But man, how y'all doing, man,
3:43
before we get into these topics we got
3:45
this evening?
3:45
How y'all doing?
3:47
Ladies first.
3:48
Y'all already know how I am.
3:50
I'm blessed and black.
3:51
The two best things to be,
3:52
blessed and black.
3:54
You know.
3:54
You already know.
3:56
Another day above ground is a good day.
3:58
You know it.
3:59
You know it.
4:00
Even if it's hot as hell outside.
4:01
Who you telling?
4:02
And my air went out again.
4:06
Yeah, I'm sorry.
4:06
Listen,
4:07
I've been getting my ass kicked low-key.
4:11
But you know what?
4:12
I'm blessed.
4:12
I'm not going to even complain.
4:14
There's people in far worse situations
4:16
than I am.
4:17
So, God, I know you hear me.
4:18
I'm blessed.
4:18
I'm not complaining by any means.
4:20
Absolutely.
4:21
You've been like, man,
4:22
I've been getting my ass kicked.
4:23
But there's so many people who have been
4:24
getting their ass kicked who can't even
4:25
help themselves.
4:26
Listen,
4:26
I ain't sleeping outside in this heat,
4:27
so let me just go ahead and shut
4:29
up.
4:31
Speaking of that heat,
4:32
if I let y'all go,
4:32
speaking of this heat, listen, I never...
4:35
We all know how the police are,
4:37
and I never want police fucking with
4:39
people,
4:40
but you teenagers who be outside with
4:44
these hoodies and the hoods on your head,
4:47
you're just asking for the police to fuck
4:49
with you because what's wrong with you?
4:51
Take that shit off.
4:52
It is a hundred degrees outside.
4:54
Why you got that shit on, man?
4:56
Them most of the kids I be talking
4:58
about,
4:59
I did see some kid saying that he
5:02
has eczema and the sun irritates his skin.
5:06
So for people with special things going
5:09
on, cool.
5:10
But if you're just wearing it because I
5:13
guess it's a trend for young kids to
5:15
do that now, I really don't get that,
5:17
honestly.
5:18
Every time I see somebody with a hoodie
5:20
on in the summertime,
5:21
I literally think they're schizophrenic
5:23
every summertime.
5:24
What's wrong with that?
5:24
That's what I'm saying.
5:25
You just asking for somebody...
5:27
would have bashed the fuck with you at
5:28
that point.
5:29
And then y'all be in groups with hoodies
5:31
and jackets and shit on.
5:33
Nike checks at a hundred degrees.
5:35
It's crazy.
5:35
And a shysty.
5:37
I know that shit stink on the inside.
5:40
I know it stink.
5:42
Imagine when they get home and they take
5:44
their jacket off, brother.
5:45
Motherfuckers.
5:46
Musty as can be.
5:48
I'd be so hot.
5:50
I'd be so hot seeing kids outside like
5:52
that, dog.
5:53
I'd be so irritated.
5:55
So irritated, but
5:57
I just want to get it off my
5:58
chest, man.
6:00
That pisses me off.
6:01
Real quick,
6:01
I wonder what the purpose of it is.
6:04
That person was like, my ops.
6:06
I'm trying to hide from my ops.
6:09
You are in broad daylight.
6:10
Nigga, what are you talking about?
6:12
Like, man, you're hot, bro.
6:14
It's a hundred degrees.
6:15
Right, like, come on, man.
6:18
Like, this is...
6:21
It's getting really bad out here,
6:23
but I just want to get it off
6:24
my chest because it's hot again.
6:26
Okay, yep.
6:26
See?
6:27
They said it's really hot and worse.
6:30
It's humid, but I have a skin issue,
6:31
so I wear sweats, no hoodies.
6:33
Understandable.
6:34
That's understandable,
6:35
but I know for a fact a lot
6:38
of these young men I be seeing with
6:40
this shit on ain't got no damn skin
6:42
condition,
6:43
but I understand where you're coming from.
6:46
I understand that.
6:46
I definitely get that.
6:47
I definitely understand that, but
6:49
I feel like I could do pants more
6:50
than I could do with a hoodie and
6:51
it was hot outside.
6:53
Yeah, same.
6:55
A hoodie and like... Man,
6:58
but it is what it is.
7:01
Wiley, how you doing, man?
7:04
You know, had a long...
7:06
Had a very long weekend.
7:08
Rough... Kind of rough,
7:10
but in the same breath,
7:12
it was a very good weekend, so...
7:16
um had i went down to alabama because
7:20
one of my classmates that that i was
7:22
really you know really close with really
7:24
cool with he uh passed away the day
7:26
after his birthday which in which just so
7:30
happened to be his mom's birthday oh my
7:31
god that family man yeah my word but
7:36
uh
7:38
But, yeah, went home to Alabama and,
7:41
you know,
7:42
was a representative for our class,
7:45
one of the representatives for our class.
7:47
Our class, we're small,
7:50
but we damn sure showed up for the
7:52
most part.
7:54
And also,
7:56
I got to shout out my guy for
7:58
it.
7:59
Because he is definitely the only person
8:03
that will probably be able to do this.
8:06
Because for those that know about when it
8:09
comes to the state of Alabama,
8:11
either you are an Auburn fan or an
8:13
Alabama fan,
8:14
majority of our class are Alabama fans.
8:17
And our guy,
8:18
he was a big Auburn fan.
8:20
And we wore, as you can see,
8:22
my shirt that I'm wearing tonight.
8:25
It's orange, orange and blue.
8:27
And he had us wearing them orange at
8:31
this daggone, at this daggone funeral.
8:34
A lot of us was tight.
8:37
We was tight, but we did it.
8:39
We did it for our guys.
8:40
So I said, he, I said,
8:41
our boy Mark was the only person that
8:44
would be able to do that.
8:45
Yeah, man.
8:50
But other than that, man, other than that,
8:54
The rest of the weekend,
8:56
about as smooth as it can be.
8:58
I'm here, like Will said, above ground,
9:00
so I can't complain.
9:01
I hear that.
9:01
I hear that.
9:02
How about you, Nick?
9:05
I'm good, man.
9:05
It was a pretty good weekend.
9:07
Didn't really do much.
9:08
One of my homies had a birthday lunch
9:10
or whatever, so I went to that.
9:12
And outside of that, I was chilling.
9:13
I was watching Hov all three nights on
9:15
stream, so that was fun.
9:19
Are you fully moved in?
9:21
I'm fully moved in, yeah.
9:23
That's what's up.
9:24
Good deal.
9:25
Speaking of home,
9:26
my damn barber went out there.
9:28
Speaking of barbers, listen, man.
9:31
One person that can't go out of town
9:33
is a barber.
9:35
Okay?
9:37
When your barber tell you you're going out
9:39
of town, you be like,
9:41
what do you mean you're going out of
9:42
town?
9:43
But do they tell y'all like a week
9:44
or two ahead of time or is it
9:46
like last minute?
9:47
Yeah.
9:48
I hate last minute,
9:49
but you got to tell me.
9:50
Sometimes, like, what do they, you know,
9:52
I don't get my hair cut like that.
9:53
I don't, you know, I'm like a barber.
9:55
So, do they tell you, like,
9:56
is it normally, like,
9:57
they'll tell you last minute,
9:58
or is it like, hey,
9:59
I'm not going to be here next week,
10:00
so you might want to come get your
10:01
hair cut now?
10:02
Mine is cool,
10:03
so he'll tell us in advance,
10:05
but it's still, like, it's still a shock.
10:06
He'll be like, damn,
10:09
he just went out of town.
10:10
Yeah, I can't even just, you know,
10:11
tell him I need something done,
10:12
but other than that.
10:13
J-Lens, did you go?
10:16
I was going to say mine, mine's pretty,
10:18
uh, he's pretty on it.
10:20
Like he'll because his,
10:21
his appointment only.
10:22
So he'll check his calendar and then he'll
10:25
shoot us a text or, you know, he'll,
10:27
uh, ask us like the, the week prior,
10:30
Hey, I'm headed out of town.
10:33
We need to reschedule.
10:34
Yeah.
10:34
We need to reschedule.
10:35
Yeah.
10:36
I never ran at that problem.
10:37
It's crazy.
10:38
Yeah.
10:39
But yeah, I really run into it,
10:41
but it is what it is, but, um,
10:44
I had a good weekend.
10:45
If y'all follow me, no.
10:46
I randomly had a new dog over the
10:48
weekend.
10:51
That wasn't in the cards when Raina left
10:54
Saturday.
10:55
We didn't have a discussion about a dog,
10:57
and then by Saturday evening,
10:59
we had a dog.
11:00
It's been an eventful time in the Holloway
11:02
house.
11:02
Getting my basement back together.
11:06
I'll be out of my living room or
11:07
dining room soon because I'm tired of
11:12
this.
11:12
I like my area.
11:13
I'm just in here.
11:13
Everybody's in my face all the time, but
11:16
Look at the show started, man.
11:17
We've been rambling enough for y'all.
11:21
Hit the link tree for us, man.
11:22

11:36
I updated the link tree for other things
11:37
in there as well.
11:39
Check it out.
11:39
We appreciate y'all.
11:41
As y'all see,
11:43
We're going to start this show off talking
11:45
about the New York Liberty.
11:47
And it's probably time to talk about them,
11:50
even though they be winning games.
11:51
You know, they have good games,
11:52
but we just don't know.
11:55
And Nick put in the rundown.
11:57
It was a great question.
11:59
What is the New York Liberty identity?
12:02
Like they lost the last three games.
12:06
They lost to the Wings,
12:07
eighty eight to seventy seven.
12:09
They lost to the Lynx,
12:10
ninety to eighty five.
12:12
And then the tempo, ninety three,
12:13
ninety one.
12:14
Is that those three games right after the
12:17
commissioners come?
12:20
I think I played a couple of games
12:21
before that.
12:22
OK, but even in their wins.
12:25
Yeah.
12:25
In the wins,
12:26
we just don't know what's going on with
12:28
them.
12:29
And I know y'all be in the chat.
12:30
I've been seeing y'all on Twitter and
12:32
everything.
12:33
Tick tock talking about the Liberty.
12:34
So we got y'all today.
12:36
And Nick, since you posed the question,
12:38
man,
12:38
I'm going to hand it off to you.
12:40
What's going on with the damn New York
12:41
Liberty, man?
12:43
Chris DeMarco fucking up the vibes, man.
12:46
Right off the top.
12:48
I'm telling you.
12:50
I mean, think about it, man.
12:52
Like,
12:52
this is like the most the state of
12:54
New York has been up right now.
12:56
The Knicks just won the title.
12:57
Generation one, run.
12:58
Right.
12:59
Just won the title for the first time
13:00
in a little over half a century.
13:03
Jay-Z just sold out three nights in a
13:05
row.
13:05
New York is up right now.
13:07
Yeah.
13:07
You guys,
13:08
there's a guy called DeMarco out there
13:10
fucking up the vibes.
13:11
I'll be real.
13:11
Like, as talented as New York is,
13:14
and this is a team that,
13:16
with all the talent that we had that
13:17
we viewed as title contenders.
13:19
I mean, hell,
13:19
we saw them win a couple years ago.
13:21
And like I said,
13:22
they have the talent to do it.
13:23
But to say that this team does not
13:25
have an identity is absolutely crazy,
13:28
if you ask me.
13:30
And I know that people were very critical
13:33
of Sandy Brandello.
13:34
I didn't always agree with everything that
13:35
Sandy Brandello did.
13:37
But the one thing that I could say
13:38
is that she definitely always
13:40
put that team in position to potentially
13:42
win.
13:42
I mean, you know, you got to look,
13:43
I mean, the first year Stewie got there,
13:45
they got to the finals,
13:46
second year ended up eventually winning
13:48
the championship.
13:48
And I know that they lost in the
13:49
first round last year,
13:50
but you can point to a few reasons
13:52
why, honestly.
13:53
But Nigel Laney wasn't there last year.
13:56
But then also the players didn't really
13:57
play well either.
13:58
I think John Cole,
13:59
I think I read it off before on
14:00
one of the episodes,
14:01
John Cole shot like twenty five percent in
14:03
that first round series against Phoenix.
14:05
So now you're going this new direction.
14:07
Now you got Kristen Markle.
14:08
And I don't know.
14:09
Like,
14:10
I can't remember what he said in the
14:13
in his opening present when he first got
14:15
hired.
14:15
But I remember he said something like
14:16
related to like women and playing
14:18
basketball.
14:19
And I was like, you know,
14:20
you know much about it.
14:22
That's what I'm saying.
14:23
Yeah, he did.
14:23
Yeah.
14:24
And I'm like, I was looking.
14:25
I'm like,
14:26
I don't know how I feel about that.
14:28
And I think, honestly, like, you can tell,
14:29
like, this is his first time.
14:31
I'm sorry,
14:31
Jay Liz is on a thousand right now
14:33
on the channel.
14:34
I'm not even paying attention.
14:35
I'm sorry, Nick.
14:36
I'm weak, dog.
14:38
I'm weak.
14:38
He said weak.
14:40
The PVS logo with glasses is insane.
14:46
I forgot Jay Liz is a Liberty fan.
14:48
I forgot.
14:49
I be seeing Jay Liz on Twitter, boy,
14:51
during the game.
14:51
He be live tweeting.
14:52
He be mad as fuck, boy.
14:53
Go ahead.
14:54
I'm sorry.
14:56
Go ahead, Nick.
14:57
I can imagine.
14:58
Where did I stop at?
14:58
Oh, yeah.
14:59
So, yeah,
15:00
you can tell this is his first time.
15:02
cultured women honestly and I just think
15:05
like when you look at this team like
15:07
the decision making is just very
15:08
questionable honestly I'll start with this
15:10
here like and I understand that you guys
15:12
are trying to
15:13
you know, find an identity,
15:14
get on the right track.
15:15
But I was watching the game against
15:17
Toronto on Sunday,
15:18
and the starting lineup consisted of Don
15:20
Quayle, Stewie,
15:21
and Hanzu in the frontcourt.
15:24
You're starting three bigs for what?
15:27
Now, look, I get it.
15:29
Stewie can space.
15:31
Don Quayle can space the floor as well.
15:32
And we've seen, you know,
15:33
both of them be able to take on
15:35
ball handling opportunities.
15:36
And then, of course,
15:36
Hanzu is a very talented center in
15:38
herself.
15:39
But nah, bro.
15:41
Like that's that's just not going to get
15:42
the job done.
15:44
And number two is what's up with Benadryl
15:47
Laney Hamilton, bro?
15:49
Like we've been staying there for a while
15:51
now.
15:51
I mean,
15:51
this was a pivotal piece of that Liberty
15:53
team.
15:53
And, yeah,
15:54
she's not the all star caliber player next
15:56
to her, like other teammates like Sabrina,
15:57
Stewie and John Quill.
15:59
But she she's a part of that core
16:01
group that you have to have.
16:03
to compete for a title.
16:04
I mean, hell,
16:04
when you look back at twenty twenty four,
16:05
she played a huge role as far as
16:07
in winning the title,
16:08
especially on the defensive end,
16:09
whether she was playing against the aces
16:11
and in that semi semifinals or even in
16:14
the finals against Minnesota.
16:16
Like Benadryl,
16:16
he played a huge role in that championship
16:18
run.
16:19
And we saw how valuable she was last
16:21
year because when they didn't have her
16:22
last year, they really struggled as well,
16:24
especially losing in that first round
16:26
against Phoenix.
16:27
So now she comes back and she's fully
16:28
healthy and
16:29
Like I said, I understand that, you know,
16:31
the team is, you know,
16:32
not hasn't hasn't really found any
16:34
consistency, hasn't really found a rhythm.
16:36
So I understand you've got to make
16:37
adjustments.
16:37
And if you want to put Benaja Laney
16:39
in the second unit, I mean,
16:40
I don't necessarily agree with it.
16:41
But if you're going to put her in
16:42
the second unit,
16:43
you still got to give her like quality
16:44
minutes.
16:45
Hey,
16:45
I had a set up on my phone.
16:49
But I saw something where it was like.
16:53
But I just had five games where she's
16:54
played less than thirteen minutes.
16:57
Like, that's just absolutely disgusting,
16:59
honestly.
16:59
Like, and like I said, I mean,
17:00
if you want to have her, yeah,
17:02
she also has that as well.
17:04
And I get it,
17:05
you know what I'm saying?
17:06
Like, I love the play of Pauline Astier.
17:07
I think that, you know, coming in,
17:09
this is her first year with New York.
17:10
I thought that she was really good.
17:11
I thought she's been really good.
17:12
And I understand that Sabrina coming back
17:14
does shake up the rotation a little bit
17:15
because you got to have her in the
17:16
starting lineup.
17:17
But,
17:18
I don't know, man.
17:19
I mean,
17:19
Benaja is just way too important because
17:21
you're like,
17:21
when it comes to playoff time,
17:23
you're going to need a Benaja lady.
17:24
You know what I'm saying?
17:25
This team is going to need Benaja lane,
17:26
especially with her production of both
17:28
ends of the floor.
17:28
So if you can't get her quality minutes
17:30
now,
17:31
how are you going to get the best
17:33
production out of her come playoff time?
17:34
So that's my biggest question,
17:36
but just overall, I mean, look,
17:38
I know that it's still early.
17:39
I know that they're only about,
17:40
I know that there's still two games above
17:41
five hundred,
17:42
but it's been a struggle for the Liberty
17:44
to really find an identity and find a
17:46
consistency.
17:46
And that's,
17:47
Honestly, sad to see,
17:48
especially with a team with this much
17:49
talent.
17:50
Absolutely.
17:52
What you got, Lil?
17:54
A lot of people will probably say I'm
17:55
going to give them bail,
17:56
but I do think one of their main
17:58
issues is to start the season.
18:00
It's just a lot of lack of consistency
18:02
with their roster and just like the
18:04
overall lineups.
18:05
Because of injury.
18:06
I mean, Phoebus has missed times.
18:08
Satu has missed significant time.
18:10
Thirteen games.
18:11
I mean, she's only played thirteen games.
18:13
Sabrina has only played twelve games so
18:15
far and they've played twenty four total
18:17
games.
18:18
So she's literally missed half of the
18:19
games.
18:21
But even with that said,
18:22
I think the Liberty are still talented
18:24
enough to win some of these games that
18:26
they've lost.
18:27
And when you take a closer look at
18:28
their inconsistencies,
18:30
the things that stick out to me are
18:31
their offense is very stagnant.
18:34
Their offense efficiency has dipped,
18:36
especially during this losing streak.
18:38
I think a big part of that is
18:39
their lack of ball movement.
18:40
They're more of a read and react team.
18:43
versus like doing set plays.
18:45
So a lot of the times we see
18:48
them take contested jumpers,
18:49
difficult shots at the end of the shot
18:51
clock,
18:51
or you see Stewie or Sabrina just going
18:54
iso.
18:54
And I think the Liberty are the best
18:56
when they are moving the ball around,
18:57
letting multiple players get a touch
18:58
before they put it up.
19:00
I think another thing is their inability
19:02
to protect the ball.
19:03
They have a turnover issue.
19:04
Through twenty three, twenty four games,
19:06
they've committed three hundred and fifty
19:07
two turnovers.
19:08
That's about fifteen per game.
19:10
And in the last five games,
19:12
New York is ranked eleventh and opponent
19:13
points off of turnovers.
19:15
Another issue is they have slow starts
19:18
like they need to start games with more
19:19
urgency.
19:20
It seems like they always have to play
19:22
from behind, which is difficult to do,
19:25
especially when your team is already
19:26
banged up.
19:27
You know what I'm saying?
19:27
Like they find themselves fifteen points
19:30
behind going into halftime and then they
19:32
have to use all their efforts to try
19:34
to come back and then they can't they
19:35
don't end up closing the games.
19:37
And I think a big thing that a
19:38
lot of people aren't talking about is
19:39
their inconsistency in terms of defensive
19:42
intensity.
19:43
In the last five games,
19:44
they ranked tenth in defensive rating.
19:47
And, you know,
19:49
I think we need to really see more
19:52
from JJ and Sabrina,
19:53
especially during this time until everyone
19:55
kind of gets fully healthy.
19:57
And I know Sabrina is coming off an
19:59
injury.
20:00
However,
20:00
she's shooting career lows from long
20:02
distance,
20:02
only shooting twenty eight percent from
20:04
deep.
20:04
She's shooting thirty eight percent from
20:06
the field,
20:06
which is her second lowest percentage in
20:07
her career.
20:09
And she's only averaging thirteen points
20:10
per game,
20:11
which is also her lowest career scoring.
20:13
And again,
20:14
I do expect those numbers to go up
20:15
as she, you know,
20:17
plays in more games and gets the feel,
20:19
you know, gets back into a rhythm.
20:21
But like these numbers just aren't going
20:23
to cut it.
20:23
Her averaging thirteen points a game is
20:25
not going to make the Liberty contenders.
20:27
And then when you look at JJ,
20:28
when you look at her numbers,
20:29
they don't look bad.
20:30
I mean,
20:30
she's averaging fifteen points and nine
20:32
boards.
20:32
But I think she can do even more
20:34
for this team.
20:35
I've always referred to her as like the
20:36
X factor because when JJ is healthy,
20:40
she to me is one of the most
20:41
important pieces for, you know,
20:44
New York to succeed.
20:45
And it's not even healthy when JJ is
20:47
engaged.
20:48
That's the thing.
20:49
When JJ is engaged,
20:50
the Liberty is very hard to defend or
20:52
just hard to guard in general because she
20:54
dominates the mismatches when guards get
20:56
switched on to her in the post.
20:58
And that's the thing.
20:59
Get your ass in the post.
21:01
Like,
21:01
stop hanging out around a three-point
21:04
line.
21:04
We know you can make the three.
21:05
We know you can stretch the floor.
21:07
But take advantage of your length in the
21:09
post.
21:10
Again, she stretches the floor,
21:11
so that's another threat that she has.
21:13
And she's the anchor.
21:13
She should be the anchor on the defensive
21:16
end, especially on the defensive glass.
21:18
And, I mean,
21:19
I agree with Nick about everything he said
21:20
about DeMarco.
21:23
You know,
21:23
I see why the timeline blames him.
21:26
I've seen him.
21:28
The rotations are very concerning.
21:30
His inability to adjust on the fly is
21:32
concerning.
21:33
I've personally seen him throw out lineups
21:35
in the second unit that had poor spacing,
21:38
lacked ball movement.
21:38
But the thing that took me really aback
21:40
was when people have the hot hand,
21:42
he will literally bench them.
21:44
And I'm like, huh?
21:45
Like, you ride the hot hand.
21:46
Like, you're not benching them.
21:47
Like,
21:48
they need to be asking to come out
21:49
if they have a hot hand, right?
21:51
And you'll bench them,
21:51
and then when they come back in,
21:53
they're not hot anymore.
21:54
So I think that's a problem as well.
21:57
And we're talking about a guy who has
21:58
never coached women before.
21:59
At the end of the day,
22:01
it is basketball,
22:02
but he's never coached women before.
22:04
And you literally go from being an NBA
22:07
assistant coach to a head coach of one
22:09
of the premier teams in the WNBA and
22:11
don't have any experience coaching women.
22:13
I mean, to me,
22:14
that was just always a head-scratching
22:17
hire.
22:18
I'm not saying that he can't improve and
22:20
do better.
22:20
I think he probably –
22:22
Could be a decent coach, but, I mean,
22:23
he's off to a rough start.
22:24
And I think that it's a lot of
22:27
things to consider when you consider a new
22:29
coach, right?
22:30
Like, yes,
22:31
they brought most of the team back and
22:32
added some pieces in terms of Satu.
22:34
But the team is still learning new schemes
22:36
with a new coach after, you know,
22:38
Sandy got fired last year.
22:40
And so when you add a new coach
22:41
with new philosophies and schemes to a
22:44
team that's already dealing with injuries,
22:46
I think it's just a recipe for disaster.
22:48
And that's what we see.
22:48
We just see very inconsistent play.
22:50
To be honest,
22:51
the best thing that's coming out of the
22:53
Liberty are Pauline Astier and Stewie's
22:56
back like Stewie's playing at a high
22:57
level.
22:58
Outside of that,
22:59
like it's not really much to talk about.
23:02
And the team, regardless of injury or not,
23:04
the team is talented enough to win a
23:06
lot of these games that they've lost.
23:08
Now, am I concerned about New York?
23:10
I'm probably not as concerned as most
23:12
people are.
23:12
We're going to segue into Phoenix soon.
23:14
Like, I have no hope for them.
23:16
But New York,
23:17
I think that they'll still make the
23:17
playoffs.
23:18
And I think that, you know,
23:19
they still have a chance to compete.
23:21
Are they contenders?
23:22
I don't know.
23:22
When Satu comes back,
23:23
do I think it'll help them on both
23:25
ends of the floor?
23:25
I think it will.
23:28
But I'm very interested to see how they
23:29
look in the second half of the season.
23:31
Absolutely.
23:31
And you were talking about, like,
23:33
even though they're three and seven,
23:34
excuse me, in their last ten games,
23:36
the teams behind them,
23:38
I just don't think they're better than
23:39
them.
23:40
Maybe Toronto, but you got Portland,
23:43
Toronto, Phoenix, Chicago, Connecticut,
23:47
and Seattle behind New York at the AFC.
23:50
Anything like a game or have a game
23:52
ahead of Washington?
23:57
Washington is ahead of them.
23:58
Oh, my gosh.
23:59
I hope they won today.
24:02
Yeah, they won today.
24:03
Yeah, Washington is twelve and ten.
24:05
They got the seventh seed as we speak.
24:07
They're actually seventy three in the last
24:08
ten games.
24:11
Yeah, they've been hooping, dog.
24:12
It's crazy.
24:13
They really got to lose a little bit
24:14
more.
24:14
Not going to hold you.
24:15
Yeah.
24:17
But I know a lot of people are
24:18
mad about saying to get fired.
24:20
And the one thing when they did fire
24:23
her,
24:24
it definitely it can't it definitely came
24:25
across.
24:26
And I think he actually said GM Cobb
24:28
or Cobb, I say his name.
24:30
basically was saying, like,
24:31
she was going to get fired the year
24:32
before.
24:33
We just ended up winning the
24:34
championships.
24:34
Right, right.
24:35
She was basically, like,
24:36
dead woman walking at that point.
24:38
You know, with,
24:41
and I always understand you need a new
24:42
voice, but when you fire a coach,
24:45
you got to get the right one.
24:47
You know what I'm saying?
24:47
To come behind that coach.
24:49
So, it's just, it's very unfortunate and,
24:51
like,
24:53
This is what we all said when he
24:55
got hired by Liberty.
24:56
Like, man, why are they doing that?
24:57
Like, why are they picking somebody?
24:59
You're bringing somebody from the NBA,
25:01
never ever coached women before.
25:03
And it's like, man,
25:05
and you see what's going on.
25:07
You got new schemes.
25:09
You got players in and out of the
25:10
lineup.
25:10
Like you say, the rotation is bad.
25:12
So it's just rough.
25:13
But I'm not as concerned as everybody
25:15
else.
25:15
I know New Yorkers,
25:16
New York Liberty fans got super concerned.
25:20
I get it.
25:20
That's y'all squad.
25:21
On the outside looking in,
25:22
I still think y'all can still move up
25:25
in the standards.
25:26
Y'all can still be a top five team.
25:27
Like Lowe said,
25:28
I don't know if y'all contending for a
25:30
championship right now,
25:32
but I don't think they're going to miss
25:34
the playoffs or anything like that.
25:35
They just got to get this shit together.
25:37
Like y'all said, they're losing games.
25:39
They still should be winning.
25:41
Even with injuries.
25:42
Yeah, with injuries.
25:43
They should still be winning games.
25:45
why would they uh jeremy said why would
25:48
they going why they going to fire sandy
25:51
if they were number one seed in
25:53
I mean, listen,
25:54
Sandy had her things about her.
25:55
I'm not going to lie.
25:56
Y'all know I was on Sandy's ass too.
25:58
However, comma, like I agree.
26:01
Like the team literally just went to,
26:04
they won a finals and then, you know,
26:06
yes, they didn't do well in the playoffs,
26:09
but they were also injured as well.
26:11
So I think it was a little bit
26:12
premature.
26:14
And I don't think like when they fired
26:16
her like that,
26:17
I just knew that they already had a
26:18
backup plan.
26:19
I don't think they had a backup plan.
26:21
Yeah, I don't think – like,
26:22
to me – because to me,
26:24
this is – I don't know.
26:25
This was not the smartest backup plan.
26:27
And, again, it's still, you know,
26:29
halfway through the season,
26:30
they still have time to change it around.
26:32
We saw the Aces last year be complete
26:34
boo-boo in the first half of the season
26:36
and go on to win the title.
26:37
You'd be a nice time boo-boo.
26:38
They was just –
26:39
horrendous bet last year so we've seen
26:42
them play terribly in the first half of
26:43
the season and then come back and win
26:44
the championship so i'm not completely
26:47
shutting the door into liberty but i mean
26:49
they have some things that they need to
26:50
figure out for sure yep absolutely um nick
26:54
you guys think that's my liberty nick
26:58
where do you think i'm actually this where
27:00
do you think they're gonna end up in
27:01
the standings when playoff time comes
27:03
around
27:04
I think they can still finish top five.
27:06
I still think it's possible.
27:08
Yes, it's a struggle now, but, you know,
27:10
it's like Lowe said, I mean,
27:11
anything can happen, honestly.
27:12
I mean, you know,
27:12
they could come back from all-star break
27:14
and then somehow find a rhythm and then
27:16
go on a nice little winning streak.
27:17
I mean,
27:17
that's really all it takes for this team
27:19
is just, you know, build some momentum,
27:20
like get one game, they get another game,
27:22
you know what I'm saying?
27:23
Like try to find a way to slowly
27:24
build that chemistry and really get the
27:26
rotations right, find that consistency.
27:29
And, like, I mean, you know, I mean,
27:30
they got the talent to do it.
27:31
I mean,
27:32
Stewie's still playing at a high level.
27:33
I know that, you know,
27:34
we have our issues with John Quell,
27:38
but we all know, like,
27:39
the type of player that she's capable of
27:41
being.
27:42
Sabrina, you know, as she continues to,
27:44
like, you know, slowly, you know,
27:46
get back into the swing of things,
27:48
you know,
27:48
we'll see her playing at her best.
27:49
So they obviously have the talent,
27:51
but I'll be real.
27:53
I mean,
27:53
even though it is looking bad for New
27:54
York,
27:54
I think they're now with the AC right
27:56
now,
27:56
but I can still see them finishing at
27:58
least top five.
27:59
How about you, Lou?
28:00
What you think?
28:02
I would say I agree with Nick.
28:04
I think I would probably say like around
28:06
five or six.
28:08
Yeah, I think so as well.
28:09
They got too much talent, too.
28:10
But I think that's fair.
28:14
fair assessment for them for sure but
28:14
honestly i mean like just real quick like
28:16
even with the struggles like when you look
28:17
at it from a town perspective like i
28:19
still see new york is better than a
28:21
lot of teams honestly absolutely atlanta i
28:25
see them better than obviously even you
28:28
could throw indiana there as well even
28:30
though i think indiana is a really good
28:31
team uh who else you want to throw
28:33
in there uh mystics yeah definitely
28:36
mystics i'm trying to think of like the
28:37
top like contenders in the w
28:41
Yeah, I could say so.
28:43
Talent-wise, yeah.
28:43
What are y'all talking about?
28:44
Just solely talent?
28:46
Yeah, solely talent.
28:47
Oh, yeah.
28:47
Golden State, Vegas, and Minnesota.
28:51
I don't know why I'm questionable about
28:54
the Minnesota thing because I ain't got a
28:55
lot of Minnesota.
28:56
I mean,
28:56
they probably do got better talent,
28:58
but Minnesota is just a well-oiled
28:59
machine.
29:00
I mean,
29:00
because they have a good coach and they
29:04
have a good system where you can,
29:06
you know,
29:06
plug a player in and they just fit
29:08
into like, you know,
29:09
it's it's also because Cheryl's a great GM
29:12
and she's a great she knows how to
29:14
scout talent for what she's done for her
29:17
team,
29:17
like based on the system that they run.
29:19
so um i don't know talent wise talent
29:22
wise the liberty should be a lot better
29:24
than they are i mean they have great
29:26
they have good role players and you know
29:27
phoebage and johannes coming off the bench
29:31
um so they'll definitely make the playoffs
29:33
i would say that if they miss the
29:35
playoffs you got a fire buddy you might
29:39
have that that's the cause of from firing
29:41
if they were
29:42
They got to make the playoffs, man.
29:44
Oh, they got to.
29:45
They will.
29:46
They will.
29:46
They definitely will make the playoffs.
29:48
It would have to be the bottom would
29:50
just have to fall out for them to
29:52
miss the playoffs.
29:53
It would just have to be really bad.
29:54
I don't see that happening whatsoever.
29:56
Does New York have the worst coach in
29:58
the top eight?
30:02
Maybe, honestly.
30:03
Shit.
30:05
How y'all feel about the coach with
30:06
Washington?
30:07
I don't like him.
30:08
Sidney, I do question him sometimes,
30:12
but I don't hate Sidney.
30:14
I don't hate Sidney,
30:16
but I do question a lot of his
30:18
decision making.
30:18
But he's got this team playing well right
30:20
now.
30:20
He does.
30:21
But yeah,
30:21
I think that New York are going to
30:23
make the playoffs regardless.
30:23
So yeah.
30:26
But that's y'all.
30:28
New York talking for y'all.
30:29
I know we've been hinting at talking about
30:32
them, but it was finally time.
30:33
So, but
30:34
To the team, no,
30:36
that wasn't who knocked them out.
30:37
Who knocked them out last year?
30:38
Was it Phoenix?
30:39
It was Phoenix.
30:40
Yeah,
30:40
so to the team that knocked them out
30:42
last year are just horrendous.
30:45
When I saw Nick making the rundown,
30:47
I said, Nick,
30:47
we got to talk about the Murph.
30:49
It is time.
30:51
This is getting to be ridiculous.
30:53
Like, I know they're older.
30:54
I know Ka is about thirty-one, thirty-two.
30:58
A.T., about thirty-four.
31:01
D.B., thirty-eight.
31:02
I know they're older.
31:03
But there's no reason to be losing.
31:05
I know it's the Aces,
31:06
but there's no reason to be losing games
31:08
by forty-some points in the other games.
31:11
They just look bad out there.
31:13
And not to mention,
31:14
that's the same Aces team.
31:15
They beat by like forty on opening night.
31:17
Exactly.
31:18
They just look so bad.
31:20
They're eight and seventeen.
31:22
They average like eighty-three points.
31:24
They give up eighty-seven points a game.
31:29
They're just mid all across the board.
31:31
And I know
31:32
Old girl, I forget her name,
31:33
went back to Russia on them.
31:36
But that's still,
31:37
you still got three good.
31:38
Yeah,
31:39
you still got three good players that
31:41
y'all can build, like, play, use.
31:43
You know what I'm saying?
31:44
They're not bad players.
31:45
Like,
31:46
you shouldn't be eight and seventeen.
31:50
Like, that is uncalled for.
31:51
Especially when you brought most of the
31:53
team back from last year and y'all made
31:54
the finals.
31:56
Unacceptable.
31:57
Unacceptable.
31:59
Hey, I ain't gonna lie.
32:00
Asia might have fucked up that franchise
32:01
after game three.
32:02
Niggas ain't been the same since, dog.
32:06
But they haven't been the same.
32:08
Sent the whole family home and ruined the
32:10
franchise.
32:11
Like, it's just bad.
32:14
And then there'll be some games you see,
32:15
like, man, AT's really good.
32:16
You see games where...
32:18
Because when I was questioning Kauffman,
32:19
I see other people, too,
32:20
was questioning Kyle on the timeline.
32:23
And when she has some good games as
32:24
of late, but it's just not enough.
32:26
Like, the defense is bad.
32:27
The offense is...
32:28
Not good.
32:30
Like Lowe kept saying, they missed Satu.
32:32
Been saying it from game one.
32:35
You have.
32:37
Even when they blew out the Aces in
32:39
that first game, you've been saying it.
32:42
They missed Satu.
32:44
They just gave up on her.
32:47
That was a walking in the gym,
32:49
eight points a game.
32:51
Basically.
32:52
A player that you got to focus on,
32:54
you just can't be like, oh, no.
32:56
It is, Satu.
32:57
Even how you feel about her nickname,
32:59
how you feel about her being consistent,
33:01
you still got to pay attention to her.
33:03
And she still would have helped them.
33:04
She did a lot for them last year.
33:06
And honestly,
33:08
they was kind of hooping against the Aces
33:10
in the finals, and then she got hurt,
33:11
and it went downhill from there.
33:13
Like, they really couldn't do anything.
33:15
But I just don't know what they're going
33:17
to do.
33:18
I think I'm going to ask y'all this,
33:19
though.
33:20
Y'all think they need to blow it up?
33:22
Yes.
33:22
Okay.
33:23
Try to trade people at the deadline.
33:26
Yes.
33:26
Do you fire?
33:27
I don't think I'm going to make the
33:29
playoffs.
33:29
No way.
33:29
You fire Nate.
33:31
Do you fire Nate and you call up
33:33
Christy?
33:34
Because somebody's going to take her.
33:36
You got to fire Nate.
33:40
You got to go.
33:40
You got to fire him.
33:41
You do.
33:43
What do you think, Lowe?
33:45
I mean, I don't want to sound pessimistic,
33:47
but this season is a wash.
33:48
Like they're cooked, stick a fork in them.
33:50
They're done.
33:51
Like they are, they're cooked, bro.
33:52
Like, I mean,
33:53
I'd honestly think about tanking or
33:56
because they should be,
33:57
they won't be a top four pick because
33:59
they got to the finals last year.
34:00
And you know,
34:01
it's a combination of your last two
34:04
seasons.
34:05
So they could still get, you know,
34:07
a top five pick in a very good
34:08
draft.
34:10
So I would think about tanking or I
34:12
would either look to move Kyle or AT
34:14
for picks or
34:15
or for young talent to kind of rebuild?
34:17
Because, I mean,
34:19
what is the future of this team?
34:20
Dewana Bonner is about to be forty.
34:23
A.T.
34:23
is towards the end of her career.
34:26
I'm sure Kyle is going to go back
34:27
east as soon as Philly gets a team
34:29
and probably retire there.
34:30
So like what exactly is the direction of
34:33
the team?
34:34
I'm blowing it up and I'm starting over
34:36
like I'm blowing it up.
34:37
I'm on the phone right now and trying
34:38
to see who's going to take A.T.
34:40
I'm on the phone right now and seeing
34:41
who's going to take Kyle.
34:43
And A.T.
34:45
really needs to look in the mirror.
34:46
I'm not going to lie to you.
34:47
Like, granted,
34:49
her team isn't playing well, but baby,
34:51
you're not playing that great either.
34:53
You know what I'm saying?
34:54
And it's always like, don't get me wrong.
34:57
A.T.
34:57
has played at an MVP caliber for multiple
35:00
years in a row.
35:01
I'm never going to question her basketball
35:04
abilities.
35:05
But my issue is, as a leader,
35:07
your body language looks awful.
35:09
Your body language looks awful out there.
35:12
Like, I get losing sucks.
35:14
But, baby, you making bonehead plays, too.
35:16
Shoot, in the game yesterday,
35:18
her forcing the ball to Sammy Wickham,
35:20
and they couldn't even get off a shot
35:21
to try to tie the game.
35:23
You know what I'm saying?
35:24
Like, body language is terrible.
35:26
And then when people are holding her
35:27
accountable –
35:29
That body language is terrible.
35:30
It's even worse.
35:31
So it all starts with the head of
35:33
the snake.
35:35
But like I said, you know,
35:37
I know some people are probably going to
35:38
be like, you know, low.
35:39
They were twenty seven and seventeen last
35:41
year and made the finals like and
35:43
essentially bought everybody back except
35:45
Satu.
35:46
So why would you want to blow up
35:47
the team?
35:48
But I mean, like you said, Jay,
35:51
people don't understand Satu's effect and
35:53
impact on his team.
35:54
And I think the front office truly
35:56
underestimated how valuable she was to
35:58
this team.
35:59
She's a player that was giving you sixteen
36:01
and six last year.
36:02
But most importantly,
36:04
she provided another offensive threat in
36:06
regards to someone that can go create for
36:08
themselves and go get a bucket.
36:10
Letting her walk in free agency without
36:12
replacing her offensive output just
36:14
doesn't logically make sense to me.
36:16
And now you only have one player on
36:18
your roster with Kalia Copper that can go
36:20
out in the bucket.
36:21
And the worst part about that is we
36:23
know Ka is not always consistent.
36:26
So your one player that can go get
36:28
you a bucket is also inconsistent.
36:31
And then you have Kai and A.T.
36:33
who can get into the paint.
36:34
But when they pass it out for,
36:36
you know,
36:37
their teammates to shoot the ball,
36:39
they don't really have anyone on the
36:40
perimeter that's knocking down shots
36:41
consistently.
36:42
Now, I do think, you know,
36:44
Sammy Whitcomb coming back from injury,
36:46
that'll help them a lot.
36:47
It'll help them score more from long
36:50
distance.
36:51
But, I mean,
36:51
they just don't have the personnel.
36:55
The young lady that was a rookie,
36:58
she went back overseas.
37:00
West Belt is hurt.
37:02
So it's just like, to me,
37:03
they just don't have the personnel.
37:05
And also their defense.
37:07
Their defense has been terrible.
37:09
They came into this season expecting to
37:11
hang their hat on the defensive end,
37:12
like their whole identity and all that
37:14
Nate was talking about is they're going to
37:15
be a good defensive team.
37:16
And they've struggled rotating on
37:17
shooters.
37:18
They struggle containing dribble
37:20
penetration.
37:21
And they struggle to finish defensive
37:23
possessions with the rebounds,
37:24
giving the opponents, you know,
37:26
second chance points.
37:27
And I agree.
37:29
I think Nate is on the high seat.
37:30
Got to be.
37:33
He's not great at in-game adjustments.
37:35
There have been opponents where they've
37:38
extended runs before he would even call a
37:41
timeout or change coverages or alter the
37:44
lineups.
37:45
The rotations kind of are wonky sometimes.
37:48
Sometimes he doesn't have enough shooting
37:49
in there.
37:50
Sometimes he doesn't have the defense that
37:52
he needs in there.
37:53
But to be honest,
37:55
most of the blame is on the players
37:56
and the front office because sometimes
37:58
I don't understand how you let someone
37:59
like Satu walk and you don't replace that.
38:02
This roster is not a winning roster.
38:04
Like, A.T.
38:05
is a good player,
38:06
but she's the player that sets the table.
38:08
She's not going to be out there scoring
38:10
a lot of points.
38:11
She's the player that gets everyone
38:13
involved,
38:13
tells everyone where they need to go,
38:14
and brings you that physicality that your
38:16
team needs.
38:17
So the only true scorer on this team
38:18
is Ka.
38:19
So I don't know what they expected
38:21
was going to happen.
38:23
So again,
38:23
like I do think that Nate deserves some
38:26
of the, some of the blame for sure,
38:28
but he can't make, he,
38:29
he's not the one out there missing open
38:30
shots.
38:31
He's not the one out there turning the
38:32
ball over.
38:33
He's not the one out there controlling
38:35
injuries or the players that are available
38:36
for the team.
38:37
So that's what I got on them.
38:39
No, it's tough, and it's a hard watch,
38:44
too.
38:44
And then Nate,
38:46
I don't even know what he'd be talking
38:47
about in the press conference when I'd be
38:49
looking.
38:49
I'd be like, he just lost.
38:52
The players look defeated when they're
38:55
talking like you said.
38:56
So it's just, I don't even know.
38:58
And I think A.T.
38:58
making a lot of money.
38:59
I don't even know what you can trade
39:01
for her.
39:01
Same with Kyle.
39:02
I don't even know what you can get
39:04
back.
39:05
for those players.
39:07
Jalen said draft Hannah.
39:08
They're not going to get it.
39:09
They ain't going to do that.
39:10
The highest pick they'll get is a fifth
39:12
pick.
39:12
She's not falling to five.
39:13
She ain't.
39:14
I did see somebody say,
39:16
now Satu is hurting New York not playing.
39:17
I don't think Satu is really hurting New
39:19
York not playing because they're just
39:22
losing games.
39:23
But I definitely hear what you're saying
39:25
about Satu.
39:27
I know people saying,
39:28
I saw in the chat saying Satu not
39:31
being consistent.
39:33
listen that's still something she kind of
39:35
like stretched the floor for them last
39:36
year so now everything is really boxed in
39:39
it's a real boxing so it's just it's
39:41
just tough eight and seventeen that's a
39:43
hard that's a hard road like let's see
39:46
they are twelve and at eight and seventeen
39:51
You get a tempo on fire ahead of
39:53
you in the Sparks.
39:55
I don't think they're better than none of
39:56
those teams.
39:57
You got expansion teams.
39:59
You got expansion teams.
40:00
When you went to the finals last year,
40:02
like...
40:03
I didn't even think about that when I
40:04
was reading that off.
40:07
It's crazy.
40:09
Expansion teams are ahead of them,
40:11
so it's just bad.
40:12
Like,
40:12
they're four and six in the last team.
40:14
They lost their last four games.
40:16
Wiley put it in these notes for us.
40:19
They just...
40:21
Man, they are, let's see,
40:24
they are thirteenth out of fifteen in
40:27
pace,
40:27
and they still turn the ball over fourteen
40:29
times a game.
40:31
Like,
40:31
how you moving slow when you still turn
40:32
the ball over that much?
40:34
It's just,
40:35
it's really just bad over there.
40:37
I would like, if they do fire Nate,
40:39
which I think they will,
40:40
hopefully they give Chrissy the shot.
40:43
If not, she probably goes somewhere else,
40:45
but I see somebody hire black women.
40:47
I don't know.
40:49
It is, yeah.
40:53
Yeah.
40:53
Agreed.
40:54
I mean,
40:55
Paige did call it out the other night.
40:59
Let me just say something about that real
41:01
quick.
41:01
Can y'all stop asking Paige about black
41:03
shit?
41:06
I hate that too.
41:08
We know that Paige is an ally.
41:10
We love that about Paige,
41:12
but we don't always have to ask Paige
41:14
because we know where she stands.
41:15
That's not the issue.
41:16
She is a person that will stand up
41:19
and blatantly correct and up
41:22
left black women and I love that about
41:24
it but I'm a little bit tired of
41:26
people asking her about it like we know
41:28
where she stands we know her stepmom is
41:30
black her little brothers have black like
41:32
we know where she stays and we're grateful
41:34
for it but stop asking her that shit
41:36
please it's annoying media just be asking
41:39
do some real journalism
41:41
We're sick of these.
41:41
We got to ask you anything, bro.
41:43
Like, come on, man.
41:45
What did that have to do with anything?
41:48
Like, what?
41:50
Talk about how Dallas won ten games last
41:52
year,
41:52
and they're already at sixteen wins this
41:53
year.
41:54
Right.
41:54
Let's talk about that.
41:55
Why are we asking her about that?
41:57
They're on a five-game winning streak,
41:58
and you asking about that.
42:01
didn't even hear that question i'm glad
42:03
i'm with you i'm sick of them asking
42:05
her like we already know she's an ally
42:06
we've been we've we've known that for a
42:08
while now before she even get to the
42:10
league exactly yeah she did it like five
42:12
six years ago at the espy we already
42:14
know we we know this we know so
42:16
well we also we also said it we
42:18
also said it before the season started
42:20
about about the coaches we didn't know
42:23
there weren't any black women yeah yes
42:27
yeah it's uh
42:28
It's not a good look.
42:29
It's not a good look.
42:30
Ask Kathy.
42:31
Y'all know what she said when they asked
42:33
her.
42:34
She said it's good for the sport.
42:35
Yep.
42:36
And we ain't heard shit from her since
42:38
this whole Chelsea Gray shit.
42:40
And listen, speaking of Kathy,
42:43
I'm so glad Dan Patrick just he could
42:47
have tore her ass up even more,
42:48
but
42:49
not wanting to go on her show after
42:51
you agreed on it and the PR telling
42:52
her not to go on there.
42:53
Yeah, that's terrible.
42:55
Listen,
42:55
when you a commissioner of the league,
42:57
you are pretty much the face of the
42:58
league.
42:59
Yes.
43:00
You got to answer hard questions.
43:01
You got to know how to answer hard.
43:03
Like, this is literally your job.
43:05
This is your job.
43:06
Literally,
43:07
the description of your job is to be
43:09
the face of the league and, like,
43:11
when shit gets tough.
43:12
answer the hard questions because guess
43:13
what when the WNBA is booming and doing
43:16
well who do they give credit to Kathy
43:18
so now when people have questions about
43:20
certain stuff and again it is hard
43:21
questions right because especially because
43:23
of the way the world right now it's
43:24
hard questions for sure but this is what
43:26
you signed up for this is your job
43:29
so now that you're quiet we know what
43:31
side you stand on I mean we knew
43:33
that after that one interview what channel
43:35
was it on CNN I think it was
43:37
CNN when they asked her about racism
43:40
She had the perfect alley-oop to, like,
43:43
denounce that shit, and she fucked it up,
43:45
bro.
43:46
And Dan Patrick, before we move on,
43:48
Dan Patrick was real open.
43:49
He was like,
43:50
there's been times where Adam Silver or,
43:53
I forget the commissioner's name,
43:54
from MLB and Roger Goodell,
43:56
they will say no, but they wouldn't,
43:59
he said, he okay with you saying,
44:01
you okay with saying no,
44:02
but you're not gonna say yeah,
44:04
and then all of a sudden a PR
44:05
gonna say,
44:06
it's not a good idea for you to
44:07
go on there.
44:08
Are you insane?
44:08
Right.
44:10
you could but you gotta you gotta lie
44:11
you gotta make something up you gotta you
44:13
gotta lie you can't just say it's not
44:14
good i was crying when they had her
44:16
like in the video with day of passion
44:17
they had her playing golf yes that's what
44:19
i was about to say it's bad it's
44:20
it's it's that you know it's been plenty
44:28
of times why she should have been fired
44:30
but this right here could get her up
44:32
out of there
44:34
Rob Manfred.
44:34
That's right.
44:34
That's his name.
44:35
Rob Manfred.
44:36
From your lips to God's ears, please.
44:39
Please.
44:39
Get her out of here.
44:41
But let me stop because I'm supposed to
44:42
be going to All-Star.
44:43
I'm going to All-Star weekend.
44:45
I want my credentials to be snatched like
44:47
T.I.
44:47
Snatch, New News, Chain.
44:50
Yeah, that was just a bad look, man.
44:52
You want to leave the email quick, bro.
44:57
Unfortunately, you cannot.
45:00
But yeah,
45:00
I had to bring that up because I'm
45:02
a captain.
45:02
That was just
45:03
And I'm glad somebody did it.
45:04
Like,
45:04
someone like Dan Patrick is going to get
45:07
out there and is going to really hold
45:08
a lot of weight.
45:09
And she didn't even respond to that.
45:11
Like,
45:11
they didn't even put out a statement
45:12
today.
45:12
Yeah, like,
45:13
y'all looking terrible out there.
45:15
I don't know what's going over at the
45:16
WNBA office,
45:17
but it's not – that's not a good
45:19
look whatsoever.
45:20
It's cool.
45:21
Nneka will be there within the next five
45:22
years.
45:22
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
45:24
She deserves to.
45:25
She does.
45:27
Speaking of All-Star weekend,
45:29
we're going to talk about the hometown
45:31
team from –
45:32
From there, Chicago Sky,
45:36
they just can't close games, man.
45:39
Their record is seven and sixteen.
45:44
But every time, if you watch them play,
45:46
they'd be in the game late every damn
45:49
time.
45:49
Like, it's some blowouts here and there.
45:51
But they've lost four of the last five
45:53
games within single digits.
45:55
Like, they took,
45:56
even though Asia wasn't there,
45:57
they lost to the Aces in overtime twice.
46:02
Overtime,
46:02
they lost them one time in regulation.
46:05
They lost the finish where they should
46:06
have beat, the spark they could have beat,
46:08
Dallas they could have beat.
46:10
It's just – I just don't understand what's
46:13
going on.
46:14
And the same thing that happens is certain
46:16
things that goes right for them in the
46:18
first half, when that halftime comes,
46:21
it's like they just can't figure things
46:23
out.
46:23
And then with them late game situations,
46:26
they just –
46:28
They just lose the game.
46:29
I don't know what it is, Nick,
46:30
but I know you put it on the
46:32
rundown,
46:33
so I'm going to get to you first
46:34
about what you're seeing,
46:36
what you think is really going on with
46:37
them.
46:38
Outside of Rekia not being there,
46:41
we know that.
46:42
We're past that at this point,
46:44
but go ahead.
46:45
I mean,
46:46
when you look at the past couple games,
46:47
I mean, they faced the Sparks on Friday,
46:50
then they faced the Wings on Sunday.
46:52
They were in both of them games,
46:54
and at one point kind of had control.
46:56
I think the Sparks game was a little
46:57
bit of a back and forth.
46:58
But the game against Dallas,
47:00
they were in the lead, honestly,
47:01
especially in the third quarter.
47:02
I think they had a really strong start
47:04
to the third quarter to take the lead.
47:06
I think one of the biggest issues with
47:07
Chicago,
47:09
not even just in these past couple games,
47:10
but just in close games overall,
47:12
is that they just happen to take their
47:13
foot off the gas.
47:14
Like, you know what I'm saying?
47:15
They get too comfortable.
47:16
They build the momentum.
47:17
Now you got to find a way to
47:18
maintain that momentum and continue to
47:20
play at a high level on both ends.
47:21
Like when they faced the Sparks on Friday,
47:24
they got outscored twenty nine to
47:25
seventeen in the fourth quarter.
47:27
And I can't remember exactly if they were
47:28
leading heading into the fourth quarter or
47:29
not, but you know what I'm saying?
47:31
Like that was still a winnable game for
47:33
you guys.
47:33
If you guys would have been able to
47:34
keep that same energy down the stretch of
47:37
it.
47:37
But unfortunately that just hasn't
47:38
happened, honestly.
47:39
And it's almost like, I don't really know,
47:42
like what, I don't really know,
47:44
like who was the go-to player,
47:46
like to close the game, honestly.
47:48
Like, I think there's times where, like,
47:50
they try to force it on Natasha Cloud.
47:52
And I'll be honest,
47:53
Tasha be out of control way too much.
47:57
We were saying that when Rekia was there,
47:59
it was like, yo, she was just.
48:00
I'm like, who gave her this green light?
48:02
Exactly.
48:04
That was a play.
48:05
That was a play in the Dallas game.
48:06
I don't remember.
48:07
I can't remember if it was like the
48:08
third or fourth quarter.
48:09
But, like, she was on the break.
48:11
And then through this wild-ass pass to
48:13
Sydney Taylor on the left corner,
48:16
Sydney almost fucking dropped that shit
48:17
out of bounds.
48:17
She had to save that shit.
48:18
I'm like, damn, bro.
48:19
Like, you got to play more in control,
48:21
honestly.
48:22
But there's a few factors.
48:23
I mean, obviously,
48:24
Taj having the green light.
48:25
I'm not a hundred percent, like,
48:27
agreeance with that.
48:28
Um, also as well, like I do notice,
48:31
cause I'll be real.
48:31
Like, I think,
48:32
I think over the past couple of games,
48:33
Camilla started the game pretty strong,
48:35
honestly, I guess as far,
48:36
she started pretty, pretty strong.
48:38
I think in the Dallas game,
48:39
she had a double,
48:39
double a halftime or something like that,
48:40
or some,
48:41
some like maybe close to a double though.
48:42
I can't remember exactly.
48:44
but for some reason it's not the same
48:45
energy and you can, you can put some,
48:47
some of it on Camilla or you could
48:48
put some of it on,
48:49
like they're not getting her the ball
48:50
enough.
48:51
They're not getting her a lot of paint
48:52
touches that they really need to,
48:53
because when Camilla searches up,
48:55
especially like with,
48:57
with deep positioning, like she can score,
48:59
like she can score at a high level
49:00
inside, honestly.
49:01
So if you are Chicago,
49:03
you got to keep going to that because
49:04
like the thing about Rekia is that like,
49:06
you got to get her to ball to
49:07
continue to have her confidence up.
49:09
Because I feel like if you get her
49:10
to ball and you get her involved,
49:12
that's going to provide effort on the,
49:13
yeah, exactly.
49:14
I mean,
49:14
that's going to provide effort on the
49:15
defensive end as well.
49:16
So you're going to get the best out
49:17
of Camilla as long as you keep her
49:18
involved.
49:19
And I think her not being as much
49:21
involved in the second half,
49:22
I think that's what's kind of hurt him
49:23
as well.
49:24
Um,
49:25
Real quick,
49:25
I have a question about Camilla real
49:27
quick.
49:27
Do you think that,
49:29
because I've gone on record and said it
49:31
many times that I think Camilla has the
49:32
worst whistle in the entire WNBA.
49:34
Awful whistle.
49:35
Do you think that she starts off well
49:38
and then throughout the game is just so
49:40
physical and she's getting hacked that
49:41
she's just like disengaged because she's
49:44
like, fuck it, I'm getting hacked.
49:45
They're not calling it.
49:47
You know, I'm not engaged.
49:48
So maybe I'm not working hard to get
49:50
early post position or,
49:51
you know what I'm saying?
49:52
Like, do you think that's a factor?
49:54
i think that i think that's a huge
49:55
factor honestly because camilla is one of
49:57
those places where it's like when things
49:59
are not going well she's not going to
50:01
give the best effort honestly i mean i
50:02
think it's really a mental thing for her
50:04
so yeah that's one thing that's one thing
50:06
that she's gonna have to uh to really
50:07
learn is you know she gotta find a
50:08
way to play through it i mean we
50:09
all know that the officiating and the w
50:12
has been terrible this season i mean a
50:13
lot of people have bad wishes camilla is
50:15
one of them you can say asia is
50:17
another one of them like
50:19
You know,
50:19
there's a lot of players that got a
50:20
lot of bad whistles.
50:21
But if you're a player like Camila
50:23
Cardoso, especially one,
50:25
a player of her talent that could be
50:26
the focal point offensively,
50:27
like you got to find a way to
50:28
keep yourself engaged and find a way to
50:30
play through through the through through
50:32
the poor officiating.
50:33
So, I mean,
50:34
that's one of the biggest things,
50:35
honestly, man.
50:35
And I mean, as we all know,
50:37
I mean,
50:38
this season is pretty much a watch for
50:39
Chicago.
50:39
I mean, you know, we started off strong.
50:42
And obviously since the rookie injury,
50:43
everything has went bad.
50:45
And then, you know,
50:45
we don't know what scholar's future is
50:46
looking like, but with the sky,
50:48
I think she's missing another game.
50:50
Um,
50:50
so they said no timetable for her return.
50:53
Right.
50:53
But the thing about it is that like,
50:55
the one thing that I love is that
50:56
they still find ways to compete.
50:58
And I think, you know,
50:59
when they do show that togetherness,
51:01
they can play at the best.
51:02
I mean,
51:02
they still got a lot of high level
51:03
players like, um, Natasha Klaus,
51:05
Sydney Taylor, as a Ray Stevens, Camilla.
51:09
Even Courtney Vanderson coming back has
51:10
been really big for them, honestly.
51:12
So they have a lot of high caliber
51:14
players.
51:14
And when they do have that togetherness,
51:16
they can play effectively.
51:17
But it's just all about finding ways to
51:19
maintain that.
51:20
So I'm going to put it a combination
51:22
on them and Tyler as well.
51:23
I'm not going to tell off the hook
51:24
because I do feel like he has as
51:26
far as, you know,
51:26
really as far as really setting a game
51:28
plan for like down the stretch to be
51:30
able to allow them to win those games.
51:31
But.
51:32
I mean, at this point, it's like,
51:35
I mean, it's just a wrap for Chicago,
51:36
man.
51:37
And it sucks, honestly,
51:37
because this is a team that has some
51:39
pretty good expectations heading into the
51:41
season.
51:41
And then we're just seeing everything fall
51:43
apart.
51:44
But it's nothing new for Chicago at the
51:45
same time as well.
51:46
Yeah,
51:47
I was going to bring up as a
51:48
right.
51:50
Some guys should be kind of stinky,
51:51
but I think she's coming together.
51:52
I know she missed,
51:53
but it's it's just a bad comment.
51:56
I feel like.
51:57
Do you think.
51:58
They haven't recovered.
52:00
They do play hard, but losing over kids,
52:02
they still just have not found a pivot
52:06
from that, it seems like.
52:07
It just...
52:08
Honestly, I mean, not to cut you off,
52:11
though,
52:11
like that could have been your player to
52:13
go to down the stretch.
52:14
Absolutely.
52:15
That had to be the plan.
52:16
That had to be the plan.
52:16
Especially with how talented of a scorer
52:19
that she is, honestly.
52:20
I mean,
52:20
that could have been a player that you
52:22
could go to down the stretch to make
52:23
buckets.
52:23
And I feel like they're still trying to
52:24
find that, like,
52:25
one moment it could be Sydney Taylor,
52:27
another moment you put the ball in Natasha
52:29
Cloud's hands.
52:29
So it's really not a consistency as far
52:32
as, like, who is the leader, like,
52:34
down the stretch of this game or games.
52:35
Mm-hmm.
52:36
I mean,
52:36
it's kind of similar to Phoenix in regards
52:38
to like Phoenix only has Ka that can
52:41
go out and get a bucket.
52:42
And like, to be honest,
52:43
Chicago only has Sydney Taylor that can go
52:46
out and get a bucket.
52:47
Like, yes, you can go.
52:48
Yes,
52:48
you can pound the ball in a paint
52:50
to Camilla.
52:51
But it's very inconsistent, unfortunately.
52:54
And I think, you know,
52:56
Chicago just has struggled to replace
52:57
Rekia.
52:58
Her shot creation,
52:59
her athleticism on the wing.
53:00
her ability to score when the offensive
53:02
breaks down.
53:02
And I think that's the main thing.
53:04
When the offense breaks down and you just
53:06
have to make something out of nothing,
53:08
they don't have a player that can really
53:09
do that.
53:11
And when you think about it,
53:12
like Sloot has never been asked to be
53:14
a closer.
53:14
Natasha Cloud has never been positioned to
53:17
be a closer.
53:18
Azare, Camilla, Skyler,
53:20
none of these players that we're naming
53:21
all good veterans, you know,
53:23
aside from Camilla,
53:23
she's not a veteran yet.
53:25
But all good veterans that, you know,
53:27
add something to the team,
53:28
but they've never been in a position where
53:30
they're the best player on their team.
53:31
They've never been in a position where
53:32
they have to be the closer.
53:34
So this is new territory for all of
53:36
them.
53:37
And I think that I do appreciate this
53:40
guy in terms of still competing.
53:42
They're not just hanging their heads and
53:43
giving up.
53:44
Absolutely.
53:44
They kind of remind me of like the
53:46
Mystics a year or two ago where like
53:48
the Mystics weren't a good team,
53:50
but they could surprise you and beat some
53:52
teams because they were competitive for
53:54
the full forty minutes.
53:55
The issue is the sky just simply cannot
53:57
close out games and understand why they
54:00
don't have a closer.
54:01
I mean,
54:01
they're three and eight in clutch games
54:03
and clutch games are defined in, you know,
54:05
under five minutes in the final five
54:07
minutes being a five point game.
54:09
or within five points um but you know
54:12
they're at they're one of the worst in
54:14
the league at clutch game performances and
54:16
i think it's because of course their late
54:18
game offensive execution it's very
54:20
predictable you know when they're slowing
54:22
the ball down they're trying to get it
54:24
to camilla um and then if they don't
54:26
do that it's often a lot of iso
54:28
you have pull-ups from natasha cloud which
54:32
i don't think was ever her specialty i'm
54:34
not really sure like she's i'm gonna just
54:37
leave it at that
54:38
Um, but without, you know,
54:40
without her kids ability to create her
54:43
own, you know, offensively,
54:44
like they can load up on the ball
54:46
handlers because they know, Hey,
54:48
this team does not have a closer and
54:50
it puts more pressure on a rookie who
54:52
was in a very tough position because the
54:55
franchise is trash.
54:56
She's the only one that can go out
54:58
and get a bucket.
54:59
And at the end of the day,
55:00
she's still a rookie and she's starting,
55:01
you know what I'm saying?
55:03
Um,
55:04
And I think another thing is just overall
55:06
closing possessions.
55:08
Like,
55:09
several of their losses have come from
55:11
literally costly turnovers,
55:13
missed defensive rebounds,
55:14
or empty possession in the final minute.
55:16
So they'll play good for, like,
55:18
thirty-six minutes,
55:20
and then in the last four minutes just
55:21
completely act like they never played
55:22
basketball before.
55:23
The execution is just terrible.
55:25
And so...
55:27
Yes, Tyler deserves some of the blame.
55:30
But in late game execution,
55:33
I feel like that's more of a player
55:35
thing.
55:35
Like, you have to have that chemistry.
55:37
You have to be all on one accord.
55:38
Of course,
55:39
he has to be calling the right calls
55:40
and stuff like that.
55:41
But, like, them turning the ball over,
55:43
that's not a Tyler problem.
55:45
Them missing rebounds and giving the other
55:48
team another possession,
55:50
that's not a Tyler problem.
55:52
That's an effort problem.
55:54
That's an execution problem.
55:56
And that's just not being focused when you
55:58
need to be focused at the most important
56:00
part of the game.
56:01
So, I mean, I think Chicago's screwed.
56:04
I don't know where they go from here.
56:06
I'm not sure what they're going to do
56:07
with the Skyler situation.
56:09
But I do want to say this about
56:10
Skyler real quick.
56:13
Y'all don't know these women.
56:14
Y'all don't.
56:14
Y'all don't know them at all.
56:16
Y'all don't.
56:17
So I've been seeing a lot of people
56:18
saying Skylar quit on her team.
56:20
And granted,
56:20
do I know if she quit on her
56:21
team?
56:22
I don't know because I don't know her.
56:23
But I do know that before this stint,
56:26
she also missed game because of that same
56:28
knee.
56:28
She's been having this knee issue for a
56:30
while.
56:31
Now,
56:31
a lot of people are saying that she
56:33
is not deciding to play because they put
56:36
her on the bench.
56:37
That could be true.
56:38
I don't know.
56:39
But what I am going to say is
56:40
that...
56:41
With Skylar,
56:42
who is one of the most competitive people
56:44
that we've probably seen in the WNBA,
56:46
right?
56:47
If my knee isn't a hundred percent and
56:49
I know we are losing and I know
56:51
this is towards the end of my career,
56:54
I'm not playing either.
56:55
fuck I'm playing for for y'all to keep
56:57
losing?
56:58
The check is clear.
56:59
Why am I going to risk my health?
57:01
Why am I going to risk my health
57:02
when we're losing?
57:03
I'm just not.
57:05
We don't have the proper facilities for me
57:06
to get the proper treatment.
57:08
I'm literally at the end of my career.
57:10
I'm at the end of my career.
57:11
I'm not risking it to go out there
57:12
and lose.
57:13
I'm just not.
57:14
And maybe because I'm a sore loser,
57:16
that's why I think that way.
57:18
But I'm happy.
57:19
I'm a self-proclaimed sore loser.
57:21
I hate to lose.
57:22
I absolutely hate to lose at anything I
57:23
do.
57:24
So that's how I would be looking at
57:26
it.
57:26
Like,
57:27
because people are literally saying she's
57:29
not injured.
57:29
How the fuck do y'all know?
57:30
Yeah, I don't know.
57:32
How y'all gonna say she's not injured?
57:33
Like,
57:33
they're literally on the timeline saying,
57:34
like, oh, she just salted.
57:35
She went to the bench.
57:36
She's not injured.
57:37
Bro,
57:37
how do y'all know that lady not injured?
57:39
Y'all don't know.
57:40
And so I'm not going to be on
57:42
the timeline spewing.
57:43
Now, is she exaggerating it?
57:45
Maybe,
57:45
but that's not for me to call because
57:47
that's not my body.
57:48
Yeah, is she salty about being benched?
57:50
Probably, but she also is injured,
57:51
like you said.
57:53
Because Skylar's so competitive,
57:55
she's not going to be someone that's just
57:57
like, I'm not playing.
57:58
To me,
57:59
at least that's what I think about her.
58:00
Again, I don't know her, right?
58:02
And we're not talking indefinite.
58:03
Like,
58:03
people on the timeline talking like they
58:05
had a phone conversation.
58:09
Right.
58:09
Like, girl, y'all don't know that lady.
58:10
Like, I've seen so many tweets today.
58:12
And I literally was about to tweet, like,
58:15
y'all do realize that y'all only get a
58:17
part of the information and y'all don't
58:18
know these people?
58:19
Now, granted,
58:20
some people think that they're trying to
58:21
trade her.
58:23
I don't know about that.
58:24
I mean,
58:24
because the whole point of her coming to
58:26
Chicago was for her to get,
58:27
be closer to her family.
58:29
So I don't really know about that.
58:31
And I don't know where exactly she would
58:33
go.
58:33
I don't know if she want to uproot
58:34
her kids again.
58:35
Like I just don't know so many
58:36
uncertainties,
58:37
but I would also not be shocked if
58:39
they traded her.
58:40
If she's that unhappy and they're forcing
58:42
her to trade, you know what I'm saying?
58:43
So exactly.
58:44
Jalen says,
58:44
Scott should be hurting sometimes, man.
58:47
Listen, you wake up, your back hurt,
58:48
your neck hurt, your knee hurt.
58:49
I'm like, what the hell?
58:51
So, it's just a mess over in Chicago.
58:54
I get why the fans are mad that
58:56
she's not playing.
58:56
But, again, y'all don't know her.
58:58
It's not your body.
58:59
It's not your body, man.
59:01
It really isn't.
59:03
Jeremy,
59:03
do you guys think Dejanay will be traded
59:05
this season?
59:06
Oh.
59:08
Who wants her?
59:09
She didn't even play yet.
59:11
Yeah, she had today.
59:13
Was it today or yesterday?
59:15
She's saying she's getting closer.
59:17
Like, she's doing activities.
59:18
She's actually participating in practice.
59:22
I wouldn't call her right.
59:24
Honestly,
59:24
I wouldn't call this guy about her at
59:27
all because she ain't get on the court.
59:31
What you going to get for her?
59:32
You know what I'm saying?
59:37
You talking about Skyler?
59:38
No.
59:38
I don't know what you're going to get
59:40
for her.
59:40
She ain't been on the court at all.
59:42
i mean you would have to base it
59:43
off of like her production last year yes
59:48
but we've seen that you know she has
59:49
the injury that because when did she get
59:51
did she get injured like toward the end
59:53
of last year right before the playoff or
59:56
i think so yeah right like right before
59:58
the playoff started yeah so yeah so she's
1:00:01
going on like almost a year rehabbing his
1:00:03
injury or dealing with his injury yeah
1:00:05
Yeah, so, I don't know.
1:00:07
It's going to take time for her to
1:00:07
come back, too.
1:00:09
Yeah, it's tough.
1:00:10
Like,
1:00:10
just to get into the rhythm of things
1:00:12
once she's actually cleared to even start
1:00:14
playing.
1:00:15
It's tough going on right there.
1:00:17
Before we, like, you know,
1:00:18
close it out with the Sky,
1:00:22
we know how we take off with Tyler,
1:00:24
but y'all think he going to be back
1:00:26
next season?
1:00:28
I think it's about done.
1:00:29
I ain't going to lie to you.
1:00:31
I hate to see a black man lose
1:00:32
a job, but, yo, like,
1:00:35
It might be time to go in another
1:00:36
direction, honestly.
1:00:37
It's a tough shake.
1:00:39
Right.
1:00:40
And also, to these people,
1:00:43
because I see a lot of y'all talking
1:00:44
about something,
1:00:44
they should have never fired Teaspoon.
1:00:46
I told y'all they should have never fired
1:00:48
Teaspoon.
1:00:49
We told y'all that from the jump, yes.
1:00:52
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
1:00:52
They was all in my comments talking about,
1:00:54
oh, well, she wasn't good.
1:00:55
Oh, her adjustments, her rotation, this,
1:00:57
that, this, and that.
1:00:57
Like, okay, cool.
1:00:59
Teaspoon wasn't the perfect coach,
1:01:00
and I'll admit that.
1:01:01
But she still had them.
1:01:03
nearly making the playoffs like they were
1:01:05
about like a couple games from making the
1:01:06
playoffs actually and angel had a solid
1:01:09
rookie season uh kennedy you know saying
1:01:12
that was her first time back you know
1:01:13
after after missing a year in the league
1:01:15
she actually had a really strong season
1:01:16
camilla has strong moments like you know
1:01:19
like i said teaspoon obviously wasn't
1:01:20
perfect you gotta you know take this into
1:01:22
consideration it was her first year you
1:01:24
know coaching there
1:01:26
But I think she still did a pretty
1:01:27
decent job, honestly.
1:01:28
And now you go to Tyler.
1:01:29
And look, I mean,
1:01:30
I think Tyler's a great mind for
1:01:31
basketball.
1:01:32
I mean, we saw, you know,
1:01:32
what he was able to do in Vegas.
1:01:34
You know, they especially helped, like,
1:01:35
the development of Jackie Young and other
1:01:37
players.
1:01:38
But let's just be honest,
1:01:39
the franchise has gone downhill.
1:01:41
since he got there, honestly,
1:01:42
with all due respect.
1:01:43
And look, I mean,
1:01:44
a lot of it is out of his
1:01:44
control, honestly.
1:01:45
I mean, obviously the Rakia injury,
1:01:46
you can't control that.
1:01:48
You know, Angel being unhappy and,
1:01:50
you know, heading out.
1:01:51
I don't know if y'all want to put
1:01:52
that on him or not put that on
1:01:53
him.
1:01:54
But, I mean, just being honest, I mean,
1:01:56
since he got there, I mean,
1:01:57
the franchise hasn't moved in the best
1:01:59
direction.
1:02:00
Yes.
1:02:02
The one reason I can see him coming
1:02:04
back is because, like, Rakia and her,
1:02:08
the different injuries.
1:02:09
But to be honest, man,
1:02:12
Nothing's really going to change with this
1:02:13
guy, no matter what coach he gets.
1:02:15
It don't matter.
1:02:17
You can bring Sean Reed in there.
1:02:18
You can bring Sean Reed.
1:02:20
They're still not going to be great until
1:02:22
that front office changes.
1:02:24
Like, it just is what it is.
1:02:25
So, yes, even if Tyler gets fired,
1:02:27
guess what?
1:02:28
The next coach that comes in there,
1:02:29
Chicago's still going to be ass.
1:02:32
It doesn't matter.
1:02:33
They're going to have to get – and
1:02:35
if they do fire Tyler,
1:02:38
what they're going to do –
1:02:40
is what veteran coach is gonna come in
1:02:42
there it's gonna be another rookie coach
1:02:44
that's what i'm saying there's not many
1:02:46
like there's not many veteran coaches out
1:02:47
there yeah who gonna want to take that
1:02:49
job and that's that was that was the
1:02:52
one thing i didn't like about him even
1:02:53
taking the job i was like no matter
1:02:55
what happens he's gonna be the blame
1:02:58
period yep he always like even like being
1:03:05
being out being in the building last year
1:03:07
he just always looks sad
1:03:12
He just looked so sad,
1:03:13
and his press was like,
1:03:15
it would be like,
1:03:15
I don't even know what to ask him
1:03:17
no more, because they just... He said,
1:03:19
I don't even know what to ask him.
1:03:20
Right, because, like, last year,
1:03:22
they lost, like, what, ten,
1:03:24
eleven straight games?
1:03:25
Like,
1:03:25
what do you ask somebody the same shit
1:03:28
every time?
1:03:28
Right.
1:03:30
I don't even know what to ask this
1:03:31
man.
1:03:31
So it's just like, and then this year,
1:03:33
I know he probably felt like, man,
1:03:34
we got Rakia, we got Newtink, Azarese,
1:03:36
Skylar.
1:03:37
We looking good the first five games.
1:03:39
And then Rakia blows out her knee.
1:03:42
And then it's just down here from there
1:03:45
because we still have people hurt.
1:03:46
So I just, I feel for Tyler.
1:03:49
He always looks.
1:03:50
I feel for him, too.
1:03:51
I feel so – because he's a good
1:03:52
basketball mind.
1:03:53
It's just – He's great, man.
1:03:55
I don't know why he took this –
1:03:56
I mean, like,
1:03:57
I get that you wanted to take a
1:03:58
step and be a head coach.
1:04:00
Yeah.
1:04:00
But I just really don't understand why the
1:04:02
hell he would take this job.
1:04:04
Like, I get it.
1:04:04
Because of the angel.
1:04:05
Especially when you know how that front
1:04:07
office operates.
1:04:08
This ain't nothing new.
1:04:09
Yeah, it ain't nothing new.
1:04:10
They've been doing this for the last
1:04:11
decade, if not longer.
1:04:13
And listen,
1:04:15
after you fire a rookie coach like
1:04:17
Teaspoon, like we said,
1:04:18
she wasn't perfect because she was a
1:04:19
rookie coach.
1:04:20
But once you fire somebody out for that,
1:04:22
and people are going to have their,
1:04:25
you know,
1:04:25
think pieces of why they think Teaspoon
1:04:27
got fired.
1:04:27
If you wasn't there,
1:04:28
you don't know a hundred percent why she
1:04:30
got fired.
1:04:32
It's just, if you don't have intel,
1:04:34
which a lot of y'all don't have intel,
1:04:37
you can't say why not she got fired.
1:04:39
I mean, because what we know,
1:04:40
I think that, I mean,
1:04:41
you got to let her go.
1:04:43
yes but what stuff we know yes and
1:04:46
the stuff y'all be saying is not what
1:04:48
we it's not not even close yeah right
1:04:51
not even close to what it is but
1:04:53
it's like like i'll say when you see
1:04:55
tea spoon fire and of course the main
1:04:57
goal is the coach a lot of times
1:04:59
to be a head coach it's like do
1:05:01
i pass like do i work or chicago
1:05:05
you know what i'm saying so
1:05:08
I feel for the next coach because if
1:05:09
it ain't this season and they have another
1:05:11
bad season, Tyler's out of there.
1:05:13
He can't hang on.
1:05:14
Three bad seasons, you got to go.
1:05:17
He just needs to step down.
1:05:18
You know what I'm saying?
1:05:21
I really can't see them.
1:05:22
You know what?
1:05:23
I'll wait to somebody because I think it's
1:05:25
going to be a stain on his career.
1:05:26
That's the thing.
1:05:28
Another head coaching opportunity.
1:05:31
It is.
1:05:32
That's the thing.
1:05:34
I can't see them getting any better.
1:05:36
Be honest.
1:05:38
Maybe, you know,
1:05:38
with Rekia coming back next year,
1:05:40
they may show some improvements,
1:05:42
but I don't really see much of Chicago.
1:05:43
What is her contract?
1:05:44
I know she got traded, but is she...
1:05:47
I know she's still on her rookie deal.
1:05:49
I don't know how... Yeah,
1:05:49
so she should be up for an extension.
1:05:54
Possibly, yeah.
1:05:54
That's a bad... At this point,
1:05:57
if you're Chicago, you give it to her.
1:06:00
I mean,
1:06:00
but does she want it from now?
1:06:02
Yeah.
1:06:04
She gonna have to...
1:06:05
Tyler Gomez-Roddick will be an assistant
1:06:07
again, prove himself,
1:06:09
and then it just sucks.
1:06:11
I mean,
1:06:11
because there's nothing about Chicago that
1:06:13
would make me want to go play there.
1:06:16
If I'm one of the top, you know,
1:06:18
it's literally nothing there that would
1:06:20
make me want to go play there.
1:06:21
Like,
1:06:21
I really thought that with this roster...
1:06:23
that I didn't think that they would be
1:06:24
contenders,
1:06:25
but I thought that they would at least
1:06:27
compete and people want to actually like
1:06:30
see that, Hey, you know, they're trying,
1:06:31
it's turning around.
1:06:32
We got this facility that they're still
1:06:33
building it.
1:06:34
That's another story.
1:06:35
But yeah, like I thought, you know,
1:06:37
but boy, did I think wrong?
1:06:39
Yeah, we all did.
1:06:41
We all did, but...
1:06:42
You think Camila will ask for a trade
1:06:44
to be traded?
1:06:46
I don't think so.
1:06:47
Man, let me tell y'all something.
1:06:50
Camila's having fun in Chicago.
1:06:52
Let me tell you,
1:06:52
I was about to say...
1:06:54
She don't look like having fun on the
1:06:56
court, but I can tell you this.
1:06:57
She's having fun off the court.
1:07:00
I can tell you this.
1:07:02
Hey,
1:07:03
she ain't going to let a loss affect
1:07:04
her, baby.
1:07:05
She outside, man.
1:07:07
Matter of fact.
1:07:08
Hey, we outside win or lose, baby.
1:07:09
Yes.
1:07:10
Matter of fact,
1:07:10
that whole roster be out kicking.
1:07:12
They always on a boat somewhere.
1:07:14
They always outside, all of them.
1:07:16
We're at the bar.
1:07:16
Oh, yeah.
1:07:17
All right, man.
1:07:20
Hey, if you know, you know.
1:07:22
If you know, you know.
1:07:23
I know that ain't who I think it
1:07:33
is.
1:07:33
Wild.
1:07:33
Wild.
1:07:33
I know.
1:07:33
I know we're getting to everyone's
1:07:35
favorite segment.
1:07:36
I wanted to address two things before we
1:07:40
get to said segment.
1:07:41
Here come Big Brother Wiley.
1:07:44
Big Brother Wiley.
1:07:44
I'm crying.
1:07:45
I'm crying.
1:07:56
oh man that's a good that was good
1:08:04
that was good um let's start with asia
1:08:11
wilson um can y'all stop
1:08:15
Can y'all stop?
1:08:16
Y'all do this shit time and time again.
1:08:20
Y'all did the shit last year.
1:08:21
Y'all did the shit the year before.
1:08:23
Y'all probably did the shit the year
1:08:24
before that.
1:08:25
Yeah.
1:08:26
Can y'all stop trying to discredit Asia
1:08:29
with this MVP conversation?
1:08:31
Ain't nobody playing better than her right
1:08:32
now.
1:08:33
Like, what are we doing?
1:08:34
Yes, Olivia Miles is balling.
1:08:38
Yes.
1:08:39
She not Asian.
1:08:41
We love Olivia Miles.
1:08:46
Y'all, we done seen fucking Marina Mabry.
1:08:52
I was about to say that.
1:08:53
That person said it to me.
1:08:55
I was hot.
1:08:58
I was like, what?
1:09:01
She's had some moments.
1:09:02
Don't get me wrong.
1:09:03
They saw Marina put a fifty-something and
1:09:05
said, MVP.
1:09:08
Right.
1:09:08
Every time somebody has a great game,
1:09:11
y'all quick to throw them in the MVP
1:09:13
conversation and be like, yo,
1:09:16
I just watch Asia miss, what, two,
1:09:18
three games,
1:09:19
and come back and drop thirty off the
1:09:21
rip.
1:09:22
Thirty point, thirty, yeah,
1:09:24
thirty point double-double.
1:09:26
And then twenty-one and fifteen and
1:09:28
twenty-five minutes the next game.
1:09:30
Right, like, what the hell are we doing?
1:09:33
That's the thing, I mean,
1:09:33
even in that Indiana game,
1:09:34
people said she had a bag and she
1:09:36
still had twenty and twelve.
1:09:37
That's a pretty good game.
1:09:41
Like, literally,
1:09:41
that's some people's career highs.
1:09:43
Like, you know what I'm saying?
1:09:44
Like,
1:09:45
But it's, and even with that Indiana game,
1:09:50
like they were just getting their ass bust
1:09:53
on defense.
1:09:54
It happens.
1:09:56
That happens.
1:09:56
That's basketball.
1:09:57
It is what it is.
1:09:57
But overall,
1:09:59
because I had to address somebody on
1:10:01
Twitter.
1:10:03
I had to address somebody on Twitter this
1:10:05
morning.
1:10:05
I was like, mind you,
1:10:07
y'all do this shit every time.
1:10:08
They do every year.
1:10:10
It's always a new player every week.
1:10:12
Every week is a new player.
1:10:13
Look,
1:10:13
had to put my girl up there with
1:10:15
the stiff one.
1:10:15
Now, mind you,
1:10:17
y'all do this shit every time.
1:10:19
So I just want to say,
1:10:21
can we please stop and let the rest
1:10:25
of the season.
1:10:27
We almost at the all-star break.
1:10:29
Let's just take this on into the all-star
1:10:32
break.
1:10:34
regroup and finish the rest of the season.
1:10:37
How about that?
1:10:38
If we're keeping it a buck,
1:10:39
I think Paige has kind of played herself
1:10:42
into the second place in terms of MVP
1:10:45
voting if we're keeping it a buck.
1:10:47
I got Asia, I got Paige,
1:10:53
and then I got Olivia Miles.
1:10:57
I'm not mad at it.
1:11:00
I like it.
1:11:00
I like it.
1:11:01
I just don't want...
1:11:02
People, in all sports, people do this,
1:11:05
man.
1:11:05
How y'all be tired of greatness?
1:11:09
I don't get it either.
1:11:10
I really don't get it either.
1:11:11
Y'all just sit back and be like, man,
1:11:13
that person.
1:11:14
And you appreciate it ten,
1:11:17
fifteen years later.
1:11:18
Right.
1:11:21
What?
1:11:21
I just posted a video on TikTok,
1:11:23
I think two days ago.
1:11:24
But I be hyped because I'm like,
1:11:25
I'm so grateful that I'm alive during this
1:11:28
time.
1:11:28
Like,
1:11:28
we're literally watching the best WNBA
1:11:31
player of all time, essentially.
1:11:34
In her prime, bro.
1:11:35
Like,
1:11:36
we're literally in a position that we can
1:11:39
watch it live where we don't have to
1:11:40
go back fifteen years from now and be
1:11:41
like, damn, I ain't get to see it.
1:11:43
Like,
1:11:43
we're literally watching this live and
1:11:45
y'all still ungrateful.
1:11:46
Like, people are just ungrateful as hell.
1:11:49
Like, how do you hate greatness?
1:11:50
Like, I just don't get it.
1:11:52
Like, this is someone whose mom...
1:11:54
Hold on, wait real quick.
1:11:54
This is someone whose mom literally said
1:11:56
she sucked.
1:11:58
She was not good.
1:11:59
You know what I'm saying?
1:12:00
Her dad went on record and said the
1:12:02
same thing.
1:12:02
Like,
1:12:03
I had to have a conversation with Asia.
1:12:04
Like, you got to decide.
1:12:06
Are you going to keep handing out water
1:12:07
bottles to your teammates?
1:12:08
Because if so,
1:12:09
we're not paying for you to play
1:12:10
basketball.
1:12:11
You got to be serious about it, right?
1:12:13
This is someone who wasn't good when she
1:12:15
initially started playing,
1:12:16
and now we're having her in conversations
1:12:18
as the greatest ever.
1:12:19
Like, how are y'all sick of that?
1:12:23
Like, how?
1:12:24
People don't like to watch people be great
1:12:26
whatsoever, man.
1:12:28
It's weird.
1:12:30
People are being so quick to hate on
1:12:32
somebody great no matter what sport it is.
1:12:35
Right, yeah.
1:12:38
I think the reason is a lot of
1:12:41
these fans are younger than us.
1:12:48
to exclude our guy Nick.
1:12:50
A lot of these fans are younger than
1:12:51
us and they've lived this participation
1:12:56
trophy life.
1:12:59
That's true.
1:12:59
That is very true.
1:13:01
We can't keep giving it to the person
1:13:03
who's actually the best player
1:13:06
that's out here,
1:13:07
we got to let somebody else win.
1:13:10
Well, no, fuck that.
1:13:12
You got to go be better.
1:13:13
Go be better.
1:13:14
But it's just dumb as hell because now
1:13:16
you're like, oh, well,
1:13:16
this person should get a turn.
1:13:17
Fuck no.
1:13:20
Sorry you were born at the same time
1:13:22
as Asia.
1:13:23
Right.
1:13:23
I hate that.
1:13:29
And I hate that.
1:13:31
And that's the thing,
1:13:32
before we get off to that,
1:13:33
I know you got another thing you want
1:13:34
to bring up, Wiley.
1:13:35
That's the thing with media,
1:13:39
and I say media because, I mean,
1:13:40
we're essentially the enemy,
1:13:41
but people have a vote.
1:13:43
They vote with their feelings.
1:13:46
They vote for their feelings,
1:13:47
and they be like,
1:13:48
I'm tired of seeing this person.
1:13:49
Like, these are human people.
1:13:50
Humans.
1:13:51
Humans.
1:13:51
Human nature to come in and say,
1:13:53
you know what?
1:13:53
I'm tired of this person winning.
1:13:55
I'm just going to go ahead and vote
1:13:55
for this person.
1:13:56
Like, what?
1:13:59
Well,
1:13:59
this person didn't answer my question,
1:14:01
so I'm going to not vote for this.
1:14:03
Or this person didn't do this.
1:14:04
Like, come on, man.
1:14:05
Like, that's not good.
1:14:09
Shit, I remember last year,
1:14:11
Kendra Andrews had, like,
1:14:12
wrote a post about the MVP,
1:14:13
and she was like, well,
1:14:14
Asia's not averaging the same amount as
1:14:15
she did last year.
1:14:16
I'm like, who cares?
1:14:18
She's still the best player, like,
1:14:20
regardless.
1:14:22
Right, BB.
1:14:22
That's really what he went through.
1:14:24
He literally is...
1:14:26
Someone said,
1:14:27
is AB the only post player that defends
1:14:29
Asia the best?
1:14:31
I think Angel actually does a decent job.
1:14:34
I think Dominique Malanga is starting to
1:14:38
give her trouble as well.
1:14:40
I think Stewie does decent as well.
1:14:44
So yeah, I think it's a few people,
1:14:45
but Asia struggles a little bit against AB
1:14:47
for sure.
1:14:48
Oh, absolutely.
1:14:49
It's really the physicality.
1:14:53
Right.
1:14:53
And I say struggle,
1:14:54
and she'd still be having twenty and ten.
1:14:56
Yeah.
1:14:58
That's how great she is, man.
1:15:00
She's not
1:15:01
She's not even thirty yet.
1:15:05
No.
1:15:07
Come on, man.
1:15:09
Quit it.
1:15:09
Quit it.
1:15:10
This is not to say it's a lot
1:15:14
of great players in the league,
1:15:16
but sometimes in sports that number one be
1:15:20
this far ahead of everybody.
1:15:22
That's just how it be sometimes in certain
1:15:25
eras.
1:15:26
And it's okay.
1:15:27
Life ain't fair.
1:15:28
Sorry.
1:15:30
As my pastor says, favor ain't fair.
1:15:31
And it's a lot of favor on Asia's
1:15:33
life.
1:15:36
It is.
1:15:37
And then, of course,
1:15:37
I wanted to address the elephant in the
1:15:43
room as far as what happened.
1:15:45
I think it was... No,
1:15:48
I think this was Sunday.
1:15:49
Mm-hmm.
1:15:59
Man, get your punk ass up.
1:16:01
It ain't even wet over here.
1:16:03
Yo,
1:16:04
there's been so many videos about this on
1:16:08
TikTok and Twitter and all that.
1:16:09
Play that shit again.
1:16:12
Play that shit one more time, brother.
1:16:15
One more damn time.
1:16:21
Just a normal basketball play.
1:16:28
Man, get your punk ass up.
1:16:29
It ain't even wet over here.
1:16:30
Come on, dog.
1:16:30
Now, listen,
1:16:30
Shane's the only person that's flopping in
1:16:31
the league, but that's... What is that?
1:16:36
The fact that that shit got reviewed,
1:16:37
that's the part that pissed me off.
1:16:39
Like, why the fuck we reviewing that?
1:16:42
That's a normal basketball play.
1:16:43
What the fuck are we doing?
1:16:44
Oh, my God.
1:16:48
Like,
1:16:48
that play happens every time down the
1:16:50
court.
1:16:52
That happens damn near every time down the
1:16:54
court in the post.
1:16:56
So, like, what?
1:17:01
Nigga's mad because they can't defend.
1:17:03
Like, I don't get it.
1:17:06
And I would love to give, like,
1:17:10
my honest thoughts.
1:17:11
If I gave my honest thoughts, y'all, boy.
1:17:16
Y'all, people would hate me.
1:17:18
Who's going to stop us?
1:17:19
Exactly, Stephon.
1:17:20
Hold on.
1:17:21
When people be in my comments or I
1:17:23
see people on Twitter talking about she
1:17:24
had to go overseas...
1:17:26
Have y'all watched overseas basketball?
1:17:29
I'm going to say, yeah.
1:17:29
Have you watched the Olympics?
1:17:32
Right.
1:17:32
What is y'all talking about?
1:17:33
Right.
1:17:33
She'll really get beat up.
1:17:34
Respect.
1:17:35
I was going to say, yeah,
1:17:37
that was the thing.
1:17:37
We're going to see it in twenty twenty
1:17:39
eight because they're going to she's going
1:17:40
to be on the Olympic team.
1:17:42
She's going to be getting cooked like
1:17:44
she's going to be getting cooked out
1:17:45
there.
1:17:46
I'm not saying that she's not going to
1:17:47
be scoring on the offensive end,
1:17:48
but defensively,
1:17:49
she's going to be getting cooked.
1:17:51
Yes.
1:17:52
Because that's the thing.
1:17:53
Overseas is more advanced, too.
1:17:56
They don't put no wusses over there.
1:17:57
At all.
1:17:58
They don't put no wusses over there
1:18:00
overseas.
1:18:01
So she can pout up and down the
1:18:03
court all she wants.
1:18:04
Shawree's pulling that ass right off.
1:18:07
Right.
1:18:07
But I had to address that because,
1:18:11
like I said,
1:18:11
I was more so pissed off that it
1:18:13
got...
1:18:13
Jeremy trying to get you in trouble,
1:18:14
Wiley.
1:18:15
Jeremy trying to get you in trouble.
1:18:16
He talking about who cares about the
1:18:17
Clarkies.

1:18:52
it happened.
1:18:53
Not wait for the ball to go in
1:18:54

1:18:56
And then you get up and you say,
1:18:58

Nine, nine, seven.
1:21:36
Are you talking about Michael Jackson
1:21:37

1:21:39
I think he's talking about Aaliyah.
1:21:41
Okay, okay, okay.
1:21:41

1:22:10
That's all it is.
1:22:11
But I give it.
1:22:12
It's not bad.
1:22:13
It's not a bad one.
1:22:14
I like it, though.
1:22:15
Good look.
1:22:18
Good look.
1:22:18
It's not bad at all.
1:22:19
Izzy.
1:22:19
Oh.
1:22:19
She's giving me the nanny, Fran Drescher.
1:22:22
Yes.
1:22:23
I couldn't pinpoint that shit for nothing.
1:22:25
I can see that, too.
1:22:27
It's giving one hundred and one
1:22:28
Dalmatians.
1:22:28
That, too.
1:22:31
Y'all might not even know who I'm talking
1:22:33
about when I'm saying that nanny and
1:22:34
friend.
1:22:35
They have no idea who I'm talking about.
1:22:39
I do because we watch that shit
1:22:41
religiously over here.
1:22:43
It's still a funny ass show.
1:22:47
I mean, it's not something I would wear,
1:22:50
but it doesn't look bad on her.
1:22:51
So I'll give her a seven.
1:22:52
I'll give her a solid six.
1:22:55
I like it.
1:22:57
Izzy be putting that shit on her face
1:22:58
all day.
1:22:59
Seven.
1:23:02
Yeah, you can see it, can't you?
1:23:06
Six, I watched the nanny.
1:23:09
All right,
1:23:11

1:23:12
the nanny.
1:23:13
There we go, that's right, that's right.
1:23:15
Hey, they of age.
1:23:16
They of age, that's right.
1:23:18
They of age.
1:23:19
Well, hey,
1:23:20
I know some of y'all do know.
1:23:22
I'm talking about the youngins.
1:23:23
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:23:26
Nick, you know what I'm talking about,
1:23:27
Nick?
1:23:28
I really don't care about it.
1:23:30
I just want to say right before we
1:23:35
move on.
1:23:36
Nick thought y'all was talking about Ms.
1:23:38
Doubtfire.
1:23:40
I just want to say this real quick
1:23:42
and then we can move on.
1:23:43
I be seeing why Natasha Cloud be crashing
1:23:46
out.
1:23:46
Yes.
1:23:49
She be going to war about her moment,
1:23:52
boy.
1:23:55
I'm older than all of y'all on the
1:23:56
panel.
1:23:57
How old are you?
1:23:58
Yeah, how old are you?
1:24:00
I mean,
1:24:01
that's why I say the young ones.
1:24:03
Hey,
1:24:04
I was wondering when you were going to
1:24:05
put one of her outfits on because she
1:24:07
do be having some shit on.
1:24:08
I like this outfit a lot.
1:24:11
Hey, Maddie can dress.
1:24:12
She can.
1:24:13
Maddie can dress.
1:24:14
Yo,
1:24:15
she had on a fucking jacket like a
1:24:18
game or two ago,
1:24:20
but I couldn't find the whole fit.
1:24:21
I was searching up and down for that
1:24:23
one.
1:24:23
That shit was fire.
1:24:24
She can dress.
1:24:25
She can definitely dress.
1:24:26
She ain't playing no games,
1:24:27
so she might as well get them fits
1:24:29
off.
1:24:30
Get them fits off.
1:24:30
The streets are saying that, you know,
1:24:33
that's Liv's girl.
1:24:35
Yes.
1:24:35
Hey, they've been saying that.
1:24:38
They've been saying that since last year,
1:24:40
right?
1:24:40
Since college, yeah.
1:24:40
Yeah.
1:24:42
Yep.
1:24:43

1:24:44
Damn.
1:24:45
Yeah, okay, yeah, you got us.
1:24:47

1:24:49
Oh, yeah, sixty, yeah, sixty-two, yeah.
1:24:52

1:24:57
Oh, yeah.
1:24:57
Shout out to you for watching.
1:24:58
And being up this late.
1:24:59
Come on now, it's late for me.
1:25:00

1:25:02
And her fists do be nice, boy.
1:25:03
She be having...
1:25:06
Hey, she got a good run out this.
1:25:08
Everybody give them the eights.
1:25:10
I haven't seen nothing less than about a
1:25:11
seven.
1:25:12
I give her a solid eight.
1:25:13
Yeah, I'm going about an eight, nine.
1:25:15
Yeah.
1:25:16
Yeah.
1:25:17
Can't go wrong.
1:25:18
And her hair always be nice too.
1:25:19
Yeah.
1:25:21
So I rock with this.
1:25:25
That's the last one.
1:25:25
What else you got for us?
1:25:27
No, no, no, no.
1:25:30
Okay, I feel a real biker's girl.
1:25:35
Right.
1:25:41
Is that plaid?
1:25:42
I'm thinking,
1:25:43
I thought the plaid was like a shirt
1:25:44
wrapped around.
1:25:45
I mean, it do look like that though.
1:25:48
That's a dress though.
1:25:49
I'm not mad at it.
1:25:51
It's a dress?
1:25:52
Give me a nine.
1:25:54
Yeah, it's like a skirt.
1:25:56
Yeah, it's like a skirt.
1:25:58
Okay, I see what you're saying.
1:26:00
Yeah.
1:26:02
She fine, but can't dress.
1:26:11
I'll give it a six.
1:26:11
Y'all funny as hell.
1:26:12
Felicia Lowe, you took.
1:26:13
Yes, I did.
1:26:13
And did.
1:26:15
She be trying to hide him on the
1:26:16
low.
1:26:16
She be trying to put me in.
1:26:17
I don't be trying to hide.
1:26:19
Everybody knows now.
1:26:19
You can see I was fucking chewing the
1:26:21
shit.
1:26:21
When I chew,
1:26:21
I at least try to move away from
1:26:24
the mic.
1:26:24
That's where I give you that.
1:26:29
It's not bad.
1:26:29
It's not bad.
1:26:30
Nah.
1:26:31
It's not.
1:26:32
Now he's talking about she can't dress.
1:26:33
I gotta look at her other fits.
1:26:33
Look at Dana without being in a schoolgirl
1:26:36
outfit.
1:26:37
Facts.
1:26:38
Is she showing a little shoulder?
1:26:41
Or a little shoulder?
1:26:44
I give her a seven and a half.
1:26:48
This is very tame for Dana.
1:26:54
It is.
1:26:55
But also, Dana is like that.
1:26:56
She's definitely a tomboy,
1:26:59
so she'll throw on some sneakers in a
1:27:00
heartbeat.
1:27:01
Mm-hmm.
1:27:02
Yeah.
1:27:02
Absolutely.
1:27:03
I'm going to give it an eight.
1:27:04
Nine and a half, seven, six.
1:27:06
This is not Dana in pants, right?
1:27:08
You rarely see her in some pants.
1:27:11
Right.
1:27:12
She normally showing them legs.
1:27:15
Y'all doing, y'all not bad.
1:27:18
Some nights, y'all, some weeks,
1:27:19
y'all be like, man, that shit is trash.
1:27:21
But y'all, we kind of,
1:27:23
we see a lot of stuff.
1:27:23
It be some files.
1:27:24
Wally must have, look,
1:27:25
he must have did a lot of work
1:27:26
to find it.
1:27:27
Wally did his homework this week.
1:27:28
He did.
1:27:28
He definitely did his homework.
1:27:29
That's it.
1:27:32
A little bad.
1:27:33
I'm fine.
1:27:34
Come on, Felicia.
1:27:35
Felicia, man, don't be hating, man.
1:27:37
Felicia said hell.
1:27:39
Look, I know what Felicia want.
1:27:41
You ain't getting that tonight, Felicia.
1:27:43
I know exactly what you want, Felicia.
1:27:44
I saw Felicia sending him stuff on the
1:27:45
timeline.
1:27:45
That's funny.
1:27:49
Today was my first day I saw it.
1:27:50
I was cracking up.
1:27:52
They all nice this week.
1:27:54
Okay.
1:27:56
Okay, Asia.
1:27:59
And shout out to Asia because this fit
1:28:00
also went...
1:28:02
This fit also went with the shoes she
1:28:05
wore, the Girl Scout shoes.
1:28:07
Yeah, for sure.
1:28:09
You know,
1:28:09
another thing I want to shout out for
1:28:11
Asia is that one thing I know is
1:28:14
a lot of the women in W,
1:28:16
when they wear open-toed shoes,
1:28:18
their feet be bogus, boy.
1:28:21
Like, they be missing nail polish.
1:28:26
Like, Asia ain't going.
1:28:29
She's not going to get caught slipping.
1:28:31
So shout out to her.
1:28:32
I mean, in all fairness,
1:28:35
I feel like when you have your toes
1:28:36
out, they should be done in all fairness.
1:28:38
But Asia money a little different than
1:28:40
everybody else.
1:28:41
Asia got the bread to make sure.
1:28:43
Her man rich and she rich.
1:28:45
No, listen.
1:28:46
Listen.
1:28:47
Listen.
1:28:49
Listen.
1:28:51
You can't be out here.
1:28:52
Don't wear no overtoe shoes that day.
1:28:53
I agree.
1:28:53
I agree.
1:28:56
I got my pedicure scheduled for next week.
1:28:59
I agree.
1:29:02
There you go.
1:29:03
Y'all ain't finna fuck me over.
1:29:04
Absolutely not.
1:29:05
Look,
1:29:06
y'all can say a lot of things about
1:29:08
me, but nobody gonna be like, bro,
1:29:09
look at her toes.
1:29:10
No.
1:29:13
No, but y'all like this outfit.
1:29:15
Nine, nine, nine, ten, nine and a half.
1:29:17
Treat me like Marcus.
1:29:18
I'll give it an eight.
1:29:20
You finna turn into Marcus on low.
1:29:22
You said what?
1:29:26
He ain't finna turn in the markets off
1:29:27
of a boomerang.
1:29:31
A man slid up that bed, boy.
1:29:33
Crunched up all of them.
1:29:35
Man.
1:29:35
Y'all are crazy.
1:29:39
Oh my God.
1:29:41
This was a good week.
1:29:42
What?
1:29:43
Y'all getting me out of here before eleven
1:29:45
thirty?
1:29:45
This was a good week for the outfits.
1:29:48
Last week was going to be tough.
1:29:51
Nah, last week was cool.
1:29:53
We needed that, so it was cool.
1:29:56
We definitely needed that.
1:29:58
Nobody from the Mystics best dressed team
1:30:00
in the W. That's an interesting take.
1:30:01
I don't agree, but that's interesting.
1:30:03
I'm going to say they are not.
1:30:06
Who dressed over there though?
1:30:08
Who be standing out like that?
1:30:13
CC won MVP of FIBA.
1:30:15
By the way, Cheryl's not the coach.
1:30:17
Who's the coach again now?
1:30:19
Oh, my God.
1:30:21
First of all,
1:30:21
she probably shouldn't even have won the
1:30:22
MVP of FIBA.
1:30:23
Is it Kara?
1:30:27
Oh, yeah, Kara.
1:30:29
You're right.
1:30:30
We're going to see in the Olympics.
1:30:32
We'll see in the Olympics.
1:30:33
Be back, Christopher Smith.
1:30:36
I would say, yeah,
1:30:37
Kiki's probably the standout when it comes
1:30:40
to the Mystics,
1:30:41
when it comes to being- I agree.
1:30:42
I agree.
1:30:44
He's the standout.
1:30:46
They about to be mad as hell in
1:30:47
the comments over one little section about
1:30:49
us not being able to deal with physical
1:30:53
stuff.
1:30:53
I already see what's going to happen now.
1:30:56
That comment came late as hell after we
