Go ahead.

Well, there's no way in the blue hell that LeBron James is coming off the bench as a sixth man right now.

You know, there's no way that's going to happen.

But if you go back and watch the NBA finals, if you plug in LeBron James at the small forward position for the Spurs, You know, they had Julian Champagne.

They had Devin Basile.

They had those guys.

But if you were to plug him in at that four or the three spot...

Okay, what do you got for us?

Okay.

Tyrese Maxey is who I consider a top two or three guard in the Eastern Conference.

I mean, we, we've seen him.

He's super, super aggressive offensively.

He's been All-Star now.

He is really the catalyst to the Sixers team.

Um, has the same representation.

Okay

Okay.

But how close to winning are they with this type of backcourt? Do they have what they need down low in, in other positions to be able to have those two be able to be the catalyst for this team to go to the next level?

Well, the only thing that I don't like about Minnesota's roster right now is with them being in the West, you're going against Wemby Yama, you're going against OKC.

You see they just resigned Hartenstein.

They drafted Adama, the kid from Michigan 73.

They got Chet Holmgren.

They got a massive front line.

So you only have Rudy Gobert there now as your, your, your center, your rim protector.

[laughs]

So, Cuff, let me know what you think.

I mean, is that why you changing your tune, Cuffs?

You know I'm team light skin forever, man.

But I just love the way Jalen Brunson.

He doesn't play like a 6'1", 6'2", guard, right? Like, you see him posting up 6'7", 6'8", guys, using his footwork, creating space.

Like, every kid should be watching this guy going forward as far as American players.

That's what's so sweet about this.

We've had these European players just dominating the sport.

I would

[laughs]

I just love the way Jalen Brunson, he play, he doesn't play like a 6.1, 6.2 guard, right? Like, you see him posting up 6.7, 6.8 guys, using his footwork, creating space.

Like it's, every kid should be watching this guy going forward, as far as American players.

That's what's so sweet about this.

We've had these European players just dominating the sport.

You know, the NBA has tried to make Giannis the face of the league.

They tried to make Luka the face of the league.

I don't know.

[laughs]

...

They need a big man.

29-point lead, and you lose it.

Let's go.

Oh, like as I'm speaking right now, I'm getting kind of flustered and frustrated because the coach in me and the former basketball hooper player in me, no matter what level of basketball, to all the kids listening, high school, middle school, a point guard does not do that in that situation, De'Aaron Fox.

And I will also say that one play didn't lose them that game.

But Mitch Johnson, my brother, my light-skinned brother in Christ, Mitch Johnson, man, I know you were a young head coach and you were given the keys and you were promoted from within because the Spurs organization, they're known to do that.

Like Mitch Johnson was in the Spurs organization for like 10 years.

He's a former Hooper at Stanford.

What's y'all thoughts?

29-point

lead, and you lose it.

Let's go.

What's your thoughts?

Like, do you think that a series like this, the way it's playing out so far, does it make you give pause on, like, all of the things that are being said about Wimby? Or do you guys still feel bullish on him? Being the greatest, that is.

Here's the thing with Wimby, man.

Like, me being like a – Like, I'm watching – I'm watching the game as a coach, man, and I'm seeing a player that is too emotional sometimes.

And Kevin Garnett said something similar before this series.

Did y'all remember how Wimby celebrated after they beat OKC? He was, like, really happy.

And you're supposed to be happy in that moment, but he has a lot of highs and lows with his emotions, and I think he had those stretches in the game where – he really doesn't have any go-to moves.

So he gets frustrated sometimes where it's just not – he can't rely solely on him being 7'5 and being the tallest guy.

TJ, TJ, Cubs, what's your take on it? I mean, to come or not to come, does Stephen A have a point or does he not have a point? Should the president be able to come?

Like, do you think that a series like this, the way it's playing out so far, does it make you give pause on, like, all of the things that are being said about Wimby, or do you guys still feel bullish on him being the greatest, that is?

have a point or does he not have a point? Should the president be able to come?

How do you see this playing out with Jalen Williams being out with the hamstring?

hamstring?I think it's gonna come down to Jarrett McCain tonight, my Duke brother in Christ.

Jarrett McCain has had those offensive explosions so far in a couple games this series, and he can create his own shot.

And what I really like about Jarrett McCain being paired with SGA is he can play off the ball.

He's a real good high level catch-and-shoot guy, and I think tonight is the night.

At home, McCain has a lot of confidence on the road, so I know tonight he's gonna have even more confidence.

He know he has to bring that, that firepower tonight.

Cuffs, TJ, fixed or still a disaster?

McCain has a lot of confidence on the road, so I know tonight he's gonna have even more confidence.

He know he has to bring that, that firepower tonight.

Cuffs, TJ, fixed or still a disaster?

So the Eastern Conference is up for grabs.

Well, I'll say my thing real quick about the Knicks is, Platt kind of took the words out of my mouth.

You know what I'm saying, Paul? Pause.

I feel like Carl Anthony Towns, the Towns of Carl Anthony, they have unlocked him.

Mike Brown has found something with him being the dribble handoff guy, picking, popping, being the facilitator, and the assists are up across the board.

If they can keep playing through Katz, and get OG on and they'll be back pretty much 80%, 90% healthy.

This should be a cakewalk because they have more toughness on the wing.

So, you know, for him moving forward, what do you think is the most likely situation for LeBron and the Lakers and him moving forward? And will this be his last year playing basketball?

Give us, give us some insight on this game in particular.

Like, Jon Scheyer, he's done a magnific- magnificent job, like, taking over for Coach K.

So I'm not one of these fans that's in the heat of the moment, 'cause a lot of the fan base right now is feeling like Scheyer can't get over the hump, and he's, he's starting to be on the hot seat.

'Cause we saw the last couple years Duke has blown these, these late game situations.

Like last year against Houston, they couldn't get the ball in bounds.

They lost a chance to win that championship with Cooper Flagg.

Now you fast-forward this year, the Boozer twins, you got a chance to really win this thing and get over the hump, right? And then the last play, it comes down to execution.

So when you talk about the execution, it was a whole lapse from, from the team going into the second half versus UConn.

Kewpie, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

ChatGPT can do more than answer questions.

It can help you get real work done.

ChatGPT Work is built for bigger projects with multiple steps.

You bring the goal, along with the information it needs, like briefs, notes, files, feedback, calendars, data sets, or project plans.

Then ChatGPT can help turn all of that into something useful.

An analysis, a tracker, a deck outline, a prototype, or a workflow you can keep shaping.

I, I, I-

Yeah.

He made all the winning plays.

He made all the good open shots.

And Caden Boozer has a funky looking jump shot, but he makes them in the clutch.

And you saw in the ACC tournament, he took over games, he pushed Duke through.

The other n- the other day against Siena, they were down.

The whole, the streets was saying, "Duke is fraud.

Caleb Wilson.

Yeah.

He was making all the winning plays.

He made all the good open shots.

And Caden Boozer has a funky looking jump shot, but he makes them in the clutch.

And you saw in the ACC tournament he took over games.

He pushed Duke through.

The other n- the other day against Siena they were down.

And look, when, look, when they got him, the fan base were actually surprised they got him because it's been so long since they got the guy they really wanted from the McDonald's All-American crop

[laughs]

And it's like, how is he sc- That's what I like about Luka because he doesn't have the physical attributes as, as like SGA.

SGA is way more athletic, athletically gifted than I'd say Luka, right? And, and like even Jokic.

We don't put Jokic in this scoring conversation enough because I feel like he's such a playmaker for others, and he's a assist guy as well.

Man, you can't tell me Jokic...

If Jokic decide right now, "You know what, I'ma average 30, 35 next year," Jokic can average 30 if he really wake up and say he wanna average 30.

And then people might not respect it the same because, once again, back to the salad.

Talk to me.

Mm-hmm.

But he's the face of the Celtics.

And Jaylen Brown has really emerged to the point where me as a basketball fan, I never viewed him as like...

I never viewed it as well as either or, 'cause I'm a coach as well, so my coach eye is like, "I want both of these killers." I do- I feel like they can kill you in different ways.

It's different ways.

You know, JT is not a vocal kid, man.

He's actually shy on camera.

Oh, no.

Mm.

But he's the face of the Celtics.

Oh, no.

I thought he was gonna get another shake at it, but man, let us know what you think.

Man, I...

Flagg, I...

That's...

He's a good friend of mine as well, man.

I've known him off the court for, like, well over 15 years plus, man.

We from the same home state.

Right

Ooh.

Just, just a few years ago, maybe, like, 2016 or 2018 maybe.

So his story, like, his meteoric rise from, like, being a, just a regular everyday dude, and now he's a global icon.

And I'ma keep it real with y'all.

You know, up on game, we live in front of millions, I'ma keep it real.

I don't know any of the songs.

I just know that I've been in Mexico, in Cancun, Playa Del Carmen.

Hmm.

And Jr., like back-to-back home runs by a son and, son and father duo ev- first ever.

DJ, I just got three words for everybody, millions of listeners tuned in, three words for LeBron James.

Cherish these moments, man.

And I'm saying the same thing with Steph.

He has a little gas in the tank.

If you pair him with Giannis right now, he still can win a ring.

Giannis only missed one-

Yep.
