Introduction to The Post-Up
00:00:00
Speaker
What's going on, y'all? It's DJ Treesy Trees, but you already know me. Welcome back to my channel. I am coming to you with a brand new episode of The Post-Up, my place where I just post up and talk about all the stuff that's going on in the world of basketball in a less organized fashion. As y'all know, I have a show with the Sparks.
00:00:19
Speaker
So I do a lot of organized things and I drop a lot of shorts, but there's not really a place where I'll talk about all of them together. So today I just felt so inclined to jump on here and talk about this, because I got a lot going on. First,
Jamal Murray and the Timberwolves' Performance
00:00:31
Speaker
I'm going to talk about the Jamal Murray situation from the finals, and then I'm going to give you my predictions, all right? So the first thing for y'all that didn't catch the game last night, Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets, the reigning champs, are getting rolled over, OK?
00:00:46
Speaker
The Timberwolves came out hot and heavy. The young guys got a lot to prove. They got a lot of momentum. They were without Rudy Gobert because he was witnessing the birth of his first child. So nobody expected Denver to get blown out at home for the second game. And they already lost the first game. So now the Timberwolves are up 2-0 in the series. And Jamal Murray was very, very much
00:01:13
Speaker
So bothered on the bench. And as a Lakers fan, it makes me extremely happy, right? This is the guy that showed up, showed out, you know, is playing like Kobe in the final seconds of each game for the Lakers, using up all his XP points. You feel me? All his XP points, just shooting threes, being defensive, being aggressive, everything. And now here he is losing.
00:01:36
Speaker
And what does he have a temper tantrum? Yeah, he throws a towel and a heating pad onto the court. I'm not lying. He threw two things onto the court and I for sure thought, Oh my goodness, they're going to be without your mom Murray for the game three and game four.
00:01:52
Speaker
or at least game three. Hell, put him in timeout and just take 30 minutes off his game or something. But
Jamal Murray's Fine and Comparisons to James Harden
00:01:58
Speaker
no, they fined him $100,000. And for reference, y'all, James Harden last year when he said Darryl Morey is a liar and he wanted to be traded from the Sixers, he was fined that same fine, $100,000 for publicly saying he wanted to be traded. Jamal Murray threw two things onto the court
00:02:19
Speaker
and receive that same fine. If I threw two things in the court at the Denver game, I would be banned from NBA games from life. Now, of course, of course, I don't play there and I'm not an employee of the NBA, but it seems a little bit ridiculous to me that he would only get a $100,000 fine
00:02:38
Speaker
for having a temper tantrum and throwing things. It was on the court while, while it was being played. The first, the first thing he threw was I believe the towel and the cameraman and all of them got it out the way and move, you know, people throw things. Okay, cool. He threw it onto the court. He's just so mad and frustrated because they getting beat by 30 points. 30 points.
00:03:00
Speaker
Bro, that is just so wild to me that he will be playing again in this next game because if Draymond Green had a, threw a word too hard, he would have got a four game suspension. It's just crazy how we talk about the NBA script and I'm not a believer in the conspiracy theories and all of that, but that is just a blatant
00:03:21
Speaker
overlooking of something that should have been punished highly. Y'all drop in the comments with y'all think about this whole Jamal Murray situation. I'm on fire about it and that's why I went live. It's two basketball games going on right now. The Celtics is playing the Cavaliers, which I'm gonna tell y'all about my predictions and the New York Liberty is playing the Chicago sky.
00:03:41
Speaker
in WNBA preseason. So I got stuff going on and I'm still on here because wow, that just blew my mind. Again, let me know what y'all think. Now let's go into my NBA playoff predictions. Of
NBA Series Predictions: OKC vs. Mavericks and Timberwolves vs. Nuggets
00:03:54
Speaker
course, we're in the conference semifinals at this point, right? So in the West, the first matchup is OKC against the Mavericks. Game one is today. I'm thinking the young guys got a lot of proof, but I never want to count Kyrie out. I'm going to go with OKC.
00:04:11
Speaker
I know I just said I was going to count Kyrie out, but for that same reason, Luca gets, if they can frustrate Luca and make him mad, he makes really terrible emotional decisions and Kyrie is going to have to end up.
00:04:24
Speaker
Carrying the team. Now I could be wrong about this matchup, but I just got to feel it. You feel me? I got a feeling that I'm rooting for the young guys. And OKC is the number one seed in the West. A lot of people who are online were saying that they're a soft one seed. We'll see. I'm thinking they're going to play like a one seed because they didn't got this far and they might as well continue. So in that matchup, I'm picking OKC.
00:04:44
Speaker
Now, the Minnesota Timberwolves versus the Denver Nuggets, this was my prediction before. If you wanna scroll back through my page so you can see on my shorts where I made my predictions, my original prediction was that the Timberwolves were gonna win. And the reason being is because they're hungry. They wanna do it.
00:05:01
Speaker
That's it. It seems like the Denver Nuggets wanna embarrass the Lakers, but don't wanna win another championship as well as Mike Malone jumped on the court in the ref's face last night at the game. He didn't get fouled. I ain't heard nothing about a fine. He didn't get no tech, didn't get thrown out the game. It's just seeming like they're getting so many passes because they are the reigning champs or because the Joker, I mean,
00:05:27
Speaker
He was getting shut out. I'm excited to see the Timberwolves, a Rudy Go Bareless Timberwolves team take the Denver Nuggets there. So I'm thinking Minnesota is going to do it. It's looking like a sweep. I didn't want to say that. No way that OKC in the Mavericks is going to be a sweep. That probably go all the way to a game seven because they'll probably go back and forth, back and forth.
NBA Series Predictions: Celtics vs. Cavaliers and Pacers vs. Knicks
00:05:46
Speaker
Now let's go into the Eastern Conference where the Celtics are playing the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yo.
00:05:52
Speaker
Cleveland doesn't stand a chance. I don't know. Like they played the magic. They had a seven game series. That's great. Donovan Mitchell is amazing. Um, the, the Boston Celtics, if they don't sweep this team is because they weren't playing great. They have all the pieces and everything in that one seed spot as well as they've been performing in the, um, in the postseason. This should be a clean sweep. It's about a halftime right now. Let me actually check the score while I'm talking crap.
00:06:20
Speaker
Well, really I'm not talking crap. I'm just giving my opinion. You feel me? Boston is 71 57. I'm thinking sweep again. That's just me. I'm looking here, but I'm going off the dome. Okay. Spitting from the dome and the final Eastern conference matchup is the Indiana Pacers versus the Knicks. I'm from Indiana, but I ain't no Pacers fan.
00:06:40
Speaker
I'm taking the Knicks all the way. The Knicks took the first game. All the Pacers fans were shocked. And I don't know why it's, it's almost as if they have never seen another game. Indiana is a six seed. New York is playing like a two seed. It would be different if they were sliding and not Jalen Bronson is looking better than ever. Them Villanova boys is, is making a different, they playing in teamwork. Divan Chenzo. You feel me?
00:07:04
Speaker
They are all playing exceptionally well. So I'm gonna go ahead and give that series to New York.
Audience Interaction and Show Engagement

Let me know what your thoughts, who you got for the conference semi-finals here. And we'll talk again next week or later this weekend whenever I feel like getting back on this microphone, but just stay close to my channel. I'm publishing shorts every day.
