Good morning. Happy Friday. It's 520 in the morning, your favorite sports show. Here to keep you up to date on everything in the sports world related, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wills. Join this wonderful morning by my two brothers to my left, Bishop Henders to my right, my brother T. Fellas, good morning.

How y'all doing? What's happening, Nasty? What you telling, bro? Look at Mike. He's cooked. What, man? Send your thoughts and prayers to Freaky Mike, man. He been going through it since he got on that airplane. Hey, it's cooked.

Them shoes is crazy. My boy came out the house with the Hush Puppy Supremes on. Damn. Boy, he look crazy. This boy. That's a rough life, boy. Boy. I thought Adderall.

When you take Adderall, it just heal everything. And we got a fire pod tomorrow. Get your life together, bro. Yeah, bro. And you keep coughing in that coat, bro. Wash that motherfucker, bro. That coat filthy. Yeah, bro.

Anyway. Dye starts Monday. They definitely do not want you sponsoring them in that jacket right now, man. Send a go-fund-me up for Freaky Mike, man. Super chat. Send him some money so he can get some oranges. Send whatever Bobby Portis took to him. Yeah.

We sorry, Sierra. We know you pour champagne on Freaky Mike every Friday. Champagne Friday is canceled for the foreseeable future. The Bobby Portis is crazy.

Let's start there. Damn, man, BP suspended 25 games for a banned substance, man. I told him he cannot take

Nirmal. I ain't gonna do that to y'all. I know we got a sponsorship. Don't do BP. But I don't know what's going on. You feel me? The niggas that I do know that take drugs, they got banned for life,

so this must be on a lighter scale. No. Somebody accidentally switched. He said he asked his phone boy for a painkiller, which is Tordahl, and it was named something else that sounded like Tordahl, and he took it, and it was on the banned substance list. Damn. Yeah, it's a tough break for Milwaukee because you're losing, arguably,

one of your six-man-of-the-year candidates for 25 games going down this stretch. It's going to be a tough loss for them. But that opened up room for Kyle Kuzma and Kevin Porter Jr. That's why the moves they made at the trade deadline were huge, because getting Kyle Kuzma and KPJ, that's going to solidify their bench for sure. Yeah, like you said, if they would not have made the moves and had this loss, that would have been detrimental to them closing out the season, because that stretch between 3, 4, 5, 6 in would not have made them moves and then had this loss, that would have been never detrimental to them going close in that season because that stretch between 3, 4, 5, 6 in the East is like almost a couple games.

Yeah, so shout out to John Horst for making that move right there because that might save y'all's season. Yeah, for sure, man. Before we get to the winning vote, shout out to Uncle Rick Pitino, man. He's been dropping bars on the Internet these last couple of weeks, man. One I wanted to ask you about as a high school coach, he basically said, we're having a great year, but we got a lot of good guys

leaving this program, and I got to replace these guys. I can't replace them with high school players. How does that play into the mindset of you coaching kids, letting them know the game is different now. Y'all better quit acting like your only competition is in this locker room. I'm so glad Lou put this in the joint. Lou put this, right joint. Lou put this.

Where are you at? Shout out to Lou. Okay, yeah, Lou did that. Because we talked about this in practice, right? And this is a game changer. When you hear a coach like Rick Pitino, and we had a pipeline of Rick Pitino. My dad played for Rick Pitino, right? So, obviously, we're going to reach out to him and his staff.

You see some of the players that we got on our team. But for him to say that, that lets you know, as a high school kid, like my job is always on the line as a coach now. And we pay you guys to play. If you're not delivering, I got to get rid of you because they're going to get rid of me. Look at Indiana. Woody, he paying these kids all this money.

They're not delivering. Everybody want Woody here. Get him out of here. We got us paying these kids and they trash. Number one delivering. Everybody want Woody Head. Get him out of here. We got us paying these kids and they trash. Number one, that they pay the offseason to NIO. Yeah. So everybody want them to get out of here. So as a high school kid, you got to understand now you competing against people that's been in college for two or three years that don't get to play at a high level or they just want to transfer and get more money.

Then you also competing against Juco kids who actually get four years now after they leave JUCO, just like you out of high school. So now you had an uphill battle against grown men. So if you ain't putting in the work in high school, you damn near going to get missed the boat. Because these D2 kids, too, are going to school, and and they're getting better and they're growing men. So if I got a D2 kid that's been in school for two years and they got better and I got a high school kid who I can get, I'm like, shit, he's already been to college for two years. His body developed. I don't got to worry about that immature stuff.

He knows how to play the game. Let me get this D2 kid who's been playing well, who's been averaging 20 at the D2 level. He can come help me right now. I don't got to develop him or nothing. So that's why I tell the kids at Pike, if you find a college that fall in love with you as a sophomore, junior, senior, and they offer you a scholarship,

you might need to really tap in instead of waiting and saying, oh, all these offers going to come to me. I'm like, okay, if you a five-star, they're my only people getting them offers like that, a five-star. True. A lead level that they feel they can come help them immediately because they're paying you money. All those shaky three-star, four-star, it ain't going to be the same, man. You're going to be waiting, waiting, and waiting.

And then it might get a little spooky. So if you find a school that love you and you love that school, man, you might want to tap in. I see you dropping gospel this morning. Nah, man. That shit and you love that school, man, you might want to tap in. Yeah. T, dropping gospel this morning. Nah, man. That shit getting spooky for these kids, man. And on the flip side of it, those Juco kids, those Division II, Division III school kids, them games only get better because now, listen, we always had the kids, I want to go D1. Nah, that might be the route now, honestly, because that's giving yourself an advantage

if you ain't all the way there. Yeah, facts. Man, Juco might be definitely the move because you can go there for two years, a year or two. Still have four years left to rule. Yeah. Go lock in and get that NIL from the school for four years. Come on, man. And you developed your game.

You older. You more seasoned. And that's what coaches want. They want kids they can plug and play right now. They don't need no development. So that's why, once again, you high school kids, if you find a school that loves you and they want to offer you a scholarship out of high school,

you got to tap in. Yeah, I'm signing junior year. Yeah. Or committed. Yeah, you know what I mean? Because it's going to get spooky. And I hate that because your goal was to go to college after high school, right? Like, I play high school basketball.

I go to college. But now that guys can transfer whenever they want, money, all this stuff, it's just tough for high school kids. Most definitely. But also a benefit too is some of those kids who go to Juco route and didn't have that success in D1. Yeah. Now you've got a chance to make money.

If you're not going to, you can go kill, get an NIL deal, make half a ticket, maybe a mil if you're lucky enough. And you know, then you start your overseas career. A lot of these kids was coming out of college,

just having to figure it out. So it's definitely pros and cons. It's definitely pros and cons the situation it's definitely pros and cons i mean like a juco kid who just was on a on a bad path you can change your life for two years go to juco get your life together and then you can go play at a high level d1 yeah and shit really changed your life so it's pros and cons to everything but uh shout out to uncle rick for putting that out there because now i put everybody on alert. Yeah. And what he's doing up there, it's like, man, it's crazy, bro.

Man, the way he turned around that program, you only can understand. And then, like, even on the football side, if you hear what Deion Sanders said, he said, I don't even use my money to fly. You know, you got $200,000 a year for the private flights to go recruit. He's like, what do I need that for? I ain't going to recruit. I'm, you got 200,000 a year for the private flights to go recruit. It's like, what I need that for? I ain't going to recruit. I'm going straight to the portal.

I ain't going to see you high school kids. You hear your favorite coach, Rick Pitino, legendary coach, Deion Sander, one of our favorite coaches. Come on, bro.

I ain't wasting my time recruiting you high school kids. Y'all can't help me right away. My job on the line every year. Yeah, so there's a bunch of 23, 24 yearyear-olds that I can go snag. I'm going to get you.

I'm going to wait. Get you when you're 21, King. Yeah. I have four years of eligibility. I can go get somebody. That is crazy, though, bro. Think about it. I'm going to go get somebody from Alabama who was a second string draft.

Alabama. He was second string. He got in. He made some plays. He didn't get to play. Dude coming back. He a sophomore, 22. He already not a player. Let me get him. He didn't get to play. Dude coming back, he a sophomore, 22. He already not a player.

Let me get him. I ain't got to go get that 18-year-old that still live with his mama. That nigga that made that fake school was ahead of his time. Bishop Sycamore. Bishop Sycamore was ahead of their time. He knew. The real deal. Thanks, bro.

That's crazy, bro. I couldn't imagine being 18. And football is different than hoop.I. Thanks, bro. That's crazy, bro. I could imagine being 18 and football is different than hoop. Yeah. You 18 going to a school and it's a team. You play Colorado. Everybody 21 and up, bro. Man, facts. You damn near it.

Dude, that's damn near going against NFL players at that point. I've been lifting for three years straight at the college level. I done seen every defense. Fuck. You fresh out of Pikeweight room. You're cooked. You're a Christmas. Damn.

For sure, man. And last but not least, man, sadly some news about Wimmy, man, out for the season with a blood clot. Please, prayers up for him. Get well soon with that. We have seen these things go many different ways. Happily that they caught it. Hopefully he gets the treatment he deserves.

But, yeah, he will be out for a while, man. That ain't slick, though. I mean, get well soon, but. Yeah. You think they trying to catch the flag? I was reading some shit. I said, ah, this is the Timmy D effect. Okay.

See what y'all did. They're not going to get the first pick, though. Because they got De'Aaron Fox and they winning. Yeah. They was fun to watch. De'Aaron Fox was raw winning yeah they they was fun to watch De'Aaron Fox was raw yeah I ain't gonna lie he cold I know I would say everybody cold but he raw like like when I watch him play you see it like man he just got it now if we see De'Aaron Fox sit down the next three to four games then we know then the fix is in. If he stops playing basketball

at the beginning of March, we know what time it is. But you know what? I wouldn't be mad if the Spurs got Ace Bailey and told him how to play. That's nice. Or get Ace Bailey and Trady.

We don't need that type of energy yet. Yes, they do, bro. Think if you got Ace Bailey, you teach him how to play. Keep CP around. Because you can tell how better Castle got since he's been around CP. True. And I ain't trying to glaze pulls. But the effect is real.

Yeah, CP made him a better player. When I first seen him, I'm like, damn, man, he getting better and better. We was already fans. But now you can see the game slowed down. It's looking easy for him now. Like, 15, 16 off the bench is light for him. Like, I know he going to get that. Yeah.

And you can start seeing him take that corner. Now, you put him, Fox, Ace Bailey, Wimby, and you can go wherever you want. So Chan, whatever his name is, all of them. They got a nice young squad. Vassell, you got him. See, that's when you can trade. That's a guy you can trade.

He's going to have to be the piece and move on, showcase him off. And you can get another core veteran because Vassell good. If you had the opportunity to pick him or Cooper, are you still taking Ace? Oh, no. I'm no fool. I'm no fool. I'm capturing the flag. How do you feel about Dylan Harper in this situation?

I don't like him over there. They got Fox and Castle. I don't like him over there They got They already got Fox and Castle I don't like it Keep him Keep him He need to go Where he just had the ball to himself Yeah Okay

Not to Utah See Dylan Harper need to go to the Wizards Where they put the ball in his hand Then you can start building around him Okay Put him with some savvy bets Keep Chris Middleton

Yeah Get some better bigs He can have the John Wall effect Yeah He can just hoop. Okay. Yeah, because him and Utah. Man, I don't wish that for him. I pray he don't go to Utah.

Yeah. I ain't mad at him in New Orleans either, though. Damn, Boogie moving up in that motherfucker draft. Because he's been hooping. He hurt. He hurt. He moving up. I don't know who needs him up there. I'm just saying, I don't know Who needs him up there

I'm just saying I don't know Who needs him up there In that top six No no no You know who Everybody got point guards You know who nasty

In this draft I mean people talk about him But we don't talk about him Trey Johnson Trey Johnson Texas Oh my goodness He probably the best scorer

I've only seen two games I ain't got to really say I think he scored a ball Better than Ace Bailey This is just me When I't got to really say. I think he scored a ball better than Ace Bailey. This is just me. When I watch him play, I say, God. You think he scored better or he just more efficient? No, no, no.

He scored that ball, man. Go look at their stats. I mean, Ace Bailey is nasty. Ace Bailey is taller. Yeah. He like 6'9", whatever he is. Yeah. Dude a pure two.

No facts. He scored that ball, man. He Bradley Beal But I only I only seen like a couple games From him though I was watching him Like a red bobs

Yeah What are you averaging? I like him I But I ain't had enough You averaging 20 Yeah Freshman

43 Yeah That's nice bro With a team With a On a team with not a bunch of Got to Ace Bailey baby A-team

I'm telling you but that seven boards is solid 46% even more efficient yeah and what's crazy is no disrespect

but with a little bit more effort that seven boards can be 10 with Ace Trey shoot more jumpers though it's different we see the crazy

highlights bro the Ace Bailey highlights. But Ace goes to the cup, bro. He do. He go to the cup. But I like it. I fuck with the highlights. I get it.

But, like, the nigga goes to the basket, bro. Yeah. What I'm saying is Ace Bailey going to be a – he going to be like – I ain't saying he going to be Kevin Durant. But you remember, like, how we used to – Kevin Durant was so good in college. I know that's not going to be Kevin Durant. But you remember how Kevin Durant was so good in college. So, no, it's not going to add up. But I'm trying to think of somebody who wasn't that good in college.

We didn't see it. Maybe Andrew Wiggins. When we seen Wigg in college, he had that one game. He went off for 40 against West Virginia or something like that. But we didn't see what we saw in high school. He was like, damn. Remember when you see Andrew Wiggins in high school He's like this nigga LeBron

Yeah And then when he got to the league It was a guaranteed 20 And you were like okay That's gonna be Ace Bailey Like even though he averaging What damn near 18, 19 He killing

But when he get to the league He gonna be a easy 20 points I want him being on his Michael Porter Jr. shirt When he get to the league It's straight killer Nah man don't do that Nah bro you don't need to pass bro They pay you to shoot Yeah he gonna average 20 points. I want him to be on his Michael Porter Jr. shirt when he gets to the league. It's straight killer. Nah, man. Don't do that. Nah, bro.

You don't need to pass, bro. They pay you to shoot. Yeah, he going to average. He going to come in the league his first year. He probably going to average like 14. He got to get a little stronger. 14, 15. After that, I can see him being a 20-point scorer.

For sure. But I also can see him being Cam Reddish. Damn. I do. Damn. He play harder than Cam. I'm not saying he don't, but this is the same thing we thought about Cam Reddish when he left Duke.

I'm like, he get to the league. The court going to open up. He's 6'8". He was supposed to have the Jason Tatum effect with the height. Swear to God. That's what I thought. He really was. You right about that, bro.

I think he's going to average 20. I think he a great player, but it's two ways it can go. We thought that he was going to be the help for Trae Young down there. When I went to the conference, I was like, all right, next year he going to be the step up. I said, what? We got Cam at 10? Whatever. I was like, we got Cam at 10?

Oh, we lit. Yeah. And D-Hunt? I thought we had. I was like, it's over. Waiting for the future. Yeah, I was like, we got Cam at 10. Oh, we lit. Yeah. And D-Hunt. I thought we had wings for the future. Yeah, I was like, it's over. Dang, for sure. All right, Super Chat, BC Vids. Let's read this.

124-104. Built an ad situation for show. Peyton Pritchard went crazy with 28. Had 8 threes. JT got a triple-double. JB had 26-6. But, man, your boy, Peyton Pritchard, you say he might get that six-minute-a-year roll. 28 on 8 threes JT got a triple double JB had 26 and 6 but man your boy Peyton Pritchard you said he might get that six man of the year

roll 28 on 8 threes he already locked it in yeah that's his that's his to lose now I mean I'm so happy for that kid man to see

I know how hard he worked he took my spot as a rookie he was the reason I got traded they like think Peyton fits the team a little better

yeah I was like yeah he gonna shoot well, I think Peyton fits the team a little better. Yeah. I was like, yeah, he gonna shoot the three. I need the ball. Yeah. And he, he's man,

he used to put unbelievable work. So to see what he's doing, I knew he was good when I seen him as a rookie. I knew he was good. And to see him doing what he's doing now,

he's so underpaid. Yeah, they got him on a steal. They got him on a steal. I get it. But he's so underpaid. Eventually, he's gonna get traded. He's gonna get his chance to be a starter. Yeah, they got him on a steal. They got him on a steal. I get it. But he's so underpaid. Eventually, he's going to get traded. He's going to get his chance to be a starter.

But he's so underpaid right now. Listen, man, we talked about everybody need a break. The Celtics probably needed that just as bad as anybody else. Do we expect them to go ahead and make that big run going into the postseason? Yeah, I seen how Jalen Brown was playing. He was talking so much trash to Tyrese Maxey. Yeah. I said, oh, they on something different.

He caught alive and started yelling. Like Jalen Brown has slowly become one of my favorite players. When I play with JB, I always keep it real. I hated playing with JB because he had tunnel vision. He was trying to score that. You know what I mean? He'd be open. He'd be like kicking on fast breaks. But I understood what he was trying to score that you know i mean he'd be open he'd be like kick it on fast breaks but i understood what he was trying to do he was trying to solidify that deal he was trying to solidify himself as an all-star and it was a competition between him

and tatum to me at that time you know just trying to solidify themselves as a team as they grew they got the max deals or whatever now you can see them them. They a team now. It's all good. We all eating. We all superstars. We all going to make all NBA, all that good stuff. And now he's starting to become one of my favorite people to watch because he compete every day, every night, bro. He be out there playing hard as hell. And he guard the best player.

Totally. He better than Donovan Mitchell, bro. And when I watch, I ain't mad at you. At first, I was mad at you. You was. But as I keep watching, Jake Beamer, I need some of them 7-7-7-7s, whatever they called. He can keep them, motherfuckers, but... What do they call it? 7... 7-4-1s, maybe?

I need 7-4-1s. 7-7-7-1s. It's crazy. I was just saying that because 7s is good numbers. I ain't say those triple 6s. Let's get it right. It's a black brand. I'm going to respect that for sure. Yeah, what is it? Seven, four ones.

He went to leanings. Oh, my gosh. Bro, get him some cough syrup. Yeah, I was going to say, we got to get Mike. If you got the plug for the snot, please say that. I'm just saying, JB. Let me look him up. Like I said, we just gave up looking it up.

You a cold two-guard. Underappreciated. Disrespected a lot in the media space. There we go, 741. There we go. 741. When they come on, if they don't sell, I'm going to buy a pair of 741s. Buy them retail.

Yeah. We'll tap him. I'm always down with a black brand. He official, bro. I don't know. He's official. I'm always down with Black Bram. He official, bro. I don't know. I'll rock with him. He become one of my favorite players to watch. And I see other guys wearing this shirt. I see Peyton Pritchard hooping him.

What's the guy call him? Bud? Is it Bud from Washington? What's his name? Bud Carrington. Yeah, he was wearing them. So it's dope to see. He doing it his way, but the way he played on the court, I'm a fan.

Yeah, you got to respect it, too. What he did off the court, like you said, going against Nike, making his own shoot, that's fire. Then the whole agent situation, getting his own brain out of the mud that way. I'm going to salute it. There's a preference about basketball, but when you're making moves like that, you got to salute it for sure. Sixers, what the hell are they going to do?

Nothing. Are they just going to blow their team up in the offseason? Mess around and get Cooper flagged. They don't deserve it. Y'all going to be shitty. Bro, they be getting booed so hard. Y'all going to be shitty. I had to turn the TV down.

They just booed us. I couldn't even hear the commentators. They're not happy with this team at all. I wouldn't be either. Tyrese. I hate how they play. Jerry McCain. I'm something.

I used to like Nick Nurse. When he was with Toronto, it was because of their personnel. They had less and he could do all these crazy things and make them look good. I mean, Van Vliet is nice, but he had him playing

well. He had all these guys No Divas Yeah no Divas Nobody we knew So it kind of fit Like they center Who was they center at that time? That was with Kawhi

It wasn't Jacob I can't remember I don't remember But they had Obviously they didn't play through their center They played through their guards And now that they got to play through Joel Embiid It just don't look the same

Was that big then? Yeah guards and now that they got to play through Joel Embiid, it just don't look the same. Was that big then? Yeah. He was, for sure. But they didn't play through the big. They played through Kawhi, Van Fleet, Kyle Lowry. So it just looked, his offense and all that stuff looked big, Pascal. It looked different now.

Like, I don't like it. You need to just revamp, get the young guys in there. If Cooper get there, or even Hayes, they'll be all right. Do you move Embiid if you can? Yeah, bro, but they can't. You can't, but yeah, move him. But yeah, move him if you. Okay. You don't think anybody will take Joe Embiid?

Niggas will, bro. But he just mean too much to the team. Really trading away an MVP when he healthy. Nigga come back, sit out 40 games, come back and get 50.

I've seen worse, though. All right. What you seen Luka get? Yeah, it's time. I ain't gonna lie. If the Sixers won, it's time to move on. I mean, Luka should have been

like a, all right, well, fuck it. Even the way he, like, Joel Embiid is one of the best basketball players to ever grace this planet Earth, right? But the way he play, you can move on from him. Like, right now, it ain't

the same. Only thing I hate about him, he's really a ball stopper. He a ball stopper, but to trade that away, bro, fuck. At least Dallas got motherfucking AD. You can't trade this

nigga just for... You're going to get something. Yeah, I was going to say that. I need motherfucking precious Rebusha. I need heavy. You're going to get picks. Don't send me no Miley Cyrus, my nigga. No, you can get a couple guys

where you can send them out to Phoenix. And you can send them Brad Bill and who else would? I'm just saying people who got players that can go. You can trade them for some people. Crazy thing is, I think if he goes somewhere else, then they're going to play a lot.

Good. As long as he's in Ph philly he's not gonna do that yeah that's cool for him because he's not gonna play there they've been babying him way too long damn since rookie year trust the process baby for sure he brought an mvp there but it just the way they play they can't win a championship the way they game look it don't get. Get well soon, man, for sure. The Spurs secured the Suns yesterday with their first game without Wimby, 120-109. De'Aaron Fox, like you said, murdered yesterday, 26-9 and 7. KD hooped out with 22, Book had 17, and Brad Beal had

19 and 9. Shout out to Chris Paul, man, became number two in all time steals yesterday, that game. Your Suns, man, losing the game without Wimby. I mean, we know. We talk about the Spurs getting better. But come on, man. What's up?

Sons are awful to watch, too. Yeah. They're just not clicking, bro. The weed is mid. The quality went down? It went down, bro. They got to start over. It's just a bad – that's damn near – this might be like the worst trio ever, bro.

They ruined – For real. I ain't going to lie. They ruined their team when they traded for KD, and KD is cold. He won the greatest ever. But they just had a better synergy, like a better energy around. When it was Cam and – Mikel.

Mikel. They did. Bro, they was balling the suns was fired they made to the chip a a all them they could have traded a and whatever they want to do got rid of a and probably brought somebody else in but they should never gave up the wings because it let d book be d book like ain't no way we see D book with 17 points now we D book used to get 60 and yeah D book he having real regular games now and it's just because he being a team player it's like they kind of bought into a system everybody just all right yeah and then they used to get premium point guards even though when Ricky Rubio was there he was like a point guard like I get you get you the ball, blah, blah, blah. Then CP came, super leader, turned it up.

And nothing against Tyus Jones. He just in over his head. Like, I love Tyus. Y'all know that's my dog. But you got to – you can't be yourself. You got to get Brad Bill the ball, Book the ball, KD the ball. Yeah, you just out there to make fouls. And you can't fix this.

Nah, you just trying to hit the open three, man, when you get a chance. out there to make five. And you can't fix this. Nah, you just trying to hit the open three, man, when you get a chance. Yeah, when that bitch come. You can't be yourself, man. Stressful basketball. It's too much, bro. It's the worst trio ever, bro. And Coach Bud can't even coach this. Then you got Bo Bo. He can hoop. You don't

know what to do with him. Well, they so happy to get rid of Nurk because Nurk was messing up the locker room. Yeah, bro. It ain't really Nurk. It's just, they got, it's just not a good blend. The bobs are not there.

Nah, it ain't a good blend. You need to, obviously, you can't trade D-Book, but you can't trade Brad Beal. Without my permission.

Yeah, because he got the keys to the, you know what I mean? Legend. Just a bad, throw the sons permission. Yeah, because he got the keys to the, you know what I mean? Legend. Just a bad. Throw the sons away. Just a bad fit.

Throw them away. For sure, man. Hey, man, De'Aaron Fox scored 11 straight. The final three minutes of the game, man. One of the best clutch players in the NBA. For sure. That's crazy, man, that we about to really have a super team with him, Wimby, and another star coming soon, bro.

They're going to get another star at San Antonio. I just pray Wimby can come back healthy. I hope it ain't no Chris Bosh situation where he got to be done or some shit like that. That hurt my heart that Chris Bosh

had to sit out like that. So hopefully Wimby... They'll get that blood caught up out of there. Especially like Brandon Ingram's situation. He had to ease it out to Paul's,

but he's back healthy as well. So prayers up for Wimby. That's a serious, serious situation beyond basketball for sure, man. Hold on Go to that Back to the steals

Yeah Chris Park Got two yesterday Nah fuck him Jordan is four I didn't know that Yeah Black Cat Look at John Stockton though That's not real

The Bucs beat the Clippers yesterday 116-110. Man, I think the Bucs are going on a little run, man. Bro said that was a big loss for BP, but I still think they straight. You know, we talked to Dame at All-Star, so everybody on the same, you know what I mean, same path. They can plug in Kuzma for the loss of Bobby Porter, so it's straight. But also Dame and Yonnas, still Dame and Yonnas. Even though Dame had the greatest game last night,

they just got the ability to take over games. And James Harden and them, they just on the road. It's a tough place to play, tough place to win. For sure. But I like KPJ for them, man. Brooke Lopez getting 22. That's healthy, too. If he can get that.

Not saying he can get that every night, but they – because Giannis only played It's like 24 minutes So Everybody was hooping yesterday But yeah man That's crazy If Lopez can do that

Twice a series It's gonna get spooky bro Do you think the court Opened up having Having Kuz in there Instead of BP Like you said I mean

Give him Brooke a little bit more opportunity to shoot nah Bobby can spread the floor too Bobby's a he can make three he's a good three point shooter it's the pace they play with okay

like Kuzma is a I can get it off the rim pause and push the tempo for sure like I run the floor I try to get easy lays not saying Bobby don't

but he's just actually a better athlete than Bobby Portis yeah sure that's it KPJ's a better athlete than Bobby Portis. Sure, that's it. KPJ's a better athlete than whoever else they had coming off the bench. They can make plays. They traded him for, what, Boo Champ?

Marjah. KPJ can play point guard. He can score. He can facilitate. It's just a great pickup for them. They needed that. Alright, now there's a lot of pressure on the Bucs this offseason. What you think is a quote-unquote failed season

for them? Do they have to get to the conference finals? They have to get to the conference finals. If they don't get to the conference finals, it's a blow-up. It's a rebuild moment. We got to start thinking about something different. It's the truth because

you traded for Dame last year. We thought it was our time. Traded for Dame. Obviously, Dame went through a lot in his personal life to move all that stuff that he had to do to get there. So he wasn't 100% himself. Now y'all done had a year. Boom.

He himself this year, he's playing great. All-star. Giannis, all-star. Everything going well. He himself this year, he's playing great. All-star. Giannis, all-star. Everything going well. They don't make it to the conference finals. So what are we doing? Yeah. I'm rolling with that for sure.

Super tech question. I don't know how to say your name, but I'll spell it. X-U-E-A-G. Random, but where do you rank 50 Cent, Get Rich or Die Trying on your all-time list? That's kind of, this is 520.

Man, they can make a run, bro. They get hot. They got the squad to do it. Could we go scrub, but just a little bit more? I want to see the difference between. Oh, yeah, Knicks can't catch in Celtics. Mm-mm. Yeah.

And he get a chance to hope And we get to see how good he really is Most definitely I agree with that 100% that Castle got a chance to play under a different coach. He had a chance to hoop. And we get to see how good he really is. Most definitely. I agree with that 100%. He gets to just go beat himself. He ain't got to worry about beating the system
