Speaker 1 (00:12):
One of the two most interesting games today, and this
is the game the chat's been begging us to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The Lakers loser close with that man older.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
They have a twelve point I mean a ten point
lead going into the fourth quarter, but ant Man went berserk.
He scored sixteen of his game high forty three points
as they outscored the Lakers thirty two to thirteen.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Lakers thirty two to nineteen. Excuse me.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The Lakers shot just five of eighteen in the fourth,
including three or nine in the last five minutes. Lebron legs,
I text Ash this and I text this early. I said,
it looks like JJ is gonna roll with these guys
the entire second half. I say, you talk about forty
six minutes for Lebron on forty year old legs, you
talk about Luca forty five and a half minutes, you're
(00:56):
talking about Rui and Doe in aar.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I say, that's a lot of weird terror.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I say, it's going to be very, very interesting if
this game come down to the last three, four to
five minutes. It's gonna be very interesting if the Lakers
can hold up. And you see Lebron took two shots
in the fourth quarter. He had zero points in the
fourth quarter. He's exhausted. I think it's the first time
in what twenty years that nobody subbed for the Lakers
in the second half of a ball game. Everybody that
(01:24):
started the game played twenty four minutes of a possible
twenty four minutes. And now I'm concerned because I don't
know how the Lakers play better. You got twenty three
points on nine of sixteen shooting from ruin five to ten,
twenty three points. You got Lebron twenty seven points of
fifteen to eighteen. From the free throw line, he had
twenty seven twelve eight three steel three blocks. Okay, you
(01:48):
got Luca played gave you thirty eight, seven to seven
from the pre throw line. He only had one rebound
to as sins. They turned him into a score. You
can live with that. I just don't want him to
get thirty eight and twelve and assists. Told him you
got ar he scored. He only scored seventeen, but he
got all of those in the second half. The bitch
gave us six points, and I think that was the
(02:10):
difference in the ball game, because their bitch gave you
twenty points. Nos Reed gave you twelve points, Devinceenzo gave
you eight points, and to kill Alexander Walker gave you
six five points. But it was ad Man and you
Randall that really was. And Jane Jane Daniels McDaniel's been
playing unbelievable. I don't know where this guy came from,
but he's been sensational in the postseason where ant Man
(02:32):
did what a superstar supposed to do, GP and take well. Shannon,
Shannon Daniels is as a teacher stopper.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
He plays like that, but he gives you more. I'm
gonna compare you Daniels to my son.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
They give you everything they have to do to win
basketball games, not just defense. When they start scoring and
they do special stuff, their team is gonna win. We're
gonna go back to that, Chad, listen what I'm saying.
Gonna go back and what what China?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You see?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Why do you think Minnesota won? First of all, the
Lakers can't play defense. They are I have no defense, said,
oh you feel me. That's just a bad thing. And
they kneel big to protect the rim once they get beaten.
They don't have that absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So now what happened was is that that man God
got busy. So let me tell you about this.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
What should you do about a guy who gets hot
double you get the ball out of his hand and
make somebody else be special. But whether you know or
that did, Minnesota got other people to come off the
bench and be special and make shots. See, that's that's
a difference. I was at my son's game them last
night and they were beating up Curry for a long time.
(03:46):
I kept saying, get him off the ball, stop having
him be on the ball so they can double him
every time.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And then they finally listened.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
They started getting him at the bottom and he started
coming off pits. But when they saw him doubling him
and all of a sudden, who started getting busy my son.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And other people and they beat them.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
You know what I'm saying, You will have to have
a cast to support you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's what the game is about. It ain't about.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Superstars down there when his playoffs come, it ain't about superstars.
It's about who's gonna support my superstar to get me
to win basketball games. And the teams who are winning
down aren't that guy a cast that supporting they're superstars?
So when they superstars get to start going. Reason why
(04:35):
it was got busy today because he was one on
one everybody, and ain't nobody gonna drop him one on one.
If you start doubling on him and doubling him and
everybody else and not making shocks, you're not gonna win games.
It's not gonna happen. So when you start doing that,
what's gonna do? And my superstar passing playing, passing the ball,
(04:55):
and my other supporters started at making buckets, then what
do what?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Coach? You're gonna start saying, Man, don't leave him, don't
leave him. We can't do it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
But when your superstar go one on one, it's hard
to guard a superstar one on one.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Ain't nobody's gonna guard nobody, stop nobody one on one?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Is it like with you, Chad and with you chatting?
And remember if they got single covers on y'all? I
mean y'all getting y'all that that that that.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Just like uh uh fish streets, y'all.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I mean like going out there and picking something or
I kill y'all every time I see y'all.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
One on one. I'm gonna get everything on y'all. So
y'all gotta get done.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You know who we're gonna go to that We're gonna
go to the other man and Wenna start killing them.
That's how the gang goes. And if you don't have
a supported past, it's not gonna work. It's not gonna
work in this league right now because these dudes are
too athletic and they they can get it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So that's more winning games.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Now because they're athletic and they and they and they
not make they make it shots and I'm superstars don't
have to work as hard as they do.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Erry, Yeah, hey uncle, when in GP, want to look
out the next game? Obviously, watching the Lakers play with
Luca having a good game and then doing what he did,
Lebron doing what he did earlier in the game, and
they had contributions from everybody else. Obviously the bench didn't
score and support the top the big dip. They're big
(06:24):
three as you should want to call it in a sense.
But the Wolves having twenty off the bench and then
having goddamn a man go crazy to night with forty three,
you know, nine and six.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know that's what.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
He's supposed to do, and unk you can't say or
have a reason. We know Lebron is forty. You know,
we understand that he's still playing the game, especially the
time like this. It ain't no time to come out.
It ain't you can't come out. You got to play
the whole game. But you have to contribute more in
that time, in crunch time in order for your team
to win. You got to tired legs, feeling good. It
(07:02):
don't matter that that's that's just what it is.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So we.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Chatting in.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
They don't do nothing anyway, They don't practice, they don't
do nothing that ain't tied. You know what I'm saying,
And what I tell y'all he is is channing. He
might be forty, but he's still doing what he do
in his league. When you do what you do in
this league and don't get no support and everybody keep focusing.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
On you and beating you down, you're gonna get tight.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes, you ain't got no support from nobody who making
shots to free me up?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Then that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Both of them gat thirty eight, twenty seven or whatever
they want to. But at the end, it ain't nobody
doing nothing but us too. All we gotta do is
focus on you too, and then what's gonna happen, you too,
ain't my other people ain't doing no cast.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You see the throwder off the bench and had support.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So when it got time for the crucial chib, you
can't go and double Edwards because I'm worried about these
dudes off the bench, worried about Junior Rand the worried
about Novs, Reed, McDaniels, I'm worried about and Reed made
a bit three at the in three minute two of them,
you right, and bumps at them. So now am I
(08:18):
worried about him? Yes, I'm worried about him. So I
can't go and say no, I ain't gonna try to
guard him because he's gonna make suns.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So that's freed up everybody. And with Lebron and Luca,
you can't say that it ain't gonna work like that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
We just go and double them and hope that when
when they go to this other player he gonna miss shots.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And what did the Lakers do? They shot?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Lebron had several points in the first In the fourth quarter,
Luca had one rebound to assist. It's his fewest rebounds
and assists ever in a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The bench.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Nav Reed had a Novs reed had twelve, Devincenzo had six.
Lakers excuse me, Evencenzo had eight and the Lakers had six.
And so it seems to me that they were like,
you know what, we're content, We're gonna make you will
let you score. But what we're not gonna do is
let you get thirty eight and eight assists, thirty eight
and ten assists because now the others are involved. And
(09:17):
so look and that played right into their hands. You see,
if you look at Man, what did that man have
to date? At Man had forty three and six and cists.
You see he got others involved, right if it see assists,
people like, well, why he didn't have no assists, Well
I would have I would have had a double digits
in the sist if God could have made shots. Luca
(09:37):
smoked two layups. Lebron smoked the layup, Auster Reeves smoked
the layup. When you playing a team like this, you
have to cash in on every opportunity, every opportunity, and
then chatty.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Sham, we let let let's make another case of this.
Look at the different game yesterday against the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You've seen the joke he was killing, right, They all
try to go and go at him on the last
second ninety nine, ninety nine, he go and take a
fade away three.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
They worried about him. Everybody worried about him, and then
the air bawl. And who makes the who make the
final dunk to win the game. Aaron Gordon. Okay, So
that's why I'm trying to tell y'all, y'all joke. You
we gotta understand that other role.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Players gotta be that type of guy man with this,
with this different stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And he wind up with what thirty something twenty some
rebounds to eight or nine fist men two.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, he had like thirty six, thirty six, twenty one
and eight. Yeah, And that's what is all about.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Your role players have to be with you in this
day of era, in this basketball game to win basketball game.
And he ain't just that out. Check GP check this
that out. Nov reed In the fourth courter of this series,
has twenty six points. He's nine of ten from the
field goal and field goal, he's six or six from
three clutch. The last five minutes of the ball game,
(11:02):
O Joe, the game was this within five points. That's
what they can fill the clutch time, he's six or
six from the three a clutch situation.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
He's not a pin for the floor with twenty six points.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I mean, you talk about Jordan, you talking about Kobe whomever,
they've never been like this. You talk about the guy
that biss one shot, he's perfect from the three. And
that's what we're talking about, Ojoe here. Man, these separate
dudes you have to have on your team. You remember,
you remember the Lakers had Robert Horry who did his
(11:38):
thing a day.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
When you have a big shot at the big shot,
ball shot, at the big shot, at the big shot,
you want a guy. And I tell people, as I
coach now and junior college, I said, you want to
be on the floor with six minutes. You're the closer.
You're the closer. I want you to make big shots
for with him. And read what was he last year?
(12:01):
Sixth Man of the Year.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yep, you feel what I'm saying. He coming in and
making these big time shots.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And that's what you want from the does and that's
why you're gonna win championships. That's only way you're gonna
win championships in this NBA.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Okay, well, listen, now that we got we got all
that good stuff out the way, let's talk about the
meat and potatoes of this series and what's going on
right now. The Lakers are down three one uh and
and GP, GP, you can probably attest to this and
have a better answer. But I'm sure Unk you probably
knew as well, being as your knowledge and and and
and and the acumen of the game of basketball is good.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do you see any scenario at all, any type of
magical going seven? The GP? I see GP take shaking
his head. They going seven? Oh well wait, wait, wait, wait,
So you still feel there's a possibility that the Lakers
going back down? Stop it me and you can better
dinner on miss. Run it I, run it, run it
(12:58):
anywhere you want to go. Man, Oh yeah, I'm with that.
No way, that's it. It don't beat them three in
a row. Ain't no way seven games?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
No not.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Guess what we got that The problem that, the problem
that JJ ran into.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Is that Lebron had just played thirty eight forty minutes
a night ago, and then you follow that up. Now,
the best thing about this they don't play again until Wednesday,
so Lebron get an extra day lucul get an extra day.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
We got this. We're gonna go back to Minnesota. We're
gonna get that.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
So are we are we saying the fact that that
they're losing is because they're no. No, no, I'm saying no, no, no, no,
good team. But I'm saying, oh, Joe, when you play,
just imagine how your legs feel.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Just imagine if you had to play a football game
on Monday and then you got to play another one
on Wednesday, not Thursday, Monday, Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, I mean, would you would forty play a wide receiver?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I think I would. Yeah, Yeah, I'll be good.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Were talking about for it is different though, you got see,
our mentality is different than that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Though you can't compare the kids us. You know what
I'm saying, our mentality.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
If you can have a mentality, all you want to
that body, no, the mind women, but the body just
ain't able to get up.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It down. We're playing and I'm gonna I'm gonna go
and get up. I'm gonna go and get it cool.
Speaker 1 (14:25):

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Oh fifty nine, It went to fifty fifty nine. Yep
A in this economy. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I need if I'm play in this account of me.
Lebron said, Tyn Leggs was not the cause of the missus.
JJ Ready became the first coach to play five players
for an entire half in the playoffs. JJ said on
this started playing the entire second half. It wasn't playing,
but we just made the decision at halftime. Magic Johnson
questioned the strategy. I'm just sick to my stomach that
(18:23):
the Lakers lost this game after being controlled most of
the second half. I don't know if it's smart to
play Lebron and Luca the entire second half after only
having one day rest between game.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Three and four.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
We needed Lebron to take over the fourth quarter and
he couldn't. He scored zero points in the fourth. I agree,
I agree the reps missed the trip Luca got tripped.
I mean that was a blatant trip. He doesn't follow
us on.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
We watched it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
He gets tripped, so we should have been at the
free throw line. Yes, Luca missed the smoking the layup
that would have put him up seven. They come down
here to three. So now all of a sudden been
up seven, you're only up to too. You see, you
(19:09):
see how momentum swing. Lebron missed the layup. H had
uh become out of time out, had a great curl
set smoked that layup.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Ar smoked the layup. It's just a look I think
it was.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Lebron Is said like he don't want to make excuses,
but gp when you asked that man, the dude, the
man had he let He had more the most rebounds
of anybody that touched the court today. He had the
most assist of anybody to touch the court today. He
had the most block shots, He had the most stealed. Well, no,
Deevin Chenzo had the most healed. But you talk about
a forty year old then letting rebounds, leading block shots,
(19:46):
letting assist. You're asking a for Think about what you're
asking a forty year old, a forty year old, what
you're asking him to do.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And shout it.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
A'm comment on that we we we own a free
of a nature job to do. I get it what
you're saying about we asked you. He's different. He's a
lot different. I don't agree with him not getting no
rest in the second half. I think you resting for
two or three or four minutes. He's quarter resting for
like two or three minutes and bringing back and do
(20:18):
the same thing. But what I do with JJ, I'm
gonna go to JJ Reddi's defense. He was saying, I
can't lose this game. I'm gonna go with my player
who I think gonna give me something. You know what
I'm saying. He shouldn't have did that, you know, and
timeouts don't cut it. Sometime it don't work. I would
have gave him three to four minutes for five minutes
(20:41):
every quarter. I would have did five minutes and then
still control it. I get what Magic is saying. You
know what I'm saying, to give.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Him his legs.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I would have gave him third quarter. I would have
set he five six minutes and.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Then played in the whole fourth war.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You know what I'm saying, That's what I would have did.
It was it was a bad decision on his behalf.
But I think of what JJ is thinking. As the
first year, he needed go get this game. I gotta
get this and it didn't work out for him. Now
what he's gonna go back, He's gonna read evaluate everything.
He's gonna give him rests because they need this win
(21:18):
in LA on Wednesday, and I think they gonna get
the win on LA. They're gonna get. But I'm just saying, oh, so,
should he should have evaluated that a little bit different.
I don't think it's legs and all that. I think
he got tired and they went away from everything that
they did to me. You go, put Lebron on the block,
(21:42):
See if they're gonna double me. Let him guard one
on one and go at Yeah. And if you watch
the game, it's that too high watched Luca watch.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Lebron, our focus on all of y'all.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Put him on the block, let him come down there
and double You know what I'm saying and do things
like that, but they don't play that way.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Y'all know, Shan Chad, this game made like us.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
If I see you and Chad on a divantagement on one,
y'all play every day.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I'm gonna here until until they stop it. You stop
it until they stop it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
And with me, when Lebron being six eight to six,
I'm gonna put you on the block.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I'm not gonna put you up top where everybody get
focused in on you and we can stuck in. Put
you on the block, and if you gotta come dun
with me, let me kick it to somebody hit a jumper.
Then you gonna start being a releventda what? And they
didn't play that game. I knew Lebron was gonna play
a ton of minutes today because he normally takes his
break at about six minutes six thirty. He didn't take
(22:47):
his break today until about four minutes. He got two
minutes and then he was right back in the game
and he didn't come out again. So I knew it
was gonna be one of those. In our texted ash
and said, as first of all, I knew that we're
in trouble. GP Lebron is going off, Luca is going off,
and they got a four point lead. Let that thinkin
now all my artillery and I only got a four
(23:09):
point lead, and these guys are going haywhy in the
first half. So that's not good because normally when guys
going off, that's a ten, that's a twelve, fourteen point lead.
You got both of your big guns in Minnesota's right there,
so they gotta feel good.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
And as a matter of fact, they had a three
point lead at the half.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
They're like, hold on, Lebron had twenty two, Luca got
twenty one. That's forty three right there, and we still
got the lead.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
We good.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
It's the same thing with the Lakers when they lost
to the Nuggets, when Lebron went crazy in the first half,
he had like thirty thirty two points GP. You remember
that game, yep, in the first half. They're like, oh,
he done, he's a finish wade bluing load.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
We got this. He ended up he had thirty two
at the half.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
He ended up having forty for the game because he
exerted so much and it wasn't enough to get the
separation that he needed. Luke and Lebron exerted so much Lebron.
I think Lebron had five points in the third quarter,
none in the fourth quarter. But they did a great
job of taxing him. And because I think a lot
of this GP because Lebron is so tired. They like
he's not even a threat when he on the block,
(24:18):
because that's normally Julius random, Julius Radda takes a lot
out of you because he's a big body guy. He
wants to bang on you. He's gonna bang you when
you playing defense on him. He's gonna bang on you
when you're playing defense on him. He's gonna bang on you.
For it's just bang, bang bang. And after a while
that takes that, that zaps the legs.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
But then, let me tell you this, even doing that,
why do I get even found trump? Let he bang
bang me. Now I go addy spin on him. Do
the things you do.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
But doesn't mean you gotta work the game the way
the right way, y'all. Remember when I played give me
the ball on the block.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I want you to bang on me. I'm gonna spend
on you and gonna kill you every day, you know
what I mean. So you gotta get to that level.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Where Lebron has to learn, don't bang, bang bank, work
with him, get Randow out of the game. Because what's
the next person that's gonna come in that game on
Minnesota's bench that can handle me? Not too many people,
not too many people. So that's that's being coached and
being smart. That's why I say nowadays, IQ ain't in
(25:28):
this game nobility. It's athletic ability. This ain't no IQ game.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I'm gonna tell everybody, ain't too many guys in here
got IQ's like that.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You know what I'm saying. Lebron don't have to bang
the boy.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
If he hit me one time on my back spin,
only get a file, get him in file trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Then what's gonna happen? You donna suck. R You donna
suck And ain't nobody gonna come up.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That bench that don't handle Lebron who muscle and bullied him.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
But when you get a guy who's checked out and
he tire.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, but let's say again, sham, let's think about the
last player of the game.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
What Lebron did. He turned the ball over again?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
He can't Why can't they get the ball inbound? Because
we've seen reeve. We've seen so many times, guys, does
anybody know how to hard cut? Does anybody know how
to sell the back be But but let me tell
you this, Shanny, what about just putting your four on
on the run and just puss and then get off
the post all down that way.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Why you don't do that? Why you don't do that?
And then if they try to double me, what are
you gonna do. I'm gonna get all to the next post.
It up. I'm telling you once again, I I you
in this game.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Then if you want to get me the ball, I'm
gonna get the ball. Especially if we can go on
the back court, I'm gonna hold you off, push you off,
and you throw that ball out there, and I'm gonna
go get it.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I'm gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Don't try to make nothing per rooric passes that you see. Man,
He's news is not having IQ's like that. They don't
have IQ's like that.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Hold on.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
But both of y'all said the same thing, right, you
and you and Aunt got a friendly death. You say
Laker's gonna lose. Well, both of you came came to
came to the party, and both said, hell, the Lakers
might win, are gonna win Winndy.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
You said they're gonna win the game, say GP, So
if they could win the game Wednesday, if they could
win one, they could win two. But I don't think that.
But you're gonna assert, Chad, You're gonna assert lie the
you on home. There's a team that's in Minnesota that
plays well at home. They played well at home. I
get it.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You gonna exert all your time, but think about the
the really the odds of everything. Then came back from
a three to one series deficit and win as many
games as they win.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
They're not gonna win three in a row. I'm just
not gonna say that. I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
You don't want You don't lost two games in Minnesota,
you lost one game in home, and you lost the
first game chat home. So why what do you think now?
And what have Shanna see trying to say? They're getting
old lads of tide? They got two days off.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
What you gonna do? How you gonna work that out?
All right? Is your mindset that I'm gonna try to
win it? Chap? I'm gonna ask you.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Again, do you think they mindset is saying then we're
gonna come back and win three in a row.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
They not doing that.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
They're talking about going home, They talking about going to
They can't cool.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You know what I'm saying. And we have worked with it.
Next year, you feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
I'm just saying it's gonna be hard for the Lakers
to win three in a row against this young Hall
team that's shinning. Has just toach. People are coming off
the bench doing what they do. You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
They do what they do. Yeah, we're thinking about the NBA.
IBA don't want it to be like oh on the city.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Go folk blak. They trying to get TV TV uh yea, yeah, y'all, y'all,
y'all cut into the church's money.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah yeah, you know what I'm saying. Now, I ain't
gonna keep like this.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I'm just don'na do whatever. I'm gonna call them calls
that I had to call whatever, whatever, And you gotta
think about it. Don't chat who you think is motality?
What team you think it was motality? Chat Minnesota Lakers,
Minnesota Minnesotata. They're not gonna do that, man, and people
coming off the bench doing what they do. Chaney just
(29:30):
told you their bench is being more productive than electrics.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Bench. All go go be.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
The people that support had super shar casts. I think
Minisota got that. Yeah, I agree, dang, I agree. And
that's the thing. I mean, you you they were so close.
They had a ten point lead. I'm not so sure
what a ten point lead. I think I tried to give.
I think I tried to give Lebron uh two minutes
to start the fourth. We gotta lead, Well, Chad, I
(30:01):
say like this, like they with the Warriors, subby three minutes,
bring him in, subby mess seven, he got five minutes
on the clock.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Then be back in the fourth rider let old fourth forty.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You see what I'm saying. Yeah, that's how you gotta
do it. But I just don't think that chemistry is right.
When you got two guys on both sides I saw
in the basketball and you're watching them play basketball, that's
not a good deal for me. It's it's like what
we did when we played basketball. We put it in
the post and let our big man dominate. If you
(30:37):
don't get it, if he's gonna score every time, but
if you start scoring, we're gonna doublely. And what do
our big man do? Kick it and we could eat
to get our buckets and we rotate, rotating, make people rotate.
That ain't the game nowadays. Were just talking about shooting
threes one on one eye, so trying to do what
we do and it don't work if you don't have
that cast that's making them big time shots, which Minnesota
(31:01):
did today. Yes, say big tom shots and it don't work.
It won't work.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It just won't work.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
They definitely Laker's definitely got their work cutout for him.
They're gonna have to play, hopefully. I don't know if
you can get another twenty five point game out of
Ruin Hotchamore. Ruin was sensational today. This is by far
his best game in the playoffs, and he played extremely well.
I don't know if you're gonna be able to get
because he was five or ten, he was nine of sixteen,
played fifty forty one minutes, gave you twenty three points.
(31:32):
Lebron was twenty seven, twelve, eight, three three. Austin Reeves
he came in and he didn't play it. He was terrible,
got in foul trouble. He was terrible in the first
half seventeen seventeen, seven and four. I can live with that.
I like to having something spread out. But Julius Rendel
(31:52):
started up game off. He was extremely aggressive, and that's
what that's his game. He's an aggressive player. He's gonna
try to put the ball in the floor. He's gonna
put pressure, he's gonna attack the rim. Jay and Daniels
Jaydon McDaniels didn't start off strong, but down the scretch
he made all the hustle plays. He got the and one,
he made a big time three. Ant Man was ant Man,
but it was Nod's reading done, Devincenzo, Deevin Cceenzo getting
(32:15):
a rebound, knocking down a three, You getting nods read
knocking down two big threes, Deevin Chimpson getting an a one,
And I thought, I was like, you know what, because
Devin Chienzo got one and Lebron Skotted is like, oh
the old man still got some still got some juice
in the tank. Gpe. But it was I just think
the thing if Yeah, they were tired. But ant Man,
(32:38):
he said he's dreamed this whole He's dripped this whole
life of these moments. And you can tell twelve, twenty three,
five or ten from the three point line fourteen to seventeen,
nine rebounds six or cis and he only had one turnover. Well,
Chad and Shannon, he told you did something when he
was away. He was at all that when he started
(33:01):
shooting threes. Playing is Steph Kirby and he said, man,
I was in them games shooting them threes. What is
He came back and he said, I'm shoot more threes
this year. And look at his percentage come over the threes.
His confidence is way here. Where you give a player
like that that type of ability to do that and
become that type of player, put him on the Olympic team.
(33:22):
It ain't that type of ability to become a sup
verse star, a root superstar. And he make his shots
and he get confident. It's hard to typer basketball player
like that. And he has proven it. He has proven
it that he is the primary player to be that
NBA player we take over this league. And that's what
(33:43):
he's doing every day after them games and he's doing
his posting. All he doing is smile because he knows easy.
It's easy for him, his ease and that's what he's
doing and he's showing you that he can put this
team on his back. They thought when they got rid
of Cat a Cat, that it was gonna be all over. No,
(34:07):
that boy, it took this game to another level. And
then what he do and then is sixth day is
sixth seed being the third seed. That's what these teams is.
That's why I tell everybody stop talking about these seeds
and all that. But he's eighty two games.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
That is that is just crap to me. None of that.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
You gotta go play in these playoffs and get out.
And they showing the Lakers that I don't care what
seed you are, we.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Gonna go get at you. And they get that.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
The thing is is that when you look at it,
GP is that because he can shoot the three, you
gotta hug up on him. And now he can go
by you. You see what he's going by. He's gonna kick. Oh,
he's going all the way to the rim. And he
is like, okay, I have a playoff and hand down,
man down, Mark Jackson. And so now he's got that
three ball in his bag.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
He always had the ability to go around you and
finish over top of you. So how do I defend him?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
If I give him to if I give him too
much airspace, he gonna rides up and shoot.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
He gonna raise up and shoot the three.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
If I hug up on him to take away the three,
he gonna go buy me and finish on top of me.
So I mean you at his mercy and you say
thing with Steph Curry. Steph Curry used to be he
settled for the three. Now you see Steph putting the
ball on the floor and get to his float game
and go yeah. And then Shanny, you think about that.
When I was at the game last night, what Houston
(35:30):
trying to do to Steph Curry was doubling.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Every time I kept screaming, I said, get him off
the ball. Don't let him dumb it.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Let him come off the baseline and do like Reggie
Miller or Riff Hamilton and the add his mercy.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Student Houston fell apart.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
They fell him. What what did the Warriors do? He
had other people who made shots and the things that
they do. Because once and then what Curry did. He
started being one on one and then he started being kurt.
He liked the he liked the PlayStation, started cooking every
Brendon bag you see, it's PlayStation. And he started cooking,
(36:12):
and he started hitting shots. And then they start doing it,
and he started making the right pass, and then they
start finishing. They start saying, man, what can I do?
And when they start finishing, he started going one on
one and it ain't Nobody can guard nobody like that,
with no talent like that, one on one, No way,
(36:33):
no way. Jalen Green spoke about the exchange between him
and Draymond at the end of the game when Draymon
told Jalen Green go painting nails, Jayalen said, just talking.
He can't really do much anything else, so talking is
his only way. Hey, g bed don't hey then uh hi,
(36:53):
because now guy, I mean now they throw a tick
on you. You guys used to be at all each
other's face, spit fly every where. Now you sake one thing.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Yeah to me on the floor, you will you want,

Speaker 2 (37:41):
You know what I'm saying, stop it doing it and
he won't say it no more.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
It is.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
That's what I did. That's why I talk crack. I
could bag it up. If you say something to me,
I'm gonna give your fault. You know what I'm saying.

It's not being like you you billy band. You ain't
really bad man, because if we get your one on
one somewhere, man, we knuckle up.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Them dudes ain't gonna be like that.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
It ain't gonna be like that, man. So man, just
gone improve it on the floor, man, and gone about
your bisnis. You know what I'm saying. It is what
it is, you know, and it was legit everything. Like
if somebody saying, Man, I was with your white last night. Yeah,
I was with yours last night too. That's why I
wasn't on You feel what I'm saying. I ain't ready.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah, you was with her.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Don't you feel what I'm saying Because I was with lads.
You know why you thinking about me? You feel what
I'm saying. So I'm with it, man, I ain't on
that man all that.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, Man, I ain't with that. Boo woo woo.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Man, go on ahead and prove it on the basketball court, man.
And that's what I'm talking about. Prove it to how
hey you mad?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Ye'll get it? Go get you feel. So that's all
I gotta say about that.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Go get thunder sweep the Grizzlies. Sga had thirty eight
points and finally found his rhythm. In the first three games.
He was averaging twenty four points per game, but it
was taking in almost twenty three shots to get those.
He was shooting thirty five percent when he shot almost
(39:32):
fifty two percent from the floyd. In the regular season,
he had made only six of twenty four threes, shooting
twenty five percent. But in Game four, SGA was SGA
thirteen to twenty four, eleven of thirteen free throws. They
end up sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies, and you knew it
was over. They had a twenty seven point lead, Jock
goes up, comes down and hey, that lead dissipates. They
(39:57):
end up losing that game, so you know, the uh,
it was just a matter of time before they ended
up getting swept. So they passed the first test. You know,
they've been the best team in the Western Conference for
the entirety of the season to one. So what do
you think they're gonna play the winner of the Clippers
Nuggets series?
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Mm hmm, what you like? Can can anybody pose a
threat to him? I see, I just think they don't
have that next guy. You know, I think Shaye should
be the MVP this year. Could have won it last year.
I wouldn't have no problem with it. I think this
year he gets it. I don't see that the second guy.
(40:36):
I just have to see. I mean, we know I
do I do like I do like him, but I
need to see him put to the test. I didn't
see him put to the test where he had to
get thirty thirty five on a given night, right, So
so I see that. I just don't I don't trust
them against a veteran team. I just think you get
one of those the Clippers or Denver, whichever team you face,
(40:59):
those guys have been there before. They're gonna know how
to guard you. The respect levels are a little different.
They got the they got the toughness to go on
your building to get a win. Right, That's where they're
gonna be a little different. At It's actually not it's
actually kind of bad for them to see either one
of those teams because those teams are older teams and
the veteran teams that can give them trouble because they
(41:20):
because they know how to play in the playoffs. So
neither one of those teams are gonna be great matches
for them. But they are a great home team. And
by winning the by having the best record. I always
say this, it means something when you take care of
business in the season, because you get those most important
games on the floor, on your floor, you get that
five and seven, you get five and seven on your
(41:40):
home floor. That's why you take care of business during
the season. I'll never forget that. You always want to
have that home court advantage. So that's where they can be.
That's where they can have the advantagers because they play
so great in that building. But it's gonna be tough
for them. This is the next rounds is gonna be
tough form look for them be long series and can
anybody else step up and helped Shay out. We know
(42:01):
she's gonna have some moments where he gets thirty five body,
hell maybe even forty five. Who's gonna be that next
guy that steps up? And that's what that's gonna be
remaining to.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
Be seen, Hey twin So basically probably okay see, is similar,
similar to in the same situation based on who they play,
whether it be the Nuggets, whether it be the Clippers,
They're they're gonna be in a similar situation like the
Rockets right now with the Warriors.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
Yeah, it's just not saying that they're young. I mean
the okay see, guys have been together a while. I
just think and you guys love this. I just and
Shavy go back to what you did to start shure up.
When we start naming stars, you don't even ain't shake.
You didn't name nobody yourself. Okay, see that's a team
that won sixty games this year. Think about it. You
didn't name them. You didn't name two three guys off
(42:46):
of Okay. See, I just start thinking nothing wrong with that.
They have great, complimentary guys that got great role players.
I just don't see that next superstar, a guy that
can help you win a game. Who's gonna go win
the game? Besides shape, I want to see that. Let's
see the next guy step up, get thirty thirty five.
Let's see Shane have ten points, a bad night, foul trouble,
he gonna get it done. Who's gonna be the next
(43:08):
guy that steps up for them? So that remains to
be seen. That's that's that's where the test is gonna
come in at.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah. I Hey, look, I didn't think Memphis was gonna
do much.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
And when Scotti Pippen Junior was your best player on
the Memphis Grizzlies and he's I'm happy for him because
he seemingly found a home in Memphis, a home in Memphis,
and they're giving him opportunity to showcase his ability. But
I didn't really I didn't really expect much from from
Memphis in this series, even with job. Maybe they could
have got a game, maybe a game. Maybe maybe maybe
(43:41):
maybe a game. I think that that game they had
a twenty seven point lead. I think if Josh stays in,
they probably win that one. Maybe they get a game.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Maybe maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
All things be equal to get to But I mean,
you look at you, look at them, home and had eleven,
Jayalen Wiams had twenty three, Hartenstein had eleven twelve Shave
with Shade. Uh.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
But what they kill you is that you know they're
a great defensive team because they got Caruso.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
They got out there Joe, they got Wallace, they got
lou Dor, They got chat that can protect the rim
if somebody gets beat off the dribble. They got big.
They got two bigs. Uh, they do, and they don't
have a problem playing two bigs. But then when they
go small, they got guys that are that are scrapping.
They can defend. Everybody can defend at an extremely high level.
But I agree with you. I agree with you, But
(44:29):
the question is, man, you got you got to be
able to have Shave under control, because if you don't,
he end up shooting fifteen twenty the free throws on you.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
God, yeah, you have to go ahead, go aheadead go
ahead for him. No, I'm saying you have to beat him.
I do agree with you. You have to beat them.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
They're not gonna They're not gonna beat theirself. I think
with the young group, they got fresh legs, they play lively,
they play great at home, so they're gonna and they.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Got a guy.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
I mean, Shae is a guy.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
He's a guy that can get you thirty five four.
That's what you want in the playoffs. They got all
the ingredients to make a d I just worried when
you get into a series with better teams that's made
double team Shay and may force some other guys to
beat you. All those other guys ready to deliver at
the level that you need to think about some of
these teams. I mean, think about the Lakers. You know
(45:16):
they got two guys that can get it done. You
know when we talked about okay, see we just don't
wins is great. Don't get me wrong, It's gonna be.
He's a great young player, made the All Star Team.
This year, he's shown that he can be a twenty
twenty five point score. Hell, he'sai had some thirty point performances.
But if you got to get out another guy that
can go to I don't think as you get along
you start playing the better teams, they're not gonna let
(45:38):
Shade beat them. I just don't think that. I think
they're gonna double team. They're gonna make these other guys
have to beat them. If I was playing against them,
that's what I would do. But the okay, say did
the right thing. Everything gotta come through there. They have
four games on next floor, and I think that's what
they did a good job. But they played well there.
And you guys know this, and you guys who watched
enough basketball, the role guys play better at home. So
(46:01):
now you got those young guys or young guys on
the best planning home, they play a lot better. That's
what the advantage is for.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Ok See, Yeah, because they had five guys, even though
he go on the road, it was a close game.
They have five guys in double figures. Hongering had eleven,
Jalen Williams had twenty three, Hartenstein had eleven, uh Shay
had thirty eight and Isaiah Joe uh had eleven when
Wiggins had nine.
Speaker 4 (46:26):
But uh, and that's what the numbers chat. You hit
them other numbers kind of lowdo chat? You see you
got need you see the other numbers a little low.
Now somebody else will get playing man the TV you plan,
they played it met right, play one of them big dogs.
It's gonna be it's gonna be a little different.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
But you know what I like, But I like them
not to cut you off on your What I like
is that wigging that excuse me that Williams and Shade
take most of the shot because you look at it,
they took a combined forty five shots and then you
had Honger with the next more shot. At nine, you
had a guy took seven, one guy took four, one, one, five,
seven seven at eight. So your big dogs eating, uh,
(47:04):
you you got because you know sometimes you can the playoffs,
guys trying to make a name for themselves and ain't
all of a sudden you're supposed to be shooting self
eighty times, All of a sudden you shoot fourteen.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
Fifteenth that know, whoa whoa what you're doing? Coach? Did
you see that?
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Hey? You said, no, no, no, Ed Wiggins is down
is in Miami with you. You just said, that's that's
the thing. Yes, they got oh what they got another
Wagers on the team. Yeah, young, they got a young Wiggs. Okay, yeah, okay, okay,
y'all to back you super ball Yoh yeah. I like Wallace,
(47:42):
I like Isaiah Joe. But they all can defend. Look
at Caruso can defend. Lou Dork can defend, Isaiah Joe. Yeah,
find Carson Wallace can defend. Hey, Chad Honks defend. So
no matter even Shade was like top three and Steel,
So no matter who you have on the court, you
still have at least three.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Guys that can defend on the ball at all times.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
And then if Shave's in there, you got somebody that
can protect the can protect the paint, protect the rim.
Harden's tied in me. Look he can't protect the but
he he's a big body. He'll block the shot to
a shot here or there. I like the way to
make up, but like you said, we'll see the next round.
John didn't want to be seen on camera on the bench.
He saw the ball cast camera on him and put
his hand over his face. On.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
You good with this, nah, Man, I feel bad for
my guys.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Shannon.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
I remember, I remember you had me on when you
was back on with Fox and we were talking about him,
and we hasting a long discussion with him. Man, I
just wish he did. I mean, he's such a terrific talent. Man,
I just wish he locked in on playing basketball. You
know what I'm saying, and take what come with it.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
That's that's the good. That's the good covert you want.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
You want to see that you want your fanstest team,
you care about your team, and that you upset that
you're not playing. That's when you want the camera on.
So I just hope he gets it together. I got
a lot of respect for him. I want him to
be you know, I think he could be one of
the greatest players playing the game at the point guard
opposition when he's right healthy and can use you that
scratch of twenty twenty five games where he's just playing
basketball and not shooting the gun and not doing all
(49:10):
this crazy things. He's one of the best players in
the league. He is, But you know, we just don't
know if he's ever gonna figure it out. So I
get disappointed him a little bit on that because it's
I don't hope this talent doesn't go to waste, because
you know, out of silver, after a while, it's gonna
be you know, you gonna have to go see the
big dollar again. And he ain't gonna like what he
gonna do too.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Do you think he needs to be out of Memphis
in order for him to really blossom and fully develop.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
Yep? Right on down here in Miami, Yep, definitely.
Speaker 4 (49:39):
Chat he can't come to Miami. Pat raw I got him,
pat I got Aaron Sprumpson ain't playing.
Speaker 1 (49:45):
That, man.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
That's what That's what I mean. Sometime that's what you need.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
Sometimes need to go somewhere like this where you have
two old school type coaches start that approach the game
of basketball different.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
They got structured, they got disciplined.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
You right here, right now, and you try to go
all the way over here, you see all that space
in between, you gotta stop off.
Speaker 4 (50:04):
It's gonna be tough, man, That's gonna be tough. Do
I think he needs an another place, change the scenery.
I don't think he needs a change of scenery. I
think they have to really strategically make sure that they
keep the right guys around him, and you know how
sometimes you break up. You bring a veteran on the
team that maybe not gonna get a lot of minutes.
That can help you control that locker room, you know
(50:27):
how it is to help control from the out the
court activities.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
I think that's what they need to do.
Speaker 4 (50:32):
You know, sometimes it's good to pick up a guy
like that, maybe a guy that's not gonna do much,
you know what I mean, think about their boss and
self as a team.
Speaker 2 (50:38):
They put Al Horford, a nice veteran.
Speaker 4 (50:40):
On the team with them, who's build on their team
for the last three four years been great.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
There there a good locker room guy, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (50:47):
That's what you need. You need some locker room guys. Sometimes.
I think that I like them in Mephods because they've
been successful. They had to win to Sea's not like
that a bad team. They got some pieces there. He
doesn't have to be moved, but he's gonna have to
clean up some things. And I think he can use
another superstar I would like to see. I don't know
if they'll be able to Truman. Dad was supposed to
(51:08):
be a super superstar.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
Paid him like one.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
Yeah, I don't know if he kind of he kind
of took a couple of stuffs back this year, especially
in this series.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
Yeah, they was banged up this year, a lot off
and on.
Speaker 4 (51:27):
So I'm not gonna put too much on this season
and the coaching change and all that stuff they went through. Uh,
you know, you know that that fining the coach was
kind of weird to me. I know y'all covered that
a long time ago. Yeah, I think that played a
part too.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
You know, a couple of years ago, the job around
said I'm fining the West. I might have you worry
about Boston, but I'm fining the West. Zero playoff series
wins one head coach fine in two suspensions?
Speaker 2 (51:55):
Is he fined in the West? One? No, he' not
fining West.
Speaker 4 (52:01):
I would I made for us that love sports and
we love love to see guys make it and do great.
I would love to seemilar miny heat, where's structure, where
it's discipline, where basketball has to come first. I would
love to see him in that type of situation where
they can get some of that junk out of But
we don't know.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
I mean, Memphis has to make a major decision.
Speaker 4 (52:20):
On whether or not they want to continue to build
around him and kind of go through his antics, or
you make a move for him while he still has
a little value, because I think he still has some
value right now.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
So I think you can get something for him, and
maybe maybe it might be a mut no kelling, you guys,
mutual agreement. Hey, I try to hear. I need a
new surrounding. I want to try something different. Maybe you
can make a move in that sense, because they're two
totally different teams with the without it is so they
don't have to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
You totally different teams. I like it. I like it.
I like it. Hey, Mickey Harrison, I know you gonna
see this.
Speaker 3 (52:56):
Pat I need to go see this spoilster COLECTI boy,
my number is still the same. We can go get
y'all sometime sometime this summer. Oh listen, I put the
pieces in place. I may I make sure he's good
away from the court. You know, I got the right
kind of people.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
We don't play no game. We don't do none of that.
Speaker 3 (53:14):
Okay, it ain't gonna be no driving, ain't gonna be
no shoe, ain't gonna be throwing on no grade, no,
no grenades.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
Uh you wanna do that? You you gonna get him over.
You're gonna get him over. Hey, get him a drip?
Speaker 3 (53:23):
No, no, no, I gotta I gotta drive it for him.
I gotta drive it. Will get him everywhere he needs
to go. We won't even will turn. I've been in
Miami all my life. I don't even club I ain't
been in club live yet. I just went to Booby
Trap for the first time two weeks ago. Boy, I'm
fifty seventy years old, so I know if.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
I miss drop down here to Miami, I can. I
can keep him align. We got the same goal. I
want to see you succeed.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
The volume
One of the two most interesting games today, and this
is the game the chat's been begging us to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The Lakers loser close with that man older.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
They have a twelve point I mean a ten point
lead going into the fourth quarter, but ant Man went berserk.
He scored sixteen of his game high forty three points
as they outscored the Lakers thirty two to thirteen.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Lakers thirty two to nineteen. Excuse me.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The Lakers shot just five of eighteen in the fourth,
including three or nine in the last five minutes. Lebron legs,
I text Ash this and I text this early. I said,
it looks like JJ is gonna roll with these guys
the entire second half. I say, you talk about forty
six minutes for Lebron on forty year old legs, you
talk about Luca forty five and a half minutes, you're
(00:56):
talking about Rui and Doe in aar.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I say, that's a lot of weird terror.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I say, it's going to be very, very interesting if
this game come down to the last three, four to
five minutes. It's gonna be very interesting if the Lakers
can hold up. And you see Lebron took two shots
in the fourth quarter. He had zero points in the
fourth quarter. He's exhausted. I think it's the first time
in what twenty years that nobody subbed for the Lakers
in the second half of a ball game. Everybody that
(01:24):
started the game played twenty four minutes of a possible
twenty four minutes. And now I'm concerned because I don't
know how the Lakers play better. You got twenty three
points on nine of sixteen shooting from ruin five to ten,
twenty three points. You got Lebron twenty seven points of
fifteen to eighteen. From the free throw line, he had
twenty seven twelve eight three steel three blocks. Okay, you
(01:48):
got Luca played gave you thirty eight, seven to seven
from the pre throw line. He only had one rebound
to as sins. They turned him into a score. You
can live with that. I just don't want him to
get thirty eight and twelve and assists. Told him you
got ar he scored. He only scored seventeen, but he
got all of those in the second half. The bitch
gave us six points, and I think that was the
(02:10):
difference in the ball game, because their bitch gave you
twenty points. Nos Reed gave you twelve points, Devinceenzo gave
you eight points, and to kill Alexander Walker gave you
six five points. But it was ad Man and you
Randall that really was. And Jane Jane Daniels McDaniel's been
playing unbelievable. I don't know where this guy came from,
but he's been sensational in the postseason where ant Man
(02:32):
did what a superstar supposed to do, GP and take well. Shannon,
Shannon Daniels is as a teacher stopper.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
He plays like that, but he gives you more. I'm
gonna compare you Daniels to my son.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
They give you everything they have to do to win
basketball games, not just defense. When they start scoring and
they do special stuff, their team is gonna win. We're
gonna go back to that, Chad, listen what I'm saying.
Gonna go back and what what China?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You see?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Why do you think Minnesota won? First of all, the
Lakers can't play defense. They are I have no defense, said,
oh you feel me. That's just a bad thing. And
they kneel big to protect the rim once they get beaten.
They don't have that absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So now what happened was is that that man God
got busy. So let me tell you about this.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
What should you do about a guy who gets hot
double you get the ball out of his hand and
make somebody else be special. But whether you know or
that did, Minnesota got other people to come off the
bench and be special and make shots. See, that's that's
a difference. I was at my son's game them last
night and they were beating up Curry for a long time.
(03:46):
I kept saying, get him off the ball, stop having
him be on the ball so they can double him
every time.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And then they finally listened.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
They started getting him at the bottom and he started
coming off pits. But when they saw him doubling him
and all of a sudden, who started getting busy my son.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And other people and they beat them.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
You know what I'm saying, You will have to have
a cast to support you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's what the game is about. It ain't about.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Superstars down there when his playoffs come, it ain't about superstars.
It's about who's gonna support my superstar to get me
to win basketball games. And the teams who are winning
down aren't that guy a cast that supporting they're superstars?
So when they superstars get to start going. Reason why
(04:35):
it was got busy today because he was one on
one everybody, and ain't nobody gonna drop him one on one.
If you start doubling on him and doubling him and
everybody else and not making shocks, you're not gonna win games.
It's not gonna happen. So when you start doing that,
what's gonna do? And my superstar passing playing, passing the ball,
(04:55):
and my other supporters started at making buckets, then what
do what?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Coach? You're gonna start saying, Man, don't leave him, don't
leave him. We can't do it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
But when your superstar go one on one, it's hard
to guard a superstar one on one.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Ain't nobody's gonna guard nobody, stop nobody one on one?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Is it like with you, Chad and with you chatting?
And remember if they got single covers on y'all? I
mean y'all getting y'all that that that that.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Just like uh uh fish streets, y'all.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I mean like going out there and picking something or
I kill y'all every time I see y'all.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
One on one. I'm gonna get everything on y'all. So
y'all gotta get done.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You know who we're gonna go to that We're gonna
go to the other man and Wenna start killing them.
That's how the gang goes. And if you don't have
a supported past, it's not gonna work. It's not gonna
work in this league right now because these dudes are
too athletic and they they can get it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So that's more winning games.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Now because they're athletic and they and they and they
not make they make it shots and I'm superstars don't
have to work as hard as they do.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Erry, Yeah, hey uncle, when in GP, want to look
out the next game? Obviously, watching the Lakers play with
Luca having a good game and then doing what he did,
Lebron doing what he did earlier in the game, and
they had contributions from everybody else. Obviously the bench didn't
score and support the top the big dip. They're big
(06:24):
three as you should want to call it in a sense.
But the Wolves having twenty off the bench and then
having goddamn a man go crazy to night with forty three,
you know, nine and six.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know that's what.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
He's supposed to do, and unk you can't say or
have a reason. We know Lebron is forty. You know,
we understand that he's still playing the game, especially the
time like this. It ain't no time to come out.
It ain't you can't come out. You got to play
the whole game. But you have to contribute more in
that time, in crunch time in order for your team
to win. You got to tired legs, feeling good. It
(07:02):
don't matter that that's that's just what it is.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So we.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Chatting in.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
They don't do nothing anyway, They don't practice, they don't
do nothing that ain't tied. You know what I'm saying,
And what I tell y'all he is is channing. He
might be forty, but he's still doing what he do
in his league. When you do what you do in
this league and don't get no support and everybody keep focusing.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
On you and beating you down, you're gonna get tight.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes, you ain't got no support from nobody who making
shots to free me up?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Then that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Both of them gat thirty eight, twenty seven or whatever
they want to. But at the end, it ain't nobody
doing nothing but us too. All we gotta do is
focus on you too, and then what's gonna happen, you too,
ain't my other people ain't doing no cast.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You see the throwder off the bench and had support.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So when it got time for the crucial chib, you
can't go and double Edwards because I'm worried about these
dudes off the bench, worried about Junior Rand the worried
about Novs, Reed, McDaniels, I'm worried about and Reed made
a bit three at the in three minute two of them,
you right, and bumps at them. So now am I
(08:18):
worried about him? Yes, I'm worried about him. So I
can't go and say no, I ain't gonna try to
guard him because he's gonna make suns.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So that's freed up everybody. And with Lebron and Luca,
you can't say that it ain't gonna work like that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
We just go and double them and hope that when
when they go to this other player he gonna miss shots.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And what did the Lakers do? They shot?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Lebron had several points in the first In the fourth quarter,
Luca had one rebound to assist. It's his fewest rebounds
and assists ever in a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The bench.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Nav Reed had a Novs reed had twelve, Devincenzo had six.
Lakers excuse me, Evencenzo had eight and the Lakers had six.
And so it seems to me that they were like,
you know what, we're content, We're gonna make you will
let you score. But what we're not gonna do is
let you get thirty eight and eight assists, thirty eight
and ten assists because now the others are involved. And
(09:17):
so look and that played right into their hands. You see,
if you look at Man, what did that man have
to date? At Man had forty three and six and cists.
You see he got others involved, right if it see assists,
people like, well, why he didn't have no assists, Well
I would have I would have had a double digits
in the sist if God could have made shots. Luca
(09:37):
smoked two layups. Lebron smoked the layup, Auster Reeves smoked
the layup. When you playing a team like this, you
have to cash in on every opportunity, every opportunity, and
then chatty.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Sham, we let let let's make another case of this.
Look at the different game yesterday against the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You've seen the joke he was killing, right, They all
try to go and go at him on the last
second ninety nine, ninety nine, he go and take a
fade away three.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
They worried about him. Everybody worried about him, and then
the air bawl. And who makes the who make the
final dunk to win the game. Aaron Gordon. Okay, So
that's why I'm trying to tell y'all, y'all joke. You
we gotta understand that other role.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Players gotta be that type of guy man with this,
with this different stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And he wind up with what thirty something twenty some
rebounds to eight or nine fist men two.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, he had like thirty six, thirty six, twenty one
and eight. Yeah, And that's what is all about.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Your role players have to be with you in this
day of era, in this basketball game to win basketball game.
And he ain't just that out. Check GP check this
that out. Nov reed In the fourth courter of this series,
has twenty six points. He's nine of ten from the
field goal and field goal, he's six or six from
three clutch. The last five minutes of the ball game,
(11:02):
O Joe, the game was this within five points. That's
what they can fill the clutch time, he's six or
six from the three a clutch situation.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
He's not a pin for the floor with twenty six points.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I mean, you talk about Jordan, you talking about Kobe whomever,
they've never been like this. You talk about the guy
that biss one shot, he's perfect from the three. And
that's what we're talking about, Ojoe here. Man, these separate
dudes you have to have on your team. You remember,
you remember the Lakers had Robert Horry who did his
(11:38):
thing a day.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
When you have a big shot at the big shot,
ball shot, at the big shot, at the big shot,
you want a guy. And I tell people, as I
coach now and junior college, I said, you want to
be on the floor with six minutes. You're the closer.
You're the closer. I want you to make big shots
for with him. And read what was he last year?
(12:01):
Sixth Man of the Year.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yep, you feel what I'm saying. He coming in and
making these big time shots.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And that's what you want from the does and that's
why you're gonna win championships. That's only way you're gonna
win championships in this NBA.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Okay, well, listen, now that we got we got all
that good stuff out the way, let's talk about the
meat and potatoes of this series and what's going on
right now. The Lakers are down three one uh and
and GP, GP, you can probably attest to this and
have a better answer. But I'm sure Unk you probably
knew as well, being as your knowledge and and and
and and the acumen of the game of basketball is good.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do you see any scenario at all, any type of
magical going seven? The GP? I see GP take shaking
his head. They going seven? Oh well wait, wait, wait, wait,
So you still feel there's a possibility that the Lakers
going back down? Stop it me and you can better
dinner on miss. Run it I, run it, run it
(12:58):
anywhere you want to go. Man, Oh yeah, I'm with that.
No way, that's it. It don't beat them three in
a row. Ain't no way seven games?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
No not.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Guess what we got that The problem that, the problem
that JJ ran into.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Is that Lebron had just played thirty eight forty minutes
a night ago, and then you follow that up. Now,
the best thing about this they don't play again until Wednesday,
so Lebron get an extra day lucul get an extra day.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
We got this. We're gonna go back to Minnesota. We're
gonna get that.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
So are we are we saying the fact that that
they're losing is because they're no. No, no, I'm saying no, no, no, no,
good team. But I'm saying, oh, Joe, when you play,
just imagine how your legs feel.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Just imagine if you had to play a football game
on Monday and then you got to play another one

Speaker 1 (17:44):

likelihood to be getting that double ain't happening either. Now,

plus that fifteen percent.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Oh fifty nine, It went to fifty fifty nine. Yep
A in this economy. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I need if I'm play in this account of me.
Lebron said, Tyn Leggs was not the cause of the missus.
JJ Ready became the first coach to play five players
for an entire half in the playoffs. JJ said on
this started playing the entire second half. It wasn't playing,
but we just made the decision at halftime. Magic Johnson
questioned the strategy. I'm just sick to my stomach that
(18:23):
the Lakers lost this game after being controlled most of
the second half. I don't know if it's smart to
play Lebron and Luca the entire second half after only
having one day rest between game.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Three and four.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
We needed Lebron to take over the fourth quarter and
he couldn't. He scored zero points in the fourth. I agree,
I agree the reps missed the trip Luca got tripped.
I mean that was a blatant trip. He doesn't follow
us on.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
We watched it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
He gets tripped, so we should have been at the
free throw line. Yes, Luca missed the smoking the layup
that would have put him up seven. They come down
here to three. So now all of a sudden been
up seven, you're only up to too. You see, you
(19:09):
see how momentum swing. Lebron missed the layup. H had
uh become out of time out, had a great curl
set smoked that layup.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Ar smoked the layup. It's just a look I think
it was.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Lebron Is said like he don't want to make excuses,
but gp when you asked that man, the dude, the
man had he let He had more the most rebounds
of anybody that touched the court today. He had the
most assist of anybody to touch the court today. He
had the most block shots, He had the most stealed. Well, no,
Deevin Chenzo had the most healed. But you talk about
a forty year old then letting rebounds, leading block shots,
(19:46):
letting assist. You're asking a for Think about what you're
asking a forty year old, a forty year old, what
you're asking him to do.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And shout it.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
A'm comment on that we we we own a free
of a nature job to do. I get it what
you're saying about we asked you. He's different. He's a
lot different. I don't agree with him not getting no
rest in the second half. I think you resting for
two or three or four minutes. He's quarter resting for
like two or three minutes and bringing back and do
(20:18):
the same thing. But what I do with JJ, I'm
gonna go to JJ Reddi's defense. He was saying, I
can't lose this game. I'm gonna go with my player
who I think gonna give me something. You know what
I'm saying. He shouldn't have did that, you know, and
timeouts don't cut it. Sometime it don't work. I would
have gave him three to four minutes for five minutes
(20:41):
every quarter. I would have did five minutes and then
still control it. I get what Magic is saying. You
know what I'm saying, to give.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Him his legs.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I would have gave him third quarter. I would have
set he five six minutes and.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Then played in the whole fourth war.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You know what I'm saying, That's what I would have did.
It was it was a bad decision on his behalf.
But I think of what JJ is thinking. As the
first year, he needed go get this game. I gotta
get this and it didn't work out for him. Now
what he's gonna go back, He's gonna read evaluate everything.
He's gonna give him rests because they need this win
(21:18):
in LA on Wednesday, and I think they gonna get
the win on LA. They're gonna get. But I'm just saying, oh, so,
should he should have evaluated that a little bit different.
I don't think it's legs and all that. I think
he got tired and they went away from everything that
they did to me. You go, put Lebron on the block,
(21:42):
See if they're gonna double me. Let him guard one
on one and go at Yeah. And if you watch
the game, it's that too high watched Luca watch.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Lebron, our focus on all of y'all.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Put him on the block, let him come down there
and double You know what I'm saying and do things
like that, but they don't play that way.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Y'all know, Shan Chad, this game made like us.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
If I see you and Chad on a divantagement on one,
y'all play every day.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I'm gonna here until until they stop it. You stop
it until they stop it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
And with me, when Lebron being six eight to six,
I'm gonna put you on the block.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I'm not gonna put you up top where everybody get
focused in on you and we can stuck in. Put
you on the block, and if you gotta come dun
with me, let me kick it to somebody hit a jumper.
Then you gonna start being a releventda what? And they
didn't play that game. I knew Lebron was gonna play
a ton of minutes today because he normally takes his
break at about six minutes six thirty. He didn't take
(22:47):
his break today until about four minutes. He got two
minutes and then he was right back in the game
and he didn't come out again. So I knew it
was gonna be one of those. In our texted ash
and said, as first of all, I knew that we're
in trouble. GP Lebron is going off, Luca is going off,
and they got a four point lead. Let that thinkin
now all my artillery and I only got a four
(23:09):
point lead, and these guys are going haywhy in the
first half. So that's not good because normally when guys
going off, that's a ten, that's a twelve, fourteen point lead.
You got both of your big guns in Minnesota's right there,
so they gotta feel good.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
And as a matter of fact, they had a three
point lead at the half.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
They're like, hold on, Lebron had twenty two, Luca got
twenty one. That's forty three right there, and we still
got the lead.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
We good.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
It's the same thing with the Lakers when they lost
to the Nuggets, when Lebron went crazy in the first half,
he had like thirty thirty two points GP. You remember
that game, yep, in the first half. They're like, oh,
he done, he's a finish wade bluing load.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
We got this. He ended up he had thirty two
at the half.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
He ended up having forty for the game because he
exerted so much and it wasn't enough to get the
separation that he needed. Luke and Lebron exerted so much Lebron.
I think Lebron had five points in the third quarter,
none in the fourth quarter. But they did a great
job of taxing him. And because I think a lot
of this GP because Lebron is so tired. They like
he's not even a threat when he on the block,
(24:18):
because that's normally Julius random, Julius Radda takes a lot
out of you because he's a big body guy. He
wants to bang on you. He's gonna bang you when
you playing defense on him. He's gonna bang on you
when you're playing defense on him. He's gonna bang on you.
For it's just bang, bang bang. And after a while
that takes that, that zaps the legs.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
But then, let me tell you this, even doing that,
why do I get even found trump? Let he bang
bang me. Now I go addy spin on him. Do
the things you do.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
But doesn't mean you gotta work the game the way
the right way, y'all. Remember when I played give me
the ball on the block.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I want you to bang on me. I'm gonna spend
on you and gonna kill you every day, you know
what I mean. So you gotta get to that level.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Where Lebron has to learn, don't bang, bang bank, work
with him, get Randow out of the game. Because what's
the next person that's gonna come in that game on
Minnesota's bench that can handle me? Not too many people,
not too many people. So that's that's being coached and
being smart. That's why I say nowadays, IQ ain't in
(25:28):
this game nobility. It's athletic ability. This ain't no IQ game.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I'm gonna tell everybody, ain't too many guys in here
got IQ's like that.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You know what I'm saying. Lebron don't have to bang
the boy.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
If he hit me one time on my back spin,
only get a file, get him in file trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Then what's gonna happen? You donna suck. R You donna
suck And ain't nobody gonna come up.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That bench that don't handle Lebron who muscle and bullied him.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
But when you get a guy who's checked out and
he tire.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, but let's say again, sham, let's think about the
last player of the game.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
What Lebron did. He turned the ball over again?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
He can't Why can't they get the ball inbound? Because
we've seen reeve. We've seen so many times, guys, does
anybody know how to hard cut? Does anybody know how
to sell the back be But but let me tell
you this, Shanny, what about just putting your four on
on the run and just puss and then get off
the post all down that way.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Why you don't do that? Why you don't do that?
And then if they try to double me, what are
you gonna do. I'm gonna get all to the next post.
It up. I'm telling you once again, I I you
in this game.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Then if you want to get me the ball, I'm
gonna get the ball. Especially if we can go on
the back court, I'm gonna hold you off, push you off,
and you throw that ball out there, and I'm gonna
go get it.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I'm gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Don't try to make nothing per rooric passes that you see. Man,
He's news is not having IQ's like that. They don't
have IQ's like that.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Hold on.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
But both of y'all said the same thing, right, you
and you and Aunt got a friendly death. You say
Laker's gonna lose. Well, both of you came came to
came to the party, and both said, hell, the Lakers
might win, are gonna win Winndy.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
You said they're gonna win the game, say GP, So
if they could win the game Wednesday, if they could
win one, they could win two. But I don't think that.
But you're gonna assert, Chad, You're gonna assert lie the
you on home. There's a team that's in Minnesota that
plays well at home. They played well at home. I
get it.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You gonna exert all your time, but think about the
the really the odds of everything. Then came back from
a three to one series deficit and win as many
games as they win.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
They're not gonna win three in a row. I'm just
not gonna say that. I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
You don't want You don't lost two games in Minnesota,
you lost one game in home, and you lost the
first game chat home. So why what do you think now?
And what have Shanna see trying to say? They're getting
old lads of tide? They got two days off.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
What you gonna do? How you gonna work that out?
All right? Is your mindset that I'm gonna try to
win it? Chap? I'm gonna ask you.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Again, do you think they mindset is saying then we're
gonna come back and win three in a row.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
They not doing that.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
They're talking about going home, They talking about going to
They can't cool.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You know what I'm saying. And we have worked with it.
Next year, you feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
I'm just saying it's gonna be hard for the Lakers
to win three in a row against this young Hall
team that's shinning. Has just toach. People are coming off
the bench doing what they do. You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
They do what they do. Yeah, we're thinking about the NBA.
IBA don't want it to be like oh on the city.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Go folk blak. They trying to get TV TV uh yea, yeah, y'all, y'all,
y'all cut into the church's money.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah yeah, you know what I'm saying. Now, I ain't
gonna keep like this.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I'm just don'na do whatever. I'm gonna call them calls
that I had to call whatever, whatever, And you gotta
think about it. Don't chat who you think is motality?
What team you think it was motality? Chat Minnesota Lakers,
Minnesota Minnesotata. They're not gonna do that, man, and people
coming off the bench doing what they do. Chaney just
(29:30):
told you their bench is being more productive than electrics.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Bench. All go go be.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
The people that support had super shar casts. I think
Minisota got that. Yeah, I agree, dang, I agree. And
that's the thing. I mean, you you they were so close.
They had a ten point lead. I'm not so sure
what a ten point lead. I think I tried to give.
I think I tried to give Lebron uh two minutes
to start the fourth. We gotta lead, Well, Chad, I
(30:01):
say like this, like they with the Warriors, subby three minutes,
bring him in, subby mess seven, he got five minutes
on the clock.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Then be back in the fourth rider let old fourth forty.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You see what I'm saying. Yeah, that's how you gotta
do it. But I just don't think that chemistry is right.
When you got two guys on both sides I saw
in the basketball and you're watching them play basketball, that's
not a good deal for me. It's it's like what
we did when we played basketball. We put it in
the post and let our big man dominate. If you
(30:37):
don't get it, if he's gonna score every time, but
if you start scoring, we're gonna doublely. And what do
our big man do? Kick it and we could eat
to get our buckets and we rotate, rotating, make people rotate.
That ain't the game nowadays. Were just talking about shooting
threes one on one eye, so trying to do what
we do and it don't work if you don't have
that cast that's making them big time shots, which Minnesota
(31:01):
did today. Yes, say big tom shots and it don't work.
It won't work.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It just won't work.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
They definitely Laker's definitely got their work cutout for him.
They're gonna have to play, hopefully. I don't know if
you can get another twenty five point game out of
Ruin Hotchamore. Ruin was sensational today. This is by far
his best game in the playoffs, and he played extremely well.
I don't know if you're gonna be able to get
because he was five or ten, he was nine of sixteen,
played fifty forty one minutes, gave you twenty three points.
(31:32):
Lebron was twenty seven, twelve, eight, three three. Austin Reeves
he came in and he didn't play it. He was terrible,
got in foul trouble. He was terrible in the first
half seventeen seventeen, seven and four. I can live with that.
I like to having something spread out. But Julius Rendel
(31:52):
started up game off. He was extremely aggressive, and that's
what that's his game. He's an aggressive player. He's gonna
try to put the ball in the floor. He's gonna
put pressure, he's gonna attack the rim. Jay and Daniels
Jaydon McDaniels didn't start off strong, but down the scretch
he made all the hustle plays. He got the and one,
he made a big time three. Ant Man was ant Man,
but it was Nod's reading done, Devincenzo, Deevin Cceenzo getting
(32:15):
a rebound, knocking down a three, You getting nods read
knocking down two big threes, Deevin Chimpson getting an a one,
And I thought, I was like, you know what, because
Devin Chienzo got one and Lebron Skotted is like, oh
the old man still got some still got some juice
in the tank. Gpe. But it was I just think
the thing if Yeah, they were tired. But ant Man,
(32:38):
he said he's dreamed this whole He's dripped this whole
life of these moments. And you can tell twelve, twenty three,
five or ten from the three point line fourteen to seventeen,
nine rebounds six or cis and he only had one turnover. Well,
Chad and Shannon, he told you did something when he
was away. He was at all that when he started
(33:01):
shooting threes. Playing is Steph Kirby and he said, man,
I was in them games shooting them threes. What is
He came back and he said, I'm shoot more threes
this year. And look at his percentage come over the threes.
His confidence is way here. Where you give a player
like that that type of ability to do that and
become that type of player, put him on the Olympic team.
(33:22):
It ain't that type of ability to become a sup
verse star, a root superstar. And he make his shots
and he get confident. It's hard to typer basketball player
like that. And he has proven it. He has proven
it that he is the primary player to be that
NBA player we take over this league. And that's what
(33:43):
he's doing every day after them games and he's doing
his posting. All he doing is smile because he knows easy.
It's easy for him, his ease and that's what he's
doing and he's showing you that he can put this
team on his back. They thought when they got rid
of Cat a Cat, that it was gonna be all over. No,
(34:07):
that boy, it took this game to another level. And
then what he do and then is sixth day is
sixth seed being the third seed. That's what these teams is.
That's why I tell everybody stop talking about these seeds
and all that. But he's eighty two games.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
That is that is just crap to me. None of that.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
You gotta go play in these playoffs and get out.
And they showing the Lakers that I don't care what
seed you are, we.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Gonna go get at you. And they get that.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
The thing is is that when you look at it,
GP is that because he can shoot the three, you
gotta hug up on him. And now he can go
by you. You see what he's going by. He's gonna kick. Oh,
he's going all the way to the rim. And he
is like, okay, I have a playoff and hand down,
man down, Mark Jackson. And so now he's got that
three ball in his bag.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
He always had the ability to go around you and
finish over top of you. So how do I defend him?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
If I give him to if I give him too
much airspace, he gonna rides up and shoot.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
He gonna raise up and shoot the three.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
If I hug up on him to take away the three,
he gonna go buy me and finish on top of me.
So I mean you at his mercy and you say
thing with Steph Curry. Steph Curry used to be he
settled for the three. Now you see Steph putting the
ball on the floor and get to his float game
and go yeah. And then Shanny, you think about that.
When I was at the game last night, what Houston
(35:30):
trying to do to Steph Curry was doubling.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Every time I kept screaming, I said, get him off
the ball. Don't let him dumb it.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Let him come off the baseline and do like Reggie
Miller or Riff Hamilton and the add his mercy.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Student Houston fell apart.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
They fell him. What what did the Warriors do? He
had other people who made shots and the things that
they do. Because once and then what Curry did. He
started being one on one and then he started being kurt.
He liked the he liked the PlayStation, started cooking every
Brendon bag you see, it's PlayStation. And he started cooking,
(36:12):
and he started hitting shots. And then they start doing it,
and he started making the right pass, and then they
start finishing. They start saying, man, what can I do?
And when they start finishing, he started going one on

Speaker 2 (38:55):

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Man, go on ahead and prove it on the basketball court, man.
And that's what I'm talking about. Prove it to how
hey you mad?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Ye'll get it? Go get you feel. So that's all
I gotta say about that.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Go get thunder sweep the Grizzlies. Sga had thirty eight
points and finally found his rhythm. In the first three games.
He was averaging twenty four points per game, but it
was taking in almost twenty three shots to get those.
He was shooting thirty five percent when he shot almost
(39:32):
fifty two percent from the floyd. In the regular season,
he had made only six of twenty four threes, shooting
twenty five percent. But in Game four, SGA was SGA
thirteen to twenty four, eleven of thirteen free throws. They
end up sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies, and you knew it
was over. They had a twenty seven point lead, Jock
goes up, comes down and hey, that lead dissipates. They
(39:57):
end up losing that game, so you know, the uh,
it was just a matter of time before they ended
up getting swept. So they passed the first test. You know,
they've been the best team in the Western Conference for
the entirety of the season to one. So what do
you think they're gonna play the winner of the Clippers
Nuggets series?
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Mm hmm, what you like? Can can anybody pose a
threat to him? I see, I just think they don't
have that next guy. You know, I think Shaye should
be the MVP this year. Could have won it last year.
I wouldn't have no problem with it. I think this
year he gets it. I don't see that the second guy.
(40:36):
I just have to see. I mean, we know I
do I do like I do like him, but I
need to see him put to the test. I didn't
see him put to the test where he had to
get thirty thirty five on a given night, right, So
so I see that. I just don't I don't trust
them against a veteran team. I just think you get
one of those the Clippers or Denver, whichever team you face,
(40:59):
those guys have been there before. They're gonna know how
to guard you. The respect levels are a little different.
They got the they got the toughness to go on
your building to get a win. Right, That's where they're
gonna be a little different. At It's actually not it's
actually kind of bad for them to see either one
of those teams because those teams are older teams and
the veteran teams that can give them trouble because they
(41:20):
because they know how to play in the playoffs. So
neither one of those teams are gonna be great matches
for them. But they are a great home team. And
by winning the by having the best record. I always
say this, it means something when you take care of
business in the season, because you get those most important
games on the floor, on your floor, you get that
five and seven, you get five and seven on your
(41:40):
home floor. That's why you take care of business during
the season. I'll never forget that. You always want to
have that home court advantage. So that's where they can be.
That's where they can have the advantagers because they play
so great in that building. But it's gonna be tough
for them. This is the next rounds is gonna be
tough form look for them be long series and can
anybody else step up and helped Shay out. We know
(42:01):
she's gonna have some moments where he gets thirty five body,
hell maybe even forty five. Who's gonna be that next
guy that steps up? And that's what that's gonna be
remaining to.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
Be seen, Hey twin So basically probably okay see, is similar,
similar to in the same situation based on who they play,
whether it be the Nuggets, whether it be the Clippers,
They're they're gonna be in a similar situation like the
Rockets right now with the Warriors.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
Yeah, it's just not saying that they're young. I mean
the okay see, guys have been together a while. I
just think and you guys love this. I just and
Shavy go back to what you did to start shure up.
When we start naming stars, you don't even ain't shake.
You didn't name nobody yourself. Okay, see that's a team
that won sixty games this year. Think about it. You
didn't name them. You didn't name two three guys off
(42:46):
of Okay. See, I just start thinking nothing wrong with that.
They have great, complimentary guys that got great role players.
I just don't see that next superstar, a guy that
can help you win a game. Who's gonna go win
the game? Besides shape, I want to see that. Let's
see the next guy step up, get thirty thirty five.
Let's see Shane have ten points, a bad night, foul trouble,
he gonna get it done. Who's gonna be the next
(43:08):
guy that steps up for them? So that remains to
be seen. That's that's that's where the test is gonna
come in at.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah. I Hey, look, I didn't think Memphis was gonna
do much.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
And when Scotti Pippen Junior was your best player on
the Memphis Grizzlies and he's I'm happy for him because
he seemingly found a home in Memphis, a home in Memphis,
and they're giving him opportunity to showcase his ability. But
I didn't really I didn't really expect much from from
Memphis in this series, even with job. Maybe they could
have got a game, maybe a game. Maybe maybe maybe
(43:41):
maybe a game. I think that that game they had
a twenty seven point lead. I think if Josh stays in,
they probably win that one. Maybe they get a game.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Maybe maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
All things be equal to get to But I mean,
you look at you, look at them, home and had eleven,
Jayalen Wiams had twenty three, Hartenstein had eleven twelve Shave
with Shade. Uh.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
But what they kill you is that you know they're
a great defensive team because they got Caruso.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
They got out there Joe, they got Wallace, they got
lou Dor, They got chat that can protect the rim
if somebody gets beat off the dribble. They got big.
They got two bigs. Uh, they do, and they don't
have a problem playing two bigs. But then when they
go small, they got guys that are that are scrapping.
They can defend. Everybody can defend at an extremely high level.
But I agree with you. I agree with you, But
(44:29):
the question is, man, you got you got to be
able to have Shave under control, because if you don't,
he end up shooting fifteen twenty the free throws on you.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
God, yeah, you have to go ahead, go aheadead go
ahead for him. No, I'm saying you have to beat him.
I do agree with you. You have to beat them.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
They're not gonna They're not gonna beat theirself. I think
with the young group, they got fresh legs, they play lively,
they play great at home, so they're gonna and they.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Got a guy.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
I mean, Shae is a guy.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
He's a guy that can get you thirty five four.
That's what you want in the playoffs. They got all
the ingredients to make a d I just worried when
you get into a series with better teams that's made
double team Shay and may force some other guys to
beat you. All those other guys ready to deliver at
the level that you need to think about some of
these teams. I mean, think about the Lakers. You know
(45:16):
they got two guys that can get it done. You
know when we talked about okay, see we just don't
wins is great. Don't get me wrong, It's gonna be.
He's a great young player, made the All Star Team.
This year, he's shown that he can be a twenty
twenty five point score. Hell, he'sai had some thirty point performances.
But if you got to get out another guy that
can go to I don't think as you get along
you start playing the better teams, they're not gonna let
(45:38):
Shade beat them. I just don't think that. I think
they're gonna double team. They're gonna make these other guys
have to beat them. If I was playing against them,
that's what I would do. But the okay, say did
the right thing. Everything gotta come through there. They have
four games on next floor, and I think that's what
they did a good job. But they played well there.
And you guys know this, and you guys who watched
enough basketball, the role guys play better at home. So
(46:01):
now you got those young guys or young guys on
the best planning home, they play a lot better. That's
what the advantage is for.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Ok See, Yeah, because they had five guys, even though
he go on the road, it was a close game.
They have five guys in double figures. Hongering had eleven,
Jalen Williams had twenty three, Hartenstein had eleven, uh Shay
had thirty eight and Isaiah Joe uh had eleven when
Wiggins had nine.
Speaker 4 (46:26):
But uh, and that's what the numbers chat. You hit
them other numbers kind of lowdo chat? You see you
got need you see the other numbers a little low.
Now somebody else will get playing man the TV you plan,
they played it met right, play one of them big dogs.
It's gonna be it's gonna be a little different.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
But you know what I like, But I like them
not to cut you off on your What I like
is that wigging that excuse me that Williams and Shade
take most of the shot because you look at it,
they took a combined forty five shots and then you
had Honger with the next more shot. At nine, you
had a guy took seven, one guy took four, one, one, five,
seven seven at eight. So your big dogs eating, uh,
(47:04):
you you got because you know sometimes you can the playoffs,
guys trying to make a name for themselves and ain't
all of a sudden you're supposed to be shooting self
eighty times, All of a sudden you shoot fourteen.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
Fifteenth that know, whoa whoa what you're doing? Coach? Did
you see that?
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Hey? You said, no, no, no, Ed Wiggins is down
is in Miami with you. You just said, that's that's
the thing. Yes, they got oh what they got another
Wagers on the team. Yeah, young, they got a young Wiggs. Okay, yeah, okay, okay,
y'all to back you super ball Yoh yeah. I like Wallace,
(47:42):
I like Isaiah Joe. But they all can defend. Look
at Caruso can defend. Lou Dork can defend, Isaiah Joe. Yeah,
find Carson Wallace can defend. Hey, Chad Honks defend. So
no matter even Shade was like top three and Steel,
So no matter who you have on the court, you
still have at least three.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Guys that can defend on the ball at all times.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
And then if Shave's in there, you got somebody that
can protect the can protect the paint, protect the rim.
Harden's tied in me. Look he can't protect the but
he he's a big body. He'll block the shot to
a shot here or there. I like the way to
make up, but like you said, we'll see the next round.
John didn't want to be seen on camera on the bench.
He saw the ball cast camera on him and put
his hand over his face. On.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
You good with this, nah, Man, I feel bad for
my guys.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Shannon.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
I remember, I remember you had me on when you
was back on with Fox and we were talking about him,
and we hasting a long discussion with him. Man, I
just wish he did. I mean, he's such a terrific talent. Man,
I just wish he locked in on playing basketball. You
know what I'm saying, and take what come with it.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
That's that's the good. That's the good covert you want.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
You want to see that you want your fanstest team,
you care about your team, and that you upset that
you're not playing. That's when you want the camera on.
So I just hope he gets it together. I got
a lot of respect for him. I want him to
be you know, I think he could be one of
the greatest players playing the game at the point guard
opposition when he's right healthy and can use you that
scratch of twenty twenty five games where he's just playing
basketball and not shooting the gun and not doing all
(49:10):
this crazy things. He's one of the best players in
the league. He is, But you know, we just don't
know if he's ever gonna figure it out. So I
get disappointed him a little bit on that because it's
I don't hope this talent doesn't go to waste, because
you know, out of silver, after a while, it's gonna
be you know, you gonna have to go see the
big dollar again. And he ain't gonna like what he
gonna do too.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Do you think he needs to be out of Memphis
in order for him to really blossom and fully develop.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
Yep? Right on down here in Miami, Yep, definitely.
Speaker 4 (49:39):
Chat he can't come to Miami. Pat raw I got him,
pat I got Aaron Sprumpson ain't playing.
Speaker 1 (49:45):
That, man.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
That's what That's what I mean. Sometime that's what you need.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
Sometimes need to go somewhere like this where you have
two old school type coaches start that approach the game
of basketball different.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
They got structured, they got disciplined.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
You right here, right now, and you try to go
all the way over here, you see all that space
in between, you gotta stop off.
Speaker 4 (50:04):
It's gonna be tough, man, That's gonna be tough. Do
I think he needs an another place, change the scenery.
I don't think he needs a change of scenery. I
think they have to really strategically make sure that they
keep the right guys around him, and you know how
sometimes you break up. You bring a veteran on the
team that maybe not gonna get a lot of minutes.
That can help you control that locker room, you know
(50:27):
how it is to help control from the out the
court activities.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
I think that's what they need to do.
Speaker 4 (50:32):
You know, sometimes it's good to pick up a guy
like that, maybe a guy that's not gonna do much,
you know what I mean, think about their boss and
self as a team.
Speaker 2 (50:38):
They put Al Horford, a nice veteran.
Speaker 4 (50:40):
On the team with them, who's build on their team
for the last three four years been great.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
There there a good locker room guy, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (50:47):
That's what you need. You need some locker room guys. Sometimes.
I think that I like them in Mephods because they've
been successful. They had to win to Sea's not like
that a bad team. They got some pieces there. He
doesn't have to be moved, but he's gonna have to
clean up some things. And I think he can use
another superstar I would like to see. I don't know
if they'll be able to Truman. Dad was supposed to
(51:08):
be a super superstar.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
Paid him like one.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
Yeah, I don't know if he kind of he kind
of took a couple of stuffs back this year, especially
in this series.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
Yeah, they was banged up this year, a lot off
and on.
Speaker 4 (51:27):
So I'm not gonna put too much on this season
and the coaching change and all that stuff they went through. Uh,
you know, you know that that fining the coach was
kind of weird to me. I know y'all covered that
a long time ago. Yeah, I think that played a
part too.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
You know, a couple of years ago, the job around
said I'm fining the West. I might have you worry
about Boston, but I'm fining the West. Zero playoff series
wins one head coach fine in two suspensions?
Speaker 2 (51:55):
Is he fined in the West? One? No, he' not
fining West.
Speaker 4 (52:01):
I would I made for us that love sports and
we love love to see guys make it and do great.
I would love to seemilar miny heat, where's structure, where
it's discipline, where basketball has to come first. I would
love to see him in that type of situation where
they can get some of that junk out of But
we don't know.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
I mean, Memphis has to make a major decision.
Speaker 4 (52:20):
On whether or not they want to continue to build
around him and kind of go through his antics, or
you make a move for him while he still has
a little value, because I think he still has some
value right now.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
So I think you can get something for him, and
maybe maybe it might be a mut no kelling, you guys,
mutual agreement. Hey, I try to hear. I need a
new surrounding. I want to try something different. Maybe you
can make a move in that sense, because they're two
totally different teams with the without it is so they
don't have to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
You totally different teams. I like it. I like it.
I like it. Hey, Mickey Harrison, I know you gonna
see this.
Speaker 3 (52:56):
Pat I need to go see this spoilster COLECTI boy,
my number is still the same. We can go get
y'all sometime sometime this summer. Oh listen, I put the
pieces in place. I may I make sure he's good
away from the court. You know, I got the right
kind of people.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
We don't play no game. We don't do none of that.
Speaker 3 (53:14):
Okay, it ain't gonna be no driving, ain't gonna be
no shoe, ain't gonna be throwing on no grade, no,
no grenades.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
Uh you wanna do that? You you gonna get him over.
You're gonna get him over. Hey, get him a drip?
Speaker 3 (53:23):
No, no, no, I gotta I gotta drive it for him.
I gotta drive it. Will get him everywhere he needs
to go. We won't even will turn. I've been in
Miami all my life. I don't even club I ain't
been in club live yet. I just went to Booby
Trap for the first time two weeks ago. Boy, I'm
fifty seventy years old, so I know if.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
I miss drop down here to Miami, I can. I
can keep him align. We got the same goal. I
want to see you succeed.
