Justin Jefferson
Good morning. Happy Tuesday. It's 5:20 in the morning. Your favorite sports show here to keep you updated. Everything sports related, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wills joined by my esteemed co host. To my left, I got my brother, Bishop Hendricks. To my right, Teague. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing today?
DJ Wills
Chilling, brother. Let's get to it, baby.
Bishop Hendricks
Hey, cool and nasty. Let's get to it.
Justin Jefferson
They started off, they said the copyright laws between days. They said you gonna sue him like Drake.
Bishop Hendricks
Who knew it be like this?
DJ Wills
What's up with y'all, boy? Drake, what are you on? What are you doing?
Justin Jefferson
Oh, man, that's. That's. That's a podcast question.
DJ Wills
Nah, it's bringing down his legacy. We here. Is it bringing down his legacy? Is that some ho ass shit?
Justin Jefferson
Some of people is always funny, but obviously this is a bigger play than some personal stuff. This is big business play. Probably above my pay grade to understand, to be honest to you.
DJ Wills
He's a hoe.
Justin Jefferson
Fuck all that.
DJ Wills
That's weak, bro. Just rap, bro. Get in the booth, bro.
Justin Jefferson
Like Lato said, get in the booth.
DJ Wills
Yeah, it's crazy, man. I hate he doing that, but whatever.
Justin Jefferson
Who knew it be like this? Hey, man, listen. Celtics back at full power. Porzigis returned last night and they beat the season off the Clippers by 32 yesterday. Came back with a smooth 16. Did y'all catch the game last night?
DJ Wills
I didn't catch that one, but damn, that's crazy.
Bishop Hendricks
Listen, man, I knew the vibes. I told y'all.
DJ Wills
You did.
Bishop Hendricks
But I did.
Justin Jefferson
Listen, man, we always knew that this was gonna happen and we knew that the Celtics already looked amazing. But him coming back last night with that team, man, ain't nobody want nothing to do with Boston right now, man. It's pretty evident at this point. Like, we gonna talk about how great they played. Cause they just keep finding ways to invent and make history and keep killing. And I ain't gonna say under the radar, but we talking about a lot more teams. If we talk about the Boston Celtics. And I guess is it just expected at this point since they're champions?
DJ Wills
I mean, they just. They the new Golden State warriors, bro. They about to go on another run like that.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, they going to go on a run. Hopefully they can go back to back three in a row, whatever. But they got the team to do it. I mean, getting Porzingis back, another rim protector, another shot maker. They shoot 53 is already a game, then you get another pro, another great shooter that can shoot it from deep pause. But like, they team just get better and better each day for sure.
Justin Jefferson
And listen, we talking about so many options that you have. Obviously we know who 1 and 2 is? Who would y'all say is the third option on that Celtics team? Or does it even matter?
DJ Wills
They probably don't. They don't even care, I don't think.
Bishop Hendricks
I mean, it can change every game. One day it can be Drew, one day Derrick White, now Peyton Pritchard's in the mix. And then another day it could be Porzingis. So then Al Horford, he comes out of nowhere and have big games, too. So they just got a well rounded team, man, with a bunch of guys that can make shots.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, man, that's one of them teams that just say, y'all don't need nothing. Y'all just gotta stay healthy. Like you said, get Porzingis back before Thanksgiving. Now he's well rested, know what I'm saying? Since he hadn't played since the Finals. But it's just crazy. Cause you look at this team yesterday, the second quarter, they go 12 from 17 from three. That's dangerous, bro. And you don't look at that team thinking that they're an elite three point shooting team, but realistically they are because they produce, man.
DJ Wills
Peyton Prichard, he's coming into the game just to do that.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, he's a sniper.
DJ Wills
Yeah.
Justin Jefferson
So they got all their role players can shoot, which is crazy, which is dangerous. I mean, it's today's formula. But they like executed that to a T. Shout out to Brad, man.
Bishop Hendricks
And what's crazy is like, I mean, injuries is part of the game, but they got so much talent and so many people that can play. If an injury, you know, happens, they got enough depth to be like, be able to cover. Like KD getting hurt for the Suns, hurt the Suns rail the season, Porzingis being out for Celtics. All right. You know what I mean?
DJ Wills
A lot of people low key, forgot he was on the squad.
Bishop Hendricks
Oh, my mama, bro.
DJ Wills
For real, people forgot he was on the team. So for him to come back to clap them like this, it's wicked.
Justin Jefferson
I mean, what's so crazy is like, you'll have spurs, you'd be like, dang, the Sussex is cold. And then you'll see somebody come in and kill one. Like you said, Peyton Pritchard come in, randomly, hit six threes one game, and next name, Sam House will go for seven. You be like, somebody gonna kill tonight. It don't even matter who it is, but they just gonna find a way to win, man.
Bishop Hendricks
They got too many pieces, bro.
Justin Jefferson
Man, listen, we talked about the Clippers, you know what I'm saying? They just ran into A great team. Harden still killed last night. 19, eight, nine, almost a trippy dub. Derrick White, another 19 piece. Man, it's just crazy. Like, they're going to do this to a lot more teams going forward, man. Is there anybody in the east right now you think could deal with them in the series?
Bishop Hendricks
No, not in the series. No.
Justin Jefferson
Okay, so who's the team in the east who could give them the best series?
Bishop Hendricks
Probably the Cavs. I think they fit for it. Like, they got enough people to play with them, you know, like the way they built. Evan Mobley can guard on a perimeter. Not most teams can do that like Giannis can, but Brook Lopez is a handicap.
Justin Jefferson
Okay.
Bishop Hendricks
He can't guard on the perimeter. Jared Allen can guard on the perimeter somewhat, but Evan Mobley is different. So he can guard Jalen Brown or Jason Tatum. And it's not like, what is he doing out there? Yeah, nobody else can do that.
Justin Jefferson
I was thinking that, too. I was star Paris. I wanted to say Milwaukee, because, you know, Giannis is a lot to deal with in the playoff series. Him and Dame can go win you a playoff game for sure. But like you said, the versatility on the wings is just different. And you need that for that team.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if Giannis can consistently guard.
Justin Jefferson
Just. I was just about to say that.
DJ Wills
Yo, I just literally about to say that. They too deep, bro. Ain't no team they damn near and wants to playoff, Star, bro. They might lose two games and we'll.
Justin Jefferson
Get to this team a little bit later. Do you think the Knicks could match up with them in the playoffs at all? Just from a personnel standpoint, since they kind of built that team to have enough wings to combat them?
DJ Wills
Nah, bro. The chemistry ain't there yet for the Knicks. The Knicks get it together, probably, but it's probably a wrap.
Bishop Hendricks
You know why? Cause Cat, if they start Porzingis, Cat gonna have to switch all ball screens. Cause Porzingis shoots all threes. And that cat got a guard. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Michelle, Derrick White.
Justin Jefferson
Put a bow on him. Yeah, Christmas tree. Yeah, and we know Katt like to foul, too. Yeah, for sure, man. Listen, more star power return. Ja's back, man. Came back yesterday for the team. 2211. Grizzly took care of the Blazers. 123, 98. Belt to ass. Listen, anytime Ja Morant plays basketball, you need to tap in. Cause his first game back, he already giving the highlights, man.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah, Ja, Ja Morantz, that guy, one.
Justin Jefferson
Of the most exciting players in the NBA, man.
Bishop Hendricks
Who more exciting, him or Lamelo? I know we ain't there yet, but just.
Justin Jefferson
You know what?
DJ Wills
That's not a bad question.
Justin Jefferson
It's not a bad question. I feel like the unfair part of that question is because Charlotte doesn't get as much exposure as Josh because we gonna talk about Lamelo a little bit later in the show. Lamelo be doing some shit.
Bishop Hendricks
How you doing?
Justin Jefferson
He be doing some OD basketball shit.
Bishop Hendricks
Like, the basketball fan step back is ridiculous, bro.
Justin Jefferson
That's. First of all, after he came off the screen on Goku Bataze, they dribbled like eight times in a row like NBA Street. And then the snatchback, one foot fadeaway three, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, that's crazy.
DJ Wills
Ja Moran just more athletic.
Justin Jefferson
Oh, yeah. I mean, Ja Moran's dunk last night was crazy.
DJ Wills
So, I mean, that helps a lot so far as the excitement conversation. But I'm taking Lamelo, and we ain't.
Justin Jefferson
Even get to the best highlight. The no look behind the back, you know what I'm saying?
Bishop Hendricks
In the paint. Yeah, that's crazy.
Justin Jefferson
We had a conversation on a pod about who was a better passer between Lamelo and Tyrese. Who a better pass between Jai? Lamelo.
DJ Wills
Lamelo.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah. Ja is like, Nah, that's Ja game highlights in passing, like dunking and passing. That's his game, bro.
DJ Wills
He can't pass the ball. Buried in Lamelo ball. Y'all wilding. Ja Moran is a hell of a point guard. I'm not disrespectful, but his eye is different, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah, that's what Jo do.
DJ Wills
Lamelo eye different, bro.
Justin Jefferson
I'm asleep now. I think the difference for me in the conversation is I've seen Ja have to create so much for his team and distribute. It may not always look as pretty as Lamelo's, but I've seen him had to distribute the ball just for them to get a chance to get buckets in the playoffs.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah, Ja different. He averaged 10 assists in college. Like, that's what made me like him as a player. Is that the way he get his team involved? Like, the athleticism? I didn't even think he was a, like, great scorer because he couldn't shoot. Really?
DJ Wills
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
And I was like, man, he was a good point guard. He can make plays. But he's so athletic.
DJ Wills
And I will that team for sure.
Bishop Hendricks
But his scoring developed more. You know what I mean? But his eye, his passing, that's what made him good.
DJ Wills
He's more important to his team than Lamelo. But so far as passion Nah, John can take over a game better than Lamelo. I thought Lamelo always looked score trash.
Bishop Hendricks
Always looked at LaMelo as a scorer. Like, ever since I ever heard of Lamelo, all he ever got was buckets. Yeah. 90 in high school.
DJ Wills
Yeah.
Justin Jefferson
Volleyball on threes. Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
But all I ever heard about him, I never heard about Pat because that.
DJ Wills
Superseded his passing ability. I mean, to the eye. But I really think, bro, he's the dynamic. I don't know what he's averaging for the year for assists, bro, but he one of the best point guards in the league for a reason, bro. And it's not just cause of scoring.
Bishop Hendricks
He definitely a capable passer, but it's a difference between, like, a passing point guard and a point guard that can pass. LaMelo a point guard that can pass.
Justin Jefferson
Cause he really a.
DJ Wills
You giving him James Harden.
Justin Jefferson
Like, I think he said Trae Young.
Bishop Hendricks
Like, Trae Young got a crazy eye. Like, he can pass, pass. But Lamelo more of a scorer that I can make two people guard me. I got enough skill to get two people to guard me, and I can find an open man.
DJ Wills
So you would throw him, like, in a Russell Westbrook or James Harden type. Yeah, he not. You gonna put Ja with, like, Chris Paul.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, Ja. They like that. Because you gotta think, like, Rondo, the best passer. Cause you gotta think people was guarding Rondo at the free throw line. Under the free throw line, kind of same thing they do with Ja Morant. They go under a lot.
DJ Wills
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
And they gotta navigate. Like, you seen that pass he threw last night? He gets stuck in the lane, he turned his right throw behind his back. They got. That's how they had to play because they were never known as scorers and shooters or whatever. But Lamelo always had a burner, like, since he was legit. So, you know, I mean, it's like Steph Curry effect. Like, I could shoot so good. So I get two people on me. I can make you close out. And now you at my mercy. And I'm a good enough player to throw dimes. Like, Lonzo had a better eye than Melo.
DJ Wills
Yeah, I give you that. I give you that. I like that breakdown. I roll with that.
Justin Jefferson
And the way the Hornets got. The Hornets have to win with Lamello scoring.
Bishop Hendricks
I mean, Jai, Obviously, he shot 30 shots last night.
Justin Jefferson
Like, he is. He has to score.
DJ Wills
These niggas only had 84, so.
Bishop Hendricks
Shit, I'm just saying.
DJ Wills
What y'all want me to.
Justin Jefferson
Now we gonna break. We gonna break that game down a little bit later.
Bishop Hendricks
But respect It. But I said, like, I'm a scorer. If you can shoot 30 times, you a scorer. That's. Not include free throws.
Justin Jefferson
Not include free throws at all. Before we get off this topic, man, the Grizzlies at full strength, Are they dangerous in the West? No, no. You. You know, the job factor ain't good enough to get a first round win.
DJ Wills
Look, I love Joe. I told y'all at the beginning of the season, he is the most important player to any team in the NBA, bro. What he does for that Memphis Grizzlies team, like, I don't know. When he's not there, bro. It's the Sunken Place, bro. So I just don't see them competing with the Dallas Mavericks or whoever else is up there. They can't beat the Denver Nuggets, bro. They fuck around. Good sweat.
Bishop Hendricks
I just. It's just hard for me to see them being healthy the whole year.
DJ Wills
Yeah.
Justin Jefferson
Cause we haven't seen it in a while.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah.
Justin Jefferson
And I'll ask, is there. What piece do they need to be contenders in the West?
DJ Wills
They need money, too. Like y'all just said. Porzingis leaving. We almost forgot. Porzingis alone. Celtics, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Straight up.
DJ Wills
There's nobody. And no we. Of course you can't replace Ja, but there's nobody to fill that void just a little bit until he get back. Like, if he's out for the season, they might be a lottery pick.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Justin Jefferson
You saw they got Zach Eddy off.
DJ Wills
The strength of him, but that's what I'm saying. So they need probably like two or three more players, bro. For real.
Justin Jefferson
I think Ja needs another all Star. I mean, you got Jaren Jackson Jr. Obviously, he's been in that situation. A really good, big, young talent in the league. But without Ja, though, I'm saying they need another wing like they need another all Star.
Bishop Hendricks
I can't even see another player that could be dynamic to be with them.
Justin Jefferson
Could they use a Cam Thomas, Somebody who could come off the bench and just get fgas up?
DJ Wills
They could use Zach Levine. They need somebody who can score, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. I wouldn't be mad. That's a good point.
Justin Jefferson
Zach Levine ain't a bad situation for them. Now, that's interesting. We'll look on that subject for sure.
DJ Wills
They need somebody who can score the ball when Ja out. Like y'all said, he draws the defense so much, you in the NBA, bro. So if I pass to you, bro, I'm. Hopefully you'll make this motherfucker. But he needs somebody to take over the game like Jon. Let me see it, bro. Take a rest. You know what I'm saying? I got it, bro. Sit down.
Justin Jefferson
I can carry the third quarter. Get your rest in the fourth. Yeah, that's interesting, for sure. Hey, man, the Knicks beat the sleeves off the Nuggets last night. 145, 118. OG Anunoby 40 points, man. Fresh off the Big Three conversation. We slided and we showed us.
DJ Wills
Hey, I wonder why the Africans was in my DMs. I didn't know that.
Justin Jefferson
Oh, cause of OG yeah, OG I thought it was Doordash comment. I ain't know it was OG they.
DJ Wills
Was just like, be here. Why don't you tap in with OG my fault. I'm out of pocket.
Justin Jefferson
OG had a 40 ball yesterday, went crazy, Cat. 30 and 15. He went 12, 15 from the field.
Bishop Hendricks
Goals.
Justin Jefferson
Jalen Brunson, 23 and 17. We slotted that big three yesterday. They put the belt of ass to Nuggets last night, man.
DJ Wills
Cat is cold.
Justin Jefferson
Katt be killing, man.
Bishop Hendricks
I say it all the time. One of the toughest players I ever played with is just his voice, bro. That's it.
DJ Wills
That is crazy, bro.
Justin Jefferson
30 on 15, man.
DJ Wills
Is Cat in shape or out of shape?
Bishop Hendricks
He looked like he in shape.
DJ Wills
Cat bill crazy, bro.
Justin Jefferson
That's crazy.
DJ Wills
Nah, but he really be killing, bro. He's super, super efficient.
Bishop Hendricks
For sure, bro.
DJ Wills
Damn.
Justin Jefferson
I mean, Joker had a light night having 2277, you know, bad night for him. But shout out to Russ Russell, man. He made hit. Yeah, it's crazy to joke his light night is 2277. Was dream for them career averages, right? But show some love to Russ, man. He went crazy yesterday in the fourth at 24 points, man. Only two other people have done that over the age of 36. That's MJ and Jamal Crawford, man.
DJ Wills
All right. Russ special. I know he for him, he a winner, bro. I don't think he. He probably don't give a damn the way they got smacked. He just out there hooping.
Justin Jefferson
Hey, I still. Hey, listen, man. The Lakers years, the way they disrespected him, bro, for him to go kill like he did yesterday, I'm happy just to have them moments for Russell Westbrook, bro. Respecting him. Accolades, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Y'all see the video where he was saying AD Was soft?
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, he was talking crazy.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, he was talking crazy.
DJ Wills
He a winner, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
I like that. I told y'all, I don't be making this. I don't be making it up. That's how Westbrook talk, bruh. I believe he goes crazy, bro.
DJ Wills
I believe it.
Justin Jefferson
Remember that game where they. I think it was one of the first games they played Golden State, where KD was there, that's getting smacked. And he was still talking shit. Like, in the third quarter, he was like, I'm still coming. Pause. He was just like, bro, look at the scoreboard. We 31, y'all. He's like, nah, bro, I'm still killing y'all. Rush just on that.
Bishop Hendricks
No, ma, all the time.
DJ Wills
That probably fueling the play, though.
Justin Jefferson
Hell, yeah. But I think what's dope about it is everybody talks about him off the court, too. They like, yeah, on the court, Russ going to compete, he's a great teammate. But off the court, he a solid one. And I think that's universal. Around, like you said, he takes the game seriously. But off the court, he a real one, too.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, I heard good things about him. For sure.
Justin Jefferson
For sure, man, look, Knicks, five of the last six, man, they getting dubs. They catching some chemistry. What's going on?
Bishop Hendricks
They trying to figure it out. I see Getting a roll win in Denver is so tough because of all the sacrifices you gotta make. Like, the day before you gotta go run in Denver, like, you gotta go to the court in, like, real life, sprint. Because the altitude. So you gotta, like, try to catch your breath and all that stuff the day before. And, like, that's not normal for an NBA player to go run sprints and stuff the day before a game.
Justin Jefferson
Damn.
Bishop Hendricks
But you gotta do that in Denver.
DJ Wills
Damn, this game. I never knew that.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, they talk about the altitude defeat. People, like, playing in Denver on a back to back is crazy.
DJ Wills
I heard about that part. I'm just saying, this nigga talking about you gotta. You say, nah, you do.
Bishop Hendricks
You gotta. Gotta try to, like, catch your win. Cause I swear, like, Hakeem Olajuwon couldn't even play there.
DJ Wills
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
Like, he had to sit out games there cause he couldn't catch his breath. But, like, the day before, they tell you, man, that they called this little man. This little man gonna hop on your. On your hip, bro, and you ain't gonna be able to breathe. And I ain't believe it the first time I played there. But that first game, I tried to go out there where I was huffing and puffing, couldn't catch my breath in the first quarter, but, like, nine minutes on the clock, I'm like, I need a sub. They like, yeah, I told you, brother. Sprint day before.
DJ Wills
So damn.
Bishop Hendricks
And it's kind of tough to sleep there too.
Justin Jefferson
Damn.
Bishop Hendricks
Like, don't be a fat. Like a heavier set, dude.
DJ Wills
Damn, Hennessy, don't send us to Denver.

Bishop Hendricks
For real, bro. That's too different, bro.
Justin Jefferson
The real home quarter, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
I swear, bro, that's why they used to smack people in the first quarter, bro.
Justin Jefferson
You'd be tired, bro, if you ain't tired, boy. They had the loud up there. So between both of them boys is in there taking Ls in Denver, boy.
DJ Wills
Ls, bro, that's crazy.
Bishop Hendricks
What's crazy, though, is not to do that. But like, one of the guys that played for Denver for a long time told me they'll play home games and then when they Went on the road, they'd get used to, like our altitude. Right. You on a five game road trip. Then when they go back home, they gotta get back used to that again. So they'd be like dead tired. I was like, damn, that's crazy. Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm like, damn.
Justin Jefferson
So we gotta show more respect to Yoke. Cause Yoke is up there killing. You know what I'm saying? With a disadvantage. Low key.
DJ Wills
Yeah. Cause he's definitely not in that shape.
Justin Jefferson
More shame or Cap.
Bishop Hendricks
He probably in the best shape though now as he play up there. Like Kobe and them used to go training at altitude in the summer.
Justin Jefferson
Damn, boy, that's tough. All right, I'm gonna ask y'all to rank these Eastern Conference teams. We got the Bucs, the Cavs, the Celtics, and the Knicks, who at four.
DJ Wills
Bucks.
Justin Jefferson
Bucks at four, who we got at three? Knicks.
Bishop Hendricks
Cavs.
Justin Jefferson
Cavs two.
Bishop Hendricks
Su.
Justin Jefferson
Okay, now of those outside of taking the Celtics out, who you think will win between the Knicks and the Cavs in the series?
DJ Wills
Cavs.
Justin Jefferson
Are they on? Cavs.
Bishop Hendricks
I'm going to say. I'm going to say the Knicks because I think that's a better matchup for the Knicks.
DJ Wills
Break it down. Nasty.
Bishop Hendricks
I think they match up well because like you said, they got wings and stuff like that, but like the Knicks got Cat. Yeah. Like he's a definite 30 points. Yeah.
Justin Jefferson
And Jared Allen coming out that paint. Guard cat for sure.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. Jared Allen got a guard cat. It's different than guarding Porzingis.
DJ Wills
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
Like Porzingis is a stretch five. He gonna get 15, 16 points. Cat getting 40 in and out. Yeah. You know what I mean? He going to the three, the block. Then you got Jalen Brunson, who's a little different than the Celtics. Like, he's a point guard, dominate the ball. You got a guard pick and roll all the time. You can't switch Darius Garland on Katt or OG and an obi, blah, blah, blah. But with the Celtics, he can kind of hide a little bit. Cause of Drew and Derrick White, they kind of more of his size. Like, you know, he can guard them. But the Knicks is a little different. Jalen Brunson post up, he plays super aggressive.
Justin Jefferson
Ain't gonna get you in foul trouble too.
Bishop Hendricks
And then OG and Anobi's 6, 9, 6, 8. Mikel Bridges, 6, 8. They got big wings that are a little more paint driven. I would say. Boston Celtics shoot with a lot of threes. Yeah.
Justin Jefferson
So a little bit easier for them to go high on the wing and switch off and fade to the corner. Cause you know how they go with JT and jb. Yeah. I think the one thing that people are interested about the Cavs is like, yeah, early success. Everybody rocking with it. They're like, are they gonna be that one team that has a great regular season, but they get in the playoffs and realize, all right, y'all played out y'all mind, but when it comes down to matchups, y'all can't really just beat this team.
Bishop Hendricks
They trying to say that. 2015, the Hux.
Justin Jefferson
Oh, we made to.
Bishop Hendricks
These are cowards fighting.
DJ Wills
I just.
Justin Jefferson
I wasn't gonna put that one on y'all. Y'all killed differently than them. Y'all was whooping shit, bro. I ain't gonna put them allegations on them yet.
DJ Wills
No, they was, too. The Cavs were, too, but I just think. I don't know, man.
Bishop Hendricks
We ran into Bron, though.
Justin Jefferson
I gotta say. They killed the whole season, too. I gotta show some love.
Bishop Hendricks
And we ran into Bron. Yeah. LeBron different that Bron.
DJ Wills
Yeah.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah. They keep putting up the J.R. smith clips in the game for y'all. We'll talk about that on the podcast one day. But that's last but not least, the Nuggets is they tied up with no clothes, man. Do they need to make another addition or they just need to get to the playoffs?
DJ Wills
That'd be cool, bro. Let's get them to the playoffs.
Justin Jefferson
Okay, I seen.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, go ahead. I think losing Caldwell Pope hurt them, though. Like, that chemistry that they had, I think it might just, you know, they might have run they course now, bro. I hear. What's my boy Murray saying? Like, they ain't focused and stuff like that. Like, spending days in la.
Justin Jefferson
Oh, Jamal Murray on that.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah, he said that. He was like. When they got blown out, he was like, man, we not even focused, bro. We stayed an extra day in LA after beating them. We ain't focused. And when you start hearing stuff like that, maybe a light of fire under your team a little bit, like, let's lock in. Yeah, but that's just chemistry, like. Or. You know what I mean? Stuff that they don't.
DJ Wills
Staying an extra day in LA is crazy.
Justin Jefferson
It's sometimes necessary. We talk about the home court and different, man. Sometimes la. Undefeated, too.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, but that's crazy that he said.
Justin Jefferson
That the way that he started this season. Obviously, somebody responded to that.
Bishop Hendricks
That's what I'm saying.
Justin Jefferson
Like, And PJ gonna come out by it. We been locked in, Phil.
DJ Wills
I hope that locker room ain't breaking down. Cause that don't matter.
Justin Jefferson
I doubt. Especially with the type of coach they got, bro. I imagine it's probably all still intact.
Bishop Hendricks
I think he just trying to light a fire under his team. Like, let's get rolling. Cause we better than this.
Justin Jefferson
Well be better than that. Jamal Murray, cover these parlays. You've been playing in my face all season, bro. You got these interviews.
DJ Wills
Josh Hart told y'all yesterday on Twitter he does not care about y'all parlays.
Justin Jefferson
Well, if you're taking anything the over on Josh Hart, then you probably need to call the number in the hotline.
DJ Wills
He was speaking for the NBA.
Justin Jefferson
No, no, we speak about him. Take the unders.
Bishop Hendricks
I've taken the over on his rebound.
Justin Jefferson
So now you now Kat there now. Oh, I forgot. Kat go off.
Bishop Hendricks
Take the under. Yeah, yeah, take the under. Can't get all the rebounds for sure, man.
Justin Jefferson
The Thunder took care of the kings yesterday. Won 3109, SGA 37 and 11.
DJ Wills
Nah, that's light. Light day.
Bishop Hendricks
He is crazy, bro.
DJ Wills
Light day.
Justin Jefferson
The new J Will 2085, man. He all star balling him, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
I swear.
Justin Jefferson
He gonna keep playing like this. He gonna have to get in the All Star game, man.
Bishop Hendricks
He is an all star.
Justin Jefferson
Okay.
Bishop Hendricks
Talk about it all start team. You're gonna get paid like one.
Justin Jefferson
Jalen Williams killing right now.
DJ Wills
Yeah, pay him like one.
Justin Jefferson
22. 6 and 5.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, that's awesome.
Justin Jefferson
ASG, bro. Show love. Isaiah Hardstein do what he do best. 19 and 10. Demar DeRozan killed yesterday. 30 and 6.
Bishop Hendricks
But man, the Kings struggling.
Justin Jefferson
Kings are struggling, man.
Bishop Hendricks
They.
Justin Jefferson
You know what I'm saying? They'd been losing a couple, but if Isaiah Heartstop gonna do this, imagine what they're gonna do when Chet get back. They're gonna dominate the paint, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
I gotta see how they play together, though. I have to see.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, you can stagger them.
DJ Wills
It's a scary ass team.
Bishop Hendricks
The thing I like about OKC coach though, he said he don't got a set starting lineup. So he said, I'll start anybody. Like I might start Hardenstein Wittchet. I might not. It don't matter. Like whatever the game say.
DJ Wills
Yeah. If everybody on the same court, bro, that's a scary team. They damn near just as deep as Boston.
Justin Jefferson
Hmm, that's interesting.
Bishop Hendricks
They are though. I don't know.
DJ Wills
Indeed, bro. That's a deep team. Hey, eight, man. Eight.
Bishop Hendricks
Nine, man, in they match up. I ain't gonna say they match. They do match up well. Cause Luke Dorri Start making threes. Yeah, he's shooting high three now.
DJ Wills
Yeah, he can guard.
Justin Jefferson
Caruso is Caruso. I mean, he ain't Drew, but you know what I'm saying. That type of. More of a Derrick White type role.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, similar.
DJ Wills
I'm telling y'all, that's.
Bishop Hendricks
But Jalen Williams is more of a Derrick White. Like, he get blocked.
DJ Wills
That's a fact.
Bishop Hendricks
He do a little bit. I think he a better. I ain't gonna say a better player. I like Jalen Williams more, but they very similar of a player. Yeah.
Justin Jefferson
Only thing that's hard with the Celtics mode is that you got two elite wings like that with JB and jt. Because even though you got sga, who's probably one of the best guards in NBA, should be the mvp, hopefully. You know what I'm saying? He can get it this year. But that wing situation different when you got to go between them two.
Bishop Hendricks
But they got two elite wins, Jalen and sga.
Justin Jefferson
Well, if you count him as a guard, but I'm not. But if you're saying wisdy, I agree for sure.
DJ Wills
Then Ch cold, y'all.
Bishop Hendricks
I'm rolling.
DJ Wills
I know y'all not saying he sad, but he cold.
Justin Jefferson
They front court, I think, is definitely in comparison with them for sure.
Bishop Hendricks
But who. If chet played a five, cool. Then Jalen at the four. Like Jalen can match up with J.T.
DJ Wills
Shay can match.
Bishop Hendricks
Huh?
DJ Wills
Al Horford can't play if Chad is at the 5.
Bishop Hendricks
Why not?
DJ Wills
You can't guard him.
Bishop Hendricks
Oh, that's what Al Horford do.
Justin Jefferson
That might be a tough one.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Justin Jefferson
I think the chess cooking him for sure.
DJ Wills
But he is, bro.
Justin Jefferson
But I've just seen Al Horford compete in situations where I'm doubting disrespect, bro. No, no.
Bishop Hendricks
We were.
Justin Jefferson
It's a great conversation, but after what he did to the Patriots last year, I'm not doubting out Hofer. This is my ptsd.
Bishop Hendricks
That's what he's doing. He's going.
DJ Wills
That's Jeff Mann's for sure.
Bishop Hendricks
It ain't because of that.
DJ Wills
No, I'm not saying. I'm just saying I don't want nobody to feel like I'm sliding. It's just different. Chet is different.
Justin Jefferson
But Chet's supposed to be able to cook him.
Bishop Hendricks
But I'm cool with Chet trying to go L.L. horford, you take away him like SGA, having a rock going out. Cool. That's fine.
DJ Wills
I would love to see that matchup.
Bishop Hendricks
But it gets spooky. After that, like, it gets spooky. Like hou guard. Like Lou Dork can guard Drew or. But Lou Dork going to be on Jayson Tatum.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, you have to. Yeah.
DJ Wills
That's a whole.
Bishop Hendricks
Then Jalen Williams going to be on Jalen Brown.
DJ Wills
It depend on who hot. That might be a game.
Bishop Hendricks
That depends on who that Derrick White and that. That Derrick White and jrue holiday matchup where it get kind of spooky. Like if you got.
DJ Wills
Yeah, that's what I'm scared of.
Bishop Hendricks
Isaiah Joe on jrue holiday cook session.
Justin Jefferson
Oh, yeah. It's going to have to be Caruso for sure. If y'all got.
Bishop Hendricks
What's this? Carson or Carson Wallace? Yeah, it get kind of spooky right there. That's when it start getting weird. Cause they 4th and 5th option are all stars. The Celtics.
Justin Jefferson
Olympians.
Bishop Hendricks
Olympians.
Justin Jefferson
They just have a crazy ass. It's hard to compare them to anybody else. They team Damon are not really.
DJ Wills
I was just thinking that was the closest thing to them.
Bishop Hendricks
And then like Drew.
DJ Wills
Drew fuck around. Hit you for a 30 on accident.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, bro. He gonna run off three threes in the third, bro. And blow the whole game up.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, my bad.
DJ Wills
Wycliffe. I forgot about you.
Bishop Hendricks
Okay. 405th option are like really good, solid players. We Olympians and all stars. About 400%. Yeah. It's just not Celtics. We still here. What they say in the beam, once you a Celtic, you always a Celtic.
Justin Jefferson
Shout out to Bill Simmons.
DJ Wills
Who said that?
Justin Jefferson
I don't know.
Bishop Hendricks
That's what they said in the bean. They told me.
Justin Jefferson
I respect.
Bishop Hendricks
Once you're a Celtic, you.
DJ Wills
I was a Celtic. Oh, yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
45 is good for life.
Justin Jefferson
Shout out to E. Will.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah, nah. What.
Justin Jefferson
What do Thunder need to do to compete in the west, man? Just stay healthy. Yeah, yeah.
DJ Wills
They'd be cool. They cool out there, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. Get help.
Justin Jefferson
You sign like John Morant. We cool in the West.
DJ Wills
Yeah. No, no, they are, bro. They gonna make the playoffs.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, they got.
Justin Jefferson
Oh, no, for sure. I mean, they expect to be a top seed.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. They can get Shaq back and Chet, whatever his name is when they get him back. I like to see that whole dynamic. Okay. But I think they're good, though. With Hardenstein playing like he's playing. They good.
Justin Jefferson
I'm a double machine with the Kings. We expected a little bit different results this year with Demar. They start off solid, but they ain't been as good as late. What the Kings need to do.

Hi Ally IPA. What's Poppin? Justin Jefferson here?
DJ Wills
Football is a lot of explosions, a.
Justin Jefferson
Lot of energy and attitude. It's a whole different vibe with these open earbuds. It's like you're in the moment, but also you can hear everything around you. You can be involved. To have good sound and to be so light on your ear means a lot to me. Putting that music into my ears. You feel good enough to go out there and play, you turn on that switch, which no one can stop you. For more, check out bo.com.
Bishop Hendricks
They got too much of the same position. And Malik Monk been out too though.
Justin Jefferson
But like, I haven't had Malik Monk cause Ken Ellis been playing a lot of minutes.
Bishop Hendricks
But. Yeah, but I just feel like Demar and Keegan Murray. Yeah, it's like they all like these wings.
DJ Wills
Yeah, Keegan, I don't like Keegan Murray with Demar. Keegan Murray cold though, but I feel like they don't know when to let the other one shine for real.
Bishop Hendricks
I mean, Deebo is more of a scorer. He can facilitate too. And De'Aaron Fox gonna get buckets too. I just think the. It's like a whole bunch of scorers on one team with no, like set roles. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, when Malik Monk get back, he coming in and get buckets. Kevin Herder, he want to get buckets. It's like a whole bunch of wings. And they all shooting guards.
DJ Wills
Yeah, that's right.
Bishop Hendricks
And just like. And then you got a scoring point guard. It's just like a weird blend.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, they gotta mix it up a little bit, man.
Bishop Hendricks
I think they need less is more like if they just had. I could see that DeMar DeRozan and De'Aaron Fox and then they just had like. Keegan Murphy is a good player, but he's a Catch and shoot type of guy that matches Sabonus and somebody else. Another catch and shoot, then they might have a different team. But when you got Kevin Herder, he's a catch and shoot player. He can shoot, but I play with Kev. He want the ball. He want to run pick and rolls. He want to be the guy. Then you got Malink Monk. Shit, he a guy too.
Justin Jefferson
He got paid to be the guy.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. Yeah. So it's just a weird blend.
Justin Jefferson
For sure, man. Yeah. Say my boy gotta get back healthy. But get well soon. Kings, man. Yeah, it's all good. Listen, man, we got a couple good games going on tonight. Start off with the Lakers and Suns. Now KD without Brad, Bill, man, what they gonna do?
Bishop Hendricks
I think they back.
DJ Wills
KD played tonight.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah. Oh, he playing tonight.
DJ Wills
Yes.
Justin Jefferson
Okay.

DJ Wills
Oh, yeah. They smacking the Lakers tonight.
Justin Jefferson
Oh, okay. Yeah, Lakers on a two game losing streak too.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take the Suns. Kd third time's a charm.
Justin Jefferson
Said he was looking good in practice.
Bishop Hendricks
So I'm gonna go with KD 30 piece tonight.
Justin Jefferson
Okay. So that's gonna be in the Behem parlay today to crash out.
DJ Wills
Parlay? Yeah, KD with a 30 piece tonight for sure.
Justin Jefferson
All right, so who getting the dub tonight?
DJ Wills
I'm going with sons, there's no question.
Bishop Hendricks
My boy Bud looking. Oh, he's stressed out out there in Phoenix. I thought the weather was better.
DJ Wills
Bud on the Marls.
Justin Jefferson
Bud looking like he be brown boy water out there.
DJ Wills
Why they do Bud like that? I could have gave Bud a dad cap to throw on, man.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, my man looking like they ain't that old, man, I'mma text you, man, make sure everything all right out there, man.
DJ Wills
Stressing him out. All they want to do is smoke weed.
Justin Jefferson
It ain't a lot to do with Phoenix, though. Shout out to Phoenix last night's game.
Bishop Hendricks
Liz.
Justin Jefferson
We talked about a little bit earlier, but the Magic beat the Hornets 95 to 84. Browns was killing. He had 21, LaMelo had 44, nine seven and B Mill had 20. They had 64 of the points. 84 last night.
DJ Wills
That's wicked, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
I told you, you can't score 100 points, bro. You're going to lose.
Justin Jefferson
You can't score 90. What is it?
Bishop Hendricks
You suck at this point. You trash. You can't score up 90 points in this NBA at 48 minutes.
DJ Wills
That's tough.
Justin Jefferson
And what's crazy is People were just like, why would Lamelo shoot that shot? He had 44. He can shoot whatever he want to shoot. If he's the only person scoring like this, don't ever ask me why I'm shooting this shot.
Bishop Hendricks
What shot?
Justin Jefferson
Oh, that highlight the topic?
DJ Wills
Yeah, he just don't get Lamelo in Australia right now.
Justin Jefferson
He went back.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, he shot 30 times last night.
DJ Wills
It's Chino Hills, bro. That's how he who brought him left.
Bishop Hendricks
17 for 30 ain't bad either.
Justin Jefferson
Damn. 44.
DJ Wills
Yeah, it's a good day.
Bishop Hendricks
That's a great day. But damn, the confidence to shoot 30 shots.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
How many assists he had?
Justin Jefferson
Seven. So that means all of them probably went to B mill.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, that's crazy. Them too. They out there having fun.
DJ Wills
I like that, bro.
Justin Jefferson
Hey, you ball. Work on your stats, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
It don't matter I like that one at all.
Justin Jefferson
The Pistons took care of the rappers yesterday. 102 to 100. Jaden Ivey. You know what I'm saying? Got the call 258 yesterday with the game winner.
Bishop Hendricks
That was tough shout out to them Detroit boys. I told you, I'm a fan. Glad to see Tim Hardaway back out there walking, boy. Yeah, we thought it was over with.
Justin Jefferson
He caught a couple people's elbow one game. We thought it was over for Tim. Glad he bounced back.
Bishop Hendricks
Facts. But Jay Knivy is a player, man. He having a great year. Yeah, Cade Cunningham was out. He stepped up. Hit the game with him. Shout out to him. What you calling, boys?
DJ Wills
Counted Jay Nivy out, man.
Bishop Hendricks
What you call Jay Nivy?
DJ Wills
Oh, the pastor Kirk Franklin. That's choir boy from five Heartbeat on everything.
Justin Jefferson
We call him an evangelist.
DJ Wills
That's why. That's why Jay not even got baptized and turned up.
Justin Jefferson
Hey, that's fire. The real rebrand.
DJ Wills
Nah, for sure though, man. He people. A lot of people counting him out, bro.
Justin Jefferson
Man, what was the coach who got fired last year? I can't think of his name right now.
DJ Wills
That was Sidney.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah. I can't think of his name. He came from Phoenix.
Bishop Hendricks
Money Williams, bro.
Justin Jefferson
Money Williams almost messed his career, bro. He playing in his face, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Played Keely and Hayes story.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, Monty, listen, bro, we know you was trying to get that last check and bounce back, bro, but you always mess up his career, bro.
DJ Wills
Nah, dead ass, bro. Playing that. What's that boy name? Killian Hayes. Nothing all over Jaden Ivy, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Nothing on Keelian Hayes ever playing. No shade, bro. I'm just telling you, bro. I played against him. I said he is not an NBA player. I'm not hating, bro.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
I was like, nah, bro. It's especially not with Jay and Ivy on the bench.
DJ Wills
Nah, facts. So to see him get his shot, bro, that's. That's what's up, bro. You got. You got blessed.
Justin Jefferson
And it was fire. He had to film me there, too, to get the game winner. That's fire, bro. Shout out to Indiana for sure. Patriots took care of pelicans yesterday. 114 to 110. Halliburton. We back my boy 34 and 13. Something slight.
Bishop Hendricks
There you go.
Justin Jefferson
I gotta show some love to Alfred Payton, man. You know what I'm saying? He wasn't on the roster since 2022. He came back last week. Cause you know the Pelicans, they need all the help they can get. My boy was killing yesterday, man. 14, 7, 21 assists, man.
Bishop Hendricks
That's amazing.
Justin Jefferson
Second most of the franchise behind Rondo, man.
Bishop Hendricks
Shout out to that man, Bro, man.
DJ Wills
Yeah, I almost lost to the Pelicans, bro.
Justin Jefferson
We smoked that game, too. We was up big, too, and almost smoked that game, too.
Bishop Hendricks
I like how he kept being persistent, though. Cause if I ain't been on the roster since 2022, yeah, I probably would. Probably would've went overseas or something. So him to keep being persistent. I'm guessing he was doing the G League and stuff.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, he was a mad at, too, which made it funny. He was in Fort Wayne last year for the Pacers. And then. So, hey, listen, being ready, bro. Taking the opportunity, man. We talked about, like, campaign and stuff a couple years back. He was at the crib. Ended up going on to. You know what I'm saying, Playing in the playoffs. Hey, be ready when your name is called, man.
Bishop Hendricks
We definitely gonna be. Probably gonna stay with them for the remainder of the season, bro.
Justin Jefferson
He getting 21 6, bro. Ain't no way you can cut me for Jose Alvarado. Come back like, no disrespect, but damn, bro, I'm getting 21 assists.
Bishop Hendricks
That ain't.
Justin Jefferson
You know what I'm saying? That ain't easy, Jose.
DJ Wills
Better than him, though.
Justin Jefferson
I ain't saying he ain't, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
Cap. Oh, Cap.
DJ Wills
Yeah, he is.
Bishop Hendricks
No, he's not. I swear he ain't. Jennifer Payton was the number 10 pick for a reason.
DJ Wills
Respect.
Bishop Hendricks
He's the top 10 pick for a reason.
DJ Wills
Respect, bro. Respect the number that you win in the draft, bro. I'm asleep.
Bishop Hendricks
Will Alvarado do? Better than him.
Justin Jefferson
I look at his stats since he been back with the Pelicans. Go back Please. I think he only played two or three games.
DJ Wills
Will Alvarado do better than him play basketball, bro?
Justin Jefferson
9, 5 and 11.
DJ Wills
Keep killing though, bro. Get that check. Get that extendo, bro. On that check, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
And he guard just as good as Alvarado. And I ain't hating. I don't. I mean none of them name my niggas, but I just watched basketball and I seen him play. Alvarado became a fan favorite because of that swiper still and getting hyped and stuff. And he can hoop. Not hating. He can hoop.
DJ Wills
We love an energy guy.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, he a straight energy guy.
Justin Jefferson
Don't start.
Bishop Hendricks
He a straight energy guy.
Justin Jefferson
Energy guard too big. He energy guard.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, energy guard. For real. You know he got that TJ McConnell. Not as good as TJ, but he got that TJ McConnell.
Justin Jefferson
I said don't disrespect TJ Nash like that.
Bishop Hendricks
But Ophrah Payton got that too though. And you seen it last night.
Justin Jefferson
Nah, he was killing yesterday.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
Justin Jefferson
Trey Murphy came back even though we didn't know when we recorded yesterday. Smooth 24th piece, CJ McCollum. Listen, Tyrese, two good games in a row. Keep it going, my boy.
Bishop Hendricks
Play the hoop, Tyrese.
Justin Jefferson
We need it, man. We need it. Cause everybody else in the NBA coming back except for the players on our team. But guys, this is good.
DJ Wills
Tubi win for the Patriots. No cap.
Justin Jefferson
For sure. We was on true TV last night. The master carrier Hawks yesterday, 129 to 119. Kyrie went crazy.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, I told y'all what needed to happen for them to be a good team though. And it happened.
Justin Jefferson
Facts. Everything that you said for the team to be successful yesterday was fully into fruition. Yesterday you had a group performance. Everybody shot. Jaden Hardy took the opportunity to the fullest and kill yesterday. Auto road players took care of double digit situation. Kyrie took him home in the second half, man.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, I told you Spencer Dinwiddie had to step up.
Justin Jefferson
You did say that.
Bishop Hendricks
And he for him to be contributed.
Justin Jefferson
Last night for sure.
Bishop Hendricks
He had a big game last night. He was struggling all year. For him to bounce back. Having a moment, he just had to get comfortable. You know, he ain't played much this year. Not having a chance to have the ball in his hand a little more. With Luka being out, he stepped up. They got a big win in Atlanta. They threw a party afterwards.
DJ Wills
Shout out to Jaylon Johnson though.
Justin Jefferson
Killing. And he's in the new world. Atlanta Nike commercial. I've seen that too. Like you Said Trey Young had 18 and 16 yesterday. Jaylen Johnson 28 and 11. Even though the Hawks ain't winning all these games, they do look like they have before playing basketball.
Bishop Hendricks
They do. And my bad. I ain't hit you back about that commercial. Oh, shit, my fault, my fault.
Justin Jefferson
Nike still on the table. Yeah, they seen the Under Armor ad. It was like, ah, this nigga.
DJ Wills
If this nigga is taking an Under Armour call, he ain't ignoring no motherfucking Nike call. So I want y'all to know that, right?
Bishop Hendricks
Goddamn New Balance. New Balance.
DJ Wills
I want y'all to know that.
Bishop Hendricks
Now, New Balance had called me.
DJ Wills
Nah, he caught that as some type of fundraiser.
Bishop Hendricks
Kawhi had called Scene without. Dude, like. I know.
Justin Jefferson
Quiet call. He don't even got no phone.
Bishop Hendricks
Listen.
Justin Jefferson
By Jay. Sorry, he ain't got Internet.
DJ Wills
Oh, shit.
Justin Jefferson
We were all wrong yesterday.
DJ Wills
No, I wasn't.
Justin Jefferson
Oh, excuse you. Except behead the warriors hater. The next secured warriors yesterday, 128 to 120. Then this Schroeder looking like it's 2015 again, man. 31 7. Camp Thomas had 23.
Bishop Hendricks
Damn. 2015, he was on the bench.
DJ Wills
Listen, damn it. That's crazy.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah, Dennis been killing, though. He having a hell of a year now. I ain't being funny. I've been saying this.
Justin Jefferson
You have, though. He.
Bishop Hendricks
I hate that it's probably going to happen, but he probably going to get.
Justin Jefferson
Traded to a good team.
Bishop Hendricks
To a good team. And it's going to kill. Not kill his stats, but fuck up the payday. It's going to mess up his payday a little bit. But if he stay there, man, he looking at a nice deal. Like they look at him as the point guard or the team for the future. He gonna get a nice deal, man.
DJ Wills
He should, bro. Cause he turned down that money. So a lot of people don't have this type of, you know what I mean? Outcome.
Bishop Hendricks
He having a solid, really good year, man. I'm happy for him. But I know he gonna get traded to a good team. A contender.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah. I ask you this. Should the Lakers still let him go?
Bishop Hendricks
I mean, he fit the Lakers a little more than DLO do, but dlo off the benches. Different. But as a point guard. He just play. He a defensive minded point guard. He makes shots. He can get to the rack.
Justin Jefferson
And he always going to compete, which I always rock with.
Bishop Hendricks
Super competitive. But shit, I don't know.
Justin Jefferson
They got a whole. They got a roster full of people who could help other teams. We've been saying that for the last Two years. Obviously they paying a couple of people. Ben Simmons about to come off the book soon. But listen, man, might as well run it up. I don't know if they're going to do a Cam. They obviously ain't trying to pay him, so he might have the opportunity to get that bag there in Brooklyn, man.
Bishop Hendricks
Who, Dennis? Yeah, Cam Johnson. He their focal point now, but he should be a trade target for a lot of teams.
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, I think they doing that on purpose. They obviously ain't trying to pay him what he thinks he deserved to be paid. Even though they lost, Steph was killing yesterday. Steph did all the disrespectful stuff that he does in the basketball game. Dancing on the ground, hitting threes, shimmying. It's great to watch Steph's career play basketball. That's one of the better games yesterday, too. I don't know how many people caught that. Cause it was the Nets. But that was a fire basketball game for sure.
DJ Wills
Yeah, it's definitely gonna have fun regardless, bro. They just don't care about really losing to the net. Like, get one.
Bishop Hendricks
Steph make basketball look fun for sure. Him and Lamelo make basketball look fun. I ain't gonna lie. Like, the stuff they do, you be like, they make you play bad basketball, but it look fun.
DJ Wills
Oh, for sure.
Bishop Hendricks
They, like, play 2K.
DJ Wills
There's a lot of them, though.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, they play like 2k.
Justin Jefferson
Speaking of bad basketball yesterday, a lot of people was pissed. Cause draymond hit a 3 yesterday and messed up some parlays.

DJ Wills
Oh, that's wicked.
Justin Jefferson
I mean, I wanna know how many he attempted.
DJ Wills
Remember some good Draymond stats, though. Draymond from the top of the key. I'm putting money on that. He knocked that down. 33% is crazy.
Bishop Hendricks
That ain't bad for Dre.
Justin Jefferson
That is 33% is bad. When he shot three.

Justin Jefferson
Hey, it was funny because Jalen Green did a Jordan light layup. They were just like, this was innovative, tough. We see this every night. And they were just like. Or how about he was so far ahead and they're just now doing this consistently. I was like, damn, that's a hell of a counter to that argument.
DJ Wills
No, that is.
