to beast alternative. Right, Let's just get to it. Let's get to let's get injury. Oh we have one. I got I got it. Joannis is out. Uh. He's being listened as two to four weeks with a strained calf, hoping that he could at least come back for the second round if the Bucks make it. Kawhi Leonard sat out game one now that the Clippers needing them because he is. The Clippers are dominating Dallas right now
currently. I also believe, as my script is coming up, what's the name set out as well, Anthony Davis went down yesterday, but he stayed in the game. He stayed in the game. Uh. And those are the injuries. Oh and one more uh that that was missed here is Jimmy Butler also missed game one and he is potentially out for the series as well.
So some some key injuries happening right now in the playoffs. And unfortunately, all three of those players that we listed injured, with the exception of Kawhi, are going to be critical for any type of deep playoff run for the too, at least to get out the first round. And then also Grayson was hurt yesterday during his game versus uh the Minnesota timber Wolves. Shout out to Oh yeah, shout out to Quilo man. I never knew your real name, bro. We appreciate you listening. Man. All right,

You got a screen protector, No, I just got it. Screen protector, a screen protector and the case. Let's go ahead, I mean, while we're here, go ahead, welcome Keasey to the I Club. Yeah, which is you know? Hold up there? No ill could you
understand? And Joyce are the worst? Low key? They their better phones and iPhone but but they don't look better. Toyota is better than the beans. But I'm still copping that bans anyways, So Grayson Allen, speaking of g Allens, Grayson Allen spending their money on something they can't afford. Gray say Allen gets he got a seventy million dollar extension with the Phoenix Suns. Another Bucks player who's getting their money without our team and low key thriving.
I just wanted to give him a little quick shout out and then moving on. Blake Griffin has officially retired from the NBA after thirteen seasons, uh, six All Star appearances and five All NBA selections. Hall of Famer now see, yeah, I'm probably have to say here we go again with what'stern Hall of Fame criteria other than some explosive dunks in the dunk contest. What has Blake Griffin done for the game of basketball? I just told you he started.
He started Live City for a couple of seasons. He was a part of Love City. He was injured a lot, never won a title, never was the man, and he wasn't. Chris Paul was the man. Okay, Blake and DeAndre together were the Twin Towers. But it didn't watch anything. My my, my opinion, Blake is not a Hall of Famer. I vote no Hall of Famer. Ye be on the cussed, but he kind of out no because it's tough. He did change the game a
little bit. How was he changed changed the game because he was like that high flower high flying power forwards went a round like that before he came around. It was they had turned around Jo outside of Sean camp Durant. That's not power forwards. That's a bad example. I don't want to say high flowing power forces. I'm saying Blake gripping was athletic, which is a lot of people. They come into the NBA now, but like back then,
he can't do this is this wasn't that. They're not power forwards. Those are small force and two guards. But athletic is athletic, right athletic? That freak athletic. I don't know about freaking. I mean what could jump? Yeah, he could contest winner. I mean you obviously have to be a no little people. Yeah, he jumps over the Okay, it was it was a long way, it was vertical. All these things. You're saying, you can't even jump on the hood, and you're trying to say
that, listen, don't do that, don't do that. I'm forty. I know what I should do. But now I never heard you say turn Okay when you had an edge on that table, I would I would have turned the android on. I would have this on YouTube. I would have told them turn the motor roller. I would have turned the flip on the jump on top of that table. But to get back to it, man Blake was athletic, but the game of basketball didn't change because of him.
It did not. It did not. I'm saying, I'm you're asking me, No, I don't think he's I don't think he's I don't think he's uh So is he in the same caliber as mar If? I have to ask you a question. If I pick one sin A Mauri the nod before Blake. Yeah, I will, Yeah, I am. I'm giving neither one of them. I'm giving if it came down to those two when you had the back one between picking am twice on the only reason I'm picking a ma because he's He's went further into the playoffs. That's the only reason.
Amari Amari was a killer until he got hurt. Blake was never a killer. Blake was a regular double double player on a stacked team. Come on, see, he wasn't a killer. People wasn't afraid to play Blake. People had some a little fear in them to play Amari. Amari could could get you in the clutch, he could get you in the zone. He blocked your shot. He'll put you on a poster. Blake didn't play no defense at all. Come on, man, you gotta go back and watch
those takes. Amari was a killer him Sorr. Amari had a really good run with Phoenix. He had a really good run with New York. But both those times he had good teammates. He was never what you think had good teammates. To what I'm saying is, if you really talk about do you think the only thing that stopped Blake. The only thing that stopped Blake Griffin from getting more success, necessarily in the playoffs was Golden State. And
then he uh no, it was Golden State. So tell me this, how do you think Steve Nash got his m v P. What do you mean do you think? Yeah, of course I started. Of course, Sorry, the league in assists he was because of who itself, because of who he led the league and assists because of who in the pick and roll
started. And you gotta remember the year of the year. Hold on the year Steve Nash won m v P. Kobe Bryant and Lebron James had better numbers than than him, and they both came the second and third to him. Like I said, Amari started Meyer had We're not talking about the highlights and what he did and stuff like that. You said, Blake Griffin didn't do nothing for the game. What did Blair? What did Amari starting doing?
That wasn't a point the question. No, wait a minute, you said, what amar start of my has a Mario start of a done for the game. But we didn't put Amari in the Hall of Fame. You said, if you had to pick one, which one would you pick, And that's what who we picked. We didn't say Amari did anything for the game, but make no mistakes about it, for a lot of years, Amari was the number one power forward in the game. No one ever said
that about Blake. No one ever said Blake was the number one power forward. I know, I'm not going to sit here. I'm not going to sit here. I'm not going to hold up Amari let the league in rebounds. Amari wanted Defensive Player of the Year or he was a he was a finalist for it. He was a finalist for it. Come on, got go again again. We're talking about statistically, these guys have pretty much even careers, they didn't do nothing. I'm sorry what they didn't do nothing even
careers even Oh my god, what you drinking on there? There was a point in time when Blake Griffin was averaging twenty five. There was a point in time where's averaging twenty two. Yeah, so okay, So what is your point when you say that, because they have to get the ball pass to them, and these two guys that had lead pastors next to them. So but we're talking about these these people, we're talking about my start of mind from from twenty you talking about, I'm talking about Who's If I have
to pick between the two, I'm picking a Mari. I'm I'm going with slightly. I'm going with tomorrow Amari slightly. But I'm not saying he is. If I had to pick, if there's a third option there that neither one gets in, neither one gets in. Even at the end of his career, he did better than Blake and neither one gets in, that's cool. But if I'm picking to be between him and Blake, I'm picking them. Yeah, if you have to pick between the two, I'm picking them.
Even in his last season, a Mario averaged fourteen points and nine rebounds the game. In his last season, Blake was on what five six teams between the last three seasons? Was it three? Was it three? Was it really? Boston Detroit, Boston Detroit, and Detroit? Boston, Detroit, Detroit. He took him to the playoffs. He literally took them to the playoffs. Okay, give go ahead and give Blake that credit. I'm just saying, like Blake is not a Hall of Famer. Next topic,
Hey, hey, neither one of them got a championship. That's what I'm saying neither one of them really did anything to be like season. I'm aloy got fourteen seasons, Blake was in the playoff ten times, in the playoffs ten times. What was Blake's All Stars? What was Blake's last year stats? What did that last year's NBA First Team? Blake zero, Amari one? One? Oh? What r NBA first team? Our first team? Okay? They both averaged nineteen. They both averaged a rebounds equal. It
was pretty close. Amari had more blocks by a lot, one point two to zero point five. Okay. Mario was like sixteen, Blake was sixty eight. Amaro got more points, more total rebounds. Amari would go ahead. Amari was on. How many second teams did Blake have? Amari had four All NBA second teams. Amari was the rookie of the year. Mari had a thousand Korea blocks. Blake Griffin got three hundred blocks. Amari got his number retired All Rookie first Team MVP of the Israelly Basketball League? What
m VP of the Israeli Basketball League? The best season? Mario average twenty six, Let's move Lake average twenty four. Let's move on. He's just throwing stats up there, don't stop the Mario. Hey man, hey, I'm just saying these are pretty much equal careers here besides the blocks. Okay, so this year Olympic, Uh, the Olympic basketball team has been selected.
It's been set. I'm sorry, Uh, Lebron, James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis, Tarese hallibert, Uh, Devin Booker, Joel embi Jason Tato finished that man's name Halla, Burton, Aliber Hey, hey, hey, who are you playing today? The Bucks? No respect? Okay, Jason Tatum, that's Drew Holliday and then bam and then last bye went to Kawhi Leonard. Obvious question, is this team better than the Dream Team? No? No, that team sounds very
injured and old. This team you think the Dream Team was the Dream Team? They weren't know they weren't. The only ones were magic were Magic and Bird. That's it. That's it, that's it. The only one that's old as Lebron and Bron is old, Stephan is old. KD is old by NBA standards, Anthony Davis is old by Indian NBA before Joel embiid is injured. Before you go into that. You see what happened with the young team, So let's not let's not do that game we obviously need. Joel
Embiid is injured. He's injured, he's injury walking player Drew Holliday is old, is injured. Come on, bro, They're not better than the dream Team. There are a team that's gonna win the goal easily. They'll win the goal, know easily, but they'll win the goal. But they're not better than the Dreams even with the claw the claw? Is he gonna show up? Is Joelle gonna be there? This his first time and being in the Yeah, but his knees right now are the person in the room that
nobody wants to dance with. Bro. Think they come to make a statement this year? Think so? Oh they have to. That's why they as simpled this super team because of what happened. What in Feba right when he got the silver or the brine? Is? Uh? Is this is this? Uh? Is Kyrie Irvin get snubbed? There is no way that the NBA was gonna put Kyrie Irvin on the USA basketball team just for him to turn it down? What you mean turn it down? He want to turn
it down, he would have a Colin Kaepernick moment. Yeah, Wood, as long as the United States you have, as long as the United States keeps standing for genocide. When the United States doesn't do this, there's no way that Kyrie Irvan would have accepted an invitation. Kyrie has come back player of the Year p R level Who Kyrie? Whenever? When have you heard anything from heard nothing all your year? Not all year? But he there are players that years. Don't give him that much Kyrie Brooklyn. Have you
heard anything from Kyrie? Got that money? Got that money? But have you heard walking off into his apartment from the stadium giving out bags of money? He did get snubbed. I don't think hands down, he got snubbed. Who would who? Who would you have replaced him for as a guard? Wise? No, is this the Indiana thing? No? No, No, As the best offensive player on the team is Holiday, So you can't you can't snub Holiday, right, I said, no, Come on?
So overrated dude. He's decent, but he's overrated. He's not a superstar for everybody to be riding boss like for Indiana. He is a superstar for Indiana. No, I think none will if he were gonna find out in the next four games if you give him let's say, let's just say you went to l a same stats even nast here what I don't know about that, bro, because you're playing in the shadows at the end of the day in Indiana and Indiana. Who else is the ball hands in besides him?
We mean as far as like ball handed. I'm saying, like, why he got the stats he got because who else is the ball hand in? Nobody? He's He's a point guard. He's the only person that the ball is in handed. So he gotta have some stats. You put on any other team with some stacked players and he gonna look below average. No, No, I think that if you put him on a team of people who because clear the hold, let's say, okay, let's lost, let's put so what does that tell you? Let's put him? What the what
a young Anthony Edwards? That was killing he was so I don't want to hear that about that. No, No, I don't think overrated. He's a very good player, but he's not the superstar. I think Hallaverton's career in his popularity for me, is that of a the Aaron Fox, because they're both with uh mostly unpopular on TV teams is take. It's not a
bonus take. But what I'm saying that's actually a better example. If you look at Fox and Sabonis there are they've had good runs, they got eliminated, they're not in the playoffs, okay, but you're not gonna pick them over a lot of top players and they're playing with sacri. DeAndre Fox is top five in the league right now. Top five? What to point guard is not? DeAndre is the Aaron Fox whatever, and you're smoking topic. He's not top five, No five point guards better than Kyrie one, Staph
two? Does he classify the point guard? Shooting guard? Sat because of the debates we had about that, thinking about all you're taking him or the low him who from the Lakers. I'm just gonna I'm just a few point guards. Devin Booker, Devin Booker is a shooting guard. Devin Booker runs the point though rap come on tip for top No, they both are shooting guards. They playing the role that don't count though it doesn't count because he's
their maame player. But you'll do you'll do the staff what I'm letting Steph ride with the point guard over Fox over Fox. I'll get that. But that's only two. That was three. That was three. You said, Kyrie, Dame Dame, Steph and Steph. I gotta look at point guard because you're taking or you're taking Luca. I'm taking Luca, believe it or not. That's four, and I am probably taking not before Fox, I am probably taking he's a shooting guard. I'm probably taking Trey Young or Brunson
over Fox. Now that doesn't mean that Fox is that big shot Tray you ate too big shop, don't where's the big big talking about right now? Talme out so so so you're hating on players that don't have teams, but you're not giving Trey a pass being in Atlanta with all them scrubs. That's your favorite line, all them scrubs, Trey don't get a pass. We're playing with all them strucks strubs. I'm saying Trey is way overrated. I
like Fox. Fox is like a five, six or seven. But what I'm saying is when you look at Kyrie, you can't really say I would replace him with anybody because all the players that made that time I have had good season. Here's my thing. Kyrie is still on the he is on another list. My thing is this, he still got snubbs. I would agree, but who would you replace him with? And you're saying Halliburton, who would you replace him with? I'm replacing him with. Uh, I'm
gonna go high let Burton too. Wow? Just because wow, just because number one he was Jamal Murray. Are you taking Fox over? Jamal Murray shoes guard too? Come on, he's listening for a time. He runs points sometimes the guards position he top twenty, he top twenty guards, top twenty guards, maybe top ten people Fox? Yeah, okay, so you're not calling them top five? Then I said point guard. I'm not calling him top five all if you had together, you're pushing them down. It's
what you're saying. If you're talking about shooting guards and point guards, that changes the realm, and that changes you know what these persons, what these people do? They have different sales, skits and and and for your information, according to ESPN, Jamal Murray is a point guard, just for yall to know. And another one we forgot. I'm not taking Fox over Guildris Alexander either. If Fox is a baller, but I'm not taking him over
none of the seven I just name so that moves him to eight. But you're saying Kyrie, if Kyrie had to replace anybody on that team, it would have to be Halli Burton, because he's not better than all those other players. Halla dais the only defensive player on that team. The real win him and Lebron if I could be if I can be honest with myself, you talk about any player, I mean I would to be honest with you.
I mean Lebron and Steph. They're not replaced KD nor kd uh, Anthony Davis, and he can he can be gone, uh big jewel and be man. I leave him in there. I'm actually surprised he's playing for USA. I think he just want to get a medal. But I still believe like Kyrie got snuff once he played for the US. Can he ever go back to play for the what? I think he has dual citizenship, so he can play for either one either young he can. I think he has dual citizenship. Yeah. So, but you know, to be fair,
we know that what the NBA is doing to Kyrie is bogus. Let's just call it what it is. I don't want to say that, well, he's being muzzled and and there are consequences like him not making with the NBA Top seventy five. We know that that was a snub, okay, And then you know what was funny is Kyrie said he wished that it was like the old days where they tried out for the USA team. Well, with that, Kyrie was giving buckets when he tried out. He was even
giving Kobe Kobe. Yeah, there's no doubt Kyrie Irving is one of the best point guards to ever play the game, in my opinion, the best handles of a point guard to ever play the game. But like I tell my students and some adults, man, our actions have consequences. Unfortunately it does. So you're saying, not better than a dream team. No, no, we shall see. I am going though, I am going to
the game. Uh, they're they're the game. They're playing in Vegas against Canada on July eleven, So that's actually gonna kick off Summer League and then Summer League starts on the twelfth, so they'll all be down there anyway. So so I'll let y'all know what it looks like. Thank you, I really appreciate you, know, right, Arizona's gone it is gonna be nice and hot in July too. Man, I've been there, I know I know you will anyways, No, just glad. I'm doing other things.
I have a upset plan for the summer. And I'm said, do you I do the cap? What I didn't say that? He said anyway, sarcasm like sure you playing? Sure? We want to know this, m h. Actually I planned on going to a w n B A game. Uh see the Chicago side and the Chicago sky in the Indiana fever. So you're gonna pay more for that than you with a Bucks playoff game. No,
it's try the same amount. It's like three. But I've never been to a w n B A game, so I want to go so so so you're so your co signing what I said two weeks ago about what Caglin Clark is about to change the game and make that support more market. I see those ticket prices. You aren't changed yours. Here's a stat that you're gonna hate and probably love. Caitlyn Clark has sold more jerseys in one weekend than the Dallas Cowboys did all last season. Fake news? Is it fake
news? Here and listen to this propaganda. Believe that is going down these streets on this podcast with this propagand it's ridiculous. It is that a Jersey a magee. You know, I'm gonna go how Jersey going. I don't follow the sports, so I couldn't tell you. That's why why they're following her hotel because she is the second she is the lady version of Steph Curry, and she's about to put the w n b A on the map bigger than it's ever been in fact, in fact, they are moving her games
to larger arenas and bigger markets. I want to see what that's gonna happen. They already did in Houston. I haven't did it in like others place since God forbid? Because have you ever seen her play? Decent? Man? What shut up? You say? Something of like the Magic Jordan's Bird of the n b A. We actually now got quality women that have followings that we care about, so we want to go see them play because of what they've done in the n C double A. We got plenty of women
that done that. Rebecca Lobo on the level, Leslie, what's the one who wanted coach? What's her name? Stanley Stanley Miller? You got to remember, look at it from the perspective of they love them, everybody you They were at the birth of the w n b AS, then it went down and now I was going back up. We're at that point now where we're watching the kids. And that's why we care about these core women right now, because as long as they keep doing what they were doing the n
C double A, they can get that following that they need. I just feel so basically we're talking about another temporary hype. I don't think it's I don't know, a temporary A temporary, A temporary excitement. I mean, we don't really don't because how long before they get bored with that? Here's the thing people aren't bored of Steph Curry. No, I here's my thing. Here's what I think. I think that I'm not saying she is, but that's what they're calling her fifty two and people will still come to see
him before they come to see her. That's facts. My thing is this, I think that the w n B A you want, the w n B A is pulling it's going to Are you having this problem because she doesn't look like us? Yeah, that's very sexist, it's very sexist. And I know I'm not talking to so you taking sexes. See what you did talk about, I'm talking about race. Are people upset because she's on a
black woman doing this. I'm just curious because I've never seen people more angry and more hyped up from a woman player having an economic impact that I don't have to I don't care about. Bro. Folks are not keysy there. People are. People are upset. People are upset. People are upset because her pay her pay. They're not upset because of her her pay. But the w n b A they don't make no money, so who cares. You can't tell people that they don't know that always it's always gonna be like
that. They're just now hot again right now. So that's why the conversation is coming back. It's just a temporary hype. It's not a temporary hype. I'm always gonna talk about the pay until you can still the seat. So with ticket prices going where they are now, as long as you can continuously keep people in the seats that are willing to pay those ticket prices, then you can get But I was going, I was you know how many
reasons are on Ticketmaster right now? Just think of it like this. It's a temporary hype, right, she gets injured, God forbid she getting injured, though, where's the hype go Then the hype goes with somebody else? Does nobody else? Stars already know what I'm saying that they're not talking about they are. They're not talking about them, but they're talking about her. But they're talking about her. That's what my problem come in. But they're
talking about her for a reason. You call her the greatest basketball I'm not think about who we sat next to. I get it from Loster. Yeah, but my thing is this, she was doing the same things that Caitlyn was ever called the greatest n C double a women's player, bro, And then be honest with you if you champion, and she still doesn't win the championship, but she the greatest, No, but she won. First of all, she did the record, She did the record, She did what
Lebron did. But in college basketball, that's number one, number two. Let's be honest here. She white. It does help. It does. Let's just call it what it is. She white. It helps because you got all these white people like, oh, I gotta buy tickets. All of a suddenly these tickets is skyrocket. They do not double, they triple three or found dollars just to see her play. Is crazy. But like you said, Iowa not being a small town. They have to change her
basketball game to a larger arenas just to see her play. They went to a football stadium just to see her. Pay that's going from ten thousand to thirty thousand people just to see her play. They're taking that to the w NBA. Now what I feel like this was off. I don't think it's gonna fall off, but I do see this. I do see the women being competitive, Like, hey, you think it's sweet when you come over
here, It's gonna be another thing. That's what I do like. But I don't know if it's gonna backfire on the w NBA because people gonna be going at her real hall. I'm gonna say she's gonna get and then on top of that, and then on top of that, like you see it, I'm not it's big if you're paying. If you're paying three four hundred dollars for this, and then you're paying three four hundred dollars to see the Indiana Pacers play, it's gonna be a conflict of interest. Somewhere or what
they'll probably do. But I don't know, but I'm paying what they'll probably do, like you doing college ball. In college ball, if you buy season tickets for men like I have Marquez season tickets, I had to buy the women ones too. You have to. You don't have a choice. It's a package deal. It's a package deal in most cases. So the Indiana could do that. They could say, if you're gonna buy season tickets, you have to also buy w n B A. It's a package deal,
all right, But let's let's move on real quick. Uh. Shout out to Kaitlin Clark. Shot out the Kaitlin Cark really quickly. I was right about the playing. Shout out to Angel Rees. Shout out to Angel Rees too. I didn't expect her to drop to number seven. She dropped to number seven, popular to be at the top. But you also got to look at the team me her dropping at number seven, and then was the need another player makes them dominated and entertaining and Clark, in my opinion,
that's what's up. But Indiana did have they had the rookie of the Year last year. She came from South Carolina. But you know, I don't need to get into women's Her jerseys are already sold out. She signed a big contract with Nike, but the funny party is and then we can move on. You still talking about it. Her n I L deal is worth more than her w NBA contract. We're talking about. Man, that's crazy. But yeah, he talk about you don't like women basketball. I
mean I like women sports. I you don't like women's basketball to say I watched WN. I'm just saying, there's so many women who worked hard for this opportunity. Sometimes this is the same time. I get your point, speak my piece, but I've been interrupted the fact that they're giving women a little bit of recognition. But my fact, my problem is it's so many women that was there before her that didn't get that. So what you want
to do, I'm not anything. I'm just saying it's a lot of people before and then, like you said, and just like you said, her skin color is getting a lot further long a little bit than it would be anything else. Let's do it like this. This is probably more relable for us being from walking to anybody. When Glen Robinson hit the league, was he one of the best players in the league at the time. No exactly, But did he not have the highest paid contract when he hit the league?
Then all of a sudden, those other players who were way better than him contract time that came up. What if they do? I need more to him because I'm playing better to him. I got you. Oh, so you're saying that she's gonna start a revolution. I like that because look, with Terrence Rowe, I hope her game translates in the w n b A so viewership can increase and these women can give more money. You're unhappy with her being paid that she is. She got a lot on her shoulders,
so she gotta go out here. She gotta perform. She got a damn near be the levery bird of the w n b A. So everybody else can eat off for her. That I want to see it. But uh so moving moving on, head, moving on. The playoffs are set. I was gonna say something use but I ain't gonna say it. The playoffs are set and where uh the playoffs are set? And they started yesterday today Sunday. It started Saturday. I was right on all my playing pigs. I think I missed one, right, I think I think both of
y'all missed the one. But who did I miss? You missed? Uh, you missed New Orleans. You had New Orleans going there? Yeah, I had you know, he had Sacramento, you had Gold State, I had New Orleans, you had Sacramento. You had the Lakers going at their spot, and then you had Sacramento going at the eight. So it's okay to be wrong. I can't remember. Lakers got seven, The Lakers got seven, The Lakers got seven, and then New Orleans got eight. Okay,
yeah, and Sach got eliminated. Sack got well. Also to Miami got it. No, Miami's in the picked. We all picked Philadelphia, Miami and then we I was the one who picked that. That's gonna be the best series to me. So here So my question, so my question for y'all, Hey, we do this one time, one time only. This is your opportunity to change your picks, this opportunity to change your picks. I just sent him to the group chat. We are locked in starting
at thirty nine minutes on four one. That was that was a setup. This is when I looked at I just talked about it, man, When I looked at that, the Pelicans versus Okay, see who's saying the NBA didn't want that. The NBA wanted that. Really they wanted okay see to go to the second round because if okay see anybody else, they begin they begin busted out. I'm serious, It's only a setup. It's not the Lakers. If it was, if it was, if it was the Sacramento,
Sacramento will pop. Then let's do our picks. Man, are you changing? Come on, man, let's do our picks. I'm trying to get down toime bro, That's all I'm don't. Let's do hit you with a good Lord splitcher. If I was taking as black mad, you say something like, so, let's let's just start over. Let's start over. No, I mean, are you changing your picks? Yes? Of course here I know D was gonna change this. Well, I don't even remember what we did. So what are we doing here? Are we going through
the No, we're going first round. We're just doing first round? Okay? Uh? Team by team? Or how you doing it? Going team by team? We're doing Boston versus Miami. Uh, Boston in four I'm going Boston. I've been, but I'm not changing my mind. What did you say? But just REQUD people, I said Boston in four. Last time Boston in five. Okay, m hm m hmm. Uh Cleveland number four versus number five Orlando. I think I said Cleveland Cleveland in six. No, I said, I think I said in Orlando Cleveland in five.
This is new. Come on, I'm going out. I'm going, uh Cleveland in six, I'm going Cleveland. Gret Cleveland, and five you Cleveland. Five Milwaukee versus Indiana. Go ahead, Bucks in five Indiana and seven Indiana in six. I hope I'm wrong Indiana in six. Look I'm not. I'm a Bucks fan. We are. We all are. I'm a Bucks fan. We all are. But I'm also realists. We all are with this is an uphill battle. Janice will be playing in the series.
Janice will play in the series. Will playing this series. I'm gonna tell you I don't know about that. I'm going still telling me you're taking Holabird over Dame basically, because that's what the series boils down to, whoever have the best series of the two. I'm it boils down to who has Dame can't do it by itself, And to me, it's all it's all about the UH has to show up about the cast. It's about the cast. But at the end of the day, it's between the Battle of the Guards.
It's between Halliburton and Dame. Who's going to have the better series. So you and I got more faith and Dame than I do Halliburton. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong too. But right now, if you look at the four to one from the season, and you look at Gianni's perhaps not playing none that's around, the deck is stacked against us. Okay, So I get that in fact, And Jeff Tis just said something on this podcast the other day. What he say. He said, they
beat they beat Cleveland four. Oh and then during the regular season and then guess what happened first round in the playoffs. Lebron, the Cavaliers swept them. They get no ring though that year. It's Lebron. They didn't get no ring that year. It's true, it's true. So I'm saying, Lebron, it's not about the fan. It's about the different calibers of basketball. You gotta remember when the playoffs come, the game changes all of that in season stuf that goes on that run and gun, you ain't doing that
in the playoffs. What I will say about this series game, the Bucks need to come out, in the words of Kes putting a foot on, putting their foot on their neck, and they need to get both at home. They cannot go to Indiana down to Oh they cannot, they cannot afford to go down one one. I would love to say I have confidence in Middleton and Dame to do this, but you don't know which version of them gonna show up. Dame plays better when is not there, so maybe that's
what they say, this is what we need to start the series. I just I just know that. I just know that with Dame, I just know we Like I said, I'm going off what we have been going on in the season, and you're right, Kesey, when you're right. The playoffs is something totally different. But I just feel like and Milwaukee is the better team. But I just feel like from what I've seen is just I don't see. My hopes aren't high. My hopes aren't high, That's what
I'm saying. So and then we got after that, we got uh the Knicks versus UH the seventy six ers. See, here's the here's the thing. This is why I didn't want to This is why I wanted to ask you to, Joe want to change our pick because I believe if you didn't watch the game yesterday, seventy six ers. I believe we all picked seventy six ers too, but watching the game yesterday, it had I don't think we got that far though. Did we did the whole We did her first
round? Okay, now this is like I said before, this is official. I'm going starting all over. What do you? What are you? What are you doing? You're going knicks and six after looking at game one and without knowing about Joe El's uh, you'll play, you'll play, but in pain, I'm definitely playing pain. I'm going to Knickson five. I hate that because if we didn't watch game one, mine would be seventy six ers. That's why I tell y'all we should have recorded before the playoffs started.
You the one let's just let's just wa. So you say that and then you you're doing fifty million things. It was the game sleeping. I bet you if I was taking you, you would have been more commedy, would I quirked? Silent? Uh? When he said that again, jayalen Brun said, is that guy, I'm going up? You know, what No, No, I'm going I'm going Philly in seven. I'm going Philly
in seven. That was my pick. I'm going with it. I don't like that was the I've watched every game except for the two last night because I was at a work event or the last one. That was the best game that was on. That was the most competitive game. It was until the West Lakers game was good. It was not. The Lakers game was the first quarter. That game got away from LA quickly. I was good. Such a hater. I want competitive playoffs like the lost in my yeah,
the game What's borderline? Born to the third? Who like it? Was the fourth one? That was the third third? It was a third that they should have sat Lebron and just let him rest up with They can't. They can't, they said, Lebron ain't got ugly. They they pulled him back in. I was like, this is showing his ad. But let's go there real quick, l a versus the Knicks. I mean the Nuggets, Nuggets and six. You got that much faith in them. I'll get there, get a couple of games in, I hope. So this
is this is because for me, here's why I don't like sweeps. And I love the playoffs, the quicker, the first round ends, the quicker, the season ends, so like stretch, it is long. Get them about it there. I think Lebron got too much pride to against again. He ain't got to do with Brian Lebron Skill walk out there with his big toe hanging off and you know what else, you know what else. I'm gonna say this all four games last year, I'm gonna say this again.
Oh, I'm gonna say this. DeAngelo Russell is showing us exactly why people don't trust him. He was three for what eighteen nineteen? Like that, you can't play like that, and against Denver and playing at that altitude is rough if you're not from there. I've been to Denver breathing that air. You gotta been there to know what it is like. It's different sunny weather. Is it a time difference too? Maybe? Yeah, But anyway, and we won't give excuses. I got Denver. Joker is they're gonna march
to the finals easily. Okay, Now here's what this is the interesting. This is probably the most interesting series to me. Minnesota versus Phoenix. Now I remember vividly what you said. I remember vividly what you said. What do we say? Huh? But you have Phoenix in six? I still have Phoenix in six? You have Phoenix, and I do you have Phoenix? I had Phoenix in six too. I changed my mind. Anthony Edwards is the beast and he refuses to let Minnesota lose. I got Minnesota in
six. Okay, I would enjoy that he did. He played real good exactly. They released the transcript of what he said. Yeah, call him old. He said, yeah, sit you Stown. I'm like, wow, but you know that was you know, KDS is idle. But yeah, I'm going Minnesota in six. I'm going to Minnesota. I'm going with Phoenix. I forgot. I didn't know this. You know, commentators was talking Minnesota's best defensive team in the NBA, number one and it worked when last year. So I'm uh, yeah, I'm going. I'm going.
I'm going Minnesota and six. I changed my think. Twenty Towers, they better be some defensive all season. Man, we got the Clippers versus h Dallas, Mavericks Clippers and six. You still got Clippers in six? Yep, did you watch the game before your game? Here? I got uh, I got Dallas and seven. I didn't see the game. Hey, Siri, what's the score to the Los Angeles Clippers? Okay, I guess the Sherman Phoenix. WiFi said no, but the Clippers the story on today
without Kawhi. Yeah, they won the game one on nine ninety seven without Kawhi. Without Kawhi, I'm going I'm still going Dallas and seven Clippers in six. Let me see that, Okay, see Thunder versus New Orleans Pelicans. Okay, seeing six? Okay, seeing five? Because there's no Zion's no Zion heard. He didn't even play the second playing I forgot, but I forgot the Adam to the thing. He got a hamster injury, so he'll be out this whole series. So we got a series. Yeah,
whole serious, I'm going, Okay, see in six. So we got to ask this because it's the first round NBA Finals preview. No, not yet. What you want to do that? Are you sure we could do what we can? I don't want to keep changing. We have to change. I want to keep change because if the brackets change, we gotta change. I don't want to That's what I'm saying. I'm not That's why I'm not doing NBA here, Now, what's what's fine? Minutes? We almost But if you don't want to do it now or you want to, I
want to wait the first round? The first round? What do I do? Gotta ask? Do you still think the Bucks can win the title? That's a good question. Do you still think the Bucks can win the title? Considering don't even take Giannis's injury to effect, considering how Boston's playing, all these other teams are playing. Do you still think the Bucks can get to the get to the championship. I still believe they can get there,
Yes, but they can't. Things happen what they don't. Yes, but I do got faith that they can't get there if they come to play really quickly. Do you need to get that out of here? How much were what are we doing here? I had, I just had something I've seen. I wanted to just approach it. I can broach it next week. No, No, go ahead, it's a longer conversation. I can broach it next week. Well, give the viewers what is it that we're approaching
next week? Next week we'll be broaching, broaching, broaching, approach, broaching. I thought I was broaching. Broaching? Is what brochat. I never heard that before. Oh okay, that must be that's above our pay. I don't know what a uh No, what I was gonna broach is well, I was gonna talk What I want to talk about next week is what last week we talked about grades just the Bucks individually. I found the
article where they gave teams they finalized grades. It was a Bleacher Report article, and he gave some report card grades to some NBA teams, well all all NBA, all the NBA teams. Uh And I just kind of wanted to go over some surprises for me, but I will just going into Bucks talk. They gave Milwaukee a a D. Let's talk about that next week because I have a lot to say about that they gave They gave Milwaukee a D. They gave Milwaukee a D. And that's why, like this is
that's the lot. That's a longer time. Stephen A riding everybody, you know what, hold on up, riding the Bucks, He riding sons, He riding Joe Biden. Stephen A is riding anybody that would listen. But here's a real real quick Joannis was on his brother's podcast. Did you see that? Oh? Sorry, sorry, no Before you go there. Shout out to Dame for calling Steve an a out for being a liar. Shout out today, thank you just shutting him up about him not being happy.
Yeah, he going through a lot of stuff. He said, I'm happy with Milwaukee, but my personal life is is boo boo in so many words. What he says and through his wife Patty is just a lot of going on there. But real quick, Gianni's uh. He was on his brother's podcast, did a live show. I wish I would have knew, I would have went. But he turned down a six figure shoe deal from Adidas. Yep, I read that because they didn't want to give his brother.
No, they didn't want to give him a deal. Leader. Well, on top of that, Yan has had in his contract his brother has to be on the team wherever he goes. Is that is that what Yanna said? No? Yeah, is that what the podcast and he is saying on the podcast. I read an article that's that's his contract? No, No, yep, So all this theist, theatus, whatever his name is, whatever, He's gonna be here for a long time. I know he kind of mind me like Marty Collins, Marty who remember Marty Collins like this,
like that. Yeah, I can't here. It would be an interesting off season for the Milwaukee Bucks. Injury or not, it will be where it will be. But I think we're gonna be stuck with this roster for the least two years. And that sucks because the roster's not good. Let's see how it goes. I'm hoping it goes well. Let's I'm hoping to Let's give them some grace and to see what happened first round. I rather know it's coming than to give my feelings hurt. Last year, my feelings was
hurt. I'm not gonna lie to you. Your feelings was hurt me. We were to get wasn't hurt got using the first round? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, take that. Hak wasn't hurt. Feelings was hurt. We listen, bro, you could hear a pin drop. He was there. You could hear a pin drop. It was so quiet. Screw too? Is you wanted to call? Yeah you want, but it shouldn't have never been that close. You know. Another part is the hardest part about being a and I can say this is a Packer fan, knowing you all my
life. The hardest part about your team losing at home is when you're there with fans of the other team to talking smack toue. The Miami fans was talking so much trash. If I was a fighter, I probably would have got into a fight because they was. They was in people fan not even not even the fans just here because we were so close. We can hear Jimmy telling him this over right now, get this ship over right now.
Here's what you got on me, This ship over right now, talking trash baby in Holiday, remember I told you we talked about he about why did the Bucks trade Holiday the way he treated Holiday that round. I didn't want to get into this from maybe a little bit. It's deep presents left for me and about the one champions. All these people leaving Milwaukee thriving, That's all I know. I don't hope they better hope they get past Miami. They're gonna sweep Miami. We're gonna see we are. Yeah, it was
zero in the first quarter. What's it called hurd too? Scary Terry Terry you literally scary Terry you literally axis last week. Scary Terry is a yeah, he's a bucket. You just didn't remember because he was over in uh Charlotte. You still averaging more. He would average more points than Charlie than he was in Boston. Yeah yeah, but so we can get up out of here and go to the bus game. Uh. This has been another episode of ninety four Feedbacks. My brother dre Yo, it was always a
