00:00Shea Gilchrist with 45 last night, a career high.

00:07What happens to that team?

00:09I know they have the depth, but they lose Holmgren to the pelvic fracture.

00:12Honestly, for real, they just got to stay afloat.

00:17They just have to stay afloat at this point.

00:22And you look at obviously the play of SGA, everybody was writing them off, and they just

00:25go and they smack the Clippers.

00:27And scoring a little bit differently, right, 134 points showed their offensive muscle.

00:32They also have to make sure they get Hartenstein back.

00:35Listen, those are their two best rim protectors and shot blockers.

00:39If I am teams, I'm attacking the paint.

00:42So to me, folks, you maybe need to be looking at overs with Oklahoma City, because I think

00:47for real, they're going to have to try and outscore you from the perimeter, because they

00:50don't have the rebounding, and they don't have necessarily the rim protection to hold

00:55for.

00:56And to be honest, he's sitting on all those draft picks.

00:58I don't think he panics for real, but if he's got to go get a big, he's got a lot of draft

01:03picks at his disposal to go get somebody.

01:06So I got to tell you, I watched the Nets win that game last night in the smoothie on Bourbon

01:11Street.

01:12And obviously Cam Thomas has been filling it up since LSU, and he's a great scorer.

01:19He's lighting it up for them.

01:21I got to tell you, they look a lot better than I thought they would look.

01:26I think Jordy's doing a good job of them.

01:28And I got to be honest, I thought, you know, in the burn that he gets, like, I thought,

01:33and listen, I am not a Ben Simmons fan.

01:35This guy's softer than pillows.

01:38All I know is, is that when he's playing healthy, he was dry, he had like 10 dimes in 12 minutes

01:45last night.

01:46I mean, the guy was dishing to everyone easy buckets, and they won that game.

01:52Well, listen, first things first, I think fans will hung, and I talked about it yesterday

01:56on the app.

01:57I took us over rebound, false assist, I think it was like 10 and a half.

02:00I think he got it by halftime.

02:02So to me, it's a couple of things.

02:05One, he's not starting, right, Pharrell?

02:07So the pressure's off of him, right?

02:10He doesn't have to score.

02:12He can get in, he can dime people up, and let's be honest, New Orleans has four starters

02:17out that just lost Alvarado.

02:20They are a damn mess.

02:23I mean, they need a hospital ward for that damn team.

02:27They're losing so many of them.

02:29But secretly, the Nets, who had the lowest win total, I think 18 and a half, 19 and a

02:34half, Pharrell, they got five wins.

02:37And Jordy's done a good job.

02:39So listen, they're exciting, they're fun to watch.

02:43Camp Thompson's showing more of a commitment to the defensive end.

02:46He's not just chucking up shots.

02:48I think Dennis Schroeder has been really good.

02:51You know, the kids, Iron Williams that they got out of the tree, he's been good.

02:55Pharrell, they're a young team, they're just fun to watch.

02:59I mean, they gave the Celtics overtime a nightmare at the Garden in Boston Friday night.

03:04I watched the game, it was kick-ass.
