SPEAKER_00 0:20

Who played tomorrow?

SPEAKER_01 0:21

I don't even know what I ain't looking at. I'm just getting up while we're here. I think this might be a determination type situation tonight, though. Guys, you know, this eight and nine. Yeah, this eight and nine, yeah. I could tell you where you got so far. It's tomorrow. I didn't know it'll start tomorrow. Oh, yeah, 1 o'clock is gonna be Raptors and Cleveland. It's gonna be Denver and the Timberwolves. It's gonna be Knicks and the Hawks, and it's gonna be Rockets and Lakers. That's a good Saturday. That's a good Saturday, bro. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk uh a little bit about these last couple games, and then we're gonna talk and get our predictions and everything for tomorrow. And we're gonna do some predictions for Sunday, too. I'm gonna drop this early in the morning. Um did you see any of the game versus Orlando in Philly the other night? I did not see that game the other night. I got uh I came home. Yeah, I came home from my other job, and then I was waiting for the Phoenix to come on. Um, I mean, Philly looks fast, you know what I'm saying? It's about it I can say they look good. They're playing like it's a team. So Maxie had a 30-plus game, you know what I'm saying? Um I love young ball. You like VJ? I like him. I like I like like his intangibles, you know what I'm saying? He got some some work to do on his actual gameplay, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, he did. And uh, but part-wise, he got it. I can say that. Yeah, he needs to learn how to shoot. I think he'd be alright once he learns consistently. Because I mean, in the beginning of the year, you thought, oh, he's gonna be a shooter, and then the truth came out, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 2:01

The truth came out, yeah. No, he is hit, he just hit that wall, that's all. It'd be like this sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

But I mean, overall, a good rookie season for him. Yeah, good rookie. It should be third in the votes, though, behind the nipple and uh and um Cooper and Coop. Yeah. I don't see, I don't know who the other third person would be, I don't know who the third person would be. Uh Cooper got in the Coop got it in the bag? Yeah, Coop got it in the bag. Yeah, like a 50 ball twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once you do something like that, it's like uh, what can you say? Now I seen him having the rookie, a rookie of the year type season, but 50 balls, I didn't see those in the forecast. Yeah, I didn't see that either though. But you know, what's the name scored uh 40, like I think like four or five times when he was a rookie? AI. So, you know, once they do something like that, it's a little kind of a rap. Yeah, if he did, yeah, because AI, I think he had like four games of 40 points. AI did back in the day. Yeah, yeah. He had that in the bag. I think he gave Mike 30 that night. Infamous night when he crossed him over all crazy. Yeah. That was the rookie year? Mm-hmm. 96, yeah. That's the year Mike came back. Yeah, it wasn't the year he came back. Well, that's the no, not the year he came back, the year before he came back. The second three-peat. Second three-peat. He was 23 again. Yeah, yeah. Damn, man. Um Steph Curry, they did their thing. Um Yeah, they did, they did, they did their thing. There's like some vintage Draymond Green and Steph Curry ball out there. Yeah, that's because the Clippers really ain't the Clippers ain't really what everybody thought they was. Everybody, everybody liked Kawhi, but I like, I mean, he ain't really, he he older than he ain't really what people think he is. He he'll have he'll surely like I'm the best player for you know a game or two, but other than that. Yeah, but some bunches, but you know what I'm saying. You can't count them with disrespect to him, but you know, and first of all, and first of all, all these players, they know they got they got hot but basketball IQs. There's no way that you want Draymond one on, you want to take Draymond one-on-one. That's not gonna happen. Oh, Draymond was on him. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He tried to take, I don't understand that. Why want now not why not call for the screen? Yeah, let you know how that goes. You know Kawhi and the, you know what I'm saying? But you ain't got it like you ain't got it like that to to uh to not you gotta call the screen for Draymond on you. I think he still thinks so though. He has some flashes this year. Yeah, but you ain't that, you ain't that no more though. Nah. So how you feel about the LaMelo situation? Lamello balled out on OT. Um, the follow on uh Ben. Yeah, Ben. I don't know. Shit happens, it's basketball. Yeah, I don't I ain't really, I mean, we've seen way worse. I mean, I'm not saying he was way worse, but we've we definitely seen niggas do. I was just saying way worse. I didn't see Draymond kick everything in the list twice. We didn't see Zaza pull fast one when he Kawhi joined.

SPEAKER_00 5:03

That wasn't even, you know what's crazy? That Zaza one wasn't even uh it's not a dirty play.

SPEAKER_01 5:07

It's just like yo, like I'm trying to really contest the shot. Yeah, like it still happened now, and you see how they call the favorite files on there now. Like I never thought that was a dirty play. I just think that that was just an accident. I never thought of it as a dirty play. Sometimes Dante Jones was an accident. You know why it's because he said he wanted to do that. Yeah, so like you know, which is crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, he's dirty. Yeah, that's definitely crazy. Oh man, but as we talking right now, uh Charlotte Hornets in Orlando playing right now, 37 to 68. Orlando's up at halftime. I ain't see it happening this way. I thought Charlotte would beat them though. Yeah. Because Orlando ain't really been showing up like we would expect them to, especially after last season, what they did. Yeah, but you know what it is though? It's a different mindset now. It's like, yo, I'm trying to make the playoffs. So it's like, you know what I'm saying? It's different, you know what I'm saying? And Charlotte ain't never really been there before. Like they've been playing good for the last back of the season, but you know, playoffs is different, it's intensely different. You get different calls and different whistles and stuff like that. So they're not used to that. Yeah, they ain't used to that yet. The thing about it to me is I think they match up well, like, you know what I'm saying? No, they do. Yeah, but Orlando, remember, Orlando took Cleveland to seven games last year in the first round. They did. That was an absolute series. So they've been there before. They know, they know what it is. They probably they even though they lost, but they got a little bit of experience, like, you know what I'm saying? We're gonna be about the ball up, we're about to turn out. Um, did any of these performances in the last couple days like stick out to you the most? Or, you know, just some of them would do what you expected.

SPEAKER_00 6:52

No, not really.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

I don't I don't expect nothing from Steph Kerr. I don't expect nothing from him. Even if Kawhi would have done the same thing, I don't it don't move me. I don't really, you know what I'm saying? I mean, we've seen the best of both of those guys, no disrespect to him. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like it should be a given. Yeah. Like if if LeBron got there and scored and have a triple-double on tomorrow, it's not gonna surprise me. Or if KD got there, if KD go out there and get 40-40, 40, that's not gonna be a good thing. That's what he that's what he does. Yeah, like that's what they both do. Like, that's not going, that's not going, you know. KD is a professional scorer. Yeah, and you know, yeah, LeBron's the best all-around player of all time. So, like, you know, you know, and one of those things. It's crazy when you say here, bro. We didn't watch these dudes' whole career, you know what I'm saying, for the last 20 plus years. You know, I mean, KD, even KD, where he played in college, 07. Yeah, yeah. KD, yeah, 07. So yeah. Well, yeah, that that year. So yeah, but he he bought the KD going on his what, 18th, 19th? I think it was 18.

SPEAKER_02 7:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

He went four years before. Brian, you know what's crazy? I got a bunch of that's what's crazy. I got a bunch of KDs in my class, and I'm looking to give them all the way to the kids. I gotta find some kids to give them to them. I got about like 16 pairs. I don't wear no KDs no more. I got I gotta find some kids to give them to them. Yeah, I gotta find out and give it to them soon. Got the Aunt Pearls crazy. Yeah, I got the pink ones, and I'm with them in a bet. I'm with them, I want somebody, my OG worked me for Dom Jones, because he was uh he was a Cleveland fan at the time when LeBron was there. And I was you know, KD, you know, KD's my guy. And they end up playing in the 2007, two um 2017 finals, and they ended up winning that series. Yeah, and he ended up buying them for me. It was a easy, it was an easy bet, though. He said, he thought they was gonna win. I said, no, they ain't gonna walk LeBron ain't gonna get them this time. You see the first game when um they had that lapse at the end with J.R. Smith, and then it was over after that. This was though, this was the first final game. This one, yeah, this one, this one AD averaged 35 and yeah, oh yeah, the year when Tyree was still there, which was Tyree. I don't even remember that. Kevin Love. And then Tyree and Kevin Love. Yeah, it was a blur. It was a blur. Yeah, KD was on one that uh, yeah. Yeah, that's the best KD I ever. No, that and the Brooklyn one. That's my favorite KD. And I love OKC KD. Brooklyn? Not even a toe shot, just a season, period. Yeah, that series was crazy too, bro. Yeah, because he was really carrying them by himself. You know, that's the thing people be saying, oh KD can't carry no team. He literally was carrying them on their back by himself. Oh, because his toe was on the foot. He ain't really, you know what I'm saying? He ain't really take no rest that John. And Joe Harris was killing us, he couldn't hit no threes. I remember that vividly, bro. No threes. He couldn't hit no threes. Crazy work, bro. Crazy work. Shout out to KD on that one, though. But um talking about some of these matchups, matter of fact, because we got some games coming on tomorrow. Uh, I know the Warriors play next tonight um after this game. My app go that fast. My bad. Like I said, I love Prime. I love Prime. I don't think I would like these guys together. I love Blake Griffin and Dirk and your dying. I like them too. It's crazy. Like they are like they just mess. They mess together.

SPEAKER_00 10:24

I like anybody that play anybody that played basketball.

SPEAKER_01 10:28

I like I like them talking to the well, the younger generation, not the not the newer sh not the newer people. I mean, not the younger generation, not the older people. I don't really care for Chuck. I don't really care for Chuck. I don't really care for Shaq. I don't really care for Kenny. I don't really care for none of them. Oh, I care. Like, I don't look to them put some time now since I actually look for them for the knowledge part of it, because they they way past that. They just they just make niggas laugh. But when it comes to like analyzing the game and stuff like that, even like with T Mac and Vince and Melo. Like this is different this year. Like the NBA turned up as far as like the analyst and uh analytics and stuff like that. The Reggie Millers and stuff like that. Like, I don't want to hear that nigga no more, bro. I no, I like to hear all of them beside I'd like to hear everybody except for those people I just named. I think Reggie though. You don't like Reggie? I love Reggie. Reggie be killing Reggie. Who was yeah, I mean, there's a couple dudes that was on that network that was terrible. Like, I love C Web as a player, but he was the worst unit. Bro, he's C Web, though he was fumbling on his words sometimes. I felt like but that happened, that happened though. Like, they we gotta think about this live too. It happened, it's gonna happen. Like, like I do get it. But it's like he didn't grow. Like, first year, it's like, all right, this is the first year be cutting some slate, and then after that, it's just like so. Eventually he was he he I think he knew he got he was cool off it. Like even Jalen Rose. I like Jalen Rose sometimes. He do his thing sometimes. Like Joe, yeah, I like Jalen. Um it said Orlando, the best one was Jeff and Gundy and Mark. Martin, bro, hands down. Best one, hands down. Yo, Mark, Mark Jackson and the best line. Yeah, nobody did. He said, I'll knock her out the park. I was doing it. But he was never talking about Savannah, though. That's the craziest. Right, right. That's crazy, yo. That's crazy. That's insane. But that's how crazy it was such a metaphoric line that you know what I'm saying. It just went over so many people's heads, they was thinking the wrong thing. Like, Mark Jackson is a good dude. I can't see him like playing blatantly disrespecting Brian White ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy, yo. Sounds good, but come on, Dell. That's crazy. Yeah, we got, I think Orlando's gonna take this. They have they have 31. I can't see the Hornets coming back. What how many? I mean, what's the fourth? Was it the fourth quarter or third quarter now? It's uh halftime right now. That's um, I mean, anything is 31. Yeah, 31 is not, I mean, it's bad, but I don't see people come back. Yeah, I didn't see what shall we see. Only reason I'm really I'm really it's more about the Hornets than the actual magic, though. Right, right, right. They just playing, yeah. Um Warriors and the Suns, they playing for that A C. Um you like? No, he really pissed me off. They pushed me off the other night. Because they was up, Phoenix was up at 11 in the fourth quarter, but this is what I be saying. Like, I wish they would have treated for like Zion Williams or somebody.

SPEAKER_02 13:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:33

Because we'd have been cool, we would have been cool, like, you know what I'm saying? They can get a ball to him, he can get an easier bucket, like, you know, Jalen Green, Devon Booker, they're gonna shoot a lot of mid-ranges and jump shots, and they can't throw it to nobody down low to give him some points. You feel what I'm saying? I'm looking at these records, right? Well, first off, the Warriors is up on the spread to plus 2.5 tonight. Um Yeah, it is. But they play in the Phoenix, right? They play in the Phoenix. I think they play in the Phoenix, yeah. Yeah, they play in the Phoenix. They play in the Phoenix, yeah. Bro, the Warriors are 37 and 45. The Suns are 45 and 37. Yeah, but you know, back in the day, back in the day, you know, like if you got the seventh spot, you got the seventh spot. You you're good. You don't gotta play, no play in. Now, now back now today, it's like you gotta play for that seven and eighth spot. So that's it. The Warriors just shouldn't even, bro, at 37 wins, that's insane to even have a chance to go to the offs. The two two players, yeah. That doesn't mean that the West must be top heavy because damn. But yeah, it is top heavy, but I mean, it don't really matter anyway.

SPEAKER_00 14:35

They want Chief of Oklahoma City anyway, so it don't even matter. You already got it only matter who they play, it don't matter who they would have played, it don't matter what Low C they would have played. It don't matter what Low C they play, it don't matter where they're gonna play in the second round. They're gonna give them all no foul calls and all that extra stuff. You know what I'm wondering? You know what I'm wanted to tell you too you watch you you watched the Olympics a couple years ago? Was it last was last year, a couple years ago?

SPEAKER_01 15:02

Brian Curry and Katie and all them. So was Shea the best player was Shay the best player when they was in the Olympics? He wasn't even talked about, right? No, he wasn't. He wasn't that that was the year before that was the summer before they won. Yeah, you want to know why?

SPEAKER_00 15:19

But he was in the MVP discussion, he was still like one of the top players. But you want to know why you want to know why though? Don't call fouls. It's physical and it's physical over there.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

This shit that we play in here is soft. All this right here that we playing in right now, soft. So he get away with the all the foul being on it, like they always play in the Olympics. It's hard over there in general. Yeah, when they was playing the Olympics, they was playing Olympics, like you heard about all the good players. Like not saying shit you could heard about you heard about Luca, you heard about Jogrich and the stars on USA, but you ain't really hear nothing from him. And in Canada, it was loaded because they don't give you them touchy calls. He was loaded. Not saying he don't ball, but he don't honestly, bro. They was definitely loaded. They had him, they had um RJ Barrett, they had Jamar Murray, they had Dylan Brooks. Dylan Brooks, they had um they was loaded over there. And he was the best player. I thought they had a good chance. But he ain't show, you ain't sure you know why he show up? You ain't getting a whistle, bruh. You ain't got that whistle. You ain't got nothing. Stand by it, I get it.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Bro, you get how you get 30, how you get 30 freaks, how you go to the line 25 times.

SPEAKER_01 16:28

Yeah, more than once in the season was crazy. Yeah, why yeah, why would I get my hopes up to watch them shit? Like, watch why I'll get my hopes up to watch them play. Be honest, I ain't even watching them. I skip their games. I don't know. No hate, but I don't watch it.

SPEAKER_00 16:41

Yeah, that's not no hate, but it's just it's not no hate.

SPEAKER_01 16:44

Like, people be like, You're not the only one saying it though.

SPEAKER_00 16:46

Yeah, it's no hate. It's not about me hating, it's about just being real life. I've been watching basketball half of my life. I'm just bringing you what I see.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

If you go, you was over in fever where it really gets really real over there, you ain't hear nothing, you ain't hearing. But you come over here because they want they want the game to be spread out, they want that shit to be wide open, they call a lot of fouls. I'm like, I ain't I don't got time to watch that. I see my man get beat up every day, get double teamed crazy every day.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

Damn near every other night. Every other night, don't get no call. First of all, how how you a five-time all-star and you get one free throw? That never happened to KD when I was coming up. When I was coming up watching KD, KD used to go to the line at least about nine, ten times. Her and least goes to the line. All of them, I'm like, yo, how you that stabbed have a player and you don't get file calls. But you call foul, but the nickname is a few. I said this every time on your podcast. I said this every time on your podcast. Lou Dordan out there playing like Lou Keekly every game. Come on, bro. He out there like Lou Keekly every game. Ain't nothing changed, bro.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

It's outrageous to me. That's why I'm watching him though. I'm gonna stand by you got um Phoenix winning the next day, or they should win, but I should win, but I went, you know, I'm gonna tell you my honest guy.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

I don't even I don't even care if they do win. I'm like, what I'm gonna watch it for. I'm not gonna watch them to the play it up. I had a better chance, I had a better chance of them knocking off the Spurs.

SPEAKER_01 18:16

Yeah, yeah. Then I agree. It's hard to uh it's hard to watch that. I do not want to watch that. I'm just I don't want to watch that. I don't want to watch nobody go to the line 25 times and have them don't find it, especially in the offs, because that's when it's supposed to slow down. Like as far as the foul calling, you still getting those calls in the offs, it's kind of like, all right. And we've seen Brian in the playoffs a lot of times, but this is over outrageous. I ain't never seen nothing like this, so I got NBA getting that lunch. NBA gotta do something. NBA gotta do something. They gotta fix something, they gotta do something. Yeah. See what we got going on tomorrow. We got uh East first round starting tomorrow, playoff round one. Raptors versus Cavs at 1 p.m. Alright, um backcourt right there, that backcourt right there.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

That backcourt right there. I love that backcourt, man.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

That backcourtcourt, yes. That's a nasty backcourt. Adidas boys. Huh? Adidas boys. Oh yo, like if Harry would have gone there a little earlier, it would be sure fire. I would definitely check it. Next year, they gonna be crazy. They're gonna be crazy. But they're gonna beat Toronto though. They're gonna beat Toronto though. 4-2? They're gonna beat on 4-2. Yeah, they're gonna beat them 4-2. I like 4-2. I'm gonna roll with you on 4-2. They're gonna beat on 4-2. Yeah. Um, they definitely tomorrow is in Cleveland, I assume. So it's definitely a home game for them. Yeah, it's a home game. They probably gonna blow Toronto out there game, too. They should. They really should. They should, yeah. Anything less than a blowout is bad. They gotta start with it.

SPEAKER_00 20:08

I wouldn't say is it bad because you know what?

SPEAKER_01 20:10

Toronto actually played, Toronto actually played like good basketball. I had watched it a few times against Finney. They played hard. So I'm gonna say like blowouts, but you don't want no easy, you don't want no easy first-round matchup, though. I never want an easy first-round matchup. Yeah, because then you'd be all lax going into the next draw. Because that next round is the next round. Yeah, no. So I'm glad. That's why I said 4 2. Yeah, I say that too many times, too. That's why I said 4-2. Uh Cleveland minus uh 0.8. Oh, I'm sorry. The Raptors is plus uh 8.5. Oh, yeah, they got it. Yeah. So what's the uh clear they got Clean, yeah. Cleveland gonna they gonna they gonna uh get them points and all that. Moneyline plus 280. I might put a ticket in, man. Don't quote me on that. But I don't know. I don't know how y'all, I don't know how y'all gamble. I work too hard for somebody to take my job, take my money. Don't pay me no money.

SPEAKER_00 21:00

Yeah, I work too hard for somebody take my money.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

I'm cool. I had a small little run in like 2021, 20. One of those, it was real short. I won and I stopped. I ain't been back on since. Yeah, I don't know how I don't know how to do it. I got two W's, I was out of there. Yeah, no, they didn't get my money. Nah, it's hard for me personally. Now, if you like a master at it, all right, because some people be somehow mastering it, they always winning, I get it. But outside of that, no, because you do if your link your losses is more than your wins, can't do it. Yeah, that that job be crazy. Well, who we got after that? Timberwolves and the Nuggets. Oh man, that's gonna be the best.

SPEAKER_00 21:40

That's gonna be the best series. That's gonna be the best series.

SPEAKER_01 21:42

They play like they don't like each other. They play like they don't like each other. They don't like each other. Can't wait. The Nuggets is the Nuggets is the uh H. So we in Denver tomorrow at 3 30. Oh, I got to see this three thirty. Yeah, that's gonna be a good one. That's the one you're gonna wanna tune into. I love Denver.

SPEAKER_00 22:02

That one and the Hawks and the Knicks, that's gonna be a good one too. They play at six.

SPEAKER_01 22:06

They're gonna scrap two, the Hawks and the Knicks. Who you like in the Timberwolves and the Nuggets series?

SPEAKER_00 22:14

I say that's a that's a coin flip.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

It can go either way. But if they say, you know, if they say how Joker is the best player, he should he should get it done. Yeah, I mean, the Nuggets have, I mean, the world, I mean, sorry, the Wolves have zero answer for him. At least like the Nuggets got guards that throw at Ant. But who do they really got over there to throw at the Jokers?

SPEAKER_00 22:40

Rudy Goldberg, you know, especially you know what, yeah, you know what?

SPEAKER_01 22:43

Did they actually you know why they be lining up good with Denver because of the because of like Rudy ain't gonna stop him, but he he he size though. That and then like, but nobody on Denver can guard Anglo. He does make them work though. Yeah, he can make him work a little bit, yeah. Who they gonna put on him though? Because um I don't know. Probably Bruce Brown, but that ain't gonna work out though. Nah, you're gonna get worked out. That's what you're gonna happen. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

All I'm waiting in for him to do is play in the post a little bit more.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

Once he like sides and everything. No, he yeah, because he do it sometimes, but like once he gets like consistent, like he gonna be like unguardable. Like he shoot a lot of threes. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he shoot a lot of threes. Yeah, he's out tomorrow, also.

SPEAKER_00 23:37

And out tomorrow?

SPEAKER_01 23:38

Yeah. Oh no. But we we ain't gonna talk about that one then. I thought he was playing. Say out. I'm looking at it now, say out. Um, the only thing I would say is uh, oh, he's a game time decision, but right now it'll say out, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 23:57

Oh he's gonna play. He's gonna play. No, he's gonna play. He's gonna play.

SPEAKER_01 24:00

I think Ant will.

SPEAKER_00 24:01

He's gonna play.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Oh, let me see. I think a key matchup is uh Julius Randle versus uh Aaron Gordon. That's gonna be that's gonna be a dog fight. Man, them two. That's gonna be a dog fight. Alright, two bullies. Even though I seen Wisling play in person and I didn't like the way he played Julius Randle when I went to New York, but that's gonna be that's gonna be a dog fight. I think whoever can come out on top with that that matchup can help their team. Like, you know what I'm saying? It can be a deciding factor, actually. Because those two, yeah, that's good. But I like um I like Denver and Six. Like Denver and Six? Yeah. And they old niggas, too. I'm not gonna lie, I like Minnesota 7. I like Minnesota 7. All right, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna make sure I know those. You know what's crazy? Because I used to, I used to be like, I didn't like Ant because I like Book. And I said, you know what, I gotta stop being like that. Because I love Donovan Mitchell, because those are the best three shooting guards to me. And I love Donovan, like, but I never liked the Ant because they always put him over a book. And I had to think about it like, yo, you know what? You can't watch basketball like that no more. So I don't watch basketball for like, oh, I don't like this probably person. So I kind of like everybody, and like, and I'd be like, you know what? No, an ant's a hell of a player.

SPEAKER_00 25:15

And I think like once he learned how to play, put his back to the basket, and he could, you know, he do it sometimes, but when he once he gets it consistent, like the playoffs when they slow down, and he can get back there, he can get it down in the post and get an easy turnaround jump shot or get to the hole, it's gonna be way better for him.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

It's gonna open up his whole game. That's what makes you unguardable. You see, all the greats had to add the post to the game and see what it did for him. Listen. Listen, I was screaming the other night. I'm like, yo, why they won't just give it to Book then? Because Book's 6'5. I'm like, yo, just give it to Book right down there. If he missed a turnaround jump shot, I'm cool with that. But then you got him doing pick and rolls, that that don't work that way. Like, you cannot pick and roll every time.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

They just you your defense is gonna stand there.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

Like the one that got lucky on what's the name was under the court. But outside of that, it's like they're not gonna keep falling for that. Yeah, they're not gonna keep falling. Not even it's not even gonna keep falling at the defense is already set anyway. Yeah, so once they once you call him for the screen, they are very gonna step up. It's like, yo, you know, four or five plays. You know what I'm saying? Just don't make sense. Like, run and play, do something. Like, I'll be tired of the pick and roll. Like, everybody run pick and roll. That should be cooking, cooking me. Like, I just it's not.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

Like, because all they're gonna do is just all they're gonna do is just load up. They're gonna send a blitz all right out. They're gonna blitz the dev, bliss the pick and roll for the red.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

Yeah. So you say the wolves, um, the wolves in seven, I got Denver. Yeah, because they be saying Jokic is the best player he ain't winning championships since what, 2022, 20, 2023? Yeah, 22, 23, one of those. Yeah. Yeah. It's been like three, three, three, like three to four years. Do you think the pressure on him? It's not no pressure. I don't think it's pressure on nobody. I think when you're at that high state level, I don't think there's no pressure. I just think that when they be talking about you so much and you and you're supposed to be this and you're supposed to be that. Like you ain't winning a long time.

SPEAKER_00 27:04

Yeah, you ain't you ain't winning a long time. So see.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

All right, so we got that. All right, we're gonna go Knicks and Hawks. You said it's gonna be a good game, a good series. That's gonna be a good, that's gonna be a good, that's going seven. That's going seven. Next going one and seven. I got the next and seven. Next gonna win and seven. Yeah. For some reason, I just feel like the Hawks is gonna make first of all, nobody expected the Hawks to even be where they was at. Like you know what I'm saying? Once they got rid of Trey and all that, you like, no man, but they kept balling. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know, because you know, I get to watch every team twice when they play Phoenix. You do. So I'm like, yo, I'm like, damn, I'm like, yo, the Hawks really, they really got six five, six, six from point guard on damn. Like they really like a tall team. Like they got six six months. He on some Ben Simmons with buckets. On on about two to about three to four years, he he gonna be he not gonna he gonna be top ten player like three to four years. Like he got potential like that. He's gonna be a top 10 player like 24 years. 22, 10, and 8. 49% shooting. He in about about three to four years, give him give him some more time to grow. He he's gonna be a top 10 player in like three to four years.

SPEAKER_02 28:17

I like the game.

SPEAKER_01 28:19

I like him. And I like uh Shea, I like I like Shea's cousin too, the other Alexander, his cousin. Oh yeah, yeah. But he you see how he played? Like, he like Shea nice, he's nice too, but he don't he don't need no fouls. He gets to a bucket. Straight, straight in. Yeah, he gets to a bucket. Of course, Brunson gonna get his because Brunson does the same thing a lot. Um I don't like Brunson. But I'm thinking it, but I don't like Brunson, though. I know you don't.

SPEAKER_00 28:48

I know I said I I I know how I said like I don't like, I try not to be, but I don't I just it's just like based off his game, argue.

SPEAKER_01 28:57

Yeah, they'd be try they be trying to say like he up there, and I don't think he's up there though. So you think he like a tier two? Yeah, he a tier two. Like he's a tier two, tier three. He just sees small. It's only there's only so much you can do. Like, you know, we've seen this before though. Y'all know Isaiah Thomas that played for Boston. Yeah, I remember those days. We seen this before. Like, I seen this before already. And you know the crazy part, Isaiah Thomas was second in MVP. He Jalen Brunson probably would never be second in the MVP in MVP vote. I think I think Brunson's just gonna do it longer. Yeah, he's just gonna do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause he a little, cause he's a little bit, you know, bigger than him. Like he's a little bit, you know what I'm saying? But I've seen that before, though. He's a little pit bull. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he fouled big too.

SPEAKER_00 29:44

I think that's probably what it is, too. That's probably what it is, too. He fouled bigger.

SPEAKER_01 29:47

No, that's why that's why I thought as soon as I said his name, I was like, yeah, yeah. He's another foul beater. His drawing just be like, oh, his drawing is like and I love I I like Brunson, but sometimes it'll be like small. Yeah, like you're looking for Eric Call. Like, I I like I I like Luca do that too, but I know Luca do that. That's cool. Like, I know that's you, that's what he really do. Like, but also sometimes he ain't gonna need a file. Like, he's not, you know what I'm saying? Like he gonna get you 50. You know, yeah, it's a little different with Luca. I don't know. And I ain't like I ain't like a Luca Crazy fan, but like I give him. Me either. Me, yeah, me either. I'm not a Luca Crazy fan, you know. I've never been a Luca Crazy fan. I think the only thing Shay got over him is the ring, to me personally.

SPEAKER_00 30:33

Oh, yeah, that's all he got is the ring in the MVP. That's the only thing.

SPEAKER_01 30:36

Um, yeah, like Luke, like, like for real, like for real, if we being honest, like, because we're talking about point guard, like Luca do everything as a point guard. Yeah. He's more of a point guard than Shay, too. Yeah, like Kay Cunningham, they do more as a point guard than what Shea do. How did this even happen how did Shay even become a point? I don't even know how it happened. Was he a point coming in? Because he was a combo guard in Kentucky. Yeah, combo, it was, yeah, and then he was then he played point a little bit with the Clippers. Yeah, and then they just gave him the keys of Oklahoma City. So yeah. But he's not like a he's not he's not like a point guard. Like he get like he I be saying the same thing, but I'm gonna keep preaching. Let me see him play with a different team, and then let me see what's let me see what's going on. Let me let me see you go down, let me see go down there and play in Detroit. Let me go you go play with the Toronto Raptors or let you go play with let then then then if you're doing the same thing, then I'm like, yeah, how you split your game. You're saying it's catered to his. Your team is loaded and you're about to go get the number four pick because the Clippers just lost. You're about to get the fourth pick in the draft. And this draft class is loaded, right? You about to get the fourth pick. Yeah, because the Clippers lost. So that that pick goes to Oklahoma City.

SPEAKER_00 31:58

That's not good for the league. But that's but you know who fault that is though?

SPEAKER_01 32:05

That's the Clippers' fault. I'm not never giving up. I'm not never giving up all them picks for Paul George. And I and I love PG. Never. At the time, I don't I'm not never giving up too many picks for PJ. Not doing that. Quite ridiculous. Yeah, that's crazy. And we said the Hawks going down in seven. Yeah, they're gonna go seven games. Last but not least for Saturday night, your boy KD and the Rockets versus the Lakers. Yeah, they're gonna beat Lin Six, too. They're gonna beat the Rockets winning in six. Yeah, they're gonna beat them. And I don't like the Rockets team. I don't like nothing about the Rockets team.

SPEAKER_00 32:49

They don't got no space in, they don't got no space in.

SPEAKER_01 32:52

I'm like if Luca, if Luca and Um and Austin Reed was playing, it would have gone different. I'd have like that probably go seven, too. But if they was playing, I would have went, I would have gone Lakers in six.

SPEAKER_00 33:05

Yes, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

But but the only thing I don't like nothing about the Rockets. I never I don't like nothing about the Rockets team.

SPEAKER_00 33:11

I don't like nothing about them. His IQ is just a donut.

SPEAKER_01 33:19

Like I'm just I don't know, yeah. It's crazy because he's so talented, man. But he do some hit. He do some bone in his stuff, yo.

SPEAKER_00 33:29

Do some bone in his stuff, man. Yeah, I guess gonna, yeah, Rockets gonna beat them in shit. Because they can't they could the last two games they played the Rockets, like they had a good game plan.

SPEAKER_01 33:39

Like they double KD at the top. When KD had the ball at the top, they just threw two doubles in him. Like, I never understand why I'm not never giving KD the ball at the top. You know, he can do what he can do, but if you know you're getting double, he got to get off the ball, put Jabari on the ball, put somebody else or put Reed Shepard on the ball. Put KD down on the block. I don't I don't get it though. Like basketball be so simple, but they make it so hard. Yeah, if you double team him off the block now, you can see the left corner, the right corner. You can see the type of key. He's seven foot. Somebody gonna be open. And even if the person that's on him was stronger and knock him off the his his off the block, he still can't shoot. He still can shoot. He still can't that's what I'm saying. So it's like, you know, I don't understand that. Yeah, I don't understand that. I don't know. I don't play, we don't we don't be in the locker room again. We we don't be in the locker room, we don't know what's going on, so I can't really say, you know what I would go. Yeah.

unknown 34:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:30

Yeah, this this game not getting no better so far. This is crazy. Oh, his old way for showing. Um yeah, I like um the Rockets in six, man. Ryan too old. Yeah, I said to even entertain it.

SPEAKER_00 34:43

No, you know what? They're not even too not even too old, they just injured.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

Yeah. I figure whoever they played in the first round, they beat whoever they played in the first round, but they're losing the second round, though. Because that's four and five, is it with the four and five, right? Yeah. Yeah, they're gonna play cheating ass OKC, and then you know how they go. We're gonna get all the blisters and all that. It's crazy, bro, because out if if Luca and AR was there, I would have loved to see the Lakers. I told you how I felt about the Lakers versus OKC. For some reason, they always give them a crazy matchup.

SPEAKER_00 35:12

No, they man, the last time they just played them, uh Oh yeah, no, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 35:16

You're right. That's the night that Wisney got hurt. You're right. Yeah, they was even when he was playing, they blew the door a little bit. They proved me wrong that night. You're right. They was cooking them. I looked at the TV, I couldn't walk in off the court, they down 30. I was like, what's going on? I just like I just don't like when the NBA just be so blatant with it, bro. Like, don't be like, if you're gonna cheat, cheat how you cheat back in the day when you like it's the fourth quarter, it's like, all right, you did some, you did some bullshit. We can't really, but y'all be cheating. Blatant, and y'all be cheating and blatant people facing everybody got camera phones and you can see it. Like, it's just like yo, yeah, I'm I'm cool, yo. I ain't gonna I can't deal with that. I'm trying to because it it's you're not you telling me that I'm not trying to shit on OKC, but it's like yo, y'all went seven games with Indiana. I'm trying to figure out how y'all doing it. Bro, I I didn't understand. I'm sorry. Not and I forced my I forced myself to watch that chip. God knows I ain't wanna watch it. But it's like I'm trying to figure it out. I'm not trying to sound like a hater, but I'm trying to figure it out. Because it's like, yo, no disre no, fuck that. Disrespect. J Dub, not like that. Chat, cool. He's gonna give you 18 and 10. You got shade that's gonna give you 40. And but you it be and then like Casey Wild, they cool, but I'm just trying to figure out how do y'all be getting, how y'all be pulling it off. It's like I'm it's something that I'm missing. I need to put my finger on it. Because it's like, yo, only way I see y'all beating people is like, all right, cool. Y'all, y'all get away with slapping people on the hand, grabbing people. Y'all don't get no file calls on y'all. Then when the other team do it, y'all can't even, you can't even breathe on shit. It's gonna be a foul. Then they start giving them files to case and while the ball wireless and I be looking like, yo, oh, this is how y'all doing it.

SPEAKER_00 37:10

And to y'all approve, till I go out there and see that y'all ain't they call the same amount of calls that they call for the other team, then I'm like, cool.

SPEAKER_01 37:18

We ain't never getting that. No, but you know what? No, no, no, no. You know what it is? This one, if they play the Spurs, it's gonna be even. You know why it's gonna be even? Because they want Wimby to win. Yo, that's the team to take them. That's it, by the way. Yeah, yeah. I said that too the first time we did. If you want to know why, though, because Steph Allen Castle straps up. He does. Castle straps up. He don't care about he might knock a three down here and there, but Castle straps up. Yeah, he'd be right there. And they got right. And all they do is they say, yo, all right, Shays, you want to go through the mid-range? Wemmy's gonna be right there. You're gonna have to work to get past me, and Wimby's gonna be right there. And you know he's not passing the ball like that, because he ain't one of them to really pass the ball like that.

SPEAKER_00 38:04

He wanna score. He ain't averaging no tennisist. He's not averaging no tennisist. I am close.

SPEAKER_01 38:12

You want point? That's that's why I think if it go like that with the Spurs, then yeah, I'll be like, I'll watch it. Because I know it's not gonna be, they both got their favorites who they want to win, like Wendy and Shade. Like, you know, it's like wrestling sometimes with the NBA. Yeah, it's like wrestling. Like it's a little scripted. Number one, uh, I uh Philadelphia 76ers versus the Boston Celtics. Um I'm gonna keep it real. It's hard to give us a game and Tatum back. I mean Yeah, I would say that tens, I'll say that seriously go 4-2-2 though. Yeah, yeah. Like we gonna make them work, but can we stop them? But then Boston might have a game where they just they do for one of those games. They always do for that. They just come out and just be playing around and we'll just end up beating them at least once out of the series. So I'm gonna go 4-1. You say 4-1?

unknown 39:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:18

I ain't meant at that.

SPEAKER_00 39:19

That's a good job. I'll say two though. I don't know. Some sixes have been depending on playing all right. Paul George's been playing all right, though.

SPEAKER_01 39:28

Yeah. PG, yeah. If PG can like, like if this is the old PG, I would put him right up there with Tatum, like in the verses. But um right now we just can't say that because he just, you know. Yeah, he just yeah, no, he ain't yeah. He ain't there. But yeah, I like, I like them. I hate to say it because we just keep running into Boston. And, you know, just is what it is at this point. I don't even have much to say about it. I don't, you know, it's Boston. They they'll probably go to the chip anyway, if uh unless Detroit got something to say about it, in my opinion. That'll phew. That's gonna be a good Eastern Conference finals. But that's far down the line, though. But that's gonna be a good one. So the winner of tonight's game is Suns or the Warriors. So I'm taking the Suns tonight, and then they'll play the Thunder on Sunday. Yeah, I'm taking the Suns. Yeah, I don't even want my boys to be in no mess like that. But either way, either way, the Thunder is knocking both of them teams out. And five. They're knocking both of the teams out, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:29

Yeah, you can say five. I would say five. You knock both of them out.

unknown 40:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:33

I don't have much the first round is just like a walk, a walk for them.

SPEAKER_00 40:40

Yeah, what's the what's the what's the what's after that?

SPEAKER_01 40:43

Um the magic or the horns. So the winner of this game. So the magic will be playing Detroit at 6 30 on Sunday. I'ma watch that. Yeah, Detroit's Detroit's sweeping whoever they play in the first round. Ooh, they sweeping Orlando? Yeah, they sweeping whoever they play in the first round. It's crazy because like we said, like earlier, like last year, I would have gave Orlando a game or two. This year. Yeah, no. Not this team. Tonight they look good. They're playing against the Hornets, who just I don't know what they're doing, but overall they just the way Detroit is playing this year, the way Cade is looking, the big fella down low, the Ren. Yeah, mind you, he's the best point guard in the NBA. You did say that.

unknown 41:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:27

A lot of people are gonna argue that they're still gonna say on that.

SPEAKER_00 41:31

Yeah, well, that's on them. I'm gonna stand on that though.

SPEAKER_01 41:38

I don't like I don't like calling Shay a point guard. That's my whole thing, bro. Because it was supposed to be Shay versus Edwards, like, so even when they matched up against each other, they wasn't sticking each other. So that's why the game is so different now, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, because Shea Shay the point guards. When we was younger, like, even if everybody was AI guarded Kobe, Kobe guard guarded AI until you know they had to switch them or whatever. But at least they started the game like that. T Mac and Kobe went at it. Vince Carden and Kobe, Ray Allen, Paul, like everybody, you know what I'm saying? But now it's like you got Lou Dort Garden.

SPEAKER_00 42:16

That's man, that's Lou Keekly.

SPEAKER_01 42:17

Yeah, nigga's a middle linebacker. You got him and play no defense. What rest of us would say about Patrick Beverly? What the rest of us would say he needs to be out there. He's out there running around. He don't play no defense. But that's why I like Edwards, though, because he'll step to Shea, but he won't do it back. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, definitely guard. So it'll be kind of like hard to analyze these matchups sometimes. But like I thought that I didn't think that um the the wolves was gonna beat them last year, but I just thought it would be a little better. Yeah, yeah. Every time Wolves get to that Western Conference final, they just can't get past them. Like, even when they had KG that get, but they went against Kobe and Shaq, though, so I can't really say nothing about that. Who did they send? Irvin Johnson. I don't even know who the I forgot. I don't know who they send him was. Oh bum. They team not to stop Shaq, yeah. Not to stop Shaq. Even if they would have had older with Camby that year, still no. Shaq used to eat him for lunch. Yeah, Shaq would just Shaq would get a different player. This is a funny series. Um, the Blazers versus Spurs.

SPEAKER_00 43:28

Yeah, see and that for and that foreign kid that played for the Blazers.

SPEAKER_01 43:34

He got some shit with him, bro.

SPEAKER_00 43:36

No, I don't like he ain't that either. You get to the line 40 times, you hard. I'm just trying to tell you, you get to the line 40 times, you're cool.

SPEAKER_01 43:45

He got a uh he got nice package, like Paul's. He got a nice um He can put it together out there. Like I seen him do some things on the court. If he don't get no file card, bro, trust me. You know better than me.

SPEAKER_00 44:00

You will see this you'll see it in the Spurs series. Don't worry, you'll see it. You'll see it. If he ain't getting that, he ain't getting that whistle, ain't gonna happen.

SPEAKER_01 44:08

Well that being said, that's 4-1. That's a gentleman's sweep. I'm gonna say they can sweep to him. The Spurs 62 and 20 this year, bro. That's a crazy jump from last season. I gotta give him a little respect for that. No, you definitely gotta respect. I like Castle though. I think Castle's gonna be a big part of it. And Harper too. Harper strapped up too. I like Harper too. He just like his pop. But like smoother, yeah. Yeah, he strapped up too. And the other one, too. I don't know the other. I forgot to argue. I don't know. I don't know the other guard name. Yeah, him.

SPEAKER_00 44:46

See, they got three guards that can really strap. Like he he he tough too, though.

SPEAKER_01 44:51

Big fella down low. Like, if Wimby plays ball, like, cause nobody in the Blazers can do nothing with it. What they gonna do with him? No, no, no, no, no. When he get hit, if he gets to his spots and just play basketball, don't be thinking about it too much. I know this is his first playoff, so it's gonna be a lot, like, you know what I'm saying? When he can get to his spots and play basketball the way he knows how. Yeah, he'll say, they can play good against Denver too, bro. I seen uh the last game they played against Denver, if it was not last Saturday, but the one before, I believe. Yo, did Yokers give him like 40?

SPEAKER_00 45:23

Yeah, didn't Yokers give like Wimby like 40.

SPEAKER_01 45:28

He did go to work, but they went at it for a minute. But um Aaron Aaron Gordon did a good job on Wimby.

SPEAKER_00 45:35

Yo, he really like he really like without him, without Aaron Gordon on Denver, I don't think they will be where they at though.

SPEAKER_01 45:42

No, he was a key player for sure. I think he really the he really liked the the blue guy. Yeah, he liked they drain. Yeah, he just a better, he just could score way better. Yeah, he can score right now. Yeah, he and like he's another you know example of somebody who worked on their game, you know what I'm saying? Because in the league, the first game he's just a dunker. And he couldn't shoot no three at all. Like he he worked hard to get to where he had so I mean shout out to Aaron Gordon. He definitely was all one of those guys that got in the lab. So anybody that that you know watched him from the start, you know what I'm saying? Even these young players that come in that come in just how he did as a high flyer, you know what I'm saying, raw talent. All you gotta do is put the work in.

SPEAKER_00 46:21

But the gotta do is work, man.

SPEAKER_01 46:24

Like, I don't really get having no sympathy for certain guys who you know never you know made nowhere in their career. Cause like, bro, all you gotta do is put the work in. Like, even you can go Blake Griffin, bro. Like, his career didn't end the way we probably wanted it to as a fan of basketball. Yeah, but he got the Detroit. Oh my god, he had the whole everything. He got the Detroit, he was in his bag. If he was able to do that with the Clippers, which I don't think he was able to because Chris Paul had the ball as well all the time. Then they just had a lot of people, like Jamal Crawford needed to rock, like stuff like that. But if he was able to like explore that side of his game more and um and um with the Clippers, I think they would have been better off. Yeah, yeah, for sure. That's all good. That was my guy regardless. No, no, no, for sure. I don't think, like, uh, is there any surprises coming out of these playoffs? I don't think so, man. I think everything's gonna go pretty much the way it's supposed to. I was selling then it probably would surprise me in the first round. If the Hawks speak the Knicks, that would surprise me. It would, but then it'd be like it's the Knicks. They like the Cowboys of the NBA in a way. That's a good one. That is true. That's like a good one. No, but they went farther than the Cowboys, though.

SPEAKER_00 47:44

They go farther than Cowboys.

SPEAKER_01 47:45

Yeah, at least they win the first series, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be a surprise to me, though. If the Knicks beat the uh that the Hawks beat the Knicks, that'd be a surprise to me. What's the you know, I don't know if you said it or not. What's the top series you were excited to watch? All of them, which the one you really want to. Denver. Denver and Minnesota. Yeah. That's gonna be the only hands down. That's gonna be the best one hands down. I gotta, I'm trying to agree with you on everything, but I might agree with you on that one. That's gonna be the best one.

SPEAKER_00 48:17

That's gonna be the best one. That's gonna be the best.

SPEAKER_01 48:19

They always got crazy intensity when they play against each other. Yeah, that's gonna be the good. That's gonna be the best one. That's gonna be the best. It's crazy that the Wolves really in the sixth place, though. They shouldn't even be in the sixth place with that team that they got, though. Yeah, bro. How bad was the Bucks this year? Huh? I said, how bad was the Bucks this year? Yeah, man. I'm trying, we're trying to see if you're trying to see if Giannis can come to Phoenix. I just thought about it, like, this is the first time I ever had a playoff talk without Giannis in a long time. I'm like, damn, how bad was it? He's not even the playoffs.

SPEAKER_00 48:50

Well, wherever he goes, man, he need to go somewhere. Like he knows like I know he don't want to do it, but he got to go somewhere he knows like, yo, I'm gonna win the ring this year.

SPEAKER_01 49:00

He's gonna have to do what KD did. Like he wanted to go, like, I know I'm going there, I'm gonna win. Yeah. Like, like I'm saying, like everybody, everybody, and I'm not saying like that, I'm saying like, of course things happen, but I'm gonna say, yo, I got a legit shot to win. Like, yo, yeah, we're gonna win this. I think the good thing about him versus like KD, maybe is because he got one already where he was at. No, I don't think so. He can't. I don't think the they're gonna say wherever he goes, yeah, wherever he goes, he should be good. Yeah, not that it matters at this point because the league is changing. But um, I don't think it's gonna be like the same backlash, even if he goes to a team that's good already. At this point, you establish yourself, you got an MVP, DPO wilds, all that, yeah. I don't care where you go. This don't go, this don't go to go to stake. No, that's too easy.

SPEAKER_00 49:44

I mean, no, no, no, not being easy.

SPEAKER_01 49:46

No, it's not gonna be easy, it's just like I want you to go somewhere, like somewhere where it's gonna be like, yo, like that's where they want him to go.

SPEAKER_00 49:55

They keep one, they have they've been going on for like 10 years.

SPEAKER_01 49:59

Nah, don't go there. Yeah, make it make sense, man. I don't want I mean I hate New York, but if he went there, I wouldn't even be mad. I hate New York. Yeah, I wouldn't be mad if he went. I wouldn't be mad if he went to New York. I wouldn't mind if he went to New York. I wouldn't be mad if he went to Detroit.

SPEAKER_00 50:14

I wouldn't be mad if he went to uh I wouldn't even mad if he went over there in Atlanta. With the new balls, I wouldn't even be mad if he went over there with them.

SPEAKER_01 50:25

Yeah, be running. He's gonna Detroit him and Duran. Yeah, they yeah. But you know what? That's the only thing that stopped him. They ain't got no shooting on Detroit. That's the only thing, that's why I ain't really I wanna pick them to go to the championship. They just don't got no, like, they don't got no shooters. And that would that would hurt them against Boston. That was gonna that's gonna hurt them, unless they play how they, but every time they play Boston, they smack Boston. I think it's just like that's the regular season, but Boston just yeah. They season two, Boston season, so it's like you gotta get them the benefit of the doubt a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 51:03

I think Boston's gonna probably go back to the finals. They're gonna probably go back to the finals.

SPEAKER_01 51:07

Yeah, I can't put Cleveland over them. I ain't showing nothing to say that.

SPEAKER_00 51:11

Yeah, I think they're gonna probably go to back to the finals.

SPEAKER_01 51:14

I just don't want it to be going them easy drawings, though. I want it like, you know what I'm saying? No, I'm gonna say OKZ. Because OKC probably gonna they probably gonna play OKC. That's where it's gonna probably. I think they can beat OKC. I'm saying I'm saying that because I want I'm saying that because I think like they probably gonna OKC probably gonna lose this year. So I'll just try and put some little because I don't want to watch that. I I I don't want to watch it. They better stay within the Spurs. I know that. Yeah, particularly me. When my team don't play, I really I try not to watch it anyway. I'm like, I don't want to watch it. I don't care, I don't really care at this point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, but I watch it, but I don't really be like, yeah, let me get up because I'm oh the game's on day. I don't know. It's not my team, so you know like I ain't been on that in a while myself. I can do that with football because it's different. Like it's gonna, I know it's gonna be a little different. Yeah, football totally different, even though I'll be a little biased sometimes when I'm in my uh Eagles feelings. But I gotta be honest. When they lose, no, I don't want to watch nobody. For real. When your football team loses, you'd be like, what?

SPEAKER_00 52:19

For real. When the patriots used to lose back in the day, I used to be like, oh, I can't watch these things.
