All God damn money.

Yeah.

Post black.

Here's your motion and against in store.

On this show, we got a lot to discuss.

Here's what's cracking in Gill's arena today.

The Lakers are in the midst of a six game winning streak while playing their best basketball

of the season.

Purple and gold proving.

They're for real.

Rockets are four and five in their last nine games.

And constant double teams have KD considering becoming a corner boy.

Does Houston have a problem?

And we'll go back to the LeBron picture.

Let me go back to the LeBron.

You know, he been golfing so much.

Look at his arms.

Like, you know, it's just your arms.

And your arms.

Bottom half dark.

No, no, no.

Please.

And NBA on the verge of adding expansion teams in Seattle and Las Vegas.

But it's just a good or bad move for the league before we get into all that.

So we're going to start this show in the new studio by putting the word out.

The Lakers are back up, baby.

Purple and gold took their five-game winning streak to Houston Monday to face the Rockets in their first meeting since Christmas day,

holding a slim half-game lead over Houston for the third spot in the West,

and what has the potential to be a playoff preview.

Lakers needed a window to avoid letting the Rockets own the tiebreaker in their season series.

Houston was without Alperin Shandgoon for the second straight game, as he deals with lower back issue.

Both offenses look nasty for most of the game, but the Purple and gold did what was needed to get the dub.

Luke led the Lakers with 36.6 rebounds, 4 assists, going 14 to 27 from the field.

His fifth straight 30-point game, 50 second in the Lakers uniform.

LeBron added 18, 5, and 5.

Austin Reeves had 15 in a tough shooting night for the man known as Limon Daddy.

Lakers overcame a double-digit second had deficit, holding the Rockets to a season low time, 12 points in the fourth quarter,

into the game with a 15-2 run after a seven-minute scoring drought.

So after scoring 16 points in the first half, Kevin Durant had just two points in garbage time in the second half,

along with six turnovers.

Lakers got their sixth straight win.

Nine in one in their last ten games in that stretch.

They beaten the mixed wolves, nuggets and Rockets.

They're also a league-leading 19 and six in clutch games this season.

You know, previously you said you were not watching the Lakers,

but what are your biggest takeaways from the Lakers six-game winning streak?

First of all, you disrespect when you say we back.

We're back, dude.

We've never been down.

We've never left.

We've never left.

We've never left.

You said you wasn't watching them.

That's because I won't watch.

Don't mean we was down.

I didn't like our trade or the non-trade.

We were in the Western game.

We were six, huh?

We was at the six-buck.

But that was the worst time for a 456.

We was always right there, so we've been there.

And we're showing you what the playoff team looks like.

You know, you would think that the Lakers was in 9th or 10th

the way they talk about our team like this, right?

That's what the team is.

That's what the team is.

You know.

Should A.R. star LeBron, this, go to the corner, who this?

This is the record when they lose it and the winning it.

Like, listen, if y'all don't want to talk about O.K.C.

and the spurs every day, because nobody's going to watch.

Don't disrespect the Lakers like this.

Hmm.

Six what?

Six enough?

Six enough?

What's those teams again?

That's some good stuff.

Next Nuggets.

Nuggets?

Next Nuggets Rockets?

Next Nuggets Rockets?

Bulls, but no.

You know, it's just that next Nuggets Rockets.

Yeah.

And so like, you know, playoff's just coming.

And we look like we got our playoff swag.

You know, slow that game down,

putting LeBron in a corner.

You know, no matter where you go.

You can go to corner, you can go half.

It's cool.

It's cool.

Okay.

Six and no.

Six.

Oh.

Swaggy.

Biggest take away from the Lakers.

Six game winner streak.

Oh, man.

I love that.

I love to see people who have set roles.

You know, no matter what kind of the star power at all.

You know, seeing LeBron become a part of the corner boy life is.

You know, it's good to see.

Because it happens to the best of us.

And once you accept the role, you prosper.

So that's why I feel like the Lakers are on a six game winner streak.

It's starting to understand the roles of where they belong out there.

And as long as that happens, I think we could go for it.

So, Brian and Mr. Regame came back and played the last three games wins over the Bulls and Nuggets.

Yeah.

And this Rockets game Monday.

Let's shift over to you, Mr. B.

Card Carry Country Club member hosting one-on-one country club phase.

What's your reaction to the Lakers?

Six game winning streak?

Well, I said they had to hit the panic button.

And they've been doing that since.

You know, AR last six games that was in 25.

So he is showing that he can be a second option.

When Brian is shooting less than 15 shots, they're six and one.

And Aidan and Smart, you know, they've been stepping it up on both sides of the floor.

So right now, they're looking good.

And Lucas taking this game to another level right now.

You know, he's been going crazy.

I know they had a little stretch where they were down, but their defense kept them in.

And, you know, as long as they are, as the number two option, the Lakers are going to be out.

Over there.

Okay.

Let's shift over to this side.

Kenya and Nuggets have previously been burping the baby that is the Los Angeles Lakers.

This one game.

Multiple games this season.

This one.

On the tiebreaker.

Not a playoff series.

But over time.

So you could have started this.

See, if you would have started the question like you asked everybody else.

I don't know.

I was just getting into that.

I would just delete them.

See, but you didn't ruin it though.

Biggest takeaways.

See, see, see, see.

Now, if you were to win with that one instead of bringing the Nuggets up in this conversation,

just won the win though.

But not a playoff series.

So I still don't think you could beat them in the playoff series.

He had a triple dough too.

So he burped.

Yeah, he did.

Just in burped.

Yeah.

It was burped, man.

He just packed like a motherfucker.

Yeah.

We not just packed.

Just packed.

Just packed.

I need some more.

Big one forward.

Big need some more.

So I dig it.

We wasn't sleeping.

I dig it.

But this stuff.

We don't like it previously in this season.

You'd go 9 and 1 in 10 games doing the stretch of the season where it wasn't looking as bright

about a month ago.

I'm wearing this.

Promising.

Yeah, 9 and 1.

I mean, in 10 games.

Six and 0 doing the stretch.

So, hey, cool.

I don't sound like that.

Maybe.

Don't sound like that.

Definitely not.

Definitely not.

They are playing well right now.

They still.

They've never been out of playoff spot, Richard.

They have always been in a permanent playoff spot from the beginning of the season to now.

So the Lakers don't fit the Charlotte Hornets criteria.

Not at all.

But I'm sorry to tell you that.

Not at all.

So, like I was saying, they do not fit what the Charlotte Hornets been doing.

No.

They were tied for fourth, fifth.

They could have been in any one of those positions within the last month.

Had a rough stretch, bounced back out of it.

The last 10 games, playing well, the last six undefeated.

So, looking promising right now.

We all know matchups are important when it comes to the playoffs.

So, for them, I think that is still an important factor trying to avoid certain players.

Player.

If you can.

What player is that, sir?

You bought them up in this conversation before you started talking to me about your win streak.

Luca Farnwine and Justin Nuggets and the Luke Barron.

I did get okay.

That's great.

I don't know.

But playoff, we know where they are.

Yeah.

We got to know where he is.

He's going, oh shit.

Ain't.

You're not clink of power.

He's going here.

That's that big old baby that you see that people be riding around.

They have him pushing the scroller.

They fucking feet dragging on the floor.

Like man, let him walk.

Right?

That's what that's what that's the Andreid fit that.

He does look like a baby.

That big ass baby.

He'll be burping.

But have been playing well.

Absolutely.

All right.

Let's move on to Dr. McHance.

I'm looking at this Lakers stretching game playing some of their best basketball this season.

We first six game win streak this season for the Los Angeles Lakers.

What are your biggest takeaways from the Lakers in their six game win streak?

Take it away.

Don't mean shit.

Still look like the trash as Lakers to me.

You can get happy all they want to.

If you talk, we're going to let's talk for a second.

Let's just talk about what's happening out there on the floor.

Like nothing has changed about their game.

Guys are hitting shots.

When ultimately there's like a liver die scenario with every single possession.

If Lucas not taking the shot, if AR is not getting fouled, Lakers are in trouble.

Deandre A still don't know what the hell he is out there.

He don't know if he's going to get the ball.

He don't know if he's going to get a lob.

Really, he got to find the ball whenever he can find it to shoot it.

And if you still going to depend on Lucas to really anchor the offense based on his performances,

first half, explosions and doing what he does on a regular night to night basis,

they're not going to go far because they don't have any X factors.

I don't think that the bronze is going to be the X factor.

He needs to be the X factor.

And now Slack said he pushed him to the corner.

And now you don't really know what kind of LeBron you're going to get.

And I think that's going to be the difference.

And they don't play no fucking defense.

Like Houston fucked the game up.

The ranch should have did way more than he did.

And I think E-May is putting him in a tough spot and not actually drawing the plays.

Forcing them to play into the picking roles and all that stuff in the double teams.

But you look at the last three tough teams they play.

It's Rockets, Nuggets and Nicks.

Rockets, Nuggets, Nicks and Timberwolves.

Those are good games.

Those are good games to win.

Those are solid games that go in and steal.

But the manner in which they're winning these games don't solidify you being a playoff team.

And you're going to go in and win a playoff series.

I think right now, the Lakers still need to change a pace.

They need to change a gear.

They need to figure something out other than the Luca Magic Show.

That's been, we've seen this.

So when you can isolate that in the playoffs, they're dead.

Because A-R is just, he's still in limbo.

He's still trying to figure out he can go back to being an O-A-R or not.

But 25 of a game is nice.

It's solid.

But it ain't enough.

Not enough shit to this.

That's why you didn't agree with Versace.

I didn't previously call the Lakers the best of the ass teams.

They had struggled to beat good teams at that point.

Yeah.

Now, they're beating good teams.

That was easy.

No, I don't know.

I like what the Lakers do when I think winning games is winning games.

You've got to find a good team, find a way to win games.

And that's what they've been doing.

And once the, when you hear LeBron, Luca, coming into a gym,

do you all remember anything?

It's going to be a good team.

So within playing the right way, LeBron,

I'm not firing a way to play with Luca and A-R.

I feel like that's all they've been missing.

They was trying to figure out them three.

Who's going to be one A, one B?

But now they're just trying to win.

I feel like.

And that's the most important thing.

So they're scary to me.

Do you want to see you pondering?

No, I wasn't.

You know pondering going?

No, I was looking at it to see those shorts.

It's dirty or.

Those are the sex shorts.

Okay, let them do them all right.

You just get down and throw them all.

They're going to kitchen and shit.

Walk around the house on the shorts.

He forgot to hand them all.

He just walked out the house.

To be sure it all too.

You feel like you still take it outside.

You just look like you shot past lost.

Don't do it.

I got you back.

You back.

We don't know what that cap came from.

I don't know that cap.

That's a sock or what?

What is that?

I get you remember the joint that you had that paint bar that

got one of them over here.

You got to switch over here.

You any put those on the hands after you finish.

Boy, you got to go hand.

Six socks.

Six hands.

What you doing?

They do this.

Do this.

Do this.

Show the elbows.

They do this.

Show the elbows.

They're like, you know what I'm going to cut these.

They do this.

All right.

They do this.

My mom used to do it when you go out.

Come here boy.

Come here boy.

Come here.

Come here with the thumb.

Come here.

Come here.

You got a nurse outfit on.

Come on man.

It's called scrubs.

Surgery.

Surgery.

Surgery.

Surgery.

Cool.

Let's go.

We were back.

This is fuckers.

In the arena.

This I'm tired of seeing your faces on some.

Oh.

Why if I cut now?

Why if I cut now?

Like a motherfucker.

Pixelated.

He's tired.

At least one person was pixelated at all times, but.

Tickets.

Let's talk a little bit.

Tickets.

I need to.

Let's talk a little bit about Luca Luca Upish production

during the Six Game Winning Street.

During the Six Game Winning Street Reservoirs in 38.9 rebounds.

8 assists.

Two steals on a block.

On 49.40.82 splits.

In 56 games this season, he's averaging a league leading 33 points per game.

Along with 9 assists, 8 rebounds.

Average and more points rebounds assists and steals in current MVP front runner SGA.

Again, when you look at what Luca's doing and what he's done this season,

and with the expectations for the Lakers' word this season,

does Luca deserve more love in the MVP race?

I don't want to be a stickler for the details.

You say more love.

Not getting enough.

Where is he position now?

At least four or five.

You don't know.

Depending on who you are.

I'm asking you.

Because you asked the question.

I said four or five.

Okay, so four or five do I think he needs four or five?

Right now, Wimby's jumped in the NBA MVP ladder,

which gets released by the league every Friday.

Wimby's jumped to the second spot.

You still got S.J.

Where is he, Joker?

Wimby went from like five to two.

He made a significant jump.

And you know why he went A.

He ducked that smoke.

He ducked that smoke.

Did he play against, did he play the game

but the spurs played the Denver Nuggets?

No Wimby did.

He ducked that smoke.

So, go ahead.

It's my bad.

So, my most recent one, S.J.

A1, Wimby 2, Joker 3, Luca 4.

Okay.

So, do I think he...

I think he need...

I think he needs to deserve...

I think he's getting right, he's getting right, just enough.

He's getting enough.

You know, it's between...

You know, if we're looking at it right now,

it's between him and Yoke is just going to be three and four.

One's having a triple double.

You know, it's about performing all year round.

He's performing all year round.

Now, you got players that's really doing it in front of him.

And I think he's not going to get the credit that he deserves

because of the name LeBron James is...

is carrying because the fact that LeBron James on the team

no one is considering he's 41.

They're only considering his LeBron James

so he's supposed to be great.

Not LeBron James at 40.

And, you know, he isn't who he used to be

that you guys haven't glorified as.

So, obviously,

Luca has to do a lot.

Right?

Get the man easy shot so he's not burning himself out.

Right? Take seven to 13 shots.

Take 18...

I mean, you know, don't burn yourself out

because we're going to need you in the playoffs.

So, you know, the game has become a little bit easier for LeBron

so he can last in the playoffs.

You know, that's not considered, you know, with Luca

but, you know, you can't take away from

what everybody else is doing either.

So, I think he's getting...

I think he's that where he should be.

All right, let's do this.

I can't even do you think that Luca deserves more love

or is he out where he should be?

Okay.

Nice to hear everybody agreeing.

Zach, what do you say?

So, he's number four right now?

Currently four?

Yeah, nothing.

Yeah, you know.

But it fluctuates every week.

I mean, I know the numbers are crazy,

but you still got to play both sides of the playoffs.

Yeah, if I say.

You think...

I mean, you got Jaylen Brown.

I'm waiting for this thing.

I can't argue with it.

Yeah, the numbers ain't good enough.

You know, if he was there or sick,

you got...

That's what I'm saying.

That's what I'm asking.

Do you think he'll be a first thing?

He's back at Jaylen Brown and...

So it's kind of...

His position doesn't work.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's my thing.

Yeah.

Choker.

K.

And they're gonna rob Jaylen Brown.

Okay.

Yeah, Jaylen Brown's not getting it.

Yeah, I wasn't gonna get it.

We're not gonna get it.

I was just...

Where's Luke out on the MVP?

Currently 4th.

Okay.

You see where he's at?

He's at 4th.

K-5th.

Donovan Mitchell 6th.

Jaylen Brown, currently 7th.

Okay.

And 8-9.

Jaylen Johnson.

Thank you.

Jaylen Johnson.

Thank you.

Jaylen Johnson came back and like,

yeah, he's like, yep.

He told you.

He just had 40, doesn't know.

I'm just...

I'm just...

You know how they do with the man?

Like, the media, that's that...

Just out of 40.

I'm fortunate.

Try to...

You say you don't respect Luke

for the defensive effort,

but do you think he deserves more love

in the MVP race right now?

Where he has a liquor situated?

I think he deserves more love.

LeBron missing substantial time.

Also, he's missing, I think, 26 games.

What has he done new?

Getting buckets.

Because it's the same thing.

Same thing, yeah.

Same thing we've been seeing.

So, I mean, if the Lakers were trending

two, three in the West,

one in the West,

we would look at that consistency

to be team revival.

But it's just Luke and being Luke, I think.

To me, the biggest gripe against Luke

is just being a competitor.

I think people misread

what actual competitor is.

You look at how Wimby played both sides

of the ball all last night.

You know, whether his shot is rolling or not,

he's going to compete.

And I think when you compete

and you want to actually go

and stop the other guy from scoring,

you want to actually give effort on the other end.

That's, it says different things about you.

That's why Jaylen Brown

does deserve more credit

because he actually competes.

And Kay Cunningham actually competes.

Anthony Edwards actually competes.

They are true competitors.

So, you look at the MVP race.

It's a lot of it,

it's without, like,

the true competition of it.

I feel like between Joker and Luca

as good as they are.

You know, team oriented players,

if they picked up their competitive nature

on not so much Joker,

not so much Joker.

Please don't put him in the category.

He does compete,

but he does have lack of days of components.

We all do.

Yeah, he has a lot of lack of days of components.

But, but Luca for sure,

Luca for sure has a lot of those non-competitive moments

that makes it look like

the other guys are playing at a higher level.

And I think if he just gave more effort,

it would be clear.

I think if he would be a clear cut,

one, two, a three.

But the fact that we can see it,

and we're watching it,

and you're like,

damn, Luca, you don't get back.

You don't help defense.

You don't do a lot of the things you're doing offense.

You don't do on defense.

So, I can't give him too much love on that,

but he's been consistent just like Shay.

Like I said before, Shay has,

the numbers he has,

he's at number one.

Luca has better numbers.

And he's at number,

what they are sitting at four.

Four, four.

So, the conversation is always going to either be team success

or triple doubles with Joker

and Luca looking like he looks.

It's all dumb.

Thunder of Dull with a ton of injuries.

Nuggets of Dull with a ton of injuries.

But they had more cushion to play with.

The Thunder had more cushion

for the season to play.

We're going 24 and 1, right?

You got more cushion.

So, you can, guys can be out

and you can still be putting up the numbers

that you're putting up

and holding the fort down.

Miss a few games.

But.

And Luca actually has been available.

Yeah.

59 games, you said?

I think 56 games.

56 games.

So, he's been there.

So, it's,

should he, could he be

this higher year?

Would he,

or would he be

surprised if he was higher?

No.

Would be surprised if he was lower.

No, right?

Because it's just the people that they got

at the first three spots,

knowing what they're supposed to.

And then if Jalen Brown was in the top four,

we would be like,

we deserve to be there as well,

as well as K.E.

as well as,

so here's some guys

that's going to get left

off the final ballot

when it's time to vote

that we all think could

actually win the war

because of what they've done

for their team this year.

Where's Jalen Brown's numbers in comparison?

Because he's never like 28.

Yeah, he's having this points.

Yeah, I mean,

he's having this points.

They're number two in the East, right?

Yeah.

Jalen Brown's season shot

at 28.7 rebounds,

five assists,

28.7 and five.

Yeah.

He goes for great numbers.

Yeah.

And I'm looking at Jalen Brown

be 15 all defense.

He should be first team

all defense.

So I'm looking at him

being the first guy

if we can,

I ain't going to say

if we can push,

but think about him being first team

all NBA first team

all defense.

Yeah, no.

Since that one guy,

well, not say one since that one guy

because of Yannis.

Yannis got it.

But looking at Yannis

and then look at MNB

as a guard,

like actually going in there

and saying,

I'm going to do both sides.

Yeah.

That says a lot about the

who community going

back to playing both sides

of the ball.

But you,

like I said,

you can't take shit away

from Luka, man.

Luka is going to be Luka, bro.

But when you talk about

pedigree and competitiveness,

Jalen Brown has stepped it up.

I think Edwards,

if they win more,

he'll be able to step it up

because he's not really focused

on scoring a bunch of points.

He just want to win.

So it's a good competition

right now between all of them.

I like it.

So you talk about competitiveness

with Luka.

So Luka named Western

Congress player of the week,

this previous week,

dropped 51 on the Bulls

Thursday.

Hit his first game winner

with the Lakers

and an overtime win

over the Nugget Saturday,

dropping his 12-triple

double this season on Joker

and them.

So in the Bulls win,

he came in a sidestrike

dropping a 50-point triple-double.

He had 12 points

in the first quarter,

39 over the next three-quarter.

So after that game,

he talked about what led

to his scoring search.

I mean,

in the second quarter

kind of felt that,

you know,

somebody started talking to me

so that woke me up.

I was like,

I've owned defense, too.

Mattas.

Pasellis.

Pasellis.

I was surprised.

I was shocked, too.

What was it that was,

I'm pretty sure,

what was the dialogue

between you two and,

I guess, what about what he was saying?

What you up?

It was defense.

I didn't say what he said,

but, you know,

if I was said that,

I would definitely get attacked.

But, you know,

kind of, you know,

these games,

you know,

sometimes you're going nizzy.

You know, we kind of went nizzy

in the first quarter,

so,

then he woke me up.

Why did it shock you

that he was talking to you?

I feel like,

you probably talk with a lot of guys on this.

Yeah, I was surprised.

I didn't say nothing.

That's probably a surprise.

So he talked to you first.

That's why,

okay.

Not very nice.

I don't even know what to say, honestly.

When he started killing, obviously,

when I started talking to him,

why don't you walk on it?

I don't believe it.

I just,

you know,

I just said,

I don't,

I don't think I can talk to anybody.

That's fine.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

And,

and, I took out a challenge,

and then,

the next game,

what do you hope to take away

from the experience?

Did they steal it?

Um,

I'm not talking about that.

I'm just talking about that.

You just see me fall.

You just see me fall.

You just see me fall.

I love when media don't,

they can't read the room.

I love it.

It just,

do they got to do their job?

No, not, yeah.

But they,

yeah.

He already got rude awakening, right?

He got it right there at real time, right?

He was talking,

I ain't go back down

fifty-twelve and what not?

Don't ask that me.

But there's no next time.

He's gonna shut the fuck up next time.

Yeah.

There's no more talking.

All that talking is out the window.

Will Luke believe he'll be talking?

And Luke was,

Luke was,

Luke was surprised,

because I'm pretty sure he was like,

your game,

the way you play don't,

you don't need to be talking right now.

That's,

that's usually when someone.

But who's else has been playing World of Gilling in the past?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But you're talking to me.

There's very different levels.

You know what I'm saying?

There's levels of conversation.

So like,

when you're playing

in Yokijin,

Luke,

LeBron,

they're having their own conversation.

If you like a third or four option,

you talk the third or four options.

Don't stop the main player one time and then,

yeah, you sorry.

Sorry, yeah,

it's like to do this all day.

Uh-oh.

The next ten plays,

I got this, yeah.

And, you know,

so that's usually what happens.

He probably had more than Luke at that time.

You know, that's what he was saying.

He was just running off at the mouth.

Feeling good.

If you want to really know how it feels in real life,

to talk to an NBA player,

and he responds,

go back to the last part.

Have you ever seen an NBA player respond this way?

Go.

I mean, in the second quarter.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Pass forward.

We're not.

Is this talking?

Can he say something to me?

Go to my touch,

please, if you can.

Okay, look, our production capability.

We got a pass forward now.

I think he did that.

Niggas rage.

He didn't know what,

he didn't know what to say.

What?

Just watch.

I think he got to say something.

I don't even know what to say, honestly.

He didn't know what to say.

He didn't know what to say.

Yeah.

When he started killing, obviously,

when I started talking,

I didn't know what to say.

I don't know what to say.

He didn't know what to say.

He just said,

I don't bet, it's not for anybody.

You know what, I don't bet,

you don't feel right?

Now I'm okay, I'm fine.

And I took on the challenge

in the nextinned career.

What do you hope to take away from this?

I hope to take away

from the experience.

I hope to take away,

I don't know.

I don't know.

What you use this for?

Oh man, I'm not talking.

Oh man.

I think it turned into Napoleon Dynamite.

Oh man.

Oh man.

Oh, Uncle Rico.

I'll tell him what.

You said, set us up like that.

Remember when we were playing my head meat?

No, I don't remember nothing.

And you told me go out and do it.

You don't know him yet.

And then he came down and said,

you gonna do my move?

You're gonna do my move on me?

But you had the best of him then.

But he dumped on Javier, the right play after him.

He got mad.

It was top 10.

Cold.

That's the bill's fault.

No.

I mean, that's life.

I'm so sorry.

That ain't that thing.

Because I did the move.

I slay some players.

Did Jo Jo.

Javier.

You don't know.

He said, I did the little snatch.

He said, you gonna do my move?

You gonna do my move?

Cold for the ball.

It was like a screen.

You know how he split the screen?

Split that well.

Fudge of hell.

It was right there.

I said, oh my God.

I love that one.

Oh my god.

I can't say a thing.

I'm just saying.

One of them ones.

This is the NBA.

For sure.

You remember that?

No.

You just fucked up, man.

He was in a dark moment.

I don't remember a single moment.

I know.

Right, this is 52 or 9.

I don't know, but I'm just saying.

But I'm just saying.

There's a lot of fuckers.

Fuckers, fuckers, fuckers, fuckers, fuckers, fuckers, fuckers.

Young, this is second year.

How many fuckers?

How many of you?

That's where you're going?

Hey, I was in 20 again.

Yeah.

Did he fit?

He was filled with his soul.

Did he?

But I was just welcome to the NBA moment, basically.

Did he feel like he caught it?

He was positive in the result.

But usually, if you thought you did a decent job,

you're going to say, I'm just going to get back to the film

and do it better, and I'm going to get him next time.

He said, I'm just not going to talk to him no more.

This is no more.

No more.

No more.

No more.

No more.

No more.

No, no.

I don't.

I mean, never again.

It's what he said.

I'm just going out there.

I'm just going out there and play basketball.

Moving forward.

And to make somebody feel like that is crazy.

That's.

Because I still talk.

You still talk.

But that's you.

Yeah.

Everybody not like that.

But you guys said previously something like Dylan Brooks

as an example, like, if you're going to do all the talking,

you got to stand on business, right?

Like after it don't work out.

What?

Hey.

When Grizzlies like.

Don't know.

No.

No, Luca wouldn't go around him though, you know.

They ain't doing it.

They ain't fair.

They ain't fair.

It all is not fair.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Where are you going?

No.

Luca gave me a look like, who are you talking to?

Me?

Oh, it's fair.

You know, I get this bitch every time down.

And then you come down.

But wait.

But wait.

You got to have to guard me too now.

Come down here and guard me.

So I can get my shit back.

You got 10 in the road.

Don't go hiding in the corner over there.

Marcus Mark Gore.

No, that's not fair.

Come on, man.

Don't like that.

Don't do that.

Well, we got Marcus Mark.

But since you want to talk to me, I'm going to show you.

You shouldn't have been talking.

But I'm taking the challenge.

That's all you.

You taking the challenge.

That's a personal issue.

That's what Joe personal issue was.

My personal issue is 50.

12 and 9.

You know what I mean?

You're talking to me.

You know what I mean?

I'm saying nothing.

I'm saying nothing.

I'm saying nothing.

I'm saying nothing.

You see, I was cruising.

I was cruising.

I was cruising.

You want this work?

Cool.

Cool.

I ain't even saying nothing.

But I'm average at 20.

I feel like at some point, I'm going to give my 25 of them

I'm going to be on you.

Something.

See, in his head, he, I got ready.

Everything.

He says something.

It's like talking to Tiger on Sunday.

Come on, man.

Good night.

Good night.

It's he shines up.

So the question for the couch in light of this situation,

with Luke and my Totsu Buzellis,

can you remember a time in your career

when somebody started talking to us to you

and you had to shut them up?

Yeah, plenty of times.

It's only with the work, man.

The work talks to you.

I had to put it down.

I said, hey, nothing happened on that court.

Nobody talked to you to me.

Only with the work, man.

It's the time.

So let's talk over there at the beach.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Hey, there's a hair ball.

Look at that.

Get your ass in the game.

Well, man.

It's cool.

I took my shit out on the work.

Got down.

So it was like I home.

Yeah.

So it was like I home.

I'm going to say, I'm going to be his work too.

I mean, you could better not talk too much shit.

I'll fly her out.

Got down.

You better leave me alone.

Yeah, that's pretty much anything.

And when you got the opportunity to,

when anybody gets the talking shit

and you can do it, you're going to try.

Mm-hmm.

You just got to have an opportunity.

So ever since the prior, like, I mean,

looking at the literary look at the box quarter,

I think you did that deliberately to figure out who it was.

Yeah, he did.

You definitely looked at it.

I'm like, who is this?

Yeah, you know what it is.

You know what it is.

I mean, for a lot of hoopers, I mean, it probably happens

to a lot of us since the first day we probably picked up

a basketball.

I know for me.

So it's always been somebody talking

and trying to prove themselves.

I mean, that's the beauty of it, though.

Like, that's what you want.

Yeah.

Honestly, because it brings out the best of you.

You should.

You know, yeah.

You know, if nobody's talking to you,

just out there playing, it's kind of like,

that's the only respect you.

So I look forward to that.

Do you ever have a situation like that you can recall

in your career?

Never.

Everybody was nice to you.

They had to be.

I had one goal in mind.

Oh, man.

I'm tired of this shit.

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

It's just a violence.

Why?

Why is it just a violence?

A violence.

This is talking about.

The bigger the bigger the bigger, it's just a...

Boy, I hate you.

I mean, what do you do?

What do you do?

What do you do?

What do you do?

We're talking about?

Slavery hate.

Slavery hate.

I hate you.

My job was like what?

Your daddy was in the NBA, who was your daddy?

Who was your daddy?

Who was your daddy doing?

When I was in high school.

Who was your daddy boy?

Yeah, I don't wanna talk about that.

No, I'm just saying what I'm saying is turning up.

He heard about me in high school, right?

He thought I was Mexican, right?

Because we read the newspaper,

who does Mexican do that for the office point?

Who is the reason to do that for the office point?

Who is this Mexican do the average at all this point?

See, the problem is the last person that says something to me,

he can say directly to me.

He said it to my high school friend,

the high school friend told me,

and I told him to tell him, good luck, right?

We went in the crenshaw.

We already know what happened then.

Right.

That's the last person I haven't talked shit to, y'all.

Yeah, because once, if they, number one in defense,

pressing the whole game,

and you do what you did against them,

it rings around the world, right?

God.

Rings.

So that means in college, nobody said nothing.

I let the team who's going both years.

You don't tell me shit, right?

NBA, I have a 29, 28.

Shoot all the shots, right?

One full flat, you remember that?

One full flat, it was only one player NBA history

that had set it out loud.

I did this, one full, that means if you say anything,

tell me, hook on eye.

That means you had to shut up when I got on the court.

Or, my 29 go be in your ass, okay?

It's cool, you didn't get this, but you understand?

When, ah, ah, ah, you just,

it's past me.

Hey, y'all.

I'm going to get into the 29, do some more else.

Hey, ah, oh, yeah.

When you, when you was on Timberwolves,

did you hear any of those players talking to me?

Nobody's talking to me.

Nobody's talking to me.

Nobody wants to thank you.

36, 38, 39, 36, 38.

Nobody want that on their face, they're going to let me just,

let me get my little 30 and I, I move on.

Not only would you school, are you sure?

I was like, I bought you, I was doing it.

I was either talking, I was talking people.

You're talking to me, I bought you.

I bought you, and it is.

We honestly didn't know if he spoke English or not.

We didn't know he spoke English or not.

What happened when they did this talk?

No, when it, that's why, who was that?

When they did that, when they did that,

I came back the next year, 40, 40, 40, 45.

No, what was going on?

61, 41, 32, 54, 39, 36,

1 after that.

That was through the round.

Through, through, through the round.

By on.

By on.

That was a big show line.

That was next year.

They came up to you before your life.

I missed it.

And then what happened?

See, we all miss.

Right, you remember when you missed it, did that?

Never happened.

What happened after?

Never happened.

See, I missed that.

I missed that free throw, and I was like, oh,

I thought I was going to turn it.

It was a Nick Anderson.

I had to go see a specialist, just to make sure.

They said when Kobe was going through his shit,

he was going to go see this black ops guy.

I want him.

We did black ops for two weeks.

Two weeks.

Two weeks did black ops for two weeks.

What's your name?

Came back the next season.

Demon.

Demon.

Demon.

Game winters.

Everywhere.

John.

Game winters everywhere.

John.

Yes.

I was shooting way before the shot came.

What?

That's when I was allowed to do this.

I don't fight.

I don't fight.

It ends there.

It ends there.

One of a kind.

Oh.

Anyway, did you talk to a man who's on fire?

Never.

Never.

Might get burned.

Might get burned.

Well, you mentioned the brunt we talked about a little earlier.

I've been playing at a different level on the defensive instance.

Coming back after missing three straight games.

We've seen him diving on the floor for loose balls against the nugget.

Excuse me.

That's right.

I watched the headline of DJ.

Did you tell her you didn't read that shit?

Yeah, that's his words.

Defensive, man.

No, no, no.

He typed that.

He typed that.

He typed that.

He said, diving on loose balls.

Energy effort.

You've seen the cut on his knees.

Don't hit continue.

Bracing the childhood party.

It makes I just confuse.

I was like, damn.

I'll get back.

I'll get back.

Kevin Durant in the fourth order.

Did you say somebody cut on the knee?

Diving for loose balls.

Diving on the floor.

For loose balls, man.

So that was a highlight.

Yeah.

A red moment in the gut.

How you seeing the flow of the hustle?

The hustle effort.

I mean, last time you see the 41-year-old jump on the floor.

What's the last time you see one?

Oh, shit.

I wouldn't do it.

Tell him on the floor.

It's gonna stay on the floor.

It's something on the floor.

Gonna stay on the gut then, Flo.

Don't even pick that shit up.

Somebody is not by the dime to it.

Trying to lead by example, man.

You think it's 40?

Yeah.

That's right.

You also talk about him embracing the role of becoming a corner boy.

Shit you got to do, man.

So before the Rockets game, J.J. Reddick,

was asked about LeBron's role with his squad.

He said, the best thing for our team

is LeBron being the third highest-use player.

So you agree with Reddick saying the best thing for the Lakers

is LeBron being the third-highest-use player on that squad?

Third highest-use...

No.

Wasn't that the...

Wasn't he always that?

Why would you play and use him more than a younger guy?

You mean, there he is before.

You mean why would he say that publicly?

He did say publicly.

Why would you say that publicly

if we already knew this internally?

I mean, it's even worse.

Because it's 41.

You got to play in 37 minutes.

What's...

You got Rui, you got eight.

Like, he ain't supposed to play in 37 minutes.

Okay.

So that's the problem then, right?

He ain't averaging 27 minutes to Broadway.

27 minutes to Broadway.

So, J.J. trying to win.

You know, he can't...

You know, you got to play the best option.

It's the best option.

I have him out there as a third option, but on the floor.

So...

Brian playing 33 minutes again.

Yeah, this is my 40th in the road.

Brand third.

But he still...

Remember what I said?

The Bronx can still be LeBron any time he wants to be LeBron.

He can cut it on, keep it on whenever he wants.

It's J.J. them telling him to regulate that shit.

Dallet back so we can bring...

Just like how they told Cole to dialet back for Shaq.

The same thing he had to tell Luca, amen?

What you want to do?

You're going to dialet back so LeBron can feel like he's a part of this.

Hey, Brian, you got to dialet back so Austin can feel part of this.

So now, like Y'all said earlier, Austin and Luca now feel like

they are leading the ship and Brian can play third fiddle.

He can come out and say this shit publicly because they're moving

in the right direction now.

Eight and one, what is it in the last nine games?

Nine and one in the last ten.

So he feels like now we got a certain type of formula

with LeBron playing third.

But you've had to have those conversations before.

You got to let LeBron know, like, look, this is the best formula.

Because he can go out and take over if he wants to at 41.

But when was Brian ever the second option?

When they've all been together,

A.R. has always been number one on the wrong.

No, I thought they were trying to make A.R. the third option.

I thought that was the issue.

Before A.R. got hurt, when they all was, no.

Before Brian got there.

Brian didn't start the season.

So A.R. was playing with.

Then LeBron came back, played number two.

His presence, the A.R. said down.

That's when they were rich.

That's when they were rich.

I'm telling you, they was trying to get A.R. out of there.

Right.

So that made LeBron number two, thinking that we made...

It's just his presence.

Because they were saying, why would you give A.R. to...

They are still going to take more shots to do just taking more shots to me.

He's showing up.

But his words has nothing to do with what you're doing on the court.

He just wasn't hitting.

But you're taking 20 shots and he's taking 13.

You are the second option.

But that's when he's now on the Florida.

So Brian's taking more shots than Reeves this season.

But that's also factoring in.

Obviously, Brian's that's 13.

14 games.

Well, Reeves was playing that all in B.A. level.

It does seem like Austin had a tendency to defer previously.

He's kind of picked up.

It's natural though.

It's hard not to...

Because it's him.

It is.

That's like we've been saying, just like I would just say, his presence is number two.

Thanks.

Production might be three right now.

But he steps on the floor with Luca, he's number two.

There's no Luca, LeBron, presence is number one.

Just his presence alone is that for other teams to be like, oh shit LeBron over there, right?

For the fans, but we still got LeBron.

Got him over there.

So it's still that.

But in order for them to be successful, then that's the conversation that has to be had, right?

At times, like this in order for us to win, like AR has to take the second most shots, right?

He's smart enough to do it.

But in winning, but in winning time, playoff series, just that in the 30s, been there, right?

So that experience there will overcome a lot of other things that AR just has an experience, right?

So having been able to have AR as your number two when you need him, first three quarters, first three and a half, get tough.

We can throw the ball to somebody who we know, he knows how to get fired, the rest respect him.

He's been in every situation that we can fucking think of as a basketball player.

So it's a win, win for everybody, long as this is the way that it's going, right?

Long as AR realized you are number two, right?

But this man presence is that.

So when we need to lean on him in certain times during the playoffs, we don't need you taking the fucking step back three when we don't need that.

That's all.

That's it.

Because you got to lean on trying to stop your own guy.

I can't have AR's number two now.

The reason is, AR's playing a different game.

Meaning we've been there, we've played with players who's been up for their contract.

And the game that they playing ain't the same as everybody else, right?

You got an aggressive game.

Like at the beginning of the season, you're playing one style because you're trying to bank those numbers.

Towards the end, all you think about is what, not getting hurt.

So you're not going to put yourself in certain positions.

Like, if you look at AR, how he played at the beginning of the season's foul, but he don't do that now.

He's not trying to get hit like that.

So he's going to rely more on jumpers than he is going in that lane trying to get hit.

So that's a very different game from AR.

So he, like, because he wants to get to the end of the season without being hurt.

Because when you get hurt, that number changes.

You didn't negotiate with you now.

As long as he walks out of there healthy, I want the 240.

So you're not going to be trying to be cautious.

So anytime you can shoot a three, shoot a jumper, you're going to do it.

You're not going to be sitting there trying to do all that no more.

And that's why he don't get to the free throw line as much.

So that's what a young father, the best way to do that is defer.

So this motherfucker, 238.

Here you go.

Hey, that's the case, didn't you?

Post up, 238.

Here you go.

Well, that's kind of my issue with the Lakers because I feel right now,

with you just saying that, I was thinking about this when I was watching the game.

AR plays the game right now like he's trying to prove himself.

He's trying to make this contract.

He's trying to establish himself as a dominant player,

but it has nothing to do with winning.

For the Lakers, Lucas trying to win.

LeBron is trying to win.

So between those two guys, and you got, like you should say,

he's in his aquifer him to be number two because he has his mind on other things.

And LeBron and Luca both trying to win.

So where you see AR playing,

that aggression is being pushed in certain points of the game where he knows

that he can affect the game.

But if they win or lose, it don't matter for him.

He's not thinking we just lost.

He's like, what was my numbers was?

Like, did I look good enough?

Like, that's because he's going into the summer.

He's trying to get paid.

We know when you try and get paid and that contracts up,

you're not thinking about winning or losing

because you might not be with the team.

You're going to get more money, though.

You don't strike me.

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

We're thinking about how much money.

We're thinking about getting the hurt.

He's thinking about how much money.

We're going to get you more money.

So they get to Western Conference finals?

Yes.

We're going to get some more money.

Yes.

He balled.

He has the ball.

Well, the least thing.

He gets there.

I'm not bald.

That number goes down.

But everybody, I ballin' like that a lot.

For him to say what the less he would take last,

$15,000.

No, no, no, he says no.

He has to take last.

But he's done it before.

But if he's ballin' and he take it

through the Western Conference finals,

they have to pay it.

He wasn't playing like he is.

No, he has to take last.

But if he's gone-

I think he would have put twenty million dollars in him.

Yeah.

We got it, I'm just saying.

No, how much, where was it?

Before he went down.

Where was it?

Where was it?

There was 28, 28, 29.

So it went down to 25.

Well, this is only in the span of four, five games.

So, yeah, I'm not going to let you talk to me.

Yeah, he needs everything.

I was talking to this man.

This man is talking about the phone.

We're speaking fucking fact.

No.

His name is not LeBron James Cade.

Or these guys were 25 to 22.

It's the same money.

But this is his first big country.

This is first big country.

I don't know what the fuck he's saying.

We can see it out there.

Oh, well, I can see it.

This is first shot fuck.

You can see.

It's fresh.

It's fresh.

It's fresh.

Oh, you played during your contract.

It's fresh.

It's fresh.

You played it.

It's fresh.

I mean, because you got it.

This man got 200.

This man got 200.

That'd be correct.

Let me correct Nick.

I'm not going to say that he's thinking that.

I'll say what the guilt just said.

We can see that there's visible pressure on him.

That when he's performing, he may not be focused on the outcome

of the game, more than the outcome of his performance.

I need my numbers to be x, y, z.

That's why I was saying when he got hurt,

that was because Brian came back.

And I'm not saying that he set out because he wasn't hurt.

But I'm saying it looked like LeBron could affect

my numbers in my contract year.

And in my contract year, I'm trying to get 240.

So if I want my average to stay at 29, 28,

and I got to sit out with a calf injury for 10 games

when I come back,

I'm expected to hit this 28, 29 again.

Guess what he was hitting?

17, 16.

You can see it on his face.

Listen,

Wimby, right?

If Wimby averages 15 during his contract year, Max.

Potential.

Max.

He's going to get Max.

AR needs all of his stats because his name is AR.

Come on, man.

Everybody don't, like your 25 don't register

like everybody else is 25.

25, 25 for him and 21 from him,

that's 30, 40 million that he can lose.

So when you see him out there and he's going six for 18,

and you like go to the basket,

I don't want to twist, I just miss how many games.

I just miss how many games.

I'm not missing a more games.

I'm just gonna keep shooting these jump shots.

They're pretty going high.

When you play into the line,

we get to the line as the easiest way to get my points.

We've all played,

we've all played on a contract year.

We all've seen players play on a contract year.

His money is real different.

We can tell somebody who we know they own a contract year

because they playing out of pocket.

AR money is good.

It's funny not good.

It's not good.

Everybody play out of pocket.

AR money is good.

What's good?

What is the good point?

He's going to get paid.

Yeah, he's going to get paid.

You don't have to work.

You know, one million is getting paid.

Get paid what though?

200.

But he don't think he probably getting that.

Know what I'm saying?

He can't put that in.

Y'all don't want to pay him.

So the mask in your question.

He's putting this man in.

You say he don't, he's not a number two.

He's trying to get paid.

No, I'm just saying.

You can't just keep putting it in there.

Nobody says he's not trying to win.

And he won six games on the road.

After 30s, I'm asking you a question.

Here, I'm asking you a question.

What is good for what he averages?

Do you think he's going to get paid the same amount

as everybody who's averaged 25?

What is Jellin' Brown?

Jellin' Brown averaged what when he got paid what?

Brown like 23.

He averaged 23.

Do you think he's going to get?

How much is Jellin' Brown?

300.

300.

You said it's money good?

Is it money 300 good?

No.

They're not giving him that.

I'm asking you for putting him.

I'm asking you for putting him.

I'm asking you a question.

Like, say you're putting him with shame and shit.

Like, stop asking them with them guys.

I'm asking you.

He's going to pay him to the guys he's compared to.

But his numbers aren't the guys he's compared to.

He's not a number one.

Jellin' Brown was in the number one, you got it?

So is this 23?

Is this 23?

Is Austin Reed's 23?

25.

But he also played in bigger games.

25.

And what does that mean?

25.

Yeah, Brown won a championship.

Who?

Jellin' Brown took up this money before that.

Yeah, I was going to say, did he win a championship

with it?

They went to the finals before that, though.

Yeah.

And they were going to win.

They were going to win.

They got it.

They were going to win every year.

23.

It is.

One average is 23, 300 million.

He's average in 25.

What is the pay grade difference?

So when you say Austin Reeves is going to get paid,

what is that?

90 million?

150 million?

That would be 90.

200 million.

Worst case, he'll be O.C.

And nobody without the O.C.

He's going to get paid.

He didn't want to.

O.G.

Everybody's going to get paid.

He got 215.

O.G.

Got 215.

5 for 215.

So you think he's going to get 215?

He can get anywhere from 5 to 200.

He can get 5 to 200.

He can get 5 to 200.

He can get 5 to 200.

He can get 5 to 200.

185 to 200.

185 to 200.

185 to 200.

185 to 200.

Yeah.

20 to 200.

She didn't jack up.

You're like two.

Yeah.

So you're going to be asking that 500, 300,

$304 million contract this summer after he averaged 26, I believe.

And so he's right there.

So how much is it?

27, excuse me.

So Jalen Williams is number two in O.K.C.

Right?

Yeah.

That's what his number is.

That's what Austin Reeves is saying.

That's what Austin Reeves is saying.

So O.G.

13.

What kind of game do you think you play?

What kind of game?

What kind of drop?

What am I saying that?

What kind of drop?

If he drop, he drops to 1.

What you missing the point, Nate, what we talk about is his

own.

Everybody should have pressure on him.

Hey, am I missing a shot?

You're like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I gotta keep scoring.

No.

Every time I'm missing a shot, it's like, fuck.

I do that.

Everybody does that.

Do you look at the box score?

Do you look at everybody want to make that shot?

Do you look at the box scores at the game?

So I'm not going to say when he missed a shot, he's thinking about his number.

Do you look at the box score after the game?

Yes.

Everybody do, right?

Yes.

Right, because we would care about our performances.

Everybody does.

Right.

So when he's playing on track here, you care about every single game

because your metric is being compared to other contracts.

You're being compared to the other guy in your position.

How much is the average?

25.

How much was the average?

I think he could drop in 15 games.

He was average in 13.

He's not going to drop in 13.

He was average in 32.

He was average in 32.

Got down here.

What I'm saying is, everything matters.

Let's say he dropped, think about what we're saying.

If he's 25 right now, let's say he finishes with 23.

What do you think the impression is?

From everybody around there, those last 15 games of his performance.

He's just happy.

You're a minus two on your score.

I mean, you have some sixes, some five, some tens.

Like, you played, that's bad.

Man, that all that.

We watched Clay Thompson.

We watched Clay.

You scored like this for Luca and LeBron on the court.

You deserve everything.

Did we watch Clay Thompson?

We watched Clay Thompson go through the worst career.

Worst year of his career.

What was it?

18.

18.

19 again.

It was his what?

He didn't get paid.

It was after his...

Remember, no, no, no, no.

He didn't get paid.

He didn't get his extension.

He said, play for him.

Yep.

How do you play?

He's horrible.

He was still like...

Bringing him off the bench.

Like, you know, what you think he was...

Of course, it won't win his four-time champion.

But his money's on the line.

And the pressure kicked in.

Every shot, he wanted it.

I want every shot.

I remember that year.

Yeah, that year was terrible.

That year was terrible.

It was a pressure year.

Come on, man.

We've all been there.

But you think about what he's saying.
