I've never done nothing like that. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.080 That was real cool. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.280 How many of those not done? 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:14.880 I think we did like two or three of them. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:15.720 It's been good. 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.239 But what we did in the other room, the House 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.240 of Blues room, Yeah, where it's like the couches and 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.600 they were on the stage like that was. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:24.720 A little more formal. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.960 That was formal, a little more formal because they like 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:28.400 right here there, that's what I'm saying. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:29.160 And then know what I'm saying. 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.240 I walked out to grab I mean we did like 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.720 the BENMGM predictions up before the game, and then that 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.280 went live and then I went to the back like 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.560 to grab napkins or you know, chill.

Man, that's what's up man? 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:55.240 All right. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.680 First thing I want to ask you about six Ers. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.000 Bucks opened up their season. We had no NB, no PG, 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.840 Jannis Dame play. Well, what are your just kind of 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.040 thoughts on the first game of the season. Your top 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.840 two stars is just not available to. 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.960 Play When I look like, this is what I don't understand, 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.080 Like it's the start of the season and you got 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:20.080 guys out, like I understand, Like Paul George he had 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.880 dealt with a hyper extension in the preseason. I get it, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.920 but like and B played in the Olympics, So I'm 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.839 trying to figure out from the Olympics until now, how 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.880 he's not available for the start of the season. First 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.160 you come out and say we're not playing back to backs, 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.400 and then you're not even available for game one. So 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.000 I'm just trying to see, like who the advisors, who 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.440 the doctors, who the physical theory, who is these people 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.760 and who's in these guys. Ear, It's it's just I 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.960 don't I'm just not feeling it, you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.880 it's the start of the year. You got new pieces, 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.039 you want to start developing in your chemistry. That's just 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.920 how it always start, you know. You know, I'm like, look, 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.279 we come in the season. We got to get our 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:10.160 ship together early because if you don't, then we're gonna 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.479 behind the eight ball, you know what I'm saying. Like, 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.560 it's just that I feel like they got like a 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.200 laid back approach to the game now. You know, it's 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.680 no urgency to like, like, man wealthy. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.800 I think if I let you, you will, Yeah, you 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:31.160 feel me like and but it ain't. We don't come 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.200 from I lit you. We we took controller r talking 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.760 about us. We're not talking about it. It's just frustrating 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.320 because you know, it's frustrating watching the league. 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.839 Yeah, all took pride in build the league up. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:47.040 Just frustrated. So listen, this is precautionary. This is today's world, 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.040 you know, in the world of where we live in 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.840 now to where if you get if you listen, if 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.040 you hurt your leg and I say, you got two 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.760 weeks to heal, but you know what, if you can 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.360 come back shortly, give me that you got the right 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.280 to take the whole oh two weeks, right, Okay, So 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.120 I'm gonna come back when my ship, when I feel 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.400 like mine shit is good. You know, it might be 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.640 good in two days. It might be different for everybody else, 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.720 And everybody else is under different windows, and you know what, 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.279 so much other stuff comes into the play. My point 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:22.080 is this bro that's not gonna get what you always 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.960 tell me, man, him taking his time off is not 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.599 always gonna guarantee anything. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:27.600 It's not gonna get to you. 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.600 And that's the problem. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:29.960 That's what. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.360 If it's not gonna give me extra something, then why 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:33.359 the fuck are we doing it? 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:33.839 Pete? 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.160 If I'm taking five more days or I'm taking whatever. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.440 So I could be ready down the line. I don't 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:40.400 understand why these. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.080 Kids are not ready, Why these guys are not ready 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.120 to get start at the start of the year, but 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.000 you are. And then two, I'm saying, some guys who 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.480 didn't even make the playoffs still not ready, still not ready. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.719 So yeah, this is where we're at. So I'm looking 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.200 like this when they said embiid and George wasn't playing, 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.360 immediately focused on Maxi and imediately focused on the other team. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.760 And see what these guys look like without their stars. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:09.040 They're gritty, they're fight, they gonna play defense, and Maxie 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.920 is been coming into his own confidence. I had to 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.280 sit back and I watched Maxi, But man, I was 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:18.119 watching the Bucks. Jannis looks good. I was worried about 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.400 his health. I was worried about his debility. I watched 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.120 him in the Olympics. He plays the same way. You 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:28.040 already know that style breaks you down. I know that firsthand, right, Yeah, 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.920 so I wanted to see how he was. 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.520 Pete he looked good, Dame look good. And you know 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:34.920 what I ain't nobody talking about. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:35.920 You don't hear the Bucks. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:37.640 We've been talking about Lando. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.920 We've been talking about Philly, We've been talking about Cleveland, 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.080 we've been talking about the Knicks. We ain't talked about Milwaukee. 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.240 So I wanted to see what Milwaukee looked like. In 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.000 Milwaukee looked really good. I don't know if they got 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.119 that third piece though, they need that third piece. 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:53.239 Middleton's out again. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.320 Well, you know, give me your two cent on now 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.480 what you think of that Middleton out again, Sophie. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.920 I think they window is slowly closing because they I 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.880 think like he was a huge piece to the champions 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.840 championship run and like Dame is getting older, you got 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.680 Yanni still in his prime, like you need. I think 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.080 they one piece away, Like they don't even have to 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.240 be a major piece, just somebody you can count on 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.520 to be consistent every night. And that's what Middleton was. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.720 So who's gonna be that third guy for them to 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.760 put them back into contender uh zone? Because right now 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.360 I think they a tier below a contender right now. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.040 They need like a Tobias Harris, somebody that could just say, like, 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:35.040 like you know, how he come in. 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.000 Yeah, somebody was consistent, like fifteen or eighteen type that 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.800 like on any given on one of them nights. You 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.040 know what I'm saying. They need something like that to 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.200 be able to compete for contention. 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.520 Trent Junior be that guy at one point. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.720 Yeah, I was watching last night. Look was given, he 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.160 was on some defense. He was he was given a 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.120 defensive effort to where I was like, oh, yeah, he 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.319 brings another level. He can be consistent. Yeah you know 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.280 what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, shot to g Junior. Man, 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.040 he got that flame. He can he can, he can 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.000 be that piece they looking for. Don't forget about brook 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.319 Lopez too, Brook low Pez. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.200 And god damn you know. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.360 Yeah, so yeah, I'm I'm eager to see the bucks 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.200 in the mix. Also watched the Calfs last night. Not 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.720 to be ahead of you, the one teams looked good 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:27.400 because when Mobley, when Mobley was when Mobley's giving you 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.880 like twenty three and ten or nine man to go 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.720 with Garlands, uh, twenty and ten on the sitts and 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.160 then spite of being Spider having thirty plus or something. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:44.520 Bro man, it's just a consistency p you know.

But I 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.400 was I looked at Philly like, yeah, until you until 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.199 you see the two stars out here. You know, y'all 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.800 know if they're gonna be in that level, on that level. Yeah, 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.720 and guess what when you don't play, that's one less rhythm. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.319 That's can Newty is probably one of the biggest rushing 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.600 march and the biggest misunderstandings in our game. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:04.840 Bro. Like, it's so. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.440 When they get together, since they didn't play pieces are together, 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.920 they gonna need about fifteen to twenty games practices, man 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.000 practices to like really trying to figure out who they are. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.079 We don't know what that's gonna be. But then if 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.199 you if neither one of your stars is playing back 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.360 to back, it's gonna be hard for me to put 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.880 Philly in that upper epsom in the conversation. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:25.880 That's the question I had for you guys is like 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.040 you guys personally, when you guys were playing in your career, 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.080 what was the most important aspect at the beginning of 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.960 the season. Was it rhythm? Was it winning? Was it connectivity? 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.480 Like what's the key focus when you're kind of starting 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:36.080 the season early? 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:43.280 He would call us around August twentieth, like, Yo, where 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.640 you at you in Lay? Just come up meet me 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.800 up at UCLA. I've been up there for about a 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.719 week now, and he was on. He wasn't on, more like, hey, 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.520 let's be on the same team because you know we're 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.400 going up through the UCLA. First he probably be on 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.440 that team. But then we started getting into it. Come on, 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.280 take it. We were running together and it was just 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.720 about where he want to pick set what he was 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.120 working on, putting together on what I was working on. 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.600 And you know, God, we weren't winning all the games 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.719 up there. We would lose, but he and I was 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:13.320 working on all continuity, the slip pass versus the overhead pass. Yeah, 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.560 so like all that ship now I don't like, I 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:16.680 like my damn saying. 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.080 So we had to get that. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.000 When we first got the Boston you know, usually you know, 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.600 when teams get to the training camp early September, you 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.120 played a couple of pickup games two weeks before training camp. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.800 That's like September seventeen, like, you know, so we all 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:33.480 out there early, and usually we usually mix the teams up. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.480 So we go out there the first pickup game, I'm like, 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.360 we're like, what's the teams. I'm like, okay, it's gonna 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.040 be we ticket Ray I was usually you mixed up 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:42.880 the teams. I was like, nah, we're playing together now. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.480 They wanted it though. The team was like no, no, 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.439 we're cool with that. It was like damn, y'all know. 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.800 I was like, I was like, no, we're all gonna play. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.000 So we're trying to get our ship together. So we 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.640 started on the same pickup team playing and I remember 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.880 the first pickup game we kept overpassing to each other 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:01.880 just try to like just you know. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:04.559 It was like damn, because this is like. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.599 Coming Ray coming off. I'm like, dam I had a 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.120 guard this. I'm building it to him now, you know 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.200 what I'm saying. I'm up for sting to pick for Paul, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.120 and I had to guard this on this, you know 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.760 what I'm saying. So it was like holy ship. 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.600 But that's the most important part. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.119 It's just getting it on when you got new teammates 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.680 and then it's like guys that that you can lean 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:21.160 on too. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.560 And it's fun. Yes, it's fun because he'd be like 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.360 take it, get out up, like let me get a 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.600 little funk going there. I'm giving folk this working funk funk. 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.439 You little like come down, He'll come down, pick and 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.160 roll from you. Your big fellow here and then it'd 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.360 be scaled. I'll play about I would play against four 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.600 different styles in those runs too, style baby parent leon 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.480 and all four give it and then you got t 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.360 a y'll flip around guard part like it was Bro. Continuity, Bro. 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.839 And that's one of the more important thing. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.200 That's the reason we came out the gate so fast, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.360 and we won it in the first year because we 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:56.439 started that early. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:57.520 And you know what we did. 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.600 Man, While we was doing that, Tills would come down 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.280 and take thirty minutes and do some defense. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.000 We're like, man, we ain't doing no goddamn defense. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.559 He said, Man, just just trust me. Men, you'll trust me, men, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.079 do to do this right here, Okay, this what we're 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.800 gonna do, and he'll walk us through it right and 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.960 we'll do it at a medium speed. By the time 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.160 we got the China camp, man, we was already on 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:21.480 that drill. That drill took two minutes. Oh THEO go Bro. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.480 We was By the time we got to Italy, Man, 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.840 we felt like we had been together right for right 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.320 and then we were hanging out, chilling, eating, going to dinner, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.920 doing whatever teams do it man, tourings and walk in 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:39.560 the street Man, when you see that team. 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.840 Right there, We'll see that team right there. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.800 That looks like feels like family. They fuck with each other. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.319 And I ain't trying to say that all our interactions 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.679 were good. We arguing, We were debating. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.160 Man, we was because you know we all you know 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:53.640 what I'm saying. 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.439 So we love dice. Oh man, wen wen start a 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.120 dice game anywhere. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.920 Anywhere anywhere, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.720 Respectfully, you know what I'm saying. But man, we were together. 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.120 We made sure we was all together. And when you 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.880 see teams that are like that, man, them the teams 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.319 you bet with, because because when you get in the foxhole, 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.040 P already know on this peak and roll ticket ticket 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.000 got me. Or Man, if I'm gonna go block this shot, 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.800 I already know RI got me on the crack like 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.000 stuff like this, bro, Because when you got that trust, man, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.840 you just go. You're not even thinking. You know what 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.880 I'm saying that that's important in today's game, man, the continuity. 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.560 And that's what I'm most worried about with teams like Philly. 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.360 Look at continuity. Fucked the Phoenix last year. Real shit, 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.880 they look better. You went to the game. How they 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.720 look p and live how Phoenix looked last night. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.280 They looked a little rusty, but then they got better 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.560 as a game winner, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:44.320 Took over. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.320 Yeah, they like they were supposed to lose that game, truthfully, 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.040 you think so. I mean, they was up most of 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.960 the game that late Clippers took the lead. I mean, 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.280 but they they they still learning to play with each 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.440 other because they only played like, I think thirty games together, 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.160 like all three of them. So I can tell that 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.400 was like kind of hesitancy on when to be aggressive 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.160 and when not to be, you know, especially like Booker 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.120 because you know last year Booker had the ball. You know, 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.840 now he got to go back to his original I 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.120 like that for him, he just needed to not go 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.200 out there and think and just hoop, just let his 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.560 game take over. Yeah, it looked like sometime he was 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.600 wondering when to be aggressive when not to be Like, 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.640 just be aggressive though you one of the best scores 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.480 in the league. Can't nobody guard you one on one? 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.760 And really they need to be following his lead. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.960 And then I think that I think people follow that 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.080 when you when you start taking initiative. You see, guys, 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.960 get out your way you see guys set a pig 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:43.840 like okay, oh yeah, I saw a couple of times 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:48.560 he came off and it was for him. He was diverting. Yeah, exactly, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.240 I'm looking for that book that come in and you 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.640 know what it is. That's that's because when he liked 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.560 that best. Yeah, it's hard to beat them too. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.600 Now, look, I've been I've been looking at the East 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.240 and you know, the Celtics is the upper echelon. But 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.080 like when I really look at it, everybody talking about 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.880 you know, and I know we saw till this versus 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:08.280 New York. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.520 But like when I started. 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.840 Really thinking about it, dog looking at it, start really 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.240 looking at it, I was like, man, please don't sleep 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.280 on the Pacers because I think in the East, I 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.160 think the Pacers are the second best team. Because that's 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.960 why I think they they tough to keep up with pace, 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.120 and they got depth because now you got my Thuring back. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.680 He wasn't even back last year. So I think when 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.680 I look down the line, they the only other team 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:41.400 outside of Cleveland that got the depth. You know, they 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:47.160 got eight strong so people, I think nobody talking about that. 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.600 All the hype been about New York because of they 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.680 trade and Philly because of their trade. But I'm telling you, bro, 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.040 watch y'all. I think what you what you're thinking about 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.960 the Pacers. People forget they was in the Eastern Conference finals. 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.440 He was in the Eastern Conference finals, and we don't 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:04.280 we forget that. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.919 On apologize to the Pacers man, straight up, because they 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.520 earned that. They need some respect. They do real ship, 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.000 and you know what we Finnah give it to him. 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.440 Shout out to the Pacers, man. They don't get enough. 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.000 I think they the second best team in there. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.480 They are absolutely, absolutely Now you know what's crazy? All 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.399 these other shinier pieces came into play, right Paul George 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.760 coming over here, you know what with Cad and all 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:30.680 that Dame came with, and they forgot about you better 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.720 you know what else you better watch out for, Orlando Homie. 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:35.760 Them young wolves over. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:40.320 There, I think for me to actually put them in 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:44.280 the conversation. Man, he's gonna have to take another He 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:45.520 gotta take another step. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.080 But he took that step last year. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:51.080 No man, take he gotta take the m v P step, Bro, 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:52.520 he gotta take that step. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.760 To I'm watching in his third year, he was all 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.200 start the second year. 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.920 Three and eleven last night against the He's still cool. 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.080 Yeah, he got it cool. Yeah, maybe I want him 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:05.920 to be a little more. You know what I'm saying, 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.320 because I not see him get like the take over 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.800 two three minutes and then go back into you know. 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:11.280 What I'm saying. 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.479
