Starting point is 00:00:20 You're about to have a plague of outsiders descend on your town. Let me tell you this. It's going to be consequences. Mayor of Kingstown, new season now streaming on Paramount Plus. You know, it's better than the one big thing? Two big things. Exactly. The new iPhone 17 Pro on TELUS's five-year rate plan price lock.

Get the new iPhone 17 Pro at TELUS.com slash iPhone 17 Pro on select plans. Conditions and exclusions apply. I asked you guys on a community post to give us your biggest NBA questions that need to be answered this season and we are going to react to him right now see if we give our thoughts on them but just talk through them together okay first up swaggy says when are people going to realize wemby is legitimately the best player in the NBA as long as you stay as healthy how much
Starting point is 00:01:15 sample size you guys got to see of him playing at this level to say that is number one like i'm willing to say he's even with yokic or better i think for me personally in order to be crowned like the best or second or third best player in the league we need to see it for more than one season in order to get the best player in the world title you have to continuously stamp your way in whether be through the playoffs the regular season and the finals you need to have that level of like overall knee deepness foot in in the in the in the NBA I need to see if recover yeah given the actual best playing the world title is tough until you see the playoffs just about just how narratives work and how conversations go when you can point to one guy having a title other guy not so I understand
Starting point is 00:01:55 that but if we're just ranking players and if we try to put that aside I could see it being like a argument in this season. If you have it, yeah, I think like if you start talking about it in the context of 2K ratings and like who just has like the higher overall and you kind of, you know, like decide from there, it would have shocked me if anybody had had wembee one, especially because I mean, he had like nine blocks. Yeah, the defensive gap is so much bigger than everybody else. Like even yannis, who's the best defender of those top five like big five superstar guys. Winby is so much better as a defender right now already. So like you compare up like Luca or we'll say Yok it, same thing.
Starting point is 00:02:31 These guys are going to have outlandish offensive production like always. I kind of think Wembe is closer to them offensively than the other guys are defensively. And I, so I agree with you. I think, like, I need to see, I need to see it for an entire year. I need to see the playoff moments and all that stuff. But also, I just want to see the offensive consistency just because that's going to be the thing this year that's taking the biggest leap out of everything. And so, like, we know what, we know shake and average 33. in a season. We know that Yokic can shoot 40% from three and he's been great. Luca, Yonis,
Starting point is 00:03:04 all of these guys can carry teams and can carry offenses throughout like really whatever lineup is out there. For Wembe, are you able to do that? And are you able to lead the spurs to a top 10 offense? Can I look at you and say we are going to have like our net rating is going to be good obviously because like your defense is so good. But can you bring our offense to have a floor that is so good that instantly puts us into. contender status. I need to see that over a whole year. I do believe he probably could do all those things this year. If you go back to our predictions video or podcast last week, I did make a last many change and said they're going to be a playoff team because I'm like, okay,
Starting point is 00:03:44 the dude should be all time great. This is before we actually saw these guys play. I'm like, okay, shit, I see it now. Maybe they can be like the third tier team, one of the third tier teams in the Western Conference along with the Rockets, Lakers, whoever else you want to throw in that bunch. and if he, bare a minimum, like, wins MVP this year, you got second best player in the world easily. Yeah, I'm, you got that. Exactly. That's the thing to me.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I'm fully prepared to be in second best player in the world convos within the season. And, like, not even just fully prepared, like, anything is possible. He's limitless potential. No, we're going to be there, I'm pretty sure. Like, I'm not going to define, definitively say it just because Shay is so insane.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Luca looks insane as well now that he's skinny and back to Prime Luca in better in many ways we've seen. So it's not a guarantee, but I'm damn near there. Like, if we get to game 40 and he, He's still looking like this, still the most efficient player in the NBA as a score this much volume, still the best offball player in the NBA, still the best defender in the NBA. We're going to be there in top two player talks, almost guaranteed.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Okay, so he's going to be, so we're all expecting like top three by the end of the season. Who are you? Because if it's Yokit and Shea one and two and then it's Janice and Luca in like reversible order, who are you kicking out to be the fourth in that? I hate the talk about kicking out. I mean, technically we literally have to kick someone out. Yeah, like if you're just being real to say in time. Probably Luca, if that's in those groups.
Starting point is 00:05:01 But Luca or Shea, I don't know. Like, it depends how things go. You know, like, Janus is going to be top three regardless. Like, he's been insane. So I would just view it as if the tier gets bigger. Yeah, I feel like for me personally, it's almost just like a positional thing. I'd rather have some like Yolk it's someone like Janus than Shea or Luca, even though Luke is the second or he's one of the bigger guys of that group too.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Yeah, I probably kick out Luca and Shea just naturally. But yeah, who knows. I don't know. Next up. after the wemby glaze okay brady says seriously are the spurs going to be a top five seed
Starting point is 00:05:33 so okay so wemby glaze on wemble glaze this is all we doing one of our friends had said this prior to the season and I was like
Starting point is 00:05:44 you're insane there's no way that they're going to be a top five seed and he texted me the other day he's like this is exactly what I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:05:51 best playing in the world I was like hey man like I put him seven in my rankings five isn't super different I gotta give it to yeah top five seed feels very possible at this point i'm not going to like predict it still because there's so many good teams but if i put you at seven and if your range is get up to five i can't say it's
Starting point is 00:06:05 ridiculous like that's obviously in the real possibility yeah and five seed seven seed that's literally like a four or five game difference not even last year like it's so super close yeah and i think that could very much swing their way and if it does for me personally the biggest swing factor would have been guys like um dear not daren fox but dylan harper being what he is day one looking like he could have been a number one overall pick being already like one of the best young players in the league averaging like 15 16 a game efficient as hell that's going to be like the compelling argument for me and my mind as to why they are a top five seed they're going to make a trade they got to get some wings in there that's what that's what
Starting point is 00:06:44 it'll be i think they can float around this range as currently constructed but i think if they if we get to january and we see that they're this good and we see a real run is within grasp wimby is good enough already to be the best player on a team that can make a deep run fox comes in, fits perfectly. Harper does what you just said he does. I think trading for some kind of three-inded wing, Dylan Brooks and Andrew Wiggins, whatever, all the guys I want the Lakers to get, if the Spurs get the other one, the Lakers don't get, this team can make it run like this. And their schedule to start off isn't super, that's super taxing. They, they can, we can get to Christmas or we can get to January and they would have played one of the easier schedules
Starting point is 00:07:20 in the league. And so, like, that's, that's fine. Right now, if I, right now, they're, They're going to win the Emirates NBA Cup. Okay. Blake C40 says, is Sangoon a top five center? See, you acting like you don't care about the Emory. And respected, man, what the hell's wrong with you? I'm not going to keep the video movie.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Come on now. Is Sanguant in a top five center? I'm just going to say blindly yes. I don't even know who the top five centers are right now, but I'm just going to be like, yep he is. He vaguely feels like a top five center? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:46 So there's Wemby, there's Yokich. I guess I'm not throwing in a beat. No, we're not going to like, threw that out the window. Bam, somewhere in there probably. Cat. Cat. Yeah, he's top five. Chet.
Starting point is 00:08:00 In that range. Chet's not fucking four. We're not comparing Chetts to no. They play him there, but yeah. They play Sanguinette Powerford. Yeah, I'll do it. He's top five.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Yeah, I'm saying he's top five. I would take him. I take him over Kat at this point probably. That feels a little bit. That's really hard. It is a lot. He's in that combo though. If he ranks anywhere from four to six or seven,
Starting point is 00:08:20 all those guys are clumped in together, that's completely fair to me. Yeah, I think I'm jumping to curb for sure, but assuming. Yeah, 80 is well. Yeah, AD, he's probably at the tail end of that. You're taking him or Bam? Singoon or Bam?
Starting point is 00:08:32 If the three-point shot is real and we see that real develop and he shoots a good amount and a good volume, I'll take Sang-Gut over Bam. Yeah, it's close. It's close because Bam's defense is one of the better when it comes to guarding at the rim or, yeah, decent at the rim. Y'all are saying he's three, y'all have to relax. He's three. You don't have to relax three.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Unless you're not counting Anthony Davis and you're saying that's a power forward, which Sang-goon put power forward to you, if you're counting Anthony Davis, I feel crazy to me. yeah i'm just going to say loosely he is top five for show yeah that's fair you i hit that certainly in top five yeah i'll give him that he got top five nearing 41 and entering his 23rd season is this truly lebron's last dance y'all we've had lebron in our lives for over two decades you should know how he operates by now we are going to get the pomp we are going to get the circumstance he's going to tell us when and where his final season is going to start and end he's going to tell us where the parade is going to go after the final game. He's going to
Starting point is 00:09:29 release a clip or an article. We're going to get some monstrous thing. And if you have not received any of that, then it is not happening. Facts. Dude, Netflix would have went ahead and announced this. He would have gone like a $20, $30 million deal. Cameras falling him and brawny fucking everywhere. There's no way in Ellie's retirement. If you have not received a pamphlet in the mail alerting you of his upcoming special on ESPN to announce it, it has not happened yet. You will see a banner fly through the skies that'll be written in the clouds. It'll say LeBron's retirement tour begins today.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I feel like he's probably going to retire at his 25th year. He can't. No, I don't think two more years. I was. What, in terms of his play and like ability? You can definitely, if he wants to, he can play for seven more years and be a servicel role player.
Starting point is 00:10:14 No, I'm not even saying serviceable. Like to this point where he can average his 23 points for a game and do his normal stuff? Can you get two more? I don't think so. For what? What do we have at the point to do to say you can't? My brother can't.
Starting point is 00:10:25 sit down like what do you mean like he has sciatica he hasn't played a game this year i was for for this year my my bold prediction for this year is that on christmas day lebron's going to announce his retirement no that would be the worst way to end everyone's christmas what the hell no on christmas he's going to he's going to take the biggest stage that the NBA has and and that and that is going to be his is dead you think he wants half of a parade like a half a season of a retirement tour No, man, he's fumbling. You know LeBron's all about his bag, too. There's no way in hell he's going to waste half a year of nothing.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Okay, let me get more. I'll get more into this conspiracy thing like you. He's for sure going to wait until the summer, I think. Because he's got to play out this season. If they're great, if he comes back, him, Luke and Austin Reeves are a big three and they can make a deep run. God forbid make a finals, he's going to want to stay and ride that out because he can get one more chip at Luca.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Look around the league. There's no better chance. If Lucas hit hole and did they work, that's going to be the best chance. So if they win, he wants to win some more and get to six rings. if they look like shit, then he can leave in the summer, decide then to the retirement tour in Cleveland or whatever. But he's got to see it through and just see if there's a possibility of stringing together
Starting point is 00:11:31 some more stuff with Lucas. So we're not getting anything until the summer. For sure. Yeah, definitely not this year. Because if it doesn't work, he's not going to go out sad and halfway, be like, yeah, I've had enough. Can't do it. We're going to go retire. He can't go out bad. And if he goes out good with Luca, they have to see it through. Yeah. And if he does go out bad, I can envision
Starting point is 00:11:47 the world where he's like, oh, fuck it okay. Last year the contract, he's taking his ass over there to Cleveland for one last year. When he's doing his thing, going to the finals, and who knows what happens to that. Yeah. So, yeah, he's you're right the first time. We will know we'll have a whole year to celebrate. Will Reed Shepard be a huge bust? Is Hesie Trapp's
Starting point is 00:12:03 question? Huge bus is, bus is a really strong word, but honestly, given the expectations and just the necessity of the rockets right now, it's going to feel like it if he's not like an all-star level
Starting point is 00:12:19 player. It'll feel like it because they drafted a Jalen Green number two. Jabari's fine, so I'm not going to say, that but it's not a great top pick and then read number three like that's not a good run of draft picks that's not going to feel great yeah so i think i don't know if i would tagline him as a huge bust necessarily because he out of all the draft picks that you guys just mentioned he is the like at least with hindsight now and even traveling back back then a couple years ago like the least consequential draft pick ever and his his bang to like be a bus ratio all and all isn't like overly important.
Starting point is 00:12:53 It was a bad draft class. It's not like they missed on anybody amazing. Yeah, exactly. Like, there's no, there's not too many players that you can name after he was selected where you'd be like, man,
Starting point is 00:13:01 we really worked on this one. Not really. It's him or castle and like, I'll fucking live. Like, it's not like, you know, if it misses and Castle's better, which seems pretty likely, I'll live.
Starting point is 00:13:08 It's not like I lost out on Donovan Mitchell. You know, it's not insane. Yeah. Which offseason acquisition looks the best and which will look the worst? Okay. Looks the best. Right on Norm Powell
Starting point is 00:13:20 looks real damn good. I don't know if that exists for the whole season because when Tyler Hero comes back, maybe it'll just, he'll look a little more like Norman Powell who'll be asked less of him. Desmond Bain would probably look the best for the end of the season. Doesn't look great so far.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Same thing for Kevin Durantz. Man, what looks the best is the trait that the Atlanta Hawks made during the summer for the New Orleans Pelicans slash the Milwaukee Box pick. The Norris Pelicans are currently winless and Zion Williamson has a bone boom bruise right now and he's questionable to play the next game.
Starting point is 00:13:49 That looks amazing for me right now. That's the best off-season acquisition so far. What are y'all going to say? When DeAndre ate in a Marcus Smart. Get the fuck out of here. All right, brother. You just said Marcus Smart in 2020. He's been playing pretty well.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I'm enjoying the Marcus Smart experience. I'm not going to lie. I love it until he plays my team. I wouldn't enjoy it. He's flopping? hilarious. Yeah. They were up by 7 with like 15 seconds left in the last game.
Starting point is 00:14:09 He flopped for no reason. Try a shot charge and 10 seconds left. The game was over. He just for the love of the game. He had to do it. Which would look the worst? Any of them looked terrible so far? Free agent acquisitions or just off season?
Starting point is 00:14:20 terrible offseason acquisition. It might be, it's not like an acquisition but re-uping on, on knock a portal, when like the Raptors are like, they're good, no, they're good. They don't, I don't think they regret that at all.
Starting point is 00:14:36 They should, you think they're good? They're good. Yeah. You think they're good? Yeah, they're not bad. They're not good. They're not good. They're not getting fried. They're not terrible. They're not good. But, yeah, they should have, like, everyone's been thinking they should have like cashed in on that. He wasn't going to be the difference to them being really good or really bad So it would probably be a pretty
Starting point is 00:14:54 Just paying more because like And again like we're going to talk more about it later this week But like the Raptors If you look at their cap sheet It's crazy It's one of the most like You know what we are thinking here Yeah
Starting point is 00:15:07 Okay Does AJ Mitchell have all-star potential Slow that Hey man When it comes to players at the Oklahoma City Thunder on earth I will not put any limits on any of them He looks really good If you want to tell him he's the next Brunson, they're going to find him at the Woodworks,
Starting point is 00:15:21 and he's going to continue to rise up the ranks and become the next star point guard. Yeah. Who am I to disagree with Mr. Sam Presti? I think he definitely does have all-star potential. Seeing how he's been able to just like... He definitely does. Yeah, for sure he does. Seeing how he's been able to...
Starting point is 00:15:35 You got it. Go ahead and... He's really good. He is good. Dude, see how Mike Dagnall just, like, entrusted him in certain minutes in the playoffs last year in the biggest stages. It's kind of crazy. He knows something that we don't know just yet.
Starting point is 00:15:51 And earlier in the season, two, three games in so far, you can't tell me that he doesn't. I can't tell you he doesn't have all some potential. But I'm not going to listen. He has really good player potential, though. Like, he is going to be extremely good, I think. He's going to be a quality starter. I'm excited if he can earn being the striking point guard. And we have Shay and Jada being the two and the three get a little bit bigger.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Or not even a little bigger because you still have, like, Lou Dort and stuff. But a little bit bigger ball handling size and being. able to be a little more multidimensional, I hope he's able to be good like this. I think right now we're looking at a player on the Thunder who can also dribble and it's like, wow. Yeah, I know. Well, no, he is good. No, no, I know he's good, but the boost is like, oh, him and Shay are doing all the, all the creating all the ball handling because they're the ones that they can do it.
Starting point is 00:16:36 All-Star is a bit, is a bit tough. Oh, of course. This all-star guard in the West, like, I don't know. Oh, and the West is crazy. Will the Atlanta Hawks trade, Tray Young if the season doesn't come out to a decent playoff run, And if they trade him, what team would be in the market? No. Put this in there for you.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Just going to be a little lackluster to start the year. Yeah, not good to start the year at all. Welcome to the Sacramento Kings trio. Hell, no, that's not happening in a million years. At least I pray to God it doesn't happen. I pray to God it happens. Get him out of there. He doesn't, I don't want to see Tray Young lead teams anymore, I think.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I want to see Tray Young co-star to a really great player. It's too early to say. No, it's not. It's only like, five years have been saying that. It's only like three games and whoopty-woo, like, we went ahead and lost like three of our starters. That's insane to start the first three games. Yeah. But it's not
Starting point is 00:17:24 looking good so far. The Lakers did in Austin Reeves dropped 51 so like what's good. Yeah, get on my fucking level. Shout out to Austin Rees. I love what he's doing. Get you a DeAndre? It's different. It's different. You can't experience this until you get Deandre 819. I tried. I got me a KP and got a tummy bug again, bro. It's over with. No, I just do this and to troll you. But I do really want to see Trayung be a
Starting point is 00:17:40 co-star or not the guy on a team. No matter what how the season goes. I'm kind of over it. Can the maps truly recover from having no point guard and reached their championship expectations with just a rookie and dilo uh just a rookie and dlo there okay so championship expectations is a bit lofty i think if you're looking at them for that then that's a that's a bit further however recovering from having no point guard yes i i think that like cooper flagg is he's he's he's going to be okay and the ball handling and the point guard stuff is fine i don't necessarily i don't have a massive
Starting point is 00:18:12 objection to the idea of cooper flag playing playing port guard in general my big thing was It's his first game. It's his first, like, month. Let him just play his regular position and get used to NBA basketball before we start springing different jobs on him in terms of, like, leading the offense. But if we're talking about, I mean, he seems to be, you know, handling it fine. If you're talking about playing him as a point guard in a secondary role with Delo or whenever Kyrie comes back, yeah, I think that's fine.
Starting point is 00:18:42 No. Is it championship expectations? If it's just a rookie in Delo, no. No, they won't play championship expectations. But will Kyrie coming in lets you get to that potentially if he comes in and is recovered well? It's a lot of a lot of worry on his shoulders for a guy coming off of an ACL, but if it was just these two, no, no more championship expectations. I think we're past that. Yeah, even with Kyrie coming back, whatever that looks like, I think it's just entirely too late for, it will probably be entirely too late for that.
Starting point is 00:19:07 I don't know how good this team will be without him. And when it comes to the point guard experiment, I'm starting to realize, okay, maybe him starting there doesn't really matter when you got guys. guys like Delo still playing like 30 minutes a game or whatever. Yeah, their defense sucks right now. The offense is abysmal. It'll probably get better with time as they get used to this style of play, maybe work out some kinks. They suck right now. So I'm done with championship expectations of any
Starting point is 00:19:30 sort. Yeah. Can Austin Reeves take that next league and solidify himself as Lucas number two becoming a top five shooting guard in the league? I'm not going to lie. I've been waiting to say this. Us for the last few years have been trying to think, scour, scout the entire league and see
Starting point is 00:19:46 where the next Jayland Brunson is. He's been right in front of your face the entire time, and I think with all the 40-point performances, 40-point triple-double with against Boston Celtics last year when all those guys, LeBron and Luke were out again. I think he's here. He's proven it. This is not ridiculous. This is not ridiculous. I'm going to say, yes, you're right. Your question will be answered with an emphatic yes.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Top five shooting guard. Fuck it. We got the big three. We know we got Anthony Edwards, DeMitch, Booker. After that, who's solidified as like, you can't put Austin Reeves in that combo? We get into open conversation spots real fast. If you tell me he gets one of his last two spots, I'm with it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Yeah, because it goes into him or Jalen Brown or him or Bain. And it's like... Him or Bain? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll leave in other conversations. He could do that. Yeah, why not? I'm willing to glaze to that degree.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Him and Luca are going to be extravagant. It's going to work really well. If LeBron, I pray, it continues to work this well because LeBron can come in. Everyone keeps saying, is LeBron one to put his ego aside and be the third fiddle? Yes, he's been begging to do it for years, but Anthony David. was not ready for it these two guys are ready for it i think we're going to see 21 point per game lebron playing hard on defense doing the short roll stuff doing all the other things to fit around those two i'm excited 50 point damn near triple double is crazy i'm excited that's a hardened s that line
Starting point is 00:21:03 right there and it also has to do with the strength of the shooting guard position it's not a oh naturally you know it's just it's an easy bar to the fifth we said desin bain who's not an all-star so lucre awesome ruse can be an all-star yes i think in fact like he should be he's playing at that level I don't think he'll be an all-star But you're asking for three all-stars on your team Well, we'll see how much time LeBron misses Like, you know, maybe, yeah The fanvo's a fan vote
Starting point is 00:21:27 But you know You're right Yeah, he's gonna be a starter Yeah, unless he misses so much time You can't be like I'm taking LeBron at that equation So yeah And maybe it's the third alternate type of thing
Starting point is 00:21:37 I think I could see this happening 100% like Unless the LeBron thing happens Next year for sure Either way, they're gonna pay in the summer He's gonna get it bag to be rich man. I'm cautiously optimistic about this team
Starting point is 00:21:49 for when LeBron comes back right now. But if we can weather these goddamn injuries. Are we underrating Janus now? Yes. What he's doing is not normal. I understand his standards, but it's insane how normalize it is. 100,000% we are underrating Janus right now.
Starting point is 00:22:01 We've fully taken him for granted. This team right now is so mid around him, but they are so perfectly suited to let Janus eat. They will go exactly as far as Janus takes them. And through three games, he's taking him to the goddamn moon. He's putting up stupid numbers. He's focusing on rebound.
Starting point is 00:22:15 running a defense again really hard the scoring is outlandish this guy is one man armying his team into being competitive games with contenders like the calves we are fully underrating yonis i did not think that this was was going to happen i thought that we were going to get like this version of yannis but that it wasn't going to mean anything and the fact that it that it is meaningful the fact that they are going to be a very solid team like all the three teams that we mentioned earlier in the magic the hawks the pistons one of them has to watch out because the bucks are going to be there and might be able to snatch not one, but two of their chains and get to be like a top four. Everything we said about the buck supporting casping and buns is true. Yonis is just
Starting point is 00:22:54 so good. They had just enough spacing and just enough athleticism that he is carrying them regardless. Yeah, that's all of Yonnas needed going back to what you said. A little bit of spacing, which they got Coe Anthony. They got dairy bird. They also have Kyle Kuzman, who's not even played that many minutes alongside him. He's back up now. Amazing job. And Miles Turner. Yeah, I love to see. spacing and you guys who could jump really high and run fast, this is the honest team. Yep. We'll see how much you can do with this. I still think it's in the same way because they're not going to win a playoff series
Starting point is 00:23:23 of these guys, but he didn't carry them to a fucking amazing season off of his strengths. Yeah. Are the Hornets and Lamello finally going to make the leap to competency and could they make the playoffs? Playoffs is a lot, man. They can be for me. They can make the plan. That's super possible just with the strength of the east.
Starting point is 00:23:38 And I do have hoped that they will find competency now. So far through a few games, Lamello's looked. good like it started last year before the team fell off a cliff it looks like they have just enough talent that we can finally learn how far the middle can take you playing okay playing is is tough is it is it too i don't think it's tough can they be as good as a raptors probably to their defense stinks let me tell you something about the raptors offense let me tell you a thing or too i okay i understand that but like right now and like the hornets have uh Again, three games, offensive rating, whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:15 It's like, it's the best in the league. And I don't know if I trust that fully in terms of being like, in terms of being like at the top or being one of like the elite elite units, which if your defense is going to be trash, you are going to need that to be like truly competent. So I'm a little, I'm holding out a little bit and maybe, maybe I've just seen like, because we've seen Lamello have great starts to the season. do we get to a point where
Starting point is 00:24:43 he still has the same like what we saw last year the volume was still insane but the efficiency kind of died off a little bit towards like towards Christmas second half of the year but that's also the team got hurt it really fell out of the focus
Starting point is 00:24:56 was on the Mello but the team was really dodged around him and I understand about also like we've you hate him now I get it no not not even not even but I do think like play playoffs
Starting point is 00:25:09 playoffs I'll say no playing i do think it's a stretch but i can understand it okay but the mellow has been really good does the path of the finals now run through new york no the hell is denver's bench good enough to win the champion wait time about talking about we just skipped over that how do you feel about yonis and like the addition of bruce brown and tim hardaway screening is so important being big matters in the NBA and it's been proven to do so when it comes to bruce brown and his ability to run really harder and be a small vertical threat that's a new archetype in the league that we don't talk about.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Gray-Pain GP2, bro, important. He's that there. One thing I thought about, so Yonis sucks at offense and kind of sucks their defense. I didn't think about the fact that obviously Yokish also kind of sucks at defense, but they built the perfect system
Starting point is 00:25:50 to take advantage of his size and not making it move a lot with the zone and stuff. They can do that still with Yonis Fanchunis. So I think his defense is impact. Tomah, you spend more time on Yonis Val and Tuesday than the Nix?
Starting point is 00:25:59 Like, what are we doing? It's a yes or no. How are we going with this? I agree. So it's good enough to go ahead to win a championship. To win a chair, Yes, it's possible.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I'm not going to pick them as a favorite, but they can be in the conversation for sure. I agree. Stop this madness right now. Stop this madness right now. And that's the last one. And that is the end of this stream. We appreciate all coming in today.
Starting point is 00:26:16 We talked about... I'm being silenced. We talked about your biggest questions that would define this season. Call your local representative. They're trying to silence us. Please. It was a good stream.
Starting point is 00:26:25 We got to react to... You have a voice. Go be heard. Make your voice known. Out in these streets. We got to have some conversation about the hairline scandal. We got to glaze Wemby and give us
Starting point is 00:26:34 Please, they are trying to lie to you. And with that being said, we'll see y'all. They're burning the books. Speak up.
