Hey guys, Pablo here, and I'm wondering if you've ever wondered if Chet Holmgren might be a descendant of Abraham Lincoln. Because I'm not going to lie, they kind of look alike.

given to the best player or team, having the best week around the NBA. And also a lot more trophies for all of the good and the bad and the simply head-scratching moments around the league. I'm looking at you in specific James Hardin, trying to block your own teammates three-pointer. Now, this is me about to play a clip from the newly day, debuted Six Trophies podcast, and while you're listening, be sure to follow Six Trophies on the Wondry app or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you want to run through your awards picks really quick? I'll run through mine. Here, I'm going to tell you who I think. Most improved, Tyrese Maxie, six-man, Malik. No, six-man Nazreed.

Clutch player of the year, SGA, coach of the year, Mark Dagnall. MVP. MVP. I like SGA for MVP. Rookie of the year. Wimby. Although it feels like these playoff games are going to start to tilt. I know it's not supposed to matter, but I feel like people are going to be like, well, hold on a second. It's impossible to not pay attention to it. He had the big block in the fourth quarter. Like, well, hold on.

Maybe Chet. Maybe Chet. It'd be dumb. It would be so dumb if that were the case. You want to do the little trophies? Let's do them. Let's do the little trophies. These ones change each week in our situation specific that for the smaller storylines that we want to mention, but don't need to get all the way into.

my first little trophy, the Elton John, someone saved my life tonight trophy. To Mark Dagnall for challenging a jump ball, late game situation, the refs call the jump ball. You have Chet, who's nine feet tall, doing the jump, and he challenges it, hold on a second, hold on,

they end up losing possession. If they lose that game, if the Thunder lose that game, that play, that call, gets he gets shredded for that. But SGA saved his life tonight. SGA just comes through. Jay, thank you so much.

Thank you so much because now I'm only going to have to answer like four of those questions. Whereas before, we would have to spend three days talking only about that call. My first little trophy is the Dwight Shrut from the office. Complaints about Jim trophy. Okay, so Dwight, in your own words, someone replaced all my pens and pencils with crayons. I suspect Jim Halpert. Everyone has called me Dwayne all day. I think Jim Halpert paid them to.

This morning I found a bloody glove in my desk drawer, and Jim Halpert tried to convince me I committed murder. I think he may be the real murderer. To the Sixers who plan to file a grievance about the refereeing in the first two games of the series. Yeah. This is on... That's what Darrell does.

I think that not only should there be a grievance, I think they need to push it further. I think there needs to be a serious congressional investigation into the refereeing over the first two games of this series. And I think, and we go from there. If it's jail time, it's jail time. If the Knicks need to be banished to another country, then that's what needs to happen. We need to get to the bottom of what's happened in the refereeing. It pertains to the referee in this first two games of this series because it's a serious, it's a serious crime, I think, allegedly what's going on here.

And I hope they get to the bottom of it. We haven't really spent any time talking about Bucks, Pacers, other than to say the lights are bright and the Pacers look like the lights are bright. Damn, shout out Dame. Shout out Dame. 35 in the first half. Side note, when Halliburton did the Dame time during the playing, and what did Dame say at the time, Hey, I've been there.

We've all been there. You get excited, but just understand where you are in the moment. Man, that's the slow motion clapback from Dame waiting all this time. He was waiting. You knew. To waiting all this time in the cut to just take his revenge now in the playoffs and be like, guess what? This is, I'm like a fish in water. This is where I live.

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the big leagues, my friend. Welcome to my, welcome to the deep pools of water where I live. Incredible performance. Shouts of the bucks. No Janus. And Dame Chris Middleton and those guys just did the thing. Bobby Porter's all with his crazy eyes, all of them. Bobby Porters was playing. I was so happy to see Chris Middleton back in the number two role, which I think is where he fits the best. Yeah. You got to win that game if you're the Pacers. The Mavericks have to be the Clippers without Kauai. The Pacers have to be the Bucks without Yannis. You didn't do it. Tyrese had like seven shots or something. Like, great.

Like so inactive. I was, it was, I know he's coming back from injury still and it's hampered him. He'd look good down the stretch. But that was a really surprising performance. I was shocked.
