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 it going. Donovan Mitchell is the first guard since Kobe Bryant to record 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.
Ocho
Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean it's a bad combination?
Unc
Huh?
Ocho
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. Yes, yes, Unc. It was a bad combination. I could have told you the combination was going to happen before it happened.
Unc
Well, a lot of people gonna say the combination happened because ABC tweet had it. Had it. Playing the Knicks versus the Cavaliers. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ocho
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?
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
You hear me?
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
Everybody, the. 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. You 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.
Unc
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 Strutz 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, every moment say I got some slack. A.J. what you got on that, man? I got a 20 piece. All right, I'll take that. Hey, Sam Merrill, what you got?
Joe
He's.
Ocho
I got something on your 20 piece, too.
Unc
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 Joey going down the lane, dunking the basketball. That ain't how Detroit normally plays defense. Go ahead, Joe.
Joe
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 Ocho, 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 Ojo, 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.
Ocho
Hey, and listen, Cade didn't have no help tonight. Where was Tobias Harris?
Unc
Well, he went back to Berris again.
Ocho
This is. This is.
Unc
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 Harris. Cause he was dressed up as some other player.
Joe
Hey, hey, hey, listen, hold on. You talk about. Where were these dudes at, man? To me, from. From my eye, it just seemed like they were. They would. They were 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 and tired. 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, too.
Unc
They're not good enough. They're not good enough, Joe. I mean, we could. 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, y 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.
Joe
Yeah, because the turnover.
Unc
Look at, look at what, what how many turnovers did James Harden have tonight?
Joe
1.
Unc
Plus 31. Even though he only had nine points the other night, he had seven.
Joe
8.
Unc
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 with you taking care of the bat. I understand they put a lot on your plate. To whom much is given. Much is required.
Joe
Much is required.
Unc
You got to take care. You got to take care of the ball. You got in. Thompson, you are phenomenal defensive player. You're going to be in the run, 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.

Warning. This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Ain't no way around it. And I told before I let you go, Joe, I told you, I said Evan Mobley got a decided advantage on Tobias Harris. Yes, punished him down low.
Joe
Yeah, punished him, had his mind made up. Yeah.
Unc
Enough. He said enough. He like Reggie in clumps.
Ocho
Enough.
Unc
I used to like Black, now I gotta attack Black. I used to like Jabari, now I gotta attack him.
Ocho
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 going to 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, uncle, you know how it is when fatigue sets in, that's when you start to make mistakes.
Unc
Yeah, you're right.
Ocho
I think I'm seeing that. I think I'm seeing that from Cade a lot in this series. Just in general when he, 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 K's having a bad game, who's out there that you can go get that. That can. That can assure you, you know, you can get points and they can take over game. When Kaden not having a. Not having a good game. James Bias. Huh?
Unc
James is. Hey, in Detroit, it's.
Joe
It's some. It's. It's some guys out there, Ocho, who can help Detroit. I mean, listen.
Ocho
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. No, 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.
Joe
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 gonna happen. Hell, I don't think it's pretty much happened the whole season. And uncle, 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.
Unc
He get 13 points with five turnovers, you're gonna lose by damn near 30 if I. I wish.
Joe
Every time. Every time. And then you look at Donovan and James Harden tonight, I'm. I'm kudos. I know James and had a best game offensively. Yeah, but bro, one turnover. Donovan, zero turnovers. Hell, every game they done lost, they've been over five, six, seven turnovers, bro. A piece. 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.
Ocho
Hey, from. From the. From the start. Start to finish, Joe. Start to finish. And let me. Let me tell y' all something. 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 comes to you, you know, you know basketball from the 50s, 60s, 7880s. 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?
Joe
Yeah, yeah.
Ocho
Between the Knicks and the Cavs, okay, it's going to seven. You hear me?
Joe
It's going seven.
Ocho
I'm telling you right now, it's going seven. But it's going seven in the next 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.
Unc
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 care, him with cut, Cade.
Joe
Yeah, they need something like that. 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.
Unc
Can you give us 65 each? Five, Joe.
Ocho
Hold on, hold on. How about. How about we do this, Joe and Uncle. Let me. Let's say you want A.D. right? You want him down there in Detroit, right? When's the last time he gave you 60 games? Let's start there.
Unc
I don't think. I don't think he gave us this year, Joe. He might not gave us 20.
Ocho
Okay, okay. Not this year. Last year. How many games did he give us last year?
Unc
As soon as he got there, what you call him. And then he got hurt and they shut him down, so. It's been a minute. It's been a minute, though, Joe.
Ocho
Yeah, that I.
Unc
Hey, hey, I don't think.
Ocho
I don't think that's the answer, Joe,
Joe
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 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're trying to get in shape like that. Hopefully he's learned his lesson. But for me, I, like, I wouldn't mind 80, 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 bona fide score next to Cade, man. Yeah, you gotta go get a bona fide.
Unc
Doesn't want to leave the Clipper. Clippers.
Joe
Well, hey, hey, hey. Damn. 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 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.
Ocho
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.
Joe
Oh, man. Here we go.
Ocho
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?
Unc
Yeah.
Ocho
But y' all need to get your basketball knowledge up like me. Cause 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' all when it comes to figuring out the outcomes of these series. I mean, that, that's, that's. I mean, that's beyond me.
Joe
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 what it is, Ocho. You really. You really just guessing on. On the cool. But you. You know what I'm saying? You making some good guesses. You making.
Ocho
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.
Joe
No, no, no, no.
Unc
Let me finish.
Ocho
Let me finish. Now I come. Now I come to basketball. See? The NBA. I'm beating you in that, too. And you still think it's luck.
Unc
You pick local, man, you pick mascots.
Ocho
Okay, okay, so what I'm picking now.
Unc
But, hey, what about football? With your knowledge. What about football, Your football knowledge.
Ocho
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.
Joe
Hey, hey, you see how that works? And that's. That's been my problem with basketball. I've been baby with my heart this whole postseason. Now, I got. I got to step it up. I got to get it together. It's nut cutting time now.
Ocho
Okay, okay, let me. Let me see. Let me see how much you've learned from me so far. Joe, The Cavs are playing the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals, right?
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
Who you got in that series?
Joe
I got the Knicks. O. Joe.
Ocho
Okay, about, you know, you learn. You know what? Where you going places, boy? Huh? Where you go are you going? Hey, who you got?
Unc
I'm taking the Knicks. But if. Oh, if OG Was healthy, I'd take him in five.
Ocho
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.
Joe
Man, listen, sometimes less is more. Man, they played 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.
Unc
Don't go crazy.
Joe
Hey, man, Ocho, when you. Hey, when I look at this game, look at the free throw disparity.
Unc
Cleveland can't make free throw. They missed 16, Joe Ocho.
Joe
Oh, my. 63. 63% from the free throw line, bro.
Unc
Yeah, they missed 16 free throws, and they're good. I Mean, think about it. Allen missed six, 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. Come. Remember, he missed the free throw. He ended up getting his rebound. Remember, Joe?
Joe
Yeah, he missed. He made the first one, missed the
Unc
second one, got the rebound, went to the free throw line and missed it. It made it, missed another one.
Joe
Yeah, they can. Hey, look, you 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.
Unc
Yeah. Cause what you call. Because you know, Brunson getting to the free throw line, if he don't do nothing else, he gonna get the free throw line on you.
Joe
Hey, and that's the thing. It's like, damn, they ain't got nobody.
Ocho
No, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Don't do that. Don't do that. Because even the teams that had somebody guard Brunson, couldn't do nothing with him. You remember. Remember what you said? Remember what you said about Eskim?
Joe
Yeah, man.
Ocho
Remember what you said about. Ask him.
Joe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ocho
He said he was the answer. Huh?
Joe
He was a little wet.
Ocho
He was the big body Brunson stopper. Didn't you.
Joe
He looked.
Ocho
Oh, now he went behind the ears. Okay.
Unc
He give. He get a couple games right? Now he. Now he want to be on the app.
Ocho
A couple.
Unc
Call me for pigs.
Ocho
Hey, Joe. Oh, listen, with all due respect. Get your ball game knowledge up, man.
Joe
Yeah. Hey. Oh, he feeling good. He feeling good. Let. Let him go. Hey, hey. Go. Go get your rent out, man. Do your thing, bro.
Ocho
Hey, I'm doing it. I'm just. I'm proving y' all wrong, that's all.
Joe
Yeah. Yeah.
Ocho
Joe. Hold on, Joe. Hold on. Joe. You played the game at the highest level.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
You know the game better than me. You can. You can. You can teach me the game. You hear me?
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
And the fact that I'm beating you at your own game, what does that tell you? What? Huh?
Unc
You make so not only.
Ocho
Hold on. Let me tell you something. Not only am I gonna outdo you in your own game when it comes to this show, right? Yeah. Wait until I see you one on one.
Joe
You saying you gonna outplay me, too?
Ocho
Outplay you too, boy. Cause listen, I'm out thinking you right now.
Unc
Keep doing it.
Ocho
When we get on the court, I'm
Unc
out think you there too, Ocho, you
Joe
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.
Ocho
Yo, this is the funny thing. You can't play, you can't play well. Pissed off. That's why I'm gonna talk shit to you. Once you pissed off and frustrated, you're gonna be like Thompson, you gonna foul out.
Joe
Hey, hey, I'm like Wimby. I'll be with the monks, baby.
Unc
You ain't gonna be able to do that. You ain't gonna be able to do nothing. You got it right.
Ocho
Hold tight, boy. Hold tight.
Unc
About this, it's kind of like the other, other Game seven, Western Conference final. Game seven. I mean, game six, we thought it was good. 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 played 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.
Joe
Yeah, there you go.
Unc
If, if, if you're at home and your guys, you got, I mean, you look, I don't think they really count. No, anything, anything that Go Bear gives you offensively, you graciously accept you're 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're like, oh, my goodness. Yeah, but you, Randall, you expecting 15 to 20 from Jew on a nightly basis. And he was horrible. I agree. Ain't no way around it.
Joe
He was, he was, man. He was. It was.
Unc
Is that me?
Joe
It was, it was bad. It was bad for the team. You still on Ojo? Yo, what you got going, bro?
Ocho
You know, I had, I had Sunday league tonight.
Joe
Oh, you had what, you had to ice up a little bit?
Ocho
No, no, no, no, no, no. You know, I always wrap my hand. I always wrap my hand My left hamstring up just to make sure, you know, I don't pull. I don't pull. Joe, you know. You know, I play Sunday league at Kendall Soccer park every Sunday.
Joe
Oh, yeah.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, you know 11B11. You know, the big. The big field, Joe. Yeah, I'm the striker. Joe, we gotta ass whoop tonight, boy.
Unc
More that to come. More that to come.
Ocho
Nah, nah, we gonna be good. Hey, Joe. It was bad, Joe.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
Oh, my God, Joe, I'm talking. We lost like five in a row.
Joe
Damn.
Ocho
But shout, hey, shout out to my boys, man. Young Kings fc, huh?
Joe
Damn.
Unc
Yeah, and you come on and you come straight. Hey, you come on here. You come straight on. Ain't no. He ain't mentioning nothing about no shower. Diddy Joe come on like a bucket full of chin straps and jocks. Hold on. I bet he smells nothing like jocks and chin straps.
Ocho
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold
Unc
on, hold on, hold on.
Ocho
Listen, I'm gonna take a shower. When I go to bed, I had. I had to come home and get right in front of the tv so I can make sure I can tell y' all about how y' all don't know the game of basketball.
Unc
I told you. Coming out here smelling like number a basket full of jocks.
Ocho
Hold on. Hey, Joe, what did I tell you about when I shower? I shower every. What?
Joe

Ocho
Every Friday.
Unc
Hold on.
Joe
But you just played a game, bro.
Unc

Ocho
So tonight. Tonight is an exception. I'm a shower after we finish.
Unc

Ocho
Hey, hey, hey, Joe, I. Hey, Joe, I need. I don't want no restrictions.
Unc
I need to be the restriction, man. Nobody. Oh, Lord, this man here.
Ocho
I'm just telling you. I'm telling you. Hey, listen, I. That's why
Unc
I had a. I had a teammate played. He went by no jock. He played in Jockey shorts. Fruit of the Loons.
Joe
Yeah, yeah, that was. Hey, I only know one teammate of mine who play. Hold on. When you say a jockey, that's when your backside out, right? Hey, hey, that Joker Bo Outlaw. And, hey, look, he played in. He played in the Jockey. He did not play about you patting him on his butt after a good play. He did not play that. You know what I'm saying?
Unc
Yeah, Ocho, you need to go ahead. You should have showered with Ocho.
Ocho
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 Pittance game. And then once the game ends, I'm on here to talk about this.
Joe
Huh?
Ocho
That's more important.
Unc
Oh, you don't hear that battery, that smoke, Detective, Take the battery out.
Ocho
Oh, you can hear it?
Unc
Yeah, we can hear it. How you think I'm able to tell you? Oh, Joe, take the battery out.
Ocho
Hey, listen, now, you know, you know, you know I'm black. Now you know how. You know how black. Black household always got the smoke detector battery going.
Unc
Just. All you gotta do is just take the thing off and take the battery out.
Ocho
Hold on, let me. Let me see if I can get up there. That thing kind of hiding now. You know, I got 20 foot ceilings.
Unc
Oh, Lord have mercy.
Joe
Here you go. Here you go.
Unc
Your funky ass that funk go all the way to the top of the ceiling too.
Joe
Oh, man, hold on, let me see if I.
Ocho
Let me see if I can reach your home.
Unc
That's what you call them. That's a ew meter. Ew, he funky. Is that what going on, Joe?
Ocho
Hold on, let me see if I can reach it.
Unc
Hey, hey, hey.
Ocho
Matter of fact, baby, baby, I know you watching.
Unc
Bring.
Ocho
Bring me the ladder, please. The little step ladder.
Joe
Oh, here he go. Hey, listen, 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 set the pick and roll so Donovan 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 had some hell of a passes. I thought James had 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 and Mobley, we need y' all to go make a play, man. They making plays all night.
Unc
They was doing Allen getting down there banging Mobley good and always, man. And I. And. And I was like, hold on. And when we was talking about this, I said, Joe Mobley, I said, if you look at the matchup, okay, if you take Duran and he plays Allen, that means Tobias Harris gotta pay. Mobley. Mobley is 7 foot. Tabias 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. And tonight that's what he did. He wasn't selling for no. 3 one, 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.
Joe
Yeah. And hey, look, he got to take this confidence into this next series because he's going to be the difference maker. Who, who, who does the Knicks have playing? The four they normally would have. Yeah. So if he ain't playing, then who he probably gonna have guarding him?
Unc
I would. Because you're probably going to have. You're going to have heart.

probably gonna be hard.
Unc
You can't play. You can't play Mitchell and Robinson and Cat. Nope nope.
Joe
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.
Unc
Oh yeah.
Joe
You know if he take advantage and be aggressive like he was tonight.
Unc
Man.
Joe
Listen they I mean they got a chance to make this a series but I just think due to the rest that that the Knicks have 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.
Unc
Good luck.
Joe
They might get the dole blew off they ass. Game 1 they better find a way
Unc
to shut down Brussels Carson because he he look at this chop he Said this is the close I ever been.

Oh they got a chance bro. They got a real chance to get to the finals.
Unc
Yeah and SGA won his second consecutive NFNBA 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 a.m. instead of a p.m. 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 pre scheduled tweet but confused with AMMP it was supposed to be announced at 7:30pm blah blah blah but instead it was tweeted at 7:30am SGA 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 616263 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 see 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. Will did it twice. Elgin did it. That great 61, 62 season where everybody had what's what, 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?
Joe
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.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
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. They got too many weapons, bro. Too many guys who.
Unc
They.
Joe
They're built just like okc. A bunch of guys who can go off the dribble, guys who can catch a 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.
Unc
Yeah. I mean, when you look. 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 many shoot they may average.
Ocho
You see what I mean? You know what I mean? That's why y' all need to listen to me.
Unc
Ain't nobody out here.
Ocho
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 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 Clipping franchise if they keep him and just be patient. But no, they, they didn't want to listen. They didn't want to listen to me.
Joe
Well, listen, I saw this, I saw this long ago. Listen, we are prisons 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?
Unc
I think he finished real high up on the MVP voting, Joe.
Joe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did. He was special, bro. I ain't gonna lie. So I, 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.
Unc
I mean, averaging 30, dude shooting 50 back to back MVPs. A finals MVP with a championship has an opportunity to go back to back. I mean, what, Jordan did that. Hold on.
Ocho
LeBron.
Unc
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 MVP. 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
Joe
mean, I'm trying to go check this out.
Unc
I don't even know if Magic did it. He might hold. 87, 88. Magic 187, 88. They went 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.
Joe
And.
Unc
And then Jordan won the MVP in 88. Because Jordan had. If I'm not mistaken, Jordan had that 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.
Joe
Yeah.
Unc
Or maybe 90.
Joe
No.
Unc
Yeah, 97. 92. Because Barkley wanted in 93. And then Carl Malone snuck in there and wanted one of them years. The car balloon what it in 97 over the 98.
Joe
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 charts. Hell, Shayden won back to back damn MVPs. I'm thinking to myself, damn, Shay bought them boys Rolexes last year. Hell, he bought them apart.
Unc
Yeah. Hey, we do something. I'm get y' all ap. AP autograph. Hey, hey, Adrian Peterson autograph. That's. That's the AP that y' all gonna get.
Ocho
Hey, listen. Hey, hey, hey, listen. Let me. Listen to me, Uncle Joe. I'm about. I'm about to come into some, you know, some big money real quick, right? I'm about to come to some good stuff. Well, I got some good. I got some good gifts for y', all, boy.

Ocho
And you. You think. You think. You think Shay did something nice.
Joe
You gonna be at the top of ap, man.
Ocho
But I'm giving you something with four wheels and a steering wheel, boy. You hear me?
Unc

Ocho
Yeah, man. I don't play. I don't play. Hey, just to show. Hey, just to show my appreciation.
Joe
He get my hopes up. High up.
Ocho
Hey, hey, one thing about it, you know, when I give gifts, boy, I don't play about that, boy. You hear me?
Unc
I mean, hey, if.
Ocho
If I'm lying, well, you know, I
Unc
need to make a call. I need to call and see what type of gifts you normally be. You normally give.
Ocho
Oh, I. Oh, I. I get given that. How about this? Hey, Joe, think about this, Joe. Hey, I'm thinking about this real quick. Think the. 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?
Unc
What are we talking About Joe. Make this make sense. He'll keep. He'll tip a stranger 500,000, 1500. He been knowing me. I can't even get my little paper.
Joe
Oh, man.
Ocho
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.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
I'm not. I'm not in a position of power to change minimum wage. You hear me?
Joe
Right. Right.
Ocho
I make do just so when I go eat at a restaurant.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
I don't care how your service is because I already know the. You didn't had to deal with before I got there.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
I'm temping you $1,000 or better every
Joe
time, even if your meal come out to 60.
Ocho
Joe, I don't care. Cause they need that. They got to live off that. Hey, Joe, listen, Unc rich, man.
Unc
Unc rich.
Ocho
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?
Joe
I think he really did it, though. I think he wanted. I mean, to have it in his pocket.
Unc
Time, you know? Time, time, time. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They used to be Joe and Ocho.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
Hey, hey, Joe. Unc just went to a legging game. It cost150,000 to sit courtside.
Unc
No, you ain't. No, you saw that. Hey, you saw the next ticket. I bet he ain't mention no more about no damn next ticket, Joe.
Joe
Yeah, I bet he ain't
Unc
do. What court size ticket going for at next game.
Joe
How much are they? About six.
Unc
I sent you the thing. 150. Oh, they had. So they had something like 60. They had a couple for like 150
Joe
also.
Ocho
Oh, that's why Josh Harden hit me back. Okay, I get it.
Joe
They gonna get it, too.
Unc
Hey, think about it. Think about how long.
Joe
Hold on.
Unc
They were in the. They were in the Eastern Conference finals last year, right? Indiana beat them.
Joe
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unc
So they like. And they think. You know how the Knicks think. Anytime they get this far, they thinking they going all the way.
Joe
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'd 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 play. It's Sunday, bro. They play Tuesday.
Ocho
Okay. Hey, I just want to make sure you're on point with your decision making, Joker. You've been real bad the past few weeks.
Unc
Hey, hey, Joe. Ocho, if you want to buy Cambodia something, I got a couple of purses I'm looking to get up off of. I gotta. I got a limited edition lv. I got that.

Podcast: Nightcap (Shay Shay Media & Playmaker)
Date: May 18, 2026
Hosts: Shannon Sharpe (Unc), Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson (Ocho), Joe Johnson (Joe/ISO Joe)
This episode of Nightcap delivers immediate, unfiltered, and entertaining reactions to the NBA Playoffs, focusing on the Cleveland Cavaliers' decisive Game 7 victory over the Detroit Pistons and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s (SGA) back-to-back MVP win. The trio—Shannon (Unc), Ochocinco (Ocho), and Joe (ISO Joe)—break down what went right for the Cavs, what went wrong for the Pistons, playoff narratives, potential offseason moves, SGA’s place in history, and have a little fun roasting each other's “basketball IQ” and gifting habits.
Opening Game Analysis (07:24–13:21)
Detroit’s Struggles
“Cleveland played really well, Detroit played bad... They couldn’t stop anybody. Look how they was going to the basket.” – Unc (12:57)
“If Mobley and Allen play like this, they’re gonna be tough to beat.” – Joe (13:21)
“If Cade Cunningham plays bad, they're not winning. It's really that simple.” – Unc (16:19)
Thompson Kid: High effort, but offensive liability—NBA-level shooting absent.
Offseason Needs:
“You need to start listening to me when it comes to my basketball knowledge and IQ.” – Ocho (24:54)
“If they’re even looking to compete with New York, them free throws gonna come in handy.” – Joe (31:04)
“First guard to average 30 on 55% shooting in NBA history... He’s done something nobody has ever done.” – Unc (47:44)
“Congrats to Shay... But he’s gotta be special against the Spurs next round.” – Joe (47:44–48:28)
On Cleveland’s Bigs:
On Cade’s Burden:
Banter:
SGA’s Historic Season:
The podcast maintains a friendly, barbershop debate tone—hilarious, candid, and authentic, with plenty of good-natured jabs and storytelling. The basketball analysis is sharp but always couched in accessible, conversational language. The hosts’ chemistry shines, with each playing their role: Unc as the seasoned vet, Ocho as the passionate upstart, Joe as the player-turned-commentator.
The Cavs smashed the Pistons in Game 7 behind huge nights from their big men and Donovan Mitchell, setting up a showdown with the Knicks. The Pistons looked gassed, exposing their roster flaws and dependence on Cade. Meanwhile, SGA goes back-to-back as MVP, breaking records and sparking GOAT debates. Ocho needles the crew for doubting his picks, and everyone flexes on lifestyle, gifts, and luxury rides, capping a classic, unfiltered Nightcap.
