DraftKings the crown is yours. Juju what do we got? Last week Thursday Thunder as you already knew it, two out of three once a damn game. But tonight we finna ride the ship baby. You dig it. Ant-Man had a lackluster game last game against the Warriors until the second half, he kicked in and showed himself that if I just drive this ball to this hole,

can't nobody stop me. So I'm going with my dog Ant-Man to get over 27.5 points tonight. You dig it. Next leg. Big bounce back game like juvenile. Next leg, I'm going with the glove, Jr. You feel me?

Because with Steph Curry being out, he's been one of the Presences that has kind of helped out on both ends of the floor. And I'm going with my brother Gary Payton Jr. for over 1.5 assists tonight. Should be a piece of cake. Or a shallot. Right. And for the last- Don't jinx it, Juju. Anytime I go in thinking a bet's gonna be a piece of cake,

I end up losing said bet. Don't say that. Right, right, I'll take it back. It's gonna be the roughest two assists in the history of the sport. Of course it's- No, I'm kidding. And for the last leg, I'm sticking with the glove jr. The glove jr. gonna be out there last game he had 26 minutes important minutes and he also had a couple threes so tonight

I'm going with the glove jr. over 0.5 threes that's one threeinter which will be the hardest three-pointer in postseason history Lock it in baby. I like it. I like it. I like them Juju so Overall last night another great game Celtics. Well, maybe not for you. Sorry Well, what are your takeaways from last night's laws by the Celtics? Brother, Taylor Jenkins, I see you. Michael Malone, I see you. Let's make history, Boston Celtics.

Fire Joe Missoula today. Wow. Game, between game two and game three. Mid-series. Get him out of here. Right, okay. Yes. Yeah.

And replace him with who? I mean. Replace Sam Cassell is on the bench with the biggest set that you ever seen. You feel me? I think that, let my boy go watch the town, go do what you do, brother, because it's no way in Hades that you don't make an adjustment after game one. Let alone when game two starts happening,

you see the same stuff happening and you just letting folks just, bruh, Jason Tatum had the worst shot in the history of the NBA. I got it on my phone. I should have sent it to the video team, but it was a lot going on today. I'm going to just put it up to the screen. Al Horford is wide open under the gold.

Jason Tatum is in the corner. Jalen Brunson is on his face in the paint. Past the damn bar to Al Horford's two points in front of you. No, of course he launched a brick. Of course they launched seven more bricks consecutively after that. How do you do the same thing two games in a row? I'm not, I thought I would be upset as hell,

but this is just like, you have a homeboy and you outside and you see your homeboy girlfriend in the club cheating her ass off. And you go back to your homeboy and you outside and you see your homeboy girlfriend in the club cheating her ass off. And you go back to your homeboy and say, hey bro, I seen your girl in the club. She was cheating, man. And he like, nah, that wasn't her. I don't believe you.

As a matter of fact, get out of my face. And then you go back to the club again and she's busting it wide open again for the same brother. Guess what? I don't care anymore. Y'all don't care. I don't care. Get them out of here.

How dare you do this? They're soft. S-O capital F-T. The Celtics are soft right now. Take the ball to the hole. How dare you do this to us? Sorry, I went on, I blacked out. That's all right.

They're champions. How about- Yes, they are. How about the other- how about the other games? Ah! Dude, how about the other series we had? SGA probably have the greatest playoff performance from a metrics and plus minus number of all time. Yeah, absolutely.

SGA in a, as a great team should do. After they got the game stolen from them last game, they came back and said, no sir, Ree Bob, not on our court. And they put their foot in ass last night. The Joker filed out in the third quarter. It did not matter. That's what you do in a bounce back game that you let down your fans. Do not come back with this.

Joe Mazula, please. I'm sorry to drift back over there. Celtics do the right thing. Fire Joe Mazula today. But yeah, the Thunder did a great job. Yes, they did. Oh, what happened? Oh!

Stugazi should be excited because we've got smoke. Uh-oh. White smoke in the Vatican. Billy's not here, but it seems we have a pope. Get out of here. Get out of here. Who is it?

No name yet. No name yet. Just white smoke. Cylinder wraps. The Filipino pope, Filipino cardinal was leading the group chat. Odd's our favorite? Yeah. Wow.

Back to you guys. So we have a pope, we just don't know the pope's name. Exactly. Edwin Pope. Let. Wow. Back to you guys. So we have a pope. We just don't know the pope's name. Exactly. Okay. Edmund pope. Let's guess. Mark pope. Bill pope. Longtime coach. Everyone pope. Thanks. Steve Martin. Steve Martin pope. Hey, come on man. That's not fair. You're not listening. He said Edwin pope with the first one. I thought he said Eddie Pope. Stub Pope. Eddie Pope's a good name. Eddie Pope is a good name. Juju, how do you feel about Nick Wright today, his appearance on the show?

Man, Nick Wright, I think we did. My boy, Nick Wright in Injustice today. As soon as we got on the on the on the television, we compare him to Pablo Torres, Stephen A. Smith and then other journalists like brother, the Dan, salute the Dan. But I'm pretty sure that the journalists who look down on Nick Wright look up to his bank role. Damn what them journalists got to say. My boy on TV every day doing his thing. His chiefs are better than ever. I'm going to besides a little gaffe against the Eagles. But at the same time, I think Nick Wright is one of the best in the business.

We don't have to pit these folks against each other, especially when we're talking about Pablo. We got to stop going back to the Pablo well every time we want to talk about somebody smart. So look at my peabody brother. But get him out of here when we're talking about Nick Wright. Nick Wright brings something else to this to the to the field. And I think my brother deserves way more respect

than to be compared every time he comes on the show. He's got sauce, Drew. He's got sauce that Pablo doesn't have. Well, and I feel like Juju is blaming all of us where he should just be, blame Dan. I mean, I didn't do anything. Well, I was gonna name names, Stu Gotts. I was just gonna say, well, it's not all of,

we're not doing that. Not we, someone. Well, I named the name, so. Yeah, Dan, don't do that. Like I say, put the journalists who complain about Nick Wright's bankroll in the box and put Nick Wright's bankroll in the box, plus 100 million.

Either here nor there. Don't file Mitchell Robertson. What are you doing? As soon as you file Mitchell Robertson, he ain't taking right out. And guess what? For the rest of the game, they're in the penalty now. Now you filed Jalen Brunson in the clutch time.

Guess what he gets? Two freebies. And now Jason Tatum is a goofball again. Sorry about that. He fouled him twice, fire Mizola. We went back to Celtics talk. I thought we had established it earlier. What are the polls today, Juju?

Give us poll results. Sorry about that. Before the polls, sorry about this, I had this. I don't know what the fine is, $50 or so, but George Springer is out of, he's a Puerto Rican and Panamanian descent. He is not a black man. I mean, I don't, I hate to do that to you, brother.

Are you saying he's a I know black? He's a, he definitely is an I Know Black, bro. And I felt bad yesterday. I was like, dang, I didn't know he was a brother. And comes to find out he is not a brother. Salute to him, though. All right. Do we know that?

Salute. $50, are you fundamentally obligated to love Jalen Brunson right now? 69% of the audience says, Yes, you are. Nice. And I don't blame them. I'm damn near falling in love with them.

Is Joe Missoula a good coach? 78% of the audience says, No, he is not. And I voted as well. All right, Juju. Can you put this on the ball? Should Joe Missoula be fired before game three?

Okay, yes, I would love to do that. Okay, put that on after. Most popular in New York, Jalen Branson or Watt Clyde Frazier. My man. Easy. 66% of the audience says Jalen Branson. Having a moment.

Yeah. Yep. Do you know what Y2K was? 97% of the audience says yes they do. Wow, I'm impressed. Right, 20 CB. Is the Santa hat the greatest hat of all time? 56% of the audience says yes it is. Wow. Right, salute to Tim Allen. Better hat, Santa Claus or Bear Bryant? 55% of the audience says, Santa Claus. Now I wanna stick up for my Southern brother, Bear Bryant.
