we're back we're back oh we are live we're here we're going yep it's pulled up we're live here for t3 live episode two or week two what are we calling these are we calling these episodes or how are we doing this these are streams yeah nobody keep track of streams that's lame we're to vibe we're to chat and just yap yeah this is great but yeah man so obviously if you're joining in right now you know the NBA in season tournament is going on right now Pacers versus Celtics is on we're going to be watching along with that I'm going to have the scoreboard on screen for you guys to keep up with us half the stream is going to be that us keeping up what's going on the other half is it going to be us making our own 30 team NBA

bracket tournament you saw it in the title how do you all want to do this I think we should do this based on which team would win in a playoff series and they play each other does that make sense yeah like head to head what's the what's the what's the alternative because that's what I thought we were doing in the first place it could be some people would be like which team is just better like which one you know what you're right i guess that is the only option so yeah you wanted to make an in-season tournament part two we already got it adam's over made for us right here yeah everyone's joining the chat what's up y'all i see crayon spamming the chat love it love it i'll see you guys but yeah like i said we're going to be a 30 team bracket

while we watched the in season tournament game it's all randomized so it was one through 30 two teams have to get a buy in the first round for it to make sense so you're going to see that random teams are in the one in two seed it's all randomized just you know we're going to match it by match up decide who we think is the best team keep you all entertain while you watch the game because you know it's a long game in the fourth quarter we'll lock in and we'll watch heavily right now we're going to do our bracket let's go listen everybody's asking for the skims review mo did you get more skims uh sadly no the budget is not looking right right now prioritize certain things in life get you out the hood first is that what you're saying yeah

Give me out the hood first. Something is a donut to your skim's fun. Nothing is more important to me and snatch. You need to get on that. You need to snatch. Listen, we got all these crowns in the chat. I love it. How are y'all doing?

How are you got in here right now? We got a little over 300 people in here so far. Love it. Get all the crayons going. And what we're going to do? We're going to switch to this media angle. As you'll see, we got the scoreboard on the screen like I told you all. And we're going to do this bracket.

So you see, it's fully randomized here. The Mavs got the one. seed in this randomizer don't pay no mind completely random then we got pissed in 17 16 Lakers all the way down to 30 and the bucks got the two seats so the bucks in the Mavs get a first round by after that things get interesting so let's just let me zoom in if you can see you good get people a second in now we're just gonna start I think we should do this where we'll decide because there's two or three of us after that if there's any you know disagreement we'll

use the chat as the tiebreakers They'll decide for us. The determining factor? Yep. Okay. So first round, we got Pistons versus Lakers. Who did you have got in advancing? The Pistons haven't won a game since, like, 1997.

Like, the last time they... That's all this the other day. 1997 is crazy. Like, it's been forever, you know. It's close. We've got to get the Pistons of respect. But I think we don't. No, we don't.

They just don't deserve respect right now. next time we got nuggets versus rockets oh this is a good game it's actually the nuggets or the rockets cheats yes yeah it's not it's not going to be a stopout no no but that's the thing that's the thing

it's a good game it's a terrible series the nuggets yeah the nuggets obviously win that for sure yeah outmatched outclass yokish versus baby yokits I don't know it could go either way Dailing Green?

I don't know. Shout out to Eme. You're the one that loves Jalen Green. You've had a lot of takes about him being a star in the making. You're not riding with him? Against Yokic? No, sir. No, sir.

I know, listen, I like him a lot. I know his limits. I know where he caps out at. Yolkid is not somebody wants to mess him. Okay. We'll go ahead and give the nod to the Nuggets and keep it moving. Uh-oh. Rematch of last year's playoffs.

Cavs versus Knicks Cavs versus This is a man This is a good ass game right here This is a good ass game right here Yeah Kind of we saw the series It wasn't the best series in the world

The Knicks look better This season than the Cavs That's the obvious But where are you leaning Donovan? Oh the live scores are working Y'all make your picks Don't make your picks Why you want to do?

Did you know where I'm going? Oh you know this is one Let's go ahead and go straight to the chat for this one They don't know. They don't know. Unless they pick the Knicks, then they know. Then they know. Okay, what we're going to do, a little poll.

We're going to have the chat decide this one, because we know we're going to be skewed on this one because Donovan is a Knicks fan. We love the Cavs. So we're going to let you guys decide who wins this matchup. We won in a playoff series against them last year in five. It was easy. It was easy.

It was. Evan Moby, Jared Island, they could not rebound. they would get in thrown around by Mitchell Robinson. The offensive rebounding is still dominant again this year. What's the thing? Because the offense between Garland and Mitchell doesn't seem as fluid as it did last year. So what's your argument?

I don't know. What's your argument? I don't really have one. Honestly, I just wanted to see if we could trigger you into doing a rant. You're right. The Knicks. I got 58% of the votes in the chat so far. I think we're rocking with you.

I think we have to give the Knicks the event. Okay. Okay, listen, they know ball. The chat knows ball. Leave everything up to them. That's hilarious. All right. Next match of Sons versus Trailblazers.

Woo. Sons versus Trailblazers. I'm not even going to pretend like this is a competition. Let's just go Sons. Scoot had his first good game 20 games into the year. So it's definitely the sense. That's hilarious. Are you all watching this?

This game is. 28 28 right now in the start of the second quarter what y'all what y'all predictions for what the final score is going to be porzingis isn't there 28 28 yeah porzingis isn't there we got the number one offense in the league in indiana and in the whole and then the south is what do y'all think the final score is going to be probably what minimum 12120 each side i was going to say 130 to 135 to be honest with you but with the way this game i started out

they're just now crossing like a 30 point mark early into the second quarter so maybe 120 isn't a bad isn't a bad estimate what are y'all chat what did y'all final score prediction chat let us know crayon ears like and so also chat we have over 400

500 people in this right now and we only have 117 likes if you claim yourself to be a real eater show us a real eater let's whoa let's relax let's relax let's relax let's relax

that's right me You know what I mean? A different word. There's a word that goes before that that's very important in this context. I'm seeing 131, 118 pacer's, 120, 130 pacer. I can see somewhere in the low 1.30s for the winning team. 118, 124. I like that range.

Yeah. They're going to have to turn up because, like, most of they just, Indiana just got to 30. So I'm pretty sure there's going to be like a five-minute stretch where everybody's just pulling threes. and it's just going to be open gym. So, yeah. Yeah, I can see one-thirty.

All right, let's keep pushing on this bracket. Jazz and Timberwolves, we don't got to talk about. Let's just go Timberwolves, keep pushing to something interesting. Okay, finally, a competitive one. Bulls versus Nets. Who we got here? You just continue to save the Chicago Bulls. You know they have been good over the last two games, but I'm going to roll with it.

I'm going to roll with it. Okay, let's say in this, listen, Zach Levine hasn't played in two games. They won both of them. Let's say in this world they don't have Zach Levine. Can they beat the Nets in one game? No. Is Cam Thomas playing? What did you say?

Is Cam Thomas playing? Yes. He's giving him 50. Like, it's not a question for me. I'm taking the Nets. All right. Nets it is. Bang.

Magic versus Spurges. Testing the Nets too. Yeah, this is an easy one. Honestly, Cam Thomas is quickly becoming one of my favorite players to watch. He came back. this past couple games ago and i was like oh my god the goat is back i have to watch the net's game which i had it done in a week because cam thomas wasn't there he's on your fantasy team and he's carrying he moves the needle quick question how do you play when he came back

he had 26 in 25 minutes i think god damn it's just a bucket i guess what guess what zero assist i think or one assist now that's real hooper that's that's real hooper i like that i love That is what New York ball is about. Next one we got is Magic versus Spurs. I don't know if we got to spend a whole lot of time I'm talking about this. I don't want to talk about. We know how Donovan feels about the Spurs. We don't got to put him through any misery.

He has not been a fan to say the least. They did something even worse compared to the last time we talked about it. They bench Devin Bissell. Yeah, well, I think that's also like a minstriction thing as it comes back from injury. I'm hoping. Otherwise, it's just dumb. Yeah. We'll hope there's some logic behind there and it won't stick.

It's looking bad. Here's an interesting one. We're going to a poll one for this because we got Clippers versus Warriors. How do y'all feel? They just played each other twice and they split the series. Yeah, they just played each other twice. But with those two games, I still think the Warriors did look a little bit better, even though on paper, of course, the Clippers have the better team.

But that doesn't really matter. So I might lean warriors I'm going to lean towards the greatest Of all the all the time Person Come on This is perfect al-DU To finish it off with this Clippers hate

I'm taking the Warriors Their problem though is like they Also can't figure out how to hold leads Like they've blown multiple like They blew a 24 point lead against Sacramento They were up 19 against the Clippers Blew that And so it's like

I don't really know If you're going to give them a game sure but like in a seven game series they could probably win for it so i think i'm gonna take them i do not have any faith at all in the golden state warriors at this point of the season not even a little bit i feel like they're entirely watched and i have no hope of them winning the title i also have no hope of the clippers win the title so i do not know where to go with this listen they just this is one game right no it's a seven game series seven game series okay seven game series okay yeah uh yeah if it if it's one game a lot of these could like potentially be flipped yeah i'm still going to warriors

i'm okay well listen chat has chats currently has 61% golden state warriors so i think even if i'm the one that wants to doubt the warriors it doesn't even matter because i'm being outvoted love it okay so as i just came in to see my clippers spread the clippers hate as far and wide as you can we are spreading the gospel that the clippers are fraudulent that they are not your basketball team tell everybody you know please please it's long yeah i uh see in the chat someone said i came in to see my clippers get bashed and i'm not disappointed get passed oh wow golden state warriors you advance the next round

what a word i love it heat versus points we are we're consistent yep there's one thing we're going to have some hatred led by donovan and it's going to be directed towards the clippers hit the ISO and he's going to call at the clippers every time get the fuck out the way give me the ball no you know it that's great so heat versus hornets is anybody going to go the hornets way sorry man nope what are you telling really you want me to try the miami heat do you want me lamello is your king i go against that's your guy four black SUVs will hop out we'll close my curb right now And they'll probably sacrifice me.

I'm never picking the heat. I'm never picking against you. Fuck that. Yeah, I didn't honestly. I'd take Miami. All analysis is out the window. I'm all, so first of all, the hornets aren't just the hornets,

so we're not, we're picking the heat regardless. But for much of this tournament, all analysis is out the window when the heat came up on the board because who wants to pick against the voodoo black magic of Pat Riley? Yeah, I was not really wrong to start the season.

I'm not doing that again. So I'm said Charlotte. Yeah, I might as well pick them to win the title like that's just at this point. That's just how it goes. That's hilarious. Look at the chat. Fellow Monkey just joined. Appreciate you, Mr. Monke. I love those memes. That has to be racist. No, it's a meme. It's like this like toy that people sell it that people on TikTok throw off a buildings. It's great. It's like that's one of these things that if I tried to explain the trend, it sounds like I'm speaking a different fucking language. Did you just call it racist and let's move on. When you have to explain it like that. I promise, it's okay.

Baby cake said James Hardin's honeybund addiction is getting to him. Random stray. Wow, that's crazy. This is great. Celtics versus Wizards. He keeps saying it. He keeps saying that James Harder has a honeybun addiction. Do you know something?

Do you know about the honeyblum? Does he have him in the locker? Please give us the intel. We're skipping Celtics versus Wizards. Moving on. Wizards are one of those teams we just don't talk about. It's against the rules.

Thank you. Pelicans versus Grizzlies. Let's assume John Morant is back. Everyone's fully healthy. This one is actually interesting. I'm taking the pelicans. Okay, explain. Yeah, no Stephen Adams.

I'm assuming they have to build some type of continuity. Their team is too thin. Like, Yonis Valenudence is the humongous body of Corey Zine and Zion. All those shooters around Zon are now. Trey Murphy is back. I think they're just out.

class in this in the situation okay done everything changes though like when you get job in the building exactly offense is just different and it's not like oh we have to watch uh what's your man's name the the the uh for don't brooks oh no no no no no Desmond bade geo dude yeah yes yes it's completely different than if you have Joe dude running pick and if you have Jai running pick and roll and the offense actually opens up and Jaron Jackson isn't your second option and he can just stand back and get threes. I think I might take Memphis if Jaya is playing. Right now we got 60% Pelicans, 61% Pelicans. I implore y'all, chat. Don't overreact to the fact that the Grizzlies suck now. It's not the point. Think about what the Grizzes looked like

last time you saw him with John Morant. That is a team we're talking about here. That is a team that was the two seed, has made the playoffs every year, and has been consistently great. with John Morant on the court. The Pelicans, on the other hand, cannot be trusted at all. There are somebody who doesn't get hurt. They have like three, four injury-prone players that are vital to them.

I guess that doesn't matter if we're talking about full-team health. But I trust the Grizzlies and what we've seen them do consistently for, what, three years now under John Morant, way more than I do the Pelicans as a team that we haven't seen make a deep run. We know they don't have a ton of passers.

We know they have like four defensive players that aren't particularly good in the starting lineup. It all comes down to Herb Jones when they have everybody healthy. I don't know any reason to not pick the Grizzlies. Listen, we might be losing. We might be losing. I'm seeing a lot of Buns over guns in the chat.

A lot of people are going towards New Orleans. On top of Buns versus Buns over Guns thing, I'm Team Buns for sure. You got a trip to be in Team Guns. Stephen Adams is not going to be there. And then on top of that, Brandon Clark, still not there. And so your main rotation bigs are going to be, Bismek Bionbo, good luck, brother.

They're not stopping Tile Wims, you know what I'm saying? Salty Al-Gama, good luck. They're screwed. All right, well, I had no success convincing the chat. We're still at 63% Pelican, so it's cooked for us. We're going with buns over guns, as chat requests. Cramy eating, we love it. Next up, we got Hawks v. Kings.

This is a shootout from hell, man. Mo, I want to hear from you. You're on the ISO cam. Do the Hawks move you enough to defeat the Sacramento Kings? Why are you asking? Because it looked like you just try to like, like, so with your Hawksaw? You're on the big screen, Mo. It's your moment.

Tell us who wins. Yeah, no, I don't have, the Hawks' offense isn't as consistent as I would love it to be. Right now, Jayon Johnson is down, so that hurts us a little bit. So I'm probably going to lean towards the Sacramento Kings. Deering Fox is just moving different, man. He's reached, I don't want to see superstar level because there's only like maybe six or seven of those in the NBA, but he's like with what he's been playing like this season,

he's pushing like top 12 best players in the league. He's been incredible for sure. With what he's been doing, adding to shooting is just impossible. He's unguarded with how their system is played. I just think we're one Trey Young five or 20 game to be like getting our ass lit up. you know so it's it's not a question yeah i donovan i imagine you also pick the kings yeah i'm taking them yeah there's no reason to pick the kings right now if the the argument

for the hawks would be there are top five offense defensively not particularly good but maybe in the series they'll lock in because they have some defensive talent to hide their deficiencies and the offense wins out with quince Snyder who's proven to be able to coach high-level offense as a playoff series and not you know not fall apart offensively You can say the same shit about the Kings who are just better at everything, the same archetype of team, have a better point guard right now, better supporting cast,

better secondary star and sub bonus over Dejante Murray. I don't know why you wouldn't pick the Kings. You got to do it. They are a broken finger away from probably winning a playoff series last year, and it's been a long time since Atlanta, or I guess not that long of a time, but it feels like a long time since Atlanta won a playoff series.

So I'm taking that way. Let's see Ben Simmons and walking through those doors. Exactly. What was that? Big Hardin isn't walking through those doors. That's funny. I'm trying to balance looking at this and watching the game at the same time.

I just had a spinning layup. Look at that. That's my favorite bald man. Look at him good. Baldy man? Look at bald man with his bag. Cutting his hair was the best decision he's ever made in his like entire life, basically.

He's a different of me. Is his aura better now that he's bald? I would say so for sure. I would say so for sure. Yeah. are we pro derrick white ora yeah i mean yeah we we are

pro derrick white because he's rocking the baldie with confidence you know what I'm saying he's with confidence is it with confidence he went bald because he didn't want to get bullied like everybody just kept cooking his hairline so he was like i have to do this

like i don't know if he likes it he might want to go to turkey and get the hair transplant but he can't because people are out here on twitter making jokes like okay okay so if derrick white comes out this season bald new era and then next season does come back with a hairline from Turkey would we respect them

more or less than if you stayed bald? I think more? You were expecting to get a new hairline? Yeah. Listen, the transplant, listen, okay, we're about to break this down real quick between the transplant and the man weave. And the difference is, the man weave is very quick, right?

That's instant oatmeal, that's microwave. Instant oatmeal. Right? You show up on a Friday. What's Tyree's Big Three? Listen, you show up on a Friday with the fade. You show up on Monday with dreads. We don't respect that.

But the transplant, that's a whole process. There's a healing process that goes to it. You have to earn your way back to a hair line. That's why I respect that more than the man weep. You know what I'm saying? That's the difference. So you, which NBA players have gotten hair transplants? So you're pro-Koron Butler, pro-Lebron James, but anti-Jimmy-Buddling?

No, no, Karam Butler had, well, I can't remember if it was during his playing career. But afterwards, he got the man-weat. Oh, he the man we've? Okay, I thought he had a transplant. No, he had like a toupee. He didn't just sitting on his head. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. While he was playing, God, man, that must have been expected as hell.

Everyone spammed in the chat. Don, Don, Don, Don, spam everybody. Everyone loves a good Don ISO, a good rant. We got to call for it. I need to make another, like, button for that, Don ISO. Listen, throw it to me at the elbow. That's why I'm, that's where I'm scoring. Now, Derek White is hooping right now.

What are you doing that? The ball there is crazy. This is the best season of his career so far. Baldy with a beard and has the daughter and has the child. That's the sensitive part. He's a player plus kid plus dad energy. Yeah. He's playing as if he got bills due tomorrow every single night.

Someone said this season dame shooting like a two-arm amputee. Look that guy. That was viral TikTok with one arm dribbling. He was fucking mixing everybody. That is crazy. That's how Dave's shooting That's nuts That is okay

Emmanuel Hansel Oh that is Sad on him He's a bucket As we want to the next Let's finish off this first round of the bracket We're back on commercial break in the game Raptors

versus the Thunder Does anybody have an argument for the Raptors? Man Dennis Shurter has been playing well Scarley Barnes has improved But other than that Ain't nobody holding okay see

all right all right everyone I don't want to hear anymore I don't want to hear any more I don't want to hear any more

Moe just told the GM to go to to go to a psychiatric war like we can't yeah yeah

someone said jessor is one more awards than the clippers jessor jessor got a few

streamies he's beating the clippers he has a better legacy of the clippers that it's crazy right next one

this is kind of interesting I feel like I know we are leaning but it's not a no-brainer, I don't think. All right, maybe it is. 76ers versus Pacers.

It would go seven, but I'm taking Philly. I'm not sure it would go seven. I think in a playoff setting, the Sixers might stomp, but the patient, it would be hard fought because you got to out-shoot the shit out of the Pacers every game.

Exactly. But I think defensively, their defense is horrid, for some reason, even though they have Miles Turner, who is a legitimately great rep protector, they just have O-Lay defense at the rim, anybody can come and get it, put that against the league MVP,

one of the best scored in the league currently, and Tyrese maxi who is looking like a top 10 point guard this year, I don't see any way they can defend those triple handoffs. We're seeing a lot of paces in the chat. We really are. What the fuck? All right, let me start. Howley cooking them?

Y'all really think that they're cooking, like cooking Philadelphia. Listen, I know we don't like the 76ers. Iceland or Juelan B as much as anybody. but we have to like we have to recognize they've been legitimately great this year let's be for real yeah no we we 100% can do that i'm starting to pull right now let's see because there's so much paces in the chat y'all really don't fuck with the sixers what's this going to end up as i'll i say we let chat decide because they're we're so one way and they're so the other way i think we just go whatever they say chat y'all got two minutes right now it's 56%

76ers so all y'all patience in the chat might be cappin you might just be talking just loud and wrong I mean Halliburton's great I think the 76 I trust Nick Nurse to not get obliterated by Halliburton he's the type of coach he's a very aggressive coach at least he was with Toronto they're gonna bliss the shit out of him and make buddy healed outstute them which you know he's buddy healed so he's gonna do that

but you're gonna need him and OB Topin Benedict Mathur and Bruce Brown I think they're gonna make those guys beat them and I don't know if that supporting cast is up for a full seven games of having to carry the load this is just simply the Indiana Patriots being outmatched and that's just simple as that as good as they are offensively defense matters the most in the playoffs and that's something that they that's just something that's not built in their game plan their scheme or anything like that pro so this is pretty easily going to the sixers and I would say this is going to them than like six or five i wouldn't go yeah i'd say six yeah five i don't think five or seven

the pacers are too good offensively to get just completely bitched out of a series but i also think the 76ers are incredible and they're not going to let it go seven either yeah there's no way that's happening but it's looking like y'all a bunch of cappers mr pacer's in the chat because we have 59% 76ers so everybody that's silent is over there being logical shout out y'all we're going with the 76ers Isaac put put the out take graphic out what i'll take Damn. That's a little disrespectful. Y'all got to fight back.

Sorry, chat. We better come harder next time. Yeah, this chat is crazy right now. Embed matters in the playoffs, and that man crumbles. Yeah, this is all under the assumption everybody's healthy. In reality, Embed is never healthy for a full playoff run, so you're cooking. But in our scenario, with our tournament, we've got to assume everybody's healthy. Pain.

All right, we want to the second round. Checking back in with his season. game currently the Boston is up six with about behalf a minute left in the first half yeah I think second half we're a lock in and watch more so we're gonna fly through a lot of this bracket in the third quarter because fourth quarter we're gonna do like a real watch along it's gonna be fun it's currently a good game yeah your stream is ahead of mine yeah that sucks it's obvious I got trench to Wi-Fi I'm still in the first quarter five minutes left I'm just kidding that'll be so bad shout to the same streams but um yeah

I'm in the second quarter to two, minute left. Someone's like, get a better hairline, Isaac? I have long hair. What do you want for me? Like I'm getting edge-ups? They're just yapping. They're just yapping. I'm kidding.

Next up we got second round. We're starting. The maps are the first round by off of randomness. So their first set match up, Mavericks versus Lakers. This is might piss people off because people fucking love Luca. Lakers are Lakers. Where are we going? Oh, man, having to face the Mavericks seven times and having to beat them four times, it's kind of hard to do.

It's really hard to do. So I might say the same thing for LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Yeah, that is true, but it's day-to-day Davis in the playoffs. You've seen what he did. Donovan called it out in the playoffs last year. You'll see 15 one-night, 45 the next, 12-1-night, 30 the next. True, but you'll see DPOI defense every night, which is pretty fucking valuable in the playoffs series against a team that is very often. offensively oriented very pick and roll heavy they have the best pick and roll

defender in the league right there as the big man they have yeah some solid defensive wings over there that can do their do the best they can but you know Lucas Lucas Lucas is a handful obviously Eileen Lakers on the Bias party where are you guys standing listen the Lakers don't have Sir William so I mean he's the X factor Greg Williams oh key no key now but I'll go with the Lakers though yeah I trust the duo of LeBron and AD more than the duo of Luca and Kyrie. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair.

I mean, LeBron this year has not really slowed down. But when it's coming into the season, everybody kind of thought he'd be taking a backseat and looking like old man because it's the first night of the season, he kind of wasn't looking too great against the Nuggets. He's kind of just recovered. He started trying hard again and looks to still be a top 10 player. And if that's the case, Lakers have two fringe top 10 players, a legitimately good supporting cast.

Awesome reason to keep getting better as his shooting comes back around. Delo has been great. Slept on under-talked about, but Delo has had a legitimately great season. He wants him to ship him to China. That's insane. I'm folks.

I didn't want him on my team, but I view him as kind of a rental, which he still is. You know, he's on a one-year contract with the player option. He's going to opt out of that motherfucker and get more money. So he'll probably get traded eventually,

but if he doesn't, he's been legitimately really good. I think the Lakers probably have more defensive gas in the playoffs that I think matters. but I don't know I agree I agree let's go LA

what's Chatsin I got to pull up 51% math 49% Lakers join 260 you all voted if there was going to be an upset at any point in this tournament or in this bracket that we created

All right We are at 330 votes Lakers are at 51% Oh, Lakers narrowly win We're going Keep it pushing Lakers advance All right

Next matchup we got Nugges versus Nix Donovan Do you have any desire to argue for the Knicks No yeah, I got it I'll be quiet on these ones I know my place

That's great dear You pick your battles wisely Suns versus Timberwolves This one is probably the best matchup we have so far I Let you all go first What are you guys thinking? Oh man this is so tough

Because the suns have It's not tough It's not tough They're both generally good You can't say it's not No I know I know that then genuinely good The Timberwolves are going to win

In a playoff series against the Suns Oh I thought you're going the other way Man, that's what I'm saying. You can't, you can't just be so ten toes on the ten rules. No, I mean, like, stand on it like that. Listen. Don Iso. Call it.

The center matchup is Rudy Gobert versus Yusuf Nurchage. Like, Rudy Gaubert is going crazy against Narkich, right? Yeah, exactly. Anthony Edwards is fantastic. Kevin Durant cannot get to the rim, and I promise you, McDaniels might lock him up. Like, like, he will have him in low-key jail. Not like hard prison, but like white-collar prison. You know what I'm saying?

Like, it would probably be in that way. The minimum security? Yeah. He'll be in Litchfield. I think, also, and if cat is hooping, the way he's been playing this year, they have too much size for Phoenix. And I think that they would beat them in the playoffs. Okay.

Mo, where you stand? Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, me personally, I'm going to probably lean towards, it's tough because the wolves have been clearing the court on both ends. Meanwhile, the sons, they've been doing their thing on offense, but of course, they have the use of Nurki, who shows up who has, like, a good game in one in every three or four games. That's just who he is, and I think that holds them back a lot when you're going against a team of giants and Rudy, not as Reed, and Cat, of course, and then they got two. People in the chat are spamming Mo has a get. What does that mean?

What does that mean? What does that mean? Do you know what in the trunk? I'm drunk in the trunk. What's that? How am I like, jeez? Good. Sweet heavens.

This is the old-known phrases on death. Everyone spam, Mo has a cat. No, don't you do not stand that. Your mother may be watching this stream. Good God. Not my mother. He is not watching YouTube streams of this hour. At this hour, it's 17.

Oh, my God. Speaking of Gats, also real quick, two seconds. Do you guys see the GAT trailer? Speaking of gas. Sorry. Yeah, it looks hard. People were talking about that in the chat. I see Mo Gat in the comments.

They're spamming it. Moeget, what would you see? People were spamming Mo has a Gat. It's hilarious. As soon as I get my hands on DTA 6, I'm hitting every single club. Let's keep moving. Nasty man. You are a nasty man.

Look, when I was 12, no, when I was 13, 15 years old, you can tell me nothing. What were you doing? You don't know. You're disgusting. You're actually nasty. You never went there when you were. When you were little, you never went to the club or you never had somebody come in your car? Listen, I believe the thing.

You're lying. Anyways, I think we should also lean the Timberwolves or the Phoenix Suns. If the sons get Bradley Bill and Devin Booker healthy at the same time, they might have a higher, they do have a higher ceiling. We haven't seen it yet, and I know we're assuming health, but we literally haven't seen it a single time, other than like preseason games and I think one game. I don't know how we don't give the Timberwolves a credit at this point. Screw it, do it. Yeah, the Timberl's got to be given the credit. Bro, they're saying Mo Cheeks.

They call on Mo Cheeks. Mo Cheeks, that's great. That is a great name. That is Mo Cheeks from now on. Not going to lie, that is a great nickname. Not for me, but in general it's a great nickname. That's fantastic. That's fire.

Mo Cheeks. That's hilarious. Span the likes for Mo Cheeks. This is fantastic. We have 426 likes. Span the likes for Mochees. Let's get some more. Run them up.

Span the likes and you're getting blocked eternally for life. You're going to have to make another account to help in this TD3 live stream. I'm going to banish you into the shadow realm. Let's be one of the next matchup. Nets versus Magic. How are we feeling? This is a good game. No, it's not the Magic Stomp.

Magic is still winning. I'm going the same way. Magic defense is legit. Franz Impalo are legit Jalen Suggs is fucking Marcus Smart reincarnated, I love him Go Good Batad's Day is an elite backup center Mo Wagner's an elite backup center

They just have so many good players Yeah, so many good players I agree, yeah The Lando Magic are no more No longer a 500-ass team Or nowhere in that range You know what I'm saying? In the Brooklyn Nets Simply outclass

Give me a lot of Madge Everyone's so reading the comments Everyone spam and Mo do the thugshake. What's a thugshake? Donovan, someone did the thugshank. You look like you can do it. Nah, no, no, no.

They're asking for you to do that. I don't know what that is. So give me an example. Nah, we're good. Let's move on. Let's move on. We need to get some mods in the shadow. There's some crazy racism going on.

I saw some Moe, some of the time I was a Moe, KFC. I'm like, we're on YouTube. Why? What don't I even do? Let me not read out loud. Let me not encourage it. Okay, I say it. If you don't say it, I'll say it. I'm saying on something.

Someone said Isaac Giatierrez. That's hilarious. All right, let's move on the next matchup. A good one. Warriors versus Heat. Wyatt donated $5. He said, here's towards Mo getting out of the hood. Love the stream.

Thank you, Wyatt. Appreciate you. Going straight to the Moe Fund. We're getting them rat traps. It's going to be great. Oh, man. The day that happens, I ain't going to lie. I'm going to cry on either stream or the next pod or in that feature pod. The day you get up the hood? Yeah. It's been a long time coming, man.

I'm going to get with a big speech. It's going to be great. All right. Warriors versus Heat. I think this is one that definitely requires a poll. We got to let the people speak on this one. We're on the topic of Giaz, We got Miami Heat.

Kyle Lowry's finest. Said that backwards. Perfect. Do we go with the heat just for that? Just stay on brand? Oh, man. You're staying with the theme? Yeah.

Let's do it. We just said, and we just said the word like, or at least I said that I'm done picking against Miami. So I'm taking the heat. I'm done picking against Miami, and I'm also done picking the Warriors. I'm not going to have faith in them

until they prove to me I should. Connolly the heat. I don't know. of a mixture of two teams i don't believe terribly in but i'm scared to pick against because they have so much history where you going mom yeah i trust the history of the miami heat because that man is something serious he's legit something serious and he's going to play with the four year calls we're out of ucla he is serious so i might have to leave what do you what have you liked about him so far what have you seen in him uh he's his three level score and just seeing how

composed he is with this game and he like also feels fearless looks for us on the court going at everybody um three point shooting is there it's not spectacular but um this is weakest point for sure yeah exactly he's not a volume shooter at all but he's not like reading go bear from out there so he's a great player i love it i love put him to open in the corner he i think i heard can you talk about a style in his pod where like in the corners i think he was talking about hyme he can hit him if he's open but i guess close outs he's like horrible so you just make him leave him wide open he'll be useful yeah yeah he's never screamed as a shooter for me Miami he's just like the quintessential four-year college player comes in

immediately looks like a veteran which is like the cliche everybody uses but it's so true with him just because he's older and he's been played so much organized basketball at a high level he knows how to get to a spot to get buckets in unconventional ways he's a good floater can get into those little mid-range buckets and it has a little post game for his size just a fantastic role player you want to give punch to your bench what do you laugh now you see crazy what are they saying it's just a mixture of a whole lot of things right now. It's just to make sure of a whole lot.

I can't see. We need a nickname for Donham, let them fly. Yeah, they're hunting for nickname to me right now. Facts, it's fine one. I see some of rage. Relax, relax, relax. Oh my God, be worth saying Moe Lowry.

Yeah, so that's good. That's great. That's great. Someone spamming Thanasis is top ten and try to get our attention. Fuck you in the Nasus. We're talking about Donnie cheeks right now. keep it on topic listen let's fly through we need to fly through this through this

bracket no we don't we're on Johnny cheeks those I don't try to neglect this right now listen I'm trying to stay on topic I'm trying to stay on the content plan that we talked about we show okay we got 69% heat nice so we're gonna go with the heat the next round next up we have the Celtics versus the pelicans y'all have any chance of seeing the pelicans move on no I love what they got cooking man but again they're just simply out class

the Celtics have been have a manufactured system over the last few years even with the new head coach that just simply is built to kick ass Gatvin Gatvin you guys can work too hard

that one doesn't work quite as well you gotta get back in the lap Find a better one for Donovan. Yeah. All right, next one. Kings versus Thunder. This is a great matchup of young teams. I love this.

I would love to see this in the series. This is tough. Man. I pray this happens in real life. This would be awesome. We'd all win. This would be a fantastic game. Chet Hover would have to eat for them to have a chance, though, to be honest with you.

Yeah. Not a chance, but he'd be so pivotal. He'd be so pivotal. Yeah, a big part of that matchup would be Chet, versus Subonis, because, you know, elite defender at the center, elite offensive hub on the other team. Do we feel like for everything Chet does well? Is he equipped to stop Sabonis from what he does well with the high post game and low post scoring? I think he could be. Yeah, but it's easy to be like, oh, he's skinny, he'll get plowed down low, but like, I don't think Chet has a huge problem

with that. Obviously, there's some plays where you can get into his body and boom because he's small for his light he's light but i don't think it's in like a you know like a in a way that's like a hold a team defense back or anything yeah listen sabonis isn't he's not like shack he's not prime shack you know what i'm saying of course not but he's pretty he's pretty imposing no i know i know he's strong but chet also does a very good job listen chet's been skinny his entire life so he knows kind of like how to adjust his body he does a very good job even if somebody puts their shoulder in his chest he can still like with his wingspan and with his length he can still affect the shot. And so the fact that he's

that much taller than Sabonis, I think he'll be able to, like, maintain if they're doing that. So I think, I think O'KC wins. And I would take them in a series. I think no way, too.

You know, they're top five offense, top five defense right now, I think, which is crazy. Let me verify that. But I'm pretty sure they're currently still top five in offense and defense. And OKC, me make sure exactly where they're at in that because maybe they're higher than I think

but you know, historically they're not a particularly great defense. What do you like that? What did you just see Donovan? No, no, no, no. You can't rob us. You can't just say this guy to go to funny.

Just be a mute. Tell us. No, I saw somebody said Donovan glutes and I thought that's. That was kind of good. Now, Donovan caboose. Dottie caboose. They're working.

They're working. But you've been putting in numbers in the gym. We're going to get crazy. Let's go. All right, so OKC is currently the fifth best defense in the league. And the Kings are 13th in offense. Defensively, OKC is number five.

The Kings are 19. Granted, a lot of the King's offensive games have been without a deer at Fox. That's why they're low. But either way, the fifth best defense in the league for OKCE is legit. I don't think that's a fluke by any means. I think we should go O'KC for the two-way force they are. Let's go.

Let's do it. Yeah, Harrison Barnes also and Keegan Murray have been struggling. Keegan Murray's been nasty all year so far after having his head coach be like, oh, yeah, if we're going to hit that next step, next level, Keegan Murray is going to help carry us to that. That is not happening. I think you're asking Keegan Murray to stretch longer than actually what is a wing's man is or ceiling is as a player

and so I'm going to lead for okay C. Yeah, they definitely forced the Keegan's our next star narrative. Hasn't been the case. I don't think ever will be. Good player but I don't know if we're going to be starting star in his future. Go ahead and trade for Zach Levine. I need it. When it happens, I want to be doing

victory laps. So it's a mini van Moe. What does that mean? Sound like I'm a fucking unit. Long shlong dawn. Oh my God. Wow. No, no, no, no, no. please next one I'm uncomfortable I'm uncomfortable long long done damn next matchup

next match up this chat is on huge next up the 76 versus the bucks which I think is actually a very hard thing to decide because I know the chat apparently doesn't love the 76ers but I think they're legit extremely good how do y'all feel about this?

I do it well I do as well. I think the fact that Maxie is taking that leap puts them, it gives them something that they haven't had really this entire time was like a dynamic guard on the ball. In like, in terms of like as a scoring threat, like James wasn't that, James was never as good as Maxie is right here.

Ben Simmons wasn't as good offensively in terms of like scoring the basketball as Tyrese was. And it gives them a completely different dimension. And they have unlocked something with him and Joelle. Joel's passing is better this year. Way better. They're legit. They're legit.

Is it crazy if I take the 76ers? No, I think I'm taking the 76ers too at this point. Oh, my gosh. You're taking the 76ers? I think so, yeah. Yeah, I think the Bucks obviously had the ceiling of being the best team in the league. We're seeing Damien Lillow get better day by day. I think the coaching difference is massive.

I think Nick The most slept on story in the NBA this season is Nick Nurse should be coached of the year he has completely transforming the 76ers and in my mind

cured the biggest weaknesses as Joel and Beat has instead of just like Doc Rivers where they just threw it down to Joel and Beat let him cook

with no real structure they're putting Joel and beat in high dribble handoffs of Maxi getting Maxi going with a full head of steam being really smart

by using that to get to buy his Harris in the actions everybody else in that roster did anything melting being able to attack with the ball in his hands

from a point of advantage they do things really well to the point where I think it takes away from the downsize of Duel L&B's offense in the playoffs because you're constantly going to be manufacturing looks instead of forcing him to just just you know shove shit into a square peg in a round hole and trying to figure it out I trust 76 is fully this year and I never have in the past coach of the year belongs to Chris French young man sorry to alert you true good point but I'm thinking that and also big hard in the

playoffs that man still exists now I would say I agree I think The new style that's implemented for the 76ers Looks like it'll be more conducive to More positive playoff outcomes But then again, Joel NB is Joel NB at the end of the day And a lot of his game is predicated on foul shooting type shit, you know? Yeah Well, just miss the Tyree has tipped ten dollars Let's get more crayon eaters to rejoice on the road to 500K

Appreciate you Tyree Was I right 500K in like three months or so? It's gonna be great maybe four months Something like that. Hey, you worried about that 500k right now I'm worried about getting 500 likes on this stream I don't care who away I'm worried about yeah yeah 49 I'm looking at live so we drop one more like we're here 500 Mo's gonna do a thugshake he's gonna get up and shake for y'all 500 likes one more oh yeah 502 Mo you're on the iso cam hit it whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa I'm not ready yet I'm not I feel so violent, I'm exposed.

Don't do, don't isolate you like that. You isolate without goddamn consent. Please report on you. Asking me to do a shake and who might feel? Ew. That's hilarious. I'm cool going to 76 years. Let's see what the chat says.

Chat is currently at 68% bucks. I get it because the bucks do have that ceiling. And if they get to that point by the end of the season, I won't be shocked at all if we're looking up and we're saying they're the clear favorites but I feel like for right now

Yeah right now the 76ers are better I don't have any huge worries to them like I do with the Bucks perimeter defense I listen the Bucks right now I'm looking at it right now

they are 21st in defense this year We're going to 76ers sorry chat Next up we're in the round of 16 checking in this game Celtics are up by 6 right now I'm ready to watch this fourth quarter

This seems like a very funny game. It's going to be really good. Jason Tatum, sidestep three, clank off glass. Next up. On break. All right, we're going to keep it pushing. We're round to 16. We close this poll.

Next round, rematch the last year's conference finals. Lakers versus Nuggets. Does anybody see any hope for the Lakers pulling out of win this time around? Nope. Get him out of here. Get him out of here. He cannot do a damn thing against him. everybody's spamming the deep three inches that's good that's a good one that's my bad i can see y'all

sooner i see it i'm not afraid to say it that's funny i never thought of that fun good on y'all i applaud you i might have to go ahead and put in my trade waivers in right now i'm gonna go ahead and be like kai jones and just sweet i am requesting your trade of the deep three send me anywhere else but here it's just through the wire looking for a fifth man please free me again we're going nuggets we're not even going to act like this is a close one

they no reason to doubt the nuggets against the team they already spanked last year as much as it hurts me to say lebron james your run is over timbrewolds versus magic very similar teams this year except for the timbrewoles have a really high level scoring player in anthony edwards but you know two teams predicated on just size and great defense in a way it's surprised people do we think the magic have any chance of out shooting the Timberwolves

no no not even no yeah I think the magic had the run but it ends here yeah yeah I think Anthony Edwards is a big swing factor here and I think his scoring punch Isaac Gucci Airs That is a goodchier. That is crazy. I think Guccieras is ridiculous. What? They are going wild.

Wow. These are hilarious. This is the difference in the stream in the pod. We would never be talking about Isaac Gutierrez on the pod. Wow. We love to show. Okay. Tim Bullis move on.

Next matchup, the Heat versus the Celtics. Rematch the last year's conference finals again. Do we see this going differently and this time the Celtics come out? I think we do. I think the Celtics, if they don't go down 3-0, they're good. Like, I trust them. They don't fold immediately, they're fine. Exactly.

And if Tatum is bringing his ankle at the start of game seven, true this could go differently people I'm just laughing I'm imagining people unrelated to this matchup I agree it's a Celtics I think pretty clearly I'm just imagining people that have been watching us on the pot for a while 65 episodes in they go watch the stream for the first time this week you know it's only the second one a lot of people miss last week and they come in here expecting to see like analysis some funny games us doing our thing and they're greeted by Isaac Coutieres Long-strong

Long-slong Don You're specifically asking you the thug-shake man And I'm over again in fame Folks over here saying Damn, Mo has an eight-head Right, no, my shit big Yeah

What's what you're doing? You're not can't bust me everywhere, I'm tall, I'm sick Oh, we got into kill one So is it producer thick keel? We need that. We knew more to kill jokes. But I mean, Moe, are you going Celtics?

Yeah, I think I'm going to. Yeah, we're going to Celtics. Listen, it was closed last year. I went to seven. Like you said, the Celtics folded immediately and had a big hole to dig themselves out of. And now they're way better. Added two low-tier all-starish players,

but two legitimately great players. I don't know how you couldn't pick the Celtics knowing what we know right now. But then again, Pat Radley Black Magic. man yeah i don't know i'll go boston i'll go boston yeah this would be the you got to do it got to do it eventually all right next one thunder versus 76ers this is tough because i like the thunder but listen MVP joel he's scoring we we just talked about how you know how they basically changed everything that they do so i think i got to take

Philadelphia on this week I don't know I think this could be this could be an easy upset and I think I might mean okay C because well God joll and Bid is just so tough to deal with you can't you can you can only ask Chet to do so much what other violated thing do you see Isaac don's on the ISO cam don't I need your reaction to this someone said Donovan looks like Tammu Drake Tymu Drake that's crazy come on now Donovan has so many lookalikes. I guess. Now, I want you all to spam everybody Donovan looks like.

He's on the ISO camera now. Tell us who he looks like. Because every day in the chat, we get a new one. It's hilarious. Oh, man. Some of them don't even look alike. They're just also black with a beard. Yeah.

I could say Tristan Thompson. They'll see their correlation. Like, oh, yeah, oh, yeah. Got the chat. I got my screen pull up. This is the most common one. Mikhail Bridges pulling this other. This is the one everyone says he looks like the most.

The fan favorite Don lookalike. Other one that everyone says looks alike. This is my favorite one. OVO Chubs. OVO Chubs is the W. I did, listen. I did see that, and I saw a picture of Chubs, and I kind of had to do a double take.

And I was like, okay, I kind of see it. I kind of see it. Can you see my screen right now, Moe and Donovan? No, I cannot. Okay, let me share this to you guys. you can see it too that's hilarious we got OVO Chubbs this is the one

y'all see him right here next to Drake this is Donovan Smoot this is big slantnam one you know what you got through calm down he looks like nav no he doesn't no that's crazy

Nick Chubb I haven't heard that one before Nick Chubb Nick Chub somebody said out of order. See, that's the type of stuff that I'm saying. We're just saying black people now. We're not being treated. Hey, Nick Chubb isn't right, but it's not wrong. No, that's wrong. I do not look like that. That's not me.

Yeah, you will be like it. That's what you had no. But listen. McHale Bridges? McHale Bridges? I admit it. This is the one. Honestly, I don't see this one as much as I do Chubbs. but we get this one a lot if you like this comment okay this call this picture I see it it's your beard and like I guess the eyes a little bit no it's I guess the mouth I don't know I let's I have no idea what it is so back and forth yeah that's what's in Kevin Hart that's at that point no so it's Cendarius

Thornwell I don't know him that that's an old NBA player right He's that old. He's not old. He's not that old. He's going to drive me crazy if I don't know now. Oh, this is hilarious. This is hilarious. Are you serious?

What? I haven't pulled up. You don't see it. Yeah, Cedarius, Dorewell, he played for the pelicans. Oh, my God. Say your screen. Uh-oh, my bed.

All right, now. This doesn't look like me. It doesn't look like me. They're just thinking, every dude, but your skin tone and a beard. Oh, look at this picture. You're a skin-tone beard.

That's not me. That's not me. It's hilarious. That's not me. It's not me. Okay, let's go back to this. Back to the subject matter at hand. Are we going thunder or 76ers?

I'm going 76ers. I want to go thunder. I'm going thunder too. Let's get Big Harden out of here. Woo! We're at the final four, y'all. We got five minutes left to the fourth quarter until the watchalong starts.

It's time to get to the midi-gritty. Nuggets versus Timberwolves. Everybody says that Timberwolves are uniquely equipped to guard Nikola Yokic. We saw it a sneak peek of it last year. They didn't have McDaniels. They didn't have Nasreid, the goat. Do we think they have a chance in the series this year?

They have a chance. They will not win. Nobody is equipped to guard Nicole Yokic because he's unguarded so I'm taking anyone is it is them though I mean sure like and he'll just score 32 points instead of 38 points yeah he's the most equipped that doesn't necessarily mean he's well they're well equipped yeah that's true I think in the beginning of the season before injuries really took over for the nuggets we saw their defense be like really fucking lockdown for like the first three or four games to a point where I

feel like they can probably rekindle that in the playoff series and if that's going to be the case and it's like two elite defenses going at each other and listen we're saying they're well equipped to stop the tumbled was a well equipped to stop the nuggets i think the nuggets are also well equipped to stop the timber wolves i think they have people that can throw at anthony edwards kCP is undersized for that matchup but he can do some things attacking moving around screens aaron gordon's a great defender they have a big body and yokech at the rim i think they're also equipped as up the tumblew's offense so at that point who do you want to trust and I feel like I've got to lean towards the MVP,

Nicole Iokic. I'm definitely leaning towards the best player on the court for sure and the more well-rounded team. But I'm going to think that this series is going to go to six. Are we all going to Nuggets, though? Yeah.

I love on the chat, can't even focus anymore. All they can talk about is who we look like. Yeah, someone who's like I look like Little Bill. That's crazy. The other times in my life I've been talking about. little bill little bill shut up that's hilarious

all right next one celtics versus thunder in the final four do we have any hope that the thunder can up end the Celtics no don't let the Celtics get to you keep in mind they're still the Celtics they still have Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum as their top two guys Drew Holiday is not the most consistent playoff score I'll tell you that KP is KP they still the potential to be the old Celtics we know love in the worst way possible in the worst way possible that was a hilarious setup yeah now even if that does end up being the case

i think their defense they're going to give shay hell bro he has so many bodies of yes there nobody gives shay hell i'm sorry Thompson did was going to give shay hell yeah he did give them sorry thompson is walking through those doors yeah that is true he's not i just had to say it Yeah, no. I'm definitely taking, I'm definitely taking the Celtics. I think this is one of the few teams in the league that just simply has more firepower and the more season, of course, because they've been doing this shit for longer. Let's take the Celtics. OKC is good.

I know they're good. Yeah, you're right. I mean, I'm going to lean the Celtics too, but I don't have to think about it. I think OK season has surprised a lot of people in the playoffs this year. I don't know. We can go Celtics, but I think it's probably harder than most. most people would give them credit for yeah i think oh he's going to surprise what someone said donald looks like anthony macky that's another one we've heard before who's that no okay listen that one's actually

i actually do take offense to that like let's not let's not why is he ugly or something or what no i just i don't like anthony macky i'm not a fan of his you sound like do wait does he play football is no he's the actor he's falcon from mccu uh no that's not who he is he's too pop oh two yeah i'm too bog is it so funny all right so i have this pulled up now we're going to dissect the the the how much donovan looks like anthony macky mo i'm about to share my screen with you so you can have a part of this chat let's go feature by feature and decide this is accurate or not how are you all feeling no no let's go ahead and dissect this

I see it in the way that I see Nick Chubb where it's like not right it's not true but it's also not entirely wrong he's black that's the reason why it's right it doesn't look like it doesn't look like if I see exercise is racist and he like oh man oh my god everybody says like LeBron yeah it's so funny because everybody said you have a million lookalikes and it all boils down to that you just have a generic face i would say like at least 40% of their lookalikes just boils down to that and that just tells me some of the chat you might have to touch grass you're not ducking these allegations go outside william tip three dollars best podcast out there thank you for making every week great appreciate you

william thank you for tuning in and watching every week and now we need to get back to anthony macky Is there anything else we need to talk about here? No. There's not anything to talk about. If he had a beard, maybe I'll see you more, but of course, again, black man beard. I don't want to be lumped into that whole thing. I can move on.

We're now in the grand finals. As expected, Nuggets v. Celtics. Pretty easily the favorites in both conferences, I think. Where do y'all stand on these? Nuggets. uh man stuff i think i might lean the i'm probably going to lean the nuggets they've shown me literally no reason they give me no reason to not believe in them if like the only thing that's stopped them so far this season with the health of jama marie now he's back that's the only thing

that will stop them in the future of my mind but in this case i mean they're all healthy yeah give me the never nuggets especially if they get their defense back together too yeah it all comes down to Jamal Murray, right? Like, he's been injured and they haven't been full strength. He's the dissatting factor. Like, he makes so much of a difference for them. Yeah, exactly. Like, this 305 is going pound to pound.

Neither of these teams are necessarily deep whatsoever. They do have, the Denver Degas do have Peyton v. Fucking who Sam Howells are coming off the bench with the bench. So the bench is a watch. Hey, Samhous is kind of nice. I kind of like Samhousy. Hey, Payne Watson is nicer, too. What do you mean?

True, true, true. No, he's good. He's good. No, I would agree. The Nuggets definitely have the deaf argument. It's just how much do you believe in playoff Porzingis making a big difference, stretching out these teams and making them play five out and defend the Celtics in space? They couldn't really, a lot of teams, you know, they talk about like you've got to attack Yokic, put him in a pick and roll. Most of the time it's bullshit because he's a big body.

Can defend the rim better than you think. But if you stretch him out with a stretch five like Porzingis, who has legitimate reign, You take him out of the equation, being at the rim. That's Yokic's best defensive strength is being able to affect shots with his size. He does legitimately have some slow feet. He's a big guy. I think that could probably give him trouble if KP's healthy. Does that affect y'all's thinking at all?

Well, I mean, my thinking to start, though, was Boston. Oh. Oh. Yeah, I'm the only one. I'm the only one because the chat is saying Denver. You guys are saying Denver. Guys, I'm all in on Boston this year. I think that they're top six is the best in the league.

I think that although they might still have some of the playmaking issues down the stretch in games, I think that they have enough to overcome that now with poor Zingis being able to, you know, like you said, add another element to their game while also fitting into the scheme that that Missoula wants to do, which is very three-point heavy. And so I like them. And with the perimeter defense of White and Holiday, I think they get it done. Too bad so sad. The chat is going 59% Denver Nuggets.

No, I know. I know. I know. I said to say my piece. No, I get it. They're going to be great. I, again, it just comes down to who do you trust more when it all comes down to it. And how could I not pick the reigning finals MVP, you know?

Exactly. But there is some legitimate matchups stuff that is interesting. Like, they have Drew Holiday. and Derek White to throw at Jamal Murray. Those are two guards who are really good to fighting over screens

and fighting through dribble handoffs, which is the core of what the Nuggets do with that two-man game. Those are two players that are uniquely equipped to handle that. Especially Drew Holiday.

Probably you don't want him on Yokic, but if he has to get switched onto him, that's the guard you want on him the most, you know, one of the better

post-defending guards in the league. They're not a terrible matchup for Denver. I'll say that. But either way, everyone with the Nuggets, sorry, Donovan, too bad so said. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. The Nuggets are your champions with the TD3 30 team NBA brackets. Is anybody surprised by this?

Nope. They are running the league. The league runs to them. KG, tip $3. Appreciate you, KG. See your comment. I'm not going to get you to let me say it out loud. How about that?

That's hilarious. Someone's spamming Stephen A. Smith. I don't know why. Is that saying that's a dog? You know why. Someone said that I looked like someone named Big X the plug. Now, who before? That's wrong, but it's funny when it's another person. Oh, that's you? I'm in shape. All right, all right, calm down. This doesn't look like me. Not even in the slightest. different facial features he has longer hair

not even close that's great okay next thing this is the bracket let me see it the nuggets won as expected next thing we're going to do

is we're going to watch along the fourth quarter of this game but at the same time we're going to do a Q&A I posted on Twitter told you guys to drop some questions and we're going to answer them on stream

and that's what we're going to do for the remainder of the not remainder but for the next chunk while this game is finishing up but first I got to use the restroom I'm going to go back to this angle you guys entertain chat answer their questions for a second all right

go ahead and do it chat I want to see some live questions that we can go ahead and react to one question that I saw someone said can you throw in some skims with the PS5 giveaway listen listen that's not a bad idea

right we could do that we can send over some skims with the PS5 we're going to have to discuss internally before we come to a conclusion But I don't hate that Yeah, but before that even gets entertained You watch it right now Gotta go ahead and follow us on Twitter

We have like 5.5K If every single one of y'all follow us on Twitter We'll have 6K And we're four more K to our 10K goal And once you're 10KK, y'all get a PS5 For the free. Exactly Who doesn't want a free PS5?

Yeah Come on now Exactly Someone said Isaac looks like Lord Farquard that's what someone said that before it's hilariously accurate

no listen hey Indiana is Loki doing it go fuck yourself I heard it that's hilarious oh man now she's getting racist

Donovan is I'm okay all right Martin Luther King's crazy Man, man, we're going to direct our attention to this game. Listen, everybody, turn your attention to the game. Indiana's kind of running it up right now. 10 point lead. Yeah.

As you watch that, I answer these questions. Why did Donnie drop Bobby Portis in fantasy? Donovan, do you care to defend this pick? Yeah, listen, Bobby Portis is one of my favorite players in the league. I've been a Bobby Portis fan for a long time. and I like having him I like having him on my team so vibes

so yeah so many of the chats did you kind of look like Bobby Portis okay now that is disgusting to say that is disgusting to say okay gross

next one Duffalo says who has the best chance to be an all-time great let's qualify all-time great its top 20 player in the NBA history Booker

Shee aunt or Luca Lupid, that's not enough. He's done way more things in his career that's like top 20 all the time. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he has so many performances already. It's ridiculous. Jalen Brown just muscled Benedict Mathem to the room. Ah, man.

That spacing is so crazy. They have all the space in the world under the room when they have cornet at center instead of KP2. It's literally, it's literally any point guard's dream. It's ridiculous. Someone's out of like Jaime Hawkes Jr. That's just straight up racist. Yeah, not even close. I've been trying to tell y'all.

You didn't want to listen. Okay, but let's take out Luca from this question, just Shea, and Booker. Out of those three, who has the chance to make it run to, like, top 20 all time? Man. I think if it's that, it's between Shea and aunt. And I think...

Shea and Ann. You think that Aunt over Booker? Why is that? He has more time in his career, and I think, yeah, he has more time in his career to do, like, those insane things, you know. I don't think a lot of, and when it comes to, yeah, I think he has more time in his career, and he just seems more of, like, I don't want to say a highlighting player, but he has, I don't know, I'm just going to lean towards, I'm going to lean towards those who more than Booker, for some reason. Just vibes. They're cooler. Not even vibes, not even vibes.

I think I'm going in. And the reason why it is Ant has everything that you need to become like top five player in the world, do all that types of stuff. And his ability, if like if he wants to lock in defensively, he can, he can do that. I was like, I don't ever expect him to be like all defense or anything like that. But he has the tools to do it. And so in terms of like complete player, I think. he is further along in his path than the other two and being able to affect the game on both ends so i'm going to answer okay i see the projection i feel like booker's already like on the path

there's like being a superstar so i feel like i would lean him but i get it can't be mad at that what player were you convinced was going to be great but turned out horrible and vice versa what's a player you thought was overrated but actually turned out amazing so donovan or isa like why do you think scotty barn was going to be great but ended up horrible i've always liked scotty barnes when y'all do this is a y'all thing oh man you're you yeah no i was i've always you guys have been the ones that calling him fucking tyrieg evans i've never been as much of a hater as y'all were take that you guys turn it into dahnman i just said i was just saying i was just saying what i saw he had a very

good rookie season and then he did it and it looked like hey are we in trouble here do we over read that's all I was saying he bounced back but to answer the question I was convinced that Jared Culver was going to be him a two-way superstar ball handler with the ball in his hands

great playmaker that man did nothing in his NBA career I can't even think of a defining part of his game because he had such a little impact in the league that I can't even really remember him being trash because he was just never on the court it's crazy yes

I thought Cam Redis Jared Culver I stayed 10 toes on that go back to my 2019 draft videos it's so embarrassing I was so hard on the Jerk Coburn train so it's that but to not double div I'm going to go ahead and say someone in that same

drive class Cambrides I didn't say he was going to be the next Paul George but I was like yo he's in that same vein and he's exactly what the Atlanta Hawks needed and he has been the complete opposite of that he's not really yeah no

I thought I thought Jabari Parker was going to change the league. Like I was all in on Jabari Parker and then he just did it. Like injuries and everything, stuff like that happened. It was not changed. It wasn't. It stayed very much the same. The league was unaltered.

The bar was my guy. Yeah. Speaking of Jabari Parker, I really thought Thun Maker was going to change lives over there in Milwaukee alongside Janus. Oh, those Mike Corzamba videos got you? Bro, Mike swindled my ass, man. I was manipulated to hell. So, I'll make her going to be the one. But it is what it is.

Someone said, Dame is slightly overrated and shouldn't be a top 75 player. Disagree, Dave's great. He's fine. Maybe he can have an argument that he shouldn't be top 75. Okay, whatever, but he's still an all-time agree in my mind. Who are y'all's most hated teams other than the Clippers? Who do y'all slander? Who do I hate?

Okay, so a team that I actively avoid to watch, and I probably like, I just really never been a huge fan of, is the Wizards. But at the same time, really, to be honest with you, it might be the Raptors. I do 100%. That's because of the fans. That's because of their fans. Yeah, you hate the Raptors so much. Yeah. Bro, Miles Turner to try to take Jason Tanim in the post

and attack him from the top of the key, push him down to the post one-on-one. And he looked like a deer, like just fucking throwing his legs around, just doing nothing. It was embarrassing. Luke Cornett blocked his shit. It's embarrassing.

Brack. Right. Let's see. Outside of the clippers, I don't like the Lakers. A lot of it is like... Oh, my bad, not bad. Someone said Donovan looks like a Getty stock image.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha that's crazy that's so funny what man go on with your lakers hate no and a lot of it is their fans and then the other part of it is jealousy just because like as a nix fan everybody's like oh you want to play in new york and like stars want to play and then we just like never got the stars and it seems like the lakers could be trashed for 10 years

and everyone's still like oh i want to go to I want to go be a laker I want to go do this and I'm like y'all should want to come to the other side like please It's like, come be a Nick. It would be so fun, but nobody ever wants to. It's not popping like that. It's fine. It would be so fun.

What would be fun about coming to New York and being in Nick? Everybody said, no, but that's what gets me mad. Listen, that's what gets me mad. Exactly. That's what gets me mad is that everybody says, I love playing in Madison Square Garden. It's my favorite arena. Their fans are so great.

They always have so much respect for the game. It's awesome. Come play here 41 times a year. Come do it. right if you really like it that much right there's spots we'll gladly take you and nobody wants to do it and it's frustrated someone's like jack harlowe oh my god oh that's outrageous i also saw someone see you look like white jesus let's hilarious that's funny all right i have two questions for you what is your favorite player

that was never at the all-star level let's go with that one that one that one question who is y'all's favorite non-all-star mo you go first uh it's going to take me a little second to think about this but over the last few years someone who's been like my favorite non-all-star i'll say something like gerald green hell exciting to watch you always say his name probably let's address this he said on the pod a couple months ago you said gerald green he played with him on 2k hell yes of course i favorite him in two k every every single time he is the pre-agent market swiping that man up for the low 2.5 million get on my team chat who's your favorite player chat tell us your favorite players who are never all-stars who are y'all

favorite role players is it gerald green anybody named gerald is that a thing you've been counted in real life yeah i actually have i mean is that how you say his name i thought no it's gerald that's what i met someone named gerald before in fucking elementary school so it's like that sounds like a that's what i ran with that's what i ran with also derrick favors I love his game a lot, too. O'Dar Ferdar is a nice. Caruso is a good pick.

Someone just said that in the chat. Love Caruso. Lonzo Ball is obviously a good pick. Never quite made it to the Lusel level before his legs fell apart. Yeah. Alonzo Trere. What a cut. Oh, Jamal Murray.

Wow. Wow. Wow. So, Marry is a good pick. But Jamal Murray is a good pick because that man's clearly fucking all-star level. He just never got picked. Yeah. Yeah.

T-H-T-R picked Danny Green. Danny Green is also my pick. I've gotten in flame before for saying I'm a big Danny Green. fan as a role player you should who the hell says that publicly exactly listen I'm not over here buying his fucking jersey I'm not over watching Danny Green highlights

but he's a great role player he has a lot to winning what do you offer me I love having him with my team it led to a championship I love him on chump I love them on chumper I'm on chumper nice ER 15 good pick

there's just a lot of Lakers in the chat Omar Oshik He was a solid dude Disgusting That's a hilarious That's actually nice dude Yeah Nine minutes left his game

Indiana's up four Donovan did you bet on this game I did I did bet on it Who'd you pick? I picked Indiana You picked against your beloved Celtics Yes

Tell us what I thought in a one game scenario At home Without Porzingis I thought that the Pacers were going to be able to to push the pace a little bit and um they i figured it was going to get into a shootout and i right now i trust them in shootouts a little bit more and i just didn't trust the you trust the

page is more than the celtics in a shootout right now against anybody in the league that's not listen listen they put a 150 like every two nights oh no they're great yeah also prisingis in there which is a big difference yeah also said kai jones is his favorite non all-star love that good pick Texas is finest Don got the jersey on representing no it is

we're in the playoffs they did the right thing you did it FSU to suck FSU really sucks to suck next question Ian Barnes says who is the best

two K player out of you three me is not close yeah right I whipped this man ass when I was in LA yesterday well okay so it's so weird I would say

When it goes to Blacktop, I am, but when it comes to probably, like, online, you know, it is embarrassing how bad I am when it comes to playing in a rec league or whatever the hell it is, like, I'm the worst ever. I can't do shit. The worst player is manageable. Like, I am PJ Tucker of 2K, bro. It's ridiculous. And it's rebounds.

I can't shoot. I got, I got, like, gum-stucked to the bottom of my feet. Like, I play defenses if I play in defense and football. the worst yeah I play 2k pretty seriously at this point of 2k I play for like the first month of the year and then I fall off because 2K's washed but I've been played a pretty like wrecked in my career pretty seriously for a while so when I play I'm like the point guard and I'm a cheeser I do shit like normally taking mode of the wreck is hilarious it's like taking your little brother but it's accurate he has he made a 6-6 shooting guard that can do a little

everything with the ball in his hands he's yeah but he's that you play shooting guard you're the two i'm usually the one i'm six four he has like an 83 three-pointer he has a solid driving status it's a mid-range this man insists on sitting in the dunker spot and taking standing layups every single time he touches the ball i act like i'm erin gordon or bruce brown bro it's sad it's sad i think it's all it just feels completely different and i've never grown up to be an online player like i'm i'm a my leaguer to the core to the heart and i play my career. Online is not my way. Never will be, never has me. Alex G. says, what do y'all think of the ceiling of teams like OKC

in Minnesota? We talk about them a little bit in the bracket. Do you, okay, so they can both make the conference finals, right? Yes. Mo? Yes. Yeah, for sure. Can they make the finals? No. If either those teams... Minnesota can. Minnesota can. I'll lead that way. I would lean that way for sure. That means you think there's a non-zero chance

that can beat the Nuggets, Sons, all those teams? Yeah. Non-zero, yes. There's a non-zero chance. Yeah, there's a world in that because Rudy Gaubert is having an insane year, one of the best defensive years of his career. And so, man, he's moving a lot.

He's moving a lot. Yeah, I think they can both make the conference finals as their seat. The ceiling is definitely conference finals. Minnesota has a When you say ceiling Do you think that That means like

There's at least a tiny chance Because I don't think It's super likely That Minnesota makes the finals In the sense that like I'm not going to predict that Or think it's like a super realistic outcome But it's possible

So it's a 5% chance To make the finals Yeah If everything goes right for them There is a possibility That they can make the finals Okay someone said who's the best baller of y'all three in real life not me i'll tell you that not me don

don't see not you so what's your okay before before all that isaac show us what your jump shot form looks like you don't just stand back there just shoot i can't do without a ball my hand i always think what this hit us with one of these and that'll tell us everything just do it so what's your form anyways donovan are you confident oh my god oh my god you can't show us your form So I pull it out Or what? I haven't touched

basketball in like two years. Since I graduated college, I don't think I've actually played basketball since then. Yeah, that's fair.

Donovan, are you confident you can beat Mo despite the size difference? I have beaten Mo. I've done it. Tell the people about it.

We played three games when we were in L.A. And Mo got the first one and then I got the next two. My three-point shot, I used to be like four years ago when I was playing like a lot every day. My three-point shot used to be very good. It has that has gone away.

I work primarily in the mid-range right now. But I can't, but I can't beat Mo. It's tough. Most strong is like, listen, those times I just put my head down and try to go to the room, straight brick wall. Like I had to figure out another way. Yeah, well, what are the vitals? Tell people, tell people the physicals. The physicals, what do you mean by that?

Combine stats. Come on six foot, whatever, I got a six foot four, five wingspan. In basketball, shoes, I'm a legit six two. I can jump. But one thing that I can say during those games, even the first game, as soon as I tested ball, Gator, Gatorade, side straight blinking. All right, the entire game. So first game, I won whatever cool.

Second game, I get up to a hot start, if you remember, Donovan. And then I just like, I just start. settling third game i got off to a good start too and then i just start settling i'm just like i'm done so i got like no stamina whatsoever or i had no stamina now we do though oh now you got stamina back yeah i'm back i'm back and i took that loss personally donovan let's see what you talk about now i'll say don't this player what would you say your player comparison is player comparison is donovan i have no idea at the time you said jimmy butler two brother's good

but like I don't know I think just because of like my size and my three point shooting inability right now I'm probably like

Pat Bev with the with a little mini Matt Batman with the ugly brand of basketball I don't I don't think I play pretty basketball

I think I'd just like try very hard I run around a lot so that's that's where I think I'm at Yeah Someone said, Isaac, are you balding?

Do I like I'm balding? The longest hair I've ever had in my life? Yeah, man. What's the hair? What products do you use, Isaac? I forget the brand. T. True leaving conditioner? Oh, no, free promo.

That's funny. Who wins the in-season tournament? So we're watching it right now, we're acting the first game. Who are y'all? Who's your prediction for who's winning it all? The New York Knicks will win a championship this year. An in-season tournament championship?

We're winning it. And because the Knicks win it, it will then have legitimacy, and I will appreciate it. So, yeah. Yon. Mo, who you got winning? Oh, man. I said this last year when it was first introduced. I was like, yo, this tournament is for a team like the Orlando Magic, and I might either stick to them or the Indiana Pacers.

Like, this is so good. I think teams like the Orlando Magic and the Indiana Pacers are going to give their fucking all. this is like a good middle of the pack team test or whatever because the Pacers they're up by three right now with six and a half minutes left over the Celtics

if they can get the Celtics out of here and what they play like the Knicks next round that's not a hard path to get to the finals yeah I agree compared to please if you're in the West

you have a harder path right now than when the teams in the East yeah so I'm gonna lean Pacers I'm gonna lean Pacers Tyre's Halliburn's on a fucking tear right now he's so good we haven't seen basketball like

like this in I don't want to say too long because we win a step Currie's some unbelievable shit but no one expected Tyrese to be like this this year chat spam who you think's gonna win I want to know who y'all think

who's your pick someone said I want the Paciers to win there's a lot of Pacer's fans in the chat today you guys are really fucking with Tyreys Halliburton some said it's time for Crown you're here to rejoice

it's always time for crown to you should rejoice thanks next question where were you going is there anything Curry could do to become the goat win a bunch of championships and be good until he's like 45 or something like Curry would need crazy longevity and just keep winning chips which is looking more and more unlikely by the day

yeah how many rings do he does he have three right now right four four rings yeah he would have to win like three more rings yeah he has to have seven rings in order for him to be like you know what I'm saying that'd be crazy if Curry got the seven rings That would be the most insane He just rattled off a three Pete at 36 That'd be nuts

That'd be insane Yeah, he would have to be to go Facts Him and Moses Moody going nuts What star player Plays the worst brand of basketball I hate these questions People are just asking

Because he has a fucking Yokic profile pick He wants to say Dwell and Bede Everybody wants to say on Joel and B's brand to basketball That is so fierce Is he purely agenda pushing? I do not hate watching Dwell and Bede. People are such crybabies about the Frito things. I don't know where y'all stand on this.

I get it. It's boring, but people act like he's committing a felony and like he's just trash. And it's such crybaby bullshit. Donovan, I feel like you're probably on the other side. I mean, like, I can see both ways. I don't like, like I don't think

M.B. should go to jail or anything. But it is a very annoying brand of basketball. I think whenever you see stars, even, because there's a lot. of stars that get to the line a lot and they're not free throw hunting and there's a lot of times where you feel like Embed is hunting for the foul and that's something different than just drawing the foul and at that point that's when you start being like are you too big to be doing this like just play for real and let's just see what happens but you can actually be like searching for it

yeah now me personally i don't genuinely hate it at all because i think well i mean it's of course annoying sometimes you look embarrassing or whatever and although i'm not one of those people who or like, you should be in jail. Sometimes I'm like, bro, you should at least get probation because this is ridiculous. You have no way to do this. But for the fact,

I think someone who has like an annoying brand of ball to watch, I would say is like maybe Jalen Green. But he's not a star player at all. But he did have those star player expectations. And seeing someone who doesn't rebound well, not a playmaker, and he just plays LA Fitness brand of basketball, It's just like

It's just the worst thing ever to see It's the worst thing This is hilarious What is happening to the Golden State Warriors Listen we talk about them at length On the last episode of the podcast They are old Have no players besides Steph Curry

That can get to the rim They have a washed up shooting guard That thinks he's still in his prime Dramon Green can't stop punching motherfuckers Steve Kerr loves Dremont Green And Curry I mean in a play enough That he's not gonna bench him He's not going to let his young guys that actually has some juice be empowered

It's hard to win games You're not particularly good defensively You don't get out in transition You don't get to the rim You're just kind of reliant on jump shots They're kind of they are right now What people said they were in 2015 when they were first coming on the scene And people were like, you can't win with a jump shooting team

That was bullshit because they were great at everything They're kind of becoming that part That the haters always said they were Yeah man, listen runs over damn right now in this game four minutes left wow

it's getting close isn't the Celtics are making a push you're going to have to keep me updated because I am a minute and a half behind you refresh your stream like this is this is a good game my thought all this trend's man don't even what the hell's going on I can't

all right next one any ideas I'm making this season of let's see on the score where people are seeing on stream right now it's a 419 my game's at 430 okay cool let me see if I can find some of those the Celtics hit the lead they're up by one no this is this is a close game the Celtics might knock the patients out everyone's loving the patients are trying to get a run in the tourney something's might ruin their night shame and Brown is

hooping facts so this is any ideas on making the in-season tournament better chat what do y'all think I want to hear y'all with this what do y'all think the in season tournament needs them be better don't know you got some ideas it's Donovan ISO time. I've been thinking about this a lot. I think that one, a couple more games need to be added. I think for the group stage showing it before games, it feels a little short and also like we're already in December and Christmas is around the corner, but I do want to

see this go maybe a little bit longer just because it just like the season starts and then boom, we have tournament game. So I think we can change that. And the stakes, I think, can be all. just a little bit in terms of like what the reward is I think the team that wins should have some type of prize in terms of like they're standing for the actual playoffs if all of this is building towards the NBA finals and the NBA playoffs so there's a couple things also no more red courts it hurts my eyes it's very very hard to watch so red courts are terrible I think all

that's fair look I think there's enough games right now for my liking but more group play games it didn't hurt I think that is a w take hit it yeah exactly I agree with that cool I hear it that there's a four minutes left paces up by two I hope I don't you all want to wait do you want to see the Celtics advance to be honest I yeah it's all about excitement and all right now I think the Indiana Pacers I don't say other are the more more exciting team but it'll be a more exciting headline to see them go out and do their thing and Halliburn has a triple double God, man, you know what

When I was thinking about Tyrese Halliburton Whenever I think about Tyre Did they just like out of the stream I might not I see you know My bad, I actually kicked you all that stupid for a second The chat must have been like, what's going on? I don't know what just happened.

That's hilarious. Yeah, keep going on. I was going on a mini rant about Tyrese Halliburton and his greatness and I'm like, yeah, like, when I think about Tyrese Halliburton, I think that he is the version of Lonzo ball that everyone expected to be minus the defense of course no one ever expected Lonzo to be a defender but the top of shooter that he was the facilitator that he is and how fast he plays

of course the high two and help that he's light skin too that is like that was supposed to be peak Lonzo you know but that would be just lamello I never thought about him as like what Lonzo should have been that's a good point though because Lonzo always had unorthodox jump shot which was always going to be a thing but people you know in college it went in that's tyrese halliburton it continued to go in the finals i mean in the NBA Tyrese Halliburton is top five passer in the league we thought Lonzo would be too Tyrese Albert can get to the rim and use that passing even though it's not as big as strength Lonzo can't the only difference is Lonzo was an elite defender and Tyrese

halliburton will never be that well but in college though long no one was ever raised like braving about Lonzo's defense particularly that just happened to be some of that stuck in the NBA because he needed a way to be productive and the amount of court. Yeah, you're right. I think that holds to be true. True. True.

All right, next question. Where are we going? If you put DeAndre Aden in the 1950s, would he be known as a top 50 player ever? No. That's so disrespectful. So many teams. Back then, hell no.

Hell no. You don't think Aiden could dominate the 50s? No, I don't think so. I don't think. I don't think he has it in him to dominate the 50s he wouldn't get it doesn't have it chat what 60K bag or whatever they're paying B players and he would be out like doing the wildest things

chat how much would DeAndre how many points per game would DeAndre 8 average in 1954 talking about that chat ooh they just ran a nice jaylon brown derrick white pick and roll to tie the game at 101 saw that that's my favorite thing to something to do they run a lot of small small pick and rolls which they had the luxury doing when they're center

can space out to the three point line that's really hard to defend whenever you have like benedick matherin and buddy okay okay buddy i know taking taking Derek white to the room i did not buddy hill does not have that much in his bag in that way but when he does do it when he finally when he pulls stuff up with such a three point shot like that and gets to the rim you get convinced that like this guy is a guy every contender needs on their team yeah oh oh is that a flagrant no they're going to review that for a flagrant well this is a closed game Bro, it's about me two-minute drill with, listen, a single-digit game, this is great. Chat, if you're not watching this game, you've got to lock in and watch this with a chat.

Pull up this game and react. Oh, people are spamming with DeAndrean would average still. People are saying 40, 45. He's never doing that. Right now, the average is like 10 on the Portland train lasers. He might average a cool 15. Okay, that should not be a flagrant. They might review it because his armor was around his neck.

Okay, never mind. They're not doing that. Do you think of the Warriors made a move? for cat or another stretch five they could make a push for the playoffs well they're going to make the playoffs regardless still i think but could they be a contender with a stretch five let's take out cat because they're not going to trade cat but if they went out and got a stretch five do you think that would change the warriors it depends who the stretch five is true but but but they need yeah but they need i'm going to say yes i think that they need a switch from whatever that they're

doing right now and a little bit more life a little bit more variance in their offense would be very helpful and if you can give step more space to drive we get into more space to drive it'll be it'll be very helpful yeah yeah no like i'm just thinking random player who's like i don't think you'll ever be traded but let's say if some like wendal carter junior or whatever was to be traded to the warriors eh i think they're done for it to be honest with you window carter and the warriors would be sick he can pass a little bit out of the high post yeah he can be a little bit of a hub in their system i can see him executing those triple handoffs and listen they're winning games without him right now. Goga and Mo or Mo Wagner are cooking.

The magic C windows expendable? They don't only see him expendable. I hate that, bro. I hate that my stream is behind, bro. I just got to the parts of where when Jim Brown blocked whoever that was. Oh, my goodness. Someone said, watch, like, Warriors. Would you want to see Nicola Vucevich?

That could work, but, I mean, the defense is already terrible, and Vooch would be. Oh, Tyres Hallibur gets the line 105, 105. a minute 42 left listen we're here the funny point is this fucking scoreboard that chat sees on screwing out is ahead of where the TNT stream is

that is hilarious so I see the score and I just know what's about that happened I'm not I'm not looking at the at the score I'm locked in on on my street trying to be surprised no this is going to be great

I love seeing Bruce Brown thrive on another team whatever he got paid I saw a path to him being look quote oh oh my god Tyrese Halliborne in a crazy three did he damn man I can't enjoy this damn game listen in five minutes you're gonna go crazy what a shot bro 133 left Tyrese Halliburne with the and one three oh my wow I got to see how this bitch unfold why am I so late this man is nice oh my

God disgusting okay we're cutting off the Q&A and we're cutting straight to the to the feed yeah to the feed let's go straight to the play by play oh my god that's what you guys are talking about yeah yeah yeah he's always reacting literally two minutes later this is great yeah the game catch you'll see on screen right now is ahead of us but we're watching listen And Tatum tries a three. God, see, they have so much spacing and Tatum is still pulling threes at the game on the line.

Like, you got to, that's the biggest downside of the Celtics. Yeah, like, the Celtics are so three-point happy. And when it goes in, it makes them unstoppable. But you got to get to the room in clutch positions and like, oh, Tyree should the turnover. Lucky, lucky. It hit the line. Oh, okay. This game is a little classic.

I ain't going to lie to you. Yeah, no, yeah. Who don't think I win this game, Chad? Who do you don't want to see win this game? It's looking like Indiana has been pulled out. Do you all want to see Indiana advance? Yes, let's see it. Someone said Tatum is top five.

Listen, he's not showing it tonight. And if we're being real, oh, buddy. Oh, that's the dagger, buddy healed. 54 seconds left, goes up by seven. Okay, y'all know the meme. Okay, y'all know the meme where, like, when the Tim Wolves won the playing game and they, like, jump on the stanchet and everything, I need that. tonight.

It's one of my favorite NBA videos. They are running away with this. Oh, one for, dude, they are, oh, they are flooding the Celtics in the last minute. Are you serious, bro? God, damn it. I'm sick to my stomach. All y'all in the chat earlier who were going hard for the Pacers.

Y'all were walking with Tyrese. You wanted them to win this bracket we did. Wow, wow. You are validated, vindicated. W take for y'all. Facts. Wow. Spam it up.

We have the Celtics in the final of our bracket. I want you all to spam. Question, where do y'all rank Tyrese Hallibur right now? I want you to spam where he's ranked. Is he top 10? I don't know about that. Is he top 20? He's definitely top 30.

Definitely top 25. Are we giving him top 20 already? He has to be top 20. He has to be top 20 this season. There's no way in hell you can name me. You can't put his name in there. He fits on that. Oh, my goodness, bro.

This game is so over. You're saying Tyrese for MVP. Wow. Listen, they're giving out a tournament MVP. Tyrese has been going stupid for every tournament game. He can't have a case. Right now he has 26 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds. Someone spamming six, the top six player, top 12 player.

You know who hasn't been going in the tournament? Who? Tatum is 30 points right now, 12 or 25 from the field, 12 rebounds, 6 assists. Coming into the game, he was averaging 20 in tournament games, he was averaging 21 points. He was showing like 20% or something like that from three. and now he's out here Drew Holiday's three for nine from the field standard playoff Drew Holiday

we're calling this a playoff game kind of is low key I mean it's different it's not the playoffs but it's no similar environments yeah this is for sure classic Drew Holiday

damn Brick Top 15 top one somebody really loves Tyre's Helleburn that's why he's the goat shout out That's why he's the goat Yeah, Tyree's album is good

So, okay, so it seems That the chat consensus As Tyrese is a top 15 player I can rock with that Okay Is he is he a top seven Top six point guard Top six point guard?

For sure I don't even know the names on my head but I'm saying yes He's top six point guard Okay chat let us know Is he top five point guard Tyrese Halliburton top five point guard or not That's not the question

The question is Is he a top three point guard oh so what is it is it step lucca is it step lucca it's a step luca and then tyrese damn that's that's the act that's the actual that's the actual conversation because because he's definitely in that next tier of shay um dame tiresis right all that like he's there is he better than those guys is the question uh She's a tough one. I feel like Shea deserves a credit still.

But if Tyrese does this for a whole season and doesn't slow down, convos will be had, I can assure you. If he does this in the postseason, convoes especially will be had. Like that's all that's weighing in for me. Now, I know we haven't seen Shea in the postseason played in a playing game or whatever. But, yeah, I'm always waiting for those.

That'll help clear the air for me right now. No, if he does this in the playoffs, we're not just having Shea, conversations. We're having like top 10 players superstar conversations if he keeps doing this. Yeah, easily This is crazy. This is crazy. Yeah, I mean, listen, they didn't have KP, so that's a thing, but he got the best team in the league right now out of here. I can't believe Drew Hawley sat there and just let Sam Howser outplay him. That's ridiculous That's ridiculous. He did his Drew Holiday things. You can't expect him to score. He's just not good at it. Ooh, three for nine. There we go. Yeah, I know it's so funny because whenever they made that trade,

I remember we were talking about all, before they made that trade, we were talking about how they need a point guard, they need a playmaker. I mean, they did that trade. I remember Donovan was like, they got him. I don't know if I think, I don't think Drew Holiday has solved that problem for them. I think they still are very reliant on Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown creation with the ball in their hands, which we've seen in the past. They at times don't have the playmaking ability to really drive high-level offense

in the most you know high leverage situations i don't think that's changed with the assistance with the bringing in drew holiday yeah i can agree with that like whenever you think it drew holiday his best asset is like okay cool defense nice scoring and like almost i don't want to say an afterthought it's not a bad passer or orchestrator but like even on a team like the Milwaukee bucks the number one orchestrate when things got crazy when you need someone to help set the table and organize the offense as fucking Chris Middleton in my opinion

so I think the team stats for this game I get that I get that I did listen I did think that Drew is a step up

from playmaking from smart and I don't know if that's definite but I mean my I also like and again this probably

this might be something that is just 100% based off of like field and I test but I just don't feel comfortable with Marcus Smart being the one who it always felt like at the end of the game the ball found him again and he's very erratic and so that aspect and that feeling of like

hey games on the line somehow Marcus Smart is open with the three I just wouldn't want the ball to be in his hands and I'd rather be in Drew Hall of his hands and so that that's why I felt that they that they you know upgraded also on top of the fact that Drew's a better defender than marcus jalen brown three it's a four point game with 12 seconds left maybe he's not over i don't know it's fine it's fine 10 seconds left they're gonna play the foul game yeah looking looking at the stats for the game comparison similar focal percentages the real problem is boston was 12 and 41 from three we talked about it at volume this is what they do they live and die by the three and tonight they died by it when the pacers are the top offense in the league and they're hitting 46

percent of threes and you're only 12 or 41 from three you get up more than they did but you only meet 12 of them it's just hard to win that math game unless you're really locking up on defense and you can't lock up a team like the pacers who are just going to run and gun you make it a shoot out you're not going to lock them up it's impossible and this is in a one game tournament yeah in a one game tournament this is what happens I think in a seven game series the celtics are willing to bet hey over over seven games we can do this four times like our shooting is going to normalize in that sample size but it again like right now like you said it's one game and you go 12 for 41 and you're out of here

and it's open and so yeah they don't I wonder what they're what their counter is in terms of like hey if this is not working where are we where are we going again they also don't have poisingis which is a big deal thank you today yeah at times forzingis has been their second best player wow third uh what do you see now to where y'all the game's also it's on the screen right now the game's over yeah okay 19 112 we can keep going yeah I mean like this Indiana Pacers wow it out moving on shout out the Pacers shout out Tyrese Halliburton don't only have because they won his ass some money yeah I don't want $15 is paid this plus 185 underdogs love it listen the Celtics

out rebound them a lot 56 to 41 they were they nine blocks or was 14 blocks, 14 stocks to 12. Ooh, the Celtics had 18 turnovers to Indiana 6. And again, we talked about this is a team that lives and dies by the three. Also a team, like we just said, not a lot of passing ability. That leads to a lot of turnovers when your two best ball handlers are wing scores that aren't natural passers. You put that against the other side when you have Tyrese Halliburton, the best game manager in the league, probably the best passer. What do you do?

He waited until those 0.6 seconds left and then shot a three and knocked it in. So they just won 122 to 112. Even though that point differential does not matter anymore. That is hilarious. He is so many. Now, Jason Taylor is about to be crying at the podium. He was talking about it before. He's about to be pissed.

It's the stupidest shit ever, man. What was I saying? Yeah, man, 18 turnovers of 6. You're a team full of bad passers versus Tyreys Halliburton, who's the best point guard in your league right now besides Luca. that's going to be an issue for the Celtics. Maybe, again, maybe KP is a difference. They can outsthoot you.

It doesn't matter. But that's going to be a thing. Yeah, exactly, man. But you can't, from a team building standpoint, you can't be too upset with the Celtics. They believe in what they believe in. They're 10 toes down on Jalen Brown, and they're just trying to do everything possible

to maximize their team. And it's up to those two players to bring them home, you know? Yep. 100%. Yeah, man. This game's over. the next one's about to start soon I think this is the place

we end the stream y'all guys go watch the next in season tournament game we're going to be talking about it on this week's pod as well as the finals so I need you all to lock in everybody all the crown eaters in the chat watch the in season tournament
