- 0:13Speaker 3: It was bo.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Wow that Prime Time. I had a crush on Betty Rubble.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
- 0:22Speaker 2: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.
- 0:25Speaker 1: He caught them the game last night, although they won
- 0:28Speaker 1: the game. You're listening to Stegattson Company so much to
- 0:33Speaker 1: get to here.
- 0:33Speaker 2: At stug Gottson Company, we are presented by Fandul Izzy.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I was telling Ariel Holwani yesterday last night at roughly,
- 0:41Speaker 2: I don't know, eleven forty five at night, and I
- 0:43Speaker 2: slept maybe two hours. Here, I was running around my
- 0:46Speaker 2: house like Jim Valvado after he won a national championship,
- 0:49Speaker 2: just looking for somebody to hug.
- 0:54Speaker 4: You know It's funny is I was watching that and
- 0:56Speaker 4: I had you know, my nephews were over. I was
- 0:59Speaker 4: watching it and we had watched the All the Miami
- 1:03Speaker 4: Heat run right in twenty twenty three when they got
- 1:05Speaker 4: to the finals and that Derek White tip in we
- 1:08Speaker 4: still have PTSD over the Derek White tip in Yeah,
- 1:11Speaker 4: And I was like, Wow, that's what it feels like
- 1:14Speaker 4: to not have a horse in the race.
- 1:16Speaker 5: I was just shocked.
- 1:18Speaker 4: I was just hands on my head, like how is
- 1:21Speaker 4: this all happening? And it was just probably the most
- 1:25Speaker 4: entertaining Finals ending I've ever seen.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Wow, Itzy.
- 1:28Speaker 6: I was at a bar in Manhattan, like two blocks
- 1:31Speaker 6: away from the Garden and the Knicks win the game
- 1:36Speaker 6: and I'm with a couple of friends. Lucy was one
- 1:38Speaker 6: of them, and I am I am like borderline weeping
- 1:43Speaker 6: at this point. I'm talking to this one guy next
- 1:46Speaker 6: to me like we're weeping in each other's arms. He
- 1:50Speaker 6: walks away, Lucy goes, who was I go, I don't know.
- 1:54Speaker 2: A stranger down Yep, everyone's your friend. That's what the
- 1:57Speaker 2: team does. That's what this team does to that city,
- 2:00Speaker 2: to that state, to that fan base. He unifies us.
- 2:02Speaker 2: I've been telling you that since and everyone knows that.
- 2:06Speaker 2: But I love that you hugged a stranger last night.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Did you have a single drink or you just at
- 2:09Speaker 2: Shirley Temples? Whatd you do?
- 2:13Speaker 5: I had? I had a couple of drinks, all right,
- 2:15Speaker 5: especially in that first half. Yeah, a couple couple of sprites.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Yes, you noticed the point is he right where Taylor
- 2:22Speaker 2: kind of gave up through in the white towel.
- 2:24Speaker 1: He was done. It was the point where he texted
- 2:27Speaker 1: us in the group text and it was angry. You
- 2:28Speaker 1: could feel it. Nine am tomorrow.
- 2:31Speaker 4: It was just nine am tomorrow. It's probably because he
- 2:34Speaker 4: couldn't get any text that where he was. But Taylor,
- 2:36Speaker 4: I'm curious as to when you started to believe, because
- 2:41Speaker 4: i mean they got down what did that down twenty
- 2:43Speaker 4: again in the second in the fourth quarter, they it
- 2:46Speaker 4: was like nine and a half minutes left and then
- 2:49Speaker 4: you know, we were just watching that game. Everybody's just
- 2:51Speaker 4: watching that game to say, uh, you know, talk about
- 2:54Speaker 4: the next one, like how is the series over? Are
- 2:57Speaker 4: the Spurs going to do what Stefan Castle said? And
- 2:59Speaker 4: when next three? And then you're just like, wait, what
- 3:03Speaker 4: just happened? Wait they're within ten? And then they got
- 3:07Speaker 4: so close so fast that you're just like, yeah, this
- 3:09Speaker 4: is just a regular NBA game now, Like it went
- 3:11Speaker 4: from at nine minutes down twenty to at about six
- 3:15Speaker 4: twenty four down ten, and you're like, this is anybody's ballgame?
- 3:19Speaker 4: And it just happened so quickly then from ten to
- 3:23Speaker 4: just absolutely catching up that it's just like, I don't
- 3:26Speaker 4: know if the Spurs will ever recover from this.
- 3:29Speaker 6: The first moment that I started to believe it was
- 3:32Speaker 6: it was super late, like three like threeish minutes left,
- 3:36Speaker 6: when when Brunton hits a three that I think cuts
- 3:39Speaker 6: it to like.
- 3:40Speaker 5: Three or four in this three I believe. Yeah, that
- 3:44Speaker 5: was the first.
- 3:44Speaker 6: Moment where I was like, oh my god, we've got
- 3:47Speaker 6: it back to a one possession game, Like, like you said,
- 3:50Speaker 6: is He? This could go either way at this point.
- 3:53Speaker 6: And what's crazy is that the Spurs have absolutely dominated
- 3:58Speaker 6: the Knicks for a majority of this series.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Should be a sweep.
- 4:02Speaker 4: But what.
- 4:04Speaker 6: But what you're seeing and why the Knicks are up
- 4:07Speaker 6: three one is the spurs inexperience and inability to close
- 4:12Speaker 6: out these games. And on the other side, it's a
- 4:14Speaker 6: Knicks team who's like, this is gonna be our best
- 4:17Speaker 6: shot ever?
- 4:18Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, uh, it's so uh.
- 4:21Speaker 2: There's so many big moments and so many big plays
- 4:23Speaker 2: in that game, is He? And you know, I wonder
- 4:26Speaker 2: if people are gonna forget about this one because even
- 4:28Speaker 2: with one point two seconds to go on a perfect
- 4:31Speaker 2: inbounds play if Karl Anthony Towns doesn't get his hand
- 4:34Speaker 2: on that basketball. And I'm not certain anyone will ever
- 4:37Speaker 2: remember this because we're all focused on OG's block and
- 4:39Speaker 2: then we're focused on the shot by.
- 4:41Speaker 1: OgH to win the game.
- 4:43Speaker 2: But if I have watched it a dozen times, I'm serious,
- 4:47Speaker 2: and I'm telling you, if Towns does not get to
- 4:49Speaker 2: finger on that basketball, the Spurs.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Win that game. It's a wide open feeling a lot different.
- 4:54Speaker 5: So wide open dump if he catches that.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Yes it was, it was a bad pass. It'd been
- 4:58Speaker 4: way higher U Karl Anthony Towns did get a hand
- 5:02Speaker 4: on it. See the clock should have started when Karl
- 5:05Speaker 4: Anthony Towns got a hand on it.
- 5:06Speaker 1: It didn't.
- 5:07Speaker 4: And so that was another mess up by the Spurs
- 5:10Speaker 4: by the referees there. But look, Taylor was right that
- 5:14Speaker 4: last play, the play before it, the you know, the block,
- 5:17Speaker 4: the the the steel and the Josh Hart missed the
- 5:21Speaker 4: lay up which I'm sure had.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Their hair out. I mean, He'll say the next o.
- 5:25Speaker 1: G bailed him out. He bailed out the entire city
- 5:27Speaker 1: last night, he did.
- 5:28Speaker 4: But all of that leading up to that, every single
- 5:32Speaker 4: Spurs possession was the most frustrating thing to watch, even
- 5:37Speaker 4: when they had There was one possession where they already
- 5:39Speaker 4: had Jalen Brunton defending. They set a screen to get
- 5:42Speaker 4: who else og Ananobi back on the top, and they
- 5:46Speaker 4: kept working the Dearn Fox Victor Wembinyama pick and roll
- 5:50Speaker 4: against og Ananobi and Karl Anthony Towns, who was pushing
- 5:54Speaker 4: Victor Wembinyama anywhere he wants to go. It was so
- 5:58Speaker 4: obvious that the Spurs needed to do something different, anything different.
- 6:02Speaker 4: They had Dylan Harper, their best guards, sitting in the
- 6:05Speaker 4: corner the entire run. And it's just like Mitch Johnson's
- 6:09Speaker 4: an experience is showing, Victor Wenbinyama has an experience is showing.
- 6:12Speaker 4: And Darn Fox might have had the worst ending to
- 6:16Speaker 4: a playoff game that matters that I've ever seen for
- 6:19Speaker 4: a single player.
- 6:20Speaker 1: I mean, that guy should get a statue's.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Unbelievable spurs from winning it two.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I'm not certain, Yeah, I'm not certain who I'd give
- 6:29Speaker 2: the finals MVP to the Aaron Fox or a Mecca.
- 6:32Speaker 6: I mean stud At the very least, d Aaron Fox
- 6:35Speaker 6: has earned a spot on the Knicks parade.
- 6:36Speaker 5: If the Knicks win a championship.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Oh, no question.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Yes, welcome aboard, sir, thank you, thank you for your service.
- 6:42Speaker 1: You could be on the first float.
- 6:46Speaker 2: You know how amazing and special a sporting event has
- 6:49Speaker 2: to be A basketball game has to be when Israel,
- 6:53Speaker 2: when people like Israel goody Eras who have spent the
- 6:55Speaker 2: lifetime covering the sport, and people like Charles Barkley who
- 6:59Speaker 2: have spent the life time playing this sport, honding his
- 7:02Speaker 2: crab and then becoming a broadcaster, When people like Mike Breen,
- 7:05Speaker 2: who have called a million big games are all telling you, hey,
- 7:09Speaker 2: that might be the greatest finals game, greatest ending that
- 7:12Speaker 2: I've ever seen. What a special night, what a special
- 7:15Speaker 2: thing that is for everyone last night is he I
- 7:17Speaker 2: don't care if you're a Nick fan or not. That
- 7:19Speaker 2: was a special evening.
- 7:20Speaker 4: I was watching, you know that Jalen Brunston's celebration. It
- 7:23Speaker 4: looks like a three pointer is eating his face. That's
- 7:26Speaker 4: how I was watching that entire I was just like
- 7:30Speaker 4: I was shocked.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Yes, yes, now just the loss away from getting a tattoo.
- 7:38Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I even forgot about that. And then
- 7:42Speaker 4: like you look at the stat sheet afterward and it's
- 7:45Speaker 4: like you realize the Spurs were just on fire in
- 7:48Speaker 4: that first half. Mike Breen could not stop reminding you. You
- 7:51Speaker 4: could feel his pain from the inside.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 7:53Speaker 4: And then you look at the final stat sheet and
- 7:56Speaker 4: the Knicks shot forty seven percent from three. They had
- 7:58Speaker 4: the better shooting day from three. Obviously didn't hit his many,
- 8:01Speaker 4: but didn't take his many. And it's just man that
- 8:04Speaker 4: de Aaron Fox ending like, It's not just the fact
- 8:08Speaker 4: that he tried to put that shot up when he
- 8:09Speaker 4: didn't have to and Og blocked it. Whatever, it's every
- 8:12Speaker 4: single play down the stretch he was just made a
- 8:15Speaker 4: either the wrong decision or just didn't hit a shot.
- 8:19Speaker 4: And he hit that one shot earlier before the run
- 8:21Speaker 4: started happening, and you could just look it in his eyes.
- 8:24Speaker 4: You can see it in his eyes. He was just
- 8:27Speaker 4: nervous as heck out there and couldn't finish that for them.
- 8:30Speaker 4: And I did not see any.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Of that coming.
- 8:34Speaker 2: We have a new OG song, I am told I
- 8:36Speaker 2: am very excited about this, Taylor. When did you climb
- 8:39Speaker 2: into the studios into the lab in your house there?
- 8:43Speaker 1: What time did you do this song? Like, when did
- 8:45Speaker 1: you do it? What time of the morning?
- 8:47Speaker 5: So the game ended around midnight.
- 8:51Speaker 6: I have a bit of a commute home to get
- 8:53Speaker 6: out of the city, so everybody is running down the streets.
- 8:57Speaker 6: Everybody's going to party. I said, you know what, I'm
- 9:00Speaker 6: a content guy. First, I gotta get this song out.
- 9:03Speaker 6: I gotta get rid of in the map. I was
- 9:05Speaker 6: probably doing takes until about three thirty am. I was
- 9:08Speaker 6: doing a take watching the rest of the Nick game,
- 9:11Speaker 6: doing a take watching the rest of the Nick game.
- 9:13Speaker 6: I probably did, you know, five six, seven takes. But
- 9:17Speaker 6: then I probably watched the Knicks game and the Knicks
- 9:19Speaker 6: postgame shows until about six am.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Yep, all right, we'll get you.
- 9:25Speaker 4: Did you learn with the rest of us that Bill
- 9:26Speaker 4: Pedo is an MSG host?
- 9:29Speaker 2: Come on, I know Bill Pto, of course he does. Well,
- 9:32Speaker 2: you did it yesterday. We'll get to that song in
- 9:35Speaker 2: just a second. Mikeya sent out a group text in
- 9:38Speaker 2: the middle of the game at halftime last night.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Do I have to watch the second half? Did you?
- 9:42Speaker 1: I mean I did? And I did it.
- 9:46Speaker 7: I did it, motherfucking you and Taylor the entire time
- 9:51Speaker 7: because I'm sitting there going I'm upset that the Knicks
- 9:54Speaker 7: are losing, and it's no, it's no secret.
- 9:56Speaker 5: I'm not a big NBA guy.
- 9:57Speaker 8: I don't watch this, but I'm sitting there and I'm
- 9:59Speaker 8: watch and I'm upset when I'm watching the first half,
- 10:02Speaker 8: and I'm like, you motherfuckers made me care about this,
- 10:05Speaker 8: you sons of bitches me. And now I'm sitting there
- 10:08Speaker 8: and I'm invested in it now, and I'm one of
- 10:10Speaker 8: those guys where I'm the fan that everybody all the
- 10:14Speaker 8: sports should want because I get invested big time. And
- 10:18Speaker 8: now I'm watching it and I'm living and dying with
- 10:22Speaker 8: a I've watched what six.
- 10:24Speaker 9: Games all year? Eight games all year?
- 10:27Speaker 8: And now I'm sitting there and I'm I'm I was
- 10:30Speaker 8: Jim Balvano just like you were at the end, and
- 10:33Speaker 8: I didn't care.
- 10:34Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there, motherfucking.
- 10:35Speaker 8: Taylor and Stu gods made me care about this, and
- 10:38Speaker 8: I hate.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Them all right.
- 10:40Speaker 4: I would argue that it's the Nicks kind of made
- 10:42Speaker 4: you care because because.
- 10:44Speaker 1: I wouldn't have watched you.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Wow, he he wants us. He's caring about our feel good.
- 10:48Speaker 2: He doesn't care like that's it. He wants us to
- 10:50Speaker 2: feel good about it.
- 10:51Speaker 4: You can I I take Taylor through the key portion
- 10:55Speaker 4: of this game when this is where a lot of
- 10:56Speaker 4: the screw ups happened, right, and Taylor had mentioned a
- 10:59Speaker 4: three pointer by Jalen Brunson. It was a three pointer
- 11:02Speaker 4: by Og that forced the timeout, but it was at
- 11:04Speaker 4: five pot twenty left. It was a Jalen Brunson hit
- 11:07Speaker 4: a short shot. And it's a seven point game there, okay.
- 11:11Speaker 4: First of all, that's where Mitch Johnson needs to call
- 11:13Speaker 4: a timeout. Wasn't crazy out of control yet still a
- 11:15Speaker 4: seven point game. You can calm your team down.
- 11:18Speaker 1: He didn't.
- 11:19Speaker 4: This is where dearon Fox starts as ridiculous screw ups. Now,
- 11:22Speaker 4: he had just hit a three pointer after a timeout,
- 11:24Speaker 4: so he's probably feeling good about himself. And then he
- 11:26Speaker 4: misses a step bag jumper Nick's rebound. That's when Og
- 11:29Speaker 4: hits the three. Then Mitch finally calls a timeout. That
- 11:32Speaker 4: place was nuts by that point, okay. And then this
- 11:36Speaker 4: is where it's just like it's just bam, bam bam.
- 11:38Speaker 4: It's Jose Alvarado, Victor Winbin Yama, Jose Alvarado again, and
- 11:43Speaker 4: it felt for a second like the Spurs might actually
- 11:46Speaker 4: be able to hold them off, but they just kept coming.
- 11:50Speaker 5: Never has a.
- 11:51Speaker 6: Take aged better than me saying I would die for
- 11:53Speaker 6: Jose Alvarado because the Knicks. The Knicks were down twenty
- 11:58Speaker 6: when Jose Alvarado hit to three the fourth quarter, he
- 12:02Speaker 6: had eight points, three assists, zero turnovers.
- 12:06Speaker 5: He was plus seventeen.
- 12:07Speaker 6: We're talking about an undrafted kid who when he does
- 12:11Speaker 6: his postgame interviews and he's being he's answering questions from
- 12:16Speaker 6: the court, he sounds like any guy that they got
- 12:19Speaker 6: from any of the five boroughs just picked out on
- 12:22Speaker 6: the court and been like, oh my god, Jose Alvarado's
- 12:24Speaker 6: out there. Jose Alvarado's out there repping us. Like the
- 12:26Speaker 6: fact that a New York City kid is in these
- 12:29Speaker 6: moments when nobody really gave him a chance to have
- 12:32Speaker 6: these moments.
- 12:34Speaker 5: It's just unbelievable.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool. It freed Brunts, it up. It
- 12:38Speaker 2: did it allowed him to kind of be off the
- 12:40Speaker 2: ball and Alvarado. It put another ball handler out there.
- 12:43Speaker 2: So it was a great move by Mike brad which
- 12:44Speaker 2: freed up JAYLEB Brunson, who was just amazing last night.
- 12:48Speaker 1: I mean, it was a two man show.
- 12:49Speaker 2: It was Brunted and Og and it was incredible to
- 12:52Speaker 2: watch and Alvarado, I guess, but incredible to watch.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Let's get to this og song, Taylor.
- 13:08Speaker 2: Of all the surprising things that happened to you last night,
- 13:11Speaker 2: was the most surprising thing that happened me.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Responding to a text at two am from you.
- 13:18Speaker 2: I was surprised you were still up like you and
- 13:21Speaker 2: I were having full conversation from like one to two
- 13:25Speaker 2: am in the morning because I hadn't move. The other
- 13:27Speaker 2: college basketball analogy I'll give you in terms of my
- 13:29Speaker 2: reaction to this game is Thomas Hill after Christian Laitner
- 13:33Speaker 2: hits the shot that gets too over Kentucky and gets
- 13:35Speaker 2: them to the bottom flour and he's just sitting there
- 13:37Speaker 2: with that glazed look on his face on the sidelines.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I'm telling you, and then I'm screaming at my wife.
- 13:42Speaker 2: You guys would have loved this. I'm screaming, get it
- 13:43Speaker 2: to fifteen by the fourth. That's all I kept screaming.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Obviously happened. I think God for fifteen, and I said
- 13:51Speaker 2: to Abby, that's a wrap.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Game's over. Nix to geta way and the Mecca will
- 13:54Speaker 1: take care of the rest.
- 13:55Speaker 4: I was watching the first quarter thinking about how right
- 13:58Speaker 4: I was, how Carl Anthony Town's got into foul trouble
- 14:01Speaker 4: in the first couple of minutes, and how the Spurs
- 14:03Speaker 4: were running away with it because the Knicks looked a
- 14:05Speaker 4: little nervous and it's just like wow, and yeah, they
- 14:09Speaker 4: just apparently that wasn't a big enough lead, Like what
- 14:12Speaker 4: is the NBA these days? That that is not a
- 14:15Speaker 4: big enough lead in the NBA Finals, it was wild.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Before we get to the og song gives you. You talked
- 14:20Speaker 2: about the Spurs. Is it over? Do you mean the
- 14:22Speaker 2: season the dynasty? Like, let's clarify here, because I don't
- 14:25Speaker 2: think this series is over. I'm terrified we're gonna lose
- 14:27Speaker 2: the next game to come home and the Spurs are
- 14:29Speaker 2: gonna do the same thing to the next thing they
- 14:31Speaker 2: did last night at MSG, except they'll close the deal.
- 14:33Speaker 4: You know, just to think about it Thursday, because think
- 14:36Speaker 4: about it for a second, like they went from on
- 14:39Speaker 4: the verge of the first championship where this dynasty will
- 14:43Speaker 4: last to oh no, I don't think we can play
- 14:47Speaker 4: Daron Fox, Like we have to not obviously play him,
- 14:49Speaker 4: but we have to get off of this guy. He
- 14:51Speaker 4: cannot be part of our future. Okay, And then you
- 14:54Speaker 4: start not saying that the dynasty's not gonna happen, but
- 14:56Speaker 4: you start to question some of the internal fortitude of
- 15:00Speaker 4: some of these guys. And if this happens, if the
- 15:03Speaker 4: Knicks go out and use this momentum and win this
- 15:06Speaker 4: thing in five, like the Spurs are gonna have some
- 15:09Speaker 4: it's gonna be kind of like you know, twenty thirteen
- 15:13Speaker 4: when Ray Allen hit that shot and then they lost
- 15:16Speaker 4: in Game seven. That offseason for those Spurs was an
- 15:19Speaker 4: absolute nightmare. They hated every moment of it. And they're
- 15:22Speaker 4: gonna have to go through this and this will be
- 15:24Speaker 4: like we talked about, Oh, Victor won't have to go
- 15:26Speaker 4: through a test to win his first championship. No, if
- 15:29Speaker 4: this ends up with the Knicks winning this, this will
- 15:31Speaker 4: be the ultimate ultimate test for a guy who was
- 15:34Speaker 4: that close to a championship.
- 15:36Speaker 6: I'm gonna play both sides here for a second, because
- 15:39Speaker 6: to that point, if I skipped ahead to the day
- 15:42Speaker 6: Victor wembin Yama retires and you told me he never
- 15:46Speaker 6: recovered from this loss, part of me would would kind
- 15:49Speaker 6: of believe that because it was that crushing of a loss,
- 15:52Speaker 6: that deflating of a loss, but also circle of trust.
- 15:57Speaker 6: I would not be surprised if the Spurs won the
- 15:58Speaker 6: next three games, because.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I'm not even joking.
- 16:01Speaker 6: Yeah, they have absolutely kicked the Knicks ass for like
- 16:04Speaker 6: eighty percent of this series.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
- 16:06Speaker 5: They blitz us every first quarter, they.
- 16:08Speaker 4: Do, and they've never held it. Like, they can't even
- 16:11Speaker 4: feel good when they're up twenty. If it happens at
- 16:14Speaker 4: home the next game, they're not gonna feel good about it.
- 16:16Speaker 4: With nine minutes left, they could be up twenty and
- 16:19Speaker 4: they could still have the fear that this could happen again.
- 16:22Speaker 4: And I don't know if it's I mean, obviously they
- 16:26Speaker 4: can learn from this, right, Obviously, they can run different sets.
- 16:29Speaker 4: Obviously they can take Darren Fox out of the game
- 16:31Speaker 4: if they really wanted to. But that big of a
- 16:33Speaker 4: shift right in the middle of the series while you're
- 16:36Speaker 4: going home like the Obviously Victor webin Yama can recover
- 16:40Speaker 4: from this, recover from this long term, but in this series,
- 16:43Speaker 4: it might be it might be tough. I mean, he
- 16:45Speaker 4: played forty four minutes in that game and still they
- 16:48Speaker 4: couldn't pull that out.
- 16:49Speaker 2: It's the roller coaster, it's this series. They have two
- 16:51Speaker 2: days to recover. There's three days in between games. So
- 16:54Speaker 2: that's that's gonna benefit Wemby. It's gonna benefit both teams.
- 16:57Speaker 2: But it's certainly gonna give san Antonio some time, guy
- 17:00Speaker 2: to move past the speaking of Wemby. And people will
- 17:02Speaker 2: leave this out because there were so many plays down
- 17:04Speaker 2: the stretch. You could not call yourself the face of
- 17:07Speaker 2: the league, the greatest player in the NBA. You can't
- 17:10Speaker 2: do the things that you do, act the way you act.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Point to your head, I'm in your head. I'm in
- 17:14Speaker 2: your head. I'm in your head, and then go choke
- 17:16Speaker 2: and miss two free throws at the Mecca with the
- 17:18Speaker 2: game on the line.
- 17:19Speaker 1: You can't do it. You cannot do that.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Michael Jordan doesn't miss those, Kobe Bryant doesn't miss those.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson does it miss those?
- 17:26Speaker 2: Okay, I just put Jalen Brunson in the same sentence
- 17:28Speaker 2: as Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Why the Knicks are
- 17:31Speaker 2: one game away from a fucking NBA title, that's why.
- 17:34Speaker 4: And Stu Gotts they were one proper decision away. And
- 17:38Speaker 4: this is this is you know, the most right I
- 17:41Speaker 4: felt in the first quarter is the most wrong I
- 17:42Speaker 4: felt when this happened. They were one proper decision away
- 17:45Speaker 4: in the off in the off day from Victor Wenbinyama
- 17:48Speaker 4: being suspended for the game five. Yes, because he got
- 17:51Speaker 4: that flavor.
- 17:52Speaker 1: He should suspended arms.
- 17:54Speaker 4: Yes, you should be suspended for this next game. This
- 17:56Speaker 4: series should be over.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:59Speaker 5: And Jalen and did miss a free throw in the
- 18:01Speaker 5: game two.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I know he did, but you know what in
- 18:04Speaker 2: that spot in game five okay or game four, excuse me,
- 18:10Speaker 2: I'm tired, but he gave four the Mecca down the stretch.
- 18:12Speaker 2: He doesn't miss those, he just does it. That's a
- 18:14Speaker 2: terrible job, Mike one, give them one. That is a terrible,
- 18:19Speaker 2: terrible job by a guy who is the face of
- 18:21Speaker 2: the NBA. Jesus Christ. Anyway, go ahead, Mikey.
- 18:24Speaker 5: I would also just yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 18:27Speaker 7: I would also just love to point out that Stu
- 18:30Speaker 7: keeps moving the goalposts. Like he said, Game four was
- 18:33Speaker 7: for everything. If the Knicks win, it's a series rap.
- 18:36Speaker 7: If the Spurs win, it's over, it's a series rap.
- 18:39Speaker 5: Now he's like, well, now I got the Spurs winning
- 18:41Speaker 5: the next three and he's got he just keeps moving it.
- 18:44Speaker 7: I don't think you will allow I don't think you
- 18:46Speaker 7: will allow yourself to believe that this could actually happen.
- 18:51Speaker 1: I don't think most Nick fans will allow themselves.
- 18:53Speaker 2: I don't think we want to go there yet, because
- 18:55Speaker 2: we know how good this team is, we know how
- 18:57Speaker 2: dangerous this team is. We know that we've been out
- 19:00Speaker 2: in all four games. You get somehow we're up three
- 19:03Speaker 2: to one. I just want to I just want to
- 19:05Speaker 2: stay the course, man, I don't want to upset the
- 19:07Speaker 2: apple cart. Okay, So I have the Spurs winny the
- 19:10Speaker 2: next three. I am reeling today.
- 19:12Speaker 4: All the Dicks have to do is stay close because
- 19:14Speaker 4: this is all going to come creeping back. Like if
- 19:16Speaker 4: they are within six points, eight points in the last
- 19:19Speaker 4: five minutes of that game, it's going to feel like
- 19:22Speaker 4: everything's collapsing on the Spurs already. Yeah and so yeah,
- 19:26Speaker 4: I don't think the Spurs are going to win the
- 19:29Speaker 4: next three. I thought in the second quarter that the
- 19:32Speaker 4: Spurs were going to win this thing in six. Now
- 19:34Speaker 4: I believe, I mean, they're going to at least lose
- 19:38Speaker 4: it in six.
- 19:38Speaker 1: I just don't.
- 19:39Speaker 4: I don't have a great feeling about Game five.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Of all the amazing A listers who were court side
- 19:44Speaker 2: last night, who were you kind of scratching your head
- 19:47Speaker 2: about the most Taylor.
- 19:48Speaker 1: For me, it was Kirk Kerbstreet.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Love Kirk, He's a friend. I'm just like like and
- 19:52Speaker 2: I understand, listen, I used to work there. I understand
- 19:55Speaker 2: the access you get when you work at the SPN.
- 19:58Speaker 2: But I'm thinking, like Taylor man, he's been Nick fan
- 20:00Speaker 2: his entire life.
- 20:01Speaker 1: I've been a Nick fan my entire life.
- 20:03Speaker 2: How is Kirk Curbstreet the ones sitting court side for
- 20:06Speaker 2: a Knicks game and getting all the great footage because
- 20:07Speaker 2: he doesn't care about the game so he was just
- 20:09Speaker 2: sitting there on his camera at the entire time.
- 20:11Speaker 6: Kirk Curbstreet was the one for sure for me. Taylor
- 20:14Speaker 6: Swift was another one because Taylor Swift has a history
- 20:17Speaker 6: of being a Knicks fan. But she was just saying
- 20:19Speaker 6: Cleveland with Travis Kelsey, he can't do that.
- 20:22Speaker 1: What are we doing here?
- 20:23Speaker 2: I mean, you were on your court side of the
- 20:24Speaker 2: Calves game against the Knicks, your boyfriend is chugging a beer,
- 20:28Speaker 2: and now you're court side at the Mecca.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Get out of here with Stevie Nicks. I mean.
- 20:33Speaker 6: The one that brought me the most joy though, was
- 20:36Speaker 6: seeing Larry David anytime, seeing anytime, seeing him happy. It's
- 20:41Speaker 6: like such a such a weird juxtaposition with Larry David
- 20:44Speaker 6: that it makes me happier.
- 20:46Speaker 7: Seinfeld was everything after that tip in when they showed
- 20:50Speaker 7: Seinfeld because he was he was in uttered shock. That
- 20:53Speaker 7: wasn't acting, that wasn't I'm playing up for the cameras.
- 20:56Speaker 1: He was. He was every Knicks fan.
- 20:58Speaker 5: He was in shock at that tip it.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Yeah, it was amazing to see all of them out there.
- 21:03Speaker 2: And Spike Lee was singing New York, New York with
- 21:06Speaker 2: Scott Van Pelts.
- 21:07Speaker 1: That was Stevie Nicks. I mean they stood.
- 21:11Speaker 9: Everyone was there until hours after the game.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Taylor, when you poured out of that bar because you're
- 21:17Speaker 2: all about content. You had to get home, you had
- 21:19Speaker 2: to write a song. What was the city like? It
- 21:21Speaker 2: was interrupted?
- 21:22Speaker 1: Right, it did.
- 21:23Speaker 6: So the bar that we were at was probably it
- 21:27Speaker 6: was at capacity from from tip, but by the time
- 21:31Speaker 6: the game ended it was probably at like sixty percent.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Where they did.
- 21:35Speaker 6: The Stu Gotts move of leaving and trying to come
- 21:38Speaker 6: back in.
- 21:40Speaker 5: The city was crazy.
- 21:42Speaker 6: I was trying to go back to Penn Station and
- 21:45Speaker 6: all the streets are closed and people are running people
- 21:48Speaker 6: are screaming and everybody's doing the let's go Nixt chance.
- 21:51Speaker 5: It was, uh, it was emotional.
- 21:54Speaker 6: I was I was like on the verge of tiers
- 21:55Speaker 6: like forty times, and I'm like just thinking about it,
- 21:58Speaker 6: like just one more game. I just every time I
- 22:00Speaker 6: felt like I was about to cry, I just kept saying,
- 22:02Speaker 6: one more game.
- 22:03Speaker 5: They have to win one more game.
- 22:05Speaker 1: You couldn't be I'm sorry say that clean?
- 22:08Speaker 9: Is he?
- 22:08Speaker 1: Yea? You couldn't be.
- 22:09Speaker 4: More right about the Jose Alvarado when you look at
- 22:12Speaker 4: everybody else on that Knicks pitch. I mean, shout, shout
- 22:14Speaker 4: out Ariel hook party.
- 22:16Speaker 1: His three minutes were huge.
- 22:17Speaker 4: He was plus three while all the foul trouble was
- 22:19Speaker 4: going on and Mitchell Robinson was getting hacked all over
- 22:22Speaker 4: the place. But without Jose Alvarado, this Knixt team does
- 22:26Speaker 4: not win this game, period. And everything that has happened
- 22:30Speaker 4: so far in these finals, it's just like it's the
- 22:33Speaker 4: exact opposite of what Tom Thibodau would have done.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Right. He's playing in.
- 22:38Speaker 4: The current coach Mike Brown is playing enough bench players
- 22:41Speaker 4: where somebody's gonna have a game and somebody's gonna save
- 22:44Speaker 4: your ass, and it just so happened to be Jose
- 22:46Speaker 4: Alvarado last night because Landry Shama's last two games have
- 22:48Speaker 4: been awful.
- 22:50Speaker 2: When he put Alvarado into Mike Brown's credit and then listen,
- 22:53Speaker 2: that move has been justified already just by the next
- 22:55Speaker 2: getting to the NBA finals here one step further that
- 22:58Speaker 2: Tom Thibodau was able to get him. But he did say, hey,
- 23:01Speaker 2: we need more we need more shots, we need to
- 23:03Speaker 2: get our shots off quicker, we need possessions. We're down,
- 23:06Speaker 2: we need to catch up, and this will free up
- 23:08Speaker 2: Jaylen Brunts And you heard him in the time out
- 23:10Speaker 2: kind of saying all that. And it turned out and
- 23:12Speaker 2: it worked out, and so you have to give you
- 23:15Speaker 2: give Alvarado the credit, but that credit starts with Mike
- 23:17Speaker 2: Brown making that decision in that moment, with the season
- 23:21Speaker 2: on the line, to put.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Alvarado in and have Jalen as a two guard.
- 23:24Speaker 2: So, uh, it was a special, special night, so special
- 23:28Speaker 2: that Taylor went home and wrote a song about it.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Let's take a listen here.
- 23:31Speaker 2: This is the latest song Taylor, as I believe six
- 23:34Speaker 2: or seven songs, five of them about Jalen Brunson and
- 23:38Speaker 2: a new one here about og so let's listen to it.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Brunson gets it fires up at break shot no gun,
- 23:44Speaker 2: but tim, it's gone.
- 23:45Speaker 3: It's gone. It's gone one point.
- 23:49Speaker 9: Let's take the lead.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Brunts and miss don't know. We're in trouble. Someone get
- 23:59Speaker 3: or rebound. Please.
- 24:01Speaker 9: He's there there for the tipping' oh g.
- 24:07Speaker 3: And in the final moments he somehow saves the day
- 24:12Speaker 3: at MSG.
- 24:14Speaker 9: He's there for the tipping' oh G.
- 24:20Speaker 3: O g oh G O g oh G. He's there
- 24:28Speaker 3: for the tipping' oh G.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Big Beatles guy, huh.
- 24:36Speaker 4: He really loves the slow Beatles songs.
- 24:39Speaker 1: They work, They work. Come on, you aren't singing along,
- 24:44Speaker 1: oh G? In the gorse? I can't.
- 24:46Speaker 4: I can't sing along the first time. You gotta listen.
- 24:48Speaker 4: You gotta take it in the way Taylor intended.
- 24:50Speaker 1: All right. Shout out ABC.
- 24:52Speaker 5: Shout out ABC for the play by play.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he is taking it.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Doesn't have Taylor Vippolis featuring Mike Breen.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Guys, listen to ESPNT ABC.
- 25:06Speaker 2: They paid Mike Breed and the NBA a lot of
- 25:07Speaker 2: money to have the rights to use that sound.
- 25:09Speaker 1: I'm glad you put it in a song. Let's hear
- 25:11Speaker 1: it again.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Trumpson gets it, fires up a thread, shut no, got
- 25:15Speaker 2: the tip.
- 25:16Speaker 9: It's gone, It's gone, It's gone with one point too pervading.
- 25:21Speaker 9: Let's take the lead. Oh, brunts and miss don't know.
- 25:27Speaker 3: We're in trouble. Someone get or rebound please. He's there
- 25:32Speaker 3: there for the tippin'.
- 25:35Speaker 9: Oh g.
- 25:38Speaker 3: And in the final moments he somehow saves a day
- 25:43Speaker 3: at MSG.
- 25:45Speaker 9: He's there for the tippin' oh g.
- 25:51Speaker 3: O g oh g g oh g oh g. He's
- 25:59Speaker 3: there for the tipping' oh Joe's m h.
- 26:08Speaker 1: I love you, Taylor, Kay
