  Speaker 1: What did do y'all? We back again another installments of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the grounded show some light back again. Man, looks like
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of people been locked into this Lebron thing.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It's it's still been continuing the little saga, especially carrying
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: into the Lakers and kind of like their playoff chances
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Anyone of the Pat McAfee show.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then actually responded, Yeah.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: He did his big one on there, Steven. That's something
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: that's something that Lebron has never done. He's more been
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: a off the court, a more humble approached guy. But
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: he went on there like a heel like that. That was
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: his heel turn. He went on there and just spit
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: everything he was feeling about everybody. I think the Pat
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: McAfee show is a kind of outlet where you want
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to do that because they keep it real on there.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: For sure, I think he the way he did it
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: was good. I think it's a little lot of character
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: for him, but I mean I enjoyed it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's also it's also this thing now where
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like he like kind of like Lebron said
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it in the clip, he's seen Stephen a kind of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: going on his little media run about the situation, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: he kind of wanted to just give his side of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the story really so like nobody could run with or
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: speculate or basically to like take the air out of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that news cycle, because after that quickly shifted to like
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the playoff push, you know what I mean. And speaking
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of the playoff push, man, we were actually gonna do
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the music. But let's get into this. Let's get into this.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Sports is that two or three games left in the season,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a couple of.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Games left in the regular season, three games for most teams,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and today the day that we're recording it, and we'll
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: actually drop this probably tomorrow, just to keep it relevant
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to what's going on in the NBA. But dog the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: shocking news man, Mike Malone fired. He's the head coach
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of the Nuggets. You know, they are a couple of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: games out of the playoffs. I mean, they're in the playoffs.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I'm saying they are a couple of games away from
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. So it's kind of crazy.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he lets the prevalent team though.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean he led them to a title
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a year ago. I mean they didn't win last year,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they won the year before, and it's just insane. How
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: many head coaches that won titles have been getting fired
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in the NBA. Bro I think that I saw a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: graphic going back to I think twenty nineteen, every coach
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that has won a title has been fired except for
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Steve Kerr. Damn, every single coach that has won the title,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Steve Kerr and Joe Mizzulah for the Celtics because they
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just want to still their coach. So I mean, they're
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the only coaches that haven't got fired that have won
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the title since like twenty nineteen or something like that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So what do you think it is?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Why are these why are so successful coaches getting fired
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: at this point?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: So one of the main reasons they were saying that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Mike Malone got fired was they say he lost the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: locker room. Whether it be they got tired of his message,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't relating to this group of players or something,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but something wasn't working there, And I mean it's a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: crazy move. They informed the GM that they weren't gonna
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: like rehire him or extend him past his contract, so
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he didn't necessarily get fired, but he's basically not going
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to be there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: So how important are the coaches now to these winning teams,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: if they're just getting released like that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's partly not just the importance of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the coach, but now there's certain players that are kind
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of bigger than the franchise, and I think in Denver,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Jokic is that guy. So to me, honestly, bro like
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it had it had to be something with Jokic, yeah,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like something about and not
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: even specifically that he had an issue with Jokic, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the people up top maybe saw like, man, we kind
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of flounder and we should be better with the guy
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that we got on this team. Somebody, somebody could be
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in here doing better than what this guy doing. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like they've been playing well as
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: well as they can with the type of players that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: they have that are struggling, Like Michael Porter Junior hasn't
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: been really good lately. What's his name, Aaron Gordon hasn't
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: been that good lately. I mean he's a little older
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: as well, So I think it's also them asking a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: lot of him in lately, just later stages of his career,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And he's still balling, He's still putting up MVP numbers.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yoki is still doing his thing. Man Murray's been
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: like kind of like streaky, but he's definitely been coming
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to form lately. And I mean I see them as
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a threat for sure for the title. I see. I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: mean when you look at the West right now, like
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the way that the playoff race is is insane. Any
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: team could kind of fluctuate between that, like tu the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: two to eight range really right now, like and then
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: even like Minnesota's been on like a little skid, but
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they've beaten most of the teams that are in there,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: so they own the tiebreaker basically, so they kind of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: hold their fate in their hands. But it's kind of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: crazy to even think about the way people have been
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: talking about the Lakers and all the little drama around
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: their season and everything, and how sneakily good they've been playing,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Like they just out of first place, like by a couple.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're balling. They got and they got role players
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and they don't have like.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, they're just out of second place.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: They don't have like the egotistical role players. They got
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: dudes who just want a ball. And I think that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that that is the most important factor of a team
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: like that because that carries on into the playoffs as
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I'm here to do my job, not to shine in
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, you know what I mean, Like just win games,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: be a team player, be a role player, and I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: just try to make a name for myself so I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: can get paid and get better contracts or anything like that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That is what establishes a good team versus a team
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: with all stars.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I mean they're a team and something
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that they lost with Anthony Davis, they kind of gained
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: with just the pure talent they have Now. It's like
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: they kind of all banded together and said, we're gonna
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: figure this out. We got too much talent on this
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: team to not figure it out, you know what I mean.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And I feel like, man, I don't know, Man, the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Lakers are a kind of scary team. I would say,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: if you're in the playoff seeding as another Western Conference team,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: kind of looking at the matchups.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I think I think the Lakers are really back to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: being the showtime Lakers. Like they're really bringing back to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the era. Like they're not just winning games, they're making
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: crazy plays. Like Austin Reeves the Lobs, he throws to Lebron,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: like there's the fancy moves they made. Luca he was
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: like going up for a jump shot and he threw
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the ball back to get an assist for the three.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Like they are not just winning, they're putting on a show.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Like I really feel the showtime Lakers kind of ambiance
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: is coming back and that is igniting a fire in
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: them that makes them want to win, and they're going
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to win. They're gonna win a lot of games and
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to have a good run in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's kind of like what I was alluding
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to as far as like seeing them in the playoffs
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: because it's like that's a team with Lebron and Luca.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Bro, That's what I'm saying.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You got Luca leading the charges like the young lion,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and then like the king of the tribe is in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the back, you know what I'm saying, Like kind of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: like on reserve, Like this literally was what was the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: vision for Lebron when he first came to the Lakers,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: if you remember back and when he first won the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: ball Lakers, it was kind of like this thing of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: like even before that, before they found success, the whole
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: idea was like putting these young players around Lebron that
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: could playmake so that he can kind of choose his
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: spots and reserve his energy. But he ended up still
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: being such a big part of the team and being
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the driving force when realistically he shouldn't have been doing
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that in those later stages of his career. He was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: just defying in his forty Yeah, defying science basically, bro
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: in his forties. But now he can pick his spots.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Where like, they got a big win over OKC, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I think he only scored like nineteen points. Bro, you
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like that, you can't imagine a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: game where they beat the number one seed late in
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a playoff push and Lebron got nineteen points. You're gonna
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: be like, where did those other points come from? But
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Austin Reeves been hooping, obviously, they got Luca Aarchi. Mura's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: been playing good, gave Vincent been playing good off the bench.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got some nice pieces, man, I'm liking them.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I'm liking the Clippers, I'm liking the Timberwolves. But I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: need to see what version of Randal we get in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and then I'll kind of know, I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: definitely like them better with Randall than I did with Kat,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: just because I didn't like Kat in the playoffs. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: felt like played a little soft people that live and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: die about a three, especially at that size. In the playoffs, Bro,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: they usually don't succeed.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's what D'Antoni not. That Tony
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: tips control on the Knicks when he came over, made
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: him be more of a big man. He still lets
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: them shoot, he still lets him get them threes off,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: but he's actually playing the big man role on the Knicks,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: which is what was needed.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doing what we envisioned that he could do
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: on the Knicks as far as like exactly what you're saying,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Like he's actually playing that role of Like, Bro, you're
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: seven foot dog, like you know, get in there, make
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: stuff happen. Yeah, you got the shot, but use the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: shot as like a secondary thing, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you got to open up your game with the inside game.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And it's the thing about basketball, bro, Like no matter
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: how much the game changes, like throughout the years, or
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: like the way the regular season is, when the playoffs come,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the game slowed down not so much in the beginning rounds,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but as you get in the later rounds, it's back
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to regular playoff basketball, slower gains structure where you can't
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just be chucking three.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Zone position players. Is like that. If you're Steph Curry
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and the Warriors, I get it, but you're not. There's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: not another team like that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: But even Steph, I mean, he's lost titles on stacked
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: teams where it came down to that three and that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: three didn't drop, you know what I'm saying. He pulled
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: out a little more grit in the Boston series, the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: series they won, you know that twenty twenty two I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: think title. You know, he showed like another level there
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: where he really you know, he got his MVP, like
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: he earned that MVP as opposed to before you know it,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: with Dalla, got that first one where it was like
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: people were scratching their head, like Steph Curry is the phenom,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like he got with Dalla,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: got a finals MVP for getting destroyed by Lebron like
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it's insane, by James, I mean, it's crazy though, And
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: then you know, obviously when KD was there, he was
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: clearly the best player on the team. But even with Steph,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you know, like he had to be exceptionally, exceptionally exceptionally
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: great Olympics Olympics exactly he had. He had to be
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: exceptionally great to break that curse of shooters not being
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: able to get that big one, because you can't think
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of Reggie Miller, ain't get it, you know what I'm saying,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Sto jakovicch ain't get it. You know, kerk got one,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: but he wasn't never a main option or he was
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: never somebody they were looking to.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Head that one shot that Michael passed it to him,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: any of that game winning shot, But outside of that,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: he didn't get that recognition like Curry does.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That even makes me think of some curse said recently
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: where he's like, man, I'm old enough to have been
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: teammates with I believe he said Kareem like maybe in
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: his later years, because you know, Kareem played into like
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the late eighties, and he's like, you know, just the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: type of stuff that he's seen in basketball is like
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a wide range of things he was talking about, just
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: like some feet that happened recently, maybe Jo Kisch or
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Lebron or something. But it just made me think of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the fact that dang bro Steve Kerr has been around
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: crazy basketball.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And that's why I think coaches who actually there's a
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: lot of player coaches, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: coaches who were players in the NBA, but not such
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: prominent players that had runs with out standing teammates and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: all stars like Steve Kerr had. And that's why, like
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I was into the pivot earlier, like Anthony Hardaway is teaching,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: is coaching. He's a head coach at Memphis now is
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I'm a may Like the experience you have playing with Shaq,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: playing with the teams you played with, playing with the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: players you played with, going through the experiences of winning
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and losing. I think that's what makes you a better
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: coach and better experience coach, because once you get in
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, it's a whole like you said, it's a
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: whole different game. Like you got to play structured classic basketball,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: like each position plays their position. There's not just getting
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: away with it. You have to play structured basketball at
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that point when you're in the playoffs.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you don't have that experience, you have
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to be an all time level observer to really, like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you know, what I'm saying, because there's definitely some coaches
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that ain't never play at a high level exact that
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: have that eye for coaching it and know how to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: explain the players where to fill in gaps and stuff
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: like that. You know, one that I think of is
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Greg Popovich. I think he played in college, but I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: think he played for the Navy team, you know what
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like it wasn't even like he was like
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a top prospect or anything.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Like that, but he was an observer.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But he knows how to put a team together, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: he knows the right type of basketball to get these wins,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So yeah, man, going back
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to these playoffs, Man, we didn't even touch on the East,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: but the East is kind of like the.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Calves bro without Lebron. They're about to make a name
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: for themselves for the first time without Lebron. I love
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: that and I love that for them.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: They're giving me Atlanta Hawks in the twenty tens vibes. Man,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not looking at I'm not looking at the Calves
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: as a real They're gonna have to prove it, you know.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: They're kind of like in the ok C Bowl to me, like,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: all right, prove it. You know what I'm saying. We've
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: seen this, We've seen this before with so many teams,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: bro that they just never never got the big one,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like, it's just that you
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: gotta they.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Have such a great season and get knocked out in
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the first round. Yeah, that's rough. My Knicks looking good, though,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not mad at them.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: The Knicks. The Knicks are a couple of injuries on
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: other teams away from winning.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: The Buster came back though he came back last I
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: think last week, not even last week, just a couple
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: of days ago. And we're saving them. I know we're
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: saving him. We're gonna save his juice AO for the playoffs,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and I think he's gonna hold down. I think Cats,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: the Cats coming in real good, progressing with the team,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: love is. I think they're gonna They're just gonna do
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: their thing.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Man. I feel like the Knicks would need, uh, the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Knicks would need Kawhi Raptors type run to win it. Yeah,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Like they need like other players to go down. They
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: need Brunson to be going insane out of his mind
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: as the other player goes on to them like they
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: need stuff to happen. But I feel like in the East,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: like teams that can win, like realistically, like it wouldn't
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: surprise me at all. Boston and Milwaukee.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are the two Boston.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Kay. I don't like Boston. I don't like how they play,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: but but they're they're so good defensively and they shoot
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: so well. Bro, that's like that's the thing about Boston.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Like like like you said, Bro, I hate Boston too,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Like I've always thought they was corny as a team.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I never liked the brand of basketball Boston played like
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: any team bro, two thousands, nineties, even like the eighties
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: bird stuff, like because I used to watch all the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: NBA TV Classic playoff runs and stuff like that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: B Michael Jordan never beat.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I never liked that Boston play playing style. Man.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: But I will say Tatum got a battery in his
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: back because you got no playing time in the Olympics.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Think that's still something that weighs on him. He still
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: got a chip on his shoulder, Like now, I'm still
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: that dude, y'all gonna see it, even though he bit
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: off everybody's celebration win when they won the title. Uh,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Jayleen Brown has a great regimen. I think he trains
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: way harder than probably.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Tatum was doing emotes when you the title. Yeah yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: he had a meme checklist in his phone.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I see that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I need to be every meme on this run.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Somebody said, what was gonna happen if we didn't win?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I guess we didn't find out from Kanye.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Dane, Kevin Garner, Curry what they're gonna say now what
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: yo yo?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, he.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Was getting in stones the celebrations.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Like, please prepare yourself with original celebrations if y'all make
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: it anywhere near the finals this year, please Bro.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: He's like my son. Anytime my son gets v Bucks
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: or Fortnite money, Bro, he goes straight and spends his
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: money on his skins and motes and dances. Bro. That's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum. Bro, that's all he wanted to do when
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: he won.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: His dude stole off everybody, everybody celebration. Guy. That also
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: tells me, I don't think he thinks he thought they
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: were gonna win, because if you if you know you're
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: gonna win, you gotta get your celebration ready.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: It brouh because it's like, I don't know necessarily, like
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: if he didn't think they was gonna win so much
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: as Bro, I feel like he just knew Brown how
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to go off, you know what I mean, Like, I
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: don't know, Bro, Like Jason Tatum is nice and all,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: but like when I watch him play, he don't give
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: me that vibe. Like I feel like Brown is the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: one there that really is like the one that's like
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: striking the striking the hearts of the other team, you
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like when I watched him play,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I'm more scared of Brown every time. Like Tatum is good, bro,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: but Tatum reminds me of like a Rashard Lewis or something,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he's I don't know, bro,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Like he kind of just gives me that same vibe. Honestly.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: No, So, who do you see? Give me the East
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: and the West finals. So I'm gonna give you conference finals.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Give me the conference finals.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you what I would like to see
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and what I think we're gonna see. All right, So
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs, Conference finals in the West. What I think
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: we're I mean, it depends on the Seaton too. We
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: haven't we haven't seen the seat and we'll revisit this
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: once the seating is set. But I could see it
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: being like Nuggets Lakers in the conference finals, which should
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: be fire. I could see it being Clippers and Nuggets
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: are Lakers, you know what I mean? Clippers Lakers will
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: be insane, Bro, conference final. That would be my c
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: TV Bro.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: That's like the Subway series of LA Yeah.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Facts, But who I realistically see maybe like Denver, Okay,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: see a team that I could realistically see in there
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: honestly is the Lakers. Bro. I don't think it's like
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a long shot. I don't think it's a Shannon Shannon
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Sharp haiku, you know what I mean? Like I just
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I just honestly feel like they could be in that finals.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah you don't he don't care, he said, Lakers, And fine,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: no matter what LaaS Today, Brian Windhorse was like, he's like,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: what do you say? He says, Steph Curry, Chicken Curry,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Tyson Fury Nakas in three. But yeah, so, like I said,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I realistically see is that? Then in the East, who
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I realistically see is Boston Cleveland, Boston Cleveland or Boston
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Bucks, any any iteration of that? Who I would
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: like to see is the Bucks in Cleveland. That's what
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I would like to So. Then in the finals, who
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I think is gonna be is the Nuggets and the Celtics,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: with the Nuggets getting the Dovinski. What I would like
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to see is the Clippers and the Cavs. With the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Clippers getting the Dovinski. I want to see Kawhi get
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that ring with the Clippers.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I still say that's yours. That's a little biased.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go out with this dog. To me, what
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: your healthy? Kawhi Leonards, bro is the best basketball player
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I ever seen in my life.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Dog.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: In my life, Bro, I've never seen somebody play like
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the NBA was a video game. Yeah, Like he will
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: dead ass. He'll dead ass hit a three, steal the ball,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: hit another three, steal the ball. Hit like I've seen
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: them be down by like nine, ten, eleven, twelve, that's score.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Get the ball, score, get the ball like.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Bros Tracy McGrady thirteen second runner.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I've seen him do that multiple times. It's insane, Bro.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Like he honestly, to me, Bro, when he's healthy and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: he's like one hundred percent, Bro, he is the best
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: best player in basketball. Dog. Like that, I've ever seen, like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: better than Jordan, better than Lebron, better than anybody, better
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: than Kobe Dal. I don't care, Bro, because he plays
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: offense and defense exceptionally well. It's insane, Bro. He will
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: literally switch and guard the best player and shut him
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: down and at the same time give you thirty five. Bro.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: It's insane and.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Not small ones and not small one time, I'll give
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: him off laps and final take. I don't think the
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Nuggets make it to pass. I don't even think they
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: make it to the Western Conference finals, let alone to
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the finals. I'm gonna say that. I don't think they're
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: making it. Everything else I agree with you on, but
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: lagas in five legas
