Starting point is 00:02:23 Good morning. Happy Wednesday. It's 520 in the morning. Your favorite sports show here to keep you up to date on everything in the sports world related, especially basketball. I'm your host. I'm Michael Jordan's son. To my left, I got my brother, Bishop Hendricks. To my right, I got my brother, T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What's happening, bro? You on your own? Yeah. Free little cuz, though. Oh, he out now. Never mind. He out. Ain't nothing but a little coat. Yeah You out. Ain't nothing but a little coke.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Yeah, man. Ain't nothing but a little. Hey, man, that interview. We'll talk about that for the podcast, man. But, hey, them putting the band, Mark Jordan t-shirts out for the ones, they got to do it, bro. Trophy room will make it happen for sure.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Stay off the tracks. Stay off the tracks for sure, man. Listen, before we get into yesterday's scores, man, it's about that time, man. Trade deadline goes officially off tomorrow, so we got into yesterday's scores, man, it's about that time, man. Trade deadline goes officially off tomorrow, so we got a lot of people scrambling to the end.
Starting point is 00:03:09 First off, this is going to see how y'all feel about some stuff, man. It's looking like Brad Bill might stay put. Y'all think he's going to be a son after tomorrow? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:16 That's how it would. Nobody getting traded no more, so. Y'all think so? Nah. It's like it's too much. Like, Brad Bill threw everything off.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Hmm. Interesting. Now, there's been a lot of rumors that the Suns are shopping KD if they can't get Jimmy Butler, which starting there I think is already a weird statement to say. But if KD happens to go somewhere, what team do you think you might see him going back to? You think it's Golden State?
Starting point is 00:03:43 Rockets or Golden State. I could see those, but I don't think it'll get time. I don't think it'll Golden State? Rockets or Golden State. I could see those, but I don't think it'll get done in time. Yeah, that's too big of a move to make. I think a lot of shit we might see today be like, I ain't gonna
Starting point is 00:04:00 say really lower tier, no disrespect, but role players and money and shit like that. But then my man might be a blockbuster. No disrespect, but role players and money and shit like that. But then my man might be a blockbuster. You know, the NBA? I don't think so. I might put a little razzle dazzle at 11.59. What's wrong?
Starting point is 00:04:16 I was straight? I've been talking. Oh, y'all. Come on. Don't do that today. We good? Okay. Wake up, cameras. Don't do that today. We good? Okay. Oh, okay. Wake up, cameras. Out there with Marcus Jordan.
Starting point is 00:04:31 They always messing up some shit, so I got to call people out early in the morning. But what I was saying with some of the teams, it was like with the KD, that's a possibility, but I don't get that. So if you get Jimmy Butler, you cool, but if you don't get Jimmy Butler, you're Trey KD. I understand that Luka's trade is already taking the edge
Starting point is 00:04:48 off anybody doing some wild shit, so nobody going to get penalized if they tweak out, but that's kind of weird, though. Why is that the domino effect? I don't know, man. It's the money. If we get Jimmy, we got a chance to win. If we don't get Jimmy,
Starting point is 00:05:04 obviously we ain't winning shit. So let's get our shit money. Yeah. And we have to pay KDA extension soon. We already over the tax by crazy. Let's just get under the tax, bro. So they might trade him for some young guys.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Hmm. I can see that happening for sure. Now I laugh because the Mavs, it was like in a dream scenario, they would get Kevin Durant as well. And in everybody's dream scenario, they would fucking get Kevin Durant.
Starting point is 00:05:28 I don't know what type of report that means, but everybody wants Kevin Durant, bro. That doesn't mean y'all can get him. Now, they didn't make a trade yesterday.
Starting point is 00:05:34 They traded Quentin Grimes. They got Twin up there from the Philly. How y'all feel about that situation? Just same type shit? Yeah. Low tier shit.
Starting point is 00:05:45 What about the Cougs, though? Cougs are supposed to be. Yeah. Low tier shit. What about the Kuz, though? Kuz is supposed to be getting traded. No, yeah. The Kyle Kuzma for Chris Milton trade kind of scratches my head with that situation, Teague. How you feel about that? Chris Milton got like two years left on his deal. Just getting off the money. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:01 That's all it is. Because I'm like, I don't see that as being... I mean, shout out to Kyle Kuzma, but for what that team means, I don't know if he's going to contribute as much as he could, but if it's about the money then, so be it.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Yeah, just getting off the money. That's all it really is. That ain't a bad piece to pick up for. And I think Kuzma's going to be a free agent. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah. That ain't a bad piece to grab just for. Like, shit, we can see if he give us something, we renting.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yeah. So then, that money. So renting. Yeah. So then... We got that money. So that's interesting. So if you're the Bucks, do you wait to the offseason to make another move in that situation?
Starting point is 00:06:31 All right, we'll rock out with Kyle, but now we got free money to add with our two franchise players. Shit, you don't got no choice. That's what they got to do. Because... They need another star
Starting point is 00:06:43 to keep Giannis happy. Obviously, you see Giannis saying shit that, like, he want to see everybody in a big market and all this happy. Obviously, you see Giannis saying shit that like, he want to see everybody in a big market and all this shit. Yeah, that was it.
Starting point is 00:06:48 That's kind of scaring people a little bit. So now that Milwaukee know, like, we got to get off that money and free up some more space so we can get another player. We got to keep
Starting point is 00:06:55 Giannis happy. Hey, shout out to Giannis always testing that gangster. Anytime he ain't happy about it, he getting a prayer. Hey, yo, yo, I want to see everybody thrive. And if I ain't got what I want,
Starting point is 00:07:04 then yeah, we'll figure it out. Because when he said, yeah, I want to see everybody thrive. And if I ain't got what I want, then yeah, we'll figure it out. Because when he said, yeah, I want to see yogurt in New York, everybody's like, damn, this is the second time I do it. Where you want to go, bro? Because last time I did that, yeah, y'all wouldn't got me damned. The next time y'all do some bullshit I don't like, yeah, I will not be a buck anymore. I don't even know where he can go.
Starting point is 00:07:19 That's a big market. Bro, if he goes to Golden State, I mean, we spent a lot of years, but. Golden State a big market. Bro, if he goes to Golden State, I mean, we've spent a lot of years, but Golden State a big market. Who else? New York, Golden State, Chicago. Them like the biggest markets. Chicago would be lit.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Miami would be lit. Miami ain't a big market, but you can make it lit, though. But New York, Chicago, LA. Damn. Golden State would it lit, though. But New York, Chicago, LA. Damn. Golden State would be insane, though. Stephan and Giannis would be crazy. Chicago, he has to do a lot of work.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I'm sleeping on him going. I ain't saying that. I'm just saying the big markets. Question from the chat early on. It says, does Luka add any more pressure to JJ in the future and right now him and LeBron together? Uh,
Starting point is 00:08:08 nah. I mean, shoot. Nah, he actually took pressure off of him. Yeah, yeah. He's saving his job, bro. He just got a Hall of Famer.
Starting point is 00:08:17 He ain't got a really coach. And he got LeBron who really kind of the head coach. He just made life sweet. It ain't been that. Everybody know it's an adjustment period now
Starting point is 00:08:24 because you had them fifth in the West with AD. So everybody, like, you got the two best. You had a dynamic duo with LeBron and AD. Now you get a chance to really chill because nobody expects much from Luka and LeBron. They got to figure it out. They need
Starting point is 00:08:39 that time to figure it out, how to play with each other and all that shit. So if y'all go on a losing streak or whatever it is, all the pressure is off. They just switched your whole team. Yeah. The basketball guys looked out for JJ, if anything. They had no pressure, man. It's all green. Yeah, halfway through your first year in the season,
Starting point is 00:08:56 you're probably one of the biggest trades in NBA history. It ain't on you, regardless of what happens in the situation. Nah, it's all green. But it definitely don't hurt to get Luka Doncic in that situation. we'll talk about the Lakers game later but you think LeBron might stick around
Starting point is 00:09:08 yeah he said he ain't going nowhere I know he ain't going to the trailer but you think after the season you think he gonna lock in
Starting point is 00:09:13 yeah he said he was locked in with the Lakers that's hard though maybe he got something up his sleeve too though he probably
Starting point is 00:09:21 Jeannie Bussing him probably tell him he could probably get a little piece of that ownership when he done. I'm locked in then. Oh yeah, we all here then. I'm pretty sure they said some shit like that.
Starting point is 00:09:30 It's a back and deal in that situation? Somewhere, because I ain't never heard Brian say he was locked in. Well, we know what happens when Brian starts saying stuff like that. When he starts posting niggas on Instagram, they typically leave, so we got to take that with a grain of salt. Damn, he done posted a nigga killing?
Starting point is 00:09:45 Nah, you know what happens, though. Anytime real killer, yeah, he's on a real different team next time. Yeah, get a Roy highlight tape going. Well, shoot, after they played yesterday, I don't know. I don't know if it's open trials no more than the Lakers, man, for sure. But we'll get to it, man. A lot of rumors going on. We'll see who moves around.
Starting point is 00:10:03 One of the greater games of yesterday, the Celtics and the Cavs headed off yesterday, 112-105. Man, I thought it was going to be a built-to-ass situation, but the Cavs kept fighting for sure. Really, really good game yesterday. JT had 22-7-4. JB only had 16-9.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Porzingis had 19 as well. Now, if Mitchell was hooping yesterday, he had 31-10. Madarius Garland had 25. He killed in the second half as well. The Cavs won it too against the Celtics. I don't really hold that much to them because when the Celtics played
Starting point is 00:10:30 like they played yesterday, they didn't even play their best and they still a lot to deal with, man. They still a defending champ. It was a bad game at first, man. They couldn't score. Nobody could score. Jalen Brown had to put the team
Starting point is 00:10:39 on his back in the first quarter. He had all the points. It was just a slow game. It started to pick up in the second half or whatever. Like the points. It was just a slow game. It started to pick up in the second half or whatever. Like you said, the Cavs made a run,
Starting point is 00:10:49 cut the lead, made it an exciting game. But when I look at the Cavs, man, I like them. But like, they fifth player, sixth player.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Ain't giving them nothing. Nah, they just not comparable to the Celtics. Like, they fifth and sixth player are damn near Hall of Famers. True. Like, it's just not fair. Like, they fifth and sixth player are damn near Hall of Famers.
Starting point is 00:11:06 True. Like, it's just not fair. Like, you got, I love Sam Murrow. I played with him in Milwaukee, but Sam Murrow is, like, getting hella minutes. Like, Ty Jerome is subbing in.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Solid NBA player, but these are they key guys. Yeah. And this is Drew Holiday. You know what I mean? That's true, bro. This Peyton Pritchard averaging 16, 15. That's what I said in the playoff series, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:33 I don't see that even making sense, bro. I love George Neang, but you subbing in without Horford. It's quiet. Yeah, it's different. It's just a different level. And like, they two stars gotta be crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Like, Donovan Mitchell had to get crazy for them to be in that game. They had to Steph and KD the whole way through. Yeah, they was hooping. And I ain't gonna lie, Evan Moby did not play well at all. 3-4-14. Yeah, that's not acceptable. But he going to have nights like that because that team is more versatile.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Like, even though he like a matchup nightmare for most teams, he's not for the Celtics because JT 6'9". Tell the boys to throw at him. Perzing is 7'1". Yeah. Like, and Jerry Allen is a force down low, but he don't do nothing on the perimeter. So he plays into the Celtics' hand a little bit.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Like, you going to let Porzingis just stay down there and block shots? All right. All right. Yeah, shit. Jared does not stretch the floor at all. Yeah, so you don't let Al Horford or no sit in the paint where they do well as a protector around? Well, Porzingis definitely.
Starting point is 00:12:45 And that's if you get there, because you got Derek White on one side and sit in the paint. What they do well is protect the rim. Well, Porzingis, definitely. And that's if you get there, because you got Derek White on one side and Drew on the other. And then JT can guard Evan Mobley. It ain't a mismatch. So, it's just a bad matchup for them, I think. I want to ask y'all this. Obviously, the Celtics is a bad matchup for them.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Everybody, to get out the East, do you think that the Cavs can beat the Bucs in this series? And do you think the Cavs can beat the Knicks in this series? Either one of those teams? the Cavs could beat the Bucs in the series, and do you think the Cavs could beat the Knicks in the series, either one of those teams? The Cavs can beat the Bucs. I don't know about the Knicks. They match up better with the Bucs.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Right. The Bucs' wings, no offense. The wing matchup ain't really talking about nothing over there. You got Giannis, you got Dane. The wings is... You're not really fearing TP and Andre Jackson.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Yeah, the matchup problem for the Cavs is the wings when it comes to the Celtics. Their wings are kind of iffy. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think they'll beat the Bucs. I think they'll beat the Bucs. Yeah, they could beat the Bucs. I don't think they could beat the Knicks. Now, the Knicks, I don't know, bro. That's the wings.
Starting point is 00:13:53 There we go. They got all the wings. It might get a little spooky. And Jalen Brunson, and shout out to Darius Garland, all-star, but that's tough on that island. I mean, they kind of, I ain't going to say balance each other out, but I just feel like Darius Garland, an all-star, but that's tough on that island. But it's, I mean, they kind of, I ain't going to say
Starting point is 00:14:05 balance each other out, but I just feel like Darius Garland had to play way harder than Jalen Brunson. He has to score. And like, in that game last night,
Starting point is 00:14:16 they're, like the JB screen, even though he didn't play that well, they picking on him on them screens, switching roles. He has to have 20-25 every game
Starting point is 00:14:23 because his scoring, because he ain't going to stop none of them. He got JB like that, 25 every game because his score, because he ain't going to stop another deal. He got JB like that. It's going to get ugly, bro. The thing is, Jalen Brunson can hide on defense. He can guard Max Struess. And now you got Mikel Bridges or OG or Josh Hart guarding Darius Garland, right? You go into a pick and roll, they got big wings.
Starting point is 00:14:43 If you go into a pick and roll with Cat, Cat get to sit back because Jared Allen and them dudes, he can be up and drop back because Jared Allen's no 3.3. So he don't got to switch. Yeah. You know, usually with Porzingis and them, he got to switch. He don't got to switch with the Cats. No, sir. They not no 3.3.
Starting point is 00:14:59 So he get to drop back and coverage and they fight over the screen. McDarius Carlin playing that in-between game. McDowell Mitchell playing that in-between game. McDonnell Mitchell playing that in-between game. It's a better matchup. Mm-hmm. The action is always heating up on the field at the DraftKings Sportsbook. But the big bet this time around, touchdowns

Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and like you said with Cat on the other side of that Jared Allen but you're not going to be
Starting point is 00:20:53 existing to paint because you have to guard Cat you got to guard Cat way out there so now you got JB the only thing that helps them is that Josh Hart
Starting point is 00:21:00 he can make a shot but he's not a knockdown shooter so you could put Jared Allen on him and you can do what I did to Buddy and kind of play that cat and mouse game with Josh Hart. Let's see if he can make it.
Starting point is 00:21:12 What you did, though, Josh Hart, ain't going that long. Josh Hart, because they don't know what we're talking about, so that's definitely Paul. But, that's wild as fuck, actually. But I think Josh Hart
Starting point is 00:21:27 to catch on and then start to... Yeah, he attacked. Yeah, right. I'm just saying, that's something you could do.
Starting point is 00:21:32 I guess I did see him hooping the play a lot. I showed some love to Josh Hart. Like, his jump shot ain't falling. He'll make a way, man. He somehow gets to the basket. So,
Starting point is 00:21:40 for sure. I see them looking to de-hunt the Cavs. I think that's a person they definitely need. Now we talking. I know we ain't giving a person they definitely need. Now we talking. I know we ain't giving them up, though, but now we talking. Who the fuck for?
Starting point is 00:21:50 I mean, shit, we can figure it out. Picks? Hell nah. You ain't about to treat him like an old boy that got traded for the soaker. No way. I ain't saying no second-round picks for sure. I'm saying, like, he might have the first-round pick in there. Who, Schifino? Yeah. I wonder if he got second round picks, but I'm saying like, he might have the first round pick in there. Who is it? Shefino?
Starting point is 00:22:05 Yeah. I wonder if he got some tick. He too valuable, bro. I agree. He not too valuable, bro. All right. But from what we just saw yesterday, again,
Starting point is 00:22:13 like the Cavs need another scoring wing to help this. Donovan Mitchell played like two for me yesterday. He was fucking killing and it still wasn't enough. Yeah, they need another wing. To compete in the East,
Starting point is 00:22:22 they're going to have to get somebody else who can score in the wing position, but good win for sure for the Celtics. And B came back, man. He ain't hooped in a while, but he definitely played like, you know what I'm saying? He's supposed to.
Starting point is 00:22:30 MVP caliber type player. 29, 11, and 10. Trippy dub. Tyrese Maxey had 33 at 13, man. Got the Mavs. 118, 116. You see what he said? He said, why you play?
Starting point is 00:22:41 He said, I ain't want to get traded. That nigga a clown. Hey, you clowning. He's out of pocket, man. I said why you play I said I didn't want to get traded that nigga had clout baby you clouted he out of pocket man the Mavs new look the Mavs Kyrie had 34-9-4 yesterday Max Christie looked good
Starting point is 00:22:53 yesterday for that team man he probably like damn I get to shoot the ball and shit ah man so much freshman I'm playing with LeBron just keeping it real if he go over there
Starting point is 00:23:03 and really kill that it'd be crazy he probably is bro he get to play free bro he gonna do everything he's supposed to do Just keeping it real. If he go over there and really kill that, it'd be crazy. He probably is. Bro, he's doing it. You get to play free, bro. He's going to do everything he's supposed to do. Had 15 yesterday,
Starting point is 00:23:10 shoot at a high percentage. You don't really take a lot of dumb shots. And he got a burner. He fit perfect with that team need, especially when AD start playing. They in and out, bro.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I want him to do well. I'm not saying nothing. I'm not even saying he's sad or nothing. I'm just saying, if he go over here and really kill, I know the Lakers
Starting point is 00:23:22 going to be like, what the fuck? That's what happens to the Lakers. They get everybody leaving and start hooping. What the fuck going on? I think when you're 20, what are you over here and really kill, I know the Lakers are going to be like, what the fuck? That's what happens with Lakers. They get everybody leaving. What the fuck going on? I think when you're 20, what are you, like 19, 20, 21, and you go to a team with LeBron, bro, you grew up.
Starting point is 00:23:33 It's the only person. You're probably his favorite player, bro. Yeah. He probably, I looked at LeBron, probably was fucked up. LeBron probably talked to him like, hey, Max, get this shit. He probably scared as hell. Probably scared to make a mistake, all that type of shit. I hate to play that shit, hey, Max, get this shit. He probably scared as hell. Probably scared to make a mistake, all that type of shit.
Starting point is 00:23:46 I hate to play that shit. Oh, yeah, looking at him. Yeah. Yeah, bro. That nigga look like Eric Benet. I walk right past him. Christy. I forgot what he look like.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Never go Eric Benet. But no, man. You fry for that. How you feel about Kyrie being able to lead the team I know there's been a lot knocking on his leadership capabilities but this new look situation
Starting point is 00:24:10 he's going to be the person they look to to know what I'm saying get him through you think Kyrie capable I think he's been a better leader as of late I mean his move to the Mavs
Starting point is 00:24:18 has been great his energy everything he's been doing has been great everybody's been raving about the person he is and the teammate he's been since he's been there. But I think he has help now with AD.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yes, sir. Also, people question his leadership abilities, but they both get a chance to step up and try to make something happen. I think that's a crazy dynamic duo. Man, it's going to be a really good thing to see. I know Dan Gavry got a little hurt back there, but when Lively get back, man,
Starting point is 00:24:42 that's a hell of a lineup you got to deal with. And I think they still are active as well. I think they're trying to add something else to their team. I don't know, they got a little hurt back there, but when Lively get back, man, that's a hell of a lineup you got to deal with. And I think they still are active as well. I think they're trying to add something else to their team. I don't know what else they need.
Starting point is 00:24:50 I mean, they said KD, but I don't know who they traded. I mean, you got to give up Lively. You got to give up Lively. You got to give up
Starting point is 00:24:57 damn near all these picks. Okay. When? Y'all need me to go get it? I'm trying to think who else you can have Lively you can have my right kidney who else they got PJ
Starting point is 00:25:14 PJ gotta go Lively gotta go gotta give him something else damn Jeff Lively on a rookie deal PJ Lively you do rookie deal. DJ Lively. That's a lot. You do gotta make the money match. Yeah, you gotta give us something else.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Somebody else gotta. I don't care who though. The young boy. Nigel Marshall gotta go. And that young boy. Now listen, y'all say y'all need salary back. I'm not taking all my young talent now. Y'all already got it. Got to. Max Christie might be on the move again yeah Max Christie
Starting point is 00:25:45 might be on the move again Max Christie lively we need to take your name on the Max Christie lively
Starting point is 00:25:51 hearty and Najee Marshall that's fine I have oh no no no I'll take that back Clay
Starting point is 00:25:56 come on Jeff you cannot trade six people from the mass I know that he's worthy of that but you can't they won't even
Starting point is 00:26:02 approve it on 2k bro somebody else has to go back in that trade. It is. It's probably some sad people on Suns. I shouldn't say sad, but like some young boys on Suns. Let's desire it. It's going to be Klay, Max Christie.
Starting point is 00:26:13 We got to keep Klay. Najee Marshall and Lively. That's cool. I still got Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and Kevin Durant. That shit probably won't work. Klay Thompson gone the sad part about that is if one of them get injured
Starting point is 00:26:30 it's over with yeah Clay Thompson not gonna be it just gotta work they did it in Brooklyn already didn't work touche shout out to the fat soup
Starting point is 00:26:38 from James Harden man listen we talk about the 76ers team at full strength they can make some noise y'all think if they go into the playoffs at decent to full health, they can upset somebody?
Starting point is 00:26:47 No. You're not saying you ain't buying it or got it? Yeah. They can beat. So they can beat the Cavs. They can beat the Pacers? Yeah, I would beat the ass. They can beat the Cavs.
Starting point is 00:26:59 They at full strength, they can beat the Cavs. That's a tough matchup. As a first round matchup, that's tough. Are you saying it like I'm serious, though? Can they really beat the Cavs. That's a tough matchup. As a first round matchup, that's tough. Are you saying, like, I'm serious, though. Like, can they really beat the Pacers? The Sixers? Yeah, if they had full strength, they could sweep the Pacers. They didn't even know
Starting point is 00:27:13 they didn't even know, like, shade. Like, Embiid is... That's what it sounds like. No, no, Embiid is that dominant, bro. Like, he could foul your whole team out. I mean, we don't have anybody guard your Embiid, for sure. Yeah, and I ain't even trying to be funny. I'm being dead ass serious. That's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:27:28 It's the same thing. It's the same thing with the Cavs, bro. They don't got nobody that can guard your LNB. That's a tough, tough deal. Yeah, and Tyrese Maxey, PG, full strength. That's a fucking team over there now. We got to quit playing like they ain't got no killers over there. Yeah, I'm not buying a fool's go right now.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Niggas need sinceal beans. Joel B ain't play basketball in a month. I'm about to talk about that post. You see, he ain't play basketball in a month. Nigga had a triple-double first game. Yeah, nigga was charged up. Nigga like a Tesla. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:28:01 I should tell you, he really playing around. Nah, Joel B is an AVP candidate every year for a reason, man. That full-strength best-seller team should be good, but we've been waiting for it. I mean, yeah,
Starting point is 00:28:10 I don't think we're ever going to get it, but yeah. For sure, man. Lakers built an ass situation yesterday. They beat the shit out the Clippers.
Starting point is 00:28:16 122-97. Brown was who? Brown was killing yesterday. Lakers has a hole yesterday with Scoop. That first quarter, they couldn't miss, bro. Yeah, facts.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Rui was on fire, everybody. Austin Reed's been killing, man. 20 and 9. Austin Reed, I told y'all, he was nice at the point guard spot. I was definitely. I don't know why you typed it up there and said that Bronny scored
Starting point is 00:28:35 more points than Tyrese Halliburton yesterday. That is a fact, unfortunately. How many Bronny had? Three. Tyrese didn't score? No. Shot the ball three times. Yeah. I told y'all Portland was going to beat your ass. How many Bronny had? Three. Tyrese didn't score? No.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Shot the ball three times. Yeah. I told y'all Portland was going to beat your ass. Portland beat the shit out of us yesterday for sure. But this Lakers won yesterday. Post trade, is that a high? Everybody happy? New roles, new opportunities?
Starting point is 00:28:58 They're just having fun, hopefully. Yeah. Like, you play so much for, you got to think. Anthony Davis, obviously he made up so much for them on defense you know blocking shots switching and picking rolls all that shit he was doing but offensively
Starting point is 00:29:11 you get to play free shit when Bron go out who got us I get to shoot ain't nobody else here I got a bad team that was a good win for them though
Starting point is 00:29:20 that was a good win yeah they handled the Clippers yesterday speaking of somebody else like the Matt Christie situation, dude, Dalton Connect. Promised in early years. Started getting DNPs, not getting no minutes.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Now he gets to play freely again. Hey, man, it's like a team. They might could do something, man. I'm interested to see. You ain't fucking with it. You don't think they can win the playoff round with Luke and LeBron? Quiet. Damn, y'all nothing?
Starting point is 00:29:42 They can't get a first-round win? Mm-mm. At a five-seat? Four-five match a first round win? Mm-mm. At a five seed? Four or five matchup, they cooked? Mm-mm. Damn. Let's go to the West
Starting point is 00:29:50 and see who they would play if they stayed where they was at. Nuggets? No, they better hope the Nuggets. Yeah. Nah. They definitely not beat them niggas. Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Could they beat the Clippers in the series? If it matched up like that? Yeah, they could beat the Clippers. Okay. How about the Rockets? No. I mean, they might be able to. Yeah, they could beat the Clippers. Okay. How about the Rockets? No. I mean, they might be able to.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah, with him and Luka, they just going to get mismatches all game. They just going to keep switching Van Fleet. Yeah. Pick your poison. Yeah, they could beat them. They can't beat the Nuggets, though. I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:30:21 There's no way they can beat the Nuggets. We saw Jackson Hayes last night. Is he the type of player they need? Like, they're rolling big, or do they still need to go get it big? He's a one-leg jumper. You got to have a two-foot jumper for Luka. You got to be able to catch a lob off, too. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:30:39 We understand what you're saying, but could you break that down for our consumers? A lot of people, when you catch a lob, you got to be able to have like vertical you need a guy that can jump off vertical and catch lobs and i'm not saying jackson hayes can't i mean obviously he's seven foot he bought around but he gets up higher when he gets a running start and jump off one leg and with luca you got to get in a pick and roll you're gonna roll to the basket he's gonna hold the ball for a little bit and then he might just throw it up and you gotta have have a vertical leap to go get it. And you can't get a running start a lot of times. It's just straight off vertical. That's why Lively and
Starting point is 00:31:09 Gaffer was so good because they both can jump off vertical and catch lives pretty well. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Like Capella. But that's why Jackson Hayes never been a crazy lob threat. Like if you seen his dunk last night, it was off the row. He caught it one leg. And that's interesting you say that because I always wonder why because i'm like he's dumb
Starting point is 00:31:27 athletic like it's always been there but that kind of type of a breakdown makes sense yeah you would think he would be lively you would think he would be gafford and we never talked about him in that kind of light because that's the reason that's interesting also i want to know do you think that the lane opened up more of no ad if they go get it big and play that and lebron is basically your small i mean your power forward does the lane will open up more? I know AD, if they go get it big and play that, and LeBron is basically your power forward. Does the lane open up a little bit more for Luka to have that type of energy to throw them lobs? Or is it just—
Starting point is 00:31:51 LeBron at the four? Yeah. Nigga's still going to be helping. He's still going to be helping. I mean, LeBron, obviously, he's shooting the ball way better than years ago. But I want LeBron shooting threes instead of going to the basket. Yeah, that's a good one. For sure.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Well, time will tell, man. Unfortunately, Lucas' first game will be against the Pacers, and I don't look forward to it, but I am definitely excited to see it happen for sure. A couple more games took place last night. The Knicks took care of the Raptors yesterday. 121-115. Knicks on the eight-game winning streak, man.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Cat had 27-20. He definitely covered for you yesterday. Taylor Brunson, 28-5 man. Cat had 27-20. He definitely covered for you yesterday. Taylor Brunson, 28-5 assists. Scottie Barnes had 23. Man, the Knicks just doing what they supposed to do. Man, like you said, a little bit across the finish line,
Starting point is 00:32:34 forgot to tell the team to deal with it. You was right again about the Chicago Bulls took care of the Heat yesterday, 133-124. I told you Kobe White was going to have a game. Man, Josh Giddey had 24-7-5. Kobe White always hooping, had 22. Your favorite white boy had 23, 9, and 8. Bam had 23 and 8 yesterday.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Bulls always win games. We count them out of it, bro. I know. I'm telling y'all, bet with Teague. Got the parlay up? Nah, I don't do par. I don't bet, but I know we're going to win. Okay. Moneyline Teague. I'm fucking with it. The Nets took care of the Rockets yesterday.
Starting point is 00:33:05 And listen, man. The end of that game was fucking ridiculous, man. I know we talk about inexperience in the NBA, but they completely smoked that game yesterday. Like, there's no way that they're supposed to lose that game. Shout out to D-Lo getting the game winner. Got his pose off. Got his shit off the way he was supposed to.
Starting point is 00:33:21 But the Rockets really smoked that game yesterday. I love D-Lo on losing teams. Get the flex. That come off the wrong way, but... It do? How? I just love to see him play free. Yeah, when you're on a losing team
Starting point is 00:33:35 where teams are kind of struggling a little bit. I love to see a nigga on a losing team sound crazy, though, when you look at it. Somebody clip that up. I love when that nigga losing I do he play better
Starting point is 00:33:47 well to be fair they've clipped the worst I feel like when he play on team where he can play free and they just have playing open basketball bro he's fun to watch actually I hated D-Lo on the Lakers like I thought I damn near started saying he was sad like man he damn near sad
Starting point is 00:34:03 yeah that make you drink the Kool-Aid yeah one of those was a game near sad yeah that make you drink the Kool-Aid oh you think I shoot a precision yesterday yeah one of those was a game winner that's what make it fire yeah shot at the D-Law he only hit a couple but he hit the one
Starting point is 00:34:11 I'm shooting 20% from the field and winning that's what I'm saying I love that game winner with 10 turn me up he shot that that confidence at a different level
Starting point is 00:34:19 that's playing free I ain't even thinking it didn't even cross my mind that I missed this many shots that's a coach's dream for a player he fucked around and airball that bitch in L.A. He would have been so nervous thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:34:29 He got a pass to DeBron or somebody. He'd fuck around and airball that bitch. And I'm looking at who played last night in respect to the squad, but who else is supposed to take that shot? I wish somebody would yell at me for taking the shot.

Starting point is 00:51:42 yeah getting traded like slavery yeah I just wanted to like speak on that I don't think we should go that route before we get out of here, y'all see what Dennis Schroeder said. Yeah, getting traded like slavery. Yeah. I just wanted to like, speak on that. I don't think we should go that route, would it?
Starting point is 00:51:51 Cause, I know some people, some random people, a couple people said slavery was a choice, but, it really wasn't a choice. This is way different. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I like yay, but. Yeah, like that's wild. Ye was wrong. Yeah. Told y'all, y'all gave that nigga Dennis Schroeder a hairpiece. He just out here talking now. But, nah, I get what he's trying to say.
Starting point is 00:52:14 It's like the slave trade. You can go anywhere. They can send you where. They can do whatever they want. I get what he's trying to say, but, like, that's a bad comparison, especially in February. And respect to Dennis, you probably should probably say that for somebody who grew up in America. They'll probably say some stuff like that. I know you're probably aware of that type of stuff. But that's a hell of a...
Starting point is 00:52:31 He don't know nothing about... No, he don't. Shut the fuck up, nigga. You're not allowed to speak on that. Talking about some shit, some slavery, nigga. Shut up. He what? He African. Nah, nigga, German. Nah, he African. Giannis is not Greek. He is
Starting point is 00:52:48 African. Dennis is definitely African. Yeah, Dennis is probably one of the best. And then, you know what the crazy part about that is? A report came out. Dennis Schroeder is officially up for trade. I'm just saying. Come on, man. That nigga done named Axel, bro.
Starting point is 00:53:03 No African named Axel, bro. He's definitely African. You can look at him and see. come on man that nigga name axel bro african name axel he's definitely african you can look at him and see respect the legend for sure but he just grew up in germany before the rebrand look at him bro he black his first haircut in the 80s where that at
Starting point is 00:53:19 nah he's german no bro look at him I ain't seen that I'm just saying he's German no bro stop bro that nigga is look at him nigga I ain't seen a German ever look like that
Starting point is 00:53:29 it's an African nigga yeah bro it's different bro go ahead T he African but I was just saying like I get what he's saying with the slave trade and stuff
Starting point is 00:53:38 but we gotta use a different analogy bro like cause you like you said you getting paid a lot of money they wasn't getting paid shit bro yeah you ain't getting beat you ain't getting whooped if you don paid a lot of money. They weren't getting paid shit, bro.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Yeah. You ain't getting beat. You ain't getting whooped if you don't do something. That's why I don't sleep on that, bro. That's a shitty comparison. Yeah, like, you're not going through any real struggles, bro. This is all luxuries. Everything about this is up. Even if you get traded, you're getting traded to a city, and it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Y'all out of pocket, bro. Jeff talking about this nigga. They got this nigga smiling this bitch I'm just saying everywhere you go is luxury bro you get traded
Starting point is 00:54:11 even if you get traded your family get traded y'all still moving to a city and y'all can go live in a nice luxury place you can't pay millions and millions of dollars to do something you love
Starting point is 00:54:19 I get it it's inconvenient sometimes that you gotta move your city I mean your family to a different city but shit this is lovely I'll do that shit any day you know what I mean your family to a different city, but shit, this is lovely. I'll do that shit any day.

Starting point is 00:54:53 man. Yeah, man. We about to get out of here, buddy. Ain't no wrapping up, nigga. Wrong dogging.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Look at that. Nah, man, I wouldn't. You owe some other shit. I'm talking about, I'm just talking about his statement, man. Because a lot of people took that wrong, bro.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Yeah, you can't say shit like that. Yeah. And I get what he was trying to say, but it's... Yeah, you're wrong. That's a little sensitive. I had some people text me that earlier, like, damn, bro. Slave trade? I'm like, I get what he's saying. Yeah, slave trade is absolutely out of my control.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Y'all trying to say that nigga African ain't no damn African? Yes, he is. No, he is not, bro. Look at that, bro. Man, I don't know. I'm out. Hey, man, we'll be back same time tomorrow at 520 in the morning. The Volume.
