Speaker 1: Washington two wins. What do they need to do to
Speaker 1: translate these numbers in the wins? Find a way to
Speaker 1: get that hunting meal back they gave Otto porter and
Speaker 1: get another three guard. What's burning that boy? Steph Curry
Speaker 1: is burning sixty two points career high last night. Congratulations
Speaker 1: to him, Um, second oldest player to do it, which
Speaker 1: is crazy to say because he's only thirty two years old.
Speaker 1: But our brother Kobe is the only player to do
Speaker 1: touch sixty at an older age, Um, Jack, There's been
Speaker 1: a lot of chatter and disrespect to the light skinned
Speaker 1: kings Steph. Um, did he what do you think about
Speaker 1: the chatter? And did he quiet the nay sayers last night? Well?
Speaker 1: The best thing that the best way to shut him
Speaker 1: up is played like he's played last night. But I
Speaker 1: want to reinterrate something you said at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the season four started. You said that Steph had to
Speaker 1: do some amazing things this year in order for them
Speaker 1: just to get wins. And that's exactly what he did,
Speaker 1: twenty one points in the first quarter. I knew he
Speaker 1: was off to a big night, but those type of
Speaker 1: games he has to have for this team to even
Speaker 1: be in the hunted things. Yeah. I mean, as we
Speaker 1: tell Stone last week, this is a team searching for
Speaker 1: their identity. You know, gone o the days of of
Speaker 1: of k D and and Clay on the wing, and
Speaker 1: Iggy and Sean and David West and you name it.
Speaker 1: This is a whole new team. So they have to
Speaker 1: find out who they are as a team. We know
Speaker 1: we have it with steph uh, even though people want
Speaker 1: to doubt it. So we have to figure out what
Speaker 1: you know, what they have? Uh? Moving forward? Draymond is
Speaker 1: i think only two games back, but his energy was
Speaker 1: contagious last night. And I think the confidence he allows
Speaker 1: everyone else to play with because they know he has
Speaker 1: their back is huge. Um. This team played with the
Speaker 1: energy from the opening tip last night and they were impressive.
Speaker 1: You know, they're sitting at three and three right now, um,
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack, and I'm excited to
Speaker 1: see this team kind of catch a rhythm and and
Speaker 1: really kind of find an identity. You know that ubre
Speaker 1: Is is slowly but surely coming back to life, Wiggins
Speaker 1: is finding his footing. I'm really impressive. James Wiseman Uh,
Speaker 1: a young kid that that didn't really get to play
Speaker 1: in college inside out runs, the floor, block shots, rebounds,
Speaker 1: they definitely have possibly although I picked LaMelo Ball. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think James Wiseman is definitely gonna be in the
Speaker 1: running for Rookie the Viyear this year. Week two impressions.
Speaker 1: Two teams out the gate with strong starts, Philly under
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers at five and one in the East and
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns under Monti Williams at five and two
Speaker 1: in the West. Let's start with Philly. Jack. One thing
Speaker 1: I said was Doc is a great motivational speaker. He'll
Speaker 1: have you believing in yourself, believing in the team. Um,
Speaker 1: I think that's what you're seeing with Joel and Be
Speaker 1: right now and Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons is doing this thing.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Philly at this point. Well,
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me is, I know Doctor is
Speaker 1: holding these guys accountable. You know, having Bear Brown the
Speaker 1: last couple of years and UM and Philly with Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: he really didn't hold him accountable. Both of those guys
Speaker 1: from Australia. You kind of let him do what he
Speaker 1: wanted to do. I think with Dr Doc Rivers there,
Speaker 1: he's gonna hold him accountable. Let him know that he
Speaker 1: has to go out there, demand disrespect and play the
Speaker 1: game one way and that's a hundred ten percent. And
Speaker 1: I think he's he's he's spreading that attitude around the
Speaker 1: whole team and that's why they're getting off to a
Speaker 1: good start. Uh Seth Curry has been a great pick
Speaker 1: up for them, average sixteen point shooting from the field
Speaker 1: and fifty one from the three. Uh more spacing for
Speaker 1: that team. Um, you know, having played for Doc, like
Speaker 1: I said, I know that's what he's gonna do. He's
Speaker 1: gonna still confidence, he's gonna hold these guys accountable. But
Speaker 1: he's just a great motivational type guy, and I think
Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna need with guys like Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: who needs a constant reminder of how good he is.
Speaker 1: And Tobias Harris. Tobias Harris had his best years of
Speaker 1: pro under Doc in l A. Now he's back with him,
Speaker 1: and it's no surprise that Tobias is that nineteen points
Speaker 1: a game. So what do you think Doc's been doing
Speaker 1: to get Tobias to play at that all star type level.
Speaker 1: We're just giving him confidence and letting him know he's
Speaker 1: a big part of that team. I had to buyas
Speaker 1: as a rookie in Milwaukee and coming out of Tennessee
Speaker 1: the six nine, being able to the size, he wasn't
Speaker 1: be able to do everything on the court. I knew
Speaker 1: he had a chance to be a star in his league,
Speaker 1: and I think Doc's just giving him the confidence that
Speaker 1: he that he belongs in his league, and he started
Speaker 1: to play like it. You know, absolutely, it looked like
Speaker 1: from the outside looking then obviously that Philly had chose
Speaker 1: Tobias over Jimmy Butler and took a lot of criticism
Speaker 1: for that. Jimmy's going on to Miami and done his thing.
Speaker 1: But Tobias is the highest paid player on that team,
Speaker 1: and like we said, we know how talented is. We
Speaker 1: just have to see that night and night out. Shout
Speaker 1: out to h B Man and Beat is definitely doing
Speaker 1: this thing man. You know, the thirteen rebounds, three assists,
Speaker 1: a block and a half. He's showing up every night,
Speaker 1: which is big for that team because when he shows
Speaker 1: up and plays hard every night, there's not a person
Speaker 1: in the world and can guard En Pivoting out West.
Speaker 1: Another team off to a hot start, the Phoenix Suns
Speaker 1: at five and two. Uh. Money Williams got these boys
Speaker 1: playing defense, six guys scoring a double figures. Uh CP.
Speaker 1: You know I I picked them as one of the
Speaker 1: teams to watch out coming out of the West. They're
Speaker 1: making me look good, Jack, What are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns. I love everything about the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 1: One GM. James Jones used to play in the league,
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine, multiple champion. Then you got
Speaker 1: Money Williams, a coach that everybody loves, tough nosed player
Speaker 1: when he played you adding a CP Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: point guard Devin brook top ten player in the league,
Speaker 1: and a young player in DeAndre Ayden. I love everything
Speaker 1: about this This team can go. Only way. The only
Speaker 1: way to put his team to go is up, and
Speaker 1: I like everything about it. Definitely shout out to James
Speaker 1: Jones doing a great job. Robert Sarvers got his dusty
Speaker 1: us out the way and is allowing James to, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, put a constructive team. Uh that's suitable. You know,
Speaker 1: we've all been saying that we felt Devin Booker has
Speaker 1: been wasting his time there, and I could safely say
Speaker 1: now that they're really starting to surround him with pieces
Speaker 1: to Uh, you know, utilize the best of him. I
Speaker 1: still think his scoring average is gonna go up. He's
Speaker 1: had about twenty right now. I see him going up
Speaker 1: to about seven. But with six guys and in double figures. Uh.
Speaker 1: Crowder has been a great pick up for them, A
Speaker 1: veteran leader, a guy who's similar to us. You need
Speaker 1: guys like that on your team. Three and D guys,
Speaker 1: the energy of the team, the face of the the
Speaker 1: nastiness of the team. I love it. Um. I'm happy
Speaker 1: for the Son's fan base. Yeah, I got a chance
Speaker 1: to play out their great fan base, great city, although
Speaker 1: there's no fans yet. UM. Happy to see them have
Speaker 1: a winner back. They deserve it. And Monty Williams to
Speaker 1: really being able to find his footing as a head coach. Um.
Speaker 1: Like I said, this team plays with his kind of
Speaker 1: grit and tenacity. On defense. I think their third in
Speaker 1: the league in defensive efficiency. So happy to see cp
Speaker 1: uh move on to another team, but really starting to
Speaker 1: make his impression on that team and showing these guys
Speaker 1: how to win because they got a talented young bunch
Speaker 1: over there up next in our week to impression hardening friends. Uh,
Speaker 1: they got everyone back playing now, and John Wallace came
Speaker 1: out the gates looking explosive. I couldn't be more happy
Speaker 1: for this guy for not being able to place his
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen. He's come out and put everyone
Speaker 1: on notice. Remember me, he's out here doing this thing.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Do you think that they have enough?
Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying this is one of
Speaker 1: the most talented rosters James has had in Houston. What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Is his mind made up? Is there
Speaker 1: a way they can keep him in the mix and
Speaker 1: happy and really try to make a run with this squad,
Speaker 1: But they can at least keeping for this year, you know,
Speaker 1: because they have money for two years. You know this year.
Speaker 1: I think you know. The way John wall is coming
Speaker 1: out and the way Bookie is gonna come along, even
Speaker 1: with some of the young players, how they're playing, I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna motivate James to state, uh, John Washs
Speaker 1: energy is contagious. Man. He's coming out with the great stars, Shawn,
Speaker 1: He's healthy, ready to leave this team, and I think
Speaker 1: that's showing James is seeing that he has other guys
Speaker 1: that's finally gonna ride with him. Not saying CP and
Speaker 1: rust and ride with him. But these guys are gonna
Speaker 1: ride with him under control, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And and and and and that's that's that's what he
Speaker 1: that's what he hasn't seen. And also with a coach
Speaker 1: like Steven Silas, he's gonna hold everybody accountable and they're
Speaker 1: gonna be on the same page. I like it. I
Speaker 1: just hope James buys all the way in and don't
Speaker 1: have one ft in on the court and one ft
Speaker 1: on the plane. Yeah, like I said, we respect the
Speaker 1: fact if he wants to move on. But I think
Speaker 1: they've done a good job of surrounding them with talent
Speaker 1: and someone you didn't mention, Christian Wood, who's come out
Speaker 1: of nowhere, not necessarily know where. He just got a
Speaker 1: nice deal. But this kid is playing incredibly six ten,
Speaker 1: can do with all shoot it, put her on the floor,
Speaker 1: block shots, rebound, run the floor. Um, he's got too legitimate.
Speaker 1: Maybe three ship four guys if you get Gordon going,
Speaker 1: and then Boogie will probably be could be at about fifteen.
Speaker 1: They got four guys that any given night can drop
Speaker 1: thirty plus for you, maybe five once Boogie gets going.
Speaker 1: So this is a very talented team. I'm happy for
Speaker 1: coach Silas that he's got these guys starting to write
Speaker 1: the ship. We hope that, you know, whatever the situation
Speaker 1: is with James, when he's on the court, that's all
Speaker 1: that matters. Because they got a nice little They got
Speaker 1: a nice little roster over there, and I definitely think
Speaker 1: they can make some noise in the Western Conference. Up next,
Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies. Uh. We all saw John rant go down
Speaker 1: with the nasty ankle injury. Out three to five weeks.
Speaker 1: Jaren Jackson is still sideline. How does this team compete
Speaker 1: in a loaded Western conference with their two young stars out.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard, man. I think the best thing
Speaker 1: about it is they're getting hurt earlier in the season.
Speaker 1: You don't want these enjies to happen towards the end
Speaker 1: of the season when you pushing for the playoffs. Uh,
Speaker 1: these these the two guys is out Mrat and Jackson.
Speaker 1: They need these guys more than anything. It's impossible for
Speaker 1: them to have a great season without these two guys.
Speaker 1: So the guys that's that's still on the bench, that
Speaker 1: guys just coming in and gonna have to step up
Speaker 1: and just try to hold ship tight. Until these guys
Speaker 1: get back, but they don't have a chance without the
Speaker 1: two guys they have down. Yeah, Dylan Brooks and Kyle
Speaker 1: Anderson are both playing well. But I think this is
Speaker 1: also gonna benefit the playing games, you know, not just
Speaker 1: for Memphis, but any team that either loses guys star
Speaker 1: players to injury or you know, having forbid COVID, you
Speaker 1: still have that chance to hop in that seven to
Speaker 1: ten seed and still have a you know, a playing game.
Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna really benefit this team because
Speaker 1: you know, there was a lot of talk about this
Speaker 1: team jumping into the playoffs this year. They definitely can't
Speaker 1: do it without their two young guns down. But the
Speaker 1: playing scenario where you know, seven to ten got a
Speaker 1: battle to get those last two spots, I really love that,
Speaker 1: and I think that's really gonna benefit Memphis this season.
Speaker 1: In the week ahead, we got a playoff rematch between
Speaker 1: Boston and Miami. They'll be playing twice this week. Jalen
Speaker 1: Brown is off to a hot start Avenue game. Uh,
Speaker 1: Jason tatums right at twenty four. Obviously, they need Kimba
Speaker 1: in this rotation, in this lineup to be healthy to
Speaker 1: really make a run. But What are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: Boston right now? Their start and Miami start it hasn't
Speaker 1: been too good. They're on the outside looking in right now,
Speaker 1: although it's still early. Jimmy's battled with some ankle injuries.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on these two teams. I love
Speaker 1: the way Boston has been playing. I think their young
Speaker 1: stars are getting off to a great start. When the
Speaker 1: Kimba comes into the fold, I think we'll see this,
Speaker 1: this whole team come together and see what they could
Speaker 1: really be. Obviously, playing Miami two times in one week,
Speaker 1: both of these teams need these wins, you know, with
Speaker 1: seventy two games now, these are wins. These are games
Speaker 1: that gonna matter coming down the playoff season. So I'm
Speaker 1: excited to see these guys play. I want Miami to
Speaker 1: get back healthy. I think Miami still dealing with a
Speaker 1: little that Finals injury that finded the Finals bang up,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to get healthy. But both teams need
Speaker 1: to go and take these two games serious towards it
Speaker 1: so it can be ready toward the end of the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Tatum and Brown taking charge. Now
Speaker 1: they're not young anymore. You know, these guys have been
Speaker 1: in the league for a handful of years. Um, this
Speaker 1: Miami team, Uh, heat team goes as Jimmy goes. Jimmy's
Speaker 1: off to a slow start, bothered by some nagging injuries.
Speaker 1: At eight points a game this season, Uh, they're at
Speaker 1: there's sub five hundred. We know they'll catch their footing.
Speaker 1: But the Eastern Conference isn't a cakewalk no more. And
Speaker 1: you know both the Western and each conference are gonna
Speaker 1: be very difficult this year. So these guys, like you said,
Speaker 1: these games early on count more than normal because there's
Speaker 1: ten fewer games. UM, so excited to see these guys
Speaker 1: score up two times this week. It's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: they always play hard when they play each other. Also
Speaker 1: an exciting matchup this week, Philly versus Brooklyn. UM. Philly
Speaker 1: obviously off to a hot start at five and one.
Speaker 1: Brooklyn started off hot, have hit a little bit of
Speaker 1: a stumble, but I love the way Katie is progressing
Speaker 1: at twenty eight points a game this Although it's early, Jack,
Speaker 1: is this is a statement game for either team? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it definitely is for Brooklyn. You know, Kyrie and Katie
Speaker 1: have been talking a lot, and me and you we
Speaker 1: both high on Brooklyn. We know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: We know they're gonna back up the talk, and I just,
Speaker 1: you know, I know Katie still getting in game shape.
Speaker 1: He's still coming back off a horrific injury. I just
Speaker 1: want to see how he shows up and how he
Speaker 1: how he comes in and takes over this game game.
Speaker 1: I know Kyrie is ready to go, but I'm really
Speaker 1: ready to see the Katie that we all know come
Speaker 1: out in the big game against the team that they're
Speaker 1: gonna be fighting against coming towards end of the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of memes and and ship talking last
Speaker 1: night when Katie and Kyrie both missed those game winning shots,
Speaker 1: don't bet on that ship happening. Those motherfucker's make them
Speaker 1: shots every single night, every single day in practice. Next
Speaker 1: time they're going down, so don't bank on that. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, on the flip side, I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: it's Philly. You know ready, you know they're off to
Speaker 1: a great start, but this is someone that a lot
Speaker 1: of people, including us in Brooklyn, have picked to come
Speaker 1: out of the East. This is a good measuring stick
Speaker 1: for them, uh you know, is and be ready to
Speaker 1: play these big games and dominate like he's been game
Speaker 1: been doing. Is Tobias Harris gonna step up? You know
Speaker 1: what's been gonna do? So I'm excited for this matchup.
Speaker 1: Two teams definitely uh you know, towards the upper half
Speaker 1: of the Eastern Conference and both have a great chance
Speaker 1: to make the finals this year. And on Friday, for
Speaker 1: the first time, we got the ball brother matchups. Um,
Speaker 1: have we seen enough of Lamello to really make this
Speaker 1: all brother comparison yet? What are your thoughts, Jack? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's salute to them having two buzzs in the league
Speaker 1: at the same time, but I'm pretty sure the other
Speaker 1: games that will be way more entertaining stupid. The one
Speaker 1: thing I like about Lamelos he plays with a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence. He's out there playing like he's been there
Speaker 1: obviously up and down as most young players are, is
Speaker 1: you know, is a Lonzo ready to step up? I
Speaker 1: think this is his year. We've We've seen Ingram step up.
Speaker 1: We've seen Julius Randall step up in New York, We've
Speaker 1: seen Kuzma uh you know, stepping up somewhat. It's time
Speaker 1: for a Lonzo to step up. Obviously, big brother playing
Speaker 1: little brother is always fun and obviously salute to the
Speaker 1: family for letting that happen. Uh, this is gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking forward to them guarding each other because
Speaker 1: that's gonna take it back to the backyard where it
Speaker 1: all started for them. If anything, lett Nello get a
Speaker 1: shine on. Melo is gonna be the next star. You know,
Speaker 1: Alonso had his opportunity to to to lead the family.
Speaker 1: And you are you writing them off already? Huh, what's
Speaker 1: going on? I'm not writing them off. I just know
Speaker 1: right now this is Alonzo's time. I mean, this is uh,
Speaker 1: this is Mellow's time. Let Melow have his time. Don't
Speaker 1: let his brother coming in and rode up, ride off
Speaker 1: his cotel. This is Mellow's time, This mellow ball time.
Speaker 1: So when we're talking about the game, Mellow balls playing
Speaker 1: not Mellow against Alonzo ship. If I'm older brother, I'm
Speaker 1: saying fun that. But there's also some notable brother combinations.
Speaker 1: There's also some note brother of conversations in the game.
Speaker 1: Right now, Steph and Seth, the Holiday threesome, the grand brothers,
Speaker 1: the Lopez twins, the Janis brothers. Uh, who is to you,
Speaker 1: in your opinion, the best brother do in the game
Speaker 1: right now, the best brother doing the game has to
Speaker 1: be the Curies. To me, I love the Curies obviously,
Speaker 1: the Greek freaks plural. They could uh obviously passed them
Speaker 1: one day. Have the younger brothers coming be just like
Speaker 1: their brother But right now step and Steph can't nobody
Speaker 1: pass them. Absolutely shooting the ball the way they do,
Speaker 1: beautiful thing to see, Jack, we gotta weaken the goodness
Speaker 1: ahead of us. Got a whole slate of NBA game
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, and NFL wild Card weekend both days
Speaker 1: as well. Let's start with the NBA. Who's the matchup
Speaker 1: you're looking forward to catching this weekend? Man, I can't
Speaker 1: wait till Sunday, The Lakers versus the Rockets. Man, I
Speaker 1: really want to see what this Rockets team is gonna do.
Speaker 1: Everybody's healthy, they have everybody back, and the measurement stick
Speaker 1: is the is the defending champions the Lakers. So James
Speaker 1: John Wall boogie, I want to see if these guys
Speaker 1: are gonna do. See if they come to Day eight
Speaker 1: games they get a big win. Come Sunday, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see that Denver Philly game. Although Denver is off
Speaker 1: to a slow start. Uh, you know, we got the
Speaker 1: last of the dying breeze, the two best centers in
Speaker 1: the game, Um getting an opportunity to square up against
Speaker 1: each other. Looking forward to those guys going at it. Um.
Speaker 1: But I'm really excited for you know, I'm a football
Speaker 1: guy at heart. It's wild Card weekend. I'm really looking
Speaker 1: forward to catching up on some football. Definitely gonna be
Speaker 1: rolling up feet kicked up. Might have to change Ashton
Speaker 1: to his crib so I get a little bit silent
Speaker 1: and just man, just enjoy the weekend. Man, who is
Speaker 1: some of the game games on the flip side in
Speaker 1: the NFL front you're looking forward to watching this weekend? Man,
Speaker 1: I want to see two reasons. I want to see
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in Washington. Washington is the reason why Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys did made it well, I'm lying the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: That the reason the Dallas cowboysn't make it terrible. But
Speaker 1: then again, Tom Brady, Man, we're all Tom Brady fans.
Speaker 1: I want to see if he can really, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, really create another miracle and bring the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaness to the Super Bowl. Here is another
Speaker 1: ten win season for him. I want to see what
Speaker 1: other magic he can do. Now, I'm definitely excited. You know,
Speaker 1: it's hard to bet against him when it comes down
Speaker 1: the stretch, but I'm excited to see Tennessee Baltimore Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry shout out another two thousand yards season going up
Speaker 1: against a tough Baltimore defense, and then Lamar Jackson, the
Speaker 1: first quarterback in NFL history to have back to back
Speaker 1: one thousand yard Russian Season's gonna be very impressive. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be ground and pound, but it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: fun weekend. Um of sports. Pick your poison, grab your food,
Speaker 1: pull your upself a cocktail, have two or three rolled up.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun weekend, man, Yes, sir. Next up, guys,
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on Tyrese Haliburton, rookie from Sacramento
Speaker 1: Kings six or five combo guard. Uh can shoot the ball,
Speaker 1: plays hard on both ends. Uh. Fun young player to watch,
Speaker 1: got a good chance of being and still in the draft.
Speaker 1: I hope he stay healthy to get back on the
Speaker 1: court and do his thing. Yeah, he's out for a
Speaker 1: little bit with a wrist injury, but he'll be back soon. Uh.
Speaker 1: Next up. Julius Randall. Um, someone I just knew at
Speaker 1: some point I was gonna shine. This dude is a monster,
Speaker 1: a bull in a China shop. It's averaging twenty one
Speaker 1: points a game, ten rebounds, seven assists. Uh, first Nick
Speaker 1: player to do that through the first five games in
Speaker 1: the history of the franchise. Um. I love the fact
Speaker 1: that he's kind of finally finding his footing. You'd see
Speaker 1: flashes with the Lakers. Uh, you saw flashes in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: He's definitely coming into his own with the Knicks. Man
Speaker 1: child we've we've been waiting on. This is finally his time.
Speaker 1: Absolutely now with the Knicks, you never know. Are they
Speaker 1: showcasing them to trade them? Are they really trying to
Speaker 1: build around him? It'll be interesting to see how the
Speaker 1: Knicks handle Uh, Julius Randall, I think the surprise of
Speaker 1: the season as far as been Christian would free agent
Speaker 1: pick up for Houston. Uh. Twenty four points, almost eleven rebounds,
Speaker 1: two and a half blocks, long, athletic inside out player. Uh. Fun,
Speaker 1: young talent, and this could be another reason for James
Speaker 1: Harden to stay put in Houston. Yeah, everything for this
Speaker 1: for this kid has been a blessing. Of this guy's
Speaker 1: God didn't let him get drafted, but kevinm hungry. He
Speaker 1: just got this big contract and when he didn't did
Speaker 1: get drafted, he had another blessing. This thot girlfriend laughing.
Speaker 1: So I'm happy. I'm a fan. I'm I'm a fan.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of this kid. Man. I want to
Speaker 1: see him do well and he's really a big reason
Speaker 1: for Houston have some success this year. Absolutely hoping looking
Speaker 1: forward to seeing Boogie get his footing back. Those two
Speaker 1: on the front line along with p J. Tucker. The
Speaker 1: way John Wallace playing Houston has got some talent, man,
Speaker 1: It'll be all uh. All we have to do is
Speaker 1: see if they can keep James happy over there, because
Speaker 1: I said earlier they could definitely do some damage in
Speaker 1: the Western Conference. What's burning a few quick hitters to
Speaker 1: close out the show today, Jack Washington. Two wins, one
Speaker 1: with Russ, one without Russ. Obviously, Rust is off to
Speaker 1: a hot start. Triple double machine. What do they need
Speaker 1: to do to translate these numbers in the winds, Find
Speaker 1: a way to get that hunting meal back. They gave
Speaker 1: outo porter and get another three guard. They wasted a
Speaker 1: hunting meal and out of porter. I'm sorry everything started
Speaker 1: when that happened. They since moved him, but they still
Speaker 1: you still think they need their money back. They need
Speaker 1: their money back and until they can invest it in
Speaker 1: somebody else. Up next, a surprising statum about to give you.
Speaker 1: The Knicks have a better record than the Nets thus far.
Speaker 1: What do you like about the Knicks so far this season? Jack?
Speaker 1: Nothing at all? Uh? They can start off fifteen and
Speaker 1: oh and they're still not gonna make the playoffs as
Speaker 1: long as they have the owner they have. Remember that
Speaker 1: that thing on color purple. Until you do right by meat,
Speaker 1: nothing good is gonna happen to you. He got that
Speaker 1: root on him, Bro, It's a whole stothering. He got
Speaker 1: that root on him. Man, Hey, listen for where they're at.
Speaker 1: Impressive start. You know, guys are playing well. Don't expect
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets to be uh, you know in this
Speaker 1: area with them too much longer, they're gonna find their
Speaker 1: footing and take off. But hey, for three and three
Speaker 1: to start the season. Tips got those guys playing hard,
Speaker 1: playing defense, holding people accountable like you like. But I
Speaker 1: agree with you, I don't really see them making too
Speaker 1: much noise this season. Up next, Trey Young and the
Speaker 1: Hawks off to a hot start. Luca and the MAVs
Speaker 1: are not. Jackie think there's too much pressure on Luca
Speaker 1: right now. He's supposed to be the next best thing
Speaker 1: odds on favorite to win the m v P uh,
Speaker 1: and it's been a tough start to the season for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of eyes is on them, and they don't
Speaker 1: even have a four roster yet, you know. So. Uh.
Speaker 1: But but to who much is given, much is required.
Speaker 1: You know, he has to go out there and still play.
Speaker 1: We've seen Braun in this situation a lot of times
Speaker 1: where Braun had to play with some smurfs all of
Speaker 1: them were blue, and he still had to take him
Speaker 1: to the finals. So, um, he gotta he gotta deal
Speaker 1: with it, you know what I mean. But on the
Speaker 1: flip side of it, Trey is doing everything he's supposed
Speaker 1: to be doing. He he has other weapons now, a
Speaker 1: more confident team, a more veteran team. I like everything
Speaker 1: he's doing. I really like the Atlanta Hawks, you know,
Speaker 1: to me, them and the Phoenix Suns, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: the breakout teams of the season. Uh. John Collins is
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind out there. They got everyone
Speaker 1: on the same page. Rondo's in that locker Roo, I'm
Speaker 1: sure dropping these guys game every time. Trey Young's on
Speaker 1: another level right now. This is a fun team to watch.
Speaker 1: As you said, Luca still doesn't have uh the unicorn
Speaker 1: back yet. UM looking forward to him getting healthy because
Speaker 1: when they're both healthy, they're one of the best combinations
Speaker 1: in the game. But uh, it's gonna be interesting to
Speaker 1: watch Luca. Like I said, all the pressures on him,
Speaker 1: He's kind of not necessarily flowing under the radar, but
Speaker 1: as far as expectations, has flown under the radar up
Speaker 1: to this point. But now they're expecting him to be
Speaker 1: a top three, top four team in the league every
Speaker 1: season and on odds on favor to win the m
Speaker 1: v P. So we know with that comes a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure. I saw Blake Griffin kinda get to a
Speaker 1: certain level of superstardom when he was in the m
Speaker 1: v P conversation that we they expected the Clippers to
Speaker 1: to win Campion Chips as well. So you know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna see how Luca handles this pressure. I don't doubt
Speaker 1: him at all, still think he's one of the most
Speaker 1: talented players in the game and looking forward to him
Speaker 1: finding his footing and closing. Congratulations to Doc Rivers cracking
Speaker 1: the top ten all time wins list, passing Bill Fitch,
Speaker 1: only the second black coach on there, behind Lenny Wilkins.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to both of them. Um also man shout out
