Gil's Arena - Gil's Arena Breaks Down The Celtics 2-0 NBA Finals Lead

Episode Date: June 10, 2024

Gil's Arena Breaks Down The Boston Celtics 2-0 Lead in The NBA Finals as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Celtics taking the first 2 games of the NBA Finals and break down how this team is seemingly doing all the right things to take a commanding lead in the series. They discuss how the standout play from Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis ahas shifted the series in Boston's favor and debate if Jayson Tatum is doing enough to still be the team's best player over Jaylen Brown despite not scoring above 20 points in Games 1 & 2. They then analyze the Dallas Mavericks side of the series and discuss what adjustments the team needs to make to get Luka Doncic some more help offensively and finally get Kyrie Irving to wake up and contribute meaningful minutes. Finally, they give their HOSTILE takes on Caitlin Clark being left off of Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics before revisiting the Lakers vacancy at head coach by reacting to Dan Hurley turning down the job to return to UConn.

Funerals and weddings, like, it's two here and here for me, right? So I've been selective on the ones I've attended. Either or?

Don't you wanna make sure this is the right man for you? Get all this shit out of his system. I said, what y'all do to test your husband. Don't you want to make sure this is the right man for you?

Because I had left. I was throwing a, yeah, I was throwing a bachelor. You wanted to throw me a party at the house. I was throwing a bachelor party for somebody else. At his house. At his house. Right. Sweet.

And let's just say, to this day, every male male that showed up that was the best time of their life. One of them Hey, they was in the closet on it ain't a we we filling up this room with the closet, bathroom, bathroom The closet all the clothes fell, you know, there's in the closet doing something crazy. Hanging out in the clothes rack. Man. I was like, hey, let's make sure. This is the bachelor party. Everybody remember. Everybody had fun. Man.

It is a Monday in Gil's arena, as you might expect. We have a lot of things to talk about. Anything else would be uncivilized. Right? Man. That was crazy. I remember that, yeah. Well, let's keep this thing moving.

Get into some actual basketball. Can I borrow your house? Can I borrow your house? Can I borrow your house for a couple of hours? You said yeah. Him. It's a little party. It's just a little party. A couple of friends.

I'm going to invite a couple of friends over at your house, and you said okay. I was supposed to stay, though, and be involved, but, you know. He wasn't, boy. I had left, you know. wasn't boy i had left you know because you was using a relationship was you in a relationship a little bit a little bit all right so i would have ended it quick so the parents olympics just a few months away the team usa women's squad announced a 12 women roster that will compete for an eighth straight gold medal so amongst the team is asia wilson brianna stew, Diana Taurasi, Brittany Griner, Alyssa

Thomas, Nafisa Collier, Jewel Lloyd, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Sabrina Inescu, Chelsea Gray and Kalia Copper. One name who isn't on the list is Fever rookie, Kaylin Clark. So Clark being left off the team was met with mixed reactions with some pointing out she didn't deserve to be on the team to begin with because she's not in that top 12. And others criticizing selection committee for missing out on an opportunity to help market and promote the squad given obviously the Kaitlyn Clark effect that we all talk about, increased viewership, arenas getting sold out and all that good stuff. So Clark was asked about being left off the team

and had this to say. I'm excited for the girls that are on the team. I know it's the most competitive team in the world, and I know it could have gone either way of me being on the team being not being on the team. So, you know, I'm excited for them. I'm going to be rooting them on to win gold. I was a kid that grew up watching the Olympics. So, yeah, it'll be fun to watch them.

What was your level of disappointment not having your name on their roster honestly no disappointment like i think it just gives you something something to work for um you know that's a dream you know hopefully one day i can be there and i think it's just a little more motivation uh you remember that and um you know hopefully in four years when four years comes back around you know i can be there did you have a direct conversation with managing director of others or with their USAB recently? Yeah. Yeah. They called me and let me know before everything came out, which was, you know, really respectful of them. And I appreciated that. And they did the same for every girl that made the

team or every girl that, um, didn't make the team. You know, there's a lot of players in the Olympic pool. So, uh, it wasn't like I was the only one they had to call. They had to make quite a few calls. What's better than a well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue?

that over-deliver. Handling it very well. So according to a report from Christine Brennan of USA Today, two sources indicated that there was concern over how Clark's fans would react to her not getting much playing time in The Olympics so I got to ask you gentlemen the Team USA make the right decision leaving Kaitlyn Clark off the Olympic roster. No You think it was the wrong decision? Why do you think it was the wrong decision? well for me, I think don't they always like bring in like the like the top rookie always make like a Olympic team like from Christian Leitner to... So Team USA that year in 92 they had to have one

spot for a college player. I think it was between Shaq and Christian Lehner. Lehner obviously a senior at that point player of the year got the nod over Shaq. The one with the one who was more popular. Yeah. He was a little popular. I mean yeah the Duke the Duke thing but also just the optics of it. He was a graduating senior. The optics? The optics? Okay.

So we're... You get it. So the optics, the one with the bigger name. Yeah. Okay. Got it? Okay. Sounds...

What are you getting at, Mr. Arenas? So have they did it on the women's side? I don't know. I didn't know. That's what I'm asking. There's some things. So we're talking about women's basketball, and we can't compare them to the men. Well, they like to compare themselves. But in this situation, we cannot.

It's the WNBA. Have they done it before? WNBA NBA. Have they done it before? That go by they... Have they... I'm asking you a simple question, dog. I don't know.

I never watched it. Have they... I never watched the WNBA. Have they done... I never watched the WNBA. We don't... Who knows? So, therefore... I know. They said a couple... Have they done have they had the WNBA? We don't know who knows so well So I think for I know they said a couple

So we have researchers here. So have they done it before? Yeah, I think she made I think she was also snubbed from a squad when he was enough from a squad from the coach You know hurry me. So how was so have they done it before a real I'm asking. Yeah, I think they've done a rookie before. A rookie? Yeah, I think so. Okay. 2000. We're-

I don't want to be one of those- Well, either way it goes. So let me ask you. So who was she supposed to be or make the team over, Nick? Don't- But I'm just saying, you guys. So I'm finna read the years experience

that these girls had, right? But still, you need to have- Seven years, eight years, five years, seven years, 11 years, 10 years, 20 years, eleven years, ten years, twenty years, nine years, six years, eleven years, six years, nine years of experience playing in the WNBA. Is this the only first time playing in the Olympics?

No. So, somebody could have been left out. So, therefore, of the girls' experience, the one with the least is Sabrina. Sabrina has five years. Sabrina has five years. I didn't go with her anyway. Sabrina has five years.

So, Kenyon, to answer your question, rookies have been on the Olympic team before. Of course. Rebecca Lobo in college. No, I'm talking about the college player. Yeah, but Rebecca Lobo and not rookies. But no, rookies have come to college, like incoming player. Yeah, yeah, so the rookies. But she already is there.

She's already there, but Chris Lagnall wasn't in the league yet. He was not. That's what I'm saying. There's two different situations. Remember, the season starts. But they had to have a college spot on there. They had to. They don't force them to have that guy. No, because here's a rookie, so if they try to do

a college player, that college probably would be a junior being a senior. At that point. But my thing is, with the years experience, the one with the least is Sabrina. Mm-hmm. Is she better than Sabrina? No. At this point, no.

At this point. That's what I'm asking. So with the one with the least experience is Sabrina. Was we ever talking about Sabrina and all of them before this? Yes. We was talking about the Olympic team. We talked about the last Olympic team. Anybody.

Sabrina more than likely made that one. Anybody care about who got snubbed on the last Olympic team? Sabrina more than likely made that one. Okay. We was talking about the Olympic team. We talked about the last Olympic team. Anybody. Sabrina more than likely made that one. Anybody care about who got snubbed on the last Olympic team? Okay, this is... The problem is this. Bring this code. Is she better than anyone on the team? No. She's more popular, yeah. Right? She's more popular. Absolutely.

And the thing is this. What is your goal as women basketball players? What is the actual goal here? Like, if the goal is to win gold, to be honest, you guys lost one game since you guys have ever been in the Olympics. All right? And that was in the championship. So let's not throw that in there.

Gold is yours. Everyone knows that. Right? You're going to spank everybody by 65, 40, 30. So when you're saying whoever's on that bench, right, all of those star players on that bench, there's going to be some that don't play, right? Yeah, and there might be a chance somebody get hurt,

and there might be a spot like it always is. So winning gold, that's not the issue, right? You're saying millions of people won't, will be mad if she doesn't play a lot. Well, that means a million people won't be viewing if she's not on the team. So if she's on a team, the jersey sales. Do you think you can sell more jerseys without her or with her? Obvious, it's going to be with her. Absolutely.

USA jersey with her name on it is going to sell. Everything other than basketball lines up for Caitlyn. Everything other than basketball lines up for Caitlyn to be on the team. Yes. So that's what I'm saying. So for you guys as a group, what is very important?

Because this is not men and women men are thinking business you guys are thinking emotional yeah right you guys think who why does she deserve yeah because not one of them girls is gonna go in there be like i think she probably should be on that not one no of course not when magic made 92 he didn't deserve to be on the team. He wasn't even in the league. But he was Magic Johnson. So this is the first time we're bringing pros. We need the most popular names the world knows, which was Magic, who was retired. They brung his ass in. Right?

Bad back bird. Right? Bad back bird. Laying on the ground. Yeah, people don't know that was his last games was usa basketball they bring him because he is the most popular so two people yeah the most popular were put on a team which means two players who were probably all nba didn't get put on a team and we know one of them because he talks about it all the time. Isaiah. Who he was removed for? Magic.

Dominique Wilkins was not put on because of Bird. It was the aesthetics, right? Jersey sales. Magic Jersey was selling. Bird. So that was the point. I had one. And they were trying to get the global effect.

They were trying to make it more global. Now it's there. Not for them. not for them not for them it's not not at all and see true i've got a clerk so their thing my thing is it's to your point you just made right i didn't even think about like they they do they blow everybody out so she's gonna play she's gonna get submitted to play all the minutes no she's going to play. She's going to this minute. You're asking her to play all the minutes? No, no, so she's going to play. So my thing is, they going on is experience, the skill set, and not the popularity part of it.

So like I said, everything, to the point we all make, everything lines up for her off the court to be a part of USA Basketball this year. And that's the thing. I think they missed it. I'm looking at where you guys are work yeah the business that's what you guys need now you know what i mean it's like what you need right now is you need global you need absolutely right you know that's what i said when she comes in when she comes in the game with the five minutes left in the game the arena is going to cheer she shoots a half quarter and makes it what you think they're

going to be posting on the side? Oh, Sabrina's killing? Motherfucker went one for five. But they're going to show you what she did, which makes it seem like she's out there killing. So you get to run the narrative. I didn't miss the mark on this one. Because right now, one, we're not going to be watching because most of us have never seen it.

One, no offense. Y'all speak for yourselves. I will be supportive. No offense, because only he's up at 4 a.m. and 3 a.m. in the morning, right, when they're going to be playing. gonna be watching because most of us never seen it one no no speak for yourself no offense because only he's up at 4 a.m and 3 a.m in the morning right when they're gonna be playing for the most part we're just gonna be our work we're just gonna be listening to um the highlights and stuff like that if they show some other than that we don't we don't watch it right but i know no one's gonna buy the jerseys because well i might the person in jersey who young jamie young oh yeah

because it's young but for the most part like if she's jackie her resume her her resume right now she outsold first day her jersey put on sale she outsold all of cowboys yeah right um yeah all of cowboys in 24 hours what they did in the whole season, right? It's the Cowboys I'll be with you when she goes in an all-star if she makes the all-star game for all-star jersey is gonna sell right if she Was on his team that Jersey's gonna so if they have an alternate Jersey that Jersey so it's more of you Yeah, not that you say money your brain is thinking like they missing out on marketing opportunity my heart overly Owners from other because they more in tune that is yeah, I'm with you

But there's experience at the other yeah, I'm so other women have man is it's tough because it's They really going over there. You know, it's strictly about basketball at times right? This is about competing Yep You know, it's strictly about basketball at times, right? It's about competing. And they missed the mark on the global business aspect and the notoriety for the game. And I'd be, honestly, I think that is the biggest issue here that we're seeing in real time. It's not the basketball part, right? It's the entertainment part of it, the business side of it. Right. That's what you need to focus on. If you want people to see the basketball part, you have to have business and entertainment to bring them in the building.

Once they get in the building, no one's complained. It's get him to the building, like when we talk about boxing, what gets everybody into the building is the lead-up. It's the lead-up. It's the antics before. You know, you got Ryan Garcia and him drinking and he's pretending he's crazy. He's doing all this. He ain't working out.

All of this leads to the fight. Oh, I want to go see him knocked out, right? We we seeing Jake Paul with the fat belly that he didn't had painted on We're you know Mike Tyson and his crazy antics. It's That is getting us there. You know, you got McGregor talking about F the Mayweathers why Mayweather and the family sitting there It's a B. So yeah You got you got every it's Yeah, yeah. That's what the woman side needs to do. You need to figure out

the entertainment part. He fixed his tooth. So we can come out and watch it. That's all. And K, to your point earlier, rookies have been on the Olympic team before. So Rebecca Lobo in 1996, Tarazi in 2004. She was coming in right when they were coming in. Candice Parker in 2008, Brianna Stewart in 2016.

So it makes sense. I mean, her stats, I mean. Yeah. Okay, so if they're going to go stat-based, then there is a player that could have been taken out in the same spot. But that person's the GOAT, so you can't really. What are you saying? Taraji now.

If you're going to argue, you're like, wait, hold on. I got more points, more rebounds, more assists. But she is who she is, so you don't take that person off. You're not taking DT off that squad. It wouldn't be her last Olympics. 20 years in. Once you see the list, you're like, who do you take off? That's what I ask.

No, but I would have liked you to do it before. Yeah, that's what I ask, right? Do it before the list comes out because when you look at it, you're like, yeah. That's why I read the list down, like, from top to bottom, like, the years and the names that's on there. But you remember when I said it, I said I would have had her, brick, and angel on there. Angel on there, too. Right? All of them.

I need all of them because they all are moving. You know, some people are moving it more, but they're all of them. I need all of them because they all are moving You know some people are moving in more, but they're all doing it And I don't really need to play them because Asia all them y'all gonna dominate so it should be 15 people 15 women They can ask Your 12 maybe 12 in a special special Go out there and do layups with the group. You know what I mean? Go out there and do it. Smile and wave.

You know, do some handshakes before the crowd. Pump up the crowd. You know, we can do something with y'all. Yeah, yeah, man. We're going to get you in there. Yeah, we'll get you in there. But the fact that they said it out loud but didn't think about it in reverse. Millions of her fans will be upset that she doesn't get in.

Millions of her fans won't watch if she's not there. Millions of her fans won't buy product if she's not there. Millions, right? So I don't give a fuck if they were watching it and buying and complaining. I don't care about that part. Let them complain There's a point you're gonna hook them to watch and they don't get in the game They whine about it has four numbers anyway, no such thing as bad publicity And that's still more talking when they complain that you still talking about me So so so recently a fever head coachy Sides was asked about the situation and talked

about a conversation she had with Kaitlyn after she didn't make the team. And Kaitlyn reportedly told her, hey, coach, they woke up a monster. So should she have kept that conversation to herself? Yeah. Yeah. One, because you already heard the professional. You already heard her professional statement of, yeah, I'm happy for them. Going to be watching. You know what I mean? Because you already heard her state that, then it was kind of. Well, let her talk her shit, man.

She already got a bullseye on her back. They woke up monster to talk your shit, mainly. But she don't. But she don't. Man, every time she step out there, they hitting that shit. They woke up a monster. Caitlyn about to beat Caitlyn Clark out there. That's Caitlyn.

We heard what she said publicly. Obviously, very, you know, did a good job with the public statement. But should Caitlyn Clark feel snubbed by Team USA? For sure. Deep down. No. No. Hell yeah.

But if you're Caitlyn. I feel that she should be snubbed. Yes. Snubbed. Snubbed. If you're Caitlyn Clark. Not snubbed by Team USA. For sure. Deep down. No. Hell yeah. But if you feel that she should be snubbed. Yes, snubbed. If you're Kaylin's work, I'm saying I'm selling out. No, I mean. I'm selling out arenas. I'm selling more units. Moving product for y'all. Look at all these bands. Look at all these viewers.

I wasn't talking about the last Olympic snubs. This how y'all do me? This how y'all do me? This how y'all do me? I got y'all on the Gifford Arenas podcast talking about this shit. And y'all do me like this? That was a motherfucking

retired next day. Until they put me back on the motherfucking... Straight to the big three. I'm gonna retire. Hey, Ice Cube. You still got that money? You still got that money?

All right, I'll be there on next Saturday. Tell them I ain't got it. But we asked the chat, should Kayla Clark be on Team USA? 62% said yes. 38% said no. More than 5,500 votes.

Shout out to the chat for participating. Who was a real... There was a real snub. What's her... Is that Anika? Or Erika? Erika? Wale?

Killing right now? I know the player. You don't know the name, though. You know Caitlin, bitch. They not easy. Some of them names ain't easy.

Before we go any further, before we go any further, everybody out there, especially all the WNBA fans that are getting mad at Gil for not knowing names, he doesn't know names across the board. Right, I don't know. It has nothing to do with WNBA. that are getting mad at Gil for not knowing names. He doesn't know names across the board.

Man, I don't know him. It has nothing to do with WNBA. He don't know NBA names. Who was the first Caitlyn y'all knew? Caitlyn Jenner. Thank you. Now that name is Caitlyn Cork, motherfucker. You better put me on that fucking Olympic team.

I'm Caitlyn, bitch. No. I don't know how we ended up here. But just pointing that out, Gil, you flub names all the time. Kedrick Lamar and Kedrick Perkins. Gabe Vincent is Sam Vincent. Sam Vincent. Grant Williams is Greg Williams.

So we have a running list. I know who I'm talking about. Y'all know who I'm talking about, too. It's like if you're talking to your child when he first started talking to you. You understand what your baby's saying. The stranger's the hell he's saying he's gonna be like you say he likes french fries You know, so we got to talk about another situation get on Sunday night angel McCarty has some smoke for you McCarty guys, please stop prolific basketball player. I used to play with a dream Angel McCarty WMW WMV. Yeah, Hooper. So

Angel McCarty has some smoke for you Gil regarding some comments you made about her being a good enforcer for Kaitlyn Clark. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The number one pick last year, right? No, fool. So this message is for Gilbert Arenas. Uh-oh. First of all, my name is Angel McCartrey, not Angel McCourty. Secondly, if you heard what I said, instead of having selective hearing, you would have heard

I named three incidences. Jackie Young's incident, Angel Reese's incident, and also Caitlin Clark's incident. And what I said was, as a vet, I'm going to take up for my teammates. It doesn't matter who it is. OK, it's not my fault that the media honed in on one player. So don't try to make it seem like I'm trying to make a comeback to the league to just protect one player. No, any teammate of mine I will protect

because that's what vets do. Real vets. Okay. People that know my story know I have been injured twice. I have gone through a lot and I have been trying to make a comeback to the league since three years ago to retire the way I want and to finish out winning. That has been my goal. So don't do that to me, Gilbert. That's not what we do. Next time, call me. You can call me and talk to me. We know what the media does and how they twist situations. And real vets, they do take up for their teammates. They don't have to bring guns to the locker room.

Wow. Sick. Cop broke you, Gil. Wow. I almost retweeted it, but I like my job. You is a real vet, bro. Thank you. You was a real bit angle in no bite You know kind of better is a a a y'all Hey Smoke over there might have to handle right all the things I done didn't cover the. I got some smoke over there I might have to handle. Right. All the things I done did and covered up for you motherfuckers over there, man.

Gil took some charges. Okay, first of all, what the fuck did I say? Well, I'm glad you asked. I had to tell you. What you said. That's what I'm doing. What the fuck did I do? I'm glad you asked. So the clip she was referencing was from an episode last week during a Mostly Fans segment

when a fan asked who would be a good enforcer for Kaitlyn Clark. Gil, this was your response. The person who went on Instagram, I think last night or earlier today, and said she will be Kaitlyn Clark's enforcer. Who was that person, Gil? Was that Angel? Angel? No, no, no. You don't know her name? I played for Atlanta.

Shooter. Make, make a... Were you thinking Angel McCautry? Yeah, Angel McCautry. Nice cut. We had to obviously cut it for TV time. The conversation went on after that, but said the name correctly. Gil, I didn't take any issue with what you were saying. I think you were saying she would be a good teammate for Kaitlyn Clark.

Based on, I think, a tweet and Instagram post she had put out saying that a good vet would defend their teammates. Okay, so we'll start it off like this. Because she probably got wrong information. So her delivery to me, I can't take offense of it because she's reacting off of most likely Instagram because it was Caitlyn Clark whose name was there most likely. So probably her feed fled with why are you protecting her and not the black girl, right?

That's most likely how this this this this came about so I Agree, he was a good vet. That's why I Said yes, this is a person who can come back and the way she's played her style Veteran leadership, you know, that's the type of person someone likelyn needs at this moment in time until she can defend herself. So I'm answering the question. That was specifically towards Angel. So let me just read what Angel posted on her IG and posted on her Twitter.

She said, there is no way I let the other team beat up on my teammates ever. Who? That's what Angel McCautry posted. Yeah. But it wasn't, as she mentioned in the video, it wasn't just about Kaitlyn Clark. It was about Angels, about other instances. I know, but. Incidents that went on in the league.

Yeah, so, but. But our question. The question was asked. The Mostly Fans question was specifically. Kaitlyn Clark. Yeah. Who would be a good enforcer for Kaitlyn Clark? That was the Mostly Fans question that you were answering.

Yeah. Basically, she don't want to be the enforcer. No, no, no. She don't know the question that was asked. She didn't know the question that you were answering. Yeah. Basically, she don't want to be the enforcer. No, no, no. She don't know the question that was asked. She don't know the question that was asked. So she thinks it's like I'm just saying Caitlyn Clark, but that was the question. Yeah. Who would be a great?

So I'm throwing her name out. If somebody would have said the other two names with their only fan, mostly fans question, then we would have elaborated with the other two rookies that was mentioned as well. It probably would have been the same answer. Angela McCautry just based on her name. Yeah, but it would have been the same answer, Angela McCautry, just based on her saying that. Yeah, but it would have been the same. Because she just spoke up. Like, this person, this is the type of person

that is great in those situations, so she should be hired. So I'm batting for her. I'm saying the same thing she's saying about herself. Because it's not like you just poured her name out your hat like, let me see who I can come up with. Like, no, you were going on stuff that she said. Yeah, so she said, and I'm like...

You're reacting to something that she said that, so she said and I'm reacting to something That she said that somebody asked you a question. It was fresh in your mind because you just saw it It's a level of respect why would she take yeah, and I'm saying yes, oh yeah, I'm going who it is I'm like oh no, that's perfect. She wants to do it either get her They do not need to pop pop, but if we're gonna talk about... That's some typical woman overreaction shit. Yeah. But the... You hit her in the head.

Oh, well. But the whole overall... But the whole... It was. But the beat... I've been around a lot of women. But it is... But that's why I understood where it came from.

Most likely the feed was, why aren't you probably going for angel because I seem like dr. Oman said the same thing the way timeout timeout timeout so everybody at home again everybody at home right yeah everybody we're at that moment dr. Oman what dr. Oman what I say dr. dr. Oman but dr. Oman but we know exactly what you were saying we've been on this couch long enough to know exactly who you were talking about. What we need to start doing is how we're going to take a segment off somebody else's podcast, and not to mention other pod.

When he says the name, we just put it on the bottom. Like, correct. What he says equals correct. Correct. The problem is just keeping up with how many times I just came up with a new position for the intern. So your job, new job is you on name alert, right? Dr. Uman.

Name correction alert, right? When Gil says you got to make sure it's correct, then feed it to Steve. And then get up on the screen. I'll get the list started for you. We got Dr. Uman. He referred to De'Ara Fox as De'Angelo Fox. Greg Williams for Grant Williams. I'm trying to think who was the other.

We got a few. We got a few. Who's same boat is Usain Bolt. But if you're here long enough. But he mentioned the same thing in the reference was why nobody's trying to protect Angel Reese when Angel Reese got hit and Let's just be honest because Angel Reese is a protector herself. Yeah, right and they doing it there right is like When you look at Angel Reese, you're not looking at someone who's gonna play victim

Marilyn she's a soldier how she plays she's about that action. So you're not looking at someone who's going to play victim. Marilyn, she's a soldier. How she plays, she's about that action. So you're not going to bully her, right? So if anything happens to her, right, she is going to handle her own business, but she takes the high road and say, hey, I'm, you know, I'm, whatever they do, they're veterans. But if someone said between the two

who will win the fist fight, I'm pretty sure everyone's going with angel Right, and then you have Cardoso on the same team. So you got two Enforcers on that team. So no one's really concerned of anybody in the NBA bullying These two rookies for damn sure because these two rookies that's who they are. They are bullies, right? So when you say who needs to be bullied, you're talking about usually guards.

Big men are hitting them, right? The big men are trying to take advantage of the guard, trying to keep them out of the lane, trying to show, you know, hey, stay out of my lane. So Shaq was trying to keep us out, and our big man was supposed to defend us with him, which didn't happen, right? So we just stayed the fuck out of the lane.

Like if someone hit Dwyane Wade, we had to deal with Haslam, right? It's just usually guards, you know, you got Steph Curry, he has Draymond Green, right? So yes, you know, someone like Caitlyn does need a protector. Bricks, Cameron Brick.

Cameron Brick. Cameron Brick. Cameron Brick. Cameron Brick. Cameron Brick. Cameron Brick. That's your first one. Right? For the most part, you know, she's tweening because she usually defends herself. You hit her hard, she's going to throw the ball back at you.

So, you know, it's the one that doesn't know how. That's why that's, it's not a black and white thing. It's who's tough, who's not. You know, let's just face it. Yeah, and I just saw a clip of Angel Reese the other day. She was doing some posting of a girl trying to be physical. She was like, fuck, you think this is? I'm like, oh, yeah. Like that, yeah.

She didn't score the ball out of bounds. She's like, fuck, you think this is? I'm like, yeah. This is mad dog. This is this one. She too little. Right, I like that. That's where it's coming from. This is not black. Everything is not black and white, man. This mad dog, like this one. She too little. Right? I like that.

That's where it's coming from. This is not black. Everything is not black and white, man. I think the moral of the story. It's about small and big. This was small and big. Moral of the story, Angel McCartney, we got nothing but love and respect for you

here at Gale's Arena presented by Underdog Fantasy. Whoop, whoop. Yeah, yeah. It was a level of respect. Don't take it the wrong way. We rolling with you. You're gonna be proud. Like if you would have said way. Yeah, we rolling with you. Say something, my friend. You're going to be proud. Like, if you would have said something.

I thought about pop, pop, pop, pop. You just said my thing. If I'm there, you know it is going to be chitty, chitty, bang, bang. But, you know, but just for like, usually the ending is exactly how the ending usually happens with people, right? They want to throw up the...

But she's... But one... But just responsibility. What she said at the end is 100% correct. A real vet won't do nothing like that. And I did have to own up to, you know, that wasn't a good vet in that moment in time. And I had to sacrifice something to make up for that incident.

Yeah. And, you know, people don't know that. So for her to even use it, you're using that because of something I had to do in that moment for it. So I lost a lot because I had to be a vet. Okay. So you were being a vet with that incident? Yeah. Okay. So you were being a vet with that incident? Yeah. Okay.

So you were being a good vet. Hence why no other teammate has ever said anything negative about me or even in that situation. Shit. Wait. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What the fuck? The pain and suffering I had to go through?

No, that's just you. I let everybody know. But that's you because what you used to do. My kids is traumatized. Don't like them. See, you done ruined all my, you done ruined a generation of young. As should have been.

Sometimes you just gotta take the whole lineage out. Wow, family tree. My family tree, take them all out. Yeah, McCartney, I thought about when when you was coming out of the nursing home. I thought... Ladies and gentlemen, another productive day. But back to the previous point, Angel, if you ever want to come on the show, we would love to have you.

We appreciate you. Yeah, yeah, I know. And we are rolling with you. You did top rope Gil. I'm thankful. No, I mean, I want her to get hired. Like, I mean, she still wants to play, so shit. And we support you.

It was a level of respect. It wasn't men trying to come at you. If you know Gil, he was being very respectful in how he approached you. I was confused. I'm over here like, what the fuck? And he butchers many names, so you should feel honored. Was it the name that I messed up on the name? That's what it was, I think.

That's what it was. It was my bad. Her name is her name, though. My bad. So you got to put some respect. To elaborate on what you said, you happened to be a real vet. Yeah. Like, you reached out to guys, your teammates,

and your responsibility, ownership, telling them, like, yeah, that's... For sure. Hey, listen, these mommas cost me a lot of money, dog. They cost me a lot of money. He was the first person that called me when I got drafted on the team. He said, welcome to the team and all that.

Made sure he got in the gym. He had two houses. He put me in one of his houses. I didn't even have to pay rent. So my first year, I had a big-ass crib. Was there any furniture in the house? Man, it wasn't nothing. It came with some holes, though.

It came with a fight. It came with a fight. It came with a call-up. I don't need you out in them streets. I'll go ahead and bring it to you. You all right? There you go, man. A very meaningful way of keeping Nick in the house. I understand that.

But let's keep him when we got to talk a little Lakers before we get to the NBA finals. So after news broke before game one of the finals that the Lakers were trying to persuade UConn head coach Dan Hurley to be their next head coach. Hurley met with the Lakers on Friday where they presented him with their vision for him. Come on, Kenyon. This is important news. This is the future of Los Angeles hanging in the balance right now.

So, Lakers offered Hurley allegedly a huge long-term contract, which is reported to be in the 60-year, $70 million range. So, Hurley went back to the Cribs, said he needed to think on it, met with his UConn squad today. So according to NetWode, Hurley has officially turned down the Lakers. Yes.

Much like Coach K did the Lakers 20 years prior when they tried to lure him away from Duke in 2004. So we talked about it on Thursday. Some of you guys did not believe that this was real so Fugazi report has proven itself to not be tangible as Dan Hurley is staying at UConn to try to win his third straight

national championship but Gil what's your reaction to Dan Hurley turning down the Lakers offer and what does this say about the state of the franchise they offered that man double to come coach the Purple and Gold, and he said the nay-nay. We didn't want him. The streets didn't want him.

And I turned down to replace Stephen A. Smith on first take. Did ESPN bring you and your family to Bristol? I was there. He was there, Mike. I was there. I got a witness. Man, nobody good. Come on, man. That's fantasy shit they be talking about just to keep the shit in.

There's no way he turned down $70 million for the next level if that was actually offered for the contract he has now to try to three-peat on a season that he has projected 12, preseason NIT 12, and you lost the most important player that you need on why you won the last two years, shut the fuck up. Got a solid class coming in, though. Uh-huh. Okay.

Yeah. I'm just telling you the information. Okay, cool. All right. Hey, we're just going to throw you in there. We're going to go home and just play with it. There was no $70 million. Show me text or an email.

Show me $70 million. He came to L.A. Friday, met with Rob Palenka and Jeannie Buss. Wife came out as well. The entire Lakers brass. When did he come out? $70 million for like three years, though, because he'd be probably fired in like three years. What, from the Lakers?

Yeah, yeah. Two years. Two years, that's what I'm saying. That's a big check. Knowing you could go right back to the... But not have the same... No, he can't go back to UConn. Why he can't? Because they're going to hire somebody else, fool.

Yeah, you're going to fire him and get him back. Listen, we're going to let you walk away. We're going to wait on you to get fired from the Lakers. You brought me to a championship. You bring me your job back. If you want your job back, it's yours. No, Nick, it don't work that way, Nick. Shit.

Trust me. Shit. That man made the right decision Nick. It don't work that way, Nick. Shit. Trust me. Shit. That man made the right decision. That money didn't mean that much to him. Everything ain't about money, Gil. Shit. They didn't offer him that. Whatever it was.

They didn't offer it. It was more than $32 million. When we said, what I'm saying is when we said. Whatever it was, it was more than $32 million, right? That's what he got in UConn, right? Yes, he did. So whatever, just say if it was it was 33 million Gilbert. Mm-hmm Whatever the number was it wasn't that important to him to cut to leave his situation where he's comfortable

That's right. You actually believe this bullshit I've never believed he was a candidate you pulled him out game. I believe everything else though for everybody Like I believe all other reports though everybody like I believe all other reports though not on them all other reports Anything else won't say you motherfuckers run running like that Anything won't say y'all motherfuckers taking it to the bank. I'm saying we also say reported one by one by No other anytime y'all Laker news is when it's the report gonna fire Darvin here fire that motherfucker Do this do that do this do that but when as soon as this won't believe that Before his before his name just was brung out of thin air. Who did you think is our next coach?

I didn't think nobody you don't think JJ is not at all player coach I don't think he's gonna get the job either. So you don't think JJ right? No, I don't think he's going to get the job either. So you don't think J.J. Reddick? No, I don't think he's deserving of the job. I think that man that was offered just now, he should stay where the fuck he is, like he did. Because this job is a two-year gig right now. There's no like I said on Thursday, he'll

be a fool to take it. He'll be a fool to turn that. It ain't the money. Nick, for most people, it ain't about the money, dog. That's black people shit, dog. You got a chance to win a championship in the NBA and in college. Listen, Nick, this black people shit. Everybody love money.

Don't just put black people. Black people. White people love money, too. It don't move them, though. You crazy as hell. It does not. Money move everybody. Nick, obviously he would have took the gig.

He would have took the gig. Whatever the money, if it was anything over 32, six, he got 36 years, 32 million at UConn. Yes? They about to double that motherfucker. Six year double, five million more, 10 million more. It did not matter because the job in here, I don't know, I didn't have a conversation with him. The security

that I have at UConn, I'm cool with if I'm Hurley. I just won back-to-back. Got a great recruiting class coming in. I lost Castle. Yeah, great, good player. Pro. Let him cool. He wasn't there good player, pro, led him, cool.

He wasn't there last year we won it. He came in as a freshman, he won as a freshman, yes or no? This is true. We won it the year before without him so we can win it again without him. With who? Nah, hell. The kid that's going louder that just left, the freshman kid. Yeah, but he's not the reason. But he's the best player. I'm talking about the big fella. No, the big fella's the big fella. Yeah, but he's the best player. Yeah, big fella. But the Castle kid, he lived early. We, the big fella's the big fella. But he's their best player. But he lived early. We won the year before with the big...

He's doing great recruiting. It's his control. Like you stated the other day, when you come here, it's not in your control. Some of these dudes, that's what's important to him, right? Me being having control over what I do and how it's done. Damn that money. Yeah, I do and how it's done. Damn that money.

Yeah, I'm not arguing about the money. It wasn't, I don't believe that this was actually even a thing. I think this just came out of smoking. That's what I believe. So whatever name they start throwing, they throw in anybody, I'm going to look at the name and say cap. So J.J. Reddick is not cap?! So J.J. Reddick is not Cap? J.J. Reddick is not Cap? I think that's a real So why can't this be a real thing then?

If you believe that, why can't you believe this? So here's my only... Because a week before that, it was down to two people. Yeah. So you don't think... And he wasn't one of them. So you think the schools just stopped? So once again, did you talk to Rob Palenka?

No. Did you talk to Jenny Buss? No. Who did you get these reports from that you knew it was down to one, two people? The same reports as... So how can you believe that and not believe this then? Well, two different reporters. Well, how can you believe the other reporter and not believe this then?

Because you didn't talk to the people from the Lakers directly. We wanted to believe it. So did you talk to them to know this is true? No, I didn't, But you believe one thing, but don't believe the other. No, what I'm saying is, from who is coming, I don't believe none of it.

Did they talk to J.J. Reddick? Did they talk to him? But the thing is, you picking and choosing? No. Yes, you are. No, I didn't pick and choose. The money was real,

nor did I pick and choose. Was he real? But the story itself. I don't think it's real. But you believe other reports. So, like, my thing is, where are you getting your information from? I'm standing on all of it.

What I'm saying is, I'm standing on all of it's not real. So, the JJ Reddick thing is not real? That could be a possibility. So, this couldn't be a possibility? No. No. I don't think this is a possibility.

So, which hair you want to split now? No, what I'm saying is, the JJ Reddick has been two, three weeks, and everybody's having their fill. But you believe it. And then it got down to these three, four, five people. But you believe it. No, what I'm saying is it got down to these three, four, five people.

But you believe it. And then all of a sudden a wingman comes throughout. But you believe it. Like, I don't believe it. But you believe it. And all actually of the people that they named, he's probably the most qualified. So therefore, their search is not

going to stop because they threw out... Because somebody reported that it's down to two, four, five, three people for the job. Their search is not going to stop. Somebody might have threw his name in there after the fact. Have you ever thought about Hurley? Shit, I heard he might entertain it.

Right? She might take a bag to get him to move. But y'all choose... choose what y'all believe. So according to the reports that dropped before game one of the NBA Finals last Thursday, the Lakers had been pursuing him for a while. He was always their prime number one target. But I think we get what you're saying. We've heard about this coaching search for a while now.

Dan Hurley's name had never been brought up to now last Thursday Oh, they've been trying to go after this dude. Oh just because so there's nothing that could see this is the thing about today's fucking society and people There's a such thing as fucking secrets. There's fucking such thing as minding your goddamn business There's a such I'm a big fan of not telling all the business. There is a such thing as that. Yeah. Not in Lakeland. All reports are not true and all things are not false. So, therefore, people can feed you whatever they want to feed you because these people in this society put the shit in the microwave and fucking cook it and it's done in a minute and a half. And the shit, no.

Nah. It needs fucking time. Just like LeBron is not in talks talks about JJ and whoever do I believe that? No, right the only way you make me believe that you know the proof what I'm saying if the only way you make me believe that LeBron wants JJ or this person is if he don't get the job That's the only way I would know you didn't have no control. As long as JJ don't get the job, as long as JJ gets the job, we're going to all believe

that LeBron was part of this, right? Part of the whole decision. Only if you don't get it makes me believe you didn't have anything to do with it. Other than that, you did. Just a big coincidence. But that's my thing. It's like... Just give us the name already. Give us us the suspects give us the credentials and let us

so who you want to hear it from huh who do you want to hear it from the organization reports yeah but no from lakers organization because let's just be honest if woj or shams is getting it someone is leaking it someone is putting their name in the hat so for me to believe a dude who just signed so you just signed a deal let me ask you this then with your statement you just made if they're getting it from somewhere is it someone from the lakers can be somebody from lakers to be someone from the other side. But... So if they're getting the information from someone that's close and direct contact with

the person, right? Throw my name in there. No, no, that ain't what I'm getting at. So how can't the information be accurate in the six for 70 million? So how can't the six for 70 million be accurate in there? Because everybody else, free agents.

So you want a guy who just signed his new deal. When has this happened to anybody else? I don't know. How often has that happened? You sign a deal to be the coach, just signed your deal, and then I offer you a deal. Yes, it's a better situation. So you signed that last season.

It's a better situation. It happens all the time. College football coaches do it all the time. It happens. They sign their deal and the pro team come along like, here you go, you motherfucking jump ship. They do it all the time, dog. They do it all the fucking time.

I just didn't believe it because I think this last couple years, LeBron going to have more control. So you still didn not answering my question. So, the information, like you said, is coming from somewhere. Somewhere close to the source. You said it, not me. I'm using you. This is what you said.

Yes. So, why can't the six for 70 million be the exact information that you're referring to that's coming from close to the source? Because I just don't believe it. But you believe everything else that comes to Wolge and Shum. I don't believe none of it. I can process it in real time and say, no, that might be some bullshit. I can do that.

We just look at the situation, how it's playing off. Obviously, JJ has a real job right now on ESPN and doing that. So him being selected right now is not possible. Right? Because we've never seen it in real time. That's possible. While he's working? What is holding him up? Yeah, that happens. Nigga, they got ten

other people they can put in that chair. They gonna get Richard Jefferson to do the fucking final. That doesn't matter, dude. Yeah, that happens, man. But, hey, for heaven's be it you ever got Huh, I believe you ever got to go understand to testify somebody boy I know your first words come out your mouth should be I plead the fifth because the whoever you know Yeah, I'm going to go boy. They gonna

55 you know in court you being cross-examined by some of the best 55 55-0 in court. Being cross-examined by some of the best. I don't lose in court. 55-0, Gil. I promise you don't lose in court. You got to be very technical. You don't lose in court. You're very technical. You don't lose. In the heat of battle, you don't lose.

55-0 in court. 70 million, make him the sixth highest. I just don't believe it because LeBron know how much Darwin him me he wasn't making that let me say I just don't know the report But I think this next coach gonna have like a report LeBron like this is for last couple of years Like he got a no no Darvin. I get about five million One of them of which one is it they gonna have a report? Like a coach ever like that's what I feel like that him they hire him is like the job after LeBron

Frank Vogel what happened they were getting that yeah, that's a Every Darvish was getting about five million year. Let me see Vogel. It's like, okay, so, we already know how Lakers work, right? They're the cheapest when it comes to that job. Coaching. Right? Coaching job. So, they're trying to keep within that three to five

to six million dollar deal. Vogel was five years, 31 million at the time he was hiring. I don't know if that adjusted. He was coaching, yeah. So, he was already coming off Indiana. It's just the number just like, I don't. Yeah, like I said. Y'all legacy don't do that. I understand.

You know what I mean? Yes, absolutely. Like I said, it could have been 35 million. It could have been a dollar more than the 32 million that he's already getting, that he's already signed for. But that's what makes it. Now, if you would have said he turned down, he has a six-year 32. If they said three-year 32, a four-year 32, like what is the 70? 70 for how long?

Six years for 70. So a little over $11 million a year, but basically double what he would be making at UConn. Yeah. To live in Los Angeles. What coach did they ever give six years to, even under contract? So my brain works inflation, time, all that shit. I'm equating all that shit with the set. Like, it could be a real number is what I'm saying.

With team two, you got the possibility to win a championship. be a real number is what I'm saying. To live in Los Angeles, to live in 2024, to leave his current situation, you probably would have to throw a number out there to entice him. That's what I'm saying. Six years? Six or seventy? To throw it? To entice him?

Now, JJ, now, whoever gets... Now, JJ like, shit. No, no, no. What happened is now we see six years 70 And then what ends up happening is whoever sign is gonna be three years like they've done everybody else absolutely Yeah, I agree, so I'll just throw this out They offered a Hurley the six or seventy million Ty Lue who was initially before Volga took the gig I think I three year eighteen million dollar. They didn't want to commit Say if you're ty Luthor's already won a championship

I just look at it could be a good me but I'm saying just people pick to choose what the fuck y'all want to believe All is what I'm saying. So good because we're close to the source What you want to believe in Not knowing when I when I don't know the people people that said Don't want to hear the truth about that girl. I think, but I think... Nah, no she wasn't. No, she wasn't.

I was on the phone the whole day. Shut up. What you talking about? Because I got a piece of it too, so I know you wasn't on the phone. Like, I'm just telling on him. So we asked the chat, Dan Hurley staying at UConn is right decision,

wrong decision. 85% said the rightn is right decision, wrong decision. 85% said the right decision had nearly 4,400 votes. I'm not leaving that situation, bro. If I'm him, I'm not leaving. I think the bigger question, though. College is forever. College is forever. He doesn't. But the way that it's set up now, it's the same as he did.

No, it's not. No, it's not. Not his job. Damn it. Not his job. Not his job. I hate now. They got to pay the players. But not his job. He don't his job. Not his job. He's paid now. They got to pay the players.

But not his job. He don't got to pay. He still got control, right? He has control. Listen, he doesn't have to. The Boosters got control. He doesn't have to win another national championship. He can coach there for the next 20 years.

It don't matter. He coached for the next 20 years. And he going to have to spend some years. Where did he come from? Great question. Did he come from a record or something? Rhode Island. And Wagner. College is that, man.

He can be the Coach K of that situation. See, you know something? This would have made sense last summer. Just, you know, like his contract is up and he's trying to boost the other number up. And, you know, like me, if I'm hearing Lakers is looking for a coach, I'm going to have my PR people push it

that I'm one of the candidates too and shit like that. So the people that I'm trying to get paid for got to boost it up too. But to be under contract, I'm like, all right, whatever. But the college should work different, though. Because you can just leave anytime you want? Yeah, but he just come off of the national championship. So whatever the number was, they was going to have to run it up.

UConn was going to have to pay it. Break bread. I just think the whole opposite situation, hearing this news for the first time on Thursday after not previously being reported, acting like there was going to be this whole push. He just told them. He had to meet with his team and his players.

Obviously, you're creating a situation at UConn, too, now, where those guys don't know what's up. Maybe thinking about dipping. That transfer portal shit real. He leave everybody gone. So we talked about the most important basketball topic. Let's talk about another less important basketball topic, NBA Finals. So since we were last in the arena,

the Celtics took a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals behind some strong play from most of their rotation guys. That is your team. That is my team. That is your team. It's not my team, but it is my team now. So, game one on Thursday, Jalen Brown led Boston with 22.6 rebounds, three steals, and three blocks. Chris Stapps Porzingis came up big off the bench in his first game back since April 29th.

He had 20.6 rebounds and three blocks to help the Celtics take game one. So before game two, Luka was downgraded from probable to questionable with a thoracic contusion, right knee soreness, and left ankle soreness. I hate this fucking injury report shit like the football. It's like the NFL, though. They injury report shit. If a guy got a helmet, you got to listen. If he have a bad game, he was hurt.

He was all bandaged up, wrapped up for a game. I don't think there was any doubt in anybody's mind that Luka was going to play a game, too. But let's take a look at some of the highlights from that game. No doubt that Luka was going to play. Remain to be seen if it's supporting cast, mainly Kyrie will be up to the challenge in game two. Celtics took a three-point lead in the half.

The game was back and forth in the third quarter until the Sectors went on a 12-0 run. Take a double-digit lead. Peyton Pritchard picked the perfect time to get his first bucket of the series, hitting that big three. So after the Celtics extended their lead to 14, the Mavs went on a 9-0 run in the fourth quarter

with Luka getting going. But, oh, we thought it was pretty much done at this point. I thought it was over for a minute, yeah. But they mounted back. So, they were down eight with a little over a minute to go. Luka got this and one to cut the lead to five. He wanted to give

him the ball for that. He wanted to throw the ball. Then this may have been the play of the game. P.J. Washington going for the layup with Derek White, Jalen Brown. So I was wrong, Steve. Said the name up to that. Now, looking at it, it may have been a foul on Jalen Brown. I don't think it's one you call in that moment.

Drew Holiday stopped the ball. Boom. But Bigger did it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'll tell you what I thought. Jalen Brown came up with this big bucket to seal the win. So Drew Holiday led the Celtics with 26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists. Jalen Brown added 21 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals.

Tatum had 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 12 assists, but he was 6 for 22 from the field, 1 for 7 from 3. On the math side, Luka had his 7th triple-double this postseason with 32 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists. He also had four steals, but also had a game-high eight turnovers. You're real media, boy. Why? At times.

I'm giving you guys the information. No, you be real media at times. That's what you say, KD. So just say Jason Tatum almost had a triple-double. He had an amazing game. He was six for 22. Like, you put emphasis on the 22. Like, you real media at times, dog.

Stat man, stat man. I'm just saying. I just, like, say that the man had a great game and he had a triple-double. He was one rebound away from the triple-double. And I was screaming it. Right? I was screaming it. No, but just because he played for the Celtics, you emphasize he was six for 22.

Right? I have math stats to read, too. But I'm just saying. But you put emphasis on it. But he was six for 22. I love it. But you move just saying, but you have an emphasis on it, but he was six for 22. But you moved right on, though. Is that a good percentage? But it's not important.

It's very important. No, it's not. To say he was six for 22. It's not important in this situation. Gil. Gil. If he was 15 for 22, would that be important?

Nope. Is that, huh? Hell no. Shoot the mother fucker. No, but why? It's not. How many assists he have? 12. Exactly. 18 points, nine rebounds, 12 assists. Huh? No, it's not it's not it's not it. I mean it's this he has 12 exactly

Don't be that real don't be we we don't do that real media shit at all that other media I said 18 points nine rebounds 12 assists, but you did six but 22, but was He read through the stats. Hey, he read through the stats fast. Is that a good field goal percentage? It's 8-9-4. 22! 22! It's 22, motherfucker.

Is that a good field goal percentage? It doesn't matter. Six for 22 is good. You won. Yeah, you won. Make sure. You won. So you guys will be happy.

If you went six for 22 for your entire career. And we won. And we won. Yeah, you won. Make sure. You won. So you guys will be happy. If you went six for 22 for your entire career. And we won. And we won. And we won. If every game, Gil's going six for 22. And what's so funny is what you did is exactly what I was screaming online. Just get one more rebound. One more rebound changes the narrative and the optics.

To a triple-double. Because it becomes a triple-double. Oh, he had a triple-double. And they don't care about you had a bad office I also said Luca had a triple double buddy. Yeah, they had one a game. I a turn over They turn over to put the emphasis on that Turnovers for Luca now, but so I'm saying that yeah, he had the triple W also a turnover so more power to you Luca But we gotta take the good with the bad so Kyrie had 16.6 rebounds. He was

7 for 18 from the field. P.J. Washington, 17.7 rebounds. Daniel Gaffrey averaged 13.9 rebounds. Celtics are now 2-0 in the finals heading to Dallas for Game 3 on Wednesday. They're also 4-0 against the Mavs this season. Before we get started,

I owe Christoph Porzingis an apology. See? I didn't get into all that. Please do. Right? No, I didn't think he was going to game one, first half. I thought it was going to look like the second half. I took it lower too, K. I thought the first game, I thought his first half,

I thought his second half would have been like his first half. What game, last game? Game one. Game one. Because he hadn't played in five weeks. Right? I thought the adrenaline and everything of the moment would have been... I was fucking dead wrong.

But I was... Hold on. But let me just... Part of my statement was wrong. Right? Because... No, no. Shut up. You wasn't here. All the way wrong. Just like your outfit. All the way wrong. You wasn't here, so shut the fuck up. All the way wrong. Just like your outfit. All the way wrong.

Wow. No, no, I was just... You were saying, what the fuck is me and you against him? No, I wasn't even doing that. No, motherfucker. No, I was... Don't get me to you. It's Bad Boy for Life.

Bad Boy for... He just came out with a movie yesterday. It was Friday. Boom. So, but the point I was making, fool, is... Bad Boy for Life. So, the point I was making, me and Rashad was in here going back and forth about is

that when Kristoff catches the ball, he will concede the post up. His first five shots was small guarding, didn't go down to the block, post up. He shot it over him, but he didn't try to get to the block.

Any resistance is what I was saying. He will stop and catch the ball. I said he could go 10 for 10, didn't I? I said, and he did exactly, right? So, but I didn't think he was going to have that kind of an impact in game one. Hey, my bad, big fella. So, Kane, we are new media. So we could have just cut it from the second half of the statement.

No, no, no. It made you look like a dude. No, it's all good. It was one and one, right? But what you were saying is, like, that's logic, right? He hasn't played, they win, right? And that's when I told Brandon, I said, those are the type of games where he going to be, like,

three for three or four for four the first, and then fatigue kicks in. Right? That beginning of the game, you get on fire because you're not tired yet, and then once fatigue kicks in and them legs kick in, then. That was game two because it was a position that was going boom, boom, boom. And I apologize, everybody. You were fucking bent over under the basket.

I was like, oh, there you go. There you go. I took the 15.5 lower on Porzingis. He betrayed us all. Everybody would Porzingis. He betrayed us all. Everybody would have took it. He betrayed us. Game played in five weeks. This is game one of the NBA finals.

Exactly. Finals MVP for a minute. Came out big with a huge part. Has anybody ever did that? Like I said, I don't know. It hurt the whole playoffs and won finals MVP. Have anybody ever did that? No.

No, right? We will research it. you had 20 last day I think he could have been a candidate And we will talk about that later on in this segment, but looking at these first two games What are your biggest takeaways? from the first two games in the NBA final Are you know shit? I just think um the Celtics got too many weapons. And everybody, like, harp on the fact that if Brown or Tatum are going to be MVP, I think, shit, Holiday could be an MVP.

Like, you never know. So I just feel like they overmatch. And I don't know how you think Dallas is going to win. And they just got four defensive players and four scorers, and Dallas got to have a great game every game to win a game, for sure. They're two players. If Kyrie have less than 20, I don't see Dallas winning the game. Yeah, I mean, mean since you know um you remember when i when they were talking i looked online

you know just look at the highlights and the one thing that i seen what was happening is when was christoph that's in a word christ Kristoff and... Kristoff. Same shit. And old Al-Ass, right? Old Al-Ass. What they did versus how Gafford and Lively played defense. It looked like a big problem just on the highlights itself. Where Gafford's instinct is to protect the rim at all times right so

He's coming down tracking first person under the block Looking his man stopping at three-point line right so now he has to try to stop the ball didn't get out right and I'm like well Then that's a that's a problem because it's natural instinct. It's natural instinct is what the problem is because he is a protector, right? And anybody who drives, he is trying to protect the rim while his man's

sitting at the three-point line. So, that's what I'm saying. I'm seeing all the opportunities that he's personally given up to try to stop. And I'm like, yeah, this is going to be the problem. No matter how great they play, you can't take away his instinct, and his instinct is going to cost him.

His natural instinct. For him to stop Jalen and Tatum, he has to give up threes. When they drive, because everywhere else they're small, for him to, like when Tatum tried to block it, he could have threw that right there. That's three every time, right?

So once they figure that out, it's going to be a problem where it's like, you're going to have to go real small and say, just play five out, try to keep everybody in front of you. Because it's now there's a job there I did a better job and I saw exactly what you were saying because it was a situation like he he caught himself now like they're

likely caught itself mm-hmm he was getting ready to drop too low and realize he was garden porzingis and said oh shit like start he like and it's just that like yeah You see it on live you face to Yeah, it's like they got it The first the first big to come down, you know, you're tracking like beat the big down You're the first one stop the ball plug all that That's tough But if you give up the big that you see how easy that was blowing by like

but they like packed the paint they're doing a decent job of keeping them guys they ain't getting one straight line no yes and it's the second guy that's always stopped making them think to pass out and shit to me it's over helping yeah yeah that's what I said. It's the over helping because you you you're not you're not trusting that your Your defender is is doing is doing a decent job You know, so you're always over help my guys they panic and then we did like when you plan a team like this to Using your human instincts against you and that's's what they do in the situations. But what's... I don't know if it's the crowd. I don't know if it's the defense.

The defense and the crowd. That was Kyrie's situation the first two games. But they've been physical with him. They're making him exert a lot of energy to get his shot off. They're not... He got to play both sides.

He does, but they can still put him on Derek White in situations when he out there. He don't have to work his heart out to get Derek White. I'm not even worried about that. But they put him in situations to... But let me ask you this, Gil. With Dallas, with the offense, it's stagnant. Yep. ISO. My brain went to, I ain't saying you gotta run the full offense that we ran. Uh-huh.

Taking some sets from that. Yeah. Getting Kyrie some easier looks. Right? Yeah, I would've- Running some chin. Running a chin set. He needs some.

Running something else different to get him like some easier shots. What's so funny is, you know, I our run chin our run chin special form right right where you know boom boom he fakes then and come back up right now he got his ISO I'll run something like that I'll stay away from chin 15 of course because the same pickin roses because it's a I do so for the fans out there with his chin so it's uh it's basically me a pickin yeah so so basically my place a guard the guard play I'll be standing like this if this is exactly where Keane is and I'm here he lines up with the ball I'll pass it to the guard. I'll come off

I'm screaming possible lob which muffled he ain't throwing it. Yeah, right cuz he wants to pick and then he come up into a pick and roll He's okay Another way to get the mid pick and roll pick and roll but you have a movement because you got my pass it and a big Don't like we're hoping this happens. You got my pastor to him and I come off King in and then his man drops So it'll be different. So let's flip it right? He's more athletic, right? So this so let's flip it. Yeah You pass it you go off for the lob because they got to respect the lob. They got to respect the lob. Right?

The big, normally the big will sag to protect the lob. Now the pick and roll happens and the big is late on the help. Late on the help. So he's, because if he throws and he goes off and the big, his big drop, he runs right into a pick and roll. I get to come off and I'm wide open. Especially if you're coming off the screen with somebody that could. The chat's saying you need a whiteboard to start diagramming these plays.

I agree with that. I'm thinking about it. When I'm watching game one, I'm like, damn, they're having a hard time getting this shit off. Let me see what MJK and them are going to do for game two. Fucking same thing. I'm like, dude, he's working entirely to... How can I... And you know, it takes everything because I don't fucking work for the Ma same thing. I'm like, dude, he working entirely to, what can, how can I, and you know,

it take everything because I don't fucking work for the Mavericks. I got a couple guys phoning up. I can pick the phone up and be like, hey man,

why don't y'all run, but. But at the same time. But they ain't put it in. They ain't put it in yet. So it's like, but you got to run some, you got to run something

different to get this dude some easier looks. So like you pointed out, Kyrie has now lost 12 straight games against the Celtics since stomping on Lucky the Leprechaun. So far this series, he's only averaging 14-4 and three rebounds, 13 for 37 from the field, 0 for 8 from three. I'm running old school floppy set. I'm listening, dog.

I'm gonna go old school floppy, get him to come off, run a triple-double for him, get him to come off Kyrie. You come come, catch out, catch and shoot, dog, because it's too... But the problem is this, is they dumbed down the game. I don't know if this is a disrespect to the new generation,

but I can tell you it doesn't favor you. And what I mean it doesn't favor you is this. You're... The way the offense is being played today means all of you guys are not that smart to be able to be part of the

offense. Right? So you guys just go in a corner. It's easy to say alright you go in a corner and we put the ball in the best players hands. So if you look at like old school basketball, everyone got to feel that motherfucker a little bit, right? You got to touch it. Oh man, that's crazy.

Now it's you get in the corner, you get in the corner and then our best player usage is just very high. So when people talk about these guys are scoring more and doing more, it's their usage. If you look at the usage of everybody else versus today's stars,

it's a lot different. These guys are the ball is in Luka's hand all the time. So you're keeping the ball out of everybody else's hand. I don't think what Boston did that was smart. Luka's offense is pick and roll with the five man. Mostly Gafford because he jumps higher. So when he comes in, have you in the back,

you playing this in and out game, he fakes it, you don't, you jump, you get, he throws the lob, dunk, right? That's the offense. That's all he wants to do. You guys pull in, he does all this extra shit. He beats on you literally with the pick and roll They stuck Tatum on them

Right. It's like tight it Tatum on them. So when gaffer comes up switch it No one else does pick and rolls with Luca for him to even because it's a switch, right? So now you might as well just play one-on-one and just forget the switch and that's what's happening We can't do pick and roll because it's just a switch. I might as well just play one-on-one and just forget the switch. And that's what's happening. We can't do pick and roll because it's just a switch. I might as well just play one-on-one. Now, the counter that for J.K. is. Well, how can you counter that? They threw the ball to Gafford in the post.

He scored. Three times. And guess what they didn't do again? Throw the motherfucker back down. Man, I'm not winning. It's slowing the game down. And Luka doesn't have to do as much. It's another score, Nick. I'm not winning. It's slowing the game down. And Luka doesn't have to do as much. It's another score, Nick.

I'm not trusting Gaffer. Nick, he scored three times. They switched with Jason Tatum. They threw that motherfucker down there. He backed Jason Tatum's ass down and made him play some defense, potentially get a foul. He scored. He scored.

And then the next play, they pick and roll. Man, that is illusion. No, it's not. No, no, no. Yes, illusion. I need the illusion to pretend to be real so you can switch. Dr. Strange. That's Dr. Strange.

If you keep doing it. That is Dr. Strange illusion. Now, let's say he scored three. Let's say he scored three. Boston might go out of it and go back to normal. Then I get to go to my pick and roll. want you to do that what give it to God for it It's not even a option more like I'm looking at I'm looking at Tatum and Gaffer Gaffer got Tatum and then Gaffer just in your life, but if he didn't score it works in Boston favor. Yeah, he's

And it just went from match, bro. Everybody in Dallas played. I understand what you're saying, but you have to make adjustments and do things different in a playoff series. And the adjustment that we're talking about instead of running the same The adjustment is y'all saying Gafford beat us. No, no, no.

I'm going to throw it to Gafford. No, here's why. I made it all the way to here to throw you the ball. The reason is Gafford is this. Luca's pick and roll, Kyrie's pick and roll is one and five. So it's with Gafford. Yeah, it's with Gafford. So that means the five-man sticks, Gafford,

I get to sit here and play with the ball, right? And then I get to throw it to Gafford, right? So Gafford dunks. That's how he gets his points. Because it's his pick and roll, get him off me, then we're going to play this little two-man game against this big. What they did was

Tatum, you guard Gafford. So that means Horford and Porzingis, they stick Derrick Jones now. So that means when he tries to go up and do the pick and roll, they just switch it. No advantage. Right? So Luka don't get to do what he needs to do. So what means when he tries to go up and do the pick and roll, they just switch it. No advantage.

So Luka don't get to do what he needs to do. So what we're saying is throw it to Gafford, down low on Tatum, let him score. Boston might say, alright, Horford, you go down there. Now when Horford goes down there, pick and roll. Now I can do the pick and roll.

He scored three times like that. They said, fuck it. No, no, no. The second quarter, first play, Now I can do the pick and roll. He scored three times like that. They said, fuck it. Stay in the same way. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The second quarter, first play, they threw it to Gafford. He scored. They scored. Second play. My fear is being Luka on my hip.

I mean, being on Luka's hip. That's what I fear the most. Yeah, but listen, very second play, pick and roll. Third play, pick and roll. Fourth play, pick and roll. Fourth play, pick and roll. Fifth play, pick and roll. Lost, lost, lost, lost. Then they threw it to Gaffer. Score. Pick and roll.

Pick and roll. You're not even giving it a chance. I want you to change. So it's like making adjustments. You know, like if Nick. You make another adjustment is what we're talking about, right? But the adjustment, that's like you throwing the ball into, um, what's his name? Not Haywood, but the other one.

Etan? Yeah. But with a guard guarding him. He going to take it. But see, but that's a, I. A 6'8 guard guarding him. But I need him. A 6'8, 6'9 guard.

But the best, he might get a fucking, fucking, he might get a foul. Don't want a foul. Etan versus. But he might not want to, but James, but James Harden down there. But you already know, James Harden probably don't want a foul. So we might get some points that we don't even. Jason Taylor don't want a foul.en probably don't want to foul. So we might get some points that we don't even... Jason Tatum don't want to foul.

All you got to do is this. They're not used to having a ball in here. Jason Tatum don't want to foul. You go to a person that ain't used to scoring, what the fuck gonna happen? He scored.

All right. Well, we want him to keep scoring. I'm gonna keep throwing the ball at him. So what we're talking about... Why you doing that post shit? What we're talking about is making adjustments.

Which you clearly... What adjustments can you make you tell you man? That's not an adjustment that I want to make because I just mean Him to win no not him to win. I forget when Nick him the score nothing it don't matter What do y'all say? He's not a score. I'm not trusting him if I'm fucking Jason kid Kyrie the fuck I don't care who it I'm not trusting not trusting him to win the game for me. He's not winning the game. I need him.

That's what you want to keep saying. You want him to score, right? He did. And what they do? They stay with the same fucking line the whole time. They lost. So. Because they stay with the same.

They want you to throw it to him. No, he's not throwing. They want you to do pick and roll. They want you to do pick and roll, fool. They want you to do pick and roll because we're going to switch it and roll fool They want you to do pick and roll cuz now like cuz you because we're gonna switch it or it's a please towards it I see therefore live so let's have it. So yeah, let's have a sweet talking to him in some people He knows this when we play in Miami, right and we doing plays for foot Quran and I'm like now We need to get fucking Dwayne Wade tired because that's different. Let's go to the good but from everybody else

Passing that motherfucker the whole time. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? at Dwyane Wade tired because that's different. Let's go to the good. But from everybody else, pass it up, motherfucker, the whole time. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Watch. Because now he has to switch on and put somebody else on. It changes. He's messed it.

What I'm saying is the way Boston put Tatum. See, they thought Horford was going to guard Gafford. So the fact that they put Tatum down there means when Gafford comes out, Brown to Tatum. But the look has to look like it's dominant for them to switch. If it don't look like... We're not asking for it to be dominant, Nick. It has to. If it looks like I can't guard the nigga at all, then I'm going to make the adjustment.

So therefore, if you try more than... What we're saying is, Nick, if you listen instead of just fucking talking, what we're saying is... Nigga, I'm not trusting it. What we're saying is, Nick, if you listen, instead of just fucking talking, what we're saying is... Nigga, I'm not trusting it. What we're saying is, try it more than one time. I'm not trusting it. And therefore, that's you. Try it more than one time. Okay, how about this?

How about this? Try it more than one time. Let's say you throw it down there five times in a row, and he scored all five times. What do you think Boston do? What's the likelihood of him scoring five times in a row? He scored five times times. What do you think Boston do? What's the likely him scoring five times? He scored five times But what do you but what do you do? What do you do then? What do you do defensively? Do you keep going down there? He possibly because the gun five times He probably might score two or three Jason Tatum might get a foul now. We got Jason Tatum fouling

Gafford Gafford when he won when those files need to be used on Luke and Kyrie We never see if okay Never see but they did they That's what adjusted for in the playoffs if if not Then then if they're gonna keep it the same way they might as well not even fucking show up because they might as well So they can't Because I listen I'm all I'm all for about the before they can't do shit No, no, no, I'm gonna tell you what it came to winning. No, they can't if they're gonna keep saying that shit

Nick wait nobody suggested that shit. Oh, yeah If you were fucking listen for a second Please tell me fuck you will fucking listen instead of just fucking... Pick and roll, throw it to him and then... No, not pick and roll. So you use your words, motherfucker. You want to listen to my words or you want to use your fucking words? Tell me. Tell me what are you saying? Just because you're getting loud,

I'm making your shit right. Because you're not listening. All right. You and all the rest of these niggas, y'all niggas listen to respond instead of listening to what the fuck we're saying. Brother knowledge shit. Brother knowledge. Y'all niggas listen just to respond. Y'all niggas listen to respond instead of listening to what the fuck we're saying. All this brother knowledge shit. Brother knowledge. Y'all niggas listen just to respond.

Y'all niggas listen to respond. Everybody listen, brother. Ain't y'all niggas listening to respond. Brother knowledge. I didn't want to be brother knowledge. Ain't nobody trying to be your brother. I'm trying to get a point across. Nigga, that's all.

You niggas listen to respond. Tell us the art. What is your point? For what? Talking to a brick wall for what? Yeah, because of what you're saying. I don't know. Talking to a brick wall. This is what I had to deal with. Talking to a brick wall for what? Yeah, because of what you're saying. Talking to a brick wall.

And this is what I had to deal with. Talking to a brick wall for what? He does have a USC hat on, so I don't know what the expectation is. No, I'm just fucking around. Go ahead. Exactly. That's what I agree with when he's saying I got a brick wall. You're not listening.

No, he's saying, listen. You're not listening. Okay. It's an adjustment. I don't like the adjustment. They play basically four out, one down, right? So they got the two shooters in the corner. They got Kyrie on the side.

So usually what Dallas' whole office is is Gaffer comes up and pick and roll, right? And then they play that way. So now you said doing a pick and roll. Tatum. Once again, shut up and let him talk. Let him talk. You got Tatum. Tatum't want to get shut up and let him talk So gap let him talk you guys Tatum Tatum is sticking god damn right so in gap There's no one Gafford runs up when so when Gafford runs up they can just switch no wonder you motherfucker single So when when Gafford is down there?

Take him he's not gonna do what we're saying is when Gafford's down there Just hurry up Hurry up and quick throw it to him because Tatum has not guarded him. And I'm saying, go score it. If you do that a couple times, maybe they say, Horford, you go get Tatum. Tatum, you go back to Wasson Ame. Now when that happens,

Gaffer, go do the pick and roll. Now we get to do the pick and roll, then Luka get to beat Luka. If they do not do that, Dallas is not going to be able to score because Boston is not coming out of their defense. Their defense is going to be the same way, which means if they stay the same way, Kyrie is going to struggle trying to do the same thing because everything is a switch. Luka is going to be the same thing. We're just going to switch everything.

And I'm saying that's fool's gold. But what I'm saying is you have to try the fool's gold, and maybe he might score four in a row, and then we can switch, and then Luka can get off, and then they might switch back. But if you do not go to Gafford down there, and you just allow him being athletic and tall just to sit there like this, and Tatum is just sitting there like this too, shit, you're going to go in there, pick a row, so they can switch? Other than that, Tatum just be sitting there like this.

Same shit y'all was saying with Gold bird. They don't throw it to him Why would you throw it to Gaffer down there? He's a little bit better school. You got a better chance We got better a little bit better better than a little bit. Yes who time the so we talked about defensive offense here What you just want to bring up for time you want to I'm saying it's all the? What I'm saying is, what I'm saying is, it's chess. It's chess at this point.

You didn't let the nigga talk. You listened and talked during the whole time he was trying to explain to you. Like I said, it's chess. What I'm saying is, it's chess.

You didn't listen once again. I don't care on any universe. I'm not rolling with Gaffer. You didn't listen once again. I don't care. You didn't listen once again. I'm not going to listen to you talking about Gaffer scoring in the post. You didn't listen once again. The'm not going to listen to you talking about Gaffer scoring in the post.

You didn't listen once again. The shit going in one ear out the other. Like we did. Jason King with a camera threw the fucking notebook at the... You can't ever come to me with some shit like that. You fired. Mark Cuban don't make them decisions no more. Mark Cuban don't make them decisions no more.

I would kick the kickboard. Mark Cuban don't make them decisions no more. You'm going to kick the kickboard. The boy like this. Mark Cuban don't make them decisions no more. You're going to be next with him. He don't make them decisions no more. Look, I can tell you this right now. You're coming to me with some Gafford shit, you're getting fired. As of right now, the way they have, see, even Gafford, 14 minutes. You can't play him, so you can't play him.

Lively is, right now is the same way. Your attribute on what you're good at kind of hurts you too Yeah, and then you got max one. Yeah, then they throw him out back for no he is pointless. He's pointless Fuck no reason that point over yes He but no reason Cleveland's pointless for no not Clybur because he's a shooter. He's a shooter whose shoulder hurts Yeah, I got on fuck. Yeah, I don't you gotta fuck me Gotta leave on one and a pad on the other. What the fuck is that? He got fucked up shoulders, though. I mean, what's so funny is I noticed that in the first game

because the ball was swinging to him. He's wide open. Didn't even look at the rim. Then he just swung it. Swung it right back, right? So I'm just thinking, does he just do picks and he's, oh, his shoulder's messing up. Then why the fuck is he in the game?

Sweep. Right? He shouldn't even be in the game because he's not a threat. So now you have Gafford you got lively they must have told him games more like this ball come your way shoot it because they got all right game to He motherfucking shot that bitch. I'm like yo man At this point this kid at this point. They might as well just say a hardy get in. You know, he's green get in because They will at least be aggressive.

I can't have nobody playing 20, not today. So you might as well go at the 5. Derrick Jones at the 4. You might as well just go switch everything. Go everything. Because at least you got five people attacking. Because right now, you're playing really sometimes three on five. Got to throw Tim Hardaway out there. I know Tim didn know Tim like you got to tell Tim me out there man. Like even like oh shoot

Yeah, I need somebody to shoot. He gonna shoot that bitch make a miss. Oh Tim. Yeah, don't shoot It's like I need money for sure. He gonna he gonna let that bitch go He's gonna and they're gonna they're gonna go out that they're gonna perk they're gonna like right now They're not even guarding some of these dudes. They're gonna per they're gonna like right now. They're not even guarding some of these dudes Sweet ain't guarding. Yeah In the finals when we swept the Cleveland shit me the worst is another sweet this Instrumental in the man the part of the last week now, it's another sweet no matter what shit y'all say it's a sweet Yeah, no, no, I mean it's over with it's another sweep no matter what shit y'all say it's a sweet. No, no I mean it's over with it's About throwing the gaffer to go for 30 on the motherfucker. Oh you got somebody

Young fella played 11 minutes got eight shots. Ooh Hardy hard to guard damn dope or dog food. Yeah, like I mean before for eight But I'm saying he got eight he got he got eight shots up He's the third leading scorer on a team and he played 11 minutes. That's the problem because you talk about game one or game two You tell me game one game one one How many did you take game two play two minutes game? game two. Oh, game two, two minutes? Life is starting to settle in. Rob, yeah, you got to put your, you got to. Life.

Well, they need to make some, whatever it is, they need to make some jokes on both sides of the ball. So let me ask you this, Gil. When, I haven't seen J.K. and them run one possession a zone. I ain't seen them. They scared. I understand. OK, scared, cool.

Cool, be terrified. I'm fucking terrified, too, that the motherfuckers going to score. So therefore, therefore I'm gonna switch some shit up terrified that keep giving them the same diet of the same shit each possession out of timeouts they ain't did nothing they ain't press they ain't trap the first pass they ain't do it nothing different and play the motherfuckers the exact same way each and every possession well they ain't press all playoffs yeah but you got to do.

My thing is give them a different look at some point, man. Something different. Even with ATO or something. The problem with the zone against them is they already play five out. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You know what I mean? They already play five out. Okay, surprise them with it.

Fine, they play five out. Good. Surprise them with it. Right? That's all I'm saying. Come out of timeout. Okay, surprise them with it. Fine, they play 5-out. Good. I agree with that. Surprise them with it. Right? That's all I'm saying. Come out of timeout. They got the ball. Run the zone.

Make them call a zone play so we can just give them a different look, man. Something different. Okay, they can score off the possession. I don't give. Give me something different. Right? That's all. You throw the first pass.

I'm going to trap it. Do something. Surprise somebody. Like, for Dallas Dallas they need a Pg I think PJs realize that he can be aggressive. Yeah, right. I think I don't think Derek has realized like for y'all to even have a chance you have to be effect you have to be Aggressive what you are a fake and go and what you are. Yeah, they're not that Dry that motherfucker, fake, and go. And what you are. Yeah, they're... Not that three-point... You're all coming your way dry, that motherfucker, right?

Just go. Just attack. His ears are being told not to do it. So his mentally is like... Yeah. That's what happens when a corner nigga's on. But this is... But this is when you look at the bench. This is when you look at the bench and say... See who you got over there that's gonna do it. They can't sub me. This is when

you get to look. You can't sub me. You're looking over your shoulder. You can't sub me. Who you gonna you get to look. You can't sub me. When you're used to looking over your shoulder. You can't sub me. Who you gonna sub in? Who you gonna sub in? See this, you know, you're used to looking over your shoulder. It's the same thing that we said, right? The last series we talked about, where they played well.

He feel he got to make all the right plays. We were saying that it looks like J. Kidd gave them confidence to go out and be them and be who they are and play their style of a game in order to Help the team be where they are they doing it PJ did yes yesterday, but Jones but what he's most I think you be athletic man Most airport listen most our points coming in like when when PJ was scoring

it's like in fast break and secondary fast break, right? It's not part of the plays, right? So when they have to set up their offense, that is just Luka and Kyrie. So even when Kyrie scored, he's only scoring really on fast break. When they're out, everyone's moving, then he gets to attack. When the defense has set all five back there They're struggling. We got to keep guys on the lane Randall back screens from live He got one live is like Derek Jones. He's an athlete

You got to use him for what he likely run the play make the light once put him in the fucking chin action Throw that he do gotta respect that my father because he don't all I'm gonna be there's gonna be a fake to Drew's here. I'm doing, this is going to be a fake two. Drew's here. I'm going to do a double pin down there. I'm going to dribble at Drew, backdoor. Because he's going to help. Backdoor the fuck out of him first. Get him out of there.

He's going to help. Because he's going to overjump it anyway, so you backdoor the hell out of Drew. Get a layup. You know what I mean you have to be able to target instincts and people right target yeah I'm with you like

most of them most are ball watchers which means ball watchers so that means you can back door the hell out of them right you can back door like J kid I'm telling you right now go back and watch the indiana series watch tj he was so aggressive in scoring off of backdoor layups he backdoored

the hell out of just move around coming because he knows after he moves, they stop. Then he's going to come back and score. Just have your guard keep moving because what Drew wants to do is net up everything. So that means while he's trying to fit here and try to figure out what's going on,

go around him. Pop out. Do something. Backdoor Jalen. Get an easy layup. You can backdoor the hell out of this group because they're just focused on the ball. They're focused on Luka, which means backdoor. You remember, like, we want somebody to play hard. Deny me. Please do. We look for the first person that does that.

All right, we're going to double backdoor. I'm going to backdoor. Four is out, man. Four is out, backdoor. Backdoor, backdoor. Backdoor, backdoor, back door Hours out back door back door back door back door back door shit Everybody getting back doors one of y'all gonna get caught trying to buy this ball Absolutely, right at that wing my dribble dead at you But where they like this this is the So high But that's what I'm saying. They're gonna have have to say, all right, we're going to do.

It's a double pick on the way. It's a double. We're going to create a double pick on this side, and we're going to dribble towards Drew and backdoor the hell out of him. On the weak side. It's all it is. It's like it's going to dribble at them up. Even, but what I'm saying is even, even, even, what was that?

Pinch post play? Or even when two guards come together? Yes, the split action. Oh, I remember that shit. They just both, like, I'm looking at, like, yo, Even was that pinch post play or even when two guards come together? They just both like I'm looking at like yo y'all know if y'all screen action One is still fighting over the other one. I'm looking at if I'm coming down and my man looks like he about to fight over I'm the one that's back door. They don't even know how to do that I'm sitting here like yo back door., my God. Y'all both just scrittin' pop. Both of them pop. Both of them poppin'. Like, yo, one back door, the other one comes off with a handoff.

Those are the rules. You should watch it. That's the way the rules used to be. Warriors offense. Yeah, Warriors offense. Warriors offense. But it's too late, though. For sure, for Kyrie.

But they wonder why Warriors, or they get open so much. Man. Because they realize that y'all don't know how realize that because y'all don't run these plays, y'all don't know how to defend these plays. And mostly people don't play the second play. They always play the first play. Yeah, they relax. That's why Steph, he be all in the mother guard stuff.

He move, move, move. He pass that bitch to motherfuckers. As soon as you get ready to exhale, boom. Yeah, you let go of him. You breathe as soon as he see y'all he got like that's you get confused but that's why i said that's why when i'm looking at it i'm like then why they moving over here is it's like it's like hey they they really think y'all just stupid like that's all i can just come up with, that y'all come down every play and you go to that corner, you go to

that corner, you on this side, you take your big ass down here. Come up here and pick and roll. We're gonna do this. Luka's not moving. We did 86 plays and 70 of them was Luka with the pick and roll. Means, means, y'all

are so not educated on basketball where it's like all right sub in go to the corner hey sub in go to the corner because mostly usually those super talented kids they couldn't pick up the offense they couldn't play now it's like we want to play them yeah but you know we can't run no plays for them so we just put them on the court and just sit in the corner and that's what the offense looks like. They're posted in the corner. Don't touch the ball. They sit there and just be posted.

You know how stupid you got to be for you to run down at every goddamn play in the same corner, not being part of the offense. You know how dumb coach got to think you are for you to know, all right, corner All right, corner. Defense. Corner. Defense. That's the style of their offense.

But when you think about it, like everybody. I haven't seen Luka run off screens and shit. I've never seen it. That's what I'm saying. Like I used to be mad at James Harden, like, yo, James Harden doing that. Then I had to realize it's not hard. Y'all don't know how to do any other players or shit. Y'all go to the corner. Let him do every motherfucking thing.

Just let him do it all, and y'all just sit there getting ready for the play. That's all it is now. One-four flat. Niggas in the corner. One-four flat. Sit in the corner. Catch his grenade. Play defense.

Your job is to play defense and sit in the corner. That shit's funny as shit. Let's move it on. Like when you really break a down, just run in the corner. Just fast breaking. Now I ain't going to let you disrespect all the corner niggas. They not, hold on. That's the coaches, nigga.

Hold on. They not, no, no. You got to change your podcast. You act like we can just run up and take the corner. No, no, no, no. Y'all are not, no, no. I'm going to just be honest. I just realized that. Your corner is different. No, your corner. Your corner. Y'all are not. No, no. I'm going to just be honest. I just realized that.

Your corner is different. No, your corner and Nate's corner is different corners. There's two different corners. You're not a corner. These are some corner boys for damn sure. What do you want them to do? You had plays. They don't have no plays.

There's no play that they have. What do you want Jones to do? I don't give a hell what it is, but you can post up. You can dive. You can. There is. There's no way. Luka's doing this.

Luka's got to go down, spin, spin, pump. You in the way if you cut. What I'm saying, the corner dudes back in the day. You got to sit your ass and watch Luka. If he passes to you, oh, shit. The six men back in the day, when they got in, they had an offense. Yeah, they did have an offense. But they had their own plays that had nothing to do with us.

But back then, there wasn't no ISOs like that. But I'm saying this, but you had plays here. When they warm up for the game, there ain't no plays they need to. When they in the summer, when summertime hit, when they summertime hit, all they really need to do is just work on corner shooting because there's nothing else going on for them. Defensive slides. Defensive slides. Defensive slides. Oh, that's all they really need to do is just work on corner shooting, because there's nothing else going on for them. That's all they do. Defensive slides, defensive slides.

Defensive slides and corner. Oh, that's all they do? Defensive slides and threes. Wait, hold on. Yes, dog. Defensive slides and threes. You telling me. If you're on the contract with the team for three years, right?

And you know what you're supposed to do? Sitting in the corner. Corner three, nigga. Hey, you a D? A 3 and D guy. And you should do it every, like, it cold sometimes, because you won't touch it for like three years. Hey, you're a D, a 3 and D guy. And you should do it every like, it cold sometimes, cause you won't touch it. Hey, let me ask you a question.

PJ don't, Tucker don't take this the wrong way homie. Nah, I fuck with you. What you think PJ Tucker worked on in some? Oh, defensive slides and- Not even defensive slides. What you think he worked on? Corner trees? Yeah.

Fuck he gonna do? What else was he gonna, what else? Like even with- What else else Him and maybe some free throws What else if I'm PJ Tucker Right For the last 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 years What other shots Have I gotten in the game

So what am I gonna spend my time In the gym I'm not finna go work on post-ups. He do layers. I'm not finna go do no fucking mic and drill. He do layers. He do mic and drills to get the ball out the net. Then take it out and pass that ball. That is the drill. He's doing it now.

Roll it on the floor and dive on the floor. I need to be able to shoot a high clip, right? That's what the thought process is, right? That's what I'm trying to wrap my brain around if I'm spending all summer Sitting shooting corner threes, and that's what my game. That's all I'm doing and I'm sitting in the 30s But let me get it so 35 36 30 No, cuz it's often against all you don't just get corner three. I don't give a fuck how you do this corner three three

Motherfuckers your spot Perfected I'm gonna fuck if you need to do this spin around you KD one lady jump out of bounds and about perfect this So I'm gonna give you something to put more off. So I'm gonna give you another one, right? to add on to what You can't make none shooters great shoes you can't don't give how much how much time you spend in that bitch shooting dog it ain't got nothing to do with this it's your depth perception it's all kind of shit that's involved with shooting so therefore. It's touch and all that shit. So therefore, you can spend all day, listen,

I can be the best when that shit, listen, I can go eight for ten, head spot. In that game, we all get that. I'm not a good shooter. But see, that's the difference. It's... Thousands. It's volume.

I've watched NBA, the new NBA workout, even when I was playing. Right? Ten shots, ten hits. That is not shooting, dog. You a corner shooter, if I'm working, I'm in the summer, right there, all 1,000 shots. You shooting 1,000 a day, 1,000 on that side. Tomorrow,

1,000 on that side, right? This is not 25, 25, 25. That is not that. You're not going to get better at that. You got to at least, you have to shoot value. Yeah. You got to shoot hundreds of shots each spot.

Like 500 makes. I would ask the question, I don't mean to keep bringing him up, but PJ, how many shots did you shoot when you was at your, how many did you shoot from corners? I don't know the number. I'm pretty sure it was a lot. You probably shoot. Oh, you're gonna ask me Yeah, because I would want to know like the questions like cuz I'm pretty like that's what he did in practice That's what he didn't work. But that's all this boy. Huh? That's all I'm a just was born in San Antonio. Mm-hmm People was told us from afar and told them, if you shoot anything else other than that.

The corners, yeah. That's right, because Bruce Warren was the first person that didn't shoot nothing else but corner threes and played defense. He's the original. But you got to put yourself in their shoes, Gil. If you touching the ball more, you're going to get the feel for it. If I'm just sitting my ass like this waiting for you to pass the ball and you don't pass and I run back and just play defense,

mentally I'm like, I might not get the ball this time. So you don't know when you're going to get the shot. You act like you're just going to shoot every time. You might get five shots a game, ten, one. You sit there waiting. There's no rhythm. But what I'm saying is. And then you get blamed because, nigga, make-1. You sit there waiting. There's no rhythm. But what I'm saying is... And then you get blamed because, nigga,

make the motherfucker. If I'm not in rhythm, it's hard to... What I'm saying is this is when just... Listen. You can't do... We played adult league, right? Which means they didn't give us the ball, right? Which means we gotta

do everything else. We gotta move and do this, right? Which means we got to do everything else, right? We got to move and do this, right? Backdoor, set the screen, give it to the big man. We got to get the offensive rebound because sprint out real fast because obviously he ain't going to pass it, right? It's one of those, like, he missed the shot.

I got the offensive rebound knowing I can't go back up with it because he's going to cuss me out. Even though his ass just missed it, I got to give it him he can't shoot but he's the lead he's the captain right sometimes you pull off the rebounds that's when you can shoot it back but that translated to understand okay Luca this is how you play Kyrie this is how you play I'm a corner dude my dude ain't looking at me there's some that means I need to try to duck in, get a little easy. You know, Lucas coming down here, my guys looking, go for the lob. Like, make myself a part of the offense without being.

I know the offense. You got to know the offense so well. I got to know Lucas so well where I can do something and then not interrupt anything. Right? And that's literally how... But that's... You got to... Because you're asking me if I go back through

and not bring my man to you, niggas got cussed out for that shit. Yeah, I was about to say that, too. I was about to say that, too. They might watch film. Get your motherfucking ass over there in that corner. Why you bring your man to me? But you got to know...

But I'm saying... But what I'm saying is you got to know... But you have to know the tendency. So, fuck'm saying is you got to know, but you have to know the tendency. So, fuck the defense. I got to know my teammates so well that I can do stuff and it don't go away from the game. Like with Tatum, right? I know if Tatum going left, he's passing, right? Because for some reason, when he's going left, he can't just jump like that.

So, that means he's going to be so unathletic, he's going to pass. So I know how to move around his movements. No, no, same thing with Jalen Brown. I know if Jalen Brown is going left, he's going to come back right. So if I was going to get ready to cut and he started left, when he turns right, I fucked that up. Me, I messed it up because I went into his play. So I have to know those guys so well to know how

to do things to get open. That's funny. I like going left doing that. I like going right doing it. Jay Graham go left doing it. Yeah, because he wants to go back right. He's trying to get back right. Yeah, he's got to get back right. You talk about Tatum and Brown. Let's hit on them a little bit. So Jason Tatum's average is 17 points,

10 rebounds, 9 assists, close to a triple-double canyon in the NBA Finals through two games. Very good stats, very admirable. 17, 10, and 9 assists so far in the Finals. So I have to point out, he hasn't scored over 20 points in either of these first two Finals games, but the Celtics are 4-0 this postseason when Tatum scores under 20. So after Game 2, Tatum was asked about his first two games in the finals, had this to say. It has a lot to do with that.

You know, I've been here before and we didn't win. And it's just like, you know, we're so close to what we're trying to accomplish. Why would I let my ego or my need to score all the points get in the way of that um you know there are going to be times where you know i need to score and obviously i need to shoot better godly um but you know really we always talk about do whatever it takes for however long it takes um and if i need to have 16 potential assists every single night, and that's what puts us in the best position to win, and it doesn't mean I'm the leading scorer,

by all means, if that gives us the best chance to win, sign me up. So, first thing I want to address, Tatum said himself that he needs to shoot better, adding a golly. I'm sure that was in reference to going 6 for 22 from the field. Of course, I would have said it, too, if I looked at the paper. I would have said, damn, I was 6 for 22, but it don't matter, though. I missed that many shots.

But Jason Tatum, fan of Gills Arena, sure was watching the show, heard Josiah mention that and was like, yeah, I would have mentioned that as well if I was in a hosting position and not playing in the NBA Finals. No, I'm just kidding. But we talk about Tatum's impact being bigger in the scoring, defense, dimes, rebounding, having more of an impact than just scoring. But when you look around, if you're the Mavs, how concerned would you be that after two games in the NBA Finals, Jason Tatum, for his standards,

sixth in MVP voting, first team all-NBA, not playing up to his level, and we've taken two L's. Listen, right now, you know, I don't think Dallas is, at this point, they shouldn't be worrying about what Boston is going through, right? They got to fix, they got to worry about them themselves, right? Focusing on Boston at this point is irrelevant. This is, we got to get our shit together to even make this a thing. We can't worry about what Jason and

him... You better worry about that man Tatum. Better worry about that. No, what I'm saying is that's a whole other issue. Right now the issue we have right now is we got to address. We got to figure out what is, how can we get Kyrie going? How can we get these other guys going? That is the real concern of Dallas.

Sitting there watching a whole bunch of plays of the defense of Boston right now is not going to help. Because you stopping them and you stopping the main player still losing by damn near 20. Right? So Let's not worry about them. How do we score enough to keep up when he doesn't play? Well, but you also have to know going into games three and four the likelihood of him not having a 30 piece in at least One if not both of these games it's gonna happen. It's coming He was trying to get it. He was taking enough shots. Good looks, a couple tough ones, but

he's missing very capable shots. He's missing very capable shots that we normally see Jason Tatum make. If I had to tell him one thing, a couple things, is the shots, you're taking

the least high presented shots when you're taking the least high presented shots when you do take a shot, right? I think the shots he's taking, even though they're makeable, they're harder than they're supposed to be. I got you. You have a guard on you, right? Do a pick and roll with a big.

You got a non-factor defensive guy on you to take a sidestep three. Now, if you was planning on taking a three, take the three on the dude who's not athletic enough to challenge the shot. You take the three on the smaller guy. Don't get gaffered on you to take a sidestep to get a goddamn guy who got bounced because he damn near blocking your shot. Block one of them. Yeah, don't do the pick and roll to take the same jump.

Take him. Rule of thumb, just a simple rule of thumb. Bigger means slower unless he's a freak of nature. Take him. Smaller, shoot it. Right? So just that right there because it seems like it's backwards. Right?

It's a backwards thing. Like these sidestep shots that you're taking, your side step on the left, that only, it's very high if the guy is smaller. And you got it going. Because you're going right, he's on your shooting side. So if he has any type of length, it kind of bothers your shot since you pull it down here. Right? Little things like that when you do have it on the post If you're if your back is to them you get to do this right so he'd be like in that mid post area right

Slash for the free throw and then he tries to do the back down wrong Turn and face once you turn and face can't touch Right so the same spot if I do this he gets to use his strength now it becomes who's stronger if I turn all the way in face and I'm sitting here right there they can't do nothing now now you can take your time see what everything's doing one dribble you're already at the rim right so there's just these little things where I'm like you're making it harder. Like, even when he goes right, there was plenty of times where

he has it, and you're already, he's driving to pass versus shot. The shot is secondary. So, right, he's coming in, and then he's trying to swoop up. No, dog, just lay that motherfucker right, just right in front of the rim. There's, Gafford ain't there, right? Those are

smaller guys, and they're not out there trying to actually bop their shot. Just finish in front. Jalen, remember I said it. If you want to win a BB, just drive. There's nobody back there. Jason Tatum don't shoot a lot of free throws, so he's not attacking.

We read the stat in Lucas shot 200 and something more free throws than Jason Tatum during the regular season. They don't know how to get fouled. Both of them. As good a scorer as he is, that's amazing. So

what he is, he's a shot maker. He's a jump shot maker. But to be a scorer, you got to know how to get fouled. You got to know how to use your body. So to be so athletic, it's weird that when he's driving, he's at the least of his athleticism. Right? It's like he's going in and it's like he's not extending to try to jump on anybody.

He's like, you know, it's like, you know, it's like, it's very, he's very small. He's not athletic. So, like, if he did jump, like, when he tried to jump on, dunk on Gafford, if you, if Gafford wasn't there, he was airballing. He wouldn't have missed it. If you wouldn't have hit the rim, you would have airballed because I know what you were thinking, but you didn't drive like you were trying to dunk on him. No. You didn't drive. You didn't actually just go up there like, yeah, I see the lane, I'm about to

monkey dunk on you. And that might be just training. That's just training. When you're training, that skill right there where he's lacking, that is part of training where when you're coming in the lane, it'd be this shit right here. I don't know. We've seen

that though. It'd be this shit. Half court to three point line is where all my moves come in at, right? And then when I get it, and then I just drive straight to the rim and dunk it. Boo! Boo! In the game, it's flipped.

All this space is free, motherfucker. Them cones need to be inside because that's where the people are. So now, if the brain is used to just flying When these people start moving around you start Yeah, and you don't know how to put the cones there now you come in shoot boom now jump. Oh shit Right that's where that come you need to train your body to think Explosive in this scenario and it seemed like it's not. And that's

just drills and just getting repetition of moving, spinning, then when you spin go up and try to dunk it. I think he just got more comfortable with the jump shots. When he first came in, you forgot he dunked on LeBron and shit. He's still athletic.

But he just got so comfortable. As you get older, you get comfortable going to your go-to's too much. And making shots. Yeah. So I said this about a dude I played with in college, Melvin Leavitt. Somebody said, what happened to Melvin Leavitt? I said, he started making threes. Yeah.

I said, what you mean? I said, he started making threes. Yeah. The most athletic motherfucker I've ever seen. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Stopped attacking the basket, stopped doing what,

like, Mel could, like, so they were like, damn, what you, like, people like, and they thought about it, it was like, damn, like, Mel made, like, 10 threes in one game.

Mm-hmm. So it was... It was a wrap. It was a wrap. Now I'm a shooter. It doesn't happen in towns and shit. Right? So now I'm a shooter.

Once towns started in threes, it was over. Man, you're posting up no more because shit, right? So now I'm a shooter. What's town starting three? Oh, hey, you know because now I gotta get now I gotta perfect this now I didn't did that now people expecting me to man. So now I spent all my time doing Instead of yeah, right. Yeah crazy, but Jason Taylor was still MVP He should have been VP of the regular season should be MVP of the fine easy killer Nick you saying right now after two games, which you see from J's head most important person in the world okay, he could do with Laura door, but They got 14. There's Luca had this team. He'll be out there going 17 for 87 for 18 to shit

You don't have to do what look good do he could do everything Right now the narrative and discourse around Tatum is that he's disappearing in some of these games Seven for 18, too. Shit. He don't have to do what Luke could do. He could do everything. He got a team. Right now, the narrative and discourse around Tatum is that he's disappearing in some of these games. I'm just saying. That's what they want to say. From non-basketball scholars. They want to... Don't let him do it, Tatum.

Don't let him fuck you up. So if the Celtics end up winning this series, let's say sweeping or gentlemen sweeping, and he's putting up a similar stat line to what he's putting up now, how much does that impact his reputation moving forward? He's going to average 18, 10. That nine, because they play a couple more games,

because them stats, that makes it $10 easy. That nine, you know what I'm saying? That's nine. He can fucking around and have 13 assists. Now he's having a triple-double without even having one. So for you guys as hoopers, appreciate that, but I think people aren't wowed by it. Oh, he should be putting up 30 and all that other.

We're winning. Yes, absolutely. That's because we have custom to see that in here and Jason Tatum got 35 consistently and things like that, right? Yes to seeing that like It doesn't matter if they're winning though. That's a couple years ago. It feels couple years ago when it was just him and Jalen when they had have supporting cast I'm not having 29 to 36 is a damn issue. Now you got 26 from him, 20 from him, 13 from him, 17, consistent from Derek White.

It's a different animal now, right? For sure. But this is why the media who never played basketball is sometimes a problem, right? When someone shoots too much and it doesn't lead to wins, you talk bad about them. When they sacrifice and they do get the win, you talk about them, right?

The most talked-about negative team was the best team. So the team that only lost two games, you pick on them, how terrible they are, how this guy. That's the best team, and you're figuring out how to run a bad narrative around a team who's dominating. That's the weirdest shit I've ever seen. I thought the job was whatever it takes to win, do.

Right? So my shit ain't working right now. My shit is off. I got to tweak it, send it to the mechanic. But right now, I'm passing and rebounding. But that ain't good enough for you. Like he said, whatever it takes, for long as it takes. And that's allounding. But that ain't good enough for you. Like he said, whatever it takes for long as it takes. And that's all it, but that's the thing.

Right? Shout out to that suit, man. Jason Tate won't worry about nothing anymore. I was just gonna be honest, that look like WNBA. So can you put that shit back up? Hey, I said it look like a robe. Man, man, that ain't bad. I asked you if it was a bathrobe.

I was like, that look like one of those. You look sharp. Yeah, I'm just be honest, that looked like, you know, something. Look at that man, Noah. Business casual. Look at that handsome-ass light-skinned man. I know, I'm just saying. Suit like this.

Look at him. I get where he was going. I got a problem with it being double-breasted. Yeah, it is double-breasted. But still, it's technically good. I'm just being honest with you, Keith. I don't even know what the fuck that means. I just know that suit look a little

About other life issues. Yeah, give it a whole different look if it was a regular suit him having to chain on what? I don't know if you had a white beat or no shirt, whatever you did. I get through the final do what you want You should've wear my fucking open. I can't wear it open if it's a double breasted. But it is. And that's a bad answer? You can't wear it open if it's double breasted. Oh. You can't.

Double breasted, you gotta button it. Oh, like a waist trainer. Oh, he got a button up waist trainer. Oh, got it. Got it. That's what it gives. That's the, yeah. Let's move this thing forward.

Yes, Gilbert. We gotta talk about a situation that happened after game one. So Jason Kidd was asked, what makes going up against Jalen Brown so challenging? And he said this. Well, Jalen's the best player. So just looking at what he does defensively, he picked up Luka full court.

He got to the free throw line. He did everything, and that's what your best player does, just understanding he plays both sides, defense and offense, at a high rate. And he's been doing that the whole playoffs. I mean, we talk about the Eastern Conference MVP, and it seems like he's continued to pick up where he left off. So, Kanan, you spent a number of years playing with Jason Kidd and your teammate. I think you're very familiar with his basketball psychology.

Do you think Kidd was playing mind games or really believes Jalen Brown is the best player on the Celtics? Probably some of both. The way he made it sound there, there's no acknowledgement for Tatum. Yeah. Jalen Brown ain't the best player yet. You know, that's why he ain't the best player. No, he definitely is a cycle.

Yeah, he's a mind game. If you listen to how he's describing it, right, yes, right, he's saying both sides picking up full court, doing this, right? He's using it in a term of the all-around player, right? Baseball, Derek Jeter, right? He's saying this guy does a little bit of everything, which means he is the best player. Right? We're not talking the star player of the team.

We're talking about, there's not A-Rod. He's Derek Jeter. He does a little bit of everything. I don't know. Because I can tell you this. His defense doesn't say Jalen Brown is the best player. His defense don't say what he's saying. When Tatum has the ball them motherfuckers are shifting over

they also even leaving Jalen Brown to go double when Jalen Brown is straight one on one I didn't see him leave Brown shit you crazy as hell man they not eight nine times every time Brown drove no drove

when Tatum is trying to move everybody's tracking him the whole team is tracking him. He is being doubled. When Brown has the ball, it's straight one-on-one. Play one-on-one. If he can get back to his right, goddammit, shit. But Luka, you got Luka.

Who's guarding him? Luka. Your worst defender is guarding him. My worst defender is guarding him. And we're not even going to double. There's a reason. Well, because I say Luka could play D now after the playoffs. What was that?

That was the discord leading into the final. Everybody said Luka could play defense now. But if you're watching a game when both sides has the ball, you can clearly see. When Tatum has the ball, they're flooding over. They're going to tag on the other side. When he's trying to post up, Lively or Gafford is going to tag on the other side.

Everybody's going to drop. If Brown is in the ISO, it's just straight up. Because I'm pretty sure he wants to get back to his right keep him left right uh keep him keep him to his left right and he's going to try whatever to do to get back and just stay in front of him because he might throw that bitch out of band right yeah so you know that you can see the game plan they're not they're not doubling brown for for him to say that but as a overall bringing into the game how he's playing picking up full court you being in that yes he means it but he means he's at and he's playing mind games yeah that's why I said both I would you sure very much mean it but he

is definitely playing my game let me just hear in the way talk for sure the narrative on the team all year and for the last couple years is the title The Browns like if we didn't what I'm saying is if we didn't look at if we didn't look at No names and we didn't know and we had to look at and say who is the The scariest person by how the defense is playing then it'll show you okay, right? So, you know if if if double Jalen Brown, Tatum gets off, right? So everybody's beat. There's a reason he's averaging that many assists, right? Because they're doubling someone's open.

Jalen Brown won't average that many assists because every time he gets the ball, he gets to just go, and that's his job. Keep motherfucking attacking. Yeah. Keep attacking. Take advantage. If they don't want to double you or nothing, take advantage of your man.

That is the point. If they want to spit two people on me and load up, everybody, just do it. Let's get the win. We get our ring. Whoever they get that motherfucking final, it don't matter. I'm a champion now, and you get to put respect on it. That is the point, right? The narrative, who is the best player?

We know who the best player is. Yeah, because the best player is not getting left off of any all-NBA team. I'm just saying, that's why it's a mind game, right? That's why it's like... But does that matter? Does the regular season stuff matter now in the playoffs and in the finals? Yes. Yes.

Right. I have to stop one person, right? The scouting board. The scouting board. I have to stop somebody, right? So who is capable of scoring fucking 50 here? They both are, though. But you know what he means.

I know what you mean. But, yeah, for sure. And that's how I look at it. I just watch the game, and then I'm just seeing, like, what you're doing is this is your advantage because the focus here, take advantage of it. Because game three, it might shift, and they might say, oh, we're going to play everybody straight up,

and then that's going to shift. Like, this is part of the game. But you can see the lows up. You can see how it's played. But Jason, everybody's doing their part to win their first. This is their of the game. But you can see the lows up. You can see how it's played. But Jason, everybody's doing their part to win their first. This is their first championship. Individual shit at this point should be irrelevant for a group who's been, the way y'all have done it, y'all lost.

So, you know what I mean? So, you know, trying to go through doubles and triple teams, that's, you don't have the team to do that. So you guys said a little bit of mind game, a little bit of other side. So Drew Holiday initially agreed with Kidd, said, I don't think he's lying. Had glowing praises for Jay LeBron.

After game two, he had to clarify. He said, I'm not picking one over the other. Yeah, that's what I mean. That's why it's the mind game. But, you know, even Drew got caught up in his savvy vet. But it's no different than right now. It's like who's another team that has this type of situation where one is an offensive player.

It's like having a Paul George and a James Harden on the team. One is more offensively set, and the other one is a little bit of both. Right? So when you put the value He's a two-way player, but it is in the playoffs right now It's like I say it's like you know how like Drake and Kendrick right now Jalen Brown It's more Kendrick right now than JT Drake Kendrick your cousin as well name We just have to but but I get it but yeah

But if I'm being double and you get to play one-on-one You don't run around with your chest all high talking about you But I get it. You get it, yeah. But if I'm being double and you get to play one-on-one, you don't run around with your chest all high talking about you. Nobody's saying that. I'm the new. Don't put no name on it. I'm just saying. Jalen Brown never ran around like that.

I'm just saying. But I don't like they playing to win. Yeah. I wouldn't say, hey, Jalen, you got a one-on-one matchup. Start deferring. Hell no. Hey, keep attacking. Keep doing you because right now you got the light. They're playing you one-on-one. That's a disrespect because I can tell you this. Ain't no history that I know the best player, they start off the game sagging and letting you shoot like golden state did them when draymond green was like yeah we good we're gonna let you shoot i dare you don't do that to the best player right who no jason taylor he could win listen he can win it jaylen

brown listen if jaylen brown just keeps doing what jaylen brown is going to do his percentage is going to be better right it don't matter you know what i'm saying, his percentage is going to be better, right? It don't matter. You know what I'm saying? His percentage is going to be better. Yeah. So, because how he gets to play, he gets to play, get the one. So, when everything shifts, I got you, I can go. So, that right there alone is going to put him. He's going one-on-one with somebody that's going one-on-two. Yeah, he gets it, but his.

What Drew do in game one? Drew in game one. Drew in game one. Let me pull it up. Give me a moment. Yeah, he did. Poor Zingas was really. do in game one? Drew in game one. Let me pull it up. Poor Zingas was really... 26-11 game two. In game one, Drew Holiday had 12 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists. Sir, that ain't too shabby.

Double-double and then you play consistently for the next two games. 55% from the field. It's a 130-point game. With the rebounds. But if Jalen Brown does that too, then I think that props him up. They both. What I'm saying is the thing of it is since Tatum is taking 22 shots,

when he's hitting, his 18, that goes to 30-35. And if he's hitting like that, Jalen Brown's not shooting. Yeah, for sure. Right? You know what I mean? He's not shooting them shots. Because he's not going to have 13 assists. If he had 13 assists, he's Brown's not shooting. Yeah, for sure. Right, you know what I mean? He's not shooting them shots. Because he's not going to have 13 assists. If he had 13 assists, he's going to have six.

So in this game two, Tatum took 22 shots. Jalen Brown took 15. He was eight for 15. So, but just saying. But just remember, one has, how many assists? So Tatum, 12 assists. Jalen Brown has seven. So the 12 assists, see, both of them, right?

It's, this is, I don't but at this point They it needs to be one of those things out of here. Who gives a fuck? Speaking to that point you'll have to after the game to win Shaq gave Jalen Brown some free game in regards to the ongoing Discussion to surrounding who's really the man on the Celtics squad? I'm going to give you some g14 classification information for this every last time you see me It's a riddle. Do not get fixated on useless titles. Do what you got to do.

Doesn't matter who's who or they say who's what. It ain't time for all that right now. Do what you got to do and get it done. I understand. Yes, sir. I appreciate it. That made sense to you? No. Okay. Okay, well, let me break it down. They're trying to separate you and your guy by saying who's better and who's better.

I'm saying don't worry about useless titles. Who's the man? It don't matter who the man is. Kobe's the man. Shaq's the man. It don't matter. I'm getting my 40. Kobe getting his 39.

Let's go win these championships. Yes, sir. That's what that meant. I agree with that. Yes, sir. I understand. Because since you didn't understand, I had to break it down to you. Very savvy noticing that.

Give him an additional point. Hey, because I was there and that mother average like 38 against us. So, hey. Kobe did too. It was one point off or something like that, a point. The final, it wasn't even close. Look at the stats.

I was 29. But you know what's so funny, 29. Wasn't average 30, wasn't average 39. 29 and they average 38. But that's the problem But you know what's so funny? 29. Wasn't average 30. Not 29. The nigga averaged 38. But that's the problem. Four games against us. Well, you know, that becomes a problem, though.

Shaq was busy, man. But I thought it was unstoppable. Man, Kobe averaged 30. No, no, no. But that's the thing. Think about the people who put the narrative out. I think it was like 38.

Think about the people who puts the narrative out. It's not other like 28. Think about the people who puts the narrative out. It's not other athletes. It's never other athletes saying who's better. This is all... I need to put a wedge in between.

Like, if I see two people looking like they're getting along together, hey, man, who's better? Who's the star on this team? They've done it to everybody. Right? It's never other athletes saying who's better.

Because we identify. We know who brings what to the game. Right? There's going to be, when Philly is number one, they're going to say, hey, who's really more important on this team? Is it Maxine or is it Embiid? Stop this shit. We know who the fuck. Yeah.

For sure. Yeah. They do that. But it's that. They do it. Dame, is it your team? Is it Giannis' team? Like, stop that dumb shit.

Yeah, they damn show ass every time. Every time. I think it's always got to be somebody's team, though. Because it's... Yeah. Because they want to be able to blame somebody when it fails. Yeah, absolutely. They want to blame somebody when it fails.

Oh, hey tell me 35 15 36 Oh two finals with 38 and one 18 that one of them both they won This is it What 18 that one of them both they won this it Gets us right Well, yeah, just as the one he was 2002 Yeah, we were three thousand one To 2002 who was for Indiana was first right? Yeah, like okay. So 2000 excuse me. Shaq was after the 38. Yeah, but 17 Kobe average 16 and 5 but that envy but look at the end of day curry won his first championship. He and win finals MVP. Yeah

Nobody uses that against him Who tried to that he was the media the nigga the motherfuckers who never played a game. He was mentally fucked up. We were successful trying as well. The one who has no idea about what it takes to win is sitting there critiquing everybody on Twitter.

We know how to troll. He wanted to win that bitch back. Andre Goddard, that's not his trophy, dog. It ain't. We had Andre Goddard on this very couch and he, dog. It ain't. We had Andre Goddard on this very couch and he said that the trophy is where

it's supposed to be. Of course, don't say that shit. But I'm saying, even if we have to give it to somebody, the first person who gets up for grad

is the motherfucker who averaged 30-something, 13-8. It's LeBron's trophy, to be honest. It was LeBron's real trophy. It was next, next.

Can't argue, can't argue with that? No, this is says finals MVP is it is a the winner of the team whoever the bet know this is finals Who was the best way in the finals? That's what the trophy who played the best hit? They lost all but he ever shifted and look forward to that Because I remember they was neck and neck, KD and Steph. And then Steph had one bad game

towards the end. And then my friend KD was hitting it. Locker on Steph, head was down, down in the piers. Yeah, that's what it was.

Man, he wanted to win that, but he was, and KD was trying to give it to him, like KD won the year before. So he was trying to give it to him,

but Steph couldn't make a shot. Like, I'm trying to miss, God damn it. Steph couldn't make a shot, bro. I was like, fuck I was like fuck he only hit yeah like I think the lowest he scored in the finals or some shit that game That's why when people say it was a sweep so they was like But that's what I'm saying when people say this ain't a thing man. It is a real thing man like it is man

I'm I'm this close to winning something and you don't think I'm going to go for. Of course. I'm going to sit down, but I'm going to say, oh, no, this don't mean nothing. But I took 38 shots. No, no, I was just about to win. Like, you, you was four for 38. It was game. You're trying.

I was trying. I'm not going to lie. We asked the chat, who is the Celtics' best player over 4,000 votes? 54% said Jalen Brown. 46% said Tatum. This is coming from our chat, Gil. I get it. I mean, you know.

Man. One is not an all-NBA player. One is his. Brown should have been. He should have been. They both are all-NBA. Yeah, they both are. One was first team.

No, let's be honest. Jalen Brown. Yeah, for sure. He should have been one of them all-NBA. Yeah, they both are. One was first team. No, let's be honest. Jalen Brown. Yeah, for sure. He should have been All. He should have been one of them All-NBA. It's facts. He made it last year, right? Facts.

He made it last year. That's how he got that 300. Yeah, it was facts. So he is an All-NBA player. His contract says he is All-NBA player. Trust me. What is your bread, sir? But he wouldn't have been first.

So, he wouldn't have been the first So now let's move on to mostly fans Presented by underdog crazy how this is this is fucking crazy how this is actually the narrative in our championship Don't like it's just like the fact that this is Like this is the narrative in the championship is trying to me the best play not Dallas That Dallas win or how to help Dallas the narrative is who is the best player on a team? They try anything to break out we need to start doing that between some of them who is the best one on ESPN who is the best one who ESPN? Who is the best one?

Who needs to be fired? Let them start thinking about that shit when they go to work. So, that's it. Jason Kidd deserves a blame for that. He's the one who stirred the pot.

Did notice that when Will Smith and Martin Lawrence did their press tour for Bad Boys, they did not stop by Gil's Arena presenting Modern Dog Fantasy. Y'all let us down. To be honest, in that movie, it was the first time. I'm a Will Smith guy. I like to watch it.

But it was the first time that it kind of looked like he wasn't, like, he was overacting. Right? Like, there was some scenes. It looked like it was, yeah. Like, the first,

like, it was like, ah, Martin got you on this one, man. I don't, I, it's a great movie but he ran that Jaden Brown like Martin like you you didn't expect like first and you didn't expect Martin to be good yeah like it why I killed this bitch. No, no, I know it's like right It's like the truth like one is still really active one isn't you to thaw Martin

Especially you look kind of it just cuz we ain't got the same look neither as he used to like, you know, he ain't we will But it's still he still will he still will so we asked the chat Better film franchise. Rush Hour and Bad Boys 2 is a classic to this day. Which one? Bad Boy 2 was... Miami, right? Yeah, that's a classic, bro. Nigga, at least 30.

Huh? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. See? Oh, that's it. They all come back now. So which one is the worst one? I would say probably three out of all of them. Three?

That was the last one, right? Yeah. So three comes before four, Nick. So we asked the chat, better film franchise. Before four, the one you just saw? I'm like, how many they got? Three comes before four. No, it was Bad Boys for Life last one.

Then it was Bad Boys Forever. Then it's Bad Boys to Infinity then it's Bad Boys to infinity. Ride or die. Ride or die. So we asked the chat. That was the one. Better film franchise, Rush Hour or Bad Boys? 50-50 split. Yeah, I can't. Nearly 2,000 votes. I can't say. Both quality movies, alright? Y'all know I'm a movie aficionado. Rush Hour got to come out with a four. No, they don't. It's over. Stop!

I think we're leaving. We're on the Metro link now. Start leaving these movies alone. If you can't come out with it... Didn't they say, uh, what's it, that Beverly Hills Cop is coming back out? Yeah, on the third, next month. Netflix got Beverly Hills,

a new Beverly Hills Cop coming out. Excited for that one. Let's do it. Members of the 1983 NC State title team is suing the NCAA over NIL. Yeah, we want our bread too, can't you?

Okay, don't just stop it at 2016. We want our money too. Let me just be honest with some of them. And I'm going to just be really, really honest. I think the Fab Five

needs some money. I'm going to say be honest. Stop. Okay? Just stop. Y'all ain't getting shit. They opening this. The reason you ain't getting the floodgate. Y'all ain't getting shit. The reason you ain't getting shit is because you can't make up your own value.

Right? You can't say what someone would have paid you. You don't know. Yes, you was the most popular motherfucker in the world, but how do you say how much money you deserve? You don't know. Right? You don't know just because of this person, oh, I was more impactful than this person.

We don't know. Your face is still your face back then. Pay us all. We can't put your face on billboards. Pay us all then. That's nothing, bro. Just pay us all. Who was the player of the year this year?

Edie, right? What was his NIL bag? Oh, no. No, because he couldn't get none. He was exempt. Work visa or student visa? He was on a work visa. He was on a student visa.

That's a fun. He was getting that? That's a student visa. Maybe under the table. He probably got paid under the table. He was like, God damn. What the fuck? On paper?

But, okay, now, and this is why I said you can't give your own you can't do your own value, right? Who who is there who is the who was the best players in college basketball for girls the actual best players in college basketball? This is a Caitlin. No. Yes one who was the second best? No second best Okay, who was the third best chick The chick that got drafted. Two? Cameron Britt. Okay, third. I mean, fourth, right? I'm going to go with Rekia Jackson because she was selected for.

Right, so then you got Foo Wiley, then you have Cardoza, right? The highest paid was Angel Reese. Oh, no, no, no, no. Over Gateman? Yes. Nah, no, no, no, no. Over Caitlyn? Yes. Nah, I don't know.

Floge was third. And she was second all up until like the last month. But what I'm saying is it doesn't equate you being the best player. Angel was first? I don't believe that. In college? Yeah. Then more than Caitlyn?

Nah, it's Caitlyn, man. One was out there pushing, making that money. That's what I'm saying. One was out there doing and bustling. Both them LSU girls were. Got shit to do. They were one and two at first, and then they became one and three. That's why they lost. Got shit to do.

But I'm just saying, it doesn't equate. If you can sell yourself, you can sell yourself. So, you know, just saying what you need to be getting, 1983, goddammit, Sean. Man, I got a better chance. I got a better chance of getting money than my dude from 83. Who? You deserve it, too. Pay us all equally.

No, I do. Pay us all equally. I saw my face around Cincinnati. Larry Johnson and them, man. This shit. They deserve some big bread. But that's what I'm saying. And them running rebel hats and jackets was moving.

They did a 30 for 30 on these. Cool, but how do we know how much you get? We don't. Just pay us all equally. Because it's not from college. This is from sponsorships. Sponsorships is giving them Reebok, Adidas, motherfucker. Chick-fil-A.

No, they can pay now. It ain't just NILs. They can pay. Since when? When did that get here? That's why they said. They got like three billion earmarks for current and former athletes to break bread, but I think the cutoff is like 2016 or around about that time.

But we need to extend it back so we can get our checks, too. But what I'm saying is how do you know? How much do you know how much Zion is worth? Just pay us all the same. That's what I'm saying. Is it going to go like, how do you know how much Zion is worth? Jersey sales? Shit. You don't know. They'll figure it out.

But, you got things to do. That is our show for today. We appreciate y'all pulling up and tapping in with us. This has been another episode of Gills Arena presented by Underdog Fantasy. We will see y'all tomorrow.
