Some crazy squabbles last night basketball man. Well, let's get straight to it, man We got show some love in the nhl man The hyke fans say we need to tap in man one time for the florida panthers man with the repeat Against the admitt oilers man wrote a clip yesterday man Shout out to them boys celebrating back to back championships. I'll rock with it Fire one put belt to ass It was cracking down there

They're gonna three feet two, okay That's hard that's crazy you go to a ice hockey rink in Florida You see that stadium packed boys is tapped in So that mean they gonna basically go out to the club. Like you just played this cold sport, but you back out to the club in Florida with your shirt off. Yeah, sure. First time, about to burn up. Open the doors and live.

Yeah, that's hard. Yeah, once we get off this license up for sure, man. Hey, salute to them, man. Winning once is hard. Back to back is definitely hard. I wanna answer this question. Y'all think, yeah, it's crazy. Y'all think, yeah it's crazy. Y'all think we'll have any repeat champions

in the NBA anytime soon? That's the best time back to back. That's second league, we got a different win right there. They get a rain break. That back here, we thought the Celtics would repeat this year. Do you think we'll have any repeat champions in the NBA anytime soon with the way the league is set up?

No. Yeah, it's looking spooky for that, bro. I think back to back, three peak days is over, bro. Y'all think so? No back to back champions no more? Not for a while, bro. Not the way the league is right now, bro. Yeah, we look at this, obviously it's already just started,

but boys is crashing out and we ain't even got to draft yet. Cause I knew for sure the Celtics was going back to back this year. Yeah. Everybody talked this year up and said, yeah, Celtics healthy, it's built to ass. That was not the case. At all.

That's true, that's true. I ain't mad at that. I was trying to think of a team that really could do it. But y'all right, the league is wide open right now. Yeah. Most definitely, man. Shouts to the Florida Panthers, man. Back to back, Chancellor Man, salute to y'all for sure.

All right, man, we here. We won't be in studio tomorrow, so we gotta talk about it now, man. Game six, do or die for the Pacers at the crib, first OKC. How we feeling, man? Die. No, I'm just playing, man.

I think the Pacers gonna get this one. Okay. I mean, is Tyrese hurt or what is he doing? The report came out said he has a calf strain. They haven't said which grade of it, but I am expecting Tyrese to play tomorrow. Like we said, no ifs ands or buts, bro. If you're on that court, you gotta get to it.

No injury excuse. But if he can't walk, bro, sit down. I don't think he gonna play. He don't play, then we cooked. I think y'all gonna actually win with him not playing. But I don't think he should play, though. Because that's how this is just getting me. I'm knocking on wood,

I don't want anything bad happening to him. But this is the same thing that happened to Kevin Durant. You know what I mean? He tried to force the issue playing with that calf strain and he popped that Achilles. So, you know that's how I usually start, that calf strain and work your way down. Yeah, that's what a lot of people say.

They was like, if it was great, two and above, then he shouldn't play it, that was like too much. I mean, even though it's the NBA finals, it ain't worth it because you know what it could lead to. It's a great one, you know what I'm saying? Go ahead and take that shot and lace up. It is the NBA finals, it's too much. I mean, even though it's the NBA finals, it ain't worth it, because you know what it could lead to. It's a great one. You know what I'm saying? Go ahead and take that shot and lace up. It is the NBA finals.

It is game six. If there's any time you should jeopardize it, it's now. But to be realistic, it ain't that deep, bro. It ain't at all, bro. It ain't that deep, bro. Yeah, bro. But he probably thinking like, man, we might not be here next year.

They won't. They probably won't, but I want to be cool, bro. Like, KD league exploded, bro. I don't want to be here next year. They won't. They probably won't. We won't. But I wanna be cool, bro. Like KD league exploded, bro. I don't wanna be here. Man, KD bounced back though, bro. I don't know. For Ty Reese, I just think, man, he don't want a chance to, I think he wanna play.

I don't think he ducking no smoke. I think he gonna give it a shot if it ain't that crazy. But I mean, y'all right, but I'm like, damn, this is a hell of a moment for them. Yeah, but ain't nobody gonna even be sad if they don't give it a shot if it ain't that crazy. But I mean, y'all right, but I'm like, damn, this is a hell of a moment for them. Yeah, but ain't nobody gonna even be sad if they don't win. The city's still gonna be like, damn, we had a hell of a run. But yeah, I don't even think he care about that.

I'm just talking about from him personally, but he wanna win a championship. If he win a championship, like. Now this is major. Now if you can play, you gotta push through. Definitely. For sure. But if you can't play, you can't play, bro. I mean, I feel him, but. Yeah, I wouldn't feel in no ways, if it was sure. If you can't play, you can't play, bro. I mean, I feel him, but.

Yeah, I wouldn't feel in no ways if he was too bad and he couldn't play, you're injured, bro. But like you said, if you're on that court, you gotta whoop. I tell you what, you say that, but the Pacer to just point, the fans, oh, they gonna go in on him. Oh, the new Facebook Pacer fans, they're going to slander him.

They gonna call him all out. They already started. Oh, it's tough. Yeah, it's tough. He are hurt last game and he hurt us more than helped us so if you can't play just don't play bro you gonna be like that yeah man it's gonna be a hell of a game a lot of people think that our bench can play good enough for this game sick with or without Tyrese against the game 7 under I am hopeful I am praying so but what I seen from that OKC team, granted they were an OKC,

look we got our work cut out man. But like I said, adversity. First time when our back gets the wall, elimination game, we have not seen that all play out series, I would love to see how we bounce back. We gotta give up a good fight. I mean if we lose, cool. We gotta rock.

Gotta fight. If Tyrese don't play, Ben gotta rock. Yeah, y'all gotta let him rock out bro. Yeah, TJ Nash is gonna be playing 34 minutes. I don't like that. Get your rest. I don't like that, bro. I hate it.

I like him coming off the bench as a spark, but him being the lead guard for 40 minutes, bro. I don't think he's still gonna start, even if Tyrese gonna play, he not gonna start the game. They gonna put Nymar at the one. Okay. That'd be better. They gonna have Nese Smith and probably like Mathern. Tiz used to do stuff like that.

Yeah, he's still gonna play his same role. He probably gonna play more, but he gonna still come off the bench. Yeah, most definitely. All right, for the pace of the win, we gotta have a big game. I'll start with you, T. I'm gonna go with Benedict Mathern.

I think Tyrese, if he plays, I don't think he's gonna be great. Cause you're gonna be second guessing it a little bit. Just naturally, like shit, if I step too hard right there, gonna be great, cause you're gonna be second guessing it a little bit, just naturally. Like shit, if I step too hard right there, that muck might pull for a grade two, you know what I mean? So I don't think he gonna be that super aggressive. I think he gonna be able to be on the floor

and make some threes, but I think like Benedict Mathur has to play well and Neem Hart and TJ Nash. They gotta have a moment. Is he still, you know what I'm saying, despite the injury, still good enough to be somewhat of a decoy? Not really, because after I show you how this video, no. All right, for sure.

All right, Mo, for a place to get it done, man, who got to show up? Man, we need Miles Turner to wake up, bro. Of course we need Pascal to do his thing. But I really think Ben and the Matherns gonna have to step up, bro. If we go out there and get us 25 tonight, we be in good shape.

RKU, R-I-B-H-N for OKC, the closest out the crib, man. What they gotta do? Man, y'all. Well, for OKC, we just gotta play like we did last game. But for y'all to win, I think y'all gotta stop fouling so much, bro. For sure. Y'all gotta slow down on them fast. They take advantage of y'all once y'all get in foul trouble. They pick on y'all gotta stop fouling so much, bro. For sure. Y'all gotta slow down on them fast.

They take advantage of y'all once y'all get in foul trouble. They pick on y'all. Now I was gonna say, against who now? Cause SGA, he gonna get them calls regardless. I know we can do it. I mean, shit, y'all was fouling Jaylen too. He was going to the Straddy Strike. They shot some free throws in that game.

So I just, I don't know. We gotta change up that defensive game point too. See, Icom got to look like one of them ones. He gotta look like Kawhi tonight. You know what, I think he's capable. I think that Kawhi is, I mean, excuse me, Kawhi. Siakam is definitely capable of getting those game six. He can kill, but the role players have to help him, bro.

I mean, yeah, Tyrese is out. You know what I'm saying? They gonna have to do something. But I mean, that's y'all asking a lot too. Y'all know Nimhart wanna to play like a yo from and one So well, it's volume for We need you right now brother For sure. All right, man, it's super chat for a second agent Morella said morning

Y'all are we ever gonna get an awkward pile of y'all sneaker collection. That would be dope Maybe one day that'd be cool. I ain't mad at it. T, you go with the closet one day? No. Whoop, that's dead. All right, Jay in the Super Chat says, sick of them hen bulldakers hating on Cece, fever did the crash out on the table. I swear to God, bro.

They are the worst, man. Shout out to Cece, man. They was hoing her yesterday, and I didn't like that. And the fever, y'all out of pocket, bro. Where her teammate's at, why she always in the out of pocket, bro. Where her teammates at? Why she always in the mix by herself, bro? Yeah. Because she talked the most shit.

Game seven on the way for sure. But can I teach y'all something about the game? Cause I'm a basketball nerd. And for the longest I've been saying,

Tyrese Halliburton doesn't go left. I said it against the Cleveland Cavaliers. I even made a call to the Cavs and was like, man y'all don't realize he don't ever go to the left side of the court or he never go to the left. And a bunch of people sent this to me today. And they were just like, T, you been saying this from series one, series two.

And you will look at his shot attempts in this finals. He never go to the left side of the court. Ain't no bobs over there, bro. Ain't nothing over there. Ain't no bobs left hand side, bro. You never the left side of the court. Ain't no vibes over there, bro. Ain't nothing over there. Ain't no vibes on the left hand side, bro. You never see a left hand layup. Nah, a lot of buckets over here. Shout out to the head of the nation.

That is amazing that like all the analytics and all the people they have that study the game, they still haven't realized that all you gotta do is force them to the left. That's not what they trying to, bro. He just getting his shit off. No, I'm not saying he not good, but I told you I studied him and I studied Chris Paul.

And Chris Paul and him are very similar. So when I was watching the Cleveland series, I'm like, hey man, y'all need to play them how we played Chris Paul. I did all my film studies on Chris Paul when he was in the finals, and I know he never shoots left hand layups. He only shoots threes going left,

and it's when you bag up and go under a bunch of times, and he get that one little pound dribble, he'll shoot a third. He never shoot mid range going left. Everything he do is a right hand fade when he get to his middy. He never going all the way to the basket with his left hand. And I was like, man, he got same similarities as Chris Paul.

They pass way better going right, because they can get downhill and make that skip pass or whatever. They don't pass really well with their left hand. And I'm like, damn, he reminds me of Chris Paul. And I ain't gonna lie, I called one of the coaches from the Cavs, and I was like, look, this is how y'all can beat him.

And then I watched him switch every pick and roll and let him get to his right hand. I'm like, I was like, what are y'all not hearing me? Do y'all not understand? No weapons for him to get such a problem. Literally, and then look at all his shots on the left side of the floor. That's where they jump him too on that left hand side.

It's all bricks. Yeah, they was jumping him over there. It's amazing. That's crazy though to see that. That guy obviously side. It's all bricks. Like, they was jumping him over there. It's amazing. That's crazy though to see that. But I've been. They literally told me that about Chris Paul Marguer. So I swear to God he doesn't use his left hand at all. Ever.

And he really don't. He don't. And you know what's funny? He's a Hall of Famer. He's one of the best, but he know how to, he's so good. Like he's really good at getting back to his right hand. Yeah. Like you can't stop him.

Monta Ellis was like that. He never used his left hand. He used to come off the pit. With his right hand. On the left side with his right hand. Like you can't stop it, Monte Ellis was like that. He never used his left hand. He used to come off the pit with his right hand. On the left side with his right hand. That's how my then Keaton Aldridge was. It was the same way. He never went left. Hey, how we go from Monte Ellis to Keaton Aldridge?

I'm just saying to see something like that. But that just tell you how good they are at deceptive and then like be able to use their ability to get to where they wanna go. Well, why not just learn how to use your other hand a little bit? They do! I mean they use it good enough where you can bait you to get back to their strong hand. I have not ever seen him shoot a left hand like that. Oh you never will. Put it over here for an in and out and get back to it. Yeah that's what they do. If you try to left it's going to be a meltdown. If Chris Paul he gets you one of these he right back to it.

Every time. But how you break it down, I never thought about it like that until I realized, like damn, that really does happen. You know what's funny too, remember your before last, there was something about Jalen Brown not having a left hand and got the biggest deal in history. Hey, it's good like that, you make it work. Before that left hand is overrated.

Yeah, it is. Talk about it. Because if you that good and nobody can stop you from getting back to your right hand, that's amazing. But I know what they do. He used to hate on. He don't even have one to use. Who I hate on? My boy. And nobody can stop you from getting back to your right and that's amazing, but I know what they do He don't even have one to use. Well, I don't my boy He got the coldest in and out ever. Ay on me bro. That in and out's vicious nigga. Ay he is a man. If he had two hands bro he would be an NBA all star.

NBA all star. But he doesn't. So you can't go left, I'm not letting you go right. Two of the best point guards in the league. Don't even use it. Y'all just saying they deceptive. They don't left for a little bit. He don't have no left at all bro.

I'm forcing you left. You can't do nothing bro. Ay you know what's funny? Way our kids go arguing, well they don't have no left at all, bro. I'm forcing you left. You can't do nothing, bro. You know what's funny? When our kids go argue, well, they don't have a left. But the thing is they can go left. They just, like we know Chris Paul and Tyrese Halliburton can go left. But they're really good going right.

And y'all still let them get back to their best hand. Y'all let them use what they do really well. But I know how they get back to it. I mean, they'll go off the screen, flip the screen, get right back to your best hand. Y'all let them use what they do really well. But I know how they get back to it. I mean, they'd go off the screen, flip the screen, get right back to your right hand. I mean, that's what Chris did. I'm gonna go off here, come back to it again. I'm gonna get back to my right hand.

And now we in trouble. Paces is pissed right now. Y'all gonna show this on that platform? No, it was just amazing. We trying to win a finalist. Hey listen. He making calls. Now that's crazy. I didn't know about that shit. I to win a finalist. Hey listen. He making calls. Now that's crazy.

I didn't know about that shit. I did make a call. That is nuts. I did make a call. The fix is eating. I did make a call. My cleaver head would have been times 10 if I didn't know that.

I wasn't hating, but I was just like watching. Cause y'all know they my friends for real. I don't know nobody on the Pacers. I don't know nobody on the Pacers staff, but all them coaches on Cleveland, them really my guys. So I'm like, man, am I missing something? Man, if Tyrese would have got trapped

off them ball screens for that, man, they'd have been like, yeah, you know what I'm saying, this is our game plan, and to hear that from you, I would have been pissed. I'm happy with what you did. T killed Ty Jerome. Nah, I told y'all. Ty Jerome, let it get back to where he was in trouble.

He got wicked for sure. All right, man, in the Super Chat for a second, Donald Gossett said, T, how you did the career career? How you did the career career for D-Way versus Clay for wrestling who had the better career, Sting or Booker T? Okay.

Booker T had a better career. Sting had the longevity, he more probably more iconic, but Booker T had a better career because he went to WWE when he left WCW. Sting stayed over there too long, then he had to go to them other wrestling stops that we ain't gonna mention right now. They weren't really hitting on that. Yeah, for sure.

Shout out to Booker T, shout out to Sting. 414 Russ said, if you could swap one moment from each of your NBA careers, good or bad, what would it be and why? Excuse me, could it be a game, a trade, teammate or even a play you wish went differently? What you wish, go ahead B. You could swap one moment. From your NBA career. Oh, let me go back to the early 90s.

Give me, swap Kevin Johnson and Gary Payne. I need another dog. You with Charles Barkley? Yeah. Hey, Charles Barkley and Gary Payne would have been crazy in the same team. Double fist fights. A lot of fights, bro. The only two in bed players here,

y'all wanna answer that? If I could swap one moment for each of you, if I could swap a moment, shit, LeBron would have got traded somewhere else and we could have went to the championship. I don't know. He would have stayed in Miami. I don't know.

Went to the Lakers earlier. So, all right, 404 World, shout out to you. And then Monday D96 said, need the Pacers to get active like Big Sophie and the rest of the fever. Uh, yeah, man, Pacers, we got a Dame Johnson. Ain't nobody talking to Tyrese no more. After that Yon situation, we secure that for sure.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche we embrace as core.
