FIRST THINGS FIRST | Nick picks last night’s top NBA performers: #1 SGA #2 Ja Morant #3 Cunningham

My second favorite player got a tweet from you and now in the show twice tell him about it we don’t do enough basketball right now to have this much Dylan Brooks content the last time he was in the show he was hitting people the gr again put it in the show four

Times if we run it okay all right metal stand just won they didn’t even win metal stand listen I understand they lost 27 in a row but Cade played his tail off last night tried to bring them back tried to get them a win I feel

Terribly for the well for him and maybe a couple of the other players 419 and five give him a medal as the Pistons are one of the worst teams in modern NBA history silver medal J 31471 mildly controversial celebration but who really cares as the Grizzlies

Win again with it’s now six in a row I think since J came back well 4 and0 or 4 and0 but 4 and0 since since J came back and then the gold medal from last night Shay 346 and N that first team all NBA guard spot not too early to start

Thinking about too many excellent candidates Steph might be on the outside looking in Luke has got to have one Shay halberton really tough there’s the metal stand from last night Thunder should go for L and Sh L I don’t know who Thunder could add but they could go for it KD

Wow that works going for tomorrow a block you got a bunch of picks are sitting on Yeah tomorrow’s a block tune in uh MVP Josh maybe according to Aaron Rogers telling Pat MCA if they finish the last two and win out and if Miami loses the next one the week 18 is going

To be for the division if Josh has eight touchdowns the last two weeks and finishes with 48 combined touchdowns how do you not put him in the conversation I thought this was Coen analysis for the record I have a Graphic here NFL MVP last 10 years you either have to be a

Number one or a number two seed to win the MVP Bill’s currently in six and this is also a graphic of quarterback wins the the thing is this that scenario that Rogers laid out they’d be the two seed okay so that works so the as a quarterback well listen I Rogers laid

Out a lot of ifs there if they went out Miami loses to Baltimore this week and he has eight touchdowns over next two weeks check check check if you do all those things the the problem is the guy who’s leading he needs Miami to lose to Baltimore which almost assuredly would

Mean Lamar plays really well in that game you know what I mean and so then how is Lamar going to fall off I I don’t I don’t have a problem with Josh being MVP adjacent I don’t because he is the bus driver of that team for good or for

He does he needs Tua and Lamar to really struggle over the next few weeks but look this this is an odd year it’s nine quarterbacks are right there in the running mcaffry and Hill uh Mr Irrelevant was leading it at one point um the versus the 49ers was a battle of

Two tough physical teams but after the game Patrick Queen basically said sure about that sure about that here was post game we play a brand of football that people don’t want to play um everybody want to be out here cute playing basketball on grass and stuff and we a’t

With all that so you can do all that stuff you just going hit in the mouth every play honestly um you know we can care less about all the pretty stuff we do gimmick stuff you just got line you still got to line to play football you

Still got to get touched so um that’s our mindset that’s how we want to come out and just you know hit people in the mouth what about to turn this table over holy cow play basketball on grass if I if I was playing I’d be a

Raven I mean me me and Patrick we are like this we are what he said was essentially the break dancers what he said was essentially like me calling the Dolphins some break danc he said it’s the whole league here’s the only place I disagree with what he said oh my

Gosh the AFC North is full of teams like the Ravens I mean look the the ner and I think the ners and the Eagles are tough teams and I think Dallas is not soft I think they got a little toughness I think Miami now is tough but in the AFC

North Man the Niners are one and3 against AFC North think about that and and heck the Ravens have lost what three of their three two two of their losses two of their three losses in the division like if if you took Lamar and put him in Cleveland they would be where

The Ravens are if you took Lamar and put him in Pittsburgh they would be where the Ravens are that I mean those teams are tough the the uh Bengals I don’t think that L but yeah they’re different type but that division is no J so yeah

The only thing Greg I disagree with is I think the ners absolutely want to play that bring a football the ners to me have not only a tough defense but they have one of the most physical toughest offenes in the entire their line isn’t their line isn’t great but it doesn’t

Mean they’re not tough guys and they have one of the greatest left tackles ever and they have in my opinion the two not the one the two most physical receivers in football okay but you don’t think this was after the 49ers game and I don’t know the question that was asked

Most physical as far as blocking yeah I do think that but you don’t think this was this was a and it may not have been I didn’t see the full context beyond that quote you don’t think this was about the 49 after the 49 you overlook the ners line you talk about everybody

Being great they got one of the bottom 10 offensive lines in the league and understand that Pro Football Focus ranks them around there I disagree with that but the regard l i dis even if that’s what he’s saying I’m simply saying I think Patrick Queen is wrong about the

Ners I don’t think they are a team that he just he was talking about scheme and being and he just blasted him I got it I I I can disagree with his opinion of it okay go ahead so like for me number one I love it I know Ray Lewis and Ed

Reed like yeah that’s all Ed to come through but this is what what you’re talking about like across the league as as a player like the one division that knew played a different style of football which was physical with a capital P like was the AFC North and

When you are in the NFC there’s a team that we feel like oh man they play more a little more physical than everybody else that’s the 49ers they flat out went there punched them in the mouth and said we’ll get back on the flight and come go back home their brand of football

Travels all the teams that we’ve been talking about all year the Dallas Cowboys the Eagles all the dolphins all these teams that we talk about it’s like but does your style of football travel with you the Ravens and what Patrick Queen is saying is it doesn’t matter where we

Play when we play if we got helmets shoulder pad lines and a football strap it up we going to bring what we always bring yeah that’s right no I I agree with that you got him in the playoffs yet oh my gosh I’m just saying did you

Predict them make why is he I’m trying to remember did you you and Nick Nick did you pick him to make the playoff Lamar’s Lamar’s a front runner for MVP they’re they’re did you pick them the playoff no I had the Ravens out I was wrong there

Brew we Brew that’s why I’m glad for the first segment of the show cuz you needed that W that’s why I love I love listen you know what I’m glad club we have mus when I hear Patrick Queen say that cu the Ravens right now you just saw where

The committee had them the tear they’re the top they right now are the deserv a team to beat I’m glad that I’m a fan of a Smashmouth physical defensive oriented football team that’s what I’m glad cuz that’s what it seems like get those fields and you you clearly would be a

Cowboy we see you every single time on the show
