Speaker 1 (00:05):
What's up, y'all? We have the Truth Lounge. The NBA
Playoffs is heating up. Celtics moving on for one versus
the heat. You already knew that was gonna happen. Minnesota

face of the league on the rise versus Joker. The
finals MVP, two time MVP probably gonna win this third MVP.
(00:25):
Playoffs is heating up, y'all. Join you on the Truth Lounge. Hey,
it's going down. We got some stuff to talk about. Yeah,
got these wangs though, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
What's up? Game?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Welcome to the Truth Lounge. NBA Playoffs is still cracking.
I mean we at the end of the first round Milwaukee, Indiana,
Milwaukee just went packing. We gonna catch them at Venice beach.
Uh Man, the Celtics been rolling. But uh at the
top of the game. Look who out the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Dog?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You got bron Ady Booker, Dang Auntie to Coupo. I
know he was injured and all that, but you got
all these cats out the playoffs and this top of
these young bucks to sign Seine.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
But look, I like what you think what you think
Indiana got it like for this year?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
They don't look like much. No, you ain't really know
they beat a team I think they get to the
conference finals. Yes, yes, they can't look like much.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
They can get to the conference.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Well, they they playing depleted squads. I mean they're healthy
and the other squads they're playing it's not you got
you got New York. They're missing Julius Randall. People keep
forgetting that they're playing New York is playing a squad
that's beat them every time we look up and beat
us in the locker room. He's hobbling, he's fighting through
it and all this. So when they get whoever they
(01:57):
play is gonna be a hobble squad.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So, by the way, we are we watching this game
right now. Uh, New York Knicks versus Philly. We're gonna
react to that later. I still think Philly gonna win,
but we're gonna talk about that later. You don't we're
gonna talk about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't
think that. But just moving forward. I was impressed with
the Celtics. They handled business. They did what they have
to do I expected it to be like that.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You were impressed or you were unimpressed.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It was very impressed.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I mean the only game that Miami won was a
historical night. They have to make a historical amount of threes.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
In because of Boston. Let them make them a story.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Ain't nobody gonna let you do that.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
You gotta they wasn't ready. You gotta shoot the shots
and shoot them. They was breaking them down off penetration.
They wasn't covering.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You gotta like it don't matter. I see, I see
Houston miss thirty in a row.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
What that means you gotta hit you got you gotta
give them credit, Tyler hero This guys have a good game.
Shout outmy hot kids.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Truth best. So they advanced. Minnesota impressed with them.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Phoenix, Minnesota impressed Minnesota. Is how you showed you how
you shut somebody down. They showed you how you come
out there with that energy and beat the brakes off somebody.
That's impressive. That's the most impressive first round win is Minnesota.
Let's get that clear.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They they you got them favored over Denver.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I don't have them favored over Denmer. No, it's not contradicted.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
You said they was the most impressive. So they can't
beat Denver. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I don't have I don't have them favored over Denvery
just yet. But their first round win was the most
impressive to me. That's what I am standing on that,
because they came out there, the energy, played the subjicts.
They lost the game. They're supposed to sweepea.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Minnesota average like players.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
At least there was down three.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
They did what they have to do.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, so it's not impressive doing what you gotta do.
It's regular. And then you did you lost one game,
so you wasn't impressed, like the Lakers when they came
in there and lost the in the first finals game.
The cell's supposed to go in this type of playoff sell,
it's supposed to be dominant. Four four, it's four four.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Alight, like Orlando Orlando, Cleveland. Who you got that?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Cleveland up three to two, headed to Orlando. Who you
got that?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's a tough series to call. Oh, that's a Pickham series.
I don't got nobody. It's a Pickham series. Like I said,
come on, man, like, somebody gotta tell the truth around here.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
All this god like, if you have to choose one.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
If I got a bet, who do I want to win?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I want the young boys from Orlando to take off.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I got Orlando. Frank Wagner, my boy, my cracking player
of the year. He's a cracking, hollow polo Manchero. I
didn't know his name at first.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I know your name. He's cracking, Yeah he is.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
But they lost. They down three too. It's a home
team series. Maybe this will go seven. Uh, it's it's
a good series that we haven't really got a chance
to watch. So this is have a series.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Watch it. It's because it's only a TV.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, speaking for the masses. It's on the NBA TV.
It's it's only the time.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Was nobody watching that.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
No, we're not gonna watch this, but now it's the best.
It's one win series. Now it's time to lock into
this series. I've been watching it though, I've been seeing
what's going on. Uh. Donovan Mitchell having put his stamp
on this series like he had early in his career.
So I think Game six is a chance for him
to come put a stamp on it. So I'm an
reverse you talking, I'm gonna talk.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'm gonna go with Cleveland and Orlando winning this seven,
I got Cleveland like.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
The moving in a great direction.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So I got Cleveland in six. And do you think
Cleveland provides a problem for the Celjics with that interior
defense and their and the ability to match it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Now, now, I respect Cleveland all they do, but when
you get blown out by Orlando, and this ain't a
knocking Orlando, I mean to me, I don't think you
should ever get blown out of the playoffs if you
see serious about going deep in the playoffs. You know
what I'm saying, Like Cleveland got blown out, like come
on by a young teams, right, a couple of times. Yeah,
(06:11):
but I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
So y'all get blown out of y'all run?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
No, hell no, we didn't get blown out, no run.
It was losing by one two point, like come on,
not no, not no team that win. It ain't never
getting blown out like that. No, you always in it.
Just like when Denver was down twenty to the Lakes
hawked them and popped them.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
A real contender ain't gonna get blown out in the playoffs,
just like the Lakers was up dub On us hawked them.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
So what's all right? We got that, so you don't
got no issues what the cell is going in the
next round. THEE had no issues at all in the East.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I don't think there's no issues in the East. Yeah,
I mean, if you gonna think New York, that's.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Get to Denver and lose. So what they're hoping is
that the Denver is not there because they don't want
to see the Joker.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
They lost twice to them. That just fine.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They lost twice to him.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Win this year. Regular season?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, man, playoffs mold is a thing.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
What I'm saying, I.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Want to hear about the sub amazing regular season. So
we're done with that, we get into a series.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Domination.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
The bench is looking iffy.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The bench is not looking You ain't watching basketball.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I am watching basketball.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I ain't watching basketball. It's looking iffy. It's not Peyton
Pritcher has been solid off the bench. Solid. Sam Houser
solid off the bench. Give me a double. Yeah, I'm
going with that. They just blew mind. Come on, man,
I don't want to hear all that. You don't even
know what you're basing this off of.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I want to see it. I mean, they haven't been
sent no, no, No, you.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Saw a domination in the four wins domination.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, I saw the depleted Heat team that was missing
three stars.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, you ain't got this. So we did what was
supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
And you lost the game. You had to play an extra.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Go Now we get, we get, We get discredited because
of you down because you aren't hurt in the boxing
match and I knocked you out.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Is discredit.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
There's not enough.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Look, we know the boss and got the pathway to
the finals. All right, all right, so we know that.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Who you think? All right?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Who's been I've been thinking about this. I've been watching
a lot of games. Who's been the most impressive performer
individually in the playoffs so far?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Jamal Murray?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Jamal Murray.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I don't think it's nothing to talk. We got two
game winners. He's got two game winners. He's a fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
My struck you was just he was just on Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And the ras have been great. But when you got
two game winners and in four wins and you got
the game in your hands.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
He's been the most impressive.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, he got two game winners.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Damn you know, all right?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
In five games he got two game winners.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Who's been the most impressive jokers in there, jokers in
there and wards, let me your top three so far?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yes, yes, all right?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Who else? Uh don't really nobody else, I.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Shay, we just haven't been I mean, we just didn't
feel like they can damn.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
But they played a depleted or New Orleans team and
then you know that really didn't get no national attention.
But you know it's crazy, y'all. People is forgetting We're
talking about all these other teams. But okay, C is
number one in the West, and they just ain't getting
no no press.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You you think you think they gotta they swept, so
you think they got a shot? Like who who they played?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Because they got a good tea.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
They played the winner of Clippers Dallas. If Dallas win,
I'm not sure, OKAYC can get them.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
They can't get them.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
They can't, But I'm not betting. If I'm betting, I'm betting.
They've been in the playoffs every year.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Well I've been Dallas because they got Luca and.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They got they got arguably the best player. They both
got arguably the best player. So now it comes down there.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Kyrie, Uh, Kyrie has been phenomenal in these playoffs.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He's been phenomenal, Kyrie Killer, he's been phenomenal. He's he's
he's he's like at peace, he's in a good face.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Jamal Murray is the best player in the playoffs right now,
so far, first round.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
He's made the best plays. The best player is Joker.
His averages is domination, made the best plays.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
They're not the best player. He hasn't been the best player.
He's made the best plays. It's a difference. It's a
difference when we just talk about meat and potatoes.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Just just look.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
At the Joker has been probably the best player.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
In the playoffs. In the playoffs, well, he's the best
basketball player. He is the best, but his numbers speak
best player. We're not talking about because Jamal Murray didn't
shot well. Then he came through the clutch, so that huh. Yeah,
he only shot forty percent from the field. Yeah, he
hasn't been the best.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Place he shot in the second half. That's what we
need to focus on.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The best player has been joking.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I'm mad at that. I'm not mad at that. And
maybe next Anthony, No, that's step over. The guy that
makes two game winners.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
But your numbers ain't saying you've been the best player
in the playoffs. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Against those guys you made the Lakers plays the Lakers,
they was always down. He was coming through. That was
down all the all the series. They were down one
day down every every game and a half time. So
that that meant, that meant no matter how well Joker played,
Once Murray inserted himself into the game, it was over.
He has he puts the game away.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Who's the alright, alright, alright, here'll go better question, who's
been the best point guard in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Murray? Now we got that? There we go.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
There you go over Bronson, Yes, over Maxi, Yes, over Shae. Yes, Jesus,
he's shooting forty twenty nine from three, and he's been
the best player.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Yeah. When Shae the percentages out the windows. He's winning.
He's on, he's relaxing. You know what Murray doing right now?
He got his feet in the Jakouzi. Yes, so Shae
had it easy. We knew that this guy had to
go through Lebron and a D. He had to go
topple them.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That was to go through that.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Let me ask you this was that the Was that
the toughest first round matchup for anybody to have to
go through that, to have to go through that legacy
of Lebron and a D coming at you, that was hard.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
No, no, no, they have no are champions with Kevin
Booker poor season, just like they're like they didn't have
a poor season. They was we didn't have Now they
had a Lakers out of the porch pre season two.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Like Lebron a D was champions. We got to the playoffs,
it was looking like Lebron and a D. We heard
a lot of these shows saying Lakers have a chance
to get to the conference finals. I heard that many times.
Nobody said that about I think six people said that,
but nobody about Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Everybody said that. Yeah, everybody said that in the playoffs.
Everybody said that about Phoenix. So you said, you say
Phoenix Minnesota is the best win, the best the best.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Win in the first round.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, yes, so you're given Anthony everas your best player.
Not joking.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I didn't say that they had the best win. Well,
he was a guy he had it don't matter. It's
a difference. It's a difference. Self is won the most games.
But I don't mean Jason has been the best player.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
They got the best team.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
They got the best team, that's it. But because of
because you got best player. Yeah, Joker has been the
best player.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
He's so good, right, he's so yeah. All right, So listen,
we saw that your series you have Minnesota. I like that.
I like what you said about that. Now let's talk
about your career. Who was a guy when you was
in KDI position that was coming at you, putting you
out of here, coming that older when I was older, Yeah,
(14:24):
coming at you and a young yeah, who grew up
watching you. They was they was in middle school when
you was putting it down. And now here they go
is their time?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean yeah, I mean it's gotta be lebron. I mean,
you know, he was a young pheenom and I was older.
You know, we didn't put them out the playoffs already.
He wasn't talking shit to me though, like like a
D like like he was like KD like like at words.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Nah, ain't nobody was coming in the league. That's whacked up.
Speaker 1 (14:55):

you feel bad about it being a human, like like,

want to fight.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, he wanted to turn up King Martin.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Martin In there.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Then I got maybe Charles Barkley in there all time.
Charles Barkley in there. He just swung on a couple
of people.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So it's Barkley and beasts.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, there's gotta be who actually has scraps in it
in the NBA game.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Kareem, Kareem, Kareem. No, Karate Kareem. He out there squabbing
with Bruce Lee in the off season.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
But he stole on who he stole on somebody?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
He just fired on him. You gotta get the clip
of that Kareem in there. But that wasn't a squad
that he called him when he wasn't looking.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh, I had Zoe on the first team. That's what
I had Zo. Nah. Yeah, Zoe swung off so was swinging. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But Larry Johnson, I'll take Larry another nick.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I know another nick.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
The next boy, right, the Knicks, Damn these Knicks, these next,
these Nicks going to advance tonight.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, they're not. They only up to homie. You ain't look,
you ain't look, you ain't been looking. We're watching the game.
Uh oh the Knicks is only up four points, homie.
All right, y'all check it. We about to take a
little break. Watch the rest of this game. We're gonna
react to it. We'll get back to y'all. All right,
Philly went in. I thought they would just I thought
(23:00):
they'd just show a little more grit. It's just that
New York just so gritty. They kept getting key offensive rebound,
offensive rebound, then Jalen Prince for three, Jalen Burns for
three off the offensive rebound, and then you got add
to know, we goes in dunks on. It's just too
much to overcome. I thought MAXI was a key to
the series. I thought n B would play, Well, what's
(23:24):
your reaction?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
All right? Now we got Nicks playing the Pacers. And
let me tell you something.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Jalen Brunson man and I know I didn't said some
things about Jalen and I didn't think the Knicks will
make it out of the first round.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So I got the Jalen Brunson jersey.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Hopefully the Knicks will give me a ticket, but if not,
I'll wear it on the Truth Lounge because I promise, Ah,
I bet, but my ass goes off because I truly
believe that after tonight, Jalen Brunton has been the best
singular best.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Player in the whole place, in the whole playoffs, and
that's over.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Like Joker, And I said Joker before, and I was like, damn,
Joker's hard to overcome. Just as far as best player,
Jamal Murray, you got who else, Shay Gil just who's
been flying under the radar killing they sweart Anthony Edwards.
But Jalen Brunson, based on the talent that he has, Yeah,
(24:24):
it doesn't even have a player.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Close to an All Star.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
This guy's talking truth, man.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I mean yeah, I can't breach.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I can't be in church right now.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I can't deny him no more. Bro breach.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I can't deny him no more. But shout out to
the Knicks, good job, good Win. That's another player. That's
how the playoffs looking. We got right here. We got
mb out the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Max in that category.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Use repeat what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I know, but you've putting them. We're talking about the
older guys like the Lebron's staff. Lebron's he's not in
that group because he's We just.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Talked about the great players who are out there the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yeah, but he was banged up. I thought he played well.
I thought he gave what he could give. I mean
he's out the order.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
The fourth quarter he couldn't move.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
He couldn't move.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Just the fourth quarter, he couldn't move. He was on
thirty nine. Fourth quarter, you can't keep He was.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
On his feet for thirty minutes. He's not well. He
went to the lockerow, I'm defending him. I'm defending caliber
player that he is defending him. I am to not
show up in the fourth Yes, he couldn't. This is
when you needed the moved. Listen, man, he can't blink.
(25:38):
He's tough. He battled. He had thirty nine points. He
gave you all he had.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
He had nothing left. The sixers are throw they're done,
They're done.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So he did what he had to do.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
We got to give him credit as a warrior, as
a battler, as a fighter.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
You signing too political right now.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
No, I'm not given him his flowers. He fought, man,
he stood to the last minute. He could have. Man,
you saw it in the fourth quarter. He couldn't stand
in the middle of the key bro. He couldn't move.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So, moving forward, Philly has some decisions to make. They
have Maxie under contract. They got an embid on the contract.
How do they get better. What if you had to play,
you put your GM hat on right now and you
be like, what move can they make to where you
(26:30):
can take them serious next year? Because this is the
first round loss.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Well, I'm gonna tell you one thing that.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I think you gotta bring Kelly.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Where are they're at in the draft? You gotta bring
Brad's It depends on what price. We just can't get
rid of them, throw them away. Who else we're getting.
If you can get Paul George, you can get Paul George. Yes,
you get Paul George. You do that, You do that.
You gotta do a big move if you can. If
you with in bid, you have to make the pressure off,
(27:00):
and b you have to get in be healthy for
the playoffs. You cannot get through the season with then
be Max. He is ready for the season. Embiid is
ready for the playoffs. The constant theme if you've been
watching what we've been talking about is young talent in
role player positions and stars not just stars, not just
the Shade the Lucas to this, it's the Jayden Williams,
(27:23):
just the lou Dorts, and it is them guys. Those
guys are healthy. The Jaden McDaniels. Those guys are getting
you through the season and playoffs. They're young, they play defense.
The Franz Vagners, Orlando Maddick. These teams have young talent, even.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
That, but they gotta get you any talk, you got
to get you a playoff. It's the young superstars that's
ruling over up Dayton, the old stars.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
But they're paired with young talent. We don't have a
we don't have a team where we have the old
guys with the young.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
The young star to win today.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Now, if your star is not in this too, yo
yoga is stars winning the chip? Ain't no superstars winning
the chip in their thirties right now, right now today.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
How old is Joker? How old is Joker?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Well, all the MVP candidates in their twenties.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
All the MVP candidates.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
So it's a change in the guards. Yeah, yeah, no,
But I'm saying, listen, you're not hearing my point. I'm
telling you the young role players too. See like we've
been knowing stars stars. I'm not You're right, you're on
that point, but I'm saying we were negating the young
draft pick. Now with the portal with these with these
players like Hoimi Keadney's seniors. You gotta draft correctly. Again.
(28:44):
You have to Phoenix Suns. They didn't have no depth.
They should have had somebody come out of college. They
can get them through the season when Bill is hurt
to put them in better position. They don't got to
see the timber Woods first round. They needed time to
warm up and get their their engines going, and they
didn't get that facing a young, hungry, thirsty.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Bull squad that Alexander.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Like, the players make a difference.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Young players. We had to get back to that saying,
but look, moving forward, Nicks versus Indiana, who you got.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I'm gonna go ahead and stick with the Knicks. I
like what they're doing. I like where Brunson's play is
as an individual player coming into your series three straight
forty point games.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Is the best point guard in the league?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yes, three straight forty point games.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I'm saying, yes, yes, he's the best point guard in
the league today.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
This is today, the stats today. What's going on? Better
than Steph Yes, Stephen is.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Better than He's better than John Moran, Halliburton, maxim.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Well, Halliburton got a chance to prove me wrong. So no, no, no, no,
it's the best voter for Brunson the Halliburn over Kyrie, Yeah,
over Luoka too? Oh forty eleven and gets through these guys.
What you're talking about, yes, right now, is better than Luka.
Donkin's playing better right now.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I just say that. I just say who's playing better.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But you want to skills contest? I said, I is
playing better, got his team to the next round three
straight forty point games.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Who's the best point guard in the league today?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Is Brunson? This is what I said.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
You're taking him over Luca right now?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Come on, man, here you go with these games taking him.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Over Luca right so, you're not taking him over Lucas.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
I picked him, I put my vote in. I said
what I said, He's the best right now. So good,
this can change. This is the league.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
You can't do.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I'm not Luca is right now.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
If you put Brunson on Dalla with Kyrie, they beating
the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I mean that's a different lineup. Look at sixty seven
you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
All right, So if you put Luke on the Knicks,
do they beat six or Snight?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I don't know all that Brunton handling his business. If
you don't, you got to play the what if game?
Brunst is are youre killing? Are you watching? You were
watching the games? Brunton is killing. We don't need to
know what if we're end season in the playoffs. Brunton
is handling his business. Know what I said last time,
Brunton is killing. What I said, he's your number one
(31:35):
guy right now. You said it earlier. That's why I
was quiet.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Now you're going away from your own stuff. Stick to
your stuff, you the truth, Stick to your ship.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
What's my ship?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
You said, Brunson, you gave a whole solitically.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I shut up. I didn't.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I kicked back.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And he's changed the best in the playoffs. I didn't
say he was.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Ain't that what we talk about from let's talk how
we talk? Now? You're saying, we talk about play off basketball?
That's what everything? This is, everything in our life is
playoff basketball. The season is cute. You cute eighty two games.
You did your thing. Now you go home, you go
to can Coon. You're partying with No Diddy, you're doing
all that. This is the time when we was in

Speaker 2 (32:24):
I want to say this to this so I want
to say this. You said that.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I want to say this to the camera. I'm sorry
to New York Knicks. I was unfamiliar with y'all game.
I disrespected. Brun said, all right, I apologize. I was
unfamiliar with y'all game. But y'all made it to the
second round. I got I got a Brunson jersey on
(32:48):
the way. I should be here any day now.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
And I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Doing the most with the least, uh, based on what
everybody else is doing in the league. Because when I
look at the nixt second best player, who is it.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Josh Hart, it's the Villanova I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Just saying, who's the second best player in the next
right now?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
It's the crew? Both of them?
Speaker 2 (33:15):

As long as you say why, that's when they invented pause.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
To the party. They got a bunch of hard dudes.
Speaker 1 (34:19):

Look, moving forward, moving forward, He said, Indiana, you got Indiana,
New York, you got New York.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I got New York.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
And how many games?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I think they're gonna do what they just did. They're
gonna beat them in Indy. I'm gonna be at that
game if possible.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Know what I'm saying. Do you think Indiana got the
grit to hang with him though?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah? Of course they competitors. Yeah, had a burden, Like
I said, he has a case.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Got home court advantage.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah, the gardens back the garden.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Oh my god, the playoffs are incredible. We gotta pick
a side. So do you pick jokers. I'm gonna pick
the jokers.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I got jokers. Yeah, I got jack.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
So after that, we got mm hmm, Clippers, Mavericks. That's
that's going down. Who you got?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I got the Mavericks, I got the Mavericks, Clippers unhealthy
and then don't look.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Like Celtics versus everybody.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
What's else is playing.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
It doesn't matter, It does not matter. So just going
to the finals, Yes, go ahead and put your money
on it.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Your finals prediction, Celtics is somebody who are coming out
the West.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
We don't see. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Celtics.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
But you can't say the West, no prediction, say somebody anybody.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
The Celtics is walking in there. But you know how
you look at your schedule in the playoff and when
you get the playoff thing and you just know the
Celtics got rollovers. They can't anything happened. No, they're not.
They're not talking like that. They're in They're like, we
got a cupcakes. That's what they own.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
You gotta know.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
We talk all this stuff on the media, but you
know when you're playing cupcakes and you know when you
got real games, they gotta win. Everybody's wounded. This is
they're too talented. They're going to be in the finals.
Everything else is I'm wain't in the c man it's
a battle. I mean, it's easy to pick later. Who
you think prediction now, I don't know. I wouldn't be
surprised if Dallas get to the finals.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
All right, so Dallas Celtics. His prediction Dallas.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
No, it's not I said. I said in Boston versus somebody,
we're going to these next let's respected. Let's respected my
next round wins. Right now, I got, I got Denver,
and I'm gonna go ahead and skip.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
You think they got Dallas clip finals? So you think
Dallas is gonna be Clippers. You said that, okay See,
it's gonna defeat Dallas, and then okay see is gonna
see Denver?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yes, so you got Denver going to the finals. No,
you don't think, okay See, I don't know. Let me
see how okay See build their game. I'm watching, I'm studying.
I want to see how okay See build themselves up.
Right now, I got okay See in Denver in the
Western Conference finals as as far as as as far
as I can project right now, I gotta see, I
(37:29):
gotta see. I got Boston, Boston like this, Boston already
call it like y'all got our hotel. We end when
we hit. Okay, hold up.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
You don't know where you're going, you're gonna order a hotel.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
They gotta get meals for either way they go, they
gonna book.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
If you don't know what city you Denver or Okay.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
See, you just.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Put a deposit down and wasting.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
If you do the posits, we gotta see meal plans
and all that. We got people in charge of this.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
You can do that in the day, though.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
No, we need to have organized. What's we're winning we
now as we Yeah, Celtics, I'm with the winners. Whoever wins.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
That was the most running You're the most front running
fan ever. Yes, whoever's going, that's who you're the fan of.
That's who your team is. Yes, roll with the Indiana tomorrow.
You're like Indiana to the finals.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Did he like the and and the Damon Jones said
it best. Roll with the winners. That's what I do.
Who you predicted to win it all, that's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
So if you said Celis came, goalt to the finals,
you don't think Celtics gonna win it all. I'm gonna
see how they deal with Joker. Get So you got
Joker going to the final, Joker.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Beat the Celtics. Celtics beat. Okay, see you listen to this,
no no, no prediction.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Then I just said I said, Joker beat the Celtics.
Celtics beat. Okay, See I got Denver and okay see
see you see.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Me got it?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
You see what I want?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
You see what I want?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
All right, I don't see, but I got Celtics beating. Okay.
See if okay, see happens to beat them.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
So if it's okay, see Celtics, you got Celtics don't.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Have no bench, I mean, do porter God deal with
something else? He had another brother get arrested, like it's
just crazy.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Brunston just averaged thirty five on forty nine percent shooting.
Haller Burton is averaging nineteen point seven on fifty one
percent shooting.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Thirteen assists.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Battle to point guards, I think whoever wins the point
guard matchup is gonna win that series.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Now Brunst is gonna win the point guard matchups? I
don't know, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
He's because because if Brunton is scoring, say if bruns
is scoring like thirty but he's got low assists, but
then haller Burton is giving you like twenty three and thirteen.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Well, you're right, I'm gonna say you what I'm saying. No,
I'm gonna say you're right because of this, because the
TJ McConnell effect. It's point guard by committee with these guys.
TJ just had a career high. He just let them
and scoring tonight. So yeah, playoff career. So them two
as a combination is putting the pressure on Brunton. Can
Miles McBride give them something? You know, the offset.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I'm not gonna allow.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Hard to be just domin on the board because I
think I believe Indiana's a little more got more grit
to him. They got more more players that just got
some to him. Man, I think.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
They got them.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I don't know about all that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
I want to go that want to come on?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Okay, you know what I'm saying. They got some players,
They got some some.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Them shoulders up, We're gonna get We're gonna do a
thousand shoulder presses today.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
That's what That's what vill shout out Jay Wright Hall
of Fame. Uh, this is jo making because he got
the Villanova guys got this New York team, saved their life,
his culture saved the New York. Let's keep it real.
The culture of the fight, the grid, the way these
guys play. You think you think Indiana got guys better
(41:11):
than these guys, No way, Nope.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I got Indiana in this series. Yeah in six.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
It's the hater in you, that New York hate. It's
the Boston New York.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Because I have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
You just gave Brunson all the privt and.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
You I praised one, but I don't think that's good
enough to be the better. A team that.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Got more than said these guys is tougher. I don't
know who's tougher right now. Indiana should watch some toughness.
They lost two games to a depleted Milwaukee team that
was out there.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
I mean they got some fight, greed, They got greed.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Patrick Beverley out there, Come on, they got greed, bok
Brook low Pay has got fight, Middleton got fight.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
You act like they ain't gritty Porters fight.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
He was kicked out the game that he was all
he had dog though, Yeah they got dogs over there,
So we got dogs like Philly didn't have no dogs.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
To me, they had they had Maxi as a dog
and b.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
I mean, I guess you could say, oh brave, but
the rest of them was acting like they didn't want
no smoke. So when you ain't got five guys he
don't want no smoke, then it's tough.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
M So you got Indiana, Okay, we got New York.
I got New.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
York, Indiana New York. I got Dallas closing it out.
I got Celtics whoever they play versus Orlando. They gonna whatever.
All right, there we have it, man, So she We're

Crisp.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
What's up, y'all? We have the Truth Lounge. The NBA
Playoffs is heating up. Celtics moving on for one versus
the heat. You already knew that was gonna happen. Minnesota
at Man. We might have a rising star, maybe a
face of the league on the rise versus Joker. The
finals MVP, two time MVP probably gonna win this third MVP.
(00:25):
Playoffs is heating up, y'all. Join you on the Truth Lounge. Hey,
it's going down. We got some stuff to talk about. Yeah,
got these wangs though, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
What's up? Game?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Welcome to the Truth Lounge. NBA Playoffs is still cracking.
I mean we at the end of the first round Milwaukee, Indiana,
Milwaukee just went packing. We gonna catch them at Venice beach.
Uh Man, the Celtics been rolling. But uh at the
top of the game. Look who out the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Dog?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You got bron Ady Booker, Dang Auntie to Coupo. I
know he was injured and all that, but you got
all these cats out the playoffs and this top of
these young bucks to sign Seine.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
But look, I like what you think what you think
Indiana got it like for this year?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
They don't look like much. No, you ain't really know
they beat a team I think they get to the
conference finals. Yes, yes, they can't look like much.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
They can get to the conference.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Well, they they playing depleted squads. I mean they're healthy
and the other squads they're playing it's not you got
you got New York. They're missing Julius Randall. People keep
forgetting that they're playing New York is playing a squad
that's beat them every time we look up and beat
us in the locker room. He's hobbling, he's fighting through
it and all this. So when they get whoever they
(01:57):
play is gonna be a hobble squad.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So, by the way, we are we watching this game
right now. Uh, New York Knicks versus Philly. We're gonna
react to that later. I still think Philly gonna win,
but we're gonna talk about that later. You don't we're
gonna talk about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't
think that. But just moving forward. I was impressed with
the Celtics. They handled business. They did what they have
to do I expected it to be like that.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You were impressed or you were unimpressed.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It was very impressed.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I mean the only game that Miami won was a
historical night. They have to make a historical amount of threes.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
In because of Boston. Let them make them a story.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Ain't nobody gonna let you do that.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
You gotta they wasn't ready. You gotta shoot the shots
and shoot them. They was breaking them down off penetration.
They wasn't covering.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You gotta like it don't matter. I see, I see
Houston miss thirty in a row.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
What that means you gotta hit you got you gotta
give them credit, Tyler hero This guys have a good game.
Shout outmy hot kids.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Truth best. So they advanced. Minnesota impressed with them.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Phoenix, Minnesota impressed Minnesota. Is how you showed you how
you shut somebody down. They showed you how you come
out there with that energy and beat the brakes off somebody.
That's impressive. That's the most impressive first round win is Minnesota.
Let's get that clear.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They they you got them favored over Denver.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I don't have them favored over Denmer. No, it's not contradicted.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
You said they was the most impressive. So they can't
beat Denver. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I don't have I don't have them favored over Denvery
just yet. But their first round win was the most
impressive to me. That's what I am standing on that,
because they came out there, the energy, played the subjicts.
They lost the game. They're supposed to sweepea.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Minnesota average like players.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
At least there was down three.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
They did what they have to do.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, so it's not impressive doing what you gotta do.
It's regular. And then you did you lost one game,
so you wasn't impressed, like the Lakers when they came
in there and lost the in the first finals game.
The cell's supposed to go in this type of playoff sell,
it's supposed to be dominant. Four four, it's four four.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Alight, like Orlando Orlando, Cleveland. Who you got that?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Cleveland up three to two, headed to Orlando. Who you
got that?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's a tough series to call. Oh, that's a Pickham series.
I don't got nobody. It's a Pickham series. Like I said,
come on, man, like, somebody gotta tell the truth around here.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
All this god like, if you have to choose one.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
If I got a bet, who do I want to win?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I want the young boys from Orlando to take off.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I got Orlando. Frank Wagner, my boy, my cracking player
of the year. He's a cracking, hollow polo Manchero. I
didn't know his name at first.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I know your name. He's cracking, Yeah he is.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
But they lost. They down three too. It's a home
team series. Maybe this will go seven. Uh, it's it's
a good series that we haven't really got a chance
to watch. So this is have a series.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Watch it. It's because it's only a TV.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, speaking for the masses. It's on the NBA TV.
It's it's only the time.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Was nobody watching that.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
No, we're not gonna watch this, but now it's the best.
It's one win series. Now it's time to lock into
this series. I've been watching it though, I've been seeing
what's going on. Uh. Donovan Mitchell having put his stamp
on this series like he had early in his career.
So I think Game six is a chance for him
to come put a stamp on it. So I'm an
reverse you talking, I'm gonna talk.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'm gonna go with Cleveland and Orlando winning this seven,
I got Cleveland like.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
The moving in a great direction.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So I got Cleveland in six. And do you think
Cleveland provides a problem for the Celjics with that interior
defense and their and the ability to match it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Now, now, I respect Cleveland all they do, but when
you get blown out by Orlando, and this ain't a
knocking Orlando, I mean to me, I don't think you
should ever get blown out of the playoffs if you
see serious about going deep in the playoffs. You know
what I'm saying, Like Cleveland got blown out, like come
on by a young teams, right, a couple of times. Yeah,
(06:11):
but I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
So y'all get blown out of y'all run?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
No, hell no, we didn't get blown out, no run.
It was losing by one two point, like come on,
not no, not no team that win. It ain't never
getting blown out like that. No, you always in it.
Just like when Denver was down twenty to the Lakes
hawked them and popped them.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
A real contender ain't gonna get blown out in the playoffs,
just like the Lakers was up dub On us hawked them.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
So what's all right? We got that, so you don't
got no issues what the cell is going in the
next round. THEE had no issues at all in the East.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I don't think there's no issues in the East. Yeah,
I mean, if you gonna think New York, that's.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Get to Denver and lose. So what they're hoping is
that the Denver is not there because they don't want
to see the Joker.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
They lost twice to them. That just fine.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They lost twice to him.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Win this year. Regular season?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, man, playoffs mold is a thing.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
What I'm saying, I.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Want to hear about the sub amazing regular season. So
we're done with that, we get into a series.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Domination.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
The bench is looking iffy.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The bench is not looking You ain't watching basketball.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I am watching basketball.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I ain't watching basketball. It's looking iffy. It's not Peyton
Pritcher has been solid off the bench. Solid. Sam Houser
solid off the bench. Give me a double. Yeah, I'm
going with that. They just blew mind. Come on, man,
I don't want to hear all that. You don't even
know what you're basing this off of.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I want to see it. I mean, they haven't been
sent no, no, No, you.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Saw a domination in the four wins domination.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, I saw the depleted Heat team that was missing
three stars.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, you ain't got this. So we did what was
supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
And you lost the game. You had to play an extra.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Go Now we get, we get, We get discredited because
of you down because you aren't hurt in the boxing
match and I knocked you out.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Is discredit.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
There's not enough.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Look, we know the boss and got the pathway to
the finals. All right, all right, so we know that.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Who you think? All right?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Who's been I've been thinking about this. I've been watching
a lot of games. Who's been the most impressive performer
individually in the playoffs so far?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Jamal Murray?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Jamal Murray.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I don't think it's nothing to talk. We got two
game winners. He's got two game winners. He's a fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
My struck you was just he was just on Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And the ras have been great. But when you got
two game winners and in four wins and you got
the game in your hands.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
He's been the most impressive.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, he got two game winners.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Damn you know, all right?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
In five games he got two game winners.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Who's been the most impressive jokers in there, jokers in
there and wards, let me your top three so far?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yes, yes, all right?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Who else? Uh don't really nobody else, I.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Shay, we just haven't been I mean, we just didn't
feel like they can damn.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
But they played a depleted or New Orleans team and
then you know that really didn't get no national attention.
But you know it's crazy, y'all. People is forgetting We're
talking about all these other teams. But okay, C is
number one in the West, and they just ain't getting
no no press.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You you think you think they gotta they swept, so
you think they got a shot? Like who who they played?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Because they got a good tea.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
They played the winner of Clippers Dallas. If Dallas win,
I'm not sure, OKAYC can get them.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
They can't get them.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
They can't, But I'm not betting. If I'm betting, I'm betting.
They've been in the playoffs every year.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Well I've been Dallas because they got Luca and.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They got they got arguably the best player. They both
got arguably the best player. So now it comes down there.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Kyrie, Uh, Kyrie has been phenomenal in these playoffs.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He's been phenomenal, Kyrie Killer, he's been phenomenal. He's he's
he's he's like at peace, he's in a good face.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Jamal Murray is the best player in the playoffs right now,
so far, first round.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
He's made the best plays. The best player is Joker.
His averages is domination, made the best plays.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
They're not the best player. He hasn't been the best player.
He's made the best plays. It's a difference. It's a
difference when we just talk about meat and potatoes.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Just just look.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
At the Joker has been probably the best player.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
In the playoffs. In the playoffs, well, he's the best
basketball player. He is the best, but his numbers speak
best player. We're not talking about because Jamal Murray didn't
shot well. Then he came through the clutch, so that huh. Yeah,
he only shot forty percent from the field. Yeah, he
hasn't been the best.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Place he shot in the second half. That's what we
need to focus on.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The best player has been joking.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I'm mad at that. I'm not mad at that. And
maybe next Anthony, No, that's step over. The guy that
makes two game winners.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
But your numbers ain't saying you've been the best player
in the playoffs. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Against those guys you made the Lakers plays the Lakers,
they was always down. He was coming through. That was
down all the all the series. They were down one
day down every every game and a half time. So
that that meant, that meant no matter how well Joker played,
Once Murray inserted himself into the game, it was over.
He has he puts the game away.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Who's the alright, alright, alright, here'll go better question, who's
been the best point guard in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Murray? Now we got that? There we go.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
There you go over Bronson, Yes, over Maxi, Yes, over Shae. Yes, Jesus,
he's shooting forty twenty nine from three, and he's been
the best player.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Yeah. When Shae the percentages out the windows. He's winning.
He's on, he's relaxing. You know what Murray doing right now?
He got his feet in the Jakouzi. Yes, so Shae
had it easy. We knew that this guy had to
go through Lebron and a D. He had to go
topple them.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That was to go through that.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Let me ask you this was that the Was that
the toughest first round matchup for anybody to have to
go through that, to have to go through that legacy
of Lebron and a D coming at you, that was hard.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
No, no, no, they have no are champions with Kevin
Booker poor season, just like they're like they didn't have
a poor season. They was we didn't have Now they
had a Lakers out of the porch pre season two.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Like Lebron a D was champions. We got to the playoffs,
it was looking like Lebron and a D. We heard
a lot of these shows saying Lakers have a chance
to get to the conference finals. I heard that many times.
Nobody said that about I think six people said that,
but nobody about Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Everybody said that. Yeah, everybody said that in the playoffs.
Everybody said that about Phoenix. So you said, you say
Phoenix Minnesota is the best win, the best the best.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Win in the first round.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, yes, so you're given Anthony everas your best player.
Not joking.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I didn't say that they had the best win. Well,
he was a guy he had it don't matter. It's
a difference. It's a difference. Self is won the most games.
But I don't mean Jason has been the best player.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
They got the best team.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
They got the best team, that's it. But because of
because you got best player. Yeah, Joker has been the
best player.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
He's so good, right, he's so yeah. All right, So listen,
we saw that your series you have Minnesota. I like that.
I like what you said about that. Now let's talk
about your career. Who was a guy when you was
in KDI position that was coming at you, putting you
out of here, coming that older when I was older, Yeah,
(14:24):
coming at you and a young yeah, who grew up
watching you. They was they was in middle school when
you was putting it down. And now here they go
is their time?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean yeah, I mean it's gotta be lebron. I mean,
you know, he was a young pheenom and I was older.
You know, we didn't put them out the playoffs already.
He wasn't talking shit to me though, like like a
D like like he was like KD like like at words.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Nah, ain't nobody was coming in the league. That's whacked up.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They wasn't about to do that, That's what I'm saying.
Ain't nobody about to be talking like that to me,
like my my talk was just too much. I'll make
you feel bad about it being a human, like like,
oh nah, uh, you wasn't about to talk to talk
to me like that, you know what I'm saying. And
then you add on like that. Our whole team was talking.

We we had the best ship talking team in the
history of the league.

And I'm gonna put this on record, we was probably
the top.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Five most intimidating teams in the NBA history.

that he called him when he wasn't looking.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh, I had Zoe on the first team. That's what
I had Zo. Nah. Yeah, Zoe swung off so was swinging. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But Larry Johnson, I'll take Larry another nick.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I know another nick.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
The next boy, right, the Knicks, Damn these Knicks, these next,
these Nicks going to advance tonight.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, they're not. They only up to homie. You ain't look,
you ain't look, you ain't been looking. We're watching the game.
Uh oh the Knicks is only up four points, homie.
All right, y'all check it. We about to take a
little break. Watch the rest of this game. We're gonna
react to it. We'll get back to y'all. All right,
Philly went in. I thought they would just I thought
(23:00):
they'd just show a little more grit. It's just that
New York just so gritty. They kept getting key offensive rebound,
offensive rebound, then Jalen Prince for three, Jalen Burns for
three off the offensive rebound, and then you got add
to know, we goes in dunks on. It's just too
much to overcome. I thought MAXI was a key to
the series. I thought n B would play, Well, what's
(23:24):
your reaction?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
All right? Now we got Nicks playing the Pacers. And
let me tell you something.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Jalen Brunson man and I know I didn't said some
things about Jalen and I didn't think the Knicks will
make it out of the first round.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So I got the Jalen Brunson jersey.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Hopefully the Knicks will give me a ticket, but if not,
I'll wear it on the Truth Lounge because I promise, Ah,
I bet, but my ass goes off because I truly
believe that after tonight, Jalen Brunton has been the best
singular best.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Player in the whole place, in the whole playoffs, and
that's over.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Like Joker, And I said Joker before, and I was like, damn,
Joker's hard to overcome. Just as far as best player,
Jamal Murray, you got who else, Shay Gil just who's
been flying under the radar killing they sweart Anthony Edwards.
But Jalen Brunson, based on the talent that he has, Yeah,
(24:24):
it doesn't even have a player.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Close to an All Star.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
This guy's talking truth, man.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I mean yeah, I can't breach.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I can't be in church right now.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I can't deny him no more. Bro breach.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I can't deny him no more. But shout out to
the Knicks, good job, good Win. That's another player. That's
how the playoffs looking. We got right here. We got
mb out the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Max in that category.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Use repeat what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I know, but you've putting them. We're talking about the
older guys like the Lebron's staff. Lebron's he's not in
that group because he's We just.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Talked about the great players who are out there the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yeah, but he was banged up. I thought he played well.
I thought he gave what he could give. I mean
he's out the order.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
The fourth quarter he couldn't move.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
He couldn't move.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Just the fourth quarter, he couldn't move. He was on
thirty nine. Fourth quarter, you can't keep He was.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
On his feet for thirty minutes. He's not well. He
went to the lockerow, I'm defending him. I'm defending caliber
player that he is defending him. I am to not
show up in the fourth Yes, he couldn't. This is
when you needed the moved. Listen, man, he can't blink.
(25:38):
He's tough. He battled. He had thirty nine points. He
gave you all he had.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
He had nothing left. The sixers are throw they're done,
They're done.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So he did what he had to do.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
We got to give him credit as a warrior, as
a battler, as a fighter.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
You signing too political right now.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
No, I'm not given him his flowers. He fought, man,
he stood to the last minute. He could have. Man,
you saw it in the fourth quarter. He couldn't stand
in the middle of the key bro. He couldn't move.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So, moving forward, Philly has some decisions to make. They
have Maxie under contract. They got an embid on the contract.
How do they get better. What if you had to play,
you put your GM hat on right now and you
be like, what move can they make to where you
(26:30):
can take them serious next year? Because this is the
first round loss.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Well, I'm gonna tell you one thing that.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I think you gotta bring Kelly.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Where are they're at in the draft? You gotta bring
Brad's It depends on what price. We just can't get
rid of them, throw them away. Who else we're getting.
If you can get Paul George, you can get Paul George. Yes,
you get Paul George. You do that, You do that.
You gotta do a big move if you can. If
you with in bid, you have to make the pressure off,
(27:00):
and b you have to get in be healthy for
the playoffs. You cannot get through the season with then
be Max. He is ready for the season. Embiid is
ready for the playoffs. The constant theme if you've been
watching what we've been talking about is young talent in
role player positions and stars not just stars, not just
the Shade the Lucas to this, it's the Jayden Williams,
(27:23):
just the lou Dorts, and it is them guys. Those
guys are healthy. The Jaden McDaniels. Those guys are getting
you through the season and playoffs. They're young, they play defense.
The Franz Vagners, Orlando Maddick. These teams have young talent, even.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
That, but they gotta get you any talk, you got
to get you a playoff. It's the young superstars that's
ruling over up Dayton, the old stars.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
But they're paired with young talent. We don't have a
we don't have a team where we have the old
guys with the young.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
The young star to win today.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Now, if your star is not in this too, yo
yoga is stars winning the chip? Ain't no superstars winning
the chip in their thirties right now, right now today.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
How old is Joker? How old is Joker?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Well, all the MVP candidates in their twenties.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
All the MVP candidates.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
So it's a change in the guards. Yeah, yeah, no,
But I'm saying, listen, you're not hearing my point. I'm
telling you the young role players too. See like we've
been knowing stars stars. I'm not You're right, you're on
that point, but I'm saying we were negating the young
draft pick. Now with the portal with these with these
players like Hoimi Keadney's seniors. You gotta draft correctly. Again.
(28:44):
You have to Phoenix Suns. They didn't have no depth.
They should have had somebody come out of college. They
can get them through the season when Bill is hurt
to put them in better position. They don't got to
see the timber Woods first round. They needed time to
warm up and get their their engines going, and they
didn't get that facing a young, hungry, thirsty.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Bull squad that Alexander.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Like, the players make a difference.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Young players. We had to get back to that saying,
but look, moving forward, Nicks versus Indiana, who you got.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I'm gonna go ahead and stick with the Knicks. I
like what they're doing. I like where Brunson's play is
as an individual player coming into your series three straight
forty point games.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Is the best point guard in the league?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yes, three straight forty point games.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I'm saying, yes, yes, he's the best point guard in
the league today.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
This is today, the stats today. What's going on? Better
than Steph Yes, Stephen is.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Better than He's better than John Moran, Halliburton, maxim.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Well, Halliburton got a chance to prove me wrong. So no, no, no, no,
it's the best voter for Brunson the Halliburn over Kyrie, Yeah,
over Luoka too? Oh forty eleven and gets through these guys.
What you're talking about, yes, right now, is better than Luka.
Donkin's playing better right now.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I just say that. I just say who's playing better.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But you want to skills contest? I said, I is
playing better, got his team to the next round three
straight forty point games.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Who's the best point guard in the league today?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Is Brunson? This is what I said.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
You're taking him over Luca right now?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Come on, man, here you go with these games taking him.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Over Luca right so, you're not taking him over Lucas.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
I picked him, I put my vote in. I said
what I said, He's the best right now. So good,
this can change. This is the league.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
You can't do.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I'm not Luca is right now.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
If you put Brunson on Dalla with Kyrie, they beating
the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I mean that's a different lineup. Look at sixty seven
you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
All right, So if you put Luke on the Knicks,
do they beat six or Snight?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I don't know all that Brunton handling his business. If
you don't, you got to play the what if game?
Brunst is are youre killing? Are you watching? You were
watching the games? Brunton is killing. We don't need to
know what if we're end season in the playoffs. Brunton
is handling his business. Know what I said last time,
Brunton is killing. What I said, he's your number one
(31:35):
guy right now. You said it earlier. That's why I
was quiet.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Now you're going away from your own stuff. Stick to
your stuff, you the truth, Stick to your ship.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
What's my ship?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
You said, Brunson, you gave a whole solitically.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I shut up. I didn't.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I kicked back.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And he's changed the best in the playoffs. I didn't
say he was.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Ain't that what we talk about from let's talk how
we talk? Now? You're saying, we talk about play off basketball?
That's what everything? This is, everything in our life is
playoff basketball. The season is cute. You cute eighty two games.
You did your thing. Now you go home, you go
to can Coon. You're partying with No Diddy, you're doing
all that. This is the time when we was in

It's over you told us that. You told us, look,
we're in can Cone, were chilling. I ain't coming in
here with y'all know.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I want to say this to this so I want
to say this. You said that.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I want to say this to the camera. I'm sorry
to New York Knicks. I was unfamiliar with y'all game.
I disrespected. Brun said, all right, I apologize. I was
unfamiliar with y'all game. But y'all made it to the
second round. I got I got a Brunson jersey on
(32:48):
the way. I should be here any day now.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
And I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Doing the most with the least, uh, based on what
everybody else is doing in the league. Because when I
look at the nixt second best player, who is it.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Josh Hart, it's the Villanova I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Just saying, who's the second best player in the next
right now?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
It's the crew? Both of them?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Who's the second best?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Both of them?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I said, what even if?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Who is them? To?
Speaker 3 (33:23):

ready to celebrate Villanova. Hard dudes, No Diddy, hard.

Dude, even I can't figure over the Yeah, when you
say no, Didny you clear? If they say come right

Speaker 3 (34:10):
As long as you say why, that's when they invented pause.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
To the party. They got a bunch of hard dudes.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
No Diddy, you gotta be right right there on it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
That's how it is, you sense No, So.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Look, moving forward, moving forward, He said, Indiana, you got Indiana,
New York, you got New York.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I got New York.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
And how many games?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I think they're gonna do what they just did. They're
gonna beat them in Indy. I'm gonna be at that
game if possible.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Know what I'm saying. Do you think Indiana got the
grit to hang with him though?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah? Of course they competitors. Yeah, had a burden, Like
I said, he has a case.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Got home court advantage.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah, the gardens back the garden.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Oh my god, the playoffs are incredible. We gotta pick
a side. So do you pick jokers. I'm gonna pick
the jokers.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I got jokers. Yeah, I got jack.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
So after that, we got mm hmm, Clippers, Mavericks. That's
that's going down. Who you got?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I got the Mavericks, I got the Mavericks, Clippers unhealthy
and then don't look.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Like Celtics versus everybody.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
What's else is playing.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
It doesn't matter, It does not matter. So just going
to the finals, Yes, go ahead and put your money
on it.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Your finals prediction, Celtics is somebody who are coming out
the West.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
We don't see. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Celtics.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
But you can't say the West, no prediction, say somebody anybody.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
The Celtics is walking in there. But you know how
you look at your schedule in the playoff and when
you get the playoff thing and you just know the
Celtics got rollovers. They can't anything happened. No, they're not.
They're not talking like that. They're in They're like, we
got a cupcakes. That's what they own.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
You gotta know.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
We talk all this stuff on the media, but you
know when you're playing cupcakes and you know when you
got real games, they gotta win. Everybody's wounded. This is
they're too talented. They're going to be in the finals.
Everything else is I'm wain't in the c man it's
a battle. I mean, it's easy to pick later. Who
you think prediction now, I don't know. I wouldn't be
surprised if Dallas get to the finals.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
All right, so Dallas Celtics. His prediction Dallas.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
No, it's not I said. I said in Boston versus somebody,
we're going to these next let's respected. Let's respected my
next round wins. Right now, I got, I got Denver,
and I'm gonna go ahead and skip.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
You think they got Dallas clip finals? So you think
Dallas is gonna be Clippers. You said that, okay See,
it's gonna defeat Dallas, and then okay see is gonna
see Denver?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yes, so you got Denver going to the finals. No,
you don't think, okay See, I don't know. Let me
see how okay See build their game. I'm watching, I'm studying.
I want to see how okay See build themselves up.
Right now, I got okay See in Denver in the
Western Conference finals as as far as as as far
as I can project right now, I gotta see, I
(37:29):
gotta see. I got Boston, Boston like this, Boston already
call it like y'all got our hotel. We end when
we hit. Okay, hold up.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
You don't know where you're going, you're gonna order a hotel.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
They gotta get meals for either way they go, they
gonna book.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
If you don't know what city you Denver or Okay.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
See, you just.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Put a deposit down and wasting.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
If you do the posits, we gotta see meal plans
and all that. We got people in charge of this.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
You can do that in the day, though.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
No, we need to have organized. What's we're winning we
now as we Yeah, Celtics, I'm with the winners. Whoever wins.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
That was the most running You're the most front running
fan ever. Yes, whoever's going, that's who you're the fan of.
That's who your team is. Yes, roll with the Indiana tomorrow.
You're like Indiana to the finals.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Did he like the and and the Damon Jones said
it best. Roll with the winners. That's what I do.
Who you predicted to win it all, that's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
So if you said Celis came, goalt to the finals,
you don't think Celtics gonna win it all. I'm gonna
see how they deal with Joker. Get So you got
Joker going to the final, Joker.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Beat the Celtics. Celtics beat. Okay, see you listen to this,
no no, no prediction.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Then I just said I said, Joker beat the Celtics.
Celtics beat. Okay, See I got Denver and okay see
see you see.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Me got it?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
You see what I want?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
You see what I want?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
All right, I don't see, but I got Celtics beating. Okay.
See if okay, see happens to beat them.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
So if it's okay, see Celtics, you got Celtics don't.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Have no bench, I mean, do porter God deal with
something else? He had another brother get arrested, like it's
just crazy.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Brunston just averaged thirty five on forty nine percent shooting.
Haller Burton is averaging nineteen point seven on fifty one
percent shooting.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Thirteen assists.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Battle to point guards, I think whoever wins the point
guard matchup is gonna win that series.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Now Brunst is gonna win the point guard matchups? I
don't know, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
He's because because if Brunton is scoring, say if bruns
is scoring like thirty but he's got low assists, but
then haller Burton is giving you like twenty three and thirteen.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Well, you're right, I'm gonna say you what I'm saying. No,
I'm gonna say you're right because of this, because the
TJ McConnell effect. It's point guard by committee with these guys.
TJ just had a career high. He just let them
and scoring tonight. So yeah, playoff career. So them two
as a combination is putting the pressure on Brunton. Can
Miles McBride give them something? You know, the offset.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I'm not gonna allow.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Hard to be just domin on the board because I
think I believe Indiana's a little more got more grit
to him. They got more more players that just got
some to him. Man, I think.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
They got them.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I don't know about all that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
I want to go that want to come on?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Okay, you know what I'm saying. They got some players,
They got some some.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Them shoulders up, We're gonna get We're gonna do a
thousand shoulder presses today.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
That's what That's what vill shout out Jay Wright Hall
of Fame. Uh, this is jo making because he got
the Villanova guys got this New York team, saved their life,
his culture saved the New York. Let's keep it real.
The culture of the fight, the grid, the way these
guys play. You think you think Indiana got guys better
(41:11):
than these guys, No way, Nope.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I got Indiana in this series. Yeah in six.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
It's the hater in you, that New York hate. It's
the Boston New York.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Because I have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
You just gave Brunson all the privt and.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
You I praised one, but I don't think that's good
enough to be the better. A team that.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Got more than said these guys is tougher. I don't
know who's tougher right now. Indiana should watch some toughness.
They lost two games to a depleted Milwaukee team that
was out there.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
I mean they got some fight, greed, They got greed.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Patrick Beverley out there, Come on, they got greed, bok
Brook low Pay has got fight, Middleton got fight.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
You act like they ain't gritty Porters fight.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
He was kicked out the game that he was all
he had dog though, Yeah they got dogs over there,
So we got dogs like Philly didn't have no dogs.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
To me, they had they had Maxi as a dog
and b.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
I mean, I guess you could say, oh brave, but
the rest of them was acting like they didn't want
no smoke. So when you ain't got five guys he
don't want no smoke, then it's tough.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
M So you got Indiana, Okay, we got New York.
I got New.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
York, Indiana New York. I got Dallas closing it out.
I got Celtics whoever they play versus Orlando. They gonna whatever.
