Alley Oop 136: Jokić Drops 55, Beal’s Season Ends, Nico Fired, Hidalgo Goes Nuclear & Steph Still Elite!
14 Nov 2025
Chapter 1: How did Nikola Jokić perform in his recent game?
Did you freaking see our man Jokic last night? Two nights ago?
MVP. MVP.
Yo, he could have put up 80 points if he wanted to.
Yeah.
He had 25 in the first quarter. In the first quarter.
Yeah, he locked in right now for the MVP. Guaranteed lock of the year.
Do you watch shows about serial killers ever?
Absolutely not. Like, I try not to at all.
My mom loves all those serial killer shows. I like Dexter. And one of the things that Dexter always did when he was basically the plot of the show.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Bradley Beal's season-ending injury?
We just ain't seen a healthy one in years, bro. Come on, bro. My boy got the Kenny Smith early at stage right now.
He was healthy in Phoenix. He was healthy in Phoenix. And he looked so healthy.
Was he mentally healthy?
Okay, here we go. Here we go.
Okay, look. See, now mental health don't matter. Look at my sister.
The besmircher, ladies and gentlemen. Where was that grace for Brandon Ingram when he threw the water bottle at Cuz?
Nah, bro, that's different, bro. You got Glo sitting right there two seats down, bro. He throwing water on everybody, bro. Nah, grow up, bro.
Bradley Beal's a hot mess. Meanwhile, Norm Powell, the guy that they discarded for Bradley Beal, is probably going to win, like, maybe most improved player, maybe sixth man of the year. I don't know.
For sure.

Chapter 3: Why was Nico Harrison fired from the Mavericks?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, nah. I mean, if it's me, pay me. What did they say four years was?
Four years, 178.
Look, pay me five years, 178, right? And text me aspiration number who Kawhi was getting on it. And we'll get it right. We'll make it right.
Listen, I'm down to plant some trees, too. I will do stuff. You feel me? Okay. I'll put something on my shoes or my shirts. Listen, I will actually, if you send me the Ponzi scheme plug, I will actually make it look like I'm working for them. I won't do it quieted, which is absolutely nothing. Say it again.
Moving on, speaking of all good, we got to go to the ladies' game right now. We know the W. We know the Vegas Aces are your champion right now and probably will be so for the foreseeable future because those CBAs ain't looking too negotiable right now. But last night in women's college hoops, Hannah Hidalgo, take a bow, sis. I salute you, ma'am.
That's a blue nose right there.
Right. Forty-four. Forty-four points. Nine rebounds. Four assists. And the most astonishing stat. Not this one, Ms. Rebecca. Not just yet. This is a different team. But I like where your head is at. You are on fire with tenacity right now.
That's not that one either, Ms.
Rebecca. Not this one, though. I'm going to get you a hell of a dog on Jersey.

Chapter 4: What did Hannah Hidalgo achieve in women's college hoops?
You're not stealing the ball from me 16 times, man. Who is the point guard?
She played only 28 minutes, Juju.
Bruh. Who is the point guard? On the other team. Because you've been getting your cookies. Do you have cookies left for the next game? Listen. Or do you just got scraped milk from.
The Akron Zips. That's who they are. I don't know anybody on this team. Okay, here we go. We got Shana Brew. We got Izzy Calloway. Oh, Izzy. They got Izzy. Izzy.
Ooh. Izzy Calloway. I see you, sis.
So let's look at the depth chart here, see who she was getting the cookies from.
I don't give a damn what the depth trap is. We need to call Skylar Diggins and tell her to bring that milk jacket and give it to, who you say, the Zips? The Zips. Everybody on the squad needs some milk, man. Get that boy some milk. The mean say, get them babies some milk now because Hannah Hidalgo got cookies from each and every one of y'all last night.
Also, though, at the same time, in the same breath, last night in the women's college game, my dog, Audi Crooks won. 43 prints. Seven for nine free throws, of course, but the most amazing stat. Still not this video just yet, Ms. Rebecca. I promise, when we're ready for this video, we're going to hit you up and we're going to be like, Ms.
Rebecca, now it's time for the video. Ms. Rebecca, we're not there yet. That's LSU. We got to send you to the Audi Crooks place for the Iowa State. I move my body like a cyclone.

Chapter 5: How is Steph Curry proving he's still elite at 37?
And speaking of that, we got Miss Rebecca.
Here it is.
LSU. LSU last night. They had a game against Charlotte. Now, before the game, Charlotte made a tick tock that said, when you about to play LSU, when you know LSU about to play some real competition, finally. Miss Rebecca, pull up the halftime score.
I like the confidence.
All right. Here go the videos.
You're driving me crazy. First you want the score, now you want the tick-tock. Which one do you want, kids?
Which one do you want? Rebecca, question for you. How come every time you try to share your screen, I go full screen for a half a second and then you go to the shares? I have no control over that.
That's what Riverside does.
She has no control. That's a lie. They don't let you control.

Chapter 6: What are the latest developments with the Clippers' performance?
Because we need some whole vitamin D.
We need to get our weight up. We need to get our skills up. We need to get our arrogance down. I don't know how Charlotte ever thought they were going to compete with LSU, but I'm loving the confidence and feeling very, I'm feeling secondhand embarrassment is what I'm feeling.
Right. And secondhand embarrassment, segue. Steph Curry must have felt some secondhand embarrassment this week because it was a lot coming out of that Warriors camp about toughness, about focus. Brandon Podzemski got through in there under the bus a little bit.
It's Podzemski.
Pajemski.
There you go.
It's Pajemski. I ain't know that D and that Z made of jumps. I be saying part. You know what I mean? I'm learning. I'm willing to learn.
You feel me? Listen, you're learning all the Eastern European white names. I got you.
You feel me? With the jerry curl having Eastern European whites. A lot was going on.

Chapter 7: How did the women's college basketball teams perform recently?
No, he's incredible. The things that he does on a night to night basis. Clearly, he's having to do a lot with with the Jonathan Kaminga drama still circulating, percolating and bubbling through the locker room. Jimmy Butler.
calling them out we've got a cultural unfit situation happening and they want to trade them but they can't trade them until january because they gave them that extension i don't know it's just a matter of when not if and if you're a team like dallas maybe you say huh let's see what we can do see if we can
filter ad their way finesse them you can give us that you can't trade you cannot trade ad bro if you doubt us at this point you gotta read ad no you don't because then you admitting that bro we just traded away luka donchic for they've already admitted that juju they fired nico harrison that's pretty much the first step in the admission of you've messed up I guess so. You do.
I guess at the Alcoholics Anonymous, salute to all our people out there that's working on themselves. First thing first, my name is Juju and I'm an alcoholic. So you're right. Them firing Nico Harrison was like, yeah, our name is the Dallas Mavericks and we effed up. Even though, like, the owner, somebody had to sign off on that. It wasn't just Nico.
But at the same time, Nico was the person with responsible and understanding of what is to come with that job. He was in charge.
Oh, here we go again. I just want to say, if you've taken a quick Google scan, Ms. Rebecca or Dylan, I know Juju knows what he looks like. But if there was a... like central casting for a dumb, no-knowing basketball owner who like is a bit of a hayseed.
What's a hayseed, bruh? Come on, bruh. We can't be throwing those slurs.
You know what hayseeds say? Slurs. A hayseed, he doesn't know. He's just coming in there. That would be Patrick Dumont. The only thing sophisticated looking about Patrick Dumont is his last name.
Right. The tea is silent.

Chapter 8: What are the reactions to the recent fan incidents in basketball?
back to the video here we go listen it's true unfortunately 15 yards man personal personal file 15 yards but that was that was amazing though i can't help but you're right we put you in that position and you already know most shows And that's why we appreciate you so much. Because, yes, we do put you in awkward positions, but you're the best in the business, so we expect the best.
Roll the video. Yep. Bruh. Oh, my goodness. I'm talking about fire, Nico. He go to sleep at night hearing that shit. Like, imagine his wife in these scenarios. Imagine his kids, like, going to the arena.
They said that it's easier to play on the road than it was to play at home in terms of a hospital environment. They have a temporary rolling set of stairs seated next to Nico so he can scurry out like the rodent he is. Here's the thing. Patrick Dumont fired Nico after he sat with a Mavericks fan sitting in a Luka Doncic 77 jersey and that just added to the this guy is so dumb.
Like a fan was the final straw for you.
Right.
playing courtside with a fan stop it that's enough listen you either roll with the guy that you signed off on yeah and let the ship go down let it explode let's see how it goes let's see what it's like with kairi ad and cooper flag you're gonna have to wait it out another year you're gonna have to wait it out we're gonna be bad this is the only year we have our own draft pick
So let's just be bad, and maybe we'll mess around and get A.J. DiBanzo, or maybe we'll get Darren Peterson, or who knows? Maybe we'll get one of the Boozer twins. And so maybe it'll be Kyrie, Cam Boozer, Cooper Flagg, Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, P.J. Washington, Derek Lively. That's a squad maybe. Maybe. If they stay healthy, who's stopping them? An ACL.
You know what this is right here?
What's that?
