What up though man another wonderful night of playoff basketball? We're here to talk about it all but first things first man Shout out to your old coach Kenny Atkinson coach of the year shows him some respect man hell of a season for the Cleveland Cavaliers

Man, we know he was up in question for a second, but he held it down. How y'all feel about that? He deserved it, bro. Congrats, Kenny. Sure. Did a hell of a job this year. We gotta get a win.

I'm wearing a Pacer hat today. We? Yeah, I'm with the Cavs. I'm wearing a Pacer hat today, though, for bad luck. Anytime I root for the Pacers, they lose. That's why I got this hat on. This is reverse psychology. No way before him she gets me.

From hating ass niggas. But shout out to Kenny Atkinson, man. Took care of business. Jamie Bickerstad, they said, should have got that as well. They were saying it was close. I'm sorry about that for a second. But what he did for that Detroit team, turning that around,

this definitely should be respected as well, man. Yeah, he was definitely a runner up. Most definitely, man. McKinney came over there, took him over to hump. We shall see, man. But let's talk about it. First things first, man. In the Eastern Conference yesterday, a hell of a game.

Nicks rallied down from 20. Take care of business to get to Celtics. 108 to 105, I think only one person called a ride on the pedal. That's why I'm glad we make reels. I'm glad we smoked called around the panel. So I'm glad we make real Hey last night was hilarious jay Mills attacked us in the postman We will not The subject's trash bro, what a dub voice. Have fun man. Well let's talk about it man.

Have fun. Listen, Jaylen Busser went crazy yesterday, 29, 45. OG and the Nobby Show, why he got paid that bread with 29 as well. Cat 14 to 13, an underwhelming performance but they still got the dub. JT had 23, 16 to 6, did not shoot well. And JB 23, 75, did not shoot well at all as well Let's talk about it man. Oh, gee look like the best player on the floor Yeah, he did him and Mike L bridges Mike L bridges came off some big defensive stops

And he was playing will he play with him? Oh gee they the reason the Knicks won that game Oh, let's talk about like you said Mike L bridges came up big for that team yesterday only shot 3 for 13 Only had what eight points, only had what, eight points? But they all came in OT. And he played 51 minutes yesterday. Yeah, he did a hell of a job on the wings. It looked like they couldn't get by him for real, so they really was just settling for threes.

I mean, Jason shot five threes in a row one time. For game, he keep shooting step back there. I'm like, get to the rack, cuz. I'm like, try something different one time. Run some way over, bro. Let's break this down as a self-successor as a team. Shot 15 from 60 from three. They missed 45 threes yesterday.

Now, we can't be too critical of this team because we said they all was a high volume three shooting team and that's how they won the championship. But last night, I'm gonna ask you both as professionals, in the fourth quarter, when your shots not falling, what do you do? Do you keep doing the same thing that got you there or do you mix it up?

No. I don't like the adjust, bro. No. Okay. If I'm old, JB was old for nine at one point. Go to the basket, bro. You have to, bro. The whole team though, y'all just, y'all up 20,

y'all keep shooting threes for what, bro? We're up 20, bro. They gave them a chance. It's ice the game, it's over. Payton Pritchard, Demondee Green, no defense too. Well, there is no point in time that Jaylen game, it's over. Payton Pritchard and McGree, no defense, too. Well, there is no point in time that Jalen Brunson should be isolating Payton Pritchard. That is not the game plan that we're looking for at all.

It was, put a bow on him yesterday. Drew got some buckets, too, but Payton Pritchard is. You can't play this series. Hey, man, and shout out to Drew Holliday, who had some time to rebound yesterday. Some of them isolation to Jalen Brunson was killing yesterday was on Drew Holliday. Not really. No, Jalen Brown, Jalen Brunson was killing yesterday, was on Drew Holiday. No, really?

No, yeah, really? No, yeah, it was. Drew did a great job with the great defender, but some of the ice house was on him. It was Al Horford. No, Holiday saw some of them too, brother. Them threes, Al Horford. He hit two big threes, bro.

Yeah, that's Al Horford. That was timely shots, bro. It was Al Horford, bro. He went at, he got one bucket on the foul on Drew Holiday holiday pump fake. But I mean he can score on through holiday. He ain't like, he's not gonna do that though. I'm the same pain pressure that this one up.

It's not for you. I mean he had 13 though. Yeah, I mean. Play solid. Yeah, 24 minutes he did who he was supposed to do as well. Let's just go through this horrible shooting percentages. Luke at Jalen Brown, seven for 20, one for 10 from three, disgusting.

Jason Tatum, seven for 23 from the field, four for 15 from three, disgusting. Derrick White at one point was one for 10 from three, five for 16 from three, disgusting. Derrick White shot four threes in a row. I said, God damn, bro. They getting them threes up, bro. They told him to do that though, so.

It's just, JT, as the go-to guy, at some point you just gotta say, okay. Fuck it. Let me put my head down a couple times, get to the free throw line, something. Like the game was getting out of hand, y'all was up 20, they cut to nine, now it's time to lock in.

Let me get something going to the basket. Okay. He still was pulling thurys. Jalen Brown was pulling thurys. me get something going to the basket. He still was pulling thirds. Jalen Brown was pulling thirds. They shot him back in the game. Y'all was up 20 bro and Cat was not killing bro. Y'all might be in trouble bro. Nah, that means the Knicks in trouble.

They missed all them shots and they barely won bro. We're not gonna miss that many shots. It went to overtime and they missed 45-3. It was 45-3 and y'all barely stuck out there. Maybe our defense is just too good bro. Maybe y'all can't get to the cut bro. Maybe 45-3s and y'all barely stuck out. Maybe our defense is just too good, bro. Maybe y'all can't get to the cut, bro. Maybe y'all work on y'all handles, bro. Maybe we play like this.

We just wasn't hitting today. Now, I wanna get some love to the Knicks because that third quarter, they could've died. J. Lebrunson went crazy. Also, OG and Inobe held it down. He's getting steals, transition dunks. He played amazing yesterday. Honestly, it was better when JB went out.

They start hoopin'. OG went crazy, then Myles McBride came in. He had a couple big three. Made big shots, yeah. I love OG, but is he gonna keep playing like that? Yes. He been playing solid. He's African, bro.

30? He was killin' though. He was killin'. Last night, I was like, I leave. Every time he shut the ball, I thought it was goin' in. Yeah, lookin' off, it's me. You been runnin' the floor like that? He like, Cat, it's the fourth option. That nigga Cat was like this. Yeah. Yeah. Looking off. It's me. You're running the floor like that?

It's like Cat. Fourth option. That nigga Cat was like this. Cat, you the fourth option. I hope Cat have a good game. The moment Cat plays well, they gonna lose. They gonna lose, bro. That's crazy. They are, bro.

That's the recipe. And Cat is struggling a little bit. Cat, keep playing middies. Stay the fourth option, bro. The Knicks, all these Knicks people was hitting me up bro. I'm like, nigga, they missed 50 shots. And y'all barely won. That's not a good sign.

J.M.E.S. Have a great Tuesday, my nigga. Don't listen to these. Hard bro, go crazy. Go get something to eat. It's going to be a sweep. It's going to be a sweep. You fucking write a name.

It's going to be a gentlemen sweep. Five, yeah, Celtics in five, bro. I'm gonna tell you right now, Cico De Mayo in New York with a victory. It was lit in New York yesterday. I asked y'all, I sit here, here in Ashtra, are y'all sure that this is gonna be an easy series?

I said it was gonna be quiet. They were beating the hell out of them, bro. They just would not stop shooting 30s, bro. They were beating the hell out of them, bro. They just would not stop shooting 30s, bro. They was beating the shit out of them. Knicks fans turned off TV, they was tight, bro. We got anything in the chat, man. They just took it to the streets early today. He wanted to talk to the people.

I know they talking shit. I know they in there talking greasy, but. As they should though, bro. I wanna ask y'all about the Porzinga situation. Leaving the game due to illness, how y'all feel about that? The nigga was sick. Must be something serious, if he really left the game,

he must be sick as hell for real. Yeah, bro. Should've put his fingers down his throat, bro, and got back out there, bro. They needed it. Pop you a bean and get back to it. Put your two fingers down there, bro, and hurl and run back out like popcorn.

What we doing, bro? Like straight up though. Cause they needed you though. Cause your stomach hurt, come on. Yeah. Put your two fingers down there bro and hurl it run back out like They needed you though your stomach hurt That'd be see all right, man in super chat Dab Smith said jet to the last game nigga. He's six nine. I think he talked about Jason Taito He is he will tell him Philip degrees at the super chest at the motherfucker. probably his head dog. Just did it again I'm a next day me a motherfucker big dick's jersey. Now I'll play my song. This is going. What's my song about? This is going seven like I told you.

This is going seven, move. Okay. It's going five, bro. You hear it says it's going seven? Nigga said the 20 piece. I'm the motherfucker pearly. Hit it again. That's what my nigga feel up.

It'll all work out. I'm fucking motherfucker, apparently hit it again. That's what my nigga feel up. It'll always be. I'm fucking with you. All right, so if you're the Knicks, what do you take from this game and move the game through? You just be happy we got that game won. Okay, yeah, they probably get it. Let's go to New York. Yeah, they hype.

Stole one in the garden? Yeah. Stole one too, for real. Yeah, 20? Yeah. If you're in Boston, how do you feel about this? Let's beat the fuck out of them. Yeah, they gotta pay for this.

Okay. Y'all will pay for this, bro. So y'all thinking, the next game, I'm gonna ask y'all again, they're not gonna shoot this many threes. No, they're gonna shoot this many threes. They gonna make them. They gonna lock that shit up, bro. They gonna guard, too.

Hand in the face. They ain't gonna miss 45 threes, bro. Bro, they not shooting 63s again. They might, bro. They might. They get them shits up, bro, with no hesitation. Yeah, they not shootin' 63s again. They might, bro. They might. They get them shits up, bro, with no hesitation. Yeah, they gonna shoot them motherfuckers regardless. All right, but more respect for Jalen Brunson.

What he did yesterday just proved that he's a superstar in this league, and a lot of people try to question it. For sure. He's one of those ones for sure it's not a fluke clutch player a year for a reason. No, that's a fact. Yeah.

But he, every time he shootin', I'm surprised he missed that little floater to win the game in regulation Oh, and what a hell of a pass from cat to the people not really give him credit for I always say use the backboard, but he shouldn't have used it on that one. He should have just floated He doesn't expect to be that but it was too easy I wish you would have hit it that I was gonna be a cold walk off back to back walk-offs game 7 a game What that would mean? Well game 6 Doing that would have been, well game six.

He keep doing his thing bro, he showing out. He cold for sure. Yeah, build a statue for Jalen Bruss and him taking that pay cut and the way that he's performing. Shout out to Tibbs too man. Shout out to Tibbs bro. Yeah, Tibbs you saved your job dog, getting out there first round.

Yeah. You think it would have got quiet if they had got. Mike Malone was on his way. Oh, it was all over the place. All right man, shout out to the Knicks for handling business game one. Listen, second game last night was just as amazing. Shout out to the Denver Nuggets

for taking care of business last night. I told ya. Went to OKC and got it done. Chamberlain numbers, I told you. Air Gordon, another game winner. Yokes is yokes, bro, But I swear to God, bro, three of them niggas had double doubles, bro. With rebounds and shit.

They out-rebounded us like a motherfucker. It is. It's what we gotta win. That's because they need to play hard style and shit together, bro. Okay. They need to play them together. Let's talk about it, man.

One by two, bro. Them niggas are sad, bro. Man, Joker. 42 and 22. We not playing like that again, this game. So we? Yeah. Okay, you locked in? We're not doing that again. Well, just can't. So we? Yeah. Okay, you locked in?

We're not doing that again. Well, we gave up 42, 22, and six to Joker last night. He can do that, bro. Three niggas having double doubles, bro, is crazy, bro. Yeah, bro. We trying to win, bro. No, bro. No, crash the glass.

What'd I tell y'all niggas? That's why y'all coaching ass niggas teach niggas how to box out. Back to the fundamentals. Three niggas having teach niggas how to box out. Back to the fundamentals. Three niggas having double doubles, bro. I told you. Chet is soft, bro, he too little. They gotta play hard, start him together, bro.

You can't let Chet be at the five, bro. He too little. Cannot, bro, he gonna keep losing. All right, let's run through these stats from yesterday. Aaron Gordon hooped out 22 and 14 in a game winner. Another one, Jamal Murray had 21 66 SGA to his thing 33 10 and 8 almost trippin dub and I was crucial ball I just they were 20 in 6 Jake Williams has 16 and 7 but he did not shoot well my horse

Christian by 13 rebounds yesterday bro 11 13. Yeah, you talk about the glaring the biggest glaring From yesterday was the Nuggets. Yes, bro dominated rebounds yesterday. Go ahead and see how many rebounds NBA bro. Three niggas up on the squad bro. Hell no. It's not enough. Just seen it happen. It's gonna happen again.

Getting out a rebound at about 20 in a playoff game is never a good thing. We're not doing that bro. And the Nuggets is sad bro. Y'all should have blew us out bro. Y'all only beat us by two. Ah, I'm gonna say this is more about OK season than it is about Denver yesterday.

Y'all sad bro. Niggas get a Will Chamberlain rebound and still barely win bro. I'm gonna say this is more about okay season is about Denver yesterday. I said bro These get a will chamber the rebounds. It's still barely weird, bro. We gonna make some adjustments. Don't worry about it How y'all feel about SGA getting 33 on 26 shots yesterday? It's a lot of shots Well, y'all said that nigga shoe more than Alan Irvins and so See on you on cue He ain't beating them allegations at all. Jalen Williams five for 20, he need more. Gotta have more. That's the only thing I questioned about OKC.

Like they ain't really, they been here, but they ain't been here. Yeah. Are they players gonna step up? Are they gonna have their moments? And yesterday was just a... They were supposed to win that game yesterday, bro. Russell played good too. Yeah. Let's go to the game yesterday bro. Yeah Russell play good, too

Back at the crib with it when crazy They role players playing good. It could get ugly for okay, so yeah, Russell West like they role players not fucking with Russell Westbrook Like why is there Joe chicken Russell Westbrook is at his is at his Green he like what this little nigga is over with straight It's dead. They clicking at the right time Shoot better, bro. Yeah, just even too much. I agree cuz y'all right in a way, but they only won by two But I got lucky bro. You gotta do is win bro. Don't matter by how important it is, bro. You know what they say? Hello, Rick, yeah.

MPJ won for eight yesterday, only two points. Not enough, he didn't even wanna shoot the ball yesterday. He had a couple turnovers, we were catching the ball, I don't think he in sync right now. Coach, you put his ass on that bench. Yeah, we need to win right now. I like that little coach, man. Yeah, he locked in.

But Joker, man. That nigga look like Peewee Herman. That coach. Yeah, I mean, every time I watch, I look at Pee Wee Herman Joker gonna do that though, but 42 or 22 Okay, I get 42 Monster numbers, bro Yeah, but he's playing 99 bro He's a player number. This thing is only one by two. We're beating their ass. He always do that. That's literally who he is.

Yeah bro, he's player 99 bro. This is not gonna be enough. This is a normal night for him bro. It's hard playing the same team back to back to back. Yeah, and they just realized they gotta play him again. Fuck, yeah. He outperformed that superstar. He outperformed SGA yesterday.

Y'all see that meme? Y'all see that meme? Don't start that. Nah, boy, y'all see that meme? Where, I see that mean Boy, yes, he had me where it was like my parlay was on his last leg My last leg was to hold This was my last leg, bro. That was Caruso, man. Chill the fuck out, bro. We don't need you killing, bro.

Nah, you didn't say killing. Caruso was balling yesterday. Lock up. What'd you say? He was locked up. I don't need 20 from you. I need 20 defensive stops. He lost to you yesterday. I need 10 more. He had five steals yesterday.

I need 10 more. That niggas Caruso, bro. He got me dicing deals. I ain't gonna lock Caruso, boy. He cold, kind of, bro. Nah, he over-flossed our brain last night. I like Caruso, bro, but this is not your role to get a double on this team. Shit, they need shit.

Somebody in the way, bro. Not with J. Louie, too far for 20. You better get it from somebody. Jalen, lock in. They needed that 20, bro. Don't do it again, bro. 20, six assists and five steals, Alistair was not the bro, he was a life bro.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. Would others dismiss as niche we embrace as core? It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right

person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Are we ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. Is that what I thought it was? Oh, this is fighting words. Okay. I'll put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a bestselling author with the second most banned book in America.

Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we're doing on Fighting Words. We're not going to let anyone silence us. That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of Black history or queer history, any history that challenges the whitewash norm.

Or put us in a box. Black people have never, ever depended on the so-called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great. We are the greatest culture makers in world history. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so I want to ask y'all this. If you OKC being here, how you feel about this game?

Well, we just got a crash the glass man. I mean it's a sad like We got out rebound three niggas have like I said having to double doubles out of they they out of their body bro over there bro Okay. All right. Now if you had a nugget, how y'all what y'all take from this game? Yeah, we got them Okay, where we want to be we comfortable And we feel like and we feel like we played good. I let us win game one and we did not play good. We supposed to lose this game. We ain't played good. Michael Porter Jr. was terrible.

And you know how we going to play when we get to Denver. What's up? Y'all should never let us win this first game, bro. Turn the demon on, bro. All right. Turn the demon. Lil' Dord, Jalen Williams. Jalen Williams is not, he ain't doing that again.

I can't wait to see what Draymond does in this first quarter. I'm taking the Draft Kings over on flagrants tonight. Hopefully Rudy Goldberg stays, of course. If he let Draymond get in his head, it's gonna get ugly.

They'll fuck around and beat the shit out of the Timberwolves. You didn't gotta put Julius Randall there. You can't even let him regard him at this point. Who you think gonna beat him? Might have to take Rudy out at some point. Who you think they hate the most in Minnesota? Might have to, bro. You think Jimmy the most hated person in Minnesota?

Yeah, I'm like, what the fuck? Legendary basketball documentary, tap in. Man, I think, yeah, Jimmy might be the most hated Minnesota. I would love to see who else they feel about that. But I'm probably gonna go with a strong third. Oh, they hate you so much. Just cause you went for, what's her name? No, cause it's them podcast.

That's why they, Jeff left cool. I was like, he even knew that. I just got his ass on YouTube.

I know they gonna put him on they gonna put him on Steph. I Know that but you gonna have to outplay Jimmy up a couple of these games. So who's guarding Julius Randall? For the Warriors?
