What's up with it? How we feeling? Is this a key matchup in this series? I think Minnesota might get tonight. This is another seven gamer. Oh, okay. Early predictions from B.H. Both his teams, he conflicted, so he's going seven games to be safe. We seven. We seven.

This must see TV, though. I would love to know from everybody what's the key matchup in this series. So, if I could ask you, Marcus, what's the key matchup in this series for Oklahoma City to win this series? I mean, they're going to have to find somebody to stop Julius Randle because Shea ain't going to be able to do that. I don't see it. And then Jalen Williams, he got to have a real good series, bro.

They're going to advance. So you basing this series off of Jalen Williams, not Shea? I know what Shea going to do. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So what do you think Jalen Williams got to do in this series? What do you got to average? What do you got to average?

What do you got to look like in this series to get them to win? At least 20, bro. You can't go out there getting 8 and 10. You got to at least get 20, bro. So him and SGA got to combine for at least 50 points. Yeah, SGA's getting 30. We know that. Stamp that.

He got to get us 20, bro. Every night? Every night, bro. It's time, bro. We have to. Yeah, and you look at the PPG for the stars in series you got a right now at 26 and a half eight and five it's J 29 five and six I think you don't pull with that Marcus he at least got to be a

50 piece for sure it has to bro well DJ for you I'm gonna piggyback off that but I'm expound more I think that shit Randall matchup is very, very important. Man, the way that Julius Randall has been playing basketball, you don't want Chet to be in foul trouble in this series because Julius Randall is so dynamic and he's a hybrid, right? Yeah. So even when it comes to him just being downhill, that just puts a lot of force on him. The Timberwolves need him to score.

Jamie Davis is going to contribute, but you need that Julius Randall scoring to help AE out in this series because we know OKC can get hot Especially at home, those role players go crazy Julius Randle's PPG is probably more important in this series than Jalen Williams How about you, B.H.? Rudy Goldberg just got to get injured Damn!

God damn Damn! And then that's it Okay, so he don't get injured. Hardenstein got a hole in him. That's it. Okay, so you're taking the center matchup as the most important in this. It is, though, bro.

I don't want you to get hurt, Rudy. I'm bullshitting. But, yeah, I think the center matchup is the most important part, bro. Mine is going to be the bench. Okay. Nas Reed got to – for the Timberwolves to be successful, Nas Reed got to play well because he got to match the Thunder bench. Like, I don't know if they're going to start Caruso or bring him off the bench.

I don't know what their lineup is going to be, whatever it is. But Caruso is an X factor. He could take people out the game. Obviously, we've seen him guard fucking Jokic. Like, when you're a 6'4", 6'5", guard, and you're guarding the best player in the game, I'm pretty confident you can guard anybody at this point. So I could see him being on Julius Randle, right? I could see them putting him on Julius Randle,

fronting him, doing all the shit he do. Because Julius Randle kind of play with his, you know, he play out on the perimeter a little bit. So he ain't going to be able to get by Caruso like that. But he might start going to the post. And now I see Chet coming over, helping. And now Rudy O'Bear going to have to do what Rudy O'Bear can do. He's going to have to catch lobs or do whatever he can do.

But they're going to crash back. And Minnesota, they can shoot threes, but they ain't got the greatest shooters. They can make them, but they ain't got the greatest shooters. It ain't Steph Curry and all these other dudes running around, but they can make threes. But this is why I think Nas Reed is important. Yeah. Because you can't do that with Nas Reed.

You can't leave him while you can leave Rudy. That should be interesting. Yeah. I think Julius Randle and Ed Edwards combined for 50 is more effective than SGA and Jalen Williams. I think it's more detrimental if they don't, realistically. Because you got to look for other points in the Timberwolves team. You're going to ask Rudy for those buckets.

I mean, Jamie Davis is going to score, but you're asking him for 20 and to play hard defense on SGA is a lot to ask in the series. If SGA and Jalen Williams get 50, I feel like it's going to be hard to beat them. Because you know Caruso, he's going to hit a couple threes. All the other people, they're going to chip in and do their little part. Lord Dort might hit a three or two. Chad's the most important person to hit a couple threes. All the other people, they going to chip in and do their little part. Little Dort might hit a three or two. Chad's the most important person to me in this whole series. Yeah, but I feel like if they get

Chad can get you 10 to 12. Hardstyle going to get 10 to 12. That's going to be a lot, bro. To try to guard. Which team do y'all think is going to dominate the boards in the series? I'm going to go with the Timberwolves. Interesting. I just think they're a bigger, more physical rebounding team.

Even though Rudy O'Berry, we look at him as he gets boards. Yeah, hell yeah, he gets rebounds. And Julius Randle goes to the glass. Dante DiVincenzo is a hell of a rebounding guard. But they crash over there too. No, they do. They crash on OKC. Yeah, but Dante DiVincenzo is a hell of a rebounding guard.

Julius Randle going to go to the boards. Yeah. They just got a big team. Jaden McDaniel goes to the boards. We didn't mention Dante. If he get hot, that could be scary. It's about time, too. Yeah, he do.

He do. He definitely run off six, seven threes on accident. It could get spooky. But I just think Caruso is the X factor because he could take somebody out. Like, I'm not – he's not going to be the main defender on AE. Obviously, it's going to be Lou Dort. But he could switch on AE very easily. And that Randall and AE pick and roll is probably pretty much dead

because they're just going to switch it, especially if Caruso starts. And Lou Dort is strong enough to go out and fucking Julius Randall. Yeah. He's like – He Lou Doris strong enough to guard fucking Julius Randle. Yeah. He like. He's for sure strong enough. Yeah. That's going to be the interesting matchup. If Julius Randle can take over and kill Caruso or make it where they're getting two on the

ball and he can lob it up to Rudy Gobert or guys are making shots, then OKC going to be in trouble. Yeah. Because Chet cannot guard Julius Randle. No, he got. He too. Too. He going to show his bag against him. Yeah. He's going to run him over. Yeah. He's going to be in trouble. Because Chet cannot guard Julius Redland. No, he got it. He too. He's going to show his bag against him.

He's going to run him over. Yeah, he's not physical enough. Yeah, he's not physical enough. But you got to guard that boy on the other side too, bro. He was dogging Aaron Gordon last series. Yeah. I mean, he played good. He was getting 14 and shit. That's effective though.

Julius Redland been guarding too though. That's what people aren't realizing. He been locking up. You gotta think, when they played that Lakers series, he was guarding Bron. And shit was looking at him. I'm just saying, this is they... We know Bron 40, but... This is their toughest battle, bro.

Nah, for sure. This is their toughest battle, bro. I think for both teams. These young niggas are on board. I think, to me, I feel like the Timberwolves had a little more battle, like a

harder little stretch. Obviously, they were lower seed, but their game's been like battles. You got to go in and beat the Lakers with Luka and all them with the hype and come out and beat them. If it was going at it, it would go on state, too. Yeah and beat them. That's a big dub. If it got hurt. Yeah, but see, that's where it go.

They get middy. They just beat Denver Nuggets, bro. Yeah, but nobody was excited about Denver, though. They won by 50, bro. But they beat a good team. Very good team, but none of us was like...

FPJ just smoked it. That's it. None of us was like. MPJ just smoked it. That's it. None of us was really excited about. We knew what it was. We like. I thought it was a good series. I said seven. It was a good series.

But we knew like. It was Jokic. Jokic versus them. You know what I mean? And beating the Lakers. You right. That was a big fucking deal. That wasn't even supposed to go down.

Like nobody had that in the book. So. We gonna see though. Shit., we going to see, though. Shit. I got a seven, though. What I'm intrigued about this series, too, we talk about, obviously, the stars matching up. I think if the Timberwolves are smart, you got to make AJ play some defense this series. Oh, yeah.

You got to. Hell, yeah. Like, that's going to be. I'm about to just let you score 40. You got to play defense. You got to work hard, bro. Work on hedge and get out of there. But that's the thing Jay McDaniel's been doing. Like, if you watch the Lakers series,

he went at Luka every time he got the ball. And that's who he's going to be matched up with, I'm imagining. Unless he's going to guard Mike Conley. Yeah. And he probably will be on Mike Conley. And then that's when you got

to be aggressive when to get in the game that's when Dante got to be aggressive when he get in the game most definitely man this is going to be a hell of a series

I like the fact that you guys know what I'm saying to kill Walker Alexander off the bench guard his cousin that's going to be fire I can't wait until we get that

fourth quarter matchup of AE going at SGA I'm sure SGA probably won't guard him but just that intensity a trip to the finals who would we need more for AE or SGA right sure SGA probably won't guard him, but just that intensity. A trip to the finals, who would it mean more for, AE or SGA right now? SGA. I feel like it's the same both ways.

Okay. They at the same level, really. Shit. I think it would mean more for AE just because all the stuff that came with AE this year and somehow he still focused and got on the court and still did his shit. Like, to wake up every day, you know how social media can overwhelm a bunch of people. And him to be on there every single day and still focus and lock in and still be the player he been. Yeah.

I just feel like they both trying to chase that first one. Yeah. So it's kind of equal, bro. They both young superstars trying to chase that first one. Yeah. So it's kind of equal, bro. They both young superstars trying to chase that first ring. But it's kind of different when you're about to be the MVP. You still need that, though. Yeah, you need it, but it's like, I'm about to be the MVP. So imagine he get MVP and win the chip, bro.

He lit. Yeah, but you still lit. Finals MVP, he's lit. But you still lit because you the MVP. he's lit. But you still lit because you the MVP. Nah, facts, but he was crazy lit. Can't nobody say, I got finals MVP, MVP, and I won a chip in the same year. Yeah, you lit, but if I'm AE,

now you on that all-time list. And OKC. But I'm AE. They ain't one shit. Timberwolves ain't one shit. True, but if AE didn't do it, that's going to be hard too. And I don't got the MVP. Like, he going home with something.

Yeah, no matter what. I ain't going, he going home with something. I lose, it's the night over. All right, back to the GA.

Atlanta, Timber, you know, Magic City, here we come. But if he want to chip, Magic City is his. Almost definitely.

I mean, it's his anyway. I'm like, who the fuck he is, boy? Definitely he is boy Definitely he is That's stupid And what's fire about it

You know what I'm saying Fresh off the gold medal And your team goes to A crazy trade Reconstruction One of your biggest Franchise pieces ever Just the fact that you

In the conference finals again Is already lit enough And you told Obama I'm him I'm like I'm one of them And you do all this Yeah he definitely told Obama Watch your mouth

Yeah I like that. Man, this is going to be a hell of a series. People are really upset that this series is starting before the Eastern Conference. Yeah, it is. It's crazy. These are hella days off the rest. Yeah.

But to give you our predictions, though, what do y'all think this is going to go? I'm going with the Timberwolves just because I was an elite guard over there. I was one of the go-to players in the Timberwolves organization at one point. Respect, King. Who you got, Bo? You took him to the playoffs. Took him to the playoffs for the first time in 14 years. No Pat Biv.

I think the Thunder win at seven. Thunder at seven? Yeah. Okay. Be him? You know, these are my guys, man. The real J.R. I told y'all that's the real Shaq and Kobe.

You know, six seed. If they went, I don't know, bro. I'm 21. I'm seven. Whoever come out, bro, I'm supporting them. I think it's just SGA year, bro. The NBA champion is on the west side, though. That's all I'm saying.

Listen, you have three teams in the conference finals, so it's kind of hard for you to lose right now. Y'all are the basketball heads. You is wallow for real, bro. You know why I'm not wallow? On some real shit. I always say this. When we was back at his house, I called OKC.

I called Ant being the number one pick in the draft. This is noted. I showed Mike this Instagram post a long time ago. JT, get well soon, but you let Nelly hate on me. So what's up, y'all? So I became's up y'all so I became a Knicks fan so I became a Knicks fan I get all that bro

Yeah, it's going to be a real hillside. And then Gil's going to come out. Okay, I got the best setup. Okay. For sure, man. I think this is going to be a hell of a matchup for sure, man. Knicks-Pacers, historic rivalry for both teams. Man, it's going to be, you know what I'm saying,

the seven versus Knicks versus ten of the Pacers. I think this is going six or seven either way, for real, for real. Obviously, I'm going Pacers, but I can see why Knicks fans feel real confident in this situation, man. It's going to be a good series. I'm glad we're getting to see this, bro. This is like our childhood getting played again. Reggie versus Pat, you know what I'm saying? So that's good for our childhood, but yeah.

Knicks in four. Knicks in four? Knicks in four is insane, bro. Disrespectful. What I like about this series, though, is they both been battle tested. Like you said, y'all beat the Celtics last year. I mean, when y'all competed against the Celtics last year, y'all gave them a good series.

They beat the Celtics this year. So it's like they both battle tested. Y'all beat the number one seed Cavs. They went through the Boston Celtics. So y'all both battle tested. Both got premier guards. The battle is going to be from the wings. We know what we're going to get from Jalen Brunson.

We don't actually know what we're going to get from Tyrese Halliburton, but what we're expecting is for him to show up and be big. He plays great. He plays well in the guard, but it's games for Tyrese to go missing. Will he go missing this series? We don't know, to be determined.

But I know who shows up for the Pacers every week, and that's those wings. The Neem Harden, Naismith, Siakam, whoever else come off the bench, Mather, and all them dudes come ready to play every game. And it's going to be if the Knicks' wings can control them because they don't sub anyway. They don't. And one thing I like about this series is people forgot last year. Obviously, OG was hurt the last game.

But when it came to OG and Pascal, OG can't guard him. I feel like that not subbing going to hurt them too. Game three, game four, they're going to feel it. That's going to hurt them. I don't think so, bro. Especially the Pacers playing 10, bro, keeping fresh bodies. I don't know. I feel like it's going to hurt them.

You know why this worked for the Knicks? Tibbs is like a mad – it's stupid, but he a mad scientist because when your body get conditioned to doing it all the time, that's your norm. This is they norm. Nigga, we don't come out the game. So then I ain't even getting tired. Nigga, this is just what we do.

Yeah. But they ain't playing the – Pacers picking on a fool. That's a lot to handle. Yeah, we get more possessions in there too. Yeah, but this is just what we do. Yeah. But they ain't playing the Pacers picking on a fool. That's a lot to handle. Yeah, we get more possessions in there, too. Yeah, but this is just what we do. But we invite people

to play crackhead basketball because once you start playing our tempo, you're going to start shooting shit you're not supposed to shoot. But that's the thing.

They don't play crackhead basketball because you know why? Jalen Brunson will walk that bitch up and put that motherfucker on the sideline and you're

going to play. You can't speed him up. No, you can't speed Detroit tried to do that shit. People try to speed it. You cannot speed him up. Respect to those teams. They are not us. Because last year, Jalen Brunson tried to walk that shit up. We put his ass all picking up. We were running. He was hurt.

He wasn't hurt all them games. After game two, he was hurt. Everybody's healthy now. It's okay, guys. I love it.'t worry equal opportunity everybody gets and they also didn't they also didn't have a cat though

and they did not have a Mikael Bridges I agree and when you got when you got a cat where you can actually throw that motherfucker in there

cause one thing about I love Miles Turner you know Miles Turner my dog but when I was on the Pacers we used to do that cat vs. Miles matchup like what the Pacers, we used to do that Cat versus Miles matchup.

Like, what the fuck? That's the real shit, not the bullshit. Different, bro. And they both going foul. They're both going foul, foul, foul, foul. But one thing about Cat, he feel real good against Miles. I ain't going to lie. Shout out to Stretch, but he ain't Cat, bro.

It's different, bro. Like, the matchups that fuck cat up is like shorter, athletic, strong motherfucker. When you the same height as cat, he cooks, nigga. Your legs just as goofy. It's over, bro. He put him in a blender, bro. But if cat is that leading scorer, that plays an advantage. It don't. It plays an advantage if the Kat's our leading scorer.

Because if you let him have moments like they did against Detroit where him and Brunson is hooping. I mean, that's what it's supposed to be. Respectfully, we're not Detroit. That's hard to guard. I ain't going to lie. I feel you. Y'all ain't Detroit.

Watch OG kill this series. I ain't going to lie. Detroit defense is probably better than y'all. But y'all offense, the way y'all play is more. Get more possession. Yeah. More shots. I'm happy we got Bennett Mather in this time around, too.

We're going to need every sizable physical guard to deal with Jalen Brunson. He is a problem for sure. First team by NBA. He's going to post all. You just need to slow him down a little bit. He's going to post all them niggas. Just a little. Nuke.

He's going to keep. Mucus is really, really believing in the Pacers, man. Why not? I see it in your eyes, brother. Why nuke really really believing in the pacers man why not i see the eyes brother why not you really believe in the knicks it's a better team bro just a better team player for player i ain't gonna say they're better team but player for player bro i heard it last year we walked him down the garden they first five is way better than the pacers first every position that could be true but the pacers have a bench. Every position. That could be true, but the Pacers have a bench, bro, and that's going to come into effect, bro.

Come on, man. They do got a better player at every position. Yeah, but they... But the Pacers just want to be a more... I won't say that. Probably not better.

OG not better than Pascal? It's a toss-up. And you can say anything about Jalen and Tyrese, but... Go to OG stats, go to Pascal stats. I mean, Jalen Brunson

better than Tyrese Halliburton. Ah, yeah. What are we talking about? Let's stop. Let's stop. Second time in conference finals. It's the reason why he ain't go last year. When you send niggas home... Nah, I fuck with that. I fuck with all that.

If I send you home, nigga, you at the crib watching me. Be good at home. Mr. Clutch, bro. He the best player in the fourth course is Kobe Bryant. you home, nigga. You at the crib watching me. Be good at home. Mr. Clutch, bro. Yeah, he was clutch last year. He's the best player in the fourth course. It's Kobe Bryant. I feel you, but I'm just talking facts. We beat them last year. I think they were the best player in the league.

The beans are valid, but we sent niggas home. We walked niggas down at the crib. We had a better team last year because they was hurt. But... Jalen Brunson is better than that, man. Jalen Brunson called. He averaged man. Jethro Brunson called. He averaging 18. What Pascal averaging? 20.

And he the first option. What are we talking about? Hey, man, we got a balanced team, bro. I'm just saying. We got a balanced team, bro. He the first option averaging 20. This nigga the third. Damn near you, DJ, caught him in the fourth.

Yeah. I don't know. That's a toss-up, nigga. I feel like third. Yeah. Damn near you. DJ called him the fourth. Yeah. I don't know. That's a toss-up, nigga. I feel like OG was here. He is. He can average 20 for the Pacers. For sure can average 20 on the Pacers. I'm averaging 18.

This other nigga's averaging 30 on the Pacers. 26. What can average 22 on the Pacers? Can I play 52 minutes a game? Whoa, bro. All right, what we talking about, bro? Like, y'all. What about K Hill Bridges average

I didn't say they didn't have a better player average position Mike Hill right down there Mike 25 There you go Yeah what are you averaging 17 Come on bro What we doing bro

They played a whole game So good They score all the points for their team bro They don't have a choice bro They get all the points If any of them didn't use PTO they are fucked They got 10 missed points bro Come bro. They get all the points. If any of the niggas use PTO, they are fucked. They got 10 missed points, bro. Come on, bro.

They score all they points. What mile per par average? Probably 10. Oh, you know who else is going to have a big part in this series? Y'all going to have to block it. They never average 10. Yeah, bro. Y'all going to have to block out Mitchell Robinson.

I welcome Mitchell Robinson minutes. Nah, I don't. I welcome them. Nah, bro. He's all good, and he rebound good. Yeah, he guard, and he on that glass,'t. I welcome them. Nah, bro. He guard good and he rebound good. Yeah, he guard and he on that glass, man. Offensive rebound. God, bro.

He is an offensive rebound. What DJ talking about up there today? Man, we not seeing these niggas? He average more rebounds than points. I didn't see him air ball a free throw. Y'all think I'm scared of fucking Mitchell Robinson? I don't see him in the game. I see him get some key rebounds.

Nah, he's a great rebounder. He's a great rebounder. Yeah. Come with that same look, Mitch. We need that same nigga right there. Don't switch it. Nah, that's off you, Mitch. This nigga keeps saying we, bro.

That nigga is crazy. That nigga looks like he's playing with Pat Ewing. We believe it's disgusting. That nigga look like he's playing with Pat Ewing, bro. Touchdown, bro. How many rebounds Miles Turner averaged? All right, six. Jared Jackson Jr.

If that. Yeah, this nigga averaging down the same boards as him in 20 minutes. Nah, that's the fact. We are not rebounding the scene by any means. We're not to get him off the glass, bro. We are not to rebound the scene by any means. Yeah, bro. We got to get him off the glass.

I ain't worried about it. We good money. Passes at fucking six. You know the off the glass. I ain't worried about it. We good money. Patches at fucking six. You know the vibes. Respect. I hope the city be lit, but shit. You gotta get him off. All right, Super Chat Dorian said,
