00:00
To win it all at the break, Celtics and Thunder miles away from everybody else.
00:07
And then the Cavs, Nuggets, Knicks, Lakers, Bucs, Grizzlies, some big numbers with those
00:13
teams a little further down the board.
00:15
But Bucs and Thunder are, I mean, Celtics and Thunder are your favorites.
00:20
I mean, look, every time I've watched Boston, when they want to win, they win.
00:25
When they want to play, they can flick the switch, ACDC style, flick it a switch.
00:32
They are pouring in buckets and scoring from everywhere.
00:36
And they literally are 10 deep.
00:38
I mean, they are, I mean, their third strength center, Cornett, is a monster.
00:45
I mean, the guy will get every rebound, put back, dunk, and hang from the rim with his
00:49
legs and his onions in your face.
00:52
The kid Pritchard, he's 14 a game coming off the bench.
00:57
He's like, in my world, six man.
00:59
I mean, this guy comes in every night and just deals.
01:03
There's no one beating that team in the East.
01:07
No one.
01:08
I don't care about the Cavaliers record, the Knicks, the Knicks can't stop a runny nose.
01:12
The Knicks are exciting, except they give up 148 points a game.
01:17
So forget about that.
01:19
The Thunder are the most exciting team with, in my opinion, the Rockets and the Grizzlies.
01:27
And you see the Grizzlies at 34 to 1.
01:30
The Lakers are 18 to 1 because they have Luka.
01:33
I won't deny if you have Luka and LeBron and Reeves, the Lakers are a problem.
01:40
I'm not going to deny it.
01:42
I'm not going to deny you have, you know, Gordon Porter, Murray, and Joker.
01:46
You have a problem on your hands, 13 to 1, the Nuggets.
01:51
And the experience of winning a championship, the Nuggets are better than the Rockets and
01:56
the Grizzlies when it comes down to it in playoff time.
01:59
They got the Joker and they got a ring.
02:02
That's just all there is to it.
02:03
The West is like LeBron said, the wild, wild West.
02:07
It's wide open and it's going to determine, you know, I think who ends up being the champion
02:14
because no one in the East is beating the Boston Celtics.
02:18
Like whenever they want to play, they're just going to do you.
02:23
Speaking of the Grizzlies, I saw a story today and obviously these stories get all thrown
02:27
around all over the place that the Grizzlies would look to shop John Morant this summer.
02:35
That that's going to be like their summer thing.
02:37
They're going to try to shop John Morant around.
02:41
Still pretty young.
02:42
I know he's had some problems off the board.
02:43
That's just a gigantic mistake and whoever's saying that is drunk.
02:50
I think Jaron Jackson Jr. is a great player, but I think they sell tickets because of John
02:57
Morant.
02:58
And listen, I get it.
03:00
He was crazy.
03:01
He's young.
03:02
He was stupid.
03:03
He's running around and rapping and twirling guns.
03:07
Not cool.
03:08
I think he's actually learned his lesson.
03:12
He understands he's big business.
03:16
He's got shoe deals with Nike.
03:19
He's got endorsements out the Yang.
03:21
He's a winner.
03:22
He's a exciting player.
03:24
If he does it again, his career is over.
03:27
If he doesn't do it again, the sky's the limit.
03:30
There's no way I trade him if I'm the Memphis Grizzlies.
03:32
No way.
03:33
I mean, they did the right things like, you know, get rid of smart, get rid of these guys
03:37
that don't matter.
03:38
You cannot get rid of a guy that's that good and that young.
03:43
I'm sorry.
03:44
And the reason that the Mavericks gave up on Luka Doncic was they think he's fat and
03:51
they think he doesn't care.
03:54
And they think that he's out of shape and will only get worse as he gets older.
03:58
And they think that Anthony Davis is the true big they need to win.
04:03
They've already got four bigs now and they got the best big in the league, but he's always
04:09
injured.
04:10
So we'll see if he plays during the playoffs.
04:12
That's all that matters.
04:13
He's injured now for the next month.
04:15
I think Luka Doncic is unstoppable.
04:18
He's a whiny crybaby B, but he is unstoppable.
04:22
And that's why they told him they got sick of him not listening, rolling his eyes.
04:27
He don't listen to nobody.
04:29
He doesn't listen to the owners, the GM, the coach.
04:32
He don't listen to Jason Kidd.
04:34
I mean, he's one of the best players in the world.
04:36
He don't listen to nobody except himself.
04:39
John Moran is too young and too good to give up on.
04:44
And he's in great shape and he's a baddest.
04:47
All I have to say is, did you see him climb Wemba Nyama and dunk in his face?
04:54
And you want to trade that guy?
04:56
He must be stupid.
04:57
Done.
04:58
I'm done with it.
04:59
I'm not having it.
05:01
MVP is pretty quick and then I'll give you the rest.
05:04
He's a badass.
05:06
SGA and Joker, that's it.
05:09
On the MVP.
05:10
That's who's going to be running for that down the hill.
05:12
Can we just give it to Shea for once?
05:15
We've already given the Joker three of them and NB, everybody's got an MVP.
05:20
Can we give one to a guy that actually deserves it?
