The slim free money, snap these.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Money sniper against them bucks man, great game, man, just
seeing him and Jannis go aht it. But thirty eight
eight and three, you know what I'm saying, the sun
looking like they give him a little late push kind
of stuff kind of yeah, they give him a little
late push. So great game, I mean, great game. Uh man.
It was two Titans going at it. But KD did
(00:59):
this thing no down stretch.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, no doubt. That was definitely.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You know, you came in hot with the easy money snipers,
so I had to go with the left tholver. But
I ain't got nothing too shabby, dog, I got my
young boy, Kobe White, you talking about it way, go listen, listen,
thirty six over the last three games.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But they ain't even the temp of the icebury. Black.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You know, this man been played a week back to
back weeks the last two weeks. You know, do you
know the last person to do that for the Chicago
Bulls though.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It was ball here doorskin, dude, you hear me, you
hear me.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
He the first Bulls player to do that since MJ.
Dog like that.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Let you know, the left will hoop and he on
right now, young boy Kobe White is killing out here
afterging thirty six over the last three but them two
weeks he went crazy and they won games, and they
creeping up that love lodder.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We're gonna get to that when we look at them
standings later.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
But yeah, this Cobe shout out, shout out, Kobe White,
you know, at the holing it down, putting up. No,
he's been putting a few people on posters too. For
a look, God getting up top on you off that
one leg.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I have seen him. I have seen it with my
own eyes. Black. Yeah, all right, we're gonna keep the
movie man.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
We had last night, we had the we had the
return of Jimmy Buckets to South Beach, Like, what did
you think of that game? Obviously that he got the
W one, twelve, the eighty six, but but tell me
your thoughts on the game overall?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Oh, the game overall, I just felt like the Warriors
was flat. It couldn't really make shots. Jimmy wasn't aggressive.
He played a cool game. He just was seemed like
he was just pacing. Bam came out right away. It
was aggressive. Tyler was doing his thing, you know, Burke,
(02:49):
the Miami Heat just kicked their ass for real. You know,
they had the control of the game the whole game.
You know, Warriors made a few spurs, but seemed like
Warriors couldn't make no shots. And one thing to war
just gotta do. They gotta hit them threes and they
gotta make some threes. But Jimmy, uh, his performance was aggressive,
you know what I'm saying. Like I was, I thought
he was gonna be, but you know, it is what
(03:11):
it is.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Get it over with.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I was surprised that they wasn't that they didn't like
shake up or say nothing each other.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
None of them really liked that.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That was a surprise to me from a players standpoint,
like the players, and like.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I seen them in I seen them in the in
the pre game, right in the pre game year, I
seen him interact with love. Yeah, it's a lot of
still tension now, you know what I'm saying, And that
that stuff happened just a month and a half ago.
That's not a long time. I feel like next year
it'll probably be a better reaction to things, But it's
(03:46):
still a lot of tension there.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You know, it's a quick turnaround from the deadline to
now though that that was, like you say, only a
quick little month ago, So like you said, it hadn't
been a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, I thought I thought.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I was surprised that they gave him they did the video.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I thought they I thought that was definitely appropriate to do.
I mean, you gotta do that. They had, you know
what I'm saying, No matter how things again that bad
way that you can't still do the video.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I felt like I.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Felt like they should have it. He would have received
it better if he would received it waited next year
to do.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I feel you, I feel you still was so close.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Intension still, but you.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Know, I think they just did it because it's like people,
people would have made such a big deal of it, like, oh,
they being petty, and they didn't. So I think that's
probably why they did it, because they know, you know,
that's the right thing to do, and then people would
have made a bigger deal than it really was. But like, yeah,
I feel you on it. I agree, but I did
I saw. I feel like Bam came out on business.
Bam put he was hooping, like why a while. He
(04:48):
came out aggressive, like you know what I'm saying, taking
that thing off the rim, going coach to coach, Duncan,
doing all that, like shooting threes.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I liked it. I liked the game.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I felt like they you know, they came out, they
protected the crib, you know what I'm saying. I like
Wiggins fit how he's looking in over there like he
didn't have a crazy game last night, but obviously he
had that forty two the other night, and he looking
like the records out there for them, So I like that.
I like the I like the direction that going, even
though the Warriors, like you said, they didn't have stuff
that's a huge blow. We know that's you know what
(05:17):
I'm saying, that's what he is to the team and
what he's been since Jimmy got there, so we know
that he would have been a difference maker and they
gonna be different when he get back.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So I feel you we can move on to the
Knicks game. The Knicks.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You know what I man, they snacked up the man,
the Mans, the infirmery.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's not g Marshall boy been getting busy though, Black
Have you been watching him? Yeah, he been getting busy, busy,
like showing that like, hey, all right, whatever happened when
we get all the way back, Like I'm one of
them that need to be out here in the midst
of these things. And I know you know what I'm saying,
j Kidd take takes stocking that because he hadn't hard
nosed kid, no nonsense.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
He ain't backing down from nobody. I like. I like
his nake up. What do you think of him? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I like him. Marshall be getting busy. You know, this
is what this league gives you, and give guys opportunity.
The next guy got to step up when you have
injuries and stuff like that, just like Grimes over there
with the seventy six stepped up. Like so you know,
MAV's just doing what the maths. Dude, Nicks post got
this win and they got it and you know, MAVs
(06:21):
just coasting.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You know, hey, that was that was that was? Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Them boys both had triple doubles though, black Cat and
Josh Hart same game.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That's that. That was like the first time I think
maybe ever from New.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
York probably is because that's not yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I think it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, Like like I'm telling you, man, telling me what
I just I just if they didn't get rid of
Deevichenz though, man, even if they kept Josh Hart, I
still I like Josh Hart there, bro, I like what
he do. You know me, I like the rebound and.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
As as like I said, keep keep Josh Hart, keep
jas hard.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So so you still that the Knicks can't get past Cleveland,
they can't get past Boston.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And depending on the Bucks situation, they can't get past
the Bucks.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay, Okay, well damn sorry New York. That's how that's
how that's going for y'all. Let's move on to the
to the Rockets Hawks game. This was a good game,
black You know what I'm saying. Jalen Green went out
there and was explosive explosive, explosive. I like the fact
you went out there and got them rebounds, but like this,
(07:38):
this is the question I want to ask you, bro,
Does Dyson Daniels deserve more credit as far as.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The defensive player of the year and the damn most
improved player? He definitely do like he he like he
in a position where he could win both for coming
second in both or something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Right, Yeah, I definitely feel that or win one or
the other. Like he's doing his thing like it's it's
great to watch. But one thing I want to do.
I know the Rockets won this game, and they've been
representing down the stretch, which is good for them. But man,
you don't put enough respect on Trey Young. Man what
(08:18):
Tray Young frings to the table? Man, I hate to
see what he go through. Man, I don't remember a
time where I'm like, it's Trey Young and this and
this other superstar guy. You know what I'm saying. He's
like the only superstar that really ain't really had that
one superstar with him to really see what he can
actually capable of doing.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And Jackson Boy was coming on and he got hurt.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, So man, shout out to Trey Young, but shout
out to them, Rockets were getting to win man because
all these all these games count from now on out.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Hey, I feel like Fred van Vliet, like especially down
this stretch, these last couple of weeks or so, he
really showing his value to this young.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Team as a as a vet.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's like, you know what, say they got Jeff Green
off over there with the championship pedigree and experience, but
we know he don't get the same type of minute.
Fred van Vliet is a starter with that same type
of you know, he got the championship pedigree and he
dine popped out, you know what I'm saying. Twenties, thirties,
you know what I'm saying, getting busy, hitting threes and
he you already know he a hard nosed defensive play
and all that. But like he been stepping up big
(09:21):
for them down in stretch. I feel like he'd been
huge for them. So shout out Fred van Vliet.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I definitely agree.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
All right, let me get that graphic up there, please
and thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Put that Western Western Conference bracket up there.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The standards.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Some thunders didn't sprint sprint, They didn't sprint it to
that that dag sixty win Mark Black, bro, what do
you think? What do you think of this bracket here?
The Lakers didn't slip slip slip man and got down
the number five.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, they you know, they having injury problems and they
trying to get the rhythm back that they had. They
got a nice little schedule to stretch on the end,
and you know they just fight like all of them. Man,
the West is super tough, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So the Clippers eight and two in the last team bro,
Kawhi out there hooping. You know, James harden All NBA started,
so but do you know what I'm saying, Like to
have Kawhi back in then he looking like he getting
you know what I'm saying, getting back in the form,
getting the rust off.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, I think them man like they's fighting to see who.
I think them Timberwolves and Clippers fighting to see who's
gonna get that sixth spot. You know what I'm saying.
I don't think the Lakers gonna slip that much where
they're gonna be in the fight with them. But I
think the Warriors, them Clippers and them Timberwolves gonna fight
for a spot. I'm glad to see the Suns in
it and love to see them in the play in.
(10:40):
I think that's gonna be really solidified. This is the
teams that we're gonna see now. I don't know if
stuff might switch up, but I feel like this is
gonna be the teams we're gonna see and.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Play.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, but I think at the seventh spot, if the
Clippers can hold the seventh spot, I think they would
love to play the Rockets first round. You know what
I'm saying. I think they love to play the Rockets
first round.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So what you what do you think about the little
straight the little stretch the Sun's been on, Ben, They
got like a four game winning streak.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You know what I'm saying, They playing well.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I was listening to KD in the post game just
saying he feels like they locking in and trying to
you know, not not worrying about as much stuff they
were worrying about earlier in the season and trying to
focus in like and you know, they starting to come around.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
What you think of them.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I still think it's not working, but I think they
definitely even when it's not working, they should be in
the mix. That shouldn't be the excuse I couldn't see
the Suns being a tense seed, but you know that
West is real heavy and dirty. The MAVs, I like,
I don't want them to bile out, but I want
(11:44):
them to bil out, Like I just don't want to
see them, you know what I'm saying, No disrespect to them.
I just want them to be a healthy team because
I'm excited to see what they bring to the table
when it's time to bring it to the table.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Anybody do any fighting catch then if they just because
because you know, like they doing the right thing, being
cautious about everything, I respect a d will still want
to be out there and like you know damn that,
like I'm good, I could play and those different things,
but but still taking it light because they know that
it's not a real upside or a big deal for
the rest of this season, So I respect it. Yeah,
(12:22):
we move over to this East down the Eastern standards.
Now them Celtics, Man, I hate to see see young
Jay Broler's ankle land on Sabona's foot. But Celtics being
hookings nine to one. Last team, they four and a
half behind the Calves. You I don't know if they
really care to catch them or whatever, but they really could.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't think they I don't think they gonna catch them,
and I don't think they're gonna focus on trying to
catch them. I think they're gonna focus on trying to
get healthy and stay right.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think these are the teams that's gonna be locked in.
Toronto is an eleventh spot, but they like five games back,
so I don't really think they're gonna catch the Heat.
I think the Heat and the Bulls is gonna fight
for who get home court advantage.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I'm looking for it to really kind of be like this.
I really think it's gonna be like this. The only
teams that I think that might change spots is the
Heat in the Bulls. I think everybody else is gonna
be kind of locked in where they at, uh for
the rest of it. And I'm excited. I'm excited to
see what's gonna go on with it with the east
(13:33):
Man because that's gonna be good. That's gonna be some
good series. I hope the I hope the Pacers and
the Bucks play each other. I hope there. I hope
the Bucks are healthy to play them because they gonna party.
You know what I'm saying, Like Alan Burn, there, they
gonna party, they gonna talk to, they ship, and it's
you know, this is what it is, you know, and
(13:55):
I just hope they have two healthy teams playing against
each other. I'm cited again, like last week. I'm for
them Nicks and Pistons to play and then you know,
the rest is history. I'm excited to see the Magic
play the Cavs again, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm excited for the Magic to be in the playoffs again.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You know, even though we had a down year, this
shows what type of program coach Mosey is building. I mean,
we were decimated by injury. When your top two guys
who just gave the Lakers the business, and you heard
how Luca talking about them, Both of them guys were
down for months at a time with the same crazy injury.
And then we lose Moe Vogunen who's like a heart
(14:32):
and soul dude, and we lose all defensive player for
the rest of the your Jalen Suggs.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I mean, we just hit out the hit. We couldn't.
We couldn't. I mean to be here.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
At eight and still sustaining and having a chance to
fight and play meaningful games, to loot the coach mos
and all of the guys, and you know there was
next man up doing what they're doing, or just to
keep the ship afloat.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, I ain't no use french.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Man talk about another team. Bro, what you're talking about? Man?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Here you go, you we win and stuff. So yeah, yeah, man,
I'm excited. I think I think there's a lock for
the ten teams. You know, stuff can change, you know, rastly,
but you know, I think that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Do you think? Do you think?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So you don't care if the Calves get home court
or whatever. They just ain't beating them to the teams,
I mean, they pretty much got it sold up the
home court.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
No, I think I think the Calves will beat everybody else.
I think they have a better chance beating everybody else.
I just think the Celtics overall is a better team
than them. I think, Uh, I think the Celtics is
just the team. You know, you just can't deny it.
Like you know, I get on here and you know
I give somebody else a chance sometimes, but to be
(15:51):
in reality, when you really look at it and break
it down, if the Celtics are healthy. The Celtics are
going to the championship.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Okay, so O G O G.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Sam Cosell's a you know, he's part of that staff
over there. He said that this current team right now,
it's such a current team is more skilled than the
eight championship team.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Do you agree.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
More skilled?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Mm hmm h.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I ain't roll that? Why not?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Because man, you you got Ray, you got Paul, you
got Ticket, you got anything you work on the on
the board, you you kind of got.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
When he's saying more skill though, because they go deeper
with the with with with the skill level, like after
you say them first five and you come off the
bench and ain't no disrespect like the house.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And and and and and all of them they was killers.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
But but you had Posy, you had PJ. Brown, like
this one't like yeah nah.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, he said, nah.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm just I'm under the mind that I'm rolling because
Cassell was part of that and he know better than
I feel like I do. And he's saying that because
he's seeing it on an everyday basis, and he saw
eight on an everyday basis.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So that's why I'm agreeing with him.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I'm gonna, you know, if you're going for that. These
kids are different, but you was dealing with three veterans
that had veteran careers. They was Hall of Famous before
they for raying and KG got there. I understand it,
but I don't man.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
They got like six max players broy But.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
We're gonna get out. We digressed.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Look look at this bulls man eighty two in the
last ten put up my main man, Kobe White graphing.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You see that right there? Black? Do you see that
right there? Black? That's why he was about to get
but thirty point six the last ten games. You hear me?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, out here hooping and he went to the same school,
Sat College, the MJ went to just saying, you know
what I'm saying. He only the other Boys player to
do that back to back player of the week.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Man, Kobe White out.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
There, you gotta shoot there.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Who he with? I think he with Nike? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Mike need to switch him over to Jordan if he's
finna do this. He already part of the North Carolina
that's hard Hill family, Like, you might as well gonna
switch him on over to the other side, man, because man,
that boy been balling and I feel like you know
what I feel with Kobe. I feel like he did
like with I t he didn't found something and he
(18:43):
then figured it out, you know what I'm saying. Like,
so like I don't see Kobe not being a bucket
get her from now on.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The other cold part too, he he legit is one
of the dudes in the league that played under C
P three, a team he coached him.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So like that's that's crazy to see. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
He gottaqn here. Good good kid man. I wonna call
him no kid man. He a good man. He Uh yeah, Man,
I like to think about Kobe White. I was I
was shaky on I didn't know how he was gonna
really pan out. But to see him doing this, man,
I'm happy for him. He's the one watch man. He
(19:26):
the one without watching. I'm a fan of his game.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So you definitely figured it out, Dude's digital say Kobe balling? Yes, Yes,
he is absolutely. Uh he got a chance to win
the Most Improved Too though or something like that. I
don't know what his average was last year, but I
know just the production from from from last year to
this year he went. He didn't win crazy, That's what happened.
(19:49):
You know, they made some moves, open some space up over.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
There and here you go. All right, let's get to
these uh these NBA awards.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Black you you give me your thoughts, you know you
like the rub hands like bird man?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Who who who your uh who? Your coach of the Year?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Coach of the Year is Cleveland Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson.
I feel like, you know, a lot of good coaches
out there, A lot of coaches had good years. He
made different coaches, but at the end of the day,
man Kenny did his thing this year when nobody thought
the cast was gonna be overalled up the oneber one
(20:31):
team all year. So, you know, shout out to Kenny
Ackson and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I've been saying Kenny Atkinson the whole year, right, and
I still think he probably should and will get it.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
But I'm gonna say JB.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Bickerstaff has to be right up in there because the
what he's been able to do with the Detroit Pistons
bro from what.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
They were last year.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
They're winning over forty games this year and be in
the playoff picture prominently not in the play in and
like just the way that that turnaround. Nobody saw that
coming that quick, you know what I'm saying, not in
one year, bro Like they like that deserves some huge
credit because the difference.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Is there with Cleveland and what he was able to
do going there.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Is like Cleveland had all stars already on they you
know what I'm saying, They had bona fide all Stars
and they had three of them this year. And I
mean part of that was definitely because of the way
Kenny Atkinson put him in a position to succeed. But
I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if JB be
right there or he win it, or he get a
lot of votes, and it's a close call because what
(21:41):
he's done in Detroit nobody saw coming. Like you can
still see Kenny A getting to Cleveland. They doing well,
maybe not this well Wire or Wire best team in
the league. Nobody probably saw that. But like Detroit, nobody
saw that turnaround being this big from one year to
the next. I thought it would be a couple of
years and maybe but then like, hey, we're gonna see
(22:03):
who you got for Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Bro Castle Stephan Castle from San Antonio. I think he's
the Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
To me, I'm with you there.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I think, hey, listen, the boy exactly we should say, though,
like he didn't show me he gonna be cool, he
gonna be I didn't know, you know what I'm saying,
Like he came overseas, I didn't know what even, like
he didn't came on to it like okay, okay, now he.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Didne got comfortable.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You know, sometimes you gotta get people some time to
get familiar and get get comfortable and get get settled in.
I think he didn't settled in and like you you
could see he gonna be all right, he'd be out
there hooping.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Boy.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
But I agree with you. I got Stephan Castle as
the Rookie of the year most improved. Who you got?
I see, Dizzy DiCaprio. We're gonna go go with the same.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
The two guys who just been talking about Daniels and
Kobe I think, uh, them two guys is the two
guys that I think I don't get either order the
one of them won't get most a proof.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
You said, you said Dyson Daniels or or Kobe White. Yeah,
what about k Cunningham in that I.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Wouldn't put him in that.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
He was already like he was that dude already.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Been the best player on the team. He already been that.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, I agree with you there, So I would say, yeah,
between Daniels and and Kobe too, But they may put
k Cunningham in there, you know how they do sometimes.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What else is it we got for m v P.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I have Shay Gil Chris Alexander with a side of
the Joker. That's my order.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I just gotg point blank man just hit sixty sixty
straight games of twenty points some more Bro and you know,
the only other person in the history to ever do that.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, I know when you started getting them a little
you know, you and him in a little box on the.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Thing, and they said nobody else did this. But y'all,
like this is just solidifying, you know what I'm saying.
He got his team, got the best record in the West,
even did that. He averaged what he asks. But like
now he just you know, he tacking little things down
and make a little window dressing for it, to dress
it up and make it look all nice. So I'm
straight sga. There we got for six man bro six
(24:36):
Man of the Year.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Uh, I got a Pritcher I got Preacher from the Celtics.
I think he's probably a sixth Man of the Year.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I'm with you there. I'm going I'm going with Peyton.
Peyton Pritcher.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
He been killing like the fact that him, Like they
got like three dudes that could break their team's single
season record for threes in one year. They got three
dudes at the train, so like, yeah, no, it's it's
crazy what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
So yeah, I'm gonna go with Pritrick.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
All right, that's it for the war was like, hey,
what you think about the about the league?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Hold on, you ain't say defensive player.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, I thought we talked about that. We want Dison Daniels. Okay,
let's go defens You.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Said most improved, we said Dyson things.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh my bad, go way to reel me back in
defensive player of the Year.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Then I definitely got Dyson Daimes.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Okay, okay, you putting it. You're pushing the tests to
the table.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hey listen, I'm going I'm going Dison Daniels too, though
I was. I was right there between. Then Jackson got hurt.
He you know what I'm saying. He went Wemby would
have been the runaway when he went down. That's when
you consider everybody else. Wemby had to. He was the
runaway guy with it.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I'm like, I'm going Dice and Daniels.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
They're saying Draymond and crept up in there, but I'm going,
I'm I'm going with the young fella man averaging over
three steals a game and then just the whole way
he impacts the game with the deflections and all of that,
like man, man, handsy bro, he'd be out the active
hands like a movie.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Like Draymond is a prime example to me, like I
think I was with Zebra and Tony Ellen. Man, when
you're on the losing team and stuff is not going right,
you don't see what a defensive player really brings to
the table. When you see when Jimmy got over there,
they start winning some games, you start seeing you start
(26:34):
really seeing what Draymond defensive wise brings to the table,
you know what I'm saying. So you know, when you're
on the winning team, you see it more. When you're not,
it's like it disappears with all the other fuck shit
that be going on. So like, man, I definitely respect
Draymond and what he's been doing man, he's definitely been
doing this thing. But I definitely got Dice and.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Games, yeah, nah, Draymond and defensive wiz. We all know that.
But like you said, I think it's getting more highlighted.
You know, he's the loudest person on the court every time.
He always doing instead of being a lineback out there
just you know what I'm saying, being a general the
whole time. But that's how I go. Like you said,
it's the league. When you lose and they don't really
(27:17):
you know what I'm saying, ain't none of that, we
don't care. That's cool, But when you do start winning,
to change up. They tell me this, bro, They talking
about the league voting on having a new league in Europe, Like,
what do you think about that?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I think I think it's interesting, you know, I think
it's interesting. It was always was an interesting thing. I
heard Lebron then was trying to and Mary them was
trying to start some type of league over there too,
So but I think it's interesting. I think I think
(27:55):
it would have been done. Is the time difference could
have made since you know what I'm saying, and over league.
But I think it's interesting. You know, I don't want to.
I don't want to see this though. This is what
I don't want to see if you are going to
do something like that. I don't want to see guys
win the NBA Championship and then you got somebody they
win the championship over there, then you try to play
them together, and then that's the alternate championship. Like I
(28:20):
don't want see nothing like that. But I think it's
interest because like, man, they coming over by the boat load,
and now.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's what it is to me, just like the game
has grown, you know what I'm saying that that significantly
that like now they like, look it's it's it's it's
this is an opportunity, this is a there's a space
for that and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's what it tells you.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
The game has grown significantly, you know, globally that now
they're looking at it across sea, Like you say, so
many of them coming over here to play it. It's
like it's some that they're still professionally just like here
it's guys that don't make the NBA that's still pro level.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So like they like it's a it's a it's a
it's a place for that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So I just love it because it's another place for
guys to be able to go and make money if
they don't make the NBA or date.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You know what I'm saying, no longer in the NBA.
So I'm all for more.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Avenues for hoopers to be able to go and fulfill
their dream and hoop and get paid. So to me,
that's dope from that standpoint. All right, man, let's get
to these these fan questions. Black, these fan questions. Put
them on the board. Cowboy, I mean cowboy, I always
tap in with we appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Bro Q and d is different.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Playoff experience and veteran roster enough to get them to
the Western Finals again.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I definitely agree they have enough to go to the final,
the Western Conference finals again. Uh, you know, one of
them them young boys gonna have to have an Anthony
Edward was year like last year to kind of knock
them out. They're not They're not a tough They are tough.
They're a tough team to beat.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I think they definitely got the playoff experience and the
good in the veteran roster to do it. I mean,
like you say, you still you gotta go out there
and do it. They just like, they know, you gotta
go out there and put the game on the court.
But I think they roster I think yeah, I think
they got the good enough roster to do it. Dude,
Digital Thunder gonna win it all this year?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I don't know, but I think they got a good chance.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, I don't think they gonna win it all.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
If be asking that, I definitely think they got a
chance to get to the finals, get to the championship,
win the West. But I'm still rolling with them Celtics
until further notice, until they show me something otherwise. Appreciate that.
Dude's digital.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Joe Montard, Hey, that's our guy.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
When you guys first got to the league, who was
the first person you really wanted to fight? Not because
they were busting your abba, because they were just talking
so much.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I think the first person I got into it with
was uh uh Brian Russell, Barron Russell from the Jazz,
from the Jazz when he played with the Jazz. That
was the first person I got into it with.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Uh, I don't even that's my guy now, you know,
you know I was, I was young and hot, you know,
same thing.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
With Posey Man. I was talking stuff to Posey preseason prosy, like, man,
who are you talking to?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I can't even remember the first person I really got
into it with like this.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I can't remember now for the first couple of years.
Was kind of.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Might have been Matt harp Ring when he was in
Utah early. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Man was dirty as hell. Yeah, man was dirty, but
that didn't really want no smoke.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Man was a football player. I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I mean, he just was running hard, nose, play hard,
run through the wall, ass boys, and I was like, man, god,
damn Kanye as damn.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
But yeah, I think I can't remember for sure.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Nick Kerr, you guys think Jimmy provides enough offense His
age to help the words make a playoffs run sometimes
feels like another Dramond out there.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, I think he got enough offense.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I think he got enough, But I think they still
need to figure out their identity with him. I don't
think this is the year I think they This summer
is gonna be a big summer for them making big
decisions on Kamingo. What they're gonna do. If they're gonna
try to bring somebody else in with them to help out,
they definitely need a big man, you know, So yeah,
(32:41):
I think he do got enough though.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, I definitely think he got enough that he brings
enough offense. Then you know playoffs has winning Playoffs Jimmy times,
So I mean, you know he wanted the best winning
in there.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
So we'll see Cowboy the Knicks the best for Jayalen Brunson.
I mean I don't. That's why I see him being
a perfect for that, Like it's his team, Like that's
his show over there right now. I can't even mension
(33:13):
him nowhere else.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I can't even picture him nowhere else. I think, yeah,
right now, solidify as a nick.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I agree. I agree point Goud could Damon started mind dunk?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, Dan's dunk wasn't like you know, it wasn't like no,
no Westbrook nun but he could don't.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, they ain't definitely dunk that thing.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, you would probably wanted to scribe with everybody else. No,
man like Mason, I always want to fight somebody.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Reign in Game seven O seven Start Bench Trade nineties
Video Games edition, Gouse versus like Bekers, NBA Live ninety
seven NBA.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Jam Man, That Bulls versus Lakers.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Was just like the that was the yellow part of
that second genis joint that was that was the start
of the start of it.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
So I gotta go with the original, Like even though
even though NBA Jam was just the phenomenon, it was
the ship back then. But bull versus Lakers that was it.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
So who you started being trained?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Starting the Bulls mentioning NBA Jams, trading NBA Live.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I'm starting NBA Live ninety seven because it's dope as
Bulls versus Lakers was the actual game. Couldn't hold a
candle to the Live ninety seven Live back seven was lit.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
The time, at the time when it dropped, it could
it was the best thing out, So you.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Couldn't go to that.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
But that's what I'm saying, were looking back at all
three on that NBA line, ninety seven was the best
thaying out when it came out too. But out of
the three, I'm gonna go Live ninety seven Rules versus Lakers,
NBA dreams. Good question right in the game those digital
Q and D. How long would it take for the
mass to recover for this season? I just think the summer.
I think when they come back next year, you know,
(35:18):
depending on winning and how long he's gonna take Kyrie.
But I think even with Kyrie being hurt, I think
as long as everybody else is healthy and getting, you know,
ready to go, they should be a whole whole lot
better than they are right now. Like you said, it's
a lot of guys getting a chance to play. They
discovering some young boys. It's got some talent, and you'll
see how they shake out and you'll see what you know,
(35:38):
what the summer brings, what they add and bring to
the team or whatever however they do that. But I
think with everybody as they are, if they just get healthy,
they'd be a lot better.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
But next year, yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Start bench trade.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Oh my tard underappreciated shooting guards ooh Alan Houston H
two O Steve miss I got Schmitty was spree in
real two?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Or was he more but three? Black?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I think earlier earlier he was a two and he
wound up being a three late in his career.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah, I agree with that. Who you started benching trading here? Right?
Speaker 3 (36:15):
This is tough though, But I would go with man.
I would go with Smitty. I would start Smitty. Damn,
I would start Smitty. I would bench Allen and I
trade Damn I traded free. Well, man, I don't want trade.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I'm going in that same order. I'm going that same
order Smitty H two oh and s free. And I'm
biased because I you know, I was. I like guards
that could post up and Smitty could post up. So yeah,
it's a podcast podcast. It's our people too. Question for
Fe and B if you were to be dropped into
the NBA in twenty twenty five, which team that you
(36:55):
want to play for and which team do you think
was realistic, realistically be the best fit for your play style.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Anywhere?
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Shit? Who would I want to play for? Man? Man,
I probably want to play with them Warriors. Man, how
they just run and.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Just send me to Boston.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Send me to Boston that boy, want them boy to
shoot ten to three per player per game. Send me
to Boston. I could go out there and fit right in.
Just let him fly, Just let him fly, Sam Marler,
Sam five years from now, what are we going to
(37:39):
be saying about him?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Be woo? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I mean he was he who won the best winners
of this era.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, he definitely, we can't take that from him.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
He gonna be he one of the best big men
ever but as far as like the injury stuff, I
don't know if that'll, you know, change some of the
narrative was like, because it'll become a summer that how
good could he have been if he doesn't recover from
these injuries part of it? But I hope, I hope
we talking about him still hooping and he didn't got
got his body together and he didn't figure it out.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
D Miles on the Warriors would be nice be out
there going crazy. See.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I got d Miles with Charlotte with Nello for the
easy oop, or Luca was somewhere somebody throwing them lives
on head catching lives.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Just placed me big kapper.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I got cute rich and at l Trey Young for
the catch and shoot, hey, I'm all for that.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Lying me up. Just let me stand over here somewhere.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Ooh, start bench trade Iversen d Rose, Jah Moran, bo
Jahn Moran getting traded.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
We get that out the way. That and even a question.
Go ahead you Oh, I was listening for you. Go ahead. Start.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I'm gonna start Ai. I'm gonna bench d Rose and
I'm gonna trade John Morant.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
I'm gonna follow that cab.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yeah, I'm gonna follow that cab.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Will the NBA allowed guys to go to the league
trade from high school again, that's a good question, man,
they should.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I don't know why they ever stopped it.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
I don't think they will now. N I l deal
guys getting I don't think that's kind of that was
really slowed down because that was really one of the
biggest reasons you guys.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Were gonna get that money.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
But you know, guys can get that money in college.
Some guys will make more money than the.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
High school too. Now depending on where you were, they
get money in high school. And I think it's over with.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
So I'm a rare breede, just in case y'all was asking,
you know, the last of a time breed.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
You know, I.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Ride up tv Q and D. Who's the most athletic
teammate y'all played with?
Speaker 3 (40:14):

I have two. Uh Rudy Gaye and Travis Outlaw was
super athletic.

Ashley Robinson said, Rudy Gables was fired in that voice too.
All right, we got the start of the day black
last night, Josh Hard finished with sixteen points twelve rebounds
in eleven to six, while Carl Anthony Town had twenty six,
twelve and eleven, becoming the first pair of teammates in
(41:37):
New York Knicks history to record a triple double in
the same damn game.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
What you thought of that? Black?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
I thought that was dope. You know, that was definitely
dope to see New York and had a.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Lot of that's crazy to say that's the first.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
So you know, I definitely think that's a dope stat
you know.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, yeah, all that history that you came through there
the first they could know that's a dope accomplishment, young fellas,
All right, who shouted?
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Who shout of the week is black?
Speaker 3 (42:10):
My shot out of the week is prayers ups and
all your prayers and your love to Juju Watkins big time. Uh,
you know, we was looking forward to her meeting Yukon
and seeing who we're gonna go to the final four,
finishing this season off. It's a sophomore year. Hate to
see it happen, but you know that's what we signed
(42:32):
up for. But man, everybody seen your prayers and love
to Juju. And one thing I see with Juju, like
I seen in page and I see what she I
think she's one of them players that this injury is
gonna make her better. You know what I'm saying. Sometimes
you know, with players, the injury can containt them and
slow them down or they're not gonna be the same.
(42:54):
But with some players, a cl tour is not the end.
It makes them better. It makes concentrate focus on other
things to add to their game when they do come back.
But shout out to Juju and her family. Prayers up, man,
hope you have a speedy recovery and I hope you
come back even stronger.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
I agree, bro, you know this.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
This day and age of the technology, I got one
hundred percent believe she will come back, you know, stronger
and better. So definitely prayers up to Juju. My shot
out of the day. Man, it's along them lines as well. Bro,
you know, uh, shout out to Dame Lillard, man, he
turned injuries off, bro, Like let's say that, like you
(43:35):
know what I'm saying, Like he got the crazy the
blood clock thing. I guess it's similar to what Winby
has and he hasn't. They haven't said he's done, but
they say he's out and definitely they haven't said like
he's out for the season like how they said with Wenby.
But you know, just prayers up to him to Dame
and you know that the best outcome and you know
(43:55):
his health is first and you know, hopefully he's able
to get back on the court as soon as possible.
But for shure, you know what I'm saying, handle that
and get all the way healthy and make sure that's
because that's a crazy situation to be in.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
So you know, shout out to him and prayers up
to him, prayers up to Dame. Man, that's that's. I
know he really want to play right now, playoffs right
around the corner. But man, you know, it's it's just crazy.
Let me ask you this cute four we get up
out of here, though, Like what is this blood clought thing?
Because this is something that never was Like it's just
something that you think folks are eating.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
I know how you get it, bro, It's like it's
always happened. It's been around. It's just very red. It
only happened like once in a blue morning. It's not
like it's something new to just start happening. People had
it years ago and like it's just it's like it's
just weird.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Bro. I can't I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I don't know how to say you get him or
like it's not something that they can say we trained
to prevent or whatever.

Like you've seen whim. He was doing.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Everything and be right and to be in shape. Dang
was taking his hells very seriously, trained hard and do
all them things. So I don't don't know how you
get him. And it's not something that you could just
be like, don't do this and you know, or don't
do that, and it happened. I don't know if it's
something you could say to stay away from to keep
it from happening. It just happens.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
But it's crazy, man, Yeah, it's just crazy.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
The slim free money, snap these.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Money sniper against them bucks man, great game, man, just
seeing him and Jannis go aht it. But thirty eight
eight and three, you know what I'm saying, the sun
looking like they give him a little late push kind
of stuff kind of yeah, they give him a little
late push. So great game, I mean, great game. Uh man.
It was two Titans going at it. But KD did
(00:59):
this thing no down stretch.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, no doubt. That was definitely.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You know, you came in hot with the easy money snipers,
so I had to go with the left tholver. But
I ain't got nothing too shabby, dog, I got my
young boy, Kobe White, you talking about it way, go listen, listen,
thirty six over the last three games.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But they ain't even the temp of the icebury. Black.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You know, this man been played a week back to
back weeks the last two weeks. You know, do you
know the last person to do that for the Chicago
Bulls though.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It was ball here doorskin, dude, you hear me, you
hear me.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
He the first Bulls player to do that since MJ.
Dog like that.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Let you know, the left will hoop and he on
right now, young boy Kobe White is killing out here
afterging thirty six over the last three but them two
weeks he went crazy and they won games, and they
creeping up that love lodder.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We're gonna get to that when we look at them
standings later.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
But yeah, this Cobe shout out, shout out, Kobe White,
you know, at the holing it down, putting up. No,
he's been putting a few people on posters too. For
a look, God getting up top on you off that
one leg.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I have seen him. I have seen it with my
own eyes. Black. Yeah, all right, we're gonna keep the
movie man.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
We had last night, we had the we had the
return of Jimmy Buckets to South Beach, Like, what did
you think of that game? Obviously that he got the
W one, twelve, the eighty six, but but tell me
your thoughts on the game overall?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Oh, the game overall, I just felt like the Warriors
was flat. It couldn't really make shots. Jimmy wasn't aggressive.
He played a cool game. He just was seemed like
he was just pacing. Bam came out right away. It
was aggressive. Tyler was doing his thing, you know, Burke,
(02:49):
the Miami Heat just kicked their ass for real. You know,
they had the control of the game the whole game.
You know, Warriors made a few spurs, but seemed like
Warriors couldn't make no shots. And one thing to war
just gotta do. They gotta hit them threes and they
gotta make some threes. But Jimmy, uh, his performance was aggressive,
you know what I'm saying. Like I was, I thought
he was gonna be, but you know, it is what
(03:11):
it is.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Get it over with.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I was surprised that they wasn't that they didn't like
shake up or say nothing each other.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
None of them really liked that.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That was a surprise to me from a players standpoint,
like the players, and like.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I seen them in I seen them in the in
the pre game, right in the pre game year, I
seen him interact with love. Yeah, it's a lot of
still tension now, you know what I'm saying, And that
that stuff happened just a month and a half ago.
That's not a long time. I feel like next year
it'll probably be a better reaction to things, But it's
(03:46):
still a lot of tension there.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You know, it's a quick turnaround from the deadline to
now though that that was, like you say, only a
quick little month ago, So like you said, it hadn't
been a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, I thought I thought.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I was surprised that they gave him they did the video.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I thought they I thought that was definitely appropriate to do.
I mean, you gotta do that. They had, you know
what I'm saying, No matter how things again that bad
way that you can't still do the video.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I felt like I.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Felt like they should have it. He would have received
it better if he would received it waited next year
to do.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I feel you, I feel you still was so close.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Intension still, but you.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Know, I think they just did it because it's like people,
people would have made such a big deal of it, like, oh,
they being petty, and they didn't. So I think that's
probably why they did it, because they know, you know,
that's the right thing to do, and then people would
have made a bigger deal than it really was. But like, yeah,
I feel you on it. I agree, but I did
I saw. I feel like Bam came out on business.
Bam put he was hooping, like why a while. He
(04:48):
came out aggressive, like you know what I'm saying, taking
that thing off the rim, going coach to coach, Duncan,
doing all that, like shooting threes.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I liked it. I liked the game.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I felt like they you know, they came out, they
protected the crib, you know what I'm saying. I like
Wiggins fit how he's looking in over there like he
didn't have a crazy game last night, but obviously he
had that forty two the other night, and he looking
like the records out there for them, So I like that.
I like the I like the direction that going, even
though the Warriors, like you said, they didn't have stuff
that's a huge blow. We know that's you know what
(05:17):
I'm saying, that's what he is to the team and
what he's been since Jimmy got there, so we know
that he would have been a difference maker and they
gonna be different when he get back.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So I feel you we can move on to the
Knicks game. The Knicks.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You know what I man, they snacked up the man,
the Mans, the infirmery.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's not g Marshall boy been getting busy though, Black
Have you been watching him? Yeah, he been getting busy, busy,
like showing that like, hey, all right, whatever happened when
we get all the way back, Like I'm one of
them that need to be out here in the midst
of these things. And I know you know what I'm saying,
j Kidd take takes stocking that because he hadn't hard
nosed kid, no nonsense.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
He ain't backing down from nobody. I like. I like
his nake up. What do you think of him? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I like him. Marshall be getting busy. You know, this
is what this league gives you, and give guys opportunity.
The next guy got to step up when you have
injuries and stuff like that, just like Grimes over there
with the seventy six stepped up. Like so you know,
MAV's just doing what the maths. Dude, Nicks post got
this win and they got it and you know, MAVs
(06:21):
just coasting.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You know, hey, that was that was that was? Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Them boys both had triple doubles though, black Cat and
Josh Hart same game.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That's that. That was like the first time I think
maybe ever from New.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
York probably is because that's not yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I think it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, Like like I'm telling you, man, telling me what
I just I just if they didn't get rid of
Deevichenz though, man, even if they kept Josh Hart, I
still I like Josh Hart there, bro, I like what
he do. You know me, I like the rebound and.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
As as like I said, keep keep Josh Hart, keep
jas hard.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So so you still that the Knicks can't get past Cleveland,
they can't get past Boston.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And depending on the Bucks situation, they can't get past
the Bucks.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay, Okay, well damn sorry New York. That's how that's
how that's going for y'all. Let's move on to the
to the Rockets Hawks game. This was a good game,
black You know what I'm saying. Jalen Green went out
there and was explosive explosive, explosive. I like the fact
you went out there and got them rebounds, but like this,
(07:38):
this is the question I want to ask you, bro,
Does Dyson Daniels deserve more credit as far as.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The defensive player of the year and the damn most
improved player? He definitely do like he he like he
in a position where he could win both for coming
second in both or something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Right, Yeah, I definitely feel that or win one or
the other. Like he's doing his thing like it's it's
great to watch. But one thing I want to do.
I know the Rockets won this game, and they've been
representing down the stretch, which is good for them. But man,
you don't put enough respect on Trey Young. Man what
(08:18):
Tray Young frings to the table? Man, I hate to
see what he go through. Man, I don't remember a
time where I'm like, it's Trey Young and this and
this other superstar guy. You know what I'm saying. He's
like the only superstar that really ain't really had that
one superstar with him to really see what he can
actually capable of doing.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And Jackson Boy was coming on and he got hurt.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, So man, shout out to Trey Young, but shout
out to them, Rockets were getting to win man because
all these all these games count from now on out.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Hey, I feel like Fred van Vliet, like especially down
this stretch, these last couple of weeks or so, he
really showing his value to this young.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Team as a as a vet.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's like, you know what, say they got Jeff Green
off over there with the championship pedigree and experience, but
we know he don't get the same type of minute.
Fred van Vliet is a starter with that same type
of you know, he got the championship pedigree and he
dine popped out, you know what I'm saying. Twenties, thirties,
you know what I'm saying, getting busy, hitting threes and
he you already know he a hard nosed defensive play
and all that. But like he been stepping up big
(09:21):
for them down in stretch. I feel like he'd been
huge for them. So shout out Fred van Vliet.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I definitely agree.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
All right, let me get that graphic up there, please
and thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Put that Western Western Conference bracket up there.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The standards.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Some thunders didn't sprint sprint, They didn't sprint it to
that that dag sixty win Mark Black, bro, what do
you think? What do you think of this bracket here?
The Lakers didn't slip slip slip man and got down
the number five.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, they you know, they having injury problems and they
trying to get the rhythm back that they had. They
got a nice little schedule to stretch on the end,
and you know they just fight like all of them. Man,
the West is super tough, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So the Clippers eight and two in the last team bro,
Kawhi out there hooping. You know, James harden All NBA started,
so but do you know what I'm saying, Like to
have Kawhi back in then he looking like he getting
you know what I'm saying, getting back in the form,
getting the rust off.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, I think them man like they's fighting to see who.
I think them Timberwolves and Clippers fighting to see who's
gonna get that sixth spot. You know what I'm saying.
I don't think the Lakers gonna slip that much where
they're gonna be in the fight with them. But I
think the Warriors, them Clippers and them Timberwolves gonna fight
for a spot. I'm glad to see the Suns in
it and love to see them in the play in.
(10:40):
I think that's gonna be really solidified. This is the
teams that we're gonna see now. I don't know if
stuff might switch up, but I feel like this is
gonna be the teams we're gonna see and.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Play.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, but I think at the seventh spot, if the
Clippers can hold the seventh spot, I think they would
love to play the Rockets first round. You know what
I'm saying. I think they love to play the Rockets
first round.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So what you what do you think about the little
straight the little stretch the Sun's been on, Ben, They
got like a four game winning streak.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You know what I'm saying, They playing well.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I was listening to KD in the post game just
saying he feels like they locking in and trying to
you know, not not worrying about as much stuff they
were worrying about earlier in the season and trying to
focus in like and you know, they starting to come around.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
What you think of them.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I still think it's not working, but I think they
definitely even when it's not working, they should be in
the mix. That shouldn't be the excuse I couldn't see
the Suns being a tense seed, but you know that
West is real heavy and dirty. The MAVs, I like,
I don't want them to bile out, but I want
(11:44):
them to bil out, Like I just don't want to
see them, you know what I'm saying, No disrespect to them.
I just want them to be a healthy team because
I'm excited to see what they bring to the table
when it's time to bring it to the table.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Anybody do any fighting catch then if they just because
because you know, like they doing the right thing, being
cautious about everything, I respect a d will still want
to be out there and like you know damn that,
like I'm good, I could play and those different things,
but but still taking it light because they know that
it's not a real upside or a big deal for
the rest of this season, So I respect it. Yeah,
(12:22):
we move over to this East down the Eastern standards.
Now them Celtics, Man, I hate to see see young
Jay Broler's ankle land on Sabona's foot. But Celtics being
hookings nine to one. Last team, they four and a
half behind the Calves. You I don't know if they
really care to catch them or whatever, but they really could.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't think they I don't think they gonna catch them,
and I don't think they're gonna focus on trying to
catch them. I think they're gonna focus on trying to
get healthy and stay right.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think these are the teams that's gonna be locked in.
Toronto is an eleventh spot, but they like five games back,
so I don't really think they're gonna catch the Heat.
I think the Heat and the Bulls is gonna fight
for who get home court advantage.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I'm looking for it to really kind of be like this.
I really think it's gonna be like this. The only
teams that I think that might change spots is the
Heat in the Bulls. I think everybody else is gonna
be kind of locked in where they at, uh for
the rest of it. And I'm excited. I'm excited to
see what's gonna go on with it with the east
(13:33):
Man because that's gonna be good. That's gonna be some
good series. I hope the I hope the Pacers and
the Bucks play each other. I hope there. I hope
the Bucks are healthy to play them because they gonna party.
You know what I'm saying, Like Alan Burn, there, they
gonna party, they gonna talk to, they ship, and it's
you know, this is what it is, you know, and
(13:55):
I just hope they have two healthy teams playing against
each other. I'm cited again, like last week. I'm for
them Nicks and Pistons to play and then you know,
the rest is history. I'm excited to see the Magic
play the Cavs again, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm excited for the Magic to be in the playoffs again.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You know, even though we had a down year, this
shows what type of program coach Mosey is building. I mean,
we were decimated by injury. When your top two guys
who just gave the Lakers the business, and you heard
how Luca talking about them, Both of them guys were
down for months at a time with the same crazy injury.
And then we lose Moe Vogunen who's like a heart
(14:32):
and soul dude, and we lose all defensive player for
the rest of the your Jalen Suggs.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I mean, we just hit out the hit. We couldn't.
We couldn't. I mean to be here.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
At eight and still sustaining and having a chance to
fight and play meaningful games, to loot the coach mos
and all of the guys, and you know there was
next man up doing what they're doing, or just to
keep the ship afloat.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, I ain't no use french.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Man talk about another team. Bro, what you're talking about? Man?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Here you go, you we win and stuff. So yeah, yeah, man,
I'm excited. I think I think there's a lock for
the ten teams. You know, stuff can change, you know, rastly,
but you know, I think that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Do you think? Do you think?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So you don't care if the Calves get home court
or whatever. They just ain't beating them to the teams,
I mean, they pretty much got it sold up the
home court.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
No, I think I think the Calves will beat everybody else.
I think they have a better chance beating everybody else.
I just think the Celtics overall is a better team
than them. I think, Uh, I think the Celtics is
just the team. You know, you just can't deny it.
Like you know, I get on here and you know
I give somebody else a chance sometimes, but to be
(15:51):
in reality, when you really look at it and break
it down, if the Celtics are healthy. The Celtics are
going to the championship.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Okay, so O G O G.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Sam Cosell's a you know, he's part of that staff
over there. He said that this current team right now,
it's such a current team is more skilled than the
eight championship team.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Do you agree.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
More skilled?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Mm hmm h.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I ain't roll that? Why not?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Because man, you you got Ray, you got Paul, you
got Ticket, you got anything you work on the on
the board, you you kind of got.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
When he's saying more skill though, because they go deeper
with the with with with the skill level, like after
you say them first five and you come off the
bench and ain't no disrespect like the house.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And and and and and all of them they was killers.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
But but you had Posy, you had PJ. Brown, like
this one't like yeah nah.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, he said, nah.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm just I'm under the mind that I'm rolling because
Cassell was part of that and he know better than
I feel like I do. And he's saying that because
he's seeing it on an everyday basis, and he saw
eight on an everyday basis.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So that's why I'm agreeing with him.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I'm gonna, you know, if you're going for that. These
kids are different, but you was dealing with three veterans
that had veteran careers. They was Hall of Famous before
they for raying and KG got there. I understand it,
but I don't man.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
They got like six max players broy But.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
We're gonna get out. We digressed.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Look look at this bulls man eighty two in the
last ten put up my main man, Kobe White graphing.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You see that right there? Black? Do you see that
right there? Black? That's why he was about to get
but thirty point six the last ten games. You hear me?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, out here hooping and he went to the same school,
Sat College, the MJ went to just saying, you know
what I'm saying. He only the other Boys player to
do that back to back player of the week.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Man, Kobe White out.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
There, you gotta shoot there.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Who he with? I think he with Nike? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Mike need to switch him over to Jordan if he's
finna do this. He already part of the North Carolina
that's hard Hill family, Like, you might as well gonna
switch him on over to the other side, man, because man,
that boy been balling and I feel like you know
what I feel with Kobe. I feel like he did
like with I t he didn't found something and he
(18:43):
then figured it out, you know what I'm saying. Like,
so like I don't see Kobe not being a bucket
get her from now on.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The other cold part too, he he legit is one
of the dudes in the league that played under C
P three, a team he coached him.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So like that's that's crazy to see. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
He gottaqn here. Good good kid man. I wonna call
him no kid man. He a good man. He Uh yeah, Man,
I like to think about Kobe White. I was I
was shaky on I didn't know how he was gonna
really pan out. But to see him doing this, man,
I'm happy for him. He's the one watch man. He
(19:26):
the one without watching. I'm a fan of his game.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So you definitely figured it out, Dude's digital say Kobe balling? Yes, Yes,
he is absolutely. Uh he got a chance to win
the Most Improved Too though or something like that. I
don't know what his average was last year, but I
know just the production from from from last year to
this year he went. He didn't win crazy, That's what happened.
(19:49):
You know, they made some moves, open some space up over.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
There and here you go. All right, let's get to
these uh these NBA awards.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Black you you give me your thoughts, you know you
like the rub hands like bird man?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Who who who your uh who? Your coach of the Year?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Coach of the Year is Cleveland Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson.
I feel like, you know, a lot of good coaches
out there, A lot of coaches had good years. He
made different coaches, but at the end of the day,
man Kenny did his thing this year when nobody thought
the cast was gonna be overalled up the oneber one
(20:31):
team all year. So, you know, shout out to Kenny
Ackson and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I've been saying Kenny Atkinson the whole year, right, and
I still think he probably should and will get it.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
But I'm gonna say JB.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Bickerstaff has to be right up in there because the
what he's been able to do with the Detroit Pistons
bro from what.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
They were last year.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
They're winning over forty games this year and be in
the playoff picture prominently not in the play in and
like just the way that that turnaround. Nobody saw that
coming that quick, you know what I'm saying, not in
one year, bro Like they like that deserves some huge
credit because the difference.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Is there with Cleveland and what he was able to
do going there.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Is like Cleveland had all stars already on they you
know what I'm saying, They had bona fide all Stars
and they had three of them this year. And I
mean part of that was definitely because of the way
Kenny Atkinson put him in a position to succeed. But
I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if JB be
right there or he win it, or he get a
lot of votes, and it's a close call because what
(21:41):
he's done in Detroit nobody saw coming. Like you can
still see Kenny A getting to Cleveland. They doing well,
maybe not this well Wire or Wire best team in
the league. Nobody probably saw that. But like Detroit, nobody
saw that turnaround being this big from one year to
the next. I thought it would be a couple of
years and maybe but then like, hey, we're gonna see
(22:03):
who you got for Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Bro Castle Stephan Castle from San Antonio. I think he's
the Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
To me, I'm with you there.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I think, hey, listen, the boy exactly we should say, though,
like he didn't show me he gonna be cool, he
gonna be I didn't know, you know what I'm saying,
Like he came overseas, I didn't know what even, like
he didn't came on to it like okay, okay, now he.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Didne got comfortable.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You know, sometimes you gotta get people some time to
get familiar and get get comfortable and get get settled in.
I think he didn't settled in and like you you
could see he gonna be all right, he'd be out
there hooping.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Boy.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
But I agree with you. I got Stephan Castle as
the Rookie of the year most improved. Who you got?
I see, Dizzy DiCaprio. We're gonna go go with the same.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
The two guys who just been talking about Daniels and
Kobe I think, uh, them two guys is the two
guys that I think I don't get either order the
one of them won't get most a proof.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
You said, you said Dyson Daniels or or Kobe White. Yeah,
what about k Cunningham in that I.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Wouldn't put him in that.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
He was already like he was that dude already.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Been the best player on the team. He already been that.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, I agree with you there, So I would say, yeah,
between Daniels and and Kobe too, But they may put
k Cunningham in there, you know how they do sometimes.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What else is it we got for m v P.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I have Shay Gil Chris Alexander with a side of
the Joker. That's my order.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I just gotg point blank man just hit sixty sixty
straight games of twenty points some more Bro and you know,
the only other person in the history to ever do that.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, I know when you started getting them a little
you know, you and him in a little box on the.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Thing, and they said nobody else did this. But y'all,
like this is just solidifying, you know what I'm saying.
He got his team, got the best record in the West,
even did that. He averaged what he asks. But like
now he just you know, he tacking little things down
and make a little window dressing for it, to dress
it up and make it look all nice. So I'm
straight sga. There we got for six man bro six
(24:36):
Man of the Year.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Uh, I got a Pritcher I got Preacher from the Celtics.
I think he's probably a sixth Man of the Year.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I'm with you there. I'm going I'm going with Peyton.
Peyton Pritcher.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
He been killing like the fact that him, Like they
got like three dudes that could break their team's single
season record for threes in one year. They got three
dudes at the train, so like, yeah, no, it's it's
crazy what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
So yeah, I'm gonna go with Pritrick.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
All right, that's it for the war was like, hey,
what you think about the about the league?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Hold on, you ain't say defensive player.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, I thought we talked about that. We want Dison Daniels. Okay,
let's go defens You.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Said most improved, we said Dyson things.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh my bad, go way to reel me back in
defensive player of the Year.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Then I definitely got Dyson Daimes.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Okay, okay, you putting it. You're pushing the tests to
the table.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hey listen, I'm going I'm going Dison Daniels too, though
I was. I was right there between. Then Jackson got hurt.
He you know what I'm saying. He went Wemby would
have been the runaway when he went down. That's when
you consider everybody else. Wemby had to. He was the
runaway guy with it.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I'm like, I'm going Dice and Daniels.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
They're saying Draymond and crept up in there, but I'm going,
I'm I'm going with the young fella man averaging over
three steals a game and then just the whole way
he impacts the game with the deflections and all of that,
like man, man, handsy bro, he'd be out the active
hands like a movie.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Like Draymond is a prime example to me, like I
think I was with Zebra and Tony Ellen. Man, when
you're on the losing team and stuff is not going right,
you don't see what a defensive player really brings to
the table. When you see when Jimmy got over there,
they start winning some games, you start seeing you start
(26:34):
really seeing what Draymond defensive wise brings to the table,
you know what I'm saying. So you know, when you're
on the winning team, you see it more. When you're not,
it's like it disappears with all the other fuck shit
that be going on. So like, man, I definitely respect
Draymond and what he's been doing man, he's definitely been
doing this thing. But I definitely got Dice and.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Games, yeah, nah, Draymond and defensive wiz. We all know that.
But like you said, I think it's getting more highlighted.
You know, he's the loudest person on the court every time.
He always doing instead of being a lineback out there
just you know what I'm saying, being a general the
whole time. But that's how I go. Like you said,
it's the league. When you lose and they don't really
(27:17):
you know what I'm saying, ain't none of that, we
don't care. That's cool, But when you do start winning,
to change up. They tell me this, bro, They talking
about the league voting on having a new league in Europe, Like,
what do you think about that?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I think I think it's interesting, you know, I think
it's interesting. It was always was an interesting thing. I
heard Lebron then was trying to and Mary them was
trying to start some type of league over there too,
So but I think it's interesting. I think I think
(27:55):
it would have been done. Is the time difference could
have made since you know what I'm saying, and over league.
But I think it's interesting. You know, I don't want to.
I don't want to see this though. This is what
I don't want to see if you are going to
do something like that. I don't want to see guys
win the NBA Championship and then you got somebody they
win the championship over there, then you try to play
them together, and then that's the alternate championship. Like I
(28:20):
don't want see nothing like that. But I think it's
interest because like, man, they coming over by the boat load,
and now.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's what it is to me, just like the game
has grown, you know what I'm saying that that significantly
that like now they like, look it's it's it's it's
this is an opportunity, this is a there's a space
for that and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's what it tells you.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
The game has grown significantly, you know, globally that now
they're looking at it across sea, Like you say, so
many of them coming over here to play it. It's
like it's some that they're still professionally just like here
it's guys that don't make the NBA that's still pro level.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So like they like it's a it's a it's a
it's a place for that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So I just love it because it's another place for
guys to be able to go and make money if
they don't make the NBA or date.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You know what I'm saying, no longer in the NBA.
So I'm all for more.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Avenues for hoopers to be able to go and fulfill
their dream and hoop and get paid. So to me,
that's dope from that standpoint. All right, man, let's get
to these these fan questions. Black, these fan questions. Put
them on the board. Cowboy, I mean cowboy, I always
tap in with we appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Bro Q and d is different.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Playoff experience and veteran roster enough to get them to
the Western Finals again.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I definitely agree they have enough to go to the final,
the Western Conference finals again. Uh, you know, one of
them them young boys gonna have to have an Anthony
Edward was year like last year to kind of knock
them out. They're not They're not a tough They are tough.
They're a tough team to beat.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I think they definitely got the playoff experience and the
good in the veteran roster to do it. I mean,
like you say, you still you gotta go out there
and do it. They just like, they know, you gotta
go out there and put the game on the court.
But I think they roster I think yeah, I think
they got the good enough roster to do it. Dude,
Digital Thunder gonna win it all this year?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I don't know, but I think they got a good chance.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, I don't think they gonna win it all.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
If be asking that, I definitely think they got a
chance to get to the finals, get to the championship,
win the West. But I'm still rolling with them Celtics
until further notice, until they show me something otherwise. Appreciate that.
Dude's digital.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Joe Montard, Hey, that's our guy.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
When you guys first got to the league, who was
the first person you really wanted to fight? Not because
they were busting your abba, because they were just talking
so much.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I think the first person I got into it with
was uh uh Brian Russell, Barron Russell from the Jazz,
from the Jazz when he played with the Jazz. That
was the first person I got into it with.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Uh, I don't even that's my guy now, you know,
you know I was, I was young and hot, you know,
same thing.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
With Posey Man. I was talking stuff to Posey preseason prosy, like, man,
who are you talking to?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I can't even remember the first person I really got
into it with like this.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I can't remember now for the first couple of years.
Was kind of.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Might have been Matt harp Ring when he was in
Utah early. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Man was dirty as hell. Yeah, man was dirty, but
that didn't really want no smoke.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Man was a football player. I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I mean, he just was running hard, nose, play hard,
run through the wall, ass boys, and I was like, man, god,
damn Kanye as damn.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
But yeah, I think I can't remember for sure.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Nick Kerr, you guys think Jimmy provides enough offense His
age to help the words make a playoffs run sometimes
feels like another Dramond out there.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, I think he got enough offense.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I think he got enough, But I think they still
need to figure out their identity with him. I don't
think this is the year I think they This summer
is gonna be a big summer for them making big
decisions on Kamingo. What they're gonna do. If they're gonna
try to bring somebody else in with them to help out,
they definitely need a big man, you know, So yeah,
(32:41):
I think he do got enough though.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, I definitely think he got enough that he brings
enough offense. Then you know playoffs has winning Playoffs Jimmy times,
So I mean, you know he wanted the best winning
in there.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
So we'll see Cowboy the Knicks the best for Jayalen Brunson.
I mean I don't. That's why I see him being
a perfect for that, Like it's his team, Like that's
his show over there right now. I can't even mension
(33:13):
him nowhere else.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I can't even picture him nowhere else. I think, yeah,
right now, solidify as a nick.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I agree. I agree point Goud could Damon started mind dunk?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, Dan's dunk wasn't like you know, it wasn't like no,
no Westbrook nun but he could don't.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, they ain't definitely dunk that thing.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, you would probably wanted to scribe with everybody else. No,
man like Mason, I always want to fight somebody.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Reign in Game seven O seven Start Bench Trade nineties
Video Games edition, Gouse versus like Bekers, NBA Live ninety
seven NBA.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Jam Man, That Bulls versus Lakers.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Was just like the that was the yellow part of
that second genis joint that was that was the start
of the start of it.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
So I gotta go with the original, Like even though
even though NBA Jam was just the phenomenon, it was
the ship back then. But bull versus Lakers that was it.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
So who you started being trained?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Starting the Bulls mentioning NBA Jams, trading NBA Live.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I'm starting NBA Live ninety seven because it's dope as
Bulls versus Lakers was the actual game. Couldn't hold a
candle to the Live ninety seven Live back seven was lit.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
The time, at the time when it dropped, it could
it was the best thing out, So you.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Couldn't go to that.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
But that's what I'm saying, were looking back at all
three on that NBA line, ninety seven was the best
thaying out when it came out too. But out of
the three, I'm gonna go Live ninety seven Rules versus Lakers,
NBA dreams. Good question right in the game those digital
Q and D. How long would it take for the
mass to recover for this season? I just think the summer.
I think when they come back next year, you know,
(35:18):
depending on winning and how long he's gonna take Kyrie.
But I think even with Kyrie being hurt, I think
as long as everybody else is healthy and getting, you know,
ready to go, they should be a whole whole lot
better than they are right now. Like you said, it's
a lot of guys getting a chance to play. They
discovering some young boys. It's got some talent, and you'll
see how they shake out and you'll see what you know,
(35:38):
what the summer brings, what they add and bring to
the team or whatever however they do that. But I
think with everybody as they are, if they just get healthy,
they'd be a lot better.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
But next year, yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Start bench trade.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Oh my tard underappreciated shooting guards ooh Alan Houston H
two O Steve miss I got Schmitty was spree in
real two?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Or was he more but three? Black?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I think earlier earlier he was a two and he
wound up being a three late in his career.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah, I agree with that. Who you started benching trading here? Right?
Speaker 3 (36:15):
This is tough though, But I would go with man.
I would go with Smitty. I would start Smitty. Damn,
I would start Smitty. I would bench Allen and I
trade Damn I traded free. Well, man, I don't want trade.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I'm going in that same order. I'm going that same
order Smitty H two oh and s free. And I'm
biased because I you know, I was. I like guards
that could post up and Smitty could post up. So yeah,
it's a podcast podcast. It's our people too. Question for
Fe and B if you were to be dropped into
the NBA in twenty twenty five, which team that you
(36:55):
want to play for and which team do you think
was realistic, realistically be the best fit for your play style.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Anywhere?
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Shit? Who would I want to play for? Man? Man,
I probably want to play with them Warriors. Man, how
they just run and.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Just send me to Boston.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Send me to Boston that boy, want them boy to
shoot ten to three per player per game. Send me
to Boston. I could go out there and fit right in.
Just let him fly, Just let him fly, Sam Marler,
Sam five years from now, what are we going to
(37:39):
be saying about him?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Be woo? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I mean he was he who won the best winners
of this era.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, he definitely, we can't take that from him.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
He gonna be he one of the best big men
ever but as far as like the injury stuff, I
don't know if that'll, you know, change some of the
narrative was like, because it'll become a summer that how
good could he have been if he doesn't recover from
these injuries part of it? But I hope, I hope
we talking about him still hooping and he didn't got
got his body together and he didn't figure it out.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
D Miles on the Warriors would be nice be out
there going crazy. See.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I got d Miles with Charlotte with Nello for the
easy oop, or Luca was somewhere somebody throwing them lives
on head catching lives.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Just placed me big kapper.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I got cute rich and at l Trey Young for
the catch and shoot, hey, I'm all for that.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Lying me up. Just let me stand over here somewhere.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Ooh, start bench trade Iversen d Rose, Jah Moran, bo
Jahn Moran getting traded.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
We get that out the way. That and even a question.
Go ahead you Oh, I was listening for you. Go ahead. Start.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I'm gonna start Ai. I'm gonna bench d Rose and
I'm gonna trade John Morant.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
I'm gonna follow that cab.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yeah, I'm gonna follow that cab.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Will the NBA allowed guys to go to the league
trade from high school again, that's a good question, man,
they should.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I don't know why they ever stopped it.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
I don't think they will now. N I l deal
guys getting I don't think that's kind of that was
really slowed down because that was really one of the
biggest reasons you guys.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Were gonna get that money.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
But you know, guys can get that money in college.
Some guys will make more money than the.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
High school too. Now depending on where you were, they
get money in high school. And I think it's over with.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
So I'm a rare breede, just in case y'all was asking,
you know, the last of a time breed.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
You know, I.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Ride up tv Q and D. Who's the most athletic
teammate y'all played with?

last night, Josh Hard finished with sixteen points twelve rebounds
in eleven to six, while Carl Anthony Town had twenty six,
twelve and eleven, becoming the first pair of teammates in
(41:37):
New York Knicks history to record a triple double in
the same damn game.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
What you thought of that? Black?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
I thought that was dope. You know, that was definitely
dope to see New York and had a.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Lot of that's crazy to say that's the first.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
So you know, I definitely think that's a dope stat

the first they could know that's a dope accomplishment, young fellas,
All right, who shouted?
Speaker 1 (42:08):

My shot out of the week is prayers ups and
all your prayers and your love to Juju Watkins big time. Uh,
you know, we was looking forward to her meeting Yukon
and seeing who we're gonna go to the final four,
finishing this season off. It's a sophomore year. Hate to
see it happen, but you know that's what we signed
(42:32):
up for. But man, everybody seen your prayers and love
to Juju. And one thing I see with Juju, like
I seen in page and I see what she I
think she's one of them players that this injury is
gonna make her better. You know what I'm saying. Sometimes
you know, with players, the injury can containt them and
slow them down or they're not gonna be the same.
(42:54):
But with some players, a cl tour is not the end.
It makes them better. It makes concentrate focus on other
things to add to their game when they do come back.
But shout out to Juju and her family. Prayers up, man,
hope you have a speedy recovery and I hope you
come back even stronger.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
I agree, bro, you know this.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
This day and age of the technology, I got one
hundred percent believe she will come back, you know, stronger
and better. So definitely prayers up to Juju. My shot
out of the day. Man, it's along them lines as well. Bro,
you know, uh, shout out to Dame Lillard, man, he
turned injuries off, bro, Like let's say that, like you
(43:35):
know what I'm saying, Like he got the crazy the
blood clock thing. I guess it's similar to what Winby
has and he hasn't. They haven't said he's done, but
they say he's out and definitely they haven't said like
he's out for the season like how they said with Wenby.
But you know, just prayers up to him to Dame
and you know that the best outcome and you know
(43:55):
his health is first and you know, hopefully he's able
to get back on the court as soon as possible.
But for shure, you know what I'm saying, handle that
and get all the way healthy and make sure that's
because that's a crazy situation to be in.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
So you know, shout out to him and prayers up
to him, prayers up to Dame. Man, that's that's. I
know he really want to play right now, playoffs right
around the corner. But man, you know, it's it's just crazy.
Let me ask you this cute four we get up
out of here, though, Like what is this blood clought thing?
Because this is something that never was Like it's just
something that you think folks are eating.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
I know how you get it, bro, It's like it's
always happened. It's been around. It's just very red. It
only happened like once in a blue morning. It's not
like it's something new to just start happening. People had
it years ago and like it's just it's like it's
just weird.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Bro. I can't I'm not a doctor.

Everything and be right and to be in shape. Dang
was taking his hells very seriously, trained hard and do
all them things. So I don't don't know how you
get him. And it's not something that you could just
be like, don't do this and you know, or don't
do that, and it happened. I don't know if it's
something you could say to stay away from to keep
it from happening. It just happens.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I don't know how.
