This is an iHeart Podcast. The Volume. Oh, man. Good morning. Happy Tuesday. It's 5.20 in the morning. Your favorite sports show here to keep you up to date. Everything in the sports world related, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. Joined this morning by my two brothers to my left. My brother Bishop Hendricks to my right, my brother Teague.

Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What's happening, brother? What up, though? Man, how you feeling this morning, man? Like a champ. I don't know why y'all even question that kind of stuff, man. When I tell y'all who to bet for or what to do, man, y'all should just listen.

I don't really miss. Bro, I ain't missed in a minute, though. Pop your shit then. That was a good game. Like y'all said, Houston was going to win last night. I took then. That was a good game. Y'all said Houston was going to win last night. I took Detroit. That was a good game yesterday. It got spooky.

That second half? Yeah, it got spooky. They was making a comeback, but the Ohio State's too good. The freshman, the receiver, he's silly. Jeremiah! Listen, man, Ohio State, they got the dugout get to Notre Dame. We thought the first half was going to be a whole built-to-ass situation.

It was looking real spooky at halftime. Credit to Notre Dame. They fought back. You know what I'm saying? They tried to figure it out for sure in the second half. They fucked up letting them score out the gate, though, in the second half. That kind of fucked it up a little bit. I mean.

It is what it is. Shout out to O-State. That was a hell of a win for sure. I mean, shit. It was late, though. I thought we was going to really get on them. I thought it was going

to be a dub. Shout out to Notre Dame. They made it a game, made it entertaining for the fans. I knew we wasn't going to lose, but most definitely. It's all good.

Harrison, man, God shows some respect. Jeremiah Smith, is he the best wide receiver in Ohio State history already? No. Marvin Harrison is too elite. He got to run another year.

Do it again. He might be in the talks, bro. Yeah, he, uh. That's the same thing y'all tried to do with Jay Daniels already. Nah, he's the best freshman receiver they ever had. Okay. I'll take that. Not the best receiver. He got to do Okay. I'll take that. Not the best receiver.

He got to do it. Well, he got two more years. I think that rule sucks for him, too. Because I think he ready to go to the NFL. Yeah, he's ready now. Yeah, but he got to stay two more years. Just go to Jamar Chase route. Play one more year, then sit it out.

Just get ready for the league. You already got the chip for this university. Nah. That's hard to chip for this university. Nah. That's hard to go to Jamar Chase route. I mean, he's... Stay the course. Do your thing. Plus you get NIL money, so. Yeah, do your thing. Fair enough. Why would I sit out there? Don't fuck the bag up. Yeah. Do your thing.

His price just went up. He was probably at 1.5. He's probably worth three now. He can get whatever he want at this point. Yeah. For sure. Listen, we talked about it. They spent about 20 million in NIL.

Is that worth it? It was worth it, bro. Is that worth it? It paid off. Mm-hmm. They got that shit. Them boosters, they got it. They ain't fucked up about that at all.

The champ is here. Now, does this set the precedent going forward? Everybody going to start upping them purses now? Everybody can't afford it. Yeah. I mean, they can. A lot of teams can't afford it, but I don't think they will because it's a lot of pressure. You see, they was trying to get my boy out of there after we lost to Michigan.

Yeah, they was trying to get right there about to pay him. We got death threats, all type of stuff. We spent all this money. We losing to Michigan. You know, he stayed the course, kept it solid. And we got a chip now. I don't know what they gonna say

if I'm him I'm like yeah let me move the fuck on I did I did I'm gonna go somewhere else a little more friendly Kawhi Leonard

yeah that's crazy like you said the way they treated him you know what I'm saying like he didn't have a good season he didn't come up short

in some of the games they care about i.e. the Michigan games but I got y'all what y'all want I'm gonna go somewhere where there's less pressure. We got to grab, bro. Let me go ahead.

Somebody else will pay me a pay. Give me a nice payday. Yeah, for sure. To try to up their price. But I ain't got that same pressure. I'm cool with that. Man, we talked about it in the offseason. We talked about the Alabama situation replacing Nick Saban.

Do you think that Ohio State's probably one of the biggest pressures to win at? Or is there other school that's ahead of that? It's huge pressure to that Ohio State's probably one of the biggest pressures to win at, or is there other school that's ahead of that? It's huge pressure to win at Ohio State, Alabama. I think Alabama more than Ohio State. I mean, yeah, it's neck and neck, though. I think it's pressure to win at Notre Dame,

but I think Notre Dame, they so used to losing, they probably happy with just making it to the chip. We would've won. We had a great year. They're like that. We had a great year, though. They did have a good-ass year.

They did. I mean, bro, at one point, they lost to what? Northern Illinois, Southern Illinois? Like,

they thought shit was wicked. So, for them to have been only lost until last night, respect to them, for sure. Especially with the new college playoff.

Like, they had to play multiple games to get here. Well, like, previous times, we maybe had to play one or two, but they had to play a couple games to get there. So, like, previous times, we maybe had to play one or two.

But they had to play a couple games to get there. So, I got to show some respect for sure. But look who we ran through. Ohio State. Think about it. We beat a Texas team. That was a really good team. A really good team. Oregon team.

That was a really good team. And a Tennessee team. That was supposed to be deal. So, I mean, we had the hardest road. Had the hardest road to the chip. We made it look easy. I was going to say, is this one of the hardest national championships to acquire? Of course.

Because you had to play more games. Yeah, we had to play more games. And look at the teams we ran through. Yeah, this reminds me when Dirk won his chip. When he went through Murderer's Row in the West. Ah, yeah.

Them, they're on the same line. Yeah. Dang, that's kind of crazy if you think about it. Like you said, that Texas team, very, very promising. Oregon, man, that sucks to be Oregon. They had a hell of a season.

Number one. They was the number one overall team. We had to go through promising. Oregon, man, that sucks to be Oregon. They had a hell of a season. Number one. They was the number one overall team. We had to go through them. By all rules, they would have just played the national championship off the strength. Yeah. We beat their ass. Damn. That's crazy, man.

But they got the purse, too. They talking about opening it up. And we talking about, like, BYU, maybe unsuspected school to some. But I think next year, it shows. You can go pay for a championship. Yeah. I don't think B-Wild you're going to get that

monogamy next year. Oh, no. I'm saying like teams like working and stuff but Phil Knight's like hey, purse is open. Oh, he said get up to Annie. Yeah.

Up to Annie at Oregon. Man, that football kind of hard though, bro. Everybody got to drill. I mean, basketball too but don't go spend a crazy bag, bro. Y'all be garbage.

There's still ego at the end of the day. I don't know. You spend a lot of money and y'all lose. Like, they was going to kill you if they lost. Notre Dame would have came back and won that game last night. Oh, Ryan Day, bro. Witness protection, bro. Yeah, his house would have been on fire, bro.

I started getting nervous for him. Like, when they started making that comeback, I'm like, somebody make a play. It ain't for me. It's protection, bro. Yeah, his house would have been on fire, bro. I started getting nervous for him. Like, when they started making that comeback, I'm like, somebody make a play. It ain't for me. It's for him. Somebody make a play. Nah, when they scored that test, I was like, oh, damn.

Man, when we got to that third down, he made that play. When Smith got that ball, man, I was praying for him. I said, please don't drop. I seen too many drops. Man, Jeremiah Smith one-on-one, that's tough. That was a choice for sure. That was, please don't drop. I seen too many drops. Man, Jeremiah Smith one-on-one, that's tough. That was a choice for sure.

That was, hey, you. Yeah. I thought he was going to overthrow him though because Howard, he okay as a quarterback. I don't think we'll see him playing on Sundays.

Nah, I mean. He'll probably be a backup for somebody or something. But that's the best job in the world, backup quarterback. Yeah, but he can't be not really that accurate. Nah, bro. I mean, he was the best job in the world, backup quarterback. Yeah, but he can't be not really that accurate.

Nah, bro. I mean, he was good enough to win the chip, but he had one of the best wide receiver prospects of all time. Yeah, like he ain't really that accurate. And two great running backs.

Shout out to that boy who transferred there from the SEC and went and got the chip. Yeah, from Ole Miss? Yes, sir. Yeah, I'm like, he cool. He ain't like that.

Would you rather be a backup quarterback or a backup kicker? Oh, backup quarterback. Backup quarterback. Same money? Backup quarterback because I know I ain't getting in. I'll be the backup kicker, bro.

You might get in. I'll be Highlander Jack. Yeah. You one roughing the kicker away from having to play, bro. Backup quarterback, if you come into your trans, they're like, well, damn, that's why I didn't get a backup. Your job is only to kick. So if your leg ain't working,

you don't have a job at all. But I am the backup kicker, though. Alright, backup quarterback or the placeholder? That'd be the backup quarterback. Same price? Yeah, like I said, it'd be the backup quarterback. If it's the same price, I'm still backup quarterback, bro. Y'all tweaking, bro. I'm holding that motherfucking football like this. No, I ain't, because you

fucked up that snap on a kick. Look at Tony Romo. The finger's solid, bro. That's my walk. Well, this is never the backup. Moving on. That can't be playing that. That can't be playing that.

On the back of the bus. Moving along. So we talking about high school, eighth grade. Which quarterback? That was the go-to play. Come on, man. Stop playing. Before we got to the side, did y'all see the girl who crashed the car?

Slap. Oh, God. You had to check it out. Wow, man. Did y'all see the lady who crashed the car? Ryan Hayden. Who did what? She crashed her car.

She was trying to pull out to the ceremony, bro. She ran straight to the wall. It was crazy. I got to look it up. Hey, it was shitty. I'm like, hey. I got to look it up. Why did it though?

Y'all, wow, man. Some great buckets took place yesterday on MLK Day for sure, man. Jay LaBrusso went crazy yesterday. He had 34. As Nick took care of your Hawks yesterday, man. As I said, he had 34-6. Mikael Bridges went crazy with 26-4. But Trae Young was killing it as well, as he normally does. He had 27-6.

All right, man. The Knicks, man. They going through some things right now, but they still looking like they can do it, man. Especially when you get counter-abuses from them like that. Cat only had 13 yesterday. O'Jannon only had 8, and Josh Hart only had 14. I think y'all more or less smoked that game yesterday

more or less than they wanted to be realistic as well. I guess you could say that, but I ain't going to discredit what Jalen Brunson did. He played well. Yeah. I mean, we just didn't have

nobody really play well. I mean, Jalen Johnson, I've been giving him so much love. It wasn't a really good game for him. I mean, he rebounded the ball well, but we need a more scoring punch from him. I mean, he rebounded the ball well, but we need a more scoring punch from him. And when he doesn't

play well, it's going to be a tough out for us. Like you said the other day on the pod, like Jalen Johnson has to average 20 or whatever for us to win

and he has to play well. Most definitely. DeHunt hooped out yesterday as well. Yeah, I mean, I expect that from him. Yeah, for sure. But I would say,

realistically, that third quarter when Brunson and Bridges went crazy, I think they had a majority of their points in that stretch. I'll say, would a game, for sure. But I would say, realistically, that third quarter when Brunson and Bridges went crazy, I think they had a majority of their points in that stretch. I'll say, would a game change,

but hey, man, Trae Young played against the Knicks, bro. He hoop out. He put on a show for sure. Yeah, that's why I love to see us play them in the playoffs. Yeah, that would be fire.

I know what Trae going to do. And I believe in Trae Young. I mean, he got him up last night. Got quite a few attempts. Eight for 22, which isn't the best, but he had to be aggressive because nobody else really had it going besides Deion.

Yeah, I ain't mad at that at all, man. That's what he's supposed to do on that team. That's an impressive win for Cat to only be five for 18 and they still win. Yeah, five for 18 is crazy. Tim's got to start playing, man. The bench though, bro. Shit like that, bro. Just let them niggas sit down, bro.

I ain't hooping, bro. Sit me down, bro. Yeah, Kevin Payne played 12 minutes. Landry Shemin played nine. Nah, bro, sit me down. Precious played 16. McBride played 20. 27 ain't bad for Miles Bridges.

That's decent. Bro, nigga, that was a great day for him. Yeah, that's a day. I like that. And he was hooping, too. Yeah. 38, that's cool for Brunson. 36 for Kaz, cool.

Well, OG didn't get no days off. Yeah, 37 for Josh Hart. That's a light day for Josh Hart. He used to play 46. OG got a different lineage. OG playing 40. That's kind of, that's tough. Damn, Tibbs.

Wasn't him okay that day too, bro. Nah. Yeah. Not NBA, bro. Nah, they don't care. They's like, yeah, we going to put on the show today. For sure, man. That was a really-Day too, bro. Nah. Yeah. Not NBA, bro. Nah, they don't care. They's like, yeah, we're going to put on a show today. For sure, man.

That was a really good game yesterday, though. There's plenty of them for sure. I mean, y'all have one out of the last four or three. You think y'all are going for it for the rest of the season? I think y'all going to be, I think y'all going to surprise

a lot of people, man. Yeah, we're a sleeper team. I think we can surprise a lot of people. I don't think you want players in the playoffs because we don't have nothing to lose. We playing with house money.

Nobody really expect anything from us. We got one star. Really. We know we got capable players, but everybody know the Hawks with Trae Young right now. Jalen Johnson, his first year really breaking out. I mean, he had a solid year last year, but now he's starting to get all-star.

You know, people start talking about him in that category. So we really ain't had a breakout, breakout star besides Trey. So I think we like a surprise team. Kind of like the Pacers last year. You know, people didn't want to play

them once they got rolling. I think that's the same thing for the Hawks. I mean, obviously it's a long way to go, but if the season ended today,

y'all would have the Knicks and we would have the Bucs. That would be a crazy first round matchup. Yeah, them is, them is, yeah.

Damn, y'all be out the first round. Who? Who we put out last year? I don't think y'all gonna put them out this year. All right, we back. Don, y'all be out the first round. Who? Who we put out last year? I don't think y'all gonna put them out this year. All right, we back. Don't even worry about it. Nah, they back.

They better go get the trade. They better go get Zach Levine. If they stay as is. They hooping as is. They killing it. So are we. Oh. Nah, I don't know, bro.

I don't think y'all wanna see them. Nah, I'm still scared. Damien Lillard. I ain't gonna hold it. We beat them in last year. We tried to beat them without Giannis last year, right? And Damien. I remember. Yeah, I was about to say.ian Lewis. I ain't gonna hold it. We beat them in last year. We tried to beat them without Giannis last year, right? And Damian. Yeah, I was about to say.

Yeah, leave the Bucs alone. I'm gonna shout out to Milwaukee. Show some love. The NFL playoffs kick off this weekend, and the action is always heating up on the field at the DraftKings Sportsbook. But the big bet this time around, touchdowns and touchdowns matter more

John wasn't on the report. He wasn't on the ticket slip yesterday. You didn't get the official report at 1.30? Yeah, he wasn't on my ticket slip when I woke up. So I really thought he wasn't playing. Well, he damn sure was in the game yesterday. But that was a good game, though. For sure.

They came back in the fourth quarter, beat them 108 to 106. Man, Jaron Jackson Jr., man, we put some smaller in his game yesterday. But that was a good game, though. For sure. They came back in the fourth quarter, beat them 108 to 106. Yeah. Man, Jaren Jackson Jr., man, we put some small in his name earlier. He been hooping this year. He had 15 in the fourth yesterday, 24 and 11. Desmond Bain had 22.

Ja had 19 and 7. A was hooping yesterday with 32. And Nasri had 29 and 8. Let's not forget about my boy Rob. Hey, shout out to Rob Dillingham getting minutes, man. Man, he came in. He put on a shot.

I think he had 15. My boy played well, man. I told him his opportunity was going to come, and he been hooping, man. I love Triple J. I just wanted a rebound. That's all. So 11 rebounds. Hell yeah.

They need you to do that, bro. That's a great night for Triple J. Yeah. On a rebound. He don't ever get bored. Nah, he don't. But shout out to him. Yeah, he been attacking the glass recently.

I'm glad you brought that up, man. Last couple games, he been getting some tic-mex. Been looking good. You see A.E. show him love in the interview as well. That shout out to him. Yeah, he been attacking the glass recently. I'm glad you brought that up, man. Last couple games, he been getting some tigmas. Been looking good. You see A.E. show him love in the interview as well. That's good to see, man. He need that support. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

For his confidence. Yeah, but just to be one of those guys who never, we talked about it before, when you never not been the guy, it's so tough to come into a league and sit the bench. Like your whole life, you've been the best player on the floor or you've been one of the guys. You started.

Everything was revolved around you, even when he was at Kentucky, came off the bench. But when he came in, get a ball to rob. And now you don't even get in in games. I know that could be tough on you. I mean, I experienced that. I know a couple other people have too. So for him to get a chance and he making the most of it,

I mean, getting 15 off the bench, giving them productive minutes other people have too. So for him to get a chance and he making the most of it and then getting 15 off the bench, giving them productive minutes and limited time too. Very limited. Yeah. So for him to do what he's doing,

he going to be all right. Yeah. And we'll see more minutes from him because obviously Devin Chintzell's out unfortunately with an injury. So like you said, NBA be like,

dang, you don't want to see nobody get hurt. But it's all like, all right, well, shoot. My time's up now. Yeah, Tom. Listen, next man up mentality always, but you always

got to seize new moments. You never know when they're going to come back. So for him to play well when he's getting his chance, that's what's up. For sure, man. Grizzlies, they stand fast this year, man. They always find a way to win these games. You think they may lose. Like I said, with a late surge in the fourth quarter to get that win, you think that's

something they can carry into the playoffs? Maybe. Shout out to my boy Desmond Bain. He's consistent. But they need everybody to, you know what I mean, make a run. Okay. They another team that if somebody injured out of their main court, it could get spooky.

So, as long as everybody healthy, like they a good team, they can make some shit shake. They finally making threes this year. Yeah. Man, they was so – that's what I used to hate about the Grizzlies last year.. They finally making threes this year. Yeah. Man, that was so, that's what I used to hate about the Grizzlies last year. They didn't shoot threes. And I mean,

I'm not a guy who wants to watch people check up a bunch of threes, but Jaron Jackson Jr. used to be like, they're a high attempt three guy besides Bane. Obviously, Bane was hurt or whatever.

But, now they got other guys making shots too. So, even Josh shoots a couple threes a game now. And it's like, good even Josh shoots a couple threes a game now it's like good to see

that made their offense a little more dynamic yeah as soon as you say that I look they were talking about yesterday on Inside the NBA they was like

in the last 13 years outside of this year they're always in the bottom half of like three they're like this year I believe they're top 10 oh for real it makes a hell of a difference

just looking at the game I was like boy they don't never used to shoot no threes yeah you look at Luke Kinnar, you look at Desmond Bain, even the young boy, Jack LeWight. Even Zach Edia, take a couple. Yeah, which is, I know Purdue probably like, what the hell?

But it's good to see, though. I mean, I know the game. Everybody talk about how many threes people taking this year and making the game look bad or whatever it is. But just for spacing purposes, they have to shoot threes. With Ja being able to get to the rim like he can, you got to have some threat south from the perimeter. Yeah, you can't keep asking him to go through

and park the red seat or anything. It should be easy, especially as he get noted for sure. For your Timberwolves, man, has the JR experiment, has it failed? For now. You still optimistic about this? I'm cool, bro. They'll be all right. Okay.

Like, if not, if they ain't jailing their locker room, you know what I mean, send them somewhere else. You know what I'm saying? But outside of that, they all right. I think we knew from the beginning. I remember you called them Shaq and Kobe. I don't know why you ever said that. Yeah, man.

But we knew. NBA courtside. I knew that wasn't going to work well. Like, the way they play, he just doesn't space the floor. Cat was a guy that spaced the floor and shot threes. I mean, he's a dynamic perimeter. Cat's obviously a way better player, and Julius Randle's a good player, but Cat is a lot easier.

Yeah, Cat's a better player, and he shoots the ball way better than Julius Randle. So I knew that dynamic with him and Rudy Gobert just wasn't going to mix. Now when you watch Nas Reed and Rudy Gobert at the same time, you can tell it's kind of like a cat and gobert dynamic because Nas can shoot the ball, he kind of play on the perimeter a little better, he move the ball

quicker. Julius Randle is what you call a ball stopper. When he get it, the ball stops. He holding him up, he trying to iso you, he trying to do a couple moves. He can't score. He's jumping in and throwing it back out. That's that shit. His bailout on Hall of Fame because he do

that all the time. All right, you're going crazy. He don't do that? No, you just had a crazy little spill on JR. I was going with you, but you kind of went off. His bailout is on Hall of Fame. He's breaking down the game. When you watch him play, bro, he go to the basket all the time. And he would start double clutching in the air,

and he would just fire it back out if he don't got nothing. But it'd be working, too. Yeah, it'd be working. Or he'd, like, throw it at the backboard and try to Moses Maloney and get it back. But, like, that just don't fit with the Timberwolves be doing. And yesterday, two for 13, yeah, that is not the bobs at all. Yeah, that's not acceptable.

That's not acceptable. For sure, two for 13, yeah, that is not the vibes at all. Yeah, that's not acceptable. That's not acceptable. For sure, man. We'll see further. Listen, on MLK Day, they got out there and wasted their time. The Warriors could have

stayed at home yesterday for the way that they got their ass whooped yesterday by the Celtics. Couldn't believe I had that game on. What was the score of that game? They got 40 ball, bro.

Bro, it got so bad, like, I don't even think nobody played in the fourth quarter. This is how you know he was getting that ass beat. At one point in the fourth quarter, they had three centers on the court. The Warriors did.

I mean, the Boston Celtics did. They had the big African kid or French kid. I don't even know what he is. Respect. Big head man. They had Tillman and they had Luke. What's his name? Kata.

Yeah, they had him. They had him. They had Luke Cornett. And they had Xavier Tillman. Damn. And then they had Jordan Walsh at the two. No, they had Springer. What's his name?

Yeah, Springer at the point. And then they put in 55, and he started hooping. Yeah. And they took Luke Cornett and put 55 in. And I said, this shit is getting wicked. They was out there just trying shit on the wall. I said, they took Luke Cornett for 55 and I said this shit is getting wicked. They was out to destroy shit on the way.

I said they got three centers in the game. Yeah. Shout out to Tatum too for ignoring Steve Curry and them two

out of the game. Nah, he dapped him up. There's no words, bro, for you. He dapped him up. Nah, there's nothing to say, bro. He dapped him up.

He dapped him up. Shout out to Jalen Brown too, bro. You a hot, bro. They talking to Steph Curry. You know, you know when a nigga

trying to talk to somebody he sitting there like alright I'ma just leave y'all ain't fucking with me that's what Steve Curry did he was trying to holler at him they like man

watch out my nigga move forward yeah man I ain't fucking with you so shout out to them man go ahead and give you a political I seen him I seen him dabbing him up though probably

alright yeah he got him what you say when you see what's today in the club what you do give you a political. I seen him dap him up, though. Probably, yeah. All right. Yeah, he got him on my left. What you say when you see what's-his-name in the club?

What you do? All right. Just give him my hand. No, that's an ass-whooping, though. Where was Draymond at? I ain't watched the game. On the bench. Chilling.

Had his buffs on. Had his buffs on. He full of shit. He wasn't a part of this loss. Dude, they got 40 ball yesterday. Fire everybody, man. Nah, it's just a part of it, though. I mean, you're going to have games like that,

but for national TV games, you don't want to see that. But I just think the Warriors, I don't know. I heard Kenny Smith say something yesterday that was kind of interesting. He was kind of like like they should blow it up and go young because Steph is a guy

that can play with young guys because what Steph does well is shooting the ball and that translates right to young guys you can get a whole bunch of young guys

who want to play hard and you can be a veteran kind of like Reggie Miller remember when Reggie got older they started getting Jermaine and all these young killers. And Reggie

still was blending in because he could shoot. That's kind of how Steph Curry going to have to start progressing. You know what I mean? They're going to get a bunch of young killers. They can. And Steph can still be that guy that can lead them. But it's going to be a knockdown three-point shooter. So this needs to be the last year of the Warriors.

Yeah. I mean, they just need to go young and Steph ask Steph if he want to be a part of it but they can still get young pieces that could be good like they can get Laurie Marketing who's a good player

they for sure can they can still get some quality people on that team and it's still Steph yeah it's still Steph but like going to get

Jimmy Butler or somebody that just don't make sense no more I just had to think because I was thinking about like what are they going to do with Draymond and them though

because there ain't really nobody else really to get rid of for real I mean you could trade Draymond, Gary Payton Wig you got to get off them big contracts

who you who you want back for them you just get some young young talented dudes you don't picks y'all niggas is. Go get Lori Marker.

Y'all niggas is harsh. Go get Lori Marker then. Nah, bro. Don't fuck with Lori Marker. But I don't want to trade all three of them for no damn picks. Well, I'm saying picks because if you want to go get a Lori Marker, you're going to need that. Unless they're trying to do some salary cuts type shit, you're going to need multiple first-round picks to go.

Some young people that you got to have. this is where you got your franchise, your organization, got to have some people that can spot young talent. That's what Miami do great. Spurs do a pretty good job at it.

You got to have some guys who can go spot talent that they think is going to develop into stars. And you got to take a chance. I mean, the Warriors, they don't really,

they haven't really spotted great talent. I mean, the Warriors, they don't really, they haven't really spotted great talent. I mean, they drafted Jordan Poole, like, and they drafted Clay, and they got lucky with Clay and Steph and Draymond, right? Yeah. Trace ain't a bad addition. Trace is a good addition. I give you that.

But a lot of their other guys didn't develop really. I see what you're saying. You know, Iceman, Woody, Wiseman. Some of these other guys that they picked supposed to be like take over the franchise I don't think they developed like they thought they would

nah you right so they gotta go spot some people they don't even feel that way about Jonathan so they question about paying him so

yeah if Bob Myers ain't walking through that door they better figure it out they got lucky with trades like getting KD oh for sure and signing some of those

veteran guys. Even before they really got going, like having a Jared Jack and then like Sean Livingston and like getting Iguodala and all these guys. All these counts. Yeah.

They got lucky in those situations. They really was so raw for the Warriors. And then gave them a gift when they got rid of them, unfortunately. Like, that's what I'm saying. Stuff like that. They've been fortunate to be in them situations for sure,

but some guy changed, man. Steph don't deserve to do this no more. Like he said, he's been hitting towards the end. He don't deserve another season for that for sure. They got to figure that out. Another belt to add situation yesterday. The Cavs took care of the Suns yesterday. Won 18 to 92.

Man, the game was close, but then it got wicked. Donovan Mitchell went crazy yesterday. He had 33 and 5. D.D. was hooping yesterday. He had 16. KD was still doing his thing. He had 23 and 7. And D.Buck only had crazy yesterday. He had 33 and 5. D was hooping yesterday. He had 16. KD was still doing his thing. He had 23 and 7. And D Buck only had 15 yesterday. Brad Bill was in single digits to score yesterday.

I want to say, the Suns, y'all think they gave up? Is it over with? It's just vibes. It's just vibes, bro. Yeah. Double T was in the game? Oh, I didn't see him do that yesterday. Yeah, we got you. Oh, that was raw. Double T in the game? Oh, I didn't see him do that yesterday. Yeah, we got you. Oh, that was raw.

Double T in the game? Yeah, bro. TT-13. Shout out to him. He really a Cavs legend. They might have to retire this shit. Bro, he was in the Cavs longer than Bron, damn it. Put it outside the arena, though.

Off the court. At the front door? Yeah, off the court. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? He be damn with the Cavs longer than he probably is. You're not retiring TT13's jersey. How long he been with the Cavs? Probably like 12 years? It don't matter, bro. He can be there

as long as Kevin Lewis is with the Cavs. I don't give a fuck. We gotta draw the line. It's so hard to get a nigga's jersey retired. We got to wait a year to see D. Rose go to the Raptors. We ain't going to be talking about TC-13 jerseys getting put up today. Off the strip, they got to put him up

the off the strip, bro. Bro, he's the longest tenured Cav ever. Hell, ain't no way, bro. I don't believe that. I don't think he was longer than, uh, what was the, Ilgauskas. I don't think he was longer than Il longer than what was the Ilgauskas I don't think he was longer there

Ilgauskas bro Zeldronis was there he got an all-star game too oh T.C. whatever but he got the real all-star game yeah he did

he was talking about baby mamas nah nope nope I'm trying to think what he rank elite

elite elite elite hmm but I ain't speaking of I'm just saying he made great selections in life shout out to CT13

36 and 6 best record NBA man we still holding on they can do something in the playoffs oh them y'all niggas

oh the Cavs yeah they got they right there in the hunt for a championship I mean damn they rolling like right there in the hunt for a championship i mean they rolling like 36 and 6 bro that's a i'm a believer you that mean you got a good championship is crazy i mean shit look you they in the east the only team they gotta be the celtics

you're right about that i mean and the celtics is obviously a dynamic they wouldn't meet them to the eastern conference finals with everything going how it is right here. Yeah, you're right. And I think... I don't know, bro. If they got to deal with the Bucs, that ain't easy either. I ain't saying it is easy, but I'm just saying I think that's a confident group over there.

I think they believe. Like, when people walk into Cleveland, I think people feel like they're going to lose. Like, they 21-2 at the crib. That is crazy, bro. You know what I mean? You got Hall of Famers walking in there getting dubbed every night.

They just beat the Suns by 20. You ain't lying, bro. I think they're just a confident group. I think they believe. That's all it really take, though. They remind me of that Warriors team that same year when Stephon was the first one. We was kind of like,

we all was like, damn, they balling, but it's like, they probably going to lose to Bron. You know what I mean? We're going to lose to somebody. I called it. Yeah, and then they did it. But I'm not saying they got the same level of power or whatever. Like Celtics still the team to beat in the East because they the reigning champs.

And we know they could turn it on. Playoffs is just different smoke though, bro. Yeah. But I ain't really think they ducking. I don't see them ducking. I don't think they ducking either. But DJ said the books. Ah, that is a.

That's a hell of a matchup. Yeah. They rolling though. The thing is, I like though, they match up kind of well with the Celtics. I mean, with the Bucs. Like, I ain't saying they could stop Giannis. But Jerry Allen and Evan Mobley, they ain't really ducking Giannis. Nah, they ain't ducking.

Nah. He might have to get in his package, too. And then, the thing that they got that the Bucs is kind of missing, they got two guards that can get after it right now. Chris Middleton is like, depending on how he recovers. Yeah, that's true. Donovan can get hot or Darius can get hot. We know what Dave can do.

But it's like a one-two punch right now with the Bucs until Chris come around. Scary thing about them two is Donovan been having, like, I ain't not gonna say bad games, but just not like him scoring all these games under 20, and they still been

clapping niggas. Yeah, he had, like, a mediocre five, six game stretch by his standards, and they still was pulling out big victories against big teams. As long as they don't

play the Thunder, they cool. That's the only team that play the Thunder. They see Christmas when they see them. It's over with. Sweet!

Shout out to the Cavs. Some more games took place yesterday. The Hornets beat the Mavs yesterday, 110-105. Hornets' first three-game win streak of the season, man. You know what it is. The Mellow Ball had 23-9-7. Miles Bridges had 23-5.

Kyrie was hooping yesterday with 33-4. Dale Gafford went nuts yesterday. He had 31-15-7 blocks. He was fucking hooping yesterday. He looked like a man that's happy. He about to get traded. He's a special piece

for them, though. Not so special because they got him on a trading block. I'm just saying for his own right. If they trade, they might ought to be

out of pocket letting him go. I don't think they should trade him. But if he do get traded, I would love to see him. Where would y'all like to see him? I think he's a... he could change the team.

Hell yeah. Somewhere out east. He go to a contender. That's a hell of a big to have, even if you bring him off the bench, bro. Send him out east. Those top teams don't need him. Go to the Hawks. Fuck it.

Nah. We'll use him. Y'all need him. But we got Big O off the bench. Oh, boy. He's starting now O off the bench. Oh, boy. He's starting now. I mean, you know, Clint, whatever. I always say Clint the starter.

Pistons could use him, too. Shit, yeah. After Big O had 21 and 20, it was pretty much changing the guard at that point. Yeah, you doing it. 2020 is time. Yeah, come on. Come on. Yeah, it's come on man

what we doing didn't he win LaMelo in high school too yup he was on that Chino Hills team but go to the west man

he can help somebody in the west it probably would be shit the Lakers nah don't send him to die he said don't send him to die

I'm trying to think of what teams up there that would need him. The Lakers. Grizzlies is cool at the big position. They don't need him. The Suns definitely could have used him. But they just traded for Nick Richards.

Yeah. Everybody else is quiet out west. The Warriors. Warriors need a big. That ain't bad. Who up? Pause. Could you go up top, please?

I'm trying to see the Rockets could use them that's crazy nah off the bench I'll fuck with that hell nah they could

you right EJ yeah off the bench he'll go crazy for that team yeah but nah hold on Sagun get too many minutes bro yeah

yeah but that's their star big but if they gonna have to go go like a Grizzlies team where they gonna have to deal with big. But if they're going to have to go like a Grizzlies team where they're going to have to deal with a Thunder team, but they're going to have to have another big to deal with.

One of them. I feel you though. Or the Nuggets. Clippers, we could use them. Him and the Nuggets. That would work too because Jokic played that hollow shit.

That might be dangerous. No, I'm saying they need him for the Nuggets. They're going to need a big because it's going to be fast and true. Clippers is definitely using.

Him and James Harden pick a row. For sure. After Zubat come out, yeah, I'm rolling. Shout to the Clippers. Shout to the Hornets, man. Go crazy. Pistons beat the Rockets yesterday, 107-96. Really, really good game yesterday.

K cutting him with crazy as usual. 32-9-7. Jason Green had 19-4. Damn good game yesterday. He took over in the third quarter. K moved by. He had like 19- third or something like that? Yeah. Cade Cunningham was...

You started off the year talking about Cade Cunningham, but I'm going to finish off the year talking about Cade Cunningham because, bro, he's really nice. Like I told you, when I watch him play, he play at his own pace. He do. He make it tough on a defender, bro. Him and

Shea Gilders Alexander they I'm not gonna say they're the same player but they got this same kind of they hoop the same yeah they got this ability

where it look like they not playing hard but you can't stop them and then it make you go to the gym and be like

how the fuck is that move working and then you do it and it don't work I'm like how it's different they got more VC they got way more VC than me How the fuck is that move working? Yeah. And then you do it and it don't work. I'm like, how? Niggas' skills is different. Yeah.

They got more VC. They got way more VC than me. Because, golly. They be walking shit down to it. Man. Like, yesterday, like, in that third quarter, like, and I see it a lot because he did it to the Pacers earlier in the season. I was just like, he just dominates quarters.

He really took over that game yesterday. It wasn't nothing they can do. He started bumping people, stepping back, nitties. And I'm like, only him and Shea do that. And I've seen KD take over quarters and stuff. It just looked different, though. Yeah. Luka do it, too.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, they all in that same Luka realm. You know what I mean? Yeah. Get off me. Yeah, like that bump. Bumping you. Counter to the spin, to the bump again. Like, they physical guards. Bumping you. Counter to the spin.

To the bump again. Like, they physical guards. They make contact with you all the time. And keep you off balance. But they're always on balance. It's crazy. For sure, man. We missed it.

The Christie brothers got to play each other. But the twins, you know what I'm saying? That was fire yesterday. Who? The twins. Yeah. Oh, they twins? Yeah.

Oh, the Thompson twins. I thought you were talking about the Christie's. Oh, no. I said we missed the Christie's. But just shout them out. That was both fire. They didn't play against each other. Oh, you were talking about the Christie's oh no I said we missed the Christie's but just shout them out that was both fire in playing against each other oh I'm like

the Christie's got twins nah the Thompson twins yesterday that was fire like you said two of them all athletic people in the NBA

that's crazy I know that's gotta be a great feeling like seeing Lonzo and Melo match up and like you said the Christie brothers

they was matched up the other day and now you see the Thompson brothers, they was matched up the other day. And now you see the Thompson twins. Obviously, they played each other before, but anytime you get a chance to go against your brother, I know that's pretty cool, man.

Yeah, that's fire, man. I got the experience that one time, couple times, in Chicago and Brooklyn. Oh, yeah, that's dope. Yeah, that's fire, man. Black millionaires

CJ still got it. Is CJ auditioning? Most definitely. Probably, maybe. Where would he go? Where would y'all put CJ? And is he a starter on the team wherever you see him?

I don't think he got a starter. If he's going to a top four or a contender, you don't got to start him because he going to do what he do best off the bench anyway. Just let him come in and cook. He's obviously playing hard.

He needs to be having egos. I don't think he going to get traded, though. You don't think so? You don't think they're going to move on from that? Nobody on that team? That's crazy. We thought that'd be the first team to kind of disassemble, but... They got real pieces, too, but... Shout out to CJ. They trade demands too high. I can see that.
