He turned quick.

Hey, look.

You can tell somebody's child or maybe his

I forget what we were talking about.

I forget what we were talking about,

but kids came up.

and uh and it was i i think

i want to say my homeboy was talking

a point where we got to talking about

She had the moments.

That that's me.

That, that, that was on me.

See,

that's why you gotta be honest for sure.

You gotta know when this is coming through

your child for sure.

Um,

But man, how y'all doing, man,

before we get into these topics we got

this evening?

How y'all doing?

Ladies first.

Y'all already know how I am.

I'm blessed and black.

The two best things to be,

blessed and black.

You know.

You already know.

Another day above ground is a good day.

You know it.

You know it.

Even if it's hot as hell outside.

Who you telling?

And my air went out again.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Listen,

I've been getting my ass kicked low-key.

But you know what?

I'm blessed.

I'm not going to even complain.

There's people in far worse situations

than I am.

So, God, I know you hear me.

I'm blessed.

I'm not complaining by any means.

Absolutely.

You've been like, man,

I've been getting my ass kicked.

But there's so many people who have been

getting their ass kicked who can't even

help themselves.

Listen,

I ain't sleeping outside in this heat,

so let me just go ahead and shut

up.

Speaking of that heat,

if I let y'all go,

speaking of this heat, listen, I never...

We all know how the police are,

and I never want police fucking with

people,

but you teenagers who be outside with

these hoodies and the hoods on your head,

you're just asking for the police to fuck

with you because what's wrong with you?

Take that shit off.

It is a hundred degrees outside.

Why you got that shit on, man?

Them most of the kids I be talking

about,

I did see some kid saying that he

has eczema and the sun irritates his skin.

So for people with special things going

on, cool.

But if you're just wearing it because I

guess it's a trend for young kids to

do that now, I really don't get that,

honestly.

Every time I see somebody with a hoodie

on in the summertime,

I literally think they're schizophrenic

every summertime.

What's wrong with that?

That's what I'm saying.

You just asking for somebody...

would have bashed the fuck with you at

that point.

And then y'all be in groups with hoodies

and jackets and shit on.

Nike checks at a hundred degrees.

It's crazy.

And a shysty.

I know that shit stink on the inside.

I know it stink.

Imagine when they get home and they take

their jacket off, brother.

Motherfuckers.

Musty as can be.

I'd be so hot.

I'd be so hot seeing kids outside like

that, dog.

I'd be so irritated.

So irritated, but

I just want to get it off my

chest, man.

That pisses me off.

Real quick,

I wonder what the purpose of it is.

That person was like, my ops.

I'm trying to hide from my ops.

You are in broad daylight.

Nigga, what are you talking about?

Like, man, you're hot, bro.

It's a hundred degrees.

Right, like, come on, man.

Like, this is...

It's getting really bad out here,

but I just want to get it off

my chest because it's hot again.

Okay, yep.

See?

They said it's really hot and worse.

It's humid, but I have a skin issue,

so I wear sweats, no hoodies.

Understandable.

That's understandable,

but I know for a fact a lot

of these young men I be seeing with

this shit on ain't got no damn skin

condition,

but I understand where you're coming from.

I understand that.

I definitely get that.

I definitely understand that, but

I feel like I could do pants more

than I could do with a hoodie and

it was hot outside.

Yeah, same.

A hoodie and like... Man,

but it is what it is.

Wiley, how you doing, man?

You know, had a long...

Had a very long weekend.

Rough... Kind of rough,

but in the same breath,

it was a very good weekend, so...

um had i went down to alabama because

one of my classmates that that i was

really you know really close with really

cool with he uh passed away the day

after his birthday which in which just so

happened to be his mom's birthday oh my

god that family man yeah my word but

uh

But, yeah, went home to Alabama and,

you know,

was a representative for our class,

one of the representatives for our class.

Our class, we're small,

but we damn sure showed up for the

most part.

And also,

I got to shout out my guy for

it.

Because he is definitely the only person

that will probably be able to do this.

Because for those that know about when it

comes to the state of Alabama,

either you are an Auburn fan or an

Alabama fan,

majority of our class are Alabama fans.

And our guy,

he was a big Auburn fan.

And we wore, as you can see,

my shirt that I'm wearing tonight.

It's orange, orange and blue.

And he had us wearing them orange at

this daggone, at this daggone funeral.

A lot of us was tight.

We was tight, but we did it.

We did it for our guys.

So I said, he, I said,

our boy Mark was the only person that

would be able to do that.

Yeah, man.

But other than that, man, other than that,

The rest of the weekend,

about as smooth as it can be.

I'm here, like Will said, above ground,

so I can't complain.

I hear that.

I hear that.

How about you, Nick?

I'm good, man.

It was a pretty good weekend.

Didn't really do much.

One of my homies had a birthday lunch

or whatever, so I went to that.

And outside of that, I was chilling.

I was watching Hov all three nights on

stream, so that was fun.

Are you fully moved in?

I'm fully moved in, yeah.

That's what's up.

Good deal.

Speaking of home,

my damn barber went out there.

Speaking of barbers, listen, man.

One person that can't go out of town

is a barber.

Okay?

When your barber tell you you're going out

of town, you be like,

what do you mean you're going out of

town?

But do they tell y'all like a week

or two ahead of time or is it

like last minute?

Yeah.

I hate last minute,

but you got to tell me.

Sometimes, like, what do they, you know,

I don't get my hair cut like that.

I don't, you know, I'm like a barber.

So, do they tell you, like,

is it normally, like,

they'll tell you last minute,

or is it like, hey,

I'm not going to be here next week,

so you might want to come get your

hair cut now?

Mine is cool,

so he'll tell us in advance,

but it's still, like, it's still a shock.

He'll be like, damn,

he just went out of town.

Yeah, I can't even just, you know,

tell him I need something done,

but other than that.

J-Lens, did you go?

I was going to say mine, mine's pretty,

uh, he's pretty on it.

Like he'll because his,

his appointment only.

So he'll check his calendar and then he'll

shoot us a text or, you know, he'll,

uh, ask us like the, the week prior,

Hey, I'm headed out of town.

We need to reschedule.

Yeah.

We need to reschedule.

Yeah.

I never ran at that problem.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

But yeah, I really run into it,

but it is what it is, but, um,

I had a good weekend.

If y'all follow me, no.

I randomly had a new dog over the

weekend.

That wasn't in the cards when Raina left

Saturday.

We didn't have a discussion about a dog,

and then by Saturday evening,

we had a dog.

It's been an eventful time in the Holloway

house.

Getting my basement back together.

I'll be out of my living room or

dining room soon because I'm tired of

this.

I like my area.

I'm just in here.

Everybody's in my face all the time, but

Look at the show started, man.

We've been rambling enough for y'all.

Hit the link tree for us, man.

Sorry about that.

Hit the link tree.

Get all our socials everywhere, man.

Y'all been subscribing.

If you have, you got there.

Y'all been doing it.

Y'all been looking at the content.

We're going to keep pushing this content

out for y'all.

Subscribe everywhere for us.

I updated the link tree for other things

in there as well.

Check it out.

We appreciate y'all.

As y'all see,

We're going to start this show off talking

about the New York Liberty.

And it's probably time to talk about them,

even though they be winning games.

You know, they have good games,

but we just don't know.

And Nick put in the rundown.

It was a great question.

What is the New York Liberty identity?

Like they lost the last three games.

They lost to the Wings,

eighty eight to seventy seven.

They lost to the Lynx,

ninety to eighty five.

And then the tempo, ninety three,

ninety one.

Is that those three games right after the

commissioners come?

I think I played a couple of games

before that.

OK, but even in their wins.

Yeah.

In the wins,

we just don't know what's going on with

them.

And I know y'all be in the chat.

I've been seeing y'all on Twitter and

everything.

Tick tock talking about the Liberty.

So we got y'all today.

And Nick, since you posed the question,

man,

I'm going to hand it off to you.

What's going on with the damn New York

Liberty, man?

Chris DeMarco fucking up the vibes, man.

Right off the top.

I'm telling you.

I mean, think about it, man.

Like,

this is like the most the state of

New York has been up right now.

The Knicks just won the title.

Generation one, run.

Right.

Just won the title for the first time

in a little over half a century.

Jay-Z just sold out three nights in a

row.

New York is up right now.

Yeah.

You guys,

there's a guy called DeMarco out there

fucking up the vibes.

I'll be real.

Like, as talented as New York is,

and this is a team that,

with all the talent that we had that

we viewed as title contenders.

I mean, hell,

we saw them win a couple years ago.

And like I said,

they have the talent to do it.

But to say that this team does not

have an identity is absolutely crazy,

if you ask me.

And I know that people were very critical

of Sandy Brandello.

I didn't always agree with everything that

Sandy Brandello did.

But the one thing that I could say

is that she definitely always

put that team in position to potentially

win.

I mean, you know, you got to look,

I mean, the first year Stewie got there,

they got to the finals,

second year ended up eventually winning

the championship.

And I know that they lost in the

first round last year,

but you can point to a few reasons

why, honestly.

But Nigel Laney wasn't there last year.

But then also the players didn't really

play well either.

I think John Cole,

I think I read it off before on

one of the episodes,

John Cole shot like twenty five percent in

that first round series against Phoenix.

So now you're going this new direction.

Now you got Kristen Markle.

And I don't know.

Like,

I can't remember what he said in the

in his opening present when he first got

hired.

But I remember he said something like

related to like women and playing

basketball.

And I was like, you know,

you know much about it.

That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, he did.

Yeah.

And I'm like, I was looking.

I'm like,

I don't know how I feel about that.

And I think, honestly, like, you can tell,

like, this is his first time.

I'm sorry,

Jay Liz is on a thousand right now

on the channel.

I'm not even paying attention.

I'm sorry, Nick.

I'm weak, dog.

I'm weak.

He said weak.

The PVS logo with glasses is insane.

I forgot Jay Liz is a Liberty fan.

I forgot.

I be seeing Jay Liz on Twitter, boy,

during the game.

He be live tweeting.

He be mad as fuck, boy.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

Go ahead, Nick.

I can imagine.

Where did I stop at?

Oh, yeah.

So, yeah,

you can tell this is his first time.

cultured women honestly and I just think

like when you look at this team like

the decision making is just very

questionable honestly I'll start with this

here like and I understand that you guys

are trying to

you know, find an identity,

get on the right track.

But I was watching the game against

Toronto on Sunday,

and the starting lineup consisted of Don

Quayle, Stewie,

and Hanzu in the frontcourt.

You're starting three bigs for what?

Now, look, I get it.

Stewie can space.

Don Quayle can space the floor as well.

And we've seen, you know,

both of them be able to take on

ball handling opportunities.

And then, of course,

Hanzu is a very talented center in

herself.

But nah, bro.

Like that's that's just not going to get

the job done.

And number two is what's up with Benadryl

Laney Hamilton, bro?

Like we've been staying there for a while

now.

I mean,

this was a pivotal piece of that Liberty

team.

And, yeah,

she's not the all star caliber player next

to her, like other teammates like Sabrina,

Stewie and John Quill.

But she she's a part of that core

group that you have to have.

to compete for a title.

I mean, hell,

when you look back at twenty twenty four,

she played a huge role as far as

in winning the title,

especially on the defensive end,

whether she was playing against the aces

and in that semi semifinals or even in

the finals against Minnesota.

Like Benadryl,

he played a huge role in that championship

run.

And we saw how valuable she was last

year because when they didn't have her

last year, they really struggled as well,

especially losing in that first round

against Phoenix.

So now she comes back and she's fully

healthy and

Like I said, I understand that, you know,

the team is, you know,

not hasn't hasn't really found any

consistency, hasn't really found a rhythm.

So I understand you've got to make

adjustments.

And if you want to put Benaja Laney

in the second unit, I mean,

I don't necessarily agree with it.

But if you're going to put her in

the second unit,

you still got to give her like quality

minutes.

Hey,

I had a set up on my phone.

But I saw something where it was like.

But I just had five games where she's

played less than thirteen minutes.

Like, that's just absolutely disgusting,

honestly.

Like, and like I said, I mean,

if you want to have her, yeah,

she also has that as well.

And I get it,

you know what I'm saying?

Like, I love the play of Pauline Astier.

I think that, you know, coming in,

this is her first year with New York.

I thought that she was really good.

I thought she's been really good.

And I understand that Sabrina coming back

does shake up the rotation a little bit

because you got to have her in the

starting lineup.

But,

I don't know, man.

I mean,

Benaja is just way too important because

you're like,

when it comes to playoff time,

you're going to need a Benaja lady.

You know what I'm saying?

This team is going to need Benaja lane,

especially with her production of both

ends of the floor.

So if you can't get her quality minutes

now,

how are you going to get the best

production out of her come playoff time?

So that's my biggest question,

but just overall, I mean, look,

I know that it's still early.

I know that they're only about,

I know that there's still two games above

five hundred,

but it's been a struggle for the Liberty

to really find an identity and find a

consistency.

And that's,

Honestly, sad to see,

especially with a team with this much

talent.

Absolutely.

What you got, Lil?

A lot of people will probably say I'm

going to give them bail,

but I do think one of their main

issues is to start the season.

It's just a lot of lack of consistency

with their roster and just like the

overall lineups.

Because of injury.

I mean, Phoebus has missed times.

Satu has missed significant time.

Thirteen games.

I mean, she's only played thirteen games.

Sabrina has only played twelve games so

far and they've played twenty four total

games.

So she's literally missed half of the

games.

But even with that said,

I think the Liberty are still talented

enough to win some of these games that

they've lost.

And when you take a closer look at

their inconsistencies,

the things that stick out to me are

their offense is very stagnant.

Their offense efficiency has dipped,

especially during this losing streak.

I think a big part of that is

their lack of ball movement.

They're more of a read and react team.

versus like doing set plays.

So a lot of the times we see

them take contested jumpers,

difficult shots at the end of the shot

clock,

or you see Stewie or Sabrina just going

iso.

And I think the Liberty are the best

when they are moving the ball around,

letting multiple players get a touch

before they put it up.

I think another thing is their inability

to protect the ball.

They have a turnover issue.

Through twenty three, twenty four games,

they've committed three hundred and fifty

two turnovers.

That's about fifteen per game.

And in the last five games,

New York is ranked eleventh and opponent

points off of turnovers.

Another issue is they have slow starts

like they need to start games with more

urgency.

It seems like they always have to play

from behind, which is difficult to do,

especially when your team is already

banged up.

You know what I'm saying?

Like they find themselves fifteen points

behind going into halftime and then they

have to use all their efforts to try

to come back and then they can't they

don't end up closing the games.

And I think a big thing that a

lot of people aren't talking about is

their inconsistency in terms of defensive

intensity.

In the last five games,

they ranked tenth in defensive rating.

And, you know,

I think we need to really see more

from JJ and Sabrina,

especially during this time until everyone

kind of gets fully healthy.

And I know Sabrina is coming off an

injury.

However,

she's shooting career lows from long

distance,

only shooting twenty eight percent from

deep.

She's shooting thirty eight percent from

the field,

which is her second lowest percentage in

her career.

And she's only averaging thirteen points

per game,

which is also her lowest career scoring.

And again,

I do expect those numbers to go up

as she, you know,

plays in more games and gets the feel,

you know, gets back into a rhythm.

But like these numbers just aren't going

to cut it.

Her averaging thirteen points a game is

not going to make the Liberty contenders.

And then when you look at JJ,

when you look at her numbers,

they don't look bad.

I mean,

she's averaging fifteen points and nine

boards.

But I think she can do even more

for this team.

I've always referred to her as like the

X factor because when JJ is healthy,

she to me is one of the most

important pieces for, you know,

New York to succeed.

And it's not even healthy when JJ is

engaged.

That's the thing.

When JJ is engaged,

the Liberty is very hard to defend or

just hard to guard in general because she

dominates the mismatches when guards get

switched on to her in the post.

And that's the thing.

Get your ass in the post.

Like,

stop hanging out around a three-point

line.

We know you can make the three.

We know you can stretch the floor.

But take advantage of your length in the

post.

Again, she stretches the floor,

so that's another threat that she has.

And she's the anchor.

She should be the anchor on the defensive

end, especially on the defensive glass.

And, I mean,

I agree with Nick about everything he said

about DeMarco.

You know,

I see why the timeline blames him.

I've seen him.

The rotations are very concerning.

His inability to adjust on the fly is

concerning.

I've personally seen him throw out lineups

in the second unit that had poor spacing,

lacked ball movement.

But the thing that took me really aback

was when people have the hot hand,

he will literally bench them.

And I'm like, huh?

Like, you ride the hot hand.

Like, you're not benching them.

Like,

they need to be asking to come out

if they have a hot hand, right?

And you'll bench them,

and then when they come back in,

they're not hot anymore.

So I think that's a problem as well.

And we're talking about a guy who has

never coached women before.

At the end of the day,

it is basketball,

but he's never coached women before.

And you literally go from being an NBA

assistant coach to a head coach of one

of the premier teams in the WNBA and

don't have any experience coaching women.

I mean, to me,

that was just always a head-scratching

hire.

I'm not saying that he can't improve and

do better.

I think he probably –

Could be a decent coach, but, I mean,

he's off to a rough start.

And I think that it's a lot of

things to consider when you consider a new

coach, right?

Like, yes,

they brought most of the team back and

added some pieces in terms of Satu.

But the team is still learning new schemes

with a new coach after, you know,

Sandy got fired last year.

And so when you add a new coach

with new philosophies and schemes to a

team that's already dealing with injuries,

I think it's just a recipe for disaster.

And that's what we see.

We just see very inconsistent play.

To be honest,

the best thing that's coming out of the

Liberty are Pauline Astier and Stewie's

back like Stewie's playing at a high

level.

Outside of that,

like it's not really much to talk about.

And the team, regardless of injury or not,

the team is talented enough to win a

lot of these games that they've lost.

Now, am I concerned about New York?

I'm probably not as concerned as most

people are.

We're going to segue into Phoenix soon.

Like, I have no hope for them.

But New York,

I think that they'll still make the

playoffs.

And I think that, you know,

they still have a chance to compete.

Are they contenders?

I don't know.

When Satu comes back,

do I think it'll help them on both

ends of the floor?

I think it will.

But I'm very interested to see how they

look in the second half of the season.

Absolutely.

And you were talking about, like,

even though they're three and seven,

excuse me, in their last ten games,

the teams behind them,

I just don't think they're better than

them.

Maybe Toronto, but you got Portland,

Toronto, Phoenix, Chicago, Connecticut,

and Seattle behind New York at the AFC.

Anything like a game or have a game

ahead of Washington?

Washington is ahead of them.

Oh, my gosh.

I hope they won today.

Yeah, they won today.

Yeah, Washington is twelve and ten.

They got the seventh seed as we speak.

They're actually seventy three in the last

ten games.

Yeah, they've been hooping, dog.

It's crazy.

They really got to lose a little bit

more.

Not going to hold you.

Yeah.

But I know a lot of people are

mad about saying to get fired.

And the one thing when they did fire

her,

it definitely it can't it definitely came

across.

And I think he actually said GM Cobb

or Cobb, I say his name.

basically was saying, like,

she was going to get fired the year

before.

We just ended up winning the

championships.

Right, right.

She was basically, like,

dead woman walking at that point.

You know, with,

and I always understand you need a new

voice, but when you fire a coach,

you got to get the right one.

You know what I'm saying?

To come behind that coach.

So, it's just, it's very unfortunate and,

like,

This is what we all said when he

got hired by Liberty.

Like, man, why are they doing that?

Like, why are they picking somebody?

You're bringing somebody from the NBA,

never ever coached women before.

And it's like, man,

and you see what's going on.

You got new schemes.

You got players in and out of the

lineup.

Like you say, the rotation is bad.

So it's just rough.

But I'm not as concerned as everybody

else.

I know New Yorkers,

New York Liberty fans got super concerned.

I get it.

That's y'all squad.

On the outside looking in,

I still think y'all can still move up

in the standards.

Y'all can still be a top five team.

Like Lowe said,

I don't know if y'all contending for a

championship right now,

but I don't think they're going to miss

the playoffs or anything like that.

They just got to get this shit together.

Like y'all said, they're losing games.

They still should be winning.

Even with injuries.

Yeah, with injuries.

They should still be winning games.

why would they uh jeremy said why would

they going why they going to fire sandy

if they were number one seed in

I mean, listen,

Sandy had her things about her.

I'm not going to lie.

Y'all know I was on Sandy's ass too.

However, comma, like I agree.

Like the team literally just went to,

they won a finals and then, you know,

yes, they didn't do well in the playoffs,

but they were also injured as well.

So I think it was a little bit

premature.

And I don't think like when they fired

her like that,

I just knew that they already had a

backup plan.

I don't think they had a backup plan.

Yeah, I don't think – like,

to me – because to me,

this is – I don't know.

This was not the smartest backup plan.

And, again, it's still, you know,

halfway through the season,

they still have time to change it around.

We saw the Aces last year be complete

boo-boo in the first half of the season

and go on to win the title.

You'd be a nice time boo-boo.

They was just –

horrendous bet last year so we've seen

them play terribly in the first half of

the season and then come back and win

the championship so i'm not completely

shutting the door into liberty but i mean

they have some things that they need to

figure out for sure yep absolutely um nick

you guys think that's my liberty nick

where do you think i'm actually this where

do you think they're gonna end up in

the standings when playoff time comes

around

I think they can still finish top five.

I still think it's possible.

Yes, it's a struggle now, but, you know,

it's like Lowe said, I mean,

anything can happen, honestly.

I mean, you know,

they could come back from all-star break

and then somehow find a rhythm and then

go on a nice little winning streak.

I mean,

that's really all it takes for this team

is just, you know, build some momentum,

like get one game, they get another game,

you know what I'm saying?

Like try to find a way to slowly

build that chemistry and really get the

rotations right, find that consistency.

And, like, I mean, you know, I mean,

they got the talent to do it.

I mean,

Stewie's still playing at a high level.

I know that, you know,

we have our issues with John Quell,

but we all know, like,

the type of player that she's capable of

being.

Sabrina, you know, as she continues to,

like, you know, slowly, you know,

get back into the swing of things,

you know,

we'll see her playing at her best.

So they obviously have the talent,

but I'll be real.

I mean,

even though it is looking bad for New

York,

I think they're now with the AC right

now,

but I can still see them finishing at

least top five.

How about you, Lou?

What you think?

I would say I agree with Nick.

I think I would probably say like around

five or six.

Yeah, I think so as well.

They got too much talent, too.

But I think that's fair.

fair assessment for them for sure but

honestly i mean like just real quick like

even with the struggles like when you look

at it from a town perspective like i

still see new york is better than a

lot of teams honestly absolutely atlanta i

see them better than obviously even you

could throw indiana there as well even

though i think indiana is a really good

team uh who else you want to throw

in there uh mystics yeah definitely

mystics i'm trying to think of like the

top like contenders in the w

Yeah, I could say so.

Talent-wise, yeah.

What are y'all talking about?

Just solely talent?

Yeah, solely talent.

Oh, yeah.

Golden State, Vegas, and Minnesota.

I don't know why I'm questionable about

the Minnesota thing because I ain't got a

lot of Minnesota.

I mean,

they probably do got better talent,

but Minnesota is just a well-oiled

machine.

I mean,

because they have a good coach and they

have a good system where you can,

you know,

plug a player in and they just fit

into like, you know,

it's it's also because Cheryl's a great GM

and she's a great she knows how to

scout talent for what she's done for her

team,

like based on the system that they run.

so um i don't know talent wise talent

wise the liberty should be a lot better

than they are i mean they have great

they have good role players and you know

phoebage and johannes coming off the bench

um so they'll definitely make the playoffs

i would say that if they miss the

playoffs you got a fire buddy you might

have that that's the cause of from firing

if they were

They got to make the playoffs, man.

Oh, they got to.

They will.

They will.

They definitely will make the playoffs.

It would have to be the bottom would

just have to fall out for them to

miss the playoffs.

It would just have to be really bad.

I don't see that happening whatsoever.

Does New York have the worst coach in

the top eight?

Maybe, honestly.

Shit.

How y'all feel about the coach with

Washington?

I don't like him.

Sidney, I do question him sometimes,

but I don't hate Sidney.

I don't hate Sidney,

but I do question a lot of his

decision making.

But he's got this team playing well right

now.

He does.

But yeah,

I think that New York are going to

make the playoffs regardless.

So yeah.

But that's y'all.

New York talking for y'all.

I know we've been hinting at talking about

them, but it was finally time.

So, but

To the team, no,

that wasn't who knocked them out.

Who knocked them out last year?

Was it Phoenix?

It was Phoenix.

Yeah,

so to the team that knocked them out

last year are just horrendous.

When I saw Nick making the rundown,

I said, Nick,

we got to talk about the Murph.

It is time.

This is getting to be ridiculous.

Like, I know they're older.

I know Ka is about thirty-one, thirty-two.

A.T., about thirty-four.

D.B., thirty-eight.

I know they're older.

But there's no reason to be losing.

I know it's the Aces,

but there's no reason to be losing games

by forty-some points in the other games.

They just look bad out there.

And not to mention,

that's the same Aces team.

They beat by like forty on opening night.

Exactly.

They just look so bad.

They're eight and seventeen.

They average like eighty-three points.

They give up eighty-seven points a game.

They're just mid all across the board.

And I know

Old girl, I forget her name,

went back to Russia on them.

But that's still,

you still got three good.

Yeah,

you still got three good players that

y'all can build, like, play, use.

You know what I'm saying?

They're not bad players.

Like,

you shouldn't be eight and seventeen.

Like, that is uncalled for.

Especially when you brought most of the

team back from last year and y'all made

the finals.

Unacceptable.

Unacceptable.

Hey, I ain't gonna lie.

Asia might have fucked up that franchise

after game three.

Niggas ain't been the same since, dog.

But they haven't been the same.

Sent the whole family home and ruined the

franchise.

Like, it's just bad.

And then there'll be some games you see,

like, man, AT's really good.

You see games where...

Because when I was questioning Kauffman,

I see other people, too,

was questioning Kyle on the timeline.

And when she has some good games as

of late, but it's just not enough.

Like, the defense is bad.

The offense is...

Not good.

Like Lowe kept saying, they missed Satu.

Been saying it from game one.

You have.

Even when they blew out the Aces in

that first game, you've been saying it.

They missed Satu.

They just gave up on her.

That was a walking in the gym,

eight points a game.

Basically.

A player that you got to focus on,

you just can't be like, oh, no.

It is, Satu.

Even how you feel about her nickname,

how you feel about her being consistent,

you still got to pay attention to her.

And she still would have helped them.

She did a lot for them last year.

And honestly,

they was kind of hooping against the Aces

in the finals, and then she got hurt,

and it went downhill from there.

Like, they really couldn't do anything.

But I just don't know what they're going

to do.

I think I'm going to ask y'all this,

though.

Y'all think they need to blow it up?

Yes.

Okay.

Try to trade people at the deadline.

Yes.

Do you fire?

I don't think I'm going to make the

playoffs.

No way.

You fire Nate.

Do you fire Nate and you call up

Christy?

Because somebody's going to take her.

You got to fire Nate.

You got to go.

You got to fire him.

You do.

What do you think, Lowe?

I mean, I don't want to sound pessimistic,

but this season is a wash.

Like they're cooked, stick a fork in them.

They're done.

Like they are, they're cooked, bro.

Like, I mean,

I'd honestly think about tanking or

because they should be,

they won't be a top four pick because

they got to the finals last year.

And you know,

it's a combination of your last two

seasons.

So they could still get, you know,

a top five pick in a very good

draft.

So I would think about tanking or I

would either look to move Kyle or AT

for picks or

or for young talent to kind of rebuild?

Because, I mean,

what is the future of this team?

Dewana Bonner is about to be forty.

A.T.

is towards the end of her career.

I'm sure Kyle is going to go back

east as soon as Philly gets a team

and probably retire there.

So like what exactly is the direction of

the team?

I'm blowing it up and I'm starting over

like I'm blowing it up.

I'm on the phone right now and trying

to see who's going to take A.T.

I'm on the phone right now and seeing

who's going to take Kyle.

And A.T.

really needs to look in the mirror.

I'm not going to lie to you.

Like, granted,

her team isn't playing well, but baby,

you're not playing that great either.

You know what I'm saying?

And it's always like, don't get me wrong.

A.T.

has played at an MVP caliber for multiple

years in a row.

I'm never going to question her basketball

abilities.

But my issue is, as a leader,

your body language looks awful.

Your body language looks awful out there.

Like, I get losing sucks.

But, baby, you making bonehead plays, too.

Shoot, in the game yesterday,

her forcing the ball to Sammy Wickham,

and they couldn't even get off a shot

to try to tie the game.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, body language is terrible.

And then when people are holding her

accountable –

That body language is terrible.

It's even worse.

So it all starts with the head of

the snake.

But like I said, you know,

I know some people are probably going to

be like, you know, low.

They were twenty seven and seventeen last

year and made the finals like and

essentially bought everybody back except

Satu.

So why would you want to blow up

the team?

But I mean, like you said, Jay,

people don't understand Satu's effect and

impact on his team.

And I think the front office truly

underestimated how valuable she was to

this team.

She's a player that was giving you sixteen

and six last year.

But most importantly,

she provided another offensive threat in

regards to someone that can go create for

themselves and go get a bucket.

Letting her walk in free agency without

replacing her offensive output just

doesn't logically make sense to me.

And now you only have one player on

your roster with Kalia Copper that can go

out in the bucket.

And the worst part about that is we

know Ka is not always consistent.

So your one player that can go get

you a bucket is also inconsistent.

And then you have Kai and A.T.

who can get into the paint.

But when they pass it out for,

you know,

their teammates to shoot the ball,

they don't really have anyone on the

perimeter that's knocking down shots

consistently.

Now, I do think, you know,

Sammy Whitcomb coming back from injury,

that'll help them a lot.

It'll help them score more from long

distance.

But, I mean,

they just don't have the personnel.

The young lady that was a rookie,

she went back overseas.

West Belt is hurt.

So it's just like, to me,

they just don't have the personnel.

And also their defense.

Their defense has been terrible.

They came into this season expecting to

hang their hat on the defensive end,

like their whole identity and all that

Nate was talking about is they're going to

be a good defensive team.

And they've struggled rotating on

shooters.

They struggle containing dribble

penetration.

And they struggle to finish defensive

possessions with the rebounds,

giving the opponents, you know,

second chance points.

And I agree.

I think Nate is on the high seat.

Got to be.

He's not great at in-game adjustments.

There have been opponents where they've

extended runs before he would even call a

timeout or change coverages or alter the

lineups.

The rotations kind of are wonky sometimes.

Sometimes he doesn't have enough shooting

in there.

Sometimes he doesn't have the defense that

he needs in there.

But to be honest,

most of the blame is on the players

and the front office because sometimes

I don't understand how you let someone

like Satu walk and you don't replace that.

This roster is not a winning roster.

Like, A.T.

is a good player,

but she's the player that sets the table.

She's not going to be out there scoring

a lot of points.

She's the player that gets everyone

involved,

tells everyone where they need to go,

and brings you that physicality that your

team needs.

So the only true scorer on this team

is Ka.

So I don't know what they expected

was going to happen.

So again,

like I do think that Nate deserves some

of the, some of the blame for sure,

but he can't make, he,

he's not the one out there missing open

shots.

He's not the one out there turning the

ball over.

He's not the one out there controlling

injuries or the players that are available

for the team.

So that's what I got on them.

No, it's tough, and it's a hard watch,

too.

And then Nate,

I don't even know what he'd be talking

about in the press conference when I'd be

looking.

I'd be like, he just lost.

The players look defeated when they're

talking like you said.

So it's just, I don't even know.

And I think A.T.

making a lot of money.

I don't even know what you can trade

for her.

Same with Kyle.

I don't even know what you can get

back.

for those players.

Jalen said draft Hannah.

They're not going to get it.

They ain't going to do that.

The highest pick they'll get is a fifth

pick.

She's not falling to five.

She ain't.

I did see somebody say,

now Satu is hurting New York not playing.

I don't think Satu is really hurting New

York not playing because they're just

losing games.

But I definitely hear what you're saying

about Satu.

I know people saying,

I saw in the chat saying Satu not

being consistent.

listen that's still something she kind of

like stretched the floor for them last

year so now everything is really boxed in

it's a real boxing so it's just it's

just tough eight and seventeen that's a

hard that's a hard road like let's see

they are twelve and at eight and seventeen

You get a tempo on fire ahead of

you in the Sparks.

I don't think they're better than none of

those teams.

You got expansion teams.

You got expansion teams.

When you went to the finals last year,

like...

I didn't even think about that when I

was reading that off.

It's crazy.

Expansion teams are ahead of them,

so it's just bad.

Like,

they're four and six in the last team.

They lost their last four games.

Wiley put it in these notes for us.

They just...

Man, they are, let's see,

they are thirteenth out of fifteen in

pace,

and they still turn the ball over fourteen

times a game.

Like,

how you moving slow when you still turn

the ball over that much?

It's just,

it's really just bad over there.

I would like, if they do fire Nate,

which I think they will,

hopefully they give Chrissy the shot.

If not, she probably goes somewhere else,

but I see somebody hire black women.

I don't know.

It is, yeah.

Yeah.

Agreed.

I mean,

Paige did call it out the other night.

Let me just say something about that real

quick.

Can y'all stop asking Paige about black

shit?

I hate that too.

We know that Paige is an ally.

We love that about Paige,

but we don't always have to ask Paige

because we know where she stands.

That's not the issue.

She is a person that will stand up

and blatantly correct and up

left black women and I love that about

it but I'm a little bit tired of

people asking her about it like we know

where she stands we know her stepmom is

black her little brothers have black like

we know where she stays and we're grateful

for it but stop asking her that shit

please it's annoying media just be asking

do some real journalism

We're sick of these.

We got to ask you anything, bro.

Like, come on, man.

What did that have to do with anything?

Like, what?

Talk about how Dallas won ten games last

year,

and they're already at sixteen wins this

year.

Right.

Let's talk about that.

Why are we asking her about that?

They're on a five-game winning streak,

and you asking about that.

didn't even hear that question i'm glad

i'm with you i'm sick of them asking

her like we already know she's an ally

we've been we've we've known that for a

while now before she even get to the

league exactly yeah she did it like five

six years ago at the espy we already

know we we know this we know so

well we also we also said it we

also said it before the season started

about about the coaches we didn't know

there weren't any black women yeah yes

yeah it's uh

It's not a good look.

It's not a good look.

Ask Kathy.

Y'all know what she said when they asked

her.

She said it's good for the sport.

Yep.

And we ain't heard shit from her since

this whole Chelsea Gray shit.

And listen, speaking of Kathy,

I'm so glad Dan Patrick just he could

have tore her ass up even more,

but

not wanting to go on her show after

you agreed on it and the PR telling

her not to go on there.

Yeah, that's terrible.

Listen,

when you a commissioner of the league,

you are pretty much the face of the

league.

Yes.

You got to answer hard questions.

You got to know how to answer hard.

Like, this is literally your job.

This is your job.

Literally,

the description of your job is to be

the face of the league and, like,

when shit gets tough.

answer the hard questions because guess

what when the WNBA is booming and doing

well who do they give credit to Kathy

so now when people have questions about

certain stuff and again it is hard

questions right because especially because

of the way the world right now it's

hard questions for sure but this is what

you signed up for this is your job

so now that you're quiet we know what

side you stand on I mean we knew

that after that one interview what channel

was it on CNN I think it was

CNN when they asked her about racism

She had the perfect alley-oop to, like,

denounce that shit, and she fucked it up,

bro.

And Dan Patrick, before we move on,

Dan Patrick was real open.

He was like,

there's been times where Adam Silver or,

I forget the commissioner's name,

from MLB and Roger Goodell,

they will say no, but they wouldn't,

he said, he okay with you saying,

you okay with saying no,

but you're not gonna say yeah,

and then all of a sudden a PR

gonna say,

it's not a good idea for you to

go on there.

Are you insane?

Right.

you could but you gotta you gotta lie

you gotta make something up you gotta you

gotta lie you can't just say it's not

good i was crying when they had her

like in the video with day of passion

they had her playing golf yes that's what

i was about to say it's bad it's

it's it's that you know it's been plenty

of times why she should have been fired

but this right here could get her up

out of there

Rob Manfred.

That's right.

That's his name.

Rob Manfred.

From your lips to God's ears, please.

Please.

Get her out of here.

But let me stop because I'm supposed to

be going to All-Star.

I'm going to All-Star weekend.

I want my credentials to be snatched like

T.I.

Snatch, New News, Chain.

Yeah, that was just a bad look, man.

You want to leave the email quick, bro.

Unfortunately, you cannot.

But yeah,

I had to bring that up because I'm

a captain.

That was just

And I'm glad somebody did it.

Like,

someone like Dan Patrick is going to get

out there and is going to really hold

a lot of weight.

And she didn't even respond to that.

Like,

they didn't even put out a statement

today.

Yeah, like,

y'all looking terrible out there.

I don't know what's going over at the

WNBA office,

but it's not – that's not a good

look whatsoever.

It's cool.

Nneka will be there within the next five

years.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

She deserves to.

She does.

Speaking of All-Star weekend,

we're going to talk about the hometown

team from –

From there, Chicago Sky,

they just can't close games, man.

Their record is seven and sixteen.

But every time, if you watch them play,

they'd be in the game late every damn

time.

Like, it's some blowouts here and there.

But they've lost four of the last five

games within single digits.

Like, they took,

even though Asia wasn't there,

they lost to the Aces in overtime twice.

Overtime,

they lost them one time in regulation.

They lost the finish where they should

have beat, the spark they could have beat,

Dallas they could have beat.

It's just – I just don't understand what's

going on.

And the same thing that happens is certain

things that goes right for them in the

first half, when that halftime comes,

it's like they just can't figure things

out.

And then with them late game situations,

they just –

They just lose the game.

I don't know what it is, Nick,

but I know you put it on the

rundown,

so I'm going to get to you first

about what you're seeing,

what you think is really going on with

them.

Outside of Rekia not being there,

we know that.

We're past that at this point,

but go ahead.

I mean,

when you look at the past couple games,

I mean, they faced the Sparks on Friday,

then they faced the Wings on Sunday.

They were in both of them games,

and at one point kind of had control.

I think the Sparks game was a little

bit of a back and forth.

But the game against Dallas,

they were in the lead, honestly,

especially in the third quarter.

I think they had a really strong start

to the third quarter to take the lead.

I think one of the biggest issues with

Chicago,

not even just in these past couple games,

but just in close games overall,

is that they just happen to take their

foot off the gas.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

They get too comfortable.

They build the momentum.

Now you got to find a way to

maintain that momentum and continue to

play at a high level on both ends.

Like when they faced the Sparks on Friday,

they got outscored twenty nine to

seventeen in the fourth quarter.

And I can't remember exactly if they were

leading heading into the fourth quarter or

not, but you know what I'm saying?

Like that was still a winnable game for

you guys.

If you guys would have been able to

keep that same energy down the stretch of

it.

But unfortunately that just hasn't

happened, honestly.

And it's almost like, I don't really know,

like what, I don't really know,

like who was the go-to player,

like to close the game, honestly.

Like, I think there's times where, like,

they try to force it on Natasha Cloud.

And I'll be honest,

Tasha be out of control way too much.

We were saying that when Rekia was there,

it was like, yo, she was just.

I'm like, who gave her this green light?

Exactly.

That was a play.

That was a play in the Dallas game.

I don't remember.

I can't remember if it was like the

third or fourth quarter.

But, like, she was on the break.

And then through this wild-ass pass to

Sydney Taylor on the left corner,

Sydney almost fucking dropped that shit

out of bounds.

She had to save that shit.

I'm like, damn, bro.

Like, you got to play more in control,

honestly.

But there's a few factors.

I mean, obviously,

Taj having the green light.

I'm not a hundred percent, like,

agreeance with that.

Um, also as well, like I do notice,

cause I'll be real.

Like, I think,

I think over the past couple of games,

Camilla started the game pretty strong,

honestly, I guess as far,

she started pretty, pretty strong.

I think in the Dallas game,

she had a double,

double a halftime or something like that,

or some,

some like maybe close to a double though.

I can't remember exactly.

but for some reason it's not the same

energy and you can, you can put some,

some of it on Camilla or you could

put some of it on,

like they're not getting her the ball

enough.

They're not getting her a lot of paint

touches that they really need to,

because when Camilla searches up,

especially like with,

with deep positioning, like she can score,

like she can score at a high level

inside, honestly.

So if you are Chicago,

you got to keep going to that because

like the thing about Rekia is that like,

you got to get her to ball to

continue to have her confidence up.

Because I feel like if you get her

to ball and you get her involved,

that's going to provide effort on the,

yeah, exactly.

I mean,

that's going to provide effort on the

defensive end as well.

So you're going to get the best out

of Camilla as long as you keep her

involved.

And I think her not being as much

involved in the second half,

I think that's what's kind of hurt him

as well.

Um,

Real quick,

I have a question about Camilla real

quick.

Do you think that,

because I've gone on record and said it

many times that I think Camilla has the

worst whistle in the entire WNBA.

Awful whistle.

Do you think that she starts off well

and then throughout the game is just so

physical and she's getting hacked that

she's just like disengaged because she's

like, fuck it, I'm getting hacked.

They're not calling it.

You know, I'm not engaged.

So maybe I'm not working hard to get

early post position or,

you know what I'm saying?

Like, do you think that's a factor?

i think that i think that's a huge

factor honestly because camilla is one of

those places where it's like when things

are not going well she's not going to

give the best effort honestly i mean i

think it's really a mental thing for her

so yeah that's one thing that's one thing

that she's gonna have to uh to really

learn is you know she gotta find a

way to play through it i mean we

all know that the officiating and the w

has been terrible this season i mean a

lot of people have bad wishes camilla is

one of them you can say asia is

another one of them like

You know,

there's a lot of players that got a

lot of bad whistles.

But if you're a player like Camila

Cardoso, especially one,

a player of her talent that could be

the focal point offensively,

like you got to find a way to

keep yourself engaged and find a way to

play through through the through through

the poor officiating.

So, I mean,

that's one of the biggest things,

honestly, man.

And I mean, as we all know,

I mean,

this season is pretty much a watch for

Chicago.

I mean, you know, we started off strong.

And obviously since the rookie injury,

everything has went bad.

And then, you know,

we don't know what scholar's future is

looking like, but with the sky,

I think she's missing another game.

Um,

so they said no timetable for her return.

Right.

But the thing about it is that like,

the one thing that I love is that

they still find ways to compete.

And I think, you know,

when they do show that togetherness,

they can play at the best.

I mean,

they still got a lot of high level

players like, um, Natasha Klaus,

Sydney Taylor, as a Ray Stevens, Camilla.

Even Courtney Vanderson coming back has

been really big for them, honestly.

So they have a lot of high caliber

players.

And when they do have that togetherness,

they can play effectively.

But it's just all about finding ways to

maintain that.

So I'm going to put it a combination

on them and Tyler as well.

I'm not going to tell off the hook

because I do feel like he has as

far as, you know,

really as far as really setting a game

plan for like down the stretch to be

able to allow them to win those games.

But.

I mean, at this point, it's like,

I mean, it's just a wrap for Chicago,

man.

And it sucks, honestly,

because this is a team that has some

pretty good expectations heading into the

season.

And then we're just seeing everything fall

apart.

But it's nothing new for Chicago at the

same time as well.

Yeah,

I was going to bring up as a

right.

Some guys should be kind of stinky,

but I think she's coming together.

I know she missed,

but it's it's just a bad comment.

I feel like.

Do you think.

They haven't recovered.

They do play hard, but losing over kids,

they still just have not found a pivot

from that, it seems like.

It just...

Honestly, I mean, not to cut you off,

though,

like that could have been your player to

go to down the stretch.

Absolutely.

That had to be the plan.

That had to be the plan.

Especially with how talented of a scorer

that she is, honestly.

I mean,

that could have been a player that you

could go to down the stretch to make

buckets.

And I feel like they're still trying to

find that, like,

one moment it could be Sydney Taylor,

another moment you put the ball in Natasha

Cloud's hands.

So it's really not a consistency as far

as, like, who is the leader, like,

down the stretch of this game or games.

Mm-hmm.

I mean,

it's kind of similar to Phoenix in regards

to like Phoenix only has Ka that can

go out and get a bucket.

And like, to be honest,

Chicago only has Sydney Taylor that can go

out and get a bucket.

Like, yes, you can go.

Yes,

you can pound the ball in a paint

to Camilla.

But it's very inconsistent, unfortunately.

And I think, you know,

Chicago just has struggled to replace

Rekia.

Her shot creation,

her athleticism on the wing.

her ability to score when the offensive

breaks down.

And I think that's the main thing.

When the offense breaks down and you just

have to make something out of nothing,

they don't have a player that can really

do that.

And when you think about it,

like Sloot has never been asked to be

a closer.

Natasha Cloud has never been positioned to

be a closer.

Azare, Camilla, Skyler,

none of these players that we're naming

all good veterans, you know,

aside from Camilla,

she's not a veteran yet.

But all good veterans that, you know,

add something to the team,

but they've never been in a position where

they're the best player on their team.

They've never been in a position where

they have to be the closer.

So this is new territory for all of

them.

And I think that I do appreciate this

guy in terms of still competing.

They're not just hanging their heads and

giving up.

Absolutely.

They kind of remind me of like the

Mystics a year or two ago where like

the Mystics weren't a good team,

but they could surprise you and beat some

teams because they were competitive for

the full forty minutes.

The issue is the sky just simply cannot

close out games and understand why they

don't have a closer.

I mean,

they're three and eight in clutch games

and clutch games are defined in, you know,

under five minutes in the final five

minutes being a five point game.

or within five points um but you know

they're at they're one of the worst in

the league at clutch game performances and

i think it's because of course their late

game offensive execution it's very

predictable you know when they're slowing

the ball down they're trying to get it

to camilla um and then if they don't

do that it's often a lot of iso

you have pull-ups from natasha cloud which

i don't think was ever her specialty i'm

not really sure like she's i'm gonna just

leave it at that

Um, but without, you know,

without her kids ability to create her

own, you know, offensively,

like they can load up on the ball

handlers because they know, Hey,

this team does not have a closer and

it puts more pressure on a rookie who

was in a very tough position because the

franchise is trash.

She's the only one that can go out

and get a bucket.

And at the end of the day,

she's still a rookie and she's starting,

you know what I'm saying?

Um,

And I think another thing is just overall

closing possessions.

Like,

several of their losses have come from

literally costly turnovers,

missed defensive rebounds,

or empty possession in the final minute.

So they'll play good for, like,

thirty-six minutes,

and then in the last four minutes just

completely act like they never played

basketball before.

The execution is just terrible.

And so...

Yes, Tyler deserves some of the blame.

But in late game execution,

I feel like that's more of a player

thing.

Like, you have to have that chemistry.

You have to be all on one accord.

Of course,

he has to be calling the right calls

and stuff like that.

But, like, them turning the ball over,

that's not a Tyler problem.

Them missing rebounds and giving the other

team another possession,

that's not a Tyler problem.

That's an effort problem.

That's an execution problem.

And that's just not being focused when you

need to be focused at the most important

part of the game.

So, I mean, I think Chicago's screwed.

I don't know where they go from here.

I'm not sure what they're going to do

with the Skyler situation.

But I do want to say this about

Skyler real quick.

Y'all don't know these women.

Y'all don't.

Y'all don't know them at all.

Y'all don't.

So I've been seeing a lot of people

saying Skylar quit on her team.

And granted,

do I know if she quit on her

team?

I don't know because I don't know her.

But I do know that before this stint,

she also missed game because of that same

knee.

She's been having this knee issue for a

while.

Now,

a lot of people are saying that she

is not deciding to play because they put

her on the bench.

That could be true.

I don't know.

But what I am going to say is

that...

With Skylar,

who is one of the most competitive people

that we've probably seen in the WNBA,

right?

If my knee isn't a hundred percent and

I know we are losing and I know

this is towards the end of my career,

I'm not playing either.

fuck I'm playing for for y'all to keep

losing?

The check is clear.

Why am I going to risk my health?

Why am I going to risk my health

when we're losing?

I'm just not.

We don't have the proper facilities for me

to get the proper treatment.

I'm literally at the end of my career.

I'm at the end of my career.

I'm not risking it to go out there

and lose.

I'm just not.

And maybe because I'm a sore loser,

that's why I think that way.

But I'm happy.

I'm a self-proclaimed sore loser.

I hate to lose.

I absolutely hate to lose at anything I

do.

So that's how I would be looking at

it.

Like,

because people are literally saying she's

not injured.

How the fuck do y'all know?

Yeah, I don't know.

How y'all gonna say she's not injured?

Like,

they're literally on the timeline saying,

like, oh, she just salted.

She went to the bench.

She's not injured.

Bro,

how do y'all know that lady not injured?

Y'all don't know.

And so I'm not going to be on

the timeline spewing.

Now, is she exaggerating it?

Maybe,

but that's not for me to call because

that's not my body.

Yeah, is she salty about being benched?

Probably, but she also is injured,

like you said.

Because Skylar's so competitive,

she's not going to be someone that's just

like, I'm not playing.

To me,

at least that's what I think about her.

Again, I don't know her, right?

And we're not talking indefinite.

Like,

people on the timeline talking like they

had a phone conversation.

Right.

Like, girl, y'all don't know that lady.

Like, I've seen so many tweets today.

And I literally was about to tweet, like,

y'all do realize that y'all only get a

part of the information and y'all don't

know these people?

Now, granted,

some people think that they're trying to

trade her.

I don't know about that.

I mean,

because the whole point of her coming to

Chicago was for her to get,

be closer to her family.

So I don't really know about that.

And I don't know where exactly she would

go.

I don't know if she want to uproot

her kids again.

Like I just don't know so many

uncertainties,

but I would also not be shocked if

they traded her.

If she's that unhappy and they're forcing

her to trade, you know what I'm saying?

So exactly.

Jalen says,

Scott should be hurting sometimes, man.

Listen, you wake up, your back hurt,

your neck hurt, your knee hurt.

I'm like, what the hell?

So, it's just a mess over in Chicago.

I get why the fans are mad that

she's not playing.

But, again, y'all don't know her.

It's not your body.

It's not your body, man.

It really isn't.

Jeremy,

do you guys think Dejanay will be traded

this season?

Oh.

Who wants her?

She didn't even play yet.

Yeah, she had today.

Was it today or yesterday?

She's saying she's getting closer.

Like, she's doing activities.

She's actually participating in practice.

I wouldn't call her right.

Honestly,

I wouldn't call this guy about her at

all because she ain't get on the court.

What you going to get for her?

You know what I'm saying?

You talking about Skyler?

No.

I don't know what you're going to get

for her.

She ain't been on the court at all.

i mean you would have to base it

off of like her production last year yes

but we've seen that you know she has

the injury that because when did she get

did she get injured like toward the end

of last year right before the playoff or

i think so yeah right like right before

the playoff started yeah so yeah so she's

going on like almost a year rehabbing his

injury or dealing with his injury yeah

Yeah, so, I don't know.

It's going to take time for her to

come back, too.

Yeah, it's tough.

Like,

just to get into the rhythm of things

once she's actually cleared to even start

playing.

It's tough going on right there.

Before we, like, you know,

close it out with the Sky,

we know how we take off with Tyler,

but y'all think he going to be back

next season?

I think it's about done.

I ain't going to lie to you.

I hate to see a black man lose

a job, but, yo, like,

It might be time to go in another

direction, honestly.

It's a tough shake.

Right.

And also, to these people,

because I see a lot of y'all talking

about something,

they should have never fired Teaspoon.

I told y'all they should have never fired

Teaspoon.

We told y'all that from the jump, yes.

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

They was all in my comments talking about,

oh, well, she wasn't good.

Oh, her adjustments, her rotation, this,

that, this, and that.

Like, okay, cool.

Teaspoon wasn't the perfect coach,

and I'll admit that.

But she still had them.

nearly making the playoffs like they were

about like a couple games from making the

playoffs actually and angel had a solid

rookie season uh kennedy you know saying

that was her first time back you know

after after missing a year in the league

she actually had a really strong season

camilla has strong moments like you know

like i said teaspoon obviously wasn't

perfect you gotta you know take this into

consideration it was her first year you

know coaching there

But I think she still did a pretty

decent job, honestly.

And now you go to Tyler.

And look, I mean,

I think Tyler's a great mind for

basketball.

I mean, we saw, you know,

what he was able to do in Vegas.

You know, they especially helped, like,

the development of Jackie Young and other

players.

But let's just be honest,

the franchise has gone downhill.

since he got there, honestly,

with all due respect.

And look, I mean,

a lot of it is out of his

control, honestly.

I mean, obviously the Rakia injury,

you can't control that.

You know, Angel being unhappy and,

you know, heading out.

I don't know if y'all want to put

that on him or not put that on

him.

But, I mean, just being honest, I mean,

since he got there, I mean,

the franchise hasn't moved in the best

direction.

Yes.

The one reason I can see him coming

back is because, like, Rakia and her,

the different injuries.

But to be honest, man,

Nothing's really going to change with this

guy, no matter what coach he gets.

It don't matter.

You can bring Sean Reed in there.

You can bring Sean Reed.

They're still not going to be great until

that front office changes.

Like, it just is what it is.

So, yes, even if Tyler gets fired,

guess what?

The next coach that comes in there,

Chicago's still going to be ass.

It doesn't matter.

They're going to have to get – and

if they do fire Tyler,

what they're going to do –

is what veteran coach is gonna come in

there it's gonna be another rookie coach

that's what i'm saying there's not many

like there's not many veteran coaches out

there yeah who gonna want to take that

job and that's that was that was the

one thing i didn't like about him even

taking the job i was like no matter

what happens he's gonna be the blame

period yep he always like even like being

being out being in the building last year

he just always looks sad

He just looked so sad,

and his press was like,

it would be like,

I don't even know what to ask him

no more, because they just... He said,

I don't even know what to ask him.

Right, because, like, last year,

they lost, like, what, ten,

eleven straight games?

Like,

what do you ask somebody the same shit

every time?

Right.

I don't even know what to ask this

man.

So it's just like, and then this year,

I know he probably felt like, man,

we got Rakia, we got Newtink, Azarese,

Skylar.

We looking good the first five games.

And then Rakia blows out her knee.

And then it's just down here from there

because we still have people hurt.

So I just, I feel for Tyler.

He always looks.

I feel for him, too.

I feel so – because he's a good

basketball mind.

It's just – He's great, man.

I don't know why he took this –

I mean, like,

I get that you wanted to take a

step and be a head coach.

Yeah.

But I just really don't understand why the

hell he would take this job.

Like, I get it.

Because of the angel.

Especially when you know how that front

office operates.

This ain't nothing new.

Yeah, it ain't nothing new.

They've been doing this for the last

decade, if not longer.

And listen,

after you fire a rookie coach like

Teaspoon, like we said,

she wasn't perfect because she was a

rookie coach.

But once you fire somebody out for that,

and people are going to have their,

you know,

think pieces of why they think Teaspoon

got fired.

If you wasn't there,

you don't know a hundred percent why she

got fired.

It's just, if you don't have intel,

which a lot of y'all don't have intel,

you can't say why not she got fired.

I mean, because what we know,

I think that, I mean,

you got to let her go.

yes but what stuff we know yes and

the stuff y'all be saying is not what

we it's not not even close yeah right

not even close to what it is but

it's like like i'll say when you see

tea spoon fire and of course the main

goal is the coach a lot of times

to be a head coach it's like do

i pass like do i work or chicago

you know what i'm saying so

I feel for the next coach because if

it ain't this season and they have another

bad season, Tyler's out of there.

He can't hang on.

Three bad seasons, you got to go.

He just needs to step down.

You know what I'm saying?

I really can't see them.

You know what?

I'll wait to somebody because I think it's

going to be a stain on his career.

That's the thing.

Another head coaching opportunity.

It is.

That's the thing.

I can't see them getting any better.

Be honest.

Maybe, you know,

with Rekia coming back next year,

they may show some improvements,

but I don't really see much of Chicago.

What is her contract?

I know she got traded, but is she...

I know she's still on her rookie deal.

I don't know how... Yeah,

so she should be up for an extension.

Possibly, yeah.

That's a bad... At this point,

if you're Chicago, you give it to her.

I mean,

but does she want it from now?

Yeah.

She gonna have to...

Tyler Gomez-Roddick will be an assistant

again, prove himself,

and then it just sucks.

I mean,

because there's nothing about Chicago that

would make me want to go play there.

If I'm one of the top, you know,

it's literally nothing there that would

make me want to go play there.

Like,

I really thought that with this roster...

that I didn't think that they would be

contenders,

but I thought that they would at least

compete and people want to actually like

see that, Hey, you know, they're trying,

it's turning around.

We got this facility that they're still

building it.

That's another story.

But yeah, like I thought, you know,

but boy, did I think wrong?

Yeah, we all did.

We all did, but...

You think Camila will ask for a trade

to be traded?

I don't think so.

Man, let me tell y'all something.

Camila's having fun in Chicago.

Let me tell you,

I was about to say...

She don't look like having fun on the

court, but I can tell you this.

She's having fun off the court.

I can tell you this.

Hey,

she ain't going to let a loss affect

her, baby.

She outside, man.

Matter of fact.

Hey, we outside win or lose, baby.

Yes.

Matter of fact,

that whole roster be out kicking.

They always on a boat somewhere.

They always outside, all of them.

We're at the bar.

Oh, yeah.

All right, man.

Hey, if you know, you know.

If you know, you know.

I know that ain't who I think it

is.

Wild.

Wild.

I know.

I know we're getting to everyone's

favorite segment.

I wanted to address two things before we

get to said segment.

Here come Big Brother Wiley.

Big Brother Wiley.

I'm crying.

I'm crying.

oh man that's a good that was good

that was good um let's start with asia

wilson um can y'all stop

Can y'all stop?

Y'all do this shit time and time again.

Y'all did the shit last year.

Y'all did the shit the year before.

Y'all probably did the shit the year

before that.

Yeah.

Can y'all stop trying to discredit Asia

with this MVP conversation?

Ain't nobody playing better than her right

now.

Like, what are we doing?

Yes, Olivia Miles is balling.

Yes.

She not Asian.

We love Olivia Miles.

Y'all, we done seen fucking Marina Mabry.

I was about to say that.

That person said it to me.

I was hot.

I was like, what?

She's had some moments.

Don't get me wrong.

They saw Marina put a fifty-something and

said, MVP.

Right.

Every time somebody has a great game,

y'all quick to throw them in the MVP

conversation and be like, yo,

I just watch Asia miss, what, two,

three games,

and come back and drop thirty off the

rip.

Thirty point, thirty, yeah,

thirty point double-double.

And then twenty-one and fifteen and

twenty-five minutes the next game.

Right, like, what the hell are we doing?

That's the thing, I mean,

even in that Indiana game,

people said she had a bag and she

still had twenty and twelve.

That's a pretty good game.

Like, literally,

that's some people's career highs.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

Like,

But it's, and even with that Indiana game,

like they were just getting their ass bust

on defense.

It happens.

That happens.

That's basketball.

It is what it is.

But overall,

because I had to address somebody on

Twitter.

I had to address somebody on Twitter this

morning.

I was like, mind you,

y'all do this shit every time.

They do every year.

It's always a new player every week.

Every week is a new player.

Look,

had to put my girl up there with

the stiff one.

Now, mind you,

y'all do this shit every time.

So I just want to say,

can we please stop and let the rest

of the season.

We almost at the all-star break.

Let's just take this on into the all-star

break.

regroup and finish the rest of the season.

How about that?

If we're keeping it a buck,

I think Paige has kind of played herself

into the second place in terms of MVP

voting if we're keeping it a buck.

I got Asia, I got Paige,

and then I got Olivia Miles.

I'm not mad at it.

I like it.

I like it.

I just don't want...

People, in all sports, people do this,

man.

How y'all be tired of greatness?

I don't get it either.

I really don't get it either.

Y'all just sit back and be like, man,

that person.

And you appreciate it ten,

fifteen years later.

Right.

What?

I just posted a video on TikTok,

I think two days ago.

But I be hyped because I'm like,

I'm so grateful that I'm alive during this

time.

Like,

we're literally watching the best WNBA

player of all time, essentially.

In her prime, bro.

Like,

we're literally in a position that we can

watch it live where we don't have to

go back fifteen years from now and be

like, damn, I ain't get to see it.

Like,

we're literally watching this live and

y'all still ungrateful.

Like, people are just ungrateful as hell.

Like, how do you hate greatness?

Like, I just don't get it.

Like, this is someone whose mom...

Hold on, wait real quick.

This is someone whose mom literally said

she sucked.

She was not good.

You know what I'm saying?

Her dad went on record and said the

same thing.

Like,

I had to have a conversation with Asia.

Like, you got to decide.

Are you going to keep handing out water

bottles to your teammates?

Because if so,

we're not paying for you to play

basketball.

You got to be serious about it, right?

This is someone who wasn't good when she

initially started playing,

and now we're having her in conversations

as the greatest ever.

Like, how are y'all sick of that?

Like, how?

People don't like to watch people be great

whatsoever, man.

It's weird.

People are being so quick to hate on

somebody great no matter what sport it is.

Right, yeah.

I think the reason is a lot of

these fans are younger than us.

to exclude our guy Nick.

A lot of these fans are younger than

us and they've lived this participation

trophy life.

That's true.

That is very true.

We can't keep giving it to the person

who's actually the best player

that's out here,

we got to let somebody else win.

Well, no, fuck that.

You got to go be better.

Go be better.

But it's just dumb as hell because now

you're like, oh, well,

this person should get a turn.

Fuck no.

Sorry you were born at the same time

as Asia.

Right.

I hate that.

And I hate that.

And that's the thing,

before we get off to that,

I know you got another thing you want

to bring up, Wiley.

That's the thing with media,

and I say media because, I mean,

we're essentially the enemy,

but people have a vote.

They vote with their feelings.

They vote for their feelings,

and they be like,

I'm tired of seeing this person.

Like, these are human people.

Humans.

Humans.

Human nature to come in and say,

you know what?

I'm tired of this person winning.

I'm just going to go ahead and vote

for this person.

Like, what?

Well,

this person didn't answer my question,

so I'm going to not vote for this.

Or this person didn't do this.

Like, come on, man.

Like, that's not good.

Shit, I remember last year,

Kendra Andrews had, like,

wrote a post about the MVP,

and she was like, well,

Asia's not averaging the same amount as

she did last year.

I'm like, who cares?

She's still the best player, like,

regardless.

Right, BB.

That's really what he went through.

He literally is...

Someone said,

is AB the only post player that defends

Asia the best?

I think Angel actually does a decent job.

I think Dominique Malanga is starting to

give her trouble as well.

I think Stewie does decent as well.

So yeah, I think it's a few people,

but Asia struggles a little bit against AB

for sure.

Oh, absolutely.

It's really the physicality.

Right.

And I say struggle,

and she'd still be having twenty and ten.

Yeah.

That's how great she is, man.

She's not

She's not even thirty yet.

No.

Come on, man.

Quit it.

Quit it.

This is not to say it's a lot

of great players in the league,

but sometimes in sports that number one be

this far ahead of everybody.

That's just how it be sometimes in certain

eras.

And it's okay.

Life ain't fair.

Sorry.

As my pastor says, favor ain't fair.

And it's a lot of favor on Asia's

life.

It is.

And then, of course,

I wanted to address the elephant in the

room as far as what happened.

I think it was... No,

I think this was Sunday.

Mm-hmm.

Man, get your punk ass up.

It ain't even wet over here.

Yo,

there's been so many videos about this on

TikTok and Twitter and all that.

Play that shit again.

Play that shit one more time, brother.

One more damn time.

Just a normal basketball play.

Man, get your punk ass up.

It ain't even wet over here.

Come on, dog.

Now, listen,

Shane's the only person that's flopping in

the league, but that's... What is that?

The fact that that shit got reviewed,

that's the part that pissed me off.

Like, why the fuck we reviewing that?

That's a normal basketball play.

What the fuck are we doing?

Oh, my God.

Like,

that play happens every time down the

court.

That happens damn near every time down the

court in the post.

So, like, what?

Nigga's mad because they can't defend.

Like, I don't get it.

And I would love to give, like,

my honest thoughts.

If I gave my honest thoughts, y'all, boy.

Y'all, people would hate me.

Who's going to stop us?

Exactly, Stephon.

Hold on.

When people be in my comments or I

see people on Twitter talking about she

had to go overseas...

Have y'all watched overseas basketball?

I'm going to say, yeah.

Have you watched the Olympics?

Right.

What is y'all talking about?

Right.

She'll really get beat up.

Respect.

I was going to say, yeah,

that was the thing.

We're going to see it in twenty twenty

eight because they're going to she's going

to be on the Olympic team.

She's going to be getting cooked like

she's going to be getting cooked out

there.

I'm not saying that she's not going to

be scoring on the offensive end,

but defensively,

she's going to be getting cooked.

Yes.

Because that's the thing.

Overseas is more advanced, too.

They don't put no wusses over there.

At all.

They don't put no wusses over there

overseas.

So she can pout up and down the

court all she wants.

Shawree's pulling that ass right off.

Right.

But I had to address that because,

like I said,

I was more so pissed off that it

got...

Jeremy trying to get you in trouble,

Wiley.

Jeremy trying to get you in trouble.

He talking about who cares about the

Clarkies.

Talk your ish, producer Wiley.

Clarkies is so funny.

Yo, that shit make me giggle.

Clarkies.

it's just like i said it's just more

so like y'all to review that and that's

a normal basketball play that shit happens

all the time like what are we what

are we doing man so it was the

rollover for me like once you fell like

i'm like all right bro it was just

way too much like come on and for

you to watch for you to watch the

ball go in because if it hurt if

it hurt like that like you rolled over

you would have did that immediately when

it happened.

Not wait for the ball to go in

to see what the call was.

And then you get up and you say,

that was a foul.

Yeah, motherfucker, that's a foul on you.

Yes.

So you're right.

It was a foul on you.

Yeah.

She did a whole downward dog.

She did.

She did.

You're right, Jeremy.

A whole downward dog is crazy.

She did.

She definitely did.

She did way too much, bro.

Like,

If you frustrated, cool, but like,

come on, man.

Yeah.

Well, like I said, I just wanted to,

those are the two things I wanted to

address.

I appreciate y'all letting me have my

time.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

You know what time it is now.

Yep.

Dalmatians.

Y'all might not even know who I'm talking

about when I'm saying that nanny and

friend.

They have no idea who I'm talking about.

I do because we watch that shit

religiously over here.

It's still a funny ass show.

I mean, it's not something I would wear,

but it doesn't look bad on her.

So I'll give her a seven.

I'll give her a solid six.

I be seeing why Natasha Cloud be crashing

I'm older than all of y'all on the

panel.

How old are you?

Yeah, how old are you?

I mean,

I like this outfit a lot.

Hey, Maddie can dress.

She can.

but I couldn't find the whole fit.

I was searching up and down for that

one.

That shit was fire.

She can dress.

She can definitely dress.

She ain't playing no games,

so she might as well get them fits

off.

Get them fits off.

The streets are saying that, you know,

I give her a solid eight.

Yeah, I'm going about an eight, nine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Can't go wrong.

And her hair always be nice too.

Yeah.

So I rock with this.

That's the last one.

What else you got for us?

No, no, no, no.

Okay, I feel a real biker's girl.

Right.

Is that plaid?

I'm thinking,

I thought the plaid was like a shirt

wrapped around.

I mean, it do look like that though.

That's a dress though.

I'm not mad at it.

It's a dress?

Give me a nine.

Yeah, it's like a skirt.

Yeah, it's like a skirt.

Okay, I see what you're saying.

Yeah.

She fine, but can't dress.

I'll give it a six.

Y'all funny as hell.

Felicia Lowe, you took.

Yes, I did.

And did.

She be trying to hide him on the

low.

She be trying to put me in.

I don't be trying to hide.

Everybody knows now.

You can see I was fucking chewing the

shit.

When I chew,

I at least try to move away from

the mic.

That's where I give you that.

It's not bad.

It's not bad.

Nah.

It's not.

Now he's talking about she can't dress.

I gotta look at her other fits.

Look at Dana without being in a schoolgirl

outfit.

Facts.

Is she showing a little shoulder?

Or a little shoulder?

I give her a seven and a half.

This is very tame for Dana.

It is.

But also, Dana is like that.

She's definitely a tomboy,

so she'll throw on some sneakers in a

heartbeat.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

I'm going to give it an eight.

Nine and a half, seven, six.

This is not Dana in pants, right?

You rarely see her in some pants.

Right.

She normally showing them legs.

Y'all doing, y'all not bad.

Some nights, y'all, some weeks,

y'all be like, man, that shit is trash.

But y'all, we kind of,

we see a lot of stuff.

It be some files.

Wally must have, look,

he must have did a lot of work

to find it.

Wally did his homework this week.

He did.

He definitely did his homework.

That's it.

A little bad.

I'm fine.

Come on, Felicia.

Felicia, man, don't be hating, man.

Felicia said hell.

Look, I know what Felicia want.

You ain't getting that tonight, Felicia.

I know exactly what you want, Felicia.

I saw Felicia sending him stuff on the

timeline.

That's funny.

Today was my first day I saw it.

I was cracking up.

They all nice this week.

Okay.

Okay, Asia.

And shout out to Asia because this fit

also went...

This fit also went with the shoes she

wore, the Girl Scout shoes.

Yeah, for sure.

You know,

another thing I want to shout out for

Asia is that one thing I know is

a lot of the women in W,

when they wear open-toed shoes,

their feet be bogus, boy.

Like, they be missing nail polish.

Like, Asia ain't going.

She's not going to get caught slipping.

So shout out to her.

I mean, in all fairness,

I feel like when you have your toes

out, they should be done in all fairness.

But Asia money a little different than

everybody else.

Asia got the bread to make sure.

Her man rich and she rich.

No, listen.

Listen.

Listen.

Listen.

You can't be out here.

Don't wear no overtoe shoes that day.

I agree.

I agree.

I got my pedicure scheduled for next week.

I agree.

There you go.

Y'all ain't finna fuck me over.

Absolutely not.

Look,

y'all can say a lot of things about

me, but nobody gonna be like, bro,

look at her toes.

No.

No, but y'all like this outfit.

Nine, nine, nine, ten, nine and a half.

Treat me like Marcus.

I'll give it an eight.

You finna turn into Marcus on low.

You said what?

He ain't finna turn in the markets off

of a boomerang.

A man slid up that bed, boy.

Crunched up all of them.

Man.

Y'all are crazy.

Oh my God.

This was a good week.

What?

Y'all getting me out of here before eleven

thirty?

This was a good week for the outfits.

Last week was going to be tough.

Nah, last week was cool.

We needed that, so it was cool.

We definitely needed that.

Nobody from the Mystics best dressed team

in the W. That's an interesting take.

I don't agree, but that's interesting.

I'm going to say they are not.

Who dressed over there though?

Who be standing out like that?

CC won MVP of FIBA.

By the way, Cheryl's not the coach.

Who's the coach again now?

Oh, my God.

First of all,

she probably shouldn't even have won the

MVP of FIBA.

Is it Kara?

Oh, yeah, Kara.

You're right.

We're going to see in the Olympics.

We'll see in the Olympics.

Be back, Christopher Smith.

I would say, yeah,

Kiki's probably the standout when it comes

to the Mystics,

when it comes to being- I agree.

I agree.

He's the standout.

They about to be mad as hell in

the comments over one little section about

us not being able to deal with physical

stuff.

I already see what's going to happen now.

That comment came late as hell after we

were talking about that shit.

Yeah, Kiki,

I know Sony be wearing something.

Lauren Betts.

Lauren Betts, yeah.

I think best dressed team is a stretch.

Yeah, Lauren Betts, she can dress,

but again, best dressed team, ah.

We said a dream.

I was about to say,
