Chapter 2: How did Luka Doncic perform against the Cavaliers?
I think he loses track of what's supposed to be going on a lot of the time. And that really shows when you're starting and playing with the other guys. But when you can go against the second unit, you can dominate. And that's what he's been doing.
Yeah, I thought when DeAndre Ayton did talk about post moves, it was about a month ago, I thought, okay, maybe we're going to get that bad part of DeAndre Ayton's season. Nope. He's still kicking it. This still looks like a Dallas Mavericks team to some degree with Luka as your guy and all your working parts. And Ayton, usually Marcus Smart, but now he's out with an ankle injury.
We'll see when he comes back. But LaRabia pitching in, Rui pitching in, Jackson Hayes pitching in off the bench. They are absolutely clicking. I thought a funny Luka moment was when he was guarding Jared Allen in the post, and he wanted to go one-on-one.
LaRavia ran over, and while the play is happening, and while Jared Allen was catching the ball, Luka says to LaRavia, Hey, man, it's supposed to be just me guarding him. And as that's happening, as he's complaining, Jared Allen just spins around him and scores. But Luka continues to complain to LaRavia, Hey, dude, I can guard him one-on-one. So... He knows what he's doing.
That's the downfalls of a guy who will give you a 40, 45, 50. He's a little... He just complains a little bit here and there, but who cares? He scores enough and all is good. I think on the other side, though... We'll talk about guys who disappointed and who fooled us, but Evan Mobley's got to get some plays run for him.
It's kind of like we used to say about DeAndre, he's got to get the ball in the post. Evan Mobley's got to get the ball. He just wasn't involved at all in this game. And again, that big-to-big thing, if it's going to work with Cleveland, it has to be Mobley involved and Allen off the ball instead of just going to Allen all the time. So that was poopy to start the game.
The entire thing was poopy for the Cavs. What if Jared Allen's just better? He's a better passer than Mobley is. Yeah, sure. I think he has more reliable go-to moves. Uh-huh. Well, if you got those two guys on the floor, he just has to be involved. I mean, that's the thing. I don't care if Allen scores more. Mobley has to touch the ball. He has to set some picks. And Mobley, they can...
be interchangeable with Allen on the baseline or whatever. I mean, Mobley just wasn't even there. I don't think you necessarily have to run plays. But is that Mobley's fault or is that sort of the coaching's fault and your star player's fault? It's probably both, right? He has to be more aggressive, more demanding, and also maybe you need to implement him more.
But yeah, not a great performance from the Cavs. My final thought on the Lakers, did you look up Luka's dunk score for his final bucket of the night? I was just curious. I forgot to. He was very happy, though, to get that fast break dunk right at the end. And you could see, you know, he was all alone. Game's sort of over, and he's like, I'm going to dunk this.

Chapter 3: What were the key takeaways from Deandre Ayton's performance?
Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it, Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. the story of the sport's most consequential driver's strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom.
And was Daniel Ricciardo's illustrious F1 career a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this. I'm better. And plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Chapter 4: Which players and teams fooled us this season?
No Canyon, not yet. Pretty cool. That's all I have to say about Alex DeCumbo coming up. You don't think that's a, please, Giannis, we'll do anything. We'll even play your fourth brother. I mean, he was... It is. Come on. Also, Giannis hasn't played that, by the way.
When they signed him in the first place, every brother, when they signed Thanasis, it's pretty evident why they want Thanasis around. Kostas is playing in Europe. Alex was playing with the Wisconsin Patriots. Heard. So they all played for the Bucs. What do you mean?
Two, I guess. Oh, Kosas didn't play for the Bucs. He never played for the Bucs?
He was an NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers.
I thought he also was on the roster.
He didn't. I thought yesterday Jalen Dern was so good for the Pistons beating Toronto. He looked phenomenal. He looked like the handle was going past Yaka Pirtle. The fast break for that guy. I thought even his miss... With his left hand was pretty. He spun past Jack Aperto.
His only miss. All the 13 shooting.
He looked so good. His finishes, so good. Team effort was just there to take out the Raps. 60% from the floor, 56% from three. And even the last two minutes, as the Raps made it a close game, Dennis Jenkins out there guarding Jamal Shedd at the three-point line. Shed goes by him, but Jenkins is able to recover and block the snot out of him to lead to a darn bucket. So that's just effort, man.
They are peaking at the right time and will start to jump up people's vote picks in the first round slowly here. I know we're waiting for Cade at the same time to see if he returns, but they have been absolutely impressive. Yeah, the Pistons beating the Raptors to clinch their first division title since 2007-2008. So 18 years since the Pistons have won that central division. And I'm with you.

Chapter 5: Who made the hosts feel foolish this season?
Who made you to look like a fool? The New Orleans Pelicans made me look foolish. Zion Williamson convinced me in that preseason press conference. He sat at that table. I felt like I was looking at him into the camera. And he started saying that Joe Dumars, the new lead of the front office. He said that I got to be responsible. I mean, he's holding me accountable.
He said, if I slip up, he'll be right there to make sure I get right back on earth. He said, me and Joe, we had a lot of man to man conversations.
Chapter 6: What lessons did Zion Williamson learn from his injuries?
And I said, I will not let you down. As he was looking to me in the camera, I thought he was talking to me. He's like, I will not let you down. And he also said, last year I learned my body. It wasn't me in the off season. where I figured things out physically, it was during the season. You know, we always see in the summer, oh, this guy's healthy, this guy's fit.
Well, but he told me, he told me, he was talking to me. Yeah, he told everybody that last year I got injured, but I figured out how to get my body back right. He got injured after six games last year.
Chapter 7: Which teams and players fooled the hosts this season?
Then this year, injured after just five games played. They started the season 6-24 last year. I thought, okay, well, if he's going to play, then they're going to be all right. Elzion did come back and play a lot this season, but they started 8-22. Not all that different. They were just bad. He told me that he learned something from C.J. McCollum.
He said, the guy I learned from, he called this like a transition period. Transition to what? I mean, it really hasn't changed all that much, even though, again, yeah, he played. He said, I learned from Joe, talent is natural. Greatness is every day. He fooled me. And the over-under was only 31 and a half. And I thought, 31 and a half. You learned everything from the great Joe Dumars.
You're better physically. Joe Dumars has tricked you twice. He's really made you look like a fool once. When he told you the All-Star game was going to be awesome.
He's a trustworthy guy.
He fooled me last year. The All-Star game recovered this year. It sure did.
They got Joe Dumars out of there.
Guess what it was. It worked. Yeah. Well, maybe if they get rid of Joe, I'll be buying the Pelicans stock for next season. But that start of last year, again, saying that he's better physically, which again, he has played, but he lost, missed such a big chunk. The team wasn't right. But again, I'll be convinced again next year. Considering DeJounte Murray will be healthy or whatever.
Everybody will sort of be healthier, but I got duped once again. 31 and a half. Is that how low it was? That's how low it was, and they're not going to get there. You don't think they're going to win their last six? No.

Chapter 8: What are the funniest April Fool's Day pranks mentioned?
They have 26? No, they have 25 wins, so they're under. I did the math. They can't get there. They can't do it? That's amazing. But Zion's playing a lot. He's going to play over 60 games this year. Congrats. Yeah, he missed the wrong part. I mean, to miss like November... you kind of have to play and get your team going. They're 8-22 to start, and they can recover.
I mean, again, they're not even going to win 30 games. Yeah.
Who cares if he plays?
I don't think it's his fault, though. I think the team is just poorly built. Like, they've got a lot of guys who are good and not a lot of great players. And Zion has played differently this year. I think he's trying to save his body. I think he's trying to stay healthy. He's just not... White is explosive, but he's still effective. He's at 21 per game rather than 25 to 27.
But they started Jeremiah Fears at point guard for the first 20 games of the season. Yeah, there was that part. Zion was exactly the same last year. He knew when he came back that I can't be this... go all the time type of guy. And so his points slowed down last year. And so that I figured that he figured that out. They did change it up.
They fired Willie green and they said, okay, we're going in a different direction here. Derek queen's going to be playing, but Trey Murphy has had an incredible year. And, you know, they haven't got it together until DeJounte Murray kind of came around. They're kind of stable now. Yeah, their supporting guys aren't good enough. But to be that bad, again, 31 and a half is not a high aspiration.
No, I agree. They shouldn't be that bad. No, absolutely. I mean, it's still Zion playing 65 games.
Yeah.
Well, this season, that's going to be his like second most played games in a season ever. And I was going to say like, it's going to be nuts that what this is seven seasons of Zion Williamson. I know he missed the one year entirely, but seven NBA years. There's not even a playoff tab on his basketball reference page to click on because he hasn't been there.
