We got Steve Jack 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.520 the damn certain file. Let's get it. Thank you, brother doll. 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.760 Let's get it. Lots going on in the league, Lots 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:14.760 going on, league. I gotta ask you just before we 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.720 kick it off. Hold on, Nate, hold a right, man, 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:22.079 Joe watching the league? Man, man, why don't we have 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:27.800 h Why I can't Carmelo Anthony, DeMarcus Russell, DeMarcus Cousins, 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.760 Carmelo Anthony, Why why aren't whyren't Why aren't these players 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.440 still in the league. Dwight Howard still has good basketball 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.120 in them, Bro, tell tell me why these players aren't 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:38.680 in the league. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.120 Well, One, you're talking about guys that march to the 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.319 beat of their own drum. You can't just tell them 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.640 what to do, especially in the game of basketball or 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.240 something they've been doing their whole life. And I respect 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.360 that because you can't tell me nothing about basketball. 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:52.479 So I respect that. 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.680 And two, these guys play the game with a certain 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.120 passion and a certain way that they. 0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:59.960 Don't want in the NBA no more. 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.520 And and and I think that's why they're not in 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.600 the game. The Marcus Cousins is a big, mean fella. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.479 He plays a game in a certain passion, a certain 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.320 way that you don't see in the game at all. 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.240 You know, Dwight Howard is a big, mean guy out 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.720 there in China where I think Chinaman getting seventy points 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:15.640 in fifty. 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.280 Rebounds you that don't belong. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:18.880 And we talking about and then we go to Carmelo 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.280 future Hall of Famer, How is he not in the 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.360 league playing on none of these teams because he's a 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.760 dog and he's always did things his way and not 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.000 their way. So it's clear to see what they're doing. 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.080 They trying to control, you know, the other people's narrative. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.679 But I guarantee you when all these people retire and 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.200 get a chance to tell you the story and what 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.960 they went through in their career, you're gonna see it 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:37.720 from a different side. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.320 So it ain't about basketball. It ain't about coming out mellow, 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.280 being able to score with these young guys. It ain't 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.080 about you know, cousins being able to post up and 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.760 still be you know, effective, or be able to give 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.840 give a team something. You don't think it comes downs 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.440 to skill at the end of the day. 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.680 They definitely gonna come down to skill, because I's what 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.880 Embiid is doing right now. The Marcus Cousins is doing 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.280 that in Sacramento, putting up fifties in twenties. He been 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.880 doing that right. So so it's definitely not scared. I 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.440 definitely think it's personal. It's crazy, man, Man, are you watching? 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.840 I gotta get this off, man. You know, I watched 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.239 the games like I really sit there and I watch it. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.160 You know when players watch, man, I'm watching the Nuances. 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.360 Last night, man, I was watching the Lakers play Minnesota, 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.920 and I watched Minnesota be without you know, Rudy. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.160 Gobert, the kid mc daniel. You know what I'm saying, 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.720 The kid, you know, hit the wall, broke his hand. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.320 I think Rudy fired on Kyle. You know what I'm saying. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.720 I'm saying all this to set up that Minnesota was 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.320 a to me, full throttle with their team, right. But 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.360 this was the first time I think second half I 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:45.480 saw Bron human. He looked tired. Are you seeing the 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.080 same thing? Do you think Lebron James is coming to 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.360 the point where, I mean, we've always seen him in 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.400 a jetic stat We've always seen him in this youthfulness. Bro. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.000 Last night he deferred. I counted. You know, I'm scouting too, Bro, 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.600 watching the game, I'm programmed to think like this. But 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.600 as I'm watching the game, Bro, he looks like he 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.320 was gassed the first time. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.040 I think he at the age now where you know 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.560 we used to put scylind reports in for Braun. You know, 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.040 when we was playing that ship, he was just good 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.119 enough and that stronger energy thatyway, it didn't work. 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:14.520 I think now he's at. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.560 The age we did slowed down scottlond reports starting to 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.480 work on him, sending them certain ways and put them 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.799 in certain positions. He don't have the energy or the 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.040 advantage to do it the whole game, you know what 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:24.440 I'm saying. He might can do it the first quarter 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.960 or something like that. But back when we was playing, 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.680 he can do it and he outthink the double teams 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.239 and all the shit and still be able to be effective. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.360 But now I don't think he's at the age we 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.120 can still have the energy to force Sselff to get 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.160 through all. That's a true assessment. He looked gassed, or 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.760 he looks like he's slowing down to you, you dead on, 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.080 he looked a little gas straight up like whatever. He 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.080 wasn't even I think he hit one three in the 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.000 sequence of like seven minutes. The turnovers though he had 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.720 three turnovers that brought them back. Man, they got back 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.720 in the game, like and what that say? We know that. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.920 I'm just it just seems like I don't want to. 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.240 I don't want to. I don't want to harp on 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.400 this too much. But it was a disconnector that I 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.920 that I caught. It wasn't a desire. It wasn't it 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.440 wasn't a go get the ball. You know, LA used 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.400 to cold going to get the ball, playing hero. You 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.080 know what I'm saying. I hate to say that, but 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.520 I'm calling the spade a spade. That's the shadow he 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.360 end and he he didn't go yet it he didn't 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.320 have that job. You know what I'm saying. I don't 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.360 know if it's to play in. I don't know. I'm 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:16.680 just you know, I wanted to throw it at you 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.440 to see if you were seeing the same game. 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.400 He looked at little gas Bro and we know when 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.039 I when I play out, when you played, when I 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.240 made three turnovers in the row, it definitely came from 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.040 being tied. Fatigue, you know what I'm saying. Mentally, fatigue exactly. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.640 So what shit as you're looking forward to? Uh, we 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.320 were just rapping about the sacond Golden State. I want 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.960 that's that's Uh, both teams at home. Uh, you got 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.480 a young team with the head coach now who's been 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.240 in Golden State the last couple of years, and one 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.279 rings there. He think he got the cheat code. He 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.279 think he got the cheat code. But the thing is, 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.599 though this was kind of messing with me. Mike Browno 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.760 is a defensive coach. The Sacramento's not good defense, So 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.719 I don't know how I don't know how the dynamic 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.400 gonna work. I think he just took the offensive there 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.440 and that's why they've been successful. But young team, all 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.839 the team with experience is I think that's the series 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:06.200 to watch. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:11.240 Sack's confident, very Sack. I think Sack thinking like we 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.680 third like I think they thinking like that, like saying, 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.160 y'all did that last year? What's up? Like they are? 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.640 I smart? God, they're looking at when I watched them 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.760 play Bro, you have to be a better team. I 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.919 watched them play Milwaukee one time in Sack, and Milwaukee 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:30.000 had to be the better team as how they how 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.919 they flowed, they had the execute they had. They had 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.120 the run offense to be able to beat a young team. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.320 You gotta be a solid team to beat a solid 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.800 young team, right, And that's what I think Golden State is. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.080 Golden State I think has been has been food gazinging. 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.760 I think they've been they've been lollygagging. They've been they've 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.680 been pacing it for you're not wanting full times. You 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.760 got the form on how to win it. And I 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.839 feel like now everything's finna get slowed down by ten 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.800 to fifteen twenty possessions and now we're really find the 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.760 lock in. I love the kid, the Aarian Fox and 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.159 high years in the fourth quarter. I want to see 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.039 him in the playoffs under this pressure. Man, that's sad. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.840 Crowd gonna be crazy. It's the ones turn up canny 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.640 and then Golden State gonna be in the house. Man, 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.360 it's gonna be gotta you played in this environment. Man, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.919 tell us what the Bay Yeah, everybody talk about the 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.160 New York miss and the Yankee Subway.

It's 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.159 no away game, so each game is a home everybody 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.200 coming up the road. Then with shat go down, everybody 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.039 gonna be down there, bro. But they've been dying for 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.320 this for a long time. That area, the Bay Area 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.760 been dying for this rivalry, for this, for this to 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.440 for them to play in the playoffs eventually, you know, 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.120 second being in the playoffs and forever. But it's gonna be. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:40.400 It's gonna be a good robbery. You know. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.880 It adds on to it that Mike Brown and Steven 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.159 you know, coaches, Like it's just the whole dynamic of it. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.599 You know, Matt Matt working up for Sacramento calling the 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.400 games he played on both teams, Like, it's a lot, 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.279 it's a lot going on. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.240 I'm excited.

And Bonus and Draymond. 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.280 Can Draymond keep his focus because Sabon's gonna get it shot, 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.080 you know what, They gonna get his shots. Draymond might 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.600 get some tough calls. They need Draymond on the court. 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.680 You put Draymond or you put Mooey on it.

I think they 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.600 work raders right there, stack. I like the way both 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.920 of them work. Obviously some Bonus is a better passer, 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:08.240 you know, consolidator. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.640 But yeah, this is yeah, bro, who. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.280 What about you though?

They gonna need that. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.360 Don't need that, especially coming off the bench with and 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.560 I I got Pool. On the other end, I think 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.600 the Pool can have some big games series that we'll 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.200 be close. He gets some thirty thirty games and Step 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.240 get a thirty point game. They got a good chance 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.719 of walking the series. You know what I'm probably. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.880 When I lose. I gotta say this was my favorite. 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:16.080 My man, the dopest series I'm looking to is the 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.439 Cleveland New York Knicks Silent sold Listen the narrative that 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.280 Donald Mitchell almost ended up as a nick. Do you 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.240 see how he's transferred like Cleveland was already on another 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.760 path of creating this crazy shout to JB too, Man, 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.040 JB don't get enough notoriety. He's had these kids, he 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.120 had these young men. Excuse me, my bad. He had 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.120 these young men playing like like on another level before 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.040 he even got there. I love the kid Garland, I 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.640 love Young Mobley, I love I didn't like Kevin Love leaving. 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:51.559 I thought kay Love fit perfectly in that. Man. I 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.959 thought he fit perfectly in there, man, and man, that 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.080 hurt me when he left there. But a getting donaldval Mitchell. Man. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.240 I watched him in Utah when he was doing for 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.560 Utah and he was going unspoken. Nobody was saying, Man, 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.240 Donald Mitchell was doing some incredible shitt in Utah, and 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.160 then we're under the radar and what he's doing in 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.720 fucking Cleveland. Man, It's not surprising because I've seen him 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.880 hit big shots. I've seen him carrying the team. I 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.439 seen him go you know, seven minutes, four minutes in 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.640 a row where he's just going crazy. Right, So man, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.640 listen and he ain't even know MVP talks, which is weird. 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.079 But this is gonna be a crazy series because to me, 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.720 New York's like New York's strength is that they play 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.920 hard in their hick coming at your ass for forty 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.880 eight minutes. Brunton is better than what we giving him credit. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.400 We don't put him on those levels. But I think 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.719 he's proven night in night out, at least through the 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.240 regular season, even when he was in Dallas, Like, he's 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.360 been consistent to be that player that he is. And 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.320 you know with the emergent, obviously you got Randall, he's 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.079 not had some time to rest that ankle. Man, you 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.880 got quickly come into his own quickly might be six man, 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.200 I got Malcolm Brocklin, but quickly is one of them 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.240 deals to where he can come men and change the series. Man, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.439 I'm looking forward to this Nick Cash here, that's that's 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.280 gonna be watched TV. That's gonna be popcorn TV. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.560 So who yo, who Your's gonna make an impact? 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.440 Man? You know, like like I said, quickly. I'm watching 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.960 quickly get thirty in the Army can and uh Obi 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.480 toppling man. Obie Toplin got another level to him that 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.880 I think he just flirting with you know, you know, 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.800 I know it's a lot of pieces over there are 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.840 j Barren gonna be big for this series. We really 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.840 heard his name and a lot of stuff. Man, Kim 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.800 Mobley gonna have to come out of the ship. You 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.559 know what I'm saying. He's random, he got the random matchup. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.559 He's got to either balance that match up or come out. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.040 He can't come like on his heels, man, he cannot 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.920 be on his heels this whole, this whole tournament, man, 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.000 I mean this whole, this whole series. He's gonna have 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.040 to come out and they're gonna have to play. I'm 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.040 looking for Garland to have a have a breakout. I 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.960 think Garland is one of these guys where you start 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.440 looking at Donovan Mitchell and giving him so much attention 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.880 that Garland Garland can give you a fifty ball, he 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.360 can give you a forty ball. You know what I'm saying, Man, Man, 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.079 this is gonna be it right here. You know, I 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.400 love I love all the all the matchups and and 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.640 and and probably the most anticipated playoffs with so many 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:08.000 different narratives. But this, this popcorn TV right here between 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.720 the Knicks and the Cabs gonna be good. Straight up. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.880 You see the matchup man with the other grizzlies in 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.520 the Lakers. You know, I just. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.679 I want to I want to say the Lakers man 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:26.160 so bad. But just the inconsistency of a d you know, uh, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.120 I say, like I said, we talked about Braun. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:29.199 He just looked gassed. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.520 And I think, you know, just god reports that people 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.079 put in on them and start to affect him, you know, 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.640 at his age. I just don't see them having enough 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.240 energy and having enough dogs to deal with grind City 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.720 Memphis is just they're just a different team. They cocky, 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.480 they confident, you know what I'm saying. They and they 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.160 heard all the talk. Everybody been saying, yeah, y'all, he't 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.640 done that yet. Yea ain't done nothing yet. Well, this 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.920 is a big step knocking the Lakers out first round. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.840 This is a big step for them. When I guarantee 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.679 you they gonna be focusing ready. But I don't see 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.480 the Lakers having enough energy to beat the you know, 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.959 in this series, right now really, Yeah, no, I don't. 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.640 Like I like Memphis in this series too. But you know, 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.800 I've been that, I've been that older player that's been 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.400 motivated off of the naysayers and they can't do and 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.640 we're older and all this other shit. Ad has taken 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.520 another step in these last like fifteen to twenty games, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.080 too crazy. I actually think that they should go through 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.640 him more. I actually think that the office should go 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.040 through him. His should initiate they trapping down, move moo move, Bron, 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:31.960 get you some spot up, get you some spot up, 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.920 twos and threes, get you some cuts going to the basket, 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.959 some easy ones, stuff like this. But I think that 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:43.199 they're a program to do. And just like, like, you know, 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.880 I had to remind myself that I was watching a 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.640 seven and eighth seed playing each other. It looked like it. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.400 It looked like seven and eight. Nobody looked polished or 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.320 nobody looked like, ooh, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.439 I say that to say that if it was a 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.199 team that could because Bron come with so much star 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.920 power and he does have so much experience that we 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.800 think that, you know, at least one of these games 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.840 he gonna go into booth, right, you don't come out 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.240 with nothing, right, I'm expecting that right. 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:11.440 Right. 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.720 So if it's one team that can beat I think 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.079 give you at least a scare. Is this team just 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:18.840 because of their star power and if they can get 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.560 it going because they still got a young enough superstar 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.080 and Anthony Davis, they can carry you and get forty 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.440 and twenty and be that minute to where he getting 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:31.720 five blocks. The Jared Jackson Jr. And Anthony Davis matchup 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.240 is the key matchup to me. Steven Adams back, No, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.720 he's out for the series. Now that's big. See That's 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.280 what I'm saying. See, that's big. And then two, what 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.600 we're not talking about is that new Lakers. The new Lakers, 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:47.000 the Vanderbilts, the Bezels, the Beasley excuse me, Denzel Russell's 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.320 you know what I'm saying. In Russell, he's confident around 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:55.080 this time, you know, got a lot of confidence in himself. Yeah. Man, 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.120 the Lakers are scary, but I don't know if they 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.840 can put it together. But I like their pieces. Beasley 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.880 and Vanderbilt alone make them tougher. Scrappier gets some extra 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.200 second third options and then being able to read. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.600 and then you know Memphis got those boys over there. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.200 You know, Tyus Jones is probably the backup of the year. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.440 Like he's I don't know why we don't talk about 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.720 with him six man, he's probably one he can start 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.920 on some teams, you know what I'm saying. But yeah, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.640 it's gonna be a fun match up to watch. I 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.800 think Memphis actually takes it though. I mean, and what 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.600 in six So Desmond Bain has to wear a special 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:34.480 shoe for his toe and they are Lebrons and it's 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.200 kind of yeah, I want to get your views on 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.920 the unspoken rule. And you know, obviously our generation are 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.560 totally different, you know generation, but we're speaking on today 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.320 in the current what's your views on you know, he 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.240 got to get a I guess it wasn't no other 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.400 shoes in the world that can do this special shit. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.720 That's the thing. I'm pretty sure if he can do 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.840 it in that shoe, he can do it in other shoes. 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.360 So you know what these are Lebrons. Do you have 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.240 an issue with your teammate wearing the opposition and who 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.320 were getting ready to go into playoff battle with or 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.360 against wearing their shoes? I do, Bro, I do? I do. 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.200 I have a big problem with it because that's just 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.600 some mental shit with me. Like you know what I'm saying, Like. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:15.440 I have friends. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.200 That I hung out with, like Al Harington all summer, 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.760 but during the season, when we get ready to play them, 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:23.680 we ain't talking. The day before the game, when he 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.560 getting town, we probably you know what's up, Bron in timer, 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:27.520 we ain't hanging together. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:27.760 Nothing. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.920 We'll hang the night after the game, but before the 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.160 game were not talking or nothing. Even in the Big Three. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.840 I was about to go to blows but. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.880 Soon as the game but as soon as the game over, 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:37.520 I'm with him. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.640 So I'm saying that to say, no, Bro, I'm not 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:47.200 having nothing on the of the opposing team, nothing related 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:48.600 to them having talked to them. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.520 No, I want them to know that there's beef. It's up, 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.040 all the way up. So wearing the shoes is the 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.680 wrong thing to do because you sending the message whether 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.360 you whether you know it or not. Bron walk out 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.080 there and see you with his shoes on. In his mind, 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.600 I got it. He's a fan. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.639 Right, And I ain't have my own shoe And I 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.680 had fans on other teams and I knew once I 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.560 saw him shaking my hand up, browing's up. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:13.920 What you're doing out? Yeah I got I got a 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.200 good easy ten points on him because he more worried 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.640 about hanging out with meet and guard me wear shoes 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.000 and Bron gonna give you one hundred points, trust me, 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.280 don't do it. That's how I feel. That's the psychic color. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.480 That's how I feel it, Bro, I mean, that's the 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.800 psychic color. You know what's crazy? Man? I'll probably during 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.560 the rest folks, let me go ahead and start so one. 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.960 I would never be in like another man's space, you 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.720 know what I'm saying, Like if Jack come in and 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.080 how he gotta prepare his music and being wild like 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.960 I played with some wild wild cats, right, And what 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.639 I had to learn is that everybody prepares differently, and 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.040 we we're gonna wear whatever, right. Uh, some guys will 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.080 wear their jewelry and have it out and be doing. 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.200 I gotta worry about Kevin first, right. Yeah. It's when 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.359 it's now we're getting the playoffs everything to play, we 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.439
