THE VOLUME.

[D.J. Wells]

Good morning. Happy Tuesday. It's 5:20 in the morning. Your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is D.J. wells. Everybody pulled up to work this morning. We got bishop, we got Young Nacho, 520 Mook. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing?

[Nacho]

What up Bro.

[D.J. Wells]

What up, though, man? Another wonderful night of playoff basketball. We here to talk about it all, but first things first, man. Shout out to your old coach, Kenny Atkinson, Coach of the Year. Shows him some respect, man. Hell of a season for the Cleveland Cavaliers, man. We know. It was up in question for a second, but he held it down. How y'all feel about that?

[Nacho]

Oh, he deserved it, bro.

[Mook]

Congrats. Kenny did a hell of a job this year. We gotta get a win. I'm wearing a Pacer hat today.

[D.J. Wells]

We.

[Mook]

Yeah, I'm with the Cavs. I'm wearing a Pacer hat today, though, for bad luck. Like, anytime I root for the Pacers, they lose. So that's why I got this hat on. It's reverse psychology. Reverse psychology.

[D.J. Wells]

No weapon form should gets me.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

From hating ass niggas, but shout out to Kenny Atkinson, man. Oh, God. Took care of business. J.B. bickerstaff, they said. Should have got that as well. They're saying it was close, but what he did for that Detroit team turned that around. This definitely should be. Respect it as well, man.

[Mook]

Yeah, he was definitely runner up.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely, man. McKinney came over there, took him over the hump. We shall see, man. But let's talk about it. First things first, man. In the Eastern Conference yesterday, a hell of a game. Nick's rally down from 20. Take care of business to get the Celtics 108 to 105. I think only one person called a ride on the panel.

[Nacho]

That's why I'm glad we make reals. I'm glad we spoke that into existence yesterday. Good morning, fellas. Happy to see y'all.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, last night was hilarious. J. Mills attacked us in the post, man. We will not. Although.

[Nacho]

I got you, bro.

[Bishop]

I got you trash, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Have fun. Well, let's talk about it.

[Bishop]

Have fun.

[D.J. Wells]

Listen, Jalen Brusson went crazy yesterday. 29, 4 and 5. OG at Anobi show why he got paid that bread with 29 as well. Cat 14 to 13, an underwhelming performance, but they still got the dub. JT had 23, 16, 6 did not shoot well. And JB 2375, did not shoot well at all as well. Let's talk about it, man.

[Nacho]

OG Looked like the best player on the floor yesterday.

[Mook]

And him and Mikel Bridges. Mikel Bridges came up with some big defensive stops. And he was playing well. He played well. Him and OG they the reason the Knicks won that game.

[Nacho]

Oh, 100%.

[D.J. Wells]

Let's talk about it. Like you said, Mikhail Bridges came up big for that team Yesterday only shot 3 for 13. Only had what, 8 points. But they all came in OT and he played 51 minutes yesterday.

[Mook]

Yeah, he did a hell of him. And OG did a hell of a job on the wings. It looked like they couldn't get bound for real. So they really was just settling for threes. I mean, Jason shot five threes in a row, one time for game.

[Bishop]

He keeps shooting. Step back there. I'm like, get to the rack.

[Mook]

Try something different.

[Bishop]

Run somebody over, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Let's break this down as a cell successor as a team shot 15 from 60 from three. They missed 45 threes yesterday. Now, we can't be too critical of this team because we said they always a high volume three shooting team and that's how they won a championship. But last night, I'm going to ask you both as professionals, in the fourth quarter, when your shots stop falling, what do you do? Do you keep doing the same thing that got you there or do you mix it up?

[Bishop]

You have to adjust, bro.

[Mook]

No. Okay, if I'm old. JB was 0 for 9 at one point. Go to the basket, bro.

[Bishop]

You have to bro the whole team though. Y'all just. Y'all up 20. Y'all keep shooting. Threes for what, bro? We're up 20, bro.

[Mook]

They gave him game.

[Bishop]

It's over.

[Nacho]

Paying PR. Damn. Green on defense too.

[D.J. Wells]

Well, it is. There is no point in time that Jalen Brunson should be isolating Peyton Pritchard. That is not the game plan they were looking for at all. It was put a bow on him yesterday.

[Nacho]

Drew got some buckets too, but Peyton Pritchard is. You can't play this year.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, man. And shout out to Drew Holliday, who had some time to rebounds yesterday. Some of the misleads of Jalen Brown. Jalen Brunson was killing yesterday was on Drew Holiday.

[Mook]

Not really, no.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, really. Not really.

[Mook]

It was.

[D.J. Wells]

Drew did a great job with the great defender. Ice House was on. It was Al Horford. No, Holiday saw some of them too, brother.

[Mook]

Them threes.

[Bishop]

He hit two big threes.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's Al Horford.

[Bishop]

Like, that was timely shots, bro.

[Mook]

He went. He got one bucket on the foul on Drew Holiday. Pump fake.

[Bishop]

But I mean, he can score on Drew Holiday ain't like.

[Mook]

Yeah, he's not gonna do that though.

[Nacho]

I'm saying pain, pressure. That this one out.

[Bishop]

Yeah, it's not for you. Yeah. I mean, solid.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. 24 minutes. He did. He was supposed to do as well. Let's just go through this horrible shooting Percentages. Look at Jaylen Brown, 7 for 20, 1 for 10 from three. Disgusting. Jason Tatum, 7 for 23 from the field, 4 for 15 from three. Disgusting. Derrick White at one point was 1 for 10 from three. 5 for 16 for three.

[Nacho]

He ain't gonna do that.

[D.J. Wells]

Disgusting.

[Bishop]

Derek White shot four threes in a row. I said, God damn, bro. They. They getting them threes up, bro. They coach told him to do that, though.

[Mook]

So it just. Jt, as the. Is like, as they go to. At some point, you just gotta say, okay, it let me put my head down a couple times, get to the free throw line. Something like the game was getting out of hand. Y'all was up 20. They cut to nine. Now it's time to lock in. Let me. Let me get something going to the basket.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Mook]

He still was pulling thirds.

[Nacho]

That was up.

[Bishop]

They shot. They shot him back in the game.

[Nacho]

I was up 20. Brock was not killing, bro. Y'all might be in trouble, bro.

[Bishop]

Nah, that. That means the Knicks in trouble. They missed all them shots, and they barely won, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah. And overtime, they missed 45.

[Bishop]

3:45 threes, and y'all barely.

[Nacho]

Maybe our defense is just too good, bro. Maybe y'all can't get to the cut, bro. Maybe y'all work on your handles, bro.

[Bishop]

Maybe we play like this. We just wasn't hitting today.

[D.J. Wells]

Now I want to get some love, some Knicks, because that third quarter, they could have died. Jaylen Brunson went crazy also. OG Anobi held it down. He's getting steals, transition dunks. He played amazing yesterday.

[Mook]

Honestly, it was better when JB went out. They started hooping. OG went crazy. Then Miles McBride came in, made big shots.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I love OG but is he gonna keep playing like that?

[Nacho]

Yes.

[D.J. Wells]

He been playing solid.

[Nacho]

African, bro.

[Bishop]

30.

[Mook]

He was killing, though. Last night. I was like, God, leave. Every time he shut the ball, I thought it was going in.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, yeah. Looking the floor like that.

[Bishop]

Like, Cat four option.

[Nacho]

That cat was like this.

[Mook]

Okay. I hope cat have a good game. The moment cat plays well, the. They going to lose, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

That's crazy.

[Bishop]

They are, though, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

That's the recipe.

[Bishop]

Cat is struggling a little bit.

[Nacho]

Cat keep playing. Midi stay the fourth option, bro.

[Mook]

The Knicks. All these Knicks people was hitting me up, bro. I'm like, nigga, they missed 50 shots.

[Bishop]

And y'all barely won. That's not.

[Nacho]

Have a great Tuesday. My. Don't listen to these, bro.

[Bishop]

Go crazy.

[Nacho]

[Bishop]

They might, bro. They get them shits up, bro, with no hesitation.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, they gonna. They gonna shoot the regardless. All right, but more respect for Jalen Brunson. What he did yesterday just proved that he's a superstar in this league. And a lot of people try to question it for sure, but he's one of those ones for sure. It's not a fluke, clutch player a year for a reason.

[Mook]

No, that's a fact. Yeah, but he. Every time he shoot, I'm surprised he missed that little floater to win the game in regulation.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, and what a from Cap, too, that people not really giving him credit for.

[Nacho]

I always say use the B board, but he shouldn't have used it on that one. He should have just floated him.

He doesn't expect to be that bad.

[Bishop]

It was just too easy, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Like, damn open as hell.

[Mook]

I wish he would have hit it, though. That was going to be a cold walk off.

[Mook]

Yeah, Tibbs. You saved your job, D. Getting out that first round.

[Mook]

Mike Malone was on his way.

[Nacho]

He. He can do that, bro. Three having Double doubles, bro. It's crazy, bro.

[Bishop]

Yeah, bro.

[Nacho]

Crash the glass. What I tell y'all? That's why y'all coaching ass teach how to box out.

[D.J. Wells]

Back to the fundamentals.

[Nacho]

Three having double doubles, bro.

[Bishop]

It's soft, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

He too little.

[Mook]

They gotta play hardstyle him together, bro. You can't let Chet be at the five, bro. He too cannot, bro.

[Bishop]

You gonna keep losing.

[D.J. Wells]

All right, let's run through these stats from yesterday. Aaron Gordon hooped out 22 and 14 in a game winner. Another one. Jamal Murray had 21, 6 and 6. SGA did his thing. 33, 10 and 8. Almost a triple dub. And Alex Caruso ball out yesterday with 20 and 6. Jake Williams had 16 and 7, but he did not shoot well.

[Nacho]

Christian Brown had 13 rebounds yesterday, bro. 11 and 13.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

You talking about the glaring. The biggest glaring from yesterday was the Nuggets.

[Nacho]

Yes, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Dominated rebounds yesterday. Go ahead and see how many rebounds.

[Nacho]

That does not happen in the NBA, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, that's not enough, bro. Hell no, it's not enough.

[Bishop]

We just seen it happen. It's going to happen again.

[D.J. Wells]

Getting out remounted by 20 in the playoff game is never good.

[Nacho]

We're not doing that, bro. And the Nuggets are sad, bro. Y'all should have blew us out, bro. You only beat us by two.

[D.J. Wells]

Ah, I'm going to say this is more about OKC than is about Denver yesterday.

[Nacho]

Not sad, bro. Get a Will Chamberlain rebounds and still barely win, bro. We going to make some adjustments. Don't worry about it.

[D.J. Wells]

All right. How y'all feel about SGA getting 33 on 26 shots yesterday?

[Mook]

It's a lot of shots.

[Nacho]

Well, y'all said that nigga shoe more than Allen Iverson.

[D.J. Wells]

So this is.

[Nacho]

He on. He on cue.

[D.J. Wells]

He ain't beating them allegations at all. Jalen Williams, five for 20. Need more. Gotta have more.

[Mook]

That's the only thing I question about okc. Like, they ain't really. They been here, but they ain't been here.

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah. Are they players gonna step up? Are they gonna have them moments? And yesterday was just a.

[Bishop]

They was supposed to win that game yesterday, bro.

[Nacho]

Yeah, Russell played good, too.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Let's go to the next.

[Bishop]

He played good, bro. He okc. He's good.

[D.J. Wells]

Y'all back at the crib with it went crazy.

[Nacho]

If they role players playing good, it.

[Mook]

Could get ugly for OKC and Russell Westbrook. Like, they. They role players not fucking with Russell Westbrook. Like when Isaiah Jones check in. Russell Westbrook is at his neck green. He like What? This little nigga is over with. Like, this day.

[Bishop]

They clicking at the right time, bro. They've been shooting better, bro.

[Nacho]

Y'all just giving too much. I agree. Cause y'all right in a. But they only won by two, bro. They got lucky, bro.

[Bishop]

All you gotta do is win, bro. It don't matter by how many points, bro.

[Mook]

You know what they say.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, MPJ went for eight yesterday. Only two points. Not enough. He didn't even wanna shoot the ball yesterday. Had a couple turnovers. He was catching the ball. I don't think he in sync right now.

[Bishop]

The coach put his ass on that bench.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, we need to win right now.

[Bishop]

I like coach, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he locked in. But Joker, man, that nigga look like Pee Wee Herman. That coach.

[Mook]

Yeah. I mean, every time I watch. But look at Pee Wee.

[Nacho]

Joker gonna do that, though, y'all.

[D.J. Wells]

But 42 and 22, you can't really get 42.

[Nacho]

Listen, he had to get monster numbers, bro.

[Bishop]

He always gotta get monster numbers.

[Nacho]

Created 99 player numbers, these things only one by two.

[Mook]

That's literally who he is.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, bro. He's player 99, bro.

[Bishop]

This is a normal night.

[Nacho]

It's hard playing the same team back to back to back.

[Mook]

Yeah, they just realized they gotta play him again.

[D.J. Wells]

He outperform that superstar. He had former SGA yesterday.

[Mook]

Y'all see that, man? Y'all see that meme?

[D.J. Wells]

Don't start that.

[Mook]

Nah, y'all see that meme where it was like my parlay was on his last leg, and my. My last leg was Chad Hoger Blade.

[D.J. Wells]

And they showed a picture.

[Unknown]

He.

[D.J. Wells]

Yo, I was rolling, bro.

[Bishop]

To piss me off, bro.

[Nacho]

It's okay, Chad. These niggas showed that little skinny ass leg.

[Mook]

He like, this was my last leg, bro.

[Nacho]

Alex Caruso, man. Chill the out, bro. We don't need you killing, bro. Lock up. What you say?

[D.J. Wells]

He was lock up.

[Nacho]

I don't need 20 from you. I need 20 defensive sts.

[Bishop]

They need yesterday.

[Mook]

That Caruso, bro. I ain't going to lie.

[D.J. Wells]

Caruso boy cold kind of bro last night.

[Nacho]

I like Caruso, bro. But this is not your role to get a dub on this team.

[Mook]

They need somebody.

[D.J. Wells]

Not with jay Louise shooting 5 for 20. You better get it from somebody.

[Nacho]

Jalen lock in.

[Bishop]

He needed that 20, bro.

[Nacho]

Don't do it again.

[D.J. Wells]

26 assists and five steals. Al Sperson was not a problem.

[Nacho]

He played out of his body yesterday. You were gunning, bro. Getting these passing lanes, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Now, you didn't say nothing about Lou Door. Lou Dor shot the same Upshots he did.

[Nacho]

Lou Dor was sick, bro.

[Bishop]

I like the back of his head, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I can't wait till we should on give us some. Joker is out of pocket for doing him like that.

[Bishop]

Get the up off me, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Isaiah Hardenstein, solid game yesterday. Not enough. Chad Holmgren.

[Mook]

You gotta start Hardenstein and chat. You gotta put. You gotta put Hardenstein on him, bro. And then let check come help. You gotta start doubling. Even though Aaron Gordon made shots, you gotta start. You cannot let jokers just keep playing by himself, bro. He's too good, bro.

[Bishop]

Yeah, bro. You cannot let him keep doing it, bro.

[Mook]

You can't.

[D.J. Wells]

Especially in the first half when you he Dangor had 20 and 10 the first half, it just got more working, bro.

[Mook]

And you can't let Jalen Brunson ISO the bigs, bro. You got to start playing old NBA coverage, get into their body, fight over the screen, make them kick it to.

[Bishop]

Cat and them dudes make adjustments, bro. It's okay.

[Mook]

I seen Drew Holiday went back to his old way. He was like that. I ain't letting them ISO Cat no more. I mean, alone, I'm fighting over. I'm gonna go Traffic, bro. And they threw it back to Cat. They started getting turnovers. And I'm like, man, all this just switching, bro. People too good.

[D.J. Wells]

And respectfully, there's no reason we should be asking this about Horford, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

He is 40 years old. He should not be in ice. Like, what, competing too?

[Bishop]

That set me up for failure.

[Mook]

That's where Jalen Brunson got comfortable down then, bro.

[Nacho]

You always give excuses to the that.

[D.J. Wells]

Y'All like, bro, he is 47, bro. They got favorite.

[Mook]

Yeah, see, that's what I like about love, Al. But damn, y'all, that's what I like about Jerry Stackhouse. Cause he the defensive coordinator for the Warriors. He wasn't playing none of that. He like, we gonna trap that, Edoka. He like, we gonna trap that. We gonna get the ball. Somebody else gonna make a play. We ain't gonna just keep switching and let you cook somebody.

[Bishop]

It's how you coach, bro.

[Mook]

That's how Jalen Brown. What's his boy name that was, huh? Jalen Green. That's how he got. Had them bad games. They like, man, you had that good game. You had 30 something. We gonna get the ball out your hand. You're gonna see a different coverage, make.

[Bishop]

Somebody else beat you. Hey, Cat beat us, man. Not Jalen Bronson.

[Mook]

Yeah, no, I ain't about to let him ISO out the whole game.

And I was like, hey, y'all can disrespect him now because I guess whatever, how you feel, but don't ever disrespect. Bro, you need to watch that.

[Nacho]

He was cold for sure.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm just saying, bro, that's the best documentary. That was just some kid, bro.

[Mook]

[Bishop]

Elevator all across that.

[Mook]

[D.J. Wells]

I'm like, what, the legendary basketball documentary tap in, man. I think, yeah, Jimmy might be the most hated Minnesota. I would love to see who else.

[Mook]

They feel about that, but I'm probably strong.

[D.J. Wells]

Third.

[Bishop]

They hate you so much just because you went for what's her name?

[Mook]

[Nacho]

[Bishop]

I feel like it worked, bro. I think Chad just missed free throws.

[Nacho]

Yeah, we really won the game.

[Bishop]

He just missed free throws, bro. If he made the free throws, nobody would be saying okay, oh, do y'all.

[D.J. Wells]

Foul in that situation where they don't have a timeout at the end like that because you had Joker off the court. I know a lot of people have some thoughts about that. I just want to see how y'all feel. I know we skipped over that, but you think they played it right is what it is.

[Bishop]

But, like, he know how to channel his emotions, bro. Bro.

[Mook]

Why do that?

[D.J. Wells]

That's getting a dosage right there, man. They ain't had a dosage right yet.

[Nacho]

Now, that's one great. We talk about role players. He one of the greatest role players ever. Not Aaron Gordon, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

But why didn't he, bro, they got the same chips.

[Bishop]

And James Hard didn't want to give him a fight at all.

[Mook]

He could.

[Bishop]

Even if he could, he like, I'm cool, bro.

[Nacho]

The volume.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay. Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back, and Degree listened, and that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp, and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one men's antiperspirant. And it's back in Walmart, Target, and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart, Target, and try to OG cool rush for yourself.

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, Hesu 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. 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.
