00:00LaMelo Ball, who had a great night, damn near a triple-double with 30 points.
00:03He did not have a great night.
00:04Ah, had a great night, by the way.
00:05He played like garbage in that game.
00:06Had a great night.
00:07He played terribly.
00:08Carried the Hornets to an overtime win.
00:09No, he did.
00:10He was the third-best player on his own team.
00:12They're now one win away from actually being a playoff team, if I may.
00:16But no one's talking about LaMelo Ball's beautiful performance last night.
00:20He did play well.
00:21As a basketball player.
00:22Good.
00:22But they are talking about the fact that he grabbed Bam out of Bayou's foot.
00:26Very reminiscent of Jarrell Embiid's dirty tricks.
00:28Far worse.
00:29Against the New York Knicks and many others.
00:31Because he wasn't coming down until he reached for.
00:33Okay.
00:34And Bam out of Bayou did not come back into that game.
00:36This was in the second quarter that happened.
00:38We wound up going to overtime.
00:40Some questionable coaching decisions late in that game as well.
00:43But congratulations to the Charlotte Hornets and one of the best guards in all of basketball
00:48who was brilliant last night, LaMelo Ball.
00:51While Connipa was a no-show last night, LaMelo Ball led the Hornets to,
00:55it doesn't count as a playoff win, but they're one game away now from actually being a playoff team
01:01and getting swept in the first round.
01:04He was two for 16 from three.
01:07Uh-huh.
01:07From three?
01:08Yeah.
01:08Three is not the only aspect of the game?
01:10He was 12 of 31 overall.
01:12He had over 30 points last night.
01:13Yeah, or 31 shots.
01:14And check out his assists and his rebounds.
01:16Yeah.
01:17He had five.
01:17He had a triple-double.
01:18No, he did five rebounds.
01:19That's right.
01:20It's five away from a triple-double.
01:21He did no more.
01:22Yeah, guy was money last night.
01:23Last night's game was competitive.
01:26Very competitive.
01:27When it's overtime.
01:28And it was exciting late.
01:29Except for the fact that I missed 30 seconds of a late possession.
01:32Yeah, because of her.
01:33Because Prime decided to cut out a, I don't know, it's one of those things like, it's
01:38an edge-of-your-seat game.
01:39Yeah.
01:40Back and forth, back and forth.
01:41I thought when the Hornets went on five with under 30 seconds to go.
01:46It's over.
01:46It was a wrap.
01:47Uh-huh.
01:47But then you get the crazy three-pointer from Tyler Hero, and then some fouls and free
01:52throws, et cetera, et cetera.
01:53But I'm watching the game like you are, because I'm a basketball fan, and then all of a sudden
01:58my Prime goes out.
01:59And I'm sitting here going, I'll give it 10 seconds.
02:0210 seconds is about my wiggle room when something goes out.
02:06Yeah.
02:06And then, you know, you check your own TV.
02:08Is it my TV?
02:09Did it go out?
02:10Then I turned the power off by mistake.
02:12Then I turned the power back on.
02:14Then I got to log back into Amazon last night.
02:17No basketball.
02:19And it was out for like two full minutes.
02:21We lost about 20 seconds of game time.
02:24So essentially one possession.
02:26But did yours go out?
02:27Now on my iPad.
02:29Because mine went out.
02:30On my iPad, it didn't.
02:31So on TV it did?
02:33I believe it went on all the TV.
02:35Yeah.
02:35I'm trying to watch this game.
02:37I'm like, what the F's going on, Amazon?
02:39I paid my bill.
02:40I got two-day shipping for free.
02:42Yeah.
02:42Matter of fact, I got another death whistle coming in the mail today.
02:47A death whistle?
02:48Yeah.
02:48Oh, I never let you hear the death whistle?
02:50No.
02:51Well, you know, we probably shouldn't play on the air.
02:52Yeah, I'm going to get it.
02:53You talk about how great Miller was.
02:55Okay.
02:55Now, the bigger part of the LaMelo Ball story isn't his play at all.
03:00It was his blatant, dirty play.
03:02Yeah.
03:03That took back.
03:03Which you know all about.
03:04No, I know nothing about that.
03:06That took Bam Adebayo out of the game in the second quarter never to return.
03:10Correct.
03:10Now, maybe the Hornets still win and it doesn't matter, but he is the Heat's best player.
03:17Talking about Bam Adebayo.
03:18And more importantly, their best defensive player.
03:21Some of those possessions late where they were getting rim runs don't happen necessarily.
03:26So, the picture you're looking at right there, that's in the second quarter.
03:29LaMelo Ball's on the ground there.
03:31He's got his left hand around the back, the heel essentially, of Bam Adebayo.
03:36And then he kind of sweeps that left hand forward, like you've seen in a karate movie kind of thing.
03:42Yeah, yeah.
03:42And he gets that foot off the ground because Bam's other foot's off the ground.
03:46Bam falls down very hard on his coccyx.
03:49Uh-huh.
03:49Coccyx?
03:50That's right.
03:51Coccyx bone.
03:52That's right.
03:52Which is like the smaller of your back.
03:54Right.
03:54Now, I think he's soft not coming back personally.
03:57But you don't know the injury yet.
03:58Like, memo to Bam Adebayo.
03:59When you're scoring 83 points in a frigaze game, all of a sudden we can't get you off the court.
04:04But here you are in a playing game with a chance to extend your season, which is now over, by
04:10the way.
04:10And you can't get your ass back in the game?
04:13You don't know the injury yet.
04:14You can't rub some Tiger Bomb on that back?
04:16You don't know the injury yet.
04:17You can't take some penicillin?
04:18You can't be used to do anyway.
04:18You can't believe in the injury.
