- 2:10So yeah, this is over on,
- 2:12it said Thursday.
- 2:14So bring on the rain.
- 2:16I never thought I'd be so happy.
- 2:17It's going to be a hundred and four
- 2:19degrees here on Friday.
- 2:21That's disgusting, dog.
- 2:24We have a feel like it's a hundred
- 2:25and eight again tomorrow.
- 2:29That is absolutely nasty.
- 2:31Like I told y'all,
- 2:33I would rather be on deployment right now.
- 2:36I would rather deal with the dry heat
- 2:38than this shit.
- 2:38Man, let me tell you something.
- 2:41The humidity is just what kills me.
- 2:44And you know what?
- 2:45I see people from the South.
- 2:47When we get the show going,
- 2:48I see people from the South like,
- 2:51Y'all acting like babies.
- 2:54Look,
- 2:54that's how we feel with y'all when it's
- 2:56four degrees.
- 2:56Y'all act like it's the end of the
- 2:58world when it's four degrees down there.
- 3:00So I guess it go hand in hand.
- 3:02But this shit here, like I don't want,
- 3:04I don't like extreme cold,
- 3:07but I definitely deal with the cold more
- 3:09than the damn extreme heat.
- 3:10Like when it's cold, you can layer up.
- 3:13You know what I'm saying?
- 3:14You can layer up and get going.
- 3:16When it's hot, humid,
- 3:18a hundred and ten degrees,
- 3:20you can be butt booted naked.
- 3:22And it does not matter.
- 3:23It does not matter.
- 3:29Real quick for somebody that is from the
- 3:31South.
- 3:32All y'all from the South can shut the
- 3:34hell up.
- 3:35It's hot.
- 3:35It's hot.
- 3:37I don't care how so-called used to the
- 3:40heat that you are.
- 3:41Damn it, it's hot out there.
- 3:43It's hot.
- 3:44I don't want to hear that.
- 3:46I don't want to hear that.
- 3:47Like, yeah, you're used to it,
- 3:49but it's hot.
- 3:50Like,
- 3:51I just saw the day on the news
- 3:52this morning.

- 3:54going to have ninety five plus five days
- 3:57straight in five years.
- 3:58Like, we don't like, oh, man, like what?
- 4:03Like we'd be humid, like we'll get like,
- 4:06eighty-two,
- 4:06eighty-five and it'd be humidity,
- 4:08but ninety-five plus the humidity being
- 4:12up, that's a hundred degrees.

- 5:27I want to say this.
- 5:30After watching...
- 5:32Serena Williams today.
- 5:33Like, I knew this.
- 5:34Like, women, and especially black women,
- 5:37are just amazing.
- 5:38Like, she, forty-four, forty-five,
- 5:43ain't played, she lost,
- 5:45but she ain't played in four years.
- 5:47She looked amazing out there.
- 5:48It's like, women are just,
- 5:50y'all just amazing.
- 5:51And then,
- 5:53I'm gonna do a shout-out to Raina real
- 5:55quick, because she listened to the show.
- 5:58She graduated over the weekend, man,
- 6:00and she did this
- 6:01She was taking care of me when I
- 6:04had surgery.
- 6:05You got folk hits.
- 6:06Folk hits.
- 6:08Working.
- 6:09Working.
- 6:10She was going to school every Saturday all
- 6:12day from like eight to four,
- 6:14eight to five,
- 6:15from February until the beginning of June.
- 6:19And she graduated over the weekend.
- 6:21So I want to shout out to her
- 6:22because y'all women,
- 6:26Y'all amazing.
- 6:27Y'all be holding that shit down.
- 6:29She held that shit down.
- 6:30She was doing everything.
- 6:32She had to drive everywhere.
- 6:34She cooked.
- 6:36Still do her normal stuff and then take
- 6:39up the stuff I was doing.
- 6:40I couldn't do.
- 6:41I couldn't do stuff for months.
- 6:42Shout out to her for getting it done.
- 6:44You know how school can be and just
- 6:47having a family.
- 6:48That shit can be rough.
- 6:49I can't take this shit no more.
- 6:51She made that shit through.
- 6:53I want to shout out to her.
- 6:54Really fun fact that I read the other
- 6:55day,
- 6:56it says giving childbirth is like breaking
- 6:58twenty bones in your body at once.
- 7:02Excuse me?
- 7:05Is that not crazy?
- 7:06Time out, time out, time out.
- 7:08Can you run that back one more time,
- 7:10please?
- 7:12It said giving childbirth,
- 7:14like being in labor,
- 7:15is equivalent to breaking twenty bones in
- 7:17your body at once.
- 7:20That is insane.
- 7:23Yeah,
- 7:23so when y'all out here having kids with
- 7:25no good men, don't do it.
- 7:27With no good men.
- 7:30I'm telling you for real, like,
- 7:31you risked your life and pain.
- 7:33Come on now.
- 7:34Like, yeah,
- 7:35I understand things can happen,
- 7:37but be diligent about who you sleeping in
- 7:39the bed with.
- 7:40Like, I get tired of... I don't know,
- 7:43Ram, but I get tired of people saying,
- 7:44go have with a baby with somebody you
- 7:46ain't with.
- 7:46Yeah.
- 7:47That shit just don't make no sense.
- 7:49Like, you know, just...
- 7:50Twenty bones at once is just insane
- 7:53because they've been working on studies to
- 7:54try to basically compare what labor feels
- 8:00like.
- 8:00And it's hard to really because everyone's
- 8:02experience is different, of course.
- 8:03But like the average person,
- 8:05they're saying it's equivalent to breaking
- 8:07twenty bones at once.
- 8:08And that's the key that that's the key
- 8:10part at once.
- 8:12Like, that's crazy.
- 8:14No, that's crazy.
- 8:15God bless.
- 8:15God bless.
- 8:16God bless.
- 8:18Yeah, it's closed over here.
- 8:19One and done.
- 8:21god bless to y'all um all right let's
- 8:23get into this show man uh we got
- 8:25lots to go on we got the commissioners
- 8:26cup we had crazy games over the weekend
- 8:30we got handshake gate if you know what
- 8:32i'm talking about we're gonna talk about
- 8:33that for a sec but we're gonna start
- 8:35off with the commissioners cup between las
- 8:37vegas aces and new york liberty asia
- 8:40wilson was not she was out if you
- 8:43didn't know she hurt her ankle against the
- 8:44sky was that sunday
- 8:48I think so.
- 8:50Yes.
- 8:50Saturday or Sunday, one of those days.
- 8:51Yeah, it was one of them games.
- 8:52Sunday, Sunday.
- 8:54The whole arena of gas.
- 8:55Like, everybody was just stuck.
- 8:56Everyone was quiet.
- 8:58You could hear a pin drop.
- 9:00Yeah, it was like, oh, shit.
- 9:02Because it didn't look great at first.
- 9:04I just sat there like, oh, okay.
- 9:07This is not like this.
- 9:09Not like this.
- 9:10And again, you know you're about to win.
- 9:11Not like this.
- 9:12You never want to get hurt,
- 9:12but not like that.
- 9:13But the Liberty ended up winning tonight,
- 9:16ninety-three to eighty-five.
- 9:19And it was a better game than I
- 9:21thought it was going to be.
- 9:23At first,
- 9:23it looked like the Liberty was going to
- 9:25you know run away with it and then
- 9:28they kept fighting the aces kept fighting
- 9:30kept fighting and that's the thing like we
- 9:32know like we know what asia is but
- 9:34when you got somebody players like chelsea
- 9:37and jackie
- 9:39you would think, like,
- 9:40it would still be some pride over there.
- 9:41We're going to hoop.
- 9:42We're going to still compete.
- 9:45And they did.
- 9:46And somebody who's always missing his
- 9:49jewel,
- 9:50but I'm going to hand it off to
- 9:52you, Lowe,
- 9:53and give me your thoughts on tonight's
- 9:55game.
- 9:56You know what?
- 9:57I don't believe in moral victories,
- 9:59but I think the Aces played really well.
- 10:01And I think that they shouldn't hold their
- 10:04heads.
- 10:05You know, they shouldn't hold their heads,
- 10:07honestly, because I didn't expect this.
- 10:09I didn't expect this to even be a
- 10:10competitive game.
- 10:12And like you said, Jay,
- 10:13it looked like it was getting away from
- 10:14them.
- 10:14The Liberty was up by seventeen points at
- 10:16one point in time.
- 10:17And then the Aces were able to come
- 10:18back.
- 10:18And also in this game,
- 10:19they lost Chelsea Gray for a short stint
- 10:21of time when she essentially hit faces
- 10:24with Feebich.
- 10:25So they were out there leader on the
- 10:27floor for a little bit of time as
- 10:29well.
- 10:29And they were able to stay steady.
- 10:32You know,
- 10:33we're having the same conversations that
- 10:35we had last year about Jewel Lloyd.
- 10:36And when I say this,
- 10:37I really don't want to be disrespectful,
- 10:39but the offensive decline that we have
- 10:43witnessed has really been astonishing to
- 10:45me.
- 10:46Like,
- 10:47I understand when players are regressing
- 10:50or just declining overall,
- 10:52but for Jules to be one of the
- 10:54best scorers in the WNBA at one point
- 10:56in time,
- 10:57to go from that to be unable to
- 11:00make wide-open threes,
- 11:01to be able to make wide-open middies,
- 11:03like...
- 11:05I just can't put my finger on what's
- 11:06going on.
- 11:08Like, I just don't get it.
- 11:09You know what I'm saying?
- 11:10Because we've given her the excuse of, oh,
- 11:13it must be mental.
- 11:14And we've given her the excuse of, oh,
- 11:16she must, you know,
- 11:17be getting used to playing in the Vegas
- 11:19system.
- 11:20And it's like...
- 11:22How long does it take?
- 11:23Right.
- 11:23How much longer are we going to give
- 11:24her excuses?
- 11:25Like, in this game in particularly,
- 11:28this is a game that Jewel should have
- 11:29thrived.
- 11:30Like,
- 11:31you used to be a number one option
- 11:33on a team for years.
- 11:35And the best player is out now.
- 11:37This is your time to shine.
- 11:38Like,
- 11:38shout out to Kennedy because she took
- 11:40advantage of her minutes out there.
- 11:42I think she ended up having, like,
- 11:45Jackie came alive in the second half,
- 11:46ended the game with thirty one points.
- 11:48But let's talk about the champions,
- 11:50New York.
- 11:51They still have a lot of questions to
- 11:52be answered, to be honest.
- 11:55With a fully healthy roster,
- 11:57essentially right now,
- 11:59they honestly should have blew Vegas out
- 12:01of the water in my opinion.
- 12:02Yes,
- 12:03they play with their food a little bit
- 12:04too much.
- 12:05But I think it was a welcoming sight
- 12:07to see Sabrina bounce back.
- 12:09Twenty six points,
- 12:10five boards and five assists on a night.
- 12:12She's been having trouble.
- 12:13acclimating back to the starting lineup
- 12:16since her injury.
- 12:17So we all knew that it was going
- 12:18to take a few games for her to
- 12:19get her legs back under her.
- 12:21And she played really well today.
- 12:22She hit the dagger, which let them know,
- 12:24like, hey, this game is over.
- 12:26And Stewie, I mean,
- 12:27they had no answer for her.
- 12:28Stewie was smart enough to take advantage
- 12:31of not having Asia in that paint.
- 12:33JJ was still camped out around a three.
- 12:35But Stewie was smart enough.
- 12:37Oh, for four.
- 12:38I'm crying.
- 12:40Stewie was smart enough to take advantage
- 12:42in the paint and she had twenty five
- 12:43points,
- 12:44eleven boards and she had some very big
- 12:46offensive rebounds that saved them several
- 12:49possessions.
- 12:50So overall, New York,
- 12:53they play well enough to win.
- 12:54But in the totality of it,
- 12:56like I don't think they played a great
- 12:57game.
- 12:57DeMarco,
- 12:58some of his rotations are very head
- 13:00scratching to me.
- 13:01Like that rotation,
- 13:03like in the end of the third quarter,
- 13:05you know, resting many of his starters,
- 13:07like that's when the aces were able to
- 13:08really come back in and make a push
- 13:10in order for it to be a competitive
- 13:11game coming into the fourth.
- 13:13So some of those like my new things
- 13:16right now that might not seem like a
- 13:18big deal.
- 13:19Will definitely seem like a big deal when
- 13:21it's playoff time and money's on the line
- 13:23and the championship is on the line.
- 13:24And again,
- 13:25this is his first time coaching women.
- 13:27And, you know,
- 13:28he's probably still getting familiar with
- 13:29the WNBA.
- 13:31But like some of the some of the
- 13:34lineups have been questionable and it's
- 13:35not just this game.
- 13:37But overall,
- 13:38shout out to the shout out to both
- 13:39teams.
- 13:40Shout out to the Aces for making it
- 13:42a competitive game,
- 13:43because once it was at seventeen points,
- 13:44I know I was about to turn.
- 13:47Yeah, like, I was shocked.
- 13:48Like,
- 13:49it was no reason for the game to
- 13:50be sixty-five,
- 13:51sixty-two at the end of the third quarter.
- 13:53No.
- 13:53Like, it was no reason for that.
- 13:55Like, none whatsoever.
- 13:57But, and I'm glad you did mention DeMarco.
- 14:01That's his name, right?
- 14:02DeMarco, right?
- 14:03Yeah.
- 14:03His rotations.
- 14:04I've been seeing, especially Jay Lenz,
- 14:06I see a lot of,
- 14:07I see a lot of Liberty fans not
- 14:10pull them with buddy yeah like they do
- 14:12not like him they talk about his rotations
- 14:15a lot um but one player i do
- 14:17want to speak on i'm gonna speak i'm
- 14:18gonna talk about her anyway bring her up
- 14:20even though she had a good game i've
- 14:22been seeing a lot of stuff on the
- 14:23timeline and i had asked a question and
- 14:26you know people you know take things you
- 14:28know the wrong way but it was like
- 14:32has sabrina piers passed her
- 14:36Like, she had a good game today,
- 14:37but it's like,
- 14:38does she get passes because she's Sabrina?
- 14:40She got a sneaker.
- 14:41And, you know,
- 14:43she's one of those few players that's
- 14:45recognizable.
- 14:47And she don't get no – I know
- 14:48she came out for an injury,
- 14:50but she don't get no heat ever.
- 14:55I'm on the fence because I feel like
- 14:58a lot of her career has been riddled
- 15:00with injuries.
- 15:01And the one year that we saw Sabrina
- 15:03actually be able to have a complete
- 15:05offseason with no injuries,
- 15:07she played well.
- 15:08And I think that was last year.
- 15:09She played well.
- 15:10She was passing the ball better.
- 15:12She was shooting the ball fairly well.
- 15:15But, I mean,
- 15:16I think it is time to have that
- 15:17conversation.
- 15:18Like,
- 15:19we have to remember when Sabrina came out
- 15:21of college,
- 15:21they were talking about her like she was
- 15:23the second coming of Jesus Christ.
- 15:25They were.
- 15:25People forget about that.
- 15:27Right.
- 15:28So in terms of like those expectations,
- 15:31in terms of those specific expectations,
- 15:33I would say, yeah,
- 15:33she's definitely underperformed.
- 15:36But when you look at it in the
- 15:37totality of things,
- 15:38she has a ring and a lot of
- 15:40people don't have a ring after playing
- 15:41seven, eight years.
- 15:42Yeah, that is true.
- 15:43It was just Sabrina Def against the Paz
- 15:47leading in the chat.
- 15:48Like, I was just wondering because,
- 15:50you know,
- 15:51people get slandered a lot for less.
- 15:54Right, correct.
- 15:56And her name never pops up.
- 15:58You know what I'm saying?
- 15:59But she's in a perfect position, too.
- 16:00Yes.
- 16:01you are rarely really blaming her because
- 16:04they have so many other people that can
- 16:06contribute.
- 16:06So even if she plays bad,
- 16:08like Stewie might have a great game and
- 16:10JJ might have a great game.
- 16:11So they still might win.
- 16:12So she gets to like brush things under
- 16:14the rug a little bit more just because
- 16:16she's surrounded by so much talent.
- 16:18And then before Stewie and JJ got there,
- 16:20the excuse was she didn't have anybody on
- 16:22her team.
- 16:23So it's always kind of been a reasoning,
- 16:25a reasoning behind, you know,
- 16:28why she hasn't been able to consistently
- 16:30perform.
- 16:32Mm-hmm.
- 16:32Yeah,
- 16:33I was just wondering how you felt about
- 16:34that.
- 16:35I see the chat.
- 16:35Let's talk about it, J-Lens.
- 16:38Ask the air, Mike.
- 16:39Listen, if I'm New York...
- 16:42If I'm New York,
- 16:43I'm seeing what I'm not saying trader,
- 16:45but I'm seeing what I can get because
- 16:47now that rookie is giving you what Saab
- 16:49was giving you.
- 16:50She can't shoot as good as her,
- 16:51but her ability to set up the offense
- 16:54is better.
- 16:55She's feisty.
- 16:56She's going to go to the cup harder.
- 16:57Like, I'm just saying I would shop around.
- 17:01I ain't saying trader.
- 17:01Is there a reason why we're not full
- 17:06screen?
- 17:06Are we not?
- 17:09It does look actually weird now.
- 17:14I don't know if it's like this on
- 17:16the whole thing,
- 17:17but it's like we're very small on one
- 17:20side,
- 17:20and then it's a whole big picture is
- 17:21what I see on my end.
- 17:24It's vertical.
- 17:24What the hell?
- 17:26Yeah, that's what it looks like.
- 17:28On one side, it looks vertical,
- 17:29and then on the other side,
- 17:30it's horizontal.
- 17:30I can see two pictures of us.
- 17:33What the hell?
- 17:38It looks like freaking what's called
- 17:41StreamYard and added some shit.
- 17:44I'm going to the sentence saying landscape
- 17:47and portrait.
- 17:48Oh, hell no.
- 17:49Probably for this show, y'all,
- 17:52it's going to be like that,
- 17:53but going forward,
- 17:53it's not going to be like that.
- 17:55I hate when places change interfaces and
- 17:58don't let nobody know,
- 17:58but we'll get that figured out for next
- 18:00week.
- 18:01Did she not play tonight?
- 18:01She didn't.
- 18:02Her spot about to be taken, too.
- 18:07Yeah, she did not play.
- 18:08And it says coach's decision.
- 18:10Who knows?
- 18:12They said it looks like we're live twice.
- 18:14One is a short and one is a
- 18:15regular video.
- 18:16That's what it looks like, a short.
- 18:17Oh, okay.
- 18:17Okay, okay, okay.
- 18:18All right, Brett.
- 18:19Throw me off too.
- 18:20I ain't going to lie.
- 18:20I'll get that fixed.
- 18:22But that's crazy.
- 18:23She got coach's decision and Satu was out
- 18:26because of what?
- 18:27Another concussion?
- 18:30I don't even know, to be honest.
- 18:32I don't know what's going on with Sasha.
- 18:35Yeah, she was out for a concussion.
- 18:36But when did she get a concussion?
- 18:37Like,
- 18:38that's what I'm trying to figure out.
- 18:39What the hell is going on with concussions
- 18:41this year?
- 18:42Like,
- 18:42what are they doing in practice to be
- 18:43getting these damn concussions like this?
- 18:45All these different players.
- 18:47Like, that's wild.
- 18:49That's going on.
- 18:50But all of that,
- 18:54shout out to the Liberty.
- 18:55They won.
- 18:55I need three.
- 18:56Eighty-five.
- 18:56Shouldn't have been way more than that.
- 18:59But shout out to them.
- 19:00Do y'all care about the Commissioner's
- 19:02Cup?
- 19:03no absolutely not never have never but
- 19:09look everyone who wins it ends up losing
- 19:10the championship yeah chat y'all giving
- 19:13shit about the commissioners cup this type
- 19:16of stuff is like that's this euro
- 19:18basketball stuff they brought they brought
- 19:19over here like that's euro stuff soccer
- 19:23euro basketball having in in season type
- 19:27stuff so
- 19:29Nope, nope.
- 19:30I want my gals to win that extra
- 19:31money.
- 19:32I feel that.
- 19:33Even though they got... I feel that.
- 19:35They said that about another New York...
- 19:37All right, Jay Lenz.
- 19:40All right, no Knicks talk.
- 19:42I don't know what to do about B&A
- 19:44or... How do you say her name?
- 19:49Feebish?
- 19:51Feebish.
- 19:52Feebish.
- 19:52Feebish.
- 19:53Feebish.
- 19:53Feebish.
- 19:54Feebish.
- 19:54Feebish.
- 19:59Maybe it's something they don't see in
- 20:00practice.
- 20:01They don't like.
- 20:02Coach's decision is crazy when you already
- 20:03got somebody out.
- 20:05So I don't know.
- 20:06I just feel like she's struggling to come
- 20:08back from her injury.
- 20:10That knee?
- 20:11Yeah,
- 20:12but we have to remember she's been
- 20:14injured.
- 20:15That thing has been lingering for a while.
- 20:19That is true.
- 20:20So who knows?
- 20:22And she came back on a one-year deal,
- 20:23right?
- 20:24Yeah,
- 20:25and this will be her last year in
- 20:26New York.
- 20:27Yeah, it is.
- 20:27I can't.
- 20:28Unless something completely changes before
- 20:32the end of the year,
- 20:32I can't see nothing.
- 20:33I mean, they're so stacked.
- 20:34I mean, they need her in terms of,
- 20:36like, defensive stuff, but, like,
- 20:38she's not really producing offensively,
- 20:40so.
- 20:41Yeah, facts.
- 20:43I forget Beck Allen is there.
- 20:45I forget she there.
- 20:46Coach's decision, she didn't play tonight,
- 20:48so it is what it is.
- 20:50No,
- 20:50I don't care about the actual
- 20:51championship.
- 20:51No,
- 20:52I only watched it because of the aces.
- 20:55That's funny.
- 20:56Anything else on this game, Lo?
- 20:57Wally,
- 20:58you got a thing to say about this
- 20:59game?
- 21:00Mm-mm.
- 21:01No,
- 21:02great game overall because I was with
- 21:04y'all once they got down to .
- 21:05I was like, ah.
- 21:05Yeah.
- 21:05I have to go do some other stuff
- 21:08real quick.
- 21:09Yeah.
- 21:10But, no, look,
- 21:11I gave it the old college try,
- 21:13and it panned out.
- 21:14It did.
- 21:14It panned out.
- 21:16Shout out to Jackie Young because she damn
- 21:18sure put that team on her back.
- 21:20She did.
- 21:23Freaking... What's that girl?
- 21:26Cheyenne.
- 21:27Cheyenne did well.
- 21:28Cheyenne did well stepping in.
- 21:31That's why I was really shocked at how
- 21:36Vegas,
- 21:37all the role players responded outside of
- 21:40Jewel Lloyd and Stephanie.
- 21:44I sent y'all my thoughts.
- 21:45I just can't prove it.
- 21:48I just can't prove it.
- 21:51But...
- 21:52Overall, good game.
- 21:53I can't complain.
- 21:55All I appreciate is good basketball.
- 21:57Yeah.
- 21:59Satu had her concussion against the Aces
- 22:00last week on Tuesday.
- 22:01She got hit in the head.
- 22:02Unfortunately,
- 22:03Satu has had a concussion since game four.
- 22:06Yeah, I mean...
- 22:08Yeah, be careful with them damn things.
- 22:10Jewel, real quick,
- 22:12Jewel only had five points, two from nine,
- 22:14one from seven from three.
- 22:15She missed her only free throw.
- 22:19KB, you know, seven points,
- 22:22three rebounds, three from five.
- 22:23Like,
- 22:23you can't ask for too much more than
- 22:25that.
- 22:25She gave you seven points, so...
- 22:27That's more than what Stephanie,
- 22:28Stephanie gave you nothing in thirteen
- 22:30minutes, one rebound,
- 22:33and she shot the ball one time that
- 22:35was a three and she missed it.
- 22:37Can I ask a question about,
- 22:39what was the,
- 22:43what is she known for as a player?
- 22:45Who?
- 22:45And I'm not trying to, Stephanie.
- 22:47Three and D.
- 22:48I'm not trying to be funny,
- 22:50I'm legit asking the question because
- 22:53every time I've watched an Aces game,
- 22:57She looks lost.
- 23:02I'm dog.
- 23:05Stop laughing at this stuff.
- 23:07No, she does.
- 23:09I'm wholeheartedly being serious about
- 23:12this because it just looks like she looks
- 23:14so lost when she's out there and for,
- 23:19especially for her to be starting.
- 23:24They said she's a token white player.
- 23:27She must be doing something in practice
- 23:29because she must be hooping in practice.
- 23:31That's all I got.
- 23:32I don't know.
- 23:33That's all I got, too.
- 23:34She must be.
- 23:35Yes, Jewel should be ashamed.
- 23:37Like Lo said before we move on,
- 23:38like Lo said,
- 23:42she's trying to get comfortable and
- 23:44understand the system.
- 23:45You get that past the first season.
- 23:47We'll give you a whole season for that.
- 23:50Like, but it is,
- 23:52this is the second month of this new
- 23:54season.
- 23:55And you still out there looking like you
- 23:58don't know what the hell to do.
- 23:59So, I mean,
- 24:03we got to wait for it to the
- 24:04playoffs.
- 24:05I mean, that's just annoying,
- 24:06but shit like that to happen.
- 24:07But it is what it is.
- 24:08Like you said, it's a crazy drop off.
- 24:10Sometimes people just,
- 24:11games just drop off like that in Seattle.
- 24:14Crazy.
- 24:15Cause she not, I mean,
- 24:16her games are dropping before she even got
- 24:18older.
- 24:18Like she not that old.
- 24:20Yeah, how old is Jewel?
- 24:21She gotta be like my age.
- 24:23Not them shooting fireworks.
- 24:27Okay, ghetto.
- 24:28Here we go.
- 24:29It's that week.
- 24:30What's she like, thirty-three?
- 24:32She gotta be what, thirty-five?
- 24:33Thirty-four?
- 24:35I thought she was like my year.
- 24:37Oh, she might.
- 24:38Man,
- 24:39what year did she come out of Notre
- 24:40Dame?
- 24:42I forget.
- 24:43She came out early, remember?
- 24:44She's thirty-two.
- 24:46Oh, thirty-two.
- 24:47That's even worse.
- 24:48Yeah.
- 24:49That's even worse.
- 24:51Them saxophones getting louder, sister.
- 24:53Yeah, that's even worse.
- 24:54Woo.
- 24:56Do you guys see Satu actually fit in
- 24:58with this Liberty Squire or they don't
- 24:59need her?
- 25:01Um...
- 25:04I mean,
- 25:04that's a player that averaged seventeen
- 25:06and nine boards last year,
- 25:07so she would make anything better.
- 25:10Yeah, she's.
- 25:11Yeah,
- 25:11it's like it was like did did the
- 25:15Liberty have need to go get her?
- 25:18No,
- 25:18but she just like an addition to was
- 25:20like.
- 25:22If she out there,
- 25:22you got to you got to respect her
- 25:24game if she out there regardless.
- 25:25So it was like.
- 25:27I mean,
- 25:27I think it's going to take time for
- 25:29them to like the Liberty are going to
- 25:31look really good by the end of the
- 25:33season.
- 25:34They are one of the lengthiest teams in
- 25:36the league and they're able to switch on
- 25:37everything.
- 25:39JJ has created a lot of mismatches for
- 25:41a lot of the centers because she's now
- 25:43hanging out because they have so much
- 25:44spacing.
- 25:45She's able to hang out even more on
- 25:48the three-point line,
- 25:49which is forcing centers to step out of
- 25:51the paint and allowing, you know,
- 25:52easy layups.
- 25:54But I think just based on Satu's ability
- 25:57to score to basketball, her length,
- 25:59like she's going to be –
- 26:01Huge for them in trying to win a
- 26:02championship this year.
- 26:03I think it's just going to take time.
- 26:04Like they've had so many injuries,
- 26:06people in and out of the lineup.
- 26:08So the starting five has truly not played
- 26:10many games together.
- 26:11And we're what, seventeen,
- 26:12eighteen games in.
- 26:13We're always we're almost halfway through
- 26:14the season.
- 26:15And they still probably the starting five
- 26:16still probably hasn't played five total
- 26:18games together.
- 26:20That's a that's a fact.
- 26:20That is a fact.
- 26:24All right.
- 26:24I want to talk too much about both
- 26:26of these.
- 26:26I feel like we talk about,
- 26:27especially the Asians,
- 26:27we talk about them a lot.
- 26:30This ain't nothing wrong with that.
- 26:36Hold on now.
- 26:36His wife listening.
- 26:40You know I'm playing.
- 26:41I'm the biggest cock blocker.
- 26:42Yo, yeah, yeah.
- 26:47Oh shit.
- 26:48I knew you was gonna respond.
- 26:51You know our good sister does not play
- 26:54about J.
- 26:58Please don't get my brother in trouble.
- 27:00Please!
- 27:01Oh, man.
- 27:02But yeah, actually, J-Dell,
- 27:04I was about to go right and talk
- 27:05about the Dream.
- 27:06The Dream, they had a crazy good week,
- 27:09man.
- 27:09They played well against the Tempo.
- 27:12They beat the Fever in back-to-back games.
- 27:14They beat the Tempo again, and then...
- 27:18They played Golden State back-to-back
- 27:20games, lost both games,
- 27:21and then Saturday went to Seattle and lost
- 27:25by, what, by fifteen, I believe it was?
- 27:28Yes.
- 27:29I think it was about fifteen they lost.
- 27:31Let me double check that.
- 27:33But they lost three straight,
- 27:35and I feel like this is like part
- 27:37of the third, fourth,
- 27:37we're talking about the dream,
- 27:39but they are just not, oh,
- 27:43the low leave?
- 27:45Yeah, she dropped off.
- 27:46That's why I popped out.
- 27:49But I don't know what's going on with
- 27:51the Dream.
- 27:51They look good one week,
- 27:52then the next week they're looking bad.
- 27:54They look great at home.
- 27:58They look great at home.
- 27:59Amazing.
- 28:02These motherfuckers are six and five on
- 28:03the road.
- 28:06The thing is,
- 28:07they need to figure out what
- 28:09whatever they're doing at home needs to,
- 28:12they need,
- 28:12it needs to travel on the road and
- 28:14it's not doing that.
- 28:15And the games that they're losing,
- 28:17like they're,
- 28:18all these games that they're losing are
- 28:21very much winnable games.
- 28:23They're just not,
- 28:24they're not producing the way that they
- 28:26should.
- 28:29They're not, they're not producing.
- 28:33They look,
- 28:33and I didn't even realize they was playing
- 28:35that bad on the road.
- 28:37I did not realize that whatsoever.
- 28:38But I also see,
- 28:39I see BB say they main player needs
- 28:41to be more consistent.
- 28:43And I'm going to go.
- 28:44Both of them do.
- 28:45And this was Lois just talking about.
- 28:49Lois just talking about this a few weeks
- 28:51ago when people was on Jordan Canada as.
- 28:55And you need to be on.
- 28:56Right.
- 28:56You're on the wrong one.
- 28:57Alicia Gray.
- 28:58You need to be on Ryan.
- 29:01Everybody.
- 29:02Angel.
- 29:02I don't want to bring her into this
- 29:04because I just don't like them people.
- 29:06I wouldn't bring Angel in just on the
- 29:11sense that she just got here.
- 29:13Yeah, she just got there.
- 29:14But your main two and Ryan and Alicia,
- 29:18those are the ones that people need to
- 29:21hyper-focus on if we're going to be real.
- 29:24Then Alicia,
- 29:25did she get hurt in one of those
- 29:26games against the Valkyries?
- 29:27I think I might want to give her
- 29:29a pass on one of those.
- 29:31I think she did.
- 29:33I'm not, correct me if I'm wrong.
- 29:34I think she did, too.
- 29:35I think she did, too.
- 29:36I can't remember.
- 29:36I think she got hurt.
- 29:37Maybe the second one, I think it was.
- 29:39I forgot.
- 29:40But if you think about,
- 29:41I'm looking at the box score right now,
- 29:44just face value when they played the
- 29:46Storm.
- 29:47You had Ryan.
- 29:49She had how many points?
- 29:50She had twenty-seven.
- 29:51She came.
- 29:52Angel had seventeen.
- 29:55Alicia Gray had fifteen.
- 29:57I mean, to be honest,
- 29:58I think – I guess my opinion on
- 30:01the whole thing is I think it's a
- 30:02combination of things.
- 30:03I think it's their offensive
- 30:05inconsistency, you know, like we said.
- 30:07And I think the main thing in these
- 30:09last three games that they've lost is
- 30:10they've missed their defensive
- 30:12assignments.
- 30:12And I think prior to –
- 30:14Their recent games against the Valkyries
- 30:16at Dream were one of the league's
- 30:18high-scoring offenses.
- 30:20But Golden State, we all know,
- 30:22is a team that mucks stuff up.
- 30:23They're high energy.
- 30:26They are very disciplined.
- 30:28They're physical.
- 30:29So they came in and completely disrupted
- 30:31their rhythm in both contests.
- 30:34Their activity made – because the Dream
- 30:37like to get out in transition.
- 30:39They like to play fast.
- 30:40They like to get up a lot of
- 30:40threes.
- 30:41And the Valkyries activity forced Atlanta
- 30:43into half-court possessions instead of
- 30:46letting them play fast.
- 30:48And in doing that,
- 30:50the Dream only shot thirty-nine percent in
- 30:51the first meeting and then thirty-four
- 30:53percent from the field in the second
- 30:54meeting and then twenty-two percent from
- 30:57long distance.
- 30:57And that's just...
- 30:59their game is shooting threes.
- 31:00And if you're shooting twenty two percent
- 31:02from long distance,
- 31:02you're probably not going to win that
- 31:03game.
- 31:05And this is my main concern about the
- 31:07Atlanta Dream.
- 31:08Of course,
- 31:08they're missing a huge piece in Bree
- 31:10Jones.
- 31:10So before the comments about that.
- 31:13Right.
- 31:13Nas was out.
- 31:14So we get that right.
- 31:15But my concern with Atlanta is not their.
- 31:19My concern with Atlanta is it's fun to
- 31:22play fast basketball during the regular
- 31:25season, but when the playoffs come,
- 31:27you have to be able to execute in
- 31:29the half court.
- 31:30When the game slows down,
- 31:31when the other team is playing you in
- 31:33a series and they know your go-to plays,
- 31:36they know the sets that you like.
- 31:38You have to be able to slow the
- 31:39ball down in the half court and be
- 31:40able to score.
- 31:41And sometimes when their half court
- 31:43offense is mainly predicated on
- 31:47Alicia going one on one or Ryan going
- 31:50one on one.
- 31:50It's a lot of ISO ball in regards
- 31:52to like when they have to slow it
- 31:53down in the half court and they need
- 31:55to be able to move the ball a
- 31:56little bit better, in my opinion.
- 31:58And I think that's going to be a
- 32:00big issue for them in the playoffs.
- 32:02But I do think with Bree Jones coming
- 32:04back,
- 32:04that'll help them in the half court
- 32:06because Bree Jones can put her back to
- 32:07the basket and get you a bucket.
- 32:10And in terms of like that Seattle game,
- 32:12Atlanta's defense was just non-existent.
- 32:14You know,
- 32:15the storm shot sixty percent from the
- 32:17field in the first half and seventy two
- 32:19percent in the second.
- 32:20Seventy two percent.
- 32:21That's crazy.
- 32:22That's nuts.
- 32:25From a defensive point,
- 32:27it was just blown defensive rotations,
- 32:29too many second chance points allowed,
- 32:32difficulty containing the dribble
- 32:34penetration, late closeouts,
- 32:36just poor defense.
- 32:38I think once they get bodies back
- 32:41healthier,
- 32:42it'll look a little bit cleaner,
- 32:43but they got to start on that defensive
- 32:45end.
- 32:45They should be one of the best defensive
- 32:47teams in the league.
- 32:48They have the bodies and the skill set
- 32:50and the athleticism to do that,
- 32:52but
- 32:53you know, they're having a rough patch.
- 32:54I, if I'm an Atlanta fan,
- 32:56I'm not taking it too, you know,
- 32:59too seriously at this point in time,
- 33:00but it's definitely something to note.
- 33:02You know what I'm saying?
- 33:04It definitely is,
- 33:04because you've got the Mystics coming up.
- 33:06Not saying they're a slouch team,
- 33:08because they're going to compete,
- 33:09the Mystics.
- 33:10And then now you've got the Valkyries
- 33:13again on Saturday.
- 33:15You've got coming back,
- 33:16and then you've got another game against
- 33:17the Storm.
- 33:17So you can get some stuff back.
- 33:20Then you've got Portland.
- 33:21You can get some more wind under your
- 33:22belt.
- 33:22I think a lot of these games are
- 33:23at home.
- 33:24Matter of fact, yeah,
- 33:26after the misses game,
- 33:27the next three is at home.
- 33:28So they get that home cooking,
- 33:30that home crowd behind them.
- 33:31But like you said,
- 33:33and we know Bree Jones is a big
- 33:34piece that's missing.
- 33:36I don't know when she's due back.
- 33:39I think they said the last I heard,
- 33:42did she just start five on five?
- 33:44Damn.
- 33:46I think I heard that.
- 33:47If she didn't start already,
- 33:49she's like a week or two away.
- 33:51But I want to say I thought I
- 33:52heard them say she just started like five
- 33:55on five, but I could be wrong.
- 33:56It could be somebody else who just started
- 33:57five on five.
- 33:57Do we think she's going to be back
- 33:58before All-Star break or right after?
- 34:01I wouldn't bring her back before.
- 34:02Why?
- 34:03Yeah, me either.
- 34:04I'll wait to after All-Star.
- 34:08Give her a little bit of extra rest.
- 34:10I mean, they're still...
- 34:11What's their overall record?
- 34:14Twelve and seven?
- 34:16And what's their ranking?
- 34:18Like, where are they in the standings?
- 34:19Excuse me.
- 34:20I don't know.
- 34:23Wally, you got that?
- 34:24I can look.
- 34:24I don't know what their standings are.
- 34:26Probably because I know that three to
- 34:28seven spot is kind of close.
- 34:32So if they're still in that middle tier,
- 34:34I'm in no rush to bring her back.
- 34:38Just because why try to speed up the
- 34:41process when you can bring her back after
- 34:42you still have half the games to play.
- 34:44Minnesota, Vegas, Golden State, Atlanta.
- 34:45Yeah, I'm not bringing her back.
- 34:55And then the Liberty.
- 34:57Can you guess who the sixth seed is
- 34:59right now without looking at the chat?
- 35:02The sixes.
- 35:03So you said Lynx, Aces, Valkyries,
- 35:05Liberty.
- 35:07I'm going to go... Not the...
- 35:14I don't know.
- 35:14Seattle?
- 35:16No, they lost like eleven in a row.
- 35:17Hold on.
- 35:18They lost like eleven in a row.
- 35:19It got to be...
- 35:22It has to be the Fire or Dallas.
- 35:24Yeah, it's Dallas.
- 35:25Yeah, it's Dallas.
- 35:28Damn, they're six?
- 35:29Yeah, they're six.
- 35:30And then the Fever is seventh,
- 35:31and then Washington is eighth.
- 35:33I forgot.
- 35:33I honestly forgot it was the Fever.
- 35:35Damn.
- 35:37Yeah, because, you know,
- 35:38the Fever has been – In headlines,
- 35:42brother.
- 35:43They're some traffic cones.
- 35:45Yeah, they're some traffic cones, too,
- 35:47on defense as well when you got –
- 35:49And that's why there's seven.
- 35:51Both of them guards just look like they
- 35:53can't guard a stop sign.
- 35:54And that's why there's seven.
- 35:56Yeah, that's definitely why.
- 35:57I don't care how many points you can
- 35:58put up.
- 35:59You got to be able to stop.
- 36:00Yeah,
- 36:02you can't get you got to get consecutive
- 36:03stops and they can't get that sometimes.
- 36:05So I'm not going to lie.
- 36:06I didn't expect them to look this bad.
- 36:08Like,
- 36:08do I think it's time to turn it
- 36:09around?
- 36:09Absolutely.
- 36:11When you have great players on your team
- 36:12like they do.
- 36:13But I didn't expect them to look like
- 36:15this.
- 36:16They're really struggling at that four
- 36:18spot not having Natasha Howard anymore.
- 36:21They're really struggling there.
- 36:22They don't know if they want to play.
- 36:23most villains they don't know if they want
- 36:25to play maisha like they don't know they
- 36:27don't know what they want to do there
- 36:29and it doesn't help that lexi's struggling
- 36:30either yeah but neither neither one of
- 36:34them are giving you anything regardless
- 36:35that's what i'm saying that but that's
- 36:37that's the point like they're not getting
- 36:38anything from that four position at all at
- 36:41all zero um
- 36:46That's why I asked about Lexi last week
- 36:48before I got a phone call and everything
- 36:52just started to go haywire on my side.
- 36:54But that's why I asked about Lexi last
- 36:55week because I'm like, man,
- 36:59we need just a little bit of offense
- 37:02out of you just to be a possible
- 37:05threat to help cover up that four spot
- 37:08at the very least.
- 37:09I'm not sure what's going on with her,
- 37:11to be honest.
- 37:13Me either because I felt like she shot
- 37:15a lot better last year.
- 37:16Yeah,
- 37:17the shots that she's getting are shots
- 37:18that she usually knocks down.
- 37:20So I'm not really sure what's going on
- 37:22with her.
- 37:22Hopefully she can change it around in the
- 37:23second half of the season.
- 37:24But, I mean, even Aaliyah Boston, yeah,
- 37:27Aaliyah Boston,
- 37:28like looking at her numbers, they look,
- 37:31I think,
- 37:31almost either equivalent to last year or a
- 37:33little bit better.
- 37:35But the eye test,
- 37:36she doesn't look – like it doesn't look
- 37:38better to me
- 37:40visually watching the game.
- 37:41It's weird.
- 37:42I don't know.
- 37:42I don't know how to explain it,
- 37:43but like,
- 37:45it just looks like enough touches, right?
- 37:47Like she's not getting enough touches,
- 37:49but her points are like her production is
- 37:51still kind of similar.
- 37:54I don't know.
- 37:55I just, you know,
- 37:56I've been saying it since Caitlin got
- 37:57there.
- 37:57I think I love Caitlin's playmaking
- 37:59abilities.
- 37:59I think that that is the best part
- 38:01of her game, to be honest.
- 38:02Like I'm not as wild by the logo
- 38:04threes as everyone else is because Sabrina
- 38:06was doing that shit too.
- 38:08Other players have done it,
- 38:09but she just had a little bit more
- 38:11leeway in doing it based on the school
- 38:13that she went to.
- 38:14She was not going to be pulling that
- 38:15shit at South Carolina or UConn,
- 38:17schools like that.
- 38:19But her playmaking, in my opinion,
- 38:21is her best attribute.
- 38:23And I think that even with that said,
- 38:25I think that the Indiana offense runs
- 38:27better when Aaliyah Boston has the ability
- 38:30to make plays in that high post position.
- 38:33And I'm not saying that that should be
- 38:34the only offense that they run,
- 38:35but
- 38:36But I think that it should be a
- 38:40large part of their offense when she's at
- 38:41the high post and able to make decisions.
- 38:43Mm-hmm.
- 38:45I don't even know how we got into
- 38:46fever, but yeah.
- 38:46Me either.
- 38:48Before we... Running down the schedule.
- 38:50We did.
- 38:50Running down the schedule and the
- 38:52standards.
- 38:53Yeah.
- 38:54Before... And Jeremy,
- 38:56who knows if Golden State actually wanted
- 38:58Moe Billings?
- 38:59She can't stay somewhere they don't want
- 39:01her.
- 39:03But real quick,
- 39:04before we move on from Atlanta...
- 39:06The little goofy situation that happened
- 39:08between Flage and Angel,
- 39:12is it a big deal?
- 39:13A lot of people were saying it was
- 39:16a minute left,
- 39:16and Angel was just locked in,
- 39:18and they felt like Flage was being petty.
- 39:20How y'all look at the situation?
- 39:23She was locked in.
- 39:24I mean, the game was essentially over.
- 39:26She locked in about.
- 39:26Yeah, the game was over.
- 39:28what i'm confused i didn't see it live
- 39:31i saw like the after like the aftermath
- 39:34on social media and i mean i get
- 39:36both sides of it people think four was
- 39:39trying to be petty but angel did the
- 39:41same thing to kai literally she did the
- 39:44same thing to kai when they were winning
- 39:46and kai like kind of you know we
- 39:47all know that they're close kai done
- 39:49bought the girl flowers and all that kind
- 39:50of stuff
- 39:51But like Angel was trying to dap up
- 39:53Ka or play with her like when Atlanta
- 39:56was up and the game was almost over
- 39:58and Ka was like this and kind of
- 40:00pushed her away.
- 40:00So it's like you can't you can't have
- 40:03it both ways.
- 40:04Like, you know, you just can't.
- 40:06That's my opinion.
- 40:07You just can't have it both ways.
- 40:08But I don't care about that, man.
- 40:12I don't need her to try and do
- 40:14the same shit.
- 40:15If Atlanta, let's say Atlanta wins,
- 40:17you know,
- 40:18they're about to close out the game.
- 40:20She better keep the same energy.
- 40:22Don't try and depth for her.
- 40:25Oh, yeah, the next game,
- 40:27if they beat Seattle and there's a minute
- 40:29left,
- 40:29she can't do that because the way she
- 40:30didn't like this.
- 40:31I'm going to keep it a bug, though.
- 40:34Don't dap me at all, bro.
- 40:37First of all, I'm a sore loser,
- 40:38but I can admit that.
- 40:39I don't like to lose.
- 40:42I hate losing more than I like winning.
- 40:43And so if I'm just as a competitor,
- 40:48friend or not,
- 40:49don't that me up when it's time on
- 40:51the clock.
- 40:51I'll see you guys in the game.
- 40:53No facts.
- 40:53And I think it's more so.
- 40:55And I think it was just more fuel
- 40:57to the fire because people said that Flage
- 41:00and Angel don't really rock with each
- 41:02other.
- 41:02They got history with each other.
- 41:04They won a national championship.
- 41:06So they've been in the trenches.
- 41:07They know how to get under each other's
- 41:09skin and shit like that.
- 41:10Yeah.
- 41:11But that's why I didn't like it.
- 41:13That's why I didn't like Angel's reaction
- 41:15because she knew all the cameras on her.
- 41:17You know what I'm saying?
- 41:17And because it's already this narrative
- 41:19behind y'all not liking each other, like,
- 41:22worst case scenario, just, you know,
- 41:26give her a head nod or something.
- 41:28You know what I'm saying?
- 41:28Mm-hmm.
- 41:32Tiger said,
- 41:32if it was the other way around,
- 41:33people who were mad would be eating it
- 41:35up.
- 41:35Yes, I know.
- 41:36Yes, they would.
- 41:37We know how it goes.
- 41:39But I do feel like Flagey was being
- 41:43petty.
- 41:44Like, for sure, she just bust her ass.
- 41:48Flazzy had a great game, too.
- 41:49Hooping.
- 41:50Hooping.
- 41:51She was busting their ass and shit like
- 41:52that.
- 41:53So who knows?
- 41:54But then also, in their defense,
- 41:56wasn't that, like,
- 41:57the first win after losing eleven games?
- 41:59So she was probably just hyped.
- 42:01Yeah.
- 42:01They had lost, like,
- 42:02eleven in a row or something like that.
- 42:03So, baby, I'm talking about shit, too,
- 42:05because guess what?
- 42:06Y'all a contender.
- 42:07Y'all supposed to be one of the best
- 42:08teams in the league.
- 42:09We're supposed to be trash.
- 42:10We're supposed to be rebuilding.
- 42:11We just cooked y'all.
- 42:12Like, I'm talking about shit, too.
- 42:14Yeah, so I didn't, you know, you know.
- 42:16I get both sides.
- 42:17Yeah, I get both sides for sure.
- 42:18You know, it was just funny.
- 42:20You know,
- 42:21you can just look in the comments and
- 42:22see how people reacted and how people was
- 42:24reacting.
- 42:24I just,
- 42:25I knew how it was going to go
- 42:27down because when Angel was involved,
- 42:30I know how that was going to be.
- 42:31But I don't, like you said,
- 42:33don't dap me up.
- 42:35Don't dap me up when it's time on
- 42:36the clock.
- 42:36What did I just say?
- 42:37Triple zeros and I'll come out to shower.
- 42:40Like, depending how bad you whoop my ass,
- 42:42like,
- 42:42I don't want no parts of that shit,
- 42:43so, but I didn't,
- 42:44I just want to know y'all thoughts on
- 42:46it.
- 42:46I didn't want to know,
- 42:47I didn't give a damn if she about
- 42:48to, like, like, people took it.
- 42:51The Dream were on a back-to-back.
- 42:53Yeah, so it was like... Yeah,
- 42:54because I think they said that was their
- 42:55sixth game in like ten days or something
- 42:58like that.
- 42:58Yeah, it is what it is.
- 42:59Like, you go from the... The prior legs,
- 43:00we get that.
- 43:01We get that.
- 43:01Yeah, we definitely get it.
- 43:02You got back-to-back games against a team
- 43:04like the Valkyries at their crib.
- 43:07Oh, my God.
- 43:08And then you got to go to Seattle
- 43:09and play...
- 43:10But can we talk about,
- 43:11let's just give Seattle their flowers for
- 43:13a second.
- 43:14They're not good.
- 43:15But listen,
- 43:18they're going to upset some teams.
- 43:19If they can sneak in, I feel like,
- 43:23in my opinion,
- 43:24their rebuild is a little bit ahead of
- 43:27schedule.
- 43:27Because Flage is playing great.
- 43:30The front court, Dom and I were like,
- 43:33listen.
- 43:34The foundational pieces are in Seattle.
- 43:37Like they are going to be a very
- 43:39good team and it's not going to take
- 43:42them a long time to be in conversations
- 43:44of being contenders because quiet as it's
- 43:46kept Dom is coming, bro.
- 43:49Like the game is slowing down for her.
- 43:51This is only year two.
- 43:53Awa looks great as well.
- 43:54And so the, and you know, again,
- 43:57I think they should have moved Ezi.
- 43:58So we'll see what she does when she
- 43:59comes back.
- 44:00But with that three,
- 44:02that young core with those three,
- 44:04and then again, Stubba too, Natasha,
- 44:07like I didn't necessarily love the signing
- 44:10of her coming there, but damn it.
- 44:11I like it now because she's been great
- 44:13for them.
- 44:14Like she's been great for that young team.
- 44:16I was going to ask you this too.
- 44:17This was like,
- 44:18I didn't put it in the added to
- 44:19the rundown,
- 44:19but I was going to ask you and
- 44:21while you can definitely chime in too,
- 44:22but I was like, this is second,
- 44:25this second month of the season ends
- 44:26today.
- 44:27And I was going to ask y'all like,
- 44:29I sound like the top teams.
- 44:30We know, you know, Seattle, not Seattle.
- 44:31We know like Vegas and Minnesota teams
- 44:34like that's going to be fun to watch
- 44:35Atlanta.
- 44:36But like what teams you like to watch,
- 44:38what teams you think is up and coming?
- 44:40I see you're really high on Seattle.
- 44:42Yeah.
- 44:43And I see people in the chat asking
- 44:45about who has a bright future.
- 44:49Who has a brighter future?
- 44:50Mystics or Storm.
- 44:52That's a good question.
- 44:53It is.
- 44:54I'm going Storm.
- 44:55Because I think Dominique Malanga has the
- 45:00potential to be a generational player.
- 45:02And I've said that before.
- 45:04She has the tools.
- 45:04It's up to her.
- 45:05So I think when you have anyone that
- 45:07is that caliber of a player,
- 45:09like we're going to look back on the
- 45:10draft.
- 45:10We're going to look back on these last
- 45:11two drafts and say,
- 45:14who was the best player out of this
- 45:16draft?
- 45:16You know what I'm saying?
- 45:17And I think,
- 45:18I think that I'm going Seattle and I
- 45:21love Kiki.
- 45:21I love, I love Sonya.
- 45:23I think Sonya is an absolute superstar.
- 45:25Like,
- 45:25I think she's the absolute superstar.
- 45:27I think the mystics were looking for once
- 45:30they traded away, Brittany Sykes,
- 45:32I think the missus were looking for like
- 45:33that go-to player and that go-to player
- 45:35down with Sonya, like that,
- 45:37that's her role.
- 45:38Like Sonya is a dog on both ends
- 45:39of the floor.
- 45:40And we knew that.
- 45:40If I had to tip my hat to
- 45:41Seattle, man, I just do because...
- 45:46That front court,
- 45:47the length of that front court and the
- 45:49versatility of those young players, like,
- 45:51this is the worst they're going to be.
- 45:53Like, you know.
- 45:56So, yeah, I'm going Seattle.
- 45:58It's tough, though.
- 45:58That's a good question, Jeremy.
- 45:59You're going Seattle.
- 46:02What y'all going?
- 46:02Where y'all going?
- 46:05I like the Mystic squad.
- 46:07Yeah.
- 46:08I love that squad.
- 46:10Just, they're very fun.
- 46:11They're very competitive.
- 46:13The Seattle squad, as of late,
- 46:17Even in the midst of that eleven game
- 46:19losing streak, like you saw,
- 46:21you could see that they were slowly
- 46:25getting it together,
- 46:27especially with their front court.
- 46:30And I, yeah,
- 46:35I could give the edge to Seattle until
- 46:39Washington finds them a point guard.
- 46:42That's a fact.
- 46:43That's the thing about Washington.
- 46:44The thing about Washington is, like,
- 46:47I wish they did some goofy stuff in
- 46:50the draft,
- 46:50and we on record talking about that.
- 46:52But I also wish they didn't even match
- 46:54Shakira Austin's contract with the tempo.
- 46:58I think that messes up with, like,
- 47:00the timeline and what you expect.
- 47:03I think it takes away from someone like
- 47:07Lauren Betts.
- 47:08Like, she fell into your lap, and, like,
- 47:11you didn't even have to go.
- 47:13You didn't have to go sign a match
- 47:15of Shakira or Austin whatsoever.
- 47:16You could just stick with that core.
- 47:19And then you got Georgia.
- 47:22Then you got... Rory.
- 47:24That's not playing.
- 47:26That's not playing.
- 47:27Like, you got all these...
- 47:28Then you also... Who else did you pick?
- 47:30Cody.
- 47:31You got Cody.
- 47:31I feel like you just...
- 47:33Cody's actually been doing better than
- 47:35Georgia and Rory.
- 47:36No, I will.
- 47:37I will.
- 47:38I will give you that.
- 47:39I will give you that.
- 47:40She has been like,
- 47:41you're not expecting to score a bunch of
- 47:43points when you got players like Sonia and
- 47:45Kiki out there.
- 47:46And, um, Michaela, what's her name?
- 47:48Right.
- 47:48Michaela.
- 47:50Yeah.
- 47:51Yeah.
- 47:51She hooping.
- 47:51She,
- 47:52averaging about twelve a game and I know
- 47:54Shakira is still averaging thirteen points
- 47:56whatever a game but I feel like he
- 47:58didn't have to sign her but it is
- 47:59what it is with that but like y'all
- 48:01said they need a point guard in the
- 48:03worst way yeah like they need a point
- 48:05guard in the worst way they should've got
- 48:07Raven I'm not gonna lie man they should've
- 48:09got Raven Raven would've been perfect for
- 48:11the Mystics
- 48:16Can run your offense.
- 48:19Make sure everybody gets set.
- 48:21Go and play defense.
- 48:22Like, it was there.
- 48:25Look,
- 48:25y'all love to throw – Y'all love Deji.
- 48:27Hold on, hold on, hold on.
- 48:29Before we go,
- 48:29I'm going to go to Jeremy's question real
- 48:31quick because he said – Hold on.
- 48:33Do you guys think Sidney Johnson is the
- 48:35right coach for them to become a
- 48:37contender?
- 48:38No.
- 48:39You know, he could be one.
- 48:39You know how sometimes teams have that
- 48:41coach that can get them to a point,
- 48:43then it's time to move on.
- 48:45Yep.
- 48:45Because he can't get to that.
- 48:46I think that's what he is.
- 48:47I think that's what he's going to be.
- 48:49He's going to develop these girls.
- 48:52into what they need to be,
- 48:53and then they're going to get the right
- 48:54coach.
- 48:55Oh, so he's Mark Jackson.
- 48:56Yeah, maybe, like, they're going to get,
- 48:59like, go get Tolliver.
- 49:03Bring her, be the coach, head coach,
- 49:04some shit like that.
- 49:05I can see something like that happening.
- 49:06You familiar with the city?
- 49:08Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
- 49:09So maybe something like that.
- 49:10I don't love her at all,
- 49:12but I'm that much.
- 49:14Yeah, you that much over him.
- 49:14I think the issue is,
- 49:17I think that gave Sidney Johnson a little
- 49:19bit too much power because they have him
- 49:21making the decisions in the front office
- 49:25as well.
- 49:25They fired their GM right before the
- 49:27draft, which was idiotic,
- 49:28especially because that GM is actually
- 49:30what helped them get this young core.
- 49:32But that's another story for another day.
- 49:36I don't know.
- 49:36I just don't.
- 49:37It's certain rotations that I don't love
- 49:38from him.
- 49:40The fact that they and again,
- 49:41this is not disrespectful to Rory Harmon.
- 49:46I think that she's a warrior at her
- 49:47size.
- 49:48I think that, you know,
- 49:49she plays with a lot of guts and
- 49:51all that stuff.
- 49:52But I just don't understand the pick.
- 49:54And I still don't.
- 49:55The Georgia Amor pick.
- 49:56I still listen.
- 49:57I remember we were on playback and I
- 49:58was sick.
- 50:01Sick.
- 50:02And it's no disrespect to her,
- 50:03but if we're keeping it a buck,
- 50:05she was overrated at Kentucky, too.
- 50:09But people don't want to have that
- 50:12conversation.
- 50:12It is what it is.
- 50:13Hey, man,
- 50:14people don't rely on my short guards.
- 50:15I'll be trying to... If you a tweener,
- 50:16you ain't doing nothing spectacular.
- 50:18You have to be spectacular.
- 50:20Like, spectacular.
- 50:21Like a Hannah Hildago.
- 50:23Like...
- 50:24Somehow Hannah's going to make it work in
- 50:25the WNBA.
- 50:26Even though she's only five, six,
- 50:28whatever the hell she is,
- 50:29she's going to make it work just because
- 50:31she's that special.
- 50:33And you have to be that special,
- 50:34especially because now guards are,
- 50:38you know,
- 50:39you're looking at someone like Paige
- 50:40that's six, one, six, two.
- 50:42You're looking at Juju, that's six, one,
- 50:43six, two.
- 50:44Flage, that's five, eleven to six, one,
- 50:46because when she's standing next to Paige
- 50:48and Juju, she looked the same size.
- 50:50So Flage got to be five,
- 50:52eleven to six, one,
- 50:52somewhere in that range.
- 50:55But yeah,
- 50:55you're looking at guards that are over six
- 50:56feet.
- 50:57Now the game has evolved where you don't
- 50:59see small guards anymore,
- 51:00like a Shannon Bobbitt or a
- 51:04you know, a Tamika Johnson,
- 51:06like you don't see cards like that
- 51:07anymore.
- 51:07And if you do,
- 51:09you have to be very, very special.
- 51:10So for example, like a Kelsey Mitchell,
- 51:13who's probably five,
- 51:14seven at best with shoes on, you know,
- 51:18she's spectacular.
- 51:19Like she's great offensively.
- 51:21So she can, you know what I'm saying?
- 51:22Like she can play in the WNBA,
- 51:24but you have to literally be extremely
- 51:26special in order to stick in this league.
- 51:29How tall is Jordy Canada?
- 51:31She got to be five, six, five, seven.
- 51:33Yeah.
- 51:33So you got to be like,
- 51:34she's a dog on defense.
- 51:35Both sides though, right?
- 51:36Yeah.
- 51:37Yeah.
- 51:38Right.
- 51:38Yeah.
- 51:38She can score.
- 51:39So you got to do something like players
- 51:41like Georgia and Haley.
- 51:46Like,
- 51:47That shit is not going to translate if
- 51:49you're not really just spectacular on
- 51:51offense.
- 51:52Like,
- 51:52you can't be okay on offense and then
- 51:54ass on defense as a short guard.
- 51:55That's just not going to get it done.
- 51:57It's just not.
- 51:57Also, my thing is for the Mystics, shit,
- 52:01you might as well give Rory a try.
- 52:03I mean, shit,
- 52:04it can't be no worse than damn Georgia.
- 52:06It can't be.
- 52:08I'm just being real, man.
- 52:10No, facts.
- 52:11No, I'm with you on that.
- 52:12I'm with you on that.
- 52:13I just hate seeing the fact that she
- 52:15gets DNPs when,
- 52:17Georgia's out there just doing whatever
- 52:20the fuck and turning the fucking ball over
- 52:22five, six times a game.
- 52:23I told people, people was like,
- 52:25just wait until she come back.
- 52:26What I'm waiting for?
- 52:27I'm still waiting, baby.
- 52:27Yeah.
- 52:30I knew it as soon as they picked
- 52:31her.
- 52:31And again, this is not disrespect to her.
- 52:33Like,
- 52:33she could probably have a great career
- 52:34overseas or in Project B or somewhere
- 52:37else.
- 52:37But in the WNBA...
- 52:39I don't know.
- 52:40Hopefully she proves me wrong, though.
- 52:41I want to see the home team do
- 52:42well.
- 52:43And I get it, like,
- 52:44with the ACL and shit like that.
- 52:46It's going to take time, right?
- 52:47It's going to take time,
- 52:49but you know what you know.
- 52:51And that's the thing where people are
- 52:52talking about with, like,
- 52:53scouting and the W. Like,
- 52:54people just be picking whatever.
- 52:56J-Lens.
- 52:57What'd he say?
- 52:59You got three points in the quadruple
- 53:01overtime game.
- 53:02That's true.
- 53:04AJ Lins and starting, though.
- 53:06Yeah, starting.
- 53:07I mean, Shakira had nine points.
- 53:10Right.
- 53:10She wasn't great either, to be honest.
- 53:12She had some big box stuff.
- 53:14She had some big box stuff.
- 53:14And she had some rebounds.
- 53:15She had a third team rebound.
- 53:17We might as well talk about it.
- 53:18Go ahead, Jay.
- 53:18Might as well talk about it.
- 53:20Yeah, who they play in that?
- 53:22They play the Fire, right?
- 53:24Fire.
- 53:24What was the final score for that shit?
- 53:26I don't even remember what the – Hold
- 53:27on.
- 53:27One, one, one, twenty-four.
- 53:28One, twenty-four, one, twenty-three.
- 53:29Hey, man.
- 53:31It was like – it was like I
- 53:33saw the first overtime –
- 53:35Then I'm like, damn,
- 53:36it's another overtime.
- 53:37And then I forgot to go – I
- 53:38don't know what I was watching.
- 53:40I forgot to go back to it.
- 53:41And y'all was like,
- 53:42they're the fourth overtime.
- 53:43I'm like, fourth?
- 53:45What the hell is going on?
- 53:46Like, yo,
- 53:48it's – and that's my thing about it.
- 53:50It's some really good, like,
- 53:51teams to watch out here.
- 53:54But the Mystics –
- 53:57And the Fire is a good team as
- 53:59well.
- 53:59That's another good damn team.
- 54:01Young team, yep.
- 54:02Another good young team that you can check
- 54:04out and watch out here that you don't
- 54:06always have to watch the, you know,
- 54:08the big-name team.
- 54:10I'm trying to find a box score for
- 54:11that game.
- 54:13You got a box score up?
- 54:14I got you.
- 54:15I don't have a box score,
- 54:16but I got some points.
- 54:18So, to me, what stood out,
- 54:20can we talk about Carla late?
- 54:22Oh, my gosh.
- 54:23That girl.
- 54:23Yeah.
- 54:25and it's not just this game no it's
- 54:27not no and not only can she score
- 54:30the ball but she can also pass that
- 54:34bitch she can she can just flat out
- 54:35play basketball like we should be
- 54:37concerned as americans coming into the
- 54:40olympic games because for real these over
- 54:43the water players these overseas players
- 54:46have been cooking bro no they have
- 54:48literally been cooking
- 54:49Like they have, they have been cooking.
- 54:51And so her ability to make tough shots,
- 54:54her ability to get her,
- 54:55her teammates involved.
- 54:58I'm looking here and she had,
- 54:59I think she had like thirty two.
- 55:02Thirty two.
- 55:04Thirty two six rebounds, nine assists.
- 55:05Nine assists.
- 55:05I'm like, bruh.
- 55:07Thirty-two points, nine assists,
- 55:08and six rebounds.
- 55:09I just really like her game.
- 55:11Now, I'm not going to lie to y'all.
- 55:12That last shot before the overtime was
- 55:16luck, okay?
- 55:17It was definitely luck.
- 55:18The three-pointer to – because Flores
- 55:21missed a free throw.
- 55:23Carla came down the three pointer to make
- 55:25them go into overtime.
- 55:26She was literally like falling,
- 55:27kind of fading away, I should say.
- 55:30And then it, you know,
- 55:32hit the backboard and went in.
- 55:33But she also made another shot,
- 55:35another three pointer over Shakira Austin
- 55:37that sent them into the third overtime.
- 55:38So it's a great game by her.
- 55:41She's going to be a really good player.
- 55:43And I like what the coach out there
- 55:46in Portland is doing,
- 55:47because a lot of these players on this
- 55:49team aren't like big name players that we
- 55:52know, like all star players.
- 55:53No,
- 55:54but they still compete like they're a
- 55:56young team that's going to play hard for
- 55:57forty minutes and shit for however long
- 55:59they played this game over almost an hour.
- 56:02But they're just going to compete the
- 56:03whole time.
- 56:04And so, yeah.
- 56:07I really like their game.
- 56:07And again, on the Mystics side,
- 56:10Mikayla really stood out to me.
- 56:11I know Sonia played great.
- 56:13She had thirty two points as well in
- 56:15the evening,
- 56:15fourteen in the fourth quarter to help the
- 56:18Mystics come back and even push it to
- 56:19overtime.
- 56:20But like Mikayla, since her injury,
- 56:22She's been she's been very good.
- 56:25She scored thirty points and she even hit
- 56:28some big time shots like when the game
- 56:30was on the line.
- 56:31And overall,
- 56:32I think the Mystics like during this time,
- 56:35they have really shown me a lot of
- 56:38resiliency because out of the seventeen
- 56:40games.
- 56:41Nine of those games so far this season
- 56:44have been decided by single digits.
- 56:46So they're starting to build their
- 56:48resiliency and trying to close out games.
- 56:50They were relentlessly attacking the
- 56:52paint.
- 56:52That was something big that I saw after
- 56:54halftime.
- 56:55They had thirty one free throws compared
- 56:57to Portland, seven free throws.
- 56:59And I think another big thing was just
- 57:00their defensive presence.
- 57:02Like even though they were fatigued,
- 57:04they were forced in Portland to take tough
- 57:05shots.
- 57:06And from a Portland side,
- 57:07I think what I admire most about them
- 57:09was just their ball movement.
- 57:10Like they're excellent with ball movement.
- 57:12Like they know how to get two feet
- 57:14in the paint and pass it out to
- 57:16the open shooters.
- 57:17And they were knocking the shots down.
- 57:19And I like how they get out into
- 57:20transition and just makes it easy for
- 57:22them.
- 57:22And what I will say in a lot
- 57:24of those moments,
- 57:25where the quarters were kind of ending and
- 57:27the overtime periods were kind of ending,
- 57:29you thought that the Mid-Six were kind of
- 57:30running away with it.
- 57:32And every time the Mid-Six kind of went
- 57:33on the run and you thought it was
- 57:34over, like Portland had an answer for it.
- 57:36So you got to respect that.
- 57:37It was a great game.
- 57:40You definitely got to respect them.
- 57:42I saw somebody in the chat bring up
- 57:43the tempo.
- 57:44Tempo was like,
- 57:45that's one of my favorite teams to watch.
- 57:49I was definitely curious how this was
- 57:51going to work with the coach.
- 57:55I always forget her name.
- 57:56Sandy.
- 57:57They got Sandy and then Slim and then...
- 58:03What the fuck is her name?
- 58:04Marina.
- 58:05There we go.
- 58:06Miranda's scoring.
- 58:07Fifty-three points.
- 58:07God, Lee.
- 58:08Fifty-three points.
- 58:10That's another team,
- 58:12and they're not even healthy right now.
- 58:13They're missing Kiki Rice,
- 58:15and I think somebody else got hurt.
- 58:16Who started off great this season,
- 58:18by the way.
- 58:18Yeah, started off really good.
- 58:20Started off really good,
- 58:22but it's been a lot of good basketball
- 58:25in these first two months that outside of
- 58:28the top teams,
- 58:30even the bottom feeder's been fun.
- 58:31The Sky, they've been actually,
- 58:34outside of the couple of them blowout,
- 58:35they've been kind of fun to watch as
- 58:36well.
- 58:37We're going to have a conversation about
- 58:39Skyler soon.
- 58:41want to have right now i gotta look
- 58:44at the numbers a little bit more before
- 58:46i go in the way before i go
- 58:47in the way that i want to go
- 58:49in i gotta i gotta look at the
- 58:50numbers a little bit more before i go
- 58:52in the way i want to go in
- 58:53because baby that off-court life is yes in
- 58:57the game yes a lot of people saying
- 58:58that off-court stuff is really taking a
- 59:01toll on it you know it should happen
- 59:02i understand i mean if you done seen
- 59:05his instagram you would understand too
- 59:07Yeah, like, you know, divorce, all that.
- 59:12Why should we talk about Tyler Marsh?
- 59:13I love when people say this.
- 59:15Me too.
- 59:16Because if you want to talk about Tyler
- 59:17Marsh,
- 59:17let's talk about how Camilla has developed
- 59:20within the last two weeks,
- 59:21how she looks within the last week and
- 59:22a half.
- 59:23Nobody wants to talk about that.
- 59:28I think y'all damn sure was on,
- 59:30y'all was on her head about a month
- 59:31ago.
- 59:31Yep.
- 59:33Silent when she went thirteen for
- 59:34thirteen.
- 59:35But that don't got nothing to do with
- 59:37Tyler Marsh or the Sky helping developer.
- 59:39I forgot.
- 59:40My bad.
- 59:40We can only say only the bad stuff
- 59:43is, you know, credited to Tyler and them.
- 59:45Like Camilla's looking great right now.
- 59:48Like they have injuries.
- 59:50They just got slew back.
- 59:52Um, you know, right.
- 59:56Has she even started like, hell no.
- 59:59I don't know a damn thing.
- 1:00:01So she had to be looking pretty and
- 1:00:03shit.
- 1:00:04Hello.
- 1:00:07And it was outside.
- 1:00:09They was outside this week on the water.
- 1:00:14We cheer out here.
- 1:00:18Listen,
- 1:00:19so I don't want to hear nobody complain
- 1:00:21about Tyler Marsh and two folks start
- 1:00:24talking about Lynn Roberts over in LA.
- 1:00:26I don't want to hear it,
- 1:00:27to be honest.
- 1:00:29Because somehow she never gets blamed.
- 1:00:35You have multiple Olympians on your team,
- 1:00:37sister.
- 1:00:38She'll never get blamed.
- 1:00:39She never gets blamed.
- 1:00:41But somehow Tyler,
- 1:00:43who's had two shitty hands at
- 1:00:47roster construction literally gets blamed.
- 1:00:50Like, come on, y'all.
- 1:00:52We got to use our brains a little
- 1:00:52bit more.
- 1:00:54Not saying that it's any of y'all in
- 1:00:56here, but just in general.
- 1:00:57Yeah, all that slew talk all offseason,
- 1:01:00and she made a difference.
- 1:01:01Hey,
- 1:01:02she definitely had the offense flowing.
- 1:01:03I'm not going to hold you.
- 1:01:04A pure point guard.
- 1:01:05One of the best the game has seen.
- 1:01:08Yeah, you can put her at the one,
- 1:01:10and then you can have Skyler play off
- 1:01:12ball some more.
- 1:01:13Like, you know, it works.
- 1:01:15And then you got Sidney.
- 1:01:16Because a lot of those games,
- 1:01:17a lot of the games they lost after
- 1:01:19Rakia went down,
- 1:01:21they had a chance to win,
- 1:01:22but they had nobody go get a bucket.
- 1:01:24So now...
- 1:01:25You know,
- 1:01:26you can figure out some things where you
- 1:01:27got Sidney, man.
- 1:01:28She can hoop.
- 1:01:29God bless Sidney.
- 1:01:33Everything that's gone wrong with the sky
- 1:01:34so far this season.
- 1:01:37One of the major bright spots.
- 1:01:39is Sydney Taylor.
- 1:01:40That kid can hoop, bro.
- 1:01:44She is, to be honest with Rekia Hurt,
- 1:01:47she is the Sky's best offensive player in
- 1:01:50terms of being able to go out there
- 1:01:51and get her own.
- 1:01:52You know what I'm saying?
- 1:01:55And so because of Rekia's unfortunate
- 1:01:57injury, now she'll be able to get...
- 1:02:00Sydney will be able to get big minutes
- 1:02:02throughout the entire year,
- 1:02:03and it's going to help so much with
- 1:02:04her development moving forward.
- 1:02:06And so...
- 1:02:07If the Sky, like,
- 1:02:09one thing that they can be happy about
- 1:02:11this season is them finding Sydney Taylor,
- 1:02:14and she is going to go with that
- 1:02:15young core for years to come.
- 1:02:16It's going to be her.
- 1:02:18I remember Kia gets back, Camilla,
- 1:02:20and even Jaquez, you know?
- 1:02:22Yep, absolutely.
- 1:02:24Yep.
- 1:02:24I think the only, low-key,
- 1:02:26I think the only team,
- 1:02:28the two teams I don't really like
- 1:02:30watching, it might be three.
- 1:02:32I don't like watching Connecticut
- 1:02:34whatsoever.
- 1:02:35I don't watch them.
- 1:02:36Like, I don't like watching them.
- 1:02:39Oh, yeah, she is good.
- 1:02:40As I said, Kulibaly.
- 1:02:42I like watching.
- 1:02:43She's good.
- 1:02:43I don't like watching Connecticut.
- 1:02:45I don't like watching the Sparks because
- 1:02:49they just.
- 1:02:50I can tolerate them, but I get it.
- 1:02:53Like, if that's the only game on,
- 1:02:54I'll watch.
- 1:02:55Yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:56There you go.
- 1:02:57That's it.
- 1:02:57If they're the only game on, I'll watch.
- 1:02:59But I'm not like, oh,
- 1:03:00the Sparks come on at eight.
- 1:03:01I ain't doing that.
- 1:03:02Yeah.
- 1:03:03Phoenix, that's another team like.
- 1:03:05Yeah, dog.
- 1:03:08God bless.
- 1:03:09Yeah, I'm not.
- 1:03:10But everybody else I watch.
- 1:03:13They got to be the only team in
- 1:03:14that slot.
- 1:03:14Mm-hmm.
- 1:03:16Like, pretty much I watch it,
- 1:03:17but it's been good basketball.
- 1:03:18I've been enjoying these first two months,
- 1:03:20honestly.
- 1:03:20I agree.
- 1:03:22Outside of the extra BS that's been going
- 1:03:23on the timeline, you know,
- 1:03:26but I've been agreeing.
- 1:03:27And I saw somebody say Steph White got
- 1:03:30more smoke than Lynn Robbins.
- 1:03:32Listen,
- 1:03:33Beaver fans do not like Stephanie White.
- 1:03:35And she's not a bad coach.
- 1:03:37That's the funniest part about it.
- 1:03:38She's not a bad coach.
- 1:03:40She's not.
- 1:03:41But let them tell it.
- 1:03:41So who do they want, though?
- 1:03:43That's my thing.
- 1:03:43Because they didn't like,
- 1:03:44what's the lady they had before her?
- 1:03:46Why am I drawing a blank on her
- 1:03:49name?
- 1:03:50I forgot her name, too.
- 1:03:51But they definitely didn't like her.
- 1:03:52They hated her.
- 1:03:54And they were hyped to get Steph White.
- 1:03:55And now y'all hate her, too.
- 1:03:56So I'm just confused on who they want.
- 1:03:59They say she don't use Kaylin Wright.
- 1:04:01And how is that?
- 1:04:02I'm about to tell you.
- 1:04:02I'm talking to you.
- 1:04:05I don't know.
- 1:04:08Ever since she held her accountable in
- 1:04:11public about the defense,
- 1:04:12they don't want her there no more.
- 1:04:13Amanda.
- 1:04:18I see Amanda.
- 1:04:19They literally go on the floor and play
- 1:04:21without a plan whatsoever.
- 1:04:23Please.
- 1:04:24Oh, no.
- 1:04:24Kayla going to be shooting that bitch in
- 1:04:30the parking lot.
- 1:04:30Lisa, come here.
- 1:04:31Yeah.
- 1:04:32Oh, I think BB is responding to Amanda.
- 1:04:34What's going on with Phoenix?
- 1:04:35She is... I can't say old, but... Old?
- 1:04:44I think it's a number of things.
- 1:04:45I think they're injured.
- 1:04:46Yeah.
- 1:04:49The West Belt lady is out.
- 1:04:53Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:05:09If you think about it,
- 1:05:10even though Thomas Christie size,
- 1:05:12that's her name.
- 1:05:13Yep.
- 1:05:13Even though Alyssa Thomas is very skilled
- 1:05:16and has been in a lot of conversations
- 1:05:20for MVP, not this year, but you know,
- 1:05:22prior years, she's not a,
- 1:05:24she's an initiator, right?
- 1:05:25She gets the offense organized.
- 1:05:27She's not a scorer.
- 1:05:28She's not going to take you off the
- 1:05:31dribble and create her own.
- 1:05:34Right.
- 1:05:34So the only person that they really have
- 1:05:36to create their own shot is Kyle and
- 1:05:38she's inconsistent, right?
- 1:05:39So when Satu was there last year, again,
- 1:05:42Satu averaged seventeen and nine boards.
- 1:05:44One thing we know Satu going to do
- 1:05:45is put that bitch up.
- 1:05:47So they don't have anyone.
- 1:05:49They didn't replace her with anyone that
- 1:05:51is going to look for their shot.
- 1:05:53And I think that's where their offense is
- 1:05:55so stagnant.
- 1:05:57Their shooting percentages are down.
- 1:05:59Like they just didn't they didn't
- 1:06:01restructure the or they didn't restructure
- 1:06:04the roster.
- 1:06:05Well, in my opinion.
- 1:06:06not at all i had no idea she
- 1:06:08left for russia yeah i missed that god
- 1:06:12damn she said i'm out literally i that's
- 1:06:16crazy she got like literally she was like
- 1:06:18i'm not coming what did she say she's
- 1:06:20not coming back into twenty twenty seven
- 1:06:21or something like that yo and she was
- 1:06:23hooping she was hooping she was hooping
- 1:06:26boy i guess she said look we need
- 1:06:28we ain't making the playoffs like it
- 1:06:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:06:32But, yeah, outside of that, man,
- 1:06:35anything else from the first couple months
- 1:06:37for y'all?
- 1:06:37I think it's been...
- 1:06:42I just had some little bit of tidbits
- 1:06:44on that quadruple overtime game real
- 1:06:47quick.
- 1:06:50Eight players played at least forty-five
- 1:06:52minutes and above in that game.
- 1:06:55Bridget Carlson, Mama Meg,
- 1:06:59Sarah Ashley Barker,
- 1:07:00Carla, Mikayla, Kiki, Shakira, and Sonya.
- 1:07:06Again, Shakira,
- 1:07:07you played all them damn minutes and only
- 1:07:08had nine points and thirteen rebounds.
- 1:07:10I'm kind of pissed off about that.
- 1:07:14Also, Washington has both record,
- 1:07:18you know,
- 1:07:18holds the record for both games that went
- 1:07:23into quadruple overtime.
- 1:07:25And they produced two hundred forty seven
- 1:07:28combined points.
- 1:07:29and this is the highest in WNBA history.
- 1:07:34Okay.
- 1:07:35Shit.
- 1:07:36Shout out to them.
- 1:07:38Hey, you know,
- 1:07:39I had to do my research, though.
- 1:07:41Before we go to the best fit check,
- 1:07:46shout out to the Women's Basketball Hall
- 1:07:50of Fame this weekend, inducting, you know,
- 1:07:53Sheree, Doris Burke, Candice Parker.
- 1:07:56Yeah.
- 1:07:58Who else was I missing?
- 1:08:01Somebody.
- 1:08:02Sure.
- 1:08:06she introduced candace but she's inducted
- 1:08:08into nate smith in a couple weeks i'm
- 1:08:10missing somebody um oh uh and it's
- 1:08:14somebody very important uh why am i
- 1:08:16drawing a blank candace me and kate i
- 1:08:20literally just talked about it yesterday
- 1:08:21candace
- 1:08:24Coach Reed.
- 1:08:24There we go.
- 1:08:25Elena Deladon.
- 1:08:25Yes.
- 1:08:26Thank you, Jeremy.
- 1:08:27Elena Deladon.
- 1:08:28Man,
- 1:08:30just even preparing for the show yesterday
- 1:08:32and talk about Elena Deladon.
- 1:08:33That shit had me so hyped because Elena
- 1:08:36Deladon is severely underrated.
- 1:08:39Severely.
- 1:08:40When you look at what she was able
- 1:08:42to do in eleven years.
- 1:08:43And I said this on the other podcast.
- 1:08:46I'm going to say it on here.
- 1:08:47If we're talking like if we're solely
- 1:08:51talking skill set,
- 1:08:53Elena Deladon is one of the best players
- 1:08:55I've ever seen play basketball.
- 1:08:56We're solely talking skill set.
- 1:09:00It was no weaknesses in her game at
- 1:09:03all.
- 1:09:04Could shoot the middie,
- 1:09:05could take you off the dribble,
- 1:09:07could handle the ball like she was a
- 1:09:08guard,
- 1:09:08could step back and shoot the three.
- 1:09:10Shot over ninety percent from the free
- 1:09:12throw line.
- 1:09:12Was the first person in WNBA history
- 1:09:14fifty, forty, ninety.
- 1:09:16Like literally in twenty nineteen had
- 1:09:18multiple herniated disc in her back.
- 1:09:22And still played in that finals game to
- 1:09:23help the Mystics win the championship
- 1:09:25against Phoenix.
- 1:09:26And she had like twenty one and nine
- 1:09:28boards, had multiple herniated discs,
- 1:09:30could barely walk initially.
- 1:09:32Like this is someone that had Lyme's
- 1:09:33disease and had to take sixty four pills
- 1:09:35a day in order to play.
- 1:09:37Yep.
- 1:09:39Sixty four pills a day in order to
- 1:09:40play the game of basketball.
- 1:09:42So just imagine the what ifs if she
- 1:09:45never was injured or she didn't have to
- 1:09:47deal with like, you know,
- 1:09:48how terrible of a disease that Lyme
- 1:09:50disease is like just an incredible
- 1:09:52athlete.
- 1:09:54Love how she did it.
- 1:09:55I just want to give her her flowers,
- 1:09:56but love how she did it.
- 1:09:57She didn't go to one of the schools
- 1:09:59that everyone literally went to,
- 1:10:01like a Yukon or Notre Dame or Tennessee
- 1:10:03that was very popular at that time.
- 1:10:05but she chose her own path and stayed
- 1:10:07home and went to Delaware and cooked in
- 1:10:09Delaware.
- 1:10:09You know what I'm saying?
- 1:10:10Cooked.
- 1:10:11Cooked in Delaware.
- 1:10:12And so I just can't say enough positive
- 1:10:14things about her just because, like,
- 1:10:17I always talk about Candace Parker's
- 1:10:19two-thousand-eight year where she won
- 1:10:21back-to-back natties,
- 1:10:23then came into the WNBA and won MVP.
- 1:10:25and ricky of the year and then went
- 1:10:26on to win an olympic gold medal but
- 1:10:29in twenty nineteen elena deladon had a
- 1:10:31hell of a hell of a basketball year
- 1:10:32too she won mvp she went on to
- 1:10:34win the the wmba championship and then she
- 1:10:37went on to win um uh mvp you
- 1:10:40know finals mvp so just wanted to give
- 1:10:42elena deladon um her just do flowers
- 1:10:45just because she's one of the greatest
- 1:10:46ever doing.
- 1:10:47I think that people often forget it.
- 1:10:49And I think one of the reasons is
- 1:10:50because she wasn't very loud either.
- 1:10:53She had a quiet confidence about herself.
- 1:10:55And I feel like sometimes players are
- 1:10:57often overlooked when we're talking about
- 1:10:58the greatest of all time or just players
- 1:11:00in that same category.
- 1:11:02They're often overlooked if they're not
- 1:11:03like,
- 1:11:04you know,
- 1:11:04out there with their personality and just,
- 1:11:06you know, in front of the cameras,
- 1:11:07like she literally did her work and went
- 1:11:10home.
- 1:11:10Like that was, you know, that was,
- 1:11:11that was her job.
- 1:11:12She put her hard hat on,
- 1:11:13did her job and went home.
- 1:11:14Like she wasn't for all the spotlight
- 1:11:16shit.
- 1:11:16She just worked on her game.
- 1:11:18And when we talk about skill for skill,
- 1:11:20it's not a lot of people that can
- 1:11:22say that they were better than her.
- 1:11:24This is just a no question.
- 1:11:26You make a top-twenty-five list.
- 1:11:27Is she in the top-twenty-five?
- 1:11:28She in my top-twenty-five.
- 1:11:30If we're talking about... She's in mine,
- 1:11:32too.
- 1:11:32So my issue is...
- 1:11:33So I guess the issue is when people
- 1:11:36look at her accolades and compare it to
- 1:11:37others, they don't... Like,
- 1:11:39because she only played eleven years...
- 1:11:41Yeah.
- 1:11:42Um...
- 1:11:42Because when you think about it,
- 1:11:43most of the players that we talk about
- 1:11:45are the greatest of all time or in
- 1:11:46that in that range.
- 1:11:48Like Diana played twenty years.
- 1:11:50Sue played nineteen years.
- 1:11:51Candace played sixteen years.
- 1:11:52But they typically play at least fifteen
- 1:11:54years or more.
- 1:11:55So because her time frame was so short
- 1:11:57and I realized this yesterday in multiple
- 1:12:00of those seasons,
- 1:12:00she played less than twenty five games.
- 1:12:03So she was able to accomplish all these
- 1:12:04things in less than twenty five games and
- 1:12:06multiple seasons.
- 1:12:07So my point in saying all that is
- 1:12:09I think that when people look at her
- 1:12:12resume and try to compare to others that
- 1:12:14had longer jeopardy than her,
- 1:12:17I think that's unfair.
- 1:12:18I think you have to look at the
- 1:12:20body of work based on the injury history
- 1:12:23and based on what she was able to
- 1:12:24do in that short period of time.
- 1:12:26Right.
- 1:12:29I'm with you.
- 1:12:30I am with you.
- 1:12:30But look, Maya play a season.
- 1:12:31She's a go to me.
- 1:12:32That's fair.
- 1:12:33But another thing about Maya,
- 1:12:34she didn't have any major injuries
- 1:12:35injured.
- 1:12:36The she didn't have any major injuries
- 1:12:38that sat her out for extended periods of
- 1:12:40time.
- 1:12:40Like Elena Deledon, in my opinion.
- 1:12:43And if you want to go for skill,
- 1:12:44I love Maya.
- 1:12:46We might have to have a conversation.
- 1:12:47I'm not going to hold you.
- 1:12:48If we want skill for like skill set
- 1:12:50for skill set.
- 1:12:53Elena didn't have no weaknesses in her
- 1:12:55game.
- 1:12:56Man,
- 1:12:56and she was hooping like them years she
- 1:12:58was here.
- 1:12:58Oh, my God.
- 1:13:05I said I was so happy when Chicago
- 1:13:07fumbled and gave her to us.
- 1:13:08Just dumb.
- 1:13:08Just dumb.
- 1:13:12Like her twenty fifteen year when she won
- 1:13:14MVP, man, she was going crazy.
- 1:13:15She was hooping, bro.
- 1:13:16She was hooping.
- 1:13:17Oh, my God.
- 1:13:19But yeah, I agree.
- 1:13:20I'm glad I'm glad everybody is.
- 1:13:24I'm glad everybody is appreciative of
- 1:13:26Laina because people will be talking a lot
- 1:13:28about her.
- 1:13:29And she didn't even play in the Wubble,
- 1:13:31as they call it.
- 1:13:32Wubble?
- 1:13:33She didn't even plan that.
- 1:13:35I don't blame her.
- 1:13:36You immune compromised.
- 1:13:38I ain't planning that.
- 1:13:40I wouldn't either.
- 1:13:42Shout out to them.
- 1:13:43Thank you for bringing that shit up.
- 1:13:47EDD definitely needs her shine.
- 1:13:49She definitely does.
- 1:13:50She gets forgotten about a lot.
- 1:13:54Give Asia that word consistently.
- 1:13:56True.
- 1:13:58But in Asia's defense,
- 1:14:00she wasn't in her prime yet.
- 1:14:02But, yes, it's true.
- 1:14:06That's true.
- 1:14:07A lot of these players that we bring
- 1:14:08up, you know, from the past,
- 1:14:10like they're not getting that just due
- 1:14:14from the league, which, again,
- 1:14:16for it to be the third year anniversary,
- 1:14:18like what the hell are we doing?
- 1:14:23You know,
- 1:14:24they should be celebrated so much more.
- 1:14:26I'm so glad you brought this shit up,
- 1:14:27man.
- 1:14:28They should be celebrated so much more.
- 1:14:30Yes.
- 1:14:31I'm so glad you brought this shit up
- 1:14:33because I know we got to get to
- 1:14:33the fit check,
- 1:14:34but this thirtieth anniversary is not
- 1:14:37feeling like an anniversary.
- 1:14:40It's so much from the weak-ass poster they
- 1:14:43put out.
- 1:14:47It's just probably not highlighting
- 1:14:50players.
- 1:14:52Players going to the Hall of Fame this
- 1:14:53weekend.
- 1:14:54I didn't even see that plaster all over
- 1:14:58the place.
- 1:14:58It's just not.
- 1:15:01This is the third anniversary and you're
- 1:15:03doing it like that.
- 1:15:04People didn't even know the third
- 1:15:06anniversary game was even happening.
- 1:15:08You know why it's like this?
- 1:15:12It's like this because independent media
- 1:15:17has been pushed to the side.
- 1:15:19So now storytelling is done by mainstream
- 1:15:21media that doesn't know what's going on,
- 1:15:26that don't know any of the players,
- 1:15:27that can't pronounce their name because
- 1:15:29they don't watch women's basketball.
- 1:15:31So people don't realize that independent
- 1:15:33media were the entities that pushed the
- 1:15:36game forward when nobody was watching,
- 1:15:37the entities that kept the WNBA afloat.
- 1:15:40And now because of people putting
- 1:15:42marketing dollars behind it,
- 1:15:44the WNBA thinks that, oh,
- 1:15:45we're only going to give it to mainstream
- 1:15:47media and look what's happening.
- 1:15:48People don't even know it's the thirtieth
- 1:15:49season of WNBA.
- 1:15:50Like, this should be plastered everywhere.
- 1:15:52Like, literally, like,
- 1:15:53me and K-Dot talked about it.
- 1:15:54Like, they're dropping the ball.
- 1:15:56Like, it should be plastered everywhere.
- 1:15:57Y'all literally had one game and it was
- 1:15:59like, oh, this was the inaugural game.
- 1:16:01Like, that's not enough.
- 1:16:02This league was looking like it was on
- 1:16:04its last leg at one point.
- 1:16:05We need to be celebrating every year and
- 1:16:07especially the thirtieth year.
- 1:16:09They're just dropping the ball,
- 1:16:13to be honest.
- 1:16:14Dropping the ball.
- 1:16:14Like they had like that thirtieth
- 1:16:15anniversary year that dropped,
- 1:16:17which was cool.
- 1:16:19But they had the basketball.
- 1:16:22But it's been it's just been terrible.
- 1:16:24Like it's been just a normal season.
- 1:16:27A normal season.
- 1:16:29A normal season.
- 1:16:31Like, and I hate, and I don't like,
- 1:16:33and I don't like trying to compare.
- 1:16:34Right, that's the bare minimum.
- 1:16:36No patches on jerseys or nothing.
- 1:16:37Nothing.
- 1:16:39Bare minimum.
- 1:16:39Like, I don't like comparing this shit to,
- 1:16:41like, to the NBA and shit like that,
- 1:16:42but it's like,
- 1:16:43when it was the fiftieth anniversary,
- 1:16:46and when it was the seventy-fifth
- 1:16:47anniversary...
- 1:16:49God damn it,
- 1:16:49you knew it was the fifth anniversary and
- 1:16:52the seventh anniversary.
- 1:16:53Like, you knew.
- 1:16:54Like, fifth anniversary,
- 1:16:55they had gold NBA logo on their jerseys
- 1:16:58the whole year.
- 1:16:59Like, they talked about it.
- 1:17:01They had the fifth anniversary logo on the
- 1:17:03courts the whole season.
- 1:17:05Yeah.
- 1:17:06They talked about, like,
- 1:17:07you don't even know this shit.
- 1:17:08You don't even know.
- 1:17:09It's just business as usual.
- 1:17:10And it's unfortunate because this would be
- 1:17:12the perfect time with the new influx of
- 1:17:13CBA money and the new eyes on the
- 1:17:15game and more visibility and viewership.
- 1:17:18This would be the perfect time for them
- 1:17:20to showcase the thirtieth year.
- 1:17:22And literally,
- 1:17:23I think they should overdo it.
- 1:17:24Like,
- 1:17:25I think people should be so sick of
- 1:17:26seeing the thirtieth shit.
- 1:17:27You know what I'm saying?
- 1:17:28And they're just dropping the ball.
- 1:17:30And this is not the first time the
- 1:17:32WNBA has dropped the ball.
- 1:17:33Like, they just...
- 1:17:35They need new leadership,
- 1:17:36starting with the commissioner.
- 1:17:37But that's another story for another day.
- 1:17:40And I'll just leave it like that.
- 1:17:42No, you, you,
- 1:17:43we're going to keep talking about this.
- 1:17:45Like it's, it's, it's looking bad.
- 1:17:47Like it's just, you want to keep,
- 1:17:49you want to build on this momentum.
- 1:17:51You want to build on it.
- 1:17:52No matter how I get it,
- 1:17:53you're going to have bad press regardless.
- 1:17:56You have good press, but it's like,
- 1:17:57you got to build on this and you
- 1:17:58got a third anniversary.
- 1:17:59It's the perfect time.
- 1:18:00Like you said,
- 1:18:01the perfect time you have all this press
- 1:18:03because of the CBA and players getting all
- 1:18:06this money never got before and all this.
- 1:18:08And you don't even, it's just womp womp.
- 1:18:12Like, you don't even – nothing.
- 1:18:14Like I said,
- 1:18:14people didn't even know that was the third
- 1:18:16anniversary game until somebody said it.
- 1:18:18Like,
- 1:18:18you don't even – why do you even
- 1:18:21have it on NBC?
- 1:18:21Like, that's where – like,
- 1:18:24it was just certain things.
- 1:18:25That's where it all started.
- 1:18:26That's where it all started.
- 1:18:28Like, come on, man.
- 1:18:29I'm curious to see what they're going to
- 1:18:30do all start weekend with this third
- 1:18:34anniversary.
- 1:18:34I'm really curious.
- 1:18:35Come on.
- 1:18:37I'm just – all right.
- 1:18:37I won't hold my breath.
- 1:18:38I'm like – I'm holding –
- 1:18:41I'm holding out very little hope.
- 1:18:43Very little.
- 1:18:45Very little.
- 1:18:46I'm going to say it like this.
- 1:18:47I expect the events and parties to do
- 1:18:51more stuff by the third anniversary than
- 1:18:53what the league is going to do that
- 1:18:56weekend.
- 1:18:56That's what I think is going to happen.
- 1:18:58For All-Star, look, for All-Star,
- 1:19:00I've already prepared the others.
- 1:19:05Yeah.
- 1:19:05Oh, my God.
- 1:19:06Kathy don't care about the league,
- 1:19:09but wants to push Clark to be the
- 1:19:11Messiah.
- 1:19:12Yeah, I mean, that's how...
- 1:19:13You can't push... We'll leave it at that.
- 1:19:18That's a fact.
- 1:19:20You can't push somebody who can't walk
- 1:19:22into your bubblegum.
- 1:19:22All right,
- 1:19:23let's go ahead and go to the pitch.
- 1:19:26Come on.
- 1:19:26Let's get
- 1:19:38My bad, that was out of pocket.
- 1:19:40Well, it is what it is.
- 1:19:42It is what it is.
- 1:19:44It is what it is.
- 1:19:46Man.
- 1:19:47All right, off the muscle.
- 1:19:50Got a little sabley.

- 1:20:35Please don't mind me.
- 1:20:37Oh, man.

- 1:20:51Right.
- 1:20:52I had this loaded up for Nick.
- 1:20:54I hate the jacket.
