Lakers Eliminated! Anthony Edwards Ascends | NBA Playoff Breakdown + Shedeur Sanders Draft Shock

Pick'em Pros athlete correspondent Brianna .

Do we have the guys to keep up with a team that talented when we are very top-heavy with three very solid , great players , right , but again very top-heavy ? Sometimes our bench doesn't decide to show up .

You got to make him regret it , you got to make him remember , you got to make Dallas realize that you made one of the greatest mistakes in NBA history .

Yeah some awful team and then all of a sudden , oh Luka , oh Luka is doing it . It is the craziest thing to see .

I'm not hiding that at all . We called this weeks ago a month ago we told you what you were going to do Every week . I was like now I'm nervous . Now , oh yeah , we presented all-time high .

Hey y'all , how's everybody ? Oh man , all right , uh , yeah , yeah , yeah , wow , a lot of things were said , you know . Let's just mention there were a couple series I picked correctly Celtic series , the Cavs series , the Knicks series as well , much more still . Wrapping up the Western Conference , I picked the Thunder . You know , you know picked every pretty much .

You know can't win them all , can't win them all . But yeah , that's a very , very . I mean five and three ain't too bad Actually . No , we still got two series of the tournament . I might be seven and one actually .

So I was like I don't know , I think that yeah , yeah very , very rough watch . You know , I , I was . I said lakers in six . Unfortunately that didn't happen .

Thank you for being here , thank you for watching us and checking us out , but joe man , uh , you're normally on it , but it is freezing in this studio today , man , it is freezing , my God . So you know what ? I need ? A hoodie I was trying to wear , but I need to put my gosh . It is freezing in here today , wow , okay .

Let's hit our lakers gone fishing here , all right , so lakers have gone fishing and uh I think uh , c pain has joined them . So , uh , yeah , man . So man , let's . Let's just talk a little bit about luca and , uh , that fool's gold man yeah , um , very much fools purple and gold this playoffs .

We like game four , we decided to run our five starters into the ground without substituting , which jj reddick got really upset about . But again , hey , you're a young coach , bro , listen , this is your first rodeo , you feel me . Yeah , and hopefully you know you can learn and we can get back to something . I have no idea .

Honestly , it wasn't a feeling of dejection because , honestly , after game four , I was like okay . After like game three , where I was like okay , like we get , it seemed like we gave them our best shot , and then game four was like okay , it felt like we gave multiple knockout punches and the wolves just kept swinging . Yeah , yeah , that that hurt a little .

So , yeah , uh , we're , we're going home and picking up is so crazy right now . But anyway , I think that , again with my last name , is lakers . I believe I don't want us to start turning into cowboys fans . You feel me , that was I . I feel like you know we're starting to become that where it's like oh every year , it's our year . We're going to be .

And again , you all know how I feel about Cowboys fans . So seeing my team become that team of just like , oh , every year we're going to win , Every year we're going to win . I should have been more realistic and hedge my bets like how I did at the King show . I drank the Kool-Aid man . I'm

sorry .

So he is I guess he is in a player option year here so he can opt in into his 50 plus million . So , with LeBron making max money again , is it worth it ? Yes , he's box office One of the top players in the league . Yes , of course , we all understand that . However , can LeBron James continue to make max money and win a championship ?

My other thing is we need , if we have , a player like Luka Doncic the one thing I did notice with the Dallas Mavericks even though Nico Harrison did say defense wins championships they did have very solid defenders around him , like a pj washington , and it's just , we need dogs like that around him .

So it's not just luca be the one who's constantly getting hunted . Yeah . So again and again , even during the playoffs versus the wolves , especially in game four , you see lebron coming up with all these defensive stops and I'm like , okay , this is like great , you're showing that while you're an all time green at 40 , but nobody else is making a defensive stop .

Everybody is late rotating , somebody's not making the right , the right play , and it's just . I think that in order to get the pieces that we need to compete for championship , he's going to have to take less money . I think that I don't even know if trades or trades can fix it , or we help a free agent get blinded by the bright lights of Los Angeles .

It's like come here , you'll be famous . You'll have to deal with the Internet sometimes hating you if you don't play . Well , like that's just Play for a lower salary .

You know , in this , in this , you know apron structure and how the salary cap is right now , you can only pay two people max money . Yeah , and it does . He just doesn't have the game right now to be one of those two people to make Max Money . Again , he's not a knockdown drag-out shooter .

Okay , his main skill is okay leadership , which is okay , phenomenal , and he's still one of the best passers , if not the best passer , in the league . Yeah , but okay , you can't make Max Money with that skill set . He's slowing down . You could see that in this series because and yeah , it was definitely .

like , oh , we have a chance , right . I was like this still feels like the games on the bounce . Typically , like five or six years ago , you would think , oh man , we're about to wrap this game up .

But I think that , uh , when it comes to that , it was just yeah , it was . It was a rough series and , as lakers fan , it showed the glaring need for center , because rudy gobert should not look like and again when shag is on the halftime show praising rudy gobert there is a serious , that's right , I mean

a step back shot or kick it out to somebody and have some . You know defenders are lobbing up to you know the dunker . So that's definitely what they're going to have to do . But let's go ahead and transition here to Ant-Man All right and his quest to take down all of the legends .

So we know that he took down KD last year , swept him All right , and that was something the Suns haven't been the same since , not at all . And then he went and took down the champs . At the time the Nuggets beat them in seven . That was an amazing comeback .

And then they folded to the Mavericks and I was very disappointed in how he let Luka come in his house and again , not so much beat them , but the way he was able to talk to the fans , the way he was able to talk to Gobert , and there was never any type of pushback , and so I was very , very disappointed in that .

But I was proud of Ant and the way he stepped up , made big shots , throwing the signs to Luka after he made them , and you could tell early on that he felt some type of way about how that happened and he wasn't going to let that happen this year . So big props to Ant . How do you feel about Ant man ?

It's scary the fact that he's mind you , I didn't acknowledge the fact that he's actually my age because I've seen him , like , play basketball for all these years , but I'm like , wait , he's 23 , I'm 23 , okay , this is , and you're out here , you know , not literally taking out legends in the game .

I mean what he did in this series and again being the best player , and again this game four was the was the moment I was like , okay , this guy is really the best , best shooting guard , possibly best , definitely top 10 player in the league because 43 and 11 . You're making all the key defensive plays . You're making all the key passes . You're the big shots .

Every single moment that the game can switch , you're making the big play . I was , I was in awe because I was like I don't know if I've seen a young player come in and just be like , okay , let me get fully , start getting rid of the old guard .

I'm here now and it's yeah , and even still , like you remember the clip going viral a couple months ago about like him talking to obama , him saying that he's the truth , and everybody was like , oh , why is it so confident ? The older generation was like , oh , why is he so confident ? The older generation's kind of like , ah , why is he so confident ?

I'm like I mean , look at the resume . He's already like stacking up .

You feel me and I think that , again , most people who are like fans of the league love Ant because of the flamboyance , because of the charisma that he has and again it that he has , and , again , it helps the fact that he's transitioned from mostly dunking and doing all that to being a very , very good three-point shooter .

My goodness , some of the threes he was hitting in those series was demoralizing . I think that the face of the league conversation is very real for him . I hope that he becomes that .

But I did want to ask you because I remember us having a conversation about this on the way home from one of the shows , but I asked you does it restore that mj feeling for you absolutely after this series especially ?

And I remember even talking to other people that were like my peers and they were all getting excited like , oh man , because just the way he attacked his opponent , the way he attacked the basket , the charisma , just everything . He embodies a lot of what I used to see with Jordan . So , yeah , he continues on this path .

He will absolutely be the face and , yeah , can win many titles . And what I also love that they're doing in minnesota is they're not doing what so many other teams are doing , whereas they're taking . Just because you're the best player on the team , they're making you the point guard .

I hate that , like I can't stand that with sga and you know some of these other players that aren't pure point guards but since they're the best player on the team , they just have them bringing the ball up and making the decisions .

I can see sometime in crunch time , but I like it when there's a designated point and I love the fact that with Minnesota they've got Conley and I think he brings a lot of stability , so I hope they never deviate from that . I hope they can always align him with a strong point guard .

But yes , to answer your question , man , yeah , he is the closest thing I've seen since .

I tip my cap because after all the crap everybody talked about you not guarding on the perimeter . There were some plays that you were making guarding LeBron and Luke . I was like , hey , I got to tip my cap to you , man . And even still , like Nas Reed , you know , jaden McDaniels , akilah , isaiah Walker , all of them .

They're such a well-constructed team , whereas the Lakers man I'm envious because it's like , okay , even though it is the best player , it still has to dominate . There isn't as much pressure as it is on LeBron or Lucas . So I definitely wouldn't . I would give the Wolves the props for this series .

And then bringing in Julius Randle , who would underachieve in the playoffs and fizzle out , had injuries . He was phenomenal Physical with LeBron , you know , had that dog . Now I'm curious to see okay , if he gets his money what's going to happen . I don't want to get too crazy with Randle , but I love what he did .

So if sga and joker are battling next round , if that ends up happening , that's amazing . Then could you imagine in the conference finals if it's sga and ant man , and then that would really be the battle for all . Right , yeah , who's the guy ? Oh , wow , yeah , we'll see . We'll see . That would be something , yeah .

Thanks for everybody that came out . We are getting ready to this weekend roll out tickets for our next show , june 7th . It's going to be fire . We're getting ready to announce the guests for that and it's actually what's going to be so great about that . One is I don't think tickets are ever going to become available for the public .

So those that have attended because they've all sold out at least a week in advance . So those that have attended are , you know , pick'em Pro members , vips they are going to get an email this weekend with a link to get first dibs on the tickets . If we have any left , then we'll open those up .

So our social media messages will be basically encouraging people to join our wait list off top . So that's a pretty cool position to be in . So thanks for all the love and support . We appreciate that and we can't wait for this next show at Kings . All right , so Detroit Pistons .

So I wanted to ask you do you think that they're a threat in the East next year if they get another key piece ? Let's say they get another scorer like a Devin Booker , or they get a point guard that can take some weight off of him , like a Trey Young what do you think the Pistons could be ?

And Booker although Booker's phenomenal Booker would be a great fit , but I don't know if that gets them over the hump , because I think they still have again . Are they like everybody else ? Do they have Cunningham playing the point ?

You know that's going to be phenomenal when we see the Cavs face them . But I think that puts them beyond the Knicks , for sure , for sure .

I mean this team , like 19 wins last season didn't get , didn't even get the number one pick that they wanted and now all of a sudden they're out here . I mean two playoff wins for detroit . Nobody , I I mean nobody would have thought about that , especially people saying that no , this series should have got seven games after that terrible call in game four .

But you know , I just felt that again the experience was going to play a factor and that's exactly what happened . But I love what they're building , love what the coach is doing , I love the culture .

And Detroit also suffered from Isaiah Stewart not being in there , and I don't even know really what the injury was , but that's kind of a mystery you know there , but that was definitely a big blow

. I mean , he's one of their you know top players , one of their enforcers . I could just imagine how physical the series would have been with him . So yeah , they definitely missed him . But yeah , big , big shout out to Detroit , detroit Pistons , detroit basketball Great to have that back . All right , Well , let's move on here .

Oh boy , let's go to the Warriors Rockets series . That is man game six playing tonight . So you know it's what ? 7.30 pm , eastern Friday , may 2nd . Right now , I think this is what a 9 o'clock tip 9 or 9.30're somewhere in there . Man in the Bay , go to state . I know Diego is going to be .

You know pins and needles for this Wifey wife is going to be , you know interested in this one . And man , are the Warriors going to close this out tonight ?

I think that this series , again , so much of it relies on Steph and Jimmy in the clutch there and seeing what Ahmed Thompson has been able to do and just really be a great defender versus Steph . And again my issue has been the consistency of Jalen Green , because Shagun has definitely showed up in the series .

But I feel like again the Rockets , because they're a younger team that nobody expected to be as good . I was really confused with the ending of Game 5 because I was like , okay , if you're kind of the lead to 12 , why not just at least see a ? Steph can have a magical staff moment real quick .

So I really hope that the Warriors lock it up tonight . I just again , it's Jimmy or Steph in the clutch and we just got to see that come through , yeah .

So I love the energy that they brought , but the way they celebrated put it this way if the Rockets had celebrated the way that the Warriors had celebrated , the Warriors would be accusing them of , you know , acting like they should be there before . So that was very interesting .

It felt like they thought that the series was over at that point and they're going to be in a battle .

As a young team . I understand that they're inexperienced , right , you guys know how game sixes can go , but it's like stop playing with your food . Like this is like y'all . Y'all can claim to be vet . We can claim that like , oh , they're the special veterans . You know they've been here before .

But it's like , if you've been here before , you know , don know , don't give any team a glimmer of hope , and especially as Warriors fans , y'all should know never give a team a glimmer of hope , because the second that happens , y'all are going to be home , so I really hope that they lock in tonight and win , because I need to get all the rest of my

predictions right so we can just laugh about me just being only wrong about the LA Lakers Y'all ruined .

We're gonna check that one out tonight . Uh , I kind of want to . You know , I selfishly want to see a game seven , just for for my sunday . You know , I want , I want to you to be able to get my food , and just that will add so much to my Sunday to have a game seven in H-Town .

I think that will be great , that will be great for the Thompson household . So we'll see . Not for Diego . Diego is going to be stressed . It might be another Diego collapse , the collapse on the ground , like you did with Duke loss . So , and then I have to sit there and not really dig in , all right , because mom will get on me .

So I got to hold back and not really give them that . See , I have to get all my business in . Like first quarter , I can be rah , rah , rah , but then , like second half , if it's close , I got to pull back .

I had the Nuggets and I even said Nuggets in six . I said Nuggets in six , you said Clippers in seven , so you're on par with that . I think Diego probably said Clippers in seven as well . We're going to give him that . So , man , tomorrow night in Denver .

Seeing Kawhi again do his thing Norman Powell has been great this series Nick Matum having his moments and just hitting key threes , the resurgence of Kawhi , that's what I've been very excited to see .

And I think that again , the Clippers , they are a team that I feel like is going to get hot at the right time and if they play the Thunder , they have to be very worried because there is a bunch of Because that is yet another veteran team against a younger team and I feel like the Thunder , they have the defenders to match up , but again it's like are you

going to be able to go up against people who have been on deep playoff runs before ? Right , so that's .

And with the Nuggets , I mean Russell Westbrook has had it's like high variance moments where it's like , hey , either he's the reason why they win or he is the you can point to him as the reason why they lost . And man , like the blown layup , the blow duck , I was like ross , what's going on ? because literally it was like the first year .

It was like game three or something , where he was like the reason why they like won that game right . And then this one is like , yeah , what's happening ? So I have a question I wanted to kick to you , but does yokich's ranking as the best player of the world change if he loses in the first round this year ? To you at least .

With the Nuggets , we've got to stop this narrative that the nuggets are a one-person team and that they are don't have any help . Okay , they have the same , pretty much the same , starting fight , at least for the starting five from the championship . You've got jamal murray who's balling out . You've got Gordon . Yeah exactly , exactly . And you've got the other .

Yeah , you've got Michael Porter Jr . So no , they have a deep team and so we've got to stop this narrative that it's just Joker and that he's carrying the team . But yeah , it's a question , it is a question yeah , I think that honestly're honest , what I've said .

It's like okay , guys , like you've seen y'all you know , win a championship and being able to like lead your team there and like backbend , but you haven't been able to do it consistently and we're holding y'all in such high esteem . So that's that's why I started to question it .

But I still think I mean , to me at least , like just what he does , the offensive , and I mean forget about it like I think that and again , like because this mvp race is so close , because of how the annoying thing with his MVPs is the fact that there was one that should have gone to Embiid in the really early one , the first one , but it's like this

year . I'm like I don't know what to say . You are the best player in the world .

You need more than just that one guy in order to win a championship . So that's why you got the Celtics , you got the Cavs , you got the Thunder , you got all these really deep teams . Yeah , yeah .

But I don't think people will totally give him that If Ant takes his team from a sleeper and wins the title and people are already clamoring for him to be the face anyway , yeah it's going to be very easy transition to call you . Yeah , and he's already taking Joker out in the playoffs and if they happen to play again , he takes him out again . Yeah .

But I'm very excited to see Game 7 , the end of this wonderful series , because this has been the best series of this first round . This first round was a little bit of a dud , I'm not going to lie . I don't know how did you feel about this first round overall ?

Yeah , that's going to be fire .

If they could somehow get yannis , yes man , that would . Because you imagine udoka . Well , I know you love udoka .

As a Lakers fan , I'm like , hey , let LeBron retire , because the battles were already crazy , right , without you know .

right , another top five player going to this conference you know me , so it's like oh , man , I don't want to deal with that man at the western conference year after year , because I now I do want to win more championships , because he's the reason why I even like want to become a journalist . Like watching that , like bucks final series .

A journalist like watching that , like Bucks final series Okay , I really like that . I literally sat down and watched it and like , after hearing his stories , like throughout the , the entire finals , was like , okay , I want to report on this . I wouldn't like be there for that .

You feel me Right , so , being in that moment , and that's why , like he's get more championships and accolades because of how hard you play as a player , but , man , I don't want you to go to the west .

Oh , that's right .

But before we do that , I got a plug for our sponsor , Lexi's Bussin Bacon . Again , check out her Instagram , those of you that are here . North Carolina . Lexi's Bussin Bacon has amazing treats cookies ,

desserts , everything . Check them out . And that's run again by a 18-year-old high school student . So it's phenomenal . Very proud of her . She's always a part of our raffle at King's and just want to give her a shout out as one of our sponsors . You can see the cookies here in the front , all right . So let's , man , let's move on to round two .

So we've got two matchups that we know of so far , right now . All right , we were going to have the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks . We were anticipating this . So Julian Heggie , who was on our show . He called out and said that the Celtics were going to win in five .

They did , said they were playing with their food , but now they've got the New York Knicks and going to take care of business . So do the Knicks have any shot in this series ?

Oj Ananobi's been consistent , but is that enough ? Then you've got the Celtics who again that whole Magic series was like oh bit . It's like oh yeah , we're gonna let y'all have a little hope . And then derrick white drew holiday and everybody's gonna turn up and it's just like every single game came out like that .

I feel like this will be a little bit more competitive because again , the knicks are can't match up well with them and they have two wings that can guard you to tater but jaylen brown . But that experience in the big moments is what . Why'm still paying the Celtics to win ?

And right now , because I did pick them to buy Lakers to win , I hope I can curse the Celtics . Okay , hey , let's see y'all get better . 19 . Oh God , that hurts to even say . But I do think that the Celtics , they got it . I don't see how they don't win this series . Series , if that makes sense .

Brunson , I consider him and , again , my definition of point guards are different . I don't consider SGA and Cunningham and all these other guys point guards . I consider Brunson the best point guard in the NBA right now from my definition of a point guard .

His footwork is impeccable and he's the only guy of that size that can take his team single-handedly to the playoffs . You know one exception I'll throw Ja in there . I'll throw Ja . Ja is the other guy , but I put Brunson ahead of Ja , clearly , of course . So he is just phenomenal .

And the way he got open for that last shot over Thompson against the Pistons was unreal . It looked like the way he got open . It looked like he pushed off .

It's very rare that you see players like that anymore . So shout out to Jalen Brunson . I really think that if your team just wasn't full of players who are inconsistent as heck I would . I would say that rk , like y'all , can win it all , but it's yeah , I mean , it is what it is .

I I don't know if he could carry them against a juggernaut like the celtics , so we're definitely gonna see . But man , what a great series versus the pistons that he had . Yeah , I really think that he needs to be known as the best point guard in the nba right now . Easily the .

He won the most clutch player award , easily deserved , because in the key moments he he definitely showed up in that series . So shout out to jaylen brunson and I like .

I was like if you could just turn and become a laker yeah it's like there's certain role players who I like one of my team , dante diva chenso is definitely he is nice . There's certain role players who I like One of my team .

They were gritty and it was the injuries that took them out last year . So I wanted to see that team play the Celtics . I wanted to see that so bad and you know we got robbed of that . So , yeah , I don't think it'll quite be the same this year . So we'll see what happens there and also see if the Timberwolves can hold on to DiVincenzo .

So that'll be interesting to see what happens there . All right

, well , let's talk about the last matchup here that we know of . For round two . We've got the Cleveland Cavaliers Again . They had a monster year this year , regular season , and they're about to play the Indiana Pacers Pacers coming off that showdown against the Bucs , and you know it's so funny because of the Bucs and Pacers .

We were clowning them talking about , well , we knew NBA TV , but then you said ESPNU , right , and we laughed . But dude , last Friday they were on NBA TV and ESPNU .

I'm sorry , and this is why people are starting to argue to get rid of the plate and all that . I say keep it , because the playoff intensity earlier helps , I agree . But with the Eastern Conference specifically , it's like ugh .

It gets a little sticky once you get to the 10th seed , because the work , because the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference is easily like 13 , 14 in the West , for sure . So it's like man , I don't even know . I think that the Cavs get hit on their business versus that team , for sure .

I do think that Indiana , they , they seem to have the requisite talent to maybe sneak one , but I don't know if they can get too off of them . And again , the Cavs , they seem like the real oil machine . So we'll definitely see how they do . But yeah , I don't want Pacer Celtics Like please .

So for the economy , for the sake of ESPN , for the sake of a lot of us , please stay healthy and take care of business .

We're going to get to this probably another time , because we have a segment plan where we talk about some of these dads that are acting more like the sibling , acting more like the brother , the homeboy . Yeah , the homeboy than being the dad you got , Ja's dad . You got , you know . Now , Lamar never was that , but he was just more loud and obnoxious .

But he was never like you know , Lamar was never like a sibling . But yeah , that was uncalled for , it was bad . Now I do think in his defense , I think he got caught up in the emotion , clearly , but there's no excuse for it .

Yeah , Giannis has a turtle beef with the Panthers because I remember it was like the highest scoring game that he had and they like snatched the ball for him and they didn't give him the right game ball back , Like what is up with that team . That's another reason why I don't want the Pan .

You're not good enough in a very average conference to talk as much trash as y'all do . I'm so sorry the Celtics will take your lunch money every time . I hope Cleveland takes that too , Because y'all are literally the fourth best team in the worst conference in the NBA .

You're probably not even going to make it to be on the court because this series is going to get real rough for you guys .

Yeah , right , you know he doesn't . He doesn't go up against certain guys . Yeah , you know , that's how . Again , that's how you know people always assess the situation .

, it's like we're real crazy , be actual crazy . It's like yeah , yeah , yeah it's about the crescent 300s of the phantoms that's right , that's right , all right , so , yeah , thanks for the question .

You've got to show up to these events , just having the pro day , not having the combine , not having the other workouts , your interviews allegedly being bad , all this stuff .

That still doesn't warrant the slide , because I could understand the second round if you weren't feeling Shador , fifth round is absolutely bonkers , I'm sorry , I I feel like again , if the first round's like hey , like we don't , the sealers are the same as why , hey , like we don't need a quarterback right now , we're good , but tyler shuck after not even hearing

about tyler shuck jaylen bill roll . Okay , the upside maybe . Maybe I could be sold on that . Dylan gabriel was the one where I was like all all right all right now , everybody's officially lost their mind on this one , and with Cleveland doing the whole . Well , it's not .

You have to earn your spot , you're going to have to be this I'm like Cleveland y'all have never been able to figure out a quarterback situation , andrew Berry especially .

I'm going to just say this you traded for Deshaun watson and we know exactly first off , else we're gonna take the off the off the field stuff outside , because we know that's particularly heinous , right , the fact that he didn't even produce when he was on the field .

And your backup quarterback , who is now much older , you had to resign because the fans were like , hey , he was actually the reason why we made the playoffs that year , right , instead of the guy you traded and paid $200 million for .

Right , I don't think y'all are the best when it comes to quarterback evaluation , for being completely honest , yeah , so hopefully you don't break Shender .

Hopefully Shender can get out of the quarterback hell that is known as the Cleveland Browns , because even still , when you had Baker who's given all he got on the field for you , tore his shoulder up , had to come to us , and the reason why he was terrible was because his shoulder was still messed up , then he goes to an actual team , you see him balling out .

So , cleveland , I don't think that y'all are the best organization to be talking about what's taken out of them . When it comes to quarterbacks , I'm glad Schindler's drafted . I'm appreciative of the fact that we have the chance to see the talent in the NFL .

But yeah , I just think like it's a messy thing all the way , all the way around , and I do feel like , had they like talked , had more insight , knowledge about like where teams view Shador , that would have been better . But I still think it was an attempt to humble him .

Knowing that you got a bunch of people doing some philanderous stuff in the league it's a little crazy .

So if he can go in there and ball out , he can make it a great situation .

Now again other conspiracy theories that oh , they let him fall so that more people will be interested in the draft , which I think is like that's a little far-fetched .

, Maybe too much .

Brandon , we're going to close out , man , with your final three minutes here , my guy , so let's get your camera on if you can get that , get that going . Can you hear us , brandon ?

Didn't expect Rudy to have a game of a lifetime , but hey , it happens when you trade away AD . But so there's that . Ant-man faces the league . He's shown some flashes of it . I felt like you got to to me . I think he got to deliver a championship and a final MVP for that to happen . Golden State I felt like they could still close it out .

I think they'll close out better in game six as opposed to game five . Yeah , so there's that . Denver sports teams have two game sevens going on tomorrow night at the same time . Oh , really . Yeah the . Denver Nuggets play the Clippers and then the Colorado Avalanche plays the Dallas Stars on the road . Oh , I didn't know that it should be like .

And , ironically enough , colorado and Dallas Stars playoffs series . In hockey it's the only game seven as of right now . Wow , that's ironic . That's the thing of that's how crazy playoffs work , especially in hockey , because , like there's a lot , there's no , you know , parity .

I mean , well , there's no super teams or whatever in hockey , so a lot of teams are very evenly matched . So there's that , giannis . I kind of do see Giannis going to the west .

um , I would say , don't be surprised if Gold State just magically pulled a 2016 offseason again where they just clear the clear the players and say , hey , we'll get rid of 4 or 5 players and try to go after Giannis . Like don't be surprised if they do that . Oh boy , wnba preseason just started . Dallas is playing Vegas right now .

Okay , so shout out to Paige Beckers and them . Yeah , obviously they've got some injuries . But you know , in sports it's humanly impossible to go through a full season without an injury . They've got some injuries in the W so far . They have a docu-series highlighting women's sports in college , called Full Court Press . It's airing tomorrow night on ESPN+ .

It's run by a Omaha production crew . That's run by Omaha Production Crew . That's run by Peyton Manning . Shout out to them for that . I would say , before I go , congrats to Pop and his retirement . I've been retiring . 29 years of coaching for him like five titles winningest coach ever , yeah , arguably the greatest coach in NBA history .

I wish he would have , you know , ended it better . But hey , you know . Congrats on his retirement and want him to enjoy his retirement .

That's why we got you wrapping things up for us , my man . So we love it . All right .

It's season eight for them and big three basketball , so it's gonna be a lot of sports in the summertime .

So , all right , brandon . Well , hey , man , we'll let you get back to it . Thank you so much , and we'll see you again in two weeks , my man .
