Good morning on, man. It was some crazy squabbles last night in basketball, man. But let's get straight to it, man. We gotta show some love in the NHL, man. The hiking fan said we need to tap in, man. One time for the Florida Panthers, man. With the repeat against the Edmond Oilers, man. Wrote a clip yesterday, man. Shout out to them boys celebrating back to back championships. I rock with it. Father 1 Put belt of ass. It was cracking down there.
Sports Analyst 2
Going to 3P too.
Sports Host
Okay.
Sports Analyst 1
That'S hard.
Host 1
That's. That's crazy. You go to a ice hockey rink in Florida.
Sports Host
You see that stadium packed, boys is tapped in.
Host 1
So that mean they going to basically go out to the club like you just played this cold sport. But you about to go to the club in Florida with your shirt off, turn up, open the doors and live. Yeah, that's hard.
Sports Host
Yeah, once we get off his license up for sure, man. Hey, salute to them, man. Winning once is hard. Back to back is definitely hard. I want to ask this question. Y' all think. Yeah, it's crazy. Y' all think we'll have any repeat champions in the NBA anytime soon?
Sports Analyst 1
That second leg, boy, you got a different win.
Sports Host
That Gatorade break. Tap back in. We thought the Celtics would repeat this year. Do you think we'll have any repeat champions in the NBA anytime soon? With the way the league is set up though?
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, it's looking. It's looking spooky for that, bro. I think back to back three peak days is over, bro.
Sports Analyst 1
Y' all think so? No backto back champions no more.
Sports Analyst 2
Not for a while, bro. Not the way the league is right now, bro.
Sports Host
Yeah, we look at this offseason already, just started, but Boyce is crashing out and we ain't even got to the draft yet.
Sports Analyst 2
Cuz I knew for sure the Celtics was going back to back this year.
Sports Host
Yeah, yeah, we chalk everybody chalk this year up and say, yeah, Celtics healthy. It's belt ass. And that was not the case at all.
Sports Analyst 1
That's true. That's true. I ain't mad at that take. I was trying to think of a team that really could do it. But y' all right. The league is wide open right now.
Sports Host
Most definitely, man. Shout out to the Florida Panthers, man. Back to back chance, man. Salute to y' all for sure. All right, man, we here. We won't be in studio tomorrow, so we gotta talk about it now, man. Game six. Do a die for the Pacers at the crib first. OkC. How we feeling, man?
Sports Analyst 1
Die. Nah, I'm just playing, man. I think the Patriots gonna get this one.
Sports Host
Okay.
Sports Analyst 2
I mean, is Tyrese hurt, or what is he doing?
Sports Host
The report came out, said he has a calf strain. They haven't said which grade of it, but I am expecting Tyrese to play tomorrow. Like we said. No if, ands or buts, bro. If you're on that court, you got to get to it. No injury excuse.
Sports Analyst 1
I mean, but if he can't walk, bro, sit down.
Host 1
I don't think he gonna play.
Sports Analyst 2
If he don't play, then we cooked.
Host 1
I think y' all gonna actually win with him not playing. But I don't think he should play, though. Cause that's how this is just giving me. I'm knocking on wood. I don't want anything bad happening to him, but this is the same thing that happened to Kevin Durant.
Sports Host
Yeah.
Host 1
You know what I mean? He tried to force the issue playing with that calf strain, and he popped that Achilles, so it's not worth it. You know, that's how I usually start that calf strain and work your way down.
Sports Host
So, yeah, that's what a lot of people were saying that was like, if it was grade two and above, then he shouldn't play that. Like, it's too much. I mean, even though it's NBA Finals, it ain't worth it, because you know what it could lead to. It's a grade one. You know what I'm saying? Go ahead and take that shot and lace up. It is the NBA Finals. It is game six. If there's any time you should jeopardize it, it's now. But to be realistic, it ain't that deep, bro.
Host 1
Yeah, it ain't at all, bro.
Sports Analyst 2
It ain't that deep, bro.
Sports Host
Yeah, bro.
Host 1
And.
Sports Analyst 1
But he probably thinking, like, man, we might not be here next year.
Host 1
They won't. Probably won't.
Sports Analyst 2
But I want to be cool, bro. Like, KD leg exploded, bro.
Sports Analyst 1
I don't want to do KD bounce back, though, bro. I don't know for. For Tyrese. I just think, man, he don't want to chance that. I think he want to play. I don't think he ducking no smoke. I think he gonna give it a shot if it ain't that crazy. But, I mean, y' all right. But I'm like, damn, this is a hell of a moment for them.
Host 1
Yeah. But ain't nobody gonna even be sad if they don't win. Like, the city's still gonna be like, damn, we had a hell of a run.
Sports Analyst 1
Nah. But, yeah, I don't even think he care about that, I'm just talking about from him, like, personally, bro. He wanna win a champion. If he win a championship, like, now.
Sports Analyst 2
This is major now. If you could play, you gotta push through.
Sports Host
Definitely. Sure.
Sports Analyst 2
If you can't play, you can't play, bro.
Host 1
I mean, I feel him, but yeah.
Sports Host
I wouldn't feel no ways if he. If it was too bad and he couldn't play. You're injured, bro, but like you said, if you're on that court, you got a hoop.
Sports Analyst 1
I tell you what, you say that, but the Pacer to just point, the fans, oh, they going to go in on him.
Sports Host
Oh, the new Facebook Pacer fans, they're going to slander him. They going to call him all up, hurt.
Sports Analyst 2
Last game in, he hurt us more than helped us. So if you can't play, just don't play, bro. You gonna be like that.
Sports Host
So, yeah, man, it's gonna be a hell of a game. A lot of people think that our bench can play good enough through this game. Sick. With or without Tyrese to get us to game seven.
Host 1
I do.
Sports Host
I am hopeful. I am praying so. But what I've seen from that OKC team, granted, they were in okc. Look, we got our work cut out, man. But like I said, versy first time right back against the wall elimination game we have not seen at all playoff series. I would love to see how we bounce back. We gotta give up a good fight. I mean, we lose.
Sports Analyst 1
Cool.
Sports Host
Gotta fight.
Sports Analyst 2
If Tyrese don't play, Ben gotta rock.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah. Y' all gotta let him rock out, bro.
Sports Host
Yeah. TJ Nash is gonna be playing 34 minutes.
Sports Analyst 2
I don't like.
Sports Host
Get your rest.
Sports Analyst 2
I don't like that, bro.
Sports Host
I hate it.
Sports Analyst 2
I like him coming off the bench as a spark, but him being the lead guard for 40 minutes, bro, I don't think he.
Host 1
I don't think he's still gonna start. Even if Tyrese don't play, he's not gonna start the game. They're gonna put Nim hard at the one.
Sports Host
Okay, hang on.
Host 1
Denise Smith and probably like Mather Tibbs.
Sports Analyst 2
Used to do stuff like that.
Host 1
Yeah, he's still gonna play his same role. He probably gonna play more. But he gonna still come off the bench.
Sports Host
Yeah, most definitely. All right. For the Pacers to win, who gotta have a big game.
Host 1
I'll start with you, T. I'm gonna go with Benedict Mather. I think Tyrese, if he plays, I don't think he's gonna be great. Cause you gonna be second guessing it a little bit. Just Naturally, like, shit. If I step too hard right there, that mug might pull for a grade two, you know what I mean? So I don't think he gonna be that super aggressive. I think he gonna be able to be on the floor and make some threes. But I think, like, Benedict Mather has to play well in Neem Hard. And TJ Nash, they gotta have a moment.
Sports Host
Is he still. You know what I'm saying? Despite the injury, still good enough to be somewhat of a decoy?
Host 1
Not really. Because after I show y' all this video. No.
Sports Host
All right. For sure. All right. MOOC for Pacers. Get a dub. Man who gotta show up, man, we.
Sports Analyst 2
Need Miles Turner to wake up, bro.
Host 1
Okay.
Sports Analyst 2
Of course we need Pascal to do his thing, but I really think been in the math room is gonna have to step up, bro. You go out there, get us 25 tonight, we'd be in good shape.
Host 1
Yeah.
Sports Host
All right, Cool.
Host 1
All right.
Sports Host
Be him for. Okay. See the closest out the crib, man. What they got to do, man?
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah, well, for okc, we just gotta play like we did the last game. But for y' all to win, I think y' all gotta stop fouling so much, bro.
Host 1
For sure.
Sports Analyst 1
I got. Y' all gotta slow down on them fast. They take advantage of y' all. Once y' all get in foul trouble, they pick on y' all.
Sports Host
Now I'm gonna say, against who now? Cause sga, he gonna get them calls regardless. Ain't no we could do.
Sports Analyst 1
I mean, y' all was fouling Jalen, too. He was going to the strategy strike like, they shot some free throws in that game, so I just. I don't know.
Sports Analyst 2
We gotta change up that defensive game plan, too.
Sports Analyst 1
Siakam gotta look like one of them ones. He gotta look like Kawhi tonight.
Host 1
Yeah.
Sports Host
And you know what? I think he's capable. I think that Kawhi. I mean. Excuse me. Kawhi Siakam is definitely capable of getting us game six. He can kill, but the role players have to help him, bro.
Sports Analyst 1
I mean, yeah, if Tyrese is out, you know what I'm saying? He. They going to have to do something. Yeah, but, I mean, that's y' all asking a lot, too. Y' all know Nim Hart want to play like AO from N1, so.
Sports Host
Well, it's volume four. Tap in if there's any time for you to come.
Host 1
Hoop.
Sports Host
We need you right now, brother. For sure. All right, man. In the super chat for a second, Agent Morellis said, morning, y' all. Are we ever going to get an offcore pot of y' all sneaker collection. That would be dope. Maybe one day. That'd be cool. I ain't mad at it until you go to the closet. One day?
Host 1
No.
Sports Host
Well, that's dead. All right. Jay in the super chat says, sick of them here BullDaggers hating on CC fever to crash.
Sports Analyst 1

Sports Host
Because I'm telling you right now, that's the first thing I was like. I was like, oh, boy. If she was black, the way the video, it looked like the black girl.

Host 1
We won a Game 7. That's good for basketball.
Sports Host
All right, man. You know the vibes, man. Game seven on the way, for sure.
Host 1
But can I teach y' all something about the game? Cause I'm a. I'm a basketball nerd. And for the longest, I've been saying Tyrese Halliburton doesn't go left. I said it against the Cleveland Cavaliers. I even made a call to the Cavs and was like, man, y' all don't realize he don't never go to the left side of the court or he never go to the left. And a bunch of people sent this to me today, and they were just like, teague, you've been saying this from series one, series two, and you will look at his shot attempts in this finals. He never go to the left side of the court.
Sports Host
Ain't no vibes over there, bro.
Host 1
It's nothing over there.
Sports Host
Ain't no vibes on left field.
Host 1
You never see a left hand layup?
Sports Host
Nah. A lot of buckets over here.
Host 1
That is amazing that, like, all the analytics and all the people, they have that study the game, they still haven't realized that all you got to do is force him to the left sometimes.
Sports Analyst 2
They trying to, bro, he just getting his off.
Host 1
No, I'm not saying he not good, but I told you, I studied. I studied him and I studied Chris Paul, and Chris Paul and him are very similar. So when I was watching the. The Cleveland series, I'm like, hey, man, I need to play them how we play Chris Paul. I did all my film studies on Chris Paul when he was in the finals, and I know he never shoots left hand layups. He only shoots threes going left. And it's when you bag up and go under a bunch of times and he get that one little pound dribble, he'll shoot a three. He never shoot mid range going left. Everything he do is a right hand fade. When he get to his midi, he never going all the way to the basket with his left hand. And I was like, man, he got same similarities as Chris Paul. They pass way better going right because they can get downhill and make that skip pass or whatever. They don't pass really well with their left hand. And I'm like, damn, he reminds me of Chris Paul. And I ain't gonna lie. I called one of the coaches from the Cavs, and I was like, look, this is how y' all can beat him. And then I watched him switch every pick and roll and let him get to his right hand. I'M like. And I'm like, like, I'm like, what y' all. What are y' all not hearing me? Like, do y' all not understand?
Sports Host
No weapons formed against us. Your problem.
Host 1
Literally. And then look at all his shots on the left side of the floor.
Sports Analyst 1
That's where they jump him too. On that left hand side.
Host 1
It's all bricks.
Sports Analyst 1
Like, he was jumping him over there. It's crazy though, to see that.
Sports Analyst 2
But I've literally told me that about Chris Paul, my rookie year. I swear to God, he doesn't use his left hand at all ever. And he really don't.
Host 1
He don't.
Sports Host
You know what's funny?
Sports Analyst 2
He's a Hall of Famer.
Host 1
He's one of the. But he know how to. He's so good. Like, he's really good at getting back to his right hand. Yeah, like, you can't stop. Monte Ellis was like that. He never used his left hand with his right hand.
Sports Analyst 2
Side with his right hand, bro.
Host 1
That's.
Sports Analyst 1
How about that. Keaton Aldrich was the same way. Yeah, he never went left.
Sports Host
Hey, how we go from Montel to Keenan Aldridge?
Sports Analyst 1
No, I'm just saying to see something like that to like.
Host 1
But that just tell you how good they are at deceptive and then like, be able to use their ability to get to where they want to go.
Sports Analyst 2
But why not just learn how to use your other hand a little bit?
Sports Host
It's not odds movement.
Host 1
I mean, they use it good enough where you can bait you to get back to their strong hand.
Sports Analyst 2
Shoot no left. I have not ever seen him shoot a left hand like, oh, you never.
Sports Analyst 1
Would over here for in and out and get back.
Host 1
Yeah, that's what they do.
Sports Analyst 1
He get you one of these.
Host 1
He right back to it every time.
Sports Analyst 1
You break it down. I never thought about like that till I realized, like, damn, that really does happen.
Host 1
Yeah.
Sports Host
You know, it's funny too. Remember year before last I said something about Jay lebron not having the left hand and got the biggest deal ain't been history.
Host 1
Hey, it's good.
Sports Host
Like, that left hand is overrated, cuz.
Host 1
If you that good and nobody can stop you from getting back to you right here. That's amazing. But I know what they do just to hate on.
Sports Analyst 1
He don't even have one to use. Well, hate on my boy Emmanuel 1. Oh, my God, the real right hander.
Sports Analyst 2
He can't even fake.
Sports Analyst 1
He bump that nub. Knock it back.
Sports Host
Hey, he got the coldest in and out ever.
Host 1
Hey, on me, bro.
Sports Host
In and out. Vicious, bro. He Be in and out twice.
Host 1
He is a. If he had two hands, bro, he would be a NBA all star. NBA all star.
Sports Analyst 2
But he doesn't. So you can't go left. I'm not letting you go right.
Sports Analyst 1
Two of the best point guards in the league. Don't even use it.
Sports Analyst 2
Y' all just said they deceptive.
Sports Host
They go left a little bit.
Sports Analyst 2
He don't have no left at all, bro. I'm forcing you left. You can't do nothing, bro.
Sports Host
Hey, you know, it's what. Yeah, Kids go argue. Well, they don't have a left, but.
Host 1
The thing is, they. They can go left. They just. Like. We know Chris Paul and Tyrese Halliburton can go left.
Sports Analyst 1
Oh, yeah.
Host 1
But they're really good going right. And y' all still let them get back to their best hand. Like, they. Y' all let them use what they do really well. But I know how they get back to it. I mean, they go off the screen, flip the screen, get right back to your right hand. Yeah, I mean, that's what Chris did. Like, I'm going go off here, come back to it again. I'm going get back to my right hand. And now we in trouble.
Sports Analyst 1
Pesos is pissed right now. Y' all going to show this on that platform.
Host 1
No.
Sports Analyst 2
It was just amazing trying to win the finals.
Sports Host
Hey, listen, he making calls now. That's crazy. I didn't know about that.
Host 1
I did make a call.
Sports Host
That is nuts.
Host 1
I did make a. I did make a call.
Sports Host
My cleaver hate would have been times 10 if I'd have known that.
Host 1
I wasn't hating, but I was just, like, watching. Cuz, y' all know they my friends, for real. I don't know nobody on the Pacer. I don't know nobody on the Pacer staff, but all them coaches on Cleveland, them really my. My guys. So I'm like, man, am I missing something, man?
Sports Host
If Tyrese would have got trapped off some ball screens for that, man, they would have been like, yeah, you know what I'm saying? This is our game plan. And to hear that for you, I would have been pissed.
Sports Analyst 1
I'm happy killed Todd Jerome N. I.
Host 1
Told y' all, Ty Jerome let it get back to where he was in trouble.
Sports Host
He got wicked for sure. All right, man. In the super chat for a second, Donald Gosa said, t. How you did the career progress of D. Wade versus Clay for wrestling? Who had the better career, Sting or.
Host 1
Booker T. Okay, Booker T. Had a better career. Sting had the longevity. He more. Probably more iconic. But Booker T had a better career because he went to WWE when he left wcw. Sting stayed over there too long. Then he had to go to them other wrestling stops that we ain't gonna mention right now. They weren't really hitting on nothing.
Sports Host
Yeah, for sure. Shout out to Burger T. Shout out to sting. 414 Russ said, if you can swap one moment from each of your NBA careers, good or bad, what would it be and how. What would it be and why? Excuse me. Could it be a game, a trade, teammate, or even a play you wish went differently?
Host 1
What's your go ahead be? You can swap one moment from your NBA career.
Sports Analyst 1
Oh, let me go back to the early 90s. Give me swap Kevin Johnson, Gary Payton. I need another dog.
Host 1
You was Charles Barkley.
Sports Host
Hey, Charles Barkley and Gary Payton would have been crazy on the same team number. Fist fights.
Sports Analyst 2
A lot of fights, bro.
Sports Host
The only two NBA players here. Y' all want to answer that?
Host 1
If I can swap one moment for each of you. If I could swap a moment, LeBron would have got traded somewhere else and we could have went to the championship. I don't know. He would have stayed in Miami. I don't. I don't know. Went to the Lakers earlier, so.
Sports Host
