Hey, what's up, everybody? We're back. It's a bit chisened show basketball podcast. It's been a few weeks, but there's so much going on in the association as we hit the home stretch. Only a couple of games remain for all teams in the NBAs.

We get ready for the play in tournament and then the big Shabang, which NBA playoffs, which is going to be so awesome cannot wait.

The guys are here. Adam TJ. What's up? Great to be back. It's the best time of the year. Let's go. What up, though? What up? TJ? What was at the 400 straight win for the Clippers or the Lakers last night? I mean, it was just, you know, I was a little worried for a second, you know, because it's like Clippers of 110 in the row. And I, as I said on the big show yesterday, none of those 10 wins mean a damn if we lose this game tomorrow, which was last night because that was the biggest game that the two have had because the playup implication implications were

so great. And then right before I left, I happened just to look at some stuff. And I saw something that led me to realize that the Clippers were indeed, no matter what going to win that game. And that was that Mo Bamba was sitting out. And once I knew that Mo Bamba wouldn't be playing. I knew that it was just, it was easy work. It was light work for quiet in the Clippers. And that's what happened. 11 the world against the Lakers. And if you're only listening to the person and not watching the YouTube TJ has picked up his Kauai Leonard

that had and is showing it to the camera. What do you do, baby? What do you do, baby? A fun guy? You know, I thought it was fun. Interesting too. Is it by the way, Chris Elmine in the Ruppet? Let me just say this. And I was, that's a hill. You know, we all have hills. We're willing to die on, right?

I'm going to die on is if you're going to be honest with yourself, you have to, I think admit that I'm right. There aren't five better players in the Western Conference than Kauai Leonard.

When he's playing and he's healthy. When he's in his bag, his skill set is just such, bro. Like, it is what it is.

I agree with you, TJ. 100%. You said in the West. I thought originally you was. And then he went to boil down to, he's not even top five in the West. So that's what they do. Okay. So come on, man.

You got to give it up. The quiet Leonard's bag is just, it's unreal. Joker, Katie, Steph, LeBron, Dame.

No, no, no, you would not take Luca over Kauai, bro. There's no, you would take Luca over Kauai. Not in the playoffs. No, my thing about

Luca playing Chris, he's not going to do it. And that's why I argue with you guy. He's not going to do it on the defensive end. Period. No matter how much you like him, no matter how great you think he

guys is offensively. He's never going to do it on the defensive end. The way Kauai Leonard does what I think he is offensively. It's what he is offensively.

As much as I love Luca, this guy is incredible. Kauai was the number one guy on a championship team. And so, well, yeah, technically, I guess you could maybe say Parker Duncan. But yeah, he did

get to any peels and theory on two different squads. All right, that's all I'm going to say about that. It's fine. I mean, Luca average was like 40 game of the playoffs, it's fine. OK, OK, thank you for

ruining my trade of thought, because I was going somewhere before before you interrupted me, TJ. Well, I mean, I got to set the record straight, man. OK, that's fine. Kauai is not even going to make all NBA this year. It doesn't

matter. That's fine. And Luke is going to be first team. I thought it was hilarious that the Lakers, it was a must win game for them, obviously, because they're still in the

seventh spot right now. And LeBron and Anthony Davis were questionable heading into the game. And then LeBron goes out and throws in like a minus 31st half. He was so bad. Everyone on Twitter was like, well,

bro, I should have just stayed home, cut this guy now. And then, you know, 30 of the second app, but it was too little shows you how dumb Twitter is. It was too little too late at that point. I just thought it was interesting. I still don't know what to make of this

Laker team. I know they've gone from out and now they're they're a game back of the warriors for for the sixth spot. I still think they're going to play in the

play and I'm not convinced they're going to make it out. Adam, I just don't understand this Laker team. It's a it's such a you're right. It's such a weird team to follow because they do have two of the top 15 players in the league. And that's

obviously incredibly important to go deep in the playoffs. Superstars win playoff series. But there just seems to be a disconnect with this team where they're very inconsistent. They started off bad. They've been good since they made those trades for

D'Angelo Russell and Vanderbilt and these guys. But I really don't know what to think about them right now. I would not want to play them in the playoffs. So I'll say that just because
