Episode Date: April 16, 2026

The Golden State Warriors' VINTAGE Win IGNITES Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Steph Curry & Draymond Green turning back the clock to pull off an improbable comeback win over the Los Angeles Clippers in the opening round of the NBA Play In Tournament and break down how the Warriors were able to feel like champions again with Chef Curry cooking and Draymond Green putting Kawhi Leonard in the torture chamber. They also discuss what's next for Kawhi & The Clippers as the Klaw has not been able to make it out of the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs over the past 5 seasons and give their savage reactions to Chris Paul celebrating the Clippers downfall after his unceremonious dismissal from the team. Next, they react to Tyrese Maxey & Andre Drummond holding it down for the Philadelphia 76ers as they powered their team over the Orlando Magic without their MVP Joel Embiid on the court and debate if this team will be able to hold their own against the Boston Celtics in the next round of the NBA Playoffs. They then react to the NBA ruling in favor of Luka Doncic & Cade Cunningham in their appeals against the league's 65 game minimum rule and debate if the league's leniency will shift any opinions on the controversial rule before reacting to LaMelo Ball being fined for tripping Bam Adebayo in the Hornet's play in game victory, sparking a debate on if the hostile play deserved a bigger punishment. Finally, they react to Brandon Jenning's viral tweet trying to start the conversation on Devin Booker after another disappointing season for the Phoenix Suns and debate if Heat Culture is cooked if the team is unable to land a superstar this offseason, before previewing the final round of the Play-In tournament which tips off tomorrow.

Yes. One of them ended up going professional. What's his name? I used to watch Kimbo Slop. Knock out Crackhead. In my spare time. It was enjoyable experience. I was hanging.

Usually the best games of anything is the bottoms. Two bad teams. Two bad teams playing one another. It's going to be good basketball. It's a good basketball. We got two games to discuss today, but as always, this is Gil's reading, presented by Underdog Woo-Woop. I'm merely a host, Josiah Johnson.

And we got NBA legend and Arc Raiders Most Wanted Gilbert Arenas back here with us. No, no, no, he was saying yesterday, nobody answers. So I'm like, I'm asking for it. Like that I got it's the four. I mean, nobody was answered. He was just by himself there, so I got it. I mean. Skip was like, Skip, Negro, 10?

No, what time? He did this. He's just good. 10 minutes, 20 minutes late for that shit, okay, okay. Didn't pay my phone bill. Good thing, take time. Matches, boy.

You got so many toys at home. I was feeling back from like, somebody got to say it back. Y'all never watched the movie? See you the next again. We got NBA Champion of the World, Cleveland High School, greatest player of all time. Waggy Pete, Nick Young, back in the arena. I had the whole thing. No drawstring on the shorts.

Yeah. Two eggs. On this side of the couch, we got the distinguished gentleman from Oak Cliff. gentleman from Oak Cliff, former number one pick. Canyon Martin back here with you. Hey, Nick, you look homeless yesterday just so you know. You look like somebody found that shit in the bag. They did.

Somebody's legacy is online Friday. Is he light-skinned? Of course. Does he live in the South West? We will discuss. We got a lot to get into. Wait. Tell him about buckle.

Huh? What? No, Gil. What I do now? No, I was... y'all was like i was dodged smoke yesterday oh my god didn't i pick shirley

yeah all y'all did okay i was just like all my ducking when i picked the same team I was the only one that picked well the other one yeah but we all picked the sons well he picked Portland yeah but oh well oh the sons what

on Amazon Prime it was the second game we picked oh We got a lot to discuss. But we got one. Here's what's, here's what's Cracking the Gills Arena today.

I'm going forward. Yeah, you picked two yesterday, too? You were on, yesterday? I picked Orlando and I picked fucking Clippers. You went against the boys? I didn't know Steph was playing like that.

Philly over? I thought they was tanking for like a. No way. You thought Philly was going to be Philly? Yes. Orlando was. was supposed to be a top 14.

They weren't going to beat them at home. But think about coming in, where Orlando was supposed to be at? Top 5. Yeah, they should not enough for sure. Yeah, they got bang. But where did they add now? I knew they wasn't going to win. They got a bang.

Players don't like it. I knew they wasn't going to win that game. Low-budgettee. The low-budget Derek right, ballhead? That's the name. Jayland sucks. It sucks. It looks like Derek right.

Low-budget Derek White. All right. All right. We got a lot to discuss. Here's what's cracking in Gil's Arena today. Warriors overcame a 13-4th quarter deficit to end the Clipper season. What does this win really mean for the dub, Steve Kerr? Seems that they meant a lot.

It may be the greatest 37-win team in NBA history. The NBA ruled in favor of Luca and Kade being eligible for postseason award. Despite both coming short of the 65-game minimum, did the league get it right? Yes. You may not be able to see the smoke, ladies and gentlemen, but we're on the watchout. You may see the smoke. I think we all agree that they did. And the Sixers

snatch the 7th Sea with a win over the magic without Joel Embed. Does Philly have any shot against Boston without their former MVP? But before we get into all that, this episode is brought to you by Underdog. Underdogs available in most states, including Texas, California, and Florida.

So, night two of the playing featured Steph Curry and the Warriors pulling up to Los Angeles to take on Kauai and the Clippers, with the winner advancing for a chance to face Phoenix for the eighth seed and the loser getting a one-way ticket to Cancun. Clippers became the first team in league history to start

six and 21 and finish the season. The winning record while the Warriors into their matchup having lost seven of their last eight games with Steph Curry playing four of the last five regular season games after missing 27 straight. with runners' knee. Before the game, Steve Kerr said his squad didn't have momentum on their side, but they had experience and that experience came through when they needed it most. Clippers

were in control for most of the game as a Warriors trail by as much as 13 points. In the fourth quarter, we pick up the action in the final frame. And what was one of amazing comeback, so Guy Giz Santos and Steph Curry hit back-to-back threes to cut the deficits to seven. Cost them, you're at the point. Then Christop Porzingis followed that up with six. straight points to close the gap to three points. How you're knocking on? The unicorn lane jump a little bit over eight minutes remaining later in the quarter.

There is Garland. Knocked down a three to put the clippers back up by nine. But then Al Horford went new clear. Going four for four from long range in the fourth quarter. Timely shots like this, Horford's last three in this series, giving the dubs their first lead since the second quarter. I ain't black. What's the .

Nope? I ain't no black. Lopez was going to dope right here. What? So Brooke Lopez hit a pair of free throws to tie the game back up and then Wardell, Stefan Curry. Knocked down a huge three with under a minute and remaining to put the Warriors up three. Dremont Green stole the inbound pass, tipped it to Brandon Bejimski, who got fouled and got the gold tan.

Oh, give me that. And then. Why trying to keep the clippers in the game. Draymond comes up with the big steel. Damn. Steph got fouled and one or two free throws to help seal the win for the Golden State Warriors. After scoring just eight points in the first half, Steph finished with 35 points in the game going 7 for 12 from 3. Santos and Chris Sperzingis both had 20.

Pots had 17 and 7 boards. Draymond Green delivered a vintage defensive performance finishing with 7.6 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 steals, locking up Kauai in the fourth quarter. Warriors went 15 for 20 in the fourth, including A3s, and got their first win at Intuit Dome. Dubs will now face the Suns Friday in Phoenix for a chance of the AC. So after the game, Steve Kerr had this to say about his team and their chef. With all the wins we've ever had here, a lot of them with a lot more at stake, this is right up there. Just because, you know, of where we are and our age and our, you know, the declines.

of our performance this year, the injuries. It was just a display of, just a beautiful display of competitive will. And this is why Steph came back. So everybody out there who thought Steph should have taken the rest of the year off. This is what he does. This is who he is. If he can compete, he's going to compete. And it was just incredible to watch.

For one night, you know, We're us. We're champions again, you know, and I know that may sound crazy to everybody out there. It's a play-in game. I don't care. It's just absolutely beautiful to watch. Back down memory lane. Gil, biggest takeaways from the Warriors win over the Clippers.

They pushing it. They pushing it. They pushing it. I get it. I understand that you want to go out there and you know, don't look like you're tanking. I get it. But reality is reality.

You don't have Jimmy Butler. The chances of you, the chances of you beating OKC and winning a championship is zero. Slim to none. So you're pushing it. I mean, you got one more game.

You got one more game. You got one more game. to get the lottery. Right? Ninth spot? The chance of getting number one. The eight spot, the best you can get is 15.

Right? In the loaded draft, so I'm just talking on the business side of it, right? Where you are, where reality is. I said this about Dallas. People thought I was stupid. it, right? Why are you jeopardizing, bringing Anthony Davis back and he's going to win games?

And you guys make the playoffs and lose this horrible season you had. And they didn't make it, got the number one pick. Right? So let's not pretend that that's not a real thing. So, you know, Clippers. unfortunately, right? All the bad they did this year is going to be rewarded to someone else.

It goes to okay, so it gets rewarded to a whole other franchise. So, listen, watching these games is amazing. Watching guys compete is amazing. But, you know, I know deep down inside what business of basketball is, and it shows this ugly tail every single time.

So, Steph and the boys competing was just amazing to see, but, you know. So sometimes when you win, you really live. Yeah, you need your legacy to carry on. And the only way it's going to carry on is tomorrow. What's it today? Tomorrow. Friday, no games today? Friday, you know, tomorrow.

Today? No. No. Friday. So what other, both playing games? Tuesday, Wednesday, and then they both play Friday. Oh, they cheat. It was a good game, though.

I mean, I thought once I got the 13, it was, well, 30, you know, but, you know, Clippers look like they had the same thing in mind, but opposite. Same thing in mind, same thing in my, same thing in mind. Like, oh, shit, we don't get, we don't get that pick. God damn it. Can we get the two minutes back? So I guess we move on, your biggest takeaway is from the Warriors win. Man, greatness.

Steph, Draymond, championship DNA. See, Draymond does what it takes. He don't score, but his impact on winning is crazy. What he did to Kauai in that fourth quarter, damn near the whole game, like for somebody to sacrifice, scoring and everything, their game playing is we're going to let this guy be the star, still be the star. I do everything else. And Steph going out there delivering showing why he's, if not the number one, best point

guard, number two in some people's eyes. And you can't count them out. I think with that team there, as Jimmy was here, they'd be tough. That'd be tough to beat just because they got championship experience all around from Horford to Prasenghis, Steph, the coach. they know what it takes and they know when they're never out the game. Like you got Tyrone Loo doing this, I had a dream speech to his team, we just gotta win this summer numbers, but you got Lopez out there in the

kick-in-roll with Steph Curry, like you're not gonna win like that. So the white man did kill Martin Luther King, just, just Steph was the half white man. So yeah, that shit gotta stop like that's what I'm saying. Like, see, cool. You was on the road. I was. You was on the road.

You just beard left. You just couldn't help yourself. You was cooking. But it was. Tomlinu happened to do this. I had a dream speech all year. He's got to win 30. 35 and 20.

You go 35 and 20. Giving hope. Then this, the white man. They went 36 and 20. Half white man took them out. He just couldn't help himself, Gia. Ty Lou said, I have a dream that we can win. Go 35 and 20 and finish the season of 500.

The team went 36? See? And they got their ass. They, like, fell apart towards the end. This goddamn. I thought they would have had that seven spot on lock. I think they would have got... I thought they would have been playing the Spurs,

and it could have been a good game. They out the tournament. It's crazy. Chilling his honor. After all that. Kauai, he's playing the best he ever played as a clipper to me. And he out the tournament. It ain't in the playoffs.

It's crazy. Playing hot potato. Garland didn't know what to do at the end. Matherin throwing the ball around. Kauai getting stuck and just passing that shit. It was like somebody take over, please. And nobody took over. It was putting two on there.

Putting two on Kauai. You're going to get off. You're like, you'll turn. Try. Garland, dribbling an hour. You turn, try. I was wondering why coaching, man. Kauai, two points in the fourth quarter,

but let's shift it this side of the cup. We're your biggest takeaways from the Warriors. Thrilling, playing victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Yeah, no, you can't, yeah, to Steve Kerr's point, right?

If Steph can go out there and be half of himself, he's a problem, right? And if he gets it going, good luck. Right? So yeah, no, man, they believe in to Nick's point, which I didn't think about, that Porzingus and Al Horford, Doug, they do have rings, you know what I'm saying? So they've been there, they've been on the biggest stage, they played on the biggest stage before. So you had, so you got four champions on the floor at once. They understand how to play basketball.

So it goes a long way, you know, in big time situations, pressure situations. That's what their play in game was. don't know what's going to happen the next one but you know that was the one the most important one was that one right and they showed up and

Draymond does what Draymond does when games are on line when it's time to win man he affects winning to Nick's point he affects winning taking the challenge to a lot of young guys out there he was hampered a little bit late didn't matter

it's a situation over injury, right? Whatever the elman was at the time, the situation is bigger than that. I can deal with it after the game. So that's the heart of a champion. They're playing for a chance to get the A-C. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Yeah, no, but they... Big moments. They are, they are. But to Gil's point, to what detriment, right? To what detriment? Like, are we really... Like, just to say, we got into playoffs again? Like, is that worth your future?

Right? because that's what this next game is, right? You're playing to try to find help for Steph. And so let's see how it goes. But now they deal what they had to do, showed up, and for the Clippers, what's next, right? Don't get your lottery pick. Damn.

Yeah, you made changes this year for the, it was supposed to have been for now. I don't know. what's next, but what's next for T. Lou in this situation, right? Did he coach his last job at the clip? So it was a lot to take away from the game, but shout out to the Golden State Warriors for showing up when they needed to.

And moving on, man. So they got another day to fight, so we'll see. Let's shift over you, Mr. B, watching that game. Obviously, you've been a big supporter of 30. Yeah. For a very long time. But seeing what Steph and the Warriors were able to do, coming to the into the end to a dump,

getting their first win in Steve Bomber's building. I mean, it's just amazes me. Me and Ken was talking about how, like, they still just let Steph Curry just get the ball. Do we have one leg last night, Santos, Al Horford, Prisina. I mean, I think it was just a great all-around game for them. I know we were talking about, like, them, like, getting to the playoffs and, you know, having that draft pick, but I think it's hard for them to turn off that switch. been a champion for so long.

I understand that, yes, you do want a draft pick in this, but, I mean, you know, you still got, like you said, championship experience. You got guys who've been there before. I'm not saying they're going to be OKC, but it's just still, you know, you got Steph Curry, you got these NBA champions, and you guys are back in the lottery. I mean, I don't know if that's going to sit well with them as an organization

when you can actually go get somebody in the offseason. Jimmy Buller still was, what, last year. You know, I mean, somebody would have to go, but I mean, I just don't see them just giving up Because that's just not who their DNA is and I just think that would just, I don't know, I think it's just tear the organization down a little bit Like, you know, we're champions so like we stand on winning regardless of you know, they're not scared of OKC I mean, you know, you still got Steph Curry. I'm not saying you're going to, you know, win the series, but you can win a game or two But it's still, you still got other guys who haven't had that experience that's, that's, part of the future, so I don't know.

I'm rolling with them trying to win. Yeah. They could get like a LeBron in the off-season? So, been talking about the words are trying to make a big move in the off-season, obviously. We know Yonis unhappy in Milwaukee. I think they were one of the teams that tried to require them. So go back to your point, a lottery pick, I think we're... A lottery people will hope, right?

We might be mighty, mighty, at first. In this drive, though, 15 is a good pick too, shit. Yeah. It is. It is. 10 a lot better. Or Sab or like Dallas, number one. Dallas had a point,

the Dallas had less of the percent of chance to get the fucking first. Remember the worst. The worst pick, if you're out of the lottery, if they lose, the worst pick they get is 14. Meaning anything in from first to 10, they're going to have an actual nice player

they can use. A-cuff, Wheeler, right? You're boozer. Right? And Jimmy Buller comes back. Yeah. The best pick they can get if they win, the best they can get will be 15. Steve Curdle don't even like playing young guys.

Yeah. So why even go back to the draft when you don't even like. But they got, because you can take that young guy and you can package your love. You can package that. You can package you. I mean, yeah, but what I'm saying is you had comminga, we just see how that went. Yeah. Right.

So like, so like, if you're, if you're, let's say, bucks. Right? You're going to have a top pick too. Right. So let's say Golden State loses and Bugs get two. Golden State gets three. Right? And you end up getting AJ and Caleb.

Right? So you got a three and a five. You don't think Bucks want to deal with you now? Hell yeah. Because now I can get your pick. Now I got a four and a five. Future. This is my future.

now or three and a five, right? So the drive picks are, if you're trying to make a trade, they are very important. But I'm saying you've already did the work, right? So going and proving yourself, your champions and stuff like this, I get the ego part. But the business is the business and Steph is getting older, right? You got the kid from Illinois, right? You get a five, six, you can pick him, let, let Curry, men, mentor them for a couple years.

Maybe they might be great at the one, two. Same type of guy. Maybe he had a kid. Like, maybe. Like, there's so many, what I'm saying is there's so much talent that's walking through from one to 14 that you won a lottery pick. You do want a lottery pick in this. 15, 15, that's the best you can get.

But you could get the kid from USC. But I'm saying, that's the best you can get. You get the kid from USC. That is the best pick. That is like, like, nine. How is that kid? What I'm saying is nine. Nine is the number one.

Nine is the number one pick for the lottery. I mean, for out of the lottery. You know what I mean? That's the number one pick. That's the best you can get out of the Western name. This draft is loaded. So, so, like, so I. This is a loaded draft, though.

That's what I'm saying. It's so loaded that I have to just have bad luck to get the 14. That's like Kobe coming in at 16. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Kobe coming in that 16. I just don't think it's in the Warriors' day. Luke. I mean, but hey, if it's...

But sometimes when you lose, you really win, Mr. B. if you're looking for long-term success. Because if you get that A-FC, you're going to get your ass busted by the Thunder anyway. What about that? I'm just saying. Like, I get B's point. It's hard. They can't turn it off, right? They don't go out. They're going to go out. They're going to go out. They're going to go out.

They're going to go out and play, right? They're going to compete. They're just what it is. Everybody was hurt by Steph. They're just going to have to... They're just going to have to beat them. What is Pete is he? Stinking too. This is about to be, this might be like 95-905.

Like one of those games were both trying to do the same thing. Both won a lottery pick. I need a big too. Both won a lottery pick. So, you know what I mean? You don't think Phoenix is thinking the same thing? Like we got these pieces, we got this piece. Shit, we get one of these bigs, we can get the top five, we can get a bit, like everyone,

they're all thinking the same thing. Man, if they get a lottery thing. I mean, they might as well trade book or shit. I mean. Who's a point guard over there? Who's a point guard over there? Jimmy Butler in their picture. No one is that.

Who's the point guard in Phoenix right now? Jaylen Green? Now, how many, how many point guards in this draft that they could possibly use? A Cup, you got Illinois kids. You got McIlbrow? You got so many, like I'm saying. It's one of them where upper management and the players

are going to be on two different spots. spectrums. Or they get a big too. Yeah, because you can't tell them to do not to go out of the team. Yeah. Well, you can. You can. You can see.

I know one team that looked like they did it. Where's that team located again? Hmm? Some, some, not Orlando, the other one, the sun, the one with the one with all the shine. Oh. Yeah, it looked like, yeah, it did look like. Yeah, it did look like.

Yeah. It looked like you look like you about to come back in here Get your ass in the back Get your asses I got to talk to you for a little bit I was thinking that like Season online you don't even try to come back and play Right yeah I thought it but hey Someone we watched him we watched him get foul we watch him get his ass

clothesline this morning We see to him get clothes lined by Nobody slid, brother. Your ass, that hurt. This leg was in the air. You know who that coach is, brother. It's the godfather. For sure.

Only way your ass is sitting. What happened to Norman Powell? He had leading the team to scoring came off the bench. Uh-huh. Came off the bench, right? My all star. What happened? I'm like, what happened?

Nobody's paying attention. That's what I said. Nobody's paying attention to the reality that's out there. I was saying to sound like a dog. My best player, best score, All-Star come off the bat. All right. Mr. 83, hit his booty, going in the back. Now, he can't walk no more.

He walked to the, he walked there. We saw him walk. Don't walk over. You're going to limp back. Yeah, yeah, we get it. Okay. Now y'all get a lottery pick. Smart move.

Because they know they can't get players to come. And I can tell you this, what is Miami? A big city. Right? So you're talking about, you're talking about, I'm just going to put it. They will get a top three pick. Gilshrodomis. They will get a top three pick.

I hate that you think. You just think you know. I mean, I can tell you. Huh? I hate you think you know everything. You pointed out, why was the best player come off the bench? I was thinking that though Okay, all right

Just, I won't come. Hey, just imagine. Just, man. Oh, one point four percent chance. Oh, what do you know? Come on, man. Come on, man. We're not implying anything, though, Adam Silver, so.

Please keep going. But let's talk a little bit about Steph, a little bit more. It's tough year for Steph. Sat out from February to early April while dealing with runners' knee, played just 43 games this season, became up big in this one to keep the Warriors season live. 35 points and 36 minutes of action. There were initial report,

Steve Kerr planned to have him on a minute's restriction. 36 minutes was the most he's played since Christmas week. And he did it rocking a pair of Kobe Forrest. Extremely impressive. I know we don't believe in statement games, but this is Adam Silver's playing, Gil. What statement did Steph Curry make with his dominant performance? Listen, Steph is on the same thought processes. LeBron James.

You know, they're both fighting for the top spot in their position, right? You know, when you're fighting for something, you really want the consensus to say you are the best ever, right? You don't, you, you, these guys don't want to leave no doubt, right? Steff is in the same situation where, you know, you got people who are Magic Johnson fans, that's like, no, Magic's still number one. You got the youth, the same, Kirby's number one.

Steph is going to come out every single night. from when he came until he later to now, every game he can play and do what he do, he's going to do it. He needs to finish leaving his legacy, right? You're already here at two fighting for one. He's not, I'm not stopping now. I'm going to keep going. And, you know, so he's going to, you know, the older he gets, the more in shape he's going to have to be just to keep doing what he, you know, he's previously to be doing. So, you know, stuff is going to always go out there and be brilliant.

So Mr.Bee, when you see what Steph did out there, 35 points, 36 minutes, had said initially he thought he was going to be out a couple days with the knee issue and ended up missing 27 games. Like I said, came back and played four of the last five, but the Warriors entered this matchup losing seven of their last eight games. 37 wins. Not a ton to play for it, but Steph came to into a dome, put on a show. Yeah.

No, I mean, just to Gil's point, I mean, they're fighting for something. So that's why I see them making the playoffs. That's why I see Steph wanting to have that matchup. I mean, the other person that he's being compared to, LeBron James, he's in the playoffs this year. So to be at home and not even being able to still be able to play and have those big moments, those big games, and just let the dice roll how it goes. You know, that's part of why I think the Warriors are trying to get to the playoffs and everything. Because, like you said, they're fighting.

They're fighting for their legacy. They're fighting for people to know that, you know, they are the greatest. So, you know, dudes out there on one leg, man. like hamstring, so, you know, you see us right there in your face. Can you, when you see stuff out there 38 years old, light skinned excellence, 35 points. And the clippers down. I just meant testament to hard work, believing in his craft, and not deviating from the process, right? It's, yeah, no, he is, if you love basketball, you love to watch Steph compete, right?

Because he is going to do that, to Gil's point. He is going to go out and compete. And it's been, it's been a pleasure to watch night in, night out when he takes the floor. Because it's that, it's the shooting, but it's his competitive nature that drives that machine. You know, Draymond is who he is for them, but Steph competitive nature. is what drives, has what's been driving that for so long. Yeah, I'm not surprised. And, yeah, they mess around and get eight.

Their confidence is going to increase. And saying they go beat San Antonio, but they're going to make it as difficult as possible. With coaching and game playing and different things like that. Oh, they go get the seven. No, they can't get the seven, my bad. Okay. I thought they can get the seven. They can definitely get swept by the Thunder.

Yeah, they definitely get swept by the Thunder. They play at a high level. Yeah, it's a different style of play. I thought they could get the second. Yeah, my bad. All this playing shit, my bad. All this is sweat. Yeah, definitely.

I think they get honest, he still went on the Thunder. It's a different out of them. It's a different out of them. I don't throw all the little muffled. I think they can still, I think it's still, I game. All that playing shit, my bad. It is confusing. Yeah, it is.

My bad. They were going to run. I can get the game against the spurs. Yeah, my bad. They could get the game against the spurs a couple games. Yeah, they could. My bad. Okay, C, they don't get sweat.

They're going to compete, though. Right? If they're playing against OKC, they're going to be on that stage again. They're going to compete. Team, my stuff. And he's going to have games? Yeah, but they got bodies they can throw at him, man. Yeah, too many.

Yeah, they got a lot of wins guys. They can throw at him. We're going to try to wear him down. Oh, God damn team. Yeah, that's a tall task. But, no, man, it's good to see him going out and compete. the way he does. And we get to see it one more time.

So, Ragge, when you look at your staff, your former NBA championship teammate, a man responsible for getting you the championship experience. I mean, I got him one champion. Did you? Yeah. Well, you do say role players

or get you one of the games for one. He was tripping. I was like, I got you. But, but, no, it's good. Like, we all knew it was coming. I thought night night was coming. Once they came back, We knew Steph was going to do one of those, you know, that three and do this running down the court.

Like, once the, and that's what we love. Like, stuff could change your mind real fast and make you enjoy the game and make you see him as, you know, one of the greatest instantly as you just watch him, man. And it gives me hope, you know, he's 38 out there hooping. You know, I'll be going, I'll go to the park and be like, man, I could do this too. You know, when I see my old guys out there, I'm like, you know what? I could probably do this too, you feel me? I need starting to work and shit. I'm like, man, I could should go out there and get a 10 day.

How do you? 40. You can go out there, so I can get a good. I could. You know, if I really train, like, a professional again, I think I could be like Steph Curry, you know. And that's what the kids see. Like, he gives everybody hope out there. And that's all you ask for, you know.

He's like the savior of the NBA He's like he brings hope Like you should have a picture of Steph Curry and hope on it like On it from president He gives he give regular civilians hope Yeah like all these kids think they can shoot threes And shit like Steph like

Give everybody hope When you see that 99 For those that have been in high school gym They think they can They like Steph Curry They think they can do it It's the same thing The difference is Steph shots go in

What's his name? The white boy, what's the name from Miami? He had a fast break layup and ran to the three and... Hero? Yeah, that's the shit Steph thing. Make you do. He got fouled, but he had a wide open layup and said, fuck that and ran to the corner and three and said, nigga, I'm Steph.

Like... Tyler Hero said, Nick, I'm Steph, as he... Yeah. He's just not half black. He's like all white, so he's not all the way stuff. From Milwaukee, though. Mm-hmm. Who's from Milwaukee?

Who's from Milwaukee? Hero. Tile Hero, a great city. No way. Swear to God, yeah. What the, what the- grew up near your family that you have yet? He could be my cousin, Lowecky.

No wonder he's cool. I've seen him at the family reunion. Well, let's see this is why people fail in life. What? They give hope. He fell off hope. And I see why a lot of companies make a lot of money. That's why MBA is big business, hope.

That's why Las Vegas exists, good. You said you're 40. And I feel like it'll be seven. I feel like. Yeah. I feel like. I'm like every, I'm like the YouTube one-on-one. All I need is an opportunity.

No, no, no, no. Because, no, no, no. You feel like it, right? It gives you hope, right? That is so far away from the reality of what Steph is. You fat out of shape? I'm not fat. I'm not fat, no, I'm not fat.

You can't say that. Thubbery out of shape. You said, right, your knees hurt. We're seeing you at the Creator League outside. We've seen your last year. What was that game? We seen them last year outside. But I wasn't.

I was trained. I got a train. See, that's the difference between Hope and reality. I'm a train. Hope looks at it and says, I think I can do that. I could. Reality is you're training, you're getting in shape, and when you see it, yeah, I can do, I can do that because I'm ready.

I'm ready. You know, you as close to that. Steph is me. And I haven't touched the goddamn I'm farther than you. No, I'm farther than you. No, no, no. I'm in the middle. You're like, no, no, no, no, no. You're where to start it.

We both in the same project, brother. I can't let you shoot my name. I have a screen, though. You have a wood door. Right, we both got a door. You don't mess up my dream. They just can't see through yours. That's it.

Lou had a dream. I had a dream. Out of that dream, though. Close. Okay. I came close, though. That was close. I hope I could

Hey Ken, I could go do it I could Where's that fight with Blueface? I ain't doing that shit You're rewashing You rewatch it huh? You rewashed I come here like this

Penituary fact You could beat him I could but Shit I might Let's talk quickly about Draymond Might get Yeah

My kids go to school They were talking about it too. What? It's a lot of pressure. He was like, hey, we're in the fight. I said, damn, y'all know about it too? My son ain't gonna be able to go here no more if I get my ass.

He's gonna get into a fight at school. Man, your daddy got his ass with. I said, nah, I ain't gonna do this to my kids. Do you like your blue face did your daddy? My kids, I ain't gonna fuck with my kids like that. Do you? Smart man. That's money, you know, that's good money right again.

It's good money. I said, but then you can't talk shit to your kids no more. Then you can't threaten them no more. All right. Shit, you didn't say that to blue face. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's going to turn it on the TV. Come in, that shit going to be on YouTube. That's, yeah. They'll wake up. Bus down, top of shit. But let's talk about Draymond on the defensive side really quick. Draymond Green delivered a vintage defensive performance, shutting down Kauai in the biggest game in the season.

The claw was held to 21 points for five turnovers. He had to seven points in the second half, two in the fourth quarter. After the game, Kauai had high praise for Dremont, saying Drey was a Hall of Fame defender and also saying it was hard to even get shots up. So, Kenyon, when you look at what Dremont was able to do in that game defensively for the Warriors, locking up Kauai in crunch time. How impressive was that in the Warriors win?

No, he took on a challenge, right? He's had a lot of battles against him. He played a lot of basketball against him, so he knows his tendencies for one. anticipation, knowing what his go-to moves are and beat them to the spot, like on the crossover. Lake, I'm saying, knowing what he was about to do and beat them to the... So, yeah, it's doing your homework, but playing against him before helps. Just taking the challenge, man.

We all know Draymond is going to compete, right? We know he's going to go out and compete at the highest level, especially on that side of the ball, right? That's where he lays his hat on. And he did in the fourth quarter. And throughout the game and the fourth quarter, they were doing a good job at putting two on Kauai as well. But Draymond taking the challenge individually not to let their best player beat them. Right?

In the fourth quarter game on the line. So, yeah, no, that's what defensive guys do, accept the challenge. Sometimes it goes in your favor because guys are really, really good in this league offensively. Sometimes it doesn't. Last night it went in his favor, right? That he was able to get stops at key times on the inbound play, making it difficult for Kaua to get a catch late in the game. Yeah, now, just doing your work early, man. And like I said, playing against guys multiple times and you're a defensive guy, you learn guys' tendencies, right?

You learn what their go-to moves when things get tough. All good scores have them, right? All good scores have their go-to moves. And it's learning those. And I think Draymond did an excellent job at beating Kauai to the spots and making their shots. Challenging contesting shots is underrated, I believe. Challenging shots consistently is a hard thing.

I think Kauai did excellent. And Dremont did an excellent job of that on Kauai. Yeah, no, it's just showing up when your team meets you. And I think Dremont did that last night, and he's going to continue to do that. Yeah, when you're looking at what Dremont? There are two big steals, crunch time, ripping Kauai. It is the, it's like the same player build. Dremont Green has all the attributes.

to contain Kauai, right? Lateral quickness can jump, long arms also. Right? So what Kauai usually does with everyone else, you get that one jibble hit, then, you know, because his arms, long, fingers long, he can still normally shoot that over most, any, you know, guard or wing that's guarding him,

but Dremont at four with long arms too, quicker than them, right? He's going to beat him to the spot and make him shoot more, fadeaways and he wants to. So when I looked at some of the, you know, stats from the past, it looks suggested like this, right, where, you know, you're going to force Kauai to pass the ball, you're not going to take a lot of shots. The shots you're going to take, you're going to be contested. Because I can contest them. Like I'm quicker, faster, stronger than you, right? And some of those builds do neutralize you, right? There's always a guy that just has your number.

and it seems like when it comes to to like Kauai, him getting poked. We've never seen Kauai just get ripped like that, but Draymond got the same. Right, he got that same Arnand. So you try to do that little small crossover. I can get that. Right there?

Yep, I just, let me take that with you. I used to cook them, though. Huh? He used to cook the orders. Yeah, but you know, it's, well, I don't know. But you got to look at when Draymond is guarding, you know, right there. Yeah, where Drayman's going?

Spurs is about to, put them out the playoffs until he got hurt. I was, back then. Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, but I'm just, but if you look at it, right, it's just how, right,

I look at, like, my matchup against Zach Randolph. Right? My match up against Al Jefferson. My match up against Lamarcus Aldrich. My match up against Kate, like, there's nothing like, great players. They're giving people hell out there. two guys, Lamarcus Argers and

motherfucking Al Jefferson told me, listen, man, I'd be busting these niggas in this league ass, dog. I ain't never got the best of you. And you never will. Right? No, because it's just what I do defensively, it matches what they do offensively, right?

So I'm not going for pump fakes. I'm not going to let you Lamarca Ars. I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to swim me. I'm not going to put my arm on you so you can swim and get me able to get to your running hook. I know you're trying to go right shoulder in the post. I'm going to make you go left shoulder.

So I'm going to make you do things. You're going to score, but I'm going to make you do things like Al Jepson. I'm not going for that. I'm not going for that, right? You're going to make a tough area. You're going to make a contestant. You might score that jump hook, but you're going to get it. I'm not going for certain things that everybody else goes for, right?

Draymond is that way. I'm not, he's not going for your go-to move. You're going to have to do something different, right? He's thinking like, shit, I got to do all kinds of shit. You see the amount of that I'm like, Because I'm like, why are you bringing the ball of the court now? I'm thinking right now, getting the ball right here in the wing and trying to one step. Yeah, no, that don't work.

I'm going to get to this shit. Yeah, I'm saying, yeah. Because he's trying to make, if Draymond is going to guard me, he's going to have to pick me up full court. He's going to have to do butt. It's going to make you exert some more energy out here this business walking. I got to do something different. I guess he thought he was fast. Yeah.

But to Gil's point, man, like, like, Draymond knows, like, he's just as quick, He uses hands well. Once you use all your extremities against these really good scores and you learn how to play defense, it goes in your favor, right? You're using everything at your disposal that you have defensively, man. And the best thing Draymond has is this, right? But is that another thing like you going into the game knowing I don't have to do nothing else but try to shut this dude down?

Does that help too? I ain't got to worry about scoring. I'm about to just... I mean, not for him. I mean, what was this stats last night? 7-8-9. 7-9 rebounds. 7-9.

Yeah. So that's a lot. You ain't got to get 20. I'm about here. You don't got to impact the game. But that 7-8-9 is... That's impact. You 7.6, 4's 9 rebounds for the field.

For sure came back because Kauai could have scored 10 points in the point in a point. And don't, but I don't want to diminish what Draymond did. They also went 15 for 21 from the field. 15 for 20 and 4-4. So let's not act like they were bad. They were great offensive. The Warriors were great offensive. We missed fucking five shots in the fourth quarter.

So. He might have long arms to act his hands. But that's not saying, like to be a, like to get out of Draymond's, like his defense, you have to be faster than him. Yeah. Yeah. Got to come a little bit, long, taller, right? So athletic. Like, them guys give him problem.

Yeah, for sure. Right. The guys that, the guy's like, that's what I said with Kawhi, that's the wrong guy. Like, you're, you're, you're. You're a small for a shooting guard, but that's the wrong person on you. Because you can't go try to hit him and do all that. He's going to absorb all of that. Like me, I hated.

I hated that stocky small, right? I hated this start. Like, you know what I mean? Like that stocky small. That move laterally. Mark is. I hate it all. We'll mine them and shit.

I hate it, Marcus. Like, don't guard me, bro. I hate that shit. Like, it was so funny. I used to hate while I used to hate going to get his weapon in the beginning of the game. Because you know he didn't start. So I'm sitting here like, I got to hurry. I'm like 15 before he could.

What? Because you can sell me out when he come in trying to bring the, because he ain't going to let me bring the ball up. He's not. Right. So now I can't just go full speed on nobody. And then Jason, and then Jason, kid. Like I just dreaded those games.

That's when you got to come off screen down. Now, didn't I do a pick? No, I'm like, we're just going to pick the shit out of him. But that's what Kauai should have did, too. Try to get Drake my off. Like, I hate it. Like, if I'm, like, if I'm, if I had Jason Kidd, then I didn't want to do pick and roll because he got King and Jason Kidd, switching off. Yeah.

Now, I love playing against Chauncey, them. Yeah. Right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's not the same. Y'all got a good defense as a team. But I'm not playing in y'all favorite.

Right? I'm not going to be on the wing trying to go one-on-one against him. Conce where you got Chaunce right here. You got Ben Wallace. Hey, hell, no, I'm going from the middle right here. Twan, go here and make Ben Wallace get there. Like, I'd rather have Rip and Twan. You know what I mean?

So that's how I'm attacking them. Right? So I, but because if I try to do a pick and roll, Ben Wallace is pushing me to the half court. So I didn't like doing picking roll when he's in the game. Right? So, you know, you know what neutralizes you as a player. Do what McDice said.

Is that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Should even bring Machine out here, cool. He's gonna try to out smart me. Is that coaching too? What? Like what Steph did with Lopez at the end?

Like, you know who to put it in the pick and roll. No, that's smart. That's smart. That's smart thing. Like, Kauai would be a smart person. Dumb on T. Lou and smart on Steph Curry. You know he's going to attack this stack. Yes, I'm going to attack this stack.

But I don't know why I do that on the other end. He gone and fucking Al Horford. At Hartford got four threes in the fourth quarter. The last one is, you ain't nowhere near. That's what I'm saying. Like, what the fuck is he out there for? But you do that with Al Horford on the other end? But that's you as a player.

But that's the difference between there's a chess move, right? He step probably did the pick and roll and they switched it. All right, I'm passing it. I'm going to say this one for the end. Right? I'm going to say, I got the pick and roll. They're switching it. All right, cool.

I'm going to save it for the end. So what ends up happening is, boom, I get that pig and roll. Now they're not, because if I don't hit him, Boom, boom, boom, boom. Now next time they might call that trap, trap. But they were still trying to trap, he's just attack them. Like, they weren't switching it. If I'm Lopez, I'm standing up.

Yeah, he's just going around. Making them drive. Like, Brooke Lopez is stature. If I'm Lopez, I'm doing exactly what the old people. Under, over. No. Not at that point. Over.

Yeah. Put it down. At that point, trap! You just stay high and let them go to the hole. Like, statue. Yeah. I just, let them go. You send them to the hole.

But hopefully somebody helps. Who? Lopez? You're talking about that three that he took, right? That's why I'm saying high. But he can't even shoot the three. Everybody know he's about to shoot the three. Yeah, everybody knows he's going to shoot the three.

The whole world is still about to shoot the speed. But you stay there already though. Toos, it don't matter what. But he had to be. I don't know you're talking about because I was like, Brooke would have to have been on the ball like this already. When you need a two to win, when you need a two to win, what you do, guard the whole three point line.

Foot speed. He attacked him for a reason. Yes. But he attacked him for a reason. That's on. Foot speed. I know I can get around him. But Lopez got to know that though.

He knew that he was up. No, no. No, no, no, no, Steph went like this. And he, the last, the last one. Let's keep going. Keep going. Yeah. Don't we have.

Lopez. High speed internet hearing. Oh, he did a step back on Lopez. Like Lopez said, no, what's coming at this point. What's coming at this point. Go back. Yeah, that was it. Go back.

Go back. Go back. Go back. Go back. Like Lopez should know. Yeah, this is coming. Night night coming. Everybody knows.

Right now. Stop. Stop. Stop. Go back. Go back. Go back. Go back.

Go back. I'm already. He think he high. Listen. Yo. He think he high. I'm letting him. That's going to say.

He think he high. You're switching it. This is, no. This is brilliant basketball by Seth. Hey, look. That is brilliant basketball by Seth. Hey, look. Lopez, stay up.

Hold on. Rewind it back. He think he is. Rewind it back. This is what makes Steph great. Yes. He reads. Right?

Look, look. Watch this shit. He's played, no, before that pass, go back a little bit. Right? He has to play Steph for the first drop. The only reason that's threw it backwards is because he's stopping it. Now, I'm going to throw it back and come back. No, so look, either way it go.

If you don't get going, he was beat. Yeah. Either way it's going, either way Steph was going right now, Brooke Lopez is beat. I'm attached to Drake my head. He is beat on the first one. So all he's reading is where's Lopez?

It's like Lopez is going to stop me. I'm going to throw it back. And his big ass moment. Oh, shit. Look, so Lopez, look, stay. Lopez stay. Lopez stay. He did.

No, hey. No, get up. Like, we speed. Yeah. I hear you all. But look, look, he pushed off. Okay, hold up. Hey, all the fuck on.

I hear y'all. No. Yes. Foot speed matter. I'm letting Draymond do this shit and go to the phone of that. That's how I am. Cool, but let me ask you a question. I'm going to let Draymond score.

I'm going to make him score. Back a little bit. Back a little bit. Right there, right there. Stop. You make. How many players in this NBA is making that shot? Everybody.

At this moment time. Not a lot. Not a lot. Now go. Every star player. Look at the space. Look at the space. There's not a lot.

of people who shot is that fat. Every star player. No, not every star player. No, no, not every star player. But what I'm saying is everybody in the building know who about to shoot the three. He knew he was about to shoot the three. Brooke Lopez, you don't like, bro, get up. Like, what are we doing? The separation he got?

Brooke Lopez thought he was up. I'm telling you. But, no, go ask him, he will tell you. He played it for the drive. No, he played for the drive. He played him for the drive. He played him for the drive. He stepped back. He could have went buy him when he got to lay up.

That's what I rather that. Anything he wanted in that moment. That three kills like a whole spirit. A tough shot? No, no, no. I do like the first play, though, the comeback, the boom, he already knew he was there and that happened so fast.

That's what fucked him up. He was, oh, shit. Because the boom, and then the got it back, right? He was like, oh, shit. I was beat this way, and he threw that bitch back and the Brooklyn Lopez said, oh, shit. The guard himself has not watched that. enough.

There's tale-tale signs. Steph tells you there's a play he shows there's a move he does that tell you he's coming back to the ball. It is the behind the back path. Yes. Right? Because it's all one motion. I'm coming here. If I'm going to go back that way, I'm passing

it here so I don't have to back up, stop and do this. So it's just one motion. Stop? Come back. So if you are guard and you notice and you know he passes it, you're not going to try to beat him anymore. Right?

You're not going to try. Like if you look at it, he overruns, Steph. That's what ends up happening. Listen, but human nature being used against you at his finest. You're right. I mean, to me, I'm letting

step turn to court thinking go. I know what Steph wants this three, but I don't know. Who else is going to score right here? The play was set up, Stepp whatever it was. Who else going to score right there? Jump, Steph. Not with Brooke Lopez, you can't.

Is it? Jump. But I'm saying, it's easy to say it. Nick, okay. Jump, no, no, no. Let Draymond score. This is the way you're saying. I'm making sure.

Not with Brooke Lopez. But I'm going to make it look like we won't Dreemont and score. No, Mike. Nobody's anybody on me. That's what I'm saying. Thank you. Thank you. Like jumping.

Yes. Like you're right there, I'm like this. No, no, no. No, no. No, no. With John Collins? Yes. Okay.

With John Collins, yes. Let me. Let me. He was playing, but not with Brooke Lopez. Keep going. Keep going. Let me ask you right. Let me ask you right here.

Right, him bringing it up. Right, here, rewind it. Right, go back, go back. He'll bring it up. Rewind it. Jump it. All the way. Wait, wait.

So, I'm like, force him to me. Go back to that point. You're going to see the first. Done. The problem is you're going to jump it now. That's what I'm jumping. I want to jump it. I'm going to jump it.

I'm telling Don to stay this way and I'm jumping. We're chopping them right here and make him a pass. You still don't see what he did. He is going to attack this. Yo, if Brooke Lopez jump out there, I'm telling you right now, he is going to attack him. I want the second. I'm telling you what he's going to.

I want the second jump. Hey. Look, I'm saying they're saying that. On the first play, right? You don't know there's a second one. But I'm not taking the ball out of his hand. What I'm saying is going to do. So I'm going to tell you what he's going to do.

He's going to come off. You're going to jump it, right? Let me. Tell me, Brandon, like, go. Do we have it? I'm like this. I'm like this. I'm like this.

I'm already going to say. I'm going this pick right here. But I'm saying. The pick is here. I'm already. going here so you're already on that side so jump me jump me going to inside jump me jump me you're gonna jump me I'm gonna pass it like this okay right uh-huh no no no what you gonna do oh no no we're gonna let him back a boy make something go

go ahead Drake something go ahead Drake I know do something I know do so mulliver I'm looking at your eye like oh no night night but you got remember I can beat you anyway there's nothing you can do because I'm gonna pass it if you flit you're gonna be on this side of me if you flint it if you flint it If I pass it, you go back, I got the inside of him. Right? Yeah, for the pass. I got the inside of him.

I pass it here. He's not smart enough. The clippers not smart enough. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to make this pass. You're going to be right here. I'm going to go here. This is the peak.

I shot this by myself. That's all that's going to happen. So can we get? Because he removed himself. So can we tap the second? So all I'm going to, he's going to set this beat. All right. He's going to pass it to Dremont.

Right. Now, Dramon is going to just do a hand off. I'm going to move here. Good luck. come up like this, though. Your ass ain't that fast! That's what I'm saying. But that's, hey.

But look, watch, go, play it, play it, play it. You're mentioning the first part of it, though. Like, that's the point I'm making. Stop it, stop it, stop it. So I'm going to come up right now. Hey, look, look at Brooke. Look at the guard. You're done.

Hey, man. He overplays it. See, the guard overplays it. So we're talking hoop, right? Yeah. So we're talking basketball. Mm-hmm. What screen in the last 10 years has Brooke Lopez been up on?

None. I asked you that. That's what I'm saying? That's a better question. Oh, yeah, shit. Oh, yeah, when they played the, uh, yeah, for the bucks for the challenge. Yeah, that's why? Yeah, the run for the championship.

The run for the championship. He went up on the screen in. Yes, he was. No, he was. Go watch it. He's in capable. Go watch it. He was a statue in.

He was a statue in. He was a statue in. He was a statue down. With the nets? With the nets? Statute in. No, he was up. No.

It's one minute left. 17, 1117. But I can, no, let me see you come down. Let me see it come down. Let me see it. Go rewind and rewind. Rewing. Why is he in the game?

Why? They ain't no time out. No, no, rewind this. So there's, go back to the group. So they run this place. So there's eight seconds left. I can tell you right now, yeah.

A great defensive player in the back end would have already pre-switched that. Yeah. Well, I could have. Why is the why Gordon-Horfer? Well, we would have put Brooker. In the corner? He would have been in the corner.

No, what I'm saying is, what I'm saying is, this is what Draymond would have did. Right? That time's winding down. And you can see Steph doing this. Draymond would have ran up there. Get back. Yes, that's what I'm saying.

Why? They don't have that up there. Facts. They don't have that up there. You think you were just going to ISO big man? That defender back there will see. You know how that big man get the running up in there? You can see some teams do it.

Yeah. Yeah. Get back. I'll run up there when you get to the point. Who was supposed to do it then? We do that in a lot. That's supposed to do it. Go out with her.

I do that at 24 now. I'm like, hey, you get him. You can him. I got you. Like, he got him with that little push off. That was supposed to be, Kauai. Put Brooke Lopez in the corner with Al Horford, and you can switch out on Curry if you need to. Like, he let him get him off with that little push off.

We know this. I mean, I'm just saying, God damn. We know what's coming. Hey, everyone knows it's coming, right? Yep. And I've always asked this one question. Okay. On each team, there's one.

One person for sure that works on game overs, the MJs, right? The Kobe's. There's only a few humans on a team that's working on that in the game shots. I can tell you this, Draymond don't spend time talking about three, two. He ain't doing that. He ain't doing that. Under a minute he's not shooting. Under a minute, Draymond is not shooting.

that ball, man. You would have throw that bitch to the basket and kick that mother. I'm telling you. Right to Pazinsky. So I always ask the question is, how do you as a defense keep letting the only person on the court take those shots? That's what I'm saying. Right?

I want to listen, I want you do the game two to one. I want to see it. I want to tackle. Yes. Drain one. Three, two, one. He just talking about the fact, dog. You just.

just stay on this like your second third option is going to be the game winner guy. Yes. I'm not going to let the dude who practice game winners for and living. We're going to put a duo every time. I'm going to put, hey, we're going to face it with two. He was trying to drove

and kick. Just that. So against him, you got to go against conventional basketball thought process, right? Yeah. You can't think inside the box when it comes to Steph Curtain. Right, we were in practice one day when I was with the bucks and Jay Kidd did this, we was practicing defensive out of bounds play last

in the game shit. And he put Janice and John Henson on the fucking ball out of bounds. Guarding the ball out of bounds. Where are you passing the ball to? It's shit like that, right? You come out, you didn't drew something up and we put

two on out of bounds person. This fucking long ass shit, where are you throwing the ball to? That's funny. Right? Outside the box thinking, man, that's what you have to do with Steph. People nervous taking that bitch out. I want to mess up. I hate that shit.

Taking out the ball. Why you got me taking this ball? Taking out the bar. You got to think outside the box, dog. I'd be like, dude, we got timeouts. Make sure I have, we got timeouts. This situation, niggins, hey, triangle in two. And both of them on him.

I'm putting both. We're going to play a zone on the back side. I'm going to face guard him with two people at under a minute. I'm too terrified. We didn't see him do it too many times. Like the game of basketball under five minutes is where the stars are born. If I'm playing OKC, I know who's going to take all the shots the last five minutes. It ain't going to be that.

His team nor him is thinking you need five assists. This ain't Chris Paul. Right? This ain't Brondo. He's a score. So the last five. minutes, make him pass, make the guys who... He averaged six over the year.

Hey, let's see what he can do. You know what I mean? I just be thinking that like, y'all are still playing the best player straight up. One-on-one basketball. Crazy. With the game on the line. With the game on the line. Never.

And they've proven to you time. And listen, the thing is, you got a large sample size to go with. Like, they're winning this match. No matter who you put on them one-on-one. They are going to abuse that person. It's been proved throughout history. Right?

It ain't just started, it ain't just started. He got, it ain't just started. It ain't, it ain't just started. This shit, one-on-one with Larry Bird, one-on-one, Matt, one-on-one, Matt, one-on-one-a-old, one-on-one with this. Like, you name it throughout this, like,

no. If I'm guarding for Brunson, you, listen, you're not, you're not taking no shots in the last two minutes, bro. Okay? You can have 10 assists, cool. Getting the shot up The last person I wanted to get a shot up

Will be you You're not going to sit there Manipulate make my defender look all stupid I'm fake I'm fake fake damn Straight to hell Are you okay He gonna jump

Everybody over that motherfucker Yeah Hey one ain't never Like you know what I mean Like no just How do we not know that though He could be working like You know when I miss it

As a kid when you missed you Oh, there's a foul. It's a foul. Redue, like, come on. You know the shooters. That's all they work off. All right. One last thing we got to touch, and then we will move on to the Magic Sisters game.

So Chris Paul had an unceremonious exit from the Clippers in his final NBA season. CP3 showed there was no love loss between him and his former team. After the game, he posted the following story on his Instagram. Let's take a look, if we can, please. For those who are unaware he was. was applying that he went to his biggest haters funeral just to make sure they were dead. Look, I ain't gonna lie. He did get the last lab.

He should have tapped him on the shoulder. The last laugh ain't even... The last laugh didn't even make the playoff. Hey, you thought he was gonna make the playoff. He definitely got to get his tap back. For sure, he got to get his tap back. He don't got to yet. Huh?

That last laugh is gonna come on when the ping pong ball started to hit. Oh, then okay. and OKC get fired. Because he noted, like, all that losing your asses did. And that motherfuckers, they clippers, second pick in the NBA drive. If I'm Chris Ball, hosting it. Again. Ooh, that hurt.

They had the win. So when they were taking. And you just sitting there like. Oh, so that's why they was fighting like that. Hell yeah. That's why he had a, I had a dream speech. Oh, yeah. No, one day.

That shit bad. We will get out of this playing. Yeah, that shit bad. So what's the lowest they get is 15? No, because it's top 14, right, is lottery. So they get, do they got, do they have a person? Is it 13 or 14? I think it's 13 is the top lottery.

The top 14, yeah. So it's the top 13 is lottery and 14 is right. Yeah, the 14th pick. Yes, the five, the five teams from each conference who didn't make the plan and then those four playing teams that didn't. Yeah, so it's 13 picks. Yeah. 14 in the lottery, but they can... So they can get which pick?

Shit, depending on how to ping-pong ball. They got two first-round picks? No, the one, they get the keep. Who? Clippers. I don't think they were going to keep the pick either way, if I'm not tripping. I think they traded their first round. So this is the Paul George trade.

This is the last kind of remnants of that Paul George trade. There's still a couple, because the thunder flips some of those picks. Some of those picks are still lingering and have been flipped. But basically it was just making sure they didn't get even stronger in the Western Conference, but... There's a way that, like, all of them could play on one team before it go, like Kauai, Steph, KD,

Lowe's... Listen, that would be crazy. I'd be... That would be hard. For real. Like, Steph, Kauai, LaBron, Katie. No, like...

They all... Were they going to the Vegas team? How many years left KD got on his deal? In Houston, he signed a new one, or... They're signed like a serious... They want to play with each other. That would be crazy. Like, I just, like, you know, Guayne here?

Vegas. Hey, Billy has another year player option next summer. You'll get your Michael Jordan on. Hey, I play for the team my own way. That would be crazy because LeBonka could do it this year with Steph if he wanted. What's a ball? Just for the sake of just the conversation, basketball, you know what I mean? That's all it is.

Like, people are like, oh, not eight, they, they say, I don't get that. What y'all talking about? We need that. Like, Michael Jackson. Jackson and Prince should have had an album together, a song together. We, we, we, y'all missed that. In basketball, if they can play together that. Put all the O-Hex together, they got them.

They got them money together, go away. Go buy the Las Vegas team and motherfucking go play. Put all the O-Haz together and John Moran. One Y-N with all the O-Hass wagon. I just tell you, you need it, but you need that, you need the YN to keep them young and fresh. And energy. They try to go out then.

That's 802 and 0 season. I think they, just, just, 802 and 0. You think they can win it? They can win it. They would have to be right now. No, no, no. They can win it.

It all depends on what, you know, whatever they bring. The whole players. The rest of the players they have with it. No. Because they're going to have to play every other game. Well, you think Steph LeBron and as KD can win it right now?

Sure. On one team? You just putting anybody? But the theme I, if you just put anybody like just, like just a, like just a, What's a random? And Kauai?

I said, Steph did Kauai at the two. You got KD or LeBron. How many games are they all playing? They're playing 20 games together. Yeah, they're going to play every other game. That's the crazy ass. They're going to have a baseball schedule. They can play every, a pitcher schedule.

They're going to play every five days. I'm about to say, you know, they're going to be a starting pitch. They play every five days. That's all. That would be crazy, though. That would be all. That would be all. Them jersey.

Them jersey. The jersey. The jersey. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.

All. All. It'd be the highest selling there than ever. All right. Well, let's move on to the other playing game last night. The Magic and Sixers met in Philly in the 7A playing with the winner moving on to face the second-seated Celtics. Philly without former MVP, Joel and B. Still recovering from an emergency appendectomy, he underwent. While the Magic were trying to get back on the right track after tricking off their final game of the regular season against the Celtics reserves,

which costs them home court advantage in this game. So we pick up the action in the second half of this. This one, game got a little chippy, midway through the third quarter, VJ Edgecombe. Got a bucket over Jalen Sucks, put the Sixers up 11. He proceeded to get in Sugg's face. Both teams had to be separated after the play with Edgecombe getting a taunting foul. Desmond Bain. Yeah, man.

Vain will play with him. He can play, man. I liked him in Memphis. So Tyreece Maxie held it down for Philly. He had 31 points in six assists of 42 minutes. Catch come 19 and 11 rebounds. A Desmond Bay. He defended.

I like him. 34 points. Bro. I like them in Memphis. For the Magic team house. You're talking about a player who don't need no pick? Yeah. Look how fast they move.

Palo Bancarro and Rons Wagner both struggled in this one. Bancarro finished with 18.7 of 22 shooting. Game by six turnovers. Wagner had 12 points of 29 minutes. But Magic kept things interesting in the fourth quarter cutting. The deficit is as low as three points. but Maxi scored 11 in the final frame pulling his own

including a stretch with seven straight and he's holding his own Andre Drummond filled the void for Embed had a double double 14 and 10 hit that He made two threes last man

but hit that final three to put the nail in the coffin That's what hard Listen I know I talk shit about He had shooting threes and all that But that's what hard work is Man

Right he used to be the foul guy Like he couldn't shoot free throws Like he on that all time worst free throws list. And for him out of that motherfuckers shooting three. Shout out to Andre Drummond, putting that time in man. Shout out to Andre Drummond.

Yeah, it's full. So your biggest takeaways from the Sixers, play and win over the Orlando Magic. I don't know a game y'all was watching, man. I don't know a game y'all's watching, man. I was trying to see what type of commercial there's going to have at this. This is just came on. This is like free.

With this game? Yeah, it was like, who y'all think was going to be You didn't think Orlando had a chance? No. No. They had like a PINN's They haven't had a chance Since that Cleveland series two years ago.

They had a colon cleanse commercial too, but yeah I know I've seen it. Nothing wrong with getting your calling clip. Like I just is just You thought Orlando had a chance with Palo? He picked Orlando. He said. I'm so disappointed in Pablo and Wagner

Like they took a step back to me this year. Yeah, you know he's one of the worst shooters in the NBA Outside the paint? Who? Apollo? No, man. He was on his projector to be like one of these

Cades and Ant-Mans and he took a step back this year to me. Just because you get picked number one, don't. Well, he's been averaging 20 each year. I understand that. And he's one of the worst shooters that's been outside the paint. He's solid.

Orlando to the playoffs two years in the world. So I'm asking you this. So I got a better question for you, Nick. Is he a number one, though? Like, solid NBA player? Is he a number one? Yeah. Yeah?

I think so. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, I don't. But I think he struggled with. He's better number one than Jay LaGrault. Him and him and what's name is the same player though? I think they struggle with that. They're the same player.

Make their mind up. Is it Wagner or is it? They're the same guy. So that's what I mean. They fire who's number one. But they're not. They neither one. I don't think neither one of my number one.

They're not. I think they really good. It's a. If either one of them had a Tyrese maxi or somebody else on that. Yeah. There you go. or Steph Curry. There you go.

A young dog at the, a John Morant. Yeah, for sure. Give me a John Moran with one of them, a Tyrese Maxie or Jalen Brunson or one of them. I would draft a Pablo if I. No, I mean, you're going to draft. Sure, yeah. Yeah, because the skills.

Yeah, I'm going to say. I was 16, do it. Do what he do? Yeah, but I don't think, like right now, what they are now, I don't think he's a number. Listen, you can do whatever you want to it. Because you can put him at the three to four. He's a match-up problem.

But you need somebody else. Did him and them do you do the same thing? Did the same person? You didn't think that was going to be better than this? Did you think Pablo was going to take that step this year? I thought so. That was last year. The magic had been hustling backwards, swagger.

This year, no. That step was last year. They finished fifth, 23, 24, took the cab to seven. If you look at his, okay, so if you look at him from his rookie season, right, he came out like a Tim Duncan came out, right? You're like, okay, we got something here. What year is this for? This is fourth.

This is fourth, right? You haven't seen the big jump, like that year three to four. That's what I'm saying. Right? So when you sit there and it's like, okay, this year you kind of took a step back from last year, what is it? Right? Your jumper hasn't gotten better, but you're still trying to, you know, get to that right. Like, you're going to drive.

You're going to put the ball on the ground. You're not as fast as we would hope. So you need a guard You need someone who can really get their own thing Like Desmond's going to do his thing But he's not the guard that's going to put pressure To relieve you Like you like Tim

Dunk is going to be great But you did you do need a Genoblee and a Tony Parker Because if they cheat too much guarding you They're going to take advantage of it So you sit there and you try to overhelp Tony's coming through with the spin Genomily splitting, right? So it made everyone still play honest.

No one has to play honest on everybody else because if you're the go-to guy, you're very limited at the things you do. Right? So you need someone to really help your game evolve to that next step if you can't do it yourself. And this NBA is a lot of what, Nick? Pick and roll.

Yeah, for sure, for sure. You're putting a ball in his hand trying to create mismatches. There's no mismatch that you're created with him with the ball in his hand. Right? So you run a pick and roll with him in Wendell Carter, him and Vrons White. We're just switching it, right? You're not creating any mismatchezer.

You're just not. Desmond Bain is his spot-up shooter, right? You're putting the ball in his hands to do what? I think he's pressure from the star for you. And that's what he did in Memphis, right? You had John, you had Jaron Jackson, and now you got him, right? Yeah. I think the same dynamic is needed.

You just replace Jaron Jackson with Apollo. now you need a guard that can go do his thing with him, right? You put him with a Devin Bucke or somebody that can go get one, he's a different player because the ball is in different places now and now he's not the number one. I'm just...

If I'm them... Like them too? Do they get a lot of... I can't get rid of... I can't get rid of my two bigs because... I'm my second. I can play... Think about that. They can do whatever. They can play two, three, four. Like, I'm going...

I don't know if Kobe White is a free. agent, I'm going after that. It will be available, yeah. That's, if I can't get a big, the best guard I can possibly. I've been hired Kobe White. The best Chicago.

Kobe White. Him, there is Garland. One of them dudes, man. Like, yo. Wait, you said you're not trading none of your bigs. So, so Paul on them, you keep. Paul on Wagner, I'm keeping. I got to.

I'm keeping because if I can get a gar and I can do this thing, I got the best, I got the, I got a gentleman. I got a Jilline Brown. I got a option. I got an option two that's going to give me 20 something and he can move like an option one. So right now Apollo's option one in this in his game averaging 26. Hell yeah, I take it every time. If you had to get rid of one.

But I'm not going to get rid of one of them to do what? If you had to get rid of one of them, who would you get rid of them? France. Because I feel like they're young and they're fighting for that number one because some days it look like Wagner to one A, then. I think I can get something for Wagner. I think I can move and get a few pieces. For sure, you get... Yeah, if I'm picking, right?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm keeping follow. And if Franz hurt this year, I'm... Do that, a lot of repik? There's some janky shit. I'm looking right now. I think they own their pick, but it's something... Yeah, they're both 24.

This is just Boston all over. No, I don't do that. That's what I'm saying. No, they are, though. No, what I mean by here is, I have two... Same position. I have two positions that can play alter each other. They play well together.

That part of it. They're both about 23 to 24. I'm not trading them. But are they going to, but I'm not, okay, but the thing is, who's number one? Are they going to get, both you, hey, both y'all are number one? Neither one of them is. But that's what I feel like. I'm going to buy.

Is that why it's the problem? Yes. That's what I feel like. Okay. How do we fix the problem? We need somebody. We need a, I need a, I don't need a number one. I need a guy.

I need a guy at the end of the game. Yeah, we need a guy. Okay. But people didn't realize. But you don't think they want to be the guy at the end. No, no, I don't know. What you want to be. What you want to be is one thing, and what's best for us is something totally different, right?

But, uh, something totally different what we're trying to do around. Orlando company in this season, they was top five. Right? Kevin Burnett, right? Okay. Yeah. People didn't realize at the end of the game, he was a great passer, right? Right?

He passed about, he was too unselfish when it mattered. What made him great, and when he moved forward, is bringing an old-ass Sam Cousel who takes shots at the end of the game. So an old Sam Cousel gets the average 20 being with him. He gets to take all the shots at the end of the game, which then relieved KG. Because KG, you're going to double at the end of the game, and he's going to make that pass.

Now you can't double because Sam Cousel is going to hit the game. those shots. And he's going to take those shots. So if you look at Sam Cassell, his only all-star, average in 20 is with KG because Sam Casale got to be the number one option at the end of the game. And then that's when it took that

leap. Same thing that needs to happen here. You don't necessarily need a number one guy. You just need a guy who moves like a number one in these last few minutes. That's a Kobe White. That's a Garland. Yeah, that's them names, right? Okay, okay.

That's the second team all NBA. That means second team all NBA. Are they looking for a new coach? So give me a motherfucking Derek White. Hey, you can go give me a Derek White and he'll run the show. That's all that's all that's all. Jay and Sucks, give me, no. They look just like me.

Are they looking for a new coach? Oh, who? Orlando. So there's some reports. So reports of turmoil with the magic and a star player. So I don't, I mean, if you look at that roster, there's only one. There's not. There's very many of those there.

But who? With Jamal Mosy, that's just a report. And according to reports, no matter what happens, he's fired. Jamal Mosy is going to be out the door. I cannot confirm nor deny that as the reports. But again, it's not him. I mean, unless those players don't want them, is not him.

You've got to, as a general manager, you've got to know what you have. So you know what to go get. Shout out. There's only a few real basketball minds. That know what they're picking. They know what they're looking at. Right? You know what you're doing.

Shout out John Hammond. I'm true. I'll get it right. You could trade Wagner and get like... They got some good young pieces, though. They got Sugg and Anthony Black. I mean, they've got some guys that... Would you be able to trade like Wagner and Derek White 2.0 and probably somebody else for...

John Morant? Like, you couldn't do that? I could. Or do you want to do that? Or I can see what Kobe White is in the free agency market and I can just sign him as a free agent and keep my four and five because they're only 23 and 24

so I can see what they're going to look like at 2017 right on the way. I'm all in on me. He will be, listen, he will be like, they would be like, yo, is he an all-star? That's that move. Like he's no different than Powell going to Miami, right, where you're like, yo, he could be an all-star right here

because he's going to have everything he needs. And then he gets the floors, like, we can see your tendencies at the end of the game. Right? You are a gamer. You are a bucket hitter. With these two, you get to do that again. Independence.

I need a point guard in a minute. No, you need a point guard. A regular-ass point guard. You don't need a Kobe White. You need a football. The ball's going to be in an airman's hand. No. You need a buddy-d-fisher.

Hell, no. over there. Hell, Lord. I need a younger dairy, you know what? Right? You got a lefty over there. Like, Connie was a true,

you got a true, Connie was a true point guard that has to, like, revert, like, just shoot corner three. That's why. Have you ever noticed that? That's why

man get double team? Have you ever noticed the shooting guards from the eras? Jordan. Who is this point guard? But it's a different. Just sit your ass

in that corner hit a shot. It's different times. Who is all Kobe's point guards? Sit your ass in that corner. Same thing. with LeBron James is. Kobe also had a six-hand point card. But I want to put the ball in my best player's hand.

So the ball is going to be in the Jordan as a majority of the time. So I don't need a guy out there playing Chris Paul. Sit your ass in that corner. When Steve Nash got there, when Steve Nash got there, and Kobe got to sit around and he's sitting there like, it's different time.

What offense you're running? This ain't going to work. It's different time. It was. It's a different time now. Watched Steve. Watched Steve Nash, four picking rolls. Star power in this area, I feel like...

I need to go. Like, Minnesota, need to go get Fox. No, no, no, I need the ball in my best player. Go get Fox. I need the ball in my best player's hands. Yes. Yeah. That's always been this game.

I'm going to get... It's always... I need somebody that knows where the ball need to go when the ball need to go there. Right? That's what like... I need somebody in no time scoring situation, no, and make a corner three. The reason... You got more...

You got Bones Island? Bones Island want to score, too. Amen, like, out there. They're going to be second round of out of course. Swing it. They're going to be second round exit, first round exit, until they get another star, like, out there in Minnesota. In this era, it's a lot of star power in this era.

They have a weird team. That's what I'm saying. It's a lot of star power in this era. Minnesota got a weird team because they have a good-ass pieces that have, that have they have accolades right like I know what I'm going to get

I'm going to get a top two defensive player and Rudy don't know what it's going to be but I know he's going to be ranked one two or three right I know I'm going to get that I'm going to get it man him's going to do what you

Julius Randall he's going to give me 20 then I got defensive players that little hybrids but I'm not getting it done you need a bucket is because you need to either go defense

or got to go off right? You're sitting in this middle ground. So either you got to get real of Julius and get someone who can play not a better side of basketball, but needs to put more production inside the game, right? Your 20 points is usually 20 points. And it's going to be a one-on-one 20 points.

It's going to be a 1990s 20 points. It ain't going to be in the offense. It's going to be like, all right, instead of swinging and swinging it, the ballstopper. The swing and swinging. He's a good ballstopper. He's a good ball stopper. I love but that's what I'm saying.

But I don't need it on. You need like a Kobe White. Yeah. That release pressure. No, it's the same thing. It don't matter who I got. If it gets to Julius, it's going to stop. Julia, because he got a massage that thing in order to get his shit off.

He got a massage. He got a massage. He got a massage. He got a main thing. Hold on now. They double team. They double team. He got to give him.

To Julius. But he can't really, he could score, but he, he's not. He's not. carry the team. But I got, you doubled them, I passed it as Julius. The three men is, the three is open. And he's going, bruh. What did Melo become because they said it was a problem?

Catch and Shoot guy, right? He had to become a catching shoe guy in order to stick around. Because it was the same. That's a great thing. I got to, listen, in order for me to be mellow, I got to be able to jab stepping motherfucking. I got to, same thing with Julius Roundup. I got to be able to put this body on your body.

And I got to be able to get to this. Like, I got to be able to get to this motherfucking left. Yeah. Like, really, like, elite at it. Mello was elite at it when he was doing it, of course. Julian Reynolds was a really good, like, do-de-do, but it's... Take his time. I got to, hey, I got to.

Timberwood, back-to-back Western Conference Finals. No, I get it about the two-and-eight. But the reason they don't get over the top is because... Another two years. There's just plays in games. If you just look at the series, there's plays in games that are made that takes you over the top, right? that extra swing like you know what I mean that like stuff right got that switch before didn't do

nothing with it then boom like there's plays that need to be made that's unselfish and it's not made when you need them to be made sometimes to get your 20 you got to give up the ball a couple more right I swing it this swing and I see a guy over there let me let me they came hard here Let me throw it there. Let him shoot the ball. So next time it happens, this guy stunts to go run there. Now I get to shoot this. No, you have to give up some.

You have to give up five points to get 10. That's the great team guard up. Play the game within the game. Yeah. Like Draymond. All stand. Play the game within the game. Draymond Green can get any three he wants at any time because he's been, he's done past the ball so much in this game.

He can take 10 wide open threes. He can make eight in a row. They still gonna give him the next two. The backpack child. They still gonna give him the next year. You know what? The backpack. Because they know he gonna do this.

Yeah. Dribble hand off. They know he's gonna do. They're programmed to do that. Crazy. It's programmed to do. No, it's just what it is, man. You need glue guys.

They don't have a glue guy on the team. He's sacrifice everything. I love that. A conversation about the Magic Sixers playing game, shifted to a Timberwolf conversation. Yeah, I understand. No, no, no.

No, no, don't go, don't go back to Philly. Don't go back to. Philly. You're talking about no Philly. You're home to Bel Air. You got a chance to do what? Without Joelle? Without the NBA?

Without the NBA? Without Joe. That line up is nice. So you're talking about they got a chance right now, but you want them to trade them. First of all. But don't they have history of beef, though, Boston and Philly? No, that's not a history of beef. plays in those games.

Yeah, but it is history. No, it's not, it's history. If getting your ass whoop their ass every time I see it. It's history. But then it goes seven? I don't get fucking what it went. Have they beat him yet? No.

That was when he was helping. You're going to be a rivalry. The other team got to win, son. They match up good. No, they don't. They ain't matched up with George, Jason Tatum, similar. You got a bunch of long people. They had Jimmy, they had jelly,

over, they had Fis. They didn't have everybody trying to run up in Boston, got their head beat in every single time. Get on the same. Get on back. That's why the meeting process. It's still processing. That lineup matches up. You don't think.

You don't get, G. Kelly Uber. Jimmy Buller. Ben Simmons, the defense of Ben Simmons, the real Ben Simmons. First team all the defense, Ben Simmons. They didn't have all that going into Boston. But Ben, Simmons don't score, though. Then?

He did everything. That's a crazy. Ben? But you got a janky leg title? What you mean? They got, Philly got a guy with Pinnocytus, ginger itis, gingibitis,

Monocitis. He got all the cytuses. It's time to get rid of it. He got all the cytuses. He got all the cytuses. Well, let's leave Philly and we'll head over to Belize. Tendocytis. You know what so funny?

You know what's so funny? I understand what Philly's going through. Oh, shit. Because as much as I was want to trade them, I don't think I can't. I don't think I would be able to be on the phone and then have a conversation of trading them. He's top ten in the scoring.

You're like, if you're going to go down, you're going to go down here. I ain't going to let you leave and go have a better life. No, you're going to take my cheating ways. You're not going to go with another man. They're going to treat you good. You know, sit your ass and hey, baby, I'm sorry. I do every day you need me to do. You don't want to be there

No one. Yeah, you're going to ride this one out, brother. You're going to ride this one out, brother. You're going to ride it out. I know this shit rough. Hey, put your seat belt on, god damn it. Shit, we've been riding with you. You've been driving?

You've been driving? Oh, hey, move over, god damn it. Put your seat better on, get comfortable. This is going to be a fast, rough ride, young cuffs. I've been treated everybody for you. Because Tommy Max is driving this bitch. Now it's going to be a fast, rough ride, damn it.

It's going to be fast. They're going to be moving. Let's keep this thing. We got some breaking news coming from Shams. The NBA, NBPA have ruled in favor of Luca Donchick and Kay Cunningham on their extraordinary circumstances challenge for the 65-game award rule, making both eligible for all 2025-26 season honors, including MVP and all NBA teams.

Luke appeared in 64 games when his second scoring title average in 34 points, eight assists, eight rebounds. Slovenia and Jesus missed two games back in December to travel to his homeland for the birth of his daughter and missed the final five games of the regular season with a hamstring injury he suffered against the thunder. Kade appeared in 64 games, average 24 points, 10 assists and six rebounds,

helping Detroit take the top spot in the east and reach 60 wins for the first time 6, 2006. Cunningham missed 11 games after severing a collapsed lung early in the game against the Wizards on March 17th, but returned faster than expected for the Pistons. three games of the regular season. Anthony Edwards played a 61 games this season, also filed a

challenge. His case was advanced to an independent arbitrator. That's crazy. Denied. I hate the black man. So he's not eligible for a war. He hate the black man. He had a dream too, man. He filed a wrong. He had a dream. No. He had a dream. No. If he would have

64 games, he would have a better chance. He had 61. He got run his knee. Runners knee A man dealing with runners knee What the fuck is runners knee man He's been running Yeah what is that

Jumpers knee they probably just changed Is it change the name of it Probably Tentanitis I deal with Wander's Tinnitus That's what it has I think they gotta be

How many games he got 61 But one of them games He played like 15 minutes so they didn't count it You get two like 15 to 20 minutes He got two of those Is the shit just Enough

He got two of those So he really got like It's too confusing We didn't be playing 16 minutes 64, but he played the NBA Cup Championship. Those stats, and that game don't count. But the game. But the game count.

Listen, I'm sure they'll figure it out by next year. They're going to have to. They'll figure it out by next year. But what's your reaction to the league ruling in favor of Luca and Cade Cunningham, allowing them both to be eligible for all NBA teams this season? I love it. I love the idea of flexibility. You're putting something on to the players.

And the idea of... you have first-team all-NBA players in these performances, and they miss this, and the person that's going to replace them, is not in the same category, right? That is a hard pill to swallow for an athlete. I missed it by one game. I'm leading the league in scoring.

Now, number two gets to be number one, because he played one more game. Right? It's just one of those things where that's 65 and that 64, it can be just black and white, right? So I'm glad they used the gray area here and found a way to make it right. So everything kind of falls in line, right? Because you got to remember, with so many people out, these are first teamers. These are first.

We're not talking about the third team. We're talking about the first team. So that means people are getting awards that they didn't, they didn't earn. they really didn't earn it and they can just be, I can get it over you and I just have one game but your stats are just dominated mine.

Like we were on the same planet and I just didn't like the idea. So I appreciate that they kind of like you know made an adjustment because it would to me like when I first heard about it

and you know what I jump into owners standpoint do I like? like it or not. How does this benefit me? How can I rip out more black? I want to you know what I mean? Well, you like it when it benefits you. Like, no, like, I'm just trying to figure out like, so that's how I think like, okay,

how can this benefit me? Because obviously, that's what I want as an owner. Right? And it's little things like this. I'm going to sit you out a little bit longer. Right? I'm if I don't want you to get this Supermax, I got to do things behind the scene to make sure you don't get it. That will be my stance.

But not in this case, though. Not with them. You want to sign them for whatever. No, no, no. I'm going to be there's what my match. What I'm saying. Them two are exempt. Them two exempt. Right?

Because now you're talking about like someone like Duren. That was my point. So this move actually helps the Pistons. Cade already got his bread. He's going to make the all-NBA team. Duren was kind of one of those fringe guys. Potentially be able to make a third team. With those two now making it,

it seems like he has the potential to get pushed out. But he could possibly get pushed out. First team. Now you're going to have the same thing with, with Memphis had. You got Jaron Jack, I mean, you got during making the team, now he unlocked Supermax. Now is he a supermax player?

Still going to get 220, 240. That's cool. Hey, I'm, I hear you, but. I like you. I like that 145. You know what I'm going to be doing? He gets two to. I know.

He gets his two. He gets two. Yeah, we want you at 210, but I don't, but the problem is. The first team, hang it. I don't want you. That's the thing. I don't want you arguing for $3.50. But then you pushing that number, and I'm sitting in your, trying to make a decision.

Now who gets it? Ant Man should have made it too. He's third leading score in the NBA. 661 games. But there's no insinuating circumstances that he had to deal with. Right? There was, trust me. No, no, no, go look how many games.

So are there some games before he had runners knee, right? Or there's some game before he had runners knee that he set out, right? Are there some game? I haven't looked at it. He's like 79, 7. But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about this shit right here, Nick. But that's a little game.

This season right here. There are some games that he could have played that he didn't play. If there are, you have to, so that's my thing with it, right? So we talked about this before, right? If you're available to play, play. Because at any given time, something can happen. Yep, yep. Kay Cunningham, collapsed along, like, puncture lung, like, you don't think some shit like that going to happen.

Like, you fall on, somebody, fall on you, punch you. So you got to play every game. that's available in my opinion. So let me just read Shams released a statement from Anthony Edwards business manager. I said Anthony and I appreciate

the PA appealing his case. For me personally, I'm a bit confused at the clemency for Cade whom is time for something that happened on the court and not Ant who missed time for an infection. But ultimately, you already know

Ant isn't tripping over it at all. He wasn't mad. Infection? When? When he missed games? Which games was that? I think if he had some of those games, that's why I feel.

I'd have been like that. Man, you see my baby mom. God damn. This is a headache right here. Every goddamn, every time I score a goddamn bucket, she wanted to talk. I don't. I was to get rid of it. You know what I mean?

You got to do something for me. I'm definitely using that. I'm not tripping at all. Like in the past, I look at it like this. Yeah, tripping. I look at it like this, and it will suck to do it, but it has to be considered. Yeah. Today's rules or the rules,

rules that are that's evolved, the record books have to be evolved to. Meaning, if you look at someone like Isaiah Thomas, right, he don't have a bunch of all NBAs because they only had two then, right? So should they go back and take those votes and extend it to three teams? I would have to because history is, history is on it. Because now, remember, all NBA is all NBA. So now you got a player here, he can have 14, third team all NBAs. They're going to put, as a guard, they're going to push him in front of Isaiah Thomas,

which they will be zero in Isaiah Thomas this time. Just like first teams, right, where you have, I think Shaquille O'Neal was, he was runner up to NPP, but made second team all NBA, because obviously the person in front of them is a center too because they changed it now because of the Jewel and Bedeas, but that happened all in the 90s. The best players was big. So you got top three MVP, one is in the third team.

You may have benefited because you played a weaker position at league. Yeah, so it's like, I don't want to, it's hard taking something away from somebody who wasn't there, but it's like, man, it's just history is not what it really is. Because now you can put two sinners. But has it ever been then is the ultimate question, right? We sit here and debate all these accolades. I wouldn't have never changed that because I would have never changed that because the big men who fought and the big men who, the big men's who were elite fighting for MVP.

You're talking about David Robinson, Hakeem, Shaquille O'Neal when they were battling. Patrick Ewan, when they were battling. Alonzo Morning when they were battling. Remember, some of these guys were. top 10 players in the league didn't make the team because four centers, three centers is in front of them. Now those guys are second teams. So a lot of those guys didn't get all MBAs and won't have it on their resume because of

the rules that were then, but these guys get it now. And it just, it kind of helps arguments when we're talking about these things. Just like Bill Russell and the finals MVP's. don't know how many he would have actually won if it existed in or blocks. Because I can tell you from history, the block champ or the quadruple double champ is Bill Russell. I mean, not Bill Russell, but Will Chamberlain. He will be technically the real one because he was averaging, what, 14 blocks a game.

That shit, crazy. You know what I mean? Come on. Like, you know, because certain things wasn't in then. 44, 30 and 20. So we talked about the 65 game thing a lot, but you look at, I think Amman played close like 300 more minutes in the regular season than somebody like Wimby. Should it be minutes including that?

Then you got Bruce Brown, right, played all 82 games. So what this allows them to do now, you can keep your 65, right? Whatever. If they're going to keep the 65, they have to keep the 65. But that fine print up underneath the sub, they have to. spend. They have to reevaluate that, right? For different things now, right? Minutes played.

Like certain things, right? If you, if you are out of averaging 42 minutes a night and you play 61 games, then then you, then it's that's a different conversation, right? So you put, so now the bottom lines are 300 minutes more

than Wimby. See, that's what I'm so. Yeah, see, that now players. Players, like if you're a player about it. You're arguing. I understand that. Right. I'll fight for Anthony Edwards in that regard right now. His 61 games, he played 300 more minutes than the guy that played six. I'm with him, right? You're going to fight for him in that regard with that.

Yeah, because he got it. Winby was 1866 and 2137. Yeah. He didn't play this up. Right? Yeah, he played the lowest. So I'm playing 35 minutes a game. Winby playing like 29.

So that's, I take that in it. So now you have to take that into consideration with the arbitration thing. Because every eight games I'm playing in sent him. So what should be in all first team then? Now that they're... You got Yokish, Wimby, S. No, no, no. You got Pree?

Shalynab. No, Jalen Brown? No, Janet Brown? You got Jokin'N. Five people. Yokin B.S.J. It seems like the locks. Joker, K.

Jalen. Okay, hold on. Go ahead. There's only one position that two people can fit. Luca is one. No, you crazy is hell. The leader scored NBA in top one.

Wimby won. But Jalen Brown did is more impressive. Okay. You let the league averaging 33 is more impressive to me? Okay. So you're going on. No, what you did before. Tatum came was impressive.

Shade Nicola, Luca, and Wimby. Wimby and Kay. I'm going. The Cade and Jaylon Brown are going to fight for it. They're going to fight for it. They're going to fight for them. No, I think they might go with Kay just because I picked the first. You're going to go with Kay.

You're going to go with Kate. Because they're first. Because everything they've done. Yeah. From where they came to what they've done this whole season. They're first in the conference. You're going to probably. And they're first in the country.

Okay, Nike guys signature shoe. Lucas's second team to me. I know he's second team. He's the second team. He's the league in school. I'm just letting you know what it's going to happen. He had the league in school. Jalen Brown did is more impressive to me, I think.

No, it's more impressive. I would put Jalen Brown first team with Lucas. I'm not fighting. I'm not fighting with Jailen Brown being in. He said that last time. He said that last. Or Kay. I'm like great

Right either one first team Everybody's like great I know I'm like great either I'm not But which one if it got to be If they both kind of get either one Who will be second team? You're the bouncer at the club

They both pull up Well the thing Who can make first team I mean you gotta go Jalen Brown They made first They finished first in the conference So you said this is finished first

But I can tell you Celtics finished second without Tatum Like Yeah Both have an argument I'm just saying Did they finish second without Tatum? Yeah

Or did Tatum come back and help him clinch second? Yeah, that's all. You got to remember. He still had 40 points in the game. And when Cade was down, the positions were like 8 to 4 or whatever was, so they held on. I'm just saying, they still held on. They both have an argument, don't. You're not.

I don't care either way, but I'm just saying, like. Tatum coming back, giving a little energy in helping, didn't help Jaylon's argument to win something. Because now you got another player that's impacting win. and it's just not solely on you anymore, right? And that just, that, that will, that was, that would change a voter's mind. Right, Kay didn't get nothing new. But they, he didn't get nothing new. But team, right?

She didn't get nothing new. They lost a player. You got back a player, right? So like if, let's say 20 games ago, uh, um, Jason, too. No, no, no, okay, C. Jay, William Williams comes back and he, he's putting in that work and they're helping them win. It will win against Shale a little bit.

No. It does. No. It does because you're counting it before the wins counted for you by yourself. You can't say that one way. And then when it goes to Murray and Joker, when Joker's out now, Murray's a all-N-B-A player now because he's kept the flow of winning.

Yeah. He's never still won when Joker was out. So when Joker comes back, so Murray don't be the same guy. Murray don't be the same guy? Was he first or just all NBA? Oh, he's going to be all NBA. He was an NBA. He was an All-Star this year.

So he don't be that. Even though Joker come back, they still stay the same spot. Now think of it in reality. Was he that when Joker was there? Still the same. No, was he there? But he wasn't considered that guy. When Joker left, he takes on the load and he's showing that he's this type of player.

He got the attribute. The team still wins. Yes, he's winning. And he's by himself looking. great. It's the same thing with Jalen Brown, but reversed. He's looking great, and then the player comes back.

So like, hey, that's not. So like, no, it's not. So like, what's the name? It didn't help, it didn't help his case. Just like when Murray was there with him and he was doing the same thing, no one looked at him. So Pistons were 13 and 5 without

K this season. Celtics were 9 and 2 without Jalen Brown this season. So I'm just, like, it seems like it's a wash. Yeah. I'm saying it's not a year no it's not because nine and two who looked better when Cade was out but Jennifer Brown played the bulk of the season without Jason Tatum right and still had the Celtics his numbers are still I'm I'm in the conversation because of what I'm doing Jason Tatum got here I'm in the conversation because I'm holding the fort down right I'm by myself

when he gets that means I'm getting everything by myself now when we're talking about three for it. I'm in that conversation, top five. And then Jason Tatum comes back and he's putting in his work. Gotta remember when Jason Tatum came back, who was the star? Who was people talking about? Jason Tatum. So the sun is being taken away

from me. I'm not getting watered as much as I was. But for number two. While everybody is still getting the same amount of water. Wimby's getting more water. Shay's getting more water. Yolk is just getting his water. My water is being dimed because Tatum came back. No, they're still the same spot and I'm still got the same numbers.

Numbers are consistent. Yeah, like, nothing changed. You're still number two, my numbers still the same. Your numbers are still the same. 20 games shouldn't deter where niggins thought I was going to be in the lottery. Now I'm number two. Your numbers are still the same. You should say number two.

Like that's, that's, what affects that? How did that affect 20 games when I, in the 60 games, is the 65 games that's the limit? Yeah. And no, that amount of games I was number two. was number two. Yes. Yes. He comes back.

I'm still number two and my number is still the same. The drop off then come like when Joker came and Murray dropped off and Joker went back to number one. No, Brown stayed at number one. Tatum Fitts trying to find his way. You act like he came back as Joker

still average a triple double. He was out there trying to find his way. Who? Jason Taylor. Joker came back and oh, I'm still Joker. I'm the triple double king. But he was already in front. See, you're not

missing the point. This is not about Yokage. When Yokic was there, there's no Murray. No one's talking about Murray. Murray made his name when Joker's out. So Murray looked good. Now think about Brown. Now think about Brown. Brown looks good.

Yes, like Murray. Now does Murray look good? Wins Jokers back? Ah, he's doing the same thing. But he's doing the same thing. Okay, let me ask you a question. Murray's doing the same thing. But are people talking about Murray now. He's a,

he might be 13, yes. He might be. He's a all-thor. He should make a... It changed back because we're talking about Yolkidge as the MVP, just like Tatum, right? Tatum comes back.

The media is talking about Tatum and Tatum is this and Tatum's coming back and this and this. So you're not giving the sunshine to Brown like you were before. The fact of, Contantam come back and made them talk about them in a contender way.

Like, they're going to make the finals. They ain't talking about, oh, they're talking about Jaylon Brown, still Jaylin Brown. Just state it. There are a contender. He comes back. They're contenders. Like, Joker come back. There are contenders.

I don't get how one could make somebody else fall and the other one raise somebody else up. But they were still in the contenders talking even without Jason's head. In terms of the east. You got the top two team in the east? How about this? Where is Brown that now? and the MVP voting. He fell out of the top five.

He's been doing the same thing. Right? He's been balling. They've been winning. But where is he at? I think, let me see, there was only the... Maybe four. They don't have to be updated during the posting.

He was still top five. Wait, he's four? As a... No, nobody won't Jaylon. As a March 27th, let me double check. MVP and be the face of the NBA. Jaylon Brown? Just a controversy he stays in?

But I don't want it. Just where was he before? Five. Tatum came and where is he at? Because it's five. He's staying in the five range. He was still in the... Up to the last one that they released.

What was the last one? So last one had Wemby and one, SGA, 2, Yolkesh, 3, Luca 4. What was the doubt? That's the one you made for that. Luka 3? It was Luca 4. Winby jumped out of nowhere, though. Wimby wasn't in the discussion in the beginning.

He jumped out of nowhere, though. I'm saying. Of course somebody else going to go back when. Because this guy jumped in the conversation. Whimby's been four or five the whole time. No, Winby ain't never, I'm just saying guys. He's, no. Hold on. No, he's. I'm just saying it's just. It's just been in the top

five. Somebody, when someone comes back, if it's the best player or another star, it just dims your light just a little bit. It's just going to suck because he has been playing like like, like you know what I mean? He's been playing first team all NBA. That's not the question. The question is was he all NBA? He was playing first

team all NBA. Yeah, he was. It's just those other two guys. But they look at it in the end. Like those like, those like, I mean, it's last 10, 15 games. Everybody's like, oh, well, you know, they get to make the excuse.

Oh, yeah, Tayne, I'm helping you a little bit. Finished off right. March. That's what. March 18. It's a voter. I mean, Taylor's has some games. Since March 18.

It's a voter. So what do voters do? I think April 3rd might have been the last one. It was, it was. Since March 18. I mean, 13, 30, 29, 31, 29, 29, 29, 49, 29, 23, 26, 26, 35. And did you hear about it?

Man, that's nothing changed. That's what I'm saying. Listen to what I'm saying. Yes, you heard about it. We like Austin is scary. Or did you hear about Tatum in his performance? No, we heard about Boston. Self's about being in the finals.

Who did you hear about? You just read those numbers, but when we're hearing the media stuff, they're giving you the update. Not on who's been bawling the whole time. You're giving an update on Tatum's performance. It's taken away. Jaylen Sting.

Just like Yolkes comes back and they're talking about 65 games and triple doubles and it, it just took away what Murray's doing. And that's all I'm saying. So when you're voting for something, it's, I forget you easily. Murray's. Because another name came. We'll be 13 for the first time.

We'll see. Who's the second team? Kauai. Kauai. Kowler. Jailen, Norwoodson. Oh, Donovan Mitchell. Donovan Brunson. Bronson, that's three.

I mean, probably Jalen Brown. I mean, Jalenoran, going to make an all-N-B-A. Kauai, Donovan, Brunton, that's three. Jaylon Brown or Lucas. Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant. So three should be what.

Ant-Man should be in three at least. No, he can't. He can't qualify. He can't qualify. He can't qualify. He can't. He can't. He can't do it.

I'm about to keep sitting in action. What are you? Fuck, I'm playing. How many more game minutes? I'm going to keep redo it. I'm going to do it. Jamar Murray is all NBA, man. He has to.

So Jamal Murray is a 13th, yeah, Jalen, Durran. 13. Yeah. So all these people move in now, oh shit, Tyree Maxie. You got Jaylen Johnson who at a, I forgot. So now you're moving Booker and fucking, get your way. I'm just saying he can figure it over Durham. Demi, didn't, wait.

It's first team. Dimmie from Portland. I know, I get it, but I'm just saying, no. I'm taking Duren over Jalen Johnson right now. You gotta go, Demi, Demi. Demi going to make it now? Who? Yo, that third team is in a lot of.

He's not making an all NBA team. Think about it. Denny is not making all NBA team. I got Tyrus Maxie making it. He's not making all NBA team. Second team is Maxie, Brunson, Donovan. One of Cade or Fahman Brown is going to make a team.

And Kauai, that's five. They're going to make 10. So the next is, you said. Denny is not. Let's go with the guarantees. The guarantee will be. Katie. Kay, Kevin Durant.

He's making second team or 13. Kawai. Kawhi Leonard. Kaylon. Jalen Brunson. Third? I'm just saying second or 13. I'm either one.

I'm just thought the rest of the best of the rest that didn't make first team, right? Yeah. What about that? Jemar Murray. Tyreece Maxie, Jamal Murray, K.D., Kawha Leonard, Jalen Brown or Kate. That third thing is going to be nasty. Booker. Devin.

Booker got to make it now. See? No, not making it now. No, just, have the booker? I mean, he wouldn't have made. And all the business of shit. Oh, no, the votes is already in. Yeah.

So then we got to make it too. James Hardin, Donovan Mitchell. I don't know if Buck is eligible. Let me, see, four games. He's, 64. Let me say, 64 games. So if he's not eligible, then just think about it, right? Then you got Duren.

I ain't counted him yet. James's not eligible, though. James Hart? Yeah, ineligible. Booker, D-Book, I only play 64. Okay, well, them two notes. So that's two more spots. So that increases your guy chance, Nick.

That's what I said. Without them two guys. That's crazy, bro. That increases. It's going to be nasty work, bro. That helps all of them. That's going to be nasty work, bro. Murray.

That's that third time. I think Jamal Murray is a lot no matter what. I think Jamal Murray is a lock for third team all-N-Bee. I see that too. But it does help that Anthony Edwards is out Booker. Absolutely. That helps his. case. Because they will be on

second team no matter what. A lot of people cases in those other two wouldn't have been some other if Luca and if Luca and um... If Luca and K was out it would have been, whoa. The vote is done a week before the season's over with it. I think I don't don't know because we had to wait for

you had to wait for Luca. They got the two they put in and they're just going to remove those two but the vote was already in. Okay. I think vote has to be after the regular season ends unless something triple. It's after or be isn't it like a week so they wouldn't so the last game can't

I thought it was like before the last game He got a shot So last game Here's a shot That's what I'm saying That third team will be crazy But murder They probably get the balance in the hands

I don't know if they'd pick Jalen Duren Or Jalen Johnson for third team I'm going Jalen Duren because what he impacted When Kate was out He did his and all I'm gonna put I'm gonna give him that nod over

Jalen Johnson I mean you put that But you Do you put towns in him? No. He played 75 game? I don't. He could.

I mean, he could. He could. He could. I can tell you this. It's a possible. I can tell you this. It's a regular. That's great possibility.

I can tell you this. It's a great possibility. As your owner, if I'm Portland, it looks good if it's two Knicks in it. No, I like dude. It look good if it's two nicks. I like dude from Portland. I know.

I like them. I like them, too. They better. I like them too. I just don't like them for $300. I like them for $2.40. I don't like it for... That's what I'm saying.

Like, really think about it. No, I get it. I get it. I want you. No, you got that fierce... But I don't know if I want you for $3.50. I love you at $2.50. Boy, you look great at $2.50.

You don't get it too. You know, and that's... Well, the all NBA teams will be released in the near future, and we will have a lot more debate and discuss. We have one last thing we need to get to, before we wrap it up for the day. So the final round of the playing tournament

Friday. Throughout the playoffs, we will be making team picks using underdogs prediction markets which you can do as well. We'll keep a leaderboard of the couch's picks

throughout the entire playoffs. So let's take a look at the updated standings. Good basketball conversation today, fellas. Nah, I would. That's what the fuck? Oh and four, what the fuck? You just say you're on.

You say you're going on. Man, fuck that. Y'all both a vote. Y'all can't stay at one and one. Nah, hell no. Y'all picked somebody yesterday. I know you wanted somebody win. You picked the clippers.

in your mind, no, you picked the clippers, you picked the clippers. No, we didn't even get a chance of here. But nobody thought Oakland was going to, I mean, the Bay, the Warriors going to win. Nobody gave us a chance. They didn't ask me, my opinion. Yeah, I'm going to say, I would have sent one in. Realistically, I'm about I said, I would have sent one.

You were going to pick the Warriors. Did anybody pick the States? I would have picked Philly. Somebody asked me else there. I was sitting there. I said, I would be two and two and two. I'm about saying, I would have been three and one because I would have been three and one. I would have been three.

No, you wouldn't have. I'm definitely going to. We are. You better repeat. You see all that step courage in the house? You wasn't going to see that. You didn't even think you were playing. I would have went on my theory and I would have went so I'll be two and two.

But lucky for me, lucky for me, they didn't do it so I get to get an extra win. So you want mine? I'm going with the sons. And who's next? Let me do my job to wrap up the win. I know who won a lottery pick. I know who wants that lottery. Low managing for most of the episode.

In the east. We got the Hornets. I'll make the trip to Orlando after the magic loss of the Sixers. Winner of this game will go on to face Detroit Pistons in the first round. The Hornets with a 61% chance to win. The Magic are 39% of the underdog prediction. I'm going Charlotte. I'm going Charlotte?

Hell yeah. I'm going to Orlando. Oh, and five. Oh, and five. Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Orlando. Charlotte to win. I'm going to stay 0 and 6th. Put him in the bathroom.

No, I want Melo to be in the playoffs. I'm going with Orlando because I'm Hey, man, I'm telling to get a little legend. Oh, I've been wrong on there. He said, I've been wrong. I've been wrong on this line. I'm going to Atlanta.

If you miss every single pick, you also get a prize. My dog. We have another roach that we happily put forward. This is the roach. We killed the roach that was here earlier in the week,

but his cousin is still lingering somewhere on the set. I got our, let's see if you can find it. We got Charlotte. All right, so we got Charlotte. All right. So, next we have,

Warriors. sons you have Steph and the Warriors got the win over the Clippers will now travel to Phoenix, take on the Suns for your champion. We all got a little opposite. To get swept by the thunder. Bay Area! The Suns are the favorite in this matchup.

59% to win. Warriors are at 42%. It's Michael Dunley, baby. It's Michael Dunley, baby. I nose my Dunley. I know some of my Dukes. Those ride the wheel. I got the bay.

Let somebody fall on their ass. I'm going to pick the... Choo ass in the back. I'm going to go with the... Oh, man. Now, I know what your children? Go on your phone, what you're going to say? You did all that preaching earlier today.

I ain't talking about I would have Pete the Warrior. I definitely against the clip. No, see, God don't know. I'm going to go with the sons because Devin Booker's legacy on the line right here.
