Speaker 2 (00:19):
The heat like Lebron and.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Now here's Cuff's the Legend, legend.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Legend the NBA In Season Tournament, the NBA In Season Tournament.
I gotta admit, y'all, I gotta admit I was wrong.
I was wrong about the NBA In Season Tournament. Adam Silver,
You dirty dog. Adam Silver, you dirty dog, you you

(00:52):
were right at him once again. You were right the
greatest commissioner in all the pro sports. And Silver he
brought not just the Final Four the Vegas, not the
NBA's version of the Final Four. Adam Silver hand delivered
US basketball lovers, US basketball connoisseurs. Adam Silver delivered the

(01:17):
NBA AAU Nationals to Las Vegas. Yes, this right here
is the first annual NBA AAU Nationals in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Because we're gonna find out who's serious.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
We're gonna find out who is really serious about that
five hundred thousand dollars pay check. You got guys on
two way deals. I don't care how much money you got.
Five hundred k is a nice payday. I don't care
if you Lebron, Damn James, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and
you have millions of dollars, billions of dollars, five hundred k.

(02:03):
That's a nice pocket change. Adam Silver, you Sly Fox,
you got it right this time. You got it right
this time. Because what I'm seeing right now the first
month and a half of the season with this n
season tournament, I'm seeing guys move the puppies. I am
seeing guys sit down in their defensive stance that I've

(02:27):
never seen do that before.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
D'Angelo Russell is moving the puppies.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Pat Bev has always moved the puppies, but Pat Bev
is top five in defensive rating right now for the Sixers.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Pat Bev moving the puppies.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Everybody is playing harder, guys diving for loose balls. They
want that five hundred k. What you want that five
hundred k to buy your lady something nice? Maybe a
BBL shout out to all the fun buns. By the way,
it's gonna be a lot fun bunnery. It's gonna be
a lot of fun buns in the Battle Las Vegas,

(03:05):
December seventh, December seventh, December ninth, semi Finals championship game.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's gonna be a lot of fun buns in Vegas.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
We're gonna find out which NBA team on this bracket
right here is the most disciplined team. You can't be
flying in those fun buns. You're trying to get that
five hundred k out West. We got the LA Lakers
as the number one seed in the NBA n Season
Tournament aka the NBA AAU Nationals. We got Lakers and Sons.

(03:43):
Now we all know the backstory. Lebron James Kevin Durant.
Everybody know this is like Wolverine going against iron Man,
right these guys are both fan favorites.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Everybody love KD.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Everybody Lovebron except for those few haters who have a
mental illness. But these guys right here, they are the
face of the league. They facing off first round quarter
final matchup at Crypto Arena, and I know y'all want
to know, Cuffs, who's gonna win that game. I got
to keep it spicy, right, here on the sung Dude

(04:19):
Sho got to keep it mango, hoping that row. The
Lakers not playing that well right now, They're not really
playing that well because guys are missing. Ruey Hotchama is
in and out of the lineup. Vanderbilt has yet to
play this year. Gave Vincent aka Schamar Moore. He's been

(04:40):
on the sideline getting his outfits off. It's been an
influx of guys all year for the Lakers. The continuity,
the chemistry, the synergy is not there yet, So I
don't feel real confident in picking the Lakers to beat
these Sons in the n Season Tournament first round quarterfinal,

(05:01):
even though the Lakers have pretty much owned the Suns
already this year in previous matchups. My heart is telling me,
go with Braun, go with Ad, but my mind is
telling me those Cactus boys, Devin Booker, the.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Mid range marauder, Kevin Durant. We already know easy money Sniper.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Looking like the MVP right now, top three MVP candidate
right now, Kevin Durant. I just asked myself, why do
we have to get that game in the quarterfinals? Why
can't that be the semi final matchup? I'm gonna go
with the Lakers. And here's why. One reason, one reason

(05:49):
only the Phoenix Suns. They have a lot of little
shoulders in their front court. Outside of Nurkic. It's a
lot of little shoulder guys. Anthony Marshawn Davis. He should
dominate this matchup. We should see thirty two fourteen three
blocks to assist.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Ad to dominate the.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Phoenix Suns in this quarterfinal matchup. And for that reason,
and that reason only, I'm gonna pick the La Lakers
to move on to the semifinals in Vegas in the
NBA n Season Tournament aka the NBA AAU Nationals. On
the other side of the bracket, we got the Milwaukee

(06:33):
Bucks as the number one seed in the Eastern Conference,
going against your Daddy's New York Knickerbockers, Walt Fraser, Willis Reed,
Bill Bradley, Patrick Ewing shot the Big Pat Man. But

(06:53):
you all know the some dude motto. The New York
Knicks will never matter with Dame Dollar, Jannis Brook, Lopez,
Chris Middleton, even though Chris Middleton is looking medium wash
right now. Any team that has Chris Middleton as their

(07:14):
third or fourth scoring option he can still get to
the mid range. As we saw a couple of nights
ago against the Miami Heat, he made some clutch baskets
in the fourth helped carry Jannis and Dame to the
finish line. I'm gonna go with the Milwaukee Bucks in
that game. Then we go to the number two seed Aniana.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Pacers Boston Celtics.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
If you look at this game on paper, I know
you automatically saying the Celtics are just better. They got
Jason Tatum MVP candidate. They got Jalen Brown, Derek White,
Chris Tats, Brezingis drew how they moving the puppies. But
do not sleep on the Pacers of Indiana. Ty Resee Halliburton,

(08:05):
Ladies and gentlemen, he has arrived. Tyrese Haliburton is looking
like the best point guard in the Eastern Conference and
maybe even the best point guard in the league.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Right now. Just look at the numbers across the board.
The kid is amazing.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Coming from Iowa State slept On in college, the Sacramento
King said no, we don't want you, Tyrese Haliburton. And
even though it's looking like it worked out for Sacramento,
some bonus is hooping Tyrese Haliburton right now in Indiana,
he's looking like a generational point guard. This is a

(08:46):
generational point guard that we're watching right now blossom right
before our very eyes in Indiana. I say all that
to say this. I got the Celtics winning that game
because of Jason Tatum, Jayleen Brown, Jaylen Brown. I said
the same thing about D'Angelo Russell. I said the same

(09:07):
thing about Tobias Harris. It's no disrespect, but sometimes, Jaylen Brown,
sometimes I don't trust you, my brother. Tighten up, Jaylen Brown.
You have all the talent in the world. Yes, we
know your left hand is kind of shaky, baby. We
know your left hand is kinda's shaky, baby, but you

(09:28):
gotta work on that. But you have the whole toolbox
outside of that left hand being horrendous. Jaylen Brown, step up.
JT can't do it all. Derrick White stepping up, Drew
Hardy's stepping up, Porzingi's looking like the Unicorn on some nights.
I'm gonna pick the Celtics in this matchup because of

(09:50):
Jaylen Brown. I'm putting the pressure on you, JB. We
already know j T gonna show up. What are you
gonna do in the nd season Tournament, Jalen Brown, I'm
picking the Celtics to advance to face the Milwaukee Bucks.
This right here is the matchup that all your mothers,

(10:11):
all your mothers have.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Been waiting for.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Celtics and Bucks and Adam Silver once again, Adam Silver,
once again. My brother, you are a genius for putting
together this n season tournament, the NBA AAU Nationals. We're
gonna get Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics in Vegas the

(10:38):
semi finals. And I'm gonna go with because I've been
watching both of these teams. I've been watching both of
these teams exclusively on NBA League Pass Playback TV. I've
been watching these guys Boston. I gotta go at Boston
by a slim margin. I think the factor it's gonna

(11:02):
be my guy once again, the ball Headed Assassin, Derek White,
Tatum Brown, Jannis Dame, those superstars, they're gonna equalize each other, right,
They're gonna cancel each other out. Who is gonna be
the X factor? Bucks Celtics. Dereck White is the guy

(11:27):
for me right here on the sum Dude Show, i
gotta go with ball Headed Derek White. He's been a
gentrified version of Grant Hill for the Celtics this year.
I gotta see that happen. I want to see this
matchup happen. I'm gonna go with the Boston Celtics over
the Bucks. Now, let's swing back to the other side

(11:48):
of the bracket. Let's go back to Cali. Let's go
back to the West coast. LA Lakers number one seed
in the West, so they will have home court advantage.
Who's gonna come into LA and beat the Lakers. We
got the Sacramento Kings and the New Orleans Pelicans facing
off quarterfinals. Sacramento to higher seed, the number two seed.

(12:12):
The game gonna be in sack Town. I gotta go
with the Aaron Fox Sabonus Malik Munk looking like the
sixth Man of the Year right now, I got purple
on right now. I gotta go with the Sacramento Kings
in that matchup. Even though, by the way, I will say,
my duke brother, my brotherhood brother in christ, Zion Wimson

(12:33):
looking like a mad man right now. Zion Wimson is
laying off the carbs right now, He's cutting carbs right now,
He's low carb Zion.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Right now, he's hired a private chef. He's eating linguini
right now, he's eating.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
All type of carrots, all type of cauliflower, buffalo cauliflower.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I gotta go with Zion.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I want to go with Zion, but I gotta go
with Daron Fox and the Sacramento Kings. Right there, I'm
going with the Kings in that matchup. The home crowd
and Sacramento they got cale bells, they lightened the beam.
Shout out to my god, comedian Lance Wood, the only
Sacramento Kings fan that I know, by the way, in
real life outside of the city of Sacramento. I'm going

(13:19):
with those Kings in that matchup because I want to
see Kings and Lakers in the semi finals in Vegas.
And I know my big homie, the big guy, Kendrick Perkins,
big perk. He got the Sacramento Kings going to the
championship of the NBA n Season Tournament. But I'm gonna
say right here on the Somedo Show, I love the

(13:42):
Sacramento Kings. Mike Brown, Coach of the Year, top three
Coach of the Year candidate, right now, it's between him,
Mark Dagnaut and OKC and my guy Jamal Mosley with
those Orlando Magic who are surgeing right now down in
Disney World. Eve won eight games in a row. Shut
out to the Orlando Magic. I love everything about the

(14:05):
Sacramento Kings organization wise. They're changing the culture in Sacramento.
There's nothing to do in Sacramento. They're changing the culture there.
I love everything about it. But the Sacramento Kings, they
don't have one thing. They don't have Lebron Damn James,

(14:25):
Lebron Damn James Las Vegas. Five hundred thousand dollars on
the line. Five hundred thousand smack of rules on the line.
And you think Bron gonna come to play, We're gonna
get playoff Braun in December. Adam Silver, you dirty dog.

(14:46):
You I see the vision at them. You're making these
superstars be motivated again. There's no more load management. Shut
out to Kawhi Leonard. There's no more load management. These
guys got juice now, their juices are flowing. Five hundred
K on the line. Do you know what you can

(15:10):
buy your beautiful woman with five hundred K and residual
income not your main source of income, your residual income
five hundred K paycheck.
