Speaker 1 (00:17):
Houshman Zana.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I'm just bringing the viewers into how grown men in
the locker room, like I don't play with some dude
that you disrespect them anyway, it didn't matter who it
was they was putting hands on you and Blaxico Burress, they.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
Are the same person, the same exact quarterback.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
It's a show with three of the best to ever
do it on and off the field, and not live
from the Fox Sports radio studios. Here's Pro bowlers LeVar
Airy Tent, TJ. Hushman Zanna, and Silver Bowl champion Blaxico Burres.
Speaker 3 (00:55):

What's up, everybody, it's our two up on the game.
That's right. We got TJ. Hushman Zada, we got Plexico first,

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Do we have cups?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We'll have cups the legends soon.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
And uh yeah, we're gonna talk some basketball and get
to all of those things. This is Fox Sports radio,
and well, we got a lot to get to. We're
gonna talk roundball. Obviously, the NBA playoffs are heating up,
and I just can't wait to hear what TJ and
Cuffs the Legend have to say about those Lakers. But
we will hopefully get to the rams and we'll find
(01:37):
out what we got going on with Up on Game,
Down on Game. But when you hear this, it's time
for you know what it is, my man, Cuffs the Legend.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Now it's time to check in with Cuffs the Legend
from some dude show podcast on Up on Game presents,
Cuffs is giving you a spicy takes on what's going.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Down to take the heat like Lebron and.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Now here's Cuffs the Legend.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
It's legend, all right. When you hear that, you know
what's on the other side of that. It is the
return of not the Mac but the Cuffs, Cuffs the Legend.
That is before uh Plexico Birds starts detonating and there's
ether for t J, huschman Zada and one the Legend.
(02:29):
Let me first start off by saying happy birthday to
the Cuffs, Happy birthday to the Legend. And now uh
you know, I'm not even gonna ask you how you're
doing cuffs because I'm just gonna let Plexico go ahead
and have it, so plex you have the floor, sir.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
You know what, Man, I'm really not in that space today.
I think you know, my my two colleagues have endured
enough pain this week being cuffs and TJ. So uh,
you know, I'm really just going to let these guys just.
Speaker 8 (03:01):
Explain to America.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
You know what happened to the La Flakers versus ant
Man and I called this series before it started, and
now it's a firestorm of JJ Reddick being immature. You
got lebron I just found out yesterday that he had
he had an m c L injury. That's why he did.
He wasn't playing up up to Paul and everything. Now
(03:26):
again it's surrounding Luca and his effort on a defensive end,
and everybody's looking at Nick for making his trade and saying,
now Nico knew what he was talking about. So cuff Man,
welcome to the show. You know, just tell us what
you think. Man, I'm curious to hear what you gotta say.
Speaker 9 (03:48):
Hey, look, I was I was food side, like Belichick.
I wanted to come on here first and foremost. I
heard her talking about Belichick, right, you know, Belichick on
that bluetoo.
Speaker 10 (03:58):
That's what he's doing here, That's that's his new nickname.
Bel I'm out here, man, you know.
Speaker 9 (04:07):
I'm trying to I'm trying to stay stress free. That's
the one good thing about the Lakers losing is now
me and t J Huschman Zada we can watch the
NBA playoffs stress free, black, no more stress, no more
dress because first.
Speaker 10 (04:26):
Look to keep it, to keep it real.
Speaker 9 (04:27):
Pla delusional fan. I'm a delusional fan. I'm always gonna
be a delusional Lebron fan. Lebron could be fifty and
I'm still gonna think he got a chance because I've
seen him do so much great stuff. But at this
point in his career, he needed a consistent second and
third scorer around him, and Austin Reeves just didn't show
up these playoffs this series and that really.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Man, he was disappointing this playoffs.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
Yeah, and it's like I don't want to see any
more summer highlight footage of him working out. Austin Reeve
said he was him, that's his words. Austin reed said,
in that Memphis Grizzly series a few years ago, he said,
I'm him and in this playoffs, this first you know,
this first round matchup, Austin Reeves looked like Doug McDermott.
(05:15):
He looked like Doug McDermott out there. It was a
regular guy. And Lebron at this age, in this stage
in his career, he can't depend on his third guy
and his role players not showing up. But I will
say shout out to Ruey Hotcha Mora. Really Ruy showed
up this series. So I feel like this summer it
might be unfair, but Ruey I feel like he should stay.
(05:38):
You know, I feel like he's he's safe, he's untouchable.
But I feel like somehow, some way his trade value
went up. You know, his trade value went up. So
if you're Milwaukee, which would you take Reeves and more.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
For Jannis in a trade deal? Trey packets.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
No, No, that's that's tempting. I mean, you're gonna have
to give multip picks up. If Michael Bridges can get
all the first round picks that he started, I mean,
it's interesting for sure.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
That ain't enough this summer. This summer, I want to
see Luka Donich. I want to see Luca get with
the Navy Seals or somebody this off season.
Speaker 10 (06:18):
I said him to a couple of days ago on
social media.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
Y'all know that the Navy Seals guy that's on TikTok,
it's real famous, like David Gawkin. Yeah, yees, yeah, we
need to see We need to see Luca lock in
with a guy like that. We need to I want
to see Luca come back.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You want to make it back. You know what I
get back.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I believe that he will, man, I really, I really do,
because he's going to have to pressure change physically if
he wants.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
To pressure plan for the Lakers. It's completely different than
playing for the Dallas Mappers. Look at how many dunk
way Luca had his rookie year. He can't even I mean,
he get a wide open dunk. He laying the ball
up and he's six seven.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
If you auto shape in Dallas, you auto shape in California.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It don't matter's probably where you at.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But the pressure.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
Remember, y'all remember Biddy by Jake. You'll remember Biddy about
Jake and workout videos. We got to get Luca with
Buddy a bout Jake this summer. I'm telling you he
has no cardio, his cardio, his condition, and he burns out.
He's tired.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Third quarter they were tired.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Their whole team was tired. And let me ask you this,
Jackson Hayes, where was he at while everybody's talking about
the coaching and this, that and the other.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Listen.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
I know Jackson isn't a big name and he's not
a big commodity, but he's a big and clearly they
were getting out bigged by Rudy Gobert. Like you're we
probably won't see Rudy Gobert have another game like this
this season, let alone maybe even in his career unless
somebody else makes the same mistake of going small thinking
that that won't happen. What Why did JJ Reddick not
(07:55):
try to neutralize Rudy Gobert in a close out game
when they were clearly getting.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Out outsized, out out length by the Temberwolves with their lineup.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
I apologize, I apologize a couple of days ago to
Jackon Hayes. I apologize Jack to Hayes because if I
was coaching the Electors, you would have got some run
because there's no way I'm gonna have an athletic seven
foot guy who is a lob threat. He has shown
that with Lucas so far, he's caught gereby lobbs. He's
still a vertical threat. He can block shots, he can rebound. Yeah,
(08:33):
he's not he's not a star. He's not a starting
caliber center. But you can't tell me this regular season
stretch Jackon Hayes then contribute to the e Leakers being
a three seed. And you watched Rudy Garet. Rudy Gobert
looked like Will Chamberlain in Game five. There's no way
I'm gonna watch this. Rudy Gobert of all people, get
(08:55):
twenty seven and twenty four on me and'll lost.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah right, let me ask you this question because this
is completely, you know, different than anything else.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
When you watch these games.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Josh Hart runs into Tim Hardaway junior, clear foul, no foul.
You watch Dylan Brooks touch Jimmy Butler on his mid
section shooting a three, it's a foul. What is going
on with there's no consistency with officiating. We can even
(09:31):
go to the Laker game, Luca gets tripped by Jade
McDaniels down one. I believe it was twenty seven seconds left.
If they aren't gonna call these fouls, do you believe
in the last minute of the games you should be
able to challenge anything, because.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
If Detroit gets that call, they're probably still playing.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
He Ja.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
It's definitely something fishy with NBA officiating sometimes when I'm
watching NBA games, I mean, you go to games, You've
been around grassroots basketball. You got kids and sons that
play ball, so you've been around au circuit, right, you
see how bad it is with some of the referee
and right officiating. When I watched the NBA now, I
really feel like I'm still watching like grassroots officiating.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Like I'm about to go get some of that today
NBA games now.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
And it's like, I hate to say this, I hate
to be a conspiracy theorist, but we've seen the Tim
Donaghy story. We've seen the stories of referees that were
money laundering guys out here. You know behind the scenes,
you don't you don't really know as a fan, and
I hate that we have to feel like that where
we feel like there's a lack of integrity when you're
watching these these out The bottom line is I want
(10:43):
to see the players that side the game. In the
NBA playoffs, I want to see the players decide it,
like let Im and Thompson guard Curry straight up without
because look at the gold to State Warriors, how many
illegal screens they're setting.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
So it's like.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
They called a fou all the ron elbowing or shoulder
and his own player in the head upside the head.
I mean there's a there's a few teams out there
that's moving and stepping through the picks. I mean that's
that's become pretty pretty commonplace.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
I feel like it's like tjs probably feel the same way.
It feels like you're watching w W rattling, like it
don't seem real.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Sometimes, like certain games they let you play in like
contact is cool, and then certain games they call the foul.
Certain games and then late in the game all the
holding and grabbing that was cool early on, it's no
longer cool.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I mean, it just doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
They yeah, hey, Coup, let's switch gears right quick man
to the Golden State and the Houston Rockets series. And
I know me and you had agreed on this before
the series has started. At that the experience for the
Golden State Warriors would win this series.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
But tell me if you agree with this. Man, I'm
looking at this game last night.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
And it looks like to me that that GP two
Gary Payton Jr. Can't guard Fred van Fleet, who we
had on the show. I think that Steve Kerr Man
needs to make some adjustments.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
He needs to give up some size.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Kavon Lewy only played two minutes in that game last night. Listen,
in the words of the Great Charlie Murphy, this uh uh,
this guy, this guy sing Gun send sin Gun, that kakenball.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Man sing Goon, can Ball and Steven Adams and.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Seng Goon are giving the Golden State Warriors a fit
on the glass. So Moses Moody, I think, is going
to have to guard Amen Thompson. And who is the
best defender that the Golden State Warriors have.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
That is Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
I think they need to take Jimmy Butler off of
Thompson and let him guard Fred van Fleet and find
a way to slow him down because right now, man,
he is destroying them uh in this series. So they're
gonna have to put Jimmy Butler on him if they
want to win this game.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Seven in Houston tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
See great minds tinker like black. Because my next point,
before you even brought this up, I wanted to say
shut out to Fred Van Vliek. I had him on
my show That's My Homie Man. I had him on
my show a couple of times. His story is amazing.
This guy really bet on hisself. He's undrafted and if
you look back to twenty nineteen the Raptors versus Warriors Finals,
(13:19):
he gave Steph Curry fits in that series. On both
ends he matched Steph Curry. And that's what you're seeing
in this series. The last three games, Freddy Vee had
twenty nine points, twenty six points, and twenty five points.
He hit six threes last night. The game before he
hit four threes. The game before that he had eight
three pointers. So he's really making shots. You remember it
(13:40):
was I think maybe game one. In game two he
was shooting a bunch of hand he was bricking everything.
He couldn't make no shots. But he is starting to
really get his shot going. And he's assistant. But Steven
Adams has been plus fifty three when he's been on
the court this series. He's been a monster on the glass.
And he's an unrestricted free agent this summer, by the way,
(14:01):
so the Lakers should be in and running for Steven
Adams this summer. I'm in Thompson. You know him like
it's his second year.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
In the league, but you can't tell me right now.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Pound for pound, I'm in Thompson just like his brother,
a sewer in Detroit. He can move to puppies with
the best of them in the NBA. He's one of
the best Devinson players in the league right now. And
I'm surprised Golden State really blew that Game six at home.
I really had to go to State winning last night.
I can't believe they blew it. So now we're going
to find out in game seven, Game eleven in Houston.
(14:33):
Is Jalen Green going to show up in game seven?
Speaker 8 (14:36):
If?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Where is he at?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
He's on milk Carton bro He's on the missing person's list.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Where he been?
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Man?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Where are you at?
Speaker 9 (14:44):
He gave him thirty eight just a few nights ago,
and we was, Okay, maybe he's figured it out, and
then he comes right back mediocre performance. I think he
had eight points last night. I think he had eleven.
That's not going to cut Salen Green like we need
at least twenty ball or twenty five tomorrow. And I
feel like Freddy Vee gonna show up and give you
at least ten to twelve knockdown some shots. But can
(15:05):
we talk about Tarry Eaton for the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Talk about it.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Tarr Easton is looking like a young Trevor Rezi if
you watch the games, He's doing all the little things
for Houston. He's even scoring. He's a sneaky scoring can
hit the three ball. Now this Rocket team, man, I
love Key want to put my money on the Rockets
for game stepping at home.
Speaker 10 (15:27):
Crowd. It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
All right, here's what we're gonna do. Table that table.
That table is gonna be tough table to Rockets. We're
gonna continue this conversation on the other side of break.
That's cuffs the legend from some dude shows, Plexico Burds,
the t J. Hudsman's out. I'm LeVar Arrington. This is
up on Game quick Break and we'll be right back.
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports radio
dot Com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
All right, all right, all right, all right, we got
Cuffs to legend. He's still in the house, still in
the building. Part of the up on game family, and
we are up on game is TJ. Huschman's out of
is Plexico Burus. I'm LeVar Arrington. We got up on
game down on game.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I think we.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Should keep I think we should keep.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Cuffs for up on game down on game because I
like for my dominant ways to extend beyond just TJ
and plex. I want to dominate Cuffs the legend two
pause and make sure that my dominance as the best
picker handicapper of what's going on in sports is well
(16:41):
documented against the best out there BO. So maybe we
keep him and for that that up on Game down
on game segment. But before we went to the break,
we were having a discussion about what's going on in
the playoffs and what these teams are doing, and we
still got a couple that we really haven't really touched
(17:04):
on yet. Man, one of those teams would have to
be you know, the Clippers, you know the Nuggets.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You know it's a nail bier. I don't I got.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
The Clippers going home in the first round, but they
seem to not be ready to go yet.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And James Harten woke up. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
What what's your takeaway on on what's going on with
that series right now?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Cuffs?
Speaker 9 (17:26):
Well, I gotta some dude. I got some dude fun
fact for y'all. Got a fun fact, you know, like.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
The you like Snapple facts, You get.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
A Snapple taking cap off right underneath the fun fact. Yeah,
the La Totenail Clippers haven't won a Game seven since
twoenty twelve against the Memphis Grizzly. So I say that
to say this, I don't really trust the LA Clippers
because they're the LA Clippers, and until you show me
(17:55):
you can really get to this moment and do it,
I just can't trust you. So the question I would
have is, do you trust Game seven Kawhi Kawhi Jeffrey
Jordan or do you trust Game seven Jokics? And I'm
gonna put my money today on Jokis.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Man.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
I feel like he's gonna have a monster triple double
alert today.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
I'll see about.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
Twenty seven points, fourteen rebounds, probably Tennisis, but the key
for the Nuggets today Tonight will be Michael Porter Junior
and Aaron Gordon.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
They have to show up.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
You know.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
Russ gonna bring that energy. Russ shout out to Russell Westbrook.
He's been real good in this series. But Michael Porter Jr.
Aaron Gordon, they gonna have to show up. But I
think it's gonna come down to the wire. This should
be a close game, fourth quarter crunch time. The ball's
gonna be in Yoki's hands a lot. Will the altitude being,
will the altitude matter, got all these different factors. I
(18:49):
think it's gonna be a great game. Who y'all put
y'all money on Kawhi or Yokis and game.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I just can't go with the Clippers, man, I mean,
I just can't go with the Clippers. I gotta take
the Joker in again. Game seven, man, I just believe
that he's gonna get off to one of those great starts.
You know, ten ten points, eight rebounds, seven assists in
the first quarter, and we know what that spells for
the Denver Nuggets. That's gonna be another playoff triple double.
(19:15):
So you know, getting back to James Harden, you know,
I just don't see them going into Denver. I might
take them if they were playing in LA, but this
is a game that the Clippers need to win, but
they're not because I think this is gonna be the
end of this party for James Harden and Kawhi Len
(19:35):
are trying to win a championship together because I believe
just moving forward, these young teamers getting are getting better
and better every year in the West. They need to
win this game if they want to contend to win
the world Championship.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
But it just so.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Happens that they're running in to the Joker, and I
believe Jamal Murry is going to have one of those
big Knights and they're gonna send the totalail Clippers back home.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Man, it really boils down to can Jamal Murray play
like the Jamal Murray.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
When they won a championship?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Can he make big shot after big shot after big shot?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
To me, that's what it's gonna bought.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
We know Yokich is gonna get his We know that
can Jamal Murray be the Jamal Murray that he was?
If he is, were gonna have a hell of a
game on our hands.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
I think this is a James Harden legacy game.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Y'all. And I say that because.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
He's bounced around. He's floated around from team to team.
He's done the Brooklyn thing with KD. That didn't work.
He did the Houston thing back in the day, it
didn't work. He's bounced around now, went to Philly, it
didn't work. He's here now. This is his absolute maybe
last shot or best shot to get to an NBA Finals,
because all I see on social media is people telling
(20:50):
me the streets say James Harden is better than Dwayne
Wade all time in shooting guard rankings. There's no way
I'm putting James Harden ahead of d Wade? Are you
kidding me?
Speaker 8 (21:00):
No way.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
So it's like tonight, James Harden, I feel like that's
the person I want to see rod to the occasion.
He had a good game six, But they need a
triple double tonight. They need a vintage James Harden triple double.
Not sixteen points, seventeen points. They need twenty five plus points,
you know, ten eleven rebounds, thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
It says.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
The guy that I'm watching for the Clippers tonight though,
will be Zubob because he is top three in my opinion,
Big men in the league. Him and Yolkis have had
a great battle this series. He didn't rebound well the
last game. I think Zubak only had five rebounds last
game in Game six. That's not really standard for him.
So I think tonight you're gonna see Zubak with a
double double. I think we're gonna get a barn Burner phelips.
(21:45):
I think we're gonna get a close game, maybe a
lower scoring game than usual because I think it's gonna
be a lot of physicality, a lot of fouls the referees, hopefully.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
A set of tone early.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
But Aaron Gordon, you know, I'm looking at Porter Junior
Aaron Gordon on the Nugget side, and I'm looking at
James harden do Bock on the Clipper side.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
I want to throw this one out at you cuffs.
I'm looking at the Pacers coming off of that that
kind of very very uh confrontational, very uh like, I
don't know, confusing, messy, messy uh when uh, I guess
series win over over the Milwaukee Bucks. Obviously, with Halla
(22:26):
Burton's dad getting in the mix up, first, I ask you,
do you think the dad should like should the should
the penalty be harsh as in never being able to
attend the game. That should the NBA banning from games.
Should it just be the team or should there be
anything at all? And then the second thing is the Cavaliers,
to me, was the one of the two teams that
(22:46):
have shown a very very early dominance in the way
that they they come into the playoffs. I mean, they
look like they're poised to make a real run for
the finals. How do you see this this series playing out?
Speaker 9 (23:01):
First Off, Halliburton, Pop Caliburton, I think his name is
John Halliburton.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
He was goofy. It was a goofy thing.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
I know he feel real bad about it. He regretted
doing it. He made a mistake, he was over zealous,
he was passing it. We know we all got sons
that plays for us. We know you were stripping, Pops,
But I said.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
The penalty was at a little harder. Put him in the nosebleeds.
Just send him up there in the top of the
air condition bent.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
He can still be in the building. But you get
you can't come down close to the players, Pops. But
this series, man, I think it's gonna come down to
Darius Garland and Evan Mobley once again on the Cave side.
Those are the lynch pins like those are the guys
for the Calves. Man that really tilt the scale of
the casway Donovan Mitchell.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
Spot of Mitchell, he's a.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Proven playoff riser, like in the past with even with Utah,
he's had great games, even last year's playoffs, he's had
great scoring games thirty plus points. So we expect Spotty
to show up. Shared Allen's going to show up. I
got this series going maybe six. I think the Cave
is just a little too much for our power Todd
Jerome DeAndre Hunter. They got a solid bench. The Pats
(24:05):
are up and up tempo team, so I think this
will be a high scoring series. But bar it will
be a high scoring series for both teams. So they
like to get up and down. Siakam he's gonna do
it what he does. I just don't so like Indiana
has enough scores. Though, like aaron Ne Smith, he's a
good role player, but I don't think they can depend
on him to give you twenty or twenty five, and
(24:25):
that's what they're gonna be missing this series. So I'm
going four too with the Calves, and I think we're
gonna get what we're all looking for. I know Platico
is looking for this too. Cleveland and Boston Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Yeah, I agree with that. I agree.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah that the.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Cleveland b the Cleveland Browns, the Cleveland Calves many offensively,
not a weakness. Defensively, not a weakness. They have size athleticism.
When they meet Boston in that Eastern Conference Finals, man,
that's he's gonna be a blood bath.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
It's going seven, DJ, It's going seven if everybody's healthy.
If you look at the matchup, it's gonna be one
of those series where each team is gonna have one
of those games where the role player is gonna have
to decide the game because the star power is there.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
You know.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
I feel like with Tatum and Brown, even though I
don't feel like Brown's one hundred percent healthy for the Celtics,
that words me a little bit for Boston. But we've seen,
we've seen what Dereck White can do. Ball headed Derrick White.
He's stepping up. He can get he can get you
twenty five or thirty.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Better than Afro Derek White, by the way.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Yeah, better than Afro Derek White. Wallhead Derek White in here.
They got Peyton Pritchet, the sixth man of the year.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
The Celtics are loaded, man.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
But I don't know if y'all seen the rumors floating around,
but even if the Celtics repeat this year, they're gonna
shake the roster up this summer. So poor zingis Chris Stout,
Port zingis Drew Holliday. They will be available in trade
discussions this summer. So I can't wait for this second round.
But one more point though about that Nuggets and Clipper series. Jall,
(26:01):
the winner of this series only has one day of
rest before they go to game one.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Oka ahead the Oklahoma.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
You could get ugly.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
It could get ugly, and you're talking about one day's rest.
How much is that going to play a part and
everything that's that's going on from your estimation, Like you've
you've seen this from from a very close range and
have gotten to know the players. I mean, it's a
grind for football players to go through the types of seasons.
And it's like at this point, it's only seventeen eighteen games.
(26:33):
You know, they got to go through a ton of
games and now you're at the end. We saw how
tired and we could say, all right, well, you know
people were pointing out, blah blah blah blah, who's.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
The guy for the Lakers? Why am I blanking on
his name? Right now?
Speaker 6 (26:51):
The main one Luca, Luca, Luca, Why am I blanking?
So everybody's blaming Luca for being out of shape, But
really they were all tied in that fourth quarter and
that was kind of to me because you know, they
probably weren't subbing the way that they needed to sub.
But you can't just blame Luca for being so out
of shape when the entire unit was.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Tired as well.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
How does that play out, like, say, for instance, with
what's going to take place with Golden State, that's a
seven game series.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
You got you gotta go play, I get it.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
But how much does fatigue play a part in all
of those things? Because there isn't very much, especially when
you go beyond you know, having a sweep and you
got to go later on into these series. How much
do you think that plays a part and some of
these teams maybe possibly having a chance against some of
these other teams and these matchups moving forward.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
Well, I would say the remedy to that real quick
is to do what Anthony Edwards did.
Speaker 10 (27:52):
And go ahead and get him.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
Up out of here in five games, so you can
have those extra days of red because the NBA has
done a good job this season with the scheduling between
the series, like I mean not between the series, but
like in between game from Game one the game two,
it's like one or two days here. The Lakers had
some good rents in between the series. I don't know
how they didn't get it together, but that's the thing
with the conditioning. Like for like a lot of these teams,
(28:15):
like the Calves and Thunder, that's why I'm picking them
to go far this year.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Because they have the depth.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
They have the younger legs as well, So that's why
I'm going with those teams because they have they can
go eight deep, nine deep, ten deep. We see the
caves they got Todd Jerome, DeAndre Hunter. They going deep
into their bench. So that's why I feel like it's
a change of the guard now the older teams on
a struggle. The Lakers were built to win a three
game series. They weren't really built to win a seven
game series, if that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
And this is why the Rockets will probably have an
advantage tomorrow. Yes, it's because they have so many young players.
Dylan Brooks is a starter. Dude didn't play much at
all in the second half.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
He's a starter.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
How many teams can put a starter on the bench
in keeping there the entirety of the fourth quarter, the
majority of the third quarter and still win a game.
There's not too many teams that can do that. When
you have depth and you have young guys that can
come in and give you a spark on both sides
of the ball, and they're young, you have an advantage.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I just think the way that they're playing in that
group they had on the basketball court, and the way
that Van Fleet was playing, and the Golden State started
this hack of Steven Adams, I mean he went down
for sixteen fifty three from the free throw line, and
that kind of backfired on them also because that didn't work.
But when you have a unit on the court and
(29:39):
they were playing as well as they were, you know,
last night, I think Adoku realized that he was going
to continue to sit Brooks on the bench because you know,
some of these games, man, he'd be out of pocket,
you know, making these crazy files. They have a chance
to get back to home and play a Game seven
(29:59):
on their court and he's running around, you know, taking
everything personal, making these dumb files and all these bad plays.
And I think with Doku man, he made his mind
up when they came out and they hit that first
three six minutes into the fourth quarter, and he was
just like, you know what I'm gonna wrong with this
group that I got on the court right now.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Had cuffs a blast man. Why Jimmy Butler doesn't play?
Kuminga finally gets some burn, they win the game.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
What Kuminga that Steve Kurrz like you not playing because
he's six' nine and he's.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Athletic.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
Man the thing With, kaminga he's such a enigma because
you've seen him get.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
Thirty you've seen.
Speaker 9 (30:41):
Him you've seen nights even in the regular season where
he'll get, thirty, right you see him get. Thirty just
off like you, said sheer. Athleticism he looked like a
shorter A Mari startomeyer, like it's a shorter version of A.
Mari this explosive top five athlete in THE. Nba it's.
Puzzling but if you watch the, film he has his
(31:01):
BASKETBALL iq is just very. Low AND i just twl
like if a trust thing With Steven, kurr it's an
individual trust. Thing so we can all watch the game
and say the same, thing, like, man you need this
athleticism because look at What Jabari smith is doing to.
Y'all there's no way on Watching Jabari smith get in
the pain shoot that little fadaway jumper over and. Over
And i'm not Putting kaminga out there who's six eight
(31:23):
six nine great wingspan. Athleticism you're, right BUT i just
feel Like steve kurt, does he doesn't Trust Aaminga And Moses.
Moody shout out To Moses. Moody he's tired of being.
Humble you see what he did last. Night he tried
to dunk on the whole team last, Night Like Moses.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
Moody has showed. Up but you know he was In
steve kirk doghouse for the last two.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Years so that's been one of the criticisms that knocks
On Steve. Curry even though he has the, rings the four.
Rings The warriors fan base will tell you, this like
they get frustrated with his uses of young. Players he's
an old stool guy from The Greg popovich coaching. Tree
shout out the coach pop he, retired LIKE i feel like.
Stubborn sometimes he's very stubborn, sometimes so he's really gonna
(32:05):
have to coach Because. Udokah shout out To. Udoka he's
showing the basketball world why he took The Boston celtics
and he led The selfis to the finals just a
few years. Ago you, know before he.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
Started you, know.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
He is a defensive. Genius he's going from. Zone you
see how he's switching up the matchup. Zone he's going
from man to. Zone these matchups are crazy on, Defense Boston. One,
yeah you're. Right SO i feel like his Young rockets
are buying into his philosophy on, defense and they're making
these games. Ugly if y'all remember a few weekends, AGO
i said, IT i said The rockets have to muck
(32:42):
the series. Up and that's What udokah's teams are known.
Speaker 10 (32:44):
For that's their.
Speaker 9 (32:45):
Identity they're making it ugly and.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
They have the perfect roster to make it.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
Ugly Tarry, Easton Dylan, Brooks like you, Said Jervari, Smith
Fred Van, vliet these are guys who feel like they
were underrated coming out of. College these guys were under
everybody talked about The Steph currys and all these. Guys
that's WHY i love this series and it's so. Intriguing
so y'all almost got me wanted to put my money
on the.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Rockets Now i'm almost feeling like it might.

You know what, Man, I'm really not in that space today.
I think you know, my my two colleagues have endured
enough pain this week being cuffs and TJ. So uh,
you know, I'm really just going to let these guys just.
Speaker 8 (03:01):
Explain to America.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
You know what happened to the La Flakers versus ant
Man and I called this series before it started, and
now it's a firestorm of JJ Reddick being immature. You
got lebron I just found out yesterday that he had
he had an m c L injury. That's why he did.
He wasn't playing up up to Paul and everything. Now
(03:26):
again it's surrounding Luca and his effort on a defensive end,
and everybody's looking at Nick for making his trade and saying,
now Nico knew what he was talking about. So cuff Man,
welcome to the show. You know, just tell us what
you think. Man, I'm curious to hear what you gotta say.
Speaker 9 (03:48):

dress because first.
Speaker 10 (04:26):
Look to keep it, to keep it real.
Speaker 9 (04:27):
Pla delusional fan. I'm a delusional fan. I'm always gonna
be a delusional Lebron fan. Lebron could be fifty and
I'm still gonna think he got a chance because I've
seen him do so much great stuff. But at this
point in his career, he needed a consistent second and
third scorer around him, and Austin Reeves just didn't show
up these playoffs this series and that really.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Man, he was disappointing this playoffs.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
Yeah, and it's like I don't want to see any
more summer highlight footage of him working out. Austin Reeve
said he was him, that's his words. Austin reed said,
in that Memphis Grizzly series a few years ago, he said,
I'm him and in this playoffs, this first you know,
this first round matchup, Austin Reeves looked like Doug McDermott.
(05:15):
He looked like Doug McDermott out there. It was a
regular guy. And Lebron at this age, in this stage
in his career, he can't depend on his third guy
and his role players not showing up. But I will
say shout out to Ruey Hotcha Mora. Really Ruy showed
up this series. So I feel like this summer it
might be unfair, but Ruey I feel like he should stay.
(05:38):
You know, I feel like he's he's safe, he's untouchable.
But I feel like somehow, some way his trade value
went up. You know, his trade value went up. So
if you're Milwaukee, which would you take Reeves and more.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
For Jannis in a trade deal? Trey packets.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
No, No, that's that's tempting. I mean, you're gonna have
to give multip picks up. If Michael Bridges can get
all the first round picks that he started, I mean,
it's interesting for sure.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
That ain't enough this summer. This summer, I want to
see Luka Donich. I want to see Luca get with
the Navy Seals or somebody this off season.
Speaker 10 (06:18):
I said him to a couple of days ago on
social media.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
Y'all know that the Navy Seals guy that's on TikTok,
it's real famous, like David Gawkin. Yeah, yees, yeah, we
need to see We need to see Luca lock in
with a guy like that. We need to I want
to see Luca come back.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You want to make it back. You know what I
get back.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I believe that he will, man, I really, I really do,
because he's going to have to pressure change physically if
he wants.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
To pressure plan for the Lakers. It's completely different than
playing for the Dallas Mappers. Look at how many dunk
way Luca had his rookie year. He can't even I mean,
he get a wide open dunk. He laying the ball
up and he's six seven.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
If you auto shape in Dallas, you auto shape in California.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It don't matter's probably where you at.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But the pressure.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
Remember, y'all remember Biddy by Jake. You'll remember Biddy about
Jake and workout videos. We got to get Luca with
Buddy a bout Jake this summer. I'm telling you he
has no cardio, his cardio, his condition, and he burns out.
He's tired.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Third quarter they were tired.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Their whole team was tired. And let me ask you this,
Jackson Hayes, where was he at while everybody's talking about
the coaching and this, that and the other.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Listen.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
I know Jackson isn't a big name and he's not
a big commodity, but he's a big and clearly they
were getting out bigged by Rudy Gobert. Like you're we
probably won't see Rudy Gobert have another game like this
this season, let alone maybe even in his career unless
somebody else makes the same mistake of going small thinking
that that won't happen. What Why did JJ Reddick not
(07:55):
try to neutralize Rudy Gobert in a close out game
when they were clearly getting.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Out outsized, out out length by the Temberwolves with their lineup.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
I apologize, I apologize a couple of days ago to
Jackon Hayes. I apologize Jack to Hayes because if I
was coaching the Electors, you would have got some run
because there's no way I'm gonna have an athletic seven
foot guy who is a lob threat. He has shown
that with Lucas so far, he's caught gereby lobbs. He's
still a vertical threat. He can block shots, he can rebound. Yeah,
(08:33):
he's not he's not a star. He's not a starting
caliber center. But you can't tell me this regular season
stretch Jackon Hayes then contribute to the e Leakers being
a three seed. And you watched Rudy Garet. Rudy Gobert
looked like Will Chamberlain in Game five. There's no way
I'm gonna watch this. Rudy Gobert of all people, get
(08:55):
twenty seven and twenty four on me and'll lost.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah right, let me ask you this question because this
is completely, you know, different than anything else.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
When you watch these games.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Josh Hart runs into Tim Hardaway junior, clear foul, no foul.
You watch Dylan Brooks touch Jimmy Butler on his mid
section shooting a three, it's a foul. What is going
on with there's no consistency with officiating. We can even
(09:31):
go to the Laker game, Luca gets tripped by Jade
McDaniels down one. I believe it was twenty seven seconds left.
If they aren't gonna call these fouls, do you believe
in the last minute of the games you should be
able to challenge anything, because.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
If Detroit gets that call, they're probably still playing.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
He Ja.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
It's definitely something fishy with NBA officiating sometimes when I'm
watching NBA games, I mean, you go to games, You've
been around grassroots basketball. You got kids and sons that
play ball, so you've been around au circuit, right, you
see how bad it is with some of the referee
and right officiating. When I watched the NBA now, I
really feel like I'm still watching like grassroots officiating.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Like I'm about to go get some of that today
NBA games now.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
And it's like, I hate to say this, I hate
to be a conspiracy theorist, but we've seen the Tim
Donaghy story. We've seen the stories of referees that were
money laundering guys out here. You know behind the scenes,
you don't you don't really know as a fan, and
I hate that we have to feel like that where
we feel like there's a lack of integrity when you're
watching these these out The bottom line is I want
(10:43):
to see the players that side the game. In the
NBA playoffs, I want to see the players decide it,
like let Im and Thompson guard Curry straight up without
because look at the gold to State Warriors, how many
illegal screens they're setting.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
So it's like.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
They called a fou all the ron elbowing or shoulder
and his own player in the head upside the head.
I mean there's a there's a few teams out there
that's moving and stepping through the picks. I mean that's
that's become pretty pretty commonplace.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
I feel like it's like tjs probably feel the same way.
It feels like you're watching w W rattling, like it
don't seem real.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Sometimes, like certain games they let you play in like
contact is cool, and then certain games they call the foul.
Certain games and then late in the game all the
holding and grabbing that was cool early on, it's no
longer cool.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I mean, it just doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
They yeah, hey, Coup, let's switch gears right quick man
to the Golden State and the Houston Rockets series. And
I know me and you had agreed on this before
the series has started. At that the experience for the
Golden State Warriors would win this series.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
But tell me if you agree with this. Man, I'm
looking at this game last night.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
And it looks like to me that that GP two
Gary Payton Jr. Can't guard Fred van Fleet, who we
had on the show. I think that Steve Kerr Man
needs to make some adjustments.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
He needs to give up some size.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Kavon Lewy only played two minutes in that game last night. Listen,
in the words of the Great Charlie Murphy, this uh uh,
this guy, this guy sing Gun send sin Gun, that kakenball.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Man sing Goon, can Ball and Steven Adams and.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Seng Goon are giving the Golden State Warriors a fit
on the glass. So Moses Moody, I think, is going
to have to guard Amen Thompson. And who is the
best defender that the Golden State Warriors have.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
That is Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
I think they need to take Jimmy Butler off of
Thompson and let him guard Fred van Fleet and find
a way to slow him down because right now, man,
he is destroying them uh in this series. So they're
gonna have to put Jimmy Butler on him if they
want to win this game.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Seven in Houston tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
See great minds tinker like black. Because my next point,
before you even brought this up, I wanted to say
shut out to Fred Van Vliek. I had him on
my show That's My Homie Man. I had him on
my show a couple of times. His story is amazing.
This guy really bet on hisself. He's undrafted and if
you look back to twenty nineteen the Raptors versus Warriors Finals,
(13:19):
he gave Steph Curry fits in that series. On both
ends he matched Steph Curry. And that's what you're seeing
in this series. The last three games, Freddy Vee had
twenty nine points, twenty six points, and twenty five points.
He hit six threes last night. The game before he
hit four threes. The game before that he had eight
three pointers. So he's really making shots. You remember it
(13:40):
was I think maybe game one. In game two he
was shooting a bunch of hand he was bricking everything.
He couldn't make no shots. But he is starting to
really get his shot going. And he's assistant. But Steven
Adams has been plus fifty three when he's been on
the court this series. He's been a monster on the glass.
And he's an unrestricted free agent this summer, by the way,
(14:01):
so the Lakers should be in and running for Steven
Adams this summer. I'm in Thompson. You know him like
it's his second year.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
In the league, but you can't tell me right now.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Pound for pound, I'm in Thompson just like his brother,
a sewer in Detroit. He can move to puppies with
the best of them in the NBA. He's one of
the best Devinson players in the league right now. And
I'm surprised Golden State really blew that Game six at home.
I really had to go to State winning last night.
I can't believe they blew it. So now we're going
to find out in game seven, Game eleven in Houston.
(14:33):
Is Jalen Green going to show up in game seven?
Speaker 8 (14:36):
If?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Where is he at?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
He's on milk Carton bro He's on the missing person's list.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Where he been?
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Man?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Where are you at?
Speaker 9 (14:44):
He gave him thirty eight just a few nights ago,
and we was, Okay, maybe he's figured it out, and
then he comes right back mediocre performance. I think he
had eight points last night. I think he had eleven.
That's not going to cut Salen Green like we need
at least twenty ball or twenty five tomorrow. And I
feel like Freddy Vee gonna show up and give you
at least ten to twelve knockdown some shots. But can
(15:05):
we talk about Tarry Eaton for the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Talk about it.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Tarr Easton is looking like a young Trevor Rezi if
you watch the games, He's doing all the little things
for Houston. He's even scoring. He's a sneaky scoring can
hit the three ball. Now this Rocket team, man, I
love Key want to put my money on the Rockets
for game stepping at home.
Speaker 10 (15:27):
Crowd. It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
All right, here's what we're gonna do. Table that table.
That table is gonna be tough table to Rockets. We're
gonna continue this conversation on the other side of break.
That's cuffs the legend from some dude shows, Plexico Burds,
the t J. Hudsman's out. I'm LeVar Arrington. This is
up on Game quick Break and we'll be right back.
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports radio
dot Com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
All right, all right, all right, all right, we got
Cuffs to legend. He's still in the house, still in
the building. Part of the up on game family, and
we are up on game is TJ. Huschman's out of
is Plexico Burus. I'm LeVar Arrington. We got up on
game down on game.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I think we.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Should keep I think we should keep.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Cuffs for up on game down on game because I
like for my dominant ways to extend beyond just TJ
and plex. I want to dominate Cuffs the legend two
pause and make sure that my dominance as the best
picker handicapper of what's going on in sports is well
(16:41):
documented against the best out there BO. So maybe we
keep him and for that that up on Game down
on game segment. But before we went to the break,
we were having a discussion about what's going on in
the playoffs and what these teams are doing, and we
still got a couple that we really haven't really touched
(17:04):
on yet. Man, one of those teams would have to
be you know, the Clippers, you know the Nuggets.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You know it's a nail bier. I don't I got.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
The Clippers going home in the first round, but they
seem to not be ready to go yet.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And James Harten woke up. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
What what's your takeaway on on what's going on with
that series right now?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Cuffs?
Speaker 9 (17:26):
Well, I gotta some dude. I got some dude fun
fact for y'all. Got a fun fact, you know, like.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
The you like Snapple facts, You get.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
A Snapple taking cap off right underneath the fun fact. Yeah,
the La Totenail Clippers haven't won a Game seven since
twoenty twelve against the Memphis Grizzly. So I say that
to say this, I don't really trust the LA Clippers
because they're the LA Clippers, and until you show me
(17:55):
you can really get to this moment and do it,
I just can't trust you. So the question I would
have is, do you trust Game seven Kawhi Kawhi Jeffrey
Jordan or do you trust Game seven Jokics? And I'm
gonna put my money today on Jokis.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Man.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
I feel like he's gonna have a monster triple double
alert today.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
I'll see about.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
Twenty seven points, fourteen rebounds, probably Tennisis, but the key
for the Nuggets today Tonight will be Michael Porter Junior
and Aaron Gordon.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
They have to show up.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
You know.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
Russ gonna bring that energy. Russ shout out to Russell Westbrook.
He's been real good in this series. But Michael Porter Jr.
Aaron Gordon, they gonna have to show up. But I
think it's gonna come down to the wire. This should
be a close game, fourth quarter crunch time. The ball's
gonna be in Yoki's hands a lot. Will the altitude being,
will the altitude matter, got all these different factors. I
(18:49):
think it's gonna be a great game. Who y'all put
y'all money on Kawhi or Yokis and game.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I just can't go with the Clippers, man, I mean,
I just can't go with the Clippers. I gotta take
the Joker in again. Game seven, man, I just believe
that he's gonna get off to one of those great starts.
You know, ten ten points, eight rebounds, seven assists in
the first quarter, and we know what that spells for
the Denver Nuggets. That's gonna be another playoff triple double.
(19:15):
So you know, getting back to James Harden, you know,
I just don't see them going into Denver. I might
take them if they were playing in LA, but this
is a game that the Clippers need to win, but
they're not because I think this is gonna be the
end of this party for James Harden and Kawhi Len
(19:35):
are trying to win a championship together because I believe
just moving forward, these young teamers getting are getting better
and better every year in the West. They need to
win this game if they want to contend to win
the world Championship.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
But it just so.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Happens that they're running in to the Joker, and I
believe Jamal Murry is going to have one of those
big Knights and they're gonna send the totalail Clippers back home.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Man, it really boils down to can Jamal Murray play
like the Jamal Murray.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
When they won a championship?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Can he make big shot after big shot after big shot?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
To me, that's what it's gonna bought.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
We know Yokich is gonna get his We know that
can Jamal Murray be the Jamal Murray that he was?
If he is, were gonna have a hell of a
game on our hands.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
I think this is a James Harden legacy game.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Y'all. And I say that because.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
He's bounced around. He's floated around from team to team.
He's done the Brooklyn thing with KD. That didn't work.
He did the Houston thing back in the day, it
didn't work. He's bounced around now, went to Philly, it
didn't work. He's here now. This is his absolute maybe
last shot or best shot to get to an NBA Finals,
because all I see on social media is people telling
(20:50):
me the streets say James Harden is better than Dwayne
Wade all time in shooting guard rankings. There's no way
I'm putting James Harden ahead of d Wade? Are you
kidding me?
Speaker 8 (21:00):
No way.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
So it's like tonight, James Harden, I feel like that's
the person I want to see rod to the occasion.
He had a good game six, But they need a
triple double tonight. They need a vintage James Harden triple double.
Not sixteen points, seventeen points. They need twenty five plus points,
you know, ten eleven rebounds, thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
It says.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
The guy that I'm watching for the Clippers tonight though,
will be Zubob because he is top three in my opinion,
Big men in the league. Him and Yolkis have had
a great battle this series. He didn't rebound well the
last game. I think Zubak only had five rebounds last
game in Game six. That's not really standard for him.
So I think tonight you're gonna see Zubak with a
double double. I think we're gonna get a barn Burner phelips.
(21:45):
I think we're gonna get a close game, maybe a
lower scoring game than usual because I think it's gonna
be a lot of physicality, a lot of fouls the referees, hopefully.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
A set of tone early.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
But Aaron Gordon, you know, I'm looking at Porter Junior
Aaron Gordon on the Nugget side, and I'm looking at
James harden do Bock on the Clipper side.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
I want to throw this one out at you cuffs.
I'm looking at the Pacers coming off of that that
kind of very very uh confrontational, very uh like, I
don't know, confusing, messy, messy uh when uh, I guess
series win over over the Milwaukee Bucks. Obviously, with Halla
(22:26):
Burton's dad getting in the mix up, first, I ask you,
do you think the dad should like should the should
the penalty be harsh as in never being able to
attend the game. That should the NBA banning from games.
Should it just be the team or should there be
anything at all? And then the second thing is the Cavaliers,
to me, was the one of the two teams that
(22:46):
have shown a very very early dominance in the way
that they they come into the playoffs. I mean, they
look like they're poised to make a real run for
the finals. How do you see this this series playing out?
Speaker 9 (23:01):
First Off, Halliburton, Pop Caliburton, I think his name is
John Halliburton.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
He was goofy. It was a goofy thing.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
I know he feel real bad about it. He regretted
doing it. He made a mistake, he was over zealous,
he was passing it. We know we all got sons
that plays for us. We know you were stripping, Pops,
But I said.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
The penalty was at a little harder. Put him in the nosebleeds.
Just send him up there in the top of the
air condition bent.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
He can still be in the building. But you get
you can't come down close to the players, Pops. But
this series, man, I think it's gonna come down to
Darius Garland and Evan Mobley once again on the Cave side.
Those are the lynch pins like those are the guys
for the Calves. Man that really tilt the scale of
the casway Donovan Mitchell.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
Spot of Mitchell, he's a.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Proven playoff riser, like in the past with even with Utah,
he's had great games, even last year's playoffs, he's had
great scoring games thirty plus points. So we expect Spotty
to show up. Shared Allen's going to show up. I
got this series going maybe six. I think the Cave
is just a little too much for our power Todd
Jerome DeAndre Hunter. They got a solid bench. The Pats
(24:05):
are up and up tempo team, so I think this
will be a high scoring series. But bar it will
be a high scoring series for both teams. So they
like to get up and down. Siakam he's gonna do
it what he does. I just don't so like Indiana
has enough scores. Though, like aaron Ne Smith, he's a
good role player, but I don't think they can depend
on him to give you twenty or twenty five, and
(24:25):
that's what they're gonna be missing this series. So I'm
going four too with the Calves, and I think we're
gonna get what we're all looking for. I know Platico
is looking for this too. Cleveland and Boston Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Yeah, I agree with that. I agree.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah that the.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Cleveland b the Cleveland Browns, the Cleveland Calves many offensively,
not a weakness. Defensively, not a weakness. They have size athleticism.
When they meet Boston in that Eastern Conference Finals, man,
that's he's gonna be a blood bath.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
It's going seven, DJ, It's going seven if everybody's healthy.
If you look at the matchup, it's gonna be one
of those series where each team is gonna have one
of those games where the role player is gonna have
to decide the game because the star power is there.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
You know.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
I feel like with Tatum and Brown, even though I
don't feel like Brown's one hundred percent healthy for the Celtics,
that words me a little bit for Boston. But we've seen,
we've seen what Dereck White can do. Ball headed Derrick White.
He's stepping up. He can get he can get you
twenty five or thirty.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Better than Afro Derek White, by the way.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Yeah, better than Afro Derek White. Wallhead Derek White in here.
They got Peyton Pritchet, the sixth man of the year.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
The Celtics are loaded, man.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
But I don't know if y'all seen the rumors floating around,
but even if the Celtics repeat this year, they're gonna
shake the roster up this summer. So poor zingis Chris Stout,
Port zingis Drew Holliday. They will be available in trade
discussions this summer. So I can't wait for this second round.
But one more point though about that Nuggets and Clipper series. Jall,
(26:01):
the winner of this series only has one day of
rest before they go to game one.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Oka ahead the Oklahoma.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
You could get ugly.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
It could get ugly, and you're talking about one day's rest.
How much is that going to play a part and
everything that's that's going on from your estimation, Like you've
you've seen this from from a very close range and
have gotten to know the players. I mean, it's a
grind for football players to go through the types of seasons.
And it's like at this point, it's only seventeen eighteen games.
(26:33):
You know, they got to go through a ton of
games and now you're at the end. We saw how
tired and we could say, all right, well, you know
people were pointing out, blah blah blah blah, who's.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
The guy for the Lakers? Why am I blanking on
his name? Right now?
Speaker 6 (26:51):
The main one Luca, Luca, Luca, Why am I blanking?
So everybody's blaming Luca for being out of shape, But
really they were all tied in that fourth quarter and
that was kind of to me because you know, they
probably weren't subbing the way that they needed to sub.
But you can't just blame Luca for being so out
of shape when the entire unit was.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Tired as well.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
How does that play out, like, say, for instance, with
what's going to take place with Golden State, that's a
seven game series.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
You got you gotta go play, I get it.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
But how much does fatigue play a part in all
of those things? Because there isn't very much, especially when
you go beyond you know, having a sweep and you
got to go later on into these series. How much
do you think that plays a part and some of
these teams maybe possibly having a chance against some of
these other teams and these matchups moving forward.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
Well, I would say the remedy to that real quick
is to do what Anthony Edwards did.
Speaker 10 (27:52):
And go ahead and get him.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
Up out of here in five games, so you can
have those extra days of red because the NBA has
done a good job this season with the scheduling between
the series, like I mean not between the series, but
like in between game from Game one the game two,
it's like one or two days here. The Lakers had
some good rents in between the series. I don't know
how they didn't get it together, but that's the thing
with the conditioning. Like for like a lot of these teams,
(28:15):
like the Calves and Thunder, that's why I'm picking them
to go far this year.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Because they have the depth.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
They have the younger legs as well, So that's why
I'm going with those teams because they have they can
go eight deep, nine deep, ten deep. We see the
caves they got Todd Jerome, DeAndre Hunter. They going deep
into their bench. So that's why I feel like it's
a change of the guard now the older teams on
a struggle. The Lakers were built to win a three
game series. They weren't really built to win a seven
game series, if that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
And this is why the Rockets will probably have an
advantage tomorrow. Yes, it's because they have so many young players.
Dylan Brooks is a starter. Dude didn't play much at
all in the second half.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
He's a starter.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
How many teams can put a starter on the bench
in keeping there the entirety of the fourth quarter, the
majority of the third quarter and still win a game.
There's not too many teams that can do that. When
you have depth and you have young guys that can
come in and give you a spark on both sides
of the ball, and they're young, you have an advantage.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I just think the way that they're playing in that
group they had on the basketball court, and the way
that Van Fleet was playing, and the Golden State started
this hack of Steven Adams, I mean he went down
for sixteen fifty three from the free throw line, and
that kind of backfired on them also because that didn't work.
But when you have a unit on the court and
(29:39):
they were playing as well as they were, you know,
last night, I think Adoku realized that he was going
to continue to sit Brooks on the bench because you know,
some of these games, man, he'd be out of pocket,
you know, making these crazy files. They have a chance
to get back to home and play a Game seven
(29:59):
on their court and he's running around, you know, taking
everything personal, making these dumb files and all these bad plays.
And I think with Doku man, he made his mind
up when they came out and they hit that first
three six minutes into the fourth quarter, and he was
just like, you know what I'm gonna wrong with this
group that I got on the court right now.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Had cuffs a blast man. Why Jimmy Butler doesn't play?
Kuminga finally gets some burn, they win the game.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
What Kuminga that Steve Kurrz like you not playing because
he's six' nine and he's.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Athletic.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
Man the thing With, kaminga he's such a enigma because
you've seen him get.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
Thirty you've seen.
Speaker 9 (30:41):
Him you've seen nights even in the regular season where
he'll get, thirty, right you see him get. Thirty just
off like you, said sheer. Athleticism he looked like a
shorter A Mari startomeyer, like it's a shorter version of A.
Mari this explosive top five athlete in THE. Nba it's.
Puzzling but if you watch the, film he has his
(31:01):
BASKETBALL iq is just very. Low AND i just twl
like if a trust thing With Steven, kurr it's an
individual trust. Thing so we can all watch the game
and say the same, thing, like, man you need this
athleticism because look at What Jabari smith is doing to.
Y'all there's no way on Watching Jabari smith get in
the pain shoot that little fadaway jumper over and. Over
And i'm not Putting kaminga out there who's six eight
(31:23):
six nine great wingspan. Athleticism you're, right BUT i just
feel Like steve kurt, does he doesn't Trust Aaminga And Moses.
Moody shout out To Moses. Moody he's tired of being.
Humble you see what he did last. Night he tried
to dunk on the whole team last, Night Like Moses.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
Moody has showed. Up but you know he was In
steve kirk doghouse for the last two.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Years so that's been one of the criticisms that knocks
On Steve. Curry even though he has the, rings the four.
Rings The warriors fan base will tell you, this like
they get frustrated with his uses of young. Players he's
an old stool guy from The Greg popovich coaching. Tree
shout out the coach pop he, retired LIKE i feel like.
Stubborn sometimes he's very stubborn, sometimes so he's really gonna
(32:05):
have to coach Because. Udokah shout out To. Udoka he's
showing the basketball world why he took The Boston celtics
and he led The selfis to the finals just a
few years. Ago you, know before he.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
Started you, know.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
He is a defensive. Genius he's going from. Zone you
see how he's switching up the matchup. Zone he's going
from man to. Zone these matchups are crazy on, Defense Boston. One,
yeah you're. Right SO i feel like his Young rockets
are buying into his philosophy on, defense and they're making
these games. Ugly if y'all remember a few weekends, AGO
i said, IT i said The rockets have to muck
(32:42):
the series. Up and that's What udokah's teams are known.
Speaker 10 (32:44):
For that's their.
Speaker 9 (32:45):
Identity they're making it ugly and.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
They have the perfect roster to make it.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
Ugly Tarry, Easton Dylan, Brooks like you, Said Jervari, Smith
Fred Van, vliet these are guys who feel like they
were underrated coming out of. College these guys were under
everybody talked about The Steph currys and all these. Guys
that's WHY i love this series and it's so. Intriguing
so y'all almost got me wanted to put my money
on the.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Rockets Now i'm almost feeling like it might.
