Starting point is 00:05:20 why that's even really a question unless your team can't hit free throws at all why are you not fouling up three yeah he was supposed to foul I don't understand why that's even really a question. Like, unless your team can't hit free throws at all, why are you not fouling a three? Yeah, he was supposed to.
Starting point is 00:05:28 He was supposed to foul. That's just smart. That's my best turn. He was supposed to foul. He got hung up. Yeah, on the second screen. Yeah, he was supposed to foul. He was supposed to foul. But just the fact that we just didn't was crazy to me.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I'm like, why is that not a thought? I think that, I don't understand how that doesn't happen more often. Yeah. And Chris Milton played the best game I've ever seen him play in his life. That nigga's cold.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I'm never disrespecting. I know he'd fuck around and be a Hall of Famer. Bro, Chris Milton did not have to go Super Saiyan on us like that. I've seen him play better. Played Atlanta,
Starting point is 00:06:00 Game 6. Before he went to win the championship, he killed Game 6. He did. He closed that shit out. He was going crazy. That's the game you was hooping in too, right?

Starting point is 00:06:39 Bucks and seven, man. Real ticket. And your practice jersey Bucs in seven hey man shout out to the Bucs man I think next year we probably see Giannis there

Starting point is 00:07:14 I think it's a race of time. I think it's a race of time between him and Donovan. Who get there first. Yeah, they in a race. They definitely in a race to get there. Orlando ain't going to make it. Hey, Orlando. My boy's playing all right. They definitely in a race to get there. But Orlando ain't going to make it. Hey, Orlando. My boy's playing all right.
Starting point is 00:07:27 He ain't found out something. That's why I said it's a race. It's who going to lose first. Dame and them. They going back to court. From the looks of it, it look like Dame and them
Starting point is 00:07:36 going to lose first. For sure. But do you think, I don't know, man. I like Orlando and I think they done figured out what they need to figure out. Last year,
Starting point is 00:07:43 Cleveland had the lowest rate of offense in the playoffs and now they're getting right back there and I think they done figured out what they need to figure out. Last year, Cleveland had the lowest rate of offense in the playoffs, and now they're getting right back there. I think that backcourt don't work. That frontcourt, backcourt, none of it works. It's too many people. They got two, three bigs. I don't know what they doing.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Jared Allen, Mobley, then they play random people. I don't know. I don't like they set up. But I feel like they got talented players, but like you said, they don't have like a fucking team. Nah. Like, they're just garland nice. Donovan Mitchell, obviously, them both of them are nice,
Starting point is 00:08:13 but they don't complement each other well, I guess you would say. Nah, not at all. Evan Mobley need to go to a better team. I wouldn't mind seeing Bradley Bill with Cleveland. Like, trade Donovan Mitchell and then they go get
Starting point is 00:08:29 Bradley Bill. So you want the Phoenix to trade another, for another two guard? Nah, I'm saying like a three team trade. Oh, okay. Phoenix need to get
Starting point is 00:08:39 a point guard. Phoenix, please get well soon. Yeah. Phoenix need to get a point guard. That shit is crazy, soon. Yeah. Phoenix need to get a point guard. That shit is crazy, bro. And another big
Starting point is 00:08:48 wing defender. Like, like a 6'8", 6'9", wing defender. You know what's crazy? They traded all their assets and all the assets
Starting point is 00:08:58 that they're looking for is something that they already had beforehand. I think they got too greedy. Yeah. Like, I understand getting KD. It's Kevin Durant.
Starting point is 00:09:06 You got to make that trade. But you look at what they gave up from that championship roster outside of CP till now. It's like, everything y'all wanted, y'all already had. Yeah, they had. They needed Mikel, Bridges, and Cam. Come on, man. Johnson, they need them.
Starting point is 00:09:18 They need one of them back. And a point guard. Yeah. But they have all their money tied up into three shooting guards. Facts. Yeah, losing Mike Hill hurt them for sure. It was a bad put-together team. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Because they thought Book could play point. Book could score, man. And he needs somebody to set him up. He don't need that responsibility of trying to get other people involved. That's why Mike Hill fit that team perfectly. Yeah, and especially when you look at
Starting point is 00:09:48 Buck's best season since Carissa Ware has been with Chris Paul. Yeah. Like, he obviously benefits from having a good guard with him. They would be a
Starting point is 00:09:58 totally different team with a point guard. For sure. For sure. Him and Bill, the same player. For sure. Bradley had a...
Starting point is 00:10:05 Brad looked like a shell himself right now. Because he's just not in his element. Like, Brad cold. Average 30. Now to come there and be the third option and trying to figure it out. It just ain't... It ain't a good fit for Brad. And they playing against a team.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Yeah. They playing against a fucking team. Yeah. They playing against a fucking team. Yeah. Because Minnesota not bullshitting. Nah, they legit. Anthony Edwards doing the DX is the funniest shit ever. Everybody's like, he the face of the league. The allegations is gone.

Starting point is 00:14:10 but it's a big difference with what Kobe White did. Yeah. Because I thought Kobe White was... It was questions. Yeah, but now he didn't prove people wrong, but he's nice. That's another team that's housing players that should be on other teams. Zach Levine shouldn't be a bull.
Starting point is 00:14:22 He won't be. And he definitely won't be. And DeMar DeRozan deserves not to be a bull either. I mean. Put my dog back on a good team, man. Just pay him, man. He won't pay the dog and trade him. Damn. That's how I feel.

Starting point is 00:14:56 Yeah, I think it's—they throw their rhythm off, man, because there's so many—James ain't that aggressive when Kawhi play. But going forward, if they win this series, they're going to need Kawhi play but going forward if they win this series they gonna need Kawhi against whoever the hell they gonna play who they gonna play

Starting point is 00:23:12 the real question is, we used to have a debate about Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Halliburton. It's Jalen Brunson. It's not even a debate no more. Why? Because he almost had 50 and 10
Starting point is 00:23:26 Come on bro He is different bro He leading the Knicks bro He is leading the Knicks Nigga they about to beat Philly The MVP Niggas is playing on Philly too On Philly till they healthy DJ
Starting point is 00:23:39 Tyrese He going against Tyrese Maxey Yeah Getting 50 10 And he got the Knicks up 3-1. Y'all going against the Knicks on minimum.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Respect, though. Get y'all wins, King. First of all, we're going to be respectful because Tyrese had a nasty triple-double. 18-16. They lose the game of Dame
Starting point is 00:23:59 on strain as Achilles. Bobby Portis get kicked out. That's Bobby. Bobby, come on. Not in the clutch, bro. Don't do that. Yeah, that was... Hey, listen.

Starting point is 00:24:19 before they could sock you out. I don't even want to say any Spanish, though. I just want to make sure. He changed ethnicity after that motherfucker hate maker. When he go Indian. I don't even want to say any Spanish, though. I just want to make sure. He changed that from this. He's after that motherfucking haymaker.

Starting point is 00:24:43 Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Halliburton. What y'all doing? I think that Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Halliburton. What y'all doing? I think that Jalen Brunson is obviously a much better scorer than Tyrese. But I feel like from a standpoint of how
Starting point is 00:24:52 they fucking adjust with the game or how they dictate the game, I'm still going with Tyrese. Because that's the next matchup, right? I think so. I think, no,
Starting point is 00:24:59 because I think, yeah, that's how it should be. We should be playing the Knicks. Yeah, play the Knicks because y'all win. Because everybody hurt for Milwaukee. The Knicks versus. I heard your little preface.
Starting point is 00:25:09 We beat them already in regular season with both of them. I didn't want to win this way. But, sorry. This had to happen. Knicks versus Pacers. I got Jalen Brunson cooking, y'all. Facts. Because we already see Tyrese Halliburton hedging on motherfucking Dane.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Oh, well, he's definitely not guarding Jalen Brunson. No, no, Jalen Brunson. Nim Har can't guard him. Jalen Brunson got too much shit. No, he can't. And he shoot 30.
Starting point is 00:25:35 He getting 30 attempts up. He don't give a fuck. Hey, him getting what? That on... How many shots did he have? 34? 48 on 34? It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Kelly Oubre was hating him for that, though, for saying that. You can't say it when he was killing you. That's hate. Fuck it. But I feel him, though. Like, nigga, you should score 48 if you shoot 34 times. See, hey, when Kobe said it, it's all cool.
Starting point is 00:25:55 But when everybody else do it, it's a problem. Yeah. Fuck it. He got 48. I can't get mad however he got it. But we played him in the regular season, and we handled him just fine. They don't put no fear in my heart. They should.
Starting point is 00:26:07 They're going to cancel each other out. And they tougher than y'all. I mean, maybe. OG. You see OG guard motherfucking Joel Embiid today? He don't give a fuck. You think he going to lock Pascal's shit up? You think he going to lock Joel Embiid up?
