Speaker 1: just a second, but the Lakers go on the road
Speaker 1: and take a commanding three to ozer lead. Thanks to
Speaker 1: a one to twelve, one eight OT victory over the
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets. Lebron James played forty five minutes and he
Speaker 1: had twenty nine points, thirteen rebound, six assists. Forty one
Speaker 1: year old Lebron it's the oldest player in NBA history
Speaker 1: to lead his team in scoring in a playoffs passing
Speaker 1: just three days ago. He let his team and score it.
Speaker 1: So now this is the second time Marcus mart was
Speaker 1: sensational down the stretch, hit to hit the big free
Speaker 1: throws three and then made an unbelievable He was great tonight,
Speaker 1: two playoff games in a row in which he's had
Speaker 1: five steals. He had twenty one points, ten assists, five steals.
Speaker 1: Rui had twenty two points. He was four or seven.
Speaker 1: He started out scorching hot. Luke Canard cooled down just
Speaker 1: a little. He was only one or six from the three,
Speaker 1: but he had fourteen points. But Jackson Hayes gave you
Speaker 1: gave us twelve points on five of eight shooting two
Speaker 1: a three from the free throw line, and for rebounds
Speaker 1: in two big blocks. Joe. This game right here almost
Speaker 1: got away from the Lakers because they let the Houston
Speaker 1: Rockets out physical them in the third quarter and in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and it almost got away from him. Man,
Speaker 1: Lakers should have lost this game. Dumb players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hey, look, look and Lebron turning, having
Speaker 2: two turnovers crucial in the game and walking back on defense. Boy,
Speaker 2: if they lost this, I would have been on him tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah you saw.
Speaker 1: You saw that too, right, yeah, I see it turned
Speaker 1: it over and Shane Goon beat them down in the court.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think the Lakers got lucky, man, But
Speaker 1: it's just inexperience of the Rockets Unk and Ojo. Man,
Speaker 1: they don't know how to close out no game, bro,
Speaker 1: they I mean some of the turnovers and Rockets having
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, I'm like, bro, with the lead,
Speaker 1: just hold onto the ball, Joe, they throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: Remember that got Duke in trouble? Did you not learn
Speaker 1: anything from Duke trying to throw them all ahead when
Speaker 1: they get picked off and then tape? Why would you file?
Speaker 1: Marcus mart I just wanted to don't tell me why.
Speaker 1: I don't know who sucker was it in the sinker
Speaker 1: Back Street boys? Tell me why? I don't know? Right right?
Speaker 2: Hey, this was a debacle I'm talking about for the
Speaker 2: Houston Rockets.
Speaker 1: They weren't supposed to lose this game. Bro Listen.
Speaker 2: They had them put their stem down, you know, me
Speaker 2: and they big guns. They had some guys who stepped
Speaker 2: up and played big. I thought sing Goon had his
Speaker 2: best game of the series. And it just seemed like
Speaker 2: they the Lakers was tired in the second half, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's like the Rockets had the
Speaker 2: momentum and then man I beat dog On. When they
Speaker 2: come crunch time, they just don't know how to close. Man,
Speaker 2: they did not know how to close the game unkan Ojo.
Speaker 1: They didn't. Maybe they got tired. If you look at
Speaker 1: their start, I mean Smith played forty four minutes, Easton
Speaker 1: played forty six minutes, Shingoon forty seven minutes, Thompson forty
Speaker 1: eight minutes, Shepherd forty six minutes, and they got they
Speaker 1: really got no contribution from their bench. They only got
Speaker 1: three points from their bench, where the Lakers. The Lakers
Speaker 1: got fourteen nineteen twenty four from their bench. Yeah, only
Speaker 1: two guys. Well, you know, they had Lebron. I think
Speaker 1: the thing with Lebron was on fuse. That's why he
Speaker 1: was walking back. He was spent. Yeah, see died down
Speaker 1: on the floor of that lose ball and just stayed
Speaker 1: out there. He wasn't hurt. To say, thanking lo Lebron
Speaker 1: was hurt. He wasn't hurt. He was just gas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: think about it. Those are forty one year old legs
Speaker 1: playing forty five playoff minutes intent. It's not how it
Speaker 1: was meant to be. Oh, Joe, what did you think
Speaker 1: about this game?
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, just like a piggyback off you with
Speaker 4: you and Joe said the goddamn the Rockers should have
Speaker 4: won this game, but I'm gonna give credit to the
Speaker 4: goddamn Lakers. They took advantage of the Rockers mistakes. Goddamn
Speaker 4: Shingoon had a really, really good game. The players for
Speaker 4: the Rockets, they filled in with Kevin Durant not playing.
Speaker 4: They did as much as they could do, but they
Speaker 4: goddamn ay DeAndre Aiden gonna hurt the Lakers. Later on,
Speaker 4: you heard him liud, Hey, hey, DeAndre I'm just saying, listen,
Speaker 4: without without Kevin Durant, the Lakers are gonna They're gonna
Speaker 4: win this series. But DeAndre Aiden is gonna have to
Speaker 4: step up and realize it's the goddamn playoffs. If he
Speaker 4: has some hands on he could take my hands. He
Speaker 4: could take my hands. You know, I'm not sure what's
Speaker 4: wrong with him. I'm not sure what's wrong with him.
Speaker 4: But we had this conversation before. We have it over
Speaker 4: and over and over again. He's gonna come to a
Speaker 4: point where they're gonna need DeAndre Aiden to step up
Speaker 4: and make his presence felt on the office end and
Speaker 4: the defense end. Outside of that, Lebron obviously doing what
Speaker 4: he're doing. Regards I'm gonna forget him being forty one.
Speaker 4: This is what we expected him, Uncle Joe. We expect
Speaker 4: him to do this. The fact that he's still playing,
Speaker 4: probably being the only one who's played this goddamn long.
Speaker 4: We expected Lukelenard. He was on ice a little bit tonight,
Speaker 4: he was on but Marcus smart.
Speaker 3: Stepped up big time. He stepped a big time for somebody.
Speaker 4: That plays on both ends of the court, Joe, he
Speaker 4: gonna sit in that goddamn chill and play defense.
Speaker 3: And what he gave you offensively was fucking for I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Was awesome. Yeah right, you're right. O Jo.
Speaker 2: Hey look, uncle, I don't know how you feel, but
Speaker 2: I love Marcus Smart Man you're talking about. I know
Speaker 2: he scored twenty one points, but it ain't it's necess
Speaker 2: It ain't necessarily the points that he put up because
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of things that he brings
Speaker 2: to the team, it doesn't show up in the stat sheet.
Speaker 2: O yo, meaning just playing hard, being consistent, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, knocking down shots, but just causing havoc defensively,
Speaker 2: bro with no KD on the floor tonight, they supposed
Speaker 2: to put these boys away.
Speaker 1: They came out in the third quarter like they always do.
Speaker 1: If you notice, Joe, they always like the first five
Speaker 1: minutes or the third quarter. They played some terrible basketball
Speaker 1: they do, and the thing was is that Houston wasn't
Speaker 1: able to capitalize on it. Suston just got young guys.
Speaker 1: They don't really know how to don't understand basketball. They
Speaker 1: just be standing around just watching. Thompson says, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go now. Shint Goon said, well, I'm gonna take me.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to read shap friend. I mean, they
Speaker 1: just make they make too the mistakes that you can't
Speaker 1: make in those type of situations. You can't read ship,
Speaker 1: cannot get the ball poked out from behind, you cannot
Speaker 1: try to throw the ball cross court, up court and
Speaker 1: get it picked off. I mean, thinking about it. You
Speaker 1: got a six point lead. The only thing could hurt you.
Speaker 1: Make him file, you, make them file you. They want
Speaker 1: to file you. Yeah, throw it up, it gets picked off.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell de Jon Tate was thinking.
Speaker 1: Why in God's green Earth would you file that man
Speaker 1: on the free Okay, you file him and then guess what,
Speaker 1: Ree Shepherd. I don't know why you didn't want to
Speaker 1: go to the free throw line. But we saw because
Speaker 1: the bull drive tech on Marcus mart when he didn't
Speaker 1: even touch Thompson. Thompson flopped. He didn't touch it ball,
Speaker 1: don't lie he clanked it. But anyway, Lebron punches the
Speaker 1: ball out. Hey, y'all still say Lebron ain't clutch? They
Speaker 1: had he miss that? I told you he clutch X,
Speaker 1: Y and Z is better. Now what I couldn't get nothing.
Speaker 1: I was trying to get some engagement on Twitter, Joe, Joe,
Speaker 1: I couldn't get in nothing.
Speaker 3: They weren't talking to you than.
Speaker 1: You and I know what you wanted to say, because
Speaker 1: they would have said, had Lebron lost this game, ain't
Speaker 1: no way X Y and Z would have lost this
Speaker 1: game if the team's best player wouldn't play it. But
Speaker 1: you won't get to say that whatever you beause they
Speaker 1: were about to hit singing. Yeah, yeah, they had to
Speaker 1: raise that, raise it, RaSE it. Well, yeah, I'm on that.
Speaker 1: I'm on that. I'm on that pote tonight. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he got say. Anything I say will not be held
Speaker 1: against me. I do not have the right to remain solid.
Speaker 1: I do not have the right to an attorney if
Speaker 1: one can if I can't afford one, which I can't currently.
Speaker 2: And that was the inexperience of the Rockets tonight, fellas
Speaker 2: I mean right, I mean you, I mean a many
Speaker 2: left on the clock on you you what they was
Speaker 2: up about like six five?
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe yet, Joe, they're up six with under
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. Yeah, it just turned on. What you got
Speaker 1: to do is just hold on to the ball, make
Speaker 1: them come file. You make free throws, even if you
Speaker 1: go one of them, if you go one or two,
Speaker 1: you make two free throws. Ball game over. That's why
Speaker 1: I add.
Speaker 2: You know, they young inexperienced team, that Houston guy with
Speaker 2: our KD with without Van Fleet, without the big guy yeah,
Speaker 2: what's his name?
Speaker 1: Steven Adams?
Speaker 2: Like when you when your veterans are missing it, Bro,
Speaker 2: you leaning on these young dudes. They will find a
Speaker 2: way to lose a game. Bro, they will find a way.
Speaker 2: They found a way to lose to night your life.
Speaker 2: I mean, bro, you're gonna lose sleep behind thistle, you will.
Speaker 3: Hey, Joe, that pressure, Joe, that that pressure.
Speaker 4: You know they say the regular season, You know that
Speaker 4: that that pressure get to your you know, I want
Speaker 4: to I don't want to say the word, but.
Speaker 3: It gets tight.
Speaker 4: And when it gets tight, you make mistakes, costly mistakes
Speaker 4: that you normally wouldn't make, especially in the regular season game.
Speaker 3: But they no pressure on you.
Speaker 2: I mean, reed, Sheppard just ain't no point, ain't gud bro. No,
Speaker 2: he's not shooter. And if he ain't making shots on
Speaker 2: him why he he.
Speaker 1: Is hard And the dudes they're looking to put him
Speaker 1: in the pick and roll because when they tied the
Speaker 1: game up, what did the Lakers do? They wouldn't put
Speaker 1: Marcus mart down on the block. They said, okay, go
Speaker 1: at it. Yeah, they the Lakers.
Speaker 2: The Lakers did themselves a favor of the night because well,
Speaker 2: Brun playing forty five minutes. Man, he Hey, look, if
Speaker 2: I'm the Lakers, man, I want to go and close
Speaker 2: these dudes out.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm going back to I'm going back
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles. Haven't swept.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I'm just getting ready to ask you to
Speaker 4: if if if this is if this is the.
Speaker 3: Gentleman's shimmer coming out west where the Lakers have.
Speaker 1: We got to be what they turned? Yeah, the corner
Speaker 1: we got, we pulling that out?
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, hey, uncle Joe. Who the Lakers got to
Speaker 4: play next?
Speaker 1: Okay? See bro oh ship, but they they they potentially
Speaker 1: get Austin Reeves back, and they'll be playing without their
Speaker 1: number two guys, Jaylen Williams, ja cross that bridge when
Speaker 1: we get there. We gotta worry about we gotta worry
Speaker 1: about these Now, this is what we know will come
Speaker 1: back from three oh. The teams are that's ever gotten
Speaker 1: to a three oh lead. It's one fifty nine and
Speaker 1: oh now, eventually somebody's gonna break that record. Somebody's gonna lose.
Speaker 1: I just hope it's not the Lakers, just like no
Speaker 1: team had ever come back from three to one in
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals and then what happened?
Speaker 2: Joe, Yeah, Brun they did the impossible. But but you know, uh,
Speaker 2: Lakers can't I mean not the Lakers. Rockets can't come
Speaker 2: back and winning this series. It's not It's not possible.
Speaker 2: I don't see. I can't see Brun letting that happen.
Speaker 2: But not only that, I think the guys around them,
Speaker 2: you know, they're If they don't get Game four, I
Speaker 2: think they'll definitely win Game five for sure. I just
Speaker 2: think that the Rockets too inexperienced.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: I mean they they played great at home. They played
Speaker 2: pretty good at home. They got some decent numbers across
Speaker 2: the board. But on the road they ain't gonna be
Speaker 2: able to compete. And I don't know the significance of
Speaker 2: Durant's injury, but Shady going.
Speaker 1: To piece about they don't appreciate you. They be talking crazy,
Speaker 1: they be talking reckless. They'll be they don't appreciate you.
Speaker 1: See KD. KD wants to play unselfish basketball. See KD
Speaker 1: worked iurishes when you pass the ball. Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: look at him, I understand. But if you play selfish basketball,
Speaker 1: that doesn't work for KD. It doesn't. He wants to
Speaker 1: play a a pass the ball. That's how he is, hey,
Speaker 1: as great a score as he is, as efficient as
Speaker 1: he is. If somebody has a better shot than Kevin Durant,
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant to get it, give it up. He ain't
Speaker 1: one of them guys. Man, I ain't shot the ball
Speaker 1: in five six minutes. Let me take a shot here. No,
Speaker 1: somebody else got it going, keep it going. But I
Speaker 1: think he flustered too. On think because the Lakers won't
Speaker 1: let him play. They're not gonna let him play it.
Speaker 1: They ain't gonna let him get into his bag. O jo, Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: every time we see you.
Speaker 2: About to go into your little ice, so we send
Speaker 2: it in that extra extra man.
Speaker 1: So I think he's.
Speaker 2: Been frustrated this this entire series, especially.
Speaker 1: The games that he's played.
Speaker 2: But sitting over there watching Bro, I know he was, oh, man, yeah, hey.
Speaker 4: But you know what, I think the Rockets gonna get
Speaker 4: a game because you know, you know, you know, the
Speaker 4: people gotta pay bills.
Speaker 1: Now. We can't.
Speaker 3: We can't, we can't let that.
Speaker 1: It looked like they were trying to let it happen
Speaker 1: to Night on Joe. They tried to get it because
Speaker 1: they weren't calling nothing. And then they started calling ticketed
Speaker 1: up on the Lakers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you you know what I'm saying. Bill's
Speaker 3: got to be paid.
Speaker 1: But at some point you gotta play in the look.
Speaker 1: You know early on how they're gonna call the game.
Speaker 1: You can't let that get you out of your game
Speaker 1: because I thought that. I thought the Lakers started looking
Speaker 1: for the files and they weren't getting them called, and
Speaker 1: it started impacting them. Now all of a sudden, they
Speaker 1: looking for the call, and the Lakers and the Rockets
Speaker 1: going up the court, and then the Lakers and the
Speaker 1: Rockets on the other end they were getting calls that
Speaker 1: Lake and said we'll call that on the other end.
Speaker 1: And it started and it started to get flustered. And
Speaker 1: that's what you can't have in a situation like this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand it is. It is frustrating when you think
Speaker 1: you got filed on the other end and then all
Speaker 1: ticket tag stuff get called on their end and you
Speaker 1: feel in some type of way about it, But you
Speaker 1: got to play. Ain't nobody gonna say, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're filed on twenty three. You know what, Lebron, since
Speaker 1: you complained about it, we're gonna take that file away.
Speaker 1: Play on no file it doesn't work like that, so
Speaker 1: you might as well go ahead and play and just
Speaker 1: say hey, just to lert their official with the next
Speaker 1: dad ball. And you missed that one down there. Now
Speaker 1: there you go. You missed that one, because hey, you
Speaker 1: owe me one, Zach or you're one, Josh, you owe
Speaker 1: me one. You know whoever the you know, Courtney Current,
Speaker 1: Clyn and Sean Wright, Tony Brothers, whatever the case, Capers,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, you owe me. You let
Speaker 1: what you let one slip away? Yeah, okay, fun, you
Speaker 1: keep playing.
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, and then when you think about it, the
Speaker 2: Rockets man, Hey, hey, they gotta get something from their bench.
Speaker 2: I know he threw I know he threw Finnish Smith
Speaker 2: in there for a minute. But Finnish Smith he couldn't
Speaker 2: make no shots, so you had to go and get
Speaker 2: him out of the game.
Speaker 1: But it's hard, Ojo.
Speaker 2: And if you ain't played our series, and now you
Speaker 2: just threw me in this fine game three and now
Speaker 2: you need me to make some shots.
Speaker 1: That's tough, bro. Did Yon take they look at a
Speaker 1: that movie Juice, how they looked at two Pat looked
Speaker 1: at that boy at the locker. That's how they're looking
Speaker 1: at him. He came me there, He carved me there
Speaker 1: through the ball away and then guess what, Eddy gave
Speaker 1: up a gap of a file on the three.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Doka was looking at him like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: He was pissed. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: Hey, it's hard. You got the man coming off the bench, right, Joe.
Speaker 4: He ain't took a knee, took no shots, he ain't
Speaker 4: really played, he didn't.
Speaker 1: Want to take a shot. He left his brain on
Speaker 1: the bitch too. He brought his body in the game,
Speaker 1: left his brains on the damn bench. Hey.
Speaker 2: But on another note, Ojo, you know you know that's
Speaker 2: part of the game. That's part of being a professional, bro. Yes,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean. Like you got you
Speaker 1: know your role.
Speaker 2: You know, by the time I come off this being,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna probably be a little cold, but I gotta
Speaker 2: get myself going.
Speaker 1: The team need me, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: All you gotta do is be consistent, bro, and don't
Speaker 2: do no bone head plays.
Speaker 1: They just make.
Speaker 2: Man, I'm talking about with the last minute of the game. Bro,
Speaker 2: I'm like, these dudes trying to lose. They trying to lose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah it, you know, Joe, I think the Fagels
Speaker 1: would unless and the Lakers had the best in clutch
Speaker 1: situation win percentage in the NBA this year. Obviously you
Speaker 1: have Lebron, Obviously you have Luca. You have guys that
Speaker 1: have been in that moment, and you got two of
Speaker 1: the great handling the basketball. Even Austin Reeves have played
Speaker 1: a lot of clutch situations and lebar And made big
Speaker 1: time plays. But when you have guys that haven't been
Speaker 1: in those situations, and now you don't have a calming
Speaker 1: factor as in Kevin Durant, now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of healter skelter it. Look, look if
Speaker 1: they wanted you, if you go back and look at
Speaker 1: shingon his offhand, he hooked every time you go to
Speaker 1: the basket. He does this every time. Oh you was watching,
Speaker 1: but they didn't call it. He did it like three
Speaker 1: times in a row.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, look, renf ain't gonna see everything, man, he
Speaker 2: gonna you know. So, So that's why when you have
Speaker 2: guys who are great defenders, like a market smart, you're
Speaker 2: able to get away with some of that stuff, you know,
Speaker 2: the little ticket tag stuff that reff can't call everything. Man,
Speaker 2: he gonna call. He ain't gonna call everything. You feel me? So, hey, look,
Speaker 2: I like to see. I like to see that the
Speaker 2: Lakers fall back to win this game, because at one point,
Speaker 2: Uncle o Joe, it seemed like the Lakers had kind
Speaker 2: of gave up too. Yeah, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: they got I think that I think that, you know what,
Speaker 2: we got a two one lead, blah blah blah, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, they like, hold.
Speaker 3: On, gonna give it.
Speaker 1: Y'all don't want to win this game. Hey, they don't
Speaker 1: want to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, hey, because your Bari turned it over. I said, damn,
Speaker 2: what are he throwing him the ball? Just hold it?
Speaker 2: He jumped it over. They come down, they get a bucket.
Speaker 2: They seen, you know, Brun slapped the bottle from reed
Speaker 2: Shepherd from behind.
Speaker 1: He pumped fake shoot the three. I said, I bet
Speaker 1: dang gone. Yes.
Speaker 2: What So when they went to overtime, I'm thinking, I'm saying,
Speaker 2: if I'm the Lakers, if I'm Brun, I'm say, ain't
Speaker 2: no where in hell we're gonna lose this game tonight.
Speaker 1: You gotta win this one. They gave us a second
Speaker 1: chan We're finna get on their ass to night. Hey,
Speaker 1: but hey, if you notice to jump ball Lebron and
Speaker 1: he get the same thing. They pulled, they pull They
Speaker 1: pulled with the right and tapped with the left, and
Speaker 1: officials missed it. Yeah, both times, both times. You're right,
Speaker 1: you're right.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, them them people, them people will play is
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, having possession of the ball at those
Speaker 2: point in times. Yeah, the ref miss that because guess what,
Speaker 2: because guess even even if we don't score the other year,
Speaker 2: we're gonna run time up the clock.
Speaker 1: There you go, we running tib up the clock. There
Speaker 1: you go. And then Mark is smart, big shot three
Speaker 1: and over the corner. Yeah, yeah, and free throws, made
Speaker 1: his free throws. I thought I thought he was sensational
Speaker 1: down the stretch. He got off to a little shaky start,
Speaker 1: but I thought he was great down the stretch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was turnovers and he's looking like, hey, shin't ghol. Look,
Speaker 1: shin't gul was like pass he was playing the passing lanes.
Speaker 1: He does a great job of old playing. Yeah, did
Speaker 1: a great job of old player. Lebron ate turnover. That's
Speaker 1: that's what acceptable. You can't have more turnovers than a
Speaker 1: sist he had eight turnover six and sis almost cost him,
Speaker 1: almost cost him.
Speaker 2: And you know what, man Bron throw a lot of
Speaker 2: he throw a lot of lack of daisical passes he does.
Speaker 2: He almost got another one mark in the corner him
Speaker 2: almost my ass. He turned it over at the end
Speaker 2: when he was taking the ball out throw it trying
Speaker 2: to throw it to Luca nar But.
Speaker 1: He threw another one to Marcus smart than the corner.
Speaker 1: And dude like to pick that when they scored.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so I don't know if that's I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's fatigue sitting in and he just was
Speaker 2: a little tired.
Speaker 3: But Joe, you're tired.
Speaker 4: Now you're tired. You know how good of a pass
Speaker 4: that Lebron is. You know how good of a facilitator
Speaker 4: he is, especially listen what we talk about, one of one,
Speaker 4: one of the closest things, one of the closest players
Speaker 4: when it comes to not want to be a shoot
Speaker 4: a shoot first.
Speaker 3: Type of player.
Speaker 4: He's really good at passing the ball. But he tied
Speaker 4: out there. Hey, and we tired for team make a
Speaker 4: fool of.
Speaker 2: Oh, I understand that. But he knows the significance of
Speaker 2: this game, you know, what I mean. I mean every
Speaker 2: game that that man play, every point that he scores,
Speaker 2: it goes down in history. Bro, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like he Hey, look, he know they gonna scrutinize him
Speaker 2: on a on a whole totally different level. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he gonna get scrutinized on a totally different level. So uh, hey, man,
Speaker 2: kudos to the Lakers. Bro, the Rockets, it is old. Well,
Speaker 2: it's over for them. I can't see them winning Game
Speaker 2: four and going back there.
Speaker 1: I can't see that. I'm just keep it real good.
Speaker 1: Uh hey, you see Bronny getting there. Bronnie hit the three? Hey,
Speaker 1: lob Dad, Hey damn, Hey, damn pheed me with the left,
Speaker 1: finished with the left, hard man under Browny earning his stripes. Yeah, hey, look,
Speaker 1: I don't think people really, I know I've talked about
Speaker 1: this before, but I think that's such a cool moment, Bro,
Speaker 1: to be able to play on the same NBA team
Speaker 1: as your son. I'm talking about y'all in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: playing pivotal minutes. He coming in, you know, he he
Speaker 1: was a nice little spark off the bench today.
Speaker 2: I thought he I thought he gave him some great minutes.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed watching that, bro I enjoyed watching that, seriously, And.
Speaker 3: It's so funny the situation.
Speaker 4: A lot of people look at it, they complain, they
Speaker 4: make noise. Oh, he's only in the lead because because
Speaker 4: of who his dad is. But if you were to
Speaker 4: write a movie with a great story, story script, it
Speaker 4: would be something like this life. Yeah, this is something
Speaker 4: Hollywood would make.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 4: You know, And the fact that it's come to fruition
Speaker 4: for Lebron is a testament just I mean, not not
Speaker 4: only as as a father man, but don't I don't
Speaker 4: think you understand how difficult that is to be able to.
Speaker 3: Play with your son.
Speaker 4: Hey, I think Lebrony was what when when Lebron got drafted,
Speaker 4: I mean got drafted Lebron.
Speaker 1: I mean bron wasn't even born. Ronny wasn't born. What
Speaker 1: you mean he was at home? I think when he
Speaker 1: got when Brody was drafted, Now when he got when
Speaker 1: when Lebron got drafted, I think Bronnie was born. I
Speaker 1: think he was. He ain't twenty three, Rob brittle Lee
Speaker 1: probably like twenty twenty one, tops Lebron He was born
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four. Oh, okay, Oh that's okay.
Speaker 1: Ron Caber League in June twenty two thousand and three.
Speaker 3: I mean, but that's still crazy, though.
Speaker 4: It's crazy for Lebron to still be playing and now
Speaker 4: actually playing with your son.
Speaker 1: He's playing, Oh Joe, look at the level and he's
Speaker 1: still playing that he's still averaged. Lebron James has never
Speaker 1: had a season in which he didn't average at least
Speaker 1: twenty points, at least five rebounds, at least five or sist.
Speaker 1: The record is tinging. The next closest to it is
Speaker 1: Tinging of twenty five and five. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, and you know, and you know, the Lakers
Speaker 2: knew that when they was drafting Brnnie, they knew this
Speaker 2: was gonna be a fairy tale story, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, to to have Lebron on the Lakers playing
Speaker 2: with his son.
Speaker 1: They knew this was he talking about, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? So but look I get it, and everybody, look,
Speaker 1: no matter what, it's just we gotta stop thinking our community,
Speaker 1: us stop thinking nepotism is bad because they do it
Speaker 1: all the time and don't think second Hello, they do
Speaker 1: it in politics. We gotta stop thinking that nepotism is
Speaker 1: bad us. They do it, and they do it in
Speaker 1: all they sports. They do it in basketball, they do
Speaker 1: it in football, but only us. He only did that
Speaker 1: because his dad. They do that all the time. Front
Speaker 1: off is littered with family members. Yeah, coaching staff littered
Speaker 1: with family members. Hey don't but us. And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we jump out there, we jump out there.
Speaker 1: Oh no, like I said, I wish my kids wanted
Speaker 1: to be in media. I watched they wanted to be
Speaker 1: in TV because you damn right, they got a job
Speaker 1: and they moveing to the front of the line. And
Speaker 1: if you don't like it, start you a company in
Speaker 1: high your family. Yeah, but we gotta stop this.
Speaker 4: They ain't gonna stop complaining on that. That's always been
Speaker 4: us in general.
Speaker 1: Damn he fled. Well, he's getting better and better. Y'all
Speaker 1: realize the man almost died. They had to resuscitated and
Speaker 1: they brought him back. Yeah. Yeah, he's two years removed
Speaker 1: from that two.
Speaker 2: And here he is playing at the highest levels, playing
Speaker 2: on the biggest stage.
Speaker 1: Stop judging him. He's never gonna I tell you what,
Speaker 1: tell you like here, if he said, okay, y'all judging
Speaker 1: him against Lebron name five players better than Lebron in
Speaker 1: the history of the game. But you think it's offspring
Speaker 1: gonna be him. I think bad Bond Son is gonna
Speaker 1: be him. Y'all think Emmy Smith's Sun is gonna be him.
Speaker 1: Jared right Son? Y'all think Tom? Y'all ask me fake
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I'll pay Mad and Son it's gonna be
Speaker 1: the equivalent of those guys.
Speaker 2: Y'all really believe that, huh don't happen like that happened
Speaker 2: every hold on the closest we got.
Speaker 3: Well, hell, maybe Griffy was better than this.
Speaker 1: It was, and Barry was better than him, Dad, Bobby
Speaker 1: and Bobby bars was a damn good player. So was
Speaker 1: Griffy sor but they weren't their sons. Archie Manning was
Speaker 1: a damn good quarterback. He was Peyton And that's okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't know, you don't normally get I mean, come on, now,
Speaker 1: you think God gonna give you that say, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna give. I'm gonna give you, and you
Speaker 1: know what, I might not make you. I might not
Speaker 1: make you Lebron, but I'm gonna let you be at
Speaker 1: one point in time when you're in the NBA, you
Speaker 1: will be a top ten player. Come on, where did
Speaker 1: we see that? Tennis? It doesn't matter. You go look
Speaker 1: at any sport. Maybe the closest, the closest you got
Speaker 1: into it. Maybe the whole Bretton body. Yeah, maybe that's
Speaker 1: the closer you got. Because I like both of those
Speaker 1: guys are in the Hall of Fame. That might have
Speaker 1: been the closest you got into it.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: But no, no, damn. But it's unbelievable. It was unbelievable. Hey,
Speaker 1: like you said, hey he hit that three, he said, dance,
Speaker 1: he said, dance. Shit that pick for your boy, Sit
Speaker 1: that pick for your boy. And then he read down
Speaker 1: the court.
Speaker 2: Got a yeah, I wish I wish you'd just like,
Speaker 2: I'm on the real right right, they gonna they're gonna
Speaker 2: have eight moments. They gonna have another crank Appea.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like JJ throwing Brunnie out there, you know, for
Speaker 2: for for a few minutes, and I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: it gives him confidence to walking Oho, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, because he played He played pretty good today
Speaker 2: in the nine minutes that he played five points. I
Speaker 2: just think when you're a young player, you get to
Speaker 2: see the ball go through the hoop, bro, It gives
Speaker 2: you confidence you need. You got to see that ball
Speaker 2: go through the hoop.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: They had you playing hard on defense, and then you
Speaker 2: you really really feel like you belong.
Speaker 1: You feel me. And when you think about it, Joe,
Speaker 1: the matter of fact that they put me in the
Speaker 1: playoff game, that they trust me enough, and a game
Speaker 1: of this significance, that they're willing to put my ass
Speaker 1: in the game, that tells you something right there. In
Speaker 1: a game like this, of this magnitude, This ain't a
Speaker 1: regular season game. This is a playoff your your actual
Speaker 1: season can end if you don't take care of business.
Speaker 1: And they trust him enough. Yeah, they gave him five minutes. Hey,
Speaker 1: they gave him nine minutes, he got nine minutes. Had
Speaker 1: five points to it too, one to one from the
Speaker 1: three plus four in a little nine minutes he got Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey man, it was This was a good game.
Speaker 2: This was a good game, fellas. And I just I
Speaker 2: don't see Houston having enough to be able to get
Speaker 2: out this hole that they in.
Speaker 1: It's a rapper. You can't kd come back. They can
Speaker 1: get a game in Houston, They might get it. When
Speaker 1: you expect lebron James to be Josh Fike, Brownie to
Speaker 1: be Jason Tatum. Well, I think I think due to A.
Speaker 2: R and Luca being out here, they got they ain't
Speaker 2: got no choice but to play them. They gotta they
Speaker 2: gotta give give, give the mother guys at least a
Speaker 2: little break, so they gotta.
Speaker 1: Throw them in there spurts.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Bronnie or Katie talking about Bronnie,
Speaker 2: I'm talking about brown yea, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. But I'm saying people look at
Speaker 1: because a lot of time it's automatic. They judge our
Speaker 1: kids through us. Hey, your son or your dad would
Speaker 1: have made that shot. Yeah, oh, your dad or your
Speaker 1: dad would have hit that. Hey would have caught that.
Speaker 1: Your dad, Oh, your dadd read that right? Your dad
Speaker 1: have got that. I say, your dad play. So everything
Speaker 1: that your son does, they compare. They don't compare against
Speaker 1: people that he's playing against. They compare him against you.
Speaker 1: Y'all do realize that we played at the highest level.
Speaker 1: I mean to compare fifteen, sixteen seventeen, a teenage kid
Speaker 1: two of their dad that played in the professional ranks,
Speaker 1: and the stimuli is different. Joe didn't have oh, Joe
Speaker 1: didn't have shellon, didn't have. We went without. They have,
Speaker 1: they have. They got three, they got seven bathroom, they
Speaker 1: got seven bedroom, eight bathroom, they got three, four car garagers.
Speaker 1: They get meals catered, they get to go to camps. Yallo, Hello,
Speaker 1: the stimuli is different. You heard my brother say, if
Speaker 1: we looked out the window and we saw two different things,
Speaker 1: we looked at the same window, but we saw two
Speaker 1: different things, right right, they aren't looking out the window
Speaker 1: that we looked out of. The window we looked out
Speaker 1: of was very small. It was probably broken out.
Speaker 3: Hold on and it had hold on. It had balls
Speaker 3: on it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, in those circumstances, that's how you get a dog.
Speaker 2: See now, these kids growing up in these huge mansions,
Speaker 2: and they don't know what the struggle is, so you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. They they don't understand the sacrifices
Speaker 2: our parents and grandparents had to make just for us
Speaker 2: to even play the game.
Speaker 1: Bro. I mean, yeah, it was hard to get shoes. Joe,
Speaker 1: I get the twenty five dollars for them shoes. Ojoe.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, Ojoe, my mam waa, let the light bill,
Speaker 2: the gas bill not be paid, and she'll go buy
Speaker 2: me some shoes. You feel what I'm saying, So let's
Speaker 2: go it out for like a week. Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 2: I know what you're talking about. So it's it's it's
Speaker 2: it's different. But congratulations, Brian, and just keep doing what
Speaker 2: you're doing. Just keep improving your game. And I know,
Speaker 2: hey the comparisons, don't even worry about it. Just go
Speaker 2: do your thing.
Speaker 1: But then the Laker of them had to win this game,
Speaker 1: Joe and Ojo, like I said, they had, they had
Speaker 1: the lead, had this game in control, and they lost
Speaker 1: it in the third quarter.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And in the fourth quarter, they let the physicality of
Speaker 1: Houston really start to bother start to bother them. I
Speaker 1: think some of the non calls really started to bother them.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you find that you
Speaker 1: find yourself down. And I think, all right, Joe, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think they have resigned to the
Speaker 1: fact we had lost this game. But he used to say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, let us smatch defeat from the jaws
Speaker 1: of victory. Here you go, take me roll.
Speaker 3: You can, you can have it.
Speaker 1: That's why it kind of reminded you, like you remember
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Excuse me, Miami, when they played San Antonio.
Speaker 1: That game is supposed to be over. Are you doing
Speaker 1: making free throws when when you talking about in games?
Speaker 1: In game six when the Lakers, when when Reality hit
Speaker 1: that shot? Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, all you gotta do
Speaker 1: it to make your free throws.
Speaker 2: Boy, that was a tough shot. Rey Allity made those
Speaker 2: back in that corner.
Speaker 3: And that's that. That was.
Speaker 4: That was in Miami to and when all when all
Speaker 4: the fans was leaving.
Speaker 3: Up yeah, uh, and they tried to get back.
Speaker 2: Okay, took Duncan out the game, took dunk it out.
Speaker 2: He took Duncan out and Bosh got that rebound and
Speaker 2: kicked it out to Ray Allen.
Speaker 1: They never gave because Danny Green tried to snowbird, he
Speaker 1: tried to get he tried to leak out and Reality
Speaker 1: hit that shot. Yeah yeah, hell of a game, Hell
Speaker 1: of a game. That's why you got a go ahead
Speaker 1: Joe in the postseason, Bro, you gotta be a little
Speaker 1: lucky too. Not only you gotta be good, but you
Speaker 1: gotta be a little lucky too. And tonight was one
Speaker 1: of them nights for the Lakers. Boy, I know they
Speaker 1: they gonna sleep good tonight. The second team. Lakers became
Speaker 1: the second team in postseason history to win a playoff
Speaker 1: game trailing by six points in the final seconds of
Speaker 1: regulation in the last thirty postseasons. That's how impressive what
Speaker 1: they did. Browny by himself out scored the whole Rockets bench.
Speaker 3: He did he do?
Speaker 1: If Bronnie, if Bronnie doesn't belong in the NBA, what
Speaker 1: do you think about those other guys that's on the
Speaker 1: bench for the Houston Rockets? Do they belong? Man? They play?
Speaker 1: If one guy played eleven minutes and one guy played
Speaker 1: eight minutes, one guy had one point and the other
Speaker 1: guy had two points.
Speaker 2: Hey, but it just goes to show you that he
Speaker 2: maya doka. He has no faith in his bench I'm
Speaker 2: talking about at all. You know, he threw doing He
Speaker 2: threw Finnish Smith out there for eleven minutes. But hell,
Speaker 2: he couldn't hit nath Than out there. You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like he just they got no contribution. You
Speaker 2: playing your start in five everybody playing at least forty
Speaker 2: five minutes.
Speaker 3: The whole shit damn near the whole game.
Speaker 1: You gotta expect that come playoff time. You gotta look
Speaker 1: this play somewhere between thirty eight and forty two minutes
Speaker 1: in the game. Now, if you go overtime, that could
Speaker 1: be forty five, that could be forty seven, or whatever
Speaker 1: the case may be. But you know that you could
Speaker 1: have probably played a lot of times. Teams play, Okay,
Speaker 1: the best player play the whole first quarter, and then
Speaker 1: they take the first five six minutes of the second quarter,
Speaker 1: and then they played the whole third, and then they
Speaker 1: take the first five and six minutes and it all
Speaker 1: depends if you down by three or four eight, Come
Speaker 1: on back. I'm sorry, bro, I can't get your rest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because Lebron Lebron, I think played the entire fourth quarter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hell he had to. He had you, same thing that
Speaker 1: he did in La on Tuesday night. Yeah, so you
Speaker 1: understand that that you're gonna have to play up. The
Speaker 1: minutes are gonna get up because the game bear more significant.
Speaker 1: Houston kicking themselves, Oh my god, I mean think about it.
Speaker 1: Six points. You gave up a six point lead in
Speaker 1: thirty seconds and you know what, Joe, you ain't even
Speaker 1: get a shot at I mean, you only got one
Speaker 1: shot in the basket. It was a four shot shing
Speaker 1: goon that did they forced shing Goon on the sideline.
Speaker 1: Lebron got that. Bron got the rebound all time out
Speaker 1: and had one point nine and he almost he almost
Speaker 1: zeroed that one. He but it had been over theyd
Speaker 1: been sick. It might have been seen to hit that
Speaker 1: walk off three good night.
Speaker 2: I read he Hey, oh, Joey Brown would have hit
Speaker 2: that walk off three. You know is uh you got
Speaker 2: MJ with game winners. He got nine, myself, Kobe and
Speaker 2: Lebron we had eight, so they would have put him
Speaker 2: with MJ.
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna Joe, Joe, Hey, Joe, how many games.
Speaker 1: When you is in some light you feel what I'm saying?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, some light you feel me.
Speaker 4: I got to go back and do my homework on that.
Speaker 4: And now I've been studying your game, you know, in
Speaker 4: open play. I ain't really study you know what you
Speaker 4: hear on no buzz.
Speaker 1: Bill man, come on, what rock you been under? Hey?
Speaker 4: I ain't been under the rock, Joe. I've been studying you, though, Joe,
Speaker 4: I missed that. I've been studying your mannerism of your movements.
Speaker 4: You know, what you like to do, you know, depending
Speaker 4: on what side of the court you on which way,
Speaker 4: which way you.
Speaker 1: Like to move?
Speaker 2: Hey, you can't study me, oh Joe. I keep you
Speaker 2: off balanced, I keep even kill you feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You don't know what I'm high, low partner, you feel
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I mean, I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 4: But I kind of got got a gist of what
Speaker 4: you like to do, Joe, based off the film that
Speaker 4: I've studied so far.
Speaker 1: Joe, ain't gonna get it. Ain't gonna get it.
Speaker 4: I'm all right, Joe, I'm gonna telling you, Joe, I'm
Speaker 4: just leating you low and you with that PoID though I.
Speaker 1: Could tell you that, oh Joe. In twenty nineteen, kd
Speaker 1: towards Achilles Tendon in the finals. In twenty twenty, he
Speaker 1: missed the entire NBA season. In twenty twenty one, he
Speaker 1: went scoreless in overtime against the Bucks. Twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: he got swept in the first round by the Celtics.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three, was traded the Phoenix lost in the
Speaker 1: second round to Denver twenty twenty fourth, swept in the
Speaker 1: first round by Minnesota twenty twenty five. Traded the Houston
Speaker 1: lost game seven, Round one to the Warriors and got
Speaker 1: hurt again in game one. Well, well he got his
Speaker 1: own damn teammate heard it before he even stepped over
Speaker 1: the damn court. And then he kind of tweaked his ankle,
Speaker 1: look like you going there and try to grab a rebound,
Speaker 1: and Flord might have been a little slick the in
Speaker 1: game out on him. Damn kd can't catch a break man,
Speaker 1: can't catch a break man, He can't catch a break
Speaker 1: he Hey, them hard filing dudes, they got older. I
Speaker 1: can see.
Speaker 2: I can say that probably was Tate who took him
Speaker 2: out in practice.
Speaker 1: Hey, come on, Joe, so how are we gonna look
Speaker 1: you know the saying Joe, how are we gonna look
Speaker 1: at Kad because we know he's gonna be when this
Speaker 1: song said done. I think me just looking at it,
Speaker 1: He's the only guy that I feel really comfortable that
Speaker 1: still has a realistic chance to catch Lebron for the
Speaker 1: simple fact he don't put a lot of stress on
Speaker 1: his body with the way that he plays. He played
Speaker 1: seventy eight games this year, averaging about twenty five and
Speaker 1: a half points a game twenty six points a game,
Speaker 1: So if he plays another six season, theoretically he could
Speaker 1: catch it playing at that same pace. I was assuming, huh,
Speaker 1: he hold.
Speaker 4: On, catch him, catch catch him, and will be a
Speaker 4: little bit more specific on what you mean he can
Speaker 4: catch him exactly what er.
Speaker 1: He ain't catching him? Man?
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, first off, now, I think he could play
Speaker 2: at a high level, but due to him being somewhat
Speaker 2: injury prone. Yes, it's what is it? Thirty seven?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he about to be thirty eight. Yeah, you talking
Speaker 1: about another six years, man, that he gonna be well
Speaker 1: into his forties.
Speaker 2: I know we see Bron playing well into his forties
Speaker 2: forty one.
Speaker 1: But thirty eight this year, yeah, but that's off season.
Speaker 1: He'll be thirty eight. That's rare, man, that's rare. That's
Speaker 1: rare for him.
Speaker 2: For you to say, for him to play another six
Speaker 2: years and play at this extremely high level, that's gonna
Speaker 2: be tough, idiots, but you I'm a suit. That's assuming
Speaker 2: Lebron calls it the career after this. I can see
Speaker 2: Lebron playing enough. I can see Lebron getting the forty
Speaker 2: five thousand points.
Speaker 1: Man, let me tell y'all something.
Speaker 2: Bron may never say it, but he gonna try to
Speaker 2: put this thing out of reach.
Speaker 1: Absolutely that's what he tried to do. Yeah, yeah, well, hold.
Speaker 3: On out of reach, it's out of rea I'm saying
Speaker 3: about Kareem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm saying, but he's got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saying he's still playing, and he's still playing
Speaker 2: at a high level. Man, that man ain't finna start
Speaker 2: playing no time soon. He coming back for at least
Speaker 2: another two maybe three years.
Speaker 1: Bro, You see what he's doing in the playoffs, he said,
Speaker 1: y'all thought of hold on, where that crowd that says
Speaker 1: I'm old? Where's that crowd that says I can't do it?
Speaker 1: All I know is I'm leading a team. I'm averaging
Speaker 1: twenty five points, probably seven rebounds, probably seven, eight or six,
Speaker 1: and I'm leading my team. So I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: figure out where is that crowd? Now? Y'all saw when
Speaker 1: Luca and Ar went out and I had to be
Speaker 1: the lead dog. I'm and the idea to Rod, you
Speaker 1: have a lead dog, elite it is. Think about it.
Speaker 1: When you have a lead dog, they never put him
Speaker 1: in once he can't lead anymore, they put him in
Speaker 1: the pin. Yeah. Yeah, Lebron James is one of the
Speaker 1: few guys that's been the lead dog for twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two and a half years because when Luca came, he
Speaker 1: took a back seating to Luca. Now this year, he
Speaker 1: took a back seat not only the Luca, but Ar also.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but he said, now, look y'all, look, if
Speaker 1: I really had to do this, y'all, don't think I
Speaker 1: could leave a can? Yeah? Yeah aa.
Speaker 2: And I think he's relish in this moment too, un O,
Speaker 2: Joe Mini, He's he's enjoying this. He's enjoying playing point
Speaker 2: forward to where he can make guys around him better
Speaker 2: score when need be. And the fact that nobody gave
Speaker 2: the Lakers a chance in this series because of Aar
Speaker 2: and Luca being out. Everybody thought they was gonna lose
Speaker 2: this series. Hell, some people even talking about them getting swept.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know what I mean. Hey, so for them.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be shocked, though, Joe. Would you be
Speaker 1: shocked if KD got forty thousand? He's at thirty eight.
Speaker 1: He's at thirty two thousand right now? Could you see
Speaker 1: him playing another four years? KD? I can see him
Speaker 1: glass the other four years. Yeah. I think he. I
Speaker 1: think he. I think he can get Kareem. I think
Speaker 1: he get past Kareem. Now, whether or not he get forty,
Speaker 1: we can have that discussion. But do I see him
Speaker 1: getting another passing Kareem and getting thirty eight five, thirty
Speaker 1: eight eight, maybe thirty nine thousand? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Did you say he had thirty two? Now he had
Speaker 2: thirty two? Now, Yeah, he can he can get to
Speaker 2: he can get to thirty eight thirty. It's just tough, man,
Speaker 2: It's it's tough, bro. I think he can do it though.
Speaker 2: I think he can do it, but he ain't gonna
Speaker 2: pans Lebron after the game, I mean a.
Speaker 1: Doka gave a blood assessment of the team's late game collapse, said,
Speaker 1: youth and inexperience is no longer an excuse. Most of
Speaker 1: my guys been on the floor late have four or
Speaker 1: five years experience. Dooka said guys were instructed to do
Speaker 1: certain things in the final seconds and they just didn't
Speaker 1: do them. Hey, I haven't let y'all do that. I
Speaker 1: let y'all talk about eight these guys last four five.
Speaker 1: They got four five years of experience under their belt,
Speaker 1: and they've been in situated, maybe not postseason experience like
Speaker 1: this late the ball game. But oh Joe, come on now, Joe,
Speaker 1: you know, damn well, you don't throw the ball ahead
Speaker 1: like you just saw Duke losing that lose a chance
Speaker 1: to go to the National Championship game with the very play.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, trying to throw the head. But but you
Speaker 1: know what that thing the problem is, Joe, is that
Speaker 1: like we just hold them to the ball. Bro, I
Speaker 1: definitely don't want to go get filed and go to
Speaker 1: the free throw lot of knees knocking, Joe, I don't
Speaker 1: want that joke. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: Hey, look it may don't want to blame it on
Speaker 2: the youth, but hell, that's what it is. You got
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, twenty two year olds out there leading
Speaker 2: your team, Bro.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they.
Speaker 2: Played in the playoffs in the postseason before, but it
Speaker 2: hadn't been at this magnitude. Fellas, they don't have that
Speaker 2: veteran presence who can help them along the way. Meaning,
Speaker 2: can you imagine if Fred van Fleet was out there,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't let them does turn the ball over here?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you know what I mean. Even if.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even if KD was out there, he'd probably been
Speaker 2: handling the ball and they probably would have doubled him.
Speaker 2: But he wouldn't have. I don't think he would have
Speaker 2: turned that ball over like that. And I know he's
Speaker 2: had some turnovers in this series, but you can't tell me,
Speaker 2: having a veteran presence out there bro that they that
Speaker 2: they would have been still turning their ball over. I
Speaker 2: just can't. Not at the end, not at the way
Speaker 2: they were turning over at the end. It was just
Speaker 2: some of those passes unco. I'm like, man, what the
Speaker 2: hell was he thinking about?
Speaker 1: Because I don't want you to file me, don't want
Speaker 1: to go to that line you try to get. I
Speaker 1: got a question for both of y'all if you don't
Speaker 1: go on the hot seat. Noah, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: The only reason why I don't think so is because,
Speaker 1: like I said before, without them three veteran guys Steven Adams,
Speaker 1: KD Fred Van Fleet, they gonna give him a pass
Speaker 1: on this one. So they'll they'll get another crack at it.
Speaker 1: They'll get they'll give another crack at it. But the
Speaker 1: fact the problem that you're going to have Joe and
Speaker 1: Ojo is Steven Adams to look at his history the
Speaker 1: last five years. What have you been doing Joe injured? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You been there? Yeah, injured. So the likelihood of moving
Speaker 1: forward he's able to give you sixty five seventy games
Speaker 1: isn't very likely. Right, He's a big man, and when
Speaker 1: big men start getting injured, it starts. Happened it started,
Speaker 1: keep it happens more. It happens now with greater regularity,
Speaker 1: and it keeps them out for longer periods of time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely right, you're absolutely right. Well you got to be
Speaker 1: doing to me. I really can't count on Steven Adams
Speaker 1: because I've seen this injury history. I saw what happened
Speaker 1: when he was in Memphis. He's hurt all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: teams are different when he's in the lineup as opposed
Speaker 1: to when he isn't. But the problem is is that
Speaker 1: he's out of the lineup more times than he's in
Speaker 1: the lineup. You're right, you're right. What the Laker's gonna
Speaker 1: do about eight? No? At thirty something minutes? Ohho? You?
Speaker 1: I mean heighty two points? Come on? Sixory bows? What
Speaker 1: they what? What they supposed to do with? He should
Speaker 1: cut his hands off? Donated in the science study? Why
Speaker 1: asking so they can study him? So why's so bad? Now?
Speaker 2: What I'm saying that they gonna they need him, they
Speaker 2: need him to produce. But I'm saying, listen, we've seen
Speaker 2: him put up twenty and ten in the postseason. Bro All,
Speaker 2: I'm saying, you can't come out here and give us
Speaker 2: a deuce in six boys in thirty some minutes.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: Hey, ain't no telling which aid and you're gonna get
Speaker 4: from game to game.
Speaker 3: And that's a good thing. Everybody else was on it.
Speaker 1: Sis stunt. See that's what he likes. What did they
Speaker 1: say in Portland? What did excuse me? What they say
Speaker 1: in Phoenix? What do they say in Portland? At this
Speaker 1: point in time, we are what we repeatedly do. Damn.
Speaker 1: Therefore it's not it becomes an act. So this is
Speaker 1: who he is at some point in time. We've got
Speaker 1: to accept the fact. Now he showed us different, Joe,
Speaker 1: We got accept that this is this is who he is.
Speaker 3: He's just ain't you up and down?
Speaker 2: Joey is you don't tease us because you then showed
Speaker 2: us that you can play at this high level.
Speaker 1: Bro. You know, rockets ain't got Yeah, rockets ain't got
Speaker 1: no real interior presence like that. They ain't got no
Speaker 1: interior presence Shakun is not a defender. Pawn well, he
Speaker 1: pond water soft. He ain't no defender. You know, ponds
Speaker 1: don't got no ripple, ain't got no salt. They got nothing.
Speaker 1: But but that's the problem with him. This is this
Speaker 1: is who you see? What do way? I al would say, Well,
Speaker 1: you dealing if you dealing with a man or woman
Speaker 1: and they got this history. You accept someone as they are,
Speaker 1: not how you wish them to be, and you can
Speaker 1: be fined if you accept him or her as they are,
Speaker 1: not how you wish them to be. See Joe, Oh,
Speaker 1: Joe and I. We keep wish Hainting to be something.
Speaker 1: What has he shown us? What has he shown his team?
Speaker 1: What has he shown the NBA? We keep wishing.
Speaker 2: Well, My thing is if you if the Lakers gonna
Speaker 2: continue to advance, you can't he can't play like this
Speaker 2: in the next round he played.
Speaker 1: Like this anyway, What Joe, tell me? What gives you?
Speaker 1: What gives you this notion, this grand idea that all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he's gonna be something. What you've seen
Speaker 1: from him since he's been a number older, number one
Speaker 1: overall pick in the last seven years, What has shown
Speaker 1: you that he's gonna give you consistency.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 4: If you're playing against OKC and you don't step up
Speaker 4: and want to play better than what you play tonight.
Speaker 2: They gonna, Hey, they gonna have his big ass and
Speaker 2: picking rolls all night long, all.
Speaker 1: Night long, and he doesn't and he doesn't know because
Speaker 1: he won't. Yo, he tried. Hey, he's backing up. You
Speaker 1: can't do that with shooters, Bro. You see early on
Speaker 1: Smith is draining the three. Why would you ever sink
Speaker 1: fight over that that? Hey, I gotta come right now, Joe,
Speaker 1: I gotta show I can't. I can't drop. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: he show.
Speaker 2: You, ayp Bro, you gotta know your person there. Gotta
Speaker 2: know your person there, Okay, Yo. I think especially when
Speaker 2: you get in the playoffs, because every possession is so valuable,
Speaker 2: and when you squander away possessions and give up open
Speaker 2: looks and they come to bite you. That hurts, Bro,
Speaker 2: That hurts. The good thing is singing. Ain't know the
Speaker 2: hell of a three point shooter, you know, but but
Speaker 2: he he he, he got some block work, you know,
Speaker 2: he got out on the today.
Speaker 1: But then they soft touch around the rim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I ain't look, well, what I'm saying from Aiden,
Speaker 2: uncle O Joe, I'm not asking for twenty and ten
Speaker 2: every night, but fourteen fifteen points a night with about
Speaker 2: eight to twelve rebounds. Bro, that's doable. That's doable.
Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, uncle Joe.
Speaker 4: Now if we want if you want him to do
Speaker 4: that right, shoot Lebron know that w Lebron should be trying.
Speaker 1: You come in, I give him the ball. If I
Speaker 1: give him the ball and he turned around the head
Speaker 1: and give you.
Speaker 3: The ball and let him, let him get hi rhythm.
Speaker 4: Let Aiden get in rhythm early, so you know you
Speaker 4: got him for the rest of the game.
Speaker 3: It's no different than when we be playing football.
Speaker 1: O Joe. If I thought you in the first quarter
Speaker 1: and you drop off for him, you think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep feeding you. Hell no, Okay, you just started the
Speaker 1: show talk about what we're gonna do with eight and hands.
Speaker 1: You just started to show that is that you're to
Speaker 1: let him get the rhythm.
Speaker 4: Now, listen, this series is over right, I'm talking about
Speaker 4: the next series. I'm not saying that the Lakers could
Speaker 4: win the next series, but at least give yourself a chance.
Speaker 4: In order to give yourself a chance, everybody got to
Speaker 4: be aligned. Everybody got to be on one accord. Goddamn Joe,
Speaker 4: one band one sound. Ain't no one band one sound
Speaker 4: unless Ayden is doing what you do that's fifteen or
Speaker 4: twenty a god there, or it's gonna.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a gentleman streep going the.
Speaker 1: Other way, or or you know you you hope that
Speaker 1: ar come back.
Speaker 2: I just think the dudes with these ham strings injuries,
Speaker 2: like like j Jaln Williams for OKC and Luca Doncon.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with Y'allna, it's gonna be hard
Speaker 2: pressing me to see these dudes come back and be really,
Speaker 2: really effective like they were before.
Speaker 1: DN.
Speaker 2: Y'all know the hamstring play on? Look at Gordon. Hell,
Speaker 2: atleast set out the other night for Denver. It's just
Speaker 2: too much, Bro. You can't because you know you need
Speaker 2: that hamstring for everything. That should get up everything you
Speaker 2: take off. That thing ain't gon to pulling. Boy, you
Speaker 2: can't even get up out the block.
Speaker 1: You know what it is? Oh Joe, you know how
Speaker 1: to have you know how they hand me here?
Speaker 3: Hey, all you gotta feel is that it's a round.
Speaker 1: It'll take your aggressiveness away.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you gotta shut it. You gotta shut
Speaker 3: it down.
Speaker 1: Thing. Look, I don't know, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: do it. You can't inject the hamstring. You peat p
Speaker 1: r P in there. You do that and try to
Speaker 1: speed up, to speed up, speed up the healing process.
Speaker 1: I don't know if these guys, these guys, they're like
Speaker 1: old school, old school, got me, you shooting any thing up?
Speaker 1: You out there, I'm gonna try. I gonna try. That
Speaker 1: thing got to be that thing gotta fall off the
Speaker 1: bone for me not to get out there right right right, Hey,

Speaker 1: shot up a shoulder, ribs, ain't gole knee out. Have
Speaker 1: took plenty of them, just shots in my butt jeets. Yeah,

Speaker 4: a Wednesday practice. I think we might have been going
Speaker 4: through gold. I mean not not not the goal. And
Speaker 4: you know it was an open field, open field to play.
Speaker 4: The think I ran to go route and you know
Speaker 4: I was stepping on the dB toes and you know
Speaker 4: you you know, you hit that step to let the
Speaker 4: quarterback know to let it go once you hit that
Speaker 4: seventh step on the on that and I felt that
Speaker 4: that right, I felt that white pull just a little bit,
Speaker 4: just a little bit, man, Joe.
Speaker 3: I pulled up so fast.
Speaker 4: And after practice the game, obviously we know we play
Speaker 4: on Sunday, I got you know what, dry, I got
