Transcript of Alley Oop 166: Draymond Says He Built the Warriors Dynasty | Tatum Returns, Knicks Panic & Lakers Without LeBron

Return of the Mac. Return of the Mac. Here it is. Welcome back to the Alley Oop. On with my sister as always, Trista Crick. How you doing?

Return of the Crick.

There it is. Return of the Crick.

I'm back in the home studio, Juju. Back one more time, one more again.

One more again Head down, P-popping on the handstand. Bro, we're going to get scraped to it. Somebody else is back. My boy, ring the alarm. I've been through this too long, and I'll be down if I let the Celtes keep playing without me I'm not finna pull up on him. Jason, Tate on two games back, 20, parents yesterday, three rebounds, two assists. I was so wrong. Let me just get out here and say that. I was of the notion that my boy should rest that Achilles, man. Just give that Achilles a break. Just put it on some ice, if you will. But, boy, am I happy to be wrong? What did you think of this?

First and foremost, our guy didn't start out great in game one. And I was getting updates when I was on the plane, and they said, Oh, he's clanked this. He's done that. And I said, Just relax, okay? I've got faith in our guy. You know what I mean? And as soon as I texted him, I've We got faith in our guy. He goes, Oh, just went up for like, Oh, just hit a three. Oh, just hit another three. And it's been smooth sailing ever since. I think for me, I know that Tatum and the Achilles in general, The hardest part, the hop to get over is the mental, right? And if he feels confident mentally, which let's be real, one of the, quote, unquote, no pun intended Achilles His heels of Jason Tatum is sometimes the mental, right? Physically, he has all the tools. So if he feels good enough to come back this early, then if you like it, I love it, Juju, to be for real. He looked incredible. Three, the efficiency is not quite there yet, but the rebounding is there. Twelve rebounds against the Mavs, seven assists. And it's not just what he does offensively.

Defensively, I think he brings this team to a whole new place. And in a world where OKC still doesn't have Hardenstein, still doesn't have Jalen Williams, got back and forth stuff going on with their role players in terms of injuries, My thought is, could they steal a title? Steal one.

Steal? I don't know about stealing now. It's right there. It's free. They say it's free right there. I'll take some hard work. It's on the curb. It's really on the curb. They say you need hard work and dedication to pick him up. I don't know. I feel like my boys are displaying that. Definitely, yes.

But they didn't think this was going to be anything. They thought maybe they'd be in the A. J. Debança category in the Darren Peterson. They thought their fans was going to be deep into the Jonathan Givoni mock drafts right now. Instead, we're looking at odds for the Larry O.

Exactly. Them boys were going from Darius A. Cuff to On the Cuff. Some great This is the king season. You dig it? Well, yeah, man. Welcome back, Jay Tizel. You know I already think we're going to win the championship. You see how I done a little bit of redecorating here, if you haven't noticed. I see. If you feel me, for the listening audience, it's on Celtics Every day over here now for the rest of the year.

There's three Tateam's jerseys, a white, a black, and a green. There's a white, Derek White. There's a black, Jalen Brown. Yeah. What's the one on the... Is that a Pritchard? What's that on the other side? Horford?

Over here, I got some banners hanging. I got whatever it takes, Championship shirt. I got a lot going on. Everything I got on my. That's a pierce.

Paul pierce one.

Yeah, Paul pierce. The truth, as they say. And I always keep this close to me for the listening audience. This is the actual real deal confetti from the night that it happened. So we're not even going to neither here nor there. Moving on to the Las Angeles Lakers. I think it's how you say it. It's French. Las Angeles.

You dig? Welles' Vagina.

Bro, them boys be looking very nice without the king. Now, I'm not one of the people who subscribe to their better team without the king. Absolutely not. But I can't help but notice that thing. Rui Hachimara look like a brand new Sherry Impala out there whenever LeBron ain't out there. It may be a coincidence, or is there something? Is there something in this putting? Maybe some proof?

You're trolling. You know you're literally I'm just saying I'm not going to say it, but they do look really good without LeBron. I don't subscribe to it, but just tell the world what the Lakers record is with Austin Reeves and Luka Donchik.

I did smash the subscribe button. I did not smash it.

Nine and two with Austin Reeves, AR-15, and Luka Donchik. Thirteen and seven without LeBron. This is a team. I don't think they're better without LeBron. For sure not. But they're better without Luca and LeBron on the floor at the same time. There we go. So whatever you want to say that is, that's what that is. Let's try it out with Austin Rivers and LeBron and no Luca and see what that combination looks like. The problem is Luca is making a lot of money, and he's the future franchise. So I don't think you want to test that little scenario out.

It It sounds like me and my sister are saying a lot of the same things without actually saying them. They're going to figure it out, but they're better because no matter if he want to be there or not, I think this is LeBron's last couple of games, 20 games, scratch, plus the playouts with these Lakers. So you better have fun before my boy take over the Big Apple this day.

I don't want to see him in Purple and Gold in the '26, '27 season at all.

No, absolutely not. But, Brianie, I don't know. I want to see him in Purple and Gold forever. Laker legend coming soon. Moving on to the people who they beat, the New York Knickerbockers, bro. One day they look like they could knock out Mike Tyson. Next day, they're getting beat up by the first person on Mike Tyson punch out, just knock straight out the ring. They look so goofy when they don't execute. It's like they have every position. Like you said earlier, it's a mental thing to me with the Knicks. Mikael Bridges, drive drive the ball to the damn hole. O. G, drive the ball to the damn hole. Cat, take your time in that post position. Stop offensive fouling. Gather yourself. Jalen Brunson, you better just be waiting for the the house because I don't even recognize you right now, bro. Salute. But come on now. You might be able to put Tyler Kholik out there for a while. What's your thing about these nicks?

I think Jalen Brunson needs to get to the training table and miss a couple of games. His ankle doesn't look right to me. He's not moving well. Jalen Brunson has always been the guy that's super ball dominant and will pass late into the shot clock or wait until late into the shot clock before he starts looking to play make. And that's an issue. I saw this, and I think that this has some truth to it, that if you can put a wing on Karl Anthony Towns because a big can play off of Josh Hart because Because they don't trust his jump shooting. Because they're like, Well, we'll just play off him, and then we'll put a more athletic long wing on Kat, and then that big will help on cat if he tries to go face up because they don't respect Josh Hart. Then they can essentially... The defense can funnel the Knicks to have the player that they want to take the shot, take the shot. And when you're basically allowing another team to dictate who they want to get all of the touches, that's, I think, a problem. Right now, sometimes that's O'Giannanobi shooting bad shots.

Sometimes that's Mikhel Bridges shooting bad shots. And they can't just take what the defense gives them to a degree. When the defense is deciding, We don't trust these guys, and we're going to let these guys beat us instead of the ones that actually are most dangerous.

Right. Bro, I should never be getting more out of Landry Shammet than I'm getting out of O. G. And Mikael. I should never be getting more out of Jordan damn Clarkston than I'm getting out of Cat right now. Bro.

This is why Tom Thibodeau didn't even play them. You can't funnel the ball with them if they're not on the floor. How about that?

How about it, bro? Maybe my boy was on to something. I definitely still, no matter what thing, always, bro, Paris, Tom, tipp it the way you at, bro. You ain't deserve this dig dig. Mike Brown, salute. I'm glad you got your job. But at the same time, that was Bush League. Moving on, though, to a segment we like to call, Boy Stop. Apparently, Draymond Green has some things to say about Warriors fans and decided to basically make them feel bad about themselves, even though they are part of his livelihood.

So let's roll the tape.

It's that simple. I see fans saying different now. I see Warriors fans like, Yo, it's time to get him out of here. That's crazy. And to the real Warriors fans that don't feel that way, thank you. I appreciate it. To the ones that do feel that way, you was a loser before I got here. Like stone cold, forever losers. So If you say that, it makes sense to me. You've never been.

Bam.

Bam.

That's your man.

That's your man. Listen, I'm going to tell you this. You are very important mashed potatoes. You are very important green beans. You are very important. Actually, you're not even the potatoes. You're not even the green beans. You're a very important role. Because really, truthfully, the mashed potatoes were Clay Thompson.

My boy can't beat it down. Cornbread, really. My boy, the roll, bro. God damn. All right. You can be the cornbread.

Very important cornbread. But the steak is Steph Curry, and Steph Curry never comes to the Warriors, and you come to the warriors, they're still a loser franchise to this day. You were an important part of the meal, but do not act like you were the focal point of the meal. It's not before you got there. It's before Steph got there. And then before Clay got there. And yes, you were very impactful. Small ball, death lineup, all that. But without them, you are not even a You're not even a role player. I don't even think you get in the lineup without that. I don't even think you get in the lineup without that.

I don't even need to say that my boy was a Detroit Pits, he would have been out of the lead. I don't even know, bro. I need to know who the Collard Greens is then. If Steph is the Steaks, and you say Clay Thompson is the potatoes?

Yeah. Who the collard greens?

Who's the Collard Greens? Who's the Collard Greens? They can't be J.

There's no collard greens with steak.

Oh, damn. I'm ghetto. There we go. I forgot. I'm like, Who the chill? Well, either way, bro. Draymond, stop talking- Who's the Black & Miles? Who's the Black & Miles?

Monte Ellis.

Exactly, bro. Draymond, boy, stop, man. Stop I'm not talking to the fans like that, man.

Yo, and who are those dudes, by the way? What even is that podcast?

No, don't do that. Go back to it. Just pause the phone. I think it was Fred Van Fleet, bro. I don't know. Listen, is that the Fred Van Fleet?

Unguarded. They sound so out of it.

No, we're not doing that. I think they're trying to tell you.

They said, Yeah, you're right.

Man, hell, no, bro. We ain't going to do Van Fleet like that because...

Who that is? It was blurry. The photo was... I didn't know if that was a fat Zack Lovine or Fred Van Cleet.

Wait, it's just Fred Van Cleet?

I couldn't tell. It was low pixel.

That's Ted Van Cleet, boy. I don't know who that is. Listen, I couldn't tell- I don't want to smoke with it unguarded.

You're right.

Unguarded, we don't want no smoke, bro. Saluting it on the unguarded part.

They didn't even touch that with a 10-foot pull. They just let him go. They're like, You're right.

Hey, yo, man. Boys, stop, Draymon Green. Leave the fans alone, man. The fans support everything. You got a billion dollars, man. You ain't happy still.

How much money does Draymon Green make without Steph Curry and Clay Thompson?

More than my broke ass. I know that.

Not as much as he has. That's for sure.

What we got next, Ms. Rebecca?

This one is a personal favorite. Here we go.

Okay. Here we go. I believe it's she. Oh, Lord of Mercy. Sgk. Sgk. What the hell jacket is that, my boy?

I don't know, but he's tied up. Straight jacket. He's tied up.

Watch the lovely girl in back.

Here we go. That was a hole.

That was a hole in there. She didn't even see that was a hole.

Bro, since died, bro, what the fuck?

That's a hole.

Why it got to be the big girl? That's what I want to know. Why it got to be the big girl?

She pranced her ass right in the middle of the H or whatever. Oh, my God. Cte. Like, whatever they say that Antonio Brown got. We need to check on cis, bro.

She wasn't even paying attention at all. She was trying to get her swag surf on.

Oh, my God, bro. That's so sad, too. Right there. Stop. No. Oof. Mgk had to stop, bro. Usually, the artist don't say it. They'll be like, Oh, damn. Look how Mgk jumped back. My boy said, God.

He literally put his hand out like, I got you, girl.

I got you. Look at my boy. Holy shit.

Damn.

That messed up, bro. I don't know, do she have a lawsuit, though? That's the question. That's a bad set.

I can't stop playing it. I just can't stop. I just can't stop this poor thing. And the halter top over there, she ate it on the triangle right there.

She thought she was cute. She honestly was like, this was herIt was a moment, to be honest with you.

It was. Oh, my God, bro. She shared it on all her friends. She was like, From there, all of my friends can kiss my black, and bim, straight through the H, go to K. Bro, you went from the envy of all your friends' eyes to the damn butt of the joke for the rest of your life.

No, they're going to bookmark that for a while.

Yeah, hopefully she's a good sport.

The Machine Gun Kelly jacket and give her a tourniquet out of that.

All right, bro, because Bone is coming out her damn arm right now.

She might have bit through her whole bottom lip.

The rest of her tongue- She had no teeth anymore.

She had her head on it, too. Bam.

The rest of her tongue is under the K. But to whoever designed this stage and then inviting fans out there, boy, stop, Come on, man. You got to put some rope up.

Stop.
