All right, it's time for Thursday Thunder, presented by Drapkings. Drapkings, the Crown is yours. Juju.
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are sitting down for this We are. Because today marks the biggest Thursday Thunder in the history of thunderstorms. You can bet on it. Perfect. You can bet on it. Tell them, I mean, man, we got a loaded slate. It's a lot of news coming out of the Raiders, so I'm taking he. First leg, Gino Smith over two rush attempts tonight. He going to have to take a knee. He going to have to get away from some pressure. That's a Scooby Snack. Salute to Shaggy. Second leg, Trey Tucker. Three receptions. Jacobi Myers just got shipped off to Jacksonville, baby. And Brock Bowers can't catch everything. Salute to Trey Tucker. Three catches. On the other side of the ball, we got Courtland Sutton. Three catches tonight. He will have those three. You got to know. Also, next leg, Brock Bowers. Five receptions for Brock Bowers tonight. One of a die.
He just said he couldn't catch everything.
He can, but he can catch five. Next leg, we're going with my brother Troy Franklin, Bo Nicks College teammate for four receptions tonight. And because I love My brother, I'm going to stick with his yards as well. He's going to go over 40 yards as well. And the last leg, the most important leg for all of this to come together, Bo Nicks, over 218 yards, passing through the air tonight. Lock it in. Where were you on the biggest Thursday Thunder ever? You were locking it in, and you can tell your grandkids about this one of the night, baby.
I remember when Juju Gatti told me to lock in the greatest Thursday Thunder ever. It was 2,125. I was but 12 years old. Juju, lot of happening in the NBA over the last 24 hours, but you have breaking news for us.
Oh, yeah. Breaking news out of the NBA. Lebron James just heard Zaz on that last segment, and he said he has been cleared for contact activities.
Of course. His plan has completely backfired. If he continues to sit out, they're going to have the best start in Laker history before you know it.
Who created them? Zaz, does he make them better or worse?
Can you be much better than 7 and 2?
9 and 0. Yeah.
That's a good one, Tony.
You don't know how to do math. Just trying to tell you.
Juju, I saw last night that Russell Westbrook called himself the best rebounding guard of all time.
Yeah, I love Russ. Russ is one of my favorite players. He gets a bad rap for his attitude sometimes, but his motor, he still got the same motor. It's unbelievable that he was a free agent, what, a couple of weeks before the season started. The Kings got the light to beam last night against a depleted warrior team. Everybody's sick.
Steph Curry was sick.
Right. I'll be thinking about that sometimes, too. If it's an NBA player or an NFL player with a common code, stay out of the locker room, bro. Don't be getting on Draymond. Now, Draymond out with a sweatsuit on.
It's interesting that the three guys who were sick, Butler, Curry, Draymond. It's really interesting.
No one else. Butler was a lower back contusion. But Curry was sick in the Phoenix game.
I mean, is it a crazy thing for Westbrook to claim that he's the best rebounding guard ever?
Is it crazy? It's not crazy, but it's also... I mean, I don't know, man. I feel like Who would like a word? Oscar Robertson would like a word.
But how tall was Oscar?
6'4, 6'5.
I mean, Westbrook's what? 6'1, 6'2?
6'2, 6'3. He's about that.
Jason Kidd.
Jason Kidd would like a word.
Did Jason Kidd have years where he was averaging double-digit rebounds?
Jason Kidd played in the era where bigs were bigs, man.
Rondo, randomly, was awesome at it.
Long arms, man. I mean, he's up there. It's not crazy to put him in that conversation. Yeah, I don't think it's crazy. But the unequivocal is on the best rebounding guard of all time. Magic Johnson was 6'9. Let's not forget that. Graving a lot of boards.
What's he ever done? Salute to Will Richard from the Warriors last night. Ricky Will Richard, stepped up with a big performance, even in the last, a Florida Gator alumni like yourself, Zaz. Salute to the boy. That's right.
Quitten post up.
Yes, sir. How about the-Go ahead, bro.
No, I was going to say, How about them Blazers, man? I was on the radio yesterday, and I was talking about this is going to be a hard game for Oklahoma City for a couple of reasons. Number one, it was a back to back. But number two, it was OKC at Portland, and everyone in the know knows when you have that game, you have a bunch of people from Seattle who drive down I-5 to come wearing Sonic and just talk shit to the Blazers, to the Thunder. They don't root for the Blazers. They just go to talk shit to the Thunder because that's their team.
Right. And Tiago Splitter got them boys playing good ball. They was down 22 points in that game. Could have patted in at any point. Kept fighting. Salute the two-minded Kamara. Salute the Clingon. Salute to the whole squad. They all been hooping up there. I think that Chauncey Billups, that was a major era, what you got going on, because that team is actually ready right now. I'm not saying they're ready to be a contender, but the Blazers that you know from the last couple of years, these ain't them saying Blazers. And Damian Lillard, what in the hell is you eating, drinking, bro, out on the court doing drills after a pop ACL Achilles. Same with Jason Tatum. Same with Tyrese Halliburton. What is happening in modern medicine that E-boys are already down on the verge of being back?
Salute. Juju, how do you feel about Mike Ryan's theory that Tiago Splitter was the anonymous voice on Pablo's podcast.
I like that.
It makes sense. This is pretty damning, Juju. It's pretty damning.
Hell, yeah, bro. Look, I hadn't even thought about Tiago Splitter until now, and he just stepped in and reaped all the rewards and benefits. So I don't know. Mike Ryan finds out. I'm not there.
Draymond Green, on his show, he likes it. By the way, he posted a video the other day where he's Why are you wearing medical scrubs. I'm like, What's happening here? But he didn't ever refer to it. He was just talking about like, Oh, yeah, man, if Steve Kerr goes, I'm going to go, too, because I couldn't play for anyone else. I'm like, Why are you wearing medical scrubs?
Look, Draymond has always been Draymine. Salute to Dray mind. But I think he crossed the line when he called Dak Prescott a bomb. And with the conviction on his face, he kept leaning into it. Salute to Jordan. Why? Because he hasn't won the big one. I think that we have to come up with different words because some words don't mean what we think. Like you all said earlier, I don't think he knows what bum means because Dak Prescott got the highest contract in the NFL, and he's pretty successful.
I wish He doesn't want to be a bum like that.
It's just weird to me. The NBA player loves talking about how the media is disrespectful, the way that you criticize guys, this, that, blah, blah, blah. And Draymond Green is going out there calling Dak Prescott a bum. And by all accounts, Dak Prescott is a pretty good quarterback. But even if he were a bum on the other side, the NBA player loves being critical of how the media covers their players.
Bro, I didn't even think of it that way. That's a good point, bro. He's supposed to be the new media and all of this. You're going for the same old tricks that the other boys, the old media was making. So yeah, I think he's fired for that because he ain't a bum. Now, he can't win the big one. We can say that, but bum never.
Juju, explain to me this deal with the fan in Memphis. I don't understand the story at all.
Bro, that's the most hilarious thing I saw last night, bro. I was watching the Memphis game, and the Memphis game, I forgot who they're playing. Who was Memphis playing last night? They played Houston. Houston Rockets.
Houston Rockets.
Yeah, Houston Rockets. And during one of the timeouts, they were having a Price is Right competition, and a fan out of nowhere had it. They're playing Plinko? Hopefully. But a fan had the most hilarious sign, and I was like, What is the motivation behind this sign. Video team, do we got the picture of that or the video?
What? Investigate Lou Dort?
I just saw a video from that game, and it was Kevin Durant talking crap to Ja Moran's dad. He's like, Your son doesn't even want to be out here. Enjoy your last weekend.
Hold on. First of all, let's investigate Lou Dort. What are we doing?
What grounds?
This is the second one. I sent another video with it. I don't think I sent it wrong. It must have been my fault for sure. We got the video right here. Here we go. This is from last night.
Suspend Lou Dork?
Why are we suspending him?
Bro, Pablo Torres, please find this brother because he might be the first to know something that we might need to know. You did. Because if somebody would have came up to us a month ago and said, Hey, you know about that Chauncey Billups? We'd have been like, Yeah, a champion, an upstanding guy.
Hall of Famer.
I'd have been like, Yeah, he shouldn't be in the Hall of Famer.
He's a Hall of Famer, man. He stopped being disrespectful.
Yeah, we got to find that brother and ask him, Why should we investigate my brother, Lou Gensler? He had multiple signs. Multiple signs on multiple games.
He's passionate about it.
But not when the Thunder in town.
No, him when that smoked.
What happened with Katie and T. Morant?
Yeah, they got into it on the side, like Mike saying, You know how Tee Morant, they just poke fun at folks every game. Take it away, Mike. What you thought about it, bro?
We're flirt with the Steve Martin here also. I explained the goddamn thing I didn't know if he had more. I didn't know if he had more. Yeah, he was just talking crap during a free throw to Ja's dad saying, Your son doesn't even want to be here. Enjoy your last weekend. C. Morton also said that. Okay.
Right. Free 12sky right now for sure. I think it's time for him to get up out of there. Free TA, too. Exactly. Especially after that move, how they fired Chris Jenkins last year, right for the playouts. Taylor Jenkins. Taylor Jenkins. His brother named Chris, though.
$2 goes to me. Can you believe this guy mixing up names like that, Zaz? It's crazy.
I know. He's just that full.
Oh, my God. Yo, we should put that on the poll. Can you tell the difference between Cardi B and Michael Stein?
We're not even going to touch on that one. Salute Zaz.
Sealing the polls.
You agree with me? You do.
Not this time, brother. You know I got you back. If anybody touch you, I got you back. Salute to Cardi B.
You got any polls for us, Juju?
Yes, sir. Also, to remind everybody, the pitch clock is up next, and it's fantastic. Fantastic. It already happened. It already happened. It already happened.
Steve Martin.
Steve Martin.
Rewind this. You may get some fun money this week.
You may get some fun money this week.
It show for Steve Martin.
Perpetuity. Let me just get to this damn poll. Can you name one member of Duran Duran? 83% of the audience says, No, they can't. And that's your poll from today.
Simon Libone.
Thank you, Juju.
I don't think Troy Franklin's your brother. I'm going to investigate this one, but I... Investigation ongoing, but I don't think you're related.
My mama's side. My mama's side.
Yo mama.
"I don't think Troy Franklin is your brother."
