  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to The Daily Play with Joey Taylor.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm Joy Taylor. Thanks so much for joining us.

  Speaker 2: at The Daily Play Joy Taylor.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: So let's get to it.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: The Knicks up to OH beating Philly one one o
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: two in Game two, New York did everything that they
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: were supposed to do in front of all of those
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: celebrities at the garden. You saw them all sitting court side,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: so I don't need to run.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Through all of them.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: But it was the perfect New York night for the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: New York Knicks. Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxie duked it
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: out with twenty six points a piece, butt with OH without.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Joel and Bide available.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Twenty points from Karl, Anthony Towns and og Anobi proved
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: enough for the Knicks to take the two to oh
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: series lead. Obviously disappointing to not have Joel Embiid out there,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: but the Knicks didn't mind, and Brunson said, most importantly,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: it's staying poised, saying composed, just figuring out one play
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: at a time, one step at a time, and not
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: looking too far ahead.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I do think that it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Is smart for the New York Knicks not to look
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: too far ahead.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: They are in the perfect position.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: They did what they were supposed to do, defend home court,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: give good, solid performances from everyone, and now they are
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: heading back to They're heading to Philly where it is
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: essentially a must win game for Philadelphia. They cannot go
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: down three to zero to the Knicks, the series would
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: be over.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: So now all of the pressure is on Philadelphia.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I do think Philadelphia will win Game three, and they
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: are certainly going to come out ravenous, as teams do
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: when they are in desperate situations. And look, Philly matches
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: up really well with them, and you know, this was
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a this was a good game by Philly by all accounts,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: just couldn't get it done. And obviously you don't have
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Dowell and beat out there. That's a that's an issue,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that's going to be an issue. So I don't think
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that the Knicks should overlook the Sixers. I like that
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson said that I don't think that they should
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: look too far ahead. Take care of the task at hand.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: As Kobe said, job not done. But if you're a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Knicks fan, you are obviously in heaven right now and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: loving what you see, and now you're looking ahead to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the next rounds. And if the Cavs gonna upset the Pistons,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that is a better matchup than if you pay attention
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to the regular season matchups. Knicks were two and one
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: against Cleveland's and zero and three against Detroit the season.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: But Brunson and company did knock out the Pistons in
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the first round last year. Obviously that's a completely different team.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So the Knicks could be the team that comes out
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of the East.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I thought as the postseason started that it was going
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to be Boston.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Obviously very wrong about that as they are home.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But I I'm not entirely ready to jump ahead just yet.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: We're very early in the second round. I'm not going
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to get ahead of myselves. Knicks fans might they're their
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: fifth straight win, they're tired for the second longest, tied
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: for second longest in a single playoffs in franchise history,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and it's one shy of their longest, which is sixth
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: straight in nineteen ninety nine.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And they finished the game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: On a twelve three run after the Sixers led ninety
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: nine ninety six with six twenty five remaining, which I
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: think is really important as a note, because finishing the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: game strong, closing it out, putting your you know, you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: foot on their neck, whatever you want to say, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: getting the win convincingly at home, defending home court super
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: super important. After a really rocky start to the postseason
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: for the Knicks in Round one, I like the intensity
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: in which they're playing and that they handled business.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And now it's onto Game three the Spurs. Woo. Wow.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: The Spurs got their lick back for that Wolves Game
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: one win.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: A dominating performance in Game two one thirty three ninety nine.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, this game was this game was over that halftime.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: But the Spurs won the first quarter by seven, won
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the second quarter by seventeen, and led by thirty five
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: through three quarters. So this was quite the blowout, which
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: is what the Spurs fans needed to see after Anthony
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Edwards and Companies sold one from San Antonio in Game one. Great,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: great bounce back from the Spurs. I love them coming
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: out with this kind of intensity. Really disappointing to see
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the level of intensity from the Wolves, especially because you
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: are you're in it now, like you stole Game one
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: at home. You have the opportunity to take another one
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: from the Spurs and just came out very lackluster, did
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: not have the energy. They were taking terrible shots, they
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: weren't running in offense, and the Spurs were just pushing
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the ball and doing everything that they wanted to. So
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: after some inexperience leaked out in Game one, they got
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: themselves together and dominated game too.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I love what I saw.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: A thirty eight point win, third largest in playoff playoff,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: third largest playoff.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Win in franchise history, one hundred and.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Thirty three points for their third most in a playoff
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: game in franchise history. So a historic night from the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Spurs from Wemby a great answer to that Wolves.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Win in Game one.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: As this series continues, I still think it will be
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a long one, but really a great answer from the Spurs,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: just completely dominant throughout the game. So it's the NFL
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: off season that means to sign for the Cowboys to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: make some headlines. Stephen Jones is embracing his father's responsibility
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of that with America's team. On his latest comments on
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: how the Micah Parsons trade has worked out, he is
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys chief operating officer.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Said, we feel really good about it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Obviously much respect for Mike and what he stands for
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and how he plays and the caliber of player he is.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, we feel good about we've
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: at what we've added via that trade.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You look at a guy like Quinn Williams, Kenny Clark.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: They're alpha players who are not only great players in
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the field, but leaders in the locker room, how they
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: go about their business in the off season. They just
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: bring leaderships to the team. We had a guy like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Caleb Downs who's obviously the same type of character. He's
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: going to make everyone around him great. Everyone's going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: feed off him. I feel very optimistic we have the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: right pieces in place. Ultimately, the decision we made was
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that one player is not worth four or five good ones.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: We had that opportunity there, and I didn't.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Feel like we were putting one player away last year.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: But I certainly feel like we're putting the pieces together
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to get an opportunity to go and do what our
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: fans deserve, which we want, which is to go and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: try and win the big trophy. Sorry, it's just it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: been so long since the Cowboys have done this. Micah,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: don't do it. Don't just don't take the bait. Okay,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: don't let them, let them do this. This is what
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys do. They have these these pr battles. This
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: chapter is done. Like everyone has moved on. You're with
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the Packers now. The Cowboys have lots of things that
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: they need to fix and at the end of the day,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: like this is how the NFL goes, you have to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: make these decisions. Are you going to take one maybe
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: all time great player and make a move to add
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a couple good pieces and take the risk that maybe
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: one of those pieces will end up being as good.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: As Michael wasn't I don't know how.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Really, I don't know that we have fully seen what
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the results of this trade will be. I think it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: going to take a few more years, as most of
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: these big trades do. I mean, at the moment, obviously
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I would say that the Cowboys did not win this trade.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: But winning and losing a trade takes time to see.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: How all the pieces fall.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You're not going to find this out in one year,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: usually unless it's a complete and utter disaster, which could happen.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But I think we'll need a couple more years to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: really pan out and see how both of these these
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: teams fare and what the careers look like in the ends.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys were not one piece away. Micah is a
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is a one piece player on the defensive side for sure,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But the Cowboys have a lot of things, a lot
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of pieces that they need, So I don't know that
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I would have done that move. I think Micah is
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: one of one. He's a generational player. So like I said,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you got to hope to get a generational player back.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So we shall see.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: But Micah, were done, were done with the Cowboys. Let's
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: face forward. There's nothing but nothing but sunlight ahead of us.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: So uh bus, there's nothing like that. There's nothing but
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: sunlight ahead of you. I can't wait for the NFL
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: season to get here anyway. That is the Daily Play
