We've got some sad news to report that hits close to home for our crew. We lost a legend in the basketball world. Bill Walton passed away today, 71 years old.

He'd been dealing with some health issues for a while now. Asked if they remained private while he dealt with them, but he had been battling cancer, succumbed to it. Today at 71, he was a three-time college player of the year, two-time national champion at UCLA, went on to win two chips in the NBA, MVP in 1978, induct to the Naismith Hall of Fame in 1993 and was a member of the NBA's 50th and 75th anniversary teams. Walter went on to have a successful career in broadcasting, overcoming a debilitating stutter, as he pointed out, working with the NBA on NBC, if y'all remember the old school classic days.

ESPN, Fox Sports, Pac-12 Network. Winning several Emmys during that time. So Gil, obviously you played with Bill's son Luke at Arizona. My dad played with him at UCLA. They were teammates together from my dad's freshman year. But what's the conversation like right now amongst the Arizona group chat with Luke? Yeah, nobody really has been quiet, right?

And I sent prayer emojis to Luke. So, you know, it's one of those things that's very sensitive, you know, when you're close to someone that passed. So I got to always think about the best memory. And the best memory was playing in Phoenix in this national television game, I think during the 17-18 game winning streak, right? And we all came into the practice facility. So, you know, they have the practice gym in the exit locker room inside the arena and he pulled me up and said you supposed to score 50 today just do decent I'm gonna make you look like a

superstar just just do decent I'm making the like so you know he's telling me just do decent end up having 54 that night and we end up beating him cutting their streak and he was like this. My man. So, you know, that was the best memory of Bill when he gave me that good advice because he was going to pump me up on national TV. Bill, John Wooden Disciple, like I said, he played with my dad at UCLA, so I got to spend a lot of time with him throughout the years. Got to visit the crib in San Diego with the TP, hear all the stories about traveling with the Grateful Dead and how turnt up he used to be.

Always had a ton of respect and admired how he moved in college, was super socially active. In addition to winning three college player of the years, was super adamant against the Vietnam War, would engage in protests and do all types of crazy stuff off the court while playing for John Witten on the court. But we just want to send some love to the entire Walton family. Again, Bill Walton passed away. protest and do all types of crazy stuff off the court while playing for John Witten on the court. But we just want to send some love to the entire Walton family.

Again, Bill Walton passed away, 71 years old. He was always a super happy dude. So I was a little emotional before the show, but it's hard not to smile just thinking about every time you saw Bill Gill, like you said, and I wasn't even playing much at UCLA, but always had nice stuff to say, always encouraging, always very critical of, you know, the program and things like that. Wasn't afraid to speak his mind. But when you got two natty rings and three college player of the years, you can do whatever you want to move how you want to.

So sending love to the Walter family, especially Luke and everybody else out there. And prayers are with the Walter family in this time. But we're going to keep it upbeat. We got a show to do. Today is Memorial Day, which is supposed to be a day to honor fallen American troops who made the ultimate sacrifice. But it's become the unofficial start of summer with barbecues, pool parties, and brand slanging stuff at a discount.

So while y'all at the crib firing up the grill, getting ready to gladiate some glizzies, we still took time away from our families to give you your favorite basketball show because as you know, Guild does not believe in designated off days and we get paid per episode. We gotta be here. You heard me. I need that. Anyway. Memorial Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, it don't matter. I need that

check. Once we get out of here, it'll be time to go hit. Hit somebody a barbecue barbecue go take their food exactly all you gentlemen played in the league obviously made good bread during that time i'm sure had some great memorial day weekends throughout your lives but what's the best memorial day weekend you've ever had mr uh cemetery lair champion what is it charles championship championship char Yeah, okay I'm strong. I got a you know, we're dream kill. What's the best Memorial Day weekend? You've ever had probably this one We made this Memorial Day weekend it was a joy

It sounds in here right y'all was talking I ain't hear nothing y'all say like what I'm gonna do with this hundred thousand I just know oh y'all playing for bread? Yeah. I didn't know that. Six figures? Man. I tried to go to the strip club. I tried.

I tried. I tried. They working this weekend? Nah. None of the white strip clubs was open, man. I was like, I'm gonna wait till Thursday. You know what I'm saying? Get Rebecca and them to make that ass clap. You know what I'm saying?

That ain't gonna happen. It ain't. Yeah, I ain't gotta throw too much. You ain't nothing clapping gonna beat you up your hands. It ain't clapping. Nah, but yeah, Memorial Day is cool. It's the best one for sure. For sure.

A lot of ass kicking. You know what I'm saying? Got the big courtside at a... I ain't never beat up on a kid like that before. For sure. A lot of ass kicking. You know what I'm saying? Got to be coarse eyed at a... I ain't never beat up on a kid like that before. Who got it? His son gonna grow up to hate me.

You know like in Kill Bill... Racking about beating a 12 year old. You know how in Kill Bill... When she had to kill Vivica Fox... She had to kill Vivica Fox and then the little daughter came in. She was like, when you're ready to kill me, just find me.

When you're ready. I made little gravestones, too. The care man. Anybody can get it. Brandon, what's the best? It's hard to top that, but what's the best Memorial Day weekend you've ever had? I don't know. I mean, probably any time I was in the league because we wasn't in the playoffs this long.

You turned up and said you had disposable income? I can't really say which one because, like I said, every year in the league, I wasn't in the playoffs that long, so we were doing whatever. Were you local vacationing? Both. Just all over. Miami? Toxic was popping back then. I wasn't in the playoffs that long so we were doing whatever were you local vacationing like both Just all over think Miami toxic was popping back then you ain't go out of the United State Yeah, yeah, I'm sure but I'm just saying it was I was so many we not in playoffs, so I don't know where I was at I just know I was doing something something exciting

Yeah, how about yourself? What's the best Memorial Day weekend you've ever had? The bet beyond I didn's the best Memorial Day weekend you've ever had? The best? To be honest, I didn't even know it was Memorial Day weekend. That's a fact. No, no. We played video games all weekend. Not one of us mentioned it. Never. I looked at the rundown and it was like Memorial Day. It is a designated holiday. For those of us with children, we know it's Memorial Day. Yeah, we worked all weekend. I remember when my son said that. I was like, oh.

So the most memorable is when I got arrested in Miami on Memorial Day weekend. Please elaborate. We was balling, having a great time. Like drinking, jet skiing, tearing up the jet skis. Right? And with a couple of bobby story um and we decided to go to dinner right normal now we just we chilling okay and we're in a limo and you know like on collins street it's packed right you can't move so we just sitting there chilling like yo

what we're gonna do after this you know we got a club we got the um we got the i think it's live and then or no king of diamonds right so we're going to we're thinking about going to king of diamonds and since we we're not moving he decided to get out of the car because i guess he's seen some people he was familiar with right so we get out talking to them and then we move probably 10 feet and then he's getting arrested he's getting arrested so I jump out of the car thinking Gilbert arenas got some pool here all I know hey all I all I know it was it was big time I had a knee on my ass they know and I'm getting handcuffed from the back didn't don't know why and I got handcuffed in

I'm going to jail you told me he was Cuban. No, I didn't have no other words. I don't all I know is I was a it said a Resistant arrest without violence. That was the charge Wow And you know that means it only cost me. It only cost me $25 to get out. So anyway. $25 a whole dollar? $25. So it was that's, I never went back to Miami on Memorial Day weekend

because their job is to arrest as many people and get them off the streets. So, you know, if you ever look at their crime rate, it'd be, you know, $700, $1, 700, 1,000, and it's all the same charge. Resisting arrest without violence.

You went to jail, huh? I had my... This is the bad part. I thought I was getting punked. Because, you know, that's when Ashton Kutcher was going. So I really thought he was getting punked because I didn't get searched.

I'm in the holding cell with my cell phone in my pocket. So it wasn't... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay yeah so okay so i really thought i was getting you ain't take the mug you ain't take the mug shot they ain't do the shot no no no that was a mug shot did all that and they hit the internet yeah i searched you too no they didn't search me yeah that's what they didn't search me i mug shot everything and i got my cell phone i told the lady when i was you know i got my cell phone she was like don't call your lawyer all right weird it was a weird

experience but yeah so I was all dollars other than that I don't remember I mean but you you're gonna bark what the fuck do you do on more your day barbecue I guess and just do black people care about Memorial Day right is it usually a fight going on or not no I just remember being a lot of work wherever it was yeah wherever yeah yeah there's a lot of girls. Yeah, I'm worried. It was important a lot of homeless Special worker Okay for every definitely special I will

We started this Memorial Day weekend with a bang gills arena crew Pulled up as a family to the fever sparks game to support our very own Lexi Brown, courtesy of our friends at Underdog Fantasy, Woof Woof. Woof Woof. Woof Woof. Woof Woof. So, it was a star-studded affair featuring celebrities like Gilbert Arenas, Kenya Martin, Mr. B. Brandon Jennings, and Rashad McCants, a.k.a. Cemetery Larry, Championship Charles,

whatever name you'd like to use. But there were other ones in the building along with Juju Watkins, Cheryl Miller, Mila Kunis, and Ashton Kutcher. You talked about it. Wait, Cheryl was there? Cheryl Miller was there. She was on the other side. I'm thinking Cheryl Swoops. Only Cheryl I know is Swoops.

You know what I mean? So I'm like, she was there. She didn't say hi to us. She didn't say what. Cheryl Miller was there. Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher. Mila was rocking with the Spark. Ashton was rolling with Kaitlyn Clark

We had a conversation about it Y'all kind of dipped out at the end of the game though I was doing my celebrity thing I look up, y'all done shot up out the building Nonetheless We also saw Clay there Clay, you need to come pull up to the show When you get an opportunity

We'd love to chat with you But Spark set a home attendance record With over 19,000 people in the building Which was more than any Lakers game this season. It's true. We're not doing that. The Lakers have a capacity less than 19,000. Wow. It was turnt up.

The energy was... Bro, it was turnt up. She had it all the way to the top. No, I know. I get that. But the Lakers... This is a fact. No, because the Lakers got so many clients, like the rich ones. What that mean? They sit on the bottom. No, no, no. You're talking about all the way to the top. No, so because they got so many clients, right, the rich ones. What does that mean? They sit on the bottom. No, no, no. We're talking about all the way to the top.

No, so because they got so many clients, some of the seats that they have, they don't max out the arena. So the Lakers gym is about 18,000. 18,000. Like 18,914, right? The Clippers is 19. It's the same arena, right? But their clubbers is 19 is the same arena right mm-hmm, but their mass capacity is 19 something That's what the sparks sparks at nineteen thousand one hundred. I think did more so there's 19,100 So the Lakers remove seats, but don't say they max the bill we max the building out. No no no we Rollin with that listen, I don't care 19,000 for a girl. What is the Lakers capacity?

18 what? It's like 80,900. And they still can't even get 18,000. No, we maxed out. No, y'all not maxing. Ain't nobody watching. So the Lakers take away 200 seats. Ain't nobody watching the Lakers.

Those 200 seats were filled. All I know is when they call her name out, it sounded like Kobe was coming out. Not even close. It sounded like Kobe was coming out. Not even said. It sounded like Kobe. It was Kobe Bryant. I said, what the hell is this here? Facts.

What? Very audible applause. A lot of Iowa 22 jerseys in the building. 19,903. 19,903. So there were more at the Sparks game than at the Lakers game. Nah, I mean, to be honest, rock star status. Rock star status.

Right. I know when people get asked about her as a professional athlete, you can say that we're not hating on her. But while you're saying it, it sounds like you're hating on her. That's the bad part. But we get it. You don't supposed to bend and break for who she is. You guys are all professionals. We get it.

But it's just like when Kobe came in and Braun came in, there's just people that come in with aura you can't account for. And when they called her name, yeah. It was turned up. Like, you can basically say there was 19,903 or 19,100 there for her. Yeah. And just reporting the news, but the loudest applause on the spark side I feel like was for Cameron Brink when she came out. Yeah didn't get quite to Caitlin's level

but of course I mean and you know what you know what it is it seems like the basketball world is Really honed into three women right now and that's Caitlyn, Cameron, and Reese. Andrew Reese. Right now, that's...

But let's just... But let's just be honest. They haven't done anything for, in the W, but for basketball itself, the credit, they're getting exactly what they put in. Four years of hard work those ladies put in to deserve what they're getting in these arenas. It's a next level, and they're going to have to earn the respect from the players themselves but the fans respect what they're coming in with they're coming in with a hell of a resume thanks you know and juju watkins is coming she was in the building as well

here's the thing that's glaring though just to everything gil just said it's so important to note that it's about basketball it's not about the WNBA they did shit for the game when we wasn't playing and nobody was watching NBA at the time we was watching them in college they was they was doing a thing we was at Lolo's watching the the March Madness like we watching them get it like that was beautiful for the game I had nothing to do with WNBA. Right. So to see the conflict of what's happening in the WNBA with these players coming in, whether they feel like they need to conflict with each other or not.

The one thing that I'm going to say about Caitlyn, there's never been a time in the history of basketball where we seen a rookie come into the game and sell out arenas ever so the fact that she's breaking history on on a statistic that we don't even consider the fact that she's a rookie she came in pre-selling out arenas pre-selling jerseys before she touched the ball it's like yo, yo, what are we talking about here? And I get it. Like, Angel's like, you know, Alyssa Thomas, hard foul. She's not supposed to do this to rookies, all that shit.

We came in. It's a man's league. You're not going to get no grace. And the same thing goes with Kaitlyn, right? But what Charles and LeBron was talking about, like, y'all need to give her her flowers for what she's done to the game. As a rookie, 19,000 coming to see you play. And then at the end of the game,

her teammates went to the locker room. She stayed out. She made her rounds. Walked to the motherfucking middle of the court and said, like she was Tiger Woods. I mean, that's how she ended the game. Hey, everybody got up. Everybody cheered. Like, you never heard anything. I was just like's how she ended the game. Everybody got up, everybody cheered, like you never heard anything. I was just like, yo, this is different.

Now, it did look like it looked like. No, no, no. You know, like NBA, like Kobe's last game, MJ's last game. That's how it looks when she's leaving the game. It looked like it's the last game. But that makes sense because that's the last time she's gonna be Out here in LA right the one and only time so we came to support Lexi Brown in the spark So unfortunately the sparks didn't get the dub

Kayla Clark and the fever got their first win of the season Caitlin had some shooting struggles early came up with two big threes in the fourth quarter Like you guys mentioned had 11 points 10 rebounds 8 assists While spoiling our evening. So I want to know, because I don't feel like all y'all were really loyal to the soil, rooting for the Sparks. Who in the crew betrayed Lexi and caused the Sparks to lose?

Because we're all getting blamed for it. I'm not taking that blame. No, I'm not. I didn't hear y'all cheering as loud as y'all should have been. I ain't no snitch. You just don't have to look at the tape to see who's... I'm hearing motivational speeches at halftime for some members of the crew. snitch, you know, she just gonna have to look at the tape, you know, to see who's, uh, you know, I'm hearing motivational speeches at halftime. Some people dipping out early halftime to catch

a fever or to get motivated. Oh no, man. I was in the back telling, telling them, yeah, give, give the ball to Clark or y'all gonna be back on spirit Better give it a ball. I'm gonna be back on spirit doing a nonce doing the stops Brandon Why is the funniest motherfucker I've ever played a game with it was hate, bro Like that nobody come to see all that set the high pick roll at the half and let her come off and get busy. Shoot the ball. Before the private plane go back, before all that stuff go back. Probably my favorite moment of the game.

It was second quarter. We're ready to go. Then we made our way to the Delta Lounge. I was in the back. I couldn't wait until she came out. I said, shoot the ball. We ain't come to see all that. Shoot the ball. Her teammates looking back. Yeah, shoot the ball. Shoot the ball. We ain't come to see all that. Shoot the ball.

Her teammates looking back, yeah, shoot the ball. Shoot the ball. We're going to talk about that Southwest flight. We're going to talk about another situation at the game. You were asked specifically not to wear open-toe sandals to the arena by our very own Lexi Brown. Yeah. You did not obey that order.

Had the ripped jeans with the sandals and internet wind nuts, open knees and open toes. No, no, no, no. What happened? That's different. Open knees and open toes at the same time? Put your hands on your elbows, touch the knees. And then you go, Dave, now just like, um. What?

You know Drake. Oh. Hands on your knees, make that ass, yeah. See y'all done, see, so that's y'all problems, y'all only listen to Kendrick. We're only listening to Kendrick. Yeah, y'all didn't listen to Drake's side. Y'all got to listen to both. Y'all got to listen to both. You see, now you get it, huh? You're a freaky ass nigga.

You're a freaky ass nigga. You're a freaky ass nigga. You're a freaky ass nigga. Now, um, it matched my outfit, right? So I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, Yeah My outfit Right, so I I put my clothes on and had the black shirt with the X right had the hat and I was like I mean I do got all black but the sandals was black and white So I was it was more of she probably won't notice

Right in pinhole everybody look depending where we set Depending where we said she probably wouldn't know everybody saw your toes. Yeah, cuz we know that we was on a car We was on the wood It's summertime I can save it was the winner and I'm like damn gillis It's it's not how we're saying this all the time. Yeah, we know this I mean, I listen I don't have basketball feet. So I'm kind of proud of my basketball feet What kind of feet would you say you have bro decent? No, there was decent you seen teammates feet. He got We've seen teammates treats right so there's some's some back. I got all the color.

You see the pigment? I ain't look at your toes. Okay, but I'm just saying, you've seen dudes get knuckles on top of knuckles, right? You know, feet turning this way, looking like they're throwing up west side. They be having bunions and stuff. You know, they got black and blue toes. Their mind is cool. My work is sending pictures of your toes,

telling me to tell your mans to stop. That's when I don't know what to do. Because I'm like, what the fuck? Why are you sending me his toes? Well, she's zooming in on the toes. You know this nigga. You know this nigga. See, and that's why I'm proud of him.

She's like, his toes look familiar. That's why I'm proud of him. He said them toes look familiar. That's what that's... Man, whoa. That's what I'm proud of you said I'm so look from It wasn't time where I'm like you I knew you my massage We also talk about another disappointing moment I like for me in between the third and fourth quarter, the referee let you touch the ball. We thought that would bring good luck to the Sparks.

It did not. It did not. I was hoping to do this. I was putting my juju on it. Ah! Come on, Lexi. I was giving it to Lexi, and it seemed like Caitlyn. Caitlyn gave it right to you.

But, Gil, to your credit, you did say Caitlyn, who was shooting bad early in the game, you were like, she's probably going to hit a game-winner. I said this. You know what I mean? I said this is the type of setup for she's been playing and struggling all game And this is the type of because the game is kind of cool This is the type of moments where she hits threes and then the crowd forgets about the rest of the game And and that's exactly what she yeah, it was set up for those type of moments So I see what she moments. With his argument is, you know, that, you know,

Kayla needs the ball, right? They need to run the offense through her. And to combat that is your right, but it is a flaw in the W where they don't have enough time from when a girl got out of college to the draft to the season start. There's only a two-week period, right? So how well are you knowing your teammates in two weeks? So to be honest, whatever offense they have, it's the offense from last year.

She's just a new body into it. So they're going to have to, it's going to probably take the whole year, plus getting people that play with her. See, she's playing with them, and they don't know each other right now. Like, she's passing the ball. They don't even know this ball is coming half the time. I know, so that's what I'm saying. So how good was this team last year? Trash.

Okay, so if they're, well, I mean. This coach don't know Kaitlyn Clark? Okay, so why are you drafting her then? I know Kaitlyn Clark. Set the high pick and roll and everybody move. No, no, no. Move. Move around.

But that's what I'm saying. But what I'm saying is this team has been together for, let's say, a year. She's the new piece, and they don't have them like the NBA a month. They don't have a month to try to figure out. Okay. Okay. Do you like this play? You like this play think about the beginning of the season for a new person new plays need to be put in for this It's two weeks. It's just training camp. Yeah, yeah Yeah, you go into 24 hour, right? Yeah

You don't got a whole motherfucking month to figure out that Gilbert arenas is on the court and all you for the niggas out here about to scream for him to get the ball so he can score he's gonna be he's a guy gilled out here with four other niggas that come here every fucking probably you just oh I will you get us though those those role players that she had was hoping the one girl number zero number zero she's good but that's a lot hoping it was a beast though the ball was in her hand last year so they're used to her as the point you see the passes she make she's good. She was hoping that. She's a beast, though. The ball was in her hand last year, so they're used to her as the point. You see the passes she make? She's a scorer.

So, Kaitlyn rolling and passing, those girls ain't ready for her. So, they just don't know each other. Shit, what the fuck are we talking about? We just watched Milwaukee Bucks struggle all year because they didn't know how to play with each other. What are you talking about? They were 30. They were 30. But the two main players didn't know how to play with each other. They didn't want to play with each other. What are you talking about? They were 30. They were 30. They were 30. But the two main players

didn't know how to play with each other. They didn't want to play with each other. No, but I'm just saying. So they have to figure out how to play with her. They got to want to, though.

But I'm saying this pass is where she's dribbling, making a back pass, and they're like, oh, we're not used to that. They just have to get used to it. So I can see the end of the season,

they'll start clicking, and then next year, once they find, okay, she likes this, she likes this pick and roll, she likes moving this way, like, they don't even realize she likes moving left. Okay, so why are you drafting her then? What have y'all been watching? Y'all know this girl's coming to the draft, and y'all

just sitting up here talking about, oh, okay, well, yeah, we don't know what you like to do. Well, what have you been watching then? Because the whole world's been watching me shoot the three from damn near the logo and coming off high picking roles and doing all this. So this is my game. So why are you drafting me if you don't know? And we suck. Yeah, we suck.

So that means the girls that surround her don't even. Okay, well, then they can move around and let her play go to hell ball. We can suck again. I don't care, but we're selling out. Number zero, we not here to see you... high-quality bad and who could the 19,000 a year zero was not the nine thousand not the three thousand but the night you don't even know zero you know she left you know she's cold bro I had to beat her last year there this year to get to score time she's fourth on the list understand bro she's fourth on the

women's corner the same team now so when you come out the bench you got that you got the game but when I'm in the game... Off the bench, she's a starter. She's a starter. She's a starter? Yeah. Yeah, she got to move around then. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We're not having this here. We're not sharing no light. No, listen, the future is... You were number four last year because we suck. You're pretty good now, but it's my team. You can't... This is my team. The only reason you got the hit shots is because I was scoring buckets to keep us close.

Hey, coach, what are you doing? Are you telling her? She had like 21. Yeah. She let the team score. You know why? Because there was a face guard in her. Who?

Everybody on the Sparks were face guarding Gateland. True. Do not let her touch the ball. In transition, they picked her up at the three-quarter court. As you should. And shout out to Aaliyah Boston, 217 and 6. Some clutch buckets down the stretch. All-around team effort. Bigger than

one woman, okay? They don't get no grace because they women. I'm on they... Man, listen. Y'all can move around just like these niggas can move around. Yeah, I'm not going to... I had fun, man. I want to go again. Oh, yeah, but I talked to Lexi. Y'all are not invited.

Whoever gave me the L shirt,i. Y'all are not invited. And whoever gave me the L shirt, whoever gave me the L shirt, fired. Y'all not invited. Should have made it a W for Weston. I know one thing. I need front row to that Chicago game. Toes on the wood again. Underdog got it. Angel recent.

Underdog got it. I ain't seen no work there anywhere. I'm getting seasoned. They wasn't there for you. I'll tell you that. They wasn't looking at you. They wasn't looking at us. Moving on.

Moving on. What are you talking about? It was work. Wit work. Season they wouldn't ever you I tell you that one looking at you Somebody was work wit work He was too busy trolling he was shooting the fever bench that's what he was too busy doing The fever bitch see every time they put this hell no Oh, yeah, the one girl look at you like That pressure got to her they didn't put her back in the game Let's sit out of here. All right, well, let's move on. Productive, once again, appreciate you, Underdog Fantasy, for breaking bread.

Heard you spent a hefty penny to get us there, but you will be doing it again throughout this party. $30, man. What? It was a little more than $30. Who? Wait, what? About $35. $3,500?

Yeah, times 10. Yeah, for those tickets? Yeah, for the piece. Times 10. Caitlin, Caitlin. Yes. Hold on So wait, wait, hold on. Hold on Hold on Y'all saying y'all they spend $35,000 do you approved it? So technically you spent it cuz it's coming out of the user budget So you lost about $135,000. That's cap, y'all. You know what I mean?

You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You lost $135,000. I see some people on the front row that ain't got money like that. Stop. Cap. All right?

I get it. It was $300,000 maybe. All right. What's the total? $35,000. Total? Total. No way. Ain't no damn way because I see I brought in a broke line of Brooks

Just like that And I had to think about it cuz I'm thinking Laker because it I listen to the cheer guys He's not the broke of the boo So I'm thinking is Kobe or LeBron James and then I had to think oh this girl basketball I'll see you digging for enough Do your trolling will not go unpunished Again, these are 35 views. They do not reflect the couch or underdog fantasy Broke ease of the show bro. I didn't know nobody underdog We look forward to breaking your bank at more Sparks games this season. We'll send you a list of all the games

I think we got three sweets Thanks, but then we wouldn't appreciate it. They toes all the games. And then you're going to get us like three sweets. Nice. But then we wouldn't have been. But I appreciate it. They want to see me. Tentos on the wood. They want to see me at Tento. Hope y'all.

We will keep the shirt. Lexi. Shout out to Steve for being the exclamation point. We got to get Lexi some more. Fuck that Katelyn shit. Lexi got to get some more shots up. Don't worry. And see with her too. it's the same thing.

She's new into this situation, right? So they got to figure. I just don't like the idea that they don't have enough time to gel from training camp to the season. Like, you know, you're getting these new pieces. Like, you know, new roles. It's just hard like if you started to if you started training camp i mean you started the nba uh october 14th october 10th man you still fight for positions well we basketball players they should start huh do you think june they should start wmba i think it should be fair enough to have like once you committed to the team. Remember, they're still making,

like, think about when we make cuts. I thought about it. When we make cuts, when we make cuts, we still got damn near half training camp to go before we start

a regular game. They making cuts the night before the first game. Yeah, I get it. So that means, think about it. How much did you play

if I'm still trying to see what girls we're going to cut? None of that had to do with anything when you're passing somebody the ball and they need to catch it and finish it If I don't know you don't need a month for you to catch the ball and lay it up like we basketball players Okay, I pass you the ball. I mean, I mean this is a professional level If I pass you the ball on that she's boom feeding these girls. Oh, yeah, she was smooth speed

Oh, here you go. Take that eat it the fact you drop it, she's spoon-feeding these girls. No, she was spoon-feeding. Spoon, here you go. Take that. Eat it. The facts. Drop it. On the floor. But you know what, though? But you know what, though?

They could be a little nervous because this is different. You know, this is a different crowd. Like, every night, they're not used to that. They went from terrible to every night. Let's see what y'all got. I don't think they should be deferring. Listen, Jokic started, played 80 games his rookie year, started 55 of them. He averaged 2.4 assists.

The great Jokic, the great passer that we see, his passing didn't change, right? They adapted to his skill. They started probably catching passes they started he started doing passes the offense no it was a two forward offense remember nurkic was there played two big forwards they changed their whole offense they got rid of nurk again and made it just so that's what i'm saying so this it takes time it's going to take time for them to adapt to what she's great at they didn't know it was good i mean they didn't know yokich was that good to even change the offense for him.

Think about it. If Jokic came in like Kaitlyn Clark, there ain't no Nurkic there. There ain't no none of that. Now, think about it. We're talking about catch the ball. They didn't even know she was a great passer like this. Come on, they didn't watch a basketball.

Hey, that one cross, that one full court joint. But that doesn't say you don't know she can pass the ball like this. That's what I'm saying. It takes time to adapt, and I don't think none of them Yeah, I even would let it like like you can see like she's passing it cutting. They don't see that she's doing that Yeah, I just like what's that? It takes time to go but if you were Most of girls and watch this girl in basketball and most of her teammates played four years That's they know what she wants to do. That's hey shit

If you ain't watching Kaitlyn Clark, dime them girls at Iowa. Full court pass, spoon feed, and all them girls. Kate Martin is Kate Martin right now for the Aces because of Kaitlyn Clark. Angel Reese, no matter how much she can say that she's good, but she don't get the attention that she gets

without Kaitlyn Clark. Angel Reese is balling, though. Angel Reese is balling. Let's, let's, let's. The rivalry is the rivalry. Angelres is balling, though. Andres is balling. Let's, let's, let's. That man just shit. The rivalry is the rivalry. Andres is out here putting it to work. Without the rivalry, you ain't really saying,

yeah. The LSU-Kaitlyn Clark rivalry, that made them. Yeah. That made them. Yeah, that's a fact. Well, we will be at more games. We did not get kicked out,

to my surprise. And they be hating on her like she about to take everybody man or something. Man, she ain't even said nothing. So let's keep this thing moving. So while we were turning up at the Fever Sparks game, Luka and the Mavs were turning up on the

Wolves in game two with Luka delivering the silver bullet. So with the Mavs down two late in the fourth quarter, Luka found himself matched up one-on-one with Defense Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert. He said, may I have this dance, please? And here's a grilled sandwich.

Put it on a baguette. Hold on, you got to look at McDaniels, though. He was laughing. He knew. McDaniels knew, damn, this French was about to get cooked. French fried. Luka had his fifth triple-double of the postseason with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 13 assists.

Sacre bleu! Ah! 32 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. Soccer that blue, ah! Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. That is not even the topic right here. Can you start the clip over from the beginning? Uh-oh. G-tail, as we call it. Stop right now.

Boop. How you do that shit? Exactly. You're down, no, no, no. You're down, you're up two right there's 10 seconds left on the clock right double no three double double and no three make a pass lively double is this this is a double because you're forcing him to to to go faster than they want to. Even if they score with 10 seconds,

9 seconds left on the clock, you got 8, 9 seconds to finish the game. So the fact that you let him wind the game down, knowing they're on the road. On the road, a great guy wants to leave this motherfucker. He don't want to go to overtime

being on the road team so he was going to shoot the three no matter what right so the fact that you have rudy out here on the island when you could have doubled let him throw it back to lively let lively make a play yeah i mean because all he's gonna do is all lively was gonna do is dribble two times pick it up and then pick it up and then point, time ran down. Now you got to get to Kyrie or try to give it back to Luka. Just leave in on Kyrie or whatever else happens. Two don't beat you. That's what I'm saying. You put it in

Lively or Derek Jones or PJ Washington's hand to tie the game. But as I said, you can't let any great defender, you got to know time and possession. You're up two and there's 10 seconds. That's a lot of time where he's just going to wind it down. Double it.

Just double it right there. Get it out of his hand, and then all he's going to do is pass it and then try to get it back. That means his rhythm is off. Instead, play it. They did this. Allow Gobert to go one-on-one with the NBA's leading scorer this season. Oh, step back with the hop in your griddle.

Baguette Biambo at some of course. Boop. Sacre bleu. Oui, oui, oui. You, you, you. This is when that defensive player of the year award It look worse from that angle that's when it hurts you right because you know everybody but like well He's a defensive player to you not guarding the guard

Right. He's not not guarding the guard doing what he does best. He's out of his element. This is like Shaq playing. This is like Shaq being on the island by himself. He's going to get his ass murked up. Kimba Mutombo. Yeah, you're going to get murked. Bro. This ain't your element.

He ain't posting you up. So that's when you're like, oh, Rudy got it? You're stupid if you think Rudy was going to stop him or Kyrie or anybody. You're not, this is not your field. I hate when people say, well, that's the defensive player of the year. And? And? He's the defensive player of the year, blocking shots, rebounding, boxing out. Motherfucker, that ain't got nothing to do with these step backs I'm about to give you,

yo ass. That's when, that's when arrogance kicks in. Arrogant as a coach, arrogant as a team. Now, if this was Ant-Man or one of the guards that play defense, this is their element. And you're fine with that one-on-one matchup in that case? Yes. McDaniels, Ant-Man.

Why do you think he set the pick to get him off of him? Who got game one game winner? Luka. Who was guarding him? Same person. McDaniels. Oh, who's guarding him? Same person. McDaniels. Oh, McDaniels. McDaniels.

Dotted. So is the ass turned now? See, that's the thing with casuals. You know, they get in the comments, they want to have a conversation

because they can't sit down on the couch, right? So they watch us, they watch all these other programs, they want to be a part of the conversation, but they don't understand, even all these other programs They want to be a part of the conversation

But they don't understand like even like a disappointing as Draymond makes it out to be when you talk about Rudy It's like if you put Draymond in that situation He gets dotted to dot it to everybody gets dotted in that situation when you're not guarding a guy that you're used to guarding Like that he's elite If you look at the move tween tween Left left between the legs are nigga one dribble right step back If you're really guarding that as a guard you have to guard all of that tween tween Left come back right that's Kyrie shit. That's all um, gosh, I'm gosh shit. Yeah, that's drink

We drink drink. Ah step back. Yeah, so I did he hit you with the fade Come on, man. Yeah, you can't but the thing is it ain't just his fault Everybody put that on cat all of them. They all getting cooked all of us all that trying to put it on Rudy It ain't just him all y'all getting career and I think the coach panicked The coach panicked who? No Because like you said the double was supposed to happen. When we looking at the time, when they inbound the ball, like, we got to double that.

His players is... Right away, right away. Right away. It's player awareness. Double that. They young, though. His player awareness, I doubt, like, that is the best of... Him and Kyrie is the one dude you don't want the ball with at the end of the game.

Right. That's like Michael Jordan do a pick and roll with Luke Longley and then you switch it how stupid are you oh my gosh right you better double that shit let him pass it to Luke Longley Luke Longley this is about to be the first attempt of a game when are you ever gonna have and Luke Longley dotting that shit he ain't shooting no three he ain't shooting shoot no three. Now, I want everybody, I've always said, stop paying attention to the height on fucking NBA references because it's stupid, right? And I kept saying, Luka is all of 6'9 and a half, 6'10, and you fuckers keep telling me he's smaller. How small does the motherfucker look today when he's standing next to someone who's listed at 6'11"? So when no one can block his fucking shots, even seven-footers, because he's just as big. Gil, is this just the angle, though?

No. Yeah, it is just the angle that these motherfuckers is looking eye to eye. Because there was multiple angles of this shot shot and they don't all look like this I'm just pointing out doing my hosting duty face-to-face. So basically Luca looking at the big Why you think when he goes a dual pull up in the runner he can't get blocked Hmm, but that's what I'm saying. So when people never well, but when he shot over who he shot over game one McDaniel McDaniels, How tall is McDaniels? 6'1".

6'6". Easy work. He's a little dude to him. Yep. So in addition to game winning. It's easy work. He's little. These dudes is little compared to what Luka is.

That's why I said Luka is technically the second biggest dude on his team during possessions. You got to put him in the post. Thanks. They bust, Kyrie and them busting their ass, man. You know what's so funny? And this is why I don't like analytics. This is why I don't like

big time media looking at numbers, coining people, and coining things. Best defensive team, best defense. You're letting two dudes. You're letting two people. Run it, Pablo. You're letting two people kill your whole defense.

You don't know if he's. They're not looking at each other. It's in the same picture. But nice try, though. The same picture. Remember the other one, they were looking at each other. They were in the same picture, but nice try, though. The same picture. Remember the other one, they were looking at each other. They were looking at each other. But nice try, though.

It was a beautiful photo. He was looking at each other. So, you're letting two dudes, just two, pick away this whole deep... This is the number one defensive team in the NBA coined by everyone.

And you're letting only two dudes pick apart it. Which, that's fair. So we gotta show the aftermath of that play. Euro and Eurocrime, let's show the video of what Lucas said to Gobert. Justifiably so. So after he gave him the grill sandwich,

Luka told Gobert, MF, you can't effing guard me. And then after Nasri missed a potential game winning three, his time expired, he told Wolves fans go home. B word. Nasri, now, do y'all have that play? The last play? Ant last play?

Ant-Man? We don't have it currently. We can get it for you if you want. This is Gil Zarina presented by Notre Dame Fantasy. Whoop, whoop. I've got to pose a conversational piece. Right. I believe that playoff basketball is about matchups.

So everything you just said about letting two guys dice up the best defensive team in the NBA is valid, right? Because you're like, how? It's the perfect matchup for Kyrie and Luka because we got, as you know, we love defenders. When you love a defender, you know they're going to be out there playing defense. So you really get to go to your offense. get to go to your counters You get to get fouls because they trying to stop you at all costs all the time, right? So you see Kyrie and Lucas slow the game down in the second half They get see the adjustments. I see the strategy. They slow it down and get to these spots They know you can't double from there. You can't double from here. I got I got all my options, right? I asked the question and I said this if

the Denver Nuggets were to play against the Mavericks, who would win that series? Denver Nuggets. Right? Easily, right? So why is it that the Dallas Mavericks are up 3-0 against the Timberwolves, who beat the Nuggets in seven, and then beat them by 45 points. Game six to lead to that game seven. Did we see this coming for real?

If we can say that the Nuggets would have got rid of the Mavs easily because there's a matchup problem there. But now we look at the team that beat the nuggets handily but in seven in seven games playing against a team that we would think oh they should they should handle them because they handled them but now we see the matchup is different and it's like about to sweep these the guard play it's the guard our guards they about to sweep them but that it's not the guards right and the reason I said it's not the guard play is, and you remember I said it early, every round

is not your round. Every round is not your round. The point of the playoffs is to try to get out of the round. So if you have to be a decoy, be a decoy. Right? Be a decoy. What we've seen last round by Kyrie decoy yeah right this round aggressive first right first half shit now on the

other side Ant-Man this is not your round right This is not your round. The person who round it is don't even fucking realize it. Facts. I mean, Cat. It's your round, bro. You're the one with the mismatch this round. You're the one with the mismatch this round. You're the one that opens up the game. And the fact that you think this is the time to shoot threes when you have a 6'6", 200, 210 at most guarding you,

you refuse to go to the post. See, if you go to the post, it forces them to go bigger, which means they take off someone off the court, or they have the W, which opens up free shooting for everybody else. You have to sacrifice what you want to do. Sit around and shoot a bunch of threes. You're playing to their defense.

They're small. They don't want to, so that means they get to pack the lane, you shoot a bunch of threes, they rebound, let's go. Yep. So that means they get to pack the lane. You shoot a bunch of threes. They rebound. Let's go. Yep. So this is your round. Right?

Rudy, not your round. We don't have Joker. They don't need you. We don't need you. I'm sorry. See, pride is fucking them up. Oh, we got the defensive player of the year. He wants to be on the court. And, you know, we got... Fuck that. This is not his round. Oh, we got the defensive player of the year. He wants to be on the court. Fuck that.

This is not his round. It's coaching, though. You did your round. Y'all remember when Dwight Howard had to play against Joker? Right? He played a lot. Did a great job. Shut him down somewhat, sir.

Miami did not play. That's called smart coaching. We don't need you this round. You might be more of a liability this round. Hey, big fella, you did your job. Your championship was last round. Congratulations. We're going to play smaller to compete with them.

You have to be a coach and understand it. Fuck off. The award is won. That's a regular season award. Bitch, this is the playoffs. He can't play on this court Nas read at the four Cat at the cat at the five that means lively has to guard cat Nas read

We're not reads gonna be a mismatch to this is big man game and Austin play down there I know yeah, but and he could play he can play both Not Nas read and go be sitting there just chucking a whole bunch of threes with Lively on him. Nah. I mean, with. Derrick Jones. Derrick Jones. That's your little ass.

But you think about it, though. They're playing zone against him. Huh? They're playing zone. I don't give a fuck what you play. But that's the real. Flash, high, low, flash. Think about what I'm saying.

If the Dallas Mavericks are playing zone against you because cat don't want to get down there and y'all not Changing your lineup. You still got Rudy in the game for no reason There's all no reason There is no even defensively Defensively, they're not driving to the club where you can get box blocks So there's no reason to have a man but like you said the pride I don't think it's Rudy's pride I think it's the coat is the coaching saying we're not going to change what we do for them. But you're down 0-3, and Ant-Man is taking all the responsibility, like you said, to not change his game.

He said in the press conference before game three, I'm going to be ultra aggressive. Yeah, we know. Like, damn, bro, you already made your mind up before even seeing the scheme. And is that something you need to tell the media at that point? Oh, just do it. No, no I'm gonna take a bunch of shots again. What? It's not even about doing it more than you gotta watch the fucking tape you be an ultra aggressive It's not helping when they're plans on you're just taking more shots Just for the fucking help the health of your motherfucking mind. You don't need to do that

You need to read and react you need to see it. What are we doing? That's messing up. Oh We're not taking advantage of this matches as it is you want to see the last play of game two, right? When I was reading we're taking the three so we've got that queued up for you So here is the last play of the game three seconds left And finds not one point game y'all go for the three no foul no drives thoughts on that last play I'm gonna go back four second three seconds don't play it right here boom Right here, boom. Why is Rudy in the game?

I'm going to be honest with you. Why is Rudy Gobert in the game? Listen, Rudy got to, if he go up and go, he could throw, I don't know if he could throw that lob, but. Here's a question. Okay, where Ant is, right, we know you're not going to go for the lob,

right? So that means his angle, he's going for three, which is fine with us. I will switch Conley and Ant, man, right, and then see how they play that. Maybe we can just throw the ball to him right there this he's a mid-range guy he's he's athletic one two dribble he's gonna pull up but you have

him right there it's a simple it's simple all these creative plays like we the fuck are you gonna shoot a jumper worst case scenario you know Like, I would do take Conley. Or double pick. Both Rudy and what's his name? Go pick. Go for Ant-Man, right? I would take Conley first, clear him out the box, go around to the other corner, go over the top, and then bring Ant-Man for the baseline jumper right here. Off of Rudy, off of Nas coming off.

And then Rudy goes set the screen for Nas on the cross screen. What's so funny, this is technically already like the Iverson cut. Yes. So I wouldn't, because Conley, because there's so much time, Conley just dip out and then

Ant-Man run off, double screen, and come to where Conley is. And just we can make it, and come to where Conley is. And just we can make it. It's damn near a back pass. And it's forcing the bigs to switch off to Ant-Man. And then worst case scenario, if Lively decides to try to get Ant-Man because he got hit, Rudy go to the rim. And you get a foul because you're down one.

You can get a foul. Rudy got an angle to go to the rim. Kind of. So this is not the shot you want with three seconds left in the game down one. You don't need a three. See? Going away from the basket. Go back. Go back.

Go back. That play was nice. Look at, watch Rudy. Watch, watch Rudy. Watch Rudy. This is what they drew up. They drew up. Keep going.

Keep going. Keep going. All the way to the beginning. Nas Reed, backdoor. Like it's just all. All the way to the beginning. Like it's. Go back to the beginning, bro. We're shot.

There's nowhere to go. There's nowhere to go. Keep going, keep going. Keep going. Keep going all the way to the beginning, bro. Keep going. Keep going, keep going, keep going. Now look at Rudy. So like you just said, you said empty out Conley, right?

Take him to the corner. What is Rudy doing if he's not even setting the screen? He just goes down and clears out. He should not even be on the court. He's not an option. Man, that was the play. He's not an option. Everyone should be an option.

He should be going to the rim, though. With three seconds left, everyone should be an option. And I'm going to tell you they can't go to the rim. Go, and I'm going to tell you when to slow down. Right? So you got Rudy on one block, and Conley is not moving fast enough to dip out. So stop it right now. Even if they don't switch and what's the name?

Curls. Kyrie is going to be the help guy in the middle. Right now, even if Nas Reed, they're switching. Nas Reed is hit and take off, cut towards that basket. Right? It's hit him. They're switching and you're switching. Nas Reed is hit and take off, cut towards that basket. Right? It's hit him. They're switching, and you're cutting. But even if you was open, Kyrie's there because you didn't dip out fast enough.

All these plays have to be moving in real time. It's a guard on guard. But this is why you don't run certain plays. Because if I want this back door, I can't have a possibility of a help man. So I would have never had... Conley go to the corner. Yes. I would have had Conley

try to do an upscreen for Rudy. Fake upscreen. It's just a decoy upscreen and hopefully get a backdoor because I know they're going to switch. I know they're going to switch. So it's a phantom pick Nas Nas read to the basket Look at him. Look at look at the look at he's he's switched that means if Nas cut who has the help if Conley's not there

And what you point you what you can see is that Finch is not an offensive guy. He's a coach Yeah, he's a defense yeah he's a defense he's a he's a defensive guy and that's what he's hung his hat on all season is the defense but what I've seen this playoffs is that he doesn't have a secondary regulator for his team Nas Reed would be that because he's coming off the bench he was six six minutes a year and he can score, but he don't even have plays for Nas. Like, Cat is supposed to be your second guy and he only comes in the game and shoot pick and pop threes, wide open, whatever. Like, he don't have no, we're going to cross screen on the block for Cat to get the ball on the block for a little jump hook. We're going to isolate him on the wing where he can do his own little, like, none of that

happens, bro. They can't beat this team with that. They're not going to beat Boston. They don't have a chance of beating Boston with that. So let's move on to game three. Mavs and Wolves were back in action in Dallas Sunday night. Before the game, Amos said he was going to be more aggressive offensively, pointing out that he hadn't taken more than 17 shots in a game so far in the first two games of the series. But Luka and Kyrie continue to show why they are the best duo in the series and arguably

in the entire league. So Mavs led by as much as 12 in the first half and were up by as much as 10 in the third quarter when Ant and the Wolves made things interesting. So Ant scored 10 of his 26 points in the third, including a vicious dunk that we will get to shortly or not. Vicious dunk on Daniel Gafford, helping the Wolves take their first lead since the first quarter, but the Mavs tied it up heading into the final period.

In the fourth, Luke and Kyrie took over the game yet again. Kyrie scored 14 of his 33 points in the final period, and Luke and Kyrie combined to outscore the Wolves 21-20 in the fourth quarter. Mavs went on a 14-3 run in the last five minutes of the game and were 5-5 from the field. The Wolves were 1-8 and 0-4 from three in that same time frame. And you see, ooh, ooh, right in the kiddies' grill. Oz with the Mavs up six.

Look at that, man. Daniel Gafford put the exclamation point on the game, catching a lob from Luka. Dunking on Gobert for the and one. Okay, you ain't jumping. What I'm saying, you ain't, like, why are you not jumping? No, I mean, you, Wimby's jumping at that. The Kimmy Mutombo's jumping at that. Andy Davis is jumping at that. They can't make my tumble jumping at that.

Andy Davis is jumping at that. Why? I mean, because it's up there. Right. I mean, just your presence alone. Like guys who ain't scared to get dunked on. You throw in the lob like, you know, it's a lob. You know, it's not a shot.

So you're going to go up there and challenge it anyway. Maybe you tip it. Maybe it might be too much. But the fact that you're just turning around trying to figure out where the foul is in worst case scenario, right? Mavs have five times as many lobs than any other team in the playoffs, so you know that's what they're doing. That's what they're

going to. It just, now if that was Cat and Cat didn't jump, makes sense. He's not a shot blocker. That's not, he's not tall enough to get up there. But, you know, you're thinking a big guy, you're going to go up there and try to, like, it's coming at me. Like, you're going to try to do something. It's tough.

Yeah. So. Out of position. As you think about the players, why they have that play? Because it's Luke on the weak side with Kyrie on the back side. Ant-Man can't help down and you can't help up. No, not Ant-Man. We're talking about Rudy. No, I know. You know what I'm saying? So Rudy, like, he has

to make a decision whether he helps up or stays back. If he stays back and tries to jump for it, he's still out of position. But you know what I'm saying? He didn't step up anyway. No, because he was falling down. He's like, I don't need to step up. But like you're saying, for him to jump and try to contest it, it's still you lose-lose.

He don't dunk on that. I'd rather do that. But listen, he might get fouled two free throws instead of an and one. Something, though. You got to try it. You got to try it. You can do. They haven't missed on that play at all. They're 100%.

They're 100% on that play. It's and one, and one. I just fucking go up there and try to get the ball. Like, shit. So, Luka finished with 33.7 rebounds, five assists, and five steals. Joins Chris Middleton as the only player in NBA history. 30.5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, and 5 threes in a playoff game. Can't refute that stat, Gil. It's been verified. Kyrie had 33 and 4 assists. He was 12 for 20 from the field, 3 for 6 from 3.

P.J. Washington had 16 points, 8 boards. Ant-Man led the Wolves with 26 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists. Took 24 shots in the game, made 11 of them. But he only scored 4 points in the fourth quarter. Mike Conley had 16. J. McDaniels added 15. Cat had 14 points and 11 rebounds, but was 5 for 18 from the field, 0 for 8 from 3. Nas Reed had 14 points off the bench.

Kyle Anderson added 10. Mavs have now won 5 straight games. Went away from reaching the finals for the first time since 2011. The Wolves, on the other side, started the playoffs 6-0, are 2-6. Thoughts on Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals? Yo, that P.J. Washington kid is all right. Yo, is he paid already? I know he signed a contract a couple years ago. He might be coming up soon.

I mean, Cat got to look himself in the mirror. You're posting up Kyrie turnover. You're posting up P.J. Washington, you can't score, turnover. How the fuck are you really doing out there? I'm sorry. Like, I get three-point shooting is good,

but not fucking every game, man. Yeah. Not every game, dog. Like, that shit ain't cute. 0 for 4. Get some fucking layups.

Get some free throws. See this shit go in. You look stupid out there. It's like a dude who's forcefully trying to get fouls because he got fouls last game. Then he's out there foul-seeking, looks stupid on layups. You look stupid now.

You have little guys on you, and you can't properly post the fuck up. That's embarrassing. While Kyrie is posting up your best defender. Pick and roll, oh, you don't want to help? All right, fucking backing him up at the free throw line, fucking doing fadeaways on him. He's doing fadeaways against your big dudes,

and you can't fade away against him. You can't even get the fucking ball against him. Let me ask a question. You can't even get the fucking ball against him. Mm-hmm Let me ask a question You ain't ate all day Well, you hungry. Okay Right, that's very hungry. That's you see you see a little smorgasbord of food When you're hungry a little what when you hungry right you like

And I'm hungry as hell. I can't wait to... It looks like Cat doesn't have any hunger, but he ain't ate all day. Luca, what Luca look like? That Cat? Luca look like he can't wait to eat. He does look like a... I'm hungry. ...Hale Garfield. But he look like he been eating already, right?

He been eating, but he's still hungry. I'm still hungry. Harold Garfield. But he look like he been eating already, right? He been eating, but he still hungry. I'm still hungry. See, I thought you was going to use it a different way. I thought you was going to say, it look like he ain't been eating. So when you see some food, you just take it in. And it look like, you know, when you ain't got the ball for five straight minutes, as soon as you touch it, he's going to chuck it. That's what I thought you was hungry like he like when I get the ball I'm

gonna make sure I finish my food who weekend so right so cat look like he don't he like he could show up put the food on his plate and throw it away. Not even eat it? Not even eat it. He not hungry. He not hungry. You just wasting food. Don't make the plate. Don't make the plate.

That's what Cat doing. He's wasting food. Luka and Kyrie out there like, hey man, you see all this fucking food out here? You see all this fucking food? Man I'm starving. Kyrie's so hungry that he's like, yo, I can't wait to get back to the motherfucking chips so I can try to get this food that they took away from me.

I was so hungry. I'm Ramadan-ing. Bro, he Ramadan-ing. Ramadan Kyrie is a thing. And you know what else? They owe him an apology, too, a lot of people. Huh? A lot of people owe him an apology for that.

But the wolves got there there and they're like, oh, man, we ain't really hungry like that. Not Memorial Day weekend. You got to make a point. That's why it's important. And I've always said it. It's important to have different packages in your game. Yep.

Right? You know, some of these guys, they're going against someone who has their package down. You got to mix it up. And what they're seeing on the other side, you got two dudes who's giving you all of their package. Step back threes, mid-range, post-up, floor. They're giving you everything in this series.

Different games. These two look different every game. Facts. We're seeing something new. Kyrie and Luka is looking different every game. They take this away, they're doing something different. They take these two things away, they're killing you this, they make you give them back that.

Like, oh, shit, he's doing a step back. All right, I'm going to hit you with the mid-range. All right, fuck that, we don't like that. All right, that's what they're doing to you. They're giving you, Cat, we know what you, Chuck 3. That's it. Chuck 3, step back. We know what you want to do.

Right, we know even if you miss four, That's it. Chuck 3, step back. We know what you want to do. Right? We know even if you miss four, you're going to do four more. Yep. Even if you make four, motherfucker, we ain't going to take it away because we know you're going to give us four more. Yep. You're going to be happy with that, so we're not going to take it away from you because you're going to try to get back to it anyway. You looked at Steph Curry and thought Steph Curry was a three-point shooter, Steph Curry was a puppet master.

Handle, ha, he got this first. Floater, layup package, mid-range, hit you with a floater, now you're like, oh, shit. Hit you with the three, now you're like, oh, you with the three night like oh shit hit you with the Hesi Hesi like he to get his three off he had to have the other two when he started throwing layups in and start doing this this is layup packaging so he has to open up his game giving you the other two so he can get the three he needs to get the three so he has to have a nice handle if he doesn't have a nice handle he's not gonna the illusion you guys don't have no illusion to your game we know what you're gonna do so cat only one turnover in this series but as a wise

man once told me bad threes are turnovers yeah i mean yeah bad possessions bad hey yo so how good of a coach is jk with what he's done like what he's done this year and you know what he's had you're talking about team that was 11th last year finished fifth in the west this year now a game away from making the finals you know obviously that trade those trades before the deadline it says a lot it says a lot you know like i think that's too. Like, you got a lot of bunch of, like, champions, veteran leaderships that's in that locker room, too. Of course, Kyrie's 1-1. You know, I know they got Tyson Chandler on the coaching staff.

You know, Jake, I mean... They got a great staff unit, and it's showing in full time, right? We looked at... Most of us, we looked at the talent on the roster and said yeah they're not good enough yeah i want to apologize for that too not realizing how brilliant we all got based on how they finished last season coming in with the squad but after the deadline one of the best defensive teams in the league went on a big run now i think the apology just needs to be

towards kairi and that's kairi specifically at like ESPN and TNT Well, my apologies knocking them for the defensive side early on because they were still trying to figure out rotations and I think the development of Jones and And then PJ getting there and being able to take Josh Green out the lineup See really wouldn't like I'm thinking Josh Green, Derrick Jones that ain't enough then Tim Hardaway somehow he got hurt and then he's out of the lineup I thought he was a great piece that would you know I'm saying take them over but then

I'm just like they don't play no defense Josh between Josh Green and like it's just not enough out there but like you say J Kid being able to segment how the league is working and say we don't really need to play individual defense. We need to play team defense. And we can segment that. The offense side going to kill it because I was concerned about how Luca and Kyrie would play together offensively because they wasn't clicking. No, that's what I said.

Last year they were clicking. They just didn't know who was going to hit the game winner. But together, they were clicking. It was the rest of the team that didn't know how to play with them. And that took a year, and now we see where they are. You got to give Kyrie and Luka love for the defensive side, too. I know you're saying it's a team defensive effort, but the energy is there, I feel like, from both of them,

especially Luka, but that's been a big knock on his game. Well, think about it. This is what i said about the ant-man comment you you guys are not being challenged against offensively gifted guys so i can't say that their their effort is is is going to be commendable to me because they're playing against guys who are limited like Like McDaniels and number nine, Alexander. They're guarding guys who have to pass to Ant-Man, right? And then Ant-Man is being doubled. He got a wall against him. So it's like, I'm part of the wall.

You're part of the wall. Like if we was to see like against the Clippers, they had to change their defense because they got juggernauts coming at them. So it's like, we can't play one-on-one defense against these guys. So I think that's J.K.'s testament of being a great coach is saying, I'm not going to put these guys in this type of position where they have to go one-on-one against anybody. We have to help them at all costs, save their energy.

On the other end, we're going to kill everybody because they're not going to do what we're doing. You remember I said a long time ago, I said, I don't like attacking bad defenders because a bad defender, the team is prepared to help him. Absolutely. Right? The Wolves are what? Very good. Number one. Yep.

Very good. Which means what? No help. No help. No help. Prideful. I got you. We man No help. No help. No help. Prideful. I got you. Man on man.

Facts. And these two are like, yeah. Man on man. Lunchtime. Lunchtime. Lunchtime. They don't want to play against bad defenders. Because the bad defenders are going to require them to help them.

So we want to, this is your best defender? Okay, one on one. You're going to require them to help them. So we want to... This is your best defender? Okay, one-on-one. You're going to play me one-on-one. So the reason these two are killing you is because you respect your defense too much. Facts. You respect your defense. You're going to be able to play these two gifted dudes one-on-one. There's nobody on your damn team who's good enough to stop them one-on-one.

OKC. Lou Doran. That's what fuck OKC up. We got Lou Doran on and we don't need to help? Do you know he averaged 34 this season? And that is Kyrie Irving. That's Kyrie. I don't give a fuck. I'm sorry. I remember we played against

the Kobe's and all that. Like, no, help me. Help me, motherfucker. What are you talking about? Help me tonight. I got Steve Nash on the pick and roll guild. Help. Help.

He is who he is. What the fuck are we talking about? Yeah. I don't care. Cut your pride out, goddammit. These, they are who they are for a reason. That means every night, one-on-one, there's not 29 teams, a defender that can guard them one-on-one. Ever.

I don't give a fuck what your team defense says. Because I know individually, not one of them made the all-team defense as a guard position. So they're a guard hey coach you said uh man-on-man hey do you did you see the list it was like it was a second team defensively I wasn't on it so therefore motherfucker help as a group we number one as the individual shit i'm ranked probably 29 help so luca and kairi first starting backcourt to each score 30 plus points three times in a playoff run in the last 50 years so during game two and game three stan van gundy called kairi and luca the most talented

backcourt in the history of the n, is that facts or cap? Most talented? Most talented backcourt in the history of the NBA. So talent, just their natural talent. Okay. And at one point, he said offensively, but then he dropped offensively and just said most talented. That could be the same thing. I mean, it's the same. Okay.

You're not saying the best. You're just saying naturally the most talented. So, LeBron and Kyrie wasn't a backcourt? No. Technically. I'm just asking because they both have 40 apiece. No, no, no. Technically, no.

Technically, because LeBron was the point and Kyrie was the shooting guard. I'm just saying because that stat, first 30. No, they're saying backcourt is just one position, point guard and shooting guard. Yeah, but they treat LeBron as a small forward. But they treat LeBron as a small forward when he played the point. So technically, you can throw him in there and argue it because

LeBron led the team in assists, but the way they're doing it, it's the one and the two, so yeah. I'm just saying because that was a hell of a backcourt right there. So the backcourt. It was okay. It ain't like this. Who?

LeBron and Kyrie? They won a championship. That was cool. But talent. They did a 73-9. It ain't like this. Talent. But is talent just overall talent?

I mean, they're probably the most talented. So you would call Luka and Kyrie the most talented so you would call Luca and Kyrie the most talent talented talented in the history of the NBA Bron and Kyrie shit you gotta be You're not talking about to play there's not just two individuals it has to be a backcourt that I mean, you know I'm arguing that that was a backcourt. Okay, do you know that LeBron and Kyrie? It was a backcourt in Cleveland You know what that means though? What means that Luca is more talented than LeBron James?

It means no no because they don't do that. No, no, no, no, no, no do that They don't put they don't put LeBron as a point guard They're putting him as a small force so he doesn't even get any equation. So Lucas more talented than LeBron James. No No one is putting him in that category. Are you putting... Absolutely. So wait, are you putting... No, no, no. Are you putting him as a point guard?

Since what you just said... Are you putting him as a point guard? The prefaces of what you just said, putting LeBron at the point forward, in that... No, no, not point forward. Is he a point... Are you putting him as a point guard?

Be careful of what you say, because if you put him as a point guard? Be careful of what you say, because if you put him as a point guard, then that means he is the best point guard that ever lived, and Magic Johnson can't hold that anymore. I'll say that. But no one does. I never gave Magic Johnson the best point guard of all time anyway. No one does.

I never thought. I never thought that. We're going to keep him as a small four like everyone does, so as a backcourt, they are the best. They're the most talented backcourt. What about Isaiah Thomas and Joe Dumars? No. No? We're not rolling. Can we go back to what you just asked me? Can we go back to? We're not it's not in the small for the more talented, huh?

The only people that's in there is Kyrie and Harden. Shit, Steph and... Steph and Klay? Steph and Klay. If we're talking... But that's talent. See, that's what I'm saying. So we can't say Paul Pierce and Ray Allen then. We can't say them two.

Who? We can't say Paul and Ray Allen. Paul's a three. That's what I'm saying. We can't say... So we're talking about point guard, shooting guard. Let's go back to what you said. Luka, more talent.

Pardon? Stop, stop. I have to... Because we. Luka, more talented. Pardon? Stop. Stop. I have to. Because we're not talking about positions anymore. We're talking about talent. We're talking about talented guard position. We're not talking about dual. No, we're not talking about dual.

We're not talking about dual. I'm talking about head-to-head, too. I'm talking about head-to-head. Rashad said that Luka is more talented than LeBron James. Luka, LeBron James. Man, he would say P.J. Tucker more talented than LeBron James if you let him. Is P.J. Tucker more talented than LeBron James Yeah, he'll say PJ Tucker more than talented than LeBron James if you let him is PJ Tucker more talented LeBron James, okay Why do you feel like Luca is more talented than the Bruce or even we watch basketball don't I mean I watch a different basketball How many I give Lucas look you what's it is? Come on man. We're talking about talent. I love Lucas. I'm just...

We're talking about talent. God, leave LeBron. Why don't people want to have the hard conversations, man? That's what's confusing. I'm like, it's like... Because... It's not far off to have the conversations because we're not diminishing anything.

We're just saying, let's evaluate the talent. Okay. Right? What is the criteria of talent? Because you got Kyrie played with both of these guys. Okay. What Luka's doing on that court in a one-on-one past team element, LeBron was doing similar.

He did not have what Luka has. And Luka don't have what he has. What does he have? What does the criteria of Luka doesn't have? What is the criteria of talent? You know that answer. I know that answer. No one else knows that answer.

So tell us what it is. So someone can average six points. Tell us what it is. And someone like Nick Young is probably top five, one of the most talented players that ever came as a shooting guard. Yes. When it comes to talent. Yeah, because you don't throw stats in then.

Okay, so don't go throwing stats in. So stats have nothing to do with talent? guard. Yes. When it comes to talent. Yeah, because you don't throw stats in then. Okay, so... So don't go throwing stats in to... So stats have nothing to do with... No. Okay, okay. No.

So yes, they are then the best... They are the most talented duo. Duo. In UCLA. They are the most talented duo. Yes.

That's how I evaluate talent. I don't throw stats in. I mean, Kobe stats in. How good is he? How good is he? Is he good? Is he really, really good? Very, very messed up. Really, really good? I mean, Kyrie, no, you

can't throw stats in there, Kyrie. I'm just telling you the accolades. Kyrie, we can't, we're just talking about, talent is just your natural ability. Yeah, we just, but what do you do with that talent? That's another thing. That's a whole different conversation. So like when he says these are the most two talented players, yes.

Are these the two best? Like if you would have said these are the two best backcourt? No, not even close. They're not even in the same realm. The two best backcourt players in history is the Splash Brothers. Mm, okay. They are the most accomplished backcourt.

Mm, mm. That's it. I feel like I was more talented. Right, there's two MVPs. There's two MVPs there. Right, you got all NBA, you got all All-Star, and there are four champs. That's what that backc possesses. Now, you go from there and move on.

Right? Joe Dumars and Isaiah Thomas. Isaiah Thomas. So, they're going to be up there. Kobe's going to fall short because you got him and Derrick Fisher. But Derrick Fisher's going to fall short

to anybody else. That's fair. I know you feel like you was more talented than a lot of these niggas who were. Talented, yes. Of you. Yeah, of course. Right? Yeah, we all did. Yeah, I definitely, I don't even feel, I know.

But we're not talking talent. I know I was better than a lot of the top 15 niggas of all time. Yes, but we're not talking talent right now. We're talking about the best duo. So there's talent duo, then there's the best duo. Y'all think I don't like LeBron like that, man. Like somebody had...

Melo, you was cool, but... Stephen A. Smith had... Carmel Anthony? No, Stephen A. Smith had... What's the name in there? He had the backcourt of Lakers. Carmel Anthony was cool. He was cool, bro. He had Bird and...

I mean, he had Magic andcourt of Lakers I'm on Anthony was cool you look cool yeah bird and I mean he had magic and Byron Scott no Byron didn't there was no all-stars there was no all-nba from Byron like so you can't have him in there as the best backcourt Brian he was cool y'all cool you guys but Ronica Melo was not just cool chronic hurry you know how I feel yeah I got less a year the truth man I'm gonna let it go it's the year of the truth, man. I'm going to let it go. It's the year of the truth. Let it go, man. All our... It's the year of the truth.

We on a whole other subject. He's still talking. It's the year of the truth, man. I sit at these tables with these niggas, too. Bro, what's up? We are courtside at the same place as they're courtside. We're talking about none of that shit, man. Like you said, we ain't throwing them stats out.

Y'all had way better careers than I did, but, man, I ain't scared of none of y'all. Let's talk a little bit more about Luka. So with the game decided, Luka has some words for Ant-Man. Luka was asked about it during his post-game interview. At the end of the game, what were you saying to Anthony Edwards? Oh, I can't say. It's not TV appropriate? Okay, so internet pointed out...

Why would I even tell you anyway? The internet pointed out how life was imitating art with Luka doing his best Kermit Wiltz impression from Hustle. You may remember that Anthony Edwards played Kermit Wiltz in that film. You from Atlanta. That's funny. Thank you. I was bringing it back.

I was bringing it back. I can't wait till I see it. That is funny. He got him good on that one. Not the first one. Ant-Man got the Nike on it. It all matches. Not the first, nor the last time

Lucas got in somebody's grill in a moment like this. I was going to ask what you think Lucas said to Ant-Man, but we have an N-word limit on this show. Oh, we have a limit? We have an N-word limit. Did we already reach the limit? We have crossed that threshold.

We are trying to keep this view. I hope he smokes L Slovenian to him. Can we break the limit? So what did the Mavs expose about the Wolves and their top-ranked defense? What Gil just said. Pride. Too much pride, Gil?

Too much pride. It's too much pride when you got everybody playing one-on-one and these guys actually playing team defense. So as much as effort that Luka and Kyrie's showing on defense, everybody's so aligned though. Nobody's out there by themselves. And I mean, justifiably, it feels like the Wolves are feeling themselves.

You dethrone the defending champs, and says, I got Kyrie. There's just a lot of stuff, and I don't even think it was wrong for him to say that, but — and they've been respectful and humble as well on the other side of it But like if they actually like like the plate a play like that the end play lets you know that they really believe They believe those titles And they believe the titles that they have best defense deal. I get it. I get it The fact that you there was no way I can tell you right now there's no way if Luke Longley was out there by himself on a one-four flat with someone

there wouldn't have been a double if if Shaq switched out on me there was no way that was going to be a double I mean that was going to be a double. I mean, that was going to be, I get to play him one-on-one. I remember I got, this is my second year in the NBA. I did a pick and roll, ticket switched out, right? Took ticket, one-four.

Took them, spent, layup, started talking shit, all right? Came back down, same play. Ticket on the iso, they doubled. Shit. He's an all-star MVP. Okay, smart, because I was going to keep doing this because he's the best defensive player, but they were smart enough to know that the ticket, he's a little faster than you, Ticket. So let me go just double get the ball out of his hand, get back down there, and we're

not going to switch anymore. You got to be smart. Yeah. It's common sense. You got to be smart. Yeah. It's just common sense. And it's winning basketball. We're trying to win. Like, double. Let somebody else try to beat you, man.

It's just smart. Joe Dumars, Isaiah Thomas versus Michael Jordan. No Scottie Pippen. Mm-hmm. Right? Young Scottie. I think a young Scottie. Was it young Scottie?

Yeah. Young Scottie. He was four years? Yeah, he was young. Yeah. Okay, so there's no Scotty. Still no Scotty. Not the Scotty we know today. So to me, it's like when you got Luka and Kyrie out there against a young Mike,

the mismatch. It's a mismatch, right? Because you don't have anything to switch over to. And I think that conversation between Luka and Ant is, you ain't got enough, young fella. You need more. Because we going to kick your ass all night long. The sad part is they have more.

They have more. Offensively. No, they have one defensively and offensively have more. You just got one who thinks he's Kyrie at 6-fucking-11. Catman. Cat and Ant-Man is supposed to be what Luka and Kyrie are doing, right? If they're doing the same thing, you take those four out, who has the better team now?

Let's just say they take Cat out and we put Donovan Mitchell in there. Is it a better matchup? No. No. If Cat played in the post... No, I get what you're saying. I'm just saying, let's give him another guard that can score.

Because we're matching up with a guard. I don't need another guard to match with this guard I have a big man who who has a mismatch but if I used him of course then you take those four out take off the better take out the four who has the better team now of course so that means one guy is not doing his job of course that's all but what I'm saying is the matchups guard wise that conversation between them two is you don't got another guy

like I got another guy. I do. I have an aunt. He don't want to be the other guy. Aunt ain't Kyrie. I don't need him to be Kyrie.

I just need him to be him down there. I got a Kyrie. I don't get Kyrie. He ain't nowhere near that. Even at his best

he ain't nowhere close. Yeah but it's still a learning experience for the Seawolves, though. I'm going to say that overall, though. If Cat was given 26 and 10, it'd be a different matchup, but he wants to sit there and shoot threes. Talking about Cat, for the series,

Cat, who is a self-proclaimed greatest big man shooter of all time, shooting 28% from the field and his three for 22 from three. the series, Cat, who is a self-proclaimed greatest big man shooter of all time, shooting 28% from the field, and it's three for 22 from three. Damn. He was asked about his shooting struggles and had this to say. I'm playing up to 1,500 shots a day, and shots so well, all playoffs, confidence extremely high, and to be having these unfortunate bounces and these looks that are just not going in it's it's tough. It's tough for sure

Cat Kappa Eli, no nobody's shooting 1500 shots a day right now. It takes you. I'm the okay wait before you go there So I never made I never took shots I made I did makes so to make To make 300 in a day takes about 45 minutes. So if you're taking 1,500, it's going to take you about two and a half hours. And you already practiced this to wrestle his cap. Cap. Fucking everybody up there, all capping up there. How long did it take to make 300 shots for Gilbert Arenas

every if you have a shooting machine which they got to update their software their shooting machines today so you have a shooting machine you put it on 3 seconds you got 5, 550 to shoot 100 shots so basically you can shoot 500 shots in less than 30 minutes.

So, 1,500 shots is just an hour and a half. No breaks, though. No breaks. And that's just depending on if you're in one spot or you're moving around. Yeah. And the fact that, but it's still, every three seconds, that's the math. So, he can shoot 1,500 shots, but I'm pretty

sure he's only shooting threes. I'm pretty sure he ain't doing nothing else his motherfucker Thank he uh Cal Corbin out this bitch Right and he just became a three-point shooter and the fact that he proclaimed himself as the big best three-point shooter best big man shooter yeah So stuck it you're stuck game of factor facts or cap cap We gotta listen to what cat said though listen to what cat said He cat said he's shooting up to

1500 shots for okay. He didn't say I'm shooting 1500 shot for that shooting up to 1500 shots per day facts or cap not believe that Yeah, yeah, I'm coming your time To see that that's what they not account for they get to automatically jump into it because Think about a night. You can go at night, you can do two hours at night. I'm going to shoot two hours at night, I can go after practice. If he got a court at his crib, like he got one upstairs-

Which he should, right? Which he should. So I got to do two hours after practice, however many I can get in two hours. I'm shooting that bitch to my... I'm sore. I'm going to go get my rehab, and I'm back in two hours. I'm shooting that bitch tomorrow. I'm sore. I'm gonna go get my rehab I'm back in there after dinner, man. I'm gonna eat I'm gonna go shoot again And if I can't sleep I'm gonna wake up again and I'm gonna go to the it's right in the other room

He ain't thinking like that. There's another room. Hey, you know at your peak over the shots. We're doing it Yeah, that ain't the way off exactly. He ain't bored. So that means I I'm shooting like shit Think about how your mentality is a shooter view missing shots You missing shots He missed the free throw he went he didn't lead a gym Go into your peak when you're gonna leave it to 3 in the morning with the jersey on how many shots do you feel? like you were shooting per day 500 was if How many shots do you feel like you were shooting per day? 500. But if I'm playing bad.

Yeah, that's why he didn't beat me. So it was 200 to 300 shots. That's why he didn't beat me. That ain't enough. You haven't challenged me by myself. We can go in the back right now. I guarantee I'll smoke you. I guarantee that.

Let's go. Fire up the barbecue. We're going to go right after this. Get some hot leaks. All right. I'm ready. We're going to go right after this. Definitely ready. I'm good. That means he's been shooting. No he doesn't. I haven't shot in two months. You haven't taken a basketball shot in two months. So we can go there after.

So the fact that they said we look tired. What game was that? Game one. Game two Anthony Edwards got the oxygen mask in the fourth quarter just to point that out. We look tired. What game was that? After game one. We're tired. Game two, Anthony Edwards got the oxygen mask in the fourth quarter just to point that out. So we're tired. And you want to say that you're taking up to 1,500 shots a day when we know you're tired. So obviously you're getting more rest. Because I know in today's NBA, they're not allowing you to be in a gym as much as you want to.

That's where you get your home gym. So the guy who's taking the most shots is playing the worst. Okay. I'm going to just say okay. So we asked the chat, is Cat putting up 1,500 shots per day? It don't matter. We got over 2,000 voters. 81% said Cat.

No, 1, 1500 shots a day So how long one day two days a day? I was he said up to so that's easy Like but bro, we can shoot 500 a spot. Yes spot spot spot three spots wing top wing Okay, that's I could do that in it and I would have two hours. Yeah, are you gonna be three for 22? No, okay. Okay. So we're right. Cap. He not me.

He not me. But listen, he didn't say what type of shots. So like you said, he could just be sitting there shooting threes. He's just sitting there shooting threes. But I'm saying he's not taking 1,500 threes a day. But we don't know that. That's the difference. We don't know that.

Because I can tell you, a day means game day. He did not take 1,500 shots on game day. We don't know that. That's the difference. We don't know that. Because I can tell you, a day means game day. He did not take 1,500 shots on game day. We don't know. We know he didn't take 1,500 shots on game day. Well, listen, if he is doing that right now, every day, it's hurting him, and he needs to stop. This is why we're going to call cap. When is the game? If he shows

us video of him doing it, we don't get penalized for being wrong. No. We don't get penalized for being wrong if we can prove it. So you think he took 1,500 shots on game day? I know that it's possible. On game day, Sunday. Any day. No, some day.

No, I'm not talking about any day. I'm talking about Sunday, the day of the game. You think he took 1,500 shots? I don't think he's referencing that. I don't think he's referencing game days. Okay, that's per day. Per day means every day. No, no.

So that means- I'm saying no. So he didn't day. So that means he didn't take it on Sunday. He didn't take it on Friday. He didn't take it on Wednesday. Right? So he didn't take it on Tuesday. So that means... That means Tuesday. Right?

Only on the off days. So that means he has to take 3,000 shots on those days. Why? Because the other day is zero. You're trying to make it make sense with your own math. Stop it, bro. You see how this nigga... So that means that he has to do 3,000 because he said...

No, it's about... Off days, he's doing 15. Did he say every other day or did he say off day? I'm sure up to 1,500. So it could be one... Per what? Could to 1,500. So it could be one. Per what? Could be 1,500. Per what?

Per day. Per day. Means per day. Per day means exactly what it sounds like. Every day when you calculate it, so seven days a week, when we calculate it, it should add up to 1,500 per day. So that means if he's not shooting 1,500 per day on game days game days that means off days He has to double his amount. Thank you He misspoke also he missed oh, yeah, okay misspoke last question on this question Just talking shit

I'm trying to get my shit back. I shoot a lot. It just ain't going in I need to I got your help You just have to say that number. I got a son who's 12, right? I'm like, yo, how did you play this weekend? Oh, I'm averaging 30. Yeah, I need to put you in private school quick because you had 12 last game. The game before that, you had 35. And then you had 15 this game. Bitch, that do not Add up to 35 per day

Why does Rashad have the trophy? I don't say that. Hey, Dad, why does Rashad have the trophy? You said you won all the games today. This guy's hilarious. Hey, I let him take it home. I let him take it home. Nope, don't say that. I'm being, I say what I win in this, I lost in that. All right, so last question on this subject before we move on.

No, you got to know what I average is. What I average is all of it together. You know in the black community, we put extras on things. So if I was your son and I had one 35-point game, that means I was averaging 30. I'm averaging 35. I'm averaging up to 35 for the tournament. You can't bring that map in this house. Hold on.

So teams are 0 and 154 all-time with facing a 3-0 deficit in the playoff. 0 and 154. So 0-154 all-time with facing a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs. 0-154. So 0-154 all-time with facing a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs. After the game, Nas Reed said, if anyone can win four straight in this scenario, I think it's us. Last year, Eastern Conference Finals, we did see the Celtics. We were down 3-0, come back, went through games, lost game seven. Will the Wolves force a game five or go outside?

Depending on what Adam on. I know you're going to add 0 and 155. Okay. We're going to add that. I don't give a fuck what we say over here or how many games it's going to go. We're going to add 0 and 155.

That's going to be the new number. Okay, that is. They ain't got no answer for them boys out there. So they look like Bob Hope's cousin. No hope. Yeah, I was hoping to be Shostradamus on this one. Okay, no Shostradamus. Because I predicted Wolves, Boston. It's okay.

But it's a better narrative now. Hell yeah. Kyrie coming back to Boston. Przingis. Yeah. Luka. Tatum versus the Euros. Kyrie back in Boston. Yeah. And. Yeah. Luka. Tatum versus the Euros. Kyrie back in Boston.

Yeah. And if they sweep, if both teams sweep, they got eight days off. So that's not so. Well, that's a lot of time. So therefore, both teams ain't going to get no sweep. They ain't both going to lose one. Let's just say one of these games, or maybe is gonna have a what's the name Tony brothers? If they don't split them both up

You're not gonna have this big of a gap You're not gonna have this big out man without gap. You're not going to have this big of a gap. Without making no money. Think about just media. Sports itself. Right? I mean. How many days would that be? Ten?

Eight. That's just WNBA, right? Eight days. Eight days of LeBron topics. They don't. On the first day of LeBron. So, most likely they're going to try to figure out how to at least get two games extra. At least get us through the week.

Adam Silver, all right, you got a lot of great basketball. There's going to be a game where most likely it'll probably be the Wolves series. I mean, they're going to need – they can do it against Boston, but it's going to probably, it'd be smart if they go one and one. Just four and one on both sides, and then there's only what, a four game difference, four day difference? That sounds better. Is Holly coming back today?

Probably. Oliver? I don't know. He got that 41. If I'm him, I'm chilling. Really? I got my money. So,'m him, I'm chilling. Really. I got my money. So let's talk about Pacer Celtics. For all the Bostonian fans out there quietly calling us the N-word under their breath.

Pacer's got some bad news during their game. Two losses to Celtics on Thursday. Tyrese Halliburton left with a hamstring injury. Halliburton. Same one. But he got that 41 million. He got his 41, so it was worth it. He got that 41 million. Hey, he invested in.

He probably didn't even hurt it. It's just still hurting, motherfuckers. It's probably just still hurting. So Halliburton was sidelined for game three. Pacers blew another opportunity to make this series competitive. So Pacers was led by as much as 18 in the second half without their all-NBA point guard as Andrew Nebhart and TJ McConnell put the teams on their back to

fill the void. But the Celtics responded going on a 13-4 run in the third quarter to cut the lead to nine heading into the fourth. Pacers were up eight in the final three minutes of the game but let the Celtics go on a 13-2 run as Drew Holiday made his presence felt on both sides of the ball. Holiday scored five points in the final 38 seconds

to help put the game away. Also came... Oh, you've seen that coming. Yeah, we see it. Oh, my. We see it. But here is the run right here. Evan Turner. There you go.

Jalen Brown. The marketable Jalen Brown. The marketable Jalen Turner. Tatum came through, did his thing as well. And you can kind of feel it coming. I'm going to be real. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a great guy.

There it is right there. That's who Ant-Man, that's who Cat wanted to be. He wanted to be Al fucking Horford. But with the Celtics up one game on the line, did not call a timeout, let Nebhard push it. Drew Holiday said, cookies. Proceeded to knock down two free throws. Fucking Rick. Fucking Rick don't want to call a timeout, let Nebhard push it. Drew Holiday said, cookies. Proceeded to knock down two free throws. Fucking Rick. Fucking Rick don't want to call a timeout.

Let me see. Go back. Let me see if I ought to call a timeout. Hold on. Let me see. Hold on. Let me see. Drew Holiday again. Let me see. Hold on. Always saving. Always saving somebody's ass. He saved. He saved. Yeah. Yeah. Seconds. Yeah. Ten seconds. Go, go, go, go, He saved. He saved. Yeah. Yeah. Seconds. Yeah. Ten seconds.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Play. Hold on. Jason Tatum's down, and we're pushing it. Nope. I'm calling timeout. The reason I'm calling timeout is nobody ran back. They already got four back.

Yeah. Everybody's still coming down. Yeah, they got four back. So the fact that. Coach Gil. And it started because of this. Go back, and I would have called and it started because of this go back and I would have called a time off off of TJ Now go oh, that's nice

Yeah, we have we have many graphics we have a team working very hard okay, they just started all day Our technology is Go back a little bit Just a little bit Okay after I got this rebound What TJ does It depends on what I did as a coach See the fact that TJ didn't He sees the ball is secure

But I do have a dude down I got two dudes down Call timeout Because you're going what 3 on 4 And there's no point I got two dudes down, call timeout. Right there. Yep. Because you're going, what, three on four, three on five? They're going Rick again. Not calling timeout. There's no point. I got two dudes out of bounds, right?

And TJ didn't take off. So because I don't have a fast break, so I'm calling timeout. And there ain't no fast break because it's three guards. Yeah. And you got Al Horford back and you got two defensive NBA guys. It all depends if TJ was going to get in front of Brown right here, but he let Brown go in front of him, so that means they got four people back now,

so I would have called a timeout. Pacers had a chance to send the game to OT on the final play, ran a football-style out-of-bounds play. I found Neesmith over for the game tying three, but he could not convert it. Oh, let's see that. We will get it to you in a second. But Jason Tatum led the Celtics by tying his playoff career high with 36 points. He had 10 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals. Jalen Brown added 24 points and

3 assists. Al Horford had 23 points including a playoff career high 7 threes. Drew Holliday been doing his thing. 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals. So Andrew Nebhart said he's trying to get a bag in the near future. He had a career-high 32 points, 9 assists. Miles Turner had his second double-double of the series with 22 and 10. Siakam had 22 and 6 dimes. T.J. McConnell, another big game off the bench, 23 points, 9 rebounds, 6 dimes. I mean, those boys are playing well. They just can't get it done.

Celtics gave the Pacers their first home loss since March 18th. Now one game away from making the finals. Second finals in the past three seasons if it comes into fruition. What did you think about that Pacers squad not having Halliburton still rallying behind each other? And this series is 3-0 Celtics. It could very easily be 2-1 Pacers. They didn't trick off game one. Didn't trick off game three.

What did it? Oh, the timeout. They play better without Holly.lly i mean but that always happens though i feel like when a player goes down everybody in this situation like you know it's hard to put it's hard to like uh prepare for it oh well you playing centered around a star player and all those guys feel like they always gotta to defer to him. Who? Holly. No. They got to get, because he always has the ball in his hand.

No, he defers to them. But he always has the ball in his hands to start the offense. The rest of them get to actually have the ball and shoot shots. Like, them hard can really play. I always said in this series, why they didn't get the mismatch with him and Al Horford more often, because he could hit that mid-range shot coming off the pick and roll. They wasn't going to that.

T.J. McCollum always showed the whole series that he's a hard-nosed player. He can get the buckets. He going against Pritchard. It was a challenge. It's a good matchup. Everybody else is kind of like, what did Pascal do?

He had 20-something. 22 and 6. Boom. And then what did Miles Turner do? 20 and something. 22 and 10 rebounds. They looking like they actually out there like, all right, we can all do, do, do, do, do. But when Hallie's out there, it's not that they can't play good with him.

It's just a different scenery. No, that's what everybody, man, when they lose their squad. They start playing. It's a different scenario. But that doesn't mean that the team is better. No, no. It's different because they are a team. Right?

Holly is, that's who he is. That's why he averages. He led the league in assists because of those guys. So even if you take him out, they still run as a team. They don't have a star. But they play a different style. No, they're playing the same style. They don't have a star player.

That's a different style of basketball. That's a different style. Not having a star out there is a different style of basketball. No, they don't have a star player that that's different style of basketball That's a different style not having a star out there is the difference down. They don't have a star Halle Halle's the store. Oh, he's like he's no different in his first spurts No, what I mean when I mean so I mean the mercy like a main guy that they give the ball to they don't have A there's no that demands the ball. He's sitting there doing the same thing that they all doing We're gonna just kick and drive, kick and drive. So there's nothing different. You're like Chris Paul, basically. No, not even Chris.

No, it's like Steve Nash. Okay. You take Steve Nash off, like somebody else is going to feel a part to make those assists. How many dribbles is Steve Nash taking every possession? A lot. A whole fucking lot. A lot. Right.

Everybody else gets to touch the ball when he's not on the floor. And they were terrible. They lost by three. Okay. I mean, they would ball when he's not on the floor. And they were terrible. They lost by three. Okay. I mean, they would have. It's not terrible to them. I mean, listen, man, when your star player go down. I mean, listen, when your star player go down, whatever, bro,

you're going to go play, go to hell ball. We have nothing to lose. We're down 0-2. So I was expecting everybody to go off. Were you expecting a game like that from Andrew Nembhard. I'm just I mean, I mean, I thought he was better than Suggs in college Yeah, he's good. I watched him in college. I'm like, you know who's dude like like I just seen him do a move and Got to the lane right? I'm like yo, dude keep going, but he just kept deferring to the team

He's more of an NBA style player. so we'll see what happens to him. Okay. I think it's just less pressure when they don't play with the regular. Everybody expects you to lose that game without Halliburton. Yeah, no pressure. They're out there like, all right, let's just hoop. Let's just fucking hoop. And they feel more comfortable when they can just hoop.

And they still lost, so they feel like, damn, man, look how close how close we was it was utter bullshit one time out of way again one time listen i think rick is tricking this shit off bro yeah jim carrey's tricking it off jim carrey's tricking it off the mask what mask you wearing let me show you the wrong one shit let me show you let me show you a shot. Hold on. Let me see. With Hallie, they're averaging. Yeah, see, there's no difference. Hallie, the team is 38 assists. Last game, they were 32 assists. Yeah. It's just somebody's just going to, you know.

Someone just steps up like Neymar. He's Hallie now. But with a better one-on-one. Give me some bread. So, a win is a win. Rashad, we've talked about this just looking at the Celtics squad. But is the Celtics playing down to the level of their opponents a bad sign for this team moving forward in the postseason? They have not been challenged in the Eastern Conference at all.

Will likely face a challenge in the Dallas Mavericks in the finals. I always say, man, when you play to the level of your competition, when you face the real competition, it takes you an adjustment period. And that's all I was saying about Boston the whole time is, man, I don't like this energy that they're giving off. Even if they're beating teams by 20, 30,

it still has you in a different element now. You've been here too many times to take this lightly. Like, you've got to show up where you're a dominant team, where at least when you show up, they have an element of fear because of what you're doing to these other guys. You're dominating them. You're putting up records. You're just annihilating them.

There's no chance of this shit. And they're not even saying that they're not doing it. It's just the way that it's being done. So I think if they go up against Luca and them The matchup favors in Luca and Kyrie's favor because they have a better one-on-one Style of play and those other guys around Luca know how to play and I still think Boston They still trying to regulate who going to take shots. Who figure they still like, yo, I can be the man. I can be the man.

I can be the man. So you think that's going to be the problem in the finals? You just don't know because it's just been erratic the whole time. It's like you still don't have that championship identity. You don't have the identity. I mean, but they've been sweeping everybody. It's just weird talk. It's weird talk. Who are they playing? I I mean, but they've been sweeping there This is weird. It's weird talk was that who they play mom said they've been sweet with They've only lost two games

What a plan it does not tell them they need to dominate while they're dominating. They're not only they need to dominate They're dominating when about 22 again not down there. They're winning. So it came back and walk their wedding down They're winning they won by 22 in his man're not down. They're winning. They're winning. They won by 22 and this man said, well, it don't look like 22. I'm sure it don't look like 22. Did they sweep Cleveland? No, they won 4-1.

They won, right? The game they lost, they didn't even have any stars. 4-1. The game they lost, they didn't even have any stars. Oh, you're talking about Cavs? Yeah. Right, so that was going to be the same thing just the other day with the Pacers. They would have won if they would have called without a star. 4-1, dog.

Cavs, Pacers, nasty work. 4-1. I mean, that's all that's available. How are you mad at Boston? I'm not mad. I said I'm not mad. I would rather see different. Rather see what?

I won by 22 the first round, 22 again by 50. Win by 50? How did just like I'm not even played a fourth I'm not playing people's beat the fucking Nuggets by one game one game playing in the fourth quarter I'm not playing in the fourth quarter here one game so I misspoke I said Tatum at a playoff career high knows the most this post is I see everybody in the chat he's at 36 two times this postseason. Get off my back. But I want to show y'all something. Y'all talking about Rick Carlisle.

Didn't call the timeout. Let's show the play he drew up with about a second to go in the game. We got the out-of-bounds play. Two seconds remaining. Football style play. Big play. I like that play. Oh, that was a good shot.

So let's run it back and just freeze it at the top for me. Stop. Oh. Oh, that's, oh, yeah. Okay's run it back and just freeze it at the top for me. Stop. Oh, that's, oh yeah. Never mind. Okay, never mind. You don't like it now? I don't know if we said stop.

We wanted to see the lineup. It started to freeze for me if you could, Paolo. Right there. Stop. Some Tecmo Bowlage. Yeah, that's my play on Hey that's That's my play right there

That's that full vertical right there Then we Then we beat y'all ass in the football game too Oh yeah Um Why is That Okay this is bad

The reason this is a bad play is The guy who's on fire is taking the ball out Yes 32 and 9 Huh? 32 points minus 6 in the game Yeah the guy who Who is on fire is taking the ball out

Right so this is when Miles Turner's supposed to take it out. Or I'll put TJ to take it out because TJ can't shoot. He's too small, though. But he still can't shoot. They're going to keep Al on the ball regardless. Yeah, so then I'll go with Miles

or Siakam. And then run that same play. It's not a bad play They got an open shot, but you don't know that I'm hard is the only one really make that shot He's only one who can make that, you know The guy who can make that shot is the guy taking the ball out about you got a guy who can who's floating? But the play itself the play is far not a bad play You got a commotion.

If Nahum was taking that last shot, I think he hit that. Slow down. So McConnell. Nice little rub, TJ. Yep. Because it should have been a switch, but they didn't see it. Yep. Rewind, rewind, rewind. Did he pass?

He should have stopped right there. But it's blocked off. But you got Nebhard trying to throw it in over the over. But the pass is to TJ over the top two. He had two good looks. Either way. Can't be mad at either one of them. So I think that long pass would be hard.

That's a good play if you're down two. Why are you going to the three? That's the problem. Because you need a three. They need a three. Oh, I'm sorry. You're down three. It was a good play.

But your best shooter is taking the ball out of that. That was a good play. It's one of the best plays I've seen. Neb Martin already got a game-winning playoff for us Lakers fans out there. We remember him hitting that three a couple years ago in Staples. I'm just saying you've got a guy who's shown that he can knock down big shots, and you have that man taking the ball out with a 32.9 assist performance. It's just that best shooter shooting the ball

where you've got two guys who don't shoot threes running to the three-point line. I believe that if Indiana wins game two, Holly plays game three. You think he'd come back for game three? Nah. It wasn't game two. Holly plays game three. You think he comes back for game three? Nah. It wasn't game two. No, it was game one where Brown hit the— Yeah, it was game one. They win game one.

Different energy. Different energy, bro. Because, like I said, that play right there is bad defense on Boston. Boston gives that three up. They make it. They go into overtime. They might get this win, right? It's just terrible. Like I'm saying, bro, this is what I'm saying about the domination like championship shit like bro

We'll get them out of here. Don't give them no chance They shouldn't have no chance at the end of the game to tie it up like that We think about drew don't get that fucking stop right there. What happened? We don't know he don't get that stop Yeah, you know because my heart ain't been in that position before you don't get that stuff You got to pull the ball out. Well, I got four dudes back here pull it out Well, just think about like they both was off balance, right? Jews Jews off balance. Oh, he can attack even get a foul right there, right? Then you play so a great free throw

What was it? Why you think he played so aggressive to the ball cuz he knows I can see you don't have nobody back here you we don't Go one on five. Oh for sure But if he's smart enough as a as a real hooper like he would have crossed him when baselines pull up bank shot right there He didn't look like you know, you know, he not thinking he look like an idiot because I'm talking for I got Thomas Gore And think about it was how much of an idiot he looked he got for he hit the ball stolen But what is that you look even more like an idiot? Just make a good move and shoot it now. This is the same thing that T wolf didn't understand

Drew understands Yeah, you're down one and you got a score But there's so much time on a clock that I know you're not going all the way to the basket, right? So because I know you're not going all the way to the basket I'm gonna go for this even if I miss it you turn somebody's back on on defense. Yep, so I know you're not going all the way to the basket, I'm going to go for the steal. Even if I miss it, you turn somebody's backhand on defense. So I know if it breaks down, you have to run a play or try to do something. So with 10 seconds left, you're not going to go try to shoot with 10 seconds left. So let me just try to go for the steal real quick.

And he ended up getting it. Same thing, T-Wolf. They should have just been so aggressive trying to get the ball, knowing that you got to run some time off the clock. Yep. Instead of letting this guy just size you up. You got to get a shot off. That's what I'm thinking in that position.

You cannot turn it over. You have to get a shot off. In that position, it's like, yo, it's better to be more aggressive for the shot and not regulate giving it, like just being in the game down one like that. it's nasty, bro

I don't trust it. I don't trust the Celtics at all That's okay. Yes is my team. That's my expectation for them is so great Did it's like yeah, I'm just just to be in the game like that. Oh, I mean I'm taking a championship row For one for two. Yes, sir They've been sweeping through the... I'm digging a championship, bro. 4-1, 4-2. That's it. I'm playing down to my... Yeah, I'm playing down.

Cool. When I play them, I'm going to play up. What the fuck? Well, let's talk about somebody who's been playing up. Drew Holiday. Taken some heat in recent years for his playoff struggles. Been big for the Celtics this series. Averaging 19.7 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals per game.

Shoots 61% from the field 44% from three also with nine for nine from the line in the series so what is drew holiday showing you in this Eastern Conference Finals sure maturity been here before and this is nothing new I mean and he's playing with a bunch of talented young guys like Jason Tatum and Brown and Al Horford all these guys guys that's been in this situation before. So he's just adding another piece that they need. When situations and things like that do happen, you've got a guy that can defend and make big plays. I mean, he's been doing this since Milwaukee.

He saved Milwaukee. If you don't get that still against Devin Booker, Milwaukee ain't winning it. So, I mean, it was like 15 years in. Yeah, I mean, he's a pro. He's a vet. So he knows, like, what's at stake. What was your question? What is Drew Holiday showing me?

No, no, no. What was your statement? You said Drew Holiday is what? This is the best he's played in the playoffs? No, I said he took a lot of heat in recent years for his playoff struggles. He's averaging 19.7 assists, six rebounds, and two steals. In the playoffs? In this series.

Oh, in this series. Okay. The Eastern Conference Finals. He's just doing his job. He can roam around. But shooting 61% from the field, 44% from the three in this series. Just come in here and be smart. It's easier for him in this series because he don't have the expectation he did in the last series or when he was playing

with Milwaukee. Milwaukee, he had to be a score, right? Versus here, you just get, like, he's not the third option. We don't know what option Drew is in this offense, so he's playing with a lot of freedom versus I have to be dominant. He had to be dominant. That means we're looking at him. We're looking at him more.

This playoff series is one of his worst, averaging 12 points for the series when he was averaging 23, 17, 18 for his career. But there's no demand on him to be great because he has enough offense where he just gets to pick his spots. And that's what he's doing better, right? He's getting to be like, all right, I have an advantage. Let me go ahead and take advantage of it versus I got to push because, you know, the trapping

big fella, let me go ahead and try to give you 25, which was probably messing with him emotionally. So, you know, last year, you know, he averages what? Eighty-some percent? He shoots about 70, high 70s. And last year he shot 69 from the free throw. 69% from the free throw. So, obviously, that's a very big dip from this year, 94. Yeah, I think his biggest challenge is going to be the next series.

No, that's the funny thing. And that's why it's a different series because their two scores is this two team's best defenders, team and Drew, right? So they get to sit there and waste their energy on Luka and Kyrie while Jason Tatum and Brown get to play free. And hopefully, if Brazinga's come back. And then worst case scenario, if Luka's killing you, I'll guard him for some possessions.

But I don't need to waste my energy on him. I let you guys waste your energy, try to tire them out, and then I can come in in the fourth quarter and then try to defend them because I'm saving my energy because they're not defending me. What's the lineup for Boston? Is Horford, Tatum, Brown, White, Drew? Mm-hmm. Starting the lineup, yeah.

So that matchup is going to be Kyrie on Derrick White. Kyrie is going to be on... Derrick White. Yep. Jones is going to be on Tatum. Mm-hmm. No, PJ on Tatum, Jones on Brown. Mm-hmm.

And... Lucas Garden, Drew. Yeah. So they're going to look to put Drew, mismatch Drew on Kyrie so he can post him. That's what I'm looking at. It's gonna be a lot of- That's probably the only one person that Drew won't like, I mean, Kyrie don't wanna post up. He'd rather post up Derrick.

No, I'm saying Drew's gonna post up Ky. That's the only mismatch Drew has in that matchup. Yeah, he's gonna to try to pull something. Everything else, I think, balances out. I think it's solid with Jones and PJ. I think they hold their own. They're going to have to play out

of their minds, which is... Defensively. Yeah, which is fine. You have four games to try. But you're also adding Porzingis back into that mix. He was supposed to come back for game four. I think he's just chilling out knowing that Eight days and that's Gafford won't that match. How much of the Celtics need poor Zingas in the final? Not really

I mean, I mean it's cuz the five you just named this that's all right relax bitch, but we got this Yeah, we're relaxed. You come back. You come back if you need to. If you want to feel part of the championship, come on in. Come on in. Come on in. Bring him off the bench. Bring him off the bench. Let him get some easy buckets.

I mean, if he's ready, we're going to start him so we can blow him out. But, you know, it's not like, I don't believe in this. Either you're going to bring him back and play him, or you're not. But don't do that, oh, you know, he might come back for game three, he might come back in game four, depending on the day. Don't do that. That's some bullshit. Yeah.

Right? Because that doesn't scare the other team. You don't scare me if this motherfucker ain't played all playoffs. You think I think he's going to be ready coming in here about to try to get 20? No. He's going to be too tired. he's going to be ready coming in here about to try to get 20? No. He's going to be too tired. He's going to be gassed. How are we going to run circles around him? So he's not a factor. So if you're going to use him, you need to start him.

You need to play him starting game one. So he can be effective game five and six if he goes that far. But pace is 68 pain points in that game three. Celtics could benefit from a little bit more rim protection. But if that's something you give up, right, because Porzingis is not going to necessarily stop that shit more than just get in foul trouble. Like he's usually,

Porzingis usually gets in foul trouble with that shit. My thing is this, Al Horford's playing good. Like he said, seven threes. Yeah Horford's playing good. Like, he's at 7-3. So, right where they're at, bring Porzingis off the bench. Yeah, ease him into it. Nah, it's that defense. Like, I don't know if people pay attention to his defense. Porzingis plays defense. Like, that play where I said jump up for that, he would have got that. He would have went for that.

Like, he don't care about getting dunked on. He's going for the block. Right? And he's very athletic Right. So the fact that he is back there and likely trying to go he's going to try to catch it out of the air Al Horford is gonna do exactly what Rudy did get his ass dunked on in one Show that how old is he is the oldest youngest dude? I know Al Horford been 37 since 2005. You need to see a birth certificate.

He's just been old for a long time, dawg. I don't know when he came in the league, but he's been old since. Bro, my rookie year I played against Al Horford in playoffs. And he looked old in. And he looked old in, right? Like, damn. Bro, my first... I don't even think he was in the league in 2005, but he was old already.

Bro, he was on that team with Mike Bibby Jamal Crawford in him And now he's still out there soon. They're like same on corner three. Yeah, what is that? You got that good good Dominican blood flowing through his veins keeping him looking. Yeah, every time I see him in the league I'm like he's still he's So so not alone like he came in it about Alan. I said it about the wrong. No, he came in in 2008, but he was old in 2005. Give LeBron credit for being in there for 50 years.

He came in like Greg Oden. This nigga need to retire. Because he ain't doing what LeBron did. I don't want to hear that shit. He's been averaging 8 for the last 30 years. You see LeBron's numbers? You see LeBron's numbers at his age? LeBron's still coming down the lane.

We all old, man. So Ron's still coming down the plate. He's still fucking old. We all old, man. So let's talk about something that happened. In fact, he's 37, though. He's still ticking, dog. That's last week involving Stephen A and Jalen Brown. So during a recent episode of First Take, Stephen A was talking about why some people think Jalen Brown isn't as marketable as he should be and read a message from his source. But I want to read to y'all what an NBA source just sent me.

He said, Jalen Brown, it's not so much that he's underrated. It's that he's just not liked because of his, quote, I am better than you attitude. He knows it. It's the same reason he is not as marketable as he should be. Obviously, the conversation around Jalen Brown, the most underrated NBA star, did not make an all-NBA team this year. But it should be noted that Stephen A. Perk and J. Will went on to praise Brown. Stephen had said he didn't agree with what his source was saying, but he said it nonetheless. So Isaiah Thomas clapped back at Stephen A., tweeting the following. He said, I've been a friend, mentor, and advisor to Jalen Brown since he was a student at UC Berkeley.

He's 100% marketable. And before you slander his name, Stephen A. Smith, tell your source to put their name on it or don't speak on it. Let it be known. Let it be known is my favorite catchphrase in the past couple years. You sound like a teacher. Let it be known. So Stephen A. responded to Zeke shortly after.

He said, I have no idea what you're talking about, Isaiah Thomas. I've been a fan of Jalen Brown for years, still am. What's unfortunate is that you,

who's known me for decades, would choose to go on X. It's Twitter. Motherfucker, you don't get to call shit X to express whatever dissent you feel instead of calling me directly,

but I get it. It's a pattern several folks have used first me recently. Suddenly forgetting communication we've always had, so be it. It's a pattern several folks have used. First, me recently suddenly forgetting communication we've always had, so be it. I root for JB always. Great dude and player, but the Celtics have to close

the deal. Okay. So there's that, but later in the day, Jalen Brown addressed Stephen A's comments as well. Jalen Brown said, state your source. That he's not marketable? What? That he's not marketable? It could Or just that he got a message from a

source? That he's not marketable? It could have been a market company. But saying people don't like him,

that's all good and fine. It could have been a marketing company. But I've heard that before though with Stephen A.

said that like some of the antics that he has, like he thinks he's better than, like I've heard that before.

So that's not good. So that was Jalen Brown's response to that video. So Stephen A. responded back to

him as well saying, I was going to do my Stephen a voice but you know in honor of bill walton i'm gonna keep it classy he said first off that's not happening it's journalism not revealing sources secondly if you continue to watch the segment completely disagree with them as it kendrick perkins the point we were actually discussing is how underappreciated you are and why that may be which is why i read the quote i haven't brought up how socially conscious you are and why that may be, which is why I read the quote. I haven't brought up how socially conscious you are and how that may not be like, knowing you're a good brother, also that you're a $300 million man and you deserve it, but that doesn't mean

naysayers don't get hurt. That comes with the territory. Seems like Therionette doing a little bit of backpedaling, obviously, there. Again, the point is just reading that source, Gil, you can get any source to say anything, but why bring it up in that situation, I guess is just reading that sort of gear you can get Any source to say anything? Why bring it up in that situation? I guess is the question. I don't know. I don't know what the topic was What no topic he made it a topic. Oh, he just

He made it a time When it was a jailer brown underrated Most underrated star in the NBA. Okay, so. Stephen A. Sam, potentially, but here's why. That means he had that quote ready to go. Yeah, he usually knows the topic before he's gonna go on there. So he planned that. Mm-hmm. That was an onslaught.

Mm-hmm. Because Gil would be on his phone sometimes. That was one of these? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a predictable thing, Stephen A. But the question is, is he marketable? Does he have any marketing deals?

I mean, that's the real question. No one's saying he's set or no one. Is he marketable? There's some guys that are just not marketable. We don't know why they're not marketable. If he thinks he's better than everybody, well, Westbrook thinks he's better than everybody, and he's marketable. Right? He gets a lot of stuff. A lot of guys are arrogant

to who they are. Where's Westbrook being marketed at? Westbrook? Fashion? He's in the all-in fashion. I'm asking the question. You said he's very marketable. Where is he being marketed? Fashion. Where do we see commercials with Westbrook? Fashion, Jordan Brand commercial. You keep saying fashion. Fashion, the Jordan brand commercial.

Who? Where? Where? He's had a Jordan brand commercial before. Like he's done all types. But he had one commercial? That doesn't mean you're marketable because you're in a commercial. They need fillers.

In a Jordan brand commercial? Yeah. You have your own Jordan brand commercial? Yeah. People just don't get their own Jordan brand commercial. Hey, man. What? Two-time MVP?

Bro, come on. Is he marketable? Russell Hicks? Yeah. All right, so is Jalen Brown marketable? No. Why not? Well, hold on.

What's the difference between the two? You just made the assessment. You just said they're the same guy. Hold on. I didn't say that. That's what he said. Oh. I don't think they're the same guy.

No, I said I use the same words that he used. Arrogant. I said, well, one is arrogant and arrogant he's marketable so what makes Jalen Brown arrogant I don't know so why would we even put it out there he put it out there and that is say yeah yes yes he did he said he'll be listening bring it back up no he said he's arrogant Stephen a clip again read to y'all what an NBA source just sent me. He said, Jalen Brown, it's not so much that he's underrated. It's that he's just not liked because of his quote, I am better than you attitude. He knows it.

It's the same reason he is not as marketable as he should be. That's being arrogant. That's every single NBA player in yes I'm not yeah, yeah, no no no yes, what's what happened? I'm better than you. That's true. I'm better than you Yeah, but that's how you saying it though. That's how he saying it. No, it's how Jalen is saying he ain't said nothing We don't know you don't know that what you mean we listening to him say it That means a source people around Jalen has no way His notepad, okay, but what he put that shit is no, I'm about to say it's source But what are you what are you disagreeing to I believe that Jalen Brown is marketable

So why isn't he own shit then he plays a for Boston Celtics. He's on TV every day. Maybe he don't want to be on TV. Ah! Maybe that might be the reason of this quote. Because they might be trying to give him things and he's like, fuck that, I don't want it. That doesn't make you not marketable. Yes, it does. That means you're arrogant.

Maybe he's saying his attitude is why people can't work. We don't know. Exactly. But you just answered. But you just said it. Maybe he don't want those things so maybe why would we allude to some shit we don't know that's the point i'm making with steven a if we don't know why would you even put it out there like it's true and you don't know obviously he does know it's true because it's coming from a source that's by him he won't name the source i don't won't name the source. I don't have to. Because it's him. I don't have to. Because the source is him.

I don't have to. If I want to say some shit and say a source is behind it, I can hide behind the source. I'm not telling you my fucking secret. Can you do it one more time? I said what I said. This is more about...

I want to read to y'all what an NBA source just sent me. He said, Jalen Brown, it's not so much that he's underrated, it's that he's just not liked because of his, quote, I am better than you attitude. He knows it. It's the same reason he is not as marketable as he should be.

Okay. Okay. So since this is an NBA source, meaning most likely those little bullshit NBA commercials that they be trying to do for players, little NBA things. Mm-hmm. Right. You play the game. Play the game. That's what you have to do.

He probably, from Berkeley, very educated dude. Arrogant. Too educated. They're arrogant. Yeah. Too educated for NBA standards, right? So, come on. So, he's too educated

for NBA standards so these little things jump and do all this. He doesn't play those games. So, to them, he might be, I'm too better. He is too better for this NBA shit with the education he has. Getting fucking interns from NASA and shit like that. He is better he is too better for this NBA shit with the education he has getting fucking

interns from NASA and shit like that he is way above the shit that they be trying to do so that makes sense on both sides so they might not want to deal with him because how intelligent remember this is the same dude that they say we don't want to draft him because we don't know if he's going to take basketball serious because of his educational level. This is the same fucking sources that didn't want to draft him because he was too smart. So why are we paying attention to what the NBA source says? That's why no one likes me because they think I'm intelligent. I'm too intelligent for the stupid motherfuckers out here.

You're so stupid. That's why a lot of guys don't get a lot of things in the NBA. Because I know you play with guys that you can't tell them nothing. No. They think they know everything. But I don't even think about everything. Wow. But that's what I'm saying.

So both might be true in a sense. It's true that his educational level, he's going to look down on these dudes and you can't of the things that they do right like i'm not going to be in this little commercial that's dumb that's not my brand his brand is way too polished for some of this nba shit that he does that they try to do and that's so it's not that oh he's not marketable underrated it's just he has a higher standard for himself and he is not going gonna bend down for the things that y'all are doing That's all that is my question So you're talking about somebody who's only gonna deal with certain brands and these brands is Birkenstock and shit like that. That's him

These are he is he is he is I want deals with Billion-dollar companies. I'm not gonna do fucking commercials with fucking Taco Bell type shit. Right? I'm not going to sit here with Papa John's and shit. PepsiCo is a billion dollar company. What I'm saying is he is more of a classier type of dude from the way he dress, from all of that. So, yes, to him, I'm pretty sure he's like, yeah, I deal with better shit than this shit. Just like Mellow.

You remember that shit when I think it was at dick sports or somebody tried to do mellow and metal was like good Yeah, yeah, you know we got mad that no I got mad Yeah, we got mad that mellow did this cheap commercial when he's like no no no no nigga You only Rolex automa spittin out your brand and now look at him now look at mellow mellow everywhere right now Yeah, every commercial he doing Dello Yes You are yeah, yeah Eli like I'm Sam from he went from sports didn't get sports Dicks morning us to like doing Who's there I'm at Dixie. I'm Y'all using this word a little bit you love to lose like he's Tom Brady like

Like door caught dicks like Tom Brady the Dix lover. No, I don't I've never been at this But I said those are the type of commercials that I'm doing. Hey, let's go to Dixie get some better Those are kind of the verses that I'm gonna do so principle. I can't yeah, I can't go to Dixon I'm not going to do but he's in he not going to dicks. But he sees better for himself, that's all. That's how I would look at it. I'm wondering why you guys would side with the invisible source. We're not siding with nothing. You're not listening to nothing we're saying.

I just agree. Let me say my piece. Nobody's wrong, though. I know nobody's wrong. The invisible source is saying all this stuff to insinuate something and then a credible source who was also unliked everyone thought he was arrogant and Probably thought he was not marketable Isaiah Thomas

Comes out to vows for him 100% marketable I've known him since college and i don't know what the hell you're talking about but you need to cite this source because we need to tackle this because you it's you're attacking my man's character bro he's he's nothing like what you're saying whoever your source is i can back it i'm'm Isaiah Thomas and and and Isaiah Thomas and I'm backing him. Okay, who's your source? Hey, Stephen a Smith. Yeah, but nobody's wanna hear that but my Argument I'm saying that's bullshit. What are all of it?

All of it. I doubt it. He's marketable. It's crazy. What's hard? All of it. All of it. I doubt it. He's marketable. It's crazy. He's likable. It's crazy that the most... He's a good kid that made $300 million because he's intelligent. That's not...

He went to UC Berkeley. I don't know. He made $300 million. We're not talking about that. He's a guy. Everything you said that this source said is false. We don't... How did... Because of who? He went... Isaiah Thomas. You know what time people go to Cal Berkeley? everything you said that this source said is false we don't had it because of

who he might say it Thomas you know what type of people go to Cal because of Isaiah Thomas no no no no no no no smart you gotta be I know I know I know just because nothing wrong with that you know I'm just saying like what it is what it is arrogance I'm a you walk in the room and you think you're just better than everybody. Damn. So I'm arrogant. So I'm arrogant. Are you?

No. No, you're not arrogant. So I'm arrogant. No. No, I'm arrogant. No, not at all. Not arrogant? Not at all.

Gilbert arrogant? Sometimes. Sometimes. What do you mean sometimes? Sometimes. What the fuck does that mean? Are you arrogant? Sometimes. Sometimes. So you pick and choose when your arrogance cuts on? Yes. Okay. So arrogance means when you walk in and you think you're better than people.

Yes. That's called arrogance. Hell yeah. Without even knowing people. Yeah, that's like somebody coming here. You're saying that Jalen Brown does this. No, we're not saying he does that. So what are we saying?

If you actually listen, because most of the time when we're talking, you already have your mind. You already locked up. Let's hear that so what are we saying if you actually listen because most of the time when we talking you already Have your mind you already like this here We're saying the NBA source which means this is marketing for the NBA He probably doesn't want it doesn't mean you're not You're just making shit up the guy said it was an NBA so he's gotta see doesn't mean NBA marketing It means it could be a fucking ball boy. Then how the... Why would a ball boy...

Why would a ball... Bro, that's somebody from the NBA that's, like, Steven A. Smith ain't been on TV. We won't ever know, will we? Just, how about this? Let's just say it is. We'll never know who the source is. Who cares about the source?

I do. Isaiah Thomas does. Then around us, we want to know who's talking crazy about us. Who cares about the source? I do. Isaiah Thomas does. Jay LeBron does. We want to know who's talking crazy about me. We're saying if it's an NBA source, then it's NBA deals. Right? It can't be an outside source that has to do with marketing, like a marketing company. It's hard to deal with this dude because blah, blah, blah.

So we can cut that out because he's an NBA source. So we can just use NBA type of things. Yes, there's some things that Jalen Brown shouldn't do. Just like there's some things that Curry wouldn't do that any high level. LeBron James wasn't on NBA type commercials. His brand was too big for that. So if someone said, yeah, LeBron James is kind of arrogant on the things he wants to do for the NBA, so he's not marketable.

That would be true. This man is trying to get McDonald's deals, not fucking NBA cares deals. Right? So yes, he would be arrogant for some of the deals that NBA product tries to put you in. Why would that be arrogance rather than just being a smart

businessman? I'm being smart about my brand. I'm not being arrogant. That's what I said already. I said that. But you just said he's arrogant. He's saying he's arrogant. I'm saying why he would be arrogant. Why he would be. I think he's arrogant and I don't care. It's just what it is.

He's a great ass dude. People can be arrogant. That's fine. Be you. He's a great dude. I understand why they say that. Was Kobe arrogant? Yeah. Hell yeah. So what the fuck do I mean people can be arrogant. That's fine being a great dude. I understand what why they said Kobe arrogant Yeah So you're marketable so you can be more so because I'm smart and I paid attention in school Because you're dumb he's a fuck does that make see the problem is he's all you want to be a dummy That's your choice. He's well. Oh, so that make sense? He's- But the problem is he's arguing about- You want to be a dummy? That's your choice. He's- So what- So you're right.

Okay. So what are you arguing about? I can't be arrogant because you want to be a dummy. So what are you arguing about? He's not arrogant. That's what I'm arguing about. If I went to Cal Berkeley, he's not arrogant. I know, damn right. If I went to Cal Berkeley- Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. He's highly intelligent.

Hold on. What is your- He's highly intelligent. He's not arrogant. Because what we're saying is you're... What is your definition of arrogant then? I don't think arrogant exists. I think there's confidence. Okay, so then it's pointless. There's confidence.

Okay. He's a very confident young man who's business savvy. Okay. He understands his brand. And we don't even know if he's turned down deals or none of that. You just... I said stop. Like you're... Stop with the Stephen A. Smith. Just stick to the normal topic. I said... And then I don't even know if he's turned down deals or none of that you just buy

Stopped with the Stephen a Smith just stick to the normal topic Exactly that his brand is too big for the NBA stuff. So we're saying the same thing. You're just stuck on what's the we don't know What NBA stuff is we don't know none of that watch this so we don't have a word for air You don't even know what arrogant is. Oh, you don't even get it's just common Okay, he's very confident and not doing some of the shit. Okay, so we are we asked the chat We're gonna be on the brown marketable nearly 3,000 voters. See two three percent said yes. Yes. Let's move on to mostly Yes, the charity been saying you you just fucking yeah Yes, he's more than this whole time that he is mark. Yes arrogant you just are good because Stephen a sweet little so we can't run the tape back That these guys are set here and said that Jalen Brown is marketable the whole time. Yes. That's what I'm saying. Yes Oh my you just haven't been listening the whole time. I said was I started off as Westbrook marketable, right?

You said yes. Okay. So if he's marketable, then he's marketable. He's arrogant and he gets markets. I mentioned Kobe. He's arrogant. He's marketable. So yes, I went to the Instagram. Not even Instagram. I looked at, so you can see what it's on, right?

Picture, fashionable. Yes, marketable. Marketable type of dude, right? This is the type of dude that won't do NBA stuff though. So he's a marketable. Yes, marketable type of dude, right? This is the type of dude that won't do NBA stuff though. So Right. He's a marketable dude. Yes, so I don't think he's that's why that's why I said so NBA cares type of stuff No one wants to do that. That's what a low-level guys partly who's trying to part of who's trying to be Right local dealers Local deals and ball. Yeah, he's right down it now. He's turning that he Local dealership. You know what I mean? Local deals and ballparks.

He's probably turning down. That's where it's coming from. It's coming from all that. He don't want to do the Dunkin' Donuts. So, yes, he's marketable. He just has a higher standard for the shit he does. I'm not doing Dunkin' Donuts. We're agreeing.

We're agreeing. He's going against it. It's in real time. No, he didn't. You just don't listen, dog. He said he was marketable just like most of us. Y'all playing hot stuff. Y'all trying to figure out who's going to get the bag first.

Let me go first. Let me get the bag. Let me get the bag. It's my bag. He made this bag for me. This is my bag. Y'all both can fit in a bag. So what did he say?

I didn't agree. What did I? Who said? You said he was just as marketable as Russell Russell. I said hell no. And then you said why. Why he's marketable. You just don't listen sometimes.

It's okay. Before we move on to most of the fans. I didn't agree. He was agreeing with you. I wasn't agreeing. Before we move on to most of the fans, in an effort to protect the Gills Arena bag. Dick's Sporting Goods, a fine establishment. Get all your sporting goods from Dick's.

I hope it leaks so you can shoot. I establishment get all your story good news. I hope it leads from your issue Release a number water in the water, you know champagne Chip it don't look goddammit, don't give him that name. Championship Charles, Cemetery Larry. Charles, your lunch is ready. Charles in charge. All right, so our first question is from underdog user BigBag24. Gil, if you were a team owner, what jobs would you give your co-hosts? If you were a team owner, Gil, what jobs would you give your co-hosts?

What a terrible question, man. Give me entertainment in the club. Entertainment? Yep, I want entertainment in all the clubs. Did you give your car what a terrible question? The entertainment and entertainment Yep, I want entertainment and all the clothes you you you an announcer. Thank you. Okay, PA announcer like more cheap Yeah, PA announcer. Are you very good at that? What? HR HR HR Ain't nothing you pass that month Yeah HR brother. No, whatever Whatever complaint you have

We go get to the bottom Circles around sexual harassment claims Did he touch you? You shouldn't touch yourself is it out here you shouldn't touch yourself Time they leave like that is it'd be a claim against the key to me. I don't think it does me at all Yeah, Lexi and I can Can for sure security About the whole thing the whole thing. The whole thing.

He's in charge of security. One man show. Everybody with their red jackets on. You can't give Lexi a girl job. I was about to say a girl job and knowing her, she's going to be like, why can't I get a regular job? There's no such thing as a girl job. Girls are capable of doing any job. She's going to be the mechanic or something.

She's going to be the mechanic. You fix the damn cars. Get your hands dirty. You know what? Since she plays in the WNBA, that means she knows

how to be cheap because they don't give her shit. So we're going to put her in charge of the money and the credit card Hell no. Hell. Yeah, don't get no woman. No credit card. No go go spin No, I'm not no normal one, but one has been beat up by society You can have this 22 you can have this 20 points a game you can paint the same as that one Lexi's been she knows that you're unnecessary Hmm. We're just gonna move on to the next

Our next question is from family average of 20 that average of 22 22 points a game double MVP 200 Crazy our next question from Underdog User, Doc M. Breeze. That's how you say it, right? Breezy. Breezy. It could just be Breeze with two E's, though.

No, I don't know. I'm fucking wrong. Rumors have Sam Cassell as a candidate for the Lakers head coach job. What are your thoughts on him being head coach with JJ as an assistant?

I want to see Sam as a coach because he's been an assistant for a while. He's been an assistant. So he's learned a lot. I mean, I want to see Sam as a coach. I mean, he deserves it. I remember, like, when he first started, I think he, like, you know, he was there in Washington, so he was a good dude. Like, he liked, he loved the assistant role because he got to be one of the players.

He got to talk to the players. So I'm pretty sure over the years, growing, gaining, gaining knowledge, understanding the game, understanding players, I think he's probably mentally ready now to be a head coach. I know when we had him in Washington, he really wanted to be assistant. He wanted that day-to-day with the players. So, you know, we can only see, man. You got to give a person a shot. I mean, they give a lot of people shots.

You got to give a person a shot to see who they really are. Right? Like Phil Jackson was an assistant. He didn't have no fucking experience. Just like Jerry Krause He'd have no fucking experience. Just like Jerry Kraus didn't have no fucking experience in the NBA and he put championship teams together. We give

chances to a lot of people in this world and they do good with it. So we got to give them that chance. Rashad, I see your big hat going from side to side. His big hat was going since Stephen A. Smith. He's still hot about that.

The Lakers coaching job is gonna have the camera on them 100% of the time. Sam needs to go somewhere where the camera's not gonna be on him, on his face, with them glasses. Did you ever see Red Fox in Harlem night? He had to wear them glasses, he you ever see Red Fox in Harlem Night? He had to wear them glasses. He couldn't see shit. Listen, man, you can't put an ugly nigga on camera like that for that long,

that consistent. It does something to the sales. It does something to the what? To the sales. You got to go to Charlotte somewhere where motherfuckers can't see you. You're saying, we're looking in the crowd. Sam was cool. God damn, with goddamn with him and Tony brothers boy You don't get the camera off them niggas boy

Scaring you scare my kids It's carrying the work Scared of profound appears as I dude. He can't see no more. Shit. I'm not. I'm not. He can't see no more, man. We started out as a... I hope Sam do get a chance, though.

He's been in the game for a minute. Yeah, he can be the assistant to JJ. Stay assistant, man. So we started out as a sad day with the news that Bill Walton had passed away. He quickly morphed into an average day on Gil's Arena presented by 100-dollar fans. Someone wrote Smeagol.

Smeagol? He said Smeagol. But Smeagol don't got no glasses. That's why I didn't say Smeagol. It's so unnecessary. It's not, though, man. Chad is horrible. Say I'm a good, self-worthy candidate.

I look forward to seeing him get a head coaching job. If there's anybody out there that understands nobody moves but me and the money. Okay. Okay? So if you move while me and the money moving, it's going to be a problem. Rashad, at the bank

6 a.m. on Memorial Day. Wait, wait. How many wins did you have? A lot. No. How many wins did he have? Four. No, he had six. I don't remember. Yeah, he don't remember. So why do you have the trophy?

Because I won the money. You see? Nobody moves but me. Okay, I know I get the money part, but the trophy? The trophy and the money come together. It's a package deal. Because he won... Remember, I won three...

This is a three-peat championship. No, it can be. can be cuz I won five Six I have six five six. Yeah, you're counting games right? Remember I won Mortal Kombat. I won five games That's how it right. Mm-hmm. You lost the man. I Lost him. Yeah, he lost in golf. Yeah, I only lost twice yesterday Yeah, I won I won four games in Mortal Kombat No, you didn't won three. Here we go See there you go.

Boy you a average no 30 again'm just saying you have 12 points. Oh, yeah, your son didn't play, just gave him the win. Okay, but you said you had six. I have six, so how do you have the trophy? It looks like y'all are going to have to fight for it after the show. I'm just trying to figure out who out there can actually beat me. My buddy's on the shot. Who actually can beat me out there, because ain't nobody in this motherfucker can fucking beat me at all.

No, the problem is you're beating... I'm beating you in golf. See, he's winning... No, no, no. See, the games he's winning, he's winning games that I'm not even in. Think about the games he's winning. I didn't play Call of Duty. He counts us as a win.

That's true. That's like you saying, I scored 60 on Kobe, and he wasn't in the game half the time. No, he was in the game the whole time. But what I'm saying is... He wasn't in the game half the time so you know he was gonna get no time but what I'm saying isn't in the game half the time what I'm saying is you're getting you're getting wins on guys like I didn't play Call of Duty right I didn't play Call of Duty like uh what other game did he he gets wins on that I don't play baseball never played him in baseball

I got like 18 victories last game like what I'm saying is He I haven't put I didn't play them one-on-one in Madden 2k, but he's not playing. He's not playing me. I play golf. No, no what I'm saying is just just group I haven't even played him one-on-one in Madden. 2K. He's not playing me. I ain't played golf.

No, what I'm saying is just group. I haven't played Madden against him. I haven't played 2K against him. He's playing everybody getting wins off of everybody else. Y'all hear how this sounds? I lost two games. This sounds like a nigga begging me not to put him in the motherfucking body bag. Please, man. We have the body bags on the way.

This is why I don't deserve to be in the body bag. Every matchup we had matched up, I beat him. You never beat me. Don't you know that? It's on camera. Shooting competition after the show. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You won one game in Mortal Kombat.

Everyone lost in everything else. Everyone lost. I've only played Mortal Kombat and I'd be there every time I'd be you every time for the city twice for the chip You lost every the other game what games have you beat me in one of them off twice, bro as a group. Okay twice mean What do you mean? I'm the champ and relax You're playing around you're playing Morgan. Think about the last the last. Move around. You're playing Morgan.

Think about the game Saturday. He played Friday. He beat you in two games before I even got there. He counts those. Where was he at? He was hiding. No, I was getting a trophy. But he counts those on his win.

Then he says, I got five wins. You got four. He has two more games than me. Thank you. I didn't think about it until he started counting. Because I'm like yo how you keep getting wins when you're not Even winning turn because he's counting the wins. He's got games. I look I'm counting the money Honey Don't nobody move with me in the money. You can had his fucking trophy. I bought 20 more these motherfuckers
