Terminello’s Take Ahead of GAME 2 of the 2026 NBA FINALS 6-5-26 · OneLegUpAlex Sports

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, it's Terminello's take as we're about to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hit game two of the NBA Finals. Firstly, Lou we're
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a month away from fourth of July. How are we
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: this close to that?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: And how are we the NBA Finals already? I feel
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: like we were just talking.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: About, you know, the Knicks perspectives going into the NBA playoffs,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: not this. I mean, it feels like a fast time
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty six.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, Alex, good to be with you. Yeah, it is
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a fast and it's a good time for the Knicks
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. They I mean, they've played, they're
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: well rested. I mean, going into the into Game one
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the other night, they had only played four games in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: twenty three days, which is almost hard to believe, but
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: you know, they have. They had a tremendous win in
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Game one, deserving win, and a lot of things that
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: we talked about last week regarding both teams proved out,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: at least in Game one. The Spurs inexperience. The Spurs
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: didn't seem like they were ready for the moment. It
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: seemed like the Spurs couldn't figure it out, and that
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: went from the players on the court really until right
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: through to coach coach Mitchell Johnson.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It's interesting to say that because yet they were up
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: by twelve or fourteen at one point. I mean, it
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't as drastic as the Cavs.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no no. Now, I'm glad
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that you brought up that fourteen point lead. That was
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: really one of the key thing, the key sections of
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the game. They're up fourteen, they take we Wemby, who
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: did not have a good game. Victor did not have
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a good game on in game one. They take him out.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: The Knicks get it down to five before he comes
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: back in again. I know, I know coaches, and it
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: happened when I was with the Nets. They have okay,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: he's coming out at the eight minute mark, he's coming
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: back in at the six minute mark, he's coming out
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: at the three minute mark. They have this in their head.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: When you're playing the NBA Finals, you gotta go with Field.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I would not have take I've taken Webinar out when
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: they're up fourteen. You should have tried to extend that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to twenty and then maybe the Knicks would have been done.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But they came back with a quick spurt to cut
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it to five, and by the end of the quarter,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: all that work that the Spurs did to get that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: lead was gonna mine. It was you know, I was
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: tired at the end of three at the end of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: three quarters. You know, you really saw a team that
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're multi talented and they're going to be great.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: They're not better than the Knicks, as I said coming in.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: The Knicks are gritty, they have chemistry, they're not afraid,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and they have experience.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And you know what they're doing is the Spurs aren't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: doing as much. I mean, I feel like the Knicks
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: are finally driving the paint. I know there was a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: big three by Brunson, but for the most part, they
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: were not taking wild arig shots like I felt saying
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Antonio was at some point, you know, from beyond the three,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and the Knicks were very disciplined in that way.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: All right, now, I agree with you, And you know
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the thing is, this is how great brunts and is Offensively.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: He can have a bad shooting night. He scored thirty points.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: He had a bad he had a bad game the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: other night, and that that does not bode well for
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: San Antonio moving forward. He really he did not have
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a great game the other night.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: He says, I strive to be perfect. It's like, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you just had thirty points and hit the game game
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: winning shot. How can you not be perfect right now?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You know? Right? So, and they were, they were up
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: ninety four to eighty, and then the Spurs scored nine
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in a row to go up ninety five ninety four.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: But in that Spurs comeback from with that nine point run,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Brunson missed four shots in a row. But when he
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: had hit that shot to put him back up, that
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: three in the corner, and he was only one for
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: eight from three point range at that point, he hit it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: He hit it, and then the next possession Spurs don't score.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: He gets it again. And this little guy little for
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: NBA standards six to one. I don't even know what
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: his real real height is. He's able to create space
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: against vasal and hits that jumper to put them up,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to put them up three. I mean, he's just a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: fade away. I have to say that shot now, that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: was a sweet fade away.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I mean the three was nice, but I often think
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that that two was the game winner right there, because
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I know the three put them up, but that game winner,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that two pointers since strip for them.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they nick scored the last eleven points of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the game. I don't noeals, I.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Don't have noticed this, but there were a couple of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: times where they stole the ball again from San Antonio.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: That defense is something we haven't seen in a little
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: while from this next team. And again, who do I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: talk about all the time? And I said this off
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: their I'm gonna say it on here too. Ananobe feels
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: like the Matsui of this team, Like he's just that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: player that will make all the.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Clutch mo I, yeah, Alex, I totally agree. I totally
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: agree with you. He didn't have a good game the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: other night. But did he hit two big shots in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter? He sure did. And that's that's the difference.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I mean now, as is the rebounding. That that rebounding
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable. It's like the ball can't stay up in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the air more than a second before either cat has it,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Autoobe has it, Hart has it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You know, whate of these guys has well you look
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: at heart, heart bounced around the league. This was this
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: his fourth team, it's fifteen, but this is the team
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that he that he needs to be on a team
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: like that, a team, a contending team like this, where
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: he does all those things that they say you don't
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: really see in the box score, even though he had
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: fifteen rebounds the other night, even though he did not score,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I think, well, he scored three points, five points, but
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: he had a great game. And you need a guy
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: like Heart to win a game like that. The Spurs
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: believe they'll not have more talented guys than Heart, but
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: they don't have They don't have a heart. They don't
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: have heart, and I don't mean heart that they're folding
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: attents like the Cavaliers. They don't have heart. Heart's a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: terrific player for a championship, a team going for the championship,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you gotta have these type of guys to help win
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the championship. And the Knicks have all those type of guys.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And again, you know, I'm no Knicks fan, you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: not at all, but you know they have these guys.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: This is this is a fine team. It really is. Yes,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I do not believe they would have beat in Oklahoma
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: City if Oklahoma City was told, but that's not the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Knicks fall. It's not. And if the Knicks win tonight,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I think they might sweep them, all right.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I want to. I want to just we'll see what
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: happens tonight. But let's go to the other series. Because
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: amidst all of this craziness with the Knicks, then you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: see the billboards on the court and it says Stanley
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Cup Finals on ESPN for two weeks or more, they're
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: gonna have coverage of both of these finals. I mean,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that's a monopoly in away. But good for ESPN for
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: carrying both sports finals. I mean, I remember a network
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that's been like that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Ever that that boll they did. I mean, they did
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that two years ago, and they did you know, every
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: other year since they got the contract. You know, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: guess it's five years now, so this is the third
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: year of that that this is this has happened. Uh,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And it's hey, it's great to that there. And again, yeah,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I know they say the finals on ESPN, but it's
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: really it's really on ABC in the same company, So
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: it's no big deal. And you know, I think all
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: championship series should be on h on ABC. I I'm
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: so glad that it's not on TNT. Just I really
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: am the yeah on either front. I mean, it has
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with the with the talented broadcasters, even
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: though uh you know, we were going back and forth
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: list and I think Sean McDonough and uh Ray Ferraro
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: are the best play by play color combo uh in
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: televised hockey right now. That's that's just my opinion. Yes,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I love Kenny, I love Eddie old Chick, but Ferraro,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Ferraro is, I believe is the is the best, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: they make the game entertaining.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Not that the not last night wasn't entertaining enough. I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: mean I was watching back and forth in the real
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: app and and I was following it, and oh my god.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: The Ks needed that win. Firstly, I don't think you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: can go down against O two against the Knights and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and then go to Vegas down O two.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: So they needed that win.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: They got dramatic fashion, you know, dramatic fashion.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I'm actually very happy at Jacobs, all right. I'm so
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: happy for him because he's been a veteran of that team,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and you know, and KeAndre of course, former ranger.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know, how about form how about former ranger
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Brett Howden, Yeah, Brett Howden. I mean the guy has
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: been spectacular two nights, right, yeah, he has thirteen goals
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. He had twelve and fifty eight games
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: in the regular season. The two goals he scored last
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: night was spectacular. And man, this guy couldn't smell a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: lot of playing time with the Rangers, but he has
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: been a difference maker and he's definitely a constant My
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Trophy candidate. Uh as this playoff final goes on.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And for people don't realize that, yes, a visiting a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: losing team kind of have a trophy.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Yes they have. We we saw it two years ago
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: with Connor McDavid.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and even if he made the right move because
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he just lost the Stanley Cup. I don't know why
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he should accept that anyway, but that that's either Hill
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: or now or they're in this series though it could
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: go seven. Like they just look competitive. It looks back
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and forth. And I said, don't know who I want
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to win, because I mean, Tortorella would be kind of
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: interesting if he won that ring a second time, but
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: ca Andre looks like he needed a fresh start, as
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: did Howden in their respective teams. I mean, it's, uh,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be competitive. But as I said in front
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of the Garden, I said this on Tuesday night, Louis,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'll say it on my podcast here with you. The
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Rangers need to be watching this and studying this series.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You know why, Yes, because not only are that to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you know, all these former guys are on these teams
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: right now, but how do we get the Rangers in
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the next level?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I mean that should be.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Really what Chris Jury should be studying is, Hey, you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: want to get to the championship, focus on what's happening now.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And yes, guys that you let go are now the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cups. That should be an evaluation of itself.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Lily, Yeah, no, A good point two teams got a
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: fun to watch. But I have no skin in the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: hunt on this. But if you say who do you
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: prefer to win? I prefer Carolina win. They've been a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: great franchise for the last twenty years. They haven't they
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: haven't won that Stanley Cups in two thousand and six.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: They have great fans, SODA's Vegas, but Vegas this is
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: their third time in the Stanley Cup final in their
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: first nine years. Vegas didn't have to go through the
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: expansion pain like the Islanders did fifty years ago. When
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they started out twelve sixty and twelve that first year,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: or the Washington Capitals in seventy four to seventy five
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that I believe were eight sixty seven and five or
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: eight sixty seven and six, I mean Vancouver. All these
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: expansion teams were really expansion teams. And I mean, I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: think Vegas has done a great job of getting to
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Playoff contending and Cup contending quickly, and that's a credit
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: to their organization. But if I had to pick who,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: if you say me he got picked one, I would
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: like to see Carolina win. You know, Brenda Moore captain
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Keynes to the two thousand and six. Stanley Cupp now
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: he has a chance to coach them to the two thousands.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So funny because the Kynes have gone for sort of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: those like you wanted to hate them because they beat
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: up on all these teams up here in one way
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: or another. But at the same time, I think they're
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the more lovable team this year. I don't know why,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: but you just.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You want I would agree. I would agree, Alex.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And I think it's because, I mean, you know, yeah,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Vegas expansion. But what we're watching is history. I mean,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Connecticut fans still claimed that they're that ring they won
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: in six was theirs because they just that was their
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: first ring since they moved out of Hartford. I mean, look,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and I was up there for that final game in
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Hartford with my dad.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: He took me up. Oh well, you you were there
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: for that final game. I remember that final game against
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And when I remember most because I was like seven
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: or eight at the time.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I mean I feel old now.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But was that them banging on the boards their final game?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I just yeah, it was. Uh, it was emotional in Hartford.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Fifty years of hockey which people don't really realize, but
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: they just celebrated fifty years of hockey up there because
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Wolfpack continue that tradition and the Wolfpack Avenue coach.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Also, this Leech I believe is their new head coach
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: up there. Yeah. I think they announced the Rangers announced
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that today. Uh. But the one thing about the Carolina Hurricanes,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: they've embraced where they came from. I mean, uh, they
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: they have Hertford Whaler Knights where they wear the Whaler
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: jerseys and they play their famous gold song brass Bonanza.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Last night watching the game, when when Seth Jovis scored
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the winning goal, there was at least one fan right
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: behind the net in the Whaler uniform.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So these guys travel from Hartford to see the game.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: What do you think now that could be. I'm sure
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: there's a there's a Hertford Whaler uh, you know, alumni
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: club or something like that where fans do that. But
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of you see a lot of Whaler jerseys
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: in the stands in Raleigh. So they've done a good
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: job of embracing their former home, as does the as
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: does the Colorado Avalanche, who wear the Nordis jerseys eight
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: ten times a year.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And I believe when they faced each other, they wore
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: their retros and that was pretty good. They did.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: They both when they when they faced each other this year,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: they both wore Carolina was wearing the Whalers and Colorado
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: was wearing And I.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Gotta say, Louis, it looks different on HDTV than it
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: does back in the in the nineties. You know, it's
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: so different how technology makes some looks.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, technology hasn't proved TV so much.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You're right, and I believe the devil speaking of that era,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I think they still wear the green, the green.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Shoulder pad shoulder. Every once in a while they do.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: So they all honor the Islanders. Jersey hasn't really changed
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: as much.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: And it's classic. It's a classic Jersey, no doubt about it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And they don't really have the alternative as much. I mean,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I guess the NYI is their alternative.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: That's I think they started wearing that in Brooklyn. Yeah,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and they've kept it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: But the Rangers alternative, I don't know. They get rid
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of Lady Liberty. I feel like I don't see them
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: wear it as much anymore.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't seen Later Liberty in a while. That
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: was okay, that was That was all right.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: But we talked like this, and maybe it seemed like rambling.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: But I know that we have hockey fans that love
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: talking nostalgic stuff, you know, so this is right up
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: people's alley.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: So no doubt about it. I mean that Whale of
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Jersey was classic. That was beautiful Jersey that the Whalers had.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And Brest Financial. Yeah, you have the.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Question, did you ever get up to Hartford to see
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a game?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I never did, and I had I always wanted to,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: and I never did. I know a lot of my
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: friends who went to a hockey freaks went I just
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: you know, during that time with the Nets, I was
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: busy during the hockey season. I still follow hockey as
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: much as I do now, but I was busy, you know,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I was busy. Was sometimes hard to get away.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I wanna we gotta talk about this because sports gods
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: have a funny way of giving the it, give it
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and take it away, right, So yes, they do. Last year,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: when the Knicks won a big game, I think it
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: was against the Celtics. If you remember, Oswaldo Kaber had
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a devastating injury sliding it home against the Mariners like
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: an hour after the Knicks were in Ufoury after winning
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I think against the Celtics. So I'm like, something's gonna
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: happen here if we go to the finals and win.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Sure enough, Aaron Judge four to six weeks now, he
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: says this thing happened in April.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: In April, not May. There's a whole lot.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Of confusion about when this actually happened. But I'm gonna hear.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it from the man himself. He's not
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: been comfortable, and I guess that's why he's on the il.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He wasn't comfortable through the series against Sacramento or whatever
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: they're called now, the athletics h So he basically said
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I think he basically said he's in and then they
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: go and do these evaluations.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Four to six weeks.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: See, Boone's mistake was he kept hiding it. It seemed like
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: he wasn't really being clear about it. Meanwhile, a lot
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of people behind the scenes do this was pretty bad.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Well, you could looking back now that we know that
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: he's injured, and his production the last three four weeks
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: has been minimal. He went well eleven games without driving
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: in a run. He must have been hurt for a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: long time. And this is a huge injury. This is
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: a huge injury. And you know they say four to
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: six weeks, but if you really read between the lines,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: they said reevaluate in four to six weeks. So what
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: does that mean after that?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, I think the Yankees are
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: in good hands with veteran presences like Cody and Goldschmidt
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and then the youngster Ben Rice. I think they're in
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: better hands than they were in twenty three when he
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: completely went down, because I didn't even have jazz.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And if you think about it, so there's.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Some improvements made to this team from then, and I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: think they can carry it. But I tell you, I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: know the Red Sox are under five hundred, but you
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: better believe the pressure is going to be on them
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: and win this series because they want to show the league, hey,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: without Judge, we can still do it. There's pressure. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: know the Knicks are overshadowing everything right now. They are,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: but New York still cares about its teams and they're
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: gonna keep an eye on how the Yanks do against
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I guarantee that, no no doubt, and especially after that.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm going tonight because a watch party tickets
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars. I'd rather see how the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Yanks are going to do without Judge.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: You know, that's kind of my big year, So Alex,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a watch party inside the garden or.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: A Reselle tickets are going for one to fifty or
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: so in the garden it's in and that's about one
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty five dollars profit because their garden originally
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: sold them for ten dollars.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: But this is inside the garden or is it outside?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: So it's inside the garden. And I think what makes
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: them more appealing is the court. You know, they have
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the NBA Finals on the court, they have the trophy
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: on the court.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I did not think they are charging one
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars to theirs, not.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Them, It's it's the resellers like vivid seats and all
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: that they are though.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so what what's what's the faith value? Do
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: you know? Ten dollars? But it also doubt early So okay,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: oh my god, Alex, go home and watch it on
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: your HDT.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm going to Yankee stadon because I still
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: want to watch my friends nay for twenty nine dollars.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll do it that way.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, but look, uh, it'll be an interesting few
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: weeks because look, the Rays aren't going away. I don't
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: think dave any other competition in the L in the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Al East right now, but the Rays aren't going away
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: as far as the wald guard goes, the Guardians, the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: White Sox. There's a lot of competition this year that
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: we don't usually see in the AL like the White
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Sox per se, although look at them. Murrah Comedy I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: think is out. He's out six yeah, six weeks, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: that's a big loss of them, because.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: My god, the guy wasna The guy was on pace
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: at sixty one home runs or something before he got hurt.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: If if the Yankees were in the National Geese with
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the Phillies and the Braves, I would say this judge
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: injury puts them in a tough spot, but they're not.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: If Toronto gets their injured guys back, can they become
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: a threat? Maybe the Red Sox. I don't know what
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the heck's going on with them, but uh, this is
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: a major injury, Alex, this is a major injury. So
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see if they can hold on.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I think they come about to jump on the board
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: with Arthur I Dallas, so let me do that and
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: produce Them's go here. But I always love talking to Louis,
• 20:45

• 20:47
