This is the place where sports have been in Scalade Dennin Sports, I'm your host, Kenneth Pins. Joining me on the show, we out with Sheldon J. What's happening, what's happening? Spike Luke.

What up, no. And Nick. What's that mean? All right, man, a week of NBA playoffs down.

Yeah. We had one team of fans so far. The sisters. MVP team of fans.

Boston was like the OV that we making their way up. Is MVP playing? Right. Yeah.

And then of course, some big football news happened yesterday, and some big basketball news, of course. We're just going to do like a doing update on where we are in the playoffs, and of course, we got to hit the big football news. Manny said he was coming on the show tonight. I sent them the link.

I'll wait to go to the football then for him, for his sake since I was talking about his jet. I know why he wouldn't come on. I was like, what happened? I was looking to see what happened.

Yeah. I keep forgetting he is from New York, and I always wonder how New Yorkers pick their teams in New York. Because it feels like the real sports fan is the Jets fan, and the Bougie sports fan is a Giants fan. But everybody fucked with the Knicks.

That's true. And no one fucks with like, if you fucking with the Knicks, you're just like, you're a transfer. You're not from New York. If you were the Nets fan.

And that's you're from Jersey. Unless you were from Jersey, it's like, I'm on the crowd. And I'm like, like, he's on the ground. Yeah.

He was just moving to New York. A couple of members, Jaz, Adrian Wells, Les Gold, Lakers, baby, and Tracy G. Worst NBA playoffs ever. Wow.

Tracy G. Tracy, you hate it. You hate it. You hate it.

You hate it. Tracy, you hate it. When the Knicks is winning, Knicks want to say it bad. Orange and Blue skies ain't never bad.

I've seen some pretty good basketball so far. Not all of them. We got about three good series going on. Yeah.

Some of it's been spanked. Yeah. It's been some spectacular play in some cases. Even though it was a sweep, Philly made it interesting.

They had to come back in a couple of games. No, that's the damn show in the series. I'm talking about that. But it was.

I told you the series that we don't need to talk about is Philly. It was. The Denver series, the Boston series now considered Jaylen Brown out here. Got one.

I got one at least. We do. They got to do some about quality. Got two.

The Hawks got one. They going home. I should have had money on that game. I had a feeling it was going that game.

The Hawks might get another. They got damn thing. They got a boss. This is really telling about Boston.

If they can get back and they can like get out of the way to a gentleman suite that's smart on them. They keep on these mocks. They stick around bro. Especially without.

You got suspended for five games for a bump in a row. Which is, wasn't that bad? I didn't even go look. I didn't go look.

I heard it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. It was just egregious. He knew what he was talking about.

He can't do a whole lot of antics with it. So he could have got away with it had he not done too much. Wasn't for those pesky kids. It's key keys.

Wait a minute. What do you want to start, man? We bounced around a little bit. But let's start with everybody.

I've seen these niggas in the chat already talking about him and Thi Butler. Let's talk about this Milwaukee. Miami says, which may be, this is one of the three series I was talking to you about. This is maybe like the changing of the guard in a way.

The Bucks, this is the Bucks kind of last to ride. How's that happen? I see where it going from. The Bucks have to, if the Bucks don't make it pass, if the Bucks don't make a title run this year, when will they make a title run?

Next year. They got to sign your plan? No, I'm saying because Chris Milton's going to want to get paid again. He's got to be a restrictive free agent, I think.

For a global peasant's probably, I think his deal is going to be up. What are you going to do with your highlight? Oh, pieces. It's not like this is young niggas.

This squad is ready to win now, but if they're not winning now, then what are we doing? That's my thing. And I'm only saying that because I didn't expect a person who I've always supported and pray he's been injured in the last couple of games, but I didn't expect him to be down. You know what I'm saying?

To the fucking Miami Heat without Tyler Hero. Are you kidding me? So now I have to ask myself questions. I didn't think I had to ask him something.

And one of them is, or the Bucks last time? One of them is like, shit, if I can say if I'm being critical of Golden State in their window and their time, because they could have been down one three as well, then I got to be critical of my walking. Those are the last two teams I won the title, right? Yeah, yeah, they are.

Because contest, of course, as you already mentioned, Giannis has been hurt. He basically didn't play in game one. Heat won that one. Bucks got hot in game two, managed to win that one.

And then they lost again, and Giannis is back. They lost what I got again. So I think what three games they played with all Giannis pretty much? No, chill out, chill out.

He had a triple double. Giannis actually really did his job. No, he did. No, he did.

What were you asking? What were you asking to do? Win the game. We had all of those secondary stats telling us how good Drew Holliday was all year, and Jimmy Butler dropped 57 on his head.

And I watched that game. I watched that game. I got so many text tweets all day. He's the real MVP.

Hey, talk about it, Lou. And Jimmy Butler, can you play basketball? That's what I'm asking about. Well, you got broke Lopez dropping 30.

You got to win everybody. Everybody. What are we asking Giannis to do? Win the game.

Don't let it lose. Do we not ask the coach? We can ask him to call. We can't tell us.

We can't. How many points does Jimmy need to make? Before I realized he's hot. He's at 20 straight points.

He's at 20 straight points. He's at 20 straight points. And Giannis, all defensive with first team. And Drew Holliday, what people are saying arguably the best defensive player in the league.

What are we doing? Where's the coaching scheme? Let's not act like it's always on the players when the playoffs also reveal who are great coaches. That's why Steve Kerr is looked at as a high regard because of what he's done and won in the playoffs.

So when we talk about these niggas, let's talk about these niggas. So he'll bounce by now. I ain't know nobody else. I just said it.

I just said it. The buzz is the buzz out a little over. How am I bailing them out? At the end of that game, last six minutes of that game, it should have been Giannis against Jimmy.

Giannis should have been like the ball goes to me. I have this ball in my possession every time down. You throw it back from having to be an alpha two game. You won the guard.

Jimi. You want him to compete with somebody who put in the fucking zone. He wasn't in the zone until the... No, he was in the zone the whole day.

He scored 24 straight points. No, I get all that. But I'm talking about late in the third or four quarter. What happened was them others.

I was watching this shit. I was like, oh, they're coasting. They're like this fucking regular season. And everybody else is struggling.

Jimmy's keeping them in the game. All it takes for those role players at home to start hitting the shots. Caleb Martin, three or four. He started hitting the shot.

Somebody else hit the shot. It was missing. It was missing. And honestly, Bambi to step up.

If we want to keep it a four. Bambi hasn't played well. I want to have to ride on him. I'm just saying, but for Jimmy to score 56, it says a lot about the load he's going to have to carry to get this team to even close out this fucking series.

That's what I'm saying. I can't say the chat. I don't expect him to close it out. You think the Bucks are going to win three games straight?

I think so. Because you're talking about a team, we forget that Miami... They're going to be tough to duplicate that performance. They should not have won this game.

We got, like I said, in Crunch Time, and we know what superstars do, they play in Crunch Time. You pace yourself throughout the game to be ready at the end. That's what I expected. You're in the game.

He's in the chat. We're saying, like, Giannis is a monster. We wasn't talking about his back hurt when he was killing him again. He dropped 26 points and 13 assists in 10.

He needed 30. He did it 30. He did it 30. He did it 30.

He's all. What did you holiday need? Because he only had 14 points. I don't remember who he was.

He can't tell the body with Jim. He's going to be like, Lu said. He better get his ass on defense. Why is he always going at Giannis?

Bro, we've seen Giannis do what he had to do, let's not act like Giannis has never done what he had to do. When he came back, when he had a fucked up knee and he dropped 15 and he knocked Chris Paul into some doubt. I'm saying, I need the question. I need the question.

If I got a triple double in nobody. Because who's hot is there to stop people? He is. All right.

Can't triple double. What do we got to do? Win the game. They're up 13.

This team has gotten hot. Nick, I'll give you that. But when they went on that run and started scoring, he should have called a timeout. But at that point, I'll give Giannis this.

He did get an M1 score. He did set up Brook Lopez for Ali U. But they needed him. Kyle, you said it.

Giannis won't let them lose. He said Giannis won't let them lose. And Giannis let them lose. And Kyle was like, you know what I'm wrong?

At this point, you got to read the room. Why was Jimmy doing what he was doing? He was like, he's my fucking name doing shit. So Giannis should have read the room.

He was like, Drew Holiday can't hit a bucket for shit. I could not rely on him. I got to go win this game because we need to win this game. We're going to be down 3-1.

Just came back being out for two games, bro. Nick, we talking about it. You asking him to go against a hot Jimmy after that? I'm just kidding.

He had a trip with double. So why couldn't he have done more? What more do you want though? In the game?

What part? All falls on him? Yes. So nothing, nobody else has any.

No, I can see if mine was coming down. It was like, we know this, right? I want to make it. I'm going to talk about it.

I'm going to talk about it. You know what I'm saying? He didn't come back and match. Jimmy, I had a triple double.

If I'm a superstar, I got a triple double. I walked into the bench. What do you say? I'm doing my job.

What do they need? A triple double. That's what they need. They have a triple double.

I'm early. You take more than triple double. It takes you coming out there and taking the ball. I want to ball in my hands to make these decisions at the end.

That's what he points. He has to... Middleton is that person for him. Like, Middleton is the person supposed to come down to match shots.

Right. That's right. Don't do that because you know, because he's like, no, let's not. We have not as on his platform.

That Chris Middleton is the closer for the Bucks. They have not. That's right. That's right.

That's right. That's right. That's right. Two-time MVP, right?

Middleton is the closer. He's the closer when they won the championship. He's the most dominant for us. If we need a win, who is the closest we can play?

It depends on the night. It really just depends on the night. That's two of the same level superstars. When you talk about Giannis and you talk about Chris Middleton, we know Chris Middleton is the shell of himself.

But Giannis is that guy. Giannis is a skillset though. Giannis is more a dunked-ball off, create my shot, power brute force. Middleton can create his shot.

He can hit him three, third, he can hit him three, third, he can hit him two. I'm expecting him to come down and hit the important shots at the end of the game. And he tried to miss. He was the model.

It was not far. We talked about two-time MVP. Right? We did.

When I talk about LeBron, I get mad at me and say what about this then and third. When we talk about Giannis is like, when you how they is shitball from the field offensively. And he's not doing his job defensively. And then you say Chris Middleton disappears in the fourth quarter.

What Giannis is supposed to do? It's the same thing I just said. He's supposed to match Jimmy. Look at Jimmy's team.

He's actually like performers though. Like we can react. That's not like Jimmy had 48 points. I ain't expecting him.

57 points. He added a bunch of that shit up here. My thing is you ain't got to go 57. You just got to match him at the end.

In the fourth quarter, six minutes left in the game. Four minutes left in the game. You need to be getting fouled every play. Thank you.

That's it. You don't have to match him. Because if you just take the ball and just slow the run down, Jimmy don't get 56. The run is starting to fall apart.

I see what you're saying. I'm putting more impact. So do we think all the bucks done? Is it a wrap?

No. Like I said, it's not because once again I don't think the effort, even though Jimmy played out of his mind, I think that's going to be hard to duplicate. He does not do it. I'm not disrespecting.

I'm not disrespecting. I'm like, I'm like, you expect to tell him he can't win. You're like, hey, move. No, no, no.

I just think it didn't drag a Miami team to the final. You're going to get into it. He took the Rams, you'll make a play all. He took the Broncos, and you're still doubting this nigga.

I'm not down here. No. Then he'll bring one. No.

That's what you better get going through. Who else? I was dying. Wasn't about to say, I was only saying, hey, what else is hitting me?

I'm not doubting Jimmy. I'm doubting the fact that his teammates are not going to be able to help him. There's no way he could drag him along. It went another game.

No. No. No. No.

Did you see Jimmy? He was exhausted. He always exhausted. I don't think that bud and guy is going to make an adjustment.

He's got to make an adjustment. You were kind of him. I'm talking about the disrespect is you're not talking about him being a superstar Oh, yes mitzvah bro, this man just came out here 57 correct correct a must win game Correct put this team up in the red so you're saying adjustments coming from the books out of them to avoid losing one game is a thing they don't need to They were up 13 15 points in that game the bucks they yeah, they controlled the whole game The problem was they were not playing with any sort of desperation. They did not play like they were down to one They played like they were up to one so now y'all think they're gonna play desperate for three games I'm at this point where I'm asking myself do the bucks need to blow it up if they can't beat the heat because if I Because getting 2023 going to 2024 if I can't beat a day he By Jimmy Butler and if he's dropping fitty burgers on me, we're talking about this team is right a couple episodes ago a while back We were like y'all this is the best player name yet as we all said So now we're thinking that he can't come back from a 3-1 deficit against this thing against Jimmy Butler Yes Under He's I'm confident yeah absolutely three straight You say They can be in Miami in game six so you please say so basically what come down to y'all say y'all believe in my These others more than you do me or I believe I believe in Jimmy Butler over y'all Yes, yes over y'all this the best player in the NBA Yeah, everyone yes, you know Honestly, you know I think I took everything LeBron had to come back with a one I got no happening every like and I don't think y'all just do all that I don't think he can't wait a minute hold on.

I'm just so confused on what we watch last night We gotta put on but did we not see them cruising the whole game And y'all just couldn't put him to sleep he couldn't that's why I think y'all did not sleep last night And y'all bad back you know what I was actually with a bad back You ask me to go against a young big who got bone energy They don't come Moving on to another series in the west First of all fuck Harrison Barnes, I'm sorry. I was ready to redeem his ass I was like, right? He had a chance to dock curry in his eye But a game went in three for the team that traded his ass for Katie Proving them right again to do that trade. I don't know man.

Just like you playing the coach with books I think there are possible to have that shot right he was double team First of all, it became the ball of course Well, that's the same course about it. They were saying that they should have called a timeout Yeah, you should just like box go he's been boxes the best clutch player in the league statistically like all statistics say Fourth quarter How much we don't give a fuck about Sacramento or the Kings because we don't know that In the last I Was like on the shot that he missed or whatever she's like he was Oh, you're saying the final event was like no, he was gonna take the shot at that moment. I think so In their sequence somewhere in their sequence somewhere. I don't know either way How likely is it for go to stay to win with folks right?

I said that with last time we met Yeah, I still believe this is where we parked our yeah So to draw you may end up being right. Yeah, but Fox did break Thing that's gonna impact Right, so nice listen to us cuz Nick right what go he's going on cow hair always talk about some in 2015 Sorry And every every year that that happened they want to tie Bro, it's like you're being dominated the whole series by his god The word the words got went on a road for me to be like okay I'm just like show them just y'all reminded me about this yonder's game They was in that game wasn't a two kid and they didn't get the dub so I don't matter to me They have a history of not winning games on the road part of the reason why was Fox was really really good in the fourth quarter When he was helping now, I don't know I gotta see how you shoot with this finger I need you to buy me a flashlight because I'm looking for some bonus Where is the way is this dude? They were telling me is joking junior All year all that is was saying oh man so bonus. He's this good.

He's a best player on the team For some reason his assistant gone and effect all his numbers down I Never said none because that's what's good. They was winning so I was like maybe I'm wrong But oh no, I can't say he's bad I'm what I'll say about him no seriously the likes of bright right now in the fact that this team has never come close in other These players have ever thought about being in the playoffs think about the pressure that's what I'm being in that spot like against the world champions at that That's what's gonna be important in the game. Yeah, even though they at home I'm like this on yeah, it's just like LeBron told Dylan Brooks money You know ready for this moment correct and talk all this shit you want to you go play villain in the media But when the lights come on and I got 20 and 20 you want to run away and can't talk to the media I ain't the name for Sacramento. Yeah, yeah, Fox is ready Right now Mitchell can do it Yeah, so you still say nobody your call hey, I Hate it was Harrison Barnes because I wish that he would do it to Malik Monk Malik Monk was pissed that here tomorrow I shot this because it was the only person close to him was Wiggins But I had to really like commit to get there before you know, he's about a shooting the hair tomorrow way better shooter He's been the most assistant player in the series outside of They should have been a 3-1 I still got the Kings winning But I said 6 but I think it has to go 7 because I don't trust the words on the road That's the best thing that the kids have if the words was the three-seat and all the others rap But the fact that the words still have to keep going on the road It's the bonus has to show up to me is like if this thing don't show up But I want to get shit moving forward about this what he also said the Kings are like a top road team This year, right?

Yeah, they were they have a one-game on the road. They came down close. They all been close games They all experience experience is only difference between I think game five is gonna be I think the Kings of excuse me The Warriors are gonna look at this game as a most important game the series of course both teams to look at that But the Warriors got to championship pedigree I think they're gonna edge them out and then having to go in the role for game six and win it go in the state They're gonna have to fight like that. We'll have to throw your hand is never safe.

It's gonna be hard over I mean like I said they could pick it up with Malik Mon's scoring a little bit, but that's a lot to replace and Question because I'm sorry. No, but that's all I was gonna say with Fox the question for me would be after you see this You see how far you can get with Sacramento. Would you try to leave after this? I wouldn't know he's really calm He's a TV a Sacramento.

Well now this series is this is a fun series that you can teach. Yeah, I will be I was Just somewhere anyway That's a good one you do not remember the Chris Weber Kings, I do Chris Hey, yeah, bro. Yeah, I'm people. That's what I got.

Yeah, it's a lot. I mean we watch fucking Cleveland, bro That's right. They I think it's been 10 years 15 years since they had a prime time like prime game So they have no they're trying to see six for 16 years. That's what they've been bad now.

They're good Let's see if they be consistent can they keep this up well they Improving what they did this next year and that's a great segue We got some else now just gonna say I hope they keep this roster together because like I said they'll load it They got everybody you know you got a huge shoe shoe. Well, he got he confident playing good ball Murray's finally Somebody's gonna pay mark. Yeah, you got mine. You want to try to keep mark College teammates wrong We call it bro saying fucking thing not can you brought up?

Trying to be consistent and try to figure out who's a better team. We got this Memphis LA series going on and the consistency I'm talking about is dealing Brooks And how he's and how he said that the media is making him a bad guy He is making a bad guy soft But also with that like as far as the better team all the Lakers There's two questions I have first one talking about the little buckshid but like all the Lakers really a good team Are they playing are they playing shitty ass ideas playing good? Memphis is the number two seed so they've been that way all year so Sacramento number three see me and you think that the Warriors No, I'm standing by because I think the Kings win too. So what my concern is like I can't ignore this man breaking his finger So that that's concerning but I'm sticking about my pick but it could definitely swing the series But I do not know about the Lakers every time I think about the Lakers.

I think about that old ragged ass team That didn't have players that fit that didn't have talented players that That really didn't know each other. I don't think they even really know each other yet They just really put this team together, but they have talent and we're seeing that the end all rust can play He's inconsistent as fuck but you know Live it up to that NBA go mr. Chance and have their white boy Austin Reeves in the finals the yellow craze They don't care about Right now They're not getting past Phoenix who says because you're only talking about LeBron I can't count on 80 over here giving out nickels and downs. Luckily this Memphis David shit ball So that's why they can get the Lakers played the next round of the way they play the Nice, I don't think I know it But that's the Lakers they got Malik busy, but it's like whenever a team a player that's known for shooting breeze get What LeBron the case you three anymore wait away?

He's supposed to average four game our tomorrow is been playing well It's just like I'm so I'm so scarred by what I've seen in the past that I just can't trust it yet I keep waiting for them to fuck up. Yeah, you're correct because that's what this team does this team And LeBron is consistently doing this to his teammates as days when you may have the greatest game ever But the next game you're not heard from look at 80 had the worst game ever last night. That's the bonfire partially Yes, and he plays it's the coach in the front the way he plays when he's wrong I'm sorry Ron plays well 80 normally does not play with our food. I are really are really are delusional with y'all Superstars.

That's great. That's great. I don't lose knowing out there's a You know, why does why does AD have to excuse me? What does LeBron need to do to make sure AD is a LeBron has the ball in his hands?

AD is a ball to give him the ball if he's not getting the ball in the right position He's not gonna score baskets and AD gets lost in the sauce sometimes Watch it because LeBron has the ball majority of time. It's hands. You do not see when Russell saying we don't just have a We don't really have a point guard. He was saying it basically like I ain't really the fuck I gotta be talking LeBron Because they don't you don't see a position trying to resolve himself a blame But what I don't understand is if AD is supposed to be as good as he is LeBron arguably one of the best players ever How is it on LeBron to try to figure out how to get AD involved versus AD trying to figure out how to get involved because Shots like I don't see him get rebounds.

I don't see him anything correct extra correct He had double digit rebounds last night. Yeah, he had a key You know I watched the game AD was not involved at all like they barely gave him the ball He was missing everything like he had four points coming into the fourth quarter one for nine something from the field He did not look at it all and so but I think AD is the type of player like and she doesn't decide like this before when LeBron was out They were florist because he became the focal point right so LeBron is the type of guy that can play off other people But he also needs the ball in his hands too. So but what they do is typically it's like pick a row It's like I'm gonna you know do a pick a roll number lop the ball of AD and that's how you get his points But typically what they have done or what they were trying to do was they would go to AD early and try to get him A stab at all, but I watched the game this morning It did not look like that at all so I don't know man But AD is a concern because he would go MIA and then he just he became a fucking role player bro He became a role player And I what once again the bronzer head of the snake he's one with the ball in his hand But if you do something role play a role that's on you not he's not accepting it I know I think it was just I don't know I don't know what I'm going with this narrative I'm going with you if you look at my main question is this series is over. We already know that Dilla Brooks ain't shit He was talking shit came back it up unfortunately The Lakers are up 3-1.

Where do we see the Lakers move before like how far is this team? I got the Lakers much if I was the Western Conference Why the NBA 5? They play in the NBA are you saying? The Western Conference is in the NBA Lakers going to the NBA 5?

Why you just talking shit about AD? I was how the hell are you gonna get there? LeBron James No man I am with Dilla Brooks on what he is on LeBron James When he said I poke bears I do you somewhere to go to say Paul's Super Paul I definitely say this I gotta see the match ups but that's that's I don't know They play the game I don't know they have the chemistry up bro They can't run the Sacramento I don't know they have the rotations yet I don't know they have the rotation yet They're gonna be playing the Warriors I'm saying it's the Warriors If they face the Warriors they're gonna lose they face the Sacramento The question I have you got to question my Memphis Oh yeah I have a I have a I have a I have a I have a I have a I heard it I heard it I'm just saying on nowhere part where you going Okay but I heard this from somewhere and it made me start thinking I was upset when I heard it and I was like hold on Maybe there's something to it Should Memphis be looking to shop jaw rest? What?

That's not where I was going but we can have that's that's in the same Like we're in the same lane it's a four lane highway You can't get your return on value Not now right now right now I know what's the value I know about you to leave with it That you don't get it I'm saying what's the value I don't think that you are an available superstar Like you let's you talk about trading trade You're in And I'm still if I'm if I'm if I'm more than just straight young for job Oh, that's what you're talking about Thanks somebody put a package together for job If they want to and you don't necessarily need a superstar return If you pick up if I if I if I try if I was bossing I say You me jog you Jalen Brown and Brodyn Oh, no because what Taylor Tatum and John Moran Yeah, him and Brown already argue about this superstar That's what the whole Mariah is in real But remember to get kicked out ladies If he if he show if he show his nerve going collection The lead is on call his ass He is on his best behavior He can't do he ain't got nothing He ain't got no good grace to be on that Anybody was saying any shit John not a number two He was he like I said number one Let's tell me That's the question I got on his evidence Hey, I got niggas on his squad talking shit They came back it up Jared Jackson is good but ain't shit for real Like what is him what is what is John Moran as a number Right now like he just is number two C If that but they win the games without one He got hurt I see him as a number Oh, y'all were talking about Fox And he hurt too Nah man always hurt Grizzly win games Yeah, but Grizzly win games without They win the Georgia games without without It's not that it's just like has this team reached their peak That's what I'm like And you're the number two seed You came it you've been talking shit Nobody that's the biggest part That's why we don't like them though That's why we don't like them If John had a jot him had a crazy gun Shit and he wasn't hurt We would be talking about them competing like us Drake no, I don't know How many years did he say it? He said a lot of years He said that he says like Why are you stuttering Nick? The only reason we don't take out context of the question The only reason we could send in shopping him Because it just happened earlier And he's hanging right now No, I'm talking about shopping them Because after back to back These are like since it's tenure when they start to really put themselves on a map nobody more than more than they have talked shit And put a target on the back the less they have looked good And you backing it up at least the old grisies with Zach Randolph in them They was in Western Conference Finals I don't think we could say the same about John Moran and them and we think John Moran's probably the best player that Memphis has ever had drafted or otherwise So my thing is this what are we doing with job? I asked to say again I'm trying to be fair because I said the same thing about Zion in New Orleans What the fuck should we look at trade in Zion because he ain't doing shitty that's the number one I'm just saying I'm saying that if we're not if we're not winning with the talent that we have then maybe You bought the first one just really Ever and AD and my superstar hand you heard I was just that again can you know no you said you about to lose the first round to a playing team?

That has three weeks ago in the Lakers was even making the big That has the best player ever on their team who's old and LeBron and AD and my super star Don't even show up and my superstar is hurt. He just got hurt I wouldn't have given John like they can't do no better than John they mean they're I go out on a limb and say they'll never do any better than John and smart they probably want what is John I'm asking what you're doing we can't ask these questions like I'm crazy when I ask these questions. What are you expecting? What is this your three?

No, he's on the second contract. We know he got paid Shonda what am I always consistent on when I get paid niggas questions come up? Yeah, that's what you question them. I would give him another you know just one year Yeah, just for the simple fact that our job is box office and it's bringing attention to Memphis today We bring it to the table right here At that point we need to be talking about Memphis if John wasn't there Okay, who else you putting that position pretty much?

Too many people that that's on his level that would make the excitement for this team So I would keep it for that reason but once again anymore shenanigans then I'd be looking shot It ain't even a shenanigans. Yeah, it's like y'all y'all like like I don't mind keeping him But some other shit gotta go. Oh, yeah, I would let Jackson go before him I would let me go Jackson right in the most is your cornerstone for his just not run Jack just still got people food I would trade him I'm like now we can't do the only thing about John's we can't say this very important He got hurt both years in the playoffs so that hand thing is Bro, I know where I'm signing thing. I live pain go with it.

I didn't want to get on that night The basis of that foundation the whole Organization is job like there's no way that they should be moving away from John like they should be trying to figure out how to make Another reason why I mentioned this is not really I'm not saying trade job now. I'm just saying that at this point We need to evaluate the Memphis Yeah, I'm cool. That's all of them. Yeah, like who did not and I'm also hearing like for reports like this that organization is run by the place That's why I like who she is going on like them trying to fight you in the start on the sidelines like Get Dylan Brooks out of there get bane out of there possibly I would bring more people in I feel like play better with y'all But I never would think about getting rid of job.

I don't know you should never never say that bro Never think about getting rid of job. Hey one of a few super stars really You can always get a super Commercial in the middle of the game they read they talked about his shoe I've seen them do that's joy I said joy what a pet letter that is and they talk broke into the magic game They're like look at these shoes. They got the pet letter. I've never seen them talk about a player's shoes in a game elevator It's like a job first of all I saw a new bounce commercial as soon as cool as soon as he's not Announces we're reading it was the announcement during the game Nike gave them this I read this I Do not Is ascending to be one of the best top players in the league speaking of top players in the league moving on to the Phoenix and Clipper series I had a super chat for you.

I'm not a super chat where they are super chats But I got a member's question. I want to read about this before you get into your shit That is from Wu young that Kawhi Braden and Katie takes age like milk. Kawhi is the real street clothes How was the age of like I'm just reading what he said? I'm saying that to him.

I know but you said you said quite a bit of Katie I didn't say quite a bit of me. I said it's not I said Kawhi and Katie are closing the remote for the state Mmm like it's not like Hades all above and beyond above Kawhi. So anyway, what you got? That's a horrible segue for me to say that Kawhi is out He's been out.

I want to believe it's better than you. Hey, who would he end the game though? He's there. I got highlights of him in the series taking No Oh my god, I stay corrected.

I'm sorry. I apologize. I apologize Don't get him table or JB JB got this Wanted to portray I think he's improving three points shooting because he think he's definitely anyway go ahead Yeah, let's get the man gonna come at the last time. He's gonna see you If I can't depend on why I love to be healthy man at this point in time Especially when you're teasing me you come out the first game and hit 38 you you hoping on KD and then you can't play for the next three games Like what are we doing bro?

Like I'll play overseas or somebody This ain't the NBA don't do that Keep on saying Because his teammate was like man, I don't know what's up with over real I'm not really sure what's right. Well, how messed up he was I'll only point five seconds left. This should be game. Yeah, they came out of that And I know I didn't know the team was the one that did it, bro I dropped some anonymous shit.

They was like I'm not sure how hard he is or questioning his availability I know Stephen A Smith is always they probably gonna try a lot of the Rob Williams But Stephen A Smith is always said like this shit is like his it's real for real for real when I used to listen for a steak I think I've heard other people say no like it's legit like real reporters that as Greg and for Lou to come out and say that I think when I read what he said I was really kind of long the lines of unique like I don't think he got much longer Love I think my last contract like he may retire after you follow they call it. Well, look at Trey Still playing this watch a some table. We look at playing This why I say to them not to do it was point five second I need I'm talking about that shot. I'm talking about like y'all was just talking about we young I need my team to go home rest go down for one instead.

I gotta play another game against There's a guy like why did they lose And Jason's I'm supposed to take him in close game up The best player right that's what they say like skin is the one You know 19 points Jaylen Brown had 35 y'all niggas was bro Where's people out when y'all was scoffing at me? I said Jaylen Brown is better than that nigga And every every game I see it shit like bro, and all the analysis now saying the shit Wait till we get to this next time Brown got more like oh got more heart. They seem like the type I don't know if it just look out of the court or what not take them skills Maybe up there with him with Brown. I would take Brown every day cuz Brown look like I'm gonna give you 150 I'm gonna check this dude on defense, and I'm gonna give you 30 take them just sometimes I was lots I can give you 19.

Well, I need to see the fourth quarter cuz the brown was doing all that while didn't even Let's get back finish. All right, so everybody bring it on up to you, right? Oh Give me a fall George. I get really I'm keeping I think Westburg is good with Tyler.

He's dropping 30 plus like I like he back it over for a good But anybody but the wrong over here. I'm saying I'm not saying for like a long duration Yeah, I mean yeah, I think show comes in the best I think it just was a bad fit, but you get him away from that like he's able to kind of do more plus go I was not on the court so it's just him this is he loves this it's just me and everybody else in the court y'all You know, and this is a scrappy up the Clippers just had Paul George, bro They're going to the Western Conference finals play off. He and that's the time This is the last time I'm I'm morning right now, bro. We'll talk about it if they win the series.

They're not winning the series. They're down I Know what we could talk about next week, but it's just like it's so look soon as I saw he was off a game free We know it was a wrap for play when I heard these right now, and then it's just a lock up Yeah, but um, yeah, it's funny how quickly that thing changed because they honestly, you know probably could have been swell West with them block that shot, but you know, that's one game. You still don't know how to three and four We'll play out don't say that cuz you know what you want to say go ahead say there was about to get swept But what you know, I'm saying what's just saying? This is the best West where it is played all season.

I'm just saying that I wait I want the series to be over for I come with my takes because Playouts are weird. Well, let's get to the best series that's playing right now That's the third series that I was talking about said when I say there's three secret series I the best series going on right now, and I ain't talking about Atlanta Boston even though That's interesting now which we'll get to that I ain't talking about Brooklyn Philly because they done I damn sure my Memphis Minnesota Denver Cleveland, New York The best series going on right now, New York's back So I woke up this weekend. I saw number one blue skies I Was wrong I Don't I They were terrified he played well down the stretch and that's when you see production drops from certain players and it rises from your stars That's how I suppose to go that's true every moment is not a star yet That's just like some bonus of some of these other guys Yeah, it drops off and when you're talking about the biggest stage in basketball Yeah, that's a square guard. You can't expect there's going to give you 30 don't 50 You can't expect every moment you know all you expect is done of a mission to come out at least you 30 points He signed up for that.

That's what he did for That enough for Brunson and Randall and heart and all of them The play so it was really breasted in RJ is brought to me and if we're and this is going back to a thing I said at draft night. I said RJ bear is gonna be the one that shines the brightest out of these three and if we get to and if we get out of this round He's made it further. It's not as far as I'm rent right and then he's going to these That's cool, but nobody thinks about you very well. I just barely seen back.

No, I don't know that I Show RJ bear because I think he's a fine player, but Bronson how dangerous are the Knicks once they get deeper to the play I don't scare me in this because we can't rely on other we can't rely on Randall to be with He's in the case out again. This can sell you gonna need to first wrong jitters a lot There's a lot of young players on the same quickly quickly hasn't look good. Um RJ started clicking just now There's like it's like a lot of niggas. They really just like oh, yeah Grimes grimes hasn't played well Like a lot of these niggas like even on the calf team like all the young niggas that we talked about like this is a whole new shit Like especially my sister ABC Madison's work or like this is everybody's watching that game.

Did this make playoffs last year? No, they did not What's the difference is your The mouses make well That's the best contracting I came back and I was I look y'all this thing is getting paid as much as power library in Miami right now the same Because you thought they were multiple thought that we everybody should be surprised at how will he's playing because No, no, no, he's got two titles and That was out of nowhere too. That came out of nowhere last year remember. He's got two times in Villanova, bro He was gonna Patrick Nobody's through what he's doing now.

No nobody thought it was a scrub But once again, he came off the vision Dallas toward till the end and he started picking it up people are some way yeah He blocks them really later, but still I didn't think we're gonna make this kinda anything I didn't expect him to go there and drag this guy here's gonna be this good But I don't know if he wasn't lifting just based off last year in the playoffs or just overall Oh, I thought he would take the next to another I thought they would need another piece I didn't think that him and Randall would be good enough to make it to each of the conversations was potentially in play, but I did think that he would be something new and turn the curb in New York. I feel like if you kept playing like you did on the playoffs, you could have a team. If he takes the Knicks to the East of Colorado's, if he won the first players to take the team from the West of Colorado's one year in the East of Colorado, his profile about to shoot up. You know, they played the Heat and go to the East of Colorado.

You're talking about like from like what you're saying, overachieve or to NBA superstar. Yeah, especially playing in New York. It's by the way, the game that Cleveland did when Derrick's growing up did put up 30. You know, can't do it in New York.

And Donald Mitchell got 17 just one point. Who in the guard? He has 17 to 13 assists. And uh, uh, Don Mitchell also had 11 points in the garden.

And Derrick's growing up had 23. He got a niggas get locked up. So you shouldn't know Derrick's growing up, but he seemed like he might be playing better than the D. Mitch.

I don't do that. I was wrong. But uh, I was wrong. Uh, remember Chad, press the order score T.

Uh, game on the line, Dylan Brooks, you lie up. What? What do you say? Game on the line?

The game on the line. You want Dylan Brooks, you lie up. I hate this question. Yeah.

He liable. I'm a Dylan Brooks. You know I'm picking Dylan Brooks too. Wait, wait, what did Dylan Brooks do to college?

Oregon. I think you played Oregon. They said something about Coach K. I thought he was like, Coach K.

Yeah, Coach K put him to the side after the game went that way. I like him in Oregon. They said he was too talented. We make sure he was pulling off.

Coach K. That's what he was saying. You had to like a nigga with you. You could be your duke if you whacked it like a nigga.

Yeah, like a black bar. Coach K told him that basically you need to be more like Randy. Damn, he's Canadian. He's a pope bears.

He got bears. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man.

I'm a man. I'm a man. He got a lot of Drake energy. A lot of things makes a lot of sense.

I'm sorry Rob. He's talking in T-shirts after the press. I mean, it's like he had his wife be tucked into his jeans with glasses and a chain up. Yeah, he went to Oregon.

So he got on Ontario. Wow. Wow. It all makes sense.

It makes sense. It makes sense why he's not talking to the media. He said I'm out. He said I'm out.

Hey Rob, you need to have conversation with your boy man because it's not looking good. He's not Canadian royalty. He's definitely Canadian royalty. So I don't know if I know what it's going to be.

Rob, you got to deal with the rest post on this one. He definitely got to deal with the shades and then black wife be the touch of his jeans. That's it for basketball. Before we get to the Super Chat, I did want to touch on obviously the biggest trade in NFL news right now.

For those of you who've been anticipating this, Air Rogers is officially a New York jet. The trade just went through at least 72 hours before the draft happened. It's a big deal. I'm a man.

I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man.

I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man.

I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man.

I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man.

It's called man. I can tell you that I tell you that I'd settle for it. It is a man. I'm a man.

I was going to let you fix it up. I'm a man. I was going to write it out to nothing at this point. It's my pee first year.

I'm going to put that atom in the ft Mojave for him. I'm going to drive thishhImack probably. It was a man who thought he was wrong. Very rarely a woman.

some air rod you ship. Oh, overall thoughts is this a fair trade? I think it's part of the fair straight. You can get if you ask me, what do you mean by fair?

Both sides you walk away with like, probably could have got more or I probably could have got less but I'm happy with what I've got at least. I think the Packers are in the best position to build around Jordan Love if they really agree. Yeah, it don't work out. The only thing they got to do is eat the cap money right now from this trade from Rogers like 40 males, they can't do shit this year and it wasn't a lot of shit this year anyway, which means they don't have another high draft pick next year, which means that the draft they have this year could be for offensive lineman to invest for whatever next year.

And with the Jets, they went down well anyway, Breez Hall coming back off of injury arguably rookie of the year. If you didn't get hurt, even though you got a young offensive line, you still got young weapons here. We'll see what's gonna be a month ago. What's gonna do that with Joe Flacco and Zach Wilson?

What is he gonna do with Aaron Rodgers? That's what they're saying. They say get it. Aaron Rodgers guys.

Adam is our what? You're what's gonna be the next about the Adams is is Aaron Rodgers is gonna go to try to count and like work with his word is he's going in early he's going to be in the building was going five minutes before they start right. A week before it's early. So he was supposed to take place in the workouts.

So Aaron Rodgers isn't worth the first round pick straight up. And what I mean about it is they swap for his round picks. Yeah. And got their Rodgers.

That's I thought the same thing. That's what I was thinking. But there's supposed to be a conditional another first round like 65% of the year. He has 65% of the snaps in the second turn.

It's like two first round picks but one of them can turn into a first. So they're all in they were asking for a conversation if he retired early or something like there was some of the problems they're supposed to put in there but they ended up not getting it. And there's also the caveat of like Aaron Rodgers said he only wanted to go to the Jets. So like there's not much you can get from that.

What's the thing I said I want to go here. He told me they had one place he was going and they gave him three different packages to choose from. They didn't like none of them. That's why I took so long off the table.

Who didn't like me? No, the Packers gave the Jets three different jets. They didn't like none of those. So they went back to the board again this time and that's when they came up.

There's no draft coming up. So people got pressure. They didn't know what they doing. What are they drafting that?

I was just desperate as a just man. I'll be upset. What do you mean? You're desperate.

But I haven't had a consistent quarterbacks since this is Broadway Joe. You're telling me that a quarterback to win what eight nine last year? I'm telling you the quarterback that. I'll go to the court back that race top three and statistically over the last three how about you go you go to sleep at night knowing that you're about that was bring your eyes and what's the best case in area best case in order to win the division.

That's it. I didn't say that's the right. I just want to know is that like for you what's the best scenario? They're not being patty.

They being the back coach. You think the AFC championship? They could. Yeah.

Yeah. A lot of people say this thing can make it to the Super Bowl. They could do a lot of things. I'd say best case scenario for me is they win the division because they're not being patty or Joe Burl.

I agree. I'm sorry. They're wrote a suit up out there. It's a hard like let's give it a beat about the AFC.

It ain't a easy it's not NFC easy. Like you got the best quarterbacks in the fucking league in every division every every team. Why would I spend 60 million on the old quarterback because you need to do something you haven't once his Broadway Joe. Well you have you have a you can't draft a shit.

You got a great defense. You got stars mixed in on offense that are coming up young people all around. You put a quarterback in it and get the ball. You saw what they could do without a quarterback.

They didn't have me you could play quarterback this past year. They were still okay. They put a quarterback in there which this was the best one on the market. I mean he's he's actually competing against any of these guys.

He can compete against your girl. Maybe maybe maybe maybe based on last year. I wouldn't say that he can he still okay based on last year. This is a lot of removal.

Would you agree? Like the package and the Jets roster. This is not no no no no no. Yeah.

The carolusses way better. They're picking the Packers and win the Super Bowl last year. No they were. They were doing off at the season with Jones and running back in the defense at the top of Aaron Rodgers not off at the roster.

I would never say that we're nothing because I say y'all I was a group of people out there. It was naturally regarded that the Packers were a good team last year and they were supposed to go to the Super Bowl off of Aaron Rodgers. It was not based off the roster. Yeah.

Okay. The Rodgers went out and had the worst season of his career last year and I'm supposed to expect the Jets to go to the Super Bowl. I didn't say that. We talked about his number one receiver was Alan Lazar.

That's on him. He should have been there and training them boys to come up like I mean they were dropping and he was dropping touch that I guess my only point is I don't understand the high expectations that the Jets would have in bringing aroges in. You said earlier it's a what have you done for me lately. Last year, aroges wasn't good.

He had the same team in Green Bay that he's gonna have in New York this year. So why would I expect him to go in and win a division? Why would I expect him to go in and go to the NFL? I would tell you right now.

That's what the one this year and I don't think that this team that he's going to with the Packers. I don't think that they're better than the Packers last year. I don't think the Jets this year. It's the same team.

No, the defense was supposed to be a good running back. No, and Rogers supposed to get them over. Green Bay had a middle of the pack towards the end of the pack defense. No, not going to the end of the year.

They did going into the last year. They defense was supposed to be good. Absolutely. They defense was good last year.

No, no, it's not not as compared to this just because in Green Bay, I don't know for a fact, you can't find sauce. So it's all sauce is only in New York City when we talk about what it is what it is. They got Gary Wilson sauce and Breeze. And why is it gonna let y'all down this year?

I'm not I have no stock in the eight and nine. What is it? Do it 17? Eight and nine.

I'm a ten plus games. No, I'm with you. They have to. And the reason why I'm not a real one.

Wow. And I'm just gonna say I quit next year. He's not gonna quit. So he's older.

All this money. Yeah. I get 60 million for playing next year. If I do good or I can go to the Super Bowl, or I can do terrible, I can just walk away.
