Now let's get into some actual basketball. That was our Easter egg. Shout out to our crew for blessing us. Hi, I says talk too. Talk some playing. Cold ass winter, dog. It's a cold ass. So Mavs went into Sactown looking to keep their season alive for a chance to play for the eighth seed on Friday. Let's check out the highlights. It was a redemption game for Klay Thompson after he went scoreless

on 0 for 10 shooting against the Kings in last year's plan, which ended up being his last game in a Warriors uniform. Looked much like the same early on as he missed his first two shots in the first quarter, went scoreless. But then Klay caught fire and couldn't miss, dropping 23 points on 8 for 11 shooting, including 5 for 7 from three-point range. Four of those threes came in the second quarter when the Mavs outscored the Kings 44-19, which gave Dallas a big lead they would hold on to for the majority of the game. Klay said it felt good to exercise his demons after the game, which it always does. Anthony Davis was great in this game as well, dropping 27 points,

nine rebounds in three blocks and 35 minutes of work. AD lost his first 10 career meetings against Sabonis, but has now won five straight games against him, which all came this season. Dallas never trailed in the second half of the game. On the Kings side, DeMar DeRozan led all scorers with 33 points. Zach Levine had 20. No other Kings player scored more than 11 points. Sabonis was a player with 11.

He had 11-13 rebounds and five dimes. So during the game, it was reported that Mavs GM Nico Harrison said the team packed for eight days to account for two playing games and a meeting with the Thunder in the first round. Now the Mavs head to Memphis for a showdown with the Grizzlies for the final playoff spot that game on Friday. So what's the biggest takeaway from the Mavs' blowout win over the Kings in the playing game?

Besides, we all got it wrong yesterday. Yeah. They played like they didn't want to go home. Yeah, they did. Yeah, he did. KJ got it right. He did. I mean, now they got to get ready for Memphis. And that's going to be a dogfight.

But they look good, though. They ain't fucking around beating Memphis. I mean, K gotta get ready for Memphis and that's gonna be a dogfight No, but they look good though ground beat Memphis. Look, I mean clay And ad they did that's why they look good I'm sorry, man. I remember with LeBron and ad shit. I said ad wasn't trying to play Let you go out there and do this shit, but scored two points against LeBron, nine points against LeBron. I'm sorry, you was right. LeBron locked it up, man. Locked that shit up, man. I'm sorry.

AD 27, nine, three block, 35 minutes in this game. Made a statement, was talking shit to Kings fans. Told them to go home, beat the traffic during the game. They were talking back to him too. No beam was lit. No beam was lit. Eat these, man. No beam was lit. But I'm proud of her, because Sabonis normally be like trying to punk AD a little bit, so... That's what the old days. The thing about the old days, Swaggy, is they are the old days.

AD, five straight wins against Sabonis. Four in the regular season. When he's with the Lakers, this one with the Mavs. Five straight. I see you eating candy. Enjoying that Kit Kat. So, it's still five straight. Did not say it wasn't, sir. Did not say it wasn't. This shit don't count. The playing doesn't. It counts in our hearts, Gil. It don't count.

Oh, it don't count in the stats, huh? No. It don't count in the stats, so it don't count as a five straight still. The playing game doesn't? Five straight including the playing, so four straight is what you're saying? The play-in does not count. You said Sabonis beat him five times. Sabonis beat him ten straight times to start his career. Ten straight times, so it's still, the streak is still on.

No, AD broke the streak this year. Right, they lost, yes. When? This season, when the Lakers beat the Kings. Oh yeah. You're a Lakers fan, so. He was on the team? Anthony Davis, a member of the Los Angeles Lakers before the Luka Doncic trade.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry, 10-1? I'm just kidding. Four wins. We're going to act like this counts. If your stats don't count, then whatever winning streak that was on or losing streak that was on, don't count. So the stats don't count in a playing game

They disappear into the universe just some shit that is out there You guys had 40 yeah, but it did have four straight wins when he was still a member of the Lakers this season against the Kings Oh, oh and they didn't win this playoff playing game. Excuse me. This is a big one to keep the math season alive They in the playoffs. I'm sorry. Everybody thought the Kings gonna win. Yeah, everybody They still make the playoffs I'm having a year like this, hey, you're just still bright So good you've said repeatedly that don't count the map should have just said fuck it Try to get a higher draft pick. Now they have a chance to secure the A seed. I think we'll put them out of the lottery. So six and above is protected or six and below is protected?

Which one is protected from their picks? What do you mean? If Dallas would have got like a top three, four pick. I think they get, they own their own pick. Let me see. Oh. Yes, they own their own pick in the 2025 draft. So let's just say they lose this next game, right, and they're out.

Those six, seven wins they got, what is the percentage difference between where they will get the draft pick now or where they would have had it if you took off all those extra six games that they won. Uh let me double check you. So now they can't get a top five pick right? I think uh based on current odds they still have a a 1% chance of getting the number one pick. Okay. But if they make the playoffs I believe that they are now out of the lottery. Okay.

And if they would take away them six games, they would have had what? A much higher chance. Okay. If you take six wins off Dallas, they have about a 26% chance at a top four pick, 6% chance at the number one. So, okay. So those six wins, that does nothing for you

if you lose this next game because you're still out of the playoffs. You jeopardize 20 what percent? 26, right? But does it help you build momentum? No, it doesn't. Regain fan trust? Show that you still care?

A little bit. A little bit. It does. Yeah, for sure. If they make it to the playoffs. Not even if. Like, what AD doing? You don't think the fans like?

So if they lose to Memphis, you know they're going to lose. What I'm saying, if you lose to Memphis, everything you did that resulted in a loss actually just took 20% chance of you getting the top four pick. And these top four picks is some nice-ass picks. Like, this is a good group. This ain't last year's group where we don't know who the fuck we picking. This one, the fourth pick is actually a stud. Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.

Even that. One, two, three, four, five. The lottery is kind of good. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The whole lottery is kind of good. To secure at least a top four pick for six extra games that do nothing for your morale. It doesn't do anything. But from a player standpoint, you know the players don't care about the draft.

That's essentially somebody who may come in and take their job. Yeah. Obviously that's different from what a team or organization may want, right? But why allow these guys to play and then still do this? That's my whole question. What do you get out of it? It only hurts you. There's no out of it? It only hurts you. There's no positive for this.

It only hurts you. AD can get hurt. So why do it? Why have it? That's what I'm saying. What was the point of it? I think it's probably more just for AD, though. It's probably just more for him than anything, probably.

And the team. And Klay. Yeah. I think the whole team, you know. the team. And Klay. Yeah. I think the whole team, you know. Like, shit, Klay needed that game last night. Klay 0 for 10 playing last season. Like, it's been so much negativity around just AD, bro. The trade.

Yeah, the trade and the aura. Mm-hmm. I understand why AD felt like he probably needed to go out there, you know, and once you needed to go out there, you know, and once you see him go out there, here comes Klay. I mean, it's basketball too. It's basketball too, right? You just want to play.

I mean, if you can, if they beat Memphis and get to the playoffs, that's still a positive year. Yeah. For sure. After all this. It is. It is. We still made the playoffs.

They said AD wasn't going to get us there. We got to the playoffs with what we have. Yeah. Klay still, Klay. After all this. It is. It is. We still made the playoffs. They said AD wasn't going to get us there. We got to the playoffs with what we have. Yeah. Klay out here making shots. That means if they even, say they even go into OKC and just take it to six. I mean, if I'm a free agent, Kyrie going to come back? I mean, shit, we still got a chance over here. The problem is your record is 10th, right?

Your record is 10th. You made the playoffs. You are an 8th seed now. Okay. In the draft. Your record is a 10th seed. Your draft status now is an 8th seed and whoever was 8th, their status

is whatever it is. So you've been a 10th seed all season and did all this to then... But is this Mavs team really a 10th seed all season and did all this to then. But is this Mavs team really a 10th seed, though? AD missed a bunch of games. That was the beauty. Kyrie, ACL injury. That was the beauty of it.

It wasn't an 8th seed or a 10th seed, but they get treated like one. Are we not paying attention? This is where history kicks in. History has shown you how dynasties was built. It was built off one bad year from a good team, and they capitalized on it. When they missed some injuries, instead of being a 6 or 7C, they said, fuck it. Y'all all be healthy. We're going to get one of these top three, four picks, and we're going to use the James Worthy while

we are already a dynasty. So when Captain goes down, James Worthy is, by the time James Worthy gets, we good. We still good for the next six, seven years. The only thing that really stopped the Lakers was Magic. What happened with Magic? Other than that, they would have still been moving. Yeah, for sure.

Bulls wasn't beating them that year. Hell no. Shit, Magic was the Magic. I mean, Magic played well, but Worthy, Ankle, Byron Scott, Ankle, they wasn't playing that series. Spurs and Tim Duncan, right? Shit, Warriors, when they got Wiseman, right? Was that the second pick in the draft, third pick in the draft?

Right, those don't come along that often. when they got Wiseman, right? Was that the second pick in the draft? Third pick in the draft? Second. Right? Those don't come along that often. So when they do, you got to capitalize on it. They had a chance to capitalize. Trade it. This guy gets hurt. Kyrie gets hurt. This is when you be like,

let's see if we can lose enough games, get a top two pick. Now, what if they did get Cooper Flagg? Now you got Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis with Kyrie come back with Clay. That's a fucking dynasty now. My mission is to win now. You're going to win next year.

Where did Cooper Flagg put it? Like, where do we fit in? He take P.J. Washington's spot? Okay. All right. I mean, is that a... But is that a hell of an upgrade? Now you got Gafford.

Gafford at the five or Lively at the five. You got ADN. You got another 6'10", 6'11 guy who's just going to go out there and play hard. I mean, that's a different team. But you don't think the players right now, though, are like... Just based off of all the shit that's happened.

They get rid of Luka, Kyrie gets hurt, they hear the fans, all that. Like, you don't think the guys right now are like, we hear all the noise, we want to focus on right now and we want to win. Like, so you don't think them winning last night, playing Memphis, Memphis like you don't think that matters right now to them And winning in a game that didn't exist four years ago But they do you mean like one knows that you've been trashed all I guess that you trash all year you think to now all of Us happy about yourself gonna come from an organizational standpoint if you're the Mavs, right? You want to go ahead and tank this, try to get a high draft pick.

But for the players actually playing, you got Clay who was 0 for 10 last year against the Kings. AD who's been getting cooked by Sabonis for most of his career until this season. They're playing for something, right? They're not going to just be like, oh, let's just tank it so we can get somebody to take on our spots, right? And then you hear Nico saying, pack for a fucking eight.

The organization, because the organization always cares about what the players think. I feel like they care more about me. At the end of the season when they thinking, god damn it, we know they thinking. Put your ass in three, four minutes or sit you down or whatever, they do it all the time. But do the players care about what the organizations think, I guess is my question for you. No, the players, because they got bonuses in their contracts, so obviously the players don't want to play because it's the end of the season.

I want to go out there and try to have 50 and do what I do, see if I can go into free agency, you know. Yep. Of course. I mean, and there was talk about shutting AD down, so they bring AD back, let him play. Don't you think if that was their mentality, they'd just say, AD, chill for the rest of the season.

So even bringing him back, now you're playing with fire, putting yourself in this position. I looked at it like this, man. They are at the casino. And it's red and black. And it's going opposite whatever they pick. See, like, I'm going to come back, man.

Just give me $100. You know what I mean? That's all this is. You know what I mean? It's five straight reds. They decide they wanna go black, it goes red. They wanna go red, it goes black. It's just seem like everything they do

is just ain't it for them. That's how it looks to me. So now, beat the Kings. Now they head to Memphis. Like Nico said, they packed for eight days, they wanted to beat the Kings, beat the Grizzlies, see the Thunder in the first round. Are you more confident in the Mavs or Grizzlies in the A.C. playing game? Memphis get up in there So if you want to see jaw and that's GA go at it for the first round

You know you want some views you want some? Some entertainment. I'm gonna go ahead and make sure I get up in there, right? But I don't want to win over they got a what they did to the Warriors John got a Jack gotta come out there and go for 30 one time, man. He rolled his ankle. I mean, he still played. I mean, shit, they was fighting. He rolled his ankle? Yeah.

Stepped on Buddy Hill's foot? Yeah, I mean, they was fighting. Because of how they playing. I mean, they was fighting all the way to the end. Yeah, they fought to the end. I saw that game. Down by three, 5.4 seconds left to go in the game, get the five-second call.

So they were still in the game. I'm saying they were. There was one smart shot away from going up. But I feel like Memphis always lose these type of fucking games to me. No, they've always been in the play-in. They've been in the play-in and always made it to the playoffs. So they beat the Warriors, I think, back 2021. The previous game, LeBron dotted Steph's eye.

Warriors, Grizzlies. Grizzlies ended the Warriors season. So, John, they've been here before. I mean, personally, I wanna see SGA and Ja play first round. I do too. You like that matchup more than- Hell yeah. Dallas, yeah. I wanna see Dallas.

AD versus Chet Holbrook. I wanna see Dallas, but you know Dallas gonna lose, but. But Ja versus SGA, you know it's going- I have real faith in the Mavs. Sure you have faith in the Dallas Mavericks? No. Okay. So y'all is off. Yeah, you know it's going to match sure you have faith in the Dallas Mavericks no, okay So y'all is all oh I don't

Now everything I said it should make sense then From organizational standpoint If we all pick we would rather see Memphis play. Yes. And the league probably is thinking the same thing for viewers, which means if Dallas lose, was this last month and a half even worth it then to lose 26% chance? I'm just saying.

Yeah, it's worth it. Okay. For AD's sake, I don't know. AD is ball's worth it. Okay. For AD's sake, I don't know. AD is balling, bro. If you're talking like that, no. No, it's not. No? Because now we lose our chance. If I can see the future and know I'm going to get all the way up here to lose it and I had a 26 percent chance, if I can rewind

time, I'm going to say, fuck that. I'm going to take my 26 percent chance. Well, but just because we're saying we don't have faith in them doesn't mean that they don't have faith in themselves who you say you want to see you a fan right yeah just make sure I don't want it just sells but sells better you got the MVP is first a young. I know, but I'm just saying. It just sounds better, right? Just boom.

Yeah. It does. He can sell us all the things. All right. Just making sure. I thought the same way about SAC. Shit, that'll surprise them. Last night.

But looking ahead between those two teams, obviously battling for the eighth spot to take on OKC. OKC 68 wins this year, franchise record. I think 15, 16 game lead in the Western Conference. Which team is better suited to give OKC. OKC 68 wins this year, franchise record. I think 15, 16 game lead in the Western Conference. Which team is better suited to give OKC some level of a challenge?

No. Probably Memphis. You think Memphis? Memphis will get a game. They can run up and down with them. Yeah, they'll get a game. They'll run up and down with them. Hell no.

It's a grimy team. All right. It's a grimy team, so it's not like they're just some pushovers. They're going to fight. They're going to fight to the end. So that's the best. I mean, you got more of those over there with mental problems, so, you know. They're happy to have a game that they, ooh, we did good. You know, let's keep playing these pointless games

so we can make ourselves feel better for next season. Don't do that. We can't be happy, though. Well, you know, speaking of next season, we all know Kyrie suffered this season in the ACL injury, but here was Kyrie Irving's reaction on Twitter

after the Mavs took home the win last night. So Kyrie tweeted, Yes, sir. Dallas Mavs. Way to handle business tonight. MFFL tribe. stay together no matter what. So Shams dropped an interesting tidbit on the nine-time All-Stars recovery timeline for from his torn ACL saying there's optimism that Kyrie could be back on the court by January. So Kyrie of course has a player option this summer so it's not a hundred percent

guarantee he'll be back in Dallas although they can pay him more money than any other team in an extra year to stay with the Mavs. So would Kyrie returning in January make the Mavs a championship contender next season? I don't know. What do you think? First of all, I don't even like that he put a timetable. This is coming from Sean. It's not coming from Kyrie, but it feels like we know he's got a player option,

a deal coming up, trying to be super optimistic. But optimism and hope work together. Like the fact that you put that out there, that's what the media does. Yeah. You put a timetable out there, and then when that tim put that out there, that's, see, that's what the media does. Yeah. You put a timetable out there, and then when that timetable gets close, those fans of Dallas is going to be expecting him to be back in January and pushing for him to be back in January, even if his knee is not ready. Yep.

Right? You purposely done, I'm not going to say you purposely done that, but that is a tactic that has been happening where you put timetables on things, and you don't know his name, you don't know what his body is, you don't know nothing that's going on. Fuck all that time till when he's back, he's back. Middle of April right now.

I'd rather you say he's gonna miss all of next season so nobody has hope, and then if he comes back in January, let's go. Yep. And that's what even the kind of report feels like, trying to give the Mavs fans some optimism, trying to bring some positivity to Dallas. We're eight and a half months, nearly nine months away from January.

So to even, that might be the time that you guys all know coming back from serious injury. But where did he get that from? Asham's reported it, so. I know, where did he get it from? He didn't get it from Kyrie. Like, I know, Kyrie didn't tell him that. I know he didn't get it from? Like I know

I know Kyrie ain't talk to him. I don't know man Kyrie is a Motherful, so he probably taking some natural. He didn't get it from back Sage this whole me. No, I'm telling y'all Maybe I should know this but I don't what what's M table on that. I'm going to put a time table on it. Sorry. Maybe I should know this, but I don't. What's MFL? I think Mavs Fans for Life, if I'm not mistaken. That's it? Mavs Fans for Life Tribe.

I didn't know what that was. I found out through Lucas' former... Did you just make that up? No, I did not, Cheryl. Okay. I'm well versed in the internet. I'm pretty sure Lucas started that. Stop, man. I'm just saying, he probably did.

Nah, but with Kyrie, I think... I think they got a chance to beat anybody, to tell you the truth. Yeah, but you also don't know how he's gonna come back from that, from his knee. Yeah. Yeah. Like, an ACL injury ain't no joke.

Especially where he twerk his body. And the way he body. Yeah. And the way he moves. Yeah. Like, if... Most likely, like, if we're talking just the business side of it, I don't see Kyrie coming back

until probably, like, the last five, seven games of the season to show he's healthy. Right? So he can go in a free agency and, you the season to show he's healthy. Right? So he can go in a free agency and, you know, get what he's worth. And we've talked about this before. He has that player option. Do you think he's better served trying to sign a longer deal with the Mavs or just opting in and then, like you said,

looking ahead to that next summer trying to show he's still got it to try and get a deal after that? If I'm him, I'm going to opt in. You opt into your money to give yourself a stress-free rehab. Once you opt out and say,

all right, I'm going to forego this, that whole season is going to be under the microscope. Everything. I mean, there's going to, because if they don't want you, they're going to push out, oh, he's not, you know, and the timetable's not going well. There's all this shit that's going to be happening that you don't need. So it's easier to opt into it, right?

I'm here, and then we're going to rehab. There's no pushing for me. Um, and then when towards the end of the season, we can really evaluate how I really look and feel. Because it's not really... Fuck the public. You don't have to convince the public you're healthy. I got to convince you I'm healthy,

because you're the one that's gonna be watching me in practice, watching me and how I look at my movement and stuff. So when I go back to negotiate with you, the only time that I have to play an actual game is for the rest of the NBA. But I can sit out the whole season, get healthy, and then go through tryouts. I mean, not tryouts, but go through workouts with a team. So Kyrie, player option for $44 million next year. Let's say, hypothetically, the Mavs come to him and say,

we want to give you 300 range, a little bit more than that. Would that be something, if you were Kyrie, you would do to lock up the bread, to give yourself that safety and security to not have the stress of having to come back early next year and prove that you still got it to look ahead to the next free agency? To me, you gave me an extra 60. Maybe. And how old am I, 30?

33 years old, just turned 33 in March. Ooh, cause this, damn, this is an important year too. Just the age itself, because this should be my last big one. And now I got to just say is this last big one three year 100 basically two year four. I mean I would I probably would. OK. I mean I mean that's 60 million dollars that you're giving me.

You know. Yeah I do it. Me personally I do it. So we asked the chat who they think is going to win the AFC playing game on Friday. 95% said... 51% said the Grizzlies. Only 51? 49% thinks the Mavs.

Who's the point guard in Dallas right now? That's what I've been thinking. Anthony Davis. No, no, hey. Nah. PJ, just name somebody, goddammit. I'll tell you the starting line- I think Hardy's hurt.

I'll tell you the starting line if they rolled out last night, it was Clay, Najee Marshall, PJ Washington, Anthony Davis, Derek Lively. Nah, Anthony Davis. Yeah, Clay. Clay, Anthony Davis. Who the fuck gonna bring the ball up? What's the ball up? Hardy.

Hardy played two minutes last night. He must be a free agent. We had him on our team. He was on Brooklyn. Is he? Oh, Spencer Dinwiddie. No, no. Christy, Max. Oh, Christy Maxie.

Max Christy played 13 minutes. Dinwiddie only playedie. Max Christy. Max Christy played 15 minutes. Dinwiddie only played two minutes in the game. Max Christy is supposed to be that dude. Mm. Mm. Mm-mm. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, wait a minute. Yeah, he was in the trade. Yeah. But when he first got there, this motherfucker was whooping ass. What happened? He came back. God only knows, Gil. But let's talk about Nico Harrison a little bit more.

So we spoke about Nico Harrison's closed-door press conference with the Dallas media on yesterday's show. Shams provided some extra detail on why that press conference went down that way, saying, Nico Harrison did not want to do this closed-door roundtable. This was not his idea. This was something that was enforced by their owner, Patrick Dumont. So you feel bad for Nico after hearing he's being pressured by ownership? Or have you always felt this way? Tell him how you feel, son. Tell him how you feel.

You got paid to do a job. Mm-mm. Tell them how you feel, son. Tell them how you feel. You got paid to do a job. And that job is to do what I tell your ass to do. I mean, why we acting like this is a fact? No, like, yeah, my thing is, like, I don't feel bad for him, because to your point, you a grown-ass man. Mm-hmm. Still getting checks. Facts. You still getting a check, which means you-ass man. Mm-hmm. Still getting checks.

Facts. You're still getting a check, which means you're getting paid to do a job, and that job is to do what the owners are telling you to do. And if you're not okay with that, then you got to move around. You're a hero? Move around, yeah.

No, I'm saying it. You're a hero when you make good trades. The owner don't get no credit for it. When you're the general manager, you make a trade, right? You look great. Yes. You make a bad trade, your ass is going to look bad. Right? You can hide all you want just because you didn't want to do it.

Well, you need to speak to these people. Yes. The owners are not going to come out and sit and have a press conference. Nope. That's what Nick goes get and pay the big a press conference. That's what Nico's getting paid the big bucks to do. You be the face of me. No, I don't feel sorry.

You don't? But also, Nico knew what he was walking into when he took the job. And guess what you said yesterday? Not all the way. Nico didn't make that Luca trade. I don't mean about the Luca part. But as a GM, you understand what your responsibilities are. you say yesterday? You feel like... Nah, all the way. Nico didn't make that Luca trade. I don't mean about the Luca part. Yeah, I was about to say,

But as a DM, you understand what your responsibilities are. For sure, for sure. Now, I'm sure he never thought when he took the job... Yeah, that Luca. ...that he was gonna be...

Mark Cuban's gonna sell that shit, right? That part, too. Yeah. Damn. Because at the end of the day, the bad part about this Nico thing is Because the world

Think you did it Right and you gotta sit there With the shit on your face The owners themselves can fire you And still be heroes No matter what Hey I need you to go do this fuck him Do it.

And then everybody hates you for it. Then I can fire you and be the hero. Yeah. Right? And that's the position he's in right now. Because people are going to look at it and say, well, the owners fired you because you got rid of Luca. Yeah. Yeah.

So is he really in a no-win situation? Because even if the Mavs win a chip, right, there's still going to be some saltiness, some lingering bitterness. Well, yeah, but if he wins a chip, they win a chip. That's different. a chip, if they win a chip, that's different. I mean, if they win a chip and then they don't win after two years, then

he's out of there. It's like they're doing these coaches. It's a no-win situation because you win a chip, ha ha ha ha. Luka wins a chip, we're back even. Now, whatever Luka does for the rest of his career, he has one up on Dallas.

Every championship is going to be like, that could have been ours. That could have been ours. That could have been ours. Gil is so confident. I love this Laker confidence boy. Luka win a chip. I love it, man. It's called history.

History says that. History says the superstar for the Lakers, they've all won championships. Every superstar, every face of the Lakers organization that is pushed out to the NBA, they've won a chip. That is true. 18 with the NCAA tournament championship. 18 with the in-season tournament championship. 18 with the in-season tournament championship.

17 real ones. I'm just going off of history. I'm just saying, you know, when you go back in. He said 17 real ones. 17, yeah, he adds the in-season tournament. It is a championship. Oh, yeah, my bad. There was a tournament and there was a champion.

You know what I mean? I just looked at the probability of a superstar not getting one. Well. History says all the big dogs at some point end up coming. So the likelihood of Wimby, Jokic, Ant-Man, Giannis, a probability of one of them coming to the Lakers is a very high probability.

If you look through history, just look at every big name. Like, if you look at the top 10, it's Lakers. If you look at top 50, the it's Lakers. If you look at top 50, the majority of them is Lakers. Yeah. You know what I mean? So eventually, those greats eventually travels

to the L.A. market at some point in their career to piggyback and win. And Luka's going to be there. So just imagine. I see more of the bigs than the guard coming. It's usually a big, so it'll be... We already got our guard.

We already got our guard. Yeah. So it'll be a big. Who we getting? Jokic, Giannis. Jokic, Giannis, Wimby, Paulo Banchero. It'll be one. I don't give a fuck what you say out there now.

It's going to be one. I believe it. Nah. It's the Lakers. It's the Lakers. I'm pretty sure it's the Lakers. I don't give a fuck what you say out there now. It's going to be one. I believe it. No.

It's the Lakers. It's the Lakers. I'm pretty sure Orlando thought the same thing when Shaq took his ass out of there. And the White. And growing up. Get right with God now, ladies and gentlemen. Everybody talked about the Lakers or the Celtics. No, he said it's the Lakers. I was like, yeah, like just growing up as a kid.

It was the Lakers. You wanted to be a Laker. Or a Boston. Or a Celtic. In the W, was it you guys back when y'all started? I mean, I don't know.

No, because there wasn't... I would think so, because we won the first four, so... I mean, why wouldn't you... Why wouldn't you want to come in? That's a cool... Why wouldn't you want to be a comic? Because we're in Sparks territory.

Well, there were some Sparks who wanted to be a comic. That is fair. That is fair. Talk that talk. Well, let's keep this thing moving. Shout out to Rough Greens for sponsoring today's podcast.

On the Eastern Conference side of the playing bracket, Miami Heat went on the road and handled business in Chicago against the Bulls. This one was not close, rather boring, but let's look at the highlights. This was a wire-to-wire win for the Heat as they never trailed in the game. All-star Tyler Hero came up big in this one,

leading the way with 38 points on 13-for-19 shooting, losing 23 points with no missed shots in the first half. Bam Adebayo had a double-double with 15 points and 12 boards. Andrew Wiggins had 20 points and nine boards as well. So the Bulls' season is over. They have failed to reach the playoffs in each of the last three seasons with the Heat knocking them out each of those three times. As a franchise, the Bulls have not gotten further than round one of the playoffs since firing Tom Thibodeau in 2015. Well, let's take a look at the Miami Heat. Gil,

yesterday on the show we asked for playing predictions for this game. You said the Bulls should win, but the NBA would do the Heat a solid. Seems like the Heat took care of business without that help necessary. Alright. No. Alright. Tyler Hero,

like a man possessed in the game. Like he watched our show, heard us trying to say that Austin Reeves was the top white American. I was going to say it was White Boy Wednesday yesterday. It was White Boy Wednesday recently, Cheryl. Tyler Hero cannot swim, so he has Negro tendencies. But nonetheless, did the blowout last night tell you more about the Heat or the Bulls? Just like you stupid. Stupid. Hero. Tyler Hero. I was about to sayiah, you stupid. You stupid. Hero.

Tyler Hero. I was about to say, it was more about Tyler Hero. Yeah. Yeah. It looked like the Tyler Hero show. Ooh, he was killing them. I knew better. I don't know why I picked the Bulls.

I knew better. Trash. You can't say the NBA wanted that to happen. People got to make shots, sir. Still got to do your part. He looked good last night. Bam doing his thing. You can't say the NBA wanted that to happen people got make shots Do it a good enough in his a1 They still got one more game right I said he did good not enough Who bail yeah, why are you so that because I had him at 15.5. Oh, my bad. My bad. My bad. The motherfucker scored half a point.

And they do that shit on purpose. Oh, man, he's giving me so long. My bad. Like, I'd be loving it. I'd just be looking at him just like, yeah, you. My bad. That's why I like to put my shit public. That half point, it always be that.

He just stopped at it like, nigga, I heard what you said about me two months ago. He'll take that. Stop believing in me. But yeah, I mean, it says more about the Bulls. The Bulls. That weak-ass shot they got was the highlight of the season. They were talking.

We were on playback watching that game. The Gidler hit the half-court shot. Bulls fans, the Bulls Twitter account. That's the highlight of the game. 2-0 versus the Lakersakers this season they did win both games against the lakers now they're in cancun that's the highlight of the day this season i knew i'm glad they out i don't know the bulls got a bright future you don't think so yeah they got a real bright future white and good i don't know but oh my god he looked. I don't know. The Heat look good, though. The Heat look good. I don't know if the Heat looked that good last night

or if the Bulls looked like trash last night. But you're playing for your season right now. You have a home game. Let Miami come in and absolutely cook you like that. Yeah, like it wasn't even a close game. Because if it was the Lakers, they would actually play hard. Yeah. I don't know.

I think... you got to get rid of my USC native, Vucevic or whatever, from you, from the Bulls. Vucevic. Just go young. And, uh... Yeah. Probably trade him. We could use him in L.A. Nick be destroying people.

No, we don't want him. You don't want Vucevic on the bench? No, we need't want them. You don't want Vucevic on the bench? No, we need athletes. Luka need that black blood. He need one of them Compton. Them Compton, one of them real Chicagoans. Southside. Who like jumping over gates.

Vucevic could help the Lakers. For sure. No, no, no, no. We need somebody from either any hand of blood, because they jump high, right? We want the Chicago. They got to jump through shit their whole life growing up. He's coming back home.

He went to USC. Come on. We need jumping bunnies. Luka needs a lob threat. Average a dub. Yeah, that's passing him the ball. That don't help Luka. That help LeBron.

That don't help Luka. Luka need the pick and roll. Oh. Throw that lob. He need one of them. How do you play for somebody that can't catch? A center that can't catch? How is that? You heard the cities I said, right? I know.

Chicago. Vucevic can catch. Cool, but he can't catch a lob. He can't catch a lob. Are you not understanding what Luka needs? He needs a lob threat. He doesn't need to do this and hand it off to somebody. We already got Vando. Little ass do that. We need we need this. We need we need that

guy. We need this. Yeah, that's what we do. Who's out there like that? Nobody. Giannis. You know, go get Jones again. What's in there? Derrick Jones. That's the Dallas guy, yeah. I wouldn't be mad at it. But no, we need a real big, a live threat, a real big live threat. They had some live threats in Dallas last year. Yes, they did. Jones.

Yeah, sure. Yeah, they did. Think about it. Gaffer, I mean, Gaffer Jones. Did Capella do anything for you? Maybe like seven years ago. No, I'm serious. About seven years ago, he had done

Trae Young didn't use the fuck out of them legs. Yeah. He bought it up. He done wore them shits out. What about Collins? Collins, whatever name from Utah. John Collins. John Collins.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, since we have to talk about it, do you like the Heat or Hawks in the AFC game? Obviously, we saw that Hawks game. Trey looked a little early. Trey's the best person in the NBA right now. I love Trey. You see what he did in the last game?

They lost. It don't matter. Like, we punked the ref. Like, come on. You said he's the best in the NBA right now? Best person said best person person best person the size jaw like the that i like energy wise like against the calves did you see what he did the nutmeg against the rough real fast scared two-handed textbook chest pass man come. You still need that energy in the playoff, bro. It's gonna be some type of- You do.

I mean, I do like Trey in the playoffs. No, you do. Yeah, Trey in the playoffs is exciting. Yeah. He never fails. Yeah. Does he squad go play with a chip on their shoulder? Atlanta or Miami? I got Atlanta.

I got Atlanta. Yeah, cuz I wanna see Trey play in the playoffs first round. Just because, just never know. Yeah. Because even if they go 0-4, he going to give you something as a viewer. Yeah. Miami Heat? It's going to be some 40s and 11s and 30s.

68% of the chat is picking the Heat over the Hawks. Don't know if that does anything for you. Shout out to our chat. I mean, I'm going to be honest. If the Heat win, I'm not watching Cleveland Heat. the Hawks. Don't know if that does anything for you. Shout out to our chat. I mean, I'm going to just be honest. If the Heat win, I'm not watching Cleveland Heat. I'm just being honest. Y'all will watch for you, report back. For sure or not?

I mean, I'll watch. If Hero do something, I'll take Hero. I'd rather see Donovan Mitchell and Trey Young because Donovan Mitchell, when he's playing against another high-level guard, he goes banana. Like, it's like he takes that shit personal.

So I'd rather see them. Man, I feel like they got it. Those are, like, for guard play, you got John Moran and Shea, and then these two. Yeah. Hell yeah. Because you'd rather see it. Yeah. That's why you're going with Atlanta?

Or do you think Miami can really beat Atlanta? I don't know. I think Atlanta. Because there's a difference. I'm a content creator. And I learned my content creating from the NBA. We have the extended Scott Foster in the arena. And all I'm saying is the best content on TV is.

You're going to be walking in and targeting. It's that ice tray. It's ice tray. I'm just saying. It's that ice tray. That's all I'm saying. Keep laying the secrets out. Gil, you say you are a content creator, a sports content creator,

Please help support Gil Give him a blessing so he can give us all blessings Obviously as we all look for raises and promotions in the near future here on gills arena presented by underdog We will people think I like people actually think I hate the heat. I'm saying what I will rather see as a

Viewer it has nothing to do they can lose both teams can lose Oh for which old for what I rather look at'd rather look at Trey Young versus Donovan Mitchell and Garland. That looks like that would be very exciting. You would rather see that. That's going to be some live. But do you think Miami can beat Atlanta?

Do I think Miami can beat Atlanta? Yeah, I think they can beat Atlanta. Yeah, for sure. I don't think so. Do you care either way? I do. I want to see beat Atlanta. Yeah, for sure. I don't think so. Do you care either way? I do. I want to see Trey. Okay. You want Trey. And I think Trey got a better team over around there.

Like, I don't think Wiggins is going to have a 20-point game again. Like, I don't know who Wiggins is on Miami. He's still Andrew Wiggins? Like, I mean, you got Dawson. What's his name? Andrew Wiggins playing nice right now. Field leader. Dyson Daniels. D. Daniels, field leader.

Dyson Daniels. Dyson Daniels. I mean, Miami probably has a better complete team. There's a better complete team and a better coach. Yeah, they're the better team, especially for playoffs. But I'm saying as a viewer. Yeah. You think they got a better team?

Yeah. You know, you got veterans. You got Bam. I love Trae. He's a vet. He knows how to play the game. Just Bam. He wrote, then you still got Wiggins. You got Wiggins, NBA champion., you got veterans. You got Bam. He's a vet. He knows how to play the game. Just Bam ain't no hero, though. Hero, then you still got Wiggins.

You got Wiggins, NBA champion. Right, so you still got, yeah, you got three people over there, but they're not exciting. I did not know that was Wiggins. I forgot about him. Oh, yeah. No, I'm just saying they're just not exciting for me. Like, if he made it, that's just not a series I would watch.

I'll look at the box score, but I won't put my eyes on it. There's nothing that's going to be exciting me. There's nothing. Donovan Mitchell going for 60, not in that series. There's no guard that's going to make him do that. If Trey Young is playing and Trey Young is going on, he's going to try to match that. So that can be a back-to bubble where one got 50 fold other than

got 50 and 52 and 48 and 48 and 50 that that that's this series. They're gonna push the limits with each other. Well let's keep this thing moving. Something we have to talk about here in the arena. Mr. B has gone viral past few weeks and the past few days by issuing one-on-one challenges to several former NBA players. For those who are catching up, we were on playback watching the Warriors Grizzlies game when Pat Bev came up. Brandon didn't think he

belonged in the one-on-ones conversation that has been going on lately. Suggested he play with the 10 and unders. Bring it on. Then Pat Bev dropped in the playback suddenly to issue a challenge to Brandon. Let's go. Then Pat-Bab dropped in the playback suddenly to issue a challenge to Brandon. Let's take a look. G-A game, baby.

Man, I will dog your little ass. You know that. We only played three times. Okay, I'm talking about now, nigga. I mean, I don't know what I mean. Okay, fuck that. Let's go in the bank account. I'm going to pull out $100,000.

If you have a 35, if you have a 37 in high school, they can would leave an average over 10 No, that's what I'm talking about niggas who actually really got buckets Okay, well then this I'm not talking to the wrong thing is I okay, well then I'm not talking to the road niggas. I'm talking to them niggas. Right. I'm talking to them niggas.

I'm talking to them niggas. How you talking to a nigga that was on the bench on the team I was on? Lou Will was on the bench with two teams that I was the start on. Lou Will said he gave you 40. And you believe that shit? That's what he said. So as Mr. B suggested, Pat Bem, go stick with the 10 and unders. You saw the exchange there.

Swaggy P heard about all of this, took to IG to weigh in on the issue, and defend his Gills Arena. Co-host, legend, friend. So here's a clip from that. Damn, I missed this one. Hell no, I didn't just see that. Nah, we ain't about to do that pat i didn't niggas are sending me all kind of videos talking shit at the gym

Did you post a video? They posted a video of a mechanic. That's crazy. Oh, shit. I did watch that. So you're going to need to put a wall in. So a lot to digest here. Chad, obviously you wanted to discuss it. Mr. B, back

in the arena right now. Mr. B, your thoughts on the exchange with Pat Bev? You know, like, the whole thing about the situation, I never brought his name up. And when I was talking about Ty Lawson, Jeff Teague, and Lou Will, you know, this is something that I was trying to do with these guys because, you know, I respected their careers. You know, I thought they were,. I thought they were bucket getters. And they've had great careers and I feel like I fit that standard of it.

So I'm talking to these three guys and I'm trying to conduct business over here and I got this guy over here just keep tapping me on my shoulder. He's just tapping me on my shoulder trying to buy his way in and I'm just sitting there like, dude, we're not talking to you right now.

There was a criteria that you set in place.

Oh, you saying he outside the club? He outside the club paying to bounce. He ain't got a shoe. He ain't get the right shoes on. He paying to bounce. He got to pay to bounce and get in the club.

No, but I'm saying you got to slide $40 and then you get to get in the club saying you got to slide him $40. Don't put me with mechanics. And then you get to get in the club. He got to slide. The club is free.

No, that's not true. The 101 is free. He got to pay the $100,000 to get into the club. I don't know. Yeah, he. Ah! You boy, you ain't shit. That is wrong.

Perhaps issue a one-on-one challenge? Do what I do. No, I just don't like the fact that you just throw yourself into a conversation that ain't got nothing to do with you. Rebecca Lobo, somebody. Shit, if I get that out of here. But it's all love, though, you know? I mean, like I said, man, I still do business with him,

but not that business. Well, what we got next? Thank you, Mr. B. I'm about to open up a. The floor is returned back. It's going to be a hot summer, because y'all already know I'm instigating everything. So.

This ain't got to do with that. What is that? I'm a gangster today. I'm a gangster for the Lord. This is for God. Swaggy has paid his tithes here in the arena. Dressed as a carrot. Humiliation ritual for all of us. A bit of a carrot, you know?

That's supposed to be like up. Yeah, a little bandana. It's supposed to be up, really, but... Carrot ganger, don't bat. They think we not playing basketball. We playing basketball around here. We got jerseys. Can you go get the jerseys?

He a gangster carrot. I'm sorry, I should have told you. In the back room. We about to start our two on two. We about to start our two on two. We about to start our two on two. Actually, actually, I got somebody you can play, Patrick. No, no, no, no, no.

Stop, stop. You still under 10k. Wait, what we trying to mess? You still under. Stop. Stop. You still under 10K. Wait, what we trying to miss? Hey, wait. Stop, man. You two niggas can whoop the shot. No road slander in the arena. I don't care about none of that, man.

Ain't nobody coming over here trying to Don King us. He going to beat you the fuck up. You think he going to let you go fuck that knee up? Is the score going to be 0-0? It's like watching the fucking, huh? He can't. It's like watching the Bulls in the goddamn. Everybody that's 25 and older is going to be the same.

Man, listen, man. Don't waste't waste our time with the 9 and under. I'm all post up. You think Lou Will going to be doing this shit? This ain't 9 and you. Hey, you going to be doing this? Huh? It could be like this. Hey, y'all going to have me getting this motherfucker

a little bit. Huh? Can you please stop pulling on the ears, Gil? Gil, you say you're going to get in what? The one on one. Well, we need to see. Who out there doing that? What you 101?

I'm trying to win motherfucker Yeah, yeah, so all right Yeah The guys that I called out are all guys who are retired Patrick is still an active player, so I don't know why Patrick is trying to get into this situation. So it's just for a retired player. Yeah, it's me, Jeff Teague. He has his own podcast.

He does numbers. Lou Will, he's on the show. He does numbers. And then Ty Lawson, because we have a connection with Oak Hill, and I just love, I mean, I played against these guys ten times. So I'm just going at guys that fit my lane And then here comes somebody just trying to just ram through it. I want to play I got a hundred K I play that market store and can then mark

I don't know where he at physically, but he might fuck you up too. So how many guys are you going to have playing? I have four right now. I have four legit NBA players that are playing for sure. Nick said he wants in, so that's five. No, no, no. Thank you. I'm on the other side. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just so we're clear, I know why he's mad, right? It's been four the whole time, and it seems like everybody actually tried to piggyback.

There's a red one. And then everybody has tried to piggyback off of this. Because they didn't know Ty, Lou Will, we've been having a conversation, having a conversation with T, having a conversation with Ty. So I guess everybody just thought that they can just jump on the idea and then just piggyback on it. And that's the real issue behind it. Yeah, Patrick was in our DMs

asking us to come play in his event. Who asked? When has it been his event the whole time? Who asked you? This is the arena. We are supportive of each other. We already have jerseys. We already have... Heyys. We already have.

Hey, can y'all look, just so we understand, like, we. He's trying to get at my white woman. Can we click? Y'all got the, can y'all see the outside court? That's why I want that. He's trying to get at my white woman. Yeah, can we put a. Wait, he's trying to get at my white woman.

I mean, just so y'all can see, we done. I did comment on the court being completely repainted. Yeah, we done, we've been preparing. We've been preparing for it. There's going to be some Adidas size and we're going to finish paint. But look, come on and back over here. Come back to Gil, please.

We have jerseys. Y'all thought it was only three jersey number options. No, no, no. Yours is what? See, we have added LeBron to the mix. That's blue. Yeah, this is blue. And then this is the Nick Young group.

That's my high school. 34 Young. That's his. And then, you know. And then I'm team purple. The Sparks. So basically, it's kind of like one player and one professional and one offset. Sparks color jersey. Sparks.

Sparks. Yeah. Sparks. Sparks. Then why do you have the purple jersey? For the Lakers. OK, well. Like my team, I got three jerseys. It's Kobe 8, obviously, Kobe 24, and Luka. So I'm 77. I noticed that you did not have 9 or 23 as a part of those

jersey numbers. That's not my favorite play. I was going to let you know. You went with those two. Sounds like you need some new favorite play. The fact that you didn't have 9 or 23 as a part of those jersey numbers. That's not my favorite play. I was going to let you know. You went with a little too. Sounds like you need some new favorite players. The fact that you didn't even try to catch it, that's the bad part. The fact, I don't know if y'all friends after this, Brandon. Yes.

So next Friday, we starting our two on two league to get ramped up. He ain't my friend. OK, this is, I just want to say. Like, he ain't my friend. We could do business, but he ain't my friend. Damn. this is, I just want to say. Like, he ain't my friend. We can do business, but he ain't my friend. Damn. You can't try to take my idea. Yeah.

That's the problem is the idea. Like, that's the biggest, that's the business disrespectful thing ever in business. You trying to take somebody's idea. I don't fuck with that, dog. But I can help you create your idea. You know, I got that one-on-one defensive league. First one to ten stops. Sponsored by Tough Proud, Patrick Beverly.

I think I sparked that one a little bit. I got you. Hey, I'll call you right after this one, dog. I sparked that one a little bit. No, I just think the problem is people just start dribbling in a defensive fit. It was just this open thing, and then people that were trying to take it and go with it and start their own stuff. I think I want to get 11 stops before you

score 11. That's what I said. All right, well, let's keep this thing moving. Back to some NBA basketball. As all those things are in motion, you heard Gil say Friday. That was still in the motion. It's Friday, two on two. But we playing them first. But we do our two.

You don't want to play me first. We do play you first. Are you sure? We have three teams because there's six of us on battle mode. And we got our teammates. It's Brandon and Maestro because he don't want to pass the ball. Me and B. Russ, Brian

Russell Jr. It's Nick and Simba. Yeah, you got Simba. You really want to play me first? That's who we got to play first because we got Famous Los and he picked Goldtrotter.

So y'all got to watch out. It's on. Wait, wait. You really want to play me first, Gil? I'm playing you first. It's on, dog. It's got Evan Barlett. He's a content creator.

So it's two content creators y'all playing first. Sweep! Who the fuck you talking to? I'm talking to you. You're going to play best out of three, right? Best out of three. Yeah, what do you say? Don't we do that every time in battle mode?

Yes. That's why I said sweep. Sweep who? You. You have the garden. All right. You can't fucking move, man. Stop, bro.

Speaking of sweeps, let's get to some playoff basketball. I'm bringing the refs. You got no fucking chance. I guarantee it. I guarantee you we call travel every time. And you have to some playoff basketball. I'm bringing the refs. You got no fucking chance. I guarantee it. I guarantee you we call travel every time. And you have to abide by the rules. You're going to have to pay me. You got to pay me to win.

That's on me and Madden. You got to pay me. We could put any amount of money on this. We could put $100 on this right now. I win. I bet you don't win. I bet you're going to kick the ball over to whatever. You're going to kick the ball.

You're going to quit. I bet $200 you quit. Facts. Bet $ to quit. I bet $200,000 you quit. Facts. I bet $1,000. I bet $1,000 you quit. Oh, my God. Easy money. Easy money, y'all.

So let's get to some playoff series predictions. He can beat me. It's crazy. Let's get to some playoff series predictions. Oh, wait. Hold on. Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

You're just trying to merely. Hey, man. Hollywood Unlocked, man. Listen. Can you take off the last name? It's not hers. Hmm? Gil, we do not know what you're referencing.

Do not want to know, honestly. What happened? Man, fucking Larson. Oh, God. Y'all there just... I'm gonna just be honest. It's just personal to me. Yeah. It should be honest. I have enough. It's just personal to me. Yeah.

It should be illegal. What? It should be illegal to pop that ass with a celebrity husband's last name when y'all divorce. Oh, yeah. There's too many songs about Pippin, yeah. Like, if you're married to someone that was famous, and then y'all get a divorce, and then your last name

is attached to his and his brand, and you allowed to go out there and pop ass because it doesn't affect you and your brand, but it hurts that brand. I think that's illegal. That should be illegal. Damn, she get a man that can do that. So basically what you're saying is when you get a divorce,

you should take your name back. It should be that. But it don't necessarily work like that. Why not? Well, who wants to keep they man last name, though? Because if it's famous, it's. Yeah. But a lot of people do.

But it doesn't necessarily work like that. Because sometimes when you get divorced, the woman goes and she's like, well, he can have everything, but I'm keeping the last name. And it depends on if the judge is like, you can keep the last name or you can't. Holy matrimony. But sometimes you keep the name too

because the kid's last name too. No, but that's the kid's last name. Yeah, that ain't your name. Oh, no. That's the kid's name. I'm just saying, sometimes they do that. I would be like, no. I would think that.

What's the other reason why they keep your name? You, you, you, non. Yeah, that, that, listen. You can pop pussy all day in your last name. The reason why they keep the name is because it was. Disrespect your parents. Yeah, I know that. What I'm saying is.

And you think you can use that name for your advantage. But that's the problem. If you're going to be out here just wiling on someone's last name who's been protecting his name. They've been protecting their, like, if you ever think about her if you've been protecting your name because it's you Grew up with the name and you've done this entity right go disrespect your father's name Nobody know you your father. They don't know you the child because you don't change your last name So your father sister and get the whoa No, go out there and mess up the you-not name.

Go fuck that name up. You're 100% correct. Pop pussy for everybody on the you-not's name. Not the Pippa's name, that motherfucker got, that kid is in the NBA. Yeah, that's crazy. And your mama out here running around from nigga to nigga, now come on, man,

don't do that to them kids. You're 100% correct. For real. That's how I look at it. Don't do it to those of your kids. And you are individually, by yourself, publicly, is the negativity on the last name. The father had a great reputation with the name.

Your son's got a great reputation with the name, trying to make a living for him. And the only negative is when your first name comes up because they attached the last name to it. No doubt. No doubt. I just... It's offensive. It should be against the law some kind of way. Yeah, that's how I look at it.

And Liv, if you are part of the business like the rest of some of these wives out here who got divorced and they conduct business just as... They're holding the name as precious as the person who they got it from. Juanita Jordans and stuff like that. Then, yes, fine. But if you out here are reckless, thinking, no, we're not doing that.

There's no way we should be knowing none of your business. We shouldn't be knowing you jumping from nigga to nigga to nigga. That's not... See, you going from nigga to nigga to nigga. That is the world we live in. You in here with another boo. Come on, man. That is scripture.

Now they going to ask your son in the middle of the fucking place, what do you think about this? You shouldn't have to deal with those fucking pressures, man. No, that's fact. No, no doubt. Because the son is hooping, too. No doubt. And the son is looking at him, man.

And the son finna get paid. And it's like, yo, go on, do something. He was just caught kissing somebody. You ain't lying the son's going to get paid. And it's like, yo, go on, do something. He was just caught kissing somebody. You ain't lying. It's going to be one of his teammates next. Let's keep it moving. It already happened.

Let's keep it moving. Unfortunately. Let's keep it moving. No, no, no. We're talking about why he's on the team. It already happened. No, it already happened. No, seriously.

But he was drafted to that team. But that's what I'm saying. Oh, that's this. That's. But I'm talking about while he's on the team. It don't matter, though. But the fact that that's if she's. It already happened. Yeah, that's... I'm talking about while he's on the team. It don't matter, though, but the fact that that's... It already happened, yeah. Gil's Arena, Easter egg hunts, one-on-one smoke,

coochie poppy. I'm sorry, I just looked, and I just looked, and it was on Hollywood Lock, so obviously she's like, that's... Damn, that's a moment. On Gil's Arena, we're talking NBA playoff series predictions. Let's start, of course, with the Lakers. Lakers earned the number three seed in the West face-off

against the sixth seed, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves. Good news for Lakers fans. There have been 78 championship teams in NBA history. 76 of those teams were seeded third or higher. So, let's go around. I already know who your pick is, but who wins the Lakers-Wolves series? I want to win or how many games

as we get the playoffs underway this weekend. Easter Sunday, 420. A lot of goodness going on in the world. I want to win her how many games as we get the playoffs underway this weekend. Easter Sunday, 420. A lot of goodness going on in the world. I'm scared, bro. I got the Lakers winning for sure. Thank you, Mr. Pitt. Wait, you asked me a question about the Lakers. I said I was not asking because I already knew the answer. Seven.

I'm going seven, probably. I'm going six. I'm going seven. Lakers in six. You said six? I want to say five, but... I hope you say five. Seven. Because you say six, I mean, where the fuck is Pat Beverly at? You say four, five, I fuck with you now.

Six, seven! Oh, you disrespectful. With Anthony Edwards out there? Anthony Edwards, who can guard him on our team? Who? Don't say Black and Mild. Don't say Vandal. Don't say nobody.

Nobody. Shout out Black and Mild. And they got that four spot that can guard LeBron. You got Julius Randle. You got Reeves. What I mean, whatever his nigga name. What's his name? Me, the shooter, the dreads.

I don't even know. They got a squad, bro. Who the fuck they got on that team? I don't know who got on that team. The six men of the year last year. They're the ones we was talking about. They got a squad, bro. Who the fuck they got on that team? I don't know who got on that team. The sixth man of the year last year. That's what I was talking about. Nas Reed.

Nas Reed. Yeah, Nas Reed. You know they, man. Reed. Brown not going up against no regular. I agree. There's Austin Reeves. I know, I know.

It's a process though. Chad Hologram. They could go suck though. You better help the Lakers win. They scrapped. That's what I'm saying. You too? I didn't say that.

What is opening in these things? I didn't say seven. Oh, y'all been drinking. Oh, y'all been what I'm saying. You too? I said seven. What is over there in these things? I said seven. Oh, y'all been drinking. Oh, y'all been drinking that shit right here. I said six, seven. Y'all been drinking that shit that's in here. OK. I said, uh.

All right, I see y'all all fucked up. OK. No, I didn't say it. But I just said you better win. Brandon, return to LeBron, Ken, dog. I mean, no. I got y'all winning. Return to LeBron, Ken, dog.

Not in a sufficient number of games. Jesus is not pleased. Five or six? He said seven. He said seven. Yeah, he's drunk. You got to be drunk. You don't think about it, bro. I thought about it.

Man, it's the worst matchup. I thought about it the day we got Luka. It's the worst matchup. The day we got Luka, I thought about it. It's going to be a sweep. Huh? No, NBA's not going to have that. But five.

Man, they still got to go out there and play. You know what I'm saying? Lakers. Man, they still got to go out there and play. You know what I'm saying? You still got to go out there and make it happen. Yeah. You can get all the calls you want. We're going to get all the calls. You got to get all the calls you want. We're going to get all of them.

But you still got to make shots. We're going to get all of them. So whoever guard, Luka, will be in foul trouble. The way Ant-Man said it, I ain't scared of no LeBron. He said that about Kyrie, too. Well, who is Luka going to guard? Watch how that happened. He did something.

Who is Luka going to guard? Conley. Because Luka don't guard. What's wrong with Conley? What's wrong with Conley? He's solid. No, I just asked who's Luka going to defend. Because Luka don't play defense.

The same person he defended last year when he was bop, bop, and bop, bop, bop, bop. Whoever he was guarding that series last year, when he was sittingop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. Whoever he was guarding that series last year, when he was sitting there yanking motherfuckers at the... Whoever he was guarding, he was going to guard the same person. Man, they going to go small. No, I'll give you five.

Really? Yeah. Why? Because he just said all that. No, no, no. I mean, they'll get... They had a different team last year. Kyrie was bopping their ass. They got LeBron James. They got LeBron James. They got LeBron James. Kyrie was going to work. Woo!

They got Kyrie. They got LeBron James. They got Alston Reed. We got LeBron. Kyrie, come on. Yeah. You think Ron want to sit up here and go seven with them? You might have to.

No. Not at 40. We're going to get this spot here. Thank you for that 40. And you got some young legs playing defense on you. Ain't no fucking tall, skinny body. Brother, brother, right here in the post. Right here in the post.

Brother, brother. Give me that. In the post against Julius Randle and Nas Reed? You're not posting him up. Man, Julius Randle ain't been good since the COVID. Are you crazy as hell? He's a. He was popping.

We heard anything about Julius was in the bubble when the face was gold. He said, man. LeBron not posting him up. I guess he thought the bubble crowd was actually the New York Knicks crowd. I guess he thought the Wusserden crowd, the sports crowd from the NBA Sound crowd, I think he thought that was the New York Knicks fans.

So he thought that was real and like, yeah, I love New York. You're so funny. Like brother. I understand character. I like this brother, uh. I understand character. I like this look on you. I'm going to start rocking them more. I didn't even realize you had the socks and the sandals. That was the last time he played free basketball

is during COVID when the fans were gone and it was all cheers. All right. Mad at me saying I can't be Black Jesus. I'm Luis. I'm Luis Scola. They say you can't be Black Jesus. There was a TV show, Black Jesus.

Why can't you be Black Jesus? Shout out Slick Johnson. Slick John, yes. Slick Johnson. Why are they saying you can't be Black Jesus. There was a TV show, Black Jesus. Why can't you be Black Jesus? Shout out Slick Johnson. Slick John, yeah, Slick Johnson. Why are they saying you can't be Black Jesus? You know, the chat hates me sometimes. That is the thing, though. You rocking the Black Jesus. Man, listen, y'all going to have to face it.

Over there drinking water and hater race. Y'all going to just, listen, I understand. Listen, listen, listen, listen. And I'm going to just speak to y'all. I know it is popular to hate LeBron James. Because I'm not. No, no, no, no, I'm just saying I get it. But who's hating LeBron? No, no, no, what I'm going to just speak to y'all. I know it is popular to hate LeBron James. Because I'm not. No, no, no, no. I'm just saying I get it.

But who's hating LeBron? No, no, no, what I'm just doing is everybody, I get it. Y'all don't like LeBron James. I get it. You talking about Stephen A. But fate is fate, OK? We got Luka here, all right? Once we got Luka, shit's done changed, OK?

Worst matchup. Everything has changed once we got Luka. I'm sorry. okay? Worst matchup. Everything has changed once we got Luca. I'm sorry. But this is a bad matchup. The script has been ripped. This is a bad matchup. We got Denzel on the card now. What changed?

Come on in. Oh, y'all got better with Luca. Yeah! We became the favorites. For sure. We got the favorites over here, too. Ooh! They got Jalen.

They got Alexander. What we're over here, too. Ooh. They got Jalen, they got Alexander, Buffer called it. Nikhil Alexander wanted Chase Cousins. You got the dude from New York that came from New York. His defense is horrible. Dante DiVincenzo. So we're going to play a game. We're just going to have you name play.

Hey, man, what spot are they in? Sixth inning. By two games, though. Don't act like it's by a lot, fool. Does not matter, two. They had their whole team the whole year. By two games, though. Don't act like it's by a lot, fool. Does not matter, two. They had their whole team the whole year. So we asked the chat. They had their team the whole year to be in six spots.

Actually, it's 50-50. 80% of the chat. Y'all have 49-50. 49-50. 80% of the chat. They had their whole team the whole year for that spot. Y'all, they in front of us. It's me, Nicky, and Luca.

It's not my chocolate, Lil. Flag, we asked the chat who they're taking in this series. For that spot. Y'all, they in front of us if we need to get Luka. Huh? My chocolate milk. We asked the chat who they're taking in this series. 80% of the chat has picked the Los Angeles Lakers, also known as the Lukas, Slovenian team. Luka Lakers. The Luka Lakers. But you got to say it in what, though? You got to say.

The Lakers in the game. The chat is refraining from naming a game. Five, six, or seven. We know we all going for the Lakers. Ah, man. I said I'm nervous, though. But Ron got to get his rest between the next series. So, Gil, you talked about Luka.

Timberwolves hard at work preparing to face the challenge of Luka. The Lakers preparing for the Timberwolves. Forgot. So, in related news, yesterday the Athletics, Yovan Buha reported that J.J. Redick said the Lakers used Shaq Milton and Bronny James as Anthony Edwards on their scout team, while the Wolves have been using Joe Ingles as Luka Doncic in their scouting groups. Okay, now say it one more time so the audience can actually understand the concept of what you're saying.

They're scouting each other, and then tell them who is the star that the other team has to play against. Go, say it again. Teams are scouting each other. The Lakers are using Shaq Milton and Bronny James to replicate Ant-Man. Okay. The Timberwolves using Joe Ingles to play the role of Luka Doncic in their scout preparation. Okay. Okay, now, now does, now does Allen Iverson's rant, or whatever y'all want to call it, does it sound respectable now? What?

Does it sound respectable now? What, you're talking about Ty Lue? Practice, are we talking about practice? That. Does that actually sound correct? Because when we're scouting, I think you need to understand what I'm saying. We're getting ready for Ant-Man, and they're using who as Ant-Man? Shake Milton and Bronwyn.

Two G League players. It's supposed to be Ant-Man, and then you expect the starting five to take this shit serious. To have them playing in one jersey, though. I'm what I'm saying is, as a star player, my backup who gets two minutes is supposed to prepare me for the superstar on the other end. And I'm supposed to take it.

I've always said, for certain positions, practice is pointless because you don't get nothing out of it. We're not in practice running my plays. We're in practice running team plays that we're not going to be doing in the game when I get mad. It depends, though. How many times we ran your play in practice and then we ran it in the game?

When I was there. No, when I was there. Who had to run it? Because I called off everybody else's play. I got in? No, when I was there. When I got in, you ran a play. Who had to run in? You ran a play. Because I called off everybody else's play. Yeah, I know. Fuck that play.

We're going to run this play. But that's what I'm saying. It depends on the player. Like, if you told me to act like Kobe in the game, in practice, I'd be out there. That makes sense. That's what I'm saying. That makes sense. I'd be out there trying my hardest.

But when Kobe's out there, you Kobe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the third option got to be. Yeah, yeah. So it don't, it ain't, these ain't, it ain't a thing for star players in practice because the people you got playing star players ain't even equipped to play on our team, let alone you got to be Shea Alexander. Come on, man. Joe Eagles.

Come on, man. Think about it. Everybody who play against Luka. Who the fuck is Luka? I mean, not Luka, but who the fuck is Jokic on our team? Huh? Who the fuck is Jokic? And I got to prepare for the fuck is Jokic and I got to prepare for you? Oh, you wonder why this nigga keep busting my ass because this is it he can't even be himself. That's what I thought you said

But people don't understand that they hate that but I play all hey play like what's his name? Oh Play like yonder First of all our starter don't even look like Giannis play Yeah, Giannis can even stop Giannis, but now our secondary got to be John Now he in practice over there doing long steps. Hey, go sit down, man. That shit going to look totally different in the game. You know what? Hey, Coach, I'm about to get some rest regarding the actual yacht.

Shout out to all the scout team members who embraced that role, though, and do the best they can. As a scout team member, trust me, being a star player, that is the funnest shit ever because it's the first time you get the green light to do whatever the fuck you want. You're not playing like them. You're playing like you. That's true.

Coach trying to get mad. No, I'm in, man, Coach. Remember, I'm in. I'm in. Can't get mad at me. You told me to be in. He out there playing one-on-one door crazy. Oh, no, we ain't used to that.

No, no, no. Yeah, no, no, no. No, we didn't. Because we had to play Joe Johnson, and we got to play Cole, and we got to play all them twos. And he'd be sitting there like, oh, I can't wait till you mother. Because it'd be the time for them to show

that they can really play. And we'd be saying some stupid shit. Nah, you got to play like Joe Johnson, man. Nah, don't be doing all that extra shit. You got to play just like Joe. You'd be like, Joe would never do that. We played against, who was it? When we had to play.

I used to get mad, man. You moving too fast. When it's just a regular shooter. You start adding your own shit to it. Damn, I can't believe the art code. JJ Redick. He playing, we playing JJ Redick, and he's supposed to be playing JJ Redick,

but he want to be himself with the ultra green light. Man, if you don't get the fuck out of here, man. He's doing spin moves. I'm not practicing. We're in the legs. He's sitting there with the – They get so mad. So we asked the chat, four options, Lakers in five, Lakers in six,

Lakers in seven, or Lakers in four. 52% said Lakers in five. 31% said Lakers in six. 11% said Lakers in five, Lakers in six, Lakers in seven, or Lakers in four. 52% said Lakers in five, 31% said Lakers in six, 11% said Lakers in seven, 6% Lakers in four. There were no other options. Let's shift it over to the Eastern Conference. Knicks and Pistons are set to face off in the three versus six matchup. Pistons are doing their best to ensure their tickets

are filled with their fans and not traveling New Yorkers. Here's a message that fans looking to purchase playoff tickets for the Detroit games in that series are receiving. To better serve local fans looking to attend the playoff games at Little Caesars Arena, pizza, pizza, the Detroit Pistons are restricting ticket sales to customers located in Michigan and in certain parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario, Canada as determined by the Pistons and subject to change. Oh, wow. I love that it's just certain parts.

Wow. Are you from that part of Indiana? No, you cannot get a ticket. Okay. So, you cool with the Pistons limiting the range of their playoff ticket sales to keep Knicks fans out? For real. Gil has blessed us fans out. For real. Gil has blessed us with smoke.

Playoffs. I feel like whatever advantage you can have. I'm cool with that in principle, but now if I'm just a business fan, I'm gonna get the tickets and just sling them. Cool. Yeah. Man, look, I'm gonna

just be honest with you. I think the road, the home team should do whatever the fuck they want to do. This the arena, right? If they don't want to let you and your family inside and put your ass in a nosebleed, like if I'm them, I'll leave you in a nosebleed. Yell from up there.

Yell from up there. I'm trying to win the series. I don't give a fuck what your problem is. You can be Patrick Beverly and pay $100,000 and try to sit front row, but we still going to put you in the fifth row. Where his ass belongs. I mean, shit, you're paying your own money.

We sitting up front row for free. Yeah, I wouldn't. If I was the owner, you're paying your own money. We sitting up front row for free. Well, yeah, I wouldn't. If I was an owner, you can't get no seats as an opposing below anything worth yelling. Yell your ass from the top if you're going to come in. But I'm trying to win the game, so I don't need you. I'm not even going to let your family in. Damn. Damn.

Damn. You know what? If some of y'all are family friendly, if some of y'all love y'all family, I would probably have the ball boy come say, fuck your family. Maybe because it might fuck you up before the game. And you sitting there like, my wife and kids can't come in the game.

So, you know, players start doing that shit before, well, I'm a family. You fucked up for the game. I win. My job is to try to get to the next series. No doubt. Fuck your ego. And then have a video of your kids outside.

Nah, bro. Have your kids outside sitting there mad at a motherfucker trying to get in, hitting your phone up. This is the playoffs. No doubt. So I pisses, do you? But why you got to do all that to win, though? That's crazy.

Kids? It's playoffs. You're traumatizing the kids. You're traumatizing the kids. It's the playoffs, man. You can't see a big ass security guard like, no, like, it fucked up for the rest of their life. Playoffs.

It happens. This ain't fair. This is the playoffs. You got two home games. Go do that shit two home games. You ain't coming here with them Knicks fans, man. Watch out. Man, that's just the case.

Them Knicks fans be traveling, too. They'll take over Arena. No, for sure. No, for sure. They'll take over Arena. Y'all see what they did to fucking Philly? I don't understand. Did you see what they did to Philly? For sure. No, that, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Some of y'all, they might fuck you up and you ain't playing. No, they ain't going to fuck a nigga up. I'm not playing because my. No, I mean, you might not be playing, like, real basketball. It might fuck you up like that. But no, because you ain't know.

It ain't the players' fault. You're going to be mad like, I'm going to show these motherfuckers. Some of y'all. Some of y'all got hardcore. I mean, some players are like that. But some players really be affected like that. Like, Nick, like, there's certain groups of fans that if you're a home team, don't allow them motherfuckers in it. Nick fans is one.

You don't want Nick fans. They trap, too. They do. There's New Yorkers in every city, and they take over Arena in Laker fans. Nah, they get their ass with me. Laker fans and New York fans, if you're the road team, keep them fans out. Nobody want to go to the... Divine Intervention. Shit, fucking the Boston fans to both of

fans so we asked the chat do you respect we asked the chat do you respect the pisses move to keep Knicks fans out 69% of the chat says yes they do we got winners so now that is the next point this is one three out of four in the regular season against the Knicks. Knicks win came all the way back on November 1st. Who wins this Knicks-Pistons series? How many games? Who wins the series?

How many games? I'm so ready for this. I already know. I already know the answer, but I want to hear what you guys have to say. Well, I'll be honest with you. I think this is Cade. I say Cade. Cade Cunningham. Cadingham.

Coming out. I think this is his coming out party. And I think the way Detroit's been playing this year, they've been playing, they've been, you know, together. They turned it around. You know, nobody really had Detroit, you know, being where they are now. And I just think it's their time.

You know, they've been in a slump for a minute, but I think they're going to get the Knicks out of here in seven. Or six. Mr. B, youicks out of here in seven or six. Mr. B, you say Pistons in six or seven. Let's move on to Cheryl. Cheryl, who do you got in this series? Bless you, Cheryl. Bless you.

Bless you. And I'm wearing my Cartier friends. I'm about to go buy some. All series long? That whole series. I agree. I love Kate Cunningham. I'm going to go Pistons in five.

Pistons in five. This will not appease Steve, our showrunner, a longtime Knicks fan. Had to suffer through the New York Yankees getting smacked by the Dodgers in the World Series. Now the couch rooting against his hometown team. I'm not rooting against them. Saying they're not going to win. Yeah, I am. I'm going Pistons. Moved to this side of the couch rooting against his hometown team. Saying they're not going to win. Yeah, I am. I'm going to Pistons. Moved to this side of the couch, Swaggy.

Who do you have next Pistons series and how many games? I ain't going to lie. I got the Pistons. I just feel like they tougher. Man, y'all speak to Steve be quiet. I don't feel like, I feel this is where they. Well, I created a league for you. As much as I hate me saying Julie's random name,

I feel like this is where they miss somebody that's like a bully. I don't feel like Cat gonna be tough enough for the pressure Detroit come with. He can't be out there asking for calls and shit, you know, doing the cat, you know. But, yeah. I thought it was a three. But that's the only thing. I feel like they could, outside of K doing what he's doing and putting up the numbers he does, they got some guys that can hit shots. You know, Tim Hardaway, Junior, he could, you know, get hot.

You got... And they just play bully ball, man. They tougher. So, Pistons, how many games, sir? I'd say seven. Pistons is seven. Let's move on. The Gilbert Arenas namesake of the show, always pays his tithes. I have...

Nick's... Mm. And... I wanna say five. I wanna say Nick's in five. Whatever, Steve. But they're gonna probably... They're gonna probably pull it, make it a six-game series.

But I'm thinking five, but I think Cade Cunningham is about to show he's a star. So it's not as, like, I think Cade is going to be, probably it's going to be him and Brunson as the lead dogs on this, but I think this is going to be a series where Cade himself is going to be flirting with a triple-double. He's going to be, like, he's going to be showing that he's him. But I think Knicks as a team is just going to win this series. Because Detroit don't know how to win yet. You know what?

They don't. Who is their second best player? I agree with that. Say that again? Please step to the mic, Steve. Tobias Harris. Tobias Harris? I got Knicks in four.

I got Knicks in four. I got Knicks in four. All the currency, all the credit. I got Knicks in two, but unfortunately, they still got to play two more games. Tobias Harris is their second best player. So the hype behind it, you think, is going to get down? No. I think they're going to play hard, but they're playing against a team who plays grimy basketball, too.

Right? So because Knicks do play grimy basketball, the shit that Detroit does, it doesn't affect them, but they got players who actually know how to play under that stressor. If Tobias Harris is your second best player in the league, Beasley, you got... If Tobias Harris... If Tobias Harris is your second best player...

Jaden Ivey, I don't know if you heard that. You really think that they have a chance against... Tobias is... Ain't Twinn over there? Jaden Ivey. Thompson, Twinn, right? Didn't he get hurt? I think he has returned. over there? Look. Jaden Ivey. The Thompson twin, right? Any of them?

Isn't Jaden, didn't he get hurt? Isn't he? I think he has returned. They're like, yeah, I don't know. They got some players. He has returned. Bro, they got some players over there, bro. Malik Beasley.

Talking about a sweep. I'm looking at the averages. Who averaged more besides? No, I don't think Detroit going out like that, dog. No, ain't no sweep. Very balanced scoring attack. Ain't no sweep, ain't no five. They ain't going out like that.

Very balanced scoring attack. The people. Because if I'm Isaiah Stewart, first player of the game, boom, I'm hitting right cat. Out. That's fine. They got Schroeder coming off the bench, too. Out. Dennis Schroeder.

If I'm Isaiah Stewart, I'm hitting cat right in his chest. And he's going to get out of the game. No, he ain't. No, he ain't. That's one foul. Schroeder could act like Brunson. Man, that's one foul. Schroeder could be Brunson.

You can't just kick him out because, hey, somebody came down the lane. Hey, you got foul. Hey, man, get up. I knew what I was going to do. It's playoff basketball. That's a hard foul. Right.

It's a hard foul. Go take the ball out. Hard foul. It's a hard foul for normal people. That one person is a technical foul. Well, listen, it's the playoffs. He's like a guy. It's the playoffs.

It's playoff basketball. It's the playoff basketball, dog. It's different now. You know what's so funny? It was playoff basketball when Draymond hit Steven Adamson in the nuts. That was playoff basketball until you did it against LeBron James and he kicked you out of the season. I mean, out of that series.

And it changed the whole series. Same one actually even left. The one, what I'm saying is, the one in Oklahoma's was a kick. A real kick. A dick kick, as they call it. He should have got hit then. But no, they waited and saved it for the right moment,

and it changed the actual series. One of them is LeBron. Yo, I can tell you that had no bearing on the series. LeBron was going to come back from 3-1 no matter what. Yeah. Hey, listen, hey. Well, what about LeBron just standing over the man? But what I'm saying is, if they won... That's crazy, listen. Hey. Well, what about LeBron just standing over the man with his nuts on his face?

But what I'm saying is, if they want to. That's crazy, too. So you can stand over me with my nuts in your face and you mad because I'm mad. I'm saying. He has a Ken doll. He can do what he wants. If they want to penalize you, they're

going to penalize you. That's what I'm saying. But why is that OK for LeBron to do that? Because this is LeBron James. What has Detroit Pistons done, and what are they complaining about? what are they complaining about? What are they complaining about this whole time? Detroit? Yeah.

Detroit? Y'all are not calling it fair. Y'all are not calling it fair against us. So all they can do is when they start playing rough, tough basketball, all they're going to do is just blow the whistle. Cade is going to get his calls because he's Cade. The rest of you are nobody to the ref. None of you guys have earned not

one whistle in this league. Nah, that's weak. What fucking basketball do y'all watch? That's weak, though. What basketball do you guys actually watch? So now we get to the playoffs. Now we nobody. The star players get their calls. The no nobody's don't well

if you're nobody during the regular season playing rough-and-tough basketball and you think you're gonna do that shit against Brunson Malik Beasley is not a nobody he's a nobody he's gone to Brunson he's not he's not Malik Beasley has been in the dog class his whole career besides the guard Tyrese Halliburton what the fuck does this guy do with Tyrese Halliburton. What the fuck does this guy do with Tally's high-rise? They whooped their ass last year. They had a team full of nobodies, motherfucker. Did Brunson do his thing?

He did his thing, but they still lost. Did Brunson do his thing? But he still lost. I'm asking you a question. They still lost, though. Did he do his thing? How did that shit work against it? This is all about the whistle. We have a person that we literally call the extender.

Why do we call him the extender? We act like this is real. We're acting like that's not a real thing. Come on. Are we not? Did we want to see Indiana and Boston last year? Or New York and Boston? Who is the extender?

So if we see him. I do remember in Nick's team losing a game seven in the garden. And who was the referees there? Whoever I placed there as Jesus. No, y'all just be pretending that it's not a. Don't the Knicks supposed to win that? I can do whatever I want.

And you can do whatever I want. Yeah. And you could do whatever you want to. Download the underdog app, use promo code GIL, get up to $1,000 in bonus cash plus a special ticket. That was good. You had what? Detroit in six? Mm-mm.

Swaggy, you said- Detroit in seven. I forgot. You said Pistons in seven. Pistons in seven. Did I argue yours? I let you say your shit and go. I'm arguing the fact that-

Don't argue mine. This is acting like it's a script. Like, they want to see what's right here. Brothers, brothers, brothers. Don't argue. Why you arguing mine? Because you said I'm not arguing your script. No, I'm arguing what I'm saying.

I didn't say nothing about the win. I'm arguing over the fact that you said your script. I'm sorry, because y'all love doing that shit. You guys make a point. I don't argue your. You said Detroit in seven. I didn't say shit. When I say mine, all you motherfuckers like to argue.

When I say mine, you said yours. I didn't say a motherfucking word around here, right? I'm arguing the fact that. If I say New York in 25, you should shut the fuck up like I shut the fuck up in yours. I didn't argue that. New York in three. I didn't argue your opinion. We didn't argue that. New York in three. He said seven. He gave his opinion. I didn't argue that. I didn't argue that. We didn't argue that. New York in three. No, we didn't argue your opinion. We didn't argue that.

New York in three. He said seven. He gave his opinion. I didn't argue that. I said cool. I didn't argue that. If I say if there's a script written on my part of it, goddammit, I would like the same fucking respect

that I gave you. I love you, though. OK? I respect all of you. Detroit is what? Detroit is seven. No, no. I got Nixon, too.

Why you came at me? We all argued, but you came at me. Nixon, too. got Nixon too. Why you came at me? We all arguing, but you came at me. Nixon too. We all arguing, but you came at me. I don't like that shit. No, no, you came at me. You don't want to argue. Let's get it off the chest here.

Let's get it off the chest here. Let's get it off the chest here. Why you come at me like that? Anybody said something, but you pointed to me with two hands. It's funny, because he got the carrot out there. Jesus said it. No. No, no, motherfucker. It's funny, because he got the carrot out there. You two handed me. That is not a carrot. Jesus said it. No. No, no, no.

Jesus. The ghost said it. Demon. She the ghost? You don't supposed to say shit with the ghost. Demon. Demon. Hey, demon.

She said LeBron. Demon. Demon. How you say it? Why LeBron get it? When the ghost say some shit, we just shut the fuck up, right? And you said, because it's LeBron. And Cheryl.

Whatever Cheryl said, we just. We didn't argue your. Y'all arguing with them Fitzhones is fucking crazy. Y'all gotta see how I'm gonna get this shit moving around, dog. Y'all pulling on the ears.

All I'm saying is we got a problem. Dude, we got a problem. It wasn't that you picked me. Blake, man. But you were talking about with, uh, uh,

damn, Detroit. When you were like, they ain't got nobody else, so they not gonna get any calls. That's where the argument was coming in. I just be saying shit sometimes. Oh, we know. If Tobias Harris is the second pick, Nixon too.

He hyped them up. He said, Tobias Harris? That was Steve. That's the name Steve threw out. Tobias Harris. Nixon too. I fed on him. I knew what he was doing. Yeah, yeah. This is teamwork, ladies and gentlemen. Let's understated. Somebody had to. Next to two. See, I fed on him. I knew what he was doing.

Yeah, yeah. This is teamwork, ladies and gentlemen. Let's keep it moving. Let's stay in the Easter conference. Yeah, but I think Katie is going to be probably. Katie's going to have a good series. She's going to have a good series. Shout out to Paige Cunningham, one of my favorite children.

Let's keep it moving. Easter conference. Bucks Pacers. There's more in the East? Bucks Pacers, Gil. We have Mr. B here, so we got to talk a little Milwaukee Bucks. Mr. Bucks and Six has graced us with his presence. God blessers, Gil. We have Mr. B here, so we got to talk a little Milwaukee Bucks. Mr. Bucks in six has graced us with his presence. God bless you, Brandon.

There's a positive update on Dame Lillard's status that Shams dropped this morning. Of course, Shams. Shams did it. Shams for the poor. Amazing. Milwaukee's Damian... You said amazing.

Hold on, that's some good news for us, y'all. Milwaukee's... In fact, he started with amazing. Milwaukee's Damian Lillard has been cleared of his deep vein thrombosis and is no longer on blood-thinning medication. Sources tell ESPN Lillard is out for game one Saturday against Indiana and will have a period of time to resume contact workouts and ramp up for return.

So Dame is on the mend. Playoff starts this weekend, Swaggy. Yup. Yup. I know what time it is. Playing is tomorrow. Playoff starts this weekend. Hellaggy. Yup. Yup. I know what time it is. Playing is tomorrow. Playoff starts this weekend. Hell yeah.

Game is on the man. Great news for the Bucs in the league overall. The Bucs will face the Pacers in the first round for the second straight season. As you may recall, last year, Giannis had a strained left calf causing him to miss all six games of the series, which the Pacers ended up winning. This year, they'll run it back without Dame for at least the beginning of the series. Giannis been on another level recently, averaging 32 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists per game in the month of April.

He leads the league in assists for the month, by the way. So, Mr. B, do you trust Giannis to carry the Bucs against the Pacers until Dame's return? Hell yeah. What? You see the way Giannis has been playing the last couple of games before the playoffs had started? I mean, we got Bobby back. We got Kevin Porter Jr.

He's been playing great for us, which is a great addition. Oh, my God. Diary Bird, he's coming off hitting threes. Dane probably set out game one, probably come back game three because, what, we're at, at what the fifth or the sixth spot? Where we are? We're what? Well, we're fighting for advantage. No home court. No. No. No. No. So yeah, I wrote a business first

I think Damon make his first appearance back in Milwaukee Last year, you know, we wasn't healthy against these clowns. That game would be Friday, April 25th, a week from tomorrow, game three. Yeah, yeah. I got my bet with some of the dudes from Club 520. So, yeah, this is a personal first round for me. We are definitely going to get these guys out of here in six or five.

Mr. B, you already moved on. I mean, five or six. I mean, well, we have the best player in the NBA playing on our team. The best player in the National Basketball Association, I believe, is Giannis Antetokounmpo. Yeah, and he already moved on. I mean, I'm five or six. I mean, well, we have the best player in the NBA playing on our team. The best player in the National Basketball Association, I believe, is Giannis Antetokounmpo. Yeah, and he's been playing like it. So, you know, last year we wasn't healthy. Now that we're healthy, it's on.

It's on. Cheryl, do you agree with – And flirt. Ooh. I'm there with you. And especially if Dame – I think Dame misses game one. I think he comes back game two. I'm there with you and especially if Dame I Think Dave misses game one. I think he comes back game two and if Dame is

Healthy, I don't know if I'm gonna say honest the best in the NBA, but I do love the honest game But game two would be next Tuesday I'm gonna say fuck Mmm in five bucks in five sure. Oh, that's what I'm talking about, girl. Yeah. 414, you heard that. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Now let's shift over to this side of the couch. Come on, Doc. I ain't gonna lie.

I got him sweet, low key. Who do you believe is sweet? I hate to say it, Milwaukee. To me, your cousins is in New Jersey. I knowop? I hate to say it, Milwaukee. Mm. To me, your cousins is in New York. I know. That's why I like fucking with Milwaukee. Swaggy, your family has been looking for you in Milwaukee

for a long time. They said, pull up. You don't hear from them. Every time I go back. They gotta find me. Every time I go back, they be like, Nick don't love us. He don't love us. Well, let it be known then, goddammit.

I'll be like, bro, chill. He all right, bro. Keep chilling. Yeah, man. They still lookingdammit. I'll be like, bro, chill. You're all right, bro. Keep chilling. Yeah, man. They still looking for me. I've been looking for them. Look at my. No, but I got Milwaukee.

I got Milwaukee. It's sweet. It's sweet. Clean, sweet. Could be. Clean, sweet. I think it's revenge for last year, you know? Sir.

Yeah. For sure. Giannis was hurt. They and Highland Bird was out there dancing on them motherfuckers. You know, for sure. Giannis was hurt. Highland Bird was out there dancing on them motherfuckers. They was out there clowning on them and shit. Highland Bird. So, Gil, how about yourself?

Do you believe in this Milwaukee Bucks squad? Can Giannis hold down the fort until Damian Lillard's return from a deep vein thrombosis in his calf? First game, 10 AM. That's specific. So, 1 PM on the East Coast. 1 PM. And that's practice. So, that's practice time. So, we know Giannis is like crazy. So, he'll be up. I'm thinking about, cuz it's your natural body. So if your natural body used to go to sleep at one, goddammit, you're gonna be trying to go to sleep.

One o'clock games is kinda like the worst for NBA players. Yeah, that's true. Good and bad, good and bad. But it still don't matter. You gonna have to do. I like the Bucks. I just don't think Indiana's know what I have to do? Like, I like the Bucs. I just don't think Indiana's going to be an easy pushover because even their last, like, four of their last five games

was Cleveland twice, even though it was the last game. But they did beat Denver. So they beat Denver and Cleveland towards the end of the season. So they're going in with some great momentum. I think Milwaukee's right on the five game. Eight game winning figure from them, I'm second. With Giannis playing crazy? Yeah.

It'd be a good, I mean, it's, I'll. I like the other guys right now. Kuzma. This might go down to fucking, I mean, this might go down to center. No. I think this is a seven game series. No, no. I don't know why we keep forgetting to mention Kuzma. This might go down to fucking, I mean, this might go down to seven. No. I think this is a seven-game series. No, I don't know why we keep forgetting to mention Kuzma. I forgot.

Kuzma's going to be a big factor in this. Six, seven, six, seven, and I'll give it to Bucks. I still like Bucks in it, but I think this is going to be like one of those good series. Because it all depends on Dame. Like, I think Dame is going to be like a game three. I think game three is when

you will want him back. Right? If you go up there, Indiana, you split, you're going to try to hold him off. so if Bucks get a win,

if Bucks get a win, I don't think Dame comes back for game two. No, he waits till game three. Uh, he'll wait till game three. And let's just say,

if they go down, so we got to win. No, he waits until game three. He'll wait until game three. And let's just say. If they go down. Too old. So we got to win the first game. No, no. If they go split, if they go split, I think they come home without Dame. For game three. And if they lose that game, he'll be for game four. If they win, I think he don't come back until game five.

So if they go up 2-0, if they win the first two games against the Pacers, they win the first two games. If they win the first two games against the Pacers, they win the first two games in Indiana. If they win the first two games against Indiana. Basically, you just save Dame until you really need them. You're just holding them off

or ramping them up. The only time you bring Dame back is if you go down 0-2, then you're going to try to bring back all your firepower. So... Well, if they win the first two

at Indiana... If they win the first two games at Indiana, you probably won't see... You won't see Dame this series. I hope I see him at church. He'll probably come in like game... Indiana and they win the first two games in Indiana. You probably won't see you won't see Dame This series hope I see him at church. He'll probably come in like games like if they go up 3-0 He'll probably come in for game four to try to get some type of rhythm like they did

They made me dress up like black Jesus I'm gonna play the part You said I can't get my check unless I dress up like Black Jesus, I'm going to play the part. Yeah, yeah. I like it, though. Gil said I can't get my check unless I dress up like Black Jesus. I like it. Let's move on to the Western Conference. Four or five matchup. Clippers-Nuggets. Clippers won eight in a row to end the season facing a Nuggets team that fired their

head coach and general manager with three games left in the regular season. David Alderman has taken over as the interim head coach there. Team split their season series, but Kawhi did not play in any of those games. Who wins the Nuggets Clippers series and in how many games? Clippers Nuggets? I got Clippers in six. Kawhi Leonard.

Like I said, Kawhi did not play in any of the regular season games. Kawhi Leonard's healthy, he in the playoffs. Well, somebody just asked me this the other day. Kawhi Leonard or Jimmy Butler when it comes to the playoffs? Well, Kawhi's been out for a minute. Kawhi got it done. But based on what you just said. Kawhi got it done.

I understand Kawhi, I know. Playoff Kawhi, I know. I know, I know. Playoff Kawhi is different, too. He is different. But Jimmy playoff is different, too, though. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He'll take nothing to the championship. Yeah. Nothing to, yeah.

But in this series right here with Denver, I mean, we'll go back to that. But with this series with Denver, man, I think Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, I love the way James Harden's been playing. They're playing well. I like the way Kawhi's been playing. It's just that big. I don't know if he got to stay out of trouble against Jokic. But man, I just like Kawhi Leonard and James Harden right now.

Playing well. So I got Clippers in six or seven. Six or seven. That's my goal. Shift over to the GOAT. Cheryl Swoops. I know Denver got a lot of shit going on right now. But I think they're going to use that as motivation. I'm going Denver in six.

Okay. Cheryl Swoops, Nuggets in six. Not bad either. Gonna use the motivation of Mike Malone being fired, Calvin Booth also getting dismissed. I didn't think about that either. Man, I'm gonna go Clippers in seven. I'm gonna go Clippers in seven. Just cuz I seen, what's his name, Michael, what's his name, Michael P. Michael Porter Jr. Michael Porter Jr.

Michael Porter Jr. OK. He didn't get invited to the dinner. It was like a team dinner. That was a fake story that went out. They said that there was a dinner. It didn't really happen. MPJ was confused when they asked him about it

because that dinner did not happen. It happened. They just want to. It happened. Maybe it did. They just want to. He said, what? It happened.

We just playing. We just playing. It was fake. We didn't go to dinner. what? We just playing. We just playing. It was fake. We didn't go to dinner. What? We didn't go to dinner without you? So they all messed up. So it was good.

Please. You know? We know they went to dinner. For sure. Already asked. Eggs. Got to be in a container. Nashville steak dinner.

So yeah, it's a lot of, you know. I don't think he feel like he going to be able to contain. Man, that's a little steak dinner. So, yeah, it's a lot of, you know, I don't think he feel like he going to be there next year. He probably the next to go. I don't know. So. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Clippers in seven, you said?

Yeah. All right, so Gil, how about yourself? And I hate to speak these words, but I do have, I did buy two Kawhi Leonard jerseys. No problem with that. I ordered one, then forgot I ordered it and then ordered another one. Right. So I got two of them now. Kawhi, one of my favorite children.

I'm going to go Clippers. I'm going to go five. Clippers and five. Damn. So we've got the series picks, but let's get back to a topic you brought up, Mr. B. Playoffs, Kawhi Leonard or playoff Jimmy? Can we ask that too? Who do you have more faith in?

Let's ask the chat. Have more faith in? No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, I was going to say faith. No, no. Faith in me is important, Mr. B. No, listen, they're both healthy. They're both healthy, and they got their team.

They're both healthy, and they're in the playoffs, and they got to take their team to the – Yes, you can. No, I mean – Kawhi had way better teams. I'm going Kawhi. He had Spurs. Come on, man.

Come on. He did. Okay, just put them on any team. I'm just saying. Come on, man. He did. Come on. He did. Okay, just put him on any team. I'm just saying. Just what they do. No, just put him on any team. Put him on that Heat team.

Do they get to the finals? I don't know. I don't know. I didn't say that. I don't know, but I've seen Jimmy Butler get that Heat team to the finals twice. And the team that he came on with Toronto been making the Eastwood Conference finals. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but that Spurs run is crazy.

He was telling Tim, come on, man. I got y'all But still it's team. I'll be LeBron. I'll leave I mean LeBron in the finals at 25 With Tony you the team you did that huh? No finals MVP. That was it was finals 14 huh? Finals MVP at the end of day when I came in there I'm right here like this right I'm right here like this I'm doing both ends and I scored 28 against you that's fine That's fine, but they gave me finals MVP at a young age at a young age Don't use it like this don't use it like what you can't use him

But you can't use it like that Like if you're gonna use finals MVP let the stats man, he averaged like when he won it in Toronto. He averaged 30. OK, finals MVP. So why do you think he won it? When? But everybody wins against LeBron. Everybody who beats LeBron, whoever's guarding him,

gets it. Understandable. Right, you know, like, I just. That's what we doing now. That's what we doing. All right. That's what we doing. All right.

That's what we doing now. Well, they get it. That's what we doing. He averaged 14. That's what we doing. All right. That's what we doing. All right. That's what we doing now That's what we doing. Yeah That's what we doing now 14. I saw LeBron James at the free throw line. Damn he checking in again He wasn't right. He was scared of that young boy. I'm 53% from the field the best in The best percentage in the playoff, that's fine, but you love you rate his rating was number percentage in the playoffs. That's fine, but you lost. His rating was number one in the playoffs. All right. Kawhi was how old?

22. Kawhi Leonard was 22 years old. They gave the job to a 22-year-old to go out there and stop that monster. But he had braids. He had braids. They gave a 22-year-old on his rookie deal to go out there and stop that monster. Stop playing. Like, that's not the impressive.

Impressive is being on one. That is impressive. He on his rookie deal. For me, and stop that monster. Stop playing. Like that's not the impression. Impressive is... Stop. That is impressive. He on his rookie deal. For me, that's not impressive. Impressive is you have, you're on one leg. You can't even play back-to-backs. You averaged 30 in nine in Toronto. That's impressive. That's impressive to me. You was hurt. You hurt this season. Can't even play back-to-backs. You dominated the playoffs. This wasn't like you played.

This is not you played against us. You dominated from fucking game one to the last game. You was literally the best player. He went through Giannis. He went through Embiid. He went through Steph. Second, third. Game winner.

Like, that is. Yeah, that's third. Game winner. Like, that's like, that is. Yeah, that's cold. That's cold. That's cold. Man, every time Kawhi Leonard's in the playoffs. Every time Kawhi Leonard's in the postseason, it's impressive. Well, no. I mean, yes, since he's been on his own. Shit, Zaza over there, he got to step on his foot to stop the Spurs from beating that Golden State team.

That Golden State team was out of there. They were down 20. Yeah, they was out of there. They were out of there. That's what I'm saying. That young dude is on – that boy is on a mission every time. His finals, like, it's impressive. It's tough, though, because his teams are good.

Oh, he averaged 20. He averaged 30. Man, that Toronto team was shook. They ain't know. He came over there and said, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, he have his 20... He have his 30... Man, that Toronto team was shook. They ain't know. He came over there and said... Yeah, I'll do this. I'm out of here. Paying these damn taxes.

I didn't even want to be here. Toronto a fine city? Let me get y'all a ring and let me get the hell out of here. I ain't like it. They was gone. I would have left Toronto for L.A. too, though. They mad because they over here pouting because they got rid of DeRozan.

Man, we got Kawhi dog. I'm going to give you one and then I'm going to get up out of here too. They wasn't pouting. They was pouting. They was sad. They didn't look sad when they was winning. They were upset that they got rid of DeRozan. Yeah, because that dude from LA that came over there was over there.

He was like, I got y'all. Don't worry about it. I got you. And another thing, KD was out of there too, though. He hurt his knee. That's a good reason why they kind of won, too. No, Braun left that. No, didn't Braun leave the East that year?

He went to LA. Took his talents to Westwood. That's the same year. And KD came back. They forced him back, and that's when he got hurt. Took his talents to Westwood. So put a bubble over that ring, too? Nah., and that's when he got hurt. Yeah. Took his talents westward. So put a bubble over that ring too? Nah.

I mean, the ring don't matter. What he did in there, no matter what, KD here or not, he was balling on one leg. Period. I mean, you can't take that away. For sure. Now let's move on to Mostly Fans presented by Underdog. Download the app. Use promo code GIL.

Get up to $1,000 in bonus cash plus a special pick. Sheryl, I'm just doing this for you. I appreciate you. I appreciate you. Did that one year mess everything up, though? Because he ain't been the same since. Whatever happened in Spurs. Yeah.

Whatever happened to Kawhi, it happened in the Spurs. That's why he started bringing his own people. Patrick. Whatever happened in the Spurs, and that's why I said he became a Hall of Famer, even with being injured. That's why I said, you know, the finals the finals MVP at 22. Yeah, that's cool But you know, it's not like you dominate you you dominated the playoffs on one leg when you went to Toronto Like one league like you didn't play no back-to-back you was missing games and went into the playoff

Fuck them people up the game So even every playoff he's played in, he actually dominated that game. Yeah, for sure. Oh, God, yeah. Like, he might have, he might not play tomorrow, but tonight he got 36. Sure. Yeah.

Gil, your phone is falling. And a crack in the couch. Oh, my God. We'll pray for a safe return back to you. We have a question from Underdog Guser. King Rio the first. What up, Dogg? Gil Zerina. a safe return back to you. We have a question from underdog user KingRioTheFirst. What up, Dogels Arena? Quick question.

I just want to know where y'all think is the best fit for Trae Young, because it's obviously over for him in Atlanta. They're not going to do anything. They're not bringing anyone in. Personally, I think he would be great alongside Ant-Man in Minnesota. What y'all think?

Shout out to King Ryo the first. Blessings to you. What's the best place for Trae Young to go? Best landing spot for Trae? Trae Young now? Yeah. I still like the Spurs for him. Orlando.

Fox. Orlando. I still like the Spurs for Trae Young. Orlando. Ooh. Orlando. Crash out on him, Mr. B. I like the Spurs for Trae Young. Orlando. Orlando. Crash out on them, Mr. B. I like the Spurs.

You like where? I like the Spurs for Trae Young. I mean, I don't care. It's not going to happen. What? They got Fox and Castle. Somebody got to go. We're talking about like.

No, no. I'm just saying. But his game and what he brings to the table, he would be perfect to play with Wimby. He's a passer. They could have got him. They could have got him. They could have got him. That would have been like last year before that happened,

that would have been ideal. So like right now? So you wouldn't trade Fox right now for Trey Young? No. Hmm. I know. I mean, they're not. Hmm.

Orlando needs Trey. Like, you got three seven-footers. He's not I mean, they're not. Hmm. Orlando needs straight. Like you got two, you got three seven footers. He not going nowhere, man. This is, he going to be in the same position he is in Atlanta, bro. He needs to play with a star. Somebody that's going to be on TV all the time. Benchero and Waddle. Benchero is a star.

Okay. What? Benchero not a star? Yeah. He's a superstar? Who's a superstar over there? Wimby's not a superstar? Yeah, he could be.

Man, Wimby's a superstar? Who's a superstar over there? Wimby's not a superstar? Yeah, he could be. Man, Wimby's a superstar. Wimby is prime. Wimby is must-see TV. Trey Young is must-see TV. But it's his game.

His game is must-see TV. Just like Trey Young, must-see TV. We talking about Trey. Like, Trey Young plays with... What? He playing... He's over there played he's over there He's over there hurt him doing a pick and roll and when we pop and when when B starts diving for Being on fire. That's why that's why what's the name makes more sense Fox because he's played with Sabonis

Sabonis does a pick a pop one to shoot threes Trey young needs a pop Apollo Benchero who's gonna attack the basket Yeah, he's gonna die. He's going to dive. He's going to do all of that. So that makes more – for his game, that makes more sense. Wimby don't have no reason to dive because nobody can throw the lob. Can he be a part of this Phoenix? He can go to Dallas. Can he be about this Phoenix rebuild? No.

Dallas? No. Trae Young needs to be in a situation where – You want to train up for Bradley Bill? Will Bradley Bill allow himself to be trained up situation where he can go win. Where he can, I don't mind Dallas either. Dallas is good too. Who? No, not Houston.

No, I'm saying Houston. They're too tough over there. Huh? They're too tough over there. Who needs to, like, which big man that sits there? I mean. I don't think the coach will let him shoot them shots. He said Miami.

I got you. With Tyler Herro and Bam. Clippers. Shit, bring him to the Lakers. Nah. I'm not getting rid of James. No, James. Move, James.

We got Luka. We good. Nah. We good. James two ball dominant together. Yes, with the Clippers. And then Kawhi Leonard need the ball. Nah. We good. Him and James two ball dominant together. Yes. Yes, with the Clippers. And then Kawhi Leonard need the ball. Nah.

I like Miami. I like Miami and I like San Antonio. Florida is just perfect for them. I know we're perfect, but they already got a guard. Milwaukee? Yeah, for sure. Because that shit ain't working. This is as far as they going to go.

Hell yeah. I'll trade. Hell yeah. Trade Young for Dame Little. I'll do that. He's younger, right? I'll do that because he's younger and yeah. No, no, for sure.

Like we're talking business. Listen, listen, Dame, I get it. You top 75. I get it, baby. But listen, this young boy right here. Him and Giannis. This young boy right here is different. And you different, too. And you different, too.

Don't get me. I love the name time. His style of play. He knows how to get foul. And he does get to the basket a lot. Floaters, mid-rangers. It's going to be. You know what I mean?

He ain't going to sit back there and shoot like six threes in a row. No, I get it. He's going to play inside. It's business. Yeah, it's going to be, you know what I mean? He ain't going to sit back there and shoot like six threes in a row. No, I get it. He's going to play inside out. Yeah, it's business, but it also depends on what we do this year. Like, what's the future? Like, what's it like?

Like, like, like. And Trey is younger. Because you know Giannis, he over there looking like, all right, now what we doing now? Like, you know, like what we? Let's move on to our. We hurt for the playoffs the last three years. Let's move on to our next question from underdog user Bradley one two, three four five

Thank You Bradley for this question of all the teams in the West you think the Warriors have the easiest path to the finals Of all the teams in the West of the Warriors have the easiest matters. That is a question from Bradley12345. Who do they play? I was about to say, who are they playing? Houston, then who? Houston, then the Lakers. Wait, who? I don't think they have, do the Warriors have the easiest path? Yeah, they got the easiest road to the path. Just wait, just let me know when they get there.

Wait and see, brother. Wait, who? Houston, then the Lakers. Warriors, do the Warriors got the easiest? No, it said, do the Warriors have the easiest path? To the final. I don't know what that means. Hell no, that Houston series is path to the final. I don't know that Houston that here's sincere is going to be crazy. That's not to be them young boys.

They finish this the coach that he ain't him and stuff. Just had a little issue. Yeah. And twin. Oh, I like twin over there. We're hoping we're hoping over there. I can't give it? Steph had three points? One for 10, three for 10.

He ain't going to do that again. But just think about the confidence you coming in as a young man. Just being able to frustrate him. Yeah, just being able to frustrate him. Bradley, please change your ATM code and email password. Producers want me to know. It can go.

Let you know. Be honest. It can either be the Lakers or the Nuggets.
