10th. Hank.

5:04

Dank. Dank. Dan Kay. What's

5:07

up? What's up? What's

5:09

up, Henry? Just had a quick question for you, Hank.

5:11

What's up? The Boston Celtics lost

5:13

tonight. They're now down one point in the series.

5:15

No, they're up one. Excuse

5:18

me, the Cavaliers are down one point. The

5:20

Celtics are up one point in the series.

5:22

The Cavaliers only won by 24, so that's

5:24

good. People

5:28

asking questions about the Celtics, it's just one game.

5:30

It's a long series. Just one game. It's

5:33

a long series. It's just one game. Let them get to it. It's

5:36

called prefacing your question with giving you all the facts,

5:38

so I'm not giving you anything out of context.

5:40

Got it. Okay, so some people will say it's just

5:42

one game. There are other people that will say, Hank,

5:45

the Boston Celtics, when you look at

5:47

their record against the best teams in

5:49

the NBA this year, could

5:52

be known as maybe a cupcake

5:54

merchant. Maybe they beat up a lot of bad

5:56

teams in the East. Maybe they have

5:58

a sub 500 record against the top six

6:00

teams besides the Boston Celtics. I

6:03

don't believe those people, but they are saying things

6:05

like that. They're saying things like Jason Tatum, not

6:08

a great shooter, and he seems to love the

6:10

ball in his hands, seems to love taking shots.

6:14

What would you say to those two camps of people out there?

6:16

Good question. So what's the question? What would you say to those

6:18

two camps of people? What would you say?

6:20

What would you say? You weren't even listening. We had

6:22

the best record in the NBA where the number one

6:25

seed in the entire playoffs. We've

6:27

lost two playoff games and

6:29

we're in a good spot. I

6:32

think they're wrong. I think Jason Tatum

6:35

just gets picked on. He's had nothing but success in

6:37

his NBA career. He hasn't won a championship, but he's

6:39

still... That's a wild one second

6:42

you just put out there. What?

6:45

That he's a winner, that he's had a lot of success.

6:47

I mean, you rooted for fucking Alex Ovechkin for his entire

6:49

career. Would you say the same thing? No, no. I

6:51

did not say that he was a winner before he won

6:54

the Stanley Cup. I didn't say he's had an extremely successful

6:56

career and people just like, you know, trying

6:58

to shoot him down. Yeah, he said he's won... He's

7:01

had a successful beginning. Nothing

7:03

but success. Nothing but success. That's just

7:05

not true. I would have never

7:07

said that about Alex before he won the Stanley

7:09

Cup. Interesting. I

7:11

don't know if that's true. He wasn't

7:14

as successful as Tatum was, but they

7:17

lost one game. It's the playoffs. It's the

7:19

playoffs. It's the playoffs. I'm not going to let it,

7:21

you know, get me down. No. I

7:23

fucking killed the Cavs in game three. Bruins

7:25

and Celtics own eight in game twos in their

7:28

last eight game twos. Not a fact? Not

7:30

a game two town. Not a game two town.

7:32

Own eight in game twos. Fourteen and fourteen at

7:34

home in the last three seasons for

7:36

the Celtics. Yeah, not a game two town.

7:40

I actually saw worse Homestat, I thought. It's

7:42

like nine and eleven, but... Yeah,

7:45

I mean, they got it. I'm sick. I will say

7:47

I'm sick of these wake up call games like, you

7:50

know, Miami lose game two. It's a wake up call.

7:52

They'll bounce back. They'll, you know, figure things out and

7:54

come back stronger. At some point you got to just

7:57

be like, it's the playoffs. Wake up time's over. Let's

7:59

just come out. of the gate every game

8:01

hot and just you know step on their throat do it

8:04

so they have the like dr. Jekyll mr. Hyde

8:06

thing going where you know one game they look

8:08

like the best team in the NBA which

8:10

they are best record in the NBA they earned that

8:12

by winning the most games in the NBA PFT you

8:15

can only play who gets put in front of you

8:17

I agree with that point good point amen but

8:19

then they come out in other games and look like they have

8:22

no chance to get beat by 25 to a calf team

8:24

that's not that good well the Cavs did

8:26

play well tonight Caris Lavert was awesome we

8:29

we told you Donovan Mitchell would have a game

8:31

where he you know he shot well from three

8:33

and Evan Mobley was awesome as well so like

8:35

the kids have guys and they played really well

8:38

yeah they have guys held except should yeah

8:41

yeah I mean there's them there they live and die by the

8:43

three that's that's you know what

8:46

what it is with this team when they shoot bad

8:48

it looks terrible when they shoot good they look like

8:50

the best team of all time so no panic no

8:53

nothing just it is what it is you lose a

8:55

game you know wake up yeah

8:58

it's the same it feels similar to the heat series

9:00

I'm not I'm not gonna be humble about it but

9:02

it's like they gotta come come out in Domino come

9:04

correct three games yeah yeah they gotta they gotta win

9:06

the next game but I like again

9:09

you know we had him on AWS love

9:11

them I love them like Missoula is the guy

9:13

that's that's gonna get in their ass tell

9:15

them to figure it out I don't know you know why didn't

9:17

get in their ass after game one I don't know what goes

9:20

on there but that's does you need to get in he's

9:22

gonna get in everyone's ass yeah the whole team

9:25

whole team everyone's out the bottom yeah it's run

9:27

a train stack them on top of each other

9:29

and also remember Hank we are

9:31

so he's climbing the ladder yeah

9:33

okay got it we're I think

9:35

we're what one game away from

9:37

hitting Chris stops minimum oh

9:40

are we of several yes I had several

9:42

three several three well no three a few

9:44

is three I think couples to a few

9:47

three several I think has to be like

9:49

four or five I think several is three

9:52

and up I know a few is three but I think I

9:54

think three is also so he's close to hitting his minimum

9:56

I don't I think you keep him out till hopefully

10:00

don't get to a game six situation but save

10:03

them for you know that don't rush them back

10:05

I have a question for you yeah

10:08

and let's just be let's just listen

10:11

what no it's I have a question seven hours later

10:13

oh okay all right fine you want me to just

10:15

rip the baby off and ask the question I don't

10:18

know the answer to this question I

10:21

think you know the answer to the question right

10:23

now and I think when your head hits the

10:26

pillow you might be like am

10:28

I right so that sounds like what you

10:30

think the answer to the question is no because I

10:32

actually don't know the answer to the question you are

10:35

it but you preface in that way me Hank does

10:37

so much fucking interrupting when we're trying to ask you

10:39

a question it's ridiculous I said you want you do

10:41

you remember the band and I'll ask question yes you

10:43

know what I don't know next time we say is

10:46

okay if I ask you a question just say no yeah I

10:49

can't you don't talk it's not okay it's

10:52

definitely okay with you question time I

10:54

do want me to give you my answer before I give you the

10:56

question my answer be yeah

11:01

that's that would be my answer yeah yeah you

11:03

know the question what would your answer be my

11:05

answer would be I think

11:08

so yeah the question

11:10

is is Jason Tatum the best

11:13

player on a championship team yes

11:15

100% no

11:18

hesitation yeah okay are

11:21

you sure yes okay all

11:24

right then we're good then you're

11:26

in the evening to tell him the stat because

11:28

you already said he's good you love your stats I

11:31

have a stat yeah I won't tell you the

11:33

cherry pick stats and then there's a cherry pick

11:35

stat this is the opposite of cherry pick

11:37

stat there's a stack called BPM

11:39

for basketball it's kind of like war

11:41

it's what you contribute to your team

11:43

points like like overall when you're on

11:45

the court if you look the

11:48

peak like yokich this year was like

11:50

13 plus 13 how's he doing

11:53

he wanted MVP Good

11:56

point, good point We can go to play. We'll go to

11:58

playoffs after because good point. Any.

12:00

Tracks pretty consistently: Wife: when like a

12:02

Peak Jordan: Years like at the you

12:04

know, Eleven Twelve Peak Le Bron Year:

12:07

Eleven Twelve: the the best player in

12:09

the league the of the best player.

12:11

A championship team is usually up there

12:13

in the top ten. So. Much

12:15

so that I look back and

12:18

ah, the last time a team.

12:20

Won. A Championship. With.

12:22

A guy who wasn't on with zero

12:25

players in the top ten of the

12:27

Bpm was the Detroit Pistons. Now. You.

12:30

Could make the argument that the Celtics

12:32

are like that. Pistons see more. The

12:34

team is so good collectively. That. It

12:36

doesn't matter. But does.

12:38

That make you little concerned because if

12:40

you go down the list is pretty

12:42

much everyone is year he's sixteen, what's

12:45

brown? Brown. Is here

12:47

and I find a free but it's

12:49

it's it's every single year you go

12:51

down like jokers. Last year was one

12:53

curry curry actually the the worse year

12:55

was almost average per was ninth. he

12:57

answers to the brawn five school I

12:59

six, the when the warriors one. it's

13:01

when he team that Tema was incredible

13:03

that stuff and Katie three and four

13:05

like down the list goes. these jailers

13:07

pretty far down. the every team that

13:09

has won a title has a guy

13:11

who was a top ten Bpm guy

13:13

on the roster I am refined of

13:15

for. You. I'm. But.

13:17

Again and here here's where I'm being

13:19

fair, Hank. The. Wolves also don't

13:22

have a top ten guy from the regular season. So

13:24

maybe this is year that we have

13:26

two teams that don't have quote unquote

13:29

like. One. Of the top five

13:31

players and lead. although the

13:33

Edwards answers him did finish decent five

13:35

in. and what about the. As.

13:38

Luca on the zoo is on their

13:40

yes side of for you Go yeah

13:42

say so. This year the top the

13:44

top ten were Yolk. It's. Luca.

13:48

John. Is Shea. Tires.

13:50

Halliburton le Bron sobornost

13:52

Bronson. Mitchell quite.

13:55

As. The top ten. For. This year. And.

13:59

dot hold on I'm gonna get it for you. What?

14:02

Oh yeah, I mean by that you're saying it'll be

14:05

a Knicks. No, no,

14:07

no, no, no, no, because it's a Pacers-ass finals.

14:09

No, because that's his, no, that's not a title. That's not

14:11

how stats work also, like any of those

14:13

teams from the East could make the finals. Right. The

14:17

winning team. Historically, I mean, it doesn't

14:19

take a stat to tell you this, it takes just

14:21

watching basketball for the last, feels like

14:23

30 years. The winner

14:25

of the NBA championship usually has a superstar

14:28

on their team. Correct. Yeah,

14:30

but the Celtics team, yeah, and the

14:32

Celtics team to your point is built now. It's

14:34

a team. It is a team,

14:36

that's what I'm saying. It could be the Wolves

14:38

versus Celtics and you could be saying, well this

14:40

stat makes no sense because both these teams have

14:42

proved the sum of the parts is bigger. Now

14:44

Anthony Edwards also is number two in BPM in

14:46

these playoffs. He's ascending to a point, you know

14:49

who's number three? Here's a helpline. You

14:51

know who's number three? Who? Derek White.

14:54

So it might be Derek White's team. Derek

14:56

White MVP plus 4,000. That's true. That

14:58

is true. So, I'm gonna take, so then

15:01

what's the argument? But no, I'm gonna take Hank's side. I'm

15:03

gonna take your side. Jason Tatum, the best player

15:06

on a championship team. Got it. I'm

15:08

gonna take your side a little bit in this. If the

15:10

Celtics get hot, if Tatum plays, he's very capable

15:12

of being the best player on the court in

15:14

most games. Like he could do it, right? We've

15:17

seen him do that, like you said, he finished what, fifth

15:19

in MVP voting? So if he

15:21

kicks it into high gear, what?

15:24

Or he said like something about MVP voting. No. No.

15:29

I thought you said something like that like two minutes ago.

15:31

I think I said it. Jason Tatum,

15:33

I think finished fifth or something. Okay, fifth, yeah. There

15:36

you go. So he's up there in the conversation.

15:38

If he plays an extremely high level for the

15:40

next three, four weeks, five weeks,

15:42

he's going to be, and they

15:45

win the championship. Nobody's gonna be like,

15:47

oh, I can't believe this no-name Celtics

15:49

team won. No, they're a really good

15:51

team. They'll say Jason Tatum is a

15:53

superstar and he carried them to This

15:56

title. And People remember Jason Tatum because he's already

15:58

close enough to that level. Be like

16:00

okay, the playoffs can turn him into

16:03

illegitimate. Carrier. Of a

16:05

team? Yeah are so Chris Stops was

16:07

fourteen. Ah, Jayson

16:09

Tatum was fifteen. And.

16:12

Then Jill browse, age. They're.

16:15

Quite was twenty two city in

16:17

a Christian back vigorous us act.

16:19

Again, I'm not either. You revenue

16:22

still. Kill. The Cavs. Are

16:25

your so when the East It was more

16:27

of a bigger question. Again, my answer is

16:29

yeah. But. At. Least.

16:32

At. Our he just doesn't eat. Each

16:34

of two shots in the fourth. He like

16:36

that either. Golden showers want me but you

16:38

guys were. It was ten point game going

16:40

into force. More. Than that, I do. You

16:42

guys got born on the fourth like and he just

16:45

has more like is averaging. He's averaging five points less

16:47

in the playoffs and he didn't the season. That

16:49

tip. This. Is when I do in Branson

16:51

is. Scorn, Forty and night. Have

16:54

six players either. He's got a sub up. but

16:57

yet though I was, I think outta my way

16:59

Under that goes on for two. Adjacent to the

17:01

where's the Been Slender Thus Quest now just just

17:03

online and is in the media. I think he's

17:05

so incredibly where Where online and in the media

17:08

as our game dinner still again. Like.

17:55

You should if. That's. A game that you can

17:57

18:00

a bad game. I. Think are

18:02

the years have these bad games need your? You're

like this as a gun the games on and

18:35

18:37

a guy. It sounds like on Turner

18:39

when Daves others act like bar actually cause

18:42

18:44

So. The big cat is giving a personal

18:46

18:48

not wrong that display Rcs than the I'm

Super Super Super Star level. He's

18:52

18:54

the rubble, you know. shrublike our that if

18:56

18:59

Finals. Or you might be

19:11

team. Basically. Ah

19:14

okay so while production for Saturday

19:16

night. When. By.

19:19

Thirty three, Thirty Three or Iraq on track.

19:21

that's an entrepreneur the soon be on track.

19:24

know if they want my Thirty three. they're

19:26

bad. If the wind by Thirty three hits.

19:28

The house mean it's ruining can do twenty

19:31

five of or not. We're not even taking

19:33

into account any of the losses at they

19:35

have that doesn't factor. know he's nitrogen over

19:37

are now. Ah Pst. What?

19:40

If. they win each case so going to win

19:42

the next three games my thirty three each know

19:44

when by a hundred so okay what well as

19:46

enemy a point of rice or the advocates guess

19:49

so right now it's one yes but they were

19:51

going for game modes are my dream i don't

19:53

know how i don't like what your do i

19:55

know that i know a guy kiwi badgered by

19:57

thirty i didn't i didn't realize that it's sixty

20:00

Realize that the point against you and losses didn't

20:02

count do you not point differential do you know

20:04

what that mean metrics got it? That

20:09

you you don't understand the fact that right

20:11

now you guys are up why one point

20:13

or a that's what? 33 so

20:15

if yes, I'm aware of it Yeah, but

20:17

the game if the series goes seven games

20:19

Yeah Then the Cavaliers could win and

20:22

they could they could have a 10-point win They

20:24

could have an eight-point win at a 20-point win

20:26

and then you don't get the hundred I'm not

20:28

I'm not bad at math Got it. How

20:30

does that not make sense to you? No that

20:32

makes it. I'm I think it's gonna be three wins

20:34

30 Yeah, you're saying three wins by 33 just

20:36

to make it make it nice and even yeah

20:40

I'm saying you guys do better than that No,

20:42

three wins by 33 would make it

20:44

nice and even no, I guess a little you know

20:46

You want a little extra 101? Yeah, that's not what

20:48

I mean. Well, yeah, you know you got

20:50

the extra one Alright,

20:53

so Would you

20:55

say would you would you say we should bet on the

20:57

Celtics on Saturday night? I'm not

20:59

you know spreads. I'm not I'm not I'm not

21:01

worried about spreads. We're gonna beat him by 30.

21:04

Oh, yeah We should we should ask

21:06

our? Correspondent when when

21:08

when the Sixers go out of the playoffs

21:10

max does become Boston max max What do

21:12

you what do you think about the Celtics

21:14

right now? I mean, it's game

21:16

to who gives a fuck about the Cavs Everyone's

21:19

crying about nothing where the Boston Celtics we're gonna

21:21

beat the fuck out of them the next game

21:23

Beat the fuck out of him again beat the

21:25

fuck out of him again And then the Pacers

21:27

and Knicks are both gonna be dead by the

21:29

time they come us That's a

21:32

clean sweet clean sweet and then who cares

21:34

about the West max. We think about your

21:36

Bruins Thing

21:39

about hockey is I know a lot about hockey

21:41

and I know that my Bruins are gonna win

21:43

in five City

21:49

Like this is, Massachusetts, yeah, not a

21:51

game to cities be on a quote

21:53

card Okay, other games.

21:55

We got to talk about the Pacers in the

21:57

next how many how many? Things

22:00

did Rick Carlisle submit to the NBA? I think 78

22:03

I think 70 after the game was over Rick Carlisle

22:06

I believe it was in the

22:08

first two games Yeah, but there

22:10

are 78 fouls that were either

22:12

incorrectly called not called at all or

22:15

just blown by the refs Yeah, I'm circumstance. I

22:17

don't know if he included the phantom double dribble

22:20

because that was okay. You definitely included All

22:22

right I'm going to stand up a little

22:24

bit for Rick Carlisle if my

22:26

team is playing a game and there's a

22:28

flag and you And you the whistles blown

22:30

or there's a flag on the field to

22:33

me That's been called already and

22:35

if you pick it up or you take the

22:37

whistle back then you fucked me over Yeah by

22:39

by going back on your incorrect call now. It

22:41

was not a good call He very clearly didn't

22:44

touch the ball with two hands So it never

22:46

should be calling the first place ended up being

22:48

I think a fair outcome to the play But

22:51

as a fan or a coach or a player on one of

22:53

those teams once you do that It's gonna

22:55

really piss me off if you take it back Yeah, two

22:57

two things can be true The

23:00

Pacers have had a bad whistle and

23:02

they got they got screwed in game

23:04

one that we talked about on Wednesday

23:06

that game one kickball call sucked They've

23:10

gotten a bad whistle Rick Carlisle's

23:12

being a gigantic baby I

23:15

like that see dude play TJ McConnell more

23:17

like put keep him in the game He

23:19

was that he was he was the guy

23:21

who was who was making things happen He

23:23

played phenomenal and then he took him out

23:25

for the last seven minutes. You blew a

23:28

double-digit lead You gave up a

23:30

hundred and thirty points to Nick's team that has

23:32

like no one left Start maybe

23:34

pointing your finger at yourself and not oh

23:37

They don't like small market teams small market

23:39

teams should have been the excuse after like

23:41

the at least the third loss And I

23:43

get you got to wait on that because

23:45

especially like his whole case is

23:47

it's Indiana Against New York

23:49

City right the NBA wants the Knicks to

23:51

advance I don't know if he's

23:53

seen the Knicks in the playoffs ever

23:56

Yeah, the NBA doesn't do a very good job out

23:58

dancing the Knicks If that's been their agenda, they've

24:01

been really, really bad at executing

24:03

that agenda. Correct. That was, yeah, I mean,

24:05

it's, I'm fine with

24:07

like a coach trying to basically make

24:09

a statement to get the refs to

24:11

maybe give them a better whistle, but

24:13

the small market thing like, dude, come

24:16

on. And also, like, you

24:18

have made some mistakes in the series that have cost

24:20

your team, you should have won

24:22

at least one of these games. You didn't.

24:24

You're still in this series because the other

24:26

side of it, the Knicks, are

24:29

essentially the night from Monty Python. Like, they

24:31

have no one, they, so Mitchell

24:34

Robinson's out for the rest of the playoffs. OG

24:37

is out for at least game three,

24:39

but it feels like more. Jalen Brunson

24:41

missed the entire second quarter, which credit

24:43

to the TNT crew for really giving

24:46

us great, timely updates when the best

24:48

player in the series just wasn't there

24:50

for a quarter. They had to talk about Reggie Miller

24:52

and how Reggie Miller used to play against the Knicks,

24:54

too. That was wild! It was very

24:56

crazy because I was watching the game and I was

24:58

like, what's Jalen doing? Where is he? Is he taking

25:01

a break? And then I was like, wait, no, Tibbs

25:03

is the coach. There's no chance that Jalen is taking

25:05

a break. And just nothing

25:07

happened until like right before halftime.

25:10

And then they went back, we saw the replay.

25:12

The replay was no help either. No. I don't

25:14

know. He like tweaked his foot or something. I

25:16

thought it was groin, then it was foot. Yeah,

25:18

but he came back and I mean, he was,

25:20

he's a tough motherfucker. Yeah, I mean, he was,

25:22

he did what he's been doing all these playoffs.

25:24

He's, he's was like own the game late and

25:26

he's so much fun to watch and he's

25:29

just incredible. And he is, I've had some

25:31

Knicks fans ask me. Yes, he is. Anthony

25:33

Edwards and Jalen Brunson are now officially

25:35

emerging superstars. Like they, I still think you have

25:37

to do it for a couple of years or

25:40

maybe one more year because they all both did it last year,

25:42

too. But they're absolutely emerging

25:45

superstars and all over the

25:47

place. But I, I

25:49

don't know what the Knicks do now. They don't have, they're

25:51

just losing guys left and right. They've got what, like

25:53

seven guys now that can be done? Josh Hart, I

25:55

think, I think kids just have to like have Josh

25:57

Hart play two positions at once. That guy just never

25:59

comes back. He can do it. He's a fucking

26:01

dog and that was a great moment at the end when he went up

26:03

to the mic and was like, hey, I

26:05

think they're saying fuck you to Reggie Miller. Yeah, that was

26:07

really good. That was great. Reggie, I mean,

26:10

why did they fly him in for that game? I

26:12

think his Spike Lee asked for it. That

26:14

sucked. Yeah. There's no need for

26:16

him to be there. Just

26:19

brainstorming out loud. But yeah, that was crazy. They

26:21

just didn't give us an update on the most

26:23

important player in the series. Yeah, I don't know

26:25

if- For an entire quarter. So he's questionable right

26:27

now, right? He's questionable. He's going to play. My

26:31

guess is that he's going to try to play and

26:33

that Tibbs will be like, please try to play. But

26:36

that seems like one of those injuries that's going to get

26:38

worse the day after you heard it than

26:41

it is at the time. We're getting also

26:43

to a point where I think, and I've

26:45

seen Max, he's starting to kind

26:47

of be like, the Sixers' next

26:49

series is over. Now it's

26:51

my Villanova guys. The

26:54

only guys they have left are Jalen Brunson, Divan Chenzo,

26:56

and Josh Hart. They're just going to try to win

26:58

this title, which is Nova. Yeah, well, that's what they've

27:00

been saying. They're still like best

27:02

friends. And it all goes back to

27:04

Villanova. Max, this would be a championship. It would. For

27:07

Philadelphia. I think Kyle Neptune would be, you'd have

27:10

to give him a contract extension. Disagree.

27:16

But I do think that what's going on in

27:18

New York right now only

27:20

further cements that Jay writes the best

27:22

college basketball coach of all time. Okay.

27:24

Yeah, that's appropriate. Okay. You

27:28

know how Coach Cal had all those jerseys

27:30

of his first round picks in the basement?

27:34

This Knicks team, if they do happen to win a

27:36

championship at some point, Coach

27:39

Wright is definitely going to have championship banners of this

27:41

Knicks team hanging up if he ever gets back into

27:43

coaching. Were we a curse to the city of New

27:45

York? We

27:48

lived there for seven years, and now they're

27:50

on the precipice of having both teams in

27:52

the Eastern Conference Finals. And

27:55

you said it from day one, Hank. You just wanted them

27:57

to be good so that you'd have something to vibe on.

28:00

Yeah, we might I mean, I mean if it would

28:02

maybe be getting Boston Boston New

28:05

York, New York, New York. Yeah, which is crazy. I

28:07

mean you might just have to go live there. Yeah

28:09

for a couple days But

28:12

yeah, I I think the Pacers will probably

28:15

win on Friday night just based off Friday

28:18

Saturday, I think it's Friday. I think it's Friday.

28:20

I believe I hate when these weird schedules were

28:22

double-headed tomorrow Yeah, but where the Nuggets played no

28:24

one day and Friday and then everyone else is

28:27

still going every two days Yeah, that was weird.

28:29

I think the I think the Pacers will get

28:31

a good whistle I think

28:33

with the Knicks injuries the Pacers will win game

28:35

three But the Knicks are like it's

28:38

crazy what they're doing because they just keep losing

28:40

guys and they just keep fighting harder than everyone

28:43

Keep offensive rebounding Jalen brothers and keeps being better

28:45

and better It's not

28:47

I could see them continuing to just do

28:49

this. Yeah and have everybody like how the

28:51

fuck is this happening? It's fun to watch

28:54

and the Mecca is

28:56

crazy is buzzing It is

28:58

buzzing and then the last NBA game we had

29:00

was the Mavs Evening

29:03

the series 1-1 Luca on one foot

29:05

on no feet no feet no arms

29:07

again Yeah, no arms no teeth either.

29:09

Yeah had it had an awesome game

29:12

pretty close to a triple-double at 29 to end in seven and

29:16

It was also the the Tim Hardaway game

29:18

and the PJ Washington game because both those

29:20

guys were lights out It's him Hardaway is

29:22

really good Oh, so seven for eleven from

29:24

three also real quick credit to Hughie Brown

29:27

Yeah, like give a shout out to Hughie Brown

29:30

think about Hughie Brown positive thoughts towards Hughie The

29:32

dude is 90 years old and no and he's

29:35

beloved. Nobody is out there being like

29:37

Hughie needs to get off the air. He's mixing

29:40

stuff up Hughie as sharp as ever the game

29:42

started at what 8 30 tonight Yeah,

29:44

pretty central Hughie probably he

29:46

probably wakes up at like 6 p.m.

29:48

Yeah goes to the game goes

29:51

home goes to bed Like I don't

29:53

know 4 in the morning. You know how old

29:55

people are he gets the continental breakfast at like 7 p.m

29:59

But Hughie's absolutely crying Yeah, he's

30:01

I mean he's a revelation when compared

30:03

to flying Reggie Miller and yeah, just

30:05

fly hubby hubby brown around yeah It

30:08

will be I mean I thought this

30:10

series is gonna be a dogfight back and forth So

30:13

I'm not surprised the maths won this game and

30:15

Luca. I will see he

30:18

Lucas injured Luca

30:20

also likes to let you know he's injured. Oh, yeah

30:22

Well, he really likes to let us know he's

30:24

injured cuz even when he's not injured He's injured

30:26

right because maybe you'll get like a

30:29

really late call. He's he might lead the league in

30:31

and hit a big shot lip Yeah,

30:33

he know he yells he does the big he might be the

30:35

big Ben of the NBA He might be

30:37

he could be he does two things

30:39

He'll like pretend that he's injured after

30:41

he makes a shot or he'll He'll get mad at

30:44

the ref after he makes a wide-open shot where nobody

30:46

came close to touching him And he's still mad about

30:48

something from like five plays ago at that same ref

30:50

right a scream at the crew He's always angry about

30:52

something. Yeah, you could actually get Luca cuz yeah, you're

30:55

right Like when he yells at a ref his injury

30:57

goes away Yeah, so when he's yelling at a ref

30:59

the ref needs to be like are you injured or

31:01

you yelling at me? Are you mad? It's like he

31:03

it's like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at

31:05

the same time Yeah, can't be both right and it's

31:07

like it's like when my kids are like when they

31:10

don't want to eat their dinner They're like my tummy

31:12

hurts. I'm like great. We won't have dessert. No, I

31:14

know my tummy doesn't hurt anymore Yep, that's what Luca

31:16

is doing when you yell at a ref. It's like

31:18

so your leg doesn't hurt. No, no, it still hurts

31:20

Yeah There was blood on his one of his sleeves

31:22

tonight on his leg and he was being extra He's

31:24

so good And if he was doing a really good

31:26

job of was just staring down at the blood on

31:28

his leg all the time to make sure Everybody knew

31:30

that there was blood on his leg. Yeah, how what

31:33

shirt did they wear in the first game? Was it white?

31:36

I think it was a combo. I think so. Yeah, that's

31:38

right. It was different like the blue tonight Yeah, it was

31:40

all blue. It kind of looked like it was just seats.

31:42

Well, also that's the Mavs colors, too Yeah,

31:44

I guess they're they have white as well. Yeah, but

31:46

it To the untrained eye

31:49

from a distance across a big room. It looked

31:51

like it was just empty seats there But I'm

31:53

sure was loud. This series is gonna be very

31:55

fun Should we talk a little hockey the Rangers

31:57

are an absolute wagon. They're up 3-0

31:59

against the hurricanes in

32:02

the hockey world the hurricanes I think

32:04

are the the big-time fraud alert team

32:07

because every year they're the advanced analytics

32:09

level and they just do this

32:12

so it looks I mean the Rangers haven't lost

32:14

in these playoffs so you actually did you guys

32:17

go to overtime in any of your games no

32:20

did we? no I don't think so I

32:22

was gonna say maybe you will lose less

32:24

we yeah on aggregate but they

32:26

went to overtime yeah yeah

32:28

no let's try to spin zone the capital stink

32:30

I don't don't patronize the capitals I'm not trying

32:33

to be a bad team the Rangers

32:35

7-0 last time they were 7-0 won the

32:38

Stanley Cup or 94 feels like

32:40

94 feels like 94 Marc Massier OJ

32:42

in the news for death again yeah

32:44

yeah and the and Pavel Buri and

32:46

the Canucks and those those Canucks uniforms

32:48

rocked yeah they were like bad but

32:51

awesome yeah that was it that was

32:53

a very fun game yeah so the

32:55

Vancouver crowd they yeah

32:57

love their hockey yeah oh that

33:00

yeah that Vancouver Oilers game I

33:02

have to admit I did fall asleep and I was

33:05

shocked at the score yeah because it felt like the

33:07

Oilers had that game and even like

33:09

even in the first period it was it

33:11

was very workman like Oilers get

33:13

a power play they score okay we're off

33:16

and running everything's good and the Canucks just

33:18

period of the week here the week was

33:20

the third period of that come back and

33:22

win that game that's my number it absolutely

33:25

that was awesome so I mean the Canucks

33:27

biz told us like Canucks

33:29

kind of have no business like they were

33:31

not no business but they didn't have the

33:33

expectations of being this team this year and

33:35

they just keep getting they keep finding a

33:37

way yeah I had credit to your Bruins

33:39

though for scrapping it up a little bit

33:41

that was an awesome fight it was well

33:43

yeah he got punched right in his head

33:45

well he got cheap shot I was gonna

33:47

say that pasta taking that fight was awesome

33:49

oh he's not a fighter nope and Kachuck

33:51

is Like a badass pasta asked

33:53

like you asked the coach for permission. Yeah well no he

33:55

I don't think he asked for permission I think he told

33:57

him he was doing it and you could see the coach.

34:00

The guy, what? Oh okay, you

34:02

wanna do this? Go. Ahead is

34:04

that's what you should absolutely do in a game

34:06

where you get it is kicked in the playoffs.

34:09

You. Should Always going to fight at the end of it.

34:11

Yeah, yeah, swimming magic wore off a little bit, but

34:13

he was young. Unconscious

34:16

to for that so's in water always

34:18

finds level. but be a big bounce

34:20

back. I'm a mic insists he the

34:22

bounce back or tonight so bossy. Yeah

34:24

yeah to load up on some pasta

34:26

props he added, did city contracts and

34:28

getting a Spencer is in right. That.

34:30

Was a cheap shot. The act yeah like the I

34:33

think of first hit him on the way down the

34:35

of well I think the London and him again I

34:37

think they hit on the way down was like borderline

34:39

okay because they're still fighting but the one when he

34:41

was all the way down it's like come on yeah

34:44

you can't do that. Yeah don't do that. And

34:47

then does the stars when they be to yeah

34:49

Avalanche I had we had some good series gone

34:51

except for the rangers her kids. As.

34:53

Over. I did not watch

34:55

the Stars Avalanche tonight but in theory I know

34:57

that's an electric series or next time we have

35:00

does or went on out to be like what

35:02

a great series that yes tells how to great

35:04

to tell us how great of yeah he says

35:06

I'm okay I had some rapid fire things where

35:08

if you guys are down for the I got

35:10

one thing to give up. Okay, The

35:12

Nfl Skyn? Yes it is. You're a rabbit

35:15

farthingale. Okay. The Athos King. Your do Christmas

35:17

games again this year. That's not the news.

35:19

The news is that it looks like they're

35:21

going to be a baby. Two games all

35:24

the Christmas Day games. On.

35:26

Netflix which is interesting because Netflix has

35:28

never broadcast in Nfl game before. Correct.

35:31

I don't know the answers gonna be.

35:33

Is Netflix going to have their own

35:35

announcing crew? You yeah, maybe Brady? Are

35:37

they gonna rent Tom Brady for day and then he'll

35:39

go on Sunday and and work at Fox? Continue the

35:42

roast. He would, yeah continue the roast. The would you

35:44

know what that? Here's here's the thing that's really pissed

35:46

the in the ass about this and then as I

35:48

can do whatever the fuck they want and they're going

35:50

to dominate the and be in ratings. Not.

35:53

Only are they taking away. Christmas.

35:56

Day from the of yeah. They're. Also

35:58

taking away the ability. people

36:00

to comfortably change the channel

36:02

to the NBA games. Correct.

36:04

During commercial break, quarter breaks

36:07

and halftime because signing

36:09

out of Netflix, turning on to

36:11

cable if you're watching on cable or to

36:13

a different streaming app. Yep. Such a pain

36:15

in the dick to do that. And so

36:17

they're taking away even the the pity ratings

36:19

that you would get for like a quick

36:21

two minute check in on the NBA Christmas

36:23

games. And remember, Christmas is

36:25

on a Wednesday this year. And the

36:28

NFL has had previously said they

36:30

weren't going to touch like middle

36:32

of the week Christmas day. Christmas day.

36:34

Remember, last year they were

36:36

like, because there is a rule there, they

36:39

don't do Friday night games because of high

36:41

school football. But last year they're like,

36:43

Fuck it, we'll do a Friday afternoon game Black Friday.

36:46

Now, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter when

36:48

the game's gonna be, they're gonna play it. And we'll show

36:50

up. Yeah, we're gonna watch it. Do

36:53

you think there's a chance any of our teams are in it? On

36:56

Christmas? Yeah.

36:59

How many games are there? I mean, our teams,

37:02

the acts probably has the best chance. They do

37:04

love scheduling the bears and prime time and for

37:06

a national audience. They love doing that. I think

37:08

we might get a prime time game. Again,

37:11

I think we actually all might get prime time games

37:13

against each other. Because

37:15

of the draft. Oh, because of the rookies. Yeah.

37:18

We play each other again. Yeah, we're the the

37:21

bears and the Patriots are that weird, like

37:23

added game, you know how we played

37:25

each other like I know with the

37:27

17 game season, if you

37:30

play a whole division and there's one added from

37:32

the other conference and for some reason we drew

37:34

you. But

37:36

and then we play again, we're gonna play

37:38

again. I hope it's Thursday night as is

37:40

tradition. Tattoo bat. Tattoo bat run it back.

37:42

Yep. They're probably gonna do it's later on

37:44

the season. So it might even

37:47

be a divisional game.

37:50

What? Oh, yeah, yeah. Because it's Christmas day.

37:52

Yeah, yeah. Because they had the right games with the Raiders

37:55

and the Chiefs last year. Yeah, how many games are there?

37:57

Two or three. I'm not sure. Hey, give

37:59

us. The whole i heard the parent but. I

38:02

just was A For the record I'm so this

38:05

few times I wanted you to per better livestream.

38:07

38:17

be able to get to person come out. So.

38:20

I didn't have enough time to scheduled purse. I would do

38:22

a perm. If. Somebody else if somebody

38:24

max goods good accountable is max or meme schedules

38:26

the from I will absolute do it. Love that

38:28

would that would Now we ended up like make

38:30

it a moment though it is I do. It

38:32

would be boring if we just did in the

38:34

middle of summer and ask me during football season.

38:37

I agree. Yeah yeah we should learn during my

38:39

Subaru all that we should wait thousand more we

38:41

learn for we should wait. I'm I'm down to

38:43

do whenever. Yeah. With. His

38:45

dinners only some. Know. Yeah baseball

38:47

I will do for join forces ears off

38:49

warfare or okay. ready for my rapid fire?

38:51

Yep. Ah, First stop. Chaka.

38:55

Khan coward. We don't really like him, but. Credit

38:58

to him for going backwards. had coached

39:00

take would Jj redick saying she's erratic

39:02

to not be coached is wearing backwards

39:04

at yeah good Didn't keep fucking that

39:06

chicken to he says i mean I

39:09

just I once you get the coaches

39:11

by weight. Gg. Recipes

39:13

exclusively to tried. To.

39:16

Le Bron is really defend he'd Le Bron

39:18

defended Gg Reddit against calm coward. feels like

39:21

he feels like he could be feels like

39:23

Jj is is the hot name out there

39:25

and his base have no information but I

39:27

am more business just seeing abroad defending his.

39:29

Le Bron doesn't interact with com Coward. Yeah

39:31

and you know what when we as Jj

39:34

when he was on the show our he

39:36

would feel that coating the Lakers. he said

39:38

they have a coach. he didn't sit and

39:40

have dinner really answer the question they have

39:42

a coach that leaves you are next rapid

39:44

fire It. Sucks. To

39:47

have to coach now sucks in a

39:49

relative term because these guys make millions

39:51

of dollars. Ah, and they get paid

39:53

to not work, But. Frank. Vogel got

39:55

fired from Sons today. Darman Ham got fired

39:57

last week. That's. how to

39:59

be the worst job in sports as a head coach right

40:02

now is signing up to coach

40:04

a super team because no matter what

40:06

happens it's never the players

40:08

fault it's always the coach's fault. Yeah I

40:10

think the trick is to coach a super

40:12

team but it's when they're in their like

40:14

late 20s early 30s. Yeah. If you get

40:16

older superstars that are joining up to form

40:18

a super team. Also Bradley Beale I don't

40:21

know can you call the the sons of

40:23

super team? Well they tried to.

40:25

They tried. Kind of like the Eagles when they

40:27

were super team. Yeah it was an attempted super

40:29

team but dream team. Oh yeah dream team. It

40:31

was an attempted big three. I just

40:34

like Darvin Hammond was

40:36

was not a great coach. Frank Vogel

40:39

has a championship maybe wasn't a

40:41

great coach for the Suns. He had a

40:43

decent regular season. Right

40:45

but it doesn't matter because if you don't

40:47

if you flame out in the playoffs with

40:50

one of these teams with a big three

40:52

or a super team you are

40:54

the fall guy every single time. It's

40:56

never the players. Do you think maybe Pat Riley

40:58

is a secret genius and that's why when the

41:00

Heat everyone was saying like Pat

41:03

Riley is gonna come down and take over the job

41:05

from Spolstra. Yeah. Was he a genius by just

41:07

being like I'm gonna I'm gonna let this guy coach

41:09

the team. Yeah. So that way he'll be fired I

41:11

won't have to fire myself. And Spoh is just he's

41:13

one of the best coaches but yeah I don't

41:15

know like what if

41:18

if the Lakers offered Spoh 15

41:21

million dollars a year. He'd

41:23

probably have to take it because it'd be 15 million dollars a

41:25

year but I think he would think twice being like if we

41:27

don't win a championship I'm the only guy who's gonna get blamed.

41:30

How much do you think he gets paid? I

41:32

don't know what NBA coaches like he's probably gets

41:34

like seven or eight. I'm doing California

41:36

tax math right now compared to Florida. Oh good

41:38

point. Yeah. Good point. It probably has to be

41:41

closer to 17. You have to deal with Gavin

41:43

Newsom on a regular basis. You have to go

41:45

to French Laundry with him. Mm-hmm. Let

41:47

me see Eric Spohsra salary Eric

41:51

Spohsra salary. Oh he already makes 15 million

41:53

a year. Oh yeah he's gonna need like

41:55

23. 15

41:59

million a year he deserves Yeah. Alright,

42:01

so what if it was the... Yeah,

42:04

so if they offered them 30, pop

42:06

is number one at 16. Okay,

42:08

yeah. Your point is valid, which is

42:10

like if you have old

42:12

superstars that are uniting with each other

42:15

and they still have the championship expectations

42:17

and they've never played together and they've

42:19

had long careers before trying to make

42:21

this team work, you're kind of signing

42:23

up on your own death warrant right there.

42:25

Yeah. Exactly. And

42:27

if you win the championship, there's a chance you

42:29

could be fired. Yeah, right. The

42:31

next rapid fire thing, we should

42:34

have talked about it with the Celtics, but

42:36

that was some peak, peak sports talk radio

42:39

with Tony

42:41

Maz. Felger Maz. Saying... Kings.

42:44

You saw this clip, PFT? I did not see this

42:46

one. It was one of the greatest sports radio moments,

42:49

and when I say greatest, the worst. He

42:51

said that if the Celtics win the championship

42:53

this year, doesn't it feel a little hollow

42:55

because there's not really any good teams? It's

42:57

a good point. I hadn't

43:00

thought about that. All time take. That

43:03

was a we don't have anything to talk

43:05

about take. No, they're all time contrarians. Hey,

43:07

quick question for you. If they win

43:10

the championship this year, doesn't it feel a little bit hollow? No.

43:13

Yeah. Does it ease to so bad? No. Okay.

43:18

Yeah. It's a quick no. So did they

43:20

actually have a discussion about that? Yeah. I

43:23

saw like a 30 second clip, but

43:25

yeah, he was like, Felger was

43:27

like, no, the NBA dude,

43:29

and he's like, well, like, why

43:31

don't they just play a YMCA team and

43:33

call it a championship? They're the number one show

43:36

in town. Crazy. It's making a

43:38

lot of sense. They've riled up the city

43:40

of Boston for the last 15 years. But

43:42

what you're not considering is like what if...

43:44

Bruins, Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox. What if they

43:46

only played against like girls teams in high

43:48

school, and for some reason that's the NBA

43:50

schedule and they win? Hollow.

43:54

Think about it. But yeah, what's the difference between

43:56

that and this? I just love when Sports Talk

43:58

radio guys are just like, you know... You know what,

44:00

let's just fucking, we have nothing to really talk

44:02

about. Let's just say that this championship doesn't, that

44:05

it doesn't exist yet, doesn't count if it does

44:07

exist. This is what's so funny about Boston is

44:09

they've won so many things that they're already like

44:12

figuring out reasons to not get super excited about

44:14

the next championship. It was crazy. Uh, alright, my

44:16

next one was, did you guys see the new

44:19

iPad Pro? No. People

44:22

are very mad because the iPad

44:24

Pro commercial, uh, it's, uh, it's basically,

44:26

it looks like, fuck,

44:28

I'm losing my words. Uh,

44:31

the smash thing that they use, where

44:34

they smash things, the compactor. Yeah. So

44:36

the pneumatic press. Yeah. There it

44:38

is. Pneumatic press. So it's the iPad

44:41

Pro is a pneumatic press and it's pressing down

44:43

on like all these instruments, like a piano, a

44:45

trumpet, uh, because it fits all that in the

44:47

iPad Pro and people are very upset. We're

44:50

going to get mad at that. They're like, oh,

44:52

so we're just throwing away like thousands of years

44:54

of cultural, like meaningful things for

44:56

fucking technology. And then the, wait, then

44:58

the iPad Pro does not get crushed

45:01

by it. No, no, it all

45:03

goes into the iPad Pro. Oh, all that shit gets combined. I thought

45:05

you were going to say people are getting upset because people

45:07

love watching those press videos. Oh, I do

45:09

too. Because it's like therapeutic. Yeah. To

45:12

see what, watch things get crushed. And if the iPad doesn't get

45:14

crushed, people are like, what the fuck? You've got to crush the

45:16

iPad. Yeah. No, they're like, uh, Tim

45:19

Cook, way to, way to ruin

45:21

the world with your new sleek

45:23

iPad Pro. They just did it because

45:25

of the commercial. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of bad stuff

45:27

that goes into that too. If you really want to

45:29

talk about everything that's happened. Yeah. I

45:31

wish it would, it would have been cool if they had just made that

45:34

maybe out of order guys will do it where it's

45:36

just like the iPad Pro crushing like

45:38

gambling apps, porn sites, do like, look,

45:40

you got it all right here. Everything

45:43

in there. Yeah. All your

45:45

streaming services right here. All right. Next rapid

45:47

fire topic. Greg Doyle suspended. So that, yeah.

45:49

Loved it. Why would happen?

45:52

Good call. Do you like that? I like

45:54

it. Yeah. Do you do

45:57

that a little bit more and I'll treat you nice. We'll

45:59

be just fine. Yeah. The other clip is

46:01

so funny from that press conference too, when he talks to the

46:04

coach, he's like, so you got the keys

46:06

to that. Yeah, to that. What are you going to do

46:08

about that? A lot

46:10

of journalists were actually being like, that's

46:12

an overreaction to suspend him. I just

46:14

like it because Greg Doyle's scold and

46:16

him getting suspended for this is one

46:19

of the funniest ways to get suspended.

46:21

Hey, why did you get suspended from

46:23

covering one of the

46:25

most popular athletes in sports right now? I

46:28

did the heart signal tour and I was really creepy. No,

46:30

it's just like he got suspended for being a creep. So

46:33

here's what's bad about suspending him. At

46:37

some point he's going to come back from suspension.

46:39

Correct. And then he is going

46:41

to have to apologize to Caitlin Clark and

46:43

he is going to do that in the most

46:46

creepy way possible. Yeah, it actually sucks for Caitlin

46:48

Clark. Yes. Like Caitlin Clark probably

46:50

doesn't want him suspended, just wants him sitting in

46:52

the back of the newsroom and just not even

46:54

asking questions anymore because now when he does come

46:56

back, it's a whole other story where she has

46:58

to accept his apology, all that bullshit. What she

47:00

should do is say like, I don't want him

47:03

in the room. And then

47:05

the indie star will, they'll have to

47:07

say okay because she's the biggest

47:09

sports, she's a story in town right now. Like

47:12

she is the face of women's

47:14

sports across the world. And so

47:16

if they just tell him, no, you can't get, because if he

47:18

does come back, he's going to try to do like, he's going

47:20

to try to get cute with his apology. Yeah, of course. He's

47:23

going to say something that's going to make it worse. He's

47:25

going to feel like she has to accept his apology because

47:27

she probably just doesn't want to deal with his shit anymore.

47:30

And then it's going to be a very weird

47:32

dynamic. So just don't let him around the fever.

47:34

He should actually not be suspended. He should just

47:36

have to go to every game with a t-shirt

47:38

that says, I'm not a creep, but I ask

47:40

creepy questions. They should just make

47:43

a Doyle rule, which is not allowed to talk to

47:45

women. Don't

47:47

talk to women, Greg. Talk to women. Well,

47:49

how would he have found out that he was wrong? He

47:53

already talked to the women in his life. Right. Just

47:56

don't talk to women as part of your

47:58

job. Yeah, ever. Okay,

48:00

last one. This one

48:02

is probably the biggest one. We have

48:04

to come to the defense of one

48:07

of Max's heroes Max

48:10

I assume you've seen this Shady

48:15

McCoy no, that's one of your

48:17

heroes chip. Kelly No, you

48:19

were quite what yeah, and we have to come to his

48:21

defense because we've been there Jason

48:23

Kelsey is fighting a war

48:25

online against horse Twitter Because

48:28

he implied that secretariat might have

48:30

done steroids and

48:33

If everyone for a

48:35

long time AWL's you remember this

48:37

for new ones welcome We

48:41

almost got canceled by horse Twitter in

48:43

2016 because we called Nyquist of fucking

48:45

pussy ass bitch for not running

48:47

in the Belmont Yes, and we said that he

48:49

was getting fat. Yeah, and that's why he didn't

48:51

run. He looked like Eddie Lacey Yeah And

48:54

then there I'm just getting

48:56

word now that there may have been some

48:58

photo shops done of Nyquist making him look

49:00

super Overweight. Yeah to the point where Nyquist

49:02

got bullied off Twitter. Yes, he deactivated his

49:04

little horse Twitter account We did that so

49:06

we did that we know what you're going

49:08

through. I still believe in the First Amendment

49:11

Yeah, when it comes to insinuating

49:13

and slandering horses. Yeah, so Jason

49:15

speak speak your truth Yeah,

49:18

it's it's just a very funny Controversy

49:22

to get in where he just

49:24

was like yeah They did a lot of steroids

49:26

in the 70s and his heart was three times

49:28

bigger That feels like steroids

49:30

and people are mad people are very mad

49:32

like I mean he

49:35

some people still have secretary posters on

49:37

their wall. Listen secretary is the greatest

49:39

athlete who ever lived, correct? It

49:42

was funny how he apologized on Twitter too

49:44

because he he gave like a an emotional

49:46

apology being like I'm sorry for making Accusations

49:49

towards this horse. Yeah, I've been dead for

49:51

four. It's ridiculous. Yeah, it's a ridiculous controversy.

49:54

We stand with you Jason Kelsey It's fucking

49:56

ridiculous. We're talking about a horse and I

49:58

love horses. I love betting on it horses,

50:01

but saying Secretary did steroids should not

50:03

ruin anyone's day. You know what? I'm

50:06

going to go one further than Jason Kelsey.

50:08

I will say they should dig up Secretariat's

50:10

body and test them. Drug test them.

50:13

Drug test them. Oh wait, it's the only

50:15

record in sports that has never been broken

50:17

in terms of speed or power for

50:20

all these years. Every other

50:22

sport across the entire

50:24

planet has gotten better since the

50:26

1970s. And

50:28

we're saying horse racing is the one that hasn't?

50:31

He's making great points. Think about it.

50:34

Dig that horse up. Making great points.

50:37

Also Max, since I saw

50:39

this trending and I was like let me see what's going

50:41

on here, and I went to Jason

50:43

Kelsey's page and

50:45

I think he recently just followed me. Really?

50:49

Yes. That rock. He

50:51

follows 48 people. That rock. So

50:55

you're one step away. I knew that would

50:57

excite Max. Max is sounding so creepy right

50:59

now. No, no, that's just cool. I did

51:02

message him. I was like don't apologize. We

51:04

have your back. I'm going

51:06

to wait to tell him that we have a

51:08

producer that would literally die for him. I

51:11

think that's more of like a month

51:13

or two down the line. Don't embarrass me. Well,

51:16

do you not want me to say that? I don't know. Oh

51:18

wait, he follows me too. There we go. Max

51:20

says he follow you? No.

51:23

He follows me too. No, he doesn't.

51:26

He does not follow me. I'm

51:29

going to fall him back. He

51:31

follows you first? Yes, same with me. Same

51:33

with me. That's so cool. I was like

51:35

wait, don't follow Jason Kelsey. I'm going to

51:37

tell him not to follow Max. What the

51:39

hell? No, don't even bring me up. This

51:42

is like, hey our producer Max, he's a

51:44

real big horse fan. He was very upset

51:46

with what he said about secretary. For the

51:48

record confirmed doesn't follow me. I just. Shit.

51:51

Alright, yeah, so maybe me and PFD need to

51:53

just hit him on like just double strike being

51:56

like hey could you quickly follow this guy? I

51:58

would be. Don't embarrass me. Max,

52:00

here's how much I love you. I would trade, if

52:02

he's trying to keep it at 48, take

52:05

me off. Yeah, me too. Put Max in. Well, no, wait,

52:07

what if we both get taken off? What

52:09

if this is an empty dress? He's gotta follow

52:11

Mr. Pear, too. Empty promise. Yeah. You

52:15

know two guys who have a direct

52:17

line to Jason Kelsey. No,

52:19

that's cool, that's sick of you guys. It is sick.

52:22

You know what, I'm not gonna tell him

52:25

to follow Max. I'm gonna actually say Max

52:28

is so crazy in love with you that he

52:30

has a can of soup that he refuses to

52:32

eat because your face is on it. That's

52:35

probably better, right? Our producer, Max, wears your

52:37

face on his shirt, like 90%. And

52:40

he's kind of on his own face. Yeah.

52:44

I just want, yeah, yes. He

52:46

wants to be you. That is correct. Or at

52:48

least inside you. You wanna remake face off? No,

52:50

I mean, Max, not like that, I meant like

52:52

you wanna look like, you

52:55

want your skin to look like this. Inside and out, I

52:57

would like to be like Jason Kelsey, if that makes sense.

52:59

But would you be inside him if offered?

53:02

No, stop that. No, but

53:04

Max, you're already doing this with the other Kelsey.

53:06

If we could take your brain right now. No,

53:08

I didn't say no. And put it in

53:10

Jason Kelsey's body and then you would just walk

53:12

around with your brain, but now you are Jason

53:15

Kelsey, would you do it? For

53:18

like a day. I'll say it, you know

53:20

what, I'll say it. I don't believe that

53:22

Max is actually a fan of Jason Kelsey

53:24

until I see video proof of Jason Kelsey

53:26

inside of Max. Yeah, yeah. That's

53:31

fair, that's fair, grudge. We're gonna get

53:33

on Paul's so fast. Yeah, this is bullshit, guys,

53:35

you're ruining this. We've met him before. We've

53:38

hung out with him. No, that also sucks.

53:40

And we were both hanging out in the

53:42

summer. I know, beer Olympics, which we will

53:44

not, we'll know. I don't wanna say

53:46

we will not. I don't think we're backing out. We can't

53:48

back out. I don't think we are going to. No,

53:50

I don't think we're probably not gonna back out of it. Will

53:53

we? I don't know. Can we? No.

53:57

We're definitely maybe

53:59

not gonna back out. It's gonna be so hot in

54:01

Vegas. Yeah. It's

54:04

like, it's during the week. And

54:08

we're kind of closer with Jason Kelsey now than

54:10

we are with Will and Taylor. And they backed

54:12

out. Yeah, but I mean

54:15

we told them that we'd do it when they told

54:18

us it was different days. Yeah, we can't back out,

54:20

right? Hank? Hank,

54:25

should we? We can't. We can't back

54:27

out. No, we won't. No, we can't. Nah.

54:30

No, we can't. I will be there no matter

54:32

what. Yeah. We can't. We're

54:34

gonna golf. Yeah, we're gonna golf. We're

54:36

gonna golf. It's gonna be so hot. It's gonna

54:39

be so hot. We're gonna golf at four in the morning.

54:41

We'll be fine. I never thought it

54:43

would be this hard to get us out to

54:46

Vegas to gamble in a casino

54:48

where you literally can't lose. Well, I think

54:50

the part where you and I have to

54:52

compete against a bunch of NFL

54:54

offensive linemen in your drinking. Well, not Jason

54:57

Kelsey. True. He's

55:00

not really an NFL offensive lineman. He's more

55:02

just good friends of ours. Yeah, my buddy.

55:04

Yeah. My buddy JK. And soon to be

55:06

inside of Max. Yeah. He was

55:08

on stage at a Mount Joy concert. I was

55:11

showing PFT. That was cool. That was all you

55:13

were just showing. You were showing PFT pictures of

55:15

Jason Kelsey. No, it was a video. He played

55:17

a video. You know those people that are in

55:19

the crowd during Rod shows? They have

55:21

their phones out and they're recording it and they're like, what

55:23

are these people recording it for? Are they gonna go

55:25

back and watch it later? No, they're recording it so they

55:27

can get posted online. Then Max can show me his

55:29

phone of somebody doing that. So Max, you basically did

55:32

like here. You want to see a picture of my

55:34

kids, but it was Jason Kelsey at a concert. It

55:37

was cool. I asked PFT

55:39

if he was a Mount Joy fan. Also love Mount

55:41

Joy. Mount Joy rocks. Yeah. Good

55:44

bet. And Jason Kelsey approved. And Jason Kelsey approved.

55:46

Which means us approved too. Us approved as well.

55:48

The thing about us, we have so much in

55:50

common with Jason. That's right. That's

55:53

a fact. Okay. Good

55:55

opening to the show. Kendrick Perkins, awesome

55:57

55:59

57:54

ESPN all the time He's got some spicy

57:56

takes we want to get to talk

57:59

some NBA players playoffs. It is Kendrick

58:01

Perkins. Perk, great to have

58:03

you on. We're watching the

58:05

Celtics fourth quarter right now, so we

58:07

will have some questions about this game

58:10

after the game. But I wanted to

58:12

start with the series that everyone's

58:14

going to watch. We're going to air this obviously

58:16

on Friday. Everyone's going to watch tonight as

58:19

they're listening to this, the Nuggets and the

58:21

Wolves. And you are the guy who

58:23

said that Anthony Edwards reminds you of Michael Jordan. I think

58:25

it was you and Pat Bev. But

58:28

when you watch this Wolves

58:30

team, has

58:32

it clicked like, hey, this team can win it

58:34

all? The way they're playing and they're so young

58:36

and hungry, what are you seeing? Well,

58:39

one, appreciate you fellas for having me

58:41

on. Y'all continue to do a great

58:44

job because that's exactly what y'all are

58:46

doing there and y'all doing it Yahweh.

58:48

That's first thing first. Thank you. When

58:50

I look at the Minnesota Timberwolves, the

58:53

number one thing that pokes out to me is

58:56

the togetherness. The number two

58:58

thing is they have a bunch

59:00

of dogs. Okay. And it's led

59:02

by Anthony Edwards. And

59:05

I said this, you know, in March,

59:07

that when it comes to the

59:09

young up and coming superstars, I've

59:12

never seen a leader like him and he's

59:14

the best young leader in the game of

59:17

basketball. And so when

59:19

you look at their personnel, right, I

59:22

was wondering last year, could call

59:24

Anthony tiles and Rudy Goldberg, can

59:26

they coexist? The answer is hell

59:28

yeah. Because cats could, you know, stretch

59:30

the floor. So when I'm looking

59:33

at their perimeter defense before I even

59:35

addressed the interior, I'm looking at

59:37

an old school Mike Conley, who this

59:39

year, this season, he was holding his

59:41

opponents to 31. He was 31st in

59:46

the league for his opponent field goal

59:48

percentage. Jay McDaniels. He was sports

59:50

in the league, a pony field

59:53

goal percentage. Anthony Edwards, he was

59:55

10th in the league opponent field

59:57

goal percentage. Then you have Rudy.

1:00:00

there who's ready to swat everything. So

1:00:02

when I'm looking at this, I'm like, they don't give

1:00:05

a damn who you are. And

1:00:07

when I started to watch the series

1:00:09

against the Phoenix Suns, and

1:00:11

I'm watching Rudy and Carl Anthony-Townes

1:00:13

go at Kevin Durant on

1:00:16

the perimeter and slide those puppies and they switching

1:00:18

out on the picking rows, I'm like, hold on.

1:00:21

Hold on. Jimmy Butler couldn't pull

1:00:23

inside of Carl Anthony-Townes when he was

1:00:25

in Minnesota, and Donovan Mitchell couldn't pull

1:00:28

this out of Rudy Goldbur. And so

1:00:30

I'm thinking about it, I'm like, man,

1:00:32

this team is serious. Yeah. And then they

1:00:34

get to the defending champs and

1:00:37

they kick in their ass. Yeah. And

1:00:39

the game two, real

1:00:41

talk game two was

1:00:43

probably one of the greatest performances

1:00:46

defensively that I've ever seen in

1:00:48

my damn life. Yes. It was

1:00:50

a clinic. That by the way, I love the

1:00:52

way you say dogs. I love the way you say

1:00:55

dog. And I love the way you say Gober.

1:00:57

Yeah. Like he's high school. Yeah. Yeah. It's

1:01:00

Rudy Gober. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like for French.

1:01:02

Yeah. You know what I mean? French. So

1:01:04

it was a clinic. So what if you're

1:01:06

the Nuggets, what do they do? Like what

1:01:08

do you, if you're in that locker room,

1:01:10

what is said after game two and what's

1:01:12

the fix? It's

1:01:14

nothing that you can say. Either

1:01:16

you got to end you or you don't. I

1:01:21

know Michael Malone was, he said something the

1:01:23

other day, I think it was yesterday that

1:01:26

he said, Hey, we did the fender champs and

1:01:28

I need guys in this locker room who are

1:01:30

going to believe and go down to Minnesota and

1:01:32

get a game three. Well, it's easier

1:01:34

to say it than done when you're dealing with a

1:01:37

team that don't give a damn. Right.

1:01:39

And Anthony L was followed up and

1:01:41

he said, we know they're going to come in and give

1:01:43

us daily best punch, but guess what? We're going to punch

1:01:45

back. And when you add,

1:01:47

when you add that type of confidence, it's

1:01:50

just on a different level. I don't know

1:01:52

if there's anything they can do. Murray

1:01:55

is not a hundred percent. Jamal Murray is

1:01:57

not a hundred percent. He's dealing with injuries.

1:02:00

That's a bad time and especially when

1:02:02

you face a McDaniels. Jokic,

1:02:05

he's shooting 42%

1:02:09

from the field against Minnesota.

1:02:12

Carl Anthony-Townes, Rudy,

1:02:14

and Nas Reed, they ain't going nowhere.

1:02:17

So I don't know what else they can

1:02:19

do. Just think how important Jeff Green and

1:02:21

Bruce Brown was to this

1:02:23

team last year. They don't have them. And

1:02:26

so with the Nuggets, you said there's not a

1:02:28

lot that they can do. The matchups are an

1:02:30

issue for him and especially how they're making Jokic

1:02:32

play in places he's a little bit uncomfortable. I

1:02:35

saw you referred to them. I don't know if

1:02:37

you said that they were babies, the Nuggets, the

1:02:39

B word, or if you said they were playing

1:02:41

like babies or acting like babies. But have the

1:02:44

T-Wolves turned the Nuggets into babies? No,

1:02:46

no, no. I said, so this is

1:02:49

what I said. I said

1:02:51

the T-Wolves got them

1:02:54

prying like babies. Okay. And

1:02:56

what I said was that the

1:03:00

Denver Nuggets are doing all their damn crying. They

1:03:02

got it. What the babies going to do? If

1:03:04

you're going to do all their damn crying, what the babies going to

1:03:06

do? If you're going to shed all the tears, they

1:03:09

had Michael Malone whining to the referees. They

1:03:11

had Jamal Murray crying to the referees. They

1:03:14

had them uncomfortable. Yeah.

1:03:17

No, it was. It was crazy to watch because

1:03:19

I don't really know. I

1:03:22

feel like the only fix the Nuggets really

1:03:24

have is they got to try to maybe

1:03:26

play faster and get some guys in foul

1:03:28

trouble. But it does feel like the defense

1:03:31

from the Wolves just bothers the Nuggets to

1:03:33

a level that we haven't seen. And they

1:03:35

also got to play better. Jokic is

1:03:37

a three-time MVP. He's got to play better. Michael

1:03:40

Porter Jr. makes like $30 million a year. He's

1:03:43

got to play better. They've

1:03:46

been tested for the first time in the last

1:03:48

year and a half. And how they answer this

1:03:50

test will tell you a lot. It'll show their

1:03:52

true character. Yeah. Right?

1:03:54

It'll show their true character. I mean, you never

1:03:56

know what their true character is

1:03:58

until they hear their voice. Yeah,

1:04:01

no, but since I'm all merged on the heat

1:04:03

pad on the down floor Yeah,

1:04:05

yeah, it's crazy to watch

1:04:08

because of how easy it is seen for them in the last

1:04:10

year and a half Really two years.

1:04:12

They've been coming on like this Also

1:04:15

out West Oklahoma City use the term that

1:04:17

I really like about the Oklahoma City Thunder.

1:04:19

We like watching play they're fun You

1:04:22

said that they play agenda free basketball. Mmm

1:04:24

in Oklahoma City Yeah, can you can you

1:04:26

describe what agenda free basketball is and why

1:04:28

it's beautiful to watch? While

1:04:30

tell you it's not the same type

1:04:32

of basketball you watch from the Detroit

1:04:34

Pistons or the Washington Wizards It's a

1:04:37

complete opposite of that right agenda

1:04:39

free basketball is when you're watching

1:04:41

a team Pass up

1:04:43

good shots to get great shots Right

1:04:45

and you don't see that in a

1:04:47

lot of young teams because everybody want

1:04:49

to be the hero when you're watching

1:04:51

the team guys So

1:04:54

from actually getting the actual assists to

1:04:56

just getting the hockey assists the pass

1:04:59

is going to lead to the assists

1:05:01

Okay defensively, you're watching

1:05:03

a team that that's talking loading up

1:05:06

boxes and elbows, you know communicating

1:05:08

switches Challenging everything

1:05:11

at the basket That's

1:05:13

a gender free basketball because they don't look

1:05:15

at the box score to see what type

1:05:17

of numbers That they're

1:05:19

putting up themselves They just the only number that

1:05:21

they care about is whether or not they win

1:05:24

the game or not and so

1:05:26

when I watch them, it's just a beautiful thing

1:05:28

to see because They're clamping

1:05:30

up Luke darts is doing his thing

1:05:33

and they encourage him on another Let

1:05:35

me tell you when you could tell

1:05:37

when especially in basketball when a team

1:05:40

is together and they they have no

1:05:42

hidden agendas whatsoever Just

1:05:44

watch the bench If

1:05:46

you watch the bench When the guys who are

1:05:49

not in the game if they up off the

1:05:51

bench and they're clapping in their room for their

1:05:53

teammates Then you know that team

1:05:55

is really really special and God then lost

1:05:57

themselves into the ball club You

1:06:00

played on teams, I imagine, that were agenda free and

1:06:03

also teams that had agendas, that

1:06:05

had players that had their own agendas. If you're on

1:06:07

the bench and you decide whether or not you're going

1:06:09

to get into the game, you're going to stand up,

1:06:12

you're going to be a part of that action

1:06:14

on the sidelines, what is it about the

1:06:16

players on the team that make the guys

1:06:18

on the bench respond or not respond? Well,

1:06:21

I think we

1:06:23

respond to, and that's a great question

1:06:25

because when you're on the bench, you're

1:06:28

always going to respond to what

1:06:30

the average fan is

1:06:32

not seeing, right? And

1:06:35

that's the little things, whether, you know, and

1:06:37

that's the things that is rehearsed behind closed

1:06:39

doors in the film room. So

1:06:42

if a guy is helping out

1:06:44

another guy and he sees a rotation

1:06:46

and he rotates and he get a

1:06:48

good contest or a great contest, and

1:06:51

he's on his high horse from leaving in

1:06:53

the paint and running out to the corner

1:06:55

three to make a guy miss, that's

1:06:58

going to get the bench hyped because we just went

1:07:00

over this in the film room, right? It

1:07:02

may not mean much to,

1:07:04

you know, a person

1:07:06

who's looking for a highlight dunk or

1:07:08

a crossover step back, but it's everything

1:07:10

to the guys that's sitting on, that's

1:07:13

wearing the same jersey as

1:07:15

you because we was in that same

1:07:17

locker room with you watching film room and knowing

1:07:19

what the coach is preaching. Now,

1:07:22

if we see a guy that's

1:07:25

trying to get his, then

1:07:29

obviously, you know, the vibe is different.

1:07:32

Or we see, for example, if I'm a

1:07:34

big man and I'm supposed to be talking

1:07:36

to coverage on the high pick and roll

1:07:38

and letting my guard know that the screen

1:07:40

is coming and for my guard to force

1:07:42

it left or force it right, and

1:07:44

I don't do my job and my guard get hit

1:07:46

with a screen and now the ball handler comes off

1:07:49

and he have a clean 15 foot

1:07:51

pull up jump shot without anything

1:07:53

happening, then I'm not doing my

1:07:55

job. That means I'm not

1:07:57

engaged. That means I'm not focused. little

1:08:00

things that matter. So

1:08:02

the Thunder crowd is incredible. We

1:08:04

joke, they lead the league in

1:08:06

wearing the T-shirt, the free T-shirt.

1:08:08

I didn't realize, but before the

1:08:10

game, they have a T-shirt

1:08:12

cam that basically shames everyone who

1:08:15

doesn't put on the T-shirt. I like that.

1:08:17

They just go around and they're like, put

1:08:19

on the T-shirt. When you were playing there,

1:08:21

because you were on the Thunder at a

1:08:24

similar kind of point where it's like a

1:08:26

young team, a fun team going deep into

1:08:28

playoffs, what is it like

1:08:30

playing in Oklahoma City and especially for the

1:08:32

opponent? Is this,

1:08:34

I could curse up on you? Yeah, you could say

1:08:37

whatever the fuck you want. God damn it. It

1:08:40

was fucking unbelievable. When

1:08:42

I took, hey look, when you them

1:08:44

motherfuckers in OKC, that

1:08:47

city, that state embraces

1:08:49

you like no other, right?

1:08:52

You're in competition with nothing else

1:08:54

except for colleges, but as far

1:08:56

as on a professional level, shit,

1:08:59

it's just you. It's

1:09:01

just y'all. So man, just

1:09:03

when you're doing things and you're

1:09:06

winning, man, it's just a different

1:09:08

type of vibe. Do y'all remember

1:09:10

when that

1:09:13

franchise got to Oklahoma? They

1:09:16

used to have that meter because it used

1:09:18

to be so loud in there and it's

1:09:20

a real thing. I mean, literally feeding off

1:09:23

the energy of the crowd and

1:09:25

there's no disrespect to Boston because Boston

1:09:27

was great. I mean, they give you

1:09:29

chills in the history, but when

1:09:32

that city gets behind you and

1:09:34

you're playing winning basketball and they

1:09:36

start to believe, oh,

1:09:38

nothing like that. It does seem different

1:09:40

down there. Did you have an MVP

1:09:42

vote? Yeah,

1:09:44

I did have an MVP vote. Who did you

1:09:46

vote for MVP? I

1:09:48

voted for SGA. Yeah. You

1:09:50

think he should have won MVP? Yeah,

1:09:52

I voted for SGA because listen, hear me out.

1:09:55

Okay. Say last

1:09:58

year, first of all, Oklahoma. didn't

1:10:00

even make the playoffs. They would have number,

1:10:02

this year, the number one seed in the

1:10:04

Western Conference. Okay. Shay is third

1:10:07

in the league and scoring, averaging

1:10:09

30. He's first

1:10:11

in the league in steals. He's shooting

1:10:13

fucking 54% from

1:10:16

the field as a shooting guard.

1:10:19

Do you realize that they have big men

1:10:21

that doesn't shoot that percentage around

1:10:23

the rim? Okay. And then

1:10:26

the top of the log, when you

1:10:28

look at it, it's like, damn, what

1:10:30

else do we have to do? What

1:10:32

else do we have to do? He has the best

1:10:34

record in a tough

1:10:36

Western Conference, a tough

1:10:38

Western Conference where the ninth

1:10:40

and 10th seed was 10, 11 games above 500.

1:10:45

And so, you know, you think about

1:10:47

what he's doing with the second youngest team and

1:10:49

the NBA? I mean, how

1:10:51

does he not get the nod? Yeah.

1:10:53

So many guys with the deserving of

1:10:55

it. Okay. Well, there was Luca,

1:10:58

Jokic, even

1:11:01

Jalen Bronson, Anthony Edwards.

1:11:03

So many guys could have won the

1:11:05

war, but I just thought what the

1:11:07

SGA did and how he carried this

1:11:09

team and brought this team along, I

1:11:11

was like, he's for sure deserving of

1:11:13

the MVP. Yeah. He's had an incredible,

1:11:15

incredible season. So we're watching, I

1:11:17

think we can safely say this, this Celtics game is

1:11:19

over. There's a minute left. There's a minute

1:11:21

left. They've gotten absolutely smoked by the

1:11:23

Cavs. Our producer, Hank

1:11:26

here, sitting on the couch, he's a

1:11:28

diehard Celtics fan. He loves you. But

1:11:31

what do you say to him and to

1:11:33

the Celtics? Because this is, the Celtics are

1:11:35

still the best team in the East. One

1:11:37

game doesn't change it. But you can

1:11:40

also say at the same time, when

1:11:42

they look bad, it

1:11:44

looks so bad. Hey, first

1:11:46

of all, pick your body language. Okay. It's going

1:11:48

to be okay. Pick your body language over there.

1:11:50

Yeah. All right. There we go. There we go.

1:11:53

Go ahead and sit up. Look, I'm

1:11:55

happy that the Celtics lost. You

1:11:58

know why? Because they need this. to

1:12:00

be able to face adversity. They

1:12:02

need to be able to weather some storms, right?

1:12:04

The only thing that I hate about it is

1:12:06

that they worked so hard

1:12:08

all season long to

1:12:11

establish a place of dominance

1:12:13

in their home arena that

1:12:15

don't lose games at home,

1:12:18

right? That's supposed to be

1:12:20

a place where teams is like, you

1:12:22

know what, man, we coming up in

1:12:24

here and nowhere in hell we could

1:12:26

get a win. I just think about

1:12:28

their 2008 season. Us having

1:12:30

home court advantage actually was the key

1:12:33

reason why we, the number one reason

1:12:35

why we won the NBA championship. It

1:12:38

was the number one reason because we

1:12:40

knew once we got you back to the

1:12:42

garden, we would go spike that ass and

1:12:45

we did that. But the Celtics need this.

1:12:47

The Celtics need this because now you can

1:12:49

expect a different version of the Boston Celtics

1:12:51

come game three and it's going to get

1:12:54

them prepared for the long haul and that's

1:12:56

winning it off. Let's go, Hank. Come on,

1:12:58

Hank, spike that ass. Spank that ass. Spank

1:13:00

that ass. What good is it though? They

1:13:03

have weirdly struggled at home in the last

1:13:05

two years or three years, I think it

1:13:07

is. Like there are about 500 in the

1:13:09

playoffs at home. What is that? I don't know.

1:13:12

It almost feel like they don't have a

1:13:14

sense of urgency at times and they get

1:13:16

too relaxed. But that comes with

1:13:18

the best player on their team and

1:13:20

Jason Tatum. He got

1:13:22

to have that motor

1:13:26

of being consistent. I'm

1:13:29

going to apply pressure every single

1:13:31

time. Paul Pierce, a

1:13:33

lot of people used to give so much credit

1:13:35

to Kevin Garnett, KG, the

1:13:37

big ticket and rightfully so. But

1:13:40

Paul Pierce took it so personal

1:13:42

when somebody, a matchup came into

1:13:45

his house, whether it was LeBron,

1:13:47

Kobe, Joe Johnson, whoever it was,

1:13:49

he took it personal. It was

1:13:52

like not near. And that's

1:13:54

what Tatum got to start doing. You can't let

1:13:56

people walk in your house without taking their shoes

1:13:58

off and then kick their feet. up

1:14:00

on your coffee table and tell you

1:14:02

to get them something to drink? Mm-hmm. Come on,

1:14:04

Hank. Fair point, Hank. You're letting them just

1:14:06

walk all over your house. You're getting the Cavs a

1:14:08

bottle of wine. You're opening up a fresh bottle of

1:14:11

red for the Cavs. And Hank, and he gets so

1:14:13

down on himself. He doesn't stay, you know. Hey, this

1:14:15

is the seven game series, brother. Bro, in fact, you

1:14:17

did. I did see you say

1:14:19

after game one, it was like dominant performance from the

1:14:21

Celtics in six. Yeah,

1:14:24

surprisingly. You got the Cavs in six. Yeah. Yeah.

1:14:28

You're the best. You get paid to play, too. Yeah,

1:14:30

you're going to lose games in a playoff.

1:14:32

That's okay. Okay. Yeah, you'll be okay,

1:14:34

Hank. You see, Hank had expectations going in this series

1:14:37

that they were going to win by a cumulative score

1:14:39

of 100 points. Mm-hmm. Still in play. They were going

1:14:41

to win four games by 25 points. How much did

1:14:43

you lose by? Was it 25? Did

1:14:46

you lose by 25 points tonight? No, I think we lost by

1:14:48

24. Oh, all right.

1:14:50

So we're plus one. You're plus one. Plus

1:14:52

one. Three 30 pieces. You

1:14:55

got some making. Yeah, you're fine. You're

1:14:57

okay. You think that the Celtics

1:14:59

kind of missed Marcus Smart, kind of missed that

1:15:01

edge? I mean, that's

1:15:04

to be determined, right? Like they got to

1:15:06

complete the mission in order for me to

1:15:08

say that. But again, they

1:15:10

gave up Marcus Smart to get who? I

1:15:13

mean, it's a fair point. I think that-

1:15:15

Yeah. But what I'm

1:15:17

saying, they gave up Marcus

1:15:19

Smart to get Christoph Przyynckis. Am I

1:15:21

right? Yep. Okay.

1:15:25

The one concern that I have for the

1:15:27

Boston Celtics is

1:15:30

can Christoph Przyynckis be

1:15:32

healthy for four seven

1:15:34

game series? And

1:15:37

right now the ounces know. Yeah. They're

1:15:40

going to need them. They can't win at all

1:15:42

unless they have them and he got to be

1:15:44

healthy. Yeah. So speaking of health,

1:15:47

the Knicks who have been electric

1:15:49

these playoffs, your guy, Big Body Brunson,

1:15:51

that's what you've given him. Yeah.

1:15:55

That's a big nickname. But now they-

1:15:57

I feel like they got no one left. It's

1:15:59

crazy. Mitchell Robinson's out. OG

1:16:02

is out for game three, questionable

1:16:05

for Jalen Brunson. At what

1:16:07

point is it like they're just losing too many guys? I

1:16:09

know they're up 2-0, but it

1:16:12

feels like, especially with their bench, they're

1:16:14

just running out of bodies. I mean,

1:16:16

they are, and it's unfortunate. As far

1:16:18

as making a run, when you're

1:16:20

trying to make a real championship run, you

1:16:22

need a lot of luck, and that includes

1:16:24

being healthy, right? But last

1:16:27

night, Tom Thibodeau did a

1:16:29

post, well, an in-game interview,

1:16:31

and they asked him

1:16:33

about OG and Loewe. And before

1:16:35

he turned off with that snarl

1:16:38

and that fucking attitude he said,

1:16:40

next man up, that's been

1:16:42

their mentality all season long. You

1:16:45

got to realize, man, when

1:16:47

it comes to Dante, Big

1:16:50

Body Brunson, and

1:16:53

Josh Hart, those

1:16:55

guys were groomed right from Villanova.

1:16:58

They know how to play the game the right way. They

1:17:00

know how to compete at a high level. So

1:17:02

those three have a different type of

1:17:04

confidence that when they step on the

1:17:06

floor together, they feel like they

1:17:09

could compete and be anyone in the league,

1:17:11

and they have shown us that. And they

1:17:13

feel like they could make anybody around them

1:17:15

better, right? We're watching Isaiah Hardinstein.

1:17:17

He's going out there doing his thing,

1:17:20

almost at a triple double last

1:17:22

night. You're watching

1:17:24

McBride come in off the bench's

1:17:27

first and have big moments being

1:17:29

aggressive. And when you have

1:17:31

that type of leadership, you're capable

1:17:33

of winning any type of game. Yeah.

1:17:36

In terms of Rick Carlisle and

1:17:38

his comments after, do you think

1:17:40

those were baby comments? Because

1:17:42

I feel like that was a little too

1:17:44

much crying. I understand trying to work the

1:17:46

rest. Thank you. I understand. Yeah,

1:17:49

but that was too much. Like, don't give

1:17:51

up 130 to a

1:17:53

Knicks team that has four guys. Now

1:17:55

you're preaching. Now you're preaching. Again, look,

1:17:58

you're mad at the Reels. right for

1:18:00

reversing a call that it wasn't

1:18:03

a double dribble, but

1:18:05

you're not mad at yourself, right?

1:18:08

You're not mad at yourself. Look, my brown

1:18:10

mother, a little bit of death. She got

1:18:12

all-timers, right? And, you know, it's part of

1:18:15

life. But she would remember

1:18:17

to put TJ McCarlin back in

1:18:19

the game. Damn, Rick Carlisle,

1:18:21

you didn't forget, not one time, you

1:18:23

forgot twice. You didn't put him back

1:18:25

in the fourth quarter for game one,

1:18:27

and you didn't put him back in

1:18:29

the fourth quarter for game two. He

1:18:31

has been probably the

1:18:34

best player to guard Jay LaBronson. And

1:18:36

Jay LaBronson has been having it his

1:18:38

way in the fourth quarter. You didn't

1:18:40

even think about putting him back in.

1:18:43

And on top of that, listen,

1:18:46

I understand the Knicks,

1:18:49

their mindset, the way that they

1:18:51

attack the offensive glass, but

1:18:54

you're not going to say nothing about the

1:18:57

offensive rebounds, especially late in the fourth quarter.

1:18:59

Like, it's things that he needs to

1:19:01

be worried about and addressing for us

1:19:03

with his team that will be crying

1:19:05

about the officials. And then the last

1:19:08

thing, the small market BS.

1:19:11

Dallas and Oklahoma City playing against each

1:19:13

other, right? Minnesota

1:19:16

playing, huh? So what

1:19:18

is he talking about? Small market teams want

1:19:20

to fathom it to his will. You got

1:19:22

your change. Yeah. You up, double

1:19:24

figures. It's loser talk. It's like

1:19:26

I'm a loser, Big Cat, our teams

1:19:28

stink. We're very familiar with loser talk.

1:19:31

Anytime you send your video staff to make a

1:19:33

compilation of 78 missed calls and

1:19:36

then send them to the NBA, like it's going

1:19:38

to do anything. Like that envelope is

1:19:40

probably not even going to get opened, but you had your

1:19:42

video staff sit down for hours and

1:19:46

make a compilation of missed calls. That

1:19:48

to me seems like you're fighting

1:19:50

a losing battle and you're spending a lot

1:19:52

too much energy fighting that loser. Yes, yeah.

1:19:55

We're going to get back to Perk in a second. He's brought

1:19:57

to you by part of my cheesesteak. I love part of my

1:19:59

cheesesteak. That's delicious. We ate a bunch

1:20:01

of them the other week. I'm going to get some this weekend

1:20:03

actually. Saturday is a cheesesteak day. Yes. A

1:20:05

lot of good sports on TV. I'm going to treat myself to a part

1:20:07

of my cheesesteak. It's a pickup and delivery

1:20:09

only restaurant bringing you craveable cheesesteaks, tenders, loaded fries,

1:20:11

and desserts for lunch, dinner, and late night. Hank,

1:20:13

I know you've been working out a lot. Max,

1:20:15

I know you've been working out a lot. Big

1:20:18

Cat, have you been working out? I have. So

1:20:20

it's workout. That

1:20:22

sounds legit. Big Cat, you've been working out a

1:20:25

lot, right? I have. Yes. But

1:20:28

part of my cheesesteak has twice the protein of

1:20:30

other cheesesteaks. I'm just going to say they've got

1:20:32

better protein. I don't know if it's twice. Their

1:20:34

protein's better. They've got the best protein in the

1:20:36

world. If you're going to be working out, eat

1:20:38

a part of my cheesesteak, get those gains in.

1:20:41

That's a PFT guarantee. Facts. I'm

1:20:44

going to be eating part of my cheesesteak to get swole.

1:20:46

It might just be me though. You can order the Big

1:20:48

Cat combo, get your cheesesteak, a choice, fries, and a drink,

1:20:50

or get the Max Special. That's

1:20:52

two sodas in participating locations. They've

1:20:55

got Buffalo Chicken, Chipotle Chicken, Chipotle,

1:20:57

regular cheesesteaks, and Chicken Bacon Ranch

1:20:59

cheesesteaks. Over 1,500 locations

1:21:02

nationwide. Find a part

1:21:04

of my cheesesteak near you and order yours

1:21:06

on Uber Eats. And now here's more perk.

1:21:09

Do you have any animosity towards Rick Carlisle

1:21:12

for the two free throws you made you

1:21:14

take like 15 years ago? And how much did that

1:21:16

suck? Exactly. So for people who don't know,

1:21:18

Paul Pierce got kicked out of a game, but he

1:21:20

had two free throws. Yeah. And

1:21:23

the racing team gets to pick whoever they want on

1:21:25

the other bench and they picked you and

1:21:28

you missed them both. When

1:21:30

you had to come in cold off the bench, we

1:21:32

were like, fuck, this is going to suck. As

1:21:36

a youngster, and I'm standing at the

1:21:38

free throw line on the road by

1:21:40

myself. And with

1:21:42

that situation, I at least

1:21:45

wanted to see the first one go in. They would

1:21:47

have gave me hope to make the next one. And

1:21:49

I wasn't mad at Rick Carlisle's about that. You know what

1:21:52

I mean? I thought it was pretty

1:21:54

fucked up. He picked on me, but it is what it

1:21:56

is. But it's no be. It's no

1:21:58

be. I would have be. Carlisle,

1:22:00

I actually showed him a lot of

1:22:02

love over the

1:22:04

season for being able to make

1:22:07

that transition because remember a lot

1:22:09

of his players from Dallas didn't have a

1:22:11

lot of positive things to say about him,

1:22:14

right? They didn't have a lot of positive

1:22:16

things to say about him. So when he

1:22:18

got to Indiana, he started to

1:22:20

adjust his coaching style, letting those guys

1:22:22

play. So, you know, it's all love.

1:22:25

I just wish he stopped that damn crime. Yeah, I

1:22:27

would hold a grudge if I were you. I'd be

1:22:29

like that was it was embarrassing. You made me stand

1:22:31

out there all by myself and shoot free throws. That's

1:22:33

like, that's most people's worst nightmare.

1:22:35

Yeah, picking you off the bench. That's

1:22:37

fucked up. You brought the finals that

1:22:39

you played in. What about the other

1:22:41

finals when you unfortunately injured your knee?

1:22:44

Do you think you guys win that

1:22:46

series if you don't get hurt? Absolutely.

1:22:48

Look, I'm starting five never lost the

1:22:50

playoff series when everyone was hit. That's

1:22:53

a fact. That's a fact, you

1:22:56

know, and I mean, you know, at the end

1:22:58

of the day, we still should have won that

1:23:00

game. We was up 14 points going

1:23:03

into the fourth quarter and

1:23:05

a couple of breakdowns. Guys

1:23:08

were fatigued and all of a sudden,

1:23:10

you know, Ronald test goes

1:23:12

for 20 and 10. The on-song hero,

1:23:14

I believe Kobe Bryant walk out the

1:23:16

game with like 15,

1:23:19

16 rebounds because whoever dominated the

1:23:22

glass in that particular

1:23:24

game and that whoever

1:23:27

dominated the glass in those

1:23:30

games won the basketball game.

1:23:32

That's who won the series. Yeah. Yeah. They

1:23:34

missed you. Yeah. All right. So I want

1:23:36

to get some of your spicy takes that

1:23:38

you got going right now. You think LeBron

1:23:40

James should retire? See, you

1:23:42

know what? Let's have an

1:23:45

intelligent conversation. Let's do it. I agree with your

1:23:47

take, by the way. Okay.

1:23:49

So I was following up

1:23:52

on my big brother,

1:23:54

Michael Wilbourn. Okay. We

1:23:57

know that Wilbourn believes that Michael

1:23:59

Jordan is the GOAT, right? And

1:24:02

Willboy went on a rant

1:24:05

talking about the

1:24:08

firing of Doug and Ham and

1:24:10

how LeBron and AD lack accountability.

1:24:13

So I went on first take with Stephen

1:24:15

A and the topic was brought up

1:24:17

about the topic was

1:24:19

LeBron James, 10 head

1:24:22

coaches in 21

1:24:24

years, right? Does that like

1:24:26

you know basically does it say something

1:24:28

about LeBron James having 10 coaches and

1:24:31

I'm like it

1:24:33

does and I'm like I

1:24:35

wish she would retire because at this

1:24:37

point I'm looking at it what else

1:24:39

is it for LeBron to accomplish? He

1:24:41

have nothing else to accomplish because

1:24:44

even if he wins another championship

1:24:47

he still don't have six so the

1:24:49

MJ people out there

1:24:51

in the world still gonna say MJ got six.

1:24:54

Okay so you're

1:24:56

playing and every single season that you're

1:24:58

playing and that you don't

1:25:00

win the championship because the expectations when

1:25:04

you're in the lake of uniform especially if

1:25:06

you're LeBron playing at an elite level is

1:25:08

going to be what? Championships. I don't give

1:25:10

a damn if he's in the wheelchair. It's

1:25:13

going to be championships and

1:25:15

so every single season that you

1:25:17

don't win then you give more

1:25:19

animosity or more you

1:25:21

know arguments to come at

1:25:23

you about the GOAT debate and

1:25:26

I wasn't attacking LeBron legacy or

1:25:28

saying like his legacy we know

1:25:30

he's the all-time leading scorer in

1:25:32

NBA history we know he hit

1:25:34

40,000 points but when it comes

1:25:36

down to his legacy his legacy

1:25:38

now is measured on the GOAT

1:25:40

conversation. I like that. The firing

1:25:42

of Darb

1:25:44

and Ham does not look good on him. I

1:25:47

like that take though because it's saying that if LeBron

1:25:49

James continues to play basketball even at a high level

1:25:52

he's just proving all the people out there that

1:25:54

are haters yeah you're right

1:25:56

he's not MJ. Thank you. Buy

1:26:00

something. So we have situations in. Yeah,

1:26:03

but listen, even if

1:26:05

I couldn't find, and I wanted to

1:26:07

so bad, I couldn't defend them. I

1:26:09

couldn't go in my brother Willborn or

1:26:11

Stephen A. About that

1:26:14

particular matter. They were right. I

1:26:16

had to agree with them. I couldn't lie. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

1:26:18

What about when you're talking to Mad Dog? When you

1:26:20

have a segment with him, do you have to go

1:26:22

back to a basketball almanac, back to 1963, and

1:26:26

get some stats ready for him? I've

1:26:30

only been on twice with Mad Dog, and

1:26:33

I will give him an opportunity to go

1:26:35

back there for. But I must say, what

1:26:38

are you mad about? Those rants

1:26:40

are legendary. Even when I'm not

1:26:42

on, I want to listen to

1:26:44

this shit. Yeah, he's very talented.

1:26:47

No, he's incredible. I

1:26:50

think we agree, because you're obviously

1:26:52

an NBA guy, but we're four

1:26:54

football guys, and we thought the

1:26:56

hypothetical about the NBA NFL thing

1:26:58

was stupid, and there's

1:27:00

no NFL players that, if you said they

1:27:02

had to do it in the next month, there's

1:27:04

no NFL players that could go and play in the

1:27:07

NBA in the next month. I

1:27:10

think maybe no one will just agree on this hypothetical.

1:27:12

That's just why it exists and why we do it

1:27:14

every couple of years. But do

1:27:16

you think there's some NBA guys who could play in the NFL?

1:27:18

I think it's very small. I don't think it's 30. I

1:27:21

think Austin Rivers is a little too much with that, but

1:27:24

I also think there's zero NFL guys who could play

1:27:26

in the NBA next month. How

1:27:28

did we get here? It's a July argument. We

1:27:30

should have done it in July. Right,

1:27:33

right. But you know what, look,

1:27:35

I have a list. I have five players. I

1:27:37

think I got six. I did

1:27:40

a big list today of five players.

1:27:42

I said Marcus Smart, Anthony

1:27:44

Edwards, Russell Westbrook,

1:27:48

Jayla Suggs, and LeBron

1:27:50

James. Those

1:27:52

five guys, I believe, could stop

1:27:55

playing basketball right now and go

1:27:58

find a spot on the football field. They

1:28:00

have the mentality they still got

1:28:02

that athleticism, you know, they

1:28:04

got the size They can go find the spot

1:28:07

and I forgot one key person Luke Dorts Yeah,

1:28:09

thought people find a spot is where that's

1:28:12

it. I couldn't really like after that. I

1:28:14

was like, ah, nah, he's too soft Yeah,

1:28:17

he can't get it Yeah, like no

1:28:19

But I was just like, you know and also

1:28:21

actually was supposed to be in the day But

1:28:23

he called in sick talking about his stomach was

1:28:25

hurting and or whatever the case may be

1:28:27

So they like part we need you to do the big

1:28:29

bliss. I'm like, it's not even my fight

1:28:35

So what do people get for for again, this

1:28:37

is never no one's ever gonna agree on this

1:28:39

everyone's got their sides But what

1:28:41

would you say that people get wrong the most about? Current

1:28:45

NBA and like the level of skill

1:28:47

and player that that's in the NBA

1:28:49

right now That like if

1:28:51

you would understand this you'd understand that it's

1:28:53

impossible for someone from the NFL to just

1:28:55

show up and be an NBA player well,

1:28:58

I think it's more so like The

1:29:01

coordination part of it being able to

1:29:03

to do a bill behind the back

1:29:05

between the legs step back on a

1:29:08

consistent basis And the

1:29:10

efficient level right like I

1:29:12

think you know, they take that for

1:29:15

granted And it's it's the IQ

1:29:17

of the game right being able to

1:29:19

do it in that moment Right

1:29:21

being able to have a guy

1:29:23

on your hip and you know

1:29:26

Come around us pick and roll keep them

1:29:28

on your hip and split the split the

1:29:30

defender with a with a crossover in between

1:29:32

And left hand scoop like like

1:29:35

the coordination just on the on a different

1:29:37

level But I don't I don't want

1:29:39

I look I don't want no smoke with any

1:29:41

of the football guys Okay, big swag goo And

1:29:45

and JJ wide and you know miles

1:29:47

Garrett look man. We all cool big

1:29:49

percoupe and I respect Everything that y'all

1:29:51

are out there doing on the football

1:29:53

field. I want no smoke Yeah, I

1:29:56

feel like you could have played though.

1:29:58

You would have been the answer to that question back in like

1:30:00

2008. Yeah, I'm telling

1:30:03

you tight end and D.N. I was

1:30:05

a problem. Texas football,

1:30:07

baby. Yeah, Friday night

1:30:10

lights. I also think

1:30:12

it's uh and I understand it NFL players

1:30:14

get they're upset because they

1:30:16

think like their toughness is being questioned. No

1:30:18

one, no one ever questions toughness

1:30:21

event. Being in the NFL is an insane

1:30:23

thing to be able to do and that's

1:30:25

why I thought like maybe a couple guys

1:30:27

like there are a lot of guys in

1:30:29

the NBA that if they got hit they

1:30:32

would be like no Moss instantly. Yeah,

1:30:35

for sure. Yeah, so I mean they they

1:30:37

know my instantly right now in the NBA.

1:30:39

They're lonely in the field. Yeah, they would

1:30:41

not like Anthony Davis who would not like

1:30:44

going to training camp again hitting training camp

1:30:46

for sure. Yeah, it's a

1:30:48

guarantee you had so you had Suggs

1:30:50

number one right? Jalen Suggs. Is that

1:30:52

because his he's got cousins right? Terrell

1:30:54

Suggs is his cousin. No, you better

1:30:57

check Jalen Suggs. Yeah, he was Mr.

1:30:59

Football in Minnesota. Was he really? Yeah,

1:31:01

1500 passing yards.

1:31:04

I believe he's good. 600 rushing yards

1:31:07

through for 12 touchdowns ran by eight.

1:31:09

Yeah, he was really good. He was

1:31:11

recruited by Ohio State and the brass.

1:31:13

Okay. No, he was really good and

1:31:15

Terrell Suggs is second cousin too. There

1:31:17

we go. Yeah. Okay, good

1:31:20

list. I put no Giannis on the

1:31:22

list. Yeah,

1:31:24

I don't know. I like

1:31:27

once you start getting to that level of

1:31:29

being like six, eight and above, I got

1:31:31

to see footage on. Yeah, I

1:31:33

saw LeBron James play football in high

1:31:35

school. I saw what he did in

1:31:38

Ohio. Like I ain't seen Giannis play

1:31:40

football. I don't know. I

1:31:42

don't know if he could play receiving catch.

1:31:44

I don't know. Yeah, somebody else tweeted me

1:31:46

a really good idea. I thought for that

1:31:48

debate, which was Wim B under

1:31:50

center on the goal line, just

1:31:52

snap it to me, stick his arms on as a touchdown.

1:31:54

It's like the Drew Brees, except you don't have to jump.

1:31:57

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The

1:32:00

who do you have a hoodie of in the finals and who's

1:32:02

your chip in this poses? Saga. The Celtics

1:32:04

1:35:00

Bronson six foot not

1:35:03

athletic Leading the playoffs and

1:35:05

scoring you got to be some type

1:35:07

of damn dog. Damn it. He's dead.

1:35:09

Mm-hmm And number

1:35:11

three, I gotta go

1:35:13

with Josh. What? Oh, okay. So the next

1:35:15

thing we can do a way why yeah

1:35:19

Josh what then played with four consecutive

1:35:22

games without getting a minute

1:35:24

risk. Yeah and

1:35:27

Still when he leave the game, he's still

1:35:30

got more in the tank. It's

1:35:32

crazy He's he's the best rebound

1:35:34

in guard in the playoffs Imagine

1:35:38

averaging over 11 rebounds at

1:35:40

6-5 in today's game.

1:35:43

You gotta have some I'm For

1:35:53

God that 6-5 to average that many

1:35:55

rebounds is it more about his dog

1:35:57

or is he also like a sneaky

1:35:59

smile? Is he an intelligent dog? No,

1:36:02

no, because he going to get that

1:36:04

in traffic. It's

1:36:07

a difference if, you know, Obigs

1:36:09

boxing out. No, when you're going

1:36:11

to get offensive rebounds and snatching

1:36:13

them in traffic, when you shoot

1:36:15

a free throw, when you

1:36:17

shoot a free throw and you miss your own

1:36:19

free throw and you go get an offensive rebound

1:36:21

and put it back, that's

1:36:24

having a dog mentality. There's

1:36:26

nothing else past it. Yeah, dog that plays the

1:36:28

traffic. So the Knicks lead the league

1:36:30

in dogs. I like that, yeah. Yeah, they got

1:36:32

two dogs. So, I mean, think about it. My

1:36:34

top three dogs, this is pretty damn good. You

1:36:37

got Anthony Edwards, who's undefeated in

1:36:39

the postseason right now, right,

1:36:42

who just knocked off Kevin Durant,

1:36:44

told him about it, okay. He told him

1:36:46

about it. Oh, yeah, you're my

1:36:48

goat. And then knocked him

1:36:50

off. Before the series, he said,

1:36:52

oh, everybody, you know, think that Bradley Beal and

1:36:55

Devon Booker are the best two guard in the

1:36:57

league, but I feel like I am. And when

1:36:59

I did bust their ass, that's having a dog

1:37:01

mentality. And now

1:37:03

he's telling the world, oh, yo, we

1:37:05

got to be on IP's and Q's. He's the best

1:37:08

player in the world. And then

1:37:10

he goes out when he's doing what he's

1:37:12

doing right now to the Denver Nuggets. Yeah,

1:37:15

it's all facts, dogs. And Jimmy Butler's

1:37:17

like, he's a dog. Deb, he's definitely a dog, but

1:37:19

he's the dog that's like behind the fence and doesn't

1:37:21

actually have to get into the fight. And he

1:37:23

just does the barking. Yeah, but

1:37:25

he's in the dog house. He has a crew. Yeah,

1:37:28

dogs. He

1:37:30

barking from the house. You got

1:37:32

some of those dogs, you go to your petting house,

1:37:35

or when you was young, your friend house,

1:37:37

your neighbor house, they have a dog barking,

1:37:39

but he never come out the house. Yeah,

1:37:41

his dog's out. Yeah, that's Jimmy right now.

1:37:43

So you're walking by in the street and

1:37:45

you're getting barked at. Yeah, beware of dog.

1:37:48

Yeah, all right, well, Perk, thank

1:37:50
