  Speaker 1: subscribe and of course follow us on social at the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Daily Play Joy Taylor. Whoo listen. I know that some
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: people think that the first round of the NBA Playoffs
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: should be short and sweet, get right to it, get
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to the real competition. But this first round of the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: playoffs has really delivered some incredible series and some incredible moments.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So for all of us outing the Knicks, they said,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I A I A delivered one of the biggest beatdowns ever.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: They finished off the Hawks in Atlanta one forty eighty nine,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a fifty one point victory. Crazy kat had a triple double,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: all five Knick starters in double figures, and all fifteen
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Knicks played and scored just an un believable beats out.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: What happened, Atlanta? What happens? You had New York shook,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and they came out and absolutely beat down Atlanta. You
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: couldn't even believe the score. So the Knicks are headed
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference semifinals, a historic dismantling of the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks. In a win or go home scenario for Atlanta,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the Knicks responded they were tired of everyone doubting them.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: A ridiculous thirty five to six run in the first quarter.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Never looks back fifty one points, biggest playoff win in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: franchise history. Og And and nobi On questioned MVP of the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: night twenty nine points. Karl Anthony Towns logged his second
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: triple double of the series at the Hawks season is over.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: After the blowout, Jalen Brunson spoke about the team's mentality, said,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's like a chess match. Someone has to make a move,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you got the other move. You had to wait and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: see what they're going to do. But I think the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: way we prepare, we've got to be ready for anything.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I've got to keep them off balance somehow, where they
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: were way more than off because Atlanta didn't even show
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: up for this game, a close out game at home
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: by fifty one points. Hugh, A disgrace, a disgrace. It's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: just it's just crazy. It's it was honestly different, very
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: difficult to watch. I don't know how you even bounce
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: back from that, Like you've you've got to make changes.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: If that's the way that's your season ends, it's just
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. So the Knicks joined the Spurs and the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Thunder in the second round of the playoffs. Obviously, I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: think okay See and san Antonio are on another level,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but I don't know, man the Knicks. The Knicks stumbled
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a bit in this first series, and then they ended
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it in really really convincing fashion. There's nothing that you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: can question about how that went down, So you got
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to give it up to them for that kind of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a beats down. Also, Thursday night's NBA lineup included the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: sixth installment of Celtics Sixers, which has also been a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: really fun series to watch, but a little confusing because
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: we certainly thought that the Celtics going into this were
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: going to be a tough handle for the Sixers, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I really want to watch a Nick Celtics rematch. But
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the Sixers have really impressed. They got a very commanding
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: win one oh six ninety three over the Celtics, so
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: they have now overcome a three to one series deficit
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and forced a Game seven despite being blown out by
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: thirty two points twice in this series. They had a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: big performance from Paul George, another steady night for Tyrese Maxi,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and of course, you know you got to give it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to Joel Embiid for coming back and contributing as well. So,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I really think that the Celtics are the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: better team here, but they've been held under one hundred
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: points in consecutive games. They're settling for jumpers, they don't
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: want to go into the paint, and you know it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough for Philly obviously to win game seven
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: unprecedented actually, but they're rolling now like they have the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: momentum and the Celtics will have gone to seven games
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in the first rounds of the playoffs. Now, I think
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Celtics are the team that will end up going
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to the finals, but struggling this much in the first
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: round of the playoffs, having to put it together to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: go against a very motivated and Knicks team that has
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: truly put together a really, really incredible ending to a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: series that they were questioned in. This is going to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see if they do make it to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the second round, which I believe that they will, how
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the Celtics look up against the Knicks. Also, congratulations to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves, who somehow managed to knock out the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Nuggets without Anthony Edwards, without the Vincenzo and without Ayo Desumo,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: winning one ten ninety eight. Jaden McDaniels delivered a win
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: for the Wolves, game high thirty two points and a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: crucial steal in the final minutes. Incredibly impressive. Just absolute
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: guts from Minnesota. I really hope they can get some
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: health back into the next rounds. They'll face the Spurs
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in the conference semifinals starting on Monday. But what is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: going on with the Nuggets? Listen, the basketball gods gave
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you opportunity after opportunity after opportunity when it comes to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the health of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and they still couldn't
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: get it done. I mean, listen, I don't want to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: get dramatic. You know Jokic's he seems like a one
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: team guy, but this is this is a really bad loss.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you have three guys out for the Timberwolves,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: they have lost all momentum when it comes to health.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They have to make all the pivots and adjustments, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you still lose in the first rounds of them. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: don't know. The Nuggets have a lot of questions for me,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: but again, really exciting first round of the playoffs. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see what happens in the second rounds
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and how the rest of these series that are still
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: going finish up. We have been really blessed as NBA
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: fans to watch this kind of basketball. For more on
