They got all the expectators, they wouldn't made trades and
deal to get Polo and them more people around them

Yeah, they're gonna win the day.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
They're gonna make it out this year.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Okay, then play both sides of the bit. They never
made it out, mad, I tell you what, I tell
you what. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Whether they make it in and out, they didn't do
themselves no favors by putting themselves in it. They had
a chance to to to get themselves the rest. Give
give the Curry the rest he needed with his thumb
or whatever the finger he got, the issue going on,
he got, You got Butler, He got Butler with his
with it with his thigh or his knee, he got
(04:55):
ran into. They really needed to win that game, man,
so that they wouldn't even be in this situation. You
know the Draymond Green talk. Now, it ain't looking so hot.
That's all I'm gonna say. A Q. You sounded like
go stay hey, you sound like go say older than
motherfucker boy, because look look at them problem problems ship. Hey,

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Everybody talking about gold take up winning night because they
had a home too, and this and that. I don't
know if that boy John come to play, like I
know he is, no Cola played and his hey, hey
and the big boy couldna played. Jackson Golstate might be
in trouble because hey, one thing, even short, it's been
shown they ain't good in these games.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So all I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Saying is be careful what everybody is saying that God
say is gonna win this game.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Maybe might come and put at night.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And and I'm gonna know what funk that I'm gonna
say it members go win his motherfuckering game, Like let's.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Go remembers tonight. I said, Hey, I'm gonna say this. Okay,
I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I think it depends what it deppends what Joe shows
up tonight, if the Joy has been around the last
two weeks shows up, and if they can get just
a little bit from Jackson, and if your boy two
guards can show up the bang the deesn't Bang can
show up. Then, I tell you he's gonna say Warriors
(06:22):
could be in trouble.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I got a lot of friends of the Warrior fans,
and I got this motherfucker called himself with the fishing Odo.
We all know them right, and he's the worst s
And I'm going with you tonight. I'm gonna say, fuck
the Warriors. They gonna have to go beat the winner
of the nine ten game in order to get to
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I'm going with Memphis the night too. Let's go Memphis.
I'm down with Joab.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Baby, I'm writing this shit down because that's that ain't
gonna happen. The warrist was twenty three and eight before
when they got Butler. All right, so if all that
other boy y'all start y'all talking about the Warriors can
win the night.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Agily, well, I got I gotta I got a quick
for you. They were twenty three and eight. What was
they record before Sunday when Clippers went there? Who they as.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
One of the leg one of the hot in the
league right now.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Game I said, but I mean, but you said that
carry is the best point God and he's this and
that and he at home in a big game where the.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Fun was he that all gonna get fifty, that he's
gonna get fifty to night. Fifty. No, no, no, if
you like that America ship, you know what that.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Al right, this jo we gotta we got we made
our bridges for that one. We got on the record,
We got me and Martin saying that's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And we had tweety called down fifty to night.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Anybody in California, he called, He's gonna take the same ship,
so he take.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I'm gonna take gold State to win. To put me
on ready, go take to win?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Okay, day, all right, now we're transition over to the
nineteen matter.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, we're already talking about the real ship. Let's talk
about real ship.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The nineteen game doesn't really matter because for anyone that
doesn't know how it works, the seven and eighteen play
the winner that advances to take the seventh seed. The
other the other team then played the winner of the
nineteen game, and the winner of that game is the
A seed. So really, what I would expect to see
when is all over, I expect to see Golden State
and Memphis playing on the Western Conference, then on the
(08:28):
Eastern Conference. We got this one. We already talked to
Orlando in Atlanta. Well, you know, we'll see what happens.
Slip a coin and uh and we'll go from there.
But now let's transition over. Let's talk about the real ship.
We got four series and some hot motherfucking series land
up schedule to start next week. First one, I'm gonna
(08:49):
turn to the Eastern Conference. We're gonna go with our
resident homeer on the Detroit side.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Even though I'm talking to a bad boy shirt on.
That's right, Davy, Hey, they lose it. I'm gonna jumping bitches,
all right.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
But anyway, go ahead, when you start us offering the
Detroit and New York Knick series, what you think about that?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You know what I think?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You see right now when we get ready to talk
about these boys, I look over at my cousin face
and I see that look and look a word because
he don't know, you know, them Knicks, them Knicks, been
all them Nicks. He've been preaching all season. But I'm
gonna tell you what. The Pistons beat their ass three times.
They're out of the full times. They beat their ass
(09:32):
three times. And the first thing my cousin would run
to and say to you, is that well, we wasn't
at full strength, but one of those times we were
at full strimp.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
When we beat that ass.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And not only that, not only that, we can always
argue that we lost our starting shooting guard early in
the season. You know, so anytime you're gonna talk injury,
we lost our starting Jay n Ivy at the beginning
of disease. You know, match up problems all the way around.
You know, Uh, we got we got, we got two bigs,
(10:03):
two bigs, mess with your boys. We got Darren, we
got we got Stewart. They they ready, they ready, they
gonna get they fall, they fouls. Wisely, they play a
style of ball that you're big big man and Townsend
don't like to play, which is physical. You don't like
to play physical. He's a finet center, you know. You
(10:24):
know he wanted to sit out there. You know you
want them to dazzle you. But he ain't no here,
you don't. He don't want to hit you with the
with with the pounders. So we're gonna we got you there,
We got you there. So I'm gonna pick my Pistons
to win in seventh that's what I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Pistons and seven and Mark he respond to that, Q, hey, Q,
that shit sound as good as hell. That shit signed
as good as hell.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Cutting haam hey kind of have has been a beast
throughout the season, Durham. I love dream that that big
boy in the middle. I mean everything he tells me
that is a Pistons gonna win this series. I mean
they was the foe. I mean, you know, everything is
going their favorite, Everything is going their favorite. But I
guess the motherfucking what the niggas go? What that crazy
(11:10):
what they have? Because the Spears is gonna come to play.
Don't get me wrong. The Pittons had a great season.
They had a great season, But I'm telling you, in
the playoffs is a different fucking animal and the next
will win in six.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Wait, wait that Ryan didn't Knicks and six. Let's go bang. Okay,
heard what you said. I'm gonna say this. The regular
season is not a pre curacter for the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
So I would say being winning three out of four
in the regular season, I don't mean shit right. What
I would say is this, I appreciate watching the Pistons.
I think the Pistons have made huge strides. I think
for me, when when I look at it, when it
comes down to it, for me, is the person's gotta
show up for the Pistons that hasn't shown up through
the courts river for them to be able to make
(11:58):
it a series. Beza hit all these fucking three during
the regular season. In the playoffs, that motherfucker's always been
a noose show. So Beasley's gonna be one of the
big players that's got to show can't get his can
can't go take care of his better.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I think if.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
They are are smart, then that you put your toe
on the water with bees and you put them in there,
and if he ain't showing up, he's the defensive liability,
then you pull it. But I think it's all said
and done you when you play it all out. I
think you got a lot of big game players who
on that next side. You got the experience the pictures
at first, you getting back into the playoffs, they gotta
(12:35):
feel their way around. I think the Knicks win win
this series, and actually I think they win it kind
of easy because the Pistons.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Will be more dangers this year than this year.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think the next win for the one the Knicks
are going to one. They're gonna be the pitsiness for
one in this fucking series. Bit Hey, America, this mother
forgot on a Detroit shirt and said, we only gonna
win one game versus the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Hey, I'm keeping the real ain't that ain't real, That
ain't really.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
He ain't with y'all, is gonna he ain't gonna he
ain't gonna show up. Be ain't gonna showup because I.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Know that's what I Sakers play for. The Lakers know.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
To Timperdeau, probably run the boys. They gonna they gonna
do them starting minutes that that they be running for
the Knicks. They gonna do like forty forty five minutes
for the Knicks. But I'm gonna pick the Knicks in seven.
I'm gonna pick the Necks in seven. That's one I
wrong with.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You know what, f fial, go ahead, and I'm gonna
say you the difference is going to be is that
motherfucker Brunson. That boy is the real fucking deal Brunson.
It's gonna be the difference in the series. Four games
and one. He can't k Look, look, the Pistons have
a great shot to beating these boys, mark it down,
(13:57):
this bookt this, this this stuff, y'all is crazy. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Let's go Detroit next one. All right, now we're gonna
move it over.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
We're gonna talk the next next series in the East,
a matchup from last year.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Right, and and.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Also with this one, I'll lead it off and I
tossed up you got Also with this one, the Bucks
won the season series three to one over Indiana. Can
the Bucks take that into the playoffs to do the
exact same thing? I think when I look at this series,
the big people for me to got to show up.
If you look at the Bucks, Gianna's is gonna fucking
get here. It ain't nobody stoppings. Gianna's gonna get his his, his, thirty,
(14:35):
his ten, and it's nine, it's eight.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Down's gonna get hit.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But what I will tell you with the changes they
made and with Dame out they say Dame had a chance,
is they made it to the next series.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
He ain't gonna be in for this series. Order Jr.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Who's Fenish surgeon to start the line up, he got
show up, but he was playing Kevin Boord Bree playing
good and he got the line up I think he's
a good change that pays for him. He gets some
easy buckets in the in transition, I think he's a
big player for and the end just coming back Bobby
Porter's got to do his thing.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
He's got to come off the bench. He gotta be
able to help him to sustain.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
On that side. On the other side. But I'm gonna
tell you is the heartbeat. And I was before the
heartbeat that this one of the players that surprisingly has
been a huge contributor for Indiana that things got to
show up is topping popping, hitting the three and doing
it the different things he does.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I think he's gonna be a key player for Indiana
this year.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
And then I'll tell you the heartbeat and the person
that ultimately makes the difference than when the loser is Halliburton.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Halliburton's gotta be aggressive.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
When he's aggressive and he challenges and the push the ball,
challenges the paint and then kicks it back out for shooters,
then they're a much better team than when he plays
less aggressively. I think when I throw it, I put
it all together and I mix it up. I just
like what I'm feeling lately with the Bucks I'm taking
the fucking Bucks. The buck stops here, ganas Keeve vance
(15:59):
in the next round. Let's go who wants to go next?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
All right?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Even though Indiana beat the Bucks last year, right, that
was cool and all, But I'm going move Milwaukee this
year to beat them. To beat the Indiana, I'm going
with Kyle Kuzma. He gonna be one of the X
factors in his game. Kyle Kuzma for the Bucks. He
gotta show up, he gotta make some shots. So I'm
(16:22):
gonna go with Milwaukee to win in seven.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Did you say Kyle Kuzman because he was an egg Laker.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I mean, I'm just saying, God, damn, I'm gonna see
the guy lager bullshit.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Okay, Okay, I'm gonna tell you all right, now, what's
gonna happen in this series?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Y'all tripping, y'all tripping for real? Indiana, Pagy's gonna beat
the Bucks.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
The Bucks.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I'm gonna tell you something. The Bucks fucked up these
last couple of years. In my opinion, How you win
a championship, right, How you win a championship and then
you gonna make all these bucket changes and ship no
keep rolling what you got. They messed up when they
got with a holiday.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
That was the first.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
That was that was the biggest thing they did. They
messed up, got rid of the holiday. And then you
turn around to get give her the militant too. Now,
I know militant was troubled with injuries, this and that.
But until somebody beat that core work with with with
the green freak and holiday and oh boy, militant with
them three and mighty beat that three. But they all good.
(17:25):
Then I'm keeping that three. Why are you gonna win
the championship in this? Put it all up? So I'm
just saying, and I thought, yeah, so I think Indiana
the number.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I think IANA's gonna beat them. I thinka will win
in six, Indiana in six. Whatever. Look look, look, look
all right, look at you. You just said, why split
it up?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yes, they lost holiday, but they still got everybody else,
don't they?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
No, you still got everybody else. They still they still
got middletown. My bad, my bad, my bed on that. Well.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You know, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what
I'll tell you. I tell you what I tell you.
I'll tell you what. The last six games the Milwaukee
Bucks have been on a tear. And you know why
they've been on a tear because they don't put the
ball in Gianna's hands, let him play point forward down,
(18:22):
They letting, they took they took the reins off and
just pretty much let us say, you know what, like
Lebrin back in the day, Hey do your thing. And
those games, okay, he gaveraged thirty four points, yep, and
five of those six games he's he's uh, he's he's
a double digit assist. So if as long as he
(18:46):
can do that and and put and take them to
that level, they can be successful and they'll win this series.
They'll win this series on that, on on him alone.
I'm not saying it's gonna take him to the Promised Land,
but it'll be enough to get him past this series.
You know, if he can just do the way he's
been doing these last six games or whatever, they continue
to do that and be the facilitator and just the
(19:07):
dog on both sides of the ball, I think that
he will, uh, the Bucks will win this series.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
And if he got the.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Ball, and if he had the ball in his hands,
the motherfucker gotta make his free throw.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Number one of his playoff time nine, the.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Fuck out the Bulls, and the number the last six games.
Number two things, well, this is the playoffs now though,
Now make these motherfuckers down in the count now. Number
two things I say about the series is that the
Bucks have to do and I'm counting doing it is
you got to slow down and transition. They're the one
of the worst transition to the team to the league.
(19:41):
They gotta step that ship up in the playoffs and
the Bucks will put it off. I said the Bucks already.
I'm saying the Bucks is six. The Bucks winn series, you.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Know, the worst with them.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Go ahead, y'all saying, y'all said, and that Damien Ligard
is holding this team back?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Is that what youy'all saying?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
What I'm telling you, what I'm telling you is is
when you got a good chemistry and Drew Howiday is
one of the most underraty players in the league.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yes, that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Because one thing about Dame, he's a great scorer, and
I love Dame, but I'm just saying, oh, the defense
side of the ball, you won't find him. So that's
what they won by playing defense and stuff like that.
I'm telling you, and I know I'm not gonna Dame,
but all I'm saying is with with I Drew playing
that defense and Middleton playing that defense and the Green
(20:32):
Freak playing that d and that was.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
A good That was a good core with them three.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, they fucked up by getting rid of Drew Howiday
and bringing the Dame.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Yes they did barbecue brother, but you but him being out.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I think it actually helped to improve their defense. Dame
the real deal. But I think the Bucks say, you guys,
you got it here. We've made our our selection. But
this we're gonna move on now to the Western Conference.
Everyone everyone believes that the Western Conference is going to
be the most competitive conference evident. By it was the
(21:13):
last fucking day before it was decided. All the positions
were decided in the conference. That gives you an idea
how the parody is. So, I think you're gonna have
some knockout efforts here. Where lower seated teams might be Howard,
higher cheating teams. You're gonna see some shaking up in
the Western Conference. We're gonna start it with the Minnesota
(21:34):
timber Woods.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
An act man.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Versus the motherfucking Lakers, with Brian, Brian the King baby
and Luca, Hey Lee LEI tweety running.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
What you got? Okay?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
And man, he gonna come up small against these lost
ange Lakers small because you know they come on, Yes
they are.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
He gonna come up small, Okay, Okay. They split the series.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
They split the series this this season too, too, But
they didn't have Luca in the first three games of
the series of the of the series of the season.
So and Luca is averaging thirty points, eight nine rebounds,
eight nine assists.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Okay, so okay.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
And ever since they did that trade, the Lakers been
playing out our standard. So I'm like Shannon Shark, I say,
Lakers in five.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I guess then, is the Muscles five niggas in five?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Okay, Hey, Mark, Mark the next I go off, hold this.
I mean now, as much as I want to disagree
with it, because no, I'm not a Laker fan, I'm
a I'm a let brown guy, but I can't say
the fucking Lakers, I do think the Lakers win the
series only because Minnesota they.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Played dumb basketball.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
In my opinion, at Man, if a man plays smart,
and at Man was going that goddamn basket and then forcing.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
The tumble and everything else.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The Lakers will be in trouble, but at May gonna
come out shooting threes and ship. He the best player
on the floor right now if he if he huger skills,
he could be the best.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Play in the four. But he gonna come out try
to shoot threes and ship.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
So I do think the Lakers will win this series,
just on office Spaniens and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
So I think the Legas will win. I give Minnesota
two games.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I think Leagas look men agreeing. Uh, people talk about
the Lakers defense ain't the greatest. You know that that
big man is is really fucking him up. You know
they use them Lebron and and hot you morow down
there and fucking uh it centers and ship everybody.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
It is a dunk. It's a fucking dunk line.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But when you play stupid basketball, like Martin say, if
plays in your favorite because man ain't gonna take it
to the hole like you should. Because lately he's been
hitting three. See I'm fell in love with his fucking
jump shot. So you know, I'm still thinking, Yeah, Lakers
in about six is what I'm gonna roll with.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And you know that's what I believe.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I think for me, when I look at this one,
I think this series comes down to crunch time.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I think the games are going to be close.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So I think when you talk about crunch time and
you got Lebron and you have Luca on the one side,
I think that's pretty formidable.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
And unless you have a these of the team that is.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Going to be able to stop them, contain them and
keep them at lower percentage during the end of the game,
and be able to score on the other side.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
That I think you're in trouble now.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I think when I look at the series and I
boil it all down, one of the things the moves
that I haven't seen. I think where this series can
become competitive, but I think the Layer's still winning. Where
this series can become competitive is if they sit Rudy's
ass down in the big moments.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Now, Finch hasn't proven that he would do that.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
The last couple of years, he's been riding the Rudy train,
and because Rudy was the defense plader, you know that
bullshit Rudy in these series, he gets targeted and defeeling liability,
sit his mother ass down on the bench, and you
gotta make sure that you go with uh something with
one of the other guys to come in and be
(25:24):
able to close out. Rudy's not that guy I say,
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
No, say I'm saying lak th six. I think men
had a chance, but I don't think like the way
they need to in order to win.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I'm gonna be the fourth best on the floor behind Luca,
huh Lebron.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
And a R drunk.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Let us stop this ship, sweet, I'm not about listening
to this bullshit tonight. Not if you say you know
what I'm gonna say that ship You say that guy? Ye?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Are you watch your mother player? Man? You better stop
this ship.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, time we start wrapping it up your picks.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Let's roll through this last series real quick. We gotta
do this because we, as Nina said, eight of our time.
So hey, Denver in the Clippers, what we think real quick?
We gotta do this fast and Crims win in seven games?
Crimmers winning seven Clippers is seven. I got fucking Denver.
I ain't thinking. I can't think Clippers for ship. Fuck
(26:36):
that Denver winning, Denver winning six?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Okay, what what.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I would say about this series? Look, when you make
dumb ass decisions. There comes a point when you have
to own up to those decisions. They're gonna get in
the trenches. Just the playoffs. Now, this is the regular season.
Denver gonna get in the trenches this year. And think
when they look over and they have the jover, that's
gonna be enough. And it's not gonna be enough the Clippers.
As much I hate to beat the Clippers today, I
(27:02):
don't know Kui making the series. The Clippers win this series,
they win, they win the series six because Denver is
going to be needing the coach and make those big
decisions and they won't happen.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
All right, and then let's wrap this up.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Yes I say if quite will get hurt Clippers in seven?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
All right, all right, guys, well here first today we
had a lot going on. Let us know in the
coach below what you think about everyone's picks?
Speaker 3 (27:33):

And look a word because he don't know you know,
them Knicks. Them Knick's been all the Knicks. He's been
preaching all season. But I'm gonna tell you what if
this is beat they ass three times, they're out of
the full time.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hi, everyone, welcome back to Hood Report prodcat here and
we always got some good stuff to talk about.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So here we are.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We are talking about the NBA Playoffs.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Previews, so we got a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We're kind of talking a little bit about upsets, matchups,
you know, a little bit of everything. So what we're
going to do is we're gonna starting in with a
big play in a recap and I'm gonna let him
take it a take it home, guys, let's get it started,
all right.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well, tweet, go ahead, why don't you hit his first one?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Blas playing game tonight, that's going on right now, the
Atlanta Hawks against the Orlando Magic. This game right here,
Orlando just gonna run over Atlanta Hawks because they.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
They're too long, they're too experienced.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
They're not experienced, but the experience, he ain't got no experience.
It's just the Orlando Orlando Magic is just too long
for them. And and uh, the Hawks. They only got
Trey Young.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You want to do something, I.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Don't know about the experienced part, Tweetie. You know Atlanta's
got more playoff experience than UH than or Atlanta right now,
if I if I would have to go with that. Yeah,
they are down, but you know who knows, we'll see,
we'll see im.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm gonna tell you is right now Atlanta taking care
of business. But it's still a lot of time left.
It's only the third quarter. Don't be shy to Alta
make that run because because you know one thing for
show that boy Trey, he gonna come laying the game.
So this game made nowhere near over. So don't be
food back sco the third quarter. Nothing nothing I'll take.
(02:00):
Is this probably the most disappointing team this season? Or
Magic Orlando Road High last season made it to the
playoffs and they were number four seeds.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Not play game. They better beat Atlanta of the day.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
They got all the expectators, they wouldn't made trades and
deal to get Polo and them more people around them
and this and they got a subpart season.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
So I hope they do show up and I hope
they do win.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
They need to get their answer to the regular playoffs
and not be studying the playing I don't even.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Know nobody on the damn Orlando Magic team. Who in
the hell of wh who is they playing? Who are
they on teams?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Orlando? What's the name? Who else? Who else? All start they?
I mean the talent average average number twenty points a
(02:58):
game this season.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And you got ben Chiro, right, you got Black It
just came in from Arkansas on the team.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You have Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Sugs, who's hurt? That's what the team just because you
don't know ship about him to you don't mean the
TV these ain't said that. Yeah, look, I don't care
what you know what. Don't be disspectful, don't be don't
(03:29):
be dispec like that. That boy was big of y'all
deep visitly that thing.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, it was, I like us. Don't like him like that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
He was.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
He was a very good for the Lakes when we
won that championship in the bubble and the bubble.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Hey, Orlando, I just want to say this, Orlando to
the Magic players, don't take this disrespectfully.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
This nigga just don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
About the transition over today. Everybody should know something about
you had the gold save Warriors against the here we Go,
hang her name, Here we go who want to keep getting.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Off all right now?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
You know?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Or the Warriors they have never won out of the
in the in play tournament. They have never won when
they in the in the intern playment and the internal.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Out.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, they're gonna win the day.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
They're gonna make it out this year.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Okay, then play both sides of the bit. They never
made it out, mad, I tell you what, I tell
you what. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Whether they make it in and out, they didn't do
themselves no favors by putting themselves in it. They had
a chance to to to get themselves the rest. Give
give the Curry the rest he needed with his thumb
or whatever the finger he got, the issue going on,
he got, You got Butler, He got Butler with his
with it with his thigh or his knee, he got
(04:55):
ran into. They really needed to win that game, man,
so that they wouldn't even be in this situation. You
know the Draymond Green talk. Now, it ain't looking so hot.
That's all I'm gonna say. A Q. You sounded like
go stay hey, you sound like go say older than
motherfucker boy, because look look at them problem problems ship. Hey,
(05:17):
niggas gonna say it. These motherfucker is old. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
And I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Everybody talking about gold take up winning night because they
had a home too, and this and that. I don't
know if that boy John come to play, like I
know he is, no Cola played and his hey, hey
and the big boy couldna played. Jackson Golstate might be
in trouble because hey, one thing, even short, it's been
shown they ain't good in these games.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So all I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Saying is be careful what everybody is saying that God
say is gonna win this game.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Maybe might come and put at night.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And and I'm gonna know what funk that I'm gonna
say it members go win his motherfuckering game, Like let's.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Go remembers tonight. I said, Hey, I'm gonna say this. Okay,
I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I think it depends what it deppends what Joe shows
up tonight, if the Joy has been around the last
two weeks shows up, and if they can get just
a little bit from Jackson, and if your boy two
guards can show up the bang the deesn't Bang can
show up. Then, I tell you he's gonna say Warriors
(06:22):
could be in trouble.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I got a lot of friends of the Warrior fans,
and I got this motherfucker called himself with the fishing Odo.
We all know them right, and he's the worst s
And I'm going with you tonight. I'm gonna say, fuck
the Warriors. They gonna have to go beat the winner
of the nine ten game in order to get to
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I'm going with Memphis the night too. Let's go Memphis.
I'm down with Joab.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Baby, I'm writing this shit down because that's that ain't
gonna happen. The warrist was twenty three and eight before
when they got Butler. All right, so if all that
other boy y'all start y'all talking about the Warriors can
win the night.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Agily, well, I got I gotta I got a quick
for you. They were twenty three and eight. What was
they record before Sunday when Clippers went there? Who they as.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
One of the leg one of the hot in the
league right now.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Game I said, but I mean, but you said that
carry is the best point God and he's this and
that and he at home in a big game where the.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Fun was he that all gonna get fifty, that he's
gonna get fifty to night. Fifty. No, no, no, if
you like that America ship, you know what that.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Al right, this jo we gotta we got we made
our bridges for that one. We got on the record,
We got me and Martin saying that's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And we had tweety called down fifty to night.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Anybody in California, he called, He's gonna take the same ship,
so he take.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I'm gonna take gold State to win. To put me
on ready, go take to win?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Okay, day, all right, now we're transition over to the
nineteen matter.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, we're already talking about the real ship. Let's talk
about real ship.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The nineteen game doesn't really matter because for anyone that
doesn't know how it works, the seven and eighteen play
the winner that advances to take the seventh seed. The
other the other team then played the winner of the
nineteen game, and the winner of that game is the
A seed. So really, what I would expect to see
when is all over, I expect to see Golden State
and Memphis playing on the Western Conference, then on the
(08:28):
Eastern Conference. We got this one. We already talked to
Orlando in Atlanta. Well, you know, we'll see what happens.
Slip a coin and uh and we'll go from there.
But now let's transition over. Let's talk about the real ship.
We got four series and some hot motherfucking series land
up schedule to start next week. First one, I'm gonna
(08:49):
turn to the Eastern Conference. We're gonna go with our
resident homeer on the Detroit side.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Even though I'm talking to a bad boy shirt on.
That's right, Davy, Hey, they lose it. I'm gonna jumping bitches,
all right.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
But anyway, go ahead, when you start us offering the
Detroit and New York Knick series, what you think about that?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You know what I think?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You see right now when we get ready to talk
about these boys, I look over at my cousin face
and I see that look and look a word because
he don't know, you know, them Knicks, them Knicks, been
all them Nicks. He've been preaching all season. But I'm
gonna tell you what. The Pistons beat their ass three times.
They're out of the full times. They beat their ass
(09:32):
three times. And the first thing my cousin would run
to and say to you, is that well, we wasn't
at full strength, but one of those times we were
at full strimp.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
When we beat that ass.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And not only that, not only that, we can always
argue that we lost our starting shooting guard early in
the season. You know, so anytime you're gonna talk injury,
we lost our starting Jay n Ivy at the beginning
of disease. You know, match up problems all the way around.
You know, Uh, we got we got, we got two bigs,
(10:03):
two bigs, mess with your boys. We got Darren, we
got we got Stewart. They they ready, they ready, they
gonna get they fall, they fouls. Wisely, they play a
style of ball that you're big big man and Townsend
don't like to play, which is physical. You don't like
to play physical. He's a finet center, you know. You
(10:24):
know he wanted to sit out there. You know you
want them to dazzle you. But he ain't no here,
you don't. He don't want to hit you with the
with with the pounders. So we're gonna we got you there,
We got you there. So I'm gonna pick my Pistons
to win in seventh that's what I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Pistons and seven and Mark he respond to that, Q, hey, Q,
that shit sound as good as hell. That shit signed
as good as hell.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Cutting haam hey kind of have has been a beast
throughout the season, Durham. I love dream that that big
boy in the middle. I mean everything he tells me
that is a Pistons gonna win this series. I mean
they was the foe. I mean, you know, everything is
going their favorite, Everything is going their favorite. But I
guess the motherfucking what the niggas go? What that crazy
(11:10):
what they have? Because the Spears is gonna come to play.
Don't get me wrong. The Pittons had a great season.
They had a great season, But I'm telling you, in
the playoffs is a different fucking animal and the next
will win in six.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Wait, wait that Ryan didn't Knicks and six. Let's go bang. Okay,
heard what you said. I'm gonna say this. The regular
season is not a pre curacter for the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
So I would say being winning three out of four
in the regular season, I don't mean shit right. What
I would say is this, I appreciate watching the Pistons.
I think the Pistons have made huge strides. I think
for me, when when I look at it, when it
comes down to it, for me, is the person's gotta
show up for the Pistons that hasn't shown up through
the courts river for them to be able to make
(11:58):
it a series. Beza hit all these fucking three during
the regular season. In the playoffs, that motherfucker's always been
a noose show. So Beasley's gonna be one of the
big players that's got to show can't get his can
can't go take care of his better.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I think if.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
They are are smart, then that you put your toe
on the water with bees and you put them in there,
and if he ain't showing up, he's the defensive liability,
then you pull it. But I think it's all said
and done you when you play it all out. I
think you got a lot of big game players who
on that next side. You got the experience the pictures
at first, you getting back into the playoffs, they gotta
(12:35):
feel their way around. I think the Knicks win win
this series, and actually I think they win it kind
of easy because the Pistons.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Will be more dangers this year than this year.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think the next win for the one the Knicks
are going to one. They're gonna be the pitsiness for
one in this fucking series. Bit Hey, America, this mother
forgot on a Detroit shirt and said, we only gonna
win one game versus the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Hey, I'm keeping the real ain't that ain't real, That
ain't really.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
He ain't with y'all, is gonna he ain't gonna he
ain't gonna show up. Be ain't gonna showup because I.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Know that's what I Sakers play for. The Lakers know.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
To Timperdeau, probably run the boys. They gonna they gonna
do them starting minutes that that they be running for
the Knicks. They gonna do like forty forty five minutes
for the Knicks. But I'm gonna pick the Knicks in seven.
I'm gonna pick the Necks in seven. That's one I
wrong with.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You know what, f fial, go ahead, and I'm gonna
say you the difference is going to be is that
motherfucker Brunson. That boy is the real fucking deal Brunson.
It's gonna be the difference in the series. Four games
and one. He can't k Look, look, the Pistons have
a great shot to beating these boys, mark it down,
(13:57):
this bookt this, this this stuff, y'all is crazy. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Let's go Detroit next one. All right, now we're gonna
move it over.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
We're gonna talk the next next series in the East,
a matchup from last year.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Right, and and.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Also with this one, I'll lead it off and I
tossed up you got Also with this one, the Bucks
won the season series three to one over Indiana. Can
the Bucks take that into the playoffs to do the
exact same thing? I think when I look at this series,
the big people for me to got to show up.
If you look at the Bucks, Gianna's is gonna fucking
get here. It ain't nobody stoppings. Gianna's gonna get his his, his, thirty,
(14:35):
his ten, and it's nine, it's eight.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Down's gonna get hit.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But what I will tell you with the changes they
made and with Dame out they say Dame had a chance,
is they made it to the next series.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
He ain't gonna be in for this series. Order Jr.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Who's Fenish surgeon to start the line up, he got
show up, but he was playing Kevin Boord Bree playing
good and he got the line up I think he's
a good change that pays for him. He gets some
easy buckets in the in transition, I think he's a
big player for and the end just coming back Bobby
Porter's got to do his thing.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
He's got to come off the bench. He gotta be
able to help him to sustain.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
On that side. On the other side. But I'm gonna
tell you is the heartbeat. And I was before the
heartbeat that this one of the players that surprisingly has
been a huge contributor for Indiana that things got to
show up is topping popping, hitting the three and doing
it the different things he does.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I think he's gonna be a key player for Indiana
this year.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
And then I'll tell you the heartbeat and the person
that ultimately makes the difference than when the loser is Halliburton.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Halliburton's gotta be aggressive.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
When he's aggressive and he challenges and the push the ball,
challenges the paint and then kicks it back out for shooters,
then they're a much better team than when he plays
less aggressively. I think when I throw it, I put
it all together and I mix it up. I just
like what I'm feeling lately with the Bucks I'm taking
the fucking Bucks. The buck stops here, ganas Keeve vance
(15:59):
in the next round. Let's go who wants to go next?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
All right?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Even though Indiana beat the Bucks last year, right, that
was cool and all, But I'm going move Milwaukee this
year to beat them. To beat the Indiana, I'm going
with Kyle Kuzma. He gonna be one of the X
factors in his game. Kyle Kuzma for the Bucks. He
gotta show up, he gotta make some shots. So I'm
(16:22):
gonna go with Milwaukee to win in seven.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Did you say Kyle Kuzman because he was an egg Laker.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I mean, I'm just saying, God, damn, I'm gonna see
the guy lager bullshit.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Okay, Okay, I'm gonna tell you all right, now, what's
gonna happen in this series?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Y'all tripping, y'all tripping for real? Indiana, Pagy's gonna beat
the Bucks.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
The Bucks.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I'm gonna tell you something. The Bucks fucked up these
last couple of years. In my opinion, How you win
a championship, right, How you win a championship and then
you gonna make all these bucket changes and ship no
keep rolling what you got. They messed up when they
got with a holiday.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
That was the first.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
That was that was the biggest thing they did. They
messed up, got rid of the holiday. And then you
turn around to get give her the militant too. Now,
I know militant was troubled with injuries, this and that.
But until somebody beat that core work with with with
the green freak and holiday and oh boy, militant with
them three and mighty beat that three. But they all good.
(17:25):
Then I'm keeping that three. Why are you gonna win
the championship in this? Put it all up? So I'm
just saying, and I thought, yeah, so I think Indiana
the number.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I think IANA's gonna beat them. I thinka will win
in six, Indiana in six. Whatever. Look look, look, look
all right, look at you. You just said, why split
it up?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yes, they lost holiday, but they still got everybody else,
don't they?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
No, you still got everybody else. They still they still
got middletown. My bad, my bad, my bed on that. Well.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You know, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what
I'll tell you. I tell you what I tell you.
I'll tell you what. The last six games the Milwaukee
Bucks have been on a tear. And you know why
they've been on a tear because they don't put the
ball in Gianna's hands, let him play point forward down,
(18:22):
They letting, they took they took the reins off and
just pretty much let us say, you know what, like
Lebrin back in the day, Hey do your thing. And
those games, okay, he gaveraged thirty four points, yep, and
five of those six games he's he's uh, he's he's
a double digit assist. So if as long as he
(18:46):
can do that and and put and take them to
that level, they can be successful and they'll win this series.
They'll win this series on that, on on him alone.
I'm not saying it's gonna take him to the Promised Land,
but it'll be enough to get him past this series.
You know, if he can just do the way he's
been doing these last six games or whatever, they continue
to do that and be the facilitator and just the
(19:07):
dog on both sides of the ball, I think that
he will, uh, the Bucks will win this series.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
And if he got the.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Ball, and if he had the ball in his hands,
the motherfucker gotta make his free throw.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Number one of his playoff time nine, the.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Fuck out the Bulls, and the number the last six games.
Number two things, well, this is the playoffs now though,
Now make these motherfuckers down in the count now. Number
two things I say about the series is that the
Bucks have to do and I'm counting doing it is
you got to slow down and transition. They're the one
of the worst transition to the team to the league.
(19:41):
They gotta step that ship up in the playoffs and
the Bucks will put it off. I said the Bucks already.
I'm saying the Bucks is six. The Bucks winn series, you.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Know, the worst with them.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Go ahead, y'all saying, y'all said, and that Damien Ligard
is holding this team back?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Is that what youy'all saying?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
What I'm telling you, what I'm telling you is is
when you got a good chemistry and Drew Howiday is
one of the most underraty players in the league.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yes, that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Because one thing about Dame, he's a great scorer, and
I love Dame, but I'm just saying, oh, the defense
side of the ball, you won't find him. So that's
what they won by playing defense and stuff like that.
I'm telling you, and I know I'm not gonna Dame,
but all I'm saying is with with I Drew playing
that defense and Middleton playing that defense and the Green
(20:32):
Freak playing that d and that was.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
A good That was a good core with them three.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, they fucked up by getting rid of Drew Howiday
and bringing the Dame.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Yes they did barbecue brother, but you but him being out.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I think it actually helped to improve their defense. Dame
the real deal. But I think the Bucks say, you guys,
you got it here. We've made our our selection. But
this we're gonna move on now to the Western Conference.
Everyone everyone believes that the Western Conference is going to
be the most competitive conference evident. By it was the
(21:13):
last fucking day before it was decided. All the positions
were decided in the conference. That gives you an idea
how the parody is. So, I think you're gonna have
some knockout efforts here. Where lower seated teams might be Howard,
higher cheating teams. You're gonna see some shaking up in
the Western Conference. We're gonna start it with the Minnesota
(21:34):
timber Woods.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
An act man.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Versus the motherfucking Lakers, with Brian, Brian the King baby
and Luca, Hey Lee LEI tweety running.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
What you got? Okay?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
And man, he gonna come up small against these lost
ange Lakers small because you know they come on, Yes
they are.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
He gonna come up small, Okay, Okay. They split the series.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
They split the series this this season too, too, But
they didn't have Luca in the first three games of
the series of the of the series of the season.
So and Luca is averaging thirty points, eight nine rebounds,
eight nine assists.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Okay, so okay.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
And ever since they did that trade, the Lakers been
playing out our standard. So I'm like Shannon Shark, I say,
Lakers in five.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I guess then, is the Muscles five niggas in five?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Okay, Hey, Mark, Mark the next I go off, hold this.
I mean now, as much as I want to disagree
with it, because no, I'm not a Laker fan, I'm
a I'm a let brown guy, but I can't say
the fucking Lakers, I do think the Lakers win the
series only because Minnesota they.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Played dumb basketball.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
In my opinion, at Man, if a man plays smart,
and at Man was going that goddamn basket and then forcing.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
The tumble and everything else.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The Lakers will be in trouble, but at May gonna
come out shooting threes and ship. He the best player
on the floor right now if he if he huger skills,
he could be the best.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Play in the four. But he gonna come out try
to shoot threes and ship.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
So I do think the Lakers will win this series,
just on office Spaniens and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
So I think the Legas will win. I give Minnesota
two games.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I think Leagas look men agreeing. Uh, people talk about
the Lakers defense ain't the greatest. You know that that
big man is is really fucking him up. You know
they use them Lebron and and hot you morow down
there and fucking uh it centers and ship everybody.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
It is a dunk. It's a fucking dunk line.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But when you play stupid basketball, like Martin say, if
plays in your favorite because man ain't gonna take it
to the hole like you should. Because lately he's been
hitting three. See I'm fell in love with his fucking
jump shot. So you know, I'm still thinking, Yeah, Lakers
in about six is what I'm gonna roll with.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And you know that's what I believe.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I think for me, when I look at this one,
I think this series comes down to crunch time.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I think the games are going to be close.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So I think when you talk about crunch time and
you got Lebron and you have Luca on the one side,
I think that's pretty formidable.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
And unless you have a these of the team that is.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Going to be able to stop them, contain them and
keep them at lower percentage during the end of the game,
and be able to score on the other side.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
That I think you're in trouble now.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I think when I look at the series and I
boil it all down, one of the things the moves
that I haven't seen. I think where this series can
become competitive, but I think the Layer's still winning. Where
this series can become competitive is if they sit Rudy's
ass down in the big moments.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Now, Finch hasn't proven that he would do that.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
The last couple of years, he's been riding the Rudy train,
and because Rudy was the defense plader, you know that
bullshit Rudy in these series, he gets targeted and defeeling liability,
sit his mother ass down on the bench, and you
gotta make sure that you go with uh something with
one of the other guys to come in and be
(25:24):
able to close out. Rudy's not that guy I say,
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
No, say I'm saying lak th six. I think men
had a chance, but I don't think like the way
they need to in order to win.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I'm gonna be the fourth best on the floor behind Luca,
huh Lebron.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
And a R drunk.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Let us stop this ship, sweet, I'm not about listening
to this bullshit tonight. Not if you say you know
what I'm gonna say that ship You say that guy? Ye?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Are you watch your mother player? Man? You better stop
this ship.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, time we start wrapping it up your picks.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Let's roll through this last series real quick. We gotta
do this because we, as Nina said, eight of our time.
So hey, Denver in the Clippers, what we think real quick?
We gotta do this fast and Crims win in seven games?
Crimmers winning seven Clippers is seven. I got fucking Denver.
I ain't thinking. I can't think Clippers for ship. Fuck
(26:36):
that Denver winning, Denver winning six?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Okay, what what.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I would say about this series? Look, when you make
dumb ass decisions. There comes a point when you have
to own up to those decisions. They're gonna get in
the trenches. Just the playoffs. Now, this is the regular season.
Denver gonna get in the trenches this year. And think
when they look over and they have the jover, that's
gonna be enough. And it's not gonna be enough the Clippers.
As much I hate to beat the Clippers today, I
(27:02):
don't know Kui making the series. The Clippers win this series,
they win, they win the series six because Denver is
going to be needing the coach and make those big
decisions and they won't happen.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
All right, and then let's wrap this up.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Yes I say if quite will get hurt Clippers in seven?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
All right, all right, guys, well here first today we
had a lot going on. Let us know in the
coach below what you think about everyone's picks?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
