Speaking of leaders, let's talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers who at some point, man, I'm going to have to maybe come aboard, but the Cleveland Cavaliers right now are coming off an impressive win over the Celtics. It's right Boston, while the OKC Thunder have won five of their last six games and remain locked into the number one seat in the West of Conference. Are we headed for Cavaliers versus Thunder NBA Finals? And which team is the least likely to make the Conference Finals or the NBA Finals?
Hey, man, NBA hopes you. NBA hopes you won. They do a little loop. You just don't know how bad it goes.
If you had asked me this Thursday night, I would have told you, no. But watching them Friday, when the ball single, like 22, it was not crazy. It was 22. And it was in the Dacia and Dacia and Dacia and Dacia and Dacia talking all that trash and he did his words like that.
That was just, that was wild. That was wild. This cast. We got to get what happens to the Dacia and Dacia and Dacia marketing brand new.
I don't know what happened to it. This dude, he's supposed to be the face of the NBA. If we were really talking about it, he's really supposed to be any American born and all that. It's like, great, man.
They treated me like Rick. That's what I get. I got to drag his mind. That's a good one.
That's a good one. That's exactly it. And I'm talking about everybody's making, you know, you can't win for losing right now. I don't care how well this team is playing.
He's got everything except for MVP that you would want out of a bag right now. He's a model citizen for the Celtics. You'll hear no trouble. He got a baddie on his arm with Eli May.
What else could you really want from a basketball player? But no, it was bad. His mom, and he's everything that you wanted to play. He's prototypical science.
He can score. He is what you want. You can't ask for no one cares. For some reason, they're not feeling it.
But like I said, watching this casting, I really like the way they play basketball. Both ends of the floor. I love the fact that they have the two twin towers down low. They're making things happen for me anyway.
I like watching that because I've been a fan of that for a while, even since back in the day, with Ralph's absent and a team. These guys, they're not on that level. It's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying I like seeing two tall guys on the floor that both can play together and play off each other.
That's what they're doing well. You got Demetri and Squar, Garland is playing much better than he has in the past. This team looks like they're ready. And we know what the Thunder is doing.
The Thunder we didn't even talk about them. The number was who right now? They look better than anybody else to me. Underrated move.
Mike Gancy, the GM of the Cleveland Cavs, they didn't talk about this with the Andre Hunter. This is what I said about the Andre Hunter when he was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks. They drafted him to be the second maybe third best player. Realistically, he's your best on a good night, your third best player, but realistically fourth, fifth, sixth best player.
And that's what he is on the Cavs. That's what makes them dangerous. Because everybody on the Cavs right now is playing in position. They're not going to do that.
right now is playing in position. The number one option is DMIC. The number two option is Darius Garland. You got two big men that are both defensive focus, but one can hit a mid-range shot.
And at some point should be able to extend out to a three-point shot. I love Chris Boston. I mean, when I watch him play, I can't think of his name right now. I'm drawing a blank on the yogurt.
The lefty, Mobley. That Mobley. He reminds me of a young Chris Bosch. And I feel that, you know, as time continues, he'll get better and better and better.
But this team, the way that they're constructed and Kenny Akkis and got them boys playing ball, they have a playing efficiently. They have a believing. And that's the reason why last week I was talking about, Boston is still the favorite because you can't disrespect the champs, they just won it. You know what I say?
But at the end of the day, the way that the Cleveland Cavs are built, and again, I do like their coach, I like their front office, I like what they are doing, they learn from their years with LeBron. We gotta spend some money. We gotta make the right moves and we gotta open up the checkbook. And I agree with you, Shudster, anything we gotta say about OKC, Sam Pressy has done the damn thing.
The only thing I could question about Sam Pressy is, has he hired the right coach? That's the only thing. When we're talking about personnel, we're talking about talent on the roster, we're talking about the moves. And then think about this, he's future proof, right?
They're not gonna be able to draft all those guys that they have slated for with draft picks, but now you could go make a KB move in the off season. You could go get Yannick, you could go get whatever it is that they don't win. And the second part of your question was, who do we expect to make the finals? I like these two teams.
Least likely or most likely? Least, I would say is the Cavs. Least likely. Yeah, because they gotta go through Boston.
OKC, hey, hey, if it ain't this year, I guarantee you it's next year. I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say this. So who's the thunder's head coach name?
First and last name? That's what I thought. All this is going to be off of the SGA. Nobody knows what I'm saying about the other head coach.
Neither does people. Yeah. Oh, why is the first time I ever, in the last five years, is somebody brought up the thunder's head coach? He'll give a damn like that.
Marky. You just said to make a championship run that the coaches matter. And the only thing I said was the only question Mark about Sam Presley is him hiring these head coaches. And his name is Mark.
I can say Marky. Marky. Marky. If people are new, before you're absolutely right, I say that about championship teams or content in teams.
I don't look at OKC as that. That's why I don't even get what they were about today. But why are you being disrespectful? Because if you take actually a J off this team show, who else they got?
That you say. Straight up. You're still in my team. You're talking about the number one.
Bird man's brother. That's a bird man's brother on the show. He's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, they know they're rolls in, yeah, I'll be casey. That's the biggest thing for me.
Y'all must be selling drugs all y'all spare time. Because I'll be gas and all these things. I'm like, where is that? OK, see, but we want to see FIFA.
Do you want to see Cleveland in the Thunder in the finals? I want to see the best one. And if they make it through the game, that's a that's a show, that's not a show. No, you're not going into like six, seven game series with the fucking Thunder and the Cales.
I don't like it. Boston because it's a better storyline. And I think that they have an opportunity to become the next dynasty in the league. However, Cleveland is real.
And if they beat Boston, I think that they could be anybody coming out the West. That's fine. That's what my question is to be more serious. I'm cool with seeing it.
That's not my preference, but I'm cool with it. Yes, I am. I'm the basketball peerist of the crew. And that's why I asked you, even though you were asking about who these could be possibly the two best teams.
Nobody want to see Oklahoma's team. Cleveland? I'm cool with seeing Cleveland. I wouldn't want to see him one or the other, not both.
So this is the reason why I be so disrespectful to your comments, especially in my group chat in terms of basketball. Because if you watch the Metron Darius Garland, Darius Garland has become, over the last three years, I think he's arguably the most shiftiest player in the league. And now he has, I think last year when Demons got to the squad, they had to figure it out. And at times, it was clunky.
This year, they are arguably the best back court tandem in the league. Like it's almost impossible to guard these guys. That's a little. I do a group.
I do a group. I still feel like that. But from the offensive perspective, it's tough. And this is why I love the Boston comparison.
Because what Cleveland brings offensively in the back court is what Boston has defensively in the back court, with a white and Drew Holiday. So it's the perfect matchup. So I put it to you like this. I think that if it's Cleveland Boston in the Eastern Conference, that's going to be one of the best series we've seen.
Yeah, off the back of Donavon Mitchell. But as far as the answer to the question, the least between these two, I'm going to say OKC. I think Cleveland will make it up. I don't want to see OKC.
No, no, no, I'm saying like I think Cleveland would make it to the finals over. OKC. Why is that? Because they got the big call?
No, because Donavon Mitchell is that good. He changed it. He changed it. We don't give flowers to people.
He changed his whole franchise around. They haven't won this many games post LeBron era. You know what I'm saying? And he is the de facto leader of the team.
And he's brought hope. He turned Evan Mobley into a household name at this point. Because everybody was thinking he would maybe be a little bit overrated. Yeah, his presence alone has brought the shine to Evan Mobley.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm just saying between these two, who make the finals run. I trust the Cavs, why I'm more than I trust OKC. But I agree with you, Boston is still the team to beat. That's the only reason I'm saying OKC.
I would say Cleveland, because they've got to go through Boston. That's the only reason I said it. I mean, they go to New York too, it's multiple wins. I just don't think OKC has enough fire power as much people think.
I think pro TVlogic is great. But he's just one man that you can count on to get a bucket. I don't trust nobody else on that team to get a bucket. Nah, no.
SKA or D unit. Who, he already no, not even historically. The only person I'm the only person I put about But daddy much right now is bruh That's right That's jh just have 81 bro He did, he's like this boy. That's fine.
I see bruh, I see bruh, bruh, I see bruh put up 4050 in the playoffs. I ain't seen SGA do none of that. He got, he lost to a fat white boy. That's how I see him.
Okay, see guys. They got some guys that can score. We trust, we trust now. Oh, yeah.
On that team, can we get a buck? Uh, J Williams, he's there. Bro man, he legit bro. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
It's consistent. I'm not saying he trash. I'm not saying none of that. Don't you trust?
I said I said I can bring it up. Because what I'm going to do I keep saying show. Yeah. Pat is integral if cat doesn't ball they don't have a chance regardless of what Brumbrum does in the playoffs.
Yeah. Cat is going to do cat. He's going to get 20 in 10 at least. And he has to do and that's the reason why the boys will be home soon.
First maybe second round we got Mitchell Robinson back. You know what I'm saying. Up until tonight. You know what I'm going to do for us tonight.
You're like tonight. You're going to be a boss. In a series we coming off of a three game industry. We came we was we was down by.
We was down by twenty some with the heat and came back. They still clearly tired from that matchup and we don't have cat cat was out today for personal reasons. I don't know what I think I saw Jordan Woods. I saw Jordan Robinson who.
I mean I was a waggab is Robinson back. We can't we can't just go around pieces. That's all right. That's all good.
You got to take it. You got to take it.
