Speaker 1 (04:14):
I was terrible Mine was decent.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I was at the top of the men's bracket for, like, I
was first for a little bit, youwere, and then I think I
finished.
I think I finished eitherseventh or ninth one of them, so
a couple of people took off infront of me.
My women's bracket did decentas well.
I was leading in that one aswell.
Uh, des actually had a free.
Yeah, he had a free women'sbracket.
You could win ten dollars ifyou, you know, if you won, and I

(04:38):
think I came in third place onthat one.
So, um, I didn't do too bad.
Yeah, yeah, uh, you pleasedwith it.
Huh, you pleased with it.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
I'm pleased with my brackets, Honestly.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I think I did.
I think this was probably mybest bracket.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Actually Shay Arnick won my women's bracket too.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Man, she, she owned it man.

Shout out, shay.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, because you just be.
You say you're going to rideand die with Kansas.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Kansas for the men's and then the women's until Juju
leave.
I'm picking USC.
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well, my men's bracket.
I had several, some had Houstonwinning, some had UConn winning
and one had Gonzaga, but theone that mattered did not have
UConn winning, so I ended up.
Was I in top 10 in Rose'sbracket.
I don't remember Anyway ofcourse my girls bracket was

(05:30):
fairly well.
South Carolina, of course, duh.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
But other than that.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, I guess I did okay this season.
I can't complain.
Well, since we're already onthis subject, bitch, go ahead
and drop that beat.
All right on this subject,bitch, go ahead.
Drop that beat, alright.
So let's go on and get into it.
The March Madness the men.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Let's talk about the men first.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Let's go on and get the men out the way you know.
How'd y'all feel?
What was it like which I wantto get into with that?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
shout out UConn.
I ain't going to lie to y'all,I didn't watch much of it.
But shout out UConn.
I know they're back-to-backchampions you got to respect it
Deserving.
Until Kansas get back on top.
It's going to be a while.
It's going to be a while.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
I know a lot of people had UCon come winning the
whole thing.
They were pretty much the heavyfavorite going into the
tournament and they took care ofbusiness.
Back-to-back championships forthem.
I mean, you know, special forthem.
And so, yeah, like Three Rosesaid, I didn't really watch much
of the men's tournament.
I tried to watch as much of itas I could because when it first
started there were so manygames on at one time man,
including the women and the menand so, like I'm trying to go

(06:48):
back and forth and watch, watchit all, because you never really
want to miss a moment.
Uh, during March madness,because so many amazing things
happen, yeah, uh.
But uh, shout out to UConn.
I actually in my main bracket,I actually had Purdue winning.
I mean, they were in thechampionship game and you know,
edie, you know kind of carriedthem throughout the tournament,

(07:09):
but UConn was victorious in theend.
So shout out to UConn forwinning the 2024 national
championship.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, shout out UConn .
Before we move over to thewomen, was there any surprise
teams that kind of caught y'all?
I mean for me it was NC State.
Yeah, I was just going to say Ithink that's probably
everybody's, I think that'sgoing to be the consensus, but
y'all can elaborate if y'allwant.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
NC State.
And then who else?
Off the top of my head, I can'tthink of nobody else.
That was just surprising to mebecause I had most of the higher
schools moving on man.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Surprising to me Because I had most of the higher
schools moving on man themfootball schools Surprising
Alabama, Clemson, oh yeah,Alabama.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, alabama for sure, clemson for sure.
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, shout outto those.
Those are the surprising teamsto me.
What about you, rose?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
I was just going to suggest NC State to me.
I like DJ.
It was yeah, yeah, he nice man.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Big boy yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
He real nice.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, he's nice.
For his size right, but I don'tknow if I'll see him going to
the NBA.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
No, he not he may be drafted.
I mean he probably be insomebody's deal.
Yeah, you know, like KennyLofton, right, he not going to
be like top 10 pick, but he?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
definitely made an impact on the tournament.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
No disrespect, DJ Byrne.
Yeah, no disrespect.
Of course no, not at all.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
First, time I had ever heard about him.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Honestly, was this tournament?
No same, All right, Well shoot.
Well, let's get to whateverybody want to talk about.
Let's talk about the women.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
The women March Madness, women's college
basketball period, it was up.
What it was definitely up thisseason um, it was.
What was amazing to me was justto see all of the chatter, all
of the talk from celebrities toprofessional sports players to
you, you know, just the generalpublic, like just talking about
the excitement of the women'scollege tournament, and it just

(09:12):
goes to show you that thewomen's game is like it's really
growing.
It is growing rapidly, thoughLike it's crazy.
But you know it had a lot to dowith the star power on the
women's side, you know, fromKaylinark to angel reese, to
cardoso, to um flage johnson Imean there's so many rakia
jackson, uh.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
hannah hildago, juju um juju watkins yeah, juju
watkins, the fresh, the freshyeah, I'm like jujuuju Swinson,
no, juju Watkins, the freshmanphenom Diagea Fair.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
I mean, it was so many names that you could just
it was just crazy, I don't knowso shout out to them.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
It was exciting.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, how y'all feel about it.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Man like the season or just the tourney.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
I mean just in general.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
In general, no man, this season was up.
I think it was a good carryoverfrom last year.
It was.
It was, like you said, a lot ofchatter, good and bad, right,
and we'll talk about the bad alittle bit later.
But no, I'm excited thedirection of what the girls'
game is going, where the girls'game is going, it's going to

(10:26):
inspire the younger girls to belike oh shoot, I want to be like
Caitlyn, let me start shootinglike Caitlyn.
Or I want to be low, like aCardosa or whatever, like giving
them something to, I guess,inspire to be or have something
to look up to.
I think that's amazing man,like you said, it just was way
more star power on the women'sside than it was on the men,
think I think that's amazing man, like you said, it just was way
more star power on the on thewomen's side than it was on the

(10:47):
men's.
So I think that was easier forthe general public to keep up.
Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Just to mention a couple of more people.
How could I forget PaigeBeckers, cameron Brink, I mean
it's, it was so many, it wasjust stacked, you know.
So if I didn't mention you knowsome names, please don't shoot
me, but it was just a lot ofgirls to talk about this year.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
How do you feel, rose ?
Yeah, I love the Women'sTournament.
I actually watched the Women'sTournament and it was a lot of
good games and good star playerseverywhere.
But my biggest takeaway from itwas I know this is going to be
a hot take, but to me, jujuWatkins was the best player in
that tournament.
Juju Watkins was the bestplayer in that tournament.
Juju Watkins is the best playerin that tournament.

(11:28):
Why you think that you gottahave facts back in the book
Getting that team involved.
I know Clark knew the samething.
I just feel like Juju had asmuch time as Clark did in the
college basketball.
But y'all gonna see when Jujugets to the WNBA.
Of course She'll be a betterplayer.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
She gonna be different.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, no I'm riding with you.
We got some time for that.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah she only a freshman yeah, yeah I
like juju.
Um, what else about thistournament?

Speaker 3 (11:59):
man, that really stood out to y'all like what
just just the fact that southcarolina again was just dominant
.
I'll go there first.
Uh, south carolina was justdominant, and you know um from
the beginning of the season.
Whenever they play notre damein that first game in paris,
real quick bills because I don'tlike what the national media is

(12:20):
doing in south carolina.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
they are an undefeated team.
I feel like it hadn't beenyelled loud enough, so can we
just give South Carolina theirflowers real quick?
Oh yeah, definitely.
Well, they went 38-0?
I think it was either 36 or37-0.
Okay well, they didn't lose agame all season, at all period,
okay, and they've only lostthree games in three years.
Yeah, that's true, I understandthe Kalen Clark hype, I get it.

(12:44):
But we also need to give propsto South Carolina, because
that's not an easy feat.
Nope, you have to really bedisciplined, you have to really
want to be a winner.
To not win, I mean not to loseany game.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah so.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
ESPN Bleacher Report.
Who else ESPNW?
You know all you big timesports reporters and stuff like
that.
Put some respect on SouthCarolina's Knackers.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
They've gone 109 in three in the last three seasons.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
That is crazy.
You mean to tell me that's notbeing shouted out from the
mountaintops?
Yeah, huh, I wonder why.
Yeah, but I ain wonder why.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah, but I ain't going to go there To confirm
they went 38-0.
38-0.
This season, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's crazy.
That should be everywhere,Everywhere, Like that's.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's not unheard of, but it's kind of unheard of the
last time I see a team be thisdominant was those UConn years.
The last time I see a team bethis dominant was those UConn
years.
The last time that they wentundefeated Yep, and I believe
that was whenever dang BreonnaStewart was there.
I believe they won fournational championships while she
was there, wow.

(14:00):
So, but and I'm not, I don'tknow, I'm not saying that whole
entire run they went undefeated,but that was the last time I
remember them having anundefeated season.
So, yeah, shout out to SouthCarolina and everything they did
for winning a nationalchampionship.
And it's crazy because in theSEC tournament, camila Cardoso
had hit that three-pointer tosave like their undefeated

(14:22):
season.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh yeah, against Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yep to take them to the SEC championship game.
So again, shout-out to SouthCarolina, shout-out to Coach
Dawn Staley and just shout-outto all of those players over
there in South.
And just what she's doing likeit's just amazing with them,
it's crazy.
And of course they've been ontheir little celebration tour.
It looked like they've beenliving their best life.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
And celebration tour.
It looked like they've beenliving their best life.
Shout out to them, Alright.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
What did you guys think?
That's it.
Congratulations to SouthCarolina.
Really, really, really.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Shout out Don Staley man, go Go.
Status.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
The fact that they started off number six, ranked
number six at the beginning ofthe season, they took it
personal.
Definitely took it personal.
Right after that first gamethey was ranked number one.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Went over there to Paris and got back in first
place.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Ain't that crazy, that's crazy.
So yeah, shout out to them.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Man, another thing, I guess the whole.
Well, I guess this will take usinto, you know, kaitlyn Clark
and Angel Reese and the starpower.
I know that's what we wastalking on.
How did y'all feel, though?

Speaker 4 (15:30):
like okay, let's okay , let me run, let's run rewind
back caitlyn clark.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
She's a dog yes yeah, most definitely, yeah, yeah, I
think she's a dog?

Speaker 4 (15:40):
yes, um.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Can you run down her stats for me, please?

Speaker 3 (15:44):
or run down yes, so caitlin, as y'all know, is now
headed to the wmba.
Um, but she had an illustriousuh college career.
I mean, her college career wasamazing.
So she was a two-time ap playerof the year.
Uh, she was a three-time big 10player of the year, two-time
naismith player of the year.
Um, she also raised 100k plusfor local food pantry.

(16:08):
Um, she had two viewershiprecords, uh, during the
tournament um, nil pioneeredwith nike gatorade and state
farm, which is crazy.
Those are big time companies.
Um, most career points in ncaatournament history history and
she's also the NCAA women's hoopall time leading scorer and I

(16:29):
believe she is like the divisionone all time leading scorer
period.
I don't think that was on thelist, but yeah, I mean Kaelin is
nice.
She had a really, really,really great college career.
So I mean what y'all think.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
I mean I agree she did well think.
I mean I agree she did Well,obviously she had been scoring
those points as a freshman and asophomore.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Of course Really.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I think Kaitlyn is a dog.
I think she'll do well in WNBA.
I know we're not there yet, butyeah, she had a great, great
college career, by far, I guess,the leading score of both men
and women.
So I mean you can't argue withthat you cannot, but I do see
some you know some flaws in hergame.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
She's a good passer.
I don't think she's a goodpenetrator.
I don't think she just comesdown that lane like that.
From the games I've watched NowI haven't watched a lot of Iowa
games in the regular season,but as far as some of the games
I watched in the tourney, she'snot a penetrating guard from
what I can tell.
I could be wrong.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
So I believe the last episode I said that one thing
that she would have to improvewas her handle.
And just watching her in thistournament, she, she actually
has a pretty decent handle.
It's really not bad, especiallyum, with her teammates setting
screens for her and gettingaround the screen.
And also the thing about it is,even if she gets stopped on the

(18:02):
drive, like she's a really goodpasser, right, right, it helps.
Now I only I only see herhandle game getting better as
she gets, you know, deeper intothe WNBA.
But I mean, her game isdefinitely going to improve and
she was already doing this crazystuff in college, that is true.
So I believe that it'sdefinitely going to get better
regardless.
But I think that her, I stillbelieve that if that's one flaw,

(18:23):
I still believe that if that'sone flaw, she could possibly
have a better handle.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
That's it, that's it.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
She can get better with her handle, but I love her
game, to be honest.
It's good Because she can shootit from deep, she can take it
to the hole, she can dime, shecan rebound.
I mean, of course she's goingto have to play defense.
Of course she's going to haveto get that better.
I agree with Kaviyah she needsto get her handles up.
Her handles is where it can befor now in the NBA.

(18:52):
They can improve.
She's a dog for sure she's adog.
She's a dog.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
She hoops with a confidence.
That's the thing about Kaviyahshe plays with confidence, um,
and she's also like a she talked, she talked up, she talked her
stuff, you know.
I mean, um, and it was just, itwas funny watching her because
I forgot what, who they wereplaying in the tournament, but I
mean, she was just on it, shewas arguing with the refs, she
was chirping to the girls, shewas, you know, waving her hands

(19:21):
up at the crowd and I love thattoo.
I love that too, and I I evenremember she told her dad to
shut up.
I believe she was telling herdad to shut up in the stand.
Shut the.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
F up.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Right, I didn't want to say that, but yeah, like
that's what she said, because ifAngel Reese would have said it,
oh yeah, it'd have been alittle different.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
But um, you know about her chirping.
I noticed the next few games.
She wasn't talking much, shewas just kind of letting her
game speak for itself and itdefinitely was on display
against LSU.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah man, that was a tough loss.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
She gave them 41-7-12 , I believe I blame that loss on
Kim Mulkey.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
I just straight up blame that loss on Kim Mulkey
more than anything, because KimMulkey didn't.
I don't feel Kim Mulkey put hergirls in the best possible
position to succeed in that game.
One standout, one thing thatstands out was HBL.
Yeah, haley Van Lith on KaitlynClark.
That's been a big topic onsocial media Like what the hell

(20:21):
was she doing on Kaitlyn Clark?
Yeah, kim Mulkey should havemade those adjustments early.
Who knows, could have been adifferent outcome in that game.
Anything about the LSU game,lsu and Iowa game that kind of
stood out.
Like you said.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
I don't feel like there were adjustments made.
I feel like, you know, theyjust kind of stuck with the game
plan that they had at thebeginning.
And when you're trying to win anational championship, you just
can't do that.
And by the time you know, theytried to send a double to
Kaitlyn, or you know what I mean.
Pick them up full court.
It was already too late.
You know what I mean.

(20:54):
The game was kind of like well,I would say Iowa had the
momentum.
The game was still closebecause I believe LSU only lost
by like six or seven.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
So they just kind of waited.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yeah, they kind of waited too late to make
adjustments, so that's what I,you know, got from the game
right, and uh, speaking of that,haley van lit.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
This headed to the transfer portal she's in the
transfer.
Yeah, yes, um any ideas ofwhere she could possibly land or
where would you like for to seeher go?

Speaker 3 (21:24):
I think they said that she had visited um
mississippi state, but that'sthe last that I heard.
That's the last that I heard.
But my thing about hayley is Iwas excited for her to play at
lsu and I really thought thatshe would fit their system and
it just it sucked to see how hergame, kind of like you know um,
regressed this year becausehayley is a hayley is a bucket.

(21:46):
I'm not going to lie.
I love the way she plays, Ilove her confidence.
But whenever she went to LSUwhich I still don't understand
why she did, because she wasalready at Louisville for four
years or three or four years andso, like whenever she
transferred, I was kind ofshocked.
But I'm rooting for Haley tobounce back next season.
So I guess we'll see.

(22:06):
But yeah, I mean, that's it.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, me personally.
Yeah, she got played out ofposition.
That's really what it was.
She's a two and they played herat a one, and that's just not
her natural position.
I just think From what Kim Okihas said too.
I have read a statement thatyou know.
Just think from what KimO'Keefe had said too.
I had read a statement that youknow.
She told her that she neededHaley must have came to her,

(22:30):
according to, kim was just likehey, I need another year, but I
need to go somewhere else.
To you know pretty much getbetter, develop, get my stock
back up.
And she said you know, when aplayer comes to you and says
something like that, you justhug them and tell them God bless
them very.
Kim O'Keefe yeah, sounds justto you.
And say something like that,you just hug them and tell them
God bless them Very.
Kimo Kimo, yep, sounds justlike her.
Sounds just like her.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
And.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I can guarantee that's probably how that
conversation went, yep.
So yeah shout out to Haley,where she ends up man I hope she
can get her stock up.
I guess, looking back on it,she probably should have just
stayed at Louisville if shewanted another year.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
But to me I feel like her best stock was.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
You know, the previous year is probably where
she probably had the best draftstock, but shout out to her
she's gonna keep trying tofigure it out.
Um, one thing I do want to getinto before we kind of move on
to the wmba draft man, we justhave to talk about it because
it's just a big thing.
The angel, recent kaylin Clarkthing, this whole it's not even
real, it's.
It's more so the, the media,the internet that's making this
a thing Like uh, try to put themtogether or yeah, Put them

(23:34):
against each other, yeah yeah,and it is like, uh, not
necessary.
Um, what I hate about the media,though, like you know, they're
the same and they're different.
They both chirp, they both talkcrap, they both do those things
, but it's only one that getspainted out as the villain, you
know, and I don't think that'sright, and I said this last year

(23:55):
, when the whole you can't seeme ring, and all that.
I've already spoke on it, soI'm not going to harp because
y'all are weird, and I'vealready said weirdos don't
belong in sports.
When I mean weirdos, I'mdefinitely saying racist, but I
wanted to be nice about it.

(24:16):
But, yeah, racism and racistpeople don't belong in our world
of sports, because things likethis happen.
You're painting out, you know,angel Reese.
Somebody that has just as muchpassion turns her into a super
villain.
She tried to embrace the supervillain role, something like
what lebron james tried to doback in like 2010, 2011, and
those.
They're not villains, you know,they're good people.
Lebron didn't like it.

(24:37):
He tried.
It didn't work out.
Same thing with angel she triedit, she tried to wear the
jacket and I'm really not likethis person and it's just.
It's unfair how they do thingsand I'm not gonna say you know
why?
because we all got eyeballs.
We know, and it's wrong, um,angel, angel.
Now they say that she has a badattitude.

(24:59):
You don't know.
I've read comments.
You don't know her you don'tknow that girl how you know what
her attitude is like outside ofthis arena you don't go to
class with her.
You, you ain't in study hallwith her.
You ain't on.
You know what I'm saying.
You're watching it like me,right, and I can distinguish
between a basketball game andsomebody's real personality.
You, you turn it like likebeyonce and sasha fierce beyonce

(25:23):
is beyonce and she's sasha fishwhen she's on that stage.
Like it's two different peopleand people need to realize that
just because yo I'm in your shitwhile I'm playing the game,
don't mean I'm being your shitafter the game's over.
I'm probably going to dap youup like, hey, you want to go get
some pizza or something.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Like you don't know.
Good, we're cool.
She was like, but in betweenthose four lines, it's
competition.
It is, and that's just that'sall it is.
That's all it is is competition.
Yeah, that's all it is.
And just just the whole picturethat they tried to paint about
lsu being uh dirty debutants anduh, what did they say?
Hot sauce, sauce versus no?

(26:05):
What did they say Cookies Oreocookies versus hot sauce.
Like, it's been a lot of thingssaid about them as this
tournament has been going on.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
How come you don't talk about other teams like that
?
Why is it like thepredominantly black teams get
talked about or described inthose adjectives?
Dirty debutantes, yeah.
Hot sauce, you know.
Thugs, yeah, aggressive, why?
Why?
Why can't stanford be dirtydebutantes and spicy?

(26:38):
You know that kind of like.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 (26:40):
it's the narrative that I really had last.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
I don't mean to take it this way, but I'd be having
to get this shit off becauseI've been reading the comments
and and from both sides you know, I'm saying it's, it's, it's,
it's.
You know the the minority sidetoo.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
They'd be talking crazy, and I I get mad at them
too, but it's mostly coming fromour other counterparts.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, and look, that's how I know.
Y'all don't even play sports,don't even watch sports, y'all
just tuned in because it wastrending.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
I was just about to say.
You know I've seen a lot oftalk, like most of y'all have
literally just started watchingwomen's basketball this year and
y'all have the most to say,Y'all don't even know It'd be
the casuals for me.
The casuals you have not beenwatching, you don't.
The only reason you know aboutsome of these players are
because, like they're stars nowthey've been talked about in the
media.

(27:27):
But like just the way thatthey've talked about some of
these players and some of theseteams has just kind of been like
disheartening.
But you know, when you're doingsomething right, it comes with
it, it comes with haters, itcomes with criticism, negative
criticism.
So I mean it's probably onlygoing to get worse.
It's probably not going to getany better, especially since
these young women are now in theWNBA.

(27:47):
And so yeah, I mean, but I wishthey wouldn't, but it's going
to happen.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
It's definitely definitely what you got.
You got anything on there.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I completely agree with both of y'all.
It comes with the territory ofbeing good.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Yeah, and it just sucks that the racist commentary
is part of that you know, youwant to talk about that.
She's not that good.
She don't got a mid-range shot,that's fine you're thinking
about basketball but when youstart going, in personal, and
that's where you lose it yeah,because you don't know none of
these people I don't know, kayla, I don't know things, so I
can't sit there like man becauseshe said shut the f up to her

(28:22):
daddy man.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
She's just a terrible person, she's no, she's in the
moment, her daddy talking.
I need him to shut up.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
I can't concentrate I understood that I didn't get
mad right so why?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
why y'all getting mad , but anyway, let's move on.
You mentioned the wmba draft orthe girls going to college, so
speak on that, because the draftis going on, or was?
It was yeah um, let's go getinto the WNBA draft.
Let's drop the beat Girls, werun this mother, all right.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
So yeah, the WNBA draft was tonight and a lot of
the women that we were justtalking about have been selected
already, because the draft isnow over.
But, as projected, caitlinClark went number one to the
Indiana Fever Deservingly, so Ifelt like that was who they were
going to go with.

(29:10):
Her and Aaliyah Boston areteaming up in Indiana and I'm
excited to see what they do.
Kaitlyn also has shoot drivenup ticket sales.
Yes, she did.
I mean, you know we've been.
You know they've been like kindof shaming the WNBA for so long
and now that the tickets areactually, you know they've been
kind of shaming the WNBA for solong and now that the tickets

(29:30):
are actually pretty pricey.
Now people are complaining.
You just kidding, you can neverwin.
But I'm happy for Kaylin.
She went number one.
I know she's going to getbetter, like we just talked
about earlier.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
But yeah, I mean how y'all feeling about?
Yeah, undoubtedly number onepick Hands down, probably the
best, not probably is the bestwoman college basketball player
of this season.
Yeah, Did you hear me Of thisseason?
Right, Right.
So again, national media.

(30:01):
There's been greats DianaTaurasi, yes, Sue.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Bird.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Cheryl Swoozley Celeste.
Candace parker don't act likethese people don't is maya moore
, don't act like these peopledon't exist.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
She was simona gustis .
We can still.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
We can keep naming sylvia fouls come on all day
let's not do this yeah, she isthe best woman's college
basketball player of this season, not of of all time, but of
this season, I agree, and maybeeven of the past couple of years
.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Okay.
So that brings up a questionfor me, and then I'll name the
rest of the top ten picks.
Do you think that Kaitlyn?
Okay.
Do y'all think that Kaitlyn ison the Mount Rushmore of college
basketball players?
And just the ones that we'vetalked about Maya Candice, the
ones that came before her, dianaTaurasi, brittany Griner Do

(30:54):
y'all think that she's on theMount Rushmore of women's
college basketball?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I don't think so.
I don't think so Nah.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
It's too many.
We're just talking aboutwomen's college basketball.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Y'all named too many dogs, yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
But look at the accolades though the numbers.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
I feel it, but nah, I done seen some of the players
y'all named for real in collegebasketball and I don't think she
had it like them, I don't thinkshe had it like them.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Even Odyssey Sims was really good in college.
I mean, it's so many players,it is so many women.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Accolades included, because I mean she is the best
scorer right.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Yes, all the awards she's gotten everything.
It's tough, it's really tough,like I want to put her there,
which is is a good thing.
I want to put her there.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I do because I can't take away from what she did
right, I can't regardless of youknow how the media has made me
feel about her um because I likeher but the media is making me
like.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
But I like her because I try and I try to you
know, cancel all the noise andjust look at the game.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
But yeah, I might have to put up there.
I might just because of theaccolades.
Yeah, I mean she is literally,she holds a record.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
So it's kind of hard to be like you ain't one of the
best if you hold a record.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
I have.
I currently can you change yourMount Rushmore players?
As time goes on, I think youcan.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
If we see anybody greater or better.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
That's fair, because nobody can come back.
I think right now I have her onmy Mount Rushmore and I have
posted this on X and I had onlyposted three and I was like I'm
still trying to figure out mylast one and I think I had
Kaitlyn Clark I had.
Who else did I have?
I had Caitlin, I had.

(32:49):
Hey, why can't I think?
I can't, I can't think of who Ihad.
I had Maya, yes, and I can'tthink of the third player that I
had, but I did not put Candiceon there and a few others and
everybody's like man youtripping, like Candice is up
there, I'm like I said, butthat's the point's.
So many different players thathave come through, oh, I put
Diana Taurasi.
So it was Diana Taurasi, mayaMoore, kaylin Clark and I was

(33:11):
like I can't think of my fourthplayer, but it's so many to
choose from because you guys,well, I feel like Candice is
better than Stewie, I feel likeyou know she, candice was a dog
at Tennessee.
Yes, candice was a dog atTennessee.
Yes, she was.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
She was.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
And then also came into the WNBA and got Rookie of
the Year.
Was a dog Dumped?
Yes, and it was another awardthat she got, and maybe that is
my fourth player.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Maybe that's who it is.
It's.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Candice, it's Candice , it's got to be.
But yeah, I mean, it's a toughthing, but it's a good thing for
women's basketball.
Like I said, it's so manydifferent players, so many good
players that are being umcreated, you know, and and um
and I just I don't know, it'sjust, it's just a good thing to
keep watching no, I agree, Iagree, um shoot.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Oh okay, real quick too, and then I'll let you
finish your list.
So when the tournament was, orthe championship was going on
and the Sue Bird and DianaTaurasi had had the, you know,
like the Manicast oh, yes, yes,yes people was kind of getting
on Diana for being a hater didy'all feel like she was hating,

(34:22):
or was she giving the real?

Speaker 3 (34:25):
I think it was a little bit of both, because
she's just like what did she sayabout angel?
No, oh, because I guess angelwas waving by to the girl who
had fouled out and I forgot whothey were playing.
But diana was just like, ohyeah, wave bye to your career,
or something like that, she said.
And then, um, I then of course,what else did she say something

(34:47):
about?

Speaker 2 (34:47):
it's gonna get real she said you're like a.
You might be a super humanbetween college girls, but in
the WM you playing around, youplaying with grown women.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
That's played ball for a long time, but see one
thing that I never, quote thatwas quoted, I think.
So I know whenever and I hatethe chat, y'all gonna clown me
for this but whenever Brian wascoming into the league, even his
own teammates didn't believethat he would, you know, be
great.
But you don't really see a lotof the men kind of like talking

(35:18):
down on the young books that arecoming into the league.
They normally kind of like givethem their props, like yeah,
he's a you know, talented player, he can do this well, he can do
this well, he could do thiswell.
They kind of give them theirflowers and I and I'm not saying
that diana has not done this,because I'm sure she has, I
haven't watched all of their um,I haven't watched all of their
streams, but just it's when you,on live television, just just

(35:40):
lift these young girls upbecause that's all they.
They look up to y'all, yeah, youknow, and they don't want to
hear you like already puttingthem down before they even get
to the league, like you, one ofthe goats in the WNBA, if not
the goat, you know, I mean, forsome people.
So I, I mean I'm not mad thatshe said it, but I just wish
that, you know, she kind ofwould have worded it a little

(36:00):
differently because, like I said, these young, these young
ladies look up to you andthey're coming in.
One of them may even be yourlittle rookie, you know I mean.
And they look up to you andthey're coming in.
One of them may even be yourlittle rookie, you know what I
mean.
And they looking up to you andhere you go, on the verge of
retirement, like sounding oldand bitter.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
I'm not even trying to be.
I'm not even trying to be, butyou.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
That's how you sound because these young women are
making noise how they are andthey getting these NIL deals now
and the game is different.
It's different than when y'allwas in college.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
They'd probably be a little bitter about that.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Yeah, I would be upset about the NIL stuff for
sure, because they wereall-stars, they were big-time.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
They could have been getting.
And I caught one of theirstreams and either Sue asked
Diana asked Sue how much youthink you would have been making
if they had NIL.
Back when we was playing Bothof you kind of lungs, by the way
, they said oh hell of a lot andyes, they would have.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
They would have been top NIL getters.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Make no mistake, before I answer, or respond back
to Gaville about the wholeDiana Saracen thing, did you
want to chime in?
You had something to say?

Speaker 1 (37:10):
I just think she kind of sounded a little bitter.
But I get where she was comingfrom, though, but she could have
put it better.
She could have put it in abetter way than how she put it,
because she really sounded likea hater.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
She, did, did she, and it's just like come on,
Diana.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
You didn't even have to say that and it's just like
come on you didn't even have tosay that just watch the game,
commentate on what's happeningand keep it pushed she may be a
little bitter because she's onher way out and the hype wasn't
surrounded them like it is nowand it's like I can see it from
two and I won't say long as astaple in the WNBA and I've been

(37:50):
putting in the years, beenputting in the work and you know
, going unrecognized.
And then you get these collegegirls.
You know playing ball, playinghell of a game, great game.
You know the athleticism well,you know girls are really not
that athletic, but they'regetting a little

Speaker 3 (38:05):
bit more athletic, you know the fast pace well you
know, girls are really not thatathletic but they're getting a
little bit more athletic.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
You know the fast pace.
The whoops, whoops, whoops arethere and the internet.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
They had the internet to alsohelp them with that push.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
It's different now.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
And they didn't have that.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
And they probably didn't have that they're like
well damn.
As times change change thingsget better, right and things
change.
You know, older people tend tonot like change, and it's true,
um, but yeah, it was borderline,a little bitterness undertone,
but she's also saying like hey,you may be a dog right now but

(38:41):
you gotta come live with the biggirls I'm not saying that what
she said wasn't the truth.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
That's no.
No, that's an obvious given.
They're going to have to steptheir game up for sure.
But the way she said it andwhat she said, yeah.
It was a little haterish to me.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
It was a little bitter, but, like I said, I
don't know, you know, like yousaid, you agree, you may be
super superhuman here, but onthis next level, you, you gonna,
maybe either you're gonna excelor you maybe get brought down a
couple of everybody's gonnahave their uh.
Welcome to the wmba moment ohyeah, and I'm sure diana gonna

(39:16):
be trying to give it toeverybody, everybody, and I'm
gonna tell you right now, uh,kayla clark, she better be aware
, because a lot I'm gonna giveit to her.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm gonnagive it to her.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
Oh yeah, A lot of them are going to give it to her
.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
That's coming Because , Diana they already said Diana-
already when she say welcome,and then she bumps you, and then
yeah so like Kelly's going toget hers and she's got to be
prepared for it.
All of them are going to gethers they are going.
They're going to come at you,yeah, like, but they also going
to be trying to rough you up.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
But the thing about it is they know this.
Yeah, these rookies that arecoming in, they know what's
coming, but that's just going topush them and motivate them to
work even harder.
Like, okay, I'm going to showyou and honestly I won't, I'm
not going to lie to you.
Like I want Kaitlyn to shine.
I do want her to shine.
I want her to shine, I want andright now I got her projected

(40:03):
rookie of the year Like I thinkthat she will be the rookie of
the year, barring any type ofinjury, knock on wood.
But I think that Caitlyn isgoing to do her thing.
I just really do.
She works hard, she gets in thegym, she grinds Along with the
other girls.
But I just think herspecifically.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
yeah, she's going to do her thing, All right.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Go ahead and roll up the rest of the top 10.
So yeah, like we said, kaylinwent number one, cameron Brink
went number two to the Sparks,and then you have Camila Cardoso
, who went to the Chicago Skywith the third overall pick, and
then, with the fourth overallpick, rekia Jackson went to the
Sparks, the Dallas Wingsselected JC Sheldon with the

(40:44):
fifth overall pick, theWashington Mystics selected
Aaliyah Edwards with the sixthoverall pick and then backdoor,
the number seven pick, theChicago Sky.
They picked up Angel.
Yes, now can we pause therereal quick?
Sure, I like Angel, I love herpassion, I love how she talks,
noise, I love it.
But she is one of the onesthat's going to really have to

(41:05):
like get better.
And it was very.
She got exposed a little bit, alittle bit, just a little bit,
because she still was averagingpretty much a double-double.
She was also the SEC Player ofthe Year.
She was averaging like adouble-double in the tournament.
But when you watch her game andme just being a fan of
basketball, she plays down lowand on that block and in that

(41:26):
paint.
She doesn't really have movesLike.
She is very one-dimensional asfar as like she's a really good
rebounder.
She gets her points pretty much.
If she's up the court, get herthe ball in transition.
She can score in transition.
She pretty much grabs boardsand, you know, puts them back up
.
I want to see Angel develop ashot like a mid-range shot, and

(41:48):
I want to see Angel get somemoves, because I really feel
like if she gets that footworkdown then she could be a really
good player.
But she went number seven tothe Chicago Sky.
Her and Camila Cardoso aregoing to be playing together,
but I want to see Angel thrivein the WNBA.
I really do so.
She has to get better, andshe's been posting clips of her

(42:10):
in the gym and working on hershot, working on her three
pointer.
I ain't seen her working onpost moves yet, though.
I mean, and obviously she isgoing to have to develop a shot
because you're going to beplaying against much bigger
girls.
You're probably going to haveto develop a shot because you're
going to be playing againstmuch bigger girls.
You're probably going to haveto play that 3-4 position, and

(42:31):
so I want to see her, thoughwith some moves in the paint.
That's what I want to see herwith, along with developing her
jumper.
How do you feel about that?

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Yeah, no, actually, you mentioned that she's been
posting videos.
What's his name?
Chris Brickley out of new york.
Um, yeah, she went to his gymand she was putting up shots,
but I don't know if y'all knowthat.
But, angel, before she hit agrowth spurt, she was a point
guard.
Okay, so she can drill.
Um, and yeah, she played theguard position and then she hit

(42:59):
like two growth spurts and nowshe's six, three um.
So, of course, like, if you'rethat tall as a woman, you're
pretty much a post or a center.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
So then she needs to work on that handle then too.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
No, she definitely do .

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Angel plays flimsy, she's like blah, blah, blah yeah
.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
And I hate that.
I hate players that be bouncyand just be falling on the
ground all the time.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
I hate that.
And again, this is not no knockon the angel.
No, no, no, no, because I likeangels, but if I'm a WBA scout.
If I'm a part of the ChicagoSky and she was my scout, I
would tell her this like hey, wetook you, but these are the
things that we need you toimprove on period.
It's just facts, yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
I think she knows what she needs to work on and
stuff like that.
But yeah, I think she, like yousaid, she's going to be a
slight project and she's goingto have to try to get a little
bit bigger because you're goingto be banging down there with
the big girls, like we'vealready stated Candace Parker,
aja Wilson, dewana Bonner.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
John Quill Jones.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Who's?
Else down there, man.
Just to name a few.
She's going to have to try toput on a little.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
I'm going to say just put on some muscle, Put on some
muscle put on a little weight.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Like Vel said, the footwork.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Stand your ground, stay up, develop a midi.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Develop that three, She'll be alright Plus.
Don't sell tickets yes, ofcourse you know what I'm saying?
She don't sell ticketsregardless, but with the tickets
, you want to also expand yourgame, don't you feel, rose?

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Yeah, I agree.
I agree she needs to work onher free throws and her moves.
Her post moves and of courseshe gotta work on the mid range.
She ain't gotta have a threeright now mid range.
She gotta work on her jump andher free throws.
To me, I agree.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
So do you see Angel being well?
Do you see Angel having asuccessful WNBA career?

Speaker 1 (44:56):
If she work at it.
Yeah, If she stay off thesocials and work at it.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
That's what she do.
Yeah, all right, I'm sayingokay.
Yeah, all right, I'm sorry okaydo you?

Speaker 2 (45:04):
think you, you did you answer that day if, uh, you
think she's gonna have asuccessful wba career I don't
know yet.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Oh, that's why I said I, I want to.
I want to see her thrive and dowell in the wba.
But I need to see first.
I need to see, I need to see.
The season starts next monthyeah, you know I mean yeah, so
uh.
Yeah, we'll see um, but I'mrooting for her, I really am, uh
.
And then so number eight,minnesota links.

(45:32):
They picked up alissa pileyfrom utah, uh, from utah, uh.
Dallas wings picked up carlaliate I hope I'm saying that
right, she's from france.
And then the 10th pick, and I'mgonna stop here.
Well, actually I have one more.
The 10th pick.
They picked um, picked up theconnecticut sun, picked up layla
lakin, and then so the aces.

(45:54):
You know they just won thechampionship, so they weren't
gonna really have a high pick.
They picked up my girl, daishafair, which was the fifth.
I believe she was the fifthall-time scorer in women's
basketball history.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
Now she's 5'5", but I feel like this could be a
project for the Aces, so I'mhappy that she gets an
opportunity to showcase herskill and try to, you know,
solidify her spot on the squad.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
I wanted to say something, because the Aces
everyone knows the Aces is ourteam.
That's who we really root for.
We are fans of the Dallas Wings, but the Aces are our team and
you said that.
You said the Aces is going tobe a project.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
I feel like she will because of her size.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
That's the only knock is her size and the good thing
about her going to the Acesesshe doesn't have to be ready,
right now right, exactly exactlyso you know they have the
chelsea grades and the kelseyplums and so just be an
understudy, right now be anunderstudy.
Yeah, you're not gonna get inthe court anyway she may not

(47:02):
maybe in garbage time, maybe inin garbage time.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
It depends on you know how she looks in training
camp.
I think that's what it dependson.
Is she going?
To be that Because she's aconfident player.
She's small, but she's verysmall.
But, like you said, I don't seeher coming in right away and
getting a lot of playing time.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Okay, Because I was going to ask do you see her
taking Jackie Young's spot?

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Of you see her taking .

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Jackie.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
Young's spot?
Of course not Chelsea Kelsey.
No, okay, not right now.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
But see she got drafted to a good team.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
Yes, she did.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
And Becky Hamm is a hell of a coach With a lot of
good vets Bring her on slowlyThen she'll probably be ready.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
But as long as you have Chelsea Gray and Jackie
Young and Kelsey Plum, we willsee De'Asia.
You know, we're up by 20 or 30.
It's only like 36.
But it's okay, but she's a goodplayer, man you know what?
Let me not say that, because Idon't know, she may take Jackie

(47:57):
Young's spot.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
No, she's 5'5" and I'm not even trying to keep
throwing her size out there.
But Jackie is solidified intheir rotation.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
That's a champion.
I'm back to back even trying tokeep throwing her size out
there, but Jackie is solidifiedin their rotation.
I mean we just got yeah, yeahwe just got to see.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
We just got to see what Deja does in training camp.
But I'm happy for her.
I'm happy that she got anopportunity because, like
numbers don't lie, and shedefinitely solidified herself in
the women's college basketballgame.
Just happy to see what she does.
If we do see her.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
We'll see her.
That's all we got for collegeand WNBA.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
I'm excited for the WNBA season, y'all.
It's going to be really goodWith these rookies coming in the
way.
Ticket sales are going, thetalk, the chatter I'm just
excited.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
I'm happy they have to move arenas when Kayla Clark
comes in.
Yes, she'll tell you a lot.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
It should tell you a lot how the season is going to
go.
I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
I'm excited about it.
I'm going to see the ticketholder.
I'm excited about it.
I'm going to see the ticketholder, so I'm excited.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
She happy y'all.
She just had to put that inthere.
Yeah, man, alright, you readyto?

Speaker 2 (49:10):
move on.
That's it Alright.
Baby Drop that beat Alright.
Y'all know, when we play that,what that mean.
It's time to talk about thatNBA.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
I think this is what we all been waiting on.
I know we kind of slow walkedy'all here, but we here now the
play-in starts this week, startstomorrow.
Yeah right, that's right.
And you know what.
I'm going to be quiet.
You know why I'm going to bequiet.
You know I'm gonna be quiet.
Let me tell you, I'm gonna bequiet because I ain't gotta
worry about it.
I ain't gotta worry about noplay in these two jokers, veils

(49:55):
and rose.
You know gotta worry about theplay in me.
I'm chilling the sunday.
I'm chill I.
I ain't got no dog with a fightbaby.
You know why did my marriagefinish the fifth seed like I
said we was going to do.
I said between five and sevenand we hit five.
But again, it's not about me,it's not about my team, it's
about y'all.
Go ahead, I get it.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
Yeah, I was just about to say Rose is a Mavs fan.
First, I just like.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
LeBron.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
Yeah, but I mean, I understand why Lise and Rose, to
an extent, are excited becausethey didn't make the playoffs
last year.
So I get it.
I understand their excitement,no shade.
But I'm just saying so, I getit.
And Lise is right, theMavericks and the Clippers are
the only two teams.
Well, they're the only matchupset, right?

(50:43):
No, they're not the onlymatchup set.
Not everybody's set now.
Everybody's pretty much set nowafter yesterday's games.
But yeah, the Mavericks and theClippers have been set for like
at least three or four daysalready.
And then you got theTimberwolves going up against
the Suns and that's pretty muchit in the West.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
But yeah, she right, she ain't got to worry about it
till sunday um.
I think that's gonna be adecent series.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
I do have the mavericks winning that one um,
but because the mavericks havejust looked great.
We're not.
We're not talking about this,right, we no?

Speaker 2 (51:17):
I'm just okay.
So what?
So how?

Speaker 3 (51:18):
so how we okay, so we're gonna start with the play,
and I guess that's right.
I guess that's right.
So rose hasn't really said much, so I'm gonna let I'm going to
let.
Rose talk about the play-inthat starts tomorrow, and I'm
going to get my two cents andthen Lisa come in with it.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Oh well, first of all , the Mavericks is my team, so
looking for MVP.
But yeah man, the Lakers goingto beat the Pelicans.
Of course I know everybodytrying to say the Lakers should
tank and lose.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
So why are y'all tanking?
Y'all don't want to play the.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Thunder.
Nah, the Nuggets.
The Nuggets are the second seed, but none of that matters.
We ain't going to tank, we'reon the go.
We're going to beat thePelicans and then we're going to
beat the Nuggets but we'll getinto that later and then I think
, the Kings going to beat theWarriors.
I think so.
I don't think the Warriors gotenough this year.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
I have a question teams that are in the play-in
how many games do y'all get?
Is it one and done, or do y'allget to play two?

Speaker 1 (52:17):
The winner of the 7v8 game.
They get the seventh seed andthey play the second seed.
So whoever the second seed isthe Knicks or the Nuggets,
depending if you're the West orthe East and then the ninth seed
versus the tenth seed.
If you lose you out, and if youwin, you play the loser of the
seventh, the eighth seed andthen the winner of that game is

(52:38):
the eighth seed.
And they play either OKC orBoston, whoever in the
conference.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
Right, see, I didn't know the rules because I didn't
have to worry about those.
I'm not going to be petty again.
I've already said what I had tosay about last season.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
I didn't care about the rules, because we're not
there when you tied your spot.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Y'all weren't there last year, sweetie, we tanked.

Speaker 2 (53:04):

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Tanked for what we got lively.
We have protected Tim.
How did that work out for y'all?

Speaker 1 (53:11):
Good, Great actually.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Then she trolled it.
Then she trolled it.
Go ahead Des Finish up.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
We got the Bulls versus the Hawks on Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
I'm going to take the Bulls because I don't like.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Trae Young.
Is he back?
Yeah, he's back.
I've spoken vocally.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
That surprised me yesterday too.
I'm like Trae playing.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Yeah, oh, we got Philly versus the Heat.
This is surprising, but I'mgoing to take the Heat.
I'm going to take the Heat.
I think in B he hurt right now.
I like Maxie and everybody.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
but Jimmy Butler.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
I don't understand man, that man won two playing
games last year and then went tothe finals.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
Jimmy different, you're right, but I feel like
the Heat haven't been as of late.
They ain't been playing, theyain't been the same Heat team, I
think, the way that the Sixersare playing right now.
I did not know that Joel washurt again.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Again.
Yeah, I mean he got hurt.
I think like the second to lastgame before the season was over
with, but he played the lastgame.

Speaker 4 (54:16):
I just feel like he's not 100% is what I'm saying.
I don't think he's 100%.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
And if he depended on Tobias Harris.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Good luck, but I like Tyrese.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Yeah, no, for real.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
But I like Tyrese Maxey.
Tyrese has been hooping thisyear.
He may, honestly may, be themost improved player this season
.
From last season to this season, he's made a huge jump he did
Because after James left, hejust stepped into that role and
has been playing some amazingbasketball.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
So yeah, I agree, mip .
So, rose, you taking Bulls overHopes.
Yeah, you taking Heat overSixers, I guess Lakers over
Pelicans.
And then you said Warriors overKings, kings over Warriors,
kings over Warriors.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
But then I think the Kings gonna beat the Pelicans
and I think Philly will beat theBulls In the next round.
Bulls In the next round, in thenext round.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
So for me, the play-in tomorrow's game between
the Pelicans and the Lakers isgoing to be kind of tricky
because I feel like both teamswant to play.
They would rather play OKC.
So I'm not really sure how thatgame is going to go.
But I do think that the Lakersare not going to play with their
food.
I think that they're going togo ahead and take care of
business.
If they have to go ahead andwin this game and then match up

(55:26):
with the Nuggets.
And I feel like it's better forthem to match up with the
Nuggets early rather than late,Because last year when they met
the Nuggets in the WesternConference Finals, it was almost
like they had ran out of gas.
They got swept in the WesternConference Finals and even with
Brian doing his thing, it justwasn't there.

(55:49):
Now I will say this the Lakershave lost the last nine games to
the Nuggets, right, and that'swhy a lot of Laker fans slash
media.
People want to see the Lakerstank quote-unquote in order to
play the Thunder in the firstround, because they feel like
that's a more favorable matchupfor them.
But I feel like that's a morefavorable matchup for them.

(56:09):
But I feel like honestly andI've been going back and forth
with this since I knew how itwas going to play out.
I just think that just takecare of business.
Tomorrow, Lakers and we'll seethe Nuggets.
We're not ducking any smoke.
Also, the Lakers versus theNuggets games like they haven't
really been blowouts.
They've all been close.
All of the games have beenclose.

(56:30):
The Lakers have just never beenable to get over that hump and
like win the game in the end.
Even the very last time theyplayed, the Lakers was up pretty
much the entire game.
And then, of course, towardsthe end of the fourth quarter,
they found some kind of way tolose and I think Jamal Murray
had turned into I don't know whohe turned into, but that man
was not missing and then, ofcourse, Jokic, with these crazy
shots he be hitting.
So I mean, they're a tough team.

(56:51):
But honestly, like I said,we're not ducking no smoke.
I'd rather play them now versuslater on.
I got the, but I have theLakers over the Pelicans
tomorrow night and then I havethe Warriors beating the Kings.
Lately, as of late, theWarriors have been playing
really good basketball.
The Kings are still withoutMalik Monk, I believe.
Oh, he's done for the season.
Yeah, he's done, but they dostill have Sabonis, they do

(57:14):
still have Fox and all the restof their players that they got.
But I just think that theWarriors, right now I think they
have a little bit moreexperience.
I remember last year's playoffs, whenever I think Golden State
won in seven games, I believe,and Curry had that 50-point game
, I believe, in the seven games.
I just feel like the Warriors,I feel like they're going to

(57:37):
beat the Kings, I don't know andthen it'll be the Kings versus
the Pelicans to see who willplay OKC In the East.
For me, I got the Bulls overthe Hawks.
I'm going to just call Bullsover Hawks and I'm going to go
Sixers over the Heat.
I'm going to just keep it thatsimple so we can move on.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Cool For me again.
No dog in the fight.
I'm taking the Warriors overthe Kings.
I just think I mean regardless,it's Golden State, right yeah?
I mean they got the pedigree,They've been there.
This is I mean this is a littleuncharted territory with the
play in, but again, this is adynasty here that we're talking

(58:16):
about.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Older.
Now Clay is starting to catchfire again too.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
He then found his shot.
You know he turned back theclock.
So the Warriors are dangeroushere, and I just don't think the
Kings have enough for that, butSabonis is crazy.
Oh yeah, no, he is.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
So they could go either way.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
I know, but when the Warriors are in the playoffs,
you got to take the Warriors.
I got the Lakers over thePelicans.
There's no reason why y'allshould lose that game.
Well, I said there's no reason,Obviously if y'all y'all trying

Speaker 4 (58:48):
to strategically trying to.

Speaker 3 (58:50):
You know I get that, but as far as the talent level,
y'all should be the best but youcan't play with your food like
that and you like they weresaying on TV earlier like you
can't mess with the basketballguys like that, you gotta, you
gotta get out there and playwith integrity you know what I
mean and play to win.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
So I got.
I hope, like you said, I hopey'all just go out there and take
care of business.
Um, I'm actually taking thehawks over the bulls.
I I just I don't, I don'treally care for ice tray myself,
but the bulls just ain'tbullying for me, you know y'all
drafted trerey.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
You don't care for him.
That's crazy.
We drafted Trey to Trey.
I know that.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
I'm just saying, but I get it.
I mean, yeah, I knew he wasn'tgoing to be a part of the matter
.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
You didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
No, no, that was already planned.
They take Trey, we swap, wepick before them.
Anyway, that's not the point.
I got the house over the booksand I'm taking the Sixers over
the Heat.
The Sixers really had a strongseason until Embiid came down, I

(59:58):
agree.
The Sixers shouldn't even be inthis position.
They shouldn't.
It's crazy.
So that alone is why I getJimmy Buckets.
Jimmy Jimmy is a playoff freak,but the fact that the Sixers
are seven when they should atleast be like three, that speaks
volumes.
So, Sixers over the Heat.

(01:00:19):
What I want Rose to do?
Because he won't be with us?
Maybe I'm saying that, but it'sa possibility that he may not
be with us.
Maybe I'm saying that, but it'sa possibility he may not be
with us through the playofftournament.
Not that he's going to die oranything, he just won't be on
the episode.
But we may bring him back if hehas time.
But, Rose, can you give me yourwinner, your Lario winner?

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Oh, the whole, thing, the whole thing If you could.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
You don't have to run through each pick Just who you
see winning this thing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Y'all know what I'm going to say.
Man, the guy number 77.
Him and Kyrie going to bringhome a shield.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
Let's go Dallas, man it's 7 versus.
Boston.
Dallas is 7 against Boston.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
I ain't mad at it Me and Bill.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
we're going to wait on ours.
We'll be back.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
Rose is picking the Triple D.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Dallas Mavericks against Boston in the finals and
we're winning in their seven.
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
That's my boy, that's my boy, what y'all got for me.
I just think this is going tobe overall, it's going to be a
really good playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
It's going to be really exciting.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
It's going to be interesting and, yeah, I can't
wait.
And are we done?

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
talking to NBA, I was going to say, while we're on
the subject, we're going to beyeah, no, cause we got to go
into the Lakers and the Mavs.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
Okay, yeah, we can get into that.
Go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Oh what, y'all got a bet or something.
No, no no bets.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
We, just because you know she's a fan of Mads fan,
and we just kind of like tobanter back and forth a little
bit and brag on our teams.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
She really don't got much to brag about but I do
Actually, I have a little bit tobrag about.
Oh, just a little bit, but Ihave a lot Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
Go ahead, all go ahead.
All right, man.
So we're sitting at five.
Um, I think we were chasingfour, but once we realize, you
know, four is probably notattainable, we settle for five,
which is fine, we're prettydecent on the road um.
I'm excited rose I'm excitedthis, this, this feels special,
this almost eerie to 2011,almost, almost, almost feeling a

(01:02:26):
little 2011-ish.
We'll have to see how thisfirst round goes, but I'm so
excited, I'm pleased how we'veplayed after the All-Star break,
how our team has came togetherafter the trades.
The pieces are starting to fit.
The chemistry is there.
The guys are laughing, smiling,pulling pranks on each other.

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
That's what I want to see out of my basketball team
going into the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
That's exactly what I want to see out of my team
heading into a gauntlet Make nomistake, the West is a gauntlet
and I want to see my team havingthat camaraderie going into
something like that.
Man, I'm just so excited.
Man, if Luka don't get MVP, man, you know what?
It's a travesty, and I get whyhe was not considered at the

(01:03:16):
beginning, because we didn'thave the best record.
But the fact that we went froma playing team like the Lakers
to a seeded five team with thenumbers Lucas putting up there's
no, maybe no mistake.
He is the MVP.
Of course, not to take nothingaway from Jokic, his name is

(01:03:41):
being brought up every year.
He's actually won twice in arow, right, I can't say nothing
away from uh, shy he, he's beengreat, he's led that team so.
But I just feel like when yougo on a triple double streak of
seven and you've gone on doubledouble streaks of I don't know

(01:04:02):
10 to 12, it's giving a littlemvp to me and I think that we
need to do right.
I know people the I don't know10 or 12, it's giving a little
MVP to me and I think that weneed to do right, I know people
don't like Luka because they sayhe cry, he whine and all that
stuff.
Okay, most all Diva superstarsdo.
But this man is putting up hugenumbers, huge numbers, breaking
all kinds of records and forthat alone you take Luka off

(01:04:25):
this team.
Will we still be a playoff team?
I mean, I know we got Kyrie, no, but we got to be honest If you
took Luka off the Mavericks,will we be in the fifth seed
right now?

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
No.
So when you remove a player,when you say this player's not
playing, what does my team looklike?
We look like crap.
So to me, that tells meeverything I need to know.
Luka is definitely the MVP, butother than that man, I'm just
excited.
I'm waiting to take ClippersNow.

(01:05:00):
I'm not taking the Clipperslightly.
They have been our Achillesheel since 2020 or 2021.
Whenever we had played in theplayoffs beat us um.
Both years in a row theyknocked us out.
But I'm kind of like ravenjohnson, I'm on a revenge tour.
I'm on a revenge tour.
Uh, I think.
I don't think the clippers haveenough for what we got to do

(01:05:21):
what we got.
I don't think they have enoughfor what we got.
I'm excited.
Rose, you a Mavs fan, Talk tome.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
I'm excited, man.
We're going to have to do itone game at a time, one step at
a time, but we've been playingdefense.
Pj and Gaffer have been hooping, hopefully lively back.
Exum is a game changer, kyrie,of course, and we got a bench.
We coming, kyrie, of course,and we got a bench.
Yeah, we we coming, man, weready Mavs in what?
Oh, against the Clippers?

(01:05:50):
Yeah, six, six.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
I'm saying Mavs in five or Mavs in six, but you
know what?
Because I do respect JamesHarden, I do respect Paul George
and the Kawhis and the Russells.

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
Mavs in six, yeah yeah, I have the Mavs at six.
Yeah, I have the Mavs beatingthe Clippers in about five or
six.
Myself, the Mavs have beenlooking really, really good
Since you guys have made thattrade.
I can't knock.
I do agree that Lucas should bethe MVP, because the numbers

(01:06:21):
he's been putting up and I meanthis man is putting up, he's
scoring.
What is he averaging in thefirst half, like maybe 25 to 28
points in the first half.
I mean like it's ridiculous um,but he's been playing lights out
basketball and.
But I think the thing with theMVP the criteria is just so it's
so confusing, you just don'tknow what they're looking at.

(01:06:43):
Like it's it's tough, I think,for them to to just kind of
choose, because I feel like theymove to goalposts every year
depending on what player it is.
I mean because it was someyears that LeBron should have
had MVPs, but I rememberspecifically the year that Nash
had got it and he shouldn't have.
It should have been LeBron'sMVP.
You know what I mean and Irespect Nash, but you know what

(01:07:06):
I mean.
Like it's just I sat out at theset, like you just never know.
So I do agree that Luka shouldbe the MVP, but if he gets
snubbed, it wouldn't be thefirst time somebody in NBA
history has been snubbed from anMVP, you know.
But I do have the Mavericksbeating the Clippers in about
five or six games in their firstround series.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
Cool.
Do y'all want to talk abouty'all Lakers and what y'all got
to be proud of?

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
First of all, again, I get it.
They did not make the playoffslast year, so they're excited.
They're excited.
They didn't have a dog in thefight last year and I understand
, you know, they just kind ofwatched other teams play.
But this year they do havesomething to be proud of.
So I'm going to let her haveher moment Right now.

(01:07:56):
The Lakers are currently theeighth seed and I feel like they
would be a higher seed hadfreaking ham knew how to coach
the team.
Ham is just not.
I don't like him.
I can't even I can't evenlisten to him talk anymore.

(01:08:17):
The players sometimes seem torespect him.
Sometimes they seem not torespect them.
Like it's just, I don't know,it's been weird, like some of
the lineups that he just, oh,let's try this, okay them.
Like it's just, I don't know,it's been weird, like some of
the lineups that he just, oh,let's try this, okay, let's try
this.
Like that's what it seemed likehe just telling the coaches
that we'll just try this tonight, see if it works.
No, sir, like you have to putthe, you have to put rotations
together, who have had minutestogether, who have had chemistry

(01:08:38):
built on the court together,and sometimes I feel like, hey,
I'm kind of straight away fromthat, just trying stuff, and I
feel like that's why we're inthis situation we are in now
because AD played 76 games thisseason.
Brian played 70-plus thisseason.
If you would have told me thatat the beginning of the season,
oh, I would have had us at leasttop five, like I had us at the

(01:08:59):
beginning.
Like I predicted, I had us topfive, at least in the West.
What happened?
But I'm not really mad because,like, we are the eighth seed
and if the play-in didn't exist,we would be playing OKC in the
first round.
But since it does, we're goingto let the chips fall where they
may, like LeBron always says soagain tomorrow.

(01:09:20):
We got the Pelicans in theplay-in game.
If we beat them, then we willbe playing the Nuggets.
I got a good feeling.
Honestly I do because it's hardto beat a team so many times
and I feel like it's one of themtrick series, you know what I
mean.
Like it's a trick bag series,like Dez would say, because
everybody has the Nuggetswinning, right, everybody is

(01:09:43):
projecting the Lakers to beatthe Pels tomorrow.
We don't know what's going tohappen, but they got the Lakers
beating them and they're likewell, they're not winning
against the Nuggets.
So there's that.
Get ready for that question.
Blah, blah, blah.
You don't know what's going tohappen and I feel like, like I
said, after getting beat by ateam so many times at some point
, enough got to be enough Now.

(01:10:06):
I'm not disrespecting theNuggets.
We all know what type of teamthey are.
I'm honestly surprised thatthey're not the number one seed.
But the way the West went thisyear and how crazy it was it was
a three-way tie for one that'sunheard of.
I don't think that's everhappened in NBA history.
It literally came down to thevery last game of the season.
I'm proud of the Lakers becausethey didn't give up, even if

(01:10:28):
they let go of some games thatthey shouldn't have.
I can remember specificallywhen they were up 20-something
on the Brooklyn Nets and letthem come all the way back and
win their game.
It's certain games that theyshould have.
You got to win the games thatyou're supposed to win.
They let a few of them go.
Ad got poked and out of thenight and then he misses the

(01:10:50):
game.
Braun missed the game, the lastgame against the warriors.
Like it's just certain thingsthat have happened this season
that kind of put them in thespot where they're in.
We could have been a 9-10 seedbecause we were, but we're in
the eighth spot.
We're gonna take that, we'regonna play who in front of us
and and then, like I said, we'rejust going to let the chips
fall where they're made.
Brian in year 21 was stillridiculous, which is crazy,

(01:11:13):
still playing at a high level.
He scored his 40,000th pointthis year Yesterday.
He passed 11,000 assists forhis career.
I mean, the man, is he averaged25 this season?
I mean the man, is he averaged25 this season?
I just sometimes I just run outof things to say about Brian, I
don't really know, butindividually I was pleased with

(01:11:37):
him and also individually I waspleased with AD, because that
was the knock coming into theseason he ain't going to play,
he going to be injured.
And he told us at the beginninglike I want to play all 82 and
he played 76.
So I got to give it up to AD.
Like I got to give it up to himbecause he he thugged it out
and he played.
He wasn't injured as much andlike you know what I'm saying,

(01:11:58):
he actually had a real shootWithout Luka, without Jokic,
even without Giannis.
Even AD was in the MVPconversation at one point in
time.
That's how good a basketballhe's been playing this season,
so I'm rolling with my guys.
I'm not, I guess at this pointI have to be satisfied with
where we are.

(01:12:18):
Like I said, we've got a playerwho's in front of us, so I'm
confident in this team.
Though, and Lisa's talking allthat noise.
You better hope that this don'tcome back and bite you in the
butt, because I'm not going tostop trolling.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
I'm going to let you know now.
I'm not going to stop trollingLike if we lose in the first
round.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
Well, no, I'm not saying if y'all lose in the
first round, I got y'all beatingthe Clippers, but don't let
this come back and bite you oh.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Don't let this come back and bite you.
Oh, I mean it can't, becausewe're not in the playoffs.
No, I'm not talking aboutplaying-wise.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
I'm talking about play-offs.
I have the Lakers making theplayoffs period, but I'm just
saying don't let this come backand bite you without as noise.
You're talking without as noise.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
you're saying, we are contenders.
Desmond gave his prediction ofwhat was going to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
No, I'm not talking about the prediction, I'm
talking about the noise you'retalking, you know what you're
doing.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
We're waiting on Sunday.
We're not panicked, we'recatching a flight on Friday.
Hello, we're good Tomorrow.
I'm just going to be a fan ofthe NBA tomorrow.
I'm just going to be a fan ofthe NBA, like you were last
season.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
I get it, we tanked.
No, I don't want to hear it.
You were a fan last year.
Why did y'all have to tank?

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
We needed help.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
No, but why did y'all have to tank?
What position were y'all in?
Oh okay, All right, Moving on.
No, no no Moving.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
moving on because look now, correct me if I'm
wrong, because my memory is alittle, you know sometimes but
if we would have played, we werestill in position to make the
play in.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
That's what I'm saying.
Like, what position were y'all?

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
in.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
We were on the outside looking in that's why
y'all had to tank, because hady'all made the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
We would not have gotten lively.
We was protecting, we were atop.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
You're not getting what I'm saying.
Y'all were in a position thaty'all had to tank sweetheart.
You had to.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
We didn't have to.

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
I mean yes, yes All right.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):

That I won't make excuses for.
I won't make excuses for that,that I won't make excuses for,

(01:18:29):
okay.
I won't make excuses for thatone I did.
I did Because what I wanted tosay.
I battled injury, I caught theinjury bug that week and I also
did not start one of my playersand left him sitting 59 points
on the bench.
But that's that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
But we both started that way.
Remember the first day of ourcompetition?
In that round you had forgot tostart somebody and I had forgot
to take somebody out of mystarting lineup that was out and
he was like yeah, you forgot tomove him too.
And I'm like dang it's alreadyafter 6 o'clock.
They didn't already start it,so yeah but anyway, I'll take
that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
Yeah, now the second league.
Big dog, I now friend, you won,bro, you won.
I ain't gonna even count nowthat second, the second league,

I totally, I totally forgotabout that other league cause.
I was so focused on that onewhen I lost go ahead, finish, I
the league, because I was sofocused on that one.

(01:19:25):
When I lost go ahead, finish I.
Didn't make no line up changesme and Lee's were killing that
league from a jump.

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
So we both knew that we were going to be.
Well, I figured we were goingto be in the championship game.
But guess what?
The last week I also forgot tostart line ups and I still beat
her by 700-800 points withouteven like going to go check,
because it's a free league, butit was a championship round, but
yeah.
So we both kind of like was inthe same boat.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
So did you.
I never even checked it, ever,ever.
And then when I realized, I'mlike oh shit, I forgot, we got
another, I got you, but you madeit to the championship round
without checking.
No the championship round.
I did not check at all becauseI didn't know, because we played
against Nisi.
Shout out Nisi.
I played against Nisi the roundbefore, but that was two weeks.

(01:20:16):
I didn't know.
It was two weeks, so I stoppedchecking after that first week.
So really I should have lostagainst Nisi too, but she
obviously wasn't checking in Iknow you be listening, shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
That's all I got to say about that All right, I
ain't busy, drop the beat, we'llbe quick.
Texas Rangers they're doing adamn thing.
I'm proud of them.
They still look special.
They've dropped a few games,but overall we look good.
I don't know if y'all havecatched any Ranger games or

(01:21:40):
anything like that In thebackground?

Speaker 3 (01:21:42):
yes, for sure, because I mean they're the
defending champs, so youdefinitely gotta put eyes on
them.
I just hope that we can defendour championship.
At least let us make it to theplayoffs.
I definitely want to see us inthe playoffs again.
Last year was a special run andso I'm hoping we got a lot of
games left.
We're hosting All-Star Weekendthis season.

(01:22:05):
I'm excited about the Rangersand to see what we're going to
do.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
Same.
Likewise, like you said, it's amillion games in the baseball
season, so too early to getexcited.
But I do want to just point outwe are leading our division the
American League.
West we are number one, sittingat a 9-8 record.
The American League West we arenumber one, Sitting at a 9-8
record.
We failed at Houston this pastweekend.
We lost that series withHouston, but we also beat them

(01:22:31):
when they played here.
We won that series.

Speaker 4 (01:22:34):
So I mean it's going to be a teeter-totter.
Right now, Houston is last inour division.

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
You know I hate Houston, but don't think that's
going to last, right.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
Like we're early.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
I'm not even a hater like that.
Houston's going to find theirway back up.
They're battling injury andthat's what's causing them.
A lot of their pitchers are out.
We're battling injury.
We lost somebody.
Oh my gosh, I cannot even thinkof his name.
Was it Young, Josh Young.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
Oh yeah, Josh Young.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
So we lost Josh Young ?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, JoshYoung.
So we lost Josh Young a majorhitter for us.
He's out.
I don't know how long, I can'teven remember how severe the
injury is, but I'm going to keepwatching the Rangers.
They got the whole city turnedup, the whole city excited.
I'm trying to find a game to goto, but yeah, right now we are
leading the AL West, so shoutout to the Texas Rangers, keep

(01:23:25):
doing the thing.
We look very special.
It seems like we haven't felloff at all, and that's what I
want to see out of a defendingchampion.
Let's go ahead and move on toour Dallas Stars.
The Dallas Stars are also doinga damn thing.
They are going into the playoffsas well, they have won their
division, they are divisionchampions and I believe, if I'm

(01:23:48):

They have won their division,they are division champions and
I believe, if I'm not mistaken,at one point we were sitting in
number two in the league.
Okay, so the playoffs arestarting soon.

and we like to root for thehome team yeah, we definitely
