| 0:00.0 | All right, what's up, everybody? Let's crack in. It's a rich eyes and show basketball |
| 0:07.7 | podcast here on a Wednesday of very happy Wednesday for TJ Jefferson Adam. What's up, |
| 0:13.2 | fellas? Happy holidays, everyone. It's 420. Happy holiday. Hey, let's start this show |
| 0:21.0 | without breaking news. We're filming this recording this on Wednesday afternoon. It's 1230 Pacific |
| 0:27.4 | and a watch tweeted out by an hour ago, Devon Booker, MRI results on his right hamstring, |
| 0:34.0 | unlikely that he's going to play in games three and four in New Orleans. That was kind of the big |
| 0:39.1 | thing last night, guys. I didn't think that was going to be any type of game. Phoenix look great |
| 0:43.6 | in game one, Chris Paul, a huge game. Devon Booker comes out and throws in 31 in the first half |
| 0:48.9 | and you're like, all right, well, they're cruising. This is probably going to be a sweep. Booker goes |
| 0:54.5 | down. Now he's out three and four. How is this series changed? Does New Orleans now, New Orleans |

| 1:31.8 | So yeah, no, I think that the suns are in trouble right now. I still think they will win the |
| 1:35.9 | series, but this is more than they bargained for, I think. Man, TJ, seven games, you think Phoenix |
| 1:44.4 | has a chance here. I'm telling you what, Booker's out for how long it's being said, at least three and |
| 1:48.7 | four. Okay. Well, let me explain something to you. Brandon Ingram, ball ballin, right? And you |
| 1:54.1 | look at Brandon Ingram. He's one of those guys who has that perfect NBA build, right? He's six, |
| 1:58.8 | nine, six, ten long arms, got it, can handle the rock, can shoot Brandon Ingram, balled out last |
| 2:05.9 | game and let's tell you what, without Devon Booker in the lineup, here's what's going to happen. |
