The NBA officially unveiled the new All-Star Game format Tuesday, but will it be a hit or some bull? I'm just talking about the All-Star Game format. And the Sixers' bad luck continues after losing Jared McCain indefinitely and Embiid for the next few games.

How would you like to do it? Come on. We can space them out. They are part of the bet that we made yesterday. I mean, Monday on Gil's Arena. Yeah, but what? When it was Gil's Arena. What is it, though? When it was Gil's Arena. Boom, boom, boom. Are you going to take them out once?

Drink up. Is it my type of liquor? It's four different liquors. Drink up, swaggy. Hey, listen. How is it four different kinds of three drinks? Why one is dark brown and one is light white. Hey, brother, if you ain't know, we dead either way. We dead. If we don't drink, we dead dead. Honor your wager.

This is our only hope. I should have bet your eyebrows. I'm like the Willie's son. Willie's son. Okay, that's one. Good job. A third of the way there. I don't taste right.

I don't want no problem. The chat is waiting. I'm saying, you gave me a time limit, right? Woo! Go, go, go. And then when he said I had to give him a certain amount of time. Yeah! One more. Hold on! Go, go, go! And then when he said I had to bring him, it was so time limit. Yeah! One more!

Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Get in. Get in. That's my bike pump. It's two. Hey, I have a question. Yes, sir. OK, he owes me a lot of money. No, it doesn't.

No, no. Can I get the debt off? No, this is three different liquors. Y'all's, that doesn't have nothing to do with us. It is. No, I know, but Keen got his own rules. So you got to. And K-Bo said drink up.

These are three different liquors, bro. That's dangerous. It's not like you ain't been down that route before. Doc Rivers. Woo! Hey, man. Come on, man. Get your throat right.

Yeah. Stop. Woo! Yeah! A nigga, man. It is work. Shit tastes different out that flask, don't it? Nah, it ain't.

It's like, ooh. That's like whiskey and tequila together. What the fuck is that? No, it's just three different things. Just brown. That's crazy. Just some brown. All right, well, let's go, baby.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go have a good show. We've been here before. I mess up all the time. This ain't our first rodeo. I mess up all the time. Woo. Let's go let's go let's go have a good show So we've seen reports of the new all-star game format and yesterday those reports became official So here's the most good I want to drink the clear one right Make sure you Irate. Make sure you hydrate. I should have vodka'd. Oh, yeah. A whole cup of vodka's ass.

Here it'd be. So, as I said, yesterday the NBA unveiled their new all-star game format. Here's the most concise version I can give you. It'll be a four-team single elimination tournament. The games will be played up to 40. Three teams of eight all-stars each, and the four team will be the winners of the Rising Stars Challenge. The all-star GMs are Shaq, Chuck, Kenny,

who will each draft their teams, and Candice Parker will GM the Rising Stars squad, which I don't think is fair. Let Candice pick her team, too. Let her get some moving and grooving. She's got to just take the Rising Stars squad. I can't make no alterations or changes. But each player on the winning team wins $125,000.

The runner-ups get $50,000, and the other two teams get $25,000 each. No. See, they don't know... They don't know, like, competition. They don't know, like, $25,000 to $50,000, that's still

money to someone. $50,000 just to sit here? I don't give a fuck about who wins. Zero and zero is a different ballgame. Okay, so 120 Wait, whatever it is all whatever the money count whatever the money for everybody. Just put it all for the winner Yeah, winner gets it all trust me. 200,000 to the winning team, each player. Zero for second and third. What the fuck?

They're second and third. How do they determine who plays the rising star team? I think, I don't know, maybe luck of the draw. Adam Silver will see how much viewership they are currently lacking, what they need to... I don't think that's fair either. Do you get money for the All-Star game? For making the game?

No, I don't think so. No, you get it. It's an honor. It was always winning versus loser. Like, it's an honor. Winning team get like 20,000. And then you get bonuses and you're like, y'all didn't have to do all that.

You get bonuses in like your shoe contract and stuff. The bonuses is from the shoe contract. You get the respect of your fans and your peers, but Kevin Durant was asked about the new All-Star game format recently and had this to say. I hate it. I absolutely hate it.

It's terrible. All-Star game, formats changing, all the formats. It's terrible in my opinion. We should just go back to East-West and just play a game. I think we've been trying to bring that flair back somehow with the All-Star weekend, but I think we just keep it traditional. We'll see how this one works. You never know.

I might be wrong. I'm just another guy with another opinion, but we'll see how it works. Well, KD thought about that potential find. He was going to get from Adam Silver, had to change his tune. It might work. If 40 points, two is in three. He's fine for his opinion. It's terrible. You know how fast. It might work. If 40 points, two is in three. Defining for his opinion is terrible.

You know how fast they're going to get to 40 points? So we got all stars on this couch. So what is the actual format? So there's four teams. So how many players? The 24 All-Stars will be divided into three teams, eight players each. The Rising Stars team, which has eight players,

whoever is the Rising Stars champion, will get pumped up. So the Rising Stars champion, so basically the sophomores. I mean, we'll see. So the sophomores are going to play it. Has any, the rookie team, has any rookie team beat the sophomore team since they started at? No, right? Maybe it has been.

It's tough though. It's tough. Don't they mix them up now? Well, didn't they do USA? We didn't watch. I ain't going to lie. Didn't they do USA? We didn't watch. Didn't they do USA? But I don't know if they won the game. So basically the sophomores, so all the second year players,

versus real All-Stars? Well, I think what, the rising stars 888, if I'm not mistaken as well. So is everybody mixing? It might be, yeah. Oh, so everyone's. So why do they have a rising stars? The rising stars are the 24 rising stars,

and then they got the 24 All-Stars. Did the G-League Elite win it last year, did it? Mm. They did win it. I ain't gonna lie to you, Nick. I was in a different place in life this past Black History Month.

I don't like it. So you think most of the players will hate the new All-Star format like KD does? So you see our hard dudes playing for the 500, right? Put that kind of money in for the All-Star game. Go back to East West, put $250 up. The winners get $250 apiece and go about your business, man. Man.

They're trying to recreate the will. There's more incentives now. Like, you know, back in the 80s, $5,000 was a lot for them. Right? Eventually moved up. That's all it takes. Going was a lot for them. Right? Eventually moved up. That's all it takes. Going straight to the dope house. Right?

You know? You're talking about you pay half a million. You pay, you know, $250,000 for the winner. East versus West and the other team gets zeroed. Trust me. Yeah, you have a competition. From the opening game, I guarantee you. You have a competition.

You have somebody shoot a 50-footer playing around. He's getting cussed out Hands down you think Yogi's gonna be in that mother the door hook from a three-point line in there by black What the fuck is done man? No, we're not doing that or go back to the winning team in the finals. They get home court. Mm-hmm the East versus the West But would you incentivize it even more and make the losing team come out here? I'm like, this doesn't matter. Boston had 60 wins last year, right? And they had to start two games on the road.

Your first two games on the road. I guarantee. But some shit like that. In the finals? Yeah, but if you're one of the trash teams in that conference. I'm going to say it. But if you have all-Star. But you ain't have an All-Star though. But if you have an All-Star from teams who know their...

You got people trying to mess with you, right? Trying to mess with you. Because normally, because normally the team with the best record at the break is usually not the All-Star. At the break? Yes, usually not the... He just didn't have it the year before.

But he has the most All-Stars you say? But he has a team with the best record probably. Your chances of getting to the finals at the All-Star break, just say Boston or Cleveland this year, right? Yeah. If he gets the nod, right, I'm going to play my guys, right? Late in the game, All-Star game, we get this. Hey, shit, we got a chance. Yeah, that's the problem.

Your guys ain't real. All-Star's like that. If we play at, that's the problem. Your guys ain't real. Why we got to do all this? All-stars like that. We playing the end of the game. We got to. Why do we got to do all this? No, but you just put the money up, though. I don't know. Why we got to do anything?

Well, Nick, as you know, the All-Star Game is hot booboo. It's been very unwatchable. But you put the money up to do it. Because the money itself has outweighed the game. You have to always make it make sense for the player. Because no matter how much money guys make a year, you throw an extra $250 in there. Listen, you throw an extra $250,

$250 that you're going to account for, but your account can't say shit? Man. Hey, this ain't got nothing to do with you. That's what I'm saying. We're players and we're telling you. Yes, absolutely What it get us excited?

250,000 right there after the game trust me. God damn it. I will close Like the world Do you want the off the back boy. I miss all that off the back boy shit. You still do it. Nigga be like, it's brain mom. Like, I miss that. Do work. It's like when you throw the live coke off that shit. Y'all seen the World Series of Poker shit, right? The final table where they put the money on the table. On the table.

You put that shit right at half court. With the all-star trophy, with the cash around that motherfucker. The same amount that everybody get. That's a lot. Listen, you see it. You sit there. Man, I'm robbing that bitch. You sit there coming down like this, and then you see that money on the side,

and you was about to chuck this three. Ah! Inside job. You can't have cash on the floor. Huh? Oh, no, no, there's going to be somebody who run and try to get it. Oh, for sure.

You got excitement. You got excitement. There's going to be a robbery at the All-Star game. That is really exciting. It's dangerous. And then make them try to get back to their friends. Yeah, they're going to have to try to get the money and get back to their seat. God damn.

If you can make it through the bay without getting robbed, you get another bonus. Boy, you know how much security will be around that money? I'm going to say that. They're going to be happy. Dogs and SWAT. I'm going to have to get Charles over here. Dogs and SWAT. I'm going to have dogs and SWAT. Dogs and SWAT. I'm going to have to see these brothers.

Dogs and SWAT. The Bears don't care nothing about that. Dogs. What are you talking about? One day. I don't know this tournament. No, this game. Are these games all in one day?

Or are they scoffing at dogs? No, it'll be all in one day. So I think. I can ask you, Mr. Jones. Two teams, two teams. They'll have one game first. The next two teams will play. And then the winner of the game will play in the championship game.

I told you. Okay, you know why no NBA player's gonna respect it? Because it took them a great season. It took them whatever their record is to actually be chosen out of the top 24. Then you got another 24 that's coming in that hasn't earned the stripe of that game. Well, eight of that 24, whoever wins that Rising Stars,

gets to come in and play with those dudes. There's eight players who ain't earned the right. You motherfuckers play on Saturday for a reason. Why they keep doing that? Now you get to play on Sunday with the big boys? That's disrespectful. That's disrespectful to everybody. Yeah. Who's ever played, who's disrespectful. That's disrespectful to everybody. Yeah.

Who's ever played, who's ever been an all-star. You're allowing eight players who your game is Saturday, right? And some of y'all just get on this motherfucker just because there ain't enough of y'all that's being good. Think about the eight, think about the eight rook, or 12 rookies, how many rookies? 12? I think 24 between the rookies.

Okay, now, think about the 12 rookies. This year, that's going to be on the team. One of the motherfuckers averaged six. Because one of them got hurt. I don't give a fuck. That's cold to see the G League against the All-Star. I need to see Bronny doing something All-Star weekend.

No. But that's what I'm saying. Olympics, when you see one somebody that played in I'm brother with the Jacks. They might. He might. Olympics, when you see one somebody that played in the G League, give us 50, you know? G League? Nah, bro. Man, the All-Stars are different, bro. No, you're an All-Star.

That's an honor, bro. I wouldn't want to be an All-Star. No, you have six for the season, and we're playing against each other. I know they're trying to make the All-Star like the play-in type shit, but you can't do that. Then make NBA players. I would be hot. I would be hot if somebody had the six.

I'd rather you just pull more NBA players then. Instead of making, instead of fuck them Saturday kids, just make it 30 or 40 people. NBA players. And then do the same thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's why you need a sophomore. What sophomore is balling right now?

Then it'd be more All-Star. He might be an All-Star. Now go. Next. They're going to work if you're going to play in both games, sir. Now, think about what I'm saying. The only one who's to make up they gonna work if you go play above game sir now the big about what I'm saying We're the only one who's probably and can make the all-star because of voting Wimby who second I say Bronny who's second? Ronnie get the fan vote Now which rookie right now is leading Exactly. I'm trying to think. I can't think about it. You can't. I'm out of my mind.

Now, which rookie right now is leading the rules? He hurt. He hurt right now. Yep, McCain. So he's hurt, so he ain't going to be. But we got the West Side Connect gang, Dr. Connect from the Lakers. West Side Connect gang. How much is he averaging?

I don't know. Do you want to ask the question? Is he relevant? No, how much is he averaging? Who does he play for? No, that is relevant. Exactly. Now you have a sophomore team.

You know Wimby. You don't know nobody else right? Then you have a friend Brandon Miller. Okay, Brandon Miller one or both of the Thompson Okay Yeah, they got a case with that case and Wallace. They got a fine So again, they're not playing well with old Keontae George, but I mean I would have made it though Hi me hot guess go play hard So, again, they got to find 12 of those. Keontae George. But he would have made it, though. Jaime Jaquez. Go play hard.

I'm just saying. So you got 12 of them. The pride of Camarillo. And then you have 12 rookies, and we don't know who's who at this moment in time. And then one of these mixed-up groups of nothing is going to play against some real— Come on, dawg. I know. It's embarrassing.

That's weird. Bronny versus Bron one-on-one. The G League. But Bron got to play with one hand behind his back. They play. They win it last. How you feel about Bronny being in the NBA is how them All-Stars feel about you mixing in with the help. Yeah, that's... Gil, you were three-time All-Star.

Ken, you played an All-Star game. Did you have any pride for your conference in that All-Star game? Did it mean anything to you to represent your comp? So, because KD was saying saying go back to East verse West I'm just be honest with you, bro. They played for y'all. I made Three of them the first one I was happy to be there Really it didn't matter what happened in

the game you saw the video you changed you put me in you put me in okay cool but i don't care you're out there number two i was angry and then i seen four of them get put in before me right so that right there i'm not even thinking that game right I'm just mad I just can't wait for this shit to be over with so I can play them in regular season number three. I Got to start What was that the Vegas one Vegas? Jumping off the trampoline. I was happy to be a starter, right? Right. I was having to be a starter like I'm sorry, like, you know, I mean if game is close, obviously they wasn't putting my ass in.

All right, it's going to be out of the office. What the fuck? What the fuck are they talking about? I don't need to take this shit. I'm serious. Err, Gil, come out. There you go, coach.

Thank you, coach. My own, my own coach was the coach. Gil, err, thank you, coach. What the fuck are you talking about? So we asked the chat. Yeah, I get what you're saying. We asked the chat, do you like the new All-Star format?

76% said the opposite of yes. They said no, they do not. That's weird. Adam Silver just got to ask the people. Adam Silver, you need to come to Gil's arena. Who said that? We're returning back to Gil. Yeah, but who said that was OK?

I want to know the people who said it was OK. What was the process of the decision? Like, what was the voting? They was like, yeah, this is it? Like, this is everybody vote? Shit. He leave and leave. Rookies let the old All-stars. What was the process of the decision? Like, what was the voting? They was like, yeah, this is it? Like, this is everybody vote? Shit. Then the players didn't vote. He leaves and the rookies let the old all-stars vote.

Why they not asking the players what will make them play harder? They listen to the players. Like, you have a committee. You can talk to them. I think, like, Steph and a couple other guys were a part of this conversation. No, they didn't. I think they asked some players for their input on this. No, they listen to Steve.

They probably said, give us money. That's all he said. If you give us money, we'll play hard. Which they are, but this format is weird. Trust me, you know who's going to play hard, right? It's usually going to be Giannis is going to play hard. If Bronzer, he's going to play semi-hard. You need somebody like Kobe to, like,

punk somebody, like, try to get it started. You need somebody to try to get it started. Ant-Man, like, you got to look who's trying to make, who's trying to win this award. Then you got to play to their ego. Then just go Draymond versus Gobert. Right, start doing shit like, like, you got to think with the mental.

Whoever wins the All-Star game this year, the trophy next year is named after them. Then just go Draymond versus Gobert. Right. Start doing shit like, like you gotta think with the mental. Whoever wins the All-Star game this year, the trophy next year is named after them. You would like that? That's hard. That would make you play hard? That's hard on everything. Listen, listen, listen. That's hard.

Think about it. That's hard. You over there, you win the championship this year. Now you win it next year in my name on it too. It's about to be Gills Arena. The Steph Curry award. It's about to be Gills Arena. Like, ah, I'll be big. It's about to be Gills. The Steph Curry award. Like, duh, I'm gonna be.

It's about to be Gilda Arena again. You back. I like it. I like Doc's arena a little bit more. Keep going. I know, because Doc's a. Got a little ring to it. I ain't going to lie.

Got a little ring to it. Turn it up. Turn it up. And shout out. Can we go full real quick? Shout out to our Brad. If you had his voice, it kind of sounds the same. Hey, Gil.

Hey,. Nah, it's a little clearer now. It's a little clearer now. He saw his throat go. kind of sounded the same. Hey, Gil. Hey, Gil. Yeah. Nah, it's a little clearer now. Woof, woof. That is it. It's a little clearer now. He saw his throat go. He went to the doctor. All right, my third one.

Oh, you didn't. Wow. He owe the extra one for that. No. He owe the extra one for cheating. You only took two? Why I took three straight? I just.

Hey, if K. You owe the extra one, bruh. Yeah. If K. You said take three more, get Gil three more. I said your ass was on the timetable. Nah, nah, nah, nah. He didn't say we was both.

We both. We a team. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is a partnership. We individually. Hey, wait, first of all, didn't I go with you at the end? I was like, shit, K'in look like he going to make a drink. I'm on K'in's side.

Look how he looking. He ain't even. I don't remember that. And if K'in don't remember it, I don't remember it either. And he's an honorable man. We don't remember, Gil. Brother Knowledge. He ain't lying.

Brother Knowledge. Brother Knowledge don't care. I wasn't with y' either. And he's an honorable man. We don't remember, Gil. Brother Knowledge. Brother Knowledge. Brother Knowledge don't care. I wasn't with y'all. Remember I said, you on your own, brother. No, I said, this side versus that side. No, no. No, no, no. I thought I switched sides.

I thought I switched sides, brother. You'll never go with Doc. You'll never go with Doc. You better think about it. Think about it. Like that nigga. Now you got to get $500 for a charity and Doc's choosing for that end work. You want to think about it. Think about it. Fuck that nigga. Yep. Now, you got to get $500 to a charity and Doc's choosing for that in work, in particular.

You're right. That's worth $500. Okay. The throat go, Doc Rivers. And it's not because of something he did as a coach. Exquisite coaching. Ain't no damn way a motherfucker average 29 and you look at something and say,

you know what, I'm going to go with this 16 and go there. You just can't tell me you a good coach. Now you see 29 a game, five and five, team fifth, and you be like, you know what? Let me go on and go to someone who's averaging 18. He cool. What he do? He did that to you?

All them son bitches did that. Don't get him started. We need a mediation intervention you and I gotta Know it's him never did that table talk fuck the doc Sound personal get him to the table. Oh no no no for real It's like it's like George Karl, but not really right. You know I mean, it's like this and I sent him a fruit bath So he was in his office. He got a fruit basket.

I'm pretty sure he ate them. No, he said no papayas, dude. And he's like, this is good, but he still voted. He said you didn't put no papayas in there. He still voted for them. It's crazy. They didn't give him shit either. He said it was a bunch of bullshit fruit.

No papaya, no mango, no exotic. Like, I don't really know. No pomegranate. No exotic fruit. A lemon. A bunch of oranges and lemons. I'm living in orange. You can't take what I say about Doc, like, real.

He don't like fruit. I have an agenda. He like that shit. Like, they had an agenda to put the Detroit Pistons in the All-Star game. I got an agenda. You should have sent him an all-meat package. Like, he's been going off for the past couple of days. He could have cleared his throat with sausages and shit. You should have sent them all meat package Turn them off Mr. B. Mr. B. Do we have permission to move to the next man next?

That college to the NBA Cup. Yeah, next, man, next, bro. All right, it is, uh, it is Dr. Reno. Oh, boy, that college hill, boy. All right, come on, man. College hill. All right, and... I'm just saying. Ever since you came back from college hill, boy, you've been different, man. Everybody gay once in a while. All right, man, moving on.

After an extended stay in Sin City finals, the semifinals this weekend, Bucks and Thunder met Tuesday for the second NBA Cup championship. You gave them three shots. It's Hollywood, baby. It's Hollywood, baby. Saucy pizza. Thank you, Lexi.

Thank you, Lexi. Man, that's Topic Thunder. Y'all don't remember this? Thank you, Lexi. The Bucks and Thunder met Tuesday for the second NBA Cup championship. Thunder was still without Chet Holmgren, or Chet Hologram, as he's known in the show when his heels green. And the Bucks were without Chris Middleton, who missed the game due to illness.

Unconfirmed reports he was at the Wynn Buffet, turned up a little too much, eating too much of them shrimp. But it didn't matter because free time was up to the test of taking down the best team in the West So Yannis stuffed the stat sheet against the league's top rated defense Hold on a second. We're moving beverage around here So Yannis had 26 points 19 rebounds 10 dimes 2 steals and 3 blocks in 37 minutes of action and route to joining LeBron James as the only players in league history to win the NBA Cup MVP. Ha!

Giannis is definitely number two on that list of NBA Cup MVP. This is it right here. Dame added 23-4-4, going 6-12 in the field, 5-10 from three. Brook Lopez had 13-9 boards, hitting three of his six three-point attempts. And Gary Trent Jr. and A.J. Green, also known as Derry Bird, shout out Michael Starberry, came off the bench and combined for 22 points. They were 6 for 11 from deep combined. The Thunder struggled to find their rhythm from long range.

Thunder were 1 for 17 from 3 in the first half, finished 5 for 32 from deep for the game. SGA had 21 points on 8 for 24 shooting. He was 2 for 9 from 3. Jalen Williams had 19 points on 8 for 20 shooting. And Isaiah Hartenstein had 16 points for all rebounds going 6-11 from the field, but he scored 14 of his 16 in the first half. Game was close in the first half, but then

the balloon in the second. Bucs went on a 19-5 run, never looked back. Bucs are now 8-0 this season when Thanasis is in the building. Giannis and Thanasis. That's my brother! He lived here! The Bucs are 8-0 with Thanas is in the building. Giannis and Thanasis. That's my brother. He lives here. The Bucks are 8-0 with Thanasis in the building.

Giannis and Thanasis shared a big hug to celebrate the win. And Doc Rivers now has his second career chip as head coach. We don't distinguish between in-season tournament and post-season tournament here in Doc's arena. Two chips, two-time champion, future Hall of Fame head coach, Doc Rivers. Mr. B, it was your arena. You graciously gave it to Doc Rivers in honor of everything he's done

for the 4-1-4, leading these Bucs to victory, despite a tough start to the beginning of the season. What statement did the Bucs make with their NBA Cup championship? We could definitely beat a team over 500. That was the rumblings. That was the rumblings that we couldn't be the team over 500. That was the rumblings. That was the rumblings that we couldn't be the team over 500. So we went ahead and beat the number one team in the West. So there was somebody on this couch who refused to give Doc Rivers and the Bucks credit. Yeah. But prior to this championship game

we asked that someone if they beat the Thunder, number one team in the West, would that shift? Do you think he will... I can't keep a straight face doing this shit. Oh, my God. What? I don't know where I'm at. I'm fucked up. Yeah, that's what happens. Dr. Rita.

That's why it is Dr. Rita. My mama probably watching this, I'm telling you. Your mama ain't watching this. Your mama ain't got YouTube, bro. She ain't got no internet. You talking about my momma on TV? No, I didn't say that. Bro, that's the liquor talking, brother.

You should've waited till, like, half an hour. You had the strawberry cheesecake, like, I don't know. Nah. See, you just said you don't know where you at. Relax, bro. I didn't say nothing about your momma, bro. Relax. Bring him a trash bucket. I think I need to go home.

Sweating. I think I need to go home. Huh? Sweating. I think I need to go home. Bro, you know he got kicked out of your house, bro. You live in the car. Hey, what happened? What's the question? See how far you go? Brother, you didn't hit none of that.

That's the living. What statement did the Bucks make with their NBA Cup championship? That's the living, dog. Don't let them fuck up our relationship, okay? I mean, the statement is that we can beat the top teams. Beat the top teams. And also that, you know, it seems like when Giannis comes into town, teams don't get as physical as they usually do.

Oh, that's fair. Excuse me, Thunder were the number-one ranked defense in the league. Somebody tweeted that. Everybody want to get physical, too. Everybody want to get physical. It's the 34 coming down. Yeah, it's the 34 start down here.

We did see some physicality in that Thunder's Rocket semifinal. Everyone bounces off of him. 34 start down here physicality that's under his rocket semi-final We did see some physicality. Yeah, a lot of Bucks fans in the crowd in Vegas neutral site, but tons of Yannis jerseys Yeah, the Nassus turnt up course odd It seems like Yannis is the only player that is taking advantage of this like overall lack of physicality in the league He's just kind of Bullying everybody like represent absolutely no resistance when he goes down the lane represent for Greco overall lack of physicality in the league. And he's just kind of bullying everybody. There's absolutely no resistance when he goes down the lane. Represent for Greco-Nigerians.

Giannis wanted that $500,000 very bad. $514,000, I believe, to be exact. To be exact. Yeah. Is there an MVP for that game? There's an MVP. It was Giannis Antetokounmpo. He joins LeBron James

as the only NBA Cup MVPs in league history. I mean, the thing is, we didn't just win. We beat their ass. Yeah, that should have been. Actually, I was thinking about making you take six. I know, but I should have taken an extra one. Like, we actually beat their ass. Maybe one extra one for the world.

I was thinking that. Yeah, I think you should. The way they beat them. I'm going to drink that. And that's a team that's number one in the West. That is separate from Canyon and what he wants you to do you know he said we couldn't be i'm gonna drink the rest couldn't be the five over so listen the defense the defense looked great yesterday the defense looked great yesterday um the offensively

that boy was all it still looks the same to me it did it's bad it's bad. That's their problem, right? It's the offense. It's two people. Giannis. Giannis and it's Dame. Everybody else seems like they don't know what's going on in his offense. Upside is Giannis seems to have changed his game a little bit. He's playing mid-range game. He's posting up a little bit. So I like what I'm seeing from him. I like what I game a little bit. He's playing mid-range game. He's posting up a little bit. So I like what I'm seeing from him.

I like what I'm seeing from Dame. Everybody else, I'm sorry. A.J. Green? What? A.J. Green? Dirty Bird? The white boy that come off his suit? Dirty Bird.

He's a great... He had a great night. Remember... No, he always has a good night. Y'all had 97 points. Y'all had 97 points. I know. But they only gave up 81.

You know what I'm saying? The defense is good, but the defense has never been the problem. The offense has been the problem. Their offense, like scoring points in today's game has been the problem. Like they've slowed the game down so much that it's really hard for them to compete every day in when you got a team that's out there hitting buckets. Like you had a, like, this team went what? Four for what?

They were five for 32 from three. Five for 32, right? Exquisite defense. Right? Okay, see? Yeah, yeah. You know, unless you have those type of shooting slumps, right, other than that, it's hard for Bucs to score.

It's like their offense is just not it. They won. I mean, we got two players. I mean, we got two players. We got two players in the top five schools. I mean, they'll figure it out. They don't have enough movement when them guys going to work. Like, when Dame getting ready, he and his pick and roll,

there need to be some weak side action for one. That's nice. So, the play when Jalen Williams stole the ball from Giannis on the free throw line, Giannis faced him up right in the middle of the paint. He was getting ready to do his thing. And everybody was just right there. Did nobody cut? Did nobody?

So he's trying to go into his thing. He ended up having a turnover. He stole the ball from him. The dude's got to cut, set a flare screen, cut, dive. You can replace yourself. You don't think they tell him that? I can't even. I don't go to the corner a lot.

I can't even. But you're not watching enough film and slowing it down in real time. Like, hey, when it's like this, Jameis has the ball here. Somebody has to cut. We need a flare, a dive, a cut simultaneously to get all the eyes off of him. Because he had the ball.

Man on him, and there was boxes in the elbow. Like, boxes. Boxes in the elbow. They literally. Like, I can't blame Giannis for it that Player you have to be a basketball player to understand. That's what I was gonna say Like I seen Prince a little bit this pair dive a couple times, but you remember what I was talking about Vando Let a bit shooter so he shouldn't be the one to die. Remember? Yeah, you're right

Vando yo cut dive you don't shoot the ball from the three So we're just standing for and then eventually you start diving same thing with this players that just need to cut Nobody's paying attention to me cut get a layup like Once people start like my man is sitting there doing this now He can drive a little bit more you guys need to make it easier a Milwaukee and like the top five Threes I think Torian Prince are leading the league if he's leading bill go percent was ball Yes, Jerry bird also getting buggy Yeah yesterday, but dirty bird dirty bird. He's the very current so when you got Brooke Lopez out there he

No, no, no, no, no, he's ready what he do, but he takes up so much space, right? He's not fast He's not gonna cut so it like his man That's why he gets so many shots so many threes because man is always Making help position only out there with him. Giannis Giannis trying to iso and things like that. But no, the way they defended yesterday, the way they competed, hopefully they learned something from it. Mr. B, our resident Bucs expert,

what are your thoughts on the Bucs' offense right now and what can they do to improve it? We were on playback last night for our watch party. You made some similar comments about the stagnation with the offense. I mean, no, it's definitely static. We definitely need some ball movement from side to side a couple times. We usually just come down and just set a screen for Dame and then just figure it out.

Or if it's Giannis, it's his turn, just figure it out. But like you said, we've got to get some movement too. I mean, yeah, we played great yesterday. I mean, defense was great. But, you know, we've got Cleveland coming up next big game. But their number one option, Donovan Mitchell? Huh? You can't even say they played great.

They shot 42% from the field. Right. Winning basketball. Yeah, but they played great because of defense, though. Like, that's their defense, but, like, 42 from the field, 42 from three. Like, 81 from three. 81 to 97. They played good.

They played good. Thunder were threatening. They played overall great. Yeah. Overall, they didn't shoot it well. Two people. No, Dirty Bird. That's why I think, okay. They made, like, Garrett Tripp made timely shots.

Yeah. He beat, right? He made timely shots. He didn't score the last game. So, an overall, if you grade this game, okay, we didn't shoot the ball well, but we did great things enough to get us an A for the game. Ken, like you say, we, you've come over to the bus. I'm talking about no, no, no.

Yeah, yeah. Come on, Ken. Come on over, Ken. Come on over. Ken, come on over. I'm talking like the OKC. I'm not including myself, even though I got a Bucs jersey at the career court.

OKC ain't ready. OKC not ready. They ain't ready. No, no, no. What is that? OKC, was that a D performance? They not ready. No, no, no.

When the night was right, he ain't ready. They're a D performance. D minus, almost a F. Which means Bucs was a C plus at best. No. They wasn't playing A basketball yesterday. What was your takeaway from the NBA Cup championship? I think they settled for too many outside shots.

Who was they? OKC. Even though I think they shot under their average for per game. But, like, the way the shots that they were taking, they were out of rhythm, They didn't make sense. And they just looked tired. They looked defeated. I think that was just their youth

coming into play. But I don't know. I'm still not worried about OKC moving forward. Still not worried about that? No, based on this performance, I think they're going to be fine. I don't think they're going to come now, but after watching them under the lights, under a team like the Bucks,

I don't think they're going to come out of the West, though. Mm. Shout the ball on them. Hey, man. Kill them. I'm going to just say it. Kill them. Hey, all you new coaches, y'all stupid. Thank you. Thankall... Kill him.

Y'all stupid. Thank you. Thank you. Kill him. Every single one of you. OKC, you... Coach, you... Listen, y'all are doing a fabulous job. And X's and O's... Cool. The game of basketball is more than X's and O's.

And when it comes to just understanding the game, the gray area, you're stupid at it because Giannis had three fouls at the top of the fucking third quarter, the top of the second quarter, and he finished with three fouls. They cheated for him, though.

He finished with three fouls. You're not talking about a James Harden guy who, if you're coming at me, I'm about to foul now. You're talking about a guy who's going to try to block every shot. He's going to try to play defense. And you literally let him finish the game with three fouls. There's no way in fucking hell if Jordan was playing, if Kobe was playing, if Shaquille O'Neal was playing this game, if Duncan

was playing this game, shit, if Steve Nash was in, if Jay King was in, there's a the best player on the opposite team has three fouls at the top of the fucking second quarter, and they do not target him. He would have been, the next second quarter, and they do not target him.

He would have been the next. Fuck the rest of the game. The next 10 minutes would have been fucking Sikianis because we know already. If we get a fourth foul, he has to sit the rest. If we get him a fourth foul in this quarter, guess what the third quarter going to look like? Same thing. Same thing. Same thing because if he gets a fifth in that quarter, God damn it, we don't have to worry about him

until the last five minutes of the fourth. They settled. Right? They settled. They settled. No, no, no. They had opportunity. When he dove on Dort back.

That was crazy. They cheated, to be honest. That was crazy. He's a golden child. But what I'm saying is, you didn't even give him somebody's... And then they scored right after. While they were shooting it three times. But that was the fourth. I put it under there. He's a golden child. But what I'm saying is you didn't even give him somebody. He picked up the peg and then they scored right after. But that was the fourth quarter. Don't do that.

They cheat for Giannis. No, they have five points in five seconds. They don't do that for Giannis. That's the fourth quarter, though. That changed the game. In the same quarter, remember I was saying it. Play harder. If I got the ball and you jump on top of my hand and take the ball.

Play harder. It don't matter if that's the fourth quarter. I don't give a fuck about it. You got to be a dog. That was ball. Play harder. It don't matter. That's the fourth quarter. I don't give a fuck about that. That was third. No, that was the fourth. That was? That was the fourth? That's how you got to be playing, like that.

Oh. But even when Giannis went under the dude's feet when they shot the three, ain't that a normal tech? They don't kick him out the game. They don't do that to Giannis. They save. That's a NBA call. We definitely going to seek him out.

Right? Right? Think about it. You're going to seek him out. There's going to be poke. We're going to. I don't do that to Giannis. They saved. That's a NBA call. We definitely going to seek him out. Right? Think about it. You're going to seek him out. There's going to be... We're going to... Where he at? We're going to do pick and roll. We're going to put him in his action

because either you're going to play defense or you're going to let me score. It's entertainment. At this moment in time, you are the easiest person to score on. Easy, but they're not about to inject Giannis in this championship game. They're not about to. It don't matter.

It don't matter if they don't call the foul on that. That's a clear foul. If you don't call it, they're not calling it. I'm not talking about the foul. We're talking about the top of the third quarter. He already got his third. That means we're going to give, if I got to give a 15 points trying to take

a charge on this motherfucker, because this 15 points actually what's the name of the rest of the 15 points actually was to name the rest of the game. It put structure in the rest of the game. When Shaq got his second foul, the third foul, man, I'm trying to take charges. Full court, this motherfucker running. I'm sitting here. I'm going to put my body in the line because once he's out of the game, we don't have to worry about his offense no more.

We ain't got to worry about his motherfucker's defense no more. Oh, you got to worry about Trenton Price. Now, I'm sitting here with big shot Bob, but you ain't big shot Well, you got to do this shit by yourself, right? You got it. Oh, Derek Fisher and shit like that You got Cole but for the most part you don't have to worry about ducking in and like the deepest becomes regular again You don't have to worry about Yannis driving. You don't have to worry about Yannis in the defense. It'd be That's where the education of basketball is not there

I be seeing it all the time like how do you let this man go through the whole It's like a quarter with no fat like it's all the players and it's on the coaches to more though No, you gotta be aggressive. This is not the plan back. That was what they out there playing back I'd be pro when you program the shit. Why do you wish it that we'll be on the bench? Hey, man, He got three guys He got three That motherfucker got three dog Not on a bitch no more

What bet they got they got this there's 40 out of the plane They got the Wu take like you got the players like this and then they got a bunch of whole ex players back there with the computers on The only thing they looking at is you know, okay. No, no, no, no when you see 30 people do this They looking at the camera They looking at the film to see if they should challenge them motherfuckers so excited to challenge shit that they not even say Oh shit, he got three fouls. He got three fouls fouls. Come on. Make it know the guy behind the bench.

You know, you looking at the camera when you're not going to say nothing? If I'm a player. You got to say something. Hey, coach. Yeah. You got to say something. Hey, he got three. There's always that one player, right?

It'd be like, who got this? He got three. He got three. Who got three? Y'all just got three. So who do you put that on? For 10 minutes of the first, like, if you even took a jump shot. Who do you put that on then?

Everybody. The whole team. Everybody. Yeah, the coaches behind the bench, too. They should be the main ones yelling. They got good coaches. They should. What the hell are they doing?

700 of them. Our offensive would have looked so bad. Yep. Trying to get him his football. Trying to get him his football. Trying to. He would have had to guard somebody. Who's the foreman? Who's the foreman over there? It don't matter. He would have been so bad. Yep. Trying to get him and start a foul. Trying to get him and start a foul. Trying to. He would've had to guard somebody. Who's the foreman?

Who's the foreman over there? It don't matter. He would've been the host. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. S.J. Get him on a swing. I'm kidding.

Shake, pick and roll, sit down with the bombs. One thing for sure, two things for certain. Uh-uh. Put him in a pose. I've been in that situation. Everybody's been in that situation

when you got... Get him around the basket, whoever you got. Hard to put him on. Pump fake, pump fake. Jump into him. Everybody's been in that situation when they got him. Get him around the basket. Whoever you got. Hard to put him. Pump fake. Yep. Jump into him. He's been in that situation when they got two fouls and don't want to get sucked out. They don't want to get.

And what happened? You ain't playing no defense. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Whatever you put him in the post. Put him close to the basket. Keep him in the close side. Don't foul. Don't foul.

They're not foul. They're not foul. Top of the third. Are you coming out? So he top of the second quarter with three fouls and he finishes the game with three fouls. That's crazy. That's tough. I think that's on us too. So the game with three fouls. That's crazy. That's tough. I think that's on us, too.

So we're not teaching kids that. That's on the coach. That's what he said. The coaching staff, man. But it's still a coaching staff. You have to understand. There's like... Our generation, too, though.

If y'all say it's players on the side, we're not teaching these younglings to go at somebody with three fouls. It's like when they tell them you got a foul when you're up three and somebody in the other team, you know, when they tell you to foul so they can shoot the same thing. It's like... But you know, listen, I remember we were in the fast break. It's when we it's the very

next game after we scored 60 on Kobe. So the game in Washington. Karan Butler. It's like at the beginning of the game. Karan Butler's like foul stopped the play, right? Like, good shit, Key, good shit, Caron. Kobe walked over to him and said, that was the dumbest foul I've ever seen in my life.

He said, you just wasted a foul on him, and you know you got to guard me. You need all six of yours. Mm. Yeah. For sure. And he's sitting there like... Yeah, that's true. You're right. You're gonna need all six against this motherfucker.

For sure, right? Right, but that's the, like, think about the mindset where he said, yo, you wasted a foul stopping two points, and you gotta guard me. You wasted a dumb foul. Like, people process this game very different. Maybe he don't wanna guard that night. Maybe he don't wanna guard that night. He Maybe he don't want to guard that night. He don't want to hit you with a pump fake every move?

What you think Kobe did very next play down? Pump fake, pump fake. That's what I'm saying. Maybe he don't want to play that night. I'm going to get you your second. You don't get the fuck out of here. All right. Ah.

Ah. Ah. Ah. Pass it. Give it back. Ah. Ah. Ah.

Oh, so you're not going to jump? Ah. Okay, fuck it. Right? Because once you get your second, you got to sit down, sir. I ain't got to see you until the end of the second quarter. This is a chess game. Before the game, Doc Rivers had a three-word message for his Bucs squad.

Together we win. Gil, you were clowning Doc as usual during our watch party on playback where we were joined by legend of winning Swaggy P and Mr. B. Said the Bucs had no chance of winning together in the first quarter before getting crashed out on them by Mr. B, legendary fashion. Really appreciate it and enjoyed that. But what happened? I wasn't listening to you.

My wife said, just go home. Your wife? Just go home. You were clowning Doc and the Bucks in the first quarter, said they had no chance to win the game. They went on to win the second-hardest NBA Cup championship in league history. Oh, Nick. You don't need to be there no more.

Gil, are you ready to put some respect on Doc Rivers' name? Hey, man, look. God damn it. God damn it. Come on, Doc. You had nothing to do with this. You didn't even know what was going on. Don't I got to prove that?

I can turn the TV off. It is your TV. I know. I got the app right here, goddamn. I can push off. And you've left it on out of respect for Glenn Dye Rivers. I told you. Two-time champion head coach, future Hall of Famer.

It's coaching style. None of that got to do. It ain't got nothing to do with shit. All right? Well, it is a championship level. 2005, 2006. That's it. That's all. got nothing to do with shit. All right? Well, it is a championship level personal. 2005, 2006. That's it.

That's all. Honorable man. My mind is jaded, okay? It's a bunch of them. No, I get it. So every time your name come up, you just... Yeah, just trigger some shit. Like, fuck that. Yeah, yeah.

We're going to talk about another player with a situation. Give him another name, and then I'm like, oh, yeah, you know, the motherfuckers over there that have been walking walking they doing all right 25 I play for the whole they're just name of mr. 25 Tom oh, yeah, oh glen doc river. I know that motherfucker right there coaching Boston Celtics voted for Detroit Pistons. Oh, yeah See us rivers is rant on his podcast? What did he say? About the guys who are?

You don't watch Austin. We are, I mean, we are very busy doing. I just saw it on Instagram. Gills Arena presented by I know who. He was just mad at people who get mad. Anybody in particular, anybody on this couch? Hey, girl, what happened? Woody said that.

I was about to tell y'all. I scrolled by it, but I don't know what he said. He was just mad at people who be like talking shit to him that have never played basketball before. And he went, it was long. Oh, it was. He was mad. Oh. He's always mad about something.

Well, you know. But he was right, but. He was right. So he was right. He was right, but I thought he was funny. He's a big white skin guy. He ain't gonna lie. We have things to be mad about.

You remember he was going at the football player? You know. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie, dog. He was going back and forth with the football player, right? Yeah. And I hit his page. That's a nice car. Man, that's a nice car, too.

Hey, what kind of car is that? Had to Google it. Three minute car. Damn! I'm thinking about the... I was about to DM the football player. Hey, man, stay out of this battle. This motherfucker balling. Damn. I was about to DM the football player. Hey, man, stay out of this battle. This motherfucker balling. He richer than you. Hey, man, he got the ace card

with the double joker joker in the spade. This man, Austin Rivers, got some shit up his sleeve right here. Stay out of this. He living a whole nother life. You might appreciate this. We asked the chat, does Gil need to respect Doc? They said no, right?

56% said no. You don't need to respect your chat. Your chat controls this. Fuck you motherfuckers over there. Man, that was Dave Chappelle shit. Fuck you motherfuckers over there. Stop. Stop.

You're scaring me. Brother P. Brother P. Stop. Man, your girl texted me and said, can you tell Nick to go home? Shit, that's my cue. Nick, we need you. We need you. We need you.

We can hydrate Nick, please. Get him an IV and some water. I don't feel good. We also got to show some love to Darvin Hamm. Stop it. Yes, sir. Got to show some love to Bucks assistant coach Darvin Hamm, Torian Prince. Both improved to 14-0

in NBA Cup play to become back-to-back in-season tournament champs. Shot for D. Hamm. So, Bucks locker room was full of champagne, beer, goggles, or gargles, depending on how you pronounce it, for a post-chip celebration. But according to Chris Haynes, Doc Rivers said

after talking with Coach Hamm and his championship experience with the Lakers last season, Bucs opted not to celebrate by popping bottles, instead focusing on the remainder of the season. Mr. B, right approach for Bucs not to celebrate their NBA Cup chip? That's the right approach. That's so funny.

We've spent all that time sitting there all afternoon. Wasted all that champagne. That's the right approach because, you know, we still got the season. So, yeah, we won the in-season tournament. Not fazed by it? You know, we got a lot more work to do. Y'all popped champagne last year? Hell yeah.

Yeah, you know that. That's what happened. Hell yeah. That's what happened, right? Yeah, that's why D-Ham said... Celebrate, motherfucker. They're not going to hang a banner, you think? All season mold.

Uh-huh. Season's still going on. They're not going to hang a banner then either, huh? Nothing like that. No, they're going to hang a banner. Yeah, we will. Yeah, we will. Oh, they're going to...

We will. It's Milwaukee. They're going to hang a banner. So you can't celebrate, but you can hang a banner? What'd you say? No, I'm just saying it's Milwaukee. They're going to hang a banner. Yeah, we will. Yeah, we will. Oh, they're going to. We will. It's Milwaukee. They're going to be in a banner. So you can't celebrate, but you can hang a banner? What'd you say? No, I'm just saying it's Milwaukee. They're going to hang a banner. I mean, y'all couldn't wait.

Y'all was rushing to put that shit up there. Y'all damn near had a whole parade and everything. We did. Y'all said, we just got some beer. We're going to go on back, go to Cleveland, and get ready for them. When are they next game? Oh, Friday, I believe. Do they stay in Vegas after?

I think they got Friday. Oh, man, we got Cleveland. We got another big game coming. We ain't celebrating. Y'all going from Vegas to Cleveland? Mm. That is. I man, we got Cleveland. We got another big game coming. We ain't celebrating. Y'all going from Vegas to Cleveland? Mm. That is...

I mean, that's right. Torture. Yeah, Friday, they'll be in Cleveland. It's Friday. Bruh. It's Friday. They play Tuesday. Yeah.

We gotta win. We gotta win. Tuesday. That is torture. We gotta get him like this one time. I bet three shots on that game. What? Which one?

Cleveland versus Bucs. No, no bet it, because he put him in. He's mush. Listen. Yo, he's mush. Three and a half. No. What? He's mush.

So you remember Bronco put him in the bag. He bad luck. I got the Bucs winning for sure. Whoever he bet on. Yo, where's that game at? Milwaukee, Cleveland. It's real. It's real.

Bron ain't walking through that door. Whoever Nick bet on. Their number one option, Donovan Mitchell is walking through through that door along with the rest of that crew. Yeah Yeah, three shots, right? That's fine, whatever the opposite Anything Nick better on bed Adidas sends me shoes. They sent me a pair of the new Donovan Mitchell So I feel obligated to support as you got my name's on Not you, you lit.

I'm lit right now. You got the name zone. You got the name zone. And you got the 34 jersey on. You paid me at the Green Streams in the joint, didn't you? I know. I was going to. I was taking too long.

You taking too long? Yeah. So for those with that. You got kids. Hey, man, lace these up. You already had that jersey? Damn. Huh?

You already had it. You got to use them. Yeah. That's. Gil. So. You got to use them. So.

You got to. See, that's the new, your mom laying in bed, that dad asked him to get the remote and that motherfucker right there. You got to. It's that. That's that one. Hey, man, lace these up. But I gotta do homework.

Man, lace these up. The homework ain't going nowhere. Yeah, for sure. Right? You got to. Shit like that. Give me a fork. So for those who were back in the last night.

You in the kitchen. You in the kitchen drawer right there. Give me a spoon, man. God, what you say? So for those with bad memories, Lakers won the NBA Cup last year. Did they? Proceeded to get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs in the toughest gentlemen's sweep in NBA history.

Could have went either way, King. You know, you were watching. Could have went either way. Mr. B, how much confidence do you have in this Bucs squad for the remainder of the season? And what seed should the Bucs be by the All-Star break in February to give you some pre-match? Wait, why the fuck are we still on the Bucs? Because this is Doc's day. This is what we had to do last year. We all won.

You right. I was like, damn, it's been a fucking hour already. Hour and 30 minutes. We still talking about these things. 33 minutes. You ain't been here an hour. Right An hour and 30 minutes. We still talking about these things. Now you know how we felt last year. You ain't been here an hour. Right. You were late.

You were late. Let me shut the fuck up. Buck's currently fifth. Shot! Me and Nick need a shot. What? Yes, bring Nick another shot. Yeah!

Shot o'clock! He lost by 15. Can I talk about my damn bucks? Crash out, Mr. B. Yes, you can. Crash out. This is your arena. Can I talk about my damn bucks? Yes, you can. This is your arena. Can I talk about my damn bucks?

Yes, you may. Listen, we got a lot more work to do, all right? Chris Middleton's still not there yet. He's getting back to it. You know what I'm saying? We got to figure out what we're going to do with that. I think we need to play 30 bird more. Giannis and Dane, they're going to keep doing what they do.

I don't care about none of this, I mean, because y'all are quiet. Um, but yeah, man, we need to figure out what Chris Wilson is gonna do, and then, you know, we got to go from there. Ken, what did you have to say? So, what happened? You want to, um, like, halfway, so let's,

I take you, like, to get local sushi instead of no boo, like, this call it a bet right now? Like, I take you to, um, like, halfway, so let's... I take it, like, to get local sushi instead of no boo, like, let's call it a bet right now? Like, I take it to, like... All right, so you can cash out your agreement with Kanye right now and get local sushi with the janky crap. Wait, what was the bet? What was the bet? Yeah, what was your bet? Nah.

I'd rather have some oxtails. Ooh. Tell him. You wish he was standing. He's standing ten tons. So you want your own plate? You want your own tray? See, that's easy. My own tray. All right,. So you want your own plate? You want your own tray? See, that's easy. My own tray.

All right, well, see that? See, we... Not to be psychic, but I have a feeling Oxtails will be in the arena within 24 hours. Yeah, so we got... Yeah, so see that? See, that's easy. So we're having something tomorrow, so that's no. We will have Oxtails in the arena tomorrow.

No, no, no, no. Maybe like... Yeah, maybe like Christmas Eve or something like I get my own pot. Oh, he want his own pot of Oxtails. Like, report Christmas. Well, it was noble. It was it was to see like if who finished higher Billy goes the works. Obviously we've been to finish What do you mean obviously we're gonna finish higher I know you want to jump in right Is it obvious what do I win when the Boston Celtics finish one again?

I think we can return to Lexi. This ain't about Boston right now. They can just stop the rest of the season. They're still going to be in first. Can we take a shot to Doc Rivers and the Bucs right here? Can I get a shot? If they finish one, can I have a shot? Lexi got to get hers too.

You got to be hers, too. Hey, yo, I think the Bucks... You got to be irresponsible at some point. I mean, the way it's going, I mean, I think the Bucks can get to four. She said not here. Not here. They're fifth right now. They can jump to four.

See, I can't take the oxtail bit because my wife make them. That ain't something I make. I know, but... But I can't... She ain't got nothing to do with this. You could project... No, that's not...

Just like AKA. But she ain't got nothing to do with this. That's the best shit ever. Baby, I said... She ain I got nothing to do with this you could project She gonna do it this I Could put some on the smoker for you and I can do it that way but what about the hot link he make Talking I can do you some bar girl Campbell good. I can do you some barbecue Yes, barbecue. I'm just and then give him a bunch of hot links. He wants to suck it. Oh, I ain't giving him shit. What is this? Yeah, he likes something.

I've been drinking vodka so far, but we'll drink it. To Doc Rivers, y'all. To Doc Rivers. To Doc Rivers and the Walkie Bucks. Thank y'all. All right, I'm going to put it aside. Doc Rivers. Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee Bucks.

Here we go. Go Celtics. I'm going to eat a sandwich. The Milwaukee Bucks play the Lakers 3-13 in Milwaukee. We're going. Oh, Lord. We have Chick-fil-A on the way today. Sponsored by Underdog Fantasy, too.

You guys know that, right? Shout out to the Wright family, our local Chick-fil-A owners, for blessing us always with glorious catering. I had to wash it down or something. Did you get any? Did you make it? Yo, but did you get it? Nah. It seemed like you, out of my periphery, it seemed like you missed. It hit the couch.

I was like, damn, that shit was streaming down his arm. I'm like, it's his first day with them. New prosthetic. On the subject of Darvin Ham, former Lakers head coach, was fired up. This show gonna get out of control today. He was fired? I got you. From the Lakers, dude. Oh.

So Darvin Ham has some interesting quotes on his time with the Lakers via Anscaped. Let's put the quote on the board. Said, to do as well as I did, I swear to God, anywhere else I'm probably looking at an extension with what I did. I'm not talking, anywhere else I'm probably looking at an extension with what I did. I'm not talking about feelings. I'm talking about actual facts.

They go from not making it to the playoffs to the Final Four in the NBA, the conference finals, and then you win the in-season tournament, navigate through all the injuries, and win both of your play-in games to get to the playoffs. People always talk about us losing to Denver, but they never talk about how we got to Denver. We beat a kick-ass young squad in Memphis, and we beat Golden State. Gil, does Darvin Ham have a point? Yep.

Let me look. Darvin Ham was the best coach. I want to spend Gil's money. He won 33. Is he a better coach than J.J. Reddick? Yes. He won 33. Yes.

And then the next year. He's been at it longer, yes. 43, 47. Darvin went through the ringer. He's been at it longer, yes. 43, 47. Darvin went through the ring. He wasn't bad. He went through the ring. I mean, he was an assistant for years. With Boothoser.

He experienced good coaching with Boothoser, dog. For sure, but. So he earned his stripes. He only get a bad reason because I feel like he wasn't the person we wanted. No, he shouldn't have never been the Lakers' job. Yeah, he shouldn't have never been the Lakers' job. Yeah, he shouldn't have never been the Lakers' job. He should have got a job. He was better for a younger team.

Darvin. Like Portland? Darvin is. Portland, Brooklyn, shit like that. Darvin Saginaw. Yeah. Michigan, right? Yeah.

Built a certain way. We built a certain Darvin to take no shit from nobody, right? You can tell by the knots on his head. Yeah, he has the knot on his head to prove it. Yeah, hell yeah. But my thing is, you would have been better for a younger team. Yeah. Whoever at the time.

Yeah, yeah. I'm saying, but a younger team and not with such a high-profile name to it as the Lakers, right? For sure. But you got to take that job, though. Stay out of the Knicks job. Because his look didn't fit it. You wouldn't take it if they wouldn't give it to you? No, not at all.

His look didn't fit it. No, not at all. Not even for your resume not at all I'm not fucking fired in two years. I didn't look Like they still has I mean they said I mean what's the final? No, no, it's look don't fit the Lakers. I just don't Listen, yeah, is it a great job? Yes, that's on your head It's a... Is it a great job? Yes. You can have knots on your head being a freshman. Is it a great job?

Yes. I'm not saying that... TV time. To be a head coach in the NBA, you can't... I forgot knots and shit. Not capitalize on opportunities. You can't be the head dude

with knots on your head in front of everybody. Nick, shut up. You got one more time. Say it one more time. That's it. I'm listening. Darvin is watching.

One more time. I want you to know that. One more time. Darvin Hammond is watching this show. Not that job. No, he's more of a look for like Memphis. Okay. Right.

If I'm him, I'm looking at the totality of the whole situation. Right. Who came before me, right? How long did they last? What successes they have, right? Mm-hmm. Frank Vogel won the championship. He did.

You're right, yeah. Two years, Jack. Damn, hit him with the jack. Yeah. So you got to look at that, right? No matter what success I have at this particular job, I'm on a short leash. How many coaches have the Lakers had?

You're not even... What's so funny is... It'll last like 10 years. What he says is... Since 2000... Since 2011, 12, he's won the second most games

in Laker... Who? Garvin. With 47. The only team that played better was the championship Lakers. Was that the bubble championship team? Yeah, the 52 wins. Other than that, Darvin Ham had 47 wins last year when he got fired.

It's the most that they had in 12 years. It doesn't make sense. So his argument is 43 and 47. The 43, they went to the Eastern Conference or the Western Conference finals, and then they lost the first round, but they lost the first round to the same team. To the same team. It's a bad matchup. You're losing to a three-time MVP.

And it's a bad matchup for us. Yes. So it's not like he's not failing. It's like whoever ran up against goddamn Jordan. Yep, same story. Who ran up against the Lakers in the 80s, the Bird in the 80s. So just imagine if that was how them dudes job, like them coaching job was predicated. Like we lost to Jordan the last two years.

Oh shit, fire. Right? Just imagine we lost to the Lakers in the last two years. Just imagine that shit. Jarrett Sloan would have been out of that motherfucker. Yes. Right? Oh you can't beat the Bulls?

Can't beat Jordan. No one can. Right, Oh, you can't beat the Bulls? No. K.A.B. Jordan. No one can. Nobody can beat the motherfuckers, right? Better than Memphis? I mean, than Minnesota last year? So, I mean, okay, so JJ's this year right now is better than Darvin's first year

percentage-wise right now. That's up high. Right now, so it's... But that team still went to the Western Conference Finals, though. Yes, absolutely. And this team has the trajectory to do that So nobody that team went to the Western Conference, but if you're look if you're talking about totality of coaches

No, he shouldn't have been fired. Yeah, but he has a job that So therefore there's no there's no there's no record that keeps you safe to my place point. It's a feeling on whoever's there. To my point, right? Like I said, so many people was talking when y'all was over and having y'all fucking chit-chat session. You got to really consider at the time, turn the job down. It's tough. Turn that money down.

It's tough. It's tough. Because being a head coach, yes. Great. Absolutely. Does he get another opportunity? Because of that. Be a head coach. No. Do you get a head coaching

job if you turn that down? Yes. Do you? Your name comes back up, absolutely, because of the reasons why you turn that down. You just don't. There are legitimate reasons why. How I am, the way I coach, the Lakers as this,

I want to be a head coach in this NBA for a long time. Mm-hmm. Me taking the Lakers job doesn't say that. Mm-mm. You don't think he's got another job? My name is not Phil Jackson. You don't think he'll get another job? I think so. I hope so, yes. Do I think so? I think so. I think he could get the Milwaukee job if he wanted. Yep. Yep. I think right... Yep, I think after Doc... Okay. Okay.

As long as he's sticking out with Doc and Doc step away in three years, two years, whatever it is, and they successful under this weight, I can see that. Yeah. As much as I play with Darmanham, I think he could get another job for sure. For sure.

For sure. I think he could get a job after this season, even if he don't... Nah, it's tough, bro. I don't know, after this season, but maybe like two more years, maybe. You know what's funny? You know what's funny? He didn't do nothing wrong, though. Out of the last... He didn't do nothing wrong, though. Okay. But he played for the Lakers.

He... And he's winning. He was... Should I say it? What? Black. Black. Like, let's stop it Opportunities don't come around that often and ball do do that not so nice when they do But even with the knots he could get another job I think Cuz everybody got another job after the lake who from Luke Walton

The dude that won the bubble championship color skin He like the real thing Mike Brown Kings The only person who didn't get another job. How long did Mike Brown last for the Lakers? I don't need another job How long did Mike Brown last for the Los Angeles? I mean, yeah, oh two years One year one year How long did Mike Brown last for the Los Angeles Lakers? A year. Oh, two years. Some people can't handle LA, Kenny. You know that. Oh, no. One year. One year.

One year. It was like a half a year. That one and four star, get your ass about it. Yeah, it was one and nine. How? It says one and four. What was his record? That what?

That Tony came for him? It says one and four. Come on, man. Then bigger side, four and one. And then they switched him for Mike D'Antoni. Come on, man. I know that, but I know that. Okay, I'm just going to be honest with you.

That job. Yeah. Like, you got... To get another one. Like, he did nothing wrong. He did good. He actually... He did well.

Yeah. He did well as head coach. Yes. The problem is it's... I hope he does. Yeah. It's your star. It's Brian.

Brian and Brian. It's your star player, right? I don't know. We're just going to be honest. Your star player is probably more smarter than you. Right? And the fact that your star player is smarter than you, that's a hard job to have.

Like, you literally have to talk to LeBron's ego. Like, I got to talk to his basketball. For him to accept you, it's not like talking to some genius. For him to just be like, oh, okay. You have to outsmart him. Perhaps do a podcast with him, even. But you have to talk. But you have to outsmart him. Perhaps do a podcast with him even.

But you have to talk. But what I'm saying, but you have to out-talk. But you have to out-talk. But why is JJ smarter than Darman? Sitting there having a conversation with him. So that means something that JJ was saying resonated with... Man, you know...

It's just like art. No, you know what you're talking about. Do you know what the back... Hold on. Do you know... To your point, I hear you, yes, you know, they're talking about you know, the best. Oh, no Well, do you know that so to your point? I hear you. Yes. I understand what you're saying You know the basketball conversation that JJ Redick is having with LeBron. It's a coach K conversation. Yeah. Yeah, right. Mm-hmm Just imagine it. He was ever for you. He spent a lot of time. I could say to Star player did a lot with I think it's that conversation a lot of time with Coach K. He liked Coach K, too. Star player, did a lot with... I think it's that conversation. We spent a lot of time with him.

It's the off-camera conversations. What the fuck? I mean, what the fuck Coach K got to do with the NBA? It's a conversation. It's a basketball conversation. You ever talk to... Coach K ain't got shit to do with the NBA. Hold on, hold on.

Have you ever talked to somebody who's actually smart, book smart? Yeah. It's hard to have a conversation with them. Y'all talk to me every week. If you can't talk the same language with them, they don't respect what you're saying. They think you're an idiot.

Yeah. Same thing with some basketball minds. Michael Jordan, right? Kobe Bryant. Think about when he had Rudy T. He wasn't trying to hear shit Rudy T had to say. He had Phil Jackson first. So Phil Jackson talking to him, that means he didn't respect Rudy T had to say, he had Phil Jackson first. So Phil Jackson talking to him,

that means he did respect Rudy T's voice because what he has in his brain don't make sense. When Mike Brown came there, that shit don't make sense to me. When Rudy, when Dan Tant, Dan Tony came, that shit don't, what the fuck are you talking about? Where's Phil at? Bring me back Phil.

Okay, okay, Phil makes sense. Right? Like, that's where LeBron is. LeBron's basketball IQ is so high, if you don't speak the same lingo as him, he's not listening to you. But that's doom from the start. You know he won't.

Yeah, no, it's doom from the start. But what I'm saying is you have to play to something he knows. So that means if you want the job, you got to sit there and say, all right. And then you have to memorize shit. It's like a test. So is it, don't they talk to LeBron before they hire coaches? You?

Who? They talk to LeBron before they hire the coach? We don't understand. You guys are chewing on shit. Well, they did. That's how they go to JJ. You have to go as a coach. You have to go talk to LeBron.

We don't understand what you're saying, you're chewing this shit. So before they cook him.. We don't understand what you're saying. You're chewing and shit. So before they cook the ham. Huh? We still don't swallow. I had a little bad for my hand. No, but when you look at J.J. Redick, right? Look at J.J. Look at their conversation, right?

When they're having and talking about swing ball and this and this. You can see it's matching what LeBron was taught as a player. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We are lying together. Right? You listen to a coach. Like, come on, we've all been there. We've been in locker rooms where

the coach sounds smart than the bitch. And we've been in some locker rooms where we're looking at each other, who the fuck is, when the fuck is he gonna get fun? This nigga dumb How about that listen I'm about to her doc for doc is doctor But you've been in locker rooms where your coach sounds great, and then he sounds dumb I think that's the same thing with JJ Redick not probably not to him

But what I mean talk you're talking. What is JJ Redick doing for LeBron right now in his career? It's a conversation. I mean, the conversation about what at this point in my career? But it's still a conversation. Okay, like the Blake dude, right? Blake. That coach. The overseas coach.

Do you know what his record was? He got fired. You know what his record was when he got fired? You know what his record was when he got fired? That was number one, right? Because them two, I don't know what he's talking about over here, man. Is he speaking English? Like, give me that clipboard. Get out of here.

Where Tyrone Lou at? Right? That's because he has a rapport with this guy. Like, we're talking the same language. For you to speak to certain players as a coach, you have to understand what makes them tick as a player. So you don't think they would have won that championship if they would have kept that coach? Who's?

Blake. David Blatt. They would have won the championship. Of course, probably. So what's the problem? He didn't speak the same language as LeBron James. But the language is to win the championship, of course, probably. So what's the problem? He didn't speak the same language as LeBron James. Yeah, but the language is to win the championship, right? Well, he's still got a ring.

Do you sound like you know what you're doing? Obviously, if we're number one. And this is my first year over here. I got the best player on the planet. I got the best player on the planet. Right, so it should be harder. But you have a genius sitting here in, like, basketball terms. Like, the hardest people to coach in history so far would have been Michael Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Shaquille O'Neal.

Think about the ego of these persons being. You have to be able to, like, the game itself is the game, but you have to make sure they know you are who you are. You know how we challenge everything. So you have to be able to sustain your, like a teacher. I'm not, my name don't ring with none of them dudes that he mentioned. But you line us up, and we have, as far as basketball IQ,

I might be biased in this, but I think I'm one of the smartest basketball players I've fucking been around, bro. So you think when coaches throw that uncoachable term out, it's because they feel challenged? Yes, absolutely. And threatened by that particular player's IQ and them always asking them questions I think when coaches throw that uncoachable term out, it's because they feel challenged. Yes, absolutely, absolutely. And threatened by that particular player's IQ and them always asking them questions.

Because what makes someone uncoachable? Because when people call, like, really talented players uncoachable, like, I'm just like, how do I call them that? Does that guy just want to do it their way? Because they don't know how to speak to that player's talent. So they have this way way of coaching and it's this way and then this element came in as challenging everything that they've ever thought about like a like a t like a teacher right you're a teacher for a reason right wasn't you wasn't that

smart to be anything better but a teacher and then then you will have this 14, 15 year old who's actually smarter than you. Right? IQ just left like he's smarter than you. And that scares you as a teacher. And him challenging you on these principles

of what you've been taught your whole life makes you say, oh, this kid is, I don't want him in my class anymore. Because you can't, you can't deal with,

his IQ is just higher. I'm sorry, you were 1,200, this fucker's just 1,600. That doesn't do anything to you. He's just fucking a brilliant kid. You should be trying

to have a conversation with him so you can see how he thinks. But most coaches don't want anything to you. He's just fucking a brilliant kid. You should be trying to have a conversation with him so you can see how he thinks. But most coaches don't want to do that. So what's the difference between Kobe and Phil? Because Kobe didn't like Phil. No. Like him. I mean, they wasn't speaking the same... He didn't have to like him. He respected that basketball.

I mean, they wasn't speaking the same language. At first. At first, when he first got there, he was trying to get him to buy in to, you're still going to get your shots, but let's do it this way. Right. So it was this. Right. So Kobe bought in and got five rings.

Why couldn't LeBron buy in with Blake? No, no, no. So there's a difference is, yeah, Phil Jackson, who coached who? That's right, Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan. Who does Kobe respect? He don't respect Phil Jackson. He respects Michael Jordan, right?

And this is the guy who coached Michael Jordan to these rings. So when Kobe's sitting there listening to him talking, all he's thinking about is Jordanordan trusted him so i must trust him the greatest man my idol trusts this man to six championships six finals then therefore i have to trust him so what's the difference between blake and frank frank david black i mean i mean And Frank. Frank who? David Black, you say? I mean, yeah. Yeah, Black. Not that. Who knows? I mean, because he trusted Frank enough.

We don't. But that's what I'm saying. We don't know. Who? We don't know what the conversation is. We don't know what the practice is. They were locked up together. Right.

We don't know what practice. They were stuck in the.. They were locked up together. They was in the bar. They were locked up together. They didn't have no choice. They did a bid in.. They did a bid in Orlando together, dog.

I can tell you this. They won 52 games, won a championship. Next year, lost first round. Fire. With A.D. getting hurt in that playoff. So he ain't liking that motherfucker much. A.D. got hurt. So A.D. had to hand me... He didn't like him that much.

You won a championship. Woo! I just... I didn't like him that much. You won a championship. Whoo! I just... I don't know. I just feel like if you're not... If you stop firing all these coaches, you might have had five rings. If you stick with the plan. It ain't... So, my thing is...

So, we always talk about superstars of teams and organizations, how much control they have, right, over these situations? Do we? Do we? I forgot he was in there. Forgotten? Yo, bro. Bruh man from the back room.

I forgot he was in there, bro. Making a sandwich. Hey, baby. Wipe my face. Do we think Bron could have ordeal, like could have interjected himself more in those decisions? And has he? Like do we think he has control over that? Or has he said things like, I prefer this guy and and to the the masses like they think we like

players have more control than they do in these situations what if he had spoke up right now I want this guy publicly how would that I'm gonna go and say I believe he has control of most of the coaches he's dealing with. Here's why. When he gets to Miami, they start off 8-8. There's no way LeBron was sitting there looking at Spoh and saying, this is the coach that's going to lead us to the championship. The only thing that rejects that thought process is who? Big Daddy.

Right? Upstairs. Big Daddy. Nah. He's staying the coach. He's the guy I believe in. Right? You're talking about Pat Rileyiley is over no no no i'm not coming down i know you think i'm coming down like i did for duane wade no he's your coach i trust him so you're gonna have to trust him you're gonna have to buy in

to this and that's those are the elements. Giannis is probably having the same shit. Listen, Giannis, when you look at the game and you hear him talk, he's dealing with the same thing. He's trying to find somebody who mentally has the same idea as him. And when there's not a lining up, I don't give a fuck about if we won, I don't give a fuck about where we,

if there's not a line up, we don't have the same vision, then you're not, I don't give a fuck about if we won. I don't give a fuck about where we... If it's not a line-up, we don't have the same vision, then you're not... I can't coexist with you. And when you start seeing coaches leave, it's the ideal of, oh, he's not tapping in until... He's not on the same alignment as that star player. You don't feel like they like that right now, though?

Like he bought into Doc's? You don't think so? Don't bought now, though? Like, he bought into Doc's? I don't know. You don't think so? Don't bought into him. Somebody bought into somebody. They look very different. They look better. The energy's different. Like, damn all this ball movement shit, Doc, you talking about.

Hey, 34 like to get downhill. Giannis is speaking differently about the team. Like, it don't look miserable. Hey, Shitty, I'm not trying to hear shit you got going on. I didn't shoot you. I'm... You just relied on me. All right, no, this is coming into the conversation that we've been having.

How long you been in there? 10, 10, 15 minutes? Like, we thought you left, right? We thought you left. I was trying to, I was trying to. I know, we thought you left. I told your girl, hey, he about to head home. Come on over.

What girl? What girl? I'm sorry, I didn't say that. Hello. Let me... Stop it. See? Sorry. Getting Come on over. What's up, little girl? What's up? I'm sorry. I didn't say that. Hello. Let me... See? Getting out of line. He's still here.

So... No, but we... You just ain't gonna jump into this conversation. Like, you just a part of it. Watch out. So we asked the chat, would LeBron have more rings if he kept the same coach? 56% said no. But let's keep this thing moving.

After dropping 32 points, eight rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals in the semifinals win over the Rockets Saturday, SGA had 21 in the championship game, tied for its second lowest point total this season. And the Internet did what the Internet does, letting the jokes fly at SGA's expense. Here is one that we saw. Little D-Lo.

You said, show your big nose. No, that's it. Little D-Lo. You said, show your big nose. You know that face. Little D-Lo. It's Little D-Lo. No. I can't verify the veracity of the tweet, but it was funny. No, I'm just saying. I want to sit in for you.

Not too much on that. It's Little D-Lo. So they dropped this in our playback watch party chat. Little D-Lo. All the NBA players. Little D-Low. All the NBA players. Little D-Low. But quickly, what did OKC's NBA Cup performance show us about SGA and the Thunder Sparks? I don't know.

Nothing. They had an all game. I don't know. Whatever he did, did he actually get with any. It just shows me that they're not ready for the big show yet. Is it just that or is it when they're going up against a championship coach in Dodgers? Chip. Stop. Yeah that they're not ready for the big for the big show yet Well, is it just that or is it when they're going up against a championship coach and I should stop Yeah, they're not ready a visionary Throat extraordinary

Well, they'd have check yeah, no, but cheers Ain't none of my cup. You gotta wait. Oh, we gotta wait. We gotta wait All right, no, no chat, but the the Bucks didn't have Chris Middleton not saying that's a one-for-one Hey, cheers. Ain't nothing in my cup. You got to wait. We got to wait. We got to wait. All right, go. No chat, but the Bucs didn't have Chris Middleton. I'm not saying that's a one-for-one, but just, you know, I mean, Bucs were not at full strength. Thunder obviously not at full strength. I got tears, man.

They not sure. Oh, wait. Chris Middleton didn't play? He had the fluke. Chris Middleton didn't play. Oh, man. So would an OKC NBA Cup performance show us about SGA and this Thunder squad? I mean, the NBA Cup replicated a playoff atmosphere to a certain extent. It was in Vegas, obviously.

Questionable fans? Neutral. Bunch of gambling. I think a lot of plants in there with various jerseys. I'm not going to lie, dog. Listen, I'm going to give Bucks the credit. Of course, you got to. Right?

You have to. It was weird. It was very weird that this was an OKC home game, but everything in the arena was Bucs. Bucs announcers, Bucs cheerleaders, Bucs dunk squad. Everybody they put on a camera, Bucs. Because they had the home team. No, there was the road team. They was undefeated in the Cup, so they probably was the home team. And they paid for the Bucs entertainment to come out there.

They paid for the Bucs entertainment to come out there. I'm saying the Thunder had a loss in the Cup. Yeah, Bucs, I think Bucs was the highest. Bucs was the home team. Bucs was the highest. The RC. But that's not how mutual sites work. Oh, they said the Bucs, oh, no, they said the Buc... But that's not how mutual sites work. Oh, they said the Bucks...

Oh, no, they said the Bucks entertainment team was running the whole Vegas thing. Yeah, they were running Vegas. So the whole time. So you knew they was gonna win from the start. It just seemed a little... But that's neither here nor there. What they got?

I know, neither here nor there, they won. They got their win. That's interesting. They only gave up 81 points, man. 81 points. Like, the defense was... Very impressive. Magnifico was Magnifico

All right shots don't look my way Here's cookies after that looking at shot. I think I'm crazy. You a quitter. I done said this my fifth one. Yeah, y'all think I'm crazy. This my fifth one, man. Y'all must be on dope or dog food. I got to drive. I'm on dope and dog food. Oh, you're very nice. I know that. Go.

I'm sitting there like, dude, dude, dude. You better ask your mother. He's like, take a nap. What do you mean take a nap?

Hey, so I saw a comedian, right? I'm going to sleep with three other motherfuckers full. Hey, so I saw a comedian that said, so don't nobody tell us. So don't nobody give nobody no warning signs, right? Our generation of people, they don't have specials like that, but they had them when we was in. So after they let you out of society, ain't nobody put no sign on you and warned you. Nobody that that person was in

special aid. They just let them out of society. They just behave as normal fucking people. Right? They should come with warning signs. Right? They should... We just don't look at the signs. You should have to tell me that you

sat in one class all day. Or You should have to tell me that you, that you sat in one class all day. Or they should have some type of, like, badge or something. Yes. Something on them that says... Yeah, I sat in one class. Let's keep this thing moving. I'm here to actually have a sign say I'm stressed.

We can't get canceled because he wasn't persuaded. You can't get canceled if it is it.

What are you talking about? I was in the class with like five people in here. Steve said, whoa. Whoa, hold on. There was five of them, bro. Special Ed got two. His brother. The five heartbeats.

Nah, my brother. See, see, now. Now I got to fight. Your brother was right. Hey, bro. I said you didn't defend me. Now we got to fight. All right, let's get to moving. Hey, Steve. See now Victor's got some more bad news recently as well Joelle and being a Jeremy Kane suffered in their losses Friday

So McCain will be out indefinitely after suffering a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee He underwent surgery Tuesday and prior to the injury the 16th overall pick in this year's draft was averaging 15 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, 23 games, including 8 starts, shooting 46% from the field, 38% from 3. And in his second game back after missing the previous 7 games while dealing with knee swelling, former MVP Embiid, we got the video. This is an unfortunate one. He just bad luck. You mean this bell ain't for me? He got bad luck. So let's take a look. He just bad luck. You mean this bill ain't for me? He got bad luck. So let's take a look.

Embiid got hit in the face by Benedict Matherin. Suffered a sinus fraction. What the fuck is a sinus fraction? It was Embiid's third facial fracture in his career. Goddamn. And joins a long list of various injuries that have plagued him throughout his time in the league. So Embiid has played in just six games this season. He's averaging 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists.

Not the face. But that's not the real story. So during a recent episode of First Take, Stephen A. Smith had this to say about Embiid. Let me say this to Joel Embiid in all seriousness. My brother,

you're about a tad bit away from being compared to Ben Simmons. Wow. It's starting to look that bad. Now, let me tell you something right now. You bring up the injuries and all of that stuff. I look at the disinterest on his face.

And that was before it got cracked. Okay? I look at the disinterest, the lack of enthusiasm, whatever. Now, we can talk about his injuries and fair enough, right? But here's the problem. You were injured last year. You only played 39 games. In the playoffs, obviously you got bounced in the first round by the New York Knicks.

You didn't look that way in the Olympics. Looked pretty damn happy. Looked pretty damn happy playing in the Olympics, okay? And then inexplicably, you ain't ready to go come this season, alright? And I'm looking at that, and I got this list of injuries here just so y'all know. Sinus fracture.

Foot, knee, health protocols, back, hand, face, ankle, shoulder, calf, hip, elbow, ribs, injury management. That is why I was against your assertion

to sit him down because I'm going like this. He's always hurt. This brother will get hurt going to the bathroom. I got to use him when I got to use him because I never know.

Just because you don't play him don't mean he ain't going to show up hurt. Evidenced by him playing in the Olympics. I gotta use him when I gotta use him. Because I never know. Just because you don't play him don't mean he ain't gonna show up hurt. Evidenced by him playing in the Olympics looking just fine. And then two months later when the season starts, there's nothing. He's injured and it's like, what the hell happened? Gil and Nick showing a lack of ability

to handle their beverages. Gil can't hold his water. But we heard what Stephen A. Smith said. He said that Embiid looked disinterested even before his face got cracked. I think that Ben Simmons' comparison is... Yeah, but reaction to Stephen A. Smith saying Embiid is close to being compared to Ben Simmons, you think that's a little... I don't think that's accurate. That's a little... Accurate, that's a I don't think that's accurate. That's a little... That's a little...

Accurate. That's a stretch. No. Ben Simmons wasn't an MVP. That was a fluke. I mean, let's start just there. He also is very dominant when he is healthy. Very dominant.

So, I mean, yes, what Stephen A was saying was valid, is true, but the dig... I mean, obviously, Ben Simmons caught us. I don't think he needed to even bring Ben Simmons into the conversation. You know, he's inflammatory, Stephen A. Speaking of Stephen A. Smith, several weeks ago, he said he would be pulling up to Gil's Arena in a couple weeks.

He thought we forgot, right? He had some scheduled things. He was less than an hour flight away on Spirit. He thought we forgot. All week. Did not pull up to the arena, Stephen A. I mean, well, if you're not available, then what are you? Just trade him, then. If you don up to the arena, Stephen. I mean, well, if you're not available, then what are you?

Just trade them, then. If you don't want them, trade them. If y'all don't want Embiid, I know some teams that will be happy to take them. Who want them? Us, Lakers. Trash. Next. Somebody else.

We got Christian Wood. We got D-Lo. Whatever you want for Embiid. We got people that can come over and make an impact for the Sixers right away. Whatever you want for MB. I mean, but they started off hurt. I mean, Paul George is hurt. Like, it's kind of...

Is it the trainer, though? Because everybody get hurt there. I mean, it feels like a lot of freak injuries. It feels like a lot of bad luck in MB's case. Is it bad karma? But McCain just got there. Is it what they doing? It got to be what they doing or something. You should see the sexy shit I got there. Is it what they doing? It gotta be what they doing or something.

You should see this sexy shit I got on. Oh my god. Lord help her. Take the picture. Lord help her. Mike. Mike. I just don't know what Billy, what is Billy gonna do?

He's gonna say, bar ass. Bar guy, they said, yeah, whatever. They down for whatever. Nice. It's a nice fucking fist. Big fucking eyes. Said they down for whatever. They said they down for whatever.

This nigga ugly on picture. What was he talking about? He told me to take a picture. He told me to take a picture. He said he's ugly on picture. What was he talking about? You told me to take a picture. I didn't tell you to take a picture of me. What's up with me? You said he was ugly on picture. You know what I was talking about.

See, that's what I'm saying. See, you get drunk and want to be high. Oh, I thought you said take a picture. You know what I'm saying. We're getting close to that point. I got to put a filter on him. I know the question. Woo!

Reaction to Stephen A. Smith saying that being close to being competitive. Yeah, so with these two fools. Yeah, throwing Ben Simmons in there for no reason, I don't agree with. Like, Ben Simmons ain't got nothing to do with this. He minding his business? Minding his goddamn business, trying to do what he do, man. Trying to do what he do. What, the 18th, 10th fastest point guard in the league?

Whatever George Fernandez said. People don't ask to get hurt. It's a part of sports. We know that. He just, it's unfortunate, man. Like, he just, time after time after time after time. Something different every time. Something different every time. Something different every time.

But... And it's hard to ignore the production when he's on the floor. It's... You can't ignore it. You can't not put it into the equation. That's my plan. So, it's... It's a double-edged sword. But somebody else just got hurt. Is it something that he wants, Kelly? You want him to play? So it's...

It's a double-edged sword. But somebody else just got hurt. You want him to play? You definitely want him to play, but when he does... It's... You can only think, like, shit, what's next? So they should just scrap the season and just get ready for the draft? I think so. Should they fire the trainer?

I think they have enough to compete without Embiid, right? I ain't saying they're going to... Yeah, yeah, right, right, right. I hear you. It is the Easter time. I'm saying with a healthy Paul George, with a healthy Tyrese Maxey, with a healthy KJ Martin... Still make some noise in this.

They ain't going to be healthy, though. The new big three. The new big three. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, just let him get right, right? Let's not rush him back. Let's not, the facial frown, whatever it is, let's not. Yeah, they said on Miss Alisa, the next couple of games

will be evaluated in a week. That was. But it's not doing the team, the overall psyche for our team. It's not helping us. Because we still under this thing, this notion that he's not going to play back-to-back. So two of the next four months, we've got 17 games, five sets of back-to-backs in those months. So you've got to think, there's 10 games he's not playing off the top right now. Heaven forbid his knees swell up and he gets swelled,

and he got to get it drained. So all of these things are real. Like, these are real NBA problems and things that's so... You really have to consider for just this season... Yeah. Get healthy, big fella. Get right. Let's develop what we have over here.

Let's let these guys play, and we'll reevaluate it in April. So when you look at the sinus fracture, bad luck play. Matherin just smacked him on the face. But would that now give his knee a little bit of time? Is there a blessing in disguise with that 10, 11, 12, two weeks that he gets off that at least we can get that knee back? So a sinus fracture, I've never had one. I broke my nose before. I broke my fucking nose, so I at least we saw a sinus fracture. I've never had one I broke my nose before I had to know it might broke my fucking nose

So I don't know what a sign does that inhibit your breathing does that fuck what you're breathing? He already not in the best shape because he's missed so much time. Yeah, so does that affect your breath? So you got to think about all of these factors with that. That's your nose So yeah, you get his knee time the apps, but that ain't doing nothing for his cardio, his time. So all these things are real. We're heading into, so this is the end of December. You're in the basement right now. Has he been dominant?

Yes. But you really have to be honest at this point right now on what this season is going to look like. Ain't it frustrating to keep being in, like, rehab that do different things? But you can't rehab that. I know, but I'm just saying. But yes.

Over the past year, he's feel like he's always... I know, I'm asking the question. Like, always doing that. It just hasn't taken any real time to get it together. Like, you got to be in there with the trainer doing shit, because I ain't going to do shit now doing this, so I know how it feel when you're... How long ago did I say they should have just scrapped the season?

I was a couple weeks ago, if I'm not mistaken. Weeks ago, right? Yes. Yeah, you was high on them early, though. You was ooh. Me too. Now you ooh. Yeah, before the season started.

Yeah, mm-hmm. Crash out, Mr. P. I said before the season started. I told you how it was going to look. Don't do that. No, to him. Don't fucking do that. I told y'all how it was going to look.

So what if you'll see how it'll fuck that? I told y'all how it was going to look early. Don't fuck you're I told y'all I was fucked I told y'all how I was gonna look early. I told y'all play off a Podcast feed was gonna be podcast feed Went down here. So you sold your books would have started the season without Giannis without Dane Chris Middleton starts and gets hurt. What the fuck was our season look's season look like? 2-8, and we still would have been champions. The fact that you had all those people, you was 2-8. Yeah, you had all the people. No Middleton.

No Middleton. We had no chemistry. It don't matter. Y'all was on this Philly shit all high. All high Philly. But your guys were available. Your best two players were available. You paid $250 million for that bullshit.

$215 million for that bullshit. It was $250? $215 million for that bullshit. They're like that bullshit Your whole team was available. Yeah, y'all was stealing Chris. No, sir Yeah, we want right we want option right? We wasn't right the fourth option. They're missing the first three options Huh, and you y'all do they're missing like so this is not even the problem problem is this. Come on, man. A couple weeks ago... Brandon. Where you are now, what your plans are for and beating for Paul George lets the world know

you're not championship ready for a team that has championship bucks. Right? Your pockets say winning championships. Yes, absolutely. Your team, the injury report says otherwise. Not right now. You are investors.

You are businessmen. Think of it like business. Cut the cord. You should have cut the cord fucking weeks ago. MB, cut. You're not playing anymore. Paul George, eh, we'll see. If not, get healthy.

Right? They're not going to help you win a championship this year, so if they can't help you win a championship, shut them down. Fuck whatever their ego tells them. If their ego says, oh, I can win. I don't give a fuck what you, I just paid you money. I need to protect it.

Sit your stupid ass down. You, you, sit down. I don't give a fuck about what you're talking about. Sit down. You guys, this is your team. Show me what you have. Because in the summer, I need to make a decision if you're going to be here or not. So I need to let

Maxie, McClain, Martin, y'all play 40-something minutes. This is your time to show me what you have. I'm not fortunate to have this a lot. Show me what you have. You two, I don't give a fuck what y'all talking about.

Chill out. Go. I don't give a fuck what y'all talking about chill out go I don't give a fuck about your I don't need you being older playing getting hurt twinging ankles coming back but you're 30 you're 34 yeah you're 34 is fucking back and forth and I might not have you for next year sit down get healthy now get enjoy your this we go all in hey how about this what do you call it Youngest way they call it You but still on this team. I don't I don't believe it. We go all in there over the summer Let's go win. I this year. I have to say let it go. We're gonna we're gonna rest you I need you 100% Next year we're going for that motherfucking time this year. We have no chance. The only thing I'm doing is fucking you up.

I'm putting my miles on your desk. Now look, look, look. Next year not guaranteed. This year's not done. This year's done. Your knee's fucked up, your face fucked up, your eye might be twitched. I don't know what the fuck I'm getting.

I'll let him sit out until we get a win. Until we get 100%. percent, but not though That's the end of the season Yes He got to get healthy first and foremost so the cuz I think I didn't even gotta get in the playoffs Then you gotta get in shape. So what if that team make the playoffs? They're not healthy. Are you going to win the championship? No.

But if they make the playoffs, they're not about that. You got to know when to let it go. Listen, you have kings. I'm talking about if Embiid is healthy, you make the playoffs. If we're playing poker, you have kings. This motherfucker look like he got aces. There's an ace on the board. There's another ace on the board. There's another ace on the board

Are you willing to risk your whole deck with two aces on the board? He's playing like he has aces and you got a bunch of Kings in your hand know enough fold them shits this year fold it You just got one of your other your young players hurt fold this hand It's not if I'm making a playoff. You guys are not it this year. Let that shit go. If I'm making a playoff? I don't give a fuck about the playoff.

The two guys who's helping you are hurt. But if they're healthy for the playoffs. So do you think it's about just making the playoffs while Paul's signed there? If they're making the playoffs. No, but if he makes the playoff and I got two guys that's healthy and ready to go, I'm going to throw them in regardless. They're not in shape. Talent without Duke chemistry.

We saw what that looked like last year. Talent without Duke chemistry. We said Embiid, he came in for the class last year and drug that goddamn leg around. What happened to... We saw it. But I'm saying if he's healthy, though. Who says he's... I'm not saying not drag him along.

I'm talking about if he's healthy and ready to go. I guarantee you... You don't put those stars in. I guarantee you... And then you have a play-in game. Cl's a playing game maybe get it just makes no slippers is dreaded decision that they made Last year trying to make the playoffs in that same guy that they use can't play now But he's always hurt. I'm talking about I'm talking about I'm not saying forcing somebody back. I'm saying he's sitting out all the way now, and he's healthy.

You fuck around and make the playoffs. You don't just put him in. No, no. You sit him for the rest of the year. But y'all fuck around and make the playoffs. And he's sitting out healthy. I said him the whole year. Like 100%.

I said him the whole year. He comes to make. We're in the playoffs. If y'all in the playoffs. This team made the playoffs without him. But we talking championships now. No, you're not even championship. You're not even championship. This team is this team made the playoffs without him, but we thought You're not even Ready, I don't care you can put any talent together. They all do chemistry. No, they don't see the other way around

chemistry We saw that That team helped me going against the Knicks. We saw that first year with Bronner. Who helped? What were we saying to Lee? They put a score on winning it. The same, I'm picking the Knicks. Because that's the same team they whooped their ass last year. Not yet. But not with these guys.

Whooped their ass last year. Not with a hat. I'm talking about 100%. Was it the 03-04 Lakers? Talent! Yeah. I mean, the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat was on. The Miami Heat team. he said the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat was...

The Miami Heat team. He said the Spurs. Spurs-Miami Heat team. LeBron, when Dallas came in there and beat them, they was talented. Oh, yeah. Dallas team. More talented.

But Dallas chemistry... Not more talented. Not more talented. Who? That Miami Heat team? We can talk about... We can talk about Dallas and Miami, not with fucking Spurs and Miami.

Now, that's different. Dallas had chemistry. No, no. Dallas had chemistry. Miami had more talent. I know, bro. You're talking about Spurs and Miami now. That's different. Dallas had chemistry. No, no. Dallas had chemistry. Miami had more talent. I know, but you're talking about Spurs. Spurs had more chemistry. Spurs had more chemistry.

I'm about to say, wait, hold on. Spurs got chemistry and talent. Who the fuck is the talent? Wait, hold on. Name it. Kawhi Leonard. A young Kawhi Leonard. We don't even know.

We didn't even know who he was at that point. He won finals MVP. You know me. What is it? He won finals MVP averaging 50. Ronald Ginob is it? He won finals MVP averaging 15. Ronald Ginobili, Tony Parker. Come on, man. Think about what you're saying.

Yeah, but we're talking about like, Kim Douglas, 38. They were ass. All right. In comparison to Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. In comparison to Dwayne Wade and Bosh. And Chris Bosh. And Ray Allen.

Who else was over there? Ray Allen. Mike Miller. That's a lot. Man. A lot of nobody else. Mike Miller was old then. And that Allen. Who else was over there? Ray Allen. Mike Miller. Man, nobody else. Mike Miller was old then. And Walsh. I'm talking about a team that been together for 15 years, know how to play together, and nice.

And Mike was over there. Come on, man. Come on. Then you add a little piece like Kawhi. Like, all you need is one little piece to help you. Yeah, but that's chemistry, though. Overall, talented-wise, that team is not better than you. That's what you're saying.

So are you saying talent or chemistry? He averaged 14. That's how bad the rest of the team was. If the finals MVP averaged 14 for the playoffs. That's what he was doing to LeBron. What'd he do to LeBron? LeBron averaged 28, 50% from the field, 53% from the three-point line. Like, he was ballinging it was the rest of it

Parker was having a horrible time Tim Duncan was old Ginobili the seventh sixth eighth man, whatever you want Get the rebound I've never seen that in my life a team team that won five championships is bad. You're talking about at that point in time. We're talking about a team who won a championship one year. This year in 2000. You just switched your argument. Dallas had chemistry, but Spurs had talent and chemistry. I don't care what y'all talking about. They had talent.

Spurs got talent. Who was the talent? I said Dallas, okay. They got chemistry. We're talking about the Miami Heat. Who had more talent, the Miami Heat or the San Antonio Spurs? But the Spurs had both. This is 2014.

That's what I'm saying. They got talent. Two thousand. Are they talented? No. The Spurs are not talented. Are we saying the Spurs are not talented? In 2014, more talent than the Yolo.

I'm not saying they had more. I said they were stronger. We're talking about box 20-something. That's what we're asking you, fool. Dwayne Wade is 20-something. Who had more? Chemistry and talent. Who had more talent? Who had more talent?

Who had more? Thank you for answering the question. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Who had more talent? Tim Duncan's the number one power four of all time, right? Not in 2014.

It don't matter. He retired two years later. LeBron won at the same age. Jesus Christ. LeBron won at the same age. Jesus Christ. LeBron won at the same age. He averaged... LeBron won at the same age in a bubble. What are we talking about?

He averaged 30 in a bubble. We're talking about 30 versus 14. It don't matter. He was MVP in a bubble. Tim Duncan was fucking the fourth option in 2014. Same age. He averaged 14 points for the season. It lets you know where he was as an individual.

If you're the number one power forward of all time, you're gonna be good when that time when the lights go on. You played against Tim Duncan, what was it? Every night. Oh, listen. 20-something and what? It was nightmares. That motherfucker almost had a quadrupedo.

That's what I'm saying. What year was that? What year was that? What year was that? Hold on, what year was that? 2003. 2000 what? I almost had a quadruple Where you was that 2003 2001 2003 Year they won if the finals averaged 15 for the playoffs, what do you think the rest of the players look like? That means together they have the...

Eagle Dollar averaged that. I don't know what the fuck going on. Let's shift it back to the Sixers real quick. Let's shift it back to the Sixers real quick. Question for Kenya. What do you think the best power forward averaged for that season? I don't like crosstalk. For the playoffs, for Kawhi Leonard to win.

I don't know. All I know is Tim Duncan on the floor. What did he average? He's the second best person on the floor. No, he was not the second best player on the floor. In the finals, I'm going to depend on Tim Duncan. It's going to be LeBron and Tim Duncan. But Josiah has a question.

Because you are going to mute him. Let's shift it back to the six. There Duncan. But Josiah has a question. Because you arguing to me. Let's shift it back to the Sixers. One question for you, Kane, before we get to Mostly fans. You ain't telling me Tim Duncan. So Sixers won five of their last seven games. Not nice. Nice men. Sixers won five of their last seven games.

Eight and 16 this season. Currently 12th in the league. Nigga had 14, 10, and 14. Like, what are we talking about? How much you average? 14 and 10? 14. Yeah. The what are we talking about? How much did he average? 14 and 10? 14. Yeah.

The last three games. 14 and six rebounds. How much did he average? 10 and 11 rebounds. 14 and eight rebounds. Does that sound like the Tim Duncan we know? He wasn't the Tim Duncan you know. This is the old Tim Duncan.

He wasn't killing. He killed Chris. Yeah, he killed all right. Still rocking old Navy. He killed Chris Boston with 10 points. Still rocking old Navy. Oh, shit.

Let me be serious. They won five of the last. Come on, man. Last question before we get to most defensive. Canyon Sixers won five of their last seven games, 8-16 this season,

currently 12th in the East, but just five games behind the Heat for the sixth spot, which would keep them out of the play-in. What would success look like for the Sixers the rest of this season? Play number one a little more

Okay, all right fair That's important. Oh, yeah. No, no, man. The kid plays man. Yeah, I'm course I'm biased But other day everybody with the whole team was in the negative. He had a plus 10. So it's shit like that, right? Yes. But I think they, guys find themselves, man, when the ball not sticking, when you don't have to feature Joel, which is tough. Because, you know, he's going to take a lot of shots. He's going to draw a lot of attention. But, yeah, no, he's letting them dudes rock, man. They playing well.

They defending. But just put the athletes on the floor, man. Play fast. Play Kelly Oubre. Play Council. Yeah. Play Kelly Oubre. Play Council. Yeah. Unfortunate McCain is out. We get Martin back.

I think we play Reggie Jackson. Just play free, man. You got guys that's known, that's built a reputation in this league, like Eric Gordon, that can shoot the ball, shoot the hell out the ball like he proved the other night against Charlotte. Yeah. And that last game against the Hornets, Tyrese Maxey got 40. PG had 33. Yeah, And that last game against the Hornets, Tyrese Maxey got 40. PG had 33.

Yeah, they got it going early. So the game got a little stagnant because the Medus had it going early. Yeah. But overall, it's trending okay, right, without the other guys. That's how it started. Like I said, not having McCain is going to hurt because it was dependent on his scoring. But somebody just had to step up. You think they're still a playoff team, even without him being...

I think they can make some noise, man. If PG continue to play the way he did the other day and Maxey, they gotta have to carry the load. I think them both averaging. I think PG gonna have to average similar to what Tyrese is averaging around 24. Yeah, it's a possibility, man. Okay. It's a good possibility, especially in the East, the way it is.

And you just got to get to 10 to get a playing game, right? Yep. Mm-hmm. You get to 10, and Lord knows what can happen from there. Just continue to grind, man, like I've been telling KJ. Just go hoop, bro. Don't worry about the record. Go out and hoop. Earn your minutes. Work on your craft, man a team to grind every day. The Lord knows what's gonna happen.

So are you saying there's still hope for the Sixers? But we know where hope works. That's why I was... Listen, we... Is she gonna be on the clock, or is she... Oh, she always on the clock now. She always on the clock. But you know where to find her when things don't work out. Right? Most definitely.

Loco. Okay. Loved her, though, because she was very passionate, but she was very confused why we had class and activities in between practices and games. She's like, I came here to play basketball. What do you guys got me doing out here? I was sitting out, so I was just watching from a distance, watching her crash out. She ended up, she played well.

She was really good, but then she left. She said, I'm going back to Spain And I'm going to be a pro I'll catch y'all later Adios, but she was fun. I she and she was funny because Europeans like they're very brutally honest about like who you are as a basketball player, so We had like conversations every now and then cuz I was I was always on practice squad I was always going against her whooping her her ass, because she was only a freshman. I was a junior at the time.

So she was like, I was like one of the only players she respected on the team. And she made that very obvious. So I was always on her side for everything, because the respect was there. But she left, so I didn't get to play with her. But she's a pro now and doing well. But she was, that was my first experience
