2. MVP Considerations and Player Performances

• DJ Wells [04:10]: "Should he even be in consideration for MVP? No, I said, hell no."

• T [05:08]: "He should be in consideration for all NBA, though. Yeah, he should be fighting for that third spot on that third guard, all NBA team."

The conversation also touches on other standout players like Donovan Mitchell, SJ, and Jalen Brunson, assessing their impacts and potential accolades for the season.

3. The 76ers Tanking Debate

A heated segment delves into whether the Philadelphia 76ers should intentionally lose to secure higher draft picks. The team’s nine-game losing streak sparks skepticism among the hosts about their playoff chances.

• DJ Wells [08:33]: "They got to lock in and go get this chip, bro."

• T [10:02]: "I don't think they gonna make the play-in, to be honest."

The hosts forecast potential playoff scenarios, focusing on the Eastern and Western Conferences. They speculate on exciting first-round matchups, such as Pistons vs. Pacers and Knicks vs. Bucks.

• DJ Wells [07:48]: "A Pistons Pacers first-round matchup would be fire. Obviously, we built ass in that situation, but that would be a really, really good competitive series."

In the West, discussions highlight the challenges teams like the Lakers and Nuggets would pose in the playoffs, emphasizing the difficulty of certain matchups.

• DJ Wells [18:03]: "Stay away from the Lakers, most definitely. Cause they do have two bigs who could kind of deal with Jokic or try, at least."

• Bishop Hendricks [36:55]: "They changed the rules to make it more appealing to guys my size or guys who weren't as athletic like a white guy."

• T [36:19]: "They say white guys weren't athletic. They were more skilled, can shoot more fundamentally sound."

Good morning. Happy Thursday. It's 5:20 in the morning. Your favorite sports show here to keep you up to date and everything in the sports world related especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is D.J. wells, joined this wonderful morning by my two brothers. To my left, Bishop Hendricks. To my right, my brother T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing?

[Bishop Hendricks]

What's up nasty?

[T]

Hey, chilling, bro. What up?

[DJ Wells]

How Y'all feeling, man? You know what I'm saying? We back on this broadcast game. We was on playback last night. Piston Celtics, man. We was in the studio trapping late night, man. Y'all good? Yeah, it's like a back to back in the NBA in the podcast game.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I enjoyed that yesterday.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. Shout out to everybody who put up to the playback situation, man, it's a big ass party. We're gonna do that every week, every Wednesday. The best game we will be in attendance. Let's go ahead and start with the game that we broadcast last night, man. Pistons built an ass situation in Detroit yesterday. Took care of the Celtics. 117 to 97, man. Malik Beasley with a 26 piece. Cade went crazy with 21 and 11. Hey, man, we was early on this Pistons team, man, especially you as well. Yeah, eight game win streak, man. Show him some love.

[T]

Yeah, I seen the real, you know what I mean? But they led by Cade Cunningham, who's been having a fantastic year. But guys like Malik Beasley are having breakout years. Probably got a chance to land six men of the year between him and Peyton Pritchard. And last night, if that was any kind of example of who could be six man of the year, Malik Beasley.

[DJ Wells]

Like he stepped up, most definitely hooped out yesterday. 26 beats. Like you said, playing with crazy confidence. You was locked in yesterday with the Pistons, man. Would you see a big difference with.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't know, man. They just play harder than the Celtics. I feel like the Celtics took a little bit off the gas. No disrespect to the Pistons, but good win. Good win for the squad, though. Straight up. K the Beast. K shooting that 12 times out the gate was. I ain't never seen him do that before.

[DJ Wells]

I was gonna say, look, we looking right here at the stats yesterday. Shot since my boy 21. Yeah, he definitely got 12 of those in the first quarter for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, he was aggressive early, but they, I mean, I guess they need him to go. So they feed off his energy. So that was a good win for them boys for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, man, you look at the cage stats, man. 25, 9 and 6. I don't know if he's hiding MVP, but should he even be in consideration for it? No, I said, hell no.

[Bishop Hendricks]

No, he been killing, though.

[T]

He should be in consideration for all NBA, though. Yeah, he should be fighting for that third spot on that third guard, all NBA team. It's gonna be a tough one, but he definitely should be in that conversation, man.

[DJ Wells]

You said that now. I'm thinking about some of those possible players who will be eligible. You look, you got Donovan Mitchell. Obviously he's probably gonna be first team. SJ gonna probably be first team as well. Right. Then you go after that second team. Jalen Brunson probably gonna get second team. Who's that? Two guard ae.

[T]

I don't know. That's the question. Jayson Tatum. Would they consider him a small forward or a shooting guard? I don't know.

[DJ Wells]

They gonna put him in the front court.

[T]

Jaylen Brown.

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[T]

I don't know what you consider him. So.

[DJ Wells]

So JB Dammer gotta get one of them second on NBA spots for sure. Yeah.

[T]

But it's gonna be between Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard. It's gonna be a battle. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

I was gonna say, I'm thinking all the good guards in the league this year.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Mm. I ain't mad if Cade get in that third spot though.

[DJ Wells]

He has to at least. Yeah, it would be a travesty. He's at least not third team all NBA. That'd be a travesty for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

For sure.

[T]

Yeah, I think he should. I think he deserves that. And I wouldn't be mad if Malik Beasley got sixth man of the year. I mean, I know Peyton Pritchard's put on a hell of a performance too, but I think the Celtics would still be the same without Peyton Pritchard. I don't think Detroit would be playing like that without Malik Beasley.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely. I wonder if the J. Nivi timing of the injury is going to hurt him in the situation because how many games he probably been started, it might disqualify him from the situation. Or do they even care about that?

[T]

I mean, he came off the bench last night.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, touche. But I know he played a little bit more, but yeah, I agree, man. He. Denver should qualify for sure, man. Hey, we laugh at JB Bickerstaff telling them to take them damn hoodies off and put on the Coach Carter swag, but hey, so far it's work. He gonna turn the team around, bro.

[T]

Yeah, I think he did a hell of a job. I mean, he should be considered for coach of the year. Obviously. We know Kenny Aginson is going to win that. I mean, 48 and 10. How can you. How can you go against that? Yeah, but.

[DJ Wells]

And taking your old team to the 48, more importantly.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[T]

JB having a heck of a year, a bounce back year. Got them boys playing right, Playing with a lot of confidence.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely be here, man. Like you said. Is there anything we should take from this game. Celsius just had off night.

[Bishop Hendricks]

No, no, Celtics. I mean not the Celtics. The Pistons is playing good, bro. Nobody even had them in the sixth position. We never would have thought like we damn near was thinking playing or Cooper flag stakes for the Pistons. So they over exceeding this year for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely, man. Show some love to the Pistons, man, respect as it is now they in that sixth spot with the Knicks. They probably want to get away from that.

[T]

But why?

[DJ Wells]

Oh, you don't think they worried about the Knicks?

[T]

Nah, I don't think nobody worried about the Knicks, to be honest. I think the Knicks are good, but I don't think nobody fear the Knicks. Like they haven't beat any quality teams really.

[DJ Wells]

That is true.

[T]

Any of the top teams. So they play well against the people under them, obviously, but I don't think nobody's scared. Like if you look at the matchups, the two teams in the east, everybody like damn, we hope we get probably the Knicks and the Pacers. Yeah, it ain't no shade. It's just like, damn, I don't want to play the Cavs. I don't want to play the Celtics. I damn sure don't want to play the Bucs. It's like, shit, I got a chance against the Knicks and the Celtics. If I'm the Hawks, the Heat, Magic Pistons.

[DJ Wells]

I'm like, yeah, a Pistons Pacers first round matchup would be fire. Obviously we built ass in that situation, but that would be a really, really good competitive series. I would love to see a Knicks bucks first round as well too. But yeah, man, shout out to the Pistons, man. Super competitive. We didn't think they was going to have a better record than the Magic. I know the Magic was hurt, but like you said, we was thinking definitely play in. But salute to them, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Pacers play the Pistons first round. That was possible. What's that series? What's the number on that?

[DJ Wells]

I think it's a hell of a six game series. Pacers get it.

[T]

I'll probably go. Just because the Pacers been there last year, they probably win the series. Yeah, but it'll probably go seven though. I think at Detroit Pistons gonna win all their games at Detroit, Pacer's gonna win all their games at home.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's why I said I can see that going six for sure. But that would be a hell of a series for sure. Very, very entertaining to say the least. Speaking of the Knicks took care of the 76ers yesterday. 110 and 105, man, 76ers on a nine game losing streak, man. It's real wicked. You know what I'm saying? Six. First record in the league right now.

[T]

Six. You gotta lock in and go get this chip, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nah, for sure, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah. He's locking in for prize picks is what he's doing.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Because it is time is not on your side, bro. Let's get the locker room together, bro. So y'all can go on that stretch and be a playing team and you know what I mean? Get that road. The real. The real little Giants, you know what I'm saying? Success story.

[DJ Wells]

Can we go to Easter conference and this please? Because I would want to see what type of a wish streak they would have to have to even get into the play to the 10 spot. Right?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Well, we're 58 games in.

[T]

Ain't that bad. They gotta. All they gotta do is go on a five game win streak.

[DJ Wells]

They hit the 10.

[T]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

That's crazy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[T]

They can catch the Heat and the Hawks.

[DJ Wells]

Really?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Mm. We right there.

[DJ Wells]

We right there. If y'all are asking this team, let's.

[T]

Really get rolling though. Like if they just go on a 6, 7 game win stream.

[DJ Wells]

Hey. I am so fucking sick of these niggas. No, they on a nine game losing streak. They're not about to win in a row, man. It's over.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hey, dj. I don't.

[DJ Wells]

It's over. Why can't we just say it's over? You on a nine game losing streak.

[T]

All they got to do is lock in, bro.

[DJ Wells]

We've been saying that all year, bro. It's March now. When are they go lock in?

[T]

I be a fan of that team.

[DJ Wells]

I know. That's why I'm like why we make excuses.

[T]

I hate blue, red and white jerseys.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Respect.

[T]

Blue, red and white jersey. They suck.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It ain't crazy out is what Jeff saying. It's like, look at the numbers.

[DJ Wells]

I. I don't disagree. It's definitely feasible. But when they' having historically bad season, the Raptors are two games behind them. I don't want to hear no more about the 76ers making any push.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean they're a lot closer to the Bulls, bro. Look how close they are to.

[T]

That's right there.

[DJ Wells]

But you know what sad they was past him. They had a nine game losing streak.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I know. They lost nine games and they still right there.

[DJ Wells]

That's nasty, bro. I'm not making no excuses for them.

[T]

I don't think they gonna make the play in, to be honest. I think once they figure out that Joel Embiid Is just done. Let him just be done. I think they gonna start winning games. Watch. But the thing is they. They play weird lineups. I hate how they play.

[DJ Wells]

It's nasty, bro.

[T]

Yeah. I don't like how they play, but whatever.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah. There's no way in hell we expect them to do anything. But, hey, PG hooped out yesterday. He had 25. 8. Jalen Brunson went crazy yesterday with 34 and 7K bridge has been hooping as of late as well. He had 28. Now tyres maxi had 30, but, you know, 12 for 32 from the field. That's crazy.

[T]

Yeah, I don't like watching that.

[DJ Wells]

What's crazy? That or K's first quarter. K, no, don't do that, bro. At least K. At least k was his. 12 for 32 is crazy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You missed. I'm never going against Au Tyrese, bro. I'm never going against it.

[T]

He went over 10 from three, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Bad night, man. Bad night. We in the lab. We're in a lab, man.

[DJ Wells]

And I ain't even mad at him because I see his post game broke my spirit, man.

[T]

Yes.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's crazy. 12 for 32. You just shot that a lot, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, for seven for three is crazy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[T]

I don't pay attention to this for sure, man.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to the super chat. John Carter asks what made the pisses different from last year? Malik Beasley or the chemistry after a horrific losing streak last year? All the above. Probably getting a new coach as well. Cade taking a big leap like you said. They got some vets in the offseason to help that locker room with Tobias and Tim Hardaway Jr. I think just a combination of things, man. And Cade is really, really that good too. For sure.

[T]

They actually got some players that play basketball. Like, you know, I'm being. They had a young team last year. They just didn't have a good chemistry at all. They brought some guys who were playing for something. Tobias Harris got a contract. He always gonna be solid. Malik Beasley is playing for a contract and he's getting an opportunity. He stepped up. Tim Hardaway playing to stay in the NBA. They playing well.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[T]

You know what I mean? They building something there. And they all feel like they can be there for a long time now. Like, damn, we gonna be here a while. That's all you ever want then. The Thompson twin is getting better. Most definitely. Some of the young guys, Duran getting better and you still got what they call him, beast.

[DJ Wells]

Still Isaiah Stewart.

[T]

Yeah, he's still, you know, holding down the fort. So they Got some quality pieces on that team.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely. Man. Shout out to the Pistons before we move from this game. Like you said, I don't think too many people are really having that same respect as everybody as the media does for the Knicks because the Damn blew a 20 point lead last night. Like, this should have been a built to ass situation, but the Sixers made it close on tyres maxi shooting 1232. So.

[T]

Yeah, I like the Knicks though. But I ain't really. I don't.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You ain't sold on them?

[T]

Nah. Like, you don't. I know they good. I know Cat good. I know Brunson good. But I'll definitely not.

[Bishop Hendricks]

So what's your biggest reason, like for not being so? What do they need to do?

[T]

They just an injury away.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Okay.

[T]

Like if cat go down, it's over.

[Bishop Hendricks]

True. They definitely can't lose him.

[T]

Yeah, they done.

[Bishop Hendricks]

What if they lose my kill every.

[T]

Time cat go to the basket, I'd.

[DJ Wells]

Be like, oh yeah, they lose my kill. It's ugly.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It's Christmas.

[DJ Wells]

It's ugly, bro.

[T]

I just. I don't know, man.

[DJ Wells]

Like you said, they are. They are super reliant upon to be healthy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Run to the gravy. But M. Bridges, they probably can still make some noise or him og.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, they got to have both of them.

[T]

Jaylen Brunson get hurt. It's over.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, it's over for sure.

[T]

And the way they play is too grind of a game. It's like, yeah, you, you gotta. You. The way they play is a lot of potential to be hurt. They play a lot of one on one. So it's like a grind game. Like I gotta be my man every time. If you watch Jalen Brunson, he. Everything he do is like hard stops and bumps and pullbacks and it's just like a lot of wear and tear. I see why the end of the year he always be banged up. I'm like, damn. The way you play is just so physical. Cat the same way.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[T]

He go to the basket, his elbows, hey, ah, fall on the ground, it's like, damn. Then you watch Boston play and it's just an easy flow. Kick it. Four, three, drive. Wide open. Kick it. Kick it again. Jason Tatum look like he playing so, so comfortable. He never doing nothing. Look like he gonna get fouled. Just look all easy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Mm, I agree, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I'm rolling. Shout out to treble. And the super chat said if the Sixers set it down, you think that an embiid trade is on the table.

[T]

Don't nobody want Embiid Yeah, I was.

[DJ Wells]

Gonna say they trying to figure out how he can get surgery. So.

[T]

That's damaged goods over there, man. Like they talking about he need back surgery. Make the knee. Right. I don't mean. I mean I know it's all connected, but it's all good.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. That's ugly. Super chat question as well. Quick random question. Who is the best Hooper to come out of Ben Davis?

[T]

Best Hooper to come out of Ben Davis. Courtney James. Who you got?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, yeah. Courtney I like. I like. Clark. I like. Rod. I like.

[DJ Wells]

You gonna say Stanley.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Stanley. I like. Damn. What's old boy? He played in your men's league. Big guard. He was huge in High School. 6, 4. My dog Aaron Henry.

[DJ Wells]

[Bishop Hendricks]

Four year starter.

[T]

Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean that ship went to the chip. I won the football. Just. Yeah. I ain't say best athlete, best Hooper, but he was. He was. He did his thing.

[T]

He's definitely the best athlete to come out of Ben Davis.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. For a fact. And probably one of the best out of state on the laws of keys accomplishment wise, a lot of people.

[T]

State starter, basketball, state champion.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. Very important piece. He just won a football dude to hoop.

[T]

Yeah. He was a Hooper that played football.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Straight up shout out to youngboy going crazy for sure. OKC came back down from 18 yesterday to beat the Nets. 129 to 121 SGA. Light day at the office with 27, 6 and 5. Chet had 22 and 17. J Dub had 22 as well. They Ron Sharp had 25, 15, 5 and your boy Killian Hayes back in the league, baby. With a 19 piece yesterday. He heard you were s. Talking.

[T]

That wasn't me, it was Sada.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Please.

[T]

Nah, I'm hyped for him. He was so trash back then. Got better.

[DJ Wells]

Y'all sent that boy off to Europe. He said, now I'm back in the league with it.

[T]

He was weak. I ain't going to hold you. I'm glad he got his opportunity hooping. Good job, bro. Cause I was. I ain't gonna lie. I was a tough critic.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah, it was. It wasn't the best reviews out there.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Maybe 18.

[T]

It might have been a team, but you know what I mean. Detroit was a tough place to play at that time.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[T]

They weren't winning nothing.

[DJ Wells]

And it's crazy about the Pistons and we'll stop talking about them. But Jalen, I even back next year like him being hurt. I think that he'd be even better with him. But, hey, man, shout out to Kelly Hayes, man, for getting another opportunity, taking advantage of it.

[T]

But yeah, Thunder, do your thing, boy.

[DJ Wells]

Eight down, 18 against the Nets, man. What was going on last night?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, you know, we just playing down to our competition.

[DJ Wells]

Respect.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It happened in little rec leagues all the time, man. It's okay. It ain't nothing. We don't even care about that win, to be honest with you. We just glad to see Chet healthy and playing with the team again.

[DJ Wells]

I was going to say 22 and 17, boy, you get numbers like that from Chet.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Ugly, man, we scary couple years away, man. We going to win a chip.

[DJ Wells]

All right, three teams right here in the West. What team do you think they probably want to play the absolute least out of these? Lakers, Nuggets, Warriors, Lakers, Lakers. That's a bad matchup for them.

[T]

That's a bad matchup.

[DJ Wells]

It's a really bad matchup for them.

[T]

Oh, that's horrible, man.

[DJ Wells]

Even worse than the Nuggets.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yes.

[T]

Yeah, they got enough. I mean, that's going to be a tough series, too, but they need to.

[DJ Wells]

Stay away from the Lakers, most definitely. Cause they do have two bigs who could kind of deal with Jokic or try, at least. They ain't got nothing for Luke and Bron.

[T]

Nothing.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Just a mental standpoint. I done been here before. Y'all knew y'all the little bros, definitely. That's all talent is there, but just.

[T]

Like Shay and J Dub against LeBron and Luka Christmas tree. I don't look right.

[DJ Wells]

It's not fair. And I mean, obviously you probably take SGA over LeBron right now, but it's arguably the Lakers got the best two players in that series. That's always a downhill battle, winning the.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Best players see the win. Cuz I think Chad, you know, if he killed, they got a good shot of winning. It's just that OG kick in, bro. And it can affect you if you ain't ever been in that light before.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely. All right, Super Chat. Which one I'm starting with?

[Bishop Hendricks]

And they running a bank around here today.

[DJ Wells]

Turned up super chat. Fatic98 said, Yo, Jeff, what's up, Big? What's up, bro? Big fan. Always wants to know, would Russ be whispering in your ear after a foul?

[T]

I didn't see it. Or you might be right. You be like, man, that ain't a foul, blah, blah, blah. You might be right. I gotta look at it at halftime. My bad. We'll talk about it. That's it for sure.

[DJ Wells]

What the fuck? Think said. Where's the 520 career page? I'm trying to put this BA to use for the morning show. The fans, me all deserve Freaky Mike didn't respond. Get what's on.

[T]

What is that?

[Bishop Hendricks]

You want a job?

[DJ Wells]

Oh, he got a degree and wanna.

[Bishop Hendricks]

[T]

Oh, you want to show your resume?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Where you live, bro. Get on, indeed. It's like career builder. We ain't hiring Unique.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, when's the last time you've been a career builder?

[Bishop Hendricks]

When I have a job. Like 20, 2019 or something like that.

[DJ Wells]

For sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It's a quality source, bro. Hit your nearest temp agency.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, Nick's on the D, boy. Get it out the mud. For sure. Super Chat again. Mike O Nasis. Y'all going for the Jordan One High Union today? March Madison's here. Who's your Final Four?

[Bishop Hendricks]

They already got them, y'all.

[DJ Wells]

I'm gonna try to get the unions. I don't got them. They definitely fire Final Four. I just know Louisville gonna be there.

[T]

I don't like the unions. They. They like.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But that's crazy.

[T]

March madness.

[DJ Wells]

That was A.J.

[T]

Nah, don't. I don't like them ones.

[DJ Wells]

He said, you got the real unions turn up.

[T]

I got the other ones. Them was kind of mid, but March Madness. I got. I don't know who the hell I got. I got St. John's Rick Matino will.

[DJ Wells]

Get in the Final Four.

[T]

Final Four.

[DJ Wells]

I won a St. John's Louisville Final Four game. Very, very bad. Duke is good enough to be there. I don't know if that happens because most of the time, the best team don't win. Auburn is nice as well, but I think it's all about the draws this year for sure.

[T]

I ain't really rolling with Auburn. Auburn, though?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. It could be fool's gold for some reason.

[T]

I think Texas A and M gonna make a run. They just random. They offensive rebounding is crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's Chris Beard, right?

[T]

No, dude, he used to. Nah, this buddy used to coach at Virginia Tech. Forgot his name.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, my bad. Shout out to Chris Beard.

[T]

Desmond Cloud from Super Chat said shout out to T but can the cats get a little bit more love for their intent? Is dumb. Very rare.

[T]

I mean shit, I gave him all the love for two months.

[DJ Wells]

So you kicked off the Cavs?

[T]

Yeah, I've been repping the Cavs, but now it's becoming routine. We gotta see what they gonna do in the playoffs. I mean we just did a podcast with Kyle Koever and Paul Millsap. This looked like our team. I ain't gonna lie. We was whooping shit like this and it's just like normal now. Yeah, now we waiting for the playoffs. Let's see where the real ball start, see what they gonna do for sure.

[DJ Wells]

And also, y'all had to go against LeBron. Ain't no LeBron, is he? So no, excuse me for them, but.

[T]

They do gotta go against the defending Champs.

[DJ Wells]

That is very true as well. Most definitely. All right, man. Rockets together at spurs yesterday, 118 and 106. Twin went crazy with 25, nine. Jay Le Green 21 was seven. The Air Fox didn't have a good game Yesterday. Only shot 3 for 12. Hey, but this young Rockets team, man, looking promising. Very, very entertaining team. Jabari Smith back playing for the team, getting some minutes. How y'all feel about the squad, man? Is this a team that could go to at least to the second round?

[T]

Yeah, they can make it to the second round. Do I think they will? No. My Thompson twin, my new superstar on the way. He cold hooping. Yeah, him and his brother good. But this is the better one. He the guy. Yeah, respectful, the guy. But I don't know, man. It depends who they match up with. Let me kinda see the west standings.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's another young team too.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I think believe they're at the fourth spot right now. Yeah.

[T]

If they match up with the Lakers, that's gonna be tough.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, they need to go get that three spot. Yeah.

[T]

It don't matter who that match up with. It's gonna be a tough. It's a tough out over there in the west, man.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I think they can handle the Clippers.

[T]

They could beat the Clippers, but it's still gonna be tough. We don't know. Kawhi Leonard turned to a different person during the playoffs, so that is a tough one.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Kawhi James, mpz, Zubak. Ah, it's quiet.

[DJ Wells]

I don't think that. I don't know, man. I just need to be a helpless here. I think that's the best chance of winning.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I like that matchup though. Shay gone, whatever you call him in Zubeck though. Yeah, that's solid.

[DJ Wells]

Because them OGs gonna have to guard them young boys too.

[Bishop Hendricks]

This is James Harden so smart, bro. I don't know.

[DJ Wells]

But James Harden does not play defense. And he's gonna have to play defense that series. Maybe he gonna have to, bro. Especially for he gonna have to play defense.

[T]

The thing about him, he can guard the Thompson twin.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[T]

Cause he can't shoot. And James is strong, bro. Yeah, James is so James is like a power forward on defense.

[DJ Wells]

We saw when he's guarding Miles.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nah, for real. I'm saying I don't really don't matter. He gonna forget in where he fit in.

[DJ Wells]

But them young boys run up and down.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Bro. I don't know. James Harden different.

[T]

I mean, Clippers can slow that game down. It could get different. Yeah, but.

[DJ Wells]

And you're right, Play off. Kawhi.

[T]

It's gonna be a different. It's gonna be a tough out wherever they go.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Kawhi can walk the Rockets down for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. You can't duck Smoke on the West.

[T]

Even if the Rockets get the two now, if they work their way up to getting the two. Cause they only what a game couple games back from the Grizzlies. They can get to two and then it's green. They get to two, it's green.

[DJ Wells]

They can handle Timberwolves.

[T]

Yeah, it's green.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, I agree.

[DJ Wells]

For sure, for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, man, they really probably beat the hell out too.

[T]

What's gonna get spooky in this west if we being for real. If Anthony Davis come back healthy and Gaffer come back healthy and they go to the 8th and that 18 matchup between Thunder and the Mavericks. Yeah, that's another.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, that's another Warriors Mavericks back in the day.

[T]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. That could get real tricky.

[T]

I can get. I can get dangerous.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, we're gonna see how good Chet is because he's gonna have to deal with Anthony Davis. A pissed off Anthony Davis. Yeah, that's a hell of a series.

[T]

I can get dangerous right there.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It can. It's just. They ain't old enough, bro. Sometimes you ain't old enough to get in the club and kick it, man.

[T]

That's a fact. I would love to see them healthy. I hope the Mavericks get healthy and get a good four or five game win streak before.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Cause you gotta deal with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis in the playoffs. That's tough for sure, man. Let's get through some other games that took place yesterday. Belt to ass situation in Naptown. Pacers took care of the Raptors, won 1191. Tyrese went crazy. 33, 11 like that at the office. For sure. The Blazers beat the Wizards yesterday, 129 and 121. Shayden Sharp broke the Internet yesterday. He went off for a career high of 36, 8 and 5 yesterday. Hey, man, your Blazers, they got some pieces.

[T]

They solid, man.

[DJ Wells]

They got some pieces.

[T]

They a fun team to watch. I promise you, man, if y'all ever get a chance to watch the Blazers, if y'all boring and y'all wanna watch, you know, get on the game, get you some NBA league passing. The Blazers are a fun team to watch. They got a lot of young talent, good athletes. You might see some highlight plays like last night.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Good.

[T]

I mean, they got a good young core.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, man, if they don't win, if they don't capture the flag. You mad at Ace Bailey out there?

[T]

I don't want Ace out there. He gonna come. I like shading. They basically similar.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Who said beginning of the year. Harper.

[T]

Hey, Harper out there? Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Can he play with Scoot?

[T]

Jeff said that I'm ready to get rid of Scoot.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You school Scoot?

[T]

Yeah, yeah. Scoop, scoop. Remind me of Davion Mitchell.

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[T]

He a little better. A little bigger, but, like, they good backup guards. You know, you got that guy come in, gonna pressure the ball, play defense. Eight to 10 points. I think Dylan Harper is a star. Potential. He kind of got that Cade Cunningham in his game a little bit. Not as athletic, not as tall, but strong. Strong.

[DJ Wells]

Good pace.

[T]

Jalen Brunson strength, pace, can shoot, can pass. Yeah, yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

When you said that, I was like, damn, bro. Bro, damn. They're right that you don't want to get rid of school, because that's what, you know, I mean, you had to measure a projected superstar. But sometimes it ain't working out.

[T]

Yeah, sometimes you just gotta, you know, make a pivot.

[DJ Wells]

For sure. He took care of the Hawks yesterday. 131.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Shout out to my boy. Th 2014.

[DJ Wells]

Your favorite white boy were crazy. Bam had 29 as well. They just split that little back to back series they had as well. Clippers took care of the bulls yesterday, 122 to 117. James Harden had 30 and six. Kawhi had 17.

[T]

Dagger three at the end.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, put the kids to bed, man. Playoff. Kawhi on the way. Freaky, giddy, 2112, 8. He was hooping. Kings took care of The Jazz yesterday, 118 to 101, man. Keegan Murray had 26. Zach Levine had 22 as well. And a surprising 25 from Walker Kessler. He hooped yesterday 25 and 14 for sure. We got a couple games and I want to see how y'all feel about them. Warriors at Magic.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I'm gonna go with the Magic tonight.

[DJ Wells]

You all with the Magic.

[T]

I'm gonna take the Warriors.

[DJ Wells]

Nuggets at Bucs. It's gonna be a hell of a game.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I'm rolling with the Bucks.

[T]

I got the Nuggets.

[DJ Wells]

I'm gonna go Nuggets as well. Hornets at Mavs.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Mavs.

[T]

Mavs.

[DJ Wells]

Light work. Pelicans at Suns.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Suns.

[DJ Wells]

Take a nap.

[T]

Taking the Suns.

[DJ Wells]

T. Wolves at Lakers.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Lakers. Bro. All home games for me, man.

[DJ Wells]

Okay, I see where we're going today. Straight through for sure. Back in the super chat, Sean Stewart said, young Nacho, can you come off the bench and get my pistons 15 minutes.

[T]

Nope.

[DJ Wells]

Very quick.

[T]

I can't.

[Bishop Hendricks]

The real J N Ivey.

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[T]

I really can't.

[DJ Wells]

The real J Knive is crazy by the way.

[T]

You give me like they gave me like seven months to prepare myself. I could, I could play, but I ain't gonna give y'all but I could play.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Can I go in there just, you know, I mean lead the team for a little bit?

[T]

Yeah, I can get some assists. Yeah, I can do that.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But little pick and roll.

[T]

I'll be so tired. I'll be so tired after the first five minutes.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You and Isaiah Stewart in the pick and roll is crazy.

[T]

It'd be out here it probably average 10 with me throw that up. Yeah, I could pass like a. I always could do that.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You sound like me dawning.

[T]

I can always pass.

[DJ Wells]

I'm gonna tell you right now, the link up that we don't need is you and us. Their story, the YouTube compilations is gonna.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Break the real crash outs.

[T]

The blues defense is gonna be awful though. You might as well.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, that boy ain't getting back. T gonna be reaching his head.

[T]

Definitely not getting back.

[DJ Wells]

It's a rap shout out to the take pals playground queen06 said Tig would you wear the shades new shoes once some more colors drop?

[T]

Yeah, they signed me Converse. I wear them too.

[DJ Wells]

Tap in. Hey, they actually fire too.

[T]

Yeah, they got a bad looking shoe. I would wear them for show.

[DJ Wells]

Teddy Hart the super chat said Focus tickets bounce early. Bring Katie back home. We got the most assets. They have to consolidate at some point. Too many youngins and picks to keep them all. Not a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, I still think he got a few years left in him so.

[T]

Yeah, I wouldn't be mad to see KD back in okc. That'd be fire and he can play in any kind of system. Yeah, he just love hooping talking.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I like him back there better than.

[T]

But I don't think he want to go back to okc.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, we will see but we know damn sure he will not be in Phoenix next year. BK bully I got a theory that the NBA media pushed the analytics narratives to limit players from the trenches making it and give white boys a chance to excel.

[T]

Oh yeah, I ain't against that. Yeah, yeah, they started making it about you kind of. You can tell that with the way they rough the game. Used to be a more athletic game. You had to be like a superior athlete to be able to get by your defender strong. All these things. And they changed the rules to make it more appealing to guys my size or guys who weren't as athletic like a white guy. Basically we say white guys weren't athletic. They were more skilled, can shoot more fundamentally sound.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[T]

European players, all that and they made it more appealing to them to grow the game worldwide.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Look at Jokic, he running the league.

[T]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Whooping shit.

[T]

It's just support worldwide, like because most Europeans, when they were coming over here, they were getting bullied. They weren't athletic enough. They couldn't get by. They man. And if you go play in Europe, it's more of a team based game where you gotta use plays and fundamentals and stuff to get open. In the NBA it was more ISO, like you ain't athletic if you ain't got handles. You can't beat your man. You're not strong, you can't play in here. It's a man's game. And they changed that to make it more of a worldwide game.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely. And we talked about having Kyle Korver in the pod if Kyle Korver played in today's NBA. The pay difference is so crazy. Yeah, yeah. So definitely a little bit of truth behind that for sure. Nate Patrick, what's it really like to guard Kyrie? We see visually what the covers look like, but what is it like as a player who has had to guard him? Is he really that much better than everyone on the floor?

[T]

Yeah, he's just a shot maker. Obviously. We know he can dribble, he got handles and all that stuff, but he makes shot at a high rate. Like tough shots. You could be right there, hand in his face and he still makes them. He's just a tough shot maker.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely. Last but not least, Romerom says if Shay was not Canadian, do you think the league would be green enough for him to be the next face?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yep.

[DJ Wells]

No, I know.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He got the personality, bro.

[T]

He got the personality. I think he's too reserved. Like he's super chill. Like he the coolest dude in the room. He is.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But he hella marketable, bro.

[T]

Yeah, but he like the coolest dude in the room.

[DJ Wells]

But you don't see him talk about anything else outside of the court, which is cool. But you don't see him talk about anything else. That would kind of be a detriment to him being a face.

[T]

He's super marketable to us. We like, oh, he get fresh, he fly.

[Bishop Hendricks]

His captions is fly. I don't know.

[T]

That's to us we thinking about the masses. Like don't nobody cares. You got a mink cone on. They probably laughing. The masses is laughing, like with a bandana on.

[DJ Wells]

Like, what are you doing for our NBA? He 1,000%.

[T]

Yeah, we like. He fresh. He fresh and he chill.

[DJ Wells]

He'll be chilling. He got his young lit. Like, he got all the ingredients. But for the masses, probably not.

[T]

Nah, the masses is more like, damn, how many people can love you? Like, yeah, the masses love Steph Curry.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. He don't have no Anthony Edwards Ja Moran effect.

[T]

And that's more for us.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean, like, John Moran is kind of worldwide, though.

[T]

Yeah, that's because he got those highlight done. Like, Shay game is not highlighted.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nah.

[T]

At all. To us, if you know basketball, the highlights that he do are amazing. Like the step throughs and all that bumps, fades.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He got longevity games.

[T]

You like them, it's hard, like, but for the masses, Ja Morant goes dunk on people and he's six foot. It look crazy.

[DJ Wells]

For sure.

[T]

As a kid, I want to do that. I go to the trampoline, shit the park and do John Morant dunks. I don't go do Shay Gilder's moves, but if I'm a pure Hooper, I go to the gym and work on Shay moves.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[T]

You know what I mean?

[DJ Wells]

But well said for sure. Brandy team from the super chat said, why do y'all think Tatum and Giannis get the most hate for no reason? If you have a problem with those brothers, something is wrong with you. Jokers is the only that gets a free pass in the media.

[T]

Yeah, Tatum, they just want him. They don't believe it. They think he trying to be Kobeish, you know, even like some of the quotes he said when they win a championship. Yeah, we did it. And all that stuff.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That boy. Wow.

[T]

That's my dog.

[DJ Wells]

That was nasty.

[T]

But that's what they try to use that like, they don't feel like it's genuine, like he's trying to be something else. And that ain't true. I mean, he being him. But Kobe was his idol and you tend to follow people that you admire. Right.

[DJ Wells]

It's only normal.

[T]

Yeah. And then Giannis, he just not from.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Here and he don't care.

[T]

And he don't give two shits about what y'all talking about.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he just made babies in basketball, bro. Fuck what y'all talking about for sure. All right. Behead verified buckets. Who was getting to it yesterday?

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't really care about that. Master P. Being the president of basketball operations at the. At New Orleans University is crazy to.

[DJ Wells]

Me, for sure, man. All these universities getting GMs, bro, for the nil.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Having Pete coming in and get all your Nil money is crazy.

[T]

So is his son transferring from Houston.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I will not go play for New Orleans University.

[T]

Why?

[DJ Wells]

I'm not even Kelvin Simpson.

[T]

You ain't getting no tick, though.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't know, bro. I don't. I'm cool. Nah, man, New Orleans is not the vibe. Not for my. Nah, bro.

[DJ Wells]

So you can work here, bro. So it ain't good enough to come here, huh?

[Bishop Hendricks]

I transfer if y'all get Double M out of there, bro. It's my only request, bro.

[DJ Wells]

My thing is. Are they playing in the P. Millers?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nah, bro, I just. But Masterpiece do got hella connections, though. But I just. I'm not going to play for my dad, bro.

[T]

I'm just asking, bro. If I ain't getting no tick, I'm on my way to New Orleans. Yeah, my daddy. We're gonna have everybody like Jackson State on the sideline.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Wow.

[T]

Master P. Snoop Dogg.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. That's not the vibe.

[T]

Took the shocker.

[DJ Wells]

Where are they gonna find female?

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's not the vibe, bro. Birdman gonna be there. Sleep Wayne gonna be high.

[DJ Wells]

Birdman doing the national anthem and just going straight.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nah, bro, that's. That's not New Orleans. Ain't it? You know what I'm saying? But hopefully peeking, you know? I mean, turn turned around.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to New Orleans University.

[T]

Man, I didn't even know they had a university.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You know, I Support all black HBCUs.

[T]

I just say HBCU.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It's probably not, but just because Masterpiece became the president, it is now a prestige HBCU university.

[DJ Wells]

No limit university. Tap in.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hold on.

[T]

What is that? Is that like a. Is that an hbcu?

[DJ Wells]

It is not an hbcu.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It's not, bro, but now it is.

[T]

I've never heard of New Orleans. The University of New Orleans. I've never heard of it.
