Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an iHeart Podcast. The Volume. Good morning. Happy Tuesday. It's 520 in the morning. Your favorite sports show. Here to keep you updated on everything sports related, especially basketball. I'm your host.
Starting point is 00:00:17 My name is DJ Willis. Joined by my esteemed co-host to my left. I got my brother, Bishop Hendricks, to my right. Teague. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing today? Chilling, brother. Let's get to it, baby. Yeah, cool and nasty today? Chilling, brother. Let's get to it, baby.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Hey, cool and nasty, let's get to it. They started off, they said, the copyright laws between days, they said, you gonna sue him like Drake? Who knew it'd be like this? What's up with y'all boy Drake? What he on? What he doing? Aw, man. That's a podcast question.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Nah, it's bringing down his legacy. We here. Is it bringing down his legacy? Is that some hoe ass shit? Some people's always funny. But obviously, this is a bigger play than some personal stuff. This is a big business play. Probably above my pay grade to understand, to be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Man, he's a hoe. Fuck all that. That's weak, bro. Just rap, bro. Get in the booth, bro. Like Lotto said, get in the booth. Yeah, it's crazy, man. I hate he doing that.
Starting point is 00:01:06 But whatever. Who knew it'd be like this? Hey, man. Listen, Celtics back in full power. Porzingis returned last night. And they beat the Seas off the Clippers by 32 yesterday. Came back with a smooth 16. Did y'all catch the game last night?
Starting point is 00:01:19 I didn't catch that one, but damn. That's crazy. Listen, man. I knew the vibes. I told y'all. You did, but. I did. Listen, man. I knew the vibes. I told y'all. You did, but. I did. Listen, man, we always knew that this was going to happen,
Starting point is 00:01:29 and we knew that the Celtics already looked amazing, but him coming back last night with that team, man, ain't nobody want nothing to do with Boston right now, man. It's pretty evident at this point. We're going to talk about how great they play, because they just keep finding ways to invent and make history and keep killing. And I ain't going to say under the radar,
Starting point is 00:01:47 but we're talking about a lot more teams that we talk about the boston celtics and i guess is it just expected at this point to say champions i mean they just they're new gold state warriors bro they about to go another round like that yeah they're gonna go on the run hopefully uh they can go back to back three in a row whatever but they got the team to do it I mean getting Porzingis back another rim protector another shot maker they shoot 53's already a game then you get another
Starting point is 00:02:10 another great shooter that can shoot it from deep but like they team just get better and better each day for sure
Starting point is 00:02:19 and listen we talking about so many options that you have obviously we know who one of two is who would y'all say is the third option on this Celtics team
Starting point is 00:02:24 or does it even matter? They probably don't even care, I don't think. I mean, it can change every game. One day it can be Drew. One day Derek White. Now Peyton Pritchard's in the mix. And then another day it could be Porzingis. So then Al Horford, he comes out of nowhere and has big games too.
Starting point is 00:02:40 So they just got a well-rounded team, man, with a bunch of guys that can make shots. Yeah, man, that's one of them teams that just like, y'all don't need nothing, y'all just got to stay healthy. Like you said,
Starting point is 00:02:49 getting poor tickets back before Thanksgiving. Now he's well rested, you know what I'm saying, since he hasn't played since the finals. But it's just crazy because you look at this team
Starting point is 00:02:56 yesterday, the second quarter, they go 12 from 17 from three. That's dangerous, bro. And you don't look at that team thinking that they're an elite three-point shooting team, but realistically they are
Starting point is 00:03:04 because they produce, man. I mean, Peyton Pritchard, he's coming into the game just to do that. Yeah, he's a sniper. Yeah, so. They got all their role players can shoot, which is crazy, which is dangerous. I mean, it's today's formula, but they like executed that to a tee. Shout out to Brad, man. And what's crazy is like, I mean, injuries is part of the game,
Starting point is 00:03:23 but they got so much talent and so many people that can play. If an injury, you know, happens, they got enough depth to be like, be able to cover.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Like, KD getting hurt for the Suns, hurt the Suns. Real decease. For Zingas being out for Celtics. All right.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You know what I mean? A lot of people low-key forgot he was on the squad. Oh, my mama, bro. For real. People forgot he was on the team. So for him to come bro. For real. People forgot he was on the team. So for him to come back and then to clap to him like this, it's wicked.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I mean, what's so crazy is like, you'll have a spurt so you'll be like, dang, the Sussex is cold. And then you'll see somebody come in and kill one. Like you said, Peyton Pritchard come in randomly, hit six threes one game. And next thing you know, same house will go for seven. You'll be like, somebody going to kill tonight.
Starting point is 00:04:02 It don't even matter who it is, but they just going to find a way to win, man. They got too many pieces, bro. Man, listen, we talked about the Clippers, you know what I'm saying? They just ran into a great team. Harden still killed last night, 19-8-9, almost a trippy dub. Derek White, another 19-piece, man. It's just crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:17 They're going to do this to a lot more teams going forward, man. Is there anybody in the East right now you think could deal with them in the series? No. Not in the series, no. Okay, so who's the team in the East who now you think could deal with them in the series? No. Not in the series, no. Okay, so who's the team in the East who could give them the best series? Probably the Cavs. I think they fit for it. They got enough people to play with them.
Starting point is 00:04:35 The way they built, Evan Mobley can guard on the perimeter. Not most teams can do that. Giannis can, but Brooke Lopez is a handicap. He can't guard on the perimeter. Jared Alley can guard on the perimeter somewhat, but Evan Mobley is different. He can guard Jalen Brown or Jason Tatum, and it's not like,
Starting point is 00:04:55 what is he doing out there? Nobody else can do that. I was thinking that too. I'm a star of Paris, so I wanted to say Milwaukee because Giannis has a lot to deal with in the playoff series. Him and Dame can go win you a playoff game for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:08 But like you said, the versatility on the wings is just different. And you need that for that team. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if Giannis can consistently guard.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I was just about to say that. Yeah. I was just literally about to say that. They're too deep, bro. Ain't no team they dimmer. And once the playoffs start, bro, they might lose two games.
Starting point is 00:05:24 And we'll get to this team a little bit later. Do you think the Knicks could dimmer. And once the playoffs start, bro, they might lose two games. And we'll get to this team a little bit later, but do you think the Knicks could match up with them in the playoffs at all? Just from a personnel standpoint since they kind of built that team to have enough
Starting point is 00:05:31 wings to combat them? Nah, bro. Nah, it's too much. The chemistry ain't there yet for the Knicks. The Knicks get it together probably, but it's probably a wrap.
Starting point is 00:05:41 You know why? Because if they start Porzingis, Cat gonna have to switch all ball screens because Porzingis shoots Cat going to have to switch all ball screens. Because Porzingis shoots all threes. Mm-hmm. And if Cat got a guard, Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, Jared White.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Put a ball on him. Yeah. Christmas tree. Yeah. And we know Cat like to foul, too. Yeah. For sure, man. Listen, more star power return.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Jaws back. Man, came back yesterday for the team. 22-11. Grisham took care of the Blazers, 123-98. Belt to ass. Listen, anytime Ja Morant plays basketball, you need to tap in because his first game back, he already giving out highlights, man. No, Ja.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Ja Morant's that guy. One of the most exciting players in the NBA, man. Who more exciting, him or LaMelo? I know we ain't there yet, but just. You know what? That's not a bad question what that's not a bad question it's not a bad question I feel like the unfair
Starting point is 00:06:27 part of that question is because Charlotte doesn't get as much exposure as John because we're going to talk about LaMelo a little bit later in the show LaMelo be doing some shit
Starting point is 00:06:34 he be doing some OD basketball shit like the basketball fan that step back is ridiculous bro that's first of all after he came off the screen
Starting point is 00:06:42 on Gunga Bataza dribbled like 8 times and rolled like NBA Street. And then the snatch back one foot fadeaway three, bro. Yeah. That's crazy. John Moran is just more athletic.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Oh, yeah. I mean, John Moran's dunk last night was crazy, bro. I mean, that helps a lot so far as the excitement conversation. But I'm taking LaMelo. And we ain't even get to the best highlight,
Starting point is 00:07:01 the no look behind the back. You know what I'm saying? In the paint. Yeah, that's crazy. We had a conversation on the pod about who was a better passer between LaMelo and Tyrese. Who a better passer
Starting point is 00:07:09 between Jai and LaMelo? LaMelo. Nah, Jai was like... Nah, bro. That's Jai game. Highlights and passing. Like, dunking and passing, that's his game.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Bro, he can't pass the ball, bury the LaMelo ball. Y'all wildin'. Jai Moran's a hell of a point guard. I'm not disrespectful, but his eye is different, bro. Nah, that's what Ja do. Lomelo eye different, bro.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I'm sleep. Nah, I think the difference for me in the conversation is I've seen Ja have to create so much for his team and distribute. It may not always look as pretty as Lomelo's,
Starting point is 00:07:41 but I've seen him have to distribute the ball just for them to get a chance to get buckets in the playoffs. He averaged 10 assists in college. That's what made me like him as a player is the way he get his team involved.
Starting point is 00:07:54 The athleticism. I didn't even think he was a great scorer because he couldn't shoot, really. I was like, man, he was a good point guard. He can make plays. He's so athletic. He willed that team, for sure. But his scoring developed more. You know what I mean? But his eye, his
Starting point is 00:08:09 passing, that's what made him good. He's more important to his team than LaMelo. But so far, his passion. Nah. John can take over a game better than LaMelo. I thought LaMelo always was a scorer.
Starting point is 00:08:25 I always looked at LaMelo. I thought LaMelo always was a scorer. The Grizzlies are trash. I always looked at LaMelo as a scorer. Like, ever since I ever heard of LaMelo, all he ever got was buckets. Yeah, 90 in high school. He's a bucket getter. Yeah. Volleyball on threes. Yeah, but all I ever heard about him,
Starting point is 00:08:37 I never heard about passing. Because that superseded his passing ability, I mean, to the eye. But I really think, bro, he's dynamic. I don't know what he's averaging for the year for assists bro but he one of the best point guards
Starting point is 00:08:49 in the league for a reason bro and it's not just cause of the score he definitely a capable passer but it's a difference between like a passing point guard and a point guard
Starting point is 00:08:58 that can pass LaMelo a point guard that can pass cause he really a scorer you giving him James Harden like I think he's in Trey Young like like Trey Young got a crazy eye like LaMelo a point guard that can pass because he really a scorer. You giving him James Harden like? I think he's in Trey Young like.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Like, Trey Young got a crazy eye. Like, he can pass, pass. But LaMelo more of a scorer that I can make two people guard me. I got enough skill
Starting point is 00:09:16 to get two people to guard me and I can find an open man. So you'll throw him like in a Russell Westbrook or a James Harden type. Yeah. He not,
Starting point is 00:09:24 you gonna put Jai with like Chris Paul. Yeah, Jai. They like that. Because you got to think, like Rondo the best passer. Because you got to think. Yeah. People was guarding Rondo at the free throw line, under the free throw line.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Kind of same thing they do with Jai Morant. They go under a lot. Yeah. And they got to navigate. Like you seen that pass he threw last night. He get stuck in the lane. He turn his way up behind his back. They got, that's how they had to play. Because they were never pass he threw last night. He gets stuck in the lane. He turns his way and throws it behind his back. They got it.
Starting point is 00:09:46 That's how they had to play because they were never known as scorers and shooters or whatever. But LaMelo always had a burner. Like since he was a Jets. So, you know what I mean? It's like Steph Curry effect.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Like I can shoot so good so I get two people on me. I can make you close out and now you have my mercy. And I'm a good enough player to throw dimes. Like Lonzo had a better eye than
Starting point is 00:10:05 Mello yeah I'll give you that I'll give you that I like that breakdown I'll roll with that and the way the Hornets have to win with the Mello scoring he shot 30 shots last night these niggas only had 84 so shit
Starting point is 00:10:21 which I want me to do we gonna break that game down a little bit later. I'm expecting it, but I'm saying, like, I'm a scorer. If you can shoot 30 times, you a scorer. That's not including free throws. Not including free throws at all. Before we get off this topic, man, the Grizzlies at full strength. Are they dangerous in the West?
Starting point is 00:10:37 No. No, you— You know, the job factor ain't good enough to get them to get a first-round win? I love—look, I love y'all. I told y'all at the beginning of the season, he is the most important player to any team in the NBA, bro. What he does for that Memphis Grizzlies team, like, I don't know. When he's not there, bro, it's a sucking place, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:55 So I just don't see them competing with the Dallas Mavericks or whoever else is up there. They can't beat the Denver Nuggets, bro. They fuck around good sweat. It's just hard for me to see them being healthy the whole year. Yeah. Because we haven't seen it in a while. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:10 And I'll ask, what piece do they need to be contenders in the West? They need two. Like y'all just said, Porzingis leaving. We almost forgot Porzingis is on Celtics, bro. There's nobody. Of course, you can't replace y'all, but there's nobody to fill that void just a little bit until he get back. If he's out for the season, they might be
Starting point is 00:11:28 a lottery pick. You know what I'm saying? But that's what I'm saying. They need probably like two or three more players, bro. For real. I think Ja needs another all-star. You got Jaron Jackson Jr. Obviously he's been in that situation. A really good, big, young talent in the league.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Who without Ja, though? I'm saying they need another wing. I mean, you got Jaron Jackson Jr. Obviously, he's been in that situation. A really good, big, young talent in the league. Who would out-jog though? I'm saying they need another wing. They need another off-center. I can't even see another player that could be dynamic to be with them. Could they use a Cam Thomas? Somebody who can come off the bench and just get FGAs up? They could use Zach Levine.
Starting point is 00:12:01 They need somebody who can score, bro. Yeah, I wouldn't be mad. That's a good thing. Zach Levine ain't in a bad situation, though. No, that's interesting. We'll look on that subject for sure. They need somebody who can score the ball. When Jai out, like y'all said, he draws the defense so much. You in the NBA, bro, so if I pass to you, bro,
Starting point is 00:12:17 hopefully you'll make this motherfucker. But he needs somebody to take over the game. Like, Jai, let me see it, bro. Take a rest. You know what I'm saying? I got it, bro. Sit down. I can carry the third quarter. Get your rest in the fourth. Like, John, let me see it, bro. Take a rest. You know what I'm saying? I got it, bro. Sit down. I can carry the third quarter.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Get your rest in the fourth. Yeah, that's interesting for sure. Hey, man, the Knicks beat the sleeves off the Nuggets last night. 1-45, 1-18. OG and Inouye. 40 points, man. Fresh off the Big 3 conversation. We slid it in.
Starting point is 00:12:38 We showed us he in there. I wonder why the Africans was in my DMs. I didn't know that. Oh, because of OG? Yeah. I thought it was the New Dash comment. I didn't know it was OG. They was just like, we'll be here. Why don't you tap in with OG? My fault. I didn't know that. Oh, because of OG? Yeah. I thought it was a New York Ashcom man. I didn't know it was an OG. They was just like,
Starting point is 00:12:46 we'll be here watching Tapia with OG. My fault. I'm out of pocket. OG had a 40 ball yesterday and went crazy. Cat, 30 and 15. Went 12 for 15
Starting point is 00:12:54 from the field goals. Jalen Bruston, 23 and 17. We slotted that big three yesterday. They put the built ass to the nuggets last night, man. Cat is cold to the... Yeah, Cat be killing, bro. Cat be killing, man.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I say it all the time. One of the coldest players I ever played with is just his voice, bro. That's it. That is crazy, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:13 30 on 15, man. Is Cat in shape or out of shape? Shit, he look like he in shape. Cat build crazy. It be okay building a build
Starting point is 00:13:22 the same, bro. That's crazy. Nah, but he really be killing, bro. He's super, super efficient. For sure, bro. He cold, bro. Damn. I mean, Joker had a light night
Starting point is 00:13:31 having 22-7-7, you know. Bad night for him. But shout out to Russell Westbrook, man. He may hit the... Yeah, that's crazy, dude. Joker's light night is 22-7-7. Niggas would dream for them career averages.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Right. But show some love to Russell, man. He went crazy yesterday in the fourth at 24 points, man. Only two other people have done it over the age of 36. That's MJ and Jamal Crawford, man. All right, Russ.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Russ special. I know he... For him, he a winner, bro. I don't think he... He probably don't give a damn. The way they got smacked, he just out there hooping. Hey, I still...
Starting point is 00:14:02 Hey, listen, man. The Lakers years, the way they disrespected him, bro, for him to go kill like he did yesterday, I'm happy just to have no moments for Russell Westbrook, bro. He's making them accolades, bro.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I see the video where he was saying AD was soft. Yeah, he was talking crazy. Yeah, he was talking crazy. He a winner, bro. I like that. I told you,
Starting point is 00:14:18 I don't be making this shit. I don't be making it up. That's how Westbrook talk, bro. I believe it. He goes crazy, bro. I believe it. He goes crazy, bro. I believe it. Remember that game where they,
Starting point is 00:14:26 I think it was one of the first games they played Golden State where KD was there and that's getting smacked and he was still talking shit about it in the third quarter. He was like, I'm still coming, pause.
Starting point is 00:14:32 He was just like, bro, look at the scoreboard. We 30-balling y'all. He's like, nah, bro, I'm still killing y'all. It's like, Russ just on that. He on that all the time.
Starting point is 00:14:39 That probably fuel him to play, though. Hell yeah. But I think what's dope about it is everybody talks about him off the court, too. They're like, yeah, on the court, Russ gonna compete. He's a great teammate, but off the court, he a solid yeah. What I think is dope about it is everybody talks about him off the court, too. They're like, yeah, on the court, Red's going to compete. He's a great teammate, but off the court, he's a solid one. And I think that's universal, right? Like you said, he takes the game seriously, but off the court, he's a real one, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I heard good things about him, for sure. For sure, man. Look, Knicks, five of the last six, man, they getting dubs. They catching some chemistry. What's going on? They trying to figure it out, I see. Getting a road win in Denver is so tough because of all the sacrifices you got to make like the day before.
Starting point is 00:15:11 You got to go run in Denver. Like, you got to go to the court and like real-life sprint because of the altitude. So you got to like try to catch your breath and all that stuff the day before. It's like that's not normal for an NBA player to go run sprints and stuff the day before a game. like that's not normal for an NBA player to go run sprints and stuff the day before a game.
Starting point is 00:15:27 But you got to do that in Denver. Damn, that's game. I never knew that. Yeah, they were talking about the altitude. Defeating people. Like playing in Denver on a back-to-back is crazy. I heard about that part. I'm just saying this nigga talking about you got a Usain Bolt out there.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Nah, you do. You got guys trying to like catch a win. Because it's where like Hakeem Olajuwon couldn't even play there. He had to sit out games there because he couldn't catch his breath. But the day before, they tell you, man, they called this little man. This little man going to hop on your hip, bro. And you ain't going to be able to breathe.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I didn't believe it the first time I played there. But that first game, I tried to go out there. I was huffing and puffing. Couldn't catch my breath in the first quarter. But nine minutes on the clock, I'm like, I tried to go out there where I was huffing and puffing. Couldn't catch my breath in the first quarter, but like, nine minutes on the clock. I'm like, I need to sub.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Like, yeah, I told you, better sprint. Day before, so. Man. And it's kind of tough to sleep there, too. Man, like,
Starting point is 00:16:16 don't be a fat, like, like a heavier set dude. Damn. Hennessy, don't send us to Denver. The Ambrose NBA Cup is here, and you can win big. Getting in on the action at DraftKings Sportsbook,

Starting point is 00:17:06 that's why they used to smack people in the first quarter bro you'd be tired bro if you ain't tired boy they had the loud up there so between both of them boys in there taking L's and different boy
Starting point is 00:17:14 L's bro that's crazy alright what's crazy though is not to do that but like one of the guys that played for Denver
Starting point is 00:17:21 for a long time told me they'll play home games and then when they went on the road they they'd get used to our altitude, right? You're on a five-game road trip. Then when they go back home, they got to get back used to that again. So they'd be dead tired. I was like, damn.
Starting point is 00:17:37 That's crazy, bro. Yeah, you know what I mean? I'm like, damn. So we got to show more respect to Yoke because Yoke is up there killing, you know what I'm saying, with a disadvantage low-key. Yeah, because he's definitely not in shape. Who more in shape, him or Cavs?
Starting point is 00:17:47 He probably in the best shape, though, now as he play up there. Like Kobe and him used to go train in the altitude in the summer. Damn, boy. That's tough.
Starting point is 00:17:56 All right, y'all. I'm going to ask y'all to rank these Eastern Conference teams. We got the Bucs, the Cavs, the Celtics, and the Knicks. Who at four? Bucs.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Bucs at four, but we got at three. Knicks. Knicks. Who at four? Bucks. Bucks at four? Well, we got at three. Knicks. Knicks. Cavs. Cavs 2-2. Okay. Now, of those, outside of taking the Celtics out,
Starting point is 00:18:16 who do you think will win between the Knicks and the Cavs in the series? Cavs. Are they on Cavs? I'm going to say the Knicks because I think that's a better matchup for the Knicks. Break it down, Nasty. I think they match up well because, like you said, they got wings and stuff like that. But, like, the Knicks got Cat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Like, he's a definite 30 points. Yeah, and Jared Allen coming out that paint guard cap. Yeah, Jared Allen got a guard cap. It's different than guarding Porzingis. Yeah. Like, Porzingis is a stretch five. He going to get 15, 16 points. Cat getting 40.
Starting point is 00:18:56 In and out. Yeah, you know what I mean? He going to the three, the block. Then you got Jalen Brunson, who's a little different than the Celtics. Like, he's a point guard. Dominate the ball. You got a guard pick and roll all the block. Then you got Jalen Brunson, who's a little different than the Celtics. He's a point guard. Dominate the ball. You got a guard pick and roll all the time. You can't switch Darius Garland on Cat
Starting point is 00:19:13 or OG and Anobi. Blah, blah, blah. But with the Celtics, he can kind of hide a little bit. Because of Drew and Derek White, they're kind of more of his size. You know what I mean? He can guard them. But the Knicks is a little bit because of Drew and Derek White. They kind of more of his size. Like, you know what I mean? He can guard them.
Starting point is 00:19:27 But the Knicks is a little different. Jalen Brunson post up. He played super aggressive. Ain't going to get you in foul trouble too. And then OGN
Starting point is 00:19:35 and Obie's 6'9", 6'8". Mike Hill Bridges 6'8". They got big wings that are a little more paint driven
Starting point is 00:19:46 I would say hmm Boston Celtics shoot a lot of threes yeah it's a little bit easier for them to go high on the wing and switch off
Starting point is 00:19:53 and fade to the corner because you know how they go with JT and JB I think the one thing that people are interested about the Cavs is like yeah early success
Starting point is 00:19:59 everybody rocking with they're like are they going to be that one team that has a great regular season but they get in the playoffs and realize
Starting point is 00:20:04 alright y'all played out your mind but when it comes down to matchups y'all can't really just beat this, are they going to be that one team that has a great regular season, but they get in the playoffs and realize, all right, y'all played out your mind, but when it comes down to matchups, y'all can't really just beat this team. Is that trying to say that 2015? Boy. Oh, we made it to the Eastern Conference finals. I wasn't going to put that someone on y'all. Y'all killed differently than them. Y'all was whooping shit, bro. I ain't going to put the validation on them yet.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Well, they was too. The Cavs were too. But I just think, I don't know, man. We ran into Bron, though. I gotta say, they killed the whole season, too. So I gotta show them some love. And we ran into Bron.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Yeah, I did. Bron different. That Bron, yeah. Yeah, they can put up the J.R. Smith clips in the game for y'all. We'll talk about that on the podcast one day.
Starting point is 00:20:39 But last but not least, Nuggets. Is they tight on their clothes, man? Do they need to make another addition or they just need to get to the playoffs? That'd be cool, bro. Let's get them to the playoffsuggets. Are they tied up with no clothes, man? Do they need to make another addition, or do they just need to get to the playoffs? That'd be cool, bro.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Let's get them to the playoffs. Okay. I'd say Lou. Yeah, go ahead. I think losing Caldwell Pope hurt them, though. Like, that chemistry that they had, I think it might just— No, they might have run their course now, bro. I hear—what's my boy Murray saying?
Starting point is 00:21:03 Like, they ain't focused and stuff like that. Like, spending days like that. Ah. Like spending days in LA. That much? Ah, Jamal Murray on that? Nah, he said that he was like, when they got blown out, he was like,
Starting point is 00:21:11 man, we not even focused, bro. We stayed an extra day in LA after beating them. We ain't focused. And when you start hearing stuff like that, maybe it light a fire under your team a little bit.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Like, let's lock in. Yeah. But that's just chemistry. Like, or you know what I mean? Stuff that they don't... Staying an extra day in LA is crazy. It's just chemistry. Or, you know what I mean? Stuff that they don't... Staying the extra day in L.A. is crazy. It's sometimes necessary.
Starting point is 00:21:28 We talk about the home court endeavor, man. Sometimes L.A. undefeated, too. Yeah. But that's crazy that he said that the way that he started this season. Obviously, somebody responded to that. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Like... And P.J. gonna come out and buy it. We've been locked in the NFL. I hope that locker room ain't breaking down. Because that'll matter. I doubt.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Especially with the type of coach they got, bro. I imagine it's Because that'll matter. I doubt, especially with the type of coach they got, bro. I imagine it's probably Austin and Tech. I think he's just trying to light a fire under his team. Like, let's get rolling because we better than this.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Be better than that, Jamal Murray. Cover these parlays. You've been playing in my face all season, bro. You get these interviews. Josh Hart told y'all yesterday on Twitter
Starting point is 00:22:00 he does not care about y'all parlays. Well, if you're taking anything to overrun Josh Hart, then you probably need to call the number in the hotline. He was speaking for the NBA. No, we speak about him taking the unders.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I'm taking the over on his rebounds. Now I cat there now. Oh, I forgot. Take the under. Yeah, yeah, take the under. Can't get all the rebounds. For sure, man. The Thunder took care of the Kings yesterday.
Starting point is 00:22:19 1-30-109-SGA, 37-11. That's light. Light day. He is crazy bro light day the new J Will 28 and 5 man all star ballot him bro
Starting point is 00:22:30 I swear he gonna keep playing like this he gonna have to get in the all star game man he is an all star okay talk about it and if he don't make the all star team he gonna get paid like one
Starting point is 00:22:37 Jalen Williams killing right now yeah paying like one paying like one 22, 6 and 5 yeah that's all
Starting point is 00:22:43 that's ASG bro show love Isaiah Hardenstein do what he do best 19 and 10 DeMar DeRozan Like one. Pay him like one. All 22, 6, and 5. Yeah. That's all. ASG, bro. Show love. Isaiah Hardenstein doing what he do best, 19 and 10. DeMar DeRozan killed yesterday, 30 and 6. But, man. The Kings struggling. Kings are struggling, man.
Starting point is 00:22:54 You know what I'm saying? They've been losing a couple. But if Isaiah Hardenstein going to do this, imagine what they're going to do when Chet get back. They're going to dominate the paint, bro. It's over, bro. I got to see how they play together, though. I have to see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:08 You can stagger them. That's the scariest team, bro. The thing I like about OKC coach, though, he said he don't got a set starting lineup. So he said, I'll start anybody.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Like, I might start Hardenstein, Wittchett. I might not. It don't matter. Like, whatever the game say. Yeah, if everybody on the same court, bro,
Starting point is 00:23:26 that's a scary team. They damn near just as deep as Boston. Hmm. That's interesting. They are, though. I don't know. That's interesting. That's a deep team.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Eight men. Eight, nine men in. They match up. I ain't going to say they match up. They do match up well because Lou Doris started making threes. Yeah. He's shooting a high three now.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yeah, he can guard. Caruso. I mean, he ain't Drew, but you know what I'm saying? That type of moment. Derek White type role. Yeah, similar. I'm telling y'all. But Jalen Williams is more of a Derek White.
Starting point is 00:23:54 He get blocked. That's a fact. He do a little bit of everything. I think he a better, I ain't going to say a better player. I like Jalen Williams more, but they very similar of a player yeah only thing that's hard with the Celtics mode
Starting point is 00:24:08 is that you got two elite wings like that with JB and JT because if you know you got SGA who's probably one of the best guards in the NBA should be the MVP
Starting point is 00:24:14 hopefully you know what I'm saying he can get it this year but that wing situation different when you gotta go between them two but they got two elite wings Jalen and
Starting point is 00:24:22 and SGA well if you count him as a guard, but I'm not, but if you're saying wings, I agree for sure. Chet cold, y'all. I know y'all not saying he sad, but he cold, y'all.
Starting point is 00:24:32 They front court, I think it's definitely in comparison with them for sure. But who, if Chet played a five, cool. Then Jalen at the four,
Starting point is 00:24:41 like Jalen can match up with JT. I can't play if Chet is at the five. Huh? I can't play if Chet is at the four. Like, Jalen can match up with JT. Al Horford can't play if Chet is at the five. Huh? Al Horford can't play if Chet is at the five. Why not? He can't guard him. Oh, that's what Al Horford do.
Starting point is 00:24:55 That might be a tough one. Yeah, that's what Al Horford do. Oh, no, no, no, no. I think that Chet's cooking him for sure, but... He is, bro. But I've just seen Al Horford compete in situations where I'm down to him. No disrespect, bro.
Starting point is 00:25:04 No, no, it's a great conversation, but after what he did to the Pacers last year, I'm not down to Al Horford ever again. That's just my PTSD. That's what he do. He gone. I love Al. That's Jeff Manns for sure. It ain't because of that. No, I'm not saying. I'm just saying. I don't want nobody to feel like I'm sliding
Starting point is 00:25:20 him. It's just different. Chet is different, bro. But Chet's supposed to be able to cook him. Right, he is, boy. But I'm's supposed to be able to cook, you know. Right, yeah. But I'm cool with Chet trying to go out with Horford. You take away, you know, like SGA having a rock going at it. Cool. That's fine. I would love to see that match up.
Starting point is 00:25:37 But it gets spooky after that. Like, it gets spooky. Like, Lou Doerr can guard Drew but Lou Dort gonna be on Jason Tatum yeah you don't have to yeah that's a then Jalen Williams
Starting point is 00:25:50 gonna be on Jalen Brown but depending on who hot that might be a game depending on who hot that Derek White and that that Derek White and Drew Holiday matchup
Starting point is 00:25:57 where it get kind of spooky like if you got yeah that's what I'm scared of Isaiah Joe Drew Holiday cook session oh yeah it's gonna have to be
Starting point is 00:26:04 for sure if y'all got what's his Carson Carson Wallace Isaiah Joe on Drew Holiday cook session. Oh, yeah. It's going to have to be Karrueche on NBA. Oh, Blender Mo. For sure. Or if y'all got, what's his, Carson or Eligar? Carson Wallace. Yeah. It get kind of spooky right there. That's when it start getting weird.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Because they fourth and fifth option are all-stars. The Celtics. Olympians. Yeah, Olympians. They just have a crazy ass. It's hard to compare them to anybody else. They team damn near not really fair, bro. I was just thinking that was the closest thing to them.
Starting point is 00:26:27 And then, like... Drew, Drew, fuck right, hit you for a 30 on accident. Yeah, bro, he gonna run off three threes in the third, bro, and blow the whole game up. Yeah, my bad, Wyclef. I forgot about you. Okay, we 4-5 option are, like, really good, solid players. We got Olympians and All-Stars.
Starting point is 00:26:44 100%. Yeah, it's just not. Celtics, we still here. My bad. What they say in the beam, once you're a Celtic, you always a Celtic. Shout out to Bill Simmons.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Who said that? I don't know. That's what they said in the beam. They told me. I didn't listen. I'm respect. Once you're a Celtic, you always a Celtic.
Starting point is 00:27:00 I will. A 55 is good for life. Shout out to E. Will. Oh, wait. Nah. What do the Thunder need to do to compete in the West, man? Just stay healthy? Yeah, they be cool.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Yeah, they be cool. They cool out there, bro. Yeah, get healthy. Oh, you're talking about John Morant? We cool in the West? Yeah. No, no, they are, bro. They going to make the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Oh, no, for sure. I mean, they're expected to be a top seed yeah they can get Shett back and Shett whatever his name is when they get him back I'd like to see that
Starting point is 00:27:32 whole dynamic okay but I think they're good though with Hardenstein playing like he's playing they're good double double machine with the Kings
Starting point is 00:27:39 we expected a little bit different results this year with DeMar they started off solid but they ain't been as good as late what the Kings need to do?
Starting point is 00:27:50 They got too much of the same position. And Malik Monk been out too, though. But, like, I haven't had Malik Monk. Kenyatta Ellis been playing a lot of minutes. Yeah, but I just feel like DeMar and... Keegan Murray. Yeah, it I just feel like DeMar and Keegan Murray. Yeah, it's like they all like these wings.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Yeah, Keegan Murray. I don't like Keegan Murray with DeMar. Keegan Murray cold, though. But I feel like they don't know when to let the other one shine for real. I mean, Debo is more of a scorer.
Starting point is 00:28:22 He can facilitate, too. And De'Aaron Fox is going to get buckets too. I just think there's a whole bunch of scorers on one team with no set roles. Yeah. You know what I mean? When Malik Monk get back, he coming in and get buckets. Kevin Herter, he want to get buckets.
Starting point is 00:28:38 It's like a whole bunch of wings. And they all shooting guards. Yeah, that's right. And then you got a scoring point guard. It's just like a weird blend. Yeah, they got to mix it up a little bit, man. I think they need less is more. They just had, I can see that, DeMar DeRozan
Starting point is 00:28:54 and De'Aaron Fox. Keegan Murray is a good player, but he's a catch and shoot type of guy. That matches Sabonis and somebody else another catch and shoot. Then they might have a different team. But when you got Kevin Herter, he else another catch and shoot then they might have a different team but when you got Kevin Herter
Starting point is 00:29:06 he's a catch and shoot player he can shoot but I play with Kevin he want the ball he want to run pick and rolls he want to he want to be the guy
Starting point is 00:29:16 then you got Malik Monk shit he a guy too he got paid to be the guy yeah so it's just a weird blend for sure man yeah
Starting point is 00:29:24 I gotta say my boy gotta get back healthy but give us some kings man yeah it's just a weird blend. For sure, man. Yeah, I was going to say, my boy got to get back healthy. But give us some Kings, man. Yeah. It's all good. Listen, man, we got a couple good games going on tonight. Start off with the Lakers and Suns. Now, KD without Brad Bill, man, what they going to do? I think they bet.
Starting point is 00:29:37 KD played tonight. Yeah. Oh, he playing tonight? Yes. Okay. Yeah, he bet. Him and Brad Bill, man. They've been 1-6 in their absence.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Or if our absence bill went down, they're going to bounce back. Oh, yeah, they smacking the Lakers tonight. Oh, okay. Lakers on a two-game losing streak, too. Yeah, I'm going to take the Suns, KD. Third time's a charm. Said he was looking good in practice, so I'm going to go with KD. 30-piece tonight.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Okay, so that's going to be in the behead parlay tonight, the crash out parlay? Yeah, KD with a 30-piece tonight for sure. All right. So who getting the dub tonight? I'm going with Sons. There's no question. My boy Bud looking old.
Starting point is 00:30:12 He's stressed out out there in Phoenix. I thought the weather was better. Yeah. Yeah, boy. Bud on the Marlboros. Bud looking like he'll be brown, boy. I'm getting water out there. I didn't do Bud like that.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I could have gave Bud a dad cap to throw on, man. Yeah, I'd have my man looking like that. He ain't that old, man. I would text you, man. I would make sure everything you're already
Starting point is 00:30:32 out there, man. I'm making stress in the mouth. All you want to do is smoke weed, get high. It ain't a lot to do with Phoenix, though. Shout out to Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Last night's game, we talked about it a little bit earlier, but the Magic beat the Hornets 95-84. Browns was killing. He had 21. La Last night's game, we talked about it a little bit earlier, but the Magic beat the Hornets 95-84. Browns was killing. He had 21. LaMelo had 44,
Starting point is 00:30:48 9-7. And B. Mill had 20. They had 64 of the Hornets, 84 last night. That's wicked, bro. I told you, you can't score 100 points,
Starting point is 00:30:58 bro, you're going to lose. You can't score 90, what is it? You suck. At this point, you trash. You can't score up 90 points in this NBA. In 48 minutes, that's tough.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And what's crazy is people are just like, why would LaMelo shoot that shot? He had 44. He can shoot whatever he want to shoot. If he's the only person scoring like this, don't ever ask me why I'm shooting this shot. What shot? The highlight.
Starting point is 00:31:18 The top of the key. LaMelo in Australia right now. He went back. Yeah. He shot 30 times last night. It's Chino Hills, bro. Straight up. That's how he who, bro?

Starting point is 00:31:44 How many assists he had? Seven. So that means all of them probably went to B shoot 30 shots. Yeah. How many assists he had? Seven. So that means all of them probably went to B-Mill. Yeah. That's crazy, them two. They out there having fun. I like that, bro. Hey, you ball.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Work on your stats, bro. It don't matter. I like that. Don't at all. The Pistons took care of the Raptors yesterday. 102 to 100. Jaden Ivey, you know what I'm saying, got the call. 25-8 yesterday with the game winner.

Playing that, what's that boy's name? Keely and Hayes. I'm nothing on over Jay and Ivy, bro. I'm nothing on Keely and Hayes ever playing.

Starting point is 00:33:32 to get the game winner. That's fire, bro. Shout out to Indiana, for sure. Pacers took care of the Pelicans yesterday. 114 to 110. Halliburton. We back my boy,
Starting point is 00:33:40 34 and 13. Something slight. There you go. I got to show some love to Alfred Payton, man. You know what I'm saying? He went on the roster since 2022. He came back last week because, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:48 the Pelicans, they need all the help they can get. My boy was killing yesterday, man. 14-7, 21 assists, man. That's amazing. Second most in the franchise behind Rondo.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Man, shout out to that man, bro. Man, he almost lost to the Pelicans, bro. We smoked that game, too. We was up big, too. We almost smoked that game, too. I like how he kept being persistent, though, because if I ain't been on the roster since 2022,
Starting point is 00:34:10 I probably would have went overseas or something. So I'm going to keep being persistent. I'm guessing he was doing the G League and stuff. Yeah, he was a Mad At, too, which made it funny. He was in Fort Wayne last year for the Pacers. And then, so, hey, listen, being ready, bro, taking the opportunity, man. We talked about, about like campaigning stuff

Starting point is 00:34:56 Respect the number that you win in the draft, bro. I'm asleep. Will Alvarado do better than him? I look at his stats to see if he's been back with the Pelicans. Go back, please. I think he only played two or three games. Will Alvarado do better than him? I look at his stats to see if he's been back with the Pelicans. Go back, please. I think he only played two or three games. Would Alvarado do better than him? Play basketball, bro.
Starting point is 00:35:09 9-5-11. He's killing, though, bro. Get that check. Get that extendo, bro, on that check, bro. And he guards just as good as Alvarado. And I ain't hating. I mean, none of them name my niggas, but I just watch basketball and I see them play. Alvarado became a fan
Starting point is 00:35:26 favorite because of that swiper steal and getting hyped and stuff. And he can hoop. I hate him. He can hoop. We love the energy guy. Yeah, he a straight energy guy. Don't start. He a straight energy guy. Energy guard, too. Energy guard, for real. You know, he got that T.J. McConnell.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Not as good as T.J., but he got that T.J. McConnell. Don't disrespect T.J. Nash like that. But Alfred Payton got that too, though. And you seen it last night. Nah, he was killing it, for sure. Trey Murphy came back, even though we didn't know. We recorded yesterday, smooth 24-piece, T.J. McCollum. Listen, Tyrese, two good games in a row.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Keep it going, my boy. Play the hoop, Tyrese. We need it, man. We need it. Because everybody else in the NBA coming back except for the players on our team. That's a good two-way win for the Pacers.
Starting point is 00:36:07 No cap. For sure. We was on True TV last night. The Master Carrier Hawks yesterday, 129 to 119. Kyrie went crazy. Yeah, I told y'all what needed to happen
Starting point is 00:36:16 for them to be a good team, though, and it happened. Facts. Everything that you said for the team to be successful yesterday was fully into fruition yesterday. You had a group performance and everybody shot. Jaden Hardy took the team to be successful yesterday was fully into fruition yesterday. You had a group performance in the air by a shot.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Jaden Hardy took the opportunity to the fullest and killed yesterday. All the role players took care of a double-digit situation. Kyrie took them home in the second half, man. Yeah, I told you Spencer Dinwiddie had to step up. You did say that. For him to be... Contributed last night, for sure.
Starting point is 00:36:39 He had a big game last night. He was struggling all year for him to bounce back. Having a moment, he just had to get comfortable. You know, he ain't played much this year. Not having a chance to have a ball in his hand a little more with Luka being out. He stepped up. They got a big win in Atlanta. They threw a party afterwards.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Shout out to Jalen Johnson, though. Killing. And he's in the new Atlanta Nike commercial. I've seen that, too. Like you said, Trey Young had 18 and 16 yesterday. Jalen Johnson, 28 and 11. Even though the Hawks ain't winning all these games
Starting point is 00:37:06 they do look like they have fun playing basketball they do and my bad I ain't hit you back about that commercial oh shit my fault
Starting point is 00:37:14 my fault Nike still on the table they seen the underarmor ad they was like this nigga if this nigga is taking the underarmor call he ain't ignoring
Starting point is 00:37:22 no motherfucking Nike call so I want y'all to know that, right? Goddamn, dude. No. New Balance had a call.
Starting point is 00:37:30 New Balance had a call. I want y'all, I want y'all to know that, damn. No, New Balance had a call with me. No,

Starting point is 00:37:46 I know Kawhi had called. He ain't got no phone. Listen, but that's why he ain't got internet. Oh, shit. We were all wrong yesterday. No, I wasn't. Oh, excuse you. Except behead the Warriors header.
Starting point is 00:37:58 The next to carry the Warriors yesterday, 128 to 120. Dennis Schroeder looking like it's 2015 again, man. 31 to 7. Cam Thomas at 23. Damn, 2015. He was on the bench. Listen. Damn, he was sliding, boy. His stats ain't it?
Starting point is 00:38:09 That is crazy. Nah, Ben has been killing, though. He having a hell of a year. Nah, I ain't being funny. I've been saying this. You have, though. He's been killing it. I hate that it's probably going to happen,
Starting point is 00:38:20 but he probably going to get traded. To a good team. To a good team. And it's going to kill. Not kill his stats, but. Fuck up the payday And it's going to kill, not kill his stats, but. Fuck up the payday. It's going to mess up his payday a little bit.
Starting point is 00:38:28 But if he stay there, man, he looking at a nice deal. Like if they look at him as the point guard of the team for the future, he going to get a nice deal, man. He should, bro. Cause he,
Starting point is 00:38:37 he turned down that money. So a lot of people don't have this type of, you know what I mean? Bounce back. Yeah. Cause he having a solid, a really good year, man. I'm happy for him.
Starting point is 00:38:50 But I know he going to get traded to a good team, a contender. Yeah. I ask you this. Should the Lakers still let him go? I mean, he fit the Lakers a little more than D'Lo do. But D'Lo off the bench is different. But as a point guard, he just play. He's a defensive-minded point guard. He makes shots. He can get to the rack. And he's always going to compete, which I already
Starting point is 00:39:09 rocked with too. He's super competitive. But, shit, I don't know. They got a roster full of people who can help other teams. We've been saying that for the last two years, obviously. They're paying a couple people. Ben Simmons is about to come off the book soon, but listen, man. Might as well run it up.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I don't know if they're going to do a campaign. Obviously, I ain't trying to pay him. So he might have had an opportunity to get that bag there in Brooklyn, man. Who? Dennis. Yeah. Cam Johnson.
Starting point is 00:39:34 He ain't focal point now, but he should be a trade target for a lot of teams. Yeah, I think they're doing it on purpose. They obviously ain't trying to pay him what he thinks he deserves to be paid. Even though they lost, Steph was killing yesterday.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Steph did all the disrespectful stuff that he does in a basketball game, dancing on the ground, hitting threes, shimmying. It's great to watch Steph Curry play basketball. That was one of the better games yesterday, too. I don't know how many people caught that because it was the Nets, but that was a fire basketball game for sure. Yeah, Steph's going to have fun regardless, bro. They just don't care about really losing to the Nets.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Steph makes basketball look fun. For sure, yeah. Him and LaM Steph makes basketball look fun. For sure. Him and LaMelo make basketball look fun. I ain't going to lie. Like, the stuff they do, you'd be like, they make you play bad basketball, but it look fun. No, for sure. They like play 2K. There's a lot of them, though.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Yeah, they play like 2K. Speaking of bad basketball, yesterday, a lot of people was pissed because Draymond hit a three yesterday and messed up some parlays. Shout out to my boy. Y'all had him on the under? What, he shooting like 40 from the three this year? Oh, that's wicked. I mean, I want to know how many he attempted.

We see this every night. And they were just like, or how about he was so far ahead that they're just now doing this consistently. I was like, damn, that's a hell of a counter to that argument.
