Trey Murphy Injury? Pelicans Preseason Game 2! Jeremiah Fears STARTING

Trey Murphy Injury? Pelicans Preseason Game 2! Jeremiah Fears STARTING

Check, check, check, check. Want make sure my sound and everything good. All right, it’s a late night game. I don’t know how many people gonna join. It’s Saturday night. The preseason schedule been crazy so far. We got a game at 5 in the morning, son. Then we get a game at Saturday night. Yo, what’s the deal Ashton? I see you in the building. Appreciate you, big dog. It might be a few of us tonight. I don’t know how many people even I don’t even know how many people know the game going on, dog. This was a crazy scheduling situation. Crazy. You know what I’m saying? I’mma just do the first half tonight. That way it give us a chance to get up out of here. I don’t know how much of the starters we gonna see. I’m shocked to see Jeremiah F starting. I’m not so shocked about the Trey Murphy um news. We kind of got one of a couple things last night that they might be uh some type of lower body issue. Hopefully hopefully it’s just precautionary. You know what I’m saying? Hopefully, it’s just precautionary and nothing serious. But man, when you talking about a 20our flight, 20our flight with athletes that size, like it’s usually not a recipe for nothing good to happen. Well, what up Noah Chop? How you doing, brother? I hope every all y’all, you know, chilling this Saturday. I hope y’all having a good weekend. You know what I’m saying? I I don’t think I’m watching no Saints tomorrow, bro. I ain’t gonna lie. I ain’t gonna lie to you, dog. I don’t even know if the Saints play tomorrow. That That’s how bad it’s gotten. At one time, I can name every player on the roster. Now, I’m just like, is y’all even playing tomorrow, bro? With the Pelicans. What y’all think about Jeremiah Fear starting? How y’all feel about that? Cuz I’m surprised they playing the Giants. Oh, it’s gonna be Dart versus Rattler. All right. I might tune in for that. I think Rattler getting his first W tomorrow. I got Rattler getting his first W tomorrow. But what y’all think about Fear starting because that’s very very interesting to me. I like the confidence that, you know, they instilling in him after his performance last game. You know, they probably don’t want him to be too down on himself. They putting him out there with the big dogs. I don’t know how much Spacing going to be out there realistically with him and Zion, but it’s a good time to see how that pair looks. We should see some quality Ali oops being thrown. We should see some quality alley oops being thrown. Let’s see what they doing. All right, they doing the national anthem right now. So, tip off should be in a second. Yo, the crazy thing, and this is this is probably just me, son. Like, what I don’t like about the NBA compared to the NFL is 12:03, the football in the air. The broadcast start at 12. 1203 the football in the air. You know what I’m saying? Jessica, nah, no Herb Jones. No Herb Jones. uh still dealing with that ankle injury. Um had an X-ray today or last night and uh you know they just evaluating it but no Herb Jones unfortunately and it seems like we just went through this. Just went through Whoa. What’s adding Joe? What’s adding Joe? Man, I’m supposed to have my club soda in here. You know what? I’mma just drink some wine. I got some wine. Um, yeah, last preseason we didn’t have Trey Murphy due to the hamstring injury. This preseason it looked like we might not even see Herb Jones. Yeah. You know, like X-rays, MRIs, CAT scans, you know, all those things are just precautionary. Ultrasounds precautionary. You know what I’m saying? Hopefully, it’s nothing to be too concerned about with the trade thing. You know, a couple of us who were in kind of in the know about the situation were on pens and needles a little bit, but I’m hoping that’s nothing to be too concerned about. Well, what up, Ethan? How you doing, brother? Cuz they just saying like it’s left foot soreness. They’re not really saying it’s an injury necessarily. So, we could be optimistic about that. You know what I’m saying? So, hopefully hopefully that stays what it is. Long as it ain’t no Jones injury, no blood clots. me, I was mostly concerned about blood clotting issues with these guys because you talking about again athletes this size flying 20 hours. I I don’t think I like that. I don’t think I like that. See, I’m tired of athletes getting hurt by their feet. Yeah. In this situation, I don’t really know, bro. I I I don’t I don’t know. I feel like I’m not so sure how this could have been avoided. I don’t know if it’s a freak injury. I I’m just I’m just not sure like what really happened with this situation. I’m so he played better last game play. He was rushing his jacking up shots. Oh yeah, Fizz. Yeah, I’m I’m pretty surprised by this honestly. I I I like it though. I do like it because you showing that you got confidence in, bro. Let me see that the uh Hold on. Let me see if I can do the share screen with y’all. See? Look. How’s that looking? All right. So, I’mma I’mma refresh it when they do tip off. Can y’all see that clearly? That way we can follow the score. If it’s being bogus, we going to do the uh we might end up doing a play by play if it’s being bogus. Can y’all hear me good? Everything straight? Everything coming through good? All right. Cool, cool, cool. But yeah, man. Me, I’m nervous about the Trey injury, dog. Like the herb injury to me, the ankle was surprising because I saw the wrap on his thumb. So my first instinct would have been it’s the thumb injury. You know what I’m saying? My first instinct would have been, oh damn, he didn’t sprain his thumb. Something like that that happened. But with the ankle, I’m like, man, what’s going on with this? You know what I’m saying? Like is is high ankle sprain, low ankle sprain? Like, you know, what’s the severity of it? Is it swelling there? You know, we don’t really have a ton of information on it. just yet. Yo, we got 14 people in the building, man. Can y’all please smash the like button, please? I appreciate y’all. Let’s get it up to 14 likes before they tip off, man. He said Joe said he think it cool. He think he cool that he’s not risking it. You talking about Herb, Joe or you talking about Trey or both? Because I mean that could apply to both to be honest. Like is it really worth risking in the preseason? Especially when you got to travel back. I just You know, shout out to all the fans in Australia, man. Cuz some of them might even be watching this show. Shout out to all the fans in Australia. But dog, like don’t sign us up for no more um Intercontinental Games cuz like was Wasn’t it the Saints who had the first London game? Was it the Saints who had that first game? I don’t even remember. But I know I I was not feeling feeling what happened last game. But I appreciate all y’all who joined the stream who was rocking with us, man. And people who watch the replay. Let me see. So, right now we got Derek Queen out, Herb Jones out, Trey Murphy out. Derek Queen, I don’t expect Derek Queen back until hopefully the top of November. If it get to like mid November, then we kind of it it kind of getting spooky like you know what I’m saying? It’s getting a little spooky and you might need to sign some front court deps waking up at 4:30 a.m. and now watching the game at 10 p.m. They can’t say we don’t have diehard fans. Absolutely, bro. Not only that, it’s tense on a Saturday, bro. It’s 10 pm on a Saturday. The weather nice. It’s like we we showing loyalty. You know what I’m saying? Like, uh, this is this great. And tomorrow, make sure y’all join us for the live stream. Uh, we probably gonna be discussing the outcome of this game, discussing the injuries, you know what I’m saying? And, God forbid there’s any anything new and unsettling that happens in tonight’s game. We just want all positive vibes. We want the me I want the first quarter to be 30 to nothing. So if we could just sit Zion down, sit everybody down. You know what I’m saying? We might could call it and just go on by the rest of our night. You know what I’m saying? Say if it was me after the first game, I’m Joe said if it was me after the first game, I’m damn near sitting everybody. Yeah. Yeah. The only thing the only reason where like you can’t really sit like your starters like that is because most of these dudes ain’t never really played together. You know what I’m saying? Like the good thing is you got P and Zion out there and they get to build some chemistry and work on their twoman game. But I don’t know if Herb starting this year yet, but you would at least want two, three games with your starters. Like, you know what I’m saying? Building some type of chemistry because if your first game is against Memphis, Memphis gonna be missing uh Jiren Jackson Jr., you should get that W, bro. You should get that W. Emphasis on the word should. Then make sure y’all smashing the likes, please. Then the second game, if I’m not mistaken, well, the home opener is gonna be against San Antonio. You and Darren Fox gonna be out with a hamstring injury. If I’m not mistaken, you should should get that game. So, in theory, you if you healthy, you should start off 2 and 0. You should. But you don’t want none of that, you know, with the Pelicans. You don’t want none of that jive as you know, oh well, he’s he was hurt, so now he has to ramp back up and find his rhythm again. You don’t really want to have to deal with that, though. I’m tired of that. I ain’t gonna lie to you. That got old fast. That that’s played out now. Now it’s like, y’all need to be y’all need to be hooing. Y’all need to hit the ground running, son. You ain’t got too much room for error. Hope to see something good from FZ tonight. What I want to see from Fez tonight, bro, I want to see him get to the free throw line. I want to see him get to the free throw line if that shot not falling because the last game you could kind of tell he was getting discouraged a little bit and he just started hoisting up jumpers. That is not his game. His game is not just hoisting up threes. It’s not his game. Like that’s why it looked so crazy. So you really want to see him get downhill, get to the rim. Hopefully he can get a couple easy baskets early on and um build up that confidence. But that’s that’s dope to see the young boy getting this start, man. That’s fire. It’s It got to be like a dream come true for some of these dudes. Like like for a few of the cats, especially the end of the bench cats, they like, “Man, I ain’t even know if I was gonna be in the league this year.” So that got to be good to see. I’m looking for Sadique Bay to have a good shooting game, too, because Sadique Bay didn’t get a lot of opportunities last game. This game, he should be taking at least 10 shots. At least 10. With Trey being out, it’s just going to be Zion and Pool. Um, you know, uh, he should get at least 10 shots. He got to take advantage of those opportunities, too. Especially from beyond the arc. Gotta take advantage. So, let me see. Southeast Melbourne Phoenix. Y’all know anything about these dudes? These dudes supposed to be good? The the the Phoenix cuz them other dudes was kind of hype. You know what I’m saying? I want to see Carlo get more minutes after four. Me too. I absolutely want to see more Carlo after four. I think they was u cuz he didn’t really play till like the fourth quarter. I ain’t really understand that rotation. I I think they was trying to go small and see what the small lineup would look like because if you notice they never really ran their two big lineup. Whoa. What’s that? Daily say two games straight. Yes, sir. We in the building. We are in the building, brother. Yo, L was so tired after that last game. The son cuz he he did a live stream all night. Got up probably was still awake and did the live stream with me, bro. Whoa. What’s happening, Michael Morgan, my dog? What’s happening with your mic? Yeah, bro. Look, I when I didn’t see you in the PO in the recap, I said, “Yeah, that brother getting some much needed rest, man. I tried to take a nap after that recap.” I I couldn’t believe that they had us up that early, bro. I could not believe it. All right, we got the tip off. Looney starting again. Starting lineup, Looney, Sadique Bay, uh Jeremiah Fizz, and Zion. Let me see if I can cut the audio on. Not that loud. Way too much. Oh yeah, that boy is Zion showing all his teeth. Zion thrilled to be the star now. You know what I’m saying? Oh yeah, thank God for them streaming websites for real. For real. Oh, Zion with the first bucket. That was a goend. But see Z hitting the ground and [ __ ] I don’t like that. We on the ground a little too much in this preseason. That’s the thing with these these um teams on other continents. They they real physical. Hey, you know I can’t Whoa. What up Osborne? How you doing brother? My man G Osborne in the building. All right. Come on. Come on now. All right. So if you Zion on that rebound, you got to watch your back. You got to be communicating. Got to be communicating because like that that could have been a uh points off a turnover. So Zion, you got to watch your back and the bench got to talk to him and let him know who behind him there. All right. They seem locked in on defense. Ah. Ah. Come on. Zion be gambling for them steals so he can get out in transition. Oh, good pass. Oh, I ain’t like that. All right, so Looney, that’s Looney second three of the preseason. He wasn’t even necessarily wide open on that one. So Looney being kind of uh what’s the word I’m looking for? He being kind of aggressive shooting these trees. Ah, that was a bad pass by Pool. All right, box out. Box out. Box out. Box out. All right. All right. Fear. Let’s see how Fars orchestrate the offense. Let’s see how Fierce orchestrate the offense. How he gives it up to Pool. Twoman game from pool. Oh, you supposed to go all the way with that Looney. Oh, big three by Fizz to start. That’s what you like to see. Good kick out from Looney. I wanted Looney to go all the way and run that twoman game, but that was a good make. That was a hell of a make by Fizz. good confidence boosts considering how he shot last game. But that go to show you and you know I got them shirts zero fears. That go to show you that uh Jeremiah Fez really is fearless. Speaking of fearless, Jordan Pool, what was that? Pool, what was that? Well, know your chop. I ain’t saying Looney can hit threes, but in high school he he in high school Looney was cold. Before Looney had all them surgeries and [ __ ] Looney Looney was a offensive beast in Milwaukee. He was cold. All that’s box out. See? All right. That’s Now, that’s a hell of a rebound right there by Sadique Bay cuz Looney was supposed to get that. But that was a good rebound by Sadique Bay. All right. All right. Slow it down. Calm down. Pool. We have to dig ban the post on the left block. He going up with it. All right, he got to the free throw line. That’s good. I want to see him I want to see his offensive game. I want to see how he how he operates with more offensive opportunities and a couple easy shots at the free throw line. That should get his rhythm going. Y’all don’t like that golf coast uh channel? I ain’t never tried it. I ain’t never tried it. Is it whack? Is it or is it is it better than the the antenna situation they had going on? All right. I want to see us get out in transition a little bit, too, because it seems like we we haven’t had a ton of opportunities to really run a fast break. All right. Good defense. Box out Zion. Good rebound by Zion. I need to see a lot of that this season. Zion. Oh. Ah. See, I ain’t like that. I ain’t like that. That’s Zion being indecisive. If you going to give it up, give it up a little earlier than that. If you going to shoot the ball, shoot the ball. He tried to He tried the euro and hit him with a swim move, but he couldn’t get over, so he just decided to pass it and picked up the charge. But that still was a good rebound. That still was a good rebound. But yeah, Zion got to stay off the floor. That’s Zion’s second time on the floor. Not a big fan of that. Not a big fan of that. Let’s see here. Good still. Good still. Good still. Slow it down, F. Slow it down. Slow it down. All right. Ah, I didn’t like that shot by Sadique Bay. I didn’t like that shot. There’s a better shot to take than that. Zion look a step discombobulated today. Yo, we got 27 in the building. Can we hit the like button, family? Make sure we hit the like button. Share the stream. We appreciate y’all. Z, he just look a step slow, a little discombobulated today. Like he another person that needs to get a easy bucket to kind of figure out his rhythm and get it going. Cuz I I really didn’t like that shot just now. Didn’t like that shot. They got some good microphones in uh Australia. Oh, what up David? He said, “What was Looney shooting a three?” Chad, you to go for this, bro. I appreciate you, big dog. Thank you, Sean. Appreciate you, homie. He said shooting three. I don’t mind him shooting a wide open three, but that’s two and two games this preseason. That’s probably more than he ever shot in two games in his career. All right, you got Zion and such. Oh, great screen by Looney. Great screen by Looney. That’s why you need Looney on this roster. If you see that screen that he just set, he took out two defenders to give a clear lane for Zion. That’s probably the easiest shot Zion’s gotten in a very long time. That was an incredible screen by Looney, bro. Incredible. Oh, get off me. Ah, okay. We got JP going to the free throw line. I’m hold muted real quick. So, a underrated part. A underrated part. Denzel said, “Gortage screen.” Yeah, exactly. Take out two defenders. See, Looney just there to occupy space. Even even um rebounding. You just had to occupy space. One of the one of the thing, and L just pointed out, Jordan Pool is going to draw a lot of free throws. Lot of free throws. That’s a lot of easy buckets. So, you got Willie Green. He coaching up Jeremiah Fizz. Uh he seems to be being pretty patient with Fez. He played Fizz through a lot of his mistakes last game. I don’t know how much of that is him or how much of that is uh Dumas, but it don’t matter. It don’t matter really in the end. Let’s see how we doing. All right. Box out. Box out. Box out. Okay. Now Zion is moving. Zion’s moving. Zion staying active. The only thing is Zion grab a rebound. See, Zion is trying to make he feeling so much of the love out there. And I understand it because they showing major love out there. But Zion is going for the steal every time. He’s gambling every possession. Like he trying to get a fast break opportunity every possession. And you know that’s all right. But you know, fundamentals, man. Let’s focus on fundamentals in the short term. You ain’t got to hit a home run every time because you giving up easy buckets on the opposite end. Good screen. Oh, see Fierce didn’t have to do that. Great three by Great by Jordan Pool. Now, my only thing is I thought Fierce had a lane right there and he stopped to do that spin move and he kicked it out to Jordan Pool, but I thought he had a lane right there. I don’t think he had to do that. Good contest by Looney. Great rebound. Great pass up ahead by Zion. There we go. There we go. There we go. There we go. There we go, baby. That’s what I’m talking about. Great defense. Great rebound. Kick out ahead. Easy buckets. Easy buckets. Come on, Z. Good [ __ ] defense, boy. Good defense all the way. That’s what the [ __ ] I’m Damn. They gonna [ __ ] up. Damn. I’m cursing like a mother. They going to demonetize my channel. But great defense by Zion on that block. Great defense by Zion on that block. Great defense. Great defense there. And look, that would have been another that would have been another fast court opportunity if um but that was good defense by Melbourne to get that block off of um Sadique Bay. But that was still excellent excellent defense leading to a good result. Zion recovered. Chaz, chill. This is preseason. Yo, it’s been a long off seasonason, dog. It been a long off seasonason and we need these dudes to start off right. We need We need We need them to hit the ground running, bro. So, y’all pardon me if if if I get a little a little excited. You know what I’m saying? Y’all pardon me. My bad. Yo, we got 40 people in the building. Let’s hit the like button, everybody. Thank y’all for joining us. Make sure y’all hit the like button. It’s early, so I know y’all still going out later. I know y’all still going party later. I can understand. I can understand. Let’s see what we got here. So, so far I’m seeing some I’m seeing some cool decision making here and there like you know uh I would like the a couple of guys to be a little more decisive like again with Fierce. Fierce had a lane cuz Fars is super uh fast, but Fierce creates space by throwing that forearm a little bit. After he picked up a offensive foul last game, he probably not thinking about initiating contact. So when he spun out and kicked it to Pool and it was a low pass, C pool caught it low and still got up, shot, and made the three. You understand? So it worked out. It worked out. But you just want to be sharp with your decision- making. I think that was a good timeout too because we had gone quite a bit without a dead ball situation. So I think that was a good timeout as well. Good timeout by uh New Orleans. So at this point, Zion has played six minutes. So Zion’s coming out and Peavey is coming in the game. So that’s what I was just about to say. I I want to see how long they play Zion straight and who’s going to be the guy that they use as the uh what’s the word I’m looking for bro like in the staggered lineup and I think it look it’s looking like it’s going to be Jordan Pool as the leader in the staggered lineup because last time it was Trey Murphy as you already know trades out so it look look like it’s going to be Jordan Pool tonight look it’s going to be Jordan Pool tonight show the Bosco while we in timeout Hold up let me get to the Bosco one second Basco. Yeah, everybody see it’s looking pretty efficient out there. I don’t know what’s going on cuz in the gamecast they said Melbourne got four. On the uh NBA TV broadcast, it’s saying they had like eight. So, I’m not really sure what’s going on with that. But they looking all right, though. They looking all right. We hitting at the charity strike. got to take care of the ball for us with the fouls and the turnovers though. Zion got two personal fouls. That makes sense why they took him out also. That makes sense. Okay, let’s see what we doing here. Dang, I missed that three. All right, I could go back and watch it and see what happened with Jordan Pool. Let me see how that three looked. Eh, not the best three out of Not the best three off the inbound pass when you had 18 seconds left. I I didn’t like that shot by Pool. Didn’t like it. Fez got blocked on the layup. Got blocked on the layup on the left side. Uh let’s see. Can we get the rebound? Ah, we don’t get the rebound. Fierce got back on defense, but we still didn’t get the rebound. Pave, you got to box out better than that. Okay, so we had two two questionable shots in a row. I’ll say questionable. That was a great screen by Lunia right there. All right. So, if you fears, see, that’s something that’s something that Lonzo used to do a little bit. That used to bother me a little bit. You got to let the screen guy get a little a little deeper before you do a like don’t give up your dribble so early cuz now you no longer a threat. And you know, Looney not like super duper quick. The way he one step to the rim. I think he gave up he gave up his dribble a little quick on that one. All right, we got my dog Mei out there. Let’s see what Mei going to do. Let’s see what Mei going to do. Step back three for Fierce. Oh my god, that was a terrible shot, Fierce. That was terrible. That was a terrible shot. Step back three contested. Don’t hit the rim whatsoever. Don’t hit the rim whatsoever. All right. What I’m liking about Sadique Bay right now is his rebounder. Sadique Bay is going to get a lot of minutes at the four if I had to guess. Ah, there we go. Sadique, feed the man. There we go. Way to reward him for getting a great rebound. Nice dish by F to Sadique Bay on that left corner. Nothing but net. Nothing but net. All right. Come on now. Loose ball situation. Ah, damn. All right. It’s all right. It’s all right. It’s all right. You say Sadique Naji B. I ain’t going to lie, man. I would love to have Naji on this roster right now just to have another like guy who can really get downhill. All right, there you go, Fizz. There you go, Fizz. There you go, Fizz. There you go. That was nice. That was nice. Very creative drive behind the back off the glass. There you go. Come on, B. Good rebound by BC. All right, come on. Come on. Let’s push it. Let’s push it. Oh, all the way. All the way pool. There we go. There we go. Very decisive. Very decisive drive by Pool. That’s where you seeing the advantage of having players with a quality handle like Fizz and Pool because you can’t really press him. You can’t really All right, hold up. Wait now. Hold up now cuz Jordan Hawkins coming in the game. Who coming out? So Fears and Pool coming out. Alvarado and Hawkins coming in the game. You need to see a good game from uh look at KG. You need to see a good game from Hawkins tonight, bro. You really do. Nobody really outplaying Hawkins. But that should be even more terri like scary because if they not out playing Hawkins, that mean nobody playing good. So, we need I don’t know. David, I hope he figure it out. There he starting off with a steal. Good steal by Hawk right there. Let’s see what you do with it. All right. Good pass. Come on, Sadique. Oh, Sadique. Two for two for Minor Up. Way to find him, Jose. But that started with Hawk’s defense. That started with Hawks defense. So, shout out to Hawkins on Q. Good defense by PB. Make him give up the ball. Watch the screen. Watch the screen. There we go. Missy [ __ ] Oh, and save B. We balling. We balling. We balling. Kick it out. Come set the screen for him. Sadique Bay is balling. That’s what I needed to see. Sadique Bay is balling. Sadique Bay is balling right now. And it look like Zion about to check back in. Sadique Bay is balling. Box out. Get the rebound. Another rebound for Sadique Bay. Another rebound for him. What are you going to do with it? You going to keep it, Sadique? What you going to do? Uh, he kicks it out to Hawkins. That was a bad shot, but it went in. It was a bad shot, but it went in. The Pelicans balling. So, Hawkins got a steal and he got a three, a made three on his first attempt. Sadique Bay filling up the box uh the box sheet right now. He filling up the stat sheet. Hold on. Let’s see what Sadique Bay got right now. He got to have like five rebounds. Let’s see what he got right now. Sadique Bay three only three meals three miles five points. Is this updated? No, this can’t be updated. Is this updated? Hold. Let me look over here. No. Sadique Bay 11 points, five rebounds, and one assist. He’s three or four from beyond the arc. He balling. He balling right now. This what you need to see. Okay. And Zion, he got four rebounds in the first quarter. That’s always good. So, he got four rebounds. One assists, one steel, one block. Uh, four points. Okay, I see. I like the energy and intensity they playing with. Whoa. What up, Eric? How you doing, brother? Them dudes balling. I’m trying to see what’s up with Gamecast. Why they not updating, though? Shout out to ESPN. I I you know, I I don’t want to say nothing too bad about them, but we work together sometimes. But, man, ESPN gota they got to do better with this game, C. And you know they they they whole website. I don’t know. I don’t want to say nothing too bad. I I don’t know. I don’t know. Look, they just started the [ __ ] from scratch. They heard me talking about them. They just start the whole game over. How you like that, Chaz? This is crazy. I’mma find y I’mma find y’all another one, dog. I’mma find y’all another one. This is crazy, man. Look, they re they literally replaying the whole joint like possession by possession at the top of the game cash. This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. Billions of dollars. They can give me that money. They can give me that money. This is crazy. I already refresh game. I was born. I already refreshed this. But yeah, es ESPN they they they could use they could use a update. There you go. Uh oh. Uh oh, here we go. It’s catching up. It’s catching up. Wait a minute now. But I’m glad to see Hawkins. Like so much this season depends on Hawkins to be able to really help out and not man that second unit, but really help out with that second unit because you don’t have a lot of microwave scoring types. Oh, you say ESPN need a reboot? Oh, yeah. They need a total reboot. They didn’t jump the shark. They they they they need a reboot. Absolutely. They need to hire me. That’s what they need. They need to hire me. I solve all their problems. Solve all their problems. Put me Put me in charge of the budget. First thing I’m doing is buying an island somewhere. Put me in charge of the button. I’m buying an island with uh no expedition low. Let me see. All right. So, we back in the game. Zion’s back out there. So, you got Zion out there with three shooters. So, that’s interesting to see. All right. That’s See All right, we recovering defensively, but this not We recovering recovering defensively, but it’s not good defense. Zion got turned around on defense. I I didn’t like that just now. Zion got turned around defense. Okay. Can we get a good set ran? All right. You got Zion in the post. Y’all know how I feel about Zion in the post. I hate it. Oh, that was a bad miss. Zion never missed those. That was a bad miss. All right, so Zion up to what? Five rebounds now. All right, slow it down. Slow it down. Slow it down. Oh, skip pass to Jose in the corner. Oh, he stopped out of bounds. Ah, damn. That would have been nice. That would have been nice. Yeah, Peavey hasn’t really oppress impressed me defensively so far in this preseason. He He been looking kind of weird defensively. Like he getting lost like I don’t know. That’s concerning to me though. That’s a little concerning to me. Z got like what? Seven rebounds, six rebounds now. That’s good. That’s a point because that’s one of the point of emphasis. Oh, you had Hawkins up ahead. All right. That was a bad shot by Peavey. That was a very bad shot. That’s what happens when dudes don’t feel a part of the offense, though. They just take bad shots like that. You can’t do that. All right, Zion. All right, Zion playing bad defense tonight. That was bad defense. That was bad defense. Zion needs a bucket. He need a bucket so he can have like more buy in defensively cuz right now his defense a little It’s not lax a day necessarily, but you can tell it’s not really hitting. All right. Big three made by Jordan Hawkins. They needed that. They needed that three. Jordan Hawkins two for two from Beyond A. So he outplaying Peavey right now. He outplaying Peavey right now. That’s going to be his main competition. All right. So he gave up, as I’m complimenting Jordan Hawkins. He gives up the easiest straight line drive ever. Easiest straight line drive ever. That’s why Jordan Hawkins needs to gain weight. That was incredibly easy. That was That was Come on, man. Come on, man. He made that dude look like Zion just now. So they waiting to double. Kick it back out. Hawkins. All right. Good save by PB there. Shoot. Shoot that [ __ ] Oh my god. All right. So Hawkins kind of messed that play up. Zion forced to take a bad shot from the corner. I think that was blocked. I’mma just call it blocked because it looked like a just straight air ball. I’mma call it blocked. This is a rough end to the h rough end to the quarter by the Pelicans. Zion having a rough game so far. He’s rebounding and doing things to make himself a little bit impactful. Uh, aside from scoring, but this this is not a good Zion game so far. Um, other than that, I think everyone’s played well. I think Sadique Bay is the MVP so far. Sadique Bay MVP of the game so far. Let’s see. Zion needs to stop turning us back. Yeah, Zion got to stop doing that cuz I’m like, what? What are you doing? I can understand if you turning your back on defense like if you rolling off a screen how Steph does, I understand that. But if you just oneon-one, like why are you doing that? Candace, I think we really scrimmaging, experimenting, not trying to win by any means. Winning is basically a given. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, when you don’t have a ton of um time on task with the other like some of the other players on the roster, you want us to see some positives. So, I’m I’m not worried about Zion’s offense whatsoever. Not really that worried about his defense. I think Zion is a a solid defensive player when he’s really like locked in. I’m I’m more so worried about are you in the game? Like, are you are you you know making silly mistakes? Are you rebounding? Are you focused? Are you, you know, at least attempting to play defense? Are you getting into the front court? So far, those things seem to be happening. So, you know, that’s cool. He say, “Shout out to uh Mickey the Pel fan. How you doing, bro?” Say, “What you think the Pale identity would be?” I think this going to be a a physical team. I think it’s going to be a physical team. Um, I do think this team is heavy like heavily relying on offense. I don’t think the defense is going to be there necessarily. Now, that’s easy for me to say because I haven’t seen him with with uh Herb yet, but I think this is a team that’s gonna try to come out and like punch you in the mouth early. Like, to me, the Pelicans are going to have several games this season where they score 40 points in a quarter. Several games this season where they do that. In my opinion, I think they’re going to shoot a lot of threes. How many of those will be ill advised, we will see. But I think they’re gonna shoot a lot of threes. If they can rebound effectively, like let’s say Herb averages eight rebounds, Design averages seven rebounds this season. That and Trey could get you about seven. Also, that would be very, very good for them getting out in transition. Said Herb is going to play free safety like a good old days. I think so cuz I think Looney and you look at Looney Looney don’t really get burned off the dribble when he can like drive you to the weak side and you got, you know, help defender to come try to, you know, do what he need to do like Zion with the block or and you got a couple guys that like like Mei or Zion or Trey, if you get past me, I can still get a um ball deflection or I could still like get a block from behind, but it’s still for me. I’m just I just want them to be locked in and in the best condition possible. And so far they looking like they in good shape. Nobody looks out of shape tonight. Last game when you know when they got to that that second quarter they starting they started to look a little tired. So I’m hoping that’s not the case tonight. We will find good three players that will know and start the season together with Trey Her recover. We need three solid players to start jelling right now. Yeah, I agree. I agree. That’s why I hope we see All right. A pullback is pullback out there. No, not yet. Okay. Oh, we got Carlo. We got Carlos sighting. Let’s see what my dog Carlo do. So, we got three. We got four shooters out there with Zion. Yes, I’m calling Carlo a shooter. We got four shooters out there with Zion. That’s another rebound for Zion. Zion might get a triple double tonight. Zion might get a triple double. And one. There you go. There you go. Get the rebound. Give him back the ball. He gets to the rim. Easy bucket on the and one. Make your free throw, big dog. Make your free throw. Let’s see what the Bosco looking like for Zion. Zion got seven rebounds and two assists. All right, so ignore the triple double. Never mind. Forget I said that. It’s probably not gonna happen. Probably not gonna happen. All right. Make sure y’all smashing that like button, family. Make sure y’all hitting the like button. Trey, what up, big dog? How you doing, Trey? All right. Oh, man. This website tripping again. I think the team missing a power forward like a traditional. Well, I ain’t going to say traditional. I think the team missing a stretch forward. Y’all know how I would love to have John Collins. Oh, get that. Get that, Carlo. Kick it. Look, look ahead. Oh, Hawkins. That was a terrible shot. Hawkins, that was terrible. Good block by Zion. Zion got two blocks. That was a terrible shot. Oh, look at Carlo. Ah, he kicked it to Peavey. Good shot by Peavey. Great decision making. Great decision making by Zion right there to Peavey in that right corner. That’s Peeby’s first. Is that Peavey’s first preseason bucket? That might be Peavey f first preseason bucket. That was a nice shot. Z got eight rebounds right now. Carlo. Ah, Carlo fumbled the ball a little bit and tried to kick it out to Peavey. Carlo fumbled the ball on that pass just now. Pelicans got a 20point lead. So, you know, they out here. They trying for real. This this not um [ __ ] game. Carlo, that was bad. Carlo got thrown out of the way. He had terrible defensive positioning for that rebound. He got thrown out of the way and he just gave the ball up in the back court. Come on, man. Carlo Carlos had another bad play in a row. Carlo had two bad players in a row. Carlo didn’t he had terrible fundamentals on that box out. He gave up a offensive board and bucket. He gave then when he gets the ball on the uh on the inbound, he gives it up to Jordan Hawkins way too early. Just drop like you have a lane to get the ball to the front court. He gives the ball up to Jordan Hawkins way too early. Joe Hawkins gets uh his pocket pick from behind. Other team goes down there and scored. That was terrible. Well, I one can say that was three bad plays in a row for Carlo cuz he fumbled the pass too on a prior possession. But that was a terrible sequence for Carlo just now. Terrible sequence for Carlo. And Hawkins just in general, Hawkins got to stop getting his pocket picked in the in the back court. That’s a at this point that’s a staple of his game getting his pocket picked in the back court. But that was a good timeout by Willie Green. Good timeout. Easy money. He said I just bet on this. What’s the odds they lose? Uh I I highly doubt they lose. Easy money. It’s worth betting on though. You never know. [ __ ] you know. But I I think they got this game in a bag. I think they got this one in the bag because this this team will look nearly as good as uh the like the other Melbourne team. Do I think Zion can get to 75% from free throw line this? I think 75 might be high, but my hope my hope is at least 71 72 on maybe nine attempts. 18 shots a game. I’m hoping nine attempts from the free throw line. His career high is like eight, I think. Career high and shot attempts is like 16.9. So, I’m hoping about 18 shots a game, 19 hopefully 189 19 and about nine free throws at about 71%. That’s what I’m hoping. Yeah, Hawkins can’t Hawkins can’t really dribble. Can’t really dribble. You know what I’m saying? Can’t really dribble respectfully. You say, “Yo, so let me ask y’all something. Do y’all rather have Antonio Reeves back on this roster over Jordan Hawkins right now? Or are we do we still got Hawkins believers in the chat? How how many of y’all in the chat are Hawkins believers? Let me know. Hit and we got 41 in here. Please hit the like button and share the live if you can. We appreciate you. But how many how many Hawkins believers we got in here? Because I ain’t gonna hold you, son. I really wish we would have kept Antonio Reeves. I got high hopes for Hawkins this year, but I wish we would have kept Antonio Reeves. Is Reeves in the league? I think Yeah, Reeves on the two-way. Reeves on a two-way, I believe. They got Scotty Pippen in the building. All right, Scotty Pippen got Buu um Beijing in his hair. Shout out to Scotty though. Oh, great pass by Jose. Nice flush by Carlo. That should get Carlos’s confidence booming a little bit. You know what I’m saying? Get Carlos confidence going a little bit. Let’s see here. Let’s see. All right, we got everybody communicating. You got Peavey pretty much playing free safety. Peavey jumped way too early right there defensively. So, we got Carlo at the five and Peavey at the four. What’s with all these small lineups? Like I guess we ain’t got a ton of bigs on the roster with uh Oh, great tap out by PB. Zion’s in the air. Zion picks up the foul, but that’s way too much. Zion is on the floor way too much, dog. He is on the ground. I mean, way too much. Way too much. But that was a great tap out by Peavey. What I’m seeing, y’all. Whoa. What was that? Kendall, how you doing? Sean, what’s popping? What I’m seeing, y’all, is the Pelicans. The Pelicans don’t have enough bigs cuz they going with these one big lineups still to the like they still going with one big lineups. The Pelicans need a power forward or another center and we can’t wait on Queen like cuz Queen might not be ready till mid November. Yeah, Jonathan, we missing Queen. The Pel the Pelicans need another big and I think they should call in Bo personally. Just call in Bo. Take a flyer on him. You know what I’m saying? What damage could it do? He could he could stretch the floor. He could def he could defend the rim a little bit. You got a open roster spot. Just give him a a non-g guaranteed contract. You know what I’m saying? Bring him in on a two-way something. I don’t He might have too many years in the league to be on a two-way, but just give him a non-G guaranteed or something cuz you Damn. Great defense by Zion right there. Forcing the turnover. Zion. Zion is ball. Zion ball. Great defense right there to force that turnover. But we we need another big. These one big lineups ain’t gonna cut it, dog. Because this not even a big team we playing. So, but when you start playing them big teams, you can’t be playing Mah Peavey at the four. And you know, come on. That man, let’s get serious. Bad pass by Jose, but Carlo gets it. Jose was determined to throw alley on. He tried to throw the alley to Zion. It got deflected. Then he tried to draw it to Carlo. He was determined to draw three up. You see, defensively, Zion is setting the tone with them blocks and with that them that rebounding. He’s setting the tone, but we got to stop giving up offensive boards. That’s another thing I’m worried about. We give we gave up at least three to four offensive boards tonight. Giving up at least three to four offensive boards tells me that either our fundamentals are poor or we don’t have enough size out there. All right. Now, that was a a 50-50 ball. So, ain’t too much you can do about that. You can’t do you can’t do too much about that. That’s just how the ball bounced off the rim. So, who out there right now? Carlo, Jose, Hawkins, and Peavey. No pool. I’m surprised we ain’t see Pool yet. They probably feel like Haw get enough run. All right, that was a Brandon Ingram shot by Hawkins from the Midi. Hawkins up. It’s up to eight points. Okay. Yo, you know, I don’t mind us trying to get these deflections, but the Pelicans leaving their feet too much. Y’all notice that that the Pelicans like just leaving their feet way too much trying like we gambling for deflections. And I I you know, I respect the intensity. Well, what’s happening with my dog Detroit Warren, man? What’s happening with you, Warren? Shout out to Shout out to Detroit, man. What’s adding on? Ray say the rookie class looking promising from the little sample we had so far. Yeah. Yeah. I wish we could have saw Queen out here, man. I really wish we could have saw Queen, bro. Cuz Queen was figuring it out. That last game Queen got hurt. He was figuring it out. Yo, we got 55 people in here. Please smash the like button, family. We appreciate y’all rocking with us. Please smash the like button. All right, Hawkins. Oh my god. All right. That was a terrible shot, brother. Brother, that was a terrible shot. Look, so Ray Allen on the I don’t know if y’all heard the last broadcast. I don’t even know if y’all was awake, but Ray Allen was like, “Yo, you know, I want Hawkins. I be telling Hawkins, man, you need to holl at me so I can get you the game, you know, etc., etc.” Because they both with the Yukon, I believe. So, I’m like, that’s like me. That’s like Marshall Faulk telling me Chaz holl at me because we both from the ninth ward. Ray Allen Haw Jordan Hawkins is not you, brother. He he just ain’t. That was a great pass by Jose on that that dish to uh Looney. Looney going to the free throw line. It’s like what what good what good is um what good is Hawkins holling at Ray Allen going to do? Respectfully. Respectfully. You know what I’m saying? Respectfully. I just don’t see it. Yeah. Jonathan Ray Allen say Hawkins don’t be holling at him. But you know though, we live in a era where you know people people don’t really be wanting to ask for advice cuz you might he might feel like man I’m a lottery pick. I got this for on my own. What I need to talk to you for? You know what I’m saying? And that arrogance that arrogance get you get your head bust. That that’s not that’s not a good thing. All right. Great offensive board by Looney and the putback. Great offensive board by Looney with the putback. Like a Looney gonna have a couple 20 uh 20 rebound games this season, I believe. I know a couple people low on Looney, but Looney is transitional. That’s why I ain’t really tripping on Looney cuz to me, Looney is a co-starter. Like, he gonna co-star with Eve. He’s transitional. I still think they need another uh big though. I don’t even care if they call Dwight How. You You need You need another big. This somebody with size who physically imposing that can get a rebound and at least get in the way of the rim. Right now, nobody ain’t scared to drive against Carlo. Nobody ain’t scared to drive against Pey. Oh, good. Ah, see that wasn’t that wasn’t a bad pass that Fierce made to Looney. Just not Looney just fumbled the ball. That was a okay pass. It might have been deflected also. And see how dude just scored over Carlo right there cuz Carlo not really a rim defender. Carlo like he could do a chase down block or get you on the weak side, but Carlo not like no one’s scared to drive against Carlo. All right, so we got P back out there after a long rest. Pool, Fierce, and Sadique back out there. I hope they didn’t cool Sadique down too much. Fierce got lost on defense right there. Who Who had the push in her back? Carlo with the push in her back. See, that’s a Carlo. Carlo got to hit the weights. Carlo got to hit the weights cuz he getting kind of out muscled. He might got bad rebounding fundamentals too because his game is just run, jump, and dunk. That’s all Carlo game is. Carlo has nothing defensive about his game whatsoever. All right, we getting the defense is collapsing too much. Like we always Oh, there you go. See how Carlo just got up the court and dunk the ball. That’s Carlo’s game. Carlo somebody who they just tell run. Like don’t even attempt to rebound. Just go out there and run. And that was the philosophy with Zion a couple seasons ago. People was like, “Why Zion not rebounding?” Because he was supposed to uh go, he supposed to sprint out uh when the ball hit the rim. That was his uh duty or his assignment rather. Good help by Carlo. Good help by Carlo. See what I’m saying? Drive him to the weak side. Carlo got it. Ah, fierce. Fears. Was that a foul? What happened just now? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Calm down. Little more. I think Jackson Hayes might have been a better athlete though because Jackson Hayes was a hell of an athlete. Hell of an athlete. Terrible player, but a hell of an athlete. Oh, that was a take file in transition. Okay, so Jordan Pool just knocked down a free throw. So that hopefully that gets him back into more rhythm. My phone blowing up halfway home. My pager keep blowing up. Let’s see what that is. Okay. Good catch by Looney. Oh, what you going to do, Looney? Ah, Looney, are you crazy? Yo. All right. All right. All right. All right. I know what it is now. I know what it is now. Looney trying to prove that he got a lot left in the tank after uh Steve Kerr was hating on him. He trying to prove that he got a lot left in the tank. Looney got to calm down a little bit. He want to show more of his game because Looney got some offensive game. He just hasn’t had to show it. Ryan, what up? Ryan say he don’t. Ryan say he on E. He running on films. You know what I’m saying? He said he’s say Looney and Electric C. But Looney got to relax. Yeah. He trying to turn back the clock to high school. You Looney got to relax. Like then that was a nasty fall he just took like you know get it out your system. You know what I’m saying? Get it out your system so you we could you know Yeah. That that was a nasty fall. That was unnecessary. That could have been bad. That could have been bad. I ain’t like how that fall looked at all. All right. Carlo at the rim. We got to start making our free throws. Carlo missed his first free throw. I hope Carlo in the gym working on that corner three like I told him. Oh, that [ __ ] was halfway down. That’s not a bad miss. That was halfway down. Look, they they sub Looney out. Yeah, Looney, come sit next to me, dog. Like, you know, relax. Catch your breath. Catch your breath. Relax. He 29 going on 39. Yeah, Looney. A old 29 boy. That’s a old 29. Say, “Hire Nate McMillan if Willie gets fired.” Ain’t Nate McMillan, he’s an assistant somewhere, huh? Where is he at now? I wanted us to go after Kenny Atinson a few years ago to be honest. I wish that would have happened or when Eay first had his scandal. I would have really liked that. Great defense by Fizz right there. I would have really liked us to go after Eay. See I we got a two big lineup right now and 33 just scored over both of these dudes. So I don’t I don’t I don’t Oh boy. Oh my god. Pool hit him with the uh the spin then through the alley from damn near half caught the half caught the Carlo for the slam. Boy, Pool gonna be fun. Pool is gonna be a lot of fun, dog. Pool gonna be a lot of fun. Look at Sadique trying to get out there in transition. Watch it. Watch it. Watch this. Watch it. Oh, look at that [ __ ] Alley. And you know he couldn’t throw no alleys like that to Draymond. Look at that Alley. Carlo got some bunnies, dog. Carlo got some bunnies. That was a great pass. That was a great pass. For real. For real. That was nice. That was nice. I still I still feel like this game is a little too close personally. Game a little too close for my liking. Ah. All right. Come on. Let’s get a good look. Let’s get a good look. I want to see some of the twoman action between Mei and uh Pool or Mei and Fierce because they gonna be playing the majority of their minutes together if Fierce get run this season. All the way man all the way Fizz. There you go. All the way Fizz. Nice swooping score. If y’all notice all Fizz buckets been coming from um the left side. All his scoring been coming from the left side. Oh. Oh. P the move on. Oh. Oh, bro. I Oh, okay. He got fouled. I was about to say I about He did him dirty. I was about to say that’s the second time he pulled a spin out. But if y’all notice all Fier’s um buckets have come from the left side aside from that three. That’s interesting. That’s interesting. I gotta get uh my dog Utility Sports on the show. S what’s popping brother? He said give you a quick rundown what’s happening. Um right now Zion not he not doing a lot of scoring but he’s rebounding facilitating something. Uh Sadique Bay balling. Sadique Bay start up the game extremely uh on fire rebounding everything. Zion just got back in the game. Okay. Pool doing his thing. Handle look good. Fear is having a much better game. Jordan Hawkins started off doing well, but he, you know, those old I don’t want to speak too negatively. He gonna be all right. He’s going to be okay. But yeah, Fars look a lot more in control than he did last game. I maybe he just needed one game under his belt to kind of figure out some of the physicality. And this is still not like NBA physicality, but these dudes like fighting for their life, so and it’s pride, so they gonna be playing hard, too. They’re not exactly scrubs out there. Oh, good shot. That was a good midi by old boy. So, Pool got it. I don’t know why y’all keep trying to press P. How y’all think this going to work out? Fierce do him dirty. Oh. Oh, hell no. That’s off them. That’s off them. Fierce got to the rim, but he didn’t finish off the glass. That is nice that he using the glass, though. You got to do that more. But that that was off them. That was all them. That should have been uh Pelican’s ball. That should have been Pelican’s ball. Let’s see here. I wish I could have went back and heard what uh KG was talking about cuz I want to hear KG did he get a chance to highlight Zion and uh give him give him some toutelage on what he uh what he missing cuz I saw Boy. or or he said nothing important. He he wasn’t really talking about nothing. I saw that photo with Zion and KG. Everybody got pretty pretty excited. Me I was like I don’t know. Look, I like James Burggo but y’all y’all saw Bergo in the stream like this. I mean like he in he in the picture like this like yo what you doing? Like like homie what is you doing? You got Joe Dumos here champion. Kevin Garnett champion. That’s two Hall of Famers. And you got Zion Williamson right here. And you in the picture like what you doing? Like that that was that was kind of wild. I I thought that was crazy. I thought that was a little crazy. But thank God for uh Photoshop. I was able to take care of it. I handled it myself. Let’s see here. Phone blowing up. See what they talking about. Ah, man. I hope Looney ain’t I hope Looney ain’t hurt himself with that goofy ass play. That would be super disappointing because he really didn’t need to do that. I hope they just took him out as like, “All right, yo, come come take a breath because he really did not need to do what he did.” Okay, how y’all feeling out there? What y’all getting into tonight, man? Y’all stepping out after this game? What y’all What y’all doing? What’s popping Saturday? Let’s see. Y’all know y’all going to the Young Boy concert. Let’s see. Let’s check the box score real quick. I hope this site don’t explode while I’m checking the box score. All right. F having an efficient game. He only got one turnover so far. Having a pretty efficient game. Let me see. Jose only took one shot so far. Four assists though. Damn, Jose Hooper. I’m saying yeah, see everybody playing effectively and efficiently. Um, I want to see Eve Mei get a couple looks particularly in a twoman game with uh Zion and with Fierce or or with Pool also. I just want to see him get um get a couple looks. Booy got a concert in Marsville. Okay. Joe said, “Hell no. Let the Y have that.” He said, “Booy, Boo, man. When Booy supposed to turn himself in?” That’s crazy. That’s crazy. Booy, I’mma take that five. Go ahead, take that five. Okay, Zion still in the game. Let’s see how we finish this half, man. We need to finish this half on a good note. Zion, watch your man. See, Zion overh helping. Watch your man. Zion, stop overhelping. Stay with him, Zion. Stay with him. Ah, that’s soft ass call. Man, this dude look like that. He look like that actor from uh LA Confidential. Try to say he cooling. Don say November. Damn. Damn. Boozy turn himself in next month. Jesse Davidson says, “Who minutes Queen going to take?” Man, that’s a good one. I think Queen going to be in competition with Carlo for minutes. I think Carlo minutes are situational. Honestly, I think Carlo, you know, Queen might be situational, too. If Queen defense ain’t there, then his minutes might also be situational cuz I can think of more lineups that Carlo works in. Even if he not really on fire, he say take Looney. He said take Looney minutes. Hey, Looney next year is a team option. So [ __ ] he might he might be taking Looney minutes. Good. Oh, okay. Damn. I like that dive by Zion. I was hoping that we was going to see a dish by Bae. I know Baye was trying to dish the ball. I’m just call him Sadique. Sadique was trying to dish the ball to Zion, but he got fouled. Carlo athleticism of the factor. Yeah. Yeah. Carlo ability to get up and down the floor the way he does like even as a he can at least deflect balls and his vertical him as a vertical threat is something right. Damn. You can’t miss both free throws. Big dog. All right. We can’t we can’t do that. We got to make our free throws now. Can’t do that cuz that was like a Pelicans Achilles Hill last year. Well, it been a Pelicans Achilles Hill for years. missed free throws. These refs got some weird ass whistles. Why? That was a play on if you ask me. He said, “Bro, is that dandruff and great baby bed?” Nah, I mean it could be, but it’s probably just a few grays. Probably just a few grays. He need that Scotty Pippen. And Scotty Pippen be using that just for men. Oh, all right. Bae. All right. Sadique. Sadique trying to do too much. He trying to do too much. He trying to do too much. That that was unnecessary. So that’s uh damn Sadique missed two free throws. He hustled and got the you know a loose ball to give his team the possession the game, but then he turned it right back over and picks up a foul. So he he doing a little too much. My question is with Trey being out, let me see how many minutes everybody played so far. Zion at 12 minutes, Sadique at 13, Pool at 11. With Trey being out, I wonder how many more minutes do we see from Zion because Pool played into the second half last night, I believe. Oh, that was a foul. So, Sadique picks up a foul. Um, great dish from Zion. Way to play fast and get out. Great dish, but at the same time, all right, you got to make your free throws now. You just missed three in a row. So now you got an opportunity to redeem yourself. All right, he makes the first one. Make the first one. You say Zion play 20? You think Zion play 20? Yeah. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? I don’t want to keep calling bro. That’s why I’m I’m trying to call him Sadique. Like I don’t keep saying that. He says I play 20. I can see that. Well, if he played 20, it’s it’s two minutes left in this game. So, he think he start the third because if he start the third, I might come back for the third. I don’t think I’m sticking around for the fourth. He said, “I forgot they play. They got McDaniels.” Yeah, they got McDaniels. I think he played a little bit. Dee, I don’t like calling him Dee. Nah, Dee. Nah. No. To me, Dee is equally bad as Bae. To me, Dee is equally bad. I’ll just call him Sadique. I’ll call him Sadique. or SB. I’ll call him SB. Call him SB. Yeah, that’s safe. Good steal by Zion. Throw it up all the way fans. Oh, that’s that’s what I’m talking about. Defense turns the offense. Defense turns the offense. You got the steal by Zion. Kicks it to Sadique. Sadi looks up ahead, passes it to Fierce. The dudes who mopped the floor was still on the court. Fierce flushes it with the and one. That’s a hell of a play. Hell of a play sequence. That’s how you in the half. That’s how you in the half. Pale finish in November with a 911 record. You think so? You say you call him Obey. Maybe O. Maybe O. I’m out here in the DMV. So O. Yeah. Yeah. Much better game by Jeremiah FZ. Much better game. But that’s defense turning to offense right there. See, Zion, I know it. They ain’t no scouting report necessarily, but Zion got to stop going under that screen. I gota stop going under that screen cuz this game is way too close. Oh. Oh, Lord. Jordan Pul just shook the [ __ ] out of him. Good rebound, Zion. Good rebound. Good pass to Sadique. Sadique, give it up. Give it up, Sadique. There you go. Calm I calm down. Oh, douche. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. They playing and one basketball. They playing and one basketball. Another steal by Zion. Another. That’s what we do. Another steal by Zion. Fierce with the finish. This a hell of a game. This a hell of an end to the quarter. Well, to the half. Zion locked in playing defense. All right, Misi, you bit on that. Box out. Box out. Box out. Oh, that was a These boys balling. These boys balling. Sadique four for five for three. Balling. You understand me? Balling. You understand? Balling. Oh yeah. And P pool is like look out below. Like he he don’t care. He going for it. What we doing here? I got to see when we got the ball back. Give draw it. Draw it. Oh. Oh. All right. Okay. Now P had to destroy the ball there because he got the contact. But that was a terrible bad like Oh, they gave him three free throws on that. That’s a bad call, ref. But that that was an interesting sequence there because if you the Pelicans if you the Pelicans, you had 30 seconds left, right? You had 30 seconds left. Ideally, you go for a two for one, but the Pelicans didn’t go for a two for one. Now, Fierce kind of dribbled out the clock and then, you know, he was trying to give it to uh Zion. Got to Zion kicked it out the pool. Pool luckily bailed him out. Well, the ref kind of bailed Pool out with that call and he damn sure shouldn’t have got no three free throws. But the intensity that they playing with the half is what you want to see because this is going to be the key to how they play in the NBA this season. You got a rebound, turn the ball over, get out and well, force turnovers and get out in transition and score. You We just saw Fears with like what, three uh three or four fast break uh finishes. So, you gotta This This is how you got to play tonight. I mean, not in this last sequence, but tonight, I think Spizz had about three or four fast break finishes. Zion the only one that hasn’t gotten like a fast break bucket yet. That’s crazy, right? All right, come on. Let’s end this Let’s end this half with a stop. Let’s end this half with a stop, man. Oh, Peavey, come on now. Oh, good defense by Peavey. They called Oh, Peavey. Oh my goodness, Peavey. I spoke too soon. Peavey. Peavey look like a rookie out there. I ain’t gonna lie. Peavey looking like a rookie out there, son. He looking like a rookie out there. Pee Pebby look a little lost. You say Peave looking zesty on the bench. That’s cuz that’s that’s cuz you don’t got no mustache. Pe like you light skin with no mustache. Trust me cuz I I didn’t messed up my mustache a couple times. I had to shave it. When you lightkinn with no mustache, like if if you got to shave your mustache, just don’t leave the house. Cuz when I when I got to shave my mustache, I don’t leave the house. I just stay inside. I don’t I don’t be want, you know, I don’t be want no trouble. He said, “They got me hyped um during the preseason.” Yeah. Yeah. Because look, dog, the We got so little to look forward to. Shout shout out to Mama Murphy. Mama Murphy hit me up today uh on Twitter. She was like, “Yo, man. This how we need to see. This how we need to be in um Smoothie King Arena this season.” And I’m like, man, if the team is good, people gonna show up and they gonna support the team. But the team got to get a guy something to root for. If they playing like they played tonight, then people gonna be in the building. I know Ryan gonna be in the building. I know a Davis is going to be in the building. You know what I’m saying? They kicked me out the building, so you know I won’t be there, but I know y’all gonna be in the building and I know y’all gonna show up and show out. I know y’all gonna show up and show up. Say we don’t got BI and CJ slowing down the offense no more. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to CJ. CJ was a little, you know, CJ could be a little rat, but Brandon Brandon was definitely, you know, Whoa, what up my dog Shane? How you doing, brother? Brandon was definitely a ball stop. Balls. Brandon definitely was a boss. That was a terrible foul to end the half. That was a terrible foul to end the half. Terrible. Especially when you just went on a run like that. They kicked you out the building. What? No, they didn’t kick me out the building necessarily cuz you know I ain’t going. I I ain’t going. They They kicked the network. Well, you know what? Y’all want the truth? Here’s the truth. Here’s the truth. They didn’t even kick the network out the building. They didn’t even kick the network out the building. You have to renew your media credentials every uh like every season. You have to renew it, right? And they wanted us one of they was like, you know, one of the contingencies for us renewing the media credential was for us to like kiss ass and kind of be nice to the team the next season. And it was like, man, we ain’t, you know, we don’t play like that. No, we ain’t getting down. So, we was like, “We don’t want we don’t want it. We we not coming back. Y’all can go to hell.” You know what I’m saying? We we don’t want the we don’t want the credential no more. [ __ ] it. We don’t want it. And so, we we joke about the um you know, kicked us out the because it’s funny. You know what I’m saying? I blame myself for like making that a thing. Now, we had another incident that happened with one of the members. Now that’s that’s something different. But that ain’t had nothing to do with the network necessarily. Not the network. We just agreed not to deal with them no more. It had nothing to do with um them necessarily kicking us out of the building. Yeah, that dude look and Shane. Yeah, Jake, man. You know, Jake is buster. Jake’s a buster. Jake’s a buster. I’ve been I stalled Jake out on the on the strength of Justin. The Ross game. Nah. The Ros Nah, it wasn’t the Ross game. The Ross game a had nothing to do with it. I’m sure the Ross game a help, but it wasn’t the Ross game. Yo, y’all y’all got gave Ross a bad rap. No, you know who got a bad rap? Leo, right on Reddit, they had this crazy ass thing saying Leo got into it with somebody. I’m like, Leo, man, y’all crazy. Leo don’t care about no [ __ ] like that enough to be getting into it with people. It’s totally made up. Totally made up, son. Like it it’s crazy. If y’all want some lies, I can give you some lies. If y’all won’t go there. Let me see. Definitely not go in that building. I’m all the way in Georgia, man. Shout out to Georgia. Shout out to Georgia. Say Sadique Bay got more points than Z. Yeah, Sadique Bay. Well, Sadik Bay also takes a lot of threes, so that’s another reason. But Sadique Bay been w like incredibly efficient tonight. He took a couple like wild shots. I I still don’t see Sadique Bay as like, you know, a six-man type guy. I think Sadique Bay gonna have some quality games, of course, but I still would like to have that microwave type guy. You know what I’m saying? He said, uh, Jordan Hawkins would be so good as a catch and shoot shooter, but he’s trying to do too much. Well, I think because with Jordan, he’s not very tall and a lot of he gets a lot of his shots off off ball movement. like that’s how he generates looks for himself because he’s not really tall enough to shoot over people, shoot over defenders. So I think that’s one of the things that kind of like and also also King Sam, you know, a lot of time guys don’t see themselves as catch and shoot shooters. They like I’m a star like I got game y’all y’all sleeping on me. So role players got to learn in their own time, bro. Stout man, what’s happening big dog? He said they will win no they will win more than 31 games this year. Vegas too. Oh yeah, Vegas is tripping. Vegas is tripping. I understand it. I think a lot of that comes from people just don’t like Joe Dumos for some reason. Honestly, he said, “Y’all got into it with Jake.” Nah, nah, nah, nah. Ain’t never got into it with Jake. They ain’t never got to with Jake. Jake Jake just a hater, son. Jake’s a hater. And Jake be stealing. Jake be stealing content, though. He be stealing people ideas and [ __ ] Jake Jake a buster. Jake a buster. I don’t even, you know, I used I used to like troll him every once in a while just to just to get at him. But now I’d be like whatever. Like it as at a certain point it’s like bullying and I ain’t no bully. So you know I don’t even trip on it no more. JB Kadik Field or Ryan Anderson Miritic role. Um I don’t think he’s going to be as efficient as Ryan Anderson. Ryan Anderson was incredible and Ryan Anderson had a lot of fire post moves. He was good. He was good on the offensive boards. Miritic. I don’t know if Sadique is capable of as explosive offensive outputs as Miritic, but I do think he could give you I think Sadique can give you a good 12 to 13 points a night on solid efficiency. I I I do think so. And but the thing is he might be able to give you more than that because you got a lot of people that can collapse the defense and um find looks for him. And shout out to Ryan, he say and he a better defender than Miritz. damn sure a better defender than um Ryan Anderson. Ryan Anderson couldn’t he couldn’t he ain’t even know how to do self-defense. So he he definitely wasn’t no good defender when the Drake drop. Yo, you know what? I got the Jake disc. I got it in the tuck. I got it in the tuck. I just never, you know, I ain’t put it out off the strength. You know, I told Justin, Justin stalls him out. You know, Justin my man, so I’m not gonna, you know, I ain’t gonna put my dog in no bad spot. But tell you something, [ __ ] Jake talking crazy. I’m have to deal with him. We g We gonna see. But I don’t I don’t think he gonna cross the line no more, though. He ain’t He ain’t gonna do it. He ain’t gonna do it. He I don’t want to say too much. He He ain’t gonna do it, though. We’ll see. We’ll see. He said, “What do you think Carlo fits in the rotation?” Honestly, Shane, I think Carlo is the only true power forward on the roster right now, aside from Queen because I think Queen gonna be a uh Don’t do it, dog. It’s just not worth the deal for I think I think Queen is going to be a four at this level. Um, but I think Carlo is one of them like X factor type players to where like you put Carlo in the game. Y’all remember Kenneth Fere and like Montre Harrow. Of course, he’s not as good as either one of those players, but he’s one of those players that you put in the game, he can get you get you 10 points in 10 minutes just by running, getting offensive rebounds, getting out in transition. Like he he can be that for you and some nights he just won’t play. He said, “Asa, do you prefer Herb off the bench if everyone’s healthy?” Personally, I prefer Herb off the bench just because only because I think the Pelicans are going to struggle with rebounding and the Pelicans need another The Pelicans need a traditional power forward in my opinion. Sizewise, they need somebody that’s like 610 out there with um Looney or Mei in my opinion. I That’s why I really wanted us to get John Collins, bro. really did. Jonathan Isaac, Jonathan Isaac defensively is a animal. Jonathan Isaac defensively is an animal, dog. He just never stay healthy. Like, but defensively, he’s an animal. He said, “I prefer DJ Trader.” He does, too. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of I kind of I kind of want DJ, you know, I I like I like the John Murray a lot, man. Individually as a player, but I think $30 million, Achilles, you know, a lot of they got a lot of backcourt players on this roster already. I think I think if you can move him for up upgrade in that front court, you you do it and you don’t look back for real. For real. You say Tyrese got arrested. Yeah, Tyreek getting his Michael Vic on. allegedly say his dog attacked the neighbor’s dog or something. Allegedly, Tyrese is Tyrese ain’t never in the in the news for nothing good. Tyrese always on the TV crying and [ __ ] like T never around for nothing good. But yet, come on y’all. I’m fighting for my life out here, y’all. Like, god damn Tyrese, give it a break. Give it a break. Sean Mitch say Pelicans might have the most three-point shooting this season we’ve seen since Zion’s been drafted. Yeah. Yeah. This that’s why I wanted to keep Antonio Reeves, bro. That’s really why I wanted to keep Antonio Reeves because Hawkins three-point shooting isn’t reliable. Like, you know what I’m saying? Hawkins, he can have hot games where you know he could he go for 30, but more often than not, more often than not, he gonna be wildly inefficient. He got to take 20 shots to get 21 points. Whereas Antonio Reeves was so efficient from beyond the off dog. That’s why I really wanted to keep Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan in New York with the Knicks right now. Matt Ryan is with the Knicks. Balling in New York. I hope them New York tax is eating his ass up. You should have stayed in New Orleans. But it ain’t his fault though. He got he got waved by the Pelicans. Bad decision by Griff. We got 74 people in the building, man. Make sure y’all smash the like button since we in here. Let’s see what the third quarter looking like since we in here chilling. You understand? Because it looked like, let me see what the minutes kind of looking like. So if y’all think Zion playing 20, then that mean he got about five more minutes. Pool only at Pool only had 13 minutes going on 14. I think I still think we see I think Fear is gonna get like 25 minutes. He had 14. Mei probably Mei probably play the rest of the game. Damn there. Cuz he had 10 minutes. I don’t think we see no more Looney. If Well, I don’t know if Looney healthy. We might see him start the third, but I don’t need to see any more Looney. I’ll say that. I think Looney had too much dip on his chip. The Pelicans 17 from 23 from the um the free throw line. They got 23 free throws. That’s a good That’s a good um number there. And that’s including the two that uh Sadique Bay missed. You know, he not going to traditionally miss many free throws. So, that’s pretty good. That’s pretty good. How we looking on the rebound side? Got 31 rebounds. Let me see. Three offensive boards. That’s not good enough. Especially when you got Mei and Zion out there. You got to get more offensive boards than that. Got to get more. That’s where the lack of size really comes into play cuz this ain’t even a big team. So what? Whoa. What up Chris? What’s Pa? This ain’t even like a big team. So, you know what you going to do when you got to face the real bigs in the league like the you know what you gonna do against them dudes? So, well, and not to knock Looney because Looney again, Looney knows how to take up space and box out and he can he knows how to get boards, but the other team got to be fundamentally sound to know when to crash, when to get out and run, etc. And these are some things that they never necessarily learn. So, it’s like you gonna be learning on the job. That’s why I really want these dudes to play together as much as possible. Make sure y’all smashing the like button and shed a live, man. We in here, man. We supporting these dudes, bro. We in here for sure. For sure. Shout out to everybody in the chat also, man. Appreciate y’all. Make sure y’all subscribe to the channel. And yo, if y’all in here, DM me your email addresses. Y’all can hit me on Twitter at Cheddar Chaz or on Instagram, Cheddar Chaz. DM me your email addresses because I’m doing a giveaway. No, I’m doing a raffle. I’m doing a raffle uh for the preseason and I’mma do another probably one or two for the regular season. If they’re doing good, I might do about two or three raffles. If they’re doing bad, you probably get one in the in the regular season. But make sure you DM DM me email address so you can enter uh for a chance to win the raffle. You understand? Let’s see here. Let’s see here. Yeah, they trash. I’m like, y’all don’t know how hard it is to do recaps for a bad team, dog. Y’all do not understand how hard it is, especially doing that uh that uh what series was that? That OKC series. Oh my god. Oh my god, that [ __ ] was terrible. I’m like, no. I felt like Lou D was defending me. Shane said, “You miss Brandon Boston?” Yeah, Brandon Boston went overseas, man. I thought Brandon Boston was going to stick around because he was cool with um he cool with Zion, but you know, they probably didn’t want to wait for him to um his contract to become guaranteed or nothing like that. Well, they had a team option if I’m not mistaken. They had a team option and he was out with he had an ankle injury, so they was like, if you notice, he didn’t play much of the rest of the year. And that’s also Brandon Boston is also a Rich Paul client. So they probably was like, “We got rid of one Rich Paul client. Brandon’s a Rich Paul client. The Jante is a Rich Paul client. And Dejonte don’t seem too happy to be here. So maybe we just need to, you know, get Rich Paul about the building.” That could have had something to do with it. Shane, how hurt is her? We don’t know, bro. Whoa. What’s up by you sniper? How you doing, bro? Appreciate you tapping in, my dog. We don’t know, bro. Um I hope he plays some preseason games. we desperately need him to. But that this injury just seemed like it came out of nowhere, dog. Like that’s the thing that’s concerning to me because I’m like I knew about like if they were just saying he had a sore thumb. All right, I know about that because I see the rapping. But this injury here, it just came out of nowhere. And that kind of got me like well again when did he do it? What’s the severity of it? You know what I’m saying? Calvin said, “We always hurt, man. It sucks.” Yeah. But again, hopefully hopefully this is just because, you know, it’s preeason. It’s precautionary. Then it was a long flight. Like a I spoke about this earlier, but a flight that long, 20 hours though for athletes of this size. It It’s not It’s not a 20- hour flight would [ __ ] us up like as regular people. So imagine like, you know, a six, seven athlete, you know what I’m saying? Just being cramped up on a plane for 20 hours. It couldn’t have been comfortable. couldn’t have been comfortable basketball. Who has a better season? In Angram Matrey? Uh, I guess it depends on what you mean by better season individually. They got a lot of mouths to feed in uh Toronto. I don’t really understand how Brandon fit that roster because you got Grady Dick, RJ Barrett, Scotty Bones, Emanuel Quigley, and I think did they draft Noah or did Chicago draft Noah? They but they just got a lot of miles to feed on that roster. He said, “Uh, good man. Hawkins is Hawk’s looking better. Fear is gaining confidence. He’s gonna be all right, man. I’m pumped for this season. Six seed booking.” Six seed. I think if they healthy, they might, um, they might could get more. Denzel, he said Trey, cuz Brandon only gonna play 40 games. He said Hurry gonna get reevaluated in two weeks. God, I hope not. Oh, okay. Wait a minute now, y’all. We back and it’s looking like it’s looking like no Zion for the second half. So Jordan Pool still out there. Zion only played 13 minutes but played pretty hard. So what we going to do? We going to do the third quarter y’all and we going to dip after the third quarter. We gonna Y’all good with that? We gonna rock out for the third quarter and then we gonna dip. [ __ ] Well, what up, man? I wanted to see um I did want to see some more Zion and Poo out there, but all right, let’s see what we doing. Let’s see what we doing, man. I appreciate y’all rocking with me, man, on Saturday here. D Oh, for sure. By Snipers, it’s a pleasure to have y’all, man. I appreciate y’all tuning in with me. All right. Damn, Mei. Me out there balling. That’s a second block by Mei. I’m telling y’all though, Mei got potential, bro. It’s just gonna take him. He like I spoke about this before. Mei is such an intellectual guy like just on a human level that he thought that he could just move on before he mastered the little things like defensive rebound and rim defense etc. He tried to start working on his offensive game. It’s like nah bro you got a little ways to go defensively and if you master that you’re going to be in this league for a long time. Look at that pass. Great pass by Mei to Peavey. Peavey with another three on the uh is that the left left wing. Nice shot by Peavey. Peavey hit two threes tonight. That’s what we need. We need three and D from him. Pause. All right. Now, ain’t too much you can do about that that rebound, but somebody got to talk to Mei and let him know somebody behind him. Oh [ __ ] Mei with another assist. Nice finish by Jordan Pool on the layup. Jordan Pool must think he me out there. Hold up. Hold up. Ah, twoman game. Get off of me. That boy pool finished with the wrong hand and everything. Pull up to 15 points. Oh god. So we give up another offensive board. We give up another offensive board. All right. That we got lucky there. Sadique Bay with a Oh, get off of him. Get off of me. Sadique Bay out there like Tom Shepard. Sadique Bay got 19 points. 19 points for Sadi Bay. So [ __ ] Sadique Bay got the preseason high. No, Sadi Bay got what? That’s saying is it 21 or 19? Either way, he got the preseason high right now. Either way, he hooping. He is hooping. He’s hooping. So they out there. They focus for the second half. They still focus. He What did he say? Mei better start. He don’t get hurt. We have so much depth. more depth than people realize. Got to grab these boards, man. Yeah, bro. We got to grab the rebounds, dog. Like, I’m telling you, that’s something that’s haunted us in the past, not being able to box out. We giving up way too many offensive boards. Let me see how many offensive boards they got. Melbourne got Melvin got eight offensive rebounds. Eight. That’s That’s too much, dog. Like, come on. They ain’t got a ton of signs out there. Okay. Eve Eve with his own offensive board or hustle. Oh. Oh. Pee with the offensive board. Feeds Eve for the slam dunk. That’s Eve first points of the night. Oh boy. I thought Eve had another block right there. They called a foul on Pool. I thought Eve had another block right there. That was nice. That was nice. But BJ Jackson, you accidentally put Zion for 10 point. Yo, you that that should have been money in the bank. You would think, right? You would think that’ be money in the bank. [ __ ] Especially in the post game. He was saying he hoping that they let him play more. Damn, Z had eight points. I feel played. I would feel played. Eight points. This had eight points, nine rebounds. I feel played if I would be Jackson. Yeah, he done for the night. I feel played. Ben said, “I can see Peavey.” Yeah, he said, “Shit, red.” Yeah, I feel played by that. I ain’t gonna lie. I was like, nah, y’all [ __ ] did that to me personally. Y’all knew I was betting. I can see Peavey getting some run this year. Willie Green guy. I can see him getting a look, especially if if uh Hawkins don’t shake out. I can see him definitely getting a look there. Oh, Peavey with the alley. Yo, Peavey and Mei got some chemistry. Oh, Peavey and Mei got some chemistry, dog. Peavey and Mei got some chemistry. And we give up another offensive rebound. Oh my god. Give up another offensive rebound. Well, that was a block. That was a block by uh that looked like a block by PE. So, I don’t know if I count that. No, we gave up another one. What are we doing? So, Pee get the block and um Mei don’t box out properly and they then we gave that up. All right. So, now Sadique Bay officially has uh 21 points. So, Sadique Bay got the uh preseason high right now. Sadique Bay out there with the preseason high. And we gave up another offensive rebound. Oh my god. Oh my god. That’s Bro. Come on, bro. Come on, bro. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on, bro. Bro, we need more size out there, dog. We need Westbrook. We need We need a Russell Westbrook type player out there, dog. We need somebody that’s gonna crash the boards relentlessly. 504, what’s happening, man? What happening? 504. Ronald, what’s up, big dog? He said, “Is this a good good game for the Pils or does his team just suck?” It’s a quality game for the Pelicans. They got things that they could work on, though. Yo, R 504, if I know you already got a Brandon Ingram jersey. Just tape over his name and put uh Michael Peavey. Michael Peavey is the best player for the Pelicans to ever wear 14 off the rip. So he said Ray the Ray say the whole crew going to lie tonight. Nah, I think I think they just gonna hold out for the show tomorrow and do the recap tomorrow. We’ll probably do it and talk about a couple things. Shout out to my dog DJ, man. Trey Murphy, he released the uh he got a docu series. Oh, all right. For sure. For sure. Uh he got a docu series and my dog DJ I think he uh the one who shot it. It’s called Day in the Life of 25. So make sure y’all check that out, man. We gonna be talking about some of that tomorrow. For sure. For sure. Ke Ryan say the team just trash. Kelvin say loud four point. Yeah. Y’all saying me need to start not with this rebounding. I ain’t gonna hold you. I ain’t gonna hold you. and Mei, my dog. But we we got to rebound better. We got to rebound better. I’mma have to highlight him cuz this this rebounding looking looking looking bad. It’s looking bad, y’all. It’s looking bad. You can’t give up rebounds like this. You just can’t do it. A team like they hitting some threes, but a team with better shooters, they’ll make your life hell giving up rebounds like this. All right, we got Fars out there. Oh, I thought FZ was about to go all the way. Hold up. Oh, look at that cut. Great cut, Bob. Ah, damn. Oh, that was a [ __ ] up miss by Peavey. That was a great cut by Peavey. But the defender did just enough did just enough to stop him from making it. But that’s why you never give up on a play. But that was a great cut by Peavey. God damn. That was a great cut and great dish by uh Fizz. Oh, get off me. Oh, boy. I thought Oh, good dish. Go up, Mezy. Go up. Ah, [ __ ] That was a nice move by Mei. He put a little too much on that one, but that’s a nice move by me. And no one gets back on defense. Call timeout, Willie. Time out. All right. Good. All right. God damn. Yeah, he overthought that. He overthought that. He said, “Damn, how y’all watching the game?” I’m watching through uh Lee Pass. Whoa. What up, Clarence? What’s up, my dog? Yeah, Peavey out there. PE got what you call gusto. He got gusto. Yeah. Ryan Zion was up to I think uh eight or nine rebounds. He was definitely rebounding. He said Looney can’t make that move. Nah. Luna got two hip replacements. Looney Looney can’t do that. Luna can’t do that at all. Not at all. I don’t think so. Not at all. G the artist. How Fier looking? F balling out there. F having a hell of a uh a bounceback game. He hooping out there is saying he can’t rebound, chase blocks. His teammate got a cr. Yeah. Yay. got to crash. That’s why we need we need a Russell Westbrook type though. We need some We need more rebound in front of the perimeter because we just don’t have the bigs. We just we just don’t have the bigs at the moment that could like on the defensive boards. Offensive boards, Mi can do it. Zion can do it. If you consider Zion a big, which I don’t, but he can get you the offensive boards, but for the defensive boards, we need another big. Detroit Warren, you say me very good footwork in the post, bro. has pulled off some crazy [ __ ] down there in a few. Yeah, me got some some quality footwork. If you watch um his offseason tape and if you watch him when he was playing with uh his home country, he was balling. He was balling in the post. Xavier say, “Imagine Zion got back and just for wait got back in just for shits and giggles.” You know, they they was joking about that last time. Zion better sit his ass down. He better sit his ass down somewhere. But they um they were joking about that last time. I’m curious to see how long these injuries to Herb and Trey keep them out because if you remember last off seasonason Brandon didn’t play in the well last preseason Brandon didn’t play in the preseason. Trey didn’t play and then by the time Brandon came back, Zion wasn’t playing no more. So, we can’t do that. This we we we y’all got to come back. Put some dirt on it. Come back. We need you. We need you. Yo, who y’all like out the two-way guys? Because I don’t really I don’t think none of these dudes making a roster to be honest. I I mean, I think the dude from Mcnes, he got the best shot. And maybe Trey Alexander, but I don’t think Trey Alexander very good neither. But who y’all like out these uh out these two guys? Trey Alexander, Garrison Brooks, Hunter Dickerson, Jaylen McDaniels, Bryce Mc Bryce McGallan and Zion real tight. Um Jayen Springer who hasn’t played yet. I think he hurt. So that probably hurt his chances. Unless he was just a camp body and you got Christian Shimite from Mcg. So what y’all think that now boy say meet Jordan Pool but become the next Jordan pool. All right. Oh lord. Jose hurt again. Jose hurt again. Jose is hurt again. Jose hurt again. Water is wet and Jose is hurt again. My god. My god. My god. This is Jose’s second lower body injury in well this the preseason, but this is Jose’s second injury before before the the NBA season. He got hurt playing for the national team and he got hurt just now. Jose keeps these weird ankle and knee injuries. Jose is a small guy. He plays really hard and he walking it off, but you know, he’s a smaller guy, man. You know, he like this [ __ ] is tough. I God bless him. I hope he’s okay. But he he just put his he just put his head over his I mean his head in his jersey. You You said Ethan, you said something popped in his knee. You think so? And knee to knee. Warren, you said knee to knee. Let me check the Let me see the replay. because it looked like he just overextended his knee to me. Damn. So, if he overextended his knee, depending on the severity, he might have like a little bone bruise. It didn’t look that serious like what Brandon had, but man man, that’s why we got to get another point guard, dog. Gotta get another point guard. Gotta get another point guard. He said F about to do to Jose how Jose did to Kyra. Well, what up Nick Beam? Um if Yeah. If Fierce keep playing the way he’s playing tonight, that spot is his. The thing See, the thing with Jose was the thing he had over uh Fierce is his ability to stretch the floor. Jose can shoot and Jose got iname experience. You know, he been in the league for some years. So that professionalism, that experience was his advantage. But I think, man, you got to call Russell Westbrook, dog, for real. Please, please call Russell Westbrook, though. This a sign. All right, so McGowan’s out there. All right, we gave up some more offensive rebounds, y’all. Whoopde-doo. Whoopde-doo. You already know how that go. We got 80 people in the building, man. Make sure y’all smash the like button, man. I appreciate y’all rocking with us. Make sure y’all smash the like button. Share the stream. Be sure to DM me y’all email address to in uh the raffle. All right, Eve. I Eve with the muchneeded basket. Much needed basket. Yo, so the thing that Jeremiah Fizz does that I like also is that he gets to the rim and whether he makes or misses the shot, he creates offensive rebound opportunities for a guy like Eve Meisy. Like, you know, it’s Kobe assist pretty much. And Tariq Evans used to do that too. Get to the rim. He might miss a shot, but the it’s it’s not a bad shot, so you get a friendly bounce typically. We gave him another offensive rebound. What the [ __ ] is y’all doing? Oh my god, man. What is these dudes doing, bro? What is y’all [ __ ] doing? The [ __ ] is y’all doing? Come on, son. That’s ridiculous, bro. Find the ball. Put a body on a body. Pause. Oh, nice drive by Manson for the easy alley to Eve, man. That [ __ ] concerning, son. On the real. I ain’t going to hold you. That [ __ ] concerning. That [ __ ] [ __ ] concerning, bro. That [ __ ] is concerning. The fact that we can’t get the [ __ ] keep them [ __ ] off the offensive boards is concerning. That is concerning. For real. For real. They got DMs on YouTube. No. 50. Uh, hit me on Twitter or on Instagram, Cheddar Chaz. Cheddar Chaz. Oh, and Looney looked like he all right. He was walking Jose to the uh to the locker room. He look he might be all right. Westbrook ain’t coming up the bench for I don’t think Westbrook coming to New Orleans to be honest. I don’t like according to I don’t know though that he might have he might have felt that way when he had options. Right now he ain’t got no options. I’m saying with y’all and [ __ ] you know you ain’t getting [ __ ] uh you know you ain’t getting Ben Simmons. Not that you would want him but you ain’t getting Ben Simmons either. But dog the the the picking so slim with the point guard position. I don’t know where MueL folks at. Um you got Corey Joseph. You ain’t got a lot of like cold bloodooded point guards available though. Like so you you have to count on either Fierce, Springer, Jose. Like you just ain’t got a lot of good options out there that back court, bro. That’s still available. That’s a tough thing. You know what I’m saying? and say, “I’ll take se I mean, I’ll take Ben 71 to play.” Hey, I mean, [ __ ] if he gonna play, he ain’t going to have he ain’t going to be worrying about his back. I don’t care. Go ahead. I mean, he got the pedigree. Let him let him see, you know, let’s see what he can do. Patrick Beverly would be cool. Nah, you know, it’ll be interesting to see what Patrick Beverly still got in the tank. Patrick Beverly seemed like a bit of a headcase though because I’m wondering why nobody ever want to keep Patrick Beverly. Like if you notice, nobody ever want to keep him. Like he just keep he keep getting traded. But that’s why I said you need somebody like Naji. Like Naji would have been perfect because Naji can handle the ball. He could kind of orchestrate the offense and he can scope. But I think I think you desperately I was saying Russell Westbrook before this, but you absolutely need somebody like Russell Westbrook. only one you said Chanty like CJ. Uh I mean like CJ Garner Johnson. Yeah. But yeah, I probably give CJ a little more credit though cuz CJ was taking teams to like big playoff wins in the Super Bowl. Bou said Pat Bev is Jose but a headcase. Yeah. I don’t Can Pat Bev still shoot? Shane say Ben Simmons Zion lineup would take 20 years off my life. Oh yeah, I would pro I would never play them two together ever. I would never play them two together. Them that that would be two number one picks who who only meet in the locker room in pregame. Y’all y’all would not be playing together. Oh, great. We gave up another offensive rebound. How awesome is that? Yeah. See, this is why this is why I don’t think you’re gonna see Eve starting to be honest. It’s not all Eve responsibility, of course, but you can’t you got to be able to get defensive boards, though. You got to be able to keep them off the glass, bro. And we going small again with the small ass lineup because we don’t have enough bigs available. My thing is, won’t you just play Hunter Dickson? Like, if you need a big body out there, just throw Hunter Dickson out there because you’ve given up way too many offensive boards. You can’t play small. This team can’t play small. That’s the revelation I’m I’m taking away from this preseason so far. They can’t play small. Rebounding was an issue last game. It’s an issue this game. You can’t play small. Can’t do it. Can’t do it. Can’t play small. Ain’t going to be able to do it. Let me see. Jose better play. Man, wait. Are you sure Russell will want to come here? Darius Jo say um I know he not a big fan of the city itself. I don’t know about the team and I don’t know what his options are because if he ain’t got a lot of employment options, you know, [ __ ] take that three, four million just off GP. Uh, Hawkins, you got to make that. You got to make that, Hawkins. You got to make that. Got to make that. But yeah, I you know, [ __ ] take that little money off GP. You know what I’m saying? Uh oh, and Troy Weaver, you know, Troy Weaver discovered uh Russell Westbrook and they still got a relationship. So maybe maybe you can convince him, “Look, bro, we just want you to come. You gonna run the entire second unit. You could be sixman of the year. How nice would that be? A MVP and sixman of the year. You got all the freedom in the world.” You know, you could [ __ ] him and hopefully he take the bait, but I don’t know. Oh, Fizz, you got you’re doing a lot. That was a terrible possession by Jeremiah Fars right now. Way too much dribbling. Terrible possession. Terrible possession. Terrible possession. See, without Jose out there, you don’t have a ton of organization with the uh with the half court. That’s the thing. Like Jeremiah Fez, he’s so young. It’s like if you running a, you know, in transition, cool. But in the half court, you’re gonna run into some issues. Oh. Get off of me. Mei took that boy to school just now. Mei took that boy to school just now. Took that boy to school just now. Shout out to Ean Mei with a quality offensive game. But on them that on that on them defensive boards, man, I hope we taking notes cuz we gonna need some help. Like I anticipate the other team to get all the defense the offensive rebounds. Like all of them. That that that’s a crazy thing. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying too, Z. For sure. For sure. And the opposition small. It ain’t like you know the oppos like it ain’t like we playing against some Giants out there. We just not getting the ball. We just not putting a body on the body. It’s crazy. And this been a problem since last season. That’s how you know it’s like it’s a ongoing issue. It’s been it’s been a problem since last season. This is unacceptable. This is unacceptable here. Lord Jordan Hawkins can’t dribble though. He cannot dribble. John Hawkins cannot dribble. That’s crazy. Um. All right. All right. All right. Let’s see. Can we get a stop here? That’s good defense by Trey Alexander. Good rebound by Peavey. Now, I’mma tell y’all, Peavey is nice in the transition. Peavey is nice in transition. Oh, good kick out to Carlo. Ah, Carlo, you got to make that. That’s how you gonna get your money, Carlo. You got to make them shots. Well, y’all check at uh Oh, Bitcoin. Damn, y’all. Bitcoin up to 124,900. Bitcoin at an all-time high. For sure. For sure. This is not financial advice. We gonna have to [ __ ] around and sign Thon Maker or somebody. We going We going have to Yo, y’all saw that. That I think that’s Ste Maker. No, man. What’s the other dude, man? Oh, it’s the other dude, not thine maker. But this dude, he becoming a uh a fireman. He’s a fireman now. [ __ ] 7 foot fire. He ain’t going even need a ladder. Jal. Yeah, Jelle still playing overseas. I wouldn’t mind Jal in the building. Just off GP. That’s realistic though with Zion leading the second unit. Taco. Yeah, Taco Fall. Taco Fall is a fireman now. 17 offensive rebounds. They got more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds. Shout D Ron. That’s dog. That’s insane. That’s insane. And that’s an ongoing issue for the Pelicans. You can only address that really by bringing in some rebounding talent because I know you telling them to put emphasis on it. You can only Damn, they don’t have a Pelicans don’t have a point guard on the floor right now. So, but yeah, you can only address that by bringing in rebounding talent, dog. Ain’t a ain’t going to be no way for you to address that with this roster. Like you gonna have to get some some outsourced talent. Oh my god. Hawkins. Hawkins, go sit down, please. Hawkins, have a seat. Have a goddamn seat. Good defense by McDaniels, man. Generating some offense. That’s Oh my god. Oh my goodness. All right. Whoa. What up, Corey? Now, my my channel was a music channel. This was a music channel. A lot of people like didn’t they don’t really know like the people on the music channel, they didn’t really know that I do the sports thing. And the people who see me on BKM, they didn’t really know I do the music thing. So that’s why this channel got way more subs. But I had this channel for a minute. I I ain’t upload in a minute. But I got some music dropping soon. I ain’t uploading a minute though. I’m trying I’m trying to do both things, man. I’m trying to I’m trying to push this network I’m doing. All right. Back to back, back to back shots by Hawkins. Man, I can dig it. I can dig it. Let’s see what Hawkins box score go looking like. Hold up. Hawkins is 12 points on 10 shots. That is not good. Okay. Um 12 points on 10 shots. That’s not That’s not good. It’s not very good. It’s not very good. But but he playing good enough to be traded and and that’s the good thing. You probably get a second for him. I’m telling you the pel that’s why I wanted like air coffee and like a couple other dudes who like you know you can you can semirust you know what I’m saying with that with that uh them scoring opportunities with that second unit because I I don’t trust Hawkins at all. I I just don’t. I really don’t. That’s why, man, that’s why I wanted to keep Antonio Reeves, too. Oh, nice drive by McDonald’s, but he couldn’t finish. All right, y’all. The Pelicans end it. We gonna end it right here. We appre Man, I appreciate everybody that rock with me on the stream tonight, man. For sure. For sure. I appreciate y’all, man. So, Pelicans end of the third quarter 99, Southeast Melbourne, Phoenix 75. Um, my MVP of the game, I’mma have to say, of course, Sadique Bay. Sadique Bay six and nine from the field, four from six, four of six from beyond the arc, five and seven from the free throw line, six rebounds, three assists, only one turnover, two fouls, 21 points, plus minus 27. Dude was balling. Homie was balling. Zion got nine rebounds, uh, eight points. Uh, Joy Pool, not a crazy efficient night, but got to the free throw line, eight of eight from the free throw line, 15 points, four assists. Jeremiah Fizz with the bounceback game. He also got 12 points on 10 shots. Um, one of two from a uh, one free throw make, not a lot of turnovers. That’s good. Only two turnovers. One I remember vividly. Uh, two, what’s that? Uh, three assists. Michael Peavey, he having a solid game. Eve Mey, you know, having a solid offensive game, leaving a lot to be desired on them rebounds, dog. Like Melurn got 17 offensive boards, son. 17 of them [ __ ] And the Pelicans got six. I hope Kavon Looney good. I’mma keep y’all updated on the health situation with Jose, Kavon, Trey, and Herb. I saw Trey walking Jose to the locker room also. So, he on his feet. He ain’t in no boot or nothing that I saw. So, we should be all right. But yeah, man.
