Listen man, some crazy basketball took place yesterday. Let's get get straight to it man. I don't know what the hell was going on in Boston yesterday but it was definitely a belt to add situation 128 to 118 the Celtics get 240 point performances from Peyton Pritchard and Derrick White yesterday that shit was crazy please tell me y'all saw that. I'll call it glimpses of it. I ain't gonna lie I ain't peeped that but when I seen the stats, I had to go watch the highlights. Man, Peyton Pritchard winning something yesterday, 43 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, 10 to 17 from three. Derrick White, 41, nine from 17 from three.

First time this has ever happened in Celtics history, and this Denver happened for role players. That shit is crazy. Yeah, I think that's the biggest highlight of it. That's how you know they scary, bro. That's how you know the NBA is crazy when you got two guys on one team shooting 17-30s. At one point in the world, 17-30s was like the total team.

Yeah. And they might've been wild in that night. Yeah. Especially in the 90s. For sure. That New York Knicks team never shot 16-30s. I'm done with the 90s, sure that New York mix team never What's so crazy about this if this was JP and JT we would still be like damn they really went crazy the fact that it was Peyton Pritchard And Derek White is crazy. Yeah, that's ain't special man. All right, man. Derek White's helly bread Fonte who is a

Spain preacher Be that's B-Rag. The Peyton Pritchard B-Rag. Malibu's most wanted. Malibu's most wanted. Damn, y'all can't even, y'all can give me, I'm gonna give PPL fuck with you, bro. Yeah, in fact, this my guy. I'm gonna call you, I'm gonna give you Tom Cruise at least,

No, no, Paul Wall, Paul Wall. Yeah, Paul Wall, Paul Walker was swaggy too though. Faux Fauxs I'm Tipping. Who had the best one in that song? Shit, I can't remember that song. Oh, you just respect, remember you going to Houston. Faux Fauxs I'm Tipping. Switch out, it's gonna be on your ass. This nigga's locked up you going to Houston. Four fours I'm tipping. Switch outs gonna be on your ass. Four fours I'm tipping.

This nigga's locked up. Free to real. Now I'm gonna go with Mike Jones had the best version. Oh man. I'll guess that was tough. I don't remember. But Mike Jones used to get off on high school though. Crippin' Luke Cook Slump Thug had the best version.

Crack it off. Paul Wall slid two on the low. That was my favorite rapper. She remember that was my favorite rapper. It was a real song. Not out an all-friar song. Not an all-friar song, but out of them, bro. Outta Houston. Yeah.

That's an elite rap song, by the way, too. Yeah, this is a random thought, but I see him on that show. On Poor Miles? My boy the GOAT. Hey, that's my type of speed. It will always be respect on this pod for Slim Thug. Yeah. I think I was the first to see it.

He's a wild boy. If I would go out. I'm going out like Slim Thug. I like it because of the confidence. He said, I mean, shoot or shoot. I was in both of y'all days. I liked it, I liked it. And how they looked at it, they was like,

damn, we white fuck with shit. You know why he called? Because he said it's a bullshit and didn't reconvince him to go along with the bullshit and that's why I fuck with him for it. I don't fuck with him. For sure. But all right, that was 520.

For sure, man. Peyton Pritchett, six man of the year, you getting 40 like this, bro. Yeah. Fucking why not? I think it might be solidifying him, six man of the year. I was leaning toward Malik Beasley, but he started a lot. But I don't know.

That's still a up-and-air conversation. But Peyton Pritchett, but he started a lot. But I don't know, that's still a up in the air conversation, but Peyton Pritchard, what he's doing off the bench. Yeah, it's probably his to lose. For sure man, obviously they get this big of a win, getting there, but the rest of the players basically, shout out to Efreny Simons, who played out yesterday, he had 30 pieces as well, shooting sharp catch in the stride as well with 25 and six.

Like you said man, I mean listen, I know it was different of a game, but they've been playing a lot better. Trailblazers, Chauncey doing a good job with them young boys, bro. Man, that's one of my favorite teams to watch in the league. They got some exciting young players. Like you said, Simon Sharp.

Couple capable bigs on their team. They a cool league pass team to watch though. They going to give you some exciting games. Like this wasn't a blowout game really. Nah, nah. I mean it was a competitive competitive game obviously they were high from 30 but you know sharp assignments was hoover. For sure man. Love to the trail blasters for sure man. All into the Cavs man first team in the NBA to clinch a playoff spot 12

game win streak man got the victory over the Heat yesterday 112 to 107 Naveh Metro hooped out yesterday 26 and 7 DG had 15 to 10 BAM did this thing with 34 and 12 a man Cavs got the most win streaks man Besides the 0607 maps like you said every time they lose one game They just go on a double-digit win streak man. Can Darius Garland just have 15 and 10 in the playoffs? No, no No, I got a y''all gotta speak on that. What do they need from him? I mean, right now that's all they need.

But in the playoffs series, Donovan Mitchell is gonna be great, but Darius Garland's gonna have to be great to beat the Celtics. And every time I say, every time they play the Celtics, he never plays really well. Every time I watch he be missing little floaters and layups and things, stuff that he normally hit.

So against the Celtics, to beat them, and I think that's the team they're going to face in the Eastern Conference Finals, possibly. They're going to have to, he going to have to play great for them to beat them. Yeah, I don't think he has to be able to contribute the ball that much, like 10 assists, I mean, that's cool, but I'm going to need to dub,

which he's very capable of getting, but you're going to have to consistently score 20. Hilton and Diamond, I mean, you're're gonna have to consistently score 20. Him and Donovan Mitchell are gonna have to combine for 50 points again. So they're gonna have to be playing like almost JB and Jason Tatum. Yeah, but however they wanna form it, they gotta combine for 50 points.

Yeah. If that's Donovan Mitchell getting 30, he getting 20, whatever, 25, 25, they gotta combine for 50 points to be in a series with them, Or they might get swept. We just talked about Derrick White and Peyton Pritchard both getting 40 in peace. Yeah.

Look, this roster outside of Donovan, I don't think there's anybody there you would say comfortably could get me 40. I'm not saying they're going to do it on a regular, but we ain't seen that shit. They're going to have to play at a crazy level, which they can do, but they just going to have to maintain it

to be the team like that. Yeah. I just wanted to ask y'all that. That's a fair question for sure, man. DG's definitely capable for sure, but they just gonna have to maintain it to be the team like that. I just wanted to ask y'all that. That's a fair question for sure, man. DG's definitely capable for sure, but like you said, they gotta make it happen. Potential first round matches for them, maybe the Heat, maybe the Magic,

maybe the Hawks, maybe the Bulls. We ain't worried about none of that situation for them at all. But like you said, I think they only worried about the Celtics in their conference finals right now. I ain't gonna lie though, I think they'll beat the Magic, but that just ain't a team with the matchups with Pablo. I know his name's Pablo.

Pablo, he's a matchup nightmare. Yeah. Him and Franz, like, I'm sure they probably will beat him in a series. That's just not a first round matchup I would want because as you go on, the more games you play, the harder it gets. So if you go into a six game series with the Magic

and the Celtics sweep the Heat or whoever they play, it's like, yeah, the more games you add onto your body, that second round matchup with them and the Bucks or the Pacers right now, it's gonna be a tough matchup too. That's probably gonna go six or seven games. right now, it's going to be a tough matchup too. That's probably going to go six or seven games. So now you get in these long drawn out series while these Celtics going to sweep through

whatever they're going to do. They already proved it. Now you got to meet them. That's just more games with risk for injury. So I don't know. Man, for sure man. Evan Mopi man, how y'all like his development this season? Is he the, like we talk about DG,

is he the one that gotta kill as well? Yeah, he gotta have big games. Play under Kenny Atkinson, he's in that, opened up his game. We looked at him as a big, now we look at him as a point forward type of guy. He bring the ball up, he make plays. But Kenny Atkinson opened his game up.

We all knew he was capable. even when he was at USC, we thought he was really good. But him shooting more threes like this year, and playing with the ball in perimeter. I mean, he's having a hell of a year, obviously all-star. Probably one of the most improved players in the league. For sure, man, shout out to Evan Mobley. Yeah, I like Evan Mobley.

Yeah, man. He gonna have to kill though. Most definitely. Yeah, I like Evan Mobley. Yeah, man. He gonna have to kill though. Most definitely. Yeah, he gotta have, he gotta have 20 point nights. Yeah, not every night, but we need you. I ask that is who 20 would be more important in the series against Celtics, him or DG? DG. DG.

Okay. Because he just fills all the voids and everything else though. Yeah, because you can almost guarantee he gonna get 15, 15, eight and seven, 15, eight and five. Yeah, that's a lot of money. Something low down there. But it's effective.

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. If various Garland averages 20, but on games against the Celtics, he struggles sometimes, man. Yeah. Sure. So. You think that's because bigger guards is? For sure.

You know, you got Drew Halle, like he playing against a five, they switch one through five. At times he playing against Al Horford, Porzingis. And then if he's not on them, it's Drew Holiday, JB, JT. There is Garland shorter than me. All these dudes is six, five and up. With size, like, way 220.

Like, Drew Halle like 225. You know what I mean? I weigh 207, Drew Halle like 225. Yeah, they're white, 6'5", 210. Yeah, that's different. Olympians has their backcourt, bro. Yeah, man, different. Olympians as their backcourt bro. Yeah man, for sure man. Shout out to the Cavs. Nuggets took care of business yesterday against the Kings 116-110.

R-Dub, Russell Westbrook had 25 yesterday. Jermall Murray had 24, Yocuch had 22, 15 and 6. Demar DeRozan went crazy with 35, 6 and 5. Zach LaVey had 20. Yokoch had 22, 15 and 6. Demar DeRozan went crazy with 35, 6 and 5. Zach Levy had 20. I think Demar DeRozan is almost top 25 in score or right outside of it after yesterday's performance. Special talent.

Special assistant man, shout out to the family. Yeah, one of the best scorers of all time for sure. Special talent. Yeah, I forgot exactly where. He did all that with not shooting through. That's crazy. SGA kind of remind me of him. Yeah.

27 there he is. Yup, right behind Steph. And that's somebody you wouldn't think is up there. If you just thinking about Demar DeRose, we like, damn, he really top 30 ever. And then we talk about Russ. Ever in the NBA. Russ right there at 21, bro.

Yeah, but I'm saying Russ is more. He was in the MVP. Yeah, for sure, for sure. For a player like that, Demar DeRose must be top 30 ever, bro, that's raw. He never got no real high accolades in the league. Like if you ain't know it, like just from a basketball, like I'm a basketball hitter,

obviously I know how cold Demar DeRozan is, but if you didn't know, you would think Jamal Crawford probably had more points than Demar. Yep, that's a fact. That's a fact. So shout out to Demar for sure, bro. Just cause Jamal known for getting buckets

probably more than DeMora is, but. More bigger highlight moments, though. 50 point games, DeMora 50 point game ain't like a Jamal, Gronk 50 point game. It's different. Most definitely. That's the highlight factor. And people discredited it because of how

they see this may have ended, but DeMora DeRozan was really whooping shit in Toronto. But he got more points than Iverson. Yeah, the list is crazy. My boy Robert Parrish is up there at 32. Nigga, he played 1,600 games. So what? God damn.

You a legend. Can you scroll down to the bottom of the list? My uncle loved that man. I'm sure Uncle didn't know that. Robert Parrish. Joe Johnson up there. Joe Johnson, 49. Dale Amarcus, I just got hella buckets. Yeah, bro

Robert Parrish play 1600 I try to water down my stats like I do in this meeting So if Robert Parrish fill away about player sitting down you gotta be respected no I need to play more games than bra. I did read. Yeah, I didn't know that y'all basketball here Is y'all didn't know that hit point more games cream is crazy I need to be a real y'all. Yeah, we got it Louie's you have to show love to Robert Parrish, bro. You have to be highlighted 16 shots of my uncle. They love him for real. That's crazy chief

Yeah, then I know why more games the bride and deadly did the same amount of damage and then we're 700 less days, bro I'm sleep, bro. That's not fair, bro and then we're 700 less games bro. I'm sleep bro. That's not fair bro. Damn Adrian Denley. See y'all was mad at me cause I was having no strength. Hey Adrian Denley.

Hey he's. Adrian Denley nasty for that though. You really got buckets. Yeah. Damn if there were a thousand games, you was killing. I don't know how I was supposed to do it bro. You was going crazy.

You was going to work. Could you scroll down to Elgin Baylor. I think you played 846. Hey they was going to work. Yeah, Niggas was hooping. That's crazy. They was going to work, boy. Hooping in the Drunken Love era, getting to it.

That's crazy, man. Man, R.P., man, that's what's up. For sure, man, y'all crazy. I don't know what's gonna go happening for the Nuggets in the postseason but them losing KCP, I think they kind of filled that void with Christian Brown. He's having a hell of a season right now. He's playing good. I mean, averaging 15. Shooting better from the third base.

He's not known as a three-point shooter. Like, that's one thing KCP did. He made timely shots. I think Brown probably is a better player right now Offensively, but his three-point shooting. I mean shooting 36% is not bad, but I don't think he's known for that Defensively he competes But I mean I got what I understand why they did I think he could fill that void I think he's just as good as KCP, but they just had a cool synergy with KCP. It just felt good. I mean, they won a championship together, so.

Most definitely. Show, man. Shout out to the Nuggets. Who's the hotter team right now, the Nuggets or the Warriors? Better or hotter? Hotter. The Warriors, the hottest team out.

I wouldn't dare to say better, because, you know. The Warriors, the hottest team, just because where they was at when they first got Jimmy, they was in the tenth. Like the Nuggets been solid all year. For sure. Warriors started off hot,

they went on a terrible losing streak. Jimmy come, they paused, Jimmy came to the team. They go on a little run. They only had six games back from their position. That's crazy. We were talking about them almost a month and a half ago. Yeah. They doing had six games back from their position. That's crazy. We were talking about that almost a month and a half ago. They doing that thing man, no smut. For sure man.

Another good game yesterday from SGA, 41 piece. They get the win over the Grizzlies. What's your starting to get ridiculous bro? 41 to eight bro. Like that's the office for them bro. It's getting that regular. Is it really like, let's be honest. I remember James Harden, one of my favorite players.

Yes sir. Do he score easier than James Harden? No. You don't think so? James Harden changed the game. I'm not saying he didn't change the game but James Harden shot a lot of threes. And free throws. Yes. I think that's where the only I'm going with James but I think the only reason why people might feel away. Y'all doing efficient. No, I'm just saying James got a lot, half of James' points every night was free throws. Free throws and threes.

With how? Nah, I feel you. He feel he. He was supposed to cock who's a clip when he go out with his hands behind his back. Yeah, he figured it out. He knew how to manipulate the game. Yeah.

And that's part of the game. If you figuring out all the nuances and all the things that make you a better player He figured it out and mastered it. How many free throws he hit? Listen I scored 10,000 points in my career. He made 8,000 free throws 8,000 free throws. You wasn't in the gym one of those days. 8,000 free throws. See, that's that conservative shit. Oh my God. Take a look back at yourself.

How many free throws did Bronn make? You didn't work hard enough. 8,591. Cody LeBron, Moses Malone, James Harden. James Harden's a goat. And my SGA could never. Come on, and James Harden played. How many years brah put?

22 and James are gonna be like you're 16 15. Yeah, come on man Yeah, that's a lot of fucking free throw. He changed the game bro. Listen We can't say his name where Paul Malone is the only person with more than them three. We can't say his name here. Okay. His fritos is different. Brian has attempted a lot of fritos though, y'all.

He just ain't make them. He attempted 12,000. Know what I'm saying? James Hard hit 8,000 of 9,300. Now y'all mad I'm making them. Nah, I ain't mad. Damn, Brian really fucked up the bag. You can make fritos, Brian.

Y'all scoring title with a bend up. My song, bro. But that's what they used to always be on him about. But bruh still to go fuck the free throws, nigga. On God, bruh, I'm just thinking about me, like, yeah. SGA the way he scored though. I'm not mad at y'all for saying that though, bro. I think both.

He get it in more ways to me. They both unbelievable. But the unbelievable but the way I watch him I'm like damn man. He shoot a lot of free throws too. He definitely has a super strong whistle for sure. Yeah he get a lot of free throws too. But I misheard you though. You said easier.

I can eat a bite. Cause James Harden, his was based off pick and roll or isolation, but it was tough. Like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I got fouled. You teach your son how to hoop like SGA. You pray your son could play SGA. No, I'm just saying, I'm talking about the mechanics of basketball. You can't teach your kid how to be James Harkness. No, I'm saying keeping it simple, you would show him a tape of SGA.

Keep basketball simple. No, I ain't gonna lie, if I was trying to teach a kid how to play basketball for real, I'd probably show him Peyton Pritchard. No, I'm talking about a different football. No, I'm just saying, we just talking about that concept. Oh, okay.

I'd be like, hey, if you want to play basketball really good, you should play like him. See, that's my problem. I'm going straight to Swaggy P. Howlice. This what we all. Cause you gotta think. That's right. Well, break it down, bro.

I want to hear you out. He do everything perfect. This is not even trying to be a fan, nothing. But like, when I used to even watch him work out, like he can dribble, he can pass, he can shoot. And he's small, but he do everything off two feet. He rarely go to the basket off one foot. Like he might shoot a floater here and there,

but he always play off two feet. He's always down, ready to shoot at any time. He's always on balance. I would teach my kid how to play basketball at Payford. So he's not the sexiest game, but it's the most effective game. So fundamentally sound you think he's up there. To a T, to a T.

That's an Indian ass basketball. Albums, that sounds okay. He's so fundamentally sound, he's strong, he's always low, always on balance, shot ready at all times. Like. I can rock with that. I swear, if I was trying to teach a kid how to play

basketball, I'd be like, yeah, Payton Fritchell. Shit, it ain't matter at all. But you saw it in real time too, so it's different. Like, coming off screens, he knew how to do everything perfect, he's just short, and not as, he's not that, oh shit, he's not that as athletic as everybody else, you know what I mean? He's kinda slow, don't jump that high,

but he can make shit happen. Sure, if I'm in, it'll take you a long way, as you can tell. Yeah, you just have 40. Damn, Thunder's having one of the last eight games, Chet and Hardenstein figuring it out, but the Grizzies are three in the last 10. Damn, that's kicking my ass, ass, ass, ass.ies are three in the last 10 damn not to kick my ass

That or the barbeque short a video Oh So we've said donations jet was poppin story time for the ten days crazy As the comedian, bro, tell me a joke. Bro, I don't know. Go ask Nick. They don't listen, bro. We don't make up stories, bro. We don't come in here and say. Yeah, people think it's fake.

Yeah, we don't come in here and say, tell that story, Jeff. We have organic conversations, man. Y'all thought we talked about prep for Big Sean conversation this morning? But I told y'all, people really think our show is scripted, bro. No, bro. We don't do that. It's crazy, bro. I got some news for you.

Like, that Gatorade story that literally- Mike Will Wish. Mike Will Wish is a scripted show. We probably would have way more- Just everything. Yeah. We would be the pivot. That's that structure.

What do you guys see to the people? Man, y'all hate it. I love Mike, man. What do you guys teach other people? Man, y'all hate it. I love Mike, man. That's my guy. Shout out to Freaky Mike, man, for sure. James Harden, man. Speaking of that, with 50-piece yesterday, after Malik Beasley said he was easy to guard,

he found out for sure that he took care of the Pistons yesterday, one-twenty-three to one-fifteen. Again, James Harden, 50 piece. 55-4. Wonder why he said that though. But the thing about Malik Beasley, you've never been known as a defender. That's like me saying, yeah, I can guard him.

Nigga, you've never been a good defender. It's like Malik Beasley last year, with the Bucks saying, yeah, we can't wait to see them in the playoffs, and then he got cooked against the Pacers. Like, Malik, you're having the hell of a year, though. Hoop out, my boy. Oh, you hooping, but you was definitely not known for defense.

It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me.

It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us. But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me. I'm Ashlyn Harris.

K-Cutting him winning it, most improved. I don't like that. I mean, he's me. I'm Ashlyn Harris. K cutting him, winning it, most improved. I don't like that. I mean, he's had a great year, but I'm gonna go with Norman Powell. He might be the oldest most improved, but he having a heck of a year. Missed too many games. I think the last game he missed.

Well damn, Norman, you fucked it up. Fucked the bag up. So most improved. K deserved it. K will be all NBA. Yeah, he'll be honored the right way. Don't give him an MIP, give him an MIP. I love the MIP though too, because you have a bringing that

like the franchise is improving, your game is getting better, you're getting a little bit more respect around the league, like this one of the ones. But if you're a 20 point scorer already, or did you really improve? I mean, you got better obviously, we see he got better. I think that's more of a team thing too, bro.

But I'm saying he really like most improved. I mean he averaged 20 last year That's what I think is more of a team thing though. Yeah, I'm averaging 25. That's a leap in the NBA Yeah, like that ain't really that yeah, bro. He and you the number one pick. That's the jump you post to me and respectfully That's beneath him bro. He's an all-star RNBA player, bro. He don't give a damn about the MIP. Give it to somebody who probably made a drastic change, but that's cake on him. Let me think who made a drastic jump this year.

I don't know, yeah. If he was definitely, should've won it for me if he did. If he could've stayed. Maybe like- Let's Google see who was some candidates for show. MIP candidates. RJ Barrett. Tyler Herro,

a man Thompson. Give me, yeah I'm gonna- Dyson Daniels, Jaylen Williams, Victor Wimiana. Hell nah, I'm gonna take, I'll take Dyson Daniels or or Tom, Jaylen Williams made a big jump too though.

Hell yeah. Yeah, I'll take Dyson Daniels or Jacklin Williams. I wish that Pete could have got it, because he should get it. Yeah. For sure. Hey man, shout out to the Clippers though. Couple games took place last night as well, see, hey y'all, know what I'm saying, go through.

Timber Woods beat the Hornets 125 to 110. A.E. had 29 to six. J.R. had 29, 10 and nine. J. Mcdonalds had 29 and 10 as well. That's a hell of a trio right there. Yeah, goddamn, everybody was hooping out yesterday. Mello 28, 10 and six, and Bridges had 23 and nine. And y'all see LeVar Ball what's his name? LaVar Ball.

Damn, I didn't know he lost his foot. Yeah, it's happening. Damn, sorry about that OG. Nah, for sure. It looked like he was in good spirits though. Yeah, for sure, he back joking and stuff as well, but man, shout out to LaVar, man. Damn, I hate that though, man.

Yeah, we don't know what happened, but prayers out for LaVar, man. We still rocking with you nasty, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Belt to Ass situation, Bucks to carry carry the mass 137 to 107 yandas 32 15 to 4 Join that 20k club last night with the crazy performance dame 34 and 5 and clay Thompson had a vintage game with 28 20k points or yandas. Yes a lot of points man a lot of buckets No, shout out to y'all. I's a big feat to overcome in the league.

Yeah. What year is this for him? Oh. I'd be like, at least 10 plus. 10. For sure. That's hard. 20K is crazy.

A lot of buckets. I'm going to go to his free throw to the Spirits. Hopefully he can get up to 40, do another 10 in the league. 11. Yeah, 11. Yeah, man. Dang. 11. 11? Yeah, man. Dang, well.

Now that's a probably be at 25k points if he made free throws. I'm sure he missed 4,000. Now, wow, 4,000 is a lot of missed free throw. I mean. Shit, how I mean you sure? He probably missed at least. Three.

2,500. Ah, shit, I would be surprised if it's lower than that. Shit, he's 70%, 69%. He missed 2,100. Damn. 2,100. He missed 2,100. Damn. Shout out to the Greek Freak, man, 20K. 20K, man, shout out to him.

For sure, Wizards beat the Jazz yesterday, 125 to 122. The tank off for sure, Jazz said, we will capture the flag. All right, man, a couple games tonight, we want to see how y'all feel about it. Yeah, but the Wizards is crazy. The 125 to 122 was crazy. Like.

They throwing in the towel, man. Bro, I don't know what I'd do if I like I never mind Nah you wouldn't care if you getting paid Yeah I would bro At this point of the year though bro I'm saying Yeah in March. Nah I'm too much of I never been in a situation when I was on a losing team

You've never been on a team this bad Nah I was hurting Minnesota so I didn't care that we lost, I was having surgery, so I wasn't there. But that was it. I mean, yeah, your career for sure, you ain't never been a part of it. I don't know what that feel like. Like, yeah, this shit over with.

Like, with 20 games left? Yeah, bro, it's pretty much. Bro, that was over at Christmas. Yeah, like, what does that feel like, bro? Hit the group chat, what we doing in June it was over at Christmas. Yeah, like what does that feel like? Hit the group chat, what we doing in June? We can book now. Yeah, we will be there. That is crazy.

May 1st, we will be available, for sure. I wonder like how Chris Middleton feel. Oh, that's a drastic change. Yeah, like you always been competing for like playoffs. Competing for something. It's probably good for him cause he can probably get his ankles right. He can probably like,

yeah, I can get ready for next year, but like. Mentally, he probably don't like it. He don't like the state that the team is in for sure. Yeah, I might have to. He deserves better. I might have to hit Chris up, man. Listen, him to the Knights watch Bull to die. Yeah.

That's crazy, man. Get well soon for sure. Couple games tonight, we'll see how I feel about Bulls at Magic. Y'all like the Bulls, but I'm rolling with the Magic. I don't like the Bulls. No man, I ain't one of your teams no more. The Bulls always win games, I picked them out to win.

I'm not picking them tonight, so I'm going with the Magic. Respect, God. Pacers at Hawks. You know how that club gets you. A-Town stuff, Young Blood. A-Town stuff, young blood. A-Town stuff, Sean Paul gonna play. You don't give a dang, you don't give a.

Yeah, that niggas went out last night, man. Hey, you out of pocket, man. I know them Pacer boys went out. They went out, boy. Have you seen our team? No, they was not. Yeah, they was. They was a pink pony.

I don't know what that is. The Ruby Rats. Hey, you don't give a damn, young boy. Told y'all to run that cathedral. We on playback with that game tonight by the way too. So yeah, we on playback with it tonight. So keep it cute. 76ers at Celtics.

Why I even say that. We're supposed to be on playback with that. But shout out to the 60s. 76ers really did fuck up a lot of national TV games. We should have did the Knicks-Lakers. No, they're at Lakers, that's why we didn't do that. Oh, they're at Lakers. Yeah, I won't be there, I'll be past house.

Yeah, we know what time it is. For sure, Warriors at Nets. Warriors. Rockets at Pelicans. The game, Rockets though. Trey killed him, like, bruh. Let's go, Zion. Okay, I'm gonna go Rockets.

Nicks at Lakers. Can't play? No, no. We want the Lakers. Yeah, Lakers for sure. All right, Super Chat. You see Harz manipulation of the zero step everywhere. His low pickup gathers to the rim of his step backs.

Is he? Most influential guard. Is he low key the most influential guard? Oh, he's definitely has his influence on him. Yeah, he definitely left his print on the game, but most influential, no. I'm gonna say Allen Iverson or Steph Curry. Just based off the way people play,

like Iverson, obviously people were doing crossovers, but Iverson made it a thing. Everybody had to have a crossover. Steph Curry made it cool to be a small guard and be able to shoot. Like if you could shoot, you could play. And the way he cut, move, handles, pass, all that stuff. But I feel him, I understand what he's saying

with all the picking up the low points and all that stuff, like bumps and all that stuff that James Harden was doing. But I mean, it's a good debate. For sure. Jamal asks, Jeff, you still think Yannis is better than LeBron like you said on the OG's podcast? Whew, I said Yannis is better than LeBron. Boy, I ain't say that shit.

So, I'm going to have to take the receipts on that one. We'll report back on that with tomorrow. I probably said more dominant. Probably, nor you. You probably shook the rim with that. It probably was early. What time we did the OG podcast? To be fair, respect the shots of the OGs.

That is a heavy edited podcast, by the way. I don't remember. It really is. To be fair, respect the shots of the OGs. That is a heavy edited podcast, by the way. So. I don't remember. It really is. So there's no telling that's why there's no matter what. Remember that conversation? What's I saying?

He was better than LeBron like at this moment. Probably. Probably. Yeah, we got to respect that conversation. But. You read me, you say some shit. I don't remember you saying. Yeah.

I probably say I'll take Giannis. I can remember probably saying I'll take Giannis over LeBron right now. Yeah. And yeah, I'll still remember you saying. Yeah. I probably said I'll take Giannis, I can remember probably saying I'll take Giannis over to LeBron right now. Yeah. And yeah, I'll still take Giannis over to LeBron right now. That's what we talking. Yeah. That's probably what you said.

Giannis is 29, 30, LeBron's 40. Yeah. Matthew Mathen, the Outer Pocket Variety Show asks, if y'all was GMs of Detroit, how would y'all convince K K to stay once this contract ended? If Dallas can't survive trading Luka, Detroit for sure can't lose K. I think those are two separate situations, brother.

K to be in Detroit as long as they're gonna pay in their max deal, so. It's different, I think K is American. We look at, like, we care about certain stuff differently. Like, they couldn't understand Luca in Dallas. Like, you know, a foreigner, like, yeah, they drink beer, smoke hookah, cigarettes, all that state culture.

And some people just couldn't mix with it. Like, Nico, whoever the owner, they just couldn't understand, like, how your professional athlete, you drink beer, smoke hookah, and do all this stuff. Well, owners, they just couldn't understand like how your professional athlete, you drink beer, smoke hookah, and do all this stuff. Well, overseas, they smoke cigarettes at halftime. You know what I mean?

Like it's just a different thing. So I don't know. I think Kade, he wants to be great. He understands, Detroit understands that Kade is they guy. He's they all NBA player. He gonna be around for a while. Keep him happy, give him another piece to go with in the future,

and y'all be all right man, for sure. K locked in with Detroit. Next question, hey DJ and Jeff, y'all best of good? Niggas will remind that shit. Y'all best of good for who had the most ones of the Hawks and Pacers? We had injuries, bruh.

Jalen Johnson went out, bruh. Didn't matter, but shout out to the Hawks. We said it was the Trey Young versus Tyler, what's the boy's name? Tyrese Halliburton. Tyrese Halliburton. And then Siakam versus Jalen Johnson. But Jalen went out with the shoulder. Yeah, I got that one though.

Shout out to the Pacers. Man, I'm about to turn this, bro, what? What's his name? Yeah, I got that one though. Shout out to the Pacers. Man, I'm about to turn this, bruh what? What's his name? Raymond. Ray Mudd. Appreciate you Ray Mudd. All right. We about to bend him from the chat.

That was a good. Slot to 25. Foot show man, very five buckets being here. Who was getting to it yesterday? And James Harden off the shrimp from the league being out of pocket man. It's just automatic for me. Even if you would have had 30, I'm still taking it.

when he laid down on the bench. Ain't nobody there, bro. All right, it really ain't nobody on the bench, bro. That shit's crazy. Damn, man. Shout out to Dallas, man. Bro, they got two people on the bench. It's not even about to be nobody on the bench. That's just crazy. Damn man. Shout out to Dallas. Bro, they got two people on the bench. It's not even about to be nobody in that arena.
