  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to the Daily Play with Joy Taylor.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Make sure that you hit subscribe and that you follow
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: us on social at the Daily Play Joy Taylor. So
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: let's get started with the NBA Playoffs Conference Finals.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: The Knicks did.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: What they were supposed to do in Game two, being
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the Calves one oh nine ninety three to take a
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: two to zero lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. So
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the game was all about the Calves letting go of
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the rope in Game one, but Game two was about
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the Knicks dominating and making great adjustments. Cleveland led by
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: three points after the first quarter, but after that was
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: all New York. They dared Josh Hart to shoot all
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: game long, and he went off for twenty six points,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: tying with Donovan Mitchell for the game high and scoring.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: And well, Harden was better tonight scoring eighteen points. Cleveland
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: does need a little bit more from him if they
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: want to get back in the series. After the blow
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the game, Brunson reflected on the grit of his back
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: court partner, saying, we've got to find ways to be effective.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's a long series and they're going to make adjustments
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: when we head to Cleveland. For us, it's about staying
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: locked into the details. Josh was incredible tonight's and taken
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: what the.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Defense gave him. And when we move like that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We ball like that, we're tough to beat. But the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: job isn't done. The job is not done correct.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: This is a.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Great win for the Knicks. It's a win that I'd
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: like to see from a championship run team. Not saying
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: they're gonna win the championship, but I do think throughout
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: championship runs there are always moments where players other than
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the main start step up and have their moments. Josh
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Hart was that tonight, and the Knicks fans are obviously
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: getting exciting Channing Nickson four, I don't think that's going
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to happen. I don't know if it's necessarily going to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: be a long series anymore. A team that goes up
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to own the playoffs wins the series ninety two point
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: six percent of the time, So that's pretty high percentage
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: when down two teams are just thirty four and four
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: twenty five. But it is worth noting that there is
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a lot more parody in the NBA. While it's very rare,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: twenty two of the thirty four comeback series victories have
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: taken place since two thousands, so that is something to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: pay attention to. I don't think that the Calves are
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: going to come back and win this series the way
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: that they are playing right now and the confidence the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Knicks have, but I do think going back to Cleveland,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the energy is going to shift a little bit. Role
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Players obviously always play better when they're at home, so
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I think as a whole, as a collective of the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Calves will play better. I do think losing that big
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: lead in Game one sung a lot. That's a big
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: emotional swing, it's a big mental swing to get over.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So I don't know that they're going to come back
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and win this series after that, but I do think
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: they can still make it tough, and if they step
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: back into their physicality, if they have some role players
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: step up, I think Game three is going to be very,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: very interesting and obviously as a US one at this
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: point for the Calves.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So the NFL off season.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Is heating up, and one of the hottest seats in
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the NFL that continues to stay warm is the Cleveland
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Brown's head coaching job. The newest occupant of that office
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is Todd Monkin, and he has already found himself in
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: what is pretty standard for a Cleveland Brown's head coach,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: which is a quarterback conundrum because they never seem to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: be able to maintain one. He's a quarterback guy, he's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: previously called plays in Baltimore and for the Georgia Bulldogs.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: As it's heading into at least training camp, he is
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: dealing with Deshaun Watson coming off of an achilles' injury,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Schador Sanders and Dylan Gabriel from the twenty twenty five draft,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and Taylan Green, a sixth rounder from the twenty twenty
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: six drafts. Why is this a problem? I am not
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: really sure. He reiterated two points about the quarterback competition
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: between Deshaun Watson and Shaudor Sanders. They're doing well and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the only deadline for the Browns first year coach he
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: has in mind for naming a starter is September thirteenth
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: opener Jacksonvills.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Nothing's really changed. I mean, we're going to rotate those
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: guys and the best player we'll see. Listen.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: A mantra that I always have is that if you
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: have more than one quarterback, you have no quarterback Shaudor
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: played well enough, I believe that he should be the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: starter going into this season. I'm the Cleveland is going
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to Cleveland. This is this is what the Browns do.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: This is a very gettable division. Every single year, somebody
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: finds a way to scrape their way to the top.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: It's obviously incredibly competitive every single year.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But destabilizing the organization by making this into a quarterback
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: competition is just really strange to me. I also feel
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Forestador and Dylan Gabriel having.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: To go through this again. Now.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know that anybody has played well enough to
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: say you're the franchise guy. And obviously just Shuan Watson
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: has earned a ton of money to not play football
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: over the past couple of years, having a fully guaranteed contract,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: but the best guy thing, like, what is that? Just
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: say that you have a starter and then let's go
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: into training camp and see what happens. I just don't
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: take teams seriously that are at this point in the season,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: at really any point in the season and saying that
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: they're are in a quarterback competition. That's not a situation
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that I think is competitive, especially in a division like
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the AFC North. Speaking of quarterback competitions. A team that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't have one of those is the La Rams. They
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: did recently draft Matthew Stafford's replacement, allegedly taking Ty Simpson
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: with the thirteenth overall pick in April's draft, and at
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the time McVeigh said, this is Matthew's team. He said
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: he had told Stafford that the team planned to take
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Simpson at thirteen, but he wanted to keep those conversations
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: between the two of them. When asked about Stafford's reaction
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to the news, he said, oh, he was great. He's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: just stud He's always first class in every sense of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the word. Well, they've backed it up that it's his
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: team because they signed Stafford to a lucrative contract extension.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: He will be making up to six million dollars sixty
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: million dollars with incentives next season, and he will cash
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in on the final year of his previous deal, which
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is worth forty two million dollars this season, So he
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: is now on a two year deal worth up to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: one hundred and five million. If he reaches all of
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: his incentives, he'll make an average of fifty two point
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: five million per year, which would tie him with Justin
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Herbert's as the eighth highest paid quarterback according to over
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the Cap, so that essentially means that ty Simpson will
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: not be the quarterback for at least two years based
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: off of that money. I mean generally money plays a role.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: That kind of money certainly plays a role. And obviously
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford is still playing at the highest level possible
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and they are going for another Super Bowl run.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Now, I think if you are.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: In this situation and using a pick that high on
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a quarterback, when you know that you're going to give
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Stafford this kind of money and you're going to keep
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: him in that position, is it's a little crazy to me,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: but I do. I'm a bit of a Sean McVay zelop.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: So there's a method to their mattus and it does
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: seem to work as they have maintained for the most
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: part being at the top of the NFL and you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: competing deep into the playoffs and for championships. So I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: have to trust that they have a plan they see
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: something that I don't. I just wouldn't have used a
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: pick that high if you know he's not going to
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: be playing relatively soon, but he's going to be able
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to sit behind Matthew Stafford and learn from a great
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: coach and a great quarterback in a great system. So
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you know, I love this for Stafford obviously, I still
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: think he is capable of playing and competing for a championship,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and so do the Rams. And you know, one thing
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you learn about me if you don't know this already,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I am just somebody who really thinks the Rams are
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: an impressive organization. And I think this isn't that Sean
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: McVay runs is just brilliant And you know most of
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the evidences of the proof is in the pudding, as
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: they say. So excited to see what the Rams do
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: this year. Hope you guys have a great weekend. Thanks
