Yeah, that could be the 46 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: greatest ever given me. Welcome back to what's burning Jack, 47 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Status check Eastern Conference that's just 48 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: starting to find their rhythm when he's seven other last 49 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: tenths and at fourteen and six, LaMarcus Aldrich has been 50 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: turning back the clock, averaging nineteen over his last five. 51 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: Just in Joe Harris ankle surgery out four to eight weeks. 52 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this next team. YEA thought Joe Harris 53 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: was hurt since last year. I ain't seen it. For 54 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs, he was absent, No, he was cast for 55 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: the Ghost and now he's hurt. I hope he get 56 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: back soon, but he wasn't doing that anyway. Um. LaMarcus 57 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: Ardris is big for them, bro. It's big coming back 58 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: after after he said he was gonna retire. But to 59 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: see him back on the court, to see the contribution 60 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: he's given to this team with everything they're going through 61 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: like Joe Harris being out and Kyrie not being there, 62 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: is big for that team and uh and Io. For 63 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: his team to be successful even if Kyrie don't come back, 64 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: he has to continue to play this way. He has 65 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: to go back to his all star phone. I agree, Aldrich. 66 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: I think we've talked about we think Paul Millsap needs 67 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: to step up and Blake Griffin. You know, they kind 68 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: of did the Kers recipe where they got a bunch 69 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: of older free agents, uh for for a good price. 70 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: And I think these guys are just gonna have to 71 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: find the rhythm. Will Kyrie come back? I think that's 72 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: still a question the world is wondering James Harden hopefully 73 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: finding his rhythm of soon. He mentioned that it's it's 74 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: been tough for him trying to really find his rhythm 75 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: and when he's supposed to do what. But I think 76 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: that's something he'll work itself through. Um Again, I think 77 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 1: this team is fine. As long as you've got Kevin 78 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: Durant and you can be healthy when it matters, you're 79 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: always gonna have a shot to win bucks getting healthy 80 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: turning the corner. Since Middleton came back seventh straight, had 81 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: missed the previous eight before that, UH really like this team. 82 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: I think Janice obviously took that step to show the 83 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: world what type of player he is and what's he's about. 84 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: It's good, it's good to have him back, and some 85 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: the fact that he's the big shot maker. He initiates 86 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: the offense and he takes a lot uh pressure of 87 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: Greek free He's the most dominant player in the game. 88 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: He gets all attention. But having Meddles in the court 89 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: makes his team a championship team. Without him, they're not. Yeah, 90 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: he's definitely their closer, and they just signed our brother 91 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: DeMarcus cousins Man, So hoping he gets a chance to 92 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: really kind of find his rhythm. These situations are tricky 93 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: because sometimes they may sign you on a non guaranteeing 94 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: you really not get a chance to do your ship. 95 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: So hopefully they give him a chance to do something, 96 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: because I definitely think he still has something in the tank. 97 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: As of Monday, eleven teams are separated by only four 98 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: games in the East. Obviously, the Nets are at the 99 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: top of that Milwaukee number two, Washington three, Chicago, Milwaukee, Charlotte, Nick's, Atlanta, Cleveland, 100 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: and then Boston and Philly are on the outside looking in. 101 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: And the playing situations right now, this what this East 102 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: is wild, and it's it's really similar to the to 103 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: the West. But let's talk about the East right now, 104 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: Like you can go on a four or five six 105 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: game winning streak and climb from the gutter to a 106 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: top four seed in the Eastern Conference. Yeah, because you 107 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: gotta look at the East. You know, you've got so 108 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: many teams that still don't even know they're for a roster. 109 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: You know, You've got Philly, you got Brooklyn still missing Kyrie, 110 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You've got a lot of 111 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: teams in Chicago just getting guys healthy, Philly having guys 112 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: in and out. You know, So the East is up 113 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: for grabs. I think, you know, you know, Miami, Brooklyn 114 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: and Milwalker should be at the top. But can He's 115 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: got teams like Boston turning around, can Philly turning around? 116 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: Atlanta's in the thick of the things. I don't believe 117 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: the Knicks. I never will. Cleveland hots hots hoes, Cleveland 118 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: in the top eight, like it's the Eastern Conference is crazy. 119 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: Shouting to the coach um in Cleveland for getting these 120 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: guys playing bigger staff Man, Right, that's the name bag 121 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: staff right, Yeah, that's the home that that's the homie. 122 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: But the way the East looks right now, I guarantee you, Matt, 123 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: come April, it will not look like that. And I 124 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: love again with what they're doing in Cleveland and that 125 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: they're playing with the newfound energy and it's without their 126 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: point guard if Colin Sexton, I'm not mistaken, it's still 127 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: out but these guys play hard. Mobile is over there, 128 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: uh in the Rookie b Year conversation. But I really 129 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: obviously Brooklyn is Brooklyn, but I really like that Miami 130 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Washington Chicago that two three four area. Happy for Washington 131 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: Chicago both with revamped rosters out there playing really good basketball. 132 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: Then obviously Miami adding Kyle Lowry and these guys finding 133 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: their rhythm. Uh, this is gonna be dope to watch 134 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: down the stretch. Obviously, you know we've still got sixty 135 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: plus games left in the season, but it's gonna be 136 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: back and forth all season. Um, and it's gonna be 137 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: fun to watch. Now looking at the Western Conference, the 138 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors, these dudes are amazing. Sitting at the 139 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: top of the league at eighteen and two. Steph Curry 140 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: is on some real Steph Curry ship. Probably put to 141 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: me Jack playing the best basketball in his career. And 142 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: that's saying a lot because he's the only United's MVP 143 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: this league has ever seen. And I think he's playing 144 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: the best he's played. Uh. He's at twenty eight point 145 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: four points a game, six point nine and say seven 146 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: assists and uh six rebounds shooting from the three. Uh, 147 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: he is definitely in MVP mode. Um, Clay Thompson and 148 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: James Wiseman, we're sent over to the G League to 149 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: build the greatest G League ever. That Santa Cruz team 150 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: is gonna be jumping for the next week or so. 151 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: So Clay is close. Uh, what do you think about 152 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: this Warrior team? That's what I think about him. Everybody's 153 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: thinking the same way what you just said. We're close 154 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: to having Clay back. We're close to getting out full 155 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: team back. They get Clay and Wiseman back and continue 156 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: to play at the level they're playing at. Man, this 157 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: team is definitely a championship team. I'm not surprised, Like 158 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: like I said, steps picking our way he left off 159 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: last year. He's always been one of the best shooters 160 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: in the game, first to ever hit a thousand threes 161 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: in the season already. Goddamn uh was was still bro 162 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: just this team. They can get healthy with Clay and 163 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: get wising back to the way they posted play. This 164 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: team can win the West easy. Not even It's not 165 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: even a conversation a black people, like it's Clay gonna 166 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: be healthy, what team is gonna be It's not even 167 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: a conversation on where the way stuff playing, if Clay 168 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: come back and why I can come back? This team 169 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: can come out to West. Yeah. I think with or 170 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: without um Clay, this team is a championship team. And 171 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: that's saying a lot because we know what Clay is 172 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: capable of. Um. Him coming back is important. You know, 173 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: he's getting that bug he was. You know, he sat 174 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: on the bench post game with the towel on his 175 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: head like he's been out for two years. So I 176 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: hope he can just come back and you know, walk 177 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: his way back into shape because being out that long 178 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: with the type of injuries he has is scary. Um. 179 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: One thing I want to say about this team, though, 180 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: that is different from other teams in the league, and 181 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: this is probably why they're back on track, is this 182 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: team has kept their core together. I don't I don't 183 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: know if you can name another team you know, there's 184 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: been able to keep their core core together. So even 185 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: when they had, you know, two down years, Drey was 186 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: still there, Steph was in there out being hurt, they 187 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: were able to bring ing love back. Teams don't keep 188 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: their court anymore, and they used to kind of be 189 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: the staple of the NBA back in the day, but 190 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: now that superstars move so much that it's rare for 191 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: a team to keep their court together. And I think 192 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: that's why now when they were able to develop these 193 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: young players the last two years when the team was down, UM, 194 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: shout out Jordan Pool. I think he's going to be 195 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: a star. Um. It's been good to see the development 196 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: of these guys and now they're ready. I think one 197 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: person is gonna be a key for this team on 198 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: both ends of the floor. And I think finally because 199 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: he's always kind of been a what if to me. Um, 200 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, Andrew Wiggins is playing really good basketball offensively 201 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: and defensively. He's someone that could, you know, guard your 202 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: best player, and you know that Clay coming back, he's 203 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: gonna be slow for a little bit. That's normally his role. 204 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: So I love what Wiggins has been able to do. 205 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: He's finally in a great situation with a great you know, uh, 206 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: great team around him in a bunch of events, and uh, 207 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: like you said, Jack, this team is definitely preparing to 208 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: come out of the West next up the hottest team 209 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: that it was crazy to say that. You know, Golden 210 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: State is eighteen and two, but NIX is one six 211 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: team straight and they're sitting one game behind Golden State. 212 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: UM as of Monday, Booker three straight thirty point games 213 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: on the road, him and CP are doing with him 214 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: and CP, do UM talk to me about this Phoenix team? Well, 215 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: with me, I think this finished finishing me still from 216 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: like they have something to prove, you know a lot 217 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: of people and it's just it's just the facts. Every 218 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: team they played last year in the playoffs had one 219 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: of they start players injured. So they feel like they're 220 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: not getting the respect that they deserve. And uh, and 221 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: that's a that's a right of way to look at it. 222 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: I think they still have something to prove. And when 223 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: you play like that, it's it shows right now that 224 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: the way they're playing right now that they have something 225 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: to prove and they want to let you out know 226 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: that we didn't make it to the Western Conference finals. 227 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: On accident. We are we are we are. We are 228 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: that team, and we're here to show it again this year, 229 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: and they're getting off to a great start. I have 230 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: one agree, and I was one of those people that 231 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: kind of doubted them for the reasons you said earlier. 232 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: I thought they had you know, obviously getting there is 233 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: still tough, but I felt like it just laid out perfect. 234 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: And I love when I'm wrong about stuff like this, 235 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: Like Phoenix is a legit contender this season. Um, you know, 236 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: they're getting healthy with Aidan back, JaVale McGee has been 237 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: playing great. Shout out JaVale McGee stepped up big when 238 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: Aiden was down. Uh, but CP has been able to 239 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: turn back the clock. Man. CP is still in you know, 240 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: normally you don't find point guards his age still able 241 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: to do what he does and and and really run 242 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: a team. And he's been doing a great job of that. 243 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: And you know, we already know Devin Booker is one 244 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: of the best players in the league. So shout out Phoenix. 245 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: A couple of big injuries in the Western Conference. Jack 246 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: Jah sprain knee will be out a few weeks. Glad 247 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't because I saw that when it first happened 248 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: before they knew what happened, and it wasn't like a 249 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: non contact. I'm just like, oh, ship, those non contacts 250 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: are the dangerous one. Um. He's been having a breakout 251 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: season at nearly twenty five points of games, seven assists, 252 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: and uh about five and a half rebounds a game. Obviously, 253 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: the team had to play without him last year and 254 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: kind of stayed afloat. Talk to me about this Memphis 255 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: Grizzly team and how important Jow is to this team. Yeah, 256 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: I mean, as far as he go, they go, they 257 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: go no world without John. I think, Um, the best 258 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: thing about about the injury is we hasn't we haven't 259 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: heard it is serious. We haven't heard that he needs 260 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: uh season ended surgery or nothing like that. So it's 261 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: just a sprain. We've all sprayed down, kneeds we and 262 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: and it falls into that area of ten de nitis 263 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: where you can't really move it. It's just real tender 264 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: ice it. He'll be back. It's nothing serious. So um, 265 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: I think that's that they need to just hold onto 266 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: that and hold on to the positive because they know 267 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: the season is is for nothing without John Moran. Yeah, 268 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean this team has and again Thankfully it's not 269 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: a major injury. But this I like this team. Man, 270 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: They're young, they play hard. Brooke Jackson, you know, Kyle 271 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: Anderson Bane they play hard over there, and they play 272 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: a certain way. And I know that that that that 273 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: Memphis City appreciates the way they played. Man. So definitely 274 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: looking forward to him getting healthy and back on the court. Unfortunately, 275 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: Michael porter Um possibly having or he's having back surgery. 276 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: They haven't given a time to but back surgery normally 277 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: means you're gonna be out for the remainder of the season. Uh. 278 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: He just signed his five year extension the kicks in 279 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: next season, so this was always the what if with him. 280 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: You know, he had back problems coming in. Uh he 281 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: was able to battle through those and and and show 282 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: flashes of of how amazing can be awarded with the 283 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: max extension. Uh, now he's going back under the knife. 284 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: How does Denver approach this situation? And what do they 285 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: do now that they're down him? And uh Murray, Uh, 286 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: they have ship creep. I mean this this this is 287 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: this is the same guy who dropped in the draft 288 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: a couple of places because of the same back injury. 289 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: Because they was worried about his back, and he missed 290 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: the beginning. He missed the beginning of his rookie career 291 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: because of his back. So this is this is not 292 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: nothing that that's that's not serious, you know what I mean? 293 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: This He almost stopped playing because it is so too 294 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: I honestly, just my personal opinion, I don't think he 295 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: proved enough to get that five year extensions. Yeah, he 296 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: played well in the playoffs a little bit, but he 297 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: didn't prove enough to get that five year extension. And 298 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: he didn't prove he was durable enough to because you know, 299 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: when you when you give a guy that much money, 300 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the ball a lot. You need to 301 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: be on the court, and I didn't see that in 302 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: him from the jump. I'm sending pass to him that 303 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: he gets well on the surgey and success, but I 304 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: kind of had a feeling that this guy wasn't endurable 305 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: enough to be a player, especially the money making. I 306 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: agree with half of your uh statement there um As 307 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: far as flashes and talent, I thought he was a 308 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: max guy, and I knew because I've been following him 309 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: for a while through high school and everything. I questioned 310 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: the durability you know, anytime back because one of those 311 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: things you can't funk with, like you can't back is 312 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: to me, probably the worst injury, maybe even worse than needs, 313 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: because you know back is can't walk with a bad back. 314 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: So I agree, And that's what scares me. And and 315 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: and once you start getting involved with nerves, and you 316 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: know that's what I'm hearing, that's you know, some have 317 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: to do some nerves as well. It's just an unfortunate situation, man. 318 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: So definitely praying for m Hope to leave this surgery. Um, 319 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: we'll get him into a position where he could return 320 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: next year, and and and and keep hoooping because again 321 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: this kid is six nine, six ten, can shoot, can jump, 322 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: can dribble, can do everything, man, So we definitely want 323 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: to see him back on the court. Next up on 324 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: the Radar, presented you by DraftKings Man, we get a 325 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: treat this week. The Warriors and the Sons, the team 326 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: with the two best records, play Tuesday and Friday Western 327 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: Conference Finals. Odds Draft King has the Warriors at three 328 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: to one odds and the Suns at five and a 329 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: half to one odds. Jack, is it too early to 330 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: think that we're seeing the Western Conference Finals this week. 331 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: Way too early, way too early. We know how injuries 332 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: playing part in the season. We know how some teams 333 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: can turn their team around. We know how one trade 334 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: can turn the team around so many aspects in the 335 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: season that that could be a big that it's too early. 336 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: We've both been a part of this league for a 337 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: long time. We know the dynamics and making the season 338 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: successful and making the season unsuccessful, and you have so 339 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: much time for all those things to come into place. 340 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: So it's hard to say right now. I completely agree. 341 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: And I think as players, we know we never looked 342 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: at it, even like if you were on the top 343 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: team playing another top team early in the season, we 344 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: were never like, oh is this We're going to see 345 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: them and the It was never really liked that for players. Um, 346 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: it's more just you know, to me, it's more outside 347 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: media stirring up, you know, trying to get more eyeballs 348 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: on the game. But what I will say is I'm 349 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: just excited to see these two teams play period. Uh. 350 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: You know, Phoenix with sixteen straight Warriors at eighteen and two, Uh, 351 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be some good basketball anytime. Stephan cp Link, 352 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a battle. But forecasting the future, Um, 353 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: if we do see this in the Western Conference finals, 354 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: Stephan cleft, fully health healthy, Stephan Clay backcourt, fully healthy, 355 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: CP three, and Devin Booker backcourt. What backcourt are you taking? 356 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: Just backcourts alone. I'm going with Steph and Clay because 357 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: you got you got two of the best shows of 358 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: the Dame that you got. Even book is one of 359 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: the best shows in the game too, So I'll go 360 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: with Stephans before I go with CP book. Yeah, I 361 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: mean I would agree with you, but it's you know, 362 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: CP and book are definitely, you know, getting their recognition 363 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: as one of the best best backcourts in the game. 364 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: But you know, you gotta go with the old, faithful Javille. 365 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: I think JaVale McGee is gonna be the the fact 366 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, he's big. I love the way 367 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: he's been able to do what he does next up 368 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: securing the bag buy money line. Uh, Spencer did when 369 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: he is an interesting dude. I never got a chance 370 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: to meet him, but I've always heard from Afar just 371 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: a creative way he's been structuring his contracts. Uh. He 372 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: got a three year, fifty four million dollar deal from 373 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: the Wizards in one of the craziest signing trades ever. 374 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: But he has these incentives where he gets one one 375 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: and a half million if he plays fifty or more games, 376 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: so coming off an injury, um, A hundred k if 377 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: the Wizards make the second round, five hundred and seventy 378 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: one thousand if the Wizards make the Eastern Conference Finals, 379 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: in another four hundred thousand if the Wizards make it 380 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: to the finals, and only one dollar if they win 381 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: the finals. So he has a bunch of these weird 382 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: incentives in his contract. But you remember when he was 383 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: with the Nets, he got paid in bitcoin. Um, this 384 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: dude is definitely money oriented and thinking about you know, 385 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: just the future, in the in the way we should 386 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: receive money. What are your thoughts about the way he 387 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: does his creative contracts. Some mother is just too smart, 388 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like like like he too smart, 389 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: Like I listen scowdos to him. I wish, I wish 390 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: I was just smart to him. But bro, you've got 391 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: too much time on your hand, all right? I do 392 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: you funk with you? I love a kind I love 393 00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: with you the way you play, and I love it 394 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: you overcame the injury and came back. But bro, you 395 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: got too much time with your hand. Yeah, that could 396 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: be the greatest you ever given me. But one thing 397 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: outside of his creative contracts and you're amazing answer. He's 398 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: fitting well over there. He's right at up right under 399 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,959 Speaker 1: fifteen points a game. So definitely bounced back from his injury. 400 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: Now he's solid Madden. When he was in Brooklyn, you know, 401 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: he was a big part of Brooklyn successful. He got hurt. 402 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: He belonged in this league and he gonna dominate, and 403 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: he overcame an injury. That that gives other people who's 404 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: going through stuff like that the motivation to get out 405 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: of it and to still be successful. He's doing that. 406 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: This guy before he got hurt, no telling where his 407 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: career would have been and no telling what role will 408 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: have on what team right now because he was one 409 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: of those players like this kid can run the team. 410 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: He could be the star of the team. But to 411 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: bounce back from this injury and the way Washington is 412 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: plan right now being one of the top teams in 413 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: the East, it says a lot to him. Yeah, I 414 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: mean he's healthy now, he's secured the bag. Now he's 415 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: getting paid creatively. But most importantly, he's putting. He's putting, 416 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: He's doing what he's supposed to do on the court, 417 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: and that's what's most important because all this other ship 418 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't matter if he wasn't playing well. And he's been 419 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: able to come you back, like for an injury, like 420 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: you said, and play well and help his team be 421 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: a top four team in the Eastern Conference.

Good question. 452 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: Who wins a seven game series? Fully healthy?

The first 459 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: The first thing people would say is we they have 460 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: Steph but healthy Baron Davis who can guard to motherfucker's 461 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: don't know Bed was playing defense to full court. They'll 462 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: pick you up. And I think we would have gave 463 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: We would have had to put stuff on the ground 464 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: a couple of times though, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, 465 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: we were me like we were a mean team.

I think obviously shout out 498 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: to our vets because that's how that's who used to 499 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: kind of show us the ropes. But it wasn't really 500 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: no talk about saving, investing and all this other ship 501 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: and how to you know, eating healthy, like, none of 502 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: that was talked about it. It's crazy because it wasn't 503 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: really that long ago, but you know, it was twenty 504 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: years ago. So um, if we came in now knowing, 505 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, how to invest our money, we can turn 506 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: our money into bitcoin, and we need to eat healthy 507 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: and do this, and we didn't do none of that 508 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: ship and still lasted fourteen years and did well on 509 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: both sides. So uh, would I give myself any advice? No, man, 510 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: I would just I would say stay out of trouble. 511 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: But outside of that, I liked, you know, I was, 512 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: I was learning on the fly. Well, my answer probably 513 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with basketball. I wouldn't. I wouldn't 514 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: told myself, don't be such as a fucking rock star, 515 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: John be such a don't be Yeah, I was a 516 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: rock star, like I was living the rappers life in 517 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: the NBA. You know what I'm saying I was. I was. 518 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: Actually I was doing shows on the road, like I 519 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: was doing a whole bunch stuff that didn't have nothing 520 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: to do with basketball. So I would tell my younger self, 521 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: don't be so much of a rock star. I know, 522 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: I know it's hard for me to accept that because 523 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: I am one, But I would have told myself, don't 524 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: be a rock star, just chill out and play basketball. 525 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: Me knowing you, the way I know you, the way 526 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: I look at you, you put your life. You was 527 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: a rock star than a gang banger than an NBA player. Accurate, 528 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,479 Speaker 1: very accurate, very accurate. Third, basketball was third on your 529 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: list if you still did a great job at it, 530 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: but the other two were the priority for you. Ship last, 531 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: and you still did it good. You mustage the other 532 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: two things great ship I trained underscored thirty two. Do 533 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: you like the rule change in the flow of the 534 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: game this season? Uh? Not really, I don't. I don't 535 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: like the rule that they put in this probably don't 536 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: think I like. I don't like the rule they put 537 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: in for James Harden just because James Harden's smart enough 538 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: to get your arms locked in every time you reach 539 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: when you drive. That's a skill, don't take don't take 540 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: that away from him, because a lot of players aregatint 541 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: stupid files by using their hands and not sliding their feet. 542 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: So that's the only thing I hate. They James Harden 543 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: was exploiting the league and exploiting a lot of defensive 544 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 1: players not been able to move they feel and use 545 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: their hands. And now that it took that away from him, 546 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: And I don't think that was fat, bro, I think 547 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 1: it's affecting this game. Definitely affected his game. But I'm 548 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: on the other side, I love it because, you know, 549 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: having to guard him. I used to hate when I 550 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: was playing good defense and he was somehow get my 551 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: hand wrapped up in this fucking armpit. I'm like, bro, 552 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: I wasn't even near your artfit. How's my my motherfucking 553 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: handing your armpit right now? So I like that, to 554 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: be honest with you, because but again, great skill. He 555 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: found out a way that he was a cheak code. 556 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: He found out a way to get this dude was 557 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: getting fifteen to twenty free throws every single night, and 558 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: with him not getting that now is is part of 559 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: the reason why I feel like he's struggling. He has 560 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: to kind of just go back to because he's always 561 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: been a great player. He's gonna figure that out. He's 562 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: always one of the best scores we've ever seen. But 563 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: he had manipulated the game so much that he knew 564 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: he was gonna get fifteen. Could you imagine every night 565 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: knowing he's gonna get fifteen to twenty just from the 566 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: free throw line? Bro crazy, insane? But yes, I like 567 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: the flow of the game. Um, you know, they get 568 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: to be a little bit more physical now they're not 569 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: calling these these these weird wrap wrap up foul. So 570 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: definitely the flow of the game is better. Next fan 571 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: question at Chris Booze the Nawski should Ki? Should the 572 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: Keys try to be built around the arean ox is 573 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: trading for a young talented big slash draft picks or 574 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: have da beyond tyrese backcourt duo? This is a good 575 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 1: question for me because you know I'm over there working now. Um, 576 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: you wouldn't know. Dearra Fox is a great young talent 577 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: who scores the ball well. Um, but I think he 578 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: la or when he needs to learn how to do 579 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: is be a leader. He's the best player on the team, 580 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: but he's not necessarily the leader. And I think that's 581 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: what that team lacks. And then another thing I feel 582 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: like that would put him to the next level. I 583 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: still think it's coming, is being able to set his 584 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: teammates up because he's not a very good creator for teammates. 585 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: And you know, we're in a such a shooting league 586 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: now that uh, you know, you need a point guard 587 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: that could do both and he could definitely score. He's 588 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: starting to find his rhythm this season. UM, So I 589 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: don't know. I wouldn't say that he is a franchise player, 590 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: so to speak. And I say that with all due 591 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: respect because I really like his game. I think he 592 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: would be if if they were able to get a 593 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: true number one, I think he would be a great too. Um. 594 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: They got a lot of talent though, with Davion Davion 595 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: Mitchell and and Tyrese Halibert in their backcourt. Um, and 596 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: they probably are the future of the team. Um. But 597 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: right now, I like dearon Fox. But uh, you know, 598 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: I went in and I went in on I feel 599 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: like King's management needs to do a better job of 600 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: putting talent um uh in that small market because you know, 601 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: they just fired Luke Walton. You know you're a big 602 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: fan of Luke, but it's gonna be a revolving door 603 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: that that that seat in Sacramento is gonna keep turning 604 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: over until they put some some some real talent out there. 605 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: So that's my take. Next up, Middy Smitty Underscore Hooper fifteen. 606 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: If the NBA were to introduce a new award that 607 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: recognized a tough, scrappy players like yourselves, p J. Tucker, 608 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: Pat Bev, et cetera, what would call that award? Um, 609 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: good question. I probably would call it Hustle Player Award. 610 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: Hustle Player. That's that's the Hustle Award, the hustle a war. 611 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: That's a really a that's an NBA term. I was 612 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: gonna say something like the Gutter Award, Yeah, the grinder, 613 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: But I like you at the Hustle Award. I like 614 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,479 Speaker 1: that they can actually they might be able to use 615 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: that jack the Hustle Award. Mm hmm. We would have 616 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: definitely got a couple of hustle awards. That's one world 617 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: I Noah could have won. Are they can call it 618 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: the Tony Allen Award, ronad Tess Awards, something like that. 619 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: They ain't gonna name the award after the real nigger. No, no, 620 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: because because if that's gave Vernon Maxwell, I one man 621 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: yearning Maxwell as long as partner. In closing. Congratulations to 622 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant on passing Alan Iverson for twenty five all 623 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: time on the scoring lead. Next up is ray Allen 624 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: Patrick ewing your West, Reggie Miller, and then Alice English 625 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: to get the twenty. Uh. Jack Katie has been a 626 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: hell of a scorers whole career. When it's said and done, 627 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: where do you feel like he'll be in on the 628 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: scoring list? Shout out to Senim Reaper. That's when our 629 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: real brothers, they ain't just somebody we're cool with anybody. 630 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: That's when our real brothers. He had part of the fraternity, 631 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: to the real Shout out to the snipe. Um. I 632 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: think he'd finished top ten, if not top five, if 633 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: he stay healthy. If he would have missed the time 634 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: he missed, he would have been closer than that. Um. 635 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: He's he's he's most of one of the most efficient 636 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: players we've seen. He's guaranteed the average with he's averaging 637 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,719 Speaker 1: now every year. If he stay healthy, I see him 638 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: top five, top ten. Yeah, I agreed. I definitely think 639 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: he'll reach that top five, because what is the early thirties. 640 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: He's still gotta He's still got a good five years. 641 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: And the great thing about him is his game not 642 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: based on athleticism, you know what I mean. So he's 643 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: six eleven doing all that ship. So even when he's 644 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: not as athletic as he is now, he'll still be 645 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: able to do what he does because it's it's footwork 646 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: and it's the length and getting to his shots. So 647 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a problem. You got still got Katie 648 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: on your hands for another good run man, Next stuff. 649 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: John Wall has met with the Houston Rockets. He wants 650 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: to return to playing. You know, he's million over the 651 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: next two They try to trade him. No one's taken 652 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: that contract. Uh. The Rockets want him to play a 653 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: secondary role on this team, a come more of a 654 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: complimentary role. H What do you think? Um, how do 655 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: you think that's gonna work out? I don't know. John 656 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: Wall is my brother as well, but my cousin is 657 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: the coach of the team, Steven Silas. But I think 658 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: they need to send him to a team like Philly 659 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: as somewhere else. But I think the younger, the young 660 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: guys they got, they need to start developing them. We 661 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: know what John Wall is, we know what the player 662 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: he is. He's still one of the best point guards 663 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: in the league. But I think he needs to be 664 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: on the team that has a chance to win the 665 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: championship now to get the best out of his last 666 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: couple of years because he's been so injured. You know, 667 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: I I don't think that's gonna work. I think it's 668 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a point where he's overshadowed young guys that 669 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: they want to see growth and it's not gonna it's 670 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: not gonna turn into winning, and it's gonna become a problem. Yeah, 671 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I still think John Wall is a lot 672 00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: of good years left. Um, you know, for him to 673 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: bounced back off the injuries he had, averaging twenty game 674 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: when he was playing last year. But I don't know 675 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: if Houston is a spot. But then again, no one's 676 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: gonna take that two years ninety plus a million dollar contracts. 677 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be interesting because if he is 678 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: gonna play, it's gonna have to be in Houston for 679 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: a little while. And like you said, now it's time 680 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: to develop the young talent on that team. So really 681 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: see how this plays out. But let me say this, 682 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: though Ben Simmons for for John Walt, Ben Simmons can 683 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: become can go there, be with the younger guys and 684 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: play a better position than the point guard. He can 685 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: pay a power forward and be a you know, a facilitator, 686 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: and and and and in the contracts, you know, so 687 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: it's ways to get around. I just don't see you 688 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: know that working with John wat But I would love 689 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,479 Speaker 1: to see h Philly next up. Shout out Boogie Cousins. 690 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: Son's a non guaranteed deal to add some depth to 691 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. Uh thoughts on this the lostate toughness 692 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: with p J. Tucker. They need to get that toughness back. 693 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: Boogiees that guy. Obviously he's not on the wing with it, 694 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: but the toughness, that respect he has and him being 695 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: on the court, it's gonna it's gonna make Greek more confident, 696 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: and it's gonna take a little pressure from having Book 697 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: on the people don't know. The last couple of last 698 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: year we've seen Book in the playoffs. He was carrying 699 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: the Clippers for a couple of games against the Clippers. 700 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: I mean, excuse me, gets the finish signs They just 701 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: didn't play him that much. He played well in the 702 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: playoffs last year and showed he still had a lot 703 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: in the tank. Hoping he gets the opportunity to play 704 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: there and give this team some good minutes. I'm happy 705 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: for Buggy Man, but it just it hurts my soul 706 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: to think about how his his his his career has 707 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: kind of detoured because his first what seven years, he 708 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: was the best big man in the game, better than 709 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: Joel and be don't get no one says no one 710 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: was doing what book he was doing, point triple doubles, 711 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: point point center. He was mean, he was nasty. I 712 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: love Boogies game. And then he's one hustle play away 713 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: from signing a two million dollar extension and tears his achilles. 714 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: I was at that game, man, and then just starts 715 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 1: bouncing and then gets then tears a qua and comes 716 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: back in record time for the Warriors and then tears 717 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: the a c L. I'm just like god Dad, this 718 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 1: dude was on pace to be and hopefully he'll still 719 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: make it. But first about Hall of Famer man and 720 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: and be predominant, perdominant, you know, dominant big in the game, 721 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: and you know with joking with all due respected Joker 722 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: and in b they weren't as good as Boogie. Um, 723 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: so just fucked up. Always praying for him, happy for him. 724 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: I hope again, like I said earlier, hope he really 725 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,439 Speaker 1: gets a chance though, you know, I mean, don't sign 726 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: him and have him sitting there, you know, let him 727 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: get to get his feet wet, learned the offense, and 728 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: then give him some time to really, you know, show 729 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: that he can help the team, because I hate when 730 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: situations like this happened, where he'll get signed to a 731 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: ten day or whatever the funk deal they're gonna give 732 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: him and then not really give him a chance and 733 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 1: cut him because then not now another team that that 734 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: will probably be his last chance. Another team is not 735 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: gonna give him a chance after that. So I hope 736 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: you give him a chance to play and shout out 737 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: my bro Boogie. And no big man has had the 738 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: bag that Boogie had on the court, but a chem 739 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: Elijah on it was no big mag crossing over between 740 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: his legs. Alijuan was the only one to do that. 741 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: Boogie was the second coming of that and he was mean. 742 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: It was Shock and Kim Elajuan combined for seven years 743 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: and then he moved out to the he moved out 744 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 1: to the perimeter to for some Rashid Wilace and this ship, 745 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: like Boogie was his motherfucker man. And what I loved 746 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: about it he was mean and they just don't have 747 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: them type of players no more.
