America. Good morning and welcome to the
1:04
Mac and Jack Show. I'm Sonya Jack.
1:07
Good morning again. I hope you have had a nice
1:10
little break there. Since we didn't film on Monday,
1:13
we had to re air. Thanks to everybody for all the
1:15
support on that show. Today's Wednesday May 28th, 2025
1:21
and we are talking sports an abbreviated show today.
1:23
So let's get started. NBA playoffs Knicks get a
1:27
surprise that are now down 31. Jack to take it back to the
1:31
Garden. Sonia, it's like a soap opera
1:34
since we last did a show. The Knicks win a hole, then
1:39
they're in a hole again. They win the 2, nothing hole,
1:41
but not in the three, one hole. There's no long any margin for
1:45
error. And last last night's game, in a
1:49
sense, pointed out what the modern NBA is all about.
1:53
I mean, it's not so much, you know, moving the ball around,
1:57
creating the best shot. And I get it with analytics to a
2:01
point that if you take more 3 point shots, it's one extra
2:05
point. They have a way of figuring
2:07
these things out. Like let's say you take 3, you
2:12
take 10 shots, you make 3 out of 10, three pointers.
2:16
That's a total of nine points. You'd have to make five out of
2:20
10/2 pointers to get 10 points, just one point more.
2:24
But what that doesn't take into consideration is getting fouled.
2:28
You rarely get fouled on the three pointer.
2:30
And I, I don't mind teams taking a lot of three-point shots as
2:36
long as they're open. But there's so many of these
2:38
shots that are forced like yesterday.
2:41
And the Knicks just got to get it back together.
2:44
They play tomorrow night. I, I think they'll do well at
2:47
Madison Square Garden tomorrow night.
2:49
I can't. They're visualizing them losing
2:52
all three games at the Garden. But if they do bow out in five
2:56
games and they've lost all three at Madison Square Garden, it's
3:01
hard for me to imagine them standing pat in the offseason.
3:04
They're going to want to make some type of a move, and what's
3:09
the move going to be? Who are they going to trade in
3:11
reality? I mean, what's going to be
3:14
available for them? There's all this talk about
3:16
Giannis coming to the Knicks. Will the Knicks do a blockbuster
3:20
deal, You know, add Mikkel Bridges, for example, on the
3:25
Nobi or whoever else in the couple of number ones to try to
3:30
get Giannis. You know, they they would have
3:33
the chips actually to pull off a deal, OK in that case.
3:37
But it's hard to see him standing path if they go out in
3:40
five games, you know, But if they extend the series and they
3:45
lose it, maybe they come back with the same crew next year.
3:49
Or maybe the simplest move, Sonia Ball, you know it better
3:52
than anyone. You change coaches.
3:55
That's the simplest move of all. I mean, Tom Thibodeau has a a
4:00
record of not resting his vet in time.
4:03
Jack, literally they're in foul trouble.
4:06
He doesn't want to pull pull them from the game.
4:08
I think it may be a situation where you're just looking at a
4:11
fatigued Knicks team. I mean, they've played high
4:14
pace. They've had to come back from
4:16
some big deficit. And I mean, I get it, he's
4:19
desperate to win his championship, but at what
4:22
expense? I mean, Tyrese Halliburton was
4:24
unstoppable with 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds, no
4:29
turnovers. That's a triple double and
4:32
literally no turnover. He's going to be the first
4:35
player in the NBA history that has those 30 points, 15 assists
4:39
and 10 rebounds with no turnover.
4:41
He made history last night, Jack, at the expense of that
4:44
same Knicks team. Yeah, the last couple of games
4:47
he has been playing is Bench Moore, an all fan at the time,
4:51
Thibodeau. OK, he has tried to mix things
4:54
up in Game 3, you know. You know, he sat Brunson out a
5:00
little longer in the fourth period than people would have
5:03
normally anticipated because his bench was doing well.
5:07
So I, I don't know if that's a knock on him for the last couple
5:11
of games at least. You know what, Mr. Brunson
5:14
coming to the game yesterday, I can understand that being
5:18
mentioned. But they kept putting him on
5:20
camera. The guy acted like a complete
5:23
jerk and they glorify it. You know what that means, Sonia,
5:27
Mr. Branson is going to get a spot on ESPN, you know, one of
5:32
these talk shows and all because that's what that's what sports
5:35
is today. The people who, you know, act
5:38
foolishly, you know, usually get these opportunities, you know,
5:42
more or less the bad, bad boys of sports.
5:46
You could call it that way. He's definitely going to get
5:51
that. I mean, anytime they're showing
5:53
them like that, look at the panel that's up there now, all
5:57
former players, all former AKA cameraman, just always in the
6:02
camera, always in the spotlight. And that's how they usually
6:05
choose their panel. If, in my opinion, Jack.
6:07
Oh yeah, the guys like the Draymond Green sort constantly
6:12
being 1/2 of. The point we just.
6:14
Play prominently. And then, all fairness, Charles
6:17
Barkley, who I think is a great guy now, a great individual, was
6:21
a knucklehead when he played. The comments he'd make, he
6:24
criticizes other people. But Charles Barkley, during the
6:27
Olympics, he hit an overmatched play.
6:30
I forgot the country with an elbow in the chest, a hot elbow
6:34
deliberately. And that team was so
6:36
overmatched. The player didn't do anything to
6:39
Barkley. And Barkley wanted to get his
6:42
respect. He was claiming, are you, you
6:44
you try to do something to me, I'm going to give it back to
6:47
you. And replay showed none of that
6:49
went on. But that was Barkley at the
6:51
time. He's turned into a great guy.
6:54
No, since then. But, you know, you want to.
6:56
They like big personalities like the Michael Urban's, you know,
7:00
constantly got into difficulty, you know, off the field.
7:03
But of course, that's his ticket to, you know, getting one of
7:08
these plum jobs, you know, the sports and Keyshawn Johnson, you
7:12
know, not a good teammate, you know, at all when he was with
7:16
The Jets, not to Wayne Cabet at least.
7:19
And you know, and he was a bit of a lightning rod.
7:22
He gets a position, you know, sports talks so on.
7:26
Maybe, maybe, maybe that's maybe that's good in a sense, Sonia,
7:30
when I give you a hard time, maybe that's my ticket to
7:33
getting somewhere. Maybe so, maybe so.
7:37
And we want to apologize because we're having some connection
7:40
issues to the Roku Channel. I've tried a few times.
7:43
So we're going to have to rebroadcast this a little bit
7:45
later on. So for our Roku audience, we
7:48
apologize. You were watching the re air.
7:51
But good morning to everyone watching on all the social media
7:53
platforms. Karl Anthony Towns, Jack just
7:57
still re injured. That right knee coming out
8:01
pretty gingerly actually looks like a bit bothering him
8:04
sometime during the fourth quarter.
8:06
Do you think that's impactful for the game going forward?
8:10
Yeah, I do it. Most likelihood it is when I saw
8:16
him hobbling around when he got up, my reaction was take him
8:20
out, take him out. I don't mean he had an injury
8:24
per say that he was putting himself on this severe
8:28
additional risk. I don't know, but he was in bad
8:32
shape hobbling around. He's going to be very sore.
8:35
He's going to be very sore. But you have the credit to Karl
8:38
Anthony Towns. He had such heart and so on to
8:42
want to stay in there. He willed himself to staying in
8:45
there, but the bottom line is how effective can Karl Anthony
8:49
Towns be if he's hurt like that? But of course the trainers, you
8:54
know, I'll be working on them till the next game and he'll be
8:59
in as good as shape I guess if he can be considering, you know,
9:04
the knock he took. But if he's really sore, it's
9:07
going to hurt him a little more on the defensive end.
9:10
He could always, you know, line up and shoot, you know, make
9:14
some 3 pointers, you know, grab some rebounds that are coming in
9:18
his direction, but he's going to, you know, lack a little more
9:22
mobility. You know, for the Knicks for
9:24
game five, they really got to come out and set the tone
9:28
immediately because in every game in this series, except
9:32
maybe the game one, Indiana set the tone in the beginning, OK?
9:37
And the Knicks never got off to this start the way they did in
9:40
game six. You know, kind of like against
9:42
Boston, just set the tone immediately, get off to a lead,
9:47
have the Garden crowd roaring you.
9:50
The Knicks got to take command of this game.
9:52
They got to take command of game five from the outset.
9:56
For the most part, I don't go for this one game at a time
10:00
nonsense because who you're fooling when you're down 3
10:04
nothing or three one in the series.
10:07
Every player knows the mountain ahead of them.
10:10
OK, you really do. But but I do agree in this
10:14
point, if you think of the whole big picture, you're practically
10:18
doomed. And the Knicks can't think that
10:21
while we have to win three games in a row.
10:24
And I know I'm being a contradictory to what I'm
10:27
talking now, but when game five, you know, put all your energy
10:31
into Game 5 and then think we have to win the next two games.
10:37
Don't think one game at a time because that's going to wear you
10:39
out mentally. Game at a time, game at a time,
10:43
game at a time. It's so much, so much harder to
10:47
get up for you multiple games as it is for one game.
10:53
So let the next take care of business in Game 5.
10:56
And I think we got to win the next two games because if it's
10:59
only two games, Sonia, you can see the finish line, you can see
11:03
the finish line and thinking we have a chance to get there
11:07
first. But if it's three games, you
11:10
can't see the the finish line looks so far away.
11:14
I mean, it's extremely difficult, Jack.
11:15
We've talked about this in other matchups, and it's proven true.
11:18
When you're down 31, the statistics are against you.
11:22
I've always made the pun the entire finals here.
11:26
I want to say post season, but it's finals for NBA that the
11:29
Pacers have literally kept pace and you have to keep up with
11:33
their pace if you want to beat the Pacers.
11:35
They've set the pace, you know, no pun intended.
11:38
And they've literally gotten it done.
11:39
And of course, this is, you know, they're one game away from
11:43
the championship game. Well, I don't think it was
11:46
fatigue at all yesterday because especially in the 4th period of
11:52
the game, there was a lot of fouls.
11:54
There was a lot of place going to the foul line and Indiana was
11:58
fouling. And when they and when the
12:00
Knicks went to the foul line or the Pacers went to the foul
12:03
line, it did slow down the pace of the game.
12:06
It wasn't the type of fast-paced game where teams are running one
12:10
another ragged. In the beginning of the game,
12:13
the teams were running a lot of running up and down the court
12:16
and the Knicks were initiating a lot of that.
12:18
They were fine with that as well.
12:21
But at the end of the game, it wasn't a case of the Knicks
12:23
being tired. You know, it had so much to do
12:27
with shot selection and three pointers were being rushed by
12:33
the next. Mikkel Bridges would try to do
12:36
an imitation of Michael Jordan dribbling from one side of the
12:39
basket to the other, then trying to, you know, make a turn around
12:43
jumper. You know, I, I just didn't like
12:46
this. The shot selection, you know, in
12:49
a, in a lot of cases, the shooting percentage at the end
12:53
wasn't that bad. What did Indiana shoot 51 to 46%
12:58
to the next? Set.
13:00
Yeah, I mean, that's close enough, but it could have been
13:03
better on the Knicks end of it, you know?
13:06
And listen, I'm a big believer in these playoff games.
13:11
Every team has one big game in them where, you know, if the
13:16
teams are pretty evenly matched, where not every game in the
13:20
series is necessarily going to be close or one team's going to
13:23
blow the other team out. Like in the last series, the
13:26
Knicks and Boston, when the Knicks up three one, I said
13:30
Boston's got one big game in them where they're going to just
13:33
blow the Knicks out. And they did it in game five.
13:36
And the Knicks had one big game in them where they were going to
13:40
could blow Boston out. And that was Game 6.
13:42
I think Game 5 is the game that Knicks have one big game in them
13:47
where they're going to beat Indiana decisive.
13:50
But then, you know, then there's Game 6 and that chances are
13:55
that's going to be a whole different story with the Knicks
13:58
be able to eke out a win there. But let's not get ahead of
14:01
ourselves. They've got to win game five and
14:05
for more ways than one. I mean, if the Knicks lose the
14:08
series, it's a bad blow. But how they lose the series
14:13
counts for something. As we talked about early in this
14:16
show, Sonia, if you lose it in six to seven games, it was kind
14:21
of like a fight, a battle. You could say we're as good as
14:25
they were, but we just happened to lose the series.
14:28
I, I think we're better than these guys.
14:30
We should beat them. But if you leave, lose the
14:33
series in five games, you can't turn around and stay.
14:37
We're better than these guys. We should have beat them because
14:40
you would have lost four games to 1, four games to 1's, not
14:43
close at the end. Yeah, I I always say Jack, in my
14:48
opinion, if you allow an opponent to get up three one,
14:53
you are really delaying the inevitable whether you get beat
14:56
in the next game or the final game.
15:00
In my mind you not well, I guess if you go down to the to game
15:03
seven, that means you've you've fought back, you've come back.
15:07
But if you go out in Game 5 or Game six, those are the two
15:11
games that you literally have just delayed the inevitable
15:14
because they're already up so many games.
15:17
I mean, I know we want to take this one game at a time, but it
15:20
has to be in their minds that we have to win out at this point.
15:24
They have to, yeah. This is it.
15:27
There's no margin, Avera. You know, we keep hearing about
15:33
must games, must games, must games, and Reality Stone.
15:36
The only must game is when you're facing elimination.
15:40
It's then, you know, then it's the moment of truth.
15:44
Teams can win three in a row in situations like this and they
15:48
have. I mean, listen, there was what
15:51
like what, 3-4 years ago whenever, when Miami played, you
15:56
know, Boston in the in the finals that, you know, Miami
16:01
went up 3 nothing. Boston won the next three games,
16:05
you know, and then Miami won a game seven in Boston.
16:09
But you know, 3 in the rows do a bowl.
16:12
You know, it's all mindset. Just win game five.
16:16
You know what makes this game extra important for the next?
16:18
Not just staving off elimination.
16:21
It's being at Madison Square Garden.
16:24
You're it's going to be a long winter.
16:27
They. Lost all three games at the
16:29
Garden. That's the mystique.
16:32
You know, yesterday, Sonia, I went out with a friend of mine
16:35
for lunch and he's, I haven't seen him for a while.
16:38
He's talking basketball to me. I wish Keith Vander was here to
16:42
hear this. And this is what drives me crazy
16:45
because if the Knicks are still down through one, then he says
16:48
to me immediately, I could be a brace if at times, as you know.
16:53
But when he says to me, he says, well, the Knicks need today's
16:56
game to win, to regain homecourt advantage, it's it's as if Keith
17:04
Angle planted that in my friend to talk the heck with homecourt
17:10
advantage. And you know the way it tells me
17:13
if the Knicks lose game five, I don't want to hear about
17:16
homecourt advantage again, about Madison Square Garden ever being
17:21
an advantage. To the next.
17:22
Again, I do not want to hear it. OK, they better.
17:29
There is no homecourt. You know, even though if they
17:32
lose this series in six games to Indiana, at least they would
17:35
have won game five at the Garden.
17:38
But if they lose all three at the Garden, I mean, what's the
17:42
mystique? A point of Madison Square gone
17:44
and and the Knicks arguably have the best fan base in the world
17:49
for any team sport, for sport. They've stuck with this team.
17:54
They've cheered for this team that it's rare with a level
17:57
Buddhist team. It's a great it's an underrated
18:00
fan base. The Knick fan base.
18:03
It it it's absolutely fantastic. I mean, they're loyal to the
18:07
Knicks. The Knicks charge sky high
18:10
prices making it so difficult to go to a Knick game and and they
18:15
deserve better than this. They.
18:19
Still pack the stadiums. Well, the arena that Madison W
18:24
Garden and you know, and it's a magic place to play.
18:28
You kind of wonder the Pacers mindset in this in game five.
18:32
I know they're going to say all the right things.
18:36
We're going to hear it's far from over.
18:38
It's not far from over. Yep, 3/1 you're close, you're
18:42
close and not none of this nonsense with that, it's far
18:46
from over. And then you you're getting
18:48
Reggie Miller, he's doing the broadcast, you know, the TNT.
18:54
And it's a very sensitive issue because Reggie Miller is a Pacer
18:58
icon, arguably a probably the greatest Indiana Pacer in team
19:04
history. You know, but and Reggie Miller,
19:08
when the Pacers had a 13 point lead, you know, in, in in the
19:13
second-half, he's saying it's it, it means nothing at all.
19:19
What do you mean it means nothing at all?
19:21
Reggie, it's a 13 point lead. Don't come here.
19:23
It means nothing at all. I mean that you can put it in
19:27
other way. It meant something, you know,
19:30
because Indiana was protecting the cushion.
19:32
I know a team to come back from it.
19:34
But Reggie Miller's doing a good job.
19:37
Kudos to him, is a broadcaster. He's being very sensitive to
19:43
call it down the middle. He's shown no favoritism towards
19:47
the paces in this broadcast. He's trying to be very
19:51
professional. And Reggie Miller, you know, is
19:54
doing a good job. And you know, too, they were
19:57
pointing out yesterday they were letting the players play to a
20:01
large degree. And in my view there was certain
20:04
contacts being made. You know, but how foul the call
20:09
has to change. One play is dribbling.
20:13
It's like. They move into another player
20:17
and the players on defense who can't help it, he's not
20:20
initiating. The contacts been being called
20:23
for fouls. And I think it's the old NBA
20:27
theory. Whenever there's contact,
20:29
somebody has to get blamed. It's like the teacher.
20:32
It's like the teacher riding on the blackboard and someone
20:36
throws a spit ball at the teacher.
20:38
The teacher doesn't know who it is.
20:40
The someone gets pointed out and has to get blamed.
20:44
Yes, I mean, it's the same thing.
20:46
And you know what, Jack? To that same end, New York
20:49
through a challenge and won the challenge and still lost the
20:54
time out. And it's like, how in the world
20:59
do you throw a challenge and you're still punished for it?
21:02
It's a way to discourage you from questioning the rest.
21:05
Somebody's got to step in to balance this thing out.
21:09
It's hard to ref basketball. I mean really hard.
21:12
I know the officials have a hard job.
21:15
I'm glad the NBA enacted some type of challenge.
21:18
But, you know, the NBA players are so good, they can very you
21:25
know, the way they hook one another's arms quickly and it
21:28
doesn't look intentional, but they have a way of, you know,
21:32
disrupting shots. But with, you know, with the
21:37
well, there's another game tonight, Sony, another series
21:40
going on Minnesota and OK C and you know, I picked the
21:44
Timberwolves to win this series going in.
21:47
I can't see him doing it anymore.
21:49
So I can't see them doing it anymore because the Timberwolves
21:55
for years have had something that's kind of been haunting and
22:00
that's inconsistency. I mean, they'll show up for one
22:03
night and they're going to look great.
22:05
They'll really look great. But they don't keep it going, it
22:08
seems, for multiple games. You know, and I know, I know
22:12
what they did in the past series, like with the Lakers and
22:16
so on. But Anthony Edwards Game 4, you
22:20
know, if you're a star, you're supposed to take the most shots.
22:24
You're supposed to initiate the things you know the most.
22:28
I mean, you know, he's acting like a point guard, a point
22:32
guard that's not a shoe. They're not a scorer.
22:35
And the Timberwolves don't have a high-powered offense without
22:39
Anthony Edwards supplying it. And he he's acting more like a
22:43
facilitator, you know, in game four.
22:46
And they didn't need that and missed the opportunity.
22:50
They lose a squeaker to OK C. Now they're down 31.
22:53
And homecourt does mean something here.
22:56
This to the next three games would be an OK C.
23:00
If the Timberwolves have to come back and win three in a row,
23:04
that's too much of A mountain to climb.
23:07
After win game five and OK C, I don't that's going to be hard to
23:13
do. And then they got to go back to
23:15
Minnesota and win a Game 6 and then go to OK C and win a
23:19
deciding game. No, OK C when they got blown out
23:22
by over like 43 points in game three, they just put it out of
23:27
their mind. It was a throwaway game to them
23:30
and they came back more determined in game four to show
23:34
what they were made of. Yeah, definitely.
23:37
I mean, 3-1, we, we talk about that all the time.
23:39
OK, C is only 48 minutes away from finalizing this thing.
23:44
Of course, tonight they kick off at 8:30 and Shay, Gilgus,
23:49
Alexander, I mean, he's been the star of this thing.
23:53
We talked about Anthony Edwards as well.
23:55
But I mean, SGA has been the the game changer on this top seeded
24:02
team. Supreme player now he may be the
24:06
one to, you know, end up letting this thing slip away.
24:10
Timberwolves got a tough climb ahead.
24:12
They got to look at their offensive issues and they got to
24:15
win three straight. I know we said one game at a
24:17
time, but if they had not dropped that many in a row this
24:21
whole season, we're hoping that that kicks off here in the
24:24
finals because they're going to need it because tonight could be
24:27
it, Jack, once we're 26, very, very close.
24:31
But the point is, they still got the L.
24:34
Yeah, well, you know what I don't understand?
24:36
Why doesn't anyone talk about SGA being the future face of the
24:40
NBA talk? They talk about Anthony Edwards,
24:42
and Anthony Edwards is a good team guy.
24:45
You know, the trouble he has off the court and his personal
24:49
issues. That's another area.
24:51
I mean, that might affect them of being the face of the NBA.
24:54
We don't know. But the truth of the matter is
24:58
you have certain other star players in the past who had some
25:02
big issues of their own and they became the face of the NBA.
25:06
And I could point out to, you know, several of them if I
25:09
wanted to, but I'd rather not. Doesn't mean that they're bad
25:13
people at all. It doesn't mean that at all.
25:16
But and and that's, and I mean that about Anthony Edwards.
25:20
He's a real team guy. He tries to encourage his
25:23
teammates and everything's involved.
25:25
I'm just talking about how he is as a basketball player.
25:29
SBA is better and but Anthony Edwards is more charismatic.
25:35
SGA is not for whatever reason, he's not charismatic.
25:39
He's just a great player and you know, not charismatic.
25:44
I don't know why. He's just great, that's all.
25:47
He is, but in, in certain positions.
25:50
Jack, at least in the playoffs here when he doesn't have the
25:53
room, if they block him in, if they play defense on him, he
25:57
cannot make the big plays. I'm talking about Anthony
26:02
Edwards. He can't get again, he can't get
26:05
these buckets even understand he's the face of the NBA or
26:08
they're looking at it. You know, Charles Barkley talked
26:11
about this and he blasted people that are saying that because
26:15
Edwards in the second-half of this game, in the first half,
26:17
actually, he only had two shots in the first half, 13 for the
26:22
game and only had 16 points. He didn't even hit his three
26:25
pointers. How are you the face of the NBA
26:28
when you can't even box out, you can't get against the defense,
26:32
you can't zone out and you can't make the big plays?
26:36
But but you know, we've seen after the Edwards take all the
26:39
games in the past. In the past.
26:41
Show that real stock quality and he's the one player that the
26:47
Timberwolves build around. I mean, you know, teams have a
26:52
player like that in OK C it's, you know, SGA, certain teams
26:57
have cold players like that. The Celtics like Tatum and
27:00
Brown. But you know, you look at the
27:02
Milwaukee Bucks, they tried to build around Giannis.
27:05
The Sixers didn't work out. They tried to build around and
27:09
beat certain teams, try to have costars.
27:12
And it doesn't work like Phoenix.
27:14
There's a disaster with Devin Booker, you know, and Kevin
27:17
Durant, you know, the Warriors always try to build around Steph
27:21
Curry. They'll try that going forward.
27:25
But, you know, but Anthony Edwards, you know, has got to
27:29
take, you know, the next step at some point.
27:33
And this was the year to do it. And you know, and he, he's a
27:37
heck, he's a heck of a player. Anthony Edwards.
27:40
I'm, I'm not criticizing if you tell me Anthony Edwards is one
27:43
of the top ten players in the NBA.
27:46
Maybe he sneaks into the top 10, but he's not this superstar that
27:53
everyone is, you know, just about projecting him to be.
27:57
Let's talk about one of his one of his counterparts here that as
28:02
we get ready to kind of the last couple of minutes here, we're
28:04
going to have an abbreviated show here today.
28:06
Jack and myself, we have some obligations this morning, but
28:09
we'll be up with you on Friday. I'm Julius Randle, I mean,
28:13
cannot dribble very well, but one of the hottest players in
28:16
the postseason just did not. The coach Finch did not even go
28:21
with him because he is dribbling was so bad that every time he
28:25
got the ball he was attacked. The Thunder just 28 minutes was
28:29
all he had just OK C just obliterated him at half time.
28:34
He only had five points. They literally put the ice in on
28:38
Julius Randle and I think with them ice in that offense like
28:42
that, this may be a run that is unstoppable for the T Wolves
28:45
tonight, Jack. Yeah, well, the T Wolves are
28:48
relying on their bench. That was somewhat effective.
28:52
And like we said in the past show, you know, you kind of wait
28:55
for Rudy, go Bass, that pop, come on, that pop, I, I know
29:01
he's basically a rim protector. You have him there, you know,
29:04
for defense, rebounds, etcetera. But they need him to be a little
29:08
more of an offensive presence, getting the ball inside, because
29:12
that would open things up a little more.
29:15
You know, he just hasn't delivered that way.
29:18
Yeah, of course. OK, See in the Thunder tonight.
29:21
Umm, this May. Excuse me.
29:23
OK, see in the Timberwolves tonight, this may be the finale
29:27
for that game, 8:30 PM Eastern Standard Time.
29:30
Jack, it's always great to have you right here by my side.
29:34
Great show, great morning to all.
29:35
We will see you guys show throughout today.
29:38
Premier proper sports tonight at 9, the big football, big sports
29:42
show midday at six. And Jack, myself and Keith Angle
29:45
will join you guys on Friday. And with that, we bid you all a
29:48
good day.
