When I'm putting Luca, Don Chicken Devin Booker on the same team.

You're gonna tell me why it's not gonna work?

Let me tell you eight million other ways.

Why it will work.

You have two dynamic scores that can score from anywhere on the floor.

You have two guys that can pass that can make plays.

You have two guys that are just dynamic offensive, both of them.

A ball dominant, right?

No, Devin Booker doesn't need to be ball dominant.

Devin Booker.

You could play off the ball, So see if you have Luca who's willing to give up the ball a lot.

Okay, I'm just saying that that would be I'm not saying that you can use Porzingis has trade bait there because he does have a history of being injured all the time.

I just don't think that Dallas, you know, Look, you know they need another rider, If that's what you're saying.

They definitely need another rider with him because he's not the guy that you know.

He's not the Robin to the Batman.

So to speak.

I mean, he's in my opinion, he would be the third guy, So if you could get a second guy to go with him now Dallas is cooking because he's he can only take you so far.

And now Tim Hardaway Jr could be, your fourth guy said.

And he's emerged.

But it's not being like your third main option or your second option.

If Porzingis goes out now, you have him in a in a in a better sweet spot where you can just operate playing off to play makers.

It's a great point, by the way, the litany of injuries, if you were listening a couple minutes ago that J just reeled off for Zynga's, was drafted in 2015.

So basically all of that stuff has happened in a half decade.

It's unbelievable.

He's always hurt.

What can you say can help the club in the tub?

The ultimate ability is durability.

That's Michael Russia.

Straight talk wireless, No contract, no compromise.

One last thing on Luca.

He scored listen to this guy's 26.4% of their points in the series against the Clippers, so essentially scoring one out of every four points that Dallas threw down.

That's proof he needs more help this season.

As Jay said, Proof is brought to you by Pennzoil Pennzoil Synthetic motor oils are made from natural gas.

It gives you unbeatable engine protection.

The proofs in the Pennzoil based on sequence for a wear test using S A five w 30 real quick on the other side.

Because Luke was so magical, the entire Siri's we really didn't talk about the Clippers.

They face that initial hurdle, little bump in the road.

They got over it, advanced in six.

You don't seem to be concerned about them about the Clippers.

Yeah, No, I'm not concerned about them at all.

I was just hoping from a bet standpoint with Jay will that they would lose.

But at the end of the day, I knew damn well they weren't going down like that.

You know, it looks a certain way, but then co y and P G started to cook.

PG got hot, and then all of a sudden you say, Okay, this is the type of team that you know.

You got Patrick Beverley back.

So you're kind of like all right, they'll they'll be fine.

You're gonna get.

We're gonna get this collision course that we've been pretty much hoping for the last nine months that the Lakers and the Clippers should see each other in the Western Conference final.

I feel like I'm gonna be your conscience again.

You're ready for this?

I'm gonna be your consciousness.

We'll talk about originally first conscious, but go ahead and tell me what you think I'm thinking.

Yeah.

No, I'm okay With the Clippers cooking.

It's fine that the Clippers can cook e.

I don't think people have been paying attention to the way my Lakers have been playing.

LeBron looked really good the other night, man.

A D have 43 points.

I don't think we really have any concerns.

I think we're gonna be fine.

Yeah.

Let the Clippers cook all they want.

We're still going to get to the to the world championship.

I feel like that's what you're thinking.

Is that correct?

Uh, yes, yes and no.

Yes, And I'm actually thinking that the Lakers are going to get to the championship.

But for some reason that they don't, I can root for Anel 18.

Yeah, that's what I'm gon stop it.

You can't you can't do that.

My last name?

Yeah, I did say your last name, and you're not supposed to do that.

But as I said to you, when we first took over the show, I go from the bottom to the top and in between, in California.

And if the Lakers are not even in the next closest time is the Clippers.

I need every Laker fan exactly what to chime in.

You know, I'm totally rooting for the city.

I'm not shooting.

You want to hear that?

You cannot root for the other team.

That's like saying, well, the Giants and get there.

So I'm gonna root for the Jets.

You know what?

No, I don't want the Jets to do it.

I want the Jets to fail.

You see what the Clippers to fail wants that wants the Clippers.

If, in fact, they take care of the Lakers, which I don't think they will, I'm once they take care of the Lakers.

You just You just You just contradicted yourself.

Now hold on, Coach.

If they take care of the Lakers, then I gotta go.

I gotta roll with the state, man.

I'm gonna roll with the state No, that's how Who are you?

Who are you know you can't do that.

You can't do that.

You can't sit up here proclaimed to be a diehard Lakers fan.

They say that I was in ST I was I was willing to state the win and not win.

What you mean I'm just saying key?

Come on, man.

Come on.

Come on, man.

You can't be s So you're telling me you're gonna tell everybody right now on national radio that the Clippers beat your Lakers?

You're going to be, But I'm gonna be happy for the state of California in the city of L.

A.

I don't think a lot of other Laker fans will agree with you.

I don't think I've never I've never heard some blasphemy like this before in my life.

I'm never I don't understand you.

I am completely lost and I'm confused.

My loyalty is to the state after the Lakers are eliminated, if that ever happens.

Okay, so in the city s so you'll be okay with the angels.

Win the World Series.

That's what I mean.

Angels won.

The World Series is like, Okay, cool.

But it's not, you know, fine.

It's fine, but But you're happy.

You're you're You're okay.

Cruises can win the world.

Siri's I'm okay.

The Dodgers lost.

I don't the best team, and I don't think that it's gonna I think it's gonna be a really good seven game.

Siri's against the Lakers.

And I think the Lakers prevailing in Europe here sound like a politician on TV and radio.

This is not who you are.

You don't speak like that.

It's gonna be a really good seven game series.

And I think at the end the Lakers will prevail.

That's not who you are.

It's not me, Sean.

Got who the clips are gonna get.

The winner of Denver in Utah.

Correct.

E yeah, it's gonna be good to see him play against each other.

That's gonna be fun.

It's just that it's not gonna be in L.

A like we thought, Yeah, let me just say something real quick key.

I grew up a huge Lakers fan in Central Vermont in the middle of Celtic country.

Any other team?

When the title, I'd be mad.

That's just May E.

Thank you, Buster.

Buster, I'm just saying, from an l A standpoint, I just would like to see the city get the trophy, but I want the Lakers to do it.

But if it doesn't happen, there's only one team in your city.
