Transcript
Yo. What up, Rook? Welcome to the NBA. We're going to Memphis tonight. We got insider access to their game plan, so I think we're a step ahead. Let's see. What do we got? Oh, yeah. Tony Allen's face guarding you for forty eight minutes. Have fun, buddy. Don't forget, buddy. Fourth quarter in Best, boys. Time to bring it home. Hey, Josh. Get at the bench and get in the game. No match up rank prime Isaiah Thomas. Go get him. Oh my good. Oh. Shake it off, Runkus. I'm on the next. We're going to Houston tonight. It's time to prove yourself. Go get on an island with prime James Harden for four straight quarters. Place him up tight, pal.
