Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Detroit Pistons' Collapse in Game 7

• [01:06] Trista: "You got your ass whooped in game seven at the crib as a one seed that won 60 games by a team that everybody's been calling soft. So, no, you guys were soft."
• The hosts detail Pistons star Cade Cunningham's struggles (-32 plus/minus), lackluster performances from key role players (Tobias Harris, Marcus Sasser), and questionable rotations by coach J.B. Bickerstaff.
• [01:47] Trista: “Why did Paul Reed only play 8 minutes? Why does Stewart only play 6 minutes? I don’t understand what’s going on.”

2. Cavaliers' Game 7 Dominance

• [04:10] Juju: Salutes Sam Merrill’s surprise 23-point outburst, joking, “Sam Merrill Lynch Branch is open on Sundays.”
• James Harden’s role “activated their Megatron Autobots”—he became a supporting playmaker rather than the primary star, which suited Cleveland’s ensemble approach.
• Juju: “All they gotta do is activate their Megatron Autobots and just say, ‘Hey, James, pass us the ball when you see us…’ That’s exactly what he did.” [04:36]
• Donovan Mitchell’s aggression and playmaking get highlighted, especially his lobs to Mobley/Allen (50+ points in the paint). [06:00]

3. Detroit’s Future & Potential Moves

• Discussion on who Detroit should target—need for two-way scoring, with Zach LaVine and Jrue Holiday floated as possibilities.
• Trista: “It’s not acceptable to have no jump shot. Is not acceptable.” [08:42]
• The importance of developmental shooting and off-season improvement for Pistons' young core (especially Ausar Thompson).

4. Cavs vs. Knicks Playoff Outlook

• Trista is pessimistic about Cleveland’s chances: “The only way I see Cleveland winning this series is that their front court has to absolutely dominate.” [11:58]
• Knicks’ depth, defensive versatility, and Jalen Brunson’s crafty offense present enormous challenges for Cavs.
• Prediction: Knicks in 5 or 6 (“So many things... have to go right for the Cavs and wrong for the Knicks that I don’t see them all happening simultaneously.”) [13:39]

5. West Semis: Spurs vs Thunder – Which Team Has Been Tested More?

• Vegas heavily favors OKC, but Trista is wary: “Wemby’s a factor that almost nobody can really put into your calculator… It’s an error.” [15:51]
• Spurs’ battle-tested roster highlighted, including championship experience (Harrison Barnes, Kelton Johnson), high-leverage moments, and Victor Wembanyama’s international pedigree.
• Juju: “Even if Jalen Williams comes back and it gives a little hitch… Aj, you know what to do.” [17:40]
• Thunder seen as riding high (SGA’s awards, team in sync), but the hosts see an upset brewing if Spurs capitalize early.
• Trista: “San Antonio is a really hard place to play too… there hasn’t been that great of a challenge yet for OKC.” [18:44]
• Juju: “I think the Spurs have been more tested than the Thunder.” [19:26]

6. WNBA & Sports Culture

Asia Wilson & Media Storylines

• Playful debate on Asia Wilson’s “that girl university” joke and what would happen if Caitlin Clark did the same.
• Media/social media sensitivity about promo placement: “You can’t leave Caitlyn Clark off the promo and put Raven on the photo… If you’re gonna put Raven on there, you have to put Caitlyn on there.” [22:27]

Miles Turner Calls Out Bucks; Giannis’s Reputation

• Turner’s criticism of Bucks’ lack of discipline, Giannis’s “villainous and diva” actions behind the “family man” image.
• Trista: “I’m tired of Giannis… You show up three hours late for the plane consistently, you think you can just do whatever you want.” [25:36]

7. Fun Moments & Cultural Tangents

• Jokes about “Derek White Ale” and silly sports marketing products (“Why do they have that cup of Sam Adams on D. White like it’s his bicep?”) [28:47]
• Lighthearted closing: “If I go to the bar and they got D. White on the table right quick. …We just lost. I don’t want to see it yet.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• [04:10] Juju: “Sam Merrill Lynch Branch is open on Sundays.” (On Sam Merrill’s surprise performance)
• [05:29] Juju: “Jimmy Harden, let me tell you, do that once every game. Don’t do it, Jimmy.” (On Harden’s foul-bait three-point attempt)
• [12:08] Trista: “You have to get Mitchell Robinson in foul trouble… All these things have to go perfect.”
• [15:51] Trista: “Wemby’s a factor that almost nobody can really put into your calculator and get a result for. Put that in your TI 85 and smoke it. …It’s an error.”
• [19:57] Juju: “Until you beat the Man. I don’t know what to say to you. And the man is standing right there across from you starting last night.”
• [25:36] Trista: “You show up three hours late for the plane consistently, you think you can just do whatever you want… you don’t want to be the villain. But all the things that you do are villainous and diva-like.”
• [29:11] Trista: “Why do they have that cup of Sam Adams on D. White like it’s his bicep. Like that’s actually an extension of his arm that is like a foamy cup.”

Transcript

[A]

Until James is a serious player, we have to just call him Jimmy.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, Jimmy. Jimmy Harden, bruh.

[A]

Jimmy H. Jimmy. What up, boy? What you doing? He's like. He's. He's 80 on the porch. I ain't nothing. Just chilling. He's just blessed, you know what I mean? But he's out there. He's out there hooping. But that's Jimmy now.

[B]

Yeah, that's Jimmy. Salute to Tim. I got a honey gun, a hundred clips. I'm from Atlanta. Welcome back to the alley O. I am the kid Juju Gotti, joined as always by my sister, Trista Creek. How you doing?

[A]

It's a lovely Monday, Juju. It's day for a eulogy today.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

For awake today for a funeral. Let me just tell you. Let's break it down.

[B]

Break.

[A]

Break down instead of breaking me on down. Well, I mean, we don't really. There's not a lot of analytics needed. You got your ass whooped in game seven at the crib as a one seed that won 60 games by a team that everybody's been calling soft. So, no, you guys were soft. And Kate Cunningham ran out of gas. Thirteen points, a minus 32 for the game, which was a worst on the team, plus minus.

[B]

I mean, when you lose by 32 and you're the star player, you're gonna be out there. So. I don't know. But your point still stands?

[A]

I mean, it's just. Yeah, I guess that's right. But wasn't able to get any scoring done. Got absolutely nothing from Tobias Harris. You get zilch. Literally, zilch. You got. And why is my guy. What's his name, Marcus Sasser? Why is he out there? You know, why is he playing so many minutes? Why didn't. Why did Paul reed only play 8 minutes? Why does Stewart only play 6 minutes? I don't understand what's going on. What is going on, bro?

[B]

Bigger staff was trying to prove points. I feel like at the wrong time, bruh. Like I feel you by trying things out and tinkering. But like you said, bro, ain't no way in hell. Basketball power supposed to get under eight minutes, nine minutes, bro. What is you doing? And I saw when he got took out, too. He was just as mad as me. This is what I think happened to basketball. Paul. They told Paul he was coming out. My boy said. And I said, oh, no, please don't allow that to judge the rest of the game. We ain't see him no more the rest of the game. We saw the. The End of the bench before we saw him. And so I think that it's just semantics, bro. It was the scheme. Everything that the Pistons could have done, they should have done. And you can't get that type of. I mean, we don't want to beat my boy down. But Jaylen Duran, bro, you gotta show up, bro. He ain't even have a. Six shot attempts, seven shot attempts. Like you not. You're so not a factor in this game that I feel like it would have behooved them boys to sit you down. And they didn't. Janet, Danis, Jenkins up and down the roster. I don't think anybody on that team provided Kate with the help that was necessary outside of Alar defensively. And that's what my boy, my sister been saying all year.

[A]

That's it. I mean, like Meryl Streep be saying and Devil Wears Product, that is all.

[B]

But speaking of Merrill brothers and sisters and my non binaries, Sam Mara was Michael Jeffrey Jordan yesterday.

[A]

They said. They said Sam Merrill Lynch Branch is open on Sundays.

[B]

That is just. Wow. Who said that?

[A]

Phenomenal 23 points for Sam Merrill. Shot 70 from the floor. Hit five threes on your eyeballs. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

[B]

And it's toughness.

[A]

James Harden performance where he did nine points, shot 20 from the field. You can't get a win at the crib in Detroit.

[B]

Like you said before, it ran out of gas. And I think that's why. I mean, I was telling folks this around the time the trade happened. Nobody cares about being right sometimes. But I do right now. But I told them boys on the Levitar show, James Harden to Cleveland is not James Harden to Brooklyn. It's not James Harden to Philly. It's not James Harden to LA or Houston. All them places needed something out of my boy. In the Game 7 scenario, Cleveland, all they gotta do is activate their Megatron Autobots and just say, hey, James, pass us the ball when you see us. You can shoot if you want to, but we're pretty sure you don't want to pass us the ball. That's exactly what he did.

[A]

Just don't turn the ball over. And guess what? He did it.

[B]

Yeah. And he's still trying to get that damn three point double foot. File me, please. Off. You gotta stop doing that, Giants. Jimmy Harden, let me tell you, do that once every game.

[A]

Don't do it, Jimmy.

[B]

Jimmy Harden. Do it once again, bro. You pulling it out every two plays. And that's why you're not getting the call. It's goofy, but respect due to what it was supposed to be, bro. Jared Allen, big game. Evan Mobley, super game. Like dumb boys in Detroit did not know what to do with a damn pick and roll to save their life.

[A]

It was like they just forgot.

[B]

Right, bruh? Salute. Man, we. We love you. I love you.

[A]

I will say, too. Donovan Mitchell, I thought, played with a level of aggressiveness right away. Yeah, that was very needed. I know he had an ankle sprain, but he looked very explosive and quick and bouncy from moment one. He was getting downhill, but. But he was also, I thought, the thing that was really impressive. And for whatever reason, the Pistons just didn't see coming, he was getting downhill and then was just dumping it off to Evan Mobley or J. Jared Allen for these easy lobs. They're collapsing on Donovan Mitchell, and he's got an easy wraparound pass for a dunk. And then it's kind of like. Well, I mean, they had 50, 50 something points in the paint on Detroit.

[B]

Yeah, man. And my boy, Krick Cingham, brother, you can't make plays like this and not get besmirched by my sister. K had a play during the game. After this play, after I saw this, I'm like, oh, damn. My boy is not here today. I don't know what this is. The conspiracy. Twitter was eating this one up, boy. Look. Look how Kate on the pick and roll, Jerry Allen falls down here. Jared, what was that, bruh? This is when I was like, bro, what's happening? No, no, no, no, no, no. We're not doing this. Kate.

[A]

He threw.

[B]

Yeah, but it was time for my boys to go home, bro. After I saw that, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You do not need to pull up in New York with none of this, bro. Good luck. I think next year. Gon. They overachieved this year.

[A]

Go ahead, Ask you something crazy.

[B]

Go ahead.

[A]

Like, who is that for them that they should go after?

[B]

I mean, to me, you got to get some scoring. You got to get somebody that. Because that's why I think Cleveland was excelling yesterday, because James didn't have it. But guess what, D. No time, you dig? It's everybody else. Time to step up. Sam Mera. And so I think somebody like Zach Lavine.

[A]

That's what I was thinking.

[B]

You see what I'm saying? From Sacramento.

[A]

That's why I was like, it's crazy. It's a potentially a crazy take, cuz you kind of. I mean, Zach Levine can't guard, though. The thing is they need somebody that can score and guard. Maybe they could go out. And I know that Drew doesn't want to leave and I don't want to trade him.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I feel like Drew's a perfect player for the. The type of team that wants every guy on the floor to be able to defend. Yeah, but like, listen, Osar, we gotta, we gotta talk, bro. Yeah, we gotta talk.

[B]

Come on.

[A]

It's not acceptable to have no jump shot. Is not acceptable. It's not acceptable. I. I said this, I asked this to somebody that was like a shooting coach in the NBA.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I said, could. Could anyone, no matter who they are.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's like already in the NBA, become an elite shooter. And they said, well, what do you mean? I go, I'm not even talking about like perfect form or anything, but. But just like, not leave them open, become a respectable three point shooter if there's not something wrong with their shoulders. Like Alyssa Thomas.

[B]

Right. Cash money records for the 99, 2000, every time they shoot type.

[A]

They said, yeah. This is literally about repetition Y. And coaching. And to me, if you're an NBA player making lots of money and you want to make lots of money and you want to stay on the floor, like, this is the easiest thing for you to be able to do. The thing that's hard is the thing you already do well, right?

[B]

Because I don't know if y' all looking at this. Look at my boy. Punch Max, screw to the way. What row was that? Third row, two hands. A volleyball style. Like, bro, you can't teach this. Like my sister saying, if you got that already, all you gotta do is go put up a thousand shots a day.

[A]

Come on.

[B]

I'm what, formidable, bruh. You right, sis.

[A]

It's. It's just it to me, it's. It's disrespecting the game.

[B]

You might be right, bro. Look, I. I don't know if it. I don't know whether to believe this or not, the Internet or not, but lethal shooter seems like a great guy to pull up it. Get your form right. I sorry.

[A]

Please understand it now.

[B]

So do I got. I understand it now. I saw. Answering. Amen. You might want to pull up on bro too, cuz you can get a little better at that jumper. My boy shot an airball from the corner yesterday, bro. I'm sorry. I was like. And it was short.

[A]

We cannot have that.

[B]

Hell nah, bro.

[A]

It's to the point juju, where they're talking about all the people who, you know, like talk about basketball and espn and like, we. I think you can't have him and Jaylen Duran on the floor together ever.

[B]

That's. That. That's a messed up sentence to be a part of. Imagine if somebody said, bro, we can't have you and Tristan on the court at the same time. I'm. I'm gonna call you, bro. We're gonna get in the gym and work on some stuff ourselves before them folks get the contracts ready.

[A]

40M's can't pay him that.

[B]

Look, you can go find that somewhere if you want to, bro. If they gonna give it to you, go ahead, bro. Washington look like they spending money, but here in Detroit, we going for something totally different, man. It was a great year, but we still fell short, so, I mean, get well soon. Salute. But they, the Cleveland Cavaliers about to move it on to the New York Knickerbockers. The. The fans with the plans. Like, what do you predict out of this upcoming series? Do. Does Cleveland have a chance or is it just a foregone conclusion?

[A]

To me, it's a foregone conclusion. The only way I see Cleveland winning this series is that their front court has to absolutely dominate.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, you have to get Mitchell Robinson and foul trouble. You gotta really. You gotta, like, make. Or make Mike Brown take him off of the floor because you just foul the shit out of them and make him miss those free throws. Yeah, but because they're a little bit. You know, their depth at center is not really there. And, like, Cor. Anthony Towns has pretty damn good series against these. These Cavs. So, you know, for me, it's like, I need Evan Mobley to stretch the floor. I need him to hit those threes that he was hitting against Detroit. I need Jared Allen putbacks. I need dunks. I need ferociousness. You need Donovan Mitchell to stay completely healthy and get downhill at will. You need Max Dr. And Sam Merill to be their best versions at all times. You need Max Dr. To lock Jaylen Brunson down. All these things have to go perfect.

[B]

Ah, I just. I. That sentence is kind.

[A]

Can't get there. Can't get there.

[B]

Because that's my biggest problem.

[A]

A hurt on Cade. Max was great on Cade. But listen, Jaylen Brunson's very shifty. He's a lot smaller than Cade, a lot more crafty than Cade, and uses a lot more trickery than Cade. So, yeah, I'm. I think OGN and Obi's gonna be back too, which is not a good time for the Cavs. All of this, to me, is Very. The bench for the. For New York needs to turn into a pumpkin again. There's just so many things that has to go right for the Cavs and wrong for the Knicks that I don't see them all happening simultaneously. So I'm going to take the Knicks in five or six.

[B]

It's hard to argue with that, bro, because as cool as it sound, like you say, Matt Scru. Hey, let's see it, bro. That's Jalen Brunson. Oh, excuse me. That's Michael. Jalen Brunson on that side, brother. I'm not sure y' all had to deal with something like this thus far.

[A]

It's Shaylin Gilous Brunson out there, right, bruh?

[B]

Cause my boy is so shifty. And my boy. Not only that, you got New York behind you. And last year, you heard how it felt to lose to the damn Pacers. The year before that, you felt how. I mean, this process could start now. I feel like, bro, just the wheel that my boy got. He got his dad pops right here. Cleveland. It's gonna be a tall order, especially if them other guys feel like playing tonight. Like Macabre Bridges, if you gonna get last series. Macabre Bridges, hang it up. Because you can put him on Donno. You could put OG On James. Excuse me. Pardon me. Jimmy. You could put a cat on every. You feel me? Like, they have matchups up and down that roster, specifically.

[A]

James is a serious player. We have to just call him Jimmy.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, Jim. Jimmy Harden, bro.

[A]

Jimmy H. Jimmy Harden is. His is like, so him right now. It's like, jimmy, what up, boy? What you doing? He's like. He's. He's eight. Lady on the porch. I ain't nothing. Just chilling. He's just blessed, you know what I mean? But he's out there. He's out there hooping. But that's Jimmy now.

[B]

Yeah, that's Jimmy. Salute to Tim. Hopefully you can get it together in this next series and get you a couple wins. But moving out to the west side spurs taking on them boys, the Thunder, people are saying this is where the championship will come from. That W E S T who you got, sis?

[A]

What makes me very nervous is how Vegas feels about this series. They have this, the Thunder, like, at almost minus 300 to win the series. That's crazy. That's like.

[B]

It's kind of crazy.

[A]

80% probability. I think it's probably less likely than that. Yeah, I don't think that the basketball element of this matchup is really being taken into consideration. Not yet, you know, Wemby. Wemby's a factor that almost nobody can really put into your calculator and get a result for. Put that in your TI 85 and smoke it. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. It's like, error. It's an error.

[B]

404.

[A]

4. What? What? You're like, just might as well turn that TI85 into. Make it say hello. I don't know, like. And Steph Castle and Dylan Harper, they're not playing like. Like youngsters. They're playing like seasoned vets. You got. Harrison Barnes has got championship experience. The Green anti strip club cornet. He's doing his thing. He's got championship experience. You've got, you know, Kelton Johnson, he saved Earth with Steph Curry in Team usa.

[B]

No, wait a second.

[A]

Not with Steph Curry. With Kevin Durant. There we go, the bubble in Japan.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

My bad, fam. My bad. He wouldn't have made that roster in Paris. And they said no. Boy, everybody wants to go to Paris. So, yeah, I mean, they've got, you know, Wemby has Team France experience. They've got a bunch of high leverage moments that they've been a part of.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So it's all about, is Jalen Williams going to disrupt the flow of how this team looks now that he's come back? We did see that Jason Tatum did. He did disrupt the flow of the balance when he re injured himself. They didn't know how to go back to their original identity. So, yeah, I. I think the spurs have a puncher's chance.

[B]

Yeah, bro. I think it's. You hit it on the head. Because even if, say. Let's just say Jalen Williams comes back and it gives a little hitch in there. Giddy up. Hey, Jalen, sit down right quick. Aj, you know what to do. So I feel like it's gonna be a tired task because they are at their super est right now. The Thunder Shay just got his next award. Just. I mean, everything is clicking right now. He just bought everybody aps that.

[A]

Not even the. Not even the Casio ones either. He got the real aps, right.

[B]

These ain't swatches.

[A]

No, they're not swatches.

[B]

No, these are the real deals. Capital A and P. But I feel like if there's ever a chance to steal one, it's tonight, because them boys got all that going on. And, you know, my boy Toronto guys over there, Drake just dropped. You feel me? Like, them boys is really high right now off our life. So if you're Gonna get one. This will be a great one to steal. And then turn the. The eight ball back on them boys.

[A]

And by the time you listen to this, the game has already been over. So we look smart or we look dumb. So now you know, game. Game one result has already concluded. You can tell us whether we forecasted this appropriately. I think that San Antonio is a really hard place to play too. Like this is like there hasn't been that great of a challenge yet for okc. They play Phoenix. Yeah. You clap them up. There's like no resistance there. And then you play the Lakers. No resistance there. I mean it was like competitive for three quarters and then, you know, they turned on the Jets. So we're going to see a real challenge. I feel like the spurs have been more tested.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Than. Than the Thunder. You're playing the Wolves that just beat the Nuggets. Even with a hobbled ant and O. Dante and her hurt ao. Yeah, fine. Portland was a lot more pesky than I think that the Phoenix Suns were. They were up in three of those games. Out of those five games, they were up by double digits. They were up by 20 something in game four. So I mean. Yeah, I. I like to think that the spurs are going to be able to give them a test.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. And I do agree with Earth. I think the. The champion is coming out of this west. I mean if, if the Knicks and the spurs get there, we've seen in that cup, the dinks can make this a valiant effort against the Spurs. I'm just not sure it's going to translate into the finals if there right. And borrowing energies. But I 1000% agree with you, bro. Until you beat the Man. I don't know what to say to you. And the man is standing right there across from you starting last night. But moving on to a little segment that we used to call. What? Stop. Yes sir. Man. I don't know if you've seen over the weekend my sister Asia Wilson. Excuse me. Pardon me. Queen Wilson came to. To Atlanta, man. Got the dub for my dream. I already. It was a close game.

[A]

Can I ask you a question?

[B]

Go ahead and ask.

[A]

What did you think about the. That girl university?

[B]

What are you talking about? Asia Wilson, that girl university. You know, we just. We. We like to have fun. We. We like to allow our sisters jokes to try to get off. You know, the same way I'm pretty sure that Dion Dawkins from the Buffalo Bills didn't go to you already. Snow University. She had an attempt at him or. I don't know if Atlanta.

[A]

Oh, my God. But Asia's not a funny person. Like, she's not that funny.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

Like Draymond.

[A]

It's like if Draymond Green tried that. It's like, you're not funny. You're, like, already a villain. There's already ammunition here. It's like if Kennedy Carter.

[B]

Oh, no, hold on.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Asia funny, bruh. Did you see when she first put the bob on her head?

[A]

Oh, yeah, that was funny. But what do you think would happen if Caitlin Clark would have said, I'm from that girl university? The Internet would have exploded, bro.

[B]

What? And they would have had that girl university on the next Indiana Fever jerseys. It would have been crazy. You saw that was catching hell too, for not putting on Caton on the graphic, bruh. Salute to Dave, man. Dave, you got. You can't be pulling out the this is unfair stick for promo pictures, cuz, like, come on, bro. What you thought about that? That. Do they have to put Caitlyn on every promo picture, or is it okay to let Raven get some shine, man?

[A]

You can't leave Caitlyn Clark off the promo and put Raven on the photo.

[B]

What's the. I mean, why? Like, I feel like because if you watching this game. But they. So is the. Are the pictures moving forward? Because you. I'm. I'm willing to. I'm understanding right now. I'm just having the conversation. Do you don't think that moving forward, we could involve some of the lesser players in some of these promos? Because I feel like if, you know, the fever plan, you know what's going on? Is it. Is it. Is it. Is it a foul on the people who didn't put her up there?

[A]

Can't do it. If you're gonna put Raven on there, you have to put Caitlyn on there. Can't not put your star player on there. It would be like if they put Melissa on there and not Asia on there. Camp. Like, what. What is Melissa doing here?

[B]

I mean, I definitely see your side. I just think that we could. We could progress on that. I feel like it's. It's a silly thing to get upset about. How about that? Are you upset about it, or is

[A]

it just, like, to get upset about? But you know what time we're living in. You know what I mean? Like, if we put the white man's okot on there and we. And we did not put angel on there, it would be like, what. What the helly? What is happening?

[B]

But Nobody wouldn't be us. And my thing is. Yes. And that's where I would like to. We can close this loop. It's not that I don't think it's a conversation that should be had. I just don't think we should deploy the troops for it. Like, you know what I'm saying?

[A]

Like, thousand percent agree.

[B]

We ain't got to take Raven down before. Because it is Raven just on the pitcher.

[A]

I don't think we should be deploying the troops for almost anything.

[B]

And there we go. But moving back into the Boy Stop territory, Asia Wilson that was playing the Connecticut sign. And you know how to in the lane. You gotta wait until the ball is shot by the free throw shooter. Look at my sister. She jumped.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

A little too early of a jump.

[A]

I love that Becky Hammond.

[B]

Hey, bro, you know what?

[A]

We're actually. I recant everything I said. Asia is actually comedy. No, like, she's truly comedy.

[B]

After the game, bam. Treated Asia pick up a flamingo, cuz that's how she look. Asa, you funny. Hell, bro, she.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Asia. Girl, stop. But go ahead and get your lane violation facts. Moving on, bro. Did you see the ball? Miles from the books. Miles Turner, he took a flame towards to the bus organization talking about them boys be late. Giannis don't ever get fine. Nobody ever get fine. Doc ain't this brother ain't the. The hot dog line ain't my boy. Bobby Porters heard all that. He was like, boy, this got to be AI. What do you think on Miles Turner? I can tell he trying to get traded, but is this the method he should go with?

[A]

Listen, I'm tired of Giannis. And you know what I'm most tired of about Giannis? Is that he has concocted this reputation. Yeah, he's like this family man and he's like, got these dad jokes and that. He's like, so likable and so jolly, and it's like, no, Giannis, you. You don't want to be the villain. But like, you, all the things that you do are villainous and diva. Like, you. You show up three hours late for the plane consistently, you think you can just do whatever you want to do. Like, fine, you're Giannis. You've won an MVP multiple times. But, like, wear that. Don't make everybody keep this a state secret for you, okay? We know you don't want to be in Milwaukee.

[B]

You.

[A]

You keep acting. You put the Leonardo DiCaprio meme. I'm not leaving. Like, you're staying. You're not staying. You're not staying. You're annoying as to me right now. And now you're like, oh, why would. Why would. And I don't even like Miles Turner.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Why would Miles Turner do such a. I don't even like him. But guess what? Brianna Stewart asked you the question, who was it? And you said it was Giannis. Who else you think it was?

[B]

Right? Sometime you aggravate some folks enough, they don't got to carry your back, bro. Yeah, aggravating.

[A]

You're not staying away. You're not staying with us anyway. Why do I care about your feelings?

[B]

And I've got my own millions of my own family. I'm a guy. I'm. I'm a family man. You feel me?

[A]

So, yeah, listen, if you were showing up late to the recording through by three hours, every single show, and someone was like, yo, who was it that showed up late? Was it Rebecca? Was it Dylan? It's like, nah, it was juju. Okay.

[B]

What, Like I'd be mad.

[A]

Yeah, you. And if I did that to you, too, you'd be like, come on, man.

[B]

Right.

[A]

If I was doing that to you, you probably wouldn't tell on me, though.

[B]

No, I'd be like, nah, I think. I think we was all late for real for that one. Yeah, that one, too. That was all us. But, yeah, bro, but you mentioned earlier, bro, about the. The future of the books. And I'm gonna get a books of fair warning right now. Do not trade for Jalen Brown. I don't give a damn if you have the correct deal that makes the most sense for your future. And you got people coming. If you trade for Jalen Brown, you're gonna be right back in his boat in two years when he ready to get the hell up out of there. Do not trade for my boy. It's not gonna work. But speaking of my. Speaking of my Celtics, when we get out of here, D. White, my boy. Look at here. I don't know. This probably has been going on like this pissed me off in off season. I don't give a damn about none of this if it's the opposite. Abrah, can you put some shades on my boy's song? It's too soon. It's. But if I go to the bar and they got D. White on the table right quick. White. L. Oh, hey, man, get your money bit, bro, but we just lost. I don't want to see it yet. Am I. Am I tripping? Am I a fan score?

[A]

If I want to see this, you're Definitely a fan. Scoring. But why do they have that cup of Sam Adams on D? White like it's his bicep. Like that's actually an extension of his arm that is like a foamy cup. Like that looks like his shoulder, and then his arm comes down. It's terrible. Derek, White Ale. The white ale with spices, bruh.

[B]

Can we change the name? Like my boy play in Boston. Can we say Dyl, or we just gonna go ahead and lean into it? The white L over here come get you some. And my boy looking like. Go ahead, take the picture. Did you take it?

[A]

Just. It looks like, AI, to be honest with you.

[B]

Right? Man. Salute Alan Iverson. But that's gonna do it for another episode of the Alley oop, Man. Any last words on the way out of here, sis?

[A]

I try to tell y', all, okay? Don't come at me acting like I don't know hoops. I told you it was gonna happen. This team should have walked to the finals. They were a 1 seed. The Knicks are vulnerable. They got Mike Brown. You got 60 wins. You let Cleveland come into your crib and get a dub and beat your ass along the way. And it looked embarrassing, and you look disgusting along the way. And you did exactly what I said you were gonna do on the way to me telling you it was gonna happen. So don't ever put disrespect on my name again.

[B]

I saw Tristane come across my phone last night. I already knew what it was.

[A]

The money. Mush. Put money on the Detroit Pistons. Minus four and a half, plus one and a half, plus four and a half, plus seven and a half, plus nine and a half, just to make sure those mugs were dead.

[B]
