Speaker 1: On this episode of the Heat Check. Oh boy, it's
Speaker 1: the episode that Warriors fans have been waiting for. The
Speaker 1: Warriors are nine and one, folks, So I address the
Speaker 1: month long beef that I've had with dub Nation. We
Speaker 1: also get into the most improbable tag team beef I've
Speaker 1: ever seen in basketball. Jokic brothers, not Nikola Jokic, the
Speaker 1: other two Jokic brothers versus the Morris twins. Cannot make
Speaker 1: this ship up. So do me a favorite brock and
Speaker 1: drop that motherfucker beef. Today is dedicated to Golden State
Speaker 1: and the media and the fan base and really everyone
Speaker 1: on Twitter who is just coming at me in the
Speaker 1: comments nine and one, nine and one, nine and one,
Speaker 1: nine on one. And I do stand by my take
Speaker 1: that they are the most illusional fan base in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Like they believe that even when the Warriors were a
Speaker 1: lottery team, that they were somehow making progress, right they believe, oh, well,
Speaker 1: if it was just not for this and for that,
Speaker 1: we would have won the title. And it's like Warriors meet.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, Jonathan kamingas Jonathan coming is me Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Kmen is the future of the franchise is like
Speaker 1: you're lying. You know, Bob Myers is not as good
Speaker 1: as everybody wants them to us to believe, but they believe.
Speaker 1: They are standing and coming after you if you say
Speaker 1: anything negative about their team, and they are this way
Speaker 1: all of this week. They're usually smoking something, and this
Speaker 1: week they're smoking this is a new term, smoking that
Speaker 1: Trista pack, which means I am the source of getting
Speaker 1: murked online because why I was, I mean, I was wrong.
Speaker 1: I was wrong. It all began, folks, in August. Andy
Speaker 1: Lou is a friend of the show. Andy Lou and
Speaker 1: Sam s Vndiari host a podcast called The light Years Podcast,
Speaker 1: and they talk about the Warriors. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're really media or fans or what. And so Andy
Speaker 1: Lou puts on Twitter the Warriors should start nine and
Speaker 1: one even without Clay first ten games of the season.
Speaker 1: And we became friends. Actually last year when my take
Speaker 1: went cool when I said Steph wasn't Batman and then
Speaker 1: he went on an MVP. I think I'm actually good
Speaker 1: for the Warriors. Like every time I say something about them,
Speaker 1: the opposite happens. It wasn't great when I said they'd
Speaker 1: go to the finals, and they didn't even make it
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. So anyway, when he said they would
Speaker 1: go nine and one, my guy, Andy, I couldn't just
Speaker 1: allow this delusion to continue to persist unchecked. So this
Speaker 1: is what this is what I said. This is why
Speaker 1: I love Warriors. Media just delusional and fucking hilarious. My god, Andy, Lou,
Speaker 1: Warriors should start nine and one, even without Clay. Really,
Speaker 1: let's take a look at those first ten games, shall we? La? Lakers, LA, Clippers, Memphis, eh, Charlotte, Atlenta.
Speaker 1: Couldn't be five and five, could be six and four,
Speaker 1: but nine and one, you will not be. People got
Speaker 1: very mad at nine and one. You will not be,
Speaker 1: so folks, I was a little concerned. I was actually
Speaker 1: a little surprised that that video immediately went viral like that,
Speaker 1: immediately two months, three months early from the NBA season,
Speaker 1: ten games in thing went crazy. This was a logical take, like,
Speaker 1: no Warriors, no real national NBA person would say that
Speaker 1: the Warriors without Clay Thompson could beat the Lakers and
Speaker 1: the Clippers and the Grizzlies and the Hawks. The Hawks
Speaker 1: had just gone to the Eastern Conference finals, so people
Speaker 1: were like, oh, Tristan, I'm coming back and bookmarking this like, ooh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save this. And they did. They did save
Speaker 1: it too, they did. But I was confident. I was like,
Speaker 1: you do that, you do that, let's revisit this all good.
Speaker 1: And then sure enough the season came and the Warriors
Speaker 1: started rolling Lakers, dub Clippers, dub Sacramento of course, dub OKC,
Speaker 1: DUB Memphis, l OKC, dub New Orleans dub and along
Speaker 1: the way. Along with every Warriors win, I continued, this
Speaker 1: video kept getting resurfaced, Hey, where are you at? Who's
Speaker 1: here for? Who's here? Where the Warriors are? Three and one?
Speaker 1: Who's here for the Warriors? Four and one? Who's here
Speaker 1: for the Warriors? Five? One? Every victory was like a snowball,
Speaker 1: just running going faster and faster downhill, like the momentum
Speaker 1: is building. And then things really came to an impetus,
Speaker 1: a inflection point, if you will, when the Warriors beat Charlotte.
Speaker 1: Charlotte was the win when I said to myself, ooh,
Speaker 1: the math. The math is not in my favor right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's getting a little tight. This six
Speaker 1: and four, this seven and three, this eight and two,
Speaker 1: even is starting to get a little improbable for me.
Speaker 1: And then of course Andy loo back into my mentions
Speaker 1: after that win, he responded, quote, tweeted it again, brought
Speaker 1: it back to the top of the timeline and said,
Speaker 1: Queen we coming, and they came. Boy, yes, they did
Speaker 1: screenshots of my TikTok everywhere the little like I made
Speaker 1: a face like and that screenshot became a meme on
Speaker 1: like a blunt is my face? Were smoking a Trista
Speaker 1: pack one more, two more game? As we smoking that
Speaker 1: Trista peck, God, they were going to smoke me. Jordan Poole,
Speaker 1: him sliding into the camera starts becoming the meme of
Speaker 1: who's here for Trista criek being ratioed online. It even
Speaker 1: made it to Freezing Cold Takes, and you know things
Speaker 1: go viral when you make it to freezing cold takes. Listen.
Speaker 1: Nine and one was a ridiculous assertion, me saying that,
Speaker 1: and a ridiculous assertion might not come true. Isn't that ridiculous?
Speaker 1: So then the Warriors only had left the Rockets and
Speaker 1: the Hawks. Let me tell you, the Rockets they're not
Speaker 1: winning any games this year. So it was the Hawks,
Speaker 1: and everyone knows I love some kvon looney, uh, but
Speaker 1: I really love kvon Herder. His name's Kevin, but when
Speaker 1: the crunch time comes, he becomes Cavan. I love Clint
Speaker 1: Capella and I'm all about Ice Tray. So I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: let's go. Okay, Hawks, don't let me down? Hawks, And
Speaker 1: the video just continues to go viral and more viral.
Speaker 1: Who's here before the Warriors played Trey Young? Who's here?
Speaker 1: Who's here for that? Okay? What do I do next?
Speaker 1: People are salivating the time is here, Warrior sights. We're
Speaker 1: blogging about this game before it even happened, Like one
Speaker 1: more game and Trista Creek is wrong? What am I?
Speaker 1: Stephen A Smith? I'm not stephen A Smith? What is
Speaker 1: going on here? So then the game tips off and
Speaker 1: the Hawks are up fifteen points and I'm like, Hawks
Speaker 1: are up? This could be listen and to hedge and
Speaker 1: to hedge my pain. I did take the Warriors minus three,
Speaker 1: like I did bet Warriors minus three in case the
Speaker 1: inevitable happens, I at least win money. And then I'm
Speaker 1: sort of right, and then I'm like, Okay, I'll lose
Speaker 1: some money for this take to technically be right on
Speaker 1: a technicality, I would still be right. And then Steph
Speaker 1: went absolutely nuclear. Steph fifty points drops fifty points on
Speaker 1: the last game. I'm like, Steph, here heard it. Steph
Speaker 1: had to have heard it. He's like, this is it.
Speaker 1: This is the tenth game. I'm gonna absolutely go bonkers.
Speaker 1: I'm literally gonna hit every shot from half court. Literally
Speaker 1: if I had a dollar for every time the announcer
Speaker 1: said Steph Curry heat check. And I was like, they're
Speaker 1: talking about my podcast right now, Steph Curry heat another.
Speaker 1: That's three heat checks for Steph Curry. And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is, it is. We're gonna talk about this tomorrow. Yes, boy.
Speaker 1: We did so to all of that. To say, how
Speaker 1: do I wriggle out of this? I don't think I can.
Speaker 1: The Warriors are nine to one, and I was wrong,
Speaker 1: And you know, I wasn't really wrong, because it was
Speaker 1: we're in the prediction business. But I was wrong when
Speaker 1: I firmly asserted that nine and one they would not
Speaker 1: be because that nine and one right now they are.
Speaker 1: And to be fair, I didn't say they would go
Speaker 1: six and four. I said they could go six and four.
Speaker 1: Hurt people. That's a very nuanced distinction. It's not technicalities.
Speaker 1: So let's break down what's happening with the Warriors. Now,
Speaker 1: all of that to say, we gave you the backstory.
Speaker 1: What's happening? Who are the Warriors? Ten games into the season.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do three things. I'm gonna tell you what
Speaker 1: happened that I saw coming, what happened that I absolutely
Speaker 1: did not see coming, because there were some things. And finally,
Speaker 1: because the Warriors still the fan base, excuse me, the
Speaker 1: Warriors fan base is still delusional. I'm gonna throw a
Speaker 1: little splash, little cool water on you because they are
Speaker 1: now already planning their victory prey. They're already spending money
Speaker 1: on finals tickets like they are. That's where they are, like,
Speaker 1: That's why I troll them. Here's what I saw coming.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry is Batman. Steph Curry is going to have
Speaker 1: an MVP season. Steph Curry is going to go nuclear
Speaker 1: on many nights. He is going to be musty TV.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about him all season. Tenth career
Speaker 1: fifty point game, tenth fifty point game. He is the
Speaker 1: oldest player in the NBA history to ever drop fifty
Speaker 1: with ten assists at thirty plus years old. Underneath him
Speaker 1: is Wilt Chamberlain at thirty one. Another thing I saw
Speaker 1: coming was Jordan Poole killing it. I mean, everyone on
Speaker 1: Earth said that it would be this breakout year and
Speaker 1: that Jordan Poole would be that way, and he did.
Speaker 1: And he bowled the last ten games of last year.
Speaker 1: So he averaged eighteen a game the last ten games,
Speaker 1: and he's averaging eighteen now. So yeah, Jordan Poole. Could
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole, though, be as much of a consistent force
Speaker 1: a safety valve for Steph until Clay came back. I
Speaker 1: did not know. I wasn't. It wasn't affirm no, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't affirm yes. But also what I did see
Speaker 1: coming that a lot of folks did not see coming
Speaker 1: because they're still mad about this take, is that Kaminga
Speaker 1: and Moses Moody or Moses Moody as Kendrick Perkins would
Speaker 1: call him, our G League players, they are not guys
Speaker 1: you will lean on in any form or fashion. Because
Speaker 1: everybody was saying, oh yeah, and Kaminga is gonna be
Speaker 1: able to play right away, and as soon as him
Speaker 1: and Moses Moody and why no, those three guys are
Speaker 1: non factors. Then the most respectful way I can disrespect
Speaker 1: those three is right now, they are non factors. They're
Speaker 1: both all of them right now. Wiseman, Moody, Kaminga all
Speaker 1: relegated in some way to the G League. So those
Speaker 1: are the things that did not surprise me. But there
Speaker 1: were things that did right. First of all, Andre Gudalla
Speaker 1: I thought was washed. I thought he was washed. I did.
Speaker 1: I can't lie. He went to Memphis, sat nowhere, he
Speaker 1: was at home on on his bed. Basically, he was
Speaker 1: not doing anything. He told the world, I'm not playing
Speaker 1: basketball for the Memphis Grizzlies. They are trash. I'm only
Speaker 1: going to a contender. Ended up taking a buy out
Speaker 1: to Miami, excuse me. And then I don't know what happened,
Speaker 1: but pat Riley and Eric Spolster didn't really use Andrea Goodall,
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, they didn't use Andrea Woodall
Speaker 1: probably because he's old as fuck. Right, he is old.
Speaker 1: He was a Finals MVP. Does he have enough? He
Speaker 1: was a two way guy that once you lose a
Speaker 1: little athleticism, you are now non relevant. I tell you
Speaker 1: what it was like. Andrea Gudala went into a cryogenic
Speaker 1: freezer in Miami, the heat version of the cryo infrared sauna,
Speaker 1: where he literally just I don't know, turn if I
Speaker 1: could turn back home, you know, like that, That's what
Speaker 1: Andre Gudala did in Miami. Like he is now back
Speaker 1: in Golden State, which is the only place that he
Speaker 1: wanted to play, Only Golden State. I think there was
Speaker 1: like a little like chatter about the Nets, but not really.
Speaker 1: He really wanted to go back to the place that
Speaker 1: he actually lives. And now it's like, holy shit, Andrea
Speaker 1: Guidala is actually dunking. It's like when Blake Griffin went
Speaker 1: to the Nets and you're like, oh, yeah, you were
Speaker 1: playing possum. You weren't actually old, you weren't actually injured,
Speaker 1: you were not washed. You just wanted the world to
Speaker 1: think you were washed so that they would buy you
Speaker 1: out for nothing, literally, so you would be discarded so
Speaker 1: you could go to the place you really wanted to play. Right.
Speaker 1: I did not see that move coming. I did not
Speaker 1: see that move coming. Uh. He is anchoring the defense,
Speaker 1: which we'll get to in a second. That shocking start
Speaker 1: is because of the defense. They they were a top
Speaker 1: five defense the last twenty games of last season, but
Speaker 1: they had some real struggles midway through. Like they right
Speaker 1: now have a defensive rating of ninety seven, which is absurd,
Speaker 1: Like that is to communicate how ridiculous that is is,
Speaker 1: Like nobody's even under a hundred besides them, Like they
Speaker 1: are the only team that's holding opponents to less than
Speaker 1: one hundred points. No other team below one hundred. And
Speaker 1: they're doing that because of Andre Guidalla. They're doing that
Speaker 1: because Iggy and Draymond Green as a duo are like, yo,
Speaker 1: we are gonna be back to this tough, nose, gritty,
Speaker 1: defensive minded team. And they're coaching players like b A Leicha.
Speaker 1: Be A Leichia is a defensive liability mostly on paper,
Speaker 1: and right now he's playing great defense. Did not see
Speaker 1: that coming. Another thing I did not see coming, which
Speaker 1: we need to talk about is at depth, Like I
Speaker 1: saw that Rasher, I'm like, oh god, they really who
Speaker 1: is gonna give them buckets? Is it? Because it can't
Speaker 1: be Draymond Green. Draymond Games and Green's gonnave you eight
Speaker 1: points a night, Like so you got Steph with fifty,
Speaker 1: He can't average fifty a night. So Steph with thirty five, right,
Speaker 1: and then you got Draymon with ten maybe eight, So
Speaker 1: that's forty three forty three points. Where's the rest of
Speaker 1: the points coming from? Okay, then Jordan Poole, we'll call
Speaker 1: it eighteen do the man. They're like, okay, I'm like
Speaker 1: a halfway to one hundred, right, where is it all
Speaker 1: coming from? You got Ubre chucking, he's gone, baysmore chucking,
Speaker 1: He's gone. That ended up being a great thing for
Speaker 1: them because the ball stoppers now they're in motion. Now
Speaker 1: everything's moving, people are cutting without the ball. They're playing
Speaker 1: the almost like the Beautiful Game version of basketball. Strengthen numbers.
Speaker 1: Damian Lee averaging twelve points a game. I can't believe that.
Speaker 1: You got Bielichi. He's playing his part, andre Iguodala, he's
Speaker 1: giving them buckets. I don't know what's happening. I actually
Speaker 1: still can't really make sense of it. You look at
Speaker 1: the box score and you're like, I don't really understand
Speaker 1: and how those numbers all add up to one point fifteen.
Speaker 1: But they do. They lire like two points here, four
Speaker 1: points there, six points there, seven points there. It's like
Speaker 1: literally Steph Pool and then a bunch of random little
Speaker 1: sprinkle sprinklings like little salt and pepper, little oregano, little
Speaker 1: time like and then they're the meat, right and then
Speaker 1: you're like, oh yeah, they're getting green beans and matted potatoes.
Speaker 1: Back Klay Thompson's coming, He's gonna give you who knows
Speaker 1: twenty five and Gary freaking Peyton Junior the second whatever
Speaker 1: each one. I don't know. He's leading. He's second in
Speaker 1: the NBA in three point percentage, fifty six percent. So
Speaker 1: it's Lee, Balicha, Peyton and Toscano. Those are guys. Those
Speaker 1: are not guys, you know what I mean. They're not guys.
Speaker 1: They're guys in this system, but they're not stars. The
Speaker 1: coaching staff I had no idea about either. Like Kenny
Speaker 1: Atkinson is known for his player development, and to be fair,
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors basically looked like track on the
Speaker 1: development side, and they cleaned house, bought, hired, hired, we'll
Speaker 1: call it hired, but bought all new coaches to help
Speaker 1: them with the development. And that shit is wor king,
Speaker 1: I tell you what. Wh Draymond and Iguidala and Kenny Atkinson.
Speaker 1: He's also known for like his ridiculous practices and training regimen,
Speaker 1: and like it's like Tom Thibodeau came to Golden State.
Speaker 1: That's that's Kenny Atkinson and they're like, wow, okay, so
Speaker 1: they are playing that beautiful game defensive minded. But on
Speaker 1: top of that, another low key thing I didn't see
Speaker 1: coming was rebounding. They are insanely good at rebounding despite
Speaker 1: not having a single player averaging more than eight point
Speaker 1: eight rebounds a game. Like that's crazy, Like they're all
Speaker 1: just rebounding like crazy because the stop is really no
Speaker 1: good if you're not getting the rebound, because if they
Speaker 1: get the rebound off a stop, it's basically like the
Speaker 1: defense didn't even exist. You wear yourself out, nothing, nothing
Speaker 1: works there. Getting stops then secures the boards. Then that
Speaker 1: gets them out in the transition. Too much nerd talk,
Speaker 1: but pretty much the Warriors in that case, when they
Speaker 1: get rebounds and they get stops, they are unstoppable. Drouble
Speaker 1: drive hit threes, Night Night Sleep Mask. So all of
Speaker 1: that to say, the Warriors don't have to have State
Speaker 1: Steph wear the Cape anymore. Steph goes nuclear, but he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to go nuclear, if that makes sense, that's
Speaker 1: a huge difference. So now here's where we get to
Speaker 1: the cold water portion. I'm sorry Warriors fans, but there
Speaker 1: is something ridiculous happening, and the nine and one has
Speaker 1: only fueled it. Right. They now believe, you know, believe
Speaker 1: in Ted Lassel and like believe Warriors, like we believe
Speaker 1: team like the Warriors fan base now says we are
Speaker 1: winning the title. Let me just be very very clear,
Speaker 1: you are not winning the title this year. They probably will,
Speaker 1: They probably will now, they probably will. Now they let
Speaker 1: me just look at the camera and say, if you
Speaker 1: win the title after November ninth, twenty twenty one, you're
Speaker 1: fucking welcome. You are fucking This happened with the Bucks,
Speaker 1: has happened with the Bucks. Actually, right around now, eleven
Speaker 1: games into the season, I said the Bucks would never
Speaker 1: win the title, and they won it. So you're welcome.
Speaker 1: So you're welcome. Back to that, back to that. These
Speaker 1: these fans aren't even satisfied with the hot start. They
Speaker 1: are now crowning them the kings of the West. They're
Speaker 1: now saying that they are ridiculous and like the title contender.
Speaker 1: I went on ninety five point seven the game today
Speaker 1: and they were like, are you ready to crown us?
Speaker 1: And I'm like no, and they're like, we'll crown them
Speaker 1: for you. I'm not trying to harsh your mellow dub nation.
Speaker 1: I'm just being realistic. You haven't beaten anyone at all yet,
Speaker 1: you haven't beaten anyone at the top of the standings.
Speaker 1: Yet you have zero wins against anyone in the top
Speaker 1: six of either conference. Like that is something to point out, right,
Speaker 1: like something to keep an eye on. You look good,
Speaker 1: but you look good against losing teams. Thirty three and
Speaker 1: fifty nine are your combined opponents winning stats. That is
Speaker 1: forty percent winning. If you were to take that, that
Speaker 1: is a top that is a bottom six team in
Speaker 1: the NBA, Like they are the bottom of the barrel
Speaker 1: teams that you have played against in one So Memphis
Speaker 1: you should have beaten and you didn't, and they are
Speaker 1: still kind of right there. Let's circle back ten fifteen
Speaker 1: games down the road. Really, let's circle back in January
Speaker 1: after you played the Box and the Nets and the
Speaker 1: Sixers and the Sons and Nuggets, and that you haven't
Speaker 1: played any of those teams. Let's not pretend also that
Speaker 1: this team hasn't had hot streaks before. They might have
Speaker 1: just had them in the beginning of the season in
Speaker 1: the most ridiculously easy hot, like ten to fifteen game
Speaker 1: stretch anybody's had in the NBA. I don't even know
Speaker 1: how they got that. Adam Silver just gifting them an
Speaker 1: easy hot start. They had many times last year they
Speaker 1: were super hot and then they went ice cold. There
Speaker 1: was a reason that I said the Warriors could go
Speaker 1: to the finals last year because of this. This right here,
Speaker 1: this team can be this. Will they be this in
Speaker 1: times where the playoffs and they trap stuff and then
Speaker 1: he's turning the ball over. Oh boy, now we go.
Speaker 1: Here we go again? Right. I get Warriors fans that
Speaker 1: you think that this year is different. I think this
Speaker 1: year is different too. I love that the Warriors are
Speaker 1: getting their swagger, and more importantly, clay Back. I love that.
Speaker 1: I hope he's fully healthy. I want him to shoot.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a defensive stopper. I want to
Speaker 1: be mobile. I want to be healthy. I like it
Speaker 1: when they're good, despite what people think. I like the
Speaker 1: Warriors being good. But it is too early for this.
Speaker 1: It's too early for this. It's too early to be
Speaker 1: like Trista dynasty back on banners. We're just planning out
Speaker 1: where the banners are gonna go, or we're doing our
Speaker 1: ring sizing. Even andre Iguidal is like, yo, we haven't
Speaker 1: played anybody. We haven't played anybody, he said, the hots teams,
Speaker 1: the team's hot start. Okay, it's okay. He noted that
Speaker 1: favorable schedule to open the year. No, shit, it's favorable.
Speaker 1: What did I say? It was thirty three and fifty
Speaker 1: nine combined winning percentage. Yeah, that is a very favorable schedule.
Speaker 1: Nine of Golden State's first twelve games are at home,
Speaker 1: so yeah, not quite ready to eat all the crow,
Speaker 1: just a little piece of the crow's foot. So my
Speaker 1: final message to you guys is fucking beat somebody before
Speaker 1: you get all up in my mensions, before we start
Speaker 1: sizing guys for their rings, shall we? And in the meantime,
Speaker 1: you're fucking welcome.
Speaker 2: I'm like this tag team back again. Check get torec kid,
Speaker 2: let's begin party on part of people. Let me hear
Speaker 2: so nor as DC's in the house jump jump rejoices
Speaker 2: of the party over Yeah a party over the way behind.
Speaker 1: Said yeah, sick the dead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, these three words mean you didn't Zay, whoa.
Speaker 1: It is, Get me the beef. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: I needed. Oh my god, inject it into my veins.
Speaker 1: So here's the story. Uh really this real quick recap.
Speaker 1: Nikola Jokic is a hard rock. He is a fucking monster.
Speaker 1: He is he's very jolly. He's not playing any games.
Speaker 1: He is not playing any games. He he wants all
Speaker 1: the smoke. Not only does he want all the smoke,
Speaker 1: all his family wants all the smoke. Right. So here's
Speaker 1: what happened during the game where the Nuggets somehow someway
Speaker 1: beat the shit out of Miami Heat. I don't even
Speaker 1: know how. I don't know how without Michael Porter Jr.
Speaker 1: Mark Keith Morris decided he was going to put a
Speaker 1: hard elbow into Yolkic's back like a side swipe. But
Speaker 1: he also put his knee behind Yokic's knee while he
Speaker 1: did that. Very dirty, fucking play, very dirty, and as
Speaker 1: he walked away, yok is not having any of that bullshit.
Speaker 1: He basically got a head running start and body checked
Speaker 1: Mark Keith Morris in the back. He fell fucking hard,
Speaker 1: got him boom drops, rolls around in pain. It's a scene.
Speaker 1: It's a scene to behold. Scuttle button happens on the court,
Speaker 1: as it always does. Refs come in, both guys get ejected,
Speaker 1: and then Jimmy Butler comes in and he's like, Yo,
Speaker 1: bring your ass to the back, bring your ass to
Speaker 1: the back. Let's right, bring that shit to the back,
Speaker 1: right now, let's fight. You know, he's basically like doing
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Butler I'm so tough thing you know that
Speaker 1: he does. I can't actually tell if Jimmy Butler's tough,
Speaker 1: but he seems pretty tough. I think it's just his
Speaker 1: teeth mostly, like his teeth are not fully straight, so
Speaker 1: it makes him look more tough than he is. That's
Speaker 1: just my thought on that. And then things did not
Speaker 1: calm down yet all. I don't know why, but it does.
Speaker 1: Things did not calm down at all. During the postgame pressers,
Speaker 1: Eric Spolster, head coach of the Heat, went in, this
Speaker 1: is what he said. That was a very dangerous and
Speaker 1: dirty play. Keith took a foul and it was one
Speaker 1: of those fast break take fowls. Basically making excuses for
Speaker 1: Mark Keith Morris, which he shouldn't have done. And then
Speaker 1: he did it with his shoulder. You might deem that
Speaker 1: as a little bit more than just slapping somebody. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do demant more than that. Yes, But after watching
Speaker 1: it on film, it was a take foul. Remember we
Speaker 1: talked about this before. I don't know really when the
Speaker 1: term take foul became a thing. Oh, there's a simple
Speaker 1: take foul. That's how I saw it. And after the play,
Speaker 1: what Jokic did was just absolutely uncalled for. You just
Speaker 1: never see he's supposed to do in that Like it
Speaker 1: was a scene. Like I said, Jokics responded this way
Speaker 1: during his postgame presser. Yeah, I thought it was a
Speaker 1: dirty foul, a dirty shot. Me and Bam were basically
Speaker 1: fighting the whole night. It was a nice fight. I
Speaker 1: think you can play fair and still play aggressive and
Speaker 1: fight with your guy, but it was a little over
Speaker 1: the edge. That's why I reacted. I'm not supposed to
Speaker 1: react that way. But the truth is I need to
Speaker 1: protect myself. So yeah, if you thought getting a little
Speaker 1: night sleep rest would uh see cooler heads prevail. Oh
Speaker 1: you're wrong, you are wrong. Things have gotten even more
Speaker 1: heated in the daytime today. What we got instead was
Speaker 1: somehow someone a tag team match where the Jokic brothers
Speaker 1: somehow got involved. They created listen to this, They created
Speaker 1: a brand new Twitter account as a as a duo.
Speaker 1: Like can you imagine close your eyes for a second
Speaker 1: and imagine the Jokic brothers, two seven footers that are
Speaker 1: brothers with the kol Jokic with tattoos and hard rocks,
Speaker 1: and they're sitting next to each other, huddled up trying
Speaker 1: to figure out how to open a Twitter account so
Speaker 1: that they they don't even have an avvy. They don't
Speaker 1: even know how to put a profile picture up. That's
Speaker 1: how new to this they are. But they're like twin
Speaker 1: brother of Marquise Moore, Mark Markkeith Morris, Marcus Morris is
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Let's fucking go, let's fucking let's go in
Speaker 1: huddle up making Twitter account. Did own his ass, right
Speaker 1: own his ass. This is what they do. And then
Speaker 1: they follow one person and it's just Jamal Murray like amazing,
Speaker 1: and people on Twitter are like, hey, I know that
Speaker 1: Jokic and Jamal are very close, but that is a
Speaker 1: menacing follow, like it being the only follow is a
Speaker 1: little scary, a little obsessive and scary. So if you
Speaker 1: thought that the Marcus the Morris twins would let the
Speaker 1: whole things lie. I mean, you just don't know them.
Speaker 1: They are dogs. So Mark Heath's brother Marcus dropped this
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He said, wait till Bro turned his back smh,
Speaker 1: noted ominous noted. Then Marcus Morris tweeted, oh no, so
Speaker 1: then actually the Then the Jokic Brothers tweeted, you should
Speaker 1: leave this the way it is instead of publicly threatening
Speaker 1: our brother. Oh boy, your brother made the dirty play first.
Speaker 1: If you want to make a step further, be sure.
Speaker 1: Oh god, we will be waiting for you. Exclamation mark,
Speaker 1: exclamation mark. Jokic Brothers. They literally sign the tweet Jokich Brothers.
Speaker 1: It's like when your mom texts you, hey, make sure
Speaker 1: you pay your insurance bill. It's due tomorrow. Mom. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I have you saved in my phone. This is like
Speaker 1: ww eating me. It's like, you guys can't really be
Speaker 1: meaning this, can't you? Like this is fake? This is
Speaker 1: totally real, but it's totally faked. So many threats, so
Speaker 1: much allusions to violence, Like you want to take it
Speaker 1: out back. I don't think you're ready for this, Jelly,
Speaker 1: and you're like, what did you just say? I don't
Speaker 1: think you're ready for this jelly. It sounds very scary
Speaker 1: but also sexual. I don't know what's happening, and so
Speaker 1: if you think to yourself, like me, this is fucking fake.
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets reporter Mike Singer, a notable scumbag still a reporter, tweeted, this,
Speaker 1: just got a text from Yokiic's brother. This is their
Speaker 1: real account, responding to Marcus Morris's tweet last night, this
Speaker 1: is their real account. They just made a brand new
Speaker 1: account for these purposes. Not a burner with some fake
Speaker 1: person trying to stir up drama. Nope, it's them. So
Speaker 1: then Marcus Moore's tweeted this, you got the right ones
Speaker 1: believe that, like, well, we will go outside. Basically, we
Speaker 1: will take it to the streets. Get some violence. If
Speaker 1: you want this violence, you're the right We're the right twins.
Speaker 1: You're the right brothers for the job. What And then
Speaker 1: the Djokis brothers responded, I don't believe that. I know
Speaker 1: that I know that we're ready for the streets. So
Speaker 1: we don't believe that we're ready for the streets. We're
Speaker 1: from fucking Serbia. Nobody in their right minds would pick
Speaker 1: a fight with three seven foot brothers from a war
Speaker 1: torn country except for the Marcus Morris Markith Morris twins.
Speaker 1: That's how you know the beef has gotten to a
Speaker 1: boiling point. Apparently Jokich is kind of a dirty player
Speaker 1: on the court as an aside, and so people are
Speaker 1: kind of fed up with his bullshit and he's an MVP,
Speaker 1: jolly old Jokic, and it's like, no, he's kind of dirty.
Speaker 1: So then Shannon Sharp of course had to come in.
Speaker 1: You can't have a real Twitter beef on the NBA
Speaker 1: without Shannon Sharp jumping in. But he's like, Yokich has
Speaker 1: the right to protect himself. And Marcus Morris of course
Speaker 1: quote tweets and he's like, man, shut your drunk ass up.
Speaker 1: What is is Shannon Sharp junk all the time? And
Speaker 1: I just don't know because he just called him drunk.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I don't know. He does kind
Speaker 1: of sound. He does have Hennessy on set a lot
Speaker 1: now that you mention it. Actually he does so much
Speaker 1: tea in the streets. But Mark Keith Morris cooled the
Speaker 1: temp down, cool the temp way down, and he goes
Speaker 1: I love to see the hate, no doubt. I took
Speaker 1: a hard foul which I always do, but I've never
Speaker 1: hit a man with his back turned. Luckily, we built
Speaker 1: different over here. Wait, you don't think they're built differently
Speaker 1: differently in Serbia. They are. Let me just say this,
Speaker 1: they will do some things. I can take my licks
Speaker 1: and keep pushing Joker one smooth zero lol ah. And
Speaker 1: then I love the collective loyalty and support from the
Speaker 1: rest of the Nuggets organization, which listen like for those
Speaker 1: who are not thinking about this, like these are the
Speaker 1: Denver Colorado Nuggets pretending, I don't think pretending becoming the
Speaker 1: hard rock team in the West. Uh. PJ. Doser, notable
Speaker 1: role player who struggles to stay healthy, says, everyone in
Speaker 1: stay ready, just like we do. We're a team full
Speaker 1: of guys that aren't going to back down. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna lay down. We've got each other's back. I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess. PJ. Doser, maybe stay out of it. I
Speaker 1: just can't wait. I just cannot wait for the next
Speaker 1: time that the Miami Heat played the Denver Nuggets. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll get him in the finals. That would be something,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. Cannot wait? Do not fuck with a couple
Speaker 1: of triple of Serbian brothers that's all the time that
Speaker 1: we have for the heat Check podcast. We will be
Speaker 1: back very early Friday morning with a special interview with
Speaker 1: the guys from the light Years podcast. Yes we will.
Speaker 1: That should make Warriors fans very happy. They're going to
