Of course the Knicks are going to give me agita.
1:07
They always do. And there's a dunk by Clarkson.
1:10
Well, thank God. All right, we call this all
1:12
righty then. Alrighty then.
1:17
Alrighty, Alrighty, Alrighty then.
1:25
Alrighty then, welcome back to our literary segment.
1:29
This is the one where we go through Errol's articles and
1:32
listen up to some of the comments from the redditors who
1:36
got a chance to read them. If you haven't been following
1:38
along, go to worldwidesportsradio.com and go
1:42
take a look at all of our clips as well as all the great writing
1:44
done by Errol by NR Media himself.
1:47
Nitin Ramachandra's group of stable of excellent writers, as
1:51
well as some of our other writers like John Pagnotta suck.
1:54
My Indo. Many others.
1:58
Sometimes I get in there too. Let's take a look at a really
2:01
cool article Errol wrote last week that we have some comments
2:04
on about the greatest arrows in basketball history.
2:09
Before we get into the Knicks after this segment as they are
2:11
finishing up Game 2 right now in the Garden, let's take a look at
2:16
this article from milkman to Max contracts.
2:19
How one era grabbed the NBA, shook it by the collar, cashed
2:24
every check, took over the world and screamed you're all welcome
2:29
while changing basketball forever.
2:31
After I read an excerpt from this article, Speedy will read
2:34
some of your comments and Errol will react.
2:36
If you want to have your comments read on the air, please
2:39
follow us on the Reddit pages that we are interacting on
2:42
again, New York sports loudmouth NYS sports loudmouth.
2:48
So here we go. Take a look a bunch of great NBA
2:51
players. Let's get one thing straight
2:52
before the basketball historians, TikTok scouts, and
2:56
Couch GM start throwing advanced analytics at my forehead like
3:00
dodgeballs. You cannot compare eras of NBA
3:03
basketball like they're Pokémon cards.
3:06
You can't look that a grainy black and white clip of Bill
3:08
Russell blocking shots in the 5th row and say, yeah, but can
3:12
he guard a step back three? And you can't watch Steph Curry
3:16
pull up from the parking lot and say, yeah, but could he survive
3:19
getting Clothesline in 1989? Different eras, different rules,
3:23
different vibes, different levels of violence, but what can
3:27
you, what you can do, Breakdown each era, respect it, roast it a
3:31
little because that's what we do.
3:33
And then figure out which one didn't just dominate, but change
3:36
the entire DNA of the NBA forever.
3:40
So here's some of the categories.
3:41
Errol has the 1950s, sixties, tall guys, set shots, and one
3:45
absolute alien. The era belonged to two men,
3:48
Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain. The league had 8 to 14 teams.
3:51
No 3 point line, talent pool. Not exactly the same.
3:54
Let's go on to the next one. 1970s, the forgotten error that
3:57
low key changed everything. Moving on to the Magic Bird
4:01
1980's The NBA gets his swagger back, Magic Johnson versus Larry
4:06
Bird. This wasn't just basketball,
4:07
this was cinema. And then we have the Michael
4:11
Jordan 1990s and the global takeover.
4:14
Michael Jordan didn't just dominate, he marketed
4:17
domination. Let's talk numbers. 6
4:19
championships, 6 finals MVPS, 10 scoring titles, career average,
4:23
30.1 points per game. And there's this little brand
4:26
called Air Jordan. Then we got the Kobe, Shaq and
4:30
identity Crisis era, the 2010 to now, the skill era.
4:33
Everybody's nice and it's actually ridiculous.
4:35
Errol, what was your solution? The greatest era, The best era
4:40
talent, surprisingly, and this was a great article because I
4:44
didn't see you saying this. Errol top to bottom is today.
4:48
Why? Skill levels, insane global
4:50
talent pool, advanced training and analytics.
4:54
But I know you're going to come back with this one, the era that
4:56
changed everything, the 19 Geordie 1990s Michael Jordan
5:01
era. Because without that era, no
5:03
global NBA explosion, no billion dollar sneaker culture, no
5:07
player as brand movement, no social media superstar athletes.
5:12
Jordan didn't just dominate defenders, he dominated culture,
5:15
business and the planet. Speedy all.
5:19
Right. I'm going to start with one of
5:20
the more unique ones. This is infatigable prosperity.
5:24
So he was actually comparing the sneakers of different eras
5:27
mainly, but I also mentioned the nutrition recovery methods,
5:30
self-care habits, cryotherapies, etcetera.
5:32
But the sneakers were what he was comparison because they
5:34
weren't a lot of converse Chuck Taylor in the 70s era and the
5:38
early 80s that he thinks a lot of the players that are already
5:40
injury prone today would get hurt if they were playing in
5:42
those. I would agree with him by the
5:44
way. Thank you.
5:46
What is his name? Infatigable and.
5:48
Fatigable, whatever, I'm not going out.
5:51
I would never be able to do that three times.
5:53
But I agree with him. I think first of all the
5:55
sneakers that we have now, there are more injuries now than we've
5:59
ever seen. I've said that that could be
6:01
causing the problems right now with the Achilles and the knee
6:04
injuries that they have. I, I think he's right about
6:06
that. He's coming.
6:07
I think the sneaker and and and the transition of sneakers in
6:10
the 90s was probably the best, but also the 70s they had
6:14
Converse they have, they had all these other brands that were
6:17
trying to transition into the 80s and the 90s.
6:19
So I'd agree with them. All right, this one's more of a
6:21
simple one. Just Master Teacher 123.
6:23
The Knick game has never been more talented than it is right
6:26
now. I would disagree with him.
6:29
I think the talent in the 90s was just as good as the talent
6:31
now. I think the athletic gifts that
6:33
some of these kids have and and the way the NBA has changed with
6:36
the three points and everything like that, it's definitely
6:39
different. But I think the 90s game was
6:42
just so much better than it was what it is right now because of
6:46
Michael Jordan, because of some of the calm Malones and the
6:49
David Robertson's and and those guys in the Patrick Ewings, I
6:52
just thought and Hakeem Olajuwon's that I love to watch
6:55
play. All right, we'll go to this one
6:57
now. MKK 4.
6:59
The 80s era was my favorite as a sports fan.
7:00
No unrestricted free agency until 88 and a softer salary cap
7:04
that built better overall rosters, which is something
7:06
we've heard a lot of. Our guests, our basketball
7:08
guests have said that the 80s were the best overall.
7:10
Pure era. Interesting because there was a
7:12
lot of great players in the 80s. Look at the Celtics the
7:14
dominates. The dominant part of the 80s was
7:17
the Celtics, the Lakers, and early in the 80s and and it just
7:22
to transition right into the Detroit Pistons.
7:25
So I would agree with him. The 80s was definitely one of
7:28
the fun times of basketball, but once it transitioned in the 90s
7:32
and the dominance of the Chicago Bulls, I couldn't stand watching
7:34
the Chicago Bulls because I'm a Knick fan but I I still think
7:37
the 90s was the most dominant. All right, let's go to this one
7:40
with more directed at Michael Jordan.
7:42
This is Life Familiar 5254 short and played in the crackhead era.
7:46
He thinks the 2000s and today's game have much more talent.
7:52
Much more talent. Crackhead era, 2000s today.
7:57
Gay man. I would disagree.
7:59
I figured you would. I would disagree.
8:01
I mean Kobe Bryant was great, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony,
8:06
those times Team Duncan was at a high level that Kawhi Leonard
8:09
came out late, late 2000, I mean early.
8:12
I would say 2006, 2007. I I just disagree.
8:18
All right, and we'll, we'll write it out with this one.
8:21
It was ironic because the the handle name is King James 23 and
8:25
that he's actually taking shots at LeBron.
8:27
Some people just think LeBron is better than MJ and the world is
8:29
full of dumb people. I would agree with you.
8:32
King James I Michael Jordan is on a tower of his own.
8:38
There is no comparison to Michael Jordan.
8:41
For anybody to compare LeBron James to Michael Jordan, it's
8:44
ridiculous. There's nobody.
8:46
Kobe Bryant is not compared to him.
8:48
Nobody could be compared to him. I don't care who comes out of
8:51
the draft this year and it becomes a dominant force.
8:53
Cooper Flag could be the biggest superstar in the NBA in the
8:57
future, He's not Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is on a tower of
9:00
his own. I agree with him.
9:03
All right. And that, ladies and gentlemen,
9:06
is all righty. Then I'm watching this Knick
9:08
game and it's giving me agit again because the Knicks are
9:11
slowly letting the Atlanta Hawks come back into this game because
9:15
they don't play any defense that this is just look at them, the
9:19
passing just it's horrible. It's horrible by the.
9:22
Way it's. Horrible.
9:23
Makes me sick. One day, one day, you'll believe
9:25
me. What?
9:26
Are you talking about? This is going to be a tough
9:29
series. You slept.
9:32
We're going to blow. Tough series.
9:34
Tough series. They're going to win.
9:36
They're going to win four games. They're going to win four games
9:38
to one. I've already told you that.
9:41
What did you say that? What?
9:42
Because they're going to win tonight.
9:43
No, no. When did you say so?
9:45
We can go back. I said that the Knicks were
9:47
going to win four games to 1. I, I said it could go to, it
9:49
could go 6, but I think no later than 4 to 1.
9:52
I I think the Knicks are going to beat them 4 to 1.
9:54
OK. And did that do your job all?
9:55
Right, all right. The Knicks won game one on
9:58
Saturday, 113 to one O 2 to take a one nothing series lead over
10:04
the Hawks. Jalen Bronson led the Knicks
10:06
with 28 points and seven assists, with 19 of those points
10:10
coming in the first quarter. Carl Anthony Towns also had 25
10:14
points, 8 rebounds and four assists, including going 10 for
10:18
10 from the free throw line. After the Hawks tied the game
10:22
early in the third quarter, the Knicks led the game for the rest
10:27
of the way. Despite the Hawks getting it to
10:30
within four points on many occasions.
10:33
The Knicks pulled away with fourth with four and 4 1/2
10:39
minutes left of the fourth quarter with Cat making 33
10:44
pointers Transition. So, all right, the first game to
10:54
me watching the New York Knicks is the Carl Anthony Towns
10:58
disappears. He doesn't.
11:00
He didn't play very well in the first half.
11:03
He had two fouls. He had 4/4 giveaways.
11:07
He didn't play at a high level. The second-half he started to
11:11
take over. They started to get feed him the
11:13
ball. He was becoming the number one
11:15
option when he disappears and it's Jalen Brunson isolation.
11:20
This is where this team does not play at a high level.
11:22
You need to get Karl Anthony Towns more involved in the game.
11:25
If they're going to win the NBA championship this year, Karl
11:30
Anthony Towns needs to be, he needs to be Robin.
11:34
If, if Jalen Bronson is Batman, he needs to be everything.
11:38
And I honestly think they need 2 Batman's.
11:40
They need Karl Anthony Towns giving you 25 to 27 points, give
11:44
you 12 rebounds, be dominant and play defense.
11:47
By the way, Karl Anthony Towns played his best defensive game
11:50
all season long in game #1 if he plays like that, the Knicks are
11:54
going to be very, very hard to beat.
11:56
They just are because when Carl actually puts the time into
12:01
seeing the picks and and the defensive picks in the
12:03
transitions and understanding where he needs to be and where
12:07
he needs to to put himself in front of his offensive defense
12:11
when he's defending the offensive options.
12:14
I think that Carl Anthony Towns, if he plays like that, I think
12:18
he could be so important to this team's run all the way to the
12:21
NBA Finals. The secret to the Knicks success
12:25
this year, if they're going to win a championship, it's Carl
12:29
Anthony Thomas. It's not even an argument.
12:32
Everybody says, well, Jalen Bronson, he scores 3040 points.
12:34
We saw when Jalen Bronson scores 40 points, they don't always
12:38
win. They don't.
12:40
You need that other option. You need the guy to not
12:43
disappear in the first half of of the of the first game.
12:47
He disappeared. He he didn't do anything.
12:50
He took over the second-half. Jalen Bronson cannot disappear
12:53
the way he did in the second-half and in the second
12:57
quarter. He didn't score any points.
12:58
Scored nineteen the first first quarter and no points in the
13:01
second quarter and he finally scored his first points, I think
13:05
with three minutes into the third quarter.
13:07
You need more from Jaylen Bronson.
13:09
He needs to give you 30 points a game.
13:11
When they start to compete against these elite teams,
13:14
especially the teams like the Celtics, the Cavaliers, we don't
13:18
even know if Detroit's going to get out of that round.
13:20
We'll see. I I do believe the Magic has
13:23
played them hard and I think they have a tremendous size.
13:26
So the Magic could be very dangerous in that series against
13:29
Detroit, who don't look like the same team they were in the first
13:32
half of the NBA season. But the Hawks are a dangerous
13:37
team because if CJ McCollum is going to give you those points
13:42
and you're going to get Johnson to give you 30 points every
13:44
single game, you're going to be in every single game.
13:47
The Knicks are going to give you a chance to be in every single
13:49
game. And that's because the Knicks at
13:51
some points, don't play that tumultuous.
13:55
What is it tumultuous? Yeah, tumultuous defense that
13:59
we've seen them play in the fourth quarter in game number
14:01
one. They sometimes just
14:03
lackadaisical. They let these teams get back
14:06
into the game when when the Celtics want to put the foot on
14:10
the pedal, they put the foot on the pedal.
14:12
The problem with the Knicks, and I'll say this all the time about
14:15
the Knicks, they never put the pedal to the metal.
14:18
They never do. They let these teams get back
14:20
into the game and, and crawl and crawl and crawl like they're
14:24
doing right now. It's 100 to 94 with 4 1/2
14:27
minutes left of the game. They're letting them get back
14:29
into the game. This game shouldn't even be
14:32
close. They're much better than the
14:33
Hawks. They play bet they've played all
14:36
game better than the Hawks. But the Hawks, they're, they're
14:39
a sneaky team. They're like an Ant.
14:42
They're an Ant farm. They play that that, that, that
14:45
tremendous defense and they can get back in rebounding the ball
14:49
and transition. They're very fast up and down
14:51
the court and they're young and there's a three right there.
14:53
So now they cut it down to three points.
14:55
So it's typical Knicks right now, typical Knick fashion as
14:59
they're letting a team that is nowhere close to the talent that
15:02
they are letting them back in the game.
15:04
Yeah, You mentioned it in your article last week.
15:06
You meant this core. You question like how much
15:08
longer it could go for in the same round.
15:09
Because we've seen even with Tom Thibodeau coaching there, that a
15:12
lot of their playoff losses came to lower seeds, that the Knicks
15:15
were a lot more talented than when you look at Miami,
15:18
especially in 2023, they were in eighth seed and they were
15:20
letting Max Streuse and Dave Vincent shoot threes all over
15:23
them. For a team that was supposed to
15:24
be very good defensively and one of the better premier defenses
15:27
in the league, that team. Now, you've also seen instances
15:29
where they were compensated. Sometimes they let the star
15:31
player play and they'll do everyone else.
15:33
That's what happened last year against the Pistons.
15:35
They let Kate Cook and they stop everyone else.
15:37
But they're also games where random guys like Tim Hardaway
15:39
junior went off on them. So.
15:41
They're only up by 1 now, so that's typical Knicks.
15:45
And now you're seeing. That same kind of thing where
15:46
they're doing a good job. Four run right now.
15:49
They're doing. Oh boy, they're.
15:50
Doing a pretty good job. Only 15 points with Jaylen
15:52
Johnson in this game. He had 23 in game one, but
15:54
they're making him take some tougher shots, which is good.
15:56
Dyson Daniels has been a non factor offensively, but CG
15:59
McCollum has now gone off and now coming has gone off like you
16:01
have other instances of like that.
16:02
Just letting these random guys back in the same kind of thing.
16:04
Like you said, our old the offense Josh Hart and OG out and
16:07
we both OR and Mikhail Bridges both had 11 points only. 11
16:10
Here's when the Hawks take the lead, by the way.
16:12
Yes. Oh boy, don't tell.
16:14
Tell me so. And in this game you got more
16:17
ballot scoring. But no, which is supposed to be
16:18
their prerogatory at the trade deadline.
16:20
So yeah, the Knicks are stuck in our Danny crisis.
16:22
Qi didn't haven't been losing in five.
16:23
I had the Hawks losing in six, the Knicks winning a six.
16:26
But this is definitely they cannot lose this game.
16:29
Yeah, they keep playing this way for what's supposed to be the
16:32
the best fourth quarter team as well in the Eastern Conference.
16:35
Yeah. They're top heavy, man.
16:37
That's the problem with the Knicks.
16:38
They're top heavy. They they only got 2 guys that
16:41
they really actually played through.
16:42
They're hoping that the other guys step up and hit big shots,
16:45
whatever, but they're not. If CJ had an incredible game
16:49
Game 1, Johnson had a credible game, game one as well.
16:52
I think it was a little slow picking it, picking up the point
16:56
spread and whatnot. But at the end of the day, I
16:58
told you guys from the beginning, Atlanta Hawks is one
17:00
of those teams. I definitely still think that,
17:03
you know, the New York Nets will put it out, but the Nets are top
17:06
heavy man. And the last thing you want to
17:07
do is go to a Game 6 with the Orlando host and then have to
17:11
face Boston cesses in the second round.
17:12
It's just going to be it's going to be a recipe for disaster.
17:15
And I think this is the last year this is this is all in auto
17:18
be all. At the end of the day, if you
17:20
guys don't win it this year, they're going to blow up
17:22
everything, including the front office.
17:24
I, I do not, they're going to blow up the, the front office,
17:27
but I, I do believe that this is the last year where you'll see
17:30
all these players on this roster.
17:32
I, I don't think you'll see OG or Mikhail Bridges on this
17:34
roster or you'll, you'll see one of them off this roster because
17:37
you know they're going to go and they're going to put all their
17:39
pigs in the Giannis basket in the offseason.
17:42
If they fail to win this year. I, I think they can win with
17:45
this team. This roster is definitely good
17:46
enough. It's just they never put the
17:48
pedal to the metal. They let these teams come back.
17:50
It has nothing to do with the Hawks.
17:51
It's the Knicks. They're throwing up threes.
17:53
They're they're, they're putting up bad shots.
17:56
They're some of the stuff. Go to the hole, let them foul
18:00
you. When you say win and what?
18:02
What do you mean when you say win?
18:05
What are you talking about? Let's what?
18:06
What are you saying? Well, you say win.
18:07
You say the Mets can definitely win this with this.
18:09
They can win the championship this year if they play at a high
18:11
level. Yeah, fish.
18:12
What you would say? Fish.
18:14
I'm saying that they're shooting right.
18:15
Now. They're shooting like crap and
18:17
they're chucking threes when they didn't need to.
18:20
It's really not great. You know, game planning here
18:23
when you have an 8 point lead for most of the game.
18:25
They got 9 points in the fourth quarter.
18:27
Yep. They they can't hit the
18:29
broadside of anything. Brunson's shooting like 30%
18:32
tonight. It just got a lot of defenders
18:34
to throw at Bronson. He's tired.
18:36
He had a long game, Game 1, he went too hard, he worked too
18:39
hard to get his points and it's out of and it's going to
18:42
eventually catch up. He's still human, but it looks
18:45
good. It's the entertainment and it
18:46
feels well, but at the end of the day he works way too hard to
18:49
get the points that he get. You would think, though, if he's
18:52
the one that's struggling, someone's got to step up and
18:55
that should be Karl Anthony Towns.
18:57
And he's just kind of a little too passive in this game right
18:59
now. He has the advantage on Ocongo.
19:02
He's got power and size over a Congo.
19:04
And like, he doesn't have to worry about Ocongo blowing by
19:07
him. He's not that kind of an
19:08
offensive player. He should really be dominating
19:10
this matchup and he is not. They just took the lead by the.
19:13
Congo, they don't want to. Be Congo is a good defender but
19:16
he's a leaner big man, so he would think yeah.
19:19
He don't want to bang. It's all you got to do from a
19:21
damn game plan is get caught. Anthony times outside, make it
19:25
kick, let him Chuck up the threes and you could live with
19:27
that. And where Jenny burns it down.
19:30
That's been the issue the whole time they have it.
19:32
The other third and fourth option is inconsistent with with
19:35
hitting shots, and so that's what you're left with.
19:38
I just, I'm watching this team right now just completely choke
19:42
and. You can't go to 6 error.
19:43
You can't go to. 6 If they lose this game, this is this is no,
19:47
it's not over. It's it scares you because
19:51
they're going back to Atlanta and Atlanta plays very well at
19:54
home. Come on.
19:55
And it could. They'll win at least one game
19:58
and Atlanta will go 6. It just it's starting.
20:02
It's starting to make me think that this is this is not the
20:05
team that's going to win a championship.
20:06
You cannot let this young team get confident and and play like
20:11
this. You're a better team than them.
20:12
You you played the whole game. You've been pretty much in the
20:16
lead the whole game. They had a little bit of a lead
20:18
in the in the they can't hit free throws either.
20:21
They can't hit free throws either.
20:23
He. They're tired.
20:24
He's missing foul shots. It's bad right now.
20:27
They're tired, they work too hard to get points and that's
20:31
the problem. That's just what it is.
20:34
They don't have a secure third or fourth person that can step
20:38
up and actually hit the shots. So let me give you some of the
20:41
lines of the box scores right now.
20:43
O GS got 14 and eight on four of 10 shooting.
20:47
Towns shooting well, eight of 12/18 and eight, but I'd like to
20:51
see him take more shots. Josh Hart's got the same amount
20:54
of shots as Karl Anthony Towns. That doesn't make sense.
20:57
He's 5 of 11, 15 points, 12 rebounds.
21:00
McCollum is killing them. McCollum is killing them.
21:03
Mccollum's great player and offense, but Bridges?
21:06
Here's the problem. Mikhail Bridges, who they spent
21:09
five first round picks on has is.
21:11
Three of nine with 10. Points five, it was five points,
21:15
but one rebound, 2 assists. He's not doing a whole lot of
21:19
anything and that's a problem. Even if they blow this one,
21:24
they're still going to win this series.
21:25
But you're right, Q, this is not a good sign going forwards if
21:28
they can't handle a team that really doesn't have much in the
21:32
terms of a point guard. I'd say Mccollum's more of like
21:34
a shooting guard. You know, he was not the primary
21:36
ball handler when he was with Dame time.
21:38
You know what I mean? Like back in the day.
21:40
So I, I just don't really, I, I, I think that they should be able
21:44
to force them to a lot of turnovers in transition like
21:47
they did in game one. I thought they killed them,
21:48
especially Hart killed them in game one.
21:51
Looks like Hart's still doing it, but McHale has disappeared
21:54
and they're going to need him to show up against the better teams
21:57
even if they pull this one out. Heart is hustle.
21:59
He's a he's a defensive guy. He's not you can't rely on him
22:02
to go out and get you any buckets.
22:04
You'll be happy if he can, but he's not the guy that you rely
22:08
on to get buckets. So I would say yeah, he's you
22:10
guys. He just 0105103.
22:14
It's been ugly man. It's getting scary out here.
22:16
You wonder too, like Fish you were talking about a few weeks
22:18
ago with the Josh Hart playing center reps and trying to be a
22:21
Draymond Green type role. So I wonder how many times they
22:24
would have done that in the first half.
22:25
They were might deter the offense where Q.
22:27
You're right, he's probably better off being a facilitator
22:30
on the wing or a facilitator to give Brunson some reps against
22:34
it so they don't get worn down. What the hell, man?
22:37
One O 7, one O 3 guys it might be.
22:40
They're going to, they're going to lose this game.
22:43
Might be those that one one series and this is the big up
22:46
time. Yeah.
22:47
And this is what I'm talking about when you talk about going
22:49
up against a team that's well equipped and putting people away
22:52
like Boston, like this, this type of game and effort that you
22:55
can't have going to the second round.
22:57
Yeah, well, I, I this, this is this is a terrible loss by the
23:01
next. You're not winning any games.
23:03
You scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, Errol.
23:05
That's crazy, crazy. You're not, you're, you can't,
23:09
you can't go. You let this young team get
23:11
confidence and you're now you got to go back to Atlanta and,
23:15
and a team that's going to just build on this confidence.
23:17
This is not good for the Knicks. Atlanta going to be on fire too.
23:20
I might go to that game. It just makes me sick to my
23:22
stomach. The Knick, I'll tell you this, I
23:24
don't want to hear any Knick fan on their podcast tell me, oh,
23:27
we're going to run away with this.
23:29
We're going to run away. I I knew that the Knicks are
23:30
going to, they should win this series, but to be embarrassed
23:34
like this, you went up the whole game, the whole game and you let
23:39
this team come back and let CJ McCollum score 32 on you old man
23:44
CJ McCollum. It's embarrassing.
23:47
That's it's not Jaylen Johnson, it's CJ McCollum.
23:49
They're actually containing Johnson pretty well.
23:51
They made him take some touch shots.
23:52
Now it's 17 points, but for a while he was at 10 and he would
23:56
they were. He was shooting under 45%.
24:00
It's the garden, man. The guarded effect.
24:02
When you playing in the garden, you just play out your mind,
24:05
man. You guys, you guys should know
24:07
that by now. The garden effect, man.
24:12
You, you really like to piss people off, don't you?
24:15
You just really like to piss people off.
24:17
You really do. I just, you know, I try to tell
24:19
you. You can.
24:20
You can tell me whatever you want.
24:21
You're a Celtic fan. I'm going to tell you this right
24:24
now. The Celtics better hope that the
24:26
Hawks win this series because they don't want to play the
24:28
Knicks. Because.
24:29
Play with our B team. Well, yeah, the B team.
24:32
Go look at the Celtics record against the Knicks this year.
24:35
Go look at the Celtics record. Yeah, go look at their record
24:37
against the. Knicks, we're not impressed with
24:39
you. We've never played you guys for
24:40
well. It's not over, baby.
24:42
Not over yet it. Ain't over yet, but it's over.
24:44
1.1 point. It's over.
24:46
Yeah, it's over. Trust me, it's over.
24:49
And the Knicks still have a time out, yeah.
24:52
They've better. It's not over.
24:53
OK, it's over. You have a better chance of
24:56
Sonny being Ray Lewis the win of this game today.
25:00
Hey, watch out. Jalen Brunson's magic, Sonny.
25:04
Watch out. Sonny.
25:06
I got it. He probably won't.
25:08
He could probably try to get it. That was 7 height, 7 inches of
25:11
height. That was actually funny.
25:13
That was actually funny. That was 1 funny thing you
25:15
actually said to. Him appreciate you.
25:16
That was funny. Yeah, homeboy.
25:18
That was funny. I like that Sonny being Ray
25:21
Lewis. Sonny Lewis.
25:26
Or Jacob Rodriguez being Brian Urlacher.
25:29
I said just in his ability to cover.
25:32
That's all I'm saying your. Post is going to tell you a part
25:35
of the Internet tomorrow. Let them, let them.
25:40
That's pretty funny. That's what this segment's
25:41
about, right? Making those kind of
25:42
predictions. That's a crazy predicament.
25:46
Prediction, predicament, whatever.
25:47
Is that the craziest one I've said you think?
25:50
By far. I've heard you say crazier
25:52
things, but really? Yeah, he's said some crazy
25:55
things. I mean, especially about the
25:57
Giants. I mean, he he said that Mike
26:00
Evans going to the Giants. That makes a lot of sense.
26:02
He was never going to the Giants.
26:04
He was never going. Everybody's going to the Giants
26:06
with fish. Everybody.
26:08
Dude, I, I got to tell you right now, if, if there could be a
26:13
supermodel could play in in in a New York Giants uniform, he
26:17
would say, oh, she she'll be a New York Giants or forget,
26:19
forget that Nathan would convert his Cowboys fan or become a
26:22
Giants fan of that happens or. Can she block?
26:26
I love Lisa Ann. Or Lisa Ann.
26:28
She could play for the New York Giants.
26:30
Hey, if she could block, she could play.
26:31
For me tickets if that was the case.
26:33
My pinky is bigger than yours. Lulu fish is not a panty
26:37
dropper. Well, not after that take
26:39
anyways. We call this.
26:40
What's that smell? Hold up, what is that smell?
26:44
What's that? Smell.
26:50
Wow, you don't see that every day.
26:53
All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's pretty simple.
26:56
We'll watch the Knicks lose this game.
26:58
But it's pretty simple what we're going to do.
27:00
We're going to go around in a circle and we're going to tell
27:03
you a story, and we're going to tell you what it smells like
27:05
tonight. Fish.
27:06
Speedy. Cue me.
27:08
Here we go. All right, so we'll start off.
27:12
What's that smell with? Just one of the greats, Lavar
27:16
Ball. Oh my goodness if you did not
27:19
see this. He got on in front of a camera.
27:22
In a podcast. He urged the Charlotte Hornets
27:25
to pick up his sons, Lonzo and Jello, and bring all three balls
27:32
to Charlotte. If you want to go to the
27:35
playoffs, 3 balls are better than one.
27:38
I'm trying to explain to you all.
27:40
I have to keep telling you, if you want to go far, you got to
27:44
get all the ball boys. The chemistry and the speed of
27:48
the game is unmatched. You've got to be a heck of a
27:50
coach. How do?
27:51
You give, how do you give Mikael Bridges that shot?
27:54
He missed both both his foul shots and they let Mikael
27:57
Bridges shoot that shot. Mikael.
27:59
Bridges is worth 5 first round. Picks.
28:01
It was OG that missed the shots, not Mikael.
28:03
It was Mikael. Well, I'm sure Mikael missed
28:05
this last one. Guys, don't fight.
28:07
Don't. Fight let's get into we don't
28:08
need to fight about it because they're still going to win the
28:10
series, but whatever look he's a killer.
28:12
You know what I do with a killer?
28:13
You leave them until the end. You don't take them out them
28:16
suckers hit zero and let it be known he's still trying to win.
28:18
He could be down 40 down 50. It don't matter.
28:21
It takes vision risk. Trust me to be a champion and
28:24
you better believe in your players, man blah blah, blah,
28:27
blah, blah. This guy is out of his freaking
28:29
mind. All three of the balls.
28:31
One of them is the guy that came up with the six seven thing that
28:34
just doesn't go away. Jealous Ball with his not great
28:38
rap song that people kept playing for a while.
28:41
My goodness, what is all this smell like?
28:44
It smells like a bunch of big Baller brand bullshit.
28:50
All right, I'll go to some college football here.
28:52
So Alabama football general manager Courtney Morgan was
28:56
mentioning 2 things about NIL, complaining about NIL and
28:59
Alabama. So first one is a kid that comes
29:03
in making close to $1 million. Where does it go from there?
29:05
Basically saying he wants a freshman cap for NIL for one
29:08
thing. And the second thing is he was
29:10
taking shots like, oh, in today's NIL era, A-Team could
29:14
just spend $40 million and win a championship.
29:17
And Kurt Siginetti went on a show in response to that say
29:22
there's most definite case. We did not spend $40 million
29:25
this year. Yes.
29:25
And Kurt is right. Indiana football spent four
29:28
point $14.7 million in an IL money.
29:30
Alabama actually was actually lower on the list than they
29:32
usually are. They spend $15.7 million.
29:34
But the main thing is there were only one team that won their
29:39
conference and that was Texas Tech that was in the top ten in
29:42
spending for NIL this season. So clearly this guy has no idea
29:46
what he's talking about, at least for the 2025 season.
29:48
So what does that smell like? It smells like a Crimson Tide of
29:52
elephant blood coming down on him.
29:56
Elephant. Blood.
29:58
No, their mascot's an elephant, essentially.
30:00
A Crimson Tide elephant. By the way, this is the part I
30:03
forgot to mention because. They lost 38 to 3.
30:05
Because they lost 38 to 3 to Indiana.
30:07
So I'll say 35 foot wave of Crimson Tide.
30:11
Dodger. We got to get Crimson Tide of
30:15
Elephant Blood. So I'll.
30:17
Pick for this show. Java like my shrimp cocktail.
30:20
It has to be it. I'm at a lawsuit.
30:24
I have a lot of options tonight, but I'll narrow it down to one.
30:30
I'm going to go and swing it into the podcast area.
30:33
New York Sports Live Mouth one of the Co hosts, Fish made a
30:37
perdition like that Sonny Styles will be equivalent to Ray Lewis
30:42
in his upcoming NFL debut season.
30:45
I would just like to say that this kid, this man is out of his
30:49
mind. When I say out of his mind, out
30:51
of his mind. I couldn't believe the take.
30:54
Totally unbelievable. Make sure you catch the New York
30:57
Sports Live my show each and every day, Monday and Thursday
31:00
7:00 PM. But this guy said the most
31:03
ridiculous, craziest thing the Internet has ever heard as of
31:06
today on Monday, April 20th, 2026.
31:11
What? It smells like a bunch of New
31:13
York. He tasted giant Big Blue
31:17
elephant blood. As long as she's using dude like
31:20
I'm taking care of my 200 toilet home public area slime.
31:28
Oh yeah. I got the bubble.
31:30
Gum That was a good one. Q Don't worry, we have archives
31:33
of some crazier ones, too. Errol's friend has the greatest
31:35
one of all time. What do you say?
31:36
Ezekiel Elliott could run on the same offensive line that Barry
31:39
Sanders played with. That's that's ridiculous.
31:41
That's still number one of all his.
31:42
Own father told him he was ridiculous when he said look.
31:46
By the way, I'll do the squirrel dance every time Sonny makes a
31:48
play all season. I'll just do it just like Ray
31:51
Lewis. That's I'm just.
31:52
Squirrel dance. It's like when you do you want
31:54
to eat his balls or something. No, the famous squirrel dance
31:57
that he did when he came out of the the gate.
31:59
Give me some of that give. Me some of that now.
32:02
Anyways, my final. What's that smell goes to
32:06
Congratulations to Victor Webanyama for winning the NBA
32:10
Defensive Player of the Year unanimously.
32:12
But here's my problem and why I don't It doesn't make any sense.
32:17
If you look at the list of guys for defensive player of the
32:19
year, they had Victor as the number one, Chet Holmgrim as the
32:24
number two. He had 76 second place votes and
32:27
11 third place. Then Thompson 9 to 33, Rudy
32:31
Gobert 4 to 29. These all second place votes.
32:35
He got all 101st place votes. Victor Webinama hold on.
32:39
Scotty Barnes 3 for 1233 second and 12 third.
32:44
Derek White 22 for two for 2nd and 3rd.
32:50
Thompson 2 and 0. Hold on.
32:52
Dyson Daniels one and two OG and Anobi One second place vote and
32:57
one third place vote. No first place votes.
33:00
This guy was the best perimeter defender in the NBA all season
33:07
and he had none. He he was like the eighth or
33:10
ninth guy on this list. It makes no sense.
33:13
It just tells you how dumb the NBA is when it comes to voting.
33:17
This made no sense. No sense, and I'm not saying
33:20
this because I'm a Knick fan. It doesn't make any sense.
33:22
Chet Holmgrim was not a better defender than OG and Anobi this
33:25
year either was Thompson, either was Rudy Gobert, Barnes, White,
33:30
Thompson, Daniels. None of these guys were better
33:33
than OG. The only one was webbing Yama
33:35
and he should add the 2nd place votes.
33:37
Chet Holmgren. Chet Holmgren, it makes no
33:42
sense. Holmgren is a he's a decent
33:44
defensive player. He is, he's decent.
33:46
He's more of an offensive option.
33:48
Makes no sense. You know what it smells like?
33:50
It smells like the the dump that I was laying out at that movie
33:54
at that movie theater yesterday. Going to see the movie The Beast
33:57
and I'm going to tell you it smelt really, really bad.
34:00
So yeah, I, I, I, I did not get that.
34:04
I don't get this voting how the NBA can actually.
34:07
And, and again, I congratulations to Victor
34:10
Webanyama. He deserves to be defensive play
34:13
of the year. He had like 3 1/2 blocks a game.
34:15
I mean, it's ridiculous. He's also 7 foot 47 foot 5.
34:20
The guy's a beast. So you know what he's supposed
34:22
to. Do but OG Ananobi was the best
34:25
perimeter defender in all of the NBA.
34:27
All of the NBA like shut down defender.
34:31
You look at the analytics, it would sell you that he was the
34:35
second best defender in all of the NBA. 02 days.
34:38
You're referring to analytics, which is not your thing, OK.
34:42
No, it's not. No, it's not.
34:44
So just I just want to make a note.
34:45
No, but I don't look at those pre.
34:47
Go back and forth and I just want to make sure we we notify
34:51
each other when you go back on your worst.
34:53
This makes my pecker hard. Shit just made the defensive
34:56
stop highlight for in the playoffs.
34:57
What do you mean he's the best? He's not.
34:59
He don't deserve the 2nd place vote.
35:01
He was not, if you're going to tell.
35:04
Me, I take shit over OG. You're out of your mind.
35:06
It just shows you. It just shows you that.
35:08
You know who who did OG shut down that you're you're you're
35:11
referring? To He shut down Jaylen Brown a
35:14
couple times this year. He's going to shut down Jason
35:16
Tatum next. Round 30 that game.
35:19
He shut down Jaylen Brown in a couple games.
35:21
What do you have 30 that game? No, he didn't have 30 in the
35:23
game. 27. No, no 27, he shut him down.
35:27
I think he had 19 in one of the games that OG and Nanobi was
35:29
taking him. Dude you you you really don't
35:32
watch OG and Nanobi in the way he defends.
35:34
You really don't. He just lost the night.
35:36
All right? I don't really watch too many
35:38
losers. You're not.
35:39
You're not going to win every game, dude.
35:41
You're just not. You're just not.
35:42
You should've won that when you was up the whole game all.
35:44
Right, you're right. I think the Knicks choked and I
35:47
think they're going to have to come out strong in game #2 game
35:49
#3 and and game #4. I wouldn't even let them win any
35:53
of those games in Atlanta and go back to New York and finish them
35:56
because I just don't give them any confidence to to keep them
35:59
in the series because the longer this series goes, the more
36:02
confident they're going to get as.
36:03
A young confident. They just stole one.
36:06
Stole the game. That's more.
36:07
Than a bad loss, man it is it's a bad loss.
36:10
But look, you know, I wanted this is a team that's responded
36:13
all year. They they look they've
36:14
constantly respond. Maybe they need this to wake
36:17
them to F up because this wasn't good enough tonight, you know?
36:19
Yeah. Shot by 50.
36:22
I'm I'm tired, I'm tired of this.
36:25
I'm listening to this guy all show with this garbage.
36:28
I listen to. I'm listening to, you know.
36:31
Fish's. Crazy takes with trying to
36:33
compare styles to Ray Lewis and Rodriguez to.
36:39
Generational. Library Urlacher.
36:41
Those those shoes that you were that Albert was going to send
36:44
you, they look really. He's going to send it though.
36:46
I can't wait to. Load.
36:50
Once he grow up, it's going to be a different Earl.
36:52
What? Shut up.
36:53
I'm 510 and I'm 510 and a quarter, by the way.
36:56
No way. Yes, I am.
36:58
Yes, I am. I'm 100%, a hundred percent 510
37:01
and a quarter 100. Percent what?
37:03
If it was really an eighth, what if you were 5-10 and an eighth?
37:06
Would you be like really pissed off if you shrunk like an eighth
37:09
and an inch? First of all.
37:10

37:12
In your 40s, you shrink. Britney's taller than.
37:14

37:44
Yeah, Speedy's still got to hit his ghost bird though, so you
37:46

37:49

It happens to the, do you? Even know why I like

Philadelphia I. Don't want to know why I I
38:57

39:03
brought down by OCU Manori 6 times in that one.
39:05
He tastes himself. No, he's not a huge fan.
39:08
Anyway, never ever played in 20 years.
39:10
Still might, dude. I followed him his whole career.
39:14
Even when he played up in Syracuse, I loved him.
39:17
He was my favorite player. I watched him play high school
39:20
ball. He was always, as a kid, I
39:23
always loved him. So when he went to the Eagles, I
39:25
rooted for him so and I stuck by it.
39:28
The The Jets have always been a bad organization, a bad team.
39:31
But I, I I'm a Jet fan. Yeah, they have two. 1009 we
39:34
went to the ABC Championship. Sorry, we're going to mention
39:38
times that were good and and they failed to.
