Full house as usual. We got Bishop Young Not Show, 520 Mook. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? Cooling, bro. What's happening? Yo. Tuesday.

Hey, Tick, I see you last night in the stories, man. You trying to tap back in. Trey Young got you motivated. Donated $1 million to Oklahoma. It's Sister GM of the basketball program. Damn. You on that? I'm just waiting for my car.

Okay. No donations, though. No donations. I'm about to say, damn, freaking T's. I ain't going to lie. I do got 50K for y'all. Okay. He got that M, y'all. He got that M y'all 50k

50k 2k VC EBT He got that M He just need a percentage of that NIL Niggas y'all pull in I would never donate a million dollars You putting kids in 360 deals is crazy.

I just got to do it. I need 20% on everybody that come in here. We got a meal on the table. That's the cushion. You got to get 20% in the door. For sure, bro. It's an interesting experience now. What y'all think he doing really there, just getting kids to go to Oklahoma?

Nothing. Using his name. Yeah. He don't got enough trauma. Out the gate. What y'all think he doing really there? Just getting kids to go to Oklahoma? Most definitely. Using his name. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He don't got enough trial. Yeah, Trae Young is the real NIL anyway. Yeah. That M is, well, I ain't going to say what it's for, but the M is there.

Like, you know what I mean? He just, that's a generous donation. Most definitely. But I think he on call, make a call. Like, he trying to get his university lit, bro. That'd be hard if you get your university back up. And he from there. Yeah, that's hard. He really trying to get his university lit, bro. That'd be hard if you get your university back up. And he from there, he really care.

I think James Harden about to do that with Arizona State too. I think he already a part of it. He said he coming with the real check, though. You need to do it for IU, T. I ain't go to IU. Don't matter, bro. You see where they at. I'm a free agent when I come to school. You in the portal?

I'm in the portal. You know how I live that to school. You in the portal? I'm in the portal. You in the alumni portal? I'm in the alumni portal. You know how it looks at me? You the first nigga to leave college for real. Go to the league. It transfers.

I'm in the portal, man. Being in the alumni portal is crazy. IPUI, whoever, tap in. That's not where we started. We can't start IPUI

from Wakefield. Butler. I think, I think your Mike gonna try to do this for Ohio State too when he done hooping. Okay. For sure.

Yeah, I heard he trying to get a part of that too. That makes sense for him. You know what, the funny part about that is we literally gave Indiana University

their basketball team next year. I looked at some of the visits they got for the portal and we gave y'all a lead starting five yesterday. Pay homage when it happens. Y'all really did. I thought about that on the way to the grill. I said, they damn near a lead starting five yesterday. Pay homage when it happens. Y'all really did. I thought about that.

I'm going to wait until the girl. I said, they already built them up. We gave them an elite eight squad. We did.

Speaking of the NCAA, Olivia Miles going in the portal instead of going to the league. She's projected to be the number two pick. Yeah.

I feel you. Go to the league for what? There ain't no money in the league. Get that check. Go to the portal and get a million dollars.

Go to South Carolina. That other girl. Oh, yeah. Young Hilda. Yeah. Go to a portal and get a million dollars. Go to South Carolina. She talked to that other girl. Oh, yeah. Young Hilda. Yeah, she liked that, too, but she's like, nah, it's my time to shine. I need that. Women's basketball is the only place where you can be 40 and still move around. So.

Yeah. Or it's acceptable. Yeah. Because we literally tell them, nah, y'all, it ain't worth it. Don't go to the league yet. It's all your time. Yeah. Every year.

Yeah, she need that. She should go to South Carolina. I've been seeing South Carolina. I've been seeing LSU. Don't go to LSU. Listen, she raw though. Nah, she like that. But man, imagine the purse

she about to get. Because I think the average salary they range for a first round pick I know it may be close to 80. I know next year they'll have a new TV deal, so they'll get a little bit more revenue, so it'll probably be six figures for sure. But she's about to go to the end. That's going to outweigh two of them years out the gate.

Yeah, got to get that back. Ain't no way. What's the team that was on the brink of making it to the trying to think of a girls team that was just almost there, but the LSU boys? USC. Y'all was going to say she should go to USC. LSU lost USC She should go to USC LSU lost

She go to USC She is up She can hold the shit down Until Juju get back It'd be ugly It'd be nasty What is she a guard? Who for the culture?

Wingard She's elite Doms Okay She's the number two pick Like If Paige went to Paige Becker She might be number one

Yeah She's worthy of the purse for sure go get your get your cheese for sure nah love to see it man go crazy young lady

Pelican shut down Zion and CJ McCollum they've been shut down but I guess it's official now Zion played 30 games that's a record

for him man I don't like that man I don't like that, man. I don't like that, man. But he went on record and said, hey, you know, it's back-to-back today. I'm ready to go. They'd be like, nah, I know you're not. So we can't put all the blame on Zion, bro. That Pelicans organization.

No, it's not his fault. It's not his fault. Brandon Ingram, CJ. Yeah, it's a lot going on down there, man, in New Orleans. After he snitched and it was okay, I know it wasn't his fault, bro. It's cool. They cursed, bro. Pelicans is cursed, bro. You go there, you're his fault, bro. It's cool. They curse, bro. Pelicans is cursed, bro.

You go there, you're getting hurt, bro. Damn. What else got hurt? A lot of them. Everybody. What else got hurt? Drew Holiday got hurt out there. Eric Gordon.

Yeah. Well, Eric Gordon started it. Yeah. Well, he was on PTO, too. Yeah, he was. Eric Gordon started it. When the song is. He said, I hate this church That's what Nick said

That's what I'm about to say Everybody's saying The Marvis up right now You see he on the press run Right now He said I didn't say Lock the door I just said close the door

Why? Because people Was trying to slide up Why would you We'll say that For another time for sure Get well soon He said there's 20

There's a thousand people on live He said I need 40 How we gonna do this? He did I don't know He told everybody up in the pool Put I need 100 It cost to be up here

T-Morning said It cost him The nigga look like I get paid to do this You asked me to do this Fry Hey man Shout out to PJ Tucker

Got a two year deal With the nigga Shout out to my guy man I texted him yesterday. He said they thought I was done, T. I said, I did too. Shout out to PJ, man. That's hard.

Last but certainly not least, man. Get well soon to KD. Out with the ankle sprain. Supposed to miss a week. Just go ahead and shut it down. Yeah, bro. Just shut it down, bro. Get the vacations planned, bro.

One, two, three, can't cool for sure. Obviously, they're at 11th spot. The Kings are still trying to actively win games. They lost last night. But go ahead and take that Tennessee away, man. We don't need to see this team in the playoffs, bro. Yeah, well, it's over for them for sure. But let's get straight to it, man.

The Lakers got a win yesterday over the Rockets, 104-98. Luka had 29-6. Bron had 16-8. Thompson Twins were crazy with 25-4. Chagun had 14-7. It was a really, really good game. Best to make a close game for sure. Rockets, what are they going to have to do to win some of these games in the playoffs?

Is it just the Lakers because they got an old savvy vest to get the dub, or they got to close games out better? Too young, man. I mean, it's an up-and-coming team. I don't think we expect this much out of the Rockets. I don't think

nobody in the league expected it. They're playing well, having a great season. But when it comes to this playoffs, they just don't have enough savvy vets.

Yeah. That's real. Can we go back to the game? I want to see. How much did Jalen Green have yesterday? Jalen Green. Yeah.

Not enough. Not enough Not enough That's not gonna That's not gonna cut it He has to score At least above 15 Yeah I need 20 bro Realistically

I was trying to cover Some greats in the playoffs bro I need 20 I need a dub Yeah they just don't have that He's one of those guys That can be a go-to guy But he's just not

Their go-to guy right now And in a playoff series, you need a guy who can go get a bucket at any time. And when it gets tough, everybody know everybody plays, everybody know the scouting reports, everybody know what's going to happen. You need somebody who can break off a play and

go get a basket. Because right now, the only person I see that does that consistently on the team is Tari Eason. He don't get that many minutes. He had 13 points in 21 minutes last night, but when he get in the game, ain't no swings. He get straight to it. If we got to bank on Tari Easton, we in trouble, bro. He be my go-to guy.

He can't have that. There ain't no disrespect with us. He a good player. That's what I'm talking about. It got to be Jalen Green, bro. Unfortunately, this year's playoffs, all the teams in the lower seats are all savvy, proven best. Each one of those teams have champions.

It ain't as easy as it is. They all got Hall of Famers. It ain't like just champs. They got top 75 Hall of Famers, MVPs at the bottom half of that playoff round. So tough. Of these four teams, could they beat any of these in the playoff series? Lakers, Thunder, and Nuggets? No.

None of the above? No. Okay. Okay. okay now even if they somehow got to a golden state could they be golden state no man so they don't have much like we're looking right now at seven seed timberwolves we said we all know where a is the best player in that so that's what we're gonna give a nod to clippers that might not be the best look for them but they are young and they can run but man being a two seed and not having no advantage is crazy. Like he said, in the playoffs it gets different, bro. You got to have somebody that you can throw that rock to

at the end of the game, bro. Most definitely. They too young. Got to. Yeah, but listen, man. Lakers got 20 apiece from Gabe Vista and Dory Finney-Smith last night. When Gabe Vista is shooting the ball like that, bro, they are a dangerous team for sure. I ain't even trying to discount them.

When he's shooting as well as we know how he did in Miami, that make them a totally different team. Their role players show up when they need to. And LeBron and Luke go get you games, man. Yeah. If they can make shots, like you said, Finney Smith and the rest of the crew is making threes, the Lakers are tough out because you got you gotta guard Luka and LeBron

one on one basically and that's them their impossible task and Jackson Hayes rolling to the basket Austin Reeves being who he is man it's a tough out

against the Lakers I ain't gonna lie yeah cause I mean look at that you get 12 for 24 from Dorian from three yesterday I mean

is that gonna have a lot more? nah but if they just hit a couple of those it's ugly. It's opened up the offense so much. Brown and Luka

didn't even play great yesterday. At all. They were just cool. And they're going to make shots because their shots is wide open, bro.

It's like practice shots. Nah, that's a fact. They're getting them wide open. It's a layup line. Especially the way Austin Reed's been playing. Yeah, so now you're

getting real, real open shots from your role players. I remember people thought I was crazy when I said Austin Reed was baby Luka. Like, oh, he's crazy. Nah.

He cold. He nice. He cold. Nah, he showing his value for sure, bro. Nothing but respect. 26-5, playing next to LeBron and Luka. I ain't mad at it, man. Shantay R15.

Going crazy. All right, man. The Celtics took care of the Grizzlies yesterday. Won 17-103. JT went crazy 25-14. Old man Al balled as well with 26-8. And Porzingis had 19-5 yesterday.

JB got a DMP yesterday, but Ja went crazy with 26. And Triple J, he proved you wrong yesterday. 15 rebounds with 20 points. I support Triple J, man. But you gotta rebound like that. But it ain't enough. We purposely said our, I guess your your best player or something, we'll say, and we still smack y'all.

Al Horford getting 26 points is crazy, bro. Susie ain't never going to lose. Let's just be real, bro. Sorry, bro. They too good. No matter what, bro. No matter what, they're going to find a way to win the game, bro. That's what I'm saying, though.

It wasn't no knock against JT last week, but he could have did the same thing and JB could have played, and it probably still would have happened, bro. No matter what, they're going to find a way to win the game. That's what I'm saying, though. It wasn't no knock against JT last week, but he could have did the same thing and JB could have played and it probably still would have happened, bro. You're right, but. That's all I'm saying, bro. That's all I'm saying, bro. Can't too many teams do that, bro? Is that your best word? Yeah, I'll go for him again in 26.

It's crazy. In 80. And he's 50, bro. That's crazy. Hey, a couple weeks ago, he was on the island against LeBron Cuthbert. I said, yeah, this is crazy. Shout out to Al, man. Grab you another one for you on your way out.

Fuck it. Might get two, bro. Yeah, I don't even know when his way is out. This nigga just keep playing. He about to sign a three-year deal after this run. Oh, that'll be hard. That'll be hard. Hey, that's crazy.

In year 17, Al Horford off the bench is averaging 9, 6, and 2. But see, you don't even look at that for real because he do stuff like this randomly. Like, throughout the year. That's a solid number, though. Yeah. That's good numbers, bro. But if you're looking at that for somebody else, you don't think they're going to get 26, bro. What was his last three games?

Yeah. Early March, he had 4 or 5, and then from there, 14, 16, 26. Nobody's mad at Al for having four points. He ain't shooting 50%. No, that's cool, Al. We just having you out here. And then he played defense, block shots, a lot of little things. And still rebounding the ball to get here at five points.

He still had a dimmer 10 rebounds. And limited action, though. Come on, bro. That's crazy. Shout out to Al Horford. I've seen a lot of rumors about this. They said basically next year the Boston Celtics You know

Will lose a draw They're going to have to Make a move Because they try to get Under from that tax Could you see them Trading for KD I've seen one of the

Popular rumors They said that they Could unload a role player In a couple Well a couple of role players And make it happen I don't really want to See that bro

I'm nothing They're going to unload What Who are they going to trade They're going to have to Get risk They're actually saying They have to move

Drew and Peyton Pritchard No It's quiet No I love KD I'm nothing Yeah I'm rough I don't wanna see that bro

I don't either but That's trifling bro KD and JT I don't wanna see that bro That's the sons all over again I don't wanna see that bro Nah it ain't the same KD

It ain't the same vibes You in a way KD in a way JT and JB, bro. Where y'all want to see KD, though? Not with them. I don't want to see him. The crazy part is, I don't know, because...

I don't want to see my OKC. I was thinking... OKC is the best part, I think. But I don't even know, because I want him to go to a team, and he take all the resources he got, and it'd be like the Suns 2.0. He one of them people. He going to take all the resources, bro.

And he's worthy. He's one of the greatest people in such basketball. On the back end of his career, bro, I'm not giving up my whole team again. I see Phoenix, bro. I'm nothing, bro. I ain't giving up my whole team. Nobody going to give up nothing for KD right now. Not like that.

KD's still cold. If I give him for a cool deal, cool. But my whole team? The only team that can give up something for him is like the Spurs. And then you got this. The Spurs can trade for him. And then you got OKC. I like the Spurs, bro you got the Spurs can trade for him and then you got OKC.

I like the Spurs, bro. OKC just makes sense. They got the picks. They ain't got to give them no personnel if they do. It ain't going to matter too much. Spurs would be crazy. Spurs would be crazy.

Spurs got picks and they got some valuable trade picks so you can get it. If he went to the Spurs, that'd be nasty, bro. You can get rid of Vassell. Bro, Katie and Victor and my young is cheating, bro.

And you got De'Aaron Fox. You can give up Vassell. And they're going to get a top five. You got to give up Vassell, Cass or whatever You can get rid of Vassell. Bro, Katie and Victor Miamis is cheating, bro. And you got De'Aaron Fox. You can give up Vassell. And they're going to get a top out. You got to give up Vassell, Castle, whatever. If we give up Vassell, we can do it.

You got to give up both of them. You got to give up Castle, too. No, he's not. No, no deal. You don't have to, bro. You don't have to give up somebody. Look, that's what I hang up, bro. There you go.

Harrison Barnes. See you later, bro. You are a finisher. Harrison Barnes, Keldon Johnson, Vassell, and Blake Wesley. Well, Castle got to go.

They ain't going to let him. Blake comes to the place. You got to give up something. Get what you're getting. Don't throw a fit, bro. You're not getting something. Unless you're giving up two first-round picks. Fuck it. Vessel.

Yeah. Kelton Johnson. Kelton got to go. And Harrison Barnes. And I said another first-round pick. Three first-rounders. That's what it's going to Harrison Barnes. And I said another first round pick. Three first rounders. That's what it's going to be. I'll give you two first rounds.

No, I'll give you one, a pick swap, and a second. But not any first round picks. I'll give you two. But it's going to be future, though. Yeah, Harrison Barnes got to go to Charlotte, bro. You got to get that 18-0 out of Charlotte, bro. Hey, shout out to Harrison Barnes, bro. A great NBA career on the lowest of keys, bro.

And a bag maker. And people forget he got a chip with Golden State the lowest of keys, bro. You know, bag maker. And people forget he got a chip with Golden State the first time. For sure. Cute. Always average to dub. Harrison Barnes. He got to go for if KD coming in time. You know what time it is.

Respect, bro. Pack your bags. I'd like to see KD up there with them. That'd be hard. I ain't gonna lie. Now, back to this Grizzlies thing. I want to see how y'all felt, them going into the playoffs like with no coach. They said,

Grant is on the chopping block, bro. I seen Perkin him saying he auditioning to stay on the Grizzlies, bro. I said, that's crazy. Wow. That's what they saying, bro. Wow. So, if they not gonna have Ja,

they obviously not gonna play Triple J then, right? Because that'd be crazy if they kept Triple J and then got rid of Ja. That's what it's looking like, bro. Hey, Ja ain't going nowhere. They can't afford that, bro.

What y'all going to do next? Who you trading Ja Morant for? Nobody. Me? Nobody. Yeah, there's nobody else who's about to come turn the city up the way Ja does, bro. That's a bad business move. Terrible.

But if he been, you know, I don't know how he behaving, but if he cutting up. We ain't heard nothing. He been chilling. No, yeah, but I'm saying, you know, it'd be different, bro. You fire your coach, bro, and we number five out west, bro. You're a two-game win streak for being there. They said that was because he didn't want to change that offense. I mean, they had one of the top offenses in the league, but Ja want the ball.

He don't got none of his coaches on this staff no more. They hired all his new assistant coaches. So, he just there really. They was really just waiting for him to be done. Oh, okay. Because they hired everybody else around him. They want to run this certain kind of offense. And he's running his old offense, which made Ja a superstar.

So, that's where the friction was at. Ja want to run the old offense, I'm assuming. Yeah. Taylor was like, fuck it, we going to run the whole shit. This new shit is weak. Yeah. How y'all going to pick my offense for me as a coach, though? That is crazy.

Why I can't run what I want to run? I mean, that's true, especially if it's working, though. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I made two all-stars here. Almost three dozen. It worked. I mean, it happened, bro. Niggas got fired of being coach of the year. Facts. So it happens. That's what I'm saying. I made two All-Stars here. Almost three with Desmond Bain. It worked. I mean, it happened, bro. Niggas got fired

of being coach of the year. Facts. So it happens. That's where Carl out. The NBA crazy. I just don't, now I just think that the morale

of the team is down. Bro, Desmond Bain pushed his own teammate in a 30-point blowout, bro. The morale has already been way too high. I don't know, that had me tight.

Desmond Bain, you my guy, too. You out of pocket still, bro. Pushing me, bro, and we aboutout, bro. The morale has already been way too high. That had me tight. Desmond Bunn, you my guy, too. You out of pocket still, bro. Pushing me, bro, and we about 40, bro. We got to risk both for our careers at this point, bro. We got to risk the rest

of the season, bro. You see, he was like, man, that's my bro, man. I was at his wedding. He's going to probably pull up tomorrow. Hey, bro, I don't give a damn about these weddings, bro.

Yeah, you tripping, bro. Get your hands off me. When y'all show up in school, y'all start rolling. A team fighting each other in the 30-point blowout. That's crazy. That y'all show up in score, y'all start rolling. A team fighting each other to thank for a block. That's crazy. That's a real smut

for sure, bro. You know, they locker room crazy, bro. Yeah. Energy different out there for sure. Of these four teams, which one do you think

would give the Celtics the hardest time to get back to the finals? The Pacers, Knicks, Cavs, or Bucs? Nobody. How funny is it? I ain't mad at that answer. I'm going to go with the Cavs or Bucs? Nobody. How funny is he? I ain't mad at that answer.

I'm going to go with the Cavs. Okay. Just because I've seen them compete well against them in the Pacers. But Donovan Mitchell was out. And they was giving them a nice run. I think if Donovan Mitchell is healthy, Darius Garland is playing well. They got a chance to go six,

four, two. If I had to pick to go six, I'd probably go Knicks just because Jalen Burns is going to come back strong and I'll remember that team at full strength.

And with OG playing the way he's been playing, they give them a little more pressure to play defense, but I still think it's the Celtics. I think they'll sweep the Knicks just because

of the atmosphere. Sweep? Nah, you got to think when's the Celtics. I think they'll sweep the Knicks just because of the atmosphere. You gotta think, when you play at the guard, everybody hyped to play at the guard. Bring the brooms up. And then you already know how they play at home. That crowd already, the Knicks.

The Celtics already, too. They not going for that Jalen Russen or Craig. They not, bro. Jalen Russ and Craig They not bro I ain't mad at y'all But Captain Clay So they're good at shit Bro they can't get one game bro If Madison scored

They can't get game 3 It might be 4-1 I give y'all 4-1 That's about it They can get one at the crib I give them one I mean I've seen how well

The Patriots played The last year We got sweat But damn The Knicks man They played great Got sweat Freaking bruised up

That's tough, man. You gotta think JT and JB gonna be so hyped to play in the guard in the playoffs. The vibe gonna be different. And then you already know how they play in TD guard or whatever it's called. Superchat said, AZ said, trade

Ja for the mellow. No, trade Ja to the Hornets. Let's go. We need that backcourt of LaMelo and Ja Morant. That would be crazy, though, to swap them two out. It'd just get crazier and crazier. I'm like, y'all playing. It's one of the wildest trades in the NBA.

It'd be crazy. Fuck Luka AD. That'd be the best trade in the history. It'd be a damn nerd. They'd both be sitting out, missing games and shit. Them are equal trade. Damn near. Triple J lock in. Jello about to be on all the 36

markets. He got to be grateful. Triple J rap too. So shit. It's a part of the lineage. That's an ass work. Shout out to Jello. Who's scoring big in the NBA this season? You are.

Halliburton went crazy with 18 and 11. DeMar DeRozan had 31 to 8 yesterday. It's a bonus, had 25 and 16 yesterday. I don't know what we can do to get back to the conference finals

because we're in a bad position because we're going to probably have to see the Celtics. So if you get there, it's a great season because they're going to whoop shit this year. But I definitely believe that we can get out the first round. But what is this Kings team going to do next year, man? Blow it up. Yeah. I'm looking at all these pieces. The Kings need to hire Taylor Jenkins.

Yeah, that'll be a good hire. Somebody's going to get blessed with him as a coach That's a good call T Yeah You gotta blow this team up Where you send DeMar DeRozan? Bro wherever he wanna go Bro just let him be bro

Just keep shooting middies Yeah bro He can go help somebody bro Send him to the Clippers He can go help somebody I like him on the Clips So obviously

Zach Levine is gonna be that franchise player right now correct? For those two years I'm imagining? I think Sabonis will want to cut out. He definitely do. Yeah. But they said he complained about, you know what I'm saying, Mike Brown.

So, apparently, he over this shit. I don't know. He kept Mike for real. Yeah. Come back home. Y'all got to get rid of Miles. See, it's a lot if y'all get rid of Miles. We've been through that before.

I don't want to go through that again. I'm something on getting rid of Miles and for Sabonis, though. Last night, the end of the game did not make me miss Demonte Sabonis. Defensively, my boy be on that island looking like Christmas, but he going to rebound at basketball. He do. I was about to say, is it going to make a difference? Sabonis for Miles?

They going to be the same team. Low key. We just going to get more rebounds. Let's devolve. Same team, bro. Sabonis box out, bro rebounds and less debounds. Same team, bro. It's a bonus box out, bro. You know how I feel about boxing out, bro.

It's different. That's crazy. I want to ask you this question because you was how I've been. If we have to choose between Aaron Neesmith and Benedict Mather, who are you rolling with?

Benedict Mather got more star potential. But Aaron Neesmith is going to be your everyday. He is going to be there every day. He's going to be there. He's going to give you the same consistency every week. He's going to be the same person. But Benedict Mather got a chance to be a superstar kind of player.

I shouldn't say superstar. All-star kind of player. My brother. So I'll probably take my chances on Mather than I would Neesmith. Neesmith, he's one of them people that do everything you need though Yeah Record, rebound, and blocking He gonna hustle

He gonna play hard He can hit a shot Yeah He more like We was comparing old Pacers He like Lance Stevenson Yeah He don't play like Lance

Not at all But he got that energy I give you that Utility And then Mather is like Paul George You know who's special You can see it He just gotta turn the corner Not at all. But he's got that energy. I give you that. Utility. And then Matherin is like Paul George. You know who's special. You can see it.

He just got to turn the corner. He just got to go do it. Yeah. But people love Lance more than they love Paul George. Now, for sure. I mean, even when he was on the team, when he came back. Well, I was on the team when he came back. Yeah.

Paul said it. He said, you're not going gonna understand How much they love this dude Watch He subbed in the game bro I was like what the fuck Bro even a couple years ago With his first game back As a Pacer

He was like on a 10 day And they played the Nets And he went crazy In the first half He was fucking killing Bro you would've thought Reggie Miller returned bro He was killing though

Yeah bro They better retire his jersey As a Pacer I don't mean bro They love him bro We fuck with Lance bro He had three stints As a Pacer I don't need bro They love him bro We fuck with Lance bro He had three stints As a Pacer bro

That is crazy They all got progressively worse But we still fuck with him anyway That's a fire part Child's a Lance man All his sliders go up When he get in the city bro Bro

At Gainesbridge bro He's a different player bro His first game back Was so fire bro When he came back In against his The Creed That's hard bro

He was a dog in the nest bro That was the first time He came back with us bro He Creed? That's hard. He's a dog in the nest, bro. The first time he came back with us, bro, he got in. I thought Michael Jordan returned. He talking about, I'm back. That went crazy. Yes. I'm back on the team.

That's crazy. Then he shot a layup. With the time running out. He was lit, bro. Shout out to Lance. Legend for sure. Clippers got the win over the Magic yesterday. Man, Kawhi went crazy with 22 in A.

James Harden had 20 in 5. Big Zoo went crazy, 18, 20, and 5. You said Top 5 Big be here. You was early on that. I saw who he is, bro. He is. He really is, bro. It's not 6'5". Nigga's better than him, bro.

I'm sorry. Shout out to Big Zoo for sure P5 and Carol were crazy with 26 and 6 And Franz hooped out with 21 and 5 Alright, man, Clippers looking at that 7 or 8 seed Could they scare somebody? Mm-hmm They got all the personnel

Telling y'all, Kawhi, he getting ready, bro He been hooping every time he get on that court He been locking back in They might want that 7 seed Because they might see the Rockets and be like, we won't smoke I can see that That's play-in, though He begging for that smoke he'd be locking back in. They might want that 7-seed because they might see the Rockets and be like, we want smoke. I can see that. That's playing though.

You ain't begging for that smoke. Yeah, they begging. Please. Yeah, they might want that because Kawhi might really go to the Rockets and hoop out. Because the Rockets don't want that. The Rockets would rather, I think the Rockets would rather

see the Timberwolves than the Clippers. Oh yeah, for sure. Of course. Yeah, you look at that right there. It's a one game win streak realistically that's from 6-8. It's a two game from 5-9. Well, 5- yeah, for sure. Of course. Yeah, you look at that right there. It's a one-game win streak, realistically, that's from 6-8. Then a two-game from 5-9.

Well, 5-8, excuse me. That's a better matchup for them, the Timberwolves. I don't know about that. I don't think they want them Clippers, bro. Damn. They got too much, bro. They're feds, bro. They're going to get it done.

Especially with Npeasy being, you know, X Factor. He's the person who can get you 30 randomly, too. Yeah, that's a hell of a team to deal with. Man, shout out to the Warriors, too. I wouldn't want to deal with them, either. I know we talk about the Clippers, but I don't want to see Steph and Jimmy Butler, either. Yeah, bro, I don't either. Steph can win three games, bro.

For sure. Jimmy can win three games. It's already been proven. Feel me? Right now, I guess the Nuggets. I don't know, bro. Yeah, the Nuggets, that's tough I don't know bro yeah the Nuggets that's tough

that's tough it is but the Nuggets going to play that's going to be a great series going to play yeah

that ain't no walking apart at all that's going seven that ain't no walking apart with Yolkman on the people

no he been killing bro them 40 tripping dubs he been killing bro but Steph and Jimmy is different bro I'll disagree that's going seven, though. That's like a toss-up, bro.

That can go either way. But if he sees Jermon Green or Kevon Looney on ISO coverage, it would be weird. He going to elbow whoever on top of their head, bro. It don't matter who guarding him, bro. He said, Quentin Post is new Walker Kessler. We're going to find out for sure. Somebody send me Walker Kessler, man. Blocks, my boy leading the league In blocks or something like that

I think it was Centel But Nah no disrespect Walker Kessler His fan base All love No smut He could be a patient too

I ain't mad at Walker Kessler But take it real He ain't scared to get ducked on Tap in Nah but they don't I think The Nuggets would be A little spooked

By the Warriors But that's you know what And I would respect his game But that's not because know what? And I'm going to respect his game. But that's not because Victor Wimayana hurt. I mean, he'd be number two. I got to show respect. Got to show respect. But that's the responsibility, though.

Sometimes you got to take them L's, bro. So you end up on shows like this getting posterized. You a shot blocker, you're going to get dunked on. So we're going to celebrate you at the same time, too. I respect, man. Big Zoo, 16 and a half, 12 and a half rebounds a game. Top five? Yeah, he top five. Yeah, ain't got to look at me, bro. I respect, man. Big Zoo. 16 and a half, 12 and a half rebounds a game. Top five? Yeah, he top five. Look at me, bro.

I'm locked in. He right after Walker Kessler. First team all 520, baby. Walker Kessler could never have them stacks. Y'all gonna make me turn up on him. Big Zoo. He's killing with Hall of Famers on the team, bro. Come on, man.

And Walker Kessler is not with any Hall of Famers. And none of these on his team goes to the Hall of Fame at all right now. Speaking of the Jazz, they took L.A. yesterday to the Hornets, 110-106. Miles Bridges went crazy with 26-10-8. Now, Zed Collar made history yesterday in the franchise. 416 assists. Passed to John Sockner for most by a rookie. That's even crazier because he started off in the G League and not playing.

Yeah. Yeah, rough start. Yeah. I like him. He be dying. Yeah. Shout out to that young bull. Yeah.

Everybody thought he was going to go a little bit higher. He was supposed to be number one pick coming out of high school. USC situation and stuff. I know. But, hey, he was going to go a little bit higher. He was supposed to be number one pick coming out of high school. UFC situation and stuff, I know. But, hey, shout out to him, man. Also, we already know that them books was a little bit cooked, too, for John Stockton. So, ain't no telling what he really did. Probably a little cooked for him, too.

416 is crazy, but I'm going to show respect. Nah, nah, good job, though, man. Nah, shout out to him. There's not too many bright spots out there. Hopefully they can capture the flag. But, yeah. Wait, what? Go back to that. Hopefully they can capture the flag, but yeah. Wait, what? Uh-huh, go back to that.

Why didn't Walker catch the play yesterday? Oh, return to competition reconditioning. Yeah, he's out for the season. Yeah. What's he conditioning for? They have two weeks left. They're trying to capture the flag, man.

Shout out to the Jazz. Did he beat the Wizards yesterday? 120 to 94. Built-to-ass situation for sure. Bam, we're crazy. With 28 and 12. Your favorite white boy, Tyler Hero, he had 27-5, and Jordan Poole had 35 yesterday.

Yeah, Jordan Poole the only one that matters in this. Shout-out to JP, man. They can't guard you. Shout-out to AJ Johnson, man. I'm happy he get a chance to play basketball, man. I think he going to be all right. Yeah, he been exciting. I mean, the Wizards are awful, but he's been exciting.

They are horrible for sure, man. Free JP, man. Can he go to a contender team next year, man? He got to stay in Washington for another year. I mean, he could, though. He done proved he can play on a good team, bro. Yeah, he's a champion, bro. He's having fun, bro.

Go to Charlotte, bro. Let's keep moving, bro. Come to Charlotte, bro. You, Miles, JP. That'd be crazy. Brandon JP. It'd be crazy. Brandon Miller. We're the Blues brothers over here, bro. That team is going to be the first team to have entire teams suspended.

They're going to put the whole team out, bro. DMPs for everybody, bro. He's, I don't know where he can go. I hate that he went to the Wizards. I ain't going to lie, bro. I wish they could have figured that out in Golden State. Red might have paid for them sins, bro. They had it figured out.

I'm saying, though, if he would have stayed in Golden State, there would definitely still be an issue, bro. They need him. They do. That's crazy, man. Somebody like that who can give you that much off the bench or any team, bro, he's just going to be stuck in Washington. Because they look at him as like a little badass kid in the league now, bro.

There's no respect, bro, no more. For real. He lost it all. He lost the juice, bro. That's crazy because he didn't do shit. That's why I support him, though. I keep supporting him. You go to a team like that, bro, they sent you to die, bro. They sent you to crash. That's like a nigga who shoot up the church and they let you out of jail, bro.

They want somebody to smoke you. They lining you up. They lining you up, bro want you up, bro. The fam, bro. Real talk. I hate that for Jordan Boone, man. They sent my boy to the night's watch. They sent him from the championship team to the fucking Wizards.

To the worst team. To the outhouse. He really gets cold, too. Yeah, he get cold, bro. I just hate that for him, man. For Chris Mills, too, man. He went from contending to... That's crazy, bro.

He probably in South Carolina already. Nah, for real, man. For Chris Millicent, too, man. He went from contending to... That's crazy, bro. He probably in South Carolina already. That nigga punched me and I get in trouble, bro. That's crazy. What did I do, bro? Y'all shit me on the whole side of the country, bro. They probably made Joy Pool drop to Washington, D.C. If he didn't wipe that Pregnant facility up

I wouldn't have been mad At JP bro I would have felt you bro Hey man Get well soon For sure man The Thunder beat the Sleaze off the Bulls

Yesterday 145-117 SGA went crazy Went 27-12 Isaiah Joe had 31 yesterday as well And Josh Giddy had 15-10-8 yesterday

Done betting on the Bulls Man, they let me down finally But the Super Chat asked LJ What y'all think about flags to the Bulls? They had lower odds when they got Rose It's possible Those odds were cooked Because Derrick Rose was supposed to go to his hometown team

Yeah, you heard what Bron said Yeah The fix was in Come on, man You seen Patrick Ewing to the Knicks That was completely fixed Fix was in, man It's a business, dog. They ain't leaving the chance to lottery balls.

They don't care about us that much. Yeah, but oof. Flag on the Bulls. I'd love to see him there over the Wizards or the Jazz. That's 100%. Where he from? Maine? Yeah. Yeah, he got no time. He going to Utah. Man, sending him to Utah is so crazy. That's where he going,

though. That's not fair, bro. I don't think he'd care, though. He'd care. He'd probably care, bro. What if he somehow got to the Pelicans? Because like Lou Will said, bro, stay in college again if you want to. Your ass is going to the Jazz

no matter what. Yeah, so I mean at this point, lock in. We betrayed this whole team. Them same team same thing. Yeah, so, I mean, at this point, lock in. We betrayed this whole team if you play with us, bro. Them same team's going to be awful, bro. Yeah, so. But, you know, it's crazy if the Spurs got it, though. Yeah, y'all said that earlier, bro, that.

Bro, the Spurs is like a piece of weight, bro. That's a possibility. They did that shit with Tim Duncan. They going to be good. Bro, Cooper Flagg and Victor Wimayana at your four and five is crazy. And De'Aaron Fox at your point? Come on, man. Caps left the three.

All they gotta do is get a shooter at the two and they lit. They did it back in the day. Yeah. But you might move him to get somebody else. That's why it would be cool if they got Cooper Flagg.

They ain't have to move nothing. Yeah. Hey. It'd be silly, bro. But if you don't get Cooper, like, you entertain KD? I ain't mad at it. Okay.

Now, at the draft, I'm trying to think, who is a player that would help that team immediately? Or something they might want to build around? Start a draft? Yeah, because they're going to be top five, top six, probably. Ace Bailey? I like Ace on that team. Bucky Gitter?

He can shoot. Yeah, because they don't need Dylan. They don't need Jeremiah. And they'll teach him how to play, too. Yeah. Yeah. They'll get him right. That's a good piece.

I ain't mad at it at all. For sure, man. Shout out to the Thunder for taking care of business yesterday. The Nets beat the Mavs yesterday, 113-109. Quentin Grimes didn't hoop. I mean, excuse me. Nobody on this team hooped that we care about, so we moved on. The Nets and the 76ers, we don't care about two players on the team.

So if they ain't hooping, we don't care no more. But some games tonight. I want to see how y'all feel about them. We got Blazers at Hawks. Blazers. I like the Hawks. Yeah, I think the Hawks are trying to win. I don't think the Blazers are. I'm going to go with Hawks.
