00:00Coach James Young is badass, betting above the rim is badass, his podcast, he's always

00:06on Coast to Coast talking rap, thank God for him, great coach, great person, he's ugly

00:13though.

00:14Anyway, I want to start with this, we're going to get into the pros, I'm just kidding.

00:20But before I do, yeah, so they went on a ski trip and they got back, there was a blizzard

00:25so they got trapped in the mountains with the snow and they didn't make it back in time

00:30for practice, so Fatso benched her and they had a game last night and she got benched,

00:37she didn't play until like the last two minutes of the game and she still knocked down three

00:43threes or something like that and you know, I was talking to the guy's coach, he saw me

00:49balling the other day, I think on Saturday or something, I was balling and he, maybe

00:57it was Sunday, I don't know, I think it was Saturday and I balled in the morning and then

01:01I balled again, I balled for like four hours and I saw him and he asked me about it and

01:07I said that this woman has sucked the life out of my daughter and that she doesn't love

01:13the game anymore because of this chick and she doesn't know how to coach, she doesn't

01:17know what a screen is, she doesn't know anything and I hate her dead and that the assistant

01:22played for Jasper, as you know, she won a state title, both of her parents played D1

01:26at like Michigan, Notre Dame and then they got this fat thing coaching them, it's the

01:32worst thing that's ever happened, I can't even stand her and I call her every name in

01:36the book, Miss Available, you name it, I never say anything to anybody ever and I, but I

01:41finally told him, he goes, what's the matter with Chop?

01:43I go, she hates the game now because of this chick, she doesn't want to play college basketball

01:48because of this chick, she's not even good enough to because this chick hasn't coached

01:51her or taught her anything, all she does is run around the rim like she's a horse at the

01:55horse track around the rail looking for threes, never had a screen in her life, all she does

02:01is count the days till the season's over, till the games are over, I live to play, right,

02:07every day I live to play, meanwhile I got a kid that this woman sucked the life out

02:11of her, I hate her dead, I really do, I can coach better in a toilet bowl drunk like a

02:16sailor with a big doobie sticking out of my mouth and a corn cob in my ear.

02:22So does that mean you want me to come out of retirement and be the new head coach up

02:27there?

02:28Yes.

02:29Let's be honest folks, listen, I pulled up Chop Suey, her stats, folks, this is what

02:35drives me crazy about basketball, McKellen's got 75 made baskets in her high school career,

02:427 of them are twos, the girl's got 68 threes and 7 twos in her career, I'll give you one

02:53better, he's got 31 threes and 1 two, we got to figure something out, no one cares about

03:01my daughter except you and I and I hope everyone has a miserable day, Mafia hates her too apparently,

03:09he's turned on her too, who hasn't, let's talk about the NBA, I want to pull up the

03:13West first and ask you this question, so I said that I like the Thunder, the Grizzlies

03:19and the Rockets and the other teams are all about ISO superstars, I'm not wrong, you got

03:26Joker, you got Luka, you got Ann Edwards, but these other 3 teams are actual basketball

03:34teams that play basketball and have 5 and have 4 more sitting on the bench that can

03:41ball, they got 9 deep, all 3 of those teams.

03:44Yeah, and what team I'm fading right now, right there plus a 50 is the Dallas Mavericks,

03:48they just got the news that Derek Lively II is coming out for 2-3 months with a foot fracture,

03:53I will say this folks, they took it down on Fandul, I'm going to say this, I don't

03:58think Dallas even makes the playoffs, I don't think they make it, my concern with them is

04:03they're top heavy, Lucas missed 23 games already, Kyrie misses games all the time, they don't

04:09have the depth, so I think you're on to something Pharrell, depth matters, coaching matters

04:15and I was so big on Houston before the season started because take away his transgressions

04:22off the floor, Emi Adoka is one hell of a coach, he's great, hell of a coach and he's

04:28got that team playing well and they're deep, think about this, Reed Shepard don't even

04:33see the damn floor, he doesn't see the floor and he was the number 3 pick and we thought

04:38he may have the best program, he doesn't see the floor, it's thunder, it's nuggets, it's

04:48rockets, then there's a drop off, but it'll be interesting to see what happens, right,

04:52the trade between Utah and Phoenix, that's a lineup for them trying to get Jimmy Butler,

04:58right, a 20-31 pick, Magnus P don't care about 20-31, he needs to win now, so he got some

05:05draft capital, look at them, what about a team that I think is, that's not even on that

05:09board, light the beam, I would sell it on them, Doug Christie's done a hell of a job,

05:15that team could make a roar, hey, watch out for them, and I actually think Pharrell, I'll

05:20leave it at this, I think, I think Sacramento's gonna win that division, it was plus 550 on

05:25Monday, it's plus 460 now, I know they have the 8th toughest schedule the rest of the

05:30way, but they're playing well and I got a feeling they're gonna make a move, look out

05:35for someone like Cam Johnson possibly going to somewhere like Sacramento.

05:39How about, what if they won 11 of 12, I said earlier, I got a team that, against the spread

05:45that's been the hottest in January, they were one of the five best and I said that's

05:48because they played the best ball overall in January of any team in the NBA, they've

05:54won like 11 of 12, they've been tearing it up, I said in the East, there's two teams

05:59that matter, it's the Celtics and the Cavaliers, now I know our Knicks beat them in the

06:03playoffs and I know everyone thinks that the Knicks are better than the Cavs, but they

06:07aren't, the Knicks have five, I think the Cavs are 10 deep, I think they're dangerous,

06:14I think they're more exciting, I think the rivalry with the Dunder is the best thing

06:17going in the NBA and if the Knicks play the Cavs right now, I'm betting on the Cavs to

06:22beat the Knicks because they're better and deeper and I think, I think Kenny's, you know,

06:28for my money, I like Kenny as a coach and I think what you said about Aduka, I said

06:34it earlier too, I said Aduka, I said he might very well be the best coach in the NBA, pure

06:38coach, I know Spoh is great and I can sit here and talk about Mazula, but for my money,

06:44despite what he did in the office and hitting on chicks, Aduka can flat out coach, I think

06:49Kenny can flat out coach, the Cavs to me are money and so are the Celtics.

06:54Listen, the Knicks have problems, they got problems, they're dealing with injury concerns

06:59with Brunton, you got the chip bone and the finger of Cat, they don't have depth, you

07:04don't know if Mitchell Robson comes back, they need to make a move, here's what's great

07:07about Cleveland and you said it, Pharrell, it's the sum of their parts, I think they

07:16have like 7, I think they have 8 guys that are averaging 7.6 or more, they can beat you

07:23in different ways and Donovan Mitchell is so much under control, great job by Kenny

07:29Atkinson, I knew he was going to be a great coach when he got another chance, that's part

07:33of the whole thing, I'm going to go with Carr, learn that split-screen action at T-Ball and

07:38bring the player personnel, player development, he's done a hell of a job, he's not the coach

07:42of the year for me, I know they lost last night, to me it's still Jamal Mosley of the

07:46Orlando Magic with all the injuries he's had to deal with.

07:49Fair enough, but I just don't, I'm not afraid of them, it's like last night they got their

07:54ass beat.

07:55Oh no, no, I'm not afraid of them, but you know what I'm not afraid of?

07:59Giving some picks, I'm going to try and give some picks real quick.

08:02Alright, give me those NBA plays.

08:04We're going to go with the Timberwolves on the money line, I think Dallas is in deep

08:07trouble, Pistons, Hawks under, you're like, wait, Pistons, Hawks under, yes, the Pistons

08:12are playing really good basketball, by the way, JB Bickerstaff needs to be talked about

08:15coach of the year.

08:16Cavs, Rockets, under, same thing, I think it's a slowdown, grindout, two really good

08:21games in the NBA, and then the Kings, 7 point spread over the Warriors, I think the reign

08:26is over in Golden State, it's time to rebuild.
