It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. The Sixers rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to upset the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs,
Starting point is 00:02:54 setting up a showdown with the Knicks and a postseason rematch from two years ago in which New York fans flooded the Wells Fargo Center after presumably, the tickets from the Sixers fans. Embed pleaded with the 76th fans to avoid a repeat of scenario from the 2024 series. I have just one message for our fans.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Last time we played the Knicks, it felt like Philadelphia was in Madison Square Garden East. We're going to need the support. Don't sell your tickets. This is bigger than you. We need you guys. Hey, I talked to Embedd, right? And he told me he want the apologies
Starting point is 00:03:27 to be just as loud as the criticism. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that was the message I was given. I'm not sure who he was addressing it to. He told me to say, make sure the apologies and just as loud as the criticism was. Nobody has ever or will ever doubt his ability. We doubt his availability because the first three games of the series, where was he, Jocho and Joe?
Starting point is 00:03:53 He were hurt. He were hurt. Best ability is what? Availability. We're not doubting. We know Joe Ellen B. It's what there's never been there's only been one man his size that athletic that can move, but he couldn't shoot like Joel and Bid in that shot.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Yeah. We've never seen a man that big. 300 plus pounds, seven foot plus tall to move and be able to do what he can do on the court. We just want him to be available. Oh, Joe, he's played as of March. He's played 485 games. Yeah. He missed 485 games.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. You, hey. We had this conversation though, Uncun Joe. Yes. We got on them about him not being available, and we had someone chiming in the chat or whatever it was, and they talked about the money he had gotten, and why did they pay him that much? And the only thing, the only thing I answer I could have for that was is he's not available. He's always hurt. But when he is available, when he's on that court, he's a complete difference maker. which is why he gets the money he does get,
Starting point is 00:05:03 even though most people will say it's not warranted because he's missed so many goddamn games. But he showed you in this series alone when they send Boston home because of his presence, even though it slows the game down for everybody else, look what it does for you. And you just hold your,
Starting point is 00:05:21 every time he goes down, you hold your breath. You do, man. You know how somebody banging to him? You know how I knew he was okay? And you know what? You knew how he knew it was good, unc and Joe? Remember when that ball was going out of bounds? You see him dying for that thing?
Starting point is 00:05:33 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, he good. He good. But then what you call him? He got the guy, he picked up a charge and then the guy back into his knee
Starting point is 00:05:41 because that's how he heard his knee one time before, you know what I'm saying? And he got his knee hyper-extended back. And then he started cramping on the sideline. They're trying to stretch him out. He's a phenomenal talent. You'll never ever, because I watched it. Only one guy had that kind of, that athleticism at that size, that Shack,
Starting point is 00:06:02 but Shack couldn't shoot the ball like this kid could. Right. Yeah. But as far as you're talking about, I got this 7 foot 1, 300 plus pounds. Do you see how he moves? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Yeah. He can shoot the three. He can get to mid range. He can back it down, shoot over either shoulder. And I look, hey, he was hitting score and poros on Jaylor Friday.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Like, calm down. Y'all getting all of them. I just, calm down. Hey. I got this. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, M.B. Hey, hey, the games that he has played in this postseason, Uncle Ocho, the boy look damn good if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:06:42 You know, I think the biggest key for Philly is if you can get those guys around him. Obviously, I don't worry about Maxi. I think Maxi's been great. I love his energy and effort, his assertiveness that he comes out with, and he don't defer to no damn body. Yeah, we're going to get MB some touches. But damn it, I'm going to be at the helm and I'm going to shoot what I want.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I'm going to be aggressive. I'm going to attack. I'm going to do all that. But if you get Edgecombe and Paul George to be able to play efficiently. Like they play? Yeah. Off these two dudes, they got a...
Starting point is 00:07:16 Oh, Joe, the last three possessions, who had the ball? Maxie. Yeah. They put them in the pick and roll and what did he do? Get all the way to the rim and lay it up. Three straight possessions.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Yeah. But you know why, you know why that's possible though. It's possible because M.B. kind of had it going and the big is in that between he and that huckle buck. I call it the huckle buck on the Ocho because you're like, damn, Maxey come off this pick and roll.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I don't know if he's really looking to throw it back to Embed or get all the way to the basket. But Maxley playing with such thrust down the stretch, bro. It creates so many opportunities and it makes them that much more dangerous. They are going to get a Knicks hell. They're going to
Starting point is 00:07:58 get a Knicks hell. Because what We laugh. Hold on if they want. Yeah, because what the host? What cat are we going to get? Well, well, I think with the history, you got to understand the history about a cat and MB now. Hey, you saw I saw the tweets. You saw the old tweets?
Starting point is 00:08:13 M.B. Yeah. You saw the old tweets, Joe? I ain't seen the old tweets. They ain't seen it. Huh? You got to look at the old tweets where M.B tweeted a goddamn cat. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:24 It's been a nasty little rival between those two, and I don't expect for it to be no difference in this postseason. Yes, sir. Yeah. Yeah, when you look at it, what we lack, what we lack meaning the Hawks, we didn't have no girth, we couldn't really, it was tough for us to deal with Robinson and Kat. Well, hell, Philly ain't got that problem with M.B. They got drum dog and they got, yep.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Man, what are you talking about? They got guys coming off their bench who can, who can withstand all that. So I think Philly is going to be a way tougher matchup than what my Hawks gave him for Sure. Oh, Joe. Yes. We're having this conversation, Joe, last week. It was just last week.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah. About that week. Yeah. I said, you said, you tried. I said, yeah, I would. I said because I can't trust his availability. I'd never said he couldn't play. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:15 He's an MVP. He's gotten 70 points. I said, but to invest that kind of money. Right. And a guy that I'm only getting, I'm not even really getting 50% of the time. See, you see what? the way people look at it, if you say something negative about a person, anything that he ever, he or she has ever done,
Starting point is 00:09:37 you try to discount it. Yeah. That was the issue that me and my co-host had with Tom Brady. Tom Brady didn't play well. Are you trying to say he didn't win seven Super Bowls? Are you saying he didn't throw for 80,000 yards? Are you saying he didn't throw for six? No, that's not what I said.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Two things can be true. Yes. Yeah. Tom Brady can play bad. and still been a great player, but you don't, this ain't a lifetime achievement award. As long as he's still playing,
Starting point is 00:10:07 we have to evaluate him on his game. Yes. LeBron James didn't play well. Oh, so now you're saying he ain't scored 40 plus thousand points. No, that ain't what I said. I said he didn't play bad. He played bad this game. When he scored 10 points,
Starting point is 00:10:21 Joe and I came up, but this was awful. This might have been the worst playoff game I've ever seen him play. If you got to go all the way back to 2011 when he played those games against the Mavericks, to find LeBron James not playing well in a playoff game. Two things can be true.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Joe Allen Bede is a phenomenal talent, but the majority of the time he's unavailable. Yeah. It's hard to win and build a championship contending team when your best player is unavailable. That's understandable. No, you understood. Joe understood exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Yeah. Capping. What did I cap about? Has Joe Allen B'd miss 485 games as of March? Yes. Has he played 485 games since March? List the injuries in which he's actually missed games and missed in playoffs. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Or he's been limited in the playoffs. Was that last year, Joe, where he was dragging that leg and if he had been healthy, they might have won the series. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah. He got that big old Dunjoy on. It damn it like a cast. He's dragging his leg and still giving you 30.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah. He's dealt with injuries since he came into the league, man. Yeah. And you know what? As a matter of fact, hold on. Yeah, that was 24. Yes. Because my question was, I was like, guys,
Starting point is 00:11:46 why is he going to play into the Olympics when he was hurt in the playoffs? Yeah. Why not get healthy? Yeah. And then guess what? He limped into the season. Yeah. He barely played in the Olympics hill.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yes. Hey. I think they thought that, you know, having to deal with Yokic, having to deal with Wembe, having to deal with Gobert, we got AD, but we need another American being. Now, obviously, he's Cameroonian, but he's, you know, he has, he's here. And so, yeah, he got his papers and everything. So that's what they felt we had to.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Because like you said, only like one or two games, If that game against Yokic, where they was down big and he hit a couple of big shots, maybe that's all you needed him for. Yeah. Yeah. That's all you needed them for. Yeah. But guys, two things can be true.
Starting point is 00:12:42 You can say Luca don't play a lick of defense, but is he not one hell of a ball player offensively? So you try to say so because Luca doesn't, it's not that good, it's awful on defense. He's a terrible basketball player. No. Shh. Mm-mm. Two things can be true.

Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got them. Do you want a white collar something here? Just take it.

Starting point is 00:17:21 Oh, you're lucky I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You are. I'm lucky I'm not a killer.

Starting point is 00:17:43 And I know, I know, I know NB reminded a lot of people. I know he missed a lot of time. A lot of people had a lot of things to say about him because of his absence, absences, you know, due to unfortunate circumstances that he really, that are out of his control, out of his control. Now, maybe there's some things he can do personally to prevent some of these injuries. But it's been something that started. He's held.
Starting point is 00:18:06 When he came in the NBA, he came in hurt. You know, but when he, hey, Joe, when he is healthy, I don't even think he's ever been healthy. I'm talking about 100%. I don't think he healthy now. He won the MVP. I think he played like 68, 70 games. He was special there, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:23 That might have been the most games that he played, but you got to realize, guys, he came into the league and then having to have back surgery. Yeah. You got to watcho. You got to realize how big of a man that is. They list him at 285. If Joel and Bede is 285, I'm 165.
Starting point is 00:18:42 You think he'd be a three? Three and some days. Do I? Yeah. I'm 255. Y'all saw me. Yeah. So y'all think Joel and Bede is only 30 pounds heavy to me.
Starting point is 00:18:56 I'm six foot two. Joy L'Abeat is 7172, and y'all think Joel and Bede is only 30 pounds heavy to me. Yeah. They say LeBron James is 260. So you believe that Joy L'Ill and Beat is only 25 pounds heavy than LeBron, Joe? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Damn, me and Uncle weigh the same amount. So you, in other words, so you said, Joel Lind Beat is only 30 pounds heavy than you? No, no. Okay. Damn. Hey. Joe, I got, we got to get that way down there.

Starting point is 00:26:37 I had about three, four girlfriends. But see, back there, I mean, the song was central. I mean, everybody knew, but they weren't talking about no hoo-ha, they ain't talking about how. No, no, that was real music. That wasn't, that wasn't under that in that? That was real music. We had never been music like that again.

The women up there talking, taking a picture of themselves. You know, they got that, you know, got that duck left and everything.
Starting point is 00:28:49 All the clubs ain't no place for dancing. It ain't the same. And it used to be, hey, they play. They get about an hour or a fast up tempo. Yeah. And then they go hit you about 15 minutes of slow stuff. Yeah. Hey, but that's why when I step out now, I go hollet, uh, it may be Brian,
Starting point is 00:29:06 Michael Cox or Jermaine Dupree when they're doing the R&B, the R&B Wednesdays or Thursdays, the Jagged Edge Twins, Uncle Ocho. They got a little something they do out here, but it'd be all R&B. You're talking about a vibe. Hey, when that is, Joe? I think the twins do something on the Jagged Edge Twins. I think it's on a Thursday. I'm going to have to find out.
Starting point is 00:29:27 I hadn't been in a while, Ocho, but when I tell you, man, hey, they had live, they have karaoke in now, and they play the music. But you know, women, they don't. love R&B, bro. Yes, uh, hey, hey, look, I don't know about y'all, but I, I, I don't want to be around a bunch of hard legs. You hear me? Yes, uh, yes, huh. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:35 We have, you know, the eighth grade day. and the homecoming dance and, you know, all that. Hold on. What about prom? Don't need prom out, uh. I didn't go to prom in high school, Joe, Ocho and Joe. Why? Because we had a track meet.
Starting point is 00:30:50 So Coach Hall would always say, look, guys, okay, this is when the prom is. I can schedule a track meet. I ain't have no, girl. I'm running. I'm trying to figure out how the prom was going to get me to college. Ooh. Boy, you had your head on your shoulders, boy. Hey, now once I got, I had, I had a girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Now, my sophomore year, I had a girlfriend and I went. But after that, her senior, I didn't go, we had broken up. But I didn't go, I didn't go and I didn't go to the prom in high school. I was running track. Well, locked in. Oh, look, Coach, all say, hey, I'm going to say, look, I can schedule a track me or y'all go to the prom. And some guys, some guys that went to the prom, they didn't go.
Starting point is 00:31:32 That wasn't me. Yeah. Right. And the one year, it was the state. track meet with that and coach all said I'm going to the state track meet I say well I'll be that with you that's what I love track about subtract so much because sometimes guys want to bull a job and you know didn't want to take it serious and work hard and train hard let me get my individual events so we don't go as a team as a relay team yeah I'm going to three events you

But them dance, them homecoming dances, or somebody would have a, oh, yeah, man. Ooh. Hey. Good days, boy. The music back, the music back then, boy. It was different, Joe. It was different. The music back then had
Starting point is 00:32:21 meaning, Joe. Man, yeah. It had men. It's like, it's like when you cook and you use seasoning, everything they sang about had flavor back then. Man. There was a message to everything that was saying.
Starting point is 00:32:35 They used to bed. back then, Unk? You hear me? Oh, yeah. They used to beg. We don't beg no more. Nah, you can't beg no more, Ocho. It's a different time now.

Starting point is 00:33:05 Hey, boy. Man, listen. But Joe and Ocho, y'all can't have it slow the whole night. Sometimes we got to put that parliament on. That flashlight. Now I lay me down. Hey. Flashlight.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Yeah, yeah. But it was the day, hey. There was the days, man. There was the day. Hey, we did have what you call it, an old school. We did have an old school jail. That's what I'm saying, man. Y'all playing, bro.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I'm ready. What we're doing? We're doing karaoke and we just vibing. What we doing? Oh, I'm ready. Hey, karaoke, Joe, that's up my alley, Joe. Before we go into further, hey, next year, go and put it,

Starting point is 00:33:55 It's unbelievable. And you know, so crazy, Cincinnati right there. Yes, we flew, I flew into Cincinnati. Yeah, Louisville right down the street. Yep. I'm in Cincinnati, 11, 12 years. Joe Angos to Kentucky Derby
Starting point is 00:34:08 not one year. Damn. You got to go. It's all about the women in their hat, and the guy you got to have you. Got to get your brim, though, Joe, Joe, Joe.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You got to get your brim. We got to put it on. You got to put it on a brim. Say less. Say less. Women might not even have on no shoes, but they're going to have a nice hat on. Hey,
Starting point is 00:34:27 you ain't seen that many hats since you went the fourth Sunday at the church. You hear me. Everybody had a hat on. Well, what? My grandma, she had a closet full of hat. You hear me? Oh yeah, yeah, my grandma.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Oh, you're talking about for church? You're talking about for church Joe? Yes. Yeah. Boy? My grandma got buried in one of hers. She already didn't told my sister with the outfit. She wanted everything on.
Starting point is 00:34:51 She wanted her glasses. She wanted a teece. You want a hat on. Yeah. Everything. Yes, sir. Oh, yeah. And my sister still got all the other hats.
Starting point is 00:35:00 My sister's like, I ain't get them away. Hey, what, what was that about, though? I'm talking about, man, my grandma got a, I'm talking about she, probably got over a hundred-something hats, bro. Oh, easy. My grandma, too. My grandma was the Eastern Star, Joe.
Starting point is 00:35:12 She sang in the choir. She was a, she was a, um, she was a deaconess. Deaconess, yeah. That's my grandmother. She had a hat for every dress. Yeah. Yep. How you have a hat in the purse to match?
Starting point is 00:35:24 Yeah. What are we doing? I ain't never seen my, I've never seen my grandmother go to church. And I went to church with my grandmother from the time I can remember until I left in 1986 and occasionally I would come home and go with her on a fourth Sunday. Yeah. But say from I can remember 74. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:44 To eight. I've never seen my grandmother in church without a hat. Me neither, bro. Never. Me neither. Never. Never. Is it any significance behind that?
Starting point is 00:35:52 I never asked to watch you wood. Or they just like the style like that. They were style of me. I just think they grandma, but grandma, I think I might have saw Grandma Lou, which was my great grandma. Grandma, she didn't always wear a hat. But those women,
Starting point is 00:36:11 those women had them had something. All the deacon, all the deacon, all the deacon wives had a hat on. Yeah. And the mother of the church had a hat on. So I don't know what's the significance
Starting point is 00:36:22 of it of why. And them old men, them wore brims. My grandfather, they go to church, my grandfather wore a hat all the time. He was one of those guys, he was a fedore.
Starting point is 00:36:33 He always had a hat to church. Unless he was, I think he might, he think he might have wore a hat in the field when he was working in the fields. And you know it's funny too, Unk and Joe? What was that? You know who had the best hat collection? It wasn't my grandma.
Starting point is 00:36:50 It wasn't, it wasn't anybody else, but it was the past's wife. Right. The past's wife, I'd never forget. My Olive Baptist Church, Reverend Clark, his wife. I mean, I'm not sure if they still alive after all this time. Joe, man, she was head the toe
Starting point is 00:37:10 every Sunday. Yeah. Had master purse, purse, master heels and everything just floated. I'm about so clean. Yeah. So clean. But that's what the Derby, hey,

Jalen Brown believed Joel and B was rewarded for flopping in game seven. We didn't really have an answer for him.
Starting point is 00:42:25 He's always flopping around and they rewarded him for that. But that's the league we're in. Flopping has ruined our league. Joel is one of the greatest players that played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too. In addition to being frustrated with a B or with him B, Brown says he felt targeted by the official. If I had to say there are some referees
Starting point is 00:42:44 that need to be investigated, we had three of them in the last three games. Joe, does J.B. have a point calling out Embed to say he flops a lot or he's making excuses for how his team blew a 3-1 lead. I think he's still a little pissed off on Ocho about the loss.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Yes. And it's still early, so it still lingers. but do I say he flops a lot? I would say he flails, meaning, you know, a guy his size, you don't expect for him every time he get touched or when he get touched going through the lane for him to flail and be looking for a foul, you expect for those guys to play through the contact.
Starting point is 00:43:25 But this is how the great scores in our league today are able to manipulate the game and get what they want. You know what I mean? Like, Joel knows he has to put his stamp on the game. And by that, if it's getting guys in foul trouble, to where he can go to the free throw line, get a couple easy ones, things of that sort. So if you're not playing great offensively,
Starting point is 00:43:47 you have to find ways to still be effective. And I think Joelle has done a great job. He's done a great job in that series, bro. You know, J.B. got to give him credit. And it's always, you know, you always fly there against you when they, you know, they continue to call fouls. I think J.B. had a game, especially the last two games,
Starting point is 00:44:04 the way he was kind of in foul trouble. So I can kind of understand where he's coming from. but, man, it's a part of the game now, bro. You can't take it out. You know, they used to talk about, oh, we're going to find you for flopping. Hell, what the last time y'all heard somebody getting fined for flopping?
Starting point is 00:44:20 Yeah, there's a lot of flailing and flopping going on in the league, bro. You can't distinguish what's authentic and what's not. Right. Exactly. Here's the problem that I got. It wasn't the flopping. It was y'all dumb play, J.B. Y'all down one point, and you come down
Starting point is 00:44:37 and launch five, six straight threes. So what about that? I'm just trying to figure out, Joe, you're down one. You're not down 11. You're down one. You don't wanna run not one play. You shoot a three, you get the rebound. You jack up another three, you get the rebound.
Starting point is 00:44:55 You shoot another three. I'm like, well, are you serious? And I get it. A lot of people look at Joel and B to say, bro, you decide the Shaq, Shaq ain't never flop. When they file Shaq, you know they but they had to. Oh, he's going to dunk your ass in the basket.
Starting point is 00:45:11 So you really, really had the foul shack. Yeah. But in today's game, that's not, they reward flopping. And they do. And guys have found ways they've got really, really creative at fooling the officials. I mean, sometimes you swing by the guy's face and he'll fall. Oh, Lord. Hey, and look, this is why the scoring is up in the NBA.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Yes. Because back in the 80s and 90s and the 70s, He's Uncle Ocho, you can hand check, you can do all that, that shit wasn't no file. Nowadays, you can't hand check, guy coming to the lane, you chug him, that's a file. You know, everything is borderline flagrant. You can review everything.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Well, damn. You know, the game's a lot different. A prime example. Jalen Suggs twist his own damn maker at the half court at the heave at half time. And they reviewed it. They made it seem like Kay Cunningham did something. He tripped his own damn sense.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Yeah, absolutely. Tony brothers had to go look at the monitor. There's no father. Hell, I could have told you that. But guess what? He twisted his own damn ankle. Cade ain't touch him. And then he landed out there and the fish is like,
Starting point is 00:46:27 well, damn, ain't no possible way he would be faking, would he? Let's go take a look at it. Come to find out, he tripped his own damn self. Yeah. Yeah. So I think, I understand. I look,
Starting point is 00:46:41 you're up 3-1, you just know you got this thing in the bag. It's over. It's over. But the thing, but what helped y'all get those leads? Again, you was 13 to 49.
Starting point is 00:46:55 You was 27% from the 3. When they start getting to the high teams, the low 20s, they're unbeatable because they take so many threes. Yeah. Now you only, you are only plus six points from the three-point line. You're not going to be.
Starting point is 00:47:07 beat that team. Yeah, I know. Because you really don't have an answer for Joel and B. And then you let Maxie get going. You let Eskham get going. Paul George only shot 10 shots, but he made five of them. They didn't get anything from the bench. They only got three points from the bench.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Well, the Celtics got 30, 41. They got 41 from their bench. But think about it. Luke Garza, zero points. Ron Harper Jr., zero points. Sherman, zero points. So you got three starters.
Starting point is 00:47:36 they gave you nothing. So you think J.B. had a good game, right? Yeah, he did. J.B. had a good game. He had 33. You think if Jason Tadam played it might have been different? Maybe. Yeah. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I think it would have been different. He wouldn't have had no donut. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? He did something. I think the biggest thing for Philly is that they got a post player in B. See, Boston don't have that. That's why they shoot some in damn threes. They live and die by the three because who posts up on their team?
Starting point is 00:48:11 J.B. And J.T. and J.B. Yeah, but they don't really post up a lot, but they will. You know what I mean? But M.B. is in the post every play. You feel me? Yeah, he may take a three. He may take a mid-range.
Starting point is 00:48:23 But for the most part, we know we can dump it down to him, and he's probably going to get us a file or some buckets. A bucket, one of the other. It ain't many teams. Or you just want to wide up a look because you better come doubling. You see what I'm saying? So it ain't many teams that have B's left in the NBA that can really do a little bit of both,
Starting point is 00:48:41 meaning to score inside out. Embed is probably one of the most unique ones. I know the Knicks have some OKC, the Spurs. Hell, even I like Minnesota with Jew Randall. But Joe, why have you trade for Busevic if you're not going to play it? Right. He's the guy that can pull Joel and Bede from. the basket. He's a guy that can rebound. He can pass the basketball.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Why not play Vucevich if you traded for him? And you gave up a guy that was pretty good off the bitch and the guy you got from Portland. Wow. Anthony Simons. I think, you know what? I don't know. I wonder if Vosovic was too much of a liability defensively, you know, considering the fact that he'd be guarding M.B. And that pick and roll, him having to guard Maxie or get back to M.B. because defensively, hell, he ain't going to get you nothing defensively.
Starting point is 00:49:36 You just got to hope he makes shots offensively, speaking of Vuce. So I don't know what Boston was doing in, you know, that part. But give Philly credit, bro. I want to get Paul George credit, too. I think he was pretty consistent throughout this whole series. I agree. Did he erupt for 30 or 40 points? Nah, but that ain't what they need right now.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Nope. They didn't need that for him. They needed him to be consistent and play great defense. I think a lot of what he'd done did not show up in the stats sheet. I thought he played great defense on Tatum and Brown. That is it too. And maybe, you know, the thing is
Starting point is 00:50:13 that Paul George is going to have to be able to defend because, you know, look, Ubrae, I thought, you know, they put Ubrae on Brown. They try Paul George. They can throw a lot of different looks at it. And so now, Brunson, you've tried to tell him. Etcham problem is going to start out on Brumson. You think so?
Starting point is 00:50:31 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. The question is they're probably going to start McHale Bridges or O.G. On Maxi. You can't put Brunson on him. Brunson can't say it.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I think they start Bridges on Maxie and OG going to have to deal with Paul George. Yeah. I think if you feel he, though, I don't think the Knicks really, really scare you. Kind of like how Boston, because of Tateman Brown,
Starting point is 00:51:01 that's so prolific as far as scoring. Yeah, we know OG can score. He didn't have big games, especially in the series against the Hawks. Bridges can, you know, give a take. But I don't think this should be too tough of a series for Philly, fellas, if y'all really won't, you know. I think Philly got some guys who they can throw at Boston. Right. And, I mean, got some guys that can throw at the Knicks and give them hell, man.
Starting point is 00:51:26 They got some guys coming off their bench who can go, too. Yeah. So you, damn, you didn't, damn, Joe, you didn't gay to goddamn Siri to Philly, huh? I just, I'm leaning a little bit toward Philly. Okay, okay. I know people are going to say, damn, the Knicks beat is Hawks, so he ain't, no. I just, what I seen from Philly, obviously, Maxie, and if M.B. can continue to play like this.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Yes, we ain't got no back-to-backs, Uncle Ocho. No, right. You know, you're going to have at least a day or two in between. So I think that should keep M.B. pretty healthy. And I just think the Knicks going to have, they going to have a problem trying to stop him. Because what do you do? Do you double him or do you play in one-on-one and let him get his points? If you double him, you open up the floodgates for Ubrae, Paul George, Edgum, Grimes coming off the bench, Edwards coming off the bench.
Starting point is 00:52:17 They got guys who can shoot that ball and who can score. So I just feel, I feel like Philly got, they got what it takes. And you remember last time he was beat up. He said he's probably 30, 40 percent. he had that big old knee brace on. Yeah. Now, he's much,
Starting point is 00:52:34 he's much, he's more healthy. Yeah, he's about 60% than he was the last time they play. They got their hands full. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:41 They're going to have their hands full now. Yeah. But it's going to be a great, I think it's going to be a really good series. I think it's going to be a good series. Cat's going to have to break, going to have to play some of his best ball. But Kat can pull him away from the basket.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Yeah, he can pull him away from the basket. But if you Philly, you're thinking, damn, can Cat really beat up? us from the three though. I mean, he got to go six for 10 from three to really beat us. He's capable of doing it too.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Yeah, well, he's gonna have to show us. He's gonna have to show us now. But he gotta keep, huh? He gotta stay down there and that, and that goddamn. No, he can't bang with him beat. No, sir. That ain't no matchup you want posting up and beat.
Starting point is 00:53:20 No, sir. You wanna keep him beat away from that basket, oh, yeah. Now you take, now you make him one dimensional. Now he makes himself one dimensional. Let's say he can't. Let's say maybe he can't because Embed is much bigger. Go down there and they can prove, prove, prove, prove, prove, prove wrong.
Starting point is 00:53:40 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This ain't the chance. They didn't say the time to be proving nothing, don't you. Hey, Cat made his presence in the last series. He made his present and felt down in the box, not by the goddamn arc. That's a conwood. That's not Joel and B. And then you got another big body when he, Joel and B goes to the bench,
Starting point is 00:54:02 his drum dog. He ain't post no drum dog He ain't got no bricks in his back pocket Hey they got They match up well Because look if you got Mitchell Robinson Playing against drumming That's a hell of a matchup
Starting point is 00:54:14 Uncle Ocho Yeah that's a matter Cat against M.B Going to be a hell of a matchup Considering the history that they have It's been a little chippy when they play against each other I think If Cat yeah if Cat making that jump shot
Starting point is 00:54:27 It's going to be a long series But I can't see him being consistent to where he's going five for eight, six for ten from three, because that's what he's going to need. But here's the thing. Brunson got to guard somebody. Put him on Paul George.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Paul George, get your ass down in the post. Yep. Ubrey, you got a decided advantage. That's what he's going to guard. That he's going to guard Uber. He ain't guard Maxie. Okay, well, hey, Uber, I'm going to need you to, hey, Ubre, I can get some easy buckets down there.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Well, he got, Ubrey got to stay busy, Uncle Ocho, meaning he can't be a standstill target just waiting for the ball to come to him. He got to be cutting back, though, setting back kicks. You got to do the little small, minute things to be, to be effective in this series for Ubre. Yes, he can catch and shoot the three. I think he going to do that well. But at the same time, he can't let Brunson just rest. So, you know, you got to keep his ass second guessing, bro. Be be in the pick and roll, be the screener.
Starting point is 00:55:29 You know how you seek out? Okay, boom, Brunson guard, Ubrae, you come set this pick. You know, I think that's typically, I think it's going to be Philly's approach. And Maxis is always going to be looking to probably get that mismatch, get Brunson on him. Yes. I don't like, I don't like what I'm hearing from y'all, man. What do you don't like? I don't like what I'm hearing from y'all.
Starting point is 00:55:51 What do you want to bet? Game one? You want bet on game one? Hey, not Joe. Joe, you ain't paid me from you ain't paid me from the Hulk series. Joe, so we're going to leave it alone. I don't like the fact that we ain't giving the goddamn Nick's credit after they was
Starting point is 00:56:05 after what you did to the host. I don't like the fact that we didn't. Let me finish. Let me finish. I don't like the fact that we're not giving goddamn Carl Anthony Towns you know, any credit just because he'd get ready to face goddamn Joel and B and got damn drumming
Starting point is 00:56:21 saying, oh, he can't go down in the block and he can't post up because they that much bigger. I don't like that. We ain't giving them boys no credit. I don't like the fact that you basically telling me goddamn cat can't have no goddamn game unless he shoot the midi or the goddamn three
Starting point is 00:56:38 all series long. What's his advantage? You still can't allow him to dictate and make you one dimensional because we feel he can't do it. He don't have no choice but to do it. He don't have no, I'm just saying. First of all, Cat is not a post player.
Starting point is 00:56:57 That's not what he can post, but he prefer. What did he show? he could do in the last series. But he's posted up, I can get dying and be aggressive in the pool. He's posting up a guy six nine. Joel and B to seven to three hundred plus. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Oh, okay. No, no. No, we ain't going. Okay. Get out, get off me. Back up. It's best, man, and they got like a little, they've been going at it back and forth over the years.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Man, I'm going. you in the blender down here, man. I don't care. I don't care I pick you as. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.
