Starting point is 00:03:35 Don't worry about it, though. Now, listen, man. The bean. We're going to get to the substance in a minute. But I'm here to boast. I am not being humble. I don't give a fuck that y'all got hurt i hope y'all get well soon i don't wish injuries on nobody but guess what
Starting point is 00:03:50 the best ability is availability and tom tibideau playing on 48 minutes for 85 games somebody was bound to happen the way it happened and it's unfortunate but guess what i don't want to hear jaylen brunson played that game yesterday and we was up 20 before he left. No excuses. We beat y'all ass in game seven in y'all little dirty-ass gym. All them mice and rats. Y'all need a BBL in that arena. We came through. I seen all them old, ugly niggas on the sideline.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Y'all got John Starks clapping his hand like he won something. Nigga. Y'all can't guard TJ McConnell. They couldn't. TJ played well. TJ Nash. He been hooping all postseason, bro. He's having a great
Starting point is 00:04:26 Great run Year nine Best season Of his career He about to get paid He won't be a patient next year We will not be able to afford him He ain't a free agent though
Starting point is 00:04:33 I'm telling you We won't be able to afford him He'll be gone He'll be gone He's hooping man JR will be back next year bro I don't want to hear Nothing about that
Starting point is 00:04:43 Y'all disrespected Tyrese Halliburton, and my nigga walked y'all down 26-6 on y'all game floor. Talk about it. Tyrese played well, too. Their whole team played well. They had the energy. Nix was banged up, man. I can't lie.
Starting point is 00:04:55 It was rough. Too bad. For a game seven, that's a rough. That was rough. Hey, shout out to OG and Noby. All respect for him to get out there to at least even try to play. For him to hit them first two shots the way he hit. Nothing but respect, bro, because I know he was hurt.
Starting point is 00:05:10 He tried to Willis Reed that thing. You see him on the bench? That boy was off a beam. Yeah, he was trying to Willis Reed it. But the Knicks had a great season. Get well soon. Get well soon. I think they brung a lot of excitement back to the game.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I think the NBA playoffs was great because the Knicks was in it. And making it to the second round, they made it all exciting. Fans was great. Fat Joe on them being courtside every game. That was dope. Nah, I ain't going to hold you. The mystique of the guard and them having all the celebrities courtside and, like, the energy in the guard was crazy.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Like, basketball is better when the Knicks are a good team. Yeah, facts. We don't say that often because they're really not too good ever too often. But, hey, salute to y'all. Y'all almost got to the Eastern Conference Finals. Jalen Brunson, All-NBA. We know how he was when he was healthy. But moral of the story, we beat y'all ass.
Starting point is 00:05:53 We told y'all we was going to beat y'all ass. Sorry. Shout out to the Pacers, man. I will not. Historic ass whooping. Highest field goal percentage in the playoff game. Stop playing with us. Nobody's going to remember that.
Starting point is 00:06:05 No, they're going to remember the win. We ain't going to remember all them niggas who need central beans. That's tough, though. Y'all got to go to Boston, though. Listen, us getting in the playoffs this year was icing on the cake. Everything else is extra credit. We're not going to beat Boston. We're not going to beat Boston.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Them niggas cold. Salute. We get them. If they beat us in six, respect. We get game three at the crib. I'm happy. Look,
Starting point is 00:06:28 we ain't supposed to be here, but we are here. That's what, that's what losers always say. We ain't supposed to be here, but we here. To be that hype and to have that humble ass.
Starting point is 00:06:38 I'm realistic. You're giving them six though? Huh? You're giving them until. That is crazy. For sure. For sure. We can win six games for sure
Starting point is 00:06:45 Porzingis is going to probably Be out the first two games So that might make it A little bit You know what I'm saying Easier but Once he come back I mean if you've watched
Starting point is 00:06:52 Basketball this entire year Boston has looked like A championship team The entire year Everywhere that they excel We don't have nothing for that I mean Tyrese going crazy TJ McConnell going crazy
Starting point is 00:07:02 But they got Derek White and Drew They play elite defense Their wings are better than ours it is what it is I'm a real I can understand it's like hey we're gonna it's gonna be a really tough battle against them I think I'll match up pretty well with them though nah for real yeah I play team basketball like they do a lot of isolations mm-hmm yeah yeah startingall starting to guard ernie smith guard shout out to ernie smith all them guards so it might be an interesting series i think it'd be a better series than people think okay no i don't think it's gonna be a week series though that's why i said it's six mike because i feel like the way that we score uh the tempo of the game would give us
Starting point is 00:07:37 enough time to stay in those games but also that's more possessions for them and we can't guard jason tatum or jaylen brown i don't know. You doing Pilates this morning? Your neck moving all types of different ways, my nigga. What's going on over there? That's how I be when I be in that thing. Alright. Too early in the morning. They go up and down. Neck stretches,
Starting point is 00:07:58 fellas. Before you enter the dungeon. Like I said. You should be the neck strength and conditioning said. The dungeon? Man, you should have been a Nick Struth, the conditioning coach. Boston is going to kick your ass. All that, you just sound like Eminem
Starting point is 00:08:10 in that eight mile battle at the end when the nigga started saying, basically explaining what the nigga was going to roast him about. I know him, White Trash. Yeah, nah, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Fuck that shit. I know my mom hates me. Yeah, nah, fuck that. Nah, ain't no Drake shit. Nah, we ain't going to do that. We said no business. We going to be there in six. Nah, good win. That was a, ain't no Drake shit. Nah, we ain't going to do that. We ain't going to do no business. We going to be there in six. Nah, good win.
Starting point is 00:08:26 That was a good win. As much as I fucking hate the Pacers, that was a good win for the city. We needed that. Y'all motherfuckers ain't been there for a long, long time. So that's good for sure. Man, the last time we were there, we saw that picture of Paul George, Roy Hibbert, George Hill, and Lance in overalls, oiled up, looking like the weirdest R&B group of all time. That's when George
Starting point is 00:08:45 had the Chris Brown, wasn't it? Yeah, he went demolition, man. The shit been spooky ever since. Yeah. It's all Evan Turner fault, really. We're going to need
Starting point is 00:08:52 a 30 for 30 for that. Evan Turner ruined our Eastern Conference finals for four pieces. So who y'all got for this next series, though? Which one? On the west side.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Oh, first of all, we ain't going to go... Yo, man, get your shit off. I don't got nothing to say. You know, to me, I give MVP to Mike Conley. I know the numbers don't matter. Nah, facts.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Without him, bro, how I feel, they don't win, bro. 3-1-7 legend. You saw the big difference in that game. Was it game five that they lost? Yeah. It was a big difference when Mike wasn't playing. Yeah, huge difference. He like calm them down.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah. Get them into their shit. He makes sure the right people get the ball at wasn't playing. Yeah. Huge difference. He like calm them down. Get them into their shit. He makes sure the people, the right people get the ball at the right time. Yeah. Nah, he just a veteran. Veteran presence. And he hit two threes in that second half of that game yesterday. That was timely buckets that they needed.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Big shots. Timely buckets that they needed. I fuck with Anthony Edwards, you know what I'm saying, struggling in the first half and then still coming out the second half with that energy. Especially what he did in that fourth quarter. Like, it's just dope to see that. We don't ever see somebody that young go on a run like that, not too often. And the fact that they could really go to the finals and win,
Starting point is 00:09:53 that bitch is crazy. I got to give Rudy Gobert a shout-out. He played well. He got some big offensive rebounds. Man, they put the father stretch in my hands for Rudy hitting that fluke turnaround. I said, this is crazy. That was some bullshit, though crazy that was some bullshit well man and he was guarding well he did his thing last night now rudy held it down yesterday and cat went crazy too i was like if cat can stay out of
Starting point is 00:10:14 fucking foul trouble yeah he's a hack but he went crazy yesterday that was hooping man nazri in the fourth quarter was big too nazri. Nas Reed earned that sixth man of the year. He they best defender, bro. You think so? Him and that Alexander kid, bro. Mike do a lot, but them two niggas, bro. Like, the Alexander kid, bro, was the X Factor, bro. Alexander Walker? He had like 18 or some shit like that, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:37 He was the reason why they was in the game in the beginning. Before it got spooky and that little spurt that they had, he was keeping them afloat, at least. Like, come on and get your shit together. I'm trying to hold you down, nigga, but I can't play both sides of that. They fishing a little like this. At some point you got to take the game over.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Shout out to Jaden McDaniels. Niggas laughing at what he said. They got a KD, we got a Jaden McDaniels. He ain't lying, he been locking shit up. And they defense is crazy. Yeah, they be guarding. They compete on every possession. Like just seeing them when they did the jump ball with Mike,
Starting point is 00:11:08 running the half court, they get another tie up. I'm like, yeah, that's a big possession to get that real. Jamal Murray is raw, though. Nah, for sure. Playoff legend. Playoff legend, bro. Nah, he cold. Like, Joker, he was – and I ain't going to lie.
Starting point is 00:11:21 I was like, that nigga had that crazy double-double at halftime. I'm like, wow, bro. Double double at halftime I'm like Wow bro Yeah I thought it was over He I said Ain't nobody boxing this nigga out bro He got every Motherfucking rebound bro
Starting point is 00:11:33 Yeah I thought it was over But he was just Throwing motherfuckers out the way Like how he did Rudy Was so crazy Of that little stuff Like fuck out my way Like y'all know what it is
Starting point is 00:11:40 But they didn't give up bro And Man Aaron Gordon As good as he played That whole series He was the reason why They lost that game
Starting point is 00:11:47 For sure Nobody else Nobody else had double digits It was a tough game for them Jamal Murray and What's his name They had like 30 plus But the next highest score
Starting point is 00:11:55 I believe Had seven points in that game I mean they didn't even Crack 100 though Yeah It was a grind game Everybody was And Legion Hoops is crazy
Starting point is 00:12:03 Because they posted Michael Porter Jr. stats and they said he took his brother under. That is crazy. Y'all are illegal NBA account. Y'all cannot be saying that, bro. That's funny. That's going to be a good series, though.
Starting point is 00:12:17 But what's so crazy is I was looking even on some patient shit. What made me so excited was the fact that Pascal and Tyrese both came out in the first half and was just like, we're going to set the tone for as much as we even the first quarter. Again, we begged Tyrese to shoot the ball as soon as he starts shooting the ball. Shit. Good crazy. They set the tone for that. So like to have your two stars like Denver should have won a game. You up 20. You at the crib. They weren't playing the best. They really blew that game. But the Timberwolves still kept fucking playing. You got to respect it. I feel like the Timberwolves took the game.
Starting point is 00:12:47 They just kind of started imposing their will on them defensively. Started slowing them two players down. They imposed their will on them. Shit, they going to see the Mavs. We didn't even talk about that series. I ain't going to lie. The funniest shit I seen all weekend is the Kendrick Lamar, the They Not Like Us.
Starting point is 00:13:04 They put the little tag under the OKC picture under Josh Giddy head. Bro, I was crying. The red tag? Yeah, bro. Wow. That's right. He got a weird case. Why is he around?
Starting point is 00:13:19 Shout out to Shadow, man. Y'all young boys. Y'all was my sleeper team this year. Y'all had a good series. He should have been the MVP, man. Shea Goodrich Alexander played phenomenal this season. And he did not let them down in the postseason either. He was going crazy.
Starting point is 00:13:29 He went crazy. He just came up short. He a superstar. For sure. And I mean, feel how you want about it. That's a tough call that he got against PJ. It was a foul. It was a foul.
Starting point is 00:13:39 It was. It was. But it's a tough call. But it's still a foul. They was in Dallas too, so. Shout out. Shout out to Kyle. I would have ran tough call. But it's still a foul. They was in Dallas too, so. Shout out. Shout out to Kyle. Mark Cuban with a rent on the floor.
Starting point is 00:13:47 They didn't call that foul. Mark Cuban is definitely about to go to jail if they didn't call that. Shout out to PJ Washington too. It's crazy that they didn't want to pay him in Charlotte like that for real. And he get a new change of scenery. I mean, like, man, for real, he probably a $100 million kid. Bro, change. And he's going crazy at the right time. Yeah, but he just got paid for real, he probably a $100 million kid. Bro, change it. And he's going crazy
Starting point is 00:14:05 at the right time. But he just got paid in Charlotte, so he's stuck in a deal. But I'm just saying he would have got moved last year. Yeah. If he keep it up, though, he'd be straight.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Nah, he's going to get paid again. Yeah, he's going to get paid again. He young. He athletic, can guard, good size to shoot. He's durable, nigga. He's always available. Man, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:14:24 the best time to go crazy is in the playoffs. Because no matter what you do in the regular season, if you're known to show. He's durable, nigga. He's always available. Man, you know like this, the best time to go crazy is in the playoffs. Because no matter what you do in the regular season, if you're known to show up in the playoffs, that bag is always there. Shout out to Derrick Jones Jr. He's going to get some money. Man, Derrick Jones Jr., everywhere he goes impacts the fucking team in a positive sense, man. I rock with Derrick Jones Jr.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Good size, length on the wing as a defender. He can guard. And he was making shots. I think he was averaging 19 they last three games. Come on, bro. He was hitting some open threes, making shots, getting to the rim. Yeah. It's a tough backcourt they got to deal with, boy.
Starting point is 00:14:57 But now he got to guard. Ant, man. Well, it's going to get spooky. I like how Ant in the postgame was just like, well, y'all got to see my matchup with Kyrie. I said, I fuck with that. I fuck with that. But he's definitely not going to be Gardner, sir. That would definitely be P.J. Washington.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Because it won't be Kyrie or Luka Gardner at all. I just don't know, man. The Mavs, that's a tough, tough matchup, bro. I ain't going to lie. I like Minnesota in that series. You know I do, too. I think it's going to be hard to kind of slow Kyrie and Luka down, bro. I think it's going to be that.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I think it's going to be whoever dictates they will at the pace of the game is going to win. Because if it's up to the Mavs, like you said, they isolation heavy basketball. But if they get sped up, I don't think that's going to really fluster them. But the Timberwolves defense is just, like you said, relentless. It's constant. It's all guys. Nice read. Might have to take Luka.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Take him where? That's their best defender, bro. Jaden McDaniel is their best defender. What? Nas Reed is nowhere near their best defender. Yeah, you tripping, bro. He is. You got Jaden McDaniel.
Starting point is 00:15:55 He can guard all the positions, bro. Jaden McDaniel does not guard no big. Well, I mean, maybe not, bro. One through five, bro. If I can guard everybody that's on the floor and you can only guard two motherfuckers, bro. He can't consistently guard them. Yeah, bro. He can't guard them for a possession.
Starting point is 00:16:14 He can't consistently guard Luka. If they put him, Luka, they put Nas Reid on Luka, Luka going to have 70 points. Oh, that's like work. And that's no disrespect to Nas. He's just out of position there. Yeah, bro. He's going to get killed. That's going to be a tough cover for them. Who y'all got that series? You going
Starting point is 00:16:27 Timberwolves? Yeah, for some reason I think the Timberwolves are going to win. Timberwolves in six or seven? In six. Okay. What you got, B-Han? I'll take them in six. Timberwolves in six? We meet them. That's what I'm waiting for, that Drew Holiday so he can shut his ass up.
Starting point is 00:16:44 40 on that nigga every night I'm gonna have some fun to say Mavs and seven I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time have you ever had to shoot your gun sometimes the answer is yes but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Starting point is 00:20:30 You know what I mean It's going to be A crazy series It's going to be A crazy series Everyone's going to Hide this shirt Everyone's going to
Starting point is 00:20:36 Leave it at the old house Nah he's crazy And then he's going To the new green I'm telling you You got Boston all the way Yeah I told y'all That at the beginning When we used to play off started.
Starting point is 00:20:47 They just look like a championship team. They play like a championship team. Granted, they came across some injuries, true, but it didn't matter because they was going to be both of them teams anyway. They just look like. I think Porzingis might hurt them a little bit in that series against the Timberwolves. But I also think that. Who the fuck going to guard Cat? Now, shout out to Al Horford
Starting point is 00:21:06 But boy You better get that Icy hot ready They gonna need They gonna need 14 I'll see what Al did last game They gonna need 14
Starting point is 00:21:14 Al Horford Cause it's Christmas All I'm saying is Jason Tatum May really had a moment In the playoffs He had a cool game At some point It's gonna break He gonna had a moment in the playoffs. He had a cool game. At some point, it's going to break.
Starting point is 00:21:28 He's going to have a moment. It's going to be in the finals. Game three. Pacers, he's going to be cool. He's going to average like 25, 26. It's going to be the finals. He's going to have his moment. I'm telling you, I see it.
Starting point is 00:21:41 If Dallas goes to the finals, I want Jason Tatum to get a championship, but it's going to suck if he has to play here. He's going to have to try again next year. All I got to say is if Anthony Edwards is going to get a championship this year, that's crazy. The best player in the league, bro. He called. Y'all going to hate me.
Starting point is 00:21:56 If he's going to get that championship this year, it's going to be crazy. I love the postgame. Did you see what he was like when he pointed at that white man? Yeah, that was hard. Only thing is that the Dallas Mavericks are a better defensive team than the Nuggets. For sure. They got some elite wing defenders, bro. And they got rim protection.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I don't know, man. And they can match the bigs with the Minnesota. You got Lively and Gafford. That's a hell of a matchup. And like you said at the end of the day, yeah, you got Ant. But from an offensive standpoint, superior Kyrie and Luka. So if it comes down to that, shit can get spooky. Now, they got good defenders for sure.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Like, J. McDaniels is definitely going to do his fucking job. And I love Mike, but Mike can guard. But Mike might be too little for this series. Mike going to be in the corner to guard Derrick Jones Jr. That's it. I'll get him on Kyrie. They going to call. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:54 And salute. The Royce have a legend, but that's Christmas. But, like, if they put Tim Hardaway in them, man, he can guard Tim Hardaway. He can guard Derrick Jones Jr. for sure. But I'm saying if they start calling him up, picking rows, picking rows, and he gets stuck on Luka, Luka's 6'7". Luka's 6'7", 300 pounds. Yeah, ain't nothing you can do.
Starting point is 00:23:15 BBL Luka, bro. It's all post-up. That's crazy. He can definitely guard Kyrie. I ain't saying he's going to stop him or nothing, but he can guard Kyrie. That's an easier matchup. That's an easier matchup. I ain't really scared of that matchup from Mike.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Oh, you're not? Nah. Mike can guard. Listen, Mike, my dog, respect. He's going to make him make tough shots. I'll put it that way. But I don't think he's going to stop him. He ain't getting 40 like that on Mike Conley.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Hey, y'all, don't do that. Without a struggle. Don't do that, y'all. Nah, it's going to be a tough 40. It's going to be a tough 40. You think Mike I don't want to go against Mike because Mike is a legend for the city, but y'all got it fucked up. Can't nobody fucking guard Kyrie Irving?
Starting point is 00:23:54 We ain't never seen it. We understand that, bro. They put the best defenders in the world against this nigga. What happened? Kyra, everybody, every best player in the league is unstoppable to a sense. But to have a nigga have a struggle 40 and not a fishing 40 helps your team, gives your team a better chance to win, bro. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I wonder if Ant going to guard Kyrie. He will, though. I don't think he can guard him the whole series. But that's tough. If Mike is in the game, he can't guard Luka. No, he going to guard Derrick Jones Jr. or Kyrie. But that's tough You probably put If Mike is in the game He can't guard Luka Nah he gonna guard Derrick Jones Jr. Or Kyrie
Starting point is 00:24:26 But I'm just thinking like Damn do you start Ant on Kyrie Or do you start Mike on Kyrie Let's just see how the game go I can't wait It's gonna be a good series
Starting point is 00:24:36 It's gonna be good basketball Both ways I think both series Are gonna be Entertaining basketball I mean shit We've had a good playoff so far Like to have two game sevens
Starting point is 00:24:43 On a Sunday Is absolutely crazy And for both the home teams Game 7s on a Sunday is absolutely crazy. And for both the home teams to lose in a Game 7 is absolutely crazy. That was in the script. You know who's going to get cooked. Now, just thinking about it, my basketball mind just started working. So, Cat's going to be guarding P.J. Washington, right? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:24:58 They're about to call P.J. Washington in so many pick and rolls. Cat going to have to play one-on-one defense and he foul a lot. Sure does. He foul a whole lot, bro. That's right. So, now it's going to be Luka against Cat, Kyrie against Cat, unless they double team and P.J. Washington can shoot.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Speed coach? They're going to be in rotations a lot. Oh, it should be interesting. P.J. Washington going to be used a lot in this series. He the X Factor for sure. For sure. And he show up. I like the fact that he show up. No matter if he's playing,
Starting point is 00:25:29 no matter if he's scoring or not, he still keeps playing. Yeah. I like him. But I just, I'm going with the dogs, bro. Really just room fan.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Where's Maxie Cleaver? He still hurt. Yeah. How long he out? I don't know if he's gonna be back to shit, but I know when he first had to shit,
Starting point is 00:25:43 he was like out for at least two weeks or shit. I mean, he could have a miracle comeback, but I doubt that happens. But I think that big matchup with Lively and Gafford against them two is definitely going. If they had Maxie still. It'd be a little bit different, for sure, because they'd have more premium shooting. But Tim Hardaway type of nigga, he'll go two games and go off for 30. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:03 He one of them J.R. Smith type of nigga that he'll go two games and go off for 30 yeah he wanted him uh jr smith type of yeah he's definitely our general jr smith i hope cat go crazy on these niggas man did you see his voice uh change in the post in the post conference he didn't he trolling at this he's a troll bro i love him anthony edwards. That's my favorite duo. Yeah, Catatroll, bro. I'm starting to think he's trolling. Yeah, bro. He do this on purpose, bro. He going to go viral.
Starting point is 00:26:30 He read the comments, bro. Yeah, him and Tyrese, boy. That little voice switch up is so nasty. Yeah, how Tyrese dresses is crazy. But he's doing that, bro. That's not him, bro. That's what made it so funny. Them Knicks fans hating him.
Starting point is 00:26:42 They're like, look at this bullshit he be wearing. Yeah, busting y'all ass in the Doug funny outfits. My boy be coming in there with white Nike socks and dress shoes going crazy. Zion Wilson do the same shit, bro. Baby on bullshit. No, we not going to do that. Nah, he not going to put it. He dress like paying food.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Zion Wilson dress better than the Chyna Celebration. He dress like the nigga I'm class at. Oh, God. He look like that nigga. What, the Eric? He look just like that nigga I'm class at. Oh, God. He look like that nigga. With the earring. He look just like that nigga, bro. He a fan. He a fan.

Starting point is 00:27:24 That's where that big barbie girl from I don't know I ain't talking nothing about her hey did you see the press he said I love Dallas send my boy to the Mavs what's up that bitch big as hell nigga he's big as hell I know what I'm saying that's a lot of women
Starting point is 00:27:41 that motherfucker that's a crazy that bitch we're getting. That motherfucking. That's a crazy BBF. That's what that premium bag is. Zion said blow her up. It's an NBA recap, bro. We are talking about basketball, man. Zion said blow her up. Max her out.
Starting point is 00:28:02 We are talking about basketball, man. Oh, man. Respect. We love a good picker on. We all want to fuck up this show. Oh, man. Hell, no. Y'all see the offseason trades they talking about?
Starting point is 00:28:15 Donovan Mitchell the number one target for the Lakers? Yeah. Y'all fucking with that. What is LeBron going to do? That's my question. Before y'all go get, what is LeBron going to do? He going to stay in LA. I don't think he's leaving either. They got the 17th pick. I wonder who they going to do? That's my question. Before y'all go get – what is LeBron going to do? He's going to stay in L.A. I don't think he's leaving either.
Starting point is 00:28:27 They got the 17th pick. I wonder who they're going to pick to. Not Bronny James. They ain't going to pick Bronny. Which I think Donovan is a good fit for Bron in the 80, though. Yeah, they need somebody who can score. I don't think nobody – everybody ain't going to get dumbed down a little bit when you play with Bron.
Starting point is 00:28:42 You got to be like Kyrie. I don't mitchell got kairi capabilities but i don't know if that fit i just don't kind of what they would give up to get him which would be adequate enough i'm just looking i'm just like like you said that 25 30 is gonna go down some because lebron's gonna have the ball in his hands no matter what so donovan mitchell unless they're gonna tell him oh you can just come downhill and go crazyBron's going to have the ball in his hands no matter what. So Donovan Mitchell, unless they're going to tell him, oh, you can just come down and he'll go crazy, bro, it's going to hinder his game. And then he got to throw it to AD.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Like, I like Donovan Mitchell when he the man because he get buckets for real. Get to it. Yeah, I like him in Cleveland. I do because he make Cleveland a sighting to watch. He getting 40s, 35, 40, 50, 60 points. Cleveland going to be terrible to watch without him. And I was going to ask you this. I'm glad you brought that up.
Starting point is 00:29:31 They was mad at, oh boy, with the fro, Jared Allen, because he didn't want to take the shot to play. And I'm just like, that's so crazy that people are getting upset that people have to take Demertranco Lashley to play basketball. If you look at OG and OB yesterday, there's no reason he should have been playing yeah it's just people want to see you have that kind of dedication at least make a attempt like if he would have just went out there and was like shit i just can't do it people would have clapped and shit like damn he gave an effort but be like hell no i'm straight my fucker's like damn nigga you don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:30:02 but i understand though like my fucker i gotta live i ain nigga, you don't give a fuck. But I understand, though. Like, motherfucker, I got to live. I ain't about to do some shit today. I ain't about to take a shot for y'all. Yeah, bro. Like, people don't understand the effects of those things. Like, why do I have to do that just to show up to work? Niggas call off for a snowmobile. You think I'm about to go get a shot, bro, that I don't know how I'm going to feel after this?
Starting point is 00:30:19 And we ain't about to really win no way. Yeah, it was over with. But, yeah. I'm interested to see where Donovan Mitchell goes. I've seen the Nets. I don't know why. I've seen Miami. I like the Miami situation a lot.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Interesting to see what they'll do with Jimmy because Jimmy said, I need that bread. And y'all owe it to him, realistically. He did a lot for that team after LeBron. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:37 A whole lot. They've been to the finals a couple times because of him. Literally because of him, which is crazy. But if they get Donovan Mitchell and Jimmy Butler, yeah,
Starting point is 00:30:46 that'd be hard. Oh, if they keep Jimmy, get Donovan Mitchell with Bam. Yeah, they have to give up Tyler, some first round picks, probably Hami,
Starting point is 00:30:54 Hakes. Yeah, and that's cool. Yeah, that's worth it. Yeah, and that's just why. That's a crazy trio,
Starting point is 00:30:59 actually. Because Bam is cold. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Bam, Donovan, and Jimmy, that'd be a nice squad. That's the league for sure. But look, man, NBA playoffs have been Martin probably was cold oh yeah yeah Bam Donovan and
Starting point is 00:31:05 Jimmy that'd be a nice squad that's the league for sure but look man NBA playoffs have been absolutely wonderful man
