• Duke's Collapse: Jeff Teague expresses disappointment over Duke's performance, emphasizing their struggles in rebounding and clutch moments. At [05:02], he states, "They got the shot they wanted. But the thing was that Houston guarded the rest of the game that last 10 minutes." The hosts dissect Duke's late-game turnovers and defensive lapses, with D.J. Wells noting, "What did Duke do that led to their downfall in the Final Four?" (Timestamp [03:14]).

• Standout Performances: Cooper Flag's exceptional freshman year is a hot topic. Jeff remarks at [10:59], "He probably the best Duke freshman," while Ryan Seacrest concurs, "Statistically, yeah, he killed." Mook adds, "He held it down," acknowledging Flag's leadership despite injuries.

• Houston's Strategy: The hosts praise Houston's coaching and defensive strategies, with Jeff highlighting Coach Jon Schar's impact: "He did a hell of a job this year." At [07:31], Jeff mentions, "There's something about Houston. The way they prepare, the way they play." This underscores Houston's readiness and adaptability, setting them up as strong contenders for the championship.

3. NBA Playoff Reactions Shifting gears, the conversation delves into the NBA playoffs, focusing on the Lakers' recent performance against the Thunder and broader Western Conference dynamics.

• Lakers vs. Thunder: Jeff Teague lauds the Lakers' dominance, stating at [37:53], "Bad timing to start tapering off." The hosts discuss key players like Steph Curry, with Ryan expressing concern over his performance: "Steph only had three points yesterday. One to ten from the field, one to eight from three." They debate whether this is a one-off bad game or indicative of deeper issues.

• Western Conference Dynamics: The panel analyzes the strength of teams like the Nuggets and Rockets. Mook points out, "They are sad, bro. Jokic has to do everything for them," reflecting on Nikola Jokić's pivotal role for the Nuggets. Jeff counters by highlighting coaching strategies, saying, "Inmate can coach facts. He gonna make game plans." This highlights the tactical depth and unpredictability within the conference.

• Defense Grading: A listener named Tyrone Johnson Jr. inquires about CP3's defensive grading. Jeff responds at [16:41], "CP3 is really good at stealing the basketball. He's probably one of the league leaders in steals." The debate extends to the effectiveness of different defensive styles and their impact on game outcomes.

• Player Comparisons: Mason Soldmeier poses a question comparing players like Tyus Jones, Seth Curry, Trey Young, and Walter Clayton. Jeff responds by comparing Clayton to Tyus, noting their consistency and playmaking abilities at [21:45].

5. Notable Quotes

• Jeff Teague on Houston's preparedness: "They look like they never defeated." ([07:43])
• Ryan Seacrest on Cooper Flag: "He's a double, double machine." ([12:24])

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, they beat they ass.

[D.J. Wells]

It was definitely a belt to ass to get South Carolina yesterday. We were not expecting that. You know what I'm saying? South Carolina got the better of them early in the season where they matched up. But shout out to UConn, man handling business, man.

[Mook]

Legend. Another legend. UConn another UConn legend. They got.

[Jeff Teague]

Nah. UConn beat him in the earlier.

[Mook]

Yeah, UConn did beat him.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh no. I thought South Carolina got them early. I am incorrect in that sit. But yeah, you know, we just gonna.

[Jeff Teague]

Hold each other accountable.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah, I appreciate it, bro. Paige got the dub for sure, man. That's for our last college game. Getting the chip too. Especially everything what she went through, man, them injuries.

[Mook]

That's tough to say, bro. They got so many people.

[D.J. Wells]

They got her statistics. You could. Yes.

[Jeff Teague]

You know why she. It's not fair. Cause they teams were so much better that they didn't even get to hoop to their full potential.

[Mook]

Yeah, like Stu got four chips in a row, cuz.

[Ryan Seacrest]

True.

[D.J. Wells]

That's.

[Mook]

And like they got crazy people.

[Jeff Teague]

Like think about the team. Diane Tarazan don't even really get to shoot and do all that stuff because they had so many good people. Facts.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

But also to be fair too in that conversation, the play devil's advocate. The competition around was a little bit different too. Ucom at that time was becoming a powerhouse. And they was for sure. You had Tennessee back then. But now you had a couple different places where it was heavy. You had lsu, you have South Carolina start their dynasty.

[Jeff Teague]

Yes, it was really a two team race for sure. It was Yukon, Tennessee for sure, and Notre Dame gets sprinkled in there, here and there. But it was definitely a two team race.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, yeah. You look at the Lina Charles.

[Ryan Seacrest]

She my class. That's crazy. I forgot she was there too.

[Jeff Teague]

She was a beast too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Real beast.

[Mook]

A lot of people that went there, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to my. Moore just got decked in the hall of Fame as she should have sub Bird as well.

[Mook]

You know what I'm saying?

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Tiffany Hayes. KIA Nurse was cold.

[Mook]

It's hard to make they top five, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

But you look at all time scoring too, even with the injury. She's. She's up there.

[Mook]

Nah, she be killing.

[Jeff Teague]

She.

[Mook]

She did her thing. Shout out to her.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely, man. Shout out to the ladies, man. But the men's tonight, we got a nice game, but first, let's talk about the final four, man.

[Mook]

Hey, Duke, y'all fumbled.

[Jeff Teague]

Met with Teague.

[D.J. Wells]

Let's go.

[Jeff Teague]

Let's.

[D.J. Wells]

Let's get straight to the Duke. We gonna move to the Duke game.

[Mook]

All right, man, they had the game, bro. They fumbled.

[D.J. Wells]

So did Houston, Did Houston take that or did Duke lose that?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Houston took it, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Houston took it.

[Mook]

He lost it, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They took it.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Jeff Teague]

They locked up the last 10 minutes of the game.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They took it to.

[Jeff Teague]

They ain't scored.

[Mook]

Field goal, bro. You gotta win the game, bro. I'm sorry.

[D.J. Wells]

Talk about it.

[Jeff Teague]

Moo.

[Mook]

They lost the game, bro. Houston, did they part? They made shots, of course, but Duke just. They fumbled towards the end and then Duke, they was trying to get up to Cooper flag too much, bro. They should have went to Caneppo down the end, let him go, hit the free throws and they just gave it to Cooper flag too much. They was trying to force feed it to him.

[D.J. Wells]

You think that moment at the end of the game was too much? Or your best player get that shot at the end of the game?

[Jeff Teague]

Nah, they got the shot they wanted. But the thing was that Houston guarded the rest of the game that last 10 minutes. Houston started playing Houston defense and they took him out of being comfortable like these stuff like that, Contesting at the rim, making plays down the stretch. There's a big moment in the game right here.

[D.J. Wells]

Choked it up right there, though. Oh, back into possession.

[Mook]

He hit a shot every day right here.

[Jeff Teague]

Wow.

[D.J. Wells]

So that big 3, 61, 33 songs.

[Jeff Teague]

Basically to take a 64, 67 was a big shot, big play. People blaming Cooper flag for the. You got to run him off the line. He did his job.

[D.J. Wells]

But this right here, unacceptable.

[Mook]

Onyx stuff like that, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Get that turnover. Hey, out that turnover, taking the ball out.

[D.J. Wells]

Be in with the box out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's how you do it. I seen them drills that Samson got.

[Mook]

Them on and then big buddy gave us nothing.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I was going to say we can break down sass of this game. Crier when CR he had 26. Cooper Flag balled out with 27, 74. But the big man for Duke, man, zero rebounds, 30 minutes gave us nothing. That's unacceptable, man.

[Jeff Teague]

Roberts made some big free throws down the stretch or whatever.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Zero rebounds is crazy.

[Mook]

You 7 2, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

But it was a hell of a game on Houston Park. I mean, I know the world wanted to see Duke in a championship, you know, they got the star power or whatever, but I knew what'd happen.

[D.J. Wells]

You was locked in.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, they just ain't got that. When I look at Houston, they got a bunch of dogs and they all. You could tell they obviously they both two well coached teams. Jon Schar did a hell of a job this year.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely.

[Jeff Teague]

But it's just something about Houston. The way they prepare, the way they look, the way they play. Just look like they never defeated. Yeah, like I never once looked at the game and was like, damn, they gonna lose.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I never felt that.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, but I never felt like they was defeated.

[Mook]

Oh, we gonna always be there towards the end of the game.

[D.J. Wells]

We gonna be there and to your point. MOOC down 14, eight minutes left. Then you go on a 15, three run. Last two to win the game. Supercharge. Morales. Morales. Respect Jet and Mook. How the fuck did Duke have so much trouble in the bounding the ball at the end of the game and what plays would you have run?

[Jeff Teague]

I can't even make fun of him because we had this problem when I coached school ball. This was our biggest problem. Trying to get the ball inbounds. When we up 8 or 9 and people started pressing, we struggled a little bit inbounding the ball.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I know it sounds really simple, but it is really hard to inbound the ball in them situations. Like it ain't as easy. Everybody act like it is.

[Jeff Teague]

It's not. It's just people be scared.

[Mook]

They be scared. Boys don't want to go shoot them free throws.

[Jeff Teague]

They don't want them free throws. A lot of people don't want that ball, man.

[Mook]

You scream, roll back to the ball, you roll the other way. It's simple. It always been simple.

[Jeff Teague]

There's a lot of people when them moments happen, you know, we all prepare ourself. You in the backyard, down one, you hit the game winning shot. But when it's 20,000, 50,000, 60,000 people in the stands and everybody on the world with social media watching, and you gotta be that guy to shoot those free throws or if you miss it, everybody can't live with them results.

[Mook]

Oh, community hate you.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, everybody can't live with them results.

[Mook]

With a hundred thousand in the stands. So.

[D.J. Wells]

And that's interesting to hear from y'all, because both y'all press breakers, like y'all ain't got no problem in them situations.

[Jeff Teague]

I want the ball. Like, this was my thing. At the end of the game, I used to go get the ball because I used to guarantee me two points. So at the end of the game, if I got 12 points and I'm averaging 16, I used to be like, I need them free throws.

[Mook]

I need this.

[Jeff Teague]

But some people run from that moment.

[Mook]

This is what you built like, that's all.

[Jeff Teague]

Like. Some people go to the free throw line, they shaking.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that's true. I've seen that before.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

That's why they don't want the ball. That's why you get them turnovers late.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Game lights get a little brighter, boys real bright.

[Mook]

That's what it is. It ain't no play call. Just bro, get open.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Get the ball, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Man, y'all said that real simple. I was gonna say we could roll a clip of people in the moments have all field too. So it's great.

[Jeff Teague]

Or they pressure different. They're scared of, like, pressure.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Turn the ball over.

[Jeff Teague]

Turn over ball. Like you can't. If you gonna be a good player, you gotta have failures. You gonna fail.

[D.J. Wells]

That's a bar.

[Mook]

You can't be scared, bro. That's what made Kobe and them so good. Cause they was like, I don't care, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah. You can't be scared to fail. A lot of people can't handle failing when it comes to sports. Cause of what comes with it afterwards.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. The tweets, the meme.

[Mook]

Especially today.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Cause back then, you know what I'm saying? You lose. You might see the newspaper today. Boy, that meme is getting clipped up. Before you get back in the locker room, you gotta.

[Jeff Teague]

I remember we talked about it. Me jokingly, like with Jimmy Butler, when he passed me that ball when I had to hit that shot against the Timberwolves, go to the playoffs.

[D.J. Wells]

Like, I was.

[Jeff Teague]

I'm not scared of that moment. I was joking because you the highest paid player. But I'm not saying Jimmy's scared of that moment at all. He just made a basketball play. But like, I would have got hated.

[D.J. Wells]

Forever if you'd have missed a shot against the Nugget boy. They hated you.

[Jeff Teague]

Like, why? Why is Teague shooting that? Like, why would Teague have the ball with a mint? He got like, why the fuck do.

[D.J. Wells]

I got the ball?

[Jeff Teague]

But I ain't scared of the moment. I gotta do what I gotta do. I live with the results. I'll just turn it off.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely. Now Cooper probably play his last college game for sure. National player of the year. Fourth freshman to ever do it. Is he one of the best Duke freshmen of all time? Where's he ranking at?

[Jeff Teague]

Definitely, for sure. He probably the best Duke freshman.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Over Zion.

[Jeff Teague]

National player of the year.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You lead everything. You lead your team and everything, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And we made it to the Final Four.

[Mook]

I say design. Make the four Final Four.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, of course not the final Four.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

He's literally the best dude freshman ever.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Statistically, yeah, he killed, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

He had a great year all over the board, though. Like, he was the most polarizing. Like, Zion was highlight central. Like. Yeah, but the stuff Cooper Flag doing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The stuff ain't kill.

[Jeff Teague]

Zion killed. Yeah.

[Mook]

If he would have hit the kill.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Jason killed Jalil Okafor, Autumn killed as freshmen. But I don't know. He just to lead your team in every category dominated national player. And you're really supposed to play high school.

[Mook]

Yeah, you dominate.

[D.J. Wells]

There's nothing more he could have done.

[Mook]

He like somebody else helped me. Nothing more I can do.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The month left with 27.

[Jeff Teague]

The most impression, the most impressive freshman year is my guy from Ohio State. Football receiver. He was impressive this year.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

Cooper Flag and then the other freshman from Alabama. That was like 16, 17. He was nice too, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Now Cooper Flag is up there for real. Just freshman's period in college.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

He held it down.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely, man. Shout out to Cooper Flag.

[Jeff Teague]

Is it better than mellow in college?

[Mook]

I can't give him that just because mellow one, mellow one and he had less.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And he's a double, double machine.

[Mook]

This thing was good, but it wasn't mellow.

[Jeff Teague]

Was the best freshman.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, yes. Ever, bro. Or y'all. We already had this talk.

[Mook]

Stat wise. I'm going Kevin Durant, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, we was a double double.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, I don't disagree with. It's probably.

[Jeff Teague]

Flag is not the best freshman ever.

[D.J. Wells]

I Agree.

[Jeff Teague]

He the best player once.

[Mook]

That AD had a big impact. His blocks was crazy. He had more blocks than every other team, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

He was the. He's the best dude.

[Mook]

Freshman ever, but 26, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

The best freshman ever. Yeah. I'm gonna go with Kevin.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Only reason I couldn't say Cooper over that, because like you said, the ACC was down this year and Mello had to go do it. It was. It was wicked in the Big East.

[Jeff Teague]

Hey, yeah. Anthony Davis, number one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I ain't mad at it.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm not mad at his stats.

[Mook]

Just ain't like them other people's stats.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. I'm just 4.7 blocks per game. Yeah.

[Mook]

That's crazy.

[Jeff Teague]

That's crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

1410 is. And he played with all NBA players. Yeah, that's.

[Mook]

But that's like, you gonna get. I mean, they giving them the nine, but that's like getting. Not like Jason Tatum and them for playing on the team. That's too good.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Stats ain't gonna be like everybody.

[Jeff Teague]

I'm gonna still go with Kevin Durant, though.

[Mook]

I love KD, bro. He averaged tweens. What do you have?

[D.J. Wells]

25, 11.

[Mook]

You don't do that in 26. You don't do that in college, bro. Boy gonna average.

[Ryan Seacrest]

KD was unreal, man.

[Jeff Teague]

He was unreal, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Come on, man. But that's 37 to 23 is crazy. Mellow killed Mellow run just so crazy. Cause you think they go there, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They was weak in the beginning of the year, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, bro. That's why I'm saying he did way more with less, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hakeem. Shout out to Hakeem. And you know, I mean, the point, girl.

[Mook]

Yeah, that was good.

[D.J. Wells]

But I came war Jerry McNamara. Yeah.

[Mook]

We didn't even know them before the season started.

[Jeff Teague]

That's a fact.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So I got to give it to Mellow just off. That's true.

[Jeff Teague]

Shout out to Mellow, too. He was done.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Zion used to whoop, though. That's still a crazy moment of cause.

[Mook]

But number one, for no reason, he was killing.

[D.J. Wells]

That's crazy. That to wear somebody else's shoe would have a more historic moment in them than PG is crazy.

[Jeff Teague]

Tre is crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Greg Oda had a moment.

[Jeff Teague]

Tree 7.

[Mook]

Forget Greg was playing with his left hand, bro. He wasn't playing with his real hand.

[D.J. Wells]

And he played against probably the best college team of all time, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Beasley averaged 26 and 12.

[Jeff Teague]

Murder.

[D.J. Wells]

He was wolfing.

[Jeff Teague]

I a know D rose average 20.

[Mook]

Yeah, 26 and 6.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, that's 20 and 6.

[Jeff Teague]

Oh, yeah. I ain't no D rose average 20. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Jalil Oak before he had a great.

[D.J. Wells]

Not to look over. Yeah. And I moved that. Bob. Interesting point. They said they always get on Kentucky, you know what I'm saying? By having all the talent and not winning chips and they were just like, well, dude got one. And the last little instinct.

[Mook]

It's the Coach Cal thing, bro. It got nothing to do with nothing. They just don't like Cal, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that's it.

[Jeff Teague]

They just don't like California. Yeah. Duke got they. That one. Ain't they most talented. That was one of their least talented teams that won the chip. They ain't really had no guys on there. If you go look at it, you had. I mean, you had Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones.

[Mook]

Uh huh.

[D.J. Wells]

Was Quinn on the team too? Was Quinn Cook on that national championship team?

[Mook]

Yeah, he won't.

[Jeff Teague]

No disrespect to Quinn, but.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah, I was just bringing up the swat.

[Jeff Teague]

I'm saying like when you think of like first round picks and getting the guys, like they ain't really had that many.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah. And then you also look at the team that we thought probably might have got that was that Kentucky team that fell short to Wisconsin. But for sure, man, the other game was crazy as well. Florida and Auburn. 79, 73.

[Mook]

Hold on, I got one question now.

[D.J. Wells]

Talking shit.

[Mook]

If Cat and them won the chip, would they would have been better than Florida?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes.

[Jeff Teague]

They been the best team of all time for sure.

[Mook]

Cause they was cold.

[Jeff Teague]

They had debug coming a thousand percent, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Ooh, that's tough. It was cold.

[Mook]

I don't disagree with the conversation, but bench.

[D.J. Wells]

But they ran it back to back though.

[Mook]

No, they did.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Suspend a block and get a chip is tough.

[Jeff Teague]

They were all freshman, bro. They would have won the chip.

[Mook]

Yeah. Tyler Eulis off the bench. Steve Book, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Twins.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah. Yeah. Respect.

[D.J. Wells]

Before we get to the Florida Auburn game, we got the super chat. Tyrone Johnson Jr asks on Gus running Shag. Gil talked about how Cavs don't know how to grade defense. They brought up CP3 and how NBA teams actually put it in the game plan for pgs to attack him because his defense is overrated. Can you explain? That's a hell of a question.

[Jeff Teague]

Okay. I don't know how to grade defense. They brought up CP3 and high NBA.

[Mook]

Teams attacking the master.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, I mean CP3 is really good at stealing the basketball. He's probably one of the league leaders in steals. Probably number two. One or Two all time, I imagine. But he's really good at stealing the basketball. It's hard to keep people in front of you, but people used to put him at pick and rolls and get switches and attack him. But he wanted a stronger guard so you couldn't post them. That's the thing. But like quick guys and faster players could go scp. That wasn't a problem. But like those bigger guards couldn't post him. Cause he was super strong and he could steal the ball from you. So when Biggs tried to post him up or stuff like that, he was really good at that. Or you trying to make passes in the pick and roll. He was really good with his hands. But one on one situations, yeah, you can go bomb, but that's anybody.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

All right.

[Mook]

Just picking your mismatches, that's all they doing.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, right. Most definitely.

[D.J. Wells]

And underrated status live players who are maybe the best defenders on ball. Pretty good at steals too. You look at Tyrus Hella Burden, terrible on ball defender, but he's always going to be topping steals because he's not playing passing lanes for sure.

[Mook]

Defense is overrated, bro. It is, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Good offense, somebody says that that plays basketball.

[Mook]

Good offense is always going. I mean, you got to get some stops, but you gotta score more points to win the game, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, CP know how to play the game. Like, yeah. He know how to guard you and force you to somebody. Like just one on one flat. You can go by cp.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

That never was a thing. Like, I don't think anybody looked at CP and was like, yo, the last shot, I can't get a bucket on cp. You can get a bucket.

[Mook]

Like I ain't never.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Mook]

I ain't never seen him take CP out of a game. Cause his defense allowed.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mook]

I've never seen that.

[Jeff Teague]

Nah.

[D.J. Wells]

But I've seen him take Rudy Gobert out and he won the defensive player of the year.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

So like you said, it's all about getting the mismatch for sure.

[Jeff Teague]

Well, against cp, if you bring that ball anywhere around him and you ain't for sure with it, he will steal that basketball. He good at stealing the ball. He got all the little tricks, all that stuff he hold. Yeah. You about to cross over, he hold your hand, take the ball from him. He got all that. But you can definitely go bomb.

[D.J. Wells]

Now. You saw Jason Tatum when he said Pat Bev was tickling people. That was crazy, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Oh, that's what they said about Pepe.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Like, bro, what are you doing?

[Ryan Seacrest]

You need them tricks in the NBA, bro. Yeah, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

I don't think tickling is crazy, but.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The little tactics that Jeff's talking about.

[Mook]

That grabs my arm.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Jeff even was showing little Bobby how to steal the ball, you know what I mean? In a different form of fashion, but.

[Mook]

Always gonna be tricky.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You need that, bro. Y'all are way too good, bro, to be trying to guard like your coach taught you when you.

[Mook]

I only know.

[Jeff Teague]

I know, like, three people that really could guard you. Like, even though Pat Bev, like, one defensive player, I mean, made defensive teams or whatever.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

I don't think he was really like that on defense.

[Mook]

Like, he had more energy than.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, he was a good energy player, y'all.

[Mook]

He did, though. Like, he wasn't just locking boys.

[D.J. Wells]

No.

[Jeff Teague]

I mean, it's impossible. He gets stops.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

Like, he'll get a stop.

[Mook]

That's defense, though, motor.

[Jeff Teague]

Two out of eight times, he gonna get a stop, and that's good defense. I'm just being real, like, against some of the best. You guarding the best player on the.

[Mook]

Team might get one stop. I might. You stop KD one time, you be like, I play good defense, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah. But the only people I've seen that do it on a consistent basis at, like, a level where it was just like, damn, was like, Avery Bradley and Drew Holiday. It was. That was the only people I seen that guard me, and I really was like, okay, like, I'm get off. And Ta. When Ta used to guard you, he used to be like, okay, I can't get by. I can't really score on him. I can't get by him like that. I'm going to need a pick and roll. I'm going to need some. Some advantages. And, like, like I said, Avery Bradley was special at that. Pat Bev was a good defender, but he wasn't the quickest. So against me, I could get by him because he wasn't that quick, but he had the good hands. He gonna swipe down, he gonna take the charge, he gonna do all the little stuff. But him as a defender, he was better guarding bigger guys. That's why you see him guard Braun, because they not as quick.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

I mean, that's just real.

[D.J. Wells]

But using that leverage to his advantage, for sure.

[Jeff Teague]

But Avery Bradley and them was like.

[D.J. Wells]

This, chest to chest. What's up?

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, they just as quick as you. Just as fast. So it was just a little different.

[Mook]

How they bigger than you? Strong and he just as quick.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, it was different. Yeah, for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Also, you know, starting to get into that category. DYSON Daniels.

[Jeff Teague]

You don't want to play with the basketball around him.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, bro. He going to take that for sure.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

All right. Lake Show 1996 in the Super Chat. Ask OKC Thunder. Last of flounder zero free throws, four Shay Gildrich Alexander, Lakers in five.

[Mook]

I'm telling you, bro, they gonna take away that free throw line in the playoffs, bro. He looked different without. He's cold, don't get me wrong, but without autumn fouls, it's a little different, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay, playoffs, so it'll be a little bit different.

[Mook]

He looked like he wasn't enjoying himself as much out there, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Without all them calls, bro, for sure. We gonna talk about that game a little bit later. Last but certainly not least, Dio the Trio. That's a wild name. My boy. Shout out to you. Super chat. On the scale of Tyus Jones, Seth Curry and Trey Young, or do you see Walter Clayton peak?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't know. It's a little early for me.

[Mook]

I have no idea.

[Jeff Teague]

He remind me of. He remind me of Tyus. Okay? Obviously he played more years in college basketball. Tyus got to his fourth year, he probably be doing the same thing that Clayton did. He kind of play like Tyus. They don't really make too many mistakes. Can shoot the ball. Not that explosive, but good enough athlete.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay, speaking of the game, Florida took care of Auburn. 7,000, 973, man. Walter Clayton went crazy with 34 in the win. That's crazy, man. Has he been the best player this NCAA tournament so far?

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah.

[Mook]

And the most clutch.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Reliable.

[Jeff Teague]

I told y'all, man, every time I even turn the TV on, buddy stinks it up, man.

[D.J. Wells]

What's crazy?

[Jeff Teague]

Everybody kept writing like, turn your show.

[D.J. Wells]

Turn the TV off.

[Jeff Teague]

Turn the TV on.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm gonna tell you what's crazy. We was in Dreamville Fest. We was chilling, you know what I'm saying, between sets. And we watching the game, right? He looks away. Peter, go get a nice reverse leg. He looked back again and he missed his shot. He's like, see, I told. I said, I swear to God, when you just look away, he just hit a lake.

[Jeff Teague]

I swear, bro, every time I watch this game, he never play with, I'm like, damn, am I really hating? And I'm like, giving his bad energy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes.

[Jeff Teague]

Cuz like, everybody, I swear, I had like at least 200 dms. Like, I know you watching. Turn your TV off so my boy can make a shot. And I'm like, damn.

[Mook]

I thought about.

[D.J. Wells]

Damn.

[Jeff Teague]

Damn. I. I want to like you. I want to be a fan. I'm just saying. I've never seen him play.

[D.J. Wells]

Good.

[Mook]

Yeah, man. I don't know. It looked like big fella. He was a little tired.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Broom. Yeah. At 15 to 7, he looked a little tired his last college game.

[Jeff Teague]

What did. Dude, yeah, he. Oh, shitty 32.

[D.J. Wells]

He got another year, I'm about to say.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, he done what? How did the little dude do, though?

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, he did solid.

[Mook]

Cool. He ain't do nothing crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he had a solid game.

[Jeff Teague]

But cuz I stopped watching when everybody told me turn my TV off, I'm.

[Mook]

Like, he was 4 for 12.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah. Like, bad.

[D.J. Wells]

But n, man, Florida, y'all think they got what it takes. Take care of Houston tonight.

[Mook]

I'm about to stop down Houston at this point, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

No.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Jeff Teague]

Told you. It's the year of the Cougar.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm quick off the court.

[Jeff Teague]

Hey. Oh, geez. That's the perfect name for that team. Cougar. They got show heads on that squad. But I just told you it was a year, bro. I've seen it from the beginning of the year that people, they got in the transfer portal just fit what they wanted to do. Coach Sampson got them dudes believing they still running miles. Nobody else in the NCAA running miles.

[D.J. Wells]

That is crazy.

[Mook]

Nobody else is doing that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do they need to bring it back?

[Mook]

Obviously.

[Jeff Teague]

You see how they bought in? You see how Duke crumbled?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

Cause they ain't run no miles. Nah.

[Mook]

It might be some truth today, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, for real. The physicality, too, just look crazy.

[Mook]

They like an old school team, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, bro. Which they really are.

[D.J. Wells]

They really are.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And that's my problem with college basketball. They are like, you know, no, hey, shout out to them. Shout out to even all the old heads. We know that went to, you know, Houston. But that's like, if we playing in the 16U tournament, bro. Bro. Y'all are 20, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

One of their seniors supposed to beat us. One of the guys is a six year senior.

[Mook]

I'm well within my rights, bro. I could do this. This is legal.

[D.J. Wells]

24.

[Jeff Teague]

How old is Juwan Roberts?

[D.J. Wells]

Age? Not specific. Age don't even matter.

[Mook]

I'm not breaking no rules.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, man. Cooper, flag, bro. 18, bro. Everybody. You feel me? Proc. Everybody young, bro. But respect, the game is game. You know what I mean?

[Mook]

We're on different time frames, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's right. So shout out to y'all, man.

[D.J. Wells]

You know what? Make me happy for Coach Sampson. He was ahead of his time for the nil. Now My boy get to read the benefits. He's talking in that place. He said, hey, we ain't playing no teams all year. Yeah, we locked in.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's old, though.

[Mook]

He deserved this.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, facts, facts.

[Jeff Teague]

Because Indiana hated on him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Jeff Teague]

He wasn't doing nothing wrong. Juwan Roberts, 23.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, yeah. Respect. LJ Choir, 23. Okay.

[Jeff Teague]

They all will.

[D.J. Wells]

But then right, So I ain't mad at it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Is getting the section tonight to the win.

[D.J. Wells]

That's fire.

[Jeff Teague]

That is hard.

[Mook]

That's crazy, because when I won, I was really 18, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, for real, bro.

[Mook]

2019. That's crazy.

[Jeff Teague]

What y'all do after y'all won?

[Mook]

Nothing. Went back to camp. We stayed there. We went to campus in the morning. When we got to school was crazy, but we just went to the hotel. Ain't do.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But y'all acted a damn fool all year, so.

[Mook]

Oh, we acted a fool when we got back to school, but that night, we ain't.

[Jeff Teague]

Do I want to ask where y'all win it at?

[Mook]

New Orleans. We couldn't do nothing. We always too young.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

A, that's n. Somebody got to make the play for y'all, bro. Alumni tap in, bro. We just want to chill, bro.

[Mook]

We went to the hotel, bro. Our families, and was in the little dining room. That's all we did.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Damn.

[D.J. Wells]

So how much longer was you on campus after you won?

[Mook]

We had to stay. Coach K was like, y'all got to finish school so y'all don't mess my scholarships up or I ain't rocking with y'all no more. So everybody stayed?

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, that's. That's what happened. That's what happened.

[D.J. Wells]

The door switch.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The boy war.

[Mook]

Not be able to call me again.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Wow.

[Mook]

So we. Everybody just stayed.

[Jeff Teague]

No, that's a fact. This what happened to us. I wait for us. I mean, I say some other people had dipped off.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Ben Simmons didn't give a damn after that last cable. That's her. He slid.

[Mook]

I ain't say that to him, though. Ben Simmons at lsu, you can't say too much to him, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He slid.

[D.J. Wells]

His documentary is so fire, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

He got a doc.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, you gotta watch it, T. You ain't seen it?

[Jeff Teague]

No, I ain't seen it.

[D.J. Wells]

He been had it.

[Mook]

He already wasn't going to school or nothing. He said, I'm not here for this.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

That doctor please watch it if you have. His sister was the blueprint. She said, yeah, while he at school. Might go talk to Jordan and Nike. She's like, yeah, we're not regular.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And they got like 100 million, bro, going into the NBA from Nike.

[D.J. Wells]

And he said, hey, if y'all don't want me here on campus, that's cool. Cause I dip anyway. I really try.

[Mook]

[D.J. Wells]

Well, you know, they got in trouble right after that. I mean, Pre Will Wade, they had some issues with his guy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Father was like an assistant coach or something.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he was a coach. That's why he went there.

Yo, what's good? It's Jeff T from Club520 podcast here with my latest fresh take on 2025 NCAA tournament, brought to you by Wendy's, the official hamburger of March Madness. What a weekend. Easily my two favorite games from the Elite 8 were Duke beating Alabama, Florida beating Texas Tech. Duke beat Alabama with their defense being able to attack and transition and getting out on the open floor, finding Cooper Flag and all their talented players and Florida beating Texas Tech. What a win by them coming up big in the end. Now with my Final four is set. I like Florida beating Auburn because of the way they play. They got a closer in Clayton Jr. And I got Duke playing Houston and I got Houston being my championship in a 2025 NCAA tournament. It should be a good game, should be exciting weekend. I'm looking forward to it. We'll see if I'm right. But while you watching the games in the meantime, remember the Freshest Deal in Fast Food's Gotta be Wendy's Right now you can get a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger or a double stack for $1 with an in app offer and a purchase.

Billy Donovan got in for sure. Respect to one of the best coaches in college basketball. 08 Red Team got in there. Now I'm going to pause here and ask y'all a question. What's better, that 08 team or that 2012 USA team? Can we pull up that 2012 USA roster please?

[Jeff Teague]

That had Kobe on it, didn't it?

[D.J. Wells]

Kobe's on both of those teams but I think the 2012 team is the one that had KD in them if I'm correct.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't know.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah we do not want to see the team. They just have. They are not on any all time list. Respect to them.

[Mook]

Halliburton. I said no.

[D.J. Wells]

Hold on. We need the floor general bro.

[Mook]

I feel it. But the best ever. He can't be on there out of pocket.

[D.J. Wells]

So that 2012 team. Come on. You had Tyson Chandler, Russ, Brian, KD, K Love, KD, James Harden, Darren Williams, Chris Paul, Melo, AD and Iggy.

[Mook]

Squad. That's a squad.

[Jeff Teague]

Go back to the 08 team.

[D.J. Wells]

Go to the 08 team.

[Jeff Teague]

I'm cool.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out.

[Mook]

AD My boy was on there at 19.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah, for sure. Gotta respect it. I remember that's talking about maybe Cooper getting on that team that went last year.

[Mook]

Yeah, yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

But it was quiet for that. Go to the 08 team. Couple differences. I'll name a couple names that wasn't on the other one. You had Boozer, who was on the 08 team. My boy Michael Red was on there. Tayshawn, Prince, J. Kidd and Bosch.

[Jeff Teague]

I'm gonna take this and Dwight too.

[Mook]

Yeah, I probably like this team.

[Jeff Teague]

No, I like. I like because they got KD on other one, but they don't got. Who was they? Center. Tyson Chandler. I'm gonna take Dwight Howard over Tyson Chandler for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm taking the team with kd.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I was gonna say that on.

[Jeff Teague]

This team too though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He on that one? Nah, that's too young.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. J Kid and that away team boy, give me 2012. D. Wade and Kobe was going crazy.

[Jeff Teague]

Carmelo Anthony, one of the best Olympians of all time.

[D.J. Wells]

You know the vibes.

[Jeff Teague]

Area USA, James Harden and Westbrook. Yeah. Darren Williams, CP. I'm gonna go with the other team.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, that 2012 team is different for sure. Yeah, but man, shout out to him getting in there. Sylvia Fouls, Sue Bird, Maya Moore, Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony all got in. Shout out to those individuals for sure. But let's get to some NBA action. Last night as you talked about earlier, Mooc built to ass situation. Lakers took care of the Thunder. Luke with a 30 ball 126 to 99. Luca had 37 6. Brian had 19. Austin Reeves had 20 and SGA even though he didn't get no free throw, still had 26 and 9 yesterday. Now the Thunder have lost their last two games to the Rockets and Lakers by combined 41 points. Is he just saying they just ready for the playoffs or is this something we need to look into?

[Jeff Teague]

Bad timing.

[D.J. Wells]

Bad timing to start tapering off.

[Mook]

Yeah, I don't know if they want to play the Lakers, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Bad timing.

[Mook]

No bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Is that a bad look for them? Let's go to the standards.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It is, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Bad timing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's a scary team.

[D.J. Wells]

Especially when you got the best player on the opposite team. You know what I'm saying? Shout out to SGA MVP for sure. But I don't think any of us up here is taking him over. Luka Doncic. So you got the best player with the Lakers and then you got Bron. It's gonna be a lot for Them young boys overcome. Obviously they might have to see them to probably the second round, but man.

[Jeff Teague]

But that Lakers warriors matchup is gold. It seemed like they can't get away.

[D.J. Wells]

From each other and NBA don't want them to either.

[Mook]

It's meant to be, bro. Let's just get it. Let's get it going.

[Jeff Teague]

Brian. Versus, I pray ain't the Lakers Nuggets.

[D.J. Wells]

You almost like your Nuggets.

[Mook]

Hey, the Nuggets. I'm sorry, bro. I watched them yesterday. They sad, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Are you saying that because the Pacers beat them moot?

[Mook]

Nah, they. They are sad, bro. Jokic has to do everything for them, bro. He has to do everything. He had a score rebound. He had to do everything, bro. He didn't even want to pass nobody the ball because he. He was just looking like. Can't none of these do nothing if Murray ain't out there? Yeah, he's just really good, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

That's why he the mvp. But that's another.

[D.J. Wells]

We'll talk about the next show. But in the west, man, like, is the scariest team. Yeah, okay. I ain't gonna say the best, but the scariest team. You look at The Thunder at one with 64 wins, Rockets at two with 52. Lakers right there, third spot with 48. Nuggets with 47 as well. Like we said that three through six. Well, really seven. Realistically, it's a two game win streak.

[Jeff Teague]

Hey, the Lakers gonna win the West. Oh, shit.

[D.J. Wells]

Excuse me.

[Mook]

The Lakers gonna win it.

[Jeff Teague]

The Lakers gonna win the West.

[D.J. Wells]

Are you on that?

[Mook]

I ain't mad at that.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, I ain't either, but I seen some. I seen LeBron describe their rotations, and I said, man, if LeBron can get them to do that for four quarters, the Lakers gonna win.

[Mook]

I ain't mad at that, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Man.

[Jeff Teague]

Cause they got two offensive juggernauts. Three. Really? Cause Austin Reeves can go for 20, 30, 40 points any given night. Yeah, not everybody got a three piece like that.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think the warriors are sad, but.

[Mook]

It'S kind of hard if Steph not killing.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

And Jimmy Butler don't shoot the ball, bro. For whatever reason, he don't shoot the ball a lot. Be aggressive, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Man, you said. You said the words. He poo poo.

[Mook]

Hey, I watched him yesterday kind of hard, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay. Hey, your Clippers are snuck up. They in the fifth seat.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, we just. We just happy to be there.

[D.J. Wells]

Four game win streak. I like the Clippers Nuggets on a four game lost streak, too. That's nasty. Work as well. But, yeah, that's a hell of a matchup in the first round.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't know, man. You don't have to see that.

[Mook]

Lakers looking good, bro. They might come out that west, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Okay. I like the Lakers, man. I'm not a Lakers fan. Them jerseys is weak as hell.

[Mook]

But I've been watching, bro. Like these.

[D.J. Wells]

They kind of sad, but.

[Mook]

It's kind of sad. The Nuggets is sad, bro. I swear to God, they are.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay. I'm.

[Jeff Teague]

Damn. They're rolling with the Lakers out the West.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay, for sure. Let's move on. You talk about it. Steph, man, got locked up yesterday. Held to three points, career low. Rockets took care of business yesterday. 106 to 96. I know that was a little bit shaky for everybody. Fleet was hurt for a minute, but the Rockets have been rolling, man. 15 of the last 17 looking good, man. Brooks went crazy. Dylan had 24 yesterday. Jalen Green had 21 and 5. Shay gone balled out with 19 14. Steph only had three points yesterday. One to ten for from the field, one to eight from three. And Jimmy had 13 five. Man, is this just a bad game for them. But we gonna show some respect for the Rockets. Holding it down yesterday to the Rockets.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Bro, But in a playoff series, bro. Give me Steph.

[Mook]

Facts. I ain't gonna lie, though. Dylan Brooks, one of them. He's a game changer, bro. His energy okay. Memphis should never let him go, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, they shouldn't.

[D.J. Wells]

We talked about that.

[Mook]

Watch him yesterday, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

He.

[Mook]

He one of them pieces you kind of need on the team.

[Jeff Teague]

You know why you. Memphis shouldn't let him go because he was always the villain. So it made Ja look like the good. Not say, look like the good guy is a good guy. But it wasn't so much because you know, Dylan Brooks is gonna do some to keep the heat off of Ja.

[Mook]

Facts.

[Jeff Teague]

He just played his role perfectly. And Jai come over like, chill, bro. He ain't got nobody to deflect with like somebody talking crazy to Ja. Jai gotta defend himself. Not saying he can't, but Dylan Bruce to go in and damn their elbow, him get ejected.

[Mook]

Yeah, for sure. I don't think they realize how much he meant to their team, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, they don't got nobody step in for him like that.

[D.J. Wells]

That's a. That's a hell of a take, Tig. I'm rolling with that, for sure. Listen, man, show some respect to the Rockets. They got a chance to do something. We keep doubting them, they could climb back up to two right now, like we said, locked in possibly with the Timberwolves. I think they might get that serious.

[Jeff Teague]

I like, I like them against the Timberwolves.

[D.J. Wells]

But then that second round matchup is where it could get shaky.

[Jeff Teague]

You know why I like them though? Cause inmate can coach facts. And he gonna make game plans. Like, he'll trap you. He'll do whatever he want. Like. Yeah, he don't care. He's not like a. Yeah, he be talking. He not a traditional. He's not a traditional NBA coach. Like some people got the same game plan. We gonna ice the sides, we gonna weak in the middle. Whatever it is, he like shit, we gonna send the ball screen up. We gonna trap Anthony Edwards everywhere. He catch it on the wing. We just gonna to send a double. He don't care.

[Mook]

Yeah, he coach like really coaching.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, he like coaching to win. Most people just got the same game plan. Hey, we icing on the side. Stay with Steph. If it's over, fight over screen with Steph, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, we gonna put two on the ball with stuff, make Draymond make a decision, blah, blah, blah. He don't care. He'll get the ball out your hands. Steph, start ice on. Go get him. Like facts. I like, I like, I like his style.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, that's very interesting. Say a lot of coaches stick to their disciplines and they their philosophies and they don't being much in situations. If you that adapted been situation, you're definitely going to win for sure. Super chat. Ask Mason sold me. Yo. Teague is PM's little cousin. For the record. Love y'all Hawks teams. Hey, y'all beat Brian at six both times. And yeah, what would the Celtics have to do to fumble the repeat this year?

[Jeff Teague]

What you talking about?

[D.J. Wells]

But I'm guessing Paul Milsap little shout out to him. But for the Celtics to fumble injury. Unfortunately, if somebody gets injured, that might be a chance, but I think other than that, it's probably. Yeah, he's probably built a ass going for it. All right. Jay in the Super Chat asks I play on the team with Josh Smithson and the Wreck yesterday. His homies trash. He need you on the squad.

[Jeff Teague]

All right, Josh, be on the game. I'm about to hit him up, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he told us he was good, man. We gotta see if it's cap or not. Rodney Spears and Super Chat asked Jeff pulled out the black Balenciaga shirt for the fest.

[Jeff Teague]

Oh, yeah. I told y'all, that's my thousand dollar shirt. It gets worn, it's through now, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's somebody calling that house.

[Jeff Teague]

He's done now. I retired him.

[D.J. Wells]

Dre put in the Raptors.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah. Yeah. I got three. I'm buying three more shirts, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

This.

[Jeff Teague]

Anybody want to send me some fly designer shirts or some quality sheet T shirts, they going on tour with me. I buy three a summer, and I wear them and I wear them to all events. So last year, Balenciaga made it through the whole year, so he definitely turned.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That into a hoop tee.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

At least y'all can tap in. We need sponsorship.

[Jeff Teague]

It's definitely over for that shirt. I retired. I left it in the hotel.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, man.

[Jeff Teague]

Shout out to that shirt on the.

[D.J. Wells]

Power that we talk about all the things he's left in the hotels. Does it Jersey hangers, Retirements for sure, bro. For sure. Patience took care of Nuggets yesterday, 125 to 120. Joker went crazy yesterday, man. 41 point triple double like you said. Mooc bought out 15 rebounds, 13 assists. Christian Brown bought out yesterday, too, with a 30 piece and eight rebounds. He had 10 points in the fourth quarter. Made it a close game.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to the patients for getting that dub. Holliburton had nine and 14 yesterday. That's up there because he had 14.

[Jeff Teague]

Oh, my fault.

[D.J. Wells]

Respected over top. It has 22 of miles had 24 as well, man. But the Nuggets four game skid, man. What they gonna do? I know Javar Murray didn't play yesterday. I know it's a big, you know, I'm saying push for that team.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, that's why they lost.

[Mook]

They need him bad, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

And he. If he don't hold up, they in trouble, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think he will if he twists.

[Mook]

The ankle and they are in trouble.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The season's over, y'all. I think we putting a lot of emphasis on this, bro.

[Mook]

Nice playoff time.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Mook]

You supposed to be at your best.

[Jeff Teague]

Oak is really cold.

[Mook]

He's nasty. He almost beating things by himself, bro. He's mvp. This is amazing to watch, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Here they go.

[Mook]

If Brian got to give me 30, Christian, whatever his name. Christian Brown. Brown, whatever. If he got to give me 30 first, like, he had to get that 30 and he was hooping just for them to compete. We in trouble.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We just rest into the playoffs.

[D.J. Wells]

He went 1260 yesterday and 3 for 3 from 3. He was balling. Did miss a free. They missed four shots yesterday.

[Mook]

He needed every bucket just to make it a good game, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

That was a fact.

[Jeff Teague]

41 triple doubles. Crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

That's crazy, bro. And he played on team mpj, man. NBJ didn't have the best shooting. I mean, six before scene ain't too bad, but. Yeah, one for nine from three is not good, but don't work, man. We talk about this Nugget scene possibly, like you said, with Jamal Murray at full strength, man, could they sneak somebody. Where they at right now? The Clippers? I don't think that's the best matchup for them.

[Jeff Teague]

They can beat the Clippers, bro. They can.

[D.J. Wells]

But the way big Zubin playing, I ain't saying he got nothing for yoke. But, bro, they. It ain't gonna be weak, bro. It's not going to be easy against the Clippers.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Jamal Murray, y'all. It's.

[Mook]

If Kawhi come out on some, bro, they. They could lose to the Clippers.

[D.J. Wells]

Kawhi been hooping, too.

[Jeff Teague]

That's a. That's a game. That's a serious. And go either way. But I wouldn't be surprised if y average 50 and he's 15 and 10.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he's going to cook.

[Mook]

That's going to happen no matter who he play.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

If you look at the role players for the Clippers and the role players for the Nuggets, now, I ain't say roll players. We take out the two stars, take out Kawhi, you take out yo. Now, you look at the rest of those rosters. You got James Harden, Jamal Murray. You know what I'm saying? They might put up comparable stats.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

And Peasy, he might be the. He might be the deal breaker in that situation.

[Mook]

He hit some shots, bro. If he hit shots, they. They're a different team.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I love the Clippers, bro, but I mean, the Nuggets championship pedigree. Yeah, bro.

[Mook]

That was a different team, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I like that.

[D.J. Wells]

Why KCP no more?

[Mook]

They don't got Bruce Brown no more. They don't got KCP no more anymore. It's a different team, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We're okay without Bruce Brown.

[Jeff Teague]

No, y'all not.

[Mook]

He was playing good for them, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

No, don't start, Marcus. Yeah, like, don't give Bruce Brown no love on here.

[D.J. Wells]

You can, but don't start that pace of.

[Mook]

He ain't no love when he was on Nuggets, bro. He was killing.

[D.J. Wells]

I said that he was.

[Jeff Teague]

I said Bruce Brown was nice. They.

[Mook]

Bro, they damn near mad. They traded him right now or let him go away. Not trade.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Shout out to Bruce Brown. But it's quiet.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, shout out to Bruce Brown because he helped us get Pascal Siakamo so he My dog forever. We locked in Twin. I appreciate you, but like you said, man, he pushed, man.

[Mook]

Jokic, I'm sorry.

[D.J. Wells]

He broke Will Chamberlain's record for most MVPs in the season by center, man. And he gonna be what? I don't know where he is all time is, but he's gonna be right.

[Jeff Teague]

I was like most mvp, triple double my apologies.

[D.J. Wells]

I said doesn't make co mvp.

[Mook]

Sorry he killing so much. Everybody's like, you got at least do co mvp, bro. He gotta have a part of his mvp. You got to saying it, bro. You gotta at least.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, nah. I don't give a what KG talking. I'm not holding no trophy with no bro.

[Mook]

What if you just give it to Joker then, bro? No, I sent this one out cause.

[D.J. Wells]

Y'All already told me to sit out one more time. I'm sick.

[Mook]

He should have won last year.

[Jeff Teague]

Last year was his year. This year.

[D.J. Wells]

Did y'all see the coaches get the co vp, who in college basketball? Patino and Auburn's head coach. I got Bruce first week.

[Mook]

I don't want shirt on trophy either, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sweet, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Either I won or I didn't.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, that's a s. I'll take a co.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Both of them the same type of though, so they probably like, bro, we did it, bro.

[Mook]

Bruce Pearl.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Twins, same lineage on it off the court, bro. So I get it. But nah, bro. If I'm sga, I am pissed if I got a chair, bro.

[Mook]

He's playing better than you, bro. Flat out, he is, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Now we're looking at the Eastern Conference matchups on time, please. I think the patience right now are is against the buck still. Oh, yeah, please stay there.

[Jeff Teague]

Now let's talk about Giannis. Hold on now because we've been writing me like you disrespect y'all. You right, cuz. What he been doing these last couple games is amazing.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, what he did over the weekend.

[Mook]

Bro, he is cold, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, bro.

[Mook]

The whole team, bro. I watched they putting the whole team on him when he's playing. He making a right pass. He really throw dimes. He's making the right play every time. And then he dunking up. He's. He's silly, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

What's that game he had over the weekend? We had like 30, 20 and 17.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, that was my bad. Yeah, I disrespected you and Loki. He.

[D.J. Wells]

He kind of like Loki looking geek to the play where he can pass by when he want to.

[Mook]

He throwing ds, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Oh, he's. This is it probably ain't the dream scenario, but this is where he thrives in.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he like, all right. I get to do everything.

[Mook]

He is killing.

[Jeff Teague]

I. I apologize. I'll start my team with you. I apologize.

[Mook]

He's nasty, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I start my team with you.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, I apologize, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to Yana's balling for sure, but with no dame. Yeah, we'll see. Y'all Pistons, y'all ain't ready for this conversation yet. You know what I'm saying? Goodwill soon to y'all. Y'all gonna have to deal with the Knicks, but, yeah, I like this for the prices. We ready for whoever with good money. Speaking of the easy conference, man, I.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Can'T wait till the playoffs start.

[D.J. Wells]

We're winning the first round.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I can't wait to see our energy every day when we lose.

[Jeff Teague]

These don't win.

[D.J. Wells]

Thank you.

[Jeff Teague]

I hope they lose the first round. And I ain't even no place or hater.

[D.J. Wells]

Don't worry about it.

[Jeff Teague]

I ain't even no.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But I ain't no hater.

[D.J. Wells]

I wish the worst of you, but I ain't no hater.

[Jeff Teague]

I played for the pace, so I'm. I'm. I'm loved.

[D.J. Wells]

You always say that after you say some bullshit.

[Jeff Teague]

I'm beloved by the Pacers.

[D.J. Wells]

Faithful voice of Pacer.

[Jeff Teague]

Always a Pacer.

[D.J. Wells]

Every time we lose, I post your picture, bro. So you tapped into the Pacer.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You literally give more praise to their medical staff than the actual team.

[Jeff Teague]

Best medical staff in the history. Best medical staff in the history.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's the only reason why this is locked in semi, because they revived his career.

[Jeff Teague]

Best literally best medical staff in the you, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to the page. We good money for sure. But speaking of Easter conference, the Cavs took a L yesterday to the kings. 120, 113. Zach Levine balled out with 37. Deroza had 28 and 7. Sabonus had 27. 9 to 7. Don had 19. 6 and 6. Evan Moby had 16 and 9. Mook, I see some mention comments you was talking about the Cavs on the Internet, man.

[Mook]

They not. Hey, they are mid, bro. They're c. They are mid, bro. It's Darius Garland for me, bro. He's good, bro, but he just.

[Jeff Teague]

Just. I don't know.

[Mook]

He's just not. He don't move the needle, bro. I'm sorry, bro. To be my second score behind Donnie Donovan Mitchell. I need something else, bro. Sorry.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, I'm nothing, bro. Okay.

[Mook]

Watch the games, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I can't agree, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

I told y'all, they Gotta always combine for 50 points. If they don't combine for 50 points, they not gonna win there.

[Mook]

There's Garland, a rhythm player, bro. He need the ball more. Donovan Mitchell got that pill a lot, so sometimes he can't catch his groove, bro. It's hard for him.

[D.J. Wells]

And if I'm not a Mitchell. Yeah, you go get your touches whenever I pass it to you.

[Mook]

Exactly.

[D.J. Wells]

It's my squad.

[Mook]

I don't know. That just ain't. I don't like that fit, bro. A regular season is cool, but in the playoffs, it ain't gonna work, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Man, they got a combined for 50. And Darius Garland averaged 20 points a game. But it's a. I ain't gonna say it ain't a convincing 20 points.

[Mook]

He Cold, but it just. It don't move the needle, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

Like, you know, like, he good. Like, Darius Garland is good, but his 20 points is gonna be a.

[Mook]

Like he just got it. Like, it ain't gonna be an impactful 20, bro.

[Jeff Teague]

I'm not gonna say impactful. I'm gonna say, like, he gonna have. He gonna have a bunch of games where he might have a 14, a 8, a 7, then he might go off for a 38.

[Mook]

Oh, he's gonna have a crazy game where he go crazy, but he's gonna have an eight ball.

[Jeff Teague]

But he have more games with 12 points and 14 points than he has 38 and 39.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, they for sure can't afford that in the playoffs.

[Jeff Teague]

Yeah, it's gonna happen. He can have games like that.

[D.J. Wells]

And you look at last night, he minutes, and then ty Jerome had 20 and 21 minutes.

[Jeff Teague]

Yo, what's good? It's Jeff T from Club520 podcast here with my latest fresh take on 2025 NCAA tournament, brought to you by Wendy's, the official hamburger of March Madness. What a weekend. Easily my two favorite games from the Elite 8 were Duke beating Alabama, Florida beating Texas Tech, Duke beat Alabama with their defense being able to attack and transition and getting out on the open floor, finding Cooper Flag and all their talented players, and Florida beating Texas Tech. What a win by them. Coming up big in the end. Now with my final four is set. I like Florida beating Auburn because of the way they play. They got a closer, and Clayton Jr. And I got Duke playing Houston, and I got Houston being my championship in a 2025 NCAA tournament. It should be a good game, should be exciting weekend. I'm looking forward to it. We'll see if I'm right. But while you watching the games in the meantime, remember, the freshest deal in fast foods gotta be Wendy's. Right now, you can get a junior bacon cheeseburger or a double stack for $1 with an in App offer and a purchase.

This podcast is supported by BetterHelp, offering licensed therapists you can connect with via video phone or chat. Here's BetterHelp head of clinical operations, Hesi 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.
