  Anything else I need to point out?
• 4:54
  I don't think so.
• 4:55
  Y'all got anything?
• 4:56
  How was y'all weekend or week?
• 5:01
  So far.
• 5:01
  It was pretty cool, honestly.
• 5:03
  This weekend was cool.
• 5:04
  I pretty much just chilled in the crib.
• 5:05
  It was probably my first time I've been
• 5:07
  in the crib like this probably from like
• 5:09
  a month ago, probably.
• 5:10
  Because I've been on the go literally for
• 5:12
  the past three weeks,
• 5:13
  like going to Chicago and then being here
• 5:15
  running errands.
• 5:16
  So I got a chance to chill.
• 5:18
  So I'm happy about that.
• 5:19
  Ain't nothing wrong with that.
• 5:20
  Ain't nothing wrong with that at all.
• 5:22
  Wally, how about you, man?
• 5:27
  Your boy constantly breaking down.
• 5:30
  I had to go get a damn.
• 5:33
  So I told you all about my instance
• 5:36
  with my back.
• 5:37
  So I got my injections last week.
• 5:39
  Tell me why I wake up yesterday at
• 5:43
  three a.m.
• 5:44
  and I am in pain from my hip
• 5:48
  down.
• 5:50
  So I had to hit the pain clinic
• 5:51
  up that day and my pain clinic doctor
• 5:56
  told me to come through and I had
• 5:57
  to get a shot yesterday.
• 5:59
  so I can calm that down.
• 6:01
  So I'm good now, but boy,
• 6:04
  I don't know.
• 6:04
  Oh yeah, I know what it was.
• 6:07
  I put together a vinyl holder.
• 6:10
  I bought Erica a bigger vinyl holder.
• 6:13
  So she's sitting at one, what is it,
• 6:15
  one-twenty-one?
• 6:16
  Hundred-twenty-one vinyls.
• 6:18
  So I had to buy her something bigger.
• 6:22
  So I put that together and of course
• 6:24
  being hunched over,
• 6:25
  fucking putting the screws in and stuff.
• 6:27
  That triggered my back.
• 6:29
  But, you know, ice it down,
• 6:33
  heat and pad, we're straight.
• 6:35
  But, yeah, I woke up that morning,
• 6:38
  and I was like, yo,
• 6:39
  what the hell is going on?
• 6:40
  So, of course, got me a shot yesterday.
• 6:45
  I'm good now.
• 6:45
  That's all that matters.
• 6:48
  Boot camp started back yesterday, so...
• 6:51
  That's probably what happened.
• 6:53
  You deal with that boot camp too.
• 6:56
  Boot camp just started yesterday.
• 6:58
  That's why I was like,
• 6:59
  I haven't even done anything.
• 7:01
  I haven't really strenuously worked out.
• 7:04
  The most I've done is run.
• 7:05
  That's it.
• 7:06
  That running boy.
• 7:07
  I actually miss running.
• 7:11
  I love slash hate loaded.
• 7:13
  It should be killing me.
• 7:14
  Right.
• 7:14
  I do, too.
• 7:15
  I have a love-hate relationship.
• 7:17
  Yeah, I can't.
• 7:18
  Sometimes, like, I love it,
• 7:19
  but I be hating it, too.
• 7:20
  Yeah, like, I mean,
• 7:21
  I just like running around.
• 7:23
  I'm not doing no law on this run.
• 7:24
  Them days, that shit's over with.
• 7:25
  Like,
• 7:26
  I'm just going to get on a bike,
• 7:27
  but I'm just, well, y'all know,
• 7:28
  I'm just mad.
• 7:29
  I'm just missed just never just take off
• 7:31
  and run.
• 7:32
  Like, there's none of that shit going on.
• 7:34
  Don't worry.
• 7:34
  You're going to get back there, brother.
• 7:36
  Oh, yeah, I am.
• 7:37
  I am.
• 7:37
  I am.
• 7:37
  I am.
• 7:37
  Oh, also, I got a Duke dog update.
• 7:41
  He is fully home trained.
• 7:44
  He going to piss out and shit outside.
• 7:45
  Yeah.
• 7:49
  Y'all can't tell me shit, man.
• 7:50
  I didn't potty train four boys and a
• 7:52
  puppy.
• 7:53
  Y'all can't.
• 7:57
  You can't tell me a goddamn thing.
• 8:01
  To train four boys and a puppy is
• 8:03
  hilarious.
• 8:04
  You can't tell me shit.
• 8:06
  But let's get into this show.
• 8:08
  Before we get into our conversations,
• 8:12
  our brother Wiley,
• 8:14
  we got a topic we're going to talk
• 8:17
  about real quick.
• 8:18
  He got to get some shit off his
• 8:19
  chest.
• 8:20
  One moment, y'all.
• 8:23
  Oh, Lord.
• 8:25
  Oh, shit.
• 8:27
  It's that time.
• 8:33
  I'm just being extra.
• 8:35
  So, of course,
• 8:36
  y'all know the news that has taken over
• 8:40
  the WNBA.
• 8:42
  It's the whole trends, the so-called.
• 8:47
  We're going to throw air quotes in this.
• 8:49
  Yeah.
• 8:51
  the transgender issue,
• 8:55
  that's pretty much a made up issue if
• 8:59
  you're tracking and following along.
• 9:03
  So we have two dumbasses that decided they
• 9:07
  wanted to be,
• 9:13
  we'll call it the spectacle of this whole
• 9:17
  bullshit that we got going on here.
• 9:22
  I'm not calling this nigga Enos Freedom.
• 9:28
  Your name is Cantor.
• 9:30
  Your mama name you Cantor,
• 9:32
  I'm going to call you Cantor.
• 9:33
  Enos Cantor.
• 9:33
  That's it.
• 9:36
  You pull up in a WNBA hoodie with
• 9:40
  the Nike check crossed out because you
• 9:44
  still on your bullshit with Nike and that
• 9:46
  whole debacle that you tried to run game
• 9:50
  and it didn't work.
• 9:52
  um so you call yourself entering the
• 9:57
  putting your your name in for the uh
• 10:01
  wmba draft for next year saying that
• 10:04
  you're you're trans or at least you're
• 10:08
  you're uh supposedly trans you you a whole
• 10:11
  ass dude shut up you and and and
• 10:18
  Royce White, which first of all,
• 10:19
  I don't even know.
• 10:20
  Nick, why are you here?
• 10:22
  You know they still have to get on
• 10:25
  airplanes, right?
• 10:26
  Right.
• 10:26
  That's what I thought when I saw that.
• 10:27
  He don't like planes.
• 10:30
  And then you lose today in the state
• 10:40
  of Minnesota.
• 10:40
  You losing that today.
• 10:45
  Damn, who did he lose to?
• 10:46
  She used to work at ESPN.
• 10:49
  Fuck.
• 10:49
  I don't know.
• 10:54
  Michelle Tafoya.
• 10:57
  He lost to Michelle Tafoya,
• 10:59
  former ESPN analyst.
• 11:02
  Where were they competing at?
• 11:09
  For the Minnesota seat for Minnesota.
• 11:14
  Oh, okay.
• 11:15
  It's political.
• 11:15
  Okay.
• 11:16
  Yeah.
• 11:16
  Political.
• 11:17
  Political.
• 11:17
  Yeah.
• 11:22
  And Jay, Jay lens, you,
• 11:24
  you spot on dog.
• 11:25
  You for Roy's white,
• 11:27
  you can't see your wife,
• 11:28
  your ex wife or kids for the next
• 11:30
  five years.
• 11:30
  So why, again, why are you here?
• 11:34
  This is crazy.
• 11:36
  Oh no, I do.
• 11:37
  Yeah.
• 11:38
  I've known, I knew about all this shit.
• 11:40
  That's why I was like, dog,
• 11:41
  why are y'all here?
• 11:43
  but again all of this is all of
• 11:47
  this if you are reading between the lines
• 11:53
  which majority of the motherfuckers are
• 11:55
  not because y'all are a part of said
• 11:59
  y'all are a part of said group that
• 12:02
  I would not name on the show y'all
• 12:05
  are a part of said group that is
• 12:08
  championing this bullshit and the thing is
• 12:13
  All of this is a cover up for
• 12:16
  the Epstein files.
• 12:18
  It's a cover up and a distraction for
• 12:20
  the midterms.
• 12:21
  So y'all please go and vote in y'all
• 12:24
  midterm.
• 12:25
  All of this shit is a distraction.
• 12:26
  None of this shit.
• 12:27
  All of this is bullshit.
• 12:29
  So for these, for out of all people,
• 12:34
  these, these two motherfuckers,
• 12:37
  these two of all people, I would tell,
• 12:43
  I would tell Enos to go back from
• 12:45
  where he's from, but he can't.
• 12:48
  You can't.
• 12:49
  You can't.
• 12:51
  You can't go home.
• 12:56
  I...
• 12:58
  Again,
• 12:59
  I'm going to keep this as politically
• 13:01
  correct as possible.
• 13:03
  But again,
• 13:04
  this is just more so to put shame.
• 13:07
  We got to bring shame back, y'all.
• 13:10
  Shame these motherfuckers.
• 13:12
  Shame these two motherfuckers who think
• 13:15
  that... So here's the funny part.
• 13:19
  Y'all are claiming to be trans.
• 13:21
  The group that y'all are in support of
• 13:24
  or think that y'all have support of
• 13:27
  They don't like them.
• 13:29
  They don't like this particular group,
• 13:31
  unfortunately.
• 13:35
  This is very true.
• 13:37
  This is not the route you want to
• 13:39
  take.
• 13:41
  Like I said,
• 13:43
  I wanted to put this part out here.
• 13:45
  I wanted to shame these two motherfuckers
• 13:47
  because they need to be shamed.
• 13:49
  They need to be shamed.
• 13:51
  I'm going to make sure I clip this
• 13:52
  and tag these two motherfuckers because...
• 13:56
  Shame it.
• 13:57
  We have to continue to shame these
• 13:59
  motherfuckers.
• 14:00
  Like, the game, this game, this league,
• 14:05
  which don't get me started with the...
• 14:10
  with the top level execs of the W.
• 14:13
  But this league is,
• 14:16
  the fan base is so extensive.
• 14:20
  And we saw that when we went to
• 14:22
  Chicago.
• 14:24
  Every color, every race, every gender,
• 14:30
  whatever it is, they love the WNBA.
• 14:33
  They root for these players.
• 14:36
  They root for these teams.
• 14:37
  So for y'all to fucking stick y'all
• 14:41
  fucking noses in this shit, again,
• 14:45
  why are y'all motherfuckers here?
• 14:47
  And even for like the Emmanuel Achos,
• 14:52
  the LaShawn McCoys.
• 14:53
  Anytime I see Emmanuel Acho,
• 14:54
  I don't never take him seriously.
• 14:56
  And
• 15:00
  He be buying views,
• 15:01
  so that's another thing.
• 15:02
  And he took over a YouTube channel that
• 15:05
  was already...
• 15:07
  That was already ready-made.
• 15:09
  Yeah, so I don't even listen to him.
• 15:11
  But for them,
• 15:13
  even for those motherfuckers,
• 15:15
  the only time we hear y'all talk about
• 15:16
  the W is when it's some bullshit.
• 15:18
  It's never... Again,
• 15:19
  it's never about the game.
• 15:21
  It's never.
• 15:24
  Never.
• 15:24
  I'm trying to think what outlet out of
• 15:26
  them YouTube people that actually be...
• 15:30
  say anything.
• 15:32
  I don't think none of them do.
• 15:34
  If it's not the women of ESPN who
• 15:36
  actually cover the game of basketball,
• 15:39
  all these other motherfuckers,
• 15:40
  the Stephen A's, your damn Shannon Sharps,
• 15:46
  all y'all motherfuckers Club Club Five
• 15:52
  Twenty.
• 15:53
  Y'all motherfuckers,
• 15:57
  y'all will talk about it,
• 15:58
  but y'all don't watch.
• 16:00
  And listening to y'all talk about it lets
• 16:02
  me know y'all don't want,
• 16:04
  and y'all right there in Indy.
• 16:05
  Yeah, we did.
• 16:07
  Which baffles the fuck out of me.
• 16:10
  So just to end this,
• 16:15
  to put a bow on this, man,
• 16:17
  fuck Enos and Royce.
• 16:21
  Fuck both of y'all.
• 16:23
  Fuck Stephen A. Fuck Shannon Sharpe.
• 16:26
  Fuck Emmanuel Adjo.
• 16:31
  Fuck everywhere.
• 16:32
  Fuck LeSean McCoy.
• 16:33
  Anybody that does not watch this game,
• 16:36
  that does not watch the game of the
• 16:39
  WNBA,
• 16:40
  fuck all y'all because y'all just be up
• 16:43
  here talking.
• 16:45
  Y'all not watching the game.
• 16:47
  Y'all just talking because y'all know it's
• 16:49
  going to get clicks.
• 16:50
  Yep.
• 16:53
  That's all.
• 16:53
  That's the only reason.
• 16:54
  That's all I got.
• 16:56
  Let's get to this show.
• 16:59
  I just hate that I've been getting text
• 17:00
  messages about this.
• 17:02
  People asking, is this shit real?
• 17:05
  This shouldn't even be a conversation.
• 17:08
  It really shouldn't.
• 17:08
  At all.
• 17:10
  I hate that I even have to answer.
• 17:12
  No, man.
• 17:12
  There's no way.
• 17:14
  Come on.
• 17:16
  Again, it takes away from
• 17:19
  It takes away from shows like us and
• 17:22
  the shows that actually put in the work
• 17:25
  and that enjoy the,
• 17:27
  not only enjoy the game,
• 17:28
  but love talking about the game and
• 17:30
  giving,
• 17:31
  giving these women's their flowers.
• 17:33
  it puts a damper on us because you
• 17:35
  got these motherfuckers who have,
• 17:37
  who have the,
• 17:38
  the so-called status because they're,
• 17:40
  they're famous.
• 17:42
  You got more.
• 17:43
  Yeah.
• 17:44
  You got motherfuckers that are going,
• 17:45
  they're going to automatically listen to
• 17:47
  them because like you said,
• 17:49
  like Nick said, they got the resources to,
• 17:51
  to get it broadcast.
• 17:52
  So it, it,
• 17:54
  it pisses me off because again,
• 17:56
  we were over here doing the work while
• 17:58
  these motherfuckers are just coming in to
• 18:00
  be messy.
• 18:00
  Yeah.
• 18:02
  Yeah, B.B., like, people breaking records,
• 18:04
  like, K-Mac just went crazy,
• 18:06
  but I got people asking me about Enos
• 18:07
  Cantor.
• 18:09
  Like, this is... Come on, dog.
• 18:11
  Like, what?
• 18:12
  I don't even want to answer this.
• 18:14
  And then somebody last night,
• 18:16
  but I ended up finding out,
• 18:17
  I did my own research on this, like,
• 18:18
  it was a joke.
• 18:19
  Somebody did this.
• 18:20
  It wasn't really... Somebody was saying,
• 18:22
  Michael Beasley was saying it, but...
• 18:24
  It was basically like people were lying.
• 18:26
  He didn't really say no shit like that.
• 18:28
  Yeah, I saw that.
• 18:29
  Because I'm about to say, if he said,
• 18:31
  I know he, I know damn well.
• 18:33
  Michael Beasley ain't saying no shit like
• 18:35
  that.
• 18:35
  Like, come on, man.
• 18:36
  But it's just.
• 18:39
  This gets me mad because of the leadership
• 18:41
  that we have.
• 18:42
  Yep.
• 18:42
  That's what I said.
• 18:43
  The leadership,
• 18:45
  and I'm not talking about the WNBPA.
• 18:51
  Literally talking about the actual
• 18:53
  leadership of, of said WNBA.
• 18:57
  Y'all are not doing,
• 18:58
  y'all are not doing what y'all are
• 18:59
  supposed to do.
• 19:00
  This whole task force shit that just
• 19:01
  popped up on my phone before we,
• 19:03
  before we hit record.
• 19:04
  It's all, all of this is,
• 19:06
  it's all connected.
• 19:08
  And I wish this shit would just go
• 19:10
  ahead and fall off the face of the
• 19:11
  earth.
• 19:12
  So these women can continue to hoop.
• 19:14
  And we,
• 19:15
  we continue to do the work and, and,
• 19:17
  uh,
• 19:19
  and continue to give these women their
• 19:21
  flowers.
• 19:22
  Absolutely.
• 19:24
  Damn, you're right, BBK.
• 19:25
  Literally, shit pisses me off because,
• 19:26
  please,
• 19:27
  just ungrow the game at this point.
• 19:30
  If we knew it was going to be
• 19:31
  like this,
• 19:32
  just to put them to get paid more
• 19:34
  money, god damn.
• 19:37
  What is this?
• 19:39
  This is why.
• 19:40
  This is what it is.
• 19:42
  We give the wrong people a platform to
• 19:44
  talk and stuff.
• 19:45
  That's the thing.
• 19:47
  People who have never been an all-star,
• 19:49
  people who have always been known as role
• 19:51
  players have a voice,
• 19:53
  and I don't understand it.
• 19:54
  I was going to say,
• 19:55
  niggas that they never picked up the
• 19:57
  basketball be talking.
• 19:59
  I was like, you can't hoop.
• 20:03
  You can't hoop right now.
• 20:04
  I was like,
• 20:07
  again why why are y'all here yes is
• 20:12
  even but even me being on a on
• 20:15
  the podcast right now maybe i'm about to
• 20:17
  say this like it's just way too easy
• 20:20
  for people to uh to have a podcast
• 20:22
  now like it used to be a point
• 20:24
  it was hard like it was hard to
• 20:27
  set that up it was hard to much
• 20:29
  used to be expensive like
• 20:32
  it used to be so it used to
• 20:34
  be so difficult to even start a pocket
• 20:36
  it was difficult to to it should be
• 20:39
  an approval process damn near even i'm
• 20:43
  sitting next to a pie i'm sitting next
• 20:45
  to a podcast pioneer she was what when
• 20:48
  you when you start she did tell me
• 20:51
  that point
• 20:54
  Oh, man, she a decade in.
• 20:57
  Okay.
• 20:57
  That's funny as hell because when I met
• 20:59
  Raina, she had a podcast.
• 21:00
  I met her in twenty sixteen.
• 21:01
  It was unheard of.
• 21:03
  They weren't even doing video.
• 21:05
  They was doing straight audio.
• 21:09
  It wasn't no my shit is on YouTube
• 21:11
  plus this.
• 21:12
  Like at this point,
• 21:13
  like everybody is just everybody don't
• 21:16
  have everybody's want to jump in.
• 21:18
  I know it's like we're saying that we
• 21:20
  on a podcast,
• 21:20
  but we like we take this shit seriously.
• 21:22
  A lot of people don't take this shit
• 21:22
  seriously.
• 21:23
  Like,
• 21:24
  it ain't just turn on a mic and
• 21:26
  a camera.
• 21:26
  And that's how a lot of this shit
• 21:27
  be coming off.
• 21:29
  And then the wrong people, right,
• 21:31
  straight audio back then.
• 21:33
  It wasn't no going to see this shit
• 21:35
  on YouTube.
• 21:36
  Right.
• 21:36
  Now they got podcasts on Netflix now and
• 21:38
  shit.
• 21:38
  Yeah, like, it's getting out of control.
• 21:41
  Like, it's just really bad.
• 21:43
  And then the people that begin all this,
• 21:46
  people be listening to,
• 21:47
  they just be saying anything.
• 21:50
  Anything.
• 21:50
  Cloud chasings.
• 21:51
  clickbaits all type of shit so it's just
• 21:53
  a lot yes SoundCloud you had a fashion
• 21:55
  on SoundCloud sometimes like sometimes it
• 21:58
  wouldn't sometimes people she wouldn't
• 21:59
  even own Apple would be spotify only yeah
• 22:02
  yeah like it wasn't so now it's just
• 22:04
  it's just so easy people you can buy
• 22:06
  followers you can buy this you can do
• 22:08
  this and like he would just be saying
• 22:10
  anything but let's talk about some some
• 22:13
  real bad yeah
• 22:14
  Wow, you closed it already?
• 22:16
  Yeah, yeah.
• 22:18
  Like I said, fuck all the motherfuckers.
• 22:21
  Royce, you don't even like planes.
• 22:23
  You don't even came to see your wife
• 22:24
  and kid and you worried about you and
• 22:26
  women's business.
• 22:27
  You averaged the same amount of points
• 22:30
  that we are averaging right now.
• 22:33
  Yep.
• 22:35
  Let that sink in.
• 22:37
  Yep, pretty much.
• 22:39
  All right, man.
• 22:39
  Let's talk about some real basketball
• 22:41
  before we really just start cussing out
• 22:43
  people.
• 22:46
  The big news over the weekend, right?
• 22:48
  Yeah, I think so.
• 22:49
  I know it's Wednesday, y'all,
• 22:52
  but we got things to take care of,
• 22:54
  but we're going to talk about it now.
• 22:55
  But Nadja Lady Hamilton was waived by the
• 22:58
  Liberty.
• 22:59
  Yeah, August six.
• 23:00
  And she got picked up by the Washington
• 23:03
  Mystics.
• 23:04
  I love the move.
• 23:05
  But before I get,
• 23:06
  I'm going to hand it off to Nick.
• 23:08
  I know me and Wabi know a lot
• 23:09
  of talking already.
• 23:10
  I'm going to hand it off to you,
• 23:10
  Nick.
• 23:11
  What was your thoughts on New York waiving
• 23:14
  her
• 23:14
  then her landing with the mystics um i'm
• 23:18
  glad it happened well i'm glad it happened
• 23:20
  but i'm not glad that it happened i'm
• 23:22
  glad that it happened because clearly she
• 23:24
  wasn't getting no minutes but the one
• 23:26
  thing that i hate about it is that
• 23:27
  like you gotta think benaja laney was with
• 23:30
  new york since twenty twenty one so she
• 23:32
  was there literally at the beginning it
• 23:33
  was her sabrina and a couple other people
• 23:36
  so she had been there even before stewie
• 23:37
  got there even before jonquil got there
• 23:39
  before they really established themselves
• 23:41
  in the championship team
• 23:42
  and then you saw her continuously evolve
• 23:44
  over time i mean yeah i know that
• 23:45
  she was the most improved player even
• 23:46
  before that when she was i believe she
• 23:47
  was with atlanta when she won that award
• 23:49
  but you saw her just gradually evolve and
• 23:51
  improve over that time you know and just
• 23:53
  also being able to adapt as well because
• 23:56
  in those beginning years she was the
• 23:57
  second option for the liberty behind
• 23:59
  sabrina and then you have stewie come in
• 24:02
  you got john quill come in
• 24:04
  So now you're not even a top three
• 24:05
  option at this point,
• 24:06
  but she found a way to adapt within
• 24:07
  that team, you know,
• 24:09
  being able to bring her defensive
• 24:10
  presence, but then also being able to,
• 24:12
  you know, score the basketball,
• 24:13
  what her number is called.
• 24:14
  And I've even said, like,
• 24:16
  she was a big piece to that championship
• 24:19
  team a couple years ago,
• 24:19
  especially with the way that she was
• 24:21
  playing defense.
• 24:23
  And you like you felt her presence being
• 24:24
  missed last year.
• 24:25
  I mean,
• 24:25
  because even though even though even
• 24:28
  though New York ended up still making the
• 24:29
  playoffs,
• 24:30
  but you could tell like when they went
• 24:31
  up against Phoenix,
• 24:32
  like they missed that defensive anchor.
• 24:34
  They missed that defensive identity that
• 24:35
  Benaja lady had brought to the table.
• 24:37
  So now fast forward, you know,
• 24:39
  you got a new situation.
• 24:40
  Kristen Markle gets hired on.
• 24:42
  And for some reason,
• 24:44
  she's not getting any playing time.
• 24:46
  And it's just so funny because, you know,
• 24:48
  media members would ask him in the press.
• 24:50
  They're like, hey,
• 24:50
  why is it Benadja getting minutes?
• 24:52
  Why is it Benadja getting minutes?
• 24:54
  And it was just always some bullshit-ass
• 24:56
  excuse as to, like, why?
• 24:58
  Like, there's no update.
• 24:59
  Like, Benadja's not hurt.
• 25:01
  But Nyjah is clearly showing that she's
• 25:03
  ready to play,
• 25:04
  but then you got her on the end
• 25:04
  of the bench and you're finding some
• 25:05
  excuse like, oh, well,
• 25:06
  we're trying to figure out our rotation,
• 25:08
  this and this and this and that.
• 25:09
  Like, the thing about it is that, like,
• 25:10
  when you're a head coach and you come
• 25:12
  into a situation like the Liberty, like,
• 25:13
  you got to look at it like the
• 25:14
  Liberty have been contenders since twenty
• 25:16
  twenty three.
• 25:17
  You don't say you coming in in twenty
• 25:19
  twenty six with an established team that I
• 25:21
  just won a championship two years prior.
• 25:23
  This is not the same situation like for
• 25:24
  us,
• 25:24
  like if you want to win to go
• 25:25
  coach Connecticut and they're and they're
• 25:27
  right.
• 25:28
  You know what I'm saying?
• 25:29
  You're coming into a team that had already
• 25:31
  established a winning presence,
• 25:33
  but then you also have your core players
• 25:35
  there.
• 25:35
  So to me,
• 25:36
  I feel like you got to figure out
• 25:37
  how to come in and try to capitalize
• 25:40
  off of that.
• 25:41
  But for some reason, he hasn't, honestly.
• 25:43
  With that being said,
• 25:44
  I'm glad that she's gone.
• 25:45
  You know, when the news broke,
• 25:46
  I was super happy.
• 25:47
  I thought that she was going to be
• 25:47
  dealt at the trade deadline,
• 25:49
  but unfortunately she wasn't.
• 25:51
  And I was actually pretty shocked that she
• 25:54
  got picked up by the Misses.
• 25:55
  Like, I was exploring, like,
• 25:56
  some different teams.
• 25:57
  I know a lot of people wanted her
• 25:58
  to go to Vegas.
• 25:59
  I was also thinking about the possibility
• 26:01
  of her going to Indiana, you know,
• 26:02
  being one of their wing players,
• 26:03
  especially, you know,
• 26:04
  being able to provide perimeter defense
• 26:06
  because that's one place, like, I mean,
• 26:08
  that's one area that Indiana has struggled
• 26:09
  at this season.
• 26:11
  But I think the Mystics is great,
• 26:13
  honestly, and I'll be real.
• 26:14
  Like,
• 26:15
  when I saw that she got picked up
• 26:16
  by the Mystics, I was like, damn, like,
• 26:18
  who was their veteran before Bonaja got
• 26:21
  there?
• 26:21
  Like,
• 26:21
  I think the oldest player is Mikayla
• 26:23
  Oyawera, and I think she's, like,
• 26:24
  or something like that.
• 26:26
  Yeah, how old is Shakira?
• 26:27
  How old is Shakira Austin?
• 26:28
  I was like, Shakira might be the age,
• 26:30
  like, twenty-five, twenty-six.
• 26:32
  She's been in it for, like,
• 26:33
  I think four or five years.
• 26:34
  But I'm thinking, I'm like, damn, like,
• 26:37
  it's crazy to see how good this team
• 26:38
  is.
• 26:38
  They don't even have a veteran on the
• 26:41
  floor.
• 26:42
  Or even, like, or even on the bench.
• 26:43
  So now you add on a Benaja Laney,
• 26:46
  who is now a former champion.
• 26:49
  and who understands, you know,
• 26:50
  how to win at the highest level, like,
• 26:52
  that's going to be great for them.
• 26:53
  And, hell, I loved it.
• 26:54
  Even,
• 26:54
  I can't remember who they played on
• 26:55
  Sunday, but you saw, even, like,
• 26:57
  before the game, like,
• 26:58
  Benadja in the huddle, like,
• 26:59
  already talking with the team, like,
• 27:01
  you know what I'm saying,
• 27:01
  providing the wisdom.
• 27:02
  Like, I love that.
• 27:03
  And even in her first game last night
• 27:04
  against, I guess, the Aces, you know,
• 27:06
  she played fourteen minutes,
• 27:07
  had about six points.
• 27:08
  Like,
• 27:08
  you can already see the impact that she
• 27:09
  has, honestly.
• 27:10
  So,
• 27:11
  With the Mystics now,
• 27:12
  because I want to say they're still at,
• 27:13
  I want to say they're still the sixth
• 27:14
  seed right now, currently.
• 27:17
  Yeah, yes.
• 27:18
  Yeah,
• 27:18
  so you look at what they were able
• 27:20
  to accomplish even before Benaja got
• 27:22
  there.
• 27:23
  Now you add on a Benaja, who obviously,
• 27:25
  you know,
• 27:25
  it's probably going to take some time for
• 27:26
  her, you know, to really get adjusted.
• 27:29
  And I even told y'all this too.
• 27:30
  I told y'all this in the group chat.
• 27:32
  They got a chance at finishing top four.
• 27:34
  Honestly, when you think about it,
• 27:35
  it's them, it's Indiana, Atlanta,
• 27:38
  New York, and Dallas.
• 27:39
  They're all kind of in that same realm,
• 27:41
  honestly,
• 27:41
  as far as kind of all having the
• 27:44
  same record.
• 27:44
  A couple teams are a game or two
• 27:46
  back.
• 27:46
  I'm thinking, I'm like, yo, like,
• 27:47
  when you look at how well the Mystics
• 27:49
  have been playing as of recently,
• 27:50
  and right now they're the sixth seed,
• 27:51
  like, there's a chance they could,
• 27:53
  there's a chance that they could be the
• 27:54
  fourth seed,
• 27:55
  so I'm happy that Bernard is with this
• 27:57
  new team now,
• 27:57
  and I think they're just going to do
• 27:58
  really good with the Mystics.
• 28:00
  It does.
• 28:00
  Also, I'm going to ask you this.
• 28:03
  They did have to waive Roy.
• 28:05
  They brought him back on the developmental
• 28:07
  contract spot,
• 28:08
  but does it feel like that was a
• 28:11
  wasted pick because it was like,
• 28:13
  Roy ain't doing nothing.
• 28:14
  Like, I know you brought him back,
• 28:15
  but it was like,
• 28:18
  You know what I'm saying?
• 28:21
  Right.
• 28:22
  I don't really know, honestly,
• 28:24
  because it's like you said to me,
• 28:26
  I like Roy Harmon.
• 28:28
  I really do.
• 28:30
  but I don't know if like,
• 28:32
  she's really going to have like a true
• 28:33
  home on this team,
• 28:34
  especially at the point guard position.
• 28:35
  I mean, I know that she's,
• 28:37
  I know that she's a solid player.
• 28:38
  Don't get me wrong,
• 28:39
  but you got to think she's also
• 28:40
  undersized.
• 28:41
  Like she can score the basketball,
• 28:44
  but it's like,
• 28:45
  how well is she going to score the
• 28:46
  basketball in this league?
• 28:47
  Now,
• 28:47
  especially going up against bigger guards.
• 28:49
  Um,
• 28:50
  So I don't know, honestly, because,
• 28:51
  I mean,
• 28:51
  right now you got Georgia Amor there.
• 28:52
  You got the other girl.
• 28:54
  I keep forgetting her name,
• 28:55
  the backup point guard.
• 28:56
  She's from overseas.
• 28:58
  I can't remember her name off the top
• 28:59
  of my head.
• 28:59
  But you already have those two pretty much
• 29:02
  running the fort.
• 29:02
  So there really isn't any space, honestly,
• 29:06
  for Roy Harmon, unfortunately.
• 29:07
  So I don't know, man.
• 29:08
  I mean,
• 29:09
  it still seems like Sidney Johnson still
• 29:10
  likes her and really believes in her.
• 29:11
  But I just don't know what her future
• 29:13
  looks like with this team.
• 29:15
  I think he said,
• 29:16
  I'll play Roy over Amor.
• 29:18
  Amor was picked too high.
• 29:21
  She was picked too high for sure.
• 29:22
  I get it.
• 29:24
  But I will say this, though, too,
• 29:25
  because I definitely have my questions
• 29:26
  about Georgia Amor,
• 29:28
  not from a scoring standpoint,
• 29:29
  but just from a playmaker standpoint.
• 29:30
  And she's not there yet,
• 29:32
  but I have seen her.
• 29:34
  continuously improve as a decision maker,
• 29:36
  which obviously she has to.
• 29:37
  I mean,
• 29:37
  especially when you're playing on the
• 29:38
  floor next to Sonya Citron,
• 29:40
  Kiki Iria-Fenn, Shakira Austin.
• 29:43
  So you have to adjust, honestly,
• 29:44
  especially as far as being the floor
• 29:47
  general.
• 29:47
  So I will give her some credit, honestly.
• 29:49
  Oh, yeah.
• 29:51
  The other guard is Alicia Flores.
• 29:52
  Appreciate that.
• 29:53
  I like her a lot.
• 29:54
  Honestly,
• 29:55
  my preference is I would have her start.
• 29:59
  That's me.
• 30:00
  You need a bigger point.
• 30:02
  I responded to you,
• 30:03
  I think it was yesterday,
• 30:05
  yesterday or today,
• 30:06
  when you were talking about the
• 30:07
  Mississippi.
• 30:07
  I was like, dog,
• 30:08
  they're a point guard away.
• 30:10
  Only they had a point guard right now.
• 30:12
  And, again, nothing against Georgia Amar,
• 30:16
  but right now you have a lot of
• 30:19
  work to do,
• 30:20
  and your main issue is that you keep
• 30:26
  turning the ball over.
• 30:27
  And with the team that Washington has
• 30:30
  right now,
• 30:31
  they need a floor general at the very
• 30:35
  – don't need you to necessarily score,
• 30:37
  but we need you –
• 30:39
  We need you to get out there and
• 30:41
  be the floor general.
• 30:42
  Make sure you, you know,
• 30:44
  make the right play.
• 30:45
  Make sure everybody's doing what they're
• 30:48
  supposed to do on the floor.
• 30:50
  Like,
• 30:50
  be that extension of the coach as a
• 30:52
  point guard should.
• 30:54
  Ain't it funny how a lot of teams
• 30:57
  in the NBA go through the same situation?
• 31:00
  Ain't it funny how positionless basketball
• 31:03
  is fucking up franchises right now?
• 31:05
  Because they thought,
• 31:07
  and teams in the W starting to do
• 31:09
  the same thing,
• 31:10
  everybody think just because you know how
• 31:12
  to create a basket that you know how
• 31:14
  to run point.
• 31:15
  That's completely different.
• 31:17
  Running point and being able to create
• 31:19
  your own shot is not the same thing.
• 31:21
  And so many teams we talk about,
• 31:23
  we be like, they're a point guard away.
• 31:25
  They're a point guard away.
• 31:28
  That's a lot of these teams' problem.
• 31:30
  You saw Georgia Amore.
• 31:31
  in college and i'm with stefan too like
• 31:34
  i try to get her grace because she
• 31:35
  did tara acl and you know i know
• 31:38
  a lot of people be coming back kind
• 31:39
  of quick from that but sometimes people
• 31:41
  still be uh um recovering from that it
• 31:44
  could take a little bit but she was
• 31:46
  already a small guard she wasn't like
• 31:49
  In college, you can do that shit.
• 31:51
  You can damn near do that point guard
• 31:53
  by committee shit sometimes in college.
• 31:55
  You just be the ball hand.
• 31:56
  You just take over.
• 31:57
  That shit's just not going to work in
• 31:58
  the W when you got scrappier guards and
• 32:02
  guards that are stronger.
• 32:03
  I was about to say, bigger, stronger,
• 32:06
  faster.
• 32:06
  Absolutely.
• 32:08
  I try to get her grace as well,
• 32:09
  but the problem is when you get drafted.
• 32:12
  That's the kind of thing with HVL.
• 32:14
  When you get drafted,
• 32:15
  people start judging you
• 32:17
  a little bit differently.
• 32:18
  If Georgia Amor got drafted in the second
• 32:21
  or third round,
• 32:22
  I don't think it'd be a big deal
• 32:24
  with her right now.
• 32:26
  You know what I'm saying?
• 32:27
  Was she like top four, five, six,
• 32:31
  six or some shit like that?
• 32:33
  Let me check.
• 32:35
  She was hot.
• 32:36
  I think she was at least top ten.
• 32:38
  Yeah, she was definitely top ten.
• 32:39
  I want to say she was better than
• 32:41
  five or six or some shit like that,
• 32:42
  but when you get picked in them ranges...
• 32:45
  And then you turn your ACL in camp.
• 32:49
  I think she might have been four or
• 32:50
  five, to be honest.
• 32:51
  She was top three?
• 32:52
  No way.
• 32:53
  No, she was six overall.
• 32:55
  Okay, I was about to say.
• 32:57
  Top three would have been fucking wild,
• 32:59
  dog.
• 32:59
  Yeah, I was like, I don't remember that.
• 33:03
  But, yeah, I know it was like four,
• 33:04
  five, six range.
• 33:05
  So, like,
• 33:06
  when you get top six like that,
• 33:08
  then you turn your ACL,
• 33:10
  and it's like – and people was already
• 33:11
  questioning the pick in the first place.
• 33:13
  So, I mean –
• 33:15
  That's really killing them right now,
• 33:16
  what's going on in Washington.
• 33:18
  So I try to give her grace to
• 33:19
  see if she improves,
• 33:20
  but
• 33:21
  You ain't going to get taller.
• 33:23
  But also, like,
• 33:23
  the thing about it is that, like,
• 33:25
  I understand that she is more of a
• 33:27
  scoring guard.
• 33:27
  She's always been like that.
• 33:29
  But also, like,
• 33:30
  she should already know how to adapt
• 33:32
  playing next to other great scorers
• 33:33
  because she's also been around other great
• 33:35
  scorers as well.
• 33:35
  Like,
• 33:36
  you look at her first couple years at
• 33:38
  Virginia Tech,
• 33:38
  she was playing next to Liz Kittley.
• 33:39
  She was the number one option for that
• 33:42
  team.
• 33:42
  Virginia Tech literally ran that offense
• 33:44
  through her.
• 33:45
  So I feel like Georgia Amar should already
• 33:47
  understand, like,
• 33:47
  how to adapt playing –
• 33:49
  next to other league scores especially
• 33:50
  considering that they're post players like
• 33:51
  for instance like even on the mystics
• 33:53
  there's a mystics team you got shakira
• 33:55
  austin you got a kiki area finn but
• 33:57
  then also off the bench you got lauren
• 33:58
  betts so you know what i'm saying you're
• 34:01
  like you're gonna be playing like you're
• 34:02
  playing with players who are talented
• 34:04
  enough as post players to where the office
• 34:06
  can run through them honestly because
• 34:07
  let's just be real like when office is
• 34:09
  running through kiki or sonya on the block
• 34:10
  like it opens up a lot of perimeter
• 34:12
  opportunities for uh for the mystics
• 34:15
  So, that's the thing as well, though.
• 34:16
  It's like I said, like,
• 34:17
  I understand that she's always been a
• 34:19
  scoring guard,
• 34:20
  which I will give her credit.
• 34:20
  She's always been a talented scorer,
• 34:22
  but I feel like she should already have
• 34:23
  learned how to, like, how to, like,
• 34:25
  adapt playing next to, like,
• 34:26
  other elite scorers,
• 34:27
  especially ones that are post players.
• 34:28
  For sure.
• 34:31
  And you've had...
• 34:31
  We can stop talking about the whole
• 34:32
  Washington team.
• 34:32
  We can stop talking about the match.
• 34:35
  No, it's fine.
• 34:39
  But, uh, go ahead.
• 34:39
  I was gonna say,
• 34:40
  and you've even during that time frame
• 34:42
  that you while you were injured,
• 34:44
  while you
• 34:44
  while you were recovering,
• 34:47
  that's the perfect time to watch and see,
• 34:50
  check the tendency, you know,
• 34:51
  find the tendencies of your teammates,
• 34:54
  like know where they like to catch the
• 34:56
  ball, like what's their spots,
• 34:58
  how they like to catch the ball,
• 34:59
  things of that nature.
• 35:00
  So at the very least you have an
• 35:01
  idea
• 35:03
  and then once you get back to on
• 35:05
  once you get on the floor now okay
• 35:07
  at the very least i know where they
• 35:09
  like where their spots are now let me
• 35:12
  figure out how how i can work to
• 35:15
  get them the ball in those spots um
• 35:20
  but yeah back uh but um with benaja
• 35:23
  man uh
• 35:24
  I'm really,
• 35:25
  I'm just glad that she's playing
• 35:26
  basketball again because she's been
• 35:27
  dealing with these knee injuries,
• 35:29
  the meniscus surgery,
• 35:31
  like when she's missing unrivaled.
• 35:33
  A lot of players,
• 35:33
  a lot of people that ain't even seen
• 35:35
  Benaja play in forever.
• 35:37
  They don't even know how good of a
• 35:38
  hooper she really is.
• 35:39
  Didn't she get hurt in a rival?
• 35:41
  I think it was in a rival she
• 35:42
  got hurt.
• 35:42
  Yeah, yeah.
• 35:42
  She got hurt there.
• 35:44
  So I think this is going to help
• 35:46
  a lot.
• 35:46
  I think, hold on, Jeremy said,
• 35:48
  What do you guys think the addition of
• 35:50
  Banaja can do for her development of Cody
• 35:53
  and even Prosper or how do you say
• 35:56
  it?
• 35:56
  Dougalich?
• 35:59
  Dougalich.
• 36:00
  I think it's going to help a lot
• 36:02
  because kind of how, especially Cody,
• 36:05
  the way Banaja play and how she do
• 36:09
  other things besides scoring,
• 36:10
  I think Cody can do that.
• 36:11
  I think Cody can be that type of
• 36:14
  player.
• 36:15
  And like Nick said,
• 36:15
  I didn't even think about
• 36:17
  her being a vet on this team.
• 36:19
  Like, I didn't, you know what I'm saying?
• 36:20
  Like, I didn't think about that at all.
• 36:22
  I think it can help even prosper.
• 36:24
  Like, y'all know me.
• 36:25
  Another player I can add, too, Sonya.
• 36:27
  I think Sully can benefit tremendously
• 36:29
  playing next to Benadja.
• 36:30
  Yes,
• 36:30
  because Benadja is such a good two-way
• 36:32
  player, man.
• 36:33
  She's going to have to rebound.
• 36:35
  She's going to play some defense.
• 36:37
  And she can score when she needs to
• 36:38
  score as well.
• 36:39
  That's the thing, too,
• 36:40
  because I think people forgot how good of
• 36:42
  a scorer Benadja can be.
• 36:44
  It's just that she played next to Stewie,
• 36:46
  Jonquell, and Sabrina.
• 36:47
  So she didn't have to score the
• 36:48
  basketball.
• 36:49
  But when her number was called,
• 36:50
  she could score it.
• 36:51
  And she can stretch the floor.
• 36:52
  She can shoot that thing.
• 36:53
  Yeah, she can shoot.
• 36:54
  She can shot create, too.
• 36:57
  Yeah, so...
• 36:57
  The Liberty don't get that championship
• 36:59
  without her.
• 37:00
  Literally.
• 37:01
  They do not.
• 37:02
  So,
• 37:02
  I know that I saw Jay Lynn's talking
• 37:07
  about Jonathan Cole days of number.
• 37:09
  I think that was him who said that.
• 37:10
  Yeah.
• 37:11
  But I think, hey, man,
• 37:12
  I think it's looking ugly in New York,
• 37:15
  man.
• 37:16
  Like, you losing identity out there.
• 37:19
  You...
• 37:20
  Like, you losing something with that.
• 37:22
  You need that.
• 37:22
  And now you got this coach and then
• 37:24
  this – and the GM just – it's
• 37:26
  like he's doing whatever out there.
• 37:28
  So,
• 37:29
  to lose her and get nothing for her.
• 37:32
  That's the part that – That's the part
• 37:34
  that sucks.
• 37:35
  Like,
• 37:35
  that's why they should have done it at
• 37:36
  the deadline.
• 37:40
  I'm sure there was a team that would
• 37:42
  have traded for it.
• 37:44
  My thing is, how bad do –
• 37:49
  Did you want her to be off this
• 37:52
  team?
• 37:53
  I think that's part of it.
• 37:56
  Now, I know you got some team.
• 37:59
  All teams going to try you.
• 38:01
  That's just part of the game.
• 38:03
  They're going to try you and see what
• 38:04
  they can,
• 38:06
  if they can get away with something as
• 38:08
  far as... A good GM going to try.
• 38:12
  Yeah.
• 38:13
  My theory,
• 38:14
  and I know I use this for the
• 38:15
  NBA,
• 38:16
  but this goes across any sports landscape.
• 38:23
  The game is to find the dumbest GM.
• 38:27
  That's it.
• 38:28
  And make them an offer.
• 38:30
  You find it.
• 38:31
  Why do you think Danny AJ has been
• 38:34
  able to do the shit that he's been
• 38:36
  able to do in Boston and now in
• 38:38
  Utah?
• 38:39
  Why do you think that certain teams are
• 38:42
  able to do the thing?
• 38:44
  Because they know who the dumb GMs are
• 38:48
  and what to ask for at the very
• 38:51
  least.
• 38:51
  And then at the very least,
• 38:53
  if you can get your foot in the
• 38:54
  door,
• 38:55
  then you start making adjustments to
• 38:58
  whatever trade that you're trying to make.
• 39:03
  I mean, I know I'm simplifying it,
• 39:07
  and it's a lot more work.
• 39:09
  It's a lot more work into it.
• 39:11
  But, again, to me, it's not that hard.
• 39:14
  No, that's basically what it is.
• 39:17
  Jeremy, you got the questions tonight,
• 39:19
  boy.
• 39:19
  Yeah, you got a few, bro.
• 39:23
  Does Liberty regret the Satu signing?
• 39:25
  I think that is what caused the tension
• 39:27
  with Banaja because Satu took her spot.
• 39:31
  I didn't try to hear that, man.
• 39:32
  You could have played them both.
• 39:34
  You could have played them both, man.
• 39:35
  Come on now.
• 39:35
  A smart coach can get it done.
• 39:41
  I do.
• 39:42
  Don't even bring her back at this point.
• 39:44
  You talking about Satu?
• 39:46
  I'll be real.
• 39:47
  Like,
• 39:47
  I don't know what is going to happen
• 39:49
  with her in the future, honestly,
• 39:50
  because this concussion sounds bad.
• 39:53
  And you got to think, too,
• 39:54
  this is her second concussion in, like,
• 39:55
  less than a year because she dealt with
• 39:57
  a concussion in the finals.
• 39:58
  It ain't even been a year since the
• 39:59
  finals.
• 40:00
  No, yeah, no.
• 40:02
  She is not... Like,
• 40:07
  is her heart into it right now?
• 40:09
  Like, dealing with a concussion this long,
• 40:12
  like,
• 40:12
  how many games has she played this year?
• 40:13
  Two?
• 40:15
  I don't know.
• 40:16
  It hasn't been a lot because remember,
• 40:17
  she missed the first part of the season.
• 40:19
  Yeah.
• 40:19
  And I don't know.
• 40:22
  Man,
• 40:22
  I don't know what the hell's going on
• 40:23
  with concussions in the W anyway right
• 40:25
  about now because what the hell is y'all
• 40:26
  doing in practice?
• 40:27
  Every time I look up,
• 40:28
  somebody got a damn concussion or a head
• 40:30
  injury.
• 40:30
  Like, what the hell is y'all doing?
• 40:32
  Like, calm down.
• 40:33
  Y'all need red jerseys on?
• 40:35
  Don't touch them?
• 40:36
  Like, what the hell is going on?
• 40:37
  Treat them like a quarterback?
• 40:38
  Treat them like a quarterback.
• 40:39
  What the hell is going on in practice?
• 40:41
  Every time I look up, somebody, like,
• 40:43
  it was crazy for a minute,
• 40:44
  but
• 40:45
  New York is in... Hey, man,
• 40:49
  New York is in a weird spot, but...
• 40:52
  I ain't seen her smile this big in
• 40:54
  a long time.
• 40:55
  Nah, she's showing all thirty-two.
• 40:57
  Yes.
• 40:57
  Showing all thirty-two.
• 41:01
  Just real quick, back to the Liberty.
• 41:04
  After watching them last night and how
• 41:05
  they lost against Indiana,
• 41:07
  I'm starting to lose hope in them.
• 41:10
  It's like... That was bad.
• 41:13
  It made me realize this team really has
• 41:15
  not progressed this season.
• 41:17
  Stewie's been cooking this year.
• 41:18
  Stewie's had a great year.
• 41:19
  Sabrina's had some good moments.
• 41:20
  But as a team,
• 41:23
  this team has not shown a lot of
• 41:24
  improvement.
• 41:25
  I know that I said, hey,
• 41:27
  they can still finish top five,
• 41:28
  especially with the talent and the roster
• 41:29
  that they do have,
• 41:30
  but
• 41:31
  it's not looking good for them man and
• 41:33
  i don't i don't like i really want
• 41:34
  to know what this future what like what
• 41:36
  the future of the franchise looks like
• 41:37
  because i don't know they don't like have
• 41:39
  no nasty in them nah hey there was
• 41:43
  a player that provided the nasty but hey
• 41:45
  they didn't want a player they didn't want
• 41:47
  a player like they don't they don't have
• 41:50
  i think i saw jay land say it
• 41:51
  earlier like they got a bunch of finesse
• 41:54
  europeans on their squad they ain't got no
• 41:57
  dog in them they
• 42:00
  There you go.
• 42:01
  We don't got no dogs.
• 42:02
  No.
• 42:02
  Like, you need that.
• 42:04
  To win a championship, man,
• 42:05
  you got to have some nasty.
• 42:10
  Man, Tony,
• 42:10
  I forgot about the damn USA roster.
• 42:12
  We got time.
• 42:13
  I think we might pull it up.
• 42:14
  Right.
• 42:15
  But also, real quick,
• 42:16
  I don't know if we're going to the
• 42:17
  next topic,
• 42:17
  but I'm going to just say this straight
• 42:18
  up, yo.
• 42:19
  Chris DeMarco got to go ASAP.
• 42:23
  ASAP.
• 42:23
  I don't want to see this man on
• 42:25
  the sideline next year.
• 42:26
  I just don't.
• 42:28
  It'll be so nasty if he's still there,
• 42:30
  bro.
• 42:30
  No, yeah,
• 42:31
  because the only way you bring him back,
• 42:34
  they hoisting the trophy.
• 42:37
  That's the only way you bring him back.
• 42:39
  Even then, his ass could still go,
• 42:40
  because remember,
• 42:41
  they were about to get rid of Sandy,
• 42:42
  too.
• 42:42
  They were about to get rid of Sandy,
• 42:44
  but nah.
• 42:45
  Cobb said that shit, though.
• 42:47
  Cobb said that, like,
• 42:49
  she was already on the hot seat before
• 42:50
  they won a championship,
• 42:51
  so she basically was, like,
• 42:53
  walking dead at that point after that
• 42:55
  year,
• 42:55
  but
• 42:57
  I don't even think this team,
• 42:58
  he did look bad, man.
• 43:00
  And like I always say,
• 43:02
  like I always say with any sport,
• 43:05
  I'm all for needing a new voice with
• 43:08
  coaches.
• 43:08
  Sometimes that happens.
• 43:09
  But you got to make the right choice
• 43:12
  after that coach.
• 43:14
  Like Sandy had her issues.
• 43:16
  Sandy people had her gripes with Sandy.
• 43:18
  But you can't go from Sandy to Chris
• 43:21
  DeMarco.
• 43:23
  And look at what Sandy got going on
• 43:25
  in Toronto.
• 43:26
  You know what I'm saying?
• 43:30
  You can't do that.
• 43:31
  You can't just think,
• 43:32
  I got players like Stewie, JJ, Sabrina,
• 43:36
  but not at that time,
• 43:38
  and that we can just get any coach.
• 43:40
  It don't work like that.
• 43:43
  From the jump,
• 43:43
  we said what that man said.
• 43:46
  Basically,
• 43:46
  he had no idea about women's basketball.
• 43:50
  I don't know how to exact quote,
• 43:51
  but he definitely said that shit in the
• 43:52
  press conference on his own mouth.
• 43:55
  When we said that is not a good
• 43:57
  look, people said we were tripping.
• 44:01
  And I knew we weren't tripping when that
• 44:02
  shit was going down.
• 44:05
  As Lo says, we're never wrong.
• 44:07
  We're just early.
• 44:09
  We're just early.
• 44:12
  Every time.
• 44:14
  It's looking nasty, but man,
• 44:15
  shout out to the Mystics, man.
• 44:18
  That's a fun team over there.
• 44:21
  How long is her contract?
• 44:25
  She got waived,
• 44:26
  so they just have to pick her up
• 44:27
  for, like,
• 44:28
  what they sign for the rest of the
• 44:29
  season, basically, type of thing.
• 44:30
  Is she going to be a free agent?
• 44:32
  Yeah, that's right.
• 44:33
  I'm thinking it's a trade or some shit.
• 44:34
  Duh.
• 44:34
  It was a waive.
• 44:35
  So, man, hopefully,
• 44:38
  I would love to see her back there
• 44:40
  again and stay there with them if that's
• 44:43
  possible.
• 44:45
  I think, you know, especially, like,
• 44:47
  I mean,
• 44:47
  I think especially with the way that this
• 44:49
  season has turned out for them,
• 44:50
  I could definitely see her possibly
• 44:52
  staying after this year.
• 44:53
  Yeah, like keep her there, man.
• 44:54
  Like that's like a piece they need.
• 44:56
  Like I said earlier,
• 44:57
  I was not thinking about her being the
• 44:59
  vet.
• 44:59
  That's a good vet to have.
• 45:01
  She got all the experience.
• 45:02
  She didn't see it at all.
• 45:03
  She got all the experience in the world
• 45:04
  to help them through situations.
• 45:06
  And because they've been going to some,
• 45:08
  they ain't never been in the playoffs.
• 45:09
  Were they in the playoffs last year?
• 45:13
  The Missing, no, they weren't.
• 45:15
  So they about to get into some battles
• 45:16
  they ain't never been in.
• 45:17
  And this stretch going down,
• 45:19
  battling for spots,
• 45:20
  they ain't never been in.
• 45:22
  They going to be a tough out, too.
• 45:24
  They going to be a tough out.
• 45:25
  That's why I tweeted this, too.
• 45:26
  I was like, look,
• 45:27
  I'm not saying that the Missing can win
• 45:29
  a first-round series,
• 45:29
  but whoever has to face them,
• 45:31
  they going to have some problems, man.
• 45:32
  And they going to feel that shit going
• 45:33
  to the next round.
• 45:34
  And look,
• 45:36
  don't let them get the fourth seed,
• 45:37
  because if they the fourth seed,
• 45:38
  that means they got home court advantage.
• 45:40
  Yes.
• 45:41
  Yes.
• 45:42
  That's going to be a hard team.
• 45:44
  As KG once said,
• 45:45
  you ever been in a bar fight?
• 45:47
  Yeah.
• 45:48
  That's what it's going to be.
• 45:49
  And they already have some nasty to them.
• 45:51
  They already have some nasty to them.
• 45:54
  And you get Benaja too,
• 45:55
  who got some nastier?
• 45:57
  Please.
• 45:58
  That's going to be a hard scene.
• 45:59
  That's going to be a fun scene,
• 46:00
  whatever they get in that.
• 46:01
  If they get that poor scene,
• 46:03
  that's going to be ugly for somebody.
• 46:05
  They can fuck around, you know,
• 46:07
  Anything can happen in the playoff series.
• 46:09
  The right matchup,
• 46:09
  you fuck around and get up out of
• 46:10
  here quickly.
• 46:11
  Big time.
• 46:12
  But we're going to move on to a
• 46:16
  struggling-ass team.
• 46:17
  We're right about now after the All-Star
• 46:19
  break.
• 46:20
  They just won tonight,
• 46:21
  so that kind of helps.
• 46:23
  It does help, but the Dallas Wings, man,
• 46:26
  they won tonight,
• 46:27
  but they've been struggling.
• 46:29
  July twenty-ninth, they lost to the Dream.
• 46:33
  Eighty-two, eighty-one.
• 46:34
  The thirty first they lost to the Mystics.
• 46:37
  Eighty one seventy five.
• 46:39
  Then August second,
• 46:40
  they got dubbed by the Connecticut Sun of
• 46:44
  all teams like that is the last thing
• 46:46
  they got.
• 46:47
  No, they got they won that game.
• 46:52
  Oh, they did.
• 46:52
  They did win that game.
• 46:53
  I'm sorry, Dallas.
• 46:54
  I did win that.
• 46:56
  They got they got cooked by the Valkyries.
• 46:58
  That's right.
• 46:58
  I switched the names of the Valkyries.
• 47:01
  Then they dubbed them.
• 47:03
  Ninety-four, seventy-six,
• 47:04
  they lost to the Mystics,
• 47:06
  and they lost to the Lynx.
• 47:07
  I mean,
• 47:07
  you can't really be mad at that,
• 47:09
  but they won tonight.
• 47:12
  That kind of helps.
• 47:12
  But they've been struggling, man.
• 47:13
  We're going to throw them into the pot
• 47:15
  of, I just don't understand y'all,
• 47:17
  like Atlanta and Indiana and shit like
• 47:21
  that.
• 47:22
  But, man, Nick,
• 47:25
  what's your thoughts on Dallas right now?
• 47:28
  Um,
• 47:30
  I think they're just going through some
• 47:30
  growing pains.
• 47:32
  You got to think I mean,
• 47:33
  this is a new team.
• 47:34
  And not only this is a new team,
• 47:35
  this is a this is a new team
• 47:36
  that's pretty much trying to really figure
• 47:38
  out their identity as far as, you know,
• 47:40
  really building around the young players.
• 47:42
  Like, I mean,
• 47:42
  you got to think I mean,
• 47:43
  Paige Beckers is the franchise player at
• 47:44
  this point,
• 47:45
  like she's the number one option,
• 47:46
  everything runs through her.
• 47:47
  So I think, you know,
• 47:48
  this is obviously a new situation for her
• 47:50
  as a franchise player,
• 47:51
  but then also for a lot of
• 47:52
  for a lot of the other players too
• 47:53
  because i mean there's a lot of sacrifices
• 47:55
  that have to be made like for instance
• 47:56
  like if you're a player like erika
• 47:58
  gumawali who's used to getting a lot of
• 48:00
  shots and really being the focal point
• 48:02
  offensively i mean yes she still has
• 48:03
  moments where she is but she's not
• 48:05
  necessarily like the primary option
• 48:07
  anymore in dallas uh but then also at
• 48:09
  the same time like you know like i
• 48:10
  think a lot of players are still trying
• 48:12
  to find their identity and still getting
• 48:14
  accustomed honestly so
• 48:16
  Like, I still have hopes in Dallas.
• 48:18
  Like, obviously not to win a championship,
• 48:19
  but I still think that, you know,
• 48:20
  that they're a pretty solid team.
• 48:22
  And then also, at the same time,
• 48:23
  injuries don't help as well because
• 48:25
  obviously AZ Foot has missed time.
• 48:26
  And I'll be real,
• 48:27
  when I was watching the game against
• 48:28
  Minnesota the other day, I was like, damn,
• 48:31
  like...
• 48:32
  they really do miss AZ.
• 48:33
  And you really see the value that she
• 48:35
  brings to this team, even as a rookie,
• 48:37
  honestly.
• 48:37
  Not just being able to score the
• 48:38
  basketball,
• 48:38
  but just being able to be a really
• 48:40
  great perimeter defender, you know,
• 48:42
  being able to get it past the lanes,
• 48:43
  being able to have active hands, like,
• 48:45
  and also being able to use her
• 48:46
  physicality.
• 48:47
  So I think that's,
• 48:48
  I think her presence has been a big
• 48:49
  loss for them.
• 48:51
  Alicia Clark,
• 48:51
  who has missed some time now as well,
• 48:53
  you know, she's obviously, you know,
• 48:55
  a key veteran for that team.
• 48:57
  But then also, at the same time, too,
• 48:59
  like, Coach Jose, like,
• 49:01
  Some of these decisions,
• 49:03
  I'm not really buying, honestly.
• 49:04
  I didn't understand the move to put Alana
• 49:07
  Smith back in the starting lineup and take
• 49:09
  Awok Huir out.
• 49:10
  Awok was playing phenomenal basketball.
• 49:12
  I felt that she really played well and
• 49:14
  thrived well next to the other starters.
• 49:16
  but they went with that adjustment.
• 49:17
  I didn't really understand that because
• 49:18
  Atlanta has been one that's been
• 49:19
  struggling all year long,
• 49:21
  especially after the season that she just
• 49:22
  had last year in Minnesota.
• 49:24
  So I didn't really understand that,
• 49:26
  but I don't know.
• 49:27
  I just feel like this is kind of
• 49:29
  still a new situation for Dallas.
• 49:31
  And even like before the season,
• 49:32
  like I talked about it, like,
• 49:34
  like with this new team like i just
• 49:36
  didn't know like where they were where
• 49:38
  they will be placed in the standings
• 49:39
  because when you look at them on paper
• 49:41
  they could easily be top five when you
• 49:43
  look at the level of talent that they
• 49:44
  do have but how will all of this
• 49:47
  mesh together and will they be able to
• 49:48
  find that consistency and i think them
• 49:52
  Being in this funk right now is the
• 49:53
  reason why they're the eighth seed.
• 49:56
  Can they possibly move up?
• 49:58
  I definitely believe so.
• 50:01
  Even outside of them,
• 50:01
  there's other inconsistent teams.
• 50:04
  Atlanta is inconsistent.
• 50:06
  Indiana is very inconsistent as well.
• 50:08
  I'll say fourth through eighth is going to
• 50:10
  continue to fluctuate just because teams
• 50:11
  are still trying to figure themselves out.
• 50:13
  They're going through a lot of growing
• 50:14
  pains themselves.
• 50:16
  I still do think that it's possible for
• 50:17
  the Wings to, you know,
• 50:19
  get a higher seed,
• 50:19
  but they're going to have to figure
• 50:21
  something out soon,
• 50:21
  especially with the season, you know,
• 50:23
  coming down to an end.
• 50:24
  Yeah, and since you did mention Arike,
• 50:27
  and I'm seeing people talking about her in
• 50:29
  the chat, we was all, like,
• 50:32
  scratching our heads, like, man,
• 50:34
  why are they bringing her back?
• 50:35
  I just want to give her props to
• 50:38
  the point where we ain't heard no nothing
• 50:42
  about her
• 50:43
  in the locker room or having an attitude
• 50:46
  about a lesser role or nothing.
• 50:49
  Like, I just want to give her,
• 50:50
  cause we all figured like,
• 50:52
  this is not going to work out well
• 50:53
  at all.
• 50:55
  But, I mean, and that's the thing, too,
• 50:56
  because, like, I'll give her credit, like,
• 50:57
  as a veteran for understanding, like, hey,
• 50:59
  like, I got this player, Paige Beckers,
• 51:01
  here, and she's a dog.
• 51:03
  Like, you know what I'm saying?
• 51:03
  She's a lead on both ends of the
• 51:04
  floor.
• 51:05
  Like, she can really lead this team.
• 51:06
  Like, so, if I'm Arika, I'm thinking,
• 51:08
  like, okay, cool.
• 51:08
  Like,
• 51:09
  if I want to put myself in position
• 51:10
  to continue to win and then possibly win
• 51:13
  a championship, like,
• 51:14
  this is probably the best move is to
• 51:15
  run through her,
• 51:16
  and then I'll just play off of her
• 51:18
  and have my moments as well occasionally.
• 51:20
  Mm-hmm.
• 51:20
  Like,
• 51:21
  I just want to shout her out because...
• 51:23
  she could have easily just been like,
• 51:26
  not with this shit at all whatsoever.
• 51:28
  Like, this is still my squad.
• 51:30
  And I feel like she's really letting it
• 51:32
  be like, this is Paige's squad now.
• 51:34
  But I know I can get mine.
• 51:36
  This is Paige's team.
• 51:38
  You know what I'm saying?
• 51:38
  Like, she's really doing,
• 51:40
  I got to give her props because this
• 51:42
  is,
• 51:43
  she could have did what a girl did
• 51:45
  in Vegas.
• 51:46
  She could have been acting a plum ass.
• 51:49
  You know what I'm saying?
• 51:51
  That's exactly who I was thinking about,
• 51:52
  too.
• 51:53
  When you first started talking about this
• 51:55
  whole Enrique thing,
• 51:55
  that's the first thing I thought about.
• 51:57
  She could have been like Kennedy.
• 52:00
  She could have been just like that in
• 52:01
  press conferences, talking about,
• 52:02
  I want to be shooting the ball.
• 52:04
  I want this shit to run through me
• 52:05
  and doing this.
• 52:06
  She could have been doing that.
• 52:08
  Yeah, her contract helps as well.
• 52:11
  The contract definitely helps, but still,
• 52:14
  a player firing like Enrique,
• 52:16
  and she's been that girl from high school
• 52:19
  Notre Dame, then she being with Dallas.
• 52:22
  She's been that number one.
• 52:24
  But she, in her mind, realized, hey,
• 52:27
  Paige is a different type of animal that
• 52:30
  I'm okay with.
• 52:31
  And she's still going to get her baskets
• 52:32
  because Paige, we still be like, damn,
• 52:35
  Paige,
• 52:35
  stop passing the block and go get busy.
• 52:37
  So it's like she still knows she's going
• 52:39
  to get hers.
• 52:40
  So I just want to salute her for
• 52:41
  that because that helps Dallas that she's
• 52:46
  not having no locker room turmoil.
• 52:49
  Now,
• 52:50
  anything can happen when it comes to the
• 52:51
  playoffs, but I don't think,
• 52:52
  I think that she's in,
• 52:54
  I think she's good with how everything is
• 52:56
  going.
• 52:56
  But shout out,
• 52:58
  I just want to give a shout out
• 52:59
  to her because I've noticed that shit,
• 53:01
  for sure,
• 53:02
  because she can definitely be in another
• 53:03
  way.
• 53:04
  You can definitely, like you said,
• 53:06
  you can definitely tell that they're
• 53:07
  missing AZ Fudd and Jessica Shepard.
• 53:11
  When you have an automatic double-double
• 53:17
  And borderline walking triple-double,
• 53:21
  that's not in the game.
• 53:22
  That's a lot that you have to –
• 53:24
  that you got to cover,
• 53:26
  that you got to cover.
• 53:27
  So hopefully when they get those two
• 53:33
  pieces back,
• 53:35
  everything will kind of shift back to a
• 53:38
  norm for them,
• 53:40
  and hopefully they're able to cause a
• 53:44
  little bit of disruption in the standings.
• 53:47
  Of course,
• 53:47
  they still need to – they got to
• 53:49
  do better as far as protecting the paint
• 53:53
  because they've been getting –
• 53:55
  They've been giving up the cheeks and the
• 53:57
  paint.
• 53:58
  Not the cheeks.
• 54:00
  They've been giving it up.
• 54:01
  What the hell made you say that, dog?
• 54:02
  Hey, dog.
• 54:06
  What the hell?
• 54:06
  What's on his mind, dog?
• 54:11
  Oh, my God.
• 54:13
  Oh, my God.
• 54:13
  Oh, man.
• 54:13
  It's hot.
• 54:14
  I'm a little wet here.
• 54:24
  Right.
• 54:24
  No, this wouldn't, look,
• 54:25
  this wouldn't happen to shoes here.
• 54:28
  No, but.
• 54:29
  What made you go with that first?
• 54:30
  Yeah, that fuck face.
• 54:32
  Whoa.
• 54:36
  I think we all made the same face
• 54:38
  he made when Tyler said that first.
• 54:39
  Yeah, yeah, he's like, yo.
• 54:42
  Yo, wait a minute.
• 54:44
  Why that verse?
• 54:46
  That's what came to your head?
• 54:52
  Oh, man.
• 54:52
  In all seriousness.
• 54:54
  In all seriousness.
• 54:56
  They definitely have to do a better job
• 54:58
  of protecting the paint.
• 55:01
  And closing possessions.
• 55:02
  Like, you have to,
• 55:05
  whether it's on defense,
• 55:07
  especially on defense, like,
• 55:10
  once you make, you know,
• 55:11
  you get –
• 55:12
  You get a stop.
• 55:13
  You do everything to get said stop.
• 55:16
  You got to get that defensive rebound.
• 55:19
  That's why for them in particular,
• 55:24
  gang rebounding has to happen.
• 55:26
  Everybody needs to crash the boards on
• 55:29
  defense.
• 55:32
  So I think once they lock in on
• 55:35
  the defensive side of things,
• 55:38
  The offensive side,
• 55:40
  we know what they can do.
• 55:41
  So there's no need to really discuss that
• 55:45
  part of it.
• 55:46
  It's just more so handle everything on the
• 55:48
  defensive end.
• 55:49
  And then after that,
• 55:53
  from an offensive standpoint,
• 55:56
  if you can stop the last second decisions
• 56:01
  as far as those late shot clock plays,
• 56:06
  and get into your offense and make sure
• 56:10
  that you're getting those, you know,
• 56:11
  getting those plays off a little bit
• 56:15
  earlier than normal so you don't have to
• 56:17
  resort to kicking it to Arike or kicking
• 56:20
  it to Paige and relying on them to
• 56:22
  get a bucket for you with five,
• 56:25
  you know, with five,
• 56:26
  six seconds on the shot clock like that.
• 56:28
  That'll help out a lot.
• 56:30
  So they're fine.
• 56:34
  I feel like they're fine.
• 56:36
  Again, once they get healthy again,
• 56:39
  I think they'll be good.
• 56:41
  When does Stacy and Jessica come back?
• 56:46
  Or did they come back tonight?
• 56:49
  No, I don't think they played tonight, no.
• 56:51
  No, they did.
• 56:51
  No.
• 56:53
  Yeah.
• 56:53
  But also, I mean, just real quick,
• 56:54
  back to the whole AZ thing.
• 56:56
  Like, I mean,
• 56:56
  obviously they missed a presence,
• 56:57
  especially scoring a basketball.
• 56:59
  But I think the one person that's, like,
• 57:02
  really feeling her absence is Paige.
• 57:05
  Because I feel like teams are more so
• 57:07
  dialing in are really...
• 57:09
  making page uncomfortable on the offensive
• 57:11
  end scoring the basketball obviously
• 57:12
  they're going to do it anyway because it's
• 57:13
  page but i think like when you don't
• 57:15
  have that extra shooter that extra sniper
• 57:17
  because i'll be real like the defense
• 57:18
  can't really dial in on page the way
• 57:20
  that they may want to when az is
• 57:21
  on the floor because that's another
• 57:23
  perimeter threat and az is a phenomenal
• 57:25
  shooter very consistent shooter so i think
• 57:28
  with az being out honestly like that's how
• 57:30
  i think that's why you know i think
• 57:31
  we've seen uh page um struggle to score
• 57:33
  the basketball i mean hell even in this
• 57:34
  game tonight against toronto like she was
• 57:35
  scoreless in the first half
• 57:37
  And I think you got to give credit
• 57:40
  to these teams for really dialing in and
• 57:41
  really making it difficult for her to
• 57:42
  score, honestly.
• 57:43
  Like even the game against Golden State,
• 57:45
  I don't think she shot the ball well.
• 57:47
  She shot pretty well against Minnesota,
• 57:48
  but obviously, you know,
• 57:49
  they still ended up losing that game.
• 57:50
  So I think that's one player that's really
• 57:52
  felt the absence of AZ's page just because
• 57:54
  of how much pressure AZ could take off
• 57:55
  of her as a decision maker and as
• 57:58
  a scorer.
• 57:59
  Cuz AZ been strapping, boy.
• 58:00
  That sucks.
• 58:02
  She's been playing some phenomenal
• 58:04
  defense.
• 58:04
  I still stand by how I felt about
• 58:07
  them picking her.
• 58:07
  I don't think that- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 58:11
  But she's been playing some good ball.
• 58:13
  I definitely,
• 58:14
  especially on the defensive side,
• 58:15
  she's been playing some good basketball.
• 58:17
  But yeah,
• 58:17
  I think we all agree Dallas is gonna
• 58:19
  be just fine, throwing pain there,
• 58:21
  figure that shit out.
• 58:22
  Especially when you get healthier things.
• 58:29
  What are you at, seven?
• 58:31
  Seven?
• 58:31
  I'm looking at the rest.
• 58:33
  Oh, there are seven.
• 58:35
  So luckily, them in New York,
• 58:38
  they're safe for the most part because
• 58:41
  Portland, you got Portland at nine,
• 58:44
  but they're at thirteen and nineteen.
• 58:46
  So unless Portland goes on some type of
• 58:48
  crazy run or any, we'll say...
• 58:54
  really any of these teams outside of
• 58:57
  Connecticut and Seattle,
• 58:59
  like if any of these teams just so
• 59:01
  happen to go on some crazy type run,
• 59:03
  then yeah, it'll be cause for concern.
• 59:05
  But right now for,
• 59:07
  for both Dallas and New York, they're,
• 59:12
  They're good for the most part,
• 59:13
  but both teams need to kind of turn
• 59:17
  it around a bit before the bottom fall
• 59:19
  out.
• 59:20
  I do think – I think the top
• 59:21
  – I think the playoff is kind of
• 59:23
  set.
• 59:23
  I don't think nobody is from nine to
• 59:25
  fifteen is catching – well,
• 59:27
  nine to fourteen because Seattle already
• 59:29
  been kind of eliminated.
• 59:30
  But I don't think nobody is catching
• 59:32
  nobody in the top eight at this point.
• 59:35
  When you look at the – yeah, Ty,
• 59:37
  like at this point,
• 59:38
  but –
• 59:40
  they're just pretty much fighting for
• 59:42
  position.
• 59:44
  I only say that because we saw what
• 59:47
  happened last year.
• 59:48
  What happened?
• 59:50
  With the Aces.
• 59:52
  Oh, yeah, but ain't nobody.
• 59:55
  Now, listen.
• 59:59
  I'm not saying that it's going to happen.
• 1:00:01
  I'm just saying anything is possible.
• 1:00:03
  Anything is possible,
• 1:00:04
  but I don't see none of them damn
• 1:00:05
  teams from Phoenix to Toronto doing none
• 1:00:08
  of that shit.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah.
• 1:00:10
  It's just crazy.
• 1:00:12
  It's crazy.
• 1:00:12
  I'm sitting over here laughing because I'm
• 1:00:13
  thinking to myself, like,
• 1:00:14
  y'all know how crazy it is for us
• 1:00:16
  to be sitting over here talking about how
• 1:00:18
  the Liberty are the fucking eighth seed?
• 1:00:19
  Yes.
• 1:00:20
  Like,
• 1:00:21
  they're literally fighting for a playoff
• 1:00:22
  spot right now.
• 1:00:23
  It's nuts.
• 1:00:23
  And I think you had them number one.
• 1:00:27
  I had them as the first seed.
• 1:00:28
  I had them over everybody.
• 1:00:30
  It's crazy to see how, like,
• 1:00:31
  things happen because I actually had
• 1:00:32
  Minnesota missing the playoffs this year.
• 1:00:34
  And they're the one seed.
• 1:00:36
  I had New York as the one seed,
• 1:00:37
  and now they're fighting for a playoff
• 1:00:39
  spot.
• 1:00:40
  It's just nuts.
• 1:00:41
  That really is nuts.
• 1:00:44
  Since we brought up the Aces, good, Ellie,
• 1:00:45
  by you,
• 1:00:47
  it's that time of year again where people
• 1:00:50
  are, you know,
• 1:00:53
  asking questions about the Aces.
• 1:00:56
  And I feel like we do this almost
• 1:00:57
  every year with them,
• 1:00:58
  especially in August.
• 1:00:59
  Like, what's going on with them?
• 1:01:02
  The Asians got,
• 1:01:04
  they had a rough road schedule.
• 1:01:05
  They had, you know, five roads straight.
• 1:01:07
  They went two and three,
• 1:01:08
  I believe it was.
• 1:01:09
  Who did they lose to?
• 1:01:11
  They lost to Chicago that first game.
• 1:01:13
  That was the city table game winner.
• 1:01:14
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:01:16
  Then they lost to Minnesota and then New
• 1:01:18
  York.
• 1:01:18
  But obviously, the New York game,
• 1:01:20
  they didn't play their top players.
• 1:01:21
  Yeah,
• 1:01:22
  we're going to let you get your shit
• 1:01:23
  off about that, too.
• 1:01:23
  We already know what you're talking about.
• 1:01:25
  We already know what time it is.
• 1:01:28
  But, you know,
• 1:01:29
  Are y'all worried about the Aces or just
• 1:01:32
  Rose schedule was just a lot for them?
• 1:01:35
  I'm not really worried, honestly.
• 1:01:38
  I'm not worried either.
• 1:01:39
  No, I'm saying like, I mean,
• 1:01:40
  obviously it's an improvement compared to
• 1:01:43
  last year because last year we didn't know
• 1:01:44
  what the hell was going on with this
• 1:01:45
  team.
• 1:01:45
  Absolutely.
• 1:01:46
  But I think they're fine, honestly.
• 1:01:47
  But also like with that whole scheduling,
• 1:01:49
  like the W got to do better.
• 1:01:51
  Like that was just disgusting how like you
• 1:01:53
  schedule a team on a back-to-back
• 1:01:56
  Plus,
• 1:01:56
  both of them being afternoon games within,
• 1:01:58
  like, twenty-three hours apart.
• 1:02:00
  Like, so there was really no rest time,
• 1:02:02
  no recovery time.
• 1:02:04
  Like,
• 1:02:04
  literally immediately after the Minnesota
• 1:02:06
  game,
• 1:02:06
  they had to get right on the plane,
• 1:02:07
  probably.
• 1:02:08
  Yeah.
• 1:02:08
  And head straight to New York, honestly,
• 1:02:09
  right?
• 1:02:09
  It seems that,
• 1:02:10
  or catch the plane the next morning.
• 1:02:11
  Yeah, it was definitely bad.
• 1:02:14
  I was saying, like, it should be worse,
• 1:02:15
  honestly, because, I mean, you just now,
• 1:02:17
  you're just landing,
• 1:02:17
  and you gotta go straight to the game?
• 1:02:19
  Like, damn.
• 1:02:20
  But, yeah, I mean,
• 1:02:20
  that was just disgusting, honestly.
• 1:02:23
  And, honestly, like,
• 1:02:24
  when you look at it from Becky's
• 1:02:25
  standpoint, like, I didn't, like,
• 1:02:26
  I wasn't mad at her at all for
• 1:02:27
  resting Asia, Jackie, and Chelsea,
• 1:02:29
  honestly.
• 1:02:30
  Because, I mean,
• 1:02:30
  at the end of the day, like,
• 1:02:31
  you got to get your rest.
• 1:02:33
  You got to get your recovery.
• 1:02:34
  Because, I mean, you got to think, like,
• 1:02:35
  we're down the stretch of the season now.
• 1:02:36
  So...
• 1:02:37
  You want to make sure that your best
• 1:02:38
  players are healthy and available for the
• 1:02:39
  playoffs,
• 1:02:40
  especially with a team like the Aces,
• 1:02:41
  who are a dynasty team that are looking
• 1:02:43
  to win their fourth title in the last
• 1:02:44
  five years.
• 1:02:45
  So you got to make sure everything's
• 1:02:46
  locked in, honestly.
• 1:02:47
  So I don't really blame it from that
• 1:02:49
  perspective.
• 1:02:51
  Now, I'll be real.
• 1:02:51
  I mean,
• 1:02:51
  when you look at the road trip as
• 1:02:52
  a whole,
• 1:02:54
  obviously that first game against Chicago,
• 1:02:56
  once again,
• 1:02:57
  I always talk about how the Aces seem
• 1:02:59
  to take the front of the gas in
• 1:03:00
  the fourth quarter.
• 1:03:00
  Especially against them for whatever
• 1:03:02
  reason.
• 1:03:03
  Exactly.
• 1:03:03
  Like, let Chicago come back.
• 1:03:05
  Sidney Taylor.
• 1:03:05
  Now, look,
• 1:03:05
  give credit to Sidney Taylor for hitting
• 1:03:07
  that game winner.
• 1:03:08
  But if you're the aces,
• 1:03:09
  you don't need to put yourself in
• 1:03:10
  situations like that.
• 1:03:11
  Luckily,
• 1:03:11
  they bounced back against Atlanta.
• 1:03:14
  But even that Indiana game was weird
• 1:03:16
  because they were down twenty.
• 1:03:18
  Then Jackie Young went crazy towards the
• 1:03:20
  end of the second quarter.
• 1:03:21
  Literally brought them back.
• 1:03:22
  I think, honestly,
• 1:03:23
  I want to say the Aces went on,
• 1:03:24
  like, a twenty-oh run.
• 1:03:25
  Like,
• 1:03:26
  from the second quarter to the third or
• 1:03:27
  something like that.
• 1:03:27
  Because Indiana just went scoreless,
• 1:03:29
  which is crazy.
• 1:03:29
  Because they were literally getting
• 1:03:31
  everything that they wanted.
• 1:03:32
  Yeah.
• 1:03:33
  But, luckily,
• 1:03:33
  they were able to win that game.
• 1:03:34
  Also, shout-out to the point guard.
• 1:03:35
  Like,
• 1:03:35
  y'all better stop playing with the point
• 1:03:36
  guard.
• 1:03:37
  Stop playing with her.
• 1:03:38
  Like, literally.
• 1:03:39
  Stop playing with her.
• 1:03:40
  Or the first clutch basket, the fourth OT,
• 1:03:43
  then the second one to win the game.
• 1:03:44
  Like,
• 1:03:44
  y'all stop playing with the point guard,
• 1:03:46
  man.
• 1:03:46
  Like,
• 1:03:46
  y'all be calling her Washington shit.
• 1:03:47
  Like, yo...
• 1:03:50
  Y'all really disgust me.
• 1:03:51
  But even in the Minnesota game,
• 1:03:55
  I didn't even sweat that one because it
• 1:03:58
  is crazy too because I even tweeted about
• 1:04:00
  this.
• 1:04:01
  I feel like Minnesota played their best
• 1:04:03
  basketball in the first half.
• 1:04:05
  And the Aces were,
• 1:04:06
  I ain't going to say they played bad,
• 1:04:07
  but they had moments where they were
• 1:04:08
  sloppy.
• 1:04:09
  But it was a four-point game at halftime.
• 1:04:12
  And I want to say Olivia had a
• 1:04:14
  strong first half.
• 1:04:15
  I think she had like Tony or maybe
• 1:04:16
  not Tony.
• 1:04:17
  Maybe not exactly Tony.
• 1:04:18
  But I know she had a really good
• 1:04:19
  first half.
• 1:04:22
  But obviously the second half, you know,
• 1:04:23
  Minnesota ended up pulling away.
• 1:04:25
  But even then I was like, you know,
• 1:04:26
  I'm not even going to sweat this loss
• 1:04:27
  because at the end of the day,
• 1:04:29
  They're playing on the back-to-back.
• 1:04:31
  The schedule is really a disadvantage for
• 1:04:33
  them.
• 1:04:33
  So I'm not even mad at them losing
• 1:04:34
  that game.
• 1:04:35
  And then obviously we saw them end up
• 1:04:38
  losing to New York,
• 1:04:39
  but then also rested all their starters.
• 1:04:40
  But to the main topic we can talk
• 1:04:42
  about to the New York game,
• 1:04:44
  We can talk about number five,
• 1:04:47
  which is Tenaya Latson.
• 1:04:50
  I try to tell y'all, man, look,
• 1:04:51
  at the end of the day.
• 1:04:53
  Go subscribe to that sub set because Nick
• 1:04:55
  put a good article out about her as
• 1:04:56
  well this week.
• 1:04:58
  Yes, absolutely.
• 1:04:58
  Put it out yesterday.
• 1:04:59
  Make sure y'all tap in with that.
• 1:05:00
  But this is what I say, man.
• 1:05:02
  Like with certain players,
• 1:05:03
  like everybody's journey is different.
• 1:05:05
  you know what i'm saying i mean obviously
• 1:05:07
  we were all we were all questioning how
• 1:05:09
  tania dropped to the second round because
• 1:05:11
  like i mean we already knew that when
• 1:05:12
  she went to south carolina her score
• 1:05:13
  numbers were going to drop but when you
• 1:05:15
  look at it from a top perspective she
• 1:05:16
  was still easily one of the top players
• 1:05:18
  in the draft if you ask me so
• 1:05:19
  her dropping to the second round that was
• 1:05:21
  obviously something that we never that we
• 1:05:24
  never uh that we never understood but at
• 1:05:27
  the same time as well like i thought
• 1:05:28
  her going to the sparse team especially
• 1:05:29
  with all the veterans that could benefit
• 1:05:30
  her but
• 1:05:32
  Obviously, Lynn Roberts had other plans,
• 1:05:34
  which is actually crazy because Tenaya
• 1:05:36
  played great in the preseason.
• 1:05:38
  Phenomenal in the preseason.
• 1:05:40
  So you would think like, damn,
• 1:05:40
  she's playing this well in the preseason.
• 1:05:42
  She's going to get some minutes.
• 1:05:44
  She's going to get playing time.
• 1:05:45
  And then they end up bringing Kate Martin
• 1:05:48
  out of nowhere.
• 1:05:48
  Oh, my God.
• 1:05:50
  And then also Chance Gray.
• 1:05:51
  Yeah.
• 1:05:52
  Then also Chance Gray got minutes as well.
• 1:05:54
  Then ultimately, Tanaya got waived.
• 1:05:56
  And I feel like her going to Vegas
• 1:05:58
  is just a perfect situation because I feel
• 1:06:00
  like even with her being here in this
• 1:06:02
  small amount of time,
• 1:06:03
  she fits with that culture, honestly.
• 1:06:05
  You can see her being able to...
• 1:06:08
  I don't know.
• 1:06:08
  I feel like she just meshes well with
• 1:06:10
  the Asias, the Chelseas, the Jackies,
• 1:06:12
  and all the other players.
• 1:06:13
  I just feel like she fits that culture
• 1:06:15
  perfectly.
• 1:06:16
  And on Sunday...
• 1:06:18
  Like, whenever, you know,
• 1:06:19
  the Aces rested their starters, like,
• 1:06:20
  that was her golden opportunity,
• 1:06:22
  and she took advantage of it.
• 1:06:23
  I mean,
• 1:06:23
  even though she did come off the bench,
• 1:06:24
  she still scored twenty points,
• 1:06:26
  shot six and nine from the floor,
• 1:06:27
  and I even tweeted this earlier, too,
• 1:06:29
  as well.
• 1:06:30
  Like, you can... What's that?
• 1:06:32
  I say efficient...
• 1:06:34
  yeah definitely efficient and like i even
• 1:06:36
  tweeted this after the game too i was
• 1:06:37
  like man like you can see how much
• 1:06:39
  tonight's game has grown and matured as an
• 1:06:42
  offensive player because honestly like i
• 1:06:45
  saw how patient she was with the
• 1:06:46
  basketball you don't say not settling you
• 1:06:48
  know finding high quality shots you know
• 1:06:50
  also making the right reads like i think
• 1:06:51
  she made like a a pass out to
• 1:06:53
  the perimeter for uh for a three-point
• 1:06:55
  shot then i also saw her make like
• 1:06:56
  a nice little dump pass to the list
• 1:06:57
  of smith so just being able to make
• 1:07:00
  the right decision with the ball in her
• 1:07:01
  hands was really impressive to me
• 1:07:03
  And I think I give, I'll be right,
• 1:07:04
  I give Josh Staley a lot of credit
• 1:07:06
  for that as well,
• 1:07:06
  because I think her playing with South
• 1:07:09
  Carolina, I mean,
• 1:07:09
  that's the thing is like,
• 1:07:11
  it was a difference, you know,
• 1:07:13
  system wise with her playing at Florida
• 1:07:14
  State and her playing at South Carolina.
• 1:07:17
  Like Florida State was more of a run
• 1:07:18
  and gun team.
• 1:07:19
  And that's why, you know,
• 1:07:19
  Tenaya was always scoring on the break,
• 1:07:21
  you know,
• 1:07:21
  getting a lot of easy transition baskets.
• 1:07:23
  But then you saw in South Carolina how
• 1:07:25
  they were more of a half-court team,
• 1:07:26
  especially with the talent that they had.
• 1:07:27
  Raven Johnson, Joyce Edwards, Medina Oko,
• 1:07:31
  Gotti.
• 1:07:32
  You talk about all those talented players
• 1:07:34
  that they had,
• 1:07:34
  and South Carolina was a more disciplined
• 1:07:37
  half-court team.
• 1:07:37
  And I think that Sanaya did a really
• 1:07:39
  great job adapting to that,
• 1:07:40
  and I think her learning from that.
• 1:07:42
  she was able to apply it even now
• 1:07:43
  the W honestly and even in the game
• 1:07:45
  last night against the Mystics like even
• 1:07:47
  in like the small I think she played
• 1:07:48
  ten minutes in that game but like even
• 1:07:50
  then like you saw the impact you know
• 1:07:51
  she knocked down a big three in the
• 1:07:53
  corner but then also was able to get
• 1:07:54
  defensive stops so I'll be real like the
• 1:07:56
  one thing that I'm loving about Tania is
• 1:07:58
  that she's taking advantage of the
• 1:07:59
  opportunity of the opportunity that's
• 1:08:01
  presented to her and I think I love
• 1:08:03
  how much the team is trusting her like
• 1:08:05
  Becky's trusting her the other players
• 1:08:07
  like Asia and others are trusting her so
• 1:08:09
  I
• 1:08:09
  It's really great to see, man.
• 1:08:10
  I mean, even despite the Aces, you know,
• 1:08:12
  dealing with their struggles over that
• 1:08:13
  road trip, like,
• 1:08:14
  that was probably the one, like, the one,
• 1:08:16
  like, shining point was, like,
• 1:08:17
  just being able to watch Tenaya shine.
• 1:08:18
  Yep.
• 1:08:20
  And we say all that to say we're
• 1:08:22
  not worried about the Aces at all.
• 1:08:26
  Like, they're just one team.
• 1:08:27
  We just know they have another gear that
• 1:08:29
  a lot of teams don't have.
• 1:08:31
  Like, they got a gear, like,
• 1:08:32
  this is going to turn it up.
• 1:08:35
  And also, I mean, just real quick too,
• 1:08:37
  another reason why I'm not really too
• 1:08:39
  concerned about the Aces is I ain't gonna
• 1:08:41
  lie, Jackie Young been on a heater.
• 1:08:43
  Heater.
• 1:08:43
  For the last couple of weeks, honestly,
• 1:08:45
  man.
• 1:08:45
  And I'll be real, like,
• 1:08:47
  one of the biggest things for Jackie to
• 1:08:48
  start the season was her consistency
• 1:08:50
  because obviously, you know,
• 1:08:51
  I think it was a struggle to start
• 1:08:52
  the year because remember she had that
• 1:08:53
  donut game against Atlanta.
• 1:08:55
  Then she had another donut game against
• 1:08:56
  Dallas.
• 1:08:57
  So it was really a struggle for her
• 1:08:59
  to find her footing to start the season.
• 1:09:00
  But now that she's figured it out,
• 1:09:02
  honestly,
• 1:09:03
  if she can carry over that same energy
• 1:09:04
  into the playoffs,
• 1:09:05
  And then you add that with Asia.
• 1:09:08
  And then, of course, you know,
• 1:09:08
  Chelsea coming alive.
• 1:09:09
  Like,
• 1:09:10
  it's going to be hard to beat this
• 1:09:11
  team, man.
• 1:09:12
  Well, my concern is never those three.
• 1:09:16
  Like, they know it.
• 1:09:18
  Yeah,
• 1:09:18
  they know what they're supposed to do.
• 1:09:20
  And it's more so the bench.
• 1:09:26
  If they can get more bench production...
• 1:09:30
  if they can get more bench production,
• 1:09:33
  I don't give a fuck who it's from,
• 1:09:34
  but if they can get more consistent bench
• 1:09:38
  production at the very least when they
• 1:09:42
  have to take Asia out and somebody's able
• 1:09:45
  to put the ball in the damn basket
• 1:09:48
  so she can get a breather,
• 1:09:51
  that's going to take Vegas where they need
• 1:09:54
  to be.
• 1:09:56
  And that's to another championship.
• 1:09:57
  But again, it
• 1:09:59
  that's something for Becky to figure out.
• 1:10:01
  Like, of course we're, we're excited for,
• 1:10:04
  for, uh, Tenaya.
• 1:10:06
  So hopefully she gets,
• 1:10:07
  she gets more playing time.
• 1:10:08
  But as far as for the rest,
• 1:10:10
  for the rest of the seed,
• 1:10:12
  somebody got to step,
• 1:10:13
  somebody got to step the fuck up.
• 1:10:15
  Yeah.
• 1:10:16
  Also,
• 1:10:16
  just one thing that I want to mention
• 1:10:17
  too, this is going back to last night.
• 1:10:20
  Um,
• 1:10:21
  Tenaya was in the game of the fourth
• 1:10:22
  quarter, you know, playing next to Jackie,
• 1:10:24
  Chelsea, Asia.
• 1:10:25
  And I think,
• 1:10:26
  I can't remember who else was on the
• 1:10:27
  floor with them, but, uh,
• 1:10:29
  I get it.
• 1:10:29
  I understand Jewel Lloyd is a veteran.
• 1:10:31
  I understand, you know,
• 1:10:32
  she's more established on his team.
• 1:10:34
  But just me, if I'm Becky,
• 1:10:37
  I'm not subbing Tanaya out for Jewel in
• 1:10:38
  that situation.
• 1:10:41
  I get it.
• 1:10:41
  I know that Tanaya's a rookie.
• 1:10:43
  I get all that.
• 1:10:45
  Tanaya was just playing too well for me.
• 1:10:47
  I'm sorry.
• 1:10:48
  Tanaya was just playing too well at that
• 1:10:49
  point for me.
• 1:10:52
  He came to the car somewhere mad at
• 1:10:53
  the motherfucker that Tanaya asked out
• 1:10:54
  there at a close in.
• 1:10:57
  Yeah.
• 1:11:00
  She over there authoring me like a
• 1:11:01
  motherfucker, bro.
• 1:11:02
  Mad as hell.
• 1:11:06
  She Trey on, what you call it,
• 1:11:08
  on Boys in the Hood.
• 1:11:09
  Yeah, right.
• 1:11:10
  She bad as hell.
• 1:11:11
  Swinging at the ass, bro.
• 1:11:12
  But no, Jewel has been playing bad.
• 1:11:13
  Like,
• 1:11:14
  that's generational decline right there
• 1:11:16
  going on with Jewel Lloyd, for sure.
• 1:11:18
  And it's like, I mean, that's the thing.
• 1:11:21
  I know that we touched on it last
• 1:11:22
  week, me, Wally, and Lo.
• 1:11:24
  But I'm just not understanding, though,
• 1:11:26
  because it's like,
• 1:11:28
  you getting wide open looks.
• 1:11:29
  That's the thing.
• 1:11:29
  Like, bro,
• 1:11:32
  you're playing next to the best player in
• 1:11:34
  the world.
• 1:11:36
  Yeah.
• 1:11:36
  And then on top of that,
• 1:11:37
  you got Jackie, you got Chelsea.
• 1:11:39
  You're not even a top three option in
• 1:11:41
  that lineup.
• 1:11:43
  no so and i get i know people
• 1:11:44
  like well jewel has always been like you
• 1:11:45
  know off the balls or cb she's always
• 1:11:47
  been like a shot creator this and this
• 1:11:48
  and this and now like i'm sorry but
• 1:11:50
  you gotta adapt it is a thing like
• 1:11:52
  when she got traded she should have that
• 1:11:54
  i'm saying like when she got traded to
• 1:11:55
  this team last year she should have
• 1:11:57
  already known what time it was as far
• 1:11:58
  as like what her role would be on
• 1:11:59
  this team you know i'm saying like all
• 1:12:00
  you gotta do is just knock down shots
• 1:12:01
  that's it that's all you gotta do but
• 1:12:02
  even so but even even with that being
• 1:12:07
  said
• 1:12:09
  when you're in with the second squad,
• 1:12:11
  that's your time to shine.
• 1:12:12
  Yeah.
• 1:12:14
  That's your time to shine.
• 1:12:16
  Go do the shit that you know that
• 1:12:18
  you've always done.
• 1:12:19
  But when she gets in with that second
• 1:12:21
  squad, she's doing it.
• 1:12:23
  She's still playing that reserve.
• 1:12:25
  Like, she's still playing reserve to me.
• 1:12:27
  And I'm like, yo, what are you doing?
• 1:12:29
  Get out there and go be the –
• 1:12:30
  I'm not – Say it.
• 1:12:37
  Go be the gold mamba that we know.
• 1:12:42
  The gold mamba.
• 1:12:43
  I ain't gonna lie, man.
• 1:12:45
  Rest in peace to our boy.
• 1:12:47
  Rest in peace to Kobe, but dog,
• 1:12:48
  everybody was giving the mamba name, boy.
• 1:12:51
  I'm about to say, you see,
• 1:12:52
  I didn't want to say it.
• 1:12:54
  Goddamn, man.
• 1:12:57
  Everybody a name, boy.
• 1:12:58
  Goddamn.
• 1:13:00
  Go ahead, boy.
• 1:13:01
  Yeah, go do that.
• 1:13:02
  Like Tiger said, ADK,
• 1:13:04
  ADK on hoping that playoff jewel shows up.
• 1:13:07
  Like,
• 1:13:12
  That's not good enough.
• 1:13:13
  That's not good enough at all.
• 1:13:14
  Yeah, Liz has been playing her ass off.
• 1:13:16
  I love that.
• 1:13:17
  She has.
• 1:13:20
  Come on, man.
• 1:13:23
  Hold up.
• 1:13:24
  Hey, real quick.
• 1:13:26
  Of course, Jeremy,
• 1:13:27
  stay with the questions.
• 1:13:31
  Okay.
• 1:13:31
  Do you guys think that Vegas needs to
• 1:13:33
  start prioritizing the young nucleus of
• 1:13:36
  Latsen
• 1:13:37
  Pesat.
• 1:13:38
  Is it Pesat?
• 1:13:40
  Yeah, Justine Pesat.
• 1:13:41
  Parker and Yamamoto.
• 1:13:44
  Ain't she kind of short?
• 1:13:50
  Yes.
• 1:13:51
  Yeah, she is.
• 1:13:51
  She was cashing threes last night.
• 1:13:53
  She can shoot, though.
• 1:13:54
  She can shoot.
• 1:13:55
  um i think at some point you brought
• 1:13:57
  you might have to lean on that young
• 1:14:01
  nucleus it's it's hard though like the
• 1:14:04
  reason why is because like yes they're
• 1:14:06
  young and they're providing a lot of great
• 1:14:07
  energy but this is still an aces team
• 1:14:09
  that needs that experience especially with
• 1:14:11
  them still being in contention so that's
• 1:14:13
  why it's kind of weird honestly because i
• 1:14:16
  do that was like i do love the
• 1:14:17
  production that they have given but
• 1:14:20
  in playoff situations like and that's the
• 1:14:22
  thing as well because it's like i know
• 1:14:23
  that we get on jewel's ass a lot
• 1:14:25
  but i mean we gotta admit like jewel
• 1:14:26
  did play a lot better in the playoffs
• 1:14:28
  last year especially the finals being able
• 1:14:29
  to knock down shots so it's like if
• 1:14:31
  you're becky you're gonna want to trust
• 1:14:33
  that probably a little bit more just
• 1:14:34
  because of like the situation that you're
• 1:14:36
  in as far as being a team that's
• 1:14:37
  trying to win another championship like
• 1:14:39
  and it's and it's it's one thing to
• 1:14:42
  provide good minutes in a regular season
• 1:14:45
  on a tuesday on a wednesday
• 1:14:48
  But it's a whole nother ball game when
• 1:14:51
  you got to close a series against a
• 1:14:54
  Cheryl Reeve defense.
• 1:14:56
  When you got to go against a,
• 1:14:57
  we talk crazy about Indiana,
• 1:14:59
  but a Stephanie White team.
• 1:15:01
  You got to close in the closing minutes
• 1:15:04
  to close a series.
• 1:15:05
  To close a series is the hardest damn
• 1:15:07
  thing to do is to win that last
• 1:15:09
  game.
• 1:15:10
  And- Yeah, we saw it last year.
• 1:15:13
  Yeah, we saw it last year.
• 1:15:14
  And Becky is not going-
• 1:15:17
  to be going with the young guns like
• 1:15:20
  that.
• 1:15:21
  A lot of coaches are not going to
• 1:15:23
  do that.
• 1:15:24
  Maybe one.
• 1:15:24
  You're going to get maybe one young player
• 1:15:27
  out the bunch,
• 1:15:27
  but you're just not going to get a
• 1:15:28
  whole crew of them that's going to get
• 1:15:30
  that.
• 1:15:30
  Because if you do,
• 1:15:32
  and they fuck up in a moment where
• 1:15:34
  you could have somebody else in,
• 1:15:36
  you're going to be thinking about that
• 1:15:38
  rotation.
• 1:15:40
  all fall.
• 1:15:43
  Until the camp,
• 1:15:44
  until you get back to the playoffs.
• 1:15:45
  You're going to be thinking about that
• 1:15:46
  shit if you lose a series because you
• 1:15:48
  had one of the men.
• 1:15:50
  They're just in a tough spot because they
• 1:15:51
  are a dynasty, pretty much.
• 1:15:53
  You've got the best player in the world,
• 1:15:56
  the GOAT to a lot of people,
• 1:15:58
  that you have a chance to win every
• 1:16:00
  year with twenty-two,
• 1:16:02
  and you've got Jackie and Chelsea.
• 1:16:04
  When you have good young players,
• 1:16:07
  that's cool,
• 1:16:08
  but
• 1:16:09
  It's just a hard spot to be in
• 1:16:11
  when you...
• 1:16:12
  It's not like they're out of the playoffs.
• 1:16:13
  Like, you're in it.
• 1:16:14
  They're the top three seed.
• 1:16:15
  So, they're trying to go back-to-back.
• 1:16:17
  So, it's a hard situation to be in,
• 1:16:19
  for sure.
• 1:16:19
  Right.
• 1:16:20
  And that's the thing, too.
• 1:16:20
  I mean, you know,
• 1:16:21
  especially with the young players,
• 1:16:22
  it's like...
• 1:16:23
  I give them a lot of credit because
• 1:16:24
  they have given, like, good production.
• 1:16:26
  But you can still see, like,
• 1:16:27
  there's areas in the game that they have
• 1:16:28
  to grow in, honestly.
• 1:16:29
  I mean, even for Tanaya, like,
• 1:16:30
  as good as Tanaya has been playing, like,
• 1:16:32
  there were certain moments where she
• 1:16:33
  wasn't in the right spot, you know,
• 1:16:34
  to catch the basketball.
• 1:16:35
  And that's why they ended up turning the
• 1:16:36
  ball over.
• 1:16:36
  So...
• 1:16:37
  It's just all about, you know,
• 1:16:38
  just continuing to grow and learn from
• 1:16:40
  your mistakes and then just continue to
• 1:16:43
  apply it, honestly.
• 1:16:43
  But you got to look at it too.
• 1:16:45
  I mean, of course,
• 1:16:45
  it's easy to play those players on a
• 1:16:47
  Tuesday night.
• 1:16:48
  I mean,
• 1:16:48
  even though the Mids are a good team,
• 1:16:50
  but I mean,
• 1:16:50
  this is still the regular season,
• 1:16:51
  but
• 1:16:52
  If this is playoff time and,
• 1:16:54
  you know what I'm saying?
• 1:16:55
  I mean, it's like you said, J.
• 1:16:56
  I mean,
• 1:16:56
  if we got to close out a series,
• 1:16:57
  I'm sorry, but they can't see the floor.
• 1:16:59
  They can't.
• 1:17:00
  You got to go get a defense.
• 1:17:02
  Hell no.
• 1:17:02
  Exactly.
• 1:17:03
  And then on top of that, I mean,
• 1:17:04
  in the playoffs, like, you already, like,
• 1:17:06
  shortened your rotation anyways.
• 1:17:07
  Already.
• 1:17:08
  Shorten your rotations.
• 1:17:10
  You're going to need somebody.
• 1:17:12
  A role player is going to step up.
• 1:17:13
  One of them probably will step up and
• 1:17:15
  do some big things.
• 1:17:16
  But to depend on that entire nucleus that
• 1:17:19
  you asked about,
• 1:17:20
  I just don't see that happening.
• 1:17:21
  I just don't.
• 1:17:23
  One of them will have to be a
• 1:17:25
  standout.
• 1:17:27
  That's the only way we see them get
• 1:17:30
  big playoff minutes.
• 1:17:32
  One of them has to be – somebody's
• 1:17:35
  going to have to really,
• 1:17:37
  really stand out and make big plays
• 1:17:39
  consistently going from here on out into
• 1:17:43
  the playoffs.
• 1:17:45
  I think you'll see more.
• 1:17:46
  I think next season for sure you're going
• 1:17:49
  to see that young –
• 1:17:51
  I saw that message,
• 1:17:52
  that I just don't want the Aces to
• 1:17:53
  end up like my Warriors.
• 1:17:54
  But the Orange just got old fast.
• 1:17:55
  I don't think, like Chelsea, yeah,
• 1:17:57
  she's older.
• 1:17:58
  But Jackie and Aja are still young.
• 1:18:00
  Like Aja just made her.
• 1:18:02
  Yeah, like they still, you know,
• 1:18:04
  they still young.
• 1:18:05
  But I think for next season,
• 1:18:07
  that young nucleus will get more and more
• 1:18:10
  roles.
• 1:18:10
  Dana played that role.
• 1:18:11
  Yeah,
• 1:18:12
  like Dana will be there for them again
• 1:18:15
  this year.
• 1:18:16
  for these for these playoffs so she's
• 1:18:18
  gonna have to she don't have no choice
• 1:18:20
  yeah she has yeah she has no choice
• 1:18:22
  but the young nucleus I see I think
• 1:18:24
  you'll see more and more for that like
• 1:18:26
  going through training camp and then the
• 1:18:28
  season did it for the playoffs but this
• 1:18:30
  year I don't I don't know I don't
• 1:18:31
  know I don't think they're gonna end up
• 1:18:33
  like the Warriors though I don't think I
• 1:18:36
  don't think they're gonna end up like the
• 1:18:37
  Warriors the Warriors made a lot of there
• 1:18:39
  was a lot of different mistakes in that
• 1:18:41
  that
• 1:18:42
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:18:43
  I think the Aces are developing players,
• 1:18:45
  but you got – when you're so top-heavy
• 1:18:46
  like that and got players – you got
• 1:18:49
  to go down with them.
• 1:18:50
  You're going to be – as a coach,
• 1:18:51
  you're going to be kicking yourself in the
• 1:18:53
  ass if you get Jackie or Chelsea on
• 1:18:56
  the damn bench because you had Barker and
• 1:19:00
  Passat on the damn floor.
• 1:19:02
  And they – I mean,
• 1:19:05
  they'll probably get some garbage minutes.
• 1:19:07
  You know, I don't mind that.
• 1:19:08
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:19:12
  Yeah,
• 1:19:13
  it's just that I would have lost my
• 1:19:14
  mind if when the Bulls and they run
• 1:19:18
  and they had some Dickie Simpkins on the
• 1:19:20
  floor and not Dennis Rodman in the clutch
• 1:19:24
  moments or Dickie Yen and not Tony Kukoc.
• 1:19:27
  Like it is certain stuff you're just not.
• 1:19:30
  Shout out to him.
• 1:19:31
  But it's just certain things you're just
• 1:19:33
  not going to do.
• 1:19:34
  I'm going down.
• 1:19:36
  As they say,
• 1:19:36
  I'm going as the ship go down.
• 1:19:38
  I'm playing as the ship go down.
• 1:19:39
  I'm not, I'm not.
• 1:19:43
  I'm not fucking around, but yeah.
• 1:19:45
  Before we close this segment out,
• 1:19:49
  so I know we talked about the Aces
• 1:19:52
  and that road stint that they just had.
• 1:19:56
  The Mystics have the same stint here
• 1:19:59
  coming up.
• 1:20:00
  They have a six-game road trip,
• 1:20:03
  road stretch, where they play Portland.
• 1:20:07
  Phoenix twice.
• 1:20:08
  And when I say twice,
• 1:20:09
  like back to back, like they play,
• 1:20:12
  I think it's like the,
• 1:20:15
  they play one day and then they play
• 1:20:16
  them again like a day or two later.
• 1:20:20
  I didn't worry about the damn Phoenix.
• 1:20:24
  Then they got the Sparks, Chicago,
• 1:20:26
  and Indiana.
• 1:20:29
  They should be able to win all them
• 1:20:30
  games, man.
• 1:20:30
  I'm sorry.
• 1:20:31
  Well, no,
• 1:20:32
  I'm just saying about the stretch.
• 1:20:33
  Yeah, I feel that, yeah.
• 1:20:34
  Are those all road games?
• 1:20:37
  All road games all in a row.
• 1:20:41
  So they'll go to Vegas on the thirteenth.
• 1:20:46
  Then they got two home games.
• 1:20:48
  They got two back-to-back home games.
• 1:20:51
  Then six games on the road.
• 1:20:53
  Oh, damn.
• 1:20:53
  So they going from Vegas, then home,
• 1:20:55
  then back on the road?
• 1:20:58
  Yup.
• 1:20:59
  Yup.
• 1:20:59
  So they go, they go Vegas,
• 1:21:02
  two games at home,
• 1:21:03
  six games on the road.
• 1:21:04
  Last two games at home.
• 1:21:09
  Well, damn.
• 1:21:10
  Yeah.
• 1:21:11
  That's a, that's a,
• 1:21:12
  that's a front office seat.
• 1:21:13
  That's a,
• 1:21:14
  that's a WNBA front office issue.
• 1:21:17
  That's almost like, that's almost like,
• 1:21:19
  um,
• 1:21:20
  That's almost like USC and the Big Ten,
• 1:21:22
  like going all the way East Coast and
• 1:21:24
  then coming back home for a game.
• 1:21:25
  They got to go back out.
• 1:21:27
  Yeah.
• 1:21:27
  It's crazy.
• 1:21:28
  Yeah.
• 1:21:30
  Definitely.
• 1:21:32
  Vegas on the fifteenth for who?
• 1:21:35
  Vegas?
• 1:21:36
  I think they play Minnesota on the
• 1:21:37
  fifteenth.
• 1:21:38
  Do they?
• 1:21:40
  I know they just played this past week.
• 1:21:42
  Yeah,
• 1:21:42
  they played Minnesota on the fifteenth on
• 1:21:44
  Saturday.
• 1:21:44
  Oh, shit.
• 1:21:44
  Damn.
• 1:21:45
  Was it going to be in Vegas or
• 1:21:47
  Minnesota?
• 1:21:48
  It's going to be in Vegas.
• 1:21:49
  Vegas.
• 1:21:50
  Yeah.
• 1:21:53
  So let's see.
• 1:21:55
  Anything else on that team, man?
• 1:21:56
  Anything else y'all want to say?
• 1:21:59
  Hold on.
• 1:22:00
  Tony, if you're still here,
• 1:22:01
  I think we're going to talk about the
• 1:22:02
  USA team next week when Lowe's back.
• 1:22:03
  I want to get her opinion on some
• 1:22:07
  of them teams that we're going to talk
• 1:22:08
  about.
• 1:22:08
  I want to talk about that squad without
• 1:22:10
  her.
• 1:22:11
  So be here for that.
• 1:22:12
  But go ahead, Nick.
• 1:22:15
  um i mean just back to the aces
• 1:22:16
  i mean it's like we said i mean
• 1:22:17
  i know that we talked about how the
• 1:22:18
  young players are probably not gonna get
• 1:22:19
  playing time in the postseason but these
• 1:22:22
  other role players like we said i mean
• 1:22:24
  of course we know that jackie asia and
• 1:22:27
  um chelsea you don't say they're very top
• 1:22:29
  heavy and we've seen them be able to
• 1:22:30
  carry this team in a lot of in
• 1:22:32
  a lot of pivotal moments but i'll be
• 1:22:34
  real like the other players got a
• 1:22:35
  stimulant too like what they do like like
• 1:22:37
  the one the one player the one role
• 1:22:39
  player that i'm not concerned about is
• 1:22:40
  data like i know that data is going
• 1:22:42
  to bring the effort
• 1:22:43
  Even if she's not scoring the basketball,
• 1:22:44
  she's going to be able to provide great
• 1:22:46
  perimeter defense, on-ball defense.
• 1:22:48
  So I'm never worried about Dana.
• 1:22:49
  It's the other players.
• 1:22:50
  Like, Jewel is one of them.
• 1:22:53
  Now they got Bree Turner.
• 1:22:54
  Of course, you know, Bree Turner,
• 1:22:55
  you know, of course,
• 1:22:55
  she's going to have to continue her
• 1:22:57
  high-level play.
• 1:23:00
  Who else is there?
• 1:23:01
  KB?
• 1:23:02
  Wow.
• 1:23:04
  Yeah.
• 1:23:06
  I ain't met a Vegas fan that like
• 1:23:07
  KB yet.
• 1:23:08
  Right.
• 1:23:12
  Yeah.
• 1:23:13
  God bless.
• 1:23:14
  God bless that because I ain't met a
• 1:23:17
  Vegas fan that said anything positive
• 1:23:19
  about her.
• 1:23:21
  I mean, okay, never mind.
• 1:23:23
  Let me not say nothing.
• 1:23:24
  Yeah, we're going for that,
• 1:23:25
  but I haven't thought about that yet.
• 1:23:27
  I ain't met one yet.
• 1:23:30
  Before we get to our favorite segment,
• 1:23:32
  Jeremy had a question earlier.
• 1:23:35
  God damn, what we got?
• 1:23:37
  Earlier, earlier.
• 1:23:38
  Fellas,

• 1:25:24
  but they got people who really...
• 1:25:26
  To even answer Jeremy's question,
• 1:25:28
  I'm trying to think of independent...
• 1:25:34
  I can't think of nobody.
• 1:25:37
  I'm not going to hold y'all, man.
• 1:25:41

• 1:25:42
  Like,

  this year for and i've mentioned this
• 1:25:45
  before earlier like in the middle before
• 1:25:47
  like the first month of the season i'd

• 1:26:03

  Lo is my answer.
• 1:26:13
  Our good sister will always be at the
• 1:26:15
  top of the list.

  But
• 1:26:33
  All right, you know what time.
• 1:26:33
  Let's get to our favorite segment.
• 1:26:35
  Get up out of here.
• 1:26:35
  We won't be two hours this time, love.
• 1:26:37
  We won't be two hours.

• 1:34:41
  And somebody said,
• 1:34:41
  did you hear about what I'm going to
• 1:34:43

• 1:34:48
  Yeah.
• 1:34:49
  I ain't trying that, dude, man.
• 1:34:50
  Y'all better stop that man alone.
• 1:34:52
  You ain't hear what happened to the last
• 1:34:54
  security guard?
• 1:34:55
  Right.

  I'm not fucking with Bam whatsoever, man.
• 1:35:05
  Shit.
• 1:35:05
  Shit.
• 1:35:06
  That man ain't from a little-ass town in
• 1:35:08
  South Carolina or some shit.
• 1:35:09
  He is a different type of strong.
• 1:35:13
  Not going to be able to do it.
• 1:35:19
  Not going to be able to do it.
• 1:35:23
  No, sir.
• 1:35:23
  Not me.
• 1:35:23
  That's it.
• 1:35:24
  Y'all going to fuck around and find out.
• 1:35:27
  What?
• 1:35:29
  Look, again, not me.
• 1:35:31
  And the way he talk about her lets
• 1:35:32
  me know that he not playing.
• 1:35:33
  I ain't gonna lie.
• 1:35:35
  He's a part of that little docu-series
• 1:35:37
  that ESPN did.
• 1:35:39
  I already watched the first episode.
• 1:35:40
  I gotta watch the rest of that shit.
• 1:35:41
  That's pretty good, honestly.
• 1:35:42
  I didn't think he was gonna be that
• 1:35:44
  active in it, but yeah, he's in there.
• 1:35:45
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:35:47
  I think I'm on, what, episode four?
• 1:35:49
  Yeah, the way he talk about her.
• 1:35:50
  I just finished episode four.
• 1:35:52
  Man,
• 1:35:52
  I'm gonna let him fight two people with
• 1:35:54
  the same.
• 1:35:55
  Listen, listen.
• 1:35:57
  Dog, I'm telling you.
• 1:35:59
  I don't want to find out.
• 1:36:01
  I don't ever want... No smoke.
• 1:36:05
  You can always tell by a man how
• 1:36:07
  you talk about his woman.
• 1:36:09
  You're not going to play around.
• 1:36:11
  You can tell he's not playing around.
• 1:36:13
  He's not with the shit.
• 1:36:16
  You know he probably see the shit.
• 1:36:18
  He know...
• 1:36:20
  How people feel about his woman.
• 1:36:23
  I mean, not to spoil it,
• 1:36:24
  but he does address that shit.
• 1:36:26
  I ain't going to lie.
• 1:36:27
  He does address it.
• 1:36:28
  Hold on.
• 1:36:32
  He address what?
• 1:36:34
  I'm talking about Bam addressing all the
• 1:36:35
  Asian haters and stuff.
• 1:36:38
  I can't wait to find out.
• 1:36:40
  I got to lock in on that shit
• 1:36:41
  for sure.
• 1:36:42
  I be always starting that shit late at
• 1:36:44
  night,
• 1:36:44
  and then I might as well go to
• 1:36:45
  TV watching my ass shit.
• 1:36:47
  Also, just real quick,
• 1:36:48
  y'all be proud of me, man.
• 1:36:49
  I just got Peacock, man,
• 1:36:51
  so I've been trying to watch a little
• 1:36:52
  bit of TV, man.
• 1:36:53
  Oh, my God.
• 1:36:54
  I just started Bel Air.
• 1:36:56
  It's actually pretty good.
• 1:36:57
  I ain't going to lie.
• 1:36:58
  Bel Air is solid.
• 1:37:01
  Man, it's so much damn TV, dog.
• 1:37:03
  It is.
• 1:37:05
  You're not the only person that hated
• 1:37:07
  Carlton off the jump.
• 1:37:09
  Nigga, I can't stand that motherfucker.
• 1:37:11
  Oh, my God.
• 1:37:12
  I'd be ready to fight that dude myself,
• 1:37:13
  bro.
• 1:37:14
  I did not finish that show.
• 1:37:15
  I think I watched the first season.
• 1:37:17
  I don't think I finished it.
• 1:37:18
  I think I'm about like,
• 1:37:19
  now I'm about like five episodes in,
• 1:37:21
  but it's pretty good so far.
• 1:37:22
  Peacock got underrated content.
• 1:37:26
  Apple TV got some of the best content,
• 1:37:28
  and they just don't promote that shit,
• 1:37:29
  bro.
• 1:37:29
  They got some of the best shows,
• 1:37:31
  but they just do not promote that shit.
• 1:37:33
  It's like,
• 1:37:34
  they wait for us to tell people.
• 1:37:37
  Right.

• 1:39:40
  I don't think we said anything crazy,
• 1:39:43
  though, either.
• 1:39:45
  No, we didn't.
• 1:39:46
  It's the fact that, of course,
• 1:39:48
  it was LSU, South Carolina.
• 1:39:50
  They were tight because South Carolina
• 1:39:53
  dust LSU off.
• 1:39:55
  And, of course, we talked about it.
• 1:39:57
  And they just didn't like the fact that
• 1:39:59
  we were talking about South Carolina
• 1:40:01
  beating LSU.
• 1:40:02
  Like, what else is new at this point?
• 1:40:04

• 1:40:05
