Yeah, KD sold. Y' all my fault, man. I really thought it was over, though. It. It wouldn't have made it to, you know, if. It wouldn't have got to the overtime. It wouldn't have made it anyway if Katie would have made that free throw last night, so.

[Host]

Oh, damn. Let's get straight to it. Yeah. Double OT still didn't cover the parlays, man. Opening night was as good as promised as Thunder got the dub against the Rockets. 125 to 124 and double OT first and foremost. Let's go to the pregame.

[Host]

Shout out to SGA. Listen, he showed up yesterday. 35, 5 and 5. Shout out to your boy Chad. Be hen 28, 72. Chad went crazy in the first half.

[Be Hen]

He kept him in the game, though. Chad. I mean, SGA had a rough first half, so Chad really got it going. Hit his first seven shots.

[Host]

My boy back n 1000% like you said, SGA struggled early on. I think by in the third quarter, he only had like six or seven shot attempts. He got it going in the fourth and OT as usual. Hey, SA went crazy yesterday. Mook. 39, 11 and 7. Five threes, the most he's ever hit. KD 23. 9. Quiet night. He fouled out, but it was late. Double OT thriller and Thompson twin had 18 and five assists. 07 from three. Let's go ahead. Roll the clip, man. A lot of highlights from this game.

[Mook]

Woo.

[Host]

First bucket man for KD as a Rocket light work in the middle.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Host]

Something slight. The Bulls is all night for kd.

[Mook]

Oh, almost still there. Eason tries to blitz it doesn't get it.

[Host]

Home side step like you said. Be here.

[Mook]

Check.

[Host]

Crazy first half, man. Getting to it. Didn't miss a shot.

[DJ Wells]

Ched on that this year.

[Be Hen]

Take on that every game, but, you know, lock us in for 15 a night.

[Mook]

That was so tough.

[Host]

I got PTSD from that.

[Mook]

That was so.

[Host]

Come on, man. To get the lead. Take them back out on there.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

Yeah.

[Host]

Light work, Caruso.

[DJ Wells]

Really be guarding Beans, bro.

[Mook]

That is crazy.

[Host]

Now. That's crazy right there. Let's stop there.

[Mook]

It's a Tech, bro.

[Host]

Is that a Tech right there?

[Mook]

Even though it's kd, the ref didn't call time out.

[DJ Wells]

I'm just saying. He called timeout four times.

[Mook]

Yeah, but the ref didn't acknowledge it.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, but that's just cheating, bro.

[Be Hen]

Everybody know.

[DJ Wells]

He knew Katie ain't had no time.

[Mook]

But that's being a veteran official. Look, I don't want the game to end like that if I'm on the other team.

[Be Hen]

You cheating, bro.

[Mook]

It's opening night. We back on NBC.

[DJ Wells]

He's screaming at you.

[Mook]

The.

[Host]

The vibes is high. The vibes is high.

[Mook]

We not ending the game like that.

[DJ Wells]

I respect.

[Mook]

Shout out to Zach. That's a great call. Great. No card.

[Be Hen]

They got on his ass, though.

[Host]

Now, listen, before we go any further, the only reason they get there is because in the fourth quarter, KD had a chance, you know, still the game. He missed that first free throw. They got the other one. SGA obviously hits the bucket to send him to ot. What's worse, KD missing that free throw or this one right here?

[Be Hen]

KD missing the free throw.

[Host]

KD missing the free throw.

[Mook]

This didn't even count. I mean, they ain't called timeout. Yeah, okay. Well played.

[Host]

All right. How to end the game, though? Double OT thrill, like you said. Yeah, they was hot about this one, boy.

[Mook]

He definitely called timeout. This was great defense. He just got to stay down. He had nowhere to go at that moment. That was like passing of the torch. That's how I took that, because I remember when KD was doing all that and OKC to rip through, getting the fouls and everybody. He was the best scorer, best player in the league in that moment right there. I was like, damn, he just passed the torch. Yeah, he got him with some shit you used to do.

[Host]

Damn.

[Mook]

Damn.

[Be Hen]

Lack of discipline right there, bro. That was a horrible foul. And that was the foul that sent you out of there.

[DJ Wells]

Kd kind of. He fumbled a lot at the end of that game, bro. We ain't used to seeing KD do that, bro.

[Mook]

Go ahead.

[DJ Wells]

I'm out. Miss free throws and a foul, bro.

[Mook]

Well, I mean, he's in a new situation and they don't have a legit floor leader. Like, I mean, they out there playing good team. They just kind of playing. They don't have nobody that like, really can put the offense together. The Thompson twin, like we were talking before the show started, they need to go hire Rondo. They need to bring Rondo to work with the Thompson twin. Like, he's Rajon Rondo. Yeah, Way more athletic and all that stuff. But if he's gonna play point guard, he's a Rajon Rondo point guard. Now. He doesn't have the IQ of Rondo at all. Like, he doesn't know the game like Rondo. Rondo could pick you apart. But his ability, like, he can get to the basket, he can make plays. He's good defensively, not really a shooter. So he need to work out. He need to learn how to play in the dunker. The dunker is like below the rim, under the basket. Cause all they did was send doubles on KD to Don and make them pass it to him. And he bricking them threes. He was Oak 7 from 3. He gotta learn how to play in that dunker. That's the only way he's gonna be effective till he learns how to shoot.

[Host]

Yeah, yeah. No, well said. Cause even some of the. Like, after that second one, he didn't even seem confident shooting himself.

[Mook]

Nah.

[Host]

In the side of the rim, it was just like he just shooting it. Cause he got to.

[Mook]

Yeah, he shot one in overtime and he looked like he was scared crazy.

[Host]

Now, that was wild. I know. They are a new team that got used to playing with kd, but you don't shoot that when you got Kevin Durant on your team.

[Mook]

Yeah, they didn't know how to get KD the ball at all. Like, obviously, we know KD is talented all around the floor. He can shoot threes, he can do whatever. But in a game against Lou Dort and they trapping ball screens, elbows, you gotta catch it on the elbow. So you gotta run some plays to be able to get Kevin Durant open on the elbow. And obviously, Stephen Adams, Sagon, these are some big dudes, they can set some screens. But give him a chance to catch the ball on the elbow. Clear out. Put Thompson twin in the dunker. Put Reed, shepherd, whoever your Shooter is Jabari Smith in a corner where KD got a little more room to operate. Like, Sagon was making shots. So you don't have to put him in a dunker. He can stay out there. They was gonna stay at home with him, but the Thompson tuning gotta go to the dunker.

[Host]

Like, okay, now, what I will say is that KD say, go pick a road. Look dangerous. That shit looks surgical. The way they was lining it up. And Obviously he hit 5. This is his record. I don't think this is anomaly. He gonna be shooting hell out the basketball this year. That could be dangerous until they get it out.

[DJ Wells]

They both threats, both scoring threats. They both can shoot, they both make plays. That's a tough pick and roll to cover.

[Host]

Now, listen, we talked about the PG position for the Rockets. Reed shepherd got a lot of minutes last night. Wasn't scared to shoot the ball at all.

[Mook]

Be here he wasn't.

[Be Hen]

But I just. I don't like that big lineup. So until they do, like what bro said, like, figure it out with the Thomas twins. They gotta switch it up, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Be Hen]

Or go find a veteran point guard somewhere that's in free agency or something that you can sign real quick or something. Cause that ain't gonna work, bro. But that big lineup trash I like. I like Steven Adams, but not. Not with them.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, but Reed ain't no he. He's a two, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, he's a two.

[DJ Wells]

He is. For now. Thompson twin gotta be the point until they figure it out and kind of put Reed off the ball so he can catch and shoot. He'll be more successful playing off the ball.

[Be Hen]

Yeah, I was spot on with the Van Fleet shit, though.

[Mook]

Yeah, he needed him back. Cause he could shoot. So, like, he know how to run the offense. Obviously, he would have got Katie the ball where he needed to get the ball. And you can't help off of him. Like them are daggers he gonna hit. He gets seven open threes. He making three. Yeah, but it's crazy. Literally. Thompson twin, when I think about it, he's Russell Westbrook, like, right? His explosiveness and how he gets to the basket. But Russell was just more of a point guard. Like he knew what to do. And now when I'm thinking, I'm like, damn, it might not have been bad if they picked up Russell, like, at least just to show him the ropes a little bit. Like, hey, we got the same athleticism, same build. You a little taller, similar players.

[DJ Wells]

He need that Russell confidence, though. Cause Russ, he ain't a great shooter, but he Ain't gonna be scared.

[Mook]

Yeah, but Russ used to go to the dunker. That's how he got all the offensive board. Like, the way he play, he need to play like Russell Westbrook.

[Be Hen]

True. But how long y' all think it's gonna take for him to, like, learn what y' all saying he need to do, though, bro?

[Mook]

I mean, he not a natural point guard.

[Be Hen]

Yeah. So I'm like, that's the telling.

[Mook]

That's why I said they need a rondo around him. They need somebo who's a natural point guard. Even though Royal Ivey good dude was a point guard. The level that that kid plays at and the level he needs a. He needs a rondo. He needs a hands on. Like, look, bro, this how the game is played. This is what you need to do.

[Be Hen]

All right?

[Mook]

And they gotta break film down with him all day and show him, like, look, mck. Like, you gotta know, even like, Reed shepherd when you running full speed. Like, I think Jamal might have said it last night. You gotta know where KD at at all times.

[Be Hen]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Like, if I'm a point guard. Yeah. Like, when we played with Kyle Korver, I knew where Kyle Korver was. Every time I was running down the court, that was the first person I looked for. I'm like, all right. Cause, you know, he a dagger shooter. We got Kevin Durant the best. Like, you gotta know where he is on the floor in transition every time. Like, in a lot of them games, a lot of them plays last night, KD was just running to the corner. I ain't never seen Kevin Durant just run to the corner. Yeah, they weren't looking for him at all. Tari Easton shot the ball, like, four or five times in a row. I'm like, damn.

[Host]

Yeah. I was agreeing that we was getting killed on Twitter. We talked. Obviously, it's only one game. We ain't gonna kill him too much. Like, Tari, we talked about him all summer. For him to come out and show the way he showed, I'm like, layoff. You know what I'm saying?

[Be Hen]

First game, and as bad as they played, bro, they could have won the game.

[Mook]

They supposed to win the game. That's a fact.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, they was.

[Mook]

Because OKC played just as bad. They had no shots.

[DJ Wells]

They ain't hit no threes.

[Be Hen]

Trey was struggling.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Be Hen]

Lou Dort.

[Mook]

Yeah. I'm about to say, Katie, I was so good. KD took three shots in the second half.

[DJ Wells]

Can't happen, bro.

[Host]

And it's a double ot. Unacceptable.

[Be Hen]

Lou north, strong ass Playing backboard dodgeball out there.

[Host]

Hey, man, listen.

[DJ Wells]

From no point guard, though.

[Host]

Okay? So he still gets a foul. Everybody boy, him and Caruso is out there going crazy. Hey, but listen, a bright spot. Talk about okc. Aaron Wiggins, please load the clip early. Cannon for get well soon. Yeah. Please don't jump with me, sir.

[DJ Wells]

He played good.

[Mook]

Hey, he made some shots. Getting checks, getting punched on. Shout out to Clint.

[Host]

Now. Eric Wiggins was hoopy yesterday. He had to. Houston got too many and one three. Yeah. The Houston big lineup. Listen, game one, shut it down.

[Be Hen]

Shut it down.

[DJ Wells]

That ain't gonna work, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, I like Jabari at the four.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah. I don't like him at the three. I like him at the four.

[Be Hen]

Yep.

[DJ Wells]

He's a four.

[Mook]

A versatile defender. He's. He's a really good player. Like, watching him last night, I'm like.

[DJ Wells]

Man, he hit shots.

[Mook]

Yeah, you talented, brother.

[Be Hen]

Yeah. Steve Abs got to sit it out, bro. Yeah, you clogging up the pain. It just looked weird. It just looked weird, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Host]

And you saw coach Ma Udoka coaching the entire game. That's what I like. You see him talking to the young guys, talking to Reed shepherd, like he's live action with these guys. Like, listen, I know we young. I know it's a new squad, but we gotta figure this shit out early.

[Be Hen]

Yeah. They just making some minimal mistakes, though. It's part of the game. He a phenomenal coach, 1,000%.

[Mook]

But think about it. It was game one. You playing defending champs. You a brand new team. Adding KD makes you a new team.

[DJ Wells]

High expectations.

[Mook]

You lost your point guard. That was a good opening game for them. They should have won the game. So I'm not mad at it, but just looking at it to be like a championship contender. It's just some things they gotta clean up. Obviously, the point guard position.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Mook]

And figure out they big lineup. Like, I'm not mad at they lineup. I wasn't. Cause they got some advantage. Like, Jabari was posting the little guards up. He went to the back to the post a couple times against Shay, got some easy layups. I wasn't mad. It was just like, they couldn't get into that because the pressure on the ball handler was too crazy. Like Reed shepherd was down there getting ripped at half court every time.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Trying to bring it up on Lou Dort.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Host]

And they had to in the fourth because that was the only way it was gonna.

[Mook]

KD couldn't bring it up. Lou Dort was on him. Started pressuring, but it's a gun. It's a gun to five. He a five. He was at half court, like, trying.

[DJ Wells]

To come off the screen four times.

[Be Hen]

The gun was tired.

[Mook]

He was.

Honestly, like, he. He kept him going. Even though some of their role players helped out, cuz. Like I said, Shay was slow, but.

[Host]

Elaine White says see yeah, Houston could definitely use Westbrook right now. What y' all think about Smith taking last shot?

[Be Hen]

That was nothing.

[Mook]

He just had to get the ball in.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, they just had to get the ball in, bro.

[Host]

Dang.

[Mook]

Well, it didn't work out one much time.

[Be Hen]

It wasn't though 2 seconds.

[Mook]

I had no more time out so I just had to get the ball in.

[Host]

Yep. Kenneth says love from the Carolina Super Dope, which I'M doing in the podcast space. I gotta run that Kendrick Perkins clip. He had the reporter shook. Yes. Kendrick Perkins is crazy for saying that on live tv. I can't wait till he comes on the show. We have a lot to talk about. Shout out to Perk. Ernesto says, love the pod. Keep doing great, guys. Excuse me. Beheads a straight fool. Do you think Trey Young will be a rocket if the Hawks don't extend him? Teague?

[Mook]

Oh, I don't. I mean, possibly. I mean, damn. No, I mean, you got to give up the Thompson twin. Maybe they want to give up the Thompson twin.

[Be Hen]

Give him up.

[Mook]

He can't shoot now.

[Be Hen]

Let's hold on. We gotta move on. But can't shoot, bro.

[DJ Wells]

You.

[Be Hen]

You signing the dot? Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Let me turn you on, bro. Trey Young, KD and Sengun feeds family.

[Mook]

Yeah. Sengoon that pick and roll.

[Be Hen]

Cause crazy, bro.

[Mook]

The thing that make a pick and roll effective is if the guard can score and shoot, right?

[Be Hen]

Yeah.

[Mook]

And that's what Trey Young can do. That's why he's so effective in the pick and roll. Right now, the Rockets don't have anybody that's effective in a pick and roll besides kd. And all you gotta do is double team kd. Yeah, and he's a natural scorer. He's not, like, a person that's trying to find people and pass out the pick and roll. Trae Young is dynamic in the pick and roll. As him and KD got in the pick and roll. Him and Segong got in the pick and roll. It started getting filthy, bro.

[Be Hen]

Bro.

[DJ Wells]

Championship.

[Mook]

Defensively, that's a different story. I mean, I think Emma got enough schemes that he could figure out how to, you know, hide Trey a little bit. But offensively, yeah, that'd be crazy.

[Be Hen]

You pushing the button on it.

[Mook]

Nah, I'm a Hawks fan, so I wouldn't want. I like the Thompson twin. I think we'd be cooked for years to come.

[DJ Wells]

For sure.

[Be Hen]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Unless we got another guard that was just like. Like we got Reed Shepard in the trade, too. I like Reed. Obviously, he not Trey Young. But we got Jabari Reed, Thompson twin.

[Be Hen]

All right, Jeff.

[Mook]

I wouldn't be mad.

[Be Hen]

He going crazy.

[Mook]

It's Trey Young.

[DJ Wells]

It is Trey Young.

[Be Hen]

It is.

[Host]

But y' all don't want him then. And so you gonna have to get what you can get. They don't throw a fit.

[Mook]

We want them. We just don't want to max it. They might not just want to play.

[Host]

Max, but y' all not getting all that.

[Mook]

Now, what is all that you just said Reed Shepherd. Yeah, people questioned him last night. He couldn't get the ball across.

[Host]

These people.

[Be Hen]

Jabari Smith.

[Mook]

Jabari is the great player. He on the Max and Thompson twin.

[Be Hen]

And the Thompson twin.

[DJ Wells]

DJ you nothing that's worth Trey Young, bro. You have to, bro.

[Host]

I don't disagree, but I'm just saying y' all gonna have to take a.

[DJ Wells]

Little bit less 25 and 12.

[Mook]

What we supposed to take? You getting an all star?

[DJ Wells]

I'm 25.

[Mook]

12, bro. Caliber players.

[Host]

Well, y' all don't feel like. Cause y' all want fam, so.

[Mook]

I mean, he 229. Max extension. They just trying to wait and see if we. Yeah, like, damn. Do we pay this kid max?

[DJ Wells]

Are they gonna be good?

[Mook]

Are we gonna be even? Good enough.

[DJ Wells]

Like, that's what they waiting to see if they gonna be good, bro. Or we give you all this money.

[Be Hen]

I ain't mad at that topic, though.

[Host]

Trae Young is a valuable ass. A hell of a PG for sure.

[DJ Wells]

The twin, he has to be able to shoot a little bit, bro. It's alarming. He's a good talent.

[Host]

He is.

[DJ Wells]

He's a great player. But that's affecting the game right now, bro. KD can't get to his spots because of that. They double teaming.

[Be Hen]

Yeah.

[Mook]

When he become a slasher and getting that dunker call.

[DJ Wells]

He's a good player, y'.

[Be Hen]

All.

[Mook]

Call Rondo, man. He'll teach him fast, man.

[Host]

All right. Derek says shout out to the pod. NBA was turned up last night. I gotta get back on playback. I got the high 50 for the new contract. Shout out to playback. We might be on there. Never know about the playback. Stop the panic. Says be here and crash our parlay hit. Got me 2000. Told my girl I'm going teague time tonight. Okay.

[Mook]

Be here.

[Host]

You need some residuals off that?

[Be Hen]

No, that's good. Because I know a lot of people really did. Because people were sending me screenshot me. They what's name. Like, Lou said he took KD for 20. Somebody else took him for like 15. So people won some money yesterday from that.

[Host]

All right, Shout out to be here.

[Be Hen]

All right.

[Host]

Uncle Willie's son says Reed shepherd needs to start Thompson better off the ball. Cutting and slashing. Smh. Put Adams in a bench. It's 20, 25. You don't need two bigs.

[Mook]

Yeah, I mean, I ain't mad at it, but that's cool.

[Be Hen]

I ain't gonna say you don't need to, but it's just not you need. I don't know. I don't know.

[DJ Wells]

The skill set don't match.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Be Hen]

Yeah. All right.

[Host]

First class. Kell says KD gotta stop being so cool out there. They had chances back to back possessions where he didn't touch the ball out of pocket. I'm gonna put that more on the other teammates when I get KD the ball than him. I mean, I know KD want the ball, but them young guys, they gotta recognize who they're playing with.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Host]

Nimsno ball says, do you guys think Lou Dorr did a good job at being physical? Kd, he was just pushing him out the way so he really couldn't get set.

[Mook]

Definitely.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Mook]

He did his job.

[Host]

World class defender. Molly in the super chat said, what's your thoughts on Aiden? Boy looks charming, soft for a first pick. I'm not sure about that Lakers squad. DJ got another five for a shoulder lean. That is crazy. But we were definitely about to talk to Lakers real, real soon.

[Mook]

Boy.

[Host]

It'S time to let it go. Go ball. Head.

[Mook]

Bitch.

[Host]

Starting the middle, my boy head. Hey, shout out to Joshua Kogi. Solid 20 minutes last night. Yeah, bro.

[Be Hen]

For my guy, man. Good feeling, man.

[Mook]

I love J O, bro. That's my homie for life, bro.

[Be Hen]

Yeah, it's probably part of this. You know what I mean? It's tribe, bro. I don't know.

[Host]

Respecting the lineage.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Host]

Might be time for a conversation. And super chat said, yo, Jeff, how do you feel about the Rocket Zone? I was watching, but the rotations were making sense and I feel it hurt them. That was interesting that they did go zone at one point too.

[Mook]

Nah, they zone. Actually. We helped them. That's what kept them in the game. They kind of. It kind of made SGA a little. Made him give up the ball.

[Be Hen]

That's a fight.

[Mook]

And Lou Dorton then was just bricking, so it was actually working in their favor. When they messed up is when they made the subs and they start going, man. And SGA started being able to get to them left hand pull ups.

[DJ Wells]

You gotta switch him right, bro. You go left as a bucket.

[Mook]

I mean, you can go either way.

[DJ Wells]

Easier for him left, bro. He's real comfortable.

[Host]

Bread butter, for sure. All right, man, let's get to the second game of yesterday. The warriors took care of the Lakers. 119, 109. Listen, man, Jimmy Bucket showed up yesterday. 31, 5 and 4. Steph had a light day, 23 and 4. Kamiga looked really well yesterday. 17, 9 and 6. I think he had 11 and third as well. Luca, 43, 12 and 9. Almost a triple double his debut this season. The most for his debut game in NBA season as well. Austin reeves showed up 26, 9 and 5. Let's go ahead and get to it. First, man. Old school Jimmy catching lives out here looking young again.

[Mook]

Told you my boy Jimmy still got it. He in prom. Prom. Jimmy.

[Host]

Look at that.

[Sponsor Voice]

[Host]

Shout out to the Kaminga. Hooked out yesterday. Young Jimmy. Listen, man.520 alumni leading the league of texts already. Not even on the court. Being our dog. Draymond starting the year off right, man.

[Mook]

Man, it's only right.

[Host]

Totally right, baby. NBA ain't back. So Draymond crash out 132 for Draymond. A lot of money lost.

[Sponsor Voice]

Distraught that they didn't call the basket interference.

[Be Hen]

Hook it inside.

[Host]

Horford say Luca don't play defense and get him blocked up. You got Marcus Smart being with the lay. No Turbo. This was so disrespectful. So disrespectful in the half, bro. That's Jimmy Butler, bro.

[Be Hen]

Come here, Jimmy silly, bro.

[Host]

That's so disrespectful, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, man. Lakers side.

[Be Hen]

[DJ Wells]

But you're gonna have to hurry up, bro, because they need him bad.

[Host]

November can't come soon enough.

[Be Hen]

He gotta be the coach on the floor, bro. I think Brian need to be out there telling niggas what to do, bro. Like, Luca just want to hoop, bro. He out there like, man, just watch out, bro.

[Host]

I got it, y' all say it, bro.

[Mook]

Hey, I just don't like that team. Like, I was a. I said they was gonna be a top four or five because of Bron and Luka. And when Bron get back, obviously they gonna be a better team. But hey, hey, helpers. I don't know what you want to say.

Yeah.

[Mook]

I don't like it. Austin Reaves is good. I don't like Rui. They need to get somebody else. It's just the. I don't know. I ain't never liked the Lakers. I never been a Laker guy and there's no shade. I know they one of the best organizations ever, top teams or whatever, but I just never liked their role players ever since they let Lonzo and all them young boys go. Yeah, I just ain't really been a fan. Even though they won championship, it's a fact.

[Be Hen]

Maybe Marcus Smart just gotta get used to being over there, bro. He. And he looks sad. Yesterday, four fouls damn near before the game. Even damn near halfway over is crazy.

[Host]

He didn't do those. Slammed.

[Be Hen]

Steph Curry got ejected, bro. Steph Curry showed her them to fill out soccer with him.

[DJ Wells]

But Marcus Smart is not the problem. It's Aiden, bro. We not expecting for Marcus Smart. For real, bro. We know he gonna play defense and he gonna do his little part, bro.

[Be Hen]

You missing the game up though, bro, with all that foul y'. All, in a way, bro. Can't even get their off, bro.

[Mook]

For real.

[Host]

Him and Kamiga was having back and forth segments. They were just trying to take charges and stuff like that. Third quarter got a little wicked. But speaking third quarters, Kaminga. Hey, 13 points, five for five. He was balling. See, you said he gotta be able to hit that. That shot.

[Mook]

Yeah, yeah.

[Host]

Some corner threes. Yeah, Step back. Come here, Aiden. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Aiden getting killed.

[Be Hen]

The Lakers have no chemistry, bro.

[Mook]

I mean, Aiden said they didn't practice together at all. Yeah, the whole time. So maybe that's the thing. Like, he don't know what he doing. He don't know what's vibes out there.

[Be Hen]

True. I didn't know he said that.

[Mook]

Well, damn.

[DJ Wells]

He say that?

[Host]

He said it. Doesn't change my opinion.

[Be Hen]

No, I'm just. But it shows. I didn't know that. Yeah, they don't have no chemistry at all. He's. He's not garbage, bro. But it just.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, he not garbage.

[Be Hen]

Like, I don't know. The Lakers is mid.

[Mook]

I ain't the first game. And if you haven't practiced with a guy a lot and you new to a team, you kind of just trying to find your role. You ain't trying to do too much, you ain't trying to do. You ain't trying to go crazy. They always got new. Yeah, yeah.

[Host]

But to talk about the winners, the Warriors. Jimmy looked real good yesterday. 31:17 in the first half. Real confident there. Was like we was talking about this earlier shout out to gay Vincent Boyd, but he was in hell. I don't know what J.J. reddick was on, switching him onto him, but it was Christmas, four minutes in a row.

[DJ Wells]

I was at the matchup, bro. Like, why is he guarding Jimmy Butler? Dave Vincent is 6:1, bro. He can't do nothing with Jimmy Butler. He was posting him having his way.

[Mook]

See, this is what I mean by the Lakers. Why I get mad like they wasn't supposed to ever let Caruso go. Like people like them, they were supposed to still be on the Lakers.

[Be Hen]

Yeah, you right, bro.

[Host]

You give him up for THC and then don't keep him out for sure.

[Mook]

Yeah, like that's what I'm like that I don't know. That's why he's been perfect for the Lakers.

[Host]

Yeah, 1000%.

[Mook]

You was supposed to go get him from Chicago, but you let. Okay, see, go get him. But whatever.

[Be Hen]

I hope Luka and Aiden figure it out though.

[Mook]

They will.

[DJ Wells]

They just need, they need Bron, bro. They do.

[Mook]

I mean, yeah, Bron is.

[DJ Wells]

I mean meeting a 40 year old is crazy.

[Mook]

They do the same. He make 50 million a year, he take up all they cap space. If Bron isn't there, I'm pretty sure they have a couple of good role players that will make this team a little different. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like Luka, they would probably won this game if they didn't have Bron and they had some more role players they could pay.

[Be Hen]

I mean, Luka need his old Dallas team back. He need the guys.

[Mook]

He need gas back.

[Be Hen]

Yeah, bro, he need PJ back.

[Host]

He my lobby thrust a couple people hit a couple shots, bro.

[Be Hen]

He need the guys back. Yeah, this ain't it. I like Austin Reeves though. He was even frustrated out there. I watched the first half, cuz that.

[Host]

Third quarter got wicked.

[Mook]

Boy.

[Host]

He got fouled. He had five.

[Mook]

Yeah, yeah. But I mean when Bron get back, all this gonna change. Because now you got another dynamic player. Yeah. Another 6, 9, 68 player that can. He gonna be motivated.

[Be Hen]

True.

[Mook]

He always wanna, you know, he always playing for something. Yeah, he trying to be the best. What is he, 41 now? 40? Yeah.

[Be Hen]

See, that's why I'm starting to agree with Mook though. When you gotta rely on a 50 year old to come and save you in the NBA, that's. It's a little nerve wracking.

[Mook]

I mean, it ain't when yo he making 50 million.

[Be Hen]

I understand that, but I'm just saying, just take the money out of it.

[DJ Wells]

He making that. We know why he makes that.

[Host]

He's Bron, I'm Lebron James.

[DJ Wells]

But he's still 40.

[Mook]

I mean, you were all NBA last year.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

You were top 10 in MVP voting.

[Host]

Yeah, top five.

[Mook]

You are our best player. Essentially one of like one or two.

[Host]

Yeah. 25, eight last year we missed that.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Host]

Like we got rude.

[Mook]

We got Gabe Vincent. And no disrespect to Gabe, but he is at the three right now.

[DJ Wells]

Facts. Trying to guard Jimmy Butler.

[Be Hen]

For real.

[Mook]

We got Gabe Vincent.

[Host]

That's supposed to be.

[Mook]

Brian.

[Host]

That's not the balls we was looking for.

[Be Hen]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Nah. So this Laker team is gonna be definitely better when Bron get back. We know that they probably be a top five team in the west, but last night it just looked a little alarming. Some of the guys we expect a little more of when Bron is out like a Jared Vanderbilt and them dudes.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Mook]

They just didn't step up last night, that's all.

[Host]

Well said. Back on the words. Listen, that third fourth quarter from Buddy Hill was crazy. Fourth quarter went crazy. Knock down shots. Will Richard, the rookie off the bench, got some quality minutes from him yesterday. Golden State always finds somebody who's gonna contribute to this team, Buddy.

[DJ Wells]

He'll feel he fit them so well, bro.

[Mook]

Come on, bro.

[Host]

Perfect, bro.

[Mook]

He a poor man. Clay Thompson.

[DJ Wells]

It's a great pickup, bro.

[Be Hen]

You gotta do that though. Yeah, I do that.

[Mook]

He.

[DJ Wells]

He's very capable.

[Be Hen]

Yeah. If he keep doing that, they a problem. I'm gonna quit hating on the warriors, bro.

[Host]

Yeah, you see he played 22 minutes yesterday.

[Be Hen]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

And that's valuable because he can get hot, bro. Like.

[Mook]

Yeah, they need a big though.

[DJ Wells]

They do.

[Host]

Yeah. To continue, they have to get a big.

[Mook]

And I'm not mad at Al hor for playing 20 minutes. That's perfect. They need one more big. Even though they got the quitting post. Whatever his name was. That's him, right?

[Host]

Yep. Quitting post.

[Mook]

Yeah, he. Not bad. But they need somebody else. Yeah, they need a. Vucevich would be fired.

[Host]

They get Vooch. How y' all feel about Walker Kessler on this team?

[Mook]

Love it. That'd be good.

[Be Hen]

Perfect.

[Mook]

Walker Kessler.

[DJ Wells]

But if they turned up, they get Vooched, though.

[Mook]

But if you get Walker Castle, you're gonna give up Kaminga.

[Be Hen]

You think so?

[DJ Wells]

They kind of got Kaminga too.

[Mook]

Boy, he look you gonna need They. I mean, the Utah. Unless Utah just.

[Be Hen]

Oh, Utah washed their hands with them.

[Host]

Nah, they.

[Mook]

We need that.

[Be Hen]

Oh, I thought they was like parting ways for real now.

[Host]

We didn't get to an extension for you, but we still. Yeah, we value. We vested. We're not giving up a double double for nothing. You gonna have to send something this way. Yeah, I can see now, Lori marketing. Yeah, you'll have to send the house for sure, but you could buy finesse. Walk.

[Be Hen]

That's a all star right there.

[Mook]

I don't know how. I don't know what they have to give. They can get Walker.

[Be Hen]

Kevin, you trading Kaminga for him?

[Host]

I didn't say that.

[Mook]

I said that's what Utah. They gonna want something back.

[Be Hen]

Damn.

[Mook]

I wouldn't trade, but I don't know. They don't have nothing else to give. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host]

Now we're here talking about it. Listen, crazy offseason for Kamiga. He showed up yesterday. If he's gonna play like this offseason. Yeah, that option gonna look real good. Cuz he gonna.

[DJ Wells]

He look good. Yeah, he look like he accepting his role. He just got good energy right now.

[Mook]

But he was a starter. I mean, that's all he wanted to be was a starter for sure. So the moment they put him in a starting lineup, his energy changed. So. Yep. He didn't look too crazy. Wasn't trying to force nothing. He just took what the defense gave him and he made it happen.

[Host]

And we didn't say this. I mean, Steph had 23 yesterday, but he didn't have the craziest game. But please, on the clip. NBA ain't back till you get a fuck you three from Steph. The end of game.

[DJ Wells]

He gonna do that?

[Host]

Yeah. This is crazy, bro. You didn't have to do this.

[Mook]

I don't know how you guard people.

[Host]

Like this Thousand game. Vince had A rough night, man. That's on.

[Be Hen]

Disrespect, respectful, bro, as a coach. What do you say, though?

[DJ Wells]

No, you can't say he shot a half course. Shot a half court. Three, bro.

[Be Hen]

I know, but no, I'm not talking about guarding that play. He gonna do some od. But I'm saying, like, the game plan. What are we game planning for Steph.

[Mook]

Oh, you. You deny Steph at all cost.

[Host]

Okay, he's at all cost.

[Mook]

I told you. That's how that Clay was able to get 65. Whatever he had on the. You deny Steph, like, got you.

[DJ Wells]

Wherever he go, you go.

[Mook]

That's why if you the two yard on the warriors, you can kill. Now, let's put this all in perspective. At one point, they had Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant. Good night.

[DJ Wells]

Good night, bro.

[Mook]

Think about that shit.

[Host]

That's not fair.

[Be Hen]

Oh, you're right.

[DJ Wells]

Good night.

[Mook]

That is crazy. Yeah, it's crazy.

[Host]

They got wicked. Listen, man. Shout out to the words.

[Mook]

Getting that dub.

[Host]

Get well soon to the Lakers. All right, man, we got some more games tonight. We'll see how y' all feel about them. First off, we got Cavs at Nick matchup. Josh Hart and Mitchell Robson are out, but these are supposed to be two top teams in the East. Who y' all going with tonight?

[Be Hen]

I got two big losses.

[Mook]

I got the Cavs, though, tonight.

[Host]

Got the Cavs.

[Mook]

And I feel like they gonna come out and try to make a statement, man. They was. They had a hell of a year last year. I just feel like it's their time, like, to prove it again.

[Host]

Okay.

[Mook]

So I think they got a little. They got a little more motivation. Obviously, the Knicks is supposed to be championship teams. They playing at the Garden, gonna be lit. But for some reason, I think Donovan Mitchell gonna try to put on the show.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I like the Cats, too.

[Mook]

Okay.

[Be Hen]

I'm gonna roll with the Knicks. I wanna see what Jordan Clarkson do.

[Host]

Oh, they got some, like you said, a lot for them too. New coach, new system. Some more role players.

[Mook]

Y' all seen what Cass said, though? Yeah. They said, how you like this new system? He said he didn't really understand his role in it yet. Mm.

[DJ Wells]

That's why I said the Cass. Cause I know they dealing with this new coach. They gonna try to figure all this out real quick. I think they gonna had to figure that out through the first couple games.

[Be Hen]

Oh, okay.

[DJ Wells]

They get right.

[Host]

Okay, we'll stay tuned. Listen, if you're watching this game, you really love basketball. To kick off the Nets at the Hornets.

[Mook]

That might be a vibe, though. That game might be a vibe.

[DJ Wells]

MPJ is about to try to get 40.

[Mook]

Yes.

[Host]

30. Let's go.

[Mook]

We here. I got under, but it might.

[Be Hen]

I got under 30.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Mook]

I think he might get like 23, 24. But, like, that might be a vibe game, bro. Cause MPGA Wild. Cam Thomas Wild. Lamelo.

[DJ Wells]

Wow. Lamelo about that.

[Mook]

Yeah. Miles Bridges. Wow. Brandon Miller. Wow.

[DJ Wells]

Very entertaining game.

[Mook]

Yeah, they might go for 180.

[Be Hen]

Nah, for sure.

[Host]

Hey, you know what? I'm gonna make my own crash on parlay for this game.

[Mook]

They might combine for NBA record in points tonight.

[Be Hen]

This is a T shirt. AAU game.

[Mook]

There's no excuses. For sure.

[Host]

Can't wait to see. You know, I'm sure I hold it at heart. For sure. All right, before we go to this game, me a Super chat. Yes, sir. All right. David in super chat says the current Lakers genuinely have the worst roster in the west, other than the Jazz. No way. I had to watch Re J Lar Ravia Dog Connect. Aiden, smart lineups last night. Yeah. That is disgusting. Yeah, I feel sorry for y'. All.

[Mook]

That's a wicked lineup.

[Host]

It'll get better, man. Brian be back soon.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

Don't worry about it.

[Mook]

Three white dudes in the lineup is crazy. Yeah. No, no racist shit, but just saying, like, that's the last time you ever seen three white dudes on the court in an NBA game at the same time.

[Host]

The 27. I mean, the 2007.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

What?

[Host]

Pacers?

[Mook]

Yeah. Like, it's been so long.

[Host]

Like, historic.

[Mook]

Austin Reeves, Jake Laravia and Don Connect on the floor at the same time. I haven't seen that in the NBA in a long time. There's no shade with.

[Host]

Aiden is smart. Ooh. I wouldn't play with that team.

[Mook]

It's the truth. Think about it. It's the truth, bro. That's a recipe for disaster.

[Host]

All right, Fat Low from the super chat says, how y' all feel about that Sacramento State roster? Do y' all think Mikey Williams going to the league? Shout out to Coach Bibby, man. Figuring it out.

[DJ Wells]

Facts.

[Host]

Hopefully. Hopefully Hoopa get a chance to.

[Be Hen]

I ain't seen Shaq son over there too.

[Host]

Yes.

[Mook]

Yeah. Shout out to them. Going to the league, Mikey, is probably over with. But I ain't never hating on a young man. But, I mean, I don't know. You gonna go to the league.

[DJ Wells]

It's probably got your work cut out.

[Mook]

Yeah, it might.

[DJ Wells]

It's not looking to the elite eight.

[Be Hen]

And he gonna have to average 30, 35.

[Host]

You work gonna be cut out. But, hey, we rooting for you. Go crazy, kid.

That is disrespectful. Shout out to Kamiga. Had a great game yesterday. No, smoke out, bro. Danielle in the super chat says, what game was y' all watching? To think Reed is an NBA player. He can't dribble or guard shot. Can boozer 33 and 12. 2. Yeah, we will talk about him later in the show.

He's definitely an NBA player.

[Host]

He had a rough night, but reshuffers need better.

[DJ Wells]

I'll do that, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah. I mean, it's his first time getting significant minutes in the league in a real game. It's all right.

[Host]

All right. Camo on the super chat says, yo, Jet, much love. Gotta bring the tour to Bmore. We got a Teague road. Only problem is right next to Assetig Road. Oh, all right.

[Be Hen]

I have no argument with you, T. I'm just talking about what's presented. Play you. You win brother. You win. All I'm saying is from what we know, y', all, I'm. I got more faith in BE than y'.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, I never say you gonna play. I just Said take him under for the play. For sure, for sure.

[Host]

But I'm just saying, the games that.

[Mook]

He actually gonna play, you can bank 30. You can throw a 30. Throw it right there.

[Be Hen]

I'm sorry, y'. All, And I swear to God, but say yeah.

[Mook]

8 minus is crazy.

[Be Hen]

I love y' all basketball knowledge, but I'm sleep on Joker and Shagun being in the same conversation.

[DJ Wells]

They not the same conversation.

[Be Hen]

I'm sorry.

[Mook]

Okay, so if I'm a Hunter, if he a hundred and I'm a 90, it's a. It's a big gap. But we can we in the same room. Like, I'm gonna go to that all star locker room, too.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah, we know. I know you better than me, but I'm still going to the game, too, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, like you. You might be sitting with Mike. This top 75.

[DJ Wells]

I'm behind, y'.

[Mook]

All. I'm behind. I'm in that. I'm in that 150.

[Be Hen]

All right, so. So. So Beyonce and Rihanna is in the same tier.

[DJ Wells]

And looks, they not in the same.

[Be Hen]

Is that a. A yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And on some version, on some. Some people list, it's a different way you talk about looks. Some people be like, I like a Rihanna over Beyonce, not me.

[Be Hen]

But we can move on, man.

[Mook]

Dj, do your thing. I like that. I like where you going now I.

[Host]

See where you cooking. Back at Super Chat. As they said, going back to the Rockets. PG situation. Go get campaign for the super low. Re Sher Little out there with the loose handle. Shout out to campaign, but that ain't the vibe.

[Mook]

They looking for no disrespect. Respect the campaign. I actually like him as a player.

[Host]

But that's not the mod.

[Mook]

They look that ain't about to fix nothing, bro. And campaign a good player, but kept.

[Be Hen]

Cam Cam, they out of pocket for letting you go.

[Mook]

I think the Knicks should have kept him. Cause now Brockton gone, they actually need campaign. But nah, not for the Rockets. That's a. That's a different type of job they need right there. Yeah, they need a real start and super veteran. Like, he's still an energy guy. Ain't nothing wrong with him being that. But they just need a different, different player right there.

[Host]

Well said. All right, Jen in the Super Chat says D, I played municipal guards growing up. Also, Kevin Hartbet employee. Durant is already banned for the season. Kd, AKA killing dollars. Yeah, he must have messed up the lay.

[Mook]

Of course.

[Host]

Had to hoop at the Garden, so rite of passage, especially on the west side.

[Mook]

Yeah, Facts.

[Host]

Kings in the super chat says Brian's the reason for all the young guys leaving. And look at Brian Matt yesterday. Bum leader. We need to trade, cuz. But I don't know if he can trade LeBron James. I'm sure a lot of people want him, but that'd be a crazy situation.

[Mook]

Yeah, I don't think nobody will trade for him anyway though. Yeah, like why are we trading for a 40 year old that you know at some point he gonna retire like facts.

[Host]

And if Cleveland does that again, that's crazy. There needs to be a study.

[Mook]

Nah, if Cleveland lose though, again, they should trade for Bron. If like, if shit gets spooky in the middle of the year, that should trade for Bronco.

[Be Hen]

Wow.

[Mook]

Brian ain't gonna go. But they should. He should though, trade for Bronnie and Brian.

[Host]

No, you have a trade for Bronnie. If you get Brian, it's only right.

[Be Hen]

My son stays, bro.

[Host]

Game one got people crashing out already. Love to see it. Little eight in the super chat says, I think a man is just a dark skinned Ben Simmons with the twin. Good player, but I don't think he'll ever be okay shooting. DJ do a backflip if he turns into Bill Simmons, bro. They. They won. I'm gonna say.

[DJ Wells]

Which one? Hold on.

[Mook]

[DJ Wells]

Simmons is a point guard.

[DJ Wells]

Like he's been there for three years, bro.

[Be Hen]

Yeah, he's locked for A.J.

[Mook]

Debence is the most upside player. Like, A.J. debence is gonna have games this year where he has eight points.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, but he gonna have a 40 ball, too.

[Mook]

Yeah, he gonna do you remember when Edwin Wiggins was at Kansas and he have a game where he had 40 and all these. And then he'll have a game where he had eight. A rough shooting night. AJ Devance is gonna have moments like that. He gonna have some bad moments, but it ain't gonna never look that bad. Cause he always gonna have 15 rebounds, 12 rebounds.

[Be Hen]

[Mook]

Yes, that's Al Horford for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Like next year he's going to be ready.

[Mook]

He's a more explosive. Al Horford. Damn dribble shooting threes. Al Horford was a good 15 footer, athletic post player. He's Al Horford on steroids right now.
