Join us one of the morning by my two brothers to my left Bishop Henderson my right my brother T

Fellas good morning. How y'all doing? What's up, my boy? We back we back. Yeah, we sorry man I don't know if you I saw the graphic or not, you know We had to take a business trip to ATL to handle some business man So we're gonna make up for it on the next couple days though Yeah, for sure. We will be back in here we're gonna make up for it on the next couple days though. Yeah, for sure we will be back in here on Friday to make up for the two days we missed, man. A lot of basketball took place, man.

Let's get straight to it, man. Revenge game last night, man. Dallas, Lakers, Lakers got the dub yesterday, 107 to 99. Man, Luka got to beat his old team. Before we even get into that type of the statistics and stuff, T, what's it like to play a former team, man? It's always a good energy. You probably be a little nervous.

You don't know what to expect. My first time going back to Atlanta, it was a little emotional, I guess, but it was fun. We got to win. Glenn Robinson hit the game-winning shot. GR3, the homie got a G-dub for you? Yeah, he hit the game winning shot, I was turned. Hey, did they give you a tribute video?

Yeah, they tried to make me cry. But I was gangster, I held it in. I think it's fine, we know saying what players get acknowledged, but I always feel bad for the people, like them third or fourth dudes in the trade, they come back to that team and they don't get no tribute. Like, hey, I was here too, don't play with me like that. You didn't do enough.

I was solo, so I was a one on one. Talking that shit for sure. Listen, man, really, really good game. Yesterday, Brian had 27, 12 and three went crazy. Took him home in the four for 16. Luca with the triple dub 19, 15 and 12. Him, LeBron and Russell Westbrook are the only players in NBA history to have triple doubles against every NBA team. He did that pretty quick, didn't he?

Yeah. It was like year six or something. Yeah, I think this might be year six, year seven for Luca, and we talking about LeBron being in the league, what, 30,000 years, and Russell Westbrook is like year 13, 14? Nah, Westbrook's like 17. Yeah, I'm gonna say, yo, I'm underselling on that too. That's crazy though, thatuka got that many triple doubles

with seven, eight years in the league already for sure. Hey man, Kyrie was hooping as well with 35 and seven. Clay was looking like, oh Clay yesterday, man 22 and eight and Austin Reeves with 20 and five, man. Please tell me y'all saw this game yesterday. No, it was a good game. Austin Reeves is special though. Yeah, hooping.

That best third option in the league, you don't really hear people talk about shit like that a lot but yeah he he one of them ones bro. Yeah he raw. Yeah he's definitely a consideration for it for sure I don't know if I remember we had a conversation on though if he's number one but he's damn sure worthy of the conversation man. He had the hell of a black history month. Officer Reeves is killing it February. People kept saying I was out of pocket when I kept saying he like a star. But like I said he Baby Luca, they like, yeah right, and you watch him play, he is.

You threw that name out there and people got tight. They got tight. And he was not fucking with that take at all. Like I said, he a star, he not a all star, he not a superstar, he a star though. And that's definitely a star, I mean, see how he played a game how he fit in with Luca and LeBron I didn't think it was gonna be that easy of a you

know transition for him but man he looked great. For sure man the Lakers have been playing very very well especially since the trade they are 4 and 2 man I know we got a lot of Laker hate up here on the podcast but you think this is a team that could do something in the playoffs? Could they at least get to the conference finals? I don't know it's, but I don't like putting that. Y'all did that to the Warriors this year, the beginning of the year. You know what I'm saying?

Not to put that type of karma on the Lakers, but I mean, they gotta be healthy, bro. The Warriors back though. And you're saying, yeah, we gonna talk about them too. Jimmy got a back rocket. I'm just talking about before Jimmy got there, you know, shit got a little rocky. So, you know what I'm saying?

It's still early, so. I ain't gonna lie, the Lakers ain't a team you want to play in the playoffs, though. Right. Like with Luca and Brian. That's right, bro. And them two dudes can win a series on their own, like, by themselves.

Yeah. So like, to see them in a playoff, and you got like LeBron doing what he did last night, just taking over in the fourth quarter. Yeah, that's why I don't want to see OKC play them. Nah, that's a bad look for them. Yeah, that's a tough matchup. Yeah, that's the fourth spot right now.

Man. That'd be a bad, bad matchup. Like the Rockets, that's not a good matchup for them. No. No. All them young guys against them seasoned vets. Yeah. And they know how to like pick apart defenses.

Like everybody talk about Luca and Brian passing skills, but if y'all start watching the game that boy Lucas special man They pass he did the essay. All right, bro. Come on. Drop some way over shoulder. Come on. That's ridiculous, bro I don't say shit just for no reason I'll make this shit up. It's in his bag. You don't hear it. So, Bron can never. Nah, Bron can. Ah, see? See? No. Bron can pass. Come on, it's Wednesday, we missed a couple episodes

livin' this bitch up today. Bron can. Nah. Bron got all that skill set, and they everybody send me a bunch of highlights of Bron doing all these passes, and I'm like, he's gifted as a passerby, he definitely is. But, that boy Luca, man.

Even Bron said I'm a wide receiver naturally. He a quarterback, that should tell you a lot. For sure. I'm looking at this, it's very, very interesting because like you said, the Rockets definitely don't want to see the Lakers first round. I definitely wouldn't want to fall to six and see Denver either.

You gotta pick your poison between them two. Shit, I'd rather see Denver than the Lakers. I know Yogi's the best player in basketball, I get that. But y'all got just number two and three on the same team. Yeah, but damn, Jamal Murray and Luca, and the help is better. Hey, Jamal Murray's back. Yeah, I like Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter

over to help over there in Lakers. But it's more dependable. I got two. Who? If they healthy, Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr. It's like better role players than the Lakers role players. Yeah, but you don't understand. You got two of the most dynamic players to ever touch a basketball on the same team.

And you got Austin Reeves who? the third option Can go off for 20 30 points any given night, but you got the two most Dynamic players in the league right now besides Jokic is Luca and LeBron Like they on the same team, which is crazy to see still they are on the same team, bro, but I See this out Correct., this how crazy it is. Look at this how crazy it is. If Brian sit out, Luka could still win a series by himself. Look, if Luka sit out, Brian could still win a series by himself.

I respect everything you say, bro, when it come to pro sports, bro. I swear to God I do. But if that nigga LeBron James sit out, then we're gonna beat the fuck out of them. I'm not saying I'm not saying they was playing different I'm saying they can win a series I'm saying against whoever it is. If they play the Rockets basically. Russell Restbrook, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter jr., Aaron Gordon is better helped in the Lakers bottom four. The only reason I'm saying is because I seen this,

I seen Luka do this before Kyrie even got to the mask. He ain't have much help. We had Jalen Brunson was hooping, but it was a young JB, he was only averaging 18, 16, you know what I mean? It was an Austin Reeves type of moment. Yeah. And I seen him going there and win series

and destroy the Clippers when they had all them dudes PG Lou Quiet look at the do is big shit. Yeah, so I'm saying you got the dude with that capability on your team And right now he looked like the second option What the fuck like what? Yeah, they they look a little crazy like you said that West you can't death nobody at this point Cuz I'm looking at a wookie to the timber was I was looking where they are right now I know they've been up and down for sure

But I'm not mad them stand at seven cuz I like you said I don't think that they scared of Memphis Mm-hmm now with my young boy. Yeah, not way, but I damn sure Okay, yeah Rob might get on the island might get lonely Shouts Rob, but it's John Marant. We ain't ducking no rec. We ain't ducking no rec. Anthony Edwards is not gonna let him duck. But still, we not ducking no rec.

Yeah, I'm much more than see John Marant to go see Yokocho or La Fronta Lucca. I love Minnesota. I just don't think they ready for John now. For sure. All right, well, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. For sure, sorry I just mean through that out there. But yeah, the West, like you said, it's crazy right now.

But that whole scenario with the team, like Nico looking at Luke and warm up yesterday, that was funny, man. It is what it is, man. I'm glad to see Kyrie in good spirits. Kyrie was doggie yesterday. 35 piece for sure. Yeah, he's raw.

Yeah man, I hope they get Anthony Davis in lobby back man. That would've been a crazy man. That'd be fire for sure. Facts. Is that super check question? John Carter, said, Jet, what's your color? It's Carmelo Anthony, memory, he's my favorite player.

Man, what kind of question is that? We talking about Luke and the Lakers. He pulled Carmelo out of nowhere. I ain't thinking, you gotta give me some time. I wasn't thinking about Carmelo Anthony, bro. That's the curse of story time with G. Yeah, but I just was. I was.

No refunds either. He ain't that a bitch. You paid $10. That nigga tell a story every day on YouTube, don't he? I wouldn't think about no Carmelo Anthony, bro. I'm sorry, like that was just random as hell. You know how wild that is? Look at her damn drapouche eyes.

She's like. Boom. I think people think the stories are like, we playing and talking about a story. No, they really do. This is an example, y'all. That shit just be flowing. It just happen. You know, that's just me flowing. It just happened.

I don't just randomly just make up stuff in my head. It be just natural stuff. This nigga Mr. Rogers. But like, I'm like, what? I think it just slide you a test. Hey, tell me a story that's crazy. Yeah, like. That's why I don't know that one.

What's up, man? Shout out to the super chat. We love y'all. And it never irritated me. Because it was just random. Like, I'm gonna be like, oh man y'all are hilarious. Y'all are carnival, fuck it with the morning show, man. Shout out to you with your $10.

Dr. Umbar voice, make it 20 next time. The Warriors crushed the Hornets yesterday, built an ass situation 128 to 92. Amen, they 61. This is Jimmy Benner Warrior, man. And what's crazy is, I was watching the game before last and I didn't realize that he joined that team and they was on Jimmy been a warrior man. And what's crazy is I was watching the game before last and I didn't realize that he joined that team and they was on a five game road trip.

That's gotta be annoying as hell if you to join a new team, live in a new city and you ain't even pull up to a new city for like three weeks today on a road trip. That's crazy. Glad to see him getting to the team, getting straight to work and then working out for him. So that's dope that they 61 for sure. Tell you what's been the biggest difference

you've seen between the Warriors before and the Warriors now with Jimmy. Well, naturally, Jimmy is like a glue guy. Like if you know Jimmy Butler, he's a star. We know that. We know he can take over games, but naturally he a glue guy. From his days in Chicago with D-Royce and all those guys,

he was a defensive-minded player, did all the hustle things, and that's what the Warriors needed. Another guy who could guard, also Jimmy can score, but he'd do all the little things like Draymond, and they needed another Swiss Army knife type player, and got that kind of persona, like he'd just bring that kind of energy.

You expect to play hard when you see Jimmy Butler, and I think he raised the level of play for everybody. You see like BP, the white kid on their team, the lefty. Yep, Brzezinski, yep. He playing harder. You got guys coming off the bench, the energy just a little different. And I think it was good to have another voice.

I mean, I know people hear Draymond all day, but like, they probably was tired of hearing him. You know how some people you can kind of mute out, like man, he always talking shit. And you hear him talk about being a champion and shit and you respect it but you be like, man, you had eight last night. You know what I mean?

But then you see Jimmy come in here and he got that same energy and a new voice but he got 17 and 10. You know what I mean? You like, ah shit, the energy different. And they're looking at him like, yeah, all right Dre, we know you've been a part of Dynasty but I seen Jimmy take two teams to the finals.

As number uno. So like you said, the buy in, that situation. Like you said, the culture that he brings, when Jimmy want to get paid, he going to get paid. But you can tell the whole energy around that team is different for sure. It's just different. And I mean, I'm not saying like Dre Mon ain't valuable.

Dre Mon definitely valuable, but you just, if you've been around somebody long enough, you know how to ignore them or stop hearing them. That's true. For sure. Sometimes you need some different kind of love. So Jim Paul, Jimmy would come in and, you know. And he'd do well with young guys.

Like he'd always take young guys under his wing and like get real cool with them. Like if you go look at all the teams, when Tyler Hero first came to Miami, that was his guy. All them young dudes. And when we was on Minnesota, he took Tyus Jones and all them. Them were his guys. They was his guy. All them young dudes. And when we was on Minnesota, he took Tyus Jones and all them, them were his guys.

They was all young, they all rocked with Jimmy. He took care of them and everything. So I'm pretty sure he probably doing that with BP and the rest of them young dudes on the world. Yeah, I was gonna say, very interested to see what they do with Young Kamega under his tutelage too. Cause he might teach him some tools and really get him paid for sure.

RBM, man, they're right behind the Clippers, man. Can the Warriors make a move? The Warriors are better than Clippers. Oh, with Jimmy? Yeah. OK. Now, you was high on the Clippers all year, man. I know I'm still my guys, but I'm a realist, though. OK. Just I don't know. Jimmy and Steph is a scary duo as well.

They jellin' already. So I see them, if they play the Clippers, it's probably unrealistic, but I think they'll get them up outta here quick. Dang, for sure. Mike, could you pull up that Warriors roster? I forgot the Bigs name, me and you told about it. Yeah, I don't wanna fuck up his name.

Hey, he's been a crazy addition for them, like contributing-wise. I know he's been on the team, but. You gotta show him some respect. He was struggling with Zubak, but I. I mean, that's Zub. You know, he's gonna get 20-20 for sure. Keep scrolling.

Yeah, I just like they roster. There we go, Quinn Post. Hey, respect. Yeah, he been knocking down shots. He been playing very, very well for that team. He took my guy Trace Minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's pretty much shots. He's been playing very very well for that team. He took my guy trace minutes. Yeah Yeah, it's pretty much over for trace right now Man, keep your down so the water though. Keep your head down and keep working

But for sure yeah, and the minutes and dried up over there Yeah, so a little bit different go stay right now man shots the words man We'll see what they do as the season continues man Sons lose again and OT to the Grizzlies man 151 148 crazy crazy game yesterday John Moran went insane yesterday with 29 close it out in the fourth with a smooth 15 Triple J went crazy as well yesterday with 28 and your magic number six rebounds real Andrew Wiggins gonna get 20 points triple J go get six rebounds But now that's just a wild game.

To score 151 points is crazy. You know it's OT but still, my high scores, D-Bang had 25 and nine, KD 26, eight and seven, Book had 28 and 10, Bill had 24 and 11, man. Games like this man, you expect the Suns to try to win but they two and a half games out the play-in,

is it just, it's just vibes right now to Cancun? It is, but I wish you was still getting the same type of production throughout the season, like from everybody. You're going to lose some, of course, but they need to be clicking like this, and I don't think it's going to be consistent enough for them to make some noise.

That ain't even clicking, they was just playing open gym. But I'm saying it just seemed like they was just more comfortable though, bro. Like, I don't know, wasn't nobody in each other way. It's kind of like, nigga, just go hoop. Yeah, it's all about stats right now. Everybody's trying to figure out what the vacation spot going to be.

Yeah, I'm just not a fan of the team. You were early on that. Yeah, I'm not a fan. It's two of them are the same players. Like, Book is a 6'5 KD. Yeah, everybody is two guards. High level two guards, too. They're not, none of them is like James Harden

who can go to the point guard. Nah, that ain't that easy. Be efficient. So yeah, you right. All right, so I gotta ask y'all this question. Who's the only person that's gonna stay in Phoenix? Obviously, it's them three. Two gotta go. I wish everybody would go that's going to stay in Phoenix? Obviously, them three, two gotta go.

I wish everybody would go. Devin Booker too? Yeah, I wish everybody would leave Bud along. Book going to be the franchise. Book going to stay, I think they going to trade KD. I mean, because the way the contract set up, KD do for what a super max another one. I don't think nobody going,

I mean, somebody will pay Kevin Durant obviously, but I don't think they want to pay him that much and they team is like that. Because Bill got the no trade clause. No retirement days. Yeah, he said he like it there. Love it, Phoenix Weather. So the only person you can get rid of is KD

and obviously his contract's up for extension. If they signed him back, I would be very surprised because that team just underperforming. And I would be damned if I'm gonna be in a tax. And we barely making the playoffs. I was gonna say, no, that's the point right there that people missing. And they got nothing to do about what they care

about that product next year. Cause they go sell all them jerseys. Owners ain't paying that tax, bro. Somebody gotta go. That's a fight. For sure. John Moran, man, up and down the season, a little bit of injuries, but man, listen,

is he still that one that you gotta fear? He healthy, yeah, bro. That's why I like them over Minnesota, if they ever came across. Like a two-seven matchup, for sure. And shout out to John Moran, man. I know he got some unfortunate news about some family situations that took place

right before the game yesterday for him to come out and still play at a high level. On top of the things he's been going through personally as last year, I mean, how you feel about it? But like we just talked about his home getting broken into, stuff like that, like that does weigh on people, man. It does, and he been injured too. That on top of it, so mentally and physically,

he's had an up and down year for sure, man. I know Memphis has still been playing good when he's there or not but still man yeah you talking about those how many times he shot yesterday is your man man he was set for 25 yesterday most importantly he hooped out in the fourth quarter shoot as much as you want to as long as you get the dub they just need him on the floor bro it's okay for John Renn to have a bad game yeah but he's a franchise for sure yeah Hey, Triple J, man, he might get this DPOI. I mean, he's going to be eligible for the super max.

He won't be getting that. They're going to try it before they give him the five year 345. They ain't going to trade him. They're just not going to offer him the super max. Like it'll sound, it'll look crazy for him to offer him 345. And Luca already said the blueprint.

Well, Dallas Mavericks did. If they was willing to trade Luca, just cause they didn't want to pay him that much money, they're not going to do that with Triple J. Well, what y'all doing with 345? Nobody's getting it. I'll retire in five years. Think about it. Whatever his four-year max is going to be from a different team,

they just going to offer him that. Or like a little more than the four year max. They're not going to max him out a superman. No, if they do, I'll be very surprised. I mean, that'll be I hope you get it. Shit. It ain't my money, but I'll be surprised if he get 345. That would be interesting. So that is kind of I can say it's a smart play, but a business-minded play.

All right, I'm only gonna offer you three or five, for the other team, I'm only gonna offer you, what is it, four year, what, probably maybe $55, $60 each year? Yeah, whatever it is. I'm gonna offer you, if I only offer you $55 or $60, I'm gonna offer you $61. And then you can't be unhappy, because you only can get $60 from that team.

Yup. Yeah, but you- I gave you more. you being a petty giving me a dollar bro. That's a million I'm saying that's how you looking at it though. That's something from a business. I'm gonna get this nigga extra dollar Who said I treat me like the price is right? I can't give Jaren Jackson 345 million You getting the highest paid player in the NBA? I mean, just as I can't give Jaren Jackson 345 million, you getting the highest paid player in the NBA, and you average six rebounds. You already said it's six rebounds.

They gon' be, you already mad now. Y'all know how I feel. I love Triple J though. And if John Morant don't play, you probably not gon' play. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. And I'm not hating, bro.

It's just. What happens? That's what, I'm an owner, that's what I'm looking at. Like man, I'm not about to get it, man know what I mean? Like, no. And I'm not hating, bro. It's just. What happens? That's what the, I'm an owner. That's what I'm looking at. Like, man, I'm not about to get it. Man, what? Yeah. He get 61 million and six rebounds.

There goes so much hate on him. Nah, he. And then talking to some of my friends that's in the, you know, in the front office and stuff. They was like that. Y'all not going to see them kind of deals no more. You getting paid off your production from now on. Watch. And I was like, dang, you think so? He's like, youall not going to see them kind of deals no more. You getting paid off your production from now on, watch. And I was like, dang, you think so?

He's like, you ain't going to see them outlandish deals for like guys averaging 10 points. He's like, they ain't going to do it no more. Damn. That's what he was telling me. One of my guys. Yeah, they'd be very interested to see how free agency goes in the upcoming seasons, but man, shout out to Triple J.

Rockets took care of the books yesterday 100 to 97 really really close game yesterday. James Green went off for 25 yesterday. Yannis hooped out 27 10 to 6. Dame had 22. Shae going crazy yesterday with 23 and 11 man. Hey that Rockets team man, even young boys they can hoop man. They are very entertaining basketball right now.

Like across the board, like with a young team, you see a lot of rookie mistakes sometimes in this clutch situations, but they play a really good brand of basketball, man. Yeah, they remind me of OKC last year. We was fans of OKC. I like that. We liked them.

They was exciting for the year. Playoff time. They just didn't have that experience. I think that's going to be the same thing for the Rockets. But they're a good team though. For sure man. Great future team. Man, who would you say is the best player

on this Rockets team? Jalen Green. Okay. I think they just gotta, I think they collab well. Like, I think Thompson Twain is special. Jalen Green is probably the highlight player. He's probably the most explosive player they got offensively.

But the best player is obviously, I don't even know how to say his name. I ain't going to butcher it. The center. Yeah, he makes a lot happen for that team. But Jalen Green's the most explosive player. For sure, I only ask that question because I wonder next year how that answer will go.

Because if Thompson takes another leap like he did this year. No, they just got to keep, they just got to get that experience bro. They're going to be okay. Houston is in good hands if they can find a way to keep those players together. They'll build like OKC, like bro said.

Glad to see teams like that bro. Yeah, what do you think they'll do with Fred, Van Fleet next year? Whatever he want to do. Did they actually do balls or? Yeah, I don't think they trust Ray Shepard yet. He probably going to be one of them guys to get a chance next year.

Get a little more minutes. I think they going to give him that same Peyton Pritchard, Tripa treatment. Which is good. Yeah, he going to play a little bit second year, third year, get a play keeping for a low number of four years, 32. You can just trust Fred more for sure. I want to ask y'all about this play here. So like Thompson got ejected for this.

Y'all feel like this is a flag or two? Yeah he wildin'. That he's y'all pocket. I can't even see that move. Blow it up. Yeah you can't grab him around him by the neck bro. You wildin'. What'd he do? Ah he did that to Yannis. Ah he's cool. She's playing hard boy. Too much of that ATL in you boy.

Nah that's the hard foul. Yannis was saying something to him. It was two heads around the neck too, I think that's what got him rejected. He acting like old boy from the Pistons. That's what crashing out. I was in a store. Yeah.

He out of there. That was just like. Oh, look at there. Look at this. V-neck hairline. I hate that fucking mustache. I hate him. Oh, we know you hate.

I don't hate that brother. Team building, we got to jump 20 brothers. That's tough, man. I love that young dude though, man. That's tough, but a lot of people are just like, that shouldn't have been a flag or two. It's like the 90s would have been a play on. Well, niggas not 90s.

They were full-time people. You can't do that, but I love his energy though, bro. He got a lot of dog in him, man. that team is in good hands for sure for sure man Last my least about this man the Bucs obviously if they don't get to conference finals is time to blow it up, right? Everybody gotta go. Oh, yeah I don't like all these blowing teams up shit. I don't be knowing bro. Yeah, it just don't make sense I think everybody just rock out. It's a waste. Yeah, you can't make it to the conference finals

or the championship. It's time to go in a different direction. Who you getting rid of first? Obviously, Dane gotta go. You gotta trade Dane. You gotta get younger. Okay. Yeah, for your future.

Y'all just might want to explore. Yeah. You might have to. You might have to. Yannis might want to explore something different. So. Lord Jesus. Where does he even go? Because it's going to be day one in 2021. Yeah. And then 2025.

Y'all ain't really, they ain't made the conference final since huh? No, because last year, you know what I'm saying, we got them up out of there and a year before that. Mmm. My. No, they didn't get to come from us in 23. Yeah, so yeah, I don't think so. So is they went in a different direction already,

traded Drew. That was the biggest hurt to their franchise right there. Yeah, choices were made. So. But you got Dame. No, they got Dame, Dame is cold. And they got a chance to make it. I mean it ain't like the East is weak,

but just it's like, man we gonna be in this middle of the pack. Yeah that ain't gonna be good. We spending too much money. Yeah. Yeah first round, yeah that's ugly. Yeah especially if they losing the first round. Ooh, now that's if yeah. I'll give it to y'all then, they losing the first round. Ooh, now that's if, yeah. I'll give it to y'all then.

They lose in the first round. They get in that three, four matchup. You know who they're playing the first round right now? Don't let us be Milwaukee again. I mean, four, five matchup, and they lose in the first round. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

If we beat the Bucs again, they're gonna break that team up for sure. Yeah, if they losing that four, five matchup. Bucs need to move to Vegas. Hey, hold it, if we beat them, that's crazy. But if they fall to six and they get linked up with the Knicks and they lose that three six matchup, that's going to be tough.

They're going to have to leave. You know what, if that ends up happening, that's going to say a lot for both teams. Cause if the Bucks beat the Knicks at that three spot, it's up. But if the Knicks lose the three seed to the Bucks, yeah, it's gonna get ugly. I know they decide on people,

but there's gonna be some conversations about this season if they lose in the first round for sure. Speaking of the Knicks, man, are they really contenders? Cause we look at all the top teams that they played so far. They haven't beat the Cavs, they haven't beat the Celtics, and they have not beat the Thunder. Is that just coincidence or? I don't think they play well against quality

They come across the Thunder is boy spanking it doesn't look like they really Next they plan well, it's their matchups road is different road Celsius I told our. The Celtics, I told you our Celtics were going to sweep them. Same look, how they look right now, it's going to happen in the playoff. Yeah, after that Caps belted out situation. You don't have no bench. I said, woof. You don't have no bench, bro.

I've never been sold on the Knicks. I think they had a best duo at the time. Jellyn Brunson and Cat were playing well, but to win this playoff series, I think they got the formula to be a good team. Like with all those wings, they be able to switch one through four, whatever it is. But the thing that Boston do well, they play two bigs.

And like Cornett and them, they just punish people on the offensive glass. They protect the rim well. You don't think much about like Luke Cournet or Al Horford. You don't think about them like that but they play a significant role for that team. And they can guard on the perimeter. Better than what they get credit for. Luke Cournet is a really good player. Contributes. It's pretty, cause he was in the G League

and going back and forth to it. And if you watch him play, he's pretty good for now. Yeah, and like you said, they trust him a lot too. Yeah. They trust him a lot. Man, listen, I believe as an ex-head, Full Strength could do something, but when you look at these types of numbers, bro,

y'all have not beat nobody of contention, for real, for real. That's nasty work, bro. The NBA going back to two bigs though. Real power forwards? If y'all watch, nah, I ain't say real power forwards. I ain't talking about Charles Oakley in them. Oh yeah, that's long gone.

Yeah, but if you start watching it, it's going to be too, like, just look at the Cavs. A lot of the successful teams play two bigs. Even the Celtics start two bigs at times. Yeah. Cavs, Thunder gonna start, you know, they got Chet and Hardenstein. Even though they, you know, don't start all the way,

all the time together, but they just got That's the move though. Yeah. You can. You just got to. That's the move though. Yeah. You can. And Gordon.

Yoke. Yoke. So the league is going, what you're saying, the league is going back to big wings and post play. Nah, I didn't say post play. No, I'm saying like post players. But they don't have bigger, they got more, they got bigger guys

who play prior four that are capable of doing more. So if you even look at like Anthony Davis moving to the four. Yeah. And you got Lively a five, he's still a young athletic five when he gets healthy or whatever. Young athletic five who can run and get up and down with Anthony Davis who athletic who run and get up and down. But they too tall forwards.

I got what you're saying. That's just how the game is about to start going because you can't have these little six. That's why the, if you watched when the Dallas Mavericks and the Warriors played the other day, there was zero rim protection. And it would look like, it looked like open gym. They always just running to the basket,

laying it up, back cutting. And Dallas needed rim protection and they could have won that game, badly. It's over for players like Kenneth Fareed. Nah, cause he got a motor. People like him, like Draymond, they got motor. They play bigger than what they are. Like Draymond, Grant, Kengar, Evan Mobley, without a problem.

Yeah. But he need Post to play. Like Post has to play too, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, there's no more Draymond at the problem. It's like easy. He needs another player with him Like even like Miami they start BAM and Khalil we're yeah, you see I mean like it's going back that way For sure man Listen, I made it next take that I would like to walk back a little bit cuz I've seen top tip of those sub being

Cat and that bossing game when they was getting their ass kicked and he was limping for no reason. Hey bro, Tim you got you bro. They was getting smacked bro, he put cat back in the game. I said alright Tim, we get it bro. But this is ridiculous bro. He don't care bro. She got a jersey on bro.

You on my bench bro, you're getting in the game bro. He be trying to make sure people get they all NBAs and stuff. Yeah bro, he almost had him out for the season bro. Cat was limping on the court. I said bro, what are we doing right now? I don't even like room for Knicks right now. Do you want this money or not? What you want to do?

I already have it bro. The league is in your hands at this point. Your journey is in your hands. Now it's time to put away your dirty My boy, you're well, so a couple games took place last night Celtics beat the rappers yesterday 111 to 101 JB had 24 and 5 JT had 1911 and 6 RJ bear had 22 Scotty Barnes had 22 as well Cavs beat the sleeves off the magic yesterday built a ass situation for show
