Nightcap - Hour 2: Magic beat the Celtics, Bucks beat the Pacers, and Dillion Brooks calls Draymond a dirty player!

We were getting where we couldn't pay the bill.

PG&E asked customers about their biggest concerns so we could address them one by one.

That's terrifying.

That's fair.

Joe, Regional Vice President, PG&E.

We have to run the business in a way that keeps people safe, but it starts driving costs down.

I would love to see that.

We're on our way.

I hope so.

PG&E electricity rates are now lower than they were last year.

The Magic beat the Celtics 95-93. Franz Wagner was dominant.
32 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and he did it. He's guarding JB and JT.
As they pull, it's now 2-1 with another game in Orlando. Jason Tatum was 10 of 22, 36 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists.
Derek White, 16 points. Jalen Brown, 19 points.
But those big guns, Paulo Banqueiro, 29 points. Franz Wagner gave you his stats 32, 7, and 8.
Wendell Carter Jr. had 10 points, 10 rebounds, as they hold on and win.

Joe, what'd you like about what you saw from Orlando?

Like I said, Wagner and Bancaro?

They can match Tatum and Brown.

They can match Tatum and Brown.

And when Tatum and Brown ain't got

Poizinhos or Pritchard going off,

you know, it's tough.

You know, Peyton Pritchard,

he won six man of the year, and he didn't give them nothing today. You know, 25 and his three points.
You know, Jason Tatum had 36 and nine, but man, they need probably a little more from JB and Pritchard or White. You know, they look forward to him getting hot, but what's up with Drew Holiday? What'd he hurt? I'm not sure.
They were 9-27 from the three. And that's the thing with the Celtics.
It's hard for them to win if they don't shoot you out of the gym from the three. Because a lot of their game is predicated on taking a bunch of threes and making a bunch of them.
So we'll take 50. We'll take 55-63.
If we can make 22-23 of them, we like our chances. There are not very many teams that can consistently match the Celtics from the three-point line.
They took the most, they made the most threes in NBA history, and their record is a... speaks for itself.
And I think that's what makes them tough, because you're right. They got JB, they got JT, they also have a Prozingas that can give you mid-20s, maybe even 30.
You see, Derek White can go off. He can make 7, 8, 9, 10 threes.
Peyton Pritchard. We see Peyton Pritchard scoring 40 points in a ballgame.
So they got guys that can go fuego and get hot and shoot you out of the building. It's going to be very interesting to see what the matchup is.
Jalen Brown says the refs are letting the Magic play too physical. There might be a fight breakout or something because it's starting to feel like it's not even basketball and the refs are not controlling their environment.
So it is what it is. If you want to fight out there, we can do that.
We can fight to see what goes in the second round. Do you like what JB having to say, Joe? I do.
I do. I like what he got to say.
I mean, they competing at a high level, man. Like I say, this is physical basketball at this point.
The only thing that's going to change in any of these games is the physicality. It's like guys being physical, not letting you cut to the rim, Ocho.
You know, everything you do, you know, we're going to touch you. It's going to be physical.
We're not going to let you do nothing easy. We're going to create havoc and cause discomfort.
And that's what Orlando was doing. Look, I like to see Ben Carroll and Wagner shooting 25 and 27 field goals.
Even though he made 10, 11, but that lets me know they being aggressive going to the rim and they gonna cause pressure. You know what I mean? Well, guys gotta help.
Now they can get guys easy shots. Boston got their work cut out, man.
Boston got their series done. Yeah.
I think the thing plus, Joe, is that I like because they should take half the damn shots. They're the two best players.
Why somebody else tried to pitch in and say, hey, man, y'all take 25, y'all took 27. Let me get 18.
Hell nah. Under 10.
Yeah, but you see that. But you see that from time to time.
Like, now we're in the playoffs. Every possession is valued.
And these guys are taking the initiative to come down, initiate the offense, getting, you know, whether it's running ISO post-ups or just, you know, getting

into the paint, you know, just causing havoc.

It's going to make them a better team, man.

They're making Boston guard.

Like I say, Boston already complaining that the series has been too physical.

You look, JT went down with a wrist injury in game one, then playing game two.

Now, I've seen JB go down with a little injury today, too.

So this is how it's going to be for the rest of the series. They understand being physical is in their favor, meaning, you know, for Lando.
And plus, and plus, and plus, and plus, and plus, JB was in foul trouble a little bit tonight, too. I think that didn't help their situation.
But when you're dealing with Van Caro, who's a big-body guy, he likes to play physical. He's a bumper car type of guy.
He's going to bang you and bang you and bang you and get to that right shoulder and turn around on you. Franz Wagner is a skill to skill.
He can play. Now, the problem that they had this year, I think they'd have had a better record.
Van Carol got hurt. Wagner got hurt.
And sometimes

those injuries overlap.

But you go back and look at them when they play

together. Oh, they for real.

Those young guns for real.

I love Van Carroll. He can

really play. You know,

Wagner, his brother is hurt.

He was playing early in the year.

They down a major

piece, but man, are they scrappy, bro. Look, I seen little Anthony Black pick Peyton Pritchard on a full court, pick his pocket.
You know what I mean? Like, none cost for Ojo. As soon as the ball come in, 94 feet.
I'm right at your neck. I'm pressure you.
Yeah. Hey, this is the playoffs, man.
This is what it's about. So, look, Orlando is competing at a high level.
They're going to protect their home,

and they're going to make it tough for Boston, man.

Is there going to be no easy series?

Hold on, hold on.

You say it's not going to be an easy series

if they continue to be scrappy,

if they continue to play physical.

Do you even give the Magic a chance to beat

or even win this series,

or are you just saying he's just going to make it close and interesting?

No, I think they're going to make it close and interesting.

I can't see them beating, yeah, in seven interesting. No, I think they're going to make it close and interesting.
I can't see him beating in seven games. But I can see Boston winning 4-2.
Yeah, I can see that. Oh, so you're just giving the Magic two games, even with the way they're playing? Yeah, but I think Boston is the better team.
Yeah. And normally the better team, it will play out over a series.
That you get when you talk about when you play series you gotta beat somebody four times it's not like football is one and done and sometimes the one the best team doesn't always win but the team that plays the best that day so yeah for me I think I can see be very interested how this thing shape up now Orlando Orlando get that game, and now they go back to Boston 2-2. Put the pressure on Boston.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Put the pressure.
That didn't make it interesting. The Bucs, first time in Milwaukee Bucs history, they had two players score 35 points or more.
They got 37, a career high playoff from,

uh,

Greg,

Gary Trent Jr.

Knocked down nine,

three pointers,

matching Ray Allen's Bucks record of nine.

Giannis was Giannis.

He gave you 37.

He was 37,

12 and six.

Uh,

uh,

Gary Trent Jr.

Was 37.

And with three rebounds,

no assist.

You're like,

bro, I'm just going to shoot it. I ain't helping nobody else.
Get your own basket. Hey, listen.
Go ahead, Joe. Go ahead.
No, go ahead. They needed their 37 for Gary Trent.
You know, see, my problem with Milwaukee is you know, Dame coming off this calf injury, man, he not going to be able to play at no high level for no, you know, I think by having him out there, it's just a D court, but you know, he can get high, he can make some shots, but I think with that calf injury, it's limiting him to, you know, how he's ultimately going to be able to perform or help, you know, Milwaukee move on in this series, so Gary Trent, he won this game for him tonight, man, he was, he was on fire, he was, he was, and plus, if you look at Indy, when they don't have all their starters, normally their starters, somewhere between 12 and 25, 26 points. Yeah.
And then they have a guy or two off the bench in double figures. Look, they got Pascal Siakam has been playing well.
Aaron Neesmith had 18. Miles Turner only gave a six.
He normally gives you you somewhere between 14 and 20. Nembhard only gave you 6.
He normally in double figures. Obi Toppin, he gave you 10.
He didn't play bad. He didn't shoot well from the 3.
So Mathurin, he only gave you 9. And so that you're going to open yourself up if you guys don't play like you normally play and you'll get a situation where you get Giannis they don't have anybody that can do anything with Giannis but you can't let Gary Trent Jr.
go get 37 because now you allow Giannis to bring somebody along with him Giannis had seven assists remember the other the other time he had like one or two assists yeah you see, when he gets to 36-12 and he dishes out seven or more assists,

you're going to have your hand full because

they can beat you now.

Yeah. I need

Halliburton to be a little more aggressive for Indiana

though. 11 field goal

attempts. You know Dane from Little Hobble.

You got to make him work on both ends

of the floor. Outside

of that, Miles Turner I mean, one for nine, that hurt him. Yeah, for sure.
That hurt him. But, yeah, Yannis going to need somebody to step up, you know, pretty much every game.
You know Yannis going to give you 35, 40 points a night. Yep.
Yeah, Trent Jr. going to be able to hold this up, or if they ain't going to give us one of them, you know, Virtuoso's performances.
But, hey, hey, hey, he gonna need some help, but I like the bench though, I like you know, Bobby coming off with that, you know he's pretty much fine tuned now because he's been absent for a while, he just got back with the team, so I feel like the Bucs can make this a series for sure. Yeah, I agree.
Don't tell us a lot.

They better get

game four because if they don't get game four,

they're not going to go to India and win.

Yeah, I got them

getting game four.

I got them getting game four.

Because Milwaukee didn't get anything from

Brook Lopez. As you mentioned,

Dane was 2 of 12, 1 of 8 from 3.

He gave you 7 points.

He only played 3 minutes. He gave you 10 points.
Jericho Sims played 4 points. Kevin Porter Jr., 0 of 5, he gave you 1 point.
Green gave you 12. But it was the big gun.
It was Giannis at the top and Trent Jr. at the bottom.
And really not much. The same was in between, they were able to build a belief.
Because when I started watching the game, Indy was up by 10. Yeah.
I turned back and they were down by 10. I'm like, well, what the hell happened? Y'all talking about this game.
I was on the airplane. Hey, you missed a good game, Ocho.
It was a good game. It was a good game.
I don't know. Milwaukee needed this, bro.
They needed some confidence because Indiana can be normal. You know what I mean? They need confidence going in the game four now and try to really make this a series going back to Indiana tied up.
You know, like I say, hopefully Dame gets better, you know, day by day. And he's able to probably get them a little more offensively because, man, Yana's going to definitely need them for sure.

Then I discovered better woman. I was skeptical at first, but two months in, everything changed.

Dylan Brooks called Draymond Green a dirty player and defended his teammate, I'm in Thompson, who upended Jimmy Butler in Game 2, forcing him to leave the game due to injury. No, I think dirty player is Draymond.
Giving him a little push, as the regular basketball players do, and Jimmy's fighting in the air for a rebound and stuff happens. Amen and he has nothing to do and it has nothing to do

with being a dirty player.

Jimmy's questionable for game two.

Joe, I know you saw the play.

It seemed like Jimmy's going up for a ball.

He got both hands on the ball.

Somehow, A-Man Thompson

loses his balance,

submarines him

and with nothing to bring,

bop.

Boy, I know that.

That's that good bone bruise. Man, they're going to take a minute for him to recover from that.
Look, I don't think it was a dirty play. I think a man, Thompson, was just playing hard, competing.
He was trying to get in there and just cause and make a play and end up getting pushed, you know, kind of into, like, Jimmy Butler, which kind of took him out.

It's like, dang, it's like the littlest thing that can happen in the playoffs, man,

the swing of series, you know what I mean?

Right.

The Warriors without Jimmy, man, it's going to be tough, man. It's going to be tough, you know, against that Rockets team.

Hey, look, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a fight or a wrestling match

throughout this series, right?

I'm looking forward to it, actually.

There's a lot of borderline stuff going on out there in the first couple games, Uncle Ocho. Yeah.
Hey, that guy, that goddamn Draymond, that Draymond's funny, boy. He's funny, man.
Hey, he's scrappy. He's scrappy with it, too.
He don't even care. He don't care who you are.
Oh, no. He finna get it in every time.
Yeah. I like that.
Look, that's the thing about it, Joe, you keep saying, is that it's the finality of it. Because there is no more tomorrow.
It's not, okay, we lost Orlando, we down to Miami, then we gonna hit Atlanta. Right.
And you know what I'm saying, we gonna go to Charlotte. Ain't none of that.
Nah. You lose these four games and...
It's over. It's over.
You see, your season's over and, you know, you go into Cancun or whatever you do before you start back getting ready for the grind of guys not playing some league before you start the preseason games before you get back into the regular season come October. So guys are going to play hard.
Guys are going to play extremely hard, and I don't really have no problem with that.

Nah, me neither. I enjoy it, actually.

But that is why it's been a lot

of injuries, pretty much, you know, throughout this postseason.

Guys are competing at a high level,

bro. You look at the, you know,

maybe we'll get to it, the Memphis game. What happened

to Ja, but go ahead. Yeah.

Jimmy is questionable for Game 3.

Ja Morant will miss Game 4 against

the Thunder. Ja injured his hip

after taking a hard fall doing Game 3.

Down 3-0 in the series, Grizzlies face elimination without their best playmaker, their best player, and the 2024-25 season could be over. Late in the second quarter on Thursday, Memphis was up by 27 when Scottie Pippen Jr.
dropped off a pass to Morant on the fast break. Lou Dort was chasing Pippen, slipped as he turned over and crashed into airborne Morant.
A lot of people said it was dirty, and a lot of people said Dort slipped. Joe, you saw this play.
Accident, slippage, dirty. I think he slipped, man.
He was anticipating on going up for the block on Pippen, but he caught himself because he caught the drop back to Jai, and he just slipped, man. He slipped, and Jai went up obviously and came down with a crash landing.
It's very unfortunate because I had Memphis winning that game. They had total control of the game.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They were up at that point by 27.
Hey, and the one thing that's very glaring to me, you know, when I look at game one, Memphis was so, it was like they was flat. You know, they ain't really had any guy blew out by 57 points.
Okay, cool. Game two, John come back.
You see how aggressive he is? I need him shooting at least 25 shots. I don't care if he don't make but six or seven or eight of them.
But the fact that he's that aggressive put pressure on him. It puts pressure on him to where you can open up and give Baines easy threes or easy, you know, kick out for threes or Jaren or big fella JJ, him and Edie, you know, the way you can throw lives to those guys.
They cannot stay in front of John. He has to know that, man.
He has to know that, you know, he got to go into that AI mode to where he's just ultra aggressive, relentless in getting to the cuffs, putting the pressure on the referees to call for him to make plays because he's that talented, man, and they'll be a better team the more aggressive he is. This is going to be a game.
They was going to win this game. Scottie Pippa Jr.
gave him that kick that he needed. You can tell he was starting to find his rhythm and man, just an unfortunate incident throughout the game.
What'd you think, Ocho? Dirty play? Nah. He was falling.
It wasn't dirty. Especially something like that.
I mean, I think all NBA players have respect for each other and I know it's's a playoff. I know everybody's playing physical.
But you can see it if you watch it again, especially if you watch it in slow motion. You can see it was an accident.
And it's unfortunate. I would have liked, you know what they do? You know what I don't like that NBA players do? It's similar when a pitcher hits a batter with the ball.
You see how he shows no emotion, no no nothing he just turns he's just very

nonchalant I wish he

was a little bit more you know what I'm

sorry at least help him up

he just turned away and just

walked away like with nothing

we're not helping you up we're not

doing none of that

that's what I mean so

when he reacts like

that it makes it look as if

okay I did it on purpose and what

right listen hurt you. You know what I mean? Nah, nah, nah.
But yeah, we're going to make, yeah, you're going, yeah. Yeah, it's good.
You can't come to hell just oleing. Yeah.
Yeah. When you don't show no kind of remorse Especially like that understanding you're undercutting by accident You didn't mean to do it But like, no nothing? No eye contact? No, just Nah, come on now Hey, Ojo, I tell you a story We was in the locker room and one of the coaches spilled a drink in one of the guys' locker.

And he came in,

man, what the hell spilled a drink in my locker, man?

The dude said,

hey, look, D-Russ,

I spilled the soda in your locker.

I'm sorry that that's the end of that.

Now, what were you saying?

Hey, I'm sorry that's the end of that.

I had to go back and forth

and do all this stuff.

Right, right.

So that was the plan.

I said, hey, man, look, I did it.

I'm sorry that that's the end of that. Now, get you, hey, y'all hip him up.
He ain't my teammate. I ain't hip his ass up.
Right, right, right, right. I got it.
I got it. I got it.
I got it. Oh, Joe! Joe! Warren Moon personally unretired the number one for Cam Ward, Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon, currently the only blank quarterback in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,

gave up his number, famous number

one, gave his blessing

and allowed Cam Ward to wear the

jersey previously retired

by the Titans. Recently

said it would consider giving this blessing to

Ward to wear the digit.

I'm thinking about it, said Moon, when asked

if he would allow permission to give Ward

the number to Ward. Should Warren have felt pressure to do this on Joe? I wouldn't say pressure, but Cam Ward is special.
Cam Ward is a special player. Obviously, he's coming to the Titans.
And why not continue that legacy? Why not continue that legacy that Warren Moon set when he was there and allow Cam to carry that torch on? Youaring the number one as a new franchise quarterback, hopefully for the next decade or so. I like it.
It's a dope move. I wonder if Cam even knew.
You think Cam knew? Okay, okay. That would have been a dope surprise for Warren just to pull up.
I want to ask Joe. Joe, you got your number retired.
Somebody come in and they want to wear that. They want to wear Joe.
They want to wear that. What you doing, Joe? Yeah, I'm doing it.
If it's special. You know what I mean? He's number one pick.
He been wearing the number one. You know, shout out to OG for, you know, taking out the Raptors, letting young boy take off with it.
Yeah, I ain't, I mean, I don't got ego

when it comes to that.

Hold on, hold on, Uncle Joe. We ain't

just giving anybody that

number. You got to be that boy.

Yeah. And

Cam Ward is that boy, so

it's understandable. That's someone,

you know what, Majority

number retired, but for him,

oh yeah, I'm good. I relinquish that.
Absolutely. Joe, you had seven numbers.
Were you always seven, Joe? Nah, man. I wore number two.
You weren't seven in Phoenix. Nah, look, I just got seven when I got to Brooklyn.
But coming up through junior high, high school, and college, I wore number 24. So when I got to the pros, I got drafted

by Boston. They ain't got no numbers.

Every number, they got big numbers. 44,

55, 31.

You can't get no single digit number. 24

after question. Man, they got so many numbers

retired. So look, the only number

they had that I could get was 31. So I

rocked with 31. Yeah, you had

Cornbread Baxwell jersey. Yeah, it's my guy, Cornbread.
Hey And look, I'm in the rafters out there at Boston, baby. 31.
But I get traded to Phoenix. I'm trying to get 24, but I'm playing with Tom Gugliotta.
Tom Gugliotta got 24. So I ain't even going to ask for that two-fold.
You can go home and keep it. Right.
I'm just going to roll with this two. So I've been rocking with number two all the way through Atlanta.
And then when I got to Brooklyn, I just changed it up and went to seven. Oh, okay.
I'm like, damn, Joe, Joe, they couldn't find Joe. They're like, what Joe? Joe, you two, you seven, 24, 31? Right.
Hey, listen, man, I wanted one of them single digits in Boston. When we get drafted, I'm like, okay, what number can I get? Can I get

number 24? They start showing me

all the numbers that was retired. I'm like,

man. Oh, no.
They got Sam Jones,

Casey Jones, Heinsohn, Russell,

Bird, Janice Johnson.

That's bad.

They got Bob Cousy. They got Bill

Sharma.

They got double zero retired.

They got, what's it called?

They got Kevin McHale.

Robert Parrish.

Yeah.

They got double zero, 32, 33.

I think Dennis Johnson, I think DJ was three.

Yeah, he was.

Yeah, they got DJ retired.

They got Sam Jones, Casey Jones,

Hamlichek, Cowans.

So anytime y'all

on the Boston Arena,

y'all look up in the rafters. 31 up there, baby.

That's like so Joe, baby.

We sharing that thing. That's my man.

Y'all already know. That's my man.

Corbett.

Oh, man.

Very touching

but heartbreaking story.

Derek Harmon's mother, who had been on life support,

sadly passed away after he arrived at the hospital

and told her he had been drafted by the Steelers.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Derek Harmon and his family

and all those loved ones that were impacted by this tragic passing.

Man, that's an unbelievable story.

Think about it, Ocho.

He arrives at the hospital. Mom, I don't know if you can hear me or not.
I finally did it. But your baby has been drafted to the Steams.
And later that night... That is an unbelievable story.
For mom to be able to hear that and understand that at that point, my job is done. I can transition.
I've done all I can. All the sacrifices, all the hurdles, the obstacles that I've had to make to ensure that you made it to this point.
And now that you got drafted, I just needed to hear it. I just need to hear it.
Now I'm at peace.

That's it.

That's it.

I mean, hey, she wanted to hear that.

And once she heard that, she could go rest peacefully.

And he wanted to be able to deliver that message to tell his mom,

Mom, you did it.

Everything that, you know, what we went through and what you told me

and how you reared me. Hey, go rest easy, mama.
Go rest easy. Also, I want to send out a very heartfelt.
Hopefully it gets well soon. Elijah Arenas.
Gilbert Arenas was in a car accident. It's being reported that he's doing much better I sent Gil a text he said he's going to be okay but that was so sad I could not believe it that this had happened and man you know we had Gil here and Gil's a great guy he's doing an unbelievable job on Gil Arenas with his crew shout out out Gil.
But I just want you to know that

the Nightcap family and everybody over here

and everybody that's in this chat want to send

our thoughts and prayers to you and hopefully your family.

And Elijah's

doing a lot better now. And so we're praying

for a speedy recovery so we can see what

he's going to do at USC.

We don't know if he's going to be one and done.

Or maybe he got two because this is a very

serious injury. They put him in

an induced coma.

Hopefully he's resting

Thank you. We don't know if he's going to be one and done, or maybe he got two because, you know, this is a very serious injury.
They put him in an induced coma.

Hopefully he's resting comfortably.

And, Gail, I know you by the side.

I know you was worried, but, you know,

you sent me that you thought everything was going to be okay. So I just wanted to send out our thoughts and prayers to you and your family,

Elijah's speedy recovery.

Sure.

I talked to him, too. He told me he didn't have no serious injuries.
Let's do good. Roddy White has a piece for the Jags.
At the Jags, I drafted Shadour. I called the Steelers and tell them I need three first-rounders for Trevor Lawrence, and I start the franchise fresh with Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter, and Shadour Sanders.
Ocho, you like that? I do. I do.
I mean, listen, I mean, it's not going to happen, obviously. It's 3-1 for Trevor Lawrence.
Oh, you're going to get at least two. Okay.
You're going to get at least two and another high draft pick. Hey, but, hey, that's that, ooh, that'll be Kenya match.
Mm-hmm.

Them two back together?

And Duvall?

Du-

Du-

Man,

they give up on travel lines like that?

And on travel?

Nah,

nah,

absolutely not.

I don't think,

I don't,

I don't think they will.

That's a great,

that's a great hypothetical.

Yeah.

I like it.

But that stadium,

that Duvall,

man,

Jacksonville gonna be rocking.

Woo-hoo,

they'll be rocking.

We'll find out.

But I agree with you, Ocho.

I don't think that's gonna happen.

All right, Ocho.

We're gonna get out of here on this one.

This is your last,

this is our last segment of the evening. It's time for Q&A.
Q&A. Lee Frazier said, what is going on with Sanders? Why are they doing him like this? Why must they treat black players like this? And can we change this for future players? Nope.
I get it. I get it.
I get it. Because people look at Archie and Archie basically said, my son is not playing in San Diego.
I do not want my son in the AFC. Now, this is what's going to happen.
And they see, you know, he ends up, they end up selecting, they trade him to the Giants, charges, select him, trade him to the Giants. The Giants select Phillip Rivers, they get another first round pick, yada, yada, yada.
I get it, I get it. It's just tough.
It's just tough to see a guy that's rated this high and fall all the way out of the first three rounds. So I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is. All I know is that what I saw, what my eyes told me, he had an unbelievable college career.
His two years, he was sensational at CU. 37 touchdowns, over 4,000 yards, 70 plus, 70% 70 mid 70 low 70 completion percentage yeah I don't know no but to answer your question ain't nothing we can do because we're not in a position of selecting the players JJ Carver said my Saints passed over, Quinn, Ewers, Dylan Gabriel, just to draft a quarterback been injured every year.
Like Car, is it April Fool all month long? I'm surprised. Okay, they need a quarterback because of the injury with Derek Carver.
We don't know if he's going to be able to play, if he's going to be start the season, the middle of the season, or if he's going to be able to play. They don't select a quarterback in the first round.
But the second round, they don't. And now, the third you take...
They will remind you at any given chance

where they feel you getting out of line

man's gotta be more than that

man's gotta be fun

no no ain't no more than that

ain't no more

trust me ain't no more than that

because there's

we're going to humble you

if you don't want to do it on your own we're gonna do it for you

if you don't want to do it on your own

we will do it for you

Thank you. If you don't want to do it on your own, we're going to do it for you.
If you don't want to do it on your own, we will do it for you. That's all.
That's it. Nothing else.
Samuel Griffith, should the Titans draft Shadour and copy what Washington did with RG3 and Cousins, could the 49ers be a good fit for Shadour? No, because you're about to play Brock Purdy. Why would you pay a quarterback $200-plus million and then draft a quarterback? No, I don't think Titans are going to do that because I think the Titans...
The Titans really like Cam and Cam's style is not like RG3's. RG3 was a scrambling quarterback

which leads to guys being injured.

Right.

So you got to weigh the options.

Okay, here's a guy that has a style

that could potentially lead to him getting injured.

So, no, I don't think the Titans

is going to do what Washington did. And no, I don't think the 49ers are a good fit for Shadour.
Frankie Rodriguez, listen, this is why Shadour hasn't been drafted. Number one, he's only been coached by his father.
Teams don't know if he can adapt to new coaches. A coach at a gym on the hot seat knows Deion is on deck.
What do you think, Ocho? I like that. I like that.
And I love, in regards to where he goes, if things aren't going well, especially as a team collectively, the rumors will start to swirl about Prime at some point coming to the NFL to coach Shador. Now, I understand.
And also, I think some teams are scared of the power and what they bring, you know, with that last name. And that's just something you have to deal with.
There are other players that are just as polarizing. Maybe don't carry that much weight, you know, as a family unit, as one.
But I mean, it's scaring some of the teams. But still, you understand what you get.
You understand what you get as a player. No, it's your door.
So it's, it's confusing to me when you turn the film on and you watch the tape and I've watched the tape on all the other quarterbacks that have, that have gone before him. And it's, it's mind boggling.
And I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with any of the quarterbacks that have gotten drafted, you know, a kudos to them. You know, this obviously you're living a childhood dream of yours.
But, I mean, like, come on, man. Hold on.
So, you think, you know, that's probably one of the reasons he's not getting drafted. Because, you know, they think Deion coming in to replace him? Well, I think the thing is that the only voice he's really heard is his father's voice.
From the time he started playing football, his father's coached him every step of the way. What about the eye test? Oh, yeah, when the eye test me can play.
There's certain things that with certain cats, they're not going to test well when it comes to agility and all that and strength training. I agree.
But when you put them out there on the court or the field or what happens. On the field.

They know how to make plays, man.

I think some of that stuff you can't account for.

Like just watching film ain't going to do it or just going to watch him throw.

That's not going to show, you know, what he can do in between the lines, you know, when he get on the field.

That's what I'm saying.

Ocho, Charlie Ward was the Heisman and didn't get drafted.

Did you remember that, right, Ocho?

That's right.

You remember that, right?

That's right.

Okay, I'm just making sure

the champs understand.

So it's not like, now, a lot of people

are going to say, well, Charlie had told him that

blah, blah, blah, was going to go play in the NBA.

NBA, yeah.

But ain't nobody going to take a flyer?

Hey, Bo Jackson told Tampa that if you select me, I'm gonna go play baseball. They took him number one overall.
So, you're not gonna tell us what we're not gonna do. Now, they ended up trading that big to the Raiders, but I'm just saying, Hugh Reston, Hugh Carverhouse, who used to be the owner of Tampa Bay, Bo was the best player.
He said, if you draft me, Tampa, because they had done, you know, ruined a lot of other players. Tampa was not very good.
You select me, I'm going to go play baseball. With the first pick, Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Vincent Bo Jackson.
You got to be a bad boy, hey, to get selected first and then don't want to play for them? Like, you know, I'm just gonna go ahead and play baseball. I ain't doing all that.
I ain't even fooling with y'all. CJ got sense, saying, Shannon, this can't be a race thing.
We should do her. The Titans drafted Cam number one overall.
Don't you know it's a personality thing? To be honest with you, CJ, I don't know what it is trying to do we're trying to say hey we threw the personality out we threw uh does he have a pre-existing condition uh yeah what what I mean does he have yeah yeah we don't I don't CJ I'm gonna be honest with you I don't know I haven't talked to time I'm sure at some point in time I'll get around and I'll sit down and I'll ask time. Time, what you think happened? But I don't know.
Yeah, that's puzzling, bro. Never happened ever in the history of the game.
DeJuan High said black confidence is scary to them. They hate that they can't break his confidence in himself,

and he's already rich.

They can't hold money over him.

Free black men is America's nightmare.

Listen, I read it earlier.

I don't know if you heard what I read earlier, but... Hey.

Hey, can he go back to school?

Nope.

He got an agent?

Even if you don't, NFL don't play that. Once you declare for the draft, it's good night out of read.
That's it. That's it.
JJ said, oh, Lakers got to stop turning the ball over. I agree.
Turn the ball over, those young guys get out and easy, get easy buckets on you. I agree.
They definitely, JJ, need to stop turning that ball over. If LeBron knew how close the game

out there would

have won 38 points

means nothing if you sink

if he sink the end

clutch last five minutes he ghosted.

Look, yeah, I don't

I mean, you're asking a 40 year old.

I mean, how many 40 year old-olds have ever made the playoffs,

let alone scored 38?

You're asking a man, 41 minutes.

41 minutes.

He gave you 10 rebounds, so he's really exerting himself

because he got to get on the glass.

I mean, he's 13 or 21 from the field,

5 and 9 from the three-point line.

Any plan defense. He just needed a little help to make.
He just needed a little more help. Kendrick Clements.
I can't say Lakers or 5. Oh, no.
New 2006, Brad. No Lakers or 5.
See, y'all want to pile on. We got something for you now.
T.S., car wash and detail service. Clippers winning it all till we fall.
Don't give Kawhi the ball. Kawhi's playing unbelievable.
Kawhi's playing unbelievable. He's healthy.
He got that mini going. And when he gets that mini going, and then you combine that with his ability to shoot the three, he tough to deal with, man.
He tough to deal with. On top of him, you still got James Harden playing at a high level too.
You get both of them dudes going the way they've been playing the past few games, past couple games, and Zubox give you a double-double every night. Yeah, and Zubox, they just got a bunch of guys chipping in, man, doing the little dirty work.
And really, I mean, game three, it wasn't even no game for real. They have no start to finish pretty much.
Sir Cates, my guys, is not gone after the season if the buck loses. And will the Dolphins eventually get fed up and trade Tyreek if he keeps up with these trade antics?

I don't know.

Did he say something, Mocho?

Did he say something today about being traded?

I didn't hear anything.

Everything's been draft covers for me,

so I didn't see anything any current players have said.

Doc, does he get fired if the Bucs get bounced in the first round, Joe?

I think they're going to make some changes. If they lose in the first round, Joe? I think, yeah, I think they're going to make some changes.
If they lose in the first round, they're going to make some changes. I know Dane may get hurt, but I think they're probably going to give up on that Giannis and Dane thing if they can't get past these paces.
Well, Dane really never wanted to go there anyway. Dane wanted to go to Miami.
Yeah. But Miami didn't want to give up the package that it was going to take in order for them to get Dane.
Pat Riley tried to man, Pat Riley always tried to strong-arm somebody. We're going to give you this.
Nah, you're not going to give us no pieces. This is what we want.
Take it or leave it. You called us.
We didn't call you. Yeah.
He's gonna try to get what he can get. He's trying to make it right for himself and for the heat.
He ain't standing there. Yeah, and I ain't trying to help the heat.
I am not trying to help the heat be title contenders. So, give me what I want or kick rocks.
Right. Yeah.
Rich Claver, Joe, I've been rocking with you. It was go to Joe.

You too quick. Debo can't catch you.
Ocho in five. Debo can't see you.
That's what he meant. My bad.
