[Mook]

I ain't mad at it, man.

[Bishop]

[Mook]

You got a heavy wrestling background, so you gotta respect it. But for me, I'm nothing, man. HBK all the way. End of the regular season, man. We got the play in start today, playoffs kicking off. But the regular season recap, man, a lot of things took place this season. Let's go ahead and try to recap some of these things. First things first, did we expect the Thunder to look this good? I know we all said they had a chance to repeat, but did we expect him this crazy year, too?

[Bishop]

Yes, bro.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Yes.

[Mook]

Do they have any type of a championship? You know, they always had to hangover, layover the honeymoon phase from winning. They look still as good as they did last year.

[T]

Yeah, and they ain't been healthy all year. People been in and out the lineup.

[Bishop]

Yeah, J Dub, he was out for a long time.

[T]

He was out for a long Time for a little bit.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

They were still getting it done and they added Jared, which is crazy. Them, they're cheating for real facts.

[T]

Yeah, they look good, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah. I know we talked about the stats may not be as high as they could for Chet and his impact. You think he took another step this season?

[Bishop]

I don't. I wouldn't say another step. I just think. Shit. He just showed that he still liked that.

[T]

For real though.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Cause that's still fair. 17 8. You don't expect 30 from Chad, but what he bring to that team on both ends is crazy.

[Mook]

Yeah. Like you said, man, 17:9, second in the league in blocks as well. Right there.

[T]

Shooting 55% on this team. That's all he gotta do.

[Bishop]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. A big leap. I wasn't expecting to go too crazy. Cause they already had the formula to win.

[Mook]

Yeah, we just like he's the third option on this team.

[DJ Wills]

Take for sure. Yeah, J Dub is the second option. I think we learned that from the playoffs last year in the series with the Pacers Championship series, Boy, did we. J Dub went crazy. But sga, another MVP season. Yeah, J Dub, like you said, he hasn't been healthy a lot, missed a lot of games or whatever. But we know he's capable in the playoffs. We know he gonna step his game up with him and Chet, they go back and forth with it too. But for me it'd probably be J D. Yeah.

[Mook]

We talk about the other players on this team who had produced. Yeah. We have to roster right here. Move. We looking, man. A.J. mitchell hooped out this year. He averaged Denver at 14. Aaron Wiggins had a crazy coming out party this year.

[DJ Wills]

Isaiah Joe.

[Mook]

Isaiah Joe been balling this year. Facts. Jalen Williams played big for them. With Isaiah Hardstop missing time for sure.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, well in play, baby. Kayson Wallace, man.

[Mook]

Kayson Wallace top three in steals. This plug and play. Yeah, this is a scary team, man. They all locked in.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah,

[Mook]

yeah, definitely. Cause you got Thomas Orb in the wings too.

[DJ Wills]

Yep. And they gonna have another high pick.

[Mook]

They are definitely gonna have another high pick. Which is scary.

[T]

Not to sound presti, bro. He's goaded.

[Bishop]

Yeah, Sam Presti to go to this shit.

[Mook]

Yeah, I know he got a lot of flack cause he didn't get that ring until last year.

[DJ Wills]

But he is only 27. Isaiah Hardenstein. Yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

He a young big. He gonna get paid again though.

[T]

All you gotta do DJ is get one, bro.

[Mook]

That's a fact.

[T]

Your dudes get one.

[Mook]

That's a fact. Yeah. Kendrick Williams, I know. He was 31.

[DJ Wills]

Damn. He's a great playmaker. That's probably his best asset. It's like his playmaking ability.

[Bishop]

True.

[DJ Wills]

Playing out of the ball screen or playing out of the picking dribble handoff. When he getting that scene. Damn. He down on average a double.

[T]

Double ten.

[DJ Wills]

Damn near 2% of the field.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[Mook]

And obviously we know Cav's a better player, but some people feel like that Knicks team, they missed Hardenside on that first run because they do like you said, the plug and play the rebound and play making get open shots that

[Bishop]

was able to get his shot off because of Hardenstein for sure.

[DJ Wills]

But the way he. The screen setting that he did for J. Bronson and that little floater shot, boy.

[Mook]

Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Har a really good player, man. He done turned out to be a really, really good player. He super valuable and I think he's going to be really important for that run again into the championship. They probably gonna have to move on from him and Caruso, though, for sure.

[T]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Bishop]

They can get rid of Elmer Fudd too, bro.

[Mook]

Elmer Fud, bro. Case in case of walls in the postseason, bro.

[DJ Wills]

That defense was crazy.

[Mook]

Don't do it.

[T]

Don't just have some injuries.

[Bishop]

We're talking basketball today, man.

[Mook]

Blitz and last year. I'm happy I don't have to deal with them again.

[DJ Wills]

Revisit that conversation.

[Bishop]

Nah. Cause we just talking. Oh, we break it down.

[T]

I mean, Zo just had some injuries, bro. His knee up, man.

[Mook]

Y' all lost a ball, man.

[Bishop]

Availability is the best ability.

[DJ Wills]

38.

[Mook]

Yeah. Lou dork. I've been playing middle linebacker. They haven't done.

[Bishop]

They're able to hide it though, bro. So it's cool.

[DJ Wills]

Tough years for Lou.

[Mook]

I don't know if he gonna be in the squad next year either.

[Bishop]

Coach don't even care.

[Mook]

Yeah, you gonna have to, Lou Dork. That's like apron ball.

[DJ Wills]

They gonna have to move on Luke Dork.

[Mook]

But they got a lot of tough loss.

[DJ Wills]

They gotta pay Kayson Wallace.

[T]

They missed three lockdowns, bro.

[Bishop]

Yeah, that's a tough loss, boy.

[DJ Wills]

It's gonna be a tough loss. They gotta pay Kayson Wallace, though.

[T]

Shit.

[DJ Wills]

You can't lose him.

[T]

Nah. You can't be young and he played just 22.

[Mook]

Quality player. You said with SJ out, he get to it as well. Hell of a defender.

[T]

He locks, boy.

[DJ Wills]

But you know what's crazy? He's probably a real lower deal, you know what I mean?

[Mook]

Somebody give him some Money a contender.

[Bishop]

And he might be content with just not saying. I don't want to put that on him. But he won the bro. He probably.

[DJ Wills]

You're like, yeah, you probably want to

[Mook]

get us some bread now. What if a team likes Antonio was to say tap in blue door.

[Bishop]

They don't need him though.

[T]

They don't need him. They even no room for him.

[DJ Wills]

They got Carter, Bryan, bro.

[Bishop]

The youngsters.

[T]

So they got 10 players too.

[Bishop]

Lou Dort need to go. Somebody I don't know that need.

[DJ Wills]

It'd be at the Lakers.

[Bishop]

Yeah, they need somebody like that.

[DJ Wills]

You'd be at the Lakers.

[Bishop]

They need to go to Boston or something.

[Mook]

All right, man.

[DJ Wills]

The Lakers. When LeBron leaves, it's gonna be Luca and the defenders.

[Bishop]

I like that name.

[T]

And a pick and rope.

[Bishop]

I like that name.

[T]

Be looking.

[Mook]

This gonna be a lot of people

[DJ Wills]

playing all defense like Dallas was.

[T]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Dorian, Finney, Smith and a lot three.

[Mook]

Jor.

[DJ Wills]

I had all defenders and a lot three.

[Bishop]

They bring the Dallas vibes to LA

[DJ Wills]

once Brian Lee don't have to be

[Mook]

able to get Daniel Gafford.

[DJ Wills]

Come on. You know he on the way.

[Bishop]

Respect. So damn. Y' all getting rid of dominating.

[T]

See you later, killer.

[Mook]

The simple Andrews. Yeah.

[T]

See the out of la and it's

[Mook]

probably good for him too.

[Bishop]

Y' all gonna say dominating the Memphis facts.

[T]

Yes, they need him.

[DJ Wills]

Oh, they got Zach Edie.

[Mook]

Yeah, we'll keep up with nominations. Not la, but this other team looking scary, man. We'll see what happens in the postseason. Also, the Spurs. Did we expect the spurs to be this good? 60 game.

[T]

Yes.

[Bishop]

I didn't see 60.

[Mook]

Okay.

[T]

I did think they was gonna be good.

[Bishop]

Yeah. I had them being good though. They did.

[DJ Wills]

I thought they'd be like four or five seed in the west, but I ain't think they'd be the second best team.

[Mook]

They.

[Bishop]

Damn. They're just. Nah. They not just as deep as Thunder, but they a couple pieces away though.

[T]

They just pretty similar.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[T]

I was about to say I think

[DJ Wills]

they actually deeper pulls in the Thunder.

[T]

They pretty real.

[DJ Wills]

I think they got better players than the Thunder. I think the Thunder's a better team.

[Mook]

I like Shane Burke down.

[DJ Wills]

Everybody knows that Rogan a little better.

[T]

More talented don't make a team better.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, but like having Dylan Harper off the bench.

[Mook]

Fire.

[DJ Wills]

Having Mike what's Kelton Johnson off the bench.

[Mook]

Fire.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, them. Them talented players like Basel be hooping

[Mook]

and they give you quality minutes.

[DJ Wills]

Fox. I think they got more talented players. You got HB off the bench.

[Mook]

Come on.

[DJ Wills]

Man, you got Kelly Olenek, like people that we know. You know what I mean?

[T]

True.

[Mook]

Luke Cornette come off the. Probably give you quality minutes.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. Carter Bryant, like. Yeah. I think they got more quality players off the bench. I mean, talented players. I shouldn't say quality, it's just that

[Bishop]

they big three, bro.

[DJ Wills]

They big three Nasty.

[Bishop]

Chad, J Dub, sga.

[T]

But they kind of. You got Fox, Wimby, Castle. Castle, or.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I'm cool with that.

[DJ Wills]

But the big joker is SGA. He the big joke.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

1,000%.

[DJ Wills]

You know what I mean?

[Bishop]

True.

[Mook]

But J Dub, ah, Wemby.

[DJ Wills]

Wemby and Chet. Give me Wimby, J Dub and Castle. That's a toss up to me.

[T]

Me too.

[DJ Wills]

So it's like Fox, sj.

[T]

He's better than Fox. But I still.

[Bishop]

I love Castle. J Dub is a killer, though. Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

I was gonna say Jalen Williams is killer.

[Mook]

Four or five Now.

[T]

Jalen Williams is cold, but it's a tough Castle. Coach Castle ain't showed me that though.

[DJ Wills]

Nah. So I guess you'll get data up there. But they right. They.

[Bishop]

I see what you're saying though.

[T]

He just ain't had that moment yet to solidify.

[Mook]

And some of the stuff I saw in Stepon Cassidy, like that game where he locked up Cade. Like, you see moments like that. All right. We gotta see it in the postseason, but I like that.

[T]

Nah, for sure.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

So hopefully they meet. But like you taking Aaron, like Aaron Wiggins, he showed up in the playoffs, so. Yeah, but are you taking him over Basell?

[Mook]

I don't roll with them for sale.

[T]

We'll go ahead and go for Zeal.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

All right, then you got Kelton Johnson. You take in Kelton Johnson or Alex Caruso.

[T]

Kelton Johnson, bro, he been on. I don't know. Caruso a champion.

[Mook]

Two time champ too.

[T]

He was on USA Team.

[Mook]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, it got a little. It got a little wicked.

[T]

He was on USA Team, bro. So whoever that little shit was killed.

[Mook]

Oh, the slick team. Yeah. Kelton Johnson. Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Wills]

I'm saying, but you know, these are dudes that's on the bench and you like, true. Damn. Like Harrison Barnes or Jalen Williams. You know what I mean?

[T]

I don't.

[Bishop]

Yeah, well, I'm taking Jayla Williams. I love the out of here.

[DJ Wills]

I'm talking about big man.

[Mook]

But he be coming in minutes too.

[T]

He do, he do. I ain't.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, yeah.

[T]

Give me him over here.

[DJ Wills]

Luke Cornette, all them like,

[T]

[Bishop]

Yeah, I'm cuz.

[T]

I take Luke.

[Bishop]

Huh?

[Mook]

Casey Wallace or Dylan Harper.

[Bishop]

Oh, freaky deal.

[DJ Wills]

That's. That's what it gets.

[T]

Like that, bro. Not like that, bro.

[Bishop]

I'm taking this.

[DJ Wills]

I might have to take. I love Dylan. I might take Dylan.

[Mook]

Would look crazy. Okay, see, he locked.

[DJ Wills]

It's more Jerry McCain or Dylan Harvey.

[Bishop]

Dylan. Dylan is so efficient, he don't even be playing that many minutes, bro.

[T]

Okayson. Wallace be locking, bro. He'll lock Dylan Harper up.

[Bishop]

Loki. No. Match it up. Line it up.

[DJ Wills]

He probably would line it up.

[T]

I got you, bro.

[Bishop]

Everybody, that's my taste. But what Dylan did this year, bro, in limited minutes. What? What? Dylan. How many minutes to be playing Lou? No, bro.

[T]

He be killing, bro.

[Bishop]

For real, bro. Come on, man. It's 58 minutes in the game. 48 minutes in the game.

[DJ Wills]

They got overtime.

[Bishop]

That's quality, bro. 50.

[T]

Definitely quality. He's good.

[Bishop]

22 minutes, bro.

[T]

He's hooping.

[Mook]

He's quality. Shout out to these young spurs team. We'll see what they do in the playoffs, man. They gonna have a hell of a journey if they get to okc. But we will see. Moving on to Pistons. I don't think anybody expect the Pistons to be the number one seed in the East. I know we've been high on this team, Cade as well as our guy. I didn't see this at all. But shout out to the Pistons. Hell of a season for them, man.

[T]

Who's gonna be the number one seed?

[Mook]

You thought who?

[T]

The Knicks.

[Mook]

This was their season to do it. I mean, JT got hurt.

[Bishop]

Y' all didn't say number one, but y' all always had the Pistons. I got on y'.

[DJ Wills]

All.

[Mook]

Listen, I think I was the first

[DJ Wills]

one on that bandwagon.

[T]

I thought the Knicks was gonna be the top.

[Bishop]

You. I gotta get DJ too, though, bro.

[DJ Wills]

Nah, DJ was the first one on the cage.

[Mook]

Yeah. I'm the president of Cade Cunningham.

[DJ Wills]

He was the president of Cade Cunningham. You was a team when they got to Bias Harris. You remember? I was like, you right. They team gonna be smooth. We down in the basement. But he was definitely the first one to say Cade Cunningham had MVP potential. I give him that. He was like, bro, y' all ain't watching hard enough.

[Bishop]

Y' all still believe since the playoffs are starting?

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, I believe.

[Mook]

I believe, bro.

[T]

I got came back, got a couple games in before the playoffs start, I believe.

[Mook]

And the way that Jalen Duran is playing, like you said, Kevin Herder has been phenomenal for his team the second un. Uh, Dennis Jenkins been hooping Paul Reed, always hooping whenever he get in the game. Marcus Sasser, Ron Holl. I believe in that second unit, bro. Um, I don't know if it's enough to outmatch the team in the. In the conference finals, but I think they can get there for sure.

[T]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

But if they made it to the championship, do y' all think they can be somebody on the west side? Ooh.

[T]

No.

[Mook]

I don't think they have enough firepower to beat okc41, bro. Or the Nuggets or the Spurs.

[DJ Wills]

I think they could beat the Spurs.

[T]

I don't.

[Mook]

I don't know.

[DJ Wills]

I don't think they could beat OKC or Denver Spurs. Yes. And there's no shade to the Spurs. I just feel like they on the same. They both haven't been there.

[Mook]

Yeah, but I got you.

[T]

I just think the Spurs a little better than them.

[DJ Wills]

I don't know. We all just look better about how for some reason, them motherfuckers just know how to win.

[T]

They definitely do.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[T]

And they guard.

[DJ Wills]

They went out, bro. We like, it's over.

[Bishop]

We all said that.

[Mook]

They start.

[DJ Wills]

JD went for 30, Eric gave.

[T]

They even won when both of them ain't playing.

[Mook]

That's a fact.

[DJ Wills]

So they just kind of got a. It's a different style of basketball than we used to watching, like, you know what I mean? People usually scoring the 130s and all this. They keep it in the 110s.

[T]

Lock up.

[DJ Wills]

They lock up.

[Bishop]

But y' all gotta kind of break down what they can do to beat the spurs, though, with you, Jeff.

[DJ Wills]

They muck up the game, though. So they physical. They a physical team

[T]

out the paint.

[DJ Wills]

J.D. gonna keep him out the paint. Now, Wemby is gonna be Wimby. He gonna have some moments. But we seen WEMBY get 14 before. You know what I mean?

[Bishop]

That's true.

[T]

Just said. What's the name gonna make it hard for Cade Castle?

[Bishop]

Yeah, that nigga got Dear.

[T]

I mean, Cade still gonna get his shit off, but he gonna make it tough on him.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, I mean, he could.

[T]

And it only really take one game. If I lock you one game, that might be the difference.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, but it could be a game. Cade. Shit.

[T]

I mean, Cade could have a moment. He's gonna have. There's no might about it. He's gonna have a moment.

[Mook]

And I know that they lost the Knicks last year, but what Cade was doing in some of them games in

[T]

that first round, he gonna have a moment. Caliber.

[Bishop]

I'm scared of Dear and Fox, bro.

[Mook]

Exactly.

[T]

Yeah. I like dear Thompson should be on

[Mook]

the odds for sure bro. In my opinion for sure I don't know if he'll get that love Duncan Robson green yeah dunk Robson's Christmas having

[DJ Wills]

a good year though he got murder bro.

[Mook]

He came on late though and he

[DJ Wills]

been playing well I told that's what

[Mook]

he pick up for them bro.

[DJ Wills]

Murder is a good player for them.

[T]

Yeah that was a good pickup.

[DJ Wills]

I like I I kind of like that team they go against the Spurs I I ain't mad at the Pistons bro.

[Mook]

I just feel like we're gonna see the best player in the world do some best in the world man. This I'm not saying you can't I know I said Stewart enduring some formal opponents but those are hard though. They do and they gonna fight and

[DJ Wills]

they don't give a. They don't give a damn, bro.

[Mook]

Oh, no.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league anyways.

[Doug]

Only pay for what you [e-mail] Liberty.

[DJ Wills]

Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

[Mook]

It's 5:20 in the morning out the game. How you want out? The gay shout out to the Pistons, man. Hopefully y' all have a good postseason run. For sure. Now, Boston, we all wanted to see what first option JB was like. Boy, we saw it.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, he one of them.

[Mook]

First team on NBA, man. Denver. 30 ball for him getting JT back. Are they still a contender in the East?

[T]

For sure.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[T]

Cannot count them out.

[DJ Wills]

What scared me about them is they. They don't got no bigs.

[T]

True.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. But they got enough guard play enough. You know, they got that championship pedigree. They've been there before.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Our two best players is back playing at high levels.

[T]

Al Horford kind of hurt him. That's crazy because he 47, but it really did.

[Bishop]

There ain't really no bigs. At least that they got to worry about, though.

[T]

Jalen Duran.

[DJ Wills]

I just think they don't match up with.

[Bishop]

Yeah, Jalen Dorn for sure.

[Mook]

They have to match.

[DJ Wills]

This is. The Knicks is the only team that I'm scared of them for. Like. Yeah, the Knicks just match up well with them.

[Mook]

And that team was kind of built to. Kind of.

[T]

It was built for that as well. Yeah, for sure. 100%.

[Mook]

Get a healthy OG.

[DJ Wills]

And that Jalen Brunson matchup is always the one. Even though they probably gonna put JB on him. It'd be that matchup. I'm not saying he can't, but guarding him the whole game and then still getting 28, 30.

[T]

I mean, they could let Derrick White chase him around for a while until he had time to lock in.

[DJ Wills]

It's gonna be.

[T]

I mean, he gonna do that anyway.

[DJ Wills]

He gonna be 30 in cuz he'll do that anyway.

[Mook]

This is one player who always plays really well in the postseason. Derrick White. So that's another option that they have. He'll randomly go off and have 30 in the game as well.

[T]

That's what they need. Drew Holiday, boy.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, Drew Holliday didn't score a lot, but he used to guard Jalen Brunson at the tone. But like we said, the Knicks was beating they ass last year for sure. For.

[T]

That's true. They was. They just match up real well with them.

[Mook]

Yeah, they handled them. Yeah, we'll see, man. But I would not slight them at all. Nah, that's a very, very dangerous thing.

[DJ Wills]

That's one of the best teams.

[T]

I think Cleveland could beat Boston.

[Bishop]

Can they? Yeah.

[Mook]

Let's go to these conversations while we here.

[DJ Wills]

My top team being real is Detroit.

[T]

I'm not sold on Cleveland, bro. Just cause I know it.

[Mook]

You ain't heard.

[T]

I know what comedy is, bro. I love James Harden.

[Bishop]

You're a bad salesman.

[T]

I love James Harden, bro. But we know what happens to him in the playoffs.

[Bishop]

No, you don't, bro.

[Mook]

But he got Don now too, though.

[Bishop]

You always bring up the past. Don't you hate your when your girl bring up the pass. I thought we got past that.

[T]

I really do hate that.

[Bishop]

All right, so we moving on to new and better things, man.

[DJ Wills]

Oh God.

[Mook]

That's a good point. Stop bringing up for this. I can't. I can't tell you what team is clear. Obviously I would love to see Detroit do something. Boston's dangerous. The Knicks, if they play like they supposed to, they dangerous.

[Bishop]

We talk so much shit about the Knicks and they actually be cool.

[DJ Wills]

N. They. They, they.

[T]

They should just.

[Mook]

They be cool, but we just expect them to be.

[T]

We expect them to be the top of the top, though. Like a third. Third seed ain't what we expect for them, man.

[Mook]

Cleveland started off trash and traded their team and ended up one game behind them. That's not what you're supposed to expect. With one of the biggest payrolls in the NBA.

[T]

Y' all got a championship roster. Well, payroll. So we expect championship.

[Mook]

Yeah, the Raptors Would like. Teague was on earlier, but the Raptors. Foster, he ain't mad at it at all. Yo, Hawks, how you feeling against that first round against the Knicks?

[DJ Wills]

Man, I actually like that matchup for us. I think we match up well with the Knicks.

[Mook]

Facts.

[DJ Wills]

Um, I think that's a scary team for them to play. Cause we don't got nothing to lose at all. We having fun. It's just gonna be lit in Atlanta. Shit, we might have Magic City Night.

[Mook]

Y' all lost.

[T]

Y' all lost Trey Young, so we ain't think nothing. Y' all got better after that.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, and they really playing with house money right now. We made the playoffs. We weren't even thinking that way once we let Trey go. You know what I mean?

[T]

Nah, for real.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, but C.J.

[Mook]

been hooping. And you look at how that roster's constructed against the Knicks. Yeah, I know you gotta do it with Brunson and you gotta deal with the Wings. But also they gotta deal with Jalen Johnson. He walk out there, been balling.

[DJ Wills]

This is Domingo, Jerry. Team because they just play free.

[T]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

They ain't got nothing to lose. Like, we still building for the future. We thinking about our pick from New Orleans.

[Mook]

You know what I mean?

[DJ Wills]

We like, damn. We just gonna keep adding pieces. We gonna be better. We probably think we gonna be a contender in two years. Yeah. But to be right down where we at, we gonna be playing free. And that's a scary team to play when you ain't got nothing to lose.

[T]

And when your best player, like Jalen Johnson, he not like Super Ball. Dominant. Make everybody else more confident. We ain't got to get him the

[DJ Wills]

ball every time they lead everything.

[Mook]

Yeah, he does.

[T]

He just out there hooping, bro.

[Mook]

Hey, I know we talk shit about the Hog just for bullshits and giggles, but salute to y'. All. Cause y' all make some plays, boy. Cause y' all got Jalen Johnson on a budget.

[DJ Wills]

On budget, bro.

[Mook]

You got an All Star on a budget. But also, this is his first postseason. We gotta see how he do, too.

[DJ Wills]

I think about six. But I think them not having that pressure.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

To win, it's gonna make a little better.

[T]

Definitely help, bro.

[DJ Wills]

All the pressure on the Knicks.

[T]

You free.

[Bishop]

I really want to see what Kaminga gonna do.

[Mook]

He.

[T]

I need him at about 16.

[Mook]

I want him to go kill 17. He'll get paid.

[T]

All this riff raff, bro.

[Bishop]

I want to see Jonathan Kaminga do his thing, man.

[Mook]

Yeah, man, get paid.

[DJ Wills]

They gonna have some moments. Ain't no pressure. I love this for the Hawks, bro. It ain't no pressure, bro. The Knicks is supposed to be the top seed. They were supposed to have this great year. They paid all this money. We just up and coming team. We got a couple people who haven't break out yet.

[Bishop]

And y' all playing the team. They all they lives depending on this.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, this. It's fragile over there.

[Mook]

If y' all put the Knicks out, oh, Lord, it's gonna be crazy.

[Bishop]

Oh, you right about that.

[DJ Wills]

Fragile over there.

[Mook]

It's house money in Atlanta for sure. Yeah, if y' all win. Magic City. Nice second round, man. Make it happen, man. They up there. The Knicks, bro. Luke Cornette. Make it done. Shout out to LeBron James. LeBron James was not supposed to have to do this much. Workseason, we ain't gonna talk about it much. But y' all see Luca's supposed to be back in the States next couple days, and he's trying to play against Rockets.

[DJ Wills]

It's all good, bro. Yeah, he gonna tear his whole leg off, man.

[Mook]

Does he. Does he deserve to get that, that. That pass on the. On the 65 game rule because he let the NBA points.

[DJ Wills]

Yes.

[T]

Give him.

[Bishop]

I did my job.

[T]

Give him his award.

[Bishop]

I did my job.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Stop bullshit. I did my job.

[Mook]

Most points score. And he played 20 less games than people.

[T]

Yeah, bro. Let me get my bro.

[Mook]

18 less games. You and I lead the league and score, bro. Tap in.

[DJ Wills]

Did he had a grade two hamstring? Ah, he not playing.

[Bishop]

Yeah, bro.

[T]

Yeah, he won't be able to run full speed, bro.

[Mook]

And you know what is associated with. Unfortunately, we don't want that to happen.

[T]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Hopefully Luka's best advisors are his best advisors.

[DJ Wills]

I remember James Harden playing with a torn hamstring.

[Bishop]

Damn.

[DJ Wills]

Brooklyn, man.

[Mook]

Did you see when OG Anunoby checked in against the Patriots two years ago to get that three, bro? He looked like a zombie out there, bro.

[T]

James Harden couldn't push off.

[DJ Wills]

Nah, he couldn't do nothing.

[T]

Couldn't push off.

[Mook]

Yeah, man.

[DJ Wills]

One thing is one game, he Damn near had 16. I was like. I said, he got. Yeah, yeah.

[Mook]

That game seven. And honestly, we say that what if. But if he was healthy, because the way he was playing beforehand, they might have snuck OKC backs.

[Bishop]

They might have.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[T]

He was hooping.

[DJ Wills]

Luka already don't play defense. So imagine him with a hamstring.

[T]

He not gonna try.

[DJ Wills]

Oh, my God.

[Mook]

Lay upset. He. Man, look what y' all want me to do.

[Bishop]

Yeah. Rely on Brownie, man. Rely on Brownie.

[T]

Oh, shit.

[Mook]

Bless LeBron James, man. You shouldn't be dealing with this at 43 years old, man.

[Bishop]

I don't think that nigga cares, bro.

[T]

No, no, he don't care.

[Bishop]

A couple games out of this, y' all got him up, bro.

[DJ Wills]

Ron going golfing.

[Bishop]

I don't got. My God, bro.

[Mook]

I can't wait for the season to be over. Yeah, yeah, bro. I've done anything y' all could ever ask me to do. Oh, God. A couple more times. We get to the super chat, man. The Hornets and the Clippers finish strong for slow starts. Be here. Do we believe in the Hornets postseason, baby.

[Bishop]

You know I do.

[Mook]

They already.

[Bishop]

Guys, man. I'm rolling with the youngsters, man.

[Mook]

Yes.

[Bishop]

Clippers listening to mooc hate on them all year. This. It brings me joy that they playoff talk.

[T]

So this season, y'.

[Bishop]

All.

[T]

Tom is up, though.

[Mook]

No, it's not, bro.

[T]

They ain't playing time is up.

[Mook]

Their season is. We will support the Hornets on this show.

[Bishop]

We got the best shooters in the league, y'.

[DJ Wills]

All Do.

[Mook]

I want San Antonio to beat the Suns just so Kawhi can play the spurs first round? That's all I want to see. I go have two stupid games, violate them, and move on. But disappointed. Who's more disappointed? Philly? Orlando.

[T]

Orlando.

[DJ Wills]

Orlando.

[T]

We knew Philly was hurt.

[DJ Wills]

We've been going forward.

[Bishop]

Philly been hurt, bro.

[DJ Wills]

We've been knowing Philly always disappointed.

[T]

Yeah, we've been disappointed three, four years.

[Mook]

That's a fact.

[DJ Wills]

Now Philly's been disappointed.

[Bishop]

It's tough, though, to say they disappoint when they be unhealthy, though, bro.

[Mook]

But at some point, you just tell

[T]

me what's the basic ability.

[Bishop]

Yeah, it is availability. Absolutely. But don't you.

[T]

Not available, you.

[Bishop]

But give me some grace if I'm always hurt, though, bro. Be healthy for the most part. No, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, Orlando. Orlando be hurt, too.

[Bishop]

They do, but it don't be as bad, bro. Joel Embiid, Tyrese, Maxi be out.

[T]

They be losing their best player every time.

[Bishop]

At least we got one or the other. But I feel y', all, though.

[DJ Wills]

I mean, I feel like we don't

[T]

expect nothing from them.

[Mook]

I.

[DJ Wills]

Damn, I feel like if you go to Philly, you gonna get hurt.

[T]

Damn.

[Bishop]

I'm saying, like, I swear to God, that's not gonna work, yo.

[DJ Wills]

Yes, but y' all, they best players.

[Mook]

All they best players go on buses, go down.

[DJ Wills]

Like, every time somebody go to Philly,

[Mook]

like, shit, just get wicked.

[DJ Wills]

It just, like, gets bad.

[Bishop]

That is true. That's true.

[Mook]

Yeah. Orlando trading four picks for D. Bane and being a play in is crazy. The reports of Coach Mosley and P5 not get along. I don't know what they gotta do, but it's time for a change this summer. Time for a change. You can't go back next year with the same roster you got.

[T]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

You can't have that locker room friction. You gotta get rid of P5. You might have to get rid of him if you ain't gonna get rid of the coach.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. You know what I think? I think Jimmy put the curse on Philly. When they ain't. When.

[Mook]

When I ain't pay.

[DJ Wills]

They ain't pay him until you do

[Mook]

right by me and give us some successes. Man, hell, beer for Tyrese Max. Even though he got hurt. Breakout.

[DJ Wills]

He had it in Minnesota. I had to tell him, take it off. I was like, damn, take that off. I done got hurt. You done hurt my foot. Take that off, man. Go ahead. Lifting when Ant came. Okay, and then I told him. I was like, yeah, we gonna take the curse off.

[Bishop]

Billy did do Jimmy dirty.

[T]

They did.

[Bishop]

They did Jimmy dirty.

[Mook]

You right. Hey, the Bucs fans. Hey, tell Teague to chill out. We are going through enough this season.

[DJ Wills]

I told y' all cooked. I need assistant GM road. I'm gonna lift the curse.

[Mook]

Did you see what Sean said?

[T]

Make it right.

[Mook]

Sean said, hey, man, if I pay more attention, I was going to airlock. Then when I'm reporting, make what sucks so bad? I'm paraphrasing, but damn. Basically because Doc Rivers told y' all to cut him. Well, go ahead, play.

[DJ Wills]

Man.

[Mook]

Got this off. See, I called me a liar and I told you, Yanis.

[Greg Rosenthal]

We were last year. As far as Giannis, as far as last summer, where the Bucks will get a bunch of calls, they're going to get a bunch of offers. They already went through negotiations for Giannis in February. As far as trade talks, they're probably going to revisit a lot of those same conversations with teams like Minnesota and Golden State and Miami and the Knicks. We'll see how the playoffs shake out. That's going to have a big part in all this. But listen, the reality of everything in Milwaukee is this. If they spent as much time dealing with their own internal dynamics and problems as they do, responding to accurate reports, they wouldn't be in the mess that

[DJ Wills]

they're in right now,

[Greg Rosenthal]

doing the job at the highest of levels that I possibly can.

[T]

Damn, I miss Woj.

[Mook]

Yeah, man, Doc Rivers crazy. I miss woes. That was, hey. That was, hey, you said he got mad because he said he told y' all it's a trade. In the celebrity game. Doc told y' all to trade me the celebrity game. Hey, go take that down. Sorry. Milwaukee T said no, man. Get well soon, Trey. Honest, we don't care. The Warriors. Yeah, we call this. Ever since I seen that brown jersey, I'm done. I don't see them every year.

[DJ Wills]

You did?

[Mook]

Yeah. Free stuff, man. Pretty guys.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. When they traded for cp, we all kind of. Yeah.

[Mook]

And before we out of here, the Rockets, we wanted to see what they look like with kd. Obviously. Big Trey last off season, them not having a point guard. And for Van Fleet, obviously, we knew it was gonna be an issue. But now in the postseason, R.E. shepherd's develop a little bit, but still a little bit of inconsistency. But they hot last what, seven games

[DJ Wills]

record they had last year?

[Bishop]

They can. They can make some noise. They had the talent too, so you just never know.

[Mook]

Do we really judge them if they get past the Lakers? Because respectfully is kind of like a gimme in a this, this, this time around.

[Bishop]

True, but shit, you gotta get past them though.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. The Lakers make this a series, I'll be disappointed in the Rock.

[T]

Sure.

[Bishop]

I don't know. It's good.

[T]

It should be a sweep.

[DJ Wills]

It should be a sweep.

[Bishop]

KD got blessed with this matchup.

[Mook]

Did you see they put the old picture of Hulk Hogan and it was like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair together. Katie versus Braun this postseason. But then. Oh, heads. Going down the one last time, man. Yeah. Yeah. Me and Thompson. A lot of people have him as Mip. Decent season. Can't complain that 18 and 19.

[Bishop]

Oh, that's fine.

[DJ Wills]

Hooping. I got. I got Nikhil Alexander Walker for that award. But he definitely had a good year too, though.

[Mook]

Yeah. 52 game win season for the Rockets, man. We'll see what they do in the post season. All right, man. Let's get a super chat this morning. Mook Shiesy. Is it true you broke into a zip headquarters to make them throw out all the product? Mike. Hey, he already passed me that Frank, yo. That's crazy.

[DJ Wills]

Damn, they called Mike 30. Hey, pat me that Frank ymdo

[Bishop]

my 30.

[Mook]

Get that out of my face,

[Bishop]

stupid.

[Mook]

What's the feeling right now? Well, if you gotta pop out to one of my pro boxes fighting future sh. I need to do to keep it simple. Shout out to Big play.

[DJ Wills]

He said he got a he box.

[Mook]

[DJ Wills]

Okay, okay.

[Mook]

Make sure you good man. You know we shout out boxing on this podcast. It works. Our bad. Don't be laying down now.

[DJ Wills]

Put you on that canvas, boy. Since you on them pockets.

[Mook]

Yeah. Hopefully verified buckets not get well soon, brother. I wish Ro had a better off run team Jersey with no draws or mook with the tortoise.

[Bishop]

Tortoise Mooc is getting started.

[T]

So I would say Jeff was legendary.

[DJ Wills]

That's crazy. Appreciate it.

[Bishop]

Appreciate it.

[DJ Wills]

You see the film?

[Mook]

Yep. The most important tangible is high energy or attitude. If it was legendary, you see my game film was crazy.

[DJ Wills]

I see Superhead.

[Bishop]

I'm boy going crazy. I wonder what she doing these days.

[DJ Wills]

What is she doing? Oh, no. She might write. She. She might say.

[Bishop]

She might write me.

[DJ Wills]

That's crazy.

[Mook]

What's the most young player coachability, high energy or attitude?

[Bishop]

My bad game.

[DJ Wills]

See. Right.

[Bishop]

I ain't had a blue chick long enough. People.

[DJ Wills]

Move on.

[Mook]

Keep tr. Next question. Coachability. Troll for me, Lou. Yep. Big shout out to the walker for winning MIP Award after living up to the BBWS in 2026. Damn.

[Bishop]

[Bishop]

522-405-2240. Respect, man. Shout out to my book.

[Mook]

Man.

[DJ Wills]

Shout out to mook.

[Mook]

I seen NFL players say Barber tried to charge him 300 for a house call. Him get it in blood and they agreed to 150. Have a barber tried to overcharge y' all since y' all been in yalls position.

[DJ Wills]

300 is tough, boy.

[T]

You just saying anything.

[DJ Wills]

300.

[Bishop]

What's the most for a haircut though?

[T]

I paid 100.

[Mook]

Yeah, I paid 100.

[DJ Wills]

Gave us 100 after the house call.

[Bishop]

That's fair, bro.

[Mook]

The designs and why for Cat makes sense. My pals Cook had the bucks fresh rounder next draft. And if you honestly up Lucas Garvey ever tapped into the SSBBW community. Best pot out Zion for Cat is a wild trade.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, I don't think I want Zion for Cat. Nah, something on that.

[Mook]

No, no.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, that's a bad trade.

[Mook]

If the Knicks is gonna make a decision to be. Yeah, you gotta get youngest and it's right there.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, if DJ was a real dj.

[Mook]

First time he spent is gonna be by Saucy Santana. Shout out Angelo Russell.

[T]

Damn.

[DJ Wills]

Damn. Why you saying you gonna play? Sauce, ain't it?

[Mook]

Yeah, I don't know about that, brother, but that's your algorithms. Not my forte, gang. Hey, hey.

[Bishop]

Oh, yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Y' all missed them layups this year.

[Bishop]

Oh, we got. I got a 800% increase.

[Mook]

Shout out to the W draft last night.

[DJ Wills]

First time y for them fast break layups. Yeah, it's going to be crucified on this one.

[Bishop]

I'm excited for the WBA season.

[DJ Wills]

Matter of fact, Mr. L. Because they

[Bishop]

would pay E wheezy, she's up two hills. You better not miss near layer.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mook]

I was gonna say that's one thing. They gonna incorporate this here in the W2. Hey, we paying out. Y' all want it. Y' all better before.

[Bishop]

No, I think they are though.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah, no, they hoopers though.

[DJ Wills]

But for sure now they get criticized how we criticize everybody else.

[Mook]

Yeah, man. Shout out to ladies getting that chicken. Morning, fellas. Love from Kansas city. Shout out Mooc Chamberlain. We got the 100 barbecue spots and 100 BBW thoughts. Pull up on this behead. What's your go to three meat platter?

[DJ Wills]

Paws.

[T]

Damn.

[DJ Wills]

Damn.

[Bishop]

Three. Three meat platter.

[DJ Wills]

No, no, no.

[Bishop]

This is. That's a cause we know something. So I'm go. I'm gonna go brisket. I'm gonna go brisket. Burnt in brisket, burnt in rib and about three wings. That's my go to three mix sampler with tater salad, macaroni and green beans with onions and bacon bits inside of it.

[Mook]

Kansas City tap in.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

You been to Kansas City?

[Bishop]

For sure.

[DJ Wills]

They got good food.

[Bishop]

I actually went with Lou on the au trip.

[DJ Wills]

Oh, they got fire food. I knew it.

[Bishop]

Yep.

[DJ Wills]

Last time I went to Kansas City when I was like 5 and I got the chicken pup.

[Mook]

It's 5:20 in the morning out the gate. How you what?

[DJ Wills]

What he sample meat. That's a good. That's a great. That's a great.

[Mook]

That's right.

[Bishop]

Brisket, rib chicken. You just got a random wood in your mouth saying it's making your teeth whiter. And the only time I put my wood in a woman mouth, I know her teeth gonna get whiter when I shoot that crazy glue on her. You know what I'm saying? It's so clear. Respect, gang. I ain't gonna throw me, y'.

[DJ Wills]

All.

[Bishop]

Rico and I be trying to take up for this. I always be trying to take up for that, man.

[Mook]

Damn, man, get. See the poster that she point.

[Bishop]

All right,

[DJ Wills]

Mike, your new name is 30.

[Mook]

I'll call you 30.

[DJ Wills]

Hey, yo, 30.

[Bishop]

Say Cheese said make your teeth white a lot.

[DJ Wills]

He's stupid.

[Mook]

My bad. We gotta get the Two Face Monster after that segment fully clean.

[Bishop]

He was doing so good, y'. All. Y' all blew it.

[Mook]

Yeah, I think Lucas lack of defense and hustle would deter some free agents from side with la. Or does the LA atmosphere overshadow all that?

[Bishop]

Man, I think people want to go play with Lucas.

[DJ Wills]

I don't know, man.

[Bishop]

I think people want to play with Luka. Good role players. I don't know about other stars.

[Mook]

Hey, man, you got a lot of role players paid, though.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, it depends to go to la. If you got, like, star potential to, like, do stuff like commercials and stuff outside of basketball, I can see why you want to be in la. But if you just, like. This is no shade to, like, Gabe Vincent. I'm pretty sure he way happier in Atlanta than LA.

[Mook]

Yeah, he just did a pod talking about the Sigma system to come playing with LeBron and kind of dispel some of them. But.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, but I'm saying, like, even, like, the income tax, like, getting taxed, all that money in LA and all that stuff, like the cost of living out there, high as hell. Like, if you. You probably rather play in.

[Bishop]

That's. I agree.

[DJ Wills]

All that stuff, I would.

[Bishop]

Luke could probably need a bunch of role players around him, though. Austin Reeves, is he a star? I'm not saying that, but I don't know if Luka could play with somebody like Ant.

[DJ Wills]

Like another superstar.

[Bishop]

Superstar definitely play LeBron. He on his last leg on the tail end.

[Mook]

You think Kyrie worked, but I mean, it was different type of player because Kyrie was.

[T]

Kyrie can play with anybody.

[Bishop]

Will Luka work with Bron? Like, how Kyrie works with Bron, is what I'm saying?

[T]

No, he can't, bro. And Ron really need to rock, too. Especially young Bronx. He need that ball, too.

[DJ Wills]

Boy, it don't take Kyrie nothing to get to.

[T]

Yeah, he can catch and shoot. He can play. He can do whatever he gotta do.

[DJ Wills]

Kyrie.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

He one of the more special players that we ever seen.

[T]

For sure.

[DJ Wills]

Thanks.

[Bishop]

For sure.

[Mook]

Every lucky we ain't see both of them in their prime. If we just seen Miami, Bryant with Luka now. Yeah, Lee would be cooked for sure. What's your take on Corn Carr? Also can be success. LeBron's 2018 MVP snub. He played all 82 games and dominated the same year as the 51 point finals game.

[Bishop]

Yeah, man, all my football dogs been mad at me about this, and I ain't even say nothing.

[T]

It.

[Bishop]

So I guess NFL team's been reaching

[DJ Wills]

out to him, Rock.

[Bishop]

Trying to offer him, like, a job. Yeah, I'm like, why y' all writing me? We ain't even say nothing about it.

[DJ Wills]

Crazy.

[Mook]

Stupid.

[DJ Wills]

That's crazy.

[Bishop]

But that's.

[DJ Wills]

I ain't got nothing to say.

[Bishop]

Been reaching out, though. He got a chance to play in the pros for real. He got real offers, too.

[DJ Wills]

He ain't. He played football before.

[Bishop]

I doubt it. He's just saying I'm grateful for the opportunity.

[T]

He's a supreme athlete. Supreme athlete.

[Mook]

Fighting against them.

[DJ Wills]

Oh, my God, Ducks. He was doing against them regular people, bro.

[Mook]

Very disrespectful.

[DJ Wills]

But that's. I'm. Never mind. I ain't gonna do that.

[Mook]

But I mean, typically, that's what it looks like when you have a personal D1 roster. Go play against people next door at the gym.

[DJ Wills]

I'm just talking about how, like, they could look at him and say, yeah, you would be good for football for sure. Even though I think he can make it to the NBA, he get jump shot.

[T]

I think anybody will look at him and say, you could probably be good at football, though. He's a supreme. He fast as hell.

[DJ Wills]

I don't think damn near any college athlete.

[T]

But he tall like, bro. He'll be a silly receiver, bro.

[Bishop]

Or tight end. I think tight end is calling.

[Mook]

Yeah, we'll see. Man. Shaquille Court, who was your most unexpected player that gave you the work? I seen your cousin, Francisco Garcia, Aaron brooks, both dropped 20 plus on you in one game in 2013. You had four, but respect. Damn.

[Bishop]

2013, Francisco Garcia, March Madness legend, bro.

[Mook]

Legend.

[DJ Wills]

Why would I ever be guarding Francisco Garcia?

[Bishop]

That's so rare, though.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's random.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, you switched eight.

[Bishop]

That's random.

[DJ Wills]

All right. Aaron Brooks might have had 20. He just said it.

[T]

Cause his name.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

I was like, what?

[Bishop]

That's crazy.

[Mook]

Shout out here with Taquan Dean. Louisville Legends. Why doesn't talented deaf athletes that want to win mean more than experienced? Spurs are in the locker room saying, is there time they think they can truly win it all? Dj, make it jump like a hurdle. That's the word I can't say on here.

[T]

That's crazy. But they supposed to think they can win it all. What else they gonna think?

[DJ Wills]

When you on a team, you start every game saying you gonna win it all.

[T]

What you supposed to say? We about to lo.

[DJ Wills]

The Sacramento Kings thought they was about to win a championship this year.

[Bishop]

Probably that's true. Cause you're athletes. That's what y' all supposed to say. But I swear to God, I really think the spurs believe.

[T]

But they should.

[Bishop]

Cause how they've been getting on OKC ass this year, I think they feel like they got a shot.

[DJ Wills]

I swear to God. When I played for the Minnesota Timberwolves,

[Mook]

I was like, man, we about to

[T]

win this game one.

[DJ Wills]

Game one.

[T]

You gonna think.

[Bishop]

I had a hell of a team, though, bro.

[DJ Wills]

We was cold.

[Bishop]

I ain't like. I ain't just saying it. Cause you right here, bro. Y' all was. I remember I text you, I'm like, oh, this might be.

[Mook]

I ain't gonna lie.

[DJ Wills]

I really thought we could win. I ain't gonna lie. I thought we could win.

[Bishop]

Y' all thing was fire, bro.

[DJ Wills]

Before Jimmy got her, I thought we could win. I was like, bro, we around win this.

[Mook]

Y' all was cooking, too.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. 3C, 3 to the AC.

[Mook]

Jimmy got hurt from 3 to 8,

[Bishop]

but I feel like Jimmy had y' all believe in that.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

I had a squad when y' all was rocking.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. For sure.

[Mook]

Jimmy Weird cat.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[T]

Championship is crazy.

[Bishop]

I'm not gonna say they was gonna win. I'm not saying like that. But I'm saying they.

[Mook]

I ain't gonna lie.

[DJ Wills]

I thought we was gonna.

[T]

I was thinking I was gonna have to beat.

[Bishop]

That's why I was insane.

[T]

Yeah, that was tough.

[DJ Wills]

I was like, we go beast. Dude. We just didn't. We. We had a lot of turmoil.

[Mook]

Yeah. Say the least.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. A lot of turmoil.

[T]

I was cold, though, for sure.

[Mook]

Why don't think the east is consistently weaker than the west every season. Too many small markets in the east or what.

[DJ Wills]

It ain't even weaker, though. The west was kind of. It was kind of shaky this year, to be honest.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[Mook]

The east best players, some people will say, was hurt.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Like the rest.

[DJ Wills]

The San Antonio A Small market. Okc. A small market.

[Bishop]

Like a.

[T]

For sure.

[DJ Wills]

There's teams in that conference.

[Bishop]

What do they consider Minnesota Small too.

[DJ Wills]

Small market.

[Mook]

Definitely small market.

[Bishop]

Yeah. Big market.

[T]

Houston wasn't what they supposed to be.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

I mean, Houston got.

[Bishop]

They not a small market.

[DJ Wills]

They not a small market. China. Yeah. I mean, made that a.

[Mook]

That's fair.

[DJ Wills]

Denver.

[Mook]

Denver.

[T]

Small market.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

La. A big market team. Clippers, Golden State. They all bad. Yeah.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

They all trash.

[Bishop]

Yeah, for sure.

[DJ Wills]

It's really all small market teams in

[T]

the west that's running shit.

[DJ Wills]

Running shit.

[T]

He's got Boston, New York.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Detroit considered a small market.

[T]

That's what I'm confused. I'm kind of confused on them. I ain't gonna lie.

[Bishop]

I ain't say. I don't know.

[Mook]

I would say Detroit in Chicago, but I would never call Chicago.

[DJ Wills]

Chicago is definitely Michael Jordan. Made him a big market.

[T]

I'm confused on Detroit.

[Mook]

I ain't gonna lie.

[DJ Wills]

It's a big city. Detroit, that's like an in between. Cause they got all the major sports.

[Mook]

Yeah. I wouldn't necessarily call it Detroit. Small market.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[Mook]

But like you said, fair point. Just get it done, man. Dr. Moctavious was shot all time. 2k player. I was doing a 2k draft. Who's a guy you gotta have on the squad?

[T]

Jeff, the 2K guy.

[DJ Wills]

Ah, shit. I only play with my. My player. When I used to play the video game. J.R. smith was fired like he used to play. Yeah.

[Mook]

J.R. smith, Rudy gay, Wilson, Chandler T. Mac was cheap on 2k for sure.

[DJ Wills]

Oh, he had everything.

[Mook]

Yeah, he was God.

[DJ Wills]

He played live. He had him and Vince Carter. They was cheating for sure.

[Mook]

Garbage cut. 2016 Steph Curry. 2006 Kobe. 2012 Braun.

[T]

Ooh, Thor always.

[Mook]

I'mma starring Steph United, Ms. P. Steph.

[T]

I'm a bench Kobe. I'm cutting Steph, bro.

[DJ Wills]

Damn. Shit. Fuck that.

[T]

I ain't cut Kobe, bro. I ain't cutting Brian for sure.

[Bishop]

Yeah, Brian gotta be number one, bro.

[DJ Wills]

He has to unanimous MVP year for Steph.

[T]

I don't give a.

[Mook]

Give me.

[Bishop]

Brian gotta be number one, bro.

[DJ Wills]

I think they just going with the best year, bro. I don't think they're saying who the best.

[T]

That was good year for Brian. Every year for Brian, bro.

[Mook]

Was killing, but he was killing.

[T]

Close your eyes and pick a year for Braun.

[Mook]

2012 was Miami Brown, right? Yeah. Say less.

[DJ Wills]

Do you think that's better than Steph? Year? Year?

[T]

Yes.

[DJ Wills]

In 2016.

[T]

I'm. I'm starting Brown, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Steph was going Crazy that year.

[Bishop]

Who you couldn't.

[DJ Wills]

I don't give a.

[Bishop]

What.

[Mook]

Because you know what that clip gonna be

[DJ Wills]

cut. Respect you. Damn. They gotta cut LeBron just to be safe, you know, for real.

[Mook]

Well, when Black Tricks already pulled up, they'll come back, so you can't come take a step, bro.

[DJ Wills]

That year was crazy.

[Mook]

Richard, omit it. Shout out to y' all boys, for real. My first time celebrating my birthday, but all my pops need these laughs. Let's start the day. Happy birthday.

[DJ Wills]

Happy birthday to you.

[Mook]

Mook, you talk about how y' all weren't worried about that Kansas team, but every time you go to Tyson Taylor, he fried you. And y' all put MK MKG on him.

[DJ Wills]

He had to switch.

[T]

I don't remember it going that way, but that's cool.

[DJ Wills]

Who won?

[T]

We could. We could. We could look those up. I don't know.

[Mook]

We win the game, though.

[T]

We. Oh, we always won. Cause I guarded Elijah Johnson most of the time.

[Bishop]

Tayshausanta was nice.

[Mook]

Yeah, he's hoop for sure.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. I think I played him in the league.

[Mook]

I think he went to nets, right?

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, I think I played.

[Bishop]

Is he playing the big three now?

[T]

Nah, I got traded for him and the NBA, too.

[Mook]

That's funny.

[T]

He's like, I hate you, bro. You keep fucking my life up.

[Mook]

[DJ Wills]

He from New York, though. He.

[T]

[DJ Wills]

Jersey? Yeah.

[Mook]

No.

[Bishop]

Thomas Robinson, bro. Look like a damn security guard.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, Thomas Robinson was.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Yeah, bro. Where he end up playing in the league?

[Mook]

Went to the Kings, right?

[DJ Wills]

See, he can't go to Sacramento.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Damn.

[DJ Wills]

Anybody that got drafted, besides Isaiah Thomas and DeMarcus Cousins, they kind of had a struggle in Sacramento. De' Aaron Fox made it happen.

[Mook]

He overcame a lot, though.

[DJ Wills]

He came a lot in Sacramento.

[Bishop]

Ain't that where Tyrese got drafted, Tyreek?

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, Tyrese had to get him out.

[Mook]

Yeah. Give us Tyreek Evans. Yeah,

[DJ Wills]

they done had some great picks.

[Bishop]

That is the craziest drop off, I think.

[DJ Wills]

What? Tyreek Evans, he got hurt in New Orleans.

[Bishop]

He did. But I'm just. He had a good run, too.

[DJ Wills]

Too.

[Bishop]

But I'm saying his.

[Mook]

After his first year, that Pacer stint is where it got with him.

[Bishop]

No, but I'm saying after his first year, I thought 25. I'm like, this nigga about to run the league.

[DJ Wills]

I told y', all, he had the best draft workout ever seen. Besides Sam Young, bro.

[Mook]

Sam Young, Patriot legend.

[DJ Wills]

Oh, my God. That nigga Tyreek was doing us so bad. I wasn't playing. I got hurt. I'm just watching. Yeah, no, I played this one. He was doing us bad. Everybody like, I got him. You know I got him. He was on my team. He scored every single time. Damn. Everybody left the workout. They like, yeah, he going to Minnesota at 3 or 5. And they was like, nah, he just did the same in Sacramento. Wow. Damn. Yeah, that. I picked stuff, cuz.

[Bishop]

Facts. He had a hell of a first year, too. Worth it.

[Mook]

Shout out to my guy.

[DJ Wills]

He won rookie year, right?

[Mook]

Yeah. 25 and 5, I believe.

[Bishop]

For sure. That was a stash, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, he hooped out for sure.

[DJ Wills]

Damn.

[Mook]

It was soon, man.

[DJ Wills]

Three wreak havoc. That n was cold.

[Mook]

All right, man. Players of the week, man. In the East Last time for the year, you got Brandon Ingram holding it down and LeBron for the how many? I think it's the 70th time he was player of the week. Something crazy like that. Yeah, man. BI Shout out bi. Man, Shout out bi Sneak season for bi.

[DJ Wills]

Man, I ain't gonna lie, man. They got potential too, bro. They can compete with the Cavs, I think. I ain't gonna lie. Donovan Mitchell scared me. Cause what he could do in the playoffs. And I don't think they got nobody that can match him, but shit. They ain't got nothing to lose to, though.

[Bishop]

Nah, they don't.

[Mook]

They didn't expect to be.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, they ain't.

[Bishop]

They ain't supposed to be right here.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, they ain't got nothing to lose.

[Mook]

I think this is a season yard somebody. Evan Mobley and Jared Allen, they gotta enforce their wellness team.

[Bishop]

They have to.

[Mook]

Yeah, they got Poto and cmb, but.

[DJ Wills]

But quietly, this is a pressure year for the Cavs.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah. They have to get out the first round. They have got.

[DJ Wills]

Y' all went and got James Harden, the legend for sure. Sure.

[T]

They kind of like New York, huh?

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[T]

They saying they've been number one for a few years now.

[Bishop]

This is the second year, bro. After two years, the pressure is not the same.

[T]

I'm just saying they. They got Harden, they got Mitchell, they got Mo, they got Allen. So they expect to win.

[DJ Wills]

But you made a trade.

[T]

You went expecting Darius Garland five years.

[DJ Wills]

You gave up Darius Garland on guard. Cause you wanted to win, right?

[T]

Now we got you for now.

[DJ Wills]

You got James Harden. Cause you wanted to win now. Now, like.

[Bishop]

No, I agree with that. But to say is. Is

[T]

pressure one of them teams, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, they got a talented roster. But be here if they lose first round. You know who pulling up Anyway, this ain't the day.

[Bishop]

Oh yeah, don't worry. Brian is on the way.

[DJ Wills]

Throw us some Win.

[Mook]

Win for the Cavs.

[T]

I hate to.

[Bishop]

I hate to break him and Bronnie up, but it's time now.

[Mook]

Bronnie will be a Cleveland Cavalier.

[DJ Wills]

Are you crazy?

[Bishop]

Nowhere without Bronnie is keeping James.

[DJ Wills]

James Gaines.

[Mook]

The name through your jersey is in Cleveland. Put it on the wall.

[DJ Wills]

They are. They will all be living back in Akron.

[Bishop]

Respect, man.

[Mook]

Yeah, we will see, man. All right, man, let's move on to the stat leader so far this NBA season, man. Luca 33 and a half, SGA 31 and a half. AE at 28.8, JB at 28.7 and Tyrese Maxey at 28.3. I wish Tyrese Maxi didn't get hurt. Cause he definitely would have been higher. Hell of a season for all n rebounds, joker. Reluctantly, man. 13 rebounds a game. Cap right there at 12. Donvan Klingman, breakout season at 11.6. And Wimy and Gobert in the year at 11.5. Now assist. Joker again. Fresh player. Assist and rebounds going crazy. Lead those stats, man.

[DJ Wills]

That's crazy.

[Mook]

Yeah. Reluctant 10 points up for him. K Cunningham right there at 9.9, Luka 8.3, James Harden at 8.0, Jalen Johnson at 7.9 steals and Cyril Thompson with two. Dyson Daniels with two as well. Kayson, Wallace, Kawhi and Tyrese maxey all had 1.9 locks. Wimby 3.1 the game, 1.9, J. Huff in 1.9, Moby 1.7 and Clement at 1.7. Yeah, Wemby having nine boxing one game is crazy.

[Bishop]

I did not know he averaged three for the year.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, that's insane.

[Mook]

And that's because so many people even scared to shoot because it probably would be five.

[Bishop]

Oh my God.

[Mook]

Yeah, it's scary, man. Double doubles. Joker obviously 56, Cat 55, Jalen Johnson 49, Wimy 42 and Jalen Durham with 41.

[DJ Wills]

Triple double.

[Mook]

Joker 34, Jayla Johnson 13, Josh Giddy with 13, Luca with eight and Westbrook with six.

[Bishop]

This is 21 ahead of the next.

[Mook]

He's already that high on the all time list, bro. When it's all said and done. Yeah, man.

[Bishop]

Damn, bro.

[Mook]

All right, man. Regular season awards. Let's talk about MVP unanimous sga. Light work.

[DJ Wills]

Shay Gilders Alexander, SGA with the repeat.

[Mook]

Okay, yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Coach of the year, JB Bickerstaff.

[Mook]

Mm, I like that.

[Bishop]

I ain't mad at that one either.

[Mook]

J.B. bickerstaff.

[Bishop]

I'm cool with that.

[Mook]

A lot of people said Joe Mozilla deserves some love as well.

[DJ Wills]

And the young boy from San Antonio,

[Mook]

Coach Mitch, my guy. Yeah. Turn that around quick as hell too.

[DJ Wills]

I'm cool with any of those three.

[Mook]

Okay, sure.

[DJ Wills]

Not gonna get some love. But those three did phenomenal. And Joe Missoula did a great job too.

[Mook]

Yeah. 1000% rookie of the year.

[DJ Wills]

Con canople for me.

[T]

Mm.

[Bishop]

Dylan Harper for me.

[T]

Cooper flag, bro.

[Mook]

I think they gotta go. Cole.

[DJ Wills]

Bro.

[Mook]

They gotta go.

[T]

At least Cole.

[Bishop]

They do, bro. They have to.

[Mook]

Cause Cooper went crazy. But con canopy happened. One of the most efficient NBA season. Leading the league in threes as rookie bro. And pretty much the third option on a better team. So that's a fact.

[T]

They both should win it.

[Mook]

Yeah, I'm cool with Cole. Six minute of the year I got. I'm.

[DJ Wills]

I'mma go with Kelton Johnson.

[Mook]

I'm not mad at Kelton Johnson.

[DJ Wills]

N Alexander walk started starting too many games.

[Mook]

Yeah, well, he definitely would have had that song had that. All right, squad.

[T]

He don't play killed her.

[DJ Wills]

I say killed him.

[Mook]

I ain't mad at that. Dpoy. We know where has to be wimby. Has to be Wimby. If not that's. That's criminal facts. Mip.

[DJ Wills]

Some people got Jalen Johnson, but I got Nikki.

[Mook]

People got Jalen Johnson. Some people got like you said, man. Thompson.

[Bishop]

Jalen.

[T]

He was.

[Mook]

Jalen Duran has been high on that list as well.

[Bishop]

Jalen. If Jalen Durant on that list, he gotta get it.

[T]

Jalen Dern.

[Bishop]

Yes.

[DJ Wills]

Wasn't the kill average last year like eight?

[Mook]

Yeah, it was 20.

[T]

Now

[DJ Wills]

come on, man. We gotta win some shit.

[Bishop]

I ain't mad at.

[Mook]

Hey, man, get what you get.

[Bishop]

Jaylen Durant is an option. Dang.

[DJ Wills]

It is an option. He had a great year.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

He's gonna get a max contract. He gonna be all NBA.

[Bishop]

That's tough.

[Mook]

All right, man. And then let's go to some of these potential all NBA teams. But we'll just go just off of what's reported right here, man. I don't put them in teams, but that's all. Defensive team, Wimby, Chet, Bam, Derek White, Rudy Gobert. Second team, Scotty Barnes, Min Thompson, Asura Thompson, OG and another.

[Bishop]

What in the fuck? I'm sorry, dj.

[Mook]

You know who's first team, bro?

[Bishop]

How does he keep getting it?

[Mook]

Well, he's top five rebounds, bro. My defensive rate says it's crazy. That's what I do. That's why he paid me 200 mil.

[Bishop]

That's crazy. I don't be hating on niggas, bro. But that's.

[Mook]

I don't like a man Thompson or assault being on. Yeah. Wouldn't have to be me. Even the sewer one of them have to be first team, bro. In my opinion, even though Chet and

[DJ Wills]

Victor wanted to be blocked, I think I came. I'm surprised Stephon Castle didn't get no.

[Mook]

I agree. He should at least get some respect as well. Kayson Wallace definitely deserved to be there. Scotty Barnes did a great job playing defense all year long. I ain't mad at that OG Anunoby respect.

[Bishop]

But I. I'll give OG sweet.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's kind of wild. Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

I don't know. No disrespect to Bam, but I don't

[Bishop]

OG Always be guarding the best player.

[Mook]

All right, all NBA. Let's just start with the first team and see if y' all rolling. Sga Joker win be Kawhi. Donovan Mitchell.

[Bishop]

That's fair to me.

[Mook]

Jalen Brown gotta be first team over Don. I love Don. That's my bias.

[T]

But that's a fact.

[Mook]

It's gotta be Jalen Brown.

[DJ Wills]

I think him over Kawhi.

[Mook]

N. Kawhi got be me, too.

[Bishop]

Joe.

[Mook]

If it came down to it, I ain't mad at this year.

[DJ Wills]

Kawhi.

[Bishop]

I'm taking Jaylen Brown over.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[T]

Jaylen Brown had a great season.

[Mook]

I'm taking. I'm taking over Donovan this year. Respectful. Yes.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah. Cause you know where them two slots going.

[DJ Wills]

Kawan gotta slide down.

[T]

Damn.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

But Jalen Brown should deserve to be on first team.

[Mook]

Jaylen Brown has to be first team all NBA.

[T]

That's true.

[Mook]

Yeah. Projected second team. Jalen Brown. Chad Holmgren, Jamal Murray, Jalen Durham. Lamelo ball. Lamelo Ball has to make all NBA team. Come on, be here.

[DJ Wills]

That's fire.

[Mook]

Even if it's third team, I don't care.

[Bishop]

Y' all robbed me for all star. I'm all NBA.

[T]

Him and Murray really would have been on third team if Kaden. What's the name?

[Bishop]

Yeah, for sure.

[Mook]

I. I can't believe who get knocked out of third.

[Bishop]

Scotty Barnes.

[DJ Wills]

I can't believe Melo is Derrick White

[Mook]

can get Derek White.

[DJ Wills]

I can't believe they got Lamelo over Jalen Brunson.

[Mook]

I. I don't disagree with that.

[DJ Wills]

That is cr.

[Mook]

That's why I said 13.

[DJ Wills]

No,

[Bishop]

I've been robbed enough.

[DJ Wills]

No shade.

[Bishop]

But I definitely led the league in threes.

[DJ Wills]

No shade, bro. Like Derrick White.

[Mook]

What?

[T]

I said he ever said, bro.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, like what are we doing?

[Mook]

Yeah, respected Derek White. You're not supposed to be 13, Mike.

[Bishop]

Yeah, speak on Derrick White. Don't speak on the ball.

[Mook]

Scotty Barnes, respect to your season. But if it was like that. Yeah, that would be the ones that pip 19.

[DJ Wills]

Well, like I still like I'm sure some people that I'm missing right now like Jaylen Johnson confused. Did he miss too many games or something? I'm think why the is Derrick White over Jalen Johnson?

[T]

Scotty Barnes and Derrick White.

[Bishop]

Scotty Barnes is not better than Jalen Jones Johnson.

[T]

Not even if they better, bro. They average.

[Bishop]

I'm being better.

[DJ Wills]

Jaylen Johnson average 22.

[Bishop]

10 and 7.

[T]

Yeah, 10 and 8.

[Mook]

He has to be 13.

[DJ Wills]

Can you please go to Derrick White stats? This is no shape.

[T]

You're a hell of a basketball player.

[DJ Wills]

But this very good basketball player.

[Mook]

That's crazy. It's 5:20 in the morning out the gate. Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Hell no.

[Bishop]

This is highway Robinson get you 39%, bro.

[Mook]

What?

[T]

What he got?

[Mook]

Oh, that's one thing I do like about Derrick White.

[DJ Wills]

He don't give a great relationship. He's a good person.

[T]

He got some great relationship.

[DJ Wills]

Who is your peoples.

[Bishop]

That's what it's because that's what it's about. Jaylen Johnson is on him in every category.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, bro. Keep folks tell me Jalen Johnson and

[T]

he's in the playoff playoffs. It ain't like.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, they locked for the playoffs. They the best player on a playoff team. Oh, 10 and seven.

[Mook]

Yeah, bro.

[Bishop]

A joke, bro.

[T]

This is crazy.

[Mook]

Yeah, we'll see what happens.

[Bishop]

Derek White knows somebody or official but and that might be in his something to get paid I with Derrick White,

[DJ Wills]

but I do with Derek White.

[Mook]

Hell yeah, Denny Obvious. That's dumb. Yeah, obvious.

[DJ Wills]

That is crazy.

[Bishop]

Yeah, cuz Demi probably got a better year than Scotty Barnes.

[T]

For sure. Yeah, for sure.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah. I'm not rolling with them like no disrespect Scotty Bar. He had a guy shout out to

[Bishop]

Scotty Born shout out to my LaMelo second team.

[T]

He was killing 18.

[Bishop]

They couldn't rob you of that, bro.

[Mook]

They couldn't do it. Bromelo.

[DJ Wills]

He made second team over Jalen Johnson. I'm be a little upset.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Hey, get ready to be bad. Grab your tissue. Y' all already robbed us out of an all Star, man.

[Mook]

Y' all not rob and be here. Don't worry, the jersey's on the way too. The Melbourne jersey will be displayed.

[Bishop]

Yes, sir.

[Mook]

It's on the Way.

[Bishop]

Yes, sir. Y' all better be glad we don't got a ton more lockers.

[DJ Wills]

So you take it. You taking them steps?

[Mook]

Yes.

[Bishop]

My mental health, what I had to deal with. Yes. My coach benched me, and I still damn near led the league in threes.

[Mook]

Nah, I had to fight the road.

[DJ Wills]

You ain't all NBA, bro.

[Bishop]

You didn't have to go through nothing, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, bro. Nobody else, bro. Avery coning up 17, bro. Well, he got the 18 before he got there, right? He got the 18 in Washington for

[Bishop]

there's so many other. That's not desirable, bro. Speak on them other, bro.

[DJ Wills]

Oh, I did. We already did.

[Bishop]

No, not enough, bro. Scotty Barnes. Derrick White is Derrick White. You got the plug. And I need to tap Derek White

[Mook]

has best relationship in NBA. But, but, but. Yeah, man.

[Bishop]

Maybe his impact, I think.

[DJ Wills]

Jaylen, we y' all not even in the playoffs. For real.

[Mook]

Yes, we are, bro. We in the play in. We play tonight.

[T]

Not to play off.

[Bishop]

What do we do?

[DJ Wills]

Dj?

[Mook]

We play tonight.

[DJ Wills]

Y' all got a game before the game. Y' all play a game before the game started.

[Mook]

I said nothing about the Miami Heat when they did it. The final. So part of the playoffs. 68 and 64 is where we at, man. Man. All right, man. While we here, most exciting player so far this season for y'.

[Bishop]

All.

[DJ Wills]

Oh. Oh, yeah.

[Mook]

I know you're gonna be here.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wills]

Who the most exciting player being?

[Bishop]

Oh, it's Lamelo Ball, bro.

[T]

You might not be wrong about that.

[DJ Wills]

Most exciting.

[T]

Pretty exciting.

[Mook]

How you feeling, Boop?

[T]

Lamelo Ball. Pretty excited.

[Mook]

I'm gonna go with my dog, Keonte. George, man. Him or Bryce. Sensible. Cause anytime that the Jazz was tanking, they still hooked up on the shoulders. He was more crazy.

[Bishop]

Luca, too, though.

[Mook]

Yeah. Luka with historical performance. This the second half of the season for sure.

[T]

1000% WEMBY shit.

[DJ Wills]

I'm about to say Wemby was the most exciting for me.

[Mook]

Wimby was doing amazing shit all season long.

[Bishop]

SGA was cooking niggas this year.

[Mook]

Who was the best ISO player this year, in your opinion? What's some of y' all favorites?

[T]

Always gonna be Jalen Brunson for me.

[DJ Wills]

Sga.

[T]

Jalen Brunson, bro. His fourth quarter ISO game is insane.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I'm rolling with sga.

[DJ Wills]

Second.

[Mook]

I ain't mad at all. Best league pass team. It started off as the Chicago Bulls. Oh, my God, it's the Charlotte Hornets for sure.

[DJ Wills]

The Bulls fucked my whole first five game.

[T]

It was a great first five.

[Bishop]

You need to Just argue with me. I'll never forget. I will never forgive you.

[T]

The first five games was a great run, bro.

[Mook]

I believe, bro.

[Bishop]

Who was the white boy on the

[Mook]

team after Josh Giddey failed?

[T]

Shit went crazy.

[Mook]

D Hud crossed him.

[T]

Everything went bad, bro.

[Bishop]

Yeah, that's a fact. That's a fact.

[DJ Wills]

My league pass team though was the Hawks. That ain't even like no biased shit though. I don't mind watching the Hawks play for.

[Mook]

Yeah, I ain't mad at that at all. Most disappointing organization.

[T]

Woo.

[DJ Wills]

Sacramento Kings or the Kings. Oh no, I'll take the Milwaukee Grizzlies, bro.

[Mook]

Damn.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I'm smashing things.

[T]

Brooklyn Nets pretty bad.

[Mook]

The Brooklyn was so bad, I even just didn't even think about them. Like. Not that you'd be considered in any

[DJ Wills]

of these conversations because they don't have no star.

[Bishop]

They don't have no star. Like what's the name though?

[Mook]

Started out hooping.

[Bishop]

Yan is supposed to be in the playoffs.

[Mook]

That's a fact.

[DJ Wills]

Yeah, I think Milwaukee had a bad year.

[T]

And if you look at the Kings, they should be in the playoffs too. If you look at no 100%.

[DJ Wills]

I just still don't understand why they signed Miles Turner.

[Mook]

Yeah, for what they did to get him Dame to do that.

[T]

They wasted a year of his life, bro.

[Mook]

And he got paid, but got paid.

[T]

But God damn.

[DJ Wills]

I just don't understand what they went and did that to Dame.

[Bishop]

They could left him in and Al need to play with a team like OKC or something, bro. He can't play with no been a focal point Pacers.

[T]

He was already on the team.

[DJ Wills]

Pacers are never gonna be right. Cuz I we me and Miles put the curse on him.

[Mook]

No curse.

[Bishop]

I know. M for sure put the curse.

[DJ Wills]

You text me when it first happened. I remember the curse.

[Bishop]

Miles does not put the curses on.

[Mook]

Hey, you know what they did? They put the jhub side by side with Miles. Her assassin season. That's it, man.

[T]

Hell no.

[DJ Wills]

No, hell no.

[Mook]

[T]

[DJ Wills]

That's my guy. No, no, the curses we here.

[DJ Wills]

Goddamn mile.

[Mook]

How many rebounds that 5.3.

[Bishop]

[Mook]

Nah, round down gotta get a couple more rebounds. He's gonna take off ns. Oh, which is nasty.

[Bishop]

J ain't get no love on same bro. Man, hell, DJ was right. That's the same bro.

[DJ Wills]

He did, he did was top some blocks too.

[Bishop]

That's funny as hell.

[Mook]

Yeah, m gonna get to a Contender, man. And show he can hoop how he's supposed to, man. Bas for him, but he got paid. He had a great offseason. My opinion.

[DJ Wills]

No, the curse is on.

[Mook]

No, we don't. We.

[DJ Wills]

We talked about it.

[Mook]

Oh, man. Had enough of y' all so far.

[DJ Wills]

Once y' all make. Once y' all make it right with Miles, man, we lift the curse.

[Mook]

Oh, we won't. We'll talk about the real playoffs tomorrow, but let's go ahead and focus on the play in, man. The Sixers in the Magic. Two disappointing teams. Who will get this win?

[T]

[T]

I will be kind of

[Mook]
