My Niners, the sixth seed at the number one green Bay Packers. We know, we know winning this game ain't no question even you know that. Now I don't know. I think the Nathers are gonna win. We're different bro defensively, offensively, like a cowboy fan. Now we did no but but we actually win. I got green Bay winning by seventy. It's gonna be a good boy, the kind of winning by seventy. Welcome back to what's burning? Jack? What's good? Broke? Not much bro snow in Atlanta? So it's all crazy, is it? It's really snowed. Huh, Man, it was just flurries, but you know it's a blizzard to everybody outeah Man. Heavy mL K day yesterday, fourteen games. Let's talk about some of them. First off, let's address k D's injury. We wish him well. He's supposed to be out four to six weeks. Jack. Where does this leave the nets? You know Kyrie is part time right now. Uh, you know all dretching and Mills are gonna definitely have to step up. But thoughts on the state of the nets for the next four to six weeks. It sucks, man, it sucks. They're going through enough. Uh, just this where my own selfish reasons, uh that I wish Katie were get in the weight room. These are the type of things that I wish he was get in the weight room for, you know, make them legs a little strong. Even though he's so great. I know they say they ain't every brother, it ain't broke, don't fix it. But if he can make his legs a little strongest body a little stronger, to imagine what type of player he'd be. I know that's not in his his character, his DNA, but weights and strength prevents a lot of injuries. That's why Lebron has a red, hasn't really been so injury because he's a big time guy in the weight room. It's gonna hurt the nets really knocked him off their game, and uh they might slide. It might slide in the East and the standings with Katie out, So it's gonna hurt him. But like I said, for my selfarate reason, these are the times I wish he was in the weight room. I think to him, I I agree with obviously weights aren't gonna hurt anyone, But I think to his defense, similar to a d like this doesn't matter how many weights you lifted. When he got his knee hit like that, you know, it just hyper extended. Luckily, you know, it wasn't any significant tear or damage. It's you know, it's a sprain. But hear me out with this thinking now, with Katie out four to six weeks, I definitely agree with you. I think they're gonna slide in the standings. But this could end up playing in their favorite now that they might not have home court advantage, and that means they'll have Kyrie for game sevens if games go to seven, because they're gonna be the opponent the lower seed. So this might all in a in a sick way kind of work out. You know, we're here in talks of the team may pay Kyrie's fines for him to play at home or whatever the situation maybe, but um, it's an ugly situation in Brooklyn right now. We wish Katie the best and ship we're gonna have to see what happens. I mean, they got the richards On, one of the Richards owners in the league. Right now, they're already doing games in the net a Verse, so um, you know, they got all kind of stuff going on. They can afford it. Yeah, I think now more than ever. It almost four is their hand, you know what I mean? Like, now do they pay because Katie's down, They're gonna need Kyrie's Are they gonna pay these these fine? So I guess we'll have to see and you know what mat to touch on that. You You are right, some freak injuries do happen and that and Katie couldn't really get out of the way of that. But I just know when you do work out a lot of those injuries that you do have have it shortens them or they don't happen. You know. I wasn't. I wasn't a big time upper body guy, but I lifted a lot, you know, on my legs, and I had the same type of injury in the playoffs and Charlotte with that. Katie had the same type of thing. Jared Wallace fell on my knee. But I was able to play because I worked out a little bit on my legs and I got big calves and all that, and I couldn't jump with the ship strong. My legs strong as hell. You got some Popeye. If the spinach went to Popeye's legs, that's what kind of legs you got and out of all upper body a Next up, Bam is back for the Miami Heat. Miami moves to the number two spots six players averaging double figures. And we talked about it earlier this season. I think that Tyler Hero said he you know, he needs to be talked about with Luca and Trey, and you didn't agree with that. But one thing I can't say. He's been the best all around player for them this season. Should be an All Star. But talk to me about what Bam coming back to Miami means. They have they have Jimmy, to have Kyle now, they have all these other guys, but he's the cornerstone, you know, he's he's a guy to pain. They get that, get everything is going. He protects the pain. He's the guy that catches the lives, makes the big players get the team going. Bam is a big part of their team man, especially on defense as well. So um not having him as a big hole and you can't really be the team and build the team you're trying to be and and build the team trying to get to be in the championship team. You can't build that team without him. So having him back as a big part. All the other guys are rolling. Getting Jimmy back, hero was playing well as he should be an All Star this year. So with all that coming together, I think that should be good. But without Bam, none of that goes on. I agree, I think obviously not to the level, but he has a kind of a Draymond Green effect on this Miami team. You know, not necessarily the best player, but probably the most important player um with his ability to you know, he's he's more offensively aggressive on the offensive end, but then just his defensive versatility and like you said, protecting that paint. Uh, He's a big part of of what Miami does. I like this Miami team. They've been sliding under the radar the whole season. No one's really been talking about them too much or sitting at two in the East and getting stuff together at the right time. You know, we're in the dollar days of the season right now, you know, post All Star break, you know, can you expect to cite me to pick back up? But I think Miami is gonna be a problem with their experience in the past and then picking up people like p J. Tucker Um come playoff time. Alright, Next up, the Chicago Bulls. Zach Levine is due to return soon. No significant structural damage, which is good. He'll be revalue either way. Died in a week, but he'll should have him back. Laws of Ball has been sidelined UH for the last two games with some knee pain. Chicago, after this hot start, although they still are number one in the East, have lost four straight coming into this week. UH. They got a tough Calves team on Wednesday and then play the Bucks Friday. Thoughts on this Bulls team, even with a healthy team, I didn't expect him to finish them in the top three. So even though they're there right now, not the having injuries, you know, that's that's one thing that could affect anybody's seasons. One thing that you can't really predict, and that's injuries, and a lot of teams are dealing with him now. I think for them, with with with this team being new and the coach, you're having a new team and getting them off to a good start, they got to try to stay healthy and try to keep this going all year long. The Lakers Milwaukee m Brooklyn. I'm not worried about them. If they have some loads during the season, we know the type of team they could become playoff time, But the Bulls they need to have a good ride, a good winning field all season long. If they can get healthy, they can, But if they can team to have guys, especially like the Levine out uh and put too much pressure on the rods in all season that he's gonna be running down by the end of the year. So they gotta find somewhere to have these guys, the guys on the bench up and play more minutes even while guys are hurt, to try to sustain the good feeling and the winning field they have in Chicago right now. Yeah, I agree with you one thousand percent um on everything you said. You know, I think they were my surprise pick um this season. But I think they exceeded everyone's expectations, you know when they jumped into that number one spot, and they deserved it. But like you said, injuries are motherfucker and you can't there's nowhere around it. I definitely think this is a top four team. That's why said I thought they were gonna be a top four team in the East this year. Um. But I agree with you from a standpoint of that this is a team that's not gonna be a spill to turn it on. They need to be consistent. They needed to to continue what they've been doing as far as playing together and and in building something because there are so many new pieces to this team. But I still think they're gonna be okay. There's still some time. We're hat. We're at the halfway point, um, you know, so hopefully everyone can heal up and and post All Star Break they'll be fully healthy and they can really see what they're they're they're made of all right, Dallas fifth in the West right now, whatnot? At a ten, have beaten some big teams, getting hot at the right time, starting a little role right now. They got a big match up Thursday versus the league. It's the best record in the Phoenix Suns. Devin Booker drop forty eight yesterday on MLK Day, and then a rematch versus the Grizzlies at home on Sunday. Uh Luca big triple double last time they played the Grizzlies last week. I think the question for this team is is porzingis Can Porzingis be Batman Jack? And he's been He hasn't been healthy teams hot, He's healthy teams playing really well. Thoughts on this team, you can you take them serious? I mean I don't. You can't take them serious. Obviously. I love Jay Kidd. Uh, they just don't have the team there. They don't have the team even even the pieces, backup guys and the guys come up the bench, even those guys. I mean, I like Brunson. Brunson solid. Uh, He's a solid guy that that you can start a winning I mean that you can. They better be a complimentary guy to a winning team. We know lucas a n VB candidate, He's gonna continue to get better and hopefully the miles from playing uh pro professionally, So long does it catch up with him? K Poven hurt his whole career. I mean, I just to knock on him. You know, he's he's he has the size, has the skills. He just don't produce in the way that people want him to produce, you know, and um, you got a big shoes to Fiel. I mean, you know Dirt. You know, Dirt was the last big man to play there that they're expected to carry the team, and Dirt was everything and more, you know, So they need a lot of work to Pete like I said, they gotta add a lot of pieces. I don't like uh Fincy Smith. Uh. He plays hard, but he doesn't really bring anything to that team. Hardaway can shoot, but there's a lot of people in the league can shoot. You gotta bring something else to this team. You know, they really don't have a defender on the wing. I like Jay Kid, I like Luca, but I just don't like this team as a whole. They need to be reconstructed. Yeah, I mean Luca could do lucas Luca, but I definitely feel as far as the Western Conference in the league goes, this team has some holes to feel um. But nevertheless, you know they're hot right now. The Phoenix Suns have one aided to ten, best record in the league. I really like what they're doing again. They've kind of been flying under the radar to last year. They felt they were disrespected because, you know, obviously not their fault, the path to the finals, every team was injury written. So I think this year they've come out to prove like we still are that team. It wasn't luck and they aren't getting as much love and and and attention as they deserve, but hey, they don't need it. As long as they're there at the end of the day. And then Jab Jab has been playing great another the Sunday matchup in Dallas. Um, Luca has something for him last game. I know Jab is gonna be hungry for the rematch to get back Memphis. UH is in third in the West right now, so heavy week for Dallas this week. Um, But I agree with you, I really can't look at him as a as a real contender, um because the way their their roster is constructed, the Los Angeles Lakers have just not been playing well. Magic Johnson came out and said something on Twitter. Uh Russell Westbrooks said, Hey, Magic's entitled his opinion. Lebron later apologized to UH Laker fans for their team's performance via Twitter. Came out last night against the number one offense in the NBA and the Utah Jazz and really played well. This Laker team again injuries, an older roster. Do you think this team has a chance once a d is healthy to turn this season around to be a contender still, Jack, Yeah, we gotta make some adjustment with the roster. I'm not saying really make trades. I'm just saying, with the five guys you have on the court at one time, you gotta figure out what guy's going to fit together. And I don't think, like I said, I never was high on this coach anyway, but I damn show don't see him figuring it out now. And he ain't figured it out in two years almost a half we halfy through the season. So this team is definitely should be there at the end. I definitely expect them to. With the injuries and all, I feel they have the roster to figure it out to be there when it counts. They got the experience, they got the star power, and they got the guys that when the game slows down at the end of the playoffs and they can become a half court game, they have a number of guys that can get buckets. So we'll see. I mean, like I said, they still have to do it. They have to get healthy. But with the roster, looking at Lebron and a D and Russ and Carmelo and all that over there, I still think they got they got the basketball um smarts to figure it out. Yeah, this team, I felt it was built for the playoffs. They're not an eight two games season because this is the older team. It just kind of is what is there an older team. But I feel like any time you have a healthy Lebron James and a healthy Anthony Davis or as healthy as they can be in the playoffs, you add rush, you add a mellow. You added Dwight Howard's who's been playing good, uh, but leaked monk who's been playing good. Trevor Rees is getting back off an injury. I think this team, as long as they're healthy, will definitely have a chance in the playoffs and possibly a title. I just think there's so much scrutiny obviously being in l A and what people understand, Frank Vogel is on the hot seat, But these guys rebuild, have rebuilt their team the last two years, like at the end of it, like everyone's on a one year deal. So as far as from a coaching standpoint, not to make an excuse, but it's tough to get you know, we've played it's tough to find chemistry with all new guys every single time around, you know what I mean. And I think a younger Lebron could have probably gotta grasp on this a little sooner and probably put him in the right direction. But again, Lebron knows ship. As long as we're healthy in the playoffs, that doesn't really matter where we are, We're gonna have a chance. But I think people underestimate how important chemistry is on team. So if this team is healthy with the name they have, like you said, Jack, with the roster, this team is built for the playoffs, and as long as they're uh, you know, all available, I think they still have a a good shot at at at doing whatever they're supposed to do. One thing I wanted to add to was Stanley Johnson. He's on his third ten day. They pulled the slick one and cut him after the first and brought him back for two more. But I think he's the type of player they need, a young, hungry, athletic god because they don't have any of those, you know, Like I said, they have all They have some old dogs, but they're kind of like hound dogs, now you know what I mean, Like Trev and all them dudes used to be dogs. But they're gonna have to save that for the playoffs. So they need young, um, young guys like Stanley Johnson to come in and just do all the dirty works like he did last night against Utah. Really going right at Rudy Gobert. By the way, did you see Russ dunk on Gobert? Have you seen the highlight of it? Yeah? And and and and that's what excite people like he do stuff like that, then come back and have thirty nine turnovers. Right for me? But I'm you know, I'm I'm want to know people, and I've always been how was I take the good with the bad, So I really don't care about the turnovers. But when you do stuff like that, it just makes you think, Man, every time you go to the basket, if you locked in, he could do that every time. M m m m m m m m. So yeah, like I said, I think this team will be okay as long as they could be healthy when it matters the most. Next up on the Radar, presented you by DraftKings Big Matchup Wednesday, Grizzlies at Bucks UH two m VP candidates and John Moran and Joannice. The m v P race so far, Steph Curry is still favored at one and a half to one, Janice is slightly over three to one odds, Katie ten to one. He was seven to one before his injury, and John is fourteen to one Currier, Jannie have a unique opportunity to step into a class of three time m v P winners. Uh The list is Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Jordan's, Bill Russell Lebron, James Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Moses Malone on Jack. Out of those two guys, if you could see the future, we're halfway through it at the end of the year, who you think it's gonna win? If it was just between the honest and stuff, I didn't know Moses was three times. I ain't crazy, Yeah, I ain't know that stuff all day long, stuff all day long. He should have wanted last year, you know, with the way he carried that team with everything that was going through last year, and to and to start off the way they started and to have this team as one of the top teams again in the league, not only West Carforce in the league again. It says a lot about stuff and what he brings to the game and how dominant he is or no question, Greek is the most dominant player we've seen, said Shack. But Steph deserves his kudos and I think this is the year to getting number three bro. I agree, Man, welcome to the family, our brother Kevin Gardinett, who launched his show KG certified over the MLK weekend. Excited to have him in the family. Man, We're trying to build something pretty nice over here. Jack Tholson add people like Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, our own Jelani McCoy to the Showtime roster. Man. It's good to have our brothers are part of this roster. Man. You know, it's just it's just built in the Showtime Basketball brand. You know that's really it more education. Uh, one thing about our the five guys that you named, um, that's what Showtime basketball. We all have experience. We're not speaking from what we think is going supposed to happen, or what we think it's going on in the locker room or what somebody else said. We know because we've been there. So you're getting you're getting it from the horses mouth, and you can't really have a more solid roster guys with experience to Hall of Famous. You know, four NBA champions, you know, five guys that played multiple years in the league. So you know, um, we're winning. We're winning. Enjoyed this teaser. His first episode featuring his brother Paul Pierce more Clay come back, you check them out to be off for two years? Two years? Be solid. Just think because you already see the Warriors, They're gonna be scared. If you're starting team today, Luca or Job. I mean right, I'm like, oh right now? Are you watching the ten Days watching? Man? We should have got a three day man. If you put Katie and Janice in the game on one on one? Who you got Katie? Be honest? You know why you put them on? Alcatrash Man and this ones know who you were in Roger's Park? Were Rogers? Who you hid? That's what I'm talking about. So that's what I'm talking about. Next Step fan Questions one of our favorite segments, Corey j underscore p g A, what are you too the most proud of since starting all the smoke? Good question for me. I'm just proud of the fact that we're doing something that a lot of people didn't expect us to be doing, and we're a war winning We're just not doing the show for the hell of it. Every mids a million, everybody got a podcast these days, but to be part of it with a showtime to be a war winning podcast, to be a podcast that the culture looks too as far as sports and entertainment, it's a blessing. Man. And to have people getting all the smoke tattoos, I think we came a long way. So all that's a blessing to me. Definitely, man, Shout out showtime, shout out our team over at Malka. I think we've assembled, um a great little team and and and the product is speaking everything you said, and then also allowing you know, like we always talk about a platform, a safe having for people to come talk their ship and tell their stories, uh, without it being twisted up or or or you know, looking for a clickbait. Um. And then also I just think inspiring people. You know, so many people you know come up to both of us talking about you know, hey because of you. You know, we're either starting the podcast or doing this, this is that. And then you know, talking to people over the showtime, everyone's always pitching like yo, this is our version of all the smoke or this is your X, Y and Z. So I definitely feel, you know, we've met left an imprint in this space, man, and we you know, we owe it to first of all, you know me and you, but you know we, uh, we have a great team around us, man, so keep pushing FS underscore a rod. Who do you think is going to take over the league after King James retires in five day eight years? I don't think Brown would be in there that much longer. But whose NBA is it next? Uh? Jack? In your opinion? I mean it's I've been going back and forth from year to year, Katie Braun, Katie Braun, But with no Braun, it's gonna definitely Katie. You know, it's gonna be Katie and Johannese. It's gonna always be two guys. And without Braun, is gonna be Katie and Janice and Janice on their heels while they're in the league. So I don't know, I think you could throw Step up in that category too, But yeah, no, I agree, it's it's it's uh, it'll be interesting to see once that wave is gone, whose NBA it's going to be. You know, Yanna still has a good run, but k D and Steph you know, God Willing probably got another five years. I want to see after that wave, like, who's five years of the level of the route? I think they still probably could play more. But after that group of guys are gonna it'll be interesting to see whose league it is. Then next up, t underscored Dull if swapping jersey's post game was a thing in y'all's career, who were a few of the guys you would have seek out? Well, we did that anyway. I don't know why they acting like it's new. We did that a number of times. We didn't. Sometimes we didn't just trade swhere they as jerseys, but we was like bring bring how you're trying to bring me the jersey to my locker room and I do the same. So we did that a lot um. I think the only person that I missed was I was I wasn't playing that year and uh, I wasn't able to get his because I wasn't playing with Michael Jordan in two thousand to two thousand and one, two thousand two hours on injury list, and I actually got to his locker room after the game to get the jerseys. I mean to get a poster sign. I didn't have a jersey, but if I could ever do a jersey swap, it would have been with him J M J. Yeah, I missed him. J By a year. Um. Yeah, but like you said, it wasn't so much taking off the jerseys and taking pictures a half court. It was what you said it was. It was in the post game or pre game in the locker room sending over that note to their trainer. Man, I was lucky. I got some dope, a cod shock. You know, I got to play with a lot of great players. So um, I would have probably asked to get anybody, probably to get Lebron's probably for me. I got his rookie jersey. Bro nice. Next up, morning Underscore Hooper fifteen. Who is your coach of the year right now? Good question. My favorite coach man is Billy Diving for the Bulls. Man. I think he deserves coach of the year. What he's doing with these guys a new team, bringing these guys together and have them buy in so early and get off to a good start right now is looking like Billy Donovan. Yeah, I agree. Um. I had four coaches that came to mind when this question was asked. Billy Donovan was one of them. Bernie Bickerstaff Jr. Um, Monty Williams, and oh Eric Spoelster. Um. You know, with the with the injury riddled team, guys in and out. You know, now they're second in the East. So those are the four guys that came to mind. Um question. I think when he's Stow Stow, Steve Nash in there because he's dealing with a lot too. You know, he's dealing with a lot over there to Kyrie and keeping James and Katie happy and keeping his team all right, you gotta give Steve Nash and props too for being able to keep all this stuff together. I give him Babysitter of the Year. It's a lot of ship. But would it be crazy? Is they, like you said, if they still have the talent to with all this said? When the championship, Ye, I was watching ESPN earlier today and Stephen A. Smith said it wouldn't be good for the league if Brooklyn won because, just as we said, there's been a lot of ship going on over there, and if they win with a lot of ship, it's going to open the floodgates for other players to be on some I play when I want to. We still got a chance type ship, so I kind of felt it kind of didn't But just an interesting take. Last question A land dot As then who would you guys start a franchise within their prime? Steph Curry or Magic Johnson? Both of them? Either one. You came missed two completely different types of players, but agreed, you know, arguably the two greatest point guards, all due respect everyone else. So I'll take either one. Magic with my favorite player growing up. So that's one of my favorite players now. So both greats reactions Jack first round of the NFL Playoffs are done for the record. I was five and one this weekend. I only lost the Raider game and that was just that California in me, but ship they had a chance to win. And um, let's talk first about my forty Niners over your Cowboys. What happened? Oh, that's what happened. It's funny how the Cowboy fans every year is their year. This year that was supposed to be their year, and Dad was supposed to do this, this and that. What they've proven is they cannot be trusted. And my Niners came in into Jerry, into Jerry's Jerry zone and just man handle them boys. Beautiful thing to see. First of all, First of all, since we're talking about it, it was not a man hand Okay, First of all. We shot ourselves in the foot of the game. It wasn't no y'all. Y'all couldn't score after the first quarter. Okay, let's just keep it real. Okay, y'all had a lucky verse at the end of the game with Debo. But listen, we shot ourselves in the foot. We are we are got a team full of babies, their bonus babies. They don't prepare like they should. They spawl and I'm tired of this ship. I can't be a champion on every level and like a team that ain't one ship since I was born. I'm tired, jack um. We scored ten points in the first, six points in the second, seven points in the third, and that's all we needed. You guys got lucky and got ten in the in the fourth quarter. But it was a motherfucking man handling out there. It was not a man handling. We beat a man handled y'all track and y'all gonna u y'all gonna be home with us next week. So it don't matter if y'all lose this week and next week you're still losing. All that matters is we beat the cowboys. See that, that's the same we're so good that people season which is built beating us. No, y'all think you're so good. I'm just let y'all know, y'all really aren't that good. The party, not as the party, not as big as highlight. Y'all show it every year. Is one highlight y'all got. Y'all show it every year in the playoffs, the past, the Clark that's it. That's all y'all got. I think we got more rings too, but who's counting next? Disagree you're not. We're tied Rams over the Cardinals. I didn't really believe in the Cardinals, to be honest with you. They had a good run at the beginning season. Obviously, losing Hopkins was tough, but never really trusted them. Rams are looking good though, tough matchup next week. But thoughts on that game. Yeah, when they came and beat us in UM in Dallas a couple of weeks ago, I didn't believe him then, you know what I mean. I didn't believe in because we had two players out and uh they look good though, but without Hopkins is impossible to win games in the playoffs. He's one of the best receivers in the league. J J. Watt was coming off a show the Searcher. He tried to give all he had. That team wasn't healthy. They still needs another piece in that office and on defense as well. So um, the Rams are rolling right now. They were at home. O'Dell's giving them a new life. Cooper Cup is breaking records with the best receiver in the league and their quarterback best Stafford. He's he's coming into the quality that everybody said he would be once you get out of Detroit. I love the way they're looking. I'm real high on them right now. Bucks another dominating performance over the Eagles, kind of showing that you know, everyone's gonna say they were gonna miss a B or a B was saying he was they were gonna miss Yeah. He only want saying that they came out business as usual. Mike Evans had a big game. Tom Brady keeps doing what he's doing. Eagles. Jalen Hurts, I'm already hearing they should they should be in the search for another quarterback. Thoughts on that game, and and and Jenden Hurt someone that can lead the Eagles. Jaden Hurts was hurt. Okay, he had a bad angle. He badlet ca move and he went out there and play. That team is not good, man, They're just not good. I don't know why everybody was Eagles Eagles. That man, the Eagles not good. All right. They got a lot of work to do. Some of those guys on the defense as old as hell that they're still holding on too. They need to go ahead and then just and kind of bring some more youth. They got a great receiver and Smith coming from Alabama that they didn't get him the ball to the second half. So that team has a lot of work. They gotta get healthy, hoping they'll be good a year two. But I like Jane Hurts Chief's over Steelers Ben La Roethlisberger's possible last game in the end fell Chiefs getting hut at the right time made it look pretty easy. You think they have a chance to go back to the Super Bowl, Jack, I think they do. Their offense is too powerful and they added on They still added on weapons to the offense. You know, so the defense is not bad either, but the offense is unbelievable. Hard to stop. Um. They they already went through they little ups and downs during the season. They got out of it and they're starting to play high and they and they started playing planning with a good field and on a good note right into the playoffs. And that's the way you want to be it for a team to just make it to the super Bowl, to go through their ups and downs earlier the season. Now four or five game wins in a row, you have they in trouble. The league is in trouble. Agreed. Bengals over Raiders. Raiders had a chance, couldn't pull it off. That was my one loss this weekend. Uh, Bengal's tough test. Next week we'll talk about them Bills over Patriots. The Bills team looks really good, man. Thoughts on them Bills got a lot of weapons over there, Man, they got a lot of weapons. Quarterback is young, Digs is out there bawling. I just like that team, man. They they they're not flashy. They're not a team that that's all over the news and all over the sports channels. But they get the job done. Man. And Uh, their team that everybody has to reckon will come coming the playoffs. This team from really winning. Agreed. Next weekend is the divisional round. We got the number four seed Bengals going to Tennessee. Derrick Hendry looks to be back who you got in that game? Tall task for the Bengals. You know they got a lot of weapons over there, man in Tennessee. But I'm pulling for Burrow and Chase. I like the young Taandam. I want to see the Bangles upset some people and be to go to the state warrior team of the playoffs this year. I wanted to go and upset some people. But it's gonna be hard. So you have the Bengals, I have the Bengals. I'm gonna take the Titans. That's gonna be your first loss. Next up, Camping Niners, My Niners, the sixth seed at the number one Green Bay Packers. We know, we know who winning this game, ain't no question. Even you know that. Now I don't know. I think the Nathers are gonna win. I mean, I like Aaron Rodgers and what they got going on over there. But we're different bro defensively, offensively like a cowboy fan. Now we did no but but we actually win. As long as Garoppolo doesn't lose the game for us, we're gonna be straight. But that's gonna be a tough one. So you're gonna be A. I got Green Bay winning by seven in It's gonna be a good boy, I kind of winning by seventy. That sounds like a disgruntled cowboy fan. Right next Sunday, we got the number four seed Rams going down to Tampa Bay. Rams beat them earlier in the season in l A. They're going to Tampa Bay to see Tom Brady and them boys who you got. That's gonna be a good one because the Rams ain't gonna be able to run the ball like they expect to, and the and and the Rams are going to get a lot of pressure on Tom. Brady ain't be able to sit back in that pocket like he wants to. So it's gonna be a good game. If I had to pick one, I'm going with the Rams. And the Rams are too much. This might be their year Tampa Bay. His offensive line is banged up, center, banged up, left tackle banged up, and they did put a lot of pressure on Brady last week. So if that defensive front line Donald and boys can touch Tom's chin, Yeah, But I'm I'm gonna go with Tampa Bay as much as I like the Rams too, but it's just hard to go against Brady and the offense looked good, but I think it's gonna be predicated upon and they handled that Rams defensive line. I think the game of the weekend, if it's not the Niners Packers, it'll be the Bills visiting the Chiefs. Who you got I'm going Chiefs man. The offense is just too much. Like I said, the offense. They got a great offense. They're rolling right now. They've been playing well on both friends of the ball, not making too many mistakes. Uh. This team, like I said that, they know when to start playing well at the right time, and I just see them continue to roll to the super Bowl. Agreed, Bills are tough, playing well that I think this will be the game of the weekend. I think it's gonna be a shootout. Uh, Josh Allen over there with the Bills a lot the weapons. But again, my homes Jack, you have a chance to go one in three this weekend. So we're gonna have to check back after this weekend and see how you did. Um. The only game we agreed on is the Chiefs and Bills, so we will have to see what's happening. Something that happened uh last week and we didn't get a chance to touch on it. Thoughts on this clown little chick that Drake allegedly messed around with and put some hot sauce in the condom and she got the condom out of the garbage and tried to uh impregnant herself and got a hot box. Thoughts what's going on in this world? Bro? Let's see, they say certain things about you when you speak on women like this. You know what I mean? When? When? When? And that's why I said, people gotta get out your feelings and look at the man deal reality. It's women like that out here. Man, It's like it's just like it's men that prey on insecure women. You got women out here that's trying to come up with trying to get pregnant. It's women are a lot of women have a motive. Right with a guy like Drake. I'm glad he on his toes because you know, things like that did happened to me. You know what I'm saying with people trying to get pregnant, trying to have babies, But it's just sad that people are so low to want to have a baby by somebody that don't have a baby with you. You know what I'm saying like that, like that's crazy. But then again, you have that much confidence in yourself? Are you? Are you you that secure in yourself where the only way you can have a life or be successful by doing something devious or doing something shade it like that, like it's it's it's men and women like that all over the world. I just try to stay away from him, sad man sad days. And she almost I want to say, Initially there was rumors that she was gonna try to uh take him to court over it, Like where do you feel like you stand on getting a condom out of the garbage? And because he put hot house, because he knew you were a clown? Try didn't pregnant yourself, and now you want to sue him? And then and then that's then that's thing. So that goes to show you ain't got no brains. So I ain't gonna like it because you're smart, because you dumb. His hell, even think of some ship like that too. You probably ain't that pretty, so it ain't you. It ain't your beauty, all your brains, so I gotta be your booty, okay, So if it ain't your beauty, it's your booty. All right, so take care of your booty because I I don't see you going nowhere with your brains and your looks. Like you said, this is this is not something new. This is maybe just the first time talked about it because Drake was funny enough and smart enough to put hot sauce. But this ship happens a lot. You know. You hear stories about women doing stuff like this or on the flip side again, guys being clowns and you know, trying to impregnant checks. So scary times. Wrap it up. When you're done with it, flush it and uh man, have a good day. What's Burning is available every week on Showtime Basketball YouTube and on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok and Show Basketball. See y'all next week.
