one of them other dudes to
[39:52] Speaker 2: call that, not Bill. Bill, you've been around too long.
[39:55] Speaker 1: But like Steve Kerr pointed out, game was super physical.
[39:58] Speaker 1: They let a lot of stuff go. If one of
[40:01] Speaker 1: them other dudes would have called it, I would have
[40:03] Speaker 1: expected that from them.
[40:04] Speaker 6: I have a question.
[40:05] Speaker 2: Bill Kennedy, you've been around this game entirely too long, dog. Like,
[40:09] Speaker 2: you and your, like, 20-something. You don't call that, man. Yeah,
[40:12] Speaker 2: but we got what we needed. We got what we needed.
[40:14] Speaker 1: All the refs.
[40:16] Speaker 4: Like, responsible for, like, low-scoring versus high-scoring games.
[40:20] Speaker 2: They can affect them.
[40:22] Speaker 4: Because I've never really thought about that until these last
[40:24] Speaker 4: few cup games and how low-scoring they've been.
[40:27] Speaker 6: They've been, like, super physical.
[40:29] Speaker 1: Yeah, they let it go.
[40:31] Speaker 4: Because I always thought, like, okay, playoff games, people are
[40:33] Speaker 4: just more locked in defensively. But then I just feel like, no,
[40:36] Speaker 4: I feel like they let a lot more.
[40:38] Speaker 6: Things go.
[40:39] Speaker 2: It's harder to score than him at that point. You
[40:41] Speaker 2: are locked in more.
[40:42] Speaker 1: Yeah, but, like.
[40:43] Speaker 6: Nick is an NBA champion. They shot nine.
[40:45] Speaker 2: They won three free throws. They won the playoffs. They
[40:48] Speaker 2: had to go out.
[40:49] Speaker 6: And root again.
[40:50] Speaker 2: In the playoffs, though, the reason it's the way it is.
[40:53] Speaker 1: Oh, wait, I lied.
[40:54] Speaker 6: Right?
[40:54] Speaker 2: Because you're running the same plays every game, and you're
[40:57] Speaker 2: just going to keep running them, and we know what
[40:59] Speaker 2: you're running.
[41:00] Speaker 5: You got to see him the next day. You beat me,
[41:03] Speaker 5: I got to play you the next.
[41:04] Speaker 2: For as physical as he was saying the game was.
[41:05] Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I was thinking about.
[41:07] Speaker 1: I'm like, he's saying it was a physical game. He
[41:09] Speaker 1: only shot 20 free throws. He said they didn't call nothing.
[41:12] Speaker 1: He said it was physical, but they didn't call nothing
[41:14] Speaker 1: all night.
[41:14] Speaker 2: So therefore, you decided to call that, right? You ain't
[41:17] Speaker 2: called shit all night. We've been kicking each other's ass
[41:19] Speaker 2: all night, and you decided to call that in that
[41:21] Speaker 2: moment when the game on the line?
[41:23] Speaker 1: So... It seems a little fishy to me. It definitely
[41:25] Speaker 1: affects the scoring, though. Controversial call or not.
[41:27] Speaker 4: They weren't even taking that many threes compared to.
[41:30] Speaker 3: So, controversial call or not, the Warriors led by six
[41:32] Speaker 3: points with a minute 16 remaining in the game.
[41:35] Speaker 1: A minute 16? A minute 16 left in the game.
[41:37] Speaker 6: That's a horror game, man.
[41:39] Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
[41:40] Speaker 1: How can I give any grace on that call when
[41:44] Speaker 1: y'all was up six with a minute to go?
[41:46] Speaker 2: Y'all let the game go. I can't give you no
[41:49] Speaker 2: grace for that.
[41:49] Speaker 1: Premature, you turned it off. Yeah, I turned it off.
[41:51] Speaker 1: It was up six. I turned the TV off.
[41:53] Speaker 2: I still had hope for a Warriors defeat, so I
[41:54] Speaker 2: kept watching for the final moment. That's over.
[41:57] Speaker 1: That's over. I'm relenting.
[41:59] Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, it's six.
[42:00] Speaker 4: I turned it off and said, oh, it's six feet straight.
[42:04] Speaker 6: To the baby team.
[42:04] Speaker 1: In a cup.
[42:05] Speaker 6: In a cup game.
[42:06] Speaker 2: And you're a veteran team, too?
[42:07] Speaker 1: Can't do that.
[42:10] Speaker 3: Refreshing to see the Rockets make the NBA Cup.
[42:13] Speaker 6: The two baby teams playing together.
[42:14] Speaker 2: I was there for three years, and them, like, Steph,
[42:18] Speaker 2: game winner. It was it.
[42:20] Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie, man.
[42:21] Speaker 2: They needed a break.
[42:22] Speaker 1: I felt some type of way because I put in
[42:24] Speaker 1: a pick-em. Okay.
[42:26] Speaker 2: Did you win? Boy, let me tell you something.
[42:28] Speaker 3: Yes.
[42:29] Speaker 2: I got all reds.
[42:32] Speaker 1: And I made the pick-em at halftime. If you get
[42:36] Speaker 1: all red, you should get your money back. I should
[42:38] Speaker 1: get my money back. I'm going to tell y'all what
[42:40] Speaker 1: the pick-ems was, and I want y'all to let me
[42:41] Speaker 1: know if the game has changed. Dylan Brooks, I picked
[42:45] Speaker 1: 5.5 rebounds higher. When I picked it, he had three rebounds.
[42:51] Speaker 1: It was at halftime. He had three.
[42:54] Speaker 2: What did he finish with, five?
[42:55] Speaker 1: Four.
[42:55] Speaker 2: Jalen Green, 3.5 assists.
[42:56] Speaker 1: I did higher. He had two when I picked. He
[43:03] Speaker 1: ended up with three. Draymond Green. He guaranteed to get
[43:10] Speaker 1: me at least six boards.
[43:11] Speaker 2: 4.5, I picked the higher.
[43:14] Speaker 1: 4.5 rebounds.
[43:16] Speaker 2: He had one and a half. He ended up with three.
[43:21] Speaker 6: With three?
[43:22] Speaker 2: Draymond Green. Out of all people. Out of all people.
[43:26] Speaker 1: Shangum, he was supposed to get 14. He only got 11.
[43:28] Speaker 1: I get it. It was cool. He had eight and
[43:30] Speaker 1: a half. He only had three in the second half.
[43:32] Speaker 1: You can't be an elite rebounder and get three boards
[43:35] Speaker 1: in the second.
[43:36] Speaker 2: Last one was Steph Curry. 4.5 threes.
[43:40] Speaker 1: I took the higher. Because you know what?
[43:42] Speaker 2: He had three and a half. All reds. All red. Underdog,
[43:49] Speaker 2: y'all got something up your sleeve.
[43:50] Speaker 6: Very optimistic picks.
[43:52] Speaker 1: Well, think about two rebounds in two quarters. One assist
[43:57] Speaker 1: in two quarters.
[43:57] Speaker 2: I was going to get one.
[44:00] Speaker 1: And you were supposed to get average. You averaged seven boards.
[44:06] Speaker 5: That's why I didn't pause.
[44:07] Speaker 2: You was.
[44:09] Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out why I can't win.
[44:11] Speaker 2: I'm rooting for the Warriors, that's why. Too optimistic.
[44:15] Speaker 3: 15-game win streak. You need a hater in your heart.
[44:17] Speaker 3: Too optimistic.
[44:18] Speaker 2: That's true.
[44:20] Speaker 1: Pray for their downfall. As soon as I wear the
[44:22] Speaker 1: Lakers jersey, they're trash. That was your fatal flaw shot.
[44:26] Speaker 1: We were really disappointed to see you put on that
[44:28] Speaker 1: bronze jersey.
[44:28] Speaker 6: You did do that on purpose.
[44:29] Speaker 1: Jinxed us, then took it off after bronze airball.
[44:32] Speaker 6: Like crazy.
[44:33] Speaker 2: You have power.
[44:35] Speaker 3: I would appreciate it if you didn't, okay? We took
[44:37] Speaker 3: a vote. But let's get on to the Rockets. So
[44:39] Speaker 3: as I mentioned earlier, it's been a long time since
[44:42] Speaker 3: the Rockets have beaten the Warriors. They've lost 15 straight games. Naturally,
[44:45] Speaker 3: some Rockets fans were emotional on Twitter spaces after the win.
[44:48] Speaker 3: Let's take a look.
[44:49] Speaker 2: This is crazy. Oh, my God. No way.
[44:55] Speaker 8: Bro, like, I'm so dead ass, bro. Like, we finally
[44:59] Speaker 8: beat these n * * * * s, bro. Like, bro,
[45:02] Speaker 8: first of all, I want to say f * * *
[45:03] Speaker 8: you to Steve Curry, you b * * * *
[45:05] Speaker 8: ass s * * *. You low-key racist a * *
[45:07] Speaker 8: hole ass s * * *. You named your son
[45:09] Speaker 8: Nicholas so you can name your son Nick Curry.
[45:12] Speaker 2: You a b * * * *. Steph Curry, f * * *
[45:14] Speaker 2: you too, n * * * * s.
[45:18] Speaker 8: You a bitch. That's not Draymond. You donkey teeth. Loud
[45:22] Speaker 8: mouth ass bitch. Ref crying, crying to the ref. That's
[45:25] Speaker 8: not you, bro. Also, fuck that Lindy Waters, too. That's
[45:29] Speaker 8: her girl name, bro. I never saw a name Lindy, bro.
[45:33] Speaker 6: The emojis.
[45:35] Speaker 2: That is the best part.
[45:36] Speaker 4: The cosmic co-signing is hilarious.
[45:38] Speaker 3: So that was funny, but in all seriousness, the Rockets
[45:41] Speaker 3: are 17-8, tied for second-best record in the West.
[45:43] Speaker 2: That's insane.
[45:44] Speaker 3: They have now secured a spot in the NBA Cup
[45:45] Speaker 3: semifinals of Vegas against the OKC Thunder. Houston was a
[45:48] Speaker 3: 500 team that missed the playoffs last season, found their
[45:52] Speaker 3: momentum late last season, and it's continued early into this season.
[45:54] Speaker 3: How impressed are you by the leap the Rockets have
[45:57] Speaker 3: taken this season?
[45:57] Speaker 2: That's going to be a game right there. Rockets-Thunder? Yeah.
[46:02] Speaker 2: A great game. Great game. That's going to be a fave.
[46:04] Speaker 6: Oh, you're going to watch it?
[46:06] Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
[46:07] Speaker 6: The baby teams.
[46:08] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[46:08] Speaker 2: Sangoon, Harkinstein matchup.
[46:11] Speaker 6: Top two teams in the West? Damn.
[46:13] Speaker 1: You even think about Jalen and Shea, then it's VanVleet
[46:17] Speaker 1: and whoever.
[46:20] Speaker 2: What are you, ISO Joe? What's the dude? Jalen Williams.
[46:23] Speaker 2: The Joe number 11? Isaiah Joe. Oh, yeah. Stretch shooter.
[46:26] Speaker 2: Who else is it? Brooks and Williams. Yeah, it's going to.
[46:30] Speaker 6: Be a good game.
[46:33] Speaker 3: For actual basketball fans, I posted a tweet that got
[46:35] Speaker 3: a lot of negative reaction just from a standpoint of
[46:38] Speaker 3: you got the Hawks, Bucks, Thunder Rockets in that Final
[46:41] Speaker 3: Four when you could have had the Knicks, the Warriors,
[46:43] Speaker 3: and teams like that from a big market standpoint.
[46:45] Speaker 2: But fans, I love all basketball.
[46:46] Speaker 3: Happy to see the Rockets and Thunder in there looking
[46:48] Speaker 3: forward to an exciting NBA Cup.
[46:50] Speaker 2: I think this is better than that. You think that's... Yeah.
[46:52] Speaker 1: Okay.
[46:53] Speaker 2: I think so. Well, it is your arena swag.
[46:54] Speaker 6: I mean, it's the same reason.
[46:55] Speaker 4: Last year, everyone was excited that the Pacers was in there.
[46:58] Speaker 4: They have that same energy. Who was ready to see
[47:00] Speaker 4: Halliburton on that stage?
[47:02] Speaker 2: They was balling, too, at the time.
[47:03] Speaker 6: He was killing at that time.
[47:04] Speaker 2: Yeah, they was balling.
[47:05] Speaker 1: Facts.
[47:06] Speaker 6: So, I mean, it's nice to see.
[47:08] Speaker 4: These teams, I've never, this is the first time I
[47:09] Speaker 4: saw Houston play.
[47:10] Speaker 6: On, like, TV.
[47:11] Speaker 1: National, national.
[47:12] Speaker 2: So watching the Rockets on national TV. Remember they was
[47:14] Speaker 2: getting like 140 and 100.
[47:15] Speaker 6: They was hooping right before that. And then they just.
[47:20] Speaker 2: So watching this Rockets team last season. You hit the
[47:22] Speaker 2: rookie wall.
[47:23] Speaker 3: Rockets last season, I think, went on, like, 11-game win streak.
[47:25] Speaker 2: At the end, right?
[47:25] Speaker 3: With threatening the Warriors for that 10th spot. But this year,
[47:30] Speaker 3: what do you see from this Rockets squad, Kenya? 17-8,
[47:33] Speaker 3: second in the West right now.
[47:34] Speaker 1: That's crazy.
[47:35] Speaker 3: Ime Adoka. Turn this franchise around. A lot of young talent,
[47:38] Speaker 3: but they all playing for each other.
[47:40] Speaker 2: Same as Cleveland. You bring your guys back. You don't
[47:44] Speaker 2: change things up. I'm saying Cleveland changed their head coach,
[47:48] Speaker 2: but your players are the same. And they still locked in.
[47:51] Speaker 2: Still locked in and growing together. They start playing well
[47:54] Speaker 2: at the right time, which is unfortunate at the end
[47:56] Speaker 2: of last year. They start to learn one another at
[47:58] Speaker 2: the end of last season. It just translated over, man.
[48:01] Speaker 2: I've been a big fan of M.A. Doka as a player,
[48:04] Speaker 2: and now he's in the position now. he's a he
[48:09] Speaker 2: came up under Greg Popovich in the holding your star
[48:14] Speaker 2: players accountable and telling guys the truth and being honest
[48:17] Speaker 2: so I can see him doing that in his moments
[48:19] Speaker 2: with them guys with them young guys and they bind
[48:22] Speaker 2: into what he preaching.
[48:23] Speaker 3: Man so you weren't you weren't here yesterday but basically
[48:25] Speaker 3: there was a clip of him in Shangoon and he
[48:28] Speaker 3: said Shangoon was bitching about calls too much he told
[48:30] Speaker 3: him to get the European out of his game yeah
[48:31] Speaker 3: just go out there play hard you know so there
[48:34] Speaker 3: you go and stop all that that whiny shit right
[48:36] Speaker 3: So I'm pretty, that's what he's saying to us, and
[48:39] Speaker 3: the Lord knows what he's saying to him watching film
[48:41] Speaker 3: and in private, right? So, you can tell, that's what, like,
[48:46] Speaker 3: if he's saying that so people can hear it.
[48:48] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[48:49] Speaker 6: He's probably like, see, I mean it.
[48:51] Speaker 2: So that's my thing. No, but they playing well, man.
[48:55] Speaker 2: They competing, them guys, young, energetic. They did a lot
[48:59] Speaker 2: of losing to be at this point and to develop
[49:02] Speaker 2: the talent that they have. So they're trending up. So
[49:06] Speaker 2: let's see how the rest of the season goes. But
[49:09] Speaker 2: winning is contagious. Winning is fun. So they are there now.
[49:15] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[49:16] Speaker 2: So they want to keep that going. Like I said,
[49:17] Speaker 2: they did a lot of losing, man.
[49:18] Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
[49:19] Speaker 3: And Nick, as an NBA champion with NBA championship experience,
[49:23] Speaker 3: how fun is winning? How fun is winning an NBA
[49:25] Speaker 3: championship and being an instrumental part of that team's success
[49:30] Speaker 3: to help them hoist the trophy?
[49:31] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[49:32] Speaker 2: Man, only a few could experience that, you know.
[49:36] Speaker 6: I've carried that trophy around.
[49:37] Speaker 2: Man, it's like a feeling that's hard to explain because,
[49:41] Speaker 2: you know, you have to be there. Please try to
[49:43] Speaker 2: explain it. Please. For the audience, there's certain people.
[49:47] Speaker 1: Watching that need your explanation. Because I want to know,
[49:50] Speaker 1: I want to know personally, what.
[49:53] Speaker 2: Did you do?
[49:54] Speaker 1: What did you do?
[49:55] Speaker 2: What did you do to prepare to be a champion?
[49:58] Speaker 6: We care.
[49:59] Speaker 2: On the 25th of January. On the 25th of January.
[50:03] Speaker 1: What'd you do on May 25th, Nick?
[50:06] Speaker 2: Insurmountable eyes down.
[50:07] Speaker 1: Your warrior squad facing a limit. Not we. Not we. Me.
[50:11] Speaker 2: What did me do? I got drunk on the 21st.
[50:12] Speaker 2: I got drunk on the same flight. I drank it
[50:15] Speaker 2: on the 21st. The flight movie with Denzel.
[50:22] Speaker 1: I'm drunk right now.
[50:23] Speaker 2: I'm drunk right now.
[50:24] Speaker 1: Damn, Denzel, you're going to fuck it up everybody. You
[50:27] Speaker 1: were supposed to.
[50:29] Speaker 6: Follow the script. He said, you know what? I won
[50:32] Speaker 6: the argument, so I'm going.
[50:33] Speaker 2: To be real now. I'm going to be real now.
[50:37] Speaker 2: I ain't do shit. I'm drunk right now.
[50:39] Speaker 1: I don't know about no hog time.
[50:45] Speaker 2: I'm drunk.
[50:45] Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about none of that.
[50:49] Speaker 2: Thank you for that, Nick, because I feel now with
[50:51] Speaker 2: your experience. I hate y'all. I can't do this no more.
[50:54] Speaker 2: You can help me be a champion in my own
[50:56] Speaker 2: life now. Oh, shit.
[50:59] Speaker 1: Let's find a bottle, man. All right.
[51:03] Speaker 3: But in all seriousness, Alper and Shane Goon averaging 19 points,
[51:07] Speaker 3: 11 rebounds, five assists this season. Scoring is a little
[51:10] Speaker 3: bit down from last season, but his rebounds and assists
[51:12] Speaker 3: are up. Rockets, second in the West right now, a
[51:16] Speaker 3: much better conference in comparison to the East, top to bottom.
[51:19] Speaker 3: Do you think Shane Goon will be an all-star this season? Kenya,
[51:21] Speaker 3: I know you've been a big fan of Shane Goon,
[51:22] Speaker 3: been singing his praises for a while now.
[51:24] Speaker 2: Should be. You think he should be? Yeah. He should be.
[51:29] Speaker 2: Third best, you still got AD, Sabonis, Jokic. It's going
[51:32] Speaker 2: to be tough. So it's going to be tough. But
[51:36] Speaker 2: the winning might help. The winning might get him a
[51:40] Speaker 2: nod over Sabonis. The winning might get him a nod
[51:43] Speaker 2: over Sabonis. If they still in second, when the votes
[51:47] Speaker 2: go in... He got to keep the numbers up, though.
[51:49] Speaker 1: He will.
[51:50] Speaker 2: He'll be a 20-11.
[51:52] Speaker 1: I think his assistant, boy, he actually passed the ball well, too.
[51:56] Speaker 5: Wouldn't that be a first at, like, a team that's, like,
[52:00] Speaker 5: second in any conference?
[52:02] Speaker 2: All-Star don't make it?
[52:03] Speaker 1: No.
[52:04] Speaker 6: They got to put one in.
[52:05] Speaker 5: Don't they normally always put somebody in or the whole team?
[52:08] Speaker 2: First, second, and third place team. So they got to...
[52:12] Speaker 2: At least have one All-Star. Right, somebody got to go in.
[52:14] Speaker 2: With Jalen averaging?
[52:16] Speaker 1: Let me pull it up.
[52:17] Speaker 2: He's exciting, though. You put him in a dunk.
[52:19] Speaker 5: Jalen Green?
[52:20] Speaker 2: Yeah. You put him in a dunk. I thought he
[52:21] Speaker 2: was at 24 or something. He's leading the scoring.
[52:23] Speaker 1: He's leading the scoring at 19? He's had a lot
[52:27] Speaker 1: of backers in his last five games.
[52:28] Speaker 2: Nah, he'll get the nod. Jalen? Jalen will get the
[52:32] Speaker 2: nod over St.
[52:32] Speaker 1: Louis.
[52:33] Speaker 3: So Jalen averaging 19.5 rebounds, three assists.
[52:36] Speaker 2: And Jokic still.
[52:38] Speaker 6: And Wimby.
[52:39] Speaker 1: But think about who's in front of Jalen Green, though.
[52:41] Speaker 2: But still, this team... In the West?
[52:44] Speaker 1: Yeah, in the West.
[52:46] Speaker 2: Think of the stuff he could do. Jalen Green... He's
[52:49] Speaker 2: like Kobe. What is it? Luka? He's going to be Luka.
[52:53] Speaker 1: But Jalen Green, inconsistent, but took one night.
[52:58] Speaker 3: So his last seven games, starting from November 26th, nine points,
[53:02] Speaker 3: 41 points, nine points, 28 points, 14 points, 31 points,
[53:04] Speaker 3: and then 12 points last night.
[53:10] Speaker 2: You think Jalen? Jalen Green's an all-star.
[53:12] Speaker 6: You think it's going to be.
[53:13] Speaker 2: Jalen Green's an all-star.
[53:14] Speaker 6: It's going to be him or Ja, right? They both
[53:16] Speaker 6: can't make it, right?
[53:17] Speaker 2: We got Kevin Durant.
[53:18] Speaker 6: SGA.
[53:18] Speaker 2: So they'll take him over. Ant-Man.
[53:20] Speaker 1: Ant-Man.
[53:21] Speaker 2: Luca. Katie. D-Book.
[53:22] Speaker 6: Kyrie.
[53:24] Speaker 2: He's going to make it off of KD. He's not
[53:27] Speaker 2: a Bron.
[53:28] Speaker 6: How's he going to get in?
[53:30] Speaker 2: He's not going to get in. He's going to make
[53:32] Speaker 2: it because KD is going.
[53:32] Speaker 1: To make it.
[53:33] Speaker 2: He's got to go to the East. He's going to
[53:34] Speaker 2: get in on the East.
[53:35] Speaker 1: How's the format this year?
[53:37] Speaker 2: Is it the draft shit again?
[53:39] Speaker 1: Yeah, draft team plus a rookie in rising stars element.
[53:43] Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, they're changing up and stuff, right?
[53:45] Speaker 1: But somebody gonna get hurt.
[53:46] Speaker 2: Yeah, so the three... Somebody ain't gonna play. Somebody gonna
[53:48] Speaker 2: get hurt, put them in.
[53:49] Speaker 5: They just want to hear their name was an all-star, then, like, man,
[53:52] Speaker 5: I can't play.
[53:52] Speaker 3: So it'll still be the 24, and I think the
[53:54] Speaker 3: rising stars will.
[53:55] Speaker 1: Get that eight. If they're second, right? Some of them
[54:00] Speaker 1: other teams is.
[54:01] Speaker 6: Like last year.
[54:02] Speaker 2: Did they put Melo in?
[54:03] Speaker 1: They fucking around, man.
[54:04] Speaker 3: But you think Jalen Green will get one of those
[54:06] Speaker 3: seven reserve spots?
[54:07] Speaker 1: I think it'll be hard for him to get over Jaren.
[54:09] Speaker 1: Not a starter, not a starter, not at all. Yeah,
[54:11] Speaker 1: that's for Jaren Fox.
[54:13] Speaker 2: Over Fox, absolutely. They second.
[54:17] Speaker 1: Nah, you can't put him in Fox. De'Aaron didn't get
[54:20] Speaker 1: it when they were second. When De'Aaron and the Kings
[54:22] Speaker 1: were second when Mike Brownford got there, they made it
[54:23] Speaker 1: hard to say he didn't get nothing.
[54:25] Speaker 2: He was after like 25.
[54:25] Speaker 6: What about the Broncos then?
[54:27] Speaker 2: He's averaged a 26.6 in five this season. You got
[54:29] Speaker 2: to put him in. You got to put him in.
[54:31] Speaker 1: And you've been subbing him.
[54:31] Speaker 5: But you might not because this is Max's contract.
[54:34] Speaker 6: Well, then Simone's not even.
[54:36] Speaker 5: If he don't make it, that takes away from that money.
[54:38] Speaker 1: 2012?
[54:39] Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
[54:40] Speaker 3: So we asked the chat, will Shane Goon be an
[54:43] Speaker 3: all-star in 2025?
[54:44] Speaker 2: 67% say yes. Okay, Chad. We'll see. Chad a lot
[54:47] Speaker 2: less hostile to that. I don't know what it is.
[54:49] Speaker 6: You probably got to increase his numbers a little bit.
[54:51] Speaker 2: But is it his third year?
[54:52] Speaker 1: Swag, I feel like you brought the championship-level Chad with you.
[54:54] Speaker 2: Man.
[54:56] Speaker 3: You got a championship-level Chad today.
[54:58] Speaker 5: I think they will put Sabonis' hands over Green. Why
[55:00] Speaker 5: do they do that, though?
[55:02] Speaker 2: Over Shang... Yeah, I mean, whatever. Shangoon in over Green.
[55:05] Speaker 6: Well, now his number.
[55:06] Speaker 2: Like, they put in Sabonis over Fox.
[55:08] Speaker 6: They can't now.
[55:10] Speaker 5: Is it safer to do that?
[55:12] Speaker 2: Yeah. For them?
[55:13] Speaker 6: 2021... Oh, no, this is his fourth.
[55:17] Speaker 2: All right, well, let's move to the... This is his
[55:19] Speaker 2: fourth season. So you're not going to have Sabonis, Wimby.
[55:24] Speaker 2: If we forgot about you at Wimby getting there. That
[55:27] Speaker 2: looks nasty. That looks nasty in all seconds.
[55:30] Speaker 1: That's nasty working in all seconds.
[55:33] Speaker 2: You got A.D.
[55:35] Speaker 1: A.D. still.
[55:36] Speaker 2: Still got A.D. 's a big.
[55:37] Speaker 1: Kevin Durant is a fool. Kevin Durant is a fool.
[55:40] Speaker 2: So it'll still be the 24 All-Stars. Y'all got to
[55:43] Speaker 2: think about the family too.
[55:44] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
[55:45] Speaker 3: So there'll still be 12 from the West, 12 from
[55:47] Speaker 3: the East, and then the 8 from the Rodney Stars game.
[55:51] Speaker 3: And then they'll make teams of 8.
[55:52] Speaker 2: At the 5 position, them votes going to Wimby and Jokic.
[55:56] Speaker 1: My AD.
[55:58] Speaker 5: Oh, I thought you were talking about the start of 5.
[56:00] Speaker 6: My bad.
[56:01] Speaker 2: For the fan vote. That's what I'm saying. For the
[56:04] Speaker 2: fan vote, Wimby going.
[56:05] Speaker 1: Yep.
[56:05] Speaker 6: That's really going to determine for real.
[56:07] Speaker 1: Him or Jokic, right? Yep.
[56:09] Speaker 2: Jokic and Wimby, 100%. One of them going for sure.
[56:12] Speaker 2: It's going to be a Then you got to throw
[56:14] Speaker 2: Bron in a forward spot, KD in a forward spot
[56:17] Speaker 2: for votes. Yep. Then Anthony Davis in there for... Oh,
[56:20] Speaker 2: that's forwards.
[56:21] Speaker 6: He's not forwards.
[56:22] Speaker 2: It's going to be some hurt feelings. Guard, Ant, Shade, Steph.
[56:28] Speaker 1: Luca, Kyrie.
[56:31] Speaker 2: I mean, shit. I'm not going to even see Kyrie
[56:35] Speaker 2: with the votes. Yeah, not no more.
[56:36] Speaker 1: You can make an argument for Norm Powell.
[56:39] Speaker 2: But he's still averaging 26. He's averaging 26. I'm just saying.
[56:41] Speaker 1: It's a reserve. Exactly.
[56:42] Speaker 2: But with the season, Norm Powell's having a success.
[56:44] Speaker 1: With the Clippers. How much Kyrie averaging?
[56:46] Speaker 8: 24.
[56:46] Speaker 2: Because Luke ain't been playing like that. Yeah, he ain't
[56:48] Speaker 2: been playing. Not this. It's tough, yeah. It's going to
[56:52] Speaker 2: be interesting. But it's going to be tough for us.
[56:55] Speaker 1: So Kyrie's averaging 24, 5, and 5. Yeah, it's going
[56:56] Speaker 1: to be tough for KD. You need somebody who can
[56:58] Speaker 1: throw them 5. You need someone to be an all-star.
[57:00] Speaker 2: Yeah. Ain't none of them old people you named.
[57:03] Speaker 3: He's got to come on strong, I feel like, in
[57:04] Speaker 3: these next couple weeks.
[57:05] Speaker 2: Think about the all-star game.
[57:06] Speaker 6: Is it my position still?
[57:08] Speaker 3: And I think a good showing in the NBA Cup
[57:10] Speaker 3: Final Four with that national spotlight on them could help elevate.
[57:13] Speaker 2: Like, if he goes out there and just kills these
[57:15] Speaker 2: next two games.
[57:15] Speaker 6: If both of them go out and kill, they both
[57:16] Speaker 6: could elevate.
[57:17] Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're playing for something much bigger. Obviously, that
[57:19] Speaker 1: 500 racks, though. Ooh.
[57:20] Speaker 6: They both could be all-star.
[57:22] Speaker 2: If it stands the way it is, I think Jalen
[57:24] Speaker 2: Green has a better chance. Them being second, him leading
[57:29] Speaker 2: the team in scoring.
[57:31] Speaker 6: Being all-star.
[57:32] Speaker 2: Let's keep it moving to the east. Swaggy, can I
[57:36] Speaker 2: move to the east? Go ahead, my brother. Thank you, sir.
[57:37] Speaker 2: This is Swaggy's Arena presented. My underdog. Go ahead and
[57:40] Speaker 2: download the underdog app, but.
[57:41] Speaker 3: You still got to use promo code Gil just so
[57:43] Speaker 3: we can track it and get $ 1, 000 in bonus cash.
[57:45] Speaker 1: Oh, this is.
[57:45] Speaker 2: What? Oh, this is... I'm really a host. Oh, this
[57:50] Speaker 2: is nice.
[57:50] Speaker 1: I'm rich.
[57:51] Speaker 2: Oh, this is nice. Oh, this is.
[57:54] Speaker 1: I'm the Scottie Pippen of the show. I got to
[57:56] Speaker 1: take my fingerprints off that motherfucker. That motherfucker is exclusive.
[57:59] Speaker 3: Posting recklessly on Twitter, just like Scottie.
[58:02] Speaker 1: Hey, whoever's running Scottie Pippen account.
[58:04] Speaker 2: There's some Louie the 13 in here.
[58:06] Speaker 1: There's some Louie in here, ain't there?
[58:08] Speaker 2: I got to put that Louie on.
[58:09] Speaker 3: Whoever's running Scottie Pippen account, tone it down just a
[58:11] Speaker 3: little bit, please.
[58:12] Speaker 1: He's tweeting about AI and Elon Musk.
[58:16] Speaker 2: Scottie, tone it down just a little bit, please, all right?
[58:19] Speaker 6: He said, what did he tweet? I only saw one.
[58:21] Speaker 3: I think if Elon was on the Bulls, they would
[58:24] Speaker 3: be killed. And then he had, like, a whole Bears thing, too.
[58:26] Speaker 6: It was weird.
[58:27] Speaker 2: It's been weird over here.
[58:29] Speaker 3: Scottie, if you're okay, blink twice. All right, but let's
[58:31] Speaker 3: keep it moving. Let's move over to the NBA Cup
[58:34] Speaker 3: Eastern Conference quarterfinal between the Hawks and the Knicks last night.
[58:37] Speaker 3: Anytime Trae Young comes to the Garden, you can expect
[58:40] Speaker 3: to see a show. And that's exactly what we got
[58:43] Speaker 3: last night at MSG. The Knicks were in control early,
[58:47] Speaker 3: leading by double digits in the first quarter and by
[58:49] Speaker 3: seven at half, but the Hawks turned things around in
[58:51] Speaker 3: the second half, sparked by an 11-0 run in the
[58:53] Speaker 3: third quarter that included eight straight points from Ice Trey. Burr,
[58:57] Speaker 3: it's cold in here. Bing bong, as they say.
[59:00] Speaker 2: Oh, my God. His game, bro. Man, his game. Y'all
[59:03] Speaker 2: don't say bing bong in New York?
[59:04] Speaker 1: That's over.
[59:05] Speaker 2: Shout-out to Side Talk NYC.
[59:06] Speaker 3: Shout-out Side Talk NYC. What are you guys doing? Side
[59:10] Speaker 3: Talk NYC. Don't you wish you came to the Knicks, KD? KD,
[59:14] Speaker 3: don't you wish you came to the Knicks? But the
[59:16] Speaker 3: Hawks turned things around, like I said, second quarter. On
[59:18] Speaker 3: Nick's side, Jalen Brunson struggled, going 5-15 from the field,
[59:21] Speaker 3: finished the game with 14 points and 8 assists.
[59:23] Speaker 2: Oh, my Lord. He tried to smack the glass. I
[59:26] Speaker 2: appreciate it.
[59:26] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Too easy.
[59:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's too easy. He's dunking everything.
[59:30] Speaker 3: Big Bodega player Anthony Towns had 19 points, 9 boards,
[59:33] Speaker 3: 5 assists.
[59:35] Speaker 2: But the Hawks were really the story with Jalen Johnson
[59:37] Speaker 2: putting up 21 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists in 41 minutes.
[59:40] Speaker 2: DeAndre Hunter had 24 points off the bench.
[59:42] Speaker 1: Dunk that.
[59:43] Speaker 2: Trey Young, 22 points, 11 assists in the win to
[59:47] Speaker 2: send them to Las Vegas for the NBA Cup semifinal
[59:50] Speaker 2: to celebrate the occasion. He took the knee, though. That
[59:52] Speaker 2: was the best part.
[59:53] Speaker 3: Trey casually pretended to roll dice at center court of
[59:55] Speaker 3: Madison Square Garden.
[59:57] Speaker 2: Proceeded to hit his point. I think his point was eight.
[59:59] Speaker 2: It was eight. He hit eight.
[1:00:00] Speaker 1: He hit that eight. He definitely took the knee. He
[1:00:03] Speaker 1: definitely took the knee. One knee. No way.
[1:00:12] Speaker 2: With the ball on the one hand.
[1:00:13] Speaker 1: Put the hand on the ball with the knee down.
[1:00:16] Speaker 2: Kept his dribble. Kept his dribble. Kept his dribble. Blew on.
[1:00:22] Speaker 1: Stop.
[1:00:22] Speaker 2: That's a really young one. Kept his dribble. Representing for
[1:00:26] Speaker 2: the young. That's a real young. Y'all might have been
[1:00:30] Speaker 2: on the same plantation. Boy, in New York. I wish
[1:00:34] Speaker 2: I would come to my car after this. Oh, yeah.
[1:00:36] Speaker 1: Don't know if he's going to be All-Star, but he's
[1:00:39] Speaker 1: out here listening. So, Trey was... Yes, Legs. Yes, Legs.
[1:00:43] Speaker 2: Yes. Definitely. Definitely.
[1:00:46] Speaker 1: This will be the year he got it. They didn't
[1:00:47] Speaker 1: beat the Cavs twice. Boston, New York, in New York.
[1:00:51] Speaker 2: If they win. Four to the cup.
[1:00:53] Speaker 5: Four to the cup. They stay at like four or five?
[1:00:55] Speaker 3: We're going to talk about that in a second, but
[1:00:57] Speaker 3: Trey was asked about his relationship with the New York
[1:00:59] Speaker 3: crowd after the game.
[1:01:00] Speaker 2: Here's what he said.
[1:01:01] Speaker 6: Speaking of the fourth quarter, we saw you do some skipping.
[1:01:04] Speaker 1: Good form.
[1:01:04] Speaker 5: How would you describe your relationship with the New York fans?
[1:01:07] Speaker 2: Oh, it's a love-hate relationship. I mean, I got a
[1:01:09] Speaker 2: lot of love and a lot of hate, I guess,
[1:01:11] Speaker 2: from them.
[1:01:11] Speaker 1: But I got a lot of love from them, too,
[1:01:13] Speaker 1: so it's respect.
[1:01:17] Speaker 3: Trey also said that the dice-rolling celebration at the end
[1:01:19] Speaker 3: of the game, him and his younger brother planned that
[1:01:21] Speaker 3: out a couple days in advance.
[1:01:23] Speaker 2: He already knew he was coming to the Garden and
[1:01:24] Speaker 2: getting the dub.
[1:01:25] Speaker 1: You planned that?
[1:01:26] Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That was a... A plan? Like,
[1:01:28] Speaker 2: you know you about it. Extremely disrespectful.
[1:01:31] Speaker 3: After the game, Knicks captain Jalen Brunson was asked about
[1:01:33] Speaker 3: Trey playing CeeLo at midcourt and simply said, we should
[1:01:36] Speaker 3: win the game if we don't want him to do that.
[1:01:38] Speaker 2: Spoken like a true gentleman.
[1:01:40] Speaker 3: So just like he did in the 2021 playoff, Trey
[1:01:42] Speaker 3: Young eliminates the Knicks from the NBA Cup. So, Trey, Kenyon,
[1:01:48] Speaker 3: as a Cowboys fan, where does Trey shooting dice rank
[1:01:51] Speaker 3: on disrespect on the midfield logo? Shooting dice on that
[1:01:54] Speaker 3: midfield logo, if you remember back in the day.
[1:01:55] Speaker 2: T.O.? T.O. with the... Twice. Twice. Picked it up and
[1:02:01] Speaker 2: ran to the goddamn.
[1:02:03] Speaker 5: T.E.G., the dude, T.E.G.
[1:02:05] Speaker 2: Tried to take his head off. Yeah.
[1:02:07] Speaker 1: The second time.
[1:02:08] Speaker 2: Second, yeah.
[1:02:08] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[1:02:09] Speaker 2: Because nobody do nothing the first time.
[1:02:10] Speaker 3: But how disrespectful is Trey rolling dice on the New
[1:02:12] Speaker 3: York Knickerbocker logo?
[1:02:13] Speaker 2: I love every minute of it. I don't like that shit.
[1:02:17] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[1:02:17] Speaker 1: I don't like that shit. You don't like that shit
[1:02:19] Speaker 1: one bit? I'm going to have to drop a dime
[1:02:21] Speaker 1: on them. I'm going to have to drop a.
[1:02:23] Speaker 2: Dime on them. I don't like that shit. Trey dropped
[1:02:25] Speaker 2: 11 on my block.
[1:02:25] Speaker 1: I'm going to ride around on my block trying to
[1:02:27] Speaker 1: roll dice on my block.
[1:02:29] Speaker 2: Four, five, six. Is this the illest ninja? Man, I
[1:02:33] Speaker 2: don't like that. I don't know how to feel, though. Like.
[1:02:35] Speaker 5: The fact that you planned it, I don't know, is
[1:02:38] Speaker 5: that more disrespectful? Because a lot of my stuff, I
[1:02:40] Speaker 5: just do it on the spur. But you planned it.
[1:02:42] Speaker 5: You can't guard me. That's more disrespectful.
[1:02:45] Speaker 1: This is what we're going to do. Listen, at the
[1:02:47] Speaker 1: end of the game, I'm going to shake them up,
[1:02:49] Speaker 1: shake them up, shake them.
[1:02:52] Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.
[1:02:52] Speaker 1: Did not roll them in a circle of homies, but still,
[1:02:55] Speaker 1: we had to watch them break them. We had to
[1:02:57] Speaker 1: break them. I had to hit them with the 7. 7-11.
[1:02:59] Speaker 1: On one needle? 7-11.
[1:03:00] Speaker 2: See, I didn't see the one needle. Hit them with
[1:03:03] Speaker 2: the 7 with the back dog. Think about that.
[1:03:04] Speaker 5: Who plans a celebration on somebody?
[1:03:07] Speaker 2: Days in advance. When you know you've been putting foot
[1:03:10] Speaker 2: to ass for years.
[1:03:12] Speaker 1: Years in advance. Michael Jordan, I'm coming to the guard.
[1:03:16] Speaker 2: Y'all know what it is.
[1:03:17] Speaker 1: It comes upon a time in a man's life.
[1:03:19] Speaker 2: Yeah, he said he figured out how they were starting.
[1:03:21] Speaker 1: I'm not little no more.
[1:03:22] Speaker 2: I'm not little no more. I'm not little no more.
[1:03:24] Speaker 1: I'm not little no more. Growing in the garden. I'm
[1:03:26] Speaker 1: little no more.
[1:03:27] Speaker 2: You're going to bullet me forever. No, hey, man. Think
[1:03:30] Speaker 2: about that. And the fact that they had the ball
[1:03:35] Speaker 2: to dribble, he had the opportunity to carry it out.
[1:03:37] Speaker 1: Ain't nobody rushing him. Ain't nobody on some of you.
[1:03:39] Speaker 1: You ain't about to do that.
[1:03:40] Speaker 6: They played like three minutes left in the game.
[1:03:41] Speaker 2: They sat there and watched him roll dice. Yeah, that's crazy.
[1:03:45] Speaker 2: I'm done with it. I got to do something. It
[1:03:46] Speaker 2: was supposed to.
[1:03:47] Speaker 1: Be my team.
[1:03:47] Speaker 2: I had to watch it.
[1:03:48] Speaker 5: I don't want to hear the coach get on me.
[1:03:51] Speaker 2: You let him roll the dice.
[1:03:53] Speaker 5: I got to do something.
[1:03:54] Speaker 1: He hit a seven twice. He hit a seven, then
[1:03:57] Speaker 1: he hit his point. Y'all let him roll four times. Man.
[1:04:01] Speaker 5: Disrespecting me in front of my seed.
[1:04:03] Speaker 1: Hey, we don't want him to do it.
[1:04:06] Speaker 2: We should have won. That is true. But nobody's seeing
[1:04:09] Speaker 2: the celebration. Simple. Point blank, period.
[1:04:15] Speaker 3: We talk about the league, viewership issues, Trae Young versus
[1:04:18] Speaker 3: the Knicks.
[1:04:19] Speaker 2: Trae Young versus the Knicks. I mean, the Hawks, too.
[1:04:21] Speaker 3: Give love to his team. Ice Trae, birds coated here.
[1:04:25] Speaker 3: Must be Trae Young in the atmosphere.
[1:04:28] Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
[1:04:28] Speaker 3: Do you like Trey constantly trolling Knicks fans like that?
[1:04:30] Speaker 2: Is it good for the league?
[1:04:31] Speaker 6: I love it.
[1:04:32] Speaker 2: It's a beautiful thing to say.
[1:04:33] Speaker 1: Reggie Miller.
[1:04:34] Speaker 2: What? It's the Reggie effect. We need it. We need
[1:04:37] Speaker 2: somebody doing something. Man. As Steve, our.
[1:04:40] Speaker 3: Resident Knicks fan, in true New York hater fashion.
[1:04:43] Speaker 1: Everybody can't say nothing to nobody. You can't even joke
[1:04:47] Speaker 1: around with these punks.
[1:04:49] Speaker 2: These little punks. I'm fucking punks.
[1:04:52] Speaker 4: Only Rashad thinks you're punks.
[1:04:54] Speaker 1: Steve is our producer.
[1:04:56] Speaker 2: Tell me I got to apologize. That's disrespectful, too. I'm
[1:04:59] Speaker 2: trying to work with my mother. They're like, yeah, man,
[1:05:01] Speaker 2: he mad because you said. Oh, little punk ass.
[1:05:05] Speaker 1: Steve, I'm very amiable.
[1:05:08] Speaker 3: Came to work in a New York Yankees hat today.
[1:05:10] Speaker 3: A New York Yankees World Series hat. And it can't
[1:05:12] Speaker 3: be from 2024.
[1:05:14] Speaker 2: Oh, damn.
[1:05:16] Speaker 6: It does?
[1:05:17] Speaker 2: I can't, my vision, because.
[1:05:19] Speaker 1: I don't know.
[1:05:19] Speaker 2: I don't know how that, if I recall. I won.
[1:05:22] Speaker 1: I won. I won.
[1:05:24] Speaker 2: I won't wear that one.
[1:05:26] Speaker 3: But we'd like to point out that Trae Young has
[1:05:29] Speaker 3: an 11-15 career win-loss record versus the Knicks. Steve, we
[1:05:32] Speaker 3: don't care about none of that. We were here for
[1:05:33] Speaker 3: narratives and to push agendas. Does that include the playoffs?
[1:05:36] Speaker 6: Does that include the playoffs? Well, he wins when they matter.
[1:05:39] Speaker 6: He wins when it matters.
[1:05:40] Speaker 2: So we're going to spin that narrative. How impressive.
[1:05:42] Speaker 3: Trae Young never played with an all-star on his team
[1:05:44] Speaker 3: to come into Madison Square Garden.
[1:05:46] Speaker 1: 22 points on 22 shots.
[1:05:50] Speaker 2: I mean, hey. That's a lot. Very aggressive. That's a lot.
[1:05:55] Speaker 1: That's a lot.
[1:05:56] Speaker 6: It don't matter no more.
[1:05:57] Speaker 2: Throw that out.
[1:05:59] Speaker 1: Steve, the last thing we saw is that boy rolling
[1:06:01] Speaker 1: dice on the motherfucking garden.
[1:06:03] Speaker 6: Floor, man. He could have taken 50 shots.
[1:06:04] Speaker 1: Never had another All-Star on his team.
[1:06:06] Speaker 3: Still able to come and have a 3-5 record in
[1:06:09] Speaker 3: the garden.
[1:06:10] Speaker 2: We got nothing to come back from that.
[1:06:12] Speaker 1: Yeah, he did. Yeah.
[1:06:13] Speaker 3: Trae Young elevated his squad.
[1:06:17] Speaker 2: Uplift the other guy. Jalen Johnson, nice. That's a New York.
[1:06:21] Speaker 1: That's a New York.
[1:06:22] Speaker 2: He said, nah. I shot 22 times. He played good, though.
[1:06:25] Speaker 2: He shot 22 times, man. Jalen Johnson, though.
[1:06:31] Speaker 3: Whenever it's a game that matters, though, Trae Young will
[1:06:33] Speaker 3: come into Madison Square Garden and make that his proverbial trap.
[1:06:36] Speaker 2: Man, that's crazy. Choke up their Timbs. Go home on
[1:06:39] Speaker 2: the wire. Tying up Tims is diabolical.
[1:06:42] Speaker 1: You can't tie the Tims up.
[1:06:43] Speaker 2: You can't chalk up your Tims. So do they still
[1:06:46] Speaker 2: want to trade Trey now?
[1:06:48] Speaker 1: I know.
[1:06:49] Speaker 2: So let's talk about it.
[1:06:50] Speaker 3: So, Kenyon, like you pointed out, we've seen the Hawks
[1:06:52] Speaker 3: beat the Knicks twice, Cavs twice, Boston and Milwaukee. They're
[1:06:56] Speaker 3: 6-1 against those four teams in total. Also lost to
[1:06:59] Speaker 3: the Wizards twice early in the season.
[1:07:01] Speaker 2: We're dealing with injuries.
[1:07:02] Speaker 3: So we can't really, you know, but, you know, always
[1:07:04] Speaker 3: try to show both sides of the fence.
[1:07:05] Speaker 1: But 6-1.
[1:07:06] Speaker 3: Against the best that the Eastern Conference has to offer,
[1:07:09] Speaker 3: time to start considering the Hawks as an Eastern Conference contender.
[1:07:14] Speaker 5: Not a part of the contender, but a threat for sure.
[1:07:16] Speaker 1: A threat, yeah, okay.
[1:07:17] Speaker 2: Yeah, the fact that they're young right now. You did
[1:07:19] Speaker 2: lose to the Wizards, injuries or not. Yeah, that is.
[1:07:22] Speaker 2: You did lose to them. That is like twice.
[1:07:24] Speaker 1: It's the early Wizards. Twice, I don't care.
[1:07:26] Speaker 2: That's when they had inspirations.
[1:07:27] Speaker 5: Then they come to reality after like the eighth loss
[1:07:30] Speaker 5: in a row, you know.
[1:07:31] Speaker 2: When you first start, you think. Everybody, everybody. There you go.
[1:07:38] Speaker 2: Now they back to the Wizards, you know? Back to reality? Yeah.
[1:07:41] Speaker 1: I mean, you really look at the East, you can't
[1:07:44] Speaker 1: say that they don't really have a clear chance.
[1:07:48] Speaker 2: Because think about them every year.
[1:07:50] Speaker 1: In the year they did make it to the playoffs,
[1:07:53] Speaker 1: they kind of got the same team. The same team.
[1:07:56] Speaker 1: The only thing different is, like, Trey's realizing that he
[1:07:59] Speaker 1: got to take more of the ownership, getting them over
[1:08:01] Speaker 1: the hump, depending on the other players.
[1:08:03] Speaker 2: And then you look at Cleveland, Orlando... And you got Bucks, Sixers,
[1:08:10] Speaker 2: and Boston.
[1:08:12] Speaker 1: These are all toss-ups of who can come in and
[1:08:15] Speaker 1: win in those series.
[1:08:17] Speaker 2: You think Boston will be a toss-up?
[1:08:19] Speaker 1: I think that if you get them teams playing on
[1:08:21] Speaker 1: all cylinders, every game going to be a good game
[1:08:24] Speaker 1: between those teams. Orlando, Cleveland, Atlanta, New York, Boston. The
[1:08:30] Speaker 1: top seven.
[1:08:31] Speaker 6: It's a toss-up.
[1:08:32] Speaker 3: Wasn't a lot expected from the Hawks after trading to
[1:08:35] Speaker 3: Jontae Murray, but Dyson Daniels came in there. Looking like
[1:08:38] Speaker 3: an all-defensive level player. You know, stretches of just crazy steals, shrieks.
[1:08:43] Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson, we've talked about before, emerging. But there were
[1:08:47] Speaker 3: talks before, oh, should they trade Trey?
[1:08:49] Speaker 2: Are they rebuilding? Man. How much time? What is it,
[1:08:53] Speaker 2: his seventh year? Yeah, this is Trey's seventh season. So
[1:08:55] Speaker 2: at seven, and you reach your peak.
[1:08:56] Speaker 6: If they don't bring him somebody, he got to go.
[1:08:58] Speaker 1: But he ain't never been an All-Star? Never played with
[1:09:00] Speaker 1: another All-Star in his career.
[1:09:02] Speaker 6: Never.
[1:09:02] Speaker 2: Made the playoffs three times, made the Eastern Conference Finals.
[1:09:04] Speaker 6: He never played with one.
[1:09:06] Speaker 2: Never played with another All-Star.
[1:09:08] Speaker 3: Had DeJounte Murray, who was previously an All-Star with San Antonio,
[1:09:10] Speaker 3: but was never an All-Star during their time together in Atlanta.
[1:09:14] Speaker 1: I think Trey just wanted time to try to build something,
[1:09:17] Speaker 1: and I think the trade talks would give him Anxiety,
[1:09:20] Speaker 1: thinking I ain't had enough time to do what I
[1:09:22] Speaker 1: need to do here to prove I can do it.
[1:09:24] Speaker 1: I think this is a year he try to knock
[1:09:26] Speaker 1: on the door and be like, let's get out of
[1:09:27] Speaker 1: the first round.
[1:09:28] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:09:28] Speaker 1: If you give me a little bit more, I might
[1:09:30] Speaker 1: get you a little bit further.
[1:09:32] Speaker 6: But he's already done.
[1:09:32] Speaker 2: I can't do too much with Capella. Like, what I'm
[1:09:34] Speaker 2: going to do with Capella? He still need a little...
[1:09:37] Speaker 2: Boggy Boggy and.
[1:09:39] Speaker 1: And who was number 12?
[1:09:43] Speaker 2: Bogut, I think. He said, Bogut, Bogut. Bogut, Bogut.
[1:09:47] Speaker 1: DeAndre Hunter. DeAndre Hunter. Like, these guys.
[1:09:49] Speaker 2: Onyeka, Kong Wu.
[1:09:51] Speaker 1: They all solid.
[1:09:52] Speaker 2: They all solid guys.
[1:09:53] Speaker 5: Big man went to USC, right?
[1:09:54] Speaker 2: I mean, Chino Hills. Yeah. More importantly.
[1:09:56] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:09:57] Speaker 2: Wow.
[1:09:58] Speaker 1: High school national champion.
[1:10:00] Speaker 2: Played with the Ball Brothers. USC native. You know?
[1:10:03] Speaker 1: They remind me a lot of, like, OKC and all
[1:10:05] Speaker 1: the other teams that's trying to build basketball.
[1:10:07] Speaker 2: From the ground up. Yeah, they do got an OKC team.
[1:10:10] Speaker 5: But I think I like Trey because I don't think
[1:10:13] Speaker 5: they can't trade him now because he fits perfect with
[1:10:16] Speaker 5: the other guys.
[1:10:17] Speaker 2: Get them open lives. They athletic. They get in the playoffs.
[1:10:21] Speaker 2: They can play.
[1:10:22] Speaker 6: Man.
[1:10:23] Speaker 2: They know they can beat them, right? They know they
[1:10:25] Speaker 2: can beat them. They know they can play with them. So, yeah,
[1:10:26] Speaker 2: if they get any one of them in the playoffs
[1:10:28] Speaker 2: in their first round, bro, look out.
[1:10:30] Speaker 5: Because the defense, and they late. That's the only thing.
[1:10:32] Speaker 1: They need to play better defense in the crunch time
[1:10:35] Speaker 1: because they give up a lot of bullshit. That's the
[1:10:37] Speaker 1: only thing. Because they're young. They're young. That's what OKC's learning.
[1:10:41] Speaker 1: They are learning how to play defense in crunch time.
[1:10:44] Speaker 2: Don't give up bullshit. Once Atlanta figure that out, they
[1:10:46] Speaker 2: can beat anybody.
[1:10:47] Speaker 3: Currently 18th ranked defense based on defensive rating in the league.
[1:10:50] Speaker 2: If they can shore that up a little bit. For sure. Yeah,
[1:10:53] Speaker 2: because they got that.
[1:10:56] Speaker 6: They contend.
[1:10:57] Speaker 1: They got a nice squad.
[1:10:57] Speaker 2: They got a nice squad, man.
[1:10:59] Speaker 1: Okay.
[1:10:59] Speaker 2: We're rolling with the lineup. I became a believer. I
[1:11:02] Speaker 2: ain't gonna lie a little bit.
[1:11:03] Speaker 1: What you thinking, Lexi? I don't know.
[1:11:05] Speaker 6: They don't need another person?
[1:11:08] Speaker 2: Like what?
[1:11:08] Speaker 1: Like a guard?
[1:11:10] Speaker 4: I mean, everyone, but why would you bring up that
[1:11:12] Speaker 4: he's never played with an all-star before? I feel like
[1:11:14] Speaker 4: that's what everybody thinks he's missing.
[1:11:16] Speaker 3: But I feel like Jalen Johnson is not an all-star this.
[1:11:19] Speaker 2: Year, but on that trajectory.
[1:11:21] Speaker 1: We.
[1:11:22] Speaker 4: Say, like, they're like, okay, see, but Trey, he's not
[1:11:24] Speaker 4: as young as.
[1:11:25] Speaker 2: Do you need that?
[1:11:27] Speaker 3: I feel like you're away from really potentially doing something.
[1:11:31] Speaker 2: A man averaged 12 assists, so you don't need nobody else.
[1:11:34] Speaker 2: You don't need another playmaker.
[1:11:36] Speaker 1: You don't need nobody else that's going to take the
[1:11:38] Speaker 1: ball out of his hand.
[1:11:40] Speaker 2: Murray did that. Murray took the ball out of his hand.
[1:11:42] Speaker 2: He's averaging 12 assists, so he's making up for that scoring.
[1:11:46] Speaker 2: Somebody's making up for it.
[1:11:47] Speaker 1: Everybody else scoring is up.
[1:11:50] Speaker 2: Yeah, Bogdanovich is up.
[1:11:51] Speaker 6: Maybe that's the switch he had.
[1:11:53] Speaker 1: Yep.
[1:11:53] Speaker 6: Hunter coming off the bench.
[1:11:54] Speaker 2: Boggy Boggy off the bench. Hunter come off the bench.
[1:11:56] Speaker 1: So he's a six-man. So he's up for six-man of
[1:11:59] Speaker 1: the year as well. Boggy Boggy coming off the bench.
[1:12:02] Speaker 4: Well, that's what he said in the, I don't know
[1:12:03] Speaker 4: if it was postgame or halftime, but he said that
[1:12:06] Speaker 4: he couldn't figure out how they was defending him, so
[1:12:08] Speaker 4: he's facilitating more. In the past, he would just try
[1:12:11] Speaker 4: and score no matter what. Now he's like, okay, I'm
[1:12:13] Speaker 4: going to.
[1:12:13] Speaker 6: Figure it out, but I'm still facilitating. And then once
[1:12:15] Speaker 6: I figure it out.
[1:12:16] Speaker 2: It definitely goes forward. Steve pointed out 22 shots, 8
[1:12:18] Speaker 2: for 22. And Quinn Snyder over there preaching it to him.
[1:12:22] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:12:22] Speaker 2: You know, use your guys, breaking it down for him,
[1:12:25] Speaker 2: making him trust his guys even more. Them guys putting
[1:12:28] Speaker 2: the time in, man. They working hard as well, right?
[1:12:30] Speaker 2: You ain't going nowhere working hard. Those guys are working
[1:12:33] Speaker 2: hard as well, so let's trust them.
[1:12:34] Speaker 1: Right?
[1:12:35] Speaker 2: And then let's give them the confidence that you already have.
[1:12:37] Speaker 2: Let's give that to them guys, man. And when you
[1:12:40] Speaker 2: have a pass-first guy, it helps.
[1:12:44] Speaker 3: The Hawks feel like potential to be a great regular
[1:12:46] Speaker 3: season team just from those young guys. They'll be durable.
[1:12:48] Speaker 3: They'll be able to play a lot of games. We'll
[1:12:50] Speaker 3: see when they get to the playoffs. But then you
[1:12:53] Speaker 3: got a guy that's been there.
[1:12:54] Speaker 1: Yeah, experience. He has experience.
[1:12:56] Speaker 2: So we get there, right? We all get there. But
[1:12:58] Speaker 2: now we got a guy.
[1:12:59] Speaker 1: That's, right?
[1:13:00] Speaker 2: Go ahead. Break that shit down, man. Break it down, okay?
[1:13:04] Speaker 1: Break it down, okay?
[1:13:06] Speaker 2: Go ahead and tell them what that one guy.
[1:13:08] Speaker 1: Tell them about that one guy that's been there. One
[1:13:10] Speaker 1: guy that's got the ball in his hand, right?
[1:13:12] Speaker 2: And that's important. So it ain't the big that's been there.
[1:13:17] Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals experience. It's the guy that has the
[1:13:19] Speaker 2: experience that makes all the decisions that's been in these. So, yeah,
[1:13:23] Speaker 2: he has experience, man, to you guys' point. He has
[1:13:27] Speaker 2: winning experience, not at the highest. He ain't got there yet,
[1:13:31] Speaker 2: but to be in the East and win, go deep
[1:13:34] Speaker 2: in the playoffs with some of the teams that he's had.
[1:13:38] Speaker 1: Those guys got to listen to him when he's saying
[1:13:40] Speaker 1: some shit.
[1:13:43] Speaker 2: I got the experience. I'm going to tell y'all how
[1:13:44] Speaker 2: I go.
[1:13:45] Speaker 1: And you ain't got nobody else to listen to because
[1:13:47] Speaker 1: Kobe and Mike and all the rest of them, nigga,
[1:13:50] Speaker 1: they ain't on the scene. They can't talk to you.
[1:13:52] Speaker 1: Only I can talk to you. I'm Nick, and I'm
[1:13:55] Speaker 1: the only one on this team that's been here. So
[1:13:57] Speaker 1: listen to what I'm saying. If I'm Alex Caruso, hey,
[1:14:01] Speaker 1: nobody else on this team has been to the playoffs,
[1:14:04] Speaker 1: so you listen to me. Because I am an NBA champion.
[1:14:07] Speaker 1: I'm not Kobe, I'm not none of them, because they're
[1:14:09] Speaker 1: not here, and they wouldn't talk to you in any way.
[1:14:12] Speaker 1: But Alex Caruso, as an NBA champion, I am here
[1:14:14] Speaker 1: to talk to you. I am here to talk to
[1:14:16] Speaker 1: you because I have experience. Yes, I did not score 20.
[1:14:20] Speaker 1: I did not play 20 minutes. But I did watch
[1:14:22] Speaker 1: them play those minutes. And I was there in the
[1:14:25] Speaker 1: lunch line. I was eating, too. I seen what he
[1:14:28] Speaker 1: liked to eat before the damn game.
[1:14:30] Speaker 2: I tried it. It didn't work for me.
[1:14:32] Speaker 1: Shit, we different.
[1:14:34] Speaker 2: I don't eat yogurt. I'm lactose.
[1:14:36] Speaker 1: I'm lactose.
[1:14:37] Speaker 2: I'm lactose intolerant.
[1:14:40] Speaker 1: Swaggy, based on your NBA championship experience, was there a
[1:14:46] Speaker 1: lot of yogurt being eaten on that Warrior Squad?
[1:14:51] Speaker 2: No, it was more bagels and shit. Okay, bagels. Wow.
[1:14:54] Speaker 2: I would have never guessed that. Yeah, that brother's stopping. Yeah,
[1:14:58] Speaker 2: that brother's stopping.
[1:15:00] Speaker 1: So, more bagels.
[1:15:01] Speaker 2: Okay. So, bagels helped me. Okay. Yeah.
[1:15:05] Speaker 1: They're never having that experience.
[1:15:07] Speaker 6: I get these gems.
[1:15:09] Speaker 2: We were levelist. Oh, God.
[1:15:11] Speaker 3: We asked to chat, like Trey Young, rolling the dice
[1:15:14] Speaker 3: on the Knicks. 92% say yes. Chat, we thrive on negativity.
[1:15:16] Speaker 3: We appreciate y'all.
[1:15:17] Speaker 2: 92%. We love disrespect here.
[1:15:19] Speaker 1: That was AD.
[1:15:20] Speaker 2: They live in New York. They live in New York.
[1:15:22] Speaker 2: Steve voted.
[1:15:23] Speaker 1: I mean, I voted, too.
[1:15:24] Speaker 2: You didn't vote, no. You didn't vote, no. Steve voted, absolutely.
[1:15:29] Speaker 1: I voted no, too, just in solidarity. He got four
[1:15:32] Speaker 1: computers over there.
[1:15:34] Speaker 6: Oh, no.
[1:15:34] Speaker 2: His phone, his earphone. Phone, the iPad. Everybody's phoning in.
[1:15:39] Speaker 2: He called his people, too. Hey, hey, hey, vote, vote,
[1:15:42] Speaker 2: vote right now. This is going to be the question. Hey, listen.
[1:15:47] Speaker 3: Put it on the kid's iPad. Baby, now listen carefully. So,
[1:15:51] Speaker 3: but here's another interesting thing. We asked the chat, are
[1:15:53] Speaker 3: the Hawks contenders in the East? 49% said yes. 51%
[1:15:57] Speaker 3: said no. But more surprising, that 49%.
[1:15:59] Speaker 1: You know what that does. That 49 turns to 50.
[1:16:02] Speaker 1: And then something interesting, too. Trey's points per game are
[1:16:04] Speaker 1: on a four-year decline. His 21 points per game this
[1:16:07] Speaker 1: season is lowest since.
[1:16:07] Speaker 2: His rookie year.
[1:16:08] Speaker 3: But he's also in a career-low field going three-point percentage, too, so.
[1:16:14] Speaker 2: So he's struggling and he winning. Winning but distributing. His
[1:16:18] Speaker 2: pass is up. Distributing. That's the point. Career high. Career
[1:16:22] Speaker 2: high assist. Let me pull it up.
[1:16:24] Speaker 6: It's up two from last year, I think.
[1:16:27] Speaker 2: Rayford Young, the third. Better wise known as Trey.
[1:16:30] Speaker 6: 12 assists a game.
[1:16:31] Speaker 2: Off to Rayford Jr. Career high. Career high and assist.
[1:16:34] Speaker 2: It's a crazy dynamic, ain't it?
[1:16:36] Speaker 1: Man.
[1:16:37] Speaker 2: You play worse with your assists and your chemistry.
[1:16:40] Speaker 3: Career low in turnovers. Oh, no, wait, no, excuse me,
[1:16:43] Speaker 3: excuse me. Leading the league in assists.
[1:16:46] Speaker 2: That's beautiful. Turnovers is not career low, excuse me.
[1:16:48] Speaker 6: Who's under?
[1:16:48] Speaker 2: I mean, it's the average, you know. Ooh, 4.6, but
[1:16:50] Speaker 2: averaging 12.2 assists. That's good.
[1:16:52] Speaker 1: That's great. So you see that 4.6 turnover, a lot
[1:16:55] Speaker 1: of people be like, but that 2-1.
[1:16:57] Speaker 2: See, but I play with two-point guards, right, that led
[1:17:00] Speaker 2: the league in assists and turnovers.
[1:17:02] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:17:03] Speaker 2: One of them being Jason Kidd. And Andre Miller. As
[1:17:06] Speaker 2: long as it's two.
[1:17:06] Speaker 1: To one, as long as it's better two to one.
[1:17:10] Speaker 2: But you can't be afraid to turn. If you're going
[1:17:13] Speaker 2: to be a willing passer, you can't be afraid to
[1:17:16] Speaker 2: turn the ball around. As long as you lead in
[1:17:18] Speaker 2: the league in assists, you can get that 4.6 down
[1:17:21] Speaker 2: a little. Yeah, of course. You're making good decisions, though.
[1:17:26] Speaker 2: You're making great decisions. 3.6, yeah, that's basically five.
[1:17:30] Speaker 3: In seven years, the assists have gone up every single season.
[1:17:34] Speaker 6: Figuring it out.
[1:17:34] Speaker 2: Yeah. I can say what y'all want.
[1:17:36] Speaker 1: Think about if he had really polished players on his team.
[1:17:39] Speaker 2: Them, they'd go way down.
[1:17:42] Speaker 6: He'd probably get way more assists.
[1:17:43] Speaker 2: Way more assists.
[1:17:44] Speaker 3: So, Sean, let's talk about your New York Knicks. Will
[1:17:47] Speaker 3: not be going to Vegas for the NBA Cups in
[1:17:48] Speaker 3: my finals, unfortunately. No good at it in the arena today.
[1:17:52] Speaker 3: But they're fourth in the East and have a record
[1:17:53] Speaker 3: of 15-10 through 25-game shot. How would you grade the Knicks'
[1:17:56] Speaker 3: performance through the first 25 games of the season?
[1:18:00] Speaker 6: Hmm.
[1:18:02] Speaker 1: Let's see.
[1:18:03] Speaker 2: Remember, they just rolled the dice on y'all. They did.
[1:18:06] Speaker 2: And it was planned. Give us an A-, B +. Okay.
[1:18:10] Speaker 1: I think we rallied to get to this point. I
[1:18:12] Speaker 1: think losing that game sends a message. It's kind of like,
[1:18:16] Speaker 1: you know, when you're in college and you're playing in
[1:18:18] Speaker 1: a tournament, like the ACC tournament, right before you go
[1:18:22] Speaker 1: to the tournament, you got to get your ass whooped,
[1:18:24] Speaker 1: or you win the tournament to give you confidence. Or
[1:18:26] Speaker 1: you become a national champion and have national championship level experience.
[1:18:30] Speaker 1: But see, we lost in the ACC tournament. Yeah, so
[1:18:36] Speaker 1: it kind of gives you some momentum when you do
[1:18:38] Speaker 1: get a loss and you need to go back. Tips
[1:18:40] Speaker 1: need to get in the video room and make sure
[1:18:43] Speaker 1: they learn from their mistakes. But I think they just
[1:18:45] Speaker 1: keep doing what they've been doing. One loss, we're not
[1:18:47] Speaker 1: going to define it. I think they just get to
[1:18:49] Speaker 1: the next game. They're going to be fine.
[1:18:50] Speaker 5: Y'all lost in the championship game or the first round?
[1:18:53] Speaker 2: Which one? In the tournament. We lost in the championship game.
[1:18:57] Speaker 2: We lost in the game right before the championship. Oh, okay. Semifinal? Semifinal.
[1:19:02] Speaker 2: But then went on to... Yeah, 6-0. They killed us.
[1:19:06] Speaker 2: We played them.
[1:19:06] Speaker 5: They blew us out by like 40 or something.
[1:19:09] Speaker 2: Yeah, we was not playing with y'all. We was not
[1:19:13] Speaker 2: playing with y'all. Y'all came in there happy and shit.
[1:19:16] Speaker 1: These L.A. motherfuckers in here smiling and shit.
[1:19:18] Speaker 5: I said, these motherfuckers good or what?
[1:19:21] Speaker 2: Is this what college is? Because this was our second game.
[1:19:24] Speaker 2: I said, damn. And they brought their ass on here too.
[1:19:28] Speaker 2: Laudrick and Rodney. We can hit it a little bit.
[1:19:33] Speaker 2: You see that? Yeah. I did see that last night.
[1:19:36] Speaker 2: I did see it.
[1:19:37] Speaker 6: What is it?
[1:19:39] Speaker 2: We'll get to it a little bit later in the show.
[1:19:41] Speaker 1: Okay.
[1:19:42] Speaker 2: All right. Reporting getting questioned by ages. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1:19:47] Speaker 2: Situations like that.
[1:19:47] Speaker 6: I did see that.
[1:19:48] Speaker 3: But you say A-minus, big plus for Nick's grade so
[1:19:51] Speaker 3: far this season.
[1:19:52] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:19:52] Speaker 3: Talking about a team who finished second in the East
[1:19:54] Speaker 3: last year, 50-32 record, 15-10 right now.
[1:19:57] Speaker 2: Made that big play for that. Second in the East,
[1:19:59] Speaker 2: finished second in the East.
[1:20:01] Speaker 6: No, I've been sleeping on that.
[1:20:03] Speaker 4: That wasn't even your team last year.
[1:20:05] Speaker 2: Second and easy. But you were monitoring them?
[1:20:07] Speaker 1: I was monitoring them. You were looking at other options.
[1:20:09] Speaker 1: And my fellow New Yorker. Yes, and my fellow New Yorker,
[1:20:12] Speaker 1: we had a conversation. I said, should I? He said, no,
[1:20:15] Speaker 1: don't do it yet.
[1:20:16] Speaker 2: Let's wait till the summer.
[1:20:17] Speaker 6: That's crazy.
[1:20:19] Speaker 2: Didn't make that move. Well, let's keep this thing moving.

[1:21:07] Speaker 3: The day, let's take a quick look at the NBA
[1:21:10] Speaker 3: Cup bracket. And we're currently talking to Aura. We're going

[1:21:23] Speaker 3: We've got a single elimination semifinal starting this Saturday with

[1:21:31] Speaker 2: Pacific.
[1:21:31] Speaker 3: We are a West Coast show. And then the Thunder
[1:21:33] Speaker 3: and Rockets at 5.30 p.m. Pacific in Las Vegas. T-Mobile Arena.
[1:21:38] Speaker 2: Anybody on it?
[1:21:40] Speaker 1: Mr.
[1:21:40] Speaker 3: B may be on his way currently trying to secure tickets.
[1:21:43] Speaker 2: To Vegas? Yes. You see that ass with me?
[1:21:46] Speaker 1: Yeah, no invite.
[1:21:48] Speaker 2: So now let's get to our Aura Watch. That's your homeboy.
[1:21:52] Speaker 2: That's great.
[1:21:53] Speaker 3: Let's get to our Aura Watch question of the day.
[1:21:55] Speaker 3: We'll have three minutes on the clock. Which team would
[1:21:58] Speaker 3: benefit the most from winning the NBA Cup? The Bucs,
[1:22:01] Speaker 3: the Hawks, the Thunder, or the Rockets?
[1:22:03] Speaker 2: Let's start it now. Which team would benefit the most
[1:22:05] Speaker 2: from winning the NBA Cup?
[1:22:08] Speaker 6: I'm going to say the Rockets.
[1:22:10] Speaker 4: Only because what we were talking about earlier, I think
[1:22:12] Speaker 4: it would give them a better chance to have multiple All-Stars.
[1:22:15] Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to guarantee that, but I
[1:22:17] Speaker 4: think it would give them a better chance to have
[1:22:19] Speaker 4: multiple All-Stars. Because I think they deserve to have more
[1:22:23] Speaker 4: than one. Yeah, I pick the Rockets.
[1:22:26] Speaker 2: What do you think? I got to go with the Bucs.
[1:22:33] Speaker 2: They in desperate need of something. Some type of hope?
[1:22:36] Speaker 1: Something.
[1:22:37] Speaker 2: Maybe hope? What's she at, man? You know where Hope
[1:22:42] Speaker 2: work at. Figueroa. Fig. Fig is popping. It's nasty, man.
[1:22:49] Speaker 2: I'd probably say OKC, though.
[1:22:51] Speaker 1: I don't know.
[1:22:52] Speaker 5: Just because they need that feeling of winning something.
[1:22:58] Speaker 2: Their goal is to win a championship.
[1:23:00] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:23:01] Speaker 2: Yeah. It'll feel like a championship.
[1:23:03] Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll feel like a championship just to get that
[1:23:06] Speaker 5: feeling of winning it.
[1:23:07] Speaker 2: That might be dangerous for them.
[1:23:09] Speaker 6: Yeah, it might take them to a different level.
[1:23:10] Speaker 2: That might be dangerous for them.
[1:23:12] Speaker 1: They already championship after every game.
[1:23:15] Speaker 4: Imagine if they actually win a championship.
[1:23:18] Speaker 1: Championship in Vegas, too, for a young man. I might
[1:23:20] Speaker 1: have to agree with you on that one. OKC might
[1:23:23] Speaker 1: be the one that need this the most. Yeah, I
[1:23:26] Speaker 1: think so. I'm going to go with Houston with Lexi.
[1:23:31] Speaker 2: Figured. No, because they didn't get a lot of losing.
[1:23:34] Speaker 6: Yes, the side was since.
[1:23:35] Speaker 2: Of course.
[1:23:36] Speaker 1: Who else was through?
[1:23:37] Speaker 6: Because this is the side was since.
[1:23:39] Speaker 1: Texas boy. He going to go with Texas?
[1:23:41] Speaker 2: No, I've been, you know, OKC makes sense what y'all said, absolutely.
[1:23:46] Speaker 2: But I just look at where Houston has been lately.
[1:23:52] Speaker 2: Like I said, they did a lot of losing to
[1:23:54] Speaker 2: be in second place. Yeah, facts.
[1:23:56] Speaker 1: Right?
[1:23:57] Speaker 2: And to have something to early.
[1:24:00] Speaker 1: other than.
[1:24:00] Speaker 2: The playoffs to show for that, yeah, I think Barack
[1:24:04] Speaker 2: agrees with that.
[1:24:05] Speaker 6: Yeah, like, something tangible.
[1:24:06] Speaker 2: That makes sense. Because they dangerous, too.
[1:24:08] Speaker 1: If they win it.
[1:24:08] Speaker 6: Like, something tangible. Like, yeah, okay, we made the playoffs.
[1:24:11] Speaker 2: Cool.
[1:24:11] Speaker 6: But, like, you're going to have, like, an actual trophy.
[1:24:13] Speaker 6: You're going to get a check for it. A build
[1:24:16] Speaker 6: on it. I don't know if they'll give them a banner, like.
[1:24:19] Speaker 1: They got a banner, right?
[1:24:20] Speaker 6: Like them.
[1:24:20] Speaker 2: They got one, right?
[1:24:21] Speaker 6: They have a banner.
[1:24:22] Speaker 2: Everybody gets a banner. Everybody gets a banner.
[1:24:25] Speaker 6: They've now set the precedent. Everyone gets a banner.
[1:24:27] Speaker 1: Everybody gets a banner.
[1:24:28] Speaker 6: Everyone gets a banner.
[1:24:30] Speaker 3: NBA Cup champion, the hardest NBA Cup championship still?
[1:24:34] Speaker 2: The hardest? The first one is always the hardest.
[1:24:37] Speaker 6: Y'all didn't put up a banner. Nobody would put up
[1:24:39] Speaker 6: a banner.
[1:24:39] Speaker 1: I don't think nobody would even think about putting up
[1:24:41] Speaker 1: no banner.
[1:24:42] Speaker 6: So y'all did that.
[1:24:43] Speaker 3: But you have the Bucks who have Darvin Ham and
[1:24:46] Speaker 3: Torian Prince with NBA.
[1:24:47] Speaker 2: Cup championship experience. Never lost in the NBA Cup. Never lost.
[1:24:52] Speaker 2: I don't think he want to win that. Oh, is it?
[1:24:54] Speaker 1: It's a, okay.
[1:24:55] Speaker 2: It's like a curse for the ham.
[1:24:57] Speaker 1: Is it a curse or is it look what happens
[1:24:59] Speaker 1: when you got me on your team when we playing
[1:25:00] Speaker 1: the cup?
[1:25:02] Speaker 2: Guarantee to win.
[1:25:04] Speaker 5: But you just guarantee him to win the cup.
[1:25:07] Speaker 1: Because I'm going to be cut before the cut. They're
[1:25:11] Speaker 1: going to cut me before we get to the end
[1:25:13] Speaker 1: of this shit, so I'm not going to win me something.
[1:25:15] Speaker 1: Let me be undefeated in something, Brian.
[1:25:17] Speaker 6: I'm leaving here with something.
[1:25:18] Speaker 1: Yeah, he could be undefeated. I just want to be
[1:25:20] Speaker 1: undefeated in something.
[1:25:22] Speaker 5: That'd be good for Trae Young, too, though, just to
[1:25:24] Speaker 5: win something after all the negativity.
[1:25:27] Speaker 4: It'll be good for Trae Young by himself.
[1:25:29] Speaker 6: I mean, it'll be good for the Hawks.
[1:25:30] Speaker 5: It'd be good for the Hawks, too, because they're young,
[1:25:32] Speaker 5: but Trae just... The way the media treat him, I
[1:25:35] Speaker 5: think this is made, just from rolling the dice, it
[1:25:39] Speaker 5: made us like, okay, this got the, it got it
[1:25:42] Speaker 5: hyped up.
[1:25:43] Speaker 6: At least a week, they don't have to talk positive
[1:25:47] Speaker 6: about him.
[1:25:48] Speaker 3: They have to. You know, haters thrive in any condition.
[1:25:51] Speaker 3: They probably don't have to do anything.
[1:25:53] Speaker 1: Unless there's another headline in front of him for that week.
[1:25:58] Speaker 1: You know, people like to talk about other things. Oh, brah, brah, brah, brah.
[1:26:02] Speaker 1: Just hope that it's only Trey Young if he wins.
[1:26:04] Speaker 1: We don't want to hear no Laker talk.
[1:26:06] Speaker 2: There we go.
[1:26:08] Speaker 6: We don't want.
[1:26:09] Speaker 1: To hear no Laker talk.
[1:26:11] Speaker 3: Shout out Paulo, a man of much skill, much dedication.
[1:26:16] Speaker 4: We don't even need to talk about them today, honestly.
[1:26:20] Speaker 3: That was our Aura Watch segment of the day.
[1:26:24] Speaker 2: Let's talk about them Lakers, man.
[1:26:29] Speaker 3: That was not on our agenda, but I was trying
[1:26:32] Speaker 3: to keep it Laker free.
[1:26:33] Speaker 1: Please.
[1:26:33] Speaker 2: There were reports, though, that come from Kendrick Perkins. Love Perk.
[1:26:37] Speaker 2: What did he say?
[1:26:38] Speaker 3: He said that last year, obviously, the Warriors and the
[1:26:42] Speaker 3: Lakers were apparently in talks for a trade to send
[1:26:44] Speaker 3: LeBron to team up with Steph.
[1:26:47] Speaker 2: Rich Paul shut it down.
[1:26:49] Speaker 3: He said this season, if LeBron did request a trade,
[1:26:51] Speaker 3: there are no indications that he has requested a trade
[1:26:54] Speaker 3: or will request a trade. but that Rich Paul would
[1:26:56] Speaker 3: not shut that down if he tried to get to
[1:26:57] Speaker 3: the Warriors. In the aftermath of that, LeBron did not
[1:27:00] Speaker 3: show up to Lakers practice while he dealt with personal issues.
[1:27:03] Speaker 6: This is so crazy. Like, we could just say whatever
[1:27:05] Speaker 6: they want.
[1:27:06] Speaker 1: What's going on? What's going on?
[1:27:07] Speaker 6: Just say whatever they want.
[1:27:09] Speaker 1: What's going on?
[1:27:10] Speaker 2: Who cares if it's true? What's truth anymore? That's what
[1:27:14] Speaker 2: I'm saying. What's truth?
[1:27:15] Speaker 6: You messing with people.
[1:27:16] Speaker 4: Like, who was the first person to report that?
[1:27:20] Speaker 2: Me. So, Brian Windhorst, Kendrick Perkins.
[1:27:23] Speaker 6: You wanted to go to the Warriors?
[1:27:24] Speaker 1: Me.
[1:27:25] Speaker 3: Brian Winters, Kendrick Perkins, both made that report, but both
[1:27:28] Speaker 3: clarified that there was no trade being requested right now.
[1:27:30] Speaker 3: You'd have to imagine if a trade did happen, in theory,
[1:27:33] Speaker 3: Bronny would be a part of that as well and
[1:27:35] Speaker 3: help bring.
[1:27:37] Speaker 1: His influence and respect.
[1:27:40] Speaker 5: Nah, I don't think LeBron could leave L.A. They did
[1:27:44] Speaker 5: too much for him, man. They drafted Bronny and all that.
[1:27:47] Speaker 2: I mean, several teams wanted to draft Bronny, I don't think.
[1:27:49] Speaker 2: But they didn't, you know.
[1:27:52] Speaker 1: Use your brain. You think he can leave?
[1:27:54] Speaker 2: Nah.
[1:27:54] Speaker 1: You don't think that's the plan?
[1:27:56] Speaker 5: Nah, he can't do that to the home team. He's
[1:28:00] Speaker 5: stuck for life. I drafted your son.
[1:28:04] Speaker 6: He ain't get jumped in.
[1:28:05] Speaker 2: He got jumped in. He got jumped in. Son got
[1:28:07] Speaker 2: jumped in.
[1:28:08] Speaker 1: Your son got jumped in the Lakers, son. Damn. Birthright citizenship.
[1:28:13] Speaker 1: He's trying to get up out of here. He's trying
[1:28:14] Speaker 1: to get up out of here. What pick did LeBron
[1:28:16] Speaker 1: get drafted? You can't deport LeBron. LeBron was the 50th pick?
[1:28:20] Speaker 2: 55th pick. That's what I'm saying. I ask the question,
[1:28:22] Speaker 2: what does it do if he does get traded? What
[1:28:24] Speaker 2: does it do? What does it say? People hate LeBron anyway, Sean.
[1:28:28] Speaker 1: I'm asking the question. I'm just asking a very simple question.
[1:28:31] Speaker 6: Honestly, I think it depends on where he gets traded to.
[1:28:34] Speaker 2: It depends. Yeah.
[1:28:36] Speaker 6: There's going to be different narratives team to team.
[1:28:38] Speaker 2: He can't just get traded to... any team. So we
[1:28:41] Speaker 2: move again.
[1:28:41] Speaker 4: Like if he goes back to Cleveland, I think that
[1:28:45] Speaker 4: would be like the safest.
[1:28:46] Speaker 1: Look, we're moving. We have our resident Cleveland Cavs fan here.
[1:28:49] Speaker 1: Would you be supportive of a LeBron back to Cleveland?
[1:28:52] Speaker 2: Absolutely. He could go to Cleveland. Good man right there.
[1:28:55] Speaker 6: If he wants the least amount of pushback, It's Cleveland.
[1:29:00] Speaker 5: No, he could go to Cleveland and not go with
[1:29:01] Speaker 5: one of his homies.
[1:29:02] Speaker 2: If he goes to the Warriors, my fear is if
[1:29:05] Speaker 2: he goes to the Warriors... No, they already did.
[1:29:06] Speaker 6: That, though. They already built a super... If.
[1:29:09] Speaker 2: He goes to the Warriors, they'll bring him down and
[1:29:11] Speaker 2: he'll get the blame.
[1:29:11] Speaker 1: It's like going back to that ex in high school
[1:29:13] Speaker 1: that you.
[1:29:14] Speaker 2: I want to see that, though.
[1:29:15] Speaker 6: I know. I wanted to see it like five years ago.
[1:29:18] Speaker 2: But you circled back twice.
[1:29:19] Speaker 6: Four years ago, I wanted to see.
[1:29:21] Speaker 1: Brown and stuff.
[1:29:21] Speaker 2: You didn't circle back twice. This is your third time
[1:29:23] Speaker 2: back at Bertha.
[1:29:25] Speaker 5: But, you know, the first time I circled back, I
[1:29:27] Speaker 5: left something in there.
[1:29:28] Speaker 2: You definitely left a lot. Yeah, I got a chip.
[1:29:30] Speaker 2: I left something in there. But you left, you left.
[1:29:33] Speaker 2: But I want to make her a wholesome woman now.
[1:29:35] Speaker 1: Remember how you left, though. I want to make her
[1:29:37] Speaker 1: a wholesome woman. You left me with nothing. You left
[1:29:40] Speaker 1: me with nothing. No, no, I left you with a chip.
[1:29:42] Speaker 2: I left you with a, you know, you circled back. Championship,
[1:29:45] Speaker 2: a hope. First championship, 50 years. And you came back.
[1:29:49] Speaker 1: I ain't got no pockets. What do I need pockets for?
[1:29:52] Speaker 1: You left me with nothing.
[1:29:53] Speaker 2: I got nothing. You got a chip.
[1:29:55] Speaker 6: They literally talk in code.
[1:29:57] Speaker 3: They left you to build a foundation to have a
[1:29:59] Speaker 3: team that is currently number one.
[1:30:00] Speaker 1: Now you want to come back? You want to come back?
[1:30:04] Speaker 2: You want to come back? The least I could do.
[1:30:06] Speaker 2: Now you want to come back.
[1:30:07] Speaker 6: We need subtitles.
[1:30:08] Speaker 5: That's like when you see one of your old things.
[1:30:10] Speaker 5: We need a translator.
[1:30:12] Speaker 2: You can go get her now. You can go get
[1:30:14] Speaker 2: her now.
[1:30:15] Speaker 1: I could go get her now because she's.
[1:30:17] Speaker 6: They literally talk about NBA stuff. I need to translate this.
[1:30:20] Speaker 2: No, it's movie reference.
[1:30:21] Speaker 1: You got to be able to watch movies and play
[1:30:23] Speaker 1: basketball at the same time.
[1:30:24] Speaker 2: It's called Love and Basketball. You know that movie?
[1:30:26] Speaker 6: Hate that movie.
[1:30:27] Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Hey, there you go. She don't
[1:30:29] Speaker 2: get it. She wasn't paying attention.
[1:30:31] Speaker 4: Love and Basketball is a horror movie.
[1:30:34] Speaker 5: Don't love basketball.
[1:30:36] Speaker 2: Lexi, we could have... I will not collaborate. I love
[1:30:39] Speaker 2: the fact that you referenced that. It's a horror film.
[1:30:43] Speaker 2: Why is it a horror movie? I will not elaborate.
[1:30:46] Speaker 6: There is a thread on Twitter about it.
[1:30:48] Speaker 2: A lot of people agree. It's a horror film.
[1:30:52] Speaker 6: Why would you dunk on me if you love me?
[1:30:56] Speaker 6: Why would you do that?
[1:30:57] Speaker 1: Why?
[1:30:58] Speaker 6: Why would you do that?
[1:30:58] Speaker 2: What do you mean, why would I dunk on you?
[1:31:00] Speaker 1: Check ball!
[1:31:01] Speaker 6: What? For a game?
[1:31:02] Speaker 1: Yes, because I'm dunking. I'm about to dunk on you.
[1:31:05] Speaker 1: I'm going to dunk on you in the court. I'm
[1:31:07] Speaker 1: about to take you in the bedroom. I'm going to
[1:31:09] Speaker 1: dunk on you in there, too. So this is all
[1:31:11] Speaker 1: the dunking. You're doing a lot of dunking.
[1:31:13] Speaker 2: We're playing for your heart.
[1:31:14] Speaker 6: Dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk.
[1:31:16] Speaker 1: You don't want me to dunk on you.
[1:31:20] Speaker 2: I'm the only one supposed to be dunking on you.
[1:31:21] Speaker 2: I'm not going to play if I score you strip.
[1:31:24] Speaker 2: That ain't right. Oh, man. I learned so much from that.
[1:31:29] Speaker 2: Just that movie. Exactly. That is that movie. My point.
[1:31:32] Speaker 2: That was in the dorm room. That was in the dorm.
[1:31:35] Speaker 2: The fact that these two love the movie.
[1:31:38] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:31:38] Speaker 2: Shout out Charles O'Bannon. I'm trying to go get some
[1:31:41] Speaker 2: chicken wings.
[1:31:42] Speaker 1: I'm just saying.
[1:31:42] Speaker 2: Love and basketball.
[1:31:43] Speaker 6: Y'all love that movie.
[1:31:45] Speaker 2: Man, with Sanaa Lathan, where she at?
[1:31:46] Speaker 1: Where she was at my school. Lexi Crenshaw High School.
[1:31:51] Speaker 4: It's a classic.
[1:31:54] Speaker 6: I ain't going to take that away. But.
[1:31:56] Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you a fact about that movie
[1:31:58] Speaker 3: after the show that may surprise you, but we're going
[1:32:00] Speaker 3: to chat about it after the show. It's close to
[1:32:02] Speaker 3: my family's heart.
[1:32:03] Speaker 6: I'm not from Jacksonville.
[1:32:05] Speaker 2: Where did that come from? Home of the Jaguar.
[1:32:08] Speaker 6: Spreading lies.
[1:32:09] Speaker 2: I'm going to say.
[1:32:11] Speaker 6: The Jacksonville because my dad is from there.
[1:32:13] Speaker 1: I'm not from there.
[1:32:14] Speaker 3: Lexi's mom here. She's not playing all that.
[1:32:16] Speaker 6: Boston girls.
[1:32:18] Speaker 2: I'm running. Lexi's mom here. Be respectful.
[1:32:22] Speaker 1: Duval.
[1:32:24] Speaker 6: Yep, he is.
[1:32:25] Speaker 1: Oh, Lord.
[1:32:26] Speaker 2: Oh, Lord. I'm going to leave him alone. He ain't
[1:32:29] Speaker 2: nothing to miss. But we talked a little bit about
[1:32:31] Speaker 2: the Lakers. Let's shift it over to the Clippers.
[1:32:33] Speaker 6: I don't come back there often.
[1:32:35] Speaker 2: Also known as the JV team.
[1:32:36] Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard yet to play a game this season while
[1:32:38] Speaker 3: dealing with inflammation in his right knee. Clippers got some
[1:32:41] Speaker 3: good news on Tuesday as the Claw practiced with the
[1:32:43] Speaker 3: team for the first time this season. So according to
[1:32:46] Speaker 3: Clippers head coach Ty Lue, Kawhi did the offensive script,
[1:32:50] Speaker 3: defensive work, but just no contact. But he pretty much
[1:32:53] Speaker 3: did everything else. Just no contact, but we was out
[1:32:56] Speaker 3: there on the court playing with his team.
[1:32:58] Speaker 2: Practiced on Tuesday? Yeah, on Tuesday. Did he practice Wednesday?
[1:33:02] Speaker 6: That is probably the most important question.
[1:33:05] Speaker 2: Call my sources.
[1:33:05] Speaker 6: Did he practice the day before?
[1:33:06] Speaker 1: Let me call my sources.
[1:33:07] Speaker 2: Probably not.
[1:33:09] Speaker 6: Once a week.
[1:33:09] Speaker 2: No, you got to let us see how he reacts.
[1:33:11] Speaker 2: They didn't practice the day. I'm pretty sure he did something.
[1:33:15] Speaker 2: He didn't have no swelling, no inflammation, none yesterday. He
[1:33:19] Speaker 2: got back out the other day.
[1:33:20] Speaker 3: According to a report from ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Kawhi could
[1:33:22] Speaker 3: be available to play in the next two weeks.
[1:33:25] Speaker 1: Wow.
[1:33:25] Speaker 3: Barring any setbacks. Without Kawhi, Clippers are 14-11 this season.
[1:33:29] Speaker 2: Currently six in the West. If he's not back in
[1:33:31] Speaker 2: two weeks, oh, that mother... Yeah, yeah.
[1:33:33] Speaker 1: Oh, I see. They set a timetable up for him.
[1:33:36] Speaker 2: That's the worst thing. Don't stop with the timetable. Whoever
[1:33:40] Speaker 2: the reporter is, like, don't stop that shit, bro.
[1:33:42] Speaker 1: He just asked.
[1:33:43] Speaker 2: I think that was conveyed to him. But don't do
[1:33:45] Speaker 2: that shit.
[1:33:45] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[1:33:46] Speaker 3: And Ty Lue was on Stephen A. Smith's show recently
[1:33:49] Speaker 3: and said that Kawhi is taking this very hard, wants
[1:33:51] Speaker 3: to be out there on the court. His teammates know
[1:33:53] Speaker 3: how hard he works. And like Gil has mentioned before,
[1:33:57] Speaker 3: it's never really from the low management standpoint from the
[1:33:59] Speaker 3: players because, as Ty Lue said, Kawhi, even at 40%,
[1:34:02] Speaker 3: wants to be out there for his team. But the
[1:34:04] Speaker 3: organization has to step in, tell him to shut it
[1:34:06] Speaker 3: down and just make.
[1:34:07] Speaker 2: Sure he's as healthy as possible.
[1:34:09] Speaker 3: But if Kawhi is able to come back in the
[1:34:12] Speaker 3: near future, what's the Clippers ceiling with a healthy Kawhi?
[1:34:14] Speaker 3: They're 14-11, very surprising. Six in the West currently. Norm Powell,
[1:34:19] Speaker 3: James Harden out there doing their thing. Zubac out there
[1:34:21] Speaker 3: balling as well. But what's the Clippers ceiling with the
[1:34:24] Speaker 3: healthy Kawhi?
[1:34:29] Speaker 2: Thinking about it.
[1:34:30] Speaker 6: But they're six right now.
[1:34:31] Speaker 2: What's the ceiling of the basement?
[1:34:33] Speaker 1: On what?
[1:34:34] Speaker 6: Ceiling on who?
[1:34:35] Speaker 2: We are in Gil's basement currently. I'll say it's at
[1:34:37] Speaker 2: least 11 feet.
[1:34:37] Speaker 6: You said what's the ceiling of the basement?
[1:34:40] Speaker 1: It's at least 11, 12 feet. Like what?
[1:34:46] Speaker 4: I'd say they could get up to fourth place.
[1:34:49] Speaker 2: Do I need a band in this bitch?
[1:34:52] Speaker 1: Yeah, they ain't going nowhere, man. They cook. Clippers cook.
[1:35:02] Speaker 2: They cook.
[1:35:06] Speaker 3: The ceiling is the roof as a bald-headed gentleman.
[1:35:08] Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
[1:35:10] Speaker 6: That was crazy that he said that.
[1:35:12] Speaker 1: Nah.
[1:35:13] Speaker 5: Who's the third one in the West right now?
[1:35:17] Speaker 1: Oh, OKC.
[1:35:17] Speaker 2: They could beat Houston. They could beat.
[1:35:19] Speaker 5: Houston with a callback.
[1:35:20] Speaker 6: Memphis, Dallas, go to say Clippers.
[1:35:22] Speaker 5: I think they got a better chance against Houston than OKC.
[1:35:25] Speaker 5: Just because Houston not used to winning. They starting to win, but.
[1:35:31] Speaker 2: Clippers?
[1:35:32] Speaker 6: With Kawhi?
[1:35:33] Speaker 5: You see James and Kawhi out there.
[1:35:35] Speaker 1: The reason you see James doing what James doing right
[1:35:38] Speaker 1: now is because it's James. And he got a big
[1:35:40] Speaker 1: like Capella. He just feels like Houston.
[1:35:43] Speaker 5: So if it was Clippers versus Houston in the first round,
[1:35:46] Speaker 5: who are you going with?
[1:35:47] Speaker 2: With Kawhi or without Kawhi? With Kawhi. I'm going with Houston.
[1:35:51] Speaker 1: No.
[1:35:52] Speaker 2: I'm going with Houston.
[1:35:53] Speaker 1: I'm going with Houston. With or without Kawhi? They attacking them, boys.
[1:35:57] Speaker 1: But without Kawhi, you feel like the same thing?
[1:35:58] Speaker 6: Are we saying, like, if Kawhi just came back or, like...
[1:36:01] Speaker 6: Just hosting?
[1:36:01] Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, you got to play Kawhi.
[1:36:04] Speaker 1: I mean, you got to play Houston.
[1:36:05] Speaker 6: What if he's, like, looking great and feeling great? You're
[1:36:07] Speaker 6: still picking Houston?
[1:36:08] Speaker 2: I'm still going with Houston. He look like himself?
[1:36:10] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[1:36:10] Speaker 2: Oh, I'm going to... He looks like that second team
[1:36:13] Speaker 2: all-NBA player like last year.
[1:36:14] Speaker 1: I think Houston got momentum right now. It don't matter
[1:36:16] Speaker 1: what Kawhi do. Well, that's not now.
[1:36:18] Speaker 5: That's like last year, though, with OKC versus Dallas.
[1:36:24] Speaker 2: If you see Kawhi and James, I think that... What
[1:36:28] Speaker 2: is Kawhi's game?
[1:36:29] Speaker 1: And the reason why they didn't get out last year
[1:36:31] Speaker 1: is because he loaded up and he stopped the ball.
[1:36:35] Speaker 1: It ain't like he's doing something outlandishly special that's going
[1:36:38] Speaker 1: to change the dynamic of how we scheme for him.
[1:36:41] Speaker 1: He's just going iso.
[1:36:43] Speaker 2: They all ISO. That's what I'm saying.
[1:36:45] Speaker 1: And he's slower and he's coming off injuries.
[1:36:47] Speaker 2: It ain't two slow ones. But he's coming off an injury.
[1:36:50] Speaker 2: You can have one slow, not two slow.
[1:36:52] Speaker 1: He's going to be slow. But you can have one
[1:36:55] Speaker 1: slow person out there. James is slow already. James is
[1:36:59] Speaker 1: like 10 speeds lower than where he used to be,
[1:37:02] Speaker 1: and he's still killing, but you got two slower, older players.
[1:37:05] Speaker 5: He's not shooting the ball as much as he used to.
[1:37:07] Speaker 2: He's passing it. Kawhi, I mean, they cook.
[1:37:10] Speaker 6: But not by much, though.
[1:37:12] Speaker 1: They cook.
[1:37:12] Speaker 2: Norman Powell got to say that.
[1:37:13] Speaker 6: No one else is really doing anything.
[1:37:14] Speaker 5: Just look at the matchup. You're going to have who?
[1:37:17] Speaker 5: James versus Van Vliet.
[1:37:18] Speaker 6: Four points.
[1:37:19] Speaker 2: You're going to have Kawhi and Green. Brooks and... Kawhi
[1:37:24] Speaker 2: and Brooks. Kawhi and Brooks, I'm taking Kawhi. Green and Powell.
[1:37:28] Speaker 2: I'm taking one-leg Kawhi.
[1:37:29] Speaker 1: I'm taking Brooks because he's going to put him on
[1:37:31] Speaker 1: one leg. He's going to put him on an ankle.
[1:37:33] Speaker 1: He's going to put him on something. He's going to
[1:37:35] Speaker 1: hound him all night. You're going to get your ass
[1:37:37] Speaker 1: about here early.
[1:37:38] Speaker 6: I don't know.
[1:37:38] Speaker 4: It kind of seems like the Clippers have been playing
[1:37:40] Speaker 4: like they know Kawhi.
[1:37:42] Speaker 6: No, like they know Kawhi is going to come back.
[1:37:44] Speaker 2: Oh, they're playing like that?
[1:37:45] Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'm looking at their scoring averages. You drop
[1:37:48] Speaker 4: Kawhi in there, it's not really going to mess up
[1:37:50] Speaker 4: too much.
[1:37:51] Speaker 2: It's going to fuck it up. Norman's not going to hit.
[1:37:54] Speaker 2: I need a few of those points. That's the guy
[1:37:56] Speaker 2: you need the most.
[1:37:57] Speaker 6: Thank you.
[1:37:59] Speaker 2: He's your guy.
[1:38:01] Speaker 1: When he comes back, he's going to regulate it to
[1:38:02] Speaker 1: the six men.
[1:38:03] Speaker 2: No, no, no.
[1:38:04] Speaker 6: No, no.
[1:38:04] Speaker 2: He's going to lead them in scorn.
[1:38:07] Speaker 6: He's there leading them in scorn right now.
[1:38:08] Speaker 2: So who moves? Won't be him. It's going to be me.
[1:38:12] Speaker 6: One of them, somebody.
[1:38:13] Speaker 1: I don't know who it's going to be, but I
[1:38:15] Speaker 1: know who it ain't going to be.
[1:38:16] Speaker 6: Norman, James, and Zubat are going to stay.
[1:38:19] Speaker 2: The rest of them can move. If you take Jones out,
[1:38:21] Speaker 2: who you got coming on the bench?
[1:38:23] Speaker 1: What do you mean? No firepower. That's what Norm is for.
[1:38:28] Speaker 1: You know what Norm is for. Norm is for firepower.
[1:38:31] Speaker 1: And he been coming off the bench.
[1:38:33] Speaker 2: That boy averaging 24.
[1:38:34] Speaker 1: He averaging 24 just like the DiVincenzo shit. I'm in
[1:38:37] Speaker 1: New York. I'm playing this position. I built this whole
[1:38:40] Speaker 1: momentum with y'all.
[1:38:41] Speaker 2: What you mean go back to the bench?
[1:38:43] Speaker 6: I don't think they gonna put him on the bench.
[1:38:44] Speaker 2: They can't.
[1:38:45] Speaker 6: Can't.
[1:38:46] Speaker 5: He's gonna be the two. That's James Powell Kawhi.
[1:38:51] Speaker 2: Who had the two right now? Green, Van Fleek, and Brooks.
[1:38:54] Speaker 1: Who had the two right now?
[1:38:56] Speaker 5: I don't know.
[1:38:56] Speaker 2: I don't watch the Clippers. I ain't watch the Clippers.
[1:38:58] Speaker 2: Small with that first four. I'm surprised. Derrick Jones Jr.
[1:39:01] Speaker 2: still at the four. I think so. And then Zubac
[1:39:03] Speaker 2: at the five.
[1:39:03] Speaker 1: Zubac at the five.
[1:39:04] Speaker 6: Amir.
[1:39:05] Speaker 2: That's a big five.
[1:39:06] Speaker 1: Amir Jant.
[1:39:07] Speaker 2: Amir Coffey. Amir Coffey. Yes, him.
[1:39:09] Speaker 6: He out. He going to sit down.
[1:39:11] Speaker 2: He starting?
[1:39:12] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:39:12] Speaker 2: He starting seven games this season.
[1:39:13] Speaker 6: No, Jones is starting.
[1:39:14] Speaker 2: That don't start. Chris Dunn has started 14 games this
[1:39:17] Speaker 2: season as well. This is Chris Dunn.
[1:39:20] Speaker 6: And you got a solid bench.
[1:39:21] Speaker 1: But you don't know, but that bench is not a firepower,
[1:39:24] Speaker 1: offensive firepower bench.
[1:39:25] Speaker 6: You need offensive firepower bench when you got.
[1:39:27] Speaker 2: An offensive firepower bench.
[1:39:29] Speaker 6: You just need them to be able to handle themselves.
[1:39:31] Speaker 1: But what I'm saying, Kawhi comes back, you put Norm,
[1:39:33] Speaker 1: you got to put Norm back over there.
[1:39:36] Speaker 2: He's your leading scorer.
[1:39:38] Speaker 1: You got James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Norman Powell.
[1:39:42] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:39:42] Speaker 1: And Norman Powell is your leading scorer.
[1:39:45] Speaker 2: So you got to keep him in there.
[1:39:46] Speaker 1: So do you.
[1:39:47] Speaker 2: Is he the star now? Yes, he's still going to get...
[1:39:50] Speaker 2: He's going to go from 25 shots... No, he's been
[1:39:52] Speaker 2: holding it down.
[1:39:53] Speaker 6: He's been doing his job.
[1:39:54] Speaker 1: So do we stop holding it down?
[1:39:56] Speaker 6: No, he's going to do his job.
[1:39:58] Speaker 2: His job is 24.
[1:39:59] Speaker 1: No, my job is 24 right now. You're telling me
[1:40:01] Speaker 1: not to do my job no more.
[1:40:03] Speaker 6: It's going to be like 18, 20.
[1:40:03] Speaker 1: So you're telling me to slow it down?
[1:40:05] Speaker 2: No. That's what happens with everybody. Tell me what y'all
[1:40:07] Speaker 2: telling me. I'm telling you. It's going to be a
[1:40:08] Speaker 2: natural progression because it's Kawhi's shots. So what y'all telling me,
[1:40:13] Speaker 2: I'm going to take less shots?
[1:40:14] Speaker 5: It's like playing, it's like KD playing with that.
[1:40:16] Speaker 4: He might still play with the second unit more than
[1:40:18] Speaker 4: James and Kawhi, but.
[1:40:19] Speaker 6: He's not going to go to the bench.
[1:40:21] Speaker 2: He's not going to the bench.
[1:40:22] Speaker 6: And he's going to be the guy with the second unit,
[1:40:24] Speaker 6: but he's still going to be a starter.
[1:40:25] Speaker 2: Kawhi's going to be the first sub probably, y'all. First sub, oh, out? Out, yeah.
[1:40:29] Speaker 2: You don't think so?
[1:40:30] Speaker 6: What?
[1:40:31] Speaker 2: Come on now. With an injury? Norman Powell at 24
[1:40:35] Speaker 2: a game. Right now, but back.
[1:40:36] Speaker 5: Then, you subbed Powell first, and then when you subbed Kawhi,
[1:40:40] Speaker 5: you bring Powell back in.
[1:40:42] Speaker 2: That's when he get on the shot.
[1:40:43] Speaker 1: You bring Powell off the bench so he got all
[1:40:45] Speaker 1: the 24 points availability that he can have with nobody
[1:40:49] Speaker 1: in his way at 24 a game. It's the only
[1:40:52] Speaker 1: way to do that because you got two other guys. Yes.
[1:40:54] Speaker 2: What do you mean? That's Mike.
[1:40:57] Speaker 1: I'm like, you cannot play him with them.
[1:40:59] Speaker 2: He gonna mess it up.
[1:41:00] Speaker 1: Why would anybody do that?
[1:41:01] Speaker 2: Yeah, when Kobe came back.
[1:41:02] Speaker 1: Yeah, you did that.
[1:41:03] Speaker 2: Why would you put a 25-point game score on the bench?
[1:41:04] Speaker 3: No way.
[1:41:05] Speaker 2: What do you mean? You gotta go to the bench now?
[1:41:07] Speaker 2: He just talk, he don't mean that shit. Rashard just talk,
[1:41:11] Speaker 2: he don't mean that shit.
[1:41:11] Speaker 6: Why would you put him on the bench?
[1:41:13] Speaker 1: Huh? No, he can go to the bench.
[1:41:15] Speaker 2: No!
[1:41:16] Speaker 1: Norman?
[1:41:17] Speaker 2: The team's leading scorer off the bench because he's the
[1:41:22] Speaker 2: third option. Because he's the third option. He's the third option.
[1:41:28] Speaker 2: Third option. I'll wait. He not the second option. When?
[1:41:32] Speaker 2: He not the first option. It happened. I will wait.
[1:41:35] Speaker 1: Look it up.
[1:41:36] Speaker 2: When what? When what? When that happened?
[1:41:38] Speaker 6: His scoring going to go down regardless.
[1:41:39] Speaker 2: When has the team's leading scorer?
[1:41:41] Speaker 6: Goes to the bench.
[1:41:42] Speaker 2: Lou Will. Shit.
[1:41:44] Speaker 6: But they started there.
[1:41:45] Speaker 2: What team did Lou Will lead and score? Which team?
[1:41:47] Speaker 1: A.I. scoring? The A.I.
[1:41:48] Speaker 2: Team? The team he was on the team with A.I.? No,
[1:41:50] Speaker 2: the one when A.I.
[1:41:51] Speaker 1: Left.
[1:41:52] Speaker 2: So Andrew Iguodala didn't lead the team in scoring? No.
[1:41:55] Speaker 2: Lou Will did. What average? So it was... A couple points,
[1:42:00] Speaker 2: a point, half a point, some shit like that. Was
[1:42:03] Speaker 2: it 25?
[1:42:04] Speaker 6: Was it that high?
[1:42:05] Speaker 2: I don't know. Regardless, it's happening.
[1:42:07] Speaker 1: It's happening. It's happening. Joe, what is it? I don't
[1:42:08] Speaker 1: know if it's correct. Talk to me.
[1:42:09] Speaker 2: 2011-2012 season, Williams led the 76ers in scoring with 14.9
[1:42:11] Speaker 2: points per game.
[1:42:19] Speaker 6: No way.
[1:42:19] Speaker 2: Is that true? I mean, I'm... Yeah, yeah, but... What?
[1:42:21] Speaker 1: 11, 12. 11, 12.
[1:42:21] Speaker 2: Wait. He led the team? Yeah. Lou Wilp.
[1:42:22] Speaker 1: 15.
[1:42:23] Speaker 2: There's no way. Trash.
[1:42:32] Speaker 1: So what y'all saying, I understand y'all trying to argue,
[1:42:34] Speaker 1: but your argument is saying that it never happened.
[1:42:38] Speaker 2: I did that. I did that. All them losses in
[1:42:40] Speaker 2: a row? I did that.
[1:42:41] Speaker 6: I did that.
[1:42:42] Speaker 3: Steve, that's the year they had all them losses in
[1:42:45] Speaker 3: a row?
[1:42:46] Speaker 2: They were 35 and 31. 35 and 31. Let me
[1:42:47] Speaker 2: double check. Let me confirm it. But either way it go,
[1:42:49] Speaker 2: that's a lockout year then. No, this is true. They
[1:42:53] Speaker 2: had holidays.
[1:42:53] Speaker 1: So Lou Williams.
[1:42:55] Speaker 3: Averaged 15, Drew Holiday averaged 14. Thaddeus Young averaged 13.
[1:42:59] Speaker 3: Iggy averaged 12.
[1:43:00] Speaker 2: Elton Brand. That was Elton Brand year. Yep. Dallenberg now.
[1:43:05] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:43:06] Speaker 2: Dallenberg now.
[1:43:07] Speaker 1: Yep. So what's happened before?
[1:43:09] Speaker 2: Stop that bullshit, man.
[1:43:12] Speaker 1: Stop what? You said it never happened. It clearly fucking happened.
[1:43:15] Speaker 1: Motherfucker averaged 15.
[1:43:17] Speaker 2: What that got to do with happening? What that got
[1:43:20] Speaker 2: to do? 24. Do you think he's going back to
[1:43:22] Speaker 2: the bench?
[1:43:23] Speaker 1: No.
[1:43:23] Speaker 2: 15 points off the bench. It could happen.
[1:43:27] Speaker 6: It could happen, but why would they do that?
[1:43:29] Speaker 1: Why would they do that? Because it's smart.
[1:43:30] Speaker 2: They don't have to. Because it's smart. Did Lou Williams start?
[1:43:33] Speaker 1: It's smart. It's smart.
[1:43:35] Speaker 2: And then they put him to the bench?
[1:43:37] Speaker 5: It's more shots. All his shots come in when Kawhi
[1:43:40] Speaker 5: come out.
[1:43:42] Speaker 3: Lou Williams did not start a game that season. So
[1:43:44] Speaker 3: he never was a starter. And they moved him to
[1:43:47] Speaker 3: the bench.
[1:43:49] Speaker 1: Do you see a world where the Clippers bring Kawhi
[1:43:52] Speaker 1: off the bench and he's there to start?
[1:43:53] Speaker 2: He's coming in right away. Hell no. You can't. Stop it.
[1:43:56] Speaker 1: Norm, hey, Norm.
[1:43:58] Speaker 2: Norm, go back to the corner. Going back to the corner, bro.
[1:44:02] Speaker 2: I want to extend that knee. I want to see
[1:44:04] Speaker 2: that knee versus second.
[1:44:05] Speaker 6: Honestly, yeah, if they ask Norm.
[1:44:07] Speaker 1: Coffee, man, done.
[1:44:12] Speaker 2: But it ain't enough time.
[1:44:13] Speaker 5: Been starved in his spot. And I see what you're
[1:44:16] Speaker 5: talking about.
[1:44:17] Speaker 6: Coffee, man, done.
[1:44:18] Speaker 5: Been in that situation where you get all the shots,
[1:44:20] Speaker 5: then the star come back. Yes, you don't want to
[1:44:23] Speaker 5: be out there with all them. You ain't going to
[1:44:25] Speaker 5: get the same shots you get. So when they come out,
[1:44:28] Speaker 5: no time is when you cook. But was you leading
[1:44:32] Speaker 5: the team in scoring? Yes, and then Kobe came back,
[1:44:35] Speaker 5: and I went back to where my shit was. Went
[1:44:38] Speaker 5: back to the bench. And I was happy because that
[1:44:40] Speaker 5: motherfucker didn't pass. So when he got out, I caught
[1:44:44] Speaker 5: in and I did my thing.
[1:44:45] Speaker 2: Damn, that sounds so on point. Does it? It does.
[1:44:50] Speaker 1: It sounds exactly how Norm Powell going to have to
[1:44:52] Speaker 1: figure out, man, I'm going to have to get the
[1:44:55] Speaker 1: best of my shit coming off because Kawhi and James
[1:44:58] Speaker 1: is going to demand the ball and I'm not going to.
[1:45:00] Speaker 5: Be getting that bitch the way I was.
[1:45:04] Speaker 6: Or y'all overachieving at this time?
[1:45:07] Speaker 2: James get the chill. They sucked. Hell no, they sucked
[1:45:10] Speaker 2: as a team. When he let them in scoring, they
[1:45:13] Speaker 2: fucking sucked. No matter what it was.
[1:45:14] Speaker 6: That does matter.
[1:45:15] Speaker 2: They fucking were terrible.
[1:45:16] Speaker 6: Because if y'all was winning, they would have been a
[1:45:18] Speaker 6: little different.
[1:45:19] Speaker 1: So now you're saying we got to move the goalposts
[1:45:20] Speaker 1: because now we've proved twice that it has happened.
[1:45:23] Speaker 2: And you said it's never happened.
[1:45:25] Speaker 1: Why can't we just focus on one situation?
[1:45:28] Speaker 6: Why can't we just stay focused?
[1:45:30] Speaker 1: We are focused, y'all. He said something, he just proved
[1:45:32] Speaker 1: it right.
[1:45:33] Speaker 2: He just proved it twice. The man didn't start one game.
[1:45:36] Speaker 3: It's time to crash out.
[1:45:37] Speaker 2: Let's do it. So Lou didn't start one game. So
[1:45:39] Speaker 2: he wasn't leading the team in scoring and went to
[1:45:41] Speaker 2: the bench.
[1:45:41] Speaker 1: At no point.
[1:45:43] Speaker 2: Hey, man.
[1:45:45] Speaker 1: How much Jamal average?
[1:45:46] Speaker 3: Swag, I wouldn't let Kenyon talk to me like that
[1:45:48] Speaker 3: if I were you.
[1:45:50] Speaker 6: It's your arena.
[1:45:52] Speaker 2: He can talk to me like that. I'm just the host.
[1:45:54] Speaker 1: Jamal with the Hawks.
[1:45:56] Speaker 2: Or with the Clippers. Or with the Clippers.
[1:45:59] Speaker 1: It happens.
[1:46:01] Speaker 5: Your star player, the person that lead the scoring could
[1:46:04] Speaker 5: come off the bench.
[1:46:07] Speaker 2: Probably. We look at it.
[1:46:08] Speaker 5: I know Joe Johnson did, but I know he was second.
[1:46:13] Speaker 2: So second counts. Fuck that ass. So now second counts.
[1:46:18] Speaker 1: He didn't, but he was second.
[1:46:22] Speaker 5: Obviously, Jamar would have fucking played more minutes.
[1:46:25] Speaker 1: But I'm saying it happens.
[1:46:28] Speaker 5: I averaged goddamn 17, 18. Kobe came back. Shit, I
[1:46:31] Speaker 5: was sitting in the corner. I come in when I
[1:46:34] Speaker 5: want to do my thing.
[1:46:36] Speaker 2: I chose to do my thing. So let me ask
[1:46:39] Speaker 2: you a question.
[1:46:41] Speaker 5: You're going to play with him, but it's more comfortable.
[1:46:44] Speaker 2: So was it ever in any doubt in your mind
[1:46:49] Speaker 2: or question that when this man came back that you
[1:46:52] Speaker 2: was going to get the same amount of looks?
[1:46:54] Speaker 1: I know.
[1:46:54] Speaker 2: You know it, though. He knows it.
[1:46:56] Speaker 5: When Kawhi come back, he ain't going to get the
[1:46:58] Speaker 5: same amount of looks.
[1:46:59] Speaker 2: So therefore?
[1:47:01] Speaker 5: He'll get the same amount of looks when Kawhi not
[1:47:03] Speaker 5: out there. So when will Kawhi not be out there?
[1:47:06] Speaker 2: Can't be when you start next to him.
[1:47:08] Speaker 1: Why not?
[1:47:08] Speaker 2: Why not then? King B when you started next to him.
[1:47:11] Speaker 1: Why not? Because my shots is now your shots. Thank you.
[1:47:17] Speaker 1: Let me get that back.
[1:47:20] Speaker 2: Let me get that back. Let me get that back.
[1:47:24] Speaker 2: Thank you. Let me get that back. Yeah, I know
[1:47:27] Speaker 2: you enjoyed that. Hey, you had fun, right?
[1:47:30] Speaker 1: You're sitting in my chair.
[1:47:31] Speaker 2: There's enough shots out there. James shooting 16. They shooting 16. Yeah,
[1:47:34] Speaker 2: both shooting 16. There's enough shots out there.
[1:47:36] Speaker 6: There's more than enough shots.
[1:47:37] Speaker 5: Why are they only taking Norm's shots?
[1:47:40] Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah, there's enough shots out there for Norm still.
[1:47:43] Speaker 2: He's got to be efficient in his approach.
[1:47:45] Speaker 1: That's all.
[1:47:45] Speaker 2: You just ain't go.
[1:47:47] Speaker 6: Get them 28. 49%.
[1:47:47] Speaker 1: Right?
[1:47:51] Speaker 2: I'm not signing up.
[1:47:52] Speaker 1: I'm Norm. I'm not signing up for that.
[1:47:53] Speaker 6: He shoot an 8-3 in the game.
[1:47:55] Speaker 1: Me being PG now, I'm taking PG spot. Now I
[1:47:58] Speaker 1: got to look like inconsistent like PG was. I'd rather
[1:48:02] Speaker 1: be me when PG was here coming off the bench.
[1:48:07] Speaker 6: 50% from three, damn near.
[1:48:09] Speaker 2: And the field.
[1:48:10] Speaker 6: You're not taking him off.
[1:48:12] Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with anything but him being
[1:48:13] Speaker 1: a good player and being prepared.
[1:48:16] Speaker 2: He can do that off the bench, too.
[1:48:17] Speaker 1: Nah.
[1:48:18] Speaker 2: You can be prepared all the time. That's what they're
[1:48:20] Speaker 2: going to sell it to him? That's what Tyler's going
[1:48:23] Speaker 2: to tell him? They say that when they ain't got
[1:48:24] Speaker 2: nothing else to say.
[1:48:26] Speaker 6: Nah.
[1:48:27] Speaker 2: He was used to coming off the bench.
[1:48:29] Speaker 1: Who?
[1:48:29] Speaker 2: He was used to coming off the bench. That was
[1:48:31] Speaker 2: his role. He's a corner boy. Not anymore.
[1:48:34] Speaker 1: Yesterday's prize, not today's prize. Devin Chinzo had to go
[1:48:40] Speaker 1: back to the bench.
[1:48:42] Speaker 2: My point exactly.
[1:48:43] Speaker 1: Was he leading the team in scoring? Oh, gosh. Huh?
[1:48:47] Speaker 2: Was he leading the team in scoring? Second. So second
[1:48:51] Speaker 2: counts now. Yes.
[1:48:52] Speaker 1: Second does count. Once again. Second does count. At this point,
[1:48:56] Speaker 1: at this point, with this point, it does. But Devin Chinzo,
[1:49:00] Speaker 1: they brought their lunch to the game. 19 a game,
[1:49:04] Speaker 1: Devin Chinzo was starting, and then he had to go
[1:49:07] Speaker 1: back to the bench.
[1:49:08] Speaker 2: They couldn't bring their own lunches. They ate lunch at 10.30,
[1:49:10] Speaker 2: both of them. Oh, we did what?
[1:49:12] Speaker 1: Oh, that's what we're doing?
[1:49:13] Speaker 2: We're doing those short bus jokes? Y'all ate lunch at 10.
[1:49:16] Speaker 1: Oh, come on, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't
[1:49:18] Speaker 1: do that.
[1:49:19] Speaker 2: Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't
[1:49:22] Speaker 2: do that.
[1:49:22] Speaker 1: Don't do the insulting my intelligence.
[1:49:24] Speaker 2: Don't do that. I wouldn't do.
[1:49:28] Speaker 1: The insulting my intelligence shit. That's not cool. Not cool.
[1:49:31] Speaker 1: I don't do no little buses.
[1:49:33] Speaker 2: I make the buses. I make buses.
[1:49:36] Speaker 1: I'm an engineer. I'm far from anybody that needs some
[1:49:42] Speaker 1: help reading and writing. He was second.
[1:49:44] Speaker 2: I'm far. Swaggy, this is your arena. Rain Man was
[1:49:47] Speaker 2: a genius. Yeah, he was.
[1:49:49] Speaker 1: I ain't Rain Man. I make it rain.
[1:49:51] Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Rain Man!
[1:49:57] Speaker 1: Yeah! Yeah!
[1:50:02] Speaker 6: Yeah!
[1:50:03] Speaker 2: Let's go! Fuck you mean?
[1:50:07] Speaker 1: You got to put my hand up no more.
[1:50:13] Speaker 2: Paolo, with the preemptive strike of respect. Hold on, hold on.
[1:50:17] Speaker 5: I knew it was coming.
[1:50:20] Speaker 1: Paolo, one day when I'll smart you, you will give
[1:50:26] Speaker 1: me the shotgun.
[1:50:27] Speaker 2: These two are fools. Big one, big two. So I'll
[1:50:32] Speaker 2: bring you my next question. Catch up. Catch up, Lex.
[1:50:35] Speaker 1: Joel Embiid, keep on insolent.
[1:50:37] Speaker 2: You know I got the jokes back now.
[1:50:40] Speaker 1: Come on.
[1:50:41] Speaker 2: Don't do it.
[1:50:42] Speaker 1: You got one more.
[1:50:44] Speaker 2: You got one more. I hear a little whisper. Big
[1:50:47] Speaker 2: one and big two. My motherfucking ears big. I heard it.
[1:50:50] Speaker 1: Turn it to the Grinch real quick.
[1:50:52] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[1:50:54] Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that in a second. I
[1:50:55] Speaker 2: almost wore my outfit today.
[1:50:56] Speaker 1: I almost would.
[1:50:56] Speaker 3: We're going to talk about that in a second as well.
[1:50:59] Speaker 3: Jordan LeBee played five games this season. Kawhi Leonard's played
[1:51:01] Speaker 3: zero games this season.
[1:51:04] Speaker 2: Do a little hypothetical.
[1:51:04] Speaker 3: Normally I like to do hypotheticals on Gil's Arena, but
[1:51:07] Speaker 3: this is Swaggy's Arena presented by Underdog Woo Woo. Who
[1:51:09] Speaker 3: will play more games this season, Kawhi or Embiid?
[1:51:13] Speaker 2: Oh, shit. Damn, that's sick, bro. That's sick. We are
[1:51:18] Speaker 2: diabolical here and there.
[1:51:19] Speaker 4: I'm going Kawhi because Embiid not doing back-to-backs, so.
[1:51:23] Speaker 2: Shit, Kawhi? Why not even on the court? I'm still
[1:51:27] Speaker 2: picking Kawhi. I'll go with Embiid. How many games did
[1:51:32] Speaker 2: Embiid play so far? Five games.
[1:51:34] Speaker 1: That's it?
[1:51:34] Speaker 6: He only got to play ten.
[1:51:36] Speaker 2: No, I could have sworn Embiid played more games.
[1:51:38] Speaker 1: So did I.
[1:51:39] Speaker 5: The way we've been talking about it.
[1:51:41] Speaker 2: They were powerful games, though.
[1:51:43] Speaker 6: They were. He coming.
[1:51:44] Speaker 2: Five powerful games. I'm going with Embiid. His last two.
[1:51:47] Speaker 3: Back-to-back 30 pieces in his last two games. November 20th,
[1:51:51] Speaker 3: then he missed a bunch of games, came back December 8th.
[1:51:53] Speaker 2: But nonetheless. Back-to-back 30 balls.
[1:51:56] Speaker 6: 230 balls a month.
[1:51:57] Speaker 2: He got 34 years old. 230 balls a month.
[1:51:59] Speaker 6: Seems about what he's doing. I'm still going Kawhi.
[1:52:02] Speaker 2: Lexi, you're going Kawhi, can you? Who do you think
[1:52:03] Speaker 2: is playing more games this season? The guy that's playing.
[1:52:05] Speaker 1: That is, Nance.
[1:52:06] Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to. I'm going with the guy that's
[1:52:08] Speaker 2: playing right now.
[1:52:09] Speaker 3: Okay, you're saying B with the five-game head start?
[1:52:11] Speaker 2: He's playing. We don't know when Kawhi's coming back. Y'all
[1:52:13] Speaker 2: going with that two-week stick. Two-week, right? That's a set-up.
[1:52:17] Speaker 2: That's a fucking set-up. I'm falling for it. That's true.
[1:52:20] Speaker 2: Barring any setback. You falling for it?
[1:52:22] Speaker 6: Yep, I am.
[1:52:23] Speaker 1: Barring any setback. Underdog, can we get the higher-lower going, please?
[1:52:26] Speaker 1: Come on.
[1:52:26] Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be sick. I'm going with the guy
[1:52:28] Speaker 2: that's actually.
[1:52:30] Speaker 2: You got your basketball.
[1:52:32] Speaker 1: Shoes on and putting your basketball game uniform on.
[1:52:34] Speaker 6: Shot.
[1:52:35] Speaker 2: Who will play more games this season? Kawhi Leonard or
[1:52:37] Speaker 2: Joel Embiid? Joel Embiid. You got Embiid? Swaggy, this is
[1:52:40] Speaker 2: your arena. I'm going to go Embiid.
[1:52:42] Speaker 3: Okay, so we got Embiid on this side. Embiid with Kenya.
[1:52:46] Speaker 1: Lexi?
[1:52:47] Speaker 2: Kawhi. Okay. We will see it. Perhaps another Nobu dinner
[1:52:51] Speaker 2: will be added.
[1:52:52] Speaker 4: You know why I want Kawhi to play?
[1:52:54] Speaker 6: So I can see what happens with Norman Powell. That's
[1:52:56] Speaker 6: the only reason.
[1:52:57] Speaker 2: Oh, you're going to see. The only reason why.
[1:52:59] Speaker 1: For sure.
[1:52:59] Speaker 2: You're going to see. Ty Lue going to make it.
[1:53:02] Speaker 2: It's a clear example.
[1:53:04] Speaker 1: Hey, Norm is back to the trenches. So we asked
[1:53:07] Speaker 1: the chat.
[1:53:08] Speaker 2: That's the coldest feeling.
[1:53:09] Speaker 3: We asked the chat who will play more games this season. 64%
[1:53:12] Speaker 3: said Embiid. 64% are trusting the process over the claw.
[1:53:16] Speaker 1: Damn.
[1:53:18] Speaker 3: All right, so as I previously mentioned, we got our
[1:53:21] Speaker 3: holiday sweaters.
[1:53:24] Speaker 2: Back in the mix. I heard everything you said.
[1:53:27] Speaker 1: You was pissed. He was pissed.
[1:53:28] Speaker 2: Did you design it?
[1:53:29] Speaker 1: I stole his sweater. He said, I'm the Grinch, bro.
[1:53:33] Speaker 1: I don't know at all.
[1:53:35] Speaker 2: Everybody, I'm the Grinch.
[1:53:37] Speaker 6: I don't care.
[1:53:38] Speaker 2: Let's take a look at our collection. He said, buy

[1:57:40] Speaker 2: See?
[1:57:41] Speaker 1: Now I got to say Gil.
[1:57:41] Speaker 2: Now I got to say Gil last. You clowned me recently.
[1:57:44] Speaker 1: It was hurtful.
[1:57:45] Speaker 2: But we worked our way through it. That shit was funny.
[1:57:47] Speaker 1: Harry crying in the locker room. I had me crying
[1:57:50] Speaker 1: in the locker room. Oh, that shit was holistic. The
[1:57:55] Speaker 1: chant was good.
[1:57:56] Speaker 2: It was good.
[1:57:58] Speaker 1: I keep it down.
[1:58:01] Speaker 2: I deserved it. I deserved it. I took it honorably.
[1:58:03] Speaker 2: Appreciate the chat. Good man. Appreciate the chat. Everybody, if
[1:58:07] Speaker 2: you want to get a Christmas sweater, go to gillsarenamerch.com.
[1:58:10] Speaker 2: Buy them now. Be available through the holiday season. Wins again.
[1:58:18] Speaker 6: We told you you were going to win.
[1:58:19] Speaker 1: Appreciate you.
[1:58:21] Speaker 6: We literally told you.
[1:58:22] Speaker 2: That was a nice one. It was a nice flex.
[1:58:24] Speaker 2: It was a little shaky.
[1:58:29] Speaker 3: So speaking of the holidays, while the holidays often represent
[1:58:32] Speaker 3: the season of giving, for some folks they represent the
[1:58:35] Speaker 3: season of taking. So after the NFL issued a memo
[1:58:38] Speaker 3: to all 32 teams and security directors about a recent
[1:58:41] Speaker 3: string of burglaries to players' homes, the NBA recently did.
[1:58:44] Speaker 2: The same as well.
[1:58:45] Speaker 3: So on the NBA side, players such as Mike Conley Jr.
[1:58:47] Speaker 3: and Bobby Portis have been targeted in Robert E. And
[1:58:50] Speaker 3: on the NFL side, reigning Super Bowl champs Patrick Mahomes
[1:58:53] Speaker 3: and Travis Kelsey were targeted as well. And just this week,
[1:58:57] Speaker 3: while Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was playing a Monday night
[1:58:59] Speaker 3: football game against the Cowboys in Texas, his house was
[1:59:02] Speaker 3: the target of a break-in, despite a local police officer
[1:59:05] Speaker 3: being on detail at the house that night. So Burrow
[1:59:08] Speaker 3: spoke on the incident briefly yesterday.
[1:59:11] Speaker 9: So obviously, everybody has heard what has happened. I feel
[1:59:15] Speaker 9: like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one.
[1:59:21] Speaker 9: And way more is already out there than... I would
[1:59:24] Speaker 9: want out there and that I care to share. So
[1:59:25] Speaker 9: that's all I got to say about that. You know,
[1:59:28] Speaker 9: we live a public life and, you know, one of
[1:59:31] Speaker 9: my least favorite parts of that is the lack of privacy.
[1:59:35] Speaker 9: And that has been difficult for me to deal with
[1:59:39] Speaker 9: my entire career. Still learning, but I understand it's the
[1:59:45] Speaker 9: life that we choose doesn't make it any easier to
[1:59:48] Speaker 9: deal with.
[1:59:50] Speaker 3: Had Burrow been at his house, he would have been
[1:59:52] Speaker 3: able to foil the wet bandits, similar to Kevin McAllister
[1:59:55] Speaker 3: did in Home Alone, but was, again, in Texas.
[1:59:59] Speaker 2: The wet bandits. The wet bandits. Would have got this worked.
[2:00:03] Speaker 3: So the trend of targeting athletes is pretty clear here.
[2:00:06] Speaker 3: League memos have urged players to beef up security systems
[2:00:09] Speaker 3: in their homes and store valuables.
[2:00:11] Speaker 2: In a secure safe.
[2:00:12] Speaker 3: Investigators are saying that a South American crime ring is
[2:00:15] Speaker 3: responsible for these coordinated burglaries. The common thing is that
[2:00:18] Speaker 3: all of these occur while the players... We're not at home.
[2:00:21] Speaker 3: So I just want to know, what's y'all reaction to
[2:00:22] Speaker 3: the uptick in burglaries in athlete homes?
[2:00:26] Speaker 2: That's scary. Shit ain't new. Yeah, that shit happened to me.
[2:00:31] Speaker 1: Happened to me?
[2:00:31] Speaker 2: You got got?
[2:00:31] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:00:32] Speaker 6: I was about to say, I was like, this is
[2:00:34] Speaker 6: not going to be the first time.
[2:00:35] Speaker 1: Fucking house got broke into my working year. If you
[2:00:37] Speaker 1: don't know when you're getting lined up.
[2:00:39] Speaker 2: Right, this shit is.
[2:00:39] Speaker 1: Somebody lining you up, trying to.
[2:00:42] Speaker 2: This shit has been going on.
[2:00:43] Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
[2:00:44] Speaker 2: This is where you go there. This is where you
[2:00:46] Speaker 2: go here.
[2:00:47] Speaker 1: You got the cleaning lady who know her cousin coming around.
[2:00:50] Speaker 2: Doesn't seem too difficult to coordinate. They know where you are.
[2:00:52] Speaker 2: Go to NFL.com or NBA.com. Click on the schedules tab. Oh,
[2:00:56] Speaker 2: he not going to be here this year. It happened
[2:00:57] Speaker 2: to one of my teammates in Denver. They lived in
[2:00:59] Speaker 2: an apartment building.
[2:01:00] Speaker 3: Damn.
[2:01:02] Speaker 2: Was it Roman?
[2:01:02] Speaker 1: Secure, like, dude working.
[2:01:04] Speaker 2: At the front desk building. I mean, you got to
[2:01:06] Speaker 2: come in. You got to come in and talk to.
[2:01:08] Speaker 1: Somebody and get up there and they still got.
[2:01:10] Speaker 2: Man, heavy inside, dog.
[2:01:11] Speaker 1: Listen, man, dog.
[2:01:13] Speaker 2: These are criminals. Where there's a will, there's a way. Facts.
[2:01:16] Speaker 6: Right?
[2:01:16] Speaker 2: Whether it's the South, whoever it is, whether it's them targeting,
[2:01:20] Speaker 2: whether it's Junebug and Jeremy, whoever the fuck it is. Like,
[2:01:24] Speaker 2: these dudes are criminals, man, and they take time. Dude
[2:01:28] Speaker 2: broke my house in Dallas, right? I was on.
[2:01:32] Speaker 2: He used a device that was tracking movements. When people
[2:01:36] Speaker 2: was coming and going out of my, not just my house,
[2:01:39] Speaker 2: other people's houses as well. So dude, these dudes are criminals, man.
[2:01:42] Speaker 5: That tracking device, that's crazy.
[2:01:44] Speaker 2: Right, he put it on something that you won't notice
[2:01:47] Speaker 2: to look at. Knock out your signal and- All kind
[2:01:50] Speaker 2: of shit going on. Knock out the power. He eventually
[2:01:53] Speaker 2: got caught because some dude found the device. But it's
[2:01:56] Speaker 2: been going on, man. It's unfortunate that, like dude said,
[2:01:59] Speaker 2: when you live a public life, nowadays it's more media
[2:02:03] Speaker 2: outlets and people, everybody got a police scanner and... That's true, yeah.
[2:02:08] Speaker 2: Somebody go home and tell this person that everybody know
[2:02:11] Speaker 2: and they got somebody that work for them.
[2:02:12] Speaker 1: Man, it's... The world is harsh, man. Safety is one thing,
[2:02:17] Speaker 1: but preparation is another. You can't be arrogant enough to
[2:02:21] Speaker 1: think that you're just above being a regular person that
[2:02:25] Speaker 1: get robbed like anybody else.
[2:02:27] Speaker 2: We got to prepare.
[2:02:28] Speaker 1: Better just because we athletes don't mean they're not going
[2:02:30] Speaker 1: to come to this house.
[2:02:32] Speaker 2: Oh, it's Joe Burrow house. We not going to go.
[2:02:34] Speaker 1: It's Joe Burrow house. We going in there. We definitely
[2:02:37] Speaker 1: going in there. But what kind of, what kind of,
[2:02:40] Speaker 1: what kind of, what's in there? Like you got to,
[2:02:43] Speaker 1: if I'm got this type of money, bro, you want
[2:02:45] Speaker 1: to kind of thief you got to be? You know
[2:02:48] Speaker 1: what kind of thief you got to be with the
[2:02:50] Speaker 1: type of money.
[2:02:50] Speaker 6: These dudes is getting?
[2:02:51] Speaker 1: You got to be in my six mission impossible.
[2:02:55] Speaker 2: Oh yeah. You got to take precautionary measures. Like my house,
[2:02:58] Speaker 2: like I said, the dude broke in, he, took stuff
[2:03:01] Speaker 2: that didn't matter, right? He didn't get nothing of value,
[2:03:04] Speaker 2: like everything that he would have had to have a chainsaw.
[2:03:08] Speaker 1: Right. Damn.
[2:03:09] Speaker 2: To get the real shit. To get, it's behind a
[2:03:12] Speaker 2: door that had a combination lock on it. It had
[2:03:14] Speaker 2: to be in the seat of closet that's in this closet.
[2:03:16] Speaker 2: Where at behind the door? It's three locks. Where at
[2:03:19] Speaker 2: behind the door?
[2:03:20] Speaker 6: Three locks.
[2:03:22] Speaker 2: Trust me.
[2:03:25] Speaker 1: Three.
[2:03:25] Speaker 2: I sold out. Three. Trust me. Sold out. Three doors.
[2:03:29] Speaker 2: He probably went to the door, he probably couldn't get in.
[2:03:33] Speaker 2: He would have kicked that door in, probably. He would
[2:03:36] Speaker 2: have had another two doors. Damn, dude. I didn't think
[2:03:39] Speaker 2: about that. It's shit like that. If you got shit
[2:03:42] Speaker 2: of value, you got to take those measures just in case.
[2:03:45] Speaker 5: I came back home after the game. All my shit
[2:03:48] Speaker 5: was just on the floor. I'm like, damn, I left
[2:03:49] Speaker 5: the house. Fucked up, didn't I?
[2:03:52] Speaker 2: I'm going to shit. I see clothes and shoes. I
[2:03:55] Speaker 2: was like, damn, I left the house like that?
[2:03:57] Speaker 5: The coldest thing, I had some work with me, too.
[2:03:59] Speaker 1: I'm like, damn.
[2:04:00] Speaker 2: You know, you coming in, you thinking the house going
[2:04:02] Speaker 2: to be a shit. Damn, man.
[2:04:04] Speaker 1: That's how you live it?
[2:04:06] Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, shit.
[2:04:09] Speaker 6: Come on, Lord.
[2:04:10] Speaker 1: Don't get no buns tonight.
[2:04:11] Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I know how to do this, man.
[2:04:14] Speaker 2: I know how to do this.
[2:04:15] Speaker 3: Waggie, did you ever suspect that Gil may have had
[2:04:17] Speaker 3: something to do with it?
[2:04:18] Speaker 5: Probably was, because he did break into my house a
[2:04:20] Speaker 5: couple times.
[2:04:20] Speaker 2: Gil broke into your house? It was his house he
[2:04:22] Speaker 2: let me use. No, but it was yours. It was yours.
[2:04:26] Speaker 2: You were squatting.
[2:04:27] Speaker 1: You were squatting.
[2:04:27] Speaker 3: You have legal protection in that regard. You can't just
[2:04:31] Speaker 3: roll into the spot without permission.
[2:04:34] Speaker 2: It was my house. He broke into my house and
[2:04:35] Speaker 2: let me break up into my own shit. You just
[2:04:37] Speaker 2: read it.
[2:04:38] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:04:39] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just different, bro.
[2:04:41] Speaker 5: I got for like a chain and a watch and stuff.
[2:04:44] Speaker 5: Because I didn't have a safe back then.
[2:04:47] Speaker 2: I was young, just being naive. But yeah, it was crazy.
[2:04:53] Speaker 3: So, K, what advice would you give to current athletes?
[2:04:56] Speaker 3: You know, they send their memorial.
[2:04:57] Speaker 2: Storage or stuff. You're talking about doors, doors. You know,
[2:04:59] Speaker 2: you got multiple. Take precautions, man. Get you a safe.
[2:05:02] Speaker 2: Set your alarm for damn sure before you leave the house. Like,
[2:05:06] Speaker 2: even if you're in the bitch at night, like, set
[2:05:08] Speaker 2: your alarm, man. Lock them windows. Leave the house. That's
[2:05:10] Speaker 2: my fear now. Have all kinds of.
[2:05:12] Speaker 3: I remember DeMar telling a story, his spot in, I think,
[2:05:15] Speaker 3: Hidden Hills.
[2:05:16] Speaker 2: He did, yeah. Yeah, but... He shot at them.
[2:05:19] Speaker 1: Like, the kids were in the house. He was in
[2:05:20] Speaker 1: one part of the house. The kids were in the crib.
[2:05:22] Speaker 3: I think he's neighbors with D-Way, so they rolled over
[2:05:24] Speaker 3: to D-Way's spot to look at the surveillance footage to
[2:05:26] Speaker 3: try and figure out.
[2:05:27] Speaker 2: But I think that's the concerning thing. Yeah, the kids
[2:05:30] Speaker 2: being there. That's my fear, right? Oh, yeah, no. I mean,
[2:05:34] Speaker 2: it happens to regular people. I know one of my partners,
[2:05:36] Speaker 2: our kids go to school together. They hit his house.
[2:05:39] Speaker 2: He's a few doors down at a party. His nephew
[2:05:43] Speaker 2: was in the room sleeping. He wasn't even sleeping. The
[2:05:45] Speaker 2: room upstairs, dude, was in cocaine.
[2:05:48] Speaker 1: Man, listen.
[2:05:49] Speaker 2: Could have went crazy. Yeah, that's my feeling. He run
[2:05:52] Speaker 2: downstairs randomly. He's a collector. My partner's a collector. He
[2:05:56] Speaker 2: got some shit shit, right? He showed me. He hit
[2:06:00] Speaker 2: the garage, and the dudes heard the garage door. and
[2:06:03] Speaker 2: he showed me what he grabbed, I was like, oh yeah.
[2:06:06] Speaker 2: It was finna be, dude jumped from the top second floor,
[2:06:09] Speaker 2: you saw the dude limp out on the security, cause
[2:06:10] Speaker 2: he got security cameras in the house as well. So
[2:06:12] Speaker 2: I saw all the footage. He jumped down, he snapped
[2:06:16] Speaker 2: his shit, he ran out the, yeah, it was gonna
[2:06:18] Speaker 2: get bad for him had they been like 30 seconds.
[2:06:23] Speaker 2: But it's happened to regular people. It happens to regular people.
[2:06:27] Speaker 2: Just take precaution. Especially if you're an athlete and you
[2:06:30] Speaker 2: got jewelry and money in the house. Like, you just, yeah,
[2:06:34] Speaker 2: you've been targeted, trust me.
[2:06:35] Speaker 1: I'm having all kind of lasers and landmines.
[2:06:39] Speaker 2: Man, you better not.
[2:06:40] Speaker 1: Come over here stepping the wrong way.
[2:06:42] Speaker 2: You might die today.
[2:06:44] Speaker 1: Boy, you don't come over here fucking with me.
[2:06:47] Speaker 3: So, Nick, obviously you have your NBA championship ring. I
[2:06:49] Speaker 3: just want to make sure you keep that safe because
[2:06:51] Speaker 3: there may be people who have not experienced.
[2:06:53] Speaker 5: One thing I did learn, the insurance money is good
[2:06:55] Speaker 5: from it, so shit.
[2:06:58] Speaker 2: Rob me?
[2:06:59] Speaker 1: Okay.
[2:06:59] Speaker 2: Rob me?
[2:07:00] Speaker 1: Yeah. So you want the niggas to rob you?
[2:07:03] Speaker 2: No, I'm not fucking with that. I'm trying to see
[2:07:05] Speaker 2: what that feel like.
[2:07:07] Speaker 1: I can set.
[2:07:07] Speaker 2: Something up for you.
[2:07:08] Speaker 1: We can make something up. I've been planning that myself.
[2:07:12] Speaker 1: Made it look good.
[2:07:13] Speaker 2: Horrible bosses. Horrible bosses. Let's plan it. We get the money.
[2:07:17] Speaker 3: All right, so let's talk about something, Kenyon, that you
[2:07:20] Speaker 3: brought up earlier in the show on your phone that
[2:07:22] Speaker 3: the chat at home didn't know. But the situation going
[2:07:24] Speaker 3: with Jimmy Butler, there was a report that the Heat
[2:07:27] Speaker 3: may be interested in making a move for Butler, who's
[2:07:29] Speaker 3: in the last year of his deal, has a player
[2:07:30] Speaker 3: option this summer. Obviously, Jimmy Butler was looking for a
[2:07:33] Speaker 3: long-term extension this past summer. Pat Riley said the nay-no
[2:07:36] Speaker 3: to that has yet to give him one this year.
[2:07:38] Speaker 3: But after Shams posted a report saying that the Phoenix
[2:07:41] Speaker 3: Suns are another team that Jimmy Butler's agent, Bernie Lee,
[2:07:44] Speaker 3: has indicated in league circles... that the six-time All-Star is
[2:07:47] Speaker 3: open to as a destination while Miami listens to trade offers.
[2:07:51] Speaker 3: Joining Dallas, Houston, and Golden State, Butler's agent Bernie Lee
[2:07:55] Speaker 3: took exception to being named in the report and responded
[2:07:58] Speaker 3: as such. I believe we have the... full screen of it.
[2:08:01] Speaker 3: He said, Shams, this is your opportunity to say my bad.
[2:08:04] Speaker 3: I let ChatGPT write my tweets, and it went old
[2:08:07] Speaker 3: school Peter Vesey. Shams, Peter was a writer in the 90s.
[2:08:11] Speaker 3: Be a trendsetter. Invent the new I was hacked.
[2:08:15] Speaker 2: Carry on. All thank you. It says, Shams, Peter was
[2:08:19] Speaker 2: a writer like he didn't know who he was. The
[2:08:24] Speaker 2: irony in this tweet.
[2:08:25] Speaker 3: And then this morning, our first take, Shams responded, I 1,000%
[2:08:29] Speaker 3: stand by reporting. It's fully vetted. And as a professional,
[2:08:33] Speaker 3: that's what I do. That's what I get paid to do.
[2:08:35] Speaker 3: Report truthfully and accurately. That's what this is.
[2:08:39] Speaker 1: Period.
[2:08:40] Speaker 2: Oh, put period on it. Period.
[2:08:44] Speaker 3: Period.
[2:08:45] Speaker 6: No, that's right. That's how he said it.
[2:08:49] Speaker 2: Period. Bernie used to be my agent.
[2:08:53] Speaker 6: Period.
[2:08:54] Speaker 2: And Bernie also said the following, too.
[2:08:56] Speaker 1: Yeah, ironically. Bernie, that was Bernie's... I know what the
[2:09:00] Speaker 1: truth is behind what Bernie could.
[2:09:03] Speaker 3: So Bernie also said, prior to saying, and that's what
[2:09:06] Speaker 3: he said, I don't know what I'm going to do
[2:09:07] Speaker 3: because I'm a middle-aged dad, but just know it would
[2:09:10] Speaker 3: indicate severe dislike.
[2:09:12] Speaker 2: World, all this is fabricated.
[2:09:14] Speaker 3: I have never and honestly wouldn't help me or the
[2:09:17] Speaker 3: position I represent to do anything that's been reported by
[2:09:20] Speaker 3: said journalists. Y'all told Sean they gave you a pass.
[2:09:26] Speaker 3: Stop putting my name on your complete and utter made-up
[2:09:29] Speaker 3: bullshit because you know you normally aren't worth my time
[2:09:31] Speaker 3: to acknowledge.
[2:09:33] Speaker 2: Damn.
[2:09:33] Speaker 1: You guys be making that shit up, man. Bernie ain't
[2:09:35] Speaker 1: say none of that shit. Coming from Bernie's official... It
[2:09:38] Speaker 1: can't be the same Bernie I know.
[2:09:40] Speaker 2: Bernard Lee....
[2:09:42] Speaker 1: Bernie's agent, the agent Bernie? Bernard Lee. Agent Bernie? Yeah.
[2:09:47] Speaker 2: Weekend at Bernie's. Oh, man, that's crazy.
[2:09:52] Speaker 3: So what do you make of this beef between Butler's
[2:09:53] Speaker 3: agent and Sean's? Sean's an honorable man, hardworking, good dude.
[2:10:00] Speaker 2: Agents don't be blowing their secrets out, I know that. See,
[2:10:02] Speaker 2: that's what happens when you don't state your source. No,
[2:10:08] Speaker 2: he said he didn't say who told him, League circles.
[2:10:11] Speaker 2: League circles.
[2:10:13] Speaker 4: Right?
[2:10:13] Speaker 2: Like the league they ought to be hanging out and shaking.
[2:10:15] Speaker 6: He just said Bernie said it.
[2:10:16] Speaker 2: He said Bernie said it. Now you got to tell
[2:10:20] Speaker 2: you who said Bernie said it. Right? Bernie don't want
[2:10:24] Speaker 2: nobody to know he's saying anything. So therefore.
[2:10:28] Speaker 1: You wasn't supposed to say the sleeper team that we
[2:10:31] Speaker 1: was going to surprise everybody with.
[2:10:33] Speaker 2: Why you fucking up? Type shit. It's his job.
[2:10:36] Speaker 6: It's his job.
[2:10:37] Speaker 1: Damn.
[2:10:38] Speaker 3: So you think Sean just pulled that out of Thin air?
[2:10:40] Speaker 2: Thin air?
[2:10:41] Speaker 1: Or... If he going as far as saying he... All
[2:10:46] Speaker 1: the reports is... Like, it's three sides to every store.
[2:10:52] Speaker 2: So... Where he ever he end up, if he end
[2:10:55] Speaker 2: up in Phoenix.
[2:10:56] Speaker 6: Right, then what?
[2:10:57] Speaker 1: Somebody.
[2:10:57] Speaker 2: Bernie, you're going to apologize. I mean, or they square up.
[2:11:01] Speaker 2: Squabble up, squabble. The Bernie lean. Squabble up. Shit, what's up, Bernie? No,
[2:11:06] Speaker 2: it can be some... That's why I don't... and, like, let's...
[2:11:13] Speaker 2: Does this usually.
[2:11:14] Speaker 6: Come on in a dress? Has Jimmy been in trade
[2:11:17] Speaker 6: rumors all the time? But this is the first time.
[2:11:19] Speaker 2: First time we heard the agent come out.
[2:11:21] Speaker 6: So that's why I'm kind of like.
[2:11:22] Speaker 3: And after the report initially, bro, I believe Jimmy did
[2:11:26] Speaker 3: not speak to the media, left the facility that day.
[2:11:28] Speaker 1: Really? Yeah.
[2:11:29] Speaker 2: We had talked about it earlier.
[2:11:30] Speaker 6: Yeah, so this is all kind of mixy.
[2:11:34] Speaker 2: But I didn't know he was his agent. It makes sense, though.
[2:11:38] Speaker 3: Like I said, last year, if his deal has a
[2:11:39] Speaker 3: player option this summer, if a move were to be made,
[2:11:42] Speaker 3: it had to be made by the deadline. If not,
[2:11:44] Speaker 3: Jimmy has the potential to exercise or to opt out,
[2:11:48] Speaker 3: become a free agent, leave the Heat with nothing.
[2:11:50] Speaker 6: With nothing, yeah.
[2:11:52] Speaker 5: Ooh, I think you got to trade him. You got to.
[2:11:56] Speaker 2: Or extend him.
[2:11:58] Speaker 6: Nah.
[2:12:00] Speaker 2: What for? Right? I'm just saying. I'm just being honest. Like, no,
[2:12:05] Speaker 2: Jimmy is a hell of a player. with the right
[2:12:07] Speaker 2: pieces around him and the right situation, but they done
[2:12:11] Speaker 2: made it there a couple times on bad, the eighth
[2:12:13] Speaker 2: seed make it to the final. Like, you can't rely
[2:12:14] Speaker 2: on that all the time, man. For signing trade? Extending trade?
[2:12:20] Speaker 2: For who?
[2:12:21] Speaker 1: I mean, we had talked about there's a potential... You just.
[2:12:24] Speaker 3: Let him walk for nothing or you sign him to
[2:12:26] Speaker 3: an extension. Now you at least have an option to
[2:12:28] Speaker 3: try and see if somebody don't come out of his deal.
[2:12:29] Speaker 2: I'm not afraid to let Jimmy walk. I'm not, yeah.
[2:12:32] Speaker 2: If I'm Pat Riley now, I'm not afraid.
[2:12:33] Speaker 1: That's the last option. That's the last option. Let him
[2:12:36] Speaker 1: walk to get nothing.
[2:12:37] Speaker 6: They can get someone else. Not for Jimmy, in free agency.
[2:12:39] Speaker 2: Who? Who's going to Miami?
[2:12:41] Speaker 6: I don't know. Who has?
[2:12:42] Speaker 1: Not a place.
[2:12:43] Speaker 6: Besides LeBron.
[2:12:43] Speaker 2: Nobody has.
[2:12:44] Speaker 6: That's not a place people want to go.
[2:12:45] Speaker 2: No.
[2:12:46] Speaker 6: Because they be working too hard?
[2:12:47] Speaker 2: Yes. Who's ain't trying to go to Miami? People ain't
[2:12:51] Speaker 2: signing up for that. Yeah, they love Miami. Not the Heat.
[2:12:55] Speaker 6: Which is so funny because Miami.
[2:12:56] Speaker 2: The city versus the team, it's like... It's.
[2:12:59] Speaker 1: Night and day. Like playing overseas.
[2:13:03] Speaker 4: If you are someone that really likes Miami, you cannot
[2:13:06] Speaker 4: go play.
[2:13:06] Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, no.
[2:13:07] Speaker 1: Because you're not going to do what they expect you
[2:13:09] Speaker 1: to do.
[2:13:10] Speaker 2: Take special people.
[2:13:12] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:13:12] Speaker 5: That's why they begin all these second rounds and... Niggas
[2:13:16] Speaker 5: off the street type.
[2:13:17] Speaker 2: Them already the hard worker, hustler. Second round picks. You
[2:13:20] Speaker 2: ain't got, you can't afford to go out.
[2:13:22] Speaker 1: Right. Your life revolve around trying to make this damn team.
[2:13:26] Speaker 6: Facts. For real.
[2:13:28] Speaker 2: A couple years ago, I made the second round picks
[2:13:29] Speaker 2: they have. An undrafted guy.
[2:13:31] Speaker 1: Five.
[2:13:32] Speaker 2: Five guys on the roster. It was like hard knocks.
[2:13:35] Speaker 2: It was like the hard knocks of the NBA. It
[2:13:37] Speaker 2: was playing big minutes. From Philly. You're right. Caleb Martin.
[2:13:43] Speaker 1: Yep.
[2:13:43] Speaker 2: Caleb Martin. Vincent.
[2:13:44] Speaker 3: Yep.
[2:13:45] Speaker 2: All of them. Duncan Robinson to get drafted.
[2:13:47] Speaker 1: Dunn. No, no, not Dunn.
[2:13:49] Speaker 2: Was it Dunn? Max Struess.
[2:13:51] Speaker 1: Max Struess.
[2:13:52] Speaker 2: Dunn. Max Struess.
[2:13:52] Speaker 6: Dunn.
[2:13:53] Speaker 2: Dunn. Kendrick Nunn.
[2:13:55] Speaker 6: Kendrick Nunn.
[2:13:55] Speaker 1: Kendrick Nunn. Kendrick Nunn was over there.
[2:13:57] Speaker 2: So, no, they had a bunch of guys that.
[2:13:59] Speaker 4: Seems that's like a springboard for the second rounders.
[2:14:02] Speaker 3: Right?
[2:14:02] Speaker 1: If you could play hard, come in and give us.
[2:14:04] Speaker 1: Do Kevin Love in there.
[2:14:06] Speaker 2: But it's just, dude, you that, man.
[2:14:08] Speaker 1: Hey, guys. They haven't had anybody since Bam.
[2:14:12] Speaker 2: A lot of liquor stores. A lot of them. And
[2:14:16] Speaker 2: they can do that, right? Bam and Hero. Bam and Hero.
[2:14:19] Speaker 1: Them are the only two. And Jaime Highcare is right.
[2:14:24] Speaker 1: But other than that, you got guys that... But Jaime
[2:14:27] Speaker 1: Highcare went to school for four years. He played for
[2:14:29] Speaker 1: Mick Cronin. Hey, listen.
[2:14:32] Speaker 2: They're goddamn nuts. He's not fazed by anything.
[2:14:35] Speaker 1: Going on in Miami.
[2:14:36] Speaker 2: Not anything that's going on in Miami as far as working.
[2:14:39] Speaker 2: He played for Mick Cronin.
[2:14:40] Speaker 3: He's been motherfucking up and down the court for numerous years.
[2:14:43] Speaker 2: For four years. Not worried about anything you talk about, Pat.
[2:14:46] Speaker 1: He definitely got motherfucking cussed out for four years under
[2:14:48] Speaker 1: Mick Cronin.
[2:14:49] Speaker 2: Absolutely. It do seem like they develop players good, though.
[2:14:53] Speaker 1: Who that? Miami. Miami.
[2:14:55] Speaker 2: Because they're older guys. No, see, this is the thing.
[2:14:57] Speaker 2: They develop a great work ethic. Yeah, a great work ethic.
[2:15:01] Speaker 2: But they get older guys, though, right? Them guys that's
[2:15:03] Speaker 2: not getting drafted, they're not 19.
[2:15:05] Speaker 1: They're 22.
[2:15:05] Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't go to school for three, four years.
[2:15:08] Speaker 1: They know how to play basketball.
[2:15:12] Speaker 2: They ain't afraid of the work. And they need this job.
[2:15:15] Speaker 2: And they're not new to the work ethic.
[2:15:17] Speaker 1: Undrafted and second round.
[2:15:19] Speaker 2: I will run through that goddamn wall. Just to get
[2:15:21] Speaker 2: this contract signed.
[2:15:22] Speaker 1: And back through that bitch for a different, not the
[2:15:24] Speaker 1: same hole that I just created. Damn.
[2:15:27] Speaker 2: I'm going to create a whole different hole coming back
[2:15:30] Speaker 2: through the wall.
[2:15:30] Speaker 1: Damn. Right?
[2:15:32] Speaker 2: To get this job. Stop. Stop. Brother knowledge came out, boy.
[2:15:39] Speaker 1: I'm going back and forth. You done been in training
[2:15:42] Speaker 1: camp with dudes trying to make the team?
[2:15:43] Speaker 2: Absolutely.
[2:15:44] Speaker 1: You're like, don't match me.
[2:15:46] Speaker 2: I'm not with him. Reuben Palace was trying.
[2:15:48] Speaker 1: To make our team in Denver.
[2:15:49] Speaker 2: Do you think he made it?
[2:15:50] Speaker 1: Yes. One time they tried to cut him, they brought
[2:15:54] Speaker 1: him back, right? You can't... Who wants to play against that?
[2:15:56] Speaker 1: Go ask Melo.
[2:15:58] Speaker 2: How it was every day. You got to tell somebody
[2:16:00] Speaker 2: to get him.
[2:16:01] Speaker 1: Go ask Melo how it was every day playing against
[2:16:04] Speaker 1: Reuben Patterson. Damn, Reuben.
[2:16:06] Speaker 2: Reuben, are you okay, Reuben?
[2:16:08] Speaker 1: Shit.
[2:16:09] Speaker 2: Give him a contract already. Yes, please sign this.
[2:16:12] Speaker 1: Just sign him. And he still ain't going to turn
[2:16:15] Speaker 1: it off because you can tell him it ain't guaranteed.
[2:16:17] Speaker 2: Money yet until January 10th. Damn, I got to keep grinding.
[2:16:21] Speaker 6: So.
[2:16:22] Speaker 1: Right? So them the dudes that Pat Riley and them get.
[2:16:27] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[2:16:28] Speaker 2: What was Hero, first round? Udonis undrafted.
[2:16:32] Speaker 4: Udonis didn't get drafted for 20 years.
[2:16:37] Speaker 5: The last top pick they had was Beasley. That was
[2:16:40] Speaker 5: like a prima donna.
[2:16:43] Speaker 2: And that was a mistake. And that was a mistake
[2:16:47] Speaker 2: them drafting Mike. Oh, Mike Beasley? Yeah, they should have
[2:16:51] Speaker 2: never did that. From both parties. Both parties. He a legend, though.
[2:16:55] Speaker 2: Absolutely a legend. He would have been a legend. He
[2:16:57] Speaker 2: would have been somewhere else. He was a child. If
[2:16:59] Speaker 2: he would.
[2:17:00] Speaker 5: Have went somewhere else, it would have been better for him.
[2:17:02] Speaker 1: Absolutely.
[2:17:03] Speaker 2: Way better situation. Yeah, Mike was too young for Miami. No,
[2:17:06] Speaker 2: too young for the heat. Yeah, for Miami. Just that.
[2:17:09] Speaker 1: He didn't separate Miami from the heat.
[2:17:13] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. He was trying to integrate it. Kid, man.
[2:17:16] Speaker 1: Yeah, he was too young for that.
[2:17:17] Speaker 2: 18 years old, man. Yeah.
[2:17:21] Speaker 1: World at your feet 19 years old with that kind
[2:17:23] Speaker 1: of pressure and deal with patting him.
[2:17:27] Speaker 2: And deal with patting him that's tough and go out
[2:17:29] Speaker 2: come on 19 that ain't gonna work and you ain't
[2:17:32] Speaker 2: never been yelled at yeah oh yeah he got yelled
[2:17:35] Speaker 2: at he played for.
[2:17:35] Speaker 1: Bob Huggins oh Bob was at K-State that one year
[2:17:38] Speaker 1: he definitely got fucking yelled at I can tell you
[2:17:40] Speaker 1: that shit listen so I'm referencing these names so Mick
[2:17:44] Speaker 1: Cronin coached under Bob Huggins for y'all that know this.
[2:17:46] Speaker 2: The current coach at UCLA. Current coach at UCLA. I
[2:17:48] Speaker 2: rock with Mick, though. So, he coached under him. So,
[2:17:53] Speaker 2: if you didn't play for either one of them, you've
[2:17:55] Speaker 2: been motherfucked. Very old-school coaching approach that a lot of
[2:17:58] Speaker 2: players in this day.
[2:17:59] Speaker 1: And age emotionally get fazed by.
[2:18:03] Speaker 2: But Jaime Hockett's unfazed. Absolutely. At no point.
[2:18:06] Speaker 1: I think he was in Minnesota during the LeBron-Miami years.
[2:18:11] Speaker 2: He got drafted by Miami, didn't he?
[2:18:12] Speaker 1: At the end of the day, he went and got
[2:18:13] Speaker 1: traded to Minnesota.
[2:18:16] Speaker 5: I was saying, was Beasley ever LeBron or Ather?
[2:18:21] Speaker 2: He was with LeBron.
[2:18:22] Speaker 3: Fabizi got drafted in 2008.
[2:18:25] Speaker 1: He was. I talked to him after that show. I
[2:18:28] Speaker 1: was like, why you ain't get signed back? He said, man,
[2:18:31] Speaker 1: should have never challenged Brian 101, man.
[2:18:34] Speaker 2: I don't believe that that's what he said.
[2:18:37] Speaker 3: So he played the first two seasons in Miami, then
[2:18:39] Speaker 3: went to Minnesota, came back to Miami for 2013, 14 season,
[2:18:41] Speaker 3: 14 season.
[2:18:41] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
[2:18:42] Speaker 2: That challenge shit. That's when they was there.
[2:18:44] Speaker 1: They challenged Brian 101, lost, and just.
[2:18:51] Speaker 2: Yeah, kill the spirit. Understand, that happens. No, going to Miami,
[2:18:56] Speaker 2: you have to be prepared, and they can treat certain
[2:18:59] Speaker 2: guys like that. So I reference, so the same thing
[2:19:02] Speaker 2: about the Heat, I say about Mick Cronin, right? In
[2:19:06] Speaker 2: order for you to get the guys that you think
[2:19:09] Speaker 2: you need to get, which is the five-star guys, and
[2:19:12] Speaker 2: for you to get the top three agents, you got
[2:19:14] Speaker 2: to tone that shit back. Yeah, you do. Mick can't
[2:19:16] Speaker 2: be that way and get five-star recruits. Yeah. How many
[2:19:19] Speaker 2: five-star recruits have Mick got? I'm speaking the truth, right? Unfortunately,
[2:19:24] Speaker 2: because of how he coached. When he was at Cincinnati,
[2:19:27] Speaker 2: you can go three-star guys, you're in the middle of
[2:19:29] Speaker 2: the country. When you're in a certain organization, you can
[2:19:32] Speaker 2: do that shit to people, but when you need... So
[2:19:35] Speaker 2: in order to attract free agents and stars and five stars,
[2:19:40] Speaker 2: you got to.
[2:19:41] Speaker 1: You got to.
[2:19:42] Speaker 2: Tone it down a little bit. Ain't no way five stars...
[2:19:46] Speaker 2: A guy coming in free agency and you talking about, yo,
[2:19:48] Speaker 2: we got body fat test and we got this and
[2:19:50] Speaker 2: I've been used to going out three, four days a week.
[2:19:54] Speaker 2: That doesn't sound appealing to you that we got cardio
[2:19:57] Speaker 2: four days a week. So we got to do extra
[2:19:59] Speaker 2: cardio four days a week. Even if you don't go out,
[2:20:04] Speaker 2: that don't sound right. Wait, wait.
[2:20:06] Speaker 6: It only sucks if.
[2:20:08] Speaker 1: You ain't really been. That's why Miami has been the
[2:20:11] Speaker 1: challenging destination for everybody because it's challenging.
[2:20:14] Speaker 6: Like two days a week.
[2:20:15] Speaker 2: It's challenging to change.
[2:20:16] Speaker 1: But who's going, though? I know. We know nobody's going,
[2:20:18] Speaker 1: but what you just said is the ultimate challenge for
[2:20:21] Speaker 1: a player. No going out, eat right, be on time,
[2:20:25] Speaker 1: and make sure you perform. That's difficult for a guy
[2:20:28] Speaker 1: who's never had that accountability.
[2:20:30] Speaker 3: Corona's got a few through there, but it takes a certain...
[2:20:33] Speaker 3: Through there, but... Yeah, Mark Bailey, Peyton Watson, but... I
[2:20:36] Speaker 3: just don't like... Everybody hates running.
[2:20:38] Speaker 6: Not unless somebody is telling me to run.
[2:20:40] Speaker 1: That, too. When people tell me, get on the line.
[2:20:43] Speaker 1: I mean, as far as.
[2:20:44] Speaker 2: Man, I'm not about to get on... I sure like it.
[2:20:47] Speaker 2: Everybody not built for that, Kenny, as you know. If
[2:20:49] Speaker 2: we could just pop a pill to get into shape,
[2:20:51] Speaker 2: I would.
[2:20:51] Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be safe like a motherfucker today.
[2:20:55] Speaker 2: But my thing is, like, some guys you can do,
[2:20:57] Speaker 2: but it just, it's not attractive to some guys, right?
[2:21:01] Speaker 2: Like you said, most guys. Everybody. So most guys you're
[2:21:04] Speaker 2: going to get as a free agent, they already established
[2:21:06] Speaker 2: that you need to come there.
[2:21:08] Speaker 1: Yep.
[2:21:08] Speaker 2: They're already established with whatever habits they have.
[2:21:11] Speaker 1: They got great work ethic. Work ethic, it's one thing.
[2:21:15] Speaker 1: All that extra. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. You're
[2:21:19] Speaker 1: not going to put this on top of my work.
[2:21:21] Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's too much. And I'm in year nine. Yeah,
[2:21:24] Speaker 2: that's too much. You're eight, whatever it is. I'm not
[2:21:27] Speaker 2: going to do that. I'm not going to sign up.
[2:21:29] Speaker 2: You can trade me there.
[2:21:31] Speaker 1: And if it's part of it, we can talk about
[2:21:33] Speaker 1: this shit.
[2:21:34] Speaker 2: It's like being a senior doing freshman shit.
[2:21:37] Speaker 6: Come on.
[2:21:37] Speaker 1: Zach, come on.
[2:21:39] Speaker 2: No, I'm not doing that.
[2:21:40] Speaker 1: For sure.
[2:21:40] Speaker 2: We're not going to do that. The freshmen, go ahead, y'all.
[2:21:43] Speaker 1: Absolutely.
[2:21:43] Speaker 2: Y'all dump me off it. We're not going to do

[2:22:30] Speaker 2: of money. You tell me I'm making 40, 50, possibly
[2:22:35] Speaker 2: 60 million a year, and I.
[2:22:38] Speaker 1: I work hard already.

[2:23:19] Speaker 1: Conditioning shit, bro. When I heard Antoine talk about that
[2:23:23] Speaker 1: shit when he was in Minnesota, he was like, he
[2:23:25] Speaker 1: was a Miami boy. You know how hard it was
[2:23:27] Speaker 1: for me not to.
[2:23:28] Speaker 2: Eat this shit? That's what I'm talking about. That's crazy. Yeah, man.
[2:23:32] Speaker 2: You making... Okay, we want to eat... They expect you,
[2:23:36] Speaker 2: the athletes, to eat a certain way and do certain
[2:23:38] Speaker 2: things and be a certain way. But I'm here to
[2:23:41] Speaker 2: tell you, people, there's only a select few that fits
[2:23:45] Speaker 2: that fucking stereotype of a real goddamn athlete. Athletes eat
[2:23:51] Speaker 2: like shit. All the time. We burn it off, yeah.
[2:23:55] Speaker 2: I'm about to burn that off tomorrow. I'm about to
[2:23:57] Speaker 2: eat like shit.

[2:24:15] Speaker 1: that shit off walking to the gym.
[2:24:16] Speaker 2: Man. From your car to the.
[2:24:18] Speaker 1: Locker room, you didn't burn that shit off. You ready
[2:24:21] Speaker 1: to eat again.
[2:24:21] Speaker 2: Ready to eat again.
[2:24:22] Speaker 4: That's the funny thing about, like, when they talk about
[2:24:24] Speaker 4: nutrition and stuff, like, That's not one size fits all.
[2:24:27] Speaker 6: And then some people are above.
[2:24:29] Speaker 2: All those rules.
[2:24:30] Speaker 1: You can come in and eat candy. Like Lamar, eat candy.
[2:24:33] Speaker 4: I had a teammate, one of our best players, McDonald's
[2:24:36] Speaker 4: every morning.
[2:24:36] Speaker 1: Every morning?
[2:24:37] Speaker 2: I used to sit there and eat nachos right before
[2:24:40] Speaker 2: the tip-off. Eat nachos right before the game.
[2:24:42] Speaker 1: That's insane.
[2:24:42] Speaker 2: That's crazy.
[2:24:43] Speaker 6: That's insane.
[2:24:44] Speaker 1: That's insane.
[2:24:45] Speaker 2: I would throw up everywhere. Man, who farted? Who farted
[2:24:50] Speaker 2: with all that cheese?
[2:24:52] Speaker 6: All that cheese.

[2:24:57] Speaker 2: athletes do it, no. You got certain guys that do, yes.
[2:25:01] Speaker 2: Certain guys have chefs. Even in some guys that have chefs.
[2:25:04] Speaker 1: Some of the food that the chef makes.

[2:28:41] Speaker 1: I've never experienced.

[2:28:46] Speaker 2: Nick's rubbing off on you. Yeah. Shoot me a joke.
[2:28:50] Speaker 1: Let me see. First question from underdog user Whispers1000.
[2:28:54] Speaker 3: What's the dumbest thing you ever bought and what's the
[2:28:57] Speaker 3: most expensive thing you bought for someone? Dumbest thing you
[2:29:00] Speaker 3: ever bought and most expensive thing you ever bought for someone.
[2:29:03] Speaker 6: Dumbest thing?
[2:29:04] Speaker 2: A wedding ring. Oh, shit. Tell me about it. Tell
[2:29:09] Speaker 2: me about it. It fits both categories?
[2:29:13] Speaker 1: I just took that motherfucker back.
[2:29:14] Speaker 2: I just took it back. So that fits both categories?
[2:29:16] Speaker 5: But when you take it back, you don't get the
[2:29:18] Speaker 5: same amount of money you spent.
[2:29:19] Speaker 2: So y'all didn't answer my question.
[2:29:20] Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it that depreciated. What was the second?
[2:29:22] Speaker 2: Does it fit both? What was the second question?
[2:29:25] Speaker 1: Most expensive and dumbest?
[2:29:26] Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, basically. For sure.
[2:29:29] Speaker 6: Wow.
[2:29:30] Speaker 2: Hell yeah. I never spent $ 1, 000 on a woman before.
[2:29:33] Speaker 1: $ 1, 000? Yeah. That's it?
[2:29:38] Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, let's get off the air.
[2:29:40] Speaker 6: I don't want to answer this question.
[2:29:42] Speaker 2: $ 1, 000?
[2:29:42] Speaker 1: $ 1, 000.
[2:29:42] Speaker 2: For the ring?
[2:29:43] Speaker 1: Yeah, you see, I ain't married.
[2:29:46] Speaker 2: That's what it was worth.
[2:29:50] Speaker 6: Did you give it to her?
[2:29:51] Speaker 2: No, no, no.
[2:29:54] Speaker 1: No.
[2:29:54] Speaker 5: Wait, so you say I'm thinking about marrying her.
[2:29:56] Speaker 2: I'm going to just buy this.
[2:29:57] Speaker 1: And then I found out what I found out, and
[2:29:59] Speaker 1: then I went and gave it to a stripper.
[2:30:04] Speaker 2: I just didn't want to do it. You didn't want
[2:30:06] Speaker 2: to do it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I got bamboozled. You
[2:30:10] Speaker 2: got bamboozled?
[2:30:11] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:30:12] Speaker 5: But you kind of, $ 1, 000, I would have been mad
[2:30:15] Speaker 5: that you was.
[2:30:16] Speaker 2: A tiny little ass ring like this.
[2:30:18] Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what you get because you was doing this.
[2:30:22] Speaker 2: That's what you get.
[2:30:22] Speaker 1: I feel it.
[2:30:23] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[2:30:23] Speaker 1: I was going to upgrade after the.
[2:30:25] Speaker 2: What? After the... Oh, that was a.
[2:30:27] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:30:27] Speaker 2: That was a test run. Yes, it's always a test.
[2:30:30] Speaker 4: That's not how you should live your life.
[2:30:32] Speaker 1: It is not. But that's why I'm not married because
[2:30:35] Speaker 1: I lived my life a certain way and I passed.
[2:30:37] Speaker 2: She didn't.
[2:30:38] Speaker 4: Mm.
[2:30:39] Speaker 2: And I got my $ 1, 000. I feel appreciated. Oh, I
[2:30:42] Speaker 2: love this ring. Yeah.
[2:30:44] Speaker 4: If she, like, really, really loved you, she would have
[2:30:47] Speaker 4: accepted any ring.
[2:30:47] Speaker 1: Accept anything.
[2:30:48] Speaker 6: I agree with that.
[2:30:50] Speaker 2: Lexi said you're not going to answer that question, Kenyon.
[2:30:53] Speaker 6: Yeah, because people be watching my pockets.
[2:30:54] Speaker 2: I don't have your pockets.
[2:30:55] Speaker 3: Some of the things you ever bought, most expensive thing
[2:30:58] Speaker 3: you bought for someone.
[2:31:00] Speaker 2: For someone?
[2:31:07] Speaker 1: Um....
[2:31:09] Speaker 2: Dumbest thing? Probably dumbass cars or something. Yeah, that expensive car.
[2:31:19] Speaker 2: Really expensive car.
[2:31:21] Speaker 3: And real quick, Lexi, what's your thought on getting a
[2:31:23] Speaker 3: test ring, a a pre-game warm-up ring, if you will,
[2:31:27] Speaker 3: that will lead to the actual ring if you play
[2:31:30] Speaker 3: your cards right and get your mind right.
[2:31:31] Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you got to test the behavior. You got
[2:31:33] Speaker 1: to test the entitlement.
[2:31:34] Speaker 2: All of the things.
[2:31:35] Speaker 6: But is the engagement real? Is the engagement real?
[2:31:39] Speaker 2: You got the ring. This is league, McCants.
[2:31:45] Speaker 5: Oh, this is college, McCants.
[2:31:46] Speaker 2: No, this is league. Like, when I get the bigger ring...
[2:31:49] Speaker 2: I think I get where he's going with it.
[2:31:50] Speaker 6: I do, but I'm like, I don't know if we're
[2:31:52] Speaker 6: here with it, though.
[2:31:53] Speaker 1: But let me... So.
[2:31:55] Speaker 2: Tell me if I'm wrong. It doesn't matter how much
[2:32:02] Speaker 2: it costs. It's the thought and the action.
[2:32:05] Speaker 6: Right.
[2:32:06] Speaker 2: I want to spend the rest of my life. Right.
[2:32:08] Speaker 2: So if that's not enough, whatever, like, you can't just...
[2:32:11] Speaker 2: I'm just saying, listen, bro. I see what.
[2:32:13] Speaker 1: This is.
[2:32:13] Speaker 2: How did the ring look, though? It don't matter.
[2:32:16] Speaker 4: Because you can get a really pretty looking ring and
[2:32:18] Speaker 4: it's fake.
[2:32:19] Speaker 2: It does not matter. But who else?
[2:32:21] Speaker 1: Is somebody else going to ask you a question?
[2:32:23] Speaker 2: It shouldn't matter.
[2:32:24] Speaker 1: I'm asking you a question.
[2:32:25] Speaker 2: It should not matter. If someone is... If a man
[2:32:27] Speaker 2: has asked you to spend the rest of his life
[2:32:29] Speaker 2: with you, it should not matter.
[2:32:31] Speaker 1: Only the love shit matters.
[2:32:32] Speaker 6: That's the one you really love.
[2:32:34] Speaker 4: So, say the ring is accepted, everything goes smoothly. You're automatically...
[2:32:39] Speaker 4: Even if she's so happy with the ring, you still
[2:32:40] Speaker 4: gonna get her a better one?
[2:32:41] Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. The better one is always in the plan.
[2:32:45] Speaker 1: But if you look at that motherfucker and you be like... Oh,
[2:32:48] Speaker 1: my God.
[2:32:48] Speaker 2: Like, you turn your nose up or you... If any
[2:32:49] Speaker 2: woman do that, that's crazy.
[2:32:50] Speaker 1: Right?
[2:32:50] Speaker 2: You do some shit like that, then that's... So, that's
[2:32:53] Speaker 2: the reaction you probably.
[2:32:54] Speaker 6: A lot of poor people do that, then.
[2:32:56] Speaker 2: What?
[2:32:57] Speaker 1: Well, you know, me being on the short bus. Me
[2:32:59] Speaker 1: being on the short bus. You got to come up
[2:33:02] Speaker 1: with these good ideas so that you can test these
[2:33:05] Speaker 1: motherfucking facts. So I get it.
[2:33:07] Speaker 2: So I understand. You got to test me.
[2:33:12] Speaker 1: I didn't want to do the fake shit because it
[2:33:14] Speaker 1: was real. I was being real. I wanted to know
[2:33:16] Speaker 1: how real she was being. What does the ring have
[2:33:19] Speaker 1: to do with real love?
[2:33:19] Speaker 2: I don't know. So that's what the thought should be.

[2:33:24] Speaker 2: you feel that you got to do this, why do
[2:33:26] Speaker 2: you love her? It was an expensive house, but it

[2:33:34] Speaker 1: I'm always in the market.
[2:33:35] Speaker 2: Well, if you can find one at the time, it
[2:33:37] Speaker 2: was a house of like $ 120, 000.
