Starting point is 00:03:00 We all knew the Chiefs were going to win. I don't think nobody had a thought in their mind like, dang, the Bills might win this game. Yeah, shout out to the fans of Buffalo. I know y'all thought this was y'all year, you know what I'm saying, respect, but y'all been doing more heartbreak. Didn't they get to the Super Bowl a couple times in a row and lose? Yeah, this is not new to them, man.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, I wanted the Bills to win, but I guess I was hating. Oh, yeah, you had your job shouted out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was hating. It's different when Pat Mahomes is up there. I think that's the real deal. Yeah, I was hating. Oh, yeah, you had your Josh Allen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was hating. It's different when Pat Mahomes is up there. I think that's the real deal. Yeah, I was hating. It's crazy. I've been seeing a lot of comparisons people have been putting into the Steph and James
Starting point is 00:03:31 Harden situation. It's like Josh Allen having crazy years, like James Harden killing. But you know what I'm saying? When it came down to it, Steph always got pats. That Pat Mahomes is damn show Steph. Oh, Steph Curry for sure. Yeah. I'll give him that.
Starting point is 00:03:42 That's a hell of a comparison. That's great. Whoever put that together. Yeah, that was like, damn, that's better. Yeah. I'll give him that. That's a hell of a comparison. That's great whoever put that together. Yeah, that was like, damn, that's better. I can say it anyway, man. But, man, shout out to the Chiefs, man. It's crazy. Pat Mahomes do it with whoever on their team, man.
Starting point is 00:03:53 It don't matter. Yeah, man. Shout out to the Chiefs. They going to get it done. They going to get it done. I remember we kept saying he couldn't win without Tyreek Hill. Man. Then they won without Tyreek Hill.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Then he had some, who was his main receiver last year? Juju? I don't even know. I don't even know. He did have Juju. Juju's lesson came back too.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Yeah, I don't even know. I'm just glad to see DeAndre Hopkins there, man. For sure, man. Yeah. I want the Eagles to win, but to see DeHop get one, bro, after that smut
Starting point is 00:04:21 they put on you, bro, you deserve it. Yeah. That'd be tough. That'd be hard. I like Saquon too, though, so I That'd be hard. I like Saquon too, though, so I'm a little torn. I want Saquon to win just because the Giants are stupid.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Listen, I don't ever want nice things for the Eagles, but like you said, man, for what the Giants did, for them to give Saquon a new fresh breath and a great team and ruin our division for the next four to five years, they deserve to see the Eagles win for sure, man. Moving on to next game, like you said, belt-to-ass situation yesterday, man.
Starting point is 00:04:46 The Eagles definitely took care of the command yesterday, 55-23. It was a close game. It's that third quarter after that fumble. It got real wicked, man. Saquon went crazy yesterday, 118 on the ground with three TDs. Jalen Hurts had 246 in the air and four total TDs, man. And listen, man, J.D. showed up yesterday. He had 255 in the air, 48 rushing, two, man. And listen, man, J.D. showed up yesterday. He had 255 in the air, 48 rushing, two TDs.
Starting point is 00:05:08 It was just different, man. The Eagles looked like they could get the chip again this year. He played really well, though. Oh, yeah. It's just different, bro. Yeah, they just got a good-ass team. Yeah, the Eagles are a well-constructed team. Like you said, they were really good, and then they got Saquon Barkley.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Jalen Hurts sat down and said, is this what y'all wanted? He was, he ready for that, bro. He about to start talking cash shit now. I hope they win it, actually. They was talking shit about him on the internet.
Starting point is 00:05:31 That's like, he came in dressed like Shamar Moore and mixed with Michael Jordan in the 90s and said, that boy want that moment. Nah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:38 That was a good win for them. They beat the hell out of them, bro. Yeah, it got wicked in that fourth quarter. They ran up the score. And I love that. This is a divisional, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:05:44 We play all the time and this is for all the marbles to go to the Super Bowl? Yeah, we gonna beat y'all quarter. They ran up the score. And I love that. This is a divisional. You know what I'm saying? We play all the time. And just for all the marbles that go to the Super Bowl, yeah, we're going to beat y'all ass. Shouts to Gilly, man. I see you in the locker room clowning. Man, one of the most underrated parts about this Philly run is the fact that they integrated them with that. When he came out in the tunnel within the last game, that's fire.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Yeah, he really tapped in. He a super fan. Yeah, hell yeah. Shout out to the really know football. He a super fan, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hell yeah. But shout out to the Commanders. They had a good year. Great year. Jayden Daniels, best rookie season ever. Shout out to Terry, too, bro.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yeah. Running back next year, Nash, you had a good year. They was on Terry's head. They was like, hey, man, Terry had a great year, but who the hell is his barber? My boy had the crazy blend, bro, up top. Bro, Paul's like, we got to get a pick of that. It is one of the nastiest cuts. Like, Terry, you're getting too much money to get him type of phase, my boy. He locked in, bro.
Starting point is 00:06:30 He wasn't even thinking about no phase. He's getting to it. He's making enough money. You don't got to get cuts no more. For sure. And shout out to him. He's about to get married soon. So yeah, definitely ain't got to get no cuts no more. He already locked in. Nobody care about you after that. Remember those old, not old,
Starting point is 00:06:46 but the playoff traditions that Bron used to have. They used to all get lined up so nobody could get cuts and stuff like that. Who the fuck was lining them up? I don't know who was lining up the Cavs, but they didn't get paid.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Because they all had them baby Kobe Frohs in the playoffs. Oh, damn. Did y'all have any traditions like that? Any team you've been over that playoff time
Starting point is 00:07:02 by doing a little shit like y'all lock in differently or something like that? Y'all just win hoop. Just win hoop. Yeah, I couldn't imagine them doing that in Atlanta, bro. Nah, Joe cared about his waves too much. Yeah, Joe
Starting point is 00:07:15 ain't going. That's why I first thought about it. Hell nah, he ain't going. I was watching the game the other day. I've been running that back and I remember when they were trying to get to the playoffs. It was like the team of solidarity. Nobody get a bad for like a week. And I was just like, hey, I believe in team chemistry, but that's some bullshit.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Nah, that's just trash. Yeah, bro. That's nasty. Yeah, that ain't it. All right, man. Does it say more for the Eagles to get to the Super Bowl for the Chiefs? I don't know, shit.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Both of them are a good team. They done been here before. Yeah. I think everybody kind of predicted this, though. Like when the season first opened, we all kind of said the Eagles and the Chiefs would probably be in the championship. Yeah. I mean, the Eagles had a hell of a season, like we said.
Starting point is 00:07:54 NFC got a little bit spooky. Vikings going out early. Lions going out a little bit early. Unexpected. Yeah. I thought they'd have a little bit more resistance. But the guys showed some respect, for sure, man. But, you know, if I have a Holmes, he'd get them chips on the repeats.
Starting point is 00:08:04 They're running the back. I got him one time. If he win it again, I know he probably won. What else y'all want me to do? I done fulfilled my contract, bro. I'm a Hall of Fame nigga. Am I worth this $500 million now or what? I'm worth a billion at this point. If they win it again, he need to
Starting point is 00:08:19 redo his contract. Go ahead and give him a statue. And get a coach one, too. Andy Reid need a statue, bro. I don't care what nobody say, bro. Both of them. Nah, for real, bro. Andy Reed is the gold, bro. If I'm Pat Mahomes,
Starting point is 00:08:32 fuck a statue. I need half of this stadium. Like, I... This is my stadium. I need to be an owner of the Chiefs. But for him to turn around Kansas City, Missouri,
Starting point is 00:08:42 like that is crazy, bro. That's not like a... That's a walk-up crazy, bro. That's not like a, that's a walk-up town, bro. It's Modesto. Nah, for real, like, even when we think about, like, vacationing with our families and just our friends, bro,
Starting point is 00:08:53 I don't think any of us ever said, bro, we gotta pull up to KC, bro. Yo, listen, I know they all feel, I feel the same way about Indianapolis. Anybody put up here for vacation? But niggas is not talking about sliding against the city. Nah, but Peyton Manning really didn't,
Starting point is 00:09:04 it's different, bro. Peyton Manning didn Manning really didn't. It's different, bro. Peyton Manning didn't have the city lit like Pat Mahomes, bro. They're damn near guaranteed to go to the Super Bowl every fucking year, bro. Yeah, bro. You think of his playoff resume every year that he's been in the NFL, bro? That's damn near like Alabama and college football, bro. Real shit.
Starting point is 00:09:20 That's all we got to look for, bro. So that's hard. Shout out to Pat. Peyton definitely didn't have it like that. Nah, he didn't. Peyton had the city lit. And we was on pins and needles every time we got on the playoff. Nah, right. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:09:32 And listen, I know we make the Lamar Jackson comparisons about that early struggle. But yeah, starting off, he murdered us. Killing in regular season. Dude was spooky in the playoffs the first seven years. That's what I'm saying. It's different, bro. For you to have that small town and y'all damn near guaranteed nigga y'all damn near
Starting point is 00:09:46 minus 3,000 every year bro to go to the Super Bowl bro it's no good money on betting on y'all going to the Super Bowl and it don't matter who changes on the roster
Starting point is 00:09:54 they can lose everybody they still like yeah bet the house that's why I gotta put him up there with Brady y'all if y'all say he the GOAT
Starting point is 00:09:59 I'll fuck with that I ain't mad at that he get 3P that's tough I know Brady got hella rings we gotta respect that but a 3P that's tough it is bropeat, that's tough. I know Brady got hella rings. We got to respect that. But a three-peat is tough, bro. Three in a row is crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:06 It is, bro. In football? Yeah, that's tough. I just say Brady because he just did it with so many different teams, bro. Like, all them different, like, New England Patriots squads, bro. He was making it work, bro. That's kind of like him, though. The three-peat, they had turnover every year.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Somebody leave, something happen. Him, Travis Kelsey, and my guy Jones on defense. I hope that's the right one. They always at the, they the three amigos, I guess you can say. They always been there. They just stay for the franchise. But other than that, they have a lot of turnover. And then Tom won in Tampa Bay, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah, that was ultimate. Fuck you. Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah, that was ultimate. Fuck you. Yeah, that was fire. Yeah, so it was different, though. But shout out to Patty. For sure, man. We can't wait to see those odds coming up soon in that Super Bowl, man.
Starting point is 00:10:54 It might be a little favorable for the parlay, you feel me? Yeah. For sure, man. Some good games over the weekend, man. I love when we have these type of times, you know what I'm saying? The NFL took all of Sunday, so the NBA had all of Saturday, man. A lot of games. Lakers got two big dubs over the NFL took all Sunday. So the NBA had all of Saturday. Man, a lot of games. Lakers got two big dubs
Starting point is 00:11:06 over the weekend, man. They beat the Celtics and the Warriors. How we feeling? How we feeling, man? AD was going crazy this weekend. Average of 30 and 10. Nah, them y'all niggas, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:15 You still ain't showing them no love? They said we'd be slighting them and they right there in fifth and the left. Oh, yeah, the LA fans be tapping in with me. You know, I mean, I hope y'all make the playoffs
Starting point is 00:11:23 and stay there for a little bit. But championship, don't come across OKC. Wipe down. I think second round is more of a list to go for them right now, but they have won five of the last six. Is it fool's gold? Is it just... No, I'm just, bro, listen, bro. Nobody, we would never
Starting point is 00:11:38 see another LeBron James ever, bro. Ever. It's done. I get it, bro. The nigga 40, bro. So whatever LeBron James do at this point, bro, is a success. Yeah, bro. He about to get 50K points. Yeah, it's... That's crazy. Now, everybody in LA, the fans be right me. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:11:53 y'all, I get it. LeBron, y'all want to see him to win the championship, but it's too hard, bro. Y'all asking a lot, this nigga, bro. He can't have those expectations. Yeah, there's no way that people could expect LeBron to actually get championship this year
Starting point is 00:12:06 that's all I'm saying like I know he he has to say championship or bust but that ain't that ain't the problem so he has to
Starting point is 00:12:14 well you that great bro you can't say well we hopefully we make it to the first round he can't you can't do that bro he can't
Starting point is 00:12:23 if Bron get out there and say I'm trying to get to the second round they'll kill him yeah you can't do that bro bro. He can't. If Bron get out there and say, I'm trying to get to the second round, they'll kill him. Yeah, you can't do that, bro. I mean, but I think people will accept. I think anything Bron say at this point now, nobody really tripping.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Like, yeah, you 50, bro. You didn't save the game. You didn't do it. So he was like, man, I think we're good enough to get to the second round. People would be like, okay. Speaking of Bron,
Starting point is 00:12:40 I want to ask y'all, who is the next, who gets the torch now, though? That's a hell of a... I think it's going to have to be... Because everybody our age is almost gone. Yeah, our NBA is extinct almost. It's fading out.
Starting point is 00:12:53 But it's going to have to be a group rapper, bro. I don't think it's one person who can officially leave right now. It's not a distinct number one? Nah. I don't think it'd be in anybody's best interest to do that either because then that would be putting a lot of burden on somebody. I doubt they could carry that shit. LeBron carried that shit
Starting point is 00:13:05 differently. That's why we praise him the way we do. You can't put that type of situation on these young players, especially with social media they had early, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:12 It's a lot to ask, man. I just wanted to ask you. Yeah, I don't know who could. I mean, I think Wimby probably be the most likely next in line because he's just so unique of a player.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Elite. I think he'll probably be next in line, but I don't think he's ready to get handed to him now. I give him like two more player. Elite. I think he'll probably be next in line, but I don't think he's ready to get handed to him now. I give him like two more years. Listen, we'll talk about a little bit later in the show,
Starting point is 00:13:31 but what I saw from him in Paris, hey man, leave Winby alone, bro. Leave Winby alone, please. Speaking about Paris, how y'all went out there was crazy. Yeah, that first game

Starting point is 00:16:36 y'all crazy man shout out to the Pacers hey your boy Bronny been hooping in G League y'all know who it is Bronny been hooping in the G League y'all know who it is Bronny been hooping in the G League
Starting point is 00:16:46 you know 40% from the three you having that stat off hand is crazy we don't need to talk about nothing else y'all said he couldn't
Starting point is 00:16:56 shoot we over 40% from the three and that means like if he was in college with those stats bro he would be a lottery pick this year
Starting point is 00:17:04 see you gonna make that make sense I don't know how that means like if he was in college with those stats, bro, he would be a lottery pick this year. See, you going to make that make sense? I don't know how you try to put that together. He playing against, he killing against better talent. Yeah, I mean, he had a good moment. If he had these stats, the G League is better than USC's schedule. It's a different game. First fit.
Starting point is 00:17:24 But he playing well, well though that dunk was nasty nah he had a hell of a poster that would be this show for sure but I'm just saying you can tell
Starting point is 00:17:31 you can see his confidence growing definitely I mean that's all people ever wanted to see him would be aggressive so his confidence is growing but he did go through a what
Starting point is 00:17:40 a a tough year last year with the heart surgery and all that stuff so he'll have a lot to bounce back from yeah I think Bronny could be a rotational player in the league for a minute but a tough year last year with the heart surgery and all that stuff. Yeah, he'll have a lot to bounce back from. I think Bronny could be a rotational player in the league for a minute. I ain't saying he'll get a lot of minutes,
Starting point is 00:17:51 but I could definitely see him making squads. I mean, not off the strength of the name, but in the bench type player for sure. Yeah, I just think it's tough because people want to see him do so well or you either want to see him do so bad. Like, nobody has no in-between. Nobody really gives him grace. Yeah. We so hard on him.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Like, we either sad he suck, or we love him. You love him. Yeah, I fuck with him. Yeah, the rest of the world, the other half of the world, like, he suck. I think I really only like him for real. I don't know the little nigga, but I think I only really like him, bro, because LeBron is his dad, bro. His everyday life is not normal, bro.
Starting point is 00:18:24 That's a fact. His everyday life is not normal, bro. So, for him to have good games, bro, I love is his dad, bro. His everyday life is not normal, bro. That's a fact. His everyday life is not normal, bro. So for him to have good games, bro, I love to see that, bro. Jordan Kidd's the never, bro. No, it'd be not funny, but I wonder how they'll treat him once LeBron's out the league. Like, if LeBron get out the league and they automatically get Bronny out, that'd be crazy. Yeah. The only other superstar
Starting point is 00:18:39 son I'm really fucking with is Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen Jr. be hooping. He raw. He really is good, though. He fucking with his, Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen Jr. be hooping. He raw. He really is good, though. He be hooping forever. He really is good. He was underrated, too. He doing his thing.
Starting point is 00:18:51 For sure, man. We'll talk more about the Lakers as time progresses on. We'll talk about these all-star starters of the East. We got Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Jason Tatum, Giannis and Cat. How y'all feel about that? I mean, I think we all kind of seen it. We all who? I mean, y'all had Mello? I mean, I think we all kind of seen it. We all who? I mean, y'all had Mello, but I seen this coming.
Starting point is 00:19:10 You did. You called it. Yep, you did. In the West. He called it for sure. We got SGA, Steph, Brian, KD, Joker. Of those two squads, which one of y'all think going to get the job done? Man, off the strength is the West.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Off the strength? We way colder. I know they're doing the little, not the weird, but the team should split up, the 3-8 teams and stuff like that, whatever. But just off the east file, going against each other, who getting a dub in the game? We better at every position. Who is we?
Starting point is 00:19:38 Just making sure. West. Okay, got you. Line them up. SGA, Jalen Brunson. Yeah, the West got, it's a Hall of Fame. I mean, all of these dudes probably gonna Brunson. Yeah. The West got as a hall of fame. I mean, all of these dudes probably gonna make the hall of fame, but this is like a first ballot crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:52 All of like, all these dudes that won MVP. Shade about to win his first this year, but. Yeah, bro. That's an all MVP team. Team full of MVPs is crazy. But that East team ain't no slouch, man. They about probably get a game, actually play hard for real. The West team is chilling. Yeah, they team ain't no slouch, man. They probably get a game and actually play hard for real.
Starting point is 00:20:05 The West team is chilling. Yeah, they got a lot of younger players. They might play harder, but that's all. Come on, bro. Stop the show. The camera died.
Starting point is 00:20:14 That's what Chad said. They said we got team with cameras. He's going to say, what? Why are they lying? Why did Chad say freaky like that, though?
Starting point is 00:20:23 Like they're saying mustard. That's what he said. Although they play Mike Ayrton, so fuck up out here for sure. But for starters, we talk about LaMelo on the pod about that. How you feel about Wimby? Should Wimby have been a starter? It's okay to not be one right now. 76 has got a solid dub this weekend.
Starting point is 00:20:42 It beat the Cavs by three. 132 to 129. PG had 30 ands by three. 1.30 to the 1.29. PG had 30 and 5. Tyrese Maxey had 29 and 7. I know we've been giving them a lot of slack, but that was a hell of a win for the 76ers for sure, man.
Starting point is 00:20:53 It was. It was. But, you know, that's... Take away the grain of salt. Let's get a lottery pick, guys. Man, I was laughing. They showed Paul George
Starting point is 00:21:01 in his truck yesterday calling a celebration after the game. I would have been pissed. Oh, yeah. Them motherfuckers all over his car, man. He was like... I would have been pissed, too, though.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And they're already not the happiest with him, so that's a bad sign. If they was winning right now, all right, he might have been all right, but nah, they like, nah, you losing right now, we definitely going, we ain't getting out your way, nigga.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Nah, just be cool, bro. Take a long way home for sure. T-Wills beat the Nuggets 133-104. How you feel about that dub, man? Man, I think the locker room is back. We still sad, though. Your locker room is back? Yeah, I think we back.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Shouts and hands. It's a good win, though. Yeah, definitely. Great celebration. Definitely a good win. He had 34 for sure. Rob Dillingham getting quality minutes. He went crazy in the first half of that game for sure.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Man, I like that. He's trying to incorporate the young talent. I imagine we'll probably see Terrence Shannon a little bit later on, but Rob taking advantage, man. As he should.
Starting point is 00:21:51 I mean, when the opportunity comes, you got to show up and show out. He doing that. Most definitely. Like you said, a spark that they needed
Starting point is 00:21:58 offensively. He's definitely comfortable and now you can see that confidence getting there. Yeah, man. Rob, I'd love to see the minutes for him, man.
Starting point is 00:22:04 T-Woods, they still might need to make a move, bro. They've been giving J.R. a lot of flack. He had a solid game with 21-7-7, but they still like, eh, this ain't it. If somebody want him, y'all can come get him. Well, I feel like that's the problem. They want somebody to come get him, but ain't nobody pulling up.
Starting point is 00:22:19 We ain't fucked up about it. We fuck with J.R., but if he gotta be on the block for us to get another quality piece, fuck it. Okay, respect. I ain't mad at him. Foot show. Celtics beat the Mavs 122-107.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Simple situation. Belt to ass. Nothing much to talk about there. The Rockets beat the Cavs as well. You know what I'm saying? Cavs slipped a couple games, but Young Rockets looking good, man. 135-131.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Thompson looking like he like that, bro. 23-14-10. Trippie Dubb. Nah, he legit, bro. 135 to 131. Thompson looking like he like that, bro. 23-14 to 10, trippy dub. Nah, he legit, bro. Yeah. So, he low-key a star. He's going to be tough. Jabari Smith, he good, but I don't know if he can be able to get that spot back. Yeah, there's no way that you can take him to the bench now.
Starting point is 00:22:59 No way. Damn, you can't even six-man him? Nah, bro. He's doing too much, bro. He's got Reed Shepard in the G League right now. Ain't no room for him? Nah, nah. Reed's down there getting a rep sent just because, like you said,
Starting point is 00:23:11 Frank Redfield playing so well. Nah, yeah. I'm just saying, though, y'all don't think he can just be like a Manu Ginobili six-man? Nah, bro. Thompson. He needs to be on the court, bro, at all times. Nah. How would you play it, bro?
Starting point is 00:23:25 He really a star, bro. Jabari Smith is a good player, but he's more of a role player. I think he averaged 12, 13 points, somewhere around there. He can shoot the ball, but he's not been shooting it super great. Play defense, hasn't been the greatest defender. This dude, great defender. Can score. Look like a great rebounder.
Starting point is 00:23:49 He ain't Scotty Pippen for sure. I was just asking, how would you adjust the lineup, though? I would keep this lineup. Jabari Smith, you got to get where you fit in, boy. Okay, okay. Pull the butt on him. You got to fit into this rotation. Facts, bro. He playing great. Playing amazing, bro. That's the shitty thing about in, boy. Yeah, okay. Okay. Pull the butt on him. Yeah. You got to fit into this rotation. Facts, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:05 He playing great. Playing amazing, bro. That's the shitty thing about injuries, though. Yeah. Next man up, start killing and get wicked. Yeah, look, Jabari averaged 11. Yeah, he having a rough year, but yeah. I mean, shooting 36 from the three.
Starting point is 00:24:18 35. What was that, 35? That was like, God, though. I get it. I get it. When they drop that list next year of best players in the NBA, Thompson's going to probably be in the top 60. And yeah, that has to start.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Because that's going to be the next best player. Okay. Yeah, he nice, bro. Shout out to Young Rockets for sure, man. Knicks got the dub, beat the Kings 143 to 120 as well. Listen, man, they just a scary team, man. Like you said, as long as they don't have to limp across the finish line,
Starting point is 00:24:45 that Knicks team is very, very solid, man. Shout out to them getting two All-Star starters as well. Remember some dark days for Knicks fans, but now they got two killers. I like them. Yeah, I just, you know what I say. As long as they healthy, they going to be straight. Most definitely. Clippers beat the Bucs 127-117.
Starting point is 00:25:02 James Harden went crazy with a 40-ball non-assist. And Peasy had 33-6. I seen you on the post. I know you was ready to talk about that. Yeah, you know. Sada and that hoe can't be out of pocket. Shout out to my boy Moon and them. But, yeah, y'all disrespectful, bro.
Starting point is 00:25:19 That's an all-star right there, bro. They've been clipping that up, too. Shout out to Sada. They be like, Sada got relaxed on M-Peasy. Yeah. If he don't make the all-star game, bro, it'sstar right there, bro. They've been clipping that up, too. Shout out to Sada. They be like, Sada got relaxed on M-Peasy. Yeah. If he don't make the all-star game, bro, it's an armed robbery, bro. Yeah. I'm with you with that one, bro.
Starting point is 00:25:31 He might deserve to make that team for real. Damn. But I think James Harden does, too. But Norman Powell definitely deserves to be an all-star. He's having a hell of a year. Hell of a year. I wanted to ask you about this. We'll see the reserves coming soon.
Starting point is 00:25:44 But is Dameard going to be on that list? I know they say it's real tough for the point guards out east right now. I think he's going to make it. I think he should. I don't know, though. I think LaMelo missed his chance with not being a starter. I think
Starting point is 00:25:59 they're probably going to bypass him. Yeah, because I don't see a world where Damian Lillard's not an All-Star, especially with the numbers he's getting and what he produced. He got to be an All-Star. For sure. Yeah, because I don't see a world where Damian Lillard's not an all-star, especially with the numbers he's getting and what he produced. Yeah. He got to be an all-star. For sure. Yeah, 25, yeah. Yeah, 25, 8, and 5.
Starting point is 00:26:11 That would be insane if he didn't make the all-star game. Yeah, at least Lamella is a small forward. Reclassify? Yeah. Reclassify for the all-star game is great. Yeah, we're big enough, Paul. Hey, yo.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I ain't doing that this time. And last but not least, yesterday's game, the Thunder beat the Blazers 1-18 to 1-08. S.J. had 35-5. J. Will had 24-8, man. Hopefully my boy get an all-star nod, man. I know it ain't a lot of spots out west, bro, but come on, man.
Starting point is 00:26:38 He having a great year. He gonna be a max player, so... He ain't tripping on it. He on that Jamal Murray. It don't matter if I get an all-star bid, I got a max deal. That's what it's about, so. He ain't tripping on it. He ain't tripping. He on that Jamal Murray. It don't matter if I get an All-Star bid, I got a max deal. That's what it's about, shit. I think that's crazy that he's never made an All-Star team, but like you said, it'd get wicked out west, especially
Starting point is 00:26:53 the guard position at the time. As long as you get maxed out, bro, we don't care. Yeah. Yeah, get that paper straight up. A lot of games tonight, man. I want to see how y'all feel about them. Lakers at Hornets. Ooh, Lakers. Lakers. Histons at Cavs.

Starting point is 00:28:32 And if it's so sad to deal, it might be acquiring him. I don't know how that works with Zach Levine in that situation, but that was just interesting to see. Hopefully it's the third team involved. I hope it's a couple more, because that's a nasty trade, however that ends up. But more to come for sure. Hawks at T-Wolves.
