if that that that and it's not a good old time to get a good as well, everybody to get us to an end We are not gonna wait any longer. We're gonna go ahead and get into it This is the place where sports beings to lie down in sports. I'm yours gonna be enjoying me. We got spot.

What up, though? We got shelter was ending FIFA will be here. So, you know, he's on the way But you know, it's playoffs We got Nick with us. What's going on?

Chilling Chilling Chilling Chilling Get the second seed you think Nick not gonna be here Fly down. I think Sunday day Sunday night. I was in the game today. Look, I'm gonna show I never came down the host Yep, so yeah, man We're gonna definitely talk about the play in games and really in all honestly, of course the playing games determined the matchup So we're gonna be sort of guessing depending on how far we go in this but yeah, we are a little bit early today, but you know You're only sometimes to We got to talk about the play in 20 the WNBA draft reaction, which is a first And That's about it.

Yeah, and some other stuff. So without further ado, let's go ahead man with the WNBA Yeah, that was last night show of hands who all watched it In and out it's the most I've ever watched any WNBA draft which I didn't watch a lot of it, but in enough First one yeah watching watch all day I Ain't she changed bros the same. Oh shit. They've been hyping all sees along Yeah, I keep on saying like it needs to be a longevity conversation We can always I mean it was hot right now, but shit Right, so What she play with what she put on the WNBA with Jersey is gonna be like the visibility They are professional who prison I can play this for Y'all will be proven wrong.

It's gonna be a lot more interesting a lot more coverage this season for the WNBA I think so too. I think this season. Yeah, but you say you saw that pace scale breakdown No one over up. She went to the big three.

I saw that shit, bro. I was like It's like a little over 300k for four years of like she's making like 75 to 78 a year. Mm-hmm That's full-arm management But she'll make you know she'll make a Well, she's not she will endorse missing other money. She's gonna make the Jersey is already sold out I Expect them to play women's basketball play so okay I'm gonna pay is the page is is equal to what the support has been as far.

Okay, so what's in paid is Right, that's right. That's actually good. That's a decent job. It is a decent job And like I said in her case, you know, they're handling probably which I'm sure they will she's gonna make a No, she's gonna make a ton of care.

You know, she's gonna help that conversation with a women make what Bill Bursay the best though when you talk about a WNBA, he was like, you know, yeah, you're arguing about equal pay You need to go support it equally go support it. You know, I agree with that I'm like if you want it go go watch it. All right. Well, the person we're talking about obviously is taking Clark and she wins shit But to know what surprise she was the number one overall pick by Indiana, so she right at home, bro I She gonna make a killing and of course, you know all the jerseys sold out she'll think I like three of them.

No, no, so I mean We all knew she was gonna be the number one pick it was pretty obvious But what she worth being the number one pick that's the question absolutely 100% and the reason being is You know, not only is she the most electrifying player in this draft the amount of money and attention she brought to that city in the You know, take it probably look at it for the miss it's a no-brainer You know, I'm saying everybody's eyes are on her and what she's gonna do and so she deserved that pick regardless even though She you know, her play dessert, you know, prove that she deserved it on the court She was the best women's player in college basketball this year and it's gonna, you know, it'll prove Money for them this year going forward. So Indiana is set up quite nicely Had to go to one pick two years in a row a little Boston is a dominant inside presence You had the outside of Caitlin Clark with the assistant she can make she passed the ball like crazy as well as shoot So that's a good pick up for this team. This team is set for the future Her and Boston go be able to play it. Absolutely.

Yeah, absolutely because the Boston is an interior dominant player She's one of the most dominant post players in the game in like I said Caitlin Clark, you know in college She got you nine ten assists a game. So, you know, that's 20 points. Yeah, I think it was it was the best decision about Iowa Indiana like what's the difference in between the two if she could blow Iowa basketball up in college I know she can do the same thing for Indiana in the pros like you mentioned She saw the jerseys out in the first whatever couple of minutes hours or whatever it was I think that this will be Throughout the season something to pay attention to it people continue to watch to tune in if they're big games If there's a rival that she can have in the W NBA when you're gonna look at Caitlin Clark and say I want to see her play against Vegas I want to see her play against the Liberty those are the things that are going to make the W NBA grow It ain't gonna just be oh Caitlin Clark is playing the night Let's do it in a watcher. There still has to be other stuff to add into it She can't be the only draw I think she's good and she gets people's eyes or watch and get that weren't watching it before But now since we're watching we want to know what are the storylines of the WNBA what should we be looking for like do her and what's my girl from Vegas name Age was her and Asia was to get along what does it look like when they play it's like gonna be a rivalry It's something like that like there needs to be people in the W NBA working 24-7 to establish the story last throughout the season for this year Nick she was a lethal weapon in college.

You think that would translate to the NBA I think she'll do well in the WNBA I don't think she'll be a lethal weapon in the WNBA Like I don't think she's going to be like Curry was in Davis in a translated NBA and kind of blow up his you know Well even in with Kurt it took about like four or five years for him to really it took me second contract to really blow up in NBA But I think the hype around her is just gonna be as long as she plays well Like I heard people say that she it she may average 13 14 points in the WNBA to me That's not good enough. Yeah, that's not good enough She needs to be able to like produce at like 17 points plus like she should be really averaging like 20 if we won't talk about her People with this hype because I mean she was dropping with 30 and 40 in college, so I think Yeah, if she doesn't do that and I don't see any like I see this She just has a great rookie campaign people still to win because they want to see like Lucid They want to see her go against the other you know contemporaries in the league or like whenever that matchup is with Chicago Who draft the angle reach like oh? That'll be entertaining but like after a while some artists is shitty like how we remember and you'd rather get to go somewhere else Watch people ball So what a true Wilson I do here people mention her name what she she average what 20 something What she ever she ever she ever she's a star double she's a starting beat she's a big starting beat she's a repeat in that team is a champion We're not even winning a piece of shit. All right, I can't remember Rob It's her and I'm Stewart reality Stewart.

Yes, you the face of the lead 22 and 9, okay Yeah, so I just And that should be something that the WNBA doubles down on like what it look like when she plays a Wilson cuz I was in has Transcended just like oh if you watch the WNBA you know who she is like you can see her out And I'll just ask you like they'll show the little quits cuts of her own ESPN or whatever Maybe when she had a basketball game, so she's famous and even over she's so it'll be a big deal her cake and play Yeah, and the thing the thing of it is a lot of those WNBA players are they talking major trance and they can't wait She get there. You want to show her? Yeah, I'll say how it ain't you make it Right and she's not back now, you know, she's not I like about her That's one of the things I think it will transfer over in her being a professional She ain't like me she's like she ain't bound down like she don't wish he was saying even to her speech I think when she got drafted last night. It's like I'm a competitor.

I come to play Mm-hmm, so he's gonna be good that the other girls are challenging her and want her to like okay So show me what you got and she would be like no, I'm gonna show you I think that's gonna be good Yeah, what's this a good move the Chicago sky made a move in the draft to trade up and they took Camilla Cardosa an angel Reese. That's crazy good move What is they just they just trying to you know take advantage of the attention? It's a good move and they solidified their front line and like you mentioned attention was there because Kim moki said in her speech that kodosu who knocked down flage in that game when they had a little duster Um, she said that she wouldn't have done that angel Reese. What's up?

Yeah, so in practice We get to see her and she's on the same team. Yeah, they're the same thing So the good part about that is both those ladies are enforcers and you got your front line is solidified Go those are six seven angel Reese. I think she's like six three both from the dominant rebounders both from a very aggressive And I can't wait to see them match up with some some other people in the league and see how that goes Yeah, I like the combination of those two on the front line. I like that I can't talk like yeah, Minnesota.

Mm-hmm. They can be fighting each other for rebounds because both of them rebound like crazy Mm-hmm in blocked shot. So you got you know, you got you got a presence there Angel Reese got to develop a little bit of a jump shot which I saw her working on Yes, she's gonna have to be able to do that out It ain't easy just to learn how to shoot jumpers You just ain't gonna do it overnight But she's gonna have to learn how to play inside outside with kodosu kodosu on the paint And there's no other reason for anybody else to be down there but her right so why would you do this? Just to establish your front line and create, you know You got depth now and you got size what you need you need size of rebound in regardless you can't you can't coach rebound And so to speak so when you bring in two dominant rebounders to dominant post players like that it can work Twin towels it really can't work.

So I think that's like I said, that's a good move You got two of the biggest names in college basketball on your squad now. So people gonna be checking for Chicago We're gonna score I don't know much about this thing. I'm trying to look now to see what's what but it was really don't matter I was surprised he was in this question in there when we were speaking that was gonna research by Nick but I think what I would resemble it to is The Patriots when they had Aaron Hernandez and I had Gronk like nobody No, I don't know about the WNBA, but I know I don't think that there's been a twin towers before so what I'm saying is you got I Do think it would be like a dual-tide-in system that we've seen like that What is this nobody's ever done this before you get these two big women as Shelton said playing the high role I don't know a lot about the WNBA so I haven't seen it before but I do think that there's something that would look different and could maybe Strike change or strikes you ain't you'll see a move You get there I said that I'm a joo-joo fan. I ain't like the women's basketball in a lot for me, but yeah, I'm a joo-joo fan We see you get there.

I'm watching you I say not what I said. I know what you said you might change your mind How many years she got? Two more years in the watching the game still the same Nicky ain't watch me watch I Know Let's get to the sport the play a 20 kicked off tonight I Was reading was on the propter Well, FIFO's not here the NBA regular season thankfully came to a close last Sunday with the final game dictating which teams Will be in the play in which teams officially made the playoffs with a play a tourniquet Turning set which team in the East do you believe will be the seventh and eight seed going into the playoffs? So you have Philly versus Miami and Chicago versus Atlanta.

I'm thinking it'll be In my opinion, I think mine is gonna win that first wrong game gets get the seven C I think Miami will beat Philly and then I think Philly will beat Chicago to get the AC I don't think Atlanta can beat Chicago. Wow, I'm saying a lot Mm-hmm. I know because it trades been out for a while. He only played I think two games down the stretch He's not himself yet in that Atlanta team I don't think played better without a no name they did but now he's back They got to try to you know get it working back into the lineup and get him back in you're right They did play better without him, but now you're gonna be looking back at him to do what he you know Be tricky in somebody on triple Yeah, and in Chicago is played pretty good down the stretch, you know, you got the Rosen who's been stepping up White has been playing probably white and playing really good basketball is well So they got you know, they got people let's make it moves and doing what they need them to do down the stretch So I think this car could be okay.

I think the Sixers will beat the heat and then I think the heat will win and I have Chicago beating at left We got the same thing just seven and eight swears just seven and eight suits I think that the Sixers eat depending upon how in be Heals and what he looked like as far as from an injury standpoint throughout the playoffs I think playing from that low of a seed gives him an advantage throughout the playoffs Especially with the team that they got and especially with the teams or at the top of the East I don't trust Boston I do not trust New York even though they should be able to maintain throughout the playoffs So if they can find a way to get in as the seven seed I really do like the chances of sixes Nick find it to you. I'm gonna go feel he's been playing better with it's not in Welsh you think you know He is Philly at this point, you know, I'm asking they were good But over a stretch he just you just can couldn't beat the guy I do like them in that matchup And I'm gonna go with the hometown man. I'm gonna go with Atlanta. Oh Chicago Yeah, I'm gonna go with Atlanta, Chicago.

Who you got Nick? Oh, you know, you don't mute Nick. Oh, we do not hear you He probably talking about the mix of something That's probably what I was telling him was silent radio silent like the next man for the last 50 years. Yeah Nick can't hear us because he would have made a face when he said ever for us.

Can you hear us? No? You saying somebody's right? Oh, he can't hear us.

Well Can anybody hear us? Yeah, we still we still laugh. Okay. You can hear us.

We just can't hear Nick. All right. Um, hmm No, Nick isn't he's muted now, but he wasn't muted. I mean, well, I can't even because he beat himself.

Yeah, when Nick's on outside again Yeah, we hear you Okay, yeah, yeah, all right, okay, all right, so yeah, we got to do my trust now I was just I was gonna say shut him right me flip time like a motherfucker on Philly, bro I'm saying the good is like you supposed to be the Philly the Philly fan and be that show squad You were rolling with him for all these years and the day that and the time of the heat comes back Even though you heard even dropping dirt like it ain't like he been slacking off on that and you got my enemy over them I ain't even doing shit. Oh, you know the only reason I say that though Nick is because and I know what you on that is because we see Miami do this every year Miami turns it on in the playoffs And I just got a feeling that that Philly is still one same thing I said about the Hawks I'm saying about Philly you trying to work in your star you know But when player you still trying to work him into the lineup and make sure everybody else get back to where they were at the same time And I think that heat game he gonna kind of take it You know to get warmed up and then the next game then we in I got really be in Miami It'll be close, but I think that I just haven't been impressed with Miami I know we always think that they can just turn it on but they haven't this season Or they haven't really had an even a good stretch so far this season even going into the going to the playing again So that's not like it's a great spot that there's been to be in the playoffs And then I got to I actually got the hog speed in the Bulls I think the Bulls they always On paper they look like they have better names than they actually play because I mean Yeah, I mean you know I say on paper they look like you got the Rose and you got Caruso You got what's the name? The Bulls be hoping though. They've been a Who's the bitch is it?

What's the name? The Bulls got a squad in the Hawks? Yeah, but they look at they coach Billy Donovan. I don't trust me I trust Billy Madison more than Billy Donner And I'm going to see four years so you can talk more about it I got the Hawks I got the Hawks being the Bulls and I got the Philly B Miami and I got Miami B in the Hawks So I got Philly in Miami as Philly at 7 Miami as 8 And I'm just gonna be praying for the Knicks if that's the case You have any thoughts on the WNBA?

I didn't think so They obviously putting her on on primetime TV we'll see but it turned like is that what we're talking about? No, we're all bad. We're all bad. Yeah Draft takes for the WNBA Show these two people we're talking about now.

Show you for LSU and we're talking about Kana Kark. That's it. Yeah What do you have in the East? Philly versus Miami Chicago versus Atlanta.

We got one of those matchups You said Philly versus Miami. Mm-hmm. Let me play off Jimmy even though even though they're the gaming They just rated us by the way. Oh today.

That's what's up. Appreciate y'all. Um Even though it beat has looked good. I just I don't trust it though.

I just I don't trust it can be Miami We know that Miami every year elevates a whole nother level come play off time We've seen it so I like do you are you confident in cutting them out? Yeah, knock them out Just I don't think that they would give their I won't say tanking but they won't give they all in this game versus Philly But they will give it in the next game. Do they have to win? Mm-hmm.

Tell my plane that way we play They probably feel like they can beat the Celtics they beat them last year Don't I mean the next maybe a while car I don't know if we can beat them we ain't got like the perimeter defense to stick up with Bronson and Boston don't got that So if we do lose we not mad because we play at Boston now we beat Boston already We got Jimmy for Tatum we think we're better team to boss some I rather had a AC done the seventh seat Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I know we jump in there. I come to that it sounds like he's saying That's what he's saying. It ain't impossible. He's saying it can't he said they got to lose the wind But um, no, I think so so playing is tonight, right?

Yeah, it's not for West okay, so who do I tonight you got Denver in LA and Sacramento? No, LA and um, no I'm using LA in the water so they play now Lakers in Orleans. Yeah, like it's a hundred twenty They're up like twenty nine up to you right now. Oh, I thought it was when he did not really It's over regardless of what's going on guys.

It's not over. No, actually up seven things. I don't want into the fourth world. It's not over Oh Nada they were not they were dominating.

Yeah, and the pelicans got some old you got some energy game around Oh, you know, so the game is over the game is over. It's like a sweet swill alert watch You know what's about to get hurt who he's not a lady Yeah, just try some out yeah, they better I can tell yeah They are definitely better. What you got for the Bulls? Hoxie matchup people bull's Hawks.

Um Trey young is he officially back? Mm-hmm. Okay. Um I'm gonna go Bulls.

I'm gonna go Bulls. I think They're a little grittier than the Hawks are hoxie pre modontas. Mm-hmm. I think the Bulls can bully him.

Okay, okay All right, I see there moving on well, we know where we just talked about the West What's this guy with the afro number 11? The Lakers That's Jazin. Hey, yeah, they definitely trouble now look at that. Look at that bro.

I'm telling you spike Let's get back to the West Who do you have a one of these matchups? We're talking about the Lakers and and whorl is and then after that we have the Warriors versus Sacramento I'll go first. I got the Lakers winning because You already know how I feel about this whole Zion experiment the league has been passed him by we all the white boys now And of course I'm going with Sacramento. I think this is the Warriors have done That's right that train been gone.

Mm-hmm. I don't know Nick We got the Lakers winning But it ain't gonna be easy But yeah, I think a game runs, you know, they were up 12 No, we're all is got a little desperate. Um, so Lakers probably always gonna be easy. Maybe get things stabilized All I know is just not overs like that's all I'm saying.

It's over. It's all I got the Lakers when that over Sacramento Warriors game. I think I'm witching it. I got a sneaky suspicion The war the the Kings may end up willing that one out, but they haven't played well down the stretch and the Warriors have been playing way better Than they have been they've had some easy favorable matchups, you know for the Warriors, so But they just I mean they the Tefsea though can and like and only the only way I'll give you that is if Fox I don't know if he still had that is done with that ankle I think he was hurt for a little bit, but if I since it is our least 80% 85 like I got them Like there's no way that I'm rolling with them like going with the Warriors.

It's just going off a history more than anything History as far as the Warriors. Yeah, like you're just going off a history of them Like I'm just always want trust the Warriors. So you have more belief in the Kings. That's crazy Who are you trusting on that word is the outside of courage?

I I Will I I for a seven game series, the best player from SGA and stuff would be stuff, I would believe it. SGA is a better place to stuff. I ain't saying that he's not, but I'm saying if you get seven games, if you get seven games and somebody got to be the best out of them seven games, not do 82 games, I would take stuff over SGA. And I can see how he would outperform him in seven games versus 82 games.

He's not what he's talking about the whole series. He is, you know why? Because in key moments, it's not gonna be the totality of the box score, it's not gonna be a box score series in terms of SGA versus Steph Curry. It's when Steph Curry dominates those two or three minutes that are pivotal to seal the game.

That's the difference between go to state and OKC. Remember I said a couple weeks ago, I don't trust Minnesota, I don't trust OKC because they're too young. Not saying that they're not talented. It's sometimes talented, get you, but when you're talking about going to go to state, those transitional runs early, third, later, middle of the fourth, when both teams have missed two or three shots in a row, all of a sudden, go to say his six or seven, four of them is three.

They can foul here, it's how they come to the point. You know what I'm saying? Now they feel dejected. And then here come the lights get assassinated for four, he boos, he ain't even more hurt.

Even more hurt, so look, all I'm saying, Nick, is that OKC hasn't been put through the ring but they are not proven at all in the playoffs. So let's not, they could be the number one C, but the number seven number AC coming into the playoffs is gonna be a tough opponent for that number one OKC team. Now if you said this, that was like the Lakers, then I can make it, you can make a really good case for that, but since the Lakers are going to line up, that's the thing to play Denver. We already know what they fate is gonna be.

I think that Sacramento can take this, it's gonna be, I'm not gonna say it's gonna be a blowout, but it's gonna be a close game, but I got Sacramento. And then between that, I mean, OKC, whatever, I think OKC is good enough to get out of the first round, regardless of who plays, if that's going to stay or Sacramento, but outside of that, it's a wrap. They can be Sacramento. They can be Sacramento, they're not, if Sacramento wins this game, which I'm gonna go to state, by the way, I think that, um, we still gotta get to AC, you can take all the parts of it.

We didn't even say it was gonna win the AC though. So say, the AC would be the winner of the, no, the winner of Golden State Sacramento versus this team. So, right, so we take it to the Pelicans, and I'll stay with the Pelicans. We'll take it over to the Orleans, right?

Yeah, yeah, that's what we get. So that's based off, y'all say, I think. So who was yours, Nick? I'm saying AC don't matter.

Who was that both of you? Who was that both of you? Who was Sacramento? Who was Sacramento?

New Orleans. Um, it's my, I'm just talking about for this matchup tonight. Oh, I'm so lucky to lose though. So Sacramento versus, you guys Sacramento versus New Orleans, who's winning that game?

It don't matter to me. It could be. I'll pick the one. I will pick, I'll pick Sacramento still.

Cause I just don't show, this is what I'll say. They don't look, y'all look at they stands, they look like it's more people on that stage right now than it is and they don't look like a building. I think it would be a drift. Yeah, I'll pick Sacramento again.

But like to me regardless, whoever's in the AC spot, they won't get bounced in that first round. That's great. I think he's saying how he has a chance. I think OKC is most likely to lose to any AC.

Any, any one of these teams can be OKC. I don't know. I think you're going to resume OKC. And that's, that's going from somebody to give a fuck about OKC like that.

Oh, I think so. No, I think, I think that they're correct. Cause like I said, I think OKC is tough. But like I said, I said the same thing.

I'm the one that said the same thing about Minnesota. I just don't think that they have the way with all the, to withstand these guys and play off. That's the thing, that's the thing for playoff experience. And all four of these teams that may possibly be in the AC have more playoff experience than OKC does.

And yes, SGA had a great year, but I don't know if that translates into a first round win in the playoffs, regardless of how good he is. Right. I don't know. I don't know.

I do know what stuff there it can do. I do know what LeBron James can do. I see you. I don't know what you're doing.

Like he's doing it now. They up. Can you stop? Bro, it's like one of your five.

The game is over. It's all. It's like killing Anthony Davis. The Lakers have the same thing.

The other thing is Zeion had the game in his life. This game, Nick, you're a hip and apology. Oh, man. I don't know.

Can you carry out 33 and 11 right now, Nick? What you got to say? How many play off series wins we got? Show versus RJ Barrett.

But you said he would hear like he's here now. I was at the US. The wrong happens with him. Right now.

But no, Nick, would you at least take away his bust? Mark and breaking break. If he was if he was this game, pale, nine, take it away. He's losing it.

He's the one that's he's the one that's he. You know, four points, bro. If he loses this game, what that means? Lou, I mean, I mean, Murphy, the third is keeping him in it.

It's true. It's true. It's true. He was right.

It's true. I thought it was. I didn't make a game free trophy. It was the way.

It was the way. The game is tight. We game is over. Five point game.

Five is left. The Lakers are going to win this game. It was also a lot of confidence though. Two points.

I'm here to get a little bit. Two point games. I am with the assist. Ninety one, eighty nine, five minutes left.

I'm sorry, man. I'm just excited that this game is close because I don't. I don't give a win. I just want to close.

Look at Zion against Bronco. Yeah. Bronco's guard Zion. Oh, he picked him up.

Did this one set you ahead to? Not O'ry. See? You got the same performance?

Okay. Give a makes. Give a run. So where's, uh, so you said, uh, Lakers got to go in the game?

Yeah, look. Look, look, this is typically what happened, especially at this point in the game. There's always going to be a team that has been dominant, but there's always a team that catches on late. It could be the dominant team or it could be the team that's coming back.

Right now, the applicants are catching on late. If they come out of this time out and still have the momentum, it might be over for the Lakers. How many tricks, how many tricks on a tape would they have to switch? The Lakers, the Lakers have to make a point right now out of this time out.

They have to get a score. 99 you don't like the Lakers or the Lakers You must be ahead too. I guess it's 93. It's not it's too.

Yeah, they already scored. It's up before now. Oh, I guess I'm behind them Oh, okay, there's my still saying 89 91. Yeah, anyway, so that whole scenario may change between the you know the AC So Lakers should they lose may end up playing the Kings and then yeah Kings to beat them like three times three four So they can't deal with the area So then Lakers might be going home or the Lakers make it okay, see I can't see the Lakers go home before they get to the playoffs That is that's a stain.

I'll be a stain on LeBron's legacy. How does that a stain on LeBron's legacy? You can bounce into playing by the Kings I don't know that I heard him that much. Thank you I'm just saying we give them all this price to be an old man in the gym who could still ball with the young It's true, but like not we can't just have it both ways.

I always try to have both ways of the broad You know Remember this loss in They train in LaVrona they traded 80 well No, that was not even go there yet. Well, we hear though since now this game is up for grabs because Lou basically just jinxed He did Could this could they be doing this on purpose should the Lakers try to lose against the bell again Be the night Tennessee to avoid matching up with the nuggets where the second seat no no No, no, because they don't know if they can beat the Kings. They don't know if they can beat the Warriors I know they can't be the nuggets hard game in this one. So you know what?

Little brother don't know that but they thought they thought did last year the ball bounces a couple different ways in that nuggets here What you sure? Everything was close Close all of those games were close the lake the point differential in that matchup was the closest versus any Denver opponent all play off Including the fight. So what is we talking about? What's got sweat?

They think they think they can beat the nuggets. So this is what you're telling me the games was close in a sweep Yes, so in for games they couldn't get one if it was close Because I'm asking y'all because y'all think that running it back again It was more season nuggets team who they actually know how to play playoff basketball and my reporter junior is It's actually a sendin and their fourth best player is Aaron Gordon. They can finally Win a game, but beat the lucky That's what happened. That's what's going to happen.

Okay. Hmm. Well, I know what somebody need to do some about Zion This is where culture comes into play That's what it does got another one's names. Yeah, you're definitely ahead of me Where yours it he just dumped what's the time frame on before?

506 Mmm, so you was it I'm watching the I'm just watching you watch it. Yes. Watch it. You guys.

I'm always watching it to cry I was watching the game, but I'm looking at the stats That's an interesting somebody's that's I bet you do Well Please look and shake me for the Lakers. This is you pretty bad collapse. Oh Lord But while that is going down Hmm, oh Shout out. Don't be spoiling for us either.

Thanks in that who likes pass. I needed that one While the play intern is still been decided with the side with the number two and number one C's we play We are the rest of the matchups already set So Let's look ahead to the West. Sorry. I got distracted.

It's crazy in the Bronx won't be bound I want to see it from triple double. Well, let's time I Try to Football guy tries to talk basketball. He looked crazy Lakers are going to win this game I see it right I see a saying about this show and even if they lose this the shit that Nick we talk about I understand that they could goddamn near 40 fucking points But let's see if experience can't hear and see if these guys are saying also reads you got so good time out though Man Nick was Zion got 38. Yeah, 11.

I'm saying this I'm saying this right now. He didn't do it He make the playoffs yet, so I'm giving them a what do you do? I'm going to win this game. Then what happens?

The crowd going wild off of so which match are you guys looking forward to Minnesota versus Phoenix or the Clippers versus Dallas Dallas for me. Yeah, yeah, you take some Paul George and you know Paul George and Kawhi Can't paper play a Luca Luka and Tyree. That's gonna be really nice to the West this series and see the chest mass between Tyloo and takes a kid see what happens. Yes matches a strong word that is a strong word Why is that not applicable between Jason kid and Tara?

Yeah, you're talking about your former point guards two guys that think the game and we've seen Jason can have some Success coach you a point God I get there But that ain't what we told it into the series for we told it into the series for all the talents I don't really I don't even know how much time Lou or Jason kid going have to do with this series You're gonna have to make adjustments because We're talking about the world. These are five of the most we're talking about Westbrook Tyree excuse me. Kari Luka Kawhi like these are five of the most skilled players in the world I have to do with this as far as outcome. They really just didn't take notes on the side.

Oh my god This is why I really disagree with you Listen Dallas has two of the top 10 iso players in the game Yes, tylu is going to have to make defensive decisions as to how are we gonna guard them? Just gonna put koala and we see look at kawaii and PG before in the playoffs. Yeah, but ultimately That's what I'm going that's the answer to the question. No, that's not the answer I'm necessarily saying that it's the right answer, but that's what he's going to do every time right not necessarily because what if you say You know what we're gonna put kawaii on kairee We're gonna put PG on their third score and let Luke go crazy But we're gonna lock down everybody else those are decisions that that dictate the outcome of the series Yeah, but players are gonna be players, but it's how you move these pieces around I can't say that like I'm saying this is like watching pop versus Sposh where you because those are too much better like exit and exes and old coaches versus bro Have you heard anybody break down the Cleveland Cavs game plan which I don't lose it.

Yes All right, that's cool I'm talking about in this series that's not the thing that I'm looking for is the But because you're a fair one to play on the floor What you have to do is you have to cuz if you know like what people say Anytime you play in a series it's all about adjustment y'all y'all won't see anything different than y'all ever seen from these two coaches That's what I'm saying. There won't be any surprises Yeah, y'all are not gonna be like damn man. That was a hell of a coaching move by Jason kid It is because look I always do it. Thank you.

Shelton play. I'll always do it It's all and you know what and this is why I keep saying that you're a friend with a fan And this is why I'm into here I know you are and you sound like it and this is the reason why LeBron and JJ read his podcast ain't for everybody because then boys get extremely B-toe so cats like me and Shelton and Beasy for 30 that are that love basketball to that nature It's like damn this was smart for this reason and that reason and it's that in the third and those little nuance things that they do because it could it could Be a rotational thing it could be I'm gonna put a small on a big We just saw and I don't know if this was intentional, you know the same but just in the midst of watching this putting a verado on LeBron Mm-hmm. I would say this I agree with Lou but for different reasons as far as this My thing is with the Clippers and the Dallas series like it's not gonna be interesting because James hard yucky Got it back to James hard at all. He's the curse on that team.

So that's the reason why I think the Dallas is gonna win this So I'm not even worried about that but for me is a high- high was Minnesota Phoenix not a premier match up more than Dallas and Clippers I'm just going to Dallas there was for the drama if you want to talk about like what's gonna happen basketball as in Competition that's gonna happen when Ant-Man is going against KD the light skin do and the dude that we don't care about it left DC like not because Firepods more stars in fire power. Yeah, what with Dallas Clippers? There's way more firepower here where Ant-Man it always feels We're watching Ant-Man kind of overcome Rosser deficiencies and it's an amazing thing to watch but let's be honest You know how to say a lot of firepower that Phoenix does that's not gonna be as exciting as Luca and Kyrie versus PG and Kawad We're talking two six nine dudes six eight dudes wing like elite tier one defenders against the two of the best ISIL players in NBA That is way more exciting than what Phoenix Minnesota got going on I know is that James hard is going to ruin that for the Clippers because he's a curse on any team that he goes on Especially when it comes to play up. That's why I'm saying it ain't gonna be that interesting.

It may be a sweet That's close to me. That's we boo. That's we for the maps. I think Kyrie is the same in grace for Luca season And I'm saying I'm the ascension of Ant-Man is where I'm looking at cuz he's the future elite and seeing him going against KD It's something that I'm like that's box office to me and Kat might be coming back We should be coming back for that series too.

So it ain't gonna be like as Laughs I'm not the cat back already That's all about to say breaking news of people is I gotta live in all the court. That's all that shocking Us they got 40 man. Yeah, 40 ain't going home We got 40% of the points right now. Oh what happened?

I wasn't a father. I gotta see the play you taking up 40% of their damn salary cap, too Wow, why is that with mmm the dude fall yes, told ya that's a horrible play by a vibrato I told ya Look like it's like it's a two-point game in each and checking up freeze And it just got filed about to be a target This is what happens when you have people like Steph Curry me to face an NBA the issue they have though is is the Angelo Russell can't stop anybody What a play oh I see what happened. I can see how was you throw he had an open layup and he threw it out for three Yeah, I think I believe you know I think there's some issues going on with YouTube. Yeah, we don't know what's going on I think here's not here is but yeah something seems to be a miss.

Oh what a miss. Yeah, something something something going on with the tubes Yeah, so we'll see. Let's see so I think um Sorry, I'm trying to get focused. I'm saying watching this game I was gonna Got a minute eight left.

This is exciting first game though. Yeah, yeah, probably a little bit more silent than Lou won it Mm-hmm. We thought it. I just said it would be exciting.

I told y'all who was gonna win like this is like a student What's cuz it ain't gonna be close? I ain't saying that I know the Lakers can win. Oh Oh, that's all Russell what I'm gonna say about 50 seconds Good triple penetration there. There you go ball game Come on, bro.

It ain't all yet. All right. Um, why they go to commercial and my de-rut dealo celebrating game. That's not one Like loo Uh, you know what Nick?

I think wait, no which one's you been it as far as between the Which one the Lakers and pelicans no no no no no no no no no no no once it already said Minister Minnesota and Phoenix is something I black people sleep it on that matchup. I'm with you and the reason why of course, you know Ant-man is obvious, but um The sons people have really slept on how well the sons include myself how well the sons have performed Once those guys got back in they got a chance to play together They got a chance for the rotation. They had a really rough stretch for the last 10 games or so. And they managed to come out of that with a winning record, I believe.

So KD, Bill, and Booker. Yeah, they figured something out. You trust KD in the playoffs, kid. That's a million dollar question.

Can't we teach? Because we've never seen KD lead a team to a championship. What do you mean? What happened to go to say?

It's a kind of like the team to a championship. Who's the player with the finals? I think he made it on his own though. Just because he was the final.

Because he was the final. That was that. You don't know his squad. I'm just saying that was his squad.

Yeah, right. When he was squad. That was not his squad. He was the best player, which means he was the deciding factor.

He's got all this. He never been to a finals before. He played with Steph. What you talking about?

What are you talking about? He was okay. That's right. That's right.

No, but they lost, right? Yeah, he lost in the run. Yeah. Yeah, he was shit without Steph.

Yeah, shit without Steph. So at the end of the day, I don't trust KD like that. I don't trust some leading being the guy on the team. What happened in Brooklyn?

He was one. He was one. He was one. He was one.

She was a debacle though. Let's be honest. Let's talk. We're talking about him.

Is that because of him? You forgot his father's on the line. Is it? How do you get hurt?

Hardin was in my head. Yeah. How did that happen? He decided to go there.

He picked him. No. Let's talk about the results of that. We know.

Okay. He was disbanded in three years. It's on the line. He almost went.

He almost went on the line. He went away. That's why I was in. That's the reason.

It's important that those other guys play with him. He's not going to be the same thing. He picked Kyrie and he picked James O'oden. He lost.

He picked Bradley Bill and he had a fucking David book and lost with him. It's on K.D. He can't avoid being, oh, I'm K.D. and talking to people like, oh, you know who I am?

I'm K.D. Hey, can you tell me where he comes down to? He's messing with you. He absolved himself of all the blame.

He said, oh, I heard the right teammates. I said my foot on the line. No, bro. It's on you.

Why are you all even the seven-seem? Because they had a lot of injuries to start the season. He came to you. Booker, listen to his trash.

You got him. He was hurt. I'm like, what the... He says I'm going to play it.

I respect stuff more than I respect, K.D. That's unnecessary and that's borderline crazy. I understand why you say that. You understand why I'm not borderline crazy.

You understand why I don't respect Katie? Don't respect Katie. I don't respect Katie. There's no Warriors dynasty.

But when I'm Katie, they had championships. Did you hear what I said? Did you hear what I said? S L I say, again, without Katie, without Katie, the Warriors don't have a dynasty.

And she rings, does not make a dynasty. that's the case. That's the case. I mean, that's the case.

Who would you recognize without Katie? Katie has no ring. He got the second ring without Katie. He has no rings without Steph.

That's the case. I didn't disagree with that. Okay. Which is why it was so important for Kobe to win one without Shaq.

Right? So come on now. No, no, no, what the extent is so important. They won't worry.

They lost the ring. They're not a doctor. Okay. Cool.

I disagree with that. But at the end of the day, we're talking about Steph has more rings alone than Katie has with him. Exactly. So Katie can't be like, oh, I went to Phoenix where I went to Brooklyn and I won these rings without going to go to state.

Yeah. But you can make the argument like you guys are making it all. He wouldn't have this dynasty if they want it to Katie, but he still would have rings. I don't even know if Katie would have a ring if it wasn't stuff.

Not really. Carmelo Anthony. I do agree with that. But either way ago, he did contribute to him.

You did. What? I'm not. Hey, we know I just hate it.

I'm trying to hard to have more trust than Katie to stuff. That's this for me. That's moving. I'm moving to argument.

That's not what we're saying. No, no, no, no, no. Because I picked go to state and I did pick Phoenix and that was crazy. I'm saying the fact that y'all are like, y'all question, y'all questioning Katie's whole basketball or his whole legacy just for the fact that he went to Brooklyn before COVID.

What's that? I'm just saying before the black. COVID. The context matters because COVID was the reason why the vaccine.

That's the reason why Kyrie didn't play. He was a part-time NBA player. He didn't predict that he couldn't control that. James Harden in response to Kyrie doing that.

James Harden quit the team. He do every other team. And then Katie was literally going toe to toe with Giannis in the books by himself, one of the two. I'm talking about K.D.

against Memphis and missing four free throws on the stretch. That's what I'm talking about. This goes beyond K.D. going to go to state.

This goes beyond K.D. going to Brooklyn. This is K.D.'s entire career. And the shit that you're talking about and this is the reason why I've been looking at you crazy.

Oh, LeBron, Mr. Playan, are we going to talk about it? Well, obviously we're not talking about K.D. And K.C.

Mr. Freake goes against that Memphis. We ain't going to talk about LeBron missing a damn play in this place. At the end of the day, if you're talking context, let's talk about all the context.

And K.D. has struggled in many clutch situations. That's not how you'll say that's this is the title. When we've seen him, he'll be in the playoffs in the finals.

And also look at him, the seventh seed in the West right now. Okay, what's the real reason why it's calledrap? What's the real reason why he's what's the real reason why he's calledrap? What's the real reason why he's calledrap?

Which is why we're talking about LeBron missing a damn play in this place. So at the end of the day, if you were talking context, let's talk about all the context. And K.D. has struggled in many clutch situations in his entire career.

I don't know how you'll say he's in top career. When we've seen him be touched in the playoffs in the finals. Will he have the milestone? He's on his side!

What's the leader of that team? He was the D.C. He's together to wear unsex. I don't know what's the...

Yeah, what's the... He just talked... He literally seems. You know what I'm saying?

Let's go to Brooklyn and let me bring Kyrie Irving along and let me bring whoever else he brought to Brooklyn and it didn't work. And he's the one that came to Phoenix and then they brought Bradley Bill in and they thought that he could play with the like Devin Booker. They thought that these things were going to work for Kevin Durant and it never works. Somebody got to do with him.

It ain't just everybody else. Well, what I'm saying is what Nick was trying to ask you is that you said that he was a seven-seize in the West. Yes. Like that's a negative.

It is. That's a negative. No, wait, listen. So you're talking about LeBron and Steph are better leaders of their team than they take on the scenes for us.

Yes. Yeah, we're talking about LeBron and Steph. They didn't play it. They didn't qualify for the playoffs.

Oh! Okay. Oh, no. You didn't call Katie Ricky.

He is. Katie Ricky, bro. Katie. Katie.

Hey, bro. First of all, first of all, they older than he is. And secondly, he's on a much better team than they are. Lou, first of all, Katie older is definitely older than Steph.

And second of all, you and FIFO must be doing a lot of work at outside of podcast with the way I move and go post more ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.

If LeBron James had Devin Booker and Bradley Beale on his team, they wouldn't be a 7 seat. If Stephen Curry had Bradley Beale or Devin Booker on his team, they wouldn't be a 7 seat. I promise you that. And for the record, just to get some ages in here, we already know LeBron, Otis Hill, but it's only a one-aged difference between the two per good old Google, Steph, 36 and Katie is 35.

See? I told you. I told you. And I know LeBron Otis Hill.

I know that. I don't see how y'all penalize, a team who actually made the playoffs versus teams who are fighting to complete the lineup. So because the team didn't make the playoffs, didn't have Bradley Beale and Devin Booker on his team. They didn't have Bradley.

They didn't have injuries, too. They had injuries all season. Yes, who is the Lakers version of Bradley Beale and Devin Booker? Wait.

Y'all going to tell me AD? He'd been hurt. Just like y'all are saying they've been hurt. AD actually played a lot of games this season.

He played over like 65 games. Which is way more than what we thought. Same thing with Zions, I didn't play 70 games. What happened?

How you see? What happened? What happened? What happened?

What happened? What happened to, what's his name? Who? What?

They survived. Lou, aint? I told you, called it. You called it.

No, you called it. You didn't call it. You didn't call it. You said it.

You called it. You called it. You told me to run it. You told me to say the NFL.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll say this.

If Ziya did not live off the field, they would not have won their game. Okay. I'm gonna tell you. Hey, remember what's going on here?

What's Ziya finished with? 48. 48. 48.

11. 6. Pro. Unstoppable.

80 was on him. He cooked him. We're gonna try to jump on him. Cooked him.

Yeah. What's great. Seeing that. Would you take them tomorrow?

Was that always I heard? No. I heard that. Yeah.

40, 11 and five. That's in a playoff game. This is where you play in. Yeah.

Playing. I mean, but it wasn't. It was a win. You're gonna go home, right?

Yeah. That's my win. Not win. Go home.

Yeah. It's pressure, right? He stepped up. He carried that team on the big stage.

Yeah. They were. I mean he was. I think somebody in the chat said it was 105.

It was him. Cause CZ didn't do anything. CZ and then did nothing tonight. Nine points.

Yeah. Insane. So let's talk about this matchup. Not that we know what it is.

Nuggets versus Lakers. There's nothing to talk about how many games do Lakers win? One, maybe two. None.

It's a gentleman swap. It's a gentleman sweep. I think it's a gentleman sweep. last year too when they didn't so you said six I think I think those six I think those five maybe six maybe six maybe it's four maybe five me and Nick on the same page I don't think I was late huh it's early man looking at the way Zion took the hell out of AD like he made his weakness his agility his ability to kind of just switch hands and later ball up at one point I thought AD was a defender yeah used to be yeah so he just he they got destroyed I think it'll be sweet yeah I think the like is gonna sweet the nuggets let's jump to the East man probably not as exciting as the West but let's talk about it in a way we got the Milwaukee Bucks versus the Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers versus the Orlando Mac they need to say this is to be like the first I don't know about the first round he made his first round he's maybe in the key like if he come out like he came back to the places near right you know I love capturing yeah really early and pop this is in a family with John if you come back yeah he'll do with that on season basically win that series of hella burn leave the paces to a victory doesn't matter do you care I don't care like the paces can we upset him about okay like you absolutely right he does not matter yeah I got indie winning just by stuff of doc already no there you go they might have a kid on that damn side if I can't lose a series he won't be the I can't afford to get him before job here yeah they are Japan 3 cultures I know they're right they have three cultures they've been on the payroll it's the they still pay they still paying bud they still paying Adrian or the do the black dude they fired and they pan and they can't afford to fire another coach no and without you know what I only want to say but I'm gonna say it anyway they should be able to be the pace for this without without on y'all is at least get a game or two which I'll basically know day we forgot that's really not a silly day but I Chris Middleton is playing decent down the street it's gonna be wrong game we talk about the pace though I'm not once again I'm only saying because we're playing they play in the paces I just don't have much for you saying I like the paces like they could play no defense but they can score with anybody right but I have no I have no faith in him y'all just don't break it all right like he's the Thanos of the series that's out there did this is too regular it's too regular as teams playing and Halliburton is the best player on to regular as teams no not necessarily comes out but nothing good down the stretch remember he was having not a miss the high games though he better than I suppose to be not be heard no I think the person that we seen in the first 10 weeks of the season going into a playoff series you're telling me I don't know if you're honest it's going to be healthy and if I'm Indiana I feel like I got the best player in this series Rob seven games isn't go seven and if it goes seven in the other way like who are you trying to write this script to make it more exciting bro it is not gonna be nothing like that bro I got any when it went in and he might do the same shit that I'm saying go seven I'm saying the same thing you say I know I think it's one five or six I think he's going with a gentleman's seat but especially fiance's outslash hurt I don't see the the books got knocked out when Yannas was heard last year by the heat and they were playing team like come on you think he's a heat though I'm just saying we know what the heat we didn't expect it he to do shit we didn't you saying the heat though like we all picked the heat to win that series we did not you just like I got picking Milwaukee to win just off the strength of Dane you know what it's now fine it don't matter it don't matter it don't matter when the series won't wait a little matter whether I can box what I can see worse than the next series is even worse you got Cleveland and Orlando geez oh yeah but Carol might be fun to watch I like you know but this here is gonna be probably dull as hell because it's a whole thing is defense right who Orlando's I think this was I don't know who watch it a little bit about that you talk about that you know what I'm watching this for Danny Mitch you know what I'm watching is for Danny Mitch you know I gotta make sure I gotta see how you follow up I'm saying you know what I'm saying you know what you mean you want to get rid of getting down image trays another girl I got a small here that's gonna be a small Beckwood hey we got the number two C what's your name so you so you give up hard the way he played for not even know we're gonna give up our we're gonna go to it which is my wall we're gonna play Leon Rose is the G is behind all that he don't figure it out the way cuz who would have thought the villain over squat in 2024 have a number two CDs that's okay so down to me check it up keep it up no no we go we're gonna bring it back home I am down to Michigan by him so she'll go name still trying to get to Miami I know it's not he's done in trouble he better get somewhere yeah cuz he has a bro you know he went to Cleveland and just he don't care he does not care what happens from I don't think from that Cleveland he needs to get you know you'll see a braid in the next concert he knows if you go to New York if you go to Miami or whoever surprised us and like maybe Washington wanted some money as some stupid people still care about down in this absolutely I'm right over here right over here right here he's not NBA right about yeah he had a name as a star when he was in Utah he did okay there's more exploitation here now because he's not really meaning expectation he's the seed is clean for okay we are talking about he still put in he's still doing actually this is just an answer this question he was out for cool is more intriguing at or DMic don't do that do that because I think what he was more treated muka or trademark for the third way so what I'm saying is not freaking with that's what I'm asking so what so not even used to be intriguing if you let him tell you he'll probably say it's because I'm in Cleveland that I'm not that intriguing exactly where intriguing in a smaller marketing Utah that was me that was a lot look look look what did I just say expectations were set when he went to Cleveland Cleveland was a very young extremely talented team more talented than Utah you added on Mitchell you're supposed to be a top three Cleveland bro it took the bright to the best basketball player in the world ever to come there for them to win a championship down the Mitchell is not that so what I'm saying is when his contract that was a completely different scenario it's not 100% it is it's not because no LeBron James was one of the best basketball players we've ever seen you couldn't even get people to come to Cleveland you talking to me yes he did who he got to come who not players yeah I'm talking left he said I feel you some of my business I know it likes that's my best spot at the end of the day the reason why this is not the same is because you're a hundred percent right it wasn't that LeBron couldn't attract people it was because the owner was too cheap to know nobody was coming like like Chris Bosh was supposed to come to Cleveland do you know what you mean thought he didn't want to go to Cleveland despite what you understand nobody going to do you understand that when LeBron was there the first time the owner said no to a mari starter mire and said yes to Jamison was a James right you're right you're right you're right you're right James from the Wizard I know you're talking about you that's right that's right that's right yeah that's right yeah that's why James right yeah and Johnson instead of a mari starter mire that was an older decision that was an a LeBron team at the end of the day with the Mitch went over there they had a young core they had there is Garland they have the lefty Mobley right they went and traded for Jared aller which is a top five top ten defensive big in the league then you add Donnie Mitch to that that has expectations you talk came out of nowhere so that's why he was intriguing anybody the hell knew who got him into us and all of a sudden we have a 20 point score in the West is getting a Western Conference team to the playoffs with no fucking expectation so now you go to a better team and you don't do shit guess what you got he got him he got him he got him and it's not I understand they were first round exit they got he's getting into me it's not available not even Mitchell is someone you got teams like me it's not available he's staying with Minnesota they're not letting him go Cleveland is about to let down the Mitchell walk so you got the mix you got Orlando you got all these teams are going to be like that and that's my point why is that why is he gonna be on the re-sign you know what I'm gonna re-sign you know what I mean he's not gonna be a Cleveland he's not the guy oh no this yes I'll be there because he is the guy there so Miami is going to offer him a contract you don't think they thank you to God no the Clippers are going to do you know when he leave get some Cleveland don't get without him it's leaving the Clippers you don't think they were offering him a contract and I think he's the guy you don't think they don't want to bring someone in who knows how to score who bit to display all his battles who ain't got a score and say okay we'll give down a Mitchell contract got him into his gonna have what the other contract you know when he leave get some Cleveland don't get without him into leave nobody there's nobody want to go to Cleveland you can't win there bro to the best basketball player of a generation to get a jam after they have enough talent if Donnie Mitchell was the guy to win a championship no yes that's true how you say that's not true you just said that they finished fourth in the East because they had a little bit you all right yeah that's not the guy let's get to the main point the next is when it going to the East the conference finals right Jalen Brusset is the MVP of the league by by who's done more than him besides well if you want to give a joke or that's fine but it's Jalen Brusset he's got more than Luca and SGA mama get out of here Nick well all right Nick on the shoulder night to say it back door they went to the number two C back door again they won the games they want all games oh that so that's what you that's what you're taking away right now they won the games okay we were gonna see that someone who wants to talk about Eagles yeah no no no we can't say when what was the last seven games like the regular season show who's that ready so yeah we what we may do for the NBA season you know maybe like reaction to one series of done I was talking about this like so hop on like if the magic beat Cleveland or you know like all right we look ahead or maybe them you know I'm just saying it you know it's easy but it's gonna be easy but it's gonna be if they are yeah it'll be sure or relevant ones you know it's something we do all of we can but oh yeah so that's a feeling the Warriors Sacramento playing right now so you know we'll see I just go I suppose about to get pumped you think you're gonna man up a little bit more after after three months you should have been talking about it he's not serious you know he should in the series he has a good year and I'm sure he had a play I'll talk just like we talk about him sure everybody else been talking about it like okay now I gotta step up Warriors look a little shaky especially this one we're gonna go home you gotta play now yeah they don't look like they were they were jumping on Fox win-linton to set up the play anyway let's jump to draft man cool is the clear cut number two quarterback prospect to come out of this draft class because we know Caleb this the guy so who's next who do I got as the second best we're seeing it shift though they keep trying to put the white boy here drink me up there yeah they keep trying to put Drake me not even Caleb JJ they move Jay Jay's like all Jay Jay's moved all the way up he's at the top three now but it's gonna be Drake May it to wait do you think that he's the second best or you think this was one of these no he's absolutely the second day he was the second best quarterback we saw we saw him do it all year long even though the only argument you can have on him is fact that he played the Arizona state and he wasn't the same guy that he is at the end you know sometimes they go by the college for six years yeah sometimes they go by that you know but they like to say Drake may has all the intents it was he looks like a quarterback we know that talk we've heard this and seen this so many times in his back again and doing it again I think drink maybe will fair better than the others did but at the same time why you say that because he fair better like fair better than who though the other ones they try to make exact well I was thinking it'll be a better situation I think the quarterback not better than those guys were he's not as those guys saw deer and headlights at times he did not play up to his level at all times but those guys look scared at times I saw I said I watch that Wilson the college is like what's not gonna tell you he was not ready I saw the same thing with Josh Rose and I said the same thing with Sam Donald I said the same thing and I don't know if you go back and play this thing you played I said it I said those guys are watching play and I saw them fold when it was trying to play ball and with him he folded to he wasn't he too far off that line but he still got a little bit more talent a little bit more to work with the name because I seen him make plays and those other guys didn't make no need a place he made but at the same time he didn't make any plays sort of like fogging the lego I say I say that why I said I said I said I said I said I said it I said I said I said I said I said I said to me the number two quarterback this is a hot text I already know I got to say I think is actually Michael Pennix I think Michael Pennix is actually the clear-cut best number 2 QB I think when you're talking about Jayden Daniels that makes me a wide receiver that you ask him to throw around and not saying that he can't throw the ball but I'm just about his frame his frame is just like 175 like he don't know what's he's especially if he's trying to go to like the end of the number two was Washington the commanders like they got the NFC EC one against Dallas defense the New York Giants defense got better and he got the Eagles defense like so it's like not at least that defense defensive line I don't trust it I think Drake May is good but he was the height of well why before we had JJ get into this conversation so I don't know what we really gonna get out of him they sent his team was like Josh Allen light but I don't see it until I won't believe it till I see it but Michael Penn's I don't know how he dropped so far but I think depending on where he gets drafted out he should be the clear-cut number two quarterback in this class well Nikki had he's had a couple knee injuries he's had injuries throughout his career think my paintings in school what six years five six years I'm like that he got his doctors degree in that was yeah so that's why he can't be that regardless is the how well he played out of stretch and injury history yeah his injuries was automatically going home you see his 40 is 40 time yeah but it don't matter you know how to go you get that car fax that car fax got accident on it's the value still gonna drop and that's exactly what's happening to him saying and when he because he's going to get drafted by with who's gonna be at the bottom leg to be a rate I think the Raiders would do well to draft a my campaign extrusion seems like that because they're not at the top but they got a pick you know they can use the second round pick on him or late first round this way I think he'll be going alright y'all see ya alright because this is a loaded draft I mean we just talked about him you gonna see defensive starters up and down at draft board you gonna see why receivers up and down the draft board is gonna be playing making plays so you'll see like second third round still like first round the most years so you'll see some some good names coming off that board I was looking at a couple of my drafts and some of those names I see on there I'm like hey that's crazy you know you can get these guys that late in the draft Kool-Aid McKinstry corner back from Alabama we're getting this corner back from just naming a couple of cornerbacks for that matter at Clemson these guys would normally be high draft picks but they're gonna be late first round early second round picks and a couple of the wide receivers same thing they do still be available second round you know third round Brendan Rice jere rice is really nice couple of nice players out there yeah rice on play receiver yes be nice be down to that's right six four and he's 20 something he's score early winter school USA play with yeah he's nice nice nice nice little piece for Dallas Dallas because he's a good receiver he's a good receiver or Casey has a city because they're obviously gonna pick sort of into the first and there's gonna be hell of talent there like you said but I'll answer the question generally the Jaden Daniels I think is the second best quarterback I don't you know that was prop up a white boy this year's Drake May I don't I don't think or this is McCarthy well McCarthy as well this year they got to white boys I think they're made decent second best quarter back yeah I would go into my clinics I think the teams are gonna miss me with me oh we say I would go pins I think it's accuracy if he goes to the right situation I don't know if he go anywhere and be successful but if he goes to the right place he can be successful they're talking about the dolphins might be interested in my copanics mmm that's great that'll be nice that's that's smart yeah smart because are you really willing to pay to with that money you know where you talk about car facts so you say in franchise to a finish season yeah you're not to pay him now is next I thought it was this year I think they got pick up his 50-year option but yeah I mean oh yeah but either way yeah yeah y'all all right that ain't that ain't bad if I got paintings and I'm like telling to a I pay because it's the break it to see that or even having that is ref stuff yeah because you know like I feel like there's teams that would pay to it yeah you know what's right for me yeah I don't know if they trade for him but if he's in open like I think the Raiders pay him but I think the Raiders would pay him because the way that they're constructed they have enough that they feel okay we had to what we can we can win some games I think Seattle depending on what they do in quarterback this year might be a situation where two would can succeed so there's there's certain situations in the league where I feel to it can be a guy I just don't know if Miami because you start to look at that roster is getting expensive as hell and they say because you're gonna have to pay water pretty soon you know what I'm saying like they've already made some some decisions but I think if you could reset that quarterback money it might make the most sense that's possible I look good for the Warriors early is not they look a mess but you know this guy over here across from you always talk about coaching doesn't mean anything did you see what the I didn't say that I said in that series that we were talking about okay well we can speak matters I was to say to coach a second kid and I'm speaking specifically to coaching in playoff situations matters makes I like like look at this um they started kicking Mary on Steph Curry who that that is who is Sacramento coach that's all my friend my brother and he was he was with the Warriors and he's all that team I'm not saying this coach doesn't matter I want that to be that's what you may sound like I was saying in that particular matchup it doesn't matter it doesn't matter it's not trying to say and I stuff out the game that the white word that though so positive this was just if those say loses they play the pelicans tomorrow no go say lose they are out of the way this game plays the pelicans the winner of this game plays tomorrow I mean well the next time we have loses out yeah the winners will play the pelicans yes yeah so they love that white word pot in these key for whatever the name they gave you pretty well they gave him curly gotta slide them in the neck like like you know it came out heart started came out and he was black he black yeah he was like hard to say heart heart from the neck yeah he is though he was like crazy he's daddy black look at the black is daddy though like it's like I can see it yeah I saw what you see the daddy so oh yeah well that's crazy bro okay how you look black though uh-huh like you like you're like one of them like like I see yeah that's why he look like it yes that's what no no today you talk about it not a day that is like whatever how to get this is see how light is like white you why you can see or in a heart inside mm-hmm that's is that yes look at look at you should look up you him with his mom and dad he look almost white though because they got pictures with the sun is all like they don't even think it's that was that blip yeah oh yeah if you see them with the money they can yeah bro that is crazy to me yes if I can find it you can't he came out of the podcast and talk about it like I'm like I'm black I can't click on it yeah he said I'm black yeah he said he said he said he said I'm kidding he said I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding right in the near because he claimed it he didn't do some research I don't know man mail man UPS man who got somebody oh this is bro bro yeah yeah the damn lost their fight oh no I would feel bro they're no black and see my kid you know that's great I you know bro today you know that's crazy this is a what this is a black man that's crazy that wow this day tweets you might be you might have a good point how many white I says do I know I yeah I probably don't know that many of I don't know how many black and heart stands you know he's no he's no now though now the Sacramento slowing down they come in and turn overs so you know those sloppy they don't put it in the bench right yeah I'm like you a round my after run with those guys but that's a n*** he can yeah damn he said he actually said with bargains yeah man I'm black bro I'm not gonna find it that you yeah people don't know it like he's never just a no it's true what's my ticket about it somebody check him about him a lot more he said that once they find out he's like the way that people handshake like everything changes like a whole slide how people talk to him here think yeah he said everything's not a he black yeah wow all this thing makes like true differently when you're feeling bigger right yeah he's a you remember what Jordan Peele did the thing where you know he's a he's a politician yeah she everybody's yeah yeah and he said that that's exactly how it is like everybody shakes his head like a white guy but once they find out he's black it's a real I was a joint P o playing obon I said it for real like in real life I gotta find it now I've seen it yeah but somebody I think he was doing it he was shaking everybody's hand and then he got to play dude and get it out yeah yeah yeah I remember that all right let me hit this super chat we'll get it out of here man um this is a rock we just got a one for Rob who said winby is the future of the league right I know this is a rose yeah you know some crazy stuff but about it now you know um who the hell was I listen to it was a podcast or something something I was listening to was it I think it was wind horse I think it was wind horse and wind horse was talking about when you compare when bees numbers to LeBron numbers right LeBron was better in certain things LeBron scored a little bit more had a little bit more assist but obviously when we got my rebounds blocks you know some other things even steals but LeBron played them there 40 minutes a game when bees doing this like at 24 minutes 26 minutes a game so the level the efficiency and what how when be is playing that should make no sense bro when when be when be is going to set a bar so high I don't know if we're gonna see it like you know LeBron is still setting a bar that a lot of people aren't gonna hit certain things but when be has a chance I don't know if we're gonna see somebody so a 40,000 again I don't think when be placed long enough to do so um but blocks rebound steals when when be can put those records on man yeah and you just have to handle him with care make sure he stays healthy because that's how serious is his health as well as this teammates you got surrounded with some guys that understands that he's the leader that team and he needs the ball but I'm not worried about that you know why because at some point if it's not said that Tony another team is gonna figure it out for right he's too good of a player he's gonna be saying that Tony will be in there to go he could walk all up we know that he's gonna reel at least once but at some point he's gonna be able to walk and if San Antonio doesn't figure it out in terms of the teammates he's gonna go somewhere that is gonna figure out it's gonna spend money it's gonna listen hey go get this guy that guy whatever we see that's the NBA landscape right and I do agree that it is the health aspect of it but really man I really think that he is going to win several championships like I said that I can't say because I don't know who his teammates are gonna be depends on who he's with that all depends on that opportunity I a lot of my people that I talked to basketball stuff I positioned this to them and there was like you know you know me I could sell water to oil sometimes what kind of basketball but I think San Antonio should make a trade for Trey young you said everything that Trey young is weak at when be a racist oh you can't play defensive that cool some of my way bro you know what I'm saying and then now you're talking a pick and roll way out there you can have when be is the ball handler and have Trey young son of a how do you guard that you switch you put a little man on windy like it's of me what that does it when he's gonna get eight points again just off a lob from Trey we saw what John Collins look like with with Trey young and I'm not saying that John Collins is you know can say that can't say that don't you do that over hell yeah yeah it's all over but it's still it's still with it's still with take you know a hero yeah yeah and but I'm saying that's other teams out there that are strong and I'm getting stronger we talk about the okay sees that a young we talk about the Minnesota's and certain other teams you know even once you get past the old guard you got to get past the new guard it's just championships to me dictated not just by a player it's dictated by the team the GM everybody played the coach all these pieces have to be in place this is why I disagree with you know because LeBron went to nine show finals and that was that was predicated solely on the player that's how great he was and I think when beat he's gonna ascend to that level that was that was predicated on the player and the moves that was made around that player once we got to still make the same right you got to make the right moves around that player but he did it with two franchises right so all in both times the correct moves were made to put him in position to do that all I'm saying all in all those runs thank you all I'm saying is when be is gonna be that good enough where he's healthy on your squad the expectation is finals at minimum that's that's all I'm saying because look he's dominant in his rookie his defensive stats are better than Rudy go bears defensive player here right stats I agree with you guys are really gonna get better because we know that in you know my theory of three to five the game slows down the game becomes easier for you then you become more efficient if you're a student of the game in that way and obviously coming in like this he is that so all I'm saying and I don't disagree with you Shelton the teammates thing is gonna be a big factor but I think I trust Antonio to at least make a move or two I trust pop of it still from a coaching perspective even though you know he's older he may have lots of personal touch but if you know we're gonna be going by the game we know Tennessee we might not yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah so all right well we can't do power rankings we have a little bit of a tech issue here with internet so I can do it we're gonna do it I'm gonna do a quick one a power ranking on Dallas offseason signings it's always at the shortest list of all time can you agree that you're gonna struggle next year it's not out of the questions it's not a struggle it's not a it's not a question I can see a struggling just because everything without without a lot of changes and depending on drafting rookies to step me in and feel positions that we need feel like I could see there being a struggle space because McCarthy is not a culture coach he's a coach is excels when I got the right pieces in place he gonna have to coach young dudes up to be those right pieces I don't know if you do it right I'm not sure if that's his day you saw the vante's nifty he gets back to right yeah let me tell you why that significant real quick then we go almost not just significant part of the good part of that the good part but he goes and I was running back the one in the ball I'm gonna say why you can hand it because the running back was MVP run up but you run it how it how I roseman proved again why he's a genius you take care of that first because you got about five receivers in line for extensions at this point you got CD lamb that's looking for money and how much is Smith he got an extra three years he got picked up a 50-hour option so he'll get 15 million this upcoming season then you'll get like 20 million for the next three years after so they have I think he has four years and five years whatever the case he's locked in and he was the first one to lock in which means everybody else is gonna be looking for more money so you got CD you got oh boy same round that's this in line you got waddle you got all these players it's about five receivers that are looking for more money at this point and they don't have to get paid you comfortable paying to receive is that much money yes that's crazy when you got a quarter back they can throw them the ball so I receive one in one eight why would you why would you see that you have two 20 million dollars even locked in a quarter back to 10th of all locked in low this crazy well it's getting ugly for the Warriors 14-1 lead I think no yeah they just missing everything but we're gonna get out of here but didn't this happen last year where they were struggling in the first half and it came out exactly half I kind of just went on this run in one game I think against the Kings or something I can't remember who they were playing against but it wasn't looking good they just came out of one is game so this is far from over of course but is it over spite I'm gonna say that yeah but it's just not looking like so we'll you know we'll see if the Kings get home so we're still gonna keep up this momentum and keep them miss the shots like that so as maybe they've learned from the Lakers that you have to play all 40 minutes or you know you might get sit home I told you it was Murray versus clay Thompson clay got zero points Murray got 14 can't work you that up though not put my money on that clay absolutely absolutely yeah yeah clay I catch up to him but okay you know Murray get to like will he score six more points we'll get to 24 so get the 20 okay and I don't think we'll get the 20 they don't even get to something clay is over four right now for three for three yeah no last shot didn't look good and Chris Paul don't look good so it's gonna be old as hell yeah there's gonna be stuff stuff and I don't know we can move back so to be stuff we can cause yeah maybe and Drake mine is actually where the way I got seven points did you see dream I was the first player to get a double double without attempting a shot like two three nights ago oh that's nice rebound every bounce if this is no no no he had a 12 assist 15 rebounds I could see that play babe no shot attempts that's crazy it played a bad plays back or continues to play back and it's because he came off the bench he had been starting for last he started tonight he started I thought he was a nice started oh okay damn okay well excuse me yeah I think that coming up a bit all right well in part posency yeah all right anyway that's gonna do it for us man we will be back next week we would definitely we should be in the thick of things when it comes to the playoffs we have all this play instead of resolved and settled and then you know we'll we're trying to make some type of predictions before the series start but I don't think we'll be too far in a series you know you drag out the first round yeah you know the first round takes forever yeah and do 40 games 40 nights yeah so that's that's insane anyway man we'll catch you guys next time we got peace peace peace
