production and we go back and rewind What the [ __ ] was P talking about talking about them boy Man listen First off I need an apology Straight up You talking that [ __ ] Yeah it’s 1-1 but [ __ ] that first game you was talking like they was going to come out or you was talking like to me it it it sounded like you can rewind this tape right like the Lakers were the Celtics Yeah they got two Hall of Famers right now They got two big wigs right but boy you can’t go into it My my philosophy I not played against David Robinson and Timmy right i done played against uh Dirk and uh Stevie I not played against Elijahan uh Barkley bro And I played against some [ __ ] When you go into it if you looking at look if you looking at the bully like you can’t knock the bully out you beat up already So the mentality that I see a walk around with man when I saw Obama when I saw the Obama content and Obama poke him hey y man you need to calm down Yeah man like on some combat [ __ ] Well y’all better stand down man When he said that bro you do You know in a room of titans and and a [ __ ] poke you bro and you st bro that said a lot about him standing up on what he own man I mean I work on this I’m dedicated to what I’m putting out here This is my brand This is my product I didn’t see no way in way in no way in shape or form if they had a way to win that he go in there less than that And they followed his lead That first game they was moving the ball Everybody was on point He was playmaking He didn’t score a lot but his playmaking was up through the roof It was in 99 Second game everybody wanted to be the hero Everybody went ISO ball The Lakers was a lot more physical They they they showed up on them They got And then Brian went into that Okay Y’all he went into that Bron go and then come I saw a little bit of that He ain’t really hit the gas on them but I saw him hit gas at points where he was like “Now y’all going to get out of here tonight.” You know what I’m saying cuz I thought Minnesota just didn’t play well Second game but they was if they’ played well that have been a better game I didn’t really see the Lakers going you know what I’m saying they they just went like you know this is enough to beat y’all Like okay cool It was like Minnesota settled on that first game They did I you know what I think i think they celebrated after the I think one that [ __ ] got back to the room like “Yeah hey [ __ ] Hey come on [ __ ] Yeah hey it was going.” You know what I’m saying they wasn’t ready for the intensity of game two because the Laggers came out hella in I mean I’m talking about getting all in I was like “Oh shit.” Look they had a hard practice Yeah They came in on Easter JJ was yelling JJ was yelling He went back to He went back to the grit Hey look here No it’s no way this team more aggressive than us No way Biggest game for JJ at that point in his career right not going down over that was a big game for him For sure He had That was a must win In no way and shape did I know did I think they was going to go down 02 I mean Nas Reed and McDaniel was the two obvious that stood out right cuz I’m looking at like this P Randall and Na uh uh Edwards got to counterbalance uh Luca and Braun right austin Reed is the third solidifier right so Minnesota to me that’s Nas Reed That’s Nas Reed or McDaniels They were going to collectively have to meet up where Austin Reeves is You know what I’m saying so I’m looking at matchups like this and if they’re not doing that bro then you know if Minnesota shoots the ball a little better we talking about something totally different But all that being you know man going to show some respect and I don’t think he going to be man He shot it man Shot that [ __ ] at Luca He Luka hold that shot Don’t make that noise though That was crazy No here you go Here you go The wheel Don’t be weird Don’t be weird I just said it Shot him with the whale Okay don’t be weird No that’s a win They don’t know what you hear but you good You good You good i’m good Lord McDaniels and Reed 48 points combined in game one Game two 17 points combined for them And another thing that stood out they had 21 threes in the first game shot 50 51% Game two only five threes made for Minnesota Well this is the thing I thought in game one they passed made the extra pass for the three whereas in this game they just went and took the three like Nazare just came down a couple times just off the dribble and just shot it And same you know with a lot of them cats they didn’t let the play develop into the open three I just felt like they forced it They was like “We can do the same thing game one.” They just started launching them and it took them out their rhythm Lakers took you give credit to the credit to the Lakers They took them out their rhythm cuz I was like the Lakers was like I’m talking about from Vincent to Brian I’ve seen me leaving Luca Donish pick up at half court getting up on this man and you could tell that was the emphasis get up on your man make them drive we going to help and we going to recover and let’s see if they can finish out the rim and they and they wasn’t able to get there I mean it it was it was a it was it wasn’t a great game by the Lakers because it was up and down They went up a lot and but they kept letting them back in the game It was a point in the fourth quarter to like the Lakers missed like seven eight shots in a row and then Minnesota couldn’t capitalize because they turned the ball over three or four times in a row and it was just like it was a sloppy game but it was a it was a typical early 2000s playoff game That’s what it looked like right 85 points by Minnesota in game two Lewis did not score this year And then two if I’m being a one it felt like the first game felt like a Minnesota playoff team The second game felt like a regular season Minnesota team They resorted to regular season habits No ball movement with the the we listen Minnesota is valuable when all weapons are firing When you got Alexander when you got when you got Connley when you got Randall when you got all them fire McDaniel when you got all the help firing they hitting the corner threes Nah they everybody was playing for themselves last night And guess what rudy’s not good enough to play by himself You he needs your playmaker He needs you to get in here dump it off to him You know what I’m saying and then my assessment of Ant I didn’t think he came out and set the tone like for trying to win a game too I thought he kind of sat back you know for the first quarter You trying to get a game too initiate You got to come set the tone like he did in Denver Yeah Go watch it in Denver First couple plays he he took a one on four He was just initiating Yeah I think he did that He kind of sat back and tried to see where the flow was going to go They messed him up though They played like a a man zone You remember we used to play a thing called um 51 51 in Boston was this thing where uh do called five and five was a matchup but when he called one it was like play your area Yeah You had to pass it off They was sitting in his lap but you got to find areas to where he can get the ball and have those drives I think if you get the ball like in the mid post or in the corner I always thought the corner you couldn’t really elbows the corner Like if you swing swing for me in the corner and if I can get to the middle I can make more of a play Hit his perspective y’all You know what I’m saying i would just get to the middle Yeah I can get to the middle easier See if I’m at the top and a guy sitting on a free throw and a guy in the middle is where I’mma go But if I if you set up a play to where it start on one side and it come around and I catch it in the corner I can get to the middle So now somebody got to help from the top or in the middle and now I can just start finding people Boom It made it easier or or in that mid post for me to like loosen up my offense because now okay if I’m finding ticket over there and I’m finding Ray they like all right they ain’t going to help next time I’m at the rim now So it’s crazy speaks from this perspective As a defender I would knowing that he wants to come off to the middle I would automatically take it off I would have to make them throw it to the big cuz he got to pop get it Then I’m going tell my big to drop and I’mma drive Paul baseline and that’ll blow up the whole play It’s crazy that when you always speak office I always always see what you’re saying from a defensive perspective on how to guard it And then I’m saying baseline is tougher to help on on a drive No elbow Think about when Cole Mike uh great offensive players VC yourself we had the joint where you come up fake the joint come off catch it the elbow Elbow bro you can’t really help If you’re in the corner you give up a three If you’re at the top you give up a top three Two of the easiest threes in the league Corner in the top So he got to Listen I rather him go in make make this guy come boom shot now Boom shot corner shot Three Like first game I understood where he when he held up Second game I just felt like everybody was out there on their own and they had no continuity that came from the fouls Soon as these other players came in they hadn’t had no rhythm with them They wasn’t thinking dribble hands off It wasn’t the same continuity So when I saw that man it didn’t look the same So I say this setting up going back to many what what do you bring with you Pete what do you got to do first game who who has the more desperation to win game three what the Lakers do because uh to game uh they got to get their home court back But I feel like Minnesota is gonna gain energy from the crowd and the role players is going to play better Like I think Connley is going to be better I think McDaniels and Rudy go he got to be a force He getting the ball on the inside and he he not going up like strong and he have to they not calling it Pete and they not calling they letting him they letting him hit him and he has to be big enough to he got to go up and dunk that thing or at least attempt Yeah You know another thing I’m saying you know what TP it seems like the more aggressive team gets the whistle Yep The more aggressive team gets the whistle and they and they are dictating the play And I think Minnesota got to run more They faster than like they got to use the crowd to run more cuz they faster than the Lakes They can get out Antman you can’t stop Ant-Man going full speed Like if he get the ball on the outlet boom I think they got to I got the that’s going to create transition threes and layups If I’m coach I’m showing game one This is how we got to be at home It’s got to be game busters I think Nas Reed I think Demon Chingzo and McDaniel have to have big games I’m talking over 15 points If they don’t have over 15 points P all three of them it’s going to be a tough night bro And you know what man luca loves to target center He do What he got real estate in there man Luka holling at Snoop told the big folk you ain’t [ __ ] Yeah man Get y’all Y’all what y’all talk man looked at the Garnet Center was like “Man what y’all looking at?” Yeah he got a he got a he got a suite in the Target Center He got a couple sweets up there man Hey hey damn They going to shut that down though Soda going to be right No he comfortable He comfy The good thing about Minnesota they playing I think they playing Braun well I think so too And they keeping him under control considering which levels I think he can go to cuz you know we not seen him go to looked like he got tired at the end too Bron Man where’s uh man who do you Okay you got the big three over there Who do you need production from austin I think he going to step up next game because I feel like the pressure of the playoffs sometimes can get you at home to where it create nervousness to where like you go on the road you kind of a little more comfortable I don’t know Sometimes I I sometimes I felt more comfortable on the road Game three I figured out what was going on cuz he was he he was getting wide open looks he wouldn’t normally hit He would normally hit It take you about three games to figure it out Like game three I already know you gonna play me this way I already know it’s you guarding me versus it was him It’s game four Game three for me bro Game two hell yeah Cuz game two game one hardest game to ever play Game one I’m getting I’m feeling everything They not my call the first four minute I’m I’m feeling 100% Man [ __ ] elbow You You feel like three elbows you feel me we get to game three I know how he going to play me I know I know the energy I know what he’ll go for And now it’s a chess game I may set up something and I ain’t never show nobody I may go left hand just so that he responds to it So when I turn he go it’s it’s like I don’t know for you but as we went on in the series I actually adjusted I adjusted so much better And it ain’t no pressure on the road man When you’re on the road it’s you You got to get ready for you When you at home man it’s 90 things you balancing throwing Think about when you’re at home bro Man I feel like game four get real because if you ain’t down 3 0 and it’s 2-1 that’s the hardest game because it’s hard to go up 3-1 and then you fighting to get back to 22 You know what I’m saying and then about time see this is the thing Game one you don’t know what’s happening Everybody trying to figure each other out One and three bro Yeah How pivotal is a game three when it’s 1-1 that’s what I’m saying I’m telling you game three is momentum bro He gave you his perspective Like so for me it was four So this I look at game one was like what they game plan going to be to stop whatever I’m doing or whatever we doing for them figuring it out jab out there So say we won game one boom boom boom Oh they made the adjustments game two So now we come back game three with our adjustments Three different adjustments been made now right by time you get to game four you know what’s happening now You know everything they going to do They know everything you going to do We’re still adjusting DP No because look game because four is the most pitable go when it if it’s 2-1 after game three fighting to get back in the series because it’s even hard to get to 3-1 Y So that game is like that game going to get played hard as [ __ ] You know what I’m saying you fight for 22 and you fighting to go up 3-1 to step on them you know so that game right there is a pivotal game cuz if you get that 3-1 you feel like oh we got him When you get that 2-2 you like I swung back Like you know what I’m saying that game 3-1 I had a 3-1 and blew that [ __ ] No we ain’t had no 3-1 We did We had We ain’t never had We had Miami We had Miami 3-2 We ain’t never been We ain’t been a [ __ ] I ain’t never been Same [ __ ] I was like “We got these [ __ ] bro We got them dog We ain’t never had a 3-1 We weren’t a part of that one No we had a 3-2 We had 32 We had 3-2 in the finals And we had 3-2 We had a 3-2 in.” And this [ __ ] We had 3-2 in the finals in 210 Clone bron That wasn’t even a real bronze And we had 3-2 That was a clone Miami We had the 3-2 going back to LA remember no I’m talking about Speaking of uh the the that did you guys watch the episode in BU episode the Celtic City i saw the second half I got to rewatch I saw the last 30 minutes Yeah I saw it I missed the uh beginning part of it Sorry Oh you you the whole beginning church I missed the I saw the end like the last 30 Yeah What what comes back to your mind when you see some of that old footage you know some of it you may have never seen Uh but just curious your guys thoughts about I got I got to see it I got [ __ ] with you bro [ __ ] with you I got to see it [ __ ] with you It takes you back Like I was I out was sitting there I told you how I’ve been watching the games I’m in dark LEDs on you know look like red and meth in this [ __ ] You feel me but I’m in that in that type of zone so I can really absorb and I’m watching certain [ __ ] When I watch Sel City man it just man I found myself like really going back reliving certain [ __ ] you know uh you know and just man I had to yeah I had to I had to I had to turn it off if I’m being honest It gave me chills There’s certain stuff I don’t even remember seeing like footage of It brings you back Didn’t know you they had the footage of certain things You you know what I’m saying and it’s good to like really see when you go back and see like the all of it The origins of us coming together what we look like We look I look different and how we came and like we shaving our heads bald and going through that I’m like damn The duck boat for me man was so magical cuz I remember Doc taking a a moment where he was like “Yeah you hear that you feel that?” And I was like we was like kind of like sitting there I was like “What?” And I was looking around because it’s a moment where you come up on the bridge and the little duck boat go up on the bridge You see this bridge kind of follow you He was going around as he’s saying this he’s do picking it out Look there’s going to be a ton of people right here and they going to be and there’s going to be confetti in there and and we in there Pete Pete right here Pete been here for years I said “Bro you ever took a dope?” He was like he was looking like “Oh motherfuck.” Like he was looking like the [ __ ] got on a duck Lord I was like “If this man never been on a duck bro what?” I I couldn’t see it Then he hit me with the line bro That that that’s not when Man that’s the people cheering when he said that That [ __ ] just So when I Yeah that that moment there I And then next thing I know Nate we was in it Lisa in a duck bowl going against I said almost you feel what I’m saying was super [ __ ] man he gave bro cuz I was sitting there if you ever saw me going like this it’s because Doc Rivers said everything that I’m looking at everything that I’m doing I took my hand I looked up one time was like blinking so fast like slap me dog cuz this don’t even feel he said all this so yeah another moment that stood out uh in that episode to me was Bill Russell and you have a conversation he’s like if you don’t get one I’ll share one with you And then fast forward to you on the moment on the floor you win the championship and you hug him and you’re like “Hey I got one.” So that payoff there I got my own Hey listen On some real [ __ ] bro He said he going to give me I felt pressure like I like damn this man earned these [ __ ] I like damn I can’t get we ain’t going to be able to get our own Then he shot something He said “Man you don’t get two or three.” And when he said that I know he know something He said man you really supposed to get two or three I was sitting there like at like like a blank face I didn’t even blink that conversation bro If you go back and look at that interview I look like a substitute teacher first off You know what I’m saying but I wanted to come in there correct I want to come in there polished I did not want to get in front of Bill Russell and and and look relaxed I wanted to look a tentative man Back was straight I heard Shirley in my ear boy You hear me i was in that [ __ ] like this boy I kind of sat back and my back was so straight So I kind of got com Lord I didn’t blink He was talking and saying so You know how the old head be he so mad bro I heard every word bro But man I took that conversation to the grave with me man Him John Thompson man They they they impacted me with words so much that uh yeah I had to I felt that way every time I had a sit down with them Like I was never no le it was just like some words I have a picture of us I don’t know if you remember this at uh your hall of fame when we were all at the table Do you see Web yeah When when when he was talking to us that and we was all leaning listening to his story I got that flick Nobody blinked No Yeah I got that flick Only thing people people like That’s a dope flick Reme like talking to Yod Lord you know what’s crazy he would just go

Turn that down Hey look here Who know how to sew we gonna have a Seb cut He gonna turn it into a party All right The other series out west that’s 1-1 Clippers Nuggets Yeah Yeah Uh Kawhi Kawhi Leonard averaging basically 30 30 and a half points shooting 71% 50 from three 100 from the free throw line What’s your take on the Clippers in Denver closest closest This is probably going to be the most exciting series of round one cuz if the Clippers are healthy and this is what like if the Clippers are healthy and the Kawawaii playing like this and you don’t like James don’t have to be your best player This is the thing James can be just utility He going to have some nights where he great some nights where he just fall but he can be And then you got other cats who could step up like Zubac and Pal and and Bondovich You got so many like weapons over there that they scary They scary though They they these two teams one of these teams could be in the conference finals dog Like if they got to see and I know OKC is looking like a buzzaw right now but they got counters to OKC These two these these are some veteran teams they gonna have to play They not you know Memphis is overmatched Let’s just call a spade a spade They lucky to be in the playoffs But if they got to see one of these teams who got experience who got coaching who got an MVP who got a finals MVP it’s going to be something different And we seeing chess match right here in these this two game that series What’s the adjustment you make if you first off I’m not shocked No I watch should be up 200 Clippers should be up 2 Listen if I I don’t like doing that You know why because Russ Russell Westbrook had to make some plays The offensive rebound they missed the offensive rebound Like stuff has to happen Like you know what I’m saying like it wasn’t just like they went in there and and dribbled off his like you know cause and effect My point So Denver did what they had to do to win it I’m saying this go not not only adjustments that you make but this is the closest series this this going seven Pete And if this doesn’t go seven I would be highly shocked But I actually thought with having um I actually thought the two superstars would cancel each other out I didn’t know if it was going to be James or Kawhai Yeah You know the X factor in this Jamal Murray Jamal Murray show Jamal Murray Hey man don’t Hey hey I’m over here Don’t don’t forget that combination with him and Gordon Now I’m asking who do you need from Denver to step up to be the problem westbrook got to be the expert I mean he been solid Westbrook been solid You need somebody else Your boy Brun somebody I mean I’m asking you listen this is the thing I thought everybody played well Joker let them down in game two with the turnovers bro Like he has five in the second half Yeah Five in the second half Like and you live and die with Joker I about to say now you going you know whatever He great He great You know he whatever But he ain’t going to be having them games no more Clippers had 20 turnovers in the first game and lost Yeah you can’t do that Denver had 20 turnovers in the second game and lost So now both teams is talking about that in their film We can’t turn the ball over We can’t That’s the whole emphasis You know that the film is like if we don’t turn the ball over we going to win So now we going to have game three to where both teams going to have probably low turnovers because that’s what they going to be emphasizing So this is going to be like how you explain it game three It’s going to be that game cuz this can turn the tide right here The momentum when it’s this close Yeah You need this game three right like both teams need this game What are you doing if you the Clipper what’s the adjustments Clippers need to make it’s not on them right now They made the adjustments So they like “All right we got our game plan We got we got to we got to we got to play through our crowd We got to keep Kawhai going and James and James So we got to feed off the momentum It’s all about the Denver making adjustments Now Denver’s over there like how we gonna stop Kawawaii.” I think you double team and then you make you make pow and some of these other people beat you bro You know what the problem is when James is going Zubac is gone They’re almost like a tandem you know cuz you don’t know if he going to lob it or that little float he got going You feel me and James is starting to take that little free throw line Ah that little mid-range when he can’t get there You feel me and his playmaking is on another level right now too bro James sometime I love but there was one play I didn’t like James after he judged the whole thing on No no no It was one play No it was one play cuz Kawhai just hit the jumper to put you up then you come down less than a minute You got to go back to Kawhai You remember I’m talking about the end Like Kawhai stood on the wing But Kawhai got to demand it too I’m like hold on That’s what I’m saying If Ray coming down you over here you just got Ray But it’s still I’m on fire right now Lord it’s it’s Ray But he on fire Ray came down dude 6 feet down there Come on Lord you and you ain’t working to get it and you ain’t calling for it True that But if you like yo yo yo we all know be like run that No it ain’t no run that You know the [ __ ] coming to get you You just hit two three in a row he come to get you Yeah If he don’t recognize that and you ain’t on some like on some Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Nah bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro I’m in it like bro he four feet three point I can make this Yeah man You know what I’m saying so in the situation but I trust James down the stretch too because he makes big shots So I mean I can’t get mad at it And he threw up a shot that he makes That’s what I’m saying You know he throw that runner He makes that That’s what I’m saying And you don’t know if that’s a lob to big fella or if it’s whatever Either way but I like the fact that uh this is going to be nip tough This a dope This is a dope series This feels like chess chess You feel me best series would you say the first round I mean I don’t know because the Lakers in Minnesota’s good Okay I still have to see a couple more games I got to say this man and I ain’t trying to I ain’t even I’m just calling what I’m seeing This is observation man I watched the Memphis Grizzly play man and it felt like they quit on their coach bro They lost their coach No I feel like they’re quitting I feel like I don’t get no sense that they want to be in the playoffs So you call it letting go of the rope You feel that that’s This is not grit and grind to me Yep Ain’t nobody ding the floor Ain’t no hard fouls It don’t feel like It don’t feel like we fighting for it And then guess what it don’t feel like we all on the same It feel like we ready to get the [ __ ] up out of here man It feel 50 points bro Grind bro I feel like first the organization let go of the rope because you fired your coach and you in the playoffs in three weeks Players play for players Pete You know this We play for each other We going to play for Doc We going to play for Flip We’re going to play for Rick We going to play for all these coaches But But you can’t fire your coach three weeks before We still got to be professionals bro Yeah Two teams in the playoffs Come on man Two games in a row we come out looking like dustbusters bro You nah bro And then you guess what you got teams like sack You got teams that are just on that same level that would have gave a better effort than this And then you got a superstar on your team They just not that that good Nah because I look at it I’m just talking about effort bro That’s all I’m talking about Yeah the effort You can’t tell me this is gradea effort You can’t tell me this is top tier NBA [ __ ] effort No [ __ ] way I get it Y’all got blown by 50 You come back out y’all Damn man Man come on bro It’s just that OKC effort is so high It make they effort look like nothing Demon I got you That’s what I’m saying I got you But it can make your effort mix demon and you ain’t in your level And this this grind this a bro I not bro Them [ __ ] ain’t never played like this You can go in their whole year and they ain’t look like this Well I don’t think they got no grit and grind players Like who you look at and say he grit and grind When we talked about what Tony Allen and Zebo laid foundation of them was real grit players man You can’t tell me they they don’t have no tough players J’s a tough player Bang is a tough player And JJ’s a really good players They’re really good players And there’s a difference I ain’t talking about they skill I’m talking about guys who man Bangs are competitive I ain’t see I ain’t seeing no competitive nature in none of the Grizzlies None of that [ __ ] Ain’t nobody took nothing personal Look at Look at [ __ ] Indiana and the [ __ ] uh Bucks You see that series man it’s Chir City [ __ ] Yeah Yeah Yeah Indiana showing grit Yes Like Indiana grit man They playing for each other You hear what I’m saying bro you don’t step on the floor and and and and something happened and ain’t nobody helping you up or ain’t no the bench You know what I’m saying Lord the bench got into it when they made their little run bro I just don’t watch They playing team and they didn’t ran into something that’s on the mission Second Two months ago a month ago they were second They were somewhere in the conversation up there with Houston wasn’t it Nate yeah they were like “Come on man Don’t give me this [ __ ] man Come on man This ain’t gritting grind man.” And they can’t show up to Memphis They can’t show up to Memphis doing that I also think Jaw is is struggling because he a little hurt I think you know he sprained his ankle last week Ain’t nobody 100% Pete But that sprain ankle looked bad They probably Nobody 100% It look like he got some Nova That man went up Man went up two notches Oh he sure did when he went to the elevator room to block that shot Get your ass out of here Left-handed Left-handed He sure did Man I don’t want to hear that [ __ ] bro This is when stars come stars This when superstars this when you become that but OKC look like they on a mission Yeah they on some man They on some sting They on a mission man Man OKC is in They playing They feel like they they feel like they left something on the table They feel like they was number one seed last year We the number one seed by 14 games This year you know what this our year We got Shay he gonna be the MVP Jaylen wants some respect on his name You know what I’m saying you added Hardstein you added Caruso you added all this grit They like “Man this is us.” That’s what it looked like They like “Nah this us if we don’t win it this year it’s a disappointment.” That’s what they look like though First game it looked like they played the perfect game It’s going to get real though No it’s going to get more real cuz you in the jungle now Memphis is a tough place to play I want to see what Memphis team show up I just want to see them fight back I want to see some effort bro I want to see what y’all got the cloth man Come on bro Y’all got stars over here Y’all got Allstars over here There’s no way y’all should come over here and do this They need some fight back That’s all man Damn Let’s get it man Another team that’s 02 and they play Friday is the Bucks Pacers up two-0 on them I looked this up Giannis in his last six playoff games healthy 0 for six He’s lost his last six playoff games Just curious your concern level for a team you know with the talent they have being down 02 and how’s the rest of the series look for them i like Milwaukee at home I’m being honest Um the the Pacers are playing unbelievable as a unit I’m talking about like they got like seven you feel me um Seakams uh playing at a high level Um Hallebert I mean they got they got a cast Nimhard solid Other than other than Giannis I don’t know who’s going to show up to the party It seems like Bobby Porter is going to be at the party right i I can’t really knock name because he he’s been out of a whole thing I’m not going to put that on him but I need some other people to step up I need Brooke to be Brooke I need nephew uh Gary Trent Jr I need every It’s on deck cuz you can’t go down 03 03 is like you know what I mean so this is the game for Milwaukee to not only put them back in play but to them You know what I’m saying like if you can if you can get both of these games man okay cool It back in Yeah And it changed the momentum bro Right now uh Indiana is the more physical team I got to say that They feeling good They comfortable They’re in their space They chirping And you know what they feeding off of Hallebertton too I ain’t seen Hallebertton like this It’s personal P It’s something P He said “I’ll whoop your ass.” Who said that dang He said “I’ll whoop your ass.” Going back to your bench And when you got out here it was Yeah You said what hold that Y [ __ ] Uh yeah Yeah What was you saying yeah It was It was It felt personal The one joint they came down I think they was on the left side He Yeah Where Man Rick call something He went there What what okay Uh uh uh uh Hold that Yeah He went right in his joint like Yeah What’s up what was he backing down and then I seen Dame trying to Bro that ain’t the playoffs But this got a lot more personal like grit in it You feel me like when guys going at each other when they fouling each other when guys hitting the floor I like that man This is this is playoff basketball Yeah I like that And I like that the ref this is a big series because it’s a lot of thing implications that like people saying if Milwaukee get put out I don’t know how long term with Giannis being in Milwaukee you know everybody saying Doc on the hot seat It’s a lot of conversation chitter chatter going around in Milwaukee You know they got to show some fight back I think they will though I think they gonna find a way to even this series in Milwaukee and then and then we going to have a dog fight I think this going to go seven If the Bucks go down 03 do you see those whispers it’s over Do you see the whispers rising they ain’t going to be no whispers It’s going to be loud talk It’s going to get loud This potentially could be the third straight year that the Bucks and Giannis have lost it’s going to be some people getting fresh air if they go down three 0 and get swept I can’t stand today’s league So how long does it take to create culture like come on bro When you coaching guys like Giannis when you coaching guys like Kevin Durant when you coaching guys like LeBron they know they know these it’s no patience bro You act like you playing when you coaching guys like Joic it’s no patience You see these these coaches is out of there when you It’s the pressure of coaching these top tier players because it’s expectations Bro listen to me You act like you can just come in here and you act like you playing against some high schoolers Bro you playing against other professionals with other good teams with other great coaches and other great organizations Bro like just cuz it’s just Brian yeah he’s a good player but if you ain’t got nothing around then yeah they ain’t [ __ ] Same thing with KD Y’all tried three all stars together didn’t work No supporting cast no real center Coach couldn’t even That [ __ ] didn’t work bro It’s not microwave bro But it ain’t it ain’t it ain’t that it ain’t that you got to win a championship bro You got you got but because you got to you got to be competing for one Like say say like if Milwaukee get to the conference finals or even if Phoenix they was in the top four Use Cleveland Cleveland is a perfect example what I’m talking about A team that had potential They was barking with uh New York uh three years ago for the fourth and fifth and we was talking about what the fourth best team in the East was and it was Cleveland The next year from that they was talking second and third or if not the same fourth position Cleveland is damn near number one for the reason and they built that coach They changed the coach Yep But that that that stay that same nucleus Guys got better They they they developed and now through some trades years this they’ve been together two years man been together two I think this their third year together This third year bro Yeah And after the first year there was Hey man You can’t play them tunes You can’t play Garland in there There was a bunch of these same whispers but they got better every year What I’m saying is bro you have to stay with it You all this changing out but I got to see progression I ain’t see no progression in these other situations Tell me in that situation where you switching and [ __ ] If if you go in the middle make a cake and you got the ingredients in you put it in the oven then you see hold Oh [ __ ] Take it back out Oh man I didn’t pour any milk And you pour bro that’s gonna taste totally different look different The the the texture that’s gonna look totally different Do you understand what I’m saying bro bro this I I cannot stand today’s microwave system bro Coach is not built in a two-year form that in the form of where we not seen it Yeah I know it’s the new lens but bro you can’t build nothing like that Yeah I got it You got a great player but you also had a great player and gave everything all the toughness around him away Then you fired a coach That’s not on Joker bro That’s on management managing that whole [ __ ] If you keep Bruce Brown you keep Uncle Jeff you keep uh the boy that went to uh [ __ ] uh uh KCP bro We not even talking the same [ __ ] right now bro Guess what that have been four years that team been together and they won it bro That’s what I’m saying bro Then you add No Braun would have got better Uh uh the boy uh I’m going blank on all these little youngas but then they would have got better on top of these guys bro It wouldn’t have been no [ __ ] uh Rockets It wouldn’t have been no uh uh uh uh Memphis That’s what I’m saying bro You got to stay in there man You got to stay in there bro Yeah but it just I’m just what I’m saying Let me walk you over though If you said it like that then you know it’s certain players that you coach that it’s pressure on them jobs and the top guys the top dogs KD Bra LeBron Giannis Giannis Joking and Luca’s in that mix too Yeah But Luca went to the finals So every last year Edwards is in there Jaw’s in there Well Edwards is starting to get in there I’m just talking about who got potential to man J can beat you Anthony Edwards I’m talking about I’m saying certain franchise guys pressure on them to win a championship You got John Morant in his prime You got It’s no pressure on him to win a championship now though I got you Like when you got KD we got to win a championship When I got Joker when I got Giannis LeBron Steph we got to win a championship with them You know what I’m saying so this more pressure on them than the young Oh it’s more of a urgency Milwaukee never recovered from um Middleton Well Middleton got hurt Well Middleton [ __ ] this [ __ ] up They never plugged that hole You know what you should have went and got a player for player when you could have Lord sat out like a a super long time You never got to display him You couldn’t really see what he had You understand i like Koozma but Koozma at this point I’m watching him Not a lot of playoff uh traits If anything he’s been in them systems where that second and third effort that you need to play off That’s the thing You don’t have to develop You can you don’t though You can you can plug cuz I saw Golden State plug I didn’t seen them go from Barnes to KD KD to Wiggins You know what I’m saying if you get them right Wiggins developed Wiggins to Butler He developed Yeah Wiggins to Butler I see that like some it’s it’s different That’s patchwork And they still is good patches because I surrounded my superstar They stealing that [ __ ] up Ain’t no Whereas Milwaukee they did the elite patchwork cuz you can still patchwork or you could develop You know what I’m saying milwaukee changed their identity Yeah So like they chose Dame and the offense Yeah Which is not a bad patchwork putting Dame That’s not bad But now you needed one more You need one more over there Big fella gone Who milwaukee need KD Milwaukee needs a KD or like a Booker They need a They need another [ __ ] to come over there They formula works like this We got a three-headed monster then Brook Lopez to kill you I like Booker cuz Brook Lopez can hit threes You know he’s obviously getting not that little solid assassin Him and Bobby Porters you don’t put them on the list right that’s when they come in get them offensive rebounds hit them corner threes hit them top threes and then they then whoever they guarding they in somebody’s at You know what I’m saying so when those two can play now they’re on the board So guess what they’re being planned for They need another [ __ ] to come in there and just like “Hey look let me take this off you Dame Hey I got you know what I’m saying i can you know,” type [ __ ] They don’t have a big three right now And they need a three in this in this new This one They do Huh yeah they do They do If if Jonas played with another cuz they never like I’m saying they never filled the Middleton So I’m seeing them right there You know how you like who who you like in the Knicks in uh Knicks in Detroit i mean the Knicks got more experience but I think Detroit is more well-rounded and so I gotta go with them They got good coaching I don’t Yeah depthwise Uh you know they got good really good role players I think it’s too much on Brunson Like he shouldn’t have to average 35 like on a team like that On a team like that Yeah You know I feel like you got to get some of these other casts off because they can help you Andrew Nobi uh Cat Cat what’s the other uh Brooklyn Bridges bridges Like I think Brunson has to do a better job at consolidating that part right there If I’m being honest Lord don’t nobody actually look like they want it He He want it Well it’s the way they system is built It’s like all right give Jaylen the ball and get the [ __ ] out the way Yeah And then if he scoring he got that L Listen when he come down on the left side and he in his mix you really can’t you really can’t even say nothing cuz he going to instant offense right i get it I get it But you got to call for some other [ __ ] though I don’t like the way they offensive Yeah I don’t like how they not they don’t really have an offensive balance I’m looking for Cat I’m looking for my dog to be down now He got Tobias on him Next leading score after 35 and a half 16 and a half by Towns So 19 point drop They got to do they got to do more to get him involved in Yeah you know they they he’s he’s sitting at the perimeter too much waiting to catch it on at the at the top or the wing and he has to make his plays all from right there when he has a clear advantage Like I like to get them closer to the basket where it’s at the elbow the post where you mixing it up a little more We going to go three mid-range posts and then like let them mix from that But you got to have creative ways of getting him the ball Like start on one side get it to the other side to where he couldn’t you know based on catch it Quick move boom like “All right pick and pop right here.” Boom At the free throw line Uh you know it’s just it’s just too they offense is too predictable and it’s too dependable on Brunson Five five less shots in the playoffs as opposed to Last year when Minnesota used him they used him in the post not Rudy They used him in the post to be the the centerpiece and he dominated uh Gordon He dominated everybody that he that they I think Memphis I I forget who it was but it was some nice force that he dominated right and that was the difference to me in Minnesota winning a lot not being all on Ant I’m figuring that the the Knicks need to use him like this He has Tobias Harris on him That’s what I’m saying He’s not offensive rebounding when he’s at the three-point line That means you’re not getting second and third shots and he’s not active I’m I’m actually waiting on them to play him and Mitchell Butler Mitchell Robinson together You know what I’m saying i’m waiting on them two to be in there to be because the one thing that’s apparent with Detroit is they going to be physical for 48 minutes and they running to the offensive rebound Three four guys sometimes Three four guys going to the offensive rebounds mean sometimes every other one we’re going to get And when you getting second chance points bro they got a superstar that can beat you over there too You understand and they got a bunch of uh road players that’s confident right now So if I’m the niche man I think I change it If I should go big and I get a lot more aggressive they got to get like P said man I think you need to implement OG a little more He could be implemented a little more I think he’s just playing way too much D And then like we always say with Tails man he needs to trust that bench a little more man Yeah Detroit uh going back home for game three First time they’ve had a playoff game there This going to be rowdy Detroit man What up though they going to be lit boy So everybody going to be having their change So cold in the D Hey Uh shout out to the D What else jro Well you know what I’m saying speaking of the Pistons Joe Dumar gets a front office gig with the Pelicans Scott Perry goes to the Kings We’ve seen a lot of young analytical kind of GMs hop in as of late These are now seasoned kind of vet guys in basketball Do are we seeing a change here with front office stuff i think so Pete think we’re going to start seeing this type of traditional um at least uh from the basketball operation side Um when you look at um um um franchises like Detroit Pistons guys like Joe Dum Mars who won him and Scott Perry uh I think they was in um uh Detroit together or or Scott Perry comes from uh excuse me Scott Perry went to the Kings actually Yeah Then they was with the Knicks for a little bit Yes sir What I’m saying is the tradition of that coach and then going to these other teams and helping operations is important I think a player like Joe Dumos who played with countless allstars has uh been with Grant Hill to Isaiah Thomas to he’s won it He’s actually been through the the bad boy stages to Ben Wallacees to She’s the the chanties So having a player like uh Zion Williamson you can actually build something on him Feel me and I think we always say fresh air If anybody can use Joe Dum Mars right now I think it’s the Pelicans and Zion Williamson just to have a not only some fresh air but some refreshing fresh air You know what I’m saying i think both of them are going to actually uh do some good things there I think both organizations that they went to actually need what they bring One thing that Dumar did say he was non-committal about Zion’s future with the team Yeah And then two it comes down to if Zion wants to play A lot of times when players miss a lot of games I get it his medical staff and all that [ __ ] or is he happy in uh New Orleans i don’t listen I would love to hear from Willie Green and I would love to hear from players but when I watch body language when you fall or when you come to the bench Lord Lord wasn’t available Willie Green couldn’t even get potentially to to really see if he could actually lead a good team grow a young team He didn’t even have his superstar You know what I’m saying the [ __ ] quit Yo let’s just keep going They quit bro They did They quit bro [ __ ] quit That’s why Joe Dumos is talking like that Zion I don’t know where you at my boy but you got to lock in bro You got a chance to be something special And I said this on the countless times So now we not nitpicking at nothing man We just see something that you can be man You can be great bro Tap in bro But I’m saying these guys don’t want to be coached hard I’m saying Willie Green he coaching them hard He telling them how it is I saw that from Mike Malone He coaching them hard What’s easy what’s easy Pete name something easy They don’t like They don’t like that no more And it start at the grassroots you say something to a kid that feel like you disres It’s not disrespect but I’m coaching you And I remember like how Doc used to get on some cats he’s and and some players get offended He and Doc will yell back “Well I’m just trying to coach you you know.” And I started seeing that you know on the way out It was just like damn these young kids ain’t feeling that type of coaching no more And that’s that’s I don’t like it And it’s like damn how do you figure out how do you push certain buttons from certain kids that you know the players run the league it’s like you can’t even coach no more So like now moving forward with this new generation how you get the most out of them because once they get their money and they establish their brand and they feel like they on top of the world it’s like the the the the competitive size or or or the winning part of it it just don’t it just don’t even matter no more I feel like it’s like I’m I’m a brand and my image is this way and I run you know I’m popping like I don’t see the competitive spirit no more of like damn it ain’t no grit no grind Like we saying we ain’t seeing that in Memphis We ain’t seeing in New Orleans and this is our young future I’m seeing it in Orlando though I’m seeing it over there They showing me some grit but it ain’t everywhere You know what I’m saying it just it just feels like all of that is being phased out Think about it like once our generation our generation remember they phased out all the enforcers you remember that so no more Oakley Rick Mahorn all they Mason Ben Wallace all them they phased that out now I’m seeing the NBA phase out like the competitive spirit it looked like it’s a business it’s content it’s content it’s access it’s getting to know him personality It ain’t no drive no more Like think Yeah Like who who who what players you seeing out there like damn he man he’ll run through a wall like right there Like you can know and I’m talking about from the young superstars like they they they good but it’s a it was a different level of competitiveness in our generation It’s like yeah they compete but it don’t just seem like you know it’s a lot of jersey swapping after the game you know like you you was never gonna do that Like I was never doing that Like we we could be cool and and everything And it was never let me pick you up off the ground after the game huh we went It was like damn But that’s what help us keep our edge too you know and y’all could be friends and all that That’s cool But it just feels like Oh man y’all Like I’m I’m salty after we lose I I don’t I don’t feel like going up to you doing this after we lose Like I just don’t feel like doing that Not right now Let me go in the back and get over this And it’s just it’s just not there dog And that’s why all these coaches is getting fired because of the attitude of these players not wanting to be coached Well I got to say this bro The younger generation don’t want no accountability Per Exactly And if you going to get better we got to identify what you don’t do well Got to identify what you flaw I want to hear it If I can’t identify what you don’t do well how can you fix that and be better like the idea of coaching bro is gone So this is what happens when you give a [ __ ] anything They feel like they don’t have to listen to everything You forgot how you actually got here to actually get everything right you listened you learned you grew and you developed The minute you stop listening all four of them things go out the window bro Right so if I can’t coach you then what am I doing giving you direction and then I got to pick and choose when you going to take that and not So guess what coaches don’t want to actually show up and deal with no players like that So guess what mike Malone is probably looking like man first off the NBA feels like a daycare sometimes bro Cuz you got to micromanage not only egos but emotions You got to entitlement It’s [ __ ] on the on the joint thinking they better and da da and here come the whispers bro Ain’t nobody focusing on the teams that are focusing on winning and helping you be better and understanding that Yeah I think all that is phasing out But it goes back to accountability Nobody wants to be accountable that they bounced it off their leg and [ __ ] it up Nobody wants to be accountable to say “Yeah I didn’t get back I didn’t crack back I didn’t block some out.” Bro that’s that’s all coaching is And development is is you understanding flaws getting confidence with those flaws and bettering those things that you don’t do well Bro if you can’t take that direction yeah you don’t need to be in here because this is a room full of development This is a room full of absorbing knowledge for you to be better If you don’t come in here with that why the [ __ ] are you at practice what to come in here joke with the guy ain’t nobody in here joking [ __ ] showed up on Easter to get ready for some real [ __ ] Monday bro You can’t come in here with anything other than that You’re not me It’s the jungle bro And when we when we start clearing the jungle out and you could see and it was and it was sun Guess what

hold on dog Right What they pay for Boston people came to see the ticket So let me give him the ticket That’s too much That’s too much I’m in here like a wolf [ __ ] It was too much It was no too much [ __ ] If you ain’t with the level get the [ __ ] off the court So that’s the thing I was like damn Nobody playing with no steam It was personal with me and Toran Walker It was personal with it It was too much It was personal with me and Bet And guess what it was personal with them It was personal with She Timmy uh Dice But if I’m if I’m the leader I can go through a list It was personal I don’t know if it’s personal I got to stand up to it If I’m the leader and everybody looking at I got to stand up to this Hold on dog We ain’t about to be happy But that’s what I’m saying That’s what I was He was full throttle King swinging in this [ __ ] boy He was like “Yo this [ __ ] Alfa in the room.” Hold on Ticket Hold on Ticket He had to step his level up right i love you boy That was funny That right there that’s that’s that’s not New Land [ __ ] New Lens [ __ ] is I went out to dinner with y’all last night We going to play today and then we going to go after dinner You know it’s it’s that you always tell the story about the MJ comparison When things around you look unfamiliar it’s time to go But the line started to get blurred way before that So when do you think it started so when I went back to Minnesota for Brooklyn knowing that this was my last stint I started to see it there Pete you probably got to Washington and saw similar [ __ ] that I saw When I come when I come in the locker room I’m used to sitting in the locker room halftime and then I’m going “Hey what we doing on pick and roll we talking about the game [ __ ] you know drinking Gatorade getting the lead wrap all type of shit.” Well I came in the uh the locker room First off nobody was in the locker room Damn I went to the uh training room Everybody in the training room chilling leg up phone Hey hey babe Hey girl You ch this halftime So you know I’m OG All right Hey hey man Let me see everybody in the locker room for a second So everybody you know I was like “Yo bro what’s this?” And then uh Rubio Rubio just said “Yeah man Nobody wants to talk man Everybody’s on their [ __ ] phones man We need to figure out the [ __ ] pick and roll.” Like Rubio had a old school kind of but that was the first time I got to see like this new lens Yeah And I went to Rubio and Zack because uh Rubio Rubio Zack and Wiggins was like Wiggins wasn’t vocal but he was like a little leader So I pulled them aside like “Listen this what we on.” And I had to come to like a not in an understanding agreement but with an understanding I’m respect y’all young [ __ ] that y’all the future but I’m also the OG in here and I got to put some of this this traditional [ __ ] in here Y’all can be on your phones Let’s talk about what we going to do for five minutes before the coaches come in here And they and they and they went with it But that was the first time I start seeing uh that type of uh [ __ ] going on in the league Another thing I’m a clean dude Super clean Like old old school like OCD kind of clean So in the lockers bro you got a locker bro Your stuff you put it in like a like a little net Zip it up and put it right here The guy comes and picks it up put it in And it’s also a bin here so you can throw it in the bin Man all these young [ __ ] was dirty as [ __ ] man I stop Stop Hey man All y’all come in here Come in here Every [ __ ] Hey man Hey man Look Stand by your locker Hey man My [ __ ] look We going to keep a clean locker room Y’all understand what I’m saying to y’all everybody look down in their locker you got some [ __ ] in your locker Clean it up right now Coach give me five minutes Boom So I had to come in here and put a sense of ogeness and you know uncle here you know whatever you want to call it But I had to come in here and implement it because I had no leaders in here and it was puppies leaving puppies Yeah And so when you have a vet in here young fellas coming up to me asking me all type of personal stuff all type of [ __ ] So when you have that OG in there he does that organizing We come here we ain’t playing hard enough Hey hey hey almost kind of how you heard Hasslam be in the locker room when he was with the Heat But guess what he’s doing he’s implementing culture that comes from where he created and now he’s implemented into the young If you don’t have that man that transition misses You understand sometimes that transmission or that that bridge that you want to create with the young it misses sometimes So all I was trying to give Zack Cat and Wiggins Rubio and all those young guys was some structure They didn’t keep it together but that was my articulation of OG being in the locker room But that was my first time starting to see the league change dramatically All the boxes going [ __ ] rocking music Music music super loud [ __ ] Yeah I was like yo this this look like 16 This look like the hood boy Where we Where we at right now boy so I had to actually come in and put some organization And I wasn’t I ain’t going to say I was the most um liked cuz when you come in you put some structure to things Yeah That stops all the fun because it needs to be a certain level of seriousness in here Y’all can have some fun Let’s win And you know what let’s beat they ass and then come in here and do this So I would I would come in there like this but respecting the young guys at the same time You know what I’m saying all right Let’s do some
