You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Chris Cody, by way of welcome to Juju Gotti here, said that something is missing. He doesn't know what it is on Jason Tatum, but there's something missing. And Juju, you've just seen your Celtics get to the finals. Jason Tatum has had a remarkable amount of success for his age. It feels like we have put a crazy standard on this Celtics team that we are reluctant

to confer greatness on because other players keep getting hurt and they're not doing that to those players, but they're getting no credit for beating teams that are injured. You're a Celtics fan. How are you feeling about everything? You have rolled to the finals. Very few teams have ever had it this easy. Zach Lowe is saying the Celtics got a bye to the finals. Are you afraid of Luca? You'd rather play the young players than, than Luca and Kyrie, right? You'd

feel safer against Minnesota than you do against Dallas, yes? Nah, I actually feel the opposite. I think we'll have an easier time with Luca and Kyrie and them boys than Minnesota, even though they, of course, are up 3-0 right now. But yeah, man, whatever happens right now, as long as the Pacers didn't go, I'm a happy camper because everybody knows how much I love Ant-Man and I love Kyrie Irving as well. So I don't have the heartbreak down the line

like recent years. And that's the scariest thing. Having the Miami Heat be the people in your right here, that's, oh, I hate that. And the New York Knicks right here in your shit just, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah,

gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah Knicks fans and Heat fans, the fact that you get to avoid their hot breath in your face, that you get to avoid TJ McConnell and the Pacers advancing, you're already golden, it doesn't even matter what happens from here. I'm going with him, baby. I love Ant-Man, I love Kyrie Irving. I'm going, but I'm a Celtics fan.

Let's just put it that way. I'm gonna stick to the guns. When it comes to Jason Tatum, we saw flashes and glimpses of what I've been wanting to see from them. Take that ball to the hole. If Andrew Nemhard is guarding you and you don't take the ball to the hole you're coming to the bench if I'm Coach Mazula. If TJ McCollum is on you and you don't take him to the hole come sit by me and that's the kind of mentality that Jalen Brown discovered.

I still saw a lot of fade away three-pointers from Jason Tatum and a couple of missed layups but at the same time he's putting a better effort towards getting to the rack than I usually see for him and that's what's gonna make the difference. You're benching Tatum Juju, you're benching anybody. Al Horford, if you if Nim Hart is on you and you don't take his ass to the rack, come sit by me. That's what I asked the coach and I'm looking for. Sam Kassell would have said that. What do we have in terms of criticism and commentary on today's show? I didn't think we did enough. I felt that Stugats was in a little bit of pain because he lost this weekend

the championship by one goal. He cares deeply about everything going on with Northwestern and his daughter and I felt like it was too raw for him to make as much fun of him as I'd usually make when one of your sports friends is in pain. Yeah he was raw. They were so raw that y'all didn't even get to the WNBA Angel Reese hardfile. She had a situation with Alissa Thomas, two hardfiles back to back, Kaitlyn still being Kaitlyn. Lisa Bluter came to see her, Meg Gustafson, and Kate Martin play against the Vegas Aces. It was a celebration even though the Aces spanked

that behind. Y'all didn't get to a lot of stuff, but as far as the audience well before you before you do this Let's talk about the angel Reese thing because we did mean to talk about this because I mean Those were really hard fouls and we've got we've got some sound here from angel Reese Reacting to what it is that happened to her because it didn't seem clean Right to uh... what it is that happened to her because it it it didn't seem clean right

is not just about my record player i'm a basketball player they don't give a damn if i'm a rookie i mean i want them to come at me everyday i want them to come at everybody they're not supposed to be nice to me i hope you all know that they're not supposed to be nice to me or lay down because i'm angel resource or because i'm a rookie thank you at eight percent of the message to me because I got back up and I kept Going and kept pushing like me and AT have been cool since we were in Maryland

So I know it's not no hard feelings and I appreciate her for going at me every day That's a pretty uncommon grace under those circumstances Brilliance oh my god the young sister. I couldn't put it no better myself. What y'all expect? This competition. Do you not expect Anthony Edwards to not want to behead Kevin Durant in the playoffs? Do you want him to just be like, you're my idol? And yeah, I just, that's all good. No, the sister understands where she at

and still respects her league mate and keeps respecting on her name. What you supposed to do? Nah, fire me hard so I can take you to the rat next time I see you, because I can circle that date on my calendar and make that a bigger deal. Ain't no crying over here.

Ain't no crying in baseball. Neither women's basketball. And then Kaitlyn gets her first win and she just seems sad afterwards. Did you see that sound where she's just like, this isn't very fun for me so far. Look, sis tired, bro. She got a camera in her face every two seconds.

She allowed to be tired and exhausted, you know what she's she's young she from the middle america go to all these this stuff that the expectations and i these deals she probably just all she wanted to is is who but she got this company interface on the cities this company over here so bread so stout more in my opinion if i had to get the sisters just tired tired of not being normal right she has said she has said she craves just having some

activities outside of her house where it is that she could be normal before you get to the commentary and the critique of today's listeners though I want to just put on the screen for you Juju an assortment of photos of Luca standing over defeated opponents here. Which is your favorite from among this montage? You're not going to like the Anthony Edwards one because you're too much of a fan of Edwards. The, the Devin Booker one, the Devin Booker one is the best one, but the Harden one's pretty good too.

Yeah. Yeah. Devin Booker was the classic. It jumped everything off. It's like the dog in the other car looking at a dog in this car. That's petrified. And the James Harden one, it's some psychopath, and I can see some psychopath in Lucas' eyes right there. That's what makes it delicious, like oh yeah. And it's like James didn't know what was coming at him. He was like, huh?

He's like, yo, oh yeah, I come to get you this meme. That's what I come to do. And Anthony Edwards looks like, yeah, keep talking. I got you. You're on my list is the way ant looks Right. It's most sad because ant man had that meme of him in the movie of Adam Sandler movie doing that same exact thing to the Player so yeah this one that one hurts. That's the net. That's that's uncut gems. Is that is that what that was? I was the basketball movie. What's I forgot the name of it. Oh, I can't believe I mean uncut uncut gems He is a basketball movie.

I don't know. It's a gambling movie. No, it's another one. He was Rudy Fernandes. Dang, Rudy Hernandez? Hustle, hustle. Hustle, hustle. Yeah, the movie's called Hustle.

Yeah, salute, hustle. My bad. So what else you got here? Critique from the audience here. Critique from the audience. Anthony Ortiz says, Jeremy looks like an undercover cop. He definitely did that. The other rooms is erupted in laughter after that.

So look, y'all got to back off my dog. Chris, too, you got to look. I'm glad we're here. We got to split. The room was split. And when you cut Jeremy off, it was like he was getting to the heat homer I don't know brother. You might need to let him

Criminally put himself in that position first before you cut him off. I'm a projected stop them All right, let him commit the crime you arrested him while he was still thinking although I'm the crime The look on Dan's face when Jeremy goes for more than 30 seconds. I felt like I needed to get in there The look on Dan's face when Jeremy goes for more than 30 seconds. I felt like I needed to get in there He was like a town cop. He was Tom Cruise of Minority Report. You can't arrest me. I didn't do it I know you got the predictor. So I don't do that and Wayne W also says today Chris looks extra baked for some reason. I don't know if you you hate the pain I'm just sleepy. Dude. Everyone does this to me. I smoke weed but not before work. Okay, I'm never high before work. I'm just sleepy.

I think what you had on you was Sunday's Panther game. I'm telling you, everyone is sleeping on how much that one hurt you guys. I'm not sleeping on it. Roy can hide it all he wants. That's as despondent as I've been walking out of that arena. Just feeling like we should have won that game. When we get to overtime, we already lost the game

with all the chances we had. That was brutal. So many opportunities. like we should have won that game. When we get to overtime, we already lost the game with all the chances we had. That was brutal. So many opportunities. Keeping it with Roy, Thomas Mie says, listening back to the show from Thursday and Friday, Roy absolutely jinxed the Panthers. All that confidence.

Looks terrible on you, Roy, nowadays. Not just Roy. Let's put up that photo again of Chris Cody, please, that Mike Fuentes We don't have to. Betrayed Chris Cody on, because it's not just Roy who is Jinx the Panthers. Chris Cody took a photo over New York in which he was doing the

Oh, they can't find it, damn. The Don Bailey carpet ad commercial here locally. You are, that is a bit of a sensual pose. Mike Ryan made me do like a fashion show. He's like, just work it, work it. I also did like a heart symbol too, it was weird. He tell you to sprawl out like that? The kicks actually, I was trying to get the kicks

in the photo, but of course they're cut off here. Man, brother, it hurt me too, but I was watching that game as well, overtime. Once you get to overtime, it's pins and needles and I saw them score and in my heart just oh dude, so Tonight though, we're over our five. We're back. You're right. You know what good speech by you juju We're back world roar for five. What's he saying? It's five. I don't know which which one doesn't matter Whatever number it is the Panthers in the lightning island. I can't keep a rings minus in my wow. I do look baked AJ mr. Love living he says

Champion all NBA player an eight-time all-star has been a utter disappointment I can read where I can read this better. A champion, an all-MBA player, and an eight-time All-Star is a utter disappointment. Try it again. Let's do it again. Let's do it one more time. Let's do it again. Leave it all in. Champion, All-MBA player, eight-time All--star has been an utter disappointment his entire career LMFAO Stu got shut up and that's what he had to say on Stu gots is a rant against Tyree Kyrie Irving for some reason Nailed it

Right, I mean what I don't know what Stu gots up to it's I think it's a it's people out there no matter what night No matter what Kyrie does for the rest of his life, if you feel a certain way about certain things he's done, it ain't gonna never get no better for you. You feel me? And I understand that. And it's the same way about Colin Kaepernick and all these folks. Because right now, if you can't look at the game and see 33 from Luka, 33 from Kyrie, and salute that. If you lead with any other thing, you don't like that man anyway, so you shouldn't even be commenting,

in my opinion, objectively. That was some quality hating by Stugatz to just dismiss Kyrie, to choose today to dismiss Kyrie Irving after what he's done in that series is unspeakably unfair and maximum stugots but it's projection because he's angry about the weekend like his daughter his daughter they had a six goal lead they started six nothing and they lost by a goal that big lead in that sport that's right that's what he said thank you

Juju good talking to you yes sir
