The only part that matters, the only part about it, the only part. I will let that ride. Boy, my friend, Hey, okay, now, birthday brother. Now we've got year. You know, we got that game on that the way, Let's keep it moving. Man, respect people, Man, we respect people. I ain't respecting people.
We had the moment. Let's get it out. The word you said, but you said another word. I could have said a very political correct way, but I real hood with it. He does not speak for everybody here. People. If using opinions are those of the listeners, Now you care, go ahead, he is Go ahead. Dre with the injury report. NBA Playoffs injury report as follows. The Boston Celtics are without Marcus Smart. He had a back injury in Game three and is questionable for Game four tonight,
the which is tonight. The Los Angeles Laker Slippers. Clippers are without Kawhi Leonard. He is out. He was out yesterday and he's out Game four with the right knee spring. I was listening to the radio yesterday and they were saying he's pretty much done. Even if they go to the next round. He's pretty much done. Um, the Sixers, he's probably retired. But another stirt front of the day. Joel Embiid was out Game four and they also said on the same show that he's probably only about fifty percent.
So um, that's that this this long week arrest would be really helpful for him. Uh the Kings Uh Sabonus did not play game three, but he is currently playing right now. Tone did he blake Game three? Okay? One? One? Five? Boy? Um and then no the Miami Heat, Oh all right without up Victor Ollen depot Man. You know, prayers to that brother man. You know you feel bad for those type of injuries that he gets. This is probably the nail and the coffin in his
career. Man and the Bucks are still without Jannis. He didn't play game three, like the dedic Gate the day of questionable for games. He tore something in his left knee and it was sad to see because he knew right away it was over. He knew he knew right away. Moving along to our shoot around section, when we're talking about the news and what's going on
hot topics growing around the NBA. UM real quick shout out to official winners the UH These Awards Defensive Player of the Year, UH, Jared Jackson Junior UM six Man of the Year Malcolm Broderick Broad Broad and the first unanimous Coach of the Year Mike Brown. So shout out to those guys, UM for officially one of these awards. UM for the Seat for the Year, UM, let's get right into it. Draymond Green was suspended for Game three of
the Warriors Verse King's Series for his partner incident with Sabonis Tone. I did so well that his second knee injury. Who Victor? I think that's his third? That was his I think it was. He went down in Indiana this year in total total, Like, is that the second? I think second? I think it's the second. Third. He went down in Indiana. He went down in Miami again with the same injury, and he just went down again. That's the third across the Yeah, yeah, right.
I think it's just I don't know if it's the same need though, but I know it's. UM. Give the man an office job. Let's see what happens. I would too much in the King's faver in this series. I really believe that the home crowd or whatever these referees have dictated too much in The King's faver in this series, I really believe that, and I don't know if it's the home crowd or whatever. I rarely complain about the referees. In fact, I don't even know I've ever complained about the referees.
I think they're great. But if they're gonna come back in this series, they've got to call the game the way the game is supposed to be called. I'm not saying this is a dirty player, but there's some dirty plays here. There's a completely disagree with this. He should not have been suspended. We spent two games. They spent two games trying to bait him. Sabonus over and over. You go back to the end of game one. He pulls down Draymond Green on the defensive rebound. They go down Wiggins
miss is the potential game winner. I watched that clip five times yesterday from three different angles. Not only does he pull them down, Draymond's trying to get up, he reaches around and grabs his chest so he can't run down the court. Earlier in the fourth Draymond gets the defensive rebound, makes the outlets passing, so Bonus elbows him as he's running by then flops to the
ground and if he has an alternate angle, I don't know. If we do of the play, it's very clear that Bonus grabs Clay Thompson, tries to rip them down to the ground to draw a foul, and flops and ends up at Draymond's ankle and then makes the dirty basketball play. That is a non basketball player to grab someone's ankle, But we month hit it to Draymond. Um. So I played that clip just be based on the I played that clip, and I wanted to pose this question to the table.
He's Draymond Green a victim of bad referee or the punishment fit the crime. It's your birthday. You go ahead. You're the local Warriors fan, so I go ahead. So what what the official ruling came out first? Was they suspended them because of his history. Yes, that's what it was history, But you got to know the history is what played the biggest factor in their decision. I don't know what I mean. And Draymond has done his dirt, but at the same time, plenty players do dirt in this league.
If you if you watch the games, He's not the only person to
do dirt. But at the same time, if you got a history of it on the big stage, you cannot do it because they don't want that publicity because there's more people watching the NBA games right now then there are doing the regular season if he would have did doing the regular season game, so you multiplied that by ten and what you probably was getting doing the regular season game of a Sacramento in Warriors game, so that many people think it's okay
for that, will think that's okay to play basketball that way, and that's what they want to stop. So if they set the punishment high, didn't that lets people know we're not tolerating this is the rush of the playoffs and that goes for every rushing the teams that's out here. I wanted I kind of agree with that, but they basically used him as an example. I don't even say use him AGAs example. And that's one thing. Number two commissioner was in the building. So that's number two, number three, um
Draymond Green. After the fact, the antics, the hyping the crowd up, him talking crazy to the crowd. Yeah, yeah, give me all that. Yeah, running around here. He just didn't leave, He didn't sit down. He was doing a lot of antics, and according to this table, person to my left a little bit personal to right, but it's more of my person to the left. These antics, they shouldn't be tolerated. Now my opinion on this, he deserved it. Rather you, Rather
you do it three full times? Rather you. My thing is, you know you are always being watched for what you do, especially you because you have a history of it. And rather regardless of what Sa Bonus was doing, you were getting you shouldn't hey, you shouldn't shouldn't retaliate, you should rise above, like you know what. I'm not gonna put my team in jeopardy. I'm not gonna put my team in jeopardy. I'm an important part of this team. I need to do better. Because Draymond Green isn't seven
six years in this, four years in this. He's a ten plus year veteran, so he shouldn't know better. Not go ahead defended Dre. So So let me say this a couple of things I wanted to start off. I was gonna first apologize to the Sacramento Kings because I didn't realize their ball club was that good. Number one, I did not realize that ball club was that good. You didn't hear to that true state just because everybody think
it's Sacramento, Sacramento the day some ballers. Golden State will still win the series, but Sacramento or some ballers. If I'm Dremond Green and you're grabbing my leg again, my natural response is to get you. Can I finish? Can I finish? I was quiet for seven minutes. I'm looking at the clock. Twelve manute. Wasn't twelve minutes of us talking about okay too? My natural inklant is if you're grabbing me, I don't care how I'm getting you off of me. I'm just trying to get you off. Yeah,
I said it, but I'm gonna answer your question. JJ Reddick is spot on. It feels like the referees are trying to not only rob the Golden State Warriors out of this opportunity, They're trying to rob the Lakers. They're trying to rob the Bucks. The refereeing in this playoffs has been atrocious. It has not been called down the middle. It has not. I've watched every single playoff game since this began, every single one, or listen to the other, and the referees are once again making this about them,
Scott Foster and company making it about him, all of these refs. That was not only a bad call on Draymond. If anything, you give them both a double tech. You gave that. You know, Draymond got a flagrant, he got a tech. Draymond got a flagrant. That's different. Okay, that's different. So I'm all about being, you know, respecting the game of basketball. Came standing Memphis Grizzlies for their antics and they've done nothing. Draymond Green is a four time champion. Oh my, let me
get to it. No, Draymond Green is a four time champion and for you to say he should know better is flat out disrespectful. Hold up, because if you and I got into beef and I grab your arm, you don't care nothing about the rest of my body. Your goal is to do what get me off of you. We're not addressing the fact that sabonus elbowed that man hard, flopped to the ground hard, and then grabbed him.
Not only did he grab his leg, Keissey, he made an effort to wrap his arm around Raymond to trip him, so Draymond stupped on him. Now, granted it could have been more of a costly play. Absolutely, Draymond's not wrong. He defended himself and the NBA got his suspension wrong. It's one thing to get a man a flagrant, give him a technical, but the Draymond stump kissy doesn't happen. If sabonus doesn't what exactly not play
off basketball? Here we go touch the man. If you don't want me to respond, if you don't respond, if you don't want you take it him. My chest is a response. You don't. You get tripped, you fall to the ground. You don't stop on somebody's chest and don't come in. You know what's funny about Draymond hold up? Draymond Greens seems to be so clumsy when it's convenient for him, when he kicking somebody, then us he's going for a rebound, his leg flying up in the air.
But any other time, Averymond Greens know how to control himself. But when it's when it's a flagrant, Oh, he's so clumsy. I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you another example, just so you don't think I'm Warriors found. I don't think Dylan Brooks should have got suspended for what he did to the didn't he got kicked out the game. Well, I don't think that was a flagrant too. He was He kicked him in nut. He was trying to make a basketball play. He hit him in his nuts.
Anytime he's trying to make a basketball there's a basketball you answer the question yes or no. No, he wasn't making a basketball player. Fine, did some bonus grab Draymond's legs and rap him around? So who cares of how you're trying to get down. I'm just trying to get you off of me. And that's what Raymond Bone shouldn't have touched. Let me let me ask you this. Yeah, yeah, you okay with him stomping on your whid because you grabbed hold on You're okay with him stomping on your wheels because
you grabbed his foot when he ran past you. You could have broke You could have broke his knee, You could have spranged his ankle. What if he would have failed? What if he would have failed? Hard do not grab a player in the middle of a basketball play. Draymond was not only defending himself, he was in the middle of a basketball play. He could have caused further injury. He watched the take. I watched the tap.
I saw it live. You know what's you know what's compared this compared to you know, this is compared to Joel mb You said you watch all the games, right, I watched all the games Joel NB JOELNB got dumped on. He uh Claxton stepped over him, Joel Embi tried to kick him in his nuts. And that's trash. Okay, that's tight, that's trash. That's right. Now, here's my things, right. You know what, Nick did you tripped me off? I didn't try. He didn't try to
kick my leg. The thing about it is, like I said before, Draymond Green does this stuff? Could he knew what he was doing, He knew exactly what he was doing. I'm not so this whole. It could have caused further injury. He could he down making it. And I agree with J. J. Redick that was not a basketball play. This is playoff basketball. You get grabbed, you get scratched. I watched all the games too, Joker joker, Oh, he getting scratched, he getting hacked.
That's part of the game because are up three zero and the raps are commedything zero. That's part of the game. The referees miscalled. But you so if you just sit here and say, oh, this is some conspiracy against a Golden State Warriors, I didn't say that. Say so. Two things I want to clarify. I said the referees have been terrible all playoffs, but mostly you can see it against the Golden State, the Milwaukee Bucks in the Los Angeles Lakers, and I stand by that. The second thing
that I want to say, I am not condoning what Draymond did. What I said was it doesn't let me finish, It doesn't warrant a suspicion. And we're acting like so bonus didn't grab and wrap his arms around the man's leg that Draymond doesn't step on your ribs if you don't grab and wrap your arms around his legs. If somebody grabbed my leg, my first thing to get you off to fall to the ground. You go with the injury. You know how people get hurt, They fight the injury, They fight the
flow. They fight the flow when you twist. You know, when you twist your ankle, you fall down. That that prevents me twisting my ankle. So you took about Draymond Green. My job is to get you off me. No, you know what that would have happened if you fell down technical file file So bonus. That's smart. Dremond Green supposed to be this sole basketball savvy person. That's how I know he did it on purpose. No, glad, he say, yes, I know what you're talking about.
He grabbed his foot for a second and let it go. No, he did not let it go. Watch it, watch it. I just brought it up in He barely grabbed his foot. Watch it, watch it, watch it. Look they'll go to foot. He let go. Look, he jumped off his rid, took his play, He took his body as a launching He just he used his ribs as a launching pad. Watch bro. He look did he grab he held it? He bro? He didnt. Did like, you're not going anywhere, okay, grandma, grandma,
right, you're not going nowhere? Watching watch him one more time? Just watch it. Here we go again, watch it. Okay, he got his foot, he gets loose. Now he launches off of his rig. He didn't just come on man, and then and then on top of sion, and then on top of that, then on top of that. The antics, the antics after the play, well that's that's hold that part of his hold second, now, hold on second. I expect I expect Dylan Brooks doing it. You know, I expect Dylan Brooks to do the
type of stuff. I expect Dylan brids to do that type of stuff. So when he when he was like you know what, I found him and I went he went to the bench. That was it? That should have been it? Yeah, but it wasn't it. I can't I stress. I do not candone Draymond's actions. I just don't think it warned a suspicion, and folks are overlooking the fact that that stuff doesn't happen. If some bonus doesn't grab him, and if it wasn't fil we all be drunk.
You know what got them to believe what I'm saying all of his is if if if if if, if, if, if Lebron did it, you wouldn't be saying that Lebron wouldn't do nothing like that? What Lebron wouldn't do nothing like that? Flop king? What come on? Man, I'm just saying. All I'm saying is now, can y'all answer the question today? You want to hold up? Can y'all answer the question? Though? JJ? Reddy posed the question, has the referee been lopsided this series? I
don't think, and so I don't think. So you know, you know what, I've been beaten up, Steph Curry. You know what I've been whooping. Its one thing you got to remember, though, Andre, I've seen Steph Curry get beat up my real name. So this is this is playoff basketball. I understand Marquis, and it's gonna be a little more physical than you was seeing the regular season. And call it both because it is when I go home? Did call it both ways? Have the Bucks not
been getting shafted by the rest? I was at both games, so I was at both games in the somewhat. But I don't buy a call. I don't. I don't want to say. But also the Bucks are shooting horrible too from the three. That's what I'm saying, Like, I don't want to put the Bucks stop shooting so many threes to get to the basket. Hear that, but hear that, but it is. But um, I can't believe y'all are giving some bonus a pass, especially you mister race
Car about everything. This ain't gonna do this, Wow, this hashing. This has nothing to do. This has nothing to do with race, and if anything to me, you're remembering to me Saboniships are playing soft. He's been getting bumped. So he been, he been. He has been playing to me horrible. And so here's why I want to apologize real quick. I want to apologize to a couple of people, Sacramento Kings, because I didn't realize their franchise was that good. Daron Fox, I tend to agree
with you. Nowaday he may make NBA All First Team. I tend to agree with you. The boys a baller h F Sacramento can knock off the Golden State Warriors. I don't believe they will. They might make some noise in these playoffs. I don't know about y'all, but all my projections are trashed, like gone out the window. Also want to apologize in Philadelphia seventy six ers. Didn't realize they were that hungry. I didn't think they would sweep the Brooklyn Nets at all, I think at all. And my final
apology and I'll give it back to you. Nothing to apologize to the Los Angeles Lakers. I don't then I think they had an in them either. Didn't think they had it in them either. It's been three games. It's been three games. But the Lakers are playing like a hungry team, not saying they're gonna win. I just need to apologize for being so hard on those three teams going into the playoffs. That's all I told you. I see in the finals, and I meant what I said, The Lakers in
the Bucks? Do you still see that? He said? He said, the Celtics in the Lake, the Seltics and the Lakers. Do you still see that? Still see it? I don't know. Philly is looking a little dangerous, man. They really don't want to smoke on. No, No, Boston, they going down to they win in the games, but they going down to the wire with Brooklyn but still swept them. What do
you think, Tatum and they're gonna be They still swept. No, Well, if you don't have them bad, it's it's it's a nail mccaffin anyway. But go ahead, man. I also got to remember, no you got, you got, you got Horford going against Ebid and Horford's not no no walking the park like Claxton clashes about a hunting and thirty five Soca wet. I don't know this. This is here's the thing about um, here
we go another technical fi. I was another technical file for what we're watching this game on live TV and this keen player falls to the ground and he watching a technical file. I didn't see what happens, So I'm not gonna see here and say it was a technical Did you see Steve Kerr doing like this? Steve k unless you say time out, Let's see here. He ran into a looney screen. It cannot move once he had that ball off, he cannot man if these Golden State fans now, did I see the
play? Fine, But if that was that was chasing somebody on the screen and he ran into it like that, no call it, call it, get him out of here, call out here. I just want games to be called fair. Do you want to be called fair? Do you want to be called to your team? I want to be called fair. Sure. We were at game one last Sunday in the amount the terrible referee and call is what called the Bucks didn't play great. But the referee added to
the carney of that game. I would say this, here's here's the thing when the Bucks, because the first part you got right, the Bucks didn't play good. They just call it what it is. The three look like the championship team right now, I can say that, Well, we'll get there. But talking about Philly and Brooklyn, um going into talking about who who is? Uh? Who has made the best who has made the biggest statement in the playoffs so far? Um, I guess Dre is going with
Philly. Um, No, I don't know that. I'm I'm I don't know that I can go with Philly man Um, but I'm actually gonna have to go with the Knicks. To go with the Knicks, Oh, go ahead, all right? Philadelphia sweeping Philadelphia sweeping the Brooklyn Nets, Miami having a two one lead over the Yannis Less Bucks. Um, Denver Nuggets being up three all minutes, Sota Timberwoold, that's who you should be apologizing to. No, because I still and or the Knicks having a three one lead
on the Cleveland Cavaliers. So I'm gonnabout the Knicks month because, um, everybody, when I picked Jesus, when I picked Brooklyn to win it in seven, everybody called me crazy. They said, Dre, what are you smoking Brooklyn? Mike gets swept. I said, really, I don't think that would I'm not go ahead I'm sorry, yeah, I said. People called. They were like people were texting me, like, bro, what
are you smoking? Like Philly gonna sweep Brooklyn? I said, no, I think Brooklyn can pull it off in seven because I didn't pull the Philly height so that I'm not shocked about that one. They don't have one superstar. That's that's the problem. I was just I was thinking, I think I said, I think I said Philly in five. I said, I said Philly and six. I thought seven. I said Philly and five or
six. I can't remember. So to ask your question, I'm gonna go with the Knicks because the knicks best player isn't even playing that great Julius Randall. Yes, and they're still their second best. They're still up three one. And I didn't think that a fifth seed Knicks could Oh okay, I didn't know because I'm saying wow, because you literally two files coming down sacramentaship have should be on the line right now. But you call it both ways, you know what. I'm sorry, Focus, focus up, focus.
I didn't have the Knicks leading three games to one, and and and not not only are the Knicks beating the Calves, they're dominating the Calves, don't beat, don't be conflicted by the scores. I'm sure that makes Tone happy over there with his team, the Knicks, right, but the Knicks are not time. I'm happy that they're happy over there. The Knicks are winning. I'm happy they're happy over there. The whole relationship. So Tone said
he's he's he's done with the toxicity of the New York Knicks. So I like the Knicks up three one because all of us had Cleveland in six or seven. I had Cleveland. Yeah, So I'm gonna give it to the Knicks. Because the Knicks, I think the stats said their last playoff win and they haven't won yet. I want to say it was two thousand and one, something like that. I don't remember, but comin with two thousand and six. They have been in the playoffs in two thousand and six.
Yeah, like the Bean right, like the Beams. So I'm gonna go with the Knicks. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with the Knicks because I had a little bit of faith in Cleveland. I'm not even gonna lie Bucks. I kind of was just it is what it is. I just don't got no faith in the Bucks. Is year. Something is off. I can't tell what it is yet, but something is off with our with our rotation even before that though, And I don't know if it's Bud or
if we got somebody that shouldn't be in our rotation. All right, I'll say this, and I think Jay Crowder making me look bad. Bro. I was out here vouching for you. Man, I'm out and I'm still vouching for you because we got time to turn this around. But Jay, come on, Bro, Drake Crowder, Jay Crowder, come on, Bro, has been a mess. You can know how y'all called what did y'all call him? Playoff Pee? Yeah, playoff Jay? Everybody wants them until
the playoffs. Here's the thing about this, here's the thing about that. Let him walk at the end of this season. Here. Number one, that's cool, we can let him walk. That's cool. You can let him walk. That's number one. Number two. I um, but the Drake Carwder situation, I don't want to say it's not enough. I just feel like he don't know where he fits in at um. I think that that's what it is to me. I think he don't know where he fit in at So for him, to uh to quote unquote suck as he does
right now. I'm not like mad about it because I didn't expect him to drop twenty. I did expect him to drop fifteen. I etect them drop like ten, nine and eight. Lex with Draymond Green kind of numbers. Is hoping to play some some lockdown defense. He ain't even doing that. I think he don't. He lost some of his minutes. Yeah, I don't know where. I don't think you know where he fit in at here. And that comes with you not being Oh that's comes with you not being
part of the season though. So that's that's my thing. Um. As far as the Knicks go. Later for Julius Rando, let's give it to was that Bronson. Bronson, Jalen Bronson, that's the dude. Because I didn't know he was um that good until now. Even in Dallas he was cool, you know, he was the nice guy come off the bench. But he's that guy. And for him to come around playoff time just to like last year, the last two years I think the Knicks made the playoffs,
they probably was random, Like he wasn't showing up. So for him to not even show up, Steve and I show up still, by the way, this might be the last time they see him for him still not to show up, and Brussel like, I got it, don't worry about it. That's crazy. It's crazy watching him on the bench, crazy out there putting on the show, putting on a clinic like they can't hold him now at all. I know you don't like to hear this, but you
you should at least co signed with this. Brunston was out there stepping them. He couldn't miss the shot. He couldn't miss the shot. But you know what's funny about that? Me? Range, I'm talked. Even from the three point line, yo, yeah, even from the three point line. He was fucking now. I will say we all three of us here was wrong about what's the call it, what's his name? He's wrong about
the Cleveland Cleveland and I feel like this game. But Mitchell was like, let's let's just call it what is but our predictions last week for terror. But I think I shaid, I think I said, though we all pick Cleveland. I thought I said Spider one consistent enough, y'all. I should have posted it, but I didn't. I probably wouldn't go back and listen. But this, here's the thing about this, here's the thing about this.
I feel like this past game, today's game. The looking spider face was the same look he had in Utah, like it's over, like not that, not that, not only is it over, which I wanted to do like he did. He had a bad shooting game, So okay, so who gonna step up? Nobody? A bad shooting serious last year, the last first two games, not last game. He had ten. The game before that, the two games in New York. Look at his stats was horrible. Here we go, Here we go. Let's commentate on My
thing is six seconds left, the ball in Fox his hand. Fox gets it out to Harrison Bars, he miss his. Golden State wins one twenty six to one, twenty five to Golden State. Warriors tied this series two games to two. We're going back to Yeah, this is a Bucks fan. Hey, y'all, this is a Bucks fan. Hey, Yeah, this is a this is a Bucks fan, y'all. Hey, Hey, we're going back to Sacramento, were the series is tied to too. This has actually been the best series of the Black It was gonna be check this
out. I want, y'all, I want you to feelis Curry. Feelis Curry, and feelis Draymond. Because y'all got to go back to Sacramento twice. Well, but here you think for the pull up to time time out, time out. Remember though Sack didn't, they didn't blow out the Warriors. They the gloom out one time and the second game the Warriors gave it away with the help of some ref That was bad. Harrison Barns should be taking that shot. Step in. He could have took one step. It
was enough time for to take one step in. Yeah, I can see one step in a nice mint brand pyle. That's name. Two games to two. Uh, this is to me, said sacking seven. Series. We are home, girl, get your hands one of my arm pits, I said, sacking seven. I got Golden State and six. There they'll win on the road in game five and then winning game six and no clothes at at home Sacramento and seven, I said, second seven, second seven man, and I expect Golden State to win all their home games, but
they're gonna win to away games on a bat. You're talking to you, talking to you, you know him. I don't bet him him being him because the best go in You get all the type of stipulations to go behind. You gotta sidy, you gotta shake on what we're saying. No, because step get hurt. Game five, you're pulling out no a bet to beat. It's different when you're making predictions. But keep us ruling, keep us rolling. We got a lot of playoff basketball. But um, yeah,
I mean I think we all agree here. The Knicks was the was the main thing that everybody kind of threw everybody off because I didn't think I thought thinks just winning one game if that. But I think, like we all say, playoff is a totally different season and when your best like that's when the veterans really come out. Unfortunately, um, and that's when they really start the ball. Um. But you know what was my saying about your homeboy over there, Jared? Who oh? Alan Jared Allen? I
think Jared non fact, he's a he's a role factor. I'm not even ye Davidson shut what about about? What about Anthony Davis is shutting? You're talking about j J from Memphis? Right? No, Oh, I thought he was talking about I thought he was talking about JJ's been a non factor, but a Jared, are you talking abou Jared Allen in Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah, no, Cleland Cleveland. I'm sorry, that's six boy. That ain't my boy. Remember he was a big no no no, no,
no, no no bro. If you're gonna say it, so right, I co sign him not to beat who look looking now starting I'm okay. So I was just listening to some of our old episodes. You're doing that while we're recording. That's cool. This one was NBA Stimulus Checks. But I was looking for our episode from last week because all of our predictions
are just terrible right now, they're terrible. I mean, we had the Bucks either winning in five or sweeping well this well, I'll say this, A lot of this stuff is due to injuries like yan is being heard. Can I ask you this, let me ask you both. This is basketball fans who played the sport, who watched it, who talked it shouldn't How serious? Can we take our Bucks? You should be able to beat the eighth seed at Miami Heat with no problem. That's not that's not always the
truth, because clearly, no, clearly, but I'm saying this. Number one, it's only been three games. Number two, um without Yannis on both ends of the court. Makes a difference. We thought it didn't. We thought it didn't. It makes a big difference on both sides of the floor. Who said that first? What do you mean who said that first? You didn't say that first. I didn't say that. None of us
said that. I did say that. When did you say that? You know, he gonna remind us every time he writes, I mean, if you remember, I don't remember that looked at up but but without we were in trouble. That was after we lost some saying though, like he using my words that I use. Yeah, I mean, and I hate, I hate to say that we're in trouble, but we shouldn't be. But we are, don't. I don't think you said we was when we were making our predictions, you said we was in trouble. Then, yeah,
I've been. The point is if Yanni, if here's my thing, here's my thing, if Yannis was playing, we'd be up to one. No, we still be losing. No, we wouldn't because it ain't no way. Because Miami, especially with with without without Yannis, we I mean, I'm sorry, Miami does not have an answer for Yannis. And so when we're used to shooting a lot of threes we're used to shooting. A lot of threes are being opened for a lot of three because you have to double
Yanna. Sometimes you have to make that wall which opens up the corner shots, which opened up people hitting it. But there in the corner they're getting some open shots. They're just not hitting nothing. But here's the thing. They can't in the ocean right now. Yesterday that was game one, game two, and three. We shot really good. From game two, they
shot great. They came right on game three, game thirty shot. Look at the percentages because because I couldn't understand how we lost this game, but we lost that game due to h Duncan having a career night on us in Miami. We shot fifteen for thirty nine and one percentage of that thirty eight percent. What the Miami shoot from from three points forty eight percent. Bobby Portis on game three was four for nine. We shot sixty six percent from
the free throw line. We're shooting horrible right now. Middleton was eight for fourteen who scored twenty three. Brook Lowpass was three for nine and scored six. Jay Holiday Drew Holliday was eight for eighteen. He scored nineteen. Grayson Allen was five for ten. He scored fourteen. Jay Crowder was two for four and scored five. Boat Champ doesn't matter. The rest of the bench
doesn't matter. Gordon Drogic scored two points. He was over four, Javon Carter was over two, Pat Connington was three for eight, and Joe Ingles was two for seven. So the Bucks have created a live by the three mentality. We always been thirty eight for eighty five. Yesterday, I'm eighty eight for eighty five. That's forty percent. I'm for coach Budd to figure out another strategy because part of his strategy is shooting until it goes in.
Let's not shoot until it goes in. My thing about this is this, and I hate to beat this. I don't say I hate to be out fine, I'll die on this hill. And like I said before, y'all being on both sides of the floor defensively and offensively, it hurts. And that's what we're looking at right now. We can we take Miami to seven and beat them? Probably, yes, I thought we could take a Boston to seven to beat them. I don't think we're gonna lose this series because
we are a number one ced for a reason. Yeah. Plus we have home court, so I don't think we'll lose this series. Yeah. But my thing is the shooting, to me was not necessarily the problem. I think it was more of a defensive thing. Because Butler has seventeen in the first quarter. Duncan had twenty. He shouldn't be able and he planned just because Tyler hero hurt, so he shouldn't even have You should have had six.
But you can tell when it came in hitting some big shots. Yeah, we can tell our defensive like one of those like when they were coming off the screen, they were like just shooting over the screener. I'm like, that's not how we hold defense here in Milwaukee. So what's going on here? But I mean for us to be one of the best defensive teams, we're looking like one of the worst. But I told you what it was. The problem is if Bud doesn't make adjustments, the bucks are done.
What are just can you make muchbody shooting like this? It's not a last if you shooting fifty percent from three point rains. It's like the ball adjustment, you know, the problems take the ball in where you gotta stop going. Everybody got to stop going under the screens and chase the shooters. That's the defensive issue, right, force them in the Brook, make Brook, make them make bad choice. Broke. As as much as we all know Brooke, inside game is not his special team, we know it.
We've been we've been knowing it. Seven foot is not bad in the inside. Bro He's it's not He's not bad. He's got special. That's not his special. So you get Broke, you get that's why so many shots if you give Brooke the ball inside the paint three out of five times talking about Brooke, though he just he mentioned Brook. No, I said, chase the shooters. I get that. Listen his shoe. Take the shooters off the chase them off the line. You letting them shoot. I would
rather take that changes of him getting the two than getting the three. I get that. I literally watched. I literally watched Jimmy Butler put to three point line and drews like you got it, like dare him shooting? He made it all three times he did like three times in the row. Well, not only that, Miami Heat is developing a young star in Max Struss. He came in. You're saying who, but he's been lighting the Bucks up every game. This is what I'll say about getting some tough shot.
Yes he does. This is what I'll said about the Bucks right now. I am not concerned, but I'm nervous because here's the thing. Bucks in six shouldn't be an anthem for the first round out of the playoffs. It should be an anthem for the chance. But he said someone I seen that on Twitter and say say the same thing. Bucks and six wasn't men for the first round, right, you just should have been a sweet or a five gamer, which is now hopefully six, hopefully six. Because the Bucks
are down two games to one. They play in Miami tomorrow night for game four. F Miami wins, what is that one, then we come back here Wednesday. We better win. Well, Yanni's gonna play a game one. He gonna play Monday and unless he is in a horrible shape. But here's my thing. The Milwaukee Bucks is an organization should be ashamed of themselves because you shouldn't need Yannis to beat the AFEC Miami Heat, who are barely
a C. I might add barely. So here's the thing. Here's the thing, and I don't want to We sat here and kind of You know, we can talk crazy about the heat because they ac and they are we are supposed to talk crazy about that because they seed. But they beat us before with the Lord c too, thank you the Year of the Bubble. Yeah, yeah, we were what number one, seeds were number one, they were eight eight and they beat us, and they beat us because playoff
Jimmy don't play, and it's a real thing. And Jimmy Butler actually went down and came back. We didn't play, but he came back to watch, came back to watch. I don't know if he's gonna play in his game, Uncle Jimmy, Jimmy Bawler. Yeah, Jimmy buckets is a real thing, especially the playoffs. And I'm wondering if this is Jimmy auditioning for his next dance. Jimmy gonna be Jimmy. But the question is, we can't let Duncan be Duncan, who had Lowry, Lowry ain't had a good
game all season Lowry b Lowry and Bam B Bam. You can't have all four of them being who they are because then everybody the Brook Lopez is playing off too much on Bam and he's hitting the mid range jump shots in this and they opened shots just like they're giving Jimmy Butler open shots. Like when did we ever get players open shots all season? Yeah, not only the playoffs. You want to get people open shots because you think it ain't gonna
make it. They're probably gonna make it a lot more often now than they do doing the Brook the season, because one, they played in the play in and they in the rhythm better than we are right now, and they ain't got nothing to lose. And the thing about it is like Jimmy does set the tone, he sets the stone, and if Jimmy can get going, that opens up there for everybody else because now Jimmy going in with like two or three people and he bringing like two or three people with him,
So those Max Straw or whoever he was, he opened Max Stross. Well, And here's the thing I was gonna say, the Kesey's point, Brooke got Bamn looking like a superstar. Yeah, superstar depends on who you're talking to. The BAM is a superstar. But Brook baby in Bam. He Brooks should be blocking his shots. Brooks should have twenty and ten. Brook had six points last night. The before that, he didn't even hit high double digits or that game needed Game one, he was a non factor the
Bucks. My worry is, and it goes back to our talks here, the Milwaukee Bucks are only as good as Yanniskkumba. Well we've been seen that since day won though, even when we won our championship, and that's unfortunate. And that's unfortunate because there is a chance that he may not play the next game. So what do you think about christians performance? Middleton got twenty three. He wasn't great, but that was our high high score. So
that was our high score. But when your superstar is out, you need Middleton to score thirty, you need Holiday to score twenty five, you need Brooke to at least put up twenty. Someone has to make up for the twenty to forty point loss of not having Yannis in the game, and no one on the Bucks is doing that right now, at least in the last game. I think it's bud if you ask me, I don't think it's the Bucks. I think gets Budded but not making shooting because I'm gonna tell
you one thing that he's making a big mistake on. He's subbing like every two minutes. Every two minutes, somebody else difference coming in because I'm looking for someone to spark something. But you can't get in the rhythm if you don't understand in every time you turn around this Grayson is pat. Yeah, I mean somebody got to stay in and catch a rhythm. That's true. I know what I mean. I see what you're saying. But I'm not forna. Not just Chris. Chris stand in long minutes, Drew stand in
long minutes because they're tricking. They have to. They tricking, they have they can afford it. I'm sorry they have that that privilege to trick like I can. Like what's his name, Drew Holliday started the game off hot and then he went out. But look how look how the game to win when you keep them in there with they're playing and they get shape rhythm. Look how Pat was hidden shot, Look how Joe was hidden shots. Yeah, you can't keep subbing them in and out and they're gonna catch a rhythm
they not. Yeah, give m jan people miss shots. Bud is getting funcked. He he's getting what do you call it, um? Not frustrated, he's content, he's um. He's getting impatient what they line ups? Okay, you know what I mean. He actually had a little bit more patience and things will work itself out like he did all season when we was winning good games. You have patience, m hm. I just know the things come to those who patiently wait. Yeah something, But they also they
come they can turn around real quick, yeah they can. And I don't think patience is on the butt as No, it's it's it's not on bud side now, definitely not. I just Jay Crowder is in two minutes at a time and he's right back out. Of course he ain't gonn hit no shots. Yeah, I'm not, man. I guess some people, some players can shoot themselves out of that stuff, like like you said, But he has to have confidence and everybody else like he has confidence and Drew.
Those those guys earned that. Those are NBA players. They have earned it. Two. No, they haven't. Pat has hit shots all years. Gras has been hidden shots all year. They had his shots all year. But if they are dry, they are dry. So middle Tickets shoot his way out. Drew can shoot his way out. They've proven that. But these two guys you're talking about that, not only are they a defensive liability. They if they're not shooting liability. So Grayson is a big defensive liability.
So is Pat Pat Pat. No, the only thing works were works works in pat favor is he's six eight sixty seven. With Grayson, I think he's six six six five six seven. He's a defensive liability. Jimmy go to work. Oh oh, but but but I was gonna say here, here he get it to Drew when Drew left him open for three here, here's the other thing to that. Here, No, he was back
and Drew up and shooting over him too. Here's why it shouldn't be that hard for the Bucks because Miami is running small ball outside of ball, and the Bucks flying up is kind of small outside of Brook right a little bit, and you should be playing more of a matchup game. And when I see when I see the Bucks, Jimmy's open, Max is open, Duncan, Robinson is open, Bam is in the middle with Brooke missing defensive assignments. So a little bit of this is own Bud, But Buds not out
there breaking shots, shooting air balls. But if you get your peop, you put your players in a position to be successful. They have no choice, but to be successful in his shots. You can't keep doing what you've been doing. That's what got us beat against Miami the last time they beat us, right, yeah, it was the way these games are going to zac same way we got beat that year. Bud is still sticking to what he believes, what did he thinking is right, instead of make an adjustments
to what the game tempo is. It's good point. Come on, man, go back and look at the tapes. I'm looking at the tapes. I've seen the tapes. I see what you're saying. I just we're losing the same way we lost when we were the one seat. The last sign we were losing the same way. No, here's the thing, though, that's a big thing. Now we lose with Yannis on the floor, and then I'd be like, I'm more to like, okay, but we should be able to beat them without Yannis. Unfortunately, I don't think we are
good enough. But we can beat them without Yannis, I don't think. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Look at it like this. I'm gonna tell you just like this, and we're gonna end that. What Middleton and and and Jimmy crossed each other out right with their stats, right, Oh Middleton and Jimmy right, per se, But go ahead, Brook and Bam. Who should be winning that matchup? Bam, Brook Brook Brook,
Bam, you're crazy. Bam is more skilled than Brooke. Who should be winning that matchup between whoever that little guard is they starting over Lowry and Drew. I forgot that, no because I got chief. I don't know it's somebody off the boat. Yeah, but either way it go. Drew should be winning that match up, right, even if even if it's that match up real quick, real quick, real quick. Uh, Jimmy has been been well we all know Drew hold the best guard, which is Jimmy,
So he's been holding Jimmy. Uh he's taller than jim He's Jimmy's taller than him, so he's kind of been giving him, like going inside on him. Yeah, somebody fresh off the boat. So so, uh so when you talk about um canceling each other out, Jimmy, it's score wise you right, Jimmy canceled uh Middleton out. Now you said Brooks should win that matchup against him in Bam agreed, Yeah, so what the season Brooke had, he should be killing that. He's a finalist for Defensive Player of the
Year and Bobby, Bobby should be killing his matchup. Come on, man, I think they got in Bobby head a little bit. Though he's not playing great. He's playing game two. He did good Game one. In three, the Bucks were just bad. So Bobby doesn't do well in the start lineup, if you ask me, he does better coming off the bench and giving us that spark off the bench and a few buckets off the bench. They have to figure out how to win without Yannis on the floor.
We we have one with y'all, Yannas on the floor. We haven't one game two. Game two, yeah, when we shot and made. But like I said, it's easy to win one game. But here my question when the series is tough. So here's my question for you. What is because I know what is for to you? What is the Buck strategy? Because to me, the Bucks strategy is this is a little bit of Yanna drives pulls in the defense, he kicks it out. He has been doing
that better as the season that's going by, as he's grown. So Bobby Lopez a little bit of Drew. They these guys, I'll say a little bit of Drew. I say Brooke, Bobby pat these guys necessarily don't create that Grayson, these guys un necessarily create their shot often. I'm not saying they don't do it at all, but they don't do it often. It's three people who can create their own shot. Middleton, Jannis, a little
bit of Drew. Drew has a he doesn't have a height advantage, so when he gets in that pain, they just you know, they just kind of tower over him. But though, but that too. But those two guys are you know, they can create their own shot. So these other guys who were used to hitting shots, they're usually open. They're getting a good look. But also you gotta remember, we gotta play. We got to replace thirty one points, eleven, twelve rebounds maybe sometimes fifteen, you
know, twelve to fifteen rebounds a game and six assists a game. Who's going to pick up that slot? That's a lot to pick up. It is if you don't make the right adjustments. It's a collabative effort. Yeah, So Game four US tomorrow, UH will hopefully Yannest plays right now, he is still very questionable. He's very questionable, and be honest with you, as much as I want him to play. I want them to make the right basketball move. And the right basketball move is if he's hurt,
don't put him in. Don't put him in because he's gonna get further hurt. If we lose three one, we still got one more game, and it's going back to Milwaukee twice, and I don't think they can. They're gonna be this at home. I don't think that I've been proving wrong. But we'll see what happened. It's worth the gamble. It's worth the gamble to lose ye because you number one seed, you number one seed and I don't I don't even think. And your best player doesn't play and you lose
first round, that's okay. That's not okay. I'm saying, is this if you honest, is hurt hurt? I'm saying, if he's hurt, hurt. Like to me, yesterday when the Lakers played Memphis, them first five minutes, Marant looked at like he should not be out there. He looked like he should not. Now he got together, I wonder if he's gonna play tomorrow though, yeah, probably too. Yeah, they probably game an injection. But I'm saying, at the first five minutes He's like,
he shouldnt even be honest because he couldn't pawn the basketball. He couldn't question what I'm saying. He couldn't even and your back hurting. No, No, he hurt as bad as he was hurt with that hand. There's no way he's shooting the way he should because I've had hand injuries. There's no way. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They got some good bastball. I'll tell you got the best that money could buy. But um, I wanted to go in the Bucks talk at the end of the game, at the
end of the show, but we were here. Um, the athlete athletic, I'm sorry. And the Athletic did an anonymous Paul among NBA players, asking questions that fans wanted, that fans want to know. Are they asking one hundred and eight players for in the last three weeks of the season. Um, what I want to do is ask these questions to you guys, like what do you think? And then I'll tell you what they made. What their answer was, best defender in the NBA, yannisc best defender in
the NBA? To you, who is the best defender in NBA. I'll ask that question. Oh, be honest, Um, what do you think the players said? Do you think the players said you honest? Um? Holiday? Did the players say Holiday? They did? Did day? That's what's up? That's what's up. I was, I was kind of I was. I was surprised. I wasn't surprised by that because I feel like I feel like, uh Holiday doesn't get his just due by the media. Nope, but players recognize Yah drew me tonight. All right, let's find
let's do this. Um, if you were building a roster from scratch, who are you first? Who are you signing first? So? Who are you being in your roster? Around? Honest? Right now? Off the league right now? Yan Joker? Mm hmmm. Who do you think the NBA said, I mean players, What do you think the players vote was? Fox? Be honest? Do you think the player's vote was fox? Lebron James? Uh? The players probably voted uh steph Actually it was Actually
it was Lebron James. Really you kidding me? No? Ahead, like you can't know LA gives it, can't do you can't do it? We up, they said, Lebron? Okay, we up? We up one? What's up? We up? Three? Up? One? Relax, Relax, we won last night was already two one game three two one Black. It'll be three one tomorrow though, No won't um who was the most who was the most overrated player in the NBA? To you, Luca, Luca you said, you said, Luca, I said, Luke to me. To me, it's hym Green, yep. And we know who the
players voted. Yep. I can see it. He's really people don't like him him. So I read the article. I read the article. They saying for the for the position that he's put in, And as much as people talk about him overrated, he's not like he doesn't like because people compare him to a young Steph, And I think when Steph steps on the court, it's a different feeling. Like we had an episode about fear. Steph doesn't necessarily fear makes people scared, but you have to know where he's at
the court. I've never once said, man, we got to get to the Fisher problem to see Treya. I've never said it. I've never once said we need to I've said it to Steff, I've said it to Luca. Now. It's not like I'm rushing to see him. But there are players that you like. I gotta see him live, Steph being one Luca,
but any other joker jah game. You know what I'm saying, These are players you want to see k D. I've never heard anyone say, Drey, let me get your Hawks tickets because I want no you know what I heard all the others After they beat the Knicks, though, I was like, and then the last two years I've had people. I've had people say to me, let me get your Knicks tickets. I want to go see Rando. Yeah, or that's my brother brother in law's or my brother's
favorite team. But no one has ever once said, man, let me get the let me go to the Hawks game. Because Trey balling out Trey Young in the worst a KISSI is a pump bro. He comes off as a pump off. He talks so much trash he can't bag it up. But he can be a bucket. He can be a bucket. But Atlanta's goes nowhere trades it's his last year with the Hawks and enjoy wailah last. I think they'll give it another run. I think they'll trade. Who's the
most underrated player in the NBA. Un underratrated player in the NBA M according to us Lebron James H. Russell Westbrook number one. Are you serious? How are you serious? I don't know you're serious. Russell Westbrook underrated, I think for I think the way people be riding him and treating him he has been, I think he's underrated. I think he is still very as we see in these playoffs, he is very much still a contributor to a
basketball too. Bro. His numbers, his numbers are fantastics, thirty eight. He had thirty eight points yesterday they lost. It was only him, just him, so oh so now it's so. But when it's the Lakers, Lebron and he did the same name one Lebron. Yeah he did go back and look. Yeah, he don't jail. You know what's funny, It's funny the Lakers they clipped his wings and he knew it. He said
it, they clip my wings, clippers. Let me ride choice, now ride let him ride him him, let me because he was by hisself. Mother, when he came up by himself, I'm saying they clipped his wings. When they talking about how they how they manage him, how they coach, he didn't let him do whatever he wanted to do, and all he did was trick shots, hit side of the backboard, trying to do bank shots. So he wanted the hall and losing the ball, So why not
the Gers he was doing the same thing. He just shot three for twenty one. That was the regular season, no, first game of the playoffs and won the game. They won since thing he'd been balling. They won. Yeah, because Gauha been out, Paul George is out. They don't have anybody else to shoot the ball. Let me tell you this. Westbrook is a good individual player, no hands down, I can't. Nobody can deny him of that. But as far as fit and then with an eighteen
of other stars, it's hard. You need to be Westbrook. Westbrook, Westbrook, why do you think about? Think about think about the thunder When he was there, it was good, right everybody, But why did everybody leave? Because Westbrook is a jerk? Because KD could win it by himself. Because guess what they were up three one when the game was on the line. Guess who thought they should have had the ball. Who should have had the ball at the end of the game. James Harden, James Harden
and KAD at the same time. Who should have had the ball? In their hands at that time. James Hardwin, James Harden back, he was, Yes, he was. James Harden was balling, he was he was the best six James Harden's arguably was the best sixth man ever. He was. What give me one better? Give me one better than James Harden is a sixth man? Okase? Oh? Wingstop blue and Jamal Crawford Absolutely not
Wing lou Absolutely louis number one only because he's won in multiple times. So you're telling me Wing Lou taking Wing Lou and his prime over six minute of the year, James Hardening his pride. Yeah, we talk about okay, s okay, c James hard not not not here talking about okay, talking about oh so, so what do you think Lou was? And Louke did it for twenty years and then on top of that, this, on this, on top of walking and lou become that he had to become that James
Harden. The reason he left, Okay, they didn't want to pay him, no, because they knew he was a superstar and they couldn't pay all three the time. They didn't want to pay him. They didn't have enough money. It wasn't that they didn't want to pay him. They didn't have an They had already they had already signed him bo and they already paid Russ.
Yeah, they paid because everybody, because everybody thought crazy because they thought Russ was the franchise James hardened with Okase arguably one of the greatest six men of all time. Russ Brook was the to the fanchise at the time. Who did they pick? Drew Holliday, I'll see that dude, Holiday man. They but they say the NBA that he's one of the most respected and liked players. If you notice, if Holiday file someone hard, they don't get up and run at him because Drew, they get up and it really
happens. It really happens. I'm saying, Yeah, Holliday's well respected, he's well like, well respect that everybody. Ye, what's the next one? They add? Um, that was it. But those those were like the five questions, four or five questions that I wanted to kind of get out there. I mean, the other questions were, UM, like, if you were who would you like most likely like to play with as fur as a coach? What I was like, what coach would you like to
play for? UM? For me inside your own I wouldn't want to play for bud Um. For me, I like um Rick Carlisle. I like Rick Carlisle, but I also like um um um Nia Long's husband, um oh um Yep. I like him. And right now it seems like Sacramento is playing good basketball. Probably have to say, Mike Brown, they got some other questions on here. They do got some other questions on here. I said the ones I was feeling, you should. You should at least
added one more go ahead? Which one key? So the script that question, who in the league would you least like the fight? Was that a question? Was that a question? It's a question at least like the fight? Come on, man, while you add that one? Man, really add that one? Because who they pick you would even never even think of this person? Man, yeah you will if you said he won't, Oh, he probably wouldn't. But I know who it was. I know why they picked him. I know they picked him too. Was a joker.
It was somebody who really barely in the NBA right now. He in the NBA, he barely, but he don't get a lot of tick. Who's play. He played for Indiana, That's what he played for. Now. He don't even get no minutes. He played in Miami. I'm sick of your dods. He played in Miami. He got braids. He plays for Miami. He did last Miami. Last year he did. He's in Indiana right now, go ahead, just dropped his name, James Johnson. He still plays exactly. He's in Indiana. James Who James john he was getting
he was getting clock and what wasn't called? You know why? Why is a black belt? Yeah? I'm saying, is it is he the player that's considered a lethough his hands are the weapon if he hit somebody going to jail? Yep ye, So let me ask you guess whose number two was? Was that? What do you think? Come on man? Yes,
no Joker? Why do you keep saying the Joker? Because Joker's brothers be at the game ready to scribe Joker's brothers, Java Carter, No, no i he plays for Memphis Brooks. No, I say they probably jump ill. No, he's least intimidating to Lebron. Nobody poking bears, whereas a palm and the stone coat Steve Boston best get a straight iron. Well see what he had to say last game? He did? Steven Adams, Oh yeah, people respect him too, Steven Adams beast. You see, he
picked, he picked people up and moved him away from fights. So as we're rapping, let me ask y'all, this man, is there anything any prediction you want to go back on thinking about what you predicted last week? Number one? I wouldn't go. I knew he was gonna bring that question up. I decided not to bring that question up for this exact same reason. Well, thank you, because like Dance Dance stick, what you pick,
you can sit with your pick. But if you pick Brooklyn and they're long no longer in it and for teams down three one, I'm not saying, oh wow, we bet it. I'm you're not gonna pay your debt. But I'm saying, is there any after watching these games, is there anything you want to change? No? I think we were all wrong about Cleveland, and that's fine. I don't think a lot of people had in New York Philly going up three one. I don't think we were wrong about
Philly because we all have Philly winning the series. But I don't think we expected a sweep. Yeah. I think that um, and that's why I posed a question like Philadelphia. I don't see them sweeping, and I could, I could gratulate them because they didn't want to play with their food. It was like hey, Doc Rivers, like hey, wrap this up, wrap this up. And then on top of that, the way inb was acting in Game three, I was like, beat these clowns so we can
get them about of here. Um And I will say this, I'm rooting for the Bucks like I'm rooming for the Knicks. Because we play the Knicks, we shouldn't have any issues. Yeah. What's the storyline of the week for you watching the NBA this week? What is the going into next week, going the next week? What is the most important thing that has to happen this week? The next winner? I think the Knicks. They say they say l A winning is good for basketball, The Knicks winning is great
for basketball. Yeah, just because where it's at. What's the storyline of this week for you? What has to happen this week in the NBA in terms of the playoffs? Literally, folks gotta shoot better. The Knicks. They just gotta keep their foot on the gas pedal. Yeah, they they The Knicks is looking good man, they are brusson. Dude, How didn't I know he was good. But that damn boy is good. Yeah,
he's that guy. He's that dude. Man. Every time I watched that man, every time I seen him shoot the ball, I'm night just cash money. And it was just hitting bottoms. It wasn't like no like hit the back of the rim or nothing. Man, it was just bottoms. Yep. For me, it's obviously the Bucks, but it's also Sacramento, man. Sacramento has to come out and make a statement and beat Golden State on Golden State's home court and in this and six because they have a chance.
Like, obviously I like Golden State to win it, but Sacramento has a chance, but they gotta win at home and they gotta put a golden stay the way in game six because if it goes seven, that championship pedigree that we like to talk about. Also, the Lakers got to keep their foot on Memphis neck too. They can't to let oh man, they destroyed them last night. The score, although they made a run in the four, the Lakers was, it wasn't a close game at all at all.
Lakers are defensively great, dude, They're getting better. They're great on defense, They're great offensively. It's in questions. Sometimes you'd be like, man, what are y'all doing? Why would you even do that? But defensively, come on, man, we can't say great, they're good. They are one of the high I know this. This is about this is what I do. No, that's what I do. Um for the Lakers player I've ever seen in my life. Bro, I've been giving the Lakers love.
What do you mean I'm talking about him? Especially him? He said you didn't let me, didn't let me say. What's gonna say? I said, the Lakers are doing great old defense. He go, my friend does Man, they're doing great on defense. Vanderbilt is doing his job. Man, shout out the Vanderbilt man, Lakers. Man. I do know this. If King James, if Memphis losing this series, you need to take a hard look at this whole roster, a hard look. Now. I will say I will say this, they should. I will say this,
Memphis is missing a key ingredient in their roster. Adams, he's a key ingredient. He may not have thirteen rebounds, he might he might score a single digit points, but him being strong and having given Anthony David some issues or giving getting like fifteen boards a ten rebounds offensively, it helps, it helps, and another thing, real quick, if Sacramento let Golden State beat them again, I won't say we need to look at the roster, but I'll chuck that up to youth. But I expect them to be a
reckon with in the West. Yea. Well, when Golden State wins, this shouldn't be a once in a No, they'll be back. The Sacramento Kings have found their winning ways, but at the end of the day, experienced trumps and it does. It does, it really does. So we'll see, man, But Sacramento needs to get it done this week. But more importantly, our bucks. When we record next Sunday or Saturday or whenever we're doing it, the buck, we need to be talking about the Bucks
putting the way to Miami heat A definitely not a game set. Well, yeah, this has been another episode of the ninety four fee podcasts.
