2. Rockets vs. Warriors: Jeff Teague Reacts to Jimmy Butler's Injury

At [05:30], the discussion centers on the Houston Rockets' impressive victory over the Golden State Warriors with a final score of 109-294. The panel highlights Jaylen Green's stellar performance, noting his 38 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Jim shares his concern:
"Jimmy only played eight minutes yesterday. He had a crazy fall which led to an injury. He's getting an MRI scheduled for today. A pelvic contusion is what they're calling it right now." [03:29]

The team debates the impact of Butler's injury on the Rockets' chances in the playoffs. Steve emphasizes Butler’s significance:
"He was on their ass... If he's not available, it's quiet." [04:23]

3. Analysis of the Rockets' Team Dynamics and Potential Trades

The hosts discuss the Rockets' depth and the need for strategic trades to bolster the roster. Nacho suggests trading for a key player to compensate for Butler's absence:
"They need to go find them pieces like that. Like, go trade like you said. Try to get Trey Young. He might be too much." [17:58]

Jim adds:
"They got the assets, for sure. And I'm sure somebody would love one of them players." [08:53]

The conversation touches on the Rockets' potential to progress without Butler, emphasizing the importance of players like Jabari Smith and Tar Eason in maintaining competitive gameplay.

4. Cavaliers & Celtics: Game Highlights and Player Performances

Shifting focus to the Eastern Conference, the panel reviews the Cavaliers' win against the Heat with a score of 121-112. Jim praises Darius Garland's performance:
"JG had 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists." [12:44]

The discussion then moves to the Celtics' triumph over the Magic, securing a 109-100 victory. Key performances include Jaylen Brown's 36 points, Porzingis' 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Bankero's 32 points.

Nacho applauds Jaylen Brown:
"I love you, deaf brother. You cool, nigga. Boy, I fuck with you." [15:19]

5. Team Strategies and Future Prospects

The hosts analyze team strategies and potential matchups in the playoffs. Jim speculates on the Rockets' chances against top-tier teams without Butler:
"I believe in the world of Steph Curry, but, yeah, that Rockers team, that ain't gonna be enough right now, unfortunately." [06:10]

Steve discusses the importance of player versatility:
"Jabari Smith has the potential to be like an Andre Iguodala type of person, like an all-star." [08:17]

6. Audience Engagement and Basketball IQ Discussion

At [37:56], a listener, Tyrone Johnson Jr., poses a question about varying basketball IQ among players. The panel responds by attributing differences to innate intelligence and athleticism:

Nacho explains:
"Some people are just more athletically gifted and they had to really work on understanding the game angles and all that stuff because they can get places faster, quicker, stronger than other people." [38:19]

Steve adds examples of smart players compensating for lack of size or athleticism:
"Like Chris Paul's small. He not really athletic, so he's smart as hell. He learned all the other shit to be successful." [38:38]

7. Predictions and Final Thoughts

As the episode nears its end, the panel makes predictions for upcoming games:

• Nacho favors the Thunder over the Grizzlies.
• Steve prefers the Clippers against the Nuggets.
• Jim remains optimistic about the Pistons' chances against the Knicks.

Jim concludes with enthusiasm:
"It's some great basketball going on. But to see Kawhi play at that level, so that’d be dope to see him and Jokic go crazy tonight. That's a hell of a duel for sure." [37:30]

[Jim]

Good morning, happy Thursdays. 5:20 in the morning, your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is D.J. wells. Everybody's at work this morning. Bishop Young, Nacho 520 MOOC. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing?

[D.J. Wells]

What's happening, bro?

[Nacho]

Chilling, chilling.

[Jim]

Chill, my man. Playoff time is still going on. But today, shout out to the NFL draft. The first round kicks off today, man. Very excited to see that. See some new millionaires being made today as well. A couple awards we talked about. Peyton Pritchard get six man a year yesterday. But man, Jalen Brunson got clutch player of the year. How y'all feel about that?

[D.J. Wells]

I'm with it.

[Nacho]

I even know that was a real award.

[Steve]

Neither I was like, damn, they made this up. But I'm with it though.

[Jim]

I think they go with the, you know, I'm saying the metrics are going to certain score times in the game, stuff like that. I ain't at that award.

[Steve]

That's kind of hard.

[D.J. Wells]

He earned it. He earned it for sure.

[Jim]

That's a super dope. I wonder if they used to do it back in the day with how like how many people get more respect. Because like you said, a lot of people had great moments in the fourth, even though they may have not a one. But I still was killing, bro. I can't make sense something every time.

[Nacho]

Yeah, Joe Johnson would have won one of these awards.

[Jim]

Yeah. Some great four quarter scores, man.

[Steve]

Melo probably would have got him one.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he would have.

[Jim]

Yeah, man. Everybody can't win. But there's a lot of people who do their thing. But let's get straight to it, man. The Rockets even the series yesterday. Took care of the Warriors 1092 94. Very crazy game yesterday. Jaylen Green showed up like we've been asking him to do. Superstar numbers 38, 6 and 4. J going hooped out as well with 17, 16 and 7. Steph had 29 and 5. Jimmy only played eight minutes yesterday. He had a crazy fall yesterday which led to an injury. He's getting an MRI scheduled for today. A pelvic contusion is what they're calling it right now. Thompson twin kind of fell into him. I know a lot of people are trying to call that a dirty play, but. No, it was not a dirty play, man. He got pushed into him basically. But yeah, yeah, man. It was very obvious after that. But you know, people don't like paying attention. They just want to run. But stuff. But Rock is bounced back, man. Is this expected?

[Steve]

Yeah, I knew they was going to play better. I didn't expect Jimmy to get hurt. That made a huge difference.

[Jim]

Most definitely.

[Steve]

Jaylen Green did what he's supposed to do. He play like that. They a different team, bro.

[Jim]

Most definitely. Listen, we've praised Jayly Gritter to show he's had a hell of a year and we was like for him to take that Next level, like we're saying with his counterpart, like, hey, Cunningham, he had a moment. 38 at home. Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Make a big, big difference on that team.

[Jim]

Come on, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Because Golden State don't got nobody like that on their side, so he makes a difference for sure.

[Jim]

16, 17. Also, could we go down to the Rocket scoring, please? I know we talked.

[D.J. Wells]

Injuries is a part of the game, too. That's why I hate that. Yeah, that matters. But I mean, y'all. Y'all got a hoo. Next man up, so.

[Jim]

Shit.

[Steve]

They like a whole different team without Jimmy Butler, though.

[Nacho]

Oh, yeah. They weak.

[Steve]

They are terrible.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Nacho]

I just like the whole. The whole thing about this series I was watching. We know Jalen Green, he showed up. The big guys on there. Stephen Adams played well. They whole squad played good yesterday.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Nacho]

But I'm just looking at Kaminga like.

[Steve]

Damn, make some money, bro.

[Nacho]

It's your chance to shine. But damn, boy, you lost that bag, boy.

[Steve]

Try to get it back right now. If he go out there and kill, he can make some money, bro.

[Jim]

I agree this is time for him to get his redemption, but can't be.

[Steve]

Worried about all that that happened, bro. You gotta lock in and torch, bro.

[Nacho]

Like you said.

[Jim]

Opportunity that probably didn't want to have me in a rotation. But like you said, next man up happens, bro.

[Steve]

I watch him do it and throw out there. You gotta be ready, bro. Go kill. It's your time.

[Nacho]

It is. It's time to make some money. But I don't know if his mind in the right spot, hopefully. I mean, getting thrown in the fire yesterday might have got a little confidence, like, damn, I'm gonna play. You know, I'm gonna play now. And he might be ready. Hopefully he bounced back. That's the biggest thing I took from game two. Kaminga got to play. Let's see if he can bounce back.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Nacho]

And hoop and maybe make a little name for himself again and get this money.

[Jim]

Yeah. Cause you look at the squad yesterday, he took the second one shots of the team yesterday. Although he went 4 for 12. 33% ate the hottest. Yeah, he was aggressive. He was trying to get it going, but it just didn't work out yesterday. But that was the first thing I thought of when I seen him in the game.

[Nacho]

I was like, all right, show time, baby.

[Jim]

It's your time. Make it happen.

[Nacho]

You gotta get it back.

[Jim]

And right now somebody gotta shoot the basketball.

[Nacho]

We got to. They got two days in between games, so I'd be very surprised if Jimmy didn't play.

[Jim]

Okay.

[D.J. Wells]

I'M sure it's not serious. Yeah, but if it is, man. Rockets in five.

[Jim]

Oh, yeah. If he. If he's not available. Game three or four, it's quiet.

[Nacho]

Yeah, I'm going with the Rockets.

[Jim]

I believe in the world of Steph Curry, but, yeah, that Rockers team, that ain't gonna be enough right now, unfortunately.

[Steve]

One person can't just score. Somebody else gotta score, bro.

[Jim]

Yeah, we're not relying on quitting post Moses Moody and like that team. No disrespect to them, but yeah, a few days from our cases to several months for that pelvic contusion. He's an NBA player and he's Jimmy Butler, so that means two days. Hopefully y'all be healing at a crazy rate. Y'all be Wolverine NBA people. We haven't messed up.

[D.J. Wells]

They shooting them so they can play, so.

[Nacho]

Nah, they don't really do that no more, though. That was like some 1985. Too many people care about. They, like health and stuff.

[Steve]

I don't want to die when I'm 50.

[Nacho]

Yeah, sit out. I seen Kawhi.

[Steve]

It ain't worth it, bro.

[Nacho]

And then people look at the Isaiah Thomas situation, like how he tried to play through that hit.

[Jim]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nacho]

And lost eyes like, you know, he lost that big bag he was about to get because of that. Boys don't do that no more.

[Jim]

Yeah. Well, luckily in Jimmy's case, you know what I'm saying, he got that extension solidified because it would suck if he was going to this off season trying to get that bag. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Steve]

But he got it, so it don't matter.

[Jim]

Most definitely. And Brandon Prziski was hurt yesterday like they. They bad hate yesterday and still kind of competed. But I want to show some love to the Rockets. They handle business at home like they were supposed to. Game one wasn't the best, but you look at that squad yesterday. Pre Fleet did his thing yesterday for the team. Tar Eason contributes like no other. Him and Jabari have been contributing consistently for the se. Game one, it was a little bit up and down, but like you said, when he come back, it was question about that starting spot. But Jabari Smith been hooping, man.

[Nacho]

Yeah. Jabari Smith playing well. Tari, they got a. They gonna have a log jam. Tari Eason is. He got potential to be like an all star kind of player. Not a star, but he can make an all star team, you know, like that Andre Igodala type of person, like equality. He can play multiple positions, he can guard multiple positions. He got Ability to be like an all Star kind of player. And when you got that problem with the twin, Jabari Smith got that potential. Antar Easton, you gotta trade somebody.

[D.J. Wells]

You right. I agree.

[Steve]

Because like you said, a lot of energy, too, boy.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Steve]

All over that court.

[Jim]

He'd be on there, too. I appreciate that.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Jim]

And offensive. He gonna get a bucket. Like you said yesterday, six or nine. He ain't never shy. He only paid 24 minutes, but he gonna get them FGAs up.

[Nacho]

Yeah. So when you got autumn potential players that could be. Obviously somebody's gonna rise to the occasion, but it's a lot of potential over there.

[Jim]

Yeah. Like you said, can't wait. More on the bench.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Jim]

He gotta leave very capable. I mean, I think you move him and maybe one of those. You know what I'm saying? One of those bigs, and you can go get you that next piece if you try and really go to the next level. Cause they got the assets, for sure.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Jim]

And I'm sure somebody would love one of them players. For sure.

[Nacho]

Oh, for sure. Looking like Houston, probably gonna get Kevin Durant. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't win this series. They getting Kevin Durant. They go to the second round and make it interesting. They getting Kevin Durant. They need somebody to get them over the hump. But if they make it to the conference finals, they gonna stay put.

[Steve]

Well, they probably ain't gonna do that. So basically, KD on the way.

[Nacho]

You don't think they can get to the conference finals?

[Steve]

Nah, I don't see it. Well. Nah, I don't see it, bro. I don't think they could beat the Nuggets. Nah, I don't see it. I don't like it.

[Nacho]

Well, I guess they're gonna be getting Kevin Durant, man.

[Jim]

Yeah. Cause they're. This is a 27 matchup, so they will probably be playing the. The 36 matchup. Right. Which is the.

[Nacho]

They could play the Lakers and.

[Jim]

Yeah, Lakers one. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't like that for the Rockets. I don't like either one of those things for Rockets.

[Steve]

Sanguine is out there. He just ain't no big to guard. And Draymond can't really guard.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

That's why I said it's quiet. He the difference maker.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Nacho]

Then they go even bigger when they put Stephen Adams and him in the game at the same time.

[Steve]

That's what I'm saying. They play a team with some bigs, it might be a little different, bro.

[Jim]

Yeah. Even with the Timberwolves you got Rudy and JR. I mean, JR's strong enough to be down there with shake on for sure. Lakers, they don't really have a big. So he probably would feast as well. But I don't know if you even put Bron in that situation down there on him. If they make sense. But then again, the Lakers got Luka and LeBron, so it could get tricky as well. But shout out to young Rockets, man. They handling business, man. They got a lot of promise for sure.

[Nacho]

If Jalen Green can be. Nah, he don't gotta be. This. This was crazy. Yeah, that was going crazy.

[Jim]

Now keep being this, bro go crazy. I mean, that's cool.

[Nacho]

I'm not.

[Steve]

Take it.

[Nacho]

I ain't gonna hold him to that standard.

[D.J. Wells]

Aggressive.

[Steve]

But if you get us 25 numbers.

[Nacho]

Yeah, yeah. If he getting 25 every night, then they don't need KD.

[Steve]

And every blue moon do this.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Steve]

38. We good.

[Nacho]

Yeah. If he getting 25 night, they don't need KD.

[Jim]

And then like you said, just even progressing a little bit to next season. Thompson's gonna become a little bit better on offense. You got your young. Yeah, they got something for sure, man. Shout out to the rocks fandom business. What can the warriors do at home to potentially go back home with a couple wins?

[D.J. Wells]

Nothing, bro.

[Steve]

Just get healthy, bro.

[Jim]

Just get healthy, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Get ready for next year, bro.

[Jim]

All you said, you just don't have enough, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Like, we. We be sitting here trying to figure it out and say, well, this person needs to do this, bro. It's not realistic.

[Steve]

Yeah. Seth Curry going to have to literally get like, 60, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Steve]

And they still might lose.

[Nacho]

Draymond got to do more.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Nacho]

Draymond got to be. I know he. He got to be a little more aggressive. Looking at the basket like, yeah. In this series, for them to win, Draymond got to average 13, 14.

[Steve]

Somebody got scored, bro.

[Nacho]

Kind of like that series when they won against Boston in the championship a couple years back. Draymond was scoring and shit. He gonna have to go on that road. He gonna have to be 12, 8, and 10.

[Steve]

Gonna have to, bro. Because that's what I was thinking yesterday. I'm like, all right, it's Steph and Draymond. But Draymond don't. What do you. I mean, he had. Last night.

[D.J. Wells]

He probably had five.

[Steve]

Five. You know what I'm saying?

[Jim]

It's not enough.

[Steve]

That's not gonna work.

[Nacho]

Yeah, so we were nine last night. Yeah, but he gotta be. He Gotta be around 12, 13 a game. Eight rebound, eight assists, 10 rebounds.

[Steve]

He's 17, bro.

[Jim]

Yeah. Eight and five in 30 minutes.

[Steve]

Seventeen. Draymond player, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, bro. We need Michigan State. Draymond.

[Steve]

It's time, bro.

[Nacho]

It is, Tom.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jim]

Get well soon to the warriors, man. Shout out to rocks for handling business. Moving on. No, JT didn't matter anyway. Celtics took care of the Magic. 109 to 100. They up 2 on that series. JB went crazy yesterday. 36, 10 to 5. Porzingis went crazy with a double double, 20 and 10, and a nice elbow to the face. Bankero went crazy with 32, 9 and 7, and Franz had 25, 4 and 4.

[D.J. Wells]

My third option better than your second option. That's crazy, bro.

[Steve]

If. If they could get Trey Young the magic, bro. They be cold, bro.

[Jim]

Okay, you see the vision now.

[Nacho]

They play so slow.

[Steve]

Speed him up, bro. Ain't he a space it out for Paulo so he can get to the in the lane better?

[D.J. Wells]

I think for sure he'll speed it up.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Steve]

And they hide him on defense because they play a lot of defense over.

[D.J. Wells]

There and they out east, so they'll be a high seed next year.

[Steve]

And, bro. Cause the magic like a piece away, bro.

[Jim]

Okay. You see the vision I like.

[Nacho]

They ain't gonna be a piece when we try.

[Steve]

Each trade ain't gonna get him, though.

[Nacho]

We gonna say we want to carrow.

[Steve]

Yeah, we can't do that.

[Jim]

Get off my phone. That.

[Nacho]

That's what they gonna say. Come on, Franz.

[Jim]

You better call Nico.

[D.J. Wells]

We ain't going take Jaylen Sug.

[Steve]

No, please.

[Jim]

Look at the roster right now. All right? You can have Jonathan Isaac, Gary Cole.

[D.J. Wells]

You can have Cory Joseph.

[Nacho]

No.

[Jim]

Cory Joseph played 22 minutes last night. Respect to Cory Joseph.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to my dog KCP. I know you want to go back to ATL.

[Steve]

I can have him slide.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Nope.

[Jim]

KCP had three points of 34 minutes. Dog. We rock with you. But one for nine is not enough for the playoffs. Big dog. You are a champ. We expect better.

[Nacho]

Nope.

[D.J. Wells]

We're keeping Gary. We want to keep Gary. No, no, no. We're keeping Gary.

[Steve]

Put him in an Easter basket.

[D.J. Wells]

Keep it good.

[Jim]

Wendell Carter, you are at Lady Hawk. Nope. We are getting rid of whoever like Jeff said.

[D.J. Wells]

For sure. Asking for Paulo.

[Steve]

That's crazy disrespectless to say that. You cannot have Pao right about to.

[Nacho]

Give up our franchise player. We gonna give y'all our franchise player for.

[Jim]

[Steve]

Man, blow it. Blow the team up.

Yeah.

[Jim]

Reroute him to Sacramento for all I care. We want Trey Young and that's it.

[Nacho]

Trey Young is not going to the match.

[Steve]

He not.

[Jim]

It's not. But in the fancy land, we would love for that to happen for sure, man. The Celtics, at this point, we just waiting for them to play a team that might get deal with them. Probably Eastern Conference finals.

[Nacho]

But we got. We gotta point this out, man. Kcp. I love you, deaf brother. You cool, nigga. Boy, I fuck with you.

[D.J. Wells]

Facts.

[Nacho]

But four points, man. Four points a game in this playoff, brother.

[D.J. Wells]

He had a bad night.

[Nacho]

You. He had bad games.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm just saying. That was a bad. I'm looking at this one first game, too. Yeah, yeah, but.

[Nacho]

And the one shot he hit, it was off the backboard, okay? He did a time shot off the glass. Time. We need more from you, KCP. They paid you 20 something a year to be, you know that veteran leadership. But, man, you the only one that got championship experience over there.

[Steve]

Yeah, you have to get 10 points.

[Nacho]

You gotta 12, 10, 12 something. You gotta make some shots for him, killer.

[Jim]

And he probably like, hey, man, I don't care what y'all talking about, bro. I'm chasing around the best wings in the NBA in this series, bro. Somebody else stand for it, bro.

[Steve]

But you're a three and D guy.

[D.J. Wells]

You everything you are.

[Jim]

You need a 10 piece.

[Nacho]

Yeah, you gotta get 10, 12, bro. It ain't no smart. You know, it's all love over here, but four points a game is crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, that's constructive criticism. They. They ain't gonna win, bro.

[Nacho]

They ain't winning. But give them a chance.

[Steve]

Make it look better. God damn. We give you all this money. Come on, man.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Jim]

So now, despite the injuries, for the same. We also know P5 and Wagner had hell of a year. You know what I'm saying? Obviously, if they're not hurt, different standards, different situations for sure. But where y'all see them being next year? Because obviously we know it's quiet right now. He'll probably, you know what I'm saying, Get the brooms out healthy.

[D.J. Wells]

There'd be a top four seed.

[Jim]

Okay.

[Nacho]

Yeah. I just don't think they ever gonna make it a real run. They just don't got that team. I think Paulo, I think. Well, in there, it's nice. They just. It's the Magic.

[Steve]

Yeah, they a middle of the pack team, bro.

[Nacho]

Yeah, they gonna be like, upper middle of the pack.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Jim]

That's crazy, because they got two killers. If you got to move on to get him a parent partner, you got to move France, because obviously you're not trading P5. He should be a Magic for life if he wants to be.

[Steve]

You have to. To get something elite frs, bro.

[Nacho]

But you got. You gotta just. You gotta keep all three. You gotta do like Boston did. Boston didn't trade nobody.

[D.J. Wells]

Play the course.

[Steve]

Just draft good, get some good.

[Nacho]

Y'all drafted both of these dudes. That's good picks.

[Jim]

That's a fact.

[Nacho]

Now you gotta make a trade. You got to give up your assets like Boston did. They went and got Derrick White. Jrue Holiday.

[Steve]

You gotta do something if you wanna win. You can't just. You gotta give up something.

[Nacho]

So you need to go find them pieces like that. Like, go trade like you said. Try to get Trey Young. He might be too much. Gotta go get the person under him. Yeah, but Jalen Suggs is good too, though.

[Jim]

Most definitely. He just had a year and said he was hurt.

[Steve]

No, he is good, but he ain't Trey Young. But he's damn good.

[Jim]

But then you also have Anthony Black. Like, you got so many PGs on the team. I mean, they got rid of, you know I'm saying, Markel.

[Nacho]

But, man, I ain't gonna say you disrespect me back.

[Steve]

He's the defender and.

[Nacho]

But yeah, I'm smooth about Anthony Black.

[Jim]

Cool on that. Okay.

[Nacho]

He. Jalen Suggs.

[Steve]

Except for worse. Jalen Suggs is better than him.

[Nacho]

Yeah, they were. They literally drafted the same player. They both play defense.

[Jim]

Yeah. They went through a log jam with pgs. Colt Anthony, too. Like, go through a log jam with pg still, they gonna have to upgrade that position and move on for somebody. But I like Jalen Suggs on the team.

[Steve]

You think he gave him a better run if he was out there right now?

[Nacho]

Who, Jalen Suggs? Yeah, most definitely.

[Jim]

Most definitely. I'm not saying they gonna be the.

[Nacho]

Celtics, but I fuck with Jalen Suggs. Actually, I fuck with him, too.

[D.J. Wells]

He cool everything I do. That's why I said it'd be a good trade.

[Steve]

But he is good.

[D.J. Wells]

I keep him.

[Jim]

And when they was. Both of them was out, he was hooping. Cause they went on the stretcher, they was winning a couple games when they. They were staggering their injuries. And he was killing.

[D.J. Wells]

He was part of winning games.

[Nacho]

I'll probably run it back with Jaylen Sugs.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Jim]

Most respect.

[Nacho]

They got all healthy now.

[Jim]

They might have to upgrade at two position. For sure. KP there, but we might have to up g that wig, bro.

[Nacho]

Nah, you need a 3 and D. They got too many scores. Jaylen Suggs want to score.

[Steve]

He playing D. He played the three.

[Jim]

P5. Fulfill your role, King.

[Nacho]

Yeah, he just ain't making his shots right now, but, yeah, we going to.

[Jim]

See for sure, man.

[Nacho]

He ain't tripping, boy.

[Steve]

N. He don't give a.

[Nacho]

He don't get no.

[Jim]

He got paid, bro.

[Steve]

He's chilling. He don't care.

[Nacho]

He got paid a couple times. He ain't tripping, boy.

[Jim]

All right, who looks like the better team right now, the Celtics or the Thunder?

[Nacho]

Thunder.

[Steve]

Just because I know it's the Celtics, I'm just gonna say the Celtics.

[Jim]

Okay.

[Steve]

Thunder look good as.

[Nacho]

Yeah, Thunder look amazing.

[D.J. Wells]

They do. Shout out to my boy Chad. They had smut on your name. Nasty. We rolling, baby.

[Jim]

Who put the smut on ch name, man?

[D.J. Wells]

A lot of people. A lot of people.

[Jim]

[Jim]

Big joke.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to everybody, but. Yeah, I think the Thunder. They a problem, bro. Yeah, I just. When you got Porzingis, though, if they go to the chip, I don't see the Thunder doing too well against the Celtics.

[Steve]

That's actually gonna be a nice little finals run, bro. It really would. It'd be entertaining.

[D.J. Wells]

What's wrong with Jason Tatum?

[Nacho]

Hurt his wrist.

[Steve]

His wrist. He be all right?

[Jim]

Yeah, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

The good one.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

[Steve]

[Nacho]

They got a caban for 50.

[Jim]

There you go.

[Nacho]

51. 51.

[Jim]

DG is popping his and I love to hear it.

[Steve]

Man, they almost lost Tyler. Hero was on their ass.

[Jim]

Nah, he was killing yesterday.

[Nacho]

He must have been talking because that's why Darius Garland said this.

[Steve]

Yeah, he had me talking to. Playing clean basketball like that. Take care of the ball, don't play in tight spaces.

[Jim]

Pop that.

[Steve]

He was picking on them too, though.

[Jim]

He had 33.

[D.J. Wells]

He was.

[Steve]

He almost beat them, bro. He was killing, bro. I'm like.

[D.J. Wells]

But I. I love that energy from DJ though.

[Jim]

Absolutely, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Pop your cause they need y'all. They need you to be on there it. And he just.

[Nacho]

Now you going to have to Stand on it.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Throughout the rest of the.

[Nacho]

Yeah. Now you going.

[Steve]

They said it's cool when they play Boston. They gonna pick on your ass.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm rolling, though, bro. We need this energy in the playoffs, though. I like it. He was hoping too stand on.

[Nacho]

Stand on. Now you going, Miami.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Steve]

Oh, Hero about to try to torch them.

[Nacho]

What?

[Jim]

Yeah, he. He's getting 40. Came through.

[Steve]

He's getting 50. Bro, he's about to try.

[D.J. Wells]

I know.

[Jim]

And he don't have to pass.

[D.J. Wells]

But if we win, it don't matter.

[Steve]

N facts, but you talking.

[D.J. Wells]

You gotta stand on this now. Like Jeff said, You gotta go to this next round.

[Steve]

Me?

[D.J. Wells]

This Mortal Kombat should get a little different when you get hired, my boy.

[Jim]

Yeah, sometimes. What?

[Nacho]

They about to run into the Bean. Yeah, they about to play. They number one.

[Jim]

Hold on. They gonna play us?

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Jim]

It ain't about to be sweet.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, here you good.

[Jim]

It ain't about to be sweet.

[D.J. Wells]

Who y'all picking on.

[Jim]

Season against the Cavs?

[Nacho]

It ain't sweet, Tyrese, man, hooping your chains on them.

[Jim]

Hey, DG gonna have to outperform Tyrese. He gonna have to. We don't have too many times up here. We asked DG to do more. They caught my PG underwriter. He had 21 and 12. I'm just saying.

[Steve]

Yeah, last night.

[D.J. Wells]

I love that.

[Jim]

Hey, man, I'm just saying.

[Steve]

One, bro.

[Jim]

We play the cash next round. It ain't sweet.

[Steve]

Nah, hell no, it ain't.

[Jim]

Yeah, we. We played Boston. I fear nobody. We dealt with the boss last year.

[Steve]

They're gonna lose, but.

[Jim]

Yeah, we're probably losing six. But it ain't sweet.

[Nacho]

Yeah, I think y'all could beat the Cab.

[Jim]

Yeah, it ain't sweet, bro. We match up perfectly with them.

[Steve]

Yeah, Cavs do get shaky sometimes.

[Nacho]

I can beat the cast.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, I know. I don't really believe if we play.

[Steve]

The cast, Garland a 10 ball away from getting beat, bro. He go out there and get 10. I don't know.

[Nacho]

I think the. I think that he going to win game three.

[Jim]

Oh, you got. He win the game three.

[Steve]

They going to win one game.

[Jim]

Okay. Energy at the crib.

[Nacho]

Run it up. Yeah, I got the one in game three. I ain't going to lie to you.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay, I'm rolling, dg. Let's go, man.

[Jim]

Pick up taller hero. You going let talk about your favorite white boy.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm just saying, keep that energy high, though, man. Cuz your team. Your team need that from you, bro. Like Mo said, you can't get 10 bro. So you gotta be aggressive the whole way through 20.

[Steve]

Yeah, bro.

[Jim]

And pop your bro. Cause you nice. You deserve talking.

[Steve]

Nice as hell.

[Jim]

Love to see it for sure, but y'all think it's going five Miami get a nice game, period. And it's getting quiet after that.

[Nacho]

Yeah, that's what I got going on.

[Jim]

Okay.

[D.J. Wells]

I don't with the east, anyway.

[Jim]

So Donovan Mitchell kind of took a step back offensively this year. Because the team is doing super well, like we said, sitting out a lot of fourth quarters. But, you know, I'm saying, wrapping up in the playoffs. What do you think he has to do to go to the next level? Shit, he gotta start dominating after more rounds. I mean, obviously right now it don't really matter. I mean, he's still killing anyone.

[Nacho]

I mean, the next round, if he played the Milwaukee Bucks or the Pacers, whoever it is, which team he gonna have to be a little more aggressive. Cause these teams can score the ball. And the Pacers been playing good defense. I know they ain't the best defensive team, but they making it tough for some of the guards. Been having his way.

[Jim]

But yeah, I was gonna say, hey, no, we could do a Yanis.

[Steve]

Nobody can, though.

[Jim]

He's one of the best to ever play basketball. In our case. I would say why I feel a little confident is because we have size on the wings and we got people who want to play defense. You got Aaron Neesmith, you got Benedict Mather. And they not gonna stop him, by no means. But those are two people you could throw at him and kind of slow him down a little bit. He's still gonna kill. Cause he's a superstar. But in that situation, we match up pretty well with them, I think for us, I mean, foreshadowing. Obviously, a lot of things have to happen, but it would be Miles Turner versus Jared Allen. Because you can't put Evan Moby on him because he gotta guard Pascal. So if Miles can hit threes and space the four out, we got a chance against him. But not shit. You look at this team, they've been great all year. And the bench is playing well. So shout out to Donovan Mitchell, man. Super chat. Ask some questions. Jeff and Mook, what aspect of the game came easiest to you and what came the hardest? Pause.

[Steve]

Shooting came the hardest. Figure that out later. But just getting in the paint, making.

[Nacho]

Plays into the room, being athletic, passing came the easiest. And none was really hard. Being real. I probably. I guess shooting. I guess we grew up in the area where you dribbled the ball all the time you did N1 tricks and.

[Steve]

So you go to the hoop.

[Jim]

Yeah, get your off for sure. All right, man. Games tonight, Nicks and Pistons. Todd series, man. Live in Detroit. What does Detroit have to do to win tonight?

[Nacho]

They gonna win.

[Steve]

I like the Pistons winning this series, bro.

[Jim]

Okay.

[Steve]

Unless cat start torturing. I like the Pistons, bro.

[Nacho]

I like Detroit in this game. It's gonna be live in there.

[Jim]

Series, bro.

[Nacho]

They got the best announcer ever. For real, bro. Yeah, you turned up before the game.

[Steve]

If cat start. Cat gonna kill tonight.

[Nacho]

If he starts killing tonight, y'all, I got Detroit, bro.

[Jim]

Okay, so let's break it down. So for the Knicks win tonight, Cass gotta kill.

[Steve]

He has to. Jalen Brunson gotta get a couple more assists, get other people going. But Cat got a kill.

[Jim]

Okay, bro.

[Nacho]

The energy in that building about to be crazy.

[Steve]

It is. But if cat kill, there's nothing they can do.

[Nacho]

Y'all know Detroit used to be the shit. Everybody needs to be the shit. Now imagine they ain't had a playoff game. What?

[Steve]

Oh, it's about to go up in there.

[Nacho]

Oh, it's about to be crazy.

[Steve]

Saw the baby and I'm about to be in there. It's about to go up.

[Jim]

Oh, yeah, of course. I'm about to be lit. The vibes will be in Detroit tonight.

[Nacho]

The goals is out.

[Steve]

All the Buffs in the building.

[Jim]

Yeah, the Buffs are in the building tonight.

[D.J. Wells]

When the last time they really went to the playoffs? When K was born.

[Nacho]

It's been a minute since Detroit had a playoffs game.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay, they number 20.

[Jim]

They haven't had a playoff win in 15 years. I don't know about the last.

[D.J. Wells]

When they had a real run, though.

[Nacho]

I think when Reggie Jackson knows there they when.

[Jim]

That's nasty work. We'll look that up as well. But what do the Pistons have to do to win? I know, obviously the energy will be there, but what do they need to execute tonight?

[Nacho]

Same recipe they did last night. Don't turn the ball over. Turn them over. Get in transition, play fast, play fast, boy. Yeah, they gotta eliminate the others. They gotta take out Mikel Bridges. OG you take them out the game, they ain't tripping on Josh Hart. Josh Hart don't shoot threes at a high enough rate. Just keep him off the offensive glass. But you take out Anunoby and you take out Mikel Bridges, they win the game.

[Jim]

Okay.

[D.J. Wells]

That's a lot of taking out.

[Steve]

I would just. I would just let Jalen Bronson kill, bro. Yeah, just do the ISO shit.

[Nacho]

Just go to work I wouldn't say no doubles, nothing.

[Steve]

It. Y'all not gonna beat us like that, bro. We know that already.

[Nacho]

I'll let the Thompson twin guard kill.

[Steve]

Y'All not gonna beat us, bro.

[Nacho]

Him and Dennis just garden one on one. That's it.

[D.J. Wells]

Cat not having another game like that, y'all.

[Steve]

I don't think he is.

[D.J. Wells]

No, bro. No. Like, is human. They gonna have messed up games.

[Steve]

It wasn't even that he had a messed up game, bro. He wasn't really getting a rock, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, but I'm saying, though, he's gonna be way more involved now, okay? And I'm saying it's not going down if I'm them.

[Nacho]

I'm sending straight doubles, okay? I want to take Cat. I want to fuck with his mind. Like, you can't play.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, bro. Cat, does that say 10? I'm quiet, bro. Now, that's a horrible game, not having 10 and six no more. Y'all crazy.

[Steve]

Nah, he probably won't. He's really good. But I'm just saying.

[Nacho]

But all right, but this is what happened to us. Who he played. When I was on the Timberwolves, Cat had a game like this in Minnesota when we played the Rockets, like, game one against the Rockets that he had this game. Everybody like, I gotta get Cat the ball. I gotta get the cat the buck. We started throwing Cat the ball. Cat killed. We got beat by 25 because, you know, it messed with your head. Like, all right, they gonna throw the cat the ball the rest of the game, and Cat head, he like, I gotta kill. They gonna let Cat. They gonna let Cat play one on one. They just take everybody else out, let.

[Steve]

Somebody play either one of them. Let them play one on one.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

So Tibbs was your coach, right? Yeah. He learned from that.

[Steve]

So I love Tibs to death, but he don't learn, bro, because he still play everybody the whole game.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm glad Jeff brought that up. Good, Tig. I did up then.

[Steve]

He keeps playing people today. He doesn't care, bro. So he's gonna do what he do, bro.

[Nacho]

But if they start throwing the ball in the cat and they let Cat play one on one and, like, all right, it we gonna say, throw it in there. Let them play. They gonna get twos. Twos.

[Steve]

Only thing is, Jalen Brunson is not just gonna do that. He's gonna be like, I'm shooting this motherfucker, too. He's not that type of person, bro. He's not just gonna get Cat the ball the whole game.

[Nacho]

That's true.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

So what? Y'all got Detroit by 10 tonight?

[Steve]

Not 10.

[Nacho]

I got Detroit.

[Steve]

I don't know, bro. It's tough if cat hoop, bro. The Knicks gonna win, bro. It's all based off cat to me.

[Jim]

All right. We gotta make a stand now.

[Nacho]

I got Detroit by 15 tonight.

[Jim]

Oh, okay. Not take that over, but give me the Knicks, man. Fuck you want the Knicks? All right. Be in. Where you at with it?

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, I'm standing, bro. Cat killing. Come on, man. Nixon 5, man. Yeah. All right. Good job.

[Nacho]

Detroit's supposed to win both games.

[Steve]

They would.

[D.J. Wells]

They would. That's true. I'm talking.

[Steve]

I feel like the Knicks just got a better team. They should on paper, I guess.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Steve]

I'm just gonna.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm just saying, bro. I got a thousand dollars on this.

[Jim]

You're invested. These better.

[D.J. Wells]

This ain't no serious talk. My money on.

[Jim]

For me is Isaiah Story player or not. Because if so, that's the big difference for me to watch tonight. But I'm gonna expect the Pistons to win tonight, man. Handle business. For sure. Shout out to the Pistons Thunder Grizzlies tonight. If you happen to be bored enough to watch this. Don't.

[Nacho]

I don't know. It's crazy. The Grizzly gonna win tonight at home.

[Jim]

First game three.

[Nacho]

The Energy Jogger do some tonight.

[Steve]

Oh, man, I don't see it, bro. He probably gonna kill. He been killing, but it's over, bro.

[Jim]

My problem. My problem is I got a lot of respect and love for the Grizzlies, but I don't want to see any more of these games like them. Prolonging this series would just make me even more annoyed, Man.

[Nacho]

NBA is gonna prolong this.

[Jim]

Yeah, they gonna get their money's worth. But I would love to see Jock go crazy tonight.

[Nacho]

If Memphis don't win. It's gonna be a super close game. Let's put it that way.

[Jim]

Okay?

[Nacho]

They might not win, but it ain't gonna be no blowout. It's definitely gonna be a. Yeah. It ain't gonna be four point. Two point game.

[Jim]

They say we need the ratings up.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Jim]

Cause they definitely lost money. This. This round for sure.

[Steve]

Y'all finna put on the show, though.

[Jim]

Oh, yeah. New shoe at the crib. Yeah. I want y'all to go crazy.

[Nacho]

I can't wait to buy them shoes. Tough.

[Jim]

Yeah. That job three.

[Nacho]

Hey.

[D.J. Wells]

Clippers.

[Steve]

Clippers.

[Nacho]

Okay, got Nuggets.

[Jim]

Got Nuggets. First game in you with playoff.

[Steve]

They owner finna act a fool tonight.

[Nacho]

That's the problem.

[Jim]

Steve Ballmer about to crash out tonight.

[Steve]

He's going crazy tonight, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, Slick, I'm rolling.

[Nacho]

Yeah, I'm. I'm going with the Denver Nuggets.

[D.J. Wells]

Why?

[Nacho]

I just see him having a bad game.

[D.J. Wells]

Think Murray gonna kill tonight.

[Nacho]

Yeah, it's easy to play on the road in the playoffs.

[Jim]

I think James Harden gonna kill tonight.

[Nacho]

I don't.

[Steve]

It's time.

[Jim]

Yeah, I think this is the. We've been looking for James for his playoff moment. I think this is what he kill.

[Nacho]

I don't think this is the game.

[Steve]

Norman Powell gonna have a good game. Watch some shit like that.

[Jim]

He gotta bounce back after getting picked up by Jamal Murray.

[Steve]

He gonna have a good game, bro.

[Nacho]

I think they all gonna play bad.

[Jim]

Okay. All right.

[Nacho]

I think gonna have a good game. I think like that.

[Steve]

Not even Kawhi.

[Nacho]

I think the Nuggets just gonna kind of like they gonna beat their ass.

[Jim]

Okay.

[Nacho]

I could be completely wrong, but I just got that feeling.

[Jim]

All right, well, let's go ahead and pick them through. You got clips.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, yeah.

[Jim]

All right. Mo clips. Y tell you got different. I'm gonna go Clippers as well, man. I think this still gonna be a seven game series. Yeah, I think it's still gonna be a seven game series. Regardless of what happens tonight, man, it's some great basketball going on. But to see Kawhi play at that level, so that'd be dope to see him and Jokic go crazy tonight. That's a hell of a duel for sure.

[Steve]

Yokish had seven turnovers last game.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Steve]

He's about to eat tonight.

[Nacho]

Yeah, that's why. About to be on some shit.

[Steve]

He about to eat tonight.

[Jim]

Yeah, he about to write his wrongs tonight for sure. Definitely take the overs on Jokic tonight for sure. Super chat. Tyrone Johnson Jr asked us if you can scroll down just a little bit for me. Right on. Why does B ball IQ vary from player to player around the league? If most of y'all been playing for y'all whole lives, Is it coaching or training coming up?

[Steve]

I mean, shit, some people just smarter than other people.

[Jim]

Literally took the words, bro, you got smart people. You got some not smart people.

[Nacho]

Some people are just more athletically gifted and they had to really work on understanding the game angles and all that stuff because they can get places faster, quicker, stronger than other people. So when you Lack athleticism or height and all that stuff. You gotta learn how to play in a different way. Speed and quickness.

[Steve]

Yeah, Like Chris Paul's small. He not really athletic, so he's smart as hell. He learned all the other shit to be successful crap.

[Nacho]

Pretty much. So all you small guys or all you parents who you know your kid's only gonna be six, five and under, she probably watch people like Chris Paul and stuff like that.

[Steve]

Steve Nash, all that Tony Parker.

Hes Yu Jo discussing who can benefit from therapy. I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're, like, having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody. Find out if therapy is right for you. Visit betterhelp.com today.
