rolling with this show. Some have said it's their favorite podcast. Of course. I don't know you. I think we still got to... No, we still got... Yeah, we got to...

We doing better than the Bucks. I'll say that. Damn. That means we got a lot of haters, huh? Oh, haters are great. Damn, you going to let them throw a shot like that? A lot of haters. I can. I paid her than the Bucs. I'll say that. Damn. That means we got a lot of haters, huh? Haters are great. Damn, you're going to let them throw a shot like that? A lot of haters.

I can. I pander to the Bucs. They employ my father. Trickle down effect. Dad, I'm sorry. You know I love you. I had to get the memes out. I have Bucs people coming at me.

Why are you doing this like that? If you win, you don't get packed up. It's simple rules. That's it. And remember, everybody in the chat, ask your best question. It'll be featured in our Mostly Fans segment. Make sure it's a good question. Not too much bug shit, you already know.

We mourning right now. We in a transitional state. We don't know what's really going down. Transitional. Still can't believe it. Still can't believe what I saw with my very own eyes. But before we start with the show, it was a wild night around the association. But it was a wild day for the internet, too.

I don't know if y'all saw this yesterday, but New York Post dropped an article with one of the wildest headlines I think I've seen ever. So the headline was, we're conjoined twins and share a vagina, but only one of us has a boyfriend. Excuse me? Conjoined twins. They share a private part, but only one of them is booed up. The other one, they're conjoined, so there's a picture of the two conjoined twins and the one with her boo, the other one solo double. So one's delusional.

So one's delusional, because one vagina, y'all both got the same boyfriend, okay? That's just a weird experience of a threesome, that's all. Didn't they make a movie about that? They did that in Living Colors, back in the day with, uh, Kenan and Damon Wayans. Like, Kenan was a successful one and Damon was working at the fast food spot. I don't know if y'all remember that. I'ma just be honest.

This might go south. We go? Mentally, as a man, you gotta be— something's going wrong with you. You gotta— You not smashing. It's two for one. I get it. It's like the... It's the underdog match.

I'd rather have one head, two vaginas. All right? Really? Yeah. One head, two vaginas versus the other way. But you're getting the underdog deposit match. You put in 100, you get 100. It's a deposit match.

It's the bonus money. I like that, man. All right. Everyone needs love, I guess. Well, the head is going to be that, man. All right. Listen, everyone needs love, I guess. Yeah. Well, the head is going to be a little different, ain't it? You get two at once. You know what I'm saying?

No, one single still. Could joint twins need love, too? One single still, remember. One single, yeah. Fucking delusion. How do you figure the other twin and you don't have a boo? Are you salty? Because you got to go everywhere with... You got to go on dates and do all that shit.

Absolutely. Listen, now this is funny when you think about it. What if the other one just talked shit the whole time? That's what I'm saying, haters. This is like the other one that's single just booing. Just booed. Now that's fucking funny. Now that just seems funny now.

But if you're the boyfriend... Just booed. You're the boyfriend. Weak. You go out to dinner. Weak. Does the boyfriend Just boo You're the boyfriend. You are weak There's a boyfriend gotta pay for both of them Or he just paying for the one he's with pay it for the one she's single. She's single

So what you doing? Are you tapping? That real name for you this stop Brad I just put that in there cuz I know I want to lighten your spirits up All right, I know Falls on you. What did I do? Whatever I say false. I blame the New York Post They shouldn't put the article up. They definitely shouldn't put this shit. That's horrible So before we get into the nitty the gritty and the shitty I just got a special message for Adam silver and then folks over at the NBA. Stop putting these fucking games so close together, man. Stop doing it.

Facts. Game five, Warriors-Kings. Game five, Heat Bucks. Started within 30 minutes apart of each other. I'm not bothered. Y'all don't got Jumbotrons and TVs and screens. I had to watch on my one home cable TV, flipping back and forth, missing action on both games. Y'all don't got TiVo?

Or they don't even work anymore? I'm shit. Do you still do that? Oh, yeah. I could have recorded, but even that. They don't got Tivo? Or they don't even work anymore? I'm shit. Do you still do that? Oh yeah, I could've recorded, but even that. They don't got Tivo anymore? Yeah, I had one and one, so I was just watching sideways. But it's just frustrating, you know, about half and half.

Get it together, baby. That's all I gotta say to the league. Space them shits out. Four games in one day? It's a little too much for my viewing pleasure. But let's talk about we got to get to it. You know, probably the saddest playoff series. I don't even know how to really lead into this. Let's just talk about the Heat, man.

Barely made the playoffs. Snuck into the A seed. Facing the Bucs. Best record in the league. The best team in the NBA. He proceeded to become just the sixth team in NBA playoff history to send the top seed to Cancun. This was the first time since 2012. Y'all remember the Sixers Bulls.

Derrick Rose was injured, though, so they're, you know. Giannis was injured here, too, but similar situation. Interesting note, though, Drew Holiday was on that Sixers team, so he's got to experience both sides of this. I'm sure he would have rather experienced the other side and got that dub. But playoff Jimmy, you know, got to show our love. Added another iconic performance to his resume, 42 points. Game time bucket with just.5 seconds remaining to send it to overtime.

I know y'all don't want to see it. I know, Brandon, you don't want to see it, but we're going to show it in a little bit. Game time, one of the craziest shots I think I've ever seen to tie the game. Some questionable substitution patterns. You know, no Brick Lopez in the game. What are we doing?

Letting Jimmy get that bucket. Heat trail by 16, entering the fourth, responding with the largest fourth quarter comeback in a series clinching win in playoff history. Second straight game, blowing a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. So after the game, Giannis was hotter than the block on the Fourth of July. Hydrate, Gil, hydrate. This might be the whole show.

We got other shit slated. And this is liquor. So you know. Man, it's different. It's going to kick in at some point. It's going to kick in at some point. I smoked my blunts know, man, it's different. It's gonna It's gonna kick in at some point. I smoke my blunts today too. So I'm half-hired so don't Shit, you just young now. Come on Yeah So we got to just start with with Giannis went off on a Bucks reporter after the game after asking what I thought was a reasonable

Question. Hmm. I just asked about the exact same question, but I'm curious for you. Do you view this season as a failure? Stress. Because I'm not at a... You asked me the same question last year, Eric. Okay. Do you get a promotion every year on your job? No, right? So every year you work as a failure. Yes or no? No. Every year you work, Έχεις προμόρφωση κάθε χρόνο στο δουλειά σου, έτσι κάθε χρόνο δουλεύεις ως φαίνεται. Όχι ή όχι? Όχι. Κάθε χρόνο που δουλεύεις, δουλεύεις προς κάτι, προς ένα στόχο. Αυτό είναι να δημιουργείς προμόρφωση, να μπορείς να φροντίσεις τη οικογένειά σου, να μπορείς να...

Δεν ξέρω, να προσφέρεις ένα σπίτι για αυτούς ή να φροντίσεις τους παππούς σου. Δουλεύεις προς ένα στόχο. Δεν είναι φαίνεται. Είναι στάδια για το επιτυχίασμα. Και αν ποτέ δεν έχεις... Δεν ξέρω, δενήναση, είναι μία πρόταση στον επιτυχία. Και αν δεν έχεις ποτέ... Δεν θέλω να μιλήσω. Είναι πάντα μία πρόταση στον επιτυχία. Ο Μάρτος Γιώργιος παίρνε 15 χρόνια, πήγε το 6ο πρωτοβουλίο, τα άλλα 9 χρόνια ήταν αφήναση,

αυτό μου πείτε. Είμαι πραγματικά σε εσάς. Ναι ή όχι. Ναι ή όχι. Ωραία, οπότε γιατί μου ρωτάτε αυτή την ερώτηση. Μου πήρε. Είναι λάθος ερώτηση. I'm actually a question. Yes or no? Yes or no? Okay, exactly. So why are you asking that question? Triggered. It's a wrong question. There's no failure in sports. You know, there's good days, bad days. Some days you are able to be successful, some days you're not.

Some days it's your turn, some days it's not your turn. And that's what sport is about. You don't always win. Some other people are going to win. And this year, somebody else is going to win. Similar as that. We're going to come back next year, try to be better, Δεν θα κερδίζεις πάντα. Θα κερδίζουν και άλλοι. Και αυτό το χρόνο θα κερδίζει και άλλος. Αυτό είναι το ίδιο. Θα έρθουμε το επόμενο χρόνο, να προσπαθούμε να είμαστε καλύτεροι, να δημιουργήσουμε καλές συνθήκες, να παίξουμε καλύτερα,

να μην έχουμε 10 μέρες με το μπέσμα. Και ελπίζω να κερδίσουμε το πρωτοβουλίο. Οπότε, 50 χρόνια από το 1971 μέχρι το 2021, που δεν κερδίστηκαν το πρωτοβουλίο, ήταν 50 χρόνια αφιερώσεων. Όχι, δεν ήταν. Ήταν στάδια. Και ελπίζουμε να κερδίσουμε ένα. that we didn't win the championship, it was 50 years of failure. No, it was not. It was steps to it, and we were able to win one, hopefully we can win another one.

Sorry, I didn't want to make it personal. Because you asked me the same question last year, and last year, I wasn't in the right mind space to answer the question back. Giannis said, today I have time though. write mind space to answer the question back. Giannis said, today I have time, though. He should have just called him a broke boy and walked off. It saved us a minute and 40 seconds of our life. So, I'll start with you.

You want to start with me? You want to start with him? Who amused on me? Oh, man, he's triggered. Is there failure in sports, and do you consider this playoff failure for the Bucs? You can tell Giannis from overseas because he missed the Michael Jordan commercial. The ultimate commercial.

Remember the commercial? The reason that I succeed because I failed, I failed, I failed. This is the reason why I succeed. I missed these shots. I missed that shot. That's a failure. When you don't win and you don't reach the goal, you fail and you come back and you try again. You fail, bro.

When you lose, that's a failure. Winning is a success. Two different metrics. So I think that he just got a little confused. He didn't need to get into the Michael Jordan catalog and go find out what success and failure really is. Because your ass lost. Don't be mad at the motherfucking reporter for asking the question. Just answer it a little bit better.

Next question. That's right. It reminds me of White Man Can't Jump where she was like, sometimes when you win, you really lose. Sometimes when you lose, you really win. And sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie. But sometimes when you tie,

you actually win or lose. I don't know what the fuck that shit meant, but it resonates right now. Gil, thoughts? You want to go with him or you want to go? Brady, you got it. I mean, I think once you win a championship, you know, every year, you know, you're trying to come back to win. So, you know, it is a failure. I mean, but they're going to keep asking those questions. I mean, you know, the reporters are expecting you to get back to that, to where you were two years ago. And, you know, reporters are doing his job. Like, you gotta be a little careful with the, I always feel like players need

to be careful with comparing their situations with Michael Jordan, just off the fact that, you know, Michael Jordan, when he did win a championship, after that, he kept winning championships. It wasn't he didn't lose in the first rounds or he didn't lose in the Eastern Conference Finals. He kept going to the finals. So I think for Giannis, it's his career. It's up to him, you know, we'll see what happens but I wouldn't do the comparison, you know with anybody cuz he's his own man That's all

It's great. Look that was a great argument for him if he's a lawyer Amazing right, you know, it's like it made you really believe, like, yeah, you know, Giannis is right. You know, the American almost came out and made him want to cuss. For real. I'm not going to take this personal. But at the end of the day, you were supposed to win the championship, or you were supposed to be in that running. You were favored. You was in the top three of winning the championship.

You were the number one team in the nba did you fail yes if you lost the first round you fucking failed you lost to an eight seed who barely made it that is failure this is america right this is america you failed like where your prediction is if you didn't get close to your prediction, you failed. It's like saying, going to a job and say, all right, you're going to make $1,000 today. I have a check for $1,000 today. All you do is you got to finish the job.

This is the things you got to do. And then you leave there with 50 bucks. And then say, hey, I got paid. I won. No, bitch, that's not, no. $50 is not what you're supposed, you were supposed to win $1,000, right? You made the bare minimum to who you're supposed to be.

So, yes, it's a failure. If I was the reporter, I would have asked him a follow-up question. A follow-up question is, okay, well, you say it's steps to building a championship. Do you think you move forward or backwards? Ooh. Because he can't say he moved forward. This year you can't say you moved forward towards the goal. You moved backwards this year because you lost to them.

But, you know, at the end of the day, that team was built for them. Like his worst shooting percentage in playoffs or against any individual team is against them. They play him very well. And, you know, he can't, he can't, listen, we can't blame him. He does what he do. Right? He played well.

He plays well. It's the system. It's really the system. It's not him. Like, he did what he's supposed to do. He was injured. I mean, you know, most of the series. But at the end of the day, you know, you need better players around you.

But that's that point, too. But that's that point, too, what you said, too. Even if they did win it. Remember, we were saying, like, well, you know, I'll go get Dane. They didn't get better. They didn't get better. I feel like they didn't get better after the championship. Like, they didn'll go get Dane. They didn't get better. They didn't get better. I feel like they didn't get better after the championship. They didn't go get more pieces.

They just came the same guys. And they lost P.J. Tucker. Yeah. They lost their main dog. Let me ask y'all a question. Did Jimmy Butler will the Miami Heat to win the series? What did Jimmy Butler do to take his team to the top? Willed it. Willed it, right? Mm-hmm. So why didn't Giannis do what Jimmy did? win the series. What did Jimmy Butler do to take his team to the top?

Wield it. Wield it, right? So why didn't Giannis do what Jimmy did? Well, Giannis played well. He was hurt. He was hurt. I mean, he was hurt. He was hurt. Two and three. But he came back three and four, right? Four and five. Four and five. He had two games to do what he needed to do to wield his team, right? So my question is, it's like Jimmy

did what he needed to do. He didn't depend on any of the outside pieces to help him wield the Jimmy did what he needed to do. He didn't depend on any of the outside, you know, pieces to help him will the team. And Giannis needed to do the same thing. So for him to be triggered like that, it's like either you regret not giving more, doing more, or you're going to put the blame on somebody else. Well, I mean, he did his part. So he can't like he's not gonna Throw anybody under the bus But what's his part His part should be winning

But his part Like you His part is You're the leader You're the MVP You're all Coaching Coaching too

Coaching What's his number 39 Four Like he's He's playing against Somebody who's playing better This is the only

Y'all see me This is the only No that doesn't matter Like If he throws If you're If you're number two guys, you know, scoring six points, you don't want to throw him under the bus. Nah, but the same results, still the L.

Yeah, but, you know, he did his part. He did his part, but no adjustments. What else did he do? So, Giannis for the series, but you got to quantify all this shit. 23, 11, and 5 in the three games, but he only played 11 minutes in game one, had six points. Game four had 38, 10, and 13. Triple-double. Game five had 38.

The average, as you said, was 23, 11, and 5. Because he had 11 minutes. Because 11 minutes in game one. So basically he averaged 38 when he played. So 32-ish, if my math is right. Yeah, 32-ish. So it's him getting his numbers. No, no, no. The two games he lost, what did he put up?

He put up a triple-double. 26-10 and 13 and 38-20 and three. So he's averaging 32, 32 and 15. Those are his numbers. 32, 15 and eight. Around, you know, I mean those two. You know, but playing against a dude at 56? Shit, who's two?

But remember what you said though. This is what you said. You said in the playoffs, to be elite, your production and your shit goes up. Yeah. His did not. Yeah, it did. Yeah, he just got hurt. He averaged 32.

That's because he got hurt. If he doesn't get hurt, those numbers go up. That's like, he's averaging 40. I'm talking about after. When he come back, you still got to go. Yeah, he had to score the triple-double. But those were his regular season numbers. But what I'm saying is, he had got the gold. Yeah, he scored a triple-double. Those were his regular season numbers. But what I'm saying is

he had a great number. This beats anybody, but he played against a dude who had 56. He's offset. It's just that he didn't have no other power. Me, with him, he did his job. They just got to get better.

I don't know if Middleton even played well this season. I fucked it up. First game, he came back 26-10 at 13. Then 38-20 at three. For everybody in the chat who's trying to question me. I just want to put that out there. Do your job. It's Sunday or Saturday.

You got one job. But I think for all y'all, Giannis obviously looked pissed being asked that same question again. What's the easiest way to not be asked that question again? Win the fucking series. They don't ask you about those failures. Yeah, I get it. But, I mean, listen, he handled it in a professional way being that heated. Yeah, way more.

Like the NBA, if he said something bad, he would have been fined, right? Which is fucked up, right? You're putting guys in situations for their natural behavior to kick in. Everyone's not Michael Jordan. Everyone's not going to really sit there and dissect what he's saying and give a traditional answer. He had to really compose himself to answer that. Now, if he goes off the rail and his true emotions come out, you're going to find him for it. What the fuck is the point

of interviews anyway? At this point in time, why do we need interviews? 99% of all interviews after the game, no one ever sees any of this shit. It's live shit. Local ass bitches. Clickbait. It's just local ass bitches. You right. I'm serious. We don't hear nothing. What did Drew Holiday say?

What did Milton say? We don't know nothing about what they're doing. We don't. This is local shit that does not hit SportsCenter. Like, if you're going to have these guys talk, just do it on ESPN or TNT like he did Draymond Green. Like because other than that, that local shit, it just gets players

in trouble. But Gil, we got to be. No one sees it. We got to be professional, right? No one sees it. So we understand that. But what is the, like he said, what's the easiest way to avoid being ticked off when you're ticked off and you're showing it, right? Next fucking question. Next fucking question.

Next fucking question. All right pass it is not a fine because I'm answering the question next question. Now, but then they go Eric. Hey Eric, you asked me the same question last year next question, bro. That's dumb. Well, now you got a narrative on you. Now, don't matter. I'm Yannis.

Well shit you got a narrative anyway now because I lost in the first I'm Giannis. Well, shit, you got a narrative anyway now. Because I lost in the first round. It can't get no lower than this. Next fucking question. He did that last year. That's why he said it. I didn't have the thought process. I got this shit. I didn't do that last year.

It's worse, though, because last year you didn't lose in the first round. It's just one of those things where I don't understand the everyday beat writers anymore. At this point, your jobs are really... What is the point of them? Like, what are you doing besides aggravating players? That's all you're doing at this point in time. You're just there to aggravate the player every single day because... That's the point of your job.

We don't see... But who sees that? The column... I see it on Twitter. The only time we see those is if one of those players say something outrageous. Other than that, we don't see. Well, that's the point, to get that response. What I'm saying is, have we seen any of Trae Young's, any Booker's, any KD's beat writer comments after any of the games?

Kawhi Leonard? No, we don't see this shit. I do. I see it. You see it? We have you on Twitter. Yeah, you got to get on Twitter. Basketball Twitter.

You started the Twitter. All these beat writers have Twitter accounts. We heavy on Twitter. Yeah, you gotta get on Twitter. Basketball Twitter. You started the Twitter, you gotta come over. All these beat writers have Twitter accounts and they write everything. Oh, they do? Yeah. You on IG. Oh, they do?

Oh, they do? You on IG heavy. Twitter is more reactionary in real time. We see a lot more of it. Yeah. It's just beat writers are just pointless to me. You're not getting nothing real. You're not getting nothing real. And if I do give you something real I'm spazzing

Well, that's what the beat writers do They take the little that you give them like you used to get pissed about like don't do that shit with them cuz they take it They can spin it. Hmm. That's what they waiting for a the bottom feeders, but that's but that's a lot see I'm getting far I'm getting fine because I'm fucking with bottom feeder. Yes. That's why I said, next fucking question. So the athletes are Morton's beat writers as Burger King. Yes. And then we're just sitting here just all season, fucking 82 games, trying not to get fined by these aggravating Burger King writers. Yep.

Okay. So, Brian, I know you say you're against players doing podcasts, but in a situation like this, obviously for narrative purposes or whatever, but you're making Giannis go up there, heat it a moment. What are you really the expectations? It's almost like they're looking for something like this because this is the thing that they're going to go with. And, Rashad, your point, if he just goes up there and says next question,

you're going to be pissed about it too. So where do we find that balance? I mean, I feel like he didn't do anything wrong. feel like he he answered the question boom he did what he said like he was professional all right boom next like like that's how you're supposed to do it though at the end of the day yes you're frustrated because you lost but he still stood up there like a man and answered the questions like instead of running to a podcast after and like well this is my narrative on it well this is how i feel if feel. If we did this and that, it's like, no, this is what we did. We failed. You know, we got to take steps. Boom, boom, boom.

And that's that. Like, he answered the questions like a true professional. Like a champion. I mean, I'm telling you. I get it, but it's one of those things that there's not enough grace, period. See, when you go home to your own

podcast, you have about an hour hour two hours to really calm down and think i mean we're talking about 20 minutes after a game like i he probably done cussed the whole group out so that that's the only problem it doesn't protect the athletes real emotions like there has to be some type of grace period long enough for that emotion to calm down. You make $30 million, I don't care about your emotions. Right. Okay. You make all this money, I don't care about your emotions.

Then don't fight me for my emotions. I am. That's our rule. But we have rules. These are rules. You can't go against the rules. It's entertainment. That's what I'm saying. Then let me be entertaining. But then we get it.

He did it. If I go out there and say shut your bitch ass up and do some shit like this before I come down and fuck you up.

Don't fine me for that. Russ has done it. What else? Don't fine me for my work. Russ has done it. Hey, hey, hey. Don't make me come down.

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. All I'm saying is if like, okay, Anthony Edwards, if they threw a microphone at him ten minutes after he done through chairs everywhere What you think that man was gonna say up there? Some bullshit. Yes, but that's why they do it

It's in there. Hey, but that's what I'm saying. If you're looking for the entertainment do not find me forgiving it You're right. Don't find me forgiving. I'll give you all entertainment. You can handle don't find me for it, right? So you think they can have a fucking pop it if you wanted to be for real? So you think they should have asked Giannis those questions the next day since okay the season's over exit interview You got to do interviews with them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you go ask some questions right now But uh, at least let give it give them give them some people some time. I don't know 20, but doesn't that lose the edge? Yeah, I'm saying. It loses the edge of what we're trying to capture.

We want to capture Giannis' most upset, frustrating moment, and it's right now. Look at his face. No, no, no. I get what you're trying to capture. Don't fine me for capturing it, though. That's my only thing. It's a double-edged sword. Well, the way he handled it, he ain't going to get fined.

No, no, no. I know, so handle it that way like Eric You can see you want to smoke Come on. He got some hillside in him. He was ready. You can see how frustrated he got. He had to grab it. He had to talk to himself. Not today, Giannis. But is that at the question or is that at the reality that their season is over and this is another year he's missed out?

All of it. For sure. All of it. It's like losing it. If you lose to someone who can't play 2k they just play for the first time and you like I'm about to Mop you and they win the more No, the Street Fighter Mortal Kombat when a little motherfucker push the same button hold the whole time You just want to just move but think about you don't want to talk after that you get beat

You just want to play again, but that's But you don't get to play again no more. So you're frustrated. You're like, fuck. And then he's about to go brag about it and talk shit. You are faced with just dealing with the fucking facts. You fucking got your ass beat, boy. So the question for y'all, are people who agree with Giannis, are they delusional? Because like you said, the MJ commercial, there's failure in life.

I think we can't look at failure as necessarily a bad thing. Failure is a part of the growth, part of success. But you can't also look at it and be like, well, this wasn't a failure. Like, dude, you was the number one team in the league. You lost in five. And then go six, seven. I get that you missed the better part of three games. You came back for four and five, tricked off numerous double-digit leads in those games.

Listen, in his situation, that is a failure. Like when Jordan won his first championship, he did not fail. Those other years that we're talking about, those was not championship teams. Those were teams that he was actually building, and once he got there, he won.

That's it. There's no in-between. So if you're going to use Jordan, understand it. The teams he was on, they were making steps. Once they became a championship team, they won chips. Period. Period. He didn't win a championship and then down grace the next year, then get close and then no. That's not how Jordan did it. He won, kept winning, retired, came back,

kept winning, retired, and then he played- The Wizards. Laquami Brown. It always comes back. Throw that shit in there. It always comes back. What? Retired came back kept winning retired and then he played the Wizards look on the ground Good always comes back throw this shit in there. It always comes What when he came back? Yeah, that wasn't a failure. That was those I Was just like a championship to be honest It's like being a seed and you You so we're talking about MJ. How's the number one team? Man, you're a big Kobe guy. How has somebody like Kobe reacted to the situation?

I imagine much differently than what Giannis did. Probably the same way, remember when Steph said, you're not going to see us next year. Remember when they lost, I think Steph was averaging like 31, 32. Mm-hm. And then they lost, he was like, yeah, no team is not going to see us next year. And then they came back and won it the next year.

I think that's the type of mentality Cope has. It's a wasted season, though. It's a wasted season. As you guys know, your NBA careers are finite. This is not going to go on forever. This is a golden opportunity. And if you want to get to that Jordan level, six rings, right, you got one. One is not six.

So to compare that, I'm just saying, and now you're blowing opportunities to do that, but how much even looking at that 2021 finals, just with the situation going on, coming back from after the pandemic, I think they started that season super early. Guys were getting injured. Now do we have to look at that championship a little differently?

Listen, I already looked at the... I've already gave you flack for that championship. The what? The 2021? Yeah. Okay. What?

Jersey was whooping y'all ass the first two games, beat y'all by like 20-something. Katie, no, not James Harden's hurt. Kyrie goes down. Y'all got through that series. But the Bucs was getting manhandled those first two games. It wasn't even on the same planet. It wasn't even the same planet. They ended up winning because everyone got hurt for the Nets. Then you couldn't stop Trae Young.

The ref fucked him up when he hurt his ankle. Couldn't play no more. And then you play, who was the next round? Was it Phoenix in the finals? I mean, you got Phoenix in the finals, right? No, who was before? Who was after that? Boston?

Let me pull it up. It was someone after that, but then you go to... No, I thought they beat KD in them, right? Huh? Didn't they beat KD in them to go to the finals? No, that was Boston. 2021 Eastern Conference Finals was Boston. No, that was first round.

KD was first round. And then you had... Suns, and then referee had to come in. Oh, don't do that. Don't do that. No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Scotty?

I'm just going to say it. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Scotty? No, Scott wasn't supposed to be in game six. It wasn't supposed to be in game six. So 2021 was.

Someone begged. Someone begged, someone begged, someone begged Adam Silver to put Scott in game six of that game. Begged he was not originally supposed to be on game six. So 2021 was Heat first round, Nets second round, Hawks Eastern Conference Finals, that's when Trey made that run. The Phoenix Suns, I think were up 2-0. Yeah.

Smack, smack. And then- And they blew it. No, and then what's the name came in? They blew it. Scott Foster came in game three. They blew it. They blew it. I was sitting there game six, blew it, defeated. They were defeated.

No. They were defeated. He was not supposed to be a ref. They were defeated. They were defeated. 50-piece. No, he did get... No, he did play fucking amazing.

But, I mean, but at the end of the day, the team wasn't... After that championship, I would have... If I'm the owner, the end of the day, the team wasn't, after that championship, I would have, if I'm the owner, if I'm the general manager and all that, any one of them, I'm looking at that season

and saying, okay, look, we got lucky. Like, we really got lucky, but we're going to accept this shit, but we do need to get better because if everyone's healthy, fuck no,

we're not going through that. So we need to get better and upgrade so's healthy fuck no we're not we're not going through that so we need to get better and upgrade so we can come back and they didn't they didn't they looked at that team it was just like when when um calves won a championship and instead of upgrading they're like no we're gonna pay everybody we're gonna keep the same team what the fuck you mean keep that safety you were down 3-1 right yeah You were down 3-1 and came back and won. That's not a championship. You got lucky. Golden State got KD.

What the fuck are y'all doing? But that is what it is. That's another disappointing moment. This summer is going to be interesting for Milwaukee. I'm letting Milton go. He's free, right? I think he has a player option this year. We're going to pay you.

We're going to pay you big money. I doubt. Yeah, we're going to pay you big money. Yeah. I mean, the pressure's on Milwaukee. I mean, you know, you've got to keep Giannis happy. And if you don't, you know, next year, by next year to next year after that, you know. At the end of the day, let's just keep it a bug.

He did everything he was supposed to do. He's done everything he's supposed to do. You got a championship to a city. You good, man. Like, you good.

All right? Like, you good. All right? There's really nothing else we need to talk about with your career. I don't give a fuck what you do.

Like, Bucks, Milwaukee, they love you. They're going to love you forever. You're going to go down and have a statue that's going to speak Greece or whatever language you speak. It's going to have a button and just this random shit you say. You good, all right? You good.

You get promoted every year? Yeah. So you're telling him he needs you to just relax a little bit. He good. I mean, there's no pressure. He good. So looking at this series, everything we know about it, obviously, again, Giannis missing the better part of three games. Was this the biggest clap payoff? Oh, it's good shit. I'm fucking up. Come on. Was this the biggest playoff collapse in NBA history? I got to do my job Jimmy Butler. No, no You won't give it to him. We believe

We believe what are you talking about? The Dallas? The Dallas. Fucking won 67 games. Sixty-seven games with the MVP on that team. Wow, he was healthy. Healthy dirt. Healthy team. Ass whooping. We believe. Yup.

That's the biggest. Did the Spurs lose to the A.C.? Yeah, back in the... The Spurs, right? Didn't they lose to Memphis? Let me pull it up. What year was that? That was Z-Bo then, right?

Yeah, I think so. 2010? Yeah, that was the Z-Bo team. 2011. Grizzlies beat the number one seed Spurs. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but Tim Duncan was the only MVP that year, though. Yeah, but they were good, though.

I know. But Dallas 67 with the MVP on it? Yeah, yeah. Yeah BD was none top of that. No, that's what you say Five games, but again, yeah five, but I don't got Giannis for three stack Jack lock them off But still and brain, I know we talked about this before the show not also another team either We believe in that no all-star body. Yeah BDD wouldn't know they had the people's all-star Baron Davis Yeah, 100% Okay, the people's chant, but we talked about this Just the fashion though like Monday. I'm gonna go to Lakers game. Watch the game on TV there up 13 I walk over to Staples by the time I walk from the Marriott live to Staples. These motherfuckers are losing

I'm like what yeah, same thing Wednesday, you know watching the Kings Warriors, they got the little score bug going on. You just kind of see. Then you're flipping back and forth. Is there anything to that? Because Giannis did play. And if, you know, you're going to play, you can't use the back as an excuse. Look, man. The Miami Heat is Giannis' nemesis.

100%. Right? Anytime he has to play them in the playoffs, he should be worried. Like, just as a group. Because the team, Miami, is not building their defense for the team. That defense, them schemes are built for Giannis and Giannis only. And right now, what is he shooting, 16%? But he has swept that team.

While still shooting 16% from the field. 100%. From jumpers and threes to 16%. Let's talk about free throws, too. I mean, it's safe to say Giannis was atrocious from the free throw line in this elimination game. 10 for 23. And even that play in regulation toward the end of the game at the jump ball, he got the ball in his hands.

I think we've got the video of it. Let's just – he didn't want to – understandable. He didn't want to get fouled going online. Damn, look how strong he is. God damn. But watching this in real time. Let's do it. See, even right there, something like that, right?

This is, I mean, the play before this should have been heat ball. It should have been heat ball. Lowry Middleton. Yeah, and they end up doing the jump ball because they didn't want to give it to the heat. Right? So you get another chance. And look what they did with the second chance. Right?

Dan threw that ball away. Like, so it's... What's the mentality there, though? Yeah, was he afraid of that free throw? Or did he just make a mistake? It looked like he was fucking terrified, boy. No, he was trying to give it to the best free throw shooter. The best free throw shooter.

Smart. I mean, it's smart. Yeah. No, he was trying to give it to the best free throw shooter. Hell yeah. Can he get a free throw? Fuck no. I don't want him shooting a free throw.

If Chris Middleton, right? I'm passing him a free throw. Then why he in the game? To get the jump ball. Who the fuck knows? Best player. Yeah, Brooke Lopez do the jump ball. Yeah, so why is Giannis in the game?

Coach. We'll talk about that very, very soon. That's like Shaq, right? Like if Shaq get the ball and Kobe's right there, Derek Fish right there, bitch, you better pass that ball. Don't be sitting here getting fouled, trying to go to the free throw line. But let's think about it

Thomas score we're on the bench it's like alright but who you putting in the game we not putting nobody in the game that can't shoot free throw that's the coach for that's what the fuck are we doing he's the worst free throw shooter in the league why is he on the floor because if y'all don't get that jump ball because if y'all don't get that jump ball and then they coming down your defensive player is not there either yeah but thatall don't get that jump ball and then they coming down, your defensive player is not there either. Yeah.

But you don't put all that pressure on him just to get the ball. We got a whole team. Box out, tip it to me, I got it, foul me. Who? Yannis? I'm talking about Brook Lopez. Yannis not being in the game. It's like you put Portis in, you put somebody in because you free goals.

If you don't get the jump ball- Then what? If Bam actually out jumps him, which they probably thought Bam was going to do, You put Portis in. You put somebody in because you freak those. If you don't get the jump ball. Then what? If Bam actually out jumps him, which they probably thought Bam was going to do. You out jump him. Now I don't have my best defensive player there. The ball is not going to go to Giannis. Right.

Let's say it does tip. They tip it back. We got to play at this point. Right. Without our defensive player. Now you're stupid. It's just up in the air now. Now you're a stupid coach for that one. But we don't know who he. We don't know if he scores. It's four seconds

left. It don't matter. Gotta take that chance. No, you don't take that chance. It was more than four seconds. It was what? Five seconds left. Oh yeah, Jimmy's coming down. That's just like having, that's just saying the Lakers are there and you got Shaquille O'Neal and you take him out of the game because you don't want him to shoot free throws and the other team gets the ball.

Now you don't have Shaq down there and they score. You look stupid as a other team gets the ball, now you don't have Shaq down there and they score. You look stupid as a coach. What do you mean if you don't have Shaq down there to score? If you take Shaq out for the jump ball, right? If he's playing in Miami? No, just period. Anywhere, all right? You just take him out, right?

Because you don't want him to get fouled because he can't shoot free throws. Right. And then the other team gets the ball, they come down and score a layup. You're fired. What's the difference between him actually doing that and then him getting the ball, getting fouled, and missing the free throws? First of all, I don't want Shaq getting the ball. Pass that bitch like Giannis did.

What Giannis did was perfect. Shaq would have did the same thing, Giannis. Yeah. But think about it. Middleton don't save that. It's their ball. No, for sure. I mean, the pass was off.

He just got scared. Ah! That's the point for me. You can't be scary on the pass. You can't be scary on that. If you throw that away, you should have been on the bench. He just overthrew it. Little muscles.

Just little muscles. Let's talk about Jimmy Buckus a little bit. 98 points in those last two games. First player to do that in 30 years. I want to say fifth all time. For the series, let me just read off these numbers to you 38 points per game, 6 rebounds, 5 assists

After the game Giannis said he would have wanted to guard Jimmy a little bit more, we talked about that yesterday I think y'all said bad idea But Giannis said he would have He said he wanted to guard Jimmy more Left that up to the coaches. They were the ones who made adjustments or lack thereof.

Didn't happen. Seems like the Bucs didn't have many adjustments for Jimmy. Coming off that 56-point game, I really don't believe you can let that man score 42 again. Get the game-time bucket. No Brook Lopez in the game. How would you have guarded Jimmy Butler in this series? I'd have put the crazy white boy on him. Grayson Allen. I'd have put Grayson. He's bigger. have guarded Jimmy Butler in this series?

I ought to put the crazy white boy on him. Grayson Allen. I ought to put Grayson. He's bigger. Okay, you're two defensive players, right? Drew Holiday, too small. Giannis, too big. You're not in position. You are

not the player that's supposed to guard this guard. It's just a pointless thing to even think about. So you got one guy who's too small and what he's doing is he's just bodying him, hitting the mid-range, shooting the mid-range. Giannis is nowhere to be found because he's out of position on that. This is

just like a great defensive player trying to guard a big man. Your defense is meaningless in this realm. So, they needed Grayson Allen, old P.J. Tucker. That's the player that's missing to guard Jimmy.

A big body who can challenge his mid-range if he does try to pull up. The guys who challenge his mid-range, they can't even affect that shot. I'm not going to shit on Grayson But he ain't he ain't it I mean just it's better than true

But there are two defensive assassins on that team that Brandon alerted me to that wasn't wasn't utilized at all who Wesley Matthews And Jay Crowder two guys who could have been sent. How you doing? Should I bring my wine out for that? Should I bring my wine out? He seems to be perplexed about two defensive players needing to be on the floor to play defense. Against Jimmy Butler. Yeah.

Okay. Freedom, how you feel about that, baby? Freedom agrees. He says, yeah, man, these two dudes play defense. Grayson Allen don't have the experience that Wesley Matthews or Jay Crowder has to

give Jimmy what he needs. I need different looks. I need a hand in my face like Shane Battier, like Tony Allen. Like what we talking about? They can't play. You going to put Grayson Allen in front of them two to stop? Just keep going. Let me hear it.

Let me hear something back, Gil. You can't just run. Don't run it hard on your stats and shit. Give me what you got. Jay Crowder didn't get a lot of time in this series. What was the point of trading five second rounders for? I have no idea. I'm waiting, Gil.

To let him get cardio? I have no idea. Not to say he could have shifted the balance of the series, but. I mean, I do like the Grayson Allen. I do like the Jay Crowder. I do like the Wesley Matthews. I just feel like Jimmy Butler should have been having different looks on him from time to time. Who y'all going to put on again?

No, no, no. Don't go there, man. We waiting on you from time to time. Who are y'all going to put on again? No, no, no. Don't go there, man. We waiting on you. You trying to build up a rebuttal. No, I'm just saying. Waiting on you to say something. Wes Matthews. Wes Matthews and Grayson Allen.

How many minutes of Wes Matthews? I'm rolling with Austin. Here we go. Pull it up. Here we go. You going to put that old ass man. Here we go. You going to put that old ass man.

Against the old ass man in we go you're gonna put that old ass man here we get the old ass man old ass man who ain't been relevant for the last six seven years you talking about racing allen is not relevant bro not giving shit what his defense looked like in the early 2000s i was in the nba when matthews was playing good you telling me 10 years later you want to put him in the game? An extra body. An extra body. Yes, throw them all on this man. Give him different looks.

Why'd you even tell him that you knew him? He got 56. He got what, 56? What you mean? He's the same age. No, so what? So what? Wesley Matthews did play 24 minutes in Game 5.

Come on, man. And where was he at? Nowhere you don't remember. Well, we're gonna look at the analytics of when Wesley was guarding somebody He's 36 bro It was a minus 19 in the game. Of course he was. The worst. The worst of the book. The worst of the book.

Look, I'm not saying start Wesley Matthews. 36. Throw niggas at him. Throw anybody. They got six fouls. They got six fouls, Gil. We need all we need to stop this guy. Let me throw a 36-year-old at you right now. So, all right, look.

Take Wesley out. What about Jay Crowder? He got excited as shit. Oh, shit. So, look. Gil, if that's your only metric, let's just say Jay Crowder. Fuck Wesley Matthews. Are you going to say the same old shit about Jay?

Yes. Why? Jay Crowder was just in the finals two years ago. Cool. That's amazing. Come on, bro. That's amazing. Look, Vince Carter was a little on those two years ago. Oh, that's amazing. Oh, bro. That's amazing Come on, bro. The dunk con why you can't say at this point in life. All right Year 20. He's not Vince Carter anymore Matthews and Jay Crowder ain't the defensive players that used to be I am NOT I am NOT

Sticking these old-ass men on Jimmy Motherfucking playoff buckets. So you're not even going to throw them in there? I am not. What they did. Throwing old-ass meat at a new lion. Throwing this old-ass meat at a lion. Jimmy Butler is not a new lion, bro. Maybe you don't want to eat that meat.

It's not an old lion. It must be meat. What are you talking about? Give them stats. Give them stats. Let's just see what this is. Wesley Matthews played 24 minutes. No, I don't give a fuck about Wesley.

Let me show you what Jimmy Butler's doing. You tell me you're going to throw Grandpa out there. Go. First game. Pulling it up. Pulling it up. Pulling it up. Just tell me who else was hard.

So, Jimmy Butler, first game, 35. Okay. 11-5. 25. Uh-huh. Next game, 25. 25, uh-huh. Next game, 30.

30. Then the 56 piece. When you going to put them old-ass niggas on him? What wouldn't you what game they would have beat him up? You know like anybody else that the more bodies they send at you, the hotter you're going to get, the more you're going to cook. But at least they're trying to make you work for it. That's 12 fouls. We're trying to make you work for it. It don't matter how successful you are.

We're just saying effort. We're like, yo, we know he hot. He the hibachi. Listen, do whatever we got to do. Foul him 100 times. Cool. All right. You on fire, right? He the hibachi listen do whatever we gotta do foul him a hundred times cool All right, you you you you you you you on fire, right? And then Hasn't get served in the game Garmin cancer. What you gonna do? I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing. What you gonna do? You look at me do what here's another one. Sure. Here's another one. Sure. Here's another one. Man, I got grandpa. Man, you sit your old ass down.

Here's another one. Come on. Bring it over here. It's old. Who else you got? Listen. You putting two players who just ain't got it no more on defensive. Two more players.

I don't give a shit how many. Just because. Listen. That's the problem. You just saying, all right, I got two more extra bodies to throw at you. Because we got nothing else. They're just bodies at that point. Giving up.

They're going to give up more points than they're going to. What was he minus what? We don't know that. What was he? We don't know that though. See, we don't know that. It's two different defenders. We don't know that.

Minus 19. Minus 19. Two different defenders. Two different defenders. Two totally different defenders. Say it again. Minus 19 in the game. He played 24 minutes minus 19.

In one game. Yes. Yeah. They lost that game, right? He's not supposed to be a factor. This was the last game. Yeah. They lost one game. Yes You might sub in Wesley Matthews in to be a factor bro you your extra body they found him three times You don't have any expectation though, that's the worst minus on that on that goddamn thing. Yeah, it's have an expectation, though. I guarantee that's the worst minus on that goddamn thing. Yeah. It's not an expectation, man.

No, you're right. He put him in. Jay Crowder and Wesley Matthews both could have played 24 minutes apiece. Like 12 each. No, no, they did. That's what y'all forget. They did. They put his own ass in, and he got barbecued.

One game. One game. That's not enough. They put him in. It's 4-1. That's what they put him in. Look, it was a 4-1 a game we're these bro for one series They subbed the man for one game They said to me he got his ass

Barbecue I blame that on the coach man. So he was sure hey Hey, hey, I'm gonna do what they did to us when I was in Washington you asked for the heat Your ass got burned He got his ass cooked. They cooked that buck. But let's talk about coaching now. Mike Budenhoser. Who's the coach?

Mike Budenhoser, am I saying that right? Budenhoser? I don't know, I just thought it was just Giannis' team. I didn't even know they had a coach over there. Oh, but yeah, we're going to get into it. All right, they got a coach. And I like Coach Bud, like good dude. Like every time I pull up to Milwaukee, always love.

But that's tough. Bud. None of us are performing in life. If y'all not bringing it on the show, even your show, we can change this to Joe Sizer and if you're not bringing it, but Gil, I know you're going to bring it. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. But he made a few questionable decisions in the game.

Nothing more glaring than not using the Bucs' final timeout in regulation. So we have that video, I believe. Let's see what we got. So first let's give love to Jimmy Butler. Where the fuck is Brook Lopez? The push off, offensive foul. You're not going to call that if you're a referee. You're not going to call that a referee.

Is that Pat Connington I think? And Drew Holiday trying to stop Jamie Butler. I mean, listen. He said, Wes Matthews is out there too. You're not going to make that call as ref. You're going to just see it play out. Yeah, for sure. I mean, maybe if he missed.

No, I'm just saying you're just not going to make that call. It's just one of those things like, all right. You could have easily just shut that whole shit down. But.5 seconds left to go in the game. They have a timeout. Yeah, they had a timeout. Did not use it. Go to OT.

Listen, there's probably still. It's a little play sometimes that happens that you don't expect to happen. And you just get. It's just brain farts. But isn't that your job as a coach to expect all of that? sometimes that happens that you don't expect to happen and you just get it's just brain fart but isn't that your job as a coach to expect all of that not I don't care about the Jimmy bucket that's a wild ass bucket but if they score here what are we gonna do and they tie the game with point five so yeah no no yeah but point five is to like you it reminds me of the I said it reminds me of the, I said, it reminds me of that Cleveland when J.R. Smith got that offensive rebound, right?

In the timeout, I'm pretty sure no one ever thought, hey, if we get the offensive rebound, either put it up or call a timeout, right? You're not expecting Hill to miss that shot, right? So when J.R. Smith went in there and actually got the rebound, no one thought timeout. Why not? Because it didn't cross their mind. It did. Okay, and that cost you guys a chance to win. You tied.

I know, but that's what I'm saying. Sometimes motherfuckers have brain farts. So we just caught a timeout. We're coming out and nobody's seeing, all these fucking coaches, all these everybody, so nobody's looking at nothing. Bro, there's no excuse for that. So my thing, it ain't J.R. It's all y'all. It's all y'all.

That's a team fuck up. That's a team fuck up. But let's talk about this game. That's a team fuck up. But here's my thing. If they came and hit a three and went up one, you would have called a timeout, right? Immediately. Team fuck up. So how's that any fucking different than scoring? Like this is not, like J.R., that's not

predictable. What's predictable in this situation is they might get a bucket here. Yes. What do we do after that? Two seconds left. Throwing it to the rim, which are two big men. Unpredictable. Shooting a three times off the clock.

Yeah, if I'm shooting, come on, let's, we smarter than that. Yeah, yeah. If they shoot a three, there's no more time for a timeout, period. Yeah, because you got to catch and shoot. You got to catch and shoot. If Miami shoots a three. If Miami shoots a three, there's no more time. Okay timeout, period. Yeah, because you've got to catch and shoot. You've got to catch and shoot. If Miami shoots a three. If Miami shoots a three, there's no more time. For sure.

Right? So the concept of I have my two big men out there. There's going to get a layup. That's not going to possibly happen. That's what I said. It happened. Just shook everyone. He didn't have his two big men out there, though.

No. Huh? He didn't have Brook Lopez out there. No, no. He had. So who was back there? Giannis was on the ball. I think he had Drew Holiday and Connaughton underneath for that

Yeah, so that you're not thinking layup you're thinking Jumper at best we're down one. We'll need a three but it's it's this game Well, the thing is once they got scored. It's the panic whoever touched the ball out about instead of calling timeout No, but what we talking about is before it even goes out there. before Miami throw the ball in, the Bucs are saying, whatever happens here, timeout. Two-point game, 2.1 second. You know the ball's going to go to Jimmy, right? Timeout.

You have to have a reason to win. No, no. No, what I'm saying is after this, okay, right here, right? They score, you're supposed to call timeout. That's what I'm saying. I think they was all so fucking just, they're just,

they're stuck. Because once this guy touched the ball, he's done. But who's stuck? He's done. But who's stuck? What I'm saying,

it's their ball. Yeah. But the point is, you called timeout, I think it was.5 on the clock, you might have got a couple more points of a second back. Yes.

No, no. I was about to say, challenge that, that looked like it could have been.9. Yeah. that. That looked like it could have been point nine. Yeah. That looked like it could have been point nine. I think once you – what is the rule? Once you touch the ball, is it dead ball?

What do you mean, after it comes out of the net? Yeah. It's a dead ball. That means they can't advance. Under – No. No, no, no. If you go to take out, you call a timeout.

I think you can still advance. You can still advance? Yes. I know there's rules where, like, certain little things – No, if you take it out of passing, you call a timeout, you've got to get it. Yeah, yeah, no, you're gonna take out you call timeout. Yeah Yeah, I know there's rules where like certain little things know if you know if you take it out of passing you call timeout You gotta go. Yeah But that's that's not even probably the most glaring one. Let's talk about now in But oh gee, that's oh gee Not using the timeout final possession gracing out looking days are confused

right about here. Where was that? He don't know the clock. Where was that? He don't know the clock. He don't know the timeout. No, nowhere in there. He don't know the clock. Where was that?

He don't know the clock. No. If anything, you call it. Okay. But leading up to this play. Right here. Leading up to this play, they didn't call a timeout. No.

They got it and they just went. Like nine seconds left. They brought it up to court. Okay. Here. For kids that's watching. Like nine seconds left. They brought it up to court. Okay. Here. For kids that's watching, here, go back. But you don't see

the start of that. I don't give a fuck about the start. You do, Gil. I'll tell you when to pause because right now, I'm not calling time out because it's,

everyone's, stop right here. That's your shot. All the kids out there, that's your shot. Yeah, but he don't know time. But prior to this, though. But that's the shot. Yeah, yeah. That's the shot. It don't know time but prior to this but that's the shot Yeah, that's the matter. But prior to this I think I only got three by Havre it broke down They had an opportunity to call timeout design something actually put themselves in a better position

But what I'm saying is because everyone's scrambling I like as an offensive player I want this defense because everyone's scrambling now I think if that's Steph Curry right there, if that's Booker right there, that is a game over. Mid-range jump shot. That's the problem with the new NBA. But three in layup. No, Gil, because there's no Gilbert Arenas out there.

That's not Steph Booker or Gil. That's not you. It's Grayson Allen. Yes, Grayson Allen. He can't shoot a mid-range? He can't do it the way you would do it. What I'm saying is he can shoot a jumper, but if your brain is still stuck on threes and layups look where the jump shot is at

Kawhi Leonard any jump shooter you would have shot this mid-range you would have shot this mid-range so I would have shot a floater But yeah, but that's what I'm saying into the this is where the kids are being taught three or layup So that in between look at all that open space he's actually going to the defender but remember what you said this is scrambling time so now we're in a scramble nine seconds left there ain't no play and we got no star to get a ball to you know in this situation with nine seconds left we're giving it to you we're saying it's scrambling time gill gonna take us home but no even if normal basketball if you you understood the game, put it back up. If you understand and this is why these kids

need to be taught. Put it back up. Run the tape again. We'll do it live. Right. Nope, not that one. Uh-oh. Can we do this in real time, okay? We are a small production but a vigorous. There's three motherfuckers back there.

We need seven. All right. So, look. He's trying to pass it. Got blocked off right there. Yeah. That extra dribble. Let's go back.

Look it. You pass the defender right there. Boom. Right there. Right there. That's what I'm saying. You're still trying to get to the basket when the shot Already presented itself. Yeah, I'm a scorer time. Yeah, but why didn't he take the why he's not being taught because because not programming

scramble Do I need to go back there for the goddamn controllers? Yeah, we are We're teaching. This is who teaching right now. We're scrambling. We're scrambling. We're scrambling. We're scrambling.

This is educational. That's why we call it timeout. That's why I'm not calling it timeout. This is the fucking best shot I'm going to get right there. This is the best shot. Listen, it's who has the ball. This is the best shot, period. This is the best shot. That's why the shot was the shot. This is the best shot. Listen, it's who has the ball. This is the best shot, period. This is the best shot.

That's why the shot was the shot. This is the best shot. This is right here. Look, where's the defense? There's no defender. Why didn't he take the shot? Because he's being taught three or layups. So the shot presented itself.

He's going to the layup. It don't get there in time. He don't even get a fucking shot up. But look, if we set a play. Very educational. If we set a play. Very educational. If I set up a play, you don't get this open. No, no, no.

If we set up a play and that situation opens up where he can take that in-between shot and they're saying, look, you'll have a shot here. You're not. It'll be a shot there. My defense is set. But the fact that it's scrambling, Grayson don't got the know-how to stop and pop right there. No player does. Besides certain players. Because they're not being taught.

They're not being taught. So if you know, you know. If you're not being taught, that's why I'm teaching. That's where you stop and shoot. So let me ask you this. If you call the timeout, we draw up a play, there is no scramble. My defense is set. There's no scramble. Doesn't matter.

We got to play. We got nine seconds. We got to play the run. And it's a tie game, right? Was it a tie game? Or was it down one? Down one? Down two? Down two. We got to set up a play. Sure. Yeah. Defense has said or not, it don't matter because we want to get a good shot. Not a scramble.

One, two. Nah. Fuck that. Give us a real shot. If he pulled up for that jumper, that was the best shot he was going to get in that timeframe. That is the best shot. Timeout or no timeout. If you get a timeout, you're not getting that shot. That's who you trust taking that shot?

Huh? You trust Grayson Allen taking that shot with your season on the line? I mean, you have to. Can he shoot? Yeah. Not like that? Yes. You can't shoot a mid-range jumper?

Did you see what play he made? No, I see what play he made if he stops and shoot a jump shot. Is he capable of making that? No. Yes. Did you see what play he made? I'm not asking you that. I know what play he made. I'm saying my play pump fake like you did you went you took one two dribbles. Can he actually make that shot? Yes. Yes. He's a jump shooter. Yes, he can. Let's talk about Coach Bud a little bit. That's why they're trainers. That's why. That's the problem with basketball because the shots that are open, you're not taking them, and you're trying to do what these analytics will tell you.

If Booker had that same shot, game over. If Chris Paul had that, game over. Right? These are games over. Yes. Luka, any of these guys, game over. Game over. Right? These are games over. Yes. Luka, any of these guys, game over. Game over.

The rest of y'all are missing what makes, what should make you great. Right. The easy shot. The easy shot was that right there.

Not going in trying to make a layup. Just the difference between Devin Booker and Grayson Allen. The big difference between the two. The difference between

a game winner and get your ass off the court. Fuck off the court. Let's talk about Coach Bud here. Fucking Dookie, get your stupid ass off the court. Get your dumb ass off the court. The fuck you learn that kind of battle? Get your stupid ass off the court.

Coach K, that's your man. It all comes back to Coach K. It all comes back to Coach K. That's your man. Let all comes back to Coach K. It all comes back to Coach K. That's your man. Well, let's talk about Coach B. Coach Bud, 2023 collapse, joins a long list of playoff disappointment. I think we got this tweet up, but we can just kind of quickly rehash it. 2015, Bud lost four straight to Cleveland in the sweep.

2016, they got swept again by Cleveland. 2019, four straight to Toronto. Damn. They went on to win a championship. 2020, three straight to Toronto. Damn. They went on to win a championship. 2020, three straight to Miami in five. Now 2023, three straight to Miami in five. Damn. Coach Butt, brought a championship.

First championship in 50 years. But Brandon, I'm going to ask you first. Do the Bucks need to move on from Mike Boothoser this summer? And this is nothing personal to him. He's a great dude. He's meant a lot to that organization. Yeah. I mean, he came here. He did what he's a great dude he's made a lot of that organization yeah um i mean like you

like like i mean he came here he did he did what he's supposed to do he got the marine right um it's kind of like he's in that situation of like doc rivers when they won the championship with boston celtics right like boston didn't win it for a long time came and won it and then your truth color start coming out about you. So it was just more like, you know, I don't think, like I don't really know the Bucks' offensive system. Like it's kind of nasty, like the offense is nasty. And it's kind of like,

I think he kind of stuck in his old ways. Like a lot of these older coaches are stuck in their old ways and it's like the game has changed and it's different. So it's like, you know, they didn't get better. They let PJ go. I also feel like that you know, they didn't get better. They let P.J. go. I also feel like that last play when Jimmy Bullard got that layup, they would have had Brooke Lopez guarding the inbounder and having Giannis guard Jimmy. That doesn't happen at all.

Now that's when you put Giannis on Jimmy. You know, so it's just certain things. I know you lose focus or you have a brain fart, but it's like NBA champion coach like that, you got to make adjustments. And I don't think he's made any adjustments the last two years. I'm always big on, and it's the opposite of what coaches do, right? Coaches, their staff, their staff is not as leading.

If I'm going gonna be a coach my staff Has to be better than me Right my staff has to be better than me not lower than me because if they're if they're worse than me then Then I am the one making all the decisions if they're better than me then They're gonna see things that I can't see. Right? Like Phil Jackson in Tex, right?

Like, he's making Phil Jackson better. I want my staff to make me better. So they're going to see things that I can't see. They're going to make me sharper. Most of these guys are scared to lose their jobs because of the guys that they have around them. I want my job to be, because if I lose my job, that means the people behind me, I hired the fucking best. Yes.

I can't be worried about my job because if I'm fucking up, then they're getting fired too. Right, right. Give me the best of the fucking best and we're all here together. They're making me bet. That's just period. And I don't think that happens in the NBA. They're so afraid of their staff. Because they feel like somebody's going to backdoor them.

You know, you're going to backdoor them. Hey, if you backdoor... You should want that strong coach. I want... Yeah. That's a good point. I like... Yeah, that's a good point. I never thought about it. And it's just... Sharpen's supposed to iron sharpen. I mean, iron's supposed to point. I never thought and it's just it's a sharpens most iron sharpened. I mean, you know

I suppose I would have been a fuck bed Fucking drink is kicking in right so now we talked about this though. We talked about the coaches if they were actually the assistant coaches were players and that one coach was actually taking all the information from the former players and giving him like insight like perspective like coach check this out so all he is is really the face like we talked about but be the face listen to these former players and

what they saying and when you go in there to give you know the huddle the spiel like you got different perspectives for the different players that you have. And when the league, like you said, he in his old ways, it's like Dwayne Casey and Nate McMillan. They don't want old Dwayne Casey. Stan Van Gundy. They want the credit, though. They want the credit for all of it.

So they say, like you just said, if you got some people lower than you, it's all on you. Pressure, right? But then the credit's all on you too. I don't know. The credit is the win. Yeah. Everybody get the credit when you win. But the coaches don't think that. The coaches know, like, I put the form together. I put the plays together.

I did the practices. This shit is all on me. Actually, the coaches ain't really doing shit. They're not. But they feel like the coaches ain't really doing shit. They're not. But they feel like they... The coaches ain't really doing shit. It's the film guy. It's them scouts. It's them guys. Them guys that's lower.

That's like behind the bench. Yep. That's telling them. I'm telling you, if I'm a sister coach, you're going to have to just fire me because you'll be trying to make a sub like,

wait, hold on. Hold on. What is you doing? Him? No. I'm talking to someone else this motherfucker Should be called to be sitting there right they be sitting there like hey get in and it is go No, you can't pull that shit with me in the game, man.

You know what I mean? Real shit. He's like, hold on, hold on, hold on. Whoa, whoa. Not him. Not him. Not right now. Not right now.

He ain't ready yet. Two more minutes, man. Get your shit together, man. Get him a Red Bull. Get him a hot pack. He's not ready right now. And them assistant coaches don't be doing that, man. Because there'll be times we'll be going in the game,

and I'm like, why? He about to get his ass busted, for real. And as an assistant coach, your job is to protect the head coach from the shit he's doing, too. There's some plays that shouldn't be called. Like Jimmy Butler, that last play, right? That last play wasn't supposed to be for him. Really? To go to OT. Was it to go to OT? The one where you t supposed to be for him. Really? To go to OT.

Wait, was it to go to OT? The one where they tipped it in with one hand? There was one play that he looked at Sprolight like, uh-uh. No, no. I want that. I want that shot. Mmm. Mmm.

I want that shot. He ain't, uh-uh. For me. Larry Hughes. When I hit that shit in Chicago, the play was for Larry. The play was for Larry Hughes. Larry's balling. He had 32 that game.

Killing. And I'm like, I'm about to make it. He's like, do your thing. Do your goddamn thing. Do your goddamn thing. Do your goddamn thing. Do your goddamn thing. I believe you.

Well, shit. We could talk about this for more than a few shows, but we got a lot more to cover. We appreciate you to the 6,000 people that are in this chat right now. If you go tell your friends, if we get to 10K, if we get to 10K,

you already know what we're going to make Gil do. Tell your friends, tell your cousins, aunties, uncles. You already see how I am on the liquor, man. BJ got it rolled up. Ready to go. Ready to go. Bleasy kill. But let's talk about, we talked about Coach Bud, his coaching tree.

We got two Coach Bud disciples facing off each other, Grizzlies and the Lakers. So I know I was on the show. Ooh, that's a segue for that ass. Chad, I hope you appreciate this shit. We put a lot of time and energy and effort into this show. But last episode, I was a little concerned about the Lakers now going to Memphis. Fresh off that overtime win, LeBron playing 45 minutes, AD playing 42 minutes.

Thought the Grizzlies would win. So I got my Negro diamonds on, was not happy to be right. But Grizzlies came back to Memphis, got that, closing now to 3-2. So we're going to start with you. Are you still confident the Lakers are winning this series? You said Lakers are 4 because you weren't counting.

Yeah, I didn't pay attention to the last game either. So, I didn't watch it, so it don't count. You got to watch, though. No, I didn't listen. It didn't count. So, yeah, we're going to finish the fourth game here at home. Keep not watching. I know.

It's at home. Just keep not watching. The game you watch is going to be game seven, Memphis. You think it's going seven now? No way. See that? No. It's no way.

It's no way. I guarantee you, I guarantee you, Bron didn't do, he didn't do nothing last night. He took a day off. He was stepping one. First game of the season. First game of the season. 40 next game.

40? 40. Is that going to be the 40 he, the Dylan Ags 40? The final exclamation point on the bear poker? He's going ham. 40? 40. Is that going to be the 40 he, the Dylan Ags folk? The final exclamation point on the bear poker? He's going ham. All rim. Buckets.

Dunks. Yes. Oh, yeah. All right. Memphis in seven. Oh. Still. Rashad, come back to the leg.

We can't have this. I don't like a divided couch. Fuck out of here, man. What has Memphis been showing you that makes you think? We can't have this. I don't like a divided couch. What got it here, man? What is Memphis been showing you that they show? Well, last night they showed me that they could play in front of the crowd and they can take that energy and do something with it. But in LA they don't have to. They don't have to get lucky this next game. Like if they can get lucky and pull it out, they can go seven.

I was probably like you said, if Brian show up, put the 40 ball on niggas heads and say, look, man, I'm taking us to the next round. Cool. That's what we're gonna do. But I just got a feeling ad not gonna show up. I don't need a show. Okay. Austin Reeves coming now. Well, yeah, Brian and Austin is gonna be brought on all so that's 80 and So that's the conversation now On in eight and in ar 15 so right now a DNA are as the trio no no no it's not trio He's just it's just a combo combo right? It's combo combo Hmm also reads back here 17, but he's 4 for 13. I know sorry He didn't look like him second-in-the-box combos.

Fries and burger. Let's talk a little bit about AD. We know LeBron, he has those bounce-back performances. You know, foot's still janky, but followed up that 22-20 game with the 15 and 10, you would expect him to get it back right. But the only thing consistent about AD this series is his inconsistency.

Damn. Listen, I be telling people that, they be like, yo, you inconsistent. My inconsistency. Damn. Listen, I be telling people that they be like, yo, you inconsistent. My inconsistency makes me consistent. He's consistently inconsistent. Bounce back, though. Game 5, 31-19. But it wasn't a loss.

Yeah, he always balling when we losing. Was it his fault, though? We're going to follow up with the next question. First question, will we ever see a consistent AD in this series? In this series? The series is over tomorrow. So will we see AD put two games back-to-back? Hopefully.

He got to put this game, and then we got the next game against Warriors. We were talking about that series, too. What do we see in this series, though whose guard in AD, what Tillman and Jackson? What are they doing that's offsetting him to be so inconsistent? Nothing.

You know what I'm saying? I'm looking at it like if he going to dominate them, dominate them. He got to get the ball, but he got to want the ball. He want to play on the outside. He want to be on that wing like a a guard that's why you can't dominate you're a big you need to play on the box like get easy buckets But you too busy on the wing doing all that right like when he goes into the post every game does he have post moves? No, he has no go-to move. Okay. Well then that's why you can get a bucket though He don't have no go-to move, but he can get a bucket, but you don't have no go-to move

That's the problem also that he don't have a move that he... That's his signature move. That's bad being... What year is this? I mean, it's just... He got the fadeaway, but as a big... Fadeaway which side? I'm saying when he's fading away in the post. Which side? Which way? Right block.

Right block. Right block. You don't even know. Yeah. I mean, me neither. I don't know either. No, it's right block, right shoulder. Right block, right shoulder. But if you're that tall and your ass is that big, more shit going to the basket.

Don't be going away. Even if it's a fadeaway, is it consistent? No. Yeah. What is the... If someone jumps at it, what is the combo move? Is it up and under? No, he's already in there by the time he gets that shit up. AD plays to the level of his competition.

Tillman and Jackson are hard-nosed defensive bigs. So he's going to shy away from that more because they'll foul him more. They're going to bruise him more. Other people that he plays against that's not like that, he go off on because it's not as much contact. He ain't got to worry about them getting fouled and none of that other stuff. He can shoot over them. But these are two bigs

that are giving him the energy. You're going to have to earn it. I feel like AD plays when he want to play. That's another one, too. He just play when he want to play. It ain't playing down to your level. I think he just plays when he want to play. That's another one too. He just played when he wanted to play. It ain't playing down to your level. I think he just plays when he wanted to play.

Remember when he said he didn't touch a ball all summer? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I think it was a joke. How? I think he was kidding, but if it was true. Okay, well a month or two and you didn't do anything. So it's like you just play when you feel like playing.

Maybe he plays not to get hurt. Well how do you just play when you feel like playing. Maybe he plays not to get hurt. Because you can see that, too. The fucked up part is, if he's trying to do that, he's doing a terrible job of it. Because every fucking game. Don't think about it. He landed on his tailbone

yesterday late in the game. It was just like, dog, what the... First of all, just put this nigga in the bubble. Just put bubbles... Just wrap bubble shit around the goddamn... Just put bubble shit around his thighs, his back bones, his ankles. It's cool. He don't need to look cool

no more, alright? Just put bubble wrap around your ankles, pat all up here. Just bubble boy. Fuck it. Just bubble boy him. So I just want to touch on something that they've said on inside the NBA, Kenny and Shaq said,

Andy looks like he needs permission to be great. Like, like somebody, somebody got to give him that. Like somebody got to tell him like, no, you can, you can go out there.

Like you can go outside. No, you can really go be good. Like the permission is great. Like this could be your team. It's okay. LeBron's 38. We won't,

we won't think much about it, but let's talk about that 31 and 19 performance and we're gonna talk a little bit about Darvin Ham who comes from that coach bud coaching tree and the thing about that coach bud coaching tree what you see is a lot of those guys struggle to want to make adjustments they're gonna ride whatever they're riding till they can't anymore so they absolutely have to change it you know for better or for worse. But Lakers were down, I think, one with about four minutes to go in the third quarter. Darvin Ham pulled AD. By the time AD came back in the

game with about nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Where did you say he pulled him when? Third quarter. Late in the third quarter, like four minutes to go in the third quarter, it's 75-74. Grizzlies are winning. Lakers have bounced back from like a 15-point deficit or something like that. Pulls AD. By the time AD comes back in the game, nine minutes to go in the fourth, they're down 24.

So he pulled him at the four-minute mark, then put him back at the nine-minute mark? Yeah. And they were down. Went from down one to down 24 with AD on the back. He pulled him at the four-minute mark. In the third quarter. And then put pulled them at the four-minute mark. In the third quarter. And then put them in at the nine-minute mark.

See, this is why, this is why, this is why, just listen, just owners, owners out there, just anyone who does this, right? When your team is in a penalty, right, it's usually like the last three minutes of the game, right, any coach that takes their best players out in that three-minute mark, just fire them, right? Because what they're doing is this is old-school teaching, which those guys were stupid to. Those coaches were stupid to. And then you put them at the nine-minute mark.

So that means there's seven minutes of basketball he's not playing. Your best player is supposed to be in the last three minutes because usually a stupid coach will sub his subs in at that time where your starters get to take advantage of some players that's cold and it's the penalty. Now they can't be touched. The fact that it can't be touched, it's free basketball. So you keep those guys in all the way into the 12 minute mark when it's the fourth quarter. Sub his bitch ass out then. 12 to 9, then sub it back in.

I just need three minutes, right? I'm not putting my guy – seven minutes? That's a long time. I'm smoking crack. He came back in after a couple minutes. Two, three, it don't matter. But after that point, it went from a down one to down eight. What I'm saying is it don't matter.

I'm not subbing my best players out, especially someone I need to be balling when I'm in is don't matter like I'm not subbing my best players out especially someone I need to be balling at when I'm in a penalty yeah at the end of the quarter sub them out two three minutes get break because two three minutes in they're still getting warm whoever whoever's starting that forward they're still getting getting warm then I can put them back in are you subbing out just because of your substitution pattern are you subbing him out because he's tired? I would rather if AB comes out at the four minute mark, he's exhausted. He's like, man, I need a breather. So you took him out for four minutes in the third, put him back in with a minute

50 to go, but at that point he jumped from one to eight. Then you took him out to start the fourth quarter when it was a 18 point game and then narrowed down 24 I think when he came back. I'm not subbing. What am I subbing for? Three minute timeouts coming'm not subbing. What am I subbing for? Right. Three-minute timeouts coming in here. What the fuck am I subbing for? Yep.

Just, listen, if you use your timeouts right, you don't need to fucking call subs. Period. Like, what the fuck? Listen. Technically, if you use your timeouts right, you don't have to fucking sub nobody. Man, bro. I don't. There's a timeout every fucking three minutes by the NBA.

Yes, TV timeout. Then I have my timeouts. We can go one and a half minutes and timeout, then TV timeout, timeout, then TV timeout. I don't have to fucking sub anybody, to be honest. Talk about it. Real talk. These motherfuckers are stupid. They're so stuck.

They're being taught. What is his name? Bud. Bud taught him this shit. That means someone taught Bud, stupid ass, how to be a coach. And someone taught that dumb motherfucker how to be a coach. No one's ever challenged the methods of any of these motherfuckers. Real shit.

I think he came under pop. Huh? I think he came under pop. He did come under pop, I believe. Did pop teach him that shit? Because you look at the TV. He went rogue. it's primetime TV. ESPN TV, that's a

long ass time out. That's a long time out. Shit, spill a little drink on the court. Hey, look how one of the ball boys do some random shit. Come on, man. There's so many things you can do. I don't need to sub nobody. And they tell you that you got a TV timeout coming,

coach. Relax. Hey, don't sub him in TV timeout It's cool. So the problem is yeah, go back go back They got these little blue sheets. Y'all know the little blue scoring cards. Okay, and they already pre-program what they're gonna do They're not paying attention to it And that's why your assistant coaches need to be as smart too because you as the coach you're not really focused on What's going on in the game. You're watching the game but you're watching from different dimensions.

It just seems like they're never in tune with what the game is doing. You can hit four or five shots and then they'll be like, all right, sub. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a sub. Sub and you're like, what the fuck? It's on schedule. Because it's on schedule. Oh shit, I got to get him to hit his 12 minutes. Hit him sub. Sub. You're like, what the fuck? It's on schedule.

Because it's on schedule. Yep. Oh shit, I gotta get, I gotta get him his 12 minutes. Give him his 12 minutes. I gotta get him his 12 minutes. A sub. Yep. You know, you come in, like there'll be some times where like Juan Dixon or Steve

Blake is balling and Coach a sub like. He got it. He got it. Go. You keep going. I'll go get another mother fuck person. Yeah. Right?

I wanna come in. I wanna come in in but I'm not gonna get the guy who Just hit three four shots. Yeah, because the the coach at the time is not really focused on the game, right? He's looking at his sheet looking at the time looking at his sheet trying to figure. Okay, I got a sub That's what I said there their subs is on this piece of paper and they're not watching the flow of the basketball game And then in the fourth quarter, I think they're down 24 at one point had LeBron ad in that crew And I forget what game it was previous. But it's like, game's pretty much a side. Yeah, you want to make that run.

But I think at some point, just wave the flag. Let these dudes go. Get back to LA and regroup. Because the amount of energy you're going to expend trying to get back in that game if you don't win. Like, you already got LeBron coming off an OT game. Had to travel his ass all the way to Memphis. After Monday, I think they probably left Tuesday. Play Wednesday.

Now, same thing. Got to come back to LA. After Monday, I think they probably left Tuesday. Play Wednesday, now same thing. Got to come back to LA, now potentially have to do that again on Sunday. My thing would have been at the six-minute mark, six, seven-minute mark. If we're not in punching distance, what's up? Rest up. Hey, y'all go in.

Y'all go in. Full court press. Mess up the game. See what happens. I need y'all to get. Y'all go in. Full court press. Mess up the game. See what happens. Yeah, just go on. I need y'all to get ready for the next game, too. I might need one of you sorry motherfuckers anyway. We never know.

They might motherfucking catch back up. For sure. Worst case scenario, you got them tired for the next game. This is fucking chess. Yes, bro. Down 15 with six minutes to go. I think he didn't pull LeBron until... That's going to stay. I'm keeping him in. Down 15 with six minutes to go. I think he didn't pull LeBron until...

If that's going to state, I'm keeping him in. Yeah, if that's going to state. If that's playing, I'm keeping that group in. If that's going to state, I'm keeping him in. Then I'll put a fast unit in,

see what the fast unit do. Yeah, for sure. But just concede. Like, look, there's the amount, like, you're not going to win that game. You know, the NBA

already said we need six. I'm not liking the way these other series is going. Like, I look at the coaches I look at their sub patterns and I just feel like they're just learning from another coach that taught them that and that taught them. This is not experience.

This shit is being taught like. We got to talk about it Gil because this is the most important part of what we would consider today's basketball. Coaching patterns, subbingbing patterns looking at why certain players go to the bench mad after they hit two shots and it's like damn bro like i just got in and you already looking at the schedule and it's like i got my seven minutes in but i just

hit two straight you supposed to keep rolling like you just said like when you're on the bench juan dixon i'm getting hot you're like, don't sub me in. He got it. Let him rock. Get somebody else. Or let me go in for somebody else. Right? But that's being a savvy IQ player knowing like, yo, let's keep rolling with him. Let's keep going with that.

Now, take his ass out. He just missed six straight fucking shots. And he fouled twice in a row and turned it over. Why he still in the game, coach? Right? Why are we still running this same play when they're doubling us? These type of things don't the coaches don't

take accountability for these type of things because no one points it out. Try it. That's real. Let's keep this thing moving. We'll stay in the West. Got to hit these Warriors Kings. We appreciate you to the 6,000 people that have consistently stayed with us on this show stream. 6,000.

We lit. But Underdog said we can get 5K by some point later on in the season. They'd be happy. We don't give a fuck what y'all say. We want to get more. I need to get 10 so we can get Gil to hit this blunt. So tell everybody you know to come watch this shit to pull up. Gil hitting the blunt before the finals.

Yeah. We got to get it before the finals. Sheldon, what's wrong with y'all? He like, man, I ain't smoking no weed. D-Bo in the Pigeon Coupe. In the Pigeon Coupe, dude. So the Warriors have been hot boo-boo on the road this season. 11-30, 0-2 in the playoffs. Came back to Sacramento for game five, had all that momentum after winning both games at home, and came through and did their thug thistle.

Got that much needed. I know we had talked last week, can the Warriors win a game on the road in this series? They got that done. That's nice right there. Man, them boys make tough shots. I'm not going to lie, man. I mean, shit. Even Draymond, I think, them boys make tough shots. Yeah. I ain't gonna lie, man. I mean, shit.

Even Draymond, I think, was like eight for ten. Like, Wiggins, we didn't know how good he was going to be on the offensive side of missing all that time. He's come in and looked extremely solid. And Steph, of course. Like, look at this dude. Just look at the energy he makes you exert. Oh, he just run around like that?

Are you serious? Imagine, how do you feel after a possession like that? Like, how do you feel when you just had to guard this man? He just ran circles around your ass on the court. Oh, it's embarrassing, man. I'm not even going to lie. You feel dumb. Like, you just.

So, question for the group. Are the Kinks cooked? I would have tackled him. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, that's a hard foul. Standing at half court by himself, like, just chase him around. Nah, man, foul this little man, get him on the fence. What is we doing?

Yeah, two free throws. I'll take him. Yeah. Either way, it's two points. But fucking around with Steph, he's probably going to make the shot anyway. So are the Kings cooked? Can they possibly come back from three straight losses as defending champs, or this shit ending back in San Francisco?

Shit. No chance? No chance. Right? I mean, the power of Sacramento was their home crowd. Yes. That was their power. They know they're not going to have no fans over in San Francisco.

And you got, I mean, they got all the momentum, right? You know, as soon as you start missing two, three, doubt starts kicking in, that can easily be a 20-point loss, right? The way Golden State is playing right now, they have all the hype. Now you got to focus on Draymond Green because Draymond Green just had 21, right? So now you just can't leave him. Now as you focus on Draymond Green, that leads Klay and Curry and Poole to just do whatever they want. So, you know, by Green having a great game offensively, it kind of opens it up a little bit more. Now that you know, oh, he's going to take shots now.

I mean, the fucked up thing is Kings jump out to that 2-0 lead, Draymond suspended game three. That game three was literally the series. Because at least they went up 3-0. You've got to imagine the Warriors are going to roll off four straight, and now they'd have two, I think, games back in Sacramento, given how they are on the road. But it's just wild to think about. But let's talk a little bit about De'Aaron Fox.

Fractured index finger on a shooting hand. Came out and looked great in the first half. Finished with 24 points, but he was 9 for 25, 3 for 10 from 3. The whole team missed the shots in the second half in this must-win game. What do y'all think about De'Aaron Fox being able to bounce back and come out with that broken finger, especially considering all the injuries we've seen this postseason and what it's done?

Well, first, I mean, shout- out to Sacramento for having a great year. Coach of the year, Mike Brown. But I think this series came down to experience. I always felt like game four, if they would have got a chance to win game four, Harrison Barnes make that shot, they go back up 3-1 back home. Now it's a different momentum. But that's with them, with experience, being young. You know, as far as the future, the future, they'll get better at that.

They just caught Golden State at this time. But Darren Fox, I mean, he's gonna keep playing, he's gonna keep going. But it's just experience, man. They're young right now. Like they're just young, it's their first time. And they're playing against an experienced championship team that's been here in these situations so many times. So yeah, I think that's just it.

Do we think they'll be back? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure they'll be back. It's a great learning experience. Where do they kick? Back where? In the playoffs. In the playoffs?

Oh, yeah. But can they improve upon this season? No. You said no they can't? Approve? Like get better? Better than second place? Third.

Third? No, like just win a round next year. Like like get better Better than second second place third third No, like just went around next year like you think they like from this experience they'll be able to they grow from this and grow Is this a failure? No, this is not a failure because no one expected this But you know, they're they're sitting, you know, we already said in the West what was going to happen, right? You had two teams that were sitting in second and third playing against two teams that's built for champions. You had two young teams playing against two veteran teams that built one won a championship last year.

The other one now all got healthy with two first ballot Hall of Famers on it. Like, really, no one expected them to win this series but them themselves. Right? So can they get better? I mean, next year, I mean, when everyone's healthy, are you a second and third seed team? So, no, you're not going to be a second and third seed team. So from the optics, it's going to look like you did bad anyway

if you end up at five or six. But not if you win a round. No, what I'm saying is, think about it. If everyone's healthy next year, do Sacramento stay in second? I mean third. They'd be like fifth or sixth playing against the same team. Yep, depending on the moves, like certain moves. Yeah, Harrison Barnes is going to become a free agent. Is this now a spot? But if you're a free agent,

you're looking at SAC and the way this team plays, yes, you've got to live in Sacramento, no disrespect to people who live there. Not my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth choice if I'm in California. They probably got a, they probably like Crackle Barrel, they probably got places like that. Crackle Barrel?

Off the freeway, like yeah, they got the big truck stops. I'm looking at SAC in comparison to Phoenix and the Warriors and the Lakers, right? Let's talk about experience. They don't have the discipline. Like Denver and the Kings don't have the discipline to withstand coming back from going into Golden State, withstanding the runs that Golden State come back. That's what happens with Golden State. You can't never count them out, right? But if you're a disciplined team, veteran team,

and you know that they're going to make runs, you always answer a run with a run. So the Kings don't have the understanding that, all right, they're going to make a run. Like we don't panic when they make their run. We need to make our run. And so when you don't make your run and they keep making their run, that's when Golden State comes back.

Golden State gets in the league. Golden State wins the game. There's only a few teams that know how to counter a run, right? And when you do that, you take away their biggest weapon, running you out the gym, having you panicking because you don't know how to stop Klay's two th don't know how to stop plays two threes in a row. Steph's three threes in a row. Jordan Poole. So I'm looking at it like, all right, the Lakers with A.D. and LeBron and a couple other utility players got enough experience and understanding.

All right. We know how to keep Steph in this place. K.D. Book, Chris Paul, they know what it takes to withstand runs. These other teams, they know. Like you said, Gil, they out of here. You know what I'm saying? Because if they don't win, this next game is definitely going to be. They out of here. They out of here. They out. But to your point, they did a good job. Like they don't have a chance to win because of the discipline and the experience. Wait a minute. No, the series is over.

What are y'all talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, this is over. Yeah. It's not over yet. This is over. This is over. This is over.

Let's get ready for the Lakers and go to sleep. Lakers go to sleep. Beam gone. This is all I'm going to say. It's been a crazy-ass playoffs. We got conjoined twins and one boyfriend, shit going on in the universe. Believe me, in previous years, done. Very well may be.

But to your point, they withstood a lot of those runs and those punches in the mouth earlier in the series. You look back at game four, they were Harrison Barnes brick away from winning that game. But now to get to that level of maturity and get to that next step. But I have been impressed because you know traditionally those Warriors runs, like once they toast you.

Yeah, they used to toast me. Once they used to get it, it was like, oh shit, it's done, turn the channel. No, look, SAC has, they've played way better than expected. They've played more mature than it looks on paper. But coming back next season, that same team, no matter how many games they win, if they're in fifth and sixth spot, from the optics side, it looks like they did worse. What if they add another piece? If they don't come in second or third, they look like they did worse.

But I'm just saying, that team has the capabilities to potentially improve. You got Harrison Barnes. If they don't resign him, bring in somebody else. We're never resigning him. We'll see. It's Sacramento, Gil. If Sacramento wins a playoff series next year, they have improved. I don't care what seed they are.

If you're six, you're playing what? Three? Yeah. I mean, what? They were three this year? I could see them being four. You got to remember, three playing six. Now, if there's six playing three, that means that's a real three.

Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. And that three is going to be what? Lakers, Golden State, Denver. You think the Lakers are going to be top three next year? I'm just saying you could possibly be. Phoenix.

I mean, it's a lot. We'll see. I mean, it's all about who's healthy, though. A healthy Kawhi PG Clippers. The two and a three this year was not a real two and a three. No, for sure. You know what I mean? And that's all I'm saying. Yeah.

Yeah. All right, so now let's move back to the East. We're going to keep this brief. We appreciate y'all rocking out. 6K, been holding strong, dipped a little bit. Some of y'all let us down. It's okay. We're not going to name names.

They had to go to work. For what? It's Thursday. So they can pay for the... You be asking for motherfucking memberships and shit at the beginning. How they going to pay for it if they be asking for motherfucking memberships and shit at the beginning How did you pay for it if they can't leave bosses? Go to work they trying to they trying to get those promotions that you know, so they don't look at their own lives I can't get promoted every year, Giannis.

Shit. God damn. I'm just, you know. But if I get that bonus, that's another thing. The bonus come up short, that's a failure. But talk about these Knicks. Knicks are back. Yeah.

Can you give them a little smoke, Gil? Can the Knicks get a little bit of smoke? I know. Reluctant. I know your relationship with Knicks fans. See if we can get a little toot. They got a little queef. A little queef of smoke.

So the Lakers fans don't got no respect for the New York Knicks in New York City? Y'all don't love New York City? No, no, no. New York Knicks, you know what? They get the full... They don't get no love for the East Coast.

East Coast don't get no love. Because the fans, I thought the fans was going to fuck off the series did and they actually They actually got them right. They actually got them right Back the Cavs of five won their first playoff series since 2013 So I already asked this but I'm asking it Gil you ready to give the Knicks and their fans Some love I'm ready to give them fans some love are you ready to give the Knicks and their fans some love? I'm ready to give them fans some love. Like, y'all see what y'all can do?

Y'all see what y'all can do when y'all think Knicks positive basketball. Like, they was in there chanting fuck Trae Young. That too. And Phil Jackson yesterday. This is that fuck Phil Jackson? Yeah, there was a screaming. I don't know where Phil came from. I don't know if it's a picture came up.

But it was like, yeah. Phil's been in the news lately, Gil, for some more questionable comments, race related. Who would have known? Who would have known? You know. Can you lend a nigga a pencil? Who Knicks playing that series? Miami.

Ooh. Yeah, they got Miami. Hey, yo. Yo, Knicks might go to the Eastern Conference. Who next plan s series? Oh Yeah, they got my hey yo Yo, Nick's might go to the Eastern Conference. Like I said, like I said, like I predicted This is gonna be no this is gonna be a real different series. Yeah, because because one Jimmy's going into the garden, and Jimmy's going to do what Jimmy thinks. But what happens is when New York goes to Miami, that's a road game.

Yeah. I mean, that's a home game for them. Yeah, I'm about to say. We talked about that matchup. We talked about Miami being home. That's what you was looking for. So Jimmy going to be hot at home because that's Knicks all day. All day. So as fucked up as it is home because that's Knicks all day. All day.

So as fucked up as it is, you talk about Knicks fans in the garden, your problems with them historically, but now you go to Miami and now Heath fans are Knicks fans in Miami. Yeah, no, like, no. Old gangsters used to mob. Yeah. Yeah. Not a fuck with you.

That's going to be a Miami, that's going to be a Knicks series. That's going to be a Miami that's going to be a Knicks series. That's a Knicks fan favorite. Look, Knicks might get booed at home. They're not getting booed in Miami. They might get more love in Miami. No, but I mean look the predictions is always

just pouring in because I called this. Did you just put that shit back on? Woo! You took it off. Woo! I'm telling you, when I said the Knicks, shout out to William Wesley, Leon Rose, the front office up there that got Brunson in there, changed Julius Randle's whole little career outcome.

They got the Knicks popping. It's going to be a good series. It's going to be a good series. I ain't have the Knicks beating the Cavs. Like that really surprised me. And also, I'm going to say this on record. Donovan Mitchell is not a number one option. If you want to win, he is not a number one option.

You saying he's not like that? He's not a number one option on a team that's a contender. So he's not a mega star? He's not a number one option. We're talking about a guy who could potentially be first team on NBA. Yeah! But he's not a number one option when it comes to the playoffs.

Listen, I can't even comment because I ain't watched that series. I'm sorry. And I love Donovan Mitchell, but he's not a number one option anymore. So you've seen something in the series that showed you that, like, I'm not giving him number one. I mean, I thought it was Utah, but it wasn't Utah. No.

The Cavs, you over there with some dogs, some young dogs too. I mean, I'm not – I'm just saying, if he's the number one option. Can he build to that? Do you think he can get there? Who else would you want as your number one option? I don't – I mean, we can't get over the hump with this guy. Every time we're in I mean, we can't get over the hump with this guy. Every time we're in the playoffs, we can't get over the hump. I get it.

That's not saying he's not a great player. He's just, like, remember when PG said, I'm not the number one. That's what he should be. So you're going to give it to Garland? I think he more interesting than Donovan. He might need to bring somebody out here. Yeah, bring somebody Spider-man got some fire, but I Really look at the game numbers numbers, but I don't say I'm talking about far as winning and taking your team to the next level

I don't think I don't think he's the number one guy for that. I mean, especially this game five for me So who's the number one guy on New York? Jalen,unson. Okay, then I can see that then. Yes, sir. Because even though Julius Randle was the face. Okay, so all right. We're going to Brunson.

You might be right. That's all. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying he's not a great player. But Julius Randle needed to bring it this series too. I mean, he had points in that last series. He's not getting played, and it was tough to watch. But Brunson.

But it's easier to stop Mitchell, though. Yes. It's easier to stop Mitchell. Yes. Because he's right-handed, but because he's a two-foot jumper, he needs to go left. So if you cut off his going left at any point, you cut half his game off.

So he's not a number one option. He's not a Jimmy Butler. He's not the guy. He's not the guy. You have half his game off. So he's not a number one option. He's not a Jimmy Butler. He's not the guy. He's not the guy. You have to be the guy. I agree. Thank you guys. Well, you know, Nix, we gave you your love. Y'all still are haters, so we'll give you more time on this show when you

give us more love and more respect. Thank you. Alright? I don't appreciate the tweets y'all be sending sometimes. Except for Mero. I rock with you. And Spike Lee, Ben Stiller. Pete Davidson a little bit. You like Pete, you like Skeet. I like when you pushed the fan, you saw the Nick fan get two clicks, he backed the fuck

up. I didn't know he had that in him. Skeet. Skeet. Now it's time for our last segment of the week. Mostly Fans. Whoop, who fans. Whoop. Whoop.

Is there a theme song for Mostly Fans? We need some theme music for all these. You said you wanted some porn music, Ron Jeremy. No, no, we should have them delusional conjoined twins as the face of the Only Fans. Damn. Yeah, they're nice people. Damn. No, I'm just saying. One's booed up.

Okay. They don't have the boo? One's an illusion. He's both ours. Just one. Just one. So our first question comes from Tarion Moon. And Tarion, you submitted this question about 4,000 times. We definitely appreciate you hitting the chat as often and frequent as you do.

But you got to tone down just a little bit, but we appreciate it. Make some burners and watch them from all your burners. Let's get these numbers up. We won't tell nobody. If you had a starting five consisting of

Brandon Jennings, Gil, and Rashad McCants, what other two players would you add to the starting five that would best suit that lineup?

Dirk and Shaq. Who? Dirk and Shaq. KG and Akeem. Wow. What? Come on, man. Come on, man.

Don't leave. You just cut my shit off. You can't have KG and Akeem? I'm going to go Shaq and KD. You just don't like my picks? Fuck no! What's wrong with KG and Hakeem? You're just joining the Hakeem.

What side does KG play on? Gil. What side does KG play on? What side? What side? What you mean? What side of the court? Both sides.

No, we don't. Right side. Right side. What? I play with side of the court? Both sides. No, we don't. Right side. Right side. What? I played with KG, bro. Right side. What are you talking about? Right side is the dominant side.

Same thing with Dream. Do whatever. You got two players doing the same thing on the same side. No, bro. No. No, bro. I have faith that you can mix it up with them and get them to see the level. Bro, that's why I put Dirk.

Dirk lifts. Shaq dominates down there. Same thing he did. T can play at the elbow bro and cool ass or he can shoot threes. He could do all that. No, he can shoot mid-range jumpers and shit like that. Like he's cool. I don't want both them is clogging up the lane. You see how I you see how you say so who did you say Shaq and who dirt you said Shaq you don't want nobody clogging up the lane, bro, too We drive is to when we drive and they come off Shaq But Shaq is to know his Shaggy's one second. The Shaq is one Shaq is two people Back is two people in the lane

Niggas down there when we roll with Shaq there. Screen and roll with Shaq. Who helps? Screen and roll with Shaq? What do you mean? You screen and roll with Shaq. Can't leave me. Can't leave him. Can't leave Dirk or KD. Yeah.

Yes, sir. Yeah. We give something up. Who are you going to give up? Whoever. Me. Shit. Leave me up and leave somebody else.

You're doing the pink and roll. You and Shaq pick and roll. I'm living with the odds. What are they going to do? How are they going to guard you? What are they going to do? Go under? They're going to go over?

They're going to double? They can't do nothing. Four shooters. I feel the same way. We put four shooters. Shaq and Akeem and KG pick and roll, pick and pop with KG. That's nine out of ten. That's nine out of ten.

Switch. Go to crab them in the bucket. Switch them. We're going to go mismatch. See, that's why. We got nine out of ten. Go to crab him in the bucket. Switch him. We're going to go mismatch. We got to play mismatch. That's why when I do five, I think about how everyone actually plays. Shaq going to slow the game down. Shaq slow the game down.

We both put four shooters. I consider KG a shooter. A three-point shooter? No. Yeah, he can shoot threes, but it's mostly two-pointers, long twos. What's the next question? All right, this is our, you know. Next question.

We're a fun, lighthearted show, but got some extremely terrible news to report. Jerry Springer from our youth, y'all remember the Jerry Springer show? He deuced out on us today. Damn, R.P. Jerry. Holler back, Jerry. He was in the chat? Huh? He was in the chat and he today. Damn RPG holler back. Well, he was in a chat Huh? He was in the chat. No, no, he died. He no longer will he be with it? He went to the upper room Recipe I are we laughing? The Bucks and Jerry Springer, it's the rule of three, so hopefully it ain't them Lakers,

Damn, Jerry. Damn, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. There was a guy. Jerry was that guy. There was a guy. Jerry was that guy. If Steve would come through, Steve, Steve, Steve. Had to break it up. But they want to know, can you recreate that show inside of Gil's arena? We can almost do a segment where we... Oh, that's Maury.

I'm fucking smoking crack. You are not a baller. That's funny. They get to running around and chasing him. Running up the stairs and stealing crack. You are not the number one guy. You are not the number one guy. You are not the number one guy. You are not the number one guy. You are not the number one guy. You are not the baller. You are not a baller. And then they get to running around and chasing him. Running up the stairs.

You are not the number one guy. You are not the number one guy. But that was more. I'm confusing my Caucasian men. They had a profound impact on my life. But damn, Jerry. The Jerry Springer family. You know.

They got to get it. Jerry Springer's family is still alive, go ahead and download the Underdog Fantasy app. Use promo code GILSARIO. To help cover the cost, they got to get it. Get the insurance if you must.

He said if anybody from Jerry Springer's family is still alive, get down with Underdog. Gil, I got to keep these lights on. Y'all know that he's stressing me out? You got bars. I was going to end it with that, but we'll stop with this one right here. You got real bars, bro.

Sometimes, when y'all get me in the right moment, I start hitting the fucking end. What are you sipping, Gil? Whose beverage? MJ's. Okay, see, y'all don't know. Behind us, Gil got a whole thing. He got Lobos. He got, what's the MJ shit called?

I know I'll pick. I normally don't participate in these, but I'm going to say yourself. Because you're wild, but you're realistic. And if I'm a player, I've got to listen to you because I've seen you cook some of the best players in the NBA history. Oh, no, we're going to be getting buckets. We're going to be getting buckets. I'm not going to. We're going to listen.

Listen, the owner is not going to be able to afford my players. You like the Deion. Because I'm going to tell them, hey, listen, y'all. Y'all all want to be max, right? Then we all working like max players. We all working. Everybody taking 500 to 1,000 shots after every practice. Just period.

That's just, I want everybody to try to get maximum contracts. I like that. Like, you know, that's just period. I'll say like Kenny Smith. I like the way Kenny Smith break down the game on TNT. I like his knowledge. I think he'll be a good one. And he has an AAU program too. Yeah, I just like his perspective.

I think he can still connect with the youth. He's on TV a lot. Guys know him. I think he'll be good. Well, since you're going to go that way, I'd say Chuck. I'm going to go with Charles Barkley. Hell no. Fuck no.

Fuck yeah. Let's go Charles. Chuck. I just want to hear you. Ain't no telling what's going on. Ain't no telling what's going on. But hey, Chuck know his game. That motherfucker might not even show up.

I was like, when have you ever heard of Chuck Tate? He was like, oh, that was a good ass Tate. I see it all the time, but I be high, so it don't matter.
