Long time so Brandon H what were your thoughts on this win and what what did the Wizards do down the stretch to get this W I mean it’s crazy how minor moves can make major progress right I mean if you look at the the trade for Marvin Bagley

And is livers I mean rebounding has been a lot better with Bagley um with him and Gafford as a that front Court um Tandem and with the subsequent Pro I guess they call it promotion of Westell Jr to the front office and Brian Kei being the

Coach you see renew energy man this was a really really good team Victory they played well as a team um past performances man I hate to say this but you know under Westell Jr man you always worri about those leads can we hold those leads going into the fourth

Quarter um can we fight back and we were down I mean it got to a point where we it felt like we couldn’t get any closer than six points you know they had a lead for the most part but we fought we fought hard man um it all starts in with

The boards man the boards we the battle of the boards is where we won this game we out rebounded them 53 to 45 14 offensive rebounds which led to 66 points in the paint and 18 Second Chance points so I’m G start with my guy man uh

My man the landlord Daniel Gafford this was by far his best performance of the year I mean eight offensive rebounds he very very very active uh 16 points 13 rebounds one block uh two steals very very active man I felt like at times now

Wiama is a hard cover um he still had 22 points 11 rebounds but nine for 19 from shooting so I I feel like at time Gaff really played him well I mean he played so to me this is his best game by far this year I’m looking at the rest of the

Uh starting five Tai is going against his brother man 15 points nine assists now s for 16 you know he definitely got those shot attempts up man but um I definitely like what I see from tus Jones man you know 15 points I’ll take but his assist numbers have been money

And you know to a potential trade that that is just money for his trade value so he’s been playing really good basketball um setting the team up finding open Shooters uh Jordan P 13 points six for the 13 so the deficiency was there uh definitely got to work on

The turnovers but I’m not going to dampen the mood Jordan p played very very decent game Denny Avia nine points eight rebounds five assists very very active um I mean if you look at um he was very very I mean he contributed you know nine points eight rebounds five

Assists so he was definitely very very active and Kyle kman 18 points 11 rebounds five assists so again he was very active now his shot just wasn’t dropping seven for 18 you know he definitely struggled with the shot over four from three but the starting five was very active on the defensive and

Offensive end very very active um looking at the bench two names to really look at and um before we get to them kissper 19 minutes eight points um he had his moments and shamut u 10 points six points or 10 minutes I mean and six points and shooting two for four from

The field so underwhelming but Bagley and Bow kabali Man I mean this bench looked good 15 points by baggley five for six from the field cluding five for six from free throw I’m just trying to tell you man ever since we said something about free throws he’s been

Working on those free throws man so right um looking at Bow those two three-point shots Man Ice Cold Man I mean he you know he’s I mean tonight he had some ice cold water in his veins man I mean he took the shot he looked know the confidence is there and that’s what

We’ve been saying the whole time as far as bow and Denny and you know these young guys man is that confidence is always a big is a big key with young players and when the confidence is high for both of those guys especially B wow man he can play I mean the offensive

Side he’s not starting at zero you know obviously he has to F tune his offensive side definitely working some things but I like what I see from Blau so overall this is a beautiful team Victory I mean they play as a team now I get it uh we

Said this last time e against the Pistons I get it it is the San Antonio Spurs but a little bit of get back I mean they got that that winnable game in DC they kind of snuck a win on us man so we got to get back on the road against

The San Antonio Spurs and you know we’ll see um two in now now the schedule does get a little harder um going into February man but we’ll take this man um this is a much needed win two straight victories yet against lud teams but who

Cares man I mean we’ll take the dubs so you know overall man beautiful team Victory you know it’s really refreshing to see how good they are when they play as a team and tonight they played as a team and they look good so 100% I mean wow they they outrebound a team two

Games in a row and guess what they win both games yeah the of Bagley has been huge he didn’t rebound a lot tonight but still just his presence being there Gafford with a double double him just getting turned up yelling off the offense and rebounding yelling in

People’s face I love it I love the energy kozma tipped it to him we even got Jordan P getting the steal and playing some defense so Chief Keef I mean coach Chief Keef has these guys playing with high energy man and and will doin said they just needed a

Different voice in there yes I get it it’s the Pistons and the Spurs but the Pistons did just beat the Thunder a darn team and the Pistons are talented too you know you got the Spurs who they just lost to last week and we were down the

Wizards were down by 14 points we’re we’re we’re so used to being up by 14 15 points yeah with West and losing the game and they actually were down and made ajustments and came out found a way to win uh tus Jones was huge like you said finding guys getting a bunch of

Assists um just being a floor General out there man and that’s what we need from a point guard from a point guard and he’s actually you know a guy where we have to trade him but you know if we were a competitive team I would definitely love to keep tus Jones on his

Roster because he’s a legitimate professional you know he does he does the little things the right way is he uh a superstar point guard or explosive no he’s not but he gets the job done he does what he’s supposed to do he gets Guys open and he hits Big Shots down the

Stretch man whether he’s hitting that floater hitting the three mid-range like he he’s he’s a very good player and I think he’s definitely going to help a team and you know we talk about him possibly getting us the first round pick I think you could get something similar

To that if not a first round pick then you definitely get a good player in a second round pick but you know I won’t talk too much about the trade for him right now just enjoy the win um 66 points in the paint you brought that up

Too I mean we dominated in the paint especially against uh wimy wimy had an offensive rebound towards the end of the game but you know I think they should have called offensive re offensive foul on wimy going over Bow’s back like that yeah but they didn’t it is what it is on

That so we made up for that and uh made sure we got our our a couple offensive boards on our end uh the next play but uh tus hit a big shot Jordan P hit a big shot to tie it up we got that steel

Balow hit a big three he made a nice layup as well so balow contributed in different ways he had a he had a better shooting tonight looks like he plays a lot better when he plays against his former teammate in uh in wmy and uh Koz

You brought up to that he didn’t shoot the ball well he had he had eight points in the fourth quarter so he shot a lot better in the fourth but even though he didn’t shoot the ball well he went out there and rebound 18 points 11 boards

Five assists so guys guys are stepping up even if they’re not having good shooting nights they’re doing other things uh baggley with 15 blow with 13 uh Corey with eight he hit two three so he contributed out there too so um just the adjustments in the field and tyus

Jones said in the postgame press conference too just Brian Keef trusting in Him just having that feel of the game you know so it’s a reason why these guys are saying saying that you know and just feel feeling those adjustments that they’re getting already within three games from uh interim head coach uh

Excuse me Brian Keef so um good team win rebound the ball scoring scoring in the paint uh guys contributing Jordan P starting to show effort on the defensive end here so we’re getting some different things from uh under Chief under Brian Keefe already so it’s good to see and I

I’ll take the W any way we can oh absolutely I’ll take the man I don’t care who’s against I mean we said the last episode man anybody can beat anybody in this league man I mean the Pistons just beat who the Thunder I mean anybody can win any given night I mean

He a professional League these the best bastketball players on the planet so anybody can win any given night so we’ll definitely take back-to-back victories like I said the vi um the schedule does get harder but you know like I said I’m not gonna harp on that you know this is

A really really good team Victory as far as confidence this you know a lot of guys going confidence a few things kind of look at man yo that block on soan I mean GFF swatted that thing man yeah I mean yeah that was awesome oh man

And then that putback Dunkey D just you s you see a lot of En you saw a lot of energy tonight you know these guys have a renew energy and it’s good to see um you know what said we’ve already you know I’m not I hate to beat a you know

Dead horse man but you know change was needed and it shows because the energy is definitely at alltime high this year with the players man uh czz man you see the leadership you know he’s definitely talking to guys you guys and also I mean Brian Keefe not stoic man I mean he

Definitely is yelling out there he’s directing people he’s running play I mean you see just a big difference so um yeah before we move on man I mean I love what I saw tonight when they play as a team this is a better to watch Team I

Mean they’re they’re fun to watch when they play as a team so you know we’ll definitely take the victory but looking forward you know they’re definitely going to test um we’re definitely gonna get tested going forward man yeah and they didn’t turn the ball over at all in

The last four minutes of the game uh Gafford and baggley they they combined for Gafford I want to say had a career high and uh with eight offensive rebounds which is huge for Gaff U you know we give Gaff a hard time sometimes everybody does but uh he he really

Stepped up so yeah Gaff and Bagley they combined for 31 points and 17 boards and 11 for 14 from the field B had a team best of plus 13 so different guys stepped up tonight it was a team effort for sure so uh we’re going to get to a

Answer in there but I’ll just give it out to you guys because I I feel I’m I’m feeling generous after night so uh 1999 so we’re going to party like it’s 1999 good God good job Adrian Wilson whoa shouldn’t even said that oh my Lord good job Adrian Adrian wison 1999 so

We’re gonna Party Like It’s 1999 tonight for sure we got a we got a cherish the the win streak and uh this is the first two game win streak for the Wizards this season as well wow so yeah man I mean that that’s a heck of

A statistic so 1999 oh man so um moving on man um reports Quinton uh Grimes is definitely a target for the Washington Wizards so uh we’re gonna talk about that and look at a trade sending unfortunately Daniel Gafford to the Knicks I’m so we’re gonna discuss that

And then get into comments so uh looking at Twitter um there’s been reports that multiple teams are interested in quitting Grimes now we are definitely one of them and I’m going to pull up the other teams real quick because is uh I don’t know if you see e um

But we are definitely one of those teams so this uh this came from uh there’s a report that says that Grimes said late Thursday that he’s aware of the trade talk but it does impact his approach to the game um the Hawks wizards and Jazz are among the

Teams that are interested in Grimes now this comes in the cups of the Wizards and or the Knicks rather have an interest in watching The Wizard center Daniel Gafford um one popular trade has been on Twitter today e was Daniel Gafford being sent to the Knicks for

Quinton Grimes forier and a first round pick so um do you how much smoke do you think is to this report of Quint gri being on the Wizards radar and if that was a if that was a trade that was presented to you would you roll with it

He um the first round pick Evan forier and Quinton crims is included as well yes sir yeah so that um yeah I think you have to take it because you get that first round pick back that you know we we traded away that had so many

Protections on it so we would get it back from the Knicks and um forier of course you just take on the contract just two years laughing and you get a solid player in Quinton Grim so that would be a win for the Wizards um if gaffer plays like this every night I

Would hate to see him go but you know they they do need to accumulate assets and first round picks for sure but I don’t think that personally I don’t think the Knicks do that I don’t think they give up Grimes who’s a young really really good three-point shooter forier

They they don’t really they couldn’t care less about forier they’ve been trying to get rid of him for like the last two to three years yeah and that first round pick I don’t think they give it up but the Knicks are desperate I’ll say that I’m not going to say that they

Kind of are because Julius Randle right now he’s out for a couple weeks with a shoulder injury yeah hardenstein has an Achilles injury Mitchell Robinson most likely won’t be back uh this season to be honest at I don’t know I’m not a doctor but you know most likely he won’t

Be back we’ll see may be back for the playoffs so they need a big man um you know Tibido he runs his players into the ground he gives their guys a lot of minutes so gaffer would be playing probably a little bit more than what he’s playing gaffer’s playing around 30

Minutes so he probably get around 35 minutes with the Knicks they certainly would utilize him and uh tibo I think Tibido would definitely definitely expect a lot of toughness at a Gafford too so he would have to play every night like he like he did tonight so personally I think the Wizards would

Take it but I I just don’t think the Knicks do I don’t think they include the first a first Grimes and Evan forier the money would would work out because you know we have the um traded player exceptions yeah so it it it definitely could it it is real it could happen I

Don’t personally I don’t think it would happen but I think it’s something the Wizards definitely pick up the phone and and take that because they want to they would they would get that first round pick oh I mean looking at Grimes and forier and a first round pick yeah you

Definitely gota take that man but you know Gafford is just is a curious case man because the the front Court T of mhem and Marvin Bagley I do like and and it’s a 20 I’m sorry it’s a 2024 first round pick not a 2040 not a 20 40 chugs

Yeah but I mean like I say man um big fan of the this front Court tandem of Gafford and back I ain’t gonna lie to you man I mean if you look at gafford’s contract is very Team friendly so I wouldn’t be upset I like G that’s my guy

Um if he stayed but if you’re able to get a first- round pick you gotta make that move man I mean he gota make that move because I mean it’s been handed down by ownership that they won picks you know presumably two on 2025 and and later because they’re not very high on

Next year’s or this draft coming up but yeah you take you take that move man I mean if you get a first round pick and a young guy I mean I’m with you E I don’t see them giving a young guy out like Grimes who man he’s a very intriguing

Prospect and a first round pick now I think it’ll be an inspiring a young player or a pick I that’s a little much because here’s the thing man um most teams that have been rumored to be interested in Gaff is in a backup capacity now if you looking at

The Knicks obviously he he could definitely come right in and start for the Knicks because you know hardenstein injured um Mitch Robinson the reports been all over the place you know some people saying he’s down for the year some people saying he may not he may

Come back later in season we’ll see um but they’re definitely trying to make a playoff push so right now I could definitely see the moving a young player like Grimes because he’s not getting too much love in the rotation and they’re trying to make a push for the playoffs I

Mean because they’re trying to make moves you know this year and next they’re trying to um really turn into a competitive team in New York so I can see them making that move but we’ll see uh I think that definitely would be a big win for the wizards but um I think

There’s a little too much for GFF I mean I think they either going to get a young player and and or a pick and you know for8 I mean that’s not a bad contract he kind of like bagley’s where he’s a free agent after next year so it’s not a

Long-term commitment so I would definitely take that on I mean we’re going to be a rebuilding team anyway so we’ll see I he’s a vet so we could definitely you know kind of checks that box you know if we get rid of kozz which

Is our leader you know he have a guy who has who’s a veteran league so you still got a veteran in locker so yeah I would definitely take that trade in heartbeat but that’s the thing like you said man um for a first yeah but I’ve kind of

Grown with Bagley and gab man I don’t know about you e but that front Court Tana man I mean they they fit they really do I mean the rebounding has been a lot better um Gaff man I don’t know if he’s feeling pressur like is a competition for the starting job but

He’s he’s got some energy man Ian he’s out there he is he is playing hard man so I love what I see from Gaff um like I said I wouldn’t be too disappointed if he stayed like I said big fan of gaff that’s my guy but if you’re able to get

A first absolutely I mean that’s a no-brainer in my opinion but yeah I mean intrigued long term I am a little in at least um the end of this year and next year I’m intrigued to see what him and Bagley can do as a front Court T in my

Opinion so we’ll see man yeah I think bagley’s making them better bagley’s pushing them I think bagley’s effort and energy and rebound is contagious kma’s rebounding more and Gaff you know he doesn’t want to lose that starting spot I see some of the comments saying that Gaff he’s the footsteps back

And um he’s playing better and teams are seeing that you know so I think I don’t know if we’ll get a first for him but you know I think a lot of teams are are definitely looking for like the Knicks I feel like they definitely definitely want them because they don’t have any

Bigs really at all and uh the Rockets they want a backup for S goon I think he would be a really really good backup for S goon so I I hate to see gaffer leave I like him as a person I think he’s a think he’s a darn good player really do

I think he’s one of the he would he would be the one of the best backup bigs in the league if he played for the Rockets behind s goon and then the Knicks when Mitchell Robinson comes back he would be a backup to Mitchell Robinson which I don’t think they’re

They’re kind of even to me I think Mitchell Robinson is slightly better if that really not much better so um but yeah I think gaffer would be really really good with the Knicks with Jaylen Bronson too I think Brunson would make him better too but uh yeah I I like him

Here I would love for him to stay but we get as a business and at the front office they want to get more first round picks they uh there’s a report that ownership has a mandate for them to get pics yeah man I mean like I said oh yeah

Yeah I mean it’s just one of those things I’m 50-50 like I said I wouldn’t mind him staying here you know it’s an affordable contract he’s not gonna break the bank um but if you’re able to get asset back because I know right now they need picks man they need young guys so

Yeah gas my guy man but if if you find an attractable trade make that move man but you know I think either way we can definitely benefit so um we’re going to get into comments but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by better help so we are right into

Of them man but um let’s get into e yeah one thing so um Ava Wallace asked Kyle kma about head coach Chief Keith and Kyle kma said that uh his attention to detail is insane all the little little things matter he said that they had a practice solely focused on me mental

Discipline so uh coach chief keeps switching things up and just had a practice focusing on mental discipline and that’s huge man that’s different you don’t hear a lot of coaches doing that you know I think that’s a big part of um I think that’s a big part of them

Focusing and locking in and just getting that feel and you know coming back from being down 14 just having that mental discipline that’s what you need down the stretch too and kman needs it too because a lot of the shots that he takes down the stretch is not a lot of mental

Discipline so I think that’s huge for him as well Jordan P too he needs that mental discipline this something they should have done a long time ago and you can see the guys are a little bit more focused now and more locked in uh for sure so imagine if they would

Have started doing this they should have been doing this earlier so you know all the just getting all the stuff out of their system with Jordan P throwing the ball at the backboard he’s more locked in getting Steals and uh you know K were fighting hard on the board so I love

From coach Chief keth I mean look there’s something to that man I don’t know um all your old heads out there man but look Phil Jackson used to introduce Zen Buddhism to the Chicago Bulls they were doing yoga you know um he was very very in the spiritual stuff man um

Clearing the mind because wherever the Mind goes the body follows so I definitely can dig that man I ain’t trying to get deep tonight but uh definitely definitely man you already let him know better help man so keep it going better help man look oh I know look at that shout out to

Sh Biz man one say uh hey Ed hasn’t C all episode I’m proud of the young L thank you guys thank you thank you thank you it’s because of the winning streak that’s why it’s because of the winning stre there you go finally got out of my system oh I know

Right uh the son says Chief ke look at how our guys try and put in effort with him compared to West I mean yeah I mean you see a difference e you really do this renew energy with the with these players to responding to the coaching

Change and we said it you know how long was the leash GNA be for West sunel junor you know you know we both were kind of puzzled when they enacted that fourthe option and it just shows that they they needed another voice they needed desperately needed to change Co a

Coach man so Ryan Keef man he’s been good for this team he really has so yeah he he has he has um they have been putting in a lot of effort I do think the addition of baggley has certain help help with that yeah oh man dang it

Almost made it the whole way through but um just having another big man that can rebound the ball and you know getting the ball in tas’s hands you know instead of seeing you know love czz czz can take over the games too but you just need a

Point guard that you know can distribute the ball and get guys on the right spots and I think that was huge from tus tonight uh for sure so I think that was a big move by by Brian Keefe to get the ball in tas’s hands and just let him take

Over yeah man Tai has been playing good basketball man I mean like you said e you hit the nail in the head if he was not going to get traded and if this was not a rebuilding team I would love him to be our point guard because he fits the

I mean he’s that floor General he’s looking to distribute first I mean he’s got that floater down to a key man I mean every game man he’s hitting the float so yeah if we were looking for that point guard to lead a team to the playoffs I would love him to be our

Point guard to be honest with you man he’s played good basketball um 757 final says I think I’m done with Jordan P experiment but great win Gaff blow and Bagley showed out um you know Jordan P here’s the thing I mean he’s young man

Um yeah I get it I I I do get that you know the immaturity the issues he had early in the year he does look more locked in but I I do believe that he needs to find who he is in DC you know I think that

After the deadline when you see a lot more responsibility we’ll see what we have in Jo p i mean right now he has no value right now nobody’s beating down the door to trade for him so it behooves us it behooves him that if he indeed a

Long-term peace we gotta get him right get him coached up see what we have and go from there if he’s not just for the sake of trade value we got to boost that value up so um yeah I mean he’s still young he is not even close to being in

This Prime so I think that you know you got I get it’s frustrating but you kind of have to take the wait and see approach of Jordan P because he’s still acclimating man and he came from a championship team in Golden state to a young rebuilding team that has just got

Win number nine I think you know what I mean so that that’s the big culture change man so we’ll see you know we’ll definitely see how he run you know plays after the deadline and hopefully he comes in next year with you know renewed Focus but he’s young so and don’t forget

He can definitely play some ball so I you know we’ll see if we can work with him but he’s got the talent he definitely has the talent If he if we can help him figure it out I still believe he can be a diamond in the ruffy yeah I mean the talent’s there

He’s a legitimate scorer he’s a really good ISO scorer one1 guy yeah side selection is questionable defense of course is not you know his Forte or his calling card but you know you do want to see the effort there and you did see a steal against sh Shetty Osman that was a

Big play down the stretch because Shetty Osman he he was he was cooking you know he had 20 points he came off the bench hit four threes he he definitely was scoring pretty easily and uh it was good to see Jordan P you know provide some type of toughness on the defensive side

Of the ball so you know you’re seeing a little bit of improvement there it could be um Keef coach Keef you know coach him up to play be a better Defender yeah that could be it but but um yeah we know he’s a talented player right now like

You said his try value right now he doesn’t have much at all I don’t think anybody really is we haven’t out all the reports we haven’t seen not one SE teams as for Gaff tus um den of course CZ Denny um everybody really but Jordan P

We haven’t I don’t I don’t think I’ve seen any report from anybody saying that they are interested in Jordan pool at this point but like I said I’m a Jordan pool fan I love his game I love what he’s done with I love what he did with the Warriors

When they won a championship just right here it’s been a it’s been a roller coaster ride for sure it’s been a roller coaster ride absolutely man but keep you know hey definitely keep the faith man because he he’s young guy man he he’s in my opinion he’s already shown that he

Can play in the NBA just trying to fine-tune all the other areas of his game so he’ll be all right um yeah Smith 29 a lot of numbers in his name he said t is grown on me yeah he he yeah I mean he’s he’s playing a really good ball and

You see you know he’s a legitimate professional he’s always been a backup to jaw and he’s getting this opportunity to start and he’s taking advantage of it man so I love what I see from him like I said I I would love for him to stay I

Really do I like him a lot uh I really wish he was here last year with porzingis KZ and Bill I think he would have been a better fit than when Monte was I think he would have settled helped settle bill down a little bit but kind

Of like it doesn’t matter anymore but uh I like the way he plays basketball he’s a smart guy doesn’t turn the ball over much and um floaters threes he knows what he’s capable of he doesn’t try to do too much so um I I’m a big fan of tus

Jones game he’s played really really well he’s had a triple double this year he’s had a couple games with 10 assists so um yeah I think he’s he’s been a good player oh absolutely if we were a team that was looking for a point guard to

Lead us to the playoffs it would be TI JS I mean he is the perfect floor General man it’s like the the equivalent of a quarterback who’s just perfect for the system I mean he just knows you know what I mean all the right reads I mean

He’s just he’s played good basketball uh shout out to Shu biswan man the comment of the night was born in 99 man I appreciate that I definitely appreciate that ‘s see DMV for Life said best game for Gafford all year we might get it first for him if we trade him like

Reports are saying a lot of teams won him I mean I I I I still don’t see a first for Gaff man because right now a lot of teams looking for him to be a backup and I’m I’m not trading the first round pick for a backup I mean I’m just being 100

Now yeah I mean considering make a playoff run and they really need help at Center maybe I mean how how bad do they need the help I mean right now the Knicks are looking trying to make playoffs so you could possibly see that from Knicks but I don’t see that from

Any other team but the Knicks honestly if that were to happen and it’ll be similar to the deal we already talked about but I mean Gaff man we’ve been I’ve been tough on them we’ve been tough on them a lot of people have been tough on Gaff but that tandem I’m saying right

Now I I like what I see with him and baggley as a tandem in the front Court man I mean they work well you know so we’ll see if he’s if he stays I would definitely not be upset because I like that but I mean if you’re able to move

Him for a good return I wouldn’t be upset either man so the biggest thing is we have options so great all right uh I guess we’ll do one more you you guys are tough of my guy e are uh 757 finest you guys have some funny

Comments tonight for sure but um I see a couple Johnny Davis comments in here you know we won’t talk about Johnny M tonight maybe another episode yeah but uh I guess we’ll read one more and wrap it up was a late start 11:17 here on the East

Coast uh let’s see here I guess I’ll try to find a positive one I see a lot of Jordan pool back and forth talk on here a lot of guys arguing about Jordan P um baggley has yeah all right well yeah we’ll eat on we’ll end on a good note

Here and not have the back and forth about Jordan p and what not uh Eddie says baggley has also been a consistent player great see yeah man I love the baggley trade to trade him to trade mcalla and Gallow and get back baggley and livers in two second round picks I

Mean what a steal I mean yeah he uh he he he has definitely helped this front court or you know this front court because we had no presence to get any boards at all and um you know centers wmy still had a good game because he’s wimy but at least we’re actually out

Rebounding teams that’s something that we never we never did really at all um baggley gets here and we start to rebound and it’s making Gaff better too because Gafford feels that pressure that he needs to play play harder and play better too absolutely agree on all J had

A chip too tonight too I forgot about that I did see a picture of that you know caught that elbow yeah definitely looking like Monte last year man I mean he got hit hard man so I mean definitely shout out man he came back in he had that uh mouth guard looked like

He was boxing but um yeah everybody wants us to go they want us to go an hour long tonight because it’s a win we don’t get to feel this you know they want to cherish it they want to cherish win because we don’t get to do this much it’s like a

Celebration it really is it’s like a party you I know it’s the only party in town for nine win team man I know I know but I mean look you know I think the biggest thing is you know they look good when they play as a team they really do

I mean they they played as a team and they look good man and you know like you said you know beginning the broadcast man I mean small moves can have Major Impact like you know you know the Bagley trade wouldn’t create no ripples you know what I mean but it was the perfect

Trade for us and you know looking at Brian Keef man we’ll see they respon to so I think the biggest thing oh I know look I mean the biggest thing to look at with Brian Keefe now is like all right you know we got a couple good wins man

But can we keep this thing going you know how’s this impact when we go against contending teams and we getting smacked around a little bit you know that that that’s kind of that’s what I’m looking for um is what is going to be the reaction when things are bad because

You you know what I mean because right now we’re we’re filling it we’ve got a couple good wins but I mean look the schedule coming up e you know how did react with Brian Keefe when it comes to a lot of these these contending teams so um and that’ll really tell me where

They’re at with Brian Keefe and what his impact is but I mean the way he’s the impact that I see now if you see improvement with the young guys man I have no problem with him staying around a little bit because he he obviously knows what he’s talking about and what

He’s doing and you’ve already seen changes with him just yelling and getting at people and and holding a standard I mean so you know we’ll see with Bron ke man we might already have our head coach of the future yeah no I mean I I would wouldn’t be I mean we got

To see we got to let things play out but yeah I would not be upset if they promoted him to the to the full-time head coach especially if he keeps this up for sure no I know we’re not going to win a bunch of games because they still

Want to of course you know be in the lottery they still want to get a top three pick of course so we understand that but uh and the next couple games are tough the heat at home they play the Clippers at home the heat at home the

Sun’s at home Cavs at home a lot of home games but a lot of tough teams a lot of teams who suns are playing better as of late they’re finally healthy um the heat are always going to be the Heat their culture Cavs they they beat

Us pretty bad the last time we played them then we go on the road against the Sixers 76ers and then we play to Maverick so yeah it’s the month of February is a is a challenging month for sure absolutely um before we roll Man Dustin Smith said he had a tear in his

Eye after this win oh my I feel you though I feel you Andy let me say this before we roll man let me put the belt up there too we got yeah put the belt up put the belt up I don’t know who defensive belt oh man shout out
