Gil's Arena Gives A HOSTILE Response To Skip Bayless as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew break down an up & down season for Jokic & The Nuggets and debate if this season is the last opportunity for Denver's championship core of Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr and Aaron Gordon to go for another title before the team decides to blow it up. They then react to another impressive game for Luka Doncic & The Lakers as the Lake Show smothered the San Antonio Spurs in their 4th game in 5 nights and the great white hopes of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves continued to prove they can carry the team without LeBron James. They debate Lemon Daddy's ceiling in the league as he continues to improve and discuss what the Lakers squad has shown during LeBron's absence. Next, they react to the news that Paul George is out for the season as the Philadephia 76er's year from hell continues and highlight Quintin Grimes as only bright spot for the 76ers this season. Finally, they break down Karl Anthony Towns' resurgent season for the New York Knicks and get real on if the team's beef with Coach Thibs' minutes policy if for real or fugazi.

[1:44] Speaker 5: I won all that.
[1:44] Speaker 2: That's basically about it. Y'all didn't have, like, a basketball tournament?
[1:48] Speaker 1: Doing, like, what?
[1:50] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:51] Speaker 3: One-on-ones? No, it was a full team, like, five-on-five. Yeah, like,

[1:57] Speaker 6: back in the day.
[1:58] Speaker 3: Oh, y'all don't know what era I came from. Dude,
[2:01] Speaker 3: we the same age.
[2:02] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[2:03] Speaker 5: I didn't start basketball till 12.
[2:07] Speaker 3: I forgot you were.
[2:10] Speaker 1: Now, think about who was poppin' at my age.
[2:14] Speaker 3: Michael Jordan.
[2:15] Speaker 5: Mm. Iso King.
[2:17] Speaker 3: Mm. I want to be like Mike.
[2:20] Speaker 5: So I learned selfish behavior before team basketball. I didn't
[2:24] Speaker 5: know team concepts.
[2:26] Speaker 3: I didn't know play as a team. All I knew
[2:27] Speaker 3: was me. So it was you versus five people.
[2:31] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
[2:32] Speaker 5: I played one-on-one in the basketball court. I didn't understand.
[2:35] Speaker 3: And that's Michael Jordan's fault.
[2:37] Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
[2:38] Speaker 5: That's not Michael Jordan's fault. That's what I... I didn't
[2:41] Speaker 5: grow up on, you know, the Magic Johnson, boom, boom.
[2:44] Speaker 5: When I learned basketball, that was the vision.
[2:47] Speaker 3: But I thought Penny was your guy. When did Penny
[2:50] Speaker 3: come in? I was a high school kid already. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2:55] Speaker 1: Penny was... Yeah, when I first.
[2:56] Speaker 4: Penny came in 95.
[2:57] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:58] Speaker 5: When I touched the basketball, I was 12.
[3:00] Speaker 3: So I didn't... I was in fifth grade then. You
[3:02] Speaker 3: was in fifth grade in 95?
[3:03] Speaker 1: Mm.
[3:03] Speaker 4: I was in 95.

[6:20] Speaker 1: For all the fans, we still got two viewing options
[6:22] Speaker 1: for you. Our traditional version, mobile vertical version. Pick whichever
[6:24] Speaker 1: one you want to watch. Just make sure you support
[6:26] Speaker 1: the show. Here's what's cracking in the arena today. Jalen
[6:29] Speaker 1: Brunson will be out until at least late March or
[6:31] Speaker 1: early April with his sprained ankle. But can Cat and
[6:34] Speaker 1: company keep the Knicks afloat? Or is Tibbs going to
[6:37] Speaker 1: run them to the ground? After getting pool-partied this weekend,
[6:40] Speaker 1: the Nuggets got their ninth straight win over the Warriors
[6:43] Speaker 1: without Joker and Jamal Murray in the lineup. Is this
[6:46] Speaker 1: the last dance for their championship core? They're third in
[6:49] Speaker 1: the West right now. You know, even if they get
[6:52] Speaker 1: past the Warriors, they got to see the Lakers.
[6:54] Speaker 3: It's not.
[6:55] Speaker 1: It's going to be over for them. Somebody got to go,
[6:57] Speaker 1: and it ain't Joker. And Austin Reeves has been playing
[7:00] Speaker 1: at an all-NBA level. Wait, what?
[7:03] Speaker 3: Said somebody got to go, and it ain't Joker.
[7:09] Speaker 5: You just said they're going to play the Lakers. And
[7:11] Speaker 5: someone got to go, and it ain't Joker.
[7:13] Speaker 3: No, after they get eliminated from the playoffs by either
[7:15] Speaker 3: the Warriors or the Lakers. Oh, someone got to lead
[7:18] Speaker 3: a team. Somebody has to lead. Oh, you scare me.
[7:20] Speaker 3: I thought you was jinxing us.
[7:21] Speaker 5: No.
[7:21] Speaker 1: My bad, boss. We are not traditional media. We can
[7:24] Speaker 1: show our allegiance and loyalty. Carry on. You call me boss.
[7:28] Speaker 1: You the boss. You responsible for my direct deposit. And
[7:33] Speaker 1: Austin Reeves has been playing at an all-NBA level with
[7:35] Speaker 1: LeBron out of the Lakers lineup. What's AR-15's ceiling in
[7:39] Speaker 1: the league? He's got a lot of love and support
[7:41] Speaker 1: from Luka Doncic. The Caucasian Lakers have won two straight games.

[10:39] Speaker 1: let us get into it. Got to talk about the Sixers, unfortunately.
[10:44] Speaker 1: Sixers announced they will shut down Paul George for the
[10:46] Speaker 1: rest of the regular season as he deals with injuries
[10:48] Speaker 1: to his left groin In knee.
[10:51] Speaker 3: His left groin, dude. Man, look at that left groin.
[10:54] Speaker 1: PG played 41 games in his first season in Philly,
[10:57] Speaker 1: averaging 16.5 rebounds, four assists per game on 43-36-81 shooting splits.
[11:03] Speaker 1: As a reminder, he joined Philly with high expectations this
[11:06] Speaker 1: offseason after signing a four-year, $ 212 million contract to replace
[11:10] Speaker 1: Tobias Harris. What went wrong for PG this season in Philly?
[11:18] Speaker 3: What went wrong?
[11:19] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[11:21] Speaker 3: Preseason. Did it have that hyperextension?
[11:25] Speaker 5: Preseason.
[11:25] Speaker 3: Very early on.
[11:28] Speaker 5: Maybe an emotional departure.
[11:30] Speaker 3: Yeah, I was about to say that.
[11:32] Speaker 1: Right?
[11:32] Speaker 3: Let's just be honest.
[11:34] Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure he didn't want to be in Philly.
[11:37] Speaker 3: He didn't want to go to Philly. Nobody wanted to
[11:39] Speaker 3: go to Philly.
[11:40] Speaker 5: So just the fact that just the energy itself has
[11:43] Speaker 5: just been off a little bit, and from there it
[11:45] Speaker 5: just trickled down.
[11:48] Speaker 4: So why'd he go?
[11:49] Speaker 1: 2-12. So, soft situation with the Clippers, and then Kawhi
[11:53] Speaker 1: got that three for 153.
[11:54] Speaker 3: 212.
[11:54] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[11:56] Speaker 6: So, I guess this lesson is that money ain't all
[11:58] Speaker 6: money ain't good money.
[11:59] Speaker 1: What?
[12:00] Speaker 2: Whoa.
[12:01] Speaker 1: That's good.
[12:02] Speaker 3: What do you mean? Money is different. Don't go that far.
[12:04] Speaker 3: What do you mean?
[12:06] Speaker 6: It's an emotional decision, so you made an emotional decision
[12:09] Speaker 6: because of the paper, not because of what was really.
[12:11] Speaker 3: Best for you. Yeah, I get it.
[12:14] Speaker 6: I'm just saying, right? You can't say that and then.
[12:19] Speaker 4: No, no, no.
[12:19] Speaker 6: Because if it's an emotional decision, so that means you
[12:22] Speaker 6: don't want to go, but damn, 212, I need that money,
[12:25] Speaker 6: but I can go here and still win and have
[12:27] Speaker 6: a better... But the 212, though, it's the money.
[12:31] Speaker 3: He winning a championship? So I get 160 to lose.
[12:37] Speaker 5: In the first round or the second, and I get.
[12:40] Speaker 4: 212 to not even make it.
[12:42] Speaker 6: To not even make it, and then you're not going
[12:44] Speaker 6: to even make it next year.
[12:45] Speaker 2: Give me the 212. That team would have been calm.
[12:49] Speaker 3: Lose first round and be the Clippers?
[12:51] Speaker 2: They're not losing first round.
[12:53] Speaker 1: You're not losing first round with Paul.
[12:55] Speaker 4: So the motion.
[12:57] Speaker 2: As a Clipper?
[12:57] Speaker 3: $ 53 million a year? You're not losing first. Not in
[13:00] Speaker 3: the first round right now.
[13:01] Speaker 1: Not right now.
[13:02] Speaker 4: Not right now.
[13:02] Speaker 3: Not right now. They'd have been cold.
[13:04] Speaker 1: They'd have been cold.
[13:05] Speaker 3: They would go to the second round.
[13:07] Speaker 1: Woo! I said first and second.
[13:09] Speaker 3: No, no, no.
[13:10] Speaker 1: I say higher than that.
[13:11] Speaker 2: All of them healthy?
[13:12] Speaker 3: I know they can get out the first round for sure.
[13:14] Speaker 4: All of them healthy? No, no, no. But would they
[13:16] Speaker 4: have been healthy?
[13:17] Speaker 1: The Clippers?
[13:17] Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. Would they have been healthy?
[13:19] Speaker 4: They have a better chance than us.
[13:20] Speaker 1: Is Kawhi still playing, right?
[13:21] Speaker 3: Kawhi is playing.
[13:23] Speaker 4: And B, he can't even play back-to-back.
[13:24] Speaker 1: Okay, let me try this again.
[13:26] Speaker 3: He can't play from the quarterback.
[13:28] Speaker 5: 160 to lose in the Western Conference Finals or 212
[13:32] Speaker 5: to not make the playoffs?
[13:35] Speaker 1: Man, but think about it.
[13:36] Speaker 2: Think about it. Do this mess up his legacy?
[13:40] Speaker 1: Is he still first ballot?
[13:41] Speaker 4: Wait, hold on.
[13:43] Speaker 3: 160?
[13:44] Speaker 2: As a Clipper?
[13:44] Speaker 4: With my owner like this? To go to the conference finals.
[13:48] Speaker 4: With the owner that we got?
[13:50] Speaker 6: And you're going to take 212 to never go again
[13:52] Speaker 6: and then cry about emotional decisions? No, we're not doing that. No,
[13:55] Speaker 6: we're not doing that. No, you wanted the money, so
[13:57] Speaker 6: this is what you got. So that's fine.
[13:59] Speaker 1: I can tell you this.
[14:00] Speaker 6: So my thing is, too, don't stop doing a podcast.
[14:03] Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. 160 with the podcast.
[14:05] Speaker 6: You might as well just go all out. This was
[14:08] Speaker 6: about money. It wasn't about winning. It wasn't about basketball.
[14:11] Speaker 4: No, it looked good on.
[14:12] Speaker 2: Paper, too, though. No, that's what he said. He said
[14:14] Speaker 2: it was an emotional decision. No, I said that. It
[14:17] Speaker 2: looked good on paper. It looked good. Everything looked good
[14:21] Speaker 2: on paper. It's got to go out there and play.
[14:25] Speaker 2: We've seen that a lot, yeah. Everything look good on paper.
[14:27] Speaker 2: And it's for real, it's hard leaving, being in L.A.
[14:30] Speaker 2: that long, then just leaving to Philly. Philly ain't got
[14:32] Speaker 2: shit to do.
[14:34] Speaker 6: 160, and my owner like this, and all we gotta
[14:35] Speaker 6: do is win?
[14:36] Speaker 3: Have you seen Philly?
[14:37] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[14:38] Speaker 3: But you decided to go to Philly.
[14:39] Speaker 2: Yeah, leaving $ 70 million on the table.
[14:41] Speaker 1: Basketball, thinking we about to win.
[14:42] Speaker 3: You decided that. If everybody healthy, they... Nick, where's the accountability?
[14:48] Speaker 3: He didn't go to the series because he thought they'd
[14:49] Speaker 3: be mid, right?
[14:50] Speaker 1: Yeah. They thought that's the champion.
[14:53] Speaker 3: Early last summer. Fuck the thought. I'm just saying.
[14:56] Speaker 4: You did it. You made the decision. He made that decision.
[14:59] Speaker 4: He made an emotional decision. So where's the accountability?
[15:03] Speaker 1: Accountability on him getting hurt?
[15:04] Speaker 6: No, no, it's not okay. No, I just don't like
[15:06] Speaker 6: the emotion. Just, yo, this is the decision I made.
[15:09] Speaker 1: All right, boom.
[15:10] Speaker 4: Yeah. Like, what went wrong was it was just.
[15:12] Speaker 2: Hey, I came here for the money.
[15:13] Speaker 4: I made a bad decision.
[15:16] Speaker 3: I came here for the 212.
[15:16] Speaker 1: But the Clippers, they didn't offer him that much.
[15:18] Speaker 3: It looked like it. It looked like it.
[15:20] Speaker 1: Did the Clippers offer him? So Clippers, I believe, tried
[15:22] Speaker 1: to get, according to PG, Clippers tried to give him
[15:24] Speaker 1: a similar deal to Kawhi. He said, all right, throw
[15:26] Speaker 1: in a no trade clause. They balked at that, said
[15:28] Speaker 1: no thanks.
[15:29] Speaker 3: To which point.
[15:30] Speaker 4: That's fine.
[15:31] Speaker 3: I mean, you can have, that's fine.
[15:33] Speaker 1: I just don't, I just don't like the excuses. He
[15:36] Speaker 1: didn't give no excuses.
[15:37] Speaker 5: He didn't give shit.
[15:39] Speaker 3: You just said. I said it.
[15:41] Speaker 1: He said what went wrong. What went wrong is.
[15:44] Speaker 3: Emotional decision. Yeah, that's my.
[15:46] Speaker 1: I know, so I'm going back.
[15:48] Speaker 3: So if it's emotional.
[15:49] Speaker 5: Then you get hurt, and then from there, just been
[15:52] Speaker 5: bad after bad omen. That's what I'm saying. You probably
[15:55] Speaker 5: got to go to church, bro.
[15:57] Speaker 3: All of it. They need to cleanse that whole goddamn
[16:00] Speaker 3: locker room. You got to go to church.
[16:01] Speaker 1: Y'all need to sage that motherfucker.
[16:04] Speaker 5: When you start off with bad energy, it ends with
[16:06] Speaker 5: bad energy.
[16:07] Speaker 3: For real, for real.
[16:07] Speaker 1: I mean, Dallas is facing that, too, right now.
[16:10] Speaker 5: When you start off with bad energy, you finish with
[16:12] Speaker 5: bad energy.
[16:13] Speaker 1: Yeah. So I want to go back to something you said.
[16:15] Speaker 1: I mean, can we all on this couch agree PG
[16:17] Speaker 1: Hall of Famer? Because the chat seems to believe that
[16:19] Speaker 1: he's not a Hall of Famer, some people.
[16:21] Speaker 3: Yes, he's a Hall of Famer.
[16:22] Speaker 1: Okay, just.
[16:23] Speaker 3: First ballot? If he.
[16:27] Speaker 1: Should be, yeah.
[16:28] Speaker 5: Okay. I mean, he's still got to finish his career.
[16:31] Speaker 1: But where it stands right now, if his career ended today.
[16:34] Speaker 3: No, he wouldn't be... How many first teams?
[16:37] Speaker 1: Oh, I think one first team All-NBA, five third teams,
[16:39] Speaker 1: and then a couple all-defensive teams.
[16:42] Speaker 3: Gold medal. The way they ended.
[16:46] Speaker 2: The way this ended, he wouldn't be a Hall of
[16:50] Speaker 2: Famer right after. The way this season, if he stopped today,
[16:54] Speaker 2: he'd be a Hall of Famer. So, nine All-Stars, six
[16:56] Speaker 2: All-NBA teams. Nine All-Stars, six All-NBA teams, four All-DVLs.
[16:59] Speaker 3: I can't hear you.
[17:00] Speaker 1: I can't hear you.
[17:01] Speaker 3: I know what you're thinking. Nine All-Stars.
[17:12] Speaker 1: Six all-NBA selections, four all-defensive, two first-team, two second-team all-defensive.
[17:17] Speaker 3: Yeah. Gold medal.
[17:17] Speaker 1: Most improved player. It's five years from now, so, yeah,
[17:21] Speaker 1: he'll be first ballot.
[17:22] Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
[17:23] Speaker 1: And went to high school in Palmdale, which I think
[17:24] Speaker 1: has to mean something.
[17:25] Speaker 3: I just hope Derrick Rose is first ballot. All the
[17:28] Speaker 3: fame campaign.
[17:29] Speaker 5: What?
[17:30] Speaker 3: I just hope Derrick Rose is first ballot.
[17:31] Speaker 5: Okay.
[17:31] Speaker 1: All right, so what's the first ballot? That's five years?
[17:34] Speaker 4: That's all I want.
[17:35] Speaker 3: After you retire? After you retire. Oh, okay, okay. I agree.
[17:39] Speaker 3: I just hope the youngest MVP ever... It's four years now. Oh,
[17:42] Speaker 3: it's four years now? Oh, it's four years? Yeah, they
[17:43] Speaker 3: had to... They got to sell them tickets.
[17:46] Speaker 1: All right.
[17:46] Speaker 3: We need more big names in there. Four years after
[17:49] Speaker 3: you retire?
[17:50] Speaker 5: Ooh.
[17:52] Speaker 3: Shit, I might be a first ballot in this.
[17:55] Speaker 5: Huh?
[17:56] Speaker 1: What happened? So I got to remember, so whoever he
[17:58] Speaker 1: retires with, that's kind of like the group.
[18:01] Speaker 3: Do they retire teams? Like, my... Oh, so who you... Oh,
[18:04] Speaker 3: so who retires? Like, the Warriors? Yeah, it starts at
[18:07] Speaker 3: four years.
[18:07] Speaker 5: So most likely when he goes in, depending on who
[18:10] Speaker 5: he retires with, most likely it'll be.
[18:13] Speaker 1: Put in with someone who's from the past.
[18:17] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[18:17] Speaker 4: Okay.
[18:18] Speaker 1: He's a logjam of former players. Yeah, it'll be a log, yeah.
[18:20] Speaker 3: Right, gotcha.
[18:21] Speaker 1: Former Clippers as well. They'll be like, yeah, PG, Muggsy Bowles.
[18:27] Speaker 2: Right.
[18:28] Speaker 5: Latrell, Sprewell, Choke. Not Latrell.
[18:30] Speaker 6: And all those guys would be in the first ballot.
[18:34] Speaker 1: No, no, no.
[18:35] Speaker 5: Their ballot has been up. That might be 10 ballot.
[18:37] Speaker 5: That would be his first time.
[18:39] Speaker 1: Whoever retired the same season that he retired. Okay, okay, okay.
[18:43] Speaker 3: I get it. Okay.
[18:44] Speaker 5: So, like, how many people do they put?
[18:45] Speaker 4: It just depends.
[18:46] Speaker 3: Usually anywhere from, like, four to eight ranks.
[18:48] Speaker 5: So, basically, if LeBron, Steph, all these guys retired at
[18:52] Speaker 5: the same time he did, then, yeah, he probably won't
[18:55] Speaker 5: make it.
[18:55] Speaker 2: Gotcha.
[18:56] Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
[18:56] Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
[18:57] Speaker 5: Because they'll all be ready.
[19:00] Speaker 3: Up at the same time.
[19:02] Speaker 4: Okay.
[19:02] Speaker 1: So let's keep this moving, but there are reports that
[19:04] Speaker 1: the Sixers may be looking to move PG in the offseason.
[19:07] Speaker 5: Damn.
[19:07] Speaker 1: Just a year after he joined the roster to form
[19:10] Speaker 1: a big three with former MVP Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey.
[19:13] Speaker 1: But the gentleman on this couch, obviously high-level basketball knowledge.
[19:17] Speaker 1: Do you believe PG can turn it around next season,
[19:19] Speaker 1: and will it be with the Sixers?
[19:22] Speaker 3: Yeah, I do believe he can turn it around.
[19:23] Speaker 4: I mean, if you.
[19:25] Speaker 6: take care of your body this summer and really get right, yeah,
[19:27] Speaker 6: you can. I mean, I don't count him out just
[19:30] Speaker 6: because he is a proven player. At the end of
[19:33] Speaker 6: the day, he's still, you know, he can still play
[19:35] Speaker 6: and he can still defend and he can still do
[19:37] Speaker 6: his thing.
[19:37] Speaker 3: It's just he got to take care of his body
[19:39] Speaker 3: to me.
[19:40] Speaker 2: I think he got to learn how to get his
[19:41] Speaker 2: old man game. He's still stuck on young PG, tween, tween,
[19:49] Speaker 2: pulling up three.
[19:50] Speaker 1: Step backs.
[19:50] Speaker 2: I think he got to learn how to adjust to
[19:54] Speaker 2: getting easy points.
[19:55] Speaker 3: What's old man game?
[19:56] Speaker 2: You got to get what the defense give you.
[20:00] Speaker 3: The block?
[20:00] Speaker 1: Yeah, nah.
[20:02] Speaker 2: Get in that corner sometimes, quick moves. People rushing at you,
[20:07] Speaker 2: you know, quick moves. You can't sit there and dribble
[20:10] Speaker 2: and think this slow shit gonna work on some young legs.
[20:15] Speaker 4: So, like, 12, 15-foot? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[20:18] Speaker 3: Get to that block post up.
[20:19] Speaker 2: Because he could adjust to being, what, 3'4, you know?
[20:24] Speaker 2: You know, that's how they're doing it.
[20:26] Speaker 1: He's 6'8.
[20:27] Speaker 3: LeBron did it. You think it's over?
[20:33] Speaker 4: I think he just needs to figure out his why.
[20:36] Speaker 3: His what? His why. His why? Yeah.
[20:40] Speaker 4: Why I'm doing this shit still.
[20:42] Speaker 3: This some KD shit. Why KD? Why, why, why?
[20:45] Speaker 4: Like if I'm not trying to win a championship, I'm
[20:48] Speaker 4: not chasing that on no specific goal, you're showing everybody
[20:52] Speaker 4: your why is just kind of up in the air.
[20:55] Speaker 1: You don't think you got a goal?
[20:56] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[20:57] Speaker 4: I'm saying I think if you refocus a goal or...
[21:01] Speaker 4: or change it, it shows everybody else that that energy
[21:04] Speaker 4: is going to go somewhere else.
[21:05] Speaker 3: Because the energy going right now is going towards one way.
[21:08] Speaker 3: I think his goal is to win the championship. He
[21:10] Speaker 3: said it. Yeah, I think he said it. Does it
[21:13] Speaker 3: look like that?
[21:14] Speaker 5: No.
[21:14] Speaker 4: It don't look like that. So a lot of people
[21:16] Speaker 4: say things that don't look like that.
[21:19] Speaker 3: So you think with this time, you think he should rehab?
[21:22] Speaker 6: Like be able to take, I mean, the only way
[21:23] Speaker 6: you're going to be able to prove that is if
[21:25] Speaker 6: you're healthy.
[21:27] Speaker 4: I mean, he said he stopped the podcast to focus
[21:29] Speaker 4: on team success.
[21:30] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[21:31] Speaker 3: He wasn't hurt when he said that.
[21:34] Speaker 4: So now he's injured and he want to focus on
[21:38] Speaker 4: his injury. So you're going to pick up podcasting again?
[21:41] Speaker 5: Yes.
[21:42] Speaker 3: You're doing that? You should. You know what I'm saying?
[21:45] Speaker 4: So it's like you got to find your identity again.
[21:47] Speaker 4: Like who are you, the basketball player or the podcaster?
[21:52] Speaker 3: Should he film his journey, though, since he got the podcast?
[21:54] Speaker 6: Wouldn't that, I mean, you still, I mean, the cameras
[21:57] Speaker 6: being there and filming with your journey.
[21:59] Speaker 5: Should it?
[22:00] Speaker 3: Should you? Would that be a distraction?
[22:03] Speaker 1: No. Would it make you work harder?
[22:06] Speaker 3: No.
[22:07] Speaker 4: Just get down there in that cave by yourself one time.
[22:11] Speaker 4: Just grind it out and come back to the surface
[22:13] Speaker 4: and let everybody know what it is. You got to
[22:15] Speaker 4: show nobody, tell nobody. So you say he don't need
[22:18] Speaker 4: it because he got the money. He got the fame,
[22:21] Speaker 4: he got everything. Right now it's about proving something to himself.
[22:24] Speaker 4: He's got to prove nothing to us.
[22:26] Speaker 1: He's got about six or seven months to do that, obviously,
[22:28] Speaker 1: being shut down for this season and looking ahead to
[22:29] Speaker 1: next season. Three years remaining on his deal, got a
[22:32] Speaker 1: player option in last year. I think it's about $ 160
[22:34] Speaker 1: million that he's owed. If you were another team around
[22:36] Speaker 1: the league... You're not paying for that.
[22:38] Speaker 3: Would you.
[22:40] Speaker 2: Don't you think he's got to stop listening to the
[22:42] Speaker 2: media and shit? Like, say, fuck it. Like, he listens
[22:47] Speaker 2: to everything. Like, man, people told him to stop podcasting.
[22:52] Speaker 2: You hear rumblings of it, he stopped.
[22:54] Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's why he should.
[22:55] Speaker 3: They go to Philly. He went to Philly. Inside.
[22:58] Speaker 4: When you dig deep, when.
[23:00] Speaker 2: You go to that dark place, he went to that
[23:04] Speaker 2: dark place in the injury.
[23:05] Speaker 4: I remember talking to him after the injury. He came back.
[23:08] Speaker 4: He was like, man, I thought I was done. So
[23:11] Speaker 4: he battled all the way back. Got to OKC. Had
[23:15] Speaker 4: that big season at OKC. Felt back to himself. Go
[23:19] Speaker 4: to the Clippers.
[23:20] Speaker 3: You know, they.
[23:21] Speaker 4: They couldn't stay healthy. So that fuck with your mind, too,
[23:24] Speaker 4: when you're trying to figure it out. You know what
[23:25] Speaker 4: I'm saying? So now he's moved to this next chapter
[23:29] Speaker 4: where he's more successful and it feels better with the
[23:32] Speaker 4: podcast than it does trying to chase a championship. And
[23:34] Speaker 4: I'm not speaking for him, but that's what it looked like.
[23:37] Speaker 4: It looked like that because the podcast is more successful,
[23:40] Speaker 4: like I said, than the team is. So it's like
[23:43] Speaker 4: you got to recalibrate everything. I think you should film
[23:48] Speaker 4: his rehab. A journey where we can actually see, like,
[23:51] Speaker 4: what he go through every day.
[23:53] Speaker 2: If it would be out there, he'd get easier shots, too.
[23:57] Speaker 2: So I think that would prolong his career, too. So
[23:59] Speaker 2: I think everybody got to be on the floor.
[24:02] Speaker 4: Is it fair for us to say, though, that sometimes we...
[24:06] Speaker 4: don't notice that they're on a decline at a certain age.
[24:09] Speaker 2: We don't want to, I believe that even though they
[24:12] Speaker 2: put up a lot on him.
[24:14] Speaker 4: Even though they put up similar numbers, like Katie's putting
[24:16] Speaker 4: up numbers, but we still see that you can see
[24:19] Speaker 4: a decline, but he still can do it. I think 35,
[24:22] Speaker 4: I didn't want to say it's like these dudes not
[24:25] Speaker 4: moving the same. Everybody look older.
[24:27] Speaker 5: Why?
[24:27] Speaker 4: All of them look kind of, you know, look a
[24:29] Speaker 4: step slow and you still can get, cause you're smarter.
[24:33] Speaker 4: You know, we like, you smarter, you can go get it,
[24:34] Speaker 4: but it don't look the same. We're giving you this
[24:36] Speaker 4: much money with this expectation. So the critics are going
[24:40] Speaker 4: to look harsher because we like, yo, we just gave
[24:43] Speaker 4: you 50 mil, bro.
[24:44] Speaker 3: You got to give us more than this.
[24:46] Speaker 4: But if you say that, are you hating?
[24:48] Speaker 3: Yeah. But I'm me. I'm a hater. Not you. I'm me.
[24:55] Speaker 4: Not some shit that's hate.
[24:56] Speaker 3: What you think, Gil? You've been in a situation.
[24:58] Speaker 6: I put some hate on it. But somebody averaging, bro.
[25:01] Speaker 6: I don't think it's hate. It's just you seeing the game.
[25:04] Speaker 6: It's a decline.
[25:05] Speaker 4: It's nice.
[25:05] Speaker 1: But as we point out, PG will be 35 in May.
[25:07] Speaker 1: Like I said, three more years on that deal, two
[25:10] Speaker 1: plus a player option.
[25:12] Speaker 6: No, I mean, I get taking the money, the 212,
[25:15] Speaker 6: at 34.
[25:15] Speaker 1: So this side, you say, hey, take the bread, worry
[25:20] Speaker 1: about all the other stuff later. Yeah. He said he
[25:23] Speaker 1: took it. He took the bread. But as a general
[25:28] Speaker 1: principle and rule for life.
[25:34] Speaker 3: Give me my money.
[25:36] Speaker 1: So we asked the chat, is PG a Hall of Famer? 59%
[25:40] Speaker 1: of the chat says no.
[25:42] Speaker 3: Really?
[25:44] Speaker 5: No. Well, I guess they're going to be very upset
[25:49] Speaker 5: when he retires and then it says Hall of Fame.
[25:54] Speaker 5: It's not about your feelings. It's all about accolades. Do
[25:57] Speaker 5: you have enough accolades to get you into.
[25:59] Speaker 3: The Hall of Fame?
[26:00] Speaker 4: He's a Hall of Fame.
[26:01] Speaker 1: He has more than enough accolades to be able to
[26:03] Speaker 1: accomplish it.
[26:04] Speaker 3: It ain't about what your feelings are.
[26:06] Speaker 1: It's about accolades, and his accolades is first ballot. I
[26:13] Speaker 1: think pretty easy, close to 19,000 points, 5,600 rebounds, 3,300 assists, yeah.
[26:17] Speaker 1: Career averages of 21, 6, and 4, nine All-Star games.
[26:19] Speaker 1: All right.
[26:26] Speaker 2: I think it was about to be his lead before
[26:28] Speaker 2: he got hurt, right? It was about to be his lead.
[26:31] Speaker 1: So let's talk about another element going on with the Sixers.
[26:35] Speaker 1: President Daryl Morey is taking some heat for some of
[26:38] Speaker 1: his decisions, but he revealed that he consults AI and
[26:42] Speaker 1: not Allen Iverson, artificial intelligence, to aid in some of
[26:45] Speaker 1: his decision-making. In a recent interview with Pablo Torre, Morey said,
[26:48] Speaker 1: we absolutely use AI models as a vote in any
[26:52] Speaker 1: decision made. So are you guys cool with Daryl Moore
[26:54] Speaker 1: using AI as one of the factors to make personnel
[26:57] Speaker 1: decisions with the Sixers?
[27:04] Speaker 3: Really think about it.
[27:07] Speaker 5: Personnel, like as in players or people that work for them?
[27:10] Speaker 3: I think player decisions, moves the team makes. Damn. This
[27:15] Speaker 3: is the world we're in? It makes sense. You can
[27:18] Speaker 3: see it. The logic is undeniable. You can see it
[27:20] Speaker 3: in what's going on. You can see it, but.
[27:24] Speaker 3: Man, it's a crazy world we live in now. So
[27:30] Speaker 3: he drafts off of AI, huh? I don't think.
[27:35] Speaker 1: A complete usage of AI, but yeah, in terms of
[27:38] Speaker 1: making any decision with the organization, they consult AI models,
[27:42] Speaker 1: try to use technology, get all technological, if you will.
[27:48] Speaker 1: So I just want to just ask, when.
[27:53] Speaker 5: Did you talk to the AI when PG got hurt
[27:57] Speaker 5: at the beginning and then you wasn't playing Embiid in preseason?
[28:02] Speaker 5: Did you actually talk to the AI and say, should
[28:04] Speaker 5: I shut the asses down today?
[28:06] Speaker 3: And then just say, fuck the season. Because if AI
[28:09] Speaker 3: was smart.
[28:10] Speaker 5: He would have told you, shut him down right now.
[28:13] Speaker 2: Bad year.
[28:14] Speaker 3: Just let it go.
[28:15] Speaker 5: But obviously your AI did not tell you that because
[28:17] Speaker 5: you kept playing and playing and playing and playing, fucking up.
[28:21] Speaker 5: Everybody got fucked up. They got fucked up more than
[28:24] Speaker 5: I was. You got to get a whole robot leg
[28:26] Speaker 5: to play next year. Your AI didn't prevent you from that.
[28:29] Speaker 5: When I clearly said as a human being. You can
[28:32] Speaker 5: look and say, you know what, if this is the
[28:34] Speaker 5: problem you have today, you might as well shut them
[28:36] Speaker 5: down and just get ready for next season.
[28:38] Speaker 1: A robot leg?
[28:39] Speaker 5: They said MB got to cut off.
[28:41] Speaker 1: Half his hip.
[28:42] Speaker 2: That's the type of shit he want, though.
[28:43] Speaker 5: Cut off half his.
[28:44] Speaker 1: Head, give him the robot joint, right? That's Nick.
[28:47] Speaker 2: I am robot. Come on, dog.
[28:51] Speaker 3: I robot, I am legend. Two great things.
[28:54] Speaker 5: Preseason started, I told you, hey, man, shut them two down, man.
[28:58] Speaker 3: Let it go.
[28:58] Speaker 1: Do you feel like the real AI would have told
[29:00] Speaker 1: him the same thing?
[29:01] Speaker 3: A real human would have said that. No, the real AI.
[29:03] Speaker 5: Because I'm pretty sure he wasn't asking an AI the
[29:06] Speaker 5: right questions.
[29:08] Speaker 1: Let's see.
[29:08] Speaker 3: Robot leg. I use AI, too. Trust me.
[29:11] Speaker 5: I wrap it all the way around. I go in
[29:14] Speaker 5: and out of it and in and out.
[29:15] Speaker 3: Yeah. So you should have used chat DMP. You're going to.
[29:21] Speaker 4: Be one of them with that.
[29:22] Speaker 3: No, it's good. Look, listen.
[29:24] Speaker 4: Isn't AI the same as, like, Data, analytics, stats.
[29:28] Speaker 3: Yeah, analytics, data. I think I would put that all.
[29:30] Speaker 3: Is it the same? I could plug it into the program.
[29:32] Speaker 3: Same guy. Same name. Just referencing them. Different, right? AI, stats.
[29:38] Speaker 3: So don't use stats? No, you use stats. You said
[29:42] Speaker 3: stats or facts. It's a baseline.
[29:44] Speaker 5: You're talking about a human being if you're going to
[29:46] Speaker 5: bring them on your team or not bring them on
[29:47] Speaker 5: your team.
[29:48] Speaker 3: Yeah, the stats.
[29:49] Speaker 5: The stats are going to determine that. That's what they've
[29:51] Speaker 5: been doing. Playing energy, it'll tell you all of that.
[29:53] Speaker 5: Injury prone, it should give you all of that energy.
[29:57] Speaker 5: So you should have a baseline and give you a
[29:59] Speaker 5: percentage on should you take a risk for this guy
[30:02] Speaker 5: because of what all the data says. And then you
[30:06] Speaker 5: have to still make a decision on, like, does he
[30:09] Speaker 5: have heart? What is his, like, because the AI can't
[30:13] Speaker 5: tell you that.
[30:13] Speaker 2: Can't tell you if he's a good locker room guy,
[30:16] Speaker 2: his emotions.
[30:19] Speaker 5: I can't tell you if a motherfucker, you'll start a player,
[30:21] Speaker 5: eat 22 hamburgers before a game.
[30:23] Speaker 3: They don't do that.
[30:24] Speaker 5: You know what I mean? You got to use your
[30:27] Speaker 5: motherfucking eyes for that.
[30:28] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[30:29] Speaker 3: Shit. So, but do you think you got to find
[30:32] Speaker 3: some balance?
[30:32] Speaker 1: I mean, look, people have incorporated artificial intelligence to all
[30:35] Speaker 1: facets of their life. Now, find some balance. I'll just
[30:37] Speaker 1: give you an example. I use Waze. Waze will give
[30:39] Speaker 1: me direction sometimes, but I know the road better than Waze,
[30:41] Speaker 1: so I know I can't make that left there because
[30:43] Speaker 1: it's going to jam me up. I can just whoop
[30:45] Speaker 1: around and save three minutes on the trip.
[30:47] Speaker 3: I just can't wait.
[30:47] Speaker 2: For you to start making, like, the AI work, you know,
[30:50] Speaker 2: like the movies.
[30:51] Speaker 1: Oh, you know the movies. The girls.
[30:53] Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
[30:53] Speaker 3: The work? Like, you know, the robots.
[30:55] Speaker 1: No, artificial intelligence. Not Allen Iverson. The one true AI.
[31:01] Speaker 4: He's just talking about stats.
[31:03] Speaker 3: He's just talking about stats. The work? You use AI
[31:06] Speaker 3: for the work.
[31:08] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[31:08] Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about, like, the movies when they start making, like,
[31:10] Speaker 2: the robot ladies and shit.
[31:12] Speaker 3: I just can't wait to that. They already have that
[31:15] Speaker 3: about 2,500.
[31:16] Speaker 2: It was just Alexa. That's all it is, bro. But
[31:20] Speaker 2: with a face, though. She ain't got a face.
[31:22] Speaker 4: It's not real. She'll be real.
[31:25] Speaker 1: In a moment.
[31:25] Speaker 4: Just talking to her phone.
[31:27] Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to see how he uses it. That's all.
[31:30] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[31:31] Speaker 3: I mean, it's a part of life now.
[31:33] Speaker 1: It's great, but it's just a baseline. But my point
[31:37] Speaker 1: is it doesn't sound good now because of how the
[31:39] Speaker 1: Sixers season has played out if it had been the
[31:41] Speaker 1: opposite and we'd be saying this.
[31:43] Speaker 2: Can't he just talk to his players? What's wrong with
[31:46] Speaker 2: talking to them? Can't he talk to them? They talk
[31:48] Speaker 2: to everything but the actual players. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[31:52] Speaker 1: Like, how do I make y'all lives easy?
[31:55] Speaker 3: Like, it's weird. This shit is crazy, bro.
[31:59] Speaker 1: Are they scared to talk to the players? Like, you
[32:02] Speaker 1: can't go and ask them to.
[32:03] Speaker 3: Be the PG, what I got to do. What I
[32:06] Speaker 3: got to do. How about this? How about this? Do
[32:09] Speaker 3: a board, right? This is simple. This is simple, right?
[32:13] Speaker 5: Hey, players, look, I'm trying to make y'all lives better.
[32:16] Speaker 5: Can y'all all write down something on a list that
[32:19] Speaker 5: y'all need from us as the organization to improve y'all
[32:23] Speaker 5: experience here?
[32:26] Speaker 1: Give me a whole.
[32:27] Speaker 5: Bunch of negatives that I need to clean up and
[32:28] Speaker 5: give me a whole bunch of things that you want, right?
[32:31] Speaker 5: Don't put your name on it so I can look
[32:32] Speaker 5: at the list.
[32:34] Speaker 1: That's it.
[32:35] Speaker 5: So now I can see, okay, they want these things
[32:39] Speaker 5: in the locker room, right? Okay, this is what we do.
[32:41] Speaker 3: They don't want this anymore.
[32:43] Speaker 5: So y'all can function better as a team, right? At
[32:46] Speaker 5: the end of the day, you still are the product
[32:50] Speaker 5: that I need. to perform very well, which means I
[32:54] Speaker 5: need to cater. I really do need to cater to you. Mentally, physically,
[32:59] Speaker 5: I really do. So if you say you need fucking
[33:00] Speaker 5: two jacuzzis, God damn it, I got to bring in
[33:02] Speaker 5: two fucking jacuzzis.
[33:03] Speaker 3: But I just paid you millions of dollars.
[33:05] Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm about to say, but the NBA has always provided.
[33:08] Speaker 1: Then you're a bad businessman.
[33:11] Speaker 3: Because I got to do extra shit after paying you?
[33:13] Speaker 7: Yeah.
[33:14] Speaker 1: No, no, no.
[33:14] Speaker 3: You ever bought a car before?
[33:15] Speaker 1: No, but since then.
[33:16] Speaker 3: Do you do extra shit called insurance? Gas. But guilt.
[33:20] Speaker 1: No, insurance. Insurance protects you from.
[33:23] Speaker 4: Being a bad driver.
[33:24] Speaker 2: Yes.
[33:25] Speaker 5: So I'm going to protect myself and my investment that
[33:29] Speaker 5: I invested in you guys with protection. If you go
[33:32] Speaker 5: out and you need a bodyguard, I'll get you your bodyguard.
[33:36] Speaker 5: If you need a driver, I'll get you a driver.
[33:38] Speaker 5: It's still my investment. I got $ 600, $ 700 million here. Embiid,
[33:43] Speaker 5: if you don't want to buy a chef, you don't
[33:46] Speaker 5: want to spend money, then fuck it, I'm going to
[33:47] Speaker 5: do it.
[33:48] Speaker 3: Yeah, but don't you have to earn that?
[33:49] Speaker 4: No.
[33:49] Speaker 5: By winning, right? The fuck I need to know?
[33:52] Speaker 6: But I'm paying you a million dollars and you're not
[33:54] Speaker 6: even showing me what you can do?
[33:55] Speaker 3: So I'm just going to cater.
[33:56] Speaker 1: To you already?
[33:57] Speaker 5: Bro.
[34:00] Speaker 3: What did you eat as a rookie? What did I
[34:02] Speaker 3: eat as a rookie? What did you eat as a rookie?
[34:05] Speaker 1: Uh.
[34:05] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm, shit. Yeah.
[34:06] Speaker 5: I mean.
[34:07] Speaker 3: Fast food. No, not fast food.
[34:09] Speaker 1: I was eating good. You know, I came from Italy.
[34:12] Speaker 1: Come on now, you know I had some etiquette. So
[34:15] Speaker 1: I paid you millions for you to do whatever you
[34:17] Speaker 1: was going to do.
[34:18] Speaker 3: You had a salary for it.
[34:19] Speaker 5: Right?
[34:20] Speaker 3: Bring your friends, eat whatever you want.
[34:22] Speaker 5: I already paid you millions for you to do that.
[34:24] Speaker 5: You don't know how to take care of yourself yet.
[34:27] Speaker 5: You don't know how to be a professional. The owner's
[34:29] Speaker 5: been rich for a long time.
[34:32] Speaker 3: These guys are just getting their money.
[34:34] Speaker 5: They don't know what the fuck is going on. How
[34:37] Speaker 5: long did it take you for you to decorate your
[34:39] Speaker 5: whole house? Be honest.
[34:41] Speaker 4: Shit, shit, probably when I got, probably my next deal.
[34:44] Speaker 5: Your next deal?
[34:45] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[34:45] Speaker 5: So you bought a house, didn't decorate the whole motherfucker
[34:47] Speaker 5: until you got it.
[34:48] Speaker 3: We, because we don't know that.
[34:49] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[34:50] Speaker 1: Right, we just go up to the biggest house, we
[34:51] Speaker 1: got two rooms done.
[34:53] Speaker 3: Right, for sure.
[34:53] Speaker 5: But those, but those are the things that we don't know.
[34:56] Speaker 5: We have the money, but we don't know how to.
[34:58] Speaker 6: So shouldn't, so shouldn't, okay, so shouldn't college get you prepared?
[35:02] Speaker 4: Bro, that sounds wild. But it's, It's not.
[35:05] Speaker 2: If he has room. No, no, I mean, no, no, no.
[35:08] Speaker 6: Listen, I hear both sides, but I feel like, but
[35:10] Speaker 6: I still feel like, bro, you got to earn it.
[35:13] Speaker 4: You didn't have a furnace joint when you went to
[35:15] Speaker 4: the league?
[35:16] Speaker 2: No, no, for sure.
[35:16] Speaker 5: Yes, it was.
[35:17] Speaker 4: What the fuck, bro?
[35:18] Speaker 5: Yeah, I had it.
[35:21] Speaker 2: 95% room.
[35:22] Speaker 6: No, no, somebody came in. No, somebody came in and
[35:24] Speaker 6: did it for me. But it wasn't like how I, no,
[35:26] Speaker 6: what he's saying, it wasn't like how I won it.
[35:28] Speaker 6: But somebody, when I got to my place in Milwaukee, oh, yeah,
[35:30] Speaker 6: I had everything in there. But it wasn't how I
[35:32] Speaker 6: won it.
[35:33] Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
[35:34] Speaker 4: I didn't get to do my shit, but it was done.
[35:36] Speaker 3: It was fly. It was shit, dude.
[35:38] Speaker 4: It was shit, for sure. All that. I got into
[35:41] Speaker 4: my account, and everybody like, look, you got to go
[35:44] Speaker 4: do this shit. Even your agent's going to tell you
[35:46] Speaker 4: to go get this shit.
[35:47] Speaker 3: For sure. Got that shit, and we're home.
[35:49] Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure.
[35:50] Speaker 3: I mean, my agent, Bill Duffy, did it.
[35:51] Speaker 2: For sure.
[35:52] Speaker 4: You got a top agent, for sure.
[35:53] Speaker 3: Big ass mansion, yeah.
[35:55] Speaker 6: No, I had a townhouse, and when I got in there,
[35:58] Speaker 6: all my furniture, everything, all I had to do was.
[35:59] Speaker 3: Put my clothes down.
[36:00] Speaker 5: Ping pong table in the living room.
[36:02] Speaker 1: Yeah, no.
[36:04] Speaker 6: But I just feel like you're catering to them and
[36:08] Speaker 6: they're not even... Like, I'm paying you a million dollars
[36:10] Speaker 6: and now I got.
[36:10] Speaker 3: To take care of you again.
[36:11] Speaker 1: It's like, well, shit, I don't have to wait.
[36:13] Speaker 3: I could just.
[36:14] Speaker 4: No, hey, fuck it.
[36:15] Speaker 6: Like, you're not giving them a goal or nothing. Because,
[36:19] Speaker 6: like you said, with Joe Wizard's owner, right, he said, Gil,
[36:21] Speaker 6: if you can come in here and change it, I'll
[36:23] Speaker 6: give you whatever you want. You had to go in
[36:24] Speaker 6: there and change it and make sure that Jordan didn't exist.
[36:27] Speaker 2: And what you did, right?
[36:28] Speaker 1: So now, what do you get?
[36:30] Speaker 5: You asked me to do something for you, right? This
[36:33] Speaker 5: is what you want to do. So I see the
[36:35] Speaker 5: flaws in the organization.
[36:37] Speaker 3: Hey, um... We should have a chef.
[36:40] Speaker 4: But you're doing it though.
[36:41] Speaker 5: What I'm saying is, we haven't won yet. He asked me,
[36:45] Speaker 5: I said, we need a chef.
[36:46] Speaker 1: He's like, why?
[36:47] Speaker 5: I said, none of us eat before practice. We just
[36:50] Speaker 5: wake up and then come here. So we're going on fumes.
[36:53] Speaker 5: And then when we leave here, we're going to McDonald's
[36:54] Speaker 5: and stuff like that. Wouldn't it be better for you
[36:56] Speaker 5: to have food for us? And then we need a
[36:59] Speaker 5: player lounge. What do you need a player lounge for?
[37:01] Speaker 5: Because one.
[37:03] Speaker 3: this room will be set up better than any.
[37:05] Speaker 5: Of our houses right now. So you put pool table,
[37:08] Speaker 5: you know, this little area, we stay here longer. We
[37:12] Speaker 5: don't want to just go back home to do nothing,
[37:14] Speaker 5: go to an empty house. You stay here, there's video games,
[37:16] Speaker 5: there's a TV, there's a movie thing, there's drinks, there's
[37:19] Speaker 5: food right here. It makes us stay in the gym longer.
[37:22] Speaker 5: And he thought about it and he said, granted, what
[37:24] Speaker 5: ended up happening? motherfuckers start staying out to practice longer, hour,
[37:29] Speaker 5: two hour. Some of the motherfuckers is living there, bringing
[37:31] Speaker 5: the work in there, everything.
[37:33] Speaker 3: But it kept them in the gym.
[37:34] Speaker 5: And then them being in the gym longer, they start
[37:37] Speaker 5: shooting longer, they wasn't quick to leave.
[37:39] Speaker 2: So you still have to.
[37:41] Speaker 6: It's like any business. But you asked that when you
[37:43] Speaker 6: had the leverage, though. You didn't just ask that right away.
[37:45] Speaker 6: You had to start, you was hooping, right?
[37:48] Speaker 5: No, we won 20-something games.
[37:49] Speaker 1: I got hurt in this.
[37:51] Speaker 4: You was hooping.
[37:51] Speaker 5: It was after my first year.
[37:54] Speaker 4: With the Wizards.
[37:55] Speaker 5: Yeah, my first year I got hurt that summer, that's
[37:57] Speaker 5: what I asked for.
[37:58] Speaker 3: Did they pay you already?
[37:59] Speaker 1: Yeah, they paid me to go there. Okay.
[38:01] Speaker 3: Okay.
[38:01] Speaker 2: So you earned that.
[38:02] Speaker 3: So now you can.
[38:03] Speaker 2: Come in and... What?
[38:04] Speaker 1: What?
[38:04] Speaker 4: No, I'm just saying, a rookie... No, a rookie is
[38:07] Speaker 4: not going to come in.
[38:07] Speaker 1: This is my first time not going to the playoffs.
[38:10] Speaker 6: What I'm saying is... But you have a business, right?
[38:13] Speaker 4: I know, but what I'm saying is you have the
[38:14] Speaker 4: leverage is what I'm saying. But what I'm saying, you still.
[38:17] Speaker 3: Step onto the business side. Okay.
[38:19] Speaker 1: Tough crowd. Yeah.
[38:20] Speaker 3: A great brand.
[38:21] Speaker 1: Are you going to not protect your investment?
[38:24] Speaker 3: Of course I am.
[38:25] Speaker 5: It's your investment, so you're going to protect it. These
[38:28] Speaker 5: are their investments. If you're dumb enough to just let
[38:33] Speaker 5: your money go out there and do what the fuck
[38:35] Speaker 5: it wants to do, then that's you as an owner.
[38:37] Speaker 5: But the smart owners, the winning owners, protect their investment.
[38:41] Speaker 5: That's the difference. Right. Orlando.
[38:44] Speaker 4: Right.
[38:45] Speaker 5: I don't want y'all to spend money on food. I
[38:47] Speaker 5: don't know what the fuck y'all eat out here. So
[38:48] Speaker 5: we're going to have breakfast. We're going to have lunch.
[38:52] Speaker 5: We're going to have pregame. We're going to have dinner.
[38:54] Speaker 1: Right.
[38:54] Speaker 5: So he knows. Right.
[38:55] Speaker 1: He knows you are going to be eating right.
[38:58] Speaker 5: I can take care of that. Right.
[39:00] Speaker 3: That's investment in your. Yeah.
[39:03] Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, yeah, I mean, I mean, it's
[39:05] Speaker 4: the rest.
[39:05] Speaker 5: I know you're a partier. I'm going to make sure
[39:07] Speaker 5: to to. To save the face of my franchise, I
[39:12] Speaker 5: can't have my face out here getting drunk, people taking
[39:15] Speaker 5: pictures of him. So I'm going to personally spend my
[39:18] Speaker 5: own money to have somebody watch you, protect you.
[39:20] Speaker 1: The Lakers did that. Bodyguard.
[39:22] Speaker 5: You're a bodyguard now. My bodyguard is bodyguarding you.
[39:25] Speaker 3: The Lakers did that pool. Yeah, but.
[39:28] Speaker 6: But what I'm saying, it don't matter. But everybody can't
[39:31] Speaker 6: get that leverage, though, Gil.
[39:33] Speaker 3: It ain't leverage.
[39:33] Speaker 1: This is not leverage.
[39:34] Speaker 4: I'm going to say, you can't protect.
[39:37] Speaker 6: Every player on your team ain't going to be able
[39:38] Speaker 6: to get the same shit.
[39:40] Speaker 4: There's no way.
[39:41] Speaker 3: Like Royce White.
[39:42] Speaker 4: Royce White couldn't.
[39:44] Speaker 3: Get that treatment. He was with Houston. He had anxiety.
[39:48] Speaker 4: And they wouldn't give him special treatment. And it fucked
[39:51] Speaker 4: him up. And he never recovered. Special treatment, what?
[39:55] Speaker 5: Drive?
[39:55] Speaker 3: Drive the teams? Drive the cities? Drive the cities. And
[39:58] Speaker 3: he didn't want to fly.
[39:59] Speaker 1: Drive the cities?
[40:01] Speaker 3: They just wouldn't.
[40:01] Speaker 4: It became a conflict because he refused to fly.
[40:07] Speaker 2: So catering to the... What do you do in that situation?
[40:10] Speaker 2: You let him drive, right?
[40:11] Speaker 3: You got to cater to him, right?
[40:14] Speaker 1: No, I don't. I really don't.
[40:16] Speaker 4: So why are you saying cater... Why are you saying
[40:18] Speaker 4: cater to him now? If you're saying you don't have
[40:20] Speaker 4: to cater to him.
[40:21] Speaker 3: I said protect your investment.
[40:22] Speaker 4: This is your investment. Roy's right. You're saying no, don't
[40:25] Speaker 4: cater to the dude with anxiety.
[40:27] Speaker 3: So I'm supposed to drive him?
[40:28] Speaker 4: You're supposed to do whatever. You're supposed to spend and
[40:31] Speaker 4: do whatever that you're saying that Brandon's arguing about right now.
[40:34] Speaker 4: He's arguing. Listen, you're catering to the player.
[40:38] Speaker 2: They gave him counseling?
[40:40] Speaker 3: No, bro.
[40:41] Speaker 2: They did. And after that, There's nothing you can do.
[40:44] Speaker 3: No, bro.
[40:44] Speaker 2: If you go to.
[40:45] Speaker 4: Council, what else you do? He made a big thing
[40:47] Speaker 4: about it.
[40:48] Speaker 3: He made a big thing about it.
[40:49] Speaker 4: The NBA refused to cater to him.
[40:52] Speaker 1: You know how stupid it sounds. We play in Miami.
[40:55] Speaker 5: Today, and then we got to go to goddamn L.A.
[40:58] Speaker 2: I'm supposed to have my player drive.
[41:01] Speaker 3: Why do I have to hire a security?
[41:03] Speaker 4: But I got to hire security for you to go
[41:05] Speaker 4: out and fucking get drunk, nigga?
[41:06] Speaker 2: You niggas don't make.
[41:08] Speaker 3: No sense to me.
[41:10] Speaker 4: We talking about driving a dude from this state to
[41:12] Speaker 4: this state because he has anxiety.
[41:14] Speaker 5: I play the moral.
[41:15] Speaker 3: That's a mental illness.
[41:17] Speaker 4: The dude that you're talking about getting security for because
[41:20] Speaker 4: he want to party has a fucking... Alcohol problem.
[41:24] Speaker 1: No, why you have an alcohol problem?
[41:25] Speaker 2: He want to fucking go party and drink.
[41:27] Speaker 4: So why you got to have security? Why I got
[41:29] Speaker 4: to use money for security? Yeah, shit happens.
[41:31] Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
[41:32] Speaker 1: Shit happens when you.
[41:33] Speaker 4: When my guy will flip out on the plane because
[41:35] Speaker 4: he has anxiety, we need to drive him. That's the
[41:38] Speaker 4: same type of investment. Why you can't drive?
[41:41] Speaker 5: Can someone Google, we played a day in Miami.
[41:44] Speaker 1: We played a Mar-a-Lago. Can somebody tell me how long
[41:47] Speaker 1: that fucking drive is? Because I'm pretty sure he's not
[41:49] Speaker 1: going to make it there in time.
[41:50] Speaker 4: Or a train, or a train.
[41:52] Speaker 2: Or a train.
[41:52] Speaker 1: No, no, no.
[41:54] Speaker 2: That's fine.
[41:55] Speaker 5: Can you tell me how long that train ride is?
[41:57] Speaker 2: He might have to.
[41:59] Speaker 4: Leave a couple days early.
[42:00] Speaker 2: A couple days?
[42:00] Speaker 5: We play today! We play the game.
[42:03] Speaker 2: Back to back.
[42:04] Speaker 5: Do I say fuck this game and then just fly
[42:06] Speaker 5: him over there because I.
[42:06] Speaker 4: Need him in L.A.? Make it make sense. Do you
[42:08] Speaker 4: cater to him?
[42:09] Speaker 1: What do you do?
[42:10] Speaker 4: No, no.
[42:10] Speaker 2: You make it make sense.
[42:11] Speaker 4: How do you cater to him?
[42:12] Speaker 5: You're saying you want to cater to these dudes.
[42:14] Speaker 1: How do you.
[42:15] Speaker 4: Make it make sense to cater to them? It's your investment, right?
[42:18] Speaker 1: No, no.
[42:19] Speaker 4: You just did all this yelling about your investment.
[42:22] Speaker 2: That you can't cater to now.
[42:24] Speaker 4: How can you cater to somebody that don't fly?
[42:26] Speaker 2: Dude, you just drafted him.
[42:28] Speaker 3: I'm trying to see, though.
[42:29] Speaker 1: 39 hours.
[42:29] Speaker 4: And now you're saying you don't want to.
[42:31] Speaker 2: Cater to him. But how do you cater to that, though?
[42:33] Speaker 2: You give him a guarantee. You have to figure it out.
[42:35] Speaker 2: Hold on. No, no, no, no.
[42:36] Speaker 4: With the money that you said you was going to spend.
[42:38] Speaker 2: With the money you said you was going to spend.
[42:40] Speaker 2: You buy a flying car. No, you're going to do
[42:42] Speaker 2: whatever you got to do.
[42:43] Speaker 1: All right, so it's 30.
[42:45] Speaker 4: You just said you have millionaires.
[42:47] Speaker 5: Spend millions of dollars.
[42:48] Speaker 4: Who? Spend millions of dollars, didn't he? Yeah.
[42:50] Speaker 2: He said it, right?
[42:51] Speaker 4: He said spend millions. Yes. He just had the same
[42:53] Speaker 4: energy for you.
[42:54] Speaker 5: Now, I got it for you now.
[42:55] Speaker 2: No, you don't.
[42:56] Speaker 1: I do.
[42:56] Speaker 5: It's already over.
[42:57] Speaker 3: To drive, to drive.
[42:58] Speaker 2: It's already over.
[42:59] Speaker 1: To drive from L.A. to Miami, or Miami to L.A.,
[43:01] Speaker 1: 39 hours to drive.
[43:02] Speaker 5: All right, so we play tonight. We play tonight at
[43:05] Speaker 5: 7 o'clock, right? Do he play or not?
[43:08] Speaker 3: Do you cater to him?
[43:09] Speaker 2: Do he play or not?
[43:10] Speaker 4: I want you to.
[43:10] Speaker 5: Tell me what you would do. He plays the night
[43:12] Speaker 5: at 7 in Miami. Are you going to play him tonight?
[43:16] Speaker 5: We have a game tomorrow.
[43:17] Speaker 2: He has to.
[43:17] Speaker 5: Drive 39 hours.
[43:21] Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to play him tonight.
[43:22] Speaker 5: So you're going to play him tonight?
[43:23] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[43:24] Speaker 5: All right.
[43:24] Speaker 3: If he gets there.
[43:26] Speaker 1: Gets where?
[43:27] Speaker 3: To the game.
[43:28] Speaker 5: So if he gets there, you're in Miami, so he
[43:29] Speaker 5: plays the.
[43:30] Speaker 3: Game in Miami.
[43:31] Speaker 1: So that means you're not going to have him for
[43:32] Speaker 1: the next game, right?
[43:33] Speaker 5: Because it's 39 hours, but y'all play in 24. So
[43:35] Speaker 5: what are you going to do? Because you can't fly him.
[43:38] Speaker 3: Got to figure it out.
[43:39] Speaker 2: I'm asking you to figure it out. Tell me.
[43:40] Speaker 3: Figure it out. I wasn't in the position to figure
[43:42] Speaker 3: it out.
[43:43] Speaker 5: I'm telling you, since you want to say all this,
[43:45] Speaker 5: answer the question.
[43:46] Speaker 4: 39 hours. I just gave you the answer.
[43:48] Speaker 1: Do the math.
[43:49] Speaker 4: I don't know the answer.
[43:50] Speaker 5: Okay.
[43:51] Speaker 1: Exactly.
[43:52] Speaker 3: Is that it? Can't argue if you don't know it.
[43:54] Speaker 4: Okay, so go back to the situation we were talking
[43:56] Speaker 4: about with you.
[43:57] Speaker 3: Thank you. Trying to cater to the players. Yeah, all
[44:00] Speaker 3: your investments. All your investments.
[44:01] Speaker 4: No, every player.
[44:02] Speaker 3: Oh, if you're going to do this, go get a
[44:04] Speaker 3: security guard.
[44:05] Speaker 4: You need to spend extra money on your players.
[44:08] Speaker 3: You're an owner.
[44:09] Speaker 6: I'm just trying to figure out, are we investing in
[44:11] Speaker 6: every player the same way?
[44:12] Speaker 4: So how does that not play into the same?
[44:14] Speaker 1: Or is it this?
[44:15] Speaker 3: It's your investment.
[44:20] Speaker 1: I don't know.
[44:20] Speaker 4: My top player for sure.
[44:21] Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is your investment.
[44:24] Speaker 1: Right.
[44:24] Speaker 5: So you can only invest what you're trying to get
[44:26] Speaker 5: out of it.
[44:29] Speaker 3: What?
[44:29] Speaker 1: Like, Clippers investment in the 80s and 90s.
[44:33] Speaker 3: They didn't invest nothing.
[44:35] Speaker 5: What did it look like?
[44:36] Speaker 3: YMCA.
[44:37] Speaker 5: It looked like nothing.
[44:38] Speaker 1: Right.
[44:39] Speaker 5: Lakers invested in their team. Chicago, when Jordan was there,
[44:43] Speaker 5: they invested. Private plane. Detroit, private planes.
[44:47] Speaker 1: Championship.
[44:47] Speaker 4: They invested.
[44:48] Speaker 5: Wait. It's who you are as a businessman. I'm telling
[44:54] Speaker 5: you as a businessman, I know I have a whole
[44:57] Speaker 5: bunch of young players coming in. I'm going to protect
[45:01] Speaker 5: my investment. I got $ 400 million going on. I'm not
[45:04] Speaker 5: going to spend another two to make sure they're mentally
[45:07] Speaker 5: stable and ready to play. I'm just going to let
[45:10] Speaker 5: them just be wild? That sounds ridiculous.
[45:13] Speaker 3: What happened when Dennis Rodman.
[45:15] Speaker 6: Walked in and said he was going to Vegas? Because
[45:17] Speaker 6: they see how everybody else is living.
[45:19] Speaker 3: Like, what do you mean?
[45:20] Speaker 4: Because the league has things where, yo, they have, when
[45:24] Speaker 4: you come to the league, the NBA teams, they have
[45:26] Speaker 4: everything you need, right? They have people that can help you,
[45:29] Speaker 4: you know, get to where you got to get to.
[45:30] Speaker 6: So what if players come in and be like, no,
[45:31] Speaker 6: I don't want that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like,
[45:33] Speaker 6: I don't want to live where you, I don't want
[45:35] Speaker 6: you to, I want to do my own thing because
[45:36] Speaker 6: my other peers are doing it.
[45:38] Speaker 3: My other peers?
[45:40] Speaker 6: Like, they live in, like, how are you trying to
[45:43] Speaker 6: invest in them?
[45:43] Speaker 4: I don't need all that. I don't need your help.
[45:45] Speaker 3: I want to do my own thing. What do you mean?
[45:47] Speaker 3: So then what? Because that's your investment, right?
[45:49] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[45:50] Speaker 3: But what if they don't want to take your help?
[45:52] Speaker 3: They're going to take it. But you only.
[45:56] Speaker 1: But if I don't want to, I'm grown. Like, I
[45:58] Speaker 1: don't need you to do it.
[45:59] Speaker 2: But you can't help somebody if they don't know if
[46:01] Speaker 2: you need help or not, though. So you're going to
[46:03] Speaker 2: tell a GM... I don't need your help.
[46:05] Speaker 3: You don't need my help.
[46:05] Speaker 5: Putting you in a place where you ain't got to
[46:07] Speaker 5: pay rent? You got a mansion to yourself that's already
[46:09] Speaker 5: paid for?
[46:10] Speaker 1: Maybe I want, I mean, I don't know. I'm just saying.
[46:13] Speaker 2: You got players that want a table.
[46:14] Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just saying.
[46:15] Speaker 5: I'm just saying, if I was your junior manager and
[46:18] Speaker 5: there was already a four or five bedroom mansion for you,
[46:23] Speaker 5: you have your own driver, your own chef, you got
[46:25] Speaker 5: your own laundry, all you have to do is worry
[46:27] Speaker 5: about basketball. You wouldn't have to have a better rookie
[46:31] Speaker 5: year mentally?
[46:33] Speaker 1: For sure.
[46:33] Speaker 2: Okay.
[46:33] Speaker 3: For sure.
[46:34] Speaker 1: That's all.
[46:35] Speaker 4: And this doesn't count out of my paycheck.
[46:36] Speaker 3: Nothing out of your paycheck. So this is just you just.
[46:38] Speaker 2: Doing all this. This is just me as an owner.
[46:39] Speaker 1: I got houses for the rookies that come in.
[46:42] Speaker 5: As a sophomore or your third year or whatever, you
[46:45] Speaker 5: can move on to your own, but I'm treating you
[46:47] Speaker 5: like a real professional.
[46:49] Speaker 4: Yeah. So these are houses.
[46:50] Speaker 5: So I invested my... So until you become a professional.
[46:53] Speaker 3: Don't they do that overseas? Like, don't they give you
[46:56] Speaker 3: a spot and everything when you go? Get a crib
[46:58] Speaker 3: or a car.
[46:58] Speaker 5: I'm just saying, I'm just looking at how rookies live
[47:01] Speaker 5: and what do they know?
[47:02] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
[47:04] Speaker 3: They don't know nothing.
[47:05] Speaker 5: So there has to be something implemented.
[47:07] Speaker 3: It costs you nothing.
[47:09] Speaker 5: You're already spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.
[47:12] Speaker 5: You're talking about spending another two? Two to protect 400 million?
[47:18] Speaker 1: Come on.
[47:19] Speaker 5: Couple bodyguards here that, like, you are the elite of
[47:23] Speaker 5: the elite.
[47:24] Speaker 3: Right, right.
[47:25] Speaker 1: Right?
[47:25] Speaker 5: It's like taking a girl from, you know, Denny's to Noble.
[47:28] Speaker 5: She don't know how to fucking act yet.
[47:31] Speaker 3: You said Denny's?
[47:32] Speaker 5: Here you go to Denny's and Noble. She don't know
[47:34] Speaker 5: how to act, right?
[47:34] Speaker 3: I thought you said Denny's to Noble. We've all been there.
[47:36] Speaker 5: She might be like, hey, hey, hey, wait.
[47:39] Speaker 3: She'd be like, relax, relax.
[47:41] Speaker 1: No, I thought you said Denny's to Noble.
[47:43] Speaker 6: So, all right, so back to, so what would you
[47:45] Speaker 6: do with Royce Wright if that was your investment and
[47:47] Speaker 6: you drafted him?
[47:47] Speaker 2: That's tough. What can you do besides get him a therapist,
[47:50] Speaker 2: try to talk to him? What can you do?
[47:53] Speaker 1: But this is your investment.
[47:54] Speaker 2: He's part of your team.
[47:58] Speaker 3: You're talking about.
[47:59] Speaker 1: Somebody drafted him.
[48:01] Speaker 5: You're talking about flying four days out of five nights.
[48:05] Speaker 5: You're basically saying that you can literally comfortably... only play, what, 20,
[48:12] Speaker 5: 30 games a.
[48:12] Speaker 3: Year for him? Yeah, just give him some.
[48:15] Speaker 5: Right, because all the traveling, you got to go from
[48:17] Speaker 5: city to city, you're going to be driving six, seven,
[48:19] Speaker 5: ten hours from game to game. That's a hard one.
[48:24] Speaker 3: Guess what? They knew it before they drafted him. I
[48:27] Speaker 3: think it's going to be like that, probably. Yeah, they
[48:29] Speaker 3: knew it before they drafted him. They knew he was.
[48:31] Speaker 2: But didn't he fly a couple times in college?
[48:33] Speaker 1: Yeah. That's why they drafted him.
[48:36] Speaker 4: That's why he developed it, because he couldn't do it.
[48:40] Speaker 5: Yeah, because they only fly once a week, maybe.
[48:44] Speaker 3: He couldn't tolerate it. He couldn't do it.
[48:48] Speaker 4: That's why it was a demand in the draft and
[48:50] Speaker 4: why he was surprised to go so low because he
[48:52] Speaker 4: was expected to go high pick. And that was the
[48:54] Speaker 4: reason why he didn't because.
[48:56] Speaker 3: Of the anxiety. It was a major thing. Took medication
[48:59] Speaker 3: and shit. All right, well. Let's keep this thing moving.

[49:44] Speaker 1: thing moving, shift it over to the west. So Nuggets
[49:46] Speaker 1: head coach Michael Malone was naturally frustrated after the short-handed
[49:49] Speaker 1: Lakers missing six of their top eight players, including Luka
[49:53] Speaker 1: and LeBron, nearly beat his squad at home Friday night
[49:56] Speaker 1: and offered these thoughts after the game.
[50:02] Speaker 3: All right. You have.
[50:07] Speaker 4: To throw this game in the trash and move on
[50:09] Speaker 4: to the next one.
[50:10] Speaker 1: Oh, you have to.
[50:10] Speaker 4: I mean, Washington's coming in here tomorrow night, so.
[50:16] Speaker 3: This isn't a beauty pageant. You know what I mean?
[50:18] Speaker 3: We don't get rated on our wins. It's a win.
[50:22] Speaker 1: Bought up the piece of paper. I appear he was
[50:24] Speaker 1: aiming at a target and bricked by his reaction. But nonetheless,
[50:27] Speaker 1: Nuggets followed up a close call against the Lakers.
[50:29] Speaker 3: It looks like the game.
[50:32] Speaker 1: So Nuggets followed up that close call against the Lakers
[50:34] Speaker 1: with an unwanted invitation to a pool party in their
[50:37] Speaker 1: next game. Let's take a look. Game tied at 1.23,
[50:40] Speaker 1: five seconds remaining in the game.
[50:42] Speaker 3: Jordan Poole. There he go, corner.
[50:43] Speaker 1: There it is.
[50:44] Speaker 2: My corner.
[50:46] Speaker 3: Your corner inward. As they say, Poole party. But look,
[50:49] Speaker 3: he's still celebrating.
[50:50] Speaker 1: To give the Wizards a win. They said the Nuggets
[50:52] Speaker 1: needed a flotation device. We're not gonna, you know, that's
[50:56] Speaker 1: not one of my favorite celebrations, but I give them love.
[50:59] Speaker 1: So the Wizards swept the season series over the Nuggets
[51:02] Speaker 1: with two of their 15 wins.
[51:03] Speaker 3: Coming against Denver. The Wizards swept them? Beat them both
[51:07] Speaker 3: times this season. Damn.
[51:09] Speaker 1: Two of their 15 wins, the Wizards' 15 wins over
[51:12] Speaker 1: the Nuggets. This is a pull-back, very nice shot.
[51:16] Speaker 4: There it is.
[51:21] Speaker 1: So after winning the chip 2023, Nuggets decided to run
[51:23] Speaker 1: it back with their core in 2024, losing to the
[51:26] Speaker 1: Wolves in the Western Semis in seven games. They lost
[51:29] Speaker 1: KCP to the Magic this offseason and have struggled to
[51:33] Speaker 1: replicate the success of the 2023 season with their core
[51:35] Speaker 1: crew of Jokic, Jamal Murray, MPJ, and Aaron Gordon. But
[51:39] Speaker 1: they did pick up an impressive win over the Warriors
[51:41] Speaker 1: last night without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Christian Brown
[51:44] Speaker 1: in the lineup as Russell Westbrook led the way with
[51:47] Speaker 1: a triple-double. So looking at the Nuggets, they have the
[51:50] Speaker 1: third best-rated offense in the league, but their defense currently
[51:53] Speaker 1: 20th as they hold down the third spot in the
[51:55] Speaker 1: West right now. I believe they're tied with the Rockets
[51:57] Speaker 1: for the second spot, but tiebreaker, they would be third.
[51:59] Speaker 1: But just looking at this Nuggets crew, we talked about
[52:01] Speaker 1: what George Paul said last summer. They need to give
[52:04] Speaker 1: Jokic more help and support. We talked about MPJ before
[52:06] Speaker 1: the season said that This team doesn't perform to expectations.
[52:09] Speaker 1: This could very well be the end of this crew.
[52:11] Speaker 1: Something will have to happen. But is this the last
[52:13] Speaker 1: dance for this Nugget squad?
[52:18] Speaker 2: Did Scar have like 33 on Joker through that game?
[52:22] Speaker 3: Alex Saar?
[52:22] Speaker 1: Yeah, Saar. Scar, whatever his name is.
[52:27] Speaker 5: Can I get a shot?
[52:28] Speaker 3: He did.
[52:28] Speaker 2: He had 37 on Joker.
[52:29] Speaker 3: How did you get Scar?
[52:31] Speaker 4: How did you get Scar, though?
[52:33] Speaker 3: Chet Hologram, Scar. Scar? Yeah, motherfucker be watching.
[52:36] Speaker 8: 34-6-5.
[52:36] Speaker 4: Mufasa was cold.
[52:37] Speaker 3: Mufasa was cold.
[52:37] Speaker 1: 34-6-5 against the Nuggets. Alex R.
[52:39] Speaker 5: How much? 34? 34-6-5.
[52:39] Speaker 1: In 32 minutes.
[52:40] Speaker 3: And said, is this your king? Another movie. I'm talking
[52:54] Speaker 3: to him, motherfucker. No, I'm just saying this is a
[52:56] Speaker 3: different movie. See what I'm talking about?
[52:57] Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying.
[52:58] Speaker 3: We're supposed to be Shayside right here.
[53:00] Speaker 5: We are.
[53:00] Speaker 3: I'm just saying you just said another movie.
[53:02] Speaker 1: See, that's what I'm talking about.
[53:02] Speaker 4: You got to use the Lion King.
[53:04] Speaker 2: It's Lion King Scar.
[53:05] Speaker 4: You're supposed to use that.
[53:06] Speaker 2: Only thing I got to do is just poke you
[53:07] Speaker 2: in the mouth.
[53:08] Speaker 3: And Black Panther.
[53:09] Speaker 1: I mean.
[53:09] Speaker 2: I got to do something to you. You keep disrespecting
[53:11] Speaker 2: me like this.
[53:12] Speaker 3: I like the mashup. That's the next movie, motherfucker. Both
[53:15] Speaker 3: take place in Africa.
[53:16] Speaker 1: It does.
[53:19] Speaker 3: I got your back, Swag.
[53:21] Speaker 1: But looking at this Nugget Squad, I'm going to feel
[53:23] Speaker 1: like they're feared like they once were. You feel like
[53:27] Speaker 1: this is the last dance for this team, and if so,
[53:30] Speaker 1: who's going to be the Iron Man now?
[53:35] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[53:38] Speaker 2: You can't blame Russ like normally people do. You can't
[53:41] Speaker 2: blame Russ. Russ used to be the scapegoat.
[53:44] Speaker 3: Russ cheap. But they all got value.
[53:48] Speaker 2: Gordon had 30-something last night against the Warriors. He was
[53:53] Speaker 2: almost an all-star before he got there. People just get,
[53:59] Speaker 2: they lose value because Jokers, they make Joker feel like
[54:04] Speaker 2: he's up here and he's playing with nobodies and he's
[54:07] Speaker 2: just doing all this spectacular stuff. But all them players
[54:11] Speaker 2: could play. You got Russ Murray, Murray average 20 something.
[54:15] Speaker 2: Gordon right there, 18. Big man, he was supposed to
[54:19] Speaker 2: be really a part of this Orlando team now. He'd
[54:22] Speaker 2: have been a big presence on that team. And the
[54:27] Speaker 2: other kid, the shooter, the tall shooter, 6'10, shooter, so.
[54:32] Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned, So, Joker never played with another all-star. Gil,
[54:36] Speaker 1: it's a point you made on Instagram recently. Somebody said,
[54:38] Speaker 1: Jamal Murray, all-star caliber. And that's the caliber, but has
[54:42] Speaker 1: not been an all-star. So, everybody's all-star caliber. Everybody's all-star caliber.
[54:46] Speaker 1: It's like an all-star. You're like, are you an all-star
[54:49] Speaker 1: or not? So, obviously, his team had success 2023. Had
[54:54] Speaker 1: a stranglehold.
[54:54] Speaker 3: I mean, but he is better than some of the people.
[54:57] Speaker 1: He is, but at the end of the day, the
[54:59] Speaker 1: point still remains that Joker hasn't played with another all-star
[55:02] Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. Was it his team first? Murray's?
[55:08] Speaker 3: And the bubble was Murray's team. Then he got hurt, right? Yeah,
[55:10] Speaker 3: it was bubble. Bubble Murray? Yeah, he was number one option.
[55:14] Speaker 4: Bubble Murray went crazy.
[55:16] Speaker 3: The hardest playoffs in the NBA. Yogesh is still defining
[55:20] Speaker 3: what he was.
[55:21] Speaker 1: And then he got hurt, right?
[55:25] Speaker 3: Nugget stuck with him.
[55:26] Speaker 6: I mean, they definitely got pieces they can move, though.
[55:28] Speaker 3: Man.
[55:30] Speaker 1: But in terms of Joker's longevity, you got obviously a
[55:33] Speaker 1: Perennial MVP candidate. Squad wanted Chip for them to stay
[55:37] Speaker 1: at that level. Other teams have gotten better in the West, obviously.
[55:44] Speaker 2: How old is he?
[55:45] Speaker 3: I think 30.
[55:46] Speaker 5: Who?
[55:46] Speaker 3: Jokic. Well, you're going to say trade him?
[55:51] Speaker 4: No, not trade him. I mean, it's just what can Denver.
[55:55] Speaker 1: Do for him.
[55:57] Speaker 6: At this point? Sometimes people just outgrow where they're at.
[56:02] Speaker 4: That's fair.
[56:03] Speaker 1: It ain't him.
[56:03] Speaker 6: It ain't like he ain't... It's not like if he
[56:05] Speaker 6: goes somewhere, his numbers gonna go down. He gonna keep
[56:07] Speaker 6: doing what he do. It's just what can they build
[56:09] Speaker 6: around him? Like, if you're not gonna be able to
[56:12] Speaker 6: get it done in these next two years.
[56:15] Speaker 3: The best big man in the league.
[56:17] Speaker 6: You know, you got Luka over there in L.A. You know,
[56:19] Speaker 6: you got Tatum and them in Boston.
[56:21] Speaker 4: I think, personally, I think it's up to his teammates,
[56:29] Speaker 4: Joker's teammates, to decide whether to They want to actually
[56:33] Speaker 4: stay and make it worthwhile. Joker's not the type of
[56:38] Speaker 4: guy that needs another place like Denver. Denver's like home.
[56:42] Speaker 4: It might be a little bit colder, but it's isolated.
[56:45] Speaker 4: He ain't got to worry about nothing else, right? Everybody else,
[56:47] Speaker 4: the other players might just be tired of that shit.
[56:51] Speaker 4: Jamal and MPJ, they're like, man, I've been here too long.
[56:56] Speaker 4: This ain't the type of city to be here 10,
[56:58] Speaker 4: 20 years, 15 years. To have a chance to win
[57:01] Speaker 4: with him. Right, but if they keep that team together,
[57:03] Speaker 4: you're looking at who can you move for those pieces,
[57:07] Speaker 4: those assets, that value. That's in the league that will
[57:10] Speaker 4: help him do something different than what they're doing right now.
[57:12] Speaker 4: They just need a bench. What other player other than
[57:14] Speaker 4: MPJ are you going to bring in to trade that's
[57:16] Speaker 4: going to give you what he give you at that size?
[57:20] Speaker 3: And you look at Jamal. Who are you going to
[57:21] Speaker 3: trade that's going to be willing to get off their
[57:23] Speaker 3: asset for that?
[57:24] Speaker 1: Is this hurting their careers, though?
[57:26] Speaker 3: If they don't want to be there.
[57:28] Speaker 2: Because there's so much spotlight on Joker. Is Jamal Murray
[57:32] Speaker 2: considered a Hall of Famer?
[57:34] Speaker 1: No.
[57:35] Speaker 3: You got to ask Tony Parker.
[57:37] Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. But he don't get the same
[57:40] Speaker 2: respect as Tony. Tony was an all-star.
[57:44] Speaker 1: I mean, all NBA.
[57:46] Speaker 4: Tony never voiced the fact that he wanted that recognition.
[57:49] Speaker 4: You play in a system where everybody gets credit for winning.
[57:52] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[57:53] Speaker 3: So even though Timmy was the.
[57:54] Speaker 4: Guy, you got Ginobili, you got Tony, you got certain
[57:59] Speaker 4: guys that got recognized because of that.
[58:01] Speaker 3: So it's the same type of situation. Did Ginobili make
[58:04] Speaker 3: All-Star Game?
[58:05] Speaker 4: You can move Aaron Gordon.
[58:06] Speaker 3: See what I mean?
[58:07] Speaker 4: Who else?
[58:08] Speaker 3: Porter.
[58:10] Speaker 4: I mean, so you move Aaron Gordon, who you get
[58:13] Speaker 4: that's going to do what Aaron does.
[58:15] Speaker 3: I mean, you can move two people with him. To
[58:18] Speaker 3: get who, though?
[58:19] Speaker 6: It's... It's hard to find them bigs.
[58:23] Speaker 3: You need a bam. You got to get a bam
[58:24] Speaker 3: for them, too. I mean, who?
[58:27] Speaker 4: You got a lot of people. A lot of people
[58:29] Speaker 4: want to come play with y'all.
[58:30] Speaker 3: They just need, like... I'm saying as far as talent swap.
[58:33] Speaker 4: What's your talent swap in your experience?
[58:36] Speaker 3: KD out there.
[58:37] Speaker 4: For Aaron Gordon? And somebody else.
[58:40] Speaker 3: They relying on.
[58:42] Speaker 1: But when you say that playing with Joker helps those guys,
[58:44] Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you got a guy who's a willing passer.
[58:48] Speaker 1: Don't make it about him. Could average 35 if he
[58:50] Speaker 1: felt inclined.
[58:51] Speaker 3: To do so.
[58:52] Speaker 4: If you're MPJ, you go somewhere else, you're going to
[58:54] Speaker 4: show all your weaknesses. It's going to be maximized. Right now,
[58:57] Speaker 4: you're hiding a lot of things that you don't even
[58:59] Speaker 4: need to show people. Come off shoot and do your thing.
[59:02] Speaker 4: You don't got to show nobody whether you can carry
[59:04] Speaker 4: your team or none of that.
[59:05] Speaker 3: My point is, if you're the Nuggets, you're not going
[59:08] Speaker 3: this way, right? They are. They're going up. I mean,
[59:13] Speaker 3: they're not going down. They're not going down. They're right here, though.
[59:17] Speaker 4: Because they can always take this and take it home.
[59:19] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[59:20] Speaker 4: They can stay here and be like, yeah, we get
[59:22] Speaker 4: past these dudes, we can take it there.
[59:23] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[59:24] Speaker 1: I think that's why they're keeping that team together. Yeah,
[59:26] Speaker 1: but you come from a trip in 2023, you.
[59:28] Speaker 4: Don't build on that.
[59:29] Speaker 3: They lost KCP.
[59:29] Speaker 1: You don't even get back to the finals next season. Obviously,
[59:31] Speaker 1: you don't even get back to the Western Conference finals.
[59:33] Speaker 1: But did the West get stronger? But other teams are
[59:36] Speaker 1: getting stronger.
[59:36] Speaker 4: Okay, so now do we make changes or do we
[59:39] Speaker 4: adjust to the strength?
[59:41] Speaker 3: Do we adjust to what we're seeing? I think if
[59:43] Speaker 3: them staying at.
[59:44] Speaker 4: 5'6, 4'5, 6, is saying that, Even though y'all made
[59:49] Speaker 4: these changes, it still don't change the fact that we can.
[59:51] Speaker 3: Still compete here. I mean, you can compete, but we're
[59:53] Speaker 3: trying to win the championship. Exactly, so that's the point.
[59:56] Speaker 4: How far can we go with what we got?
[59:58] Speaker 3: Yeah, it's competing good enough, I guess, is the question, right? Yeah.
[1:00:02] Speaker 1: So I had a chance, I think, to beat, what,
[1:00:03] Speaker 1: Topsy in the West last year. Kind of came down
[1:00:05] Speaker 1: to the last game or two. At this point, Thunder,
[1:00:08] Speaker 1: 13-game lead.
[1:00:10] Speaker 3: Been over.
[1:00:10] Speaker 4: I think it's cooked.
[1:00:12] Speaker 3: Fuck. That's crazy.
[1:00:14] Speaker 2: Do anybody else become an All-Star on that team besides Joker?
[1:00:17] Speaker 4: Like, ever? They're having a season, a whole full season.
[1:00:21] Speaker 2: Unless they number one. But they've been number one. They was, like,
[1:00:25] Speaker 2: tied number one last year, and nobody else made it.
[1:00:28] Speaker 8: Yeah.
[1:00:28] Speaker 3: I mean, his numbers are ridiculous. Like.
[1:00:31] Speaker 4: You got to pick up the slack.
[1:00:33] Speaker 2: People like Mobley making it with averaging, what, 18?
[1:00:37] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:00:37] Speaker 4: 18 and 10, though. 18 and 10.
[1:00:40] Speaker 1: The other one, he averaging, what, 21?
[1:00:43] Speaker 3: The guard. I can't think of it.
[1:00:45] Speaker 1: Garland?
[1:00:45] Speaker 3: Yeah, Garland. Yeah.
[1:00:46] Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
[1:00:47] Speaker 2: Murray averaged 20 and 21?
[1:00:52] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:00:53] Speaker 1: That's crazy.
[1:00:55] Speaker 3: They know the West guards is different. Yeah.
[1:00:58] Speaker 6: You got two guards in the West averaging 30.
[1:01:01] Speaker 3: Who? Who? Shea and? Luka. Luka. Who?
[1:01:07] Speaker 4: Luka.
[1:01:08] Speaker 1: Oh, Luka, Luka.
[1:01:10] Speaker 3: Even like this year, Luka was hurt. Couldn't get in, Steve.
[1:01:14] Speaker 5: Man, just use chat GPT, man, and then ask them
[1:01:19] Speaker 5: who you should trade, man. Just do what Murray do, man,
[1:01:22] Speaker 5: or what Maury do. Just hit that chat GPT, see
[1:01:26] Speaker 5: who the fuck that's a good fit for you.
[1:01:29] Speaker 1: So, Nuggets, obviously, close call against the Lakers. C-Squad and
[1:01:34] Speaker 1: Austin Reeves. Lose to the Wizards. Second time this season,
[1:01:38] Speaker 1: but the Nuggets... Monday night, primetime game against the Warriors.
[1:01:41] Speaker 1: Snap the Warriors' seven-game win streak despite being without their
[1:01:45] Speaker 1: two best players. Denver's won nine straight, 12 out of
[1:01:48] Speaker 1: 13 over Golden State overall. As it currently stands, the
[1:01:51] Speaker 1: Nuggets and Warriors would face off if the playoffs began today.
[1:01:54] Speaker 1: Nuggets at the third spot, Warriors at the sixth seed.
[1:01:58] Speaker 1: Do the Nuggets have a mental edge over the Warriors
[1:02:01] Speaker 1: with the playoffs looming?
[1:02:05] Speaker 5: They've won what?
[1:02:08] Speaker 1: Nine straight.
[1:02:09] Speaker 3: Nine straight?
[1:02:10] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:02:10] Speaker 3: Over the Warriors. Wait, they won nine straight over the Warriors?
[1:02:13] Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets have won nine straight games over the Warriors.
[1:02:16] Speaker 3: 12 of 13. Huh?
[1:02:17] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:02:18] Speaker 3: When was the last time the Warriors beat them? I
[1:02:20] Speaker 3: could look that up, Gil, but it's going to be
[1:02:21] Speaker 3: a while. Why didn't you ever talk about that? Oh, no,
[1:02:24] Speaker 3: because of LeBron.
[1:02:25] Speaker 1: That's all.
[1:02:26] Speaker 2: All year they got likes.
[1:02:27] Speaker 3: It's 20 what?
[1:02:28] Speaker 5: 2022, March of 2022. I don't even remember.
[1:02:32] Speaker 3: When I was going to March of 2022. Oh, they
[1:02:34] Speaker 3: don't know. You don't talk about that.
[1:02:36] Speaker 1: You do not talk about Steph, boy.
[1:02:38] Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's only popular
[1:02:41] Speaker 3: to talk about LeBron.
[1:02:42] Speaker 5: Well, I didn't know that they haven't.
[1:02:44] Speaker 1: Because when the Nuggets were doing that to the Lakers,
[1:02:46] Speaker 1: I feel like we heard about that.
[1:02:47] Speaker 3: We heard about whooping their ass.
[1:02:50] Speaker 1: We heard about who's your daddy and burping babies and
[1:02:55] Speaker 1: all that good stuff. Oh. But nine straight on the Warriors,
[1:02:58] Speaker 1: you just feel like you haven't, okay.
[1:03:00] Speaker 3: I mean, this don't help. Shit, that they sit.
[1:03:03] Speaker 5: Fucking three starters and they still beat on you while
[1:03:07] Speaker 5: you out there trying to win a game.
[1:03:08] Speaker 1: Prime nationally televised game on ESPN.
[1:03:11] Speaker 3: Worldwide leader. This don't make it any better.
[1:03:18] Speaker 1: We heard the Warriors say that they were championship level
[1:03:22] Speaker 1: ball club now with Jimmy Butler.
[1:03:24] Speaker 4: I didn't know they was going to ask what like that.
[1:03:26] Speaker 3: Hmm.
[1:03:28] Speaker 4: Might want to rethink that. Yeah.
[1:03:30] Speaker 6: Might want to go ahead and rethink that, try to
[1:03:31] Speaker 6: move up a little further, play Houston or something.
[1:03:34] Speaker 1: Shit, because they look like they're going to be.
[1:03:37] Speaker 4: A lot of people didn't know that.
[1:03:38] Speaker 2: Nobody knows nothing.
[1:03:40] Speaker 5: About history, man, not when it comes to LeBron James.
[1:03:43] Speaker 3: A lot of people didn't know that.
[1:03:46] Speaker 1: They can tell you everything about LeBron James. They can
[1:03:49] Speaker 1: tell you shit about the rest of the league. That's crazy.
[1:03:52] Speaker 3: That's because the Warriors ain't been going to the playoffs.
[1:03:55] Speaker 3: They did go.
[1:03:55] Speaker 1: They did go out.
[1:03:57] Speaker 5: This Steph Curry, they're the second most talked about team.
[1:04:01] Speaker 5: It's Lakers, then Curry now.
[1:04:03] Speaker 3: They didn't make it the last three years, though.
[1:04:04] Speaker 5: It's Lakers, then Curry now.
[1:04:08] Speaker 1: A lot of people argue this is Steph Curry's era
[1:04:10] Speaker 1: as well. You have to think about what I'm saying.
[1:04:12] Speaker 5: It's the Lakers. This curry dip. So that means we
[1:04:16] Speaker 5: should have known both was getting their ass spanked by
[1:04:20] Speaker 5: that man.
[1:04:21] Speaker 2: Nah.
[1:04:22] Speaker 6: If I'm going to stay, I'm going to try to
[1:04:23] Speaker 6: get that second spot.
[1:04:25] Speaker 3: We did not know that.
[1:04:26] Speaker 1: Try to lose.
[1:04:27] Speaker 3: This was information that was live. Yeah, I'm playing against Houston.
[1:04:31] Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to.
[1:04:33] Speaker 5: Houston, Memphis, where y'all at?
[1:04:35] Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now.
[1:04:37] Speaker 4: I'm looking at it.
[1:04:40] Speaker 5: They had mind control over me and Red.
[1:04:44] Speaker 2: Smokey and Red.
[1:04:47] Speaker 3: You be like, shut the fuck up. I'll be quiet.
[1:04:50] Speaker 3: We'll see you in the playoffs.
[1:04:52] Speaker 1: If you're talking again, you're all right.
[1:04:53] Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. I guess what? Lakers is Red.
[1:04:57] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:04:59] Speaker 5: Golden State is Smokey.
[1:05:05] Speaker 3: Got about $ 200.
[1:05:05] Speaker 1: You want some of this shit too? Oh, man. No.
[1:05:09] Speaker 3: I got about $ 200.
[1:05:10] Speaker 2: He said it's like both ours.
[1:05:11] Speaker 1: It's like both ours now.
[1:05:12] Speaker 2: Keep that in my house.
[1:05:13] Speaker 1: It's like both ours.
[1:05:14] Speaker 2: It's like both of ours.
[1:05:16] Speaker 3: Shout out to Beach Cruiser.
[1:05:17] Speaker 5: No, I mean, but serious note, right now they actually
[1:05:24] Speaker 5: have to, like, really pay attention to what the team
[1:05:28] Speaker 5: is built like and think about what assets you've built
[1:05:32] Speaker 5: that you can trade for assets for Jokic.
[1:05:35] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:05:37] Speaker 1: Complimentary pieces, but you feel like this squad is complimentary
[1:05:40] Speaker 1: shot like you're saying, like we've seen what this squad
[1:05:41] Speaker 1: is capable of doing. But.
[1:05:44] Speaker 5: You have Kemp, you have Brown, you have Watson, you
[1:05:50] Speaker 5: have young pieces that look like they can go. You
[1:05:53] Speaker 5: might have to offset some of those to bring in
[1:05:55] Speaker 5: some pure shooters that can keep the core.
[1:05:59] Speaker 3: Because those two are just athletes.
[1:06:01] Speaker 5: Now you got those two athletes with Russell Westbrook, who's
[1:06:04] Speaker 5: an athlete, with Gordon, who's an athlete, right, with MPJ,
[1:06:08] Speaker 5: who's an athlete, but MPJ is your only real outside threat.
[1:06:12] Speaker 5: The other four are just mainly athletes, right? That's not
[1:06:16] Speaker 5: working with Jokic. He doesn't need four people trying to dive.
[1:06:20] Speaker 5: He need four people sitting in a corner and one
[1:06:22] Speaker 5: ducking in and diving.
[1:06:23] Speaker 3: They need to make a call to New Orleans.
[1:06:27] Speaker 6: Losing KCP hurts.
[1:06:29] Speaker 3: KCP, Brown, what was it? Bruce Brown.
[1:06:32] Speaker 1: Bruce Brown.
[1:06:32] Speaker 3: Bruce Brown, yeah, because they spread the floor.
[1:06:35] Speaker 2: And it's about that time CJ turned into Reggie Jackson
[1:06:39] Speaker 2: for him.
[1:06:41] Speaker 1: He need floor spreaders, man.
[1:06:43] Speaker 4: He need some shooters.
[1:06:44] Speaker 2: Look at CJ and Murray, the floor.
[1:06:47] Speaker 5: If I'm them, Golden State, I'm going to ask Golden
[1:06:49] Speaker 5: State for Buddy Hill. Mm.
[1:06:54] Speaker 3: Meneers, as he's known on our playback watch party chat.
[1:06:56] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[1:06:59] Speaker 3: Nah.
[1:07:01] Speaker 4: I think they're more effective with one shooter. I think
[1:07:03] Speaker 4: Joker liked those passes to the backdoor cutters. I think
[1:07:06] Speaker 4: he likes cutters. Yeah, but it's too many. You can't
[1:07:09] Speaker 4: have three cutters. I said he likes one shooter.
[1:07:13] Speaker 3: So one shooter.
[1:07:14] Speaker 4: There's Jamal. There's MPJ. Jamal's the mid guy. He's in
[1:07:18] Speaker 4: the middle. He's not considered a shooter, but he can
[1:07:20] Speaker 4: hit shots. Everybody else besides those two need to be cutters.
[1:07:24] Speaker 4: The other two guys need to be cutters. He has
[1:07:27] Speaker 4: to have cutters.
[1:07:28] Speaker 3: In this era. And he one knockdown shooter. Think about it,
[1:07:33] Speaker 3: we had KCP. Well, he had KCP and... Yeah, he
[1:07:35] Speaker 3: had four shooters.
[1:07:36] Speaker 5: He had four shooters and one person that backed down.
[1:07:39] Speaker 1: No, Bruce Brown was a cutter. Yeah, Murray, KCP, and.
[1:07:45] Speaker 3: PJ. That's Brown and Brown. They was both. Now, the
[1:07:48] Speaker 3: white boy Brown, he's just like Bruce Brown. They just... No, no, no, no.
[1:07:55] Speaker 4: Watson is just not a shooter. That's the KCP y'all
[1:07:59] Speaker 4: talking about. Watson's just not a shooter. He's a slasher.
[1:08:01] Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. They need that KCP out there.
[1:08:04] Speaker 3: They need that Reggie Jackson, too. Because Yoke can shoot three. Yeah,
[1:08:07] Speaker 3: Reggie helped that, too. Reggie helped that. No, and the
[1:08:10] Speaker 3: other dude was a Morris.
[1:08:11] Speaker 5: Trade Buddy Hill for Watson.
[1:08:13] Speaker 3: Who was it? Morris? Monte Morris? Monte Morris. He came
[1:08:17] Speaker 3: off the bench and was giving them something, too. Drew Holiday, brother, right?
[1:08:21] Speaker 3: Holiday brother was there. Yeah, the brother. Holiday brother.
[1:08:24] Speaker 1: You better than him, too?
[1:08:26] Speaker 2: You better than the holiday brother?
[1:08:27] Speaker 4: I played with Justin.
[1:08:29] Speaker 1: We didn't ask you.
[1:08:30] Speaker 2: Are you better than his brother? Are you better than
[1:08:33] Speaker 2: his whole family?
[1:08:34] Speaker 1: All the brothers could get it.
[1:08:36] Speaker 3: Mr. B, one on three, I feel like the holiday
[1:08:38] Speaker 3: will lock you up.
[1:08:38] Speaker 4: No, for sure. I love the holidays.
[1:08:40] Speaker 3: I've been known since.
[1:08:41] Speaker 1: 11, bro.
[1:08:41] Speaker 5: Holiday Inn.
[1:08:44] Speaker 1: But, of course, I'm better than all the holidays.
[1:08:46] Speaker 3: Branding and fire.
[1:08:47] Speaker 2: It's a true holiday in. Holiday in.
[1:08:52] Speaker 3: Branding and fire. Shout-out to Championship P. Bring his championship experience.
[1:08:59] Speaker 3: Shout-out to Hollywood. question for you guys.
[1:09:01] Speaker 1: So Nuggets decision to sit Joker Murray and Christian Brown
[1:09:04] Speaker 1: for a nationally televised game. Raise some eyebrows. Yeah, we
[1:09:08] Speaker 1: were watching that game on playback. I think we were
[1:09:09] Speaker 1: really excited about doing the Nuggets-Warriors game. Really, really, really excited.
[1:09:13] Speaker 1: And then found out.
[1:09:14] Speaker 5: That's a lie. We was not excited about doing that game.
[1:09:16] Speaker 5: I was trying to get the... Okay, I was going
[1:09:18] Speaker 5: to say we was really excited about Luka.
[1:09:20] Speaker 1: Let's just be honest. The Warriors also playing. We were
[1:09:23] Speaker 1: going to double up. But that was the game that
[1:09:24] Speaker 1: we were billing. They put Joker on the graphic with Steph.
[1:09:26] Speaker 1: We were like, ooh, ooh, ooh. But sat Joker, Jamal Murray,
[1:09:31] Speaker 1: and Christian Brown. Nationally televised game on ESPN. Raise some eyebrows.
[1:09:34] Speaker 1: It may have confirmed what Lakers fans have been saying
[1:09:36] Speaker 1: about opposing players missing games in preparation to play the
[1:09:40] Speaker 1: purple and gold.
[1:09:41] Speaker 3: Nuggets face the Lakers on Wednesday.
[1:09:44] Speaker 1: Wait, they set their players to get ready for the Lakers?
[1:09:48] Speaker 1: That's what Lakers fans have been saying for a long time.
[1:09:51] Speaker 1: If you go and look at just the history, a
[1:09:52] Speaker 1: lot of guys will sit the game before playing the
[1:09:56] Speaker 1: Lakers to prepare for them, or they might miss an
[1:09:57] Speaker 1: extended stretch of games, come back to play the Lakers
[1:10:00] Speaker 1: and miss games after that.
[1:10:02] Speaker 3: Just telling you what.
[1:10:03] Speaker 5: This late? Is LeBron about to play or something?
[1:10:05] Speaker 3: No, LeBron is still. I like how JJ been doing it, though.
[1:10:08] Speaker 3: So they said everybody for this Lakers? Let me ask.
[1:10:12] Speaker 1: Any issue with Joker and Jamal Murray missing the national
[1:10:14] Speaker 1: televised game against the Warriors to prepare for the Lakers?
[1:10:18] Speaker 1: Are they at home?
[1:10:20] Speaker 3: They're coming to Los Angeles. No, were they at home yesterday?
[1:10:22] Speaker 3: They were in Golden State.
[1:10:23] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[1:10:26] Speaker 1: San Francisco. I'll start with that.
[1:10:28] Speaker 4: I mean, they about to come.
[1:10:30] Speaker 5: What I'm saying is I don't like the idea if
[1:10:32] Speaker 5: you're going to load manage, if you're going to sit
[1:10:34] Speaker 5: your player, you sit him on your dollar.
[1:10:37] Speaker 3: Don't sit him on mine.
[1:10:38] Speaker 5: Right? The San Francisco arena was buying tickets for Jokic. Right?
[1:10:47] Speaker 5: So y'all got home games. You got 41 of them shits.
[1:10:52] Speaker 5: Sit that motherfucker on there. No, I got you two
[1:10:54] Speaker 5: times a year. I expect him to play two times
[1:10:56] Speaker 5: a year because when Steph comes to town, he's going
[1:10:58] Speaker 5: to play two times a year. So your people can
[1:11:01] Speaker 5: see him. And that's the only thing I don't like
[1:11:04] Speaker 5: about low managing. Like, if you're going to low manage,
[1:11:07] Speaker 5: do this shit at home. There's 41 home games. You
[1:11:09] Speaker 5: sold season tickets at the beginning for this. I got
[1:11:13] Speaker 5: people who's coming for Jokic and you're sitting your guy.
[1:11:17] Speaker 3: That's not fair. That's not fair for my fan base.
[1:11:22] Speaker 2: Why is it not an issue that he's even load managing?
[1:11:25] Speaker 1: They did come in to San Francisco and bust a
[1:11:28] Speaker 1: warrior's ass. I'm just pointing it out.
[1:11:32] Speaker 3: But with everybody else, load managing is a problem.
[1:11:36] Speaker 5: Ain't it? I get the business part of it. You're
[1:11:38] Speaker 5: trying to protect and do the longevity.
[1:11:40] Speaker 4: Y'all didn't get the memo. They all had groin injuries.
[1:11:47] Speaker 3: Yeah, Joker.
[1:11:48] Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
[1:11:49] Speaker 3: Yeah, they all had groin injuries. LeBron, as we know,
[1:11:52] Speaker 3: has a groin strain that he suffered against the Celtics. LeBron, Raymond, Jameson. Oh,
[1:11:55] Speaker 3: I'm talking about these Demons. Okay, are you saying that... Yeah,
[1:11:58] Speaker 3: they was out. There wasn't no load management. It was
[1:12:00] Speaker 3: groin injuries. It was groiny? Yeah.
[1:12:03] Speaker 5: Why y'all tripping, man? Call it what it is, man.
[1:12:06] Speaker 5: Whatever they want to use, it don't matter. Just do
[1:12:08] Speaker 5: that shit. Because if you play today, just do that
[1:12:11] Speaker 5: shit on your team. Because I'm sorry, you know what
[1:12:14] Speaker 5: I mean?
[1:12:15] Speaker 4: Whatever it is, just do that shit.
[1:12:16] Speaker 5: Big toe, back spasm, whatever you want to use, do
[1:12:19] Speaker 5: the shit on your dollar.
[1:12:20] Speaker 3: Don't do it on the road team's dollar. Just do
[1:12:24] Speaker 3: that shit. Okay, okay, whatever it is, just do that shit.
[1:12:29] Speaker 1: Just do that shit.
[1:12:31] Speaker 5: Because, I mean, if your groins are better for the
[1:12:34] Speaker 5: motherfucking Lakers.
[1:12:35] Speaker 3: Yeah. If your groin is strengthened enough.
[1:12:38] Speaker 1: But no, no, no.
[1:12:39] Speaker 3: The Caucasian Lakers are always better. I don't know, man.
[1:12:42] Speaker 3: I'm just saying, man, do that shit on your tour.
[1:12:44] Speaker 1: The non-LeBron Caucasian Lakers.
[1:12:46] Speaker 4: Don't y'all got a lot of the home games coming up?
[1:12:49] Speaker 1: Who?
[1:12:49] Speaker 3: The Lakers.
[1:12:51] Speaker 1: Everywhere we go.
[1:12:51] Speaker 3: You got like four straight? I'm a brother.
[1:12:53] Speaker 1: We at home.
[1:12:53] Speaker 3: You got like four straight?
[1:12:55] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:12:55] Speaker 3: Four straight, man.
[1:12:56] Speaker 5: We damn near got 80-something games at home, man.
[1:12:59] Speaker 1: Every time I look up, you know what I mean?
[1:13:02] Speaker 4: Every time I look up, it was a Madison Square.
[1:13:04] Speaker 5: Garden home game.
[1:13:05] Speaker 3: After low management. Don't pop up.
[1:13:07] Speaker 2: All I see is purple and gold and everything.
[1:13:09] Speaker 5: Only time we ain't got purple is damn near in Boston.
[1:13:12] Speaker 1: Right.
[1:13:13] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. I don't know.
[1:13:14] Speaker 4: I don't know. Leave me alone.
[1:13:16] Speaker 3: Yeah, leave me alone.
[1:13:17] Speaker 4: Stop starting shit. I know.
[1:13:18] Speaker 3: You're right.
[1:13:22] Speaker 1: Lastly, let's just take a look. Here's what happened at
[1:13:25] Speaker 1: the end of the game last night. We're just going
[1:13:26] Speaker 1: to run this clip. I want to get your guys'
[1:13:28] Speaker 1: opinion on it. So Nuggets were up 10 about 20
[1:13:30] Speaker 1: seconds ago. Hell yeah. And Watson, you know, go ahead
[1:13:33] Speaker 1: and get him a bucket. But both teams just appeared
[1:13:36] Speaker 1: to just give up. That is Steph Curry. That's Jimmy Butler.
[1:13:39] Speaker 3: Yeah, shot. Moses, moody, mighty, moody, moody.
[1:13:43] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:13:43] Speaker 3: Took the shot, got his own rebound.
[1:13:44] Speaker 1: You see the winners don't give a fuck.
[1:13:48] Speaker 3: Moody, moody, moody, mighty.
[1:13:49] Speaker 5: I hope he shoot it.
[1:13:51] Speaker 1: We had that spread hot.
[1:13:53] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[1:13:53] Speaker 3: No issue with that? Just the lack of effort, energy?
[1:13:57] Speaker 6: Nah, you keep playing until the game is over.
[1:14:00] Speaker 3: To zeroes? Did you see that, right?
[1:14:04] Speaker 5: The teams that's winning don't give a.
[1:14:05] Speaker 3: Fuck, right?
[1:14:07] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
[1:14:08] Speaker 5: It's always the loser who actually is offended about sportsmanship.
[1:14:13] Speaker 3: But they don't consider this.
[1:14:16] Speaker 5: You shot the ball... You came down on offense and
[1:14:20] Speaker 5: tried to get to your bag before I got the ball.
[1:14:24] Speaker 5: That's fine. But if I try to score, it's a problem.
[1:14:29] Speaker 5: If you want sportsmen like us to start with you,
[1:14:32] Speaker 5: give up.
[1:14:33] Speaker 3: Give up?
[1:14:34] Speaker 2: Give the fuck up.
[1:14:35] Speaker 5: Hold the ball right there, let the time out.
[1:14:37] Speaker 3: Now I know.
[1:14:38] Speaker 5: But if you're going to sit here and try to
[1:14:39] Speaker 5: go on me, don't push me because I tried to
[1:14:43] Speaker 5: score on you. You just tried to get two fucking points.
[1:14:45] Speaker 5: That's the most irritating shit ever. You motherfuckers go on
[1:14:50] Speaker 5: offense four or five times trying to get the lead back.
[1:14:54] Speaker 1: And then I get the ball scored too fast for you.
[1:14:57] Speaker 5: Now you want to get mad? Now you want to
[1:14:59] Speaker 5: be all rowdy and pouty? Get the fuck out of here, man.
[1:15:02] Speaker 5: Y'all goofy for that.
[1:15:04] Speaker 1: Damn.
[1:15:04] Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait.
[1:15:05] Speaker 5: Like, I can say there's 46 seconds left. We down 10,
[1:15:09] Speaker 5: and I just hold the ball and let the time
[1:15:12] Speaker 5: run out. And then I give it to you. If
[1:15:14] Speaker 5: you try to score, that's offensive. But if I sit
[1:15:17] Speaker 5: here and try to... bop you and score two points,
[1:15:21] Speaker 5: and then.
[1:15:21] Speaker 1: You come down here and try to score, then I
[1:15:22] Speaker 1: get mad to push you.
[1:15:24] Speaker 2: Hey, man, strangers shouldn't happen.
[1:15:27] Speaker 3: Now, that is weak, though.
[1:15:28] Speaker 5: Weak nigga shit, man.
[1:15:29] Speaker 1: T-Mac scored in, what, 30 seconds?
[1:15:30] Speaker 5: Weak nigga shit, man.
[1:15:32] Speaker 3: I like that, bro. If I'm him, I'm going to
[1:15:33] Speaker 3: keep playing. I got my rebound.
[1:15:35] Speaker 4: I got my missed shot.
[1:15:36] Speaker 3: That's a tough situation, bro. They didn't give two shits.
[1:15:40] Speaker 2: He took two shots.
[1:15:41] Speaker 1: Nobody even flinched at that man.
[1:15:43] Speaker 3: That's tough. That's a tough situation. You don't think so? Yeah, yeah.
[1:15:46] Speaker 1: The winner don't care, man.
[1:15:47] Speaker 2: The winner don't care, but still, you're like, ah. But listen,
[1:15:50] Speaker 2: if I'm Denver.
[1:15:50] Speaker 4: I would have got the ball out, and I would
[1:15:52] Speaker 4: have tried to go down the score.
[1:15:52] Speaker 1: You hear the player, star player, shoot that motherfucker. So
[1:15:55] Speaker 1: you confused, like, shit, what the fuck to do? Look
[1:15:58] Speaker 1: at it like this.
[1:15:58] Speaker 5: You try to score on me, I should be able
[1:16:00] Speaker 5: to try to score on you.
[1:16:01] Speaker 2: But if he missed, though, like, you should feel like
[1:16:03] Speaker 2: you would right there.
[1:16:05] Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to feel like you have.
[1:16:06] Speaker 3: To go back.
[1:16:07] Speaker 2: If I'm down, if I'm up 10 and you see
[1:16:09] Speaker 2: a nigga trying so hard to make a shot and
[1:16:12] Speaker 2: he missed, that's, that's just, no, it's over.
[1:16:14] Speaker 1: Nah.
[1:16:14] Speaker 5: Cool.
[1:16:15] Speaker 3: So you're going to go.
[1:16:16] Speaker 2: Back after him? If I try to score, why you mad?
[1:16:18] Speaker 1: But you won if you got to stop.
[1:16:20] Speaker 5: But you just tried to score.
[1:16:22] Speaker 1: You tried to embarrass me.
[1:16:23] Speaker 2: But you stopped him.
[1:16:24] Speaker 5: Cool, but you just tried to score.
[1:16:27] Speaker 4: Don't do it. It's over now.
[1:16:28] Speaker 2: Oh, it ain't.
[1:16:29] Speaker 5: It ain't over.
[1:16:30] Speaker 2: But no, it's been over. It ain't over.
[1:16:31] Speaker 5: Don't then talk sportsmanship.
[1:16:33] Speaker 3: He can't go back because I got the ball now. No, no.
[1:16:36] Speaker 3: What you mean?
[1:16:37] Speaker 4: Yeah, then I got the boat like he scored it
[1:16:39] Speaker 4: at a right.
[1:16:39] Speaker 3: I got it.
[1:16:40] Speaker 6: No, I know how to go back at you now
[1:16:42] Speaker 6: fuck all that Now you don't get a chance now.
[1:16:45] Speaker 5: No, I do you don't get the ball.
[1:16:46] Speaker 1: Yes, you do.
[1:16:47] Speaker 4: Yes, you do I'm gonna come down boy.
[1:16:49] Speaker 3: Let's go.
[1:16:49] Speaker 2: I got I think this is I.
[1:17:00] Speaker 5: I got it now.
[1:17:01] Speaker 4: I just don't, I just don't, I got it now.
[1:17:03] Speaker 3: Now what?
[1:17:03] Speaker 4: Time's going to go, we're going to let time go.
[1:17:05] Speaker 3: Nah, watch out.
[1:17:05] Speaker 6: I'm about to be petty too. You want to be petty?
[1:17:07] Speaker 6: I'm petty now. Come get this work.
[1:17:09] Speaker 2: So y'all saying to tell the people to give up,
[1:17:11] Speaker 2: no matter, if you keep.
[1:17:13] Speaker 4: Playing to the end, I'm going to keep playing.
[1:17:15] Speaker 5: Here's the issue. It's only in basketball. This only happens
[1:17:21] Speaker 5: in basketball for some odd reason. When a team gets
[1:17:26] Speaker 5: up on you, they want the winners to now play
[1:17:30] Speaker 5: babysit basketball. AAU, they don't want you to press no more.
[1:17:34] Speaker 5: They want you to allow their team to run their offense,
[1:17:38] Speaker 5: and then you're supposed to stall while.
[1:17:40] Speaker 1: They're playing hard.
[1:17:41] Speaker 5: In the NBA, they want you to sub out.
[1:17:44] Speaker 1: You're up 20.
[1:17:44] Speaker 5: They want you to sub out your starters while their
[1:17:47] Speaker 5: starters is still in the game. Then when they come back,
[1:17:51] Speaker 5: now you got to put your starters back in. And
[1:17:53] Speaker 5: then if this team wins, now it's, oh, my God,
[1:17:56] Speaker 5: look at the miracle. It ain't no fucking miracle.
[1:18:00] Speaker 1: You are forcing me to sub my players out so
[1:18:03] Speaker 1: these sorry.
[1:18:03] Speaker 5: Motherfuckers who have been beating up all day can come
[1:18:05] Speaker 5: back and have a chance of winning.
[1:18:08] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:18:09] Speaker 5: If you want me to sub my starters out, you
[1:18:13] Speaker 5: sub yours out. As long as your starters is in,
[1:18:16] Speaker 5: my starters is in. We practice two hours a day
[1:18:20] Speaker 5: trying to whoop ass. And then you're saying there's this rule.
[1:18:23] Speaker 4: Of giving up.
[1:18:25] Speaker 5: We're taught play till the whistle ends. But there's this
[1:18:28] Speaker 5: unwritten rule that says when you're up a lot. feel
[1:18:33] Speaker 5: sorry for these professional bastards that can't take a ass
[1:18:37] Speaker 5: whooping that they've been taking all fucking game.
[1:18:39] Speaker 6: Did you call them professional bastards? Or they want you
[1:18:41] Speaker 6: to put the guys on the bench?
[1:18:43] Speaker 5: I thought when we sub our benches, boom, the score
[1:18:47] Speaker 5: is 0-0.
[1:18:48] Speaker 1: Go out.
[1:18:48] Speaker 5: If you up 20... If I'm up 20, I'm trying
[1:18:50] Speaker 5: to be up 22. Yeah.
[1:18:53] Speaker 3: I'm rolling.
[1:18:53] Speaker 4: The fuck you talking about?
[1:18:55] Speaker 2: That was the Kobe mentality.
[1:18:56] Speaker 4: What was that Kobe, what he did with them girls?
[1:18:59] Speaker 3: 76.
[1:19:00] Speaker 5: I beat your ass.
[1:19:01] Speaker 2: One of my favorite photos of all time.
[1:19:04] Speaker 4: What kids are doing a rap beat? Them just keep
[1:19:06] Speaker 4: stomping on you. It's only you.
[1:19:08] Speaker 2: Tighten up. It's only used when you want to use it.
[1:19:12] Speaker 2: So you up 20 in the fourth quarter. Say four minutes.
[1:19:18] Speaker 1: Four minutes. Four minutes. You don't want to come get
[1:19:21] Speaker 1: subbed out?
[1:19:23] Speaker 4: Are there starters in the game?
[1:19:25] Speaker 5: I'm subbing my... Usually, I'm going to sub my starters out.
[1:19:28] Speaker 5: The fuck are you going to do?
[1:19:29] Speaker 3: Keep yours in?
[1:19:30] Speaker 1: No, bud.
[1:19:31] Speaker 4: You're down 20.
[1:19:31] Speaker 1: You're down 20. Are you going to sub your starters
[1:19:34] Speaker 1: out as the losers?
[1:19:36] Speaker 2: Don't you know, as a coach, most coaches do that.
[1:19:39] Speaker 4: No, they don't.
[1:19:39] Speaker 3: Are you, though? Are you?
[1:19:41] Speaker 6: Are you going to sub your starters out if you're
[1:19:42] Speaker 6: down 20 with four minutes?
[1:19:43] Speaker 3: Or are you going to be like, we have a chance?
[1:19:44] Speaker 4: You know you ain't got no chance to come back.
[1:19:46] Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to see what else I got. You
[1:19:49] Speaker 1: need new energy.
[1:19:50] Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is.
[1:19:51] Speaker 2: Make a sub.
[1:19:52] Speaker 4: But what he's saying is those guys, if those guys
[1:19:54] Speaker 4: come in the game and start playing the way you
[1:19:56] Speaker 4: don't like, is it bad on the sub guys?
[1:19:59] Speaker 1: No.
[1:20:01] Speaker 5: I thought the unwritten rule is when we sub our
[1:20:04] Speaker 5: starters out and we put our bench in, the score
[1:20:08] Speaker 5: is 0-0. I didn't know my team that's up 20, that's.
[1:20:14] Speaker 1: Trying to get more playing time, can't shoot the ball.
[1:20:16] Speaker 1: Because I'm judging these motherfuckers for real.
[1:20:18] Speaker 4: It's called running the score up. No, because it was 0-0.
[1:20:23] Speaker 3: No, it wasn't.
[1:20:23] Speaker 4: It's just 0-0 in your mind and everybody else's mind.
[1:20:26] Speaker 3: We up 20. Yeah.
[1:20:27] Speaker 4: We up 20. So it ain't 0-0 when the subs in.
[1:20:30] Speaker 4: If the subs give up, if your subs bring the
[1:20:33] Speaker 4: score down to 10, we got to, with two minutes left,
[1:20:37] Speaker 4: we got to think differently. But if we go up
[1:20:40] Speaker 4: 10 with our bench guys in... We're looking at our
[1:20:43] Speaker 4: bench guys like, don't try to run the score up.
[1:20:45] Speaker 4: We're already, we up 30 now. But if they happen to,
[1:20:49] Speaker 4: just because y'all playing competitively.
[1:20:50] Speaker 3: Wait, hold it, wait.
[1:20:51] Speaker 4: If you scoring and we scoring and you.
[1:20:52] Speaker 2: Scoring and we scoring, that happened.
[1:20:55] Speaker 4: But if it's like on some purpose, like, yeah, we
[1:20:57] Speaker 4: trying to run the score up, you know what that
[1:20:59] Speaker 4: look like. You know what run the score up look like.
[1:21:02] Speaker 6: What's your approach every time y'all go to a basketball game?
[1:21:05] Speaker 6: What's your approach when you're playing? You're trying to kill
[1:21:07] Speaker 6: the opponent team, right?
[1:21:08] Speaker 5: No mercy, right?
[1:21:09] Speaker 3: You want them to know that.
[1:21:10] Speaker 4: But you know what we're talking about when we're talking
[1:21:12] Speaker 4: about running up to score. Yeah, no, I got to
[1:21:15] Speaker 4: play basketball. But it's your starter still in the game. No,
[1:21:17] Speaker 4: we already established that.
[1:21:20] Speaker 6: Okay, so if both our benches is in, then it's
[1:21:22] Speaker 6: free play. You go ahead.
[1:21:23] Speaker 1: I don't care if we up. Go up 40. Go
[1:21:25] Speaker 1: up 50.
[1:21:25] Speaker 3: If my bench is doing it.
[1:21:26] Speaker 4: But then what does that say about your team?
[1:21:29] Speaker 5: What does it say about your team?
[1:21:31] Speaker 4: I mean, your team is sorry as hell. You motherfuckers
[1:21:32] Speaker 4: are sorry.
[1:21:33] Speaker 2: Your team is sorry.
[1:21:35] Speaker 1: Go get in the gym.
[1:21:37] Speaker 4: But then you're going to complain if we put our
[1:21:39] Speaker 4: starters back in.
[1:21:40] Speaker 6: Then I'm going to keep my starters in, though. That's
[1:21:42] Speaker 6: what I'm saying. If you keep your starters in, I'm
[1:21:44] Speaker 6: going to keep my starters in.
[1:21:45] Speaker 5: Think about what we're saying here. Let's say we're up 30, right?
[1:21:51] Speaker 5: And the six-minute timeout, right? You take your five out. Obviously,
[1:21:56] Speaker 5: we'd be looking.
[1:21:57] Speaker 1: All right, bench, come in. We do the same.
[1:21:59] Speaker 2: We match you.
[1:22:00] Speaker 1: Bench, come in.
[1:22:02] Speaker 2: I'm supposed to tell.
[1:22:03] Speaker 5: My team, run the clock, why your team is going
[1:22:06] Speaker 5: to go full motion.
[1:22:08] Speaker 3: With a minute left?
[1:22:09] Speaker 4: Six minutes. It don't matter.
[1:22:12] Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, your team.
[1:22:13] Speaker 4: What we were just talking about was the last 10 seconds.
[1:22:16] Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is, your team.
[1:22:17] Speaker 3: We're talking about the last 10. It's like running up
[1:22:19] Speaker 3: the score.
[1:22:20] Speaker 4: Boom, boom, boom. We're like, come on, bro.
[1:22:22] Speaker 1: But what your team is, the losers are playing.
[1:22:25] Speaker 4: But you're down 30.
[1:22:26] Speaker 1: But your team is still shooting.
[1:22:27] Speaker 3: There's no reason for that.
[1:22:28] Speaker 1: Yes, it is. Oh, shit.
[1:22:30] Speaker 4: I'm trying to get mine, too.
[1:22:31] Speaker 1: I don't play either.
[1:22:32] Speaker 4: We get that. But you're down 30.
[1:22:35] Speaker 2: But I know. But you coming down getting yours. I
[1:22:38] Speaker 2: don't get mine.
[1:22:39] Speaker 1: But that backfires, too, though.
[1:22:41] Speaker 5: But it don't matter because no one's looking. One team
[1:22:45] Speaker 5: is told to come in and don't do nothing. The
[1:22:47] Speaker 5: other team is just go out there and play hard.
[1:22:49] Speaker 5: So you coming in, me and you are facing each other.
[1:22:51] Speaker 5: You come here with one minute left. You are allowed
[1:22:54] Speaker 5: to go at me. No one judges you.
[1:22:56] Speaker 1: I got to get the ball to run by offense now?
[1:22:59] Speaker 1: We're just talking about what we're talking about.
[1:23:02] Speaker 4: That's not good for the mental. Let's talk about what
[1:23:03] Speaker 4: we're talking about, though.
[1:23:04] Speaker 1: That's not good for the mental.
[1:23:05] Speaker 4: Moses Moody looked crazy.
[1:23:06] Speaker 1: Why?
[1:23:07] Speaker 5: He didn't look crazy.
[1:23:08] Speaker 4: He didn't look crazy because he's not down 30.
[1:23:10] Speaker 5: No, he didn't look crazy because he's down.
[1:23:12] Speaker 1: Down 30.
[1:23:12] Speaker 4: If you're down 30, you look crazy because we got
[1:23:17] Speaker 4: you down 30 and we look at you like, come on, man.
[1:23:19] Speaker 4: And then you get the rebound.
[1:23:21] Speaker 5: Come on, bro.
[1:23:24] Speaker 4: It's like you're trying to patch the stats and some shit.
[1:23:26] Speaker 5: Yeah, but if you're down 30 with two minutes left,
[1:23:29] Speaker 5: every time you shoot the ball, the game.
[1:23:31] Speaker 1: Is over, but you're still shooting.
[1:23:32] Speaker 4: When you're dragging the clock out, right, and that dude
[1:23:35] Speaker 4: is trying to steal the ball from you, are you
[1:23:36] Speaker 4: not mad at him?
[1:23:38] Speaker 3: Are you not mad at that dude?
[1:23:39] Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
[1:23:40] Speaker 4: The guy that's trying to... You're down 10. It's five seconds. No,
[1:23:45] Speaker 4: but you're trying to.
[1:23:46] Speaker 1: The guy who's up 10, the defense is trying to steal.
[1:23:48] Speaker 5: Bro, It's usually the defense.
[1:23:51] Speaker 4: That's trying to still play hard.
[1:23:54] Speaker 5: The offense is sitting here doing this.
[1:23:56] Speaker 4: Trying to drain the clock out.
[1:23:58] Speaker 1: Listen to what I'm saying.
[1:23:59] Speaker 5: See, y'all are arguing on my side now. The guy
[1:24:02] Speaker 5: who's up is wasting the time because he's not allowed
[1:24:05] Speaker 5: to score. The defense is still allowed to play 100%.
[1:24:10] Speaker 2: So he can steal the ball and go score.
[1:24:12] Speaker 4: But what are we doing, Gil? We're draining the clock out.
[1:24:15] Speaker 4: The winners is draining the clock. Because why? The game
[1:24:19] Speaker 4: is out of reach. So there's no reason. This is
[1:24:22] Speaker 4: the NBA thing. That's what we're saying. He's dragging the
[1:24:25] Speaker 4: clock out. Bro, why are you trying to steal the ball?
[1:24:29] Speaker 1: No one talks about that person. No one talks about
[1:24:35] Speaker 1: the loser still playing hard because that's what he's supposed
[1:24:38] Speaker 1: to do.
[1:24:38] Speaker 2: The loser's supposed to play till the clock ends.
[1:24:41] Speaker 1: The winners are supposed to hold the ball and.
[1:24:44] Speaker 5: Do all this dumb shit and all that stuff.
[1:24:46] Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't even practice that.
[1:24:48] Speaker 1: The loser has never been pushed out of bounds or
[1:24:52] Speaker 1: no shit like that.
[1:24:53] Speaker 2: Game three against the Rockets. We was up 20. Yeah,
[1:24:57] Speaker 2: I was on a swaggy peeve mode.
[1:24:58] Speaker 1: Steve Kerr took me out because he was like, you're.
[1:25:00] Speaker 2: Going to get mad.
[1:25:01] Speaker 5: Are you not listening, nigga? The winner is supposed to
[1:25:05] Speaker 5: not choose. I'm talking about the loser. Listen to what
[1:25:09] Speaker 5: I'm saying. You're the winner.
[1:25:11] Speaker 2: But the game was out of reach.
[1:25:12] Speaker 5: You're supposed to, as the winner, hold the ball. You're
[1:25:16] Speaker 5: not supposed to play hard. The other team that's losing
[1:25:20] Speaker 5: gets to go as hard as they want. That's what
[1:25:23] Speaker 5: I'm saying.
[1:25:23] Speaker 3: Wait, how is that fair? You mean fair.
[1:25:26] Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
[1:25:28] Speaker 3: As a basketball player.
[1:25:29] Speaker 2: No.
[1:25:29] Speaker 4: Because if we can run the clock down, we can
[1:25:32] Speaker 4: run the clock down. You can play as hard as
[1:25:34] Speaker 4: you want.
[1:25:35] Speaker 2: It don't matter. Five, four minutes.
[1:25:37] Speaker 4: And we ride it all the way down to the...
[1:25:40] Speaker 4: We turn over. All right, y'all got it now. Now,
[1:25:42] Speaker 4: you take the ball out, and you try to do
[1:25:45] Speaker 4: your thing, and you miss, and.
[1:25:46] Speaker 3: We get it again.
[1:25:47] Speaker 4: We're looking at you like, hey, bro, let the fucking
[1:25:50] Speaker 4: clock go out, bro. God damn. You got 18 more points.
[1:25:54] Speaker 5: And you do.
[1:25:55] Speaker 4: That again, and I get the ball, and I go
[1:25:58] Speaker 4: score again.
[1:25:58] Speaker 5: So how does he look?
[1:25:59] Speaker 4: How does he look? Realistically, how does he look?
[1:26:02] Speaker 1: Mama.
[1:26:06] Speaker 2: The ball and did some crazy shit.
[1:26:08] Speaker 6: Realistically, he looked like he played to the end.
[1:26:12] Speaker 2: No.
[1:26:12] Speaker 6: He looked like he played to the end. People got
[1:26:15] Speaker 6: minutes off that shit.
[1:26:17] Speaker 2: If you're 20 with like 40 minutes left, you can
[1:26:19] Speaker 2: play hard all the way up until about that 35,
[1:26:21] Speaker 2: 40 seconds left.
[1:26:22] Speaker 4: When you know the game's over.
[1:26:23] Speaker 1: When you know the game's over.
[1:26:24] Speaker 2: If you still trying to go out that nigga on offense,
[1:26:26] Speaker 2: y'all see.
[1:26:26] Speaker 5: See, again, y'all, you're speaking what I'm saying.
[1:26:29] Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
[1:26:31] Speaker 5: On offense, you're not allowed to go hard when you're up.
[1:26:35] Speaker 4: The defense can go hard all the way up.
[1:26:37] Speaker 5: If you haven't paid attention, dog, everybody who's up, if
[1:26:43] Speaker 5: they score, the losing team gets mad. Yes. But the
[1:26:48] Speaker 5: losing team always shot the ball before the winning team
[1:26:53] Speaker 5: did it at the end. But if the losing team
[1:26:56] Speaker 5: keeps trying to pack their stats, no one says nothing.
[1:26:59] Speaker 4: It depends on how, too.
[1:27:00] Speaker 1: No, it's not.
[1:27:01] Speaker 4: No, it's called a dagger. You know what a dagger is?
[1:27:03] Speaker 4: You motherfuckers keep doing that, and then dagger. That should
[1:27:07] Speaker 4: put them to sleep. That should be the nail in
[1:27:09] Speaker 4: the coffin. That should make them give up. I thought
[1:27:11] Speaker 4: off the back door trying to duck the bitch. Yeah,
[1:27:13] Speaker 4: I'm going to take you out.
[1:27:14] Speaker 5: The winners don't do that. Losers always do that.
[1:27:17] Speaker 3: Right, nobody's doing that. Well, you got to knock them out.
[1:27:18] Speaker 1: We did that.
[1:27:19] Speaker 3: Knock them out the box.
[1:27:20] Speaker 1: Well, speaking of knocking out the box and nails in
[1:27:22] Speaker 1: the coffin, let's keep this thing moving.
[1:27:24] Speaker 3: This next topic has a lot to do with that.
[1:27:26] Speaker 1: So back when LeBron surpassed the 50,000 point mark, Gil
[1:27:30] Speaker 1: said that media types like Skip Bayless haven't opened their
[1:27:33] Speaker 1: eyes to what LeBron has been doing this whole time.
[1:27:35] Speaker 1: Skip decided to respond to Gil and issue a challenge
[1:27:38] Speaker 1: on his podcast. And I may mention, his podcast is
[1:27:40] Speaker 1: also on YouTube like ours. While our podcast does very,
[1:27:43] Speaker 1: very good numbers, his... Little struggle mode, so might be
[1:27:46] Speaker 1: bad to you, Gil. But let's take a look at
[1:27:48] Speaker 1: the clip.
[1:27:49] Speaker 8: After LeBron passed 50,000 points, I posted a video applauding
[1:27:54] Speaker 8: LeBron for his astonishing longevity. Gilbert responded on his show
[1:27:59] Speaker 8: by saying, if I just opened my eyes, I would
[1:28:03] Speaker 8: have seen LeBron's greatness from day one. I am here
[1:28:07] Speaker 8: to tell you, I have never been anything but fair
[1:28:09] Speaker 8: and honest in my assessment of LeBron James. From day one,
[1:28:14] Speaker 8: he was the best passer in basketball. From the start,
[1:28:18] Speaker 8: I said he was the greatest driver of the basketball
[1:28:21] Speaker 8: I had ever seen. Yet from the very start, in
[1:28:24] Speaker 8: late and close situations, LeBron almost always opted to pull
[1:28:29] Speaker 8: up and attempt deep threes instead of just attacking the basket,
[1:28:34] Speaker 8: what he did greater than anybody. He feared the late
[1:28:37] Speaker 8: game free throw line.
[1:28:39] Speaker 2: I not making this up, Gilbert.
[1:28:41] Speaker 4: I do my homework.
[1:28:43] Speaker 1: I actually watch the games.
[1:28:44] Speaker 2: I actually love watching the games. I'm addicted.
[1:28:48] Speaker 4: I know you got a lot going on.
[1:28:50] Speaker 8: Maybe it just slipped your mind. But whatever, I would
[1:28:53] Speaker 8: still love to share the air with you, go back
[1:28:56] Speaker 8: and forth on all of the above.
[1:28:58] Speaker 1: Let's do it.
[1:28:59] Speaker 2: How about next week?
[1:29:00] Speaker 1: Let me know, man.
[1:29:01] Speaker 3: Let me know, man.
[1:29:04] Speaker 1: Let me know, man.
[1:29:06] Speaker 3: John Edward Bayliss II.
[1:29:07] Speaker 1: That was a nice invite. Looking like a member of
[1:29:10] Speaker 1: Heaven's Gate. You can Google that, people, for those who
[1:29:12] Speaker 1: don't remember. Looking like Skeletor. And Gil, you have the
[1:29:16] Speaker 1: cosmic key. He's... Yo, what is your response to Skip Bayless?
[1:29:23] Speaker 1: He calls more than 150. He's trying to cheat you.
[1:29:27] Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Skip.
[1:29:28] Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Skip. I think... I guess you don't know me.
[1:29:36] Speaker 5: When I first heard you were actually wanting to debate,
[1:29:41] Speaker 5: I needed to know what you were going to debate about.
[1:29:44] Speaker 1: Right?
[1:29:45] Speaker 5: And because I know who you are, I know you're
[1:29:47] Speaker 5: debating style, I knew that was a trap.
[1:29:51] Speaker 3: So, but I know you're impulsive.
[1:29:53] Speaker 5: Which means if I ignore you, you're going to do
[1:29:55] Speaker 5: exactly what you did and give me your hand. Now,
[1:29:58] Speaker 5: those 15 minutes that you put up there, I've done
[1:30:03] Speaker 5: dissected that shit for the last 17 to 18 hours.
[1:30:08] Speaker 1: Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
[1:30:09] Speaker 5: Right?
[1:30:09] Speaker 3: So I won.
[1:30:11] Speaker 5: Yep.
[1:30:12] Speaker 3: I haven't slept.
[1:30:14] Speaker 5: One, you can't use a teleprompter against me. I can
[1:30:19] Speaker 5: spot that shit from out of the way. That's one.
[1:30:22] Speaker 5: Two is when you want to talk facts against someone
[1:30:25] Speaker 5: like me, you use all the facts, not what you
[1:30:28] Speaker 5: want to pinpoint. So when you want to pinpoint something
[1:30:31] Speaker 5: to make a point, that is hard to do when
[1:30:34] Speaker 5: we talk about all of basketball. I will respond soon,
[1:30:42] Speaker 5: and I'm going to tell you it's not going to
[1:30:44] Speaker 5: be pretty. I'm going to be gentle, but it's going
[1:30:47] Speaker 5: to be, yeah. You're in my world now. But you
[1:30:56] Speaker 5: shouldn't have played your hand. You should have tried to
[1:30:58] Speaker 5: get me on the show or came on the show,
[1:31:00] Speaker 5: and I don't know what you're going to talk about,
[1:31:02] Speaker 5: so I'm not prepared. I've researched everything from 1977, And
[1:31:10] Speaker 5: I know you don't remember, like print, we can't Google.
[1:31:13] Speaker 1: Print now, but I found print.
[1:31:16] Speaker 3: Microphone.
[1:31:17] Speaker 5: I noticed your style before 2004.
[1:31:19] Speaker 1: Get him.
[1:31:19] Speaker 3: And it don't sound the same as today.
[1:31:25] Speaker 5: You proved my point at the beginning of the video
[1:31:27] Speaker 5: when you said, what is there bad to say about
[1:31:29] Speaker 5: LeBron James? I mean, Michael Jordan, he was perfect.
[1:31:35] Speaker 3: Is that how he did it, Gil? That was a voice?
[1:31:37] Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, how he looked for Michael Jordan, when
[1:31:43] Speaker 5: he said Michael Jordan's name, the joy he has is
[1:31:47] Speaker 5: exactly what I was saying. You don't love the game.
[1:31:53] Speaker 5: You love a player. That's the difference between me and you.
[1:31:58] Speaker 5: I don't think you know I have Michael Jordan as
[1:32:01] Speaker 5: number one, but I love the game so much that
[1:32:05] Speaker 5: you think I have LeBron James as the GOAT. Now
[1:32:08] Speaker 5: I have Michael Jordan as the GOAT. My favorite player
[1:32:11] Speaker 5: is Kobe. I just respect greatness across the board. So
[1:32:15] Speaker 5: I don't sit there and depict someone's greatness and just
[1:32:19] Speaker 5: look for only flaws. I'll see you in about 40
[1:32:24] Speaker 5: to 72 hours, and it's not going to be pretty.
[1:32:26] Speaker 5: You're going to have to do another video.
[1:32:27] Speaker 1: 40 to 72 hours?
[1:32:29] Speaker 5: Those 15 minutes that you put up there.
[1:32:32] Speaker 1: Sir, pointing out a game four and a game, and.
[1:32:36] Speaker 5: I said he was a great passer, and he made
[1:32:40] Speaker 5: layups great. Not a great player. A great layup guy
[1:32:46] Speaker 5: and a great passer. That's the problem right there. You
[1:32:51] Speaker 5: point to what you want to talk about.
[1:32:54] Speaker 3: Yeah, where's the smoker? Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
[1:32:57] Speaker 3: We don't need no smoker. No smoker's good.
[1:32:59] Speaker 4: No, no, no.
[1:33:00] Speaker 5: This is going to be a nice, gentle cut-up.
[1:33:05] Speaker 3: Nice job.
[1:33:05] Speaker 1: Okay.
[1:33:06] Speaker 3: I would have thought you was a champion the way
[1:33:07] Speaker 3: you was talking.
[1:33:08] Speaker 2: Oh, no.
[1:33:08] Speaker 3: That was good. All right. That was good, bro.
[1:33:11] Speaker 2: That was good. I told you I didn't sleep.
[1:33:13] Speaker 5: I got shit from 1977 when he was with the
[1:33:16] Speaker 5: Los Angeles Lakers. I mean, I got interview on top
[1:33:20] Speaker 5: of interview that he has done.
[1:33:22] Speaker 3: He calls you Gilbert.
[1:33:24] Speaker 1: He calls you Gilbert.
[1:33:24] Speaker 3: He calls you Gilbert. Yeah, he kind of sounds like...
[1:33:29] Speaker 3: That R was very hard on you. You were 150.
[1:33:32] Speaker 1: That R was good.
[1:33:33] Speaker 4: You really hit hard. Good night, buddy. I'm not going
[1:33:36] Speaker 4: to bring him on the show?
[1:33:38] Speaker 3: After that dinner, I'm on that.
[1:33:40] Speaker 1: We're not going to bring him on the show? He
[1:33:42] Speaker 1: said he want a bunch of mayonnaise if he comes on.
[1:33:43] Speaker 1: I don't know if we can. Hey, what's up with
[1:33:45] Speaker 1: all these wearing black?
[1:33:46] Speaker 4: Why all of them wear black?
[1:33:48] Speaker 1: Black turtleneck? Miguel, serious question. Do you feel like Skip
[1:33:50] Speaker 1: is baiting.
[1:33:51] Speaker 3: You right now? For sure.
[1:33:52] Speaker 1: Baiting me? No, no. No, he was baiting me before.
[1:33:56] Speaker 1: And what level of baiting would you say that was?
[1:33:58] Speaker 1: Was he a novice baiter?
[1:34:01] Speaker 5: No.
[1:34:05] Speaker 1: I can't say.
[1:34:07] Speaker 5: What I'm saying is because I've actually studied him, I
[1:34:09] Speaker 5: studied what made him great, what makes him great. I
[1:34:13] Speaker 5: have the respect how these guys got famous and what
[1:34:18] Speaker 5: they put into this game. Like, no negative, no positive.
[1:34:22] Speaker 5: It's 20-something years. He's done built Stephen A.
[1:34:25] Speaker 2: Smith.
[1:34:25] Speaker 5: He's built Shannon. Like, he's built what his empire is.
[1:34:30] Speaker 5: Takes dedication. It takes skill.
[1:34:33] Speaker 3: So I wanted to know how.
[1:34:36] Speaker 5: He got great. I wanted to know, like he wakes
[1:34:39] Speaker 5: up at 2 a.m. every morning, works out, does his what's-his-name.
[1:34:43] Speaker 5: I know even when he gets to his job, he
[1:34:45] Speaker 5: doesn't talk to the other cast members, so they don't talk.
[1:34:49] Speaker 5: He don't want to talk to you before. He don't
[1:34:52] Speaker 5: want y'all to, he don't want to do this with you,
[1:34:54] Speaker 5: the feedback. He wants to just, everybody do their own studying,
[1:34:58] Speaker 5: and then we go out there and let's go to
[1:35:00] Speaker 5: war to see who's the smarter. I know everything about him,
[1:35:03] Speaker 5: which means this one was serious for me, so I
[1:35:05] Speaker 5: didn't need to sleep. Now he's in my world. And
[1:35:11] Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure if he still wants to come on.
[1:35:13] Speaker 2: After, good luck.
[1:35:17] Speaker 3: Colleague or colonizer, I believe it's. You got to represent.
[1:35:21] Speaker 1: But that's why you don't talk to me before.
[1:35:23] Speaker 5: Brother, brother, I told you, man, I'm about to be...
[1:35:26] Speaker 5: Jordan is his favorite person. I'm about to be Jordan
[1:35:29] Speaker 5: in his third year. Jordan, 87, 88. I'm about to
[1:35:33] Speaker 5: be Jordan's first three rings.
[1:35:36] Speaker 3: I'm about to be Jordan next three.
[1:35:38] Speaker 5: I'm going to be the Jordan you only talk about. Yeah,
[1:35:41] Speaker 5: I'm not going to be that Jordan. I'm not going
[1:35:43] Speaker 5: to be the Jordan the first seven years or them
[1:35:45] Speaker 5: wizard years, God damn it. I'm going to be the
[1:35:47] Speaker 5: Jordan you only talk about six and oh. That's that Jordan.
[1:35:50] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the only Jordan I want to be.
[1:35:53] Speaker 1: What was it, 90s or 98? But, Gil, you don't
[1:35:55] Speaker 1: talk to us before the show either. I just want
[1:35:57] Speaker 1: to point that out. Where you think I got that from? See, Skip,
[1:35:59] Speaker 1: I apply your shit here.
[1:36:02] Speaker 3: But you don't talk to me after the show.
[1:36:03] Speaker 5: We don't mingle. We don't mingle. We don't share thoughts,
[1:36:06] Speaker 5: God damn it. So I appreciate the challenge, and I'm
[1:36:11] Speaker 5: going to take that one.
[1:36:11] Speaker 3: Man, fuck, Skip.
[1:36:12] Speaker 2: Is he the reason why you don't talk to me
[1:36:14] Speaker 2: before the show?

[1:36:17] Speaker 1: That's why I'm like, fuck Hector. Nah, hell nah.

[1:40:40] Speaker 5: They call me Godzilla down there.
[1:40:41] Speaker 1: Yeah, don't chill. You don't fuck that.
[1:40:43] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
[1:40:44] Speaker 3: Let's keep this thing moving. See what he did to
[1:40:45] Speaker 3: my son. Talk some more basketball.
[1:40:47] Speaker 1: You see what I did to Nick's son, right?
[1:40:48] Speaker 4: You see what he did to my son?
[1:40:49] Speaker 2: Uh-huh, yeah.
[1:40:51] Speaker 1: He ain't been over since, goddammit.
[1:40:55] Speaker 3: Neither Mr.
[1:40:55] Speaker 4: B or me.
[1:40:56] Speaker 5: Hey, both these kids got a restraining order on me.
[1:40:59] Speaker 3: For sure. They ain't never walked into this building. Yeah,
[1:41:01] Speaker 3: ain't nothing with you. So let's talk a little bit
[1:41:04] Speaker 3: more about the Warriors.
[1:41:05] Speaker 1: After the Warriors' disappointing loss to the Nuggets last night,
[1:41:07] Speaker 1: Steph Curry admitted he was exhausted, and it showed as
[1:41:10] Speaker 1: Curry shot six for 21, scored 20 points. They asked
[1:41:13] Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler about Steph being exhausted, and here's what Jimmy
[1:41:16] Speaker 1: Butler had to say.
[1:41:17] Speaker 9: Do you see him having, uh, wearing down a little bit?
[1:41:21] Speaker 4: Yeah, um, Nuggets said he was wearing down, but it's
[1:41:23] Speaker 4: okay to be tired.
[1:41:24] Speaker 9: And, um, that's on myself, and that's on us as
[1:41:27] Speaker 9: a unit to pick up the slack for him. Um, he's...
[1:41:32] Speaker 9: You know, as everybody wants to think that he is superhuman,
[1:41:35] Speaker 9: he is not. He is our leader, and we must
[1:41:37] Speaker 9: protect him at all times, I will tell you that.
[1:41:39] Speaker 9: So that's on myself for sure, but everybody else to
[1:41:42] Speaker 9: make sure that we're doing what we're supposed to be
[1:41:44] Speaker 9: doing and give my man a break.
[1:41:47] Speaker 3: That's some champion shit right there. So, Mr.
[1:41:51] Speaker 5: Larry.
[1:41:52] Speaker 3: He brought out the other belt.
[1:41:53] Speaker 1: He brought the belt out.
[1:41:55] Speaker 3: Saw you watching that clip.
[1:41:56] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
[1:41:59] Speaker 3: What do you feel about Jimmy Butler's comments? What do
[1:42:01] Speaker 3: you feel about Jimmy Butler's comments? Well, as merely a host,
[1:42:03] Speaker 3: it's not my contract to offer my opinion.
[1:42:05] Speaker 1: You laugh first. You laugh first. I'm very easily amused,
[1:42:08] Speaker 1: and I giggle a lot. But as you all know.
[1:42:15] Speaker 1: Yesterday on the show, we talked about Warriors being a
[1:42:17] Speaker 1: championship-level ball club. Steph said absolutely. When asked if he
[1:42:20] Speaker 1: thinks the Warriors are a championship team, Draymond said we're
[1:42:22] Speaker 1: finally a ball club now with the addition of Jimmy Butler. Mm-hmm.
[1:42:26] Speaker 3: But as J.J.
[1:42:27] Speaker 1: Redick told the Lakers after they lost to the Bucs,
[1:42:28] Speaker 1: it was all good just a week ago. Just a
[1:42:31] Speaker 1: couple days, honestly. But when you hear Jimmy Butler say
[1:42:33] Speaker 1: Steph's exhausted, Steve Kerr echoed those sentiments in his post-game press.
[1:42:36] Speaker 3: Conference as well. Do you feel like the Warriors are
[1:42:39] Speaker 3: relying too much on Steph? I mean, they want to win.
[1:42:43] Speaker 4: Like you said, you believe Steph says they're a championship
[1:42:46] Speaker 4: team because he knows what it takes to get there.
[1:42:50] Speaker 4: He got a lot of shit on his back right now.
[1:42:52] Speaker 4: I know that. Draymond on that Gucci backpack. That's heavy
[1:42:57] Speaker 4: by itself. Just him in the backpack. Got my back hurting.
[1:43:02] Speaker 4: Now I got to carry the rest. Jimmy too. Jimmy
[1:43:06] Speaker 4: too with his soft voice. That's the inside voice, Jimmy.
[1:43:08] Speaker 4: That's golf cart Jimmy. Not confidence coffee. He ain't drunk
[1:43:12] Speaker 4: coffee yet.
[1:43:14] Speaker 3: It's weird, but we'll let it slide.
[1:43:22] Speaker 4: We'll let it slide? We'll let it slide. You're a
[1:43:25] Speaker 4: little sly. You're a little sly. You know Steph. You
[1:43:27] Speaker 4: know he's struggling. Childhood dramas don't lie.
[1:43:30] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. Ain't no championship team. Jimmy's struggling?
[1:43:35] Speaker 4: Steph.
[1:43:36] Speaker 5: Oh.
[1:43:37] Speaker 3: You feel like Steph is struggling, right? Mm-hmm.
[1:43:40] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
[1:43:40] Speaker 3: You got to try to keep it together. You shot
[1:43:43] Speaker 3: from the three yesterday, like three, four, five. Pull it up.
[1:43:49] Speaker 4: He's struggling, but they was, what, 14-1?
[1:43:52] Speaker 3: Yeah. They're 15-2 in.
[1:43:53] Speaker 4: Their last seven games prior to this point.
[1:43:55] Speaker 1: 14-1 with Jimmy Butler in the lineup prior to this game.
[1:43:59] Speaker 6: I mean, I can feel that he's tired because they
[1:44:01] Speaker 6: had to fight back.
[1:44:02] Speaker 3: Yeah. But they're 15-2. Before this game.
[1:44:07] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[1:44:08] Speaker 3: Four for 14 from three last time. Four for 14.
[1:44:10] Speaker 2: I mean, yeah.
[1:44:11] Speaker 1: I mean, shoot or shoot.
[1:44:12] Speaker 3: Yeah. I....
[1:44:15] Speaker 5: Jimmy said it like it's more on him than it
[1:44:17] Speaker 5: is the rest of the team. He came in there
[1:44:21] Speaker 5: to help relieve some of.
[1:44:25] Speaker 3: Steph's load.
[1:44:28] Speaker 5: And I think he's still trying to figure out the
[1:44:34] Speaker 5: game and fit in.
[1:44:35] Speaker 3: And I don't think he.
[1:44:35] Speaker 5: Needs to fit in right now. You have championship pedigree
[1:44:39] Speaker 5: on the team. So I think he should go in
[1:44:42] Speaker 5: there and try to be dominant. so they can see
[1:44:45] Speaker 5: how to play with you. Right now, you're trying to
[1:44:46] Speaker 5: see how to play with them.
[1:44:48] Speaker 3: You need to go in, try to average.
[1:44:50] Speaker 5: You need to be that legit 20-point scorer for them
[1:44:53] Speaker 5: so you don't have to do the heavy lifting.
[1:44:57] Speaker 3: I don't think Jimmy should.
[1:44:58] Speaker 5: How Jimmy's been playing right now, even the first play, curl,
[1:45:02] Speaker 5: he gets in the lane, has a nice little five-footer,
[1:45:05] Speaker 5: and he tries to throw it to a three. That
[1:45:06] Speaker 5: three swung, then they shot a long three. Put those
[1:45:10] Speaker 5: buckets in. You don't need to do the hockey assists.
[1:45:14] Speaker 5: Especially at the beginning of the game, you need to
[1:45:15] Speaker 5: make yourself a threat.
[1:45:16] Speaker 4: Right.
[1:45:17] Speaker 1: And then pick and choose. I mean, you've done it.
[1:45:19] Speaker 5: I can't tell you how to play basketball because you've
[1:45:21] Speaker 5: been there, you've done that. Just right now, at this
[1:45:23] Speaker 5: point in time, he's been.
[1:45:25] Speaker 3: Carrying the season.
[1:45:27] Speaker 5: So you need to relieve some of that because you've
[1:45:29] Speaker 5: got all the energy right now. So relieve some of
[1:45:31] Speaker 5: that so he can take a break without missing games.
[1:45:34] Speaker 3: But ain't Jimmy supposed to know that?
[1:45:36] Speaker 1: No.
[1:45:36] Speaker 3: I don't think he's supposed to.
[1:45:37] Speaker 4: Come on now.
[1:45:38] Speaker 3: He ain't supposed to go all the way in. No, no, no, no, no.
[1:45:40] Speaker 3: We're talking about reading the room.
[1:45:42] Speaker 4: Read the room. Who on your team? Who left your team?
[1:45:46] Speaker 4: Who left this team that I just got to? Who's
[1:45:48] Speaker 4: on this team that I just got to? What's my
[1:45:51] Speaker 4: place on this team?
[1:45:52] Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I mean, you got Draymond, you
[1:45:55] Speaker 1: got Steph. I'm trying to figure it out.
[1:45:57] Speaker 4: Expectations. Let's talk expectations. You're coming from a place where
[1:45:59] Speaker 4: you're the star. You're coming on a team where we
[1:46:02] Speaker 4: expect it. I know, but we're still expecting a star.
[1:46:07] Speaker 5: Right?
[1:46:07] Speaker 4: We got a star, and we're expecting one. Now what
[1:46:10] Speaker 4: we're saying is, Jimmy, step up and be a star.
[1:46:14] Speaker 1: Right?
[1:46:15] Speaker 3: That's what I think we're all saying. Right now.
[1:46:17] Speaker 4: Right now.
[1:46:18] Speaker 1: Jimmy, we need you to be Jimmy.
[1:46:20] Speaker 4: But this was the problem that was happening in Miami.
[1:46:23] Speaker 2: During the season.
[1:46:25] Speaker 3: But we're 15-2.
[1:46:25] Speaker 1: But we're 15-2.
[1:46:26] Speaker 3: Listen to what I'm saying. You're 15-2. Why?
[1:46:29] Speaker 4: What role is Jimmy playing in 15-2?
[1:46:33] Speaker 2: His position.
[1:46:34] Speaker 4: So that's why you're 15-2. They didn't have that in Miami.
[1:46:37] Speaker 4: And Jimmy was unwilling to play 100-15 all the time.
[1:46:41] Speaker 2: It's the only reference.
[1:46:43] Speaker 3: It's the reference.
[1:46:44] Speaker 1: No, because I'm not playing there. I'm not happy there.
[1:46:46] Speaker 1: I'm saying he's been moved to a place. The problem is...
[1:46:49] Speaker 1: But are you happy here?
[1:46:50] Speaker 5: Yes.
[1:46:50] Speaker 3: Okay, so why are you not playing like it?
[1:46:52] Speaker 2: Because they're 15-2.
[1:46:52] Speaker 5: Bro.
[1:46:53] Speaker 2: We're 15-2.
[1:46:53] Speaker 5: Why?
[1:46:57] Speaker 1: Why?
[1:46:58] Speaker 5: Why?
[1:46:58] Speaker 2: Because all of us. Because all of us.
[1:47:00] Speaker 4: The team. All of us. This is not because of Steph.
[1:47:03] Speaker 5: Because of all of us.
[1:47:04] Speaker 4: Yes, but all of us, too.
[1:47:05] Speaker 2: But you made it through 15-2 before I got there.
[1:47:07] Speaker 4: If Steph plays bad, this is Steph's first bad game.
[1:47:12] Speaker 3: Okay.
[1:47:13] Speaker 4: First bad game in 16 games.
[1:47:15] Speaker 5: He knew it.
[1:47:16] Speaker 4: He knew it.
[1:47:17] Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead.
[1:47:18] Speaker 4: He knew it was his first bad game.
[1:47:20] Speaker 3: They were 12-3.
[1:47:21] Speaker 1: To start the season, went through a really nasty slump,
[1:47:23] Speaker 1: and then now have since got it together.
[1:47:24] Speaker 3: Boom.
[1:47:25] Speaker 5: So.
[1:47:26] Speaker 3: Now that you got this.
[1:47:29] Speaker 4: Streak, and then you play bad this one game, and
[1:47:32] Speaker 4: he knows it, he's like, man, I can't afford to
[1:47:35] Speaker 4: play bad. That's what that was. I can't afford to
[1:47:40] Speaker 4: play bad. I can't afford to have nights like this
[1:47:43] Speaker 4: where we look at the sheet and we say, well,
[1:47:46] Speaker 4: we gotta now expect Jimmy.
[1:47:47] Speaker 2: To do more?
[1:47:49] Speaker 4: Okay, Jimmy, so if Jimmy doesn't know to do more,
[1:47:53] Speaker 4: I can't afford to have these games.
[1:47:57] Speaker 3: Because Jimmy's supposed to know.
[1:47:59] Speaker 1: What?
[1:47:59] Speaker 4: Steph not going, I got to pick up the pieces.
[1:48:03] Speaker 4: When Steph going, we going. And then for y'all to
[1:48:05] Speaker 4: admit that he's tired and he looks exhausted because he's
[1:48:07] Speaker 4: been doing so much. Well, that's their opinion, that he
[1:48:10] Speaker 4: ain't say that.
[1:48:11] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:48:11] Speaker 3: Well, he said it.
[1:48:12] Speaker 4: In the press conference that he's tired. Steph said that?
[1:48:14] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:48:15] Speaker 3: He said his back is.
[1:48:16] Speaker 4: Well, he said he feels all right, but his back
[1:48:18] Speaker 4: is tight.
[1:48:19] Speaker 1: Okay.
[1:48:20] Speaker 3: I mean, yeah.
[1:48:20] Speaker 1: I mean, Braun said.
[1:48:21] Speaker 4: I mean, these are guys who.
[1:48:22] Speaker 3: Y'all looking at that wrong.
[1:48:23] Speaker 4: He said he had a bad game. He just said, like,
[1:48:25] Speaker 4: I just had a bad night, to be honest.
[1:48:27] Speaker 5: Okay.
[1:48:27] Speaker 4: He's like, I just had a bad night. And he said,
[1:48:29] Speaker 4: this is the first time in a while that I've
[1:48:31] Speaker 4: really had one. So it's... I get that you guys
[1:48:33] Speaker 4: are worried about whether I'm tired or not because I've
[1:48:36] Speaker 4: been lighting it up like this.
[1:48:37] Speaker 3: But it's nothing to panic around.
[1:48:39] Speaker 5: No, no, what I'm saying is Jimmy Butler came into
[1:48:41] Speaker 5: a situation where he has to fill out the room, right?
[1:48:46] Speaker 5: He's got to make sure that he's fitting in with
[1:48:49] Speaker 5: their program.
[1:48:50] Speaker 3: Right?
[1:48:50] Speaker 5: This is not, he can come in and just do
[1:48:52] Speaker 5: what the fuck he wants to do. He's trying to say, yo,
[1:48:54] Speaker 5: I'm here to win. Whatever you guys need from me,
[1:48:57] Speaker 5: this is what I'm going to do. Well, they've been winning,
[1:49:00] Speaker 5: so there's never been a reason for him to tap
[1:49:02] Speaker 5: into 20 and go to 30. Because how we've been
[1:49:05] Speaker 5: doing it has been working for us. We lost, leaders tired, okay,
[1:49:10] Speaker 5: I'll do more. So we'll see what happens moving forward.
[1:49:14] Speaker 5: As of right now, there was no reason for Jimmy
[1:49:16] Speaker 5: to go out there and just do a whole bunch
[1:49:18] Speaker 5: of stuff because it was successful. Just like with Kaminga.
[1:49:21] Speaker 5: Kaminga had to come in and fit in.
[1:49:23] Speaker 1: Like, we're winning. I don't need you to come in
[1:49:24] Speaker 1: here and do shit. It's working its way. Now we're
[1:49:27] Speaker 1: losing Steph.
[1:49:28] Speaker 3: I mean, we lost.
[1:49:28] Speaker 5: Steph says, hey, my back a little sprained. Now Kaminga
[1:49:32] Speaker 5: needs to be a little more aggressive. Takes the pressure
[1:49:34] Speaker 5: off him. Jimmy, do a little bit more. So he
[1:49:37] Speaker 5: can rest a little bit more.
[1:49:38] Speaker 3: That's all.
[1:49:38] Speaker 4: During that streak though, Kaminga was... Was it Kaminga out
[1:49:42] Speaker 4: half of that streak?
[1:49:42] Speaker 3: Yeah, he was out.
[1:49:43] Speaker 5: Right?
[1:49:43] Speaker 4: So it changes a lot of the dynamics of scoring
[1:49:46] Speaker 4: and other players for him, right? So now that they
[1:49:50] Speaker 4: got that, and we.
[1:49:52] Speaker 3: Asking the question, like, Jimmy.
[1:49:53] Speaker 4: Jimmy got to look like he want to be the
[1:49:55] Speaker 4: second guy.
[1:49:56] Speaker 3: But we have to see now. Like he's been the second.
[1:49:58] Speaker 4: He's watched it last night. But we just seen it
[1:50:00] Speaker 4: last night. That's what I'm saying. The only indication we
[1:50:02] Speaker 4: have right now is last night.
[1:50:03] Speaker 2: You want to win a championship, you got to learn
[1:50:05] Speaker 2: how to fall in line. Everybody got to be as one.
[1:50:08] Speaker 2: He knows Steph is his leader. You go on a
[1:50:12] Speaker 2: 15-1 winning streak, you stick to what was going on.
[1:50:14] Speaker 2: Now Steph is hurt.
[1:50:15] Speaker 1: Not her.
[1:50:16] Speaker 3: Tired.
[1:50:16] Speaker 4: Just a little tired.
[1:50:17] Speaker 3: Tired ball. That big tennis swing. Just a little bite.
[1:50:20] Speaker 4: But ask him if he's going to sit out. Is
[1:50:21] Speaker 4: he going to sit out the game? They play tonight.
[1:50:24] Speaker 4: If he sits out.
[1:50:26] Speaker 2: It's time for Jimmy to get more aggressive and learn
[1:50:30] Speaker 2: how to add that in, too.
[1:50:31] Speaker 5: What I'm saying is even if Steph plays, I think
[1:50:33] Speaker 5: Jimmy is going to probably be more aggressive.
[1:50:35] Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
[1:50:36] Speaker 4: All of them, though.
[1:50:37] Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're going to be more aggressive. So
[1:50:39] Speaker 3: does the more aggressive mean 20-plus? It could be more aggressive.
[1:50:42] Speaker 4: Or does that just mean he's going to have moments
[1:50:44] Speaker 4: of playing hard?
[1:50:46] Speaker 5: No, I think he's going to try to go, he's
[1:50:47] Speaker 5: going to try to relieve some.
[1:50:48] Speaker 3: Of the pressure. I think he plays hard.
[1:50:50] Speaker 4: No, I didn't say he didn't play hard. I'm talking
[1:50:51] Speaker 4: about scoring.
[1:50:52] Speaker 5: Like, being aggressive and.
[1:50:54] Speaker 4: Going to get that shit done is different than just playing,
[1:50:56] Speaker 4: going out there and being Jimmy Butler, playing hard and
[1:50:59] Speaker 4: all that shit.
[1:51:00] Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes, like, we've all been there.
[1:51:01] Speaker 5: We've been on a team where there's something going on
[1:51:04] Speaker 5: and you can't really do you because you don't want
[1:51:07] Speaker 5: to mess up the flow, Joe.
[1:51:08] Speaker 1: And you're waiting for a loss. to say, all right,
[1:51:12] Speaker 1: so y'all need me, right?
[1:51:13] Speaker 5: And then you get to play your game because.
[1:51:15] Speaker 1: They took that L. This is just one of those
[1:51:17] Speaker 1: moments where we get.
[1:51:17] Speaker 5: To see, like, how Kaminga and Jimmy responds today, if.
[1:51:23] Speaker 1: They're going to be more aggressive to see what they have.
[1:51:26] Speaker 3: So we got some news. Steph has been ruled out. Yep,
[1:51:28] Speaker 3: I knew he wasn't going to play.
[1:51:29] Speaker 5: Jimmy's going to have about 25, 28.
[1:51:31] Speaker 4: First the Bucs with the back. At least go for it.
[1:51:35] Speaker 4: Where is the Warriors statistically? Six in the West. How
[1:51:40] Speaker 4: many games up? Six in the West right now, they are.
[1:51:45] Speaker 1: Them and the Timberwolves basically are 17 games behind, but
[1:51:48] Speaker 1: they've got, I think, One less win.
[1:51:51] Speaker 3: The Timberwolves got 40 minutes. So Warriors are 39-29. Timberwolves
[1:51:55] Speaker 3: are 40-30. So Warriors have a better win percentage at
[1:51:57] Speaker 3: this point. It's just one game. So this game right now,
[1:52:00] Speaker 3: even up, if they lose this next game?
[1:52:02] Speaker 1: If they lose this game, then I believe the Timberwolves
[1:52:04] Speaker 1: would jump them for the six-bomb.
[1:52:06] Speaker 3: Warriors would be back in playing.
[1:52:08] Speaker 4: And then what's the rest of their schedule like?
[1:52:11] Speaker 3: Warriors? It's only, what, like 15 games? Yeah, I'll give
[1:52:14] Speaker 3: you that. There'd be six.
[1:52:17] Speaker 1: So they have the Bucks tonight. Then they've got the Raptors, Hawks, Heat, Pelicans, Spurs, Grizzlies, Lakers.
[1:52:24] Speaker 3: Yeah, they're six. Nuggets, Rockets, Suns, Spurs. So they got
[1:52:29] Speaker 3: 14 games left?
[1:52:30] Speaker 4: Those four games are going to be tough. Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets. Yeah, Grizzlies, Lakers, Rockets. Yeah,
[1:52:37] Speaker 4: that's after the skid, though. It's like six games before
[1:52:40] Speaker 4: they can get their momentum back.
[1:52:41] Speaker 1: Them motherfuckers will be on fire by then.
[1:52:42] Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll be on fire by then.
[1:52:44] Speaker 1: Who do you got after this?
[1:52:46] Speaker 3: Raptors, I believe.
[1:52:47] Speaker 5: He might fuck around since two games. He might fuck
[1:52:50] Speaker 5: around since two games.
[1:52:52] Speaker 3: And, you know, Jimmy really owned the Bucs, so.
[1:52:55] Speaker 4: It's... And it's all those or are those home games?
[1:52:59] Speaker 3: Mix, obviously.
[1:53:00] Speaker 2: G.B.
[1:53:00] Speaker 3: What? He own y'all.
[1:53:01] Speaker 5: He own that shit?
[1:53:02] Speaker 1: He owns all that shit.
[1:53:04] Speaker 3: He owns shit.
[1:53:06] Speaker 1: So they've got the Raptors at home.
[1:53:08] Speaker 3: Going to road trips.
[1:53:09] Speaker 1: A road trip, they got the Hawks, Heat, Pelicans.
[1:53:12] Speaker 3: Spurs, Grizzlies, Lakers. Okay, they come back down on the bottom.
[1:53:16] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[1:53:19] Speaker 1: Yeah, six-game road trip to their back.
[1:53:21] Speaker 3: They soon want to be seven. So after tonight's game,
[1:53:24] Speaker 3: or after tonight's game and the Raptors game, six games.
[1:53:26] Speaker 3: They're going to six-game road trip. They want to be
[1:53:27] Speaker 3: seven because you got to play in the playing game
[1:53:29] Speaker 3: to get to seven.
[1:53:30] Speaker 2: You got to play Portland or Dallas in the playing.
[1:53:32] Speaker 3: No, you got to play whoever's eight. So that's Phoenix
[1:53:36] Speaker 3: Suns or Clippers. No, Phoenix is in 12th. Seven and eight.
[1:53:39] Speaker 1: You have to play eight for.
[1:53:41] Speaker 3: The seven spot. For the playing, yeah.
[1:53:44] Speaker 5: So whoever wins between seven and eight, which is the
[1:53:45] Speaker 5: stupidest shit. That is just, I'm sorry, that's just dumb
[1:53:49] Speaker 5: just to think about it. I got to play a
[1:53:50] Speaker 5: motherfucker who's behind me for my spot that I'm in.
[1:53:54] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. I'm five games in front of you,
[1:53:59] Speaker 1: but I got to play you for my spot. So
[1:54:01] Speaker 1: even if you five games in front of you? We'll
[1:54:03] Speaker 1: beat him.
[1:54:03] Speaker 4: Yes.
[1:54:03] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird.
[1:54:04] Speaker 1: I got to play you for this position.
[1:54:07] Speaker 5: That is crazy, man.
[1:54:09] Speaker 3: And knowing you can get that spot.
[1:54:10] Speaker 4: You five games.
[1:54:11] Speaker 1: I'm one game.
[1:54:11] Speaker 2: I'm one game.
[1:54:12] Speaker 1: I'm five.
[1:54:14] Speaker 4: We could go in here and steal this.
[1:54:15] Speaker 2: One good game.
[1:54:15] Speaker 4: Let 8 fight for his motherfucking wild card.
[1:54:17] Speaker 2: You feel like top 7 should make it.
[1:54:19] Speaker 5: Then the 8th should be toss a wild card.
[1:54:21] Speaker 2: Like the wild card game.
[1:54:22] Speaker 3: Let 9 and 10.
[1:54:23] Speaker 2: Play and then winner 9 and 10 play 8.
[1:54:24] Speaker 6: I'm the 7th spot playing the team behind me for
[1:54:26] Speaker 6: my spot.
[1:54:42] Speaker 3: Just doesn't seem.
[1:54:44] Speaker 1: That just doesn't seem right.
[1:54:46] Speaker 3: Especially if you, like, five years.
[1:54:48] Speaker 5: Like, I've been six and seven all fucking year long.
[1:54:52] Speaker 5: This motherfucker been eight, 19, fucking around in the back room.
[1:54:55] Speaker 3: Like, double elimination. Yeah.
[1:54:57] Speaker 4: You can lose twice at the bottom and still be
[1:55:00] Speaker 4: in the championship?
[1:55:01] Speaker 1: Hell no. And then I beat you and I'm seven? Yeah.
[1:55:05] Speaker 3: Hell no.
[1:55:06] Speaker 1: And I don't even get eighth.
[1:55:07] Speaker 2: I got to fight now for eighth.
[1:55:09] Speaker 1: That fucks up your head more.
[1:55:10] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[1:55:10] Speaker 3: We got the A's.
[1:55:12] Speaker 4: We got the A's.
[1:55:13] Speaker 2: And we got to play the Lakers.
[1:55:15] Speaker 4: Got to play the first number one. It was 1-8, right?
[1:55:17] Speaker 3: I believe the Lakers have never lost a playing championship. No,
[1:55:20] Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying.
[1:55:21] Speaker 5: But that's what the Lakers, Lakers been in seven, fighting
[1:55:25] Speaker 5: for seven.
[1:55:26] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:55:26] Speaker 1: And successful. No, it's just a fucking waste of, it's
[1:55:29] Speaker 1: a game that I could be resting.
[1:55:31] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what they was talking about.
[1:55:33] Speaker 9: Um.
[1:55:34] Speaker 3: Tim Hardaway was talking about Miami. Like, we don't want
[1:55:36] Speaker 3: to be in the play-in.
[1:55:37] Speaker 4: We want to have enough time to rest and prepare
[1:55:39] Speaker 4: for the first week of that play-in.
[1:55:40] Speaker 1: They're basically close to a week off, obviously, between that
[1:55:42] Speaker 1: last game on Sunday versus the.
[1:55:44] Speaker 3: Like, Abe Spott, if you want to do a... I
[1:55:47] Speaker 3: don't even think there should be a play-in game. I mean, like...
[1:55:50] Speaker 3: Because it's wasting that rest.
[1:55:51] Speaker 5: No, what I'm saying is, we had 82 games to
[1:55:55] Speaker 5: see who the fuck was one through eight. These motherfuckers
[1:55:58] Speaker 5: been losing all year long. Now you're going to give them.
[1:56:03] Speaker 4: A chance to use one game to.
[1:56:06] Speaker 5: Let me play devil's advocate.
[1:56:09] Speaker 1: You talk about teams that have been losing during the season,
[1:56:10] Speaker 1: but they may have suffered injuries.
[1:56:11] Speaker 5: I don't give a fuck what y'all are.
[1:56:13] Speaker 4: Some people have the same record.
[1:56:17] Speaker 3: Just because you beat these certain teams, you couldn't get in. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[1:56:21] Speaker 4: And like you're saying, like the Jalen Brunson shit, like
[1:56:23] Speaker 4: certain teams that come from 12.
[1:56:25] Speaker 3: To fight back to eight to try.
[1:56:27] Speaker 4: To get in because they had momentum for the last 15,
[1:56:31] Speaker 4: 16 games.
[1:56:32] Speaker 3: They went on the street. They deserve a chance.
[1:56:35] Speaker 1: If they got eight, they got eight.
[1:56:37] Speaker 5: Why are you fighting for seven?
[1:56:39] Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
[1:56:41] Speaker 3: To then get seven for now. Seven, who's been holding
[1:56:44] Speaker 3: seven all year.
[1:56:45] Speaker 4: So is seven always up for the slot? I thought
[1:56:47] Speaker 4: it was just eight. Seven and eight. So seven and
[1:56:50] Speaker 4: eight play for seven. And then nine and ten play
[1:56:53] Speaker 4: for eight. So whoever loses seven and eight.
[1:56:57] Speaker 6: I thought it was just eight.
[1:56:59] Speaker 1: No, there's been.
[1:56:59] Speaker 3: I thought it's always been.
[1:57:00] Speaker 5: There's been years where from seven spot to the tenth spot,
[1:57:06] Speaker 5: that's a big-ass gap. That's not like three, four games.
[1:57:10] Speaker 5: You're talking about 10, 15 games.
[1:57:11] Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, for sure.
[1:57:12] Speaker 5: And there's possibilities where they can lose the eighth, they win,
[1:57:18] Speaker 5: and then they push them out. A 15-gap winning streak
[1:57:23] Speaker 5: or distance margin.
[1:57:24] Speaker 3: Last year, it was like real close, wasn't it?
[1:57:27] Speaker 4: Between all the out-of-box games.
[1:57:30] Speaker 3: It always is.
[1:57:31] Speaker 4: But just how you just explained it, though, if one
[1:57:33] Speaker 4: team can lose, one pushes one team out, And then
[1:57:36] Speaker 4: the whole thing changes as far as matchups and who
[1:57:40] Speaker 4: plays against each other.
[1:57:41] Speaker 3: And then you got to play twice.
[1:57:43] Speaker 5: What I'm saying is something that's better is, all right,
[1:57:46] Speaker 5: eighth spot, right? All right, eighth spot.
[1:57:48] Speaker 1: What we're going to do is we're going to do
[1:57:50] Speaker 1: a tournament between 9, 10, 11, 12, right? We're going
[1:57:52] Speaker 1: to have a little.
[1:57:53] Speaker 5: Bracket between them, and then we're going to.
[1:57:55] Speaker 1: Play, right?
[1:57:57] Speaker 3: Those, if, you know, let's say 8.
[1:57:59] Speaker 5: And 10 win, whatever their matchup is, however you do it,
[1:58:01] Speaker 5: you'll be eight ten nine eleven right so eight nine
[1:58:05] Speaker 5: uh no no ten eleven twelve thirteen right that's how
[1:58:08] Speaker 5: it'll be right so it'll be uh nine and eleven
[1:58:14] Speaker 5: ten and thirteen right let them play winners play each
[1:58:18] Speaker 5: other whoever wins that plays eighth right so that means
[1:58:21] Speaker 5: They played two times before they played at eighth spot,
[1:58:24] Speaker 5: so it's a disadvantage for them because they're a little
[1:58:26] Speaker 5: bit tired, which is the point. But you got more games.
[1:58:29] Speaker 5: You got excitement.
[1:58:30] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:58:31] Speaker 2: It's like AAU. But don't they do that now in
[1:58:34] Speaker 2: the bracket?
[1:58:34] Speaker 3: Four games in college.
[1:58:36] Speaker 1: The last 16 games.
[1:58:37] Speaker 3: Right? You got the, um.
[1:58:39] Speaker 2: They played for that six-team spot? What is the first
[1:58:41] Speaker 2: in the tournament? It's tonight, right?
[1:58:43] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[1:58:43] Speaker 4: What do they call it? The first four, if I'm
[1:58:45] Speaker 4: not mistaken. It's not called play-in. It's called something else.
[1:58:48] Speaker 4: It ain't the play-in, but it's something.
[1:58:49] Speaker 3: But they played for that six-team spot.
[1:58:51] Speaker 4: The winners of the conference tournament played for the play-in slot.
[1:58:56] Speaker 3: It was the first four? What is that called?
[1:58:58] Speaker 5: First four.
[1:58:59] Speaker 3: That's it. Like North Carolina. That's what it's called?
[1:59:01] Speaker 2: That's what it's called.
[1:59:03] Speaker 3: It's the first 48?
[1:59:04] Speaker 4: First four.
[1:59:05] Speaker 3: So 68 teams, right?
[1:59:06] Speaker 1: The first four play in to advance to now get
[1:59:08] Speaker 1: to the national tournament.
[1:59:10] Speaker 4: The thing is called something, not a play-in, though.
[1:59:12] Speaker 1: The Tuesday-Wednesday game. The first four, and then the Tuesday
[1:59:15] Speaker 1: plays Thursday, Wednesday plays the first.
[1:59:16] Speaker 4: Reselection and some shit?
[1:59:17] Speaker 3: I don't know. It's tonight, though. What was it? What
[1:59:20] Speaker 3: do we call it? It is called the first four.
[1:59:22] Speaker 3: The first four?
[1:59:23] Speaker 1: The players called it something else. It's the 16-16 and what,
[1:59:25] Speaker 1: the 12 seeds, right? That's what I don't like. We
[1:59:28] Speaker 1: want to get on... That's a whole other... With the tournament, like.
[1:59:30] Speaker 3: Rashad, you won the tournament, man. You tell me. The tournament...
[1:59:33] Speaker 3: The tournament.
[1:59:34] Speaker 4: Conference tournament winners play for the play-in.
[1:59:37] Speaker 1: So you got the 16 seeds that they'll play, like,
[1:59:39] Speaker 1: so the bottom, like, the last teams to get in...
[1:59:42] Speaker 1: the 16th seed will play to become a 16th seed
[1:59:44] Speaker 1: in the actual tournament. Then you got like the 12th
[1:59:46] Speaker 1: seed that also do it.
[1:59:47] Speaker 4: Yeah, so the 16th seeds are the ones that's playing,
[1:59:49] Speaker 4: like the final four, the last four. So the first
[1:59:51] Speaker 4: four is like, it's two 16s and two 12s, if
[1:59:54] Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken.
[1:59:54] Speaker 1: Okay, so they play for the 16th spot. And then
[1:59:57] Speaker 1: they play for the 12th spot. But those 12 teams
[1:59:58] Speaker 1: would have already actually been in the tournament. So now
[2:00:00] Speaker 1: they've got to, so now your season gets ruined on
[2:00:03] Speaker 1: a Tuesday or Wednesday if you trick that game.
[2:00:05] Speaker 3: I didn't know it was 12 either. We played 12th seed.
[2:00:10] Speaker 1: Yeah, because they put they push some of those conference
[2:00:12] Speaker 1: champions to those lower spots. Yes of you in the
[2:00:14] Speaker 1: janky conference You're generally gonna get that 1560.
[2:00:16] Speaker 4: Yeah, like you're like Asheville, North Carolina Right.

[2:00:22] Speaker 5: It was dinner with it was two Two one year.

[2:00:51] Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? I let the team score, man.
[2:00:53] Speaker 3: Big zero on the first half.
[2:00:55] Speaker 1: Man, 14 points.

[2:01:22] Speaker 3: Oh, that's good. That's nice.
[2:01:23] Speaker 1: So first four, also known as the early eight, 11th
[2:01:27] Speaker 1: seed to 16th seed.
[2:01:28] Speaker 3: So which year was your sophomore year then? 15.
[2:01:32] Speaker 2: Hmm.
[2:01:33] Speaker 5: That's peasant. Then I entered the drill. But I had
[2:01:36] Speaker 5: four All-Americans.

[2:01:38] Speaker 1: You didn't have four All-Americans in your team? Tosh Gibson,
[2:01:40] Speaker 1: Gabe Pruitt, yes.

[2:02:28] Speaker 5: but you wasn't getting to the bacon.
[2:02:31] Speaker 3: You didn't even make the playoffs.
[2:02:32] Speaker 4: You wasn't getting to the bacon.
[2:02:34] Speaker 1: How does it feel to be a loser? It's a
[2:02:36] Speaker 1: scoring loser.
[2:02:36] Speaker 5: Who didn't get to the playoffs?

[2:03:33] Speaker 1: about a topic we don't normally hit at this point
[2:03:36] Speaker 1: in the show, the Lakers. I mean, I feel like
[2:03:40] Speaker 1: we have to. The Caucasian Lakers, the Brownless. Ronnie doing
[2:03:43] Speaker 1: his thing. So Lakers hosted the Spurs last night. in
[2:03:46] Speaker 1: a makeup game from January 11th. It marked LA's fourth
[2:03:49] Speaker 1: game in five nights. So let's take a look at
[2:03:51] Speaker 1: some of the highlights. So Luka Doncic got 21 points,
[2:03:56] Speaker 1: 14 rebounds, and nine assists. Five for 20 from the field,
[2:04:00] Speaker 1: but got to the free throw line 13 times, was
[2:04:03] Speaker 1: 10 of 13 from the line. Austin Reeves led the
[2:04:06] Speaker 1: Lakers in scoring with 30 points on 12 for 21 shooting.
[2:04:09] Speaker 1: Been on a tear with LeBron out of the lineup.
[2:04:12] Speaker 1: More to come on that in just a second. Dorian Finney-Smith,
[2:04:16] Speaker 1: also known in the arena as Black and Miles, Jordan Goodwin,
[2:04:19] Speaker 1: Gabe Vincent, and Dalton Connect also scored in double figures
[2:04:21] Speaker 1: for the Lakers. Bronny James also got in the game late,
[2:04:25] Speaker 1: sunk a very, very pivotal three-pointer. On the other side,
[2:04:29] Speaker 1: rookie Stephon Castle led the Wimbledon Spurs in scoring with
[2:04:32] Speaker 1: 23 points. With the win, the Lakers moved up to
[2:04:34] Speaker 1: the fourth spot in the West, would face the Grizzlies
[2:04:38] Speaker 1: if the playoffs began today. Papá de Limón. Wait, Grizzlies
[2:04:42] Speaker 1: is five? Huh?
[2:04:43] Speaker 3: Grizzlies is five?
[2:04:44] Speaker 1: They are below the Lakers. The four-seeded Los Angeles Lakers
[2:04:49] Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. Backdoor.
[2:04:50] Speaker 2: Ah!
[2:04:51] Speaker 3: That's just terrible defense.
[2:04:54] Speaker 1: Yeah. You can see that coming from a mile away. So, Gil,
[2:04:56] Speaker 1: we were watching.
[2:04:58] Speaker 3: Nuggets-Warriors.
[2:04:59] Speaker 1: That game was mid, so we switched over to Spurs-Lakers.
[2:05:02] Speaker 5: Huh?
[2:05:02] Speaker 3: No, it's not.
[2:05:02] Speaker 1: That's a bop-bop. You can't guard. Look, that's bop-bop.
[2:05:06] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[2:05:07] Speaker 1: Aren't that?
[2:05:07] Speaker 3: El Papa de Limon.
[2:05:08] Speaker 1: You're not stopping.
[2:05:10] Speaker 3: As he's known in multiple circles.
[2:05:12] Speaker 1: He said, and that's a foul.
[2:05:13] Speaker 3: And it's a foul. Just the angle was wrong.
[2:05:15] Speaker 4: That's been the best third option for a long time.
[2:05:17] Speaker 3: It was a foul. Just bad angle. He couldn't take it.
[2:05:19] Speaker 1: If you want to take mine. So, Gil, our resident
[2:05:21] Speaker 1: Lakers fan, how much credit do you give the Lakers
[2:05:23] Speaker 1: for the win with LeBron James still sidelined?
[2:05:25] Speaker 3: That's now two in a row.
[2:05:26] Speaker 1: That's two.
[2:05:27] Speaker 3: Caucasian Lakers.
[2:05:28] Speaker 2: We're 2-3?
[2:05:29] Speaker 3: Or is that 6-6? That's 6 games? So we could
[2:05:34] Speaker 3: possibly be 3-3? They lost four straight, but one of
[2:05:36] Speaker 3: those was with LeBron playing against... Yeah, I'm talking about
[2:05:39] Speaker 3: since then.
[2:05:39] Speaker 5: We had six without LeBron.
[2:05:40] Speaker 3: So we've had a five without LeBron. So we're 2-3.
[2:05:43] Speaker 3: We got one more.
[2:05:44] Speaker 5: I'm good.
[2:05:46] Speaker 4: We had y'all winning one game.
[2:05:48] Speaker 1: Some in the arena said all six. Some said no
[2:05:51] Speaker 1: wins for the Lakers in that six-game and eight-day stretch.
[2:05:55] Speaker 1: What I'm liking.
[2:05:56] Speaker 5: And just as a fan, what I'm liking is this.
[2:06:00] Speaker 5: The shots they're taking or getting are so wide open,
[2:06:05] Speaker 5: it should be scary. Lucas putting so much pressure on
[2:06:13] Speaker 5: defenses that you are forced to double this man. If
[2:06:17] Speaker 5: you're not, he is just going to pick apart the offense. And,
[2:06:21] Speaker 5: you know, when you're talking about wide-open shots, you're talking
[2:06:23] Speaker 5: about wide-open shots for people who can score their own buckets.
[2:06:26] Speaker 5: So Reeves is getting wide-open shots. Blackett Miles is getting
[2:06:29] Speaker 5: wide-open shots. Gabe is getting wide-open shots. I mean, this
[2:06:35] Speaker 5: is amazing, you know, this play. Then you add LeBron.
[2:06:38] Speaker 5: I mean, you're talking about a team who's going to
[2:06:43] Speaker 5: be thriving at the three-point line because you are focused
[2:06:46] Speaker 5: on Luka at all times.
[2:06:48] Speaker 3: You can't just let him play one-on-one at no point.
[2:06:52] Speaker 3: Right now.
[2:06:54] Speaker 1: Hear me out.
[2:06:55] Speaker 3: Right now.
[2:06:55] Speaker 1: I'm hearing you.
[2:06:56] Speaker 3: Do this sound crazy?
[2:06:57] Speaker 5: No.
[2:06:58] Speaker 3: Right now, at this stage, not.
[2:07:02] Speaker 2: Saying overall, is AR a better number two option than
[2:07:07] Speaker 2: Kyrie at this stage right now?
[2:07:09] Speaker 1: You said number two. See, Swaggy, I wasn't going to
[2:07:12] Speaker 1: go that far. I said top number three option in
[2:07:14] Speaker 1: the league. Right now, not overall.
[2:07:16] Speaker 2: Not overall. No, don't think of Kyrie back in the day.
[2:07:19] Speaker 2: Think of Kyrie right now. How much does A.R. average
[2:07:24] Speaker 2: as the number two option without LeBron?
[2:07:25] Speaker 1: So, in the eight games that Austin Reed has played
[2:07:28] Speaker 1: without LeBron James this season.
[2:07:29] Speaker 3: Gil, you're going to want to see... 28.7. 28.6.
[2:07:31] Speaker 4: Like I fucking said.
[2:07:33] Speaker 5: 8.4, 6.8.
[2:07:33] Speaker 2: Like I fucking said.
[2:07:35] Speaker 3: I didn't even know, and I said 28.7.
[2:07:37] Speaker 2: Goddamn.
[2:07:37] Speaker 4: Like I said.
[2:07:38] Speaker 2: And remember when LeBron was out, he had 40. Think
[2:07:41] Speaker 2: about all the buckets he get.
[2:07:42] Speaker 5: Like a 45, 77.
[2:07:43] Speaker 1: I'm not saying he better than Kyrie at all. But
[2:07:45] Speaker 1: I'm saying right now.
[2:07:46] Speaker 3: What are you saying?
[2:07:47] Speaker 4: Kyrie's hurt.
[2:07:49] Speaker 1: So what are you saying?
[2:07:51] Speaker 4: Kyrie's hurt. He tore his... What are you saying?
[2:07:53] Speaker 3: Before he got hurt, what you talking about?
[2:07:54] Speaker 6: The fact that you put AR in the same conversation
[2:07:56] Speaker 6: as Kyrie is just like.
[2:07:57] Speaker 2: No, no, no.
[2:07:58] Speaker 5: He's saying before he got hurt, he's just talking about production.
[2:08:01] Speaker 4: So last year, so last year.
[2:08:02] Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[2:08:03] Speaker 5: Before he got hurt, like the season, but he was
[2:08:06] Speaker 5: the number one.
[2:08:06] Speaker 3: Option, though.
[2:08:07] Speaker 1: I'm about to say, he was the number one option.
[2:08:08] Speaker 3: He was, yeah, he wasn't the number two option.
[2:08:11] Speaker 2: I'm just throwing it out there.
[2:08:13] Speaker 3: Just throwing it out there.
[2:08:14] Speaker 1: Kyrie has the number two option. They went to the
[2:08:16] Speaker 1: finals last year.
[2:08:16] Speaker 3: What are you going to do?
[2:08:18] Speaker 6: I mean, Kyrie has a number two option last year,
[2:08:20] Speaker 6: went to the finals.
[2:08:20] Speaker 3: So I'm going to read you Austin Reeves' last four games.
[2:08:23] Speaker 1: We're not talking about wins here. We're talking about production.
[2:08:26] Speaker 1: So Austin Reeves' last four games. We'll start, work our
[2:08:29] Speaker 1: way back. So against the Bucks, 28-8-3. Against the Nuggets,
[2:08:31] Speaker 1: 37-8-13 assists. Against the Suns, 28-4 rebounds, 6 assists. And
[2:08:34] Speaker 1: then last night against the.
[2:08:36] Speaker 3: Spurs, 30 points, 7 rebounds. Come on.
[2:08:42] Speaker 1: Come on.
[2:08:43] Speaker 2: That's four games.
[2:08:46] Speaker 4: Oh, four games? That's in four games?
[2:08:47] Speaker 1: We talking about four games?
[2:08:49] Speaker 2: You can even do it before Luka. Do it when
[2:08:52] Speaker 2: he scored 40 when LeBron was out. Have you seen
[2:08:54] Speaker 2: Kyrie as the number one? Have you seen Kyrie as
[2:08:56] Speaker 2: the number one option?
[2:08:57] Speaker 5: Okay.
[2:09:00] Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Kyrie. I'm talking about... You put
[2:09:03] Speaker 1: Kyrie in this.
[2:09:04] Speaker 2: You put Kyrie in this.
[2:09:05] Speaker 4: You say, is he a better number two?
[2:09:06] Speaker 1: Right now. Kyrie's hurt.
[2:09:08] Speaker 2: Right now.
[2:09:09] Speaker 4: Of course.
[2:09:09] Speaker 1: Of course.
[2:09:10] Speaker 4: Kyrie's hurt right now. Of course he is. Because Kyrie's
[2:09:12] Speaker 4: hurt right now.
[2:09:14] Speaker 3: Hey, man, you can't be mad at this. The hell?
[2:09:16] Speaker 2: If he adds AI right now, the percentage, let's say
[2:09:19] Speaker 2: he averaged 28 something.
[2:09:20] Speaker 3: We can ask both AI. How he average, 22, 23?
[2:09:23] Speaker 3: What's the question, Nick?
[2:09:24] Speaker 1: I'm saying right now.
[2:09:25] Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. Hold on. What's the question? Tell
[2:09:29] Speaker 4: me the question. We're going to ask AI right now.
[2:09:32] Speaker 3: Right now? I'm going to ask A.I. Tell me the question.
[2:09:35] Speaker 3: What's the question?
[2:09:35] Speaker 2: If you ask A.I.
[2:09:36] Speaker 1: How I just said it, he's a better number two
[2:09:37] Speaker 1: right now.
[2:09:38] Speaker 3: Is he a better.
[2:09:39] Speaker 1: Of course they're going to say it.
[2:09:41] Speaker 3: Is Austin Reeves.
[2:09:42] Speaker 4: Austin Reeves a better number two option right now? In 2025.
[2:09:44] Speaker 3: Can you type Lemon Daddy?
[2:09:45] Speaker 1: 2025 season.
[2:09:46] Speaker 3: In 2025 season. I'm not talking overall.
[2:09:47] Speaker 1: That sounds crazy, but I'm talking about in 2025 season.
[2:09:50] Speaker 2: He's a better number two than Devin Booker right now.
[2:09:58] Speaker 3: Than Kyrie was last year? No, this year. Kyrie's the
[2:10:01] Speaker 3: number one.
[2:10:02] Speaker 2: They started off together, right? How many games did they
[2:10:04] Speaker 2: play together?
[2:10:06] Speaker 3: 20-something? 15, 16. Do it last year. Last year, right?
[2:10:10] Speaker 4: Is Austin Reed a better second option right now than
[2:10:13] Speaker 4: Kyrie Irving was last year?
[2:10:15] Speaker 3: Of course, they're going to make it to the finals
[2:10:18] Speaker 3: last year. I said right now. You didn't say right now.
[2:10:23] Speaker 1: No.
[2:10:24] Speaker 3: They said, yeah, that's last year, of course.
[2:10:26] Speaker 1: I said right now.
[2:10:27] Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
[2:10:28] Speaker 3: Okay. Let me change. Before he got hurt.
[2:10:31] Speaker 1: Let me see. 2025 season before he got hurt.
[2:10:33] Speaker 3: Put a limit, daddy.
[2:10:34] Speaker 6: So we're doing 20 games out of four.
[2:10:38] Speaker 3: You got to say November. This year?
[2:10:41] Speaker 1: You got to say November. No, it can't be this year.
[2:10:43] Speaker 3: January?
[2:10:44] Speaker 5: 2025?
[2:10:44] Speaker 3: You got to say November. No, you got to say November.
[2:10:48] Speaker 5: October, November, December before Luka actually got out because that's
[2:10:52] Speaker 5: the only time he was actually number two.
[2:10:53] Speaker 3: Before Luka's injury. Yeah, before Luka's injury.
[2:10:55] Speaker 1: Okay.
[2:10:56] Speaker 4: Hmm.
[2:10:57] Speaker 3: I mean, points he averaged during that time.
[2:11:00] Speaker 1: I got one.
[2:11:00] Speaker 5: No.
[2:11:01] Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew that.
[2:11:03] Speaker 4: Austin Reeves is not a better second option than Kyrie
[2:11:07] Speaker 4: before Luka's injury. Kyrie was playing at an elite level
[2:11:10] Speaker 4: alongside Luka, averaging 25-5-5. The shot creation, ball handling ability.
[2:11:14] Speaker 3: Did I win?
[2:11:17] Speaker 4: Austin Reeves is a solid secondary playmaker and can score efficiently,
[2:11:20] Speaker 4: but he's not on Kyrie's level in terms... This is
[2:11:23] Speaker 4: AI saying that.
[2:11:24] Speaker 5: He's not saying on the level, but you just proved his...
[2:11:28] Speaker 5: He said 25-5-5 as a second option. He's saying alongside Luka.
[2:11:31] Speaker 3: Yeah, as a second option. He averaged 28. He's alongside
[2:11:34] Speaker 3: Luka now.
[2:11:35] Speaker 1: He's averaging 28.
[2:11:36] Speaker 2: In four games. I thought it was without.
[2:11:44] Speaker 3: No, that's without LeBron. Yeah, that's why I'm saying without LeBron.
[2:11:47] Speaker 4: Because it's only in four games.
[2:11:48] Speaker 1: It was only a couple games.
[2:11:51] Speaker 5: So far.
[2:11:52] Speaker 4: Is he a better second option than Norman Paul?
[2:11:55] Speaker 3: Norman Paul. Norman Paul.
[2:11:58] Speaker 1: I would say because he's younger.
[2:11:59] Speaker 5: That's different because he was technically the number one option.
[2:12:02] Speaker 3: I'm just saying, they.
[2:12:08] Speaker 2: As a third option.
[2:12:08] Speaker 4: I mean, listen.
[2:12:10] Speaker 5: As a third option, he's the best third option.
[2:12:12] Speaker 6: He's averaging 20 right now as a third. Listen, he's
[2:12:14] Speaker 6: averaging 30 right now. I mean, he's averaging 20 right
[2:12:18] Speaker 6: now as a third option. He's averaging 20.
[2:12:20] Speaker 1: No, I'm saying as a third option, he's the best
[2:12:22] Speaker 1: third option.
[2:12:23] Speaker 2: Once LeBron retires, he's still going to be in good hands.
[2:12:25] Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. With him and Luka. Well... Well,
[2:12:29] Speaker 3: Joe said that he's playing, like, all NBA. No, with
[2:12:32] Speaker 3: LeBron out. In the games that LeBron hasn't been in.
[2:12:33] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[2:12:34] Speaker 1: Which I would say those numbers would be worthy of
[2:12:36] Speaker 1: all NBA.
[2:12:37] Speaker 4: What do your numbers have to be to be third,
[2:12:38] Speaker 4: all third NBA? Not this year.
[2:12:41] Speaker 3: Not this year.
[2:12:41] Speaker 4: I know, but what do your numbers.
[2:12:42] Speaker 3: Have to be?
[2:12:43] Speaker 6: Like, they have to average to be third?
[2:12:46] Speaker 5: I don't know.
[2:12:46] Speaker 3: I done seen some weird shit.
[2:12:48] Speaker 1: In all NBA. I said the eight games he's played
[2:12:53] Speaker 1: without LeBron, he's averaging 29, eight assists, seven rebounds. I
[2:12:57] Speaker 1: would say those would be NBA-level numbers in that small
[2:13:00] Speaker 1: sample size of eight games.
[2:13:01] Speaker 4: Is the without LeBron with Luka, though?
[2:13:06] Speaker 3: No, some of them.
[2:13:07] Speaker 4: Just without Luka.
[2:13:09] Speaker 1: So some of them, he was the number one Austin.
[2:13:12] Speaker 4: So Austin and AD been talking to each other, trying
[2:13:15] Speaker 4: to figure out what they could have been getting their
[2:13:17] Speaker 4: little jiggle on.
[2:13:18] Speaker 3: Well, no.
[2:13:19] Speaker 6: Austin could get his jiggle on.
[2:13:22] Speaker 4: No, no, not AD.
[2:13:23] Speaker 2: No, no, not AD.
[2:13:25] Speaker 1: Not Austin. Not AD.
[2:13:26] Speaker 2: Austin.
[2:13:26] Speaker 4: That was the.
[2:13:29] Speaker 4: Austin, not AD, Austin. He was being held back by
[2:13:32] Speaker 4: Lil D-Lo being in front of him.
[2:13:34] Speaker 5: Yes, but he didn't prove that you didn't need Anthony Davis.
[2:13:38] Speaker 5: Anthony Davis was the second option. He's showing you that.
[2:13:42] Speaker 5: He's showing you when LeBron's gone, I can take over,
[2:13:45] Speaker 5: and he's still going to.
[2:13:45] Speaker 4: Be who he is.
[2:13:46] Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
[2:13:47] Speaker 4: He's showing y'all that based on the offense that they have,
[2:13:49] Speaker 4: which is no big offense. It's not going to sustain.
[2:13:52] Speaker 3: He's playing good now. He's not going to keep 30
[2:13:54] Speaker 3: a game up.
[2:13:55] Speaker 1: What?
[2:13:56] Speaker 3: Come on.
[2:13:57] Speaker 2: Shit, I don't know. Shit, I don't know. He played
[2:14:00] Speaker 2: 60 games and he averaged, what, 20?
[2:14:03] Speaker 4: What you mean, still Austin Reeves?
[2:14:05] Speaker 1: As a third option.
[2:14:06] Speaker 6: Austin Reeves, man, you start getting that green light like that, shit,
[2:14:08] Speaker 6: ain't going to be no just Austin Reeves.
[2:14:10] Speaker 5: He's better than I thought he was.
[2:14:11] Speaker 3: Thank you, Gil. I just wanted to hear that.
[2:14:13] Speaker 2: 26 and 5 in 60 games.
[2:14:13] Speaker 3: I didn't think he was that good. I'll be honest.
[2:14:15] Speaker 5: I think Donald Konek is better.
[2:14:21] Speaker 4: You think Dalton is better?
[2:14:22] Speaker 3: I think Dalton is better.
[2:14:23] Speaker 1: 100%.
[2:14:23] Speaker 4: They're the same age. But, you know, you know, Dawson
[2:14:26] Speaker 4: is good.
[2:14:27] Speaker 1: They're the same age. You can't say he's younger. How
[2:14:29] Speaker 1: are you going to.
[2:14:30] Speaker 3: Say he's better?
[2:14:31] Speaker 4: Austin Reed is average. Austin Reed is 26 years old.
[2:14:33] Speaker 4: He's alive right now.
[2:14:34] Speaker 3: Yeah, his usage rate, though, is high as fuck.
[2:14:36] Speaker 5: Who?
[2:14:37] Speaker 3: Austin Reeves.
[2:14:39] Speaker 4: Man, get into it. If you give that young boy
[2:14:42] Speaker 4: don't connect that same usage rate, you ain't talking.
[2:14:44] Speaker 1: I mean, he out there.
[2:14:45] Speaker 4: I mean, but listen.
[2:14:46] Speaker 2: No, no, but my thing is he out there.
[2:14:48] Speaker 3: No, no, no.
[2:14:48] Speaker 2: No, no, but my thing is he's out there.
[2:14:50] Speaker 6: No, but Austin Reeves pulled that last year. No, Austin
[2:14:51] Speaker 6: Reeves pulled that last year. We're not talking that, man.
[2:14:54] Speaker 6: Austin Reeves pulled that last year. That's a bad white boy.
[2:14:57] Speaker 6: I'm not going to front. That's a bad-ass white boy.
[2:15:00] Speaker 1: That's fine.
[2:15:01] Speaker 4: That's fine.
[2:15:02] Speaker 2: That white boy out here.
[2:15:04] Speaker 6: Doing that white boy.
[2:15:06] Speaker 3: That white boy, yeah.
[2:15:08] Speaker 2: That was bad defense, but he made it all fly.
[2:15:11] Speaker 2: What's his name on the pick and roll?
[2:15:13] Speaker 4: Come here.
[2:15:13] Speaker 2: That's a bad white boy.
[2:15:15] Speaker 4: That's the baddest white boy.
[2:15:16] Speaker 5: Austin Reeves knows how to actually get fouled. He's very
[2:15:22] Speaker 5: good at getting fouled.
[2:15:23] Speaker 6: And when he out there on himself, oh, it's my time.
[2:15:26] Speaker 4: That boy's a killer.
[2:15:30] Speaker 3: So we asked the chat. I need me an AR-15 jersey.
[2:15:33] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[2:15:33] Speaker 1: We asked the chat, who's a better number two option
[2:15:36] Speaker 1: to LeBron? Okay, 26% said Lemmy Daddy, 74% said Kyrie.
[2:15:41] Speaker 1: But that's still LeBron. That's still LeBron. They won championship together.
[2:15:43] Speaker 1: But let's talk about last night. After last night's win,
[2:15:46] Speaker 1: Lucas said this. about papadi limo.
[2:15:49] Speaker 10: I mean this guy just scored 30 in his four
[2:15:52] Speaker 10: game in five days that explains everything um but he's
[2:15:56] Speaker 10: an amazing player uh for him to go undrafted is
[2:15:59] Speaker 10: is unbelievable and you know it's not easy to go
[2:16:02] Speaker 10: undrafted and then play at this level and it's amazing
[2:16:07] Speaker 10: just to be by his side.
[2:16:09] Speaker 5: You see, his English already got better, boy. You see
[2:16:13] Speaker 5: that shit? You see the words?

[2:16:26] Speaker 2: You know, when you win, you're like, anything is possible.
[2:16:29] Speaker 4: They think it, they think it.

[2:16:34] Speaker 1: And that's going to be on the next shoot.
[2:16:35] Speaker 2: Whatever you say after they win, it's going to be

[2:17:00] Speaker 4: You got to go low budget to get high budget.
[2:17:03] Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?

[2:17:29] Speaker 2: I'm going to record you.
[2:17:30] Speaker 1: Come here. Get off my property, buddy.
[2:17:31] Speaker 2: I don't care.
[2:17:31] Speaker 3: I've been living here.
[2:17:32] Speaker 4: This is my parking space.
[2:17:33] Speaker 7: That's a neighborhood spot. Get off my property, buddy.
[2:17:44] Speaker 2: I don't care. I've been living here. This is my
[2:17:46] Speaker 2: parking space.
[2:17:46] Speaker 4: Get out of my parking space.
[2:17:47] Speaker 2: I'm not moving.
[2:17:48] Speaker 4: This is mine.
[2:17:48] Speaker 1: You don't live here.
[2:17:49] Speaker 2: I've been living here 20 years. I've never seen you.
[2:17:59] Speaker 4: Tight as a motherfucker.
[2:18:01] Speaker 5: Choke.
[2:18:02] Speaker 4: I got the brown on the back. Let me get
[2:18:04] Speaker 4: the brown on the back. You know somebody? I can
[2:18:07] Speaker 4: coordinate with the brown on the back, baby.
[2:18:10] Speaker 3: Let me get the brown on the back. I always
[2:18:12] Speaker 3: say no.
[2:18:13] Speaker 2: What?
[2:18:14] Speaker 3: Do you know somebody in the neighborhood? Nope. Keep going.
[2:18:17] Speaker 1: Do you live here? Nope. You'd be like, do we
[2:18:22] Speaker 1: have problems? So, Gil, earlier in the season, when I
[2:18:26] Speaker 1: pointed out that Austin Reeves was the best third option
[2:18:28] Speaker 1: in the NBA, you were a little hesitant and reluctant
[2:18:30] Speaker 1: to acknowledge that. We've had some debates here in this arena. So,
[2:18:33] Speaker 1: so far this season, in total, Austin Reeves averaging 20.6 assists,
[2:18:37] Speaker 1: five rebounds in 60 games. As I mentioned previously, the
[2:18:40] Speaker 1: eight games without LeBron, the numbers jumped to 29 points,
[2:18:43] Speaker 1: eight assists, seven rebounds. But I want to know from you,
[2:18:45] Speaker 1: Austin Reeves undrafted. Lakers made a great move bringing him
[2:18:49] Speaker 1: onto the roster. He's proven he took a discount to
[2:18:51] Speaker 1: stay in LA. I think the Spurs offered him more bread. Said, no,
[2:18:54] Speaker 1: I want these Lemon Daddy billboards in Los Angeles where
[2:18:56] Speaker 1: they belong. What is Austin Reeves feeling in the league?
[2:19:02] Speaker 5: I mean, as an individual, it looks like he's holding
[2:19:08] Speaker 5: his own as a, you know, making an all-star game. Like,
[2:19:12] Speaker 5: I mean, he's one of those guys like, you know,
[2:19:14] Speaker 5: Jordan Poole was actually, you know, he got drafted. But
[2:19:17] Speaker 5: that Jordan Poole where someone can make him the number
[2:19:20] Speaker 5: one option.
[2:19:21] Speaker 1: Yeah. Right?
[2:19:23] Speaker 5: There'd probably be a team out there that actually, you know, say,
[2:19:26] Speaker 5: you know, we're going to make you a number one option.
[2:19:29] Speaker 3: You know, that's his ceiling.
[2:19:31] Speaker 5: Right? It all depends on, you know, the luck and,
[2:19:33] Speaker 5: you know, what he wants to do. But the talent
[2:19:36] Speaker 5: is there, the skill is there, the willingness to get
[2:19:39] Speaker 5: better is there.
[2:19:40] Speaker 1: And you think it would translate to another franchise.
[2:19:43] Speaker 3: I think that was kind of the conversation.
[2:19:44] Speaker 1: You come play with the Lakers, play with guys like LeBron, Luka,
[2:19:47] Speaker 1: those type of guys where you're not the primary focus
[2:19:49] Speaker 1: of the defense. You're able to put those numbers up
[2:19:52] Speaker 1: like that. But even without those guys.
[2:19:54] Speaker 3: I mean, he's holding his own.
[2:19:55] Speaker 2: Yeah, because he had 15 games without a star next
[2:20:00] Speaker 2: to him.
[2:20:03] Speaker 3: He's gotten better every year.
[2:20:04] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[2:20:05] Speaker 3: So. Hey, Bridger better. Peyton Pritchard better than Austin Reeves
[2:20:10] Speaker 3: in your estimation, Mr. Larry? Oh, no. But also, I
[2:20:15] Speaker 3: said that Austin Reeves is better than Bradley Beal.
[2:20:20] Speaker 6: He's a better third option than Bradley Beal right now.
[2:20:23] Speaker 4: I mean, well, he has been all year.
[2:20:24] Speaker 3: All year. I got to give Austin Reeves that.
[2:20:27] Speaker 1: What I'm saying is different roles, but Pritchard's different roles.
[2:20:30] Speaker 3: But that's why I said that.
[2:20:32] Speaker 4: I say that based on the talent and the opportunity
[2:20:34] Speaker 4: that Austin Reeves has with the Lakers if Pritchard had
[2:20:38] Speaker 4: the same type of opportunity.
[2:20:39] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[2:20:41] Speaker 4: I mean, he had 40 as a starter, so we
[2:20:42] Speaker 4: see what he can.
[2:20:43] Speaker 3: Do as a starter.
[2:20:44] Speaker 4: It ain't about his size. It ain't about his size.
[2:20:46] Speaker 4: He can get a bucket. He can go get a
[2:20:48] Speaker 4: bucket anytime he want.
[2:20:50] Speaker 1: Him and J.J.
[2:20:50] Speaker 3: Pereira are the same.
[2:20:51] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[2:20:53] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[2:20:54] Speaker 1: I don't know.
[2:20:54] Speaker 3: Who put what?
[2:20:55] Speaker 6: Name the stats again so you can see. He's 26-5,
[2:20:57] Speaker 6: I believe, in basketball. 26 assists, five. But that's usage rate.
[2:21:01] Speaker 6: It's still usage rate.
[2:21:02] Speaker 3: Rebound, six rebounds, five. Six assists, five rebounds.
[2:21:05] Speaker 4: If he's starting... He's passing.
[2:21:06] Speaker 2: He's getting assists, too.
[2:21:07] Speaker 4: He's a player.
[2:21:08] Speaker 3: How tall is he, though?
[2:21:10] Speaker 6: He would have to be like... He just had 40.
[2:21:12] Speaker 6: He just had 40. But he played like that.
[2:21:15] Speaker 1: So Peyton Pritchard averaging 14, four rebounds, 3.4 assists.
[2:21:19] Speaker 3: On what minutes? 28 minutes per game.
[2:21:22] Speaker 2: 28. Yeah.
[2:21:23] Speaker 4: And I'm on a team on a team where he
[2:21:25] Speaker 4: got to do this.
[2:21:26] Speaker 2: So if he's on.
[2:21:29] Speaker 4: A team where they don't got him on your microwave
[2:21:33] Speaker 4: for us, they got him on.
[2:21:35] Speaker 1: Come in here.
[2:21:36] Speaker 4: Just do what you do. Just do it. No, his mind.
[2:21:40] Speaker 2: He's not.
[2:21:40] Speaker 4: I got to score. He's just I'm just going, you know,
[2:21:43] Speaker 4: if I get some shit open, I'll get some shit open.
[2:21:45] Speaker 4: Think about if they tell him, go get it.
[2:21:47] Speaker 1: I think they tell him.
[2:21:48] Speaker 4: White and all of them not touching the ball. Those
[2:21:50] Speaker 4: niggas not touching the ball. No, you're getting 18. Peyton
[2:21:54] Speaker 4: or Jordan Poole. He turns into Lou Williams in them.
[2:21:57] Speaker 4: He turns into you.
[2:21:58] Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
[2:22:00] Speaker 4: Peyton or Jordan Poole.
[2:22:01] Speaker 3: I'm going Peyton.
[2:22:04] Speaker 4: I mean, he's going to have that green light.
[2:22:06] Speaker 1: If he had that green light.
[2:22:08] Speaker 6: I know, that's what I'm saying. How would the Wizards
[2:22:11] Speaker 6: be if you put Peyton instead of Poole there?
[2:22:14] Speaker 5: Two different people, but I'm just saying, Peyton is stable.
[2:22:19] Speaker 3: Yeah, he's systematic.
[2:22:20] Speaker 5: He knows how to play basketball. One just knows how
[2:22:25] Speaker 5: to play. You put him out there, no rules, then
[2:22:28] Speaker 5: you take Jordan Poole.
[2:22:30] Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
[2:22:31] Speaker 5: One knows how to play basketball.
[2:22:33] Speaker 3: You can't say that. Pritchard was a scorer his whole life.
[2:22:35] Speaker 3: He's on the Wizards.
[2:22:36] Speaker 2: That's why there's no structure in basketball. But when Poole
[2:22:38] Speaker 2: was on the Warriors, now he knew how to play basketball.
[2:22:41] Speaker 4: So if Peyton was on that team, it would have been...
[2:22:43] Speaker 4: So what'd they do when he was on the Warriors?
[2:22:45] Speaker 5: He just got to go out there and just shoot
[2:22:47] Speaker 5: and play. The structure was around everybody else.
[2:22:49] Speaker 1: But they both... It didn't look like Wizards. No, because.
[2:22:53] Speaker 3: He knew how to get stuff going.
[2:22:54] Speaker 5: No, it didn't look like Wizards because they don't know
[2:22:56] Speaker 5: how to play basketball. So what it looks like for them,
[2:22:59] Speaker 5: they're like, oh, shit. Even in Warriors, it's like, some
[2:23:02] Speaker 5: of them times, it's like, yo.
[2:23:03] Speaker 1: Hey, come on.
[2:23:04] Speaker 5: Backdoor, pass, move. That was the complaint sometimes.
[2:23:08] Speaker 2: You can't average 20-something next to Steph and not know
[2:23:11] Speaker 2: how to play basketball.
[2:23:12] Speaker 1: No, you can't. Seriously?
[2:23:13] Speaker 4: No, no, you can't.
[2:23:14] Speaker 3: Seriously. There's a whole bunch of people that don't know
[2:23:16] Speaker 3: how to play basketball.
[2:23:17] Speaker 1: Who's done it? That's what I'm saying.
[2:23:18] Speaker 4: You talking about he don't know how to play basketball?
[2:23:21] Speaker 4: We're looking at it right now.
[2:23:22] Speaker 2: Jordan Poole, we're.
[2:23:23] Speaker 4: Looking at it right now. No, he asked the question.
[2:23:25] Speaker 4: He said, what player played with Steph and averaged 20
[2:23:28] Speaker 4: that don't know how to play basketball?
[2:23:29] Speaker 6: Who averaged 20 that played with Steph?
[2:23:31] Speaker 3: Jordan Poole, average 20? Yes, he did, off the bench.
[2:23:33] Speaker 4: Okay, and we see right now, he doesn't know how
[2:23:34] Speaker 4: to play basketball.
[2:23:36] Speaker 2: They have the worst... It's the Wizards.
[2:23:37] Speaker 1: You can't put... I mean, it's the organization.
[2:23:39] Speaker 4: It's either you know how to play basketball... Do you
[2:23:41] Speaker 4: like Kyle Kuzma?
[2:23:42] Speaker 3: Huh? Do you like Kyle Kuzma on the Bucs? Yes.
[2:23:45] Speaker 3: Do you know how to play basketball?
[2:23:46] Speaker 5: Yes.
[2:23:47] Speaker 3: Did he know how to play basketball last year? Yes.
[2:23:49] Speaker 1: No.
[2:23:50] Speaker 4: You see that? You see that?
[2:23:52] Speaker 1: You see that?
[2:23:54] Speaker 4: The last four years with the Wizards, man, hey, man, Kuzma, man,
[2:23:58] Speaker 4: he's going to pop the ball, man. Now he give
[2:24:01] Speaker 4: him the bucks, he know how to play now. That's
[2:24:03] Speaker 4: the difference of what he's saying.
[2:24:06] Speaker 3: That's what he said.
[2:24:07] Speaker 2: You can't, man, as a player like that, you got
[2:24:09] Speaker 2: to know how to play basketball.
[2:24:10] Speaker 3: But Kuzma always been a role player, though. It don't matter.
[2:24:15] Speaker 6: He on the team.
[2:24:18] Speaker 1: So he went back to the Wizards, play my role again.
[2:24:20] Speaker 2: Okay, and they stood here.
[2:24:22] Speaker 3: This is your thing now.
[2:24:23] Speaker 4: Here, you're the guy.
[2:24:24] Speaker 3: Go do your thing.
[2:24:25] Speaker 6: If Peyton was on that team, the Wizards would look different.
[2:24:28] Speaker 4: Middleton wouldn't be winning.
[2:24:31] Speaker 6: If Peyton and Middleton just got over Peyton, yeah, they'll
[2:24:34] Speaker 6: be a better team.
[2:24:36] Speaker 4: Huh?
[2:24:37] Speaker 1: They got smart niggas. I mean, not them, but they
[2:24:40] Speaker 1: got players like that. They still look like the Wizards.
[2:24:42] Speaker 3: They still the Wizards at the end of the day.
[2:24:44] Speaker 5: Either you know how to, like Brunson, when he went
[2:24:47] Speaker 5: to New York, because he knows how to play basketball.
[2:24:51] Speaker 5: He understands basketball.
[2:24:53] Speaker 3: It changed the whole thing? It changes the whole thing.
[2:24:57] Speaker 5: When IT went to Boston, because he knows how to
[2:25:00] Speaker 5: play the game of basketball. He knows how to control
[2:25:04] Speaker 5: the game of basketball. That means he's not going to
[2:25:07] Speaker 5: come down there and take these 55 spin, spin, chuck
[2:25:11] Speaker 5: it up there.
[2:25:12] Speaker 2: He's not playing that game.
[2:25:13] Speaker 5: He's manipulating the game to make sure everybody looks good.
[2:25:18] Speaker 5: I'm not taking, we're not going to do all this
[2:25:20] Speaker 5: rogue type of basketball. It made the team look great.
[2:25:24] Speaker 3: But before IT got.
[2:25:27] Speaker 4: There, though, but before IT got to Boston, he was
[2:25:30] Speaker 4: in Sacramento trying to figure out. Because, because, who was
[2:25:37] Speaker 4: I with? I was with other good players. No, he
[2:25:39] Speaker 4: was with other good players.
[2:25:40] Speaker 1: Who was? IT. In Sacramento?
[2:25:43] Speaker 5: Yes.
[2:25:43] Speaker 2: Who we played with in Sacramento?
[2:25:44] Speaker 4: DeMarcus Cousins.
[2:25:45] Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
[2:25:46] Speaker 4: I think Tyreek was there, too. Tyreek Evans. So then
[2:25:50] Speaker 4: he goes to Boston like Pritchard. I got nobody to
[2:25:53] Speaker 4: refer to now.
[2:25:54] Speaker 2: What do you mean?
[2:25:55] Speaker 3: Nobody.
[2:25:56] Speaker 2: Nobody.
[2:25:56] Speaker 1: Who was on his team?
[2:25:57] Speaker 2: They beat us.
[2:25:58] Speaker 1: Oh, no. What about when he was on Phoenix?
[2:25:59] Speaker 4: He got traded from.
[2:26:05] Speaker 2: But how was he playing?
[2:26:07] Speaker 3: Was he playing a.
[2:26:08] Speaker 2: Wild style basketball?
[2:26:09] Speaker 1: He knew how to play basketball.
[2:26:11] Speaker 2: IT was never one of them. One of the niggas
[2:26:13] Speaker 2: is the most smartest nigga. They got to adjust to you,
[2:26:15] Speaker 2: you be a motherfucker.
[2:26:16] Speaker 1: That's why.
[2:26:17] Speaker 6: No, but what he's saying is IT has never been
[2:26:19] Speaker 6: a basketball player.
[2:26:20] Speaker 1: I'm just out here doing whatever.
[2:26:21] Speaker 4: He's always been in control.
[2:26:23] Speaker 6: He just had to wait his turn.
[2:26:24] Speaker 1: So when it came to Boston, look what happened. Boom.
[2:26:27] Speaker 5: Like Maxie.
[2:26:28] Speaker 4: I know how to play basketball.
[2:26:30] Speaker 5: Like Maxie with a bunch of players knew how to
[2:26:33] Speaker 5: play basketball. When you put him up by himself, he
[2:26:35] Speaker 5: knows how to play basketball. He's not out there playing
[2:26:38] Speaker 5: rogue just for the fuck.
[2:26:39] Speaker 4: But he is.
[2:26:40] Speaker 3: But he is. But he is.
[2:26:42] Speaker 4: Maxie actually was playing like Jordan Poole without Paul George,
[2:26:47] Speaker 4: the NBA. He was out there just playing.
[2:26:50] Speaker 2: He was out there just shooting junk.
[2:26:51] Speaker 5: He was just doing his Maxie shit.
[2:26:53] Speaker 2: He was an all-star.
[2:26:54] Speaker 5: He was out there being Maxie.
[2:26:55] Speaker 3: The average 20-something.
[2:26:56] Speaker 4: He was out there shooting.
[2:26:58] Speaker 2: I've never seen that in my life.
[2:26:59] Speaker 3: It's never happened.
[2:27:00] Speaker 2: He's an all-star.
[2:27:01] Speaker 4: It's never happened.
[2:27:02] Speaker 1: Got rid of Monte Ellis. He was a bucket, right? 20.
[2:27:05] Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
[2:27:07] Speaker 1: And then what happened after the Warriors?
[2:27:10] Speaker 4: You would play with him.
[2:27:11] Speaker 2: Yeah, you played with him.
[2:27:12] Speaker 3: So it looked like he could play.
[2:27:13] Speaker 2: So it looked like he could play.
[2:27:14] Speaker 4: Because he was still playing, right? And then he went
[2:27:16] Speaker 4: to Dallas. He could still play with you. He was
[2:27:18] Speaker 4: in Milwaukee, right?
[2:27:18] Speaker 1: Yeah, sure. So... But was Monte a wild player?
[2:27:23] Speaker 3: Or did Monte get buckets? What you mean a wild player?
[2:27:26] Speaker 4: Like a system player?
[2:27:27] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:27:28] Speaker 3: He was an algorithm. Monte was the algorithm.
[2:27:30] Speaker 2: Okay.
[2:27:31] Speaker 3: That's why it was difficult for him to go to.
[2:27:33] Speaker 4: Somewhere else and not be the guy.
[2:27:34] Speaker 5: Okay.
[2:27:36] Speaker 3: So back to Austin Reeves quickly. We asked the chat,
[2:27:39] Speaker 3: what is Austin Reeves? Reeves' ceiling?
[2:27:40] Speaker 1: We gave them four options. All-star, All-NBA, starter, corner duke. 58%
[2:27:45] Speaker 1: say all-star. 21% say all-NBA. 18% say starter, which he
[2:27:50] Speaker 1: already is. 3% say corner duke. So the chat seems
[2:27:54] Speaker 1: to be of the presence of mind over what 79%
[2:27:56] Speaker 1: think he's an all-star guy. level player at the minimum.
[2:28:00] Speaker 1: But let's move on to Mostly Fans, presented.
