Good morning. Happy Wednesday. It's 520 in the morning. Your favorite sports show here to keep you up to date on everything that's sports world related, especially basketball. Shout out to Gatorade. I'm joined this morning by my two brothers, Bishop Henderson and my brother T. Fellas, how y'all doing this morning? I'm T. Y'all always talking about that to me.

Picture microphone falls. What's happening, man? What I do. I said what you said I'll take the label off Yeah take the label That's cool I'm just thirsty by the way Childish to the game

Got something brewing I love how freaking My blood pressure just Raised like quick in the morning When we started the show I was like I'm already going crazy That's funny, man.

You know what, bro? But anyway. Oh, man. Y'all wild, man. Let's start the episode off with a real get well soon. All right, y'all. A real get well soon to Dallas Mavericks, man.

First and foremost, man, prayers up for Kyrie, man. Unfortunately, we found out it was a torn ACL. Damn, man. Yeah, that sucks, especially after the bounce back season Kyrie had, man. All-star season playing very, very well, man. It sucks to see Kyrie out like that, man. For sure, definitely get well soon to my boy, Ree. Yeah, for sure, man.

Also, rumor that AD will probably be out the rest of the season as well. Might as well. Them Mavs fans are sick. Come on, bro. Also, rumor that AD will probably be out the rest of the season as well. Might as well. Them Mavs fans are sick. Come on, bro. They about to go crazy. Look at my boy Luke over there thriving. They about to go crazy. Well, they got about 20 games left.

And if you ain't playing none of them stars, you know what time it is. No limit. Yeah. Capture the flag. Can we go to where they're ranked right now in the West? I think they might be at 10, possibly something like that. They don't have a shot. They can lose out.

They can most definitely lose out. I imagine everybody else down there is too. Yeah. They probably ain't got enough time to lose out. They do. I mean, they ain't going to be bad as the Jazz or Pelicans. Yeah, I was going to say, could they get to the 13th, the Spurs, at least? Yeah, they can definitely get to 13th.

Okay. The only thing is the NBA ain't going to let that happen. The Mavericks will not be getting the number one pick. For real. It's dead. Yeah, bro. The NBA won't let that happen. They cannot get the number one pick.

But there's a lot of turmoil going on. Yeah, there's no way that they're going to allow that to happen. It's deeper than Yeah, bro. They won't let that happen. They cannot get the number one pick. But it's a lot of turmoil going on. Yeah, there's no way that they're going to allow that to happen. It's deeper than that. Yeah. All good, though. Dang, man. That sucks, man. I just want Kyrie to get healthy.

I'm sorry that happened, man. He was having a hell of a year. For sure, man. And it sucks because the timing of it as well. Superchat already asking a good question. Prayers to Kyrie. Factoring his age, you think this is the end of Kyrie being Kyrie. Klay was never the same after

his ACL injury. Well, Klay had ACL and Achilles. Yeah. Didn't Klay get injured in college too? I think he may have got injured in college too. I ain't for sure about that, but I know he had an ACL and Achilles. That's two tough injuries

to be trying to come back from. Kyrie done had a knee injury before, and he returned when he split his kneecap. Something like that. And he returned. ACLs, not to say it ain't bad, but it's not as bad as it once was. People return jumping higher, better, stronger than ever. That's very true. That's not the worst injury you can have.

Achilles is probably tougher, I would say. But hopefully he returns better than ever. Most definitely. It does suck because of the timing factor of the money situation. Kyrie is probably going to get paid this offseason. Yeah, that fucking sucks. Yeah, now that paycheck probably does look a little bit different. But I wonder how Dallas will play this.

Dallas, obviously, they're probably not going to offer him the max, but you think they're going to give him a good enough bag to come back? They have to. I mean, you let Luka go. So you have to bring Kyrie back. I mean, obviously, Kyrie's playing great, even though he's not the reason you traded Luka. I mean, he was already there.

But you have to bring him back. He's the only star power you got besides Anthony Davis. And if you let Kyrie walk and you lost Luka, bro, you might be on. You know how they acting over there, though? They acting like they don't even care about the game or the NBA, bro. So, nah.

Build this resort. They won't be able to survive Dallas if that happens. And maybe that's what they want. They said, we're going to get changed one way or another. If the NBA gives us this resort, the people are going to push us out. Maybe that's what they want. They said we're going to get changed one way or another. If the Air Force is resorted, the people are going to push us out. Maybe that's what they want. Maybe they want to go to Vegas. Yeah, so I ain't.

Might be a bigger play. Yeah, and if y'all piss me off, I'll try AD. We might just be super bad. Cal Cougar. We'll fuck the league up. We're going to get what we want. They're going to get out the way. That's what I'm saying.

I don't think they care too much, but, you know, it's bad for the league, but it is. I mean, they gave away Luka, bro. Anything is possible. I really can't see what happens, like, post-career with Nico. Like, when he gets to talk about the real behind-the-scenes situations on the podcast five, six years from now, it's going to be hilarious. There's probably so many things we don't know about this

because all this situation is crazy. You're never going to talk. You're never going to talk about it? Nah. Damn. No way. He ain't never going to talk. He ain't never going to talk about it? Nah. Damn. No way. Get well soon, Dallas, man. Kyrie, prayers up.

He's going to get paid a lot of money just to take the blame. Yeah. That's crazy. They all sit out the rest of this year, obviously. They come back next year healthy. I mean, what's the AC up? Six months? Seven months?

Six, seven months. But, I mean, probably Phil himself. It's going to take him probably close to a year. Damn. I'm sure he'll be back hooping. Yeah. I mean, being able to hoop in six or seven months, but I'm sure he ain't going to feel like himself for a year.

He's not going to rush. As he shouldn't. Nah. Yeah, as he shouldn't. That's the kind of iffy part about Kyrie, because it's not about his athleticism, because he ain't Nah Yeah as he shouldn't That's the kind of Apey part about Kyrie Cause it's not about His athleticism Cause he ain't never Been a hot flyer

But like his game Is irky jerky Like that needs stability That's a different type Of comfort you gotta have Especially having an injury Like that but Yeah

If there's anybody We think we could bounce back It'd be Kyrie for sure man Get Wilson and Kyrie We'll talk about Brian shortly man Let's get straight to it man Steph put on a show

Yesterday in the garden Took care of the Knicks Yesterday 114 to 102 We know Kat didn't play, man. But let's get straight to it, man. Steph put on a show yesterday in the Garden. Took care of the Knicks yesterday, 114-102. We know Cat didn't play for personal reasons, but Steph went crazy, 28-9-7. Jimmy Butler hooped out with 19 as well. OG showed up yesterday with 29, and Jalen Brunson had 25-7. OG was going crazy in the third quarter. I was watching that game. Nah, OG was hooping.

Yeah. Yeah. Tibbs had Brunson out too long. That's a first. For real, man. I watched the evening. He damn near didn't play the third quarter for real. But OG, that was the game plan.

If you watch how the Warriors were playing them, Jimmy was helping on the rolls every time OG was in the corner, open for three every single time. But it's like, you got to make them. Yeah. You're going to live with them. He was doing his thing, though. He hooped.

For sure. I told you, the Knicks are like one player away from always being bad. For sure, bro. Yeah. Because Mikel was out for the third goal. I'm like, well, maybe Tibbs is just resting, boys, because I don't know. It was just weird, the lineups that was in. Yeah, and we'll talk about the Warriors winning this game,

but like you said, the Knicks being one player away, Cats supposed to miss this next five-game road trip they got coming up at Lakers, at Clippers, at Kings, at Blazers, at Warriors. Are they missing all these? Allegedly. Oh, damn. I hope everything cool with them. Yeah, but if you go to look at the standings in the East right now,

yeah, they better win a majority of these games. And they probably won't. Yeah, they're five games out from dropping down. The Knicks can play anybody, though, out East. It don't even matter. Them standings don't mean nothing. I don't think the Knicks want to see the Bucs. I think they feel comfortable with the Pacers.

I think they feel comfortable with the Pistons. I would not want to see the Bucs if I'm the Knicks. Okay, well, everybody else is Bucs and Celtics, bro. Everybody else is pretty much green. Oh, you don't think they feel the Cavs either? No. Yeah, they not beating the Cavs. After the way the Cavs just whooped their ass,

I feel a little bit differently about that. I was there with you. You know, I got a high hopes for the Knicks. I mean, they're not going to slip to eight, though. No, but I mean, I would probably want to stay in that three spot if I'm the Knicks, at least. Four would get a little iffy. But, yeah, Cat, man, I don't know what's going on,

but it would get well suited for him as well. When we talk about the Knicks' rank in defense, 19, but, like, they 29 when they face a top-10 offense. So they playing really good against teams that sell par, but them top-10 teams that we showed the record last week, they are not getting a job done at all. Yeah, they don't really got nobody besides Mike Hill. I mean, OG, I guess y'all can say they know him for defense.

But after that, it gets spooky. Josh Hart, he can guard, but he more of a utility guy. He can make plays, but he's not like a lockdown defender to me. For sure. He can make plays, but every time you watch, like Mike Hill bridges his guard and Steph Curry. defender to me. For sure. He can make plays, but every time you watch, like, Mike L. Bridges is guarding Steph Curry.

OG is guarding Jimmy Butler. Yeah. Josh Hart, he gets the remainder of the people. I mean, he can guard.

I say he can't, but he's just a real good utility guy. Rebounder, loose ball, stuff like that. He can make plays. But they don't got

no bona fide scorers. I mean, Michael Bridges can score. O.G. can have a night. Josh Hart is not a scorer. No. He can get you some layups or whatever. But when Cat out, that's 30 points, basically. Yeah.

And somebody got filled on rolls. And 12 rebounds. At least. That's a tough roll. And Mitchell Robinson is. First game back, too, but yeah. It's quiet. Him and Precious can't fill that void.

Mm-mm. Uh-uh. For sure, man. I don't like it. Hey, man, show some love and stuff. 12-1 to guard in his career, that's fire. Yeah, that's home. Yeah, that's my house.

And 12-1 is a feat, for sure. Yeah, that's crazy. Hey, man, Golden State. That Jimmy Trey worked out for them. I know everybody was iffy on that. But they just simply are losing games, bro. Yeah, they look like – I mean, their lineup is so janky too. Like if you look at it, Jimmy at the four, Moses Moody, BP, he playing good too.

Definitely. Good game for BP yesterday as well. Dre Mullen at the five. It's a weird lineup, but it's working. Buddy Hill was playing, getting ticked yesterday. On me. Buddy hooped out yesterday. Played the whole third quarter, yeah. And the game before that, he hooped out.

I think he had 22, 21. Yeah. I would love for them just to get a big, though. I don't know who they got to get. I mean, they probably can't get nobody now. Looks like the bigs is dried up in the waiver wire. They need a big.

Most definitely. Steph could have had 40 yesterday. Shout out to Steph, man. Yeah. He was missing some shots he normally don't miss. Still had 28. Missed a couple layups. And he was at, he only played, what, 30 minutes?

33. Yeah. Yeah, 30 most yesterday. Shout out to the Warriors, man. They're going crazy. Not a team I would want to see in the playoffs. So speaking of team, they're still killing. The Cavs are sitting there winning streak to 11. Took care of the Bulls yesterday, 139-117. Built

to add situation for sure. Donovan Mitchell had 28-7. Jerry Donald hooped out with 25-17. D.G. hooped out with 19. Kobe White had 25-7. But, man, the Cavs. If they don't make it to the conference finals, boy, this is going to be a letdown.

For real, bro. Because they playing at a high, high level. Very high level. You got Donovan Mitchell getting player of the month. Evan Mobley getting defensive player of the month. 51 wins, bro. 25 and 17 is fire. 11 game win streak is crazy.

But they keep having crazy win streaks. Keep having crazy win streaks. They just came off a 15 game win streak. Lost one and bounced back with another one. Yeah, I would hate to see them not make it to the conference finals That would suck

That would be one of the biggest letdowns As of late Recent years But I also think depending upon who they lose to I think the way that people will perceive it Nah You got to play a weak team Each round

If Giannis go crazy against the Cavs and get them out that series, are we going to fought the Cavs losing to Giannis because he a great? Yes. Giannis ain't made it to the conference finals

since they went to the chip. Okay. They lost last year to the Pacers. I know he ain't played, but the year before that he did. Yep.

So, teams been beating them. I remember, what was that? Celtics beat them that year beating them. I remember, what was that? Celtics beat them that year? Yeah. They the best team in the league. Yeah, bro.

Y'all 51-10. We only got 21 games left. That's a letdown. Respect. I don't make it to the conference. That's a letdown. I don't disagree. That happened.

Hell of a season, boy. Shout out to the Cavs. Ain't much to say. Built-to-edge situation for sure. Another built-to-edge situation, you know what I'm saying? Pacers took care of the Rockets yesterday, 115-102. Tyrese Halliburton went crazy yesterday, 28-15. Siakam hooped out with 18.

Shagun hooped out as well with 25-9. We won't smoke in the East. We're not scared of nobody. If you're not the Cavs, if you're not the Celtics, we won't smoke. Y'all beat a team without their point guard. We beat a team to play last night, and Tyrese Huddler has been killing. I was going to let him hit his shit off today. 28-15.

Y'all beat a team that didn't even have their point guard. That's all NBA numbers. I can't help. And you know what? They redshirted the night before against OKC because they was trying to duck smoke. They knew they was going to lose that game. They rested all their starters just to come to Napa and get smacked. That's what you get. All their starters ain't healthy. I don't

care. Van Fleet ain't play. I don't care. Realistically, y'all not better than the Rockets, bro. When both teams is healthy, y'all not better than them. Realistically, in the series, we would smack them. Boy, you crazy. We would smack them in the series. You crazy, man. Light word. It's quiet.

Shout out to Tyrese. Tyrese might not shoot game two. They've been talking crazy, but Tyrese is having historic season on the low. Tyrese is going to lock that shit up. You know what?

Historic season on the low. Shout out to Clutch Points. I'll pull the article up. Talk about it. Yeah. He got no turnovers or something? Come on, bro. That man had 112 assists

with like six turnovers. That's insane, bro. That's a good Mike Conley year for sure. Hey, listen. Nah, I'm saying for real. Tyrese Jones do that every year. Yeah, Tyrese Jones, Mike Conley.

Oh. For real shit, they do though. Tyrese Jones do that every year. I ain't see him in an All-Star game. Shout out to Tyrese. I ain't see Tyrese either. Not this year. We know two-time All-Star.

He was at Royal Rumble. What up? Tell me. Shout out to Reese, man. Hey, why did you pull up Trae Young? Didn't nobody ask you to pull up? Nothing in this situation. I don't know what's wrong with freaking Mike this morning, but nobody asked you to pull up Trae Young.

I'm only hating on Tyrese because y'all keep saying he was coming on the show. He ain't never come. He said that. Shit, I was just telling y'all what y'all told me. Yeah, my boy Off The Court Activities. We're having him do interviews right now. I ain't mad at Tyrese. You know it's all love.

For sure. But, no, their Rockets team is really talented. They definitely miss Fred Van Fleet for sure. What can they do to fix things next year? Just more experience will probably help them go in there next year. Oh, the Rockets? Yeah, because they seem to have the pieces available, but they just need to –

Yeah, they need a couple veteran pieces. Van Fleet got to be healthy because that's a stable person on their team. For sure. You know what you're going to get with Dylan Brooks. You're going to play hard, do all the antic shit. But they just need one more player that they could go to if somebody is down, if Van Fleet is out. Like Aaron Holiday is their backup point guard or Reece Shepard,

however you want to play. They need one more player that's the voice of reasoning out there. If you're looking for Dylan Brooks to be your voice of reasoning when Van Fleet is out, it's a little different. Yeah, you might be in trouble. I even seen him use the top 20 yesterday, bring the ball up,

kind of initiate the offense, and I'm like, that ain't it yet. But they solid, man. They got a hell of a future for sure in Houston. I'm kind of leaning towards B-Hen. If you can trade for one good player, don't break up that team. You get two vets on that team. Yeah, there ain't one.

Just wanted to be just enough. Because Tari Easton was balling yesterday. And every time Tari Easton gets a chance, he gets a hoop. They got talent. They legit compete with everybody they play. But he's a great trade piece, though. Yeah, Tari.

One of them got to go. It's either the Thompson twin, Try Easton, Cam Whitmore. Obviously, Cam Whitmore is the guy that's going to go. Yeah, I mean, Thompson is definitely not available. Jabari Smith, out of them four, two of them got to go. You can move Tarry Easton. You can move Jabari and two picks and get you a quality, quality vet for that team. I don't know.

You got to move one of them, two of them out of that four. I've seen this on the internet. I want to see how you feel about a team that's talking about

as far as the Rockets hierarchy. If you had to move between Jalen Green and Menn Thompson, who are you keeping? Because a lot of people said Menn Thompson

would probably be our best player next year. Who am I moving? Yeah, if you had to, if one has to stay between them two

for the future, who you say has to stay? Yeah, if one has to stay between them two for the future, who do you say has to stay? Man, I'd probably move Jalen Green. Just because the Thompson twin, he's so versatile. He can defend. He can score. Once he learned how to shoot, he a superstar. Once he learned how to shoot.

But that's a big if. Like, shit. We've been asking people to find a jumper for so long. Yeah. But could you put him in a situation to where A. Min Thompson could get you 20 a night? Because no slight to Jack McGrane, he's elite. One of the best wings in the NBA for sure. But on some of our tests, obviously he had better offense.

But could you make a Min Thompson capable of a 20-point score on your team? Yeah, what are you, 15 right now? 14? He on with two players after the dub plus. Shaq Gunn is up there too. He can average 20. He can get 20. He just can't shoot.

If he could shoot, he'd probably average 20 right now. It's easier to find another. I don't want to say it like that, but it's harder finding a Thompson than a Jalen Green. Yeah, Jalen Green is no shade. They both fire, but he like Malik Monk. Yeah. He like these wings that got this scoring punch, athleticism that you love on your team. Like, he a mode of Jamal Crawford, even though Jamal Crawford wasn't as athletic.

But you can plug and play. I can get you 20 off the bench at any time. Plug him in. I can get you 20 as a starter. I can get you 20 off the bench no matter wherever I play. Kevin Martin, wherever you put me. Underrated bucket, Kevin Martin. I can get buckets.

Thompson, if he could shoot, damn near be Kawhi, bro. Yeah. I like that comparison. For real, he would damn near be Kawhlanding if he could really shoot the ball. For sure, man. Bright future for the Young Rockets, for sure. Shout out to the Patriots. Get that dub anyway, though. Young's got a triple dub yesterday against the Hawks, 127-121.

26-12-10. Dame hooped out with 23 as well. Trae Young hooped out with 28-13, but the Bucs, seven of the last eight, man. And making that playoff run we was talking about. That's not a team I really would be confident standing in front of, man, if I'm one of them higher seeds, for sure.

That's a fact. I just hate how they, I don't. It's not the sexiest basketball by any means. It's ugly. It's mud over there. Like, they good. What's your biggest issue with them? Bro, because I used to watch Dame so much.

I was a fan of Dame, right? Like, even when I was playing, i used to watch dame so much i was a fan of dame right like even when i was playing i used to watch their games like damn how's he getting to it like this him steph cp all these great point i would watch all their games yeah and now when i watch dame it's like he been handcuffed a little bit you You know what I mean? Damn near turned into a great system guy. Nah, not even system. Like, he always shot threes, but, like, it's different now. Free flow ain't there? Nah, like, he used to come off pin downs.

He used to come off flare screens and the pick and rolls. The offense was running around him, and it was fun to watch. Like, he just had these moments that you just couldn't believe. That's why he's top 75. And he still had moments, and you still see him be brilliant. I mean, what, he still had 20 points last night? Yeah, he shot 210 from three. He still had 23.

He still had 23. But just the way he played was different. And I understand when you're playing with Giannis and all these, you know, super unreal players. I know your game is going to change, but I just like the old Dame. Like watching Dame when everything involved around him. So it's just tough for me to watch. Our prayer is not against us, but I can't wait until the playoffs

when we get those Dame-y little moments where it's like, all right, I need you to go do what you do best to get us these games. Like ain't no leash, ain't no – I need Dame to go with me a game. And we're going to see some moments for him this postseason. Yeah, I know we will. He's going to get 40, 50, but it's nasty to watch it now.

I know we will. I think he's going to have a playoff run to remember. I wouldn't be surprised if they make it to the championship. I know the Celtics is a crazy team,

but I think Dame, it's like his time. I think it's his moment to have one of them years that we haven't seen yet. I mean, we've seen him have playoff runs when he said,

you know, the bubble, he went crazy. But I think it's just time for the world to see him go all the way crazy on the live, live,

live stage. He's speaking it into existence. For sure. We talked to him, so yeah. Yeah, I would not be surprised.

He got high hopes for him. They just got to jail, bro. I don't know. The Celsius is – Yeah, bro, that's Giannis. I mean, they playing – I can't afford no injury. They playing well.

They playing well. I just – the way it look, I mean, they getting the job done. Yeah. They getting it done. I just remember what it used to look like. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. You know what's funny?

We started off this season all on Doc Head. Ain't nobody said nothing about Doc in a long time, man. Shout out to Doc Rivers, man. They win. I said that about old girl. Excuse me? That's what I'm saying. Back in the day.

Damn, I remember when it was just free-flowing. It just... It's a little dented up now. I still crack. That just brought meflowing. It's a little dented up now. I still crack. That just brought me back. I just. This nigga married. Somebody still crack.

A little dented up. Oh, man. Had a couple babies. Fuck it. Shout out to the hell damage. Who's scoring big in the NBA this season? You are. With all the new ways to get in on the action at DraftKings Sportsbook,

You know when somebody just got an it factor? on the watch too. They getting to it for sure. That boy, Luka. Come on, man. Hey, you know what, like, this is just a random,

you know when somebody, like, just got, like, a it factor? You ever watch, like, seen a kid or somebody,

y'all know him? Like, man, that, he just got something. Paul's like, he just special. Mm-hmm. That's Luka.

Like, he fat. He out of shape. You know what I mean? Like, you look at him, you like, man, I damn near, I can damn near get him. And then when he start playing, you like, man, it's just something about that dude, bro. Like, his arrogance and everything, it just kind of like jump off the screen. You like, you hate him, but you love him.

Yeah, he one of a kind. Yeah, like. Different forever. Like, if he ain't on your team you probably like man i can't stand that motherfucker like but when you watch him play you can't help but to appreciate it yeah for sure he went crazy yesterday 30 15 to 8 braun had 30 to 8 we don't give a damn how you built 30 15 and 8 next to 34 8 and 6 it's crazy yeah i'll buy you all the hookah you want, fam Yeah, but you can't like

Here's a beer, bro Facts Like, it's weird that you can't like I can't go to a kid and be like This is what an NBA player looks like Yeah I can't show Luca Yeah, I can't show you Luca or Jokic

We couldn't show Zach Randolph Hell no For real Paul Pierce Yeah, like this is how you gotta look And then when you go play If a motherfucker tell me like Well, I want to play like him be like we playing Shozak Randolph hell nah Paul Pierce yeah like this is how you gotta look at them

when you go play if a motherfucker tell me like well I wanna play like him I'm like I understand

smoke hookah drink beer man he feel like a pro wrestler bro he feel like Kevin Owens

that's hilarious he out here killing Luca Jokic I'm here for y'all man y'all, man. I got my spirits.

I'm rolling, man. Just who? All this working now, trying to get abs and shit. You got to have the game, though. Yeah. We have to make that clear to you. You got to know how to use your body. They don't understand how strong them dudes really are. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Jokic is super strong. Yeah, we don't want to forget that. Luka is crazy strong. But they're also crazy talented. God- they're also crazy ability bro yeah we your trainer cannot teach you that it's different bro for sure super chat uh z a q e i ain't about to tempt that what is like his biggest yeah i was gonna say what is like his biggest witness post trade i thought it would be defense but it seems they defend well also gotta pop out from to pop out from Minneapolis for a playoff game. We're still waiting on Jeff to show his face

and not run. Damn. All right. Is that the Somalian flag? Respect. Why y'all got to smoke with me in Minneapolis? To show his face

and not run? Damn. That's not inviting, nigga. Yeah, that's the real Jerry Bayless. I'll pull up. Like, I don't know why you,

I ain't scared to pull up. But why would I want to pull up with devil horns? Like, what type of time you on, gangsta? But their biggest weakness is probably going to be their post defense. They get caught playing the Nuggets. I don't think – depending how they guard. They had Rui on him in their last series against them. They had Rui fronting them.

People was coming to help trapping the post and doing things like that. But if Jackson Hayes has to play on one-on-one, it's Christmas. Or my guy, 55, that subbed in. Yeah, he's Christmas against that. That's the only weakness they really got right now is that post defense. And Jerry Vanderbilt has been playing amazing. But if he's down there, I saw with Yoke, it is going to be about him. they put vanderbilt or rui on him and then they come in and trap the ball i mean one thing that bron struggled with is shooting threes i mean he's having a good year but he's not a knockdown

three-point shooter i'm just talking about denver russ westbrook struggle shooting and gordon struggle shooting uh you know jamal murray can shoot. You know, Michael Porter can shoot. But, if they kicking it out to Westbrook, Brian, Aaron Gordon, I like the Lakers chances. Most definitely.

They're going to be a lot of averages in that situation for sure. For sure. Let Lucas show y'all says, question for Jeff. Lakers got three

back-to-back games the week of March 17th. Have you ever dealt with that in your career and how does the team prepare for that? Got three back-to-back games. That's not even, like, I don't know what he's saying.

Did they play three games in a row, maybe? Yeah, that's not even possible. You can't even do that. Yeah, I'm not too sure what this question is. You can't do that. Clean it up a little bit. You only could do that in the lockout year. But back-to-back games, how you do it?

I mean, you may have got three sets of back-to-backs games? How you do? That sucks. You may have got three sets of back-to-backs. That's all you fake-ass basketball watching. Those niggas don't even know. Just be saying shit. It just wasn't too clear. Let's move this up.

You may have got three back-to-backs. Ain't no refunds, nigga. What do we mean they got three back-to-backs? They played the 17th, 18th, off. 19th,

played the 20th, 21st, off. 19th, play the 20th, 21st, off. 13th, 14th, and 16th. Yeah. They got a day off. So they have another, I don't know. 13th, 14th, day off, 16th. And 17th.

Yeah. They play the 18th too? No, they got a day off on the 18th. So he's saying they got three back-to-backs. Oh, so, okay. They play the 13th and 14th break. 15th is off, obviously. 16th, 17th break. Oh So he's saying They got back Two back Three back to backs Oh so okay They put a 13th To 14th break 15th is off

Obviously 16th 17th break 18th 19th Now that's a crazy ass schedule So they have three back to backs They have three back to backs Okay

That's a crazy schedule Like that's a That's a rare schedule And that sucks too Because they play good ass teams On Damn Y'all can almost guarantee

Bron's not playing A couple of those games. He's not playing San Antonio for sure. Yeah, but I ain't going to lie. That's a crazy schedule, whoever brought that up. That's like the lockout year. That's the kind of stuff we was doing the lockout year. That's a crazy schedule. The lockout year, we played three games in a row.

I can't even imagine playing it back-to-back. I remember one year, the year, the lockout year, we had played three games in a row. On the third game, we went in triple overtime with Utah. It was crazy as hell. I was about third year. I didn't give a damn. I was having fun.

We never practiced. Literally, we had training camp for one week. And then you went straight to games. I think games started on Christmas. I was having fun. We never practiced. Literally, we had training camp for one week. And then you went straight to games. I think games started on Christmas. I think the first game was when D. Rose hit that floater against the Lakers. Yeah. That was like the first game of the year.

And then you never practiced again. You just played games. Never. We didn't go over scouting report. We didn't do nothing. We just went out there and hooped. Dang. Was Woody still your coach?

Nah, it was LD. Larry Drew was our coach. Shout out to LD. I had fun because I came off the playoffs. That was my second year. I didn't play all year. I played the playoffs. My third year, it's my first year starting. I'm 22, 23.

You got all the energy in the world. People sitting out, like, oh, I get to shoot. Like, Joe, I ain't playing this game. That's two in a row. Third game, I ain't playing. Cool. I was taking game winners. Boys was tired.

I was having a ball. That's why niggas winning the three OTs. They got their bullshits. When I tell you Devin Harris missed so many game winners that game. Like, to go ahead shots, he might miss like six

go ahead shots. People forget how raw he really was. Devin Harris was cold. That's the reason they traded him for Jake Hitt. He was so cold, bro, in Dallas. And what makes it funny, y'all was probably like, damn, Devin hit one of these so we can go home, nigga. Nah, we was in Atlanta. I'll never forget. I was like, golly.

I'm going to overtime again. After two games the day before? Luis pulled it up. Nah, it was crazy. Super chat. Brandon Dawkins asked, T, do you think LeBron should have been the first unanimous MVP over Steph? Yep. I mean, obviously LeBron had crazy years, but I think what Steph did, yeah, I mean, Jordan should

have been a unanimous MVP before. That's a fact. NBA is the NBA. Pat Boomer asked, question for Jeff, is there a specific monster or trick that helps you stay composed while handling the ball under pressure? My theory is, if you put

in the work, you always, you're confident in your handle because you put in the work. Like anything you do, if you practice on it and you continue to practice on it, it becomes perfect. Never really going to be perfect, but in your mind it becomes perfect. If you put in that work, when the game time happens, you put in so much work, you're confident. I do it all the time. This is what I do. I put in work. I do this. I handle the ball. work, you confident. I do it all the time. This is what I do. I put in work. I do this.

I handle the ball. I handle the ball. I handle the ball. When a game comes, it's natural. For sure. For sure. Hey, shout out to the Filet mixtape out there. So you're getting your shit off on the internet, man.

It's a mixtape. Yeah, Filet got you another situation, bro. Yeah, he did. Well, shout out to Filet. It's fire. Nah, it's fire, bro. Nah, people showing love, too. I appreciate that, bro.

He even got you getting a couple jumpers off in that bitch. You had to step back. Your game winner against Trisha Thompson is hilarious. He said, I got a couple.

Now I want to ask you this question about Clay going to the Mavs. Obviously, it ain't worked out as planned because that shit's going crazy.

But one of the things he was almost going to go to was the Magic. That probably would have helped this year. I don't know how much, but that's the type of sign. Like you said, the Duncan Robinson situation, that makes sense. Because if they would have had Klay this year with KCP, they'd have had a little bit more spacing for some of them bigs, man. Yeah, they need spacing. For sure.

Klay would have been a good pickup. But shit. Free Klay, man. You could probably get Duncan Robinson now for the Lovski. Yeah, facts. EBT for sure. Alright, man. A couple games tonight. Want to see how I feel about them. Blazers at Celtics. Celts. For sure.

T-Wolves at Hornets. T-Wolves. Easy. Heat at Cavs. Cavs for sure. Jazz. You said you're going to heat? Yeah. Okay. Turn up. Jazz at Wizardsards Go out to dinner So when you watching Tubi This will probably be on

Nah facts Yeah that is definitely A true TV game Mavs at Bucks Bucks for sure Kings at Nuggets Nuggets Yeah

Thunder at Grizzlies Thunder Thunder Pistons at Clippers Clips Bounce back I'm going with. Pistons at Clippers. Clips. Bounce back. I'm going with the Pistons, bro. Pistons is my sleeper team.

I got a K with 25, though, tonight, but nah. Yo, what's up with John? How long he up? I think he should be playing tonight. Should be playing tonight should be playing tonight I guess I'm all right buddy he be injured so much bro yeah down the three-game loose tree he doesn't want his body around like that I don't know what he gotta do yeah I love him I think he's so talented but his availability he's questionable now we shall see shoulder still nursing that injury. All right, great time decision for Schultz. I don't know how long he going to be able to maintain that high level.

Yeah. Say, they ain't knocking on people no more. He ain't doing that, but, like, his game is so predicated off being athletic and fast, and that's the difference between him and, like, Trae Young. Trae Young, you know, is know, it's being fast and stuff, but he can shoot. And that's what's going to give him longevity. He can shoot off that pick and roll.

And he can shoot with range. And he can make passes. Jalen Green is damn near Javarant. Damn near play the same. Man, what? He do. Throwing their body around. They play the same way all athleticism bro yeah

but it's different with jive jive got skill jive can pass the ball with the best of them his skill set his floater is unbelievable i'm just saying you gotta rely on that though jive can play without using i'm not saying using but his speed and his quickness was making him so vulnerable. I mean, so deadly. Yeah. It make the defense so vulnerable because he can get to the rim so easy. But if Ja just learned how to slow down

and just shoot a couple threes, they go on the screen, pull a three. He do sometimes. But his natural instinct is like, they going under, I'm about to fly to this rim and try to do something Yeah If he got some of that CP in him

Pull Like You know how CP Manipulate that mid-range Mm-hmm Job, y'all Is that the next step he needs to progress to? Yeah

If he want to play For sure Yeah Give us some of the job, man Hope we play tonight It'll be a good game for sure Against the Thunder. Verified Bucketsby here.

Who was getting to it yesterday? I'm going to give it to Big Zoo. He was killing it. 35-15. He's been a lot more consistent than what people think, too. He's been having a hell of a year. He's a top-ten center in the league.

The Lakers giving him up was always crazy. If they still had him, the ship for sure. I'm going to give it to Zoo. For sure. I'm going to go with my dog Tyrese, 28-15 yesterday. Great win against the Rockets.

He wasn't even up there. Yeah, he scored good. Damn. I'm about to say, that ain't on my clipboard. I mean, my little... I'm going to go with Zion, man. Shout out to the production team. We always talk crazy.

You know, not even talk crazy, but just mess with Zion Because he mess with Double M For sure We He be killing man He do bro No Zion had 37 64 yesterday On 70% shooting yesterday

Yeah he healthy When he healthy He one of the best in the league For sure Yeah Zion is elite For sure Always respect for Zion Freaking Z hooped out yesterday

Devin Bassel Hooped out yesterday Career high 37 11 and 5 Hell of a night at the office for sure. And then Bronner Luca combined it for 64. It's crazy, man.

For sure. Super Chat, some random says, Athletes, is Kyrie playing too many minutes? Have anything to do with the injury? Does Mads Forsen Kai have anything to do with it? Because a 33-year-old with injury record having the highest mpg is crazy i mean he might have upped his his minutes and his usage i could have did something with it you know i mean he's being more aggressive he had the ball more his usage rate probably went up and after you do the same you

gotta think basketball you do the same movements over and over and over and over again it's just wear and tear like you do the same movements over and over eventually it's wear and tear every day you wake up you run and you jump run and you jump run and you jump something's gonna happen for sure ain't too many people who play professional sports don't have no injuries no ones. The ones who get blessed and go away with minor will still be hurt, for sure. Facts. All right, Super Chat asks, which I figure what if, Derrick Rose or Baron DeRoy?

Derrick Rose. DeRoy. And then DeRoy one of my favorite players, but Derrick Rose. I mean, he won MVP. Like, I don't know where. He won the league MVP. If he don't get hurt, we don't know where he is. Most definitely. All definitely Alright give us
