A Bleep Failure

M ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs. Welcome to another episode of ninety four Fee podcast. It is your boy be Zeke in the building. I'm hearing my uh my brother Keissy looks good, good people. It's good to be in the building a day. It's a good day. It's a good day and it's a bad day at the same time. Before you come on, Matt, Nope, nope, introduce my brother man. I don't leave it. I'm don't even have don't even hang. Also

want to give it to uh reverend uh dre in the building. Now, y'all know I could preach, so I don't even do that. It looks like you're about to give a sermon. I could preach. No what wait

until that time, because what's good? Everybody Glad to be back with my brothers and arguably the most unprecedented didn't know what was gonna happen playoffs I've seen in probably five years, you know what, Yes, I'm probably saying twenty you know, I ain't seenhing like this is ever probably literally sit no sense and our in our age, our error since uh Gold State Warriors beat um Utah with Baron Davis. Yeah, Yeah, that's God's good. That's the

last time I seen something like this was like and you never know. Yeah, I'm happy to talk basketball with my brothers. How y'all doing man good? All right? Five five h. I usually don't do this, but this this episode, I'm gonna do it. Uh. The title of this episode is a failure. There's gonna be a lot of that going around. I'm not gonna hold back neither. My co host may be a little bit of voth vulgar. Yeah, so your de is advice. Uh. You know, we used to promote this as a family show, and it is

a family show. But the fusing opinions of those are those of those spoken. Thank you. We're gonna start with the injury report though injury update, injury update, Joel and b It has an LCL spray. He is guaranteed to miss Game one of the semifinals against the Boston Celtics. This kind of injury, however, does take up to six weeks to recover. So I don't know if we're do want a prediction machine, but I'm gonna say this, if he doesn't come back to series is over before he can starts.

Uh. Julius Randall did he play today? He did not play, and it showed in that score. H he has a spraying ankle and he is out for Game one. And I also watched coming in that Jimmy rode his ankle too. So I'm gonna add him to this injury report because he's likely questionable for Game two. Because they were saying it. It is a high ankle spring, they believe, and we know those don't get better in two days. It's very true. Um So, without even uh wasting time,

let's go ahead and get into it. And you know it's serious because he can't see he did it, took the glasses off. WHOA, that's a meme right there. Then number eight seed in Miami he wait, wait, wait, hold up this, I gotta add this. Since you do the glasses on, I just I just kind of compliment it with this. Um uh, just just just this track route real quick. We see the number of eight seated. Uh, Miami Heat defeated the number one seed, the

Milwaukee Bucks for one in the first round of the playoffs. Before we get started, at a moment of silence for the season for the Milwaukee Bucks, I'll write, my sympathy is off I am pissed, I am hot, I am muck being fired up today. Just so you know, Okay, let's go no, no, no, let's follow your follow your script, go ahead. No. I just well I had a clip. Thoma refused

to play it, which is fine. Is the clip was pretty much the last of UM was the clip of Yannish post game and the reporter acts, Yannis, is this a failure of a season as a season of failure? Would you consider the season of failure? Um? First of all, I just want to applaud Jannis because he was like, Hey, he's like, man, you asked me this last year. But you know what, I'm not gonna make it personal. I don't think this is a failure. This

is another stectical success. Michael Jordan's stats and he said, Michael Jordan has been the league fifteen years, he only won six championship. Would you say nine of those years have been a failure? Um, I would say the difference between this year and last year. I think last year we knew we didn't expect to get as far as we did. No, I think this year, no, last year, I'm sorry, last year we saw it

live. We really we literally watched it live. Let's go down to a drain with the l This year, we had a couple of days to you know, reflect and sit on things. Um, I'm gonna let Kesey because he already filed up. I'm gonna let him go first. Keise was this is this a failure of the season. We need to time this whole segment

because we got a whole lot more to talk about we do. I'm not gonna we don't go crazy because, like I said before, I think last year, Like I said, last year, we uh like last year it was like we were we watched it happened live. But this year we had a couple of days to reflect, So I'm not that like pissed off as I was before. But go ahead, Keise, Would you like to use the deep sensor button? Which one? Is it? What the was Bud? Has Bud lost his mind? Where does Budding job? He needs to

be muck wrong one? Oh my god, that is the worst, by far, the worst the coaching I've seen in the stretch of an elimination game and probably the history of the NBA. Before you finished, you said, we saw it last year live. We literally saw it live. Oh yeah, you two are the game literally saw it, Yeah, we watched it live. My feelings is hurting, my pockets is hurting, and I need Bud to write me of a check because his down the stretch coaching was by

far the worst you've ever seen. It's the worst I've ever seen. It's another word that y'all want to use for but I can't even think of it right now. Tobacco, debacco, foolery, collapse, mental break. So whatever he was having, it showed in that in the last three games of the series, Like there was no real strategic plans in that games. It was just he was just throwing somebody out there, and he didn't even throw out the people he should have been thrown out there. And now look where

we are on the brinks of our superstar. Might not want to be here, I mean, who knows. Everybody might not want to be here no more. Look, Drew might not want to be here no more. Chris might not want to be due the way we lost to a number eight seed should have never happened. Number eight play in seed should have never beat us for one. I can see seven games and we lose it, But to lose for one, all right, Okay, sorry is undescribably. I don't

even I don't even know what they say. Real quick, my feelings is hurt, man, That's all I want to say, real quick, real quick. I'm gonna say this the number we lost? You just said number AC playing tournament team. You know they had to lose a game to get to this AC Exactly, they had to lose a game to get to the AC. They lost, And I'm just gonna say they lost to a Etlanta. So all of all of my music fans who's ever seen the movie will

know what this reference is. I'm Jimmy Butler and these are the Miami Heat. I'm David Ruffin and these are the Temptations. Jimmy Butler had a David Roughing moment on the Milwaukee Bucks. The Game five at the Fiser Forum on last Wednesday was the most single handedly disappointing display that I've ever seen from a team that was predicted to win a title. The Milwaukee Bucks were widely predicted to win a title by commentators beyond us, right, We're just local podcasters

having some fun, hoping to grow one day. But you add the Stephen A. Smith's the Charles Barkley's the Shaquille O'Neills several picking the Milwaukee Bucks. Jimmy Butler single handedly destroyed us, but Drew didn't. I'm gonna get to it. Drew didn't show up. Janni showed up. But let's not give him a pass. He missed so many free throws in that game. I give him. I give him a pass on hell, look, absolutely not. We're going in phases here because I don't want to get too far off.

We always have a career day on this. But to co sign with Kiss the coaching job, regardless of what happened our condolen sist to coach Bud concerning the death of his brother, But you still coached that game. And even before of the game four, his coaching was still questionable. It was it was still questionable. And the fact that coach Bud didn't take one time out in overtime, He didn't take one time out the last three minutes of

the fourth quarter. The Milwaukee Bucks were up near sixteen points in the fourth going into the fourth I'm talking to last three minutes they had a lead. People started leaving like the game was over, and I'm like, don't y'all know Jimmy Butler is still playing. You have a shot, Jimmy Butler. Mind you, the Miami Heat had three starters that filed out. It should have been in the bag at that point, Jimmy Butler. Kesey's favorite line

is Drey who, Jimmy who. The whole Miami Heat team after Love fouled out, Alabio fouled out, Laurie fouled out. Was a bunch of Miami who right, Their best shooter broke his hand and played. You let Jimmy Butler score fifty six in a previous game. You got him to come on our home court and talk trash to you, and he's single handedly destroyed the Bucks. But let's give credit where credit is due. Coach Eric Spostra shows how you coached to win. He coached to win. He let Janie do

what he does right. But he ded up True Holiday, he ded up Chris Middleton. He had Bam Outabail looking like a superstar on brook Lopass. The Bucks were out coached, the Bucks were outplayed, and the Bucks have to do something because that is unacceptable. In five years, you are projected to win three of the five championships, and you win one. The Milwaukee Bucks are giving me Green Bay Packer vibes. We play for the NFC North. We played for the regular season, we get enough playoffs, we lose

in the first round. It is unacceptable in Bud's gotta go period, He's gotta go. Well, I um, there got to be some changes, some other changes to not just roster's the whole overhaul. Not to overhaul the roster. I don't know about the whole rosters. We were the oldest team in the league. We were older than the Lakers and they were old. Where did you tell me get where you've been in and they were old? I did tell you that they were old. We are the oldest team in

the NBA. We brought Jay Crowder here for what I see. Here's the thing. I have a couple of issues with more about what you said because you went on a ramp like stephen A. Anything I said wrong, I mean say anything you can say it was wrong a couple. Here's the thing. Here, here's my thing. Uh, Like a lot of times, we want to put this on the coach, and I hate to put all the blame on the coach. Um. You gave everybody to smoke. I

don't want to give everybody to smoke. Um why not? I feel like I feel like Yannis because Jannis was hurt Game four, he got he got hurt in game one. He got hurt in game one. He didn't play game too, and he played game and he played exactly. That's my point that game we were supposed we were supposed to. Don't say, let me know because your facts aren't correct. Because even when he came back, he had a near triple double. Both he was hurt. You can tell he

was earth. He was hurt, but he had almost a triple double. He was hurt though he was hurt. If he wasn't hurt, yan Is probably would have had from career nights. Yes, that's my thing. He was He really wasn't even bending like he was supposed to about. He wouldn't even want to sit down. He was getting massides on the sideline. Game three, he wasn't supposed to play, but he was like, I gotta

play Game three. He was not supposed to play, but he's like, I gotta play or we've gonna get blue out, and he for him to put up a triple double. Lopez put up twenty five and I think he had twenty five and thirteen or something like that. But it was it was the numbers that they added up they at the end of the series. It was execusing at the fourth quarter. And that's what killed us because because the way Jimmy was like, all right, I got it, let's go.

He just he just he just giving us work time at the time. At the time, at the time, he looking at Drew like, can't hold me? Talking crazy, and I'm like, hey, I'm gonna tell you what he said, hold on because we was there alive and we was right there. This is what he said to Drew. They the bucks got like an an one or something, and Jimmy was pissed. I mean he was pissed. You can see it in his face. Uncle Jimmy was pissed. He ran next to Drew and he was like, you know what, I'm

in the nishe to night. He said, I'm in the niche to night. I just then he said it to Drew and then right after that he went on a spree and you can't hold me, Yeah I can, And I'm just sitting here like I can't. I'm just like I didn't watch the

game. I went't at the game. You know, I'm Milwaukee dude, black out whatever whatever, and was on nav TV, And so my thing is, I'm just sitting there like watching on ESPN APP and just kind of checking back and forth, and I couldn't I could I the fact that y'all was there, I don't know that I would have in tears because I've been sitting there like I can't believe it. But I can't believe our season is in it right now in my face in Milwaukee, and Jimmy like, y'all

can't hold me, y'all can't do nothing with me. So I'm gonna take over this whole game. I thought we had the game, and then it was like two point five seconds left and they had the ball side court. I'm like, oh, they won't get a good shot off. Gimmy gets a lie pass to score and scores falling. Knew what's it with the overtime? We were dune. I knew he was over. I knew we were dune. He took he took the energy out of the whole arena often, but then again, if you go back and look at the play, it

was an offensified it. He did the Jordan push off you're never gonna get that. Noe Jordan was never gonna get the end. We shouldn't have been put in that position. We were up by like thirteen, but two minutes to go we should more importantly, we should have been down three one. Besides that, all you have to do is make free those, make free those, and then would be the end of the game. But you don't

sit here. I'm just I'm I'm you're bringing all these emotions back because I'm so this right now about this and team and then my thing is this, My thing is this. We were deep and we were talking. We talked about this, like the last couple of weeks of the see y'all talked about it. Well, me and Keith talk. I said it, and y'all call me a non true fan. No, we said said the Bucks are not deep. They're old. Yeah, you said they old, but you

can't say we are deep. They were not managed right. Jake Jake Crowder average eleven minutes a game the first three games because he stuck it up every time he played. How can you get in the rhythm if you're playing eleven minutes and used to playing thirty two thirty two minutes Jimmy hasn't Jimmy. Jay hasn't played off in regardless, And if you want to call it that, then you should have been called it. Out Drew Holiday too, because he

was lighting his What's up? Two oh so drew out there sticking it up and he can stay on the floor. But you don't want to take a chance on Jay Crowder. Maybe he might alter a few of them shots that Jimmy putting up, maybe he might buy him a little bit more so he not back and drew down to the paint to get those easy buckets. I don't want to hear about what Jay Calder can't do, because he has shown

he can play when he's given the opportunities. I didn't the Bucks should have not brought him in if they were gonna play him the way they played him. So let me before you do that. Don't get your thought you were asking so again being there live. When Jimmy hit that, I told my name bird that was sitting next to me, Kesey has stepped to the back for man. I said, Jimmy gonna hit that shot. When Jimmy hit that shot at one in overtime, the halt, you could hear a pin

drop in that arena when the when the overtime ended. You ever see an upset kid to just walk away, That's how it was when that overtime game. I just walked away. I just it was so silent. People were trying to fight the heat. Fans people were crying because again the Bucks have created a winning culture in midwalk You know what it is. It's not even a winning culture. It's not even it's not even winning culture here. Let me find winning before hold on second, I think is this I see what

you're saying about winning culture because we're in a regular season. We are that team to be The thing about is winning. To me, it's not a winning culture because we are. When you have a team like this, when this bill like this, you expect even expect there should be no there's an expectation, but there's also like, oh why this is? I can't believe we're here in this place. I guess you can say it. But when you have a team like this, when when from beginning to end there are

very few holes and that's why we were picked to winning this year. Why why shouldn't I have I don't even say high expectations because we were here we here, we have the team, and we're just adding little tiny pieces and tiny tiny pieces, and I go, hey, watch the winning. Culture definitely culture, because since twenty nineteen, the Bucks have been favorite. They were favorite in nineteen, they were favorite in twenty they were favored in twenty

one. We won it, thanks Kevin Durant. Then, so what's happening with the Bucks right now is what's causing people to say twenty twenty one was a fluke. We're gonna take that ship. I'm gonna take that ship. What happened last season? We said, oh, if Middleton played, it wouldn't have been that. Boston comes back and blows us out by forty twice,

Okay, and then we get into the first round. Not only did we lose against a team that displayed two days before them Miami played on Friday night hard, it came in on a Sunday on our home court and beat us. So Game two shows up. We have a record shooting night, which never happens twice. We know that it never happens twice. Even with the Splash Brothers, they'll give you a record night trying to go to State. It did turn around and have a bad shooting night. There was so

much wrong with this series that the GM needs to go. No, he did not assemble a championship roster. He did not assemble a championship roster. Did he did not? He did so. As a Bucks fan, I'm disappointingself championship pedigree. I can't wait to this next series. Oh, I can't wait to the Lakers and we should take it. We'll talk about that. As a as a fan, I'm disappointing and the Bucks. Yeah, I'm disappointed in the Bucks. I'm disappointing in the coaching, going back to

going back to the original questions, disappointing in our starting lineup. And this roster needs a full overhaul. I wouldn't say that, I will. We need some upgrades. I ain't gonna say we need. You all seen we need some upgrades. Did you all see what's on our books and what's not. Did y'all check that half the roster is in the free agency? Oh? Well, here's the thing here, half the roster, not all of them, but most of them. No, No hook bros. Leonard uh

tragic, I'm standing people on the team. No, I'm your name, but didn't even come off the bench. You're naming people. Hold on a second, you're naming people who were gonna you're gone any either way. They were gonna be gone either way. So here's what I'm saying. How can y'all not how can you say we don't need affall overhaul? We go from the deepest team in the league to being eliminated in the first one because just

hears my thing. When you go into that stage of complete overhaul, when you go into that stage of everybody has to go, you're not to me. I just said everyone has to go. Everything's on the table. But yes, that's that's my point. When you when you put it out there like that, that means to me, those teams don't repeat where we where where we can go. The reason you bring people back, The reason you bring people back is because, Okay, we just need to tweak some stuff.

Okay, So and I already know where you're gonna go. Lopez is the free agent. Uh, Leonard, let me just go through it real quick. Let me just do it. Is that? Okay, gonna do it. Chris Middleton has a player option, and if he's smart, he better pick it up. I want him to opt out. Sorry, Chris Middleton, we thank you for your services, but the Chris Middleton experience needs to end me and said that last year, Javon Carter has a he's a He's an unrestricted free agent, right, so he didn't do much for us

either. The Bucks have the following free agents Brook low Pass, Jay Crowder, Joe Ingles, Gordon Dragic Myers, Leonard Wesley, Matthews, Jeff TJ. I didn't even know we were still paying him the Nassis. I took a kumpo aj Green, and we still have an we still have four roster spots available. And I'm gonna say this, everyone on that roster I just name except for Brook low Pass, they all can go. No hold on, I'm I'm gonna tell you this that I things shouldn't go. It's Matthews.

Because Matthews came in and did a great job. He slowed he slowed Jimmy down so much and then he just got took out and then we didn't ever see him again. I didn't understand that, Like I was so minded. He hit some big shots and he was he was up in Jimmy, Like, why don't Rice, I'll say that, this is what I'll say that number one. You right. Uh. The thing about I know, like the thing about Bud is this, and it kind of irritates me.

I think it irritates everybody else. If you play good defense, bubb will will play you. But if you can't contribute on both ends, which Matthew sometimes can't, he won't play you as much as he should. Bud can't do a Yo, Simon's just defense. He don't he don't wrote. He don't move like that. I've seen that over the last couple of years. He don't move like that. Here's my question, y'all, here's my question. He number one was it's a failure of a season. Absolutely absolutely failure,

failure. Okay, I mean Ya's words were cool. It as fired a generation, but let's call it what it is. It has been a bigger man was is this bigger failure that reporter gonna be like Donald Trump gonna start let Donald Trump kicks up reported out of the wild house? I bet you that reporter right, he went, Hey, you gotta sit. You asked me this last year. Yeah, Um, is this a bigger Is this a bigger failure than the bubble? Yea. To me, it is

because the Bubble Milwaukee. But I think it is though. I think if Yanni's not hurt, they don't beat us. He was, He's really he was really hurt. Every time he did something, he grimaced. And I think if Yannis was one hundred percent he could have got us at least over the hume. For this one, we just needed one. We just needed one person to get us over that hump, and Jannis was that person.

He wasn't his help side defense wasn't as good as he usually is. He was just barely guarding his man and staying on the floor as long as he possibly could. You can see it. It was throwing off our whole defensive strategy. Like he couldn't help out and he couldn't get there because he didn't have the movement to do it. Yeah, he didn't have the he didn't have the lateral movement to do it. So okay, my last question is, um, think about this. Here's my thing. What do y'all think

about this? We give Bud one more year, No, we give crowd or another year. We get rid of get rid of Leonard, I mean Meyer's Leonard, Lenard, whatever his name is. You can get him out of there. Um, we give rid of a drag on, get him out of there, and we get rid of the guys who but those two guys we keep Crowder, give Bud one more chance, and we go from there. Bud is done. I'm actually, what do you think about it? In my book? That's that's a no go, that's no in my

books. He has done to me because when you just to see it in the flesh, it makes me like my blood boil. So you're done with Budd. He played six players. He played six players, So you're done with Budd. I'm done. I'm done with giving them chances. I've been telling him to make adjustments for what three four seasons now, Bud make adjustments. Bud make adjustments. To Yo. The only reason we want to ship is because Joanna's got us over at hump Yanna took the to the next level.

That's the only reason we got the ship. If you want to be honest, yeah, I'm gonna. I'm tired of these coaches that don't want to adjust. To change coach, Bud has to be held to a higher standard. You don't win a title and have two collapses in a row class. You win the collapse though last year was a collapse with forty in a in a winner. Gone was our one of our best, top big. He doesn't matter because you can lose, but lose with a fight. They

didn't even put up a fight last year. They lost. They lost in game what's that said? What's that seven? It was game seven. We took them to seven without Chris forty. We all what we took them to seven without Chris Middleton? Listen man. Mike Budenholzer is the fourth highest paid coach in the NBA, making eight million dollars a year. Okay, for first of all, we know how you feel about the money situation. Well, here's the thing. You can't be the highest paid coach. Who who

is the number one? I believe it's Steve Kerr, but it actually might be Gregg Popavitch. Um, let me just pull it back up. It is, uh Gregg Popavitch, followed by Steve Kerr, Glenn Rivers, Rispo Rivers. Yeah oh yeah, yeah yeah. So the bottom line is the Bucks and I and I and you know me, I'm not a guy that likes to always blame coaches, you know, because I'm like, they're not out there playing but for the Milwaukee Bucks. To reach their full potential,

they need a coach that can help them realize your potential. And budd has had five years to do it. He's failed. Some answer this question there. Number one, you mentioned his brother's death during series. We wouldn't we We wouldn't have knew anything about it if Darwnham didn't say anything, if Darmanham didn't say anything, we want to do nothing about it. And I said as the group I said earlier, I said my condolences to his family.

There there's some lead way there. No, no, because the coaching was bad in game one, two and three. Well, game two was fine, but the coach was bad in game We we a game, dude, we shout so good we The coaching was horrible in the all six games, all five games. Yes. The only reason we won the game too is because the lights shooting. It was lights out shooting night. So the coaching

was bad before the announcement. Here's what I just know. Have an oppo, nozy, if you decide to show up to work under circumstances, No you can't, I can't. I can't let me finish finish, But has an assistant hand coach? No, no, no, no no, no, no no no Steve Kurt did it. No no no no no no no Steve Kurt did it. No no no no no no no. With with his assistance. Sure, now, with our assistance. If Ham was there, cool, If Ham ain't there, no more I know no, no, no, no, no no. I'm gonna say it like this.

I believe it's only a matter of time. People are gonna call the Bucks insensitive people. We I don't think we are. We have sensitive stuff is forts is very rare? Yeah, move on quick, question that for y'all real quick. Let me say this, dear Bucks. Nick Nurse is available. Mark Jackson is available. I just know. Do you know what comes with that? But Nick Nurse No, when he comes to a new coach, new philosophy, and roster has some kinks. I don't think the

Bucks had the Nurse won a championship his first season with the Raptors. Barely but he won it. He won't but barely did we barely did? We barely win in the twenty one Okay, okay, no, no, no, this, why hold on a second, real quick. This is why I don't say that. I hate when people put that narrative out there besides Brooklyn. We we we earned that because Phoenix, Phoenix was about to was

about to beat us because Kevin Durana hurt. Stop it? And why did the Bucks win because we outplay Phoenix because Kevin duranch tonel was what that? So I'm saying, you can't say. You can't say Nick nurse barely and didn't say not injury ear The injury is different than your your foot on the line. Fine, I like Nick nurses. Okay, siding room where we are right now? Y'all? The Bucks. Don't let bug go? Do you make a roster change or you run it back with the same roster accident.

I'm saying, but who would you get rid of? You about players? A coach? Just players. I'm I'm saying, you're the Bucks owner. Okay, you say this, you say this to everybody. Mind you we have new ownership. But I really want to blame. Got some friends. I really want to blame. Got some friends in the organization. I heard too. Yeah, he might not be going nowhere. You don't think, y'all. All I know is this. All I know is this right

now? All I know is this. We started losing when uh that Brown Cleland Cleveland, but a small steak of the small it's half rights the big stay. They have voting rights and a saying how the franchise is managed. And here's the thing, Cleveland Browns have sucked for hor and you take a football guy and you're letting him into our NBA. You're letting him into our sacred circle. Okay, but the Bucks, I'm gonna say this. The Buck's got one more year to get it right now because Yanni will be off

out of here next So hold on, here's my thing. Here's my thing. Going back what you saying, go back, like I said before, if we make some small because I feel like Jay Crowder didn't get a fair shot. I agree, he's an unrestricted free agent. I feel like he didn't get a fair show. Do you think he does. He's out here. He's out of here because here's the thing. He's out of here because you think he's worth more. Well, his reputation won't get him what he

think he's gonna get. That's true too, because there was a tweet that went out, Wow, jay Crowder set out the whole season just to lose in the first round and play eleven minute and he's saying, so he's like, I don't know why I can't. He's like, I don't know why they brought me here if they weren't gonna play me. And I'm like, my guy with that, with that being true, you didn't come here lighten it up. So you didn't come in here lighten it up for zero points

against your former team. You played like twenty plus minutes. And then on top of that, Joe ingles he I would say he got a fair shot, but he too old and he's very inconsistent. And then on top of that, Dragon he too old, Like both of them really came here to win the championship and then probably leave. Jay Crowder, I think he deserves a fair shot with us, because we do. If you the bucks, you bring him back. I'll bring him back. But he makes nineteen million,

Oh, Jay Crowder, heine million? Sign him for that kind of money. Ain't sign up for that, especially if you want to humble yourself. We'll bring you back, especially if the rumors are true. And then on top of that's how he did Bobby. Bobby want to come back for a small amount, We'll hit your hand next year. We played twelve minutes in game five goes back to no. No, but look what Bobby energy. He does. He brings energy. But I knew something was off with

the Bucks when they had by the borders garden the two guards. All right, all right, and that's why it goes back to the above. Let the far ast rotation go. But let's move oncle We can talk about this all day. So he's on the Actually he's on the three year of twenty nine. Me he's making nine million nineteen. Let's say who who Jay Crowder. He's an unrestricted free agent after this year. Unrestricted he is not. He has no obligation to return. So let me ask you this. For

the Bucks roster and coach, not the bench. We're talking starters in the coach, keep one, get rid of one, Zeke, keep one, get rid of one. You can be coach, player or whatever. Oh you gotta keep. You gotta bring back Brooke. Okay, keep see keep one get rid of one out of who the coach and the starting five for the Bucks, keep one, get rid of one. You got you You can only pick one. Either I'm getting rid of or I'm keeping if losing Brook Mints losing Bud bye Brook. No, that's not that serious. It's

not that serious. It's me. We had one of the best starting fives in the league, did we Yeah, Okay, we still do. I'll tell you this. Then Chrish gotta go, Brook stays. I get it, he said, so, But so you if Chris left, you would be okay with Bud staying. Then I said, one gotta go. One. You said the starting five, I said, coach, in starting five, one stays, one goes, one gotta go. Is it a coach or is the middle tip You can only pick one though, I'm I'm a

firm believer like you is. Um coach don't play ball, so coaches on the on the on the bench. So if I'm so, if we kept, if we if Bud had to go, we kept low Pass, I'm cool with that. But to like going to actor Kessey, say, if Middleton gotta go, it depends on what we get back for him. Now, I don't wan't no young dude for him. I want a seasoned veteran who is at all star caliber. He don't have to he don't have to

be an all star all star caliber level. Play who Angelo Russell, No, no, no, I need somebody who So let mena give you a couple of the top one who I just told you you said, he said Middleton gotta go, Caddleton gotta go. Okay, so you would sacrifice you would you rather see Middleton golden bud is what you're saying. Think about it. He ain't played a lot for US all year, and them knees are aged in there, and he got some value right now because you played decent.

So let's get let's get Let's get a younger shooter in there. Somebody, somebody doesn't want to shoot, you know what I mean. We need a shooter in the We need a two guard shooter, two three, a two three shooter. I'm looking for somebody who is I'm looking for somebody who is, like like I said before, all Star calalry player. He don't have to be but an All Star every year because it's poplarity contest, but

All Star caliber player. So then my question to you is, then if Dallas does decide they want to do a sign a trade, do you give them Chris Middleton who for Kyrie we would never come here. Why because the reputation of Milwaukee because he's a and that's it doesn't solve our problem. Because he will get his money and no play for half the season. And I don't like, what did you go out to somebody like Fred VanVleet, my Fred VanVleet, Fred van v League or whatever dam is. I'll take that.

So if I'm the Bucks, yeah, what's your answer? We got we gotta move on. If I'm the Bucks, do you like all the rumors have been saying start negotiating with the Portland Drell Blazers. Those have been rumors for years. We have to give up too much, pull the trigger. But to answer my own question, I will be willing to sacrifice, but over middle two because I think with the right coaching, the Bucks would be fine. What if we bring it back everybody? Everybody? What we

bring back everybody? Are we in this exact same position? I'm talking number one seed. I don't think the roster. So this is what I said to Keise. He and I spoke briefly on yesterday. I said, the Bucks number one seed is the number one seed. But those wins were against scrubs. You look at our losses. You look at our losses. We lost in Boston, we lost to Philly, we lost the Lakers, we lost the Golden State we lost the Memphis not by much or at all.

What I'm saying is when it mattered. We lost the second half of the season is what matters. So our number one seed, although will take it, was based on beating scrubs. So new coach, same roster. You think we're in the same position, new coach, same same starting five. I think we're the same position. The Bucks don't have a bitch. I don't know where this deep roster craft came from. Y'all never heard me saying

the Bucks does not have a good bench at all. All right, we're gonna move on the number two seat, the number two seed in Memphis Grizzlies. We're defeated four two in the first round series versus the number seven seed in Los Angeles Lakers. Before Keisy get the gritty in all over this place, I'm gonna start with Dre. Um. Is this a failure of the season for the Memphis Griz. Lease listen, this is what I'm gonna do for Dre. This is Dre that the Memphis Grizzlies loss. Oh my god,

I am so glad. Why no, no, no, no, why put your feet on the table, bro. You deserve that. What deserve that. Thank you. Keep your feet on the table. They ain't touching the table, but they're on the table. Listen, nice shoes by the way. Listen, man, it's the first. Go ahead, Go ahead, go ahead. I'm gonna let you. I am so glad that the Los Angeles Lakers shut up those loud mouths. I am so glad that Dylan Brooks got embarrassed night in and night out. I am so glad Anthony

Davis shut up all the critics, especially Jared Jackson. Do you see him, duck man? I am so glad D'Angelo Russell is healthy. I'm so glad Lebron James, although being thirty eight, is still giving you solid double doubles. He's working his butt off, but he's getting solid double double. He actually even working hard. What I'm saying, work, he never get. He's never gave him forty. He gave him. He did. He did in Game six they lost by fourty. He gave him, gave him

giving him forty. Yeah, idin't giving him forty. Jellan Brooks, not only did you lose the finals, you gotta find him twenty five. He gotta fire a twenty five k it didn't have the nerd to get on TV like the boy who cried Wolf. The media is turning me into a hated person. No, you are, because you get on TV and say the stupid stuff that you say. I and I feel bad for the Lakers because I am more excited about Memphis losing than I am the Lakers winning because I

hate Stan Memphis. Maran gets the pass, but he tried. Did you see Lebron Instagram post? Oh? I absolutely did. I liked it and we tweeted did if you see me in the if you see me in the jungle fighting the bear, go get help? No? He said, don't help me, help help the bear, right right. So I'm gonna tell you like this shout out to the Lakers and the season for Memphis was a failure because that's all they did all season was trash talk. Now I'm gonna

give them a small caveat a small one. Stephen Adams plays this series is not is not that bad. That's Stephen Adams plays. The Lakers don't win this series. That's a I don't know, we'll never know if it, but I think Steven Adams is a different type of player. I still think the Lakers can probably sneak it out. I'm glad that Memphis loss. Not gonna like moment, so no real quick, quick, boys and girls, cats and dogs, get out. I just want to say this is That's

all I wanted to say. Number One, Memphis did have like the all the big men were hurt, so they had like three injuries, key key injuries, like key injuries. Let's just put that out there. That's number one. Number two, it's the first round. But no, can't get him a pass because the Lakers were also a play in team. That's true too, and that's why I asked, was it a failure from Memphis and Memphis beat the same bucks ross second with the Lakers, Memphis beat us.

I'm gonna start it. This is the same year. I mean, this is this is back to back from Memphis. Um, yeah, I'm gonna let Keisy go in on on or whatever. And my thing about this is this, I don't think it's the trash talk that Memphis why people hate Memphis. I think it's the content of the trash talk. Reason I've said it all year if they've done nothing, so it's not. It's it's the fact that, like y'all I hate the fact that you that you used that as

um as your yeah, because it's one of those things. Were like, because no, no, they're a young team, so what And so they come in like I'm not scared of the big bad wolf, and I always what happened to I'm fined in the West. What happened to that I'm fining in the West? First of all, about nobody in the West. Can we also commend Moran for going up to the post game, was like, hey, you know this is gonna come back on just like, yeah, I know, I said, I stand by it is what it is.

You're keeping the home. So you see the fans, not the fans a little overboard. That's what y'all want it. That's what y'all want it. That's what y'all. Walk the hotel. They walked him and they had to walk to the hotel to the talking crazy singing this what they had to walk to the hotel cross street? Have you ever driven that, bro? My hotel was cross Street. My hotel was ten miles from the Staple Center.

Took us an hour and ten minutes to get there, and California traffic, it's like down the street, up a member of my staff was just in California. Hotel was twenty miles from the airport. Took her ninety minutes to get there. Yeah, craffic, he's just ridiculous. So it's better than walk. But I'm gonna keisy go ahead and uh gritty and as a parade in La Blah blah blah, I'm grinned. Then all up down Roadedale Drive,

don't get rid of the Crenshaw Drive. To get rid of it, all up Beal Street and back to Crenshaw Drive on the Medish Grid's legs. So give the Lakers they flowers, y'all, come on, give them they flowers. Man, accountability one, you were trying to get the class. Okay, one time, give me the class, little blaw for the Lakers. Man. Let let let me ask my My predictions are looking quite right. We get there in the second, dre. I know you're feeling good.

I know you're feeling good over und set right second, we'll get there in the second. Predictions are looking very good. Because I said, so far the two teams, I said, there's gonna be in the finals. It's still a lot still And I said something was wrong with the Bucks I knew it was something. We thought it was gonna get exposed in Boston. I didn't. I didn't we about Eastern Conference finals, and then you know

it is what it is real quick? Why are we here? If they would have made it to the Eastern Conference finals and got lost, for one, I'd have been cool. I'd have been cool first round, second round. Now we gotta examine things. Second round, Eastern Conference Finals, I'm cool even you would have been okay with them to the Knicks. Well, Boston, come on, the second round is the Knicks? You said? Second round? You know, I'm if we'd have lost second round of it,

I'm still upset. But if we had lost the Eence Conference finals, I'm cool with that. I'd been some less upset the further we got to the finals. But to those first round, first round four one against I's been calling them to eight seed. I thought I thought Cleveland was gonna give us some fits in the second round, and Cleveland didn't even make it to the second round. They lost four one, four one the same way we

lost the same way. And Jonovan Mitchell's playoff record is becoming quite Chris Paulish will give that, but go ahead, about the Spider streaky. I thought that the Knicks will beat them and Randall didn't even really play a lot. Is there anything else you want to say about told Lakers before we get to the predunt predict nothing, But I want to talk about the Nicks in Cleveland in a minute, but go ahead. I just want to say the Lakers are who they are, and I said it before. You do not want

to play a team like the Lakers in the playoffs. I said that because I said, I what if you got a healthy who healthy Lebron, If you got a healthy ad the healthy at Lebron, you don't I want to play them well? And Memphis just went through it with a healthy a D but healthy. Also give the Lakers bench credit man Hotcha Mora Uh Austin Austin Rivers playing the Rivers overestimated this value. Uh Dennis Schroder Shrouders playing but he has I'm like he has to play with a chip on his shoulder in order

to get the contract that he wants that year. Would you be saying, boy, what's his name? Boy Austin Rivers Austin us Reeves says, Austin balling the boyd low played pretty good below has not been injured and in Game five sixty three, you know, Game five, the Los Angeles Lakers have shut the mouths of many people. Now I wish to the prediction. Can can can I get my Can I get my apologies? I'm not doing it

again? Can the Lakers get the apologies? Come on, man, apologize because because you have all season, all I heard was the player, this is the Lakers. Yesterday they su Charles Barkley. You need to follow Charles Barkley. Sir Charles, you owe the Lakers and apology. Do you know what? You know what you should be doing? What you're welcome? Welcome for what? Because all this negative talkers inspired y'all to be at the heights

you are now. Don't look at me. You are the words apology too, because what I told you, if the Lakers are healthy, you don't want to play them. You said it. I said that even if you only have seven people on your team, the Lakers. This is more. This is this is more. You know, this is this is First of all, the Memphis Grizzlies are one of the most hated teams in the league, deservingly, so I wouldn't say deservingly so. But I think about this is this, y'all and I hate to beat this guy. I hate to

be this guy. And y'all are okay, y'all beat a good team. Now, y'all should be happy. Be happy with that. We beat a good team. Win, win over a good team. We beat a good team with a great player putting on the show steal because y'all was putting on the show. He had one game. His hand is bro Jos score twenty three straight points. I'm not listening to him anymore. Clearly on the came

to work. Every Hey, we win the next series, I apologize when the next one, which we know they ain't doing when the next one, to put your money when your mouth is can we can we wait? Can you wait? Wait? Can we wait? So? I have people that watch this show, but when the cameras go off, absolutely actually can do it well in the show. This is part of the persona what do you want? What you want to put on? Let's wait this way tw we get there. We're not at the prediction. Yeah, I bet. But

shout out to the Lakers man, I'm very happy for Lebron. Shout out the King James and his real forty when he put up twenty and twenty, giving him twenty and twenty and they lost by forty. Dylan Brooks, he didn't give him forty. Dylan Brooks, I hope that you learned this summer some respect. What he gonna learn this summer is Korean. That's what he learning. You know what he's gonna learn this summer. Ain't nobody could Ain't nobody no more. That's it because now teams don't want you. Ain't nobody

paying you to trash homes. Word on the street. What did dream My Green say? Dude, your team doesn't even like word on the street. Is the Grizzlies just trying to get rid of him? They should they should wave him because he was I'm not saying that this would win. Dylan Brooks was a distraction. He was, he was. I think he was a distraction. Marant was distraction. I feel I still feel like if they full ross, sir, it be different, different series. But if if it

was a fifth we all be drunk. True if Wenna, I ain't even gonna go there with you because but you already know I do know. Let's just so then let's stop with the ifs. Because it's over with. Now we'll see y'all in Golden State. Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers and they gotta go numb but up the street and and catch it Anil the fifth Now we your mouth is too Succa. I got my money on the Lakers in the finals, hands down finals. And then on top of that, let's

say the finals or nothing. Let's say the Lakers do go to the finals. Oh, you don't want to play that king. You don't want to play at what that old man? You don't want to play that king? Take them looking forward to it. But anyways, now we we we now we don't want to smoke them, Tatum. We we dove into this a little bit while we were having this discussion about the Lakers. The fifth City

New York Knicks beat the fourth seeded Cleveland Cavaliers for one um. I don't I like to me this was another failure for Cleveland because I mean, they got Donovan Mitchell and then this was supposed to be their time. I think this. You look at Donovan Mitchell like you were. First of all, he got bounced with the first round and Rudy Gobert got bounced with the first

round again. Maybe you two were the problem. Let's just put it out there, or or the Knicks are who they say they are and Donovan Mitchell isn't say isn't who he is who you think he is. Yeah, he had it. He had a good couple of bubble runs and he had a playoff run after that. But other than that, I'm gonna take a page out of y'all book. You take away don Mitchell from the Cleveland Cavaliers,

and they're a lottery team the same because they're in the same position. They were in the same position last Him joining more seed, him joining Cleveland is no different than him being in Utah. Donovan Mitchell is a baller, but he cannot be the only one that does it. But he also had some playoff timidis. He does not show up in the playoffs. He does not show up in the postseason. Donovan Mitchell's postseason numbers were a troshes. They

were there, they're usually better, they were a troshes. And it also he didn't show up. But also, let's not be disrespectful because the New York Knicks came in balled out. They did without their best player. I would argue to say that Brunson is their best player. Brunson is their best player. I don't like Randall. He the worst teammate ever. I don't care. Randall didn't start getting on board again until he saw that they were

winning because he wont traded. He was trying to get them to bring Zion and he go to New Orleans and during the season he'd be trying to fight teammates and all stuff like that in the league. I don't care. I'm gonna give the Knicks some credit. The Knicks played very well. Tom Thibodeau still coaches his players way too hard, so hopefully they don't crash into the

ground. They're young, though, they're young, but still Derek Rose was young and you see what happened to you know what I'm saying that because the time tip of those coaching. Yeah, but these guys, I feel like, these guys are young and they're hungry. That's why you can do this with them. So I liked the Knicks. Shout out to the Knicks. I didn't have them winning. None of us actually had to win. But

you came and you made quick work up the Cleveland Cavaliers. Um so to work cut out against the Miami. He I think I said the Knicks, though didn't I none, because I said Donovan too streaky. I could have sworn I said Dona. I don't remember, but none of us were high on the Knicks. I'll check. Brusson was a problem. I kept saying that I'll check back, but I don't think of the happy I can't remember. Don't matter. But the fact that the Knicks are here in the second

round for the first time since win like two thousands. They made the second round last year. No, ye twenty twenty one when the Bucks won it, because I thought they um they lost to Atlanta last year. In the year prior to that, they made it to the second round. I'm the Knicks missed the playoffs in twenty twenty two. Oh, okay, never mind, they missed the playoffs in twenty two. Atlanta shocked them. They lost in the first round in twenty one. They missed the playoffs from twenty fourteen

to twenty twenty. The last time they were in the second round was ten years ago. Okay, okay, I had that wrong. In twenty thirteen. Now now we off to the second round. The first game of the second round was the different number seated, the number one seeded Denver Nuggets played the number four seated Phoenix Suns. They beat them one twenty five, one on seven and take the one oh lead in the semifinals matchup. Let's get some predictions out there right now. I'm gonna like this. I did not

I think somebody I already did last week. Did the Denver Nuggets too? I did not know they were that good man? They deep? And and okay, you know what after this, Bucks Tobacco, I don't want to hear either of you saying a deep anymore because y'all definition the deep gotta liminated in the first round. Okay, can I say it's deep? Let's remain you better? Who have to keep from shot? I would say Boston Celtics are deep. No, no, no, Philly's deep. Maybe that's left

dough, it's left. There's only eight teams left. I'm glad you know they're saying that, because I'm gonna say Miami is deep. No, Jimmy Butler beat us with four him. Jimmy Butler beat us with people fresh off the boat. I get that, then they're not deep. I'm Jimmy Butler and these other Miami pretty much. I'm gonna just say this for y'all. Phoenix laws Game one against the Clippers too, they did oh well. I didn't give my prediction, but I'm just saying. I'm just saying I want

you to know that before you make your predictions. Jamal Murray is looking like the Jamal Murray of old. And he said that that bubble wasn't the fluke hear me, and hear me now. He said that he wasna hear me, hear the whole series for me to make me a believer. So I'm gonna say this, the timo was wasn't good. No, I'm gonna say this. He wanted to do it against a serious like against Devin book If he do what he did last last night, real quick before you pick yours,

Phoenix would have lost versus the Clippers. If if what's it called the one hurt uh Leonard and BG, if they weren't hurt, they would have lost. I believe that Phoenix suns Phoenixes were lost the Clippers if they had a full roster. I'm gonna tell you, like if I tell you Devin Booker wasn't on yesterday, he wasn't. He wasn't no, Katie wasn't great yet. Dude. They was turning the ball over like some scrubs yesterday. If you saw that. If you are picking the Denver Nuggets, more power

to you. I got the Sons in six, but I would be okay if the Nuggets one. Here's how I am. I don't be okay. Make a prediction. Just listen. I'm a basketball fan, but when my team lost, I really stopped caring. It was I really stopped caring. I ain't gonna lie. I didn't even watch no games the next day. No, it's hard to watch. It's hard to watch games because they keep

on talking about jimmy performance. I don't care. I don't care. Everybody at worked the woman die hard Bucks fan, right, Yeah, like the night they all had I were Bucks gears. Since you see I'm hat listed right, bat So you know that's how, that's how, that's how emotional. I will listen. I that all my Bucks had in the fireplace. Listen, hey, I told my my agent. I took the Bucks agent. I said, hey, man, and so now you can hold this against me, I said, don't take a payment for a couple of days,

I said, I but I wouldn't want to make the payment. You know. Maybe four days later, feelings hurt me, but I don't take no payment tomorrow. I wore I'm not feeling it. I wore this, but it was about to get some bro I animals had on Thursday aims in the playoffs. My feelings was seriously hurt and people can see it in my face at work because like, I didn't want to talk to nobody. No, I had to tell y'all. He tried to punk us in our group. I had to tell them shut the hell up. He was like,

hey, I'm not talking about the bucks no more. He did not talking about it. You got to hear it, right, he said, y'all shut up. I don't want to hear nothing about the bucks. But the rest of the day, I'm like, hey, dad, though I was, I was really in my fields. I was about to cuss y'all out. I should God, I was cuss y'all out. Hey, Hey, that's how I was feeling. You see what I gotta deal with over with these fake kid friends. Hey, hey, hey, I needed a moment.

I needed a moment. Hey, a client, I'm gonna lie, bro, I'm sorry I had the bucks fear of the dear thing as my Facebook. Uh better soon does they lost? I changed it. Hey, it's something worse. I got some worse client. You're from Miami. He almost got revoked. I said, hey, okay, now, okay, listen, okay, now, okay, listen. I'm playing something on you. Tell you like this. I'm usually you know, when you get the buck stuff at the rena and they give it to you, I usually be

like, don't touch my buck stuff. My oldest was at the game, so I was like, here, I take this. I left my flag on the flag stuff. I don't want nothing I got. I got the kid behind me, the balls that I had one. I said, dang that to give it away. Listen, man, I did. When I tell you, I walked right out like literally, this is me standing right, this is me just watching the game like everybody else. And so it

was a buzzer hit. I'm playing. I don't want, you know, everybody trying to talk to me. And I literally said, yeah, no, I'm pretty peaceful. I said, don't talk to me. I said, don't touch me, don't say nothing to me, don't talk to me, don't touch me. Parking line was the quietest most well. This side of the street was quiet, but the other side was vulgar as ever. Drop people when your team lose. Oh, they were not happy. They were not happy. To ride home, I probably said five thousand Cutch words

and didn't say a word in the car. I uh, I don't say how y'all did that? Man, I ain't gonna that's rough and got to don't think about this though. The game to start at eight thirty, so I was going home at like twelve o'clock. Filed up and I got to go to work the next day after a loss like that, bro, I'm gonna lie. I got up the next morning and I didn't go into noon. Uh it's a Thursday, so I normally go in late. Anyway, I didn't watch no stephen Ay. I silenced my ESPN. I didn't want

to hear it. It was rough. I didn't want to hear it. I told you for for us, this watch ol zeke. This Bucks lost and I don't know how we got back to the Bucks felt like the Packers collapse in the NFC Championship against the Seahawks back in twenty to fourteen. Feel worse to me, not to me, because we were the Packers should have went to The Packers were up three three three touchdowns. The Bucks, we knew it. When it was going into overtime, it was over. We

were down for you. I can live with the Packers losing, but the Bucks I spent so many Listen, this is always as a kid, we watched We watched Bucks games from the roof because we were sold into the Bucks the Bradley Center. I'm talking about one we were sitting up you know where the beam cup go outside the building, That's where we were sitting. So Yannie did say something interesting and I got even credit for taking the ownership.

He said, the biggest mistake the Bucks made was we were playing for a championship and Miami was playing to win, basically saying the Bucks had their site set too far and not taking it game by game, series by series. Yeah, because the Bucks didn't have some ego coming in. They played like it was gonna come to him, like it was just gonna be handed to him, and it didn't. But what's your prediction? Because you you tap dance around, Um, are you sticking with Denver in seven? No?

I didn't say that. You said Denver. You said Phoenix and six. I'm gonna go with the Suns. The Sons are I think the Suns can take this man. The Suns and six Denver and five. Whoa, But you know what, this could be the year because it's been crazy Denver and I got Denver in six, Denver in five. I don't think Phoenix when it was one game because he's got let me tell you one thing about Denver. They play together. One thing I was and they have a chemistry from

being together for some years that Phoenix ain't got yet. Can I you know what, low Humble? You know what? Else? Though, Joker is playing with a chip on his shoulder because you're going to rob him of his third MVP. Joker is playing with how you know you've been getting robbed on his show? You every commentary that has basically confirmed because they get to vote, you know what I'm saying, and they get the vote. Um, Joker is playing with a chip. I like Phoenix to win it, and

you said I dance. I'm picking Phoenix, but it wouldn't surprise me if different puts it off. You dancing, I don't care about just say I said to sound and six and I'm looking soon as he asked me, I said, what you said, denference. We're not letting him pat himself back. He's been patting himself on the back of here, okay with me and Keith was talking on Friday. Do you know I've each telling to hurt? What did I say? Though? What did I say? Though? I'm

so tired of hearing that? Shut up? Because I don't think of the Lagers we're gonna win. We were gonna hear that because when I'm wrong, because when I lost, Lakers lost because I'm because because when I couldn't, Because when I'm wrong, you rob me like a donkey in the U boys he does, especially him. You know you've been on you've been on the leg. You're the worst one. But on the lagers, you're the worst. Like White, don't Rice, You're the worst, the worst. I'm

so sick of hearing that. Now that button has to permanently be deleted. It needs to be retired. Well, let's sleep. What happens? Uh, we're the Western Conference? Any amy, no Western Conference with the Western Conference? Can we get there? I know you geeked up. You just geek up, all right? So everybody got that. Everybody got there. They know what you're right, let's do that one last because we know that Boston and who no, no, no, let's go to the East Boston

play. They haven't played a game yet, so that's why I haven't mentioned it. But today the eighth Sea to Miami beat the number for a number five New York Nicks one on eight, one on one, take one on league. What is your prediction in this series? Miami and five? Really New York is six Miami, New York and seven Miami. Jimmy's out, He's not show, he'll playing the bump. I've just rewatched it. I don't think it was the ankle. What do you think it was? I

think it was achilles. No, he would have came back in. I think it was go back and look at the look at the go back and look at it, because he didn't roll it. Yeah, he didn't roll it. It could be the heel. But he got he got stepped on. Yeah, he got stepped on what's it called stepped on on on the back of his foot. He pulled the job. Not that that was that was rough, it was. It is a high ankle sprain. It's a high ankles ring. Game too is uncertain. So I'm gonna say this.

I'll but y'all don't like that with Jimmy stop. Assuming Jimmy's out, Nixon six or maybe the Nixon five. Even if Jimmy's I won't go ahead. Here's why you can't, Well, which one do you have before you go on? Because Jimmy's hurt? So Jimmy being hurt, ain't got nothing to do? Yeah does? Yeah, it does does. So, assuming that Jimmy's hurt, I'm gonna go with the Knicks Nixon six. But if it

is hurt he missed one two games at the most ankle injury. Bro, Yeah, okay, would do this same Miami and six, Miami and six because Jimmy and the heat Als will have a chip on their shoulder. They do, and when you knock off the number one seed, you don't come in and lose to the fives unless y'all send the Knicks are better than the Bucks. Jaylo Brunson is a problem. What Jimmy Butler is a problem? Kevin Love anna call him a problem? Kevin Love is looking a little resurrected.

He feels damn is feeling himself. They starting to fill himself. What's the other shooter trust, trust, tru trust, whatever. He's a bucket trust, he plays trust. He's a bucket. Y'all't know why you said his name like that, because he's brands circles around us. He fresh off the boat too. So I'm gonna go with Miami and six, assuming Jimmy is healthy. I'm going Nixon seven, Going Nixon six, okay, because Bronson is a problem and they almost beat Miami today. I think a little

fatigued. Their offense just kind of just lacked for some reason. And I think that the fact that the fact that R. J. Barrett isn't the center of focus helps him out here, helps his game out because he's one of those quiet guys who will get twenty. Um. Now let's get let's get to what did it do? Boston? They ain't played it? That's why ain't That's why ain't talking. Thank your predictionous man. We are we here Boston play uh the number two seed? Number number two seed Boston.

Um, they just be Atlanta Hawks, the number seven C four, two and six game series. Shout out to Atlanta for coming back and making it decent Umus, I don't know that's why I was looking at that too. Marritime just irritates me. Anyways, So the next day play the Philadelphia and Sevic six years. That series starts Monday. Um, like we talked about earlier, Joel and b injuries a little bit more serious than we whinning me thought, I say, either way, this goes Boston and six agreed rather

he was fully healthier or not Boston and six Boston the five. I can see that. No, let's let's get to this man has been here because be honest with you, just get ready to rumble. I'm really honestly. After this, after the Lakers went in and then Golden State winning their first round matchups, I'm like, you know what, I'm done roots with the underdog. I'm just so getting tired of I'm sorry, I'm just so tired. That's how many about it. I'm about the Bucks. But anyways,

in this corner we have the reigning champions. The number seven was the number number five, number five C, number six, no number six s the number six C Steph Curry just dropped fifty. So that's they're bound to lose Game one. They do not have the ankles about to be soaking, but they're playing the number seventh Seed lost and his Lakers, and I believe Lebron knows this team quite well, very well. And now I have a thriving

a d Now watch out for uh um, Draymond Green. He will do anything to win if he even if he got kicking your nuts, he will do whatever it takes to win. Or he might lay, or he might just you know what's funny. It was gonna piss me about this series that because Draymond Green and be like, well, it's a good team. It's a really good team. We lost, and you know, it is what it is. We have to go back to the drawing board. But anybody else, Oh, he's talking crazy, don't get it twisted. He's gonna

talk crazy. Talk to him, bro, he kicked him in the nuts. What do you mean, Yeah, a couple of years ago. Now you're trying to go in the band each other in the playoffs, Draymond, you can tell they don't know. You can tell they don't slight respect, they don't. They don't talk to them. They don't talk to each other. They don't talk to each other, thank you. In the playoff they don't talk to each other than but they don't. Damn. That's my point,

he don't talk crazy to anybody else, No stopping on. He's not gonna do that for the King, chopping up like we do. Draymond talks trash to Lebron in the play the game. He does, he does. Everybody watch the series, watching series the way it got predictions. Six what six games, sir, y'all be lucky if y'all win one, because if our our if the bench come to play like they came to play last series. I don't think. I don't think you the new Lakers, they haven't.

They don't want that smoke, so everyone because Steph Cover can't do it by seven, then you can see they beat a young sack going to get some king. I thought Sacramento whole did held they own? They they held the own. They cover carry pretty well. Congratulates. I don't know what

the Lakers can do the same. Congratulations to the King. I think Schroulder that backcourt that cannot finish before you because I'm feeling I can't even say I can't get my things out without here getting ready to go to the war because because I can't even finish what I'm about to say, I think with Vanderbilt

and shoulder switching on the teams best player. It's gonna be and fit the Lakers against them being able to throw Vanderbilt, which is long and taller on Steff and then also be able to throw somebody who was just as quick and smaller on him at the same time. It's gonna slow him down. Nobody can stop him. Nobody, and I'm not nobody can take that away, just like you can't stop Lebron, but you can slow him down. That's the same thing with any superstar KD. You can slow him down, but

you ain't gonna stop him. So you're going with Lakers and six Lakers in six. You're serious, serious, as long as eighty don't rollers ankle, as long as also he gets to it. But I don't as long as they gets But I said it already. I meant what I said, as long as you don't roll his ankle. But he didn't say. He didn't say Lakers in six unless he roll his ankle, and then Warriors, and then that's what you do. That's sat dancing, he said, six regardless.

I just hope, I just hope the Warriors don't blow on them too hard and make my boy hurt. That's what he so cross Hill adcom go the other way. He's out all seasons. Yeah, I've been calling Keisi a Laker fan. If you don't believe me, listen to the last three minutes. It's podcast. He Abo. He just let me have it. I didn't even do. Nothing I did was going for the button he felt

that he went in. All I said is if the Lakers, if the bench played the way they did the last series against Memphis, Vater stats in trouble. I'm I meant what I said. The Memphis Grizzlies are no Golden Say Warriors. Let's start the John Morette is a mom star in itself and he was and they got destroyed by the Los Angeles. Like, okay, okay, Steph CRY's a monster. I can get you that and step But everybody else I don't believe in him. Who beat Memphis last year? The

Warriors Steff. So I'm gonna say this, and my rant was hurt, but go ahead, the Golden State Warriors make up ever pick. I'm making a speech to the pick fire. There's nobody on the Lakers that can hold Staff. Wow, there's nobody on the Lakers that can hold Clay outside of Lebron. Lebron's the exception to every rule. Kway, who's gonna hold Clay on the Lakers? Who's gonna hold Clay on the same person who held him in Sacramento? Because they're gonna put Ron on Steff? You do know that

or not? They always do, They always did. Vanderbilt, Vanderbilts got Steff. I guarantee you, I Wiggins, Lebron, that's gonna be there. That's gonna be there. They'll put Bron on staff because they always do. Lebron watch to take step step step has never crossed Lebron for a reason, the ref has crossed Lebron multiple pick or time you better get you to your Google and you he's crossed Lebron multiple times. Don't argue because I like

Lebron. Listen, but across is across, just like everything everything. Let's see what I did there for everything you got, you think you got, we got something for it. The Golden State Warriors and seven Reeves. Reason this series reaves on Clay, Vanderbilt on Steph, Bron on Wiggins, ad got oh hey, D's gonna dominate the paint and we got whatever Draymond's gonna get in his head and we got uh, hey, keep guarding Draymond.

So Draymond ain't gonna be able to sink down and get them defensive helps because now you gotta do what you got because you see in a game, if you want to leave him open. Yeah, I would say that Golden State has five or where. But what I will say the advantage that the Lakers does have because I'm an objective fan, go to say this small, very small, god to say it's small and the Lakers play big ball, right,

but that they played bullyball. Because if you have a d Lebron, Hachi, Mara, Reeves and umand Vanderbilt the height they're hovering over Golden State outside Kevin Looney, right, But I don't think will start because Delo gotta start. Dolo has to start, and Delo's the smallest player on the Lakers and he's six four, right, So I am looking forward to the series. Uh do we want to do a gentleman's bed here? You got the Lakers that I have golden Stateman's I'm sorry, no, go hey, I

want to do a bet some time to do it. So just just so the world to know. If you type in Steph Curry crosses Lebron, you can see five versions of it from five different games. That's want to prove you wrong. Don't times an Joe ever? Oh bron Bron's poster have the NBA. But I'm saying he said it like Steph can't can't put Lebron on skates? So what is the bet? Let's let zeke pick what's your what's your picture? What's your things? Let's let's hear who side do you want?

Let's hear the odd squad over here? He doesn't like Lebron, man, he doesn't doesn't like Steph, So let's hear the odd squad or everybody not watch the games? Anybody texts us? Who want? I'm gonna watch? So who do you got? I'm gonna be honest, I'm gonna be irritated either way. It goes um irritated. Either way it goes he really want to hear me, here's the thing, but he definitely don't want to hear you. So I'm guessing rather hear me, didn't hear you? That's

what I'm getting before you. Who's worse here but Lebron or being step whose worse, be truthful and be really honest with no. Let me let me say it. Let me say it. Let me say, you slap the table half over the table real quick? What hey, real quick? He's hit the hamra on the nail. Because I can't stand Golden Stay so much. No, you are the problem. I like st I don't like the Warriors, but here because you're playing the Lakers. We're talking nobody, nobody

who play well. No, I said, he can't whole play. We're talking about a matchup. You said, the whole play? Whoever name he said? You said, um h vander Lleva. So I remember talking about another matchup. I would defend the team that I'm going to get. Here my thing. So here is my pick now number one. Like I said before, I'm irritated either way it goes. But like I said, also

said at the beginning of this podcast, I'm done picking the underdog. So with that being said, unfortunately, I'm put on Golden State in six, I'm going Golden Things. You ain't picked no underdogs, underdogs you picked. I wanted, um the underdogs, Sacramento, pick Sacramento, pick Memphis. I picked Memphis, but the Lakers were the underdog Cleveland. They weren't really

though. Yeah they were the underdog. No, everybody, everybody who has changed, like you said, But like I said before, they're gonna suck tomorrow too. He said that. So what's our back? What's our back? Gonna make this bet before we wrap up here? What do you want to bet? He's your gentleman's bad? What do you want to do? What loser has to wear opposite person's jersey or a hat or gear. So Lakers win, you gotta pull some Laker gear, hat, shirt, t

shirt, whatever, and you gotta buy it. Yep, Golden State for the for the following part. And I don't. I don't own nothing Golden Stuff, own nothing Golden State or Lakers. So either way you own Lakers stuff. Don't you have some Laker stuffy stuff? I got some shoes, Lebrons, you got a Lakers shirt. You wore a Lebron shirt here for the Lakers. It's a Lebron shirt that it's still it's Laker. So if if we lose, we the Golden State. Look, I knew he was

a Golden State fan. I do it. I knew it. I have not the suit, gave it away if the Lakers win the following Sunday, we're on Amazon and we do next day delivery, I would wear a Los Angeles Lakers sad if Golden State. Now I want you to wear a Lebron James shirt. I ain't no a shirt with Lebron Jame. And I was hurt with Steph cry on it legal, that's not no, because I go. I'm a man that owns a lot of shoes. You both know that.

And I've passed on great hats from other basketball teams that don't match my shoes because I'm loyal to the Bucks. I'm not wearing a Lakers shirt because I like Lebron. Me wearing a Lebron shirt doesn't make me lose a beat. No, I'm not wearing a Lakers I would wear a Laker's hat, and you wear a Golden State hat. Plus no, but bus what man? People hear what I'm saying. You know it's a camera right there, So what let me think about it? Oh no, I don't want to

think. What do you think about? No, we have it right now, right now. That number number of the bill I had that number of the bill, don't don't No, I'm stay out of this because you're not in it. Stit out of this. I can wear whatever I want that Golden State right, a hat or show hats rose. Why I gotta do what you say? Do I said a shirt? He say no, I say if you do shirt. If you do the shirt, can't wear a hoodie over it. You gotta take the hoodie off. I'm rocking the hole.

You always wear a Golden State shirt. You always wear a zipper. You wear a zipp up all the time. So you gotta take off. You gotta leave it and just leave. So you're gonna no, no shirt off, jack jacket, off the show shirt. Fifty bucks, Well take away the fifty bucks. No shout of this. We'll talk about the bed of that later. No, we didn't shake. This is our shake. We're doing gentleman right now. Gear we gamble anyway, So no so gears hats a right, Bishop hats half the Kessy said the shirt. Hats in

It's not about what this. Of course I I'm gonna be irritated either way it goes. You just will with Golden State. So you want to make that better. I'm saying, I'm just not betting against I'm betting against the clear swear who you got sounds like me? But this is gonna be a

good one. But it's been ask you this before, y'all. Go Zeke. Does the winner of this series win the NBA five? No, still Boston, Boston will lose to the Lakers. Boston.
