This is an iHeart Podcast. The Volume. Good morning. Happy Thursday. It's 520 in the morning, your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is DJ Will. Joined this wonderful morning by my two brothers to my left, Bishop Henders to my right, my

brother Teague. Fellas, how y'all doing this morning? What's happening, bro? Okay, Teague turned up? Man. Hey, man, we saw it. Wipe me down. We saw it with the Boosie talk.

Who had the best verse on Wipe Me Down? Webby. Okay. Boosie. Nah, bro. Hell nah. That's crazy. I spelled his name.

Respect to the song, man. Classic for Sean Boosie. We need you on the pod. Hey, man, shout out to Playback. We was up working last night, man, watching this great game by the Thunder in the Celtics yesterday. Thunder got the dug yesterday, 118-112. SGA went crazy yesterday, 34-7.

Chet hooped out 23-15. My bad, yeah. The chat was on TV last night talking about Chet. We'll talk about it some more, though. JT showed up with 33-8. Derek White hooped out with 22-8 um and jb went 5 for 15 yesterday with only 10 points um and he fouled out the game unfortunately yeah we could talk about that after that shit's hilarious but hey that was a crazy game yesterday man um thunder getting that win without j-dub i

know the persiga sat out but that's an impressive win how y'all feel about it no i was it was a good game bro uh and to what jeff was saying i mean he just bro just wasn't explaining it for real I know that Prasiga sat out, but that's an impressive win. How do y'all feel about it? No, it was a good game, bro. And to what Jeff was saying, I mean, he just – bro just wasn't explaining it for real. And our camera and shit was going in and out. Chet just ain't – he got to get stronger. Most definitely. Yeah, he got to get stronger to compete down in the paint. But he was – he's a killer, bro.

He's a killer. Man, watching SGA take over in that third quarter yesterday was crazy. Yeah. He looked like he was the best player on the court. Nah. And I didn't even know they swept him this year. That's crazy. Yeah, the last game they played, they shut him down in the second half.

And yesterday was a very, very close game, obviously. Celtics ain't going to have Jalen Brown shooting five for 15 again. But shout out to the Thunder. Them rotations in the second half really showed up for sure. Man, the Celtics should have way too many threes. They're so capable of getting to the basket. We said it countless times on the pod, I mean, watching the game last night. Drew Holliday's at the rim, wide-open layups, kicking them out for threes.

And I get it. Touch the paint, kick it out, and get threes. But he had layups. And they would turn down layups for threes, and they didn't shoot well. They shot 60-something threes last night. Yeah, and they only hit about 20 of them. 64, probably. Which is insane.

And I'm not even going to say insane. That's what they do. Yeah, 20 for 63. They had so many opportunities to get to the layups. And Jason Tatum had a mismatch every time, 6'10", 230. He can get to the paint whenever he wanted. But, you know, they settled for a bunch of threes. And that could be their Achilles heels right there.

If they're not shooting the ball well, I mean, they can guard. They got all that. But SGA, you know, they put pressure on you. They get to the free throw line. Caston Wallace gets to the line. He gets to the basket. Chet rebounding, trying to get his open, you know, his open putbacks and things like that.

They get to the paint. And that's the only thing the Celtics didn't do last night. They didn't touch the paint, really. Yeah. Most definitely. Like you said, Case Wallace had a hell of a game yesterday. Mary Wiggins has been hooping, but he did not show up at all yesterday. Put up a dud yesterday.

But Case and Wallace hooped out yesterday. I want to talk a little bit more about the Celtics. You talked about this on the stream. Man, Luke Cornett be giving them crazy minutes, but Al Horford was really hooping last night. Yeah, Al, yeah. He kept it close. He played 40.

Yeah, bro, he didn't even play, what, 33 minutes yesterday? What's his plus? His plus minus had to be OD yesterday, bro. Damn, it went to a negative nine? They sold on Al because Al was keeping them afloat. That's crazy. Your plus minus don't say nothing because he was in there with a group that wasn't playing well, but he was playing well.

So your plus minus is basically an overall team thing. If you're playing good and your team's not while you're in there, it's fucked up. I could have 25 and a quarter, and we down seven at the half. But I was killing. But our team just had a bad quarter. But now my plus minus is a minus seven, whatever. I believe in all teamwork.

But in that situation, hey, I was hooping, bro. Don't put that plus minus on me, bro. Y'all just wasn't hitting. I'm pretty sure Luke Cornett plus minus is high, though. Or it's got to be even. He had to break it even or something. He was native one. That's crazy. But, I mean, they minus is high, though. Or it's got to be even. He had to break it even or something. He was native one. That's crazy.

But, I mean, they lost the game, so I get it. But he was hooping. Didn't miss a shot. Come on, bro. Yesterday they needed Peyton Pritchard. He didn't show up. He didn't give them nothing yesterday, man. Dang.

Because his game is, you know, I love Peyton, but his game is based off Him making threes Yeah So if he's not hitting threes Two for nine He don't really do anything else You know what I mean Right

Like he can But just in that offense If he's not making his three Yeah I mean he's a good defender He competes But if he's not making his threes It don't really matter

And then look at Drew Would Drew have nine last night If I'm correct Yeah that's not gonna get it done, that's not gonna get it done. Yeah, it's not gonna get it done. Is that more to say about how good OKC was? Or we gonna say Boston had an off night? I mean, OKC competed, but we watched Drew Holiday

literally walk to the basket and kick the ball up. He probably would have had another eight points if he just either dunked it or went. Because he was scoring that at will. It was light when he was there. He actually shot the ball. That wasn't a three. He probably scored it. Heavy on it if it wasn't a three. For real, because light when he was there. He actually shot the ball. If that wasn't a three, he probably scored it.

Heavy on if it wasn't a three. For real, because I think he was probably one of them for seven. I think it's up there for threes. He was settling. All of them were settling. JB was for sure settling. One for seven from three is crazy. Him going to the hole and kicking it out, I'm like, yeah, he throwing the game, bro. He acting like Terry Rozier.

He had so many opportunities to score a layup and was just kicking it out. I'm like, that ain't even your game damn near. Like, you an aggressive, like, going to the basket type of player. Hey, man, free Terry Rozier, man. I don't know what he got going on, but free the guys, man, for sure. You know, somebody wrote me on Instagram like 30 times, like, I'm the dude that was the middleman between him and Jontae Porter.

I'm like, like bro get out stop writing i think i blocked it the real agent super chat said malcolm is nice and too cake mike was getting fgas up but the lights were too bright for him when you're running with us t uh young ratio is this really uh is this malcolm burner account let's make sure i just want y' make sure. I have 14 points, four assists, two rebounds. You shot like the damn Celtics in three last night. Let's not talk about that. Six for 20.

Six for 21 in the pickup game? You don't even play 2K. Why do you think you ever get 20 shots? But he also told me he went one for 10 to his first 11 attempts. And I said, so you decided to keep shooting. Like, who did y'all play with? Y'all was playing with him? Mike told them. Mike told told them if y'all don't pass me the ball I'm quick yeah play with them yeah with this dude right here yeah great show we need a live report

Mike has never scared them bright lights bro He lives behind these. For sure. Oh, but that's crazy. But shooting 20 shots and you really ass at 2K is crazy. 14 points and we won by 30. That make it even worse.

So y'all playing some bums and you missed that many shots. And y'all some hoes for letting him tell y'all that. Like he good. Yeah,

because that game was so quick. I quit and y'all passed me the ball. I definitely can't pass the ball. I would have been like, he going to be like, hey y'all,. Like, he good. Yeah, because that game was so good. I quit. Y'all pass me the ball. I would have been like, he gonna be an AI as soon as he ever says it. This is gonna be CPU. This nigga ain't never played a serious basketball

game in his life. Shout out for Freak. You might forget that offense, but I fuck with that. You reckon like doing that? Nope. I'm an AAU kid. I'm just gonna say that. Shout out to the kids. SGA becomes a seven-player with 60 straight games of 20 points or more. That is crazy. We looked at this list of people who have accomplished this.

You got KD from 2015 to 16. He has 64 in a row. Kobe, 05, 06, has 62 in a row. MJ has 69 in a row. That's crazy, man. That is crazy. 90 to 91. 69 games to 20+. Jabbar

62-71-72. Will did 80. Oscar Robertson did 76. Yeah, you better put some respect on Oscar name, boy. You talking to me? Oscar who? Robertson. You see what Oscar Robertson was talking about Draymond? I don't give a fuck.

Draymond my nigga, not that nigga. 76 in a row, boy. Yeah, man. Respect, okay. I guess. You shitting me. For sure. Move on, man.

Now, after this game, can we finally say we feel confident that Thunder are real contenders? We keep talking about the Boston Celtics at Swartham this year. I know the regular season don't always matter. No, because Jeff and them play good against the Cavs. And you see what happens to them. So, regular season really don't mean nothing, man. It's really middle fingers in the air to you. But I'm being real respectful.

No, I didn't mean it. I'm just saying, like, a team like that play really well. Not even like that. It's a Cavs team. Great regular season run. But, you know, shit, you got to prove yourself in that playoff, man. It's a different beast, for real. Yeah, because that could just be one, that's one game right there.

They got to wake up two days later and do it again. Facts. It's different. For sure, man. Shout out to OKC for getting a dub yesterday. They play well, though. They and do it again. Facts. It's different. For sure, man. Shout out to OKC for getting a dub yesterday. They played well, though. They're still my guys. Most definitely.

Rockets got the win yesterday, 111-104. It gets the Suns. Hey, load up to Drake. Steven Adams, the young plumber, got in two yesterday. Real plumber. Real Plumlee. Damn, Steven Adams. Steven Adams so strong, he had to be mobilized, bro.

That's father time, though. Yeah, that. What caused that, though? I mean, what is that? What you doing, bro? Let go of me. Yeah, Steven Adams out of pocket, bro.

Steven Adams, I ain't looking for chill out. Yeah, move your arm, man Plumbing from Indiana, bro We ain't fucking gone Move your fucking arm That's crazy Fuck about that

Where you from? I hate that Draymond Be doing that shit Like holding people Under their arm, bro Let me go Brother, I'm from Indiana I ain't going

That's hilarious, man Shout out to the Plumbings, man That's what the Suns Is good for right now, man Shout out to Jack LaGrange Got it done yesterday 29 the Suns is good for right now, man. Shout out to Jalen Green. Got it done yesterday, 29-7. So you're going to have 20-7 as well. Brad Bill hooped out with 25.

KD and Book both had 19. Jalen Green, we've been talking about his development at T. What's the next step for him? What does he need to do to go to the next level to be a pretty much all-star? Obviously, he's got a raise in scoring. I think he's at, what, 21 a game, 20, somewhere around there. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know.

But his overall – Yep, right, 21. Like, he's killing. It's a great year for him. But his presence has got to be felt a little more. Like, you got to know he the guy on the team. And I don't think we, anytime we talk about him,

we don't feel like he the guy. We feel like he one of the guys, right? We don't think of him as the go-to player on the Rockets. We like, man, we can trade Jalen Green. You know,

we kind of go with the Thompson's one a little bit. And I think the next level for him is just knowing he the guy and embracing that. Because, you know,

with a new coach, M.A., you got to get to know the coaches. He's starting to turn into his own person. He's starting to mature a little bit. You see it in his game. I think his next step is just knowing that he's the guy. He got all the qualities. Most definitely. All the dudes around him got to believe it too.

However much work he put in in the offseason, during the year or whatever, the guys around him got to believe it too, though. So however much work he put in in the offseason, during the year or whatever, the guys around him got to believe he that guy. But his talent is there. He got all the tools to be the guy, like you said. But watching K cutting him, take that step, being a guy, it's his time. They've been, I guess, you know, rivals, competitors or whatever. It's a good rivalry, too.

I can't wait to see what that really turn into as they really grow old and leave, for real. Yeah, but K took that step. He had 26 a game, almost 10 assists. Like, you know he the guy. Yeah, it's a landslide. They go as far as Detroit go. Detroit goes as far as K goes, but we can't say that the same about the Rockets so I'd be like any given night one of the guys from the Rockets can be

the best player on the team yeah you also have Shade on too so that was gonna be my counter to that obviously I feel like hey might be a got the edge on him right now but the fact that he does have another all-star and other quality players I'm not saying Detroit don't but you like you could this Rockets team so they probably have a little bit more talent than that Detroit team for sure. He got to pass the ball more. It ain't that. It's just like SGA got a talented player. He got Jay Williams.

You're talking about separating yourself. I'm just saying that's the argument that I see a lot. Jay Dub, Chet, and you just know Shea is the guy. I'm rolling. And Shea was on the team where he was with Chris Paul, Dennis Schroeder, and we never said he was the guy at that time.

We thought CP was the guy. We knew he was nice. He was averaging 20. He was kind of the same mode as Jalen Green. He was getting shit done. He was averaging 20. True. And then he took that next leap.

And that's all he got to do is take that next step. Like, all right, yeah, I got Shea going. He nice. He my center. He giving me 20 points a game, but I'm going to give you 25. Yeah. Jalen Green got to be like, bro, I need that ball in the fourth quarter. Yeah.

Like, I got to be that guy. Okay. I can see that being the next step for sure. But they got to believe it. Once your team believe it, he got the talent, obviously. It jumps off the screen when you watch him play. But he just got to take that next step. Yeah, Jackson Green is cold for sure.

They definitely missed Fred Van Fleet. I'm happy he's back in the lineup. I know Thompson's winning this out, but they are a different team. He's on the court for sure, man. Some of those rookie mistakes they were doing, losing those close games, I don't think they lose those with Fred. But for sure, shout out to them for getting a dub yesterday. I don't know what we say about the Suns.

We don't know what they're going to do. We know know they got trade people because they don't have no assets so we'll figure that out I don't think they should fire but man it's one year I'm yeah that team was just a bad team yeah you can't I told you but do way better with less. He was fighting an uphill battle. You got two, I guess you can say premier two guards. Most definitely. One of them going to be uncomfortable. We said that from the beginning. But now it looks like they're all

uncomfortable. D-Book don't look like the normal D-Book. Yeah. And Bradley Beal just looked confused on the court yesterday And he hooped out He had 25 yesterday Yeah, but I'm just saying It's just like, man

He couldn't even get like in the real rhythm He kept running to the corner I'm like, damn, that ain't even how he hoop Yeah Because they used to be in focal points in the offense Yeah And when you're the third option You might get some easy shots or whatever

But you ain't a focal point That's why I said That team just didn't mix well. Like, if KD was a natural big, maybe if KD was a pick-and-pop four-man, KD a two-guard. Book a two-guard. Brad Bill a two-guard. Like, if he was a pick-and-pop, I don't know.

If he played like Al Horford, then it might have worked. You know what I mean? He set screens, pick-and-pop, and them two dudes played off Al Horford, then it might have worked. You know what I mean? He said screens, pick and pop, and them two dudes played off of KD, screens and stuff like that. But KD a two-guard. He needs screens. Needed out the wing for sure. So it's just not a good fit.

Super chat. James asks, Shea, 2025 versus Harden, breakout season with the Rockets. Who y'all starting to team around? Oof. I'm rolling with Jimmy. I'm rolling with Jimmy. I'm rolling with James. Yeah, I'm going with James Harden. But I love Shea, though. What Shea doing with that young core.

I think people forget, too, James is winning 50-plus games with them teams as well. James Harden was going to be one of the best teams in NBA history. Yeah, I think people fail to realize that as much as they say he was dominating the ball, his teams were still overachieving at that time. For sure. Great question, for sure. Let's get straight to it, man. T. Wolves, six straight wins yesterday, man.

Took care of the Nuggets. Built an ass situation, 115-95. The real JR is back, baby, 25-4. AE had 29. Yo cooped out 34-8 as usual. And, you know, Russ had 19. Six straight dubs, man. How you feel about it?

Ten straight when J.R. plays. That's a good win for the team, bro. Okay. Because I played against a quality team yesterday. So that's a good dub. I don't want to put too much sauce on it, but definitely, definitely see them. Good to see them in the up-and-up for sure. Most definitely.

Superchat, Delane White asked, do y'all think the Nuggets are better with Westbrook in the starting lineup and what you thinking ever happened to his mid-range I don't know rushes have a crazy MIDI I like you missed starting PG but he's to me valuable off the bench to for them. I mean. They went on the runway when Aaron Ward was out. Yeah, I mean, I like Westbrook. I mean, people go through ups and downs on the season, so this might be a bad loss, but I don't know what happened

to the middie. That middie used to be deadly. Automatic. I mean, that come with like he had so much freedom. He had so much freedom. And he had so much free reign to do what he wanted. Like now you got, you're getting 11, 12 shots. When you was used to getting 28 to 30 shots.

That's a big change. Yeah, maybe you might not look as good no more. Like you could miss 10. You still know you had 10 more. That makes sense. You know what I mean? Your confidence was different. When you only getting 12 shots Now when you was getting 30

It's a little different 12 shots is good On that goddamn team Yeah But you know Okay 30 shots a game Yeah

Y'all move out the way This is Gilbert Arenas Washington Wizard Ball Yeah You got MPJ and Jamal Murray And then Yope Yeah We got no touches for you

So Russ is what, the fourth option? No, maybe fifth, because Eric Gordon, he touches. Jesus. Yeah. And he's still performing like this? Shout out to Russ, man. Nah, Russ is a legend, bro. He's not some professional, bro.

Going to one to five, man, you still capable of getting the dub, man. You raw. He a legend, bro. Yeah, bro, one of the best ever. Still impacts the game, bro. Even when he ain't shooting well, he going to play hard and go rebound. He a legend. For sure. Yeah. Superchat, of the best ever. Still impacts the game, bro. Even when he ain't shooting well, he going to play hard and go rebound. Yeah, legend. For sure.

Yeah. Superchat, it's Ricky May. How many big market teams are there in the NBA? Media always says this guy should be in a better market, but I thought there's only four cities. It's not too many big markets. Yeah, it's only New York, California. Well, let me say not California.

New York, L.A, Chicago, and Boston. I'm like the big markets team. That's really it. Only four? LA, the New York. The biggest, yeah, for sure. LA, New York. Chicago, and then Boston.

Boston for sure. Yeah. You're not going to say any Florida teams because they wouldn't even go on LeBron's. Small market. Texas small market teams.

I mean, Golden State. Now? Golden State's a big market now. San Fran, the Tech World. It's a big market. Shout out to Steph.

Damn, is the Mavericks? I don't know the rise that's a small market thing yeah I know about TV up there really a big market but yeah I mean it is as relevant to the NBA I don't know cuz it's not like they ever like pushing them nah but that la Chicago New York. Yeah. The NBA's not happy about a 76ers final. The Wizards being hired in Boston is funny as hell. But they push Boston so much.

Yeah. Ever since ever. You know what I mean? Yeah. Boston always been. That's a solid list, though. For sure. All right, man.

Five and five for the last 10 games. Nuggets, did you figure it out before they go into the playoffs or just they ain't tripping, they're just ready to get started?

I'm going to be real, bro. I'm just ready for the playoffs to start. Okay. Last 17 games, everybody's trying to limp across the line. Yeah, I'm just ready for the games to begin, bro.

Yeah, people lock in differently for the playoffs. Okay. You would love to see a team rolling before they hit the playoffs, like catching their stride. But all you got to do is win your last six or seven games,

and you rolling. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like you hooping, hooping. So if they go on the street, they win four in a row before the playoffs starts, like, oh, okay. Okay. Here come the Nuggets.

But whatever. For sure. Good win for sure there.

even though Boston has the best group on film, is it their dynasty or is it just set up in the air which franchise would dominate this era? Shit. That could definitely go back to back. I mean, it can go back to back, but I think it's up in the air. I don't see no – I mean, I think Boston is the best team,

but it ain't clear-cut. Like, Cavaliers are playing great basketball. Yeah. Thunder playing great basketball. Now you got the Lakers. If Bron come back healthy, they in the mix. Denver in the mix. It ain't no clear-cut.

We think Boston is the favorite because we've seen what they did last year, and they returned everybody, and we've seen what they did last year. And they returned everybody and we think they playing at a high level. It's up in the air. We just watched Boston lose last night. Most definitely. They ain't had J-Dub. So I don't know. Yeah, we just watched a Mavs team go to the finals last year that

nobody's on the team anymore. It could change any year. But Sheldon Seltzer said they've got a chance to make a dynasty. Tony Reyes asked with high school ball wrapping up, how important is it to pop off in the state? Also, does any deal with kids transferring to not play against competition? That is everywhere, Tony. Everybody ducking smoke.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know if they transferring to duck smoke. Yeah, because it ain't. I mean, who you ducking? For real, here, I don't really. I mean, people dunk competition a lot. That's what I'm saying. People don't.

I don't know about here, though. Everywhere people duck smoke. Unless you going. I mean, because we pretty much even all the way around. We got a lot of good teams, and you ain't really. You ain't going from 4A to 1A damn near here. I'm saying kids on the roster

like, well I ain't going to say the school because that'd be important but say somebody, alright I don't want to compete for a starting spot. I'm going to dip to this school. That's what I mean. I'm not saying you got to replace somebody but we know a lot of kids that I ain't going to get the nods. I'm starting here alright I'm going to go see what's up over here. That's what I was meaning by that. I got y'all.

All right. I'm on the same page as y'all now. Well, probably, though. I just, I don't know. The transfer now is open. What do you call it? Open playing field, I guess, to put it in smaller terms. Like, kids can go anywhere now.

So, I don't know. It'll be different for the city now. We ain't had that leisure for a long time. Nah, HSA was not letting people go nowhere. Yeah, so it's different here. We got to see how that really pan out. For sure. Good question.

Knicks beat the Blazers yesterday in OT, 114-113. Go ahead, load up the Drake. Kel Bridges for game yesterday. That is a good question, though. Because even with you, like, kids, when you was at Pike, y'all really was supposed to have a crazy whip. A lot of people disappeared when y'all was in school. Had to.

Like Morgan Newton, just to say a few names, not to throw names on the bus. Shout out to my dog Morgan. Yeah, Hugh and them, they left. Opportunity. The block was too hot. Yeah, Hugh and them, they left. Opportunity. The block was too hot. Yeah, especially at that guard position. You talking about all these people who are all Division I point guards. That's what damn near made me think about y'all school.

I was like, damn, nah, T and them, they had every cold guard, nigga. But I ain't going to lie. This ain't no shade to none of them, especially on my dog Hugh. But once you left and you got your opportunity, you hooped. But when adversity hit, it made, like if you went through that, when adversity hit, you was used to it. Like if you went to school or wherever you went,

you was used to fighting through something like that. Cause I wanted to leave. And if I would've left, I think that would've played a role when I was at Wake Forest. Yeah. When I wasn't playing, it's just there. You were in a battle. Yeah, I probably been like, shit.

But battling Tony James and Reese and all them for playing time all the time, I was used to it. Like, I just got to kill him. I got to do this. I got to show him better than this him. Yeah. That's what made me not have friends, though. Ah, okay. That was a downside of it.

Yeah, that's the downside, I ain't had no friends. Ish was just so nice that he still was my friend. Shout out to Ish, I told you about him. If it was the other way around, I would not have been his friend, you know what I mean? If he was acting how I was acting, I wouldn't. He's just a nice guy. And even in school, me and Reese and all them,

He's like, bro, we competing too much. Yeah. Kids miss that in school, though, now.

It ain't like that no more. But the crazy thing is both of y'all went to the league, and y'all perspective sports. Yeah. But the thing was we still wanted to win. Yep. When we got on the court together, we still wanted to win. But when we was in practice, it was like, I'm better now. But that adversity gave you a little more.

When it's always handed to you bro man when it's not into you in your future when you get when I get when you get older rubber meet the road and I ain't say I ain't say I ain't say Roll sports The real adversity I ain't say Roll sports Roll sports gets you Through that adversity

Yeah with or without The rubber I ain't play the clip Let's play Mike For game Wow Remember how everybody Hated his jumper

Early in the year It don't look It look different now Well that first game That jump shot looked wicked That's how the person Sticky your son got like that As well

Yeah that's It's back to his old jumper Pow Yeah it is I'm tired niggas Jumping on me Hey look at K-Arms though Please replay again

Throw you the ball there It's two seconds left Look how he reach out For a hug Like let it roll That's a nasty ass team Shout out to the Knicks oh man

oh man listen Mikael Bridges was crazy yesterday 33 in the game when the OG hooped out with 23 and 7 caddy to stank with 21 and 7 school had 30 yesterday

you mans unfortunately they took the L yesterday it's funny because Mikael Bridges went in like an interview I guess basically talking about

the playing time with Tibbs and Tibbs responded quote unquote could we play that clip please Tibbs don't give a fuck what they talking about

Tibbs broke it down real simple I'd like to hear what he said well we never had a conversation about it, but the facts are the facts. And when you look at our team and the way it works is Jalen plays 35 minutes. He's in the top 20. I think he's 20th or 21st in minutes played.

Cat is a primary scorer. He plays less than Jalen, so he's like 25th in the league in average minutes. Your wings play more, right? So they're matched up with primary scorers. So the way it works is if Jason Tatum is in the game and Jalen Brown is in the game, OG will be in the game and McHale will be in the game.

When those guys go out, they go out. When they come back, they come back. You try to keep the matchups. When you look at the league, all those guys are playing 36, 37 minutes, whether it's Durant, Tatum, Brown, the wings are going to play more. So they're primary wing defenders. So that's the way it works. And then sometimes you're caught in matchups.

So the Lakers wear big wings, so you've got to deal with that. You look at McHale's minutes have gone down. We started the season with Landry, Hurt, and Deuce with not 100%. So our wings did play more. So are they playing a little bit more than I would like yet? Probably 35, 36 is where you're at. That's where Mikael is. If you look at the last 10 games, he's playing 35 minutes a game,

and four of those games are overtime games. Yeah. Hey, Tiz broke it down very simple for y'all. We're talking about he be killing people. I know that we're going to let them jokes fly anyway, but it all makes sense to me. All right. Shit.

Y'all see? Let him cut your minutes down to 29. He has to be mad as fuck, sense to me. All right. Shit. Y'all see? Let her cut your minutes down to 29. You have to be mad as fuck. Trust me. I was one of them guys. Play 29 minutes and you go somewhere and play 36. You're like, oh, I could have been averaging 20 my whole career. Yeah.

You just got to stay healthy. That's all you got to do. Man, don't nobody want to come out the game. Man, Scott, y'all, they don't want to come out the game Man, scratch off They don't want to come out the game It's cap Nah, it's cap Fam, bro I mean, I was talking to PJ Tucker yesterday

We People do not want to come out the game I used to see him run to the bench and be mad When they subbed him out Like, what we doing? Like, nigga, you played 43 minutes Yeah Shout out to PJ

Knew it was Nick Yeah when you competing too You definitely don't want to come out I didn't used to want to come out the game Like when I was in my prime I did not want to come out the game I used to be shitty Like what?

Sit on the bench for 8 minutes straight? Damn Yeah And you watch Kyle Lowry Playing 38 minutes a game You like Lil BBL Kyle Nah I'm just saying You do not want to come out the game bro Damn. Yeah. And you watch Kyle Lowry playing 38 minutes a game, you like. Lil BBL Kyle. Nah, I'm just saying you do not want to come out the game, bro.

So, that's cool. You ain't never heard Jalen Brunson complain. Yeah, I like how you started. Me and Mikel never had a conversation. What you talking about? You going to play regardless. Shout out to Tiz, man. The Blazers lost the last five games, but what you like about this team, man?

Young Cor, you spoke highly of them. I like how hard they play. Okay. They exciting to watch. They need to get rid of Grant. For Jeremy Grant? Yeah, not even for him. He just don't fit that team.

Like, they have something going with them young boys. They had one dude coming off the bench. Man, I can't remember his name, but he was competing hard. What's my guy? What's his name? That went to, played in Washington. I don't know how to say his name.

Avija, yeah. He be hooping. He be playing well. 27-15. He be playing well. I just like them young guys. Like, let them young guys rock out.

Sit Jeremy Grant down and all them. And just let these young dudes, exciting team, some high flyers. Losing DeAndre Ayton, though. That played a role in why they were on this losing streak. Most definitely. Somebody could use Jeremy Grant.

Hell yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, go ahead and move him. Hey, Simon, too. He can go somewhere. Nah, you got to keep him. Keep him? Okay.

Keep him because Harper on the way. But DeAndre Ayton, losing him is the reason they fell off like that. He was playing well. I'd love to see what draft pick they get and see what Chauncey do with them. Especially if it's a guard, to have your head coach be Chauncey Billings, bro, that's a hell of a head start. If you get a Dylan Harper type player,

that could be a dangerous combo. I was kind of struggling with school. I'm like, you kind of built like Chauncey. You way more athletic. Like, why is it not? I mean, he had 30 points this game, but why is it not? Translating so quick. Yeah, like, and you got the opportunity.

Probably still learning the game, too. I get that, but you took a different road. Like, you've been in the NBA system for longer than everybody else. Like, you went to G League, Unite. What did you do did two years in the G League or I'm not one just one but I'm just saying you took that role true rookie year second year almost finished you ended it right now I'm gonna know what a 30-point game I'm just wondering like what took so long for it to click got a click but I do I'm like, what took so long for it to click? Got to click. But I do – I'm interested to see what they will do if they have opportunity to get a guard in this situation.

I think you got to because on a bad – I ain't going to say a bad team, but on a developing team, you want to see your number two pick have some moments. So he should be around 18 points a game. For sure. Even if he's shooting 18 points a game. For sure. Even if he's shooting 40%. Bare minimum, for sure. Yeah, he's 17, 18 a game. Easy.

Yeah. 18 to 6. On that team, though, we say with Jeremy Grant and Ace Simons, he's supposed to take more shots than them? Yeah, bro. I mean, Ace Simons is going to be the guy. Yeah, he's the number one option. But is he the third option?

But they play so fast. Okay. Like, think about all the kids that we've seen get drafted. Like, LaMelo was with two pick, three pick, whatever he was. We see him his second year. We made the all-star game down there. That's a fact. He did.

Just all these guys. Like, even Lonzo, his second year, we seen like a leap. Like, Lonzo going to be straight. We haven't. We don't like a leap like how long is it gonna be straight we haven't we don't be like it's cool gonna be straight we kind of be like hmm yeah we already talking about getting another guard but if he was at like 16 17 we'd be like nah i agree different conversation pressure and hype didn't help either he had a uh he damn right zion williamson hype coming into the league yeah people were saying should they pick wimby or Scoop

I remember those conversations For real bro That was tweaking But those were real conversations For sure Get well soon though Cause 13-5 For a

Top Heavy first round pick Second round pick Is pretty good But it's just more Expected out of you Nah It was the year before though

Dang 14 13 13-5 It was not a bad year It was 14 last year But What was the year before, though? Dang. 14? 13. 13 and 5? It's not a bad year. He was 14 last year. But it's not a bad year. I mean, yeah.

If you like the 18th through 30th pick, that's solid. He number two pick. That's what I said. It's more expected out of you. Oh, yeah, yeah. And that's what I – yeah, nah, bro. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, nah, you the 20th pick.

Yeah, 13 and 5. That's solid. Oh, this, bro. That's what I'm saying. Nah, you the 20th pick. Third pick. Yeah, 13 and five. That's solid. Oh, this looking bright. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. But the two pick. Nah.

Yeah, he was the third pick in that draft for sure. I mean, third, whatever. Because B-Mill went two. I think he was born in 04. That's crazy, boy. Third pick. You just want to see a little more. Like, Brandon Miller being a two pickpick, we see, like,

man, he He like that. Yeah, he got it written on him. And he on the team with two other 20-plus point and Mike Hill and LaMelo, so You just want to see a little more. Yeah. But, I mean, he got time, though. For sure. Superchat

That's all I know. They better not send Ace Bailey to Utah. That's all I know. They better not dare send my boy Ace to Utah. Hey, Harper, Ace Bailey do not fit what y'all got going on.

Hang on until you're out. If Cooper Flagg is headed to Utah, they will have to trade him for sure. That's a good pickup for somebody, too. Hell, yeah. Good win for the Grizzlies. Nothing to talk about there. The Spurs beat the Mavs yesterday 126-116. Man, De'Aaron Fox went crazy with 32-11.

And now yesterday, Klay had 12. I don't know why he put that up there, but shout out to the Spurs for getting dubbed yesterday. Y'all childish for that. For sure. Super Chat. Who will win? Hawks then went on the big win streak,

but the Hawks with Joe on the big win streak or the Hawks with Joe Josh and Jamal mmm that nigga that played on the team better answer that shit I don't know

depends I don't know hmm I'm gonna go with I was on both teams I don't mind hmm good game

more exciting though on Josh and them side but I don't know about Hmm. Good game. More exciting, though, on Josh and them side, but I don't know about winning. I think we probably beat them because they couldn't go. They was cool on defense. You said we. Like the whole – because I ain't play that much with Josh and Jamal, so I'm going to go with the ones I play more. Okay.

You think it's the coaching difference between those two matchups as well? Yeah. They're going to ISO the whole game. We're going to double team. Yeah, y'all's probably a better team for sure. Yeah.

They have better players though. I ain't going to hold you. Yeah. Definitely. Yeah. All right. Rex Boyer asks,

with Luke in L.A., do you think Bron will stay in the league to play with Bryce now? Bryce going to the league? I don't think that he's worried about that. I think he's just happy

to have Luka. Yeah, for sure. Shout to your reel yesterday. The podcast you did, they said Bryce was better than Brown, and he was not having it. Yeah, that was my young

guys, man. But yeah, man, Bryce, you just got to see what he develop into, man. Hopefully he get to some burn in Arizona, but I don't think Bron care about that. If Bryce is a one and done, I'm going to know something.

If Bryce is a one and done and he's a Laker, LeBron is the GOAT, and there's no more conversations to be had about it. But like I said, LeBron deserves everything. He carried the league for 20-plus years. So whatever LeBron want to do, make it happen, bro. Fuck it, run it up. Nepotism at its finest. For sure.

Don Gossin asks, would you call the Celtics this generation tennis on your spurs? No. Sure. Shit, I don't know. They can start it.

They can start it. Jason Tatum low-key having one of them careers. I don't know. Tim Duncan careers? Yeah. Damn. If he win a couple more,

shit, it's up there. What Tim win? Five? They do got that spurs I don't know Tim Duncan curse Yeah Damn If he win a couple more Shit It's It's up there What Tim win five They do got that Spurs Kind of Feel Yeah bro You know they good

Yeah bro Yeah they be chilling Yeah he won five Just get the job done Tim got five None of them niggas Fuck with Tim Duncan though I ain't. They mild. Yeah, bro. Yeah, they be chilling. They just get the job done. None of them niggas is fucking with Tim Duncan, though. I ain't even saying that. I'm just, to make that clear, I know how y'all stretch shit. I'm just saying

to me, it's the same type of franchise so far. It's like Same kind of vibe. Yeah. For sure. Alright, man. Couple games tonight. See how y'all feel about them. First things first, we got Lakers and Bucs. Ooh, I'm going to take the Lakers. No LeBron?

You think Luke can hold it down? Yeah. I got the Bucs. Okay, Bucs coming off a loss. They got to hold it down for sure. It's a tight spot in the East to get to as well. If they win this game, what the Bucs got to do? Is it the bench?

I know we've been seeing a lot of national coverage talking about that bench. You got to give them a little bit more. Is that the key to success for Milwaukee right now? I don't know nobody on their bench. Damn. I'm just being real. They just need Kuz, man, to get comfortable. It's a lot to ask, especially with BP being gone.

Yeah, they missing BP, KPJ, Kuz. Damn. Oh, never mind. Yeah. Yeah. Once he get back from taking that Rose Spark. Boy. Rose Sparks give you that boost.

I need two of them things. That's all it took to get to the league. 30-60 to be times two. That's 72-hour. The weekend trip. I don't know if you can prescribe that one Rob Sparks They're not doing that Shout out to Rob Sparks

Who said that? Shout out to Ed Nigga said Boy let's get everything hard Shout out to Rob Sparks Shannon Sharp is a fool Michelle thing hard. Shout out to Rose Sparks. Shannon Sharp is a fool, man. Michelle.

The real Rose Sparks. Y'all crazy. Oh, shit. Oh, man. Shout out to Rose Sparks. Great partnership. Shannon got us that deal, man. That's how you sacrifice for the team. Right there, man. Rose Sparks came as soon as that video dropped so shout out to shannon and michelle for that cameo shout out to michelle oh man all right kings and warriors who y'all got warriors uh yeah we're coming is supposed to be back tonight man i'm excited to see how he

integrates with the team because like we we said, if he comes off the bench and can contribute like we know he can, that makes him that much deadlier, man. Especially if he under Jimmy Tulich, man, he might fucking run a really good tour. That might really change some stuff for them because in the playoffs, I wouldn't want to see that. They already got the championship pedigree.

And you got young talent. That's tough for sure. You going Warriors tonight? Yeah, I got Warriors. You got Warriors too? Yeah, yeah. All right, cool. Verified Buckets, be here. Who was getting to it yesterday? Man, I'm going to give it to Trey. That's tough for sure You going Warriors tonight? Yeah I got Warriors Alright cool Verified Buckets Be here

31-11-5. Four blocks as well. That's crazy. Some more games before we get out of here to see how y'all feel about them. Wizards at Pistons. Pistons. Okayons okay magic at Pelicans pills award Pelicans yeah I take the pills Nets at Bulls man don't care I'm gonna take the notes in my own road don't care all right super chat my 23, I feel like if Charlotte got the first pick, B. Miller, LaMelo, and Flagg as a crazy young court to build around,

why couldn't the pairing work? They all play multiple positions. I just told you why it don't work. It's got to be Cooper Flagg, too. Yes, bro. B. Miller can be there, but. Yeah, he did just break it down. I just told you.

Tap in. It don't make sense to have Cooper Flagg behind LaMelo, just business-wise. Yeah. We know what LaMelo means to the culture, to the kids, but if I'm a franchise, I am putting this man, Pauls, I'm putting Cooper Flagg on the front of everything. Yeah, it'll change the identity for sure. What? And for how they feel about him, I don't think they want any of LaMelo to rub off on Cooper Flagg on the front of everything. Yeah, it'll change the identity for sure. What?

And for how they feel about him, I don't think they want any of LaMelo to rub off on Cooper Flagg. They don't want that influence at all. Cooper Flagg start dressing like B-Rad, they're going to be pissed. Yeah, bro, we see Cooper Flagg pull to the game and do rag, they're going to trade LaMelo so fucking fast. That's crazy. He really got that effect, though.

Come on, bro. He lit. Rex Boyd asks asked Do signature shoe players Feel any kind of way When dudes on other teams Rock their shoe You have to get clearance I've always wondered this
