Speaker 2: tied this series up as it heads back to uh.

Speaker 2: tasting smooth. It's vessel p Kangjak on the market. Guys,
Speaker 2: let's jump right into it. Yeah, it was since huh,
Speaker 2: I'm hype, I'm hype.
Speaker 1: A man played forty minutes.
Speaker 2: He had thirty six points, six rebounds to assist thirteen
Speaker 2: of twenty two. But Julius Randall had twelve points. Jay
Speaker 2: McDaniels had fourteen points, Rudy Gobert had a double double
Speaker 2: eleven and thirteen. Nas Reed chipped in with fifteen points.
Speaker 2: He was three or three from the free throw line.
Speaker 2: Mike Conley perfect from the field, two or two field goals,
Speaker 2: two or two from the three point line. Terrence Shannon Jr.
Speaker 2: Had eight points. So basically everybody that played scored at
Speaker 2: least eight points, with six of those guys in double figures.
Speaker 2: Gift sand Antonio credit. They held they they played extremely
Speaker 2: well without their best player on the court, but I
Speaker 2: think it was just a lot, little bit too much
Speaker 2: for them to overcome. Dylan Harper was sensational tonight, Castle
Speaker 2: played well. A Sale darreon Fox. Champion guys played well,
Speaker 2: but you know you get your best player only plays
Speaker 2: twelve Miny guys, you're asking them an awful lot. You're
Speaker 2: not talking about just the regular starter. You talk about
Speaker 2: a defensive Player of the Year. We're talking about an
Speaker 2: MVP candidate. And you saw the stat that they put
Speaker 2: on the screen. You looking, they were eight for eighteen
Speaker 2: in paint. But then he leaves the game, they're six
Speaker 2: for eight and I believe that was the different in
Speaker 2: the ballgame. Joe, we got ourselves a series. Now it
Speaker 2: goes back to san Antonio. The Spurs did what they
Speaker 2: wanted to do. They came in and they got at
Speaker 2: least one game. They wanted to make extend this series,
Speaker 2: and that's what they were able to do. They would
Speaker 2: have loved to gotten both of these ball games. Then
Speaker 2: they're the chance they could have, but they didn't. How
Speaker 2: was Minnesota able to withstand everything that san Antonio threw
Speaker 2: at him and still come away with a victory?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, okay, oh, Joe, we gotta be honest.
Speaker 1: You know, without winby it's a pretty even damn game. Yes,
Speaker 1: sorry me to be honest. This is for people who
Speaker 1: really enjoy, you know, the game of hoots. Like when
Speaker 1: you talk about getting buckets, when you're talking about growing
Speaker 1: up playing in the park, Bro, and you know, okay Ojo,
Speaker 1: you got guys who can really score the ball, and
Speaker 1: you got guys who can defend. I think this was
Speaker 1: if you love two way players, this was great because
Speaker 1: you got Castle for sale, Fox, Harper Man. All these
Speaker 1: guys are great off the dribble. But so it's that
Speaker 1: man thesa MoU mcdanielson. I just thought, man, it was
Speaker 1: it was great basketball. Once Winby went out, Hell, I
Speaker 1: didn't know who was gonna win. I'm gonna be honest
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, I thought Fox got it going late
Speaker 1: and uh Weinby's the biggest difference maker. Man a timber
Speaker 1: Wolves have made this a series. But bruh, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about bucket out the bucket, tough defense, making tough baskets
Speaker 1: like just coming up clutch. Hey, look, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. If you're playing with that basketball around Fox
Speaker 1: pot and he probably gonna get his.
Speaker 2: Hands on it.
Speaker 1: Okay, that boy sitting down, Babe Man, Hey, Hey, oh
Speaker 1: Joe from ball Man the game to night. I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. But without Whimby, I mean I
Speaker 1: think the Spurs are still They still competed. At one
Speaker 1: point I thought they were really gonna pull away and
Speaker 1: win this game too, But Minnesota did what they had
Speaker 1: to do. Broy, they even up to see reason now
Speaker 1: they got to go back to San Antonio. But a
Speaker 1: hell of a ball game to night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, uncle Joe, I was kind of nervous. I
Speaker 3: was kind of nervous for the Wolves. Obviously when women
Speaker 3: went out early in the second quarter. Obviously he has
Speaker 3: to learn to can keep to keep his composure, especially
Speaker 3: in situations like that. But this is exactly what you
Speaker 3: want to do to their best player. You want to
Speaker 3: antagonize him, you want to frustrate him, you want to
Speaker 3: you want to be in Jersey, you want to be
Speaker 3: in a chest and get him to have moments like this,
Speaker 3: you know. But almost it seemed like the Spurs were
Speaker 3: still going to pull us off until the Wolves were
Speaker 3: able to come away with it towards the end of
Speaker 3: the game. That goddamn a man was phenomenal. Ant was phenomenal,
Speaker 3: and obviously he was playing on both ends. They were
Speaker 3: trying to track him a little bit. But one of
Speaker 3: the reasons why I think I think the Wolves did
Speaker 3: win this game free throws. They were ninety one percent
Speaker 3: from three three from three point line, they were thirty
Speaker 3: seven percent and they went on the glass it was
Speaker 3: forty nine percent. Outside of that, I mean, you gotta
Speaker 3: figure out what you're gonna do with Winby in game four,
Speaker 3: with game four, game five, Game five, yeah, game five, yeah,
Speaker 3: game five. You gotta find a way to neutralize him
Speaker 3: in some kind of way of slow him down. If
Speaker 3: you can't slow him down, you know, he gonna always
Speaker 3: get his You got to deal with the other folk.
Speaker 3: You got to deal with other four people out. Outside
Speaker 3: of that, that was a goddamn good That was a
Speaker 3: good ass game.
Speaker 2: It was an outstanding ball game. Both teams competed. That's
Speaker 2: what you wanted to see. You hate to see Winby
Speaker 2: get thrown out of the ball game. But I thought
Speaker 2: in that situation he earned the right to get thrown out. Yes,
Speaker 2: because it was excessive. It was above the head and
Speaker 2: shoulder area. I mean, it caught him cold in the jaw.
Speaker 2: But the thing was so surprising is that when they
Speaker 2: said it over the pa annow. So you see him
Speaker 2: grab yeah, some barns and say what does that mean?
Speaker 1: He said, you're out of the game.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, And you know because he had. He
Speaker 2: had no idea. You know, he heard flagrant too excessive
Speaker 2: at X, Y and Z. He didn't know, he had
Speaker 2: no idea. I don't think he realized that he could
Speaker 2: be thrown out, and he definitely didn't think he was
Speaker 2: gonna be thrown out because a lot of times, Joe
Speaker 2: and Ojoe, you know this, in certain situations, the playoff
Speaker 2: game of the regular season, it's a no brainer. They
Speaker 2: ain't even taking that long. They gone over there and look, oh, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: that's that's excessive. He up out of here. But they're like, guys,
Speaker 2: we gotta throw him out. Did you see the force
Speaker 2: in which he landed that? And it was malicious And
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter intent. Intent only matters to winby because
Speaker 2: guess what, noavried. Y'all was still locked and he had
Speaker 2: on the floor and his head is hurting, So it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if it was he intended to do it
Speaker 2: or not. I don't think they really had a choice
Speaker 2: in that matter. But I want to commend to San
Speaker 2: Antonio Firds for still competing. They competing because this game
Speaker 2: really didn't get decided until like the last thirty seconds
Speaker 2: in the ball game, because they almost got an eight
Speaker 2: second clock, an eight second call because they had some
Speaker 2: more trapped in the back corner. One thing you don't
Speaker 2: want to do in a situation like that, Joe. You know,
Speaker 2: you don't want to get caught in the corner because
Speaker 2: they know where you can go. You can't throw the
Speaker 2: ball up because you're mess right to hit the back
Speaker 2: of the back of the hit the goal or hit
Speaker 2: the goal. Yeah, and you can't nobody. You can't see anybody,
Speaker 2: so they had him trapped. Good thing Chris Finch had
Speaker 2: one more time out. He ran and Williams was able
Speaker 2: to see him. The referee was able to see him
Speaker 2: and get that call. But they almost got him in
Speaker 2: an eight second clock. And it's been very interesting to
Speaker 2: see what happened after that.
Speaker 1: God, don't you.
Speaker 3: Now I have a question, Uncle Joe. You y'all would
Speaker 3: probably know better than I do. And when you when
Speaker 3: you get thrown at a game like this, obviously you
Speaker 3: still have to you still got to get disciplined. They
Speaker 3: not where they go as far as suspending weinby for
Speaker 3: game five, but they just.
Speaker 2: Let this go. I don't think they're no, they're not
Speaker 2: going to suspend it for game five. You'll get fined. Okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: anytime you get thrown out of a ball game, it's
Speaker 2: a fine. Okay, No, they're not gonna they're not gonna
Speaker 2: say that'll be excessive, and they're not gonna there, and
Speaker 2: and you know you're not because the one thing you
Speaker 2: don't want to do is tilt the balance of power.
Speaker 1: Now, we've seen it happen before, Joe.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you were still there when a
Speaker 2: start when uhh, when a mars startle mind them.
Speaker 1: You got the.
Speaker 2: Guys who were winning, you remember that, And Robert Dory
Speaker 2: bumped him and they came off and they shoved them
Speaker 2: and and David Stern threw their ass out. He suspended
Speaker 2: them for the next game. And it really wasn't a series.
Speaker 2: It wasn't It wasn't even it wasn't even close after that,
Speaker 2: because you lose Robert ry, but you lose two star
Speaker 2: players from the San Antonio Fanny Son. But I don't
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be the case in this situation. And
Speaker 2: because the game was already over in that situation, in
Speaker 2: the Phoenix San Antonio game, it was only like a
Speaker 2: minute to go in the ball game, so you had
Speaker 2: to have some sort of discipline because you don't want
Speaker 2: guys coming off the bench. That's why they say if
Speaker 2: you on the bench, stay your ass there, because normally,
Speaker 2: if you come off the bench, it's gonna be an
Speaker 2: automatic suspension.
Speaker 1: But in this.
Speaker 2: Situation, I do not see Wimby getting any further discipline.
Speaker 2: But I think in that situation it's not a pract
Speaker 2: where he he he he earned that. He didn't deserve it.
Speaker 2: He earned it well, bro look out, he threw that thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he threw that thing with some conviction. Now, and
Speaker 3: you know, and and and for him, it's kind of
Speaker 3: out of character too. We haven't seen him act like this.
Speaker 3: But it's also a good thing. I'm not gonna let
Speaker 3: y'all push and shove me around and then y'all just
Speaker 3: will handle me any old kind of way.
Speaker 1: No, he nah, it ain't no damn good thing. Your control,
Speaker 1: your damn emotions out there.
Speaker 3: Hey, Joey, hold on, Joey talking about basketball. Now, we
Speaker 3: see this happening all the time.
Speaker 1: Now, listen, listen, this is what the Timberwolves are designing. Hell,
Speaker 1: how you gonna stop Wimby. We're gonna get his ass
Speaker 1: up out of here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I just said that.
Speaker 1: Right, whatever we can to frustrate him, putting nine hands
Speaker 1: on him. Yes, sir, the body's on him. For a
Speaker 1: guy who's seventy five, O Jo, I ain't seen nobody
Speaker 1: on the floor as much as him. He hit the
Speaker 1: floor almost every other play bro. Yes, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And I just think that t wolves are
Speaker 1: being physical with him, and he got a bit frustrated,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's why I did that.
Speaker 1: When they told him on the bench, he was like
Speaker 1: what that means? And then he just started dapping everybody
Speaker 1: else because I felt like he kind of knew the
Speaker 1: intent that he brought with that, and he yeah, you
Speaker 1: draw back. He was like, okay, fine, you know that
Speaker 1: my teammates up. Y'all go out here, y'all try and
Speaker 1: win this game on be in the back. He didn't
Speaker 1: give no disruption about that. I felt so he knew
Speaker 1: he knew he had done something that he probably should.
Speaker 2: Have, you know what I mean. Yes, and I Joe
Speaker 2: and I think, come game. I think you're gonna I
Speaker 2: think you Game five, you're gonna see the best winby
Speaker 2: He's gonna come out with an intends they're gonna look
Speaker 2: to get in the ball early. They're gonna look to
Speaker 2: establish him, and he wants to send a message. Okay,
Speaker 2: y'all won Game four. Y'all got me up out of there.
Speaker 2: But this is why y'all got me up out of there,
Speaker 2: because I think to get roody this work. And don't
Speaker 2: y'all break if y'all break that thing anywhere up near.
Speaker 2: If it's a Hitteripen, I'm throwing it up out of here.
Speaker 2: You better be in the luth you better be in
Speaker 2: Saint Paul, you better be pay don't you bring that
Speaker 2: to Minneapolis, because you're bringing the Minneapolis. I'm throwing it up.
Speaker 1: Out of here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would not be surprised if he had a
Speaker 2: triple double, another triple double with blocks, because he's gonna
Speaker 2: be on a mission now. He The thing is now
Speaker 2: you gotta control those emotions. It's okay to play with
Speaker 2: control chaos because that's what you want. You want control chaos.
Speaker 2: But as I said, control m I think you know
Speaker 2: for him, that's gonna be the biggest key for them
Speaker 2: to get to him Maryland and say look here, we
Speaker 2: want you to be we want you to be wimby,
Speaker 2: but you gotta control it. They're gonna be watching you now,
Speaker 2: so hey, you get the ball. If they tie you up.
Speaker 2: They're not winning a jump ball situation, but anything like
Speaker 2: this here, they're gonna be looking for it. Let's control it.
Speaker 2: We got the team that can beat these guys. But
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see I think Winby's gonna come
Speaker 2: out there and he's gonna be on a mission.
Speaker 1: Hey hey, but hold up, now, hold up. I want
Speaker 1: you all to tell you he did something.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a guy that he steady getting healthy
Speaker 1: about a minute.
Speaker 2: And that's a man that man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he ain't got he ain't got that full explosion yet.
Speaker 1: But then I'm talking about Ojo. When you're talking about
Speaker 1: get to your spots and understanding the moment, you know,
Speaker 1: him and Castle got a little Georgia boy.
Speaker 2: Oh they're going back and forth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the boy going there and hey, them boy locking up,
Speaker 1: them boys making tough shots. But and man and another
Speaker 1: gift fellas me and I feel like each and every
Speaker 1: game he's starting to get better. He's starting to gain
Speaker 1: a little bit of their strength back. But it's hard
Speaker 1: to stay in front of him. And when he's making
Speaker 1: that jump shot, it's a rap. Listen if he if
Speaker 1: he gets one or two of them guys to come
Speaker 1: along with him, I don't care if it's Randall McDaniel Shannon,
Speaker 1: I don't care who it is.
Speaker 2: You. Hey, man, they.
Speaker 1: Got a good chance to upset these boys. They Hey,
Speaker 1: they ain't gay.
Speaker 2: Hey, what do you know? I liked about aunt Man
Speaker 2: today minimum three point attempts.
Speaker 1: Sometimes, Joe, he.
Speaker 2: Fall in love with that, and he's eight, ten, twelve, fourteen.
Speaker 2: That's too many. And I understand he can make that shot,
Speaker 2: he's added that to his bag, but it takes him
Speaker 2: out of a rhythm of being aggressive and my Easter
Speaker 2: rim Michael Jordan says. Well, I don't want to shoot threes,
Speaker 2: he say, because if it starts to fall, it takes
Speaker 2: me out of my aggressiveness. I want to be on
Speaker 2: attack mode. I want to attack your ass. And if
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there there your threes, it's gonna make me.
Speaker 2: It's gonna take me out of my game. And then
Speaker 2: when I really need it, I'm not there. I don't
Speaker 2: have that rhythm. And so I thought, aunt Man today
Speaker 2: only attempting five three point attempts?
Speaker 1: How many? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Five three point attempts. I thought that was perfect because
Speaker 2: it kept him aggressive. Gods, I think it kept trying
Speaker 2: to get like you said, Joe getting to his spot,
Speaker 2: put in the ball. Like I said, if you notice,
Speaker 2: he ain't really doing a whole lot of dunken because
Speaker 2: like you said, Joe, it ain't all the way back,
Speaker 2: but it's enough explosive if there that he can rise
Speaker 2: up and shoot that shot and.
Speaker 1: Then think about it. Hell, when Winby went out, why
Speaker 1: the hell would I shoot a three? Boy? I'm coming
Speaker 1: in here, old lay you hear me this boy me now?
Speaker 1: Because the second line of defense? Who you got, Cordnett? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he decent back there. But hell, I thought he played well. Joe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: hear that? He me think about you ask him to
Speaker 1: play twenty six minutes. He played well, especially on the
Speaker 1: offensive end. Hey, he rolling, He's sitting quality picks. And
Speaker 1: you already know. See thing is with Wimby Womy consider
Speaker 1: pick and pop. You already know Cornet ain't popping. He rolling.
Speaker 2: He picking it rolling, dive into the basket and he
Speaker 2: gonna get a lobb and they're gonna drop it off
Speaker 2: to him and he's gonna flush it home. So I
Speaker 2: give him a lot of credit for him having the
Speaker 2: player in a very chaotic situation.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I agree. I'm just saying, in uh for Minnesota,
Speaker 1: I noticed, man, how easy it is for those guys
Speaker 1: to get to the basket and get layers on winby
Speaker 1: one up under there. You know, So that man took y'all.
Speaker 1: That's probably why. Hey, that's probably why a man didn't
Speaker 1: shoot so many damn threes, is what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: just I just feel like in another gear man, like
Speaker 1: a Oho.
Speaker 2: It was like when when Gooseen Big and Big Sam
Speaker 2: wasn't in there team trying to run up the middle,
Speaker 2: but we had the big We had seven hundred pounds
Speaker 2: up there, ain't nobody trying to run up no middle.
Speaker 1: You better try to toss it. You run up the
Speaker 1: middle if you want to.
Speaker 2: And good luck tried to get outside because we had
Speaker 2: five two, we had Sharper, and we had got They're
Speaker 2: gonna chase you down, so good luck with that. But
Speaker 2: your damn show wasn't running when they had Sam. It's
Speaker 2: just like when Chicago, Ohoe, You rememberhen Chicago had Key
Speaker 2: Trailer and Big Ted Washington in the middle. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: had damn the eight hundred pounds. Yeah, and you damn.
Speaker 1: Show wasn't running the ball against them two?
Speaker 2: Absolutely not so uh but I look it's gonna we needed.
Speaker 2: We needed this guy because the last day. Look, we
Speaker 2: already got one. We already got a broom in one series,
Speaker 2: probably gonna get another room in another series. We last
Speaker 2: thing we needed, just like brooms across the damn board.
Speaker 2: I'm glad of Cleveland won because think about the guys.
Speaker 2: If Cleveland didn't win and here come De Troit come in,
Speaker 2: guess what now we ain't got no seal.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, it made the even game. I ain't mad
Speaker 1: that women.
Speaker 2: Got Hey hey, hey what game five is? What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: What? Day is?
Speaker 2: Game five?
Speaker 1: Tuesday?
Speaker 2: Tuesday? M Hey, Joe? Who who you like?
Speaker 1: Joe?
Speaker 2: And I mean this series? Game five?
Speaker 1: Who you like?
Speaker 2: Damn?
Speaker 1: Oh? John, I know it's hard. I like both of them, man,
Speaker 1: because they got some dogs, both of them. Guess I'm
Speaker 1: talking about some guys who's really out there competing? Man, Hey,
Speaker 1: they abating nothing. It's bucket for Bucky. I like him man,
Speaker 1: and what he's doing. I like castling the crew. Oh
Speaker 1: but that women, damn yeah, he the difference you put
Speaker 1: him out there, it looked like it looked like san
Speaker 1: Antonio playing against the damn league team. Straight up, I'm
Speaker 1: for real. That's that's the That's how much of a
Speaker 1: difference he makes. And I've seen it when he went
Speaker 1: out and you notice that the guys from the t
Speaker 1: Wolds bro it's like they got ultra aggressive. Look at
Speaker 1: Najree he sweating sixteen, Kyrie Irving, I'm talking about that point.
Speaker 1: Hey he got that little Yeah, hey, number will getting
Speaker 1: two it tonight. Man. See, I ain't gonna lie to you. Hey.
Speaker 2: The thing is when you rob a bank, what you do?
Speaker 2: You scope it out, You look at the pattern, get
Speaker 2: the security on.
Speaker 1: What time he get down?
Speaker 2: Why how long did it take him to get how
Speaker 2: long the police take down as a call? You see
Speaker 2: women in the game. Ain't nobody trying to steal no buckets? Now, Hey,
Speaker 2: I'm gona shooting shot out here. It's wide open with
Speaker 2: five feet out. What you mean you wide open? You
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna going there because Wimby on one Stephen
Speaker 2: at once. If he's on one side of the basket
Speaker 2: with one step, you not getting that shot off.
Speaker 1: It's not if you do.
Speaker 2: Get it off, it's not an easy shot. So with
Speaker 2: that being said, I think, uh, I think it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a great game.
Speaker 1: We need a great game. I think it a close.
Speaker 2: But if if I had to bet some money that
Speaker 2: meant something to me, and it felt like it's my
Speaker 2: money that means something to me, I was put I
Speaker 2: put my money on saying it to too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he Winny is such a difference maker man. And
Speaker 3: he's such a difference maker in that series. And and
Speaker 3: and Rudy is gonna have to have an outer body experience,
Speaker 3: not offensively but defensively. He's gonna have to do everything
Speaker 3: he can.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think he can.
Speaker 2: No not in him.
Speaker 1: The problem you have is women got too much in
Speaker 1: his bag for anybody.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Once he has shoot, offense, launcher pad, hell, ain't nothing
Speaker 1: you can do. Man, you just got miss Now. You
Speaker 1: got to continue to be physical with him, knause down.
Speaker 2: Every chance you get, contest everything you can.
Speaker 1: But the thing is Ojo. Even if he don't block
Speaker 1: the shot, if I drive in there, I know he there.
Speaker 1: I ain't even looking at the damn basket. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to my next pass coming there exactly exactly. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: creates that indecision. And therefore, when he's not in there,
Speaker 1: as as you get by your man, you know you're
Speaker 1: going straight to the rack, float, game, layup, whatever. But
Speaker 1: if he don't even block it, bro his presence alone,
Speaker 1: it makes it alto your decision making.
Speaker 2: He's gonna get somewhere between three to five blocks, but
Speaker 2: he's gonna make you. He's gonna make you alter your
Speaker 2: shot another five to ten times. Hell hell, So, even
Speaker 2: if he doesn't block it, you're not shooting a normal shot,
Speaker 2: even if it's a floater, because he's gonna block something
Speaker 2: up to twelve foot hot. So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: So even even if you're like, oh, screened him off,
Speaker 2: you gotta screen now.
Speaker 1: It don't matter.
Speaker 2: See Rudy can bother him down there, because Rudy is
Speaker 2: seven to one. But when Navre and Navridi sixteen, so
Speaker 2: now he has a seven inch advantage. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's hard.
Speaker 2: It's hard to challenge his shot because, like you said,
Speaker 2: if you go back and look at what was that
Speaker 2: game game three when he had that master game he
Speaker 2: put the ball on the floor, they end up having
Speaker 2: a ten Rudy out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's not.
Speaker 2: Giving you anything offensively, and he's not impeding on the
Speaker 2: defensive end. So I gotta put somebody in there.
Speaker 1: Even if you can't impede him, you.
Speaker 2: Can give me something on the other end that make
Speaker 2: him have to exhaust some of that energy, because on
Speaker 2: the other end he just chilling.
Speaker 1: He's just rolling. He's seven foot four and a half ed.
Speaker 1: Reed it. Throw it anywhere, I'm gonna go get it.
Speaker 1: And the problem is he so damn tall that if
Speaker 1: you're not Rudy Gobert, then when he do catch and turn, hell,
Speaker 1: he might hit you with an elbow every time, you know,
Speaker 1: when you think about it, Yeah, he called nives. He
Speaker 1: caught him good. But think about it, nas is right
Speaker 1: there when he catched the marble, you know, that's that's
Speaker 1: a dangerous range. That's a danger's range to be in
Speaker 1: because he could probably get caught a few times because
Speaker 1: if you know, if he had the guard him as
Speaker 1: much as he did tonight. But I thought they'd done
Speaker 1: a great job of frustrating frustrating him. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: he went out, he bowed out, you know, no gripe
Speaker 1: or grown. I think he understood he was wrong, But
Speaker 1: I thought it made it an even game, Fellas, It's
Speaker 1: just like playing it Sunday. I'm talking about you get
Speaker 1: your five, I got my five. Yeah, we going at Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got some guys who can get money. You got
Speaker 1: some guys who can get money. Let's see who come
Speaker 1: up with it at the end and what man win?
Speaker 1: He and managers took it to a whole other level.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I got a question for you, Joe. Do you
Speaker 2: believe those guys with the looks they got to night
Speaker 2: from three and they didn't knock him down? Do you
Speaker 2: still believe they'll have they'll be that unsuccessful shooting the
Speaker 2: three once they get back in their building, because I
Speaker 2: thought they had some great look at threes and they
Speaker 2: just missed them.
Speaker 1: You're right, I think with them having home court advantage
Speaker 1: back now, let's say worst case hell, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: two games in San Antonio in one game in Minnesota. Correct, No,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think they gonna be as
Speaker 1: off as they were tonight. Now. I do think with
Speaker 1: I winby being out there, Ojo, you know them guys,
Speaker 1: you know they got some guys who can go get money.
Speaker 1: But creating for other guys getting wide open shots. It
Speaker 1: really a whole lot of opportunities. Man, if we running
Speaker 1: pick and roll, and let's say we got a pick
Speaker 1: and roll coverage and I got a real big like
Speaker 1: Rudy out there, you probably he probably gonna head and.
Speaker 2: Let me get on the one, because I ain't read
Speaker 2: about Rudy popping. But if we out there and we
Speaker 2: switching everything, that mean, look, all these schemes, y'all running.
Speaker 1: This shit a is gonna work. You're gonna You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to have somebody who can get in their bag
Speaker 1: and get by somebody and get a bucket. That's why
Speaker 1: you Fox and Castle and Harper and and and it was.
Speaker 1: That's why you see these guys thriving these moments. Bro.
Speaker 1: It was just guard your man, and.
Speaker 2: It's just think you even if you get win, been
Speaker 2: a pick. If you get win, been a pick. If
Speaker 2: you beat him, have you really beat him unless he
Speaker 2: at half court? The only way you beat it. But
Speaker 2: gonna say that ball over either a half court because
Speaker 2: if he'll step behind you, you better go up on
Speaker 2: the other side of the basket. You better not lay
Speaker 2: it up on the side that you beat him to, right,
Speaker 2: So if you do, he gonna pin it. It's funny
Speaker 2: that he might pin if you go to the other
Speaker 2: side too. Honestly, well, I don't think he thought. He
Speaker 2: ain't gonna be expecting that, but you better like, oh,
Speaker 2: oh my bad, I'm going up under here because if
Speaker 2: you if you pop, you can hear double tap just
Speaker 2: like in a block, you're that double thud DoD.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, I gotta give him some credit to though,
Speaker 1: with Ocho saying, you know you you his his his
Speaker 1: impeccable timing that he has on blocking them shots. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of guys seven two seven three, if we
Speaker 1: just be for real who can't block no damn shots
Speaker 1: like Wimby. You know, I just think he has impeccable timing,
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to blocking shots, and that's
Speaker 1: the skill in itself, let alone his ass being seventy five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he just a huge disadvantage. Bro, you put him up,
Speaker 1: think about this. You put Winby on Minnesota team, what
Speaker 1: the hell they gonna look like? Unbeatable?
Speaker 2: They unbeatable man and Wimby hear me, so got to
Speaker 2: be like having Shot and Kobe because we had never
Speaker 2: seen a guy that skilled as Shack at that size.
Speaker 2: Now I imagine putting four inches on shack a guy
Speaker 2: to be able to shoot the three. I think Shaq
Speaker 2: made one three like a like end of the end
Speaker 2: of the quarter end or something like that.
Speaker 1: He made a three.
Speaker 2: But imagine the Shack could shoot a three with his
Speaker 2: domination down on the block. Well that's what womby. Women
Speaker 2: is not as dominant, but women can shoot the mid range.
Speaker 2: Women got three, Women can post you up. So just
Speaker 2: imagine as he's a year three, can you imagine what
Speaker 2: women's gonna look like if he's still stay on this trajectory,
Speaker 2: still progress. Can you imagine what he's gonna look like
Speaker 2: at year six, at twenty five? Crazy?
Speaker 1: But here's what I'm saying. I'm saying, if you put
Speaker 1: him on Minnesota, they look unbeatable. Yeah, San Antonio and
Speaker 1: Minnesota got guard play. This elite in the NBA, meaning
Speaker 1: guys who can go get a basket and guys who
Speaker 1: can guard. Bro, you ain't just going in none of
Speaker 1: them dudes. All these dudes can play. So he ain't
Speaker 1: just got no any guard, is what I'm saying. He
Speaker 1: got some. He got some elite guard player, right, So
Speaker 1: I think that makes a huge difference, and it just
Speaker 1: you know it fits so well around him that he's
Speaker 1: able to play making times and he'll at seventy five
Speaker 1: handling the ball like a PG bro. That's just unguardable.
Speaker 2: When you look at Wemby, Wimby and San Antonio, he
Speaker 2: got guards that can shoot, but he don't have guys
Speaker 2: that can that can score, like with like ant Man,
Speaker 2: you see the difference, like there are other guys, but
Speaker 2: Shock had Kobe. Kobe could score. So now you got
Speaker 2: the Okay, you double ant Man. You really want to
Speaker 2: leave winby one on one with anybody? Mm hmm. Now
Speaker 2: see they don't have guys on the perimeter. I got
Speaker 2: a double. I ain't look as good as Castle and
Speaker 2: for Sale, and the only guy that I got to
Speaker 2: really double is Fox. But I gotta worry about Fox
Speaker 2: getting to the rim. Those aren't shot making. Ant Matter
Speaker 2: is a shot maker. Kobe was a shot maker. They're
Speaker 2: a difference between guys that can score and guys that
Speaker 2: can make shots. Kobe could score and make shots. I
Speaker 2: look at Castle, I look at a Sale, I look
Speaker 2: at those champions. I look at guys that can score.
Speaker 2: I don't look at shot makers. You look at so
Speaker 2: many shots that add they saw a pick at twenty
Speaker 2: two feet out and man rolls up over the entire
Speaker 2: thing and nailed a three. There ain't a whole lot
Speaker 2: of guys in the NBA can do that. Now, you
Speaker 2: pair that with seven four and a half that can
Speaker 2: shoot the three, can pull up from mid range, can
Speaker 2: put it on the floor at the top and get
Speaker 2: all the way down here and boom.
Speaker 1: No you can't, you can't. You can't let that be.
Speaker 1: You can't. Hey, and man, different type of confidence, uncle ojo, Yes,
Speaker 1: you know he he if you know quiet is kept
Speaker 1: not even quiet has kept here. He'll even tell you
Speaker 1: I know. He feels like he the baddest more fo
Speaker 1: out there on the court.
Speaker 2: Yes, you play like it.
Speaker 1: He walked like, hey, hey, you talking about uh? You
Speaker 1: know he don't feel like nobody in front of him
Speaker 1: was stopping. Bro, I love it can't this shot making
Speaker 1: the ability is as slow elee And I'm just thinking like, damn,
Speaker 1: he ain't even one hundred percent Imagically, this man was
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. But you know so a lot
Speaker 1: of times when you injured, bro, it make you focus
Speaker 1: a little harder too. You absolutely lock in, You make
Speaker 1: you lock in a lot more versus you just being,
Speaker 1: you know, feeling pretty damn good. So I think a
Speaker 1: man is locked in, Bro.
Speaker 2: When we look at Winby. In the history of the game,
Speaker 2: we've never seen a guy discomplete. We've never seen a
Speaker 2: guy seven four and a half can shoot the three,
Speaker 2: can get the mid range, can get all the way
Speaker 2: to the basket and flush it, and he's the best
Speaker 2: defender in basketball. We've never seen a guy this complete. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we've seen maybe a more skilled offense. Maybe if you
Speaker 2: look at Yo Kitchen, what he's able to do as
Speaker 2: far as passing the ball, shooting the three, the mid range,
Speaker 2: around the basket, Okay, cool, But what what is it
Speaker 2: Yo gonna give you on the defensive end, Yes, Shaq
Speaker 2: was more dominant. Yes, we've seen Admiral, we've seen a
Speaker 2: King Olajuwan, but they were not there putting the ball.
Speaker 2: I could get a ball to win and say, you
Speaker 2: know what, why today we're gonna run a large part
Speaker 2: of the game. We're gonna run it through you. So
Speaker 2: we want you on the ball, and I don't feel
Speaker 2: we'll have any problem. I watched the way he handled
Speaker 2: the ball, Bro, you ain't supposed to be able to
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 1: That ain't right, man, that ship borderline sheet bron You're.
Speaker 2: Not supposed to be six four, two hundred and forty
Speaker 2: pounds running four to three with a forty three inch vertical.
Speaker 2: That's not fair at the wide receiver.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not. And Joe, you know, you know you
Speaker 3: think about it. You don't play video game. But I'm
Speaker 3: sure a lot of people in the chat. I mean,
Speaker 3: obviously we have a lot of basketball fans, and I'm
Speaker 3: sure most of them played NBA two K.
Speaker 2: Wimby is nothing but a creative player. Himby is a
Speaker 2: creative player.
Speaker 3: That that you that you that you know you can
Speaker 3: dominate with on the video game. It just so happened.
Speaker 3: He's real in real life. He's exactly what you create
Speaker 3: when you play goddamn two K.
Speaker 1: Man, you ain't lying. It's crazy, it's wild, but he
Speaker 1: is a talent. And boy, san Antonio, they're good for
Speaker 1: the next fifteen to twenty years. Bro, it will be.
Speaker 2: I can't wait for Tuesday Night. This thing is gonna be.
Speaker 2: Don't even play Tuesday night? Yeap Tuesday Night?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah? Oh so they oh so they play Tuesday,
Speaker 2: then don't play again until Friday. Oh okay, Okay, they
Speaker 2: get three days off.
Speaker 1: Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's get to it.
Speaker 2: Let's get to it. Let's get to cloud the disrespect.
Speaker 3: Damn.
Speaker 2: The Knicks made eighteen three porters, which tied in the
Speaker 2: NBA record for I had regular season or half to
Speaker 2: lead by twenty four.
Speaker 1: They had was to take the heart. Oh man, what
Speaker 1: they've done.
Speaker 2: You look at the last three games against the Left,
Speaker 2: and you look at three of the last to these
Speaker 2: last two games, that's as hard as anybody's ever been.
Speaker 2: There are one hundred and forty four points to day
Speaker 2: of the most in playoff franchise street. They opened the
Speaker 2: first quarter with eleven made three pointers, which tied in
Speaker 2: the NBA postseason record. They'll wait the winner of the
Speaker 2: Pistons Cavaliers Detroit Leeds that series two to one, and
Speaker 2: we'll have at least, at the bare minimum a week
Speaker 2: offs off before the finals begin, which gives og more
Speaker 2: and more time to recover. Yeah, oh, Jo, this year
Speaker 2: cant right here.
Speaker 1: You look at it. Holes McBride got him off to
Speaker 1: the great start. He was.
Speaker 2: He made seven shots, all of them from the three.
Speaker 2: Jaylen Bronson was six to ten from the three. Josh
Speaker 2: Hart was four to six from the three, Cat two
Speaker 2: or three from the three. The Dyke was was one
Speaker 2: of one, Landry Shaman four six, Jose Alvarado one of two.
Speaker 2: When you add it up, they shot twenty five or
Speaker 2: forty four from the three. That's thirty seven percent. They
Speaker 2: shot forty nine to ninety one from the overall from
Speaker 2: the field, that's fifty four percent. If you let a
Speaker 2: team shoot fifty four percent from the lord fifty from.
Speaker 3: The three, Yeah, you gonna get beat by thirty. I
Speaker 3: told you what was gonna happen. I told y'all what
Speaker 3: was gonna happen. Y'all ain't believing me. Y'all think y'all
Speaker 3: got an elite ball knowledge. Joe, I know you play.
Speaker 2: I know you. I know you played the game.
Speaker 1: Joe.
Speaker 2: I respect, I respect what you had to say.
Speaker 3: But you told me, God damn, when they were playing
Speaker 3: the Hawks, you told me the Hawks were probably gonna
Speaker 3: beat the next That's what you told me.
Speaker 2: You told me.
Speaker 3: Jayleen Johnson, he was that boy. You told me City McCullum,
Speaker 3: he was gonna cook talking about what happened.
Speaker 2: Let me finish.
Speaker 3: Hey n, I'm on you. You told me in bed,
Speaker 3: you told me capviin two. Goddamn small cat couldn't do
Speaker 3: nothing and be down there whether it's in the whether
Speaker 3: it's down in the block or capt'in gonna have to
Speaker 3: go aut go down there to the goddamn three. He's
Speaker 3: gonna have to shoot three. They're gonna have to shoot
Speaker 3: the mini. But it wouldn't be be able to do
Speaker 3: noh and be down in the box with the cat
Speaker 3: show y'all all series long.
Speaker 2: Huh. I'm a three level score on what we talking about.
Speaker 2: I could do it all.
Speaker 3: They heard y'all to talk. They made twenty five threes.
Speaker 3: Twenty five threes. That's a postseason record. We talk about
Speaker 3: the next Huh? What we talking about? And the words

Speaker 2: Tell Paul George you get hup out of here too? Man?
Speaker 3: What's you talking about? And that's no disrespect to the
Speaker 3: Philly fan because you know, in the football season, I'm
Speaker 3: all for you and I love you. Come on that
Speaker 3: what we're talking about?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gilly, you know Gilly sick right now though, Man, man,
Speaker 2: you know Gilly sick.
Speaker 1: That's his tabot. Joe. He ain't been happy with him.
Speaker 1: I tell you I've seen him over the weekend. Gilly
Speaker 1: ain't happy. He ain't't been happy about that. I know
Speaker 1: he pissed out about this. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, I mean what, Joe, you make lemon threes in
Speaker 2: the first quarter? You makes eighteen and a half. You
Speaker 2: not losing?
Speaker 1: Oh, they were hitting on. I ain't gonna lie, Oh, Joe,
Speaker 1: I'll get a nick say credit. I ain't gonna hate them.
Speaker 1: You know, I get credit when credit is due. Them
Speaker 1: boys still hot from the damn series against.
Speaker 2: The Yes, yeah, yeah, you hear me.
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't forgot. Oh, g got hurt. I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna even lie to tell y'all, damn player. He's been
Speaker 1: the hottest player on that damn tam Man. Look he
Speaker 1: rid in his shoot like he ray Allen. I'm like,
Speaker 1: hold on, Bro, I'm talking about They wasn't missing, Bro.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about all ceilings and everything they threw up.
Speaker 1: Bro was going in and they want they win in
Speaker 1: the hustle last three games. I'm talking about, man. Listen,
Speaker 1: they did a number on them.
Speaker 2: Boy, Oh, I told you, I told you what gonna happen. Joe,
Speaker 2: y'all didn't.
Speaker 1: Want to listen to Oto. I was wrong, brother, I'm all.
Speaker 3: Right, all right, all right, you know what you you
Speaker 3: You're many a word, Joe.
Speaker 2: You're many a word except paying me my money.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna let that slap because you apologizing for
Speaker 3: being wrong talk about the seventy six was gonna beat
Speaker 3: and you need to apologize to talk about asking. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna stop, big body Brunton. But you see, man, Brussey, Man, sweet.
Speaker 2: I ain't even got no broom. I wish I had
Speaker 2: a broom.
Speaker 1: A question. The question is where does Philly go from here? Bro?
Speaker 1: Like real time, real time.
Speaker 2: I can tell you where they go.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, damn man, I'm talking about it. Get they
Speaker 1: got some decisions to make.
Speaker 2: Straight up, Dude, I don't believe as as currently constructed,
Speaker 2: I don't see how they get out the second round
Speaker 2: because you know the likelihood eighty two game season, what
Speaker 2: is the like Look, the man has played sixty eight games,
Speaker 2: at least sixty eight games once. Remember, oh yo, he
Speaker 2: missed his first two years if I'm not mistaken, So
Speaker 2: let that sink in. He's been in the league ten years.
Speaker 2: He's played at least sixty eight games once in his
Speaker 2: entire NBA career. So he's gonna put it. And it's
Speaker 2: hard because I don't know when I can count on him, Joe,
Speaker 2: that's tough. He might miss two weeks, Hey, Maxie, Paul George,
Speaker 2: edk him down the great rhythm then he comes back.
Speaker 2: They can't play that same way when he's on the court.
Speaker 2: You just can't. Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 1: Like I'm looking at it, I ain't gonna lie. I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, I know he won eight for eight, you know,
Speaker 1: and they basically couldn't stop him. But the game is
Speaker 1: so much it's so it's so much at a slower
Speaker 1: pace feel out there. It's so still out there, fellas,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, you guys can't. You
Speaker 1: cannot these these rhythm guys Edgcomb, Maxi, Paul George. Oh break,
Speaker 1: he can kind of, you know, dib and dab and
Speaker 1: do his thing. But for the most part, these rhythm
Speaker 1: guys just scores. Yeah, they just throwing it down there.
Speaker 1: Couldn't playing off himb It's like damn bro We down
Speaker 1: twenty damn points. Why don't we still running it? Why
Speaker 1: we running a set?
Speaker 2: And we got that we need to hit, Joe, we
Speaker 2: need to get shot up and we need to be
Speaker 2: big dam down here on there.
Speaker 1: But they have to walk the ball up. So goddamn much, Okay, Ojoe,
Speaker 1: you can't. I'm like, man, they got, yeah, they got
Speaker 1: They got to figure it out, bro, they got to
Speaker 1: figure it out.
Speaker 2: They gotta make some changing straight up. Hey, uncle Joe A.
Speaker 3: And bad starts his his max contract. It starts next year.
Speaker 3: Think I think it maybe a starting at fifty seven million.
Speaker 3: I think something maybe something like that year, A three year,
Speaker 3: three year, Yeah, so I think it's fifty seven sixty seven.
Speaker 2: And then I forgot what the what the third number?
Speaker 1: It was three year?
Speaker 2: It was three So however you get the three years,
Speaker 2: one ninety three, Joe, however you want to do it,
Speaker 2: whatever number you want to use, you can start off
Speaker 2: at fifty, but you know, you bout the end, you
Speaker 2: go damn to end up at sixty plus.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: So what I was gonna ask is when you talk
Speaker 3: about trusting the process, which I believe most a lot
Speaker 3: of people don't trust anymore at this point, is in
Speaker 3: bed still at seventy extra going into next year.
Speaker 2: Hold Joe, hold on, Wait a damn minute. We just
Speaker 2: had a discussion, Joe three days ago. This man ripped
Speaker 2: my head off. You ain't Joe got on me, and
Speaker 2: now you talking about where we're having a serious discussion
Speaker 2: about training. No, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3: I'm just asking a question because I mean, y'all supposed
Speaker 3: to have better ball knowledge than I do, but obviously
Speaker 3: y'all don't because y'all been wrong in the past two series.
Speaker 3: What y'all got to say? I already know the answers,
Speaker 3: y'all do.
Speaker 2: Joel considered the seventy sixty season success after just getting
Speaker 2: swept by the Knicks, and b said, I know we lost,
Speaker 2: and I know that's not the right mentality to have,
Speaker 2: but for me, this was a success. I came into
Speaker 2: the year not knowing where I was going to be,
Speaker 2: how long I was going to play, if I was
Speaker 2: even going to play, based on the knee of the
Speaker 2: last two years, and I came in hoping for the best.
Speaker 2: I feel like we're in position. We figured out the knee,
Speaker 2: it hasn't been an issue and be in per appeared
Speaker 2: in thirty eight regular season games, missed the first three
Speaker 2: games of the Celtics series, and missed game two of
Speaker 2: the next series. So Joel and b go from nineteen
Speaker 2: games to thirty eight games, gets swept in the second round,
Speaker 2: and somehow this is a success story. I think.
Speaker 3: I think his success story is more more about some
Speaker 3: of the things he's had to go through this year.
Speaker 3: Obviously the appendectomy, the knee bothering him, not knowing when,
Speaker 3: when and when he would be able to play, when
Speaker 3: he'd be available, which is one of the things that
Speaker 3: we talked about. Hell, not just us, countless you know
Speaker 3: networks that talked about the same things. I think that's
Speaker 3: the angle he meant when he said as far as
Speaker 3: having success, because getting bounced out the second round ain't
Speaker 3: nothing about that successful. I think he's just speaking from
Speaker 3: a personal standpoint and not the game itself.
Speaker 2: Well, he needed to play one on one basketball, because
Speaker 2: all I know you talking about, yeah, he had a success.
Speaker 1: Okay, you look at yours, except.
Speaker 2: God, he missed forty four regular season games. Yeah, how
Speaker 2: do Joe, And if I'm a general manager, how do
Speaker 2: I build a team around that when arguably one of
Speaker 2: your two best players is out half the time, How
Speaker 2: do I build a team because I basically I got
Speaker 2: to play one way when he's in when he's in
Speaker 2: the lineup, and I got to play a totally different
Speaker 2: way when he's out of it. If you look at
Speaker 2: if you look at the way OKAYC played, they play
Speaker 2: the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no matter what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you look at you look at san Antonio. They
Speaker 2: getting up and down even when he's on the court,
Speaker 2: even when he's off the court. Different bodies different when
Speaker 2: Joe l embiid is in the game, and when you
Speaker 2: down by that many points, why the hell are we
Speaker 2: running sets?
Speaker 1: We burned it two.
Speaker 2: We burned at sixteen eighteen seconds after damn clock. Y'all
Speaker 2: do realize we're not up thirty, we're down thirty.
Speaker 3: And matter of fact, I got a question when you
Speaker 3: when you when you're down thirty two, Joe, why don't
Speaker 3: they just go small? Just go just go small, because
Speaker 3: understanding that and B slows the game down. Hell, put
Speaker 3: somebody else in there.

Speaker 3: Hey, hey, hey, you know I stood on that table
Speaker 3: ten toes when we talked about him, be right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you talked about him not being available. I talked about
Speaker 3: what he looked like when he is available. Understanding Ice
Speaker 3: showed flashes you know, in this in this series, even
Speaker 3: though they weren't able to get a win. Joe, when
Speaker 3: that boy hot, when he cooking, well he cooking, when
Speaker 3: he got that thing down on the block. Huh, I'm
Speaker 3: just saying. I know they got I know they got whooped.
Speaker 2: I know he it ain't hurt a lot. But Joe, when.
Speaker 3: He's health then he's on fire. Well, he's unstoppable, Joe, Joe.
Speaker 1: It ain't about the points that he gets. It's how
Speaker 1: he plays. He walks up and down the court all
Speaker 1: of damn time.
Speaker 2: Man, they knew that before they signed him. It ain't
Speaker 2: He ain't ever looked like we He always been that way, Joe.
Speaker 2: Hold on, I'm missing something. I could have sworn. We
Speaker 2: had this very conversation, and it was a two on one.
Speaker 2: They beat me up, Joe like, hey, oh Joe, let's
Speaker 2: jump in cham chat about. Hold on, chack, I know
Speaker 2: they're punking me. Hold on, what chack?
Speaker 1: Are they punking me?
Speaker 2: He chang. I know they're not punking me there, Hey,
Speaker 2: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1: Slow down, turbow, slow down. Listen, man, I slew. I
Speaker 1: did not know that the country kick in for hundred
Speaker 1: ninety three. I didn't know that, I promise you. I
Speaker 1: thought the man was on bout a year. He had
Speaker 1: about a year or two left. Hey, hey, big fella,
Speaker 1: golla have to get into shape. They wanted to figure
Speaker 1: that one out.
Speaker 3: What's that figure out? It's guaranteed ain't nothing to figure out.
Speaker 1: It ain't. What I'm saying is he's stuck in Philly. Hell,
Speaker 1: what do you mean, Oh Joe? Let me that's your question.
Speaker 1: Don't Joe talk to me?
Speaker 2: Hey, take your time when you ask me. Now, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's three hundred and sixty five days in the year, Yes,
Speaker 2: hir so, just imagine you only gonna eat about two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty of those about two hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: of those days. Okay, Okay, how you feeling?
Speaker 1: How you looking?
Speaker 2: Damn? I probably be. And you've been doing and you've
Speaker 2: been doing this, and you've been doing this probably, say
Speaker 2: for like ten years. So three sixty five you only
Speaker 2: eating like one hundred and fifteen days of the year. Hey, honestly,
Speaker 2: I ain't looking too good.
Speaker 3: Uh probably probably probably live on the uh on the
Speaker 3: small side.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing, Oh Joe. It is so hard
Speaker 2: to build continuity. Oh Joe, you played the game. What
Speaker 2: they say? You can't make the club in the tub?
Speaker 2: How do I build an offense? How do I build
Speaker 2: a defense? How do I build a team around arguably
Speaker 2: one of my two best players. When I don't know
Speaker 2: if and when he's going to play, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: I've never said Joe ellenb couldn't play. I see what
Speaker 2: he is. He's an All NBA player, he's an All Star,
Speaker 2: and before the injury started amounting, he was an unbelievable
Speaker 2: defensive player. Given all that he's missed four hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty almost five hundred games in his career, he missed
Speaker 2: the entire first two years of a career, I just
Speaker 2: I just don't know. And that's that was My only argument,
Speaker 2: is that you're gonna get somebody else to hopefully try
Speaker 2: to take on this contract three years, one hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety two million. And what you know based on history
Speaker 2: is that what I do is that I look at history.
Speaker 2: This SMPEF. You're measuring the market. Okay, we know the
Speaker 2: market goes up. Sometimes it goes up eighteen, sometimes it
Speaker 2: drops three to four.
Speaker 1: But it's like this here.
Speaker 2: But it's consistent. What did Joel consistently being her injured
Speaker 2: and out? Can I tell you something?
Speaker 1: Yes, you can.
Speaker 3: When it comes to this business, I don't know basketball
Speaker 3: like you like y'all do. Somebody did somebody in the
Speaker 3: chat just said, why it's Ojo talking basketball because I
Speaker 3: got better better ball knowledge in.
Speaker 1: You cause you got a camera and a microphone.
Speaker 3: And he don't hate that. That that's why, And I
Speaker 3: know what I'm talking about. That's why I've been writing
Speaker 3: all series long. But even though Embiid has three three year,
Speaker 3: one hundred ninety three million, it just take one team.
Speaker 3: You just take one team that that that feel that
Speaker 3: it changes scenery might do him justice. Going somewhere else
Speaker 3: might do him justice. Yes, he's been hurt all this time,
Speaker 3: he's been in Philly, but long behold, Sometime when you
Speaker 3: change scenery, all of a sudden, boom, you're healthy. You
Speaker 3: get around different doctors, you get around different nutritions, you
Speaker 3: get around different.
Speaker 2: People that have a set a set plan for you.
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, while I.
Speaker 3: You healthy, it happens. I've seen it happen. And in
Speaker 3: all sports, whether it's basketball, all with this football, here
Speaker 3: with this track, you change coaches all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Now you're running faster.
Speaker 1: Hey, look when I when I'm watching the game here,
Speaker 1: o Joe, Maxie is come if I'm being one hundred,
Speaker 1: They don't even really look like they enjoyed playing with Indeed, Bro,
Speaker 1: you know it's like, you know, man, we downhill bandits.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We try to get money.
Speaker 1: You know, we can't even attack because you down here
Speaker 1: posting up edge trip down court. That's kind of that's
Speaker 1: that's just kind of what I see. That's how I
Speaker 1: feel when I'm watching it. I'm looking at facial expressions.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at demeanor. I'm looking at gestures. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at all in bro like it. Don't Bro, it don't
Speaker 1: look like they really enjoy playing with big fella. If
Speaker 1: I'm just keeping it real.
Speaker 2: Bro, Damn Joe, that's that's not nice, Joe.
Speaker 1: I'm just keeping it one hundred, Bro.
Speaker 2: I feel you. I feel you. I feel you.
Speaker 1: That's what you said. Something interesting you said. You've seen
Speaker 1: it before.
Speaker 2: You've seen guys, you know, leave teams and go to
Speaker 2: another team, You go to another coach. I take sending
Speaker 2: McLaughlin as an example. I can put it with Joanna Hayes,
Speaker 2: I can put it with John Smith, I can put
Speaker 2: it with I can put it with Dennis Mitchell. She'll
Speaker 2: still be great because her desire to be great and
Speaker 2: the work ethic. Yes, it doesn't matter who you put
Speaker 2: somebody with and where you send them to. What is
Speaker 2: your mindset? Will you be disciplined? Will you be committed?
Speaker 2: Because if you're not, all you did was change locations. Yes, sir,
Speaker 2: a polar bear is still the same whether he's in
Speaker 2: captivity or he's out. So if Joe ellenb still trains
Speaker 2: the same way, does the same thing, and maybe his
Speaker 2: body is too broken down, It's just hard to see
Speaker 2: a scenario where a man gets healthier as he gets older.
Speaker 2: I'm just it's just hard. I don't see it. I
Speaker 2: don't And O Joe, you're asking a man three hundred
Speaker 2: plus ods body. He's had back surgery, he had knee issues,
Speaker 2: had ankle issues, to run up and down the court
Speaker 2: seventy times a year, thirty five or forty minutes a night.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, Hey, that's another thing you watch how you
Speaker 1: watch your gallop up and down the court unking? O Joe, it, hey,
Speaker 1: look it looks like it's hard on him.
Speaker 2: Brother, it looked like it hurt me. My knees start
Speaker 2: hurting watching him, my back start hurt. I'm like, what damn.
Speaker 1: I fit?
Speaker 2: The difference is I'm fifty eight. All my kids older
Speaker 2: than Joel and Bee. So I got a right I
Speaker 2: got artificial hips, got bone on bone in my right knee.
Speaker 2: I get a knee replacement. I'm trying to postpone it.
Speaker 2: I look at joeler Bee and I want I said, well, damn,
Speaker 2: is that what I look like?
Speaker 3: What I walk?
Speaker 1: God, dully, so chat.
Speaker 2: I apologize if I look like Joel and Bed When
Speaker 2: y'all see me in the airport, y'all see me walking
Speaker 2: and target or something, I sincerely apologize because it looked
Speaker 2: like it hurt. Dude.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about just to sprint up and down the
Speaker 1: court a couple of trips and don't be a consecutive.
Speaker 1: Oh hes gonna pull out that walk on you. Yeah. Hey,
Speaker 1: look I think you're a hell of a talent too.
Speaker 1: I just don't know, man, when I'm looking at you know,
Speaker 1: I think Philly got elite guard play and the gestures
Speaker 1: throughout the game. I'm looking at off the playing that
Speaker 1: and it's like, damn, right, let me throw it down
Speaker 1: here go set this little, this little weak ass screen
Speaker 1: like I'm doing something. So he that's what it seemed
Speaker 1: like to me, bro, Like I'm gonna just keep it
Speaker 1: because look, you know, once to go in, once you throw,
Speaker 1: getting it back now it ain't really coming out. You know.
Speaker 1: He pretty much going at this man. You know him
Speaker 1: got a little back and forth. You know, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I just I don't know from from my eyes. From
Speaker 1: my eye, Yeah, it didn't seem like that. Those guys
Speaker 1: were really they weren't flying around like they was in
Speaker 1: the first couple of games.
Speaker 2: Just keep it real. It's hard to play with a
Speaker 2: guy like that and then max it like, Man, I'm
Speaker 2: an All star. I'm just coming into my own I'm
Speaker 2: giving you twenty eight heg. I mean see, I just
Speaker 2: came out with my new shoe. Hey, man, look I'm

Speaker 1: purpose this series. Yes, I think I think that the
Speaker 1: little back and forth between him and m B, which
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't really entertain a lot. Now, it
Speaker 1: was a lot of pustling and wrestling out there. If
Speaker 1: you asked me, yeah, I'm here for it. You know,
Speaker 1: the competition level was at all time high. I think
Speaker 1: both guys competed, But I think it hurted. It hurted
Speaker 1: Philly way more than it hurt the NIXT You know,
Speaker 1: I think you was thinking for me.
Speaker 2: Look I sat down with Cat and spending two hours
Speaker 2: with him and talking with him before the PARD and
Speaker 2: talking with how you not luck Cat? Yeah, I get it,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I get all that. But man, here,
Speaker 2: hey man, look here, he really really a good dude,
Speaker 2: and having a conversation with him and what he's had
Speaker 2: to deal with with this mom. His mom was his
Speaker 2: best friend. I'm talking about his absolute best friend. And

Speaker 3: First I told you how it was gonna play out, Joe,
Speaker 3: the Hawks playing the Knicks. I explained to you. Now
Speaker 3: I can bring it. I can break it down to you.
Speaker 3: I can break it down for your PowerPoint presentation if
Speaker 3: I need to. If the goddamn pissons get out that
Speaker 3: serious and show you why why the nicka gonna beat him?
Speaker 2: I can do that. But again, I'm trying. I know
Speaker 2: you play the game.
Speaker 3: I respect your ball knowledge, but so you thinking, you're
Speaker 3: thinking with your heart.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking with my mind.
Speaker 1: My Hawks, I was thinking with my heart. I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna lie. I have my heart.
Speaker 2: Joe. You Joe, that's your squad. Now, Joe, I know
Speaker 2: he ain't talking about no heart in it the way
Speaker 2: he be root for the Bengals, and you know, damn well,
Speaker 2: his Bengals ain't got no Joe. Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
Speaker 2: whoa to me a favor. Sim it down. It's not
Speaker 2: football season. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: I'm a I'm a basketball savant right now.
Speaker 2: I don't care nothing about footballball. Okay, yeah, remember remember
Speaker 2: that with his team, because he's gonna come back. Hey, Joe,
Speaker 2: what about your Falcons? My team just like your Facons.
Speaker 1: They did win.
Speaker 3: Hey, and just just remember, like, I'm not jumping on
Speaker 3: no band wagons. I don't want people to confuse the
Speaker 3: fact that I'm I'm you know, I'm going for the Knicks.
Speaker 2: I'm a Heath fan. I'm a Miami Heat fan.
Speaker 3: It's just you know, going back and forth, based on
Speaker 3: the series, we all had teams to pick. In the
Speaker 3: team that I continuously picked to go further just happened
Speaker 3: to be the Knicks.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: So I'm cheering for the Knicks, but I'm a Miami
Speaker 3: Heat fan. Always will be win or lose. But Joe,
Speaker 3: if even if the Calves come out the series or
Speaker 3: the Pistons, the Knicks are still going to win.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, I definitely don't believe that. I
Speaker 2: don't definitely don't believe the Cave can beat that. They
Speaker 2: not with those defenders that they got. Yeah, because they
Speaker 2: catching Hell, they catching Hell getting away and they got way.
Speaker 2: I think I think, uh uh, I think New York
Speaker 2: got more defenders when you got Josh Hart, Michale Bridges,
Speaker 2: you got o G. I think they got more defenders Hell, Hell, Alvarado,
Speaker 2: that little past.
Speaker 1: But guess what they are. They ain't gonna be doing

Speaker 1: nothing with him and experience out there. The problem you
