The Volume. Good morning, man. Happy Monday. It's been a hell of a weekend in the sports world. We're here to keep you up to date everything,

5.20 in the morning. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wills. Join this morning, cold morning, my brothers to my left, Bishop Henderson to my right, my brother T, fellas, how y'all doing this morning? What's happening, bro? Rose is back, cold, snow, but right, my brother T. Fellas, how y'all doing this morning? What's happening, bro? Man, roads is bad, cold, snow.

Hey, we here. City workers is out of fucking pocket. Yeah, man, we gotta appreciate y'all, the essential workers who had to go out in these elements to make sure everything was safe, man. Midwest times is real spooky, especially in that. Cold as hell, but listen, we still gonna get to work for y'all, man.

We gotta wrap up everything that's happened in the sports world, a lot of crazy stuff going on. But let's get to some great games from yesterday, man. The Thunder took care of the Celtics yesterday, dominated them in the second half with a 105-92 victory. Franchise record, 15 straight wins. SGA went crazy yesterday, 33-11 to six. MVP.

Talk about it. MVP. Talk a fuckin' bout it. JT had 26 and 10, and JB had 21, even though he went scoreless in the second half. Listen, as much as we normally talking about the Celtics, you know how they can lack off some games because they're the defending champs.

We gotta show a little to the thunder, man. They really did some championship shit yesterday. Nah, man, that's a hell of a team, bro. They still figuring it out, too. So that's a scary team. It's a scary matchup for the Celtics, I think. I still think the Celtics, I think. I still think the Celtics will dominate them in the series

if it came down to it. Most definitely, but listen man, what we've seen from yesterday's game, man, the Celtics go into the second half with basically a double digit lead, and they got held to 27 points, you know what I'm saying? In the second half, like 20% shooting. Thunder defense really went crazy yesterday, man.

And we gotta show some respect to that, man. They're looking like a championship contender for sure. I know we said that that young experience, but they ain't playing like it, especially the way they play yesterday. Boys, man. They got enough athletes to compete with, you know, Boston. They got enough wings and enough athletes.

Well, again, Caruso and those guys, that's also helping build that defensive chemistry. When Shaq get back, they got enough pieces to compete with the Celtics on a day, like on a night to night basis. I still think the Celtics are the better team. Obviously they got the championship pedigree, but the Thunder, man, it's a fun team to watch.

And SGA is arguably playing the best basketball of anybody in the NBA besides Jokic. They're going back and forth for MVP right now. But SGA, they different. Like you said, man, killing right now. Best record in the NBA. Listen, they're still missing shadow, obviously. But with him, do y'all feel like they're the most complete team in the NBA? Celtics are still?

Yeah, I mean, Jews is better than everybody, bro. Jews is better than everybody on the Thunder. I don't I don't really trust they bench the Thunder. You know what I mean? Like I said, they got Karrouf, so obviously he out. But that's really the only person you know, like Kason Wallace comes off the bench sometimes. They start different.

Isaiah Joe, they all got capable moments. Yeah, Wiggins comes in and play with Will. They all got moments where they could be great. We just haven't seen it in the playoffs yet, right? These dudes are playoff tested and had real big moments in the playoffs. So that's the only thing that I'm scared about. We know what the Celtics can do.

All these guys been through it. So maybe they just waiting to get to the, you know, the championship rounds and really picking it up. Yeah, for sure. I don't know. Them not scoring like that in the second half is out of pocket. Yeah, I was going to say,

I mean, they definitely didn't play their best, pocket. Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, they definitely didn't play their best, obviously. We've seen Boston play very, very well. But also, Gipson crazy at the defense, man. Like you said, they was really getting too, yesterday was bothering them. I know they normally miss shots they normally hit, but the Thunder was doing what they was supposed to do, man.

This is just crazy for D'Amn not to score like that in the second half and still only lose by seven. It's more surprising, Jalen Brown. Like, he'll not like that in the second half and still only lose by seven. It's more surprising Jalen Brown. He'll not score. In the first half, yeah. No, no, they lost by more than that. Yeah, I was gonna say. Oh damn.

I looked at the scoreboard. It got wicked. Oh, it got wicked. Yeah, but like you said, the wicked part about it is it was a close game, but then overcoming the double digit halftime lead and dominating them like that, that's crazy. Shout out to my sleeper.

Yeah, your sleeper, you know what I'm saying? You've been on the bandwagon, man. I fuck them like that. That's crazy. Shout out to my sleeper. Yeah, your sleeper, you know what I'm saying? You've been on the bandwagon, man. I fuck with that though. That's good. SBA, you gotta give it to him off the strength. Yeah, he has to give you P. Has to. I don't think the S.O.S.

I don't think Drew Halliday will play that bad. Yeah. You know what I mean? Payne Pritchard not gonna both play that bad. You know what I mean? That's one of those games where you like, shit. Gotta heal it away. shit. Throw it away. Yeah, throw it away, but.

Now I want to say this too. Your point about it, like the road players that they have on that team, they're going to be relying upon, the best thing about them is they probably going to have home court advantage. You know, in that situation, you know, on the road, it get iffy,

but at least if your young players will play good at home on, in the playoffs, you might not have to make the moves, but Cam Johnson, you know, they are high in talks to trying to acquire him. They get my dog, because they know I'm the number one pick for Cam Johnson. I give- They got so many picks that they can give away their-

The defensive presence on the wing and a guy who's capable of scoring big, having big nights. If you put him on that team, I definitely feel like you gotta get him to the finals for sure. And a lot of people are kind of feeling, I'm not saying they're gonna win, but you get Cam Johnson, bro, they're going to the finals. Yeah, they get Cam Johnson. You got Lou Dore and Cam Johnson as your wing defenders. And you got Jalen Williams.

You know how I feel about Jalen Williams. I'll start Jalen Williams, so. Yeah. I'm starting to be like, be him. They get him, I'm an Ultimate fan, but. All right. Until they get Cam Johnson, I'm still riding with like, be him. They get him. I'm an ultimate fan. But until they get Cam Johnson, I'm still riding with the Celtics for the championship. For sure.

Are they the best team in NBA? The Celtics. Yes. Okay. I'm going to quit disrespecting the Cavs. The Cavs are playing really good basketball. And I think they're having a Hawks moment. You know what I mean?

You know, we had a good run. We were balling. We were doing all that. And we were getting overlooked a little bit. Everybody felt like, ah, they're having a good year. Little shocking, I think they're getting that kind of treatment, but they got some capable players over there. I could see them going to the Eastern Conference Finals. They're making it tough on Boston. I don't think they can beat them, but I think they can make it tough. Peshaw, we'll talk about the Cavaliers a little bit later in the show here. Rockets hang on late.

Take care of Lakers 119 to 115. Really, really good game yesterday, especially that fourth quarter. Michelle, we'll talk about the Cavaliers a little bit later in the show here. Rockets hang on late. Take care of Lakers 119 to 115. Really, really good game yesterday, especially that fourth quarter. Lakers tried to, you know what I'm saying, get back into the game, but it just got iffy, man. The Rockets young team got some really good closes on their roster.

Jalen Green went crazy yesterday. 33, six and four. A-Man Thompson, 23 and 16. AD was doing what he does best, 30 and 13. Braun had 21, 13 and nine, and AR had 21 and 10. AR really been playing well at that point, man. He's been going crazy the last couple of weeks. Like he's been going crazy.

They were very confident with moving D-Lo. If that was gonna happen, they should have did this earlier. He's been close to a double-double damn near every game since then. So, hey. We tweaking that roster, hey, if it work, don't break it, fuck it. Fuck then. So, hey. We're tweaking that roster. Hey, if it worked, don't, I mean, don't break it. Fuck it.

Fucks. Keep it going. And yeah, and listen, they've been on our, they've been on our heels in the comics. They'd be like, y'all be talking about the Lakers being bad. They were just top four in the West this weekend. Respect. And then y'all just turn around and lose some rockets.

I don't give a damn. I still said, I don't give a damn. I ain't saying it was bad. I just. I did. You know, Laker fans, won't they, hey, Glory. Yeah, tell me, where they at in the West right now? I think they dropped a fifth after the loss maybe, or they still four.

Let's see. They're five after last night's loss. Okay. 2015. They're not playing bad, bad basketball. I'm not saying anything bad about the Lakers. I think they starting to figure out what AR at the point guard position.

Anthony Davis, obviously, he's been balling, LeBron's playing at a high level too. They got a team full of stars that can make a run. I mean, I think AR is a star now. We can call him a star. He's basically a star now. I ain't gonna say star. He's basically a star now.

So they got three stars, three capable players. They get one more person on that team. Damn, y'all saying he a star. Upper echelon, I ain't gonna say star. He's basically a star for sure. So they got three stars, three capable players. They get one more person on that team. Damn, y'all saying he a star? No, I'm not. I'm saying he's above average. You're averaging Demner, he Demner 18 and 10 a game right now. He playing at a star level.

So if you go out on the street, they're gonna be like, Austin Reese. He Demner a star. Hey, he got a shoot too, which is crazy. And you start for the Lakers at point guard. They trade D'Angelo Russell, who made the All-Star team for you. You Dem near a star. He got a shoot too, which is crazy. And you start for the Lakers at point guard. They trade D'Angelo Russell, who made the All-Star team for you. You damn near a star.

That just took me back, but I respect it. Damn near. I ain't mad at you for that. I ain't say a superstar, but you damn near a star. All right. I'm gonna say a boom average. I ain't gonna say All-Star. I'm just gonna say a star. It's so many tears in your eyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, just a star. I ain't saying All-Star.

He's not a superstar, he's not an all star, just a star. So he's basically what, a C plus is what we're saying? He's a C plus. He a B. B minus? I'm gonna be a B minus. On 2K, he fight a B minus. He a B, he a B.

You a damn real star if you like a 85 on 2K. Yeah, and then all star 90 up and then superstar 95. Okay, if we go by those rankings, then respect. Yeah. Like, if you an 80 and below nigga, you not a star. You like, good player. You solid. Now when you get to them 69. Are you boo boo?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You in the bench. But it's crazy, because at one point, 81, if it was 81 or 2K, you was there, Marquota offense, or you would have something special. So is Derrick White a star? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he a star. He ain't a all star.

He can be, but he a star for sure. If we go by those measurements, I'm rolling there. If you can say that for AR, you can say it for Derrick White. When he walk on the street, niggas know Derrick White. So who y'all taking, Derrick White or AR? Oh, Derrick White. Ooh. I'm taking Derrick White

because Derrick White can give me the same offensive production and he's gonna play way better defense. Yeah, I take Derrick White too. Yeah, I can get 20 from Derrick White. He me the same offensive production and he's gonna play way better defense. Yeah, I take Derek White too. Yeah, I can get 20 from Derek White. He can get a quiet 19 and straps it up. AR, we say we geeking over him getting 21 and 10. But it is. You are for the Lakers though.

21 and 10, playing with bruh. I ain't bad at it. No, I'm not sliding it. I ain't bad at AR. I ain't sliding it by no means but. The star AR. I ain't bad at it. If the Lakers could make that trade, I'm sure they probably would fuck with Derrick White

in the heartbeat. They would upgrade that. He damn near an all-star though, Derrick White. Yeah, he just on the loaded team. Yeah, yeah, he damn near an all-star. I wouldn't be surprised if he made the all-star team this year, to be honest. I swear, listen, they better not do that shit.

And we talk about them hot Cs getting random people in there. It's a lot of people in the scene who get all stars. What are your average? 18, four. Was that a six or eight? That's a star. Come on, y'all. He ain't a star.

I ain't say all stars. I said a star. OK, we'll let y'all talk about that in the comments. I want to show some love to the Rockets, man. They have become a really, really solid team this year, and they got really good closers on this team as well, man. I looked at the stat between their three stars and their team, they've only missed like two free throws in the clutch.

Just like, they're going crazy, bro. Who went in the series? The Rockets and Lakers? Yeah. Oh, that's tough. I would go with the Lakers just because of experience. Beating Braun four times was crazy. I think they'd be tougher for them to guard Anthony Davis.

Obviously Bron is who Bron is, but Anthony Davis is that. I don't think Segon could guard him at all. You don't think even with like Steven Adams shot on one, they couldn't make a game plan. You don't think he'd make a game plan for them? No, Anthony Davis is way just too good for them. Like I like, I love the Rockets.

I love how he made coaches. I love the young guys, how well they play, but if Jabari Smith and, how you say his name? Shagon, whatever. Shagon. Shagon, whatever, they gotta try to stop Anthony Davis gonna be a long night. I agree too, that's one thing I think about the Rockets,

while they're a very interesting team, who in the playoffs do you feel I can go just to win a game? And I don't look at anybody at roster and don't look like they can just give me to the promised land alone. I know Fred Van Fleet can give me buckets. I know he's going to be solid and you know, win the game. Jalen Green, we got to see that first. So this would be his coming out party in that situation.

I think they're just too young to beat them right now. But I still think the Rockets is cold. Like I thought they'd play. I think the Rockets are on the same thing that Boston Celtics were. I mean, I think Boston had a head start with Brad Stevens. Stevenson, what's his name? Brad Stevens?

Brad Stevens, man. I forgot my nigga name. Brad Stevens, I played for him. Brad Stevens, Uh-huh. Stevenson. What's his name? Brad Stevens? Brad Stevens, man. I forgot my nigga name. Brad Stevens. I played for him. Brad Stevens. Stevenson. Brad Stevens.

Gave him a head start. You know, with the teams they had with IT and all them dudes. And then Gordon Hayward and Kyrie. And they had kind of a head start with their group. But I see them doing the same thing Boston do. Getting all these talented wings. Step by step.

Getting some veteran point guards. And then handing it over to all these talented wings to take them to the promised land. It's kind of the same recipe that the Houston Rockets are using right now. Like you said, man, man, Thompson's coming into his own 23 and 16. Just noticed also Ken Whitmore getting in this too.

Finally. Yeah, man. God, Lee. Finally let my man play. Rockets got a young, talented team. I think they're the one people that's a player away from really being like a real contender in the West. I hate when people say that though.

Like they one player away cause that's what player away from really being like a real contender in the West. I hate when people say that though, like they one player away, cause that's what we thought with Pacers, right? Y'all had that good team. We like, we get, I ain't even trying to hate, but y'all get Pascal, y'all get these guys. I think y'all was a better team when y'all had Bruce Brown and y'all had Buddy Hill and y'all was- I was in a good mood this morning,

but we got Pascal so y'all coming with to the Eastern Conference finals. We working with the Eastern Conference finals. Fucking Bruce Brown. No, y'all was already to the Eastern Conference finals. We working with the Eastern Conference finals. Fucking Bruce Brown. No, y'all was already gassed. Bruce Brown bought the gas, bro. Bruce Brown, he gave y'all the confidence. He had Tyrese Hollenberg playing out his body pulls.

Like, he gassed y'all. Buddy Hill gassed y'all. They gave y'all fun brand of basketball. They played well so they became a trade value. You know what I mean? If Bruce Brown wasn't hooping, if Bruce Browner wasn't hooping, nobody would have traded for Bruce Browner,

given up Pascal for Bruce Browner now. Good take, T. No, it's not. It's a horrible take. How is that a horrible take? We didn't need him. That's why we traded him. We were better when we traded him.

We went to the Eastern Conference finals with Pascal. He was murdered. I know, but y'all team was already gassed up. Tyrese Halliburton was already gassed. He was playing at a high level to the Eastern Conference finals with Pascal. He was murdered. I know, but y'all team was already gassed up. Like Tyrese Halliburton was already gassed. He was playing at a high level. Yeah, he was off the high. Yeah, Pascal came and joined the team,

and it was a good high. But Tyrese was already out his body because y'all played so fast. Everything was ran around him. He got the run around shoot, passed it to them. Bruce Brown guarded everybody, hyped everybody. Bruce Brown was playing out of control before he got traded. He was hooping. I was like, damn, Bruce Brown guarded everybody, hyped everybody, Bruce Brown was playing out of control before he got traded, he was hooping.

I was like, damn, Bruce Brown might really be nice. Yeah, and I thought he was nice enough to get out of town and that's exactly what happened. He always do that, cause when Bruce Brown was here, he was like, we can get Bruce on the show. Of course. Now he get out. This business.

Now he out of town, Bruce Brown, he ain't doing shit no. What kind of a whopping seven points you ever talk about? I don't care. He did a lot for y'all, man. Then y'all got Pascal and the momentum was already there. Like everybody's playing out there by it. TJ McConnell was playing great with Bruce Brown. For a person that wasn't, and obviously he got better.

Listen to big technology podcast on the I heart, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, listen, we can talk about it. If you want to change your season, come play the Pacers. What happened? We beat the Kings, they fired Mike Brown. We beat the Suns, they started benching people. Who else we got up out the paint? Now look at him.

Oh, the Heat. After we beat the Heat, Jimmy went into press conferences. I don't like Miami no more. That's why. We out here changing seasons, baby. We losing to these niggas, man. We back up. Six to the last, hey, here changing seasons, baby. We losing to these niggas, man. We back up. Six to the last, hey, don't worry about it.

We good, Tyrese. Respect. But I'm just saying, Bruce Brown popped it off for y'all. No, I'm not giving Bruce Brown no credit or anything to happen to Bruce Pancas. Bruce Brown got the Pancas list. He was there for four months. And he didn't do shit.

He has y'all playing with confidence. And I like Bruce. I don't like to be in this position, man. He has y'all playing with confidence, bro. Then y'all brought JJ in cause y'all was getting punked. It was just like. No, we definitely needed JJ. He was, yeah, that's, I'm back.

The game boss situation. He ain't got y'all going, bro. He was hooping at that time, bro. What he was averaging at that time? Bruce Brown season and the first. What he was averaging right there? Yeah. Come on, bro.

He was hooping. I hate when niggas do this. Can we go to Patrick? That's his best year in the NBA. Y'all, but I hate when niggas do this. Bro, he was hooping. That hate when niggas do this. Can we go to Pascal, see how complete he is? That's his best year in the NBA. I hate when niggas do this. Bro, he was hooping. That's his best year in the NBA. And how many games he played on the team?

33? Yeah, but he's doing good, bro. Respect. Can we go to Pascal, see how complete he is, and see what he did as a uphaser? I'm not saying he was playing better in Pascal. I'm saying he brought the juice. I like to see numbers next to each other.

Obviously, Pascal's a better player. That's why he on a max deal. But I'm saying Bruce Brown cracked it off. I like to see numbers next to each other. Obviously Pascal's a better player. That's why you're on a max deal. But I'm saying Bruce Brown cracked it off. I like to see numbers next to each other. Can we go to Pascal's averages as a Pacer? 19. No, no last year please, when he came 16. He had to slow start this year.

There's just timeframes, you know, since the last season. I'm just saying he cracked it off for y'all. Pacers was hoopin'. Before y'all got Pascal, Y'all was playing good. It ain't all about the numbers sometimes. I know it ain't. It is not.

Oh it is when he's getting 21. God damn it, it is about the numbers. I mean when you get the ball, of course. We gave Bruce the ball. He would shoot whatever the hell he wanted to. Jeff said he maximized his role for y'all. Mostly. Had him playing at a high level before.

He not comparing him to Pacers. I know. He was able to be a trade target. Like we could trade, we could put Bruce Brown in the trade because he was playing well. Like, if he wasn't hooping. If he was averaging what he averaged in this year, it wouldn't have been even a resourceful.

No, for real. What he did for that Nuggets run, for real, for real. Doing the championship, he definitely contributed for that team, for sure. That's why he got paid that money, for sure. His high rolled over to the Pacers. Yeah, it did roll right on to Toronto, and we got Pass Garcia coming this up. See, that's why I played for to the patients. Yeah, it didn't roll right on to Toronto, and we got Pascal Siakam this up.

See, that's why I played for the patients. I like the patients, but at this point, every time I try to mend a relationship, you do this. Fuck him, let's fuck him at this point. No, because he be doing that, bruh. Yeah. Like, it's cool to be in a patient's bed. He does, I told you.

But fuck it, we're the Hawks, we're getting this shit. We're the Hawks, man. fan. He does, I told you. But fuck it, where the Hawks weren't getting this shit? Where the Hawks at? So we get back, we seven. Oh, we, make a run. You know, we, hey, $100 bet who has the better record in the season? The Hawks. What?

Fuck out of here. Who got the better players? The Hawks. Pacers ain't got no killers like that. Damn, the Hawks got better players than the Pacers? I actually like the Pacers, but he just love them so much, you make me hate him. Damn, the Hawks got better players than the Paisers?

Go to DJ. Our bench. Deandre Hooter-Hunter. 20, 20 pcs. We had to compare him with like Miles numbers or something. Why we pull up TJ's and his ass numbers? Hey, y'all playin' in my face. Come on, man.

Y'all better pray y'all don't see us in the playoffs. Y'all gonna move on. Y'all better pray y'all don't see us in the playoffs. Y'all have it all. Hey listen, we're right next to each other's stands.

We ain't got too much on the top. All the Rockets, oh yeah. Hey we play the Rockets at home. Oh yeah, take that up. It's lit, we about to go in there and beat them. Hey well, that's cool. That was what, man. Cavs, it's in the winning streak, the 10 games

over the Hornets, it's like 115 to 105. Jello had 24 and four, B Miller had 24, Derris Garland 25. They doing their All-Star campaign, they say, I got my mans messed up, make sure he get in it. Nah, that nigga said Jello. I didn't say Jello. I'm tight on that corner. I fucked up, D Garland, my fault game.

D Garland, he called you Jello, guy. Jello got the streets in the headlock right now. You are from Gary. You are from 21. Jello got the streets in the headlock right now. You are forgetting. You are forgetting. Now, you don't need to be a white spiky. Jello got the streets in the headlock. I'm about to bring my 4-H jersey back. That's crazy.

Jared Allen had 1911. Now, I've been mentioning I had 1911. I don't know how they had the Madden. Madden 2001 with the Jello. You see what they had with the wire? Yeah, bro. The cool. Hey, if the Hornets don't play that's on the corner. Yeah, bro. Rode up in the corner. Ooh. Hey, if the Hornets don't play that,

every single time. Oh, they weed. Oh, shouts to them, Doug. That was hilarious, man. Oh, yeah, the Cavs. Thunder's fine. Y'all think that's a possibility? Who?

Cavs and Thunder. Nah, I ain't going to disrespect the bean like that. You said who? 31 and 4. I ain't going to like the bean like that. Why? Mm. You don't think they can get out there? I mean, listen, man. I swear to God, if the Cavs play the Thunder in the NBA Championship, who, I don't want to fall. I ain't gonna like to be in like that. Why? You don't think they can get out there? I mean, listen, man.

I swear to God, if the Cavs play the Thunder in the NBA Championship, bro, we were sweeping them niggas, bro. Oh, you feel like, is that light? I don't think that's gonna be the least watched NBA finals ever. Wild time. Cavs versus Thunder, boys going to bed.

Now we talk about the whole viewership situation, y'all don't think two young, small marketeens, quote unquote, could help with that? Sleep. I love the Cavs, bro. I love both the teams. As a basketball hit, I love to see them two in the finals. Two young boys.

Donovan Mitchell and Shay going at it. We too big for the boss. Too big for the Cavs. Nah. You know what I mean? Jerry Allen and Evan Mobley. Quiet, bro. Quiet, bro.

Yeah, they can do it. Chet, Chet, get back, bro. Come on, man. Evan Mobley. Quiet bro, quiet bro. Yeah they can do it. Chet, Chet get back bro. Come on man. Evan Mobley can't guard Chet? Yeah, definitely. Damn, you know that's what he do well is play defense. Sham God bro. Nah he crazy, what he do well is play defense.

He does, he can guard Chet. He damn near just as good as Chet. He really just as good as him. It just don't look the same. You know what they be in? Chet play, he kind of got handles and shit, but like. That's crazy. How effective, the effectiveness they have on the game.

I love the Evan Mobley game. Bro, they is like the same. Go look at Chet numbers and go look at Evan Mobley numbers. Even though Chet hurt. Evan Mobley, he got a gray motor. Guard, black shots. Second jump is elite. 16 and nine, what Evan Mo Second jump is elite. 16 and nine, whatever Mowgli was doing.

I like numbers next to each other. 18 and eight. Everybody on my team can get a dub, bro. Shit, I played with Donovan Mitchell, he get a dub. Sorry, what's your fault? Derrick Garland get a dub. It's spooky after that. Everybody else is fitted to the role.

Shit, Carlson Burke can get a dub. Off the bench for sure. Okay. So you obviously- Who getting the dubs on there, Jay? Let them play, run the six. Jay and Shay. I don't have to say no names.

Jay and Shay. Everybody can get 20 on the, their first seven players can get 20 on the Thunder. That's cat. Okay. Who else can get 20? All you gotta do is look at the roster and see who has 20 points this year, bro

I mean, that's Valuable minutes Gorgi we don't if Gorgi hit a dub you could put one dollar on Draft Kings and you don't win a million dollars my wife boy off the bench with a good His last trust in head Truth where they didn't get 20 Austin had. $20. Max Struz, whatever it is, he can get 20.

All right, bro. Well, when they play. George De Aida had 20 point game. When they play, shout out to Minivan. When they play, this is bad, bro. All right. Now I'm a Cass fan again. Run it up, Cass.

The jerseys are growing. Kenny, shout out to you, gang. You're having a hell of a season. I told y'all, I talked to Jordan. Yeah, I'm pulling up. When y'all come here, I'm going to come to the shoot around. All right, so y'all obviously feel obvious to Jordan. I'm pulling up when y'all come here. I'm gonna come to the shoot around. All right, so y'all obviously feel obvious in size upon that final as well.

How many All Stars y'all think the Cavs gonna get this year? Just one. Just one, Donovan Mitchell. I think if they get two, I think the second one might be Jared Allen. I don't think there's gonna be episode because the guards in the east are so crazy.

I hate that because I love DJ. And he's having an All Star year. Yeah, that's kind of fucked up. He's backing to his back. And I mean, Jared Allen could make it in the fours. I wouldn't matter, I love DJ. And he's having an All-Star year. Yeah, that's kind of fucked up. He's backing to his back. And I mean, Jared Allen could make it in the fours. I wouldn't matter if Evan Mobley made it either. I mean, he had a hell of a year. Damn, man. That's a crazy All-Star.

I think Evan Mobley will make it, though. 13-10. Evan Mobley at 19-8. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And he guard. He won the top of the five. You know, bigs that pass, if you're having a double-double on a good team, they don't be giving a fuck if you scoring 29.

I think having Mobley would be, I would take Mobley over to Jerrall. I think Jerrall having a great year too, but, and I see what he, I know what he does for that team, but. Yeah. I'm rolling. For sure. Listen, this weekend it was a crazy back-to-back

dispersed in the Nuggets. Man, Joker went crazy averaging 43, 13 and nine in that series. Wimby was going crazy too, 13 and nine in that series. Wimby was going crazy to 27 and 20 rebounds. And Wimby first 100 games, man, he has more points than Bron, more threes and stuff, more blocks than Hakeem, and more rebounds than Barkley. Does he have a chance to have like the greatest stat line

in NBA history? No. You don't think so? No. LeBron gonna always have the greatest stat line. Yeah, he gotta stay healthy. I don't think nobody ever gonna play as long as Bron did at that high of a level.

Yeah. Like, Wimby is cold, and I think he gonna have like 13, 14 crazy years, but he too tall, bro. Like, at some point, it's like, yeah, I mean, you got something gonna give. I don't wish that on nobody, but you know what I mean? Yeah, fall is coming. Yeah, the nature of it. Yeah. Every great athlete goes down with an injury at some point, it's like, yeah, I mean, something gonna give. I don't wish that on nobody, but you know what I mean? It's just like the nature of it.

Every great athlete goes down with an injury at some point. LeBron. There's too many seven footers that played 20 years. Yeah, only LeBron. Kevin Willis. And his arms was 6'8". That nigga just hit a growth spurt, none of those. That nigga legs grew, everything else stayed.

That nigga was a tall midget. That's crazy. We got a bad batch. That nigga arm literally. You said Kevin Willis got the 50, it's crazy. That nigga arm is crazy. Got a bad breeze. Nah, we're sad that Kevin Willis,

Hawks legend, bro. Not to Kevin Willis. But you just think about all the stars, like you can go through them. Dory broke his foot. Yeah. You know what I mean? Everybody had these.

Only Bronn will never really miss significant time with a injury. And that's why he was able to do all the things he was able to do. For sure. Every great player goes through something. I was gonna ask y'all. He wouldn't be better than Kevin Durant.

And would. Just talking about like his, you know, his first couple years, like. His first year was better than KD's. KD had a rough rookie year. Like do y'all see them potentially being better? I'm not talking about right now, I'm just talking about is he on pace to be better than Kevin Durant?

I mean, defensively, defensively, yes. He's on pace to being one of the greatest shot blockers ever. Yeah. Probably the greatest shot blocker ever. If. Probably the greatest shot blocker ever. If he averaged 20, which he's very capable of doing, and dominates defensively like that, bro, I think it's a different type of kill, but yeah, it's gonna be some.

He won't have KD scoring numbers by no means, but he'll impact the game crazy. That's a question that I have. That's a good question. KD, I don't know. That's just a tough person to put in next to Paul's, because that's the- We all like KD's I don't know. That's just some tough parts to put in next to Paul's cause that's the- We all like KD's.

I'm just talking about with the hype. It's no, it's no. It's no spot on KD over here. With the hype though. I feel like they had the same type of hype. Listen, it's two people over here you can never talk. Three. Russ, four.

D-Rose, Russell Westbrook, KD, and James Harden. Another name we can't say too. Who? Moving on. D-Wade. No smut. Oh yeah, there ain't ever no smut on D-Wade who play. Nah, we'll say that's a bot.

But yeah, that's crazy. Also, do y'all like this matchup as an upcoming rivalry situation? Who? With Yokeish and Wimpy. I ain't saying it's rivals, obviously, but like a matchup we like to see going on with each other. Nah, I know, but I'm just saying,

I like them playing against each other. Boy, but like a matchup, we like to see going against each other. Nah, I know, but I'm just saying, I like them playing against each other. Boy, if you watched that game, know you did. Juggles out there playing around, man. I like seeing that shit look like food, bro. Spurs, boy, something else. Hey, man, him and Russell Westbrook, he's like, that shit look like food. That boy, Yoke is just crazy.

But we got two stars messing up, though. We don't get too many bigs. It's both actually good. We get to see matchups. Just keep that lit on Christmas. Yeah, it look like food, boy. You see the Spurs got an upper at that roster before it becomes something.

Nah, the Spurs actually playing good. I don't wanna quit disrespecting the Spurs cause CP, I see what you're doing over there, boy. You starting to figure something out. I ain't playing bad, man. You actually having a pretty good year. I had Roach off, but y'all in the fight. They afe in the West.

Yeah, harder than the Warriors, harder than Timberwolves, harder than the Suns. He put up a good fight and he got these young boys kind of playing at a high level and he building a lot of confidence in them. I'm seeing, you know, Castle, he's starting to come out his shell a little bit. I see people starting to play a little better.

I feel like Chris Paul is the best at that. Cause that's what he did for that Thunder Roster. I mean, he's not fucked with that Thunder Roster at all. No, he, every team he goes to, bro, they become winners. Even with the Houston situation too. I mean, they was already good, but everywhere he goes, he turn it up for sure. The Chris Paul effect is real.

They might always get to the promised land, but he gonna make a team better. He definitely do. I wanna put a little more respect on that cause I swear at the beginning of the year, we wrote them off. Yeah, we thought that was Gaga. Yeah, first.

Yeah, I mean, I'm still nothing, but they are playing a whole lot better than I thought. I mean, to be eighth in the West, better than the Warriors with this young group. You got a veteran team in the Warriors and eighth, ninth, and you playing better than them. The teams that we had high expectations for, the Timberwolves, we had high expectations.

Most definitely. The Suns, all these teams that we had these high expectations for, and they playing just as good or even better Yeah, and what I know without pop to probably know saying it was someone went out with a with an injury or injury himself, bro You know saying you doing this with Chris Paul's basically other factor leader was going on this situation So that's a salute to the Spurs man. We got so some more respect Yeah, a couple guys took place yesterday Pelicans beat the Wizards yesterday 110 and 98 CJ McClellan had 25 he had 50 this weekend too. He's been hooping Trey Murphy had 22 Couple games took place yesterday. Pelicans beat the Wizards yesterday 110 to 98.

CJ McClellan had 25, he had 50 this weekend too. He been hooping, Trey Murphy had 22. He trying to get traded, boy. Yeah. See what you're doing, CJ. Auditioning, bro, go crazy, free that man. See what you're doing, boy. Another audition situation, Kakao's had 28.

Yup, they trying to, you know what I'm saying? Change locations. I see what you're doing, boy. Jazz beat the Magic 105 to 92. Damn. Yeah, shout out to Bryce. Bryce and Seba were crazy at 27. College section, they had 20 as well,

but yeah, get well soon, Magic. I don't know what that's about. Yeah, they all hurt, man. Jalen went out with back spasms. I'll tell you, they just down, man. There's just a lot of injuries over there on that Magic side. They are definitely God's stronger soldier

down there in Orlando. They going through some crazy basketball shit for sure. Kings beat the Warriors, they beat the sleeves off them yesterday. 30 ball. A fresh start for them guys, you know, Monk, Sabonis, Fox, all them, getting Doug Christie after him. It's like, shit, they playing.

I don't know if they on a high still, or it just might really, they ain't like Mike Brown. What is it? Everybody kept saying, we went in fire with y'all, playing like a goddamn bitch. Muggs is hooping. This is what y'all supposed to be doing all year. It's a different energy with Christie.

I don't, shit, I'd be kinda upset. Yeah, man. I know we was howling the words, but we hear you looking like you right so far, man. Oh, y'all, y'all do y'all thing. I don't speak too smart. I love Dre Marn, that's my guy. But you know, let's get them outfits ready.

Yeah, can't call. I used to see Dre Mon get the tech for saying boom, and then the next game he said boom every time he did something in the game. I love Dre Man. Dre Mon is great. He's never given a fuck for sure. Some other crazy things that happen in sports.

We talked about Jimmy Butler, basically said I will be happy anywhere but Miami, and Pat Riley said you will be here for at least another month because we suspended you for seven games. I think seven games is excessive, but this is Jimmy. When Jimmy's unhappy, when Jimmy doesn't get paid,

and you feel like he need to be paid, it's what he do. You know, he's gonna go crazy, he's gonna talk, he's gonna make sure there's a media frenzy around him. He know how to get what he do. You know, he's gonna go crazy. He's gonna talk. He's gonna make sure it's a media frenzy around him. He know how to get what he want. I don't agree with the way he's going about it. I mean, he didn't say anything wrong. He just said he didn't wanna be there.

He still said I was gonna show up to work. I was gonna still do my job. But when he was doing his job, he was shooting all one leg fade away. I know Jimmy. So I'm like, what I tell y'all, I'm like, they gotta trade him. When Jimmy unhappy, bro,'m like, what I tell y'all, I'm like, they gotta trade him.

When Jimmy unhappy, bro, he gonna do what he say. Well, he was in the car, bro, going to Hang Time and you was just speaking on this and then that shit happened. That shit was crazy, bro. Yeah. They gotta, I mean, I think Seven Games is way too much. I know they gonna probably,

Yeah, that's crazy. NBA gonna get some of that money back for him with a NBPA. Yeah, they did put in a request. Oh yeah, I was like, that's way too much. Seven games is crazy. He lost like three M's from that. Yeah, that's crazy. That's nuts, bro.

There's no final, I should lose $3 million, bro. I didn't say nothing crazy. I ain't hitting nobody. I ain't saying nothing out of pocket. I just said, I don't want to work here no more. What you going in there, bro? Only Mello can shoot them type of shots in the game. The one leg of the game is fire.

That ain't part of your arsenal, bro. You kind of throwing the game. Yeah, so now they gotta trade them. So it ain't even like, just to get some value back from them. Like, people going low ball now. Also, I looked at a report this off season, allegedly, the 76ers were trying to acquire him before Paul George. Okay.

And obviously it doesn't get done. So that's very interesting to see as well. So do you trade Jimmy Butler for Paul George? If I'm't get done. So that's very interesting to see as well. Just like- So do you trade Jimmy Butler for Paul George? If I'm not Miami, hell no. Yeah, you don't want that contract, but shit. But if I'm the 76ers- You really ain't gonna have many options right now.

Like, cause if you think about his trade value about to be at an all time low, because everybody know he gonna opt out after the season, even if he stay. Like he ain't signing back with Miami. So- If I'm Phing, yes. I agree.

If I'm Miami, no. I mean, if I'm Miami, no. But I'm just saying like, who's gonna really trade for Jimmy Butler right now? I mean, unless somebody like, yo, we on a brink of thinking we can win a championship. Like if the Warriors trade for Jimmy Butler, do they get really better?

Yes. Like significantly better, do you think so? What's going on everybody? This is Justin Pinnock from John Boy Media the host of the football today podcast Alongside Bobby Skinner and Chris Rose.

Well, if you do it at the end, I had the trace in that hole. No, bro, if you said if it's like that, then they can probably low bottom here and if I'm thinking low bar, I'm not thinking this wig and cominga. Maybe if it's cominga.

OK, cool, because you probably it's Kaminga, okay, cool. Cause it's not like I act like I don't want to pay him anyway. So then if that's the case, then so be it. If they can get, the money ain't going to add up, but you can, I mean, a lot of stuff gotta go on with Kaminga and just Jimmy. But if I'm Philly, I'm like throwing a kitchen sink, take Paul George and we, that's a win.

And we giving y'all something else for Jimmy. Like, I know y'all don't want the contract. We don't want it no more either, but please. Too bad. You know what I mean? Like, please, I don't know. That's the, I'll try to work that out, but. For sure.

Well, I'm expecting to see more updates from this story coming soon as well. Chris Haynes reported yesterday night that the Suns are officially moving Bill and Nurtrix to the bench. Reports of locker room tension, uneasiness going on, man. Get well soon for Bud, man. He walking through some shit.

I knew it. I told you, Bud. Nah. Nah. You said, no. I said, Bud don't coach a lot of superstars, didn't I say? I said, he do way better with less. I said, you said that, but you also said,

nah, Bud cool, Bud gonna get them together. He is cool, Bud don't give a fuck. That's why Bill and Nurtrix go to the bitch. He's like, you know what? I'm gonna do what I do best, cause if I get fired, I'm gonna do it far my way. He don't, y'all don't feel what I got going on. Let's try something different.

I want the Plumlee, Tyus Jones. He probably gonna start the young rookie bull. Right down here. He probably like, yeah, I need more continuity. Like this ain't really no continuity right here. So I already knew. He do a lot better with Les, trust me. I believe that, but yeah, it's looking real spooky

over there at Phoenix, man. Get well soon for sure. Tyra Q hints at it. So do you trade Nerkets and Bill for Jimmy? Yeah. Hell yeah. That's a good trade for Miami? My soul.

Well, we ain't think about Miami's best interests, but getting Brad Bill would definitely help them. But the Suns, that's a lick for them. Yeah, it be. Now, your one, two, three is, yeah, one, two, three, four. I don't know how Bradley Bill and Tyler Hero gonna mesh, but I know Bradley Bill wanna be in Miami. You gonna have Point Hero and then Brad the 2?

Is that kind of similar to what D-Book and situation is? And then Bami? Oh, that's a fire 3 if they can figure that out. If Phoenix can get that, that's a nice starting roster, bro. Yeah, Jimmy with KD is tough. Tyus, Book, Jimmy, KD. You just gotta get a big.

That's the tough. I got Plumlee. You gonna have to get another big in the West. But that's a solid ass start lineup for sure. Yeah, I'm just, I think that's just better for Miami, but. Yeah, if you're gonna do Point Hero and let Bill walk out the two, I'm something on that. We'll see for sure.

Tariq Hill is basically hitting out, he's just luring the leader, Dolphins, I don't blame him. Why? Yeah, I'm't blame him. Why? Yeah, I'm with Jax. Because your quarterback is, bro. Tua on his last leg. Bro, he's on, he's on, he's gonna be on documentary, bro, in about 10 years, and y'all gonna wonder why.

I don't blame him, bro. He left Kansas City for this. He's like, yeah, I don't like this mediocre shit. All right, man, I don't wanna see Tua shaking. I mean, where he gonna go now, though? I mean, how many years he got left on this deal? You know, football different though. Yeah, he's gonna be on toilet paper.

I think he's going to year three this deal. Okay, he signed a will. Maybe. Oh, let's see. I'm not sure. It don't matter. What is it, man? Huh?

Tiree. Tiree. Now, the tour just got paid. Yeah, it don't matter what tour do. Yeah, it's up. Stay healthy. Please. He got, oh, this is last year's deal. Yeah, it don't matter what tour though. Yeah, it's up. Stay healthy. Please. You got, oh this is last year's deal.

Yeah, so it's- You going on the tours last year? Free to real. Go back to Kansas City, fuck it. Nah, you can't- You got paid, you got the rings, and then go back. You can't leave. You can't go back there.

Why can't you? Why everybody keep getting the chance to get, I mean go to the motherfuckin' Chiefs, bro. Somebody got David Stern, man. If he go back the motherfucker Chiefs, bro. Somebody got David Stiron, man. If he go back to the Chiefs, bro. That's hard. If he go back to the Chiefs, that'd be crazy. Go get paid.

You already got a chip. He went down to Miami, had his three years, got paid, and went back to playing serious football. Turn up, that's hard. But we'll see. Three kills is definitely cold for sure. And the draw male getting fired from the Patriots after one season is criminal.

Man, that's wild, bro. That's criminal. Wow, I seen that. He shouldn't have won that last game. I was going to say him winning that game yesterday in the mean least game that lost him the number one pick. I can imagine that that was the final straw.

You post it, tank that one, my boy. You blew the organization up. He probably knew something. That's probably why he knew something. A lot of people were suggesting like, Hey, you know what I'm saying? He knew the fix was in. So he was like middle finger on my way out. Yeah, he knew something, bro. I respect it if it was like that. Like they don't fire suggesting like, hey, you know what I'm saying? He knew the fix was in, so he was like, middle finger on my way out.

He knew something, bro. I respected if it was like that. Like, they gonna fire me anyway, win the game for me. Because you usually in tune with your organization on the plan. You know what I'm saying? Especially when it's coming down, I had a chance to get the number one pick.

So he like, oh, y'all finna fire me? Motherfuckers in there telling. He's like, oh, no, we finna got them glory roll this bitch. That remind me when I was in Atlanta, they told us like, they ain't tell us a thing, but they basically was telling us like we couldn't play. Like people had to sit out and shit, kinda like, yo, you not playing this game or whatever.

And Bud was like the complete opposite. He was like, man, fuck that. It was his first year. They was trying to basically get Yanis. So they didn't wanna have a high enough pick. They wanna like stay in the middle of the pack like 14 so they can get Yanis. And Bud was like, fuck that.

We're making the playoffs. Then he started playing us and we ended up being the AFC. That's when we played the Pacers or whatever. But they was trying to keep us out of the playoffs so we could get Yanis. And we basically fucked that up. Bud fucked up generational money. Oh God, Hawks been fucked up shit.

Wow. Yeah. It ain't get tricky like that cause imagine number one pick, I mean there's still two, but you know what I'm saying? It's different if you could've got Travis Hunter. They can't, I think they still gonna get Travis Hunter.

Cause I think the number one pick is the Titans, right? Yeah, I don't think they gonna take Travis. You think they gonna take Travis? Shit, you never know what that works. Who they pointing, they just drafted a quarterback. Will Levis is cheeks. Yeah, but- I'm getting Travis Hunter. I'm getting the best player. You think they'll draft Shadour or they gonna give Will a chance?

If I'm them in their situation, I'm getting Travis Hunter. You get a generational player. I mean, obviously you can get a quarterback, but look at y'all track record with that. You can go get a serviceable one. You go get a Travis Hunter. I'm gonna get Travis Hunter and try to get Sam Darnum. You go get a Travis Hunter. I'm gonna get Travis Hunter and try to get Sam Darnum. Why not? Spend some money. That's a hell of a stimulus.

Spend some money, man. Yeah, that's- Stimulus like a motherfucker. Yeah. Or trade for a dude from last year from Minnesota got dragged in. Man, Shadora go. Go right now with the one and no man.

Are you trying to say that boy to Cleveland? Oh my God, he go to Cleveland. He wanna go to New York though. Get well soon you go to Cleveland. That's what he really wanna go though. He said my boy to Cleveland, that's tough. He wanna go to the Giants. But yeah, dry mail man, that's crazy.

The lack of opportunity that, you know what I'm saying, black head coaches having in the field for him to get dealt that hand is crazy, bro. You think if Cleveland try to take Shadura till you think Deon steps in, it's like, nah, we ain't doing that. Yeah, he might do it. Manny, Manny daddy did.

If he fire up, he did. You think he will though? He should. I hope he does. Just to get him to New York. I mean, if you got the pool. If you can put your kids in the best position, you do it.

I talk about nepotism all the time. Yeah, if you can put your kid in the best position, you do it, cause shit. But do you draft him with Deshaun Watson making that much money? Y'all owe him? Yes. They don't give a fuck, bro.

They don't even think about it. Do you wave Deshaun Watson at this point? Just like let him go? I think they was building up stuff last year to be able to do it, so we'll see. She wave him, physically. For sure. Get the fuck out of here.

He said physically wave. That's crazy. I'm gonna get y'all opinions about some games tonight. And I fuck with E-Wat, but that, I'm talking about- It was my favorite a physical wave, that's crazy. I'm gonna get y'all opinions about some games tonight. And I fuck with you a lot, but that, I'm talking about from that. It was my favorite quarterback. Nah, I love it. We want you on the show, but from organizations

that point, they sick ill, bro. We paid you the craziest contract with no, yeah, get the fuck out. Any way we can get from under this contract, we will do it, bro. Sometimes you gotta take your ills, bro. You know what I mean? They ain't never getting away from that contract.

They gonna pay all that. That's what I'm saying. When they try to bring up the other stuff, they trying to do a lot of the field stuff. Yeah, they try to do some off the court shit. Yeah, they try to get out of that. They don't care about what really happened, by the way. Just take your L, bro.

Pay my man his bread and just build for the future, man. My nigga on trips with his lady. Got the Hermit sheets and covers, nigga. Liv, they owe. They owe you some more money. Put all that spot on your name, they ruined your image bro. The NFL fucked your image up. So fuck them, fuck the brown. Preferably the Houston Texas too, but yeah.
