Uh, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs. It's
gonna be one of those episodes. Uh, this is your boy be exiking,
definitely, that's his mike check one two? What's good? Family?
What's good? All right? This is ninety four feet We getting it together,
slowly but surely. This boy, this is your boy be exiking and
building. I'm here, my brother, Uh dre yo. What's good?
Everybody happy to be back in the building. What's good? Go bucks?
I'm also here with a what's good? Good people? What's good? Ray?
What? How y'all doing? Man, I'm doing all right? How
stvided? My goodness? Take it. Let's start it off right. How
are we doing? What's going on? Man? How y'all doing? I'm
great. I'm great. I'm great. I'm great. I'm great. Living
in the American dream my real brother, Ray? Now use them with people
will say, uh, living in the dream. It actually has a negative
connotation these days because people be so stressed out and so worried about everything.
I had a co worker told you you fib to us last week. The
soundbar wasn't on this one right here? It was not. It was not.
When I watched the video tape back all my all my sound bites awkward
sighting, but it's on today, so we appreciate that. So wait,
wait, So I said. I used to work with a coworker that every
time I would see I would say, Hey, how you doing? Living
in American dream? And it annoyed me so much. I'm pretty sure they
were like, what does that mean? No, I told him. I
said, one day, we had a whole big staff gathering, and I
just addressed it. I said, if you don't like what you do,
you know you can always go find somewhere else. Why did you say that?
Why not? Because negative behavior is contagious, and when people start hearing
stuff like that, it starts to create what it starts to create what a
chain reaction, And that's exactly what it is. So here's my question,
living in a dream? Live in a dream? Like, shut up,
I know you didn't. So do you love what you do I do?
Do you love what you do? I love what I do. I like
what I do. I'm in the same business for twenty plus years. You
don't do that underpaid and I love it. That's very true. I will
say I don't love my job, and I'm like the organization. That's a
little bit. Ain't a shame because I only been with my current one.
Pretend I'm just saying you said underpaid, But that's that's the life. I
work in nonprofit. But I just feel like teachers are underpaid. Right,
you used to be one for the nonprofit underpaid government jobs jobs, but they
balance it with the good fur all okay, and retirement. No, they
really do. That's the one thing I missed about working for the states.
We take something right now that that's that it doesn't happen. It's not happening.
Okay. I don't know who you're gonna thank, Republicans, whatever you
want to do. It's not happen. No more those benefits. Like but
y'all got some great benefits. No, we don't. Sorry, clearly don't
things about what we get. But compared to what now the other jobs,
it is magnificent. Y'all are not. I don't know that you are an
officially in the state. I think y'all are in the county, right,
So y'all y'all in the state retirement state. You tripping out is a great
suspect before. No, I had it before with the with the private it
was a different a different kind of occupation. Bro, it's a dollar for
dollar retirement match. Yes, unheard of now grant that you're forced to do
it. You ain't got no choice thanks to Governor Walker. I mean,
but I don't. I'll say that going back to I don't love what I
do. I like the concept of what I do, So I don't love
what I do. And I am one of those people Like so every morning
I say the same thing to the same coworker. We're like, you hate
it here yet, like you hate it here yet? Like nah, all
right, cool, yeah on around like ray round two o'clock, but like
you hated here yet? Yep, I hate it here? Yeah yeah,
And I do it every day because every day. But it's more of a
mental health check. But but but more see how you doing. But people
understand your humor too. People understand your humor and our business when you say
things like that, like living the dream. And it's always in a negative
connotation when you're a known complainer, when you're a known this, where you're
a known this. And I'm just talking about people in general, not specific
persons, because everyone I hear now, oh, living a dream, even
when you go to the grocery store, living a dream and they be so
pissed off scanning them all more groceries. I'm like, why is the world
so angry? If you're doing your if you if you got a job you
like, not working, Mark can't give it nothing back if you leaving us
behind. We need our reparations, yes, we do. We need our
our What is it forty acres and the mule. Listen, I'll say forty
acres in the mule. I'll say this. You know in a world where
this is what I always tell the team that I lead and supervise, and
I'm blessed to work with great people. We are allowed to have bad days.
Absolutely, we're allowed to have challenging days. But the customers we serve
don't deserve to be on the other end of your bad day. So if
you wake up in the morning and that's how you feeling, take a sick
day. But what about when our customers are always having a bad day.
Well, see, we're in two different industries. I've been in that industry.
You ain't been in my level of the industry. You've been in the
lower level of the industry. Because my no, that's not shade it's facts,
okay, because my level of the industry, there's no bad days,
there's challenging days, and none of us are exempt from that. You had,
I didn't say you had you said when the customers having the horrible days?
Oh what you know how many parents try to step on us. But
but you know what is how you bring them back down to it, man,
It's how you bring it back. So it's all in and you and
I we talked about this. We all grew up together. We know what
sets each other off. We knows what, in his words, burns his
biscuit. We knows what sets you off. And y'all know how to just
get me fired up, as y'all would say that line. So if we
know that, we'll do better. Just knows that burns my biscuit. He
knows it, dude. He did it because he knows it. Dude.
That's his favorite line. Say that at least once a week, do yo
dobe into a beat up my own drugs to you. I'm saying these little,
these little sayings because it's not just spread. Yeah, this dude said,
uh, he's gonna wearing back talk about Mike. But at the point
I gotta stop saying this stuff because everybody like that's just saying that's what he's
saying, Like that's I touched phrase. So so people just, you know,
just just take take better, better care of your mental health. I
just you know, those personal days and just take time away. I made
a commitment to myself and in this year, I said, I'm taking two
days off of work every month. And this is from a guy who doesn't
hate what he does. But you need that time away to read, to
get your mind right, to push away from the death, to not worry
about that stuff anymore. You ain't got a lot of us. We know
you don't like your job. You know you don't people when you watch.
I'm glad you brought this up too. And I'm glad you brought it back
the NBA go. I think the NBA players, of course, they love
what they do, unless your name is PJ. Tucker. Unless your name
is PJ. Tucker because as a Milwaukee f we had a play who quick,
I don't want to do this no more. Arry Sanders, yeahry what
they do. Man, the money might be nice, but they always problems.
This this generation, this generation does not love the game of basketball.
Have you seen some people that give you that energy when you see them play
like he don't. He look like he don't love this game. He's just
doing to put a check. But I think he's just doing to put a
check. The NASAs loves a check. No, I think he loves the
NASA's is the definition of easy mode. No. I think he loves his
brother. He loves his brother, That's what he loves. I think he
loves the game of basketball because I watched that documentary last matter of fact,
that last night. Oh the documentary. Loved the game? Man, how
was he? He just he just ain't as talented. He was actually more
talented than was but Yannis overcame his talent. Talking about the documentary on Hulu,
Amazon, amazon As one two, Yeah, that's the but that's the
like the people portraying them. No, what you're talking about it's a real
documentary. Is the real document because he go back home? Yeah, nothing
like that. Okay, So how was it? It was good? Really,
it was very informal. I can dig it, man, loo key.
We might talk about that next week. Yannis. Yanna's been through some
things. Man, give me two weeks to watch it. Given the next
season, it's a movie. This is a movie, right, two hours,
it's like two and a half hours and a half. I rove two
hours in twenty two minutes, an hour and forty eight minutes. Is you
sure we talking about the same thing? Amazon Prime watched it last night on
Amazon Prime. So I'll be talking about that. I need. That's number
one, number two. You know it's two hours being Math, but I
know you see, and I'm two weeks behind. And I'm two weeks behind.
Listen, no, no, no, no, I've had an event
every night this week. No, i have another one the next week.
I just want to say some about being Man real quick. So whatever sold
you on? I have not started season three yet, you caught up?
Do not say anything. This is the line of the year. Though.
Glad butead this detective with the Lilah was like, what the ded that good?
She said? Every inch of it? I said, I saw that
on the preview. I saw that on the preview. It was funny.
Sorry, it was funny. Bem MEPhI is good, but it's nowhere near
as good. It's like Power in my opinion, Being Men two episodes to
me. So you always give me a hard time about this when I'd be
like, do have you watched Power? He said? Why? Money?
Power, sex, drugs. It's the same thing. Powers, too much,
Powers, too much, It's too much. No, it's too much.
Power makes bm F look like it belongs on the Disney. First of
all, why because they ain't doing some every scene they're having sex every scene.
Power. And then listen, y'alllet's say nothing y'all seen some two ds
for First of all, first of all, look, okay, first of
all, first of all, we're like forty if we're watching TV for sex,
really lonely, Okay, watch as a single guy. That's still really
I'm not watching for sexting. What I'm saying is I will watch, you
know. So what I'm saying is, you know, if you think about
be a math, be a math to me it And it's a good show,
but it's a more softer version of Snowfall. A true story is Daddy
getting up too next year? Well they said that at the beginning, They
said, some of this stuff is based on the true story, but make
no mistakes about it, some of this might have actually happened. So,
of course, you know, true stories add the element for TV. Right,
you think about the pursuit of happiness with Will Smith and his son.
In real life, the son was really a baby when they were experiencing their
hardships, not six and seven years old as the movie portrayed. So we
get that BM Memphis good, but it has nothing, no power, not
one thing. Snowfall beat them both in my opinion. But let's talk basketball
man, all right. So I was just in here, you know,
just listening. What was the thing? Okay, go to the injury apart,
Dren we have one. We have one. So speaking of injury report,
I want to shout out Jannis. I don't know if he played today,
but the Bucks were without Yiannis against Golden State and Dame I believe without
and they only lost by two points against the Lakers. One I wanted to
get the Lakers. We got destroyed by Golden State. Steph Curry's back.
Just want to I told y'all don't don't ever sleep on Steph. But he's
hurt. He's hurt. He's hurt, he is hurt. H Ben Simmons
has been shut down for the season. Anybody want to look at the camera,
look at my surprise face. Okay, uh, go to state words
though without Steph Curry ankle reevaluating On Tuesday. Now I saw contradicting reports saying
that Steph might be shut down for four weeks because his ankle injuries are so
severe that they don't want to risk it. So he actually may be shut
down for four weeks. If that's the case, go to State's done stick
a fore kid, any of the Pacers are without Benedic Matt Matt Turin,
not Maclamore, Matt Turin. He has a torn librium librium and his right
shoulder season ending surgery. That's a big loss for them. That's a big
loss for them. He's the one who'll be killing the bucks. Yep,
that's the one I'm talking about. And he was at the All Star Game.
He was part three Fall All Star Game for coming. That's why that's
a big loss. And here's another huge loss, cat Anthony town Is this
his second year a season, a season ending left maniscus tail and they hope
he'll be back for the Western Conference finals. And that's a bold statement to
think that you're gonna even make it that far without him. Really quickly going
back to I don't know what Anthony Edwards, and you still got rooty.
You still got a big They're still good enough to make it to the Western
Conference Finals. I'm not gonna lie y'all see what you're saying, Geezy.
I was just gonna go into what do you think? Okay, So we
have Okay See at one, we have Minnesota at two, the Lakers.
It's very interesting. I believe the Lakers are three and one against OKAC.
I don't know what there. I don't know what the record is against the
timber Wolves. And I remember us talking, I think last year when the
Lakers snuck in and they beat No go to State B Sacramento. There was
a number two seed and then who's the number one seed? Last year?
It was a surprising team, wasn't it. I don't know it was the
number one? Wasn't it Denver? Yeah? Yeah, But it's just like
these young teams. Do you think my question is, do you think with
these two teams Okay See Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves actually have what it takes to
meet in the Western Conference Finals? You know what they do? You said,
who Minnesota Timberwolves or Okay c Thunder have what it takes to make it
to the Western Conference Finals or the NBA Finals. No. The only reason
why y'all say that, I'm gonna say no is because when you get to
the playoffs, if you don't have a half horse set. That's true,
it's tough to win because all of that fast breaking that you allowed to do
with the regular season, because you know, players taking plays off and all
of that, that ain't gonna work in the playoffs. That's why I tell
you that's something Indiana does during the regular season ain't gonna work in the playoffs
because when you go to a half corset, who on that roster you can
depend on that half corset? I was I was gonna say him, but
no, the guy who got hurt, I don't know the name is Benedict,
But I want to say Tyler is still a good passer, Taylor hallibur
Tyre, Tyre Tyre's is still a good passer. But who can you dump
it down? Who can you dump it down into the post? And I
have you also forget they picked up Sam. They did pick up so there's
not it's not a major loss. The pacers are a little deeper. They're
a little deeper, but right now, right now, they like the seventh
seeds. I still don't like the matchup. I still don't like the right
now they're they're playing right now. They went from being what number two?
But remember HALLI Burton was gone for like three weeks and he he ain't been
playing that good. He had a zero point He had a zero point stat
line, which makes me question, are you the guy? Because even the
greats don't have stat lines like that? Now zero all across the board when
you pay twenty five minutes, Tyre's Heliberg. So I'm gonna say this,
I don't I still don't like the idea of the Bucks being matched up with
the Pacers in the first round. In the second round, I think the
Bucks will really give it to them because they have that championship caliber, they
have that championship mentality, And I don't think the Pacers are used to playing
that deep in the playoffs. Because we're here, folks. We are less
than what thirty games out, not even I only have four games left in
my package this year. The Milwaukee Bucks are forty two and twenty three.
That's sixty five games already played. That means there are seventeen games left.
Wait, sixty five is what eighty two games of seventeen games left this season.
There are seventeen and the Bucks have most of their games the rope.
They are six and two since the All Star They are seven and three in
the last ten, right, seventy three in the last team ten, six
and two since the All Star break. What concerns me is that we let
the Golden State Warriors come in there and destroy us. I'm gonna tell you
why I'm not concerned about that. I looked at I really took a look
back, look at it because they had just got blue about fifty the Warriors,
and the Warriors did just got blue about fifty by the Boston Celtics.
And I think that's one of those things where came out with every every Gunny
owned. Yeah, he came out just saying he came out, was it
golden Was it in Golden State? It was? It was in Golden State.
So it was just a lot of that wasn't going on. Remember when
we had that discussion, I told you they were going to lose. Now,
did you that one of the games? You said one of the games
I said they were going to lose. I thought it's hard to win an
oracle, especially with Steph on one like say, yeah, I think so.
When I think about the Milwaukee Bucks and we look at what I love
about playoff basketball is it's it's consistent. So I'm playing you for seven games,
perhaps it's the battle of a gameplay and test and in home court,
home court, watching us play against the Los Angeles Clippers, this was the
first time I said all season, then wow, we have a really good
team. That's the first time I said that all season. Because James Harden
was on his money. Coach guy was on his I'm talking about the game
against the last game I didn't see today. I'm talking about a home game
at Fiser. James Harden, the refs were on the payroll. Let's talk
about that next. How crappy these and these NBA referees are and how they're
literally changing the outcome of games. It is disgusting. Adam Silver, you
should be ashamed of yourself and these referees. You fix everything else in the
NBA, but you need to work on your referees. In this All Star
Game anyway, Paul George was on his money right, their Big three came
out. But defensively, what I see different is that the Bucks are actually
playing defensive and then I'm not gonna credit Pat bad for that, because even
Dame is out here playing a little deep. Not great, but he's playing
a little deep. I'm giving it to Dot Coach. It makes a difference,
Coach, it makes a big difference. So so when the Bucks don't
make it to the finals, then he needs to be fired. I don't
know about that, because he still got the team. He still got the
team halfway through the season. So when when we talk about the Bucks coming
up, this is what they have left. The Kings and in In in
Sacramento, the Sixers, the Suns next Sunday, which we'll all be at
and the Sons aren't playing right now. The Sons aren't playing. We have
the Celtics. That's the biggest test of season Boston time. That's the biggest
test of our because Boston's beaten multiple teams by forty one real quick, real
quick. Because I actually did want to put this on a doctor, but
I ain't put on a doctor. Boston just lost to Denver. They just
lost to the Denver Nuggets, and I don't know what the score was,
but I do know this, when it came down to scorn and clutch,
because everybody was talking about this. Jason Tatum doesn't have it, and because
he doesn't, they only lost by six points. They lost by six points,
but the game was kind of going back and forth, so on and
so forth. But the thing about it is the game in clutch time,
Jason Tatum, because they had a chance of winning game. Actually, but
Jason Tatum is was struggling and clutch time Jason Tatum, that's not fair.
He struggled the whole game. That's not fair. That's true, but it's
still clutched time. Give it to your higher page, Jaylen Brown. Jason
Tatum ranks twenty twenty eighth out of twenty nine players with forty five clutch time
Phield goal totemps. How many with forty five clutch time? Phil go to
temps? I mean has he made He's fifteen for forty seven. That's thirty
two percent. That's a clutch time is a different kind of pressure, and
I know it's a different kind of pressure. It's different. What they saying
is it MVP pressure and that game cost him EMVP. Well, he wasn't
the MVP in my eyes in the beginning. It's Joker. It's always Joker.
It's joker. I'm only person saying SGA and I would be okay with
that. I would be okay with that, But it's not Tatum. I'm
not Jason Tatum. That game have fifteen four and eight. But we'll get
back to that. Going back to the Bucks schedule, they have the Nuggets
on the twenty four at home. That should be interesting. They have the
Lakers at home, they have the Pelicans, they have the Hawks. The
Bucks has a schedule that they should really win out. The Bucks should maybe
lose two or three more games f that. So I like the where the
Bucks all right now? I don't like that we lost to the Lakers without
Lebron. I don't like that either. Okay, you had d Loo looking
like he was an All Star. I don't like that. Hold on,
shout out to the Lakers, d lo Man. D Loo has been lights
out the last choice after that trade rule, after that, he stepped it
up. He been lights out the ball. Give my man shooting. He's
shooting about forty forty eight percent. I think they said this is the best.
I heard a commentartor saying this is the best he's been in his whole
career. This last breach real Man d Loo has always been putting up bricks.
Remember NBA jam puts up a brick. He's very inconsistent. He's very
inconsistent. But I will give it to Keys. Like you said, ever
since the trade rumors and they kept him, he's been on fire. I
will give him that because he's been putting them numbers. He would put forty
five on the bucks and uh, but we were still in it. I
think we should still have won that game. Low key. I like at
the towards the end, we are defensive presence took away. It was some
defensive stops we should have made and we didn't make in that game. We
should have won, but we didn't. But we didn't have Gianni Gad did
play that game getting Lakers. He did not play play against Golden Stage.
No, no, I'm sorry Lebron didn't play. That I was saying,
Lebron di Ron didn't play. Yeah, yeah, Yanni, That's why I
was concerned, Like Lebron didn't play. Lebron didn't play, and we still
it was closed. But Anthony Davis wasn't like balling like that. What is
the one thing I said that the team to always get the Bucks fits.
It's always the one dude who the Lakers and the Charlotte bobcat the Lakers.
I said the Lakers was going to be a problem. I said the Lakers
was going to beat the Bucks when we had that, I think I picked
that as a loss. I picked that as a loss because I know Anthony
David for some reason likes to play his harder against Giannis. I don't know
why he wanted to be his teammate. Remember that he wanted to be his
teammate, did he? Yeah? No, I think the Anthony started killing
them because uh, Anthony started killing them when they said Giannis is a better
player than him. And then after ever since then, he been getting he's
been he's been killing us. There we go, and we're gonna win in
l A. We're gonna win both win in l A. We're gonna win
both. Kawhi is playing Brock just say that because we got Sacramento. In
Sacramento, I said, hell, it could be, but I'm gonna go.
Dub Bunks have a tough schedule, man, I'm where you going.
We Losearament, we lose okay, uh Philadelphia at home. We just want
to remind our viewers. What we said times to Tyree Maxine Maxine, Uh,
Phoenix at home? No, Phoenix at home? Ye, say your
vote. That's Celtics. He's gonna be this next week. That's a win.
That's a that's a win. It just beat to go to about fifty
points. Then how the Bucks. Let's let's let's let's let me let's play
back win in l A. We're gonna win both. Kawhi is playing bro
both. We got the Clippers. Yeah, I just say that because we
got Sacramento in Sacramento was right about it could be. But I'm gonna go
dub Bucks have a tough schedule, man, I'm going where you going.
We lose them, we lose yep. Okay, Uh Philadelphia at at home.
Ain't got nobody thinking about we beat Philly. Nobody facts shoun to Tyree
Maxie Maxi, Uh Phoenix at home. That's no the Beaches at home with
that, that's Boston Celtics in Boston. That's a loss. That's a win.
That's a that's a win. Just so you think they're gonna beat Boston
at home? All right? Big loss? Okay, Uh Brooklyn at home.
I'm just trying to get to the Lakers. Okay, okay, see
at home at home. If we was in the okay, see, I
might say, you said win, yep, Lakers at home. The better
be a doug. That's all better be said. All right, he said,
coming up, I said for the Lakers at home. But this did
they haven't played at home yet. That was Lakers at home Atlanta. No,
that that was go back, go back, I said, Lakers at
home. The Wizards. We talked at the Wizards. The Wizards. We
got Memphis at home. They beat us last time. By the way,
guys, with seven players, we'll beat Memphis this time. We'll probably beat
them by fifty. I'm gonna go win. I think we beat because it
was too embarrassed. Boy lose the lost last time. That Toronto. That's
a win. Yeah, Toronto is done. That's a win. We got
Knicks at home. That's a win. Knicks ain't got nothing. Should we
passed the next past the Lakers go back. It's at the beginning. That
gotta be the beginning. No, it's towards. That's towards the end.
Rewind. That's a win. That's that's a win. I don't think the
bus can beat Boston. What'd you say, keys Boston at home? We
beat Boston. Now on because I said the last week, lose in Boston,
Orlando, Orlando, Beata, Orlando Magic. Already, I'm gonna I'm
gonna go. I'm gonna go. We win. You said win, yes,
easily? Okay, see now, hold on a second. Now,
this is April twelve, last away game of the season, right, I'm
let's have a tough schedule coming up, coming up. Okay, let's let
let's let's do this right now. We got Clippers won a loss. Ah,
I'm gonna go with a loss. I was wrong. Lost. I'm
going that's a win. Hold z because PG is out and Russell and they
played both games when we have middle Russ didn't did didn't this last game,
he didn't play. He didn't play yesterday, walking today, he didn't play.
Squad didn't play. Uh, PG didn't play nor rest Brook. It
was just hard not think he only had thirteen fourteen points. I'm going,
hell, you know what, No, no, So I'm pretty sure we
skipped over the Lakers because we were so involved in a different conversation. So
I had the Bucks losing to the Lakers. I do we talked about it
because I had the Bucks losing in LA and winning at home. I'm quite
frankly, I don't think the Lakers are that good. I think that I
just feel like the Lakers gonna get the one. They're gonna get one out
of the two. They got one, So the next one is on our
home court. That's the one we gonna win. Okay, I could have
sworn I said the Lakers was gonna beat us because I said something about Anthony
Davis. I did because I was saying, Remember I was saying, Anthony
Davis always have a good game on us. So we talked about it.
Yeah, it just might have got mixed in somewhere else, but we did
talk about it. So coming up at the home game, who you got,
you have the Lakers or the Bucks? Because the Bucks just lost without
Lebron and we had all our stars playing and they all put up numbers.
I still feel like I will say that this I'm gonna say about the Lakers.
They always had when you play with Lebron, like the team plays with
Lebron is different, and so I'm not necessarily surprised they got the dub when
they play with with Lebron obviously it's gonna be different. So I think we're
gonna get the dub for that. I think they only won because Russell had
forty four. That's true. He shoots a normal game shooting. They don't
win, they lose. Forty four is a lot yep, yeap. So
moving on with let me ask you this, how long do we keep giving
Luka Doncic past for what? Because they stink? Dallas stinks, But he's
the leader of the team that much. No, if that was Lebron,
you be all over them. You're the one on Rice you said this m
v ps and winners get it done. That's what you said. The Dallas
Mavericks not only do they stink, they stink really bad. They are right
now. If Dallas had to play, they would be in playing and they
would have to play the Suns, the Lakers or the Warriors, and on
their best day, Dallas, No, they can't know, they can't know,
they can't and Luca trust that might stand a chance to lose. And
then on top of that, Phoenex always got somebody hurt. Is he the
the Booker or is he the Bradley Beal? So one of the two gonna
be hurt sore about it right now. They don't want to have to play
the Lakers and playing not Dallas, not Dallas, no Ers, Lebron Cana.
Lebron can win a playing game by him. He's built for that.
Remember, he's built for that. Kyrie and Luca in l A. But
when Lebron, when Lebron is on one, but will Kyrie show up to
work? He will man that do be injured more than anybody I know.
The NBA all hold on a second. This year has been the least injured
season ever since they put that rule in. This has been the least injured
season I think a long time and as much as as much as Kawhala to
be like healthy this year? Are you? Are you just putting a little
bit more effort. I think he's healthy, is playing some serious balls,
and he's the fact that he's not in the m v P conversation, it's
he played good but not MVP col The numbers, okay, fine, most
come most come back, most player, best best comeback player, come back
Player of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Awahi. Leonard has
been playing some serious ball. Document he has them playing ball. I just
feel like he should have the leading scorer. So so let's look at this
comeback player of the year is League Beasley. The NBA power of rankings,
I would be okay with that. Stunk it up in La. He did,
everyone does, and now you become the number one three point shoot in
the league. Yeah the follow up season. So so, according to the
NBA, the current power rankings are number one, the Boston Celtics, number
two, the Denver Nuggets, number three, the Oklahoma City Thunder number four,
the LA Clippers number five, the Minnesota Timberwolves number six, the Milwaukee
Bucks number seven, the Cleveland Cavaliers that's a big surprise, Number eight,
the Miami Heat number nine. Dallas and how they're on the power rankings is
ridiculous to me. Dallas number nine, they're in playing, and number ten
it's the Sacramento Kings. So when you think about where the NBA is right
now, these players that's injured all the time, they better suck it up
because you are now risking your team's playoff standings. That home court that everybody
so desperately wants. I almost feel like the Bucks need home court to be
great in the playoffs. I don't think we do I think we do.
I don't think we oh home field for yes, home court. Bucks need
home court to be great. I don't think I think we do. I'll
give you that. I think we do, and we won't have it this
year, but we did badly. I feel like, can you do okay?
Question, do you sel like we can beat never in a seven game
series? Yes, I don't think we can. I think we can.
I don't think we can. Only reason I say that is I'm gonna tak
it like this, We'll take him at seven. But I don't think we'll.
I think we can. If any team you can beat them in a
seven game series is going to be the Bucks, just off the strength of
Brook Lopez's defense and Giannis being there to back him up against Joker. Yes,
and then you got Bobby two who goes is we got a three tandem
that can guard him, Bobby. Most teams don't got three people, dude,
But Bobby off the bitch. If he don't win six men this year,
he just started doing balling like this though, Dude, Bobby and the
Clippers game, he won that game. I'm just saying, think about it
like you think of any other roster. Nobody has three bigs. That's effective
as our three have an effective three bigs that's effective as ours. I want
to say this, but they're injured right now. The Lakers do who who
Anthony Davis Vanderbilt and they got nothing? Would Jared Vanderbilt, Christian would you
name them? The compete agains are three. I'm I'm saying their younger athletic,
but they can't compete with they can't keep with seven games? Serious,
Hey, y'all want to talk about y'all want to talk about Brook Lopez and
his defense? I see an old man, Oh absolutely old bussy to walk
away after this season barely been his back. Well, we need to walk
away from two players. You see how many shots he can test at the
rim? He could test, but he's he's also a walking injury prone right
now. Man, What I like about Doc Doc is controlling Brooks minutes.
He's not playing as much under Doc as he was Grip. Bobby's not even
six man off the bench right now. Bobby is like seven. Uh.
He's been running with with when Yannis was out, he ran with Brook,
Dang, Jake Crowder, Bobby, Bobby came off the bench. Beasley and
Pat Ball wasn't it Pat bed was on the bench. I think Connington was
on the bench. Let me see who the Bucks ran with against the Clippers
when they played at home. Look who they ran against Golden State when Johanns
didn't play. So when the Bucks played the Clippers, we're talking about the
home game, it was Beasley, Brook, Dame, Jay Crowder, Oh
my god, why can't I think of who else played? Who else started?
It might have been Pat Connington, It might have been Pat. But
nevertheless, what Doc is doing with the rotation in Milwaukee, I like it.
I like it. I'll say this about Bobby. Bobby is playing like
a player with a chip on his shoulder. And I don't know if that's
because he's upset because he doesn't get the clock he feels he deserves or what.
But I like Bobby off the bench. The Bucks ran with Jay Crowder,
Brook Low Paz, Pat Beav Yes, you're correct, Cac Dame Lillard,
and Michael Beasley off the bench. The only players that played really was
Gallinari, Bobby Portis. Bobby had twenty eight points and sixteen rebounds and thirty
minutes A game play that's good and thirty minutes a game play. So the
Bucks team don't get it wrong. They still got a bunch of scrubs.
Okay, the Bucks team still got a bunch of scrubs right the NASAs Anthony
Jackson, Rollins, Washington, Galloway. We got some scrubs. But you
know one thing I noticed, Boat Champion is not on the roster Bow Champions
in Kenosi. Is he in the D League? You know he's inco Yeah,
so Zeke might be honest. Put y'all know, Doc, Put y'all
know, Doc, Doc don't like young players. He ain't got nothing to
do with it. I don't know according to the stat line, because Jared
Jackson, remember Jared Jackson Jr. The l you's gonna do with the with
the with the wild here he had to cook. He played a lot of
games under Adrian Griffin, a lot of games. He was even in the
start lineup for some parts. I just wanna say this up there, real
quick. Bow Champ didn't play for Griffin. Now, he's not playing for
Doc. Put that out there. He was in, he was in.
He was an Adrian's rotation, not by much. Doc took him all the
way out exactly. So Milwaukee Bucks have a signed second year forward Marjihon bou
Champion. The Wisconsin heard there for a while in January. In January before
yeah, I was before break. My goodness, he needs more repids.
It's not enough minutes out there for him right now. He needs to I'm
not saying, Okay, that's fine. I'm just saying, like I understand,
I'm not gonna say he's trash. I'm just saying he's not what we
think he is. Like people are going for him. He's not what he
think he is. And I get it. He's over there in G League
killing, So that's why they keep bringing him back. Let's bring him back
to what he got and he comes to the NBA and it's a different story.
Some people just aren't built for the NBA. He just happened to be
one of those guys. We don't think he's built for the NBA. No,
we have another guy, what's his name, aj Green. He's just
not built for the NBA. It's just that's that's fine. There's nothing wrong
with that. This is not your league. So I just feel like the
Bucks that rotation that we do have, and the Bucks do good with veteran
players. Patrick Beverly. I've been wanting to get Patrick Beverly. He that
dog that's gonna help us in the playoffs. But at the end of the
day, young players come to the walk and Wed just be like he was
that dude at some point. Yeah. But Yanni's improved every season. He
went from eleven to fifteen to twenty twenty five, thirty thirty five. Now
he's he had that between that thirty thirty five year, he didn't even see
the floor. Yeah, I know that's what I'm saying. I get it.
But he shows improvement. It's only bow Champ second season. This is
a bow Champ fourth, third year, second season, this is third,
this is third, is it? Yeah? He was here, Bud,
wasn't he. Yeah, he was here for a Bud was drafting him the
year after he won the title. Yeah, and so I was too.
Was going from like, yeah, this this is gonna be the dude.
And on as I say he didn't get the starting he wouldn't start because I
thought he's gonna start. When I once I say he didn't start, I
was like, huh that. I kept looking at him, kept looking at
him, like, man, I mean when they when they do give him
clock. You know it don't add up. Listen, you gotta think about
it like this. Look who look at the type of lineup you're putting them
in. Mm hmm. He gotta be on that. He's gotta be be
starting with Chris middles Is. Now he's in his second season. Second,
he's in the second season. No, this is his third mar John bow
Champ is in his second season in the n b A with the Milwaukee That's
what I thought, Well, because he was here with Bud last year.
Would he said his last I say, get rid of him? No?
Could? You got to think of it like this. He not gonna be
on the level like what we think he should be on because he's playing with
Gianni's you're talking about Hall of famers. He playing with people they game with.
Though, Now, when you a rookie, how many rookies you seen
him come in and do that? This is second year after the Edwards?
How many times after the Edwards is a rare talent. It took him to
year three four before he was like, his third year, oh I could
do this. Edwards ain't played that long, I said, his third fourth
year before he was like, oh I can do this. Otherwise we were
just thinking, like Anthony Edwards is gonna be another another OKAY player. So
you've seen you say. Are you saying but Anthony Edwards was on a roster
where he had to He's in his fourth season. Anthony Edwards is in his
fourth season and it worked. He's gonna get too fifty at least? Are
you listening to what I'm saying. I see what you're saying. I'm saying.
It wasn't until last year. Are you saying that it wasn't until it
wasn't until last year that Anthony Edwards put his name on the map. I
would disagree. I don't say he took him to the playoffs. The year
after COVID that playoff run was on his back, the one where Pat bad
and then was celebrating like they won the championship. That was on Anthony Edwards
back year when they were no they were on last year. That was the
year before last year, before last l last year he was at LA last
year, last year Pat bev the year that they thought they were making to
the playoffs, Anthony Edwards put that team on his back because remember Kat was
injured again right Rudy was Rudy there. I don't know, I don't remember
if he was there, But Anthony Edwards was been coming in the household name,
but it was nobody there. He had no choice but to step up.
Bo Champ got too many other people that depend on He did too much
watching, right now. That that be young players problem they do. They
do too much watching. When you got players like Giannis on your team,
Lebron k d when you got the Anthony Edwards had no one, So he
has to develop himself more. No, no, think about it. I
see what you're saying, but this is not the case. This Even veterans
come on the Lakers and sit with Lebron and they go to the corner and
they stare so much. Of course you're just seeing Malik Beasley starstruck, not
even starstruck. The offense is different when it's Lebron James in there. I'm
saying this when you talk about I'm saying this. If Anthony Edwards took a
huge leap, are you telling me bow Champions gonna take the same leak?
Are you telling me he's on the rock and he gotesn't have the right opportunity
to take that, Then we need to trade him. The bar got to
go through Yan. You think they finish go through boat Champing. You got
Giannis on the roster, I'm saying, but Dame Howe, Giannas is not
that kind of player where you He's not gonna to allow you to score because
both champion has he has opportunities and he doesn't take advantage of them. If
you take advantage of opportunities, you gotta go out. Let me explain something.
You listen to some of those podcasts when you hear other NBA players talk
about rookies and young players, how they tell them. Listen, yann is
just going to shoot twenty fifteen to twenty. Don't shoot that the ball until
you told to shoot it. So he's not going to have that many opportunities
as Anthony Edwards had to develop and become who he is. Sore, you're
giving me better reasons to trade him. I don't think you trade him.
I think you know. But I'm saying, though, trading while he's young,
while you can get rid of it. Because the Bucks have a problem
with sitting on people too long. We're sitting on Middleton and you see what
we be getting nothing. So I'm saying it's too late and we should trading
Midlton two years ago. I forget Militon's even on the team. Bow champis
too little, I mean, too young to give up. Gotta get rid
of him. Too young. We gotta get rid of him. And know,
I'm gonna tell you who we shouldn't have gave up on. And y'all
gonna hate when I say that. I'm gonna say it anyway, the little
Italian white boy that's on the Knicks. Yeah, man, please, man,
be quiet. He's talking stupid. Give yourself yourself about give him what.
I'm giving myself what nothing? But what are you kidding me? Are
you kidding me? Here we go now, I gotta look his stats up.
Now, I gotta look his stats up. Now. We gotta do
this. There we go, now we go. Now, we gotta looking
stats up. Now, we gotta look at stats up. Bro, they
should have they should have traded him and packed. They should have had a
he's a he's an undersized guard that can't defend. They should have an a
furtive action trade package together. Even so, trade him all bro. Bucks
need to get rid of a few more players. Steven Cenzo was a stepping
around direction. Are you kidding me? He got traded again. He went
to Golden State. When he left us, I stuck it up. He
went to Golden State, stunk it up. Suck and I stunk it up.
He was straight. Now he in New York killing it. He is
not killing it fifteen a game. He was doing that in Milwaukee before he
got injured. Exactly. If you want to give David Cizo a chance and
now boat Chimp, come on, bro hold on stack when he was when
he was in Milwaukee averaging four one year, then hold, I'm gonna go
year by year four nine seven. Now the year he was averaging seven,
he was hurt. He was hurt, and you don't want to He went
to Sacramento with average all the time out. We don't care about that.
We're talking about the Bucks. Yeah, so the Bucks gave up on him
at four. You don't want to get boat Chimp, get his fault.
No, get him out of here. He not gonna do anything. He's
six seven, okay, and he's only been in the league. This is
his second Okay, give the kid a chance. Man, did your job
to fire you yesterday? Man? If y'all ever see the name. If
y'all ever see the name Isaiah Moro, y'all plavate he, y'all, boss
man, I'll better get it right. Got nothing you can. I want
to work for him. Oh my, y'ad, bro, this filthy animal.
I hate mm hm. We should have kept you, should have kept
him, should have kept from I liked him. He played defense here here
open shot and yeah, but y'all want to keep somebody who keeps going back
to the G League. He's going to the G League for a reason,
ya When he played go do that is improving every year, both champions improving.
He's just not getting caught. He's improving in the G League. That's
where he's killing that ude. He averaging thirty there. Let me let me
tell you this. Think of it like this. Who you're going to sit
down for him on that bucks washer right now? Mean? Who will sit
down for him? Somebody got it down? Like what do you mean sitting
down? As far as what lose minutes? Who's gonna lose some minutes over
him? Right now? The position he played right now, he was shooting
guard. Who are you gonna take minutes over? Uh? Definitely not dame.
And Dame's a point shooting guard. We're talking about you talking about Bowl
champ? Yes, who do you bench right now? For both saying if
he was, if he was doing what y'all what I expect from him,
he would be sitting here, he would be he would be playing in front
of pack. Okay, he would be playing front the pack. Let's we
got, we got, we got some other stuff to talk about. Rudy
Gobert was fined one hundred thousand dollars hold Up for criticizing the officials on the
game by making money signs insinuating that the rest were throwing the game for the
other team. You said, who Rudy go beart? Hold on? Let
me just ask a questions, did Rudy take it too far? And does
the NBA have a serious problem? On advans, Minnesota lost to we pull
it up? Minnesota lost. It was so many games that day. It
just happened, didn't it. It just happened like Saturday night. So so
so the question is, so the question is, I don't know if it
was Cleveland. So the question is is did they go too far? Did
they go too far? Rudy go Bear go too far? And does the
NBA have a serious referee problem that needs to be fixed. They played Cleveland,
yes, I don't know if they because the Rudy Gobert, he said
a couple of things that was kind of out. He also said that he
thinks betting has ruined the game. He thinks the referees are participating in betting
and throwing the game exactly. Probably, that's probably. I think refs are
betting and throwing our games. Now that's a huge accusation. Number one.
Number two, the NBA does have a history of a referee who had a
gambling problem, who was betting, who was throwing games, was throwing he
threw He said he didn't throw any games, I think, but he was.
He was betting on games he was refereeing. And that's where the league
is like no, no, no, sir, no no, no no.
So this refereeing problem, I don't think you can do anything about it.
To be honest with you, this is an off season issue, like
you have to address it off season now. I don't think you can do
anything about it. I think we've seen worst reffing when COVID I think it
was in the bubble and they was having these referees come from like all different
kinds of places, so we've seen it be worse. But I also think
that the game right now is changing, and not in a in a bad
direction, not in a good direction. Yeah, oh, I'm I meant
to say, n a bad direction is changing. Sure, I don't,
but I don't want to blame refereeing though, because I think we are the
referee and is so objective. I do hate the fact that referees, like
I would say this playoff time, these these mistakes can't be made because when
you have I think it was a Knicks game, it was a blatant file
and then like two games later the Knicks had to get that went they way.
That was a blatant file on the Knicks. So they won one game
and they lost one game, and both of those games was like referee like
big decisions at the end of the game. So I don't know if you
can just say I'll blame the ref well, those those two games matter,
But if those playoff games, I don't know if the referee was to get
out with a gay, I'm gonna be honest with you. Nowadays, referees
try to play too big of a role of the game instead of just doing
their job. Sometimes, you know what I mean, Sometimes some referees kind
of take it personal. What do you mean the games, and they affect
the games more than they should. You mean outcomes of the game. Yeah,
and that's not just the NBA, it's it's in I've seen it in
college. I've seen it in high school. You should, I'll see it
in middle school basketball. Middle school referees can dictate the outcome of a game
easily, that's true. And with like you said, with that fan duel
and sports betting and all of that going on now where you can bet almost
from your lap anywhere you are, I think it does make a problem for
the league. I'm gonna tell you this, guys. I went to the
Bucks Clippers game on Monday night, and the level of poor refereeing. And
you know, for us, I think we're pretty fifty to fifty when it
comes to the refs, right, Like blaming the refs all the time is
such a cop out. But the Bucks was behind most of that game because
of officiating. James Harden, every time he touches the ball, he gets
a call. Every single tie. It's refereeing. It's refereeing. And so
I say that to say Rudy Gobert, it's kind of like PJ. Tucker.
You might be right, but there's a tactful way to do it,
to throw out allegations that referees are betting on games. That's focus, Bro,
that's focus. I don't think it's I don't want to say it's focus.
But that's like, but I'm say this, that's like say I'm gonna
say it was inappropriate to approach your public. See that's like me saying you
cheat on your taxes just because I because you get big refunds if you did.
That's like we said, you cheat on your out the allegation because that
is furthest thing from the trus That's what I'm saying. So to say that
the referee is betting, but it has happened years ago when they controlled whoever
said they controlled it after the games, if the rest betty, Lebron would
have those ten championships, would have those ten titles if they after the reps
cheated. So Rudy All, I'm saying what Lebron would have those ten titles
if the reps were cheating. You know, he the most critssage player.
He probably would happen here we go here we go. That's why Jordan got
two three peas. Now that is a take. Now that's a take.
But we didn't see the referee change the call. And I'm glad you we
didn't see a ref bring him out of all that. And that's not really
what happened. That's not really what happened. That was all sound bites.
That's not the call. The call still win against Mike, and the refs
said to Michael, Michael, I didn't see it, but I believe you
he didn't chase the call. The only time that influenced the game was when
when they ejected him with Reggie Miller and they brought him back out. Back
in the day when Jordan's it was Jordan was cool with the revs and Jordan
said something next time down you crazy. I've heard stories they say people knew
Jordan was the one you did not want to step on his toes. Even
writers, if you wrote a bad thing about Jordan's you might not have your
job the next week. Oh, he doesn't talk to old boy from Sports
Illustrated to this day, that dogged and when he went to the baseball and
look, come on, all of us is Jordians Michael Jordan should not have
been playing no baseball. But Jordan Jordan don't like you to talk about him.
You don't. Well, he's still and Charles Berkley is still Now how
often do you hear them say bad things about Jordan's twenty years here we are
here, we are forty years later. Well, first of all, Jordan's
forty years later, Jordan's still more of the most powerful people in sports,
in sports, in sports, So really quickly, since we talk about Lebron
talking about Jordan's uh you dotam has them says Chris Bosh was the more and
was more important than Lebron James during the Big Three era. Nothing is it?
You know what, America, Some things in our lives don't warrant a
response, and that's one of one of them. I'm not given. I'm
not giving. I'm not even giving that. I'm not even giving. If
you want to waste your time to get out of take, I'm not even
giving that. Listen. Can you see his perspective, I might even give
it that a take in what context was he using that? I didn't do,
you know what, I wanted to find a clip because because that's what
you gotta I gotta hear the full context to be able to If I can
find a clip, I'll play it next week. Yeah, I need a
full context. I leave that long. I can't really because he might have
set it in the context to them winning the championships. You know what I
mean. Bosh was very important to them winning their champion championships because until Bosh
figured out his role, they did struggle. You get what I'm saying.
Boss couldn't find his identity with the three of them at first. When Lebron
and Wade was found their identity, they knew what they was doing. They
was lobbing and that first year that's why they didn't win the champions the first
year and Jammin Andre throwing full cor aliutes to each other. He didn't fit.
Bosh never fit the mole of Miami. He did fit, It just
took too long for him to get there. Bro scored zero points in the
winning game of the finals. He did not fit. He did not,
but that means he knew his role. He was doing something different though,
And speaking of that, Chris Paul came out and said, was it Chris
Paul that he almost went to the Miami Heat when but during the Big Three
era, but the NBA stopped it. Who said that, Chris Paul.
It was either Chris Paul, Yeah, Chris Paul, Yeah. He said
he almost went, but the NBA stopped it. It was supposed to be
him, Wade, and Lebron, not Bosh. No, it wasn't Chris
Paul. It wasn't Chris Paul. Who wasn't It was Carmelo Anthony who said
that it was supposed to It was supposed to be Carmelo, Lebron, and
Wade, but no Carmela. It was a stupid reason. Carmelo took the
bag in New York, remember, but he said they didn't. Was it
his jersey number? It was something they had about some stupid It was something
real stupid. I was like, really, well, Carmelo was in his
head and right now he would be a NBA champion. Carmelo always thought he
was probably better than Lebron James at one point. I think he's offensively oh
all day, mellow, offensively, oh Man, offensively mellow was a bucket.
He was as a bucket. But you don't have that skills set that
Lebron has. The Denver Nuggets canceled their visit to the White House on March
eighteenth to focus on being ready for the Timber was on March nineteenth. The
actually game is coming up next week. What do you think about this?
I'm okay with that. I mean, I don't I think that. I
think this is very interesting. Actually, well, because here's the thing.
You mean, here's the thing. None of the players visited the White House
when Trump was president, not one team in the NBA one that won,
and they did not visit the White House. The Bucks did not visit the
White House. Right wait, no, the Bucks Biden. We went with
Biden, so the Bucks went to the White House. I think that Denver
doesn't want to be a part of this political I don't think they want to
be in the middle of it right now because of the think No, I
like this because I think they're focused on winning another championship and they know Minnesota
will have this. We might see them, we might see Minnesota. Who
cares? Well? I think the president who cares is the regular season.
Denver is going to be Denver at the end of the day. It's more
of I think it's more political. They don't want to have I agree any
more political stance that they that they go with Biden in this election because they
visited the White House. No, they did not visit. This will be
their visit. And Colorado Denver is considered you know, Colorado's kind of a
battleground still right and right now, I think people are so it's unfortunate that
the political climate in America, and it happened when Obama became president, and
it really took off when Donald Trump became president. That American politics right now,
you cannot be indifferent and still get your respect. Yeah, you cannot
publicly say I support Joe Biden, take notes and not have people be upset
with you. You can you cannot have people say I support Donald Trump,
and now people think that you're maybe you're racist. So so you think this
is a political this is a political pr SPO. But it's the right move
but the right but people don't realize if it's where the bucks right now,
I wouldn't want Milwaukee to go either right but right now. But to be
honest with you, to me, political things aren't really based on presidential things.
When it comes to your city, it's more of the local the government.
The presidency just determined the larger budgets it's where the more smaller this is
what matter. That's why I don't know why people let that effect their decisions
on well, because of your fan base, because of your It's more of
a popularity thing than anything to me. But if you talk about if you
talk about so, sport's supposed to be neutral, it's supposed to be the
one places neutral. Unfortunately with the fast what ten years, it hasn't been.
Sports stopped being neutral the minute. I think when it, like you
said, when Obama got into office and it became a I want to see
the president or I want to see Obama. Players always went to see the
president. This is nothing new, but skipping it is skipping it is new.
But you know you can think for that. No tom Brady, give
me tom Brady. Tom Brady in the New England Patriots. Tom Brady skipped
the Obama visit to the White House because he's a known Republican. And that's
when this foolishness started. Tom Brady, what's the first major athlete to skip
a White House visit? Okay, he skipped it, and that's when it
all started. Then people start saying we're not gonna visit. When Donald Trump
became the president. That's when players in told go to state, we're not
gonna visit it's California. California is a known liberal state. There was no
way that we're gonna go. I don't know, not to get political,
but the NBA tends to lean more liberal. The NBA tends to lean more
democratic. David Stern in his whole time of commissioner, do you know the
only political figure he's ever publicly endorsed OBA was President Barack Obama? And you
know what that? You know that why that was? If you look at
a lot of the NBA players, they endorse typically democratic president because the NBA
take stands on what Black lives matters LGBT LGBT. The Bucks had a old
Latina Knight the other night, bro right, the NBA put Black Lives Matter
on their The NBA is too diverse to not stay liberal. Does that make
sense? And I think that yes, politics has destroyed sports. I mean,
did you hear how upset people were when they did the black national anthem
at the Super Bowl? People were upset about that. For what people were
upset about that? Well, because people think, well that you're the only
one national anthem. It divides us. Let me just play this clip for
Charles Barkley addressing the neighbor niggas skipping their trip to canceling their trip, they
said, do the scheduling conflict depending on these severity or what's funny? Uh?
They flying south? I actually have a problem with this whole thing that
happened in sports the last few years, not just now. It's honor,
the privilege to go to the White House. It shouldn't matter who's in the
White House. Is honor and a privilege to go to the White House.
You should always go. But these guys are like they're flying southwest. You're
sir, you're not buying the Uh it would go? Would I would go?
You always go to the White House. It's the president, whether you
like the president or not. Well, they're saying that's a basketball I understand
that, but I'm saying for me personally, so honor and a privilege to
go to the White House, and you should always go a r I I
could lean towards. Let me come in real quick. I had a student
who won what it's called the Presidential Scholarship, and it comes with a guaranteed
trip to the White House. And Donald Trump was the president at the time
and the winner. We've had multiple, so for people that listen to me,
they try to figure it out. We have multiple We had a presidential
scholar every year, so I don't want people trying to guess it. And
they were like, well, I'm not going to go because I don't agree
with his policy, nor do I like him. And he said if he
walks in the room, I'm just gonna sit down. And I said,
well, then you shouldn't go. I said, if you're not going to
respect the office of the president, then you shouldn't go. I said,
I could agree with everything you just said, but if I had a chance
to go to the I'm not gonna willingly go. But if my job said
to me, hey, we need you to go to the White House,
I'm gonna try to get out of it. With any president it because I
don't want to be known as someone that's political, right. I don't want
to be known that I'm in many different circles and politics is a personal choice.
But I told that student, I said, then you don't go if
you don't have intent on being respecting the office. I remember I was a
member of a church in Milwaukee when the pastor went to go meet with then
President Donald Trump, and it was a problem. People were up set because
the pastor went to visit with Donald Trump, and the pastor minded folks.
I've sat with multiple presidents no matter the party. It brings it back to
the political landscape is so broken in this country that we can't agree to disagree
anymore because now I'm offended because your beliefs aren't the same as mind. Yeah,
I'm gonna tell you like this, it's an honor the plice to go
to the White House, just as an American, and to say you went
to the White House is one thing in itself. It shouldn't matter who the
president is at the time when you decide to go or decide if video,
it's gonna be your factor if you're going, because it's more of being a
learning about our history as of America going into the White House. Nope,
not everybody gets to go there. I've never been there, and I've tried
every time I've been to DC, I've never been there. It's it's almost
impossible. And to get an invite you should take advantage of it, not
based on what your political beliefs are, but just being a part of something
that not even American has a chance to do. Would I go? Now?
Would you go? If I got invite to White House right now?
Because of what my my job is right now, I would not go.
I would not go. I would not go. If I'm visiting and I'm
on a vacation, I will go. When they visit the White House,
they're meeting, also meeting with the president. If your NBA champion, your
team's going, are you opting? Are you opting out? Oh? I'm
going. It's a team effort. If the team is going, you're going.
No, I'm saying you can opt out. You can't. I'm going.
It's it's a solidarity thing. Are you going? Yeah? No matter
who's in office. If you had a choice to take one person to go
visit the White House with, who would you take? I don't want to
go. I'm trying to keep him so so again, it is political stuff.
If you really want to go, If you want to go to the
White House and they say that you can bring one person with you, who
would you take. I'm not nember one not bringing you. I'll probably bring
a kid. Bring the kid, just because that's like you said, you're
not bring one of us to bring one of y'all so so so we can
speak for you, so you don't embarrass yourself. That's the party. He
mean that you think I'm gonna go in there and be like all these white
folks up in here with some black No, I want to finish. I'd
be like, hey, how you doing, uh, mister president, blah
blah blah, And I would behave myself. That's what you're think of me?
Yourself? Yes, I do you really do surprisingly enough? You know
this cool comicsterior, you know it is what it is. Probably wouldn't take
y'all either, I know you wouldn't. You should take your child. I
would. I would take my son, and and those are things that they
would remember, Like I've been in front of the White House. Uh.
I certainly went to the inauguration of Barack Obama. I've taken pictures in front
of the White House, but I've never been invited. If you're invited to
the White House, no matter your affiliation politically, you should absolutely go.
You respect the office of the President. As your opinion has changed about who's
gonna win the NBA Championship. Now that the Clippers have lost of the Bucks
it has too or Boston, I said Boston. Uh No, I say
Boston. I think I said Boston. Don't don't do it either, or
who you going with? I'm going to Denver Nuggets again. I think I'm
thinking. I think I think I said Boston before. I think I am
changing the Denver Nuggets. I think they're going back to back. I do
let America. I know because someone texts me, don't invite me to the
White House because I ain't gonna neither is Kis. Don't get it twisted,
neither is Zeke. Especially if it starts in twenty twenty five. I'm going
one. It would be. I mean, I'm not gonna hold you if
things are going away. If think they're gonna go, it's gonna hard,
it would be it's gonna I'm gonna have to think about it. You wanna
go to wanna go to the White House? Let me think about it.
Give me like a week I think about it, because like you said,
it's the privileges, is the once in a lifetime opportunity. Just because I
don't like you that on me, I can't, right, I don't I
love it because people know, like it's so hard here's the thing, Like
I have a lot of friends on the other side of the aisle that we
can just have real life politics, talks about like why I'm voting the way
I'm voting, why I don't like this person, and we end the day
cool. But that is not today's America. Man, I was in the
store, so you were so judged when you talk about politics now, dude,
But even back in the day, though, it was almost a grand
actual man. Who is man? Nowadays it's it's it's now, It's okay
to be cool. The fact that you know, I was in the store
and someone had on a make America Great Again shirt, a hat just loud
and clear, and I'm just like people wear hats, like you really walk
around with hats and shirts of political candidates. What about the Voter Day shirts?
In my mind, voter die is a broad message period. We know
what that. It was heavy in our committity. It was on it.
It was on it. It was a democratic initiative. It was absolutely a
diment. It was actually was a p Diddy initiative. I've been looking for
that shirt online and I found it on eBay. Yo. Wouldn't believe how
much of cost I bet it costs a lot trying to bring those back out
again. Uh So, nevertheless, the guy with the hat, he was
he was proud with his hat on, and someone happened to ask him.
They was like, why do you wear that hat like you're supporting Donald Trump?
And they got into a big debate and he said, well, my
views are my views, and a person said to him, well, you're
wearing a hat in public, so it's a we can ask you about it.
Then, right, Well it doesn't mean it. But is it not
that you're seeking attention? You are? You not seeking attention if you were
a political at or shirt somewhere. Why do you think I don't want to
say. I don't want to say seeking attention. I think that you are.
It's a choice. You have a freedom of choice. You have a
freedom of choice, and but you don't think people are not. You're not
looking for a response I want to get. I want to It's a it's
a gray area. That's a gray area. It's a very gray area.
Bro. I used to work in Jamesville, Wisconsin, and I used to
have my Barack Obama bumper sticker on my car and people will ride past me
and give me dirty looks in mouth. F Obama. Oh people listen.
It's it's a crazy different world. And it's unfortunate that politics are now in
the center of this because now the question is going to be about the Kansas
City Chiefs. If Donald Trump wins the White House, are they gonna go?
I'll be intrigued because when President Trump was in the White House, we
had the fewest amount of professional teams. I don't think nobody did. I
don't think anybody did. I think the but the baseball team did, A
hockey team did that. Tom Brady didn't even go with Trump got in.
He didn't go because he knew he couldn't show up there after not showing up
for Obama. Well, he's the goat, so you know the goals.
You can do what you want to do, go to the White House.
But yeah, Kesey, has you has your back to basketball strictly basketball?
Kesey, has your opinion changed about who's gonna win championship? I'm still sticking
with the Bucks. You did say the Bucks? I did. I told
you all things will get better. You didn't give some time. I didn't
think they was gonna fire the coach. He should have had it in the
first place. I said that he should have. And by the way,
our politics discussion related to sports. So it's okay America. But let the
record show we are not a politic or culture show. We do not support
George We do not support Donald Trump. It depends on the situation. It
depends on the situation. Because they throw a bag our way. Opinions might
change anyway. It depends how much it is continue. Hey, still,
I'll take your mind. I'm still sticking with the bucks. Though. To
go back to that, I feel because you I think you said, like
last week we talked about wins the losses with the bus, I think you
got like maybe two three? What losses? No, I have six?
You had six losses? Have because it was what how many games? Was
this like seventeen games? Like when we did it last week, it was
like twenty two games games? And I said, like seventeen and five or
something like that. Yeah, yeah, And I don't think it was that.
I think it was like because I had like four it was seventeen and
five and he had like three. I have five. I took paper paper,
I'm posting the clip what the paper you wrote it on? I'm threw
it in the garbage. I'm posting the clip. I'm going to post the
clip. I'm gonna post it. I'm going to post the clip. I'm
gonna post the clip. Just go back and listen to our episode last week,
the last fifteen minutes of the episode. I'm gonna post a clip on
Facebook and post it on Instagram. You be doing numbers. I had the
Clippers at the Clippers losing. I had us losing to least the Lakers one
time. I had us losing to I think I had us losing the Golden
State. But I have you can think about you can think about three losses.
And I had automatically because I had one of the Lakers, I had
one of the Gods, one of the Golden States, and I had one
of the Sacramento Kenyon games. So I know I had at least five.
Okay, I think I had like four. Really quickly, who you are?
I don't, I don't, uh, real quick? Who's better?
Kevin Durant and Jason Tatum. Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant. What kind of
question was that? Really? Right with Kevin Durant right now? Yeah,
right now? Something they're gonna have to lose ten games between now and the
end of the season. I don't see him losing ten games. I see
him losing fifteen. I see him losing if you have to schedule bought up
for the rest of the season, I see him so here when it starts
America six, you said fifteen fifteen World Games, one of these guys.
First, did you see the way they beat the breaks off of Charlotte twice?
Twice? Now, I like that. That's how you're supposed to be
Charlotte. But yeah, that's how I don't lie. I am course.
I set that game and I left at the end of the third he said,
he c O. ESPN's always gonna let us know. He got season
tickets. He's gonna let us know how close, he said, he always
gonna do that. I ain't going to the wild. Hey, yeah,
it's raining outside. Yeah, I was sitting close for Hey, we got
we got the Clippers on Monday, winner loss. Let's let let's the Bucks
have a tough go away to the end. No, no, no,
that's just this is like a three minute conversation. We have a tough schedule
coming up. But I wasn't going with this Laker thing. Let's let's do
this right now. We got Clippers won a loss. Uh, I'm gonna
go with the loss. And we won that game. So I was wrong
lost. I'm gonnaing the that's a win. I got keys because PG is
out. He played in Russell, he did out. We when we ain't
have Middleton off our games, we just won the Bunks winning. You got
the Bunks win we at home? Okay, change it? So we won.
What you got key looks winning. You have winning that. I'm going
to hell. We want said okay, you changed it. We should make
it mine up. We gotta hell. We got Golden State. When that's
a wind, I thought it's gonna be a dad. We got the said
easy one. What did I say? We all said we got the Lakers
in l A. Who we got the Lakers? We got the Lakers in
l A. I'm gonna call it. We got the Lakers. I got
Golden State. And did you get the Lakers? What you got for the
for the Golden State? Golden State? Yeah, that's a win, easy
win, Lakers, that's a win. No, because Anti Davis all to
play good against us for something. Anthony Davis has been falling to. Yeah.
He always be a problem for us. We're gonna beat Golden State.
Okay, tell you to you said, I'll said, that's what. That's
what. We're gonna beat Golden State. We all we all thought State Clippers.
Yeah, so we all had the Lakers for the Lakers. Uh,
but Keasey changed is because a d always ball against us. But it ended
up being Russell. So I'm gonna say this, man, I'm just I'm
still gonna post. I'm still gonna post clip because it's a good one to
look back at. I still don't see championship for the Bucks. As much
as I want it, I want it bad too, because I feel like
we started, we're starting to hall in that area where it's like it's uh
what they call it, a ah expectation. I'm an expectator, know what
I'm saying. Something else like that one champion, Oh, they didn't want
they want to done, it's all. I don't want that to be expectations.
I'm gonna tell you like this right now, I have to look at
it around the league. I don't see one consistent team enough to say they
got it locked. You don't think Boston is no because they get the breaks
beat off of them by Denver. But yeah, Denver get beat by the
Bucks. Then Denver beats Indiana about fifty, and Indiana beat Touch about fifty.
You know what I'm saying. It's just it's too much inconsistent inconsistency with
play. I don't know, nothing stands out for no team saying they got
it. I'll give you that. I think a lot of that, though.
I don't think one team is dominant. Just think about the season,
think about the previous seasons, Like you'd be like, when we come into
this part of the season, you got two or three teams, you like
one of them, three teams gonna win it. You don't have that right
now. I don't have that right now I have. I got like six
or seven I got. I know I got. You can say, because
you can say Boston because they got the best record. You can say Minnesota
because they got the best record. I don't see Boston. I don't see.
I don't see you can say, okay, see because they got a
good record. You got Denver, you got the Bucks. You know what
I mean? I just feel like, because we talked about this like a
while ago, Boston, Denver, Bucks, and then I think the rest
of the field is wide open. Even with the go okay see thunder in
Minnesota, I think it's wide open. I don't think you can sleep on
the clippers. I don't think you can't sleep on the clippers. I think
clippers because remember, the Bucks kryptonite is a man named Kawhi Leonard Okay,
no bro. He came back and one and two years. We ain't seen
him in two years. We ain't seen him in two years. We ain't
seen him in two years. I don't know now, so I'm intrigued by
that. I'll see what happened. We'll see what happens, but I don't
know. We we we've been all over the place today, but it actually
liked that we could do this every now and every now and then. It's
not really a lot going on. I went to hone in, but this
is one of his games, one of the episodes. We just talk freestyle.
So next week after so we'll all be at the Bucks game together.
So we'll happen coming in talk. We coming in Bucks talk and talk and
recapping the Bucks versus Phoenix Suns. It's a TV game that's on ABC,
I believe, So it's a big game next week. KD is scheduled to
play Durant. I'm sorry badly, Bill, they're supposed a full lineup.
Is Booker gonna play because he didn't played his last game first Boston? All
I know is that if the if the Phoenix Suns has a full lineup,
this may be a preview of the NBA Finals. Again, what no KD
in the playoffs? You can't count him out either, Bro, I can
the toe on the line that you was consistently talking about. It's only two
people I can't count out Stephen Lebron. KD is not part of that.
Really, KT's not part of that. KD is not a leader in a
sense. But KD in the playoffs is a monster. He was toe from
making us cry. Yes, But what I'm saying is I don't count him.
Is one of those guys who can just take off a series. All
right, thank you for wearing two little shoes and Ky getting hurt. We
still got it. Take us home. But this week, though, we
can't wait Patrick's days. You know the world's gonna be crazy. I'll probably
be drunk too, but you can't go I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna
be that drunk. Yeah care, I't gonna be that kind of a drink
green beer. It depends, No, don't, it'll taste it. Don't
change to change. I've been. I've been good since twenty nineteen. Don't
you always pushed today? Yeah? No, I don't twenty seventeen, Bar
Louis December thirty, twenty nineteen. And what you say you ain't drinking no
more? I don't drink. Don't you don't try to seeing us living a
different lifestyle for my kids. Man, Amen, Amen, I know you,
I know both of you. You don't know what us if you think
we're taking I just left your house for shotglasses. I used to too late,
too late, I'm saying. I'm saying, bro, I collected,
and who's taking it from me? You are? I said I'll be drunk
next week. I said it. I'm drunk next week. Saint Patrick's Day.
