Good morning, happy Thursdays.
It's 5.20 in the morning, your favorite sports show.
Here to keep you up to date, Everything in the sports world, especially basketball.
I'm your host, my name is DJ Wills.
Joined this morning by my two brothers to my left,
Bishop Hendricks to my right, my brother T.
Fellas, good morning, how y'all doing?
Saddening, brother.
What up, though?
What's going on, man?
Wednesday was a good night for Sports For Show, man.
We got some really good basketball last night, man.
Most definitely, man, let's get straight to it, man.
The best two teams in the league matched up last night.
The Cavs took care of the Thunder,
stopped a 15 game win streak with a 129 and 122 victory.
NBA's top two teams, man.
Listen, before we even get into the stats,
I know we talked about, you know,
the ratings would probably not reflect how good it would be,
but imagine these two teams with seven games, man.
That was a hell of a game last night.
No, that was fun basketball to watch.
We talked about how good both teams were.
I would love to see them with their full roster,
the Thunder.
The big guys for the Cavs,
they really dominated the game.
Most definitely.
So I'm having chip back and going against each other.
I'd like to see that metric.
For sure, man, Jared Allen had 25 and 11 yesterday.
Edmund Mobley as well had 21, 10 and seven.
Like you said, the bigs of the Cavs
yesterday really took over.
Be here, just thunder, man.
Did you see some things you like
you could take from that loss yesterday?
Hell no, we still waiting on the guy.
That was a good win for the Cavs, you know what I mean?
Cavs actually like 11 and 0
versus the Western Conference team.
So they really been smacking shit for real.
NA 19 and 1 at the crib.
So I put some respect on them.
They're having an unbelievable season for sure.
We talked about Evan Mobley for an all-star bid.
Yeah.
And I think we gotta take a little more notice of that.
I think Jared Allen is great, but for the big four,
the cat that they get an all-star now
should be Evan Mobley.
He ballin' and he guards.
Yeah.
He's switchin' one through four, one through five really.
He guarding everybody.
He can do pretty much everything on the floor.
He didn't shoot the three good last night,
but he been shooting a lot better this season.
So he's making himself as a capable player,
two-way player, an all-star type player.
For them still to win like this,
and shit, Donovan, I'm about to call that nigga
Donovan McNabb.
Donovan Mitchell, he's been struggling
these last four games too. so for them to still be winning
and he's been scoring under 20, that says a lot for them.
DG had 18 is what it helped out,
but that is interesting that you said that.
I think one thing for me with Evan Mobey
is the rebounding aspect.
I know that kind of fluctuates with him.
Yes, sometimes it may take away from Jared Allen,
but when you got both of them getting 21 rebounds
and them both scoring 20, that means they dominating for sure.
So it's a little bit of a OKC, like we said,
this wasn't a blowout, this was a hell of a game.
SGA still had 30, J. Will had 25, five, and nine assists.
Isaiah Hardenstein had 18, 11, and eight.
So like you said, having Chetis and Reinforcings
might have helped him a lot last night,
because he still balled out.
Yeah, they still got hoopers.
I mean, SGA, we probably front runner for MVP.
J. Will, like I said, he could get an all-star nod this year.
And Hardenstein told you he won the top 10 bigs in the league.
It was just that matchup is a little different.
Evan Mobley, damn, they're seven foot.
And you've got him going against J. Will, who's actually
a two guard, small forward.
But he's matching up with him or Lou Dort.
So it's kind of a odd matchup
and they took advantage of it last night.
Most definitely, one thing to talk about too,
the bench points, Casbench gave them 43 last night,
OKC gave them 26, we talked about that OKC team
started with a bench, you know,
they still been playing well, but in the playoffs
is it gonna look different on the road than it is at home?
This was a big game to try to test that.
Yeah, they need a little scoring off the bench.
I think when they get checked back, their rotations could be a little different. Yeah, they need a little scoring off the bench. I think when they get checked back,
their rotations could be a little different.
Yeah, most definitely.
And Chet or SGA could play with the second unit
a little more and they'd probably get a go-to player
or J-Will and they'd give them a different look
in their rotations.
So right now having to play J-Will, SGA,
a lot at the same time, they don't get the same scoring
they get off the bench or in that second unit.
Most definitely be him.
Do you think I need to grab somebody else off the bench
that could just be a bucket for them
and just wait to see how it works with Chet get there?
Nah, we straight.
We don't need nobody.
Them other teams need pieces.
We good.
They just need to switch the rotations.
We just need Chet to get back
so somebody else can play with the second unit.
Yeah, we missing a value, value piece.
We missing our Prozingos.
You know what I'm saying?
So, when bro get back, we'll see.
What's up?
I wanna ask y'all this, between these two teams,
who has the best chance of coming out of their division?
Or conference, excuse me.
I would probably say OKC.
Okay.
You talking about to get to the, playing the championship?
Yeah, to get to the finals.
Yeah, OKC.
I feel like the West is down this year.
They got capable teams, but obviously you got
a young Thunder team who's second in the West,
and a young Grizzlies team who got veteran pieces
but Jago in and out of the lineup,
and we know they only move as far as Jago,
especially in the playoffs.
The Nuggets are veteran team, championship team,
and for if Yogi's been hurt the last couple of games,
he been out.
But I don't know if I believe in Denver right now.
I think, okay, so he can get past Denver.
But-
If they keep they same roster.
Yeah, I don't know.
Now if they get a piece, shit can get different.
Everybody else, I feel like they gotta get healthy.
I don't know how good the Mavs are right now.
Yeah, yeah. Whether they can carry out. I don't know how good the Mavs are right now. Yeah, they got like one on.
With Wilk and Kyrie out,
I don't know if they come back healthy or whatever.
I don't really know.
They're up in the air.
Everybody else is pretty much awash with me.
I think they can beat everybody else.
Most definitely, I'm all with that.
In the Cavs situation,
I think that the unfortunate part,
I mean, they're playing great basketball.
We got some respect to it.
I don't know if they can beat the Celtics
or the Knicks in the series yet.
I'm not a hundred percent sold.
But granted with them being number one,
they ain't gonna have to face one of them,
which is gonna be to their benefit.
Cause those two will probably see each other
before they get to them.
But.
I'm scared for them to face up with Milwaukee.
So that, you know, that one five, one four,
whatever they end up being matchup in the sims. I'm scared for that. Yeah, that's five, one four, whatever they ended up being match up.
And the Sims, I'm scared for that.
Yeah, that's not a good look for that.
Cause Giannis and Dane, Chris Middleton,
they're proven scores, proven champions.
Dane, we know what he does in the playoffs.
I don't know if the Cavs have a guy who can do that.
I mean, Donovan Mitchell had big playoff runs,
but he hasn't made a deep, deep playoff run like Yanis, you know, finals MVP, Chris Middleton,
carry teams in the finals.
I don't know if they can match up well against Milwaukee.
It might be a tough game for them, tough series.
Milwaukee don't got no bench though.
I think I agree with you,
but if Cavs bench keep improving,
then it could be shit.
I don't know.
But y'all just say Chris Middleton coming off the bench now. So improving, then it could be shit. I don't know. But did y'all just say Chris Milton
coming off the bench now?
So yeah, that's the...
But also you gotta think in the playoffs.
Tune into the pot for that conversation for sure.
In the playoffs, you gotta think.
Seven man rotation.
Yeah, people playing 45 minutes a game.
People don't really come out.
Yeah, most definitely.
Trust me, I was up and in for 30 seconds
coming out right yeah some different needs I'm just saying like 30 second
needs the rotation for the rotation tighten up for real now for sure so like
I mean Milwaukee really built for the playoffs to be honest yeah they got two
people who could dominate a game for you.
They could dominate together
and you got rotational players who's gonna help
and you got a whole new personality.
Why this nigga D.J. boy sexy this?
What the fuck?
Oh no, damn Jerry Wade.
R.I.P. to the legends.
Nigga I'm like what the fuck?
Hey, call the sex wine.
This nigga.
And we don't got PTO at 520.
I had to show up under the weather this morning.
That nigga said how to, Hey, we don't got PTO at 520. I had to show up under the weather this morning. We didn't go. That is how it is.
Yeah, call me on 1-800-get-your-draws-with.com.
Hey, that's crazy.
What did it say, Sister Slimmer?
You are sick.
The Nuggets beat the sleeves off the Clippers yesterday,
1-26 to 1-03.
Joker missed the game, and it still didn't matter.
Russell Westbrook killed it down, 19-6 to eight.
Jamal Murray had 21 to nine.
MPJ had 19 and eight.
MPZ balled out, he had 30, and James Harden had 16.
But man, we called this game yesterday.
Yeah.
Yeah, I had faith in the Clips.
But you know what I'm saying, they,
I don't know, man, James got they, I don't know man.
James got a, James can't have them type of stat lines.
We need too much from him.
We blaming James with his loss?
I'm blaming him in front of the loss.
I'm just saying he can't have 16, three and four.
You got 16, three and four of Kawhi playing.
You know what I'm saying?
But he just had an off night.
Well, Kawhi missed it because of the, you know,
obviously what's going on in prayers up to those doing,
enduring what's going on in California right now,
that is insane, man.
Thoughts and prayers to everyone.
Affected for sure.
He missed a game yesterday to be with his family
with that situation, but I don't know, man.
I think when Kauai gets back, you know what I'm saying,
actually playing full-time back to back,
I think this Clippers team will be all right.
I think they're just, you know what I'm saying,
trapped game yesterday.
It happens all the time.
I don't think real, bro.
I don't think they're gonna be all right
when he come back, bro.
I don't think so.
You don't think so?
You don't think he can coexist with this team?
Nah, he can, but I don't think they're gonna be good.
I mean, they can be good,
but I don't look at them as a real factor.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not gonna say that,
but I feel like Kowai should go give it 20.
I feel like it's okay to see West to lose.
They've been in the playoffs,
they had a year under they built,
and it's like, now they at that point where it's like,
we gotta make one more step,
and I think that step is getting to the finals.
Yeah, I'm about to say,
motherfucker trying to wash my mouth,
but somebody missing 40 games, bro,
it's tough to come back, bro.
Kowai's a great player, bro,
but he ain't gonna really make no huge difference for them.
No, the opposite side of this,
the Nuggets know how to handle them like this without Joker.
I know we just talked about the playoff situation,
but I feel like that's a team that,
you don't really wanna see Joker four times, bro.
Nah.
Outside of OKC, I feel like that's a bad matchup
for Danny Anybody else,
because I feel like he can go win three games,
and Jamal Murray and MPJ can help him get them another one.
At this point, they just gotta start Westbrook.
Like he's playing so well with the starting lineup
and they playing well as a team, Joker out, whoever,
Joker in, he's playing at a, playing great.
He's that role player that they needed.
And he's kind of like helping Jamal Murray
manage the floor.
Jamal Murray is really a two guard at heart.
And Westbrook is a point guard at heart.
And he knows how to get those guys to ball to be effective.
But also Westbrook has this weird ability to play big man.
Like him and Drew Holliday, the only guards I know,
and Rondo, who can kinda play like a big man.
They can set screens, roll, get in a dunker,
get offensive rebounds and stuff like that.
And it's kind of like an Aaron Gordon thing,
but he's a point guard.
It's weird, but Westbrook is special with that.
He's been doing it his whole career.
It started really, I started noticing that in Houston,
he was going up there and setting screening roles
for James Harden.
I'm like, what the hell is he doing?
Yeah, Russell Westbrook slipping the screen is crazy.
Yeah, but he's figured it out.
He's made a role for himself on this team
and he's a very important piece.
And we gotta talk about MPJ too though.
Like we always talk about his defense
and how he doesn't play defense or whatever.
But the way he's shooting the ball this year,
he averaging 19, I would say it's the third option.
But he's shooting 50 and 40.
50 from the field, 40 from the three.
Yeah, I sure respect.
And it's kind of crazy.
Like we don't really
give them too much love.
We talk about them pulling and being a gun,
but if you that efficient, why not shoot?
I agree with you.
And we get these jokes out, but that's why they pay him.
Yeah.
You're a hundred million dollar man
because you get buckets, you're not paid to get assists.
He had two assists last night, which I thought was funny.
But you look at the stat line between
Rez Book and Jermall Murray,
like you get 40 points for both of them,
and then you get what 17 assists?
That's elite from both of your starters to get that.
Yeah for sure.
I'm sure he wanted them two assists back.
I probably wanted two more shots.
Let me get a deal if I can take these two back.
So.
Oh okay we got a live question from the chat.
Hold on, hold on.
All right so Marty asks UT,
Hulk Hogan getting booed in his moves, is he top three?
Top three rest of all time.
He got booed in his, his top three moves?
All he did was, all he did was a fucking leg drop.
Oh, what's my top three finishers?
Oh, that's a hell of a-
Oh, this is a sidebar, we talking WWE now,
my top three finishers. I love I wish I could say hell, bro. This is a sidebar. We talking WWE now. My top three finishers.
I love the RKO, Randy Orin.
Whoever did that was a gump.
I love the RKO.
Oh, fuck.
Also, I used to like the torture rack from Lex Luger,
cause I used to put my little brother in there.
Pause.
Yeah, that was a RAC.
And I'd probably say Stalko Stunner, cause everybody was Yeah, that was about AC. And I'll probably say Stalko Stunner
cause everybody was running around
trying to stun everybody.
Shout out to Daquiri's Hill.
Shout out to him.
Shout out to Daquiri's, what's some name in this one?
Charlamagne LeGate.
Yeah, shout out to the Nuggets, man.
They look like-

Shout out to Daquiri's.
I was surprised you said sweet chain music.
Nah, I ain't like the kid.
Child Michaels used to kick this shit out.
I know, I ain't like the kid.
Hey, give the Quirries his $10 swag, man.
Hey, somebody wrote me,

That's exactly what they wrote.
Tell that drunk ass to stop hating on wrestling. Here you go, share a message. wrestling. That's exactly what they wrote.
Tell that drunk ass stop hating on wrestling.
Here you go, sharing messages.
I'll just tell you what they wrote.

I was just laughing.
But they're enough.
They wrote that I was rolling.
I was like, look at him, hating on wrestling.
Started teeing up on him.
I didn't say nothing.
They had no wrestling.
It was the movie.
The query is, we appreciate you for tuning in,
and I hate you guys getting the shout out of The Quarries.
Don't send no more fucking money, bro,
asking no questions about no wrestler, though.
Man, stop hating, bro.
Hey, take his tickets back, WZ.
He cannot go to Royal Rumble.
I am, but.
Shout out.
Huh?
All right, what's the other question?
Come on, The Quarries, I'm rocking with you.
Come on, DQ.
Damn.
Ah, nah, nah, nah.
Y'all pocket watching this, hey y'all.
Hey, no, DQ.
But nah, man, keep your bread, bro.
You fucking up the show, man.
This nigga stop talking about putting niggas
in torture racks and shit.
This is a sports show.
It is a sports show, WWES Sports, bro.
No, it's not, it's an activity.
No it's an ESPN bro.
All right, all right.
All right, we'll put him in the sports right.
I hope this nigga just fire on you one day.
This for rest.
Ow!
This for rest is crazy.
I'll be rolling.
Put a love in the game is crazy.
Oh my God, man.
Oh man, the books.
I'm gonna bring the boys along. The books took care of. Oh my God, man. Oh man, the books. I'm around those little boys alone.
The books took care of the Spurs yesterday, man.
Wimby walking in suit was crazy yesterday.
I don't know if y'all seen that,
but his fit to come to the game yesterday,
I knew that was gonna lose.
Dame had 26 and eight,
Yannis had 25, 16 and eight,
Brooke Lopez had 22 and seven,
CP had 18 and seven,
and Wimby had a double double with 10 and 10.
The Bucks made my team threes last night, bro.
And when they hit like that, they gonna be there, Bobby.
It is a good team.
I mean, they got Hall of Fame players.
We know they got the abilities to burn off
a bunch of games in a row.
They got players who can take over games
at any point in time.
And they got guys off the bench who can get hot.
Bobby Porter can get hot.
Now Chris Middleton supposedly coming off the bench
can get hot.
You got capable players all over the board.
It's a team that we should see
in the Eastern Conference Finals probably.
Most definitely, listen, they got the top scorer duo
in the NBA at 56 points per game.
Are they the best tag team in the NBA?
I mean, it's debatable.
I mean, you got a couple of good teams that got nice duels.
Luca and Kyrie been out, so right now, Jason.
I'm not mad at that.
Jason and JB.
Yeah, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go with them.
They still a great duo.
But Yonison, damn, you can't go wrong with that.
Nah, bro. Top 75. Two Hall of Famers. Hall of Dane, you can't go wrong with that. No, bro.
Top 75.
Two Hall of Famers.
Hall of Famers, you can't go wrong with it.
I'm not mad at it.
I'll take them two.
100%.
Most definitely.
If you were to start a team, yeah, I'm gonna take them two.
Yeah, I'll take them two.
As far as respect to JT and JB,
I know they just gotta ring together, but yeah.
They got a lot of other pieces
that make them great too, though.
Yeah, if I could put some, build my team around them,
yeah, it's a different conversation.
Yeah.
But yeah, man, the Bucks, man, you talked about it.
They don't call it a stride.
I remember Doc was getting a lot of hell, especially on this show.
It's been quiet, man.
They've been looking like a contender for sure.
San Antonio, what do y'all think they need to do?
Do they need to add any pieces to just see how the course goes this year
and just get into playoffs?

to lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or

about a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts in the National Hockey League.
It's NHL Unscripted with Burke and Demers.
Hey, I'm Jason Demers, former 700 game NHL defenseman turned NHL network analyst.
And boy oh boy, does daddy have a lot to say.
I love you, by the way, on NHL Network.
We're looking forward to getting together each week to chat and chirp about the sport
and all the other things surrounding it that we love, right?
Yeah, I just met you today, but we're going to have a ton of guests from the colliding
worlds of hockey, entertainment, and pop culture.
And you know what?
Tons of back and forth on all things NHL.
Yeah, you're going to soon find out we're not just hockey talk.
We have all kinds of random stuff on this podcast.
Movies, television, food, wrestling, even the stuff that you wear on NHL now.
You wish you could pull off my short shorts, Ferkey.
That's sure to cause a ruckus.
Listen to NHL Unscripted with Verkan Demurs and the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts.
What's going on, everybody?
This is Justin Penick from Jamboy Media, the host of the Football Today podcast alongside Bobby Skinner and Chris Rose. We're rolling three times
a week on Mondays, on Wednesdays, on Fridays, breaking down everything you need to know
about the NFL. We're talking about the MVP race. Is Josh Allen going to pull it out?
Lamar Jackson? Can Saquon Barkley even break the rushing record can the Steelers keep up their momentum we talk about everything
we break it down stats analytics and of course Chris Rose is bringing his
perspective on being a pro in the media world as well listen to football today
on the iHeartRadio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and you will be glad you did.
Hope you could join us for the postseason run.
I mean, they go just to make the play.
They probably didn't even want to make the playoffs.
I mean, I'm not going to say nobody wants to compete.
They probably want to get another solid piece in the draft.
But if they can make the playoffs, I'm sure they will.
They're not mad about it, but they could get another piece in the draft.
It's a young team that could be good.
Yeah, everybody don't need a piece.
Yeah.
Somebody just rock out with who you got.
Yeah, like they could just get another guy in the draft.
Like if they could get a young talent in the draft.
I mean, I think it's a deep enough draft where they can find some guys.
If they can get the top eight pick.
I think you would find a good quality player at eight.
Now I ask y'all this question,
should they try to build through the draft
or should they just acquire assets
and then try to get some people to come hoop with Wimby?
Well, I mean, Wimby's a attraction.
I think people would like to play with Wimby,
but right now, nobody wants to be in San Antonio.
I'm just being real, it's a tough place to probably get free agents to go.
In the past, they were such a good team
that people would go,
because they know they had a chance
to win the championship.
Right now, they're a-
Especially at the tail end of their career.
Yeah, right now, it's a young team.
They got a CP because of the money,
and he got a chance to start and play.
He still wanted to do that.
But not too many other people gonna go there.
Now, if they get a young guy, young point guard
who wanna link up with Wimby
and think they can start something,
you know, that's different.
And Castle looking like we're good here.
Yeah, he can hoop, man.
Yeah, he's seen some flashes.
I'm saying, so do you, if you're the Spurs,
do you spend, you know, some money
and try to go get another point guard,
or a trade for like a De'Aaron Fox,
or a Trey Young, or whoever it is.
If you, do you do that, or you let Castle just build
and just become the point guard of the future?
Because I think he could play point.
I mean, shit, if you got the opportunity
to go get one of them two tight players,
I think you go get him.
And then, I mean, obviously they can play alongside him.
That's going to be even better for him. But if you can go get two point guards of that caliber, who are two go get them. And then, I mean, obviously they can play alongside him. That's gonna be even better for him.
But if you can go get two point guards of that caliber
who are two great point guards we talking about,
make it happen.
Because you got the money to spend it
and then you can just fill in a roster that way.
Yeah, but you know you gotta trade Castle.
If you go trade for one of them,
they're people's ass now.
Oh, yeah, he's outta here.
You don't think San Antonio could,
I mean, they got draft capping.
You don't think they could throw a couple picks in here
and make it done?
If I'm trading my star point.
I'm trading trade, you know,
Castle has to come to the dance.
Yeah, he's the first person I'm asking for.
You gotta come to the Lord, bro.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like.
Respect.
Yeah, so I was just wondering
if it's worth trading him for one of those guys.
I mean, it's typically the timing.
If one of those guys is ready to go, yeah.
It'd be the timing.
For sure.
From the chat, it says,
is it worth trading Chris Middleton?
If so, for who?
That's a very tough question.
I don't know who you trade Chris Middleton for at this point.
If he's injured and you can get off,
if he's not gonna be able to play like Chris Middleton,
yeah, you trade him, but we don't know.
But 10 of nights in the ankles,
when you defeat the most important thing, yeah, you trade him, but we don't know. But 10 of nights in the ankles, the feet the most important thing,
once them start going on the ankles,
feet, you're done.
Yeah, pick him up on the arm,
it gets spooky after that.
I don't know, I don't know.
I think you gotta wait one more year.
I think you give them, finish this year out,
see what they do, and try to get him in the trade market.
Chris Middleton, what, 33?
Shit, he looks 60.
Yeah, good boy.
Boy, you look 30.
Well, he got different lineages, but.
I don't know how old Chris is.
He might be young, he might be fairly young.
He older or younger than B?
He'd probably be 32.
Oh, he's definitely younger than B.
He might be 32.
33, I'm pretty good, 33.
Yeah, he got some more years left.
A few.
Yeah, he got a few left, for sure. Man, he came, yeah, 33. Yeah, you got some more years left. You know. A few.
Yeah, you got a few left, for sure.
Man, he came to the league late, didn't he?
No, he just-
How many years he been in the league?
He been in the league for a minute, though.
12 years?
He was in Detroit twice, he been in the league a minute.
Yeah, he came here when he was 21.
For sure.
Shout out to Chris Milton, man.
The Knicks took care of the rappers yesterday,
one, 12, to 98.
Cat had 27 and 13.
OG had 27 as well. Josh Harvitz-Kinley yesterday, he to 98, Kat had 27 to 13, OG had 27 as well,
Josh Harbers-Kinley yesterday, he had 21, 11 to seven,
and IQ had 22.
The Knicks started scoring 98 of the 112.
Do y'all see this being a problem in the playoffs
or just this fighting to Tibbs' game plan?
This is the playoffs.
They only gonna play five, six people.
So this is how it's gonna work.
The only thing is can they make it
to the playoffs playing this way?
Our guy's going to stay healthy enough to make it.
You know, playing 40 minutes a night
for 82 games is crazy.
So I'm a little nervous about that.
Will they make it to the playoffs healthy?
Cause last year Brunson got to the playoffs
and was banged up.
Yeah, he was hurt.
He was hurt, couldn't do nothing.
And that hurt the Knicks a little bit.
Do he, do we make it to the playoffs healthy?
I don't know.
That's the question for the Knicks.
Can they get there healthy?
Yeah, they have a league low scoring advantage.
I want to ask that question.
Cause I mean, obviously we know when they're
firing off silvers, the Knicks is hard to deal with.
But in the occasion, you're in the playoffs
and some of those role players have off nights,
you have to rely upon somebody.
Can you rely upon Kat and JB to take you on every time?
They not gonna have, they not playing.
They said they just not gonna get no run.
The Knicks, I'm telling you.
They gotta be healthy to the playoffs.
If they can get they five starters to the playoffs,
they be good.
But if anybody get hurt, it's quiet for the Knicks.
They don't play nobody.
So do you think Tiz might open up the rotation
throughout the year just to make sure
they don't limp across like they did last time
or he just gonna be on what he on?
That's the world will never know.
We've been saying this since the Bulls.
Touche.
Touche.
He still don't give a damn.
You know what I mean?
Shut up and hoop.
We've been saying this from the Bulls.
Last year they had Alec Burke
and some guys step up and people were hurt.
Alec Burke was killing it.
I don't see.
I mean, send me see.
I don't see if they got anybody like,
well, Andrew Schammer can play, Cameron Pan can play.
And Miles McBride, I don't know.
Yeah, McBride.
He been out, but they got some capable players on the bench.
I just don't know if they can get the play.
They got Tyler Colick to deal with TJ Nash.
I don't know if they can get the play.
It's not gonna be Jericho Simms.
Yeah.
But listen, man, like you said,
the Knicks, they hoopin' right now, man.
You got OG averaging about 17, Josh Hard about 15,
and Bridges at about 19,
and your two All-Stars getting about 20, 25 a piece.
That's a hell of a team, man.
But if you watch their games,
his rotations are a little different, though.
He keep a couple stars on the court at the same time.
They get out the game.
They just rotate.
They start with the second unit. They just, they keep a good. They got the court at the same time. They get out the game. They just rotate. They start with the second unit.
They just, they keep a good.
They got enough to do that though.
They keep a good player on the court at all times.
They got hell of a team, man.
I know how I feel about my next take this year.
We'll see if it comes from fruition.
A couple more games last night.
The Bulls beat the living shit out the Bulls yesterday.
Oh, the Pacers.
Yeah, Pacers, excuse me, 129 and 113.
Six in the East right now. we got the last four wins.
The Pistons, they done got eight of eight last night
right now sitting in eighth,
and then I think your Hawks is seventh.
I'm gonna ask you, who you think,
we already have our conversation about that.
Do you think y'all finished higher than the Pistons?
Think we gonna finish higher than the Pacers.
What the fuck is you talking about?
Where we at right now?
We're at six.
We're nine.
Oh, okay.
And these niggas go.
I'm saying if y'all, y'all right next to the Pistons.
Y'all 19 to eight.
It's a game away from me.
I'm just saying, do you think y'all can be hired
at the end of the year to the Pistons?
We gonna be hired in the Pacers.
Don't speak on us.
I'm asking about the Detroit Pistons.
That's Jerry Wade shit on the dough.
I called Mike for PTO. tell you how to use it.
But y'all know how I like the Pistons though.
I told y'all that like when the year first started,
I said the Pistons got some veteran pieces that's going to
help the young corps they got.
Jay Nivy getting hurt.
Yeah.
I hate to see that, but it activated some guys.
Like Tim Hardaway's been great.
Some of these guys been playing at high levels.
And K. Cunningham is an all-star.
He's been doing his thing.
He's having an all-star moment.
But Trey Young's been having an all-star year too.
So it's a battle.
I think we all make the play in.
I don't think we're gonna do anything special.
I don't think we're about to make it
to the Eastern Conference Finals,
but Trey got the ability to go on a run.
I was going to say it now to be fair out all that,
I know that we probably playing basketball
the way we supposed to,
but y'all do have a star in Trey Young
that I would fear in the playoffs.
And he'd been on a run before.
I mean, he's been there before.
Yeah, he's made it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
He's been on a run and he got the ability
to lead a team and get them back to,
and a hunt in the playoffs. I don't think they're going to make a run like that this year.
I think the Cavs, Milwaukee, Boston,
they solidified this up this year
as a team to be reckoned with.
I don't know, man. It's interesting though.
It's a good year for the East, though.
Most definitely.
We thought we'd be the other way around for sure.
Siakam had 26 and six yesterday.
He was killing Zach Lev Levine had 31 yesterday,
a boy auditioned for sure, free that man.
Can't wait to find out where he goes.
Most definitely, 76 would have been the wishes yesterday,
109, two, 103.
Artis Maxx was killing yesterday.
29 to six bull.
Hell yeah.
And shout out to Eric Gord, man.
Five for eight, everybody been sending his lowlights
and saying he's done and he's cooked, he got a chance to start and had a good game. For sure, man, shout out eight. Everybody been sending his lowlights and saying he's done and he's cooked.
He got a chance to start and had a good game.
For sure man, shots at EJ.
Still out there holding it down.
Pistons like we said, took care of the Nets yesterday.
113 to 98.
Like you said, Mele Beasley got an opportunity
at hoop yesterday and he killed.
Yeah.
They had 23 and five yesterday, man.
Gonna get another paycheck, boy.
I see.
Yeah, yeah.
Run it up for sure.
The Blazers beat the Pelicans yesterday 119 to 100.
Zion did not play.
He was nothing on the back to back respect.
Uh-uh.
I hate that, bro.
I hate that NBA, man.
Just who, bro?
I'll be down a month, man.
I gotta take my time, bro.
Yeah, you can't rush it, though.
Cause he played a back to back for Rambi Alfred
another year.
They was laughing.
They were just like, we gonna show that Zion Wimel
and then he not gonna play the next game.
Lo and behold.
I mean, y'all knew that though.
I guess.
That was fire.
Give us some to Pelkins, man.
I got plenty of games tonight.
Wanna see how I feel about him.
He like, this might not sound right,
but he like one of them pops that like come over
every three years.
You get hype when you see your dad,

He gonna be missing for two more years. I can't wait til you go to another team and then play like four years in a row with no health issues. It's gonna be life as hell. He gonna be missing for two more years.

and then play like four years in a row
with no health issues.

That's literally what's gonna happen.
Who worse, him or Kawhi?
Kawhi.
Kawhi's situation different.
Kawhi, bro.
You think Kawhi worse than him?
Yes, bro.
At least Kawhi gave us some five, six good years.
He did.
He did.
Zion haven't gave us no years.
Kawhi solidified his career and got rings.
He did something that a lot of people have never done.
Nah, yeah, I thought you just meant just for the bullshit.
Nah, nah.
See, he do more bullshit because I got rings.
He's like, I'm already proven.
Nah, I mean proven.

We're talking movies, we're talking TV, food, and Ed and Ed's favorite, wrestling.
It's all on Le Table.
