Speaker 1: Something we must collectively as an NBA group discuss Cam
Speaker 1: thomas Is forty five point performance against Walkie Puffs. I
Speaker 1: have thoughts and there's guns.
Speaker 2: He probably don't think I'm gonna have, so we need to.
Speaker 1: Talk about it. Absolutely, it's Wednesday. We gotta talk about
Speaker 1: you're hot, then you're cold and next thing. Yo, No,
Speaker 1: poor Julius Randall out here of cold his site.
Speaker 2: We may need to retire this segment.
Speaker 1: Right after he's done when somebody put up a clock
Speaker 1: and the last time he's made something just soaking wet
Speaker 1: through the net because I haven't seen it, folks, I
Speaker 1: have not seen it. Finally, get into us news from
Speaker 1: around the League, Jam past segment, Baby jamback show, So
Speaker 1: let's get into it. William drop that motherfucker beat and
Speaker 1: should be Rihanna down all the biggest NBA storylines.
Speaker 2: So the Heat Check.
Speaker 1: The Heat Check was just a cracker, the best podcast
Speaker 1: covering all the drama around the association. Here, Lord, help
Speaker 1: me help me make my point known to my listeners
Speaker 1: without them holding my takes against me, because they they
Speaker 1: do not know what they see.
Speaker 2: They think they see a man that's a bucket. He's
Speaker 2: a bucket, He's a bucket.
Speaker 1: But what they actually see, folks, is a fucking chucker.
Speaker 1: And that's okay, that's okay, But we got to talk
Speaker 1: about Cam Thomas today. I am fired up about Cam Thomas,
Speaker 1: the man, the myth, the legend.
Speaker 2: Cam Thomas continues to grow.
Speaker 1: He had forty five points last night against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 1: And that that is a real that is a real problem.
Speaker 2: That is like we are.
Speaker 1: Will will it alert alert? It is the end of
Speaker 1: times here when Cam Thomas is scoring forty five points
Speaker 1: in a real NBA game. The man Cam Thomas thirty
Speaker 1: three shots last night, he attempted, he put up sixteen threes.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm fired up, not just about Cam, but
Speaker 1: that anyone would think it was a good idea to
Speaker 1: build their entire offense around Cam Thomas. Now you may
Speaker 1: say Trista, Trista, He's a leading scorer in Okill history,
Speaker 1: leading freshman in the SEC at LSU.
Speaker 2: Give a buck.
Speaker 1: He has the same usage right now, higher usage than
Speaker 1: Damian Logo Lillard.
Speaker 2: Listen, I'm not trying to hate on this man. Cam Thomas.
Speaker 2: He's a chucker. That's what he does.
Speaker 1: He's gonna, okay, he's gonna do what he does. He's
Speaker 1: not told anyone any different. I'm not passing you the ball,
Speaker 1: so quit asking. I need somebody to take the ball
Speaker 1: away from Cam Thomas. We are too real, like real
Speaker 1: times of like I am legend, like this is now.
Speaker 1: I need someone to tell Jacques Vaughn and Sean Marx
Speaker 1: and the rest of these beta boys on the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Nets you can't have Cam Thomas be the.
Speaker 2: Leader of your team.
Speaker 1: This is now socialism at its finest, where we all
Speaker 1: just get to share the pie. Everybody takes what they need, right,
Speaker 1: Everybody takes the shots that they need except for Cam Thomas.
Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, no no, I'm taking thirty three
Speaker 1: a game and you're getting the rest. That's what happens
Speaker 1: when you have a selfish man in a socialistic system.
Speaker 2: I'll take all the flames.
Speaker 1: Oh, Trista, you're just hating. Ask any fucking basketball player.
Speaker 1: Ask someone ethical about the game of basketball. If what
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas is doing is good for the sport, they're
Speaker 1: gonna shoot every time.
Speaker 2: They can't chuckers.
Speaker 1: They shoot every time they get the ball twenty seconds
Speaker 1: in the shot cluck five seconds.
Speaker 2: The show doesn't matter, contested, uncontested.
Speaker 1: Thirty feet, forty feet, fifty feet away, doesn't matter. I'm
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas, I am him, and that's what Cam Thomas
Speaker 1: did last night.
Speaker 2: The truth is Cam Thomas is doing.
Speaker 1: A lot in Brooklyn, and for the life of me,
Speaker 1: I cannot tell why, why why he was benched last
Speaker 1: year He poudered and he cried and we all knew
Speaker 1: he wasn't a starting caliber guard. And we've got Spencer
Speaker 1: Dinwidy on this team and he's just being benched in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter so that Cam Thomas can shoot all
Speaker 1: the shots down the stretch against the contender like the
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks. Why I have no idea Spencer Dinwoodie, most
Speaker 1: clutch shots, eleven game winners in his career, highest plus
Speaker 1: minus on the team, highest assist rate on the team,
Speaker 1: you know, at the cold basketball. But no, he's sitting
Speaker 1: there on his ass on the bench while Cam Thomas
Speaker 1: is being told.
Speaker 2: Green light, green light, have it, take it. And you
Speaker 2: know what Milwaukee says.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we love to see he Cam Thomas with
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands.
Speaker 2: First quarter, second quarter, third quarter, old baby.
Speaker 1: Yes, of course fourth quarter, because eventually when cam Thomas misses,
Speaker 1: it turns into easy little shots for us in transition,
Speaker 1: and oh boy, yes it did. Milwaukee Bucks had the
Speaker 1: highest amount of transition buckets that they had.
Speaker 2: All year, and it was no sweat. We don't care
Speaker 2: if we go down ten to Brooklyn. Why because camp
Speaker 2: Thomas has the ball.
Speaker 1: That's why. If you think I'm hating, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: by now force five minutes into the segment, he probably
Speaker 1: do snack on this little baby. The more that cam
Speaker 1: Thomas scores, the more that the Brooklyn Nets lose. The
Speaker 1: numbers speak for themselves. Cam Thomas when he scores thirty
Speaker 1: or more, his team is three and seven.
Speaker 2: Cam Thomas.
Speaker 1: When they scores thirty five or more, team is one
Speaker 1: and five cam Thomas when they scores forty or more.
Speaker 1: Very impressive that he has five games where he scored
Speaker 1: forty or more. One and four Camp Thomas when he
Speaker 1: scores forty five or more. Very impressive. Of three games
Speaker 1: he scored forty five, very impressive.
Speaker 2: Oh for three.
Speaker 1: The more cam Thomas we get, the more sick we get.
Speaker 1: I mean, the team is non functional. Cam right now
Speaker 1: has a twenty eight percent usage rate. That's fifth in
Speaker 1: the entire league at the position. Brooklyn, we have a problem.
Speaker 1: This man Cam Thomas has a higher usage rate than
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard. He's got a usage rate through the fucking roof.
Speaker 1: This is one of the most egregiously unethical players we've
Speaker 1: seen in our life. This is two thousands basketball.
Speaker 2: For you, clear on out. It's on me. It's me
Speaker 2: right now, are you open?
Speaker 1: I don't care. This man Cam Thomas is gone to
Speaker 1: do anything else either. He's gonna shoot and shoot and
Speaker 1: shoot some more. How bad is he on defense? The worst,
Speaker 1: like bottom five percent. I could tell you the rating,
Speaker 1: but you don't care. One hundred and seventeen point nine
Speaker 1: twenty fifth worst in the league of over four hundred.
Speaker 1: That is nearly identical the way he had last year,
Speaker 1: which is one hundred and seventeen point seven. Loa loah. Again,
Speaker 1: not about Cam Thomas, more about situation. Opposing teams, like
Speaker 1: I said, they want to see nothing more than Cam
Speaker 1: Thomas shoot the ball. Do you think the deepfense is
Speaker 1: bending because of Cam Thomas? Do you think they're collapsing
Speaker 1: around Cam Thomas? Do you think Cam Thomas is on
Speaker 1: the fucking scouting report. No, except for allow cam Thomas
Speaker 1: to have the ball as much as he can. He
Speaker 1: is shooting thirty three percent from three, which qualifies him
Speaker 1: as being bottom ten percent of a high.
Speaker 2: Volume three point shooter. Fam, we can't be doing this.
Speaker 1: We can't put him on Twitter, elevating him onto a
Speaker 1: pedestal like the forty five cam Thomas put up was
Speaker 1: in some way valuable.
Speaker 2: To the team. Sixteen threes last night? Sixteen Are you
Speaker 2: kidding me?
Speaker 1: Do not be putting this man on my Twitter feet.
Speaker 1: Do not be like, oh, he's him, He's a bucket.
Speaker 2: Jacqu Vaughan.
Speaker 1: Do not be like after the game, we need to
Speaker 1: see the ball in cam Thomas's hand as much as
Speaker 1: possible in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: No, we don't. No, we don't.
Speaker 1: Michel Bridges, don't be like, oh, cam Thomas is a bucket.
Speaker 1: I want the ball in his hands down in crunch time.
Speaker 2: No, you don't.
Speaker 1: And if you do your beta, your beta, you don't
Speaker 1: want the ball in your hands because Cam Thomas is
Speaker 1: gonna take it and Spencer didn when he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to ruffle any feathers because we already know what time
Speaker 1: it was when he was in Wizard's Land.
Speaker 2: They were fucking with his reputation. He built it up
Speaker 2: to as high as it is right now.
Speaker 1: Well whatever that means in Dallas and now he's just
Speaker 1: trying to, like, you know, not make waves because he's
Speaker 1: an impending free agent and he wants to get paid.
Speaker 1: Shame on Brooklyn, Shame on you, Jacque Vond, Shame on you,
Speaker 1: Michale Bridges, Shame on you the rest of the squad
Speaker 1: for letting this man have the ball thirty eight.
Speaker 2: Percent of the time.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight percent of the time, doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: It feels like always, How does this happen? Where else?
Speaker 2: Would this happen? Nowhere? Nowhere, nowhere? Wizards probably maybe not.
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole would say, Cam Tomas ula, no, sir, doesn't
Speaker 1: happen in Orlando, doesn't happen in Portland, doesn't happen in
Speaker 1: any dog shit organization. But it's happening on the nets.
Speaker 1: Why I don't know it. He needs an investigation for
Speaker 1: the ages and we will do that deep dive, just
Speaker 1: not today.
Speaker 2: But it's a mess, so please.
Speaker 1: The end of the line is for me saying despite
Speaker 1: the nets loss, Cam Thomas balled out, No, that's not correct.
Speaker 1: What is correct is the NETS can't win because they
Speaker 1: have a yank ass roster that relies on Cam Thomas
Speaker 1: putting up forty five. And remember, only you kids can
Speaker 1: stop unethical basketball from being put onto our Twitter feed.
Speaker 1: That's enough right now, I've got to move on to
Speaker 1: something more positive. I can feel the poison just seeping
Speaker 1: into my veins.
