Episode Date: March 13, 2025

Gil's Arena Reacts To Shai Gilgeous Alexander's HOSTILE Takeover In Boston as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the NBA MVP Favorite leading the Oklahoma City Thunder over the Boston Celtics on the road and leaving the reigning champs with a bad taste in their mouths as he took over the city with a genius marketing plan. Gil's Arena breaks down what this game means for both teams at the top of the NBA and give props to Shai & Converse for taking advantage of the MVP race with a viral statement. They then react to Mikal Bridges' stunning buzzer beater to carry the New York Knicks over the Portland Trailblazers and get real on how Mikal's disagreement with Coach Thibs over his minutes philosophy will influence the Knicks heading into the NBA Playoffs. Finally, they preview a very tough stretch coming up for the Los Angeles Lakers who play 6 games in 8 days and discuss how Luka Doncic will lead this team through this critical point in the season without LeBron James.

So, y'all were talking about their, got close to some fisticuffs, so let's talk about a situation that went down in the league last night. Hey, NBA, we just actually proved it. In real time. What did we just prove?

What? All-star weekend. Let the old heads go. You put a motherfucker, no, you put somebody out there one-on-one, they automatically go hard, or they will be embarrassed. Yeah. You put them out there one-on-one, it's between me and you now, and that's...

We all had two buckets, too. Huh? We playing hard, and we old. We all had two. We all had two. Ain't nobody wanted to lose. Retire or tap. Tap. Ain't nobody wanted to lose. A retired player. Tap, tap.

Shit, fuck that. One shot. You want to get one shot. A retired player's dunk ball game would be very, very entertaining. Get the O-Heads out there. Put a million dollars on the line. I can dunk on 10. It's just I got to come down a little bit further.

I owe you 100, girl. You loop over. I'm just saying, you know, I can dunk on 10. I'm lying. I probably can't dunk on 10. Y'all need to be warmed up a little bit. I I owe you 100, girl. You loop over. I'm just saying, you know. I can dunk a... I'm lying. I probably can't dunk a 10. You probably need to be warmed up a little bit. I'm gonna bring my dad over here. Y'all can have a dunk off.

Y'all should do the slam ball on the trampolines. We did actually do slam ball in Vegas. Yeah. I don't like to come down. Like, going up is fine. Even on the trampoline? Coming down. Coming down.

Call him for me. Especially if you ain't did it in a while. Yeah. Like going up fine on the trampoline. I'm down coming down from me We got a lot to discuss around the league but as you know, it is Thursday So we take a little break from our normal programming to watch these old man go out there and get it You know that v12. Okay Trying to go I'm trying I'm trying to get a little bit Growth hormone trying to get a little... That growth hormone. Trying to go... Stop it.

This is it. You feel me? I'm about to go get sliced up in a minute. Oh, God. Doc said I can give you like a 14-pack. Give it to me. How much you call it? 14-pack is crazy.

Start up here. Start up here. I'll say you want abs up here. Abs from you, Chiz. 14-pack is crazy. So, Rockets beat the Suns 111-104 last night, but let's talk about the dust-up between Mason Plumlee and Steven Adams. We've got the video. So, with about three minutes left in the second quarter, Adams and Plumlee were fighting for rebounding position,

ended up just fighting instead. Ooh! Got him! Got him! Both players were ejected. As you can see, Plumlee had the upper hand. Steven Adams to the ground. Adams gonna let him go.

We got the high angle. Let's take a look. He had the wrong angle. Plumlee had the high ground. Send him to the ground. Both players were ejected. Tony Brothers, the chief crew who ejected them said after the game their aggressive actions were considered a fight and by rule fighting technical fouls carry a penalty of automatic ejection. Adams got a standing ovation from Rockets fans as he left the floor. Not particularly sure why, but kudos to them. Did Adams and Plumlee take this altercation too far, or no?

Is it good to see? Do we need to bring fighting back to the league like Joe Mazzulla said? He said that. He did say that. That's wrestling. They're wrestling. It's wrestling. I'm just saying that's wrestling.

It's wrestling. It's not wrestling. Is that considered an actual fight? Steven Adams didn't look like he was even doing anything. It's wrestling. It's wrestling. I'm just saying that's... It's wrestling. It's not wrestling. Is that considered an actual fight? Steven Adams didn't look like he was even doing anything. Like, don't you have to throw a punch for a fight? Yeah, so that's a wrestle.

It was some malarkey. It's like a... It's white people fight. That's a white person. Oh, they... Yeah. But they at least throw a punch. Throw a...

Throw a motherfucker. Adam... I hope they don't get suspended, like in the games. Half a quarter or some shit. Half a quarter. Yeah, half a quarter. And they probably going to be gone. I hope they don't get suspended, like any games. Half a quarter or some shit. Half a quarter.

Yeah, half a quarter. Pick the quarter you want. You get suspended for that? I don't think Steven Adams did anything. Yeah, if they consider the fight. It was just like, they don't get suspended for that. For that? Oh, they didn't?

I mean, the forearm to the, it depends on how they do it. Adam's was strong. I expected more from him. I don't know. I thought Adams was gonna pick him up by two hands and just... And the wrong hand? Did he grab him like this or was it... I mean, the other dude was seven foot, too.

Plumlee's a wild... And all three of his brothers were the same size. That's a good match. That's a good fade. So, Steven Adams listed at 6'11", 265 pounds. Mason Plumlee, 6'10", 254 pounds. That's a good match. That's a good fade. So, Steven Adams listed at 6'11", 265 pounds. Mason Plumlee, 6'10", 254 pounds. That's a big old wrestler catch. Cemetery Larry, who wins if we really let them get to it? Steven Adams.

I like Plumlee. You like Mason Plumlee? He athletic. Really? He athletic as fuck. He like little Blake Griffin. Yeah. Yeah, he was athletic. Adams. Like little Blake Griffin. Yeah. He was athletic. Adams. He was training in Chicago all summer.

He's strong as hell. Every summer. Who? Plumlee? Yeah, when he was at Duke, him and his brothers, they was coming up there. Steven Adams is never going to stop fighting. He's going to fight.

He look like he take punches in the face. He goes through eternity. You got to kill him. He's like a Viking eternity he goes yeah you gotta kill him yeah he's like a Viking so just looking around when you guys were hoping current players who was on your short list of guys you don't want to fight in the league? Dallenberg Oh, cause he a what? He's like a black belt. I got into a fight with Adam.

You got in a fight? With Adam? A fight. Yeah. You swung? Yes. My knee. Took off.

He took it. He took it. Did you connect? He took it. You hit a bing bing? And he just looked at me. I was like, damn. Damn.

I'm glad he got you. Bye-bye. Nice one. Nice. He got in the middle. I was happy. It kicked me out. I don't know. To that down and bear, Chris Mills. Of course, Shaq, Chris Mills, yeah. Chris Mills on the list.

Ooh, George fucking McCloud, Danny Fortson. Mm. I remember that. That was a good one. That was a good one. They was fighting in Denver. And then they both got kicked out. Uh, I remember I'm walking to the locker room, and then George McCloud did that shoulder grab from the back. Like, oh, huh?

He's like, yeah, tell Danny I'm outside. All right. Hey, Danny, that big one's outside, the one you was fighting with. This man did this. He said, hell yeah, I've been waiting for that motherfucker for years. Rolled his sock down, razor blade. Yeah, that's serious. Razor bladed his sock.

Damn. I can't play the whole game with the razor blade because that was his enemy. What? Yeah. But yeah, them two for sure. Damn. I'm going to go James Johnson. Oh, he was in when you?

Pacers. Yeah, black belt. Any current players you don't want to smoke with you? Current? Any current? Eastern Conference, want to smoke with you? Current? Any current? Eastern Conference, perhaps? Probably Giannis. Isaiah.

Isaiah. B-Stew. Hey, B-Stew is good. I seen Jayden Brown. He look like motherfucker Rambo II, right? You know what I mean? That black militant shit. You know what I mean?

Smart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Black strong black. That's a strong black man. That's I mean? Smart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Black, strong black. Strong black man. Strong black man. Like, he's talking to you while you were sitting. I told you.

I told you. Stop talking about me. Now, yeah, that, that, that, yeah. See, now I got to teach you a lesson. I told you. Stay true. Come on out here, boy. I'm not going to teach you a lesson.

Yeah, all that. Oh, my God. So, obviously, this incident last night won't rank anywhere in the best fight in NBA history. But what's the most memorable NBA fight? The one in Detroit.

Miles and the Paulders. That was more Royal Rumble. Stacking them was going crazy. Nah. It's a Kobe two-piece. Chris Charles. Unfortunate for Chris Charles. Boop, boop.

Yeah, he was out the league right out the back. And you see no next contract. You can't hit Kobe. Not the young one either. So, I think he got traded, then he was gone. Kurt Rambis, what about that one? Fight? Ah, it's the one nobody ever heard about. It was Golden State versus the Trailblazers.

It was kind of like the malice in the palace. When? It was my second year. It was my second year. Chris Mills, a game winner. If you look it up, it was Rasheed Wallace. Hits a game winner. He gets a game winner.

And then Chauncey and Chris Mills going for the rebound. And then Chauncey, I mean, not Chauncey, Bonzi Wells, Bonzi Wells, they're getting each other face, and then he hit him with that, all hell broke loose. Like, it was... And was it on ESPN? Nah, it was... I'm fucking going to say worse.

Like, I had to pick up a chair against Reuben Patterson. Don't want to find him out. Got in a... What's the name? Zach Randolph. Like, we... I had to pick up...

It was the Trailblazers. I had to trail gangsters. I had to hook up a... What's the name? A chair. So Reuben Patterson was Jason Richardson. So we squaring up on them two.

And then the crowd got in. Yeah, the crowd got in. Rasheed tried to run in the crowd. They tripped him on the way up. Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. Yeah, no. Wait, what? This is the infamous story of when the bus,

they blocked the bus from leaving. Chris Mills wanted that smoke. And then they went on a freeway, and all his boys stopped on the freeway. Trench coats, black trench coats come out. What's happening? Get off the bus. Oh, y'all never heard of this?

Yeah. It was cracking in that motherfucker. That's nice. Yeah. Stop the bus on the freeway. Yeah, that's right. Because you know Golden State, you leave, you got to go on the ramp, ramp, and then

you got to come back down. Yeah, so they beat the bus. Once it got on leave, you got to go on the ramp, ramp, and then you got to come back down. Yeah, so they beat the bus. Once it got on the ramp, once it got on the ramp, stopped in front, stopped in back. So he couldn't back up nothing. And I'm like, how'd it just keep going? Big-ass bus, I'm running that down. Right, I'm running that car over.

You got people in front of you. They said, more cheeks. They said, motherfuckers knocking on the window, more cheeks looking back there. Hey, so, boss,, what you gonna do? Girl, you know you got that A shot. You know niggas with the back talking shit. Yeah, you see how I got that nigga like, ugh!

They said, so, Bonzi, what you gonna do? Yeah. That was good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you feel you had to pick up a chair because it was a lot of commotion? No, like, you know, like, you know what motherfuckers are swinging. You know what? I just want to know your mentality

of picking up a chair. Like, what was you doing? No, I'm just chilling. There's a lot of shit going on over there. I'm just chilling. And then you know how Jay Rich is just chilling like this, too? We just watching. And then, you know, Ruben Parson, you know,

a motherfucker, you know a motherfucker who wants some action. Yeah, he's just looking And I'm looking at look at Jay Rich like waiting for Jay Richard looking like yeah, you won't do this like wait Pick it up. Hold on dog. Nah, she's just like Yeah, this is now we go to one you He stood down with somewhere else, but he was looking for a motherfucker to look at him, too. Don't look him directly in his eyes. Don't look him directly in his eyes, God damn it. They're at the concrete. All right, well, let's keep this thing moving. There's been a lot of conversation about the Knicks minutes this season, and that conversation

continued ahead of Wednesday's game against the Blazers. Mikael Bridges, who has never missed a single game in his 539-game NBA career, said he spoke to Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau about giving the bench a chance to play more minutes. This, of course, comes after Jalen Brunson was injured last week in an overtime loss against the Lakers. Some of us were in the building to see it. It was beautiful. Here's what Bridges said about the heavy minutes load

before playing another overtime game against Portland on Wednesday. He said, quote, Sometimes it's not fun on the body, but you want that as a coach. And also talk to him a little bit, knowing that we've got a good enough team where our bench guys can come in and we don't need to play 48 minutes. We got a lot of good guys on this team that can take away minutes, which helps the defense, helps the offense, helps tired bodies being out there and giving up all these points. It just helps keeping fresh being out there and giving up all these points. It just helps keeping fresh bodies out there. So when asked about Bridges' comments, Coach Tibbs was not thrilled,

defended his philosophy, saying, quote, we never had a conversation about it. The facts are the facts. Jalen is 20th or 21st in average minutes. Cat is below that. Your wings play more. They're matched up against primary players. Tibbs, you know.

He going to work you. Why ain't that pick a swinging boy? The wings definitely play more. As Bridges, Josh Hart are the top two leaders in minutes played this season. After all that, the Knicks went into Portland where they'd end up down two in overtime with a chance to win the game. And it was Bridges who would have the chance to send the Knicks home happy. Here's a shot from the Knicks broadcast followed by the perspective of the Blazers broadcast. Bridges to inbound.

Nicks break. Hart gets it. Right back to Bridges. Bridges puts up a throw. Bang! Bang! The kill! Bridges wins it at the buzzer! Yeah, we were watching this on playback. He looked fresh in the mouth. Look at me. He looked fresh. He was breathing mighty hard after it was off. Here's the Blazers.

Off the bridge. Stops. Pops. A three. Got it. You said a travel swaggy? You think so? You got to be a bad rep.

I'm understanding how these teams are defending these out of bounds plays. That's it. P.J. Tucker still getting the bat. Why are you on the ball? Even just the young, they switched for the run up. That's a guard supposed to be running up. Just in case, trap the ball, make him throw it back to the big. Two in a row we've seen of like, what the fuck?

What are y'all doing? Great shot though. Great shot fire was a fire shot So despite the public disagreement with the coach earlier in the day Bridger scored a game-high 33 points in 41 minutes Nailed his first career game winning buzzer beater to lift the Knicks to a W So how big of a deal is this disagreement on minutes between Mikkel bridges and tips? It'll be funny if tips took his ass out for a little time. For real? Yeah, I'm playing you too many minutes. Man, I was just about to say that. I didn't know, to be honest, I didn't know that was an actual thing.

What, I played 20 minutes? I've never heard anybody complain about more minutes. I've heard motherfuckers complain about, hey, I need more minutes, not give me less minutes. For real. I don't... He never said, I need... He was kind of saying he wants the bench guys to play more because I think long-term he understands

that they're going to be important in the playoffs. But... Who? Who? Their bench? Yeah. I mean, because he didn't say, I'm tired. He kind of made it, like, very generalized.

So I don't even know if he was specifically talking about... Himself. ...my minutes, so I don't... He's won in the league, right? Yeah, so I don't know. Why didn't he come out and just say, I want less minutes? He made it a very generalized statement.

Right. I mean, people who play for Tibbs have said, the overload, it kills them. We talked to them. Do they practice too? Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Everybody, no, listen, everybody that plays for the Knicks, you have to practice.

Oh, so that's the overload. The media's in there every day. Like, it ain't no off day. So he in there overloading them. Same thing happened in Chicago. We was playing 43 minutes a game back then. It's the practices, bro. It's the practices.

If you practice in the Oval, that big. I live in practice like that, yeah. Everybody who's played for Tim said that. I'm trying to figure out who's going to bring on the bench. What bench do you actually have that's going to soak up these minutes? Soak them up. Who's complaining? Probably the players.

No. Probably him, Josh Hart. One guy. The guy that ain't been there before. Who? Nick the new guy, if you will. Cap? Mikkel Bridges? Or Cap? No, Mikkel. Because no one else has said anything. Mikkel ain't used to this.

He ain't used to seeing a guy that's good enough sit there and he got to play all these minutes. He got to guard for real. And it's a standard and there's pressure on you now. And you got to exert all that energy and save certain energy. It's tough. It's an adjustment. You damn sure don't hear Josh Hart complaining about that shit.

So I think right now for him to come back and know that he had to do that. There was spurts during the game last night where he was tired. He had like three straight turnovers. And the commentator's like, he looks tired. You could tell. That was what the comment was about. He was turning the ball over and could just literally turn it over and not worry about it being subbed out.

That's the accountability thing for him, I think. In his mind is, when I'm tired, I turn the ball over. I want to come out, but you don't trust me or you don't trust my teammates. So you don't think nobody else is saying, complaining about anything? Nah. So he's the only one in there saying, hey, man, we just... Nah, but somebody else has heard that over the years. Somebody else has said... I've heard that from other players that play.

Probably like Cameron Payne probably saying... No, it ain't no starter. It could be the bench guy. It could be the bench guy saying, like, damn, I wish we was playing more. Brent said something, too, right? In the playoffs last year? They just were short. This is the thing.

If your bench guys took y'all to the playoffs last year, think about how your bench guys feel this year if they're not getting enough time to get you there this year. Those bench guys is gone. One guy was gone. Yeah, and one had to become a starter. Who was that? What's the center name? No, McBride was one of the—

Mitchell Robinson. McBride was one of the main. Mitchell Robinson. McBride was one of the main. Hartenstein. Yeah, McBride. Obviously, now that Jalen Brunson's been out, he's been shifted to the starting lineup. I do agree with you. The Minnesota Bench.

The Bench do do that. Josh Hart, I think, a stretch last year, he played 10 straight quarters without subbing. I was averaging like 48 minutes per game over a stretch, but he said, I'm cool with it. Like, shit, I like this. Because it's needed. Yeah. You know, but when it's not needed, it's's the one thing right? That's where the problems are You up 20 you could tell you can give them a little break. Yeah, he stubborn as hell

But is he gonna have them so Cameron? I mean the only person who can play for them is Cameron Payne shamets Landry Shamit. Play for them? That's who we subbing in? Shamit. What? Shamit? That man is Den Vincenzo. But as I said, that's who we gonna play 30 minutes a game?

No. They don't have to play. They don't have anybody. This fool's gold. But that's what he said. But that's what he said. You overloaded me so we not gonna be shitting for the playoffs. You can't give me...

Just give me a breather. Give me a breather. Give me a breather where it don't feel like I'm getting a breather. Give me a breather where my guy, the guy who's subbing for me, gets a chance to fucking play. Like, he gets a chance to show out. Like, if I play my heart out and I sub out the game, I sub myself out, man, you sub me in when you feel like I'm ready to come in.

But if a dude needs a chance, give him a chance. I think playoff mentality right. I play the whole game, do whatever you need me to do. Regular season, this stretch, 82 games. We're good in third. I can't tell you, if I got subbed out, if I get subbed out, we have a problem. I'm sorry.

I love the luxury of just playing. I'm in conditions, though. You sub me out, I got a problem, man. That's crazy. Bridges also averaging 38 minutes per game this year, most in his career. Three more minutes than he was playing last year in Brooklyn. Three more minutes. 38 minutes? 38 minutes. What do you do with 38 minutes?

He's averaging 18. That makes sense. 18 four assists per game. He got the guard, dog. He ain't trying to average 30. He got to play deep. He got to play deep. He got to play both ends. Yeah. He got to play deep. He got to play both innings. He got to play both innings. He got to break pressers and shit.

Back then, pressers, you pressers, you would be tired too if you played for Tibbs. You ain't got to practice. I mean, you ain't got to pick up full court. Like, because you... Pick up full court? You got to pick me up full court? You got to run through the... You got to run through the goddamn Princeton office, run up and down the Princeton office,

back screens, what's-it-ain't screens. Get your ass on the goddamn Princeton office, run up and down the Princeton office, back screens, what's-it-ain't screens. Get your ass on the goddamn treadmill. Let me see. No, I'm not rolling. Okay. Get out of here with that. He guards the best.

He guards the best players. I guess, listen, if you used to play in 30-something minutes, cool. You conditioned for that. If you want to get to the next level where they got to play you fucking 40-something minutes your condition level has to go up You don't think his condition levels they in the gym every day. They practice every day I'm like the game in this career got a practice every day. Oh, yeah, you like you ain't miss the point I didn't say nothing about no motherfucking point. Okay. All right, so you're not having 30 points You're not averaging 30 points. How much effort do you need to average 30 points? Have you ever guarded the best player on anything? Every night? No, no I've never had to.

The best player in my position wasn't every night. I was the best player in my position most of the nights. So they had to put great defense on me and trap me. Yes. And what that get you? Iverson. What did Iverson? You talking about team shit, we talking about individual. Is his individual condition ready for this? But this is for the team, though. Yeah, he said his body is tired. The Knicks are in third. I don't know, Iverson.

41, 40, 42, 43, 42, 42, 42, 43, 42, 42, 42, 41. We're talking about motherfucking elite people who knows what it takes. They know what they got to do every night. And we're not talking about AI who's sitting there. He's running up and down, running full court, putting his body on offense. And defense too. He left the league in steals. Like, what are we

talking about? I'm sorry. Yes. He's running. He's running. You want me to see who runs more miles? Him or, uh, what's the name? You want to do that? Who runs more miles? Him or Bridges? Who do you think?

Okay. That's what the guys know for a repeat. How do they know, though? How do they know? Somebody just... Yes, they got my run. But do they count the walk to the locker room? They got my run.

I'm curious. They got my run. How do they tabulate all that? I didn't practice, so. I know. You're smart. I mean, I think his complaints are valid, but as a player, I'm like,

I would never complain about playing too much. I mean, he's playing most minutes in the league. He don't miss games, so we can't say he don't take care of his body. He's not ready to go. I think that's the bigger point. Yeah. It's one thing if it's somebody on the team

who ain't playing that much. I do generally think he wants his bench to play cuz he knows that this is playoff. It's like bigger He's thinking bigger picture. I don't think it's about I don't think it's about him. Honestly. I think he's thinking bigger picture playoffs They can't afford crash out like they always do but they can't afford their third. They're good right now So I think this is a problem where he wouldn't understand, but I'm pretty sure he does, but it's never been said. He's a third option, one option. It's a rare thing where you're a third option when the starter's here.

So Brunson is the one option, right? If he's gone, Bridges don't go to the second option. He goes to the one option. So he has to take on the responsibility of Brunson. Cat is a second option, no matter what. So Bridges go from three to one. Not, not, it doesn't go two to one. Cat, Cat doesn't, Cat is not the number one option when Brunson's gone because he can't create his own shot anymore. He doesn't play in a post where we pass him the post and do all this. He's a spot-up shooter now. So that means someone has to create offense.

That's where Mikael Bridges has to step into the one. Wait, hold on. That's where Karan came in. Remember? Antoine was the second option when I'm there. When I leave, who became the number one option? Karan. Yeah, yeah.

He goes from third option to one option because he can create his own shot. Cat can create his own shot. Not anymore. Not anymore? You didn't see it?

They don't put him in a post anymore. Man, Cat's been going crazy. He's just in the corner waiting for the ball to come. He's not in the spot. He's not a corner. He's not a corner.

How many shots did Cat take last night with Brunson off? Who took the most shots? Let me... Just shot attempts. Let me look right now. He's not a corner. How many shots did Cat take last night with Brunson off? Who took the most shots? Just shot attempts. Let me look right here. One game? Yeah. Just one game.

Shot attempts. That's what it is. It goes from... Bridges took 21. OG took 20. Cat took 12. OG took 20. Cat took 12.

He don't move. But how much Cat average? He's an all-star. Cat was an all-star. All this shit off of just catch and shoot? No, what I'm saying is he's the second option. When Brunson's there, Brunson's focusing on Cat. When Cat is gone, someone

has, I mean, when Brunson's gone, someone has to be Brunson for Cat to give the ball to Cat. Cat averaging 24 and 13. See Cemetery Larry with his hands up. You know you can just interject whenever you want. But I appreciate you. You know I'm a Knicks fan. This is a respectful side of you. You are a resident New York Knicks fan on this couch, and I watch with the Knicks

Yeah, the cat definitely gets the ball in the post They definitely go through him when Brunson's out You win the game. No, I'm when Brunson's out. I this this is a This is a conversation. This is a conversation where if Brunson's there, it's one, two, three, four. When Brunson's gone, it doesn't go. It doesn't move down like that. It actually skips.

It skips? It skips. Bro, I didn't get to land, but yeah. Cat definitely gets the ball in the post. He definitely goes through him to make decisions, whether it face up or behind back to the basket even last night He didn't get a lot of touches He was doing a lot. He was doing a lot of other shit that he was trying to do But it's just bad game. I think overall I didn't like the game at all last night

So he didn't get in the post the number one option he didn't get he got in the post He just didn't execute when he was down there. I mean I feel like When Brunson's out, Bridges does become like the facilitator. I think that's like, I guess, number one option is probably not the right thing. But he's the one making all the passes now. He's playing all the minutes.

He's guarding the best player. He's like the more impactful one in Jalen's absence, I think. But I think Cat is just consistent. He's been consistent. I'll tell you what happens. The only thing that happens is they go into free game. Three ball. Drive and cut. That's it.

That's why it looks that way, because he can be aggressive in open format. But OG, McBride, they all love that style when Brunson is not playing because they can play that. Yeah, they can get the ball more. Right? But Cat is still there. Yeah, Cat doesn't move. Cat is doing the pick and pops and he's doing the rolls and he's getting the isos to get

them the ball and the positions to do that. So from what I see, I like the way, like I said, I didn't like a lot of the energy that they came into after the All-Star break. I didn't like the energy, but they still in three. He had a bad game of eight or 12. Yeah, that's a bad game. Is that a bad game? You didn't think the energy, but they're still in three. He had a bad game with eight for 12. Yeah, that's a bad game. Is that a bad game? You didn't think he was aggressive?

I'm just speaking differently. Yeah, he was just a bad game. I watched the game. I mean, you could go eight for 12. But we had a team that did that. But it is kind of like... If I'm on a team, I have a style that I play. My style that I play is pick and roll Antoine.

So Antoine is the second option that I play. My style that I play is pick and roll Antoine. So Antoine is the second option that I'm passing to. When I'm gone, Antoine doesn't become the first option. Karan is the ISO player. He jumps that spot. Nigga's the new leader in town. And then he goes, oh, this is... It's kind of like...

That's not the case with the Knicks. I'm telling you. It's kind of like... There's no way. I know there's no way, but I get no way, but it is. It's like having a substitute teacher. With Brunson gone, you're playing free. You get more shots.

Of course, this is my time to get more shots than Cat. But he don't get more shots than Cat on the daily, I don't think. When Brunson's gone, I'm talking about when Brunson... When Brunson is there, we know who Brunson's passing the ball to. We know who he's looking for. How many games have they played when Brunson is there, we know who Brunson's passing the ball to. We know who he's looking for. How many games have they played without Brunson this year? Let me find that out so we can see the... We are pulling it up, obviously.

You ain't seen Pat take it off the dribble and dunk. Same thing with Sacramento, right? The number one option was young fella, Fox. And then you had Sabonis and then... DeMar. DeMar. When he moves out the way, Fox, DeMar goes from 3-1. So Brunson makes 3-1 without Brunson this year.

2-1 in this current stretch. And how many shots that Cat is averaging? Yesterday was his lowest, I think. How many shots versus how many shots does the number one player go? It's a thing. Just people don't pay attention to it. It is a thing. Because he probably creates better, so he's more of a creator.

He creates for himself. Remember, he's a corner dude. He's more of a creator, yeah. But to. He created for himself. Remember, he's the corner dude. He's more of a creator, yeah. But to say cat can't create is... How about this? When you became the two when I left, if Karan left, who now became the number one option?

You or Antoine? Me. Okay. Y'all niggas with this AI. I get it. I know what you're talking about. But that's what I'm saying, because you're the creator, Yeah, me. Okay. Y'all niggas with this AI. I get it. Right? I know what you're talking about. But that's what I'm saying because you're the creator.

So you got to do it. And better than Kat. So in games without Brunson, Towns has averaged 24.1 points per game with a field goal percentage of 53%. This is coming from Chad GPT. But Carlton Towns has been the primary offensive leader for the New York Knicks, according to AI. How many shots did... What's her name? Thanks, ChatGPT.

That is not real. That's actually not real. How many shots did McHale shoot? You still have to look at the other person. So first game of Brunson missed was against the Jazz. The Knicks won that game. That was on New Year's Day, January 1st, 2025. Cat took 20 shots.

I think Bridges took 17. Let me keep looking, Gil. The primary shots. I think Bridges took 17. Mm-hmm. Let me keep looking, Gu. The primary creator. Yeah, Bridges took 17. I still think Cat is the one. Yeah. Next game was March 7th against the Clippers. No.

No. He just has the ball more. Cat took 21 shots. Bridges took 12 shots. Even OG got paid more money. I'm third. Yeah. Next game was the 10th against Sacramento.

Cat took 15 shots. Bridges took 10 shots. What did OG take? I think 15 shots that game. Let me just reconfirm. Doing this on the fly. God bless everybody. Download the underdog app for this hard work.

So OG took 15 shots in that Kings game. He took 15? And last but not least. He took 15? But in this game against the Blazers, Cat only took 12 shots. Obviously, Bridges took 21. And then OG took 20.

OG took 20. Cat should never take the least amount of shots out of the three of them, I think. Just one of them games. Yeah, just one of them. One of them games. Just one of them games that he goes through. Yeah, let's get the ball.

Cat right here. I was going to hit you with the Cat, boys. Didn't Joker have seven? Didn't Joker have seven shots against the Lakers, didn't he? I don't think I could create. Did he? Seven shots. Superior game plan.

We ain't say he didn't go crazy when he did that, right? Let's go host JJ Redding. He didn't go crazy when he had that seven, did he? Seven shots. Superior game plan. We ain't say we didn't go crazy when he did that. Let's go host JJ Reddy. We didn't go crazy when he had that seven, did we? We didn't say he was a secondary option after that. Say who was a secondary option? I can create my own shot, yeah. Yeah, Cat can create his own shot. I'm Cat-town.

That was the number one pick. He was doing it. Meow. What? Meat injuries, I said now. Big bird. Number one pick. He was doing it. Meow. What? He was doing knee injuries. I said, now. Big purr.

Number one pick. What are you talking about? I love Cat. Big purr. Okay, we got to live here. We're going to be at Summer League soon. Stop it. We don't want no smoke.

Oh my God. Thought it was a three. You don't think I'm a number one option. Oh my God. Enough. We were talking about Nick Starters playing too many minutes. I'm a little on the list. Carol Bridges.

We got to give him some love, though. I'm a little on the list today. So Bridges, only sixth player in NBA history to play their first 500 consecutive career games. Streak is now 539 games, including 2022-2023 season, when he actually played 83 regular season games after getting traded. How impressive is Mikael Bridges' Iron Man streak? You all hooped in the league.

Very impressive. He don't take no days off, so I would be under the opinion that if he's saying Tibbs, God damn. No facts. That is true. Does he do, like, yoga? Does anybody know what he, like, does? Yeah, he has to have a very good...

Does he eat Chipotle still? Yeah. I thought that was him, huh? Yeah, we has to have a very good... Does he eat Chipotle still? Yeah, that was him, huh? Every single day. Yeah, we had to do yoga at New York. Yeah, baby, it's Chipotle. Maybe that's the key to longevity. I love Chipotle, too, so... Did they give you one of those cars with the Unlimited?

No, but I'm going to keep asking them to on the show. If anybody from Chipotle watches Gills Arena presented by Underdog, please give me the Goldie Chipotle. Give her that Unlimited Chipotle watches Gil's Arena presented by Underdog, whoop, whoop. Please give me the gold- Go Lexi a dime. Give her that unlimited Chipotle card. So Chipotle is the new Applebee's, huh? No. When was Applebee's ever a thing?

I thought we were past this. We are, we at Chipotle now. No, no. Chipotle is for- We drove past Applebee's. Chipotle is my time. We drove right past it. Chipotle is for my time. I said, ah.

Chipotle is for my time. You said, hey. I said, okay. No. Yeah. No. Quesadillas it is. No, no, no, no, no. Quesadillas my favorite.

No. Your baby is Chipotle. It's been gone. People have not been bothering me with that for a while. He hasn't missed a seven season. Has not missed an NBA game. No, no, no, no. In seven seasons? He's in the middle of his seventh season right now. He hasn't missed a game.

Okay. He hasn't missed a game. He hasn't missed a game. He hasn't missed a game. He hasn't missed a game. He hasn't missed a while. He hasn't missed a seven season, has not missed an NBA game. In seven seasons? He's in the middle of his seventh season right now. He hasn't missed a game. Has not missed a game.

In seven seasons. Chipotle every day and during that. Mikel. Chipotle streak too. He changed his jumper back too, right? That's what I'm saying. What is he doing? The game winner didn't look like it was...

He just let it go. I want to know what his like like, daily routine is and stuff, because that's very impressive. I'm curious to how close he's come to not playing. It's not like he has a strong body. He's still... He's wiry, so it's like, what are you really doing to take care of that? Hmm?

All right, you know, just doing the skinny yoga, the bands and all that. Now, that's the person you ask. You know, if you're somebody who getting hurt, hey, brother, what you doing over there, man? Seven years, I mean. Never missed. John Stockdale, what were you doing? Man, been going the hardest player down there every night. Playing all the matches.

That's impressive. Yeah, you know what, if I'm Tibbs. Yeah. I might be listening to him. Yeah, if my Iron Man is not ironing right now, I'm just like, hold on, y'all. Hey, listen, we're going to have a couple days off. But usually motherfuckers like that,

if I'm playing you like that, I'm not practicing you like that. He must be on the stand band motherfucking Gundy. Yes, no, it is. Oh, that's where he's from? You heard what Joaquin Noah said, though. We interviewed him on Star Week. I didn't even think about it.

I said, hey, we're going to practice today. That pick is going to get to swinging. He said, hey, we're going to practice today. Yeah. That pick is going to get to swinging. Yeah. He was in Boston. State of Mississippi needs this ditch. They need this ditch. Yeah, he has that mentality.

That's why. You don't remember he came to Washington, y'all? Yeah, yeah. He came to Washington? What would I do? You ain't going with that. You ain't going with that, boy. She can show on that.

Came for one day. One day. Quit. One day. I didn't even remember one day. One day. One day. No, boy. You I didn't even remember one day. One day. No, boy, you were going to move around. And went to Boston.

Take your ass to Boston. Play up. So he went to Boston. Got a ring. Uh-huh. Well, we're going to take our ass. You're going to have one of those over there. No.

Did he win a ring? Yeah, he was a coach. It was that. He was a Citgo. Yeah, he was a Citgo. Then after that, he went to the Bulls. Yeah, the defensive coach with KG and all. We're going to take our ass to Boston in one second.

But this show has a barbershop type feel. You go to any black barbershop, these are the names you will hear. You just know, okay, I know who you're talking about about but let's talk about the thunder and the celtics uh more specifically shea gildas alexander so thunder went into boston last night and what many were calling a potential nba finals preview don't know if anybody on this couch is calling it that but let's take a look at how the game went so thunder were without all-star jalen williams

in this one celtics did not have Chris Stapp's Porzingis available. SGA led the way for Oklahoma City with 34 points on 11 for 20 shooting. 39 minutes of action. It was SGA's 60th consecutive game scoring 20 or more points, something only Wilt, Oscar Robertson, MJ, KD, Kobe, and Kareem have ever done over the course of a single season. Jason Tatum had 33 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists for the Celtics. Jalen Brown struggled in this one, scoring 10 points on 5-for-15 shooting in 38 minutes of action.

Celtics attempted 36 threes in the first half, the most attempts in any half in NBA history. They finished 20-for-63 from deep for the game, 32%. 63 total attempts for the Celtics are tied for the third most in any history. They finished 20 for 63 from deep for the game, 32%. 63 total attempts for the Celtics are tied for the third most in any game in NBA history. So as for OKC, the win clinched a playoff spot for them, making them the first team in the West to accomplish that feat. It's season.

Man. You see it. I like this right here. Eshieto. Hey, he too little. Take see it. Fight this right here. That's why. Ashiata, oh. Hey. He too little. Take him down. Take him down here.

Getting that mini going. Get over him. Oh my goodness. In them Converse. They could be defenders though. Yo, he fucking. Yo, he. He is.

He fucking. Drew lead out there. I'm sorry. That's the MVP. That's the MVP. I don't care. I don't care. Oh my. Come on, man. He fucking. All four of them defenders. That was personal. That's MVP. I don't care. Oh, come on, man. All four of them defenders.

That was personal. Yeah. It felt like a statement game for SGA as he continued his quest to win his first MVP in Adam Silver's National Basketball Association. But was this game more about the Thunder or the Celtics? Lexi, I'm gonna start with you. I know you're a Celtics fan. Y'all took the L. Oh, yeah, we're missing Porzingis still.

Dead. Um, took. We're missing Porzingis still. Dead. Took too many threes. 63. Too many. But, yeah, I think that game was more about the Thunder. And I think now they're just rallying around SGA because he deserves that MVP. I don't care what anybody says. So I think that game was personal for him.

They went into the Garden and won. That's not easy to do. And he's just so consistent, and I think people are, like, sometimes bored with his just consistency, but I think that's what makes him the MVP, is you know what you're gonna get from him every night. Consistent like Chipotle, I would say. Yes. You know what you're gonna get every time you go there. Like Chipotle.

Never strays. Abbas Moore, Mr. B, game more about the Thunder or the Celtics? Neither, about SGA. It's about Shea Gildersleeve. It's performance. Going against the defending champs in Boston, playing against, you know, Jalen Brown, a great defender, Drew Holliday, you know, the whole team defends. And putting a team on your back in Boston and going in and get a win like that, that was definitely a

statement game. And then to have the spotlight of your logo on the TD Garden after, that was very cocky, but I like that. We're going to talk about that in just a moment. Shout out to Converse. Guild applied pressure on the show, said y'all need to be doing more marketing for SGA. Y'all got it done last night with some elite-level trolling. We will hit that in one second.

But can the Celtics continue to live and die by the three? 63 three-point attempts. On pace, I think, for NBA record amount of attempts. That's too many. Like, there has to be a limit at some point. But, yeah, I still think the way they're playing, they'll be fine. Yeah, and that's why I picked the Bucs.

I think they're going to still win it all. That's why I picked the Bucs. The biggest flaw for them is they shoot so many threes. They ain't got no flaw. If they're 10, 15, 20 threes for that 50-60, Giannis is not going to do that, right? So he's going to be getting twos. You're shooting.

They took 229 worth of points last night, had a score of 112. They're taking, when they lose, look at what they're scoring. Right. Look at what they're scoring when they lose. They're averaging about 106, but they're taking 63s, 55 threes. Those are the games they can't win. They don't even have a chance to win. You said 200 and...

They shot 63 threes, right? So that's 182. That's 189, yep. And then they took 22s, 40. Add it together. I thought you were talking three. I mean, but, like, what can you say? They're in second place's how many points we're going to get. What can you say there? In second place in the East, defending champs.

But think about a playoff team, right? When you're talking about matching up. This performance, you lost, right? Just like you lost here. Every time you've had this performance, you lost. The only way to get rid of someone like Giannis, who's just going to the basket the whole time, that means he's shooting at a 58% to 63% rate on layups.

You have to shoot 45 and above at the rate you're doing because he's getting free throws and layups. So he's going to take away some of them shots. So you have to be shooting at a high rate. You have them bad performances where you're shooting under 25 makes with a 60 shots, you can't win that game. At what number is still considered living and dying? Because I feel like if they take 45, 40 to 45 threes, that's still a lot of threes,

but for them, no. But I feel like they can adjust. How many threes did the Warriors take in 2017 18 Y'all want yeah, y'all was making them though Team that the high after coming down from winning the championship they noted where they gonna be be at. That's the goal. Like, 60 is a lot. But they're not destined to be. So Celtics are averaging 48.2 threes per game right now. Right, like 60 is a lot.

What did you say, Nick? Warriors in 2017, 18? But you see. Do you see what they're relying on? They only shot 31. Damn. You see what they're relying on? They're relying on the data.

The data says if I shoot 32% out of this, how many? 60. 63. There's plenty enough points if we have a good game where we're actually hitting. So think about the games when we are hitting, how we blow those teams out. Crazy. Yeah, so, like, we're not gonna change. No, no, no. Here's the thing. Let me land. Let me land.

Did y'all see that guy with number... Nigga, they do. They do. Go ahead, Cemetery Laird. They shot 80 shots. Nigga, 63 is three. 63 out of their 94 and 10. 80 shots, 60... They shot 63 threes.

Did you see that guy? 94. So, Cemetery Larry, what were you saying? Nobody said, we didn't say they took a bunch of, 63. They still took more threes than twos, though. Not even close. It's not even close. He took 13 threes and 10 twos.

The guy had 10 points. Look, look, look. Just look. The guy had 10 points. He ain't going to have 10 points every game. So, what were you saying? That ain't going to have 10 points every game. So what were you saying? That ain't going to never happen. But you're checking shots.

Jalen Brown scoring 10 points is never going to happen again. Shud. So the other guys on the team that really shoot well from the three, if they ever get hot, they are all probably 37% from three or above guys like Peyton preacher Sam How's our guys we know who they're white, you know, and then you got you holiday that can't get hot Then you got fucking Al Hortford that can get hot. He's known to just rely on that shot now So if they're shooting 35 or below That's still great for them. Yeah, no, you're. Against most teams who get to shoot with them.

I'm saying for them. So you're just saying like, you're hypothetically saying if they match up with the Bucs. If they match up with the Bucs because the Bucs is not going to, they're not going to shoot 63s where who has 42%.

Well, you have to depend on us. They might. You have to depend on us missing that night though. You have to depend. You have to. If we don't miss that, that's a bad night

for us at 31%. Is 42% good? 42.9. So 43% from the three. Hell yeah. They scored 97 points got blown out by 20. Shooting 42%?

Shooting 42%. What did the other team shoot? They had to shoot 50% in the field. The Celtics are shooting 37% as a team this season on horrible

48.2 attempts. Regardless regardless regardless they're looking at it shooting 37% as a team this season on horrible 48.2 attempts. Regardless. 30%. They're looking at it. 37. No, 37%. 37. That's pretty good for a team that's shooting that many.

They're shooting 37. That's okay. 36.3. The other team, the team they lost to, which was Detroit, shot 52% from the field. Yeah, they had a great game. Because they're going for two. Yeah, well, that's what happened.

Going for two. What game were we talking about when they lost all those O boards? Who did they play? What game was that? And that was New York. So you're telling me we got a bet then. Was it New York? I'll bet you if they played.

But it was. They're, what, 47-19? I've already did the calculations on it. Nate, we said that Warriors was 31. I'm not tripping over losing a game. I think it's 31-3 is the game or something say that word over 31 losing a game 31 threes again, so my word shoes But yes Warriors are shooting 42 degrees a game. This is Third in the good game on a good night. You want a game? They're gonna hit in 2018 It was 29 attempts again, and this season, they're shooting 42.3.

OKC, OKC, they went 9 for 46 from the three-point line. These niggas are shooting six. Bro. When, last night? No, the first time they played. The last time, they scored 92 points. And OKC, 44 from the field. You give somebody, like, when you're shooting that bad,

it's not like you're breaking 100. When you're shooting, that's just a 200-what's-the-name-worth of shots. That's how much you're missing. That's how much you're giving up on shooting. So if somebody's just coming in and making layups, you have to be on fire. Yeah, you have to depend on the twos getting converted. Then you have to now rank our defense. Now you say, what are we doing defensively?

Are we stopping our guys to actually give us more chances to convert on our three-point misses? So if we come down and we miss three in a row, we get two stops, we don't lose on those Giannis twos. We still can hit two in a row on getting stops on Giannis depending on where we rank defensively. If we are top 10 defense, we can then live on being top 13,

with 13th in the league in three-point shooting. At 37. Oh, no, that's what he does. But ain't nobody stopping Giannis. Look, right here. One at a time, one at a time. Here's another one. 16 for 46. 16 for 46 from the three.

Toronto Raptors shoot 50% from the field. Boston shot more shots, but obviously, the more layups that they're making, they beat them 110 to 97. What's the Boston Celtics record? I mean, they've lost 19 games. You're talking about two of the 19. I'm not even thinking about what he's saying. I'm saying our percentages work in our favor.

But 100% no matter what he's saying. When I said, though, 23-12 at home this season. The what? 23-12 at home this season for the Celtics. They shoot more threes at home. So all these... Because last year they were... What, 37-4, something like that?

Yeah. It's their Achilles heel. It's the honeymoon. When they don't realize it. You're going to play against a guy like... Remember, when you're shooting 40-something and you're missing, this team is going to win that, right? The only way you blow them out is if you're on fire,

which in a seven-game series, that's going to be one and a half times. You're going to be bad one and a half times. What does that middle look like? It's an equal thing. One and a half, you're going to be on fire. One and a half, you're going to be off, right? What does the other four games look like for you? So do you see twos?

No, they don't shoot twos. That Two? No, they don't shoot twos. That's the thing. They don't shoot twos. But they can. But that means they got to go 25 for 30. But when they do, they make them. But, Lexi, do you see them shifting their strategy at all when it comes playoff time, reducing that three-pointer?

I mean, everybody changes their strategies in the playoffs. That's what playoffs is about. Because they have dudes that can get to the bucket and get. That's what I said. 60 is too many, though. Like, but they're not going to change their philosophy for a hypothetical matchup against the Bucks in the playoffs. And is this a way to conserve energy for them

by taking all these threes? It's a lot of threes. Live and die by it. What's a good percentage for a shooting guard, a field goal percentage for a shooting guard? How high level is he? How many shots is he getting? Over 40.

High volume, high usage. I think it depends. Let's say 45%. 45% of the time. Solid. That's very good. Very good. That's good.

Very good, right? Yeah. Celtics are shooting 46 from the field as a team. Yeah, because it's all them damn threes. As a team. From the field? That's good as a team, 45% from the field. Yeah, even with them damn threes. As a team, that's good as a team. 45% from the field. Yeah, even with all those threes.

So with all those threes, you're shooting 36 from the three, 46 from the two. If we have a bad game from the three. They're very good at twos. If we take enough twos, which is his argument, that they don't take enough twos. I'm glad you corrected yourself. If they take enough twos, we glad you corrected yourself. They take enough to. We offset at any point because of our percentages. We shoot a high percentage.

They have the ability to adjust, but will they adjust is the question. And it depends on what team they're adjusting to. Jalen will be more aggressive depending on who he's going against. Jason, he's proven he's aggressive against certain guys. Przingis is not out there. I mean, I think they're in a good position, like she said. If you're shooting... Did they need to shoot all those threes last night? Yes.

To go against O.K. Seabrook? No. Because what is the young fella doing? What is the motherfucker they're losing to doing? Where is he doing? Going right to the rim. What shots are we missing? Threes.

The regular shots that we take on the regular. Man. We're Phoenix Suns, right? Dan Toney, Steve Nash, Quinn Richardson, Joe Johnson. We're not changing. These are shots we shoot. Keep shooting, guys. We know we make these shots.

What do you mean? We're not tripping. Our percentages are going to go up because we know we're supposed to make these shots. These are regular shots. They just missed. So let's shift back to the potential. 46% shooting 15 twos? 20 twos while the other team is shooting 40 twos?

Man, we only go up. The more we shoot, the more the percentage goes up. But think what I'm saying. If you're at 46% shooting only 20 twos, and I'm shooting 40 twos at then what I'm saying, if you're at 46% shooting only 22s, and I'm shooting 42s at 38%, I'm scoring more than you. So you're saying you would change your formula after winning a championship? No, I'm saying there's one team out there who hasn't gravitated to that style, and that can be a danger point for them taking this many threes

because the guy they're playing against, like think about the teams that they lose to. They're not chucking threes with them. The teams that chuck threes with them, they're going to blow them out of the water. They're going to beat the Indiana, they're going to beat those guys. The teams that sit there and they're going to drive and their point guard is getting or their shooting guard is getting to the lane, getting these twos, getting these and ones, getting these twos, hitting these ones getting these twos hitting these mid ranges

He's palling up his points while you're just chucking threes. So he's he has 40 layups They got 40 mid-range jump shots 33s you got 63s 20 20 layups did you say that calculates that that offsets the threes you're making? That's why I said there's one team that they got a they can't play against Milwaukee that's it. Yeah, it's just honest how young plays So if it's not six more than I see then it's cast Yeah, six more what if it's not the books and it's the Cavs or something. Yeah, like what if it's the Cavs and plan?

I'm second-round Yeah, it's Cavs is a three-point shooting team, too. Any three-point shooting team, like Cavs, Cavs have that middle ground, too, but if you're gonna shoot 40, 50 threes with them, they're gonna beat you at that game. Just like with Golden State, you try to play their game, that's what they're good at.

Well, the team have played both ends and they got a future MVP on it. Cool, but what I'm saying is, you have to shoot a certain amount of threes and made if you're playing against it. This is like playing against Shaq, right? If Shaq is going to go down, Shaq and Kobe,

they're going down there dunking and making mid-ranges, and they're taking 90 shots, but 50 of them, 50 of them are twos, you have to hit a fucking high clip. Which they do. How many threes did the Taylors take? Hold on. This year, this year, they're averaging how many threes a game? 48.

48 threes a game this year. Last year, how many do you think they averaged? 42. 43. Okay. So at 43, what do you think the percentages that they shot? As a team. For threes?

37, 40. 38. 38%. So now that they're at 36, they took six more shots a game. Why would we change anything? This is a formula for success. Yeah, that's right. We wouldn't change nothing out of this. We wouldn't change nothing because the numbers are the same.

And we're taking six more. You can say that and still say 60 attempts is too many, but they don't have to change their whole formula. They don't have to. Right. You're saying the same thing. You keep saying how many threes in their percentage. And I'm saying, cool.

But there's one team out there in the East that offsets this output. There's not even a team. It's one person that offsets this output. There's not even a team. It's one person that offsets this output. You think? What if they match up and Giannis starts two or three? Elbows and boxes, we call it a box and one. Giannis got smart enough. Box and one on Giannis.

But what if they get to game one? So the reality is... They hit four threes. That's right now. They're going to lead that team in the conference finals. They're acting like I'm saying they're going to lose. I'm saying there's one person that can offset it. Not a team.

There's one person that's going to average 30-something. He's going to be getting in the lane, and that's going to offset these chuck threes you're taking. You're taking, think about what I'm saying. Giannis won't average 30 against. Think about what I'm saying. They shot 42% from the three. They shot 42% from the three and lost. Because they're two-pointers, they made 13 twos.

That is not good. The other team is making 40, 32. Tatum versus Griegfried. He got to guard that man, too. Listen, Jason Tatum does not want to play against Giannis one-on-one. You do not want that. That's not even a good matchup. If you make 13 threes, if you make 13 layups, right?

And this team makes 33 layups. How many threes do you need to make just to catch that? Then if they make threes, do you have to match that to catch that? Then if they make threes, you have to match that. That'd be... Like, it's real calculation. But you would have to play trash-ass defense. Yeah. You'd have to give up 100% from the field.

And what about the rest of the... That's weird. You're not accounting for the defense. I said 50%. What about the rest of the Bucs that shoot threes? Are they going to not shoot threes anymore either? 50% is not part... But when the Bucs got out the first round... I said Giannis. I didn't say that, but I said Giannis% or it's not part of the... The win and the Bucs got out the first round.

I said Giannis. I didn't say that, but I said Giannis. I said Giannis. But we can stop the one guy. We can stop him. We can stop him. Or let Giannis do his thing and stop everybody else. Whichever one we do, if we make threes, we good. All right, let's keep this thing moving. We asked the chat, are the Celtics shooting lot of threes, too. If we make threes, we good. All right, well, let's keep this thing moving. We asked the chat, are the Celtics shooting too many threes?

82% of the chat said yes. They think everybody's shooting too many. But let's move on. So Jalen Brown said about guarding SGA after the game, it's tough, that boy good. SGA balled out on the court once again, and his marketing team did their thing in Boston after the game as well. Shout-out Converse.

So Mark Spears tweeted, the Shea Gildas Alexander logo was posted Batman style on some landmark spots in Boston tonight, including the Celtics home arena after the big Thunder win. Wow. Yeah, you're not. That's confidence. I like it. Because you got to plan that.

Shout out Converse. You got to plan that. I like it. Because you got to plan that. Shout out Converse. You got to plan that. I mean. So Gil, you've previously said that SGA's marketing needed to improve to help increase his visibility and bring more attention to what he's doing on the court. I'm looking at your face right now. Do you like the Batman-style logo projection from SGA and his marketing team after the win in Boston? You can give them love, Gil. It's okay.

2025. Look, they tried. I get it. I get it. They tried. It's a step. But how the fuck do we supposed to know? People walking through New York, how they supposed to know? We know what the Batman sign is because it's been printed. It's Batman. This is the first time we've seen this logo. We don't know what it is. Put the motherfucking man right there. Let us see. This is him. Like an Uber Eats. My delivery ready.

You're talking about walking down the street seeing this. You don't know what it is? Well, now you know. That could be a Chinese symbol. That's Koreatown. Let's just be honest. That could be a Chinese symbol. That's Koreatown. Koreatown is a Chinese symbol or Koreatown. I'm just saying.

I said or. I'm just saying. I said or. You're making it look crazy. I said or. You don't know what or is? No, I heard or, Gil. Not or what. You got the check. Not or what.

It was right there for you. Chinese or Koreatown. There you go. That is true because I had no idea what local that was. But they knew it would go viral as it did. Everybody's talking about it on social media. And now it had to be explained to a lot of people, but you know that that's the case. So it didn't go viral because it did. Everybody's talking about it on social media. And now it had to be explained to a lot of people, but you know that that's...

So it didn't go viral because you had to explain it. It went viral because... Yeah, because you had to explain it because nobody knows what it is. That's why if you are about marketing, you got to understand this is first you, this is first logo. No one knows what it is yet.

You have to put a face to the logo. So he should have been on this building with the logo so people can correlate the two. That's it. I wouldn't have minded the logo. That's just where you messed up. That's the only thing. Is that legal to put, like, somebody else's?

You can project things on the... Why people don't do that more often? They should have just put SGA MVP or something. Or we'll see you in June. Yeah, that's what he did. They should have just put SGA MVP or something. Or we'll see you in June. Yeah, that's weird. They should have put MVP or something. SGA's house. Yeah, something.

Because the logo's cool, but yeah, I was like, if they didn't put the tweet out, people would have been like, what is that? It was coordinated, and we are talking about it. Especially it's in Boston. If people weren't paying attention to the Celtic game, they would have been like, what the hell is that't if Spears didn't say this is what they did You look at that and you don't know what it is. I don't

Huh I say you probably put on his face what I'm saying is you still don't know what it is It's the problem like it we have to know what your logo is first, but right We know what's up crowd cuz we know what it is So if we see this logo anywhere on this was it is. So if we see this logo anywhere, and this was Gil's arena, but if we see your logo anywhere, we know where the logo comes from. Here is the first time we're seeing it. So it's like we got, we have the logo on the floor. People know.

We saw it at All Star Weekend. We've seen the shoe. Ain't this the first time Converse had like two stars? Yo, some of us were at the Converse party hanging out with FBF. They don't know. I know they don't know, but I'm just saying. It's a good start though. That's a great start.

We don't even know that. We don't even know that. We don't even know that, but I'm just saying. That's a good start, though. That's a great start. We don't even know that. We don't even know that. That's your first step. Dwayne Wade. They had Dwayne Wade early. Some of us were at the Converse function All-Star weekend, turning up with SGA and his pops.

Some of us. Deloitte, enjoying delicious Caribbean food, getting buckets of 14. Still waiting for shoes. Some of us. Still waiting for shoes. Size 14. MVP propaganda would shoes, some of us. Still waiting for shoes. Size 14. MVP propaganda would have been perfect for that. Deadly still waiting for shoes, sir. Size 14.

You know the address. But nonetheless. You said D-Wade, but I don't remember his shoes. Also would like a size 9 as well, if you don't mind. It was big, remember? Hm? Hm? Yeah, fall down, seven, get up.

Do you at least appreciate the attempt? No, no, I like the attempt. I mean, I get it, especially over there. It's upgrading. I do that in every goddamn city. Just add his face to it so we know now. Like, just regular people. Just pretend everybody's not basketball fans.

How about that? Let's start there. Pretend everybody's not basketball fans. So if you're going to put a logo, put whose logo is it so they can... Hey, Mom. Oh, my God, that's my favorite player. Can I get that? Put a little QR code up there.

Yeah, throw that in there. People gonna put their phones up. Everybody's gonna start telling me to stop begging. Begging has gotten me far. How did you come up with some of your marketing stuff, like Agent Zero and Hibachi and all that? Or did you? Stole it. Who you steal it from?

All right, don't say nothing. No, we can't say it. I stole Hibachi from Brennan Haywood. Brennan Haywood. Brennan Haywood, it was after one of the games. Motherfucking me and Larry, he was getting torched. Well, I was getting torched, but, you know, Larry was part of it. And he was like, man, they out there,

shit, motherfucker, you the hibachi style. I did cooking in chicken and shrimp. And I was like, I be cooking too, shit. I be having motherfuckers on the grill. And then I thought about it. Next press conference, I'm using that shit. And I came with that, yeah, I did motherfuckers sizzling, ah.

And then that's where it came from. You added this though, so you could look a little more And then if you wanna, I had a logo with it, with Benihana's, and guess whose face was there? Mine. No fucking logo, motherfucker. You know my face with the chef hat. Was that Benihana's, girl?

No, Benihana's collab with me. So the original is a Benihana shoe with my face and hat. So you had the Benihana's plug back in your head, Dan. Man, I'm just creative. OK. We see. We see every day. There's a lot of ways you can be creative.

Like what they're doing now, I 05. I collab with my shoe. I did Halo, Halo, Halo. So Microsoft made a shoe. Slam Magazine, as you know. Hey, Slam, you put me on the cover. I want you to create a shoe colorway. I got 20 shoe colorways coming out,

and then I hand-picked who I want. So we asked the chat, do you like the move by Converse and SGA? 69% said that they did like the move by Converse. Shout-out to SGA. Shout-out to Converse.

You knew what you signed up for. I apologize, Dildo.

Hey, that was the thing. And then I said put the condom on. Me too. Basketball covers a wide range of topics. Basketball players have diverse interests. Put the condom on. Put the no-jaws on. Basketball players have outside lives.

The moment I got kicked off hinge, I said, I'm all in on the basketball shit. Yes. I'm not going to go. I'm all in on the basketball shit. You didn't get kicked off hinge. Fuck the fucking thing. Man. You'll get a shot in your ass. Were you unhinged? I'm all in on that. Fuck the fucking thing. Go get that shot in your head. Were you unhinged?

I was. Okay. A little bit unhinged. Shout out to Rose Sparks. We appreciate y'all. Appreciate you sending Gil all the road that he can handle. But let's talk about Los Angeles Lakers, a topic we do not cover at all on the show.

Today is the start of a very tough stretch for the Lakers. Six games in eight days. Let's take a look at the schedule. Bron actually talked about it earlier. He's not playing, as you know, taking his customary March break to get ready for the playoff. But a few weeks ago, prior to his injury, Bron highlighted the upcoming slate on his IG story saying, This is insane. Ins insane in all caps, with several exclamation points after it.

This is an uncommon amount of games in a short time in today's NBA, but the Lakers' schedule was changed due to the wildfires that impacted Los Angeles back in January. For context, ESPN Analytics says the Lakers have the hardest remaining schedule in the NBA. Lakers are on the road at Milwaukee, then at Denver as a reunion with Hot Pockets tonight. Phoenix had the hardest schedule. Followed by another back-to-back at home

against the Suns and Spurs after one day off. Then they host the Bucs and Nuggets after another day off. That's crazy. Two L's to the Bucs. That's crazy. Two L's to the Lakers. So looking at this slate of games, six games on the schedule, eight days, what are expectations for the Lakers during the six games and eight-day stretch?

One and five. Brandon, that's not optimistic, sir. I mean, no brawn. That's fair. I just think with no brawn, I think, you know. I'm mad at it. One and five? I'm mad at it. One and five, two and four? I say two and four. I mean. I'm mad at it. One and five? I'm mad at it.

One and five, two and four. I say two and four. I don't. I say two and four. It doesn't do anything for us. Why are you not mad at that just for the fans watching at home? You already got her like you're saying. Because if six seed win all eight games,

we got to lose all of ours for us to be the six seed. So we get a win. We're still in fifth, fourth playing the same team. Then Bron comes back, we got to lose all of ours for us to be the sixth seed. So we get a win. We're still in fifth, fourth, playing the same team. Then Bron comes back, we're good. It's all math. You don't mind being fourth, fifth place in the Adam Silver Western Conference? No, I don't mind playing Houston. The Houston Rockets.

I do not mind playing Houston. I don't want to go to, what, jump up to third to play Golden State. No threat. I mean, everything's a threat. I don't want to play. Steph Curry? Yeah, I don't trust Steph. I don't want to play them.

I don't want to play them. I don't want to play Minnesota. No, I take them young motherfucking boys over there. What's wrong with y'all? No, I agree. Everything is strategy, though, right now. You don't want to get caught up in that room. Hey, Mr. Martin, it was a Everything is strategy though. Right now. Like you don't want to get caught up in that. Well, Mr. Mar...

Hey, was it game five, Klay? Game six, Klay. Missing Marge Braun. Missing Marge Braun, baby. We know when to take off. 0 for 6. Braun. Ooh.

They're not winning the game. Any? 0 for... They're going to win at least two. You think Luka's going to play six straight games? They beat San Antonio for sure. No, no. Luka's not playing six straight. They're going to win at least two. You think Luka's going to play six straight games? They beat San Antonio for sure. No, no, Luka's not playing six, right? They beat San Antonio.

Luka's playing four. They will lose the games, Luka. They beat San Antonio. Two seed still in play. You don't want the two seed to take on the play-in winner? No. You want the Houston Rockets. I want the Houston Rockets and I want OKC.

I want the two youngest teams. That is fair. Can you put that caption capture back up the schedule Playing team look at the fuck down in the fancy Clippers back Dallas and that only team maybe and they not playing bad Antonio could be San Antonio won't be they won't be six enough. Maybe Phoenix. No, they're not being Phoenix right now They got my power. They got power They got power make all those players got all those things got good players Beat walk of the last game Luca don't like that. Luca don't be out of that I'm going to that Milwaukee game games on the three. I don't know none of them Brandon

You will be at the Milwaukee. I'm sure for sure. Will you be dancing courtside? No, I'll be... No, it's here. The game's right there. There we go. Feed that up quick. There we go. We have it just ready to go. I didn't even ask that. That shit up quick. That was unplanned, unscripted.

That's... All right. Shout out, Paolo. Always ready. Quick on the draw. I didn't... I know, right? God damn.

I'm a pitcher, too. I know. Mr. B was hitting it, though, for those who don't recall. So, Gil, you like the Lakers in that fourth-fifth spot. Do you care if it's fourth or fifth? Would you rather have home court advantage against the Rockets or you don't mind going to Houston? Pop it up.

Brother, Lakers and Houston, that's a Laker. It's Lakers and Houston. Yeah. That's how I'm going to be old. I mean, we can sit here and pretend that Houston has a chance against LeBron and Luka. Okay, if we want to just have a conversation. But if we're going to look at it, if you're telling LeBron and Luka and that team, which road do you want to go?

Four, five, play them. Who hasn't been in the playoffs. They're unestablished as individual players, as really a team, them and then OKC versus trying to get to the 2-3, play against one of these teams down here who got veterans, got champions. You're talking about playing against the fucking Golden State of Minnesota, the Clipper team, a SAC, a Dallas. Well, we'll play Dallas. We'll play Dallas.

But a Phoenix Suns, then play Denver didn't play okay see yeah that's a harder road it's nobody like when they went to the Western Conference when they played Memphis first yeah yeah no problem what happened after that's why I give you if you don't really like just like making sure yeah I do know I'm saying I give it a he's talking about. Yeah. Like, you see the Blazers game last night. We're watching it. So, Blazers, it's 1-11, 1-10. Blazers had four possessions to score.

Chuck three, Chuck three, came down Chuck three, then tried to force a shot going inside. Like, those two threes, they got, like, someone got the ball. He's right here for the middie. He backs all the way up the chuck of three. Just get the two points. Get just, like, you know, these are the, this is what young, the young teams do. They don't understand how to win yet.

You want those mistakes in the playoffs. They're sitting there doing a bunch of stuff that veterans would never really do. So, Good, do you feel like the Lakers are the only team with that thought process? Are there other teams in the West

who are trying to eye on that fourth or fifth spot so they can get the thunder in the second round? I'm sure Golden State is sitting there trying to figure out how to get out

of Denver's way and trying to figure... He don't care who they got. I know he don't care, but, yeah, it's still Jokic or do we play Memphis? Jokic or Memphis, which one are you picking?

No matter. I'm an NBA champion. I'm ready for whatever. You was an NBA champion a couple years ago. I mean, no, I'm saying we got Jimmy over here. We've been hooping. Why would I be scared of anybody? Like, we've been here before.

Let's go. If I'm going to state, why would I care? We was already written off in the beginning. Now we made a trade and we was 11th and now we in sixth. Anybody can get it. You know what this sounds like? I'm just being honest. This sounds like everybody who was fighting Mike Tyson when he first came out.

I ain't scared. Yeah, I know, but we know what this is going to end like. Ding, ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding. Have you been watching Golden State been playing? Against who? You talking about Golden State. Against the Lakers?

No, Denver or playing against Memphis. I don't think the Warriors want to... He said, like, we should be trying to... I mean, the Golden State Warriors should be trying to play Memphis. I said it don't matter. Yeah, it don't matter for them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At this point.

Because Denver ain't the same like they used to be. Right. Mm-hmm. I mean, y'all got that guy, and we got another guy too that can get it going too. That's the good thing. Yeah, because MPJ, hey, Murray last night, 12 points. Stinks. MPJ, 10 points. That's a guard still. Stink.

Murray's going to have to go. I don't trust them two. I don't trust them two. I don't trust them. And then Gordon don't come in. So all you got is Westbrook and Joker, really. But you can't depend on them. They're not enough. They win this back to the Thunder.

When you watch them, they are not as dominant as people would think. What Yoke is, they do not have the pieces he actually needs dominant as people would think. They don't... What Yoakish needs, they do not have the pieces he actually needs to stop you from doubling me. Like, they're sitting there like, Westbrook's gonna have to be on fire. He's gonna have to hit a few threes before I even look at him.

Christian Brown, you're gonna have to hit a couple threes for us to look at you. Peyton Watson, you're gonna have to hit something. If all three of you niggas is on the court, oh, have fun. Christian Brown included in that three.

Yeah, we want you guys to shoot the threes. We want to see what you can do. MPJ, MPJ, listen, we know you're the three-point shooter, so we're going to deny you. No KCP, so. But I think they put in

a different offense without seeing a wrinkle that allows those cuts to get him those easy easy assists they'd like double triple cuts so now they're not relying on the three as much because they don't got the three-point shooter right but if mp if mpj who got paid how much a lot of money to give me 10 points right but then you got bubble Murray, who we thought was going to jump out here and be real Robin, the guy who's supposed to take us over the top every playoffs.

He don't look like he want to play no more. Like watching it in real time, he don't look like. He look like he let Russ come in and fuck up his whole shit. I will put Russ at the point, put him at the two. He trying it. That's what they did last night. No, last night it was him trying to make plays, and then he's throwing to Russ, and Russ is the one in the three.

But Gordon didn't play, so they started Russ. Yeah, they started Russ. No, Christian Brown. No, Christian. And Russ has been starting off and on. Christian Brown came in, but to Gil's point, Jamal Murray, I think, was initiating the offense. He's initiating the offense, and he has two non-great shooters

that he's relying to, And that's the problem. There was plays where he went in this normal play where everyone comes in, he throws that to the corner, he's sitting there, and then he's just throwing up some shit. I'm like, see, I can't trust the. The option that Denver has when he's doing that is he's supposed to make a play. He's not supposed to pass that. That's why they got Russ in.

So when he's making the pass, Russ is surprised because he's not over here to get the pass. Yeah. So he's usually doing the pick and roll with Joker, if you remember. Them two.

So what they're doing is they're taking that away from him, forcing him to give it up, and once he gives it up, he don't get it back, and he's not, he's not useful after that. Like, I'll do the,

I'll do the Russ, Russ in that pick and roll, so when, when Russ has to pass it. Don't have to swing, swing. I it, there's Murray with the ball. Murray's my shooter. I know we say Murray's not like an all-star, but why don't he become a, like, why he's never in that conversation?

Like, he averaged 21 points at number two. But you put Gorland, you put Williams. You see the motherfuckers? You see the motherfuckers in the West? You see the motherfuckers in the West? You see the motherfuckers in the West? You see all these people. You see the motherfuckers in the West? But I'm just saying, but this been before that.

You see the motherfuckers that's been in the West? Think about the West guard. You got Shea, you got Luka, you have Curry. But Luka didn't make it this year. No, I'm just saying. I get what you're saying, but first team get there before that it was name. It was Dame not Dame and James Harden It's rough down this motherfucker So Jamal Murray's average 20 plus points per game in his last four active season

That's what he's never got this And they've been like one, two, or three. Got that Tony Parker. Why only one person from them are always good? And they always like the one last three. People don't talk about it. But people don't talk about it. Question for what you guys are saying about the Warriors. Being one of the best players.

Tony Parker's all-time great, nigga. No, but is he all-time great outside of the team success? You take away the five rings. He got more playoff points, man. He got more playoff points than anybody. No, I'm just saying, if you take away the five rings. You got more playoff points, man. You got more playoff points than anybody. No, I'm just saying, if you take away the five rings, what does he stand on? His field goal percentage.

He got more playoff points. As a point guard. He got more playoff points than everybody else. I think he has the highest field goal percentage as a point guard. I want to go back to something you two said. As the Warriors, you don't care who you're playing, right? As a champion, you don't care. But are you mindful of, I want a five-game, six-game series

versus I don't want... I could beat anybody of, I want a five game, six game series versus I don't want, I could beat anybody, but I want to take them to seven and now I'm tired going into that next round. Well, I want someone, what's the easiest path? Is that on your mind at all as you're trying to map this out? Yeah, I mean, for sure. Like, yeah, we could beat anybody, but shit,

if I got to play seven-seven, then, you know, roll into that next round. I mean, I just think the way the Warriors have been playing, like, you know, they've been struggling. So now that they on the up and up, it's like, well, we not going to just start losing games and just start taking it like, you know, like, hey, well, let's just let's just see who's going to be there. It's like, man, we got to keep winning. We got Jimmy Butler off the trade. He's going to be on one. So if I'm going to state and Steph said he won his fifth ring, whoever wants it, let's go.

That's called a dummy mission though. How? Because think about Boston's road to the championship last year. Did they even sweat? We was talking about, oh, they don't look, they don't even look. What was Dallas' road to the championship? Right? Fighting, nailed, like, they ain't fighting for their life. By the time you back, but you're like, this is a postseason. This is a postseason. Nobody.

You're fighting for your life. She's rested. Who has a better chance now? You're sitting there limping into the motherfucker chair machine. We got here. We're going 4-1 you. But you forgetting. We're for one you but you forget we don't for one you you don't have no for one you're on an empty tank They've already done it though. The Warriors have already been to do it

No, no, no, no, no, not the Warriors two players Have proven to do it one's gone. The rest of them people are gone. Two of them are gone. Clay and Jordan Poole. But I'm saying Steph has a spirit to know that even with that team, they were counted out. And he said, man, you know what? This is the

best championship because nobody thought we could fucking do that shit. This is the one that means the most. And this one, if he wins this one, it could be even more because it's like we really counted them out but it's still like burning building get out like get out but it's still a team in the west that you would want to play the first time is houston you're saying no no no no no it's good no for him i'd rather every team i'd rather play job i'll play

memphis i'd rather play as a team right mem is not going to make us work like seven games. Jokic, we're going to have to work seven games. Memphis don't like the Warriors? I don't give a fuck what they like. They got Memphis Grizzlies? They don't like the Warriors? Man, listen, Memphis... Who can score 50 on there?

Who can score 50? I mean, probably Jock. He gets hot. Bane? Bane? No. Bane? They play as a nice little group. They always have, though. It's grit and grind. if it gets hot. Bane? No. Bane? No. Bane? They don't, they play as a nice little group.

They always have though. It's grit and grind. That's to get it out the middle. Nah, it's not worth it to grit and grind. They over there. They got Jimmy Bullard too, man. He's on one. He been there twice?

They got to keep it in. Regardless of one of them motherfucking guys. They got to keep it in. Momentum for them is going to be everything. Let's keep this moving. I ain't going to sleep on the Warriors. I ain't going to sleep on them. Oh, hell no.

Now that they made the, you know, the adjustments, I was like, yo, get the fuck out of here. That championship year, what was that, 21-22? I'm just saying, they there, so don't... You gotta play them. 11-6 is different. Going from 11-6 is way different. And we got 20 games left? We gotta win every game right now.

They can get to three. Let's talk Little Lakers. So, Bryan out for extended stretch. 20 games left? Oh, we got to win every game right now. They can get to three. Let's talk Little Lakers. So, Bron out for extended stretch, dealing with the groin strain. How much pressure is on Luka to carry the Lakers right now? Or is there any pressure at all on Luka? Pressure?

He just got there. But he here now. They're in second right now, right? Third. Fourth, excuse me. Don't let the fault for like a fan very demanding fourth now They have to they've stumbled a little bit. It's playing me Grizzlies and Nuggets jumped him Pressure I don't know he just got there Half game in front of the rocker. He just got the pressure for what you got pressure on you

Got no pressure in front of the Rockets. B.B. just got there. Pressure for what? You got pressure on you? No! You don't got no pressure. No. You just got there. You know you got pressure. Hey, I got pressure to perform at the highest level to my capability. You got to hit that first shot. Luka got pressure and you know it.

I'm not pressure. Major pressure. Well, let's revisit this when this little span comes and goes. This little span is tough. He's in Lakers Nation right now. No, but I'm saying, like, boo-wah. He didn't ask for this. But it's here.

It's here. We asked for this. What do you mean he didn't ask for it? We asked for this. Or maybe he did. We don't know. He traded me over. He traded that man over.

We don't know. We don't really know what happened, but... Yeah, man. Cinos are profitable. It's a chance for the... Pressure for Luka? No. That's what I said. You just said... You just said 0 and 6. If you're saying we're gonna be in 0 and 6,

goddamn it, I have no pressure. No pressure at all. I went 1 and 5. I did better than you thought. But he's saying 0 and 6. But if they go 0-6, goddamn it, I have no pressure. No pressure at all. I went 1-5. I did better than you thought. But he's saying 0-6. But if they go 0-6, I'm going to be on Luka right now. Yeah, that's not the type of pressure you want. If you're supposed to be the Luka for the future, I'm supposed to be building this Lakers team for the future.

You're the person we're building around. Don't get us some dub. In the middle of the night, they clap along. But you here, Luka, put the pressure... Listen, if here, Luca, put the pressure. Listen, if you're going to put the pressure on me, say some shit like 5-1, 4-2, and then if I'm failing by that,

then you'll be like, oh, so you can't do it. You say I support. You look at the schedule and say, y'all supposed to go 0-6. Well, bitch, there ain't no pressure now. Everybody just go out there and play. Get one win. We exceeded what they thought.

We did exceed expectations. And I was just like, hey, wait, we we exceeded what they thought. Eh. We did exceed expectations. I mean, they've already played. They've already played the last game. But I was just like, hey, we want more than you thought we were. This little span is going to be, and it's going to be hard. You know what? I like that, because if we could just lay the finish line at one win, and you cool with that, we cool with that.

So 0 for 6, 1 for 6, and you cool with that. Actually, you know what? We cool with that. We cool with that. Hey, hey. It's a good time. Nah, 1 for 6, and you cool with that? It's not the finish line. You know what? We cool with that. It's a good time. Nah, it is pressure, dog. It's a lot of pressure. Like, bro, this is the second half of the season.

This is L.A. The postseason is coming. Bro, we need to see what you about to do. We know what he about to do. Luca, are we healthy yet? Luca. We know what he do. Why do I have to prove myself? Why do all of a sudden does Luca have to prove himself to do anything? We know what he do. Ass is his name. He's a proven myself. That's what I'm saying.

Why do all of a sudden does Luka have to prove himself to do anything? He's been proven. He's proven it. He proved he wasn't 270. He wasn't. He's done proved that. He done shut them up. He looks very slender.

I will say that. I mean, but I'm just saying he's came out and he's let you know what's happening. But he's still Luka. He still don't play defense. You know what I mean? He still don't play defense Don't try to use shit I don't use it I got into the championship doing the best They defense

Somebody has to stop somebody in place. They couldn't stop me. Yeah. We stopped you. We stopped you. You at home. We stopped you. You at home. What are you talking about?

You didn't stop me to get to the championship. You stopped me in the championship. You didn't stop me from getting to the championship. Right. That's because we have other players over there that's playing defense and taking a lot of slack off. I'm not talking about the championship. Whatever your complaint is today, I got a team to the championship with that. Yeah.

And I'm telling you right now, Kyrie Irving. My team today is better than Dallas last year. Nah, not a chance. You crazy as fuck. You must be high. You high as fuck. You high as fuck. That's dope.

We about to find out, ain't we? We about to find out. We about to find out. Wait, wait. You said the Lakers team is better than the Dallas team? Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. We're about to find out. We're about to find out. Wait, wait. We're about to find out. He said the Laker team is better than the Dallas team. The Laker team now is better than the Dallas team.

We're about to find out. Okay, well, y'all better get to the finals then. Yeah. I want to see this shit. No, LeBron, that's not it. What you mean? That's not it. You guys are better than the team last year.

You should make it to the finals. You should make it to the goddamn finals this year. How it works. How it works. But your team is better. Everybody knows that. This ain't last year. This is a new year. You should make it to the final. You should make it to the goddamn final. How it work? But your team is better. This ain't last year. This is a new year. Look how he moved the goalposts. It's a new year. But your team is better. Your team's got better too.

Your team's got better. Your team's better, but what? He just got better. But it don't work like that. Who's better? Everybody in the state is better. What team got better? Because Minnesota got better. But it don't work like that. Who was better? Everybody in the state is better. What team got better? Because Minnesota got worse. And Memphis got worse.

Did the Warriors get better, Mr. Warriors got better? They just got better. Warriors got better. I didn't ask when. Memphis got better? Where they were last? No, no, no.

I said, no. Memphis got better. No, no, no. They got worse. Yeah. But where they last year? They got better. They got better.

Did the Thunder get better? Golden State got better. The Thunder got better. At the All-Star break, they got better. It don't matter. They got better. You the Thunder get better? Golden State got better. At the All-Star break, they got better. It don't matter. They got better. You can't say the same thing. So a lot of teams didn't get better this year.

So the Lakers got better than Dallas that went to the finals. This team should get to the finals. They should. 100%. 100%. That's logic. That's not logic. Y'all got two of the best players.

You got a better team than the Dallas team. You should make it to the finals. Last year's team. You have a better team than the Dallas team. You should make it to the finals. Last year's team. You have a better team than last year's team. That's like you beat them. You should make it to the finals. Right, and they got the goat, right? And they got the goat.

Come on, goat. Come on, goat. Take him to the promised land, goat. And they got the goat. And his son. If I beat him, they got the goat in. If I beat him one-on-one, and you beat me one-on-one, do you think you can beat him one-on-one because you beat me and I beat him?

That's not how it works. Wait, say it again. I bust his ass one-on-one. You bust my ass one-on-one. Do you think you can beat him? Why? Because I already beat you, and you beat him. But that's not how it works.

Oh, my Lord. Oh, my Lord. Oh, yeah. Technically, yes, but you still got to play. I know back in the day. He said, do he think he can beat him? So it's about matchup, right? Yes, it's about matchup.

He said, do you think I can? He said, yes. Yeah, because he beat him. But my skill level that got me to win over him, that might not be his skill level over him. Exactly. See, he thinks he can beat Nick anyway.

This is what they're not understanding. If he's a post-up player and he can't post me up, he can post him up. It's a different game. That's how it works. What you do against somebody don't make you better than somebody else. The reason why I know I'm better than somebody else. Don't try.

A lot of people do that. But listen, if we're playing one on one, of course I'm going to think I'm better than both of you. I play both ends. I play both ends. I know I'm better than both of y'all. I play both ends. For one, I'm going to get a stop.

Both of y'all don't play defense. Y'all can't guard me. I can tell you this right now. If there's a referee... Hold on. We can go right now. If there's a referee out there,

you're too little. All this shit right here you're a little dude you gotta play defense I'm gonna get a stop no you're not I did get a stop I always get a stop on you

I get a stop on both of y'all what are you talking about over here playing defense like this You'll get off calf muscle poppy please get off If he don't ditch your ass, I'll do it to you. Oh, boo! Goddamn, Gilbert's all in my nuts. All right, that's it. Goddamn. Too much? Ditch on your chip.

Well, sit your ass down. You don't have much to do for your chip. He did that on purpose. Back side of the couch. That's why you need to sit your ass down, Gilbert. Yeah, he did that on purpose. Sit your ass down. Hold on, watch this.

We little Well, I never your name is up when I was doing this I had I was I'm not drunk. I have not drinking anything is Red Bull Where anything can happen. So before we continue, we were talking Lakers. As a reminder, me and Gil will be doing a playback watch party tonight for the Lakers-Bucks game.

Go to playback.tv slash Gilbert Arenas if you want to join the fun. Playback free to join. Much better if you have a League Pass subscription, but they will be giving away League Pass codes from time to time as well. Game starts at 4.30 Pacific, 7.30 p.m. Eastern. Don't meet us there. Beat us there. Lakers-Bucks live watch party on playback tonight. So we talked about the Lakers. Let's talk about the Mavs. Mavs fans had a tough time lately. After trading Luka, they have experienced a rash of injuries trying to hold on to the final playing spot in Adam Silver's Western Conference.

At one point earlier this week against the Suns, they only had seven available players at once, making it difficult for Jason Kidd to go to his bench, even when players were tired. Shout out Timbs. Mavs head coach Jason Kidd recapped what that was like. Oh, never seen this.

Never been in a game that we could not take someone out to rest them because we had no one to put in. That's just, you know, the end of the bench, normally you can put someone in. If not in clothes, they were in the back getting stitches or could not move or walk. So it's tough. It's tough.

It is what it is, though. I mean, we got to keep pushing forward. So one person who has not lost faith in the Mavs is Klay Thompson, one of the few remaining healthy Mavericks players. Klay signed a three-year deal with the Mavs this past offseason. While things have not gone as planned this year, Klay likes their chances in the near future. Here's a recent quote from Klay.

He said, I still believe in this franchise. I'm here for two more seasons after this. Klay's father, Michael Thompson, disagrees. He says, Klay is stuck in purgatory. Clay, you should have listened to your daddy and came to the Lakers. We've seen you at the Sparks-Fever game. We told you what time it was. You did not listen. Shout out Michael Thompson.

Good man. Do you share Clay's faith that the Mavs can turn it around next season? Next season? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Thank you, good. Depends on who comes. Yeah, for sure. But this is... Hmm. Thank you, good. Depends on who comes.

No, I mean, you still got... Yeah, they gotta bring some pieces in. You play... I mean, Kyrie's gonna... I mean, he's missing next season, kinda. Is he? What? I mean, you're talking about 10, 12 months.

Yeah. Yeah. But... So they're not gonna be... All right. I mean, unless they get a big free agent. They could. Well, ain't this the only way the Phoenix can make the play?

Because of all this happening with Dallas? It is a possibility, Swaggy. Suns currently 11th, or 2 and 1 half games behind the Mavs with that final playing spot. 16 games left in the season. You've got to be optimistic, especially when it comes to injuries. I mean, but what is he going to say?

Right, he's signed his contract. I mean, he's a professional. Mm-hmm. Is he going to say, yeah, nah, we fucked? We would agree with him. Kai down here, 80, we don't know what's going on, man. I'm still getting paid, though. I got two more years, shit, we on up out of here.

No, I mean, you can't say that, so he's going to sound like an actual professional who's won fucking four championships. Four of them things. So let's keep it shifted. Back in 2023, Gil was on The Old Man and the Three with then podcaster J.J. Redick, now Lakers head coach,

possible Coach of the Year candidate. 2020 what? 2023. May 2023, Gil, you were on The Old Man and Three with J.J. Redick. Let's take a listen at what you said in May of 2023. Oh, shit. You know, Boston has a chance with, you know, Tatum, young guy, right? Brown, very young guy.

They're holding in a big market. LA, once LeBron goes, they're gonna have to try to fill that void. If that's trying to get John Moran over there, I don't see Dallas giving up Luka. They're not that dumb. So Gil, I have news for you. The Mavs are in fact dumb. That dumb. Dumb, they're dumb. Yeah, Gil are in fact dumb. That dumb. That dumb. Yeah, Gil!

They're dumb! Yeah, Gil! You said they're not that dumb. Shit. I forgot about that. I forgot about that. I was just... We be talking a lot of shit.

I was just thinking about the stars that Lakers will go after. We talk a lot of shit. I bet we forget. We be wanting to forget. That's crazy. He said, not that dumb. I was just thinking about the stars that Lakers will go after. We talk a lot of shit. I bet we forget. We'd be wanting to forget. That's great. Gills for dummies.

Not to be confused with shots for dummies. That was a valid, that was very valid at the time. No, that's not to say nobody had done the kibble of bats. Like, I'm just... They got Luke and JJ. They got both of them. As producers, I pointed out, they got both of them. I'm just saying, I'm just saying.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Nobody that done to give up that's like Produced I pointed out that is not a girl sure dominance because you said they wouldn't be that dumb they were in fact I don't know. I'll prove you wrong. I mean, but just the thought that I think they took that as a challenge I did a tall really at the two players that I was thinking that like like Lakers were thinking after. We're thinking of like even free agency, not even a trade. Not even a trade. That was actually the conversation around the time he actually said that. What, a trade? That the fantasy situation would be Luka coming to LA.

Via trade or just in general? Just in general, just to get him there. Out of that market, into that market. It was a conversation about that. He said they wouldn't be dumb enough to just give him up. And they did. And that fantasy became a reality. That's crazy.

That's funny. Moved fast in spurts. Do you see these shoes I got on and that slippery ass? I was nervous because I didn't want us to get hurt. You were nowhere near me. I spent off. It's the... So listen, so we don't...

That's my move. That's the only move I didn't get back to talking about this he called it he told me I called it I could have took off on you too

I knew it was listen I let him go where was I you was gone I'm over there with Gil like damn our time this shit is over I could have took off

on you too how did they get back to this conversation no because no because we got the scrimmage on the 20th at the Sparks, and we're going to play one-on-one. I could have took off on you, too, when I did the spin,

but I just snatched back because I don't know if I want to tear nothing. You really tried to snatch. When y'all go to the Sparks male practice player trial, if somebody y'all end up getting cut, how are you going to feel about it? I'm not getting cut. What if you don't make it? If they cut me, the sparks cut me. Your feelings hurt.

Huh? Your feelings are going to be hurt. I mean, how much can I pay? I'm a Jawanaman. I'm a Jawanaman. This is my, I'm trying to audition for the team. I'm going to pay like 10 grand. You imagine, retired.

We're going to Jawanaman that shit. We're going to come back. That's very smart. Can you imagine? We're gonna go Joanna Man that shit. We're gonna come back. That's very smart. That's actually... That's a very smart thing to do. That's a very good idea. Retired pros coming to be on the practice team. Lexi, you brought this to the arena today,

so technically you deserve the credit for it. Yeah, sorry. There was no... Sorry I gave up this idea, guys. Prior to you giving us the information... It just came up on the timeline. April 12th, they would have been at the crib not doing anything. I can't do it.

That's crazy. Now we need you. I can't do it. We need you to clothesline them motherfuckers back. You got to. You got to. You got to. I need this.

Bro, please. Bro, come set the screen. We don't need you to turn it off. We don't need you. I don't care if it's a girl, a grandma, a kid. I don't care. He said I don't turn it off. Set that screen. I'm't care. He said, I don't care at all. I'm going to go ahead.

They're going to kick us out. They're going to kick us out. When you practice with us, you have to show a bit of restraint. No, I'm going to take the ball from you every time. Just a bit. Just going to take it from you. Give me the ball. Because it's our season.

It's not about y'all. It's about us. It's about y'all. I'm definitely picking Kelsey Plum. I'm definitely picking Kelsey Plum.. I'm definitely picking Kelsey Plumka. Why would I be easy on you? No, I didn't say go easy, but like, you don't have to like, we're not men. I don't have to take the ball?

Kelsey Plumka, watch out. If you can go against us in sports, give me the ball. Like, you're not going to run us over like, no, why? Because you're in the way. Kelsey Plumka, watch out. Yeah, I'm about to be like, what? First day of practice. 94.

Yes. Yes. Welcome to LA. What we doing? Kelsey Blum, welcome to LA. Welcome to LA. What's up? What you thought this was?

You ain't never got to worry about being picked up by nobody. You know what I mean about being dunked on? You can jump for shit. You can block that shit out of here. You ain't got to for a dunk though. No dunks. Ain't going to be no dunks tonight. You know when you see somebody coming down the lane,

man, get that shit out of here. Get that shit out of here. Oh, I'm going to get this one though. Oh, this one I'm going to get. No. See, men's egos be a little bit. We support the WNBA here in Gills Arena. Shout out to them. Sure do.

Seattle Storms. Lexi Brown here in the arena. Oh, man. Can you imagine if you were still on the Sparks and they show up to practice? It would be unserious. Get out. Get out.

Sit down. That shit about to be funny. Hell no. Kelsey Plum, if you are watching this episode of Gills Arena, Brandon said he will pick you up 94 feet. I was going to help her ball handling. I'm making the practice squad. I'm going to make the team.

94 feet, lock it. I'm going with a lace front. With a what? I'm coming with a lace front. I'm trying to beat Joanna. You don't have to do that. I'm trying to beat Joanna. I'm trying to beat Joanna.

Y'all trying to play. It's the male team tryout. Are you trying to make a Sparks? This is not a Sparks tryout either. This shit for me, dude. They said they trying to redo Joanna Manchin. You want to put a lace front on? I'm coming with a lace front.

Nick, you don't have to do all that no more. Yeah, you don't have to do it. Just identify, bro. Just say, I come in as a WNBA player today. That's what I am. And they're going to say, okay. My NBA career is over. I as a WNBA player today. That's what I am. And they're going to say, okay. My NBA career is over. I'm a WNBA player.

Nicholas Young, okay. It's a she. That's cool. It's a they. Back to the math. Call me Nicky that day. Nicky. Nicky Young.

Back to the math. Back to the math. We were at Dog Bowl this past weekend. And an underdog employee whose identity we will protect, Mavs season ticket holder, who was at a protest following the Luka trade, he had an interesting shirt that we want to share with you guys, a very interesting shirt that we saw at the underdog Dog Bowl in San Diego.

It said, Investigate Dumont, Fire Nico, Cheer for the names on the back, not the front. MFFL, What is that? Mavs Fans for Life? 77, right? Mavs Luca for Life. Right? That's cute.

Mavs Fans for Life has been adjusted to the 77 for Luca Donchik, former Mav. On the back of the shirt, crossed out Mavs logo. Has this ever happened to an organization before? No. That's a good print on that back of that shirt. I've never seen anything like this against an organization before. That's some topspin.

I like that. The quality look crazy. I know that was a $20 shirt. He wore this willingly at a very public event. $40 shirt. Dog ball tree. God knows. That's the front and the back.

God knows. That's a cost double. Very wordy. We make a shirt. You know. Well, technically... Don't do that right now. You said what?

Technically, it wasn't a tree, but it was when Shaq was up in Orlando and Orlando didn't know what salaries were at the time and they put, should Shaq get this contract? And it was like 90 90 some percent said no. Told them not to do it. Don't do it. Told them not to do it.

They only had him four years and then boom. Told them not to do it. But a very passionate Mavs fan, I think just a small sampling of what Mavs fans are feeling out there. We would share in your tragedy, but we are Lakers fans, we appreciate the stupidity that your franchise has shown in giving us Luka Doncic. But let's move on to Mostly Fans.

Hey, it's just like when Charlotte gave up Shea. Who? Who? Who? When Charlotte? Charlotte? I don't know if Charlotte drafted. Yeah, I don't know if Charlotte drafted.

Oh, they had that pick? Oh, yeah. pick a draft a shade and gave him the Clippers No, no Kobe deal was already planned That was already that was already in the works because Lakers didn't have a they didn't ever pick. Oh, yeah He's right a mere diva, they didn't? Yeah, he traded. For Vladimir Divac, right? I'm pulling it over. That's what Kobe was. Yeah, but that was pre-planned. Oh, I forgot to mention the dude from Portland.

He's cold. The white boy. Then, then, then. I just wanted to mention him. Danny. Danny. Danny. Yeah, he's cold. He's the next one.

Y'all can say all this shit about Luka and all that shit. That dude right there, cold. Was he in Washington? He was in Washington. He's a nice one. I'm gonna say all this shit about Luca all that shit that do right there cold Was he in what he was in Washington? Yes He was killing that oh, that's the motherfucker that got that fucked up by Jordan Poole That's the guy who fucked up Jordan Poole. Oh, we were Like oh when he was yeah Jordan Poole was like, damn. That's what, that dude right there.

Okay, okay. So SGA was traded for Miles Bridges and two future second round picks. That 2018 draft. You would change that? I don't know. Because of what was happening instantly before Miles got in trouble. He was going crazy.

I mean, in hindsight, it's like... Yeah, but at the time... And he's still a big time, but you didn't see Shea being Shea, though. You seen Miles being something. Not even in the Clippers, you didn't even see. I mean, Doc said... My dad was there when Shea was there, and he told him not to trade him. Doc seen it. He said he seen it.

He was like, I don't want to trade that kid. He was trying to convince Kawhi. He had to work as it. He was trying to convince Kawhi that we didn't need Paul George, we got somebody. He was like, nah, fuck all that. Mm-hmm. I'd say fuck all that. Nah, I mean, I'm paraphrasing.

He probably just gave him a look with no words. I mean, I didn't get my goddamn Paul George over here and go, fuck what you talking about. Bad decision I made. But now let's move on to Mostly Fans. Gil making up draft picks, intern draft. Now, I just told you, yeah, I'm right. Young Abu, yeah, I'm right, goddamn it.

Call out the check, Gil. He got drafted by Charlotte. Some of y'all in the chat are very mean-spirited, okay? Support the show. Support the movement. We're giving y'all $1,000. Yeah, we're giving out $1,000 every day. We're giving y'all thousands of dollars every single day. We ain'tirited, okay? Support the show. Support the movement. We're giving out $1,000. We're giving out $1,000 every day. We're giving out thousands of dollars every moment of the day.

I'm just... No. It's the underdog. About under... No, it's our bread, too, Gil. We are the vessel, as you like to say. We are the vessel for that $1,000 from underdog. But our first question from underdog user,

Pills2xx. Pills2xx. Pills2xx, not sure what kind of pills they are, but Lexi, what did you think about the three-on-three unrivaled league? What did I think of it? What did you think about unrivaled? I thought it was cool. I thought it was a good opportunity to have more places to play in the offseason.

The money obviously was amazing. The facilities looked amazing. It looked great on TV. So, so I mean I play in a different off season league so I'm all here for the more opportunities for everybody but athletes are limited for those but again 7th on the leaderboard

but again both of our leagues combined that's still about 80 spots so that's still 60 now almost 70 players that still don't have a place to play in the offseason. So I'm just hoping that our league grows, Unrivaled grows,

and more of us can stay stateside. In the U.S. of A. Yeah. God bless America. Only in America. All right, let's move on to our next question

from underdog user King Shavey. What's up, girls arena? So my question today is, what is the worst take that you yourself have said on the couch? Because I'm not going to lie, Gil. That take about Stephen Curry not being double-teamed or triple-teamed, whatever the fuck, that shit was crazy.

I ain't going to lie. Thank you, King Shavey, for not lying. And we have $100 coming to you from Underdog. What is the worst take you've said on the couch? It's not the worst take I've said on the couch, but my worst take was when I first seen Giannis, I said he reminds me of Karolinko. Damn.

That was one. Yeah, that was bad. And then when Curry was coming in, I just said, he's a light-skinned JJ Redick. I was off. A little bit. Way, way, way, way. It was way, way, way off.

It wasn't even close. He's a light-skinned JJ? OK. I was like, yeah, he's a light-skinned. Because when they showed it, I was like, oh, he's a JJ Redick, you know? Light-skinned JJ? Okay. I was like, yeah, he's a light-skinned. Because, you know, when they showed it, I was like, oh, he's a JJ Redick, you know. Light-skinned, you know. Jimmy Fredette, because it's not like I watched, you know.

Yeah, I was just, I missed all of it. Just swing. Steph, hope you are not watching this. It happens. We like gentlemen's kongolais. That was a big one. Mr. B. I ain't got no bad takes.

I'm hoping that you said that. Speak from the heart. You speak... Speak from what I see in my eyes. Man of God, speak from the heart. We got the same eyes, everybody's... You had a birthday party? You just said yesterday you had a bad take.

Which one? Donovan Mitchell being the number one option on the championship team. That's not a bad take yet. Not yet. We don't know. You gotta prove it. What you mean? He hasn't won a championship.

You gotta get it done. So why did you say it? So you wasn't taking it back? No, I said he's been playing like the number one. He said it was a top five, too. He wasn't a top five guard, either. Me? No, no, I think I had done it. No, I said Jason Tatum was a top five Celtic. Yet.

Do you feel like that was a bad take? The Tatum? No, I said yet. Because you did ask. It wasn't a take. You just asked a question. Because it is in front of you. I like my takes. That's when I'm drunk. Tatum said he will see you in St. Louis. Donovan Mitchell was in the top five.

Swaggy, what's your worst take that you've said on this couch? Well, the worst take I heard was about Kobe. I don't say them, but I hear them, and I heard Gil say some shit about Kobe. I said he was a sidekick. He was a robin. He was a robin. What was the name? What we say Kobe was? He was a robin. Not a sidekick.

Not a corner boy. It was Something else you use the name He was a Robin to the three time the the the MVP and in grocery bag was it a girl That's the worst take yeah, So he was the number one option? Who? In 2000, 2001, 2002. Toby? So if it's a worst take, he has to be the number one option.

If you say he is 1B, that is number two. There's a 1A. B comes out. That is second. So for my take to be bad, you have to say he's number number one. He's number one. It came with like, he's not even top 10. Nobody said none of that. No, he did. It was a lot of that. I said, no, no, no. I said exactly what I said.

So don't add. You said in that era. I said, don't add nothing to it. I said he was a Robin to Shaquille O'Neal, those three championships. It was a whole take that started it. I said what I said. So if you want to put him 1B to Shaq in 2000, 2001, 2002, you can't put him 1A for a guy who won the MVP three times MVP. Shaq was the best player in the NBA those three years.

So if you say he's 1B, I'm not saying anything dumb. You have to put him 1A for my take to be bad. I did. That's... I did. All right, well, let's move over to this side of the couch. You know, it's not... I mean, it's reality. Do you have him 1A in 2000? No. Okay, no. Nobody?

I merely host. I'm just asking. Do you have him as Robin? What is 1B? What the fuck? 1B is Robin. Huh? No, 1B is Superman. 1B is Superman? No, 1A is fuck? 1B is Robin. Huh? No, 1B is Superman. 1B is Superman? No, 1A is Superman. 1B is Batman.

Who's bigger? 1B is whoever's in the Justice League. Huh? You said what? 1B is whoever's in the Justice League that you want to be. Whatever 1B wants. Whoever the fuck you want to be. As long as it's not Superman.

It ain't Robin. Yeah. Robin is the assistant. Man. So who's the best superhero?. Robin is the assistant. Man. So who's the best superhero? He ain't no assistant. Okay. So who's the best superhero?

Batman. If it ain't Superman. Dr. Manhattan. How about this? Let's try this. Don't fuck with me. I do this. Elon Musk is the... Who's the richest...

I was going to say still. I got a bunch of superheroes on my wall. I was going to say still, but... I was bringing them here one by one and explaining each superpower. And you're going to make me use my superpowers in here in a second. That's a fucking mask over there I just got through using over there.

Hey, talk your shit. Who is the richest person in the world? Probably Elon Musk. Elon Musk, right? Probably. Or Jeff Bezos. If Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk was in the same room,

one of them is one fucking B, right? One is calling the other a broke one. Yeah, one of them is one fucking B, right? One is calling the other a broke one. Yeah, one of them is calling the other one a broke one. Technically, yes. Get this broke nigga out of here. Yeah, when he's not in a room with Shaquille O'Neal,

Batman is the big, yeah, what's happening, big dog? I am the king. There's only one person that offset him. Superman, the nigga who can't die. That's who he had

on his team. I'm not saying he's a sidekick to everybody else. Superman was flying to the destination and he got there and he seen Batman

and he's like, how you get here so fast? He's like, I flew, motherfucker. Batman asked Superman how did you get here. I flew, motherfucker. You ain't the only one

that can fly. Nigga, I have a billion, million, trillion dollars. Batman asked Superman how did you do? I flew, motherfucker. You ain't the only one that can fly. You drove, Batman. Nigga, I have a billion, million, trillion dollars. I got here the same time you did. Motherfucker, you ain't special. So Batman can get there just as fast as Superman. The special part is this. When we both take off our clothes,

when we both take off our clothes, Batman can die. Superman is still Superman. He can be in his suit wearing clothes. You throw a rocket, he's still Superman. I can put Kryptonite in the clothing of the suit. That nigga can get hit with one of the things

and die. Him himself is still the guy himself. What I'm saying is you take off the gear, all this plastic, and I take off my clothes, I'm still the entity of Superman. I'm hiding my disguise. So... When you said they both take off their clothes,

I thought you were about to make a Rose Sparks joke, but I'm glad you did not, sir. I'm just letting you know. But let's shift over to this side. Lexi, what's the worst take you've ever had? I don't have, I don't do. I keep it real cute over here. Very respectful.

Mm-hmm. Shout out to Kobe. Kobe's reign beginning on three. I do. Because we can't say anything off. Lexi, you can, though, all right? I don't like to, though. I've heard you.

During the timeout, I've seen you fucking sit in the timeout. What timeout? In the last game y'all played, you was over there like, this is insane. She can't fuck with me. Nope. Don't say any of those things. Anybody that knows me, I'll say nothing on the court.

Applebee's. Keeps me awake. Oh, I love them. They said shot. They said just. They said these are shot taste. What? What?

Those are your bad taste? They said these are shot taste. They said just pick one. Oh, me? Nobody said that good. Swear to God. It can't come from the chat. They're not...

That is mean. Mean? That is rude. Y'all don't want to go through all my bad taste. That's what I'm saying. I said... My bad taste is, you know what? Can you key in on the worst one?

Just one, just one. Just one. I'm going to be gracious and humble. Ooh, they said your takes on the rookies. Probably the J.J. Reddick getting the job for the Lakers. They were bad. It was a terrible take. Did I call it? You called it. Oh, that wasn't a bad take. Yeah, that wasn't a bad take. I said the rookakers. They were bad. It was a terrible take. Did I call it?

You called it. Oh, that wasn't a bad take. Yeah, that wasn't a bad take because you called it. I thought the rookies were great. Fuck! Let me be, hold on. I'm trying to go through

all the bad takes. But as a reminder to the audience, JJ was up for the Hornets job, I believe, and you said, niggas fuck with JJ. That was your quote. I did say that, didn't I?

You did. You did say, once you started the podcast, you got the shot. But then JJ saw us at Summer League, banged on the window for some reason, like he wanted to smoke

and then just proceeded to keep walking down the window. Well, it was a bad take that I picked the Boston Celtics to win the championship last year. That was terrible. But they did. But they did. They did win it.

So that wasn't a bad take. Go ahead, bro. Wrap it up. Okay, we're going to wrap it up. Because what? That was a great take. It was a great take. What'd you mean?

You could beat like an NBA team? Oh, because everybody. You could beat the Nuggets, I believe. Oh, yeah. That was a great take. Didn't you say your team could beat, like, an NBA team? Oh, because everybody... The Nuggets, I believe. Oh, yeah, that was a terrible take. And then South Sudan went over and gave the United States a run for their money. But they didn't beat them. And ain't none of those guys on their team

could have fucked with my team. That's the hard work. That's the hard work. That wasn't their... Hey, they wasn't the Denver Nuggets. They was Team Avengers. South Sudan lost those. Team Avengers. Like, they didn't win.

The Team Avengers team took the... Yeah, what do you think we're going to do? You scared of no fucking Denver Nuggets? Yeah, that was a bad take. Because I don't got loser spirit. Tell him. So, Benji, what he's saying is he don't got loser spirit. Tell him. Tell him. So basically what he's saying is he don't do bad takes.

Nah, he talking about me. Y'all just bad listeners. Y'all just don't understand where he coming from. Or y'all just say shit like shere-shation, shere-lation, and you don't understand the shit that I be actually saying. A new word in the arena. Serag-totion. Serag-totion.

Stop talking to the robots. Why is nobody afraid of that? Because the robots don't talk back. I don't talk back. They are listening. They just talk back. They can listen all they want. They're listening and plotting. Go hear some shit they might not want to hear.
