Speaker 9 We're going to do some Ward Word of the Curbs, some trending videos. Sounds like we're going to talk about some Gamecocks and some cock-un-crock crimes.
So what do you two think about

Speaker 9 this little side host, that little side hustle that Don Staley's got going?

Speaker 11 A side hole? Don Staley?

Speaker 6 She is not a side hole, bro. Miss Don Staley is not a side hole.
She called her a side hole. That's disrespectful.

Speaker 6 That's disrespectful.

Speaker 11 Is she bowling right there?

Speaker 6 It looks like she's playing Cornhole.

Speaker 10 Cornhole.

Speaker 11 She's like in the Cornhole Championships. Cornhole.

Speaker 6 Yeah, she's doing side quests. She's out there.
Did she win? Do we know the results of this? Or what's happening here? Well, that's the one she hit.

Speaker 11 Listen, listen, Don Staley maybe should stop playing Cornholio if she wants to cement her legacy.

Speaker 11 We got Cara Lawson right now taking fucking Don Staley's spot and becoming the head coach of Team USA Women's Basketball as of 60 minutes ago. Putting her in rarefied air.

Speaker 11 We can't talk about about Don Staley on her little side quests. You know what Cara Lawson has? No side quests.
One focus. Women's hoops.

Speaker 11 No side.

Speaker 11 Cara has no outside activities that she's interested in doing. Okay?

Speaker 9 That came out angrier than I thought. That was more rageful than I thought.

Speaker 10 Listen.

Speaker 10 Listen, Courtney Hoyle.

Speaker 6 Look, Carol Lawson, she got one of the best ponytails. Her shit wavy as hell.
Her shit be wavy. Salute to Carol Lawson.

Speaker 11 She has the literally, she literally has the waves

Speaker 11 in the slick back.

Speaker 6 But see, this is what you don't realize, too, though, about Don.

Speaker 6 Right now, she can do that on the weekend because she's here in America. Because guess what she's doing during the week? Recruiting.

Speaker 6 She probably had a recruit that she could see in that city, and they said, hey, come bowl with us, Don.

Speaker 11 So Corncoin is just a tax write-off.

Speaker 11 I'm sure you've both heard about the Enhanced Games.

Speaker 9 Am I correct?

Speaker 11 Nope.

Speaker 9 so the enhanced games are new games where like the olympics where all steroids are allowed thoughts I think steroids should be allowed always

Speaker 11 I think steroids should never be

Speaker 11 like taken out of of anything if it was destigmatized Juju would be on the steroid right now

Speaker 6 Get the f ⁇ hell nah, I wouldn't be on no damn steroids. I like this the steroid Olympics salute.
It's way different though.

Speaker 6 I feel like world record should be every damn trial, every heat, damn near, right?

Speaker 11 I've changed my mind. The caption has made me change my mind.

Speaker 6 Hold on, what does it say?

Speaker 11 It says, backed by high-profile investors like Donald Trump Jr. and

Speaker 11 Peter Thiel, I already know what time it is. These people, they're turning them into super soldiers.

Speaker 11 What it is is not even what they're saying. This is lies.
They're turning them into super soldiers, and they're going to turn them into the National Guard, and they're going to take over D.C.

Speaker 11 That's what they're going to do. But they're like literally roided up, and they're also Olympians.
It's a no-frame.

Speaker 9 This is pre- and post-the enhanced game. This guy.

Speaker 6 Oh, that's the same. That's the same joke.

Speaker 10 Hey, New.

Speaker 11 Yeah, he looks like.

Speaker 9 I mean, he is not all right, this guy. He's not.

Speaker 11 He's set for launch in Las Vegas. I'm surprised they're not doing it on the White House lawn.

Speaker 6 Bruh, fast as hell in a swimming, probably. Bruh, imagine if you're trying to run for somebody and you turn around and he follow me and you went in the water.

Speaker 11 Listen,

Speaker 11 he's probably got a gun now attached to his arm too.

Speaker 6 This is super yeah this Olympic is gonna be crazy. You just gotta keep your eyes on all the participants.

Speaker 11 That's gotta be so hard to find a t-shirt. Oh my god.

Speaker 9 That's like those traps. I've never seen anything like that.

Speaker 11 No, and those lats, those lats come off his pec further than his pecs.

Speaker 6 Respectfully, his trap game is stifled by, I don't see, I don't think y'all really notice how long this brother neck is.

Speaker 10 His neck is super long.

Speaker 10 Listen.

Speaker 9 He needs a bra for his back.

Speaker 10 I don't give a damn like a hidden with no time to kill.

Speaker 11 I've been feeling like meant these broken wings.

Speaker 11 So Atlanta can't fly again.

Speaker 11 So the dream can't fly again.

Speaker 11 I see you got the black glasses on.

Speaker 11 We're now not even rocking the WNBA stuff anymore. We're going right to unrivaled, Juju.

Speaker 11 Would you like to say anything?

Speaker 6 Ouch.

Speaker 11 Ouch.

Speaker 6 I don't have anything. I'm so hurt right now.
Like, everything about it hurts.

Speaker 6 My back hurts. My positivity hurts.

Speaker 6 My self-esteem hurts. It's just hurt.

Speaker 11 Does it hurt more based on how the end of the game went with Ryan?

Speaker 6 I mean, it just hurts because we didn't score as much points as they scored. That's the automatic.

Speaker 11 That's it. That's the end.

Speaker 6 Bruh. Oh my God.
The referees,

Speaker 6 24 free throws to 11 free throws.

Speaker 6 And that number got like closer as the game was ending. The referees was on, they wasn't calling travel.
They wasn't calling nothing. They don't give a damn about nothing except the damn tide.

Speaker 6 Look at them. Look at them.

Speaker 6 Oh my God. Look, by the time Lexi Ho passed that ball, I was already outside of the arena.

Speaker 10 No, you were not.

Speaker 11 No,

Speaker 11 you were not.

Speaker 6 Bruh, this shit hurts so bad.

Speaker 6 It hurts so bad.

Speaker 6 Oh, my God. There's no way in the world it's supposed to beat us.

Speaker 6 But look, man, great season. Salute to big Carl.
Salute to Big Al.

Speaker 6 Salute to Big Ryan.

Speaker 6 We're going to be back next year, man.

Speaker 11 Salute to Big B G

Speaker 6 Salute to Big B Jesse. Salute to Pow Powell.

Speaker 6 Salute to Nia

Speaker 6 Coffee. Salute to everybody on the bank.

Speaker 11 Salute to Big Al

Speaker 6 Shatori, Walker, Kimbrough.

Speaker 10 Oh, all of them.

Speaker 11 We're going deep into the bench. We're going deep.

Speaker 6 Exactly.

Speaker 6 Everybody, man.

Speaker 6 Salute. Maya Caldwell.
Maya Caldwell, I see you. Exactly.
That's why I got it on today.

Speaker 6 It's unrivaled season now.

Speaker 11 He's not watching any more WNBA games, but he will provide the analysis.

Speaker 11 I called the Indiana Fever cockroaches, and people got very upset with me, so I'm going to call them the Indiana Fury, aka the Tyson Fury of the WNBA. You can't knock them down.

Speaker 11 If you knock them down, you think they're dead. They just get right back up, somehow winning the fight.
Does it make you feel better, Jew, that they ended up doing the same thing to the Aces?

Speaker 6 It does not. I'm not a hater.

Speaker 6 I don't operate like that.

Speaker 6 It hurts me just enough to see. Oh, no.

Speaker 6 Look at her. She was.
Look at it. Salute to the Ariel Powers X Dream.
Look, that's what we can talk about right there. Kelsey Mitchell.

Speaker 6 There should be a separate award in the WNBA for dog. Like, you know how the UFC got the BMF trophy?

Speaker 6 It should be a BMF trophy in the WNBA. And Kelsey Mitchell is going to win that every single year, bruh.
Cause she got nothing but dogging her. Big shot after big shot.
Crossover after.

Speaker 11 Oh my God, did they say ATL? What?

Speaker 10 Oh, my God.

Speaker 11 That's disrespect.

Speaker 9 But isn't it from because they're from ATL? Am I wrong on that?

Speaker 6 Or are they wrong? Yes, you're wrong, Miss Rebecca.

Speaker 11 The fever are from Indiana. ATL.

Speaker 9 No, I know, but aren't those players from ATL?

Speaker 10 You think they just shit right on them? Yes, they shit

Speaker 11 on them.

Speaker 6 Time out.

Speaker 6 Harassment. This is harassment.

Speaker 6 Sorry, Salt. HR,

Speaker 6 help me. Oh, man.

Speaker 6 Y'all gonna jump me? Miss Rebecca, come in with that question. I thought this was from Atlanta with the fever jerseys on.
I thought these were from Atlanta.

Speaker 6 They just told you me to tell me it just going to shit on them like this.

Speaker 6 Yes, Miss Rebecca. They're shit on us just like that.

Speaker 11 They even, they did the scooper,

Speaker 11 the we eat in Atlanta. It's chicken wings and magic city.

Speaker 6 That's not that true. See, I got a school, y'all.
This is my partners, y'all. This is the I'm so ATL.

Speaker 6 Let's get in there. I'm so ATL.
They're doing the I'm So ATL, not the Ezekiel Elliott.

Speaker 11 Okay, I'm so ATL.

Speaker 6 Two Americas, people.

Speaker 11 Two Americas. Still.

Speaker 11 I have a question. I hate to spin this in the negative.

Speaker 11 But because that's what I do, I think that's what I'm trying to do. Is to point out what's wrong versus pointing out what's right.

Speaker 6 Ain't that a bad I know?

Speaker 11 I'm not right. I don't know.
There's something sick in the head.

Speaker 11 Are the ACEs guards?

Speaker 11 What's the right word? Spry.

Speaker 10 Washed?

Speaker 11 Are they washed?

Speaker 11 Are they... Are they cooked?

Speaker 6 Believe that when I said

Speaker 10 spry?

Speaker 11 Are they are there ligaments? How are there...

Speaker 11 Are there quick twitches not twitching? Because I felt like Asia had to do a lot of cleaning up on aisle 9 on the back side because they were getting barbecued chicken around the perimeter.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I mean, look, I think that it was a very emotional day in Las Vegas. People was up early.

Speaker 6 They was doing more photo shoots than they usually do. So I feel like everybody's routine was just off in Vegas.
I'm going to give them a mother game for that game one because, wow.

Speaker 10 Wow.

Speaker 11 There was some Gamecock on Gamecock crime.

Speaker 11 Cock on cock crime.

Speaker 10 Okay, here we go.

Speaker 6 Trista, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 11 Cock-on-cock crime, the sword fight.

Speaker 11 We're calling cock-on-cock crime the sword fight. So we had Aaliyah Boston

Speaker 11 making life absolutely brutal for Asia Wilson, fouling the shit out of her really a lot.

Speaker 10 Cock on cock.

Speaker 11 Cock-on-cock. You know what I mean? The cock fight.

Speaker 11 Not roosters.

Speaker 11 So

Speaker 11 the question, though, I have is, is Aaliyah Boston

Speaker 11 to you the most

Speaker 11 like a different off the court than she is on the court player?

Speaker 6 I think so. Because off the court, she is the most Disney princess.
She was so well spoken, so everything, nice. takes every photo with the kids, sign your book.

Speaker 6 She would probably Christian your baby on the court, though. Take these bows.

Speaker 11 She really is a dirty player a little bit on the court

Speaker 11 She well, I don't even know if dirty is the right word. She just just gives you a f ⁇ you know what I mean and and really scrapes claws grabs you wraps you

Speaker 11 elbow swings you rap like grabs you around the waist puts the booty up puts the booty into it

Speaker 6 doesn't she doesn't feel like it was like I know if she I don't know what she doing in that.

Speaker 10 What did you see?

Speaker 11 What did you see in that matchup? Was it, because it felt like she was the reason that Asia was frustrated early.

Speaker 6 Yeah, she was the reason she was frustrated. It was a lot.
I think, like I say, bro, that day is so emotional for a four-time WNBA MVP that I don't even give it.

Speaker 11 I don't even know she was getting the award three days ago.

Speaker 6 I understand that, but still, it's a lot.

Speaker 6 I'm just going to throw her bail money to the business. Listen,

Speaker 11 I was her on Friday when they gave me the award.

Speaker 10 Stop.

Speaker 11 Forget about it. Forget about it.
Don't give me this award right now until some days are off.

Speaker 11 I don't want to know on a Friday, and then you're going to give me the award on a Sunday, and then the fever are going to come up in our house and make our life a living hell.

Speaker 11 I feel like that's out of pocket.

Speaker 6 That is very out of pocket, but at the same time,

Speaker 6 we got to give some credit to the fever because oh my god yeah they continue to just continue it's like every time you think all right here we go here's the wash that's supposed to happen let's see it they come out kelsey mitchell i don't understand what in the hell

Speaker 6 like whatever award we got to give kelsey mitchell this makes

Speaker 11 something she needs we need yeah we need to make an award up for her she doesn't didn't she hold on

Speaker 11 didn't she lead the league in scoring?

Speaker 6 I'm pretty sure she did. I mean, even unless Asia was up there.

Speaker 11 Yeah, she did. No, she led the league in scoring at 26 a game.
Bruh.

Speaker 10 She James Martin.

Speaker 6 We can't let a performance like that go without reward from this year because whenever every single person stepped out or got hurt on their team, she stepped in and helped them with that specific thing.

Speaker 6 You feel me? Like when Caitlin got her, oh, we need more distribution. Distribution.
That's it. Distribution.

Speaker 10 Distribution.

Speaker 6 Distribution. We need more distribution.
Damn it. Guess what? She got something.

Speaker 11 That's something that somebody at George would say, this is a distribution. Yeah, we got some distribution.

Speaker 6 Hey, Kelsey Mitchell was distributing that guy all year, bro.

Speaker 6 And then we need scoring. Guess what?

Speaker 6 The wettest, purest jumper I have seen in the WNBA. Her shot just go like, it's just so pretty, bro.

Speaker 11 She puts him on skates. Like, she got like the back, like behind the back.

Speaker 10 Ah, man.

Speaker 11 Jab into the midi, pull-up right in your dome piece.

Speaker 11 It's a wrap. She hit that one from the elbow early on in the game, and I said, oh, it's going to be a long night for these aces guards.
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 6 When she stepped back from the three, she'll give a ha, and step back and steal in your mouth. And that

Speaker 6 has so much arch on it. It did.

Speaker 10 They just did all those draws.

Speaker 6 Like, scrap out.

Speaker 6 You feel me?

Speaker 11 How about, okay, so we know Kelsey Mitchell's player of the game. She's the best player on the floor that day.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Some unsung heroes.

Speaker 11 Number one.

Speaker 11 Natasha Howard, I don't think is being discussed for how she's bringing the ball up in transition as a big. Her handles are pretty nasty.
She's getting timely rebounds.

Speaker 11 She's bodying other people out of the paint, clearing the way for Kelsey Mitchell to have an open lane. She's making life hell on Asia.

Speaker 11 Not as much as Aaliyah Boston, but she's a player that people thought was done.

Speaker 11 And not only was she not done, she took it to a whole new level and I think is showing some versatility.

Speaker 11 We talk about like when the when the fever needs something, someone steps in to deliver the hole that was missing. They just boop, give you that.
That's her.

Speaker 6 Yeah, speaking of when the delivering in

Speaker 6 the referees deliver a $200 fine to Caitlin Carr

Speaker 6 because she said the refs couldn't stop us on social media.

Speaker 11 Is that fine worthy?

Speaker 6 It's not. And stop finding these folks $200, man.

Speaker 6 It's embarrassing. You embarrassing us.
Like, we're trying to keep this shit going to playoffs. Y'all pop up with a $200 fine.
Stop. Don't announce that.
Y'all just say, hey, man, we don't

Speaker 11 do not do not make the WMBA look like a Mickey Mini mouse league. $200 fines make it seem like everybody's broke.

Speaker 6 Come on, man. I would have been like, look,

Speaker 6 I just find Caitlin Clark. You do not want to know how much I find her.
Trust me, I find

Speaker 10 Oscar.

Speaker 11 Just know it was a lot.

Speaker 6 So stop talking about the referees. I don't give a damn.
Nah, they'd be like, yeah, we just find Caitlin two hunch. Yeah, two big ones.

Speaker 10 You hear what Caitlin is saying?

Speaker 11 She can come back on social media and say more shit about the reference. Exactly.

Speaker 6 Oh, that's all y'all. That's all y'all charging for referees.

Speaker 11 That's how much I tip my waiter. 200 bucks on a night-to-night basis.
Caitlin Clark's got cheese. She's got bread.
She doesn't care about your little $200 raggedy ass fine.

Speaker 6 Exactly. Like that LeBron meme.
How about this? Here go another one.

Speaker 6 Facts. Come on.
I just shoot them folks a banjo and be like, all right, I'm finna say what I want to say this week. How about that?

Speaker 11 What'd you think about Sophie Cunningham's comments?

Speaker 10 Man.

Speaker 6 Okay, so what's Sophie say? The league is so mad that we won because we are literally not supposed to be here at all. And that just fuels our fire even more.

Speaker 6 Girl,

Speaker 6 salute to my sister Sophie. But the league is happy as hell y'all won.

Speaker 6 Are you serious?

Speaker 6 It's the exact opposite. Ain't nobody mad y'all won.
Only people mad y'all won is Atlanta fans.

Speaker 11 You know what he's like, oh my God, we really wanted Atlanta.

Speaker 11 We really wanted it. We really wanted to have our...
You know what?

Speaker 11 Talk about a player who's just slept on and disrespected. It's Big Al.
Big Al should have won most improved.

Speaker 11 Big Al is consistently left off a three-point percentage and three-point scoring lists, guard lists. Like, she's one of the nastiest in the game.

Speaker 11 She's consistently disrespected by those who are making said lists. And so you think that the league was like, oh, we need more Alicia Gray.
You know what?

Speaker 11 We need more goggles, more players that don't get, come on,

Speaker 11 even just this fact that we see Caitlin Clark with her little Stranger Things fever t-shirt on and her big ass.

Speaker 6 She's black Air Force Ones, brushes with the black Air Forces. I'm like, damn, Caitlin, don't do it like that.

Speaker 11 Is her fashion sense changing?

Speaker 6 Her fashion sense, I feel like sis being fresh, like for real, for real. It's just a

Speaker 6 no, no. I feel like she has stylists that sometimes miss the mark.

Speaker 6 I feel like if you leave it up to a lot of most WMBA players to just dress themselves and come out the house, they'll most likely land there.

Speaker 6 Mostly sisters got swag, but at the same time, once you sign that deal with

Speaker 6 a Filipino who's going to style you in the film, Filipino. Now he got you out here wearing the sweatpants with some jean shorts painted on the front.

Speaker 11 Oh my God, not Filipino.

Speaker 11 Isn't she with she styled for with Prada Prada as well, which they've got some stuff and Prada.

Speaker 11 Prada, you could be dressed to the nines in Prada, which you're working, but you could also look like you're a 47-year-old accountant ready for her next job interview.

Speaker 10 So there's different levels to this.

Speaker 11 Come on, she was doing her Murphy Brown.

Speaker 6 Murphy Brown swag. I see sis.
Come on.

Speaker 11 By the way, Sophie Cunningham, speaking of Sophie Cunningham, she's got style too. She finds a way to make a baseball cap look good.

Speaker 6 I mean, hey, salute to Sophie. She also found a way to argue with the cops in mid-court during the game.

Speaker 6 She's going crazy, man. Salute to Sophie.
Salute to them fever. Also, two quick sidebar.

Speaker 6 It's still not ideal that we got to watch these WNBA playoff semifinal games during the NFL Sunday. What the hell is this? Bruh, Miss Rebecca, do you got the picture I sent of you, sent to you?

Speaker 6 I sent Miss Rebecca a picture of what my Sunday looks like because I'm not gonna not watch what I'm paying for. I love the NFL.
We shouldn't have to make people make choices.

Speaker 6 I got so many damn screens over here, and I just got barely enough. So I imagine the random person at the house, they ain't got time for all these screens.

Speaker 6 Stop making us choose between our favorite sports football team and the WNBA. Guess what? There's no games tonight.
We could have had a game tonight on Monday night. Monday, wins.

Speaker 11 I think there is a game tonight. The Ravens play the Lions.

Speaker 6 I'm saying, but I would rather have one game to go against as far as the

Speaker 6 WNBA.

Speaker 11 You do the multi-box. You could do the cross-border multi-box and have them both on.

Speaker 6 Exactly, but what I'm saying is there's no WNBA games tonight. No, there's not.
So what I'm saying is, why not just postpone that day? Bam. Monday, Wednesday.
Bam.

Speaker 6 Look at this. Why the hell do I have to watch the Aces like this?

Speaker 6 In the bottom right corner, you see the Aces.

Speaker 6 I do not know why I had Bengals Vikings on the big TV.

Speaker 6 I promise to God it's I thought it was finna be Jamar Chase versus Justin Gentiles it didn't end up being that but look what I got to deal with and this is a loyal this is a loyal WNBA member fan what community come on bro let's do ourselves a favor nobody loves the WNBA more than Juju and yet he had to put it on the MacBook air come on man

Speaker 11 What we doing? Bad choice though, Vikings, Bengals over aces.

Speaker 11 Bad choice was a reporter, Juju, asking Sabrina Yanescu and Brianna Stewart if Sandy Brandello, their head coach, should be fired.

Speaker 6 Bruh, that was the worst choice ever. Ms.
Rebecca, you got that video?

Speaker 10 What the f?

Speaker 11 They said, hey, people be asking, the streets are talking, and the streets are saying,

Speaker 11 how come you think Sandy Brandello, your head coach, should be fired?

Speaker 11 And Brianna looks at her like,

Speaker 11 what

Speaker 10 the f

Speaker 11 you crazy and then the reporter's like I'm not saying it but like I she pulled the Donald Trump I'm not saying it but like other people are saying it's like who's saying it who's saying it whenever whenever somebody say people are saying it tell them to tell you the people yeah who are those people exactly because you you are saying it you're stirring the pop right you are people ma'am the streets are talking and they're saying your coach should be fired

Speaker 11 like off of an a championship after some of the most brutal string of injuries you've ever had. You know, who did get fired, though? We got to talk about storm head coach Noel Quinn getting fired.

Speaker 11 What you think about that?

Speaker 6 I mean, maybe I'm missing something. I know that the storm were having a rough couple of years a couple years ago.
I know it was rough, but I feel like this year.

Speaker 11 They turned the corner.

Speaker 6 Right, because you don't just have the mind to sign Erica Wheeler and know bruh, you don't really like to me, we know the streets know Erica Wheeler is a dog,

Speaker 6 but for a coach to know that and give Erica Wheeler such a big role on that squad on that squad that was seconds away from advancing

Speaker 6 Right, come on man, put that pairing well with Skylar the milk diggins like I think that

Speaker 6 she did phenomenal to me NECA aging aging superstar, still giving us what she needs. Ezzy, giving us the rebounds, blocks all year long.
B.

Speaker 6 Sykes came over and transitioned well into a great storm player. Gabby Williams stepped up in the play.
I don't see what happened there. Maybe it's above my pay grade.

Speaker 6 I'm not G14. Right.
I'm not G14 classified, but I think it's a bad move by the Seattle Storm to get rid of Sis.

Speaker 11 I'm so conflicted.

Speaker 6 yeah

Speaker 11 I'm conflicted because I like Noel Quinn I think it's I think it's fed up that there's not really any black female coaches in the W when that's primarily what the W is made up of so that's f rough was she the last one I think that's it because they fired teaspoon yep I think this is it I think that's it damn bruh

Speaker 11 I think that's it that's that's a whole nother topic for a whole nother day right there so but anyway what I will what I will say is that we talked about how the Storm were underperforming based on the roster that they had.

Speaker 11 And so, yes, you use Erica Wheeler in a way that's very effective, but there were a lot of games that this team just didn't come out ready to play, and they played down to their competition.

Speaker 11 Now, I don't know about these things. I don't know if that's a player, cohesive, individual thing, or you can put that on Noel because having a bad game plan.

Speaker 11 But we know at the end of games, they've melted into the sun. That's a slight coaching thing.

Speaker 11 But I think

Speaker 11 they also performed great against the aces and probably should have won that series.

Speaker 11 But it did take Skylar Diggins going crazy. And that offense is brutal.
That offense really gets run like

Speaker 11 a stick in the mud. I don't know what is going on with it.
So

Speaker 11 I just feel so conflicted.

Speaker 6 Bruh, I'm talking about if Erica Wheeler hits a mid-range free throw line

Speaker 6 jumper,

Speaker 6 we're not having this conversation today. Like, Noelle Quinn would be coaching her team in the seminar.

Speaker 11 If Erica Wheeler didn't hit the mid-range jumper at the end of the game, one of the last games of the season, we are having this conversation two weeks ago.

Speaker 6 Look, exactly. I guess trust me.
Long story short, salute to Erica Wheeler.

Speaker 11 Long story short, Erica Wheeler, now promoted coach of the Seattle store.

Speaker 6 Look, man,

Speaker 6 she got it going on.

Speaker 6 It's going to be a bidding one for her next year, neither here nor there. Moving on.
New York Liberty.

Speaker 6 The f ⁇ out of here.

Speaker 6 Man, John Quill Jones. John Quayle Jones had the worst series that I have seen her have ever.
And I love John Quayle.

Speaker 6 Come on, man.

Speaker 6 You got to love John Quayle. But it was a rough series to watch.
I don't know what was going on with John Quayle this series.

Speaker 10 I know what was going on.

Speaker 11 John Quayle probably thought, listen, it's just not our year.

Speaker 11 We've had issues.

Speaker 11 You know, you're about to play the Lynx,

Speaker 11 right? You know what it is.

Speaker 11 Brianna Stewart's got a

Speaker 11 no, listen. Brianna Stewart's got a bionic knee attachment on her knee to take away the pain from whatever sprains, whatever ligament is going on.

Speaker 11 Sabrina has been injured on and off all year, and she's having a brutal series. You've got John Quell that's been dealing with injuries as well.

Speaker 11 This team already, you already know Brianna's not right. She's doing everything she can for you.

Speaker 11 And like, shout out to Brianna Stewart, who's fucking phenomenal in the fourth quarter, the only Liberty player to score.

Speaker 11 But now you're about to go on a five-game series with the Lynx you know you're now beating the Lynx

Speaker 11 you know that this is a this is a wrap for you Brianna's probably

Speaker 11 operating at 50%

Speaker 11 health and the pain level is gonna be immense

Speaker 11 I just think John Quill wasn't mentally ready to go to the level that she went in the finals where she was finals MVP, especially considering they've been up and down and up and down and up and down all year.

Speaker 6 Don't nobody from the Liberty look at the damn links and be like, oh yeah, we can't beat them. Are you crazy?

Speaker 6 Well, they probably, if you ask them today, they probably be like, yeah, we can beat them still. We lost to them.
That is not how they operate. I think something happened in Alyssa Thomas land.

Speaker 6 I feel like something happened in Satu Sabali defense mechanism.

Speaker 11 I love you. I love you.
You're like the opposite of me. Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 11 That's why people like you more than they like me.

Speaker 10 Come on.

Speaker 6 Everybody likes me, bro.

Speaker 11 Everybody likes you, bro. You're like, oh man, Satu and Alyssa, they just took it to another level.
And I'm like, nah, John Quill kind of blew it. You know what I mean? Sabrina kind of blew it.

Speaker 11 They did. They blew it.
If we were W, if we were male

Speaker 11 NBA commentators, we would be like, see, the thing about John Quill Jones is,

Speaker 11 is you can't be the finals MVP and go Houdini the next playoff time you get in there. That's what we can't do.
This is why people thought John Quel was cooked when she came out of Connecticut.

Speaker 11 That's what they would be saying.

Speaker 11 And if you were an NBA commentator, you would be like, nah, the thing is, Alyssa Thomas deserves her lack of shoulders and her lack of labrums. She needs more respect.

Speaker 6 You know what I will say, though? John Quel should be held accountable for that tantric she threw at the free throw on the floor. What the hell was that, John Quill? Come on now.

Speaker 6 You know I messed with you, but come on now. I mess with all of them.

Speaker 11 Come on. I love them all, but they know that they did not perform.
And even Sabrina said, we didn't give our fans what we should have given them. Yeah.
You know what? You're going to make me better.

Speaker 11 You're going to make me better. You're going to make, I just want to do this, and you just want to do this.
That's the difference. That's the promo.
That's the promo.

Speaker 11 I just want to to do this, and Juju just wants to do this

Speaker 6 exactly. I want to raise the roof, man.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I wanted the damn liberty to beat this Phoenix Mercury for Tasha Cloud, man.

Speaker 6 Nevertheless, sis still balling. Sis still gonna be balling next year.
So, all the haters, step off.

Speaker 11 Before we wrap Juju, I think the Lynx are the most dominant team of the WNBA all year. They show it again.
Their fourth quarter, their fourth quarter was ridiculous.

Speaker 11 And I think the thing that was lovely was you got 42 first half point paints from the Mercury, which is bad, really bad. Cheryl Reeve went in there and said, grab your ankles.

Speaker 11 I'm giving everybody whoopings.

Speaker 11 I've got the switch out. And then they held him to only 10 points in the paint in the second half.
They end up going on a crazy run, making this thing not even close.

Speaker 11 Courtney Williams continues to be my favorite guard in the league. She had five steals.

Speaker 11 She was the leading scorer for the Lynx.

Speaker 11 Not only that, did she have

Speaker 11 multiple moments where she passed up her own shot to get our girl Bridget Carlton multiple, one deep three, one cutting layup, which really, I think, iced and sealed the game.

Speaker 11 When you're on a heater, that's super hard to do, like mentally, because you're like, nah, I got this. And you know, Court likes to shoot it now.
So, Lynx, what'd you think about them?

Speaker 11 It's a wrap for the rest of the league.

Speaker 6 Look, I feel like when Courtney playing like that, it's raps. It's a raptual.
Like you say, she passed it to the bridge. Guess what? The bridge gonna knock it down no matter what.

Speaker 6 Damn near nine out of ten times, the bridge gonna knock it down. Like, I ain't never seen a more reliable

Speaker 6 supporting cast, no matter who's got it going, where this fee. She got it going, guess what she can always do? Pass to Courtney, mid-range, in your mouth.
Get what she can also do.

Speaker 6 Behind the back, Kayla McBride,

Speaker 6 released so fast, you don't even get a chance to get over there before it's in the nets. Though you can get it about the nets if you want it.

Speaker 6 And guess what? Post-moves. Jessica Shepard stepped up this year in a way that people may not have expected, but I know that.

Speaker 6 In that, on the defensive end of the ball, she's so reliable alongside the defensive player of the year, the co-defensive player of the year, Atlanta Smith. Come on, man.

Speaker 6 It's like that's what separates

Speaker 6 the links from the squad, the rest of the whole WNBA to me. Because no matter who is having a great night, they all so unselfish when it comes to that.

Speaker 6 Bruh, they're going to let them have that great night and just be ready when you need them. Even sometimes, Fiji is be like, bruh, like you said yesterday, Courtney, you got us today.

Speaker 6 If you need me, you know, it's dog food in this post.

Speaker 6 It's Scooby snacks in this post if you need me.

Speaker 6 You feel me? So, yeah, I definitely agree. Minnesota Lynx looking like them.

Speaker 11 Yeah, and then yeah, I think that that's a good point. That Alyssa Thomas matchup with Fi, where Alyssa Thomas looks absolutely

Speaker 11 psychotic, smiling from ear to ear that way. Like when she's getting deed up by Fi, going face up on her, and Fee's bodying her, she's smiling.
I'm like, what is A.T. about to do next?

Speaker 11 So yeah, the Lynx,

Speaker 11 they're so hard to guard because they've got great ball movement.

Speaker 11 They're a great defensive team.

Speaker 11 Let's not even count the fact. We didn't even count the fact that Fee was a defensive player of the year last year.

Speaker 11 So you've got the back-to-back team with back-to-back DPOYs and the best offense in the league with multiple players who can shoot in your eyeball from deep.

Speaker 11 So deep they'll put your ass to sleep. And reliable.
So yeah, I mean, it looks like Minnesota is finally going to get their revenge.

Speaker 6 Speaking of revenge, Nas Hillman got the last laugh in that Sixth Man of the Year race. Salute to my dog, six man of the year, even though we would rather have the semifinal birth.

Speaker 6 Neither here nor there, it hurts.

Speaker 11 Shout out to Nas, you deserve it.

Speaker 11 All right, see you later. It's been all the time that we have for the alley oop.
I allied, he ooped. He allied, I ooped, and then Rebecca, multiple oops.

Speaker 11 Stupid oops, dumb oops.

Speaker 10 Incredible how the fuck did you get there?

Speaker 11 Oops. I did it again.

Speaker 6 So full of oops, maybe.
