Starting point is 00:06:41 First of all, if you knew Cat had a live show in L.A. on Saturday, which is May 4th, boom, you should have ordered in your mind the computer. You know that computer
Starting point is 00:06:50 data you got? Yeah, you know that? I only plug it in when it's on. Don't go on. Oh, yeah. It should have went off and said,
Starting point is 00:06:56 you know what? You know, Aguila already in L.A., so I'm going to invite Aguila and I know Ocho will fly out here. Boom. We could have watched
Starting point is 00:07:04 Cat Williams and then did the show late on that night after the Canelo-Munguia fight. Like, we could have knocked out two birds with one stone and really talked about the Cat show on the Saturday show and boxing. But, you know, that's how I think. But I guess that's how you feel about us.
Starting point is 00:07:21 It's cool. That's how you think it. Don't hurt yourself doing that, though. It ain't too late, though. I'm just saying because today's only Wednesday. All right. Hey, again, Cat Williams has this special Woke Folk as a part of Netflix

Starting point is 00:07:57 I'm going to call it. Yeah. I'm going to call it. Yeah. But then that's going to make Nightcap go be a one o'clock edition. That's fine. That's fine because you know what? I remember in the movie
Starting point is 00:08:10 Field of Dreams. Yes. And the quote was, build it and they will come. True. Regardless to what time we start, they will come. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Because you got to think the people on the West Coast, they going to be up. Right. The people on the East Coast, they're going to be up. Right. The people on the East Coast, they're going to stay up. That's what love is about. Love is about compromise and love is about sacrifice. They're not missing these stories.
Starting point is 00:08:37 They're not missing the content. We lost Gil Ocho. We're going to try to get him back connected. But we're going to start off the math, blow out the Clippers. They take a two, a three, two series lead with two playoff games tonight that decided by a total of
Starting point is 00:08:52 64 points. So your, your heat are done. I need a slide. Run me my money. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:08:58 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:08:59 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:08:59 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:09:00 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:09:00 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:09:00 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:09:00 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:09:01 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Now, we bet on the Heat game. We bet on the Heat game as long as everybody was healthy to play outside of Chicago. No, you don't bet like that.
Starting point is 00:09:07 We don't bet like that. You told me injuries are a part of the game. Yeah, that's when it comes to football. So they're not a part of the game in the NBA? I mean, they are a part of the game, but situations change drastically So what about Giannis being injured? What about Giannis?
Starting point is 00:09:23 Wait, the Heat were at an extreme disadvantage against the Celtics. So why would you even want to take that bet? Matter of fact, why would you even want to take my money knowing that we didn't really stand a chance? Why would you bet? I bet because I thought everybody was playing except for Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:09:40 No, you didn't. Jimmy Butler had already got hurt. Ain't nobody else get hurt. Can I ask you a question? You really going to take my hard-earned money? Every last dime of it. Now run me my money. Wait, knowing all these kids I got to take care of? Unfortunately, my kids can't go hungry
Starting point is 00:10:03 so your kids can eat. If any kids go hungry... Oh, so you're going to let my kids starve so your kids can eat. If any kids gonna go hungry... Oh, yeah! Absolutely! I think the whole chat is in agreement. Hey, chat, what y'all think? Are you letting your kids go hungry
Starting point is 00:10:18 so your best friend kids can eat? I just want to know. Yes or no? Hey, we're gonna put that to the poll. And start a poll, Ash. Would you let your best friend kids can eat. I just want to know. Yes or no? Hey, we're going to put that to the poll and start a poll, Ash. Would you let your best friend kids eat and let your kids go hungry? But that's not fair, see, because the situation is you already have
Starting point is 00:10:34 money to feed your kids. You got money to feed yours too? Why? But if you take my little money that I bet on the Heat that I thought might have had a chance to win at least one more game so they could at least look like they did game two, it didn't happen. But you already got money.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Now, so if you take money out of my pocket, I bet, that means my kids ain't gonna be able to eat. Hey, who said that? Man, F them kids. Hey, you know what, so let the kids eat cereal. I mean, hey, so your kids got to eat cereal For a couple of days It's great, though
Starting point is 00:11:08 You know, it's a good thing Three-fourths of my kids Three-fourths of them can fend for themselves And they can feed themselves So I ain't tripping I ain't tripping It's cool Yeah, I want to know
Starting point is 00:11:18 I want to know who I want to know who Will let their kids go without So their friend can't eat That's funny. Again, Ocho Gil logged in. He went out. So we're going to go ahead and start the game.
Starting point is 00:11:35 The Mavs blow out the Clippers, take a 3-2 series lead, led by Luka Doncic, had 35 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds. He was Luka. He was sensational tonight, 14 or 26 from the floor. Kyrie chip. Then with 14, uh, Jones had 12,
Starting point is 00:11:50 uh, Max Cleaver had 15, Derek lively. The second had 12 and Hardy came off the bench and he gave him 14. Uh, the game was close at the hat. Well, it was a 10 point lead.
Starting point is 00:12:01 If I'm not mistaken at the half. And then they just took off in the third quarter and didn't let up in the fourth quarter. And this game really wasn't that close. We talked about it, Ocho. In order for the Clippers to win this series without Kawhi, James Harden is going to have to be the beard. Paul George is going to have to be playoff feet. And they've gotten that in two games.
Starting point is 00:12:22 In the two games they won, especially the last game, both guys had 33. James Harden, I i think had 28 points in the first game paul chipped in um but but in order for them to win this series without kawaii right paul george and paul george and james harden are gonna have to be what we know them to be what we've seen them be in the regular season so james harden is gonna have to be the beard and paul george is gonna have to be, what we've seen them be in the regular season. So James Harden is going to have to be the beard, and Paul George is going to have to be playoff P. You're back. You're back, Gil. Hey, check this out. You watched the game that we started with the Mavericks Clippers.
Starting point is 00:12:57 What's your takeaway from this game? Because the game, after midway through the third quarter, it wasn't close. Oh, the Clips got clipped. That's what happened. They was out of their heart. They was the old Clippers. Hey, they just, listen, they just didn't come to play. With Kawhi being out, right, James Harden had to be James Harden. Like, you had no other choice.
Starting point is 00:13:23 And the fact that, you know, he only took, what, under 10 shots. He wasn't going to and the fact that you know he only took what under 10 shots he wasn't going to win that game you know him playing like that so yeah um they they they're about to they're going ahead about to see next week they ain't about to see next week huh yeah you know what I got I got a question for Gil Gil you you you played at the highest level so I'm I'm kind of curious when it comes to the game of basketball, how difficult, especially during the playoffs, or just in general, how difficult is
Starting point is 00:13:51 it for players of Paul George and James Harden caliber to remain consistent game after game? Is it that difficult? Because we see them have two good games, and they win two games where they scored well, and they were very efficient from the field then they have games like tonight where it seems like he wasn't playoff he was paul
Starting point is 00:14:10 george and james harden won the beard he was just james harden how difficult is it to be be complete i that's the only word i can think of or analogy i can use to say where they just they play like themselves week in and week out or night in and night out Okay, so when it's regular season the reason regular season is kind of easier is because you don't get to scout me, right? I play you today. I'm flying and play another team tomorrow. We didn't do no scouting for each other So we're out there balling right playoffs, right? We get a There's a book with everything you want to do all your secondary your first everything you want to do, all your secondary, your first, everything you want to do as
Starting point is 00:14:47 a player. So, game to game, there's just little adjustments on you. So, if you killed me last game, I have an adjustment for you. Right? So, a player has to show different skills, different games, different
Starting point is 00:15:04 rounds. And a lot of players don't have those type of tools. Right? They think they can go into every series playing the same way. Some games, you have to be a decoy.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Right? Some series, you have to be a decoy. Right. You rely a lot on teamwork. Right? So, yeah, I played great last game.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I might need Terrence Mann today or zubac today you know because they're they're the opens guys so i might need them to to combine for 30 points that means the next game frees me back up so dallas will not change what they did today uh because the other guys didn't kill him right okay. Okay, I got you. I got you. That's what it comes down to. Because, Ocho, you know, when we started, you want to get to that fourth week
Starting point is 00:15:53 because now we got four game tapes. We got four games. Okay, this is what they did in first and ten, in second and five, third and short, third and long. Okay, this is what they did in the red zone against this formation.
Starting point is 00:16:07 So the computer is going to spit out all the information. Right. What they've done over the last four games. And as you go further, now you get to the playoffs. They broken down every game that they played. Right. Every first and 10. Every second and 10.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Every third and 10. Every first and five. Every second and five. Right. Every second and long. Every third and short. Every third and long every first and five every second and five right every second and long every third and short every third and long what they run on fourth down what they run on the goal line what they read in the red zone what so everything so now you've got a plate of information and we know categorically now you know they're having a they practice too though so they know what we're doing also but more times not, teams are going to stick to what they do because you never want to get beat.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Because how many times have you heard, man, why would he throw that pitch? He's blowing the fastball by him. Why are you throwing change up? Why are you throwing curve? So, man, y'all know y'all supposed to get Ocho the ball. Why are you going to the third receiver? Man, give Ocho a chance. So the team know they want to give Ocho the ball, why are you going to the third receiver? Man, give Ocho a chance. So the team
Starting point is 00:17:05 know they want to give Ocho the ball on third down in the fourth quarter, and they're down by four. Now, can they stop it? Because they're going to Ocho. No. You hear what you just said? Can they stop it? They can't. Even with the field study throughout the week, whether it's four weeks,
Starting point is 00:17:22 whether it's eight weeks, whether it's ten weeks, when I think about basketball, and like Gil said, when it comes to certain players and their skill sets and how many twos they have throughout the week, whether it's four weeks, whether it's eight weeks, whether it's 10 weeks. When I think about basketball and like Gil said, when it comes to certain players and their skill sets and how many tools they have in the bag, I'm expecting somebody like a Paul George or somebody like a James Harden who has a skill set,
Starting point is 00:17:35 who have, you know, tools in a bag, being able to create space, being able to create their own shot, you know, playing off the ball, pick and roll, all that good stuff. Like I expect them to look the same night in and night out that all that good stuff like i expect them to look the same night in and night out because they have the skill set to be able to do all those things to always be on each night so to see them have a game like they did previously where they
Starting point is 00:17:57 won where they won and then come out tonight and just be this flat because if you're playing against the same person then that same level of consistency i think i would i would assume would be there because your skill set doesn't change and the person that's in front of you if you're playing the same team it doesn't change either and you know you can beat them whether it be 1v1 or whether it be a team effort as as well so it just it's confusing to me how it's not i think standpoint, week to week, I know I can be consistent because, okay, even if you do study, even if you do know our tendencies offensively, all right, the coach is going to put me in positions to make plays anyway, regardless. Which is, I'm sure, the same thing they can do in basketball. So it's confusing how James Harden and pg can look good great one
Starting point is 00:18:45 night it's like oh my goodness they gonna beat the goddamn they're gonna beat the mavs and then have a night like tonight and you know what they everybody go to shit no no you're right you're right ultra but that's when you see consistency from a player you have to understand how great that player really is thank you right so you can see the difference between, you know, the LeBrons, the Kobe's, the Jokic, the Murray's. Right. The Steph Curry, the KD's. Because they're beating you different ways each game.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Not the same way Jokic is going to post you up one game. You take that away. I'm going to pull out for the middie. Then I'm going to pull out for the three. I'm going to, that's what I'm saying. You got to have different games. If I know Paul George wants to pop, pop, pop, then shoot his fade away, he's not going to be able to beat me four games like that.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Right. I didn't adjust it to that. So if he doesn't have a backup game, right, if he doesn't know how to post up, if he doesn't know how to flares, ducking, if you don't have part of that to free him up, if you can just run along, Hail Mary, the whole game, I'm just going to sit back and
Starting point is 00:19:51 prevent. You know, I'm not going to prevent. You ain't coming back there. Right? So if you don't have your little five yarders, the slants, and all the output, if you don't have it in your repertoire, it's easy to have games like this. But look what you just said.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Look what you just said. These are two of the best in the game. They're not LeBron. Paul George and James Harden had that in their repertoire. No, what's the history? If you look at James Harden's history, he's come up small in the playoffs. Look at Paul George's history.
Starting point is 00:20:24 There's one game, Russell Westbrook, when he was in OKC, Russell scored 45 points. They lost to Utah. Paul George gave them five. If you look at James Harden, the most turnovers in a playoff game in history is James Harden with 14. So no, that's not true. Because the difference
Starting point is 00:20:40 is, is that can you take, if you look at the great players, look at Jamal Murray's, what he averaged in the regular season, now go look at what he averaged in the playoffs. Look at Jokic. Look at Jordan. Even Jordan averaged 30 points for a career. He averaged more in the postseason. LeBron James averaged
Starting point is 00:20:56 more points in the postseason than he does in the regular season. So does Kevin Durant. That's the difference. Guys are able to elevate their level of play. That's what greatness, that's when you know a player is truly historically great. When he can elevate, when he can give you more than what they normally do in the regular season. And the really, really great players, that's what they do.
Starting point is 00:21:21 And you look at Paul George's history, that's why everybody was shocked when he said when they got to that press conference, they said, playoff P. They're like, when did they start calling you that? I ain't never heard nobody say that. Who called you that? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's what they call you? You know, I've been a league team. I ain't never heard nobody
Starting point is 00:21:39 call you playoff P. And James Harden has come up small in the playoffs. That's been the criticism a guy averaged 36 35 points won the score how many james harden i think has won the scoring title like three times won the assist title two or three times right and come playoff time he doesn't play to the level in the regular season and that's why people criticize him because they bro you had like 35 straight games with 30 points. He's the first guy to have a 60 point triple-double.
Starting point is 00:22:09 A 60 point triple-double. Let that sink in. Not only did he go get his, he helped everybody else get theirs. He has become playoff. Imagine even in football, if you had to play the same team a possible seven times
Starting point is 00:22:25 right that first game everybody gonna get off a little bit it starts right up after that so like like today let's take Kyrie Kyrie wasn't trying to take 24 shots today no the rest of his teammates was hitting shots so because they were hitting shots he was just going for the win. So now, Ty Lue's game plan has to change for those role players, because he don't need the role players to get off next game. Kyrie's going to be ultra-aggressive. So it's like chess moves in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Right? So it's not the best team, it's the smartest. Right. It's really the smartest. So right now, Dallas is playing smart basketball. But you got Jason Kidd over there too, so that helps a lot.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No.
Starting point is 00:25:34 It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane,
Starting point is 00:26:04 I can't begin to tell you. Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ocho, take it out, sport. What do we credit Tom for? Not for what he did so much in the regular season. What he did in the postseason. Oh, in the playoffs. Them come from behind win.
Starting point is 00:26:34 That no lead is safe. 28-3, it didn't matter. He's the underdog. Two-minute drive. 14-2 set of the Chargers. They win that game. That's what elevated Tom. I mean, look at Terry Bradshaw is 4-0 in the Super Bowl. Never lost.
Starting point is 00:26:54 But they don't give him the credit or the act or Troy's 3-0. But it seems like with those, they're like, well, we see Brady. Brady could come from behind, though, man. Man, Brady was out. Man, you remember what he did in the Tuck rule game? You remember what he did? He was an underdog at Pittsburgh. They won his first year starting.
Starting point is 00:27:15 That's what the playoffs. The regular season will make you great. Right. The postseason will make you legendary. Right. Will make you great. The postseason will make you legendary. Will make you iconic. And right now, for the fact that Lucas played, what, four games and has not been very well,
Starting point is 00:27:35 averaging 29 under. Come out here and give you 35, 35, 10, and what, seven? Yes. Think about what you heard what Gil said. Lucas averaging 29 points and he ain't playing well. And he ain't playing well.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Why didn't you say that at Ocho? That makes no sense because I heard him comment. I heard the comments that he made where he said he feel like he let
Starting point is 00:27:55 Kyrie down. How you letting Kyrie down if you got a stat line like that? That made no sense to me. I'm like, what did you talk about, buddy? Because when Lucas playing great like he did tonight, the game no sense to me. I'm like, what did you talk about, buddy? Because when Luka's playing great
Starting point is 00:28:05 like he did tonight, the game is a lot easier. See, Luka sometimes likes to play on a perimeter, shoot a jumper because he can shoot it over everybody. Tonight, he got inside the lane
Starting point is 00:28:16 realizing the way I play the game, you can't stop me from getting here. Your athleticism means nothing because I know how to play smart basketball. Right. So it looks like, man, just stay in front of him. He knows how to play smart basketball. Right. So it looks like,
Starting point is 00:28:28 man, just stay in front of him. He knows how to use his body. He knows how to use his pump fakes, his head. He knows how to use all of that. So when he plays inside out, it helps him out a lot. Hey, Real! You ain't talking down. Hey, Real! Huh?
Starting point is 00:28:45 Oh, Real. Are we good, Real? How you doing't talking now. Hey, Rail. Huh? Oh, Rail. Are we good, Rail? How you doing? Tired. I've been working hard. Hey, stand your ground, Rail. Don't let him run over you because he's trying
Starting point is 00:28:53 to run over somebody. Don't let him do it, Rail. I'm not up. Mm-hmm. Nah. Why you over there buffing your gum? In public.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Huh, it's family. It's just family. It's family. It's just family. Ocho, we got the poll. Would you let your kids go hungry so your BFF kids could eat? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Bunk kids will starve, 33%. Ocho kids will starve, 67%. Damn. Damn. He's trying to take money. He's trying to take money
Starting point is 00:29:21 out the kids, money out the kids' mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She say, nah, we can't do that. Hey, Bray Rhea, put Rhea a little. Come on, come on, man. Come here, come here, come here, come here. Five minutes of fame.
Starting point is 00:29:34 She want her little five minutes of fame. Let me take a look. Rhea. How you doing, huh? I'm doing good. You can see Gia right there. What's up, Gia? Hey, how you doing? What's up, huh? I'm doing good. You can see Gil right there. What's up, Gil? Hey, how you doing?
Starting point is 00:29:48 What's up, cousin? Would you take food out your kid's mouth so your best friend kids could eat? So you let your kids go hungry and your best friend kids eat? No, what I would do is I would split it evenly so they all can eat. Ah!
Starting point is 00:30:05 No, I got to have my kids healthy, plump, belly full. But listen, my best friend kids are like, they're like family. They're like my own. They're my nieces and nephews, so I got to make sure they're good, too. Ah, you know what? That's so nice, Rell. Rell, where you been?
Starting point is 00:30:23 We haven't seen you in a while I've been working I have a lot of stuff that's coming up so okay okay now what's up just stay tuned I mean you gotta break it you gotta break it on here first I am
Starting point is 00:30:39 you know I am okay okay all right y'all have a good one thanks real you know old short of stay at home father yeah Okay, okay. All right, y'all have a good one. All right, thanks, Real. All right. You know, Old Shorty's stay-at-home father. He's stay-at-home father. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, I told you.
Starting point is 00:30:51 I told Edgar, I'm not playing. You know, I don't mean to be rude. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I've been afforded a certain lifestyle, and I want to make sure that lifestyle continues, which is why I'm not signing no papers.
Starting point is 00:31:02 She telling me, we ain't going, we ain't walking down the aisle unless I sign papers. Man, shit, the hell I am. I'm with you. I'm not signing no papers. She telling me we ain't going to be walking down the aisle unless I sign papers. Man, shit, the hell I am. I ain't signing shit. I need to protect myself. Just in case, you know how women are. Women mind is different.
Starting point is 00:31:17 One day they love you Monday, the next day she might not want to be with you Thursday. If you want to leave, I need to protect myself. Let her leave. She can go as leave, I need to protect myself. Yeah. Let her leave. Oh, yeah, she can go. As long as I can have that money. As long as I have that money.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Real, don't do it, real. We won't prenup. We won't prenup. Celtics beat the Heat. Boston Celtics took care of business in a dominant fashion, crushing the Miami Heat 118-84, vanquished their playoff nemesis in five games to advance to the second round. Derrick White continued his
Starting point is 00:31:51 scorching play from game four. He had 25 points. Match teammate Jalen Brown's game high total. Jason Tatum chipped in with a double-double, 16 points and 12 rebounds. Yeah, well, look. Let's not, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:08 string this thing out. We know, unless the Miami Heat were going to have another game where they made 23-25, 27-3, that was their only chance. Yeah. The Celtics are the superior team. Jimmy Butler
Starting point is 00:32:23 is out, so they're vastly undermanned. And unless they can replicate what they did in game two, this series is going to end in five. Yeah, you know, to be honest, this was probably the most embarrassing series when it comes to losses. I think Miami lost, what, by 20, by 20, by 14, and by 34 tonight? Every loss was
Starting point is 00:32:52 embarrassing. 26. It was an embarrassing loss. No, you're right. 30, yeah. 34. They've gotten embarrassed on that court. I think out of all the series,
Starting point is 00:33:06 this is the one that was just so lopsided. And we gave Miami Heat the benefit of the doubt because they beat them last year and they know how to play them well. But this was an embarrassing series, to be honest. So, you know, at least they got out of it with some type of composure with one win. Well, you know, is it still as embarrassing
Starting point is 00:33:26 as you make it out to be, even with the injuries? So Jimmy's out. I mean, there are certain players that we would actually need to even have a chance, especially Jimmy, who I consider to be, you know, the heart of the Heat in general, with him being out. I mean, did we really stand a chance?
Starting point is 00:33:45 No. Well, if you make another 23-24-3, yes. The three-point shot is the equalizer. If you can make that, because remember now, it took a franchise record, playoff record. To win that game.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Right. But again, let's think about how impossible that is based on Gil just explaining to me how difficult it is to remain consistent night in and night out. Yes. Every other night. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Oh, hell. If James Harden, if the beard and Paul George can't do it, then I'm trying to think, who do we have that are offensive juggernauts with the heat that can put up the numbers anyway? Nobody. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, y'all don't have any. I think the more embarrassing part is because it's Miami Heat and we know there is a prideful organization. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Great and tough. And the fact that we didn't get to see it because they just didn't have that soul. You know, Gaia, Jimmy, it's embarrassing just to see. Right. How some warriors just couldn't muster up to get at least double digits. At least some eights, some nines, lose by nine.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Let the building get its... No, it was just... He just got whooped the whole four games. Yeah. Dang. Philadelphia 76ers ownership and fanatic CEO Michael Rubin,
Starting point is 00:35:04 that's my dog, is joining forces to acquire and distribute 2,000 tickets for Thursday night game showdown with the Knicks. The game is going to be at Wells Fargo. This comes after a significant influx of Knicks fans took over Wells Fargo Center during game four and can be heard chanting MVP for Jalen Brunson during the 76ers loss. Rubin said, we cannot let Nick's fans take over our arena again. You got to spread them out.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Gil, you know how you do it? You put like 200 over here, way at the top. 200 over there, way at the top. You can't let them pocket. You can't let them pull close to the board, Gil. Yeah, or you can just put a TV screen outside and say, y'all going to watch from here.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Watch from here. This is playoffs. When Jordan was playing, there was no infantry in that building, right? No, no. It's hard. This looks like when the Clippers and the Lakers play and it's a Clipper game, Clipper home game.
Starting point is 00:36:03 The Lakers infiltrate that building, right? The playoffs, and if you know New York is right down the corner, sold out. Sorry. It's sold out. Anybody with a New York jersey on, sorry, you can't get in the building. Tickets sold. Whatever ticket you got, you rip it up. Let them file lawsuits, but they're not
Starting point is 00:36:19 getting in this building. They're almost filled out. They do that to black folks all the time at the club. As soon as you get in there, ain't nobody in here yet. Ain't nobody in here. Or charge you $500 to get in here.
Starting point is 00:36:38 And then you're like, bro, we played $500 for this? But it's the playoffs and I understand. What happened? Hold on. I can't see. $500 for this? But it's the playoffs and I understand. Oh, shoot. What happened? Hold on. I can't see.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Man, I got this. You see I'm standing up. Everything's over here changing. Wait, you standing up? You ain't in no chair? No, man. I got the new logo in the back.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I got a new logo. I got the new logo, man. I got the claim. I got to join the botas back here. Oh, man. I got a new logo. Let's have to join the botanists back here. Oh, man. They got my dog standing. Hold on. That's a nightcap sign or it's on the TV? It's on the TV.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Right? Look, if I sit down, all you see is cap like I'm just lying the whole time. Hey, Gil got that shit rigged up yeah he got he got it ninja rigged charles oakley once believed joel and b could be an all-time great but whining and losing has changed his mind oakley said everybody says he's hurt you're hurt, stay home and watch it on TV like everybody else is doing. I don't want to hear this. I'm giving him my all. You've seen
Starting point is 00:37:49 seven-footer shooting threes. I mean, you stand around the three-point line, what guard's going to do? So I think that. You know, they cry too much. All these guys in the league cry too much. He's too big to be crying. I'm sorry I said it about two years ago. He could be the next W Will Chamberlain, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:07 He could be the next Dunkin' Donut or somebody because he just cried. I mean, listen, I know I don't watch much basketball, but I do know I watch enough to know that when Charles Oakley played, the bigs were a little bit different. The bigs played a little different. Yeah, for sure. The game is different. The game has evolved now.
Starting point is 00:38:24 And Joel Embiid, whether he cries or not or whines a lot, I mean, he does a lot. He can play down in the post. He got a mid-range game. He can go out there from three. But he can't help it that he's hurt. Now, I'm sure, you know, back in the day, you know, in the 80s and 90s, it was all about being tough and playing through injury. But, dude, he's seven feet, almost 300-something pounds.
Starting point is 00:38:47 So there's a little difference. You got to give him a little grace. The mentality Charles Oakley has is that old school mentality. Get your ass out there. If your goddamn leg broke, just go out there and get it done. No matter what. Don't cry about it. But times have changed.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Times are different. I understand where Oak is coming from because that's kind of my era too. But that's a tough one. He ain't got to lean on him like that. He ain't got to lean on him heavy like that. I mean, it's easy for Oak to say, go out there and play even though you're hurt. Because when you went out there injured,
Starting point is 00:39:18 you ain't had to get nothing but two points. Right? Oakley wasn't scoring like that he wasn't like no he was a rebounder and an enforcer also like Dennis he was like Dennis Rodman
Starting point is 00:39:31 yeah how he talking crazy like that he wasn't even no offensive juggernaut like that nah because here's the thing when you're out there on the court don't nobody know you hurt all they see is Embiid
Starting point is 00:39:42 on the back of the jersey we see that all the time guys go out there hurt and they don't give you production okay this this you know how this bit you know how professional sports work if you out there all they see is the name on the back of that jersey right now what do you normally do that's what they expect hurting those hurt they don't want to hear the a just show just show me the baby. I understand the labor pains are going to be intense, but show me the healthy baby.
Starting point is 00:40:08 And so they're saying, Joel Embiid, look, that big old, we know you don't normally wear a knee brace. But bro, you can't, you dropped 50. Was he hurt when he dropped 50, Gil?
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yeah. Okay then, that's what's see. You can't drop 50 and then talk about, oh man, my knee knee and then when you come out there and play bad even though you won because he that's Tyrese Maxey won that game the other night Joel Embiid was really really bad he had a triple double but he was awful I mean he had like four consecutive turnovers in a row I'm talking about he was throwing the ball. He was spraying the ball all over the feet, all over the court. Yeah, he... It's hard
Starting point is 00:40:48 because even him at what, 50%, he's just more... He's just dominant. You know, and this is more of an NBA thing. I don't know if they have it like this in football. If all three of us
Starting point is 00:41:04 was playing one-on-one, Ocho, we get the foul, Shannon, as much as we want. They're not going to call the foul the same. Him, Jokic, Giannis, players like
Starting point is 00:41:19 that, they get fouled a lot. They get fouled a lot, but because they're so big, they're fouled a lot. They get fouled a lot, but because they're so big, they're supposed to take it. They do the most crying. So when you're talking about if a ref,
Starting point is 00:41:35 think about a ref. They don't want to give out 30 free throws to a guy for the game. So now I have to pick and choose what I'm going to give andid fouls. But he's getting fouled. He can get fouled every time he touches the ball.
Starting point is 00:41:52 That player is thinking, yo, I need 30 free throws. And they're like, so I'm going to go give you 10 tonight. That kind of frustrates players. With a guard, Maxie will get more free throws than Joel Embiid with the same style
Starting point is 00:42:06 because he's smaller look at Shaq, Shaq should have been shooting 20 free throws a night I was following him every time he touched the ball but I think the most I think the biggest thing is yeah Joel Embiid we know he has that knee issue but the man is playing with Bell's palsy,
Starting point is 00:42:26 which is kind of like a mild form of a stroke because you see his eyelid going closed. Sometimes your mouth gets crooked. You have loss of some function issues. So that might be more so than the knee, is what that debilitating disease does to you. He's out there playing. I don't know anybody.
Starting point is 00:42:50 If I'm not mistaken, I think Mark Sloreff had that, and he missed an entire year. Yeah, we usually take Pillar Center for stuff like that. I'm going to just be honest. Pillar Center ain't going to help that. What they say, how you get it, boy, you get it from there. Surprise, I ain't have it yet. Boy from... Surprise, I ain't have it yet. Boy, I'm surprised
Starting point is 00:43:08 I ain't have it yet. Nah, nah. You got that Forrest Whitaker going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got that last King of Scotland. Yeah, so I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Listen, listen. You better stay out those strip clubs. I can tell you that, man. Come on. It's playoff time, man. You can't be out there with your eyes twitching. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,

We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

Starting point is 00:45:27 Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra,
Starting point is 00:46:11 you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra,
Starting point is 00:46:36 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Mello said he would have been out for blood if anthony ed was treating him the same way he treated kd let's take a listen to what mellow had to say that little young dude called his shot before he even started versus legend is that not crazy i love it when i'm sitting at home i would have been like this thing is buggered i don't want to kill this little nigga i'd have been out for blood they moving out his way in a competitive way I'd have been out for blood. They moving out his way. In a competitive way, I'd have been out for blood. Because I'm taking that as, what?
Starting point is 00:47:08 You just called me out in front of Malika? It's just that it goes back to say, you got to know how to put these pieces together. And I get what Phoenix did. They said, we going all in. We got to go out, Thomas. Now we got to put all the chips on the table. We got to go. These young boys ain't trying to hear that.
Starting point is 00:47:22 None of these young boys in this league is trying to hear that. What you mean go out for blood? Ocho, remember we had a conversation the other night? Yeah. We all ready to fight. What you going to do? Oh, you hit me in my nose? Right.
Starting point is 00:47:36 That's what you want? Bro, you in a hoop game. I understand what you're talking about, though. In a hoop game, when you ain't saying nothing, you just out there playing. Now you got somebody talking trash to you. Oh, it raises the level of play just a little bit. That's why when you add trash talking to the game and you're competing,
Starting point is 00:47:54 it forces you or it makes you want to play at a higher level, even though you're in the middle of a game already. I think that's where he's coming from. But that's not Kevin Durant's game. You just told me when you started talking and somebody started talking back, they're going to get angry. They're going to get out of their game because that's not their game. And now you got him.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I know I got him. You want Kevin Durant to do something that he doesn't normally do? No, see, what Melo's saying is the way Melo played and the style Melo played, if Ant would have been talking to him, Melo, listen, they would have lost the game him, Mello would have lost the game. They would have lost that game. Mello would have had about 60 because nobody else is shooting that ball. Come on down here.
Starting point is 00:48:35 He would have hit him with all them elbows that he does to everybody. He would have put Youngfell in that basket. He would have jeopardized that loss to prove a point. That's what he said. I ain't trying to. I'll prove a point in the regular season.
Starting point is 00:48:51 I ain't proving no point in the postseason. I'm trying to advance. Nah, you got to. I'm trying to advance. Listen, with someone like Anthony Edwards and them young boys not caring, you get. That's his favorite player. What he did again.
Starting point is 00:49:03 You see how it carried him over to the next couple of games. Yeah. You can't give no inches to a player. So Mello would have, Oh, hold on. If we want to win a series, we got to jeopardize this game.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Right. These straight drops. Yeah. These straight drops. Mello would have hit you with. Yeah. You got to stop him. It's like,
Starting point is 00:49:24 like with your kids. You can't stop him. First of all, they gave up all the defenders. They got no wing defenders. They gave up their best wing defender in order to get Kevin Durant. See, that's the risk. When I tell people, at some point in time, you got to play some defense.
Starting point is 00:49:38 You got to get a stop. Look at in clutch situation. They couldn't stop Anthony Edwards. He got wherever he wanted to get on the floor he got whatever shot he wanted to get they didn't bliss him they didn't trap him they didn't get the ball out of his hand they let him play one on one you better not let no great player catch a rhythm and talk about you gonna
Starting point is 00:49:56 play him one on one it's a rap especially once you catch the rhythm the guys are too good yeah you can't play anybody one on one but Anthony he has great role players around him. When we talk about Michael Jordan, the reason
Starting point is 00:50:11 Michael Jordan get a double, Scottie Pippen, they were great basketball players. Anthony Edwards, he has smart basketball players surrounding him, so it's going to be hard to double him, just like it's hard to double you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:28 They have great players around them. So you have to play them one-on-one. And as long as you're playing them one-on-one, get in this basket. Yeah. Right. I kind of understand when Melo say alpha blood, I get it. And being alpha blood is also a mentality as well. Like somebody that, matter of fact, somebody doesn't even need to say nothing to you, for you to already be out for blood in general.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Because some people's game just carries that type of style and just the way they are. I think about, and I like the way you say out for blood. Like with my kids, when it comes to competing, anything that we do. Hell, we could be at Dave and Buster's. Hell, we could be playing Uno. When it comes to this one in here, when they're making all that noise, I have to establish dominance at all times, no matter what we're doing. Always.
Starting point is 00:51:16 You have to lose. I got to win because the Bills carried them, especially for the kids. When you do anything competitive with your kids, you got to be out for blood. So you want to win the battle and lose the war? I ain't going to never lose the war because the war don't start. The war, let me tell you, I ain't going to never lose no battle,
Starting point is 00:51:33 and I'm not going to lose no war. You got to establish dominance when they're young. But no, I'm talking about mellow. You trying to make it a one-on-one battle. Oh, I see what you mean. I see what you mean. I see what you mean. You got to set the tone, though. You got to set the tone. This is a seven-on-one battle oh I see what you mean you gotta set the tone though
Starting point is 00:51:45 you gotta set the tone this is a seven game series I gotta sit down I ain't 20 no more you good hey but here's the I get it but you can't get on a one-on-one battle you good? Hey, but here's the, oh, Joe, I get it. I get it. Oh, I'm going to try to,
Starting point is 00:52:06 you know, but you can't get on a one-on-one battle because you're trying to win the game or you're trying to show that you're better than him. Right. I get what you're going on. I get what you're going on. Listen, maybe,
Starting point is 00:52:16 maybe a little bit of both. Maybe have a little balance of both. Right. You know, a guy like Ant, you ain't doing that. Cause if you could take his heart, he wouldn't even talk to you like that.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Come on, man. There's a reason why he's talking to you like that. But remember, he was struggling early. In a couple shots, hit a couple shots, came down, said something, hit another one. Kevin Durant came down, said something, right? He came back, said something. Now it's over, right?
Starting point is 00:52:42 He in rhythm now. He in three shots. Now you ain't in rhythm now. He in three shots. Now you ain't stopping him now. He in rhythm. Any great player, let him see the ball go in. Yep. Now he really going to start talking. Yep.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Because I got something to talk about. It's just like, hey, let me get a couple catches. You better not let me get a couple. Let me get three catches in the first quarter, Ocho. Yeah. Go for it. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Man. You already know what it feel like when you touch that ball the first time. Early. I didn't just give it. You touch it early? Oh, but you in there for the rest of the game. Katie Bardot. Hey, I'm in your ear.
Starting point is 00:53:17 I'm in the whole game. That seems like the most frustrating thing in y'all's sport. Being a great receiver and your quarterback ain't on the same page with you. Oh my God. Yeah, that's frustrating.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Yeah. Hey, Gil, you go into some games and whoever you're playing, let's say if we're playing the Ravens and... What's the Ravens coach name? Brian... Brian Billy.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Man, Brian Billy coming to the game and say, I don't care what the Bengals do today. Ocho ain't touching the ball. Man, listen. They'll walk a Darius Thomas out from that D and Unk.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Put him right in front of me. Shade Ed Reed over to my side. With the DB off about seven yards right behind the Darius. I'm talking about it's like that
Starting point is 00:54:02 full quarter straight. Oh, no. You got to go hiking yourself then. Boy. You got to go hiking yourself then. Boy, that is one of the worst feelings, even though it's a sign of respect. It's one of the worst feelings to go through practice
Starting point is 00:54:15 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, have a walk-through Saturday, and then go into a game on Sunday and have the opposing team play a game style where you ain't touching the ball. I get two catches for 20 yards. I worked all week.
Starting point is 00:54:31 I worked hard all week to have two catches for 20 goddamn yards. Yeah. I can institute a defense that I make it tough on you that you won't get. Ocho, what was the book on Randy? What was the book on T.O.? book on uh uh uh T.O. frustrate them early yeah make sure hey we're gonna roll coverage yeah we're gonna get them
Starting point is 00:54:50 frustrated early yeah yeah then we got them yeah that's all you gotta do for a wide receiver hey we're gonna make try let's try to make him go the entire first quarter without having to catch see yeah yeah see it's hard it's hard like it's hard to do that in the NBA because... Yeah, for sure. Because we can go get the ball. You don't want to... Like, you don't want to give it to me. I go get it myself.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Right. Get it myself. But see, that's the thing, though. You can have it. You can get the ball. You can dribble the ball. A receiver plays a dependent position. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:20 He can't get the ball. You can't. I can make it tough on you. Yeah. Yeah. Boom. Uh-oh, uh- tough on you yeah Tim Hardaway senior says Pat Riley wouldn't welcome LeBron back to the heat I don't think LeBron want to go back to the heat but anyway he said after what happened back then
Starting point is 00:55:36 Pat Riley is not going to is not going to him stop playing stop playing Tim Hardaway Sr. Who gave him a microphone? Was he a scout? Was he on the team?
Starting point is 00:55:53 Where is he? What? You know, he's saying Pat Riley don't want LeBron back after everything played out. That man gave y'all four years. Took you to four NBA finals, won you two championships. His debt was paid in full. Yeah, I'm curious.
Starting point is 00:56:11 I'm not sure what Brother Hardaway, Brother Hardaway Sr. is really talking about. I think if the opportunity presented itself, if LeBron was to come to Miami, I think that makes us somewhat of a contender, especially what we have now. And the coaching that Spoh does with less being able to compete.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Obviously, in the playoffs, we were hurt. We were hampered, but it would be dope. It would be awesome. Obviously, hypothetically speaking, it's not going to happen. I'm just saying, if it did, Pat Riley would absolutely accept LeBron back with open damn arms, no matter
Starting point is 00:56:43 what happened back then. That's facts. I mean, after he watched this whooping that they did this year, and they haven't got a big free agent since LeBron's left, if LeBron wanted to come back, trust me, Pat is like, come on in here. Door wide open.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Because he knows LeBron is going to bring another superstar with him, right? So you're not going to jeopardize that over whatever happened over some cookies on the plane. I'm sorry. Well, I mean, if you don't want LeBron, you better want somebody. Go back. As a matter of fact, the way they keep on losing him, they'll take D-Wade back. And D-Wade, he ain't got nothing for him.
Starting point is 00:57:23 D-Wade walked away. Listen, he might lose Jimmy. and D-Wade he ain't got nothing for him D-Wade walked away listen you need to be careful you might lose Jimmy there's only so much running you can do when you start getting up in age like Pat Riley that system over there is for young boys that's for like Detroit Pistons
Starting point is 00:57:41 the Washington Wizards OKC go and get them boys get them right That's for like Detroit Pistons, right? Washington Wizards. Oh, yeah. OKC? Yeah, go and get them boys. Get them right. Players, superstars, that's not meant for them out there. He runs their body down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Yeah, well, I tell you what. He better hope another LeBron comes along. Or another D. Come on now. You know he doesn't like that coming along. No time. Well, he better hope a D. Wade come along. Or another D. Come on now. You ain't nothing like that coming along. No time. Well, he better hope a D. Wade come along. How about that?
