He was born in 01. That's crazy.
That ain't bad. You started when you was 18, bro.
Yeah, bro. You doing a real bit, bro.

That ain't bad. Five years ain't bad.

Shout out to the COVID year for sure.

They took care of business, man.

Listen, the real game yesterday, Alabama State

and St. Francis wrote a clip.

Shout out to my boys down there in the trenches.

Come on, man. Shout out to two chairs.

No NIL at all.

Oh, no. They doing for the love of the game for sure.

March Madness kicked off. Hail Mary play.
They look like Arlington out there. First of all, that's crazy.
As a coach, are you putting somebody on the ball? An opposite side of the court? That's Bubby and Dale. Everybody get back.
Good win, man.

I'm getting all the way back.

I'm getting under the bucket.

That's crazy.

Everybody get back.

What we doing?

Look at dude right here denying

at half court.

He's doing nothing.

Look at him right here.

At the three-point line in red.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You ain't doing nothing.

Who is he guarding?

Nothing. He don't even see the ball.
This is a bad play by that team. They deserve to lose.
Jontae Porter. He took over.
Look at him, bro. He can't even see the ball.
Who is he guarding? Let's see his DraftKings account for sure. Now, that is actually crazy.
Why is he taking the ball away, bro? I never know that to now, but this is funny. That's one of the worst basketball

players I think I've ever seen. Like, who

are you guarding? You can't even see the ball

in the air. Like, if they was to throw it over your head

right to him at half court, you couldn't even see it.

You just blew it. Yeah.
Dude

could have got a three-pointer, really. Thanks.

Like, look, if he threw it to dude at half

court, just threw it over the top of his head, he could

have dribbled two dribbles and shot a three.

Yeah, they deserved that exit. Well, this is what the madness is about, man.
Come on, man. Playing 16 team C's going crazy.
That's my get well soon. Y'all ain't got to ask me.
Do that half court. That's the crazy part.
That's him right there? Nah, I hope that. But nah, the gif is going up.
That is tough, man. What are you doing, bro bro He's standing the wrong way In a locker room what are you saying for a loss like that I don't know bro Bad coaching bro Niggas ain't even thinking about him though I'm gonna be real Yeah but they ain't thinking about him bro Bro a Hail Mary lay for game is crazy Everybody get back bro Might gonna catch it in front of you bro man if that's setting the tone for the tournament we're about to have a hell of a next two weeks for sure man should be exciting for sure man shouts i got a new coach man took west virginia's coach darrian devise hey uh we talked about this are you job being a job that people really not want to deal with the pressure with but obviously he tapped in mook how you feel about? I mean, he had a cool year at West V.
Is he really going to make that much of a difference? No. I don't see it.
It's cool. He must be a heck of a recruiter or something because I don't understand the hire.
I mean, West Virginia had an okay season. They probably should have made the tournament.
They complaining that they should have made the tournament over at UNC, but like Jay Billis said, win more games. Yeah.
If you got to sue somebody to get in a tournament, you shouldn't make a tournament. First of all, that's crazy.
Going to the law, that's like Drake. That's out of pocket, bro.
What are we doing, bro? But I don't think people want the IU job. I mean, you see a lot of coaches that get it.
Tom Kareem, Hall of Fame coach. Kelvin Sampson going to be a Hall of Fame coach.
All these guys that

had that job, they didn't really get a fair

shake at it. It's just one of

them jobs. It's like Kentucky.

It's a lot of pressure coming with that job,

bro. You got to win chips.

They want wins. They want to win championships.

That's a winning program. But they don't really win.
They don't,

but that's what they expect. They haven't won in a year.

They're like the Cowboys. Nah, that's a fact,

bro. They haven't won since the 80s.
They haven't, but they still think they supposed to win every year. I didn't need that comparison, but we're saying.
But it's accurate. It's definitely accurate.
Bob Knight's not walking through that door, bro. And then the swag is so weak.
Yeah, I mean, that candy cane shit, I hate that shit. The jerseys is weak.
Like the whole. The warm-ups is ass.
Everything is weak. The building weak.
I mean, it's a... It's a historical building, but a historical building.
But shit weak. As you said, though, kids don't care.
Kids generally don't care about history, bro. They don't.
Like, real talk, bro. These kids do not give a damn.
These kids don't even remember when y'all played barely. They don't, bro.
So, they be damned if they listen to a Bob Knight story. Bob Knight, come on.
Yeah. And you say he choked somebody? They definitely nothing.
Bro, throw a chair. These kids would scratch us.
They'd put hands and feet on Bob Knight, bro. Yeah.
That would never happen today. Nah.
So they probably do need to coach that. I mean, we got to let him figure it out first.
Give him a chance. Yeah.
Because he, like you said, he might be a fire recruit coach. Yeah, he might be able to recruit.
That's the only thing think of We're going to give him a chance, man He turned up Drake, though He got Drake to a really nice program So he did do his job, for sure He's familiar with the Midwest, so recruiting may help as well He's also bringing his son over, too, who's pretty nice as well So, hey, nothing wrong with that You know the vibes? Tap in He averaged 15, though He ain't no crew on the bench Daddy boss supposed to stop at 9U Come on man Come on man Bring your son to college bro Who is the son bro? He probably a junior Oh he white? Man how old is he? He 22 He playing too he 26

And he about to get the biggest NIL

He average 15

15 to 5 turn me up

Tucker help your daddy recruit

Get in the field

I'm the first recruit

Get in the field man

He white he 6'7 you gonna love him

Will she he back

For sure cause they gonna be happy

To bring some spark back to IU

I wish. man.
He white and he's 6'7". IU gonna love him.
Nah, we're gonna give him a chance. Will she heat back? For sure.
They're gonna be happy, man, to bring some spark back to IU. That's a college town for real.
It is. We don't see, though.
It's crazy because Matt Painter always said, hey, y'all fans, y'all should just really chill out. Y'all can have y'all coach a real long time.
He's like, shut up. We don't like y'all.
Y'all are ops. But it's low-key kind of true.
Yeah. Game Cup don't give it to them, though.
He said, I'm out of here. Oh, no, the player's in that portal.
Game Cup slid. Yeah, another player that wants to go to Ohio University.
He's out of here. Gone.
He going back to the crib. Ooh-wee, that's a bad loss.
Yeah, that's a tough one for sure. All right, man, we got some games tonight, some more play-ins.
Hopefully that could be as good as yesterday. 16 matchup, American University and Mount St.
Mary's. I'm not too familiar with either one of these.
Moog, who you got? Oh, that's an assy game. I like Mount St.
Mary's, though. I watched them a few times this year.
They're pretty good. Respect.
Now, the real game. Back for that.
Texas versus Xavier. 11C play in, 9, 10 p.m.
Where we going with it? Man, I... Damn, man.
I'm going to rock with Ryan. I want Xavier to win, but I think Texas is going to win I want Xavier to win Texas is playing well right now Trey Raw He is nasty Jesus NBA prospect for sure I'm rooting for the home team I'm going with Xavier too I want Xavier to win But my mind My betting hand says Texas Okay I'm gonna rock out with Xavier's well Shout out to Ryan Now can we put a bracket up One more time please Mook I'm gonna go here and see obviously we ain't going to be able to get here through the weekend but any of these games any upsets you picking so far um under season might surprise some people because we ain't super tapped in on the car side damn that drake matchup i got nice i got drake winning i don't know exactly who they play yeah i got them can't sneak a win out on maryland bro they good bro people don't know about them yeah okay i don't think i like drake too bcu could beat byu yeah it's gonna be a hell of a game it's gonna be a great game damn what number they could beat oregon bro i promise you liberty like Liberty like that? They good, bro.
11-6, man. Okay, I like them.
Styles make fights. VCU might disrupt.
My boy Robert Morris down there. Yeah, Robert Morris.
They play Arkansas. They play Alabama.
Alabama Morris, bro. Yeah.
Who Arkansas play? I've seen Alabama SEC this year. It might be a belt to ass situation.
Alabama's shaky, bro. Alabama can score.
Yeah, they can put that ball on the best. Arkansas play Kansas? Yeah, it's over with Kansas.
That's going to be a hell of a game. No, it ain't.
Kansas going to blow. You don't think so? I think Kansas going to win, but it's going to be a better game than they think.
It's built to ass? Built to ass. Because Kansas is trash for real this year.
It is, but just for some reason they got big man probably killed him hundred diggers and 36 years old he is they give him a lot of the ogs of the tournament is great he about to kill i'm really sick of these kids being that old in college. Yeah, they got to fix that, bro.
No, that's the way, bro. This is my job now.
It's not college basketball. Oh, my God.
They had to fix that. That's ridiculous, bro.
Where am I supposed to go? I might go to the league. Every time I look at Auburn, bro, I just get mad.
Like, why is he 25, turning 26 in the tournament? A kid can't even get recruited from high school no more. Yeah, bro.
You got to work super, super hard. That just makes me so mad.
That's crazy. Because Jimmer Verdette could have been 25, bro, in college.
And he would have been the oldest NIL player of all time. For sure.
Nasty. That's crazy.
It would have been worth it in his instance, though. Because he really didn't pan out in the league.
But Jimmer was lottery, though. But I'm saying he didn't have a successful NBA career.
He would have probably ran it up for real. That's the person who was ahead of his time.
If Jimmer came around in the three-friendly NBA era, Jimmer would have been around for a long time. Jimmer would have been a fan favorite.
Most definitely. Favorites to win it all? Man, we got all preliminary.
Fuck it. We here now.
Let's see who's still here next week. Who got a team back out to win it all? I like Duke, bro.
I do. You want to go with Duke? If Cooper Flagg come back, I like Duke.
Yeah, I'll take Duke. Yeah, squad.
You got to take Duke. Man, I'm going to go out on a limb, bro.
I got two picks. I'm going to either take Houston or I'm taking St.
John's. They defense travel.
Yeah. My bias says Louisville, but it's tough.
We got cheated this year with that pick. But I'm going to St.
John's. Rick Pitino winning the national championship, it's time for a different conversation for sure.
Oh, yeah, if Duke meet them, we clapping them. That's a light day.
So if Rick win, he the greatest? In my eyes, if he goes and gets three national championships at three different universities and as many Final Fours as he has, he has to be in the top of all for sure. That's fair.
Because nobody else moved around. Everybody else who had a lot of success stayed at one school.
Very rarely do you see people who moved around and had success or multiple Final Fours. Everywhere he went, they go to a Final Four.
He up there now. In the schools he done did it at? Yeah, he up there now.
That's crazy, bro. To win a rivalry in both universities, that's already legendary to me.
That's crazy. That's like somebody going to Duke of North Carolina To get a chip That's elite Don't ever compare them Two schools That rivalry is just on par It's on par It's on par It's on par It's real beef in Kentucky For a Louisville and Kentucky fan Don't forget about it I'm telling you truth Louisville and Kentucky Is not a real thing Bro no it's no real fame I was good bro Louisville What are you talking about When y'all had Gorgie and him We had more national championships than White Forest White Forest ain't we don't got no robbery Exactly Y'all ain't got no conversation Kentucky and Louisville is one of the biggest Robbery in sports.
It's not a real robbery. It's not even a real robbery.
The college experts will tell you that. It's a little bit under that.
It ain't a real robbery. Y'all just in the same state, bro.
Y'all are wild. Y'all was 15 minutes from all the campuses.
Y'all ain't have no ops. 45.
Y'all ain't have no ops. Wake Forest and North Carolina, North Carolina No rivalries Nah Cause we a private school Super Duke and North Carolina Right next to each other If it's behind that I'm not mad It's the biggest rivalry In sports But it's It's getting watered down On some real shit Y'all are Indiana and Purdue No Look at the list We didn't make this list Indiana and Purdue Is bigger than Louisville, Kentucky Nah that's the same No That's about the That's the same.
It's the same, bro. Because of the players.
Louisville is... Kentucky helps their rivalry.
Kentucky's so much greater than Louisville. IU been weak for a minute, so they ain't really helping their rivalry, but it's still a good rivalry.
Who did y'all play in the Final Four the year y'all won? Who did y'all play in the Final Four? Play Louisville. And then who won next year? So we went to two back Final Fours, right? We didn't win one last one.
I told y'all y'all. Y'all had a two-year run where y'all were good.
Like Kentucky been good. Go back to 96, 98.
Go back to 69. It's like Cincinnati, Xavier.
All them shits is the same, bro. No, y'all help that rivalry out a lot, bro.
No, we do. A whole lot, bro.
Because y'all win too many. Yes.
I mean, we is putting belts at it. Yeah, bro.
Let's keep it real. It ain't even even.
We putting belts at it. At one point, Indiana was fired and Purdue got lit.
Now you can see the difference. Like, all right, it's a good game.
I mean, it's still a weak game. That's what I'm saying about Duke and North Carolina.
Duke is dominating. They got too much history, bro.
Duke is dominating. But then you got Michael Jordan.
Then you got Ray Felt. I can say Junior Bridgman.
He won a national championship in Louisville. No, but I'm saying RP.
But I'm saying, like, they still got Ray Felton.

Then they just had, when Marcus and them played Carolina,

what's them boys?

Who this Louisville got in 1983?

When they had John Henson, Harrison Barnett.

What's his name?

Like, who?

No, this big daddy.

Who played for Louisville in 83?

Nobody.

It don't matter.

We got a challenge.

Jordan Worthy.

Yeah.

Sam Perkins.

I had no idea.

We're going to love that though.

We're going to love that though for sure. Y'all got hoops for real.
Y'all got Donovan Mitchell and Terry Rozier. Shout out to my nigga Francisco Garcia.
Show respect. That's what I'm saying.
Now we start doing Kentucky. We start getting crazy.
Pretty well. We get that dude three years ago in Kentucky.
It's going to look crazy. Oh, if you're going to that point, I don't disagree.
It ain't no rivalry. It's a little of a fire play.
ain't going to disrespect y'all like that. I am.
When you're speaking about Kentucky, it's a rivalry. It's not as big as Duke and North Carolina, but it's a rivalry.
No, bro. Even Rondo from Louisville with the Kentucky.
That's because of Rupertino. He went to Prince.
He made the right choice, bro. I'm just saying, bro.
Y'all can't. When somebody, when a team carries so much, you can't call that a rivalry, bro.
That's all we say. It's supposed to be back to back.
I'll make it simple for y'all. It's like Brooklyn and the Knicks.
It's like the Nets and the Knicks. That's how Kentucky moves.
No, we win championships, though. We got to find a number.
That's the same. They get chips, bro.
They knew what. We had the same amount of championships that Kentucky has since 96.
All right. Come on, bro.
Chris, man. Shout out to you.
You put a banner up. Come on.
We got one the next year, though. We better than y'all.
For sure. I ain't going to disrespect.
We better than y'all. Y'all got one chip.
Okay. Everybody.
Blast girl find a nut. Pause.
Well, wait. Y'all better get lucky because, god damn it, that banner is bare.
Listen, we ain't paying enough people. Okay, I'll give y'all this.
Is Louisville have better lineage than UConn? No. If you're going players, no.
We're not going to ever match that. Louisville is with Wake Forest.
UConn got two back-to-back. Wake Forest has got a better lineage than Louisville.
Alumni base, I agree. UConn one of the ones, bro.
Yeah, UConn is a blue blur. So whoever UConn is carrying, that's a rivalry needs to be above the Kentucky-Louisville one, bro.
They don't even got no rivalry. They don't body in there.
That's not that. Nobody else on there.
UConn don't got one. It's like Wake Forest.
We don't got one. That's cool.
I'm just saying, I played in that game, bro. That's a rivalry, bro.
Listen, Kentucky-Indiana game is bigger than the Louisville-Kentucky game That's cap I ain't gonna lie, bro That's a robbery That Kentucky-Indiana game Bigger than the Louisville-Kentucky game That's a robbery, bro It is a robbery Kentucky-Indiana I ain't gonna lie, bro That Louisville is kind of watered down Hey, shat the fuck, Kessler, bro We top 10 in the nation We got a fucking AC That's cheap, bro They hate us, bro Y'all gonna move, boy Don't move, boy. Crayton about to beat that ass.
Don't move. Don't do that move.
I'm just keeping it real. Don't do that.
Defund Crayton. Think about Louisville two years ago.
Yeah, they was ass. Oh, my God.
Stop snitching. That's what happened.
Niggas start snitching our program. They got ugly.
Don't do Kenny Payne like that. No, Kenny Payne is worse.
He came to Louisville to fuck up his program. Coach Mack was there.
That's my guy. He's a White Forest guy.
We was on death penalty, bro. I just looked it up.
They got UConn and Georgetown as a rivalry. Oh, that's one side as well.
UConn and Tennessee women's basketball. That's a rivalry.
That's bigger than Louisville. For sure.
Pass something and then, yeah. Respect.
Shout out to the game.

What's the super chat?

Tyrone Johnson Jr.

Jeff, what would you say is the hardest adjustment for y'all

coming from a successful college career to the NBA?

Are you going to play BJ 101, Jeff?

Who the fuck is BJ?

It's on the way.

The hardest thing was just not playing.

Yeah.

And then the structure. In college, real structure.
You go to the NBA, it's freedom. Do whatever you playing.
Yeah. Yeah.
And then the structure.

In college, you real structure.

You go to the NBA, it's freedom.

Do whatever you want.

Everything on you.

But, yeah, not playing.

Yeah.

You said that.

Like you said, you're going to be the man on your team.

You got to fight for minutes and shit.

We're not playing at all.

That's a different adjustment for sure.

For sure.

Yo, what's good? It's Jeff T from Club 520 Podcast here with my latest fresh take on the 2025 NCAA tournament brought to you by Wendy's, the official hamburger of March Madness. What a weekend.
Easily my two favorite games from the Elite Eight were Duke beating Alabama, Florida beating Texas Tech. Duke beating Alabama with their defense, being able to attack in transition,

and getting out on the open floor, finding Cooper flag and all their talented players. And Florida beating Texas Tech, what a win by them, coming up big in the end.
Now with my final four is set, I like Florida beating Auburn because of the way they play. They got a closer in Clayton Jr., and I got Duke playing Houston, and I got Houston being my champions in a 2025 NCAA tournament.
It should

be a good game. Should be an exciting weekend.
I'm looking forward to it. We'll see if I'm right, but while you're watching the games in the meantime, remember the freshest deal in fast food's gotta be Wendy's.
Right now you can get a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger or a double stack for $1 with an in-app offer and a purchase. Again, head to Wendy's app to grab a $1 junior bacon cheeseburger, a $1 double stack with an in-app offer and a purchase.
For the freshest hamburgers around, gotta be Wendy's, the official hamburger of March Madness. It's Julie Stewart-Banks.
I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters, and I have story after story to share.
And believe it or not, I have plenty to say, and not just about hockey. Believe me, he does.
Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast, and it's going to be, well, it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially linemates, Nate.
We're the Energy line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, Hall of Famers, and wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has.
She has quite the Rolodex. Okay.
We'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie.
I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J.
Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J.
Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans?

It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's get to the league.
Yesterday, the Warriors got a dub over the Bucs. Yesterday, 104-93.
Steph did not play due to rest, but it didn't matter. Jimmy picked up the slack with 24-10-8 yesterday.
Brandon Krasinski with crazy with 17-7. Giannis had 29-7, and Dame had 16.
We got to figure out what's up with Dame, man. He ain't really been having a really good last month.
No, he hasn't. He been struggling a little bit.
The Bucs as a whole. Yeah, they've been struggling.
You got to get that dub yesterday with Steph being there.

I know the Warriors are a capable team, but this playoff time.

Y'all got to get that dub for sure.

Look at him.

That's just not – that's not dang.

We got 16, 19, shooting 33%, game 22%.

They don't not be a second option, bro.

That's not his thing.

I think that's his biggest struggle.

I know how to fit in.

They didn't even – I mean, he ain't supposed to be a second option. Yeah, bro.
That's a French-out player. Flat out.
And Giannis, as we know, is not the easiest player to deal with. Superstar-wise, he dominates the ball more than the guard, so it's kind of hard for him to get rhythm.
But yesterday's loss, man. I mean, shout-out to the Warriors.
They've been rolling, but you got to get that dub yesterday. Yeah.
Dang. That uh but jimmy beller obviously more than capable nah we know what jimmy can do that drew holiday for dame trade is that's a terrible trade bro i'm sorry you think it's a bad trade yeah bro drew fit them too good bro yeah because drew is a swiss army knife like he allowed yannis to play point guard because he'd go sit in the dunker yeah he won't bring the ball up here go play off the ball yeah that's what he do with the Boston Celtics right now he don't even play point guard nah and obviously Dame is a hall of famer but that trade alone fucked up the Eastern Conference because Drew Holiday was not supposed to be on that Celtics team bro oh now the Celtics look like they ain't gonna never lose bro I think they need to give me some money for that.
Yeah. I legit called that.
You did? You said it on Wax? No, you did. Because honestly, if that trade doesn't happen, then Dame probably goes to Miami.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, so obviously they get the adjustment they're looking for, but man, the Celtics don't look like they got to lose. They good for a couple years, bro.
I think the ideal of Damon Giannis fit and everybody like,

ooh, that two-man game

is going to be ridiculous.

But that's not how Giannis play.

He's not a traditional

pick-and-pop,

pick-and-roll player.

He can do that.

But Giannis the type of dude

to tell you to come

set the screen.

Yeah, he pushing the ball.

And I'm not lying.

He told me to set the screen.

I said, what the fuck?

He the point guard, bro.

Him tell you to set the screen. He set the screen and pop, man.
All right, man. Dude, my time was up.
Can't play like this. Nah.
Giannis telling the PG to come set the screen. They do, though.
Go watch the game. Giannis got to play with a point guard like Drew Holiday because he need the ball, bro.
Now, I ask, what type of superstar would y'all think is ideal for Giannis? Because obviously, if things don't work out this year, he gone. That's pretty much a right on the wall.
What is a fit for him? But what team fits Giannis or do you think he could make it work? Should the Warriors? That would be cheating. That would be cheating.
He'd have to go to a team like. But I'm here for it.
Like, yeah, because Steph's not a traditional point guard. Steph play off the ball.
He'll have to go play with a person like that. Even though I compare Dame and Steph all the time, Dame is a ball-dominant point guard.
He make plays for other people. He can play off the ball with another perimeter player who plays similar to him and can make plays and get him some shots too right yana's not like that he

not a traditional big so you gotta find a guard who's not like a traditional point guard yep

like he couldn't play with a little mellow no no anybody that needs the ball he can't play with

luca can't play with ja no oh no no he can't play with nobody that need the ball bro he gotta be

drew holiday was the perfect point guard for him that's why they had success damn um i can't think of nobody else that's kind of like uh like he could play with like derrick white now yeah he could play with like all that type of yeah so if you're the bucks and you want to keep him obviously you're gonna probably have to move down but do you get to make Giannis happy? It's just like, fuck it. I'm just going to rock out by myself until I'm gone.
Sometimes it'll be the best shit you got, but you had. Sometimes.
Hey, preach. Talk your shit.
Me and my soul, nigga. Can I do anything for love? Hey, bitch.
ESPN could never. Nah, for real.
Like, everybody want, you know, Drew to get leave, Chris to leave, break up their team, do all that. And they ain't had no real success since then.
I ain't saying him and Dane won't. I mean, they got injured last year.
But there's just gonna be a lot of pressure on this year. Dane thought he was about to be getting a pick and roll.
He gonna be rolling, hitting a pocket pass. He ain't getting none of that.

And they get something Dame going to the corner. That's crazy.
Watch out, boy. I got you.
I mean, I don't know. We talked to him.
Man, he said they can win it. They got to tell it.
I mean, what else? But he got to. Nah, but he was like talking to us like, bro, I'm telling y'all, we clicking.
And then now. I mean, Dame just got to play at a super, super high level because if he's not making shots, if he's not scoring, it's going to be so tough.
And the shots that he got to make are so tough. He can make them, but they tough.
He can, but they tough. We know Dame is special.
He's one of them guys, but it's just Giannis playing with Giannis is just different, man. It's just different.
One of the things you talk about this off the subject is you talked about Andre Jackson's like contribution to that team yeah his miss is all gone because of Kyle Kuzma yeah and Kuz shot 7-16 yesterday 5-13 from 3 but if Kuz ain't like hooping like hooping hooping or find a groove with this team it's going to be ugly for them to get yeah that extra boost they need Because they can't rely on Brooke Lopez all the time.

Obviously capable, but you can't rely on that.

You know why you need an Andre Jackson, though?

It's because he make Dame jobs so much easier.

Like, I'm a guard, the best perimeter player, right?

But I also can push the ball.

Because he fast as shit.

He athletic as hell.

He can pass.

He can dribble.

He just can't shoot at all. But he do the small things like those extra shots that Dame need.
He a dribble hand that shit off. Throw it back to Dame.
Dame and get that shot. With Kyle Kuzma.
He's shooting at me. That's going up.
Gary Trent going up. All of them is going up.
And you need those guys to score or whatever. But he just made them little plays.
And like them like them little things that them extra possessions that they wanted he was getting them. People like him make championship teams bro.
Do all the extra shit. I would like to see a report on this Bucs team about the assists in the first half and how they translate to the second half because if you hit the first half y'all just keep swinging.
When they go one for two one for three in that first half, that second half they are an easier team to guard you only know it's going to be dame or him yeah they're going to be straight in the playoffs man i mean yeah they got two it depends on who they call the famers we we we're giving them too much heck now i mean it's time it's only too early y'all it ain't it's ain't that many games left yeah they're a capable team for sure, bro. They can get high.

They got two Hall of Famers on their team. I don't know, bro.

The way that they play at the end of games is so crazy

that they could possibly lose some games they shouldn't lose.

All right.

I mean, like you said, they got Damian.

It's always enough for sure.

But shout out to the Bucs, man.

Yeah, moving on.

Celtics beat the next yesterday 104-96.

JT and JB didn't play. Didn't matter anyway.
Porzingis had or 13. derrick white had 18 d low showed up at 18 to 7 as well porzingis became the 10th player in nba history to have 900 blocks and 903s in his career that's crazy that he is even a celtic i mean i really don't see nobody beating him bro i ain't gonna lie yeah he he don't even play for months and just come back and do shit like this.

Like, how? They had those

career numbers right there, and you probably

played, missed three years

in your career.

All the games he'd have missed, he probably missed three years.

It's like, dang, you was a

special talent, my boy. And to have him

just in the tuck. That is crazy.

Damn, he ain't the plan.

That's crazy, bro.

That's true.

That trade is crazy, too. Why is True Holiday on the Celtics, bro?

What is going on?

What did he play, 493 games?

Yeah, he's probably missed 493.

And to have 900 blocks and 493?

That's crazy. Pretty good career.

And he left two teams that really could have

used him now, which is crazy, the Knicks

and also the Mavs.

That's crazy, bro. The Mav crazy man loves him right now what but he also well the knicks he got hurt but he was killing in new york killing and now he's just on the super like they are really a super team on the lois and keys you have elite players all around bro they are a super team bro yeah like even look at they rookie come on man he 18 minutes all season.
He got 20 point games. 13 in the fourth.
30th pick. They play all year.
That nigga's averaging a dub shooting 48%. And that show started five.
Missed 260 games. Those stats would be crazy.
He would have a thousand and a thousand above for those situations already Surpass that, that's only a hundred more I was just being generous in the situation He was one of the ones Yeah he coach But you get your 30th pick in the draft Rookie getting 20 points 13 in the fourth It's just something they got over there in player development That's just working out. And shout out to my guy.
He got the eye. Right.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
He know how to pick teams. He put the teams together.
He can see the players that they need, and he draft well. Like, all they draft picks have been, like, in the last couple of years have been successful.
Like, Peyton Pritchard, even when they grant Williams, he was good for them. Yeah.
Like, Peyton Pritchard, even when they, Grant Williams, he was good for them.

Yeah.

Peyton Pritchard is a Brad Stevens guy for sure. Oh, man.
Throwing through.

Fast. Like even trading to get

Derrick White. Like when it happened, it was

like, why would you trade here? And then you're gonna make

a tough decision to trade Marcus Smart, who

was a Celtic, throwing through.

To make that trade,

people was kind of upset at first and then to see what it turned out to be. Nobody said a word since at all.
Dog, the fact that he got Luke Cornett giving them crazy minutes on a consistent basis, bro, contributions as well. Yeah.
Yeah, they talking about he was going to take the IU job. For what? For what? For what? I'm out here playing NBA 2K in real life, bro.
I ain't about to go deal with that crazy ass fan base. I'm building crazy teams right now.
I'm building dynasties, bro. Xavier Tillman played a role last year in their championship.
Facts. He's just sitting on the bench waiting.
Right. Torrey Craig on the bench waiting.
Waiting. Yeah, squad.
They got a super squad. For sure, man.
Yeah. It's going to get real ugly, man.
But the Celtics are pretty good, man. They definitely have a strong chance to repeat for sure.
Yo, Clips got a win yesterday. Beat him.
You called it. Seven out of the last eight.
Beat the Cavs yesterday. 132 to 119.
While we're crazy, 33-7. Big Zool.
28-20. The Cavs is just too little.
James Harden had 22. Now you say too little? Yeah.
If Garland and Mitchell ain't getting 25-30, bro, they can't compete, bro. Yeah.

a possible 1-8 matchup

the Thunder vs Clippers

I don't know if they

can win that series

but they got some

hell of a players

on the Clippers side

that make it a little

bit difficult

they can scare him

a little bit

Kawhi can get going

Kawhi look like

he looked last night

we'll be alright

on a four game

win streak right now. James Harden still cold.
Hey, come on. He hit Mobley with that.
I actually don't know if they want that. They might not want that, bro.
What's crazy, too many vets, bro. They have two-game win streak from being in the sixth spot.
James Harden, man, he's so good at basketball. And they got Big Zoo to deal with that OKC team.
I feel like James Harden, he's in shape all the way, really, too. He never in shape no more.
He still be killing, bro. Yeah, like his knees hurt.

He be nasty, bro. My boy be getting that bitch up.
Yeah, he be missing now, but. And Bojanovic hooked out yesterday.
Perfect game. Oh, no.
Let's go back

to our convo.

What?

You remember when I said

they hooked out?

No, no, no.

You remember I was like,

they got bogey.

And he was like,

what the fuck?

Bogey.

You remember?

That's because he was

disrespecting Patriots.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's a great.

That's a great.

I was like,

they got bogey.

I was like,

bogey, all right.

That's because he was

disrespecting Pascal Siakam

that day.

What you saying about

Louisville Championship

every what?

Hey, don't compare him to a championship organization.

That's disrespect.

Louisville, man.

We more M.P.C. than him.

That's a quality player, man.

And shout out to Nick Batum still getting run.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

Patty Mills, DNP, but he's still in the league.

I seen Corey Joseph the other day.

Shout out to the old heads getting back.

We're good guys, man.

We're good guys.

For sure. All right, does this say much about the Cavs? Yeah we better than them What it do say though Like I said earlier in a week In previous shows If they don't combine for 50 points It's going to be a tough game You spoke on that first for sure That's not a good sign then

They got to get 50 every night

Yeah

We're going to win in the playoffs

Donovan Mitchell and our buddy

Darius Garland got to combine for 50 plus

Because Darius Garland will go out there and get you 12

I'm saying yeah and that's when they're going to lose

If they don't combine for 50

It's going to be a rough one

Because in the playoffs the role players

They don't always be as good as they are in the regular season

So if you're out here banking on Todd Jerome

You should have promised him it might get smooth

I'm saying, the role players, they don't always be as good as they are in the regular season. So if you out here banking on Todd Jerome, you should have promised him.
It might get smooth. That's a fact.
Good thing about the Cavs, though. They out east, so they cool.
They straight. They gonna play somebody second round, bro.
I mean, yeah, but I'm saying the first round, hopefully they, you know. Yeah, we ain't worried about the first round with them.
We worry about that second. Yeah, when they get to that Knicks or Celtics situation or Bucks, it could get ugly.
I think the Cavicks. They'll beat the Knicks.
Think so? Yeah. I agree.
They got to combine for 20. 50 points.
I really agree with Mook on that. Jalen Brunson is coming back.
They got to get 25 a piece. It's the best thing that ever happened to Jalen Brunson.
They got to sit out. Yeah.
He needs some rest. Yep.
Why do Tibbs refuse to give people rest? He really do, though. If you go look at their minutes, they don't play a lot.
They just don't miss games. Bridges is complaining.
He gotta be playing too much. He's complaining.
Because he don't ever miss games. I'd be like, bro, I have not missed a game my whole career.
I need rest. Yeah, that's him.
Most people, he didn't play 800 games in a row. I don't know how many games he put.
He didn't play like 500 games in a row or something like that. Damn.
Like, you're wilding. Yeah, you some PCL.
Yeah, you're wilding. It's not Tibbs.
Take an injury. That's cool.
If you want to play 500 games in a row and your average minutes is 36 minutes a game, yeah, you probably are tired. You locked in your bag.
You straight. Don't sit down.
He's the one that had a record for most games played.

I ain't mad at him because that's what you're supposed to play.

They pay you to play, but he don't miss no games. He don't miss no games.

Yeah, because if you're going to start complaining, then just sit down,

because you can in this league.

He's never missed a game.

He has never missed a game.

Did you see Tim, though, in the interview?

He said, oh, we did not have that conversation.

He said he was playing with y'all.

What year is this, man? And why would Tibbs ever say sit down, bro? That ain't his job. Yeah, he trying to win.
You one of my best players, bro. Yeah, I don't care if you die.
I love that you want to hoop. Nacho said it.
Hey, Tibbs, I'm trying to win every game. Every game.
Just count. All you got to do is count over there.
Carry the one. Man, you could have counted the years.
Thanks. Is that hard to find when you're here? On my soul, I ain't gonna tell you how to do your job.
I mean, you had it. Just all you gotta look up.
Whatever you did, shout out to Mikel Bridges. Mikel Bridges' stats, and then we'll just count.
Where? Mikel Bridges'... In 2018.
All right, brother. There you go, Kings.
He ain't missed...

That boy ain't missed a game in seven years.

Yeah, that's crazy.

That's a lot of games, bro.

Yeah, bro.

Yeah, I bet you are tired.

That's too much basketball.

Then they sent him to Tibbs and said,

boy, you ain't gonna never get no wrestling.

But he only played 36 minutes.

What's his average?

What minutes he played?

That looked like it said 41.

He played what? What's his average? 32? That's it? 32 minutes a game? Bro, I wish. Definitely say 32.
Damn. I don't know, bro.
I wouldn't complain. He complained about 32? That nigga said put me down to 24.
32 is irregular. It's got to be more than that.
No, 24, you only playing a half. That's what I'm saying.
That might be his career minutes. 32 is regular.
He got to play like 37 in the game. Yeah.
We'll figure out. To be complaining, he got to be playing 38, 39.
I just think you can go to Tiz. Well, hey, man, just hand me, bro.
I ain't hand me. You can.
You know what I mean? Don't sit down, brother. But it's all good.
For sure, man. Shout out to them.
The Hawks beat the sleeve off the Hornets yesterday 134-102 Built an ass situation for sure Trae Young were crazy with 31-8 Dyson Daniels D.P.O.Y. candidate loading up 22 points 7 rebounds 7 assists 3 steals He's already won it bro 192 steals Passing Ricky Rubin with most steals since 09.
Damn. He won, man.
Yeah, he should win. When he passed, Chris Paul's like, yeah, it's his.
Yeah. Trae Young is so cold, bro.
I've been saying that. One of the coldest, bro.
They don't get his just due. They don't like him, bro.
Why they don't like him? Where do you rank him in the league in PGs? He top five. Okay.

They don't even do nothing. They just show up.
They don't got film, shoot around. Yeah, we 17 to 51.
I'm going to go ahead and get a nod to Trey. I ain't fucked up about it.
17-51. Because Trey didn't play with a lot of remixed teams, too.
That's why I give him the upper hand, too. The fucked up part is we give the Wizards a lot of hell.
Their record is not that far off from the Hornets. They ain't.
But they say nobody to talk about, though. They still got 15 wins.
I don't even know why we need to talk like that. I hate both of them niggas.
Hate them passionately. The Wizards ain't even trying.
They still got the same amount of wins as the Hornets. That's nasty work for sure.
The Hornets ain't trying either, bro. They having four, bro.

I'd like to see Lakers, Celtics, but I think it's going to be Denver Nuggets and the Celtics. I seen Stephen A.
said Cavs versus Lakers. That would be fire if Brown went there and beat the Cavs at the crib.
Oh, that would be fire. If LeBron James gets the NBA championship beating the Cleveland Cavaliers, bro, it's time for conversation, bro.
That would be hard. He already goes.
And he win it in Cleveland? Yeah. That'd be crazy, bro.
Cleveland! It's going for you. Nah, it's good.
If he didn't import Cleveland people like that, bro, that's crazy. Then, bro, I got to move back.
He done fucked that city up too many times. If he get another championship in Cleveland, bro, against them, that's crazy.
That'd be fire. Lakers versus Cavs would be fire.
I think it's going to be Thunder Celtics. Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
That'd be nice. Coast State might make the finals, bro.
Oh, okay. You cooking.
They might, bro. Right now, they at 40, right? They can't get to five without a crazy win streak and I'll see the Grizzlies losing that much.
That's not a bad take, man. I think they can get it done.
If they get to the 7th seed, I think they can beat the Rockets because they just, you know, in the experience. I don't know if they can beat the Nuggets because they got yolk.
Yeah, but they got Steph Curry, bro. That's Jimmy Butler.
Steph tired, though. That's why he rested, baby.
