Nightcap Hour 2: Steph Curry to Play on MINUTE RESTRICTIONS vs Clippers + LeBron SPEAKS on PLAY-IN Tournament + Pelicans make Zion Williamson OFF LIMITS + Nick Wright LEAVES OFF Steph Curry on Best Guards List

Steph Curry was one of the three Golden State Warriors who will who will be on the minutes restriction and the team playing game against the Clippers of the Los Angeles tomorrow. Steve curR said that Steph Curry, Christophe Prazingers, and Al Horfor will all play fewer than forty minutes and it will must win game.

Well, damn, I hope so they would play fewer than forty minutes. Yeah, hold on, let me see something today that's a must win game.

Why he gonna why he gonna.

Dictate how many minutes they playing already? I guess, he said, because I got the Clippers winning that game.

You don't believe. You don't believe in them boys over there in the bay.

I said, I said, I got the Clippers, now me and you can continue to bet if you want to.

Oh no, no, I ain't got no horse in that race.

I mean, if you think about it.

The Charlotte Hornets in Miami, they went to overtime and Miles Bridges with overtime, played forty three minutes. LaMelo Ball played forty minutes. They played the most, and then you got Miami. Andrew Wiggins had forty two khalil Ware had forty two, Davion Mitchell had forty eight, and Hopkins had forty one. So I hope in a regulation game, if

Even chance it.

Hey, because because Steve Kerran knows the intensity that those guys are gonna have to play with tomorrow to even win the game. He knew how physical that game gonna be, right, you know what I mean? And with Steph just coming back, you don't want them to reaggravate nothing. But at the same time, hell, if you want to continue to keep playing, you gonna need that man on the floor for sure.

Yeah, even just just presence on the court open things up for other players. There you go, there, you go. Uh, I don't know if you got much choice, Steve. It ain't like you got you know, Prime Clay and KD out there, so you can really really dictate that Steph is only gonna play thirty minutes.

You ain't.

You ain't got them hosts that can run like that anymore. Yeah, Nah, they no, they gonna have to.

Uh, they gonna have to get some great contribution for some of the other guys you know who've been playing pretty.

You know, Pretty's gonna have to play really well. Yeah.

Yeah, But the thing is, you know they traded kaminga. Moses Moody is hurt. I mean, maybe they gotta get some production from Uh. They got another guy, a guy from Brazil that's been shooting the come out the ball.

I know, I don't be knowing none of them.

Guy neither, He's gonna have to He's gonna have to play. He's gonna have to play really well for him, He's gonna have to play well. Lebron spoke about finally avoiding the player in tournament this year. Let's take a listen to what Bron had to say. You have the play, Yeah, I mean it's gonna be great.

I am happy because being a participant of the player for some years. Did I get to sit back on my couch with my wine, knowing I don't have to play until the weekend? Are you not entertainment and just just sit there and just like enjoy. I'll have one iPad with golf on the other one with the playing. Yeah, I would just be so excited, perfect and watch and just like enjoy basketball.

Yeah.

Yeah, Hey, look, I know I know he'll appreciate this, because y'all remember when they first came over with this playing thing, you know, Yeah, Brin hated it.

He wouldn't he wasn't with that.

Yeah, So but he realized that without the player Hill, I wouldn't even been in the tournament. So Lizen, what what happened to a dislike turned into a blessing?

Yeah, yeah, because the past three four years they've been in the play in and h Yeah, I'm sure. Look, I'm sure he's happy he get a chance to kind of sit back. But I think I think he does understand the challenges that's ahead of him, you know, and playing this Rockets team without Luca in ar you know what I mean. I've heard him talk on numerous occasions obviously talking about it. It's going back to like twenty eighteen on where he kind of basically got to carry

And how they gonna get they get beat by thirty, yeahs be in trouble. Plus the thing is Joe, Yeah, and we talked about that the other day about twenty eighteen.

But he was three then. Yeah. Yeah. It's a big ass.

Different in professional sports from thirty three to forty one.

Yeah, I think, yeah, it's it's a big difference. But if it's anybody who could do it, I think we would all agree that Lebron could do it. I think given the fact that I know he's forty one, but his body is in great shape. This week of risk, I definitely think it's gonna help him. Yeah, what I mean, because he's gonna have to play big minutes too. He probably gonna be at forty minutes a night, easy.

Yeah, he definitely more than the thirty four minutes that he probably averaged. I think he probably averaged the fewest minutes that he's played in his NBA career. So yeah, he's gonna be somewhere north. He definitely gonna be. I think he has to be north of thirty seven thirty eight minutes.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, no question, no question.

So hopefully they can they can keep it thang to float when he's not in the game. But the most part, yes, he's gonna see the thing I think the biggest difference between a young great player because when you're great, they don't compare you against other great players.

They compare you against your younger self. You see what we did on Yo Joe. We didn't say anything. We said Lebron twenty eighteen, We didn't say, we didn't say nothing about any other great player. Well, he needs to be like Jay leb Brown, he needs to be like Yoki, He need.

To be like Shape.

We compared him to a younger self, and that's what the greats get compared to. They don't get compared to the other the greats playing. Now you compare them to a younger version of themselves. When you're a younger version of yourself. You know what you can do when you're a younger version of yourself on your you your twenty give you give to them twelve back to back to back. Whit wow now and you hit him a look at promise here, you give your lick to down.

Promise.

I'm gonna get your digs though, I'm gonna get you tomorrow. That's what I got for you. I ain't got what I used that.

He might not even get that, boy.

You ain't.

I got a spade hand, Joe, I got two of the possible. And this might get cut off the rill if you doing everything that you told me you're gonna do. It's kick yeah, right right right what it is? And so that's what Lebron. That's what Lebron. Yeah, can Lebron's go thirty?

Yes?

Did you see what he did when he Detroit when he was young and he gave him twenty eight straight? He gave me he's scored twenty at the twenty nine. Oh you saw what he did? What was that twenty What year was that?

Twenty eighteen? When he had that game against Golden State. He on the first game, Yeah, and it like he.

Couldn't do anything. It just it gets hard to sustain. That's the thing, Joe. And you know when you was in your you twenty five twenty seven joke.

Bounce back like that?

Yeah, hey, quick a.

Snap back, man, you get thirty five thirty seven?

God damn, hey, look that's where you started talking like shit, I gotta started eating, right, I gotta start all that come into play.

You can't be messing around.

Hey, damn anybody else y'all helping y'all, anybody else gonna do anything?

Nobody here bout my damnself. Please.

But hey, like you said, Joe, if anybody can have that type of game. But the mere fact we're having this conversation, we're asking a forty one year old to turn back the hands of time.

Hey, if we if we didn't think he could do it, we wouldn't. We wouldn't be, you know, putting this on his shoulders. I know he's capable for sure.

But the thing else, Joe, you're gonna ask him to do it potentially seven times?

Yeah, yeah, I understand that part, But I think this role that he's in right now.

This is the role he's most comfortable in.

Okay, oh, show to where he's where he's the facilitator you know, can score when when, whenever he wants to. But you know, him finding guys, getting guys wide open shots, making sure guys in the right spot. This, this is the Lebron that I think that that he enjoys being that magic s kind of guy, but a guy who can really put up big numbers offensively.

And I think he likes being then underdog too. Ain't nobody really giving him a chance? Yeah, go back and look at the series they played Toronto, and you look up and look at the series when they play the Hogs or when they play the Celtics. Man ain't doing nothing, y'all. Y'all, y'all, y'all are better do nothing. And here he goes. Lebron also said he wants the Lakers versus Celtics finals finals. That would be crazy. I had a lot of Celtics

And hey, for him to be talking about the finals, but yeah, he got some juggle knights over here in the Western Conference here, Nah, I.

Mean for him to get to the finals. They gonna need to. They needed like a.

Twenty eight year old Kareem or a twenty seven year old Shack and bring along arrested soul passed on Kobe.

They need.

Him by himself. They're not coming at these hey, man, you hear what he said. The man said what he said. He wouldn't mind seeing the Lakers and Celtics either. It sounds like it sounds like he got something up in sleeve. Yeah, that's all I'm saying.

Whatever.

I wouldn't mind having the hips that God gave me, but you know what, I ain't got them, and so I take what I got.

You get you get that Lakers Celtics match. If you play NBA two, K got you can get it.

Yeah, Hey, this day, this is what he needs. He needs.

He need, He need doubt like this. He need people to die him, yeah, to get him going. This is what Bruh need right now.

Pelicans executive Joe Dumar says Pelicans have no intentions on trading Zion Williamson.

Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

And even when you say no to people like no, when that moves Zion within two hours, it's out that, yeah, you've had conversations about trading for Zion, and so listen, we have no.

Intentions of doing that.

You know, we're going into the off season looking forward to Zion coming back next year and playing great again next year. But yeah, you know, these phone calls come in and you know, people asked by the player, and you say no, and then two hours later it's like, yeah, they had a conversation about playing. I'm going no, that's true, but you left out maybe the most important part, which is, uh, we said no.

You know.

You also later said Zion and Darry Queen need time to jail together, like Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum.

Be it. Well, you can't.

You can't let First off, I don't even know if they got any draft pick, because I know the Hawks got they picked this year, the Hawks got, the Pelicans picked this year. So if it's a top four top pick, the house got, so maybe they don't have no picks. But you can't let Zion leave New Orleans. O.

Hell.

You you know, ain't no free agencies coming, ain't no free agents coming. There, no top ones anyway, So you gotta keep You got to keep that star in place and hopefully you know, y'all figure figure it out here sooner or later.

You don't think they're moving.

Yeah, I think they will.

Anything coming from gms or owners, you know, you you you take that with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to business.

But they're not gonna what they're gonna get that's gonna be comfortable to him.

I have no idea, Joe, but holding on to somebody that I mean, I have no idea, Joe.

You would, you would know better than me.

But I'm just saying when it comes to the things like this, especially with players where obviously star player injury, he has an injury bug.

He hasn't been available, you know, for a lot, for a lot.

Of his career issues off the court at times, you know, here and there, I don't know is it.

Worth it at this point. Still still great when he's healthy. Oh, he's one of the best, bit easily, But what we expected him to be coming out of college, he hasn't lived up to the hype.

No.

Well, I think when when when he does play, he gives you, he gives you great production, but it's just.

Hill.

Sometimes you don't know when he's gonna play. But when he's on the floor, you get great production from him.

You know, he's strong, Joe.

I think I think he can be. I think he can be way better than what he's showing. Actually, I just think there's another level to you know, his regimen that he has to add, which is you know, obviously training harder, eating better. You know, because if he come in into into some real shape, Joe, you gotta think, can't nobody guard this man already?

Is that he is right now?

If that man made his mind up that he wanted to be a top five player in this league, I think he can easily do that. And it takes to work, but I think he can easily do that.

Fus thing.

I'm disappointed there that I thought he would be a better He should be a double double guy. There ain't no way he shouldn't be a twenty ten guy. I agree, no way, no way.

In heale he shouldn't be a twenty and ten guy. Two athletics, too too much talent.

He Joe, he is a more athletic Charles Barkley. If Charles Barkley could be a twenty and ten guy, if Charles Barkley could.

Lead the league in rebounding.

The the shortest guy to ever lead the league in louisbounding at six foot four. Ain't no way in hell Yan Williamson can't get tend to rebound the game.

That's at the minimum. Yeah, no, no, I think he can definitely do that. I think the most underrated part of his game to me, Uncle Ojo is his ball handling ability. Oh man, the way he handles the ball like ain't nobody his size or taller.

They can't stay in front of him, they can't guard him.

That's why I say he's like a cheat cold and if he ever make his mind up that he wanted to be one of the best to ever play this game, bro, it will be a scared sight screen sight.

But you when you said you said something that you heard what he said on Joe.

If he if he makes his mind up us wanting him to make his mind up, he has to do it.

Yeah, wanted for him, He got the wanted himself.

I had I'd have been had meal chef man, I'd had mi a chef.

I'm in nor a. This is what I need to eat. I wigh this much. Hey make it taste good. But I need you.

I need a cooking every meal.

I mean I spent I mean, as a professional athlete making that kind of money, you should be willing to spend a million and two million dollars on your body.

Yeah, did you'll pay you back? Did y'all have a chef for y'all was playing? Did y'all have a shell?

Did right at waffle house? Did?

Oh?

Yeah?

The shell?

No?

I had somebody I had when I was home whenever Atlanta. I had this company that would prepare my food, and then you know, had uh my lady would cook.

But I'm simple, Joe.

I don't like I said, give me chicken, breads, brown rice, some green beans. Man, it's playing, okay, yeah, see the difference between the See this is why I know no one could train like I could, because I know they eating.

They eating for a pleasure. I eat for survival. That's why you can't beat me. You can't.

Hey, that's a bar. They eating for pleasure, you eating for survival. Okay. I like that.

So that's why I was That's that's that's where I was at. That's where my mindset. So they're not. That's that's why I know they're not. They're not gonna do that they're not gonna eat. They're not gonna eat the same thing every every day for ninety days.

Right, that's hard. They not, they not.

You're not gonna go You're not gonna go to three days without eating food. You're not gonna go a day and a half without drinking water. I ain't tell you what I could do. I'm telling you what I did do. So that's what I say. They be talking all that be talking that I you can't because you you don't you because I already know you're not gonna You're not gonna push yourself like that.

You're not gonna go to that.

See, I'll go to a place that's uncomfortable, pull up a chair and get comfortable. Yeah, yeah, I noticed light to get into that hurt locker. Yeah, they're not getting that hurt locker. Oh Joe, they were talking. They ain't gona getting that hurt locker. I'm be here for a while. See a man that's been to hell, he don't care about going back. That's when you know, that's when you know when you start to question yourself, when you ask yourself, why am I doing this? What am I doing this?

For?

How much longer do I have where the hell of I'm going? When is this over? Ask yourself, though, when you train, ask yourself those five questions. If you don't ask yourself those five questions, you ain't training.

You work it out. There's a difference between the two.

I'm training because I want to be able to call on my body and know that it's been there in a go again. See hey, if you haven't put your body through there, how do you know what to do? But you go work out, you go do your little thing. You look good. But see, I'm training because when I call on my body, See you call on your body in the first quart, boll, I feel good when you call it on in the fourth quarter, Still feel the same way. Got nothing in the tame when you running

So what how do I? I said, Okay, what tim me what you're trying to do?

What?

I kind of want to set up like what you and know your guy, especially when I'm doing Nightcap, but I want to set up like this. I want a three Campbell sisters. I said, well, this is my camera, that's your camera. This is the slide that's going back and forth, X Y and Z. I said, bloom boom boom. I said, look, everybody's everything is different. I said, now for Nightcap, I have people that only work on night Web shame shape people.

Man. You got yeah, yes, but that's what it takes. I said.

After I'm done with you, I'm gonna go and get on Nightcap with Ojo and Joe, and then I'm gonna come back tomorrow and I'm gonna take somebody else and then I'm gonna go get on the Nightcap with you. Just gotta hey, just take the game. Today Tape, Yesterday, take the day before. Guess what I'm gonna get my black ass on a plane. I'm gonna get to Vegas. I'm gona land, I'm gonna go get in my garage, do cardio. And guess what I'm gonna get on Nightcap with you guys. And then guess what I'm gonna do

And guess what yeap? Basically that's it. Yeah, it ain't no secret. It ain't no secret. It's hard to have work to be good at something. It's even harder to be great at it. Everybody wants to go to heaven, but don't nobody want to die?

Mmm.

I don't see how one is possible without the other. I mean, but you know, we ain't gona We ain't gonna do that. We ain't gonna get into the Bible, we ain't gonna get the scripture of that.

Guy.

Ain't what we're gonna do. Nick Wright revealed his ten

And do you like the order? Would you rearrange some things? Oh?

This this is Oh, it's an order. Huh, Yes, that's the that's the order he has them.

This is a this is a pretty great list, pretty good list, fellas. Uh uh so ones in two.

Yep, you got p you got got points and uh and two guards.

You ain't got no AI. You got no AI.

He ain't got hardened, ain't no Steph curry see, but you got Steph.

The I'm gonna take of damn there everybody except the top three. Steph a two time league MVP, a finals MVP, a four time champion.

And he ain't even a top ten guy. Mm hmm.

Even if you just put it, even if except for the sake of argument, And that's what we do. Sometimes we argue. We call it debate, we call it sparring, or whatever you want to call it. The mere fact that Steph Curry isn't on this list.

Yeah, yeah, that's what we're doing. Ain't no James Harden, I mean they yeah, ain't no Jay Kidd.

I don't know, like I said, without Steph Curry, I don't even want he and everybody, Hey, congratulations to everybody made it.

We know Jordan, Magic and Kobe. I don't really think you.

I mean, hey, Steph Curry said, Hey, hell if I in the top four, if I in the top three, to who the hell is? But the mere fact this man didn't even make the list. Hey, Nick, come on, now, come on, now, come on, now, come on now. Hey, look, I'm gonna tell you something. Tho Shay gonna be stamped in here though. Yeah, he's gonna He's gonna stamp himself in there for sure.

As long as long as he stay healthy, he's gonna be all right.

But the bro who changed the game more than one step in the Wardelle Curry.

Hadn't been many, hadn't been many fellas they.

Shoot the three becomes everybody shooting The three kids used to be kids. Warning the dunk had the tongue hanging out like Michael Jordan's not a little ass kid can barely throw that. They taking the ball with one hand, trying to shoot the damn three because they're too big. They tell you too small to shoot it like a normal person. They just chunking the ball.

Yeah, yeah, I wonder what Nick used to come up with.

His list is.

Moonshine, blocker and he don't know nothing about no moon shine.

Okay, well flocker walker walker, flocker, no flocker, what's that?

Google it flerl al a kk a flocker.

He ain't the man tied to his own opinion, No, you can't. You can't even get no opinion with that step on there now if you want to, if you look, I would give you that.

I would conceive that, Joe, if you said, you know what steph number eight said, that's his opinion.

But the leader man off the entirely. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree with your in this one. I agree with you. What is saying, o, Joe?

He said, fl double c a double k on.

Double k fly eye some bad saws. You know, a bad sauce are.

Yeah, I heard it bout them.

I remember that some dude took bass all here in Miami and and hate the man face. You remember that? Yeah, you remember that, Joe. Yeah, it was a while ago on South Beach.

Yeah. Well that what that flock? You do it? So then you have you say, what do you use to get this lead? Joe? That's it?

Highly addictive, synthetic stimulant. Okay, okay, oh no, damn they got crazy.

And I know to give people the benefit of dow for the list, that's because that's their opinion. But for you not to have Steph Curry on one of the top he didn't say one or two, he said ten. So in other words, he found ten guards better than Steph Curry.

Let that sick in chat. Ten guards better than Steph Curry. That's that's that's that's tough. Ten not three, not three.

If you want to say, you know what for Magic cobD and Jordan, I just couldn't put him on there.

Okay, I don't agree, but okay I will. I would get ill just just saying, oh, Joe and Joe, I give you that, but you found seven of.

The guys step.

Off that's like you saying, Okay, Ojoe, I woulda name ten quarterbacks, but Patrick Mahons ain't in the top ten.

And that devil is a life. That's what I'm saying.

I bab lookah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

How how do you keep how do you keep it?

Four time champion, a two time league MVP and the Finals MVP and he's he ain't no arguing, ain't no debating. He's the greatest shooter we've ever seen. He forget, forgot, he forgot. Still he forgot?

Oh he mother? Okay, yeah he forgot? What what? What about the editor whoever? Whoever?

Like, hey, bro, are you sure you want to post this.

Bad please?

And a lot of our takes Me and Nick we kind of see things a lot the same. But Nick, you on your own on this one. Jack, No, sir, Chat,

Yeah, I was all right.

It's time to play or fade, presented by Prize Bigs. The first one is Pollo banketto thirteen and a half rebounds and assists. So when you could buy his rebounds and assists, he'll have more than thirteen.

And a half. Damn Palloi be tripping some whole the time. Bro. Yeah, yeah, Polo was on one this year, but.

He gonna this due would die. I'm gonna give Polo the benefit of the die. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say, yeah, he gonna say he be over rebounds and assists.

I think, yes, yeah, he be over what you got on your You say you're gonna.

Be over, Yes, sir, I mean all right for the moment, for the game, the light the lights on, the lights have be he ain't got no choice.

Tyree's Maxi more one point five three point field goals more so you gonna have at least two.

Yeah, mb ain't playing. Neither of that boy be out there like ay, I want m b ain't playing.

All right, we're going more.

We're going more with Tyree's Maxi and the Clippers Golden State game. Benter Vic matpurn Uh. At least he'll have more than eleven points.

I like I like Matthering two. I like him. I say, I say he'll have more. I say more. Yeah, because he come in gunning. Now. Yeah, he come in and looking to get his shot. All right.

The for the guy that we just mentioned that we thought he should be a top ten guard in NBA history, But Stephen Wardelle Curry will have at least twenty six and a half points more or less than twenty.

Six and a half.

Joe is he still coming off the bench and he's starting now? He back started? The better start that man?

Uh sure, even if you were coming off the bench. Joe, he getting twenty.

Six, you think so? Ojoe boy, he.

Got to get to it, Joe. They don't have a chance to win the game.

Without him getting at least thirty. They're not winning. Joe got because somebody got a match. Somebody got a match. Kawahi. They ain't got no answer for Kawhi man okay I guess we're going more with Wardale. Yep, we're in.

Unison one hundred and twenty five dollars downloaded. After they use coach Shannon to get fifty dollars in lineups, after you play your first five dollars lineup prize picks.

It's good to be right, all right.

Our final savement of the evening, it's time for q A. All right, before we get to our super chance, we've got six video voice mails from my discord.

I canna listen to the first one. Oh what's up?

Uh?

Ochoe? I so and still o toe Yeah you.

See it, bro, got them trash heat up out of here. Hey, all right, So what I need you to do is I need you to go ahead and make sure Ocho don't score nothing Todd all this cappin he be doing, and then make sure you beat the break soft of him. You know, he still got to do the show, so not too bad. And then after that, make sure you put that crowd back on.

Baby, let's go Hello, Hello, Hey, I got you, Hey, I got your partnered on you worry about it.

I'm gonna hold it down.

Yeah, one thing, one thing about it. Boy, he asked you to do a whole lot of things.

You ain't got to change.

He he he ain't asked me. He asked me to do nothing that ain't possible.

That the hell he ain't.

And it doesn't even sit it.

Doesn't even sit right on you, bro, You false claiming too out here.

Listen my crown like t I wear his hats, don't worry about it if they talked to the side, talked to the side.

Oh oh, we can't let that. Man. Cain't be false claiming like that. But don't worry.

A couple of me and you play. I'm taking that crowd. You can't never wear it again part.

Hey, I already told you what's gonna happen to you, Joe.

He was saying, you a false prophet out here.

Hey, Joey, I just I have studied it. I have studied the film.

You have studied it.

I have studied him. I know, I know every move. I know what they're gonna do when the ball in his left hand. I know what they're gonna do when the ball is right here. I'm not even tripping, all right?

The second one?

Man, what's up?

Arnking out y'all and still king io my bad, Randy here again a ka boogie from Oklahoma, Man, my bad, I'm here again. Man, But yo, let anybody from Oklahoma tell it.

Man.

KD could have went anywhere else. He could have went anywhere else, Man, just not the team that you lose to.

Man.

That's like, come on, dog, like what that's just like how Paul Pirice was talking about Ray Allen when they lost to Miami and he go join them. They go, he go join Miami, like, not that team Dog, not that team man. And if you let anybody else tell it, Man from Oklahoma Katie a cupcake for leaving Bro. And it's not even that he just left Bro. It's just Bro, not THEMN Bro, not them.

Yeah, I think that's that's the biggest problem that a lot of people had.

I agree.

The fact that Kad and the Thunder had them, had them boys down, had them down where they had him down three one, three one, and they came back and won, and then you went and joined them. That's that's the most disheartened thing I think that you get from the fans and guys like himself talking.

Here's our third one. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Man, what's going on y'all?

What I ain't gonna lie? Man?

You got a partner, Steven A. Smith?

About how he talking about my hearts? Man like he Trump, he got a whole city hot. He got the whole city hot. So get what We're gonna put it like this. We ain't stunning nothing he talking about. We're gonna put it like this Nicks, Twigs, them Boys, Sweeter in the Pixie Stick, Hawks and five.

Dude, that's your team. You got the ha you got the Hawks winning the series.

Yeah yeah, I got the House winning the series. I got the House winning the series. Uh. I think it's I think it's gonna be a great test for him. I'm glad that we start on the road in Madison Square. That way we can kind of gauge the intensity of this matchup in this series and highest gonna be played because when you get home, when you get back here in Atlanta, we're gonna be waiting and we can't squander no games away here at home. We got to win

I like that.
