This is an iHeart Podcast. The Volume. Good morning. Happy Tuesday. It's 520 in the morning, your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. Everybody put up to work this morning.

We got Bishop. We got Young Nacho, 520 Mook. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What up, bro? What's happening, bro? What up, though? Man, another wonderful night of playoff basketball.

We're here to talk about it all. But first things first, man, shout out to your old coach, Kenny? What up, though? Man, another wonderful night of playoff basketball. We're here to talk about it all. But first things first, man, shout out to your old coach, Kenny Atkinson, Coach of the Year. Showed him some respect, man. Hell of a season for the Cleveland Cavaliers, man. We know it was up in question for a second, but he held it down. How y'all feel about that? He deserved it, bro. Congrats, Kenny.

For sure. Did a hell of a job this year. We got to get a win. I'm wearing a Pacer hat today. We? Yeah, I'm with the Cavs. I'm wearing a Pacer hat today. We? Yeah. I'm with the Cavs. I'm wearing a Pacer hat today, though, for bad luck.

Like, anytime I root for the Pacers, they lose. So that's why I got this hat on. Reverse psychology. Reverse psychology. No way performance against me. Yeah. From hating ass niggas. But shout out to Kenny Atkinson, man.

Oh, God. Took care of business. Jamie Bickerstaff, they said, should have got that as well. From hating ass niggas. But shout out to Kenny Atkinson, man. Oh, God. Took care of business. Jamie Bickerstaff, they said, should have got that as well. They were saying it was close. Saw the buzz in the second. Hell nah, man.

But what he did for that Detroit team, turned that around, this definitely should be respected as well, man. Yeah, he was definitely a runner up. Most definitely, man.

McKinney came over there, took him over the hump. We shall see, man. But let's talk about it. First things first, man. In the Eastern Conference yesterday, a hell of a game.

Knicks rallied down from 20 to take care of business to get to Celtics. 108 to 105. I think only one person caught a ride on the pedal. That's why I'm glad we make reals. I'm glad we spoke that into existence yesterday. Good morning, fellas. Happy to see y'all. Hey, last night was

hilarious. J Mills attacked us in the post, man. Talk about we got to talk nice. Shout out to my boy J Mills. We will not. I got you, bro. I got you, bro. Have fun, man. The subject's trash, bro.

What with the voice. Have fun. Well, let's talk about it, man. Celtics in five, bro. Celtics in five. Have fun. Listen, Jalen Brunson went crazy yesterday. 29-4-5.

OG at a Novi show. Why he got paid that bread with 29 as well. Cat 14-13. An underwhelming we show why he got paid that bread with 29 as well. Cat, 14-13. An underwhelming performance, but they still got the dub. JT had 23-16-6. Did not shoot well. And JB, 23-7-5. Did not shoot well at all as well. Let's talk about it, man. OG looked like the best

player on the floor yesterday. He did. And him and Michael Bridges. Michael Bridges came up with some big defensive stops, and he was playing well. He played well. Him and OG, they the reason the Knicks won that game. Oh, 100%. Let's talk about, like you said, Mikel Bridges came up big for that team yesterday. Only shot three for 13.

Only had, what, eight points? But they all came in OT, and he played 51 minutes yesterday. Yeah. Him and OG did a hell of a job on the wings. It looked like they couldn't get by him for real, so they really was just settling for threes. I mean, Jason shot five threes in a row one time. For a game, he keeps shooting step back there. I'm like, get to the rack.

I'm like, try something different one time. Runs by over, bro. Let's break this down. As a Celtics yesterday, as a team, shot 15 from 60 from three. They missed 45 threes yesterday. Now, we can't be too critical of this team because we said they all was a high volume three shooting team. That's how they won the championship. But last night, I'm going to ask you both as professionals.

In the fourth quarter, when your shot's not falling, what do you do? Do you keep doing the same thing that got you there or do you mix it up? I don't have to adjust, bro. Okay. If I'm 0, JB was 0 for 9 at one point, go to the basket. You have to, bro. The whole team, though just y'all up 20 y'all keep shooting threes for what bro we're up 20 bro they gave him the game it's over paying

pressure damn mcgreen on defense too well it is there is no point in time that jaylen brunson should be isolating payton pritchard that is not the game plan they were looking for at all it was put a bow on him yesterday. Drew got some buckets too, but Peyton Pritchard is. You can't play this year. Hey, man. And shout out to Drew Holiday, who had some time to rebound yesterday. Some of my selections of Jalen Brunson was on Drew Holiday.

Not really. No, yeah, really? Yeah, it was. Drew did a great job with the great defender. It was Al Horford. No, Holiday saw some of them too, brother. Them threes. It was Al Horford. He hit saw some of them too, brother Them threes It was Al Horford He hit two big threes Yeah, that's Al Horford

Like That was timely shots, brother He ain't really He went at He got one bucket on the foul On Drew Holiday Fun fact But I mean, he can score on Drew Holiday

Ain't like Yeah He's not going to consistently do that, though I'm just saying Paying pressure That Nah, I agree It's not for you I mean, he had 13, though. I'm just saying, paying pressure, that... Nah, I agree. Sit this one out.

It's not for you. I mean, he had 13, though. Yeah, I mean... Play solid. Yeah, 24 minutes. He knew who he was supposed to do as well. Let's just go through

this horrible shooting percentages. Look at Jalen Brown, 7 for 20, 1 for 10 from 3. Disgusting. Jason Tatum, 7 for 23 from the field, 4 for 15 from 3.

Disgusting. Derek White, at one point, was 1 for 10 from 3, 5 for 16 from 3. uh derrick white at one point was one for 10 from three uh five for 16 for three he ain't gonna do that disgusting derrick white shot four threes in a row i said god damn bro they they getting them threes up bro they coach told him to do that though so it's just jt as the it's like as they go to uh at some point you just gotta say okay fuck it let me put my head down a couple times, get to the free throw line or something. Like the game was getting out of hand.

Y'all was up 20. They cut to nine. Now it's time to lock in. Let me get something going to the basket. Okay. He still was pulling thirds. That was up at 20, bro. They shot him back in the game.

Y'all was up 20, bro. And Cat was not killing, bro. Y'all might be in trouble, bro. Nah, that means the Knicks in trouble. They missed all them shots and they barely won, bro, and Cat was not killing, bro. Y'all might be in trouble, bro. Nah, that means the Knicks in trouble. They missed all them shots and they barely won, bro. Yeah. And they're not going to miss that many shots. They won the overtime. They missed 45 threes. 45 threes and y'all barely stuck out there.

Maybe our defense is just too good, bro. Maybe y'all can't get to the cut, bro. Maybe y'all work on y'all handles, bro. Maybe we play like this. We just wasn't hitting today. Now, I want to get some love for the Knicks because that third quarter, they could have died. Jalen Brunson went crazy. Also, OG Ananobi held it down. He just wasn't hitting today. Now, I want to get some love from Nick's because that third quarter, they could have died. Jalen Brunson went crazy. Also, O.G. Ananobi held it down. He's getting steals, transition

dunks. He played amazing yesterday. Honestly, it was better when J.B. went out. They started hooping. O.G. went crazy. Then Miles McBride came in. Made a big shot. I love O.G., but is he going to keep playing like that? Yes. He's been playing solid.

He's African, bro. He was killing, though. He was killing. I was like, Lee, every time he shot the ball, I thought it was

going in. Yeah, looking off, it's me. You're like Cat, fourth option. I think Cat was like this. Cat,

you're the fourth option. I hope Cat have a good game. The moment Cat plays well, they're going to lose. That's crazy. They are to lose. That's crazy. They are, though, bro. That's the recipe. Cat is struggling a little bit.

Cat, keep playing middies. Stay the fourth option, bro. All these Knicks people was hitting me up, bro. I'm like, nigga, they missed 50 shots. And y'all barely won. That's not a good sign, bro. Have a great Tuesday, my nigga. Don't listen to these.

Go get you something to eat. It's going to be a sweep. It's going to be a sweep. You fucking write a name. It's going to be a gentleman sweep. Celtics in five, bro. I'm going to tell you right now. Cinco de Mayo in New York

woke up yesterday after a victory. It was lit in New York yesterday. I asked y'all. I yesterday. I asked y'all. I sit here and asked y'all, are y'all sure that this is going to be an easy series? I said it was going to be quiet. They just would not stop shooting

30s, bro. They was beating the shit out of it. Mixed fans turned off TV. They was tight, bro. We got anything in the chat, man. Taye's taking it into the streets early today. He want to talk to the people. Yeah. I know they talking shit.

I know they, and they're talking greasy. As they should, though, bro. I want to ask y'all about the Porzingis situation, leaving the game due to illness. How y'all feel about that? That nigga was sick. It must be something serious. If he really left the game, he must be sick as hell for real.

Yeah, bro. Should have put his fingers down his throat, bro, and got back out there, bro. They needed you, bro. Pop you a band and get back to it. Put your two fingers down there, bro, and hurl and run back out like Paul Pierce, bro. Straight up, though. Because they needed you, though. Because your stomach hurt?

Come on, bro. Yeah. Got to be serious. All right, man. In the Super Chat, Adab Smith said, Jet, tell that light-skinned nigga he's 6'9". I think he's talking about Jason Tatum. He is.

He will tell him. Phillip Degree said in the Super Chat, he said, out the motherfucker probably his hen dog just did it again. Yes, sir. Run my music, nigga. That's the next theme song.

So if you're the Knicks, what do you take from this game and move to game three? You just be happy we got that game won. Okay. Yeah, they probably get this. let's go to New York Yeah they hype

Stole one in the garden Yeah Stole one too For real Down 20 Yeah If you're Boston How do you feel about this

Let's beat the fuck out of them Yeah They gotta pay for this Okay Y'all will pay for this bro So y'all thinking The next game I'm gonna ask y'all again

They're not gonna shoot This many threes Nah they're gonna shoot This many threes They gonna make them gonna lock that shit up they gonna guard hand in the face

they ain't gonna miss 45 threes bro bro they not shooting 60 threes again they might bro they might they get them shits up bro with no hesitation

yeah they gonna shoot they gonna shoot them motherfuckers regardless but more respect for Jalen Brunson what he did yesterday just proved that

he's a superstar in this league and a lot of people try to question it but he's one of those ones for sure it's not a fluke clutch player of he did yesterday just proved that he's a superstar in this league. A lot of people try to question it, but he's one of those ones for sure. He's not a fluke, clutch player a year for a reason. No, that's a fact. Every time he's shooting, I'm surprised he missed that little floater to win the game in regulation.

And what a hell of a pass from Cat 2 that people are not really giving him credit for. I always say use the backboard, but he shouldn't have used it on that one. He should have just floated him. He doesn't expect to be that bud. It was just too easy, bro. Yeah. Like, damn, open his head.

I wish he would have hit it, though. That was going to be a cold walk-off. Back-to-back walk-offs? Game seven, that would have been game six. He been doing his thing, bro. He showing out. He cold, for sure. Yeah, build a statue for Jalen Brunson.

Him taking that pay cut and the way that he's performing. Shout-outs to Tibbs, too, man. Shout out to Tibbs, bro. Yeah, Tibbs, you saved your job, dog, getting out that first round. Yeah. Did your shit. Think it would have got quiet if they would have got Mike Malone on his way. All right, man.

Shout out to the Knicks for handling this game one. Listen, second game last night was just as amazing. Shout out to the Denver Nuggets for taking care of business last night. I told y'all. With the OKC, it got it done. Little Chamberlain numbers, I told you. Eric Gordon, another game winner.

Yoke is just yoke is, bro. But I swear to God, bro, three of them niggas had double doubles, bro. With rebounds and shit. They out-rebounded us like a motherfucker, bro. Yeah, it's because they need to play Hardstyle and Chet together, bro. Okay.

They need to play them together. Let's talk about it, man. All and Chet together, bro. Okay. They need to play them together. Let's talk about it, man. I don't even want my two, bro. Them niggas are sad, bro. Man, Joker. 42 and 22. We not playing like that again next game. We?

Yeah. Okay, you locked in? We're not doing that again. Well, we gave up. 42, 22, and six to Joker last night. He can do that, bro. Three niggas having double doubles, bro. It's crazy, bro.

Yeah, bro. We trying to win, bro. Oh, crash the glass. What I tell y. Three niggas having double-doubles, bro. It's crazy, bro. Yeah, bro. We trying to win, bro. Oh, crash the glass. What I tell y'all niggas? That's why y'all coaching ass niggas. Teach niggas how to box out. Back to the fundamentals. Three niggas having double-doubles, bro.

Chet is soft, bro. He too little. They got to play Hornstein and him together, bro. You can't let Chet be at the fire, bro. He too little. Cannot, bro. You're going to Chet be at the five, bro. He too good. Cannot, bro. He's going to keep losing. All right, let's run

through these stats from yesterday. Aaron Gordon hooped out 22 and 14 in the game. Winner, another one. Jamal Murray had 21, 6 and 6.

SGA did his thing 33, 10 and 8. Almost tripping up. And Alex Caruso balled out yesterday with 20 and 6. Jake Williams had 16 and 7,

but he did not shoot well from the floor. Christian Brown had 13 rebounds yesterday bro 11-13 yeah you talk about the glaring the biggest glaring

from yesterday was the Nuggets yes bro dominated rebounds yesterday go ahead and see how many rebounds the Thunder had yesterday that shit does not happen in the NBA bro

three niggas I'm gonna squash that's not enough bro hell nah it's not enough we just seen it happen it's gonna happen again getting our rebound

about 20 in a playoff game is never a good thing. We're not doing that, bro. And the Nuggets is sad, bro. Y'all should have blew us out, bro. Y'all only beat us by two. Ah, I'm going to say this is more about OKC than it is about Denver yesterday. Y'all sad, bro. Niggas get a Will Chamberlain rebound

and still barely win, bro. We're going to make some adjustments. Don't worry about it. How y'all feel about SGA getting 33 on 26 shots yesterday? That's a lot of shots. Well, y'all said that nigga shoot more than Allen Iverson. So, he on cue. He ain't beating them allegations at all.

Jalen Williams, 5 for 20. Need more. Got to have more. That's the only thing I question about OKC. Like, they ain't really – they been here, but they ain't been here. Yeah. Yeah, are they players going to step been here, but they ain't been here. Yeah. Yeah, are they players going to step up? Are they going to have them moments?

Yesterday was just a. They were supposed to win that game yesterday, bro. Yeah. Russell played good, too. Yeah, let's go to the Nuggets. He's going to play good, bro. Yeah. OKC, he's going to.

Yeah, y'all. Back at the crib with it. Went crazy. 7-13. Y'all spoke on that. If they role players playing good, it could get ugly for OKC. And Russell Westbrook. Like, they role players not fucking with Russell Westbrook.

Like, when Isaiah Joe's checking, Russell Westbrook is at his neck. Bro, he see green. He like, what? This little nigga is over with. It's dead. They clicking at the right time, bro. They been shooting better, bro. Y'all just giving too much.

I agree. Because y'all right in a way. But they only won by two, bro. I got lucky, bro. All you got to do right time, bro. They've been shooting better, bro. Y'all just giving too much. I agree, because y'all right in a way. But they only won by two, bro. They got lucky, bro. All you got to do is win, bro. It don't matter by how many points. It does, bro. You know what they say? Hit it hard, bro.

NPJ won for eight yesterday. Only two points. Not enough. He didn't even want to shoot the ball yesterday. Had a couple turnovers. We went catching the ball. I don't think he in sync right now. Coach put his ass on that bench.

Hey, we need to win right now. I like that little coach, I don't think he's in sync right now. Coach put his ass on that bench. We need to win right now. I like that little coach, man. He locked in. But Joker, man. That nigga look like Pee Wee Herman. That coach. Yeah, I mean, every time I watch him, I look at Pee Wee. Joker gonna do that, though, y'all.

But 42 and 22, that's illegal. You can't let him get 42 and 22. Listen, he had to get monster numbers, bro. He always got to get monster numbers, bro. They don't win without him. Credit 99 player numbers, bro. He always got to get it. These niggas only want about two.

He always mean they ass, bro. He always do that. That's literally who he is. He is. Yeah, bro. He's player 99, bro. This is not going to be enough. This is a normal night for him, bro.

It's hard playing the same team back to back to back, bro. Yeah, and they just realized they got to play him again. He outperformed that superstar. He outperformed M.J. yesterday. Y'all see that meme? Don't start that. Y'all see that meme where it was like, my parlay was on his last leg,

and my last leg was Chet Holger's leg? And they showed a picture. Yo, I was rolling, bro. That leg. And they showed a picture. He's so funny. Yo, I was rolling, bro. That would have pissed me off, bro. It's okay, Chet. These niggas got you fucked up. They showed that little skinny ass leg. And he's like, this was my last leg, bro.

I was lying. Alex Caruso, man. Chill the fuck out, bro. We don't need you killing, bro. No. Nah, he was hooping. Thank you. Alex Caruso was balling yesterday.

Lock up. What you saying? He was. He shot. No. I don't need 20 thank you. That Caruso was balling yesterday. Lock up. What you saying? He was. No. I don't need 20 from you. I need 20 defensive stops. He had five steals yesterday. I need 10 more.

That Nick Caruso, bro. I ain't going to lock Caruso, boy. He cold, kind of, bro. I like Caruso, bro, but this is not your role to get a dub on this team. They need somebody. You in the way, bro. Not with Jalen Williams, you can fire for 20. You better get it from somebody.

Jalen locked in. They needed that 20, bro. Don't do it again, bro. 20, six assists and five steals. Al Caruso was not the problem. He was a nice problem. He played out of his body yesterday, bro. You were gunning, bro.

I'm open. Bro, get in these passing lanes, bro. He played great. You were gunning, bro. I'm open. Bro, get in these passing lanes, bro. Now you didn't say nothing about Lou Doerr. Lou Doerr shot the same open shots he did. Lou Doerr was sick, bro. Oh, yeah. He's sick. I like his punch in the back of his head, bro.

Yeah, I can't wait until we shut up and get with some jokers out of pocket for doing him like that. Just to get the fuck up off me, bro. Yeah. Isaiah Hardenstein Solid game yesterday Not enough Chet Holmgren

You gotta start Hardenstein And Chet You gotta put You gotta put Hardenstein on him And let Chet come help You gotta start doubling

Even though Aaron Gordon Made shots You gotta start doubling You cannot let Jokic just keep Playing by himself Bro he's too Fucking good bro

Yeah He's gonna score 42-22 bro Yeah. He's going to score. 42-22, bro. You cannot let him keep doing that. Bro, you can't. Especially the first half. He had 20-10 in the first half. It just got more work in the second. And you can't let Jalen Brunson ISO the bigs, bro. You got to start playing old NBA coverage.

Get into their body, fight over the screen, make them kick it to cat in them dudes. Make adjustments, bro. It's okay i seen drew holiday went back to his old way he was like that i ain't letting them iso cat no more i mean uh al i'm fighting over i'm gonna go traffic and they threw it back to cat they started getting turnovers and i'm like man all this just switching bro people too good and respectfully there's no reason we should be asking this about horford bro yeah he's 40 years old he should not

series are going to be hilarious. I can't wait to see what Draymond does in this first quarter. I'm taking the Draft Kings over

on flagrant tonight. Hopefully Rudy Goldberg stays the course. If he lets Draymond get in his head, it's going to get ugly.

They'll fuck around and beat the shit out of the Timberwolves. You need to put Julius Randle there. You can't even let Rudy guard him at this Who do you think is going to be though they'll fuck around beat the shit out of the the Timberwolves you did a guy put you in surrender you can't even let regard him at this point you think I'm beat or take Rudy out at some point who you think they hate the most Minnesota I have to I think Jimmy the most hated person in Minnesota yeah nobody else did nothing him and Sebastian Telford that's a crazy one Why Bassey? They don't fuck with Bassey

Bassey act like He be a young boy While he was there bro They don't wanna fuck with that bro He played in Minnesota? Yes bro And you know what's funny He played with K-Love

They showed a picture of LeBron posting him up At ABCD camp They were just like Imagine you being A 17 years old kid Just gotta go out LeBron James at camp

And I was like Hey y'all can disrespect him now Cause I guess Whatever how you feel But don't ever disrespect, bro. Bassey through the fire. No, no, Bassey cold. You need to watch that if you haven't seen it.

No, Bassey was cold for sure. Ah, yeah. I'm just saying. Hospital Phenom, bro. That's the best documentary. That was one of the best documentaries I ever seen in my life. That wasn't just some kid, bro. That's literally.

Some guy that's still cold. I don't know who owns the footage or whatever, but Bassey need to bring that out on Netflix. That shit. Oh, yeah. That needs to be on strip services. Bro, that shit was elite. That shit would be most watched. I used to watch that shit every day.

I'm like what the fuck Legendary basketball documentary, tap in. Man, I think, yeah, Jimmy might be the most hated Minnesota. I would love to see who else they feel about that. I'm probably going to go with a strong third. Why they hate you so much? Just because you went for, what's her name? No, because of this damn podcast.

That's why they, Jeff left cool. I was going to say, he didn't even do nothing. He got his ass on YouTube. As soon as I tell the Duke Butler story, my fucking dude hated me. Like, why don't you do shit out there? Like, why hit the shot to go to the playoffs? I ain't go for 15 years.

Talk your shit. Talk your shit. I was like, okay. Y'all niggas sucked like a motherfucker before I got there. Okay. That is. I'm just saying. That ain't got any airwaves.

But, damn, I'm like, y'all was ass. That's why I went there. Okay. That is funny. But now, though, Minnesota lit now, though. And it's a fire city when it's actually lit, though. The playoffs, they go kind of crazy, though. All right.

Before game one, do y'all want to shoot y'all some grace? Y'all want to go serious prediction now? Y'all want to see how game one goes? I just got through winning game one. Okay, you say it. I think it's going to go seven, but I'm with them. I'm with Minnesota this one. Okay, for sure.

My second favorite player in the league, Jay McDaniels got to have a big game, though. He got to play well against Jimmy. I know they're going to put him on Steph. I know that, but he's going to have to outplay Jimmy a couple of these games. Who's guarding Julius Randle? For the Warriors? Mm-hmm.

That's the question. The Warriors play that small ball shit. So I'm assuming Jimmy probably going to be on Julius Randle. Mm. Ooh. Moody, Buddy Hill, whoever they start, going to be guarding A. Oh, Lord. I don't like that.

Oh, Lord. He is good for us. Justin, make another one. Cue. Oh, Lord. I don't like that. Oh, Lord. He is good for us. Justin, man. Another one. Cue your song, nigga. If Moody is out there. 40. Green light.

Pistola and a party on scene, right? Oh, God. I'm sure to God. It's gonna have to be Jimmy Butler. Jonathan Kamiga, come earn your money. Boy, you better go out there and cry some tears. Future defense. That's what we need to start speaking more on the show.

That's future. We got to start speaking more on matchups because who's guarding who. Buddy Hill, like, hey, Buddy Hill been playing defense, though. Yeah. Yeah, that's what Kaminga look like right now. Y'all see future new cuts. That's what I'm saying. He's like, why the Sykes?

Yeah. I was crying. Why the Sykes is crazy. He did though, cuz. Shout out to the back alley, man. There's a lot of wild pictures there. But this should be a good series, man. My nigga had a piano on his back.

Because we really beat these niggas. You just missed these free throws. Beat them? You guys beat that shit. Y'all did not beat us, bro. Then you got this big country-ass nigga hit this trade ball. And why you shooting so early? Nothing, bro.

What a shot. Losing to Aaron Gordon is crazy, bro, from a three. Hey, Aaron Gordon, one of the best role players of all time at this point. Ah, see? He is. And I don't fuck with him. He making moments, bro. He's the best in his team.

Great pass, Russ. Aaron Gordon is one of the best players of all time. He's the best role player. Oh, stop. He got a championship being a role player. He got his team to the second round. He's a really good role player, bro. He is, bro.

Yeah, we really won the game.et just missed free throws, bro. Yeah, we really won the game. He just missed free throws, bro. If he made the free throws, nobody would be saying shit. Okay. Do y'all foul in that situation where they don't have a timeout at the end like that because you had Joker off the court? I know a lot of people had some thoughts about that. I just wanted to see how y'all feel. I know we skipped over that, but
