My boy got the breakfast cocktail. It ain't no hen dog in that one nah it's a mocktail yeah we just we just cool on the day i just want to say my bad j mac i fucked up mixing you up with uh alexander nasty i had the two mixing fucking headbands got me that's my bad my boy alexander ain't been doing a motherfucking thing. That's the impression they said to Kyle. They were just like, that nigga ain't watch the game. My brother hit me like, nigga, you fucked up. I'm like, bro, the headbands got me.

My fault. Shout out to the headbands. To my right, my dog, Young Nacho, Young T. How you up this morning? I'm chilling, man. Watched some good games last night. Well, a good game last night. For sure.

Before we get to the game, we got to acknowledge the feats. You know what I'm saying? Normally, 520, we go crazy with the footwork, but you pulled out some heat today. You know what I'm saying? I ain't seen no tens in a while. I'm about to hoop in these.

Disrespectful. Yeah, that's why I had them on. I'm about to hoop in them. Is that a good shoe to hoop in, though? One of the best joints to hoop in, for sure. For real? Yeah, they cool to hoop in. You got to put a little baby powder under that sole.

Them hoes good. They going to be squeaking. Yeah, they going to squeak. They going to church mouse in that hoop in for sure. For real. Yeah, they cool to hoop in. You got to put a little baby powder under that so them hoes good. They're going to be squeaking soon. Yeah, they're going to squeak. They're going to church mouse in that joint for sure. But, man, we're going to start off with last night. Mavs, Timberwolves, great basketball. Amazing basketball game. Obviously, the Mavs got that.

I don't even know where to start with that because so much happened in that game. But like we said last year, once they figured it out, Luka Kyrie could really go get four games against anybody, and that's what it's looking like right now. Yeah, that dynamic is special. Kyrie came out the gate strong. I thought he was going for one of those special Kyrie moments, like going for 50 or something like that.

But he did what he had to do to keep the game close in the first half. Timberwolves came out with a lot of energy. They was at home. They were playing well. But Luka was struggling a little bit in the first half, but Kyrie was able to maintain shit. Yeah, and it was fire how everybody acknowledged when Kyrie came out super aggressive.

They was just like, oh, he heard it in the interview. He was like, no, I'm going to set the tone. But to hear his post game, he was just like, I mean, some of that was in the play, but I realized last year when I got in the playoffs, ain't nobody else been here but me. And ain't nobody been as far as I have outside of, well, Luka went to the Western Conference finals,

but he had to set the tone. He went crazy last night. No, he killed, he killed. They got to do something about that lob, though, to Minnesota Timberwolves, man. They was killing their ass on that lob. Drop coverage. You know, boy, shitty, bro.

They got to get better at that that's what killed them for real and no second chance points killed them yeah the rebounded i mean they went crazy with that i i'm used to seeing minnesota get those type of advantages well they had a disadvantage all the time because they're trying to put two on the ball and the drop coverage with rudy you give luca and them can put guards on their hip and still make plays. And if you step up a little bit, it's a lob to the rim, or they're going to shoot that little runner. So they end up buying a little bit.

I seen at the beginning they were trying to trap Kyrie, and when they put two on the ball, it just opened up for lobs. They got too many guys that can high fly. So it's a tough coverage, but, I mean, it was working. They really had the game. Yeah, for sure. They had it. Yeah, like you said, I mean, it was working. They really had the game. Yeah, for sure. They had it. Yeah, like you said, I mean, if you look at J. McDaniels,

another elite game, like way to show the fuck up. And struggled yesterday, but despite his offensive struggles, he still showed up in the fourth. And he also, people didn't pay attention. At one point he had eight points. They was like, I didn't even show up. He had like nine rebounds. Like he was very, very there yesterday. He was there yesterday.

He almost had a triple dub. Shout out to Cat. Cat showed up yesterday. Yeah. Cat kept them in the game in the fourth quarter. He got a lot of big buckets. Yeah. Them niggas got to hit the boards, bro.

They got to hit the boards more. Fucking Rudy Goldberg got to fucking catch the ball. He dropped the ball on some critical moments, man. I loved how everybody was just like, Anthony was going to get like three fucking catch the ball. He dropped the ball on some critical moments, man. I loved how everybody was just like, Anthony was going to get three people in the lane. They was like, why is he dropping it off? I said, because every time he does, Rudy can drop the fucking ball. Probably dropped that because of the big balls.

So at this point, he might as well try something different right now. But shout out to Rudy. Nas gave him some great minutes yesterday, too. For sure. He had some big shots in him yesterday, too. Even for him, I mean, as good as he played yesterday, he had a stretch in the game yesterday where he For sure. He had some big shots in them yesterday too. Even for him, I mean, as good as he played yesterday, he had a stretch in the game yesterday

where he was cold. Yeah. But they keep fighting. But I'm interested about that series. That series is really good basketball. Luka going crazy.

Shout out to PJ Washington too. He did his thing too yesterday in the AFC. Great game. I don't know if we're going to say great game,

but he showed up when he needed to because he was struggling that game. But he hit that three and he, fuck hitting all game, hit the one you need to needed to because he was struggling that game. But he hit that three, and he – fuck hitting all game. Hit the one you need to hit. Yeah, but he was playing good defense too. No, no, no, for sure, for sure.

That's what I'm saying, bro. Like, that shit matters. So, shots you. I think the Mavs issue was they needed somebody else to hit a couple of them shots because Luke and Kyrie really carried it. Hell, I didn't miss that. Well, yeah, they both had 30. Nobody else was really scoring on the offensive end.

That's what I'm saying. Niggas was playing good defense, though, for sure. Yeah. They're going to need some harder way to have a moment. I'm going to tell you, X and one of them are going to have to come in and make some plays, make some shots. I seen they gave Hardy a little tick at the beginning of the game, but he's capable of scoring.

Yeah. They're going to need one more guy that can put the ball in the basket. I think if Josh Green can just kind of calm down a little bit, I think he could definitely contribute to that because, man, I was really getting back on that block.

It's crazy, but that pass from Luka with Soey Lee, bro, you have to finish that. Yeah. A full court bounce pass, like, bro, that's crazy. I don't see him having

another one of them type of games in the beginning, though. I don't know why they keep saying he was tired. I mean, I'm sure that fatigue came into it, but...

My boy was holding that hip. But he keep saying he was tired. I mean, I'm sure that fatigue came into it. Shit, I ain't on my road to end the game. My boy was holding that hip. But he keep falling through that shit. That's why I fuck with him, man. He keep going like, damn, we really can't count on nobody else. They need me to get some buckets, so fuck it. A game seven, guarding Jamal Murray full court, and then coming back around and guarding an even better scorer in Kyrie. You're going to get tired.

That's why it's not meant for people to guard the best player every game when you're the primary scorer. You're going to have to take some time, man. You're going to have to go guard P.J. Washington for a little bit here and there. He can't do that for a whole game. It's not possible. Thank you all for saying that because I was like, yeah, he was in the battle yesterday, but his fatigue isn't just because he's not in shape or notall for saying that Because I was like Yeah he was in the battle Yesterday but

His fatigue isn't just Because he's not in shape Or not conditioned Or ready for the moment It's because he just guarded Two of the best Offensive players in the NBA My nigga don't smoke

Cigarettes you know I mean bro lived it You feel me So that shit matters though bro But he was trying to do Whatever he could for his team I fuck with it Yeah they gonna have to

Figure out a different Game plan though That ain't gonna work He can't guard them That long and get buckets. I mean, like you said, Cat played great. But they need one more score or two. Nas did his thing.

But I think Mike is going to have to be a little more aggressive. Yeah, Mike wasn't aggressive at all in the beginning. He only had like six points, I believe. I got to ask you, Coach T, do you try that method one more time with the drop coverage? I mean, I know that's kind of the identity to an extent, but do you try that one more game? But do you immediately come out game two and say, we can't have this? They're going to have to. Rudy cannot come up. He's not swift of foot.

He can't get up there and trap the ball screen. There's no way he's going to get blown right by. So that's the coverage you got to play with Rudy. I think they're probably going to play Nas a little more and just start switching. Just keeping people in front of people so they can't get lobs, make them make contested shots. Even though we know Luka and Kyrie can, but shit, I live with a contested shot instead of open dunks and lobs all over the damn place. Hell yeah,

cuz I looked at Derrick Lively, he had three nice boys to the basket. He had a crazy URL too. I didn't know he had that in his bag like that. I had him fucked up. But between him and Gaff gafford like you said getting easy attempts like that when everybody else is out of rhythm then it's just points you can't afford to have yeah for sure but i mean they coverage work because they had the game one they had the game the fourth quarter what they was up eight yeah they had the game they just got to make a couple more shots and get a one or two more stops this day game look atuka went on that seven to run by himself.

I was like, oh, shit. Yeah, that's when you got to start throwing people at him, though. Yeah. You got to start, like, when he start, you got to throw somebody at him. You can't let him size people up, man. He's too good. Yeah. That nigga raw, bro.

He's raw. Yeah, he too good, bro. He start sizing you up. You at his will. It's over with. And he got the size advantage against him. Not too many people would have that advantage against him. And damn.

Because that's been what we had at the top of the key. I was just like, damn. He fat, really? BBL Lucas. That's the use your body. Yeah. He is that person. Boom.

He probably weigh 250, bro. 240, 250. Big dude your body. Yeah. He is that person. Boom. He probably weigh 250, bro. 240, 250. He big dude, man. Pause. Man, speaking of had the game. I know I was waiting for that lead up. I know. I heard you say it twice.

Cheryl Miller, Reggie Miller, Percy Miller, Celtics in four. None of those people playing for the Celtics by the way that's what I'm saying Celtics in four fuck the Pacers sweet you know what baby

you got us fucked up I ain't even supposed to be cussing like this I ain't gonna be on them sweep with this motherfucker see how them Pacers fans get I appreciate everybody

else who hit me up and say I see what you've been saying about Rick out of pocket, man. Not calling a timeout to advance the ball. Not planning to foul.

We blew that game terribly. You have to foul. When you're up three, you have to foul. I don't know why they didn't foul as soon as Jalen Brown caught the ball. And I don't know why Pascal didn't put his hand up. Man.

So my biggest thing about that play is maybe I could see that you didn't want to foul there, but still foul anyway because make him hit three free throws. If that's the case. I'm putting my hand up. You're going to contest the shot. That's a lot of pressure to make three free throws. And that's a hell of a fucking shot by Jalen Brown. Respect.

That's a tough shot. But like you said, to hit three free throws, you deserve a hell of a fucking shot by jaylen brown respect that's a that's a tough shot but like you said to hit three free throws you you deserve it if you hit all three of them but my thing is prior planning you didn't want to foul so there was no plan in place before the inbounds to say hey let's keep some keep them down here or away from here or have everybody out here and immediately get the ball and grab somebody below he didn't plan for that shit because he didn't want it to happen and look what happened yeah but you know you gotta use your basketball cue at that point, bro. Even if the coach don't tell you. If you feel that's the right thing to do, do it.

Do it, bro. I'm not blaming Rick for that game. Bro, that not advancing the timeout with the timeout, bro, to inbound better after he saw that we had a tough time getting the ball in. Yes, if we get the inbound in, the game is over. LeBron grabbing that clipboard, bro.

Let's be real. Tyrese really smoked that game. Tyrese's two turnovers was terrible. He smoked it again. He dribbling off his foot. Disgusting. I told you. When Drew started doing that shit.

When he had him on the left side of the court, I told you. Oh, my God. That left to right not going to work. He started doing that shit. I told you that shit get spooky. What you start doing that i should get spooky what you think hey you gonna see i ain't gonna start come on keep it keep it at the person i'm just telling you king we got plenty more recaps to go i ain't gonna lie watching the uh boston play i don't got the same. When I watch Dallas play, I watch fucking Mavericks play.

They got the same like energy intensity. Like I see it like it jumps off the screen. You like damn these motherfuckers won't win. I don't see it with Boston. They're my guys. I only know people on them teams on Boston. And I just be like, damn, like, and they offense is terrible to watch. with Boston. Them my guys. I only know people on them teams. On Boston. And I just be like, damn.

And their offense is terrible to watch. I ain't gonna lie. Man, listen. Jason Tatum was saved by that three. He hit the OT because if he would've based off of what he did

in that fourth quarter, they had the think pieces ready to hate on him because they've been waiting to hate on Jason Tatum. Oh, they can't wait. The clip was loaded. I saw a couple previews.

I said, oh, they are about to try to kill him. But, you know, we gave him the game anyway. But, listen, I don't know what the series is going to do. But after watching that game one, the way that they played, yeah, they're going to have to get Porzingis back. And Miles Turner showed his ass. Yeah. I don't think Miles is going to play that great every single game.

But if he can give us something like that, we got a chance for sure. Y'all got a chance. Y'all definitely going to beat them at home. I just don't like their offense. Man, it's too much isolation, bro. They ISO every single time. That ain't going to work. The Mavs got the two best ISO players in the league

besides Jalen Brunson, really. And they don't ISO that much. Damn, bro, y'all ISO every single time. Damn. And you know what? Plenty of kids driving to Brunson. Shout out to the Knicks.

Prepared us for the series. That's why this motherfucker wasn't sure. Oh, yeah. I found these at the... I found these at the... Somebody had a garage sale. They came up with some cigarettes. But that series prepared us for this because I was like,

damn, we get to play defense and don't get called for fouls every two seconds? This shit's amazing. It's crazy. You got the team to load up on them, though. Like, it ain't. The mismatches ain't that crazy. Like, JT just ain't killing them. Like, he had a rough game.

And he won't play that bad again. He won't play that bad again. That's a mismatch i expect for him to do mixed well i would hope at least but not hope but shit i'm expecting him to play better i mean yeah i mean he's great he's good enough to kill y'all but i don't know well shit when tyree shoot the ball we look like a totally different team because i mean outside them terrible turnovers he had he was killing yeah he gotta keep being aggressive for sure but you know my thing is they probably gonna to beat y'all game two.

For sure. Boston known for giving up game two. So, yeah, I might have a chance. That's why I think that we should have won game one because they've lost the last game two's last two series. I'm like, they probably going to give us that one. Game three, four at home, y'all going to smoke them. I like this energy.

Nah, I just know how y'all play at home. Y'all play. Our game style is rough. T at home TJ McConnell turning to Steve Nash For real He be killing everywhere though I ain't gonna lie I'm definitely getting a TJ McConnell jersey TJ Nash He be hooping bro

I swear to god he be hooping bro He is good bro I don't know how I be like damn how is he killing y'all like y'all know what he gonna do he's smart bro he going right he only taking two dribbles left to the midi or he going hard right to the midi like he don't dribble left with it he don't dribble this left hand at all nah he no left hand if it's in there it's together yeah he don't got no left hand drill like damn y'all still ain't figured this shit out?

He play hard. I'll tell you what I'm talking about. We got the real white boy, Peyton Pritchard. You don't want to see J. McConnell smoke. That's crazy, bro. Rick Ross boys. Come on, Al Horford. Forget these motherfuckers the fuck out of here. Oh, no, Al Horford, please stay on the court. My boys started off hot. They got a

real splash, bro. You see what happened the rest of the game, though. Oh, God, Christmas. They had him like, Rudy, they dropped the cover. We got them switches to say yes. Y'all was hitting tough threes. We were. Y'all was hitting tough threes.

I live with them, though. I don't know how often y'all going to hit them. Not in Boston. In Gainesbridge, we'll hit them. Oh, yeah. Nimhar do be making some big shots, too. Hey, listen, man. He's good to me. Andrew nimbard gives me a headache but i swear to god in the clutch i am not mad at andrew nimbard bro nah in the fourth quarter he good the rest of the game he asked like

no i'm being real like the first three quarters i'd be like yeah yeah then the fourth quarter i'd be like i yeah. Then the fourth quarter, I'd be like, I like him. He one of the best defenders to just be like, what the fuck he are, Koo. The first half, I'm like, Andrew, you play defense well. What the fuck are you doing right now? In the second half, I'd be like, my nigga. Yeah, he one of them. His first half is trash.

His first three quarters be rough. That fourth quarter, I believe in him. It don't matter what's going on He'll take that shot And I appreciate that Yeah in the fourth quarter I was like Damn he gonna hit that Every time he shoot I think he gonna hit

But On first three Man I had a parlay on him I don't know why For the first quarter he was gonna have six points What the fuck was I thinking He was wild Six points that's tough

I know he can hit two threes Just to put that in the first quarter It's crazy though bro It was like $10, win a thousand or something He was fucking off some trees I was going to say If that tempo I was like alright $10

Maybe hit a couple layups now You might get a fast break, hit a three, get fouled That's what folks be saying too It's only two threes I hate when people really believe that I'm like they play so fast break, hit a three, get fouled. That's what folks be saying, too. It's only two threes. It is. That's tough in the NBA game. I hate when people really believe that. I'm like, they play so fast, but he might get hot, hit his first three. But what's funny is, you think about this.

He's like, all right, six points for his quarter. And they be like, all right, go look for his entire line of the game. And it be like two and a half, under two and a half. Boys don't even be getting attempts like that. He be having six points for the game somebody cover the first quarter is crazy play so fast I'm like we do get two threes or a layup like a cherry pig layup foul some I see you a starter it just be funny when you see them options her stuff you bar he can hit this. And then when you look

at all the lines, it'd be like, damn, this is for the game. Then Rick subbed him out with like six minutes on the house. I was like, man, we came out in six minutes? TJ McConnell came running in. Did you see what happened? We started off 0-12. We needed to change the pace immediately. Damn, bro. I think Rick needs to do that

too. I think that his TJ minutes need to be layered better to end games because I don't like when we have a – like, I swear our bench be getting us the lead, keeping the lead, and pushing it at times. And then we get to the end of the game with the starters that didn't kind of really do that much by the side of maintaining. It's like, oh, so you're expecting them to do what they did?

Put TJ in the game sometimes to close the game because when we get stagnant, bro, we don't have too many people who can create, and we don't have too many people who really need to think with the ball in their hands. Yeah, TJ should be in the games. Because he can guard. He can defend. Yeah.

And he ain't scared of the moment. He'll get to that basket. He going right, right, and more right. He's going to get there, though. He need to be in the game. I'm a fan. For sure, man. But shouts out to Celtics.

They won that game. I think it's going to be a fire series. I think we're getting blessed both ways with the series in the West, though. He need to be in the game. I'm a fan. For sure, man. But shout out to the Celtics. They won that game. I think it's going to be a fire series. I think we're getting blessed both ways with the series in the West, too, because it's elite basketball right now. He had two games and went down to the wire one and went to OT. And shit. I feel like any way we get a combination of these finals is going to be good basketball.

And it's some fun teams to watch, though. I mean, like we said, the Celtics' offense is boring, but they got special players on their hands. So one of them can go for 40. Jay LeBron can go for 40 at any time. So you know you can see a special moment or whatever in a game. And then the Dallas and fucking Minnesota series is just one that we all want. Hell, yeah.

And what I think is dope about it is you got all the franchise players potentially winning their first ring yeah in fact so no matter what it's a win for everybody because we're seeing somebody

get crowned in that situation and that's gonna take the narrative in the next season because whoever get that chip this year that's gonna

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.

They said whoever win between Luka and AE, they the face of the NBA now. It really don't matter what the Celtics or Pacers do. That's a fact.

I would definitely heavily lean into that. Me too. Definitely lean into that. In so many different ways because if Dallas wins another championship, then I'm not going to call them small market, but it does help push the small market narrative. With on top of Luka being the face. AE wins wins then it's over because

now you got personality and charisma back into the nba it's the way they carry themselves and make them the face like i like y'all know i love jt that's my guy but he's so kobe bryant like that you can't you can't really get a gauge of him like you just be like damn he just does everything by the book and ae come with this flair talking shit he don't give a damn he want to guard everybody he want to play against the best he ain't talking he don't say none of that normal shit like you know i'm just happy to be here like now i'm supposed to be here and i'm better than all of them yeah and you like i'll fuck with that how the fuck and then luca he do the other shit. Like, you know, I'm just good, man.

Like, I don't know. He just do the fake humble shit. Then he get on the court and he talk mad shit. And he like, they sad and he start speaking in his native language, whatever that is. And he start going crazy on them. Like, I just fuck with the new generation, man. I'm two dudes. Do it right.

Nah, bro. Don't get to talk to me in your native tongue, bro. We hooping, bro. Talk to me in English, bro. Kobe used to do it. Shit crazy. But you remember, like, you couldn't, R.I.P. Bean, but you couldn't like Kobe when he was in the NBA.

You just couldn't relate. You never knew. I was not a fan. I was like, he like a robot, bro. Yeah, because you want him to have a little bit more personality. Well, I think this shift came after his later his career you know i'm saying after the black mama stuff i think that kind of changed the narrative with kobe and even then people didn't like kobe as much as they say

we became more enamored with kobe post career towards the end because we got to see his personality we got to see what his teammates said about him but at that time period you just saw an asshole who was really good at basketball yeah and you had to be a Laker fan or a real real Kobe fan to really respect that yeah I didn't really fuck with that but Kobe was great you respected the work ethic for sure if you wanted to you wanted to lock in like that but you wanted somebody you could really relate to like Anthony Edwards is whether he win or not to me Is the face of the NBA Anthony like Brian before

So people started Criticizing Brian You remember how Brian They used to take pictures Before the game Doing all them poses and shit And he had the Cavs turn That's kind of how

AE got the Minnesota turn Like Cleveland A small market Nobody really wanted to go to Cleveland But When they was on TV They was turned

He had Mo Williams turnt. Yeah, bro. And that's kind of how he got them. He got Jay McDaniels. He got Cat, bro, looking cool in some instances.

Bro, he got people that are very undesirable amongst NBA media looking like you got to respect it if you don't like them. Even Draymond, hey, Rudy,

and he still be trying to, he be hiding the love in there. But even he got acknowledged at times. Yeah. That's a different level of respect. Yeah, he. He really, that's what I said. If he don't be 22, bro, he different, bro.

He different. Yeah, you could follow. I wouldn't mind if my kids, like, looked up to him. I know he wilding, but, like, you could be like him. Like, if you he wilding, but like, you can be like him. Like, if you talk crazy like him, it's like a respectful talk crazy. Like, I rock with it. Yeah. For sure.

Now, I got to ask you a couple things before we get out of here. Obviously, we've seen the all NBA list came out. Shout out to everybody who went from that 25% max to that 30% max. Yeah. Good money. Jalen Brunson being second team on nba had people frustrated and i don't understand why um you look at that first team who they had with sga luca um jason tatum yannis and joker yeah i don't think he beat anybody out this year on that and i think he had

an amazing season i think jalen brussels is one of the ones in the NBA. He didn't. I think LeBron should have made second team over Kawhi, though. I don't understand that at all. Yeah, I don't know how Kawhi made it. Yeah, I don't know why Kawhi even made it. I mean, I know the Clippers had a good season, and they definitely had a stretch. They was going crazy.

But, I mean, if he would have been on third team, that would have been fine, too. But there was no – they put the side-by-side up with LeBron. There was no reason for him to be up there. That's disrespectful, bro. Yeah, I don't get that at all. That would have been fine too But there was no They put the side by side Up with LeBron There was no reason For him to be up there That was disrespectful bro Yeah Yeah that's

I don't get that at all Devin Booker had a hell of a season But I don't see why He made it over Jalen Brown I don't either I don't like that either Yeah And that's not

Obviously everybody had A great season to be considered All NBA but I think for Jalen Brown To play as well as he played This year to be on the Number one team in the NBA He should have been on

All NBA team For sure Definitely He carried a lot No for sure Yeah play as well as he played this year to be on the number one team in the NBA. He should have been on an all-NBA team. Definitely. He carried a lot. No, for sure. Yeah. He did a lot of work this year that people may not acknowledge.

Yeah. Because I don't like it because for y'all to slight JT the way y'all slight him, then you have to acknowledge somebody else. You can't just slight JT and just say, no, but the team be winning. Nah, Jalen Brown be killing it if you're going to say JT. Nah, bro, he be killing it. That's what I'm saying, bro. You can't have it both ways, bro. You can't slay it or not acknowledge a nigga either. Nah, Jalen Brown be killing it if you're going to say JT A.D. That's what I'm saying, bro. You can't have it both ways,

bro. You can't slay it or not acknowledge it, nigga, either. Nah, Jalen Brown, he wouldn't have known. He should have been on them all NBA teams for sure. I see Tyrese Maxey. I just think it's tough because Steph killed the shit too, even though they wouldn't. I would have picked Tyrese Maxey over Steph. Just because their team was better. I don't disagree.

And he carried And B was out And B was out And I ain't no disrespect to Steph He the greatest all the time But he ain't really had nobody out No he didn't bro That roster wasn't the best

Drake mom was Drake mom missed a couple weeks They still had He had to go to summer camp They still had Klay They still had the majority of their team And B is the Sixers That's their team

And Tyrese Maxey Kept him afloat And he murdered this year Murder Damn that's crazy Alright man Listen A lot of great basketball
