Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning. Happy Thursday. It's 520 in the morning.

Your favorite sports show here to keep you up to date. Everything in the sports world, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. Joined this morning by my two brothers to my left, Bishop Hendricks to my right, my brother Teague. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? Good morning, brother. What up, though?

What's going on, man? Wednesday was a good night for sports for sure, man. We got some really good basketball last night, man. Yeah. Most definitely, man. Let's get straight to it, man. Best two teams in the league matched up last night. The Cavs took care of the Thunder, stopped a 15-game win streak with a 129-122 victory. NBA's top two teams, man. Listen, before we even get into the stats, I know we talked about, you know, the ratings would probably not reflect how good it would be,

but imagine these two teams with seven games, man. That was a hell of a game last night. Nah, that was fun basketball to watch. We talked about how good both teams were. I would love to see them with a full roster, the Thunder. You know, the big guys for the Cavs, they really dominated the game. Most definitely.

So, having Chet back and going against each other, I'd like to see that matchup. For sure, man. Jared Allen had 25-11 yesterday. Edmund Mobley, as well, had 21-10-7. Like you said, the bigs of the Cavs yesterday really took over. Be here.

The Thunder, man, did you see some things you like you could take from that loss yesterday? No, we still waiting on the guy. That was a good win for the Cavs. You know what I mean? Cavs actually like 11-0 versus the Western Conference team. So they really been

smacking shit for real. And they 19-1 at the crib. So I put some respect on them. They have an unbelievable season for sure. We talked about Evan Mobley for our all-star bid. Yeah.

And I think we got to take a little more notice of that. I think Jared Allen is great, but for the big, for the Cavs, if they get an all-star

now, it should be Evan Mobley. He balling and he guards. Yeah. He's switching one through four, one through five,

really. He guarding everybody. He can do pretty much everything on the floor. He didn't shoot the three good last night, but he been shooting a lot better this season.

So, he's making himself as a capable player, two-way player, an all-star type player. For them still to win like this. And shit, Donovan, what about the call that nigga Donovan McNabb? Donovan Mitchell, he's been struggling these last four games too. So for them to still be winning, and he only, he's been scoring under 20. That says a lot for them. DG had 18 as well he been scoring under 20 that says a lot for them

DG had 18 as well to help out but that is interesting that you say that I think one thing for me with Evan Mobley is the rebounding aspect I know that kind of

fluctuates with him yes sometimes it may take away from Jared Allen but when you got both of them getting 21 rebounds and them both scoring 20 that means they dominating for sure

so that's another OKC like we said this wasn't a blowout this was a hell of a game SGA still had 30 J. Will had 25 5 and 9 game. SGA still had 30. J. Will had 25, 5, and 9 assists.

Isaiah Hardenstein had 18, 11, and 8. So like you said, having Chetis reinforcing might have helped him a lot last night because he still balled out. Yeah, they still got Hoopers. I mean, SGA,

we probably front-runner for MVP. J. Will, like I said, he could get an all-star nod this year. And Hardenstein, I told you he won the top 10 bigs

in the league. It was just that matchup was a little different. You know, Evan Mobley, damn near seven foot. And you got him going against J. Will, who's actually a two-guard, small forward. But he's matching up with him or Lou Dort. So it was kind of an odd matchup, and they took advantage of it last night.

Most definitely. One thing to talk about, too, the bench points, the Cavs bench gave them 43 last night. OKC gave them 26. We talked about that OKC team started with a bench. You know,

they still been playing well, but in the playoffs, is it going to look different on the road than it is at home? This was a big game to try to test that. Yeah, they need a little scoring

off the bench. I think when they get checked back, their rotations could be a little different. Yeah, most definitely. And Chet or SGA

could play with the second unit a little more and they'd probably be the go-toet or SGA could play with the second unit a little more and they'd probably be the go-to player or J-Will and it'll give them a different look in their rotations.

So right now, having to play J-Will, SGA, a lot at the same time, they don't get the same score when they get off the bench or in that second unit. Most definitely.

Behan, do you think y'all need to grab somebody else off the bench that could just be a bucket for them or just wait to see how it works for Chet to get there?

Nah, we straight. We don't need nobody. Y'all, them other teams need pieces. We good. Yeah. They just need to switch the rotations. Yeah. And they just need Chet to get back so somebody else can play with the second unit.

Yeah, we missing a value, valuable piece. We missing our Porzingis. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, when Bro get back, we'll see. What's up? I want to ask y'all this. Between these two teams, who has the best chance of coming out of their division?

Or conference, excuse me. I would probably say OKC. OK. You talking about playing the championship? Yeah, to get to the finals. Yeah, OKC. I feel like the West is down this year. They got capable teams, but obviously you got a young Thunder team

who's second in the West, and a young Grizzlies team who got veteran pieces, but Ja been in and out of the lineup, and we know they only move as far as Ja go, especially in the playoffs. The Nuggets, a veteran team, championship team, and fourth, Jokic, man, hurt the last couple of games. He been out. But I don't know if I believe in Denver right now. I think OKC can get past Denver.

But... If they keep their same roster. Yeah, I don't know. If they get a piece, shit can get different. Everybody else, I feel like they got to get healthy. I don't know how good

the Mavs are right now. Yeah. I don't know if they come back healthy or whatever. I don't really know. They're up in the air. Everybody else is pretty much a wash for me. I think they can beat everybody else.

Most definitely. I'm all with that. In the Cavs situation, I think that the unfortunate part, I mean, they're playing great basketball. We got some respect to it. I don't know if they can beat the Celtics or the Knicks in the series yet. I'm not 100% sold. But granted, with them being number one,

they don't have to face one of them, which is going to be to their benefit because those two will probably see each other before they get to them. I'm scared for them to face up with Milwaukee. So that 1-5, 1-4, whatever they end up being, match up in the Sims,

I'm scared for that. Yeah, that's not a good look for them. Because Giannis and Dame, Chris Middleton, they're proven scorers, proven champions. Dame, we know what he does in the playoffs. I don't know if the Cavs have a guy who can do that. I mean, Donovan Mitchell had big playoff runs, but he hasn't made a deep, deep playoff run like Giannis.

Finals MVP, Chris Middleton, carry teams in the finals. I don't know if they can match up well against Milwaukee. It might be a tough game for them. Tough series. Milwaukee don't got no bench, though. I think I agree with you, but if Cavs bench keep improving, then it could be shit. I don't know.

But did I just say Chris Middleton coming off the bench now? So, yeah, that's the... But also, you got to think in the playoffs. Tune into the pod for that conversation. In the playoffs, you got to think in the playoffs. Tune into the pod for that conversation. In the playoffs, you got to think. Seven-man rotation. Yeah. People playing 45 minutes a game.

People don't really come out. Yeah. Trust me. I was up in there for 30 seconds. Niggas weren't coming out, bro. You had some different knees, bro. I'm just saying. You had 30-second knees, bro.

Yeah. That's crazy. The rotation pulls. The rotation tighten up, for real. Nah, for sure. So, like, I mean, Milwaukee

really built for the playoffs, to be honest. Yeah, they got two people who could dominate a game for you. They could dominate together and you got rotational players who's going to help and you got a coach

This nigga DJ Boy Sexy. What the fuck? Oh, no. Damn, Jerry Wade. who are going to help. This nigga DJ Boyz sexy. What the fuck? Oh, no. Damn, Jerry Wade. R.I.P. to the legend. Sneaky, I'm like, what the fuck? Call the sex line.

And we don't got PTO 520. I had to show up under the weather this morning. We did it though. Yeah, call me on 1-800- GetYourDrawsWith.com Hey, that's crazy. My boy did say since the slammer. Yeah, call me on 1-800-getyoudrawswith.com. Hey, that's crazy. What did it say?

It says the slammer. You are sick. The Nuggets beat the sleeves off the Clippers yesterday, 126-103. Joker missed the game. It still didn't matter. Russell Rushbrook held it down, 19-68. Jamal Murray had 21-9. MPJ had 19-8.

And Peasy balled out. He had 30. And James Harden had 16. But, man, we called this game yesterday. Yeah. Yeah, I have faith in the Clips. But, you know what I'm saying? I don't know, man.

James can't have them type of stat lines. We need too much from him. We blaming James with his loss? I'm not blaming him for the loss. I'm just saying he can't have 16 type of stat lines. We need too much from him. We blaming James with his loss? I'm not blaming him in front of the loss. I'm just saying he can't have 16-3-4. He can have 16-3-4 if Kawhi playing. You know what I'm saying? But he just had an off night.

Well, Kawhi missed it because of, you know, obviously what's going on in prayers up to those doing, enduring what's going on in California right now. That is insane, man. Yeah, that's crazy. Thoughts and prayers to everyone. Affected for sure. He missed a game yesterday to be with his family with that situation. now, that is insane, man. Yeah, that's crazy. Thoughts and prayers to everyone. Affected for sure. He missed a game yesterday

to be with his family with that situation. But I don't know, man. I think with Kawhi gets back, you know what I'm saying, actually playing full-time back-to-back, I think the Slippers team will be all right. I think they're just, you know what I'm saying, trap game yesterday.

It happens all the time. I don't think they're going to be all right when he comes back, bro. I don't either. You don't think so? You don't think he can coexist with this team? Nah, he can, but I don't think they're going to be good. Damn. I mean't either. Y'all don't think so? Y'all don't think he can coexist with this team? Nah, he can, but I don't think

they're going to be good. I mean, they can be good, but I don't look at them as a real factor. I mean, I'm not going to say that, but I mean,

I feel like Kawhi is still going to give you 20. I feel like it's okay to see Wes to lose. Yeah. They been in the playoffs. They had a year under their belt,

and it's like, now they at that point where it's like, we got to make one more step, and I think that step is getting to the playoffs. They had a year under their belt. And it's like, now they're at that point where it's like, we got to make one more step. And I think that step is getting to the finals. Yeah. I'm about to say a motherfucker

trying to wash my mouth. But somebody missing 40 games, bro. It's tough to come back, bro. Kawhi is a great player, bro. But he ain't going to really make no huge difference for them. No. Opposites are all this.

The Nuggets don't say handle them like this without Joker. I know we just talked about the playoff situation, but I feel like that's a team that you don't really want to see Joker four times, bro. Nah. Yeah, like, outside of OKC, I feel like that's a bad matchup for Danny or anybody else, because I feel like he can go win three

games, and Jamal Murray and MPJ can help him get them another one. At this point, they just got to start Westbrook. Like, he's playing so well with the starting lineup, and they playing well as a team. Joker out, whoever. them another one. At this point, they just got to start Westbrook. He's playing so well with the starting lineup, and they're playing well as a team. Joker out, whoever. Joker in. He's playing great. He's

that role player that they needed, and he's kind of like helping Jamal Murray manage the floor. Jamal Murray is really a two-guard at heart. Westbrook is a point guard at heart, and he knows how to get those guys to ball to be effective. But also Westbrook has this weird ability to play big man. Like him and Drew Holiday are the only guards I know.

And Rondo, who can kind of play like a big man. They can set screens, roll, get in a dunker, get offensive rebounds and stuff like that. And it's kind of like an Aaron Gordon thing, but he's a point guard. It's weird, but Westbrook is special with that. He's kind of like an Aaron Gordon thing, but he's a point guard. It's weird, but Westbrook is special with that. He's been doing it his whole career. I started noticing it in Houston. He was going up there setting screen and rolls for James Harden. I'm like,

what the hell is he doing? Yeah, Russell Westbrook slipping the screen is crazy. Yeah, but he's figured it out. He's made a role for himself on this team and he's a very important piece. And we got to talk about MPJ too, though. We always talk about his defense and how he doesn't play defense or whatever, but the way he's shooting very important piece. And we got to talk about MPJ too, though. We always talk about his defense and how he doesn't play defense or whatever. But the way he's shooting the ball this year,

he averaging 19. I would say it's the third option. But he's shooting 50 and 40. 50 from the field, 40 from the three. And it's kind of crazy. We don't really give him too much love. We talk about him pulling and being a gun, but if you that efficient, why not shoot?

We get these jokes out, but that's why they pay him. You a $100 million man because you get buckets. You're not paid to get assists. He had two assists last night, which I thought was funny. But you look at the stat line between Westbrook and Jamal Murray, like you get 40 points for both of them, and then you get, what, 17 assists? That's elite from both of your starters to get that.

Yeah, for sure. I'm sure he wanted them two assists back. Nah, he probably wanted two more shots. Let me get a deal if I can take these two back. Oh, okay. We got a live question from the chat. Hold on. Hold on.

All right. Somebody asked UT, Hulk Hogan getting booed in his moves. Is he top three? Top three wrestler of all time. He got booed in his moves. Is he top three? Top three wrestler of all time. He got booed in his top three moves. All he did was a fucking leg drop. Oh, what's my top three finishers?

Oh, this is a sidebar. We talking WWE now. My top three finishers. I love the RKO, Randy Orton. Whoever did that was a gump. I love the RKO, Randy Orton. Whoever did that was a gump. I love the RKO. Oh, fuck. Also, I used to like the torture rack from Lex Luger

because I used to put my little brother in there. Pause. Yeah, that was crazy. And I'd probably say the South Coast Stunner because everybody was running around trying to stun everybody. Yeah. Shout out to DeQuarius Hill. Shout out, yeah. Shout out to Daquarius Hill. Shout out to him, man.

Shout out to Daquarius West. Boy, some names in this one. Charlemagne Leguette. But yeah. Shout out to the Nuggets, man. They looking like... Wayne, man. Shout out to Daquarius.

I was probably just saying Sweet Chin Music. Nah, I ain't like the kid. Shawn Michaels used to kick the shot. I know. I ain't like the kid. Hey, man. Give Daquins his $10 back, man. Hey, somebody wrote me, tell B here and his drunk ass to stop hating on wrestling.

That's exactly what they wrote. Tell that drunk ass to stop hating on wrestling. Here you go, share a message. I'll just tell you what they wrote me. I was laughing. All right, Shane, roll. I was just laughing. But they're. I was laughing. I was just laughing. But there enough.

They wrote that I was rolling. I was like, look at him, hating on wrestling. Start teeing up on me. I didn't say nothing about wrestling. I don't know.

I'm just curious. We appreciate you for tuning in. And I hate you not getting a shout out. I'm just worried. Don't send no more fucking money, bro,

asking no questions about no wrestling, though. Man, stop hating, bro. Hey, take his tickets back, bro asking no questions about no wrestler though bro. Hey, take his tickets back WWE. He cannot go to Royal Rumble. Oh yeah, but shout out. Huh? Alright, what's the other question? Come on, Daquarius. I'm rocking with you.

I hope this nigga just fire on you one day, cuz. This for wrestling. Ow! This for wrestling. I'll be rolling, nigga. For the love of the game, it's crazy. Oh, my God, man. Oh, man.

The books. I'm ready to leave those boys alone. The books took care of the Spurs yesterday, man. Yeah. Wimby walking in suit was crazy yesterday. I don't know if y'all seen that, but his fit to come into the game yesterday, I knew they was going to lose.

Dame had 26-8. Giannis had 25-16-8. Brooke Lopez had 22-7. CP had 18-7. Wimby had a double-double with 10-10. The Bucs made 19 threes last night, bro. And when they hitting like that, they going to beat everybody.

Yeah, they a good team. I that, they're going to beat everybody. Yeah, they're a good team. I mean, they got Hall of Fame players. Like, we know they got the abilities to burn off a bunch of games in a row. They got players

who can take over games at any point in time. And they got guys off the bench who can get hot. Bobby Portis can get hot. Now Chris Middleton, supposedly coming off the bench,

can get hot. You got capable players all over the board it's a team that we should see in the Eastern Conference finals probably

most definitely listen they got the top scoring duo in the NBA at 56 points per game are they the best tag team in the NBA I mean it's debatable

I mean you got a couple of teams that got nice duos Luke and Kyrie been out so right now Jason I'm not mad at that

Jason and JB yeah I was gonna say I'm gonna go with them they still a great duo but Giannis and Dame you can't go wrong with that nah bro top 75

two hall of famers hall of famers you can't go wrong with it yeah I'm not mad at it I'd take them too 100% most definitely if you't go wrong with it. I'm not mad at it. I'll take them, too. 100%. Most definitely.

If you were to start a team, yeah, I'm going to take them, too. That's how I'd expect the JT and JB. I know they just got to reign together, but yeah. They got a lot of other pieces that make them great, too, though. Yeah, if I could build my team around them, yeah, it's a different conversation. Yeah. But yeah, man. The Bucks, man.

You talked about it. They done caught a stride. I remember Doc was getting a lot of hell, especially on this show. It's been quiet, man. They've been looking like a contender for sure. San Antonio, what do y'all think they need to do? Do they need to add any pieces or just see how the course goes this year and just get in the playoffs?

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

I mean, I'm not going to say nobody wants to compete. They probably want to get another solid piece in the draft. But if they can make the playoffs, I'm sure they will. They're not mad about it, but they could get another piece in the draft. It's a young team that could be good. Yeah, everybody don't need a piece. Yeah. Just rock out with who you got.

Yeah, they could just get another guy in the draft. If they could get a young talent in the draft, I think it's a deep enough draft where they could find some guys. If they can get the top eight pick, I think you would find a good quality player at eight.

Now I ask y'all this question. Should they try to build through the draft, or should they just acquire assets pick, I think you would find a good quality player at eight. Now, I ask y'all this question. Should they try to build through the draft or should they just acquire assets and then try to get some people to come

hoop with Wimby? Well, I mean, Wimby's an attraction. I think people would like to play with Wimby, but right now, nobody wants to be

in San Antonio. I'm just being real. It's a tough place to probably get free agents to go. But, in the past, they were such a good team that people would go because they know I'm just being real. It's a tough place to probably get free agents to go. Bucks. In the past, they were such a good team that people would go because they know they had a chance to win a championship.

Especially at the end of their career. Yeah, right now it's a young team. They got a CP because of the money. And he got a chance to start and play. He still wanted to do that. But not too many other people are going to go there. Now, if they get a young guy, a young point guard who want to link up with Wimby and think they can start

something, that's different. And Castle looking like we're good here. Yeah, he can hoop, man. Yeah, he's in charge of the playoffs. I'm saying, so do you, if you're the Spurs, do you spend some money and try to go get another point guard or a trade for like a

De'Aaron Fox or a Trey Young or whoever it is. Do you do that or do you let Castle just build and just become the point guard of the future? Because I think he can play point. I mean, shit.

If you got the opportunity to go get one of them two-type players, I think you go get him. And then, I mean, obviously they can play alongside him. That's going to be even better for him. But if you can go get

two point guards of that caliber who are two great point guards we're talking about, make it happen because you got the money to spend it and then you can just fill in the roster that way.

Yeah, but you know you got to trade Castle. If you go trade for one of them, people's asking for him. Yeah, he's out of here. You don't think San Antonio could,

I mean, they got draft capital. You don't think they could throw a couple picks in there and make it done? If I'm trading my star I'm trading Trey Young. Castle has to come too.

Yeah, he's the first person I'm asking for. You got to come to a lawyer, bro. Yeah, like, respect. Yeah,

so I was just wondering if it's worth trading him for one of those guys. I mean, if one of those guys is ready to go, yeah. It'd be determined.

For sure. From the chat, it says, is it worth trading Chris Milton? If so, for who? That's a very tough question. I don't know who you trade Chris Middleton for at this point.

If he's injured and you can get off, if he's not going to be able to play like Chris Middleton, yeah, you trade him. But we don't know. Yeah. But 10 and 9 is in the ankles. The feet, the most important thing. Once them start going on the ankles, you're done. Yeah.

Yeah, so I don't know. I don't know. I think you gotta wait one more year. I think you give them finish this year out, see what they do, and try to get him in the trade market. Chris Milliton, what, 33? Shit, he look 60.

Boy. Boy, you look 30. Well, he got a different lineage, but I don? Shit, he looks 60. Boy. Boy, you look 30. Well, he got a different lineage, but... I don't know how old Chris is. He might be young. He might be fairly young. He older or younger than B. He probably be 32. Oh, he's definitely younger than B.

Might be 32. 33. 33. Yeah, he got some more years left. A few. Yeah, he got a few left. For sure. Man, he came to the league late, didn't he?

How many years he been in the league late didn't he how many years he been in the league for a minute 12 years he was in Detroit twice he been in the league a minute he came here

when he was 21 for sure shout out to Chris Milton man the Knicks took care of the Raptors yesterday won 12-98

had 27-13 OG had 27 as well Josh Harbaugh's killing yesterday he had 21-11-7. And IQ had 22. The Knicks started scoring 98 of the 112.

Do y'all see this being a problem in the playoffs or just this fits right into Tibbs' game plan? This is the playoffs. They're only going to play five, six people. So, this is how it's going to work. The only thing is, can they make it to the playoffs playing this way? Are guys going to stay healthy enough to make it? You know, playing 40 minutes a night for 82 games is crazy.

So I'm a little nervous about that. Will they make it to the playoffs healthy? Because last year Brunson got to the playoffs and was banged up. Yeah, he was hurt. He was hurt, couldn't do nothing. And that hurt the Knicks a little bit. Do we make it to the playoffs healthy? I don't know. That's the question for the Knicks. Can they get there we make it to the playoffs healthy? I don't know.

That's the question for the Knicks. Can they get there healthy? Yeah, they have a league low scoring bench. I want to ask that question because, I mean, obviously we know when they're firing off cylinders, the Knicks is hard to deal with. But in the occasion you're in the playoffs and some of those role players have off nights,

you're going to have to rely upon somebody. Can you rely upon Cat and JB to take you home every time? They not going to have them. They not playing. They just not going to get no run. The Knicks, I'm telling you. Okay.

They got to be healthy to the playoffs. If they can get their five starters to the playoffs, they be good. But if anybody get hurt, it's quiet for the Knicks because they don't play nobody. So do you think Tibbs might open up the rotation throughout the year just to make sure they don't limp across like they did last time, or he just going to be on what he on? That's the world will never know.

We've been saying this since the Bulls. Touche. Touche. He still don't give a damn. You know what I mean? Shut up at who? We've been saying this

from the Bulls. Last year they had Alec Burke and some guys step up because people were hurt. Alec Burke was killing it. I don't see. I mean, let me see. I don't see if they got anybody

like, well, Landry Shaman can play. Cameron Payne can play. And Miles McBride, I don't know. Miles McBride, he's been out, but they got some capable players on the bench. I just don't know if they'll get to play. They got Tyler Cullin to deal with TJ Nash. I don't know if they'll get to play.

It's not going to be Jericho Sims. Yeah. But listen, man, like you said, the Knicks, they hooping right now, man. You got OG averaging about 17, Josh Hart about 15, and Bridges at about 19. And your two all-stars getting about 20, 25 apiece. That's a hell of a team, man. But if you watch their games, his rotations are a little different, though. He keep a couple stars on the court at the same time.

They get out the game. They just rotate. They start with the second unit. They just keep a good player on the court at all times. They got a the second unit. They just, they keep a good... They got enough to do that, though. They keep a good player on the court at all times. They got to help

the team, man. I know how I feel about my next take this year. We'll see if it comes to fruition. A couple more games last night.

The Bulls beat the living shit out the Bulls yesterday. Oh, the Patriots? Yeah. Patriots, excuse me. 129-113.

Six in the East right now. We got the last four wins. The Pistons, they done got eight of their last nine right now sitting in eighth. And then I think your Hawks

is seventh. I'm going to ask you who you think, we already have our conversation about that. Do you think y'all finish higher than the Pistons? I think we're going to finish

higher than the Pacers. What the fuck is she talking about? Where we at right now? We're six. We nine. Okay. And these niggas gone. I'm just going to,

I'm saying, y'all right next to the Pistons. Y'all 19-8. It's a game away from me. I'm just saying, I'm saying y'all right next to the Pistons y'all 19-8 it's a game away from me I'm just saying do you think y'all can be hired at the end of the year to the Pistons

we gonna be hired in the Pacers don't speak on us I'm asking about the Detroit Pistons Jerry Wayne shit out the door I called Michael PTO tell him we already used it

you don't think so? But y'all know how I like the Pistons, though. I talked about it. When the year first started, I said the Pistons got some veteran pieces that's going to help the young core they got. Jay not even getting hurt. Yeah.

I hate to see that, but it activated some guys. Like Tim Hardaway has been great. Some of these guys have been playing at high levels. And K. Cunningham is an all-star. He's been doing his thing. He's having an all-star moment.

But Trey Young's been having an all-star year too. So it's a battle. I think we all make the play in. I don't think we all I don't think we're going to do anything special.

I don't think we're about to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. But Trey got the ability to go on a run. I was going to say now to be fair out of all that I know that we're probably playing basketball the way we're supposed to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, but Trey got the ability to go on a run. I was going to say, now, to be fair out of all that, I know that we're probably playing basketball the way we're supposed to, but y'all do have a star in Trey Young that I would fear in the playoffs.

And he's been on a run before. He's been there before. Yeah, he's made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. He's been on a run, and he got the ability to lead a team and get them back to hunting the playoffs. I don't think they're going to make a run like that this year. I think the Cavs, Milwaukee, Boston, they solidified themselves this year as a team to be reckoned with.

I don't know, man. It's interesting, though. It's a good year for the East, though. Most definitely. We thought it would be the other way around for sure. Siakam had 26-6 yesterday. He was killing it. Zach Levine had 31 yesterday.

A boy auditioning for show for that, man. Can't wait to find out where he goes. Yeah. Most definitely. 76 to beat the Wizards yesterday. 109-2-103. Ariz Maxey was killing yesterday. Good game, my boy.

Hell yeah. And shout out to Eric Gord, man. Five for eight. Everybody been sending his lowlights and saying he's done and he's cooked. He got a chance to start and had a good game.

For sure, man. Shout out to EJ. Still out there holding to start and had a good game. For sure, man. Shots at EJ. Still out there holding it down. Yeah. Pistons, like we said, took care of the Nets yesterday. 1-13 to 98. Like you said,

Malik Beasley got an opportunity to hook yesterday and he killed. Yeah. They've had 23 and 5 yesterday, man. Gonna get another paycheck, boy. I see. Run it up.

Run it up for sure. The Blazers beat the Pelicans yesterday 1-9 to 100 Zion did not play he was nothing on the back to back respect uh uh

Nah, I'm saying Zion haven't gave us Kawhi solidified his career and got rings he did something that a lot of people have never done nah yeah I thought you just meant just for the bullshit
