Are the Cavaliers back in playoff contention?
Sources say the Celtics' decision to acquire Nikola Vucevic from Chicago before the trade deadline in exchange for Anthony Simon's expiring contract was a clear indicator that Boston believed Tatum will indeed return for a postseason run. Joe, this is your level of expertise. What you thinking? I thought I thought that quietly, Uncle Ocho, this was probably this was probably the biggest acquisition during the trade deadline. Because Boston not only do, you know, they get a pretty good B who can pick and pop. You can play through him.
What does Kevin Durant say about his future in the NBA?
He can pass. You know, he don't really have many weaknesses. He might be a little deficient when it comes to defense. But for the most part, he going to be surrounded by guys where he can really flourish. And he going to be a great – that's a great spot for them. Okay, Ocho, they were lacking in that area. So to give up Simons and give Vucevic –
What impact will Kevin Patullo have as Miami's new passing game coordinator?
Man, listen, I don't know if Tatum, I'm still skeptical about him trying to come back. Okay, Ocho, I'm gonna be honest with y'all. It's too early, Joe? Well, it's an Achilles, man. Like you gotta, like before he get out there, he probably, he gonna been had to rev that thing up to really, really see. Y'all know how tender that is, man. And then now we talking about this playoff basketball from here on going forward.
How did a viral clip spark discussion among the hosts?
Right. He gonna be playing at such a high level. It's like, that's gonna be a lot of wear and tear real quick. So I don't know if it's really worth it, honestly. So they probably brought Bigfella over there so he can help JB contribute offensively and see what type of run they can make. Yeah, I don't think they thought they would be with the injuries that they had. I think that's why they moved, because JT was going to be out. And so you see them break that team apart. They let Al Horford go. They traded Holiday and brought Simons in. They traded Christopher Zingers. So they were probably looking at Ocho from a standpoint like, you know what, there's gonna be a down year, let's get some relief. They sold the team, the new owner's like, yeah, get some relief, cause we ain't paying all this money to be out of the playoffs.
And lo and behold, JB is playing like an MVP. Peyton Pritchard has been sensational. Derek White has been Derek White playing both ends of the court.
What criticism did Gene Simmons have for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?
And so guys are playing – Hauser's coming off the bench and playing really well.
Yeah, yeah.
So guys have played above what maybe even Joe Mazzulla thought they could be in this level. Damn. I agree.
What are the highlights of the 'Play or Fade' segment?
Man, hold on. Wait a minute. I agree. We might could – It ain't no Invincibles over here on the eastern side.
What questions are addressed in the Q&A segment?
Yeah. The Knicks look good. Okay. Yeah. You know, Detroit, Toronto, Philly kind of been up and down. But it ain't no Invincibles. It ain't no 60-win teams over here. Right. So I think that's how they're looking at it. Yeah, I'm with you on that. I think a lot of us didn't. I know I didn't have the Celtics in the top of the East. You know, I thought Jalen Brown would still be an all-star. But I didn't think that they would be playing collectively as a team, playing this great of basketball that they've been playing. They really surprised me. And I think they got a chance, bro. They got a chance. They got a shot. They got a shot. Uh, Joe, the Cavaliers have won 10 of their last 11, including five straight. Um, they're 34 and 21 now.
Um, what are you thinking, Joe? Are the Cavs back? You know, they made the trade for James Harden.
