It's my two esteemed co-hosts. Shout out to the PIX dish yesterday. Y'all work fast as hell. Got my dog Bishop Hinders to my left, my brother Tiggs to my right. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing, man? Chillin, bro, what's happening?

Yeah, man, heard y'all was a little bit busy after work yesterday, little extracurricular activities. Yeah, man. I was cool and nasty, y'all was getting to it. You know, shout out to Lethal. It was what it was. Get well soon, we'll say that for the podcast. We'll show, listen, man, a lot of things happen.

First things first, man, you know what? What today is, December 4th, man? Yeah. Go B-Day. Turn up, dog, Keenan birthday. happen. First things first, man, you know what? What today is, it's December 4th, man. Go B-Day. Turn up. It's my dog, Kenan's birthday. Shout out to Kenan, man. Happy B-Day. It's my mama's B-Day too.

Shout out, baby girl. Shout out to mama. Shout out to the lineage, for sure. Hey, Kenan getting a shot before home when this show is crazy, but that's the homie for sure. So you can't do no more 2K slender on my boy for at least a week, man. Nah, y'all can give him a couple days, for sure.

For sure, man. A lot of action happened yesterday in the association, man. The Knicks took care of the Magic yesterday, 121-106. Listen, we were talking about this team, you know what I'm saying, finally get some continuity. It took care of one of the hottest teams yesterday in the league, had 23-15. JB had 21-4, France still killing as usual with 30.

How y'all feel about that game yesterday, man? They got smacked yesterday. I watched today was being asked the whole game, though. Killing. So it wasn't no. The score, the final smacked yesterday. I watched the day was being ass the whole game, though. Killing them. So it wasn't no. The final score looks way closer to what the game was. No, that's a fact.

It was up by them, they're 40 at one point. Almost, for sure. Yeah, it was close. I remember, listen, I was just looking through some of the stuff and I seen Cat whip a pass on the top of the keys to the corner. Mike Edwards was spinning around. The weakest pass.

That was the weakest and one pass. Cat out of pocket. That was the sickest pass I ever seen. Well, Kat get a pass because he cold. He can do shit like that. He made a regular pass and then did a spin move afterwards. That's how Brian. I was crying, bro.

That's how Brian used to do it. No look passes. He used to look at you and then throw. Hey, Kat shit look crazy though, bro. He had the top of the key, too. He had a ballerina spin. I said, man, sub this nigga out the game. Michael Bridges is like, all right.

Can't have him fun, man. Nah, for sure. Man, listen, we talk about the team needed a job. It looks like they getting it going right now. Are they a contender in the East, at least? It'll start there. Yeah, I mean, yeah, they get it going. Okay.

Yeah, they good. They a good team. They struggled at the beginning of the year. Mike L. Bridges kind of found his shot a little bit. OG was struggling. He got back going last night. It was what, 0-4-15. It was two previous games from three or whatever.

Three previous games. But to catch a strike yesterday, making some shots in Jalen Brunson being good all year. But they definitely got a nice groove going right now. You can tell that they playing with a lot of energy and they starting to trust one another. But that still leaves them as the second best team in the East, probably.

That's the crazy part about it is, you can be as good as you want to be, but you still gotta go deal with them boys up in Boston for sure, man. I don't even, honestly, yeah, they might be too. Cause I really like Milwaukee. I do too. Even though we discrediting the Cavs right now,

it's just something about the Cavs. I like the Cavs. I like Donovan Mitchell. I like what they got going on. For some reason I just trust the Knicks a little more. I trust they two dogs more than I trust. Cleveland's two dogs. You know what's crazy is, and we've seen this before a lot of times in NBA, we have teams have a crazy

regular season, but then when it gets to the playoffs and you gotta go mono, mono, especially a seven game series, ain't no other teams you playing in between, it can get wicked, but listen, we talked about statistically, is this cat's best season so far? Ah, for sure. Man. For sure. He ballin' this year.

He went to New York, we thought there was gonna be a lot of pressure on him. You know what I mean? We like damn, Kat, you know, he be having up and down moments, you know. Sometimes he don't handle pressure that well, I guess you could say, but he stepped up to the plate 20 and 30, 25 and 13.

Elite numbers. H. Low key. Low key. I know what he was gonna say. Low key, low key. I know what he was gonna say. Low key. I know what this nigga been saying. I hear you, let's hear it.

Low key, he needed to start getting creepin' in that conversation, bruh. Low, low. How you doin'? He bottom seven, but he rising. You need to talk about that MVP conversation a little bit. Like, you know what's crazy too? He's getting these numbers while playing with other people

who get their numbers as well. Cause Jalen Brunson gonna get his numbers regardless. And he's kind of taking a back seat to an extent as far as what he's doing from a production standpoint, even though he's still killing to make sure everybody else eating they have a good flow of the game. But man, listen, he getting these numbers on that team, that's elite as well, man.

You gotta respect that. Facts. No, that was a good team win for them yesterday. All of them was out there having fun. Mikel was just pulling up like open gym out there. So he looked comfortable shooting the ball. That was a dope win for them being a good team like the Magic.

For sure. And listen, we've been saying this. They still doing this without their best player. I know it's, you know, it's the NBA Cup, but they still qualified with this loss, which is crazy. They knocked Boston out of this. They're not supposed to be in this room at all. Soon as, I keep calling my boy Pablo.

Soon as Pablo went down, even I thought it was gonna be hard for them to shake after that. So they been holding the shit down. They definitely been playing well. But I gotta ask y'all a question. Where do you rank Brunson and Kat now as a duo? Where are they now? Because they both averaging 25 points a game.

Brunson seven to six, Kat 13 rebounds. This duo you call AE and JR, Shaq and Kobe. What did you call these two? Shit. Oh, that's a much better combo. The Stead brothers. What was them two motherfuckers' names? Who the hell?

Which one's Brandon, which one's Dill? That's the better question. Dill is Jalen Bronson. For sure. That was his trap. He didn't even write up in it. Nah, but on some real shit, that's a good question, bro. They in the top five duos. They in the top five duos.

They in the top five duos. I don't like them better than Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum. I don't like them better than Yannis and Dane. What about Luca and Kyrie? Don't like them better than them. I do like them better than JR, than Anthony Edwards for sure. So they probably have the four or five for me. I know this might be out of pocket statement,

but today, this season, is it better than LeBron or AD? Nah. Nah. You know what's so crazy? I feel like if the Lakers was in the East and they played the Knicks, I feel like the Lakers would beat the Knicks in a series. I ain't mad at that. That ain't a crazy take at all. The Lakers would beat the Knicks in a series. I ain't mad at that.

That ain't a crazy take at all. The Lakers would be a top team in the East. Yeah, I think they would beat the Knicks in a series if they was out East. I don't like them better. AD, Lebron is not Lebron, of course, from three, four years ago, but I don't know. I just think he gon' click.

If he get in the playoffs, I trust him. I trust him at AD more than Jalen Brownstern. You like Bam? You like Bam and Jimmy more than you like Kat and JB? Nah, cause Kat is just way better than both of them. Ooh, way better? Kat's way better than the Jimmy brother and Bam. KD and Book? No, I'm sweet.

So where KD and Book rank? That's their four. They go in on four. That make Jalen Breslin and them, my vote for five. Okay. For the shifts of a conversation, I'm gonna go with Bam and Jimmy

just because I've seen them click in the playoffs and get there. Obviously this is a new situation, they got a chance to show themselves yet, but I've seen them produce in the playoffs. Now they didn't get the chip, but I've seen them run in the playoffs and get there. Obviously this is a new situation, they ain't got a chance to show themselves yet, but I've seen them produce in the playoffs. Now they didn't get the chip, but I've seen them run through the east with it. Nah, yeah, nah.

And then Belman, look, Belman's a dog. I ain't, I'm not doing a comparison like niggas are sad. I just think Cat is just a way better basketball player than him. That's just my take on this shit, though. Respect. For sure. Like they talk about with the Magic still losing,

they still solidify a spot in the end season tournament knocking out the Celtics and a lot of people like, dang, we don't see the best team in the league in this tournament. But I think that's the best part about it. Some of these teams that don't get the shine. I may not have the playoff success, get to go get that shit off in a real basketball environment. It's not saying the regular season ain't,

but you know, them pressure situations hit different for sure. Yeah, that's how the Pacers got their start last year. They got in the end season, end season tournament, made a run and it carried Pacers got their start last year. They got in the NCs and turned it and made a run. And it carried over throughout the rest of the year. Yeah, it did carry over this year. Yeah, Omino was a motherfucker. That's yours.

I mean, y'all are the ninth seed in the East right now. Y'all playing at a high level. Y'all playing at a high level. We're trying to keep shit solid. We're not sitting off my morning with this negativity. I watched that game last night with the Rattlers. You didn't have to say that. Y'all down to 13, y'all didn't get Deft to back

and run for it. That's what we on today? No. We didn't even have to say that about this. We did not bring the pace up on a block of any show. Definitely not this one, man. Give us some of my faces, man. That was wicked, man. Good game for sure.

The Nuggets came back, got straight against the Warriors, 119 and 115. And the game on the 10-0 run, championship pedigree from both sides. Yokes 38 and 10 and six. It's a joke, why you haven't played basketball? It really is, bro. Like when you, after the game is over

and you look at his stat line, you be like, man, what in the hell? Like, it's a joke at this point, man. It just seemed, I ain't gonna say it's too easy, but it just seemed so, he's so good to look effortless and it pisses everybody else off and I love to see it. Cause they be trying to hardest to deal with him. He just be like, move, excuse me.

And he just gets up the course so slow, bro. You have to really play at his pace, bro. People never, it's crazy cause they play fast, but he's so slow. Yeah. But people never gonna say like, he's one of the greatest centers ever, but like they won't mention him.

Like they gonna say, I think Elijah Wong, Shaq, Will, all these people, but he right there. His numbers be just as dominant as theirs. Besides Will. Yeah, you're gonna say. And also, yeah, we gotta see the video. We don't believe the 100 point shit.

Listen, look what he averaged. That's crazy, bro. 30, 13, and 10. No offense, Shaq the most dominant center ever. I've never seen those numbers. Shaq has never averaged in double digit assists. Never. Never. That's what I mean.

And Shaq, we not disrespecting it. Like you said, the most dominant player ever. Yeah, most dominant player ever. For some of them old centers that y'all be glorifying, Yoko is just better than a lot of them. Let's be real. Yeah, we're gonna say, Freaky Mike almost put us in a rabbit hole.

This man pulled up the Boston numbers of Shaq. Yeah. And Shaq got the same numbers in Boston. That's crazy. Shaq was doing my numbers in Boston. Freaky Mike pulling up Boston Shaq. Hey, that's a hell of a way to hit your man. We talking about the most dominant niggas ever.

He throwing shots, Shaq. He was in his last. Yeah, Shaq got the same numbers as Boston, damn. Oh, that's crazy. I just, yeah. I put Shaq career at 23, 10. Go to his best year. What was that ZVP year?

While we point this out, who was y'all favorite version of Shaq, Orlando or LA? LA, cause niggas was scared of Shaq. Oh yeah, he was too. He was crazy. But I liked Shaq when he was in, I feel like he could've played like Jokic when he was in Orlando.

He was moving a lot better. Yeah. He could get up a floor, run. He was in Orlando. He was moving a lot better. He could get up a floor and run. He was a freak. He still, I mean. He didn't move down the fairway. Oh boy, Jokic with that fucking Orlando team with all them shooters? Jokic and Penny would've been crazy.

Jokic and Penny would've been crazy. Jokic and Kobe with Robert Ori and all them niggas shooting the pill, Rick Fox now. Oh, you put Jokic training like your team, bro. It's not fair, bro. Everybody average them their 15, 16 assists a game, bro. Oh, God. D. Fish would've went back to the headband

and spoken with Yoke. Yeah, the fact that D. Fish really didn't average assists like that as a point guard really still pisses me off today. They ran a triangle, bro. I thought he was about to say so, though. No, they ran a triangle. They ran no suit. That offense ain't really meant for a point guard

to get assists in the triangle. I mean, I get it, bro. It's just like, damn. Like, when you're just an average person watching basketball and just knowing this thing only average three assists, and he is the starting point guard in the NBA. And fucking- These bitch gonna get at us for a day.

Terrell Brandon is out there averaging 13 assists. Killer. That's crazy. So his best is Shaq MVP or whoever. And this will make the game a little different. He was on a run, boy. The Oscar's like, he went full of his shit for a long time. 29, 29, go back up.

Shaq playoff statistics are retarded, bro. Yeah, we dumb. And that's the thing about D-Fish too, for as much as his stats, he lackluster. He got some crazy NBA moments. 29, 29, 26, 26, 28, 26, 29, 28, 27, 27, 21, 22. Shaq went on a nice run. Now go to Yoke run.

Yoke a lot younger. Yeah, Yoke did a lot and he just 29. Shaq had a run. And he got the nuggets of chip. And that's not to disrespect the Denver, but he got the nuggets of chip. And to make it different though, in the era they used to come down

and throw Shaq the ball every time. Granted he did play with Kobe Bryant too, so. Yeah. It could have been a little different. But Yoke's run ain't too far off. Yoke's on a six year run. A hell of a run, historic run. Yeah, it ain't Shaq run.

It ain't, but he on a six year run. Like you said, it's a lot of people that we glorify, especially those older seniors that we talk a lot about, they're not fucking with Yoke at all. Him averaging nine and six for the last three years is crazy. But him averaging, 2018, 2019, 30, 10, seven. He might be the greatest passing big man ever.

I used to give it to like motherfuckers like Vladi Devon Canel, but I don't know. Even Bixx a bonus? Yeah, it might be Yokes, bro. Oh yeah, I mean, I'm just, and Vladi, you know what I'm saying, definitely could pass that rock, but I'm going Yoke for sure. He averaged 10 assists right now, that's crazy.

Yeah, I ain't never seen nothing like that. They got him, they got Will Chamberlain, the best passing center, I'm asleep. Don't know why this is crazy though. He did. Why is Patrick Ewing the best passing center? He did play for the Harlem Globetrotters. Yeah, that's kinda.

Bill Walby up there is crazy. Hakeem Olajuwon, I forgot, my father Hakeem. Nah, Dream is top five. You taking, Yogi's your. Hakeem Olajuwon, I forgot, my father Hakeem. Nah, Dream is my father. You taking, you taking, Yoke is your dream? A dream. Dream. You taking Yoke, man. I ain't mad at that.

I'm out of pocket, but I'm taking Yoke, bro. I can't do that, bro. I'm looking at the other people on that list, and I'm like, yeah, damn, no problems with Yoke. I'm taking Yoke. Hakeem killed in a big man error. The Embers NBA Cup is here and you can win big. Getting in on the action at DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the NBA.

Brought to you by Hypnotic. This ain't a big man area. I'm not taking that away from Yolkers, but it's... But you know what, and we'll get off this topic, but when they say big man area, bro, some of the people they're talking about, like, and that's the diminished, some of these people obviously are half famous, like Alonzo Mourning, Pat Ewing.

But they don't want no Smokey Yolk, like, at all. I understand that. Pat Ewing was crazy. I'm taking Yolkers, Pat Ewing, bro they don't want no smoke with Yoke. Like at all. I understand that DJ. Pat Ewing was crazy. I'm taking Yokey's over Pat Ewing all day. Yeah hold on. Yeah I'm on that. I'm taking Yokey's over Pat Ewing all day. You're not just trying to do no club 520 shit y'all.

All day. DJ that's disrespectful bro. Christmas, put a bow on him, he's not holding Yoke. I ain't gonna say that. The Charlie Hornets, Alonzo Mourning bro, them niggas was hoopers bro. Yeah bro. It's these 2010 niggas, bro.

For sure, I'm not disrespecting. We talking about- What you talking about, like the big, you discredited in the big man era. Yeah, he played 85 years. Kareem played for 27 years. Yeah, I mean, he the best- Nah, yeah, for sure. I'll stand on that, and that's no disrespect, obviously they all got good- I'm like, you might be in the post-1990s. Yeah, I mean, he the best-passing.

I'll stand on that, and that's no disrespect. Obviously they all got good- It is, bro, the 90s bigs. Overrated. Nah, but he is playing against, I know disrespect to Yoke, but he ain't playing in the beginning of his. No disrespect to Draymond Green, but Draymond Green, 6'6".

Come on, y'all. Guardingovich. There ain't no way in hell Dre my green guard Shaq. I'm just keeping it real. Luke averaged 23 rebounds. Let's stop talking about it. Luke Chamberlain ain't real. He ain't a real person.

Nah, he not. He averaged 23 rebounds and hit a thousand, 20,000 women. That's not real. Yeah, that's not real. That's not even a human. He went and he rebounded off the court, straight buckets, no put backs. I don't even know.

I don't even think I shook 20,000 people hand in my life. Bro, show the video, bro. All this, we need a video of that game, bro. All the allegations? Yeah, bro. No, but I'm not gonna disrespect that big man era like DJ. The 90s was serious, bro. They were, bro.

And if you play- David Robinson, special, bro. Elite, bro, 70 piece. Like, Sabonis Daddy, special, bro. Harib Sabonis, elite. Rashid Wallace, special, bro. Sean Kemp, special, bro. The only thing I'm saying the difference with the big man era, they used to get the ball.

Now all the players was ran to get the big man a ball. You know what I'm saying? He playing with APJ, who don't get no assist. They play inside out. They play inside out. Now it's outside and for him to be the best player in the league as a big man in a guard era, that's kind of, that's different.

Shout out to Yoke man. Steph came back yesterday, 24 and 11. Warriors are dropped five in a row. Is it time to be concerned, Ben? I know you wasn't too sold on him, but they're gonna do a little stinker right now. Let's take a picture of yourself. For you.

This is y'all boys. This is y'all niggas. This is y'all friends. Y'all niggas. Don't be trying to have me slay that. You hear what he said? I know he ain't locked in. Y'all was chopping up for two hours.

Nah, as a team, I don't fuck with the Warriors. They found my nigga forever. Shout out to Lil Trace though. You're a part of, you know what I mean, the team family. But I don't know the rest of you dudes. And y'all traded my nigga out of there, so. They didn't have a choice. Nah, speak on y'all Warriors.

Y'all be on me when they win, and they, you know what I mean, I'm hating to speak on them'all warriors. Y'all be on me when they win and they, you know what I mean, I'm hating, speak on them. What they doing? Hey, you having a rough patch? Buddy Hill got come back to life. Good luck. He'll be back by All-Star Break for sure.

Listen man, ups and downs, we didn't have too many expectations for this team. Everybody was playing out of their minds earlier this season. I would say it was Steve Kershaw, he had to load the team, but I mean, he has his flows. Five-Gate losing streak is crazy, but it's still enough for the season for them to recover, bro, and it was without Steph,

some of those losses too, so I ain't gonna put too much into it, but you know how it goes with them. They got a championship, they can figure it out. Another comeback yesterday, the Mavs came back down for 15 yesterday. And Drey Mom was out last night too. Yeah. And they smoked that game yesterday too.

But another comeback yesterday, Mavs came back 121-116 against the Grizzlies, man. Luka, 37-12. That was a tough comeback. I was watching that game. And for them to come back like they did, that run they went on in the last three minutes. Come on, bro.

Shout out to Spencer Denwood. Ever since that day, we talked about him stepping up. He been hooping. Since Luka was out, now he been hooping. He didn't earn his stripes back, because LA had him messed up last year. Yeah, they was trying to make him seem like he was. Yeah, trying to make him seem like he been hooping. He didn't earn his stripes back, because LA had him messed up last year. Yeah, they was trying to make him seem like he was there. Yeah, trying to make him seem like he was done for.

And that's all it is, man. People can just kind of stay out of LA, bro. For real, bro. I said it last year before he picked between the, he was picking between the Mavs and LA. I was like, bro, go to the Mavs, you had success there. I ain't say it to him, but that's what I was thinking. And for him to go back to the Mavs this year,

and now he's figuring it out, finding his footing again, I'm hyped for him. For sure man, job went crazy yesterday, 31 to four, doesn't bane, 19 to three as well. Mavs not in the last 10. They catching them stride man, that's a team that we liked last year for sure. Yeah, PJ, getting PJ back from injury,

Spencer Dibby playing at a high level, Luca coming back, they're about to start catching their stride for sure. And PJ was all yesterday too, 18, eight and seven, solid numbers for sure. Listen man, we talked about that team being the very dangerous team, they can get back to it. That's not a team I want to deal with.

Having to beat Kyrie and Luca in the series is very, very tough. I told you, I think they can make some noise. I wouldn't be surprised if they won it. See the thing about they team, they got so many capable players that can have moments. Clay really, they fell off a little bit, but he can have a moment.

Yeah. Spencer Dibb would have been having moments. We know Luca can do it, we know what Kyle can do. But PJ Washington played great last year, and now he's starting to get into that form. We all love Derrick Lively, so they got a chance, you right. For them to have one nine out of the 10 and Clay ain't doing the mother fucker thing.

And also, Luca wasn't there. He just came back last two games. He was gone for a majority of them games too, so. Yeah. How he held the shit down. It's crazy how Luca and just, yo, cause you get to move like that in the NBA. Told you, bro. And you kind of don't, when you see players,

like I say African-American players and niggas slow, you like, bro, you too slow. You can't make it in the league. Yeah, oh God. The scouts see you like, bro, we can't have no fat point guard, bro. This nigga killin' in college, I get it, but bro, you gonna be sad in the league.

He gets to that call, man. They get to see how lazy and trash he is. Yeah, bro. And that Luca. Being out of shape killers, nigga, in the league is scarce, bro. You definitely gotta be foreign to be out of shape, bro. And they like, it'll be a hoopers. And they like the best in the league.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Smoked cigarettes, I know they smoke cigarettes. That's what I'm saying, like how they treated, uh, they gave him a shot. What's the big dude? Oh my God, man, he was on the Grizzlies last year. Y'all know I'm bad smoke cigarettes. That's what I'm saying, like how they treated, they gave him a shot, what's the big dude? Oh my God, man, he was on the Grizzlies last year. Y'all know I'm bad with names. Lofton? Lofton.

Yeah. Like he just, it just don't seem like he fit in the league. He killed in college. But he can hoop though, that's the crazy point. He really can hoop. He can, but I'm saying his shot is hard in the league. You know what I'm saying? He got a, he got different struggles for Nick

than Luca and Y'all. That's a great point, cause they do be like, man, he's too out of shape. He gotta lose some weight. And you're not even tall enough either. So you fat and short. But you got 30 and 50 in the G league. What you call him, stubby? Yeah, bro, you built like me.

So your journey's a little bit. That is your NBA comparison. Kenny Lawson. Kenny Lawson? Under the record, bro. The last out of shape. I thought that was King. The last out of shape nigga to be a killer in the NBA, bro.

And I say, I love Zack, but it was Zack Randolph. Him and Marc Gasol, bro, for real. Z-Bo was real weird. Yeah. We talk about that way so it's a thing. He was built like a doughboy. No, facts, no real shit bro. He got skinny legs. Big upper body.

Yeah, physical, but he was a killer though. Straight killer. Elite feats too. Yeah bro, double double machine. Full work on it, impeccable. We talk about that O.A. Seltzer scene. I was like, boy, Paul Pierce at that time was about a burger away, boy.

But he was still killing it. Hit niggas with that motherfucking Hezzy. Niggas following for it, getting 24, 25 a night. So that's just, you know, that's the last of the African-American brief. I have to get it out the mud, man. I actually did this, Nacho. Is there a difference between basketball shape

and like being in regular shape? Because people tend to like discredit that. I'm like, yeah, you might see some of these athletes, they might not be as muscle defined, but they're in basketball shape. Basketball shape, way different from being in shape. Like to run like this all day, nonstop, cutting back and forth, it's a different type of shape.

Like even being in like game shape is different than being in basketball shape. Like I can be in shape to go hoop at the planet fitness, to go play a game, fighting over picking roles, running back in transition, that's different. Like even like going running miles, like distance running, I can go run two miles right now, I might not have a crazy time,

but to go play a game, I'll be way more tired. Way more tired. Yeah, that make hella sense to destroy. How many NBA minutes you think you can play right now? Like two minutes. In a game, like and play hard? I mean an NBA man. It should be you play right now Like to a game like and play hard I'm gonna go out there and fake it if you just say if your knees work like okay, there's everything was you perfect And I had to play and I had to play like I'm playing for the Pacers today

So I can fake it on the pace. They said I respect Lord. It's a now we We got to go to another team. My whole life is empty this morning. We got to send you to Charlotte. Now for like playing in a playoff game. 20 minutes. In a playoff game, where it matter. Yeah, can you play 20 minutes? Oh, 20 minutes in the playoffs is crazy. I could play probably.

I can give you 15 minutes of like playing hard. Cause guarding is the toughest thing. I play point guard. You got to play, you're going to have to switch on the guards. They gonna keep switching, keep switching, keep switching. You're going to end up on the best player. I play point guard. You're gonna have to switch on the guards. They gonna keep switching, keep switching, keep switching. You gonna end up on the best player. You gotta guard. I could probably play 15 minutes.

That's solid. That's solid. Knowing that you ain't hooped in on that level in a long time, that's still solid. I ain't gonna lie. I remember when I was in Milwaukee and I didn't play for like three weeks and they subbed me in a playoff game,

I was tired in 35 seconds. I go right out of here off two dribble handoffs and was cooked. I was fighting hard as hell, he came off another one, I was done. I was like. What'd you think that was though? It's game shape, cause people,

you know when you practice, you playing, you feel like you going hard, but when you gotta react to somebody else that's going hard, like I've been playing, I'm in game shape and they reacting a little faster, it's different, bro. Hey NBA shit a different beast. I mean, I was cooked, nigga.

I saw the guy play 38 seconds, bro. I subbed out, like they like, good job, champ. The time went off, good work, good work. I like made him miss. He got up to that bitch like, give me that, come on Drew, go get back in there now. And what's the craziest, they know all those things. They still gonna be mad if you don't play with them.

Cause it's just like, hey, this is what we pay you for. I don't care if you don't play three weeks. You know what's so crazy about this nigga, this is why I think he's hilarious. Let that be one of his players the entire time. They wouldn't leave. But that's it. He gonna be like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Cause we work hard on practice. Let me one of his players get tired of doing his thing. They wouldn't leave. But that's it.

He's like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Because we work hard on practice. That's the whole point. I was not doing anything. I was not in game shape at all. Oh, man, that's crazy. That's hilarious, man. Sunsecure dispersed yesterday, 104.93, but unfortunately,

lost Katie in the second half to an ankle injury. Book went crazy yesterday, held it down 29 and nine. Listen, man, we talk about KD's illustrious career. How many more championships do you think he would've had if it wasn't for injury? Definitely one more. I think they would've beat Toronto. Yeah, just one.

For sure. I just gave you one. They'd have three, Pete. They might've won the year that Milwaukee, when we won a championship, if injuries didn't plague the whole team. I'm just being honest. I ain't trying to take, you know,

Milwaukee already hate me and shit. I'll just be joking. But if they didn't get hurt, they were really, they was controlling that series. Yeah, for sure. You talk about that multiple times, toeing the line, that's why I asked that question. I know, obviously I think we figured

they would have took care of the rappers. But that year was kind of up for grabs for sure. Man, all right, listen, we see what happens when they don't have KD. Your sons, they gonna go through the stretch again or have they learned something? Well, I mean, injury's been kicking our ass this year, so I don't really know about the ups and downs.

We didn't look too good the first stretch when he was out, so I don't know, man. The book, they just gonna have to step it up, turn him to a killer. I think they got going to step it up, turn into a killer. I think they got enough to get some wins. I mean, having Ty Jones not out too, it's probably going to help them a little bit. And I don't, is Bradley Bill playing?

That's up in the air, so. Yeah, because they should be. I don't know. But you know, that's give or take too as well. What year are you? What's Brad's numbers? I'm sorry, you scroll. 17.

I mean, that's Third option 17. Third option 17 is solid, especially in and, you scroll. 17. I mean that's- Third option 17. Third option 17 is solid, especially in our injury. Yeah. For sure. That's crazy, man. Give well soon to the sons. Man, this NBA Cup has been crazy.

Now we have gotten through all the pool play, solidified now in the East, your 1-4 matchup. Bucks versus Magic, who y'all got in that series? Damn Bucks. Not series, but matchup, excuse me. Damn. Damn there. I don't know, that's a good matchup.

That's gonna be a hell of a serious, that's a little back and forth for sure, man. Cause the Magic play well, like we know they're missing their best player, but that ain't stop them at all. They only lost like two games in the last 14, so. Think the Bucks can call it a little stride though. Most definitely.

I don't know. I'll take the Bucks. Knicks and Hawks. You know who, we know what it is, what we here for, 3C. Bet the house or the New York Knicks. Let's go Hawks. You know who, we know what it is, what we here for, 3C. Beth the house or the New York Knicks. Let's go Hawks. Beth the crib, DJ.

Granny house, big mama house, all that. Beth the house or the Knicks. Jalen go crazy. Hey, you already know what Trey is. Trey a Knicks killer, take a bow. Ooh. Yeah. What'd he say, take your ass home. He did say that.

Yeah. Yeah. We might win the NBA Cup. Damn, DJ. And I like the energy, because you know how they feel about Trey O'Brien. Yeah, we might win the NBA Cup. Yeah. This would be a good time for him

to have a finished performance against him. I hope. That'd be fire. That'd be crazy. The NBA Cup would be great for Trey. Take us to the chip. You see what it did for Tyrese Halliburton. It took him up through there.

He started becoming super famous. You know what? On me. That's true, Jeff. Cause you way better than Tyrese. And we need to show the people. And I love Tyrese Yang. But he not Trae Young.

He not Trae Young. That is a good take though, bro. He not Trae Young. It's Trae Young time. That turned Tyrese the fuck up. Hey Tyrese. Don't worry about it, bro. We keeping receipts.

Nah, I like Tyrese. But he not Trae Young. I'm a true guy. I don't care on what level we talking. Trae Young in college, high school, NBA. He ain't Trae Young. Trae Young is one of the most disrespected superstars in the NBA for sure.

Trae Young is college. I got to respect the takers. High school Trae Young was a fucking issue. Every Trae Young, Oklahoma. No yeah, for sure. I'm just saying high school, I don't know if Tyrese was on that level. He wasn't.

I mean, he was good, but I mean, Trey Young was a top. He was then, remember, the best one of the Guardia Nation. Yeah, but we just need to get our respect back. Okay. Because people had Tyrese Halliburton better than Trey Young, and there's no disrespect to Tyrese here. You already done way more than I did,

but I'm a Hawks alum, and they've been disrespecting my dog, so. Well, one thing they both got in common, they both put belt to acid, Nick, so, you know what I'm saying? You alum and they've been disrespecting my dog. So one thing they both got in common, they both put belt to ass in Nick. So, you know what I'm saying? You know what we did again. We didn't guard the game seven last year, what a matter.

Oh, okay. See versus the math. We got going. Okay. Let that girl go. What? Nah, so I got, that's all I got right now.

It's real dark. Okay. See the math. Ah, this is a matchup right here. This is, this is the, Western Conference finals right here. This is the Western Conference Finals right here. That's the best. I like that. That's the Western Conference Finals right here.

That's gonna be a hell of a matchup. I don't even know which way I can pick in that one cause I'm like damn, Young Boys is ready too, but they got seasoned killers. I think the Mavs might take it because okay, see they ain't at full strength without shit, but they still look good ass team.

Y'all can feel how y'all want to, Paul George wanted to coat us, regardless of how it pan out. But this is how you need to play for them Sixers to be, to make a run and try to get in the playing at this point. All right. For sure, man. Y'all beat the fucking Hornets by six points and Lamello didn't play.

You gotta kill, bro. You gotta kill. Yeah. True to. That's not even a good team to try to beat. You gotta, you see, you gotta score 30 for y'all to get over the hump, so. Listen, we talk about if you don't score 100 points,

If it ain't zero bid of 43 they can fly. I don't care Oh, man, I don't care. We gotta go first though. I think that's the first thing that has to happen for real, for real. It's a disconnect between the players and the coaching staff.

Is it fair to ask your seven five, well seven three center to be guarding on the wing though? No, no, no. I mean, not being funny but- No, but I'm just saying it's a hard for him to do.

People try to find like little nicks in his game all the time and it don't matter, but I'm saying that's a, that shows right there. That nigga can't move like that. That's just a good move. Everybody get hit with something. And that's KD too. He done murdered a lot of people,
