Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Cavs Rout Pistons in Game 7 – Game Analysis

• Cavaliers dominated Detroit from start to finish:

  • Cleveland stormed out early and never looked back, advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.
  • Donovan Mitchell: “...the first guard since Kobe Bryant to resort a 25-5-5, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 0 turnovers in a Game 7.” (08:50)
  • James Harden: Quiet shooting night (2-10), yet finished +31 plus-minus.

• Other Cleveland Standouts:

  • Jared Allen: 23 points, highly aggressive play.
  • Evan Mobley: 21 points, 12 rebounds (double-double), “plus 31.”
  • Sam Merrill: Spark off the bench—23 points, 7-10 from 3, key factor compensating for Harden’s off night.

• Balanced Scoring, Team Win:

  • Cavaliers had six players with notable plus/minus, showing depth and resilience.

Notable Quotes:

• Joe Ocho on the team’s mindset:

  “For James Harden having a bad game, this is why they call it a team sport. Everybody else stepped up... Sam Merrill, boy, he showed out tonight...” (13:03)

• ISO Joe on the bigs:

  “If Evan Mobley and Jared Allen gonna play like this…they gonna be tough to beat. I, I, I. Kudos to Cleveland for coming in on the road...” (14:43)

---

2. What Went Wrong for Detroit?

• Pistons Lacked Energy and Support:

  • Detroit looked “lethargic and flat,” potentially emotionally drained after Game 6.
  • Cade Cunningham struggled (13 points, 5 turnovers) and lacked supporting help.
  • Others absent—including Tobias Harris, called out for inconsistency.

• Turnover Differential Was Crucial:

  • Harden/Donovan: 1 turnover combined, vs. Cade: 5.
  • “If Cade Cunningham plays bad, they’re not winning. They’re just not.” (17:41)

Notable Quotes:

• ISO Joe:

  “...if you can’t make a damn shot wide open in this league, bro, it’s gonna be hard to win with guys like that. I’m just keeping it real...” (15:14)

• Host/Moderator (Shannon Sharpe):

  “To whom much is given, much is required. You gotta take care of the ball...” (19:17)

---

3. Future for the Pistons: Roster Questions and “What Ifs”

• Detroit’s Limitations:
  • Need offensive firepower to supplement Cade.
  • Discussion of trade/roster options: adding an “AD-type big” dismissed due to injury history and consistency.
  • More plausible: seeking a “bona fide scorer” like Devin Booker to pair with Cade.

Key Exchange (re: Trades & Solutions):

• ISO Joe:

  “They need another guard who can really get money...I don’t know if it’s possible, but Devin Booker...You need a bona fide score next to Cade...” (29:11)

---

4. Knicks vs. Cavs: Looking Ahead

• Predictions and Matchups:

  • Ocho predicts: “Between the Knicks and the Cavs, okay, it’s going to seven. You hear me?...But it’s going seven in the Knicks favor...” (27:52)
  • Key matchup: Mobley’s aggression vs. NY’s frontcourt, impact of OG Anunoby's potential return.
  • Free throw disparity and concerns for Cleveland discussed (“Cleveland can’t make free throws...16 missed...that won’t cut it vs. NY”). (33:10-33:22)

• Rest/Fatigue Factor:

  • Knicks’ fresher legs, Cavs only one day of rest after emotional win, could mean an uneven Game 1.

Memorable Moment:

• Debate on “basketball knowledge” and playoff predictions, with friendly trash talk about Ocho’s underdog wins over the more seasoned analysts (29:30-31:40).

---

5. SGA Back-to-Back MVP – Context and Impact (49:10+)

• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Historic Run:

  • First guard since Steph Curry (2014-16) to win back-to-back MVP.
  • League-leading 64 wins for OKC, despite injuries.
  • Averaged 30 points on 55% shooting—the only guard ever to do so.

• Legacy Discussions—How High Can SGA Climb?

  • ISO Joe: “How high can he go up on the list? I think it’s going to determine in this next series...He’s gonna have to pull a rabbit out the hat against the Spurs.” (52:07)
  • Host: “Never...in my wildest imagination that I think he could be this. I thought he’d be a good player...this man’s gonna average four consecutive years and averaging 30 points shooting at the level that he’s shooting it at...Get the hell out of here.” (53:05)

Notable Numbers:

• Plus/minus: +788, best in league by 100+ points.
• Third player ever (after Wilt and Elgin Baylor) to score 20+ points in every game of a season.

Notable Quote:

6. Player Legacy Chats & NBA History Talk

• Comparing MVP campaigns, referencing Jordan, LeBron, Bird, Magic.
• Host: “I’m trying to go back to somebody that won back-to-back MVPs and back-to-back championships. It might have been Jordan.” (56:52)

---

7. Banter, Ball Knowledge, and “Friendly Flexes”

• Ocho’s playful one-upsmanship with his co-hosts, claiming superior basketball picks despite being “a late bloomer” in hoops (28:00-31:40).
• Extended riffing about car purchases, gift giving, and competitive sportsmanship (60:00-75:00).

Memorable Exchange:

• Joe Ocho:

  “Not only am I going to outdo you in your own game...Wait until I see you one on one.” (35:22)

• ISO Joe:

  “You saying you gonna outplay me, too?...this here me getting these picks wrong...don’t do nothing but piss me off for when I do see you.” (35:31)

8. Off-Court Stories and Lifestyle Humour

• Sidetracks about post-game routines, cars, and playful jabs about hygiene and giving luxury gifts (39:15+).
• Ocho’s unique gift-giving philosophy (“I’m tipping a thousand dollars even if your meal comes out to 60...they need that...”) (59:13).

Thank you so much again for your support and your vote. The Cavs got out to an early start and they never looked back. They didn't really get challenged after that first quarter, guys. They stepped on the gas and now, now they're into the Eastern Conference final. Donovan Mitchell reaches his first ever trip to the conference final. James Harden reaches his first trip to the Eastern Conference. The finals since 2018 is Cleveland's first. Wow. This is Cleveland first conference finals without LeBron James since 1992. James Harden was two of was two of 10 or six from the three, but he was still a plus 31. Everybody else really had to go and Donovan Mitchell is the first guard since Kobe Bryant to resort a 25. 5, 5, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 0 turnovers in a Game 7. But it was a balance score. Jared Allen was sensational tonight. He put the ball. He was very, very aggressive. 23 points. Evan Mobley aggressive, 21. A double double 21 and 12. Donovan Mitchell, he had 25 points, seven rebounds, eight assists. They got Sam Merrow, they put Max Str into the starting lineup, brought Sam Merrow off the bench and he was on fire from the three point line. It just. Detroit just didn't have it tonight. They couldn't stop, they couldn't get. They couldn't get stops and they couldn't make shots. That is a bad combination. OO and Joe in a game seven.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean it's a bad combination? Huh? Cause both of y' all picked Detroit to win the game, but no, yeah, yes you did. Because I don't know if it because they were playing at home, but I told you ahead of time. Listen, I can't compare when it comes to your ball knowledge, okay? But I use something called common sense and logic, understanding that at some point Donovan Mitchell has to beat Their narratives about the playoffs. James Harden has to beat the narratives about the playoffs. They did that tonight. Now, I told you they were going to do that long ago, but here we go in the next series. Neither one. Neither one of y' all want to listen, because that's me. Okay. You saw what happened tonight.

[Host/Moderator]

Yes.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Yes. Unk. It was a bad combination. I could have told you the combination was gonna happen before it happened.

[Host/Moderator]

Well, a lot of people gonna say the combination happened. Cause ABC tweet had it. Had it. Playing the Knicks versus the Cavaliers. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, that ain't that. Hey, that ain't got nothing to do with nothing. Them boys played bad tonight. Matter of fact, when you look at tonight, the energy was different. It felt like the Cavs had a home game. Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

You hear me?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Everybody. The way they played the game, the aggression, how aggressive they were. For James Harden having a bad game. For James Harden having a bad game. This is why they call it a team sport. Everybody else stepped up. That goddamn Sam Merrill, boy. He showed out tonight. He showed out tonight. Along with, you know, Allen and Mobley. Donovan Mitchell did what he needed, struck. He didn't get much from Struss, but the lack of production from James Hardenite, it was made up. With Sam Merrill playing the way he played tonight. He played one hell of a goddamn well.

[Host/Moderator]

I think the bigs also. Joe, I'm gonna let you slide in, but when you get 44 points, 19 rebounds from your big with seven assists, you're probably gonna win that game. Both guys shot over 50% from the floor. Both guys. Evan Mobley was plus 31. James Harden plus 31. Donovan Mitchell plus 17. Max Struts plus plus 11. Jared Allen plus nine. Dean Wade plus 17. I mean, so when you. When. When one of your stars is off, okay, who. Where are we gonna get. Where are we gonna get the production that we normally get from our star? Hey, everybody say I got some slack. Hey, J, what you got on that, man? I got a 20 piece. All right, I'll take that. Hey, Sam. Mer, what you got? He's. I got something on your.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I got a 20 piece, too.

[Host/Moderator]

And that was. You know, the difference was Cleveland played really well. Detroit played bad. I mean, they couldn't stop anybody. Look how they was going to the basket. Sam Merrill was putting the ball on the floor, getting to the basket, getting a ones. Jared Allen taking the ball from the top of the key, spinning. Joe ain't going down the lane, dunking the basketball. That ain't how Detroit normally plays.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Defense.

[Host/Moderator]

Go ahead, Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Man, if Evan Mo, Evan Mobley and Jared Allen gonna play like this, Uncle Ojo. Hey, man, they gonna be tough to beat. I, I, I. Kudos to Cleveland for coming in on the road. I felt Detroit exerted so much energy in that game six, you know what I mean? It was such an emotional win for them that tonight they didn't even. They look so lethargic and flat, bro. Like I'm talking about from the start. From the start of the game, it seems like Cleveland were more desperate. You know, they wanted the game more. Maybe because they squandered away, you know, obviously being able to advance on their home court in game six, but they played more desperate. They had guys out there who were doing any and everything they could to put their stamp on the game. Hey, look what we talk about the others, you look at Sam Merle, the guy came in, bro, 23.7 to 10, shooting 5 for 8 from 3. Hey, you need them type of, you know, you need them type of games from guys so you can get over the hump, bro. So James can be pedestrian in a game like this, you know what I mean? But man, if Mobley and Allen playing like this, I, I think, honestly, Ocho, I know I picked Detroit. I know I picked Detroit to win this series. Yes, sir, this game. But I much rather see Cleveland playing against the Knicks with these two bigs. Hopefully they get, hopefully, hopefully they took something from this, bro. You know, the, the aggression that Mobley and Allen played with tonight, Uncle Oo, I just felt this was their best game of the series, bro. I, I've never seen them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never seen them play with this type of thrust. They was going at their, man, like they were just playing harder than the Pistons, bro. And the Pistons, Uncle Ocho, that damn Thompson kid. I, I love, I love his energy, his effort and everything that he brings, but damn it, if you can't make a damn shot wide open in this league, bro, it's gonna be hard to win with guys like that. I'm just keeping it real, bro.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, and listen, K didn't have no help tonight. Where was Tobias Harris?

[Host/Moderator]

Well, he went back to Berris again.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

This is, this is.

[Host/Moderator]

He went back to being Tobias Harris. I don't know. He was impersonating Kobe, so. I don't know. I don't. He must have thought it was Halloween and he dressed up as to buy. Cause he was dressed up as some other player.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, hey, listen, hold on. You talking about where were these dudes at man, to me, from. From my eye, it just seemed like they were. They were. They was just dead in the water. Tired, bro. Outside of Jenkins, Duncan, Robinson and Lavert, even K, he looked like he was. Like he was bogged down in time. Like, they just didn't have it, bro. Like, I'm telling you. I don't know if it was because it was such an emotional win in Game 6 that when they came home, they kind of had a letdown, but they just looked. They looked out of it tonight, fellas. Enduring. I mean, hell, it's hard. It's hard to win when you don't have a lot of offensive firepower and you depending on one guy to really carry you, bro. You know, I. Hey, hey, the Pistons, they gotta look themselves in the mirror this summer, man. They got some decisions they gotta make, some important ones, too.

[Host/Moderator]

They're not good enough. They're not good enough, Joe. I mean, we can. We can. Look, they didn't play good tonight, but if they get past or. I don't think they're ready to win a championship, they got too many holes. Cade has to be great, and I'm not talking about good. He has to be great with Mary every single game for them to have a chance. If he plays bad, they're not winning. It's really that simple. We see James Harden play bad, they won. If Cade plays bad, they're not winning. And there are a lot of other teams that have. Have guys that if they play bad, shake and play bad and they can still win. Oh, can play bad. And you have Murray and you have other guys. If Cade Cunningham plays bad, they're not winning. They're. They're just. They're just not. And again, Joe, he. He's got. Joe, I don't know what he needs to do, and I know he. Joe, but he got to start taking. He got to take care of the ball, Joe. He go. If he doesn't start taking care of the ball better, you know what he's gonna do, Joe? He's gonna find himself in a. Like James Harden.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

Cause the turnover. Look at. Look at what? What. How many turnovers did James Harden have tonight? One plus 31. Even though he only had nine points the other night, he had seven. Eight. The games they lost. Look at the number of turnovers they have. Look at the game. Look at Harden's turnovers, the games they lost. Look at Harden's turnovers. He. Kaden, got a better job of just taking care of the bat. I understand they put a lot on your plate. To whom much is given, much is required.

[Amazon Health AI Announcer]

Much is required.

[Host/Moderator]

You gotta take care. You gotta take care of the ball you got. And if Thompson you are phenomenal defensive player, you're going to be in the running, you're going to be on all NBA defensive selection and you're going to potentially win defensive player of the year. But you are an absolute liability.

[Host/Moderator]

ain't no way around it. And I told you before I let you go, Joe. I told you. I said Evan Mobley got a decided advantage on Tobias Harris.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yes.

[Host/Moderator]

Punished him down low.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, punished him, had his mind made up.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, enough. He said enough. He like Reggie in clumps. He said, I used to like Black, now I gotta attack Black. I used to like Jabari, now I gotta attack him.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Yeah. The funny thing about it, too, is as I look at Cade and you talk about the turnovers and him understanding, you know, I got to put this team on my back because I don't have much help. Tobias Harris is. He's so inconsistent. You don't know what he's gonna give you from game to game. I think that's part of the reason where some of the turnovers are coming from because Cade has to exert so much energy. So much energy. And obviously, Unc. You know how it is when fatigue sets in, that's when you start to make mistakes.

[Host/Moderator]

You're right.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I think I'm seeing that. I think I'm seeing that from Cade a lot in this series, just in general, when he's having to take ball games over. Because I think Tobias Harris in the off season, you say they need to make some. They have some decisions to make, but who's out there? Think about it. If Cade's having a bad game, who's out there that you can go get that. That can connect, that can assure you, you know, you can get points and they can take over game when Kate is not having a. Not having a good game, huh?

[Host/Moderator]

Goat James. Hey, in Detroit, it's.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

It's some. It's. It's some guys out there, Ocho, who can help Detroit. I mean, listen.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I mean, I mean, obviously there are guys that can help, but I'm saying not to the extent. Not. Not the same as you see a Shay go out and, oh, you ain't got to worry about nothing. Know, collectively as a team, they're so great all the way. All the way across the board. I mean, Detroit is not built like that.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I think Detroit is built on defense. You know, that's what they hung their hat on pretty much this whole season. This is how they won 60 games. They're just not an offensive juggernaut to where, you know, you expect them to have four or five guys with 20 plus points. They just. It's not going to happen. Hell, I don't think it's pretty much happened the whole season. And Unc, you right, K has to be extra special, bro. Night in and night out, just for them to even be in the damn game. You know what I mean? For him having a pedestrian game like this, a bad game, you, you have no chance of winning this ball game, bro. It's gonna look like you have zero chance. Yeah, it is.

[Host/Moderator]

He get 13 points with five turnovers. You're gonna lose by damn near 30. If I, I wish.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Every time. Every time. And then you look at Donovan and James Harden tonight. Kudos. I know Jameson had a best game offensively.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Yeah.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

But, bro, one turnover. Donovan, zero turnovers. Hell, every game they done lost, they've been over five, six, seven turnovers, bro.

[Host/Moderator]

A piece.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You know, and so hopefully, you know, they can take this game plan into New York because it's virtually pretty much the same team. They got guys who are high energy defensively and, you know, their defense create offensive opportunities, so they got to take care of the basketball. But damn, Detroit squandered away a great chance, bro. Get Cleveland credit, man. Coming into that hostile environment, Game seven, they just, they controlled the entire game. The entire game.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, from, from the, from the start. Start to finish, Joe. Start to finish. And, and let me, let me tell y' all something. I, I, I know, I know y', all, y' all know the game a lot better than I do. Y' all been watching it for a very long time. Unc, when it come to you, you know, you know basketball from the 50s and 60s, 70s, 80s. No. To the 2000s. But now, but I'm telling you right now, ahead of time, y' all need to start listening to me when it comes to my basketball knowledge and iq. You hear me?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Between the Knicks and the Cavs, okay, it's going to seven. You hear me?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

It's going seven.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I'm telling you right now, it's going seven. But it's going seven in the Knicks favor now. Now you do it. That you do with that what you will. And that goes for everybody in the chat, too. Listen to me when I tell you I haven't been wrong all series long since the playoffs started. And that's for a reason.

[Host/Moderator]

Hey, listen, let me know. Let me ask you this. What if they made a move? What if they got AD A big that can score, can defend and pair him with, carry him with cut Cade.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, they need something like that. Oh, yeah, they need. Hey, hey, My, my question would be, hell, what Type of shape 80 gonna be in? Hell, is he gonna be healthy enough to give us at least, let's say 60 games? I ain't asking for 82, you know,

[Host/Moderator]

can you give us 65? 65, Joe.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hold on, hold on. How about, how about we do this, Joe? And I'm. Let me, let's say you want 80, right? You want to die in Detroit, right? When's the last time he gave you 60 games? Let's, let's start there.

[Host/Moderator]

I don't think, I don't know if he gave us this year, Joe, he might not gave us 20.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Okay, okay. Not this year. Last year. How many games did he give us last year?

[Host/Moderator]

I hurt soon as he got there. What you call them? And then he got in and they shut him down, so. It's been a minute. It's been a minute, though, Joe.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Yeah, that. I, I don't think, I don't think that's the answer, Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

But Ocho, we. Listen, my thing is, if you, if you, if you're a player who's been hurt a lot like this, bro, you, you gotta really take control of your nutrition and your in, in your workouts, bro. I think that's everything. I, I, you know, for me, when I seen AD Coming to camp last year with, with the Mavericks, he just looked out of shape. He, he looked, he looked a little heavy in the, in the face and in his body. I just think you cannot come into camp trying to get into shape. This basketball, bro, it's too much running, it's too many soft tissue injuries that, that can possibly happen when you trying to get in shape like that. Hopefully he's learned his lesson. But for me, Unc, I like, I, I wouldn't mind AD But I think they need another guard who can really get money. Like, I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't know if it's possible, but Devin Booker, maybe you package up a couple of these guys and try and go get Devin Booker, bro. You need a bonafide score next to Cade, man. Yeah, you gotta go get a bona fide.

[Host/Moderator]

Doesn't want to leave the Clippers.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Well, hey, hey, hey.

[Host/Moderator]

Damn.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

He don't want to leave. If the Clippers get rid of. Hey, if the Clippers ready to get rid of his ass, he got to go. Hey, hey, hey, look, they, they. I know the Clippers probably trying to prepare for the future, you know, get a lot of graphics, young cats, young assets to where they can, you know, some way somehow find a Way to compete over the next couple years, bro. In. In that beautiful arena that they got.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, you know what I mean? Nobody else gonna say it out loud, but I say it out loud. Y' all need to get y' all ball knowledge up like me.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, man, here we go.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

You hear me? Hey, as much as y', all, you know I respect y'. All. You hear me? I love y', all, too. Like brothers, right?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

But y' all need to get your basketball knowledge up like me, because the fact that y' all know the game better than I do, and I'm sort of a late bloomer, like, I lost my virginity at 27, and I know the game a little bit better than y'.

[Host/Moderator]

All.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

When it. When it comes to figuring out the outcomes of these series, I mean, that. That's. That's. I mean, that's beyond me.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, it's like a. It's like a. It's like a dude shooting dice for the first time who ain't never really shot dice. His ass lucky as hell he hitting all the points. You know what I'm saying? That's what it is, Ocho.

[Host/Moderator]

You really.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You really just guessing on. On the cool. But you. You know what I'm saying? You making some good guesses. You make.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Time out, time out, time out, time out, time out, time out, time out. So let me get this right. So I beat y' all ass in March Madness.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

No, no, no, no. Let me finish.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Let me finish. Now, come. Now I come to basketball season, NBA. I'm beating you in that, too. And you still think it's luck?

[Host/Moderator]

You pick Logan, you pick mascots. See?

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Okay, okay, so what I'm picking now.

[Host/Moderator]

But, hey, what about football? With your knowledge.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

What about football?

[Host/Moderator]

Your football knowledge.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Oh, hold on, hold on. When it comes to football knowledge, I bet with my heart, huh? When it comes. When it comes to basketball knowledge, I bet with my mind.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey.

[Host/Moderator]

And that.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

You see how that work?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

And that's. That's been my problem with basketball. I've been bending with my heart this whole post season. Now I got. I got to step it up. I got to get it together. It's nut cutting time now.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Okay, let me. Let me see. Let me see how much you've learned from me so far. Joe, the Cavs are playing in the Eastern Conference finals, right?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Who you got in that series?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I got the Knicks. Oh, Joe.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Okay, about, you know, you learn, you know what? Where you going places?

[Host/Moderator]

What?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Huh?

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Where you go are you going? Hey, who you got?

[Host/Moderator]

I'm Taking the Knicks. But if, oh, if Og was healthy, I'd take him in five.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Okay, okay. But, oh, Og gonna be back this series, though. I talked to OG. No, no, listen to me. I talked to OG he said he'll be back by game two.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Man, listen, sometimes less is more. Man, they play great without OG if we just, you know, keeping it 100. I ain't saying that they ain't gonna need him to win, you know, to win a title, but I don't really think. I don't really think they should rush him back. I think Harden and Bridges have been playing great. Hell, they gonna cause a lot of havoc for James and Donovan in this series here coming up.

[Host/Moderator]

Don't go crazy.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, man, Ocho, when you. Hey, when I look at this game, look at the free throw disparity.

[Host/Moderator]

Cleveland can't make free throw. They missed 16, Joe Ocho.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, my. 63. 63 from the free throw line, bro.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, they missed 16 free throws and they're good. I mean, think about it. Alan missed six, Mobley missed five, J. Donovan missed. Donovan missed two. James missed three. At one point, James had made like 32 straight. And as soon as they put that graph up there, he fell apart. He missed like 10 of his next 15. Cause remember, he missed the free throw. He ended up getting his rebound. Remember, Joe?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, he missed.

[Host/Moderator]

He played the first one.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

Missed the second one, got the rebound, went to the free throw line and missed it and made it. Missed another one.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, they can. Hey, look and know if they. If they even looking to complete compete with New York, bro. Them free. Them free throws don't come in handy. They got to make.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, because what you call. Because you know, Brunson getting to the free throw line, if he don't do nothing else, he don't get the free throw line on you.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, and that's the thing. It's like, damn, they ain't got nobody. Brunson fell.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

No, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Don't do that. Don't do that. Cuz even the teams that had somebody go out, Brunson couldn't do nothing with him. You remember. Remember what you said? Remember what you said about Eskim?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, man.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Remember what you said about Eskim?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

He said he was the answer. Huh?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

He was a little wet.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

He was the big body Brunson stopper. Didn't you.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

He looked.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Oh, oh, now he went behind the ears.

[Host/Moderator]

Okay, nobody say no Bronson. Hey, that's how you Say how you make stuff up. Joe, he give. He get a couple games right now. He. Now he want to be on the app. A couple talking about call me for pigs.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

You know the game better than me. You can. You can. You can teach me the game. You hear me?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

The fact that I'm beating you at your own game, what does that tell you? What? Huh?

[Host/Moderator]

You make so not only.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hold on. Let me tell you something. Not only am I going to outdo you in your own game when it comes to this show, right? Yeah. Wait until I see you one on one.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You saying you gonna outplay me, too?

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Outplay you, too, boy. Cause listen, I'm out thinking you right now. When we get on the court, I'm out think you there, too.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Ocho, you ain't got a chance, bro. I mean, I understand you feeling. I understand you feeling good and all that, but this. Hey, this here me getting these pics wrong. Don't do nothing but piss me off for when I do see you. To give you hell. Give you pure hell.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Yo, this is the funny thing. You can't play. You can't play well. Pissed off. That's why I' ma talk to you. Once you piss off and frustrated, you're gonna be like Thompson, you gonna get. You gonna foul out.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey. I'm like Wimby. I'll be with the Monks, baby. You ain't gonna be able to do nothing.

[Host/Moderator]

You ain't gonna be able to do. You gonna be able to do nothing. You got it right.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hold tight, boy. Hold tight.

[Host/Moderator]

You know what I'm saying? This is kind of like the other. Other Game seven, Western Conference final Game seven. I mean, game six, we thought it was going. I said. I apologize. I said game seven. But game six, yes, with the T. Wolves and the spurs and. Yes, sir, the opposing team, the team that went. The road team came in and beat the brakes off him. And the game wasn't really close. And this was the same situation, and it was a perfect example. It was a perfect combination. When nobody play you. What? What'd you get from Rudy? Nothing. What'd you Get. What'd you get from Drew Randall? Nothing. And then you got Wimby, you got Stefan Castle, you got Dylan Harper, you got all those guys played well. And guess what you got. You got a 30 point victory. Well, you got a 31 point victory tonight.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, there you go. If.

[Host/Moderator]

If you're at home and your guys, you got. I mean, look, I don't think they really counting on anything. Anything that Gobert gives you offensively, you graciously accept you looking at him to, you know, get you about three or four block shots, alter some other shots, get your double digit rebounds, give you some second chance opportunities. But if he gives you 8, 10 points, you like, oh my goodness.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

But Drew Randall, you expecting 15 to 20 from Jew on a nightly basis. And he was horrible.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I agree.

[Host/Moderator]

Ain't no way around it.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

He was, he was, man. He was. It was.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

Ocho, you need to go ahead. You should have showered with the Ocho.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know what's more important than showering? Making sure I sit in front of the TV and I watch the entirety of the Cavs and Pistons game. And then once the game ends, I'm on here to talk about this.

[Host/Moderator]

Huh?

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

That's more important.

[Host/Moderator]

Oh, Joe, you don't hear that battery? That smoke? Detective, take the battery out.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Oh, you can hear it?

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, we can hear it. How you think I'm able to tell you? Oh, Joe, take the battery out.

[Host/Moderator]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Matter of fact, baby, baby, I know you watching. Bring, bring me the ladder, please. The little step ladder.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, here he go. Hey, listen.

[Host/Moderator]

Huh?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I think Cleveland coming into this game seven, they had a real talk with Mobile and Allen because I noticed, I noticed that the pick and roll was set a lot higher tonight than what it's normally been. Meaning it probably they came up way beyond the three point line and said the pick and roll so Donovan and, and James can have more room to operate off the pick and roll. And they were more playmakers tonight than anything. You know what I mean? Yeah. Donovan had 26, but he has some hell of a passes. I thought James has some hell of a passes because Detroit was trapping the pick and roll. And out of the pick and roll, when we throw it out, the pick and roll, the Allen, the Mobley, we need y' all to go make a play, man. They making plays all night.

[Host/Moderator]

They was doing Allen getting down there, banging Mobley getting all the way down. And I was like, hold on. When we was talking about this, I said, Joe Mobley, I said, if you look at the matchup, okay, if you take Duran, he plays Allen, that means Tobias Harris got to pay Mobley. Mobley is 7 foot. Tobias is 6, 7, 6, 8. He has a decided advantage. He's a guy, he should have been playing like this the entire series. Put his ass down on your back and said, son, I'm finna work you. You finna get this work.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

And tonight that's what he did. He wasn't selling for no. He wasn't selling for no. 3, even though he shot four, which was four more that I would like to see. But I thought he was really, really aggressive.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah. And hey, look, he gotta take this confidence into this next series because he's gonna be the difference maker. Who, who, who does the Knicks have playing? The four they normally would have played next year. Yeah. So if he ain't playing, then who he probably gonna have guarding him?

[Host/Moderator]

I would. Because you're probably gonna have, you're gonna have heart and, and, and, and, and

That's. It's gonna be interesting because you can't.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

It's probably gonna be hard.

[Host/Moderator]

You can't play. You can't play Mitchell and Robinson and Nope, nope.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

They may. They may try one game if, if you know things don't go don't, don't go as planned. But I feel like Mobley gonna have a mismatch every night even if he got Josh Hart gardening.

[Host/Moderator]

Oh yeah.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You know if he take advantage and be aggressive like he was tonight, man. Listen, they. I mean they got a chance to make this a series. But I just think due to the rest that the Knicks have had and due to Cleveland coming off a seven game series, obviously an emotional win. Game seven one day of rest going into New York. Good luck they might get the dose blew off their ass Game one They

[Host/Moderator]

better find a way to shut down Bronson cause he he licking his chop. He said this is the closest I ever been.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh they got a chance bro. They got a real chance to get to the finals.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah and SGA won his second consecutive NF NBA Most Valuable Player, becoming the 14th player to win back to back MVPs in league history. That honor was overshadowed by Shams announced at 12 hours before the award that the NBA posted promoting the announcement. Some are giving Sean the benefit of the doubt saying he accidentally scheduled it for an AM instead of a PM. One thing for sure, Sean's gonna spoil an MVP announcement for prime and NBA and I'm sure they aren't happy about that. I think it's because Sean's had free scheduled tweet but confused with AM and PM it was supposed to be announced at 7:30pm blah blah blah but instead it was tweeted at 7:30am FGA back to back MVP notes ESPN research number one seed NBA high 64 wins despite the third most third most teams game missed due to injuries the first player to win consecutive MVPs since Nikola Jokic did it in 2021202221 through 22 the first guard to win consecutive MVPs since Stephen Curry did it in 2014-2016. The first guard to average 30 points on 55 shooting in NBA history. He joined Michael Jordan as the only players to average 30 points 5 assists on 50 shooting in four consecutive seasons in league history. He did not did not score below 20 points in all games this season. He's the third player to score 20 plus points in every game of the season. Wilt did it in 61 62, 63 64. Elgin did it in 61 62. The plus, the plus minus. The plus 78 in one season is a hundred points better. This oh Well I say 688. Okay the 788 on the season. As far as plus minus he's a plus 788 is a hundred points better than the next closest player which is Victor Wimbanyama at 682. I don't think it was a surprise. I know yoke average a triple double. He was sensational. There are a lot of guys that was that was deserving But I think Shay, given what this team was able to do, 60 plus 64 wins again, the 30 points again 35 and basically shooting 55% and average 30, which is no guard has ever shot that from the floor in the 80 year NBA history. So he's done something nobody has ever done. A lot of stuff you see that done. Wilt did it twice, Elgin did it that great 61, 62 season where everybody had what's had crazy numbers. But what do we say back to back MVPS now when it's all said now he Joe the next five, seven years. How high can he go on the list?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I. I think first off it was well deserving. You know, congrats to Shay. Back to back MVPs. How high can he go up on the list? I think it's going to determine in this next series if you want me to keep it 100 with you. This is probably going to be his biggest task. You know, even, even playing against Indiana last year in the finals. I think we all figured that they would beat Indiana and Indiana made it a series. But I think a lot of us has mixed feelings about this spurs and Thunder series that's coming up. And Shay didn't have to be great against the Lakers, but damn it, I tell you what, he gonna have to pull a rabbit out the hat against the Spurs. He gonna have to be special against these boys. They got too many weapons, bro. Too many guys who they, they're built just like okc. A bunch of guys who can go off the dribble, guys who can catch and shoot. I mean they got the defensive player of the year. It's. This is gonna be a tough matchup for okc. I still have OKC winning this though.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah. I mean when you look, we never in my wildest imagination that I think he could be this. I thought he'd be a good player. I thought he averaged 20 point. I did average 20, 22 points a game. You know, watched him a little bit and when he's at the Clippers, watched him when he was early on in his career when he was with okc. But if you're gonna tell me this man's gonna average four consecutive years and averaging 30 points shooting at the level that he's shooting it at. Get the hell out of here. That man, they shoot they man 30 points.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

You see what I mean? You know what I mean? That's why y' all need to listen to me.

[Host/Moderator]

Ain't nobody.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hold on, listen. When I, when he was with the Clippers, I'M I'm the first one that stood on the table 10 toes and said, listen, that young bull gonna be special. I saved him average 25. I said it, Joe. I was the first one to say, I'm the first one on record to say, I don't understand why they let them go. Kawhi. I understand because it's Kawhi. He coming off a championship and all that. But this young bull is going to be special. He could change the trajectory of the Cliff and franchise if they keep him and just be patient. But no, they didn't want to listen. They didn't want to listen to me.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Well, listen, I saw this.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I saw this long ago.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Listen, we are prisoners of the moment right now. But at that current time, when they traded him Ocho, they wanted. Kawhi, wanted Paul George. Paul George was playing out of his damn mind at that point, you know what I mean?

[Host/Moderator]

I think he finished real high up on the MVP voting, Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

He was special, bro. I ain't gonna lie. So I, I can kind of see where Kawhi was going when he's like, damn, if I'm going back home, play for the Clippers. I want y' all to bring Paul Jones. I can see that. I understand that. I'm not, you know, living in this moment right now to where we say, damn, well, Paul George has been pedestrian. That was a bad trade at the time. I. I don't really, I don't look at it like that, bro. I think as time went on, the guy has. I mean, hell, look what he's done over the past three, four years, man, at OKC.

[Host/Moderator]

Meaning average of 30, dude shooting 50 back to back MVPs. Finals MVP with a championship has an opportunity to go back to back. I mean, what. Jordan did that. Hold on.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

LeBron.

[Host/Moderator]

LeBron did it in 12 and 13. He won back to back MVP and Finals MVPs. I think Jordan did it. I don't think Bird didn't do it. Bird won three consecutive 84, 85. But Bird never won back to back MVPs. They went 81, 84, 86. If you remember, Jordan Magic, them beat them in 85 after the Memorial Day massacre. They lost by like 35 points. And everybody thought it was over. And then Kareem come back and Kareem dominated the rest of the series. So I'm trying to think, oh, I

[ISO Joe Johnson]

mean, I'm trying to check this out.

[Host/Moderator]

I don't even know if Magic did it. He might hold 87, 88, Magic 100, 87, 88. They won back to back. He knew he won. He won because Magic won. No, Jordan. The Jordan. When did Jordan win? Okay, 89, 90. But they didn't win. But they didn't win the championship. They didn't win the championship either year because Detroit beat them in 89. Because Detroit won back to back. Yeah, and then 87. Hey, listen, Magic won the MVP in 87. And. And then Jordan won the MVP in 88 because Jordan had. If I'm not mistaken, Jordan had the historic year where he averaged like 37. Joe. Yeah, I'm trying to think. I'm trying to go back to. Go back to somebody that won back to back MVPs and back to back championships. It might have been Jordan. You might have go back to. Got to go back to Jordan and 91. 92.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

Or maybe

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

90.

[Host/Moderator]

No. Yeah, 97. 92. Because Barkley wanted in 93. And then Carl Malone snuck in there and wanted one of them years. The car balloon wanted in 97 over the 98.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

And that. Yeah, that. Hey, that pissed Jordan off. That's why he bust both of their ass up in the finals. Hey, listen, check this out. Hey, we got to get a Canadian some love, bro. Drake then dropped three damn albums. He killing the job. Hell, Shadow won back to back damn MVPs. I'm thinking to myself, damn, Shay bought them boys Rolexes last year. Hell, he bought them ap. Damn. Yeah, yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

Hey, we do something. I'm get y' all ap. AP autograph. Hey, hey, Adrian Peterson's autograph.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

That's.

[Host/Moderator]

That's the AP that y' all gonna get.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

[Host/Moderator]

Do you.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, you. You think. You think. You think Shay did something nice?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You gonna be at the top of ap, man.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

But I'm giving you something with four wheels and a steering wheel, boy. You hear me?

[Host/Moderator]

[ISO Joe Johnson]

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, hey, one thing about it, you know, when I give gifts, boy, I don't play about that, boy. You hear me?

[Host/Moderator]

I mean, hey, if.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

If. If I'm lying, I'm playing.

[Host/Moderator]

Well, you know, I need to make a call. I need to call to see what type of gifts you normally be giving. You normally give.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Oh, I. Oh, I. I get giving that if. How about this? Hey, Joe, think about this, Joe. Hey, I'm thinking about this real quick.

[Host/Moderator]

Think.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Think about the way I tip the service industry and people I only. I don't even know, Right? What you think I'm gonna do for y' all to show my appreciation, huh?

[Host/Moderator]

What we talking about, Joe? Make this make sense. He'll t. He'll tip a stranger 500,000, 1500. He been knowing me. I can't even get my little paper.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, man.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, this. This is the difference, though. Hey, Joe, you got to understand, Joe, this. This the service industry. You hear me? Joe? Joe, listen to me.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I'm not. I'm not in a position of power to change minimum wage. You hear me?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Right, Right.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I make do just so when I go eat at a restaurant.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I don't care how your service is because I already know the. You'd have had to deal with before I got there.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

I'm temp you a thousand dollars or

[ISO Joe Johnson]

better every time, even if your meal come out to 60.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Joe. I don't care, because they need that. They got to live off that.

[Host/Moderator]

I need my meal.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Joe, listen, Unc rich, man.

[Host/Moderator]

Unc rich.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

You know, uncle, he ain't hurting. Hey, hey, hey, Joe, if Unc really need that 5,900, man. Here, man, take the t. Take that little change. You feel me?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I think he really did it, though. I think he wanted. I mean, to have it in his pocket.

[Host/Moderator]

Time, you know? Time, time, time. You know what I'm saying?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

I mean, it's easy. They used to be Joe and Ocho. Yeah.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Hey, hey, Joe just went to a legging game. It cost150,000 to sit courtside.

[Host/Moderator]

No, you ain't. No, you saw that. Hey, you saw the next ticket. I bet he ain't mentioned no more about no damn next ticket, Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, I bet he ain't.

[Host/Moderator]

Then what court size ticket going for at Knicks game?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

How much are they? About six.

[Host/Moderator]

I sent you the thing. 150. Oh, they had. So they had something like 60. They had a couple for, like, 150

[ISO Joe Johnson]

also.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Oh, that's why Josh Hardy hit me back. Okay, I get it.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

They gonna get it, too.

[Host/Moderator]

Hey, think about it. Think about how long.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hold on.

[Host/Moderator]

They were in the. They were in the Eastern Conference finals last year, right? Indiana beat them.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

So they was like. And they think. You know how the Knicks think. Anytime they get this far, they Thinking they going all the way.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Hey, hey, listen, though. But they got a damn good chance because see, by. By Cleveland winning, New York has home court advantage on the Ocho. So the first two games gonna be in New York versus. If they'd have played Detroit, they had to travel to Detroit. So I. I think there's a great chance that. That the Knicks could advance to the finals and play either OKC or the Spurs. But I don't think it's gonna be that easy playing against the Cavs. I think the first game might be a little lopsided due to. I'm saying the first game, Ocho probably gonna be a little lopsided. Knicks gonna win. I'm saying they gonna beat the Cavs first game because I just feel like due to the travel and the one game arrest. Hell, they finna. It's Sunday, bro. They play Tuesday.

[Joe Ocho (Joe)]

Okay. Hey, I just want to make sure you're on point with your decision making, Joe, because you've been real bad the past few weeks.

[Host/Moderator]
