[D.J. Wells]

Good morning. Happy Monday. It's 5:20 in the morning. Feels good to be back in the studio man. Had A couple days off of the vacation, but we back with y'all to give y'all everything y'all need in the sports world, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is D.J. wells, joined this morning by my two esteemed co hosts. On my left, the B Day boy, my brother, Bishop Hendricks. How you doing this morning, brother?

[Tig]

Cooling, bro. I'm revived, baby. Let's work.

[D.J. Wells]

Let's work now. Listen, we didn't know what was gonna happen, man. The Hendrix Experience was last night. We thought my boy was gonna use his P GTO day.

[Tig]

Nah, hell no. I gotta work still, bro. I got a job to do. My boy went up last night, though. For sure.

[D.J. Wells]

For sure. To my right, my brother Tig. How y'all doing this morning, man?

[Bishop Hendricks]

I'm chilling, bro. You know what it is? Let's get to it. Nasty. I'm vibed out.

[Tig]

This dude's crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

Lawsuit still on the way. Listen, man, a lot of sports happened this weekend, but we gonna keep it basketball this morning, man. We had some great matchups yesterday. Number one versus number two in the east took off yesterday. Donovan Mitchell went crazy in the fourth yesterday as the Cavs took care of the Celtics. 115 to 111. Listen, man, that was a great game yesterday, man. Donvan Mitchell showing why he deserves to be in the MVP conversation.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, man, he's being. He's on a run right now. Their only kryptonite right now is the Hawks. My Hawks. But Donovan Mitchell, man, he playing at an all time high right now. What he did last night, he kind of showed that he's here. All NBA all star started for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Yes, sir.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Playing like a first team all NBA player. I'm excited to see how far the Cavs can go.

[D.J. Wells]

For sure, man. Listen, he had 35 yesterday. 20 in the fourth, seven rebounds as well. Darius Garland showed up yesterday. Last time they played the Celtics, you know, he laid the stinker. But 22 8, he was back on track. No JB yesterday, but JT held it down for him yesterday. He had 33.

[Bishop Hendricks]

8.

[D.J. Wells]

And Porzingis, man, 21 8. It's crazy that this game was that close without JB.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, and that's the big red flag right there. Like it was a close or dog fight all the way through. But like we talk about the Celtics, they got so many players that can be all stars at any given moment.

[Tig]

Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Without jb, you got a close battle like this. Jb, obviously an all NBA kind of player. That's the difference between the Celtics and the Cavs, I mean, JB out. You still got a dog fight. They got JB I. Probably a blowout win for the Celtics.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, that's the crazy part about it. And you were talking about this before. I seen a lot of people say it about that six man a year for Peyton Pritchard. And he'd been balling.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh man, he been bald. He might as well hang that up. That's his.

[Tig]

Yeah, for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

I think the dope thing about the Cavaliers though, for you to have a closing, Donovan Mitchell. And it seems like obviously we know he can get to it, but he's been doing it in the fourth. He's doing it in situations where winning matters. I think to have a player like that get in that mode at this time of the season going forward is going to be ugly, man. Because like you said, maybe they don't match up with the Celtics, but who really does? Other than that, I don't feel confident. Dalvin Mitchell gave me a dub in the fourth quarter.

[Tig]

Yeah, so far I think he, like y'all said, I think Jeff said it. He might be the best two guard in the league right now.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Mm, he ballin'he.

[D.J. Wells]

Going. He going crazy right now for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

My only fear with the Cavs is they one injury away from being an eighth seed.

[D.J. Wells]

True, that's a fact.

[Tig]

They need everybody.

[Bishop Hendricks]

They need the whole squad. Like if they don't got the squad, it's over with. So I pray that they stay healthy. Cause if Donovan Mitchell or Darius Garland go out, they gonna drop immediately.

[D.J. Wells]

And listen, man, I've been looking at some teams in the east that could use a little bit of help on the wing. And we'll talk about how terrible the wishes are later, but a Kyle Kuzma type player could go to the Cavs and help solidify some stuff for them. I'm not saying he gets them over the hump, but another player like that who give him another strong defensive win and able minded shooter and score, that'll get him there, man. I don't know if they could beat the Celtics, but like you said, that'd help with the diffs. Cause that team, everybody gotta play perfect and not get hurt.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean, they still got Karris Avert.

[D.J. Wells]

Six, man, for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, they still got capable players. I mean, old buddy's having an all time year right now. My favorite backup point guard besides Pippen. Pippen, what's his name? Ty Jerome.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Boy, he's playing great. But they need a solidified score. I wouldn't say it'd be Kyle Kuzma. I mean, he could, but he had to come off the bench.

[Tig]

Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

And I don't know if Cools is ready for that. I mean, I know he did it in LA and whatever, but I don't know if he's right there in his career to be like, yeah, I'm coming off the bench.

[Tig]

Yeah, I think he'll be nothing on that. They need, like, Jordan Clarkson or somebody that's somebody that comfortable with being a solidified role player. Kuzma still want to be the star down there on the team. Yeah. I don't see him coming off the bench at all.

[D.J. Wells]

Damn, that's interesting. You think he would have to go to a role where he would start? Because, I mean, I'm just looking. We ain't gonna talk too much about the Wizards, but, like, a player like him could go to another team and probably contribute on the championship level. You don't think he'd be like, all right, well, y'all already got a rolling. I'll come in and do my thing. I mean, I imagine he could probably beat out Isaac or curl for a job if it came to that point.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But it's that chemistry, though. I got you.

[D.J. Wells]

You don't want to alter it.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. Isaac, they playing great. Like, why would you ever.

[Tig]

Yeah, don't fuck up. Yeah, don't fuck up the knobs. Knives for coos.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Too shy. No disrespect to coos, but I'm not messing up the vibes for coos. For sure.

[D.J. Wells]

For the show, man. Listen, man. Celtics, we talk enough about that team. They just go ahead.

[Tig]

They can't win them all. They ain't gonna go 82 and O. That is scary, though, for them to be that close without their dog, too.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Come on.

[D.J. Wells]

And D. White didn't play. They don't. They good, man.

[Tig]

Oh, shit.

[D.J. Wells]

Like, that's what I'm saying. Like, they all right, man. We ain't worried about the Celtics. They lose a couple games.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Still the number one team to me. Right.

[D.J. Wells]

They're still the team to beat. Everybody's chasing them at this point, for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

To still be that good of a team when you got two of your key players out.

[D.J. Wells]

Come on, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Says a lot about that organization. They know how to build a squad, but, I mean, they got.

[D.J. Wells]

They.

[Bishop Hendricks]

They took a chance with the money. They ain't care. A lot of teams care.

[D.J. Wells]

Ramped up, too.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Golden State, when they went on they run, they didn't care. They paid whatever the tax was. Boston, right now, they don't care.

[Tig]

I think we in that era, like I said, I think they in. They in that Golden State era. I think they got a chance to win three in a row.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I'm rolling. They are look like to be what could be the next dynasty in the NBA for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I can see them going back to back this year for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely. Speaking of paying that money, the man that they said they shouldn't have paid that money to forever and Fleet went crazy yesterday. Everyone versus number two in the west, man. Rocket security.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I saw the Rockets, man, beheading.

[D.J. Wells]

Still not believing in them.

[Tig]

Oh, yeah, I'm asleep. Young team, though. I'm just sleep. I'm just sleep on the Rocket.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I like the Rockets.

[Tig]

I love Houston, but I'm asleep on the Rockets.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I just like the real king. I told y'all Dylan Brooks, man, for some reason, nobody likes him. I like Dylan Brooks. He just brings an energy to a group, like a young group. He like, make you believe, like, he don't give a damn. And last night, you know, him and SGA actually cool for him to get the scuffle going for SGA over the ball. That just bring a different kind of energy to a team for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Like you said, it might not always show up in the stats, but the energy and the swag that he brings to a team is definitely undeniable. Listen, man, close game yesterday. 119, 116. I'm saying, bro, love to have a.

[Tig]

Dylan Brooks on the squad.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, you need one of the. Hell, yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

He's that person that you hate playing against but love to have in your squad, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, like, he, like. How can I say it? I ain't gonna say he better than Pat Bev. They remind me of the same person, but he bigger. He more effective than Pat Bev, like. Cause he actually 6, 7, 6, 8. So he actually can like, really bother people. Pat Bev bothered guards and stuff like that, but he actually, like, kind of get under like a SGA scan even though SGA kills. But you can see it.

[Tig]

Like you got a throwback comparison, like somebody from the 90s that Dylan Brooks remind you of.

[D.J. Wells]

I was just trying to think of who I could.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Anthony Mason. I don't know.

[D.J. Wells]

I got a story to tell.

[Tig]

Shout out to the real Ant, man. I'm just saying, like, nah, dog. Like that. Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Cause you know, like, it's different. No shade to Pat Bibb. I love Pat, but Pat a point guard. So for him to be effective is defensive and whatever, but you need your point guard still get buckets in this league get buckets average 20 and 10, blah, blah blah. He don't really gotta do that as a wing. Cause you got scoring guards. He got. He had John Moran. Now he got Fred Van Fleet. And then he got Jalen Green. Yeah, he's straight Desmond Bang. So like his role is to be that. But as a point guard, you kind of got to run the show. Even though when he was with the Rockets, James Harden did all the point guard duties, but they very similar. I just think his role fits a little better.

[D.J. Wells]

For sure, man. That makes a lot of sense. For real. And the crazy part about the whole team, like with Dillon Brooks, like you said, you can feel the void he left when he left Memphis. Now he with this team. The energy, the way they compete on top of that. Listen, man, Ma, you saw what he did with the Celtics, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I told you.

[D.J. Wells]

He's already building early. I know it's early in the season, but he got a tattoo team in the west off two years.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He. Marc Jackson, bro. Boston. No, I love Joe. Joe was my guy when I was in Boston. Joe, Steve Kerr, he built that team, got them where they needed to be. They added a new piece. Joe, get over to Hump.

[Tig]

I see one of them.

[Bishop Hendricks]

So now he goes somewhere else. He building up this Houston team. Hopefully everything goes smooth over there.

[Tig]

I wish them well, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, I know they just. I know they out there. It may. They out there, boy. So tread lightly.

[D.J. Wells]

It's a little different than the Boston football.

[Tig]

It may just. It's a better match. Yeah, you got a better field to play here, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hopefully you just single now, so it don't even matter.

[Tig]

Yeah, don't put him out there. Tap in with me. It may hit the deal.

[D.J. Wells]

The real Pro Am.

[Tig]

Got a few places that you could.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Attend my boy, but he definitely know how to build a team, man. He get people to believe. Like I was against him sending like, ah, what's my guy name and went to Villanova over there. That doesn't get. He didn't get to play anymore. Damn. Ken Whitmore.

[D.J. Wells]

There you go.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I was like confused that he wasn't playing. Cause I think he's a star. But shit, I guess he know what he doing. Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

And yeah, everybody was just like, you know, they gave him high praise, like looking for more Miz, but he like, nah, I got this. Yeah, like, how can you go against him?

[Bishop Hendricks]

You can't, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

They didn't dream of being two in the west earlier at any point in the season. Probably them making the playoffs for Them was probably a great year so far, but they in position to be good. SGA still went crazy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

32.

[D.J. Wells]

1 8. He's going crazy. Jalen Williams, man 22. 5. Isaiah Hardstein, man, 19 and 13. Do you agree with Kendrick Perkins when he said he's the top 10 center in the NBA?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tig]

Cause that's he double double machine spooky anyway, though. So he might fuck around and be.

[D.J. Wells]

Higher, though, at this point.

[Tig]

Honestly, so far as his value, like, his value is damn near screaming top five at the center position.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean, he played great for the Knicks last year. He playing great for them now. They definitely top 10 for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

All right, I asked y'all this question. One and two. Outside of SGA, who's an all Star from one of these two teams?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Somebody gotta make.

[D.J. Wells]

We feel like Jalen Williams is supposed to be All Star.

[Tig]

I'll let y'all cook, man. Y'all know how I feel about this multiple All Star shit.

[D.J. Wells]

You don't feel like sun against. Should be one for the Rockets. I'm saying we go from either team as well.

[Tig]

No.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. Okay. We should.

[D.J. Wells]

18 and 18 and 10.

[Tig]

Is that killing 18, 10 and five.

[D.J. Wells]

At the two seed. I mean, if they stay top three by the time.

[Bishop Hendricks]

What is Jalen Green averaging?

[D.J. Wells]

Let's see. I think Jalen Green is probably in the mid-20s, but we gotta go to his stats.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That'd be lit if he make the All Star team. Oh, I mean, 19. I'll probably have to give it to Sagan.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, especially with the gardener.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, especially the Gardner west if he can get his up to like 22. Cause Jalen Williams is averaging 22. If he can get to 22 and they number two in the West, I give it to Jalen Green. Bust a gun right now. Is. Yeah, I'm gonna go with it.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, that's tough. 22, 6 or 5.

[Tig]

My boy Jalen Woods.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, he deserved to be an All Star, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

For sure, man. Shout out to the young boys. Killing it for sure. James Harden went crazy. Vintage 39, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He been on a little tear.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he been looking like. You know what I'm saying? Days of James Harden's pass. Took karaoke yesterday.

[Tig]

He still got it in the tank, bro. It's still there. 39, 11 and 9.

[D.J. Wells]

Damn near triple Dub at his big age, bro.

[Tig]

He's still cooking, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, he different. I'm not even going to talk about.

[Tig]

Him with Justin to those players. Like, he had a sacrifice for Paul and Kawhi, you feel me? Fell into that role dumbed down his stats. So he like, shit, we back in.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Houston, back in Htown la, we back home with running your track.

[D.J. Wells]

But that's.

[Tig]

Paul George. I know we give Paul George shit on the show, but I feel like he needs to be James Harden, bro. James Harden dumbed down his role for y'all, but when we need him, he coming out and killing, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Some people don't got that capability.

[D.J. Wells]

And I'll say this, see how I feel about it? I don't feel like that Paul George was ever a better player than James Harden.

[Tig]

No, no.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm just saying I don't think he get able to.

[Tig]

Nah, hell no. He not talent wise.

[D.J. Wells]

I just don't think that he could ever facilitate a game the way that James Harden does. I think that's the difference. Like they put all the players likewise that was in Houston with this team. And you got great coaching with Ty Lou. It's like, yeah, bro, we put PG in this position. They wouldn't be in the same boat.

[Tig]

No, for sure. Cause they two different players. I'm just saying when it's time to take over, whatever you do as a player, Paul George, turn it up when we need you the most. You can't be a role player when we down three or four players. That's all I'm saying. Just turned up a notch last year.

[D.J. Wells]

When they went out. He started cook. He started cooking.

[Bishop Hendricks]

The thing about James Harden, he's a point guard. So I always tell all players, you want to have the ability to play point guard. Even if you a great scorer, you want to have the ability to play point guard because you can control the game. So that's what make Draymond Green special because he can basically play point guard. So he got the ability to control the game offensively and defensively. But James Harden can do the same thing offensively. He can control the game because he can play point guard. When you just a bonafide scorer, two guard and you can't control the game, that's Paul George. He can have moments where he's great in a game, but to control it, putting people in places to make everybody successful. That's why James Harden can play with undermanned teams and look great.

[D.J. Wells]

For sure, man. Listen, man, he made history. Only him and Steph. Two players everywhere. 3,000 make threes, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's crazy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't think I had 3,000 points. 3,003.

[D.J. Wells]

I want to see how many they missed. But hitting three is crazy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't think I took 3,000 shots.

[Tig]

Man. Somebody look up this nigga's stats.

[D.J. Wells]

You score 10k, we ain't gonna let you downplay that up here.

[Bishop Hendricks]

No, but I don't think that's a lot of shots.

[D.J. Wells]

Like a. I don't think I take.

[Bishop Hendricks]

A. I definitely ain't taking a thousand threes. I'm 100% sure I ain't taking.

[Tig]

How many years you playing in the league, Rody?

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't. Look at them damn jerseys.

[Tig]

55 damn Mitchell desk pop up shop.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Jersey'S up there.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, dicks. We gotta get a Boston boy. We gotta get a Boston Michelin.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I got a bunch of Boston jerseys.

[Tig]

Nah, we need Michelin.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Y'all want the game?

[D.J. Wells]

The game War.

[Tig]

No, we gotta brand it the right way.

[D.J. Wells]

I want the game war. Just put 20, 21 in the that.

[Bishop Hendricks]

How many. How many FGAs did you have?

[D.J. Wells]

Did we see?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[Tig]

Field go to tims.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I shot 2003. That boys put that ho up, they made 3,000.

[Justin Jefferson]

Oh.

[D.J. Wells]

Look, they made 3,000.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Only made 7,900. Ain't that crazy?

[Tig]

Damn, bro, you took 7,000 shots.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That ain't enough. What the.

[Tig]

Look that, that number, that's all like, damn, how many years did my play. I know you 10 plus.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, you do buy that part.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I didn't shoot enough by 11. This shot they did 89. Made half of my.

[Tig]

What is that, Mike? Oh, the three pointers attempted.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I attempted 1900. They made the thousand.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, bro, but I mean only two people have done it, so obviously. But damn, you was in a few wicked spots.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I only made 700 threes in my career.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, broke his foot.

[Tig]

Is that 40%?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hell no. Like 35 something probably 35. My first years don't count.

[Tig]

36.

[Bishop Hendricks]

My first years don't count. I was broke as hell.

[D.J. Wells]

Ellen said, your first early years. Why don't count if you. And also if you play a little bit later.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Look at that, look at that. 21% from 3 my first year. I probably would shoot half court shots for real. They used to sub me in with the one minute to go in the quarter. They used to get the ball every time, chuck it.

[Tig]

21 is crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to the people who fact like they're gonna shoot it before the buzzer golf. And wait, so they say they feel good percentage of this shooter afterwards.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, I learned that quick. Yeah, I start throwing to rookies.

[Tig]

It'd be crazy watching these niggas hoop in. Like you see some this nigga shooting 21%, but you put him in like a regular YMCA jail this around, won't miss a damn shot.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's cause that's why I be telling people everybody can shoot. But when you only get one or two shots a game, when you rookie second year player and you miss both them bitches, nigga be like, nigga, you shot 10% on the year. He be like, bitch, I shot two shots again. Fuck you. Look at the. He'll go to Tim. Steph Curry got 17,000. He took 10,000 more shots than me.

[Tig]

As he should.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, definitely.

[Tig]

That nigga's putting that hoe up.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Reggie, Reggie, put that bitch up.

[D.J. Wells]

17 5.

[Tig]

Goddamn Lillard, my boy, get that hoe up.

[D.J. Wells]

And more on the way.

[Tig]

Shout out to my dog, I know you shot 15,000 already.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It's crazy. Ray Allen made that many threes and he ain't. That wasn't a three point shooting league at that time.

[D.J. Wells]

It wasn't, bro.

[Tig]

Nah, hell nah.

[D.J. Wells]

That's why I don't like, when people try to play, like, downplay him. When James Harden passed, I'm like, no. James Harden was in the era where he got to shoot 30,000 threes. Ray Allen, his career was a shooter, but he was a slasher as well. He wasn't just shooting threes.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That wasn't even their thing, though. But, like, that's crazy, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Reggie. Reggie Got some FGAs up, bro.

[Tig]

I put some more respect on Dame Wheeler N got Dame fucked up, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nah, nah. Dame like it, bro. But look how many more three Steph got to everybody. 800.

[D.J. Wells]

It's still going.

[Bishop Hendricks]

And they got my whole career more than everybody else.

[Tig]

Nah, legit.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's crazy. Shout out to them two boys. That's a.09 draft right there. One and two for sure, man. I'm proud of y'all boys, man. That's hard.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to Wardell. Hey, man, this game was crazy yesterday. Jokers had a triple double yesterday. 28, 14, 28, man.

[Tig]

I need a jersey. I don't get, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nor Powell's on his run to being an All Star, man. I think that he out here with that injury bug a little bit. Might have slowed him down, but what they are in the west, but they are. They at top.

[D.J. Wells]

They should be in.

[Bishop Hendricks]

They play in.

[Tig]

They should be within 8.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Do James Harden make the All Star team if they in the playoff race?

[D.J. Wells]

James Hart has to make the All Star team regardless.

[Tig]

Yes.

[Bishop Hendricks]

So he make it over Jaylen Williams?

[Tig]

Yes. 100%.

[D.J. Wells]

I don't like that. That ain't fair.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, yes, it is.

[Tig]

Oh, yeah, William.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he got me in the playoffs. Yeah, he's in there.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He got. You gonna pick him over Jaylen Williams, number one seed.

[Tig]

You got plenty more years to go. I'm nothing on Jaylen Williams making over to James Harden.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Go to James hard.

[D.J. Wells]

That fan vote gonna be too much for Jaylen Williams to deal with, brothers. Ooh, he got a bacon.

[Bishop Hendricks]

22.

[D.J. Wells]

7. That's all star number, bro. And he get that squad anywhere near starts at this point.

[Tig]

That's a disgruntled team over here, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean, it's a close race, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

He's filling up an arena for Steve Ballmer, bro. That deserves a lot, bro. Cause he built that stadium and thought he was gonna have Kawhi and pg and he got James hard right now.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. Respect, James.

[Tig]

It could be the 2000.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You definitely the second. You the third best two guard of all time in my book. Don't worry about it.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, damn.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Every game boss started, just. Just know that's how I feel.

[Tig]

I'm standing on that.

[Bishop Hendricks]

How old is he? 36.

[Tig]

Yep.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I ain't going. I ain't going to do that shit. Don't do it, N. I am it. E. Number three for me. 35. Go. Let's just do it. Go see what D. Wade was doing at 35.

[Tig]

D. Wade. Well, you know what?

[D.J. Wells]

On. Off the court.

[Bishop Hendricks]

No, no, no. Just on the court. Just on the bat. Just on the court. 35 at 35. What year was that for D. White?

[D.J. Wells]

Was that Cleveland?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nah, I think 35.

[Tig]

A lot of them n good at 35.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Cuddy, he might have been in the heat with Brian. 35. You know, D. Wade was a little older than him, but he was.

[Tig]

Yeah, he came in the lead damn near dawn. Connect.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, he was, though.

[Justin Jefferson]

For real.

[Bishop Hendricks]

So.

[Tig]

Damn, D. Wade, I don't know.

[Bishop Hendricks]

We gotta get a chance to look it up.

[D.J. Wells]

Seven years.

[Tig]

Came in 03. Came in the 03 class. 2013. Damn, bro. He's old, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[Tig]

So Dwayne might have still been killing.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, yeah, he might have been killing.

[Tig]

Cause Dwayne was 30 in 2013. Math.

[D.J. Wells]

Math. And we'll look it up for sure. Why we looking it up? Jokic, Another crazy year, man.

[Tig]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Mvp.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He on a run to be mvp. But right now, my leading gear is Jason Tatum and Donovan Mitchell.

[D.J. Wells]

Mm.

[Bishop Hendricks]

And SGA Right there, too.

[D.J. Wells]

There we go.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. Sga. Them three right there. They. They kind of got it for me right now. Jokic, I'm gonna quit saying he don't care about basketball. Cause obviously, to do what he do, he obviously care. I just think other stuff he cares about, too.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely.

[Tig]

Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

And I think basketball just like, this is what I do. This is my job. I'm good at it. But I just love other shit, too. And some people are just obsessed with basketball for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Listen, man, speaking of Western Conference, man number three in the west right now, the Grizzlies came back yesterday against the Pacers. That was down 19. Got the dub. 136 to 121. Listen, man, they won it. Last six games, man. Three in the West. You talked about Job was gonna get his revenge. People overlooked him. People forgot about him. He's making his impact felt.

[Tig]

Can't forget about Jive, man. Too special, man. Too special. Get the smut off his name immediately, please.

[D.J. Wells]

Listen, I know it wasn't this game, but I know y'all saw that OOP called dog. And as soon as he called it, everybody having that conversation again. Who was more athletic between him Russ and D. Rose, that's what that was. I'm not changing my stance on it, but that. Oop, he caught where he jumped and looked at the rim, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

My guy, D. Rose, I watched that put look in the rim and dunk on a. What's his name? Drag boy.

[D.J. Wells]

Drag with two. Yeah, filthy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But Ja, He. He's a freak athlete, too. I mean, the thing about the difference between them two is, like, when you see D. Rose, the way he was built. Yeah, it was like, all right, that's like a running back. Josh Slim, like, he's super skinny. He dumb athletic. But D. Rose was crazy.

[Tig]

Now, that's different, bro. He is. Damn, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He, like, fly like a YouTube person. Nah, straight up, you don't expect that from him. And then, like, when he jump, it's like, what the.

[D.J. Wells]

And to me, I think it's like, he'll jump, but then he'll cock the ball back so far. It's like, bro, that's crazy, bro, that you could just fly like that. For sure.

[Tig]

Yeah. Special.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nah, for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Man, DPOI candidate. How y'all feel about that? Yeah, he be holding it down.

[Tig]

I'm gonna share it with y'all, man. It's the only reason he getting that. I've never seen. Seriously, bro. I've never seen somebody need they that bad, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He only. He. He definitely only plays well and for.

[D.J. Wells]

Real, because Desmond Bain still the producer, you know what I'm saying? He going through a little slump right now, but usually Desmond Band is still produced regardless. But yeah, he's a totally different player.

[Tig]

Crazy, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He needs. He needs ya.

[Tig]

He needs jot the job.

[D.J. Wells]

Stimulus is real.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Marcus. Marcus. My boy Marcus is back. Marcus Smart, he been playing well for them, too. He gives him that Dylan Brooks kind of energy. A little different player. Who better, Dylan Brooks or Marcus Smart?

[Tig]

Yep.

[D.J. Wells]

Today I'll say Marcus Smart. Two years. I mean, Dylan Brooks two years ago, I'll say Marcus Smart.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. I think Marcus Smart was better in Boston, but for this role, I think Dylan Brooks a better player than Marcus Smart for this role.

[Tig]

Okay.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Marcus Smart, a point guard, and he playing with Ja Morant, who's a point guard. It's a little different role. Yeah.

[Tig]

How tall is Marcus Marley? Six, four.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, okay, six, three, six, four. So it's a different role, but he.

[D.J. Wells]

Fit the way that they play so perfectly. Like you said, like, he'll get after it. He gonna full court press you. You know what I'm saying? Gonna get grimy with it. I like him for that team. I think he's definitely what they need. They still need a wing to me to compete in the West. But I like the way their team is built, bro. Especially when Josh healthy. Everybody game slides is all the way up.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah. Job. That's crazy that they play like that. It's like me on 2K when I'm on the team. We. It's like a guaranteed win.

[D.J. Wells]

You and Mal?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, I'm out on the team. Malk struggle, you know what I mean? He can't carry the team. But when I'm out there, like, when I'm there, it's like everything's better. Yeah, yeah. He's Jerry Jackson Jr. Without me, bro. I'm the job Marine of our team, man. But the thing is, I play Dylan Brooks position, so I don't even know how this works.

[Tig]

Damn, Keenan see Marcus smart.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Marcus Keenan. Yeah, you know what? Keenan, he's effective. As long as Bird ain't playing with us. Shout out to Bird. But if Bird and Keenan on the same team, we probably gonna lose.

[D.J. Wells]

The 2k chemistry is hilarious.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Cause they both. They similar players. They both shoot threes and cut. And then they be cutting at the same time and mount quit. Then we got Carl West. Then it just get crazy.

[Tig]

So since we own 2K, is this somebody that you know, y'all can shout them out if y'all want to. Is this somebody that y'all haven't beaten that plays 2K that y'all know is like super cold? Like, who the coldest nigga on 2k?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Super. I played a couple youtubers, but I don't remember. But the game, we had a real good game against the game. I think they beat us by one, right, Mal? Yeah, he hit like a hook shot or some bullshit.

[Tig]

Oh, so he cold at the game.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't even know if that's him playing. Oh, okay. But they playing on his account. I'm questioning if that's him. I don't wanna know if that's him.

[D.J. Wells]

He put smuggle out when we smuggled out. Now when we got in the chat.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He like, yeah, get your team N. You know how he talk. I'm like, it might be him, but I don't know if he. He be on that motherfucker all day. Whoever it is, they don't lead the game. Like, I get up, we go on there right now. But I guarantee you he on there.

[D.J. Wells]

Having a ghost ride for 2k is crazy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I hope that's him, though. But he was also.

[D.J. Wells]

I remember him being really, really cold. At Madden, too. So he might just be like that. He's gonna do some investigation for the show.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But he be on there, though.

[D.J. Wells]

Sure. The Pacers. It is what it is also.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hey. Oh, my God.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to my Detroit fans, the Pistons fans. Oh, y'all. An apology. I called y'all poverty franchise a couple weeks ago and y'all beat all that.

[Tig]

[Tig]

Oh, yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

[Tig]

[D.J. Wells]

Like, calling Rev.

[D.J. Wells]

I did, man. And I love Detroit, one of my favorite cities. But you know what I'm saying, it's his mouse in the palace. It ain't been no love. But I gotta say, we need to do what y'all did and get a new coach. Rick need to get up out of here.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It's always fire Rick. Last year, Rick was a genius.

[D.J. Wells]

Consist. No, no, he wasn't. And I hate that. I hate that we won last because we couldn't fire Rick. I've hated Rick the last two years. Go away, bro.

[Tig]

Y'all need a new team, bro. Y'all not it. Miles, get out of there. King, for real, bro. They don't love you. Retweet, retweet.

[D.J. Wells]

Miles, get out of here. Literally.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Go. See, see, last year, he was defensive player of the year by book. Now all of a sudden.

[D.J. Wells]

And I don't know why you said that, because he was not defensive player of the.

[Bishop Hendricks]

What?

[Tig]

He averaged like three blocks or something.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Last year.

[Tig]

He did. I said that. And y'all put smut on my name for that. I feel like he averaged like three blocks last year. But see, Miles, look how these spacer fans is turning on you.

[D.J. Wells]

Miles, turn that Fantasia on the way to office this morning, brother. Appreciate you. We're going through some things right now. We gotta figure it out, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Don't wanna shoot the ball, man. What's going on, bro?

[D.J. Wells]

It's. I don't know. That was weird. Cause Friday night, this business, bro. He was just fine. Want to shoot the ball. I don't know what it was that, bro.

[Tig]

For real.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I've been here. I was at the game, man. Shout out to the people. I secret at the game. They said, my boy need to get back into Kobe's.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You need that mama mentality.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. I don't know, man, but I think that Puma bag make him feel better at night. And I Can understand why.

[Tig]

Nah, we ain't blame. I love Puma. Lamelo rocking out. God damn it.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, I want some lamelos. Cause the way that motherfucker scoring at ball.

[Tig]

Hey, we ain't putting that on everybody.

Yes, sir. We in a win now mode. We got a chance. Get the first rounder up.

[D.J. Wells]

I like that.

[Bishop Hendricks]

We got a chance. I need him and he's used to.

[D.J. Wells]

Playing in the culture basketball. Yeah, he'll come in and fix. Listen, the Knicks took care of Pelicans yesterday. 118, 85. You got a rule under 100 points. You suck. The Pelicans had 28 at halftime yesterday.

[Bishop Hendricks]

They asked. Come on. Hey, go ahead, Bi. I seen. It's time for you to get out of there. Yeah, I seen Utah. Won't you? You wasn't gonna sign that extension. Smart man. You don't need to be in Utah. That ain't your vibe. But it's time for you to move on, brother.

[D.J. Wells]

The Pelicans need to get rid of everybody. Zion included.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Zion, it's time to go. You don't even want to play basketball for real out there no more.

[D.J. Wells]

He gonna come back for another team next year straight Pappy as hell.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, like he don't want to be out there.

[Tig]

I think he gonna kill somewhere else.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't even know where you can. Who or what would trade for them.

[D.J. Wells]

He want to go to the Knicks, bro. Send him to the Knicks.

[Bishop Hendricks]

No, he don't fit the Knicks. He need to go to Brooklyn. Trade him to Brooklyn.

[Tig]

Oh, he's a Brooklyn for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, him.

[Tig]

He's a BK nigga.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He Baby Biggie. He look like he Brooklyn. Brooklyn him.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, boy, he had mad at that. He had a problem in Dallas, boy. Brooklyn him alive.

[Bishop Hendricks]

New York.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, kale Bridges had 31 years ago.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Just go to the heights, my boy.

[D.J. Wells]

Go to the heights?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, go to the heights.

[D.J. Wells]

Retired jersey in one game.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Starless would be crazy.

[Tig]

Oh, yeah. I don't know. He like him built like a monster. So starlet ain't got another deal. What's that girl name? What's her name? Mike. Mike know.

[D.J. Wells]

Mike Doher.

[Tig]

That girl that he.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, I know her name.

[Tig]

That motherfucker girl big as hell, boy. I said, boy, I got hella fat hoes for you. My, you ain't gotta get them blown up. They might have some hell damage on them, but God damn.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to Mariah Mills.

[Tig]

Oh, there you go. Double ill.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Made back music, maybe.

[D.J. Wells]

Why would you search her name? He pop up.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's wicked, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

That's crazy. All the mixtapes she got is the first to pop up. It's crazy, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Bro, I like that Maybach music. Sweet.

[Tig]

Look at them cheeks and down. Z, you out of pocket. Only you and Shaq can handle her, bro. It's over with, bro. I'm drowning today. It's over with. I want no smoke, bro. I'm good as toast. Oh, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Sweet child desire, man.

[Tig]

That's crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

That's insane. The Raptors beat the heat yesterday. 119, 116. Really good game yesterday, RJ. Barry been killing.

[Tig]

I gotta put some respect on RJ 37, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hey, he's having a hell of a bounce back here, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, yeah, they put a lot of small in his name leaving New York last year.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean, him playing back at home. I know they don't get a lot of attention, but I think that's what he needed. And he's starting to become a player that we thought about when he was.

[D.J. Wells]

At Duke, for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, I'm hype for him and, you.

[D.J. Wells]

Know, saying he dealt with some crazy losses year, lost a sibling. So shout out to him bouncing back, you know, having to work with thought to even get to it like that for sure. They've been talking about the Heat all year. His most consistent player, Tyler Hero, 31 yesterday. You said it. Keep him in Southwest.

[Tig]

My favorite white boy, bro. Go where you celebrated, bro, not where you tolerated, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He celebrated out there.

[Tig]

I don't know, man. Told y'all, man. Let my boy go, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Pat Riley said ain't nobody celebrated here, bro. If you don't got no banners. Watch your mouth. That's how he feel.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's how he talk, for sure.

[Tig]

Nah, I respect it, though. And Pat can say that, though.

[D.J. Wells]

He talk like that to Jimmy and I Think that's crazy, but he like, bro.

[Tig]

Nah, it's real talk, though. But y'all think Jimmy should leave, though, before Pat for sure get the statue.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

No, they already said it.

[Tig]

Send Pat before.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Send Pat.

[Tig]

I mean, not Pat. Jimmy. Send Jimmy away.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, yeah. Jimmy about to be gone.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Jimmy gotta go.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Jimmy. Jimmy. Yeah, he gonna be leaving.

[Tig]

To where, though? Where would y'all put him?

[Bishop Hendricks]

What's Wild Isle?

[D.J. Wells]

Send him to Cleveland.

[Tig]

Wow.

[D.J. Wells]

Wow.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Now we win championships now.

[Tig]

They lit. Yeah, I ain't mad at that. They lit.

[Bishop Hendricks]

We win that chick.

[D.J. Wells]

You got another closer with Don. Another capable defender. Somebody else who ain't scared to guard either one of them. Most importantly, as far as being able to as well. That'll put them in win mode.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Now, I don't like it, though.

[D.J. Wells]

Cause the chemistry.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He might rock the bowler because he play hard, but I like Donovan Mitchell being the leader of that group. I think Cam Johnson, he kind of. He low. You know, he low maintenance, mild mannered.

[D.J. Wells]

Low maintenance is a good word to use in this situation. Jimmy gonna come in there with a blowout, and they gonna be like, all right, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

They'll be good. Cause he gonna. They gonna have some. Yeah, but who you gonna put the ball? Who hand. Who you want the ball to have in the fourth quarter? Well, who you want to have the ball in the fourth quarter? Jimmy or Donovan Mitchell? And it's like, Jimmy's a great closer. We know that. Donovan Mitchell's growing to be a great closer. So you might have that little controversy.

[Tig]

Like, yeah, you don't know if Jimmy ready to sacrifice yet. Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Cause Jimmy ain't gonna walk in there and be like, this dominant team. Not yet.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean, he knew, though. Cause I seen him do it with Minnesota. Like, he was like, this is Kattine. It didn't work out long, but how.

[D.J. Wells]

Many games that last.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He said he did it with Philly.

[Tig]

If cat was a dog to him, to Jimmy, he would've.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, he did it in Philly with Joel, so.

[D.J. Wells]

But I wonder if he got that respect. Because, you know, they wanted to get Donovan Mitchell in Miami. So maybe if he got that type of respect, it could probably work out.

[Bishop Hendricks]

They probably. They probably like each other. We don't even know him off the court. They probably cool. Sure might work. I don't know.

[D.J. Wells]

I just think it's fire for Donovan Mitchell. He'd be in conversation now, because I know that he got a lot of smutty Utah for that. But shout out to Don, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hey, send your shoes, brother. You supposed to say oh yeah, yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

All Star. It's new. All Star on the way, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

We've been waiting for the last Don. I like these new ones.

[D.J. Wells]

All right. We can't even put that on Junior. We're going to do it anyway.

[D.J. Wells]

Lakers took care of the Jazz yesterday. 105 and 104. Did y'all see the end of that game yesterday?

[Tig]

Nah. What happened?

[D.J. Wells]

Man? Basically college Sexton was in a position, you know what I'm saying? Go ahead. Bucket time. And Will Hardy caught the time out the head coach at jazz about 1 second, 1.4 left and they were just like, like, why would you do that?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Basically young, you know, young coach made a mistake. It's all good. I've done that a couple times my second year. You make mistakes.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. That's what happened to that game. Cause it was a close game, obviously. So it's more about the Lakers than does Jazz to be in a competing situation with them. But AD 33 11, LeBron 27 to 14. LeBron is getting stats, but he has looks like old man LeBron, man. And nobody wants to say it, unfortunately.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I mean, shit, what he 40?

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Tig]

I don't know.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I only been carrying the league since I was 18. Like right, like 22 nine, 22 eight. What's that? Eight.

[Tig]

I see LeBron only averaging 22 is crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

But LeBron's I don't know what he was fire. What's crazy. He's top five in the six I believe, too.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hey, what's crazy? I would have averaged 22 any year in my life. I would have told y'all I was that. The fact that we're disappointing LeBron, like, this is a down here, 22, that's crazy. That lets you know how great of.

[Tig]

A player I'm still doing that, bro. I don't even see him getting old. I don't even look at it as old man buckets. It's like, why can't y'all still guard this nigga?

[D.J. Wells]

They still going for the fake out.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Hardest move in basketball.

[Tig]

Nah, that's a fact. That's what I'm saying. It's kind of wicked seeing him average that.

[D.J. Wells]

It just be weird seeing LeBron do a regular dunks now 22x when his.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Head don't really get to the rim. It's like he dunking with all arm now. Yeah, that was nuts, bro.

[Tig]

My head is always at that.

[D.J. Wells]

You said third highest, but, yeah, like.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Bron doing more dunking with the arm now he be like, I got a dunking, and he rim grazing a little bit.

[D.J. Wells]

And people be feeling like they can consider, like, Bradley Beal getting a block on LeBron. Boy, in 2000, two of you, you.

[Tig]

Would have never hit a windmill on that end. But damn, that's crazy, though.

[Bishop Hendricks]

His dunk package is definitely down to.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he got the Jeff Teague duck package there. Oh, that's tough, man. Lakers do well, man. Mavs took care of the blaze yesterday. 137 to 131. Eight of the last nine. Man, Mav's been going crazy. Luca returned, but they've been winning without him. But he showed why he was needed.

[Bishop Hendricks]

36 and 13 yesterday to return. Getting 36 is crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

Something slight off the pond.

[Bishop Hendricks]

A 36 is nuts.

[D.J. Wells]

Walking the park situation. Listen, man, the Blazers, they competed yesterday, and Efrenie Simon had so many fouls in the first half yesterday, it was crazy. But he dropped 24. If it's 27 in the third quarter yesterday, he was cooking, that boy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hey, we watched him. We know that boy can shoot that ball.

[Tig]

He's special for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Free that man, he'd be another good trade candidate. Like, it'd be good in Milwaukee. He'd be good in some of these teams that need somebody off the bench that can get buckets. He'd be a bona fide scorer.

[D.J. Wells]

He one of those guys for sure, man. Like you said, you don't gotta do much. Just get out the way. Let him cook.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Quentin Grant. Quentin Grimes. Excuse Me had a great two last games. He took care of the revenge game against the knicks. He had 28 last night against the Blazers. Man, listen, like you talked about, the team was constructed to help Luca. The role players have been stepping up like they supposed to, even when he was out helping Kyrie. If they can keep playing like this. We ain't said Clay name in a minute. Obviously, we know what's going on with that. But if they can figure that out and keep contributing like that, they're gonna be a problem in the west again.

[Tig]

What's the best part of Luka's offensive game?

[Bishop Hendricks]

His ability to create space. Like, he know how to create space. He know how to use his body so well, so he can always get to his step back. Cause he can create space. But then when he drives, he know how to use his body to create enough space where he can get any kind of shot off. Yeah, like, he's so slow and people still can't figure out, like, how does he score, how does he get bombed? He know how to use his body so well, create space and make contact at the rim. He a great finisher, but, like, he just got an overall game that's special. And it's all based off him being able to create space and pause.

[D.J. Wells]

He big as hell. Like, that makes it even worse. So he got all that. He know how to use his tempo. Like you said, use his body well, bro. You can't guard that.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I was starting when his rookie year, he was starting at the point. Wesley Matthews was at the 2, I think. But somehow I started the game off of him. The game started. I said, what the fuck? He went straight to the block. I'm like, no, this ain't gonna. Cause Dero switched. I like DeRose. I got him. I got me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't take that. He went to the post over here. D Rose was like, hey, man, hey. Somebody else got to guard him, man. I was like, what the fuck? Damn, he too big, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

That's crazy, bro. Yeah, Mads doing it like they supposed to. Spurs Security Kings yesterday. 127, 125. A lot of close games yesterday, man. Wimby, trippy dub with 34.

[Tig]

This shit.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Wendy, he's starting to round on his. He's starting to figure it out again.

[D.J. Wells]

The 11 assist part is what stood out for me. Obviously, I ain't numb till you getting 34 and 11, but 11 assists as a big. Yeah, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He's starting to figure it out. We gotta. We gotta. I gotta call my Kings guys. Man, I don't know what's going on, man.

[Tig]

That's getting 11 assists on that team. That's a hell of a game.

[Bishop Hendricks]

What you trying to say?

[D.J. Wells]

It's pool.

[Tig]

That's the mad ass over there.

[D.J. Wells]

No, I don't doing bad for real, bro. Yeah, they develop it for sure.

[Tig]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

All right, man. A couple games tonight, see how y'all feeling. He at Celtics. Where y'all going?

[Tig]

Damn, that's a good game.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He Heat. I had Celtics.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, Heat going with the Heat. Okay.

[Bishop Hendricks]

My Hawks been playing better too. What we in the. What? We in the east right now?

[D.J. Wells]

Probably 11. I got the Celtics, I got JT.

[Tig]

With a big game.

[D.J. Wells]

They bounced it back. He killed yesterday too, and we didn't need to talk about it. Slight 33 Pelicans at Hawks.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Woo. We seven seed in the east right now, man.

[Tig]

Hey, the east is. The east is spooky. I told y'all. I hate the east.

[D.J. Wells]

You are a 3k win streak from being out of the playoffs to top of your seed. It's kind of crazy.

[Tig]

That is wild.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Like, man, you know, we playing well right now. Joe Jalen Johnson doing what he do. Trey starting to. He always plays great. I mean, his stats are great, but they starting to round him to a cool team. Man, Dalen Johnson should be an All Star. He probably won't make it this year. Yeah, but he deserves to be.

[Tig]

He does.

[D.J. Wells]

He's getting numbers for sure. He hooping. So you taking the Hawks in this game for sure.

[Tig]

I got him, too.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Pelicans score 85 points.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I got the Hawks.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, and they went out last night.

[D.J. Wells]

Damn.

[Tig]

When I got Dejounte Murray in my damn parlay. He is.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, he about to go crazy, though. He played Hawks revenge game.

[Tig]

Yeah, I got him hot tonight.

[D.J. Wells]

Nets at Bulls.

[Tig]

Nets.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Nets. I'm talking with the Nets.

[D.J. Wells]

Lakers at Timberwolves.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Let's talk about them Timberwolves. Did we had a chance to talk about them? Tee, Wolves, Barbie.

[Tig]

What we got today?

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, y'all want to know why we suck? I tell you.

[Tig]

Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hey, he was wild.

[Tig]

I told y'all though that locker room, though, I figured that's what it was.

[D.J. Wells]

I figured Basketball.

[Tig]

Yeah. He don't. He miss Katt, bro. He misses the vibes.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Was different. I know because Katt allowed him to be him. They all knew each other. They all had years together. You know, they. That first year, Cat was. I mean, Ant came, they were sad. So they grew together. They all knew, got comfortable with one another. Everybody let Ant be the man.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It's different. Junior come over there, talk about it. We the man too. Now I can't try to solidify myself around here too.

[Tig]

Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

And Dante, you know, he ain't happy at all. I don't. I ain't talked to him, but just from the way he been playing, the way it looked, he ain't want to leave New York.

[Tig]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

So basically we need to go ahead and. You know what I'm saying, look, some other trade options because I don't think they want to take this year as a watch. And you can't have your starters grind on when your start talking like that. Changes got to get made. I don't know how soon, but. But something gotta change.

[Tig]

Yeah. Mike probably frustrated too.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Losing Kyle Anderson hurt them too.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He's another locker room guy, another good player for them.

[D.J. Wells]

Him and Nas was a really, really good front court to have for sure.

[Tig]

Yeah. Bust them up, bro. Pause, like, get the start over, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

That's kind of tough to go off a Western Conference finals trip to, you know what I'm saying? Making some would say almost an ill advised trade. So now it's like, all right, now those trade pieces that I got, I can't even move nowhere else.

[Tig]

Cause you gotta go out, you gotta thug it out the rest of the year.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh yeah, they do.

[Tig]

Hopefully they catch a stride for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But I'm saying they probably gonna catch a little momentum, I think. JR I don't think Julius Randle and Anthony Davis are the problem. I think they probably cool. They just probably don't play well together. But I think they probably cool off the court.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh yeah, for sure.

[Bishop Hendricks]

It's like all the other pieces, I think.

[D.J. Wells]

Sure. Listen, man, verify buckets be here who was getting to it yesterday.

[Tig]

Gotta give it to old school, man. I call him Jimmy Harden, man. 39, 11.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's a crazy name. Jimmy Hard.

[Tig]

Yeah, that's what I call him, man. Jimmy Harden, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, my fault.

[D.J. Wells]

Damn.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Hard. I didn't hear the Hardin. I would say that's. That's a. Interesting name.

[Tig]

Hey, and hold on. You know, shout out to the Verified Bucket. You know, we love that segment of the show, but have a. Something I want to say.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Okay. Yeah.

[Tig]

So the person who clipped me, Trey Songz and Diddy up and put that on the Internet and had us like, basically like the Hendricks experience. Birthday bash. You out of pocket, Tyrone Crow.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I think we know who did it, didn't we?

[Tig]

You out of pocket, brother?

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to Tyro. He out of pocket. That's A nasty pig stitch.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, bro.

[Tig]

They did me dirty.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But that's quality work right there. Somebody know the truth.

[Tig]

Chill out, bro. I'll never be in a room with them two niggas, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

He knows spirit. I'm gonna go old school. Fred Van Flee, man. 38. Peace. Show him why you good, bro?

[Bishop Hendricks]

I don't Fred like 31.

[Tig]

Not Fred Young.

[Bishop Hendricks]

He just look old.

[Tig]

He look like he been through a lot.

[Bishop Hendricks]

My verified bucket is to my guy out there in Canada up north, what they call it with the teens since Drake been down bad. RJ Barrett even picked it up. Shout out to RJ Barrett again. 37, no lawsuits.

[D.J. Wells]

I don't know how much he picked up for the team, but it was another fumble. Shout out to rj. He killed it for sure. Your favorite segment of the show.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Be here.

[D.J. Wells]

Who needs some encouragement this Monday morning? Get well soon, man.

[Tig]

For sure. It goes to Trevor Lawrence, bro. That was dirty.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, we not even gonna joke about that. Trevor Lawrence got killed yesterday. We talked about a little bit on the podcast. It's dropping today at 12. But Trevor Lawrence got smacked yesterday, bro.

[Tig]

If y'all playing football, is that y'all last day?

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh my mama. What health and safety protocols.

[D.J. Wells]

But we saw the CTE happen to him, bro. In live motion, bro. They're gonna go back and be like, this is where it happened, bro. This was the inception, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's some bullshit, dude.

[D.J. Wells]

That was a dirty ass hit, bro. I don't care nobody.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's a dirty ass hit pocket, bro. That was crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

And they started squabbling after that shit too. They was just like, hell no, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That was up. That's why I mean the cuss like that. But that was concerning.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. And especially in a sport like, you know what I'm saying? You chief show somebody at basketball. You gonna get up and play the next possession Football. That, bro, that's life altering type shit.

[Bishop Hendricks]

For real. Yeah, bro. Y'all ain't see Dud died from that black school and see me in the hospital. Everybody was saying he died.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, they put out that report.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, he said he don't like support.

[D.J. Wells]

Now, I'm not too sure if this is true or not, but I did believe that he did end up passing away unfortunately a couple days later. But they put that report out. Please fact check me on this. I'm not 100% correct. I don't wanna put no death on nobody who ain't gone. But they had put out that he was gone before he was gone, which was crazy.

[Bishop Hendricks]

But it came from football. Like it's a dangerous hit. And see shit like that you like, bro. You kill that, man.

[Tig]

Damn, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

You wilding, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, completely out of pocket, man.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's from. That's why my kids. Yeah, they gonna play. Hang on.

[D.J. Wells]

He did pass away. Yeah, unfortunately. For sure. But that's crazy. Like, did you put that out before the family? I can imagine a mix of emotions they had to deal with seeing that report. Especially with it being so ill advised. That's crazy, man. So Mikey boy goes to the Wizards. They didn't win the game in November. Free everybody. Free everybody, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

They smoke, they don't care. I know them hotel hallways is lit. Good weed, boy. All you hear is heels running down the highway.

[D.J. Wells]

It's crazy in D.C. home games Litty.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, the clubs are lit in D.C. right now.

[Tig]

Them niggas, man. Jordan Poole.

[D.J. Wells]

Free my dog, man.

[Tig]

Free J.P. yeah, man. Get them out of there, man. They might be the worst franchise in the NBA.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Oh, that's clear.

[Tig]

They might be the worst.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That's clear.

[Tig]

I thought it was Toronto, but they have been the worst team for a long time.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Wizards been bad, man. I don't think the Wizards had a good year since John Wallen done played us in. What was that? The Eastern Conference finals. Did we play John Wallen, though? No, no, the semis.

[D.J. Wells]

The semis. I guess they weren't in the conference finals, but yeah, they ain't been good since like maybe 17, 18. And that's why John Wall deserves all the respect that he gets as a legend in that city. Him and Brad Beal, but especially John Wall put a lot of buckets up. They had a lot of great season they was accustomed to. I know Gil had it going for second as well, but John Wall had the city lit. They was a 50 win team a couple times. And obviously it's hard to come by in that city for sure.

[Tig]

Best wizard ever, bro. Outside of mj.

[D.J. Wells]

Damn.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Who? John Wall. Yeah, yeah. I mean west on. So all that money I had that jersey. Yeah, he probably the greatest wizard.

[D.J. Wells]

You going John Wall over Gilbo.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, over Gil.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I think John Wall run longer.

[Tig]

Yeah, longer. Longer run interesting player. I'm a. It's tough. Both of them fast. I don't know. Give more dynamic. But I can't say that. Cause John Wall is special too.

[Bishop Hendricks]

John Wall give me John. I'm a.

[Tig]

As a wizard.

[Bishop Hendricks]

I think Wes Unto was the best wizard ever. Yeah. I'm gonna take John Wall second and then I'm gonna go with my dog Gil third.

[D.J. Wells]

How About a young Chris Weber.

[Tig]

Them look old than the. Just all them, man. Bernard king. Them was 20s, but R. King was 21 in that picture.

[Bishop Hendricks]

That dude look like he 46. I'm late. I'm Rachel. Nate Thurman. When he was 25, bruh, that nigga looked at 44.

[Tig]

It was them. It was them afros, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

It was the hairlines and the afros. I was wicked.

[Bishop Hendricks]

This nigga look.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, he just got off the planet. Pepsi job, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Pulled up the hoop. He is 25. Ain't no damn way.

[Tig]

70S was crazy. The fact that women used to rock them afros, too is nuts. Oh, that used to be a vibe.

[D.J. Wells]

[D.J. Wells]

Froze the Florida epis.

[Bishop Hendricks]

[Tig]

Damn. That's how it be, too.

[Bishop Hendricks]

[Tig]

Yeah, it ain't the same, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

There's some ugly people on that show. J.J. was ugly. I hope none of these people did, but all them was ugly.

[Tig]

Yeah, they was trash. That was a trash cast.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, bro.

[Bishop Hendricks]

The casting was telling. They was like, we go find the ugliest black people and put them on tv. This is what life looked like. We wasn't that ugly.

[Tig]

[Bishop Hendricks]

She is. But her. No, she kept changing her nose.

[Tig]

Yeah, she played with it too much.

[Bishop Hendricks]

Yeah, she would have kept her Nose after Nutty Professor. If she would have kept her nose from Nutty Professor. She was straight facts.

[Tig]

She's raw.

[Bishop Hendricks]

[D.J. Wells]
