- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to the Hoops for Hotties Live Show.

- 0:19SPEAKER_00: Everybody is talking about it.
- 0:20SPEAKER_00: And I am stressed the hell out.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: I will say, I didn't know that Jalen Hurts was going to be hurt or that this was gonna happen or his injury would escalate in this way when I planned to be in Philly on Monday night for their Monday night football game against the Cowboys.
- 0:50SPEAKER_00: And I will be there for my game day getaway tour that's on my personal YouTube channel, Mariah Rose.

- 1:04SPEAKER_00: So I have a jam-packed weekend and I can't wait to debrief all of that with you guys.
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: But without further ado, let me quit yapping and get into my hot girl headlines for this week.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: And we are just going to focus on the most important thing happening in sports right now, and that is the WNBA finals.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna give you a WNBA finals catch up just in case you missed some of the games or you haven't seen anything happening during the games.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: I see that Rose, Rose, Zoe Rose, oh my god, do we have the same last name?
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: Asked me in the chat, are you going to the game tonight?
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: And the answer is yes.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: I will be sitting courtside tonight in Atlanta and state form arena, I might add.
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: Yes, thank you for Dream versus Valkyries, and they better fucking win.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I I like they better fucking win.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: I'm so excited, I'm so nervous.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about what has happened so far.
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: So, in game one, the Valkyries stole the opener.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: Okay, the Golden State Valkyries defeated the Atlanta Dream in game one in the Bay Area.
- 2:08SPEAKER_00: Both teams struggled offensively and shot pretty poorly, like historically poorly in the WBA finals.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: And some Gabby Williams late free throws helped seal the Valkyries victory.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: Uh, we were winning.
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: I, as a Dream fan, we, because I'm on the team, and Angel Reese is my close personal friend, of course.
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: We were winning at like right before halftime, halftime-ish.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: And I took a nap during like the third quarter because I was just exhausted, like on accident, took a nap and woke up and we were losing.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: I was fucking pissed.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: Alicia Gray returned from injury and led Atlanta with 19 points.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: Angel Reese finished with 14 and 12.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: And go to say took the first game, but Atlanta was still right there.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: We only lost by four points.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: Angel said that she was embarrassed, embarrassed by how she performed, embarrassed by how her team performed, and that that wasn't them the performance they put out.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: Ballhalla came out and was loud.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: It is a very hard place to play, and it was not good for the Atlanta Dream.
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: And pretty good for the Valkyries, but not great because nobody shot very well.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: Obviously, these are two defensive teams, so we're not gonna see a lot of great shooting, but like, damn, damn.
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: It was it wasn't great.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Then in game two, Atlanta fought back.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: Atlanta entered game two down 0-1 in the series, having never won a finals game in franchise history.
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: Dating back to 2010, Atlanta had been to the finals multiple times and was swept every single time.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Steph Curry and Draymond Green were in the building supporting the Valkyries, which I love to see the MNBA guys supporting their WNBA counterparts.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: If I don't see some motherfucking hawks in that fucking arena today, I like after you took up real estate on their fucking poster, I don't care if you made the poster.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: Be at the game, present, front row, cheering.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: Angel Reese jerseys, Alicia Gray jerseys, Ryan Howard jerseys, down.
- 3:57SPEAKER_00: Down.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: I swear to fucking god.
- 4:00SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I better see that.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: Oh, but I think they played, don't they play tonight?
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: Shit, don't they do they play tonight?
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: In or didn't they play last night in Orlando?
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: I don't give a fuck.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: Take a jet.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, somebody said they have a game tonight in Florida.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: Um whatever.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: Come on, come on Saturday before your game, figure it the fuck out, show your support, post something.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: The Falcons posted them all saying congratulations to the team.
- 4:25SPEAKER_00: Post something to show your support for the women's team.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: I mean, goddamn.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: Anyways, you see how I go off track and I just have to be mean and bully somebody.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: So Steph Curry and Draymond Green were in attendance, which I'm sorry, I'm not done.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: Steph Curry and Draymond Green definitely, and I can promise you, have busier schedules than Nikhila Alexander Walker and Jalen Johnson and CJ McCollum.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 4:47SPEAKER_00: If Steph can find a way to make some time to support the women's team, I need y'all to find it in your motherfucking schedules.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
- 4:56SPEAKER_00: So the game started off close in game two, but Atlanta went on a run in the third quarter.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: And I mean, took that bitch over.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: You guys, I here's the thing.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: I was nervous at first because we're playing away, and you know, it's difficult to win in their arena and all the things, right?
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: And Angel Reese came in and said, not today.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: After losing game one by four points and putting up 14 and 12, Angel was quote, embarrassed.
- 5:32SPEAKER_00: Steph Curry was in the building and the game started off close until Atlanta went on a run in the third quarter.
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: Here's the thing Angel had 15 points in the first half.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: I'm watching the game.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking, okay, get the ball to Angel.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: Get the ball to Angel.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: Get the ball to Angel because it's not really working with anybody else.
- 5:54SPEAKER_00: They start settling for threes and shit.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: I'm like, are we fucking joking?
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: Angel Reese got 15 in the first half.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: What are we doing?
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: Get the ball to Angel.
- 6:02SPEAKER_00: Angel looked at her teammates and said, Get me the fucking ball.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: Get me the fucking ball.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: And my boyfriend's like, Oh my God, you gotta be nice to your teammates.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: I don't give a fuck.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: I and I was as an athlete, even in high school, was the kind of competitive that I'm like, I'm I you're just getting in your teammates' faces, getting in your coach's face.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: It's not the nicest thing, no, but do you do you wanna win?
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: Do you wanna win?
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: Like, do you wanna win or not?
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: Do you wanna win or not?
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: Give me the fucking ball.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: And I think at times, you know, when you're an angel Reese, you gotta be a little bit tough on the people around you.
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: People aren't just going to wake up and be like, you know what?
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna get Angel the ball.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: No, they're thinking about themselves.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: They're like, I gotta get mine, I gotta get going.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: No, get in their faces and tell them what the fuck you want.
- 6:48SPEAKER_00: Get me the fucking ball.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: And that's what she did.
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: And what'd they do?
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: Get her the fucking ball.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: And what'd she do?
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: 30 and 16 in a WNBA finals game in her third year.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: She is the youngest person to ever score 30 and 15 plus in a finals game in the WNBA.
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: And the only other two people to do it were Breonna Stewart and John Paul Jones.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: And she swept their ass on the way to the finals.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: I she went off to break Atlanta's 0-10 streak in the WNBA finals.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: Get them their first WNBA finals win.
- 7:23SPEAKER_00: It's like all they needed was an angel.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: Am I right?
- 7:26SPEAKER_00: Smesko, their coach, said that he made eye contact with Angel Reese before the game.
- 7:32SPEAKER_00: And he saw the look in her eye and was like, oh, I like this look.
- 7:35SPEAKER_00: I like this look.
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: I like where this is going.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: And the Valkyries were a little bit upset.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna transition really quickly into our next segment.
- 7:50SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: Um, because oh wait, before I do, let's talk a little bit more about Angel and her ultimate revenge game, shall we?
- 7:59SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 8:00SPEAKER_00: Angel Reese put up the ultimate revenge game in game two.
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: Um, obviously, game one wasn't good enough for her.
- 8:06SPEAKER_00: Atlanta lost game one by four points.
- 8:08SPEAKER_00: Angel finished with 14 and 12.
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: Afterwards, she admitted that she was embarrassed by the loss, and she came into game two with something to prove.
- 8:15SPEAKER_00: Okay, she put up 30 points, 16 rebounds, and had 15 first half points.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: She told her teammates to get her the fucking ball.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: She's the youngest player to do so.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: And I just want to talk about this as far as Angel's revenge game.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: I love the fact that Angel Reese made it her mission.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: And this isn't something that she has vocalized, but this is something like I'm taking in as a fan.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: She has made her brand about something strictly basketball related for one of the first times since this whole Angel Caitlin Clark This interaction.
- 8:55SPEAKER_00: And I know I bring that up all the time, but it was a historic moment in woman's sports history.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: The this, the Iowa, the LSU, the rivalry of it all, Angel winning that championship, being most outstanding player.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: It was a moment that is cemented in women's sports history, and I think defined Angel for quite some time.
- 9:14SPEAKER_00: And by going to the WNBA finals in her third year, by taking Atlanta to the finals for the first time since 2013, and by getting 30 and 30 and 16 in their first finals win after 10 straight finals losses as a young player, by doing something so undeniably great, Angel has now forced people to have a different conversation about her.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: Because before the conversation was Angel Reese can, she's pretty, right?
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: She's a Barbie doll, right?
- 9:50SPEAKER_00: She's walking runways, but she's not playing in playoff games.
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: Because in Chicago, they weren't doing that.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: They weren't winning.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: They weren't playing in playoff games.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: They weren't playing in meaningful basketball games.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: And I think it forced people to forget because Angel's name became about something else when she did this to Caitlin Clark.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: It forced people to only be able to talk about her in a basketball context for the first time since that happened.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: Because when she got into the WNBA after that happened, she was playing for Chicago and they weren't winning jackass shit.
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: And even when she called out the fact that she was sick of losing, they punished her for it.
- 10:24SPEAKER_00: And it's interesting that that transition to Atlanta saved her in a way because it reminded us of who the fuck Angel Reese is.
- 10:32SPEAKER_00: Angel Reese was a state champion every year in high school.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: Angel Reese was not only a state champion in basketball, she was a state champion in volleyball too.
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: Angel Reese then goes to Maryland and won a championship.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: She won a championship in two different conferences in college.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: She became the most outstanding player in the NCAA.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: She, Angel Reese, is a winner and has been.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: And that's all we've ever known her to be is to win on the basketball court.
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: And because she got a little bit of attention for a non-basketball thing for this, it was a basketball thing, but you know, they took it out and it blew up into the world.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: And people like myself got behind Angel and were like, hold on, you're not about to jump her.
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: She was able to make her career into something bigger than just basketball and her transition, announcing she's declaring for the WNBA draft and Vogue.
- 11:20SPEAKER_00: Who does that?
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: And now we end up in a situation where she's drafted to Chicago, seventh overall, a top 10 draft pick, where a lot of people are having conversations about her that aren't related to basketball anymore because we're not seeing her play, right?
- 11:35SPEAKER_00: Because that little transition between college and the WNBA, we're not seeing her play basketball.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: So we're talking about all the other cool shit she's doing, building up her career and her resume off the court, showing us who she is, starring in music videos, doing all this cool stuff, becoming a cultural icon off the court.
- 11:49SPEAKER_00: But I think that hurt her a little bit because at the same time as she's building this repertoire as a cultural icon off the court, she's playing in Chicago, not playing in meaningful basketball games, and it's making her look bad.
- 12:00SPEAKER_00: So it's fueling all of these haters that already want something to say, oh, Angel Reese, she ain't shit and bass.
- 12:05SPEAKER_00: Oh, she's just getting her own rebounds, knee bounds.
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: She, this, that, she's stat padding, she not this, she not that.
- 12:10SPEAKER_00: They're forgetting who the fuck Angel Reese was before she did this to Caitlin Clark, before the conversation became about something else, before the Chanel bags, before all of this stuff.
- 12:18SPEAKER_00: They didn't know who the fuck she was until she got to Atlanta and had no other choice but to make her name about basketball again because she was in a position to win and to show people who the fuck she was.
- 12:32SPEAKER_00: Now her brand is back to being what it always has been, and it's winning because she's in a position to win.
- 12:40SPEAKER_00: And it forces people to have what the fuck are they gonna say about 30 and 15, huh?
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: Even the men that hate on Angel Reese that love like that like basketball, y'all can't hate on 30 and 50.
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: I mean, at 30 and 16.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: What the fuck are in the finals?
- 12:51SPEAKER_00: What the fuck are y'all gonna say about that?
- 12:53SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's just be it's just the WNBA, the them girls ain't shit.
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: She couldn't put up 30 and 16 against men.
- 12:59SPEAKER_00: That's when it's like the conversation.
- 13:00SPEAKER_00: I'm tuning you out.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: You're not making any fucking sense.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: What the fuck are you talking about?
- 13:04SPEAKER_00: So I say all that to say, I think it's beautiful that Angel has been put in a position to win and to make her brand back to being about basketball and to being about winning.
- 13:15SPEAKER_00: But I don't want people to lose sight of the fact that that's always who Angel Race was.
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: Y'all just got it fucking twisted because you got wrapped up in a conversation about this.
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: You turned her and Caitlin's rivalry into a race conversation and it became this like big thing.
- 13:28SPEAKER_00: I also contributed to that.
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: I'm not saying I didn't, but it became this big thing.
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: And we kind of forgot about the basketball of it all.
- 13:34SPEAKER_00: We kind of forgot that when that moment happened, it's because Angel fucking won.
- 13:37SPEAKER_00: Angel won.
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: She won.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: She won.
- 13:40SPEAKER_00: And in every instance, it seems like she finds a way to be the one who comes out on top and win.
- 13:45SPEAKER_00: And if you ask Atlanta, she was the secret ingredient that has led them to this point.
- 13:49SPEAKER_00: So whether the Atlanta Dream win the finals or not, which I sure hope they fucking do.
- 13:53SPEAKER_00: I think Angel Reese has proved a lot of people wrong.
- 13:57SPEAKER_00: And every ounce of shit she wants to talk because of the shit she has taken since she's been in the WNBA, the way she was disrespected when she was welcomed to Chicago, the way she was disrespected when she tried to make them a winning team, the way she's been disrespected by fans, by people who hate her, the way she has been disrespected every level to now be in the finals.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: What the fuck are they gonna say now?
- 14:18SPEAKER_00: So I I really enjoyed seeing not only Angel be in the finals, because yeah, she can be in the finals and get a double-double, score 14 and 12, whatever, and we're like, oh, cool for her, she went to the final.
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: She had a historic game, and she had something that we can never take away from her in that game, too.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: And I thought that that was really, really beautiful.
- 14:35SPEAKER_00: Now, Angel may have been the star of game two, but Golden State was not happy with how the game was officiated.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: So I think it's time for a little bit of Hoops for Hoties University.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna teach you guys a motherfucking lesson.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: Are we ready?
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: Are we ready?
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 14:53SPEAKER_00: If you guys are new here and haven't been to a hoops for Hotties University segment, welcome.
- 14:58SPEAKER_00: This is where I teach you guys tangible things that you need to know if you are going to be tuning into sports.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: And we are gonna be talking about the Valkyrie's free throw controversy.
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: So, what happened?
- 15:10SPEAKER_00: The game three, the in game two, there was a little bit of a free throw discress discrepancy, and that's something that comes up a lot in games.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: And as you guys watch NBA games this season, you are going to hear a lot of conversation about this.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: And I, one of the number one things I hear from new sports fans are Mariah, the refs.
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: People are complaining about the refs.
- 15:32SPEAKER_00: What does this mean?
- 15:32SPEAKER_00: What are they saying?
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: Are the refs good?
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: Are the refs bad?
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: And so that's what we're going to be talking about in the Soup Supati's university segment.
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: So, what happened in game two of the WNBA finals is Atlanta attempted 35 free throws and made 30 of them.
- 15:46SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: That's a lot of points, especially in a game where they absolutely killed Golden State.
- 15:52SPEAKER_00: Golden State only attempted 19 free throws.
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: That's a 16-attempt difference.
- 15:59SPEAKER_00: Meaning that when Golden State is in their press conferences and they're talking about, you know, the film of the game, what happened in the game, the statistics of the game, they're saying, well, Atlanta got to shoot 16 more free throws than us, so of course they fucking won.
- 16:11SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 16:12SPEAKER_00: Atlanta made 30 free throws.
- 16:14SPEAKER_00: Golden State made 17 free throws, which means Atlanta scored 13 more points at the free throw line than Golden State.
- 16:20SPEAKER_00: And Golden State was frustrated by this discrepancy.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: Now, let's break it down for the girls.
- 16:26SPEAKER_00: What is a free throw?
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: Okay, I know some of you are like, oh Mariah, I'm tuning you out.
- 16:30SPEAKER_00: Shut the fuck up.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: But some people who watch my videos really don't know, and this isn't a place where we sham people for that.
- 16:35SPEAKER_00: A free throw is an uncontested shot that is worth one point, and it's usually awarded after certain fouls.
- 16:41SPEAKER_00: Because if you're attempting to shoot and they foul you and you don't get the opportunity to be able to make the basket right, then you should get an opportunity to shoot an uncontested shot because they fouled you.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: So it's basically giving you those points back you would have scored had you made the basket.
- 16:58SPEAKER_00: But but sometimes they get an and one, which is something you'll see a lot with like a player like Andrew Reese.
- 17:03SPEAKER_00: If she like drives up to the basket and she gets fouled on her way up to the basket and she makes the shot, she still gets to shoot the free throws because it was so hard to make the shot, right?
- 17:14SPEAKER_00: And so she gets to that, she like screams and one because you not only does she get the two points for making the shot, she also gets to shoot a free throw and get another one.
- 17:22SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
- 17:25SPEAKER_00: So a free throw discrepancy and why people you may see people complaining about the refs in certain games is the difference between how many free throws each team gets to attempt.
- 17:35SPEAKER_00: Because if if Atlanta is shooting almost getting the opportunity to shoot almost double the free throws Golden State does, were they actually fouled almost double the time?
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: That's the question you have to answer, and that's why people get upset about the refs, okay?
- 17:50SPEAKER_00: And somebody in the chat, and this is why you get to watch me live, because the people who watch me on YouTube later will probably only see this the much better explanation at the end that my editor decides to put in the final video.
- 18:01SPEAKER_00: But an and one is basically when you are going up to shoot a basket, okay?
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: And you get fouled.
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: You get fouled regardless to whether you make the shot or not.
- 18:11SPEAKER_00: So you get to shoot free throws in order to supplement those points for you possibly missing the shot.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: But if you make the basket, you get, let's say it was a three, you get those three points plus whatever points you get from the free throws, you can just shoot because they fouled you.
- 18:28SPEAKER_00: Now, why does this matter?
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: Free throws are opportunities to score without the defense contesting your shot.
- 18:32SPEAKER_00: They can slow down the game and they can put opposing players in foul trouble.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: They completely change the momentum of the game, especially in a close game.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: But does a free throw discrepancy automatically mean that the referees were unfair?
- 18:47SPEAKER_00: Because Golden State was upset with the difference, right?
- 18:50SPEAKER_00: No.
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: Just because Atlanta is shooting more free throws, or because you're, you know, the Philadelphia 76ers might get to shoot more free throws than the New York Knicks, a lot of times you'll hear players after the game say, Well, they got to shoot 35 free throws and we only got to shoot four.
- 19:08SPEAKER_00: Does that automatically mean that the refs were bad?
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: No.
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: Teams that attack the basket more aggressively can naturally draw more fouls.
- 19:17SPEAKER_00: And the number of attempts doesn't necessarily prove that the officiating was bad.
- 19:21SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about what else happened with Golden State in this game.
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah?
- 19:25SPEAKER_00: Because you didn't just lose because of the refs.
- 19:28SPEAKER_00: Golden State committed 19 turnovers, which means that they're dribbling the ball, they drop it.
- 19:34SPEAKER_00: Some shit like that, right?
- 19:35SPEAKER_00: 19 turnovers.
- 19:37SPEAKER_00: And Atlanta was able to convert their mistakes.
- 19:40SPEAKER_00: And the turnover is essentially just a mistake.
- 19:42SPEAKER_00: If you guys get confused when you hear basketball speak, uh turnover is essentially just a mistake, right?
- 19:47SPEAKER_00: Atlanta was able to turn Golden State's mistakes into 24 points.
- 19:54SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
- 20:00SPEAKER_00: Atlanta outscored Golden State 21 to 9 in the third quarter as well.
- 20:06SPEAKER_00: You can't let that happen and then blame the officiating on why you lost the game.
- 20:10SPEAKER_00: Make some baskets, you know?
- 20:12SPEAKER_00: So was Golden State robbed by the rest, or did Atlanta simply play a more aggressive game?
- 20:16SPEAKER_00: If you were watching, let me know in the chat what you think.
- 20:19SPEAKER_00: I think that it's pretty with all the mistakes.
- 20:24SPEAKER_00: Fair.
- 20:25SPEAKER_00: Either way, the series is tied.
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: And now we're back in Atlanta.
- 20:28SPEAKER_00: So here's what I'm watching heading into game three because I will be there.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: Yes, in State Farm Arena where the girls deserve to play.
- 20:35SPEAKER_00: And y'all, and listen, if you're coming to this fucking game tonight, you better be loud.
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: Don't play, don't play with me.
- 20:40SPEAKER_00: What I'm watching in game three, and what the biggest questions, in my opinion, are number one, can anybody guard Angel Reese?
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: They are one of the best defenses in the WNBA.
- 20:51SPEAKER_00: She's coming off 30 points and 16 rebounds.
- 20:54SPEAKER_00: How will Golden State adjust defensively?
- 20:57SPEAKER_00: And will they double team her?
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: Can Angel maintain this level of production?
- 21:02SPEAKER_00: Are we gonna see that same version of Angel again?
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: Because all the shit she was talking after the game, Angel is gonna say, they didn't do anything that messes up in game one.
- 21:09SPEAKER_00: We messed up.
- 21:10SPEAKER_00: We messed up.
- 21:11SPEAKER_00: That is a loaded statement to make, Angel, in the middle of the finals.
- 21:15SPEAKER_00: So can she keep it up?
- 21:18SPEAKER_00: That leads me to my next question.
- 21:19SPEAKER_00: Number two, who is going to step up alongside Angel, Atlanta Dream?
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: Because I can't promise you you're gonna get 30 points from free throws and 30 points from Angel Reese in this game.
- 21:32SPEAKER_00: That's 60 points.
- 21:34SPEAKER_00: I can't promise you that.
- 21:36SPEAKER_00: Alicia Gray has returned from injury.
- 21:39SPEAKER_00: Atlanta needs some more consistent offensive production from the supporting cast.
- 21:44SPEAKER_00: I want to talk about Ryan Howard.
- 21:47SPEAKER_00: I want to talk about Ryan Howard, and I see Kiana is uh is on board with me.
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: She said Ryan is too damn inconsistent.
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: I see Nikki said it needs to be Jordan Canada.
- 21:58SPEAKER_00: But I want to.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: Say uh Ryan Howard, we need to see more from her.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: Ryan Howard only had five points in game two.
- 22:07SPEAKER_00: She shot 28% from the field.
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: She she attempted seven shots.
- 22:16SPEAKER_00: You shot the ball.
- 22:17SPEAKER_00: That's not being aggressive.
- 22:19SPEAKER_00: And I understand Angel said, get me the fucking ball, but that's probably because yo, you're shooting 28% from the field.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: Make some fucking shots.
- 22:27SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 22:28SPEAKER_00: She made one out of five three-pointers and was on the court for 27 minutes.
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: What you're just getting cardio in?
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: What the what the fuck?
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: What the fuck?
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: We need some of these shots to fall, Ryan.
- 22:42SPEAKER_00: Atlanta cannot entirely depend on Angel, especially with a defense that is so good, like Golden State.
- 22:52SPEAKER_00: And if Ryan's shot isn't falling, somebody else is gonna have to step up and be a leader and help Angel out from the outside.
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 23:01SPEAKER_00: Don't get mad at me, chat.
- 23:03SPEAKER_00: Uh, what let me look at what the chat's saying.
- 23:05SPEAKER_00: Sarah H said, Sarah H, I think that might just be Sarah with a capital H.
- 23:09SPEAKER_00: Sarah said her shot's not falling, so it's okay not to shoot.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: Serenity said she needs to get out of foul trouble.
- 23:15SPEAKER_00: Sarah said we need Ryan to attack the basket.
- 23:18SPEAKER_00: Nikki said Reese held herself accountable for the last period of game one.
- 23:23SPEAKER_00: We need follow-ups like hers.
- 23:26SPEAKER_00: And yeah, the foul trouble is bad, but it's hard to be a defensive team and play aggressive defense and not foul.
- 23:31SPEAKER_00: So I guess it's just like being in control of yourself.
- 23:34SPEAKER_00: And Grateful Journey said, I think Duana Bonner and Ryan Howard need to show up today.
- 23:39SPEAKER_00: The third question, let's talk about Golden State.
- 23:41SPEAKER_00: Can Golden State protect the basketball?
- 23:43SPEAKER_00: Because they had 19 turnovers in game two.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: Atlanta scored 24 points off of those turnovers.
- 23:48SPEAKER_00: They made a lot of mistakes, a lot of unforced errors and some forced errors because Atlanta was getting some steals.
- 23:54SPEAKER_00: But can they take care of the basketball?
- 23:56SPEAKER_00: Golden State has to be more disciplined with the ball and focus a little bit less on the officiating.
- 24:02SPEAKER_00: And they also need to just like make shots.
- 24:04SPEAKER_00: And they've never been known to like be a really great shooting team, but they they do need to make shots.
- 24:07SPEAKER_00: If you're not getting any points, if you're stop, if you're trying to stop Atlanta from scoring, okay, and you're also not putting points at the board, you're gonna lose the game.
- 24:18SPEAKER_00: Now, will the free throws continue to be a storyline?
- 24:23SPEAKER_00: That's another question I had.
- 24:25SPEAKER_00: Is Atlanta gonna continue attacking the basket and drawing fouls?
- 24:29SPEAKER_00: Will Golden State adjust defensively?
- 24:31SPEAKER_00: And will the officiating conversation follow both teams into game three?
- 24:37SPEAKER_00: And and and and said, I'm so excited for the game tonight.
- 24:40SPEAKER_00: I love the WNBA.
- 24:43SPEAKER_00: C said Ryan can be passer.
- 24:45SPEAKER_00: Ryan, C said Ryan can be passive.
- 24:47SPEAKER_00: I noticed it against the Lynx.
- 24:49SPEAKER_00: Fax Hub said stop Gabby, and they good.
- 24:52SPEAKER_00: My question, and this is my last question for the game, is with the series tied one-one, who handles the pressure the best?
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: Atlanta has the home court energy.
- 25:02SPEAKER_00: Can they come in and not be too high or too low after their performances in game two and game one?
- 25:06SPEAKER_00: And really, can Atlanta show out?
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: Golden State really proved that they can win a finals game at home, right?
- 25:14SPEAKER_00: Can Atlanta take care of home court advantage?
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: Because both teams are chasing their first championship.
- 25:19SPEAKER_00: And my final thought is Golden State.
- 25:22SPEAKER_00: Do they have an answer for Angel Reese?
- 25:24SPEAKER_00: Because if she plays anything like they did, like she did in game two, the Valkyries are gonna have a problem.
- 25:30SPEAKER_00: And if they can stop her, who the fuck else is gonna show up?
- 25:34SPEAKER_00: Because we need somebody else to show up to the fucking game and support her.
- 25:38SPEAKER_00: Now, while the girls are fighting for a WNBA championship, the NBA boys are clocking in.
- 25:47SPEAKER_00: Before we go, here's everything you need to know about the new NBA season.
- 25:52SPEAKER_00: Okay, guys, the NBA is back.
- 25:55SPEAKER_00: Is anybody happy?
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: Let me know.
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: Is anybody happy that the NBA is back?
- 25:58SPEAKER_00: I love this for us.
- 26:00SPEAKER_00: I almost, because I've been watching so much of the NFL, forgot how much I love the NBA.
- 26:06SPEAKER_00: Like how much I live for the NBA.
- 26:08SPEAKER_00: Like it really is the most wonderful time of the year.
- 26:16SPEAKER_00: Here are five storylines that I think you need to know.
- 26:18SPEAKER_00: Okay, and then I'm gonna give you my takes from last night because you know the action started last night.
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: The NBA is officially back, and if you haven't watched a single NBA game since last season, don't worry.
- 26:29SPEAKER_00: Because in about five minutes, I'm gonna catch you up on the five biggest storylines you need to know heading into the 2026-2027 season.
- 26:36SPEAKER_00: Number one, can the New York Knicks repeat as champions?
- 26:41SPEAKER_00: The New York Knicks won their first championship in 53 years with Jalen Brunson, Carl Anthony Towns, and their championship core back.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: Can they do it again?
- 26:48SPEAKER_00: No NBA team has repeated as a champion in several seasons.
- 26:53SPEAKER_00: Guys, I'm wondering in the chat, let me know.
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: Can the New York Knicks build a dynasty or will someone take their crown?
- 27:01SPEAKER_00: Because there's so many good teams in the NBA right now and so many good players.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: Do the Knicks have what it takes, or was that just a fluke?
- 27:09SPEAKER_00: My second question: the 76ers, have they assembled a super team, or will this be the messiest group project we've ever fucking seen?
- 27:19SPEAKER_00: This could go one of two ways, and I am gonna get to the game last night.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: But just to give you an overview, LeBron James left the Lakers and joined Philadelphia.
- 27:26SPEAKER_00: Jalen Brown was traded from Boston to Philadelphia, and the Sixers also have Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxie.
- 27:32SPEAKER_00: LeBron James is entering his 24th season at 41 years old and chose Philly over several other suitors that wanted him because he wanted to help a new city win a championship.
- 27:43SPEAKER_00: But can they do that?
- 27:45SPEAKER_00: And the question everyone's been asking them throughout Media Day and this whole process is can all of these superstars coexist or is this going to be a problem?
- 27:55SPEAKER_00: Or are they not going to be able to establish an identity as a team?
- 28:00SPEAKER_00: Someone in the chat said, This is Tyrese's team, and the rest will follow.
- 28:06SPEAKER_00: Now, number three, the Celtics and Jalen Brown's messy ass breakup.
- 28:11SPEAKER_00: Okay, Boston traded Jalen Brown to Philadelphia for Paul George, and Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are no longer teammates.
- 28:18SPEAKER_00: Brown is now playing for an Eastern Conference rival in both of the teams we saw for the first time yesterday.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: It was a few reasons why Jalen Brown and the Celtics broke up.
- 28:27SPEAKER_00: Number one, they didn't want to pay him.
- 28:29SPEAKER_00: Simple as that.
- 28:30SPEAKER_00: Number two, they chose Jalen Jason Tatum over him.
- 28:35SPEAKER_00: It's just as simple as that.
- 28:36SPEAKER_00: They could have afforded both of them, so they think, and so they chose Jason.
- 28:40SPEAKER_00: And number three, this whole thing about his off-the-court persona, them thinking that he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and him streaming and all the other issues that they had with him.
- 28:49SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 28:50SPEAKER_00: But they traded him for Paul George, which I side-eyed.
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: I was like, Paul George.
- 28:57SPEAKER_00: Paul, keep a job, George.
- 28:58SPEAKER_00: I mean, damn.
- 29:00SPEAKER_00: Damn.
- 29:01SPEAKER_00: Damn.
- 29:04SPEAKER_00: We'll get to that in a second.
- 29:05SPEAKER_00: Um, I think the question going into the season, though, is who is going to win the breakup?
- 29:09SPEAKER_00: And let me know what you think in the chat or in the comments if you're watching me on YouTube.
- 29:13SPEAKER_00: Boston or Jalen Brown.
- 29:14SPEAKER_00: Who will be better off?
- 29:16SPEAKER_00: My fourth thing, ooh, and boy, is it obvious that I made these motherfucking notes before the game last night.
- 29:26SPEAKER_00: Victor Wimbanyama was supposed to be coming for everything.
- 29:32SPEAKER_00: The last time we saw Victor in the NBA Finals, and he made some very, very costly mistakes, they let the Knicks come back, have historic comebacks against them.
- 29:42SPEAKER_00: The last time we saw Victor Wembanyama, it looked like a villain origin story in the making.
- 29:47SPEAKER_00: It looked like it was going to be a scary season for everyone that came into his path.
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: Wimby led San Antonio to the 2026 NBA Finals and the Spurs lost the Knicks, and he's already among one of the biggest MVP favorites.
- 30:00SPEAKER_00: And San Antonio and Oklahoma City have developed a major Western Conference rivalry that Wimby has been more vocal about than some other people.
- 30:08SPEAKER_00: Wimby was vocal about the fact that he thought he deserved the MVP award over Shea Gildress Alexander.
- 30:14SPEAKER_00: He was vocal about the fact that he has a rivalry brewing with Chet Holmgren.
- 30:18SPEAKER_00: He doesn't fucking like Chad Holmgren, and it's obvious.
- 30:21SPEAKER_00: Is this the season that Wimby becomes the best player in basketball?
- 30:25SPEAKER_00: That's my question.
- 30:26SPEAKER_00: And the last thing is the NBA has new faces and new places.
- 30:31SPEAKER_00: We've got Giannisante Tacumpo in Miami.
- 30:33SPEAKER_00: We've got LaMelo Ball in Minnesota, the Minnesota Minnesota.
- 30:37SPEAKER_00: Don't you think they should change their mascot?
- 30:39SPEAKER_00: Because LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards, my God, my God, are they gonna have to get the bleeper working?
- 30:46SPEAKER_00: Leep in those press conferences.
- 30:48SPEAKER_00: Damian Lillard is back in Portland.
- 30:50SPEAKER_00: He's healthy and he's teaming up with Ja Morant, which who nobody is talking about the fact that Ja Morant plays in Portland now.
- 30:57SPEAKER_00: Um also Luka Doncic is leading the Lakers, who were called the what do they call it?
- 31:02SPEAKER_00: The show white Lakers, like the new white Lakers in their post-Lebron era.
- 31:07SPEAKER_00: Um and I think the question is which team made the smartest move this offseason?
- 31:11SPEAKER_00: I would say the person who made the smartest move this offseason was Kawhi Leonard.
- 31:16SPEAKER_00: He he fled the country after scamming the fuck out of the Los Angeles Clean Clippers and is back in the 666 in Toronto.
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: The Snowtime Lakers.
- 31:25SPEAKER_00: Thank you, John.
- 31:26SPEAKER_00: Yes, the Snowtime Lakers.
- 31:28SPEAKER_00: Now, uh, if I just want to give you guys a quick calendar for the girls.
- 31:32SPEAKER_00: Um, here are the NBA opening week matchups that I think you need to be watching.
- 31:36SPEAKER_00: Number one, Warriors versus Lakers.
- 31:38SPEAKER_00: You've got Steph Curry versus Luka Doncic.
- 31:40SPEAKER_00: This is the perfect matchup for casual fans.
- 31:42SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, I don't think either of these teams are going the fuck anywhere.
- 31:45SPEAKER_00: So yeah, whatever.
- 31:46SPEAKER_00: Cavalier 76ers is another good one.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: LeBron faces the team that he rejected.
- 31:51SPEAKER_00: And Knicks versus Celtics, historic rivals, defending champs, and a completely new Celtics roster.
- 31:59SPEAKER_00: Now, before I get out of here, can we talk about last night?
- 32:03SPEAKER_00: Can we debrief?
- 32:04SPEAKER_00: Can we talk about last night?
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: Because wow, wow.
- 32:09SPEAKER_00: The 76ers beat the Knicks 106 to 100 in LeBron James debut in a building that chanted, we don't want you at him.
- 32:17SPEAKER_00: He was fighting with fans.
- 32:19SPEAKER_00: LeBron was bald fighting with fans, telling these, I'm not from the we soft in the Midwest, I'm from Ohio, nigga.
- 32:26SPEAKER_00: I added the nigga, but it gave Barry that.
- 32:30SPEAKER_00: It gave Barry that.
- 32:31SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
- 32:33SPEAKER_00: Um, and Madison Square Garden, it was a season opener for both teams.
- 32:36SPEAKER_00: Philadelphia won 106 to 100, and before the game, the Knicks raised their championship banner.
- 32:43SPEAKER_00: They received their championship rings, and it was their first title in 53 years.
- 32:47SPEAKER_00: Fans loudly booed LeBron James during pregame introductions, and early in the second quarter, as he shot free throws, they chanted, We don't want you.
- 32:55SPEAKER_00: CBS notes that LeBron James had talked about loving the garden and reportedly dreamed of becoming a Nick.
- 33:01SPEAKER_00: Well.
- 33:30SPEAKER_00: The Knicks shot 37.2%.
- 33:32SPEAKER_00: Tyrese Maxie scored a game high 28 points.
- 33:35SPEAKER_00: Jalen Brown had 19 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.
- 33:38SPEAKER_00: And Joel Embiid had 13 points and 11 rebounds.
- 33:40SPEAKER_00: LeBron James finished with 14 points on 5 of 13 shooting.
- 33:44SPEAKER_00: He was 0 of 3 from 3, which it's doesn't matter, they won, with 9 rebounds and 7 assists in 34 minutes.
- 33:50SPEAKER_00: Jalen Brunson led New York with 21 points on 6 of 19 shooting.
- 33:55SPEAKER_00: LeBron James got into a little bit of an altercation with the fan.
- 33:58SPEAKER_00: He said, Fuck is you talking about?
- 33:59SPEAKER_00: I'm not from the West Coast, I'm from Ohio, baby.
- 34:05SPEAKER_00: I thought it was interesting that Mike Brown, the head coach of the Knicks, called the title celebration a possible once-in-a-lifetime thing.
- 34:15SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, like yeah, but like you don't have to tell us that.
- 34:19SPEAKER_00: Also, uh LeBron, LeBron flew his helicopter out of New York and said, Fuck you, Knicks, after they said we don't want you.
- 34:28SPEAKER_00: Because LeBron takes a court uh helicopter in and out of the building.
- 34:32SPEAKER_00: So love that for him.
- 34:33SPEAKER_00: Now, what does this mean?
- 34:36SPEAKER_00: Not much, okay?
- 34:38SPEAKER_00: Because I, as an NBA fan, don't like to make predictions until we are at Christmas.
- 34:43SPEAKER_00: The season's too long, 82 games is too many, people get hurt.
- 34:46SPEAKER_00: I don't make NBA predictions about who's good and who's bad until Christmas.
- 34:50SPEAKER_00: And if you do, God help you.
- 34:52SPEAKER_00: You must work for ESPN and have to or something because I I, however, don't.
- 34:58SPEAKER_00: It's too fucking long.
- 34:59SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know who's gonna be good in June.
- 35:02SPEAKER_00: How's you cool?
- 35:04SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't even know what I'm eating for Halloween.
- 35:05SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm not making no predictions till Christmas.
- 35:07SPEAKER_00: And if I that makes me a casual, get fucked.
- 35:10SPEAKER_00: Victor Womanyama goes one for 13 in the Spurs, 116 to 104 opening night loss to the Thunder and says, This is not the sport I like.
- 35:21SPEAKER_00: San Antonio, in the third game of NBA's opening night, Oklahoma City won 116 to 104 over the Spurs, who ended its title defense season by winning the Western Conference Finals in game seven against them.
- 35:35SPEAKER_00: The Thunder had led for all but the first five minutes.
- 35:39SPEAKER_00: Um Shay Gildas Alexander scored 32 points and was making shots that it's just like, what the fuck is wrong with him?
- 35:44SPEAKER_00: What the fuck is wrong?
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: This is why he was the MVP.
- 35:47SPEAKER_00: And Jared McCain scored 20 points with six threes on eight attempts.
- 35:51SPEAKER_00: Meanwhile, Victor Womanyama finished with 12 points, 13 rebounds, and six blocks.
- 35:55SPEAKER_00: And mind you, there was one point where he had the game, where he had the ball.
- 36:01SPEAKER_00: And like, or where um okay see the ball, and Wimby like had six blocks like in one possession.
- 36:08SPEAKER_00: It was fucking crazy.
- 36:10SPEAKER_00: His defense is insane, but he can't help it.
- 36:11SPEAKER_00: He's so fucking big.
- 36:12SPEAKER_00: But he shot one of 13 from the field and oh a four from three.
- 36:16SPEAKER_00: His only made field goal was a dunk off a lob from Fox at the end of the third quarter, and most of his points came from the free throw line.
- 36:23SPEAKER_00: Afterward, he said he was overthinking, hesitant, and indecisive and not enjoying himself in the court.
- 36:28SPEAKER_00: He said, I need to go back to playing the basketball I like.
- 36:30SPEAKER_00: This is not the sport I like right here.
- 36:35SPEAKER_00: I assume that Wimby will be back and he will be better.
- 36:38SPEAKER_00: Um, but you can't talk shit like I should be MVP.
- 36:42SPEAKER_00: And I think Wimby's learning a lot because last time we saw him in the finals, he built up this like little bit of a villain reputation that is just not him.
- 36:49SPEAKER_00: And I think he's learning a lot, is all I'm gonna say.
- 36:52SPEAKER_00: Um, and also the Pistons beat the Celtics 121 to 113 after trailing by 22, as Paul George scored 38 points in his Boston debut, and Jason Tatum shot six of 23.
- 37:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
