A
Kylie Jenner, my sister. You, ma', am, get the hero of the day award from me.
[00:08]
B
Until a hero comes along.
[00:10]
A
Louder.
[00:11]
B
With the strength to carry on Louder. When you wash your tears aside loudest and your.
[00:28]
A
Welcome back to the alley O. We are in the yayo you already know. I'm joined by my sister. How does it feel if I don't
[00:36]
B
go back to slanging yay O? Slanging yay O to get my mayo.
[00:44]
A
Okay, let's go there. So when were you slanging yayo, sis?
[00:47]
B
Never. But I always think, well, once I did hold some yay oh, at Burger King, but those were little packets of mayo.
[00:57]
A
Oh, there we go. See? No O.J. i was like, we finna incriminate my sister right? Damn.
[01:03]
B
Now back into mayo. Whenever I hear, like Miami, like Yale, I always think about that song.
[01:12]
A
Right now we got Dylan on the monitors, my boy. We look, we don't know how to act. We got professionalism around here. We don't know how to act right now. There's things.
[01:22]
B
It's just like when you go into another dimension and everything is correct except for, like, one thing. Slightly altered. Like, the program is just Dylan. Like, all we see now is just Dylan on our monitor.
[01:35]
A
Keep it there. I love it. Let's watch my boy the whole time, man. But look, you know who should have had Dylan? The Cleveland Cavaliers. Because, boy, oh, boy, could they use a glue guy or five. How did you feel about my boys not only laying the egg, but it appears as the boys might have quit on them.
[01:56]
B
I think that's right.
[01:58]
A
Yeah.
[01:58]
B
To be honest, I think they quit after the first game. We call that a lay down and stay down. You're up 22 with seven minutes left to go. You let that game one go. That changed everything. I think it. It sapped.
[02:12]
A
Yeah.
[02:13]
B
Their soul, their will to win. I know that James Harden does have a will to win.
[02:18]
A
And in the strip club for sure
[02:21]
B
he'd be in Houston probably today. He's already there, fam. He was probably there last night eating a little bit of foie gras, wrapped bac slash lobster. The club giving out M's. Probably hanging with a little baby, having a little birthday party celebration. Gemini season juju.
[02:41]
A
Yep. And you know, I think my boy might have been in New York last night celebrating. He was in the Empire State. But we ain't gonna kick it off with the hate. We gotta kick it off with. Why not in New York, man. Excuse me. Pardon me, Stew York, because she already did the championship. The people forgetting, they like oh, New York ain't won the championship since 1970. Since 2025. 24. You dig? How do you feel about this New York Knicks team? I already. I'm already going to give them best Nick ever, Jaylen Branson. All the Y. Y, Y. But can they get the job done, though?
[03:21]
B
Well, B, I'm the only one to get the job done.
[03:24]
A
I'm probably for you.
[03:26]
B
Yeah. That's. That's the reason I didn't do the second part anyway. I think you're right. I think Jalen Brunson is the best Nick ever.
[03:33]
A
Yeah.
[03:34]
B
I think. Especially when you're talking about, let's be real, he's up six feet. He's not above six feet. He's like 5 11. When you're 5 11, you can get anything you want. He's basically Shay. Only Shea is 6 5.
[03:47]
A
Yeah.
[03:47]
B
And JB is doing all the same things that Shea is doing, only he's shorter than you and smaller than you. It's not to say you're short, but you know what I mean.
[03:57]
A
Right.
[03:58]
B
So, yes. I think, though, when you look at the spurs and the Thunder as rosters, they both have significant issues with injuries.
[04:07]
A
Yeah.
[04:07]
B
So even with Wemby, even with, you know, SGA in these Thunder. No. Jalen Williams, probably for the rest of the series, maybe for the finals. AJ Mitchell's got a grade two calf strain. You can't do nothing with that. So now you're talking about Lou Dort. You're talking about needing all the games from Alex Crusoe. You're talking about, like, who else? I mean, you need Isaiah Joe. You need guys that you're never needing to rely on. You need Jarrett. You need Jared McCain. In all these other instances, we didn't need those guys. They're just nice to haves. And it's one thing to have a nice game when you're a nice to have. It's another thing to perform when that is what is expected and needed of you in order to win the game.
[04:50]
A
Yeah. And I think those two injuries for OKC are the most backbreaking. Jalen Williams going down was awesome as long as you had AJ and now AJ down, too. Holy Caruso. We need you. Who Isaiah Joe? Who?
[05:07]
B
Wiggins? Is that Wiggins?
[05:10]
A
Is that. Please.
[05:12]
B
Jer McCain.
[05:12]
A
Sam Preston, help.
[05:14]
B
Now they're burning Jerry McCain up because he's got the. They're calling it what they call it maint. What is it? Maintenance Salon. They're calling it his. The Painted Nails, but they're the. The Manicure but the manicure. But they're calling it something else.
[05:27]
A
I don't know what you're talking about.
[05:29]
B
Paint on the nail. There's a male name for. Oh, the male, like male salon or something like that.
[05:35]
A
That's not what it's called. I promise it's not called that.
[05:37]
B
Okay. Anyway, now you got him getting burned up. Because it's one thing when you're putting 25 on the spurs head and you got the red, white and blue freaking nail paint on your nails. It's another thing when you're over seven and a quarter and you're losing to the spurs and you already got to sit your stars in the third quarter and they're basically letting go of the rope. In the lord's year of 2026, I saw a team come back from down 22 with seven minutes left to go. So the fact that the Thunder were like, all right, let's just pack it up. I'mma see you later. Means they know that they had no chance that game.
[06:12]
A
Yeah. Jerry McCain is this. Jalen Brunson is this. I just saw that as you were talking, but you right on. You right on the money. I think ever since they gave SGA that MVP trophy, it's been time for him to be one. Now, like, you can't just do what you've been doing. Don't play no fourth quarters. Yeah. You get the Suns, you get to relax. Nah, bro. It's time now. I think this time right here is more important than all the other time we've seen SGA. Yes. Getting that ring last year was awesome. Game 7 against the team who if they would have had they stopped player. I don't know how that went. You feel me? I think this is the most important time in SGA's career right now. Either you finish, cement yourself in stone. You can't touch me. Or MC Hammer is not on the table. We can touch a bit, bro. You did. Because I don't. I don't see you giving this effort that you gave game four and it working out for you against the spurs, nor the Knicks. Because might I add to you, I do think the Knicks got a chance to take this thing home. Especially when you add all these injuries on the other side.
[07:26]
B
A thousand percent for sure. A thousand percent. I mean, you look at all of the pieces that the Knicks have, you know, not just OG Anunoby who looks like he's back, right? He looks like everything all good.
[07:39]
A
Yeah.
[07:39]
B
You've got, you know, Mikhail Bridges that you paid a Bajillion dollars for a bajillion picks for you've got, obviously Jalen Brunson, you got cat. But when you're getting Ray Allen production from Landry Shamit, boy, when you're getting like, Deuce McBride giving you buckets, when you've got Jordan Clarkson, oh, my goodness,
[08:05]
A
best hair in the game.
[08:06]
B
Jose Grand Theft Alvarado. Like, everybody is coming to play. I think Mike Brown. This is Mike Brown's best, most legacy cementing. When you talk about two coaches that could not have gone the opposite direction when this series started, it was like, I'm sus on Mike Brown, and I think we all agree Kenny Atkinson's the man.
[08:25]
A
Yeah.
[08:25]
B
And I was like, kenny Atkins is fired. Mike Brown, one of the greats.
[08:30]
A
Exactly. By the time you're hearing this, if Kenny Atkinson ain't fired, he been fired. Low key. They just trying to find a way to put words on it. Breaking news. Because ain't no way in hell, bro. You talking about analytically. I mean, what we won two out of three.
[08:50]
B
I don't know if you follow analytics,
[08:53]
A
but analytic would have got you out, boy. Who, Sir, If I'm the owner. What you say? Say it again. Just like you say.
[09:00]
B
I don't know if you heard that.
[09:01]
A
Gather.
[09:01]
B
Oh, yeah, get. Tell me. Gather again. I literally, guys, text. Text juju. Anytime someone says gather a lot on the broadcast and you can tell it irritates him. No, he was like, I'm not sure if you've heard of these analytics. Not sure if you follow those. I don't. I see you making a crazy face. I see. Yeah, no, yeah. It's crazy because you didn't say, like, we should be up. You said we are up analytically in expected points. We're up to one. We are up, bruh.
[09:33]
A
And then on top of that, for your coach to get dunked on quotely. Is that the Metaphorically. Verbally, by a player. He preaching all that analytics from analytics. That boy Josh Hart say, look, man, analytics are like lamp posts to a blind person. You can lean on them, but it ain't gonna get you home, man. I think the opposite. He lent on that lamp. Damn Analytic. And it got himself sun right the f home. You feel me, cuz? Boy, what you doing? I think compound that with no timeouts from. It was 22 to 18, 18 to 16, 16 to 12, 12 to 8.
[10:13]
B
Time out. Time out now. Right now.
[10:16]
A
Nope, he didn't call him. He lost the timeout. She was gonna lose anyway, bro. All this added together, bro, I'mma Marlon Wayne style. Peace out, brother. You're out of here.
[10:27]
B
Compound that with Game 2, where the Cleveland Cavaliers were coming back. Yeah, it was like, I think it might have been just four to six points. We're gonna need time. Let's stop them.
[10:39]
A
Exactly. And it worked like a charm. So. Yeah, bro. Kenny Atkinson, look, I think he was assistant coach with Steve Kerr for a little while. Go pull back on. Pull back up.
[10:51]
B
Actually pull back.
[10:52]
A
Pull up on Mike Brown. See if you can get a little spot, man, because this ain't it, man.
[10:56]
B
Could you imagine after this series, like, hey, fam, I'm not sure what you're doing after this whole finals thing. Let me talk to you about a job, fam. Let me talk to you about coming on staff, bro.
[11:06]
A
It was the whole. I'm talking about top to bottom of everything. Cleveland had on the substitutions he didn't make on game one. The substitutions he did make too early in game two, bro. Why am I seeing Keon Ellis this early, bro? I know how to use Kean Ellis. Why don't you? You feel me? So, yeah, get my boy out of here, Mo. Back to the west, though, after that Game 3 loss against the Thunder. Greg Popovich in the locker room, you feel me?
[11:36]
B
He said, I don't know what y' all are on.
[11:39]
A
Look, look, before you finish that. I know, I know what he didn't say about no damn analytics.
[11:44]
B
No, he did not. He did not say analytically, we're actually up to one instead of down 21. He said, Listen, if you don't leave, back to Oklahoma City with it being two. Two. Yeah, you guys are cooked.
[12:01]
A
Capital. Hooked on it. Because, boy, he's right. Having Pop as a mentor has been such a blessing for this young team. I think that's one of the reasons they ahead of schedule, because they still got Master Splinter. He might not be as spry as he once did, but who is Master Splinter? Oh, the question I've been waiting for my whole life. Look, we only got a couple minutes here, so I'm tell you this off camera. Long story short, he got the Ninja Turtles together. He made them do a extraordinary things. He got the Ninja Turtles to believe in themselves when they just thought they was turtles, you know? What am I, a turtle? He had them, boy, doing karate, man. Real deal. Karate, jujitsu.
[12:43]
B
No, see, that's not what I was asking. Who in this case is Master Splitters? Is that Popovich?
[12:49]
A
Yeah, he's Master Splinter.
[12:50]
B
Oh, okay.
[12:51]
A
I went. I went too far, huh?
[12:52]
B
You went too deep. I Know the Splinter reference. I thought he was actually Master Splinter was the villain.
[12:57]
A
No, Master Special. Super Shredder. That's Shredder.
[13:00]
B
Oh, that's Shredder.
[13:01]
A
Yeah. I just always want to be Shredder because he was cool. He had a spice here and here and boy. But yeah, bruh, have him pop in that locker room still, bruh, that's so fire.
[13:12]
B
Who's the. Who's the red turtle?
[13:14]
A
Oh, the red turtle. That's. What's that? Michelangelo? No, no, no, that's. That's Donnie, Michelangelo, Donatello and Rudolph. No, Raphael.
[13:25]
B
Raphael.
[13:26]
A
Salute to Danny for the alley. No pun intended, but yeah, bro. Raphael. Oh, Raphael. That's easy. That's Dylan. Dylan Harper.
[13:34]
B
Dylan Harper.
[13:34]
A
Come on.
[13:35]
B
Who's Wemby?
[13:36]
A
Wimby is Michelangelo. He's like that guy with the hockey stick that came in out of nowhere. Casey Jones, like, whoa. I ain't never seen this before. You can fight with the hockey mask on. I can't even see with the hockey mask on. You fighting, kicking ass, seeing peripherals. That's Wim.
[13:53]
B
Yeah, that's a good one.
[13:54]
A
But yeah, but I think the spurs, at this point, the spurs season relies on the health of Dylan Harper, the health of the rest of the crew. Because at this current juncture at this recording time.
[14:09]
B
And dear. And Fox, that high angle sprays no joke.
[14:14]
A
And that's where I say he's important. He's super duper important. But I think he's important to have every other game. I would think, oh my God. Strike that. Bleep that out. I didn't say that because Steph Castle had a what, 20 part time lover?
[14:36]
B
You can't have him every day. Listen, his flaws start coming out.
[14:41]
A
Look man, Castle had 20 turnovers in two games. So yeah, we need my boy Fox. But I think now Harper situation is a little bit.
[14:48]
B
They're already talking about, hey, we're gonna need to move on from Deer and Fox because we can't hold Dylan Harper as a six. Man, you know that Dylan Harper, really quick side road. Ron Harper told me that Dylan Harper wanted to be a Washington wizard. He would have rather been a Washington wizard by himself. Okay, Being the. He said that being the man than wanting to go to San Antonio. Are you out of your God damn mind? You're about to have a ring at 23 years old. You'll never win a ring in Washington. People wanting to be the man makes no goddamn sense.
[15:19]
A
Oh, come on.
[15:20]
B
I want to be the man. I gotta do it all by myself. I'm so good, bro.
[15:24]
A
Ain't nothing wrong with being the man. Sometimes you want to be the man.
[15:28]
B
Who's one that's been the man?
[15:30]
A
Who's one that's been the man?
[15:31]
B
Yeah, who's the one that's been the man?
[15:33]
A
SCA was the man last year. Five. We know that. That's how they say it.
[15:37]
B
But then there's, like, all the other men. Like, you got Jalen Williams, you got Chet Holmgren. Chat's the man who won.
[15:42]
A
There was a man. Jalen Brown
[15:46]
B
was the man as well. He just became the man.
[15:50]
A
Jalen Brown's Batman. Jason Tatum was Batman. So I don't know how that's what that word. They were both demand.
[15:56]
B
That's what I'm saying. But if you want to be the man. No other men around.
[16:02]
A
Yeah.
[16:03]
B
No other man can. Ain't no other man.
[16:06]
A
Don't nobody know that song? Hell, no. I wasn't going there. I'm. I'm hanging on to every word you say. I'm like, what?
[16:13]
B
Okay. Ain't no other man. Ain't just you.
[16:16]
A
What's the first word?
[16:17]
B
Ain't no other man.
[16:18]
A
Ain't no. I thought you said ain't no other man. What are you?
[16:22]
B
Ain't no other man but you. Who has won Jordan at Pippen? SGA has Jalen Williams, Chad Holgren, Alex Crusoe. Who has been the man alone and
[16:37]
A
won Dirt, Navinsky, Jason Kidd. He wasn't a man. Jason. Kid with no damn.
[16:46]
B
Listen, they should not have won that. They should not have won that ring, though. You need other men. You can't go to an abyss and be like, yeah, I'm trying to have my own team. You're 22 years old. What are you talking about?
[16:57]
A
You right. But at the same time, though, if I get drafted and I'm having success, don't call my mama to ask what I was about to do. Oh, my daddy, for real, my dad. Oh, you know what? He wanted to go. He wanted to go to New Orleans with his granddad over there. But no.
[17:16]
B
Why is he snitching on his son? To be honest, if I saw my mom snitch on me, you know what she was actually about to do, right? She didn't even want this thing. Mom. We gotta talk, fam, bruh.
[17:31]
A
Speaking of talking, man. Speaking of partnerships and talking, man, I. I'm a Celtics fan. Now. Let me. Let me just make sure people know that people always remember that I own all the jerseys until I wear one. And then people be like, what the you like the grizzlies. But Kylie Jenner, my sister, you, ma', am, get the hero of the day award from me.
[17:59]
B
Until a hero comes along Louder. With the strength to carry on Louder. When you wash your tears aside Loudest and you.
[18:13]
A
And you know you can survive. My sister Kylie, she was courtside with my boy Tim to the mophie and my. My girl to the mophie. Yeah. I mean, I'm workshoping out.
[18:25]
B
Yeah, okay.
[18:26]
A
But my girl about the. You know, I mean, my bout. She bought the lick, man. You know, you be courtside sometimes, and you want access to certain things, and you be like, ah, damn, I don't feel like walking to the concession stand. It looked like my sister had the liquor in her purse. Dylan, if you will look at my sister, you know, I mean, she got a little vodka for my boy. Look at. He don't know what's about to hit him. If you thought. Yes, it's vodka, man. What you thought was in here. Yes. Everywhere I go, it's on me. Now get back. Now get back to cheering for your little partners. Salute. Assist, man. You need a rock in your corner, man. Round of applause.
[19:06]
B
She had his back. And she had the mixer, right?
[19:09]
A
You feel me? Yeah.
[19:10]
B
And she had the mixer. Listen, chase this down.
[19:13]
A
Come on now.
[19:15]
B
Chase that one down.
[19:16]
A
Right? You know, during that seat, that series, though, when I saw. I mean, of course, Game 1 was terrible for the Cavs, but in Game 2, this is when I thought they gave up. It was a play whenever I think it was about the third, fourth quarter. Had to be the fourth quarter. Jalen brushing, just dribbling around. All of a sudden, he found himself wide open for a practice layup, bruh. I would have unplugged the season then if I had control. Like, we're not gonna do this 21 skunk, man. Dylan, do you got that video when the Cavs gave up. Look at this right here. Now look to the bruh. I could have scored that one. Tristan. I think you might could have put this one in. Look at him coming down. Yeah, I mean, this is a. This is an NBA playoff game.
[20:10]
B
Oh, my God.
[20:11]
A
Come on, man. After that, I was like, yeah, I'm. Look, pack these boys up now.
[20:16]
B
Kind of trotted. He didn't even turn the after jets on. He kind of trotted.
[20:22]
A
Look at Cat. Look at cat. Did the LeBron and D. Wade. Yup, there it is. But hell, bro, you're not gonna Cat D. Wade. I mean, hell, nah. As we get the coach, this is on you, my Brother, get the. Don't let the doorknob hit you where the good Lord splits you. Salute to Ali.
[20:42]
B
I forgot Ollie was here.
[20:44]
A
Tristan, dog named Ali, he ain't causing a whole bunch of confusion right now. But lastly, man, also in out the west. My boy, Ms. Johnson, man, like we said, he been coaching them.
[20:56]
B
Seattle legend.
[20:57]
A
Seattle legend. Come on, man, stand up. Stand up, west side. Stand up, man. You feel me?
[21:02]
B
I'm in a mood. I feel like I'm not right today.
[21:05]
A
You are the rightest. Look at my boy, Carter. Bryant had a couple rough moments, but look at my boy coaching him up. Come on, you got it.
[21:14]
B
You got it.
[21:16]
A
And most people be like, you know what? Some people need rough coaching. Some need hard, soft coaching.
[21:22]
B
Go back out there, right?
[21:23]
A
I think it's perfect coaching, because you could tell Michael J. Fox behind him is agreeing.
[21:28]
B
He like, oh, not Michael.
[21:29]
A
He heard him. He heard him. Look, watch. Watch Michael J. Fox. When first hear it, he like, what is this about to happen? And he's like, yep, yep.
[21:38]
B
He get him, get him. He's like, let me look. Let me mind my own business, but let me keep watching.
[21:43]
A
Let me right? He was shaking his head in agreement, like, yeah, bro, you got to do that, bro. Coach is right. You're not doing it right there. Exactly.
[21:50]
B
He looked at car like, just listen.
[21:52]
A
Listen to coach, bro. He got you, bro. And it was very emotional for my boy. He went to the sideline. He made another mistake, and guess what? Tears in his eyes and everything. Guess who came to the rescue. Casey Jones. Arm around my boy. Nah, bro, we need you. We. We got you. We need you now. Now we gonna need you, bro. Papa got him in the locker room as well. Gave him encouragement, encouraging words, how fast he is. I think that this is a team. The same way we praise the Thunder for being a team cohesive. This spurs team is. This is the first version of them. Like, this is them for the first time already. This cohesive, bruh. Come on, man. You can't help but love it, man.
[22:38]
B
They're only gonna get more experienced and scary, right?
[22:42]
A
And if they make it to that championship, it's right.
[22:44]
B
No one's getting one for the next decade, right?
[22:46]
A
If you're gonna win Knicks, this is the year.
[22:49]
B
It's the year.
[22:50]
A
This is the year right here. I'm picking the Knicks. Almost damn near right now.
[22:54]
B
Almost damn near.
[22:55]
A
Almost damn near. I'm picking them.
[22:57]
B
Are you picking them or are you not picking them?
[22:59]
A
Look, I'm almost damn near picking the Knicks.
[23:02]
B
Almost damn near is doing a lot.
[23:04]
A
I just need to know what Dylan Harper hamstring up to every hour on the hour.
[23:11]
B
Oh, my God. Okay. I don't know that that was a prediction, but we'll take it.
[23:15]
A
It's a prediction. Hootie hoo. Knuckle up, buckle up. That's the code for the killers, man. But thank you so much, everybody for joining. That's gonna do it for another episode of the Alley OOP in the Miao. Any last words on the way out of here?
[23:36]
B
Thank you so much. Juju for the the no Limit Soldier bandana around the neck. It inspired all of this tomfoolery and excitement.
[23:47]
A
Tell me what kind of brother got diamonds that are bling blind? Ya. Thank you as I thank you as always, our brother, the distinguished Dylan, as well as Miss Rebecca Donahue, man. Also, thank you to the staff today in the Levitar. So my boy, Danny B to the
[24:05]
B
folks in the back.
[24:06]
A
Come on, Zaz. I see you. Come on, Danny. Gq. What's happening? My sister. Alex, what are you doing?

Overview

In this lively episode of "Alley Oop," Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and friends dive into the dramatic collapse of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jalen Brunson's emergence as possibly the greatest New York Knick ever, critical injuries impacting playoff favorites, and spirited debates over coaching decisions—especially Kenny Atkinson’s fate and Mike Brown’s legacy. With rapid-fire banter, cultural references, and musical interludes, the crew delivers sharp, comedic insights on NBA playoffs and the shifting league landscape.

[02:12] Team's morale is compared to James Harden’s purported will to win "in the strip club."
- Quote: "I know that James Harden does have a will to win. And in the strip club for sure." ([02:12] - B)
[20:16] On a particular play where Jalen Brunson gets a wide-open practice layup late in the series:
- Quote: "I would have unplugged the season then if I had control. Like, we're not gonna do this 21 skunk, man." ([19:16] - A)
[10:13] Heavy criticism of Kenny Atkinson for poor timeout management during Cavs' meltdown:
- Quote: "Nope, he didn't call him. He lost the timeout. She was gonna lose anyway, bro." ([10:16] - A)

2. Jalen Brunson & the New York Knicks' Resurgence

[03:20] Hosts swoon over Jalen Brunson’s performance, branding him "best Nick ever," especially at under six feet tall.
- Quote: "Jalen Brunson is the best Nick ever." ([03:26] - B)
- "He's basically Shay. Only Shea is 6'5", and JB is doing all the same things that Shea is doing, only he's shorter than you and smaller than you." ([03:47] - B)
Recognition of depth contributions: Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Landry Shamet, Deuce McBride, and Jordan Clarkson add to the Knicks’ formidable run ([07:38]).
[22:46] Urgency for the Knicks:
- Quote: "If you're gonna win Knicks, this is the year." ([22:46] - A)
[22:54-23:04] Host claims he is "almost damn near" picking the Knicks to win it all but hedges based on injuries:
- Quote: "I just need to know what Dylan Harper hamstring up to every hour on the hour." ([23:04] - A)

3. Injuries and the Playoff Bracket Shake-Up

[05:27] Discussion about players having to step up in crucial moments versus being "nice to have" role players.
[14:09] Spurs: Uncertainty hangs over the team due to injuries, especially with Dylan Harper and De'Aaron Fox’s health in question.

4. Kenny Atkinson vs. Mike Brown: Coaching Futures

[08:24] Hosts lampoon polar-opposite coaching fortunes:
- "I'm sus on Mike Brown, and I think we all agree Kenny Atkinson's the man. And I was like, Kenny Atkins is fired. Mike Brown, one of the greats." ([08:24] - B)
[09:33] Josh Hart's quip about analytics gets spotlighted as a memorable, damning rebuke of Atkinson’s alleged over-reliance on numbers:
- Quote: "Analytics are like lamp posts to a blind person. You can lean on them, but it ain't gonna get you home, man." ([09:33] - B, originally Josh Hart)
[10:51] Suggestion that Atkinson should return to being an assistant coach after an “everything went wrong” postseason.

5. San Antonio Spurs & Greg Popovich: Master Splinter Mentor

[12:01] Popovich is affectionately compared to "Master Splinter," guiding young players through adversity.
- Quote: "I think that's one of the reasons they ahead of schedule, because they still got Master Splinter... he got the Ninja Turtles to believe in themselves when they just thought they was turtles." ([12:01] - A)
[13:53] Entertaining discussion casting current NBA players as Ninja Turtles and allies.

[15:18] Comedic riff on players wanting to be "the man" on a team, even to their long-term competitive detriment:
- "You're about to have a ring at 23 years old. You'll never win a ring in Washington. People wanting to be the man makes no goddamn sense." ([15:18] - B)
Playful banter over who has truly been "the man" and actually won titles—Dirk Nowitzki's name surfaces as a rare example.

7. Culture, Pop References & Lighter Moments

[00:00, 17:58] Musical break: Hosts sing Mariah Carey's "Hero" in mock tribute to Kylie Jenner as "hero of the day" for smuggling vodka to courtside.

A
Kylie Jenner, my sister. You, ma', am, get the hero of the day award from me.
[00:08]
B
Until a hero comes along.
[00:10]
A
Louder.
[00:11]
B
With the strength to carry on Louder. When you wash your tears aside loudest and your.
[00:28]
A
Welcome back to the alley O. We are in the yayo you already know. I'm joined by my sister. How does it feel if I don't
[00:36]
B
go back to slanging yay O? Slanging yay O to get my mayo.
[00:44]
A
Okay, let's go there. So when were you slanging yayo, sis?
[00:47]
B
Never. But I always think, well, once I did hold some yay oh, at Burger King, but those were little packets of mayo.
[00:57]
A
Oh, there we go. See? No O.J. i was like, we finna incriminate my sister right? Damn.
[01:03]
B
Now back into mayo. Whenever I hear, like Miami, like Yale, I always think about that song.
[01:12]
A
Right now we got Dylan on the monitors, my boy. We look, we don't know how to act. We got professionalism around here. We don't know how to act right now. There's things.
[01:22]
B
It's just like when you go into another dimension and everything is correct except for, like, one thing. Slightly altered. Like, the program is just Dylan. Like, all we see now is just Dylan on our monitor.
[01:35]
A
Keep it there. I love it. Let's watch my boy the whole time, man. But look, you know who should have had Dylan? The Cleveland Cavaliers. Because, boy, oh, boy, could they use a glue guy or five. How did you feel about my boys not only laying the egg, but it appears as the boys might have quit on them.
[01:56]
B
I think that's right.
[01:58]
A
Yeah.
[01:58]
B
To be honest, I think they quit after the first game. We call that a lay down and stay down. You're up 22 with seven minutes left to go. You let that game one go. That changed everything. I think it. It sapped.
[02:12]
A
Yeah.
[02:13]
B
Their soul, their will to win. I know that James Harden does have a will to win.
[02:18]
A
And in the strip club for sure
[02:21]
B
he'd be in Houston probably today. He's already there, fam. He was probably there last night eating a little bit of foie gras, wrapped bac slash lobster. The club giving out M's. Probably hanging with a little baby, having a little birthday party celebration. Gemini season juju.
[02:41]
A
Yep. And you know, I think my boy might have been in New York last night celebrating. He was in the Empire State. But we ain't gonna kick it off with the hate. We gotta kick it off with. Why not in New York, man. Excuse me. Pardon me, Stew York, because she already did the championship. The people forgetting, they like oh, New York ain't won the championship since 1970. Since 2025. 24. You dig? How do you feel about this New York Knicks team? I already. I'm already going to give them best Nick ever, Jaylen Branson. All the Y. Y, Y. But can they get the job done, though?
[03:21]
B
Well, B, I'm the only one to get the job done.
[03:24]
A
I'm probably for you.
[03:26]
B
Yeah. That's. That's the reason I didn't do the second part anyway. I think you're right. I think Jalen Brunson is the best Nick ever.
[03:33]
A
Yeah.
[03:34]
B
I think. Especially when you're talking about, let's be real, he's up six feet. He's not above six feet. He's like 5 11. When you're 5 11, you can get anything you want. He's basically Shay. Only Shea is 6 5.
[03:47]
A
Yeah.
[03:47]
B
And JB is doing all the same things that Shea is doing, only he's shorter than you and smaller than you. It's not to say you're short, but you know what I mean.
[03:57]
A
Right.
[03:58]
B
So, yes. I think, though, when you look at the spurs and the Thunder as rosters, they both have significant issues with injuries.
[04:07]
A
Yeah.
[04:07]
B
So even with Wemby, even with, you know, SGA in these Thunder. No. Jalen Williams, probably for the rest of the series, maybe for the finals. AJ Mitchell's got a grade two calf strain. You can't do nothing with that. So now you're talking about Lou Dort. You're talking about needing all the games from Alex Crusoe. You're talking about, like, who else? I mean, you need Isaiah Joe. You need guys that you're never needing to rely on. You need Jarrett. You need Jared McCain. In all these other instances, we didn't need those guys. They're just nice to haves. And it's one thing to have a nice game when you're a nice to have. It's another thing to perform when that is what is expected and needed of you in order to win the game.
[04:50]
A
Yeah. And I think those two injuries for OKC are the most backbreaking. Jalen Williams going down was awesome as long as you had AJ and now AJ down, too. Holy Caruso. We need you. Who Isaiah Joe? Who?
[05:07]
B
Wiggins? Is that Wiggins?
[05:10]
A
Is that. Please.
[05:12]
B
Jer McCain.
[05:12]
A
Sam Preston, help.
[05:14]
B
Now they're burning Jerry McCain up because he's got the. They're calling it what they call it maint. What is it? Maintenance Salon. They're calling it his. The Painted Nails, but they're the. The Manicure but the manicure. But they're calling it something else.
[05:27]
A
I don't know what you're talking about.
[05:29]
B
Paint on the nail. There's a male name for. Oh, the male, like male salon or something like that.
[05:35]
A
That's not what it's called. I promise it's not called that.
[05:37]
B
Okay. Anyway, now you got him getting burned up. Because it's one thing when you're putting 25 on the spurs head and you got the red, white and blue freaking nail paint on your nails. It's another thing when you're over seven and a quarter and you're losing to the spurs and you already got to sit your stars in the third quarter and they're basically letting go of the rope. In the lord's year of 2026, I saw a team come back from down 22 with seven minutes left to go. So the fact that the Thunder were like, all right, let's just pack it up. I'mma see you later. Means they know that they had no chance that game.
[06:12]
A
Yeah. Jerry McCain is this. Jalen Brunson is this. I just saw that as you were talking, but you right on. You right on the money. I think ever since they gave SGA that MVP trophy, it's been time for him to be one. Now, like, you can't just do what you've been doing. Don't play no fourth quarters. Yeah. You get the Suns, you get to relax. Nah, bro. It's time now. I think this time right here is more important than all the other time we've seen SGA. Yes. Getting that ring last year was awesome. Game 7 against the team who if they would have had they stopped player. I don't know how that went. You feel me? I think this is the most important time in SGA's career right now. Either you finish, cement yourself in stone. You can't touch me. Or MC Hammer is not on the table. We can touch a bit, bro. You did. Because I don't. I don't see you giving this effort that you gave game four and it working out for you against the spurs, nor the Knicks. Because might I add to you, I do think the Knicks got a chance to take this thing home. Especially when you add all these injuries on the other side.
[07:26]
B
A thousand percent for sure. A thousand percent. I mean, you look at all of the pieces that the Knicks have, you know, not just OG Anunoby who looks like he's back, right? He looks like everything all good.
[07:39]
A
Yeah.
[07:39]
B
You've got, you know, Mikhail Bridges that you paid a Bajillion dollars for a bajillion picks for you've got, obviously Jalen Brunson, you got cat. But when you're getting Ray Allen production from Landry Shamit, boy, when you're getting like, Deuce McBride giving you buckets, when you've got Jordan Clarkson, oh, my goodness,
[08:05]
A
best hair in the game.
[08:06]
B
Jose Grand Theft Alvarado. Like, everybody is coming to play. I think Mike Brown. This is Mike Brown's best, most legacy cementing. When you talk about two coaches that could not have gone the opposite direction when this series started, it was like, I'm sus on Mike Brown, and I think we all agree Kenny Atkinson's the man.
[08:25]
A
Yeah.
[08:25]
B
And I was like, kenny Atkins is fired. Mike Brown, one of the greats.
[08:30]
A
Exactly. By the time you're hearing this, if Kenny Atkinson ain't fired, he been fired. Low key. They just trying to find a way to put words on it. Breaking news. Because ain't no way in hell, bro. You talking about analytically. I mean, what we won two out of three.
[08:50]
B
I don't know if you follow analytics,
[08:53]
A
but analytic would have got you out, boy. Who, Sir, If I'm the owner. What you say? Say it again. Just like you say.
[09:00]
B
I don't know if you heard that.
[09:01]
A
Gather.
[09:01]
B
Oh, yeah, get. Tell me. Gather again. I literally, guys, text. Text juju. Anytime someone says gather a lot on the broadcast and you can tell it irritates him. No, he was like, I'm not sure if you've heard of these analytics. Not sure if you follow those. I don't. I see you making a crazy face. I see. Yeah, no, yeah. It's crazy because you didn't say, like, we should be up. You said we are up analytically in expected points. We're up to one. We are up, bruh.
[09:33]
A
And then on top of that, for your coach to get dunked on quotely. Is that the Metaphorically. Verbally, by a player. He preaching all that analytics from analytics. That boy Josh Hart say, look, man, analytics are like lamp posts to a blind person. You can lean on them, but it ain't gonna get you home, man. I think the opposite. He lent on that lamp. Damn Analytic. And it got himself sun right the f home. You feel me, cuz? Boy, what you doing? I think compound that with no timeouts from. It was 22 to 18, 18 to 16, 16 to 12, 12 to 8.
[10:13]
B
Time out. Time out now. Right now.
[10:16]
A
Nope, he didn't call him. He lost the timeout. She was gonna lose anyway, bro. All this added together, bro, I'mma Marlon Wayne style. Peace out, brother. You're out of here.
[10:27]
B
Compound that with Game 2, where the Cleveland Cavaliers were coming back. Yeah, it was like, I think it might have been just four to six points. We're gonna need time. Let's stop them.
[10:39]
A
Exactly. And it worked like a charm. So. Yeah, bro. Kenny Atkinson, look, I think he was assistant coach with Steve Kerr for a little while. Go pull back on. Pull back up.
[10:51]
B
Actually pull back.
[10:52]
A
Pull up on Mike Brown. See if you can get a little spot, man, because this ain't it, man.
[10:56]
B
Could you imagine after this series, like, hey, fam, I'm not sure what you're doing after this whole finals thing. Let me talk to you about a job, fam. Let me talk to you about coming on staff, bro.
[11:06]
A
It was the whole. I'm talking about top to bottom of everything. Cleveland had on the substitutions he didn't make on game one. The substitutions he did make too early in game two, bro. Why am I seeing Keon Ellis this early, bro? I know how to use Kean Ellis. Why don't you? You feel me? So, yeah, get my boy out of here, Mo. Back to the west, though, after that Game 3 loss against the Thunder. Greg Popovich in the locker room, you feel me?
[11:36]
B
He said, I don't know what y' all are on.
[11:39]
A
Look, look, before you finish that. I know, I know what he didn't say about no damn analytics.
[11:44]
B
No, he did not. He did not say analytically, we're actually up to one instead of down 21. He said, Listen, if you don't leave, back to Oklahoma City with it being two. Two. Yeah, you guys are cooked.
[12:01]
A
Capital. Hooked on it. Because, boy, he's right. Having Pop as a mentor has been such a blessing for this young team. I think that's one of the reasons they ahead of schedule, because they still got Master Splinter. He might not be as spry as he once did, but who is Master Splinter? Oh, the question I've been waiting for my whole life. Look, we only got a couple minutes here, so I'm tell you this off camera. Long story short, he got the Ninja Turtles together. He made them do a extraordinary things. He got the Ninja Turtles to believe in themselves when they just thought they was turtles, you know? What am I, a turtle? He had them, boy, doing karate, man. Real deal. Karate, jujitsu.
[12:43]
B
No, see, that's not what I was asking. Who in this case is Master Splitters? Is that Popovich?
[12:49]
A
Yeah, he's Master Splinter.
[12:50]
B
Oh, okay.
[12:51]
A
I went. I went too far, huh?
[12:52]
B
You went too deep. I Know the Splinter reference. I thought he was actually Master Splinter was the villain.
[12:57]
A
No, Master Special. Super Shredder. That's Shredder.
[13:00]
B
Oh, that's Shredder.
[13:01]
A
Yeah. I just always want to be Shredder because he was cool. He had a spice here and here and boy. But yeah, bruh, have him pop in that locker room still, bruh, that's so fire.
[13:12]
B
Who's the. Who's the red turtle?
[13:14]
A
Oh, the red turtle. That's. What's that? Michelangelo? No, no, no, that's. That's Donnie, Michelangelo, Donatello and Rudolph. No, Raphael.
[13:25]
B
Raphael.
[13:26]
A
Salute to Danny for the alley. No pun intended, but yeah, bro. Raphael. Oh, Raphael. That's easy. That's Dylan. Dylan Harper.
[13:34]
B
Dylan Harper.
[13:34]
A
Come on.
[13:35]
B
Who's Wemby?
[13:36]
A
Wimby is Michelangelo. He's like that guy with the hockey stick that came in out of nowhere. Casey Jones, like, whoa. I ain't never seen this before. You can fight with the hockey mask on. I can't even see with the hockey mask on. You fighting, kicking ass, seeing peripherals. That's Wim.
[13:53]
B
Yeah, that's a good one.
[13:54]
A
But yeah, but I think the spurs, at this point, the spurs season relies on the health of Dylan Harper, the health of the rest of the crew. Because at this current juncture at this recording time.
[14:09]
B
And dear. And Fox, that high angle sprays no joke.
[14:14]
A
And that's where I say he's important. He's super duper important. But I think he's important to have every other game. I would think, oh my God. Strike that. Bleep that out. I didn't say that because Steph Castle had a what, 20 part time lover?
[14:36]
B
You can't have him every day. Listen, his flaws start coming out.
[14:41]
A
Look man, Castle had 20 turnovers in two games. So yeah, we need my boy Fox. But I think now Harper situation is a little bit.
[14:48]
B
They're already talking about, hey, we're gonna need to move on from Deer and Fox because we can't hold Dylan Harper as a six. Man, you know that Dylan Harper, really quick side road. Ron Harper told me that Dylan Harper wanted to be a Washington wizard. He would have rather been a Washington wizard by himself. Okay, Being the. He said that being the man than wanting to go to San Antonio. Are you out of your God damn mind? You're about to have a ring at 23 years old. You'll never win a ring in Washington. People wanting to be the man makes no goddamn sense.
[15:19]
A
Oh, come on.
[15:20]
B
I want to be the man. I gotta do it all by myself. I'm so good, bro.
[15:24]
A
Ain't nothing wrong with being the man. Sometimes you want to be the man.
[15:28]
B
Who's one that's been the man?
[15:30]
A
Who's one that's been the man?
[15:31]
B
Yeah, who's the one that's been the man?
[15:33]
A
SCA was the man last year. Five. We know that. That's how they say it.
[15:37]
B
But then there's, like, all the other men. Like, you got Jalen Williams, you got Chet Holmgren. Chat's the man who won.
[15:42]
A
There was a man. Jalen Brown
[15:46]
B
was the man as well. He just became the man.
[15:50]
A
Jalen Brown's Batman. Jason Tatum was Batman. So I don't know how that's what that word. They were both demand.
[15:56]
B
That's what I'm saying. But if you want to be the man. No other men around.
[16:02]
A
Yeah.
[16:03]
B
No other man can. Ain't no other man.
[16:06]
A
Don't nobody know that song? Hell, no. I wasn't going there. I'm. I'm hanging on to every word you say. I'm like, what?
[16:13]
B
Okay. Ain't no other man. Ain't just you.
[16:16]
A
What's the first word?
[16:17]
B
Ain't no other man.
[16:18]
A
Ain't no. I thought you said ain't no other man. What are you?
[16:22]
B
Ain't no other man but you. Who has won Jordan at Pippen? SGA has Jalen Williams, Chad Holgren, Alex Crusoe. Who has been the man alone and
[16:37]
A
won Dirt, Navinsky, Jason Kidd. He wasn't a man. Jason. Kid with no damn.
[16:46]
B
Listen, they should not have won that. They should not have won that ring, though. You need other men. You can't go to an abyss and be like, yeah, I'm trying to have my own team. You're 22 years old. What are you talking about?
[16:57]
A
You right. But at the same time, though, if I get drafted and I'm having success, don't call my mama to ask what I was about to do. Oh, my daddy, for real, my dad. Oh, you know what? He wanted to go. He wanted to go to New Orleans with his granddad over there. But no.
[17:16]
B
Why is he snitching on his son? To be honest, if I saw my mom snitch on me, you know what she was actually about to do, right? She didn't even want this thing. Mom. We gotta talk, fam, bruh.
[17:31]

Speaking of talking, man. Speaking of partnerships and talking, man, I. I'm a Celtics fan. Now. Let me. Let me just make sure people know that people always remember that I own all the jerseys until I wear one. And then people be like, what the you like the grizzlies. But Kylie Jenner, my sister, you, ma', am, get the hero of the day award from me.

And you know you can survive. My sister Kylie, she was courtside with my boy Tim to the mophie and my. My girl to the mophie. Yeah. I mean, I'm workshoping out.

But my girl about the. You know, I mean, my bout. She bought the lick, man. You know, you be courtside sometimes, and you want access to certain things, and you be like, ah, damn, I don't feel like walking to the concession stand. It looked like my sister had the liquor in her purse. Dylan, if you will look at my sister, you know, I mean, she got a little vodka for my boy. Look at. He don't know what's about to hit him.

Chase that one down.
[19:16]
A
Right? You know, during that seat, that series, though, when I saw. I mean, of course, Game 1 was terrible for the Cavs, but in Game 2, this is when I thought they gave up. It was a play whenever I think it was about the third, fourth quarter. Had to be the fourth quarter. Jalen brushing, just dribbling around. All of a sudden, he found himself wide open for a practice layup, bruh. I would have unplugged the season then if I had control. Like, we're not gonna do this 21 skunk, man. Dylan, do you got that video when the Cavs gave up. Look at this right here. Now look to the bruh. I could have scored that one. Tristan. I think you might could have put this one in. Look at him coming down. Yeah, I mean, this is a. This is an NBA playoff game.

Oh, my God.

And most people be like, you know what? Some people need rough coaching. Some need hard, soft coaching.
[21:22]

[21:50]
B
He looked at car like, just listen.
[21:52]
A
Listen to coach, bro. He got you, bro. And it was very emotional for my boy. He went to the sideline. He made another mistake, and guess what? Tears in his eyes and everything. Guess who came to the rescue. Casey Jones. Arm around my boy. Nah, bro, we need you. We. We got you. We need you now. Now we gonna need you, bro. Papa got him in the locker room as well. Gave him encouragement, encouraging words, how fast he is. I think that this is a team. The same way we praise the Thunder for being a team cohesive. This spurs team is. This is the first version of them. Like, this is them for the first time already. This cohesive, bruh. Come on, man. You can't help but love it, man.
