The volume.

Good morning, Happy Monday.

It's five to twenty in the morning, your favorite sports show here to keep you up to date everything in the sports world, especially basketball.

I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells.

During this morning by my two brothers to my left, Bishop Pendous my right, my brother tig Fellas.

Good morning, how y'all doing. I'm saying, what up though?

Listen, man, a.

Lot of a lot of sports man, great great weekend of sports man. It's only right we get straight to it for show. We're gonna start at the guard. You know what I'm saying. The Knicks beat the sleeves off the Bucks yesterday one forty to one oh six. Jaylen Bruston went crazy yesterday. He had forty four to six. Kat was killing two. We had thirty and eighteen, Yannis had twenty four to thirteen, and Dame had twenty two.

But man, is this the best dude on the league?

Man? I know we go back and forth with this conversation every single week, but when they start to putting numbers up like this, it's time, man, It's time we acknowledge it.

Bro I make shout out of them.

That was a good dub, you know, what I'm saying, I just I'm waiting for the seven game series.

That was a good win for the next time. Okay, they make it, can ask this year he's gonna you just gonna say, it's just another rec to his game.

Okay, it don't make me feel like, oh my god. Yeah, you gotta stamp them as the best duo in the league.

It is what it is. Good dove for sure.

For shure Man, Jali Bruston Todd Mellow for most forty point games nick history. Is he already a Knicks legend. Yeah, we were just talking about it before the show started.

Yeah, he had a Knicks legend. Now he's probably the best player since Mellow. Cat making an argument about it, you know, this year with Cat being who he being, scoring, how he's going playing, how he's playing, he's definitely snapping his legacy up there with New York. But Jalen Brunson Man, he the go to guy nixt legend, so I would say he's superstar now doing what he's doing in New York. Yeah, he's most definitely a superstar, most definitely. And one thing that's dope about Jayler Brust.

I know we criticized him about him taking the extension for the team early on or whatever. The money the money left on the table, Well, so far that's able for them to ford Cat.

So listen, Jalen Brush.

It should definitely be loved by New Yorker since he did solid like getting all their bread, but allows you to have a hell of a team they got put together right now. Man, they beat the sleeves off the Bucks yesterday. Yeah, I think they're the best doer. I just like you, Jaylen Brunson. I gotta see him in the playoffs hopefully. Like I said, it's an injury thing.

If they can make it to the playoffs healthy, that's a real, real special team they got.

They can possibly you know, win the East.

But for some reason, I don't think they're gonna be healthy going to the playoffs.

I don't wish that on nobody. But they play a lot of minutes.

Man, most definitely, Hey, listen, if at all is today cat far seeing my NBA for sure.

Yeah, it's a landslide.

Him and Jaylen now Ey shot this question because you know the front court they be kind of weird sometimes. Are you taking cat a yok or you're taking cat ookis Because then you gotta think about Whereanni would be in that situation. Think where Jason Tatum would be in that situation.

Yeah, but NBA NBA, they both should make first team on NBA. Damn they probably won't, probably be honest in Yo Kic, but cat To.

Makes second team. That's crazy. He deserved first team on NBA, but he's gonna make second.

Yeah, because you look at the forwards, like you said in the East people we just mentioned, you don't know how things could go in that situation.

You look at it.

I don't know, man, That's what I'll be saying. I don't know how this should go. Does it go off the team record and how good the players playing, or is it just straight off the player.

Like both all the above sometimes as well.

But YOK, right there too.

I'm saying Yo Kic and Cats should be right there too.

The problem is gonna be you're gonna have to have Jason Titum in the r n B because he's gonna have the stats and they're gonna have the record as well. You got to pick between Jason Titum and Jannis in that situation, or do you just say Yanni's the second team?

I mean Janice is okay being on the second team.

I mean, none of them care.

They care, but if you are NBA for contract purposes, you to make all NBA whatever you get.

I don't think they sucked up about it.

They all want to be all NBA.

But I think Jason want first team more than anybody. Those put a lot of smile on my nigga name.

Yeah, yeah, that would be crazy if if after what happened with the Olympics, if he come out here and killed average twenty six seven, he gets second team on NBA.

Bro, that's that's gonna be a help of slight.

Jason having a battle a lot, a lot of ship this year.

Man, we never talked about that. When they say he was a softistself together.

Oh yeah, Brandon jen is crazy. Shout out to b J Yeah, b j R.

Guy too. But you out of pocket, you out of pocket.

Bro.

Put that as a caption on I G.

I said, oh yeah, text him, yeah you saw, yeah, you saw.

Saint Louis soft kid all right, teachers about to turn the nigga into.

A lunatic for real. But I don't understand it. Though, I don't get it. I never understood it. I the way you hell, Tom.

I think it's because the way he carried himself is kind of like, you know, chill in the media, they do it commercials and stuff, but he just be chilling like Celtics that we know from the past, like Larry Bird talked a bunch of shit, cash ship, Paul Pierce talk a bunch of shit, KG talk a bunch of ship and then he the next superstar and he just kind of chill. He don't do that. He don't talk shit. He just played, just do his job, kill and go home. So what you expect from the Celtics is ship talking Brondo talk. Ship was aggressive talking ship type players.

I get that, bro, But you know we don't use the best words on our show either. Sometimes.

But when you say, like Jason is from that for real, So when you call a nigga soft like that, it kind of hit him different.

Nah.

No, I'm one hundred percent for sure. I'm with y'all. I don't think that. I don't think he's soft at all. That ship hit that's kind of ship you funk around.

You're sitting there on the street with yeah, like that, bro, what time you ownt.

Like, because I'm like, damn he's killing, Bro, what you like, if you just wanted to talk ship, just say I think you know what I mean? It should be more aggressive.

I think you have said he is the most polite so together except like like cooler, like he the coolest celticether.

Because y'all was born. I'm like, damn, the softest bro. That's a hell of a And I mean, you know, l a lingo different than our lingo out here, so maybe it's different.

That's pretty universe. Definitely.

People misuse our words. They do.

But if you're gonna sayfhood, they're gonna show you what they were. I don't think he sought was the word he was looking for already to it is that if he was being right Rod, we will complaining that he's not being himself because that's not what he's displaying for us.

It's like, what do you want him to do? You want Hi to be itself and chill.

You just want HI to be.

Extra keep doing this, keep killing, keep killing, and if you know him, you know like yeah, yeah.

Yeah, he really really a dig, really asked the ship. He want to say to y'all, He really just said to me, so no, for sure.

Yeah, So he's just be chilling.

Bro.

If he if I can honestly say, if he didn't care about his brand, Oh that nigga loves his brand.

Nothing on his altar in the brand nothing. It'll probably be ug god a lot of ship because he is real disrespectful. So better be glad. Ship is bad right now, one hundred percent.

He's crazy.

Got a lot of endorsements, Bro, he played with a lot of chickens.

He's chilling.

I'll just say.

I just hope at some point in time we get the girls on. In the Jat episode, Man, don't you're saying right now? You can't that for sure? Man shouts, all parts evolved. Man, let's talk about the real game.

That's right.

The patients beat the ship out the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday one on eight to ninety three eight on the board, I out limit Tyree's get some of my boy, you know the hamstring get tricky like that, take up.

With I'm sure, yeah, you know what I'm saying, talking loud to talk like Luther Van Droz today.

Nah, I had a good joint this morning. I had that Cleveland pack of my butt this morning. It was Magne Tyre's Yeah, didn't play the second half. Nim hardware crazy straight in the second half, nineteen se had eighteen. Darres Garland was hooping. Yesterday he had twenty. Dobin Ben tried to slow Night yesterday. This quarter, the first quarter he had nineteen. But that's because we locked it up yesterday. You know what I'm saying, Patients is ain't way streak. Yeah. I don't know what your Hawks is doing right now, but we are setting up.

I think we topped five.

Oh yeah, we're right there at five where the Hawks at Damn go crazy?

We whooping ship right now. Nineteen y'all just lost your best player.

Cool now, right, you know what I'm saying, Take couple weeks. Ouf, We got Nimby back. You know what I'm saying, He hold it down. Cool, Aaron throw the white back this week too.

All right? Hey, Jayleen Johnson, if you want to come to a real team, pull up, bro. We got the picture trading for your game nods out here.

You know.

He just went to yesterday. He said it was dry. He got left. You don't get chicken to leave im.

Even lout got cold shout Jack.

Let him. Well.

These niggas are telling you the heartbeatably didn't even know Nigga s.

You got some chicken in left to go?

Hey man, that was a crazy game after that. Honestly, the Cavs shot Terylor three yesterday. I don't think they'll shoot that back again. We played but ship got wiki yesterday. Shout to the Pacers, whooping ass who played him again on Tuesday. But I wanted to ask you. I know you feel strongly by interinem part. You think he's a starting PG.

Uh, yeah, he could be, but I like him coming off the bench and bringing that energy. He's a great defender, capable scorer. We know what he did last year in the playoffs. I'm a fan of his game, but the defensive side of the balls would makes him special most definitely. He's probably all definitely best perimeter defender, him and Aaron Smith. But yes, I mean now it's another opportunity for him to step up. He plays well when he's the primary ball handler, yeah, like last year.

So hopefully he.

Comes out and plays and keep you on your little hot streak, y'all. I love don't disrespect his name.

You know how people do. Yeah, a little podcast, a little podcast. It's crazy because be the primary ball handler. He really don't have pass so he be having moments up like dang, but he can get some more VC.

He can pass though, he can make plays.

He's a playmaker, but like you said, he's not like a crazy io player now. But the way the Pacers play is good for him. You know, they play fast, open the court. He can drive and kick and you gotta see coming them will kind of like point forwards. It will make plays and stuff, and he can knock down shots.

So if it's imperfect, you're trying and bet on the game Tuesday, Tuesday.

Yeah, now you should call me yesterday. We already won. I know we ain't about to win on Tuesday. The whole point of this was just to split this one. The Cavaliers. They lost too many games this year, so I'm celebrating for a reason. But they got like five six losses. Yeah, they will not lose on Tuesday US.

So you have your whole Cleveland gear on today.

This is about it. You feel me? Came to the mail shot the Chris respect. Yeah, thirty three and five. Yeah, I'm not expected to Tuesday with so good.

As my Hawks team. That's what's up. Y'alla beat them though, Yeah, that was what like, y'alla beat them?

Lock that up, man, If you all move on to the next game, you're not going hell are you taking the Cleveland team over there?

Over the Hawks beat the ship out of them.

Yeah, crazy, a lot of them.

More say he found only.

The only beating us they had Lebron the thirty bombs. Let's WoT them up. We got takeing d G two All Stars.

Like, it's like.

I thought you was with this Hogs team for sure, thirty piece.

That's like, especially like we already you played like Garland.

Garland can't guard Jeff is probably too strong, but everywhere else Donovan Mitchell.

Yeah, we used to guard niggas like him already locking.

That sham God, Sham God for re guarding girl wash hisself wash.

Right God and Paul uh Moible even match up Alan Jared Allen.

I love al but give me stretched.

Craziest st right now in the playoffs this.

Year, God said he died.

That's why I still doctor. They got good team.

I got them good viege.

With the mini bass of it, they can roll to death. That's what we did yesterday the third quarter, rolling the dead.

George George's didn't play that game he got.

Shout out to my guys Kenyakins and them boy he rotation players and Hillo Bird.

I love Currisselberg game man.

You know it's crazy.

I thought we was about to lose his Karl turns into Kobe Bran every time he played us, he averaged twenty one against the last year.

Oh yeah, I knew that he was watched.

He he is nice and shout out to uh he signed with Anthon with Kyrie. Yeah, shout to Kyrie.

Know what I'm saying the.

Jones and ship that that damn uh Hawks team sending three All Stars, So I guess you could see in three this year from that saying he I'm saying four if y'all did, because hockey Bro just the same thing. Oh there is Garland Shore of God. You deserve to be All Star bro. Blow this ship up, bro if you yeah, he do. Evan Mobley for sure. If them niggas made it bro, y'all for sure, that for sure it should be a lot.

Then I forgot about that.

I wouldn't be mad if they made it. Yeah, they're also going to be boring as hell though.

Yea, yeah, we was lit.

Come on, we got the scientist see Paul Millsap love what I'm saying now, what I mean?

We was lit because like you got to think the Cavs they ain't seen Lebron and the like, they ain't had years. They go to the finals with nine years, bro fires in a row. Calv has been lit before, Atlanta never was lit. Besides, Dominique had been to That's sure that is true.

That's true.

It was like the fucking Hawks. What they went and ship?

Nobody expected ship like that, so they went like eighteen in a row and shit, they was like the Hawks with these niggas.

Ain't nobody on here really cold cold?

Like they all just cool? No, I feel like y'all was cold cold, Bro. I just thought y'all was out of pocket of the league. David Sterns should have should have blocked that, Bro. He wasn't even a commissioner, Bro, He's supposed to that. He told what he did to Chris Ponder like he should.

Have did that.

It just it messed everybody up.

You lead ol, hell of an All Star, but you, Paul Bro really should have been a lock.

Bro. That really should have been it.

Bro.

All four, Bro, we love You're still hooping. Bro made it the Master have made Kyle got in because somebody got hurt.

There's so many other teams out these just you're telling me it was woman. Shit, Bro, I was Bro, It's not another nigga didn't make you.

I ain't see him. They come on, man, Shout to the hogs, Man, shout to my pats. Get that dub. You know what telling me. It is Jason Tatum. Yesterday we went crazy. He had thirty eight. They barely got by the Pelicans yesterday one twenty one nineteen again thirty and left for JT. Por Zikas had nineteen eleven. De John Tay Murray was killing. He had twenty six and nine. Zion had sixteen, and then Tim Murph had thirty six. Yesterday Celsas are six and five the last eleven games. Anything you'd be concerned about. I mean, I know they got the one point victory over the Pelicans yesterday, but.

I mean that Pelicans are different team with Zion trade Murder, with all the guys see they play, John say, they a different team, Like we know that's a better team than with their record shows the guys healthy most definitely. But the Celtics, I think they're just having an up and down moment. I think they probably getting bored with the game a little bit. Yeah you know what I mean, they trying new line, I was trying to play. They just kind of getting bored with the game.

After all Star Break they had turned it back up and we can't see the team that we're going to see in the playoffs going forward. But right now, they're just trying to make it to the All Star Break most definitely, like you said, they just ready to get to the playoffs. Bro, they know what time it is. This is just boring to them anyway, shout design. You know what I'm saying, return after one game suspension. It's just because it can't being like for the team flights amongst other things.

How you'll feel about that. I know what you talk about.

Picture the picture of that boy said, this is what got him caught. It was in that Wendy's line.

That was entail, don't listen. That was.

You know.

Why they're playing with him, Wendy. That's stupid.

Tell ya know it's all Look at that.

Nigga Connie last episode.

At least see what kind of cart.

Delete that page, bro, I do that order that old ass car.

I was crying, Man, I loved the best man No ways, I had to be hic broke, Delete that page, bro.

Shout design, though, Bro, he did this thing yesterday.

That's that's hilarious.

Man, oh man, that's the best ship in the world. Man. Yes, yes, he is most definitely done New Orleans.

He goes go somewhere else and play.

Just mine the slow as Hill the super Track, as Zion has done in New Orleans. I think we all agree that it's time for him to get out of there. But he's so special when he plays. But like we don't know, Shout to John Whever he go, he's gonna kill. Yeah, shout out to John Fossil though, good question, free freakingsy Man for Shure.

Westbrook went crazy yesterday, came back with a victory over the match yesterday won twelve to one oh one. Yokis had nineteen, eighteen and nine. Russell Westbrook was killed yesterday. He had twenty one and ten and seven. Slay was hooping yesterday he had twenty five, especially dead when he had sixteen and ten.

Westbrook has been killer.

But before we talk about that, I wanted to give you your credit.

You know what I'm saying.

Aaron Gordon returned last night and one thing you suggested was, you know what I'm saying, good coach Michael Malone was gonna make that decision if they were still Rockets. You know what I'm saying, Slow him back into the lineup. It came off the bench yesterday, and I mean they've.

Been playing well with Westbrook and the starring lineup, and I told you he really turns into the point forward for them because he kind of played like Aaron Gordon at six three, but he also a point guard, and it loses up ball handling duties for Jamal Murray, who's really a two guard. But now people are starting to say that, y'all, Kitchen, Westbrook is a dynamic due on Denver because the way he's been playing lately, it's starting to look like that. Like the stats that they putting up. They both damn they're getting triple doubles every night. Who knows he's gonna do well out there? Yeah, they starting a hoop, and I think Westbrook's starting to get his foot under them, looking like the player that we once fell in love with back in the day. Uh you know the Lakers, that little stint with them kind of messed them up. Well in people eyes, we know what kind of player he was, but we're starting to see it again playing winning basketball.

Most definitely. It's crazy. It's what Russell Westbrook.

He started six years old, bro, Yeah you're sixteen seventeen for him to still be killed like this, like you said, after having them years and smuggle his name, people thought he was done.

Bro, It's great to see him kill like this to help a team too.

Man, if when Jamal Murray is actually, like you said, playing off the ball like this is, they're a different team for him.

For the minimum or whatever he's on right now, I know he's feel and he like hooping like he's playing and started making what three or four million out to Westbrook. Man, he definitely earning his money. He definitely gonna get higher pay that next year for sure.

I know we talked about this weekie as well, But you know what I'm saying, barring the Moose to this team he fights is still a dangerous team.

Why they're playing right now? Out? Yeah, bro it out? Now you got Aaron Gordon coming off the bench.

Yeah, that's it's a different They're a different team and they might be a team to be wrecking with in the West for real though.

Most definitely. Yeah.

I look at the stat and I meant to bring it up with the Pacers who Nimpar. I looked at the net writings as far as like onner off the court number one Yolks two, which Andrew Nimpar, which I thought was crazy. But when Yolkach was on that court, like you said light night in the office for him.

Nineteen eighteen or nine, Like that's crazy. They're dangerous team.

I don't think too many teams really want to see them in the seven game series for show Now, when you got the best player in the world, straight up, that's a tough thing to deal with. For show, whoa The Kings, Kings and the patris undfeat in twenty twenty five, I got to win over the Bulls yesterday, Darrion Fox had twenty six and nine. The Bonus had twenty two and fifteen. Zackly Bean were crazy and a loss, so he had thirty six and ten. You think the Kings makes no noise out west Man? You think that can make the playoffs? I mean, like the Bean, I guess they back, you know, the coaching change. I guess, Hey, it looked like it was Mike Brown.

That shouldn't matter when you got when your guys believe that you believe in them, they different.

Just being a coach and trying to learn the ways.

In my second year, you gotta start, you know, speaking beliefing to the guys and treating them a little different. I think that's what Doug Christie is doing. Instead of talking down to him or making them feel away, He's like lifting them up. Now everybody believe in playing at high levels, and you can tell that they really rock with him.

You sund Like Jimmy Butler on the Instagram post when he was hoping the kid at the coffee. He was just like, see, this is what good bosses do. They poured into their employees, not break them down.

That's a fact, man, And that's some stuff I had to learn, you know, still growing as a coach. You got to learn that kind of stuff. So seeing somebody like Doug Christie who came was a former player, and you know you're kind of tough on people because you want to do how you know, man, you so good. I would have did it like this, Why you can't do it because everybody not you, you know what I mean? So him to pour into his guys and just letting them be themselves and see how they're responding, getting wins, playing well, playing at a high level.

It might be his job for the future for sure.

It's just easier. I feel like playing with a player coach who's relatable to you. That's probably all was broth for real, for real, because I think Mike Brown is a good coach. Yeah, yeah, I just didn't fit that organization for real.

So I had some sources reach out to me. Last week we brought a situation. I don't necessarily think that was a player's thing. I think, yeah, as you can tell about the response from the coaches when it happened, everybody was just openly speaking about all that's fucked up, how that happened.

Yeah, that wasn't a player's thay.

I think over time it became that, but it didn't start off as a player situation, and it never.

Start off like that.

It's like he probably he probably had some questions for the higher ups and probably disagree with the higher ups about some things.

And then you know, not to be like that.

But the higher ups they pay everybody, so they'll come talk to the star player. They come talk to people and just like do you like how this is going?

Do you like?

And it could be one thing. Yeah, you know, the player could have been like, I mean, it's cool. It might not be the response they're looking for it. You know, if you just be like he cool, yeah, sorry, or.

Have multiple conversations with that person, but like you sure you don't like anything get something that wrong with it? Now you got nearing Fox on Twitter explained like, no, I didn't say nothing, just like he cool, like.

I ain't tripping in that one incident with him and Daron Fox going back and forth a little bit or whatever it is, or he kind of played Daron Fox in the interview.

They like, look, I know what.

Yeah, they just needed something about it, just something terrible. Yeah, but he's a great coach. Hell yeah, he don't keep getting hired for no.

Reason, you know, my brother.

And again, the reason I was liking that motherfucking me was because he pulled up. He's out of parking for running down the sideline like that.

Though. Talk about the drill.

He definitely turned. He turned the whole thing around for sure. Man shout out to the Kings. Man keep getting them due for exactly mean. By the way, too, some more games took place last night. The Magic took care of the seventy six. Yes yesterday, mactually had twenty nine, PG had twenty five and ten. The boy called Anthony went nuts day he had twenty seven and P five had a dub and eight rebounds.

Yesterday, Man six, they keep winning, bro because they that's shit crazy Bro.

Once again, when you pour into your players and they believe shit, I think that whole roster believe they could win any time they on the court.

That ship is screable. They keep losing, niggas, Bro.

Another person, Corey Joseph plays sixteen minutes.

And that's no disrespect for Courty Josep because he keep a job. But Jam, it don't matter who pull up, you got gonna produce. And he believed, he believed in all them, like I ain't gonnallow to love to.

Play for him.

Yeah, yeah, and just to see him when he was assistant coach and he used to work dudes out before the game like he used to work Lucal and them guys out.

And then when he was in Denver when I first got.

In the league, everybody loved him, like everybody wanted to work out with him even before the game. He being a full sweat garden dudes Like, so, I know what kind of head coach he is. People probably love playing for him. Like you said, Corey Joseph ain't played all year. He come and play sixteen minutes.

Come on, bro, like you hoo from the magic Bro.

You got a chance for chance. Shit is wold. Bro, you I ain't seen nothing like that, Bro. Man really lose his whole roster and still rock out like nah, rest dope Man. That's why I think for real would be like the best record in the league. Bro, He's damned near coach of the year Bro, for sure.

Sorry, Bro.

If Kenny Adkison wasn't thirty three and five, he would be coach of the year.

Yeah hard over five hundred, Bro, Yeah, comfortably fourth and that fourth in the league and in the conference.

And they have lost their stars for at least twenty games.

Can you get your ship off?

Bro?

I feel you, Bro, But like thirty three and five, I know, I'm just saying, Bro, if we was healthy but not good the magical be Bro. They was fully healthy, Bro.

If you're just going off the season a law with them missing fronts and for the games they was out even though it was winning a lot of them games. Still and they key Bro top three? Yeah, Bro saying they better than them? Yar heres balling either of the three of them to here, Damn Bro, Like I don't know.

I mean the season shows Bro the pudding man and they still will That's crazy? No, they and n P five being back.

Now he was on his way of being All first team on the NBA before he got hurt. Yeah, with the half him back and he bought his first game. He goes for third back and now you go for another twenty piece.

He a co he hooper bro. He called he's one of my favorite players in the league.

Yeah, Tyres Max was bowling yesterday. We had twenty five teams. The hell of a game for PG just wasn't enough. But Joe and BB on the side lines. It's becoming I don't know at this point, we don't even expect him the hoop bro. Who's worse him or Kauhi? Oh I were think more likely to play and beat or Kaui? Oh, Joel, you think so well to play?

I'll take Kauhi, oh Bro, Joel Joel And he's probably played last three or four years, probably played more games than qual.

Yeah, definitely, Oh yeah, because sure you think I'm saying after all Star break, who plays Kawhi Leonard or Dreel and Bie?

Oh, I'll say Kauhi, And that's crazy to even take Kawhi, but this year take I.

Don't even know why Kauhi out though while he out now his family.

Yeah, he's still the house.

Is the smooth though. I don't know what's going on with that.

I'm just saying, Bro, look at the sixers. Are Joe up should be playing after the fucking the All Star break?

Yeah, I think he's gonna sit out the rest of it. Don't make a difference, no way, Bro, Just get healthy, Bro, get that big. It's Badley turned back up next year, my fall, Cooper Flag birth, Bro, why everybody keep writing me like Cooper Flag, Cooper.

Flag, shout out to the guys. Man.

Off the Chargers yesterday thirty to to twelve. The Rapers beat the Steelers Saturday night twenty eight to fourteen. Bills beat the Broncos thirty one to seven, Eagles beat the Packers twenty to ten, and the Commanders beat the Buccaneers twenty three to twenty. Yeah.

I wanted to ask you a question about the Commanders and the Bucks.

Yes.

No, the game came down to the wire, came to a field goal. I was watching the game. What's more pressure down one you got two free throws with no time on the clock, or a top ball game twenty twenty. Like the Commanders and Bucks, you gotta kick the winning field goal. What do you think is more pressure? Where's the field go?

Lot, He damn missed them, motherfucker on the twenty. Yeah, that is true, the nervous.

You gotta set a because what's the weather now?

Just like it was last night for them.

I guess.

I don't know. He banked it in. I'm a bank. Field goal is crazy, yeah, as long as you hit ship. But you think more pressure? You got two free throws down one.

Because you make one. Yeah, it's the field feel, it's more pressure on the field go. But you only do one thing. Yeah, that's your only job. It's a kick field goals. You end a professional athlete. All you do is kick field goal. When you got fouled on the free throw, you could have had twenty five rebounds thirty points eight that you did play the whole game.

Bro.

If I'm a porn star, Bro, my only job is to crack.

Bro.

So I might have an off mic Bro.

Noah, it's not a friend. When you're a professional, you can't have an off mic.

A cando, Bro. That's why they gonna remix the video to kill what I'm saying. It's gonna look like thirty or twelve.

Only your only job is to kick a field goal. Well, the only thing you practiced all day.

I think doing this is a lot harder than what we make.

I'm not saying it's not hard, but think about when you play a basketball game. You do a lot more ship in the game. So if you miss a free throw, it's like, damn, it's a possibility. You could miss a free throw. This it's a possibility can miss a kick. But your only job is to kick. You only gotta do ship else. All you gotta do is be great at kick it. I might have had thirty five points. I could have been killing the whole game.

I just got fouled. What's more for?

I think it's harder to shoot a free throw than to kick a field goal. Bro.

Yeah, I don't know.

If you out like that might benergery situation, Bro, where you got to hit a forty fifty yard bow and if you miss this this over.

At least if you hit wonder free throws you go to ot.

You get twenty three twenty one about three? Yeah that's that.

I don't know.

Man, you only got one job. Like I agree, I'm nigga. This is what you do for a living.

You need to make it that's roll all you do. I ain't rolling crazy though he's saying it's easy, saying it's easy.

I'm just y'all.

I'm not rolling with that though.

Bro.

You gotta hit.

Yeah, you gotta hit older all y'all do all day, y'all don't take no hits. Y'all do ship else. Yeah, they don't let you be on the road. But you getting yelled at.

Win.

You think about the game. But if you should kill O nil you the half thirty five? You done got fouled all night.

You tired. You didn't play said one to play defensive all that ship.

But you're talking about the worst free throw ship ever. Give me a give at the line.

I'm just saying, I'm saying, just harder, because all right, let's say you down one.

You got to.

Let's say you down too. You got fat on a three. I alays say you down to and you let's just say the same thing tod game.

All right, let's put Lebron James at the line.

Yeah, hey, down to. You got to make both of them.

We're going to t'n listen. You down too, and you gotta hit two free throws.

You got foul. You gotta hit two free throws. I think that's way more pressure than if.

You don't know you really solo, Bro, you so and you a hooper do.

But listen, all right, say you down twenty twenty to seventeen, you need a feel go to hit it, like you got to hit this field goal to take in the overtime, or you down too and you need to hit these two free throws to take it over.

To that's easier. Your only job is to kick field goals, bro.

Circumstance if you got okay, if you miss, you go to ot regards. Okay, it's a little bit different. But if you have to hide the game, yeah, oh that's tough.

Bro.

I'm taking that every time. That's what you take it.

So you got to you gotta hit two free throws a tied of game, or you gotta hit a field go the game.

What's taking a field goal? I think that's easy.

The reason why I say NBA is because of basketball is because if you tire, you have more possessions in overtime to where you could affect them in the game. I'm I'm just saying the pressures to making the two free throws keep it going. So if it's if you're down to, you go to the lines.

Imagine that.

Look all the pressures on you like you can all you can blame somebody holder.

The placeholder fucked up the kid. You got to excuse everything.

He held the ball wrong.

It's just you up there, nigga. What you say y'all play basketball? Ford?

They say that Lebron, that's why.

That that that you that NFL stadium yell over the basketball arena?

Yeah is different, Nah, that's so.

You want it for so high Ireland.

You on an island by yourself. Bro, What you think You just them niggas ain't saying nothing down there. You just believing in the motherfucking o line.

Niggas. Bro, you really out there looking around like I missed this, But.

You think they saying in a basketball game you down to, you gotta hit two three throws to take it over.

And I think the locker room different. You gotta deal with more niggas.

I think there would be more supportive.

It's fifty seven niggas in the locker room. If you missed that, it's just swel y'all.

You'll be more supportive.

You'll get more support, bro. You see when the kickers miss everybody comes tapping. Now you see that the people they rock with. You end up playoffs game seven, down two points, you need two free throws to send it in overtime.

Bro, that's not a lot.

Every about to get off the subject. But okay, you paint that picture, all right. You know finals games seven, you gotta hit this to win.

All right.

Imagine you're the super Bowl and you you know what I'm saying, Neutral site, you gotta kick a thirty five yarder, bro in.

A way for the dub. No, No, I don't want throws? What are you kidding me?

You wow?

Georgia, Georgia. In game one, that was game one. It was Niggas the killing him. Everybody kills you for that. But George the free times. That's all I'm saying.

That was gay one.

They still had a chance to win a series. Niggas. Niggas was mad at him for life.

He gets paid to do his job, He's not doing his job.

I was like, damn, that's about it. Up.

That's the most really ship I ever heard. I'm glad that you brought that both. Money Jones had a tweet about that. He was like, even though this is the reality that is now, he said, that is crazy that your college saying this.

You know, you get paid for this, You're not what we pay to do. So he said he found a fix. Yeah, yeah, that's all that was.

I mean, shit is about to It's about to work though. Yeah, that's about to work, bro, because you can't tell me. I don't give a fuck.

This ain't the NBA, the NBA. Like they got to play I got to play my max player. Yeah, it is what it is in college. Nah, nigga, they ain't say nothing about the rule a little bit more chicken now, Oh yeah.

That's dope, Like that's dope most definitely.

But my verified bucket, I don't even know who else. I'm gonna just give it to Jaylen Brunton because having forty four, leaving the game with a slight injury and coming back and still killing. Having forty four whatever you had in the first quarterback at twenty five in the first quarters, yeah, he was hooping.

How big?

Excuse me? Hey, yeah, I wouln't want to play the five either, No excuse me.

That's the first sign of Paul George again right there, when your feet do this, you getting old by.

Out of the pocket for not grabbing his hand. You still had a good game though, Yeah, supposed to help your man's up.

I remember Lebron first of that when he first went back to like he was like, play down lit your brother canna pick you up and didn't do it the next game he was for sure, I love he said a whole ship shouts to broad man, my very excuse me, get well some. I'm gonna reach back to last week, since you know, saying we were in the studio Anthony Black.

Give up from Derek White to somebody. White boomed.

He do try to block a lot. He want of the leaders in block stuff for a guard. He got bounced though.

Yeah. I like though he do try to Derrick White. I thought was like, boy got a bag this summer.

He got fair light.

Though he had help with summer, got a ring, gotta gold metal and got paid.

Ain't never had that.

One of my favorite two white players in the league for both fans.

That's crazy. Alright, be here Monday morning, people trying to start off with a dub.

What you got for him?

Man?

Yeah, baby, we kept it late today, very very light, very light. K cunning him twenty points, CAT twenty and twenty, Anthony Ellwis that is Stephen Curry twenty points, John Morant twenty, MPZ twenty. Okay, Victor, it is gonna get thirty three hundred dollars only wins you five thousand dollars today.

That's doable. Three hundred for five. I think that's doable. I might.

I might play that one, all right, shots DraftKings that promo cold club fos want to get you a little bonus extra. Before we got out of here, we got a question from the chat. Is the one of hurting the n I L or the NBA more?

Uh?

The one and done?

Like people leaving early, it's probably her in college more because a lot of people are going for one year that not gonna be there.

They could have just went out of high school and they could have saved a lot of headaches.

I agree, like ruggers. They getting these two kids for one year. They had ruggers lit but they're not even good. Yeah, and I mean it was a waste of their time.

No facts, ajmns not about to go win the national championship next year.

He should be able to go to the league.

But because he's gonna get what he's supposed to get in, he's gonna hoop it in.

We're not gonna care no more.

And while you're gonna be back to normal again, LUs they got some more. Have it lit for a year, like were just trying to get this popping for a year. People will come like Ruggers is lit. They're not having a good year. Nobody's going to Ruggers next year.

Yeah, you know what I mean. It's back to regular schedule programming.

It's not like the inspiration I was back in that we used to see like the Fab five or the Carolina I want to go be a part of that. If you want them top lord percent our kids is just like all right, I about to go get.

This usc type shit.

Yeah. But if you let these.

Kids go to the NBA, because let's be honest, they go to they go do one year of school. It don't matter who you are, if you're a five star kid, even if you having a good year or a bad year. Most of them leave the good ones they get drafted first round or whatever they play. They either be you know, turn the superstar stars or whatever they do when they go about their life. But then you got the other guys who leave after one year, who didn't get drafted or second round picks. They end up falling off. Like I just think of a kid named Kennedy Chandler. No shot at him, but he was a five star point guard. Yeah, I just remember himse people let me play like you. Yeah, but he went to Tennessee, went for one year, play, got second round pick, and now he's a journeyman trying to figure it out, which is not wrong with it, but you.

Know, he's a young guy.

He probably like twenty three, twenty one some and he's trying to figure out all these young dudes leaving school early when you could have just let most of these good players go to the league out of high school with a like a Cooper flag all these dudes because they went straight out of high school. And now the guys like a Canty Channel could go to school and they could be good players. Pressure on be on them, like you know, when you go one of dumb people say you five star, you supposed to be one and done.

All these dudes like.

You believe in that THEO game don't really transpire. You probably really need a bunch of guys cash Like Cash is Stanley Duke, remember Lebrian n Ash Male really mar Bailey? Yeah, all these kids.

Now they journeyman because they were supposed to be one and done. When they could have went to college and it would been no pressure.

To be one and done. They could have just went hooped.

He could have did three years.

It would have been a top twenty pick.

Now they don't got no degree, and now they journeyman, trying to figure it out. And it's like they were more than capable basketball player, but they just needed more time. But since they were supposed to be one and done, they intend to go to college and.

Be there for one year. I'm out and they do it anyway, and now they forgot about Yeah, that's just said, well said for sure.

Man. We appreciate the questions in the chat. We'll have a day this week where y'all can ask plenty more, but we're gonna get up out of here. Great episode dropping today at twelve p m. Lock in for the podcast tlub five to twenty and we'll be back tomorrow morning five to twenty in the morning. The volume
