Eastern Conference. Who's making moves?

right now. Who are you happy with? Man, with my Celtics dumping like none other right now, we signing Peter and Paul these days. I don't know what's going on. I think the New York Knickerbockers might be in

in position to be the best Eastern team next year. They signed Yabu Sele, who had the Olympic dunk over LeBron, and they signed Jordan Clarkson to add to the roster they had already. Could you imagine if they only had a

coach you feel me Tony I think they're gonna make noise I am poopooing this and and Juju's my brother and we have a lot of good basketball conversations I think the answer is over his left shoulder again different team but in the same city Atlanta Hawks did a lot of great things in a very weak Eastern Conference I

To me, it feels like the Hawks might be the best team in the East, and they haven't played together with all of these different pieces. Nikhil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kunar, Trey Young, Jalen Johnson coming back next year. Reese's Shake came online last year pretty good towards the end. Porzingis, Okongwu, like, they've got players on that team, Jew.

Yeah, you're right. I can't argue with that. My only argument against that is when you live in Atlanta, you always expect something to go wrong. They can have LeBron and everybody, but something is going to go wrong. I don't know. I'm not predicting it. I don't want to put that on wax, but you're right. Atlanta looks great on paper with Porzingis, but...

I said Atlanta Hawks. I know, I know. But on paper, that's what we're playing in July, right? We don't play on wood. We play on paper right now. And it feels like the Hawks are really good. Zaz, I don't know if you saw something in Eastern Conference better than what the Hawks have done. No, I like what the Hawks are doing. Porzingis, Nikhil, Alexander, Walker, they're going for it. I mean, I can't say as much about the Heat. I know everybody loves what the Hawks are doing right now. I think so far, you know, except for the obvious one, which is Kevin Durant going to Houston, I really like what the Nuggets have done.

right? They bring back Bruce Brown, who killed the Heat in the finals in 23. Michael Porter Jr. stinks. Cam Johnson is a nice player. I like Cam Johnson over Michael Porter Jr. They also brought in some shooting with Tim Hardaway Jr., so...

Juju, I love what the Nuggets have done. I know it's the West, but I like what they're doing. Yeah, exactly. Because like you say, MPJ gave them nothing in the playoffs. Russell Westbrook was the Super Mario question mark. What are you going to get from him? Are you going to get a turtle shell? Are you going to get invincible, man? So, yeah, with them adding those core players to put beside the Joker, barring injury, dare I say, they might be the ones coming out of the West next year.

And what I like, too, is that they were able to get underneath the tax. They were worried about that. And I think that's where Kroenke was like, yeah, we might have to trade 15 at some point if the tax gets to that level, when now it's not. They also get Jonas Valanciunas, who's going to be a big get for them on a center where you don't have those Jokic, non-Jokic minutes were so tough for them down the stretch that it's like, how do we get another center to still play big? Jonas Valanciunas is that guy. Timmy Hardaway giving them shooting. Yeah.

It feels like they let go of Michael Porter Jr. and brought in three or four guys to replace them, and hopefully their young guys step up. But this is a really good core of veterans that can play in playoff games. Juju, what did you make of Sophie Cunningham yesterday in the WNBA? Very critical about the cities that they're choosing to expand WNBA in. I feel like...

That league is weird sometimes, man. I've never heard a player in one of our major sports who talks about there shouldn't be teams in specific cities. Yeah, I think she needs to do her history, do her Googles, because the last couple of sellouts, the best attendance record ever in the WNBA came from the Detroit Shockers. And I think that

I mean, moving forward, I don't see why that city wouldn't clamor for another team. They don't necessarily have a lot going on. You see the Pistons always selling out. You feel me? So I think that some of the new players, this is like sometimes we got to do our histories on on hip hop and the Beach Boys and see what they actually meant to the people. I think that the Detroit will be a great addition to the people. I think they they will definitely sell out.

Juju, what did you make of Coco Gauff yesterday? Oh, man. Before we move to Coco Gauff, that was a great transition. I got to give some credit, though, to Sophie Cunningham and those Indiana Fever. They won the Commissioner's Cup last night without Kaitlyn Clark.

tough day for the Angel Reese and Indiana Fever are nothing without Kaitlyn Clark haters like the Natasha Howard MVP stepped up 16 big points, 12 rebounds. Aaliyah Boston, 12 points. A couple of 13, 14 rebounds.

But one of the biggest mid-season acquisitions that's flying under the radar, Aerie McDonald. Aerie McDonald has came into that team and has been the leader, like stepped in for Kaitlin, distributing what Tyrese Halliburton is for the Pacers. Aerie has stepped into that role, and they got a big dub last night against pretty much the favorites to win the championship this year, the Minnesota Lynx.

terrible night for Lil Feezy and Nafisa Collier. I think she went like two, what was the stats? Six for 18 last night. Kayla McBride, one for seven. The bridge is over. Zero points. Bridget Carlson. Oh, man, but great, great win for the Indiana Fever last night. Commissioner Cup champs. Give me some thoughts here on Coco. What happened to her? Yeah, man. I mean, we praise Coco when she do good. So we got to talk about

her blunder yesterday at Wimbledon. Maybe she was just riding that championship high. I'm not sure, but she went out in the first round yesterday in Wimbledon against, I got to read her name, Diana Yashimska. Nailed it. Never heard of her, but now she put her name on the map and beat the number two player in the world in Cocoa Golfing.

Wimbledon shaping up to be an interesting one on that women's side. Jeremy, you got a start of the day for us here? Ooh, I do. Start of the day, start of the day. This is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day. This is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day. This is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day. This is the start of the day.

Stat of the Day brought to you by Miller Lite. On June 29th,

An MLB player became the ninth player ever to be intentionally walked four times in one game. Barry Bonds did that four times in his career. This is the first time since Barry Bonds. Any of you want to guess who the player was? Man. Yes, it was a man. I have no idea. One of the Negros.

James Wood of the Washington Nationals, who is having a remarkable season for the Nationals. He is an unbelievable hitter, and he's being treated as such. Intentionally walked four times in one game. Who's batting after him? That must be a bad hitter.

They're not a very good team. Was he intentionally walked at all with the bases loaded like Bonds used to get? I do not believe that that happened in this game, but I will go back and check each of these at-bats, and by the end of this postgame show, I will have that. Has there ever been more of a sign of respect than walking a hitter when the bases are loaded?

Right. Ultimate respect. That's the ultimate respect. You got some polls for us? Let's update the polls for today, Juju. Come on. Oh, man, I got some polls, but I got one thing to get off my chest. Love Island. Oh, my damn. Last night was one of the greatest shows in Love Island this season. It showed the true colors of Shelly...

Olandria showed her ass and Sierra out of nowhere. Like, come on. I want to give them the goofy of the day. Sierra, Olandria and Chelly. You guys are the goofballs of the day for your opinions in that truth ceremony last night. Totally uncalled for ganging up on my sister. What else can she do? She's sorry. Neither here nor there. He's had a rough night to Juju. Poor Ace. He's going after people left and right for some reason.

And Amaya has become America's sweetheart now just because of the pounding she was taking yesterday. Right. Austin. Right. Because Austin showed up out of nowhere. Austin was all quiet whenever he was with her. Right. Now you want to get in front of everybody and voice your griefs with Amaya. How about be a man and tell her how you felt when you was in a couple with her? That was totally lowball from him. Big night for Chris, though. Chris really stepped up yesterday.

Yes, sir, he did. Chris and the other guy who we forgot. I think his name's Brian. That was with Andreina, but no one talks about him. Billy, I'm late to this Love Island game, but you've said that the games are useless, and I disagree. They are not useless. It's for you to make out with somebody that you've been wanting to make out with when you're in a couple. No, yeah, no, but there's no winners or losers. There's point systems and whatever, but there's no prize. But a lot of drama comes through, because you guys are always saying, I skipped through the games.

No, no, no one skips through the games. I think Rose said that she skips. It's like, no, you don't skip through the game. You see who's making out with who. No, yesterday's game was seriously just here's a piece of paper and honestly talk shit about people and then make them stand in front of everyone and read it out loud. And then maybe you'll claim it. Maybe you won't. But then other people will jump in and just start piling on and gaslight and scream at people and tell them what pieces of crap they are. Yesterday was like the most...

toxic episode. I don't like call things like toxic often, but you're like, yes, there was like the most, let's just be all terrible people to each other for no reason. Right, bro. And salute to my brother Pepe, because I would, he turned down old girl Adrena. He kept it real and turned down the, the pretty much one of the bombshells. So salute to Pepe for keeping it real, telling his new girl that it may not be working. Cause he still got his heart on Hannah.

But he could have said it a little earlier before the challenge. Neither here nor there. Can I ask you a question about Pepe from last night? So last night they wrote anonymous notes to each other, and the point was to kind of clear the air, I guess, but it was really just to get everyone to fight. I think that Pepe wrote a note to himself asking himself to break up with the girl publicly because no one was going to do it. Because we never got to the bottom of who wrote the letter. He's like, you got to choose, Pepe. Do you still like the other girl? He's like...

I do. It's like, I think you wrote this to yourself as a cop out. Bruh, I think that is a dookie bomb because I didn't even think of it from that. Kevin was trying to find a way out of that. I think he gave it to himself.

Right, right. And he did not have accountability. Speaking of accountability, I'm going to give a little unsolicited advice to my brother, Tony. You got to stop saying you're going to kick everyone's ass in the building. Because if you can't imagine if I said that the Miami PD will be called expeditiously. Neither here nor there. First poll. Best heat shooter of all time. Duncan Robinson or Ray Allen?

79% of the audience says Ray Allen. Wow. Obvious. Can you leave a funeral blasting loud music? 57% of the audience says no, you cannot. Who are the 43% that think it's okay? Partiers. That's who they are. I just did something really sad. Can I not make myself feel a little better on the way out? Can we wait till we pull out of the funeral home? That's fair.

Right. Maybe you can blast boys to men, something like that, end of the road. But yeah, Beast Boy seems a bit on the line. That's kind of inappropriate too. Just blast an end of the road. Someone just died. I feel like Zazz, you would appreciate me blasting a Pearl Jam if you died. Well, yeah, because I think just everybody knows, oh man, Zazzle would totally approve of this. I think that's fine.

Would you be embarrassed if you had to call your mother-in-law to fix your flat tire? Oh, man. 94% of the audience says yes, they would. Yeah, that's a disgrace if you got to do that.

Are you grotesquely fascinated by the 2025 Dolphins? 73% of the audience says no, they are not. Is every player in basketball a free agent while under contract? 88% of the audience says yes, they are. Do you assume that Manny Ramirez will still be in a batting cage at 100 years old?

89% of the audience says, yes, he will be. Should Mission Impossible be called Mission Kinda Impossible? 88% of the audience says, yes, it should. Is the best thing in the world opening a can of Pringles and discovering that none of them have been broken? 78% of the audience says, yes, it is.

And the last poll, when Zaslow speaks, does it rattle around in your brain? 65% of the audience says yes, it does. And those are your polls. Good job, Juju. Thank you, guys.
