Speaker 1: Welcome in to what's burning here with DeMarcus Cousins back back,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen braved airplane issues. You are in a
Speaker 1: flight from Vegas to LA that was supposed to land
Speaker 1: in one airport. You circled into another airport. We circled
Speaker 1: in LA for an hour before we landed. I'm supposing
Speaker 1: land in Burbank. Burbank was like, we can't even handle
Speaker 1: pick somewhere else. But you're here now. Friends. We got
Speaker 1: to talk about the Warriors because the Splash Brothers they're back.
Speaker 1: The boys are back. Right Saturday, Steph Powers that emotional
Speaker 1: overtime win Clay on Monday night, and I'll get these
Speaker 1: numbers right, thirty eight points in thirty four minutes. He's
Speaker 1: averaging a career high and scoring great. Right, everything's there.
Speaker 1: They're getting back in a form. The road record still
Speaker 1: not what anyone would hope, but you know, it seems
Speaker 1: like they're getting back into playoff form right at the
Speaker 1: right time. Except for Andrew Wiggins still out. He out
Speaker 1: for personal reasons. Everyone's been very respectful in a great way.
Speaker 1: I've even seen I was a little worried about online
Speaker 1: because you know, once people get into the reddit. But
Speaker 1: people of Warriors fans have been great. I want to
Speaker 1: give them a lot of credit. They have been respectful
Speaker 1: about Andrew Wiggins and the fact that he's going through
Speaker 1: some shit personally. But there has been a little bit
Speaker 1: of a question of when he is coming back, because
Speaker 1: for a while the Warriors were like, when Andrew gets back,
Speaker 1: when Wiggs gets back. The other night, this is what
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr said. He noticeably shifted his language. He said, quote,
Speaker 1: the hope is that we get Wiggins back, and the
Speaker 1: quote was if he's able to come back, that would
Speaker 1: be great, and if not, we will handle it accordingly.
Speaker 1: He was the second best player during the finals at
Speaker 1: times last year. Not through every game, but certainly at times.
Speaker 1: How does what you think Golden State can do in
Speaker 1: the postseason or even if they can get to the
Speaker 1: postseason change if Wiggs does not come back. Well, obviously,
Speaker 1: you know Wiggs is a huge part to that team,
Speaker 1: but you know, this is a team that's been there,
Speaker 1: They've they've seen every season that could happen throughout a
Speaker 1: playoff rude. So as far as them preparing or adjustin
Speaker 1: I think that's more than capable. But obviously Wiggins is
Speaker 1: a huge piece, but they're still the Wards, They're still
Speaker 1: the Warriors. I just worry because, I mean, he's a
Speaker 1: big body who does a lot of things for them,
Speaker 1: and just they're thin after him there at that position.
Speaker 1: But I can still say, even if I'm in the
Speaker 1: top of the West, right, I don't want to see
Speaker 1: the awards no matter what, No matter what, I don't
Speaker 1: care who's missing. Yeah you have an issue. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: did you see that game the other night. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's incredible, ridiculous. He's turning thirty five. I think today
Speaker 1: he's got about another ten years to play if he
Speaker 1: wanted to, right, he really wants Yeah, No, I mean
Speaker 1: his dad played into his late thirties, so I think
Speaker 1: he certainly thinks he can. That's a good point about
Speaker 1: the fact that they've adjusted to so much over the years,
Speaker 1: they can adjust to this. Also, absolutely, I get that
Speaker 1: they do have a really big five game road road
Speaker 1: stent't coming up. I think starting with the Clippers here
Speaker 1: in LA on Wednesday night. That's what. How is it
Speaker 1: possible to have that bad I think the fourth worst
Speaker 1: in the league on the road and second best in
Speaker 1: the league at home. How is it like? How is
Speaker 1: that possible. Explain how that works. It can happen, It
Speaker 1: can really happen. One thing about playing at home, it
Speaker 1: covers up a lot of your mistakes because of the
Speaker 1: energy and the building. Okay, so you can overcome a
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes just by the momentum. On the road,
Speaker 1: it's not the same thing. Those mistakes they start adding
Speaker 1: up and building up. You don't you don't have the
Speaker 1: crowd to feed off of when it's a it's a
Speaker 1: ten point run. Does it really make that much of
Speaker 1: the difference. It's that much over the difference, It's that much.
Speaker 1: So it's understandable. But this is you know, the Warriors
Speaker 1: have been inconsistent. Oh yeah, inconsistent with health. Right, So
Speaker 1: with that being said, it's hard to find that chemistry
Speaker 1: and comaraderie throughout a year on the road. That's what
Speaker 1: you lean on the most, right, So those are the
Speaker 1: results with their record. I don't know, man, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: fascinated as someone who has never played, so therefore I'm
Speaker 1: always asking people a million questions. The idea that you
Speaker 1: could be that different. I mean, I understand difference, that different,
Speaker 1: but they are They're not reliable when it comes to
Speaker 1: that up and down of where they're playing, and if
Speaker 1: you look around the West, by the way, Maverick's huge
Speaker 1: questions like that with what's going on with them right now.
Speaker 1: Sons have injury issues, as we know, the Grizzlies have
Speaker 1: John Rant issues. I don't know how say that on
Speaker 1: and on and on. And you know who is the
Speaker 1: most just going about their business team in the entire
Speaker 1: Western Conference right now, the Sacramento King one eight of ten.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm phrasing it this way, given the
Speaker 1: history of the franchise. Are they the most reliable team
Speaker 1: in the West? They are, right, they are were there,
Speaker 1: but the Nuggets have been healthy on here. But you
Speaker 1: know the Nuggets, I would say they're the most reliable
Speaker 1: and obviously the biggest surprise. Yeah, but health played such
Speaker 1: a huge factor in regular season. If you're healthy for
Speaker 1: the regular season, if you're starting five is healthy for
Speaker 1: the regular season, you have a great chance of being
Speaker 1: successful for that season. It goes beyond I mean, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know Nay has the numbers, producer, Nate, can
Speaker 1: you put the numbers up there for me? Right? So, okay,
Speaker 1: here's the here's the health right, So Fox has played
Speaker 1: sixty out of sixty seven games, sabonas sixty five out
Speaker 1: of sixty seven games, Harrison Barnes every single game, Keegan
Speaker 1: Murray's sixty five, Kevin Hurder sixty four. Right, that's impressive. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, regular season shout out to their training. Seriously,
Speaker 1: that's that's impressive. Right. Does that matter going into the
Speaker 1: playoffs or is that a regular season thing? I can
Speaker 1: say that's definitely a regular season thing. Okay, the playoffs
Speaker 1: it's TPD in my opinion, playoffs is a whole another monster.
Speaker 1: It's adjustments his schemes, it's attacking weakness, is an entire game.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just don't think regular season carries out.
Speaker 1: And we've seen it before. Obviously. It's teams that like
Speaker 1: the Warriors, who've dominated the entire season, they can come
Speaker 1: out and dominating in the playoffs. That's why they are franchise,
Speaker 1: That's why they are with their dynasty, because they were
Speaker 1: able to do that. I just this, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of odds against them with the youth, with the inexperience.
Speaker 1: We'll see. Well, I mean, look, I do think there's
Speaker 1: something in chemistry, right, and there's something about like you
Speaker 1: know what the guy acrossing you without even saying anything.
Speaker 1: You just know by looking at him, where he's going
Speaker 1: to be on the court, what he's gonna do. When
Speaker 1: you've guys got guys who played sixty five, sixty seven
Speaker 1: games together, you develop that that counts. And the bench
Speaker 1: is steel horrible. But I wasna, but then you got
Speaker 1: book and Katie coming at you. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Being able to look and know where your other guys defending.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that matters if you've also got
Speaker 1: the person you're defending, is Kevin Durrant like that kind
Speaker 1: of thing. I just I don't know. I do think though,
Speaker 1: the reliability factor goes beyond health with them. You've been
Speaker 1: in that franchise and by the way, it way predates you.
Speaker 1: I mean, even the Kings were battling the Lakers in
Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals, there was not a stable team.
Speaker 1: There was so much drama with that team. There was
Speaker 1: drama when you were there. There is no drama with
Speaker 1: that team right now. Beyond health. Mike Brown has it
Speaker 1: just sort of very steady. Everything's going. Does that matter
Speaker 1: when you get into the playoffs or again, it's just talent,
Speaker 1: it's just who's got the best players in the court. Well,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Um, I don't know if that is
Speaker 1: a good thing, because regular season also prepares you for
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Regular season it's about up and down because
Speaker 1: then the playoffs it's ups and down. It's going to
Speaker 1: be up and down. The energy can literally shift from
Speaker 1: a single game, right. So, like I said, this is
Speaker 1: a young team, they are inexperienced. They do have a
Speaker 1: championship coach in Mike Brown. Um, I don't, I just
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see much success in the playoffs
Speaker 1: for the Kings this season. What do you remember about
Speaker 1: your first playoff games? Everything was like a thousand miles
Speaker 1: by really everything everything, everything's a thousand miles by hour.
Speaker 1: So um man, I just remember being singled out every
Speaker 1: single possession with the pick and roll. Man, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a lot of schemes and play it's everything is skin.
Speaker 1: It's not just regular basketball. It's literally a scheme the
Speaker 1: entire game. And we talk about the Kings, they don't
Speaker 1: have Sybonus is an incredible talent, but he's not a
Speaker 1: defensive big. So he's gonna be He's gonna be a
Speaker 1: point of emphasis. When the playoffs starts, then I start
Speaker 1: we speak about the bench. They don't they haven't had
Speaker 1: a backup big all year. They're up and down with
Speaker 1: how they feel about Rashaun Holmes. Uh so they've struggled
Speaker 1: with that. I keep speaking on the bench. They're gonna
Speaker 1: pick on the big Fela. Yeah, it does matter. They're
Speaker 1: gonna pick on the big Fela. So what happens if
Speaker 1: he's in foul trouble or he can't become a positive
Speaker 1: in those playoffs? What happens then? So I think those
Speaker 1: are real questions for that. That's why I speak on
Speaker 1: it's different in the playoffs. Yeah, I'm interested. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: what was it like at halftime of your first playoff game? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm listening everything coach got to say because I'm trying
Speaker 1: to figure this thing out, like man, like coach talking
Speaker 1: me through this. Man, what's going on? Yeah, So it's
Speaker 1: definitely a different experience yea. And I mean with me,
Speaker 1: I it was it was a lot more difficult because
Speaker 1: I was injured, Yeah, in my first player Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it was everything, Like I said, everything was moving from
Speaker 1: me when I was comfortable got to play, you know,
Speaker 1: it's but I've been there as well. It was you know,
Speaker 1: it's you know what to expect. Yeah, that first go around,
Speaker 1: it's some thousand miles by everything everywhere. I want to say,
Speaker 1: we were talking about that before it started. All right,
Speaker 1: I want to go to the East because of the
Speaker 1: Sixers have been hot, hot, hot. Joel Embiid insanity right
Speaker 1: his last twenty games thirty three, ten and four fifty
Speaker 1: four percent from the floor, leaves the league in scoring.
Speaker 1: Six Ers have won five straight. As we sit here today,
Speaker 1: third in the East, there are only three games out
Speaker 1: of first and by the way, they're only one game
Speaker 1: back from Boston. I mean James Harden leading the league
Speaker 1: and assists. Are you ready to say I could pick
Speaker 1: them to come out of the East or you just
Speaker 1: think they're still behind wake your Boston. Um, I think
Speaker 1: those are the three teams. But that's not answer to
Speaker 1: my question. I didn't finish. But with that being said, UM,
Speaker 1: I think Philly does have a great chance. They are
Speaker 1: they are a contender. Um. It's always been a question
Speaker 1: in the recent years with you know, Big Joe's health,
Speaker 1: and I think he checked that off this year. In
Speaker 1: this season, he's been healthy most of the season. He's
Speaker 1: dominated the whole season. He's led the team. James is
Speaker 1: in a comfortable place. He's playing his role and you know,
Speaker 1: being that pass frest guard for them and closing we
Speaker 1: need be Max. He's playing at a high level. They
Speaker 1: have great pieces around them. So um, if Big Joe
Speaker 1: carries this type of performance over into the playoffs, they
Speaker 1: definitely have a great chance. Where where are you with
Speaker 1: him MVP versus Yoga Triannis. I think Big Joe's turn.
Speaker 1: We're gonna just put it like you do. I think
Speaker 1: the other two guys have had theirs. Okay, let's let's
Speaker 1: roar it is that part of it for you though,
Speaker 1: because there's there's certainly people who are like, no, it's
Speaker 1: just about the numbers this season and the other seasons
Speaker 1: shouldn't come into it. Well, if it's just about the
Speaker 1: numbers in the season, it still leans towards Joe. He's
Speaker 1: leading the league in score, he's dominating out of all
Speaker 1: time high Like, get a big fellow as flowers. He deserves,
Speaker 1: he really deserves. And I'm not taking away anything from
Speaker 1: the other two guys if they've received their flowers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not to say they won't get more in the future,
Speaker 1: but as of right now, Big Joe deserves its flowers.
Speaker 1: It's so interesting too, because, like, if you say anything
Speaker 1: about one of these guys, the fan bases of the
Speaker 1: other two were like, how dare you? There's just this,
Speaker 1: this this feeling about the debate for MVP. It's gotten
Speaker 1: so toxic, and it's gotten so well, if you must
Speaker 1: hate this guy, if you like this guy type of thing.
Speaker 1: For me, it's always been a real question about is
Speaker 1: it about the best season, who's had the best season?
Speaker 1: Is about who the best player is? I think those
Speaker 1: should actually be two separate things. If you look at
Speaker 1: the other leagues, like the NFL has changed its awards
Speaker 1: in the last twenty years to be like, hey, here's
Speaker 1: the MVP, that's who's the best guy. Here's the Offensive
Speaker 1: and Defensive Player of the Year. That's who's had the
Speaker 1: best offensive and defensive season. The NHL makes a difference
Speaker 1: between their MVP and their scoring champion. Like other leagues
Speaker 1: do this, we don't do it. Here is another year.
Speaker 1: Some years, by the way, the best season and the
Speaker 1: best player are the same guy. But here is another
Speaker 1: year where I think you could ostensibly say those are
Speaker 1: two right, oh, co MVP. I don't think they be
Speaker 1: mad at that. I feel like the way they change
Speaker 1: the scoring. It used to be like just one vote
Speaker 1: for one person so you could get ties. Now I
Speaker 1: remember we had co Rookie of the Year with Grant Hill. Right,
Speaker 1: Who's who is a co Workie the Year with Grant Hill?
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd? Right, there we go. You can't happen anymore
Speaker 1: because they do like three two one and then you
Speaker 1: get so many points for three third place vote, second
Speaker 1: place vote. But I don't know. I will keep everyone
Speaker 1: knows that's how you know. These my issue, but I
Speaker 1: will keep campaigning. I think we should. I think we
Speaker 1: should change the way the awards work because I think
Speaker 1: it's the debate every year. People are arguing over two
Speaker 1: completely different criteria. It's becoming cold, like yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's the cold activity is coming from the media side.
Speaker 1: Well there's oh, there's so many hours of debate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's really not about the talent or the performances,
Speaker 1: and it's well who likes who? Then who gives me to?
Speaker 1: You know, it's weird. So um, my vote for MVP
Speaker 1: this year is Joe ellenb There you go, all right,
Speaker 1: you heard it. They're It's complicated though. Two on who votes,
Speaker 1: because the media votes. I know a lot of media
Speaker 1: who I mean, first of all, some media don't vote,
Speaker 1: refuse to vote because they don't want to be put
Speaker 1: in that position or their organization doesn't want to put
Speaker 1: them in that position. But there's really no one else
Speaker 1: to vote, and that every time they hand to vote
Speaker 1: to the players. Like the players got twenty five percent
Speaker 1: of the All Star vote, Go look at go back,
Speaker 1: it's available online. Go back and look at who they
Speaker 1: voted for. Because you had guys voting for You had
Speaker 1: four votes for Chet Holmgren, who has not played a
Speaker 1: single minute in the NBA this season, Four players voted
Speaker 1: for him to make the All Star Game. You got
Speaker 1: guys voting for their teammates, guys voting for their bench guys. Like,
Speaker 1: you can't have the coaches vote because they obviously are
Speaker 1: extremely biased toward their players. So I don't know how
Speaker 1: we solve this who votes. I think we should just
Speaker 1: create a committee. Yeah, so like maybe some former players possibly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we should. Actually, I mean we obviously have fun yea
Speaker 1: create a commedtee? All right, would you be would you
Speaker 1: have that com I would love to be that. I
Speaker 1: would love to do you think a rules committee to
Speaker 1: might We're gonna come up next time, next time you
Speaker 1: come on listen, we're gonna have a list of committees.
Speaker 1: But because it's gonna spearhead, we can't talk about Philly
Speaker 1: without also talking about Boston though. The little struggling five
Speaker 1: five and five in their last ten drop that game
Speaker 1: against the Rockets on Monday, despite forty points from Jaylen Brown,
Speaker 1: and they just I mean, if you look at it,
Speaker 1: they're fine, but they just don't look like themselves. I
Speaker 1: think they're in the bottom five in fourth quarter scoring.
Speaker 1: Are you starting to get worried at all about them?
Speaker 1: I'm not worried. No, Um, it's that time of year.
Speaker 1: They've dominated the entire seasons. This is the part where
Speaker 1: guys starts sitting out once you get your place and
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, this is you know, this is that
Speaker 1: time of season. So to say I'm worried now, but
Speaker 1: like I said, they've dominated the entire season, it's I
Speaker 1: get it. And look, March used to be dead in
Speaker 1: the NBA, and that's part of why the play in
Speaker 1: has been such a success because now you've got I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the West right now, you've got like eight
Speaker 1: teams who are trying to stay out of the play,
Speaker 1: end in the play and all that stuff. That being said,
Speaker 1: I do think it matters where you end up in
Speaker 1: a three team conference where the top three teams we
Speaker 1: just talked about it, or you know, kind of could
Speaker 1: go in any order. If you face Philadelphia in the
Speaker 1: second round versus if you don't face them until the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals. And by the way, if Boston, I
Speaker 1: mean Boston had the number one spot for most of
Speaker 1: the season until the Bucks went on that crazy run
Speaker 1: this last month, and Boston was looking at not having
Speaker 1: to face one of those teams until the Eastern Conference finals.
Speaker 1: Now you got to face if you if you stay
Speaker 1: in that number two spot or maybe slip to three,
Speaker 1: you got to face one of those teams in the
Speaker 1: second round and then face the other one again and
Speaker 1: then it's not like once you get through that, it's over.
Speaker 1: That to me is where this March slump kind of
Speaker 1: thing is a big deal where I say, Okay, it
Speaker 1: matters to me because I think playoff positioning is really important.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I agree with that, but I
Speaker 1: think regardless they would end up seeing both teams either
Speaker 1: second or right. Well, they'll see yeah, so it's yeah,
Speaker 1: those are the three best teams in the East. Well,
Speaker 1: here's here's what I would say if I'm Joe Zula,
Speaker 1: I would look at all my guys and saying, do
Speaker 1: you want to go seven games with Joel and James Harden?
Speaker 1: And even if you get through it, are you going
Speaker 1: to get hurt or something? You know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: you're just upping your chances of something going wrong, even
Speaker 1: if you have confidence you could beat that team, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not try would have full confidence
Speaker 1: on that because we just talked about Philly. But like,
Speaker 1: even if you're sitting there in your locker room and
Speaker 1: you think we can beat anyone, you put yourself in
Speaker 1: that position. You don't know what's going to happen. Someone
Speaker 1: could get hurt, and that's the that's the beauty of
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I can't wait. I'm looking for all of
Speaker 1: this in the East for sure, right in the East
Speaker 1: for sure. So I can't wait. I'm looking for all
Speaker 1: these headlines. The top of the East obviously better as
Speaker 1: a group top three than the top of the West overall,
Speaker 1: though with that playoff racket, the top eight ten teams.
Speaker 1: Do you think the East is a better group than
Speaker 1: the West or the West is still better? I say
Speaker 1: the East is better right now, but just because the
Speaker 1: teams are flowing. Yeah at the top the West, it's
Speaker 1: like late in the season and this contenders still figuring tea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's deeper. The West is deeper deep, but nobody chemistry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody's struggling with chemistry right now. What's the opposite of depth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of tops. So I think I
Speaker 1: think with the West, we could we could have a
Speaker 1: crazy surprise with who comes because it's just been so
Speaker 1: inconsistent all the Yeah, and now with Memphis too, Like
Speaker 1: I don't I could. You could tell me anything is
Speaker 1: going to happen with Memphis in the playoffs, and I
Speaker 1: believe you. You can tell me they have a first
Speaker 1: round exit where they only win one game. I would
Speaker 1: believe you just because of the inconsistency, they're gonna walk
Speaker 1: into the playoffs with even if John is back by then,
Speaker 1: or you can tell me they win two rounds, Like
Speaker 1: there's job come back this year. You think there's a
Speaker 1: chance he won't. I don't see him coming back this
Speaker 1: season really O come just the way with things playout
Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, weapons and how they
Speaker 1: feel about I just don't see I hope, yeah, I
Speaker 1: pray overcomes. I'm I'm rooting for the kid, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't see you playing out And obviously you have
Speaker 1: to said an example. I give you my cynical point
Speaker 1: of view, though. I think there are a lot of
Speaker 1: very wealthy people invested in John Rant being on the court,
Speaker 1: of course, and I think that includes the league as
Speaker 1: a whole. I think that Jazz kind of one of
Speaker 1: the brightest lights we got as one of our young stars.
Speaker 1: I think that there is a big emotional investment in
Speaker 1: him being there when the playoffs start. I think that
Speaker 1: it's a different league than it was when someone when
Speaker 1: David Stern told Gilbernas to sit down for fifty games.
Speaker 1: And I just you know, Nike and is very invested
Speaker 1: in and Poweraid like in the middle of all this stuff,
Speaker 1: like three days before the latest incident, but after the
Speaker 1: previous two, Poweraid signs this huge deal with John Rant.
Speaker 1: Like I just again, this is me being right now.
Speaker 1: I just think a lot of money there was not that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Gilbert, and I again, I grew
Speaker 1: up in the DC area and I worked in DC
Speaker 1: when he was there and all that, but there was
Speaker 1: not this kind of money Gilbert nas on the court.
Speaker 1: That's very true, sounds very true. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: rooting for your kid. I hope you make it back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I say other thing too, By the way,
Speaker 1: I think everyone likes Jah by the way, and that's
Speaker 1: that's not a counterpoint to gil who I do love.
Speaker 1: But like jaw just now talking totally about job like,
Speaker 1: he's so likable. Yeah right, he's so fun. I think
Speaker 1: fans are willing to give him some room and some leeway.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's something. But technically he didn't do
Speaker 1: anything well, he didn't break a law. He hasn't done
Speaker 1: anything wrong. He the NBA has its own rules about guns. Right.
Speaker 1: And then there's the question of how did he get
Speaker 1: the gun there? Right, This is not a question. I'm
Speaker 1: not a law enforcement officer. But unless he picked that
Speaker 1: gun up that afternoon in Colorado, which by the way,
Speaker 1: he could have. There's many available in Colorado, I believe
Speaker 1: at the Walmart. But like, uh, or did they stop
Speaker 1: selling guns? Am I wrong? Am I right? No? Yes,
Speaker 1: very right, thank you. I think on Colorado you can
Speaker 1: go into like the seven to eleven and get a gun.
Speaker 1: I mean there's an open carry estate. So who whoever who?
Speaker 1: I don't know. But if he did bring it with
Speaker 1: him on the plane, that is illegal. But but I
Speaker 1: don't know, and he's not being that's not the question.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get off track, like he did
Speaker 1: not break any any laws in Colorado. It is more
Speaker 1: of just, hey, this is a young man who obviously
Speaker 1: has had a series of issues, who there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people invested in, not just monetarily but emotionally,
Speaker 1: and just I think we all want Jot to succeed.
Speaker 1: And so the idea that he is now getting some help.
Speaker 1: It came out I think yesterday that he is in
Speaker 1: some program in Florida and um, just you know, get
Speaker 1: himself in a place where he can make the best decisions.
Speaker 1: And that's that's what we all want, right, is that
Speaker 1: that him having autonomy over his own life and not
Speaker 1: having circumstances and other stuff he's getting into making those
Speaker 1: decisions for And we got to also realize this is
Speaker 1: a key. Yes, he's twenty three. Right, this is a
Speaker 1: baby I was doing so much stupid yeah now of me, right,
Speaker 1: but I mean, my stars, I can't imagine. I know,
Speaker 1: I know people my age still make it dumb. Super
Speaker 1: So it's like like, obviously he has to and this
Speaker 1: is the this is the part of the business where
Speaker 1: it's tricky and it sucks for that endividually. You got
Speaker 1: to grow quicker than you really want. Yeah, maybe should
Speaker 1: have to, yeah, or or then you have to. And
Speaker 1: this is just a lesson for him to come to
Speaker 1: that realization. I have to grow up. Not a bad thing,
Speaker 1: not a knock to him. You go through your you
Speaker 1: know your obstacles in life. You got plenty of life
Speaker 1: to live. Next year, we won't even remember this. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I just think there's a big investment in the game
Speaker 1: on him getting back on track. I think we see
Speaker 1: him in the playoffs, get back. I think that he'll
Speaker 1: be everyone will be welcoming him back. There's no like,
Speaker 1: oh he's a thug. Like I mean, I've seen a
Speaker 1: little bit of that, but not within the game, not
Speaker 1: within the sport, right, And like I just think people
Speaker 1: want I want him to succeed, People want him to succeed.
Speaker 1: This is just a grow up. Yeah, just grow up.
Speaker 1: That's all it is and nothing more. Yeah, but still
Speaker 1: creates a question. I don't know what what kind of
Speaker 1: team they're going to be. Steven Adams is still out
Speaker 1: by the way that you know, we'll see Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: legendary moments presented to you. Buy top shot. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk big man because I got a big man sitting
Speaker 1: right next to me. Um, the best highlights in today's NBA.
Speaker 1: I want to look at a few highlight driven centers.
Speaker 1: Who's got the best highlights you think in today's game? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a big, It's a big. I might have a
Speaker 1: goal with zi. Yeah. What's your favorite on moment? Do
Speaker 1: you think of man? His energy at the end of
Speaker 1: the game where you did three sixty women? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: loved it, Yeah, yeah, I loved it. I was. I
Speaker 1: was a fan of that moment, So probably I will
Speaker 1: roll with that. He's I'm time of a likable He's
Speaker 1: so likable, Like when he smiles, you just want to like,
Speaker 1: go room great, wherever he wants to do. You're like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm on board, let's go, let's go. I
Speaker 1: like Yok's passing highlights obviously or there for me. I
Speaker 1: mean he does some shit where you're just like, come on, yeah,
Speaker 1: great highlights, Yeah, the highlight real as well. But anyone else,
Speaker 1: no one else. You're just like as big who You're
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, he's doing it right, you like watching
Speaker 1: Oh Joe. I think Joel is that the evolutionary player, right,
Speaker 1: and obviously yes too, But I'm talking about this like
Speaker 1: the evolution of a big man score. Yes. I mean
Speaker 1: we've seen big that can pass, not that Yoka is right, yeah,
Speaker 1: so don't I know he has a cold too, don't
Speaker 1: jump Yeah, not a hist rate, but we've seen passing
Speaker 1: big before. We've never seen a big score away Joel does.
Speaker 1: Closest thing was probably dream yes, no, well, I get
Speaker 1: even that that part of his game has evolved, although
Speaker 1: you were one of the guys. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: want to toot my own horn. I'm sitting here to
Speaker 1: do that for you. And the way Joel is doing
Speaker 1: it too with the outside game also, I mean I
Speaker 1: would like to say I'm the dumb but he definitely
Speaker 1: evolved the game. Well, but I mean he can't do
Speaker 1: that without you having done what you did first and
Speaker 1: you know, I do think it's interesting when you were
Speaker 1: doing it, like, how many how many coaches do you
Speaker 1: have him on the way? Who told you like, don't
Speaker 1: shoot from there? Oh? My god? I mean I would
Speaker 1: love to speak on that. I mean, my first coach
Speaker 1: in the league told me not to shoot. I just
Speaker 1: wanted me to be a screen, a screener. Who who
Speaker 1: are we talking about? Paul Westfall. He didn't want me
Speaker 1: to He didn't want me to shoot at all, Right,
Speaker 1: you just wanted me to be a screen. Well he
Speaker 1: actually didn't even want to draft me, but that's a
Speaker 1: different situation either here nor there. Yeah, but yeah, he
Speaker 1: didn't believe in me as a score, so he just
Speaker 1: wanted me to be And you know, I've I've always
Speaker 1: had this stigma of, you know, not being a coachable guy.
Speaker 1: In that moment, I'm glad I wasn't coachable because I
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't done in my career. So yeah, uh, was
Speaker 1: there anyone coach you had along the way that really
Speaker 1: encouraged you to shoot, especially from out the three? Surprisingly? So,
Speaker 1: And I'm sure I'll get a tweet or something from
Speaker 1: later on mister Carl my guy, congrats on the Hall
Speaker 1: of fame, you old brumpy man. Look, but uh it
Speaker 1: was it was actually George, and it was more so
Speaker 1: the fitted scheme of the offense. He didn't believe him
Speaker 1: feeding the post, so he just told me to shoot threes.
Speaker 1: He knew I would like, oh, okay, yeah, I shoot
Speaker 1: three to the point where it was, yeah, just stand
Speaker 1: on the outside. So it's been fun to have someone
Speaker 1: tell you could do that. Well, it was. It was
Speaker 1: a little manipulation behind you. I just know the guy.
Speaker 1: I just know the guy. I'm sorry, but um, you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, congrats on this Hall of fame, like,
Speaker 1: well deserved. Do you think there's any room for the
Speaker 1: two of you to have a peaceful moment down the road.
Speaker 1: It's no beef. I'm I can't be for him, like
Speaker 1: I got respect for him. He's yeah, I can't beat
Speaker 1: for him. Okay, but no, he got it. I want
Speaker 1: when he got all the things right. So it's no bees. Well,
Speaker 1: I just didn't know if I gaged in my mind
Speaker 1: as you're talking, like maybe I could get George and
Speaker 1: Bog in the room one day. No, that's unnecessary, No,
Speaker 1: it's not really, it's not where we're going. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: just leave things be. How long have you known me?
Speaker 1: You know me many never. I'm sure George is sitting
Speaker 1: on his porch in this rocking chair sipping lemonade. Leave
Speaker 1: them lemonade, that's what he's possibly lemonade was splendid or something.
Speaker 1: Who knows the shoe from the outside though, And I
Speaker 1: do think like we saw in like Porzingo's Joel, and
Speaker 1: we've seen the evolution of that um all the way through.
Speaker 1: I mean, Kadi obviously is a different, different position, but
Speaker 1: you know the idea that he can play inside and
Speaker 1: outside of the way. Kagi was the first big run
Speaker 1: point yep. So I remember those playoffs. And when a
Speaker 1: young man named Victor comes over from France next year,
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see another leap, right. Have
Speaker 1: you watched him? I saw him in person. I saw
Speaker 1: him in the showcase in Vegas. Yeah, all right, so
Speaker 1: what rundown? What the fuck? I mean, that's what it
Speaker 1: feels like, right when you're I saw this seven foot
Speaker 1: six dude do a one foot three pointer like like
Speaker 1: he was just shooting around in the gym. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: he man, Not my problem, well right now, that's not
Speaker 1: my problem till next year. Ye, we'll see, we'll see,
Speaker 1: maybe they'll let me back in, who knows. But I
Speaker 1: mean in those years, this when he when he starts playing,
Speaker 1: and maybe not in the first two months, but I
Speaker 1: expect him to evolve the game. And right now it's
Speaker 1: what the fuck? But five years, ten years after him,
Speaker 1: some others there will be there will be kids coming.
Speaker 1: I mean, because we looked at Steph Curry in twenty
Speaker 1: fifteen and we were like, come on, never, nobody else could,
Speaker 1: no one could ever do that whatever, And now we
Speaker 1: got a whole fleet of Steph Curries. I mean, let
Speaker 1: me right, that is a proper check one. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that like the idea of shooting. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: even Damian Lillard, who whe a different player, but I
Speaker 1: mean the idea that you can shoot from back there.
Speaker 1: I mean I would trust Damian Lillard to shoot from
Speaker 1: that logos every single time he wants to launch them,
Speaker 1: and well and Staff maybe and Stef yeah, But but
Speaker 1: I just mean that you've got for every impossible player,
Speaker 1: and I think Victor Webanjama is going to be another
Speaker 1: impossible player. Ten fifteen years later, there's a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of guys at least trying to play that spacial game.
Speaker 1: So that's true. Well, see, we also have to see
Speaker 1: where this ends up. Well that's true because we can
Speaker 1: see here. Yeah, where you get drafting matters. So I
Speaker 1: hope that goes well, phone, because I would love I
Speaker 1: want to see him with the Spires. That would be
Speaker 1: I think that's a great fan. I want to see
Speaker 1: him with the Spires, the person I think will turn
Speaker 1: this dude into something crazy. Ye, So I want to
Speaker 1: see him with the Spurs me personally, the Rockets. Hell, no,
Speaker 1: god no, please don't do it. No, I think that's
Speaker 1: the spectrum of the possible team. Yeah, please, sirs would
Speaker 1: be amazing the Rockets. No, god no, no, it matters, right,
Speaker 1: it matters where you really matters. It really matters if
Speaker 1: they're playoff team and you know they their whole goal
Speaker 1: is to winning. Yeah, I can see it happening in
Speaker 1: a positive way for him. But going to a bad
Speaker 1: team and developing Spurs, well, I don't know. You can
Speaker 1: start your NBA top shot collection today at NBA top
Speaker 1: shot dot com. Look for the big Man's top shots. Right. Look,
Speaker 1: don't don't just go to the guard ones. Don't just
Speaker 1: go to the guard moments, go to the big man moments,
Speaker 1: get closer to the game and players you love sign
Speaker 1: up today. All right, let's get to draft Kings because
Speaker 1: we found this prop bed that was pretty cool. Will
Speaker 1: there be a first time NBA champ crowned this season?
Speaker 1: Here are the nominees? All right, so I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: through each team. You tell me Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Sons.
Speaker 1: This list was longer when you first gave it to me,
Speaker 1: Producer Nate. He gave me a long list. Can you
Speaker 1: say some of the other teams that were on there?
Speaker 1: He gave me a list this morning that was like
Speaker 1: eleven teams and there were some teams on There was
Speaker 1: a magic on there? Am I correct that the Magic
Speaker 1: were on there? I was like, what are you smoking? Which,
Speaker 1: by the way, at showtime is a completely legit question,
Speaker 1: but unlike some of the other places I've worked. But
Speaker 1: the point is, the point is the nominees that are realistic,
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, and Sons. Yes is plus one
Speaker 1: forty five, I'm repeating, and no is minus one eighty.
Speaker 1: All right, so what where would you would you put
Speaker 1: your money on? Yes or no? Yes? Camp is Nuggets, Clippers,
Speaker 1: Grizzlies and Sons one of those teams. No, camp is
Speaker 1: everyone else? Sis? But would you say yes or no
Speaker 1: that that any of them could even do it? Say,
Speaker 1: I would say no. If I'm placing this bad, I
Speaker 1: would say say yes. You would say yes. So you
Speaker 1: think the Suns. You have enough faith in the Suns
Speaker 1: that you would say yes, yes, over the Books or
Speaker 1: the Celtics or the Sixers. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: You're not worried about the health? No, I mean health
Speaker 1: is that's everybody's issue? Yeah, so you can't. That can
Speaker 1: never be a factor. You've got Katie and Chris Paul, though,
Speaker 1: who are more prone to injury? Well, some of these
Speaker 1: Chris Paul can really just you know, do his job.
Speaker 1: I'm not, no, shade, it's not as much pressure on
Speaker 1: him being older. No, it's true. You got two good No. No,
Speaker 1: this is a great position for Chris to being Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is because so I don't think his body has
Speaker 1: taken as much of a beating as it has in
Speaker 1: the past. So yeah, okay, waiter coach. Money's a great coat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Money's great. I can see the signs pulling out. I
Speaker 1: can see them pulling this out. So go on DK
Speaker 1: sports Book and I guess push your money, yes on that,
Speaker 1: let me let me borrow yes, because you need That's
Speaker 1: that's true of the people in this room. You need
Speaker 1: to borrow money. Yeah, we're gonna Bohu Manu NBA and
Speaker 1: the wait, we know what. Before we leave this topic,
Speaker 1: I do want to an injuries in the suns. I
Speaker 1: gotta ask this question. I did ask you a little
Speaker 1: bit before we started. But Kadi and the lows, the clue,
Speaker 1: the lowtops is where he hurt himself, and he's born
Speaker 1: lows forever. And by the way, half the week, half
Speaker 1: the league wears lowtops and anyone who pretends otherwise isn't
Speaker 1: paying attention. Kobe wore the lows, was like, you know, so, yes,
Speaker 1: that is part of basketball, But do you think it
Speaker 1: has anything to do with because there's been They've done
Speaker 1: in depth studies and frankly, they've gone different directions. They
Speaker 1: did a huge in depth studies matter and they did
Speaker 1: a big in depth study and it said it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what to believe. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: been rolling my ankles my whole entire basketball career. When
Speaker 1: I was in high Tops and then I don't think
Speaker 1: that matters at all. I don't think it matters at all.
Speaker 1: But I just know somebody was fired for that west
Speaker 1: But the ball, the ball? Can you fire a ball kid?
Speaker 1: Don't they work for free? Well, you're working for free
Speaker 1: somewhere else. It won't be in that arena. So I'm
Speaker 1: more concerned about the guy getting a new job the
Speaker 1: low Tops. Someone someone slipped. Was it a Komengo Jonathan
Speaker 1: comingo like the next two nights later or something the
Speaker 1: same exact thing. I just want we gotta find some
Speaker 1: guys passionate about keeping that flu works. You want to
Speaker 1: Kissing Garnette level passion. We were dealing with world class
Speaker 1: athletes and they're slipping. More important than the shoes. I
Speaker 1: just need a little more passion for your job, That's
Speaker 1: all I'm asking. I mean, people just got really, I
Speaker 1: think I feel like taller lank your athlete's roller ankles
Speaker 1: and Lebron Ros's ankle every five minutes. I literally wrote
Speaker 1: at one point in my crew, I roll my ankle
Speaker 1: every game, really every game. It became like a rubber
Speaker 1: man r. I'm so serious. Yeah, literally every game. Sometimes
Speaker 1: twice a game. I don't know. I think it might
Speaker 1: have something to do with, you know, the lankiness or whatever.
Speaker 1: But you'll be fine, all right, Well, yeah, you better
Speaker 1: be fine. You're betting on him to win the title.
Speaker 1: The NBA and the Players Association are in talks to
Speaker 1: add game a game's minimum for the major awards. Are
Speaker 1: you here for that? Absolutely? All right? Tell me why? Uh?
Speaker 1: It cuts out some of the politics. Yeah, that goes
Speaker 1: into these awards yearly. Um, sometimes a guy can play
Speaker 1: noneimum amount of games and still be a candidate, and
Speaker 1: other times it's held against them. Right, just cuts out
Speaker 1: another politics. In my opinion, I like, I would say
Speaker 1: I would be against this only in that I like
Speaker 1: the fact that it's one more thing that a voter
Speaker 1: can take into account, not in the terms of like,
Speaker 1: oh did he play enough games? But I actually look
Speaker 1: at it even at a different level. So when Joel
Speaker 1: Embiad was a rookie, I voted for him for Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year, even though I think he only played
Speaker 1: thirty something games. I don't know off the top of
Speaker 1: my head, thirty one producer name it says because in
Speaker 1: my mind, and by the way, this is no disrespect
Speaker 1: to Malcolm Brogden who won that year, who I think
Speaker 1: is an excellent player and I really enjoy watching. I
Speaker 1: still would have rather that year. I would have rather
Speaker 1: had Joel for thirty something games than rookie Malcolm Brogden,
Speaker 1: who was not the player he is today for however
Speaker 1: many he played seventy something games or whatever it was.
Speaker 1: I did that because in my head, if I had
Speaker 1: to pick, and that's what it is, right, then that's
Speaker 1: the decision you're making. I'm taken into account the games play.
Speaker 1: But I would rather have had rookie joe El Embiid
Speaker 1: for thirty something games than the other two guys who
Speaker 1: were ahead of him finished ahead of him in the voting.
Speaker 1: So but then it takes away from what Malcolm did
Speaker 1: in that scause. Yeah, I mean arless of what happened
Speaker 1: with joe El. Malcolm had clearly no he absolute it.
Speaker 1: By the way, and that's another thing, you were just
Speaker 1: talking about one guy winning doesn't mean the other guy's trash, right,
Speaker 1: So yes, yes he did, and by the way, he
Speaker 1: would Molcol that year. Malcolm was second on my ballot
Speaker 1: because by the way, after all, out of all the rookies.
Speaker 1: I thought he was the second most guy for the
Speaker 1: number of games he played that I would have wanted
Speaker 1: on my team if I was a gam But for me,
Speaker 1: Joel was such a force that I would rather have
Speaker 1: him for a third of the season than a guy
Speaker 1: who was less of a force for you know, five six.
Speaker 1: I mean, but I think that I was in the
Speaker 1: minority by the way. I could see that also coming
Speaker 1: from who Joe El is now in today's game. So
Speaker 1: that's easy to speak back on him and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well this should have been Joe speaking back on I
Speaker 1: did it at the time. Thank you, thank you, get it. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, so this is track it through history.
Speaker 1: I did at the time. You could look it up.
Speaker 1: I mean, but at the end, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, adding this new layer to you know, make
Speaker 1: it it does make it simpler. It makes it simple.
Speaker 1: It does make it simpler. Test well, that's the other
Speaker 1: so okay, so that's the second part of the question.
Speaker 1: Do you think there are guys and by the way,
Speaker 1: not just because their ego wants to win some of
Speaker 1: these awards, but there's contract incentives with money involved to
Speaker 1: win some of these awards. Do you think guys who
Speaker 1: may be on the fence of do I play these
Speaker 1: five extra games or whatever it is, would actually go
Speaker 1: play and push themselves a little harder if they put
Speaker 1: this rule in. Absolutely, yeah, because you don't want to
Speaker 1: miss that award. If let's say it's sixty five game requirement,
Speaker 1: you play sixty four. You having a career year, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play these last five or the season. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know it's not gonna be sixty five though that minimum.
Speaker 1: If they like forty exactly, we're gonna try to get
Speaker 1: him in. We're gonna squeeze them in. Everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna five. Once this new story came out,
Speaker 1: I saw this stuff like a ha, this is what's
Speaker 1: gonna fix load management. And I'm like, no one's putting
Speaker 1: it up. No one putting in a seventy game requirement. Friends,
Speaker 1: that's not happening. So just gonna be a disagreement, right,
Speaker 1: I want to tell you. So I don't know. I
Speaker 1: get it. I get all the reasons we're trying to
Speaker 1: get superstars to play. I know that. I mean even
Speaker 1: there's media people I know who are jaded and seeing
Speaker 1: a million games and they're still you know, you know,
Speaker 1: someone doesn't show up for a big game, you're kind
Speaker 1: of disappointed. Right. It's kind of weird though, because it's
Speaker 1: like what the league is kind of asking for. They're
Speaker 1: taking away the competitive edge of the game. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they want guys to still be competitive. So what do
Speaker 1: you mean they're taking away the competitive EDGI game? You
Speaker 1: can't even stareing god down. You can't touch anyone. If
Speaker 1: a God dunks me and they steer me down, right,
Speaker 1: you get called. In my head, I'm like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: about to go dunk this motherfucker back right now. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm just waiting for him to get his take.
Speaker 1: I got you back like it. It's like, so the
Speaker 1: whole competitive nature is it's almost like a contradiction, Like
Speaker 1: you want us to compete, but you know, the fiery
Speaker 1: side of the game we don't want. So it's like,
Speaker 1: how do you what are you really asking for? You?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I mean in every sport,
Speaker 1: that's what it feels like now. I mean I'm watching
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean the NFL, we're talking longevity,
Speaker 1: We're talking these guys going back home to that family,
Speaker 1: So there's just a little more understandable. Yeah, the NBA,
Speaker 1: I thought that. I mean I thought we were in
Speaker 1: a great place. Competition, Yes, obviously, it's a business, and
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna tweak things here and there to
Speaker 1: make sure the business flourishes. But as far as the
Speaker 1: game in itself, I thought it was in a great place. Well,
Speaker 1: those text around it's hard to watch a game. Well,
Speaker 1: you get back to the text question. You've got Luca.
Speaker 1: I think he's what two away from again, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I have the number in front of me, but he's
Speaker 1: just a couple of texts away from starting to miss
Speaker 1: every other game. I mean, starting to miss a game
Speaker 1: with every other tech you can get up to. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, okay, Anna talking about tax here, So what
Speaker 1: is it? It's the sixteenth game? You start to get
Speaker 1: some around that nature. I can recall summer so long ago.
Speaker 1: Who could possibly say, but Luca's close? Was it Dylan
Speaker 1: Brooks the other day? Who now was hit across that threshold? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't really understand him. Yeah, well he was going
Speaker 1: to dream on the other day. But he's going out
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. He's going out a lot of
Speaker 1: guys don't. I don't really understand it. Like it's and
Speaker 1: like I have no issue with the confidence. I have
Speaker 1: no issue with the competitive nature. But it's once it
Speaker 1: begins to become where you're knocking down guys that did
Speaker 1: this before you or and we're talking about hall of
Speaker 1: fame game. This isn't just something guy at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, his last three targets have been hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, right, which is mind blowing to me. Relax,
Speaker 1: that's my advice. Just relax, Go be yourself on the
Speaker 1: or be that fiery competitive guy. But just relax. We's
Speaker 1: got to stay on the court to be Yeah you're
Speaker 1: not you're not quite there yet. Relax, relax, you know,
Speaker 1: be you know, be the sidekick to you know, jaw
Speaker 1: and great piece of the team. We'll just relax. The
Speaker 1: extras aren't necessary. Yeah, alright, that's just my advice to
Speaker 1: I met the guy and it's it's not quite the same.
Speaker 1: It's not quite this. Just relax. Well, again, he's got
Speaker 1: to stay on the court with the text him, Luca
Speaker 1: has to stay on the court with the text. And
Speaker 1: you you do. You brought it up. You have a
Speaker 1: little bit of experience with hitting that threshold. I mean,
Speaker 1: we'll go back to Rashid who had forty four tex
Speaker 1: in one year, but that was before they they hit
Speaker 1: the one game every other suspension one game sort of
Speaker 1: rule suppressive. She's that's a number, that's a god level
Speaker 1: of right now give and on that note, no, I
Speaker 1: I you are right when if a guy stares a
Speaker 1: guy down, he gets a tech and then she changes
Speaker 1: the tenor of the game. But you know, we'll see,
Speaker 1: maybe things will get a little spice, Maybe they'll they'll
Speaker 1: have a little more room. Things can get a little
Speaker 1: spicer in the playoffs as we can rene toward it.
Speaker 1: I love that we get to talk hoop for these
Speaker 1: next few months. Buggy, thank you for your circling flight.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Y'all can catch What's burning available every
Speaker 1: week on Showtime Basketball YouTube. It's on Twitter, Instagram, and
Speaker 1: TikTok at show Basketball. There you go, see yah,
