It's part of my take. Besides by far. Welcome to part of my take presented by Chevy Silverado, the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever today is Monday, June 21st. And the process is dead.

R.I.P. R.I.P. We had a good run. We had a good run.

This was going to be the postseason where we judge whether or not processes actually work turns out they don't. Well, it was a legacy game for just baskets being able to shoot. Well, I was at that if you can shoot, you're probably going to win an NBA playoff series. I was going to say I didn't think it would catch up to him, but it finally did.

Ben Simmons just refusing to shoot a basket into a basketball into a basket in a basketball game. It ended up that matters. Well, he ended up not dunking. He's afraid of dunking.

Well, I thought that if he had the opportunity to go up with like a nice solid two-footed, two-handed slam dunk from inside the protected circle, I didn't think he'd be afraid of the basket in those circumstances. Wait, but hold on PFC. Rim protector Trey Young was there. True.

So that was that's a scary thing. Actually, I'd like to now go back on my take that he should try dunking free throws because that would work either. No, nothing works. He he is allergic.

I've never seen anyone just be like, I'm not going to shoot under any circumstances. So we got a lot to talk about, but let's start with some Ben Simmons stats. So we talked about this on Thursday's show, but Ben Simmons now officially finished the last four games of this series without attempting a single field goal in the fourth quarter. That's your point card.

Honestly impressive. That's your point card. He attempted three field goals in the fourth quarters of this entire series, two of them in the first. He did finish perfect three for three.

So there's one nice spins. He because he's now out of the playoffs, Ben Simmons has the lowest free throw percentage in a single playoffs in NBA history. So he beats out Shaq. He was 34.2 percent Shaq's worst season playoff history was 37.4.

So that's that's that's another bad stat. And then finally, I mean, Ben Simmons, I don't do you see afterwards, Doc Rivers was asked, like, can he be a point guard on a championship team? He's like, I don't know the answer. We'll see.

I will see. Yeah, that's not great. It's not great when your head coach is saying that. Like, do you think that you can win an NBA game with Ben Simmons as your point guard?

And MVP candidate Ben Simmons. And I feel really bad for Sixers fans. I know that Hank, we're going to give Hank a chance to just rip them apart, which he will. I honestly feel bad for Ben Simmons.

No, I don't. Imagine making it to this stage in your professional career only to just discover your one glaring weakness, which is you can't score. No, I, no, no, no, no, no. He can't shoot.

He, no, he, he, he can play to shoot. Yeah. No, I don't think he physically can shoot. I think that he is in fact, right handed and Kevin O'Connor has apparently been on this for a while.

No, he's a lot of people think that he's right handed. No, he's not. There's non-dominant. Yes.

Neither hand. He doesn't have a hand that works. No hands work for Ben Simmons. It's shooting.

He, I always thought that saying the Wayne Gretzky, Michael Scott, quote, didn't really make that much sense. He actually proves that you do, in fact, miss 100% of the shots that you don't take. Yeah, like saying Ben Simmons can't shoot is actually wrong because, well, no, it's right in that he, when you say he can't shoot, you're saying he's a bad shooter. He can't shoot and that he mentally cannot make himself shoot.

Do you think he's got that, that disease, the brain thing where you're afraid of holes? Remember when the iPhones came out, everybody pretended to be afraid of the camera. No, that was like the even, no, that's trippedophobia. Trippedophobia.

He might be afraid of holes. He needs to get hit in the eye. So there's three rims. Exactly.

Like LeBron. I, it's that clip of him passing the ball when he was standing under the hoop with Trey on coming over who he's got a foot on was just, it's insane. I don't know how that happens in a basketball game. Hank, the floor is yours.

This quote just came out like a few minutes ago. So you probably didn't see it, but Joel and Bead said, I'll be honest. I thought the turning point was when we, I don't know how to say it is when we had an open shot and we made one free throw. Yes.

So that makes perfect sense. You can't have a Kai out there who does that would be like if we went out there. I know I know obviously Ben Simmons is a great defender, not knocking him there. He had 11 assists like he or 14 or no, sorry, 13 assists.

So he's doing stuff that have an impact on the game. But if you put any of us in an NBA game, we would pass up open looks because we would be afraid of getting blocked. Like we would do the same thing. The only person that's compared like Ray John Rondo early in his career was kind of like that where he just didn't shoot or look for offense, but he also would at least shoot layups and like, you know, if you needed to get a shot, he would get a shot.

Yeah, like go forward. He would probably you should probably consider taking the open layup. Yeah, Joe, no, not look at the hoop when he was like at the at the foul line, but he would still just to keep modest do his weird motion. It's just it's absolutely like I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

And listen, we also need to put some blame on Doc Rivers who like we went through that on Thursday, but he's has not a great history outside of the one championship. And in Bead, look, in Bead is an great, great player and he's the guy who you're going to build around if you're the Sixers, but he was so sloppy. Like he just he just a sloppy guy. He loves falling down.

I think he's eternal. I think his hands might be too big. He's just sloppy. He's just he's all fingers.

He's just doing a lot of poking. And there were yeah, there were a few times where, you know, it was clear that he was going to be the person that was going to provide all the offense. And if you if you make him drive to the hole in the fourth quarter, he's going to like bounce it off his shins every time. Like I think he has a little mental issue too.

It's like they built an entire team out of Chuck Knoblock. He forgot how to throw the ball to first base. Except the only guy who could play is Doc Rivers son or his son-in-law who's out there playing in Seth Curry who actually was playing well, but that's pretty much it. And he was one guarding come harder.

Yeah. Yeah. And we haven't heard her. We got to talk about the hotspot.

We got to I want to say one thing though for the Sixers fans. I actually enough time has passed and hours past since the end of the game. I actually think that if you're the Sixers fan in a weird way, this is for the good. And I know that that makes no sense on face value because you can go through the entire processing point to a million different things that went wrong.

You wish you had Jason Tatum all these things. You know, we wish you kept Jimmy Butler, James Harden. But the end of the day, this was going to happen no matter what. Ben Simmons does not he does not want to shoot basketball.

But they've lost so much value with him. Of course, of course. But it's better you find out in such a spectacular failure than to have to be like a slow like and from a thousand paper cuts where he kind of doesn't show up for series at a time. It's better that it happens in a great big way that's impossible to ignore.

So young, you could go somewhere else and be nasty. But someone will think I think he's still up trade value because someone will think I can fix that. I can make him better because he still has elite levels to his game. It's just the whole point of shooting a basketball into a hoop is the game and he just doesn't want to do that.

He might be the best player in the NBA if there wasn't a basket. Yes. If actually it was keep away. If it was if it was Hoosiers when they're not allowed, no, they didn't get to play with the basketball.

When that scene when they got to practice, they weren't able to practice the basketball. The four corners era. Yeah, Ben Simmons would be lee. I just I think that if you're a Sixers fan in a weird deep down way, I know how terrible this is.

And that was truly horrific the way it all unfolded and the way they lost these games. I really do think there's a silver lining of like this wasn't going to work and now at least it has to change. Yeah. And also if you're a Philadelphia and your your native mindset is always just being pissed off at your sports teams.

Pop it. Super Bowl. This is this is like you're like a duck in water if you're a Philly fan because now you get to call into Ant Big Ant and Angelo and be like, you got to blow the whole thing up again. I'll take my answer off the air.

You know, like this is what you practice for your whole life. Yes. If Philadelphia became an elite sport city, I mean, well, listen about this way after they went to Super Bowl. They they grease up their their light poles.

People climb up and who knows how many lives were saved by Vince Simmons not being able to see the best. True. It's true. Yeah.

If you're a Sixers fan, if you're a Philly fan right now, you pop in the Super Bowl DVD, you think about Chase Sotley and Jimmy Rollins and you just kind of it's actually for the better because this was never going to work. And you hope that you get someone who can make Joe and B not have to turn the ball over in every fourth quarter and fall in the ground because he's the only offense. I do want to give credit to Hawks Kevin herder, Max contracts right now. Sign it.

That was a legacy game for him. And so Trey Young was terrible tonight. We can all agree. I was probably the most fascinating came to watch in that it wasn't a very like great game.

Game seven Nets box was a great game. This game though is so fascinating because you had one guy in Benson and who refused to shoot. And then you had Trey Young who was having a terrible, terrible night and still was like, fuck it. I'm shooting every shot from wherever.

And you know, he ends up like it wasn't a great night for him. He did still make it happen with the assists, but the Hawks in general, no one picked them to go to the Eastern Conference final. They are a great story. They're like, I'm sitting here and I'm still thinking like the Sixers were a better team, but the Hawks deserved to win this series.

They were resilient. Like they came back from those games that they won where it was just horrific for the Sixers and they deserve all the credit and Trey Young's a superstar. And we get to see another couple weeks of Trey Young doing just silencing crowds. The emergence of Trey Young control has been my favorite part of these playoffs with the exception of the Suns and four guy.

But like I love watching people get pissed off at Trey Young because he seems to actually enjoy playing that role of being the heel. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, I'm trying to like I was getting all worked up for net sixers next round.

So I'm trying to figure out ways where I'm going to pretend that I'm actually excited about Hawks box. Kevin Herder, sweet nickname. They call him Red Velvet. That's amazing.

If you're a red headed player, you're either going to have the best name of all time or the worst. It's like the most extremely polarizing thing. If you have a ginger that's good at sports because you either have to like just call him like the Red Mamba like Scalabrini, but Red Velvet is just it's the smooth name. Yeah.

And they just they deserve a ton of credit because I just I didn't expect this. And I was definitely wrong. And Trey Young is having that type of guy on your team who is even if it's not going well for him, he's like one, he's going to help in other ways. But two, he's never going to stop.

He has the exact polar opposite confidence of Benson. He could miss 100 shots in a row and he will still take a three pointer from the logo and be like, this one's going. Yeah, next one. Benson is will pass up a million shots in a row and on the million one, he'll be like, yup, still going to pass it up.

Too scared to shoot. Yeah, we got sweet Lou Will to you. Young Pepper, Lou, John Collins is jumping all over people. I mean, they're a fun team and it's I'll talk myself into it.

And the Hawks crowd's been awesome. Like, yeah, we're going to get into this. It's good. It's good.

It's good. I would like to see the next, but it's good. It's good, guys. Thank you.

Have any last last thoughts for Philadelphia fans out there? I know that you it's kind of been like a tough love situation between have you grown to respect them? Well, yeah, I mean, I think they tried their hardest. It's been, you know, 20 years since they made the Eastern Conference finals.

They were so close this year. And I think eventually they're going to make it to the Eastern Conference finals. I do believe I truly believe, you know, as much as I've said, bad things about Philly, it's only been, you know, my honest opinion. And I do believe eventually they will make it to the Eastern Conference finals.

So that's, you know, just trust the process. Yeah, you can go to bed at night being like, yeah, a few more pieces here and there, different coach. At some point, it's going to happen. A bunch of injuries to other teams and other players.

We can make it. Yeah, I wonder if Bogdanovitch is losing a starter or anything and one of their best bench players. Yeah, but Bogdanovitch is definitely you know what's funny is I always forget Tony Snell is on the Hawks. And if Tony Snell, if like the Hawks play the Suns and it's Tony Snell versus Campaign in the finals, that would be very funny for me, just me personally pretty much.

But the Hawks deserve credit. I want to give, I want to make sure that we stop pause and say that this team deserves a ton of credit because they don't, they just haven't given up like they have been, people pick the Knicks, people pick the Sixers and they just fucking, if they have to win it ugly, they win it ugly, if they have to win it with Trey Young hitting every shot, they win it that way. Bogdanovitch, all those guys Kevin Herder is like, fuck man, the Kevin Herder game happened. That happened.

Kevin Herder game happened. All right, let's talk in that's box. So I was there. It was an awesome game, incredible game.

It was an all time silent arena moments at the end flashing forward. So the Kevin Durant shot to end regulation. That doesn't happen if it wasn't for the turnover right before that. Yeah, like the game was pretty much over at the point.

But it was that I still don't know how they didn't like, I guess they don't want to bring a double with like six seconds, but he, it was so like I've never been in a moment where it's like he's gonna make the shot no matter what. It's just whether it's a three or two. I thought it was a three when he hit it. Yeah, right.

Well, I did not. I never thought it was three, although the, I posted a clip on my Instagram stories, the Jumbo Tron said three pointer. That's tough. Which sucks.

And they brought out the ropes for the front row to like, to like, keep everything off. Yeah. And then I was like, wait, that was definitely a two pointer. But did he actually change into smaller shoes right after that?

No, it was somebody joking about that. I think that was okay. I got it. They pulled the whole room.

But that that end of the game shot, I that one was in all time. We talked about the moments that like the sounds that happen in arenas, the shriek, the stunned silence to have Kevin Durant airball, the three pointer after an unbelievable game where he put the nets on his back and Blake to, but he did everything for them. Everyone looked around like, wait, there wasn't a foul. Like what happened?

What happened? Are that to be blocked? Is this something in the only point three seconds left? There's something's wrong.

Like there's basically everyone's like, no, no, no, this isn't the ending. Turn the, turn the machines back on. That's, you know what that is? That's the Buffalo Wild Wings notification of sports that we're seeing.

Yeah. So like anytime a big team experiences heartbreak like that, you do have that second, because you think maybe we're going to get built at if it's soccer, it's like maybe the AR starts up to different. Right. Like it goes never really a goal until it's like cemented in stone, but on a play like that, just like it ends with the whippers.

Like, okay, what next? Something else has to happen now. We talk about all the time with football when you have a big play and you just sit there on a fourth down and you're like, so the flag's coming? Yeah, you wait for it.

You wait that beat that beat happened in the entire arena and everyone's like, oh, wait, it's over. You wait for the refs to huddle up and then the now she's like, I want to work there talking about it. And then you have another 15 seconds where they're just actually saying, no, there's 0.3 seconds. The game is fully over.

So that was the only third time in game seven history. This was a stat from our friend Kirk Gold's very third time in game seven history, dueling 40 point performances, which is pretty cool. The other times were Paul Pierce versus LeBron 2008 and Sam Jones versus Oscar Robinson 1963, which we obviously remember that game. I weirdly, I think Kevin Durant like gained from this.

Oh, yeah. I mean, the shot at the end of regulation was huge. And just the way this like harden going down, Kyrie going down, the game five, this game, 48 points where he just was so incredible. I think maybe not gained because obviously he doesn't go to the finals and go to the conference finals, but I think people appreciate Kevin Durant more than they ever have watching him play without other players and being as incredible as he had an all time sad face to you after that.

I felt so bad for me. Looked like a puppy. He thought that the machines were broken. Yeah.

He's like, that's not where my shot. I'm telling you, it was the weirdest feeling everyone was looking around like, wait, that's it. Because he tried to do the exact same shot. Right.

Pulled off earlier and you're like, no, I already saw this. The shot goes in. Right. I saw it happen like five minutes ago.

That shot went in the basket. Kevin Durant doesn't airball a shot. That's probably what he was thinking. He was like, Kevin Durant doesn't airball this game.

What are you doing? Yeah. Yeah, it was tough. It was tough to see Blake's performance.

I think he, how many times does Blake dive on the floor during one game? He was awesome. He was the floor. He was grit and grind all night long.

And the Bucks deserve a ton of credit. Giannis, obviously, this is going to be, it might be their best chance to win a title, especially now that it's the Hawks. No offense to the Hawks, but I think people would pick the Bucks over the Hawks. It also was a great lesson in it doesn't, it doesn't matter if you suck as long as you can make some big shots at the end because there was a moment going into the fourth quarter where Drew Holiday was two for 17 and Chris Middleton was four for 16.

And they both, like Drew Holiday had a John Starks game going. He was terrible. He was terrible. He ends up going three for six in his last six field goal attempts and Chris Middleton goes five for 10, his last 10.

And it's like, that's, you can suck for three quarters. And that was kind of the difference is those guys started making some shots and helping Giannis out and that made the difference in the entire game. I also like Coach Bud. Coach Bud has this look on his face all the time.

Like he's got resting scared face. He's just terrified of everything that's happening. He makes good moves. I think, was it a few years ago where we were like lamenting the loss of Joe Pruncy?

Yeah. Because he was an all-time face guy. Yeah. He's like a dad who's coming down to tell the kids that the sleepover to like be quiet.

But he's also a little intimidated by the kids. Like he's like, I'm a big kid. I'm a little bit like they might kick my ass. But he's got the like kind of messy hair, the messy facial hair.

He's barely slept. And he's like, hey, can you guys keep it? You know what? Keep having your fun.

I'll just go back upstairs. Or like a dad that gets called in for like a parent teacher counseling session. And he's not sure what the news is going to be. But he does know that his son very much did not want him to go to this meeting.

He's just tired. He's just tired. He's tired. And he's scared.

He just looks terrified all the time. But I love coach buds. I like the bucks. I like their fans.

That's the only thing about Trey Young is like, I don't know if Trey Young can muster up hatred towards the city of Milwaukee. They seem to be kind of like the sons of the East. I think Trey Young can do that. I think that's what makes Trey Young special.

I think he mustered up for anyone. Like they don't say he can play the respect card. Every single person is going to muster up respect for just everybody in the media. I feel like we're overdue for him to be like, no one said that we could be.

They all said that we were going to lose the first round, which is true. Yeah. I think yeah, we definitely said that. So he'll just play like us versus the world card right now.

Yeah. The from the like just a storyline perspective. It also is great. Like the net's losing them coming back next year.

They'll probably bring everyone back. They'll be a super team, but it does feel like they have to earn it a little bit. James Harden could also get really fat this offseason because with hamstring, he's going to have to give that rest for probably like a month, a month and a half. That first half, I forget how much it sucks to watch James Harden play basketball when he's just looking to get fouled and he's not looking to like do anything book if I outfiled.

I actually it was. They got to get a little bit more Brooklyn with their game. I think my rapport was right. Yeah.

How do we add like an element of Brooklyn this to the Brooklyn Nets? True. I had a like one of those moments post-COVID where you realize how much you miss the little things. I walking out of the arena, I just was talking about like James Harden fouls and I got into like a spirited debate with a complete stranger about whether it's James Harden's fault for trying to flop or if it's the rest fault for allowing that and like letting him do it and then giving him free throws all the time.

And it was great. It was like, man, this was fun. Like we were you know when you like accidentally hit the same pace as a stranger walking on the street? You're like, we're just walking together for a couple blocks here.

That's a major dude's rock situation. Yeah. And I was just like, you know what? That was cool.

All right. See, have we had to take yet the James Harden gets injured because he jumps into fouls? Like he jumps at weird angles? Yeah.

I see right now, but what I see right now is a very injured James Harden. It was, I don't know. I mean, it's it's weird having both the nets in the Sixers when everyone thought it was going to be like a collision course. Yeah.

To have that be output. Hey, Hawks and Fox, we're going to fucking enjoy the hell out of David Stern. We'd never let this happen ever, ever, ever. Adam Silver was definitely like, what's the name of our mayor here in New York City?

De Blasio. No, Warren Wilhelm, right? De Blasio. He definitely was looked like De Blasio sitting at home with his nets jersey and nets hat on game seven.

Yeah. Like let's go boys. We got this. I wanted like to get a chip.

I did too. But you know what? I just want to see Dax. Hopefully he stays hopefully stays.

Hopefully, you know, we're going to get him on this summer. Hopefully he stays. Hopefully he gets the chip. Like I said, he they're earning it now.

Yeah. They're full of it again. Yes. Yes.

And yeah, especially Blake here. Big Blah. Whoa. Season.

It comes back for two days and you start mumbling your words. Also, this was a curse of Lucky leprechaun. Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

Yeah. You could say that the Celtics beat the nets. How close do you think Kyrie was to coming back and playing probably like 95% and he just like, I don't want to. Yeah, definitely.

Cut it off. He's probably waiting for the conference. I'd see that up for you. OK.

Actually, it was Reggie Miller, right? Yeah. If they had rested Kevin Durant and James Harden, do we as a nation, Reggie Miller, and Apologies? Yeah, Reggie.

Yeah, and sorry. Kevin Durant ran out of gas for the overtime, which he absolutely showed because he played every minute and he put the team on his back. But yeah, he could have used a couple extra minutes of rest. A couple days.

Yeah, kind of rest. All right. Our sons are wagon. No Chris Paul, no co-i.

So I think that evens it out. Devin Booker was insane. He scored what he had 11 points going into half time, I think ended with 40. Also, the Clippers game sex on Friday night was one of the craziest swings in this whole scene.

Yeah. Yes. It was crazy. And then after the game, they were interviewing man, because it was the Terrence Mangame, right?

It was the Terrence Mangame. They were interviewing him and Paul George at the same time. Paul George was one of the best spin zones that I've ever seen. He was like, you know, I always knew that Terrence had this in him, because I look at him.

I'm like, you know what? He reminds me a lot of me. Paul George's is like a Hall of Fame. Don't let him answer a question for too long.

Like if he gets to more than 30 seconds, he's going to say something not terrible, just ridiculous. No, that was, I loved it. Because I could see the wheels turning inside. It's like, yeah, protect that ego.

I think that's how playoff P happened. I think he was just answering a question. He got too far down the road. And he was like, yeah, they call me playoff P.

And then Ballmer's pumped to be there. Ballmer is the living definition of the word pumped. Yes. He's just pumped all day, every day.

What's up? If I was a billionaire like Steve Ballmer and the coach wasn't wearing a mask, I feel like I just wanted to wear a mask either. I own the team. I want to sit in court side.

I get to feel like he's wearing the shat. He's like most uncomfortable mask. Here's my thing. I think he's got some sort of immune issue.

Maybe not him, but maybe somebody close him. Because he's the only person that's wearing a fake mask. I also think that when you get to a certain level of richness, you are like, my life is so sweet. I don't want to die.

Any circumstance. If I were his level of rich, I'd probably wear a mask all the time. I'd be like, you know what? Even a common cold.

This life I got right now is so fucking sweet. I'm not giving it up for any. He also probably a billionaire walks into a room with the unwashed masses. He's like, I don't know what these pours have.

Right, exactly. He's got to all the future medicine I do. He's got to make sure he keeps cleaning. It is a very uncomfortable mask.

His hug of Paul George was very funny, though. He was just. It's been a very funny hug playoff. Steve Nash and Kevin Durant after Game Five was awesome.

Yes, just sweating through his shirt. He wakes up sweating. He makes Chris Berman look like the driest man in America. Yeah, I think the shower just never takes her.

No, shout out White Sox, Dave. So yeah, the sun's, Devin Booker game. It was a Devin Booker game. I'm saying it's a Sunset Four.

Sunset Four. Devin Booker game. Although, sun spans, we got a, I saw there was a new fight video. Let's not make this a thing.

This one looked a little less chill. Yeah, this one wasn't, we saw the full video. I'm like, you were a half second away from a curb, son. Yeah, it was bad.

It was bad. The sun's in four original video. If you watched the whole video, the sun's in four guy had a full beer poured on his head, which shout out the guy who got beat up, who did post interview. I actually respect, I've swung.

I now like that guy because to get beat up, go viral. And then be like, you know what, I want my name and face more out there. That takes a level of lack of self-awareness that everyone should aspire to have. No, this guy just likes having his name on the internet.

He likes opening up an app like Twitter and seeing his own face on it. To him, that's fame. For anything you can do to stick around with him. He should actually try to fight something for a guy, a rough around.

We would do it. We'd put on that fight for sure. I liked how he was saying that I just got scratched on my nose. I never actually got punched on it.

Yeah, you can see it. Like, I have a black eye. I don't have a black eye. Give me another week.

I'm going to think he actually won the fight. Yes, yes. But yeah, the sun's there wagging. Do we need to ask though, like, whose man is that team?

Is it Chris Paul's team or is it Devin Booker's team? I think who's Batman, who's Robin? I think they have the perfect age disparity where Chris Paul's old enough where he's just like, yeah, like step on him or one young guy. Who's Batman and who's Catwoman not going to pussy eat?

I think that was Batman. I eat. Yeah. But he also like probably defers Chris Paul.

I think it's like an old dog. Yeah. Old Dog Young Dog thing where it's like the old dog knows all the tricks. But sometimes you need the young dog to go run down that tennis ball.

Like, it's just that's just the reality of it. So Devin Booker is needed very much so to be that guy who can carry the team. What's going on? The young dog also keeps the old dog alive for longer with the exception of champion major RIP.

But that's why a lot of people get a younger dog. Yeah. Because it keeps the older one active. So we're good for both of them.

Yeah. So 40 point triple double for Devin Booker in same game, in same game. Like I said, he had 11 points going into halftime. And then he just went off.

And playoff, playoff has been playing really well. But not enough for Devin Booker. He's playoff OK. No.

Yeah, I mean, he definitely deserves all the credit for that Utah Jazz series because Kawhi got hurt. And that was it. When is Chris Paul coming back? We don't know.

OK. So does he actually have the cocoa? I don't know. Or is he like in advanced protocol stages?

Because he was exposed. Well, no, he's got the vaccine. So he wouldn't have to be in. I think he's got cocoa.

I think he does too. I hope he's OK. If LeBron had it, he would have it. Or entertaining, but it's symptom free.

Symptom free. OK. Devin Booker's got this. Have you seen the cars that Devin Booker drives into the arena every day?

It's fucking awesome. Is it one of those spiders, one of those? Well, he's a different one every time. That's cool.

And they're all old souped up catalax. He's got to be tough for Benson, too. Like that's his ex-girlfriend's an outdating Booker. And Booker actually knows how to shoot a basketball into a hoop.

Right. He can find a hole. That one's that's the part that really kills. That's an upgrade.

What is Benson? What do you do? What do you do? Someone I saw is on Twitter.

Mark L. Foltz also couldn't shoot in Philadelphia. True. Yeah, true.

He just got a change of senior. I think he shoot in Orlando. He learned how to shoot. He's better.

But I remember when he was on it. Yeah, he is a little more fixed. So what about a hit in this? That's what I would go for if I was a Sixers.

Just like get them in in Black thing and erase their entire memory, this entire playoff series. You know what the problem is? I actually am now talking myself into like I kind of want to Benson on the Bulls. Just because he's 6'10, he's a great defense.

And like oh my god, the skills that he has. If he could ever learn. I think he's going to be getting paid a lot of money and beyond like four or five teams and every team's going to be like if we can teach him how to shoot, he could be one of the best players in the NBA. How old is he right now?

25. You can learn how to shoot. He's called her and how to shoot. He's on round and learned how to shoot.

He knows everything else. Yeah. He's got to keep stressing. Yes, it's very important.

I think more important than the shooting is the mental aspect of I don't want to shoot. I think he just doesn't like shooting. Right. Oh man.

Alright, hockey talk real quick. Golden Knights tied up the series with the Canadians which actually kind of sucks. The Canadians were up until late I think in the third period. They blew that one.

They got their own goal. The flurry. Oh, they did? He was trying to clear the puck behind the net and it like kicked out and they just scored it.

That was like 30 seconds. That was the last game tonight. They won an overtime. They just wanted an overtime.

They bent the flurry today. Which is something that no one really saw coming until what happened and what's been happening with the playoffs with him. He was like, I'm not going to stand on your head. He's had like a real state.

It might be a thing where they could come back beat the Canadians and then flourish back in that next series. And then the Islanders game was incredible. That ending I made a point of going home and watching after I left the Nets game and it was like, I saw everyone tweeting about it. I'm like, nah, I can't be this good.

And then I watched like how the fuck did this happen? So that was incredible. And shout out all the people who when I was like, when game seven is going on and it was incredible and everyone's talking about it and I was like, this game is awesome. Shout the guys who replied and you're like, you're talking about hockey, right?

Hockey games better. Just always a competition. I love that. I appreciate that.

I'm not going to be fresh for everyone. But that Islanders game was awesome. And we might go to the Collion game six, maybe last game ever, right? Yeah.

Should we go barn, close the barn down, get loud in that place. But I know there's just really good. The caveat but I know situation you can I have a little butter knife our way in there just P before you go because there's like two bathrooms in the entire arena. You have to walk all the way around in the conference.

They I assume that we might just have to dip up for it boys. Trash cans work. I didn't break the seal on Saturday night until like the third quarter. I've never been more proud of myself.

That's still got it. It's still got a situation. So they I don't know if they still make it. I mentioned like 10, 15 years ago called the stadium bell and what it was.

It was essentially just like a condom that you put on the tip of your pee pee. And then it had like a tube that ran through a bag on your side. So you could go to a game just piss on yourself all day. Yeah, we should do that.

We should do that. We should dip up in the stadium. Absolutely. All right.

Should we talk to us open? I'm happy that we can talk to you as open because there was a moment on Sunday afternoon where if I were allowed to tweet such things I would tweet I would have tweeted if Bryce and DeShambo wins this US open I'm going to kill myself. I didn't tweet it because you're not allowed to tweet it. They would have been my account.

But I was thinking it at that moment. And I was like, oh my god, he sucks because so it was he was minus five through eight with the solo lead. And then he finished ended up finishing type of 26. Yeah.

I mean, we call him a lot of stuff on the show. We've called him a steroid user, a cheater, a dork, a loser, a nerd. What else have we called him? Snowman.

Snowman. We call him a lasso. But we've never called him a quitter until today and he quit when his giant cleats didn't save him. What was the 13th hole on that drive that he had his foot slipped out from under him on his left foot.

At that point, Bryce was like, I don't want to be out here anymore. And he quit. He is a mentally weak golfer. Yeah.

Because he's like having heart attacks because somebody's calling him by the wrong name. Right. But this was this was even noteworthy for Bryson to show his lack of mental toughness. Shout out to guy who after Bryson sculled one over the green was like, show you as a calculator on that one.

That's a funny term. John Rahm, though, was there was a moment like, I don't know, maybe like five o'clock, six o'clock at night on Sunday where it felt like everyone wanted to lose the US open. No one wanted to win it. People were just imploding left and right.

But John Rahm finishes with two insane pots. He also he was the guy who I think if you talk to anyone at golf, he's like, oh yeah, who's the best golfer who hasn't broken through. It's John Rahm. Yeah.

He ended up not, you know, had to pull out when he's got four stroke week going into Sunday. And I love his look. He's got, you know, every golfer either looks like an emaciated back boy or like they just got stung by bees. He looks like he's having the allergic reaction to the be like, he's just a swollen person.

He just has a nice pouch. He has a nice like strength that comes from his belly. Yep. That you just know he's going to be able to last a huge four days of golf.

Big face to him. Big head. He's a big John Rahm. He's big John Rahm.

He's like six to six big John Rahm. Actually, we saw him at Shinnecock driving in a little mini sports car and I was like, damn, that guy's too big for this. Life has an absolute cannon. I don't know if you've seen the clips of like he went to some training camp.

Some NFL team like invited him out. I don't know what team was like, hey, we should get John Rahm out here. Did you catch a couple balls? His wife throws like a 35 yard spiral on a dime.

Yeah. I didn't see that. They also got engaged at Torrey Pines. Or maybe Mary gets Torrey Pines.

Oh, really? So very, is that home track? So I had the, if you never listen to golf on the radio, it's very fun. So I listen, because I was, I was driving into work.

I don't know. He was like around like a whole 13 or 14. So I put it on the radio. Interesting experience.

The only thing I really picked up from it. So Louis, Louis, who's names? Lewis, who says? Yeah.

Do you know his name? It's not Louis, who's stays? No, his name is Loto, Wiccus theodorus, who stays? That's so sick.
