You come from real humble beginnings, bro. So, I don't know. Yeah, I'm usually always pro player in these situations when it comes between players in front office.
Starting point is 00:03:37 But this one is just like, all right, just wrap it up. Like, it is funny, but like you said, enough is enough, man. I'm still pro player. I want Jimmy to get his money and everything. I don't know what the situation was in Miami. They might have told him something, and then something else happened. That's what happened in Minnesota. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Could be the same thing in Miami. I don't know, but I still like hooping. I still go out there and hoop. I'd probably be like, fuck management, but I go out there and hoop. I wouldn't talk to nobody up in the upper room. I just go hoop. I talk to my teammates every time they ask me
Starting point is 00:04:08 to go to a meeting. I'm like, nah. For real. They be like, you want to do media? No. And if I did, I'd do like a beast mode.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I'm just here so I don't get fined. That's all I would say. Go get 40 and don't do no media. That's where you at. Yeah, that would be a better way. Where's my I would say. Go get 40 and don't do no media. That's where we're at. Yeah, that would be a better way. Where's my man that didn't do media when he dropped the pass?

Starting point is 00:04:42 We gonna laugh about it. Nah, somebody in the live comments is going to torture you, but we're going to show love for sure. Listen, Centell, you know, that's our people. They did Isaiah Greasy yesterday, man. Yeah, they did, man. They put out a report that said the NBA put up a restraint on Isaiah Thomas. Man, I'm sick of them.
Starting point is 00:05:00 We ain't going to do that. Centell, now I got to draw the line. We ain't doing that. That's our guy. Isaiah Thomas Leonard, man. Nah, that's our guy, man. We can't let y' to do that. Centell, now I got to draw the line. We ain't doing that. That's our guy. That's our guy, man. We can't let y'all do that one. But we still rocked it with the Centell. We need to clap for sure. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Like you said, he love hooping. I'm like, damn. I don't know. When did you give up? I mean, I'm not saying he need to give up. Obviously, he still got basketball left. But I'm just like, damn. When is the writing on the wall? You know? I mean, I'm not saying he need to give up. Obviously, he still got basketball left, but I'm just like, damn. When is the writing
Starting point is 00:05:28 on the wall? You know what I mean? I think he don't want to go hoop with the niggas at the Y, bro. He probably don't got no good group like you. You know what I mean? Go get some good bump balls. You know, I mean, I don't know if he's still in Seattle. There's probably some good runs out there, but
Starting point is 00:05:44 he like, shit, if I can go to the G League and get a good run, fuck it. I mean, I't know if he's still in Seattle there's probably some good runs out there but he like shit if I can go to the G League and get a good run fuck it I mean I know he want to play in the league because he said he want to play two or three more years or whatever so I know he going to the G League
Starting point is 00:05:51 so he can go kill real quick and hopefully get caught up I get it I was just wondering like he going to have to average 40 yeah he done it he done it a couple times well that's what I'm saying though
Starting point is 00:06:01 like he can't go in there averaging 15 nah nah he just last year he averaged what 33 yeah he got called last year didn't he yeah oh's what I'm saying, though. He can't go in there averaging 15. Nah, nah. Last year, he averaged, what, 33? Yeah, he got called last year, didn't he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Oh, yeah. So, I'm saying he's going to have to do that again. But I think he just loves hooping like y'all do, though. Nah, facts. I know he loves hooping. But I'm like, he's so talented. I didn't see him do commentating and other stuff like that. And, like, analyst work. I just never under, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:24 You could just say he loves basketball. He feel like it got stripped from him, though. It work. I just never under... I don't know. You could just say he loved basketball. He felt like it got stripped from him, though. It did. It did. To be fair, he was on his way to being a Hall of Famer. Yeah, bro. Like, he was on that pace. But he was, like, a three-time All-Star.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah, bro. And just actually getting better and better every year. And then he said he had mastered the game, so... And he was. He was averaging them to 30 points at 5'9". Yeah, bro. You figured it out. So it did get stripped from him, but damn.
Starting point is 00:06:50 And I know, I mean, I understand, you know, you traded for Kyrie, but, you know, saying previous, saying Travis, Thomas was dogging shit. Yeah. So I understand why he feel the way he feel. I get it. Yeah, he was a, it might be unpopular, but he was damn near the best point guard. I get it. He was... It might be unpopular, but
Starting point is 00:07:05 he was damn near the best point guard. Where? Them two years. That year he got hurt. In the league? Yeah. Bro, he was averaging 30. You talking about 15 to 16? He had a cool... Nah, bro. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Isaiah Thomas was a killer, bro. Come on, bro. He was averaging 28, bro. I swear to you. Isaiah Thomas was a killer, bro. Come on, bro. He was averaging 28, bro. I swear to you. I just got rid of my headache this morning, bro. Bro, he was averaging 28 points a game. Isaiah Thomas was a killer, bro. The best point guard in the league is crazy.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I said he was up there. And it was kind of debatable, bro. You got to think about their team. He had them what top two in the east damn near and you can't name another motherfucker
Starting point is 00:07:49 on that team but Al Horford he ranks high to me because just of his height his you know what I mean but just think about
Starting point is 00:07:56 who else was on that team they had Jay Crowder Avery Bradley Avery Bradley no shout out no slight to them but yeah
Starting point is 00:08:04 like they ain't really moving the needle nowhere. Not him dragging that team up like that. However, it was him. Brad had great schemes for him too. So you think he got a young impact? My nigga had 50 in a
Starting point is 00:08:20 playoff game. After the system. The best player in the league. He had a team. He said he had the best season of those people. Yeah, he was definitely top of the season.
Starting point is 00:08:30 I ain't going for the best PG, but the season, yeah, he definitely was there. That season right there, he was arguably probably the best guard in the league. You couldn't stop him.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Jump down there. Go to the top 10. I'm sure he was in. Steph 1, Russell 2, Chris Paul 3, Kyle Lowry 4, Dane 5, Kimba 6. They was lying. John Wall 7, Reggie 8, Drew 9, Teague 10. Where is he on this list?
Starting point is 00:08:54 Yeah, they was lying. I was not better than him to hear. They lying. They averaged 28. For sure. We got to move on, man. But shout out to IT, man. In fact, as much as you play, bro, people didn't even think. We got to move on, man. But shout out to our team, man. Our team was good as shit.
Starting point is 00:09:05 In fact, as much as you played, bro, people didn't even think. That's a random stat for you. He was top 10. Like, niggas don't know how good a nigga was. Niggas just talk shit. They comment on that run. They was like, people forget that. Like, he was a real NBA player.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Nah, for real, bro. Fucking with us, you never played with N1. You played with us all the time. I forgot I played basketball. How much niggas roast field is it? When I see my highlights, I be like, damn. I forgot I did hoop. Damn.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Nah, but shout out to IT, man. Still living the journey. Hoop out, brother. The Rockets took care of the Celtics yesterday. Crazy, crazy game. The game winner from Thompson. Hey, man, y'all broadcast this game live. Tell me, Dylan Brooks.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Yeah, man. Team three from Dylan Brooks. Wow. He shot 15 of them hoes. 15. That's a great night. I'm hooping. I like the Rockets, man. They're fun. Watching that game, they're a fun team to watch. They kind of play free.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Everybody get a chance. I like them. I like Emei. I like how he coached. He got that get back yesterday, too. Love get a chance. I like him. I like Eme. I like how he coach. He got that get back yesterday too. Love to see that. And he was trapping JT. You could tell he wanted to win that game. That game
Starting point is 00:10:16 meant a lot to Rockets. Yeah, I got you. I don't know. I was calling at the end of the game. JB was out of pocket. What'd he do? He should have gave the ball to Jason Tatum, man. They was doubling up. He tied the game up, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Like, come on, bro. I'm letting you cook all game, bro. JB definitely had told you he was cooking all game. Yeah, he was cooking all game, bro. But, like, I think I'm open. Pass the ball, bro. They doubled him, though. But that's inmate knowing that team.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah. He like, get the ball out of Jason's hand. JB would try to take it home. Nah, for real. That's coaching, yeah. He's got the personnel, for sure. And JB did what he was supposed to do. Thompson did his thing, too.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Went crazy. I told you, man. He a star. You'll never, ever get your bitch back. Man, he a star. It's over for Jabari. Yeah, he going to have to get off the mud. And that's no disrespect, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Bro. I've been hurt before. Yeah. Nah, bro. You right. It's just the leap that Thompson is taking. You got to kind of be like, yeah, bro. He a star.
Starting point is 00:11:21 If he's on the bench, somebody from front office is going to be down and say, if he's not starting, you're not going to be here. He just does so much for the team. He's a better all If he's on the bench, somebody from front office is going to be down and say, if he's not starting, you're not going to be here. He just does so much for the team. He's a better all-around player than... 13 from 19. Once he figure out his three ball, that jump shot, bro, he got a star written all over him.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It was interesting to hear you and Gil talk about that. You said it's going to probably take two years for him to break it down and get it back up. Yeah. Jump shot to be elite. So in two years, it's probably it down and get it back up. Yeah. For the jump shot to be elite. So in two years, it's probably what, contract time?
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yeah, he'll be max for sure. Like, if he can get his jumper just to like Lou Dort status. Remember, Lou Dort couldn't shoot. Nah, he didn't have any cash money. And now Lou Dort down there at 38 from the three,
Starting point is 00:11:57 I think, somewhere around there. If he can get it just to that point, ah, he going to be unguardable. And then you rebound like Giannis, boy. Man. He said that jump was crazy, bro. And he wasn't playing those unguardable. And they rebound like Giannis, boy. Man, what he said was crazy,
Starting point is 00:12:06 bro. And he wasn't playing those scrunchies. He played two of the best wings in the NBA. The best duo in the NBA. But then, he like a matchup nightmare
Starting point is 00:12:15 because he played a four. So you got Porzingis and Lou Cornette. They switching off on him. And he just running full speed at him like Giannis. And getting to the basket, then playing in transition.
Starting point is 00:12:26 He's too athletic, too fast. He's one of the highest jumping dudes in the league. Cornette playing too many minutes for me. I don't want to take no money out of nobody's family mouth, but I'm asleep, bro. Having him in at the end of the game was crazy. Well, White was out. Who else was out?
Starting point is 00:12:42 Yeah, I was going to say, but they probably, this is just his night to play, bro. Jason Tatum. Put. Who else was out? Yeah, I was going to say, but they probably, this is just one, this is just not to play, bro. Jason Taito. Get on, put on your Magic Johnson jersey. Play the five. I'm nothing, bro. Al Horford was out.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Yeah, bro. They just chilling, bro. They need to rest, bro. That whole team needs to sit and be, all-star breakers are going to be great to that team. Oh, for sure. Hey, but shout out
Starting point is 00:13:02 to the Rockets for winning the game where they start players and play the best. Like, we just shout out to, I mean, obviously, they're important players, but we didn't say Jalen Green. We didn't say Shagun.
Starting point is 00:13:09 We said two of their role players went crazy. That's a good sign as well, man. Yeah. Jalen Green needs Thompson, though. He needs Thompson, bro. Oh, yeah. He also got hurt, though.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Yeah. Man, nigga, I was... Well, like Mike Tyson got him. Yeah, for sure. But I didn't stop him from shooting 3 for 13, boy. He said, I'm going to still try.

Starting point is 00:18:23 topic the other day when somebody misquoted me and told me that Donovan Mitchell was better than Shea and then said, move on, nigga. I swear. Move on.
Starting point is 00:18:35 He said it. No, I did not, nigga. He did. I said Donovan Mitchell was better than him. So whoever is the, I'm not going to call you off, supporter of him that told him that you're a liar.

Oh, okay. He made the playoffs one time. Yeah. Oh, that's nasty. Free that man. Yeah, that's just... I wouldn't take him because I don't think he's a leader. I think
Starting point is 00:19:53 he's a great basketball player. I don't think he's a leader. I don't think he can lead my franchise. Who more skilled? Now, that's a good question. Even better one. Who more athletic? Zach Levine. Who more skilled? Zach Levine. Who more skilled? That's debatable.
Starting point is 00:20:09 They both skilled as fuck. They both can shoot the three, both get to the basket. Okay. I ain't mad at that pitch. I think Donovan more of a dog. I think he got
Starting point is 00:20:21 a little more dog in him. You know what I mean? I ain't saying Zach don't. And it might just be. I think Donovan got a little more dog in him like you know what I mean I ain't saying Zach don't and it might just be I think I haven't got a chance to display it it might just be the teams he was on so I don't get a chance to see that but
Starting point is 00:20:32 I think once Zach get around some people that's on his level on that type of time you gonna see that too maybe he might I just haven't yeah that's true but he is in that conversation
Starting point is 00:20:41 of top shooting guards in the league though yeah I see what you're saying that's all I was saying but the boys y'all still gotta trade him it's true y'all trade in that conversation of the top shooting guards in the league, though. Yeah, I see what you're saying. That's all I was saying. But the Bulls, y'all still got to trade him. It's true. Y'all got to trade Boots. Don't fall for this fool's gold.
Starting point is 00:20:49 They're doing all right right now. Don't go try to make a playoff push. It don't matter. You need a very, very high pick this year. Freedom guys, man. Don't fall for the fool's gold. Like, I think if we see him with the Denver Nuggets,
Starting point is 00:20:59 the Lakers or something, we appreciate Zach Levine a little more. We'd be like, damn. Yeah. Maybe not the Lakers. No, the Nuggets. I think we'd be like, damn. Maybe not the Lakers. No, please not the Lakers. We'd probably hate him if he go to the Lakers.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Yeah, we would. He'd fuck around and have a 8, 9, 10 point game. Motherfuckers start calling him sad and shit. Yeah, they're not kind to people over there. But the way they did Westbrook. They do everybody greasy, though. They are equal opportunities
Starting point is 00:21:25 over there. Yeah, D-Low. Yeah, you're getting close. The only person, they used to hate on Brian when Brian first got through.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Hell yeah. And some Laker fans still hate Brian. Yeah. The first Laker team with Lance doing that guitar shit and they was getting
Starting point is 00:21:36 their ass whooped. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they was mad at them. That Robert Sacre Lakers team back, oh, yeah, they used to get blamed. But I think exactly
Starting point is 00:21:44 what you should be a Nugget, bro. After seeing what's going on with the Nuggets, and maybe they need a little break, too, because they had a hell of a stretch. They still need another
Starting point is 00:21:50 dynamic score on that team. I think he'd fit well with them. He deserved the opportunity for sure. Yeah, it wouldn't be bad. For sure, man. Speaking of the Lakers, man, AD went crazy yesterday,
Starting point is 00:21:59 42-23. They got their fourth straight in a row over the Hornets, 112-107. Will numbers. Elite numbers. After the game or? Nah.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Not just before. Nah, just during the game. Shout out to AD in his situation. Brian had 22, 87. Miles Bridges had 26. Mellon had seven because he went down with an injury, unfortunately. That's the only reason why they won. Yeah, I was gonna say
Starting point is 00:22:25 it was a close game but he didn't play the whole game too man he might have fucking got injured he more like his ankle's worse
Starting point is 00:22:31 than Steph yeah it is I agree bro Steph had them old school ankle braces too I think he didn't got injured every year he played
Starting point is 00:22:38 yeah damn like what's the most games Melo played in the season probably the all-star year might be that nigga just
Starting point is 00:22:49 right the fuck is that Laney ball what that nigga in chat GPT I wonder how many like what's the most he played
Starting point is 00:23:00 cause he stay hurt on Google you probably can just type in Melo Ball stats and it'll all pop up boom because he stayed hurt. On Google, you probably can just type in LaMelo Wall stats and it'll all pop up. Boom. Yeah, I'll start here.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Damn. Yep. Damn, look at that. 31, 22, 36, 75, and 51. Yeah. That's quiet, bro.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Yeah, he just got to the league. He's about as bad as Zion. You know what's fire about that? But nobody say shit. Hey, he would play like 200 games and get a max deal. That's fire. That's crazy. Has anybody got...
Starting point is 00:23:34 We got a million for all. We don't have the off or allegations. He got a million for every game he played. Yeah. He played less than Zion Zion been here a little bit longer too they can't
Starting point is 00:23:50 nah they can't he came in a year before yeah yeah this year before nah they got the same lineage hey shout out to them
Starting point is 00:24:00 for getting paid for doing the least on the court yeah off the court Melo will never have a double M. Nah, never. Never.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Never. But they don't ever say nothing about Melo, though. I wonder why that is. Because, bro, he's cold. He's not loud, bro. He ain't. Zion really don't say nothing. Yeah, but you loud, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:18 His bitches say something. That's the problem. Yeah, you dress loud. Your bitch loud. Like, you can't stay in shape. Like, I mean, we just injured over here, man. And we don't even be hearing from Zion. Zion be chilling.
Starting point is 00:24:32 He don't even be on there. That's what I'm saying. But everything he do speaks for him. It does, bro. I respect it, though. Actions speak louder than words, bro. That's what my girls do. They do say that.
Starting point is 00:24:42 That's a glove. I'll tell you the top. I won't leave that alone. But how y'all feel about Jerry Vitterbo get back for the Lakers team? Man, you think him
Starting point is 00:24:48 and Dorian Finney-Smith can give them defensive push they need? No. I think so, man. I don't like the Lakers.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I don't like watching that team. I watch them because we have to. I hate watching that team play basketball. Yeah, that's not one of mine.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I don't want to see Brian like this, bro. He's not. I'm real. I've never been a Laker fan. I'm watching that team play basketball. Yeah, that's not one of mine. I don't want to see Brown like this, bro. He's not. I'm real. Oh, I've never been a Laker fan. I'm the first to tell you that. They're not a league pass team for me. I've never liked the Lakers my whole life.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Damn. Like, when Bean was there, no, but I never. When Shaq and Kobe, I never liked the Lakers. What? They colored his ass, bro. Like, I ain't never been a fan I'm just saying bro I never thought that was flair
Starting point is 00:25:29 like I don't think you can get fresh from purple and gold I ain't hating but it just never was bro you not getting fresh in no jersey bro here y'all go I got a fire Nick Bendix with jersey I just never like
Starting point is 00:25:41 was hyped to see that but I think it's because Magic Johnson was wearing them knee pads. I was like, that's your ass. Yeah, that might have been for off-the-court activities as well.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Of course. That's crazy. No, we ain't gonna do Magic like that. Come on, man. That's for the hoes, bro. Don't do Magic like that. That's what he's using it for.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Nigga did used to get carpet burned back in the day, though. Man, he was really fun. I'm just saying, like, I ain't never really been a Laker fan. I ain't hating on the Lakers. I get that respect they, you know, all they done for the league and shit. You was not a Laker fan when they was playing up against Sac and Portland? Hell no.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I wanted Sac and Portland to kill them. Damn, bro. That Shaq and Kobe telling them was crazy. Hated them. Rick Fox was cold. They cheated Portland. They cheated Sacramento. They beat us in the finals, so there's definitely no love for my end. Hell no. I ain't never liked them. But that was elite. It was always
Starting point is 00:26:31 respect. It was always respect. I'm a boy. Lit, bro. I knew they was good, but I hated watching their series. I like watching Sacramento. I like Bibby and them. I like Portland. I like the Jailblazers. I ain't never liked them. I can't say Sacramento
Starting point is 00:26:48 was more exciting. To grow up and know the thing I cheated makes me mad. Because I fuck with that Sacramento team, bro. Is Peja Stojakovic better than Manu Jalobli?
Starting point is 00:26:56 No. I don't know. The way Gil made it seem. That's why I asked. Go to Peja Stojakovic. No way to fuck with Peja. Peja Cole. That's why I asked. Peja's the least fucker't fuck with Paget Paget cold that's why the Gil told me
Starting point is 00:27:07 Manu averaged 12 points for his career I'm trying to figure this out Gil be on that though he do be on that cause my janelle be cold we was shaking shit at the door with Gil
Starting point is 00:27:16 yesterday or her oh my god excuse me this nigga done pulled up a Disney movie. What? This nigga pulled up Peppa Pig.
Starting point is 00:27:29 We need pages. This nigga disrespectful. I got it. Don't worry. Here we go. What do you average for his career? Eight points. Ah, hell no. He ain't better than that.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Wait, wait, wait, wait. That looks like one season. That's his entire career is eight points? No, it can't be. He out there saying, y'all, hell no. He average 17. Yeah, I'm like, man,
Starting point is 00:27:50 don't get it fucked up with Paige in 14 years. Yeah, he was hooping. I'm going to take Paige. Nah, mine and them done won championships and shit. But also, listen, I agree. But if you put Paige on that team with CP and Tim Duncan, he may not be able to facilitate the offense,
Starting point is 00:28:05 but boy, open passes from Tim, money ball. They just throw y'all versus Manu Ginobili. You see where Bruce Boyle was going in the corner. Hey, my stat line better. But Manu, bro, you knew. I knew. But Manu should have been a starter too as well. They kind of cheated that shit.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Manu was cold. And Manu, Gil, Manu will bust your ass, bro. I told you that yesterday, bro. I still stand on that. You get it, you're wrong, Manu will bust your ass, bro. I told you that yesterday, bro. I still stand on that. You're getting your own, bro. And Sham got it, bro. Respect. But on the other end, Gil going to bust his ass.
Starting point is 00:28:33 He's green. He saw what James Harden did. Manu said, what? Manu? He was hot. He was hot. He's nowhere near me. I love Gil, man.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Y'all some trolls, man. I love that. The Knicks beat the sleeves off the Grizzlies yesterday, 143 to 106. McHale been hooping, man. He fixed the jump shot. He had 28. Cat had 24 and 11.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Andre LaBressa had 20. Triple J, 21. And Javerant only had 10 yesterday. Triple J, four rebounds. I told you. I'm telling you. It's not the Vox. It's quiet, bro.
Starting point is 00:29:06 If they make it healthy to the playoffs, they could win it all. Told you. I just don't think they're going to make it healthy. Even if they do, bro, no. You still nothing? What would Boston be in the fuck out of them, bro? I don't know, bro. I think that would be
Starting point is 00:29:26 a hell of a series. That would be a hell of an Eastern Conference Finals. Yeah, I don't know, bro. Now, they need to play a second round, though, because they both would be dead by then.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Yeah, that needs to be a second round matchup. I'm starting to see some chink in the armor with the Boston Celtics. What you peeping? Break it down. They all drive right,
Starting point is 00:29:42 besides Drew. Mm-hmm. Jason going right. Jason going right. JB going right. Przinga's definitely going right. Every time. Going right. Or if he go left,
Starting point is 00:29:52 he's shooting a jumper. Yeah. And I think Houston kind of exposed it last night a little bit. I seen how they was doing. And if you get the ball out of JT Hinn,
Starting point is 00:30:01 not saying that he can't be a distributor. I think he's great. I think he can be all that. Yeah. But that's not what he want to do. But they also didn't have Derrick White.
Starting point is 00:30:11 And Derrick White changed a lot for that team, so. Most definitely. Let me relax. I'm saying, though, like, nah. But that Knicks team match up well with them. You think that's a real
Starting point is 00:30:18 big issue, though? That Knicks don't go to the left side of the court? Nah, because they so good. They shoot step-back threes and stuff. I'm just saying, like, if you get in an isolation situation, if you force them to their left hand, they do a lot of shit differently. You know a step back jumper.
Starting point is 00:30:33 With JT, there's a good chance he's going to shoot a step back. Oh, okay. And I don't mean to, like, give out his recipe, because he can go left, but he comfortable going to that step back either way. But most of the time, if it's in that left hand, step back. But that's what makes the greats the greats. We know what they're going to do exactly. And shit you can do about it.
Starting point is 00:30:52 And I don't know if everybody got 6'10 defenders because he's 6'10. If it could happen in the series, though, do you think the Rockets could give him a fight? Nah. Not in the seven-game series. They don't got enough consistent scores. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Like, Dylan Brooks hit 10 threes. I was just asking, you said he may kind of know them. He can make a nice game plan to make it tough on them, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:16 But I also saw what the Boston Celtics did with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. They don't reside in Houston, Texas, so. Chicks get wicked for sure. Sounds like it.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Hey, but man, the Knicks, like you said, if they get there healthy, it's going to be real ugly for sure. But the Knicks got the wings. I ain't going to say they're going to lock them up, but to compete. They do. I'm picking Drew and Porzingis over anybody over there that's a role player. But I'm thinking the Celtics got to get there healthy too. Drew been in and out of the lineup. D. White out of the lineup. But I'm thinking the Celtics got to get their healthy too.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Drew being in and out of the lineup. D. White out of the lineup. I know they can take breaks or whatever. But they going to need Al Horford too. Yeah. Have to.
Starting point is 00:31:53 And Porzingis got to get there. If Cat don't get in foul trouble, it's going to get ugly for the Boston Beach. I feel like in the playoffs your bench is like so needed, bro.
Starting point is 00:32:03 And that's New York weakness. They played damn near 10 people on the Bostonoston celtics bro there was so many people in the game yesterday i didn't know bro oh it's new vibes bro you know what i'm saying no celtics is a deeper team i'm just saying like without poor zing is they're a different team that's the biggest x factor not drew not drew was always x factor but poor but Porzingis Who's more important? To that team? Yeah. Drew Holliday. Okay. Yeah. Because they played without Porzingis already and basically won a championship without Porzingis. He just
Starting point is 00:32:33 like the cherry on top. Yeah, you're right. He just makes shit worse. Yeah. For sure. But also, I think the way that Cat's playing this year, that's a tough guard for anybody on that Boston team for sure. And if Jalen Bruss can do what Jalen Bruss can do in the playoffs, I know Drew's a hell of a defender, one of the best.
Starting point is 00:32:49 It's going to be a hell of a series going back and forth about him because somebody going to hoop. Couple more games covered last night. The Cavs beat the Pistons yesterday, 110 to 91. Darius Garland had 22 and seven. Donovan Mitchell had 21. Hay had 22 and seven. Not much to talk about there.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Is he making an all-star team, my young boy? Who, Darius Garland? Is Darius making it? I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't even know. I think Trey Young fell out of the love. Damn, it's over for it?
Starting point is 00:33:16 Yeah, I think he might not make it. Probably not. Which is cool. I mean, he on the max. Who cares? What happens if Darius Garland doesn't make the all-star team, but LaMelo does? Huh? LaMelo makes it up. He's cooked.
Starting point is 00:33:28 LaMelo's not making it. People gonna riot. We love Darius Garland. It's gonna be a fucking riot if LaMelo Ball don't make the game, bro. That's dead, bro. They lost too much. They can't do my boy the ball like that. Even Jordan Poole said he deserved to be an All-Star, bro.
Starting point is 00:33:44 That was hilarious. Come on, bro. That was hilarious. He said, I play like a player. Come on, bro. He is hooping, but come on, bro. Somebody got scored that month. Now the Wizards. Nobody on that team needs to be a city boss. At all.
Starting point is 00:33:55 If a mellow ball does not make the playoffs, bro, the NBA is a joke. Oh, you're not making the playoffs. Not the playoffs. I mean, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll take whatever you want to bet on that one. They are not recovering this season. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:34:09 I'm in the all-star game, y'all. I'm sorry, bro. That's bullshit. He not making it. They trying to get Cooper Flagg to just move down the street. They are not trying to be in nobody's playoffs. We don't have to look at the stands.
Starting point is 00:34:19 We know exactly where they're at. Right at the bottom. They're in Washington. Nah, I'm just worried. Oh, if Cooper Flagg go to the Hornets that's hard they might be hard yeah the NBA
Starting point is 00:34:29 is going to punish the Wizards and not give them no more pick he going to be B-Rad from Malibu once more on that team he going to have a
Starting point is 00:34:35 dumb Cuban day one let's go in the new balances if he does not make the y'all wildin bro LaMelo
Starting point is 00:34:44 I want LaMelo to make the All-Star game he has to bro hein', bro. I want LaMelo to make the All-Star game. He has to, bro. He's not making it. Bro, look at they wins, bro. We shall see. I think everything is revealed later this week, so stay tuned for sure.
Starting point is 00:34:53 12 wins, bro. How many wins the Cavs got? The Cavs got 37. The Cavs have lost more games. Jeff is a fucking joke. The Wizards have won and it's nasty that 14-15
Starting point is 00:35:08 is double the Hornets have double the wins of the Wizards that's a joke they don't deserve number one pick he beat the Magic yesterday
Starting point is 00:35:16 in double OT crazy game 125-119 your favorite white boy had 30-12-8 Bam was hooping he had 26-10-9 almost a tricky dub and Franz came back hooping again with 29-8. Bam was hooping. He had 26-10-9. Almost a tricky dub.
Starting point is 00:35:25 And Franz came back hooping again with 29-8. That was a hell of a game, man. Double OT thriller. Yeah. I had the magic winning, too. I did as well. Damn. But the heat said, nah, we got the vibes out the way, so we can hoop right now.
Starting point is 00:35:38 I hate to see Tyler Hero not make the All-Star team because he having a great year. Yeah, that's another one, Dad. But he won't be making it. Yeah, he won't make the All-Star team because he's having a great year. Yeah, that's another one, Dad. But he won't be making it. Yeah, he won't make the All-Star squad, unfortunately. That's crazy, man. I have my career and I don't get the love I deserve. We don't know you, y'all. Oh, I know. 24-5-5.
Starting point is 00:35:56 You can't keep K cutting him off. You can't. You right. You can't. Can't keep Damian Lillard off. Yeah, that 14 jersey ain't selling like that right now. Two franchise leaders. Know how that go. Switch the letter next to my position, bro.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Where you going? Make it a win, bro. Forward, bro. Make me a forward, bro. He can be a forward. He really ain't going to make it. I don't know no bigs really making it over him. In the East?
Starting point is 00:36:25 Yeah. You still got to think about Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown will get an all-star bid for sure. But nobody wants to see Jalen Brown in the All-Star game, but that's just how it works. Why not? JB can hoop in the All-Star game. I'm sleeping on the strong-ass layups in the All-Star game.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Oh, JB? He bought it. Don't shit. Nah, you got JB. I'm just talking shit. Nah, JB? He bought it. Knock shit. Nah, you got JB. I'm just talking shit. Nah, JB go. I'm like, hold on, bro. JB the boy going at Jason Tatum

Starting point is 00:37:27 Get off the head Zion gotta get out of there bro they said no I shot 70% from the field and we lost bro I definitely hit all my what more do y'all want from me bro get Zion out of there

They play the four and five. I need to trade them to Brooklyn. Why are you trying to end his career? You about to send that nigga to New York? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Come on, man. Not with D-Lo. He need to be in New York. No, not with D-Lo. It's too early. But he can't go to the Knicks. He can't fuck with that guy. His first summer in Dykeman. Jeff Wildin. That Dy't fuck with that guy. His first summer in Dykeman. Yeah, Jeff Weiland. Jeff Weiland, bro. That Dykeman might get him. He ain't going to see the first beginning of the season.
Starting point is 00:38:50 All right, DC. No, bro. You trying to kill him. Zion got to go somewhere where they winning, bro. Chocolate City, bro. They got to go somewhere where ain't no vibes at.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Trade Zion for JR. For the real JR. Julius R randall oh since i'm to minnesota yeah since i'm in well you thought that was packing the paint no we turn it up you thought that was packing the paint with julius randall we need a wild core vibes nah that's a like you and j luke that's crazy hey shout out to jay luke yes sir new position man with the aces yeah shout out to him bro well he the ball boy that's great i'm just playing player development and shout out to my dog my nigga music so child get them girls together baby yeah cutting music so child that's crazy you got a Seawolves beat the Hawks yesterday at 192.

Starting point is 00:39:57 Yeah, I mean. We was under, man. Yeah, they was. I was under, man. I ain't going to boast too much on it. For sure. Like you said, the Hawks are hurt, so give them a little bit of grace for sure. Mavs beat the Wizards 130-108.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Shout out to Klay Thompson for having 23 points because he had 21 in the first quarter with seven threes. He didn't do shit else the rest of the game, and that's why I love Klay Thompson. He didn't have to, man. We played some scrubs. I contributed. Yeah. OG.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I did what y'all needed. All right, get out the way. Yeah, out the gate. That was a—they didn't care about that win, though, right, get out the way. Yeah, out the gate. That was a... They didn't care about that win, though, man. Load up the boat. Yeah, the Wizards. Yeah, they want to lose every game, so it's cool.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Jordan Bounce, they don't get the number one pick. They don't deserve it. I hope they don't. Has that ever happened before? Yeah. Yeah. The worst thing to always get the number one pick. Do you at least get top three?
Starting point is 00:40:43 Sometimes. Yeah. Damn. Typically, you might get two or three. But you know, they got this new thing now that they regulate to where it tracks how you do at the end of the season that plays into the lottery ball situation. Because I could be mistaken, but last year, the worst team did not get the number one pick. They just going to send it whoever they ever think. And it's going to be Utah.
Starting point is 00:41:01 And they are trying to get Cooper Flagg to be the next superstar in the NBA, and they are not interested in him being there. I wouldn't want to go to Utah or Portland. Utah would be too crazy. He can go to Utah. I don't want him to go to Portland. Me either. Yeah, I don't want to see nobody in Portland. No shade to Portland, but... I love the city of Portland
Starting point is 00:41:19 too, but yeah, y'all going through some shit right now. We ain't seeing him there. Utah is crazy. I think he'll go to Utah. But then you might see Dylan Harper or Ace Bailey there though. Where? In Washington. I could see Dylan Harper,
Starting point is 00:41:35 but they just drafted a point guard. They got to give him a chance. Yeah. It'll be Ace. That's a nasty fucking combo though. Ace and Sar? That's quiet. That's a nasty fucking combo though. Ace and Sar? This is quiet. Wicked. Ace need to go to Portland. He need to
Starting point is 00:41:52 go to Portland. He'll go hoop. He'll go up there and shoot the ball every single time. I'm rolling with that. He think he is. I agree with that. Sharp was a dude named... Shaden Sharp. He nice for... I remember when the Pacers were contemplating taking him, and I was just like, hey, I'm not mad at that pick at all.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Yeah, Freed Simon's got to get out of there. Most definitely. He nice for real, too. I would like to see him in a different situation. We talk about it a lot, but somebody else who just come hooping that team, look like a low-maintenance type player, he don't do too much, but get buckets. He play hard, bro. He trying to win, bro.
Starting point is 00:42:24 That's not the vibe for him. Yeah, he really be hooping. Yeah. Very capable, for sure. Bucs beat the Jazz yesterday, 125-110. Giannis and Dame both had 35. Giannis just had 18 rebounds, seven assists. They figuring that out, bro? Dame had eight and five as well. Yeah, that's a
Starting point is 00:42:39 scary team, man. That duo is insane, bro. Man, come on, bro. Shout out to Dame letting that ego down, man. He a real insane, bro. Man, come on, bro. Shout out to Dame letting that ego down, man. That's... He a real one. You know what, too? It's a big adjustment, bro. Shout out to Doc, too, for figuring that out to an extent. I know both of them was going to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:42:55 It took a little bit of time. A lot of scrutiny when it gets his name, but they figured that out. Like you said, the vibes is strong. I think that kind of hurts against the Chris Millison case because they're kind of looking open to moving him to progress with the team. But they figured it out for sure, man. I fuck with Damian. He ain't got any honest way.
Starting point is 00:43:11 He just came there like, shit, bro, I'm trying to hoop, but I'm following your lead. Let's just make it make sense. Thanks. For sure. We got a question from the chat from It's Ricky Man.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Honest question. Whenever a big man switches on the guard, why do the guard always shoot a step-back three-pointer? Wouldn't that be a harder shot because the guy's taller and contesting it?
Starting point is 00:43:29 Nah, he should get my shit off all the time. It's actually an easier shot because usually the big give you a little space because they know you faster. So once you start attacking, they retreat a little bit
Starting point is 00:43:39 and they're on their heels and you're able to get your shot off. Trying to get to the basket on a taller player who usually is center or whatever it is, they could test at the rim very well. So when you get to the league,
Starting point is 00:43:51 you'll realize some of them big guys is not as slow as you think. So you get a step on them, you get bombed, they meet you at the rim. That's actually a tougher layup to finish over a seven-footer in the paint. Kick your foot out. I mean, I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:44:04 but that's what made Kyrie and all them dudes so special is that they could finish at the rim like that. Like, finishing over seven footers not as easy as it looks. They just make it look easy.
Starting point is 00:44:13 I think one thing people don't account for is the, like, wingspan. Yeah, he might have a step on you, but he's seven foot tall,
Starting point is 00:44:18 bro. He's long. They ask Smithies to do it all the time. Shooting over bigs like that. I mean, because they give you space because they know you faster than them. And when you get them on their heels, you're able to get your shot off quick.
Starting point is 00:44:30 It's kind of easy reaction. For sure. All right, a couple games tonight. See how y'all feel. Lakers at 76ers. Lakers. Light work. Rockets at Hawks.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Back to back. Rockets. I wish the Hawks were at 4th strength. That'd be a really good game. Jazz at Warriors. Won't be watching that. But I the Hawks were at 4-3. That'd be a really good game. Jazz at Warriors. Won't be watching that. I'm going to take the Warriors. Warriors.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Bucks at Blazers. Probably will be sleep on that one as well, but most definitely Bucks. Listen, man. A lot of good work yesterday. Be here. Verify Bucks as to who's getting to it. I called a game with a Bucky yesterday

Y'all think he's going to be in that conversation this year to get it? I don't want to be watching Lakers like this. This is crazy. I love it. I had that question just for the elephant too. Bro, I don't want to be watching Lakers like this. Oh, this is crazy. I had that question just for the elephant, too.
