Obviously, once the politics get involved, it's 145 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 6: going to become a really really messy situation and everybody 146 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 6: in the situation becomes a losive. 147 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 4: So real quick, not to cut you off book real quick, 148 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 4: but because when we say politics normally there's politics to 149 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: college basketball policy. 150 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: We're talking real politics, real politics, like we're talking real like. 151 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 4: They wanted they wanted Cal to jump on this this 152 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 4: Trump train and and and support someone who's in his 153 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 4: cabinet who was running for governor. So there was a 154 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 4: lot of hands in the pot. And to me, from 155 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 4: what I read, Cal wanted to protect his players at 156 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 4: all costs. He wouldn't allow his players to be involved 157 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 4: in it, and he don't want himself involved in it. 158 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 4: And once they kind of put his foot down with that, 159 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 4: as powerful as he's outside, NTS are as great as 160 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 4: Cal is, that was almost kind of like the sign 161 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 4: of Okay, something, something's got to change here. 162 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, you're definitely, you're definitely on the right 163 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 6: path when it comes to, you know, the behind the 164 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 6: scenes actions, and you know, I'm not really comfortable speaking 165 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 6: on it too much because I don't even want to 166 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 6: get involved. 167 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 3: With that type of respect shit like respect. 168 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 6: You know, I'm not a guy that's in the politics. 169 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 6: I don't want to be.

But I do 173 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 6: know the truth. I do know the ugliness of what 174 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 6: happened behind the scenes. And like I said, at the 175 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 6: end of the day, everybody loses in this situation. So 176 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 6: them going their separate ways was the best way to 177 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 6: move in a positive direction. 178 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 5: I think. I think Kyle is gonna, you know, go 179 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 5: off and be Kyle. 180 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 6: I don't think that has ever changed Kyle's impact on basketball, 181 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 6: this young generation, these young kids' lives, it'll never change. 182 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 5: That's just who Kyle is. 183 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 6: That's that's his calling, that's that's what makes him the 184 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 6: legend and the icon that he is. And when it 185 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 6: comes to UK, it's the same thing. It's a legendary spot, 186 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 6: it's a legendary university. I don't know much about Mark Pope, 187 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 6: you know, nineteen ninety six, I was six years old, 188 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 6: so I'm gonna keep it a buck. I don't know 189 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 6: much about him, but I do know he's UK family, 190 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 6: and I'm always support family. 191 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 5: You know what I mean. 192 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 6: I wish him the best. I wish him nothing but success. 193 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 6: I wish the university success. But when you really think 194 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 6: about the situation and the guys that are kind of 195 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 6: stuck in between it, it's almost like a child in. 196 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 5: A nasty divorce. He loves both parents. 197 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 6: He loves both his parents, you know what I mean, 198 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 6: And at the end of the day, the child is 199 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 6: the one that kind of ends up getting the bad 200 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 6: end of the stick. So it's a tough situation and 201 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 6: I'm definitely like stuck in the middle because, like I 202 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 6: love for both sides, but you know, I wish both 203 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 6: sides success, and I just hope everything can now move 204 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 6: in a positive direction. 205 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: One thing I do know about Mark Pope is he 206 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: was on that team when I was at Okay and 207 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: we scrimmaged the UK when I was a senior. 208 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 3: We beat them niggas, So I do remember that. 209 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: Of course, you gotta bring that up. 210 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 4: One thing that's fresh off the press is, you know 211 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 4: five star recruit k J. Wagner has jumped in the 212 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 4: transfer portal. It's gonna be interesting for me boogie on 213 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 4: the outside looking in, because obviously UCLA has had kind 214 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 4: of had a coaching marathon where they haven't been able 215 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 4: to get the kids they should be able to get. 216 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: I think it's gonna take UK a minute to recover 217 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 4: from this. I don't think kids are just gonna jump 218 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 4: to Kentucky because to me, obviously you always want to 219 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: think the university is bigger than the coach. But this 220 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 4: particular instance is many great players he's turned out. Kyl 221 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 4: was Kentucky. You know, coach Kyl was Kentucky. So I 222 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: think it's gonna take them a minute to kind of 223 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 4: find their right way and find the money you need 224 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 4: to get these kids, because you know that Arkansas is 225 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 4: that they already said the Tyson family is doing what 226 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: five million dollars towards nil, so you know they're gonna 227 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 4: be able to get some of the top kids. And 228 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 4: I think Col's gonna fit in seamless over there. 229 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 6: I just I just I don't think, you know, as 230 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 6: a basketball fan, and you know Kentucky's legendary all the 231 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 6: way back, you know, to the thirty So it's a 232 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 6: tradition there where you know what I'm saying, The name 233 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 6: on the front of the jersey is what you know 234 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 6: it's all about. But that's from a standard of back 235 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 6: in the day. Like you, kids just don't care about 236 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 6: that anymore. Kids are literally going wherever they can get 237 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 6: the money, wherever it's the coolest, wherever it's the hot. 238 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 6: It's just it's a different era of basketball. These kids 239 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 6: that are growing up don't have the same standards and 240 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 6: and and ambition and goal and drive as we did 241 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 6: when we were younger coming up. It's just a different 242 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 6: time and life evolves, the game evolves, everything evolves, and 243 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 6: you have to evolve with time or you're going to 244 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 6: get left out. I've made comments about it before and 245 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 6: it's kind of been taken as you know, I'm disrespecting 246 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 6: the university. 247 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 5: That's not my purpose and. 248 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 6: That's not my intentions, and that's not what I mean 249 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 6: by it. I'm only speaking on the current time and 250 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 6: how times have changed. And if you're not aware of that, 251 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 6: or you're not going to embrace the change, then you're 252 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 6: gonna get left behind. And as simple as that, it's 253 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 6: no knocks in the universe. It's legendary. If it stopped today, 254 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 6: it's still going to be a legendary university. But at 255 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,119 Speaker 6: the end of the day, if you want to continue 256 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 6: to find success in this program, you want to continue 257 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 6: to you know, strive for greatness and more banners. You 258 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 6: have to evolve with time and you have to embrace 259 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 6: the evolution of time and in the game. And that's 260 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 6: all my comments were really about. So, you know, a 261 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 6: lot of people took it as disrespect when I said 262 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 6: Kentucky won't be on TV. Look, man, I understand both 263 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 6: sides of this shit. It can be a fan and 264 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 6: I understand the business. I understand the business of basketball. 265 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 6: I understand the business of media. 266 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 3: The only way. 267 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 6: I don't think it's a right. I just don't think 268 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 6: it'll ever be the same when it comes to the hype. 269 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 5: The media and the push. 270 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 6: You know, being a nationally televised team. Will they find success? 271 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 6: I absolutely think so. It's done over there. The one 272 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 6: that done air is over with and. 273 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 5: I think they're okay with that. 274 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 6: I think they want a different college understanding, they want 275 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 6: a different change. But all I'm saying is you have 276 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 6: to be up to date with what's going on in 277 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 6: the now I think. 278 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 4: You you hit the key bug. And it's not only Kentucky. 279 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 4: It's all these major university that have a historical tradition 280 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 4: such as UCLA, that think the kids care about the 281 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 4: four letters across the chest or the Kentucky across the 282 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: chest or these big pro The kids don't care about 283 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 4: that shit at all. Kids don't, even with all due respect, 284 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 4: don't even know what John Wooden meant to you say. 285 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 5: They don't even know who John Wooden is, thank you. 286 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 4: So all these older schools that have decision makers who 287 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 4: are a little bit ripe, a little bit older, that 288 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 4: don't understand the kids do not care about history. They 289 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 4: don't care about tradition. All they care about is where 290 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 4: can I get a lot of money? Yet, what coach 291 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 4: is going to prepare me to get in and out 292 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 4: of this program in a year or two at most? 293 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: And what play most and dope gear? 294 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 4: Dope gear? We got some dope gear. While I'm gonna 295 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 4: be here a year or two, I'm gonna get some bread. 296 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 4: A coach is going to get me in and out 297 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: of this program. So again to your point, Boogie, they 298 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 4: do want that change. They don't because if I'm not mistaken. 299 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 4: I couldn't mistake it. I think if you give a 300 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 4: kid a scholarship and he leaves after one year, that 301 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 4: money is still gone for four If I'm not mistaken, 302 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 4: someone maybe in our background produce it. 303 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: But I know colleges do not like that. 304 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 4: Cal made that acceptable and okay, and and and you 305 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: know won a championship with it and turned a lot 306 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 4: of NBA pros out, But schools don't necessarily like that. 307 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 4: So I do think again, I think you'll get back 308 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 4: on their feet, but it's going to take a while. 309 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 4: But I think the realationship you said is kids don't 310 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 4: care about history or tradition anymore. 311 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 3: Period. 312 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 6: Just don't. That's the that's that's the facts behind it. 313 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 6: They just don't. Yep. 314 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 4: Moving on, transitioning to the end. This regular season is 315 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 4: over play and start tomorrow. Really excited about this, but 316 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: we're gonna touch on something we all know was a 317 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: part of the game when we were coming up. 318 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: The Calves bench their. 319 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 4: Starters, I think in the fourth quarter last night against 320 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 4: the Hornets to intentionally get out of that second seed. 321 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: So now that they're gonna put them in the four seed, 322 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 4: they'll play Orlando instead of playing the winner of Miami Philly. Thoughts, 323 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 4: People don't know this ship's been going on for a 324 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 4: long time. I mean, I'm jack, I remember, are we 325 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 4: believe team? I think Dallas tried to dodge us. Remember 326 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 4: they didn't play their starters at the end, and it 327 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 4: ended up coming back and biting them in the ass. 328 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 4: And you know, it's a long line of teams that 329 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 4: have kind of been able to strategically see themselves for 330 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 4: their first round matchups. Thoughts on this and thoughts on 331 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 4: what you know what the Calves did to avoid Miami 332 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: or Philly. 333 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: I mean you just, I mean basically just avoided Miami 334 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: Philly to have somebody else beat you. 335 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: In the round. That's all you did. 336 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it ain't like you you trying to play somebody 337 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: in different. 338 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: That you know you can beat to advance. You gonna 339 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: lose anyway. I don't. I don't like to losing mentality. 340 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 3: I don't mean you already in the playoffs. 341 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: That's going into the playoffs with a bad feeling, the 342 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: bad mentality with just saying I'm arrest my guys so 343 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: we can play certain guys and what that's saying about 344 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: your coach. I ain't confident against you, I ain't confident 345 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: with y'all playing against these motherfuckers. See, I don't like that. 346 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: It says a lot of things. People can say, it's 347 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 2: strategic and you got to do this, and not that. 348 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: I never was a guy that appreciated tanking. If we're 349 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: gonna have a bad season, we're gonna go out on 350 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: our We're gonna go out on our shield having a 351 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: bad season, not just laying down. That's how I always been, 352 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 2: and I've been on bad teams. But what people can 353 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: say about when I'm on bad teams, I'm still playing 354 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: one hundred ten percent like I'm on the championship team. 355 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 3: So I can never respect that Madden book. I can 356 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: never respect that. 357 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 5: I agree with Stack. 358 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 6: It's definitely a soft mentality, especially going into the playoffs. 359 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 6: Going into the playoffs, you want your confidt is how 360 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 6: you want, you want your ego in front, you want, 361 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 6: you want all these things showing that I'm ready for 362 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 6: this moment. I'm here to dominate. So that's definitely not 363 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 6: what you know. This type of move definitely doesn't show that. 364 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 6: It's showing that there is a fear that we're not 365 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 6: good enough, which is a horrible mentality, and I. 366 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 5: Don't know, it's just a bad look. 367 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 6: But in a way, you can sit here and say 368 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 6: it's strategic because when you look at these standards, Miami 369 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 6: is Miami will always be longest, Jimmy Butler and Bam 370 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 6: it's on that squad. Miami will always be the most 371 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 6: dangerous team once it comes to the playoffs. That's just 372 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 6: the facts simple. So I know every team in the 373 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 6: East is ship. I believe every team in the East 374 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 6: is thinking this way. Maybe outside of Boston especially absolutely, 375 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 6: but I think every team in the East is thinking 376 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 6: that way because Miami this is their time of year, 377 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 6: and we all know what they do once it comes 378 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 6: to you know, Philly and and and then MB I 379 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 6: think the Calves, No, it's no with that. Then you 380 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 6: know front court they have and I don't think they 381 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 6: have the confidence and are we able to contain or 382 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 6: even really go to battle with Embiid and Post. 383 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 5: I don't think they have that type of mentality or 384 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 5: that type of confidence. 385 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 6: So I think it's shown and you know, I think 386 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 6: they like that chances better against Orlando, but I don't 387 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:28,239 Speaker 6: necessarily feel that Orlando beat. Yeah, they're not sweet, but 388 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 6: it's two young teams trying to find their way. I 389 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 6: think this is actually going to be a really, really 390 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 6: good fucking series. So I'm still excited about it. Two teams, 391 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 6: two young teams trying to figure it out, trying to 392 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 6: get to that next step, make that next jump, and 393 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 6: you know, becoming a championship caliber team. So it will 394 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 6: be an exciting series. But I'm with Stack. I just 395 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 6: can't agree with that mindset or mentality going into the playoffs. 396 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 4: So while we're on Cleveland, I mean, obviously it's about 397 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 4: who's hot at the right time. Cleveland heading into the 398 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 4: playoffs is four and six in their last ten and 399 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 4: then Orlando five and five, so they're playing similar basketball. 400 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 4: But when I think about Cleveland, I think there's there's 401 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: going to be a move this summer. If they don't 402 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 4: make a move, if they don't make a run, I 403 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 4: think they're kind of stuck in the Damian Lillard, CJ McCullum. 404 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 4: Can these small guards work together. They haven't been able to. 405 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 4: Although Garland's been hurt a lot, these guys just haven't 406 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 4: been able to put it together. So I think if 407 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 4: they don't make a move, which I mean if they 408 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 4: don't make a run, which I don't really think they will. 409 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: I think Donovan Mitchell's gone. 410 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 4: I think the Riotings are already on the wall that 411 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 4: he's out of there. Also another thing I wanted to 412 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 4: touch on real quick too. Both these shit Phillies won 413 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 4: eight straight, eight and two in their last ten and 414 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 4: then Miami's seven and three in their last hand. So 415 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 4: both these lower seeds are hungry and going to be scary, 416 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 4: particularly you know that second seed. But then also you 417 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 4: look at Milwaukee and I just read something this morning 418 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: that Giannis is doing everything he can to rehab his calf. 419 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 4: But calves are tricky, especially just like the season, the 420 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 4: calf are really as as as as much as he 421 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 4: used his stride and his athleticism and his length. If 422 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 4: Jannis isn't healthy, they're gone in the first round. 423 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 6: And it can all that calf strain can always lead 424 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 6: to worse, if you know what I mean. So so 425 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 6: you have fortunately have to be have to protect that 426 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 6: very sensitive he is injured. Bro, this isn't something you 427 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 6: can just rush back from. Kevin Durantz, calf strain turned. 428 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 4: Into an ad calf strain turned into an achilles and 429 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 4: and like I said, Giannis is one of these guys 430 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 4: that needs to be fully healthy on his lower half 431 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 4: to to get going. So you look at that that 432 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 4: that uh that Indie Milwaukee, uh and and and and 433 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 4: Indie's playing good basketball right now. 434 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: These young guys are hungry. 435 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 4: Pascal and these boys and and Halliburtons, So it's gonna 436 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 4: be interesting. One thing Mike Greenberg said too, as we 437 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 4: switched to the Western coronfheence is that the Lakers should 438 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 4: rest Lebron James and Anthony Davis to tank. First the 439 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 4: Pelicans the winner that place Denver, and then they figured 440 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 4: the Lakers would win. 441 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: Between that. 442 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 4: They think the Lakers are going to beat Sacramento Golden 443 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 4: State to get that eight seed and play Oklahoma City. 444 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 4: So again, strategic scared thoughts. What do you guys think 445 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 4: about that? How is that even an option to even 446 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 4: think about? 447 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: When you're talking about you have the so say, best 448 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 2: player of all time and you're gonna tank with him 449 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 2: like that? 450 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 3: It don't even sound. 451 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 2: Right like the people who some people just shut up, bro, 452 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: that's just frustrating. 453 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: Tell him, are you mad Son? 454 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 4: But on the flip side, Jack, can the Laker? I mean, 455 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 4: if I'm trying to make a run. They know bronze 456 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 4: windows closed, and we all know bronze windows closing. If 457 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 4: I'm trying to make a run, I'm definitely not trying 458 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 4: to see Denver in the first round. I would rather 459 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 4: see one of them other two young teams in the 460 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 4: first round if I possibly could. 461 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: We didn't want to see Dallas in the first round either, 462 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 2: but we did, no, I thought we did want to 463 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: see Dallas. I'm just saying, like, nobody wants to play 464 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: the one seed, bro nobody. 465 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 4: Now, somebody's different, different in this in this okay, see 466 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 4: is the one seed. People aren't tripping off the one seed, 467 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 4: off the two seed. 468 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 2: But my point is, regardless who the team one or 469 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 2: two you're playing, dever, it don't matter. This is the 470 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: playoffs you gotta go through. You gotta play three rounds regardless. 471 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, and trying to try to 472 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: pick your team, and I just don't like that suit 473 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 2: up whoever whoever won and two I mean one in 474 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: eight y'all play. I don't give a who it is. 475 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: If we got a chance to get in the playoffs, 476 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 2: that's what we need to be worrying about, not who 477 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 2: were playing. Once we get in, let's get in first, 478 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: then we worry about that ship. 479 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 3: That's the attitude. That's how it should be. 480 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 5: I feel you on that stack. 481 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 6: But at the same time, I feel like you're only 482 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 6: viewing it from a player's perspective. 483 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 3: That's all I am. I can never beat them cornballs. 484 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 6: I understand when you think about these coaches, I don't think. 485 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 5: I don't. I don't think every coach is a cornball. 486 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 6: We got some formal players that's actually been through the 487 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 6: trenches and now in that position, so I can't say 488 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 6: every coach is Darvingham. 489 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 5: I don't feel like it's a cornball. 490 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 3: He's He's not a cornball. 491 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 5: You want it out, you know what I mean. 492 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 6: So it is, But when you think about it from 493 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 6: their perspective, it's a big difference between having a first 494 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 6: round exit and say second or third round exit, you 495 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 6: know what I mean. 496 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 3: So what's the difference. 497 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 5: A couple of dollars ship an extension. 498 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 6: Darvinham get his ass sent out in the first round 499 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 6: and he's on the chopping block. He make it to 500 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 6: the third or second round, it's more chance for him, 501 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 6: a little more life with the with the Lakers, organization. 502 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 3: So I think it's I think it's championship or bus 503 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 3: at l a man. 504 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 5: Well ship. The closer you all, the better, in my opinion. 505 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: I agree, I agree, So I. 506 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 6: Think about it from that standpoint too. I think once, 507 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 6: I think, once you know, you start seeing teams do 508 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 6: these strategic moves to you know, let's lose here or 509 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 6: make sure we win here so we can play this team. 510 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 6: I don't think that's necessarily a player's mindset, you know 511 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 6: what I'm saying. I think, and we all know how 512 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 6: this shit go. We don't make the decisions. We just 513 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 6: got to go out and point at the end of 514 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 6: the day, though the coach pulled Cleveland starting five, not 515 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 6: the players didn't say they wanted to come out. 516 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 5: The coach didn't that. 517 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 6: So at the end of the day, some things are 518 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 6: in control for us and some are not. And I 519 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 6: think this is an instance where it's not. I think 520 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 6: every player, for the most part, has that mindset, or 521 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 6: at least wants to have that mindset going into the playoffs. 522 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 6: We topped all we confident this fucking we ain't worry 523 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 6: about who in front of him. 524 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 5: We running through a wall on these motherfuckers. I think 525 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 5: that's two of the. 526 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 3: Best players in the league. 527 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 6: And oh, I'm pretty sure that bron don't give a 528 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 6: fuck COOLi fact, Brun has seen every type monster in 529 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 6: this league since he stopped putting this shit. I don't 530 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 6: think he gives a fuck about Denver bro But at 531 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 6: the end of the day, Rob Polinka, do Darvin Ham 532 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 6: does Jeanie Bust? 533 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 5: They care? They care shit. I want to make it 534 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 5: look like we had a successful season. 535 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 6: Hey, let's avoid them for the first round. 536 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 5: Slider to the second. Possibly see him in the conference. 537 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 6: It makes think it till you make it go on 538 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 6: fake absolutely absolutely, but. 539 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: We gotta make it. 540 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 4: Another team that's playing really good basketball right now. Shout 541 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 4: out Grayson Allen and his new deal just came across 542 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 4: the wire, shouting for just got a four year, seventy 543 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 4: million dollar deal, could be seventy nine with incentives. Had 544 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 4: a career year, shot the shit out of the ball 545 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 4: from the three point line and has been an integral 546 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 4: part for this Phoenix team who's kind of been up 547 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 4: and down with Bradley Beal not really playing a lot, 548 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 4: you know, in and out. But Phoenix over their last 549 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 4: ten and seven and three they had the hardest remaining 550 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 4: schedule in the league to close out the season, and 551 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 4: they beat the Wolves twice. They beat Denver, they beat 552 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 4: the Clippers, they beat the Kings. Phoenix will play Minnesota 553 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 4: in this first round. They've dominated over the last two 554 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 4: seasons six and one first Minnesota. Are we buying that 555 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 4: Phoenix can get hot at the right time and make 556 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 4: a run in this Western Conference playoffs? 557 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: Only way you're not buying that is if you ain't 558 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: got no money so. 559 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 4: You're writing so you don't you think they have the 560 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 4: depth Jack and and you know obviously they got the 561 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 4: star power up top. 562 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: You think they have the depth to make a run 563 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: in the Western Conference. 564 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 2: Man, when you got KD and Booker and Bill and 565 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: a team like that, dog, I like my chances going 566 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 2: to the playoffs against anybody. 567 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 3: They can get high. 568 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: You see they getting high right now, they're getting hurt 569 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: at the right time. You want to play like this 570 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 2: going into the playoffs, right you just gave or bought 571 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: the money. 572 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 3: Now you got another player on the team happy. 573 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, bro, if you want to worry about 574 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: any tam in the playoffs, like were talking about Miami, 575 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: you better worry about KD. 576 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: And Booker. 577 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: Bookie, you agree, I do. 578 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 6: On paper, I think they got the talent. They obviously 579 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 6: had the person there. They got legendary players on the team, 580 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 6: uh you know, one solid Hall of Famer and KD 581 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 6: two guys potentially I think book would be one Bill 582 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 6: will see what happens, potentially another Hall of Famer. So 583 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 6: on paper, they got that. But uh, you know, this 584 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 6: has been a very inconsistent team all year. They just 585 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 6: now kind of found their stride. You know, I've heard 586 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 6: rumblings where it's not as you know, peachy and clean 587 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 6: over there as you think, and for the most part, 588 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 6: the big three that they have aren't really on the 589 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 6: same page. So I've gotten that information. But you know, 590 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 6: maybe they played good basketball down the stretch. Maybe they 591 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 6: have found that chemistry. Maybe they have, you know, finally 592 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 6: sat down and got on the same page. And I 593 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 6: think it would be the right time going into the playoffs. So, 594 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 6: like I said, this team has been very inconsistent. Minnesota 595 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 6: ain't no hole. Kat will be returning for the playoffs, 596 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 6: so that's that's a plus for Minnesota. And I think 597 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 6: that young team is hungy. I'm a huge fan of 598 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 6: Anthony Edwards. He got that dogmin tyler that you know 599 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 6: Stack has spoke about, Matt, you play with myself. He's 600 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 6: that old school style type of player, which which I 601 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 6: enjoy to watch. So I don't think you know, Minnesota 602 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 6: is a pushover a hole, So this would be a 603 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 6: great series. 604 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 5: I love the J McDaniels KD matchup. 605 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 6: Sixt eleven offensive force of it's a sixty eleven defensive dynamite. 606 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 6: So this is gonna be great for TV, great for 607 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 6: the sport. I think these guys gonna really go out 608 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 6: there in battle. You got a ship, a big ship 609 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 6: talking and Edwards you got a big ship talking and 610 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 6: Devin Booker. Katie can get in that mode as well. 611 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 6: So shit, the last game they got a little chippy 612 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 6: between Bill and Edwards. So I think this is gonna 613 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 6: be a good series. It's gonna be a lot of fireworks, 614 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 6: and I think at the end of the day, the 615 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 6: best team will win. 616 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: Matt. 617 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Matt, do you think 618 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: when they asked Katie doing the season what his future 619 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: looked like in Phoenix, he said, I'm not sure you 620 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: think that started up some ship. 621 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 3: It could It couldn't have. 622 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 4: I mean, you look at his track record, he's not 623 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 4: He's someone who's not scared to make a move. So 624 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 4: I think, you know, I think him and Lebron are 625 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 4: very Strachichi as far as not you know, promising the world. 626 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 4: I'm not guaranteeing shit and. 627 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: See what happens. 628 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 4: But I think at the end of the day, you know, 629 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 4: they've had success against Minnesota. Minuneso is one of these 630 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 4: younger teams still trying to find their identity. But regardless, 631 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 4: second round, you're gonna see them boys from Colorado. So 632 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: I could see. I could definitely see this being a 633 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 4: great series. As you said, book, I can see Phoenix 634 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 4: coming out of it. But the bus could stop in 635 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 4: that second round because you know, I just think this 636 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 4: Denver team has been playing their role. They haven't been 637 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 4: too high, they haven't been too low, they haven't been 638 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 4: really worried about their seed, and they found themselves with 639 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 4: the first tied for the first best record in the 640 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 4: Western Conference, so they've kind of they're saving everything for now, 641 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 4: so they ordered the fifthy champs. So you know, I 642 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 4: love this first round matchup of Minnesota and Phoenix for 643 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 4: everything you said, Boogie, but I think the train is 644 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 4: going to stop for both these teams in the second round. 645 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 4: Moving on, we want to hand out some flowers first 646 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 4: and foremost to our brother Russell Rustbrook, just for what 647 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 4: he's been able to do man someone of his caliber. 648 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 4: And it's not easy, you know, Boogie, you're a superstar 649 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 4: to humble yourself and buy into something at the end 650 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 4: of a Hall of Fame career, when everyone said this 651 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 4: dude is stubborn. He can't do this, he can't do that. 652 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 4: You know, Steven A. Smith said, this is the beginning 653 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 4: of the end. I think that fat that fat fuck. 654 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 4: What's his name? Jason Whitlock called eight. Yeah, Jason Shitlock 655 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 4: called him. Called Russ the ab of the of the NBA, 656 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 4: the Antonio Brown of the NBA. So just a lot 657 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 4: of disrespect has gone out to Russ. But all he's 658 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 4: done is made the Clippers better. They're forty five and 659 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 4: twenty three when he's on the court, six and eight 660 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 4: without him. Although he has career lows and in statistical categories, 661 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 4: I think that's obviously just just due to opportunity him 662 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 4: buying in and then the minutes. You know, he's also 663 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 4: got career low in minutes, but you know, still explosives, 664 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 4: still a double digit score, someone that can explode in 665 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 4: the playoffs, he always plays well. So thoughts on just 666 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 4: Russ and and and the way he's been able to 667 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 4: kind of buy in and recreated self and and still 668 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 4: be very effective coming off the bench for the Clippers. 669 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 6: Well, for me, I think Russ's impact on any team 670 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 6: is way bigger than you know, just what he does 671 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 6: on the floor. It has been well documented that Russ 672 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 6: is one of the best leaders to be in the 673 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 6: league and actually lead teams. We saw what he did 674 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 6: when you know, Kevin Durant left, Okay, See, we saw 675 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 6: how he led that organization to and they still found 676 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 6: ways to find success. We saw how he reacted to 677 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 6: that with the MVP season. So this is who Russ is. 678 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 6: He's a natural born leader. He's he's a positive energy 679 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 6: on any team. And I think that energy that that 680 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 6: he brings to the team is just contagious. It puts 681 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 6: batteries in everybody's back. So, and it's evident with how 682 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 6: you know the clip. Once once Russ went down the Clippers, 683 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 6: they started struggling. They start they could, they became very inconsistent. 684 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 6: So I think Russ just his presence alone uplifts any 685 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 6: team and you know that's just credit to him. That's 686 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 6: like I said, that's the sign of a natural born leader, 687 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 6: and he's shown it time and time again. 688 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 4: And before real quick Jack, I want to say too, 689 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 4: I just don't think he's eleven five and five. The 690 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 4: numbers don't represent his full impact. As you said, Buck, 691 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 4: it's a leadership, it's a mentorship, it's stuff he gives 692 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,959 Speaker 4: people the juice that I think sometimes they don't have 693 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 4: that they need from Russ, because you know, Russ is 694 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 4: a ball of energy and we all know that energy 695 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 4: is contagious. You know, I just think having him around 696 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 4: this big. But Jack thoughts. I know you're a big 697 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 4: fan of Rush. You've been actually in contact with him 698 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 4: trying to get him on the show. But give him 699 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 4: his flowers, bro. 700 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 2: Man, you know I'm a big time Rush fan, And 701 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: just think about that. You add five, you give him 702 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: two more minutes a game. That's fifteen five and five. 703 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 2: That's six man at a year, you know what I'm saying, Like, 704 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 2: you just just think about that. Fifteen five and five 705 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 2: off the bench, Bro, that's crazy. That's not nothing that 706 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: every bench player is doing. You got bench players that. 707 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 3: Come off the bench and finished games. 708 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: Matt played the whole full quarters and they don't finish 709 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 2: with fifteen five and five. 710 00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 3: So as an average off the bench, that's the pressed 711 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 3: to me. 712 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 2: But just but not not only what you talking about Matt, 713 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: the fact that he could just switch it to becoming 714 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: coming off the bench and still be a professional, but 715 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: just knowing that you have more on the tank, just 716 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 2: knowing that you're over there watching guys that you better than, 717 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 2: just knowing that you're going to the Hall of Fame 718 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: for something. 719 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 3: You might not be the player. 720 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 2: That you was when you came to the league, but 721 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 2: you can still go out there and be a better 722 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 2: player than eighty percent of the guys in the league 723 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 2: right now. 724 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 3: Just knowing that and still be able to go out 725 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 3: there and and and and and and put. 726 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 2: Your pride aside and go out there when you're a 727 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,719 Speaker 2: player like Russell Westbrook all time triple double leader, like 728 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 2: it's crazy to be that person and and to put 729 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: yourself all of a sudden as a bench player coming 730 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 2: off the bench not being respected. I was never that athlete. 731 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 2: I was never Russell Westbrook, not even close. But I 732 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: couldn't get I didn't want to come out the game 733 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 2: and being disrespected because I felt like I was better 734 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 2: than the niggas out there. So for Russman, I give 735 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 2: him all the flowers in the world, all the respect 736 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 2: in the world.

Obviously he had a great run. 838 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,760 Speaker 4: It's been overshadowed by Winby's greatness, and I'm sure everyone 839 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 4: is in agreeance that Winby will win Rookie of the Year. 840 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 4: But you know, for Honger and to come back his 841 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 4: first year and put up sixteen to seven two and 842 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 4: a half blocks a game, one of only four rookies 843 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 4: since two thousand to have those numbers. Winby being the 844 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 4: other Embiid and Palgosola the other two. But you know, 845 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 4: this guy is an integral part of that team, one 846 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 4: of the main reasons why they're sitting up in that 847 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 4: one seed, and just really happy for them and a 848 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 4: little piece of history. Okay, see is the youngest number 849 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 4: one one seed in NBA history. Do you guys see, 850 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 4: as great as the season's been, they got their feet 851 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 4: wet now. 852 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 3: You know. 853 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 4: Obviously Sga is in the MVP conversation. I don't know 854 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 4: if he'll get it, but he very well should win it. 855 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 4: He Barry Belle should win it. 856 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: Can you see them making noise in this Western Conference? 857 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 2: The only reason I can mad because the game slow 858 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 2: down in the playoffs, And I think when the game 859 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 2: slow down, that benefits the shit out of Shy. You 860 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 2: already can't speed him up, you know what I'm saying, 861 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 2: the game slow down. I think I think he's one 862 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 2: of the smartest basketball players at taking advantage of each 863 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 2: possession when he got the ball. 864 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 3: So I think that's gonna benefit them. 865 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 2: They definitely can make some noise being at home all 866 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 2: the playoffs, their young teams will being at home is 867 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 2: gonna benefit them. Uh, and then you're more confident at 868 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 2: home being in your first playoffs, So I love it. 869 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 2: I think I think they can make some noise. Not 870 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 2: saying they gonna win it, but they got a good chance. 871 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 5: I think they got a great chance as well. I mean, 872 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 5: that's it. 873 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 6: One thing that stands out to me the most about 874 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 6: this young team is just the chemistry and the way 875 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 6: they enjoy being teammates. 876 00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: And they look like they really fuck with each other. 877 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 6: That can't go unnoiced, Bro, Like that type of chemistry 878 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 6: can take you so fucking far in the playoffs. 879 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 3: Bro. 880 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 6: That closeness, that can togetherness can really, you know, elevate 881 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 6: this team to a new height. And it kind of 882 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 6: reminds me of that young OK team James Harden and Rush. 883 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 6: They have that same type viob, you know what I mean. 884 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,959 Speaker 6: So uh, I think Chess is a big part of that. 885 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 5: Ship. 886 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 6: I can potentially, as of right now, you can say 887 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 6: he's the third best player on the team. Long term, 888 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 6: I could potentially see him being a one or two 889 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 6: on that team, you know what I mean. I think 890 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 6: he's got that much talent. And I still don't think 891 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 6: he necessarily has found his game as of right now. 892 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 6: He's fitting in. Yeah, I still don't think he's necessarily 893 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 6: found his game. 894 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 5: Like he's wrong. 895 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 6: Absolutely. So I think that kid is full of potential. 896 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 6: As great as Winby is. I think this kid can 897 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 6: be just as great and it's. 898 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 3: Just a time. 899 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 4: I really like you, and I think obviously Wenby's greatness 900 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 4: of what he's been able to do kind of overshadow 901 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 4: what Chet's been doing. 902 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: But Chet's was neck and neck. It's been having a 903 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 1: great year. 904 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 4: This young and I don't want to knock either of these, 905 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 4: whether it be OKAC or Minnesota who both had great years. 906 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: I just have to see it. 907 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 4: I have to see it in the playoffs because these 908 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 4: are young teams and we all know that veteran, veteran 909 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 4: experience always kind of is the trump card when it 910 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 4: comes to the playoffs. But yeah, I mean, okay, see 911 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 4: behind Shay and this young crew. But sometimes on the 912 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 4: flip side, being young and dumb, and I don't mean 913 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 4: dumb in a bad way, you don't really know what 914 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,479 Speaker 4: you're supposed to do or not that you just start 915 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 4: going out there and playing hard basketball. So sometimes being 916 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 4: young and work in your favorite because you're not worried 917 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 4: about history, you're not worried about shit but getting out 918 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 4: there and hooping. So I'm excited to see yeah, But 919 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 4: also on the flip side, you think about it, fellas 920 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 4: if it is they do play the Lakers or they 921 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 4: do play a Golden State in the first round. I 922 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 4: think there's gonna be a lot of teams that, maybe 923 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 4: not against Golden State, but I think if it's a 924 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 4: one eight matchup with ok seeing the Lakers, it'll be 925 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 4: it's gonna be interesting. So I'm excited to see with this, 926 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 4: you know, with these planes get started, but you know 927 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 4: what comes out of it, because there's two of the 928 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 4: top three teams in the Western Conference are young, very talented, 929 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 4: but young, and the two teams that are trying to 930 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 4: get to where they're at or experienced teams with Hall 931 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 4: of Famers on them. So I think it's gonna be 932 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,280 Speaker 4: really interesting. 933 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 2: I don't care who the Lakers played in the first round. 934 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 2: I don't see Braun getting to be about the first round. 935 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 2: I don't give who they played that. I just can't 936 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 2: see it. Not the first round. He ain't trying to 937 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 2: deal with that. He ain't nah. I just don't see 938 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 2: Braun letting himself go out the first round. I don't 939 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 2: give fuck how old he is. He's still better than 940 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 2: all the motherfuckers. 941 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:42,959 Speaker 1: Fu fucker's burn. 942 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 4: As we you know, as you bring up bron we 943 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 4: wanted to you know, year twenty one, I mean, we 944 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 4: look back on the year that Lebron James has had 945 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five point seven points a game, eight point 946 00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 4: three assists a game, seven point three reb a game. 947 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 3: At ninety at how old is he fifty? 948 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 4: This dude is this dude is about to you know, 949 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 4: is it about to be forty years old at the 950 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 4: end of this year? If I'm not mistaken, h Man, 951 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 4: just salute year twenty one. And I wish we had 952 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,399 Speaker 4: these comparisons because I saw him a few weeks back 953 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 4: at guys in their twenty first year and what they 954 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 4: averaged it was ugly. It wasn't even close. I think 955 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 4: Lebron averages more than all them put together. So salute 956 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 4: to the king what he's been able to do. He 957 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 4: just had a monster triple double the other day. But 958 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 4: I agree with you, Jack. If the Lakers get in, 959 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 4: which I think they will, I don't see Bron going 960 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 4: out in that first round. I just don't unless they 961 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 4: play Denver. 962 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 2: You know, you know, you know what my body told 963 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 2: me when I was forwarded.

I mean, 1040 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 6: as a fan of hip hop, this is what I 1041 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 6: want to see. I think the fact that we got 1042 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 6: all the top dogs in the game outside of you know, 1043 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 6: Jay and Yay, we got the top dogs currently in 1044 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,959 Speaker 6: the game right now, all in competition. Like that's great 1045 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 6: for the fans, it's great for music. And like you said, 1046 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 6: I hope it remains on Wax, you know what I mean, 1047 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 6: And I think it will because we're dealing with a 1048 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 6: different caliber of rappers. These are guys that have been 1049 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 6: in the game a long time. They understand the ups 1050 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 6: and downs of the business. They understand competition. They understand 1051 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 6: how to turn a bad situation into a good one, 1052 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 6: which I think all these rappers are doing right now. 1053 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,280 Speaker 6: They're gonna keep us entertained, they're gonna think, they're gonna 1054 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 6: make us think they don't, you know, get along. But 1055 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 6: I think at the end of the day, they know 1056 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 6: they're all gonna benefit from this situation, which is, you know, 1057 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 6: a dope thing.
