1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Unplugged, brought to you by DraftKings Man.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: A crazy week and weekend and hoops were down to

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: the Eastern and Western Conference finals with a lot of

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: young new faces. Before we jump into that, though, I

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: want to welcome my brothers, Vernon Maxwell, who just had

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: Ashley elbows and I kind of lotion in his elbows

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: before we started, and my dog Duly Fellas, what up, everybody?

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: What's going on? Man?

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: What's going on? How's everybody doing? Man? Everybody? Good? Man?

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: Man less man?

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: Yes, all time, hey, fellas. We got a lot of

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: new young faces in the conference finals. The NBA will

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: have a seventh different champion in seven years, first time

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: in NBA history that's happened. Three out of the four

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: teams have never tasted that. Larry O'Brien and the Knicks

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: last title was in nineteen seventy three, so that was

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: a lifetime ago. Let's start thunder Wolves first game on Tuesday.

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: The series split was two to two. The Thundered are

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: favored minus three seventy in this series. Some of the

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: key thunder guys have been struggling, though, Fellows, So let's

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: jump into this series.

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: I started off man I tell you I love you know,

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: the thunder Many. That's my squad, man, I say, they

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: gonna that's the team I got to win it all.

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be a great series, man. And Man,

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: you know they're playing they're playing good at the right time.

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 2: You know they're playing real good at the right time.

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 2: So but I think it's gonna be a great series.

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see this ship. And I liked

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: what the league's doing now. Like we were talking about

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: before the show, we think it was a memo sent

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: out to these motherfuckers. Let me to the referees, to

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: let these motherfuckers play. The motherfuckers play, man. So and

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: but that's the part I really love about all this

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: shit though. The referees is really letting this motherfuckers play.

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: And so I look forward to that part. But it's

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: gonna be a great series. But oksee, I think of

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: winning in seven.

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: Kad excuse me before you get into your Segon. Just

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: want to get some stats. Sga and Williams are shooting

41
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: under thirty percent from the three point line in the playoffs.

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: Chats at sixteen and ten and two and a half

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: blocks and gets a chance to go home and play

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: in front of his home crowd. Wolves ant is twenty

45
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: six eight and six on forty five and thirty five splits,

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: and Randall, who I think has been one of the

47
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: best players in the playoffs and will be a key

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: in this series, is at twenty four, six and six,

49
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: shooting fifty thirty five and nearly ninety percent from the

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: free throw line. Katie thoughts on this series.

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: I love this series. I think that it's very balanced.

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: I think both teams have great benches. You know, Minnesota

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: plays three great guys off the bench, you know when Walker,

54
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: Alexander nas reed and then Devincenza right, and so they

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: have depth, right, So I don't think it's just a

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: mismatch from the depth standpoint. Though Oklahoma City their guys

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: do have depth, they can't impact the game, especially on

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: the defensive end with Caruso, who's approven champion and those

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: young guys as well. Man, they come in and they

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: play their role. But I like oka See in this series.

61
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: I think they have the best closer in the game,

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: at least the top two closers in the game. So

63
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: I still like okay See in this series. And I

64
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: think really the difference of this series will be you know,

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: lou Dort, you know kind of garden, you know, Anthony Ews.

66
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: I believe that lou Dort is one of the top three,

67
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 3: if not the best on ball defender those Sometimes he

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: might not get the most steals or blocks, like just

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: standing in front of somebody and playing them with physicality. Offensively,

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: all he does is pretty much shoot threes, and so

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: he doesn't need his legs for that. He spends all

72
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: his energy on the defensive end, and I think he'll

73
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: make it really tough on Ant.

74
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: And so I like the OKC Thunder.

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: I won't say how many games I like them in,

76
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: but I like that I like them to be the

77
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: first to four.

78
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: I said, I said had early on that this could

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: be the year that we see, okay, see you get

80
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: popped in the second round, and that nearly happened. Or

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: it could be the year that they get over the

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: hump and represent the Western Conference in the finals. And

83
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: this is you know, they've extended their chances. Obviously Game

84
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: seven this past weekend, they showed that they were the

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: better team and never had some issues. But hey, they

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: showed that they were the better team. They're on to

87
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: the final or Western Conference Finals. Now, I love okac's depth.

88
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: I love their camaraderie. Like I've said this, I fuck

89
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: with what kind of team that they really mess with

90
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: each other, really on the same page. And we've all

91
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: played on teams where either there was like that or

92
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: there was some islands, And you can definitely tell the

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: energy when players are on islands. Those guys are all

94
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: on the same page. And I absolutely love that. And

95
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: if you look at it, I mean, arguably, once the

96
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: wave passes of the greatness and still that's still here

97
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: with Steph Lebron and KD. These two guys SGA and

98
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: Ant are right in the mix of you know, the

99
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: face of the league. So I mean, obviously we'll get

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: into the other side, but we have all young who brunts.

101
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: It I want to say is twenty eight. We got

102
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: all mid and young twenty somethings that are in these

103
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: conference finals. I'm gonna say, I like, I like Oklahoma

104
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: City too, but I really like Ant and Randol and

105
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: I feel like still still they haven't they haven't got

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: the chemistry they're gonna have still. But like I said,

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: I think last week or two weeks ago, it's two

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: dogs that meet up and they're playing good basketball at

109
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: the right time. Those guys play hard as hell, So

110
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a great series. I'm really excited for.

111
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: But I would agree I definitely have Oklahoma City too

112
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: going to the Eastern Conference. Fellows, we are in some

113
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: dangerous motherfucking water right now, because if the Knicks get

114
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: to the finals and happen to win the finals, We're

115
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to tell no One from New

116
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: York nothing for the next twenty years. Yeah, the next

117
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: twenty years. U can't say shit to nobody from New

118
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: York if their boys are able to slide to the

119
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Lils and make it happen. Man, So let's talk about this.

120
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: This is really exciting. Obviously, these guys linked up. Last year,

121
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: the Knicks were a little shorthanded, Randall was out and

122
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: then they lost OG I think after Game two. But hey,

123
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: everyone looks it seems to be healthy again. Pacers with

124
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: their depth, same thing we talked about with Oka. See,

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: Pacers are a very deep team hot at the right time.

126
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: The Knicks are very top heavy and there guys have

127
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: logged a lot of minutes. But their guys are playing

128
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: a lot of good basketball right now. So let's let's

129
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: let's take a look at this series and KD y'all

130
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: start with you. The Knicks started a minus one for

131
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: they're favored with home court advantage. They're two and one

132
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: versus the Pacers. This year, Indy has six players averaging

133
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: double figures. This is gonna be really fun. What do

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: you see and who do you like? Wow?

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: Man, I think this is one of the more balanced

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: series that we're gonna see in some time. Right the Pacers, man,

137
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: they play with pace, they're well co Like, you know,

138
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: Rick Carlile doesn't get enough credit. Right, Remember he coached

139
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: Dirk Lewinsky and Steve Nash back in the days before

140
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: they won their championship. He coached the Detroit Pistons before

141
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: Larry Brown took over and you know, got them a championship.

142
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: So like he's one of those old school coaches that

143
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: skill set has like transcended, you know, through the generations.

144
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: And so I tipped my hat to him. They say

145
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: he used to get taped before the game, so like,

146
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: you know, he's.

147
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: A hooper to the core.

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: Like their depth, I like, you know, their continuity, But

149
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: like I just think that the Knicks.

150
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

151
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: Like with that that that top five players that they play.

152
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: They don't play a lot of people off the bench.

153
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: I think McBride comes in and he's kind of an

154
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: X factor. But I just think that the Knicks, it's

155
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: their time. They got the best closer in the game analytically,

156
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: and the eye test kind of proves to us that

157
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: Jellen Bronson is that guy during the clutch time. I

158
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: think their fans need this. And it's about time, man,

159
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: that New York does something. Man, they've been living off

160
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: the eighties and the seventies for so long, man, like

161
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: so much shi it does coming up, Man, when we

162
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: used to go to a B C. D camp and

163
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: things like thatn But you know, it's time. You know,

167
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: market teams, right and so the the the impressions and

168
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: the Nielsen you know factor. Uh, you know what I mean.

169
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: I think it'll be good for the game if the

170
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: Knicks get to the finals. I think it'll bring basketball,

171
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, back to what you know, quote unquote it's

172
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: called the Mecca.

173
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: So I'm mixing this series.

174
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: Wow, man, I can't stand the motherfuckers. Man. They act

177
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: great series. Like you said, man, it's very balancing ship.

178
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: I'm pulling for Indiana. Uh well, you know, I love

179
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: Bronson and what they what he's about and all this

180
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: ship and his dad over there. Shit, I don't think

181
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: they made it this far until when his damn daddy

182
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: was playing like like twenty some years ago. Whatever the

183
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: puff that was. So yeah, man, So but I'm pulling

184
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: for brunts and to have a good series. And but

185
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: I like Indiana in the series because New York those guys,

186
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: motherfucker's gone lost a lot of minutes on them legs. Man,

187
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: it's late to see, you know. I mean you got

188
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 2: to you gotta think about that man. And Tom he

189
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: he ain't doing a lot of fucking subbing man, So

190
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 2: you know, I mean it's I think it's going to

191
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: start to show up sometime coming up in this next series.

192
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: I mean so, but pay attention to the ship now.

193
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: Them legs be gone now. So yeah, I like, I

194
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: like Indiana. I like Indiana.

195
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: Hey, that was gonna be my main question at some point.

196
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: Are these minutes going to catch up or is it

197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: drin or is adrenaline going to prevail? Like Katie, you've

198
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: been to the conference finals right three times? Okay, yeah,

199
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: so the conference finals. I mean it's you're almost there.

200
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: You see the finish line. Yeah, so obviously my question

201
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: is that fatim he gonna set in or is that

202
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: adrenaline gonna carry them with? You know, a few days

203
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: off in between games, Max, you got to play in

204
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: the garden for the finals. What was that crowd like?

205
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: Although y'all handed them with what you needed to handle

206
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: them to get you a ring, what was that crowd

207
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: in that energy? Like in Madison Square during the finals.

208
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: A lot of ship talking, you know, we motherfucker was

209
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 2: talking so much ship outside the arena. I said, God, damn,

210
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm glad we ain't playing against all them motherfuckers. We

211
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: just playing five on five. You know, motherfuckers act like

212
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: they was gonna all play against us.

213
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, in their mind they was.

214
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 2: Motherfuckers go crazy. Man. I just can't stand the motherfuckers.

215
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: But it was. I loved it was. It's one of

216
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: my best places to play in the NBA. I love

217
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: playing and UH and THEMN in New York, and like

218
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: they said, it's the mecca. So it's like it's definitely

219
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: a drilling flow. I mean to get to going and UH.

220
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: I love playing in New York.

221
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: But let me say this, they the ultimate gas lighter.

222
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: Whoever that is up there on the organ like a

223
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: gas lighter, get the crowd off the chains. He is underrated.

224
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: Whoever the active. I don't even need to go to

225
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: the game. I just might want to be in the

226
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: city and feel the energy outside because like you said,

227
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: I mean they was whooping people's ass after the last game.

228
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: We're going to get to that. I'm like, hey, there's

229
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: some matchups in this game with Brunson and and Halliburton

230
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: and Og and Siakam and Miles Turner and Kat and

231
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: then Nie Smith and and nev Hart and then you

232
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: look on the flip you look you look on the

233
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: flip side of Heart and and and McBride and although

234
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to put you know, uh, Bridges is

235
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: kind of in that in that category too, So I

236
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of cool little matchups within this series.

237
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm really interested and excited about this series. To your point, KD,

238
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: I completely agree. This is probably the most balanced series.

239
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: And and and remember last year the w W kind

240
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: of played this up too with Halliburton and and and

241
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: runs in at an event and they stirred each other down.

242
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: Know what the fuck? Haliburt was wearing some tight jean

243
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: shorts and some combat boots. But I'm excited about this.

244
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a great series. I'm

245
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: gonna I want to go with the Knicks, not because

246
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: of I just think it'll be great for basketball. And

247
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: I think New York. New York needs a little bit

248
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: of love on the basketball side, because I think California

249
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: has passed them as far as the mecca of basketball

250
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: in Florida. To oh you started to ship, I just

251
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: say all that. I just said, Callie, it's been admitted.

252
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you all right now, we're not

253
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: we might in our lifetime, we might not be able

254
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: to say nothing to anybody from New York. If these

255
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: motherfuckers finds goodness.

256
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: I'm trying to tell you.

257
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna ride this ship for man. But other news,

258
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, I mean the city is going

259
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: crazy right now. They jumped a fan. They had a

260
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: Halliburton jersey on. Let's take a look at that.

261
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: Trash back, huh.

262
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: They just said. They also said this guy that hey,

263
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: this guy that guy jumped is Halliburton is flying him

264
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: out for these games, so he'll probably be have some

265
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: security on it. This is wild. He got didn't want

266
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: to hurt him. That's crazy, Max. I know they wouldn't

267
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: catch you slipping like that.

268
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: Max throwing hands out that motherfucker looking off and looking off.

269
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: They also they also said something to Brian Windhorse and

270
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: I didn't get to see this, so I want to

271
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: actually see this video. I just saw. I couldn't listen

272
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: to the commentary, so let let's watch this video too.

273
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: They got they got on Wendy's ass a little bit.

274
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 4: How did you feel about to lose it?

275
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck say.

276
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: To say, hey, hey, Wendy, be safe, bro safe.

277
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: It's a some damn security.

278
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: Man. It's wild in New York and it's a great

279
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: conference final on both sides. Man, So I think is

280
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: it safe to say that we are in the next

281
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: phase of basketball? Who knows what Katie is gonna do?

282
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: If you He'll have a chance to kind of get

283
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: one more sniff at this. If he goes to Houston

284
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: or something. Lebron ain't going nowhere, They're gonna be able

285
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: to ask some help for him and Luca Deaf. You know,

286
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: it has the door shut on Steph hardened with the Clippers.

287
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys that are obviously first about

288
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: Hall of famers and some of the greatest players, uh

289
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: in my generation. It's it's there's a lot of nut

290
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: young new blood man. So I'm excited about that moving

291
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: forward the future for the Boston Celtics. What does that

292
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: look like? There was conversation I caught a little bit

293
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: as I was getting ready this morning about obviously Tatum

294
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: being gone all next season and is Brown someone that

295
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: could be in that driver's seat And a lot of

296
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: people were riding the train last year he's the Finals MVP.

297
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: This is that. I love Jalen Brown, but he has

298
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: always been respectfully either one A or excuse me, one

299
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: B or Robin has always been the best players in

300
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: the game. Plan is always focused, has been always focused

301
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: on stopping Tatum. And that's just what it is. Whether

302
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: fans like to say it or not, that's what it's

303
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: been so is he ready to step into that one

304
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: a roll next season? Will this team come back? Porzingis

305
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: has thirty million expiring, Holiday still has three years one

306
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: hundred million. I don't want to overreact. I'm going to

307
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: ask the question to ask it. Do you bust a

308
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: move if something crazy comes across the table for Jalen Brown?

309
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: Or do you just stay set, let your superstar get

310
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: healthy and make a push in two years. Obviously, new

311
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: owners over there with the Celtics, and we talked about

312
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: this for we liked it. They've kept the infrastructure and

313
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: in the training wheels on, so to speak, letting the

314
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: former group kind of help them do this process. But

315
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: as Nate said, at the end of the day, they're

316
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna be in the luxury tax, you know with this roster.

317
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: Do they want to start that way? They gonna what

318
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: are they gonna do? So, you know, our eyes are

319
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: going to be on the Celtics. But what do you

320
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: guys think, Max, what do you think this team does?

321
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: Obviously not gonna have Tatum next year, coming off a

322
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: championship last year, a lot of money owed to a

323
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: lot of players. Uh, what's the future look like for Boston?

324
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: I feel like they're gonna have to bust and move,

325
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: get some trades, got to be involved in this ship

326
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: this summer, get some guys out of there, man. And

327
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: I think that's what's gonna happen. Like love Jalen Brown,

328
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he can do it. I mean,

329
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: he's a guy can can carry a team, you know,

330
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: and force. You know, I think he's he's capable. So

331
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: I mean just I mean, Drew Holliday, I mean, you

332
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: got them. He's making a lot of money, you know,

333
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: old too. You know, That's what I'm saying over the

334
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: next three years, and so I mean they got to

335
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: think about that, you know, and you know, but I

336
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: just feel like in fra zingis, you know, I mean,

337
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: he's just got to get healthy. But I think Boston,

338
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: I mean, Tatum's not going to be there all next year.

339
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: But I think Jaylen Brown can carry a team and

340
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: you know, he's very capable of doing that. And I mean, so,

341
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know about how good they'll be,

342
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: but I think, you know, Jalen Brown can handle his

343
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: thing and carry a team.

344
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 3: Though absolutely one of the things, like with the Collective

345
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: Bargaining Agreement and the new television deal, there'll be an

346
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: influx of money coming in, and so I know that

347
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: they're over the tax, but there'll be some kind of

348
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 3: compensation with this new TV deal coming in. But when

349
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 3: you're a new ownership and you don't have an opportunity

350
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 3: to win a championship, because I don't think they can

351
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: win one without Tatum as history has shown us, you know,

352
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: I think you gotta try, and you know, take a

353
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 3: page out of Sam Presty's book, go back to Danny

354
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 3: Ainge and how he kind of you know, quarterback. You

355
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 3: know that whole situation and getting assets while guys still

356
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 3: have value to be able to you know, build for

357
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: the future, and then talent retainment. Al Horford is getting older,

358
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: Tatum won't be with you next year. You still have

359
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: some value with Drew this year, so you know, he's

360
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 3: a piece that a championship team could really desire, or

361
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: even Derek White for that matter. And por Singus has

362
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: an Inspire an expiring contract, so that is valuable as well.

363
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: And so I think they got to dive on the

364
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 3: motherfucking sword this year. They got to dive on that

365
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: motherfucker right and draft capital, try and retain like Pritchett

366
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: because I think he's a young guy who could be

367
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 3: a pointed for the future. And then they got to

368
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: kind of reassemble and get that talent. But what you

369
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: want to do is you really want to keep JB

370
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: and Jason Tatum together, right, you know, because like it's

371
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 3: rare that you can get that kind of talent, you

372
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: know what I mean, in their primes together. And like

373
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 3: I said, those guys are getting older, and so I

374
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: think they should make some moves. They should, you know,

375
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: take a step back in order to like, you know, reload,

376
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, not next season, but the

377
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 3: season after next, and that'll give the new ownership group

378
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: of you know, an opportunity to you know, kind of

379
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: find their way, kind of go through some hardships so

380
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: they can appreciate, you know, the value of winning in

381
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: the league, because if you inherit the team and you

382
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: only win and you're competing for a championships, you don't

383
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: know about the hardships and there's always a recalibration period.

384
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: So I would say they should dive on the sword

385
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: and try and recalibrate.

386
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: It to be interesting to see. First and foremost, my

387
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: brother Jason Tatumn get well, yeah, chance, this would be

388
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: a big I got a chance to talk to him

389
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: last week and was just kind of talking about me.

390
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: This is physically draining, but the mental is going to

391
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: be the strongest part, and that's what he said he

392
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: was having the hardest time with at the moment. It

393
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: was just like this mental right now is tough. Og

394
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: so so definitely send him some love to the little

395
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: bro and get back strong, get back okay. Joker didn't

396
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: hold his tongue after seven games. Let's ask could the

397
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: Nuggets win a championship with this roster? He said, we didn't,

398
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: so obviously we can't. If you could, we would have.

399
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: And he said he's gonna be drinking a lot of

400
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: beer in the next week and a half. Unbelievable season.

401
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: Most likely Sga will be the MVP, but it'll it's unfortunate.

402
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: Then when we look back, we're gonna forget what kind

403
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: of season jokichad because he won't be the MVP. But

404
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: his numbers across the board have been absolutely incredible. From

405
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: the Olympics to this season to the playoffs, he's been incredible.

406
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: Jokich is fifty five million a season. Murray is forty

407
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: six million a season. Michael Porter Junior is owed thirty

408
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: eight million dollars next season. He's someone who's been injury

409
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: plagued and try to tough it out and play through

410
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: the injuries. But at the end of the day, this

411
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: man is making over thirty million. He's only giving you

412
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: nine points a game in the playoff. Hots off to

413
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: my little homie. It's definitely the Missouri tie with with

414
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: the Kronky tie. Yeah, yeah, Katie was there with Kronky.

415
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: Shout out to Aaron Gordon man for for for coming

416
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: out in Game seven knowing he couldn't really move and

417
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: trying to give them something. He's a warrior. And he

418
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: brought up a point too, you know, saying that the

419
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: NBA needs to start giving more time off in between games,

420
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: I think after the first round, which is which I'm

421
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: not mad at, because like we've all said, I mean,

422
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: the season is a motherfucker and then when you get

423
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, man, it turns the intensity up a

424
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: whole another level. Man. So he was saying some stuff

425
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: that I really like, you know, what does this team do?

426
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: This team let go? I think they underestimated the Bruce

427
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: Browns and the Jeff Greens and those smaller role players

428
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: that really helped them secure KCP, helped them secure their

429
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: first championship in a long time. Can you trade Michael Porter?

430
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: Is Murray? The guy? I mean? Murray has been up

431
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: and down. He's making nearly fifty million dollars a year.

432
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Next year, what are they going to do a new coach?

433
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 1: Is Adaman gonna go from intern two head? Are they

434
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: going to go find a big name? There's a lot

435
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: of questions over there. They don't have a GM. I

436
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: don't know who the GM is going to be, So

437
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: a lot of questions over there. And with Jokic, you

438
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: don't have too much time because there's always that talk

439
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: of pairing him with somebody out here in LA which

440
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: will be absolutely insane. So what do you think Denver's

441
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: off saton is going to look like? Katie?

442
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 3: The first thing is that, like, at some point, I

443
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: think you're gonna start seeing some more criticism of Jokic, right,

444
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, man statistically and analytically,

445
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 3: during the regular season, he puts up numbers, right, and

446
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 3: he has more MVPs than championships, right, And so there's

447
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: been several players who have been minimized, you know, for

448
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: having that kind of dynamic, right And at the end

449
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: of the day, you're, like judge off of winning. If

450
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: you're supposed to be the best player at the best

451
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: time in the league, at some point your resume has

452
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: to reflect that. So at some point, I think he's

453
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 3: going to start getting criticism about not winning championships and

454
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 3: just being you know what I mean, a guy who

455
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: gets statistics, you know what I mean.

456
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 4: Now, I know that's tough to digest, but.

457
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: That's the reality that Russell Westbrook had the experience.

458
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 4: That's something that.

459
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 3: A lot of guys who had to experience that kind

460
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 3: of criticism. So I think, luka, it's fair because of

461
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: his pedigree. So I think that the Nuggets definitely have

462
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 3: to make some changes. I don't think Michael Porter Junior

463
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: is one of those guys who has a lot of

464
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: trade value because, like one of his legs are longer

465
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: than the other. You know, he's kind of injury prone.

466
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: But he's also showed some toughness. Though his numbers were down,

467
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 3: he has played you know with the throw it.

468
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: I like him. I like him, man, I like him

469
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: a lot.

470
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: He's a good third option, you know what I mean.

471
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna hate on him. He is a

472
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 3: champion and he has brought some into that city, but

473
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 3: that's an extreme number, you know what I mean.

474
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 4: To be getting in the playoffs. So I think they

475
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: have to make some moves. I think they have to

476
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 4: define who their coach will be.

477
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: I think they have to get you know, a general

478
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: manager in there, and then they're gonna have at some

479
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: point they're gonna have to deal with the Jokic issue

480
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: because he's gonna say that, Hey, you know what, maybe

481
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 3: I can't win here, maybe I have to go take,

482
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: you know, the same path that a lot of superstars,

483
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

484
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: He'll start thinking.

485
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: That's where Nis, that's where Gianni's is right now, you

486
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: don't want to get there. They get there.

487
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: That loyalty, and then they get to that point where

488
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 3: it's about legacy because we start judging them differently after

489
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 3: you have all the individual accolades and then it's like, okay,

490
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 3: we're your championships. How do those things line up?

491
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: Let's not forget to before you go vern Dylan, what

492
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: was the GM's name in Denver? Who's in Minnesota now? Connolly?

493
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: The guy that built that roster, that that Denver roster

494
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: that won a championship. Boy is in Minnesota pulling them

495
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: strings right now. So it's to be very interesting offseason

496
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: for Denver. They are up against the clock from a

497
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: standpoint of these days, superstars aren't gonna sit by and

498
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: waitt seasons, so they got to figure it out. Yeah.

499
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: So jokicch has two more seasons under contract with an

500
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: option for sixty two million dollars. The twenty seven twenty

501
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: eight season outstanding out of it, Yeah, he could definitely

502
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: get on. Yes, moving on to the Cavs. Three straight

503
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: years with the Corps not getting past the second round?

504
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: Can this offensive minded small guard combination of Mitchell and

505
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: Garland survive in the playoffs? And when I saw this question,

506
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: I had them pull the stats of another small guard

507
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: combination that I really loved that I think had really

508
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: good teams but just kept running into the Warriors when

509
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: the Warriors were the shit. And that's that Portland back

510
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: court of Dame Lillard and CJ McCollum. Their numbers in

511
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: the playoffs were Dames were twenty six four and six,

512
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: forty one and thirty seven from the three point line,

513
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: and then CJ was twenty points, four rebounds, three assists,

514
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: forty three percent from the field in thirty eight from

515
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: the three point line. In contrast, in three seasons in

516
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs with with Donovan Mitchell and Garland, Donovan Mitchell

517
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight, five and five on forty five and thirty

518
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: four from the three and Garlands seventeen three and five

519
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: with forty three and thirty four. Something that was interesting.

520
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: Who said it? Simmons just threw a crazy idea out

521
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: there about straight up Mobley for Giannis. Obviously there would

522
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: be some more stuff in there, but I think Fellas

523
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. They need to make some

524
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: moves in Cleveland. Is Donovan Mitchell gonna sit there? And

525
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: obviously I think he did? He sign another deal there. Yeah,

526
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: so he read up. Garland had a lot of potential.

527
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: Obviously is hit by the injury bug Mobley and their

528
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: other pieces Defensive player of the Year. I don't see

529
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: this team. And I said at the very beginning, got

530
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: in trust Cleveland. What does this team need to do? Max,

531
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with you to get over the hunt.

532
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: Do they need to press reset on this team? Oh? Yeah,

533
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: Mobley's new contract. Nate just told me kicks in next year,

534
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: So how much forty six next year?

535
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: They gottat they gotta reset. You got two little guards.

536
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: Gotta tell you got those two little guards. Man, you

537
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: gotta reset, man. And and uh uh that that's that's

538
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: not gonna win. That's not a winning pedigree to me.

539
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 2: With the two small guards. Man, that shit don't work. Man. So,

540
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: but you gotta break that up first. And then damn,

541
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 2: there's a lot of money being paid to some motherfuckers.

542
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: That's really that.

543
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: You know that.

544
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: I think you know, they gotta they gotta they got

545
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 2: to break it up, man, the team up. And uh

546
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: I mean donovd Mitchell Man. I love his I love

547
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 2: his playing what he's about. I mean they need some help,

548
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: you know. I mean he's basically out there playing by hisself.

549
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: This man in the second round against and I mean Indiana,

550
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: that shit was crazy. I mean I thought, you know,

551
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: other guys will step up and give them a hand.

552
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: You know, those guys in the regular seasons easy, but you.

553
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: Know the playoff lights is different.

554
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 2: Later you get into them playoffs, man, that shit started

555
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: to change for you, you know, and a lot of nerves.

556
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 2: So but I just think they need to break it up, man,

557
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: because I'm small ball guard ship. That shit ain't gonna work.

558
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: It's not gonna work.

559
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I feel you on that og obviously, you know,

560
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: Donovan and Garland are a smaller backcourt, but like they

561
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: are productive. What I was more concerned about is that

562
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: like Evan Mobley and Garland missed games in the playoffs,

563
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 3: but then they were able to play in some games.

564
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: So for me, like old school guys, like it was

565
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: a difference between being hurt and injured, right and even

566
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: if you could go out and give twenty minutes and

567
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 3: make them game playing for you and then let the

568
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 3: adrenaline kick in and let the tour do all and

569
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 3: the quarter zone kick.

570
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: In, you know what I mean.

571
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: Like the difference of like them losing at the buzzer,

572
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like they could have made

573
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: a difference and if your go up, you know, if

574
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 3: you're down, you know, if you're up to one, and

575
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 3: things like that, like the series could go a little

576
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: bit differently, and so I sometimes, like you know, I

577
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: question this younger generation's like true commitment to the game

578
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: and doing everything that they have to do, because if

579
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: you can play, you know, miss one game and then

580
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: come and play the next two games.

581
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: Well maybe you.

582
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: Could have given a little bit more during that time.

583
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: With Evan Mobley, like, you know, he is coming in.

584
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: You know, he was what defensive Player of the Year.

585
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: He has shown growth and improvement every year. Milwaukee is

586
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: a place that can't get a lot of free agency,

587
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 3: so they have to do deals through trades. And so

588
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 3: if Giannis is thinking about leaving, you know, Houston and

589
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: Cleveland are two locations that have some assets, some young

590
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: you know assets that they could potentially you know, plug

591
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: in there. But I think it's gonna be hard to

592
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: you know, win for the Cavs if you only have

593
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: Donovan and Garland in that backcourt. You need more size

594
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: and I think could you know, kind of you know,

595
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: suppress some of those flaws. But at the end of

596
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: the day, like you know, they got to be healthy,

597
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 3: and those guys weren't healthy enough.

598
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: They didn't given up, you know, they didn't given up.

599
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: Speaking of Yannis, he said his favorite place to play

600
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: is in New York and is the city he has

601
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: the funnest in it or or the Florida cities. So

602
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means anything. I'm just we

603
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: could use him down here, he said, he can come

604
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: on down the Warriors. The Warriors, I mean the sun

605
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: is setting over there. They've had a great run. Guys

606
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: are getting older at the end of the day. Can

607
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: you get what can you get for kaminga signing trade?

608
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: It was always a mystery to me, like how what

609
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: happened with him and Steve Kerr, what happened off the

610
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: quarridor what happened with him just mentally for him not

611
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: to be able to consistently get minutes. But when they

612
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: did give him minutes, the boy played some good basketball. Yes,

613
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: the boy played some really good basketball. Numbers could be

614
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: deceiving at times, and sometimes numbers don't add up to wins.

615
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: We've seen guys in the past have crazy numbers that

616
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: don't add up to much. But I really think he's young.

617
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: He's what twenty three, twenty four hours is kminga He's

618
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: a baby, So what can you get twenty two? What

619
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: can you get in the sign and trade for him?

620
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: Janni's Steph We talk about Giannis again. Is there a

621
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: pairing there in the future. You'd probably have to get

622
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: rid of Draymond plus Kaminga and some a few. First

623
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: highly unlikely, but you know, you never know. What does

624
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: Golden State have to do? Curry is due to make

625
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: fifty nine million next year, Butler is due to make

626
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: fifty four million next year, and our brother Draymond Green

627
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: is due to make twenty five million next year. So

628
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: what do the Warriors do with that kind of payroll

629
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: and the roster they have?

630
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 4: Wow?

631
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: I think they got to sign a trade with the

632
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: young kid Kaminga first of all, I mean, he need

633
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: to be He got to get to a new environment,

634
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: another place, you know, because I mean I heard some

635
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: weird shit that happens.

636
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: He hurt.

637
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: Didn't like him because he was a guy that liked

638
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: to be in the clubs or ship, ship like that

639
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: to that nature. But ship I ain't give. I wouldn't

640
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 2: give a damn what he do. If he came out

641
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: and played like that boy plays hard man.

642
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: He playsah man.

643
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, just Harm's way man and he plays hard man.

644
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: But you can get a lot for him. I signed

645
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: in trade. You can get something for him. And then

646
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: with the Draymond deal, you know, I love Draymond to death.

647
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 2: That's my guy, man. So I mean I think it's

648
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: about time for that marriage to end, you know, with

649
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: Draymond and and and the Golden State Warriors. You know, yeah,

650
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: they need to part their ways with each other. But

651
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: I think, uh, and Steph. You know, Steph's gonna be Steph.

652
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he needs some more help. They need to

653
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: get him some help. But I just feel like they

654
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: got to break it up, man, and and make some

655
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: moves and and and good luck to the young guy

656
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: cominga man. I love his style. I love his game.

657
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: He plays hard, you know, so hopefully he can get

658
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: somewhere where somebody with flaming and love him the way

659
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: he's supposed to be loved.

660
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: Thanks Og for me. I feel like, you know, you

661
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: got to bet on the youngsters at this point. I think, man,

662
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: Draymond has served his purpose in Golden State.

663
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, they.

664
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: Maximize like his potential. You know, he's a champion. He's

665
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 3: going to be forever in all of our hearts, you

666
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 3: know what I mean, as the heart and soul in

667
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 3: the spirit of that Warriors dynasty. And so I think

668
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: like he can go and like imprint somewhere else and

669
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: give that to a whole different demographic of people. You

670
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: know what I mean and youngsters that could benefit from that,

671
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: and his number is twenty five million. I think you

672
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: got to bet on the young boy, you know what

673
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Like, you know, instead of doing a sign

674
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: and trade with Kaminga, you will find more minutes for

675
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: him if Draymon is not on that team, right, and

676
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: you will change kind of the way that you play.

677
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 3: And I think scoring is something that they need. And

678
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 3: this guy averaged fourteen to fifteen points in limited minutes

679
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: and when he gets the opportunity, he can score the basketball.

680
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 3: But with Draymond on that team, it takes a difference identity.

681
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 3: And so I think, like, but Steph getting older, with

682
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: Jimmy getting older, I think you bet on the young

683
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: guys because you can't just draft talent like that. It

684
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 3: just doesn't come up every day in the draft. They

685
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 3: developed the talent, they culptivated the talent. And like, I

686
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 3: think he's right now. If you trade him, he'll be

687
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 3: like how Tracy McGrady was when he got traded from

688
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 3: the Raptors, and he'll be like on the CUSP. If

689
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: not an All Star, he'll be a very very talented

690
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 3: lead scorer in the NBA type guy.

691
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 4: He's that talent.

692
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm not mad. What I'll say to that is

693
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: I think the bridge has been burned between him and

694
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: Kerr because I heard some of what Max said and

695
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: I heard some other shit that we don't need to

696
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: get into. So I don't know if there's light at

697
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel. But to your point, KD,

698
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: if he is able to get out to a new

699
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: situation and spread his wings, he's gonna be a problem. Yes,

700
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: he's a twenty. He's a twenty twenty plus point a

701
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: game score in this league. He's freakishly athletic. You know,

702
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: if he will listen to some people or just maybe

703
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: a change of environment to be able to listen to

704
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: some new voices, I think there's definitely his talent is

705
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: not in question here. I just think it's his mentality.

706
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting to see, you know,

707
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: you know it? Do we live in an air now

708
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: where greats Draymond was a great for the Warriors. They

709
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: don't really get to ride off into the sunset with

710
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: their teams unless anymore, you know Clay perfect example, Clay,

711
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: they had to have Clay bust to move. I think

712
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: Steph is the one guy that will most likely retire

713
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: there he'll be probably the last of the three amigos,

714
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: but it'll be interesting to see if Golden State decides

715
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: to go in another direction. Mike Duneley being that ownership

716
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: over there, have a lot of a lot of figuring

717
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: out to do before we get out of here. Fellas.

718
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: The w NBA season has kicked off. This segment, which

719
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: is crazy, is brought to you by Rose Sparks, long lasting,

720
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: it's fast acting, ed three. Whoever did that is a maniac.

721
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: But Angel Rees and Caitlyn Clark, the beef is reunited.

722
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to see the game because

723
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: I was coaching this weekend, but for what I did see,

724
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: Angreur Rees pushed someone in the back. They didn't call it.

725
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: She got the offensive rebound. Kaitlyn Clark gave her a

726
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: hard take foul. I definitely didn't think it was. I

727
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: think Angel dramatized it a little bit and flailed, but

728
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: then she got up ready for smoke. And now the

729
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: talk is is this does she hate? I don't give

730
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: a shit if they like each other or not, Who cares.

731
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: I think what has grown this game is the storyline

732
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: and the rivalry that started back in college. Dare I

733
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: mention that Kaitlyn Clark came out the game or came

734
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: out with the twenty ten and ten triple double to

735
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: start the season Sparks or fire fellas Angel rees and

736
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark? Is it beef? Is it competitiveness? Does Angel

737
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: not like her? Or does it not even matter because

738
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: it's still good basketball?

739
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 2: Well? I love the ship, you know what I mean.

740
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: When I saw when I saw the ship, man, I

741
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: was like, goddamn, that's what it needs. We need this ship.

742
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 2: But the only thing I didn't like about that ship, man,

743
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: the racism part, you know what I mean. And I

744
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: just I just don't think that ship should be a

745
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 2: part of these girls the girls game and the boys

746
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: get the men game either, And so uh, the fans

747
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: got to do better, man, I mean, because I mean

748
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: the same kind of ship what happened to me. You know,

749
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: got to watch what the fuck you're saying in them stands,

750
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 2: you know, and and then security got to do better too.

751
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: You know, when you when you identify that person, you

752
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: got to go up to that person, You got to

753
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 2: handle that person. You gotta do something about that, you know.

754
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: But I just think that Angelies really don't like this motherfucker, you.

755
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: Know, and that's fine, and that's fine whether she doesn't,

756
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: that's fine, Right, Yeah.

757
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 2: I love that part that about the game. The girls

758
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: game need to have some shit like that in it,

759
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: you know. So I look forward. I mean I can't.

760
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: I think they played like four or five more time.

761
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to it, man. So but it's

762
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: none to that. I think it's just sparks.

763
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.

764
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 4: No, man, I think it's dope.

765
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 3: Man, Like, they have a rivalry that kind of goes back,

766
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 3: you know, to their days that I went LSU, and

767
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 3: they've always been competing against them each other for national championships.

768
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: They've always been you know, first team All Americans. Like

769
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 4: they are rivals on the basketball court.

770
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 3: Right this time it was a little bit switched, right

771
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: because like Caitlyn, I think she got seventeen percent of

772
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 3: all flagrant files were against her last year in the

773
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 3: w NBA.

774
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 1: That's a crazy stuff.

775
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 3: Her to go to the weight room. So her has changed,

776
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 3: her mentality has changed. She's got a better team this year,

777
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 3: and so she took she wasn't on the receiving end.

778
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 4: Of the hard foule. She gave the hard foul, right,

779
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 4: and so like, you know what I mean.

780
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: That to me, that said, like, okay, she coming in

781
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 3: with a different disposition this year, Like right, she ready

782
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 3: for the shit, she ready for the smoke.

783
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 4: So I like to see that. But for every action,

784
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 4: there's a reaction.

785
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 3: Now, one thing we know about that little Barbie from Baltimore, Maryland,

786
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 3: Like she got right, and so she reacted if it

787
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: was Angel Reese, if it was somebody else, she was

788
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 3: gonna react like that because that's how miss Reese conducts

789
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 3: herself on the court.

790
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: She's a junk yard dog.

791
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 3: When you talk about the race element and things like that,

792
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 3: it does come out in situations like that. Because if

793
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 3: Angel Reese would have made that foul on her right,

794
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 3: I mean a different you know, like we wouldn't be

795
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: talking about, you know, the reaction. We'd have been talking

796
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: about the infraction, you know what I mean. And so

797
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 3: like it does play a part in it. That's a

798
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 3: place where you know, society we have to get better.

799
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 3: But for me as a competitor, as a hooper, I

800
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 3: love it because this guys like you and me, Matt,

801
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 3: who loved each other. But if we fouled each other

802
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 3: or whatever, and we work for whatever, like we're gonna

803
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 3: go hug it out afterwards, you know what I mean.

804
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 4: Like it's good for the game.

805
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

806
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 3: Those sisters are playing their heart out, you know what

807
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 3: I mean. They're putting up points. You know, KP is

808
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: putting up points in her new situation and things like that.

809
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: So I love to see, you know, the females getting

810
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 3: that attention for their game.

811
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: It's great for the game. Again, outside of the racism

812
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: and Max, You've told your stories and and and we've

813
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: had I've had incidents in Utah where I've been called

814
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: nigger in Boston, So there's definitely and I think these

815
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: leagues need to do. Yeah, you've been there, A lot

816
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: of guys have been there. I think they needed to

817
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: start doing, like whether it be undercover cops or undercover security,

818
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: just dressed in civilian clothes, sitting in the stands in areas.

819
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: And if you catch these clown ass motherfucker's saying some

820
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: pul racist shit, get them and then it's a lifetime

821
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: band for them and everybody in their family. And put

822
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: their name and face on TV and just make an

823
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: example out of people because for us to ask people.

824
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: Hate will always be in this world and it's very unfortunate,

825
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: but forever us to ask the fans to do better.

826
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen if you have hate in

827
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: your heart at some point with a couple of drinks

828
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 1: in you not that shit is going to come out regardless.

829
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: So we just need to have playing clothes. I'm not

830
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: asking for other fans to snitch. I'm not on that,

831
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: but I'm saying these leads can pit people in the crowd.

832
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: I think in the lower bowl where these athletes are,

833
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: where we're at and ketseys, motherfuckers that are on this

834
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: hateful shit. Because that's the thing that discussed me. The

835
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: flake whether I don't definitely don't think it was a

836
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: flakir foul, but the hard foul and the interaction and

837
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: the reaction I don't care about that. I think that's

838
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: great for the game. The shit has been happened. Women

839
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: are more caddy and been getting in smoke more than

840
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: men do, so this ship has always happened. It just

841
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: happens to be these too young, these two young stars

842
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: in the league. Man. So I'm really again excited for

843
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: this season. I'm really gonna make an asserted effort not

844
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: to just watch the season. I'm gonna get out and

845
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: show my face and get to some games. On the

846
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: flip side, I'm most likely to be going to Sparks games.

847
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: And our girl, Kelsey Plumb, welcome to LA. She came

848
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 1: out and dropped a thirty seven ball in the season

849
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: opener versus the new expansion teams, the Valkyrie out of

850
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: they're playing in Oakland, right or they're playing in San Francisco, Oakland. Okay,

851
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: so yeah, the new Bay Area team, the Valkyrie. Shout

852
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: out our girl Natalie. We went to UCLA with her,

853
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: the head coach over there of the Valkyries. But Kelsey Plump,

854
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: let's not forget she was a bucket in college, a

855
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: twenty five five and five girl at Washington. I think

856
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: she averaged fifteen and six. She's gonna get a chance

857
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: to score this year. You know, the Sparks aren't how

858
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: do we say it. Obviously they got Cameron Brinks back,

859
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: but I still think are a few years away, and

860
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: I think what needs to happen the same way things

861
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: happen in the NBA is obviously our girl Juju is

862
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: recovering for what she needs to recover from. But I

863
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: think in two years something needs to happen where the

864
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: Sparks and get the magic man, get the loaded get

865
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: they need to get the They need to get the

866
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: loaded dice KD. They need to loaded dice, loaded dice

867
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: and get it. Obviously, Barrell went out with the big injury.

868
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: She'll be gone what six to eight weeks. It's gonna

869
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: be some time for this Sparks team. But I definitely

870
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: think the future with the core pieces they have and

871
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: adding someone like a Juju down the line can definitely

872
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: bring Sparks basketball right where it needs to be. Yes

873
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: Au Fellas, I was out in Memphis, tenne Key this

874
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: weekend and ran into a bunch of our brothers from

875
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: Penny to a chem to who else, Bonzie Wells, Chris Paul,

876
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: Raymond Felton, who else. A lot of a lot of

877
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: dads were out there, man, it was great to see everyone.

878
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: We took. We took some on the chin this weekend. Man.

879
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: We lost to Jermaine O'Neil. So we lost to Marcus Spears.

880
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: Shout out my homeboy Barkers Spears over there at ESPN.

881
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: His son is I think top three in the twenty

882
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 1: twenty seventh class. They beat us at the buzzer on

883
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: a bullshit ass call that one of their kids, a

884
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: white boy. He was nice, super athletic, but this kid

885
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: euro step from the three point line without a dribble,

886
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: travel like a motherfucker, and they called a foul at

887
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: the buzzer. He hit one free throw. Uh, and they

888
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: beat us, but we missed fifteen free throws. Max, we

889
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: can't miss fifteen free throws. That that was definitely on us,

890
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: but fucking refs. But we were able to uh, you know,

891
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: two and two. We lost to it. We also lost

892
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: to Jail three John John Lucas's program. Another game we

893
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: didn't shoot well, but we'll definitely be ready.

894
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 2: Uh.

895
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: Next stop is Augusta, right before Peach Jam. But Fellas,

896
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: what do you guys remember best about your AAU journeys? Obviously, Katie,

897
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: we ran into each other in AU, Max, I don't

898
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: even know if they had AU with your old as.

899
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: But what was your uh? What what? What? What do

900
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,160

00:44:58,840 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: thing they put in front of me.

905
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: It was different back then, Max, because again, and not

906
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: to cut you off, like I don't like it, but

907
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: I understand it. These generate all the kids are friends,

908
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 1: and I don't like that shit. Because we were playing

909
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: we didn't know who who was who until we got

910
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: to square up against someone. I already told the story

911
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: where we didn't know who the hell Tracy McGrady was

912
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: and KD he was on that team, Like we had

913
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: no idea who this Florida Flash Team was until they

914
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: beat us by thirty Like that shit was we KD?

915
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: What do you What do you remember most about Au?

916
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 4: You know what?

917
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: I think?

918
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 3: What I remember most is that, like one the first

919
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 3: time I got on the scene and I went to

920
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 3: ABCD camp, is that I realized that, like, boy, I

921
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 3: gotta step my shit up. Well you're hooping down here strong,

922
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 3: like yo, I got the lock in if I want

923
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 3: to get to another level. The second thing I learned

924
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 3: how to do is like compete right and like you know,

925
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 3: bring that dog from Florida to that situation. And then

926
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 3: the gear that we got, the ability to travel. We

927
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 3: met some transformational people like SONNYE. Vicerol, Brett Barrow and

928
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 3: like so many people who you know, imparted good things

929
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 3: into our lives that it was a blessing. But the

930
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 3: friendships and the relationships and the Late Knights talking shit

931
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 3: and the Late Knights playing one and you know what

932
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: I mean, like experiencing things for the first time, Like

933
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 3: just getting that human experience outside of basketball was something

934
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 3: that I like that really sticks with me to this day.

935
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 3: And a lot of those guys we still talk to

936
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 3: this day.

937
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that and I almost get to relive

938
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: it obviously being a coach and seeing these young boys

939
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 1: now and allowing them to have some fun and doing

940
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: shit with them and letting them know, man, enjoy this time.

941
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: I've teamed up with our partner DraftKings to make picks

942
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: all throughout the NBA playoffs. The Conference Finals are finally here,

943
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: kicking off Tuesday night Wolves at Oklahoma City and Wednesday

944
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: Pacers at the next I'm gonna start with the first

945
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: game on Tuesday, Wolves versus Oklahoma City Thunder, and I

946
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: feel Julius Randall will have more points than DK Pick

947
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 1: six hasn't listed at and for the Wednesday game, Pacers

948
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: versus the Knicks. I feel like Pascal Siakn will have

949
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: less points than the Draft Kings. Pick six hasn't listed

950
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: at anyway, Fellas, that's a rap for unplugged man. We
