You're listening to an iHeart podcast. Look good. They look good. The Celtics, they gave one a lot. Go away. Hey. 45 missed threes. Jalen Brown, 7 of 20, 1 of 10 from 3.

Jason Tatum, 7 of 23, 4 of 15 from 3. Derek White, 6 of 18, 5 of 16 from 3. Prozingos played 13 minutes. He was dealing with some injuries. The 45 missed threes are more than the Knicks shot threes. The Knicks had been 0-10 versus top three teams this season. They're undefeated against them in the playoffs. I don't get the Celtics. I don't, me, if the Celtics is on,

I don't like watching them play. Because all they do is go come down and jack up threes. Now, I watched last night, Jason Tatum, Jason Tatum shot a three. He got the rebound, shot another three. Somebody else got the rebound, kicked it to him. He shot another three. Guess what? They got the rebound again.

I give you one more guess. What you think he did, Ryan, when he got the ball back? Shot a three, shot a three. How about this here? How about this, Ocho? The Celtics shot the ball 20 times in the third quarter. 19 of them was threes. At what point in time do you say, Ryan, you know,

hey, hey, how about we run, hey, Missoula, come on, hey, Riff, give me a full one. I want a full one. Yeah, but, Unc. Hey guys, come on, let's run a set. I have a question. Let's get something going to the basket. Right.

I got a question though, Unc and Ryan. Yeah. They just won the NBA championship. Doing what last year? Shooting what? Yeah, that was last year. Okay, but this year they had a record. They had the best record in the East,

if I'm not correct, right? No, the Cavs had the best record. The Cavs had the second best record. They had the second best record in the East by doing what? Shooting what? But here's the thing, Ocho record in the East by doing what? Shoot what? But here's the thing, Ocho, in the postseason, you pay for that, you see what happened?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now you blew the Knicks out. You had a 20 point, Ocho, you had a 20 point lead. Yeah. A 20 point lead. They struggled. And you keep shooting, at one point in time you say, hey man, man, you done missed 12 of these things in a these things in the road. You don't get anything going to the basket

Everybody was missing it wasn't just it wasn't it wasn't just one person. Nobody was hidden. Uh Let's see 25 41 so Jason Tatum Jalen Brown and Derek White was a 10 for 41 from the three. Let me challenge you right now. Go ahead.

You talked about Missoula, but the first person you talked about was who? J. Tatum, right? J. Tatum. Your best player as the green light to take the basketball, get on the elbow, call his own number, and go one-on-one and go make a play. Now granted, McHale Bridges is a dog.

Okay, OG is a dog. New York has two guys. Well you can't beat the face of the NBA if you can't beat McHale Bridges. Hey, McHale ain't no... You can't beat the face of the NBA. McHale a dog though. McHale and dog.

Hey, I don't care if he a alibi. One of the toughest dogs in the Turkish region. I don't care if he's a doggo. Whatever dog. I don't know what dog you want. You want a South African Borgo? I'll be whatever dog you want. You cannot be the face of the NBA if you're telling me that.

Because you tell me what face of the NBA couldn't go get it regardless of who was guarding it. But here's the thing, you're right. For JT, go get the ball and go make a play. Give McHale Bridges his love. You know, and you're right when you're saying that. You gotta go make a play. He's gotta go get his shot off in that moment.

Now, in terms of the series, I don't know where you guys stand on this. Oh, Joe, I don't know if you jump on Nick's. I don't know. Listen, hey, I don't know. I don't have no horse in the race. And coming out of the East, I'm a Heat fan. I'm so so so I'm OK, OK, OK. Well, put your hat on, because I want to read this to you.

This jumped out the middle most when you talk about the Knicks. And I'm happy for when the Knicks are good as good for basketball. The Calbridges, 51 minutes. OG, 46 minutes. Brunson, 44 minutes. Josh Hart, 45 minutes. You can't win like that against the Celtics because the Celtics, 44, 45, 44 for Jason Tatum, Derek White and Jaylen Brown.

They're going to take a rest. They're going to get breaks. Right. 44, 45, 44 for Jason Tatum, Derek White, and Jaylen Brown. They're gonna take a rest. They're gonna get breaks. They've been conditioned to have their breaks during the season, hence why their record wasn't like that. They were the second in the East. Were they talented enough to be the first? Come on, fellas. Absolutely, so these are the times they have to turn it on.

Give New York some credit. Give Jay, Jaylen Bronson some credit. You talk about dogs. Don't throw it there, don't have it. That ain't no puppy dog. I know he little. Yeah, man. I love that dude. I love his game.

You get it, boy. They're top five. New York's top five and the Celtics top five. They even out. But when you get down and you talk about rest, when you talk about how hard it was for you to get there, when you talk about minutes in the Waring Chair, I'm going to give Boston that edge at the end of the day. But talent wise, you can go like this. You go like this.

Well, because when you look at it, Mikael Bridges can play defense. OG can play defense. Yeah. Josh Hart can play defense. So if you look at the three offensive weapons, so if you go JT, JB, uh, uh, Derek White, we right now with you. And so now you got cat. Now cat is not known as a defensive, but he can pull their big now it'll be interesting to see what prisingas brings back to the table because he only played 13 minutes and They're different team when prisingas is healthy and when he's on the floor doing what he's doing because he can shoot the three

He can run the floor. He can protect the rim So now you they don't really play him and they do some him and Al Horford But you know Al don't give you great production on the defensive end. He can get big threes. Uh, I thought Holliday did a great job yesterday and you see just about every time down the floor, Holliday would take him, then Derek White would take him. Then JB would get a little of him. So they tried to wear him down.

They tried to wear him down. Go ahead. Go ahead, Ryan. Oh, what you think about this and Chad, tell me if I'm wrong with this. I've always felt like the key to the Celtics was Drew Holiday. And I feel like in those moments, obviously I'm calling those two guys out. Drew Holiday's there, and my apologies, he's good enough to have gone and got the ball. And I feel like when he is on, he changes their team.

He's the guy you can't match up with. Because when you go through the scouting report, you think about pressing, taking them off the three-point line, helping on the weak side. Not letting Danden Brown bully you to his right hand. Those are the common sense plays. But Drew Holiday is the guy who can put you in jail. He's a big guard, Chad. He can take you take you underneath and you can't help. You know, the bold, like when Golden State was good, do you, you, Chad, he was like, you one-on-one, I got Curry. I can't leave.

Yeah. You one-on-one. I got Quay Thompson. I can't leave. They shoot the three, maybe not like Golden State, obviously statistically they're better there or they've hit more threes, but you can't help. So if I'm Juul Holliday, someone's bouncing in jail. They ain't gonna bounce the guy off of me.

As a matter of fact, ain't no way, I love Josh Hart, ain't no way Josh Hart guards me. Put him in jail, if the hell comes, you can move the basketball. So I think if there's more of a focus with Juul Holliday and his minutes offensively, I think he's the guy that really gets them going. I think the key last night for the Knicks was OG. Because he's 10 or 20 and he was 6 left for the- He was- Oh, he got better.

She got better. He played unbelievable. Now you know, you look, you better have a big lead in clutch time if you're gonna beat the Knicks. Because that little left-handed joker, Brunson, oh, he gonna get his points now. He's a real deal, boy.

He gonna hit a three, he gonna get to his minute, or you gonna follow him, he gonna go to the free throw line. But you better have a substantial lead. Yeah. But, and I hate saying clutch because it wouldn't be clutch time if the game is more than five points in the last Five minutes, but boy every shot hell

I thought he wanted a regulation because the ball did everything but going to who when he went to the basket and out he went over Al's or I'll straight out stretched arm, but I Do think the Celtics I think the Celtics make right tomorrow And win that game. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So you. It was up 20, Ocho. It was up 20, Ocho.

So you still. They're not going to go to high school. So you still think you got the Celtics to win the series? Yes, I do. Ryan, you got the Celtics to win the series? Yeah, yeah, yeah. For what I'm saying, it's too many minutes for New York. Okay.

They're going out of gas. Here's this though, and this is my thing, kind of with the Celtics, and I think this was an ego-driven move with all due respect to Missoula and those guys. So Chad, when you first got in the league and you saw one on one and you have one on one. Yeah. What, what, what did you expect every single time? I expected the ball to come. Jalen Brunson came off and pick a role.

Hubbard's one through five switch off. He had Al Horford barbecue chicken. Stop doing it. Stop. There's no chicken. What? Ted. At what point did they realize don't leave on your own? You chicken. What? Chad, at what point did they realize, don't leave Ocho alone. You Chad Darson it.

You Ocho King later. Don't leave Chad Jackson alone. Right, right, right. Don't leave him alone. Don't leave him alone. Yeah. Don't leave Jay LaBrunson alone. No, without Horford.

Blitz. You got blitz. That's what the great was gonna do. Hey, let me find out. Hey, Ochoa, just like anything else, you find out you got the hook up at the store. Hey man, you know, such and such a hook you up at the store. What you gonna do? You gonna go down?

You gonna go down there and get that hook up? Oh yeah. Hey, man, look here. You keep calling. What did Ant-Man do against the Lakers? He kept calling, give me Luca. Give me Rui. Nah, nah, nah, no, no,

no, I ain't trying to get Vanderbilt, I ain't trying to get Fendi. Hey, give me one of them. That's what you do. You find a weak link, you find a fish, and you don't let him off the hook. I got to bring you into, I got to get you in the boat. And that's what they did. And you see what the Knicks did? They went to that pick and roll. And every time, I know Al, Al played great defense, but Al is not standing in front of Dre LaBrunza. He gonna get to that step back, or he gonna do the handsy and get to the basket.

You got a choice. I got something you don't wanna hear right now. What is it? So if I'm New York and I'm Tibbs, and I say, how do I win this series? How do I win this series? I'm going to say something you don't want to know. Carl Anthony Towns.

Carl Anthony Towns is somebody that New York, excuse me, that Boston would struggle to match up with. He had 14 points. He's a plus 8, 31 minutes, good solid game. And he's a foul trouble. Yeah, you can't be a foul trouble. Chad, Chad, am I wrong by saying it? Cause if I'm New York. Hold on, I'm gonna ask you which Carl Anthony Towns you talk about. You talk about the one that gonna be in the block and in the post or you gonna talk about. He ain't gonna be in the block in the post because you don't want to play with him back to the basket.

That's everybody's problem with him, right? Shooting the three. What's Carl Anthony's talents? If he... this is mine made up. I don't think Boston can match. Now, of course, Zingus has got size. They got some bodies they can throw at him. But he's the guy that you go, like, I'm telling you from the Celtics standpoint, they're going, we don't want to see him on the block. We don't want to see him driving. We got to get him a grip. You have to attack him and pick and roll. You got to spread the floor and get him off the floor and get him in foul trouble. But if you can go at him, I mean, he played 31 minutes.

Yeah. That's an X factor. If I'm in New York and that starts to take over, cause I know I got Brunson. Right. I know I got Brunson. I know OG is hoopin' on Josh Hart gonna be there when you need him.

Paul Anthony Towns is a guy who can sway this series. Now, unfortunately, we've been saying this for a long time. I think he's had a heck of a year. I think if we're gonna be honest, Minnesota probably lost. If Minnesota had Carl Anthony Towns tonight, they win this game. Because you wouldn't have been guarding them

the way they was guarding. You wouldn't have been going small, you know, hypothetically. But at the end of the day, if he takes over and takes a double team, if they have to double him, now you got action. I like it. Draymond Green was asked if Steph Curry was good when he walked off the floor.

Steph told him, I'll be back. Draymond said the Warriors played several minutes without knowing Steph was out with a hamstring injury. He says Robin turned into Batman and Alfred turned into Robin. Who's Robin and who was Alfred? and Alfred turning to Robin. Who's Robin? Who's Alfred? I think Jimmy was Robin that turned to the bad man

and Dre Bob was Alfred that turned into Robin. Hey, let me ask y'all this because this is such a unique thing that happened tonight and I want y'all to understand this. As basketball players, we don't, unless we have something going from the summer or something, we don't get hamstring injuries. What do y'all expect out of a hamstring? It didn't look like maybe just a grade one, I mean, if I'm not medical-ass-quite, a low level, but like, how do y'all, because y'all always have hamstring injuries. It was, that was a low level grade one hamstring.

You know, you make a certain movement, and it pull and it grab you. And you catch it just in time where it doesn't pull bad, but as bad as it's enough. And you know, okay, you know what? I got to go sit this one out. I got to sit this down. I got to get me an MRI in the morning,

which is why the injury that I think, based on what I saw from Steph, that's two weeks. Yeah, that's too bad Hydrated news just a cramp and he get hey, you know get rehydrated. It's gonna be a little sore And and hopefully, you know, he like you said he'll miss one game and then he can come back. Now, they must run and get two games. Now, hey, I got an extra game I can play with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got an extra game I can play with. Look, I just like the way they play

without their big guy, and that's why you go get a Jimmy Butler. I'm not so sure if you don't have a Jimmy. I'm not so sure if you don't have Jimmy Butler, you're even in this situation. I don't know if you get past Houston without Jimmy Butler. I'm not so sure if you don't have a Jimmy. I'm not so sure if you don't have Jimmy Butler, you're even in this situation. I don't know if you get past Houston without Jimmy Butler. So with that being said, and when Jimmy goes down, Steph picks up,

you get guys filling in, doing a little extra, okay, fine, you can live with that. But it's gonna be interesting to see how Minnesota responds, how they defend, knowing they don't have to worry about all eyes on Steph Curry and worried about him running up and down the court, sideline, baseline to baseline, coming off picks, all those things. It's going to be interesting to see how they defend the Warriors moving forward without Steph.

I'm going to tell you one thing. They they're gonna run Buddy Hilt off the line. They're gonna be able to keep sides. They're gonna keep sides and they're gonna pack the paint on Jimmy Butler. And I think the physicality wraps up on the defensive end. And if I know anything about Chris Finch, defensively, he's a mastermind. He's an expert. So now you don't have to expend your help. And now the confidence is not going to be there now for Golden State. And I want to know how you guys feel about this.

They're hard to play because they hold the ball. They take their time. Yeah. They like, if they have a fast break, they'll throw it ahead. And it's similar to Denver. Denver will throw the ball ahead if they have a fast break. If not, they wait for Jokic. He gets up the court and they, you know, they kind of take their time.

But Bowden State holds the ball. And if you're Anthony Edwards, what's Anthony Edwards? He wants the ball. He's excited. And now you take him out of rhythm. Antman was out of rhythm in the first half. He was rusty because they got done with their series early. They ran through the Lakers. So I don't know if you take a out of rhythm. Right. Ant-Man was out of rhythm in the first half. He was rusty because they had got done with their series early. They ran through the Lakers. So I don't know if you take a heat for that.

They ran through the Lakers. I'm going to throw that out there. But they keep you out of rhythm. So Golden State is dangerous and frustrated to a young team that doesn't want to grind like that. And those are problems that Minnesota has. So Minnesota is going to have to try to create turnovers and pace with the, with, uh, in transition.

Uh, look, I'll, I'll, football is somebody holding the ball. You know, you know, your political offense, we're gonna hold the ball, we're not gonna let you get touches. Yeah. Well, that's what you have to do if you don't, you know, remember Ochoa, that first Super Bowls, the first Super Bowl, the Eagles played against, uh, Patrick Mahomes. Right.

They were snapping the ball each time under five seconds. Because I want to, uh, uh, Patrick Mahomes. Right. They were snapping the ball each time under five seconds because I want to, I want to minimize Patrick Mahomes opportunity time of possession. I don't want him to have all this time. So I'm going to run as much time off the clock. Everything is snapped under five seconds. So we score touchdown. We want to eat nine, 10 minutes off the clock. And, but you know, it worked the first time.

This last football, they just had the better team, and I'm not surprised they won. I'm surprised by how much they won by not that they won. Mm. Dreymon Green calls out Dillon Brooks for not shaking his, shaking anyone's hand after the game. Dreymon labels calls out Dillon Brooks for not shaking anyone's hand after the game. Dreymon labels him a sucker and says nobody respects him. Ryan, that's your guy.

You call the Rockets game, you got to defend his action. Man, I love Dillon Brooks. Dillon's going to do what he wants to do. At the end of the day, when these two personalities collided, I don't think we would have expected anything less with Dylan Brooks and Dre Mon. And the unique part about Dre Mon, shout out to Dre by the way, I like you later, I didn't like you a couple days ago, is that, and I'm still sore over that game seven, is he is able to play the game and then pop on his podcast the next day,

it's called his crash. You don't gotta wait for the media. You don't gotta do it in the presser. You have to come to him and he's not relying on scoring. So he can back it up with his defense. He can back it up with his defense. He can back up with his IQ. Draymond, I played against you. I know your brother, all the flails and all the stuff, they're calculated, they're smart, and his team needs something, he brings it to the table. Tonight, he had three or four three-pointers, as soon as Steph Curry stepped on the floor

from a point total, so back to him and Dillon Brooks. Dillon has been unbelievable for Houston, Houston's culture, what he brings to the table, it's the toughness and the energy, and he's the villain. He plays that role. And you know what? Dreymon gonna defend Steph. He said what he said about Steph and the presser,

that's who Dillon Brooks is, and we love him and embrace him. And I begin with those two personalities, I expect nothing less. Oh yeah. I agree. They're kind of alike, really. I mean, obviously D dream on is more accomplished

He he's asked to do more The stuff is the most like It's hard to dislike it right because you know why right I think everybody likes it because he's a common man you can see like man He's not he's seven foot.'t got shoulders like Dwight Howard, he's just like a common man. Most guys, LeBron is 6'9", most of the guys are honking. And so I can't be him. Man, I can, Steph Curry look like a guy walking down the street.

And he's so likable. You see, you saw him, you saw his daughter. She was on his lap Riley We fell in love with Riley Aisha they do a great job. We got kids, you know everything so it's just hard to dislike him You like man. I don't like now I like Golden State. I just don't like Draymond I'm saying that's how people look at it, man. I love Golden State if they have Draymond I really like them right, but I'm not so sure if they didn't have Draymond, they could be Golden State that we know of today. Ain't no way. Ain't no way.

He's so smart. Listen, I think it was game two and It was game two and game one and our guys were going on the run. All of a sudden, man, he just somebody to the floor. You know, we're building energy. The game had a flow. He just has to flow up, dog. Like, but he knows, listen, and they're baiting them on the internet. Cause they realize this is the craziest thing I've ever seen in a contest. Draymond does forget what he does, he gets a technical

foul right right. So now we're up there calling the game, we're going, he's just one more, he's gone. Torrey Easton picks his pockets, Torrey's about to go down and score, we start a fast break. Dreymon leg kicks Torrey Easton, Torrey goes down and Dreymon pretends like his feet fall on the Torrey's head head and he loves sorry, by the way. So this is basketball and the rest look at it. We're like, he's gone. Finally, he's out. It's over.

The referee came for the schedule and said, that's a flagrant one, two technicals and you're gone. But if you have a flagrant and a technical, only Drainball would know that. Right. So the first one was us, once they're like, the second one was excessive contact. Right. But it wasn't the criteria to meet a flagrant too. Right. And only Drainball would go into a game knowing I've got two Mulligans to play with and I'm going to do whatever it takes for my team to win. And that's the type of guy you normally get that off and chat from the European players.

Right. They grab you where they're not supposed to grab you, they elbow you, they're spitting everything, they do the dirty stuff. Right. But Draymond had just figured that out from the standpoint of like, what do I need to do to be on the floor?

There was nothing sexy about Draymond was a center-ranked college. When he came into the league, we had seven-foot, Draymond got the worst name you can get from a draft report, a tweener. You remember that name? A tweener. Tweener's a good name now because it's saying-

I was a tweener. You a tweener? Yeah. They say I was too big to play wide receiver, I was too small to play a tight end. No position. So Draymond was this even between us. So that's a good thing now, but he runs seven feet

and he couldn't handle the ball per se well enough or shoot the ball to play on the wing. So he made a name for himself. You know what I'm saying? He made a name for himself and he's done enough and it's unbelievable, honestly. Yeah, I was too big and too slow to play wide receiver, but I was too small to play tight end.

I did okay, I didn't put many H's back. You only 6'2"? Huh? You only 6'2"? 6'2", yeah. I played it like 2'28". Y'all football numbers be lyin'. Chad, all about 5'11".

Ooh! No, I'm legit 6'3", Chad. I'm legit 6'2". Man, I'm 6'3", Ty. I'm legit 6'2". Man, I'm 6'3", man. What you talking about? You ain't seen me in a while. Sherry, you get on the court with me again. I'm putting them elbows in your face.

I'm gonna say that, man. Man, listen, did you say what you want? I went nice to you last time. Don't call it Ryan. Hey, listen, everybody that has played in the NBA, including current players right now, everybody has tried to play me and everybody has lost. Now, if you want me to add you to the hit list,

I can add you to the hit list. He got Joe. Let me say something. We were on the set at ESPN and he talked pretty easy to me. And I'm like, man, whatever, we in the set. Next thing I know, they done cleared the desk out. I'm here playing one on one. I turn around know, they done cleared the desk out. A minute here, playing 101. I turn it around, Chad just tackled me, bro.

We can't play with football players. He grabbed my arm and do it. Chad, next time, let's give me your elbow so you ain't got no trash to talk. And then, we don't even talk. Next one couldn't beat me. LeBron couldn't beat us, and Chad. Hey, Chad, come on.

All of them, nobody, none of them, none of them. Well, he and Joe got a bet too. He say he want Joe one on one. Unbelievable. Yeah, unbelievable. I'm playing football rules. I'm playing, I'm playing prison rules for you next time. I've been in the gym, whatever you want to do. Elbow, elbows, you know, it don't matter, I'm good.

Jalen Green takes blame for the Rockets' playoff loss to the Warriors. Green said he played like ish in the playoffs. Beside that one game, ish, straight ish. I gotta be better. Lowest field goal percentage this playoffs. Minimum 75 field goal attempts. Jalen Green, 37.2.

Malik Beasley, 37.3, Shay Gildgeis Alexander, 41.5, Jason Tatum, 41.7. He did. With the exception of game two, when he had 38, he was awful. And he probably gonna be the part of that package that get KD into Houston. And you know why I love you asking me this right now? know, I love you asking me this right now.

You know, I love you asking me this right now. Just do the Anthony Edwards. Man and dog. No question. Ant Man and Dog. Now Jaylen is behind Anthony Edwards, but he's comparable as far as the two guards. Hopefully you'd see the progression be there. Holden stated really what defensively now, make no mistake, Jalen Green's got to

get got to get stronger. He just saw what the playoffs looked like. He's got to learn how to move without the ball in his hands. And these are things we've got the greatest coaching staff in the NBA with Eme Uduk and those boys. So there's going to be no question that he's going to have a long summer. And Jalen Green takes stuff personal. The boy don't forget.

So he's going to be in the lab working on the things. He got his first, guys, it's his first taste of playoff basketball. Let's not overreact. How old is Jalen? 21? 22? 22, bro. 22 at most.

22 at most. So, and he planned his grown man. It was the worst matchup because from, they weren't more talented, with all due respect to Golden State, but they were smart and they were experienced. So they got physical with him. They forced him to his left hand.

And they pressed him, okay? You saw what they did with Anthony Edwards. But you know what it is? I think the thing is for Jalen is that, like you said, it was a, it was a terrible matchup and he has to understand to whom much is given, much is required. Yeah. I think the thing is that he, he has to understand that's unacceptable. That's unacceptable because if you want to be at that level, you got to be at that level. And I, I, I agree with you.

I do believe he'll put that time in because you see the way, I mean, the jump that he made from one year to two years, two years to three years, he's only going to improve. Um, but that was a, if he plays like he plays in the regular season, y'all win that, you know, y'all win that series, right? It was good. And you know what, you know y'all win that series, right? It was good. And you know what, you know what, I'm still sore right now, it was only Sunday.

Our guys fought hard and I didn't think they put their best foot forward. I thought we were much better, even if we lost, I didn't think we put our best foot forward over here in Houston, but I wanted to sing. When you have that series that stings, you don't forget it. You go into it all season, you go to get better. And also, I don't know how y'all feel about this,

but him, he's so athletic. Some guys gotta dance to get there. Like Brunson's small and he's on what all do respect. He's not a great athlete. So he gotta dance and shoulder, Jaylen can dribble to his spot and pull up. there's nothing you're going to be able to do. And when he simplifies his game from the two pointer, from the three, even going to the hole, maybe it's not a dunk, it's a float.

And he simplifies his game. That's going to be the difference. So you go, ain't no way Buddy Hill can guard me. It ain't no way Jerry Payton a second because I'm going get to a spot and I'm gonna shoot right over that's gold That was Jordan. Mm-hmm That's where Jaylin Green takes the next step, right? I like I like did and let me and let me say this too real quick and you got no players like this Young guys like this in situations What he has doesn't throw on trees

this in situations. What he has doesn't grow on trees. The way the boy moves and jumps and runs and he got the it factor where when he gets hot the boy's red. Oh yeah, he's creaky as hell. Yeah. But it don't grow on trees. When you have a guy that athletic you're gonna give more opportunities. Right. You're gonna see the value being there within them. And keep in mind, he did absolutely make strides, but the playoffs are a whole different beast. But if you get a chance to get Kevin to rant, you package him?

I think the best thing with Houston right now, and this is above my pay grade, okay, first off, as we said, you have options where you can go in and you can say, guys, we've got a whole put with what we have. We have enough to where let's challenge and let everybody get a year older

while we're still young in our twenties. We just played a bunch of 30-somethings and we're 20-something. So I'd say they not gonna be there for that long. Can y'all be OKC in a seven game series? Cause they're younger than you guys. OKC will be excellent matchup. Did you see this year? Put them hands, feet, and paws on OKC. You say playoffs are different now. They're just as young as we are. You saw they don't

have the experience. It would have been a game, even Minnesota would have been better for Houston because you try to out-athletic us. You're not going to out athletic Houston. Now you might out think, you might out experience, you might go to antics like Breitman did. But athletes are athletes, you got to mention Thompson going to million miles per hour with Ant-Man sticking right where I'm like, Lou. He's different.

He's different. He's different. He's different. But in terms of Houston, you can hold Pat. Or if you go to get a guy, it's got to be the right piece. So you have options in which you can play with. And for an organization, Rafael Stone done an unbelievable job

because you don't want, like Milwaukee's pressed. When they ain't down there pressed, they don't have moves they can make. Phoenix is pressed right now. The only thing that they don't want to get rid of KD, you have to get rid of KD. Or if you get rid of Booker, you need the house to come back.

Oh, Booker's not going anywhere. But another thing you can have, you can have everything else. You're not getting Book. But you know, no, no, no, no. Booker has a price. It's just the whole house. I need fold drive picks. I need this guy, this guy, this guy.

So very likely Booker's not going anywhere. But the reason I say that is the other organizations are pressed Houston can sit back and chill. They don't have to make a move. They don't have to get the rank. They don't have to go after Yannis. You know what I'm saying? The asking Price, they talk about Yannis on the block. It's going to be a high one. You know what I'm saying? You don't need to do that. He don't wanna tell me y'all. Yanis is reportedly has a short list. Sorry.

Yanis wants to play in Los Angeles, New York or Miami if he lives Milwaukee. I told you. The Los Angeles is not the Lakers. He's not gonna play with LeBron and Luka. So that means the Clippers. Do the Clippers have, I don't know if the Clippers have anything to give up.

What can they give up to get it? Do the Clippers have any first-round draft picks? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They might not be draft picks. Zubac just had an unbelievable year. He might be on the table. Norman Powell should have been an All-Star. If LeBron hadn't pulled up lame, I think Norm would have been an all star. If he had a reporter that he wasn't going to play in that game before, uh,

they got pieces. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe it's not. Hold on. You want me to give you a guy that's won two regular season MVPs, a finals MVP. He's about to be a first team all the NBA for about the seventh or eighth straight year. And you talking about, you got Norman Powell and Zubats? No, you need some picks in there. You need some picks. They ain't got no picks. They got action. I already told you. They ain't got no picks. I mean, you're probably

gonna have to get like four or five teams involved, but you ain't got no picks. Or let's say it's Harden, per se. I mean, it's Harden. Well, who's gonna be your boy guard? You figure it out. You got Yannis, you go figure it out. Well, they got Yannis when you're walking, they can't figure it out. You see what happens when you start giving up the pieces?

When you gave up two holiday? Think about the, look at, look at, look at Phoenix. The team that Phoenix went to the NBA finals with, they broke that team up. And Chris Paul was old, huh? Chris Paul was old now. That's how you do something. I like your hypotheticals.

He can give seven, eight cents a game. That's all we need from Chris Paul. I understand the Clippers, I agree with you. It may possibly have to be a three or 14 deal if it is the Clippers. So it wouldn't just be straight up. A lot of times those things come with a lot. Think about what you gave up to get,

what you gave up to get, what you had to give up to get Paul George, what you had to give up to get, I think, was James Hard traded or he went there? I think they traded James Hard. I almost want to say he was traded. I almost want to say he was traded. I think he was traded to the Clippers.

Yeah, I almost want to say he was traded. I'm not 100%. Shout out Big Don Eddie Curry man. Eddie Curry saying we doing a great job man. Eddie the monster. Eddie get on the bad man. Chad you play soccer I play bad. You play who? I play bad I'm cold. No you ain't no you ain't cold but you got AC on. You probably cold because you got the AC on. You ain't cold as a game. Chad, FIFA is your game. You do realize I'm a part of Matt. I'm a part of production, making the game being made, developing, all that. Chad, you know I did the, Chad, do you know I did the Matt broadcast this year? I'm really, you know. Because you did the broadcast. Hold on, hold on. Okay, they say, if you want to say compared,

I'm a G League player. You're not beating a G League. I could beat the average Joe. I'm a professional player. I'm a pro. I'm a streamer. You're great in FIFA. No.

Unbelievable. Play me, play me, play me, play me. Matter of fact, let's make a bet. Let's make a bet in Madden. Come on. Let's play a bet in Madden. Come on. Let's play for fifty two hundred. Come on Chad. Fifty two hundred.

Alright Hey check this out guys Jason Pierre Paul had his luxury Richard Miller watch stolen while attending f1 formula Formula one weekend party in Hollywood, Florida Jpp said he felt something fall off when a group of men Boxed him while he tried to move through the pack club. Moments later when a friend asked what time it was, he realized his 400 grand Richard Mill was gone. Some bold boys. JPP about 6'5", just 6'5", 270 right? Yeah, it was easy to come up because you know he's missing a couple of pinages so they slid it up. Stop. Stop dawg. I wasn't gonna stop. Stop. Stop.

It depends, it depends on what you have. 60, my arm 6702 is the Velcro. Oh, oh, that's easy to get off. Yeah, it's easy, it's easy to get off. Somebody touch you and it's crazy.

But you would feel something like that coming off though. He said he felt like something dropped off. So how could you not look? Oh, he felt something? Okay. I know they ain't taking off them. We know they, that's the big man right there. They boxed a man. So that's what they did. They boxed a man. Hey, Ocho, you know how you get, hey, you try to, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. And them jokers done got in the parking.

But you know what? But you know what? It ain't, I don't care. Man, look, I have had stuff stolen. It ain't the same. It ain't. Even when you get your money back? No, because here's the thing.

For me, those watches, each watch that I bought, it symbolized something because I was at a place where I had to like, I had to take two, three years in order to get it. Get it. Now I can just go get it. It don't have the same meaning. You know what I'm saying, Ochoa? When you save up and get that first Rolex,

or you save up and you get your first Patek, it is different. And now, you know, you just go get it. I mean, watches, I mean, I like watches, but it doesn't have the same meaning I had 30 years ago when it was like, man, I saw that. And I got like, okay, in two years, I'm gonna save me enough money,

do an autograph, do an appearance here, do an autograph sign in there, Ojo. I'm gonna get that. I'm gonna get that Day-Date, blackface, diamond bezel. I'm gonna get that. Now, I mean, you go get a watch, I mean, cause you know, you make good money. It ain't the same to me.

Woo! All right, Sheldon Pope wants to know, Ryan, who's a bigger figure in Boston?

Paul Pierce or Tom Brady? Who asked that? Sheldon Pope. That's a good question though. I love Paul Pierce. What Paul did for Boston, you can question. But Thomas Edward Brady? Now Brady is the goat of all goats.

So even beyond Boston, his name is unquestionable. But Paul got his strikes, man. You know what I'm saying? I need people to put full respect on Paul right now man. Don't you think Paul, don't you think he comes behind let's see Larry Bird, don't you think he comes behind Bobby Orr, don't you think he comes behind Ted Williams, don't you think he comes behind Bill Russell, That's just for him. 100%. Tom Brady, Tom Brady.

Let me ask you a question. If we do a Mount Rushmore, cause this is the way you have to do it when you do. If you do a Mount Rushmore, who's going on Boston's Mount Rushmore? Larry Byrd, Red Auerbach, Brady,

and shoot, if you want to go coach, you go Billy Shack, I can just say what he's done. Big Bill, right? If we put names, I'm not familiar with baseball, maybe there's another name in there, or a boxing lid. There you go, Ted Williams. So, I mean, there you go. I mean, are we sure? Are we sure?

Our generation all takes the basketball, but we can't compare with those other sports, I don't, are we sure, are we sure? Our generation, Paul takes the basketball, but we can't compare with those other sports, I don't believe. Because are we sure, Paul is gonna be in front of Big Poppy? Ooh, that's a good one. You know they love Big Poppy and both. That's a good one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a tough one. I love Paul, shout out to you, former teammate. I'm gonna put him on there, he my teammate, I'll play with Paul, yeah, yeah. That's a tough one. I love Paul, shout out to him, former teammate. I'm gonna put him on there, he my teammate. I'll play with Paul. He my guy. Blackleg71, hey Uncle Nocho, I wanna bet y'all 5200 of them Boston

make them threes in game two. Well, I hope they don't have back to back games where they miss 45 threes, but I don't know if they should take 60 threes. They won't. They won't. They won't have another game like that. Aaron Owen said the Cavs got me ready to crash out.

I'm sick, bro. This thing is hard for me to see a scenario. It's hard for me to see a scenario in which they win this series. Right. I don't know what you're thinking. But I said it from the beginning because because Indiana, their clutch, their underrated, Miles Turner is a headache because he can pop and shoot threes and he can dive and block shots.

And then they injured. It's a mental thing right now with players. And when they get back to India, they're gonna be going crazy. And it's not like this is a team with the Cavaliers that we're looking at, we're going with, man, we know who, we know who Golden State was gonna be in game seven. That's as tough.

You know who Denver was gonna be. Yoke could show those boys. You still figuring out who the Cavs are. They're very talented, unbelievable year, but the challenge is, they gotta know who they're gonna be showing up, and we don't have that confidence yet. Devin Jett said, Cavs about to fold like Ryan Hollis and Madden.

Hehehehehe. Hehehehehe. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe Hehehehehehehehehe Hehehehehe Hehehehehe Hehehehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe Hehehe He And this and that they got that whooped on with no stuff in the second half Hell they have stuff from midway through the second quarter on The six foot Aquarius hey, uh before so bonus we had Bill Walton true Bill Walton was a great passing big man knees with Yeah, knee and foot and feet problem.
