Learn [e-mail] Ready the South Carolina Lady Gamecocks beat the Yukon Huskies 62 to 48 in the final seconds. You Gino Oriemma approached Don Staley for a post game handshake and then angrily got in her face before Don started firing back. The two were separated, but Don kept shouting towards the bench before walking away. Geno walked off to the tunnel alone. In his postgame news conference, Gino said he was frustrated because he waited three minutes for a pregame handshake with Don. He also said he did not regret the comments he made to Holly Row during the broadcast about the lack of files against South Carolina. Said Don Ransom raves at the officials and call referees some names you don't want to hear. Clearly someone got through the Gino because this morning he issued a statement saying there are no excuses for how handled the end of the game versus South Carolina. It's unlike what I do and what our standard is here at Connecticut. I want to apologize to the staff and the team at South Carolina. It was uncalled for, how I reacted. The story should have been how well South Carolina played, and I don't want my actions to distract from that. I have a great relationship with their staff and I sincerely want to apologize to them. Geno Oreyama. Well, I'm glad you apologized because we about to tear your ass up, Gino. But anyway, Ocho Joe, we still gonna

[Ocho]

tear his ass up?

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Ocho]

He was dead wrong.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Hey.

[Uncle Joe]

Dead wrong. Hey, Uncle Joe, listen, as a coach, especially a winning coach like Gino, you have to be able. You should understand and you know how to learn how to win with grace and lose the grace. When you beat Ms. Staley last time, you was all smiles, happy hugs, ready to, you know, whatever it may be. And the fact that you say some things to Holly Row and saying that in the game that Don Staley probably influenced the rest because you. Y' all guys didn't get the calls necessary. Listen, South Carolina, they didn't just beat y'.

[Joe]

All.

[Uncle Joe]

They dominated in every aspect of the game.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

They played great defense.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

It just did. That wasn't a. That wasn't getting beat. That was getting your ass whipped.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

That's all it was. I mean, listen, your team got embarrassed. You got to be able to lose with grace as well.

[Joe]

Okay.

[Uncle Joe]

You didn't get the three minute handshake or you waited three minutes before, you know, pregame, and you didn't. What is that?

[Joe]

That had. So you still. She. She did take the whole joke. Yeah, she shook his hand in.

[Uncle Joe]

In pregame.

[Joe]

Well, why do you Say yes before the game.

[Ocho]

She shook his hand, man.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, so he's upset he had to wait three minutes. Is that. Why bring that up?

[Joe]

He's upset. He was the favorite. They blew South Carolina out last year. They were favored. They got two all American. First team All American.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

They might have the player of the year in Sarah Strong.

[Uncle Joe]

Sarah a. She. Nice.

[Joe]

But. But South Carolina beat him.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And so this is. I'm. I was. I thought I was gonna win. I was supposed to win, and I got beat. Yeah. That's what this was about. This was a sore loser.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Yeah. Damn. Handshake.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Undefeated season, you know, he was something, bro. He was something. And how about not just apologizing to the coaching staff, you know, Give a personal apology to Don Staley. You know what I mean? Like, bro, for you to get in her face like that and talk stuff to her after the game, man, just congratulate and move on. I understand. You know, in the heat of the battle, you know, we.

[Joe]

We.

[Ocho]

We get a little pissed off. You know, like I said, he was on the brink to having an undefeated season. Unc and Ocho.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

And like. Like, Unc said he was a heavy favorite, but, man, them girls from South Carolina, they just outplayed them.

[Joe]

They rolled ca.

[Ocho]

They outplayed. They dogged him. They dogged him, and he couldn't take it. He couldn't take it.

[Joe]

No, no, don't say South Carolina. You didn't do that to South Carolina. You was in Don Staley's place. Apologize. Say, you know what? I want to apologize to the staff. And. And I want to personally apologize to Don St. Hello? Now, you told a lie because you said you had a great relationship with the staff. You don't. You said before they asked you after the game, do you have a relationship? You said, no.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Joe]

So were you lying then or you lying now?

[Ocho]

Right, right.

[Joe]

Hey, you know what? Whoever.

[Uncle Joe]

Whoever wrote that apology to Uncle Joe Fat GPT.

[Joe]

Allegedly.

[Zach]

That.

[Uncle Joe]

That, too. And he know if you're gonna apologize to something.

[Joe]

Allegedly.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. If you're gonna apologize to someone, you apologize to the person you had the altercation with.

[Joe]

That's what I have.

[Uncle Joe]

An altercation with the staff.

[Ocho]

That's what I'm saying.

[Uncle Joe]

You didn't have an altercation with the entire entity of South Carolina.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

That apology been directed straight to Don Staley and nobody else.

[Ocho]

Yeah. And. And. And the fact that he was dead wrong. Talking about, oh, my player got a ripped jersey. Hell, she ripped her own Damn jersey. Yeah. 40 years.

[Joe]

And I've never had a player ripped jersey. Well, I guess you never had a player get that upset then. Cause she ripped that on her own damn jersey.

[Ocho]

Like, just damn wrong. Just, you know, you dead wrong like that, bro. Just apologize. Make a personal apology to done. That's what I felt like it should have been, but I just felt like he was. He was dead wrong, bro. Dead wrong.

[Joe]

Don say, I'm a beat. I beat Gino ass. I would beat Gino ass. Oh, you ready, lips? You ready to argue?

[Ocho]

Okay, okay, okay. Hey, Don from Philly. Uncle Ocho, she ain't playing. Yeah. She about to get to it.

[Joe]

Yeah. And that's anytime you have to. It has to have. It has to be personal.

[Uncle Joe]

Yes.

[Joe]

Because what you did was personal.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Okay. You want to apologize to your institution because the way you behaved and put them in a negative light. You can say that. I want to apologize to my university also. But you did this to Don. You didn't do this to the entire staff. You did this to one individual. Now, whatever the case may be, I don't know where it goes back from, but he had a very contentious, contentious relationship with Pat Summit, the University of Tennessee. Yeah, it was very contentious. I know had had the lovely opportunity of meeting Pat in New York at the. At the sky club in. At LaGuardia. Had a great time. I said, Ms. Summit, how you. He said, call me Pat. You know, so forth and so on. But, Gino, you was wrong.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And your apology, I appreciate it, but it needs to have a personal touch to it. It needs to say, I apologize to the person that I spoke out of turn to. That I approached that I. That I. I probably said something that I should have said. I don't know what he said. Right. The way you behave is that you took a lot of the. A lot of the. The. The. The. The steam out of the sale of South Carolina, because what we should be talking about, that South Carolina did what many didn't think they could do.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Joe]

Beat an undefeated team, a reigning champion with two All Americans, and they did it on the defensive end.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Yeah. There had some ladies that rose to the occasion offensively, but this was a defense. You look at what Sarah strong shot. You look at what Az. Fudge shot, and that'll tell you everything that you need to know for you to not have a personal touch and say, I like to apologize first and foremost to Don Staley.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

She's a hell of a coach. She's rebound. Hey, look here. The Gamecocks, when you think about the Gamecocks you think about the women's basketball team. You don't think about a football team. And they've had a baseball team, had good baseball team, good track program with Sarge Frye. But when you think of South Carolina Gamecocks, you think of Don Staley and the Lady Gamecocks.

[Ocho]

Absolutely. Absolutely.

[Joe]

And so for you not to talk about the staff, you said you do not have a personal relationship with Don Staley. And. And I'm not saying that you have to.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

[Joe]

But your behavior would suggest that you need to have personally apologized to her. I appreciate you apologizing to the University of South Carolina and their staff, but they got to be. Have a little more personal touch to it. That's what. Apology. Apology. In order for you to. For you, an individual, because what you did was to an individual, you need to personally apologize to said individual.

[Ocho]

Absolutely.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, go ahead.

[Joe]

What you want to say?

[Uncle Joe]

Honestly, and, you know, excuse my language, man, that apology, most of the time, it takes for somebody to get angry, for them to show their true colors and how they really feel.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, that's all it is.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

And then on top of that, the fact that he didn't apologize directly to her, it lets you know how you really feel.

[Ocho]

Right. Right.

[Uncle Joe]

When you win it, when you're winning all that.

[Joe]

Good. Last year, when he's on the sideline, the clock's running down. He got his hands all up there.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

He's smiling.

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah. Back where we supposed to be.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

Hey, that.

[Uncle Joe]

Man, that fake ass apology, man, ain't never apology, man.

[Ocho]

He didn't.

[Zach]

He didn't.

[Ocho]

He didn't even write it.

[Joe]

But.

[Ocho]

But check this out. Can y' all imagine what Don Staley was like in the locker room after the game? Like, way to kick that. You know, she was going off like that.

[Joe]

Oh, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Wait a minute.

[Ocho]

Hey, that's what I would have been like. I'm like, man, wait, wait.

[Uncle Joe]

Wait a minute, Joe. And hold on. You want to.

[Ocho]

You.

[Uncle Joe]

You. You think it's bad because Gino did this? Imagine if the roles was flipped.

[Joe]

Boy.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, man, it would have been World War iii.

[Ocho]

Yeah. They'd have been talking big stuff about Don.

[Joe]

Man, listen, you gotta be just as gracious in victory as you are in defeat. Defeat. Now, think about it. Think about Geno. Gino's been coaching 20, 40 years. He's been the 25 Final Fours. He's won 12 championships. So somebody has been on the losing end 12 times. Gino is 12 and one in final. In national championship games.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Joe]

South Carolina beat him a couple of years ago. He's 12 and one. So 12 times somebody had to walk across the floor across the court aisle and. And shake his hand after getting their ass tore up.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

You look at the women that he's coached from Tarasi and. And Lobo and Maya Moore and Charles and. And Brianna Stewart, and the list goes on and on. He's winning three out of four. Brianna Stewart didn't lose a national championship game. So for four straight years, this man, he up there cheats Kiki and in people's face.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Now, the one time you're supposed to win and you didn't, you behave like this. Remember, you're as gracious in victory as you are in defeat. Nobody likes to lose. Everybody talking about, man, I'm a sword. I hate when people say, well, I hate to lose.

[Ocho]

If.

[Joe]

If you had that. Once you get to a certain level, everybody hates to lose.

[Ocho]

Yes, sir.

[Joe]

You put all that damn time in all these girls and put all this time in and.

[Commercial Announcer]

And.

[Joe]

And. And been away from their families and doing all this stuff. Nobody wants to lose. No, but it's a part of it. Yeah, but when they lose, they don't act like a jackass, man. That. That. That kills me. I hate what guy? Oh, I'm a. So, yeah, it bothers me. Anybody. Because I know there. There are some guys that. Hey, when they. When they winning, they running around and act like they're on the damn hoverboard.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

But when they lose, Ocho, they can't be found. Well, you know, I. I didn't want. No, no, no, no. But they couldn't get you to shut up.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

Nah, don't. Don't do that.

[Ocho]

Yeah, don't do that. Yeah. I just didn't. I just didn't expect that from Gino, bro. I. I just felt like he was a classy individual, and I thought that, you know, he. He would. He would be much better than that. Like blaming Don on how she talked to the rep. Man, come on, man.

[Joe]

We in between. He ain't never said something out of. Out of line to the ref.

[Ocho]

Come on, man.

[Joe]

But that ain't your job. That's the ref. You ain't no ref. You a Coke and stop dry snitching. Yeah, and.

[Uncle Joe]

And the way. The way he said it, the way he explained it, is as if Don screaming or saying whatever she's saying to the referees is influencing the ref's call in the game.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Uncle Joe]

Then he follows it up with the fouls.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Are we talking. What are we. Gina. What are we talking about? Baby, you got whooped. You lost.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

You don't lose often, but tonight you lost.

[Joe]

Yeah, what about. What about that? Ocho, the man that won, he won like 112 something games. He won like, he went like three straight years and never lost a game,

[Uncle Joe]

man.

[Joe]

Hey, no, ain't nobody. Ain't nobody did. Did what he did to him. What, Don Staley? Yeah, what he did to Don. They didn't do that to him. No, Don took that ass whipping. I think they beat the Carolina last year. They beat him. I think they beat him in South Carolina. Beat him by about 30 or 40, and they beat him by another 20, 30 last year in the championship game.

[Ocho]

Yeah, dawn got some dogs over there, Uncle Ocho.

So. But Carolina did it. Game. The Lady Gamecocks has an opportunity to win their third national championship in four years. What? For what she's done to that program. Wow, man. Basically, that's what you got. That's what you got to do. Because for the most part, these. When you get a program, you build it up. Look at Gino Gino was there for 40 plus. It's been a UConn for 40 years. Pat was there for 35. 40 years. Tar Vanderbilt, Stanford. 35, 40 years. You look at these ladies and Kim Mulkey, when she was at Baylor, she built that program up.

[Ocho]

[Joe]

So basically, you gotta build a program. You just got. You just gotta build it.

[Ocho]

You gotta be a great players coach to where these kids that's coming to your school, they gotta really truly believe that you got they back. And I feel like with Don, you know, she in TikTok, she in Instagram reels, you know what I mean? That's relatable to these kids because that's all they want to do. You know what I mean? They want to have fun, do stuff like that. At the same time, if you giving me everything that I'm asking for on the court, 100% on offense and defense, man, I do all the tik toks y' all want to do.

[Joe]

Didn't she. What did she do? She let her team pick out a bag, a Louis Vuitton bag. I think she let Jackson State them get sneakers. Yeah, I think she. I mean, she. She's just all like, I've never met Don, but she just strikes me as an allaround good player, a good person. Yeah, she wants to. Hey, look, she a hard worker. You can tell. She a hard worker.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

But. And she. And she demands. She. She can't. The way she. She has a certain level of respect.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah. And. And.

[Joe]

And. And the women. And the women gravitate towards that. They know a. Once the. Once a coach established what he expects or she expects, and they don't waver.

[Ocho]

There you go. Yeah. She shout out to Don, man. She came and hollered at us when I was playing in the big three. This one, I was playing with the triplets, and Lisa Leslie was.

Not. I mean, so she came in there and talked to us, bro. Like, you know, just gave us a little pep talk before the game and I thought that was cool. So I got much love and respect for. I like how she handled herself, you know, after that game the other day. Because I'm gonna tell you, I would have been the same way. Hell, I wouldn't have been surprised. She jumped on Gino ass. I was like, well, look, I can't whip him.

[Joe]

Hey, I. I can't whip it in front of all these folks. But hold on. Wasn't Don under Geno at the US team? Yeah, they coached in the Olympics in 20.

[Ocho]

I think she played for him, too. She played for him and coached with him.

[Joe]

He was a coach. Because. I know. I think Pat coached for a number of years, But if I'm. She might be. She. She. Is she still the. The usa basketball? Us women's basketball coach. Head coach in 21. Damien. I mean, our women had lost the gold medal since I think, what, 92, 96, 2004, 8, 12, 16, 21, 24. So we don't want seven straight time.

[Joe]

basically, that's exactly what he said. UCLA beat Texas 51 44. Four UCLA starters scored in double figures, led by scenic senior Lauren Betts with 16 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks, but a crucial, a crucial one late in the ball game. Kiki Rice. We've had Kiki on 11 points, including four key free throws in the final minute to see the win. And fell guard Gabrielle Haz, whose brother Jamie plays at the Miami Miami Heat, and Gianna Nick N pick each had 10. I thought Texas cause Texas got a girl. I think it's Booker. I think booker. She wears KD number 35.

[Ocho]

You see what she shot from the field?

[Joe]

Boy, they did a number on her. She missed 17 straight shots, Joe and Ocho before she hit that last one late. I think within four or three. But she was.

[Ocho]

Oh, she was. She got plenty of game, Uncle Ocho. I done seen her play a few times this year. Yeah, but she won three or 23 for six points, bro. Yeah, ain't no. And look, they ain't, they ain't even lose by that many. I thought, you know, if she could have just played decent.

[Joe]

Oh, they beat him. Yeah, if she play. If they, if she play. And, and, and here's another thing. They shot five free throws, Joe, so that tells me they're not aggressive. No, it tells me they're settling for jumpers.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

She's over four. She's over four from the three point line. And then she didn't shoot a free throw. Best starter. Only one starter shot a free throw. Let that sink in. Only one starter from the University of Texas shot a free throw. Damn.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Hey, Best did a number on them though. 11 boards, 16.7 for 10. She can play. I like her game.

[Joe]

They moved it in front of the man because before Joe and Ocho, you know, they were. I think they. Weren't they playing after the men at one point in time? They're playing like on a Tuesday or have they always played on Sunday?

[Ocho]

I think they always play a day before the men.

[Joe]

Joe, do you remember. Do you remember Joe Ocho and the men's final four? They used to play a consolation game that the two teams that lost so, like, Arizona and Illinois would play.

[Ocho]

Oh, no, I ain't never. I ain't knowing that.

[Joe]

Yeah. You know, if they're in between, yeah, I get somebody five five. I'm five five. Boy, we might have a little person and nothing wrong with a little person. I'm just saying, because you look at Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Kanye. Kanye what? Kanye 5 5, but Kim 5 2.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Joe]

That's what I'm saying. But to see these people in person and to see how small they actually are, it's like, damn, you, tiny.

[Ocho]

[Joe]

Chisora via split decision and a scrappy but entertaining heavyweight.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

To put himself back in the conversation for a bigger fight. Wilder scored two knockdowns but was deducted for a point in the fifth. In Chisora's 50th and final pro fight. The two judges scored at 115, 111 and 115, 113 for Wilder, but one had it 115112 for Chisora or went through the ropes twice as both men spent much of the fight leaning on each other. Yeah. The bread appeared to tie in the later rounds and Wilder landed more as the fight went on. Chazor scored a knockdown in the 11th round, but it was a little too late. Too late as Wilder control the last round to secure the victory.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Oo you watched this fight?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

What did you think?

[Uncle Joe]

I mean I, I, I enjoyed it. It wasn't a boxing, it wasn't a boxing match.

[Joe]

Uncle Joe Fest.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, that was, that was a fight that was, that was war. It's a very entertaining fight. I mean it's what you, what you expected from two heavyweights. I don't really think that Wilder slip in the 11th. I think maybe 11th or the 10th. I think he slipped on, on the canvas, huh? Yeah.

[Joe]

I was like well damn.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah he I think he slipped. Might have been some water maybe.

[Joe]

So I would only want man them

[Ocho]

dudes out there wrestling and everything man

[Uncle Joe]

but hey, hey, Joe, you know them boys tags.

[Joe]

That wasn't the sweet side, Ocho. You talking about you like the sweet size?

[Uncle Joe]

That was not.

[Ocho]

Hey, I see a lot of wild punches and all that. Hey, Ocho, it didn't look like, you know, like those guys really had much, you know, savvy when it comes to their skill, when it comes to their punches. Because I'm looking, I'm like, man, like these dudes in the backyard somewhere, the way they fighting.

[Joe]

Yeah. And what I noticed about Deontay Wilder, and that's the thing, it's like when he gets somebody in trouble, he really starts swinging wild.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe]

Hey, that's him.

[Uncle Joe]

He trying to connect. And if he connects, boys, lights out.

[Joe]

And the thing is, you tie yourself out. He was tired.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Because if he wasn't tired, he'd have put Chazor. He had Chisoria in trouble.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, he did. I thought he almost got him out of there, too.

[Joe]

And eight.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

When he caught. When he. When he caught him, all he went. Went between them ropes.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

I thought we would get him up out of there.

[Joe]

They went over the ropes, pulled him down. I was like, well, damn. Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey, hey, Joe. When it comes to the sweet science and like. Like a pure boxer that's a heavyweight, if you ever see Usyk fight, that'd be that. That'd be what he fight. He's a heavyweight, but he fight like he's small.

[Ocho]

Oh, he got. He got some hands.

[Joe]

He got some hands together. Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, he nice.

[Ocho]

Yeah, that's what I like to say. I like to see guys with great footwork can really.

[Joe]

No, he can fight for a heavyweight.

[Ocho]

Yeah, he could.

[Uncle Joe]

He fight like a little man.

[Joe]

Yeah, he does be nice and put punches together. He does. But, look, there were some punches thrown. It wasn't a whole lot of. Look, Was it artistic? No, no, no, no.

[Uncle Joe]

It was a. It was a war.

[Joe]

It was not art. I mean, hey, they was taking each other, Rabbit punching each other. They was in the. In the clutch. And you hit me, the back of my head, I'm gonna hit you in the back of your head.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, I wonder. I wonder who Wilder gonna fight next, huh? Because this. This is good for him. This is great momentum. He needed a win, you know, after some tough defeats. So I'm. I listen, I'm happy for Wilder.

[Joe]

I'm curious who you think you can fight. Joshua.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, Joshua was right there, you know, sitting ringside. That's a possibility. I'm not.

[Joe]

Both got glass chins. Neither one of Them needed. Neither one of them need to see or what you call them or usick you sick.

[Uncle Joe]

No, no, no, no.

[Joe]

No one.

[Ocho]

But if Joshua and Wilder fight, who, who, who, who would y' all get an edge to?

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Ocho]

Me too, man.

[Uncle Joe]

Joshua's a good one.

[Ocho]

He more of a boxer.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, he's more. He's more of a pure boxer.

[Joe]

Yes. Just the skill set.

[Uncle Joe]

One thing, one thing though. Even though he's a better boxer, Wilder has a punches chance.

[Joe]

For sure.

[Uncle Joe]

He has a punches chance.

[Joe]

He. Because we know Anthony Joshua Chin ping. A lingaling is glass window paint. It is, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean once you get knocked out, it just. You're more susceptible to get knocked out after that. After the first time.

[Ocho]

Damn. Yeah.

[Joe]

So you take. You would take water? Ocho.

[Uncle Joe]

Nah, I mean my calm common sense. I would go with Joshua.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. I would go with Joshua. And yeah, I'm a Wilder.

[Joe]

But I would see, I would watch it. I pay to watch it.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Joe]

They got about 45 for this, man. Hey, hey, listen.

[Uncle Joe]

That. That was worth 45. Yeah, it was entertaining. It was entertaining. It's not, it's not, you know, not. Not the, the artistry. It's not the sweet science, but it was a war.

[Ocho]

Yeah, they fought probably.

[Joe]

I think we agree. I think we all agree. I think it's probably two guys that's a little bit past their prime. Yeah, but it was entertaining. Yeah. Yeah, it was entertaining. Jokic outdo Wimby in the OT thriller. Jokic had a game high 40 points, 13 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, no turnovers. Denver snapped San Antonio's 11 game winning streak and extended his run to 8 straight. Jokic strung together a third outing with at least 40 points and 10 assists in 3 blocks. Only D. Wade has recorded more such games. 5 since blocks first became an official stat in 1973. 74. It was also Yogic 7th career aim with at least 30 points, 10 assists and 0 turnovers. Hey, that was. You know what? They're not even in this position. If it's not for Aaron Gordon, the job that he did, a man his size, sliding his feet, staying in front of de' Aaron Fox, man. De' Aaron Fox, man, that joke. Hey, he quick as a cat on the hot tin roof.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And every. Everywhere he went, Gordon beat him to the point. No, you're not going there. Yeah, you ain't going there. Nope, you're not going there. Made him airball it. And then he came down and found himself, got loose and he dunked the ball home.

[Ocho]

Aaron Gordon is an intricate piece.

[Joe]

Yep.

[Ocho]

For the Denver Nuggets. Like, if they got him Uncle Ocho, they probably could beat anybody in a place in a playoff series. Man, listen, this is a hell of a game, man. And these teams messing around and running to each other in the playoffs. It's gonna go seven. Yeah, y. Oh, it's gonna go seven, man. I'm talking about Wimy 34, 18, seven.

[Joe]

Five blocks.

[Ocho]

Five blocks. Jokic out here just 48, 13, like.

[Uncle Joe]

And you saw that step back, that step back shot over Whip.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Over Wimby.

[Joe]

That one legged shot. He done hit that thing so many times. We don't see him hit that shot so many times against the Lakers in the postseason.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And they. Somebody. It ain't no luck. That's his shot.

[Ocho]

Nah, nah. Hey, he a bad boy, man. Bad boy.

[Joe]

He crazy. It's ridiculous.

[Ocho]

I love watching him play, man. I just feel like he played, Uncle. I feel like he played. I'm talking about Yogic. I feel like Jokic plays the right way. He never forces the action, you know, if he need to turn it up, he always knows that. And obviously, playing against these spurs, he knew that he was going to have to come out and play big tonight. And every time, bro, he answers the bell like. That's why I say the West, a gauntlet, bro. Like, you come out the west, you gonna be so beat up. You gonna be so beat up, you're gonna probably.

[Joe]

To come out of the west, you're gonna probably have to beat the Nuggets, OKC or San Antonio, you have to probably beat two or three.

[Ocho]

Yeah, you're gonna have to beat two of them. least two. Yeah.

[Joe]

Oh, we two of them.

[Ocho]

They got too.

[Joe]

And I love the man. Look here, San Antonio come to play.

[Ocho]

Yeah, they got too much. They. San Antonio got a lot of guys who could play. Denver got a lot of guys who can play that know, they roll like this is an even matchup, like 134 to 136. Yeah. They couldn't stop each other.

[Joe]

No. Because basically everybody was shooting a pretty good. I mean, and I like that women was putting pressure on him because he got to the free throw line 17 times. So I like the fact that he's putting pressure. Same thing with Jokic. Yoga's getting to the free throw line 15 times. That tells me he's putting pressure on the defense.

[Ocho]

Yes, sir.

[Joe]

They're not settling.

[Ocho]

No, man,

[Joe]

but this was a game I was like, damn.

[Ocho]

Yeah. These two heavyweights, bro, I'm Talking about going at it. That's gonna be fun.

[Joe]

It's gonna be very. Look, I can't wait to see who we. Who The. The. Because if. If we're gonna talk about this. Luca. Luca. If he doesn't play anymore, he's gonna be over the 65 games. Now that brings somebody else into what.

[Ocho]

Hold on, hold on. If he missed the rest of this season, meaning regular season, game.

[Joe]

He can't. He.

[Ocho]

It's over with, Unc. He done. He done. He done for the regular season. It's over with.

[Joe]

Yep. They talk about trying to file a petition because he missed two games for the birth of his daughter, but you know, you're going down a slippery slope if you do that. But. No, but this game right here, this game was so entertaining. I mean, the Nuggets. I mean, you thought the spurs, like, had it under control, and here come the Nuggets. Here they come.

[Ocho]

Yeah. They gonna always find a way to stay in the game, stay close. And because they got closers, they got guys who play the right way, play hard, compete championship pedigree. It's gonna be hard to beat them dudes in seven game series, man.

[Joe]

Oh, for sure. And you know, and Watson didn't play today, but they got. And the thing is that they got a bench because you look at Watson and Hardaway Jr. Yeah. Valentunius. Valentunas.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Tyus Jones, Bruce Brown, they got some guys, man.

[Joe]

Yeah, they got a nice bench, but

[Ocho]

they need Gordon to stay healthy boy.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Ocho]

Stay healthy.

[Joe]

I'm surprised he and Jamal Murray didn't shoot a free throw. But Jamal Murray did have 15 points and 10 assists.

[Ocho]

Yeah, obviously.

[Joe]

Yoko. Yoko, with that herculean effort that he had. But this was. This was a game.

[Ocho]

It was really.
