0:30
Speaker 1: is he avoiding softball games? What is going on here?
0:33
Speaker 1: Is he playing sick? Is he trying to get out
0:35
Speaker 1: of the softball games?
0:36
Speaker 2: Taylor?
0:36
Speaker 3: Now we had to buy for Memorial Week?
0:38
Speaker 1: Okay, ad nan Verk is going to fill in for
0:41
Speaker 1: is He today on the radio show Our thanks to
0:43
Speaker 1: Mike Golick Senior for filling in yesterday. He'll be a
0:46
Speaker 1: part of God Bless football coming up. It just a
0:48
Speaker 1: little bit. But I want to get to Darryl Moury.
0:51
Speaker 1: I want to get to the Knicks. I want to
0:53
Speaker 1: get to a lot of things. We have a lot
0:54
Speaker 1: of things to discuss. Mike Greenberg gets Taylor pumped up
0:57
Speaker 1: for the NBA Finals. I'm concerned about Mike Breen. But
1:01
Speaker 1: let's start here. Mike Ea because I am confused. I
1:03
Speaker 1: get these notes from Taylor before the show. They are
1:06
Speaker 1: topics that he wants to discuss. We have an update
1:09
Speaker 1: on the enhanced Games. I'm looking forward to that. One
1:12
Speaker 1: of the topics that he sent me today. One of
1:14
Speaker 1: the things he texted me today is that he would
1:17
Speaker 1: like Darryl Moury to be investigated. It's a weird, weird topic.
1:22
Speaker 1: It's a weird person to want to be investigated. And
1:25
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, why, what did Daryl Moury do to you, Taylor.
1:29
Speaker 3: So I'm watching the Thunder game a couple of nights ago, Yes,
1:33
Speaker 3: and they moved Jared McCain into the starting lineup and
1:36
Speaker 3: he set the tone for them. The Thunder were down
1:39
Speaker 3: Jalen Williams, he had a hamstring strain. They were down
1:41
Speaker 3: aj Mitchell, he had a calf strain. Right Jared McCain
1:46
Speaker 3: comes in. He scores twenty points. Daryl Moury traded him
1:49
Speaker 3: to the best team in the NBA for next to nothing.
1:53
Speaker 3: And at the time he said the seventy six ers
1:55
Speaker 3: we sold high on Jared McCain. That take is aging
1:59
Speaker 3: worse and worse by the day. And I am so
2:02
Speaker 3: upset and my red flags are going off when I
2:06
Speaker 3: saw that trade. Yeah, because he gifted the best team
2:10
Speaker 3: in the league a starting caliber player as they're making
2:15
Speaker 3: a chance to repeat as champions. And I know what
2:18
Speaker 3: people are gonna say, hey, Taylor, you sound like a
2:21
Speaker 3: bitter Knicks fan who's a little worried about the Oklahoma
2:24
Speaker 3: City thunder.
2:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
2:25
Speaker 3: And if I sound like that, it's because I am.
2:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, but exactly hold on because Mikey, what do you
2:31
Speaker 1: imagine when he says the red flags go off?
2:34
Speaker 5: Like?
2:34
Speaker 1: What do you imagine is happening there? To Taylor, I
2:38
Speaker 1: don't think they went off right when they made the trade.
2:40
Speaker 1: I think he just realized that Darryl Moorey made that
2:42
Speaker 1: trade and it could impact the knicks chances of winning
2:45
Speaker 1: an NBA title.
2:47
Speaker 6: I think if the Spurs are up three to two,
2:49
Speaker 6: I think he wants someone else investigated.
2:51
Speaker 5: That's what I think, Taylor.
2:56
Speaker 3: So when the seventy six ers were getting their teeth
2:59
Speaker 3: care by the Knicks, I'm watching them and I'm going,
3:02
Speaker 3: you know what, they could use McCain, Jared McCain. They
3:05
Speaker 3: could use some bench scoring. Why did they unload this
3:09
Speaker 3: kid who looked like a Rookie of the Year last
3:11
Speaker 3: year for her first round pick and a couple of
3:14
Speaker 3: second round picks, Like you could have got that package
3:17
Speaker 3: for him whenever, And now that the seventy six ers
3:19
Speaker 3: have fired Darryl Moury. I think there was something there
3:23
Speaker 3: to it where they found out that the Oklahoma City
3:26
Speaker 3: Thunder compromised Darryl Moury, and that's why Daryl Mory traded
3:29
Speaker 3: Jared McCain to them.
3:30
Speaker 1: Okay, at the time he made that trade, I am
3:32
Speaker 1: certain Darryl Moray did not expect his team to wind
3:35
Speaker 1: up in the Eastern Conference semi finals.
3:37
Speaker 2: That's number one. Number two.
3:38
Speaker 1: Hasn't Darryl Moury been fired? And yet that's not enough
3:42
Speaker 1: for you? You still want an investigation of Darryl Moury. I
3:45
Speaker 1: think he got fired because he made this trade.
3:48
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so why investigate that?
3:50
Speaker 3: I mean because maybe he was compromised by somebody from
3:53
Speaker 3: the Oklahoma City Thunder. Somebody in the Thunder had something
3:56
Speaker 3: on him allegedly.
4:01
Speaker 2: Very good use of allegedly there, yep, they had was there.
4:04
Speaker 5: Was a pregnant pause between that.
4:06
Speaker 1: And I think he was trying to think of the word.
4:08
Speaker 1: He didn't know what words he used, He had no idea.
4:10
Speaker 1: He got caught up in the air. He was making
4:12
Speaker 1: accusations that might not be true, and so therefore he
4:15
Speaker 1: had to say allegedly.
4:16
Speaker 3: Allegedly they got something on him. I don't know what
4:20
Speaker 3: they could have got on him, right, but they said, hey,
4:22
Speaker 3: we're the Oklahoma City Thunder, where the bullies of the
4:25
Speaker 3: NBA give us, give us one of your best young
4:28
Speaker 3: players to make our team even stronger.
4:30
Speaker 1: What they had on him was he was swept by
4:32
Speaker 1: the Knicks. I mean, that's it. That's what they had
4:35
Speaker 1: on Daryl Morey. He's been fired. So if they investigate
4:38
Speaker 1: him and your claim is true, what would you like
4:41
Speaker 1: them to do to Darryl Mory?
4:43
Speaker 2: Throw them in prison?
4:44
Speaker 3: I mean no, So Daryl Moury at that point, I
4:47
Speaker 3: would want him banned from the NBA for life. Oh okay,
4:50
Speaker 3: But I want the if the Thunder had any role
4:53
Speaker 3: in this and they compromised him, right, I want the
4:57
Speaker 3: Knicks to be gifted the title.
5:00
Speaker 2: No you don't.
5:00
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we want, Mikey.
5:05
Speaker 2: We we want to earn it, Taylor Blood.
5:08
Speaker 3: No, we are going to earn it. We're gonna earn
5:10
Speaker 3: it in four or five games, I think against this
5:12
Speaker 3: Thunder team. But Mikey, you're a Yankee fan. The Astros
5:16
Speaker 3: had that whole cheating scandal against against the Yankees, and
5:20
Speaker 3: if the Yankees got past the Astros. Maybe the Yankees
5:22
Speaker 3: have another World Series title.
5:26
Speaker 5: I wouldn't want them to be gifted anything.
5:29
Speaker 6: I would I would have liked them to be able
5:31
Speaker 6: to face the Dodgers. I would have liked them to
5:34
Speaker 6: beat them. I would have liked them to beat the Astros,
5:37
Speaker 6: whether they were cheating or not. But at the same time, like, no,
5:40
Speaker 6: I don't want to be gifted anything that's not sports.
5:44
Speaker 1: I would say Daryl Morey fleeced them. I mean he
5:47
Speaker 1: got four picks. One of them is a first rounder.
5:49
Speaker 1: I mean from the Rockets. I would yeah, he should
5:52
Speaker 1: still have his job.
5:53
Speaker 6: I mean, Taylor, you hear that. Daryl Moray should be
5:59
Speaker 6: investigating every this. I think Leon Rose needs to start
6:02
Speaker 6: getting off his ass and doing something. Sounds like sounds
6:05
Speaker 6: like players can be had if you have the right information.
6:07
Speaker 2: That's right, yep, little insider trading, let's go.
6:10
Speaker 3: Leon Rose has to do something besides get this Knixt
6:13
Speaker 3: team that was irrelevant for over two decades to the finals.
6:16
Speaker 2: Listen, they gave up five for Jared McCain right now,
6:19
Speaker 2: right he had the right pictures.
6:21
Speaker 1: Yeah for a pick less, for a pick less than
6:23
Speaker 1: you gave up from McHale.
6:24
Speaker 2: Bridges. I mean, how about that.
6:26
Speaker 3: I mean Mkelbridge is putting up numbers that like we've
6:29
Speaker 3: only seen lebron and like Kawhi Leonard put up in it.
6:31
Speaker 1: I know, but you're concerned that Jared McCain might prevent
6:34
Speaker 1: us from winning an NBA title. And I would tell
6:36
Speaker 1: you if Jared McCain prevents us from winning an NBA title,
6:40
Speaker 1: we shouldn't win the NBA title.
6:42
Speaker 3: And he's not going to prevent us from winning the title,
6:44
Speaker 3: because you know why, we have Jalen Brunson.
6:47
Speaker 2: So why do you want to investigated? He's nervous, he's rattled.
6:51
Speaker 6: He is you know what, he doesn't feel bad for
6:54
Speaker 6: him at this moment.
6:54
Speaker 2: He doesn't like the rest.
6:56
Speaker 1: He'd prefer rust because he doesn't like all this time off,
6:58
Speaker 1: or he's left with his thoughts to think about how
7:01
Speaker 1: someone's gonna screw over the next It's unbelievable.
7:04
Speaker 3: The other thought I've been having is Isaiah Hartenstein was
7:08
Speaker 3: a Nick favorite, a nick legend, some would say, yep.
7:12
Speaker 3: My thought is what if the Knicks sent Isaiah Hartenstein
7:16
Speaker 3: as a double agent to OKC to help them win
7:19
Speaker 3: this finals and the consolation prize was he would win
7:22
Speaker 3: a finals before the Knicks were ready to be on
7:25
Speaker 3: their finals run.
7:26
Speaker 2: So they sent Hartenstein in to be a spy, double agent,
7:30
Speaker 2: double agent. It's a big difference. What's the difference?
7:32
Speaker 3: Just sounds a way cool, it really does.
7:35
Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Does a double agent sound
7:37
Speaker 1: cooler than a spy? I'm with Taylor on that one.
7:40
Speaker 1: So you have Hartenstein going in there, he's doing he's
7:43
Speaker 1: doing detective work.
7:44
Speaker 2: Ali con right, He's he's a double agent.
7:47
Speaker 1: He's supposed to prevent the Knicks, prevent Oklahoma City from
7:50
Speaker 1: getting better. But Darryl Moury thunders in and he trades
7:53
Speaker 1: with McCain and there's nothing Hartenstein can do about it.
7:56
Speaker 1: And now Hartenstein is going to win a title before
7:58
Speaker 1: the Knicks in Hertenstein's job was to prevent Oklahoma City
8:01
Speaker 1: from winning anymore.
8:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what if I have this clear?
8:04
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure.
8:04
Speaker 3: So Hartenstein's end of the bargain was he would win
8:07
Speaker 3: a title with the Oklahoma City Thunder and then in
8:10
Speaker 3: year two he would help the Knicks win a title
8:13
Speaker 3: against the Thunder because they're on a collision course against
8:17
Speaker 3: each other. So if you turn on Game one and
8:19
Speaker 3: We're in Oklahoma City and Isaiah Hartenstein has some pretty
8:23
Speaker 3: convenient turnovers that lead to some mckel bridges or Josh
8:27
Speaker 3: hart Fast break points. Yeah, don't say I didn't warn you.
8:30
Speaker 1: All right, so you you win the first title to
8:32
Speaker 1: keep the scent off of you, right, that's correct. Okay,
8:35
Speaker 1: got it right.
8:35
Speaker 2: So now he hasn't been prime position right now. Yes,
8:39
Speaker 2: he can fuck this series up as badly as he
8:41
Speaker 2: wants it. No one's gonna question and why he's an
8:44
Speaker 2: NBA champion.
8:47
Speaker 6: So you're saying you want Daryl Moore investigated, but you
8:51
Speaker 6: have Hartenstein being a double agent. But you don't want
8:55
Speaker 6: bon Rose to be investigated or Hartenstein.
9:00
Speaker 5: I'm just key. You're pigeon holing yourself.
9:04
Speaker 2: He's all over the place.
9:05
Speaker 1: And listen, this is why I say when people tell
9:07
Speaker 1: us to act like we've been there before, we can't
9:09
Speaker 1: because we've never been here before.
9:11
Speaker 2: And so this is what we do.
9:12
Speaker 1: And we're left to our own device is and all
9:14
Speaker 1: we have is time to sit around and wait to
9:17
Speaker 1: see who we're going to face the NBA Finals.
9:19
Speaker 2: We start coming up with ridiculous theories, by the way,
9:22
Speaker 2: theories that I love all of them. Except for Morey
9:25
Speaker 2: being investigated. He lost his job.
9:27
Speaker 6: I mean, stud, do you imagine this is what it
9:30
Speaker 6: would be like for us if the Jets ever made
9:32
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl in that one week off? Do you
9:35
Speaker 6: imagine like this is how we would be.
9:37
Speaker 1: I've never imagined it, but yes, yes, you haven't let
9:41
Speaker 1: your mind go there. And by the way, if they
9:43
Speaker 1: want to gift the Jets of Super Bowl, we'll take it.
9:45
Speaker 2: I don't care.
9:46
Speaker 5: Oh, that's one, I'll take. Yes, that's one if they
9:48
Speaker 5: were to Jet.
9:49
Speaker 1: Right because the Knicks are good enough to win. The
9:51
Speaker 1: Jets are never going to be good enough to win,
9:53
Speaker 1: and so we'll need a gift. The Knicks don't need
9:54
Speaker 1: gifts here. This team is good enough to win an
9:56
Speaker 1: NBA title right now.
9:58
Speaker 3: If I could give you, guys any kind of ho
10:00
Speaker 3: or any kind of inspiration about twenty nineteen, when the
10:03
Speaker 3: Knicks were winning twenty games this season, they were getting
10:07
Speaker 3: blown out almost every game, and I'm watching them and
10:09
Speaker 3: I'm trying to talk myself into cle Anthony Early or
10:12
Speaker 3: I'm trying to talk myself into you know, Lance Thomas
10:15
Speaker 3: becoming something I was. Where you guys are at a
10:19
Speaker 3: Jets fans thinking this could never happen. This can never happen.
10:22
Speaker 3: With this ownership, something drastic is gonna happen. I'm gonna
10:25
Speaker 3: have to die before I see my team playing in
10:27
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals, right, and then look at me now
10:30
Speaker 3: less than what seven years later? Yeap back in the
10:33
Speaker 3: NBA Finals.
10:34
Speaker 2: It's been a long way for you, suffering Knicks fan.
10:36
Speaker 1: I mean, Jesus, by the way, you can't you know,
10:38
Speaker 1: you said you have to wait until you die to
10:40
Speaker 1: see the Knicks in the NBA Finals.
10:42
Speaker 2: If you're dead, you're not going to see the Knicks
10:43
Speaker 2: of the NBA Finals. What are you doing there? He's
10:46
Speaker 2: rattled Bikey a little bit. You're nervous out of the
11:00
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. All you want Oklahoma City, don't you? Uh no, no,
11:06
Speaker 2: very too far, too far, Okay, I want I want
11:08
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. You know, here's an interesting thing.
11:11
Speaker 1: Okay, everyone is talking about the Knicks and their easy
11:15
Speaker 1: path to the NBA Finals. And I'm not going to
11:18
Speaker 1: say that it's, you know, been the most difficult path
11:21
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals.
11:22
Speaker 2: But why is everyone talking about that?
11:24
Speaker 1: And no one, and I mean no one talked about
11:27
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Cities pat to the NBA Finals and Championship just
11:31
Speaker 1: a year ago. They beat the Grizzlies, an eight seed,
11:35
Speaker 1: they swept them, They earned that.
11:36
Speaker 2: They were the one seed.
11:38
Speaker 1: The next round they played the four seed, the Nuggets,
11:41
Speaker 1: and they wheezed to the finish and won in seven.
11:44
Speaker 1: The next round after that, they really started getting some breaks.
11:48
Speaker 1: They played the sixth seed Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals,
11:51
Speaker 1: the sixth seed Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals, and
11:54
Speaker 1: then they got the Pacers in the NBA Finals. And
11:58
Speaker 1: I'm not certain what the Pacers were seated in the
12:00
Speaker 1: East last year. I know it wasn't that high, but
12:02
Speaker 1: that's a print. They were fourth in the East. That's
12:04
Speaker 1: a pretty easy path for Oklahoma City. I am not
12:07
Speaker 1: certain how good this Thunder team is. They haven't been
12:10
Speaker 1: challenged yet.
12:11
Speaker 3: And the other reason why I don't really subscribe to
12:13
Speaker 3: the Knicks have had an easy path is because along
12:16
Speaker 3: this path it's a bit of revisionist history. Like nobody
12:19
Speaker 3: was saying the Sixers were easy going into the Sixers
12:23
Speaker 3: Knicks series, and nobody was saying the Calves were gonna
12:26
Speaker 3: be easy going into the Knicks calvs. Series. And it's
12:28
Speaker 3: not like the Knicks are getting by one or two
12:32
Speaker 3: point margin of victory. It's like the Knicks. Any team
12:35
Speaker 3: you put in front of the Knicks right now. Yes,
12:37
Speaker 3: the Knicks are blowing their doors off.
12:39
Speaker 1: Yes, they're beating those teams the way good teams should
12:41
Speaker 1: beat bad basketball team. That was not the case with
12:44
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City last year. They weezed against Indiana and they
12:48
Speaker 1: struggled against Denver. I mean, I don't know how good
12:51
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City is. They're without Williams. I'm telling you right now,
12:55
Speaker 1: I am feeling so good, and this is a bad
12:56
Speaker 1: thing for Nick fans. I am feeling so confident that
13:00
Speaker 1: this is the year that, regardless of whether it's the
13:02
Speaker 1: Spurs or Oklahoma City, the Knicks are winning an NBA title.
13:06
Speaker 2: They have the better team.
13:07
Speaker 3: Stu, you surprised me that that thunder take was so
13:12
Speaker 3: good about the thunder not being really challenged last year. Yeah,
13:16
Speaker 3: did you watch Get Up this morning?
13:17
Speaker 2: No? I did not. I love Greenee. I did not
13:20
Speaker 2: watch Get Up. Why what happened?
13:22
Speaker 3: Because that was basically exactly what Greene said, almost verbatim.
13:26
Speaker 3: That got me fired up for the NBA Finals.
13:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, really listen, Perhaps Greeney stole it from me. I
13:32
Speaker 1: hadn't said it yet, but perhaps Greenedy stalls. I think
13:34
Speaker 1: I texted it to him now that I'm thinking about it.
13:37
Speaker 3: So this is how Greenee opened. Get up today where Greenee,
13:40
Speaker 3: A lot of people are throwing water on this Knicks
13:43
Speaker 3: parade right now. Greene, though, came with your straight facts.
13:48
Speaker 7: Start spreading the news. The New York Knicks are the
13:52
Speaker 7: junior varsity to no team ever.
13:55
Speaker 4: They are.
13:56
Speaker 7: In fact, I'm the kind of heater that historically only
13:59
Speaker 7: the very greatest teams and very greatest players.
14:01
Speaker 2: Have ever matched.
14:03
Speaker 7: And they absolutely could win the title in the next
14:05
Speaker 7: couple of weeks. Let me lay this out for you.
14:07
Speaker 7: The Knicks of the fifth team ever to win eleven
14:09
Speaker 7: straight playoff games in a single year. The others featured
14:12
Speaker 7: in chronological order, Magic and Kareem Duncan and Robinson, Shaq
14:17
Speaker 7: and Kobe and Stephen KD. Just digest that for a moment.
14:22
Speaker 2: That's the entire list.
14:23
Speaker 7: And among those, the twenty seventeen Warriors had the best
14:26
Speaker 7: point differential. Okay, they entered the finals outscoring their opponents
14:29
Speaker 7: by one hundred and ninety six points. These Knicks are
14:33
Speaker 7: a plus two seventy one in the playoffs. That is
14:36
Speaker 7: seventy five points better than a team that was so
14:38
Speaker 7: good that people said it was ruining the sport. But
14:41
Speaker 7: here's the thing. You know all of that already. What
14:43
Speaker 7: you want to talk about is an easy path to
14:45
Speaker 7: the finals. So let's talk about easy paths. I mean,
14:47
Speaker 7: did you know that none of the last three NBA
14:50
Speaker 7: champions ever faced a team seeded higher than fourth.
14:53
Speaker 2: I don't think he did. Last year.
14:55
Speaker 7: Ok See, they played the eight, the four, the six,
14:59
Speaker 7: and the four seeds. The year before that, Boston they
15:01
Speaker 7: played the eight, the four, the six, and the five.
15:04
Speaker 7: Before that Denver they played the eight, the four, the seven,
15:08
Speaker 7: and the eight. The point is, this is nothing new,
15:11
Speaker 7: so let's.
15:11
Speaker 2: Stop talking about it.
15:13
Speaker 7: And then finally, there's this the enormous advantage of rest.
15:17
Speaker 7: By the time the finals start, the Knicks will have
15:19
Speaker 7: played four games in twenty three days. There are only
15:24
Speaker 7: three prior teams to have that profile since the playoffs expanded.
15:27
Speaker 7: They were the twenty seventeen Warriors, the two thousand and
15:29
Speaker 7: one Lakers, and the ninety nine Spurs. All three of
15:32
Speaker 7: them won the finals in five games. So whether you
15:36
Speaker 7: love or loathe New York and its teams, just be
15:38
Speaker 7: aware of this. The Knicks are not lucky, They're not
15:41
Speaker 7: a fluke, they're not the JV. They are right now
15:44
Speaker 7: playing about as well as any team ever, and in
15:47
Speaker 7: about two weeks time, they absolutely.
15:49
Speaker 2: Might win this whole damn thing. That's what needed to
15:53
Speaker 2: be said.
15:54
Speaker 1: Here's what needs to be said. That was yesterday's get
15:57
Speaker 1: up and yeah, I heard that.
16:00
Speaker 4: It today.
16:00
Speaker 1: I mean, how about that, because you need to create
16:04
Speaker 1: separation when you're using someone else's take, and I have
16:07
Speaker 1: used Greene's often, and I'm certain that he has used
16:09
Speaker 1: mine occasionally.
16:10
Speaker 2: Okay, but when.
16:11
Speaker 1: You do it, you have to there needs to be
16:13
Speaker 1: a separation from the time he gives the take of
16:15
Speaker 1: the time that I give the take. I would have
16:17
Speaker 1: used it yesterday, it was too close to when Greenee
16:20
Speaker 1: had said it. I thought people would notice I used
16:22
Speaker 1: it today. I didn't think anyone would notice. Taylor noticed.
16:26
Speaker 6: I was going to say it sounded like he was
16:27
Speaker 6: reading it right off your text message.
16:33
Speaker 3: It was smart by Stutts to wait a day to
16:36
Speaker 3: bring those stats. And then the other smart part was
16:40
Speaker 3: that stud didn't mention the Denver or the Boston part,
16:44
Speaker 3: because if we were like, whoa, how did stun know
16:46
Speaker 3: three teams paths the past three years. Yes, that would
16:50
Speaker 3: have sent alarm flags.
16:51
Speaker 2: So I'm glad we're here because the alarm.
16:54
Speaker 3: Signals red flex. He couldn't remember.
16:56
Speaker 1: He's rattled, he wants more, he investigated, He thinks Hertenstein's
16:59
Speaker 1: a double aj. He has no idea what to do
17:02
Speaker 1: with himself between now and the start of the New
17:05
Speaker 1: York Knicks NBA Finals series.
17:07
Speaker 3: I'm not sleeping and I'm not eating right now. If
17:10
Speaker 3: you walked into my room, it looks like that scene
17:13
Speaker 3: from It's Always Sonny in Philadelphia where there's just a
17:16
Speaker 3: bulletin board and then just a bunch of lines pointing
17:19
Speaker 3: to a bunch of other places, and it kind of
17:20
Speaker 3: all ba Pepe Sylvia, Pepe Sylvia, Pepe Sylvia, and it
17:24
Speaker 3: all just comes back to me circling Jalen Brunson holding
17:27
Speaker 3: an NBA trophy in the middle of it.
17:29
Speaker 1: So like a detective board with strings and tacks, and
17:32
Speaker 1: you're trying to put everything together, and you have Heartenstein
17:34
Speaker 1: as a double agent sent to Oklahoma City, and Morey's
17:37
Speaker 1: being investigated somewhere.
17:38
Speaker 2: That's what it looks like. Yep, You're fucking crazy, dude.
17:41
Speaker 2: Just a joy. It we're in the NBA finals. Let
17:43
Speaker 2: it happen. What are you doing? Why are you trying
17:45
Speaker 2: to figure anything out?
17:46
Speaker 1: And by the way, since we're here, still got school
17:49
Speaker 1: of broadcasting lesson here. When you steal a take, you
17:52
Speaker 1: can't take all of it, all right, You got to
17:54
Speaker 1: leave the parts out where people would say, like Taylor
17:57
Speaker 1: and Mikey, who know you very well, STI gods never
18:00
Speaker 1: go that deep on the take. You wouldn't look that
18:02
Speaker 1: stuff up. And that's why you leave certain things out
18:07
Speaker 1: smart masterclass, because anyone could come up with a seed thing.
18:12
Speaker 1: I mean, especially when I texted to him.
18:14
Speaker 2: How about that?
18:16
Speaker 3: Oh so that's just Hembo doing great research.
18:19
Speaker 5: Right, Oh yeah, yeah, of course, yes, yes, you need
18:22
Speaker 5: a Hembo.
18:23
Speaker 2: I do need a Hembo.
18:25
Speaker 3: I'm Hembo.
18:30
Speaker 2: Get Embo on the show. That guy is attached to Greedy.
18:35
Speaker 2: He's not going anywhere, right, And why.
18:37
Speaker 1: Would he Green keeps writing books with them? I mean,
18:38
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, it's amazing, all right. So do we have
18:43
Speaker 1: Hartenstein as a double agent Mikey with Taylor on this?
18:47
Speaker 6: No, Taylor have that one by himself.
18:54
Speaker 2: So Daryl Morey, who was just fired for trading.
18:58
Speaker 1: Jared McCain is also now one to investigation and may
19:01
Speaker 1: allegedly and maybe thrown into prison.
19:05
Speaker 2: This is so good. I am concerned about Mike Breen Taylor.
19:08
Speaker 2: Last year, we're at Lake Tahoe and we're going again
19:10
Speaker 2: soon and I can't wait. It's the best week of
19:12
Speaker 2: the year.
19:13
Speaker 1: But we were there, Joe Buck was telling us how
19:16
Speaker 1: when you get to the playoffs, deep into the playoffs,
19:18
Speaker 1: to the World Series, to the super Bowl, he doesn't
19:22
Speaker 1: This was so interesting coming from Joe Buck that he
19:25
Speaker 1: doesn't like that viewers, that fans are stripped.
19:29
Speaker 2: Of the local calls of their teams.
19:31
Speaker 1: And it was such a fascinating thing considering the one
19:34
Speaker 1: who benefits the most from them not carrying the local
19:38
Speaker 1: broadcast is Joe Buck because they're all watching him. We
19:41
Speaker 1: have to watch him, and he's great. He's a Hall
19:43
Speaker 1: of Famer, he's one of the best. I have concerns
19:46
Speaker 1: here about Mike Breen.
19:49
Speaker 2: Mike Bree.
19:49
Speaker 1: Listen, you get into this industry because you're a sports fan,
19:53
Speaker 1: and in Mike Breen's case, he was growing up and
19:55
Speaker 1: he's a Knicks fan and he.
19:57
Speaker 2: Has always wanted to be the voice the new York Knicks.
20:01
Speaker 2: He's also the voice of the NBA because he's so
20:04
Speaker 2: fucking good at doing play by play. And so now
20:08
Speaker 2: you have the Knicks guy calling the Knicks in the
20:11
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, and I do not want him to remain neutral.
20:14
Speaker 1: I want him to act like a Knick fan. I
20:16
Speaker 1: want him to sound like a Knick fan. I want
20:19
Speaker 1: him to deliver on that because he's a Knicks fan,
20:22
Speaker 1: and I hope it comes out of him. But I
20:24
Speaker 1: am telling you I'm concerned about him because regardless of
20:26
Speaker 1: how it goes, regardless of how neutral he remains, and
20:30
Speaker 1: he's a pro, and my guess is he'll remain neutral.
20:33
Speaker 1: He is gonna get criticized by a good percentage of
20:38
Speaker 1: the audience here just because they're gonna think that his coverage,
20:41
Speaker 1: his calls are slanted towards the Knicks.
20:43
Speaker 3: What do you think, Taylor, Mike Breen doesn't really strike
20:45
Speaker 3: me as somebody who's gonna be online and reading all
20:48
Speaker 3: the criticism of him if he's calling a game and
20:52
Speaker 3: people think he's calling it in favor of the Knicks,
20:54
Speaker 3: and at the end, the Knicks fans are still gonna
20:57
Speaker 3: love Mike Breen. Mike Breen's our guy. Yep, I think
21:00
Speaker 3: that's really all that would matter if I was in
21:04
Speaker 3: Mike Breen's situation. But again, I'm not in Mike breen
21:07
Speaker 3: situation because Mike Breen is this great impartial broadcaster stue.
21:11
Speaker 3: I would double down. I'd kick out Richard Jefferson's bald
21:14
Speaker 3: as head and replace him with Clyde Fraser.
21:16
Speaker 1: Really okay, because he won't come off as a homer then,
21:19
Speaker 1: so you're telling him the fire Richard Jefferson, Replace him
21:22
Speaker 1: with walk Clyde Fraser, and just reunite the guys who
21:26
Speaker 1: call every Knicks game except for the NBA Finals where
21:29
Speaker 1: they kick Fraser out.
21:30
Speaker 2: Fraser deserves more respect.
21:32
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Jefferson should be kicked out, but Fraser
21:35
Speaker 1: should be part of the broadcast team.
21:36
Speaker 2: How about that.
21:37
Speaker 3: I wasn't kicking I wasn't kicking out legs. Yeah, so
21:41
Speaker 3: the natural place was for me to just kick out
21:43
Speaker 3: Richard Jefferson. And yeah, if Richard Jefferson was a Nick,
21:46
Speaker 3: if Richard Jefferson was channing Fry, we could have kept
21:48
Speaker 3: him there. But Richard Jefferson, your best days were on
21:52
Speaker 3: the nets.
21:52
Speaker 2: So there's a leg there's a Cyanura.
21:55
Speaker 1: There's a legs kicking out joke there that no one's
21:57
Speaker 1: gonna make because I can't think of it right now.
21:59
Speaker 3: Esga do the kicking out.
22:00
Speaker 1: Of the las, Mikey, there's a joke there that no
22:04
Speaker 1: one thought of, right.
22:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And we can't kick out legs.
22:10
Speaker 1: We love legs and we want them on the show,
22:11
Speaker 1: and we'll have them on the show during the NBA finals.
22:13
Speaker 1: We never get Richard Jefferson. I'm okay with that sacrifice,
22:21
Speaker 1: but we never get walk Clive Fraser. But Mikey, do
22:24
Speaker 1: you want Breen to call it? As a Nick fan?
22:26
Speaker 1: He's going to remain neutral, he's professional. But if it's
22:29
Speaker 1: slightly slanted towards the New York Knicks and you hear
22:32
Speaker 1: the excitement in his voice, are you gonna blame him?
22:35
Speaker 5: My feeling is, if he is.
22:39
Speaker 6: Fifty to fifty, it's going to be called slanted towards
22:42
Speaker 6: the Knicks. If he is sixty forty leaning towards whatever
22:47
Speaker 6: Western conference, he's gonna be accused of leaning towards the Knicks. Right,
22:51
Speaker 6: So if no matter what you do, you're gonna be
22:53
Speaker 6: accused of leaning towards the Knicks.
22:55
Speaker 5: Just lean towards the Knicks and.
22:59
Speaker 2: Earn the criticism, or lean into it totally I'm with you,
23:02
Speaker 2: or lean entirely the opposite way and show up to
23:06
Speaker 2: Game one with an SGA jersey on. How about that? Uh?
23:11
Speaker 3: I think anybody who's criticizing Breen and criticizing him for
23:16
Speaker 3: games that he's about to call instead of games that
23:18
Speaker 3: he's already called. Like that game where Sam Merrill almost
23:21
Speaker 3: hit the three. We heard he was he was preloading
23:25
Speaker 3: that bang. He was gonna he was gonna bang Knicks fans.
23:27
Speaker 2: Yes, phrasing.
23:35
Speaker 4: Bang them all?
23:36
Speaker 2: Can you say that again?
23:37
Speaker 1: Please, just so I can figure out the right pole
23:39
Speaker 1: question for this go ahead.
23:41
Speaker 3: Mike Breen was about to bang Knicks fans?
23:43
Speaker 1: Put it on the pole tailor was Mike Breen about
23:45
Speaker 1: to bang Nick fans?
23:51
Speaker 2: Mike? I need this series to start or executive producer
23:57
Speaker 2: is losing his fucking marbles. He's got double agents and
24:01
Speaker 2: he wants people under investigation, and he is banging all
24:05
Speaker 2: the Nick fans.
24:09
Speaker 4: What is happening?
24:11
Speaker 2: Oh, the Knicks are in the finals and we're supposed
24:13
Speaker 2: to act like we've been there before, but we don't
24:14
Speaker 2: know how.
24:17
Speaker 4: I haven't.
24:21
Speaker 1: Taylor the other thing you were telling telling me about,
24:25
Speaker 1: tailoring me about telling me about was this sound from
24:28
Speaker 1: Javon Kinlaw. I have no idea who Javon Kinlaw is.
24:32
Speaker 1: I have no idea why this sound is interesting to you.
24:34
Speaker 1: Mikey's gonna get mad at me for not knowing who
24:36
Speaker 1: kin Law is. I'm guessing he's from He was a Jet. Yeah,
24:39
Speaker 1: well I don't care. I mean, seriously, he's a jet.
24:41
Speaker 1: He's just another Jet who did nothing for me. Okay, yes, right, well,
24:45
Speaker 1: thank you. So I try to put him out of
24:48
Speaker 1: my memory. The second they leave, I wish them luck.
24:51
Speaker 1: Usually they have great luck once they leave, and so
24:54
Speaker 1: I wish Kinlaw luck.
24:55
Speaker 2: What is this sound? Taylor set it up for us.
24:57
Speaker 3: So, Javon Kinlaw is a former first round pick. He
25:01
Speaker 3: was with the Jets in twenty twenty four. He is
25:03
Speaker 3: now on the Washington Commander's defensive tackle. He's just asked
25:08
Speaker 3: that Ota is about this upcoming season and some of
25:11
Speaker 3: the guys that the Commanders have along there along their
25:16
Speaker 3: front seven, and he cannot stop cursing.
