• 2:21
  I want to give a shout out to Blue Wire.
• 2:23
  I know I announced it last week at the end of our show, but I
• 2:27
  want to make a huge announcement today and forever we will will
• 2:31
  be airing and our show will be one of the hosted shows on the
• 2:37
  podcast organization Blue Wire moving forward for the next
• 2:41
  year. We signed a contract over the
• 2:43
  last past, I would say 82 to 83 hours.
• 2:47
  I, I can't give you the exact number, but we are signed.
• 2:51
  We are will be airing on Blue Wire.
• 2:53
  Our podcast will be amongst 200 shows on Blue Wire
• 2:58
  Entertainment, so we're very excited about that.
• 3:00
  So all the fans that didn't know that or didn't stay on the show
• 3:03
  last Thursday all the way to the end when we had analytics, which
• 3:07
  probably scared people away with some of the craziness in the
• 3:10
  antics that we usually pull at the end of the show.
• 3:13
  Ladies and gentlemen, we are now one of many shows, but some of
• 3:18
  the top shows in America on the one and only Blue Wire.
• 3:21
  So that is a huge announcement and that's what we wanted to let
• 3:24
  every fan know. Jabba, how are you?
• 3:27
  Good man got Carter's dorm fridge back.
• 3:31
  I'm glad that fridge can't talk because I don't know what went
• 3:35
  on down in or around so well, got all that, got all that
• 3:40
  cleaned up and he just went back.
• 3:43
  They got they got round two of the playoffs starting tomorrow.
• 3:46
  They won their first round. Yeah, they, they they played
• 3:50
  best. It's it's weird how junior
• 3:52
  college works. They play instead of like you
• 3:54
  know when you do like conference tournaments, they do it series
• 3:58
  wise. So they it's best out of three
• 4:00
  right when they when they get into the post season.
• 4:02
  Don't they do that in the major leagues in the first round?
• 4:04
  They do it best out of five. Is that what?
• 4:06
  No, no wild card? They do best out of three in the
• 4:08
  wild card. Yeah, Wild card switch because
• 4:11
  it was just one game and then they switch it to a series,
• 4:14
  which which I like, but yeah, I just I just usually thought with
• 4:17
  like conference tournaments, it was like a double elimination.
• 4:21
  But yeah, they they do it different here, so.
• 4:24
  Hold on, it was. It's just, it's the play in.
• 4:26
  It's not the wild card. It's the play.
• 4:28
  In No, it's a play in. Yes, that they play three games
• 4:31
  best out of three and whoever whoever wins those three games
• 4:35
  or one, two out of those three games move on to the Wild Card
• 4:38
  series. So.
• 4:39
  Yeah, because it's only basketball and hockey that are
• 4:41
  all 7 seven game series, right? Oh yeah, Oh yeah, and.
• 4:44
  Basketball used to be 5 so. I wait like we had our 20 year
• 4:47
  anniversary of our College World Series win on Friday, bunch of
• 4:53
  the 80s guys reunion. And so we were in the suite.
• 4:56
  I mean, I ate way too much and then we had all kinds.
• 5:00
  Not a chance you. Too much if it's if it's free
• 5:04
  dog I am crushing. I figured that's what you would
• 5:07
  do. I I do, I believe that.
• 5:10
  But you know what, it's crazy because I don't really when I go
• 5:13
  to those events and I I'm a DJMCI went to a wedding.
• 5:16
  I don't really, I, I am see the wedding this weekend on Saturday
• 5:19
  and I, I don't really eat on at those weddings because I don't
• 5:23
  want to get sick. And when I'm dancing and I'm
• 5:25
  emceeing and making sure that I'm making everybody happy
• 5:29
  during the party, including the bride, who I'm not going to say
• 5:32
  it on that on air because she might be listening.
• 5:35
  I don't want to throw her under a bus, but she was a mean old
• 5:37
  bitch. So I, yeah, it was one of those
• 5:40
  weddings, but she wasn't mean to me, but she was mean to the DJ
• 5:44
  and the roadie that was working with me.
• 5:47
  So I, they were like, Oh my God, I did.
• 5:50
  What does she think she's at bridezilla or something like
• 5:52
  that? I was like, I don't know, she
• 5:54
  wasn't mean to me. I went upstairs, had a nice
• 5:56
  conversation with her and her husband was cool.
• 5:59
  As you know what, I'm not going to say anything bad about him
• 6:02
  and a great Greek family. I'm not.
• 6:04
  I'm not into going to Greek weddings because for some reason
• 6:07
  they're so damn picky. But this particular wedding was
• 6:10
  pretty cool. I actually had a lot of fun.
• 6:13
  They at the end of the party, they were dancing without their
• 6:15
  shirts. So I've never seen that before.
• 6:19
  No, here's the crazy thing. I've done so many weddings.
• 6:22
  I've I've been involved with over 5000 weddings and I've
• 6:26
  never ever at the end of a wedding, during a wedding or
• 6:29
  before a wedding, see the groomsmen take off their short
• 6:33
  shirts bare chested and danced around in a circle.
• 6:36
  All right, It was crazy. And and by the way, half of
• 6:39
  these guys don't have good bods, man.
• 6:40
  So if they're trying to impress their women, they definitely
• 6:44
  didn't do that. So I mean, it was, it was
• 6:48
  horrible. Agent Agent got married and by
• 6:53
  the end of the night my tie was around my head, my shirt was
• 6:55
  undone and I was singing. Well, I could see you doing
• 6:59
  that. I could see you doing.
• 7:00
  That it was fantastic. Well, I crashed.
• 7:02
  I did crash one wedding too. I've crashed one wedding.
• 7:06
  I used to crash weddings when I was younger and before the
• 7:10
  wedding crashers came out, I used to do that and me and my
• 7:13
  friends on Saturday and Sunday where it wasn't just weddings,
• 7:16
  we would crash bar mitzvahs. Bar mitzvahs because you know,
• 7:19
  when you go to a bar and bar mitzvah, there's a million
• 7:21
  family members because every single one of your cousins have
• 7:25
  six or seven kids. So there's like 80, you know,
• 7:28
  nieces and nephews and cousins and aunts and uncles.
• 7:32
  So I show up there with I, I did it a couple times.
• 7:35
  I showed up to 1 with one or two of my friends.
• 7:37
  I put on a yarmulke and I'm hanging out.
• 7:39
  I'm doing the the old dance in the middle of the circle,
• 7:42
  lifting up the chairs of the the newlyweds and, you know, I get
• 7:46
  to eat for free, eat some nice dessert and, you know, enjoy
• 7:49
  myself. So obviously.
• 7:51
  And by the way, snug. That is not true kiss my rear
• 7:54
  end. But nevertheless, I will say
• 7:57
  this. It was an interesting weekend
• 8:00
  and definitely interesting weekend in sports.
• 8:03
  We're going to bout we're about to get into maybe be an absolute
• 8:06
  debacle of a series because if the Knicks don't pull this one
• 8:10
  out, they were embarrassed in game number three.
• 8:12
  It was the worst loss in New York Knick history at a home
• 8:16
  game in a in any kind of series. So it was embarrassing what the
• 8:20
  Knicks put up and and they look like they didn't even show up to
• 8:23
  the game. I, I, I don't it looks like
• 8:25
  Jalen Bronson was hanging out at a movie theater with his newly
• 8:28
  acclaimed wife. I mean, but which by the way,
• 8:31
  her last name is Marx before she married into the Brunson family.
• 8:35
  So maybe she's related to me. I don't know.
• 8:37
  But nevertheless, the Knicks didn't look like the Knicks like
• 8:40
  they were in game one and Game 2.
• 8:42
  Hopefully they figured out they're at home again tonight.
• 8:46
  If it's packed stadium, people are looking to see like just an
• 8:50
  absolute fireworks and we haven't seen it yet.
• 8:53
  Speaking of the Knicks, we're going to get into that right
• 8:55
  now. The Celtics blew out the Knicks
• 8:57
  in Game 3/1, 15 to 93, to get their first win of the series.
• 9:02
  After shooting 25% from three in the first two games, the Celtics
• 9:07
  shot 50%. Twenty for 40 in game #3 It
• 9:11
  seems like they're not quitting on the three pointer.
• 9:14
  The Celtics scored 71 points in the first half, the second most
• 9:18
  points for any team in the playoffs behind a Thunder.
• 9:21
  Jalen Bronson and Karl Anthony Towns combined had 48 of the
• 9:25
  Knicks 93 points in the game. The Knicks fans were also seen
• 9:30
  as sarcastically cheering for Mitchell Robertson when he shot
• 9:34
  free throws and he went for of 12 at the free throw line.
• 9:39
  If free throw line. The Knicks are still in the lead
• 9:43
  in the series two games to 1 as they move on to game #4 which is
• 9:47
  about to start at Madison Square Garden.
• 9:50
  Well, if you're a Knicks fan, you sit here and you wonder, is
• 9:53
  this the same old Knicks? Are we going to have the
• 9:56
  opportunity to watch the Knicks botch this one up?
• 10:00
  Once again, this isn't A-Team, A-Team in an organization over
• 10:04
  the years, as we all remember the Carmelo Anthony Knicks or
• 10:07
  even the 90s Knicks 99, that was the last time we seen the Knicks
• 10:11
  in the Finals where they had to make acrobatic circus shots.
• 10:15
  Go ask Grandma Ma, Mr. Johnson, or any one of those players on
• 10:20
  that team. And it was Patrick Ewing's final
• 10:22
  year as a New York Knick as he was traded to the SuperSonics in
• 10:25
  the offseason. But again, I look at this Knick
• 10:29
  team, I don't know if they have that in them.
• 10:31
  I, I think that this team has heart.
• 10:33
  I think they have actually. Josh Hart, who's been amazing in
• 10:37
  this series, didn't seem to show up in game #3 but half of the
• 10:40
  players didn't. As much as everybody thinks
• 10:42
  Jaylen Brunson showed up with his numbers, he didn't look that
• 10:45
  good either. And that's a big problem.
• 10:47
  If Jaylen Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns don't show up and
• 10:51
  Mitchell Roberts can't hit free throws, there's a problem
• 10:54
  because you know what the Celtics are going to do later in
• 10:57
  the game, They're going to play hack a Mitch.
• 11:00
  And that is what this team is planning to do.
• 11:03
  They don't want anybody else to go to the free throw line
• 11:06
  because Mitchell Robertson can't hit a lick.
• 11:08
  I don't understand why Tom Thibodeau during the you know,
• 11:13
  the every 24 hours where they have a time to practice and go
• 11:17
  out there, why isn't he stick Mitchell Robertson at the free
• 11:19
  throw line and have him shoot 300 free throws?
• 11:22
  Because if this guy can't hit a free throw, this team is not
• 11:26
  going to win down the stretch. This has been a huge problem
• 11:30
  since he's come back. No, Mitchell Robertson isn't a
• 11:33
  good free throw shooter, but again, Mitchell Robinson has to
• 11:36
  do better than that if they expect to compete against a team
• 11:40
  that is undersized. Say whatever you want about the
• 11:42
  Celtics. They're not a big team.
• 11:44
  They have commit. They have some players that it
• 11:46
  stand out. I mean, Al Horford and you do
• 11:49
  obviously have Jason Tatum and Porzingis, who's not 100%
• 11:52
  healthy, but Porzingis has been up and down in this series and I
• 11:55
  wouldn't bet on Porzingis more than probably 15 to 20 minutes
• 11:59
  in this series moving forward. He's not 100% healthy and I
• 12:03
  don't expect him to play healthy moving forward in the playoffs.
• 12:07
  Nevertheless, the Knicks are the bigger and there's the stronger
• 12:11
  team and they have the better of the starting lineups.
• 12:13
  As far as I'm concerned. The first six guys matched up to
• 12:17
  the Celtics, I would say the Knicks are better than because
• 12:20
  Porzingis is an and healthy. Obviously whites up and down.
• 12:25
  We all know what obviously what they're the point guard position
• 12:28
  is. They're not 100% healthy over
• 12:30
  there in any kind of way. And they're two guys, Jaylen
• 12:34
  Brown and Jayson Tatum are up and down one place.
• 12:37
  Well, the other one doesn't it all.
• 12:39
  All it takes is one of these guys to wake up and both of them
• 12:42
  play good. As we saw in game #3 it's going
• 12:45
  to be a problem and the Knicks have to get into one of these
• 12:49
  guys heads. Make Jayson Tatum shoot the ball
• 12:51
  more, make him force forced him to shoot 3 pointers that he's
• 12:55
  uncomfortable shooting because when he is comfortable and he
• 12:58
  gets his rhythm, he is almost impossible to defend.
• 13:03
  And again, Karl Anthony Towns wake the hell up defensively.
• 13:07
  You don't have to be the best defender.
• 13:08
  You just need to wake up and do something on the defensive side
• 13:11
  of the boards and you don't do that on the offensive side of
• 13:14
  the boards. You played, you played very well
• 13:16
  on a defensive side. You've been up and down, you've
• 13:19
  looked horrible and and again, this is a Celtic team that isn't
• 13:22
  100% healthy. Porzingis isn't 100% healthy,
• 13:26
  which I said this and Fish would would absolutely agree to this.
• 13:30
  Before the series series started, I told Fish, I said,
• 13:33
  you know, the secret of this series, this secret of this
• 13:36
  series is Kristaps Porzingis. If Porzingis scores 20 to 25
• 13:41
  points, the Celtics are going to absolutely cream the New York
• 13:44
  Knicks. The Knicks right now are right
• 13:46
  now in a lucky position because Porzingis once again isn't 100%
• 13:51
  healthy. So you you sit here and you
• 13:52
  wonder why the Knicks laid up a lousy goose egg at Madison
• 13:56
  Square Garden in game number 3115 to 93.
• 13:59
  Here's the reason why. Tom Thibodeau and his rotations.
• 14:03
  When he gets caught up in the mix in the late third quarter
• 14:06
  and fourth quarter, he depends too much on Bronson.
• 14:09
  He forces his rotation to go that route throughout the game,
• 14:14
  especially at the end of the game.
• 14:16
  And he doesn't realize, hey, you know what, maybe I put Josh Hart
• 14:19
  on the bench. Let him be my 6th man in the
• 14:22
  second-half and bring them in when we're in trouble with foul
• 14:25
  trouble or we bring them in when he need we need a important
• 14:28
  steel or important rebound and and make him earn his minutes.
• 14:33
  Because as good as Josh Harts been in this series and he's
• 14:36
  been very reliable, Josh Hart plays too many minutes And and
• 14:40
  again, Tom Table toys train these guys to do that.
• 14:43
  But when you play too many minutes and you beat up your
• 14:45
  body, this is when you're not playing at the top of your game.
• 14:48
  This is when you wonder if Josh Hart is consistent enough to be
• 14:53
  your starter in this rotation. So, and I know everybody's going
• 14:56
  to say, well, what happened to Mikhail Bridges?
• 14:58
  What happened to him in that, in that in that game, here's what
• 15:01
  happened. They stop rotating and moving
• 15:05
  the ball on the perimeter when they fall behind as much as they
• 15:08
  do that in the first two games, games when they fell behind,
• 15:11
  they moved the ball. They got it to OG, they got it
• 15:13
  to Mckell Bridges, they got it to the open man.
• 15:15
  All of a sudden at Madison Square Garden in front of their
• 15:18
  home fans, what did they stop? They started to play that same
• 15:22
  game that the old Knicks used to do with Carmelo Anthony.
• 15:25
  They say get out of the hell, get the hell out of the way and
• 15:29
  let Jalen Bronson take over the game.
• 15:31
  And that doesn't work against the Celtics.
• 15:33
  You got to move the ball around the perimeter.
• 15:36
  If you don't play that way that way and you don't rotate the the
• 15:40
  ball around the court, then they're going to guess and
• 15:43
  they're going to guess, right, which they did.
• 15:44
  And and by the way, the Celtics absolutely out rebounded the New
• 15:48
  York Knicks in game #3 you cannot let the Celtics, who are
• 15:52
  undersized right now without Porzingis playing the minutes
• 15:55
  that he usually plays. You should not let Porzingis or
• 15:59
  any of those players out rebound you, especially with Mitchell
• 16:03
  Robinson, who's one of the best offensive and defensive
• 16:05
  rebounders in the league, Carl Anthony Towns, who's been one of
• 16:08
  the best rebounders in the league, especially or on the
• 16:11
  offensive side of the board. And and then you have Josh Hart,
• 16:14
  who's averaging almost 10 rebounds throughout the playoffs
• 16:17
  and Ogi Ananobi that's averaging about six to seven rebounds a
• 16:20
  game during the playoffs. This is a good rebounding team.
• 16:23
  They should not let a lonely and weak Celtic team that likes to
• 16:28
  shoot and force up threes beat you on the boards.
• 16:31
  And also, you look at the when when they got the rebounds with
• 16:34
  Mitchell Robinson, he was hacked every time.
• 16:36
  So they didn't get much offense out of it either.
• 16:38
  The Celtics had a lot of second chance points comparatively
• 16:40
  because they pass the ball out, not just either try to dunk it
• 16:43
  back or have Mitchell Robinson shoot free throws, which is
• 16:45
  obviously turn out to be a disaster.
• 16:46
  Like you were saying 4 for 12 is not ideal circumstances.
• 16:49
  That's a 33% field goal rate free throw rate for Mitchell
• 16:52
  Robinson. And you were mentioning too with
• 16:54
  the ball movement. Like I think Jalen Brunson did a
• 16:55
  good job creating his own shots, but his passing decisions were I
• 16:58
  think kind of off at certain points to Josh Hart.
• 17:00
  I'm going to give a little bit of a pass to because he was open
• 17:02
  on on the three a lot in the first quarter.
• 17:04
  And I think even in the second quarter when he came back in and
• 17:07
  they weren't passing the ball at all, like just because he had a
• 17:10
  hot hand though, they don't go too back to him and just didn't
• 17:12
  really make much sense. OG and Anobi too was shooting
• 17:15
  very awkward shots as well, like he was when he was driving in
• 17:18
  the hoop. He was turning around a lot like
• 17:20
  Carmelo Anthony, but without the floor spacing that Carmelo
• 17:22
  Manthey had in his prime. It was just very awkward
• 17:25
  offensive styles of game. And that's the not ideal
• 17:27
  circumstances. You want and.
• 17:28
  You fish Fish if Fish is posting right now and I see what he's
• 17:31
  saying that the Knicks out rebounded the Celtics in game #3
• 17:34
  no, they didn't. Because at the end of the game,
• 17:36
  that was when the Knicks were rebounding.
• 17:38
  The Knicks were in the fourth quarter, they were down by 9
• 17:41
  rebounds and then the Celtics were absolutely dominating.
• 17:44
  So the Celtics were allowing them to get back in the
• 17:47
  rebounds. It wasn't even close the Celtics
• 17:50
  at the end of the game because it was so they were so fast
• 17:53
  moving around the the second-half in the third quarter
• 17:56
  and they they out rebounded him so much in the first half and at
• 18:00
  in the beginning of the third quarter.
• 18:02
  The Knicks had no chance of catching up to the Celtics again
• 18:05
  like they did in game #1 and game #2.
• 18:08
  That's why at the end of the game, go watch the game over
• 18:11
  again. The last 8 minutes of the game
• 18:13
  when the game was over, that was when the Knicks started
• 18:17
  rebounding the ball. That was when the Celtics didn't
• 18:19
  care about rebounding the ball. Yeah.
• 18:22
  And also you look at the flaws that the Knicks had in the
• 18:24
  second-half of the season where two things we were concerned
• 18:26
  about was bench points and perimeter defense at certain
• 18:28
  points. Because the Knicks were I think
• 18:30
  6th worst in the second-half of the season when it came to
• 18:32
  guarding the three. And they never adjusted to guard
• 18:34
  the top of the key 3 at all whatsoever.
• 18:36
  You start A to make a couple shots there.
• 18:39
  Derek White made it a deeper one at the top of the key and never
• 18:41
  adjusted. And that's the things that we
• 18:43
  were praising Tom Thibodeau for when the Knicks won game one,
• 18:46
  like they were finally making adjustments to get the Celtics
• 18:48
  maybe either shooting more threes or shooting them in less
• 18:51
  comfortable spots. And now they just kept rolling
• 18:53
  with that top of the key 3. When Peyton Pritchard came in
• 18:55
  the game, he kind of did the the wing three a little more often
• 18:58
  and the Knicks never adjusted to that either.
• 19:00
  And then the bench scoring, it was nonexistent once again,
• 19:02
  Miles McBride at five points, I think that led all the bench
• 19:04
  players like that. You're not going to be able to
• 19:06
  beat the Celtics like that, Miles McBride.
• 19:07
  Sticks, I don't he should not make the team next year.
• 19:10
  If I were the Knicks, they gave him a a three-year extension.
• 19:14
  What was it last year? He has two years left on his
• 19:16
  extension or one more year. I would move McBride in the
• 19:19
  offseason if a team needs a point guard as we saw what they
• 19:22
  did with Emmanuel quickly. I think that's what the Knicks
• 19:25
  should do Trade McBride if Karl Anthony Towns doesn't work with
• 19:29
  some of the other guys that they have on this roster right now.
• 19:31
  This team will never win a championship because Porzingis
• 19:35
  is not 100% and they still can't compete in a game.
• 19:39
  Really the series has been the battle of second halves.
• 19:43
  It really has been. The Knicks show up in the
• 19:45
  second-half in the first two games.
• 19:47
  They won both those two games, especially in the fourth quarter
• 19:50
  and the overtime in the third game.
• 19:53
  They absolutely got demolished in the first half and pretty
• 19:56
  much got demolished in the second-half.
• 19:58
  The Knicks were playing catch up really throughout that game and
• 20:01
  it was it was expected. I don't know why any Knick fan
• 20:04
  thought that the Boston Celtics were going to go to Madison
• 20:07
  Square Garden and not show. Up after being pulverized by
• 20:11
  every single person when it came to the media.
• 20:14
  All, all for really for the 2448 hours before the game.
• 20:19
  So I expected this to happen. Now the Knicks are going to have
• 20:23
  to put the Band-Aid on. They're going to have to stop
• 20:25
  the bleeding if they expect to win this series.
• 20:29
  They cannot leave Madison Square Garden not winning one of these
• 20:32
  games. Yeah, I just, I just hope it
• 20:34
  doesn't carry over. As you know, we see that
• 20:37
  sometimes you go in, you go into Boston and absolutely do what
• 20:40
  they did. And then you go home and, you
• 20:43
  know, now you got people paying crazy amounts of money for
• 20:45
  tickets because they're like, oh, this is a new year, this is
• 20:48
  a new team. And if you looked at game three
• 20:51
  to the turnovers, they were 9:00 to 9:00.
• 20:53
  So it wasn't like they killed themselves.
• 20:54
  Yeah, Brunson did for some passes.
• 20:57
  But you know, it just it was, it was glaringly obvious that we we
• 21:00
  didn't expect a sweep, I don't think, obviously.
• 21:03
  And we knew it was going to happen.
• 21:05
  And you guys see it, you know, closer than I do being being
• 21:09
  there and hear all the the media market stuff.
• 21:11
  And you know how they're going to come out.
• 21:13
  They they're going to keep shooting.
• 21:14
  It's it's like they said, you miss 100, you take 100 more,
• 21:17
  you're going to shoot yourself out of the slump.
• 21:19
  And you know, they're just they, they have too much talent.
• 21:22
  And I think I think Tibbs needs to you're right and understand
• 21:26
  the rotation and, you know, use those guys.
• 21:29
  And, and we've seen, you know, when they called the when Magic
• 21:32
  Johnson called out Reddick, when, you know, he played his
• 21:36
  starting 5 the whole second-half didn't rest him.
• 21:38
  Didn't. I mean, I'm not saying you have
• 21:39
  to go 9 deep, but hey, we're, we're deep into the season and,
• 21:44
  you know, let let's manage this a little bit better where you're
• 21:46
  not running out of juice at the end and just have nothing.
• 21:49
  I think if he finds a better way to manage the lineup and
• 21:53
  Boston's shooting the ball great tonight too.
• 21:55
  So you know, you knew it was going to happen.
• 21:57
  So it it'll be interesting to see how he combats playing from
• 22:02
  behind and if and if he does. Make Jabba.
• 22:04
  This has been going on really throughout this series.
• 22:07
  They fall behind so badly and they got to play catch up.
• 22:11
  They can hit early in the game, they fall like behind like 20 or
• 22:15
  18 points and then all of a sudden OG Ananobi hits a three.
• 22:19
  Mikhail Bridges figures it out. Jalen Bronson figures it out.
• 22:22
  Why aren't these guys starting off strong?
• 22:24
  I don't get it. You're practicing.
• 22:26
  You had 24 hours to figure out, hey, maybe we need to pace,
• 22:30
  speed up the pace, make the pace a little bit our our dimension,
• 22:34
  our way of playing basketball. No, what the Knicks are doing
• 22:37
  right now is they're playing the same way they've played
• 22:40
  throughout this series. Even against Detroit.
• 22:42
  What did they do? They started off slow.
• 22:45
  And you cannot do that against the Celtics.
• 22:47
  Because if the Celtics want to put that, if they want to put
• 22:51
  their the foot on the throat, they could do right now.
• 22:53
  Because the Celtics going to go up by at least 20 right now and
• 22:56
  say, you know what? They got to catch up now.
• 22:58
  We don't have to play 100%. We just have to play subpar at
• 23:02
  best. We don't.
• 23:03
  We could compete and we can win this game because we're the
• 23:06
  better team. And that's what they think in
• 23:07
  their little pea brains. They already think that they're
• 23:10
  the better team. Why?
• 23:12
  Because they won the championship last year and you
• 23:14
  got Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal and everybody
• 23:17
  in the media saying, oh, the Knicks don't have a chance.
• 23:20
  They don't stand a chance against this Boston Celtic team.
• 23:23
  They're the Champions. They're the most talented team.
• 23:25
  This isn't the same Boston Celtic team from last year.
• 23:29
  They're not, even though Porzingis wasn't 100% healthy
• 23:32
  last year. But in throughout the Finals,
• 23:35
  Porzingis figured out who he was.
• 23:37
  And as soon as he did that, it was over that there was no way
• 23:41
  Dallas was going to win that series when Porzingis figured it
• 23:43
  out. And that goes to the Knicks,
• 23:45
  too. Right now, they cannot let
• 23:47
  Porzingis get back in the. Series don't sell the short man
• 23:51
  short. Errol the guy is actually 62.
• 23:54
  He's not short at all. But.
• 23:55
  Well, that's short for the NBA standard.
• 23:57
  Short for a star in the NBA. And something that we don't talk
• 24:00
  enough about is there's really never been a team centered
• 24:03
  around a guy 62 or shorter that's ever won.
• 24:06
  And that's or at least maybe since like the beginning of the
• 24:09
  NBA. You know, when it was George
• 24:11
  Mike and era type times, right? But he's here's I got a few
• 24:16
  things. He just went on a crazy run.
• 24:17
  The Knicks, they had to call timeout.
• 24:19
  Knicks came back playing their game, hitting, you know, mid
• 24:22
  range jumpers, letting Miles Bridges go to work, get Anna
• 24:25
  Nobi going a little bit on his shot.
• 24:27
  And then Jalen getting hidden shots in people's faces and just
• 24:30
  killing their hearts because he's not going to give up.
• 24:32
  They they're down all the time. They're used to being in this
• 24:35
  position. Unfortunately, when Boston hit
• 24:39
  shots, they were just going Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing,
• 24:41
  catch and shoot 3. And when they're playing like
• 24:44
  that, they're almost impossible to beat.
• 24:46
  You have to really be on them early in the shot clock because
• 24:49
  they're going to take the first wide open three they can get.
• 24:51
  And in game three, I mean, they hit In games 1 and 2, they were
• 24:55
  25 of 125%. In game three, they were 20 of
• 24:58
  4050%, so obviously that's going to be a big difference and I
• 25:03
  would imagine in this game they fall somewhere in between those
• 25:06
  two numbers because that's where they should be.
• 25:07
  That's normal, right around third high 30s, which is what
• 25:10
  they are. Didn't they average 36?
• 25:12
  Isn't that what you said? Arrow Yep, it's, it's a rat, you
• 25:14
  know, and they've shot the most by far in the league.
• 25:17
  You know, I think it was 17.8 threes per game.
• 25:21
  Throughout this season, they had the most 100 point games in the
• 25:25
  NBA. They're they had the most and
• 25:28
  then and, and throughout the first two games of the series,
• 25:30
  they didn't score 100. What did they do in game #2 I
• 25:34
  mean game #3 they scored 115. And when they score over 100,
• 25:38
  they're very hard to beat. The Knicks have to keep them.
• 25:41
  I wouldn't say keep them under 100, but keep them closer to 100
• 25:45
  if they want to win this game. And you cannot play shoot tick
• 25:49
  for tack. Oh, I'm going to let Tatum hit
• 25:51
  that three and we're going to come back down and let OG hit an
• 25:54
  open three. That doesn't work in this game,
• 25:56
  in this series. Knicks are going to have to play
• 25:59
  dirty. The Knicks are going to have to
• 26:00
  play with heart if they expect to win this series.
• 26:03
  It's not going to be easy. And any Knick fan sitting here
• 26:06
  today that thought it was going to be, well, then you guys are
• 26:09
  blind and you haven't watched the Knicks enough this year or
• 26:13
  watch the Celtics enough all season long.
• 26:15
  This team is so very talented. They have Jaylen Brown, who's
• 26:19
  one of the best 2 dimensional players, two way players in the
• 26:22
  NBA. You can't argue that.
• 26:23
  You have Jayson Tatum, who's also a very good two way player,
• 26:27
  but he's hot cold and if you have a a cold, a very cold Jason
• 26:31
  Tatum, he's not going to score more than 12 to 15 points.
• 26:34
  We've seen that throughout the season.
• 26:36
  And Porzingis, we don't know what Porzingis is going to show
• 26:39
  up because he's not 100% healthy.
• 26:41
  So you look at the team right now, who you going to trust
• 26:44
  White? Are you going to bet on White to
• 26:47
  hit the open shots when you need them to in the fourth quarter?
• 26:50
  Well, it hasn't happened throughout this series, so I'm
• 26:53
  not going to trust him yet anymore or I I won't trust him
• 26:56
  like I did in and in Series 1 as he was hitting all these open
• 27:00
  shots and looking like he was a superstar player.
• 27:03
  White is what he always has been.
• 27:05
  He's become a better shooter in the NBA, but he's a dimensional
• 27:09
  defensive player. That's what he is.
• 27:11
  That's why he's on the court. He's supposed to be out there to
• 27:14
  stop the best point guard, or you can argue a top three-point
• 27:18
  guard like Jalen Bronson in all of basketball.
• 27:21
  I want to go back to the point that Jabba made as well when you
• 27:23
  were talking about Tom Thibodeau and his rotations to like, even
• 27:26
  if you don't play as money guys as as you'd want them to play,
• 27:29
  like I would want them to play 8 or 9 guys too, Jabba.
• 27:31
  But like, even if you don't do that, at least maybe take them
• 27:33
  out maybe quicker substitutions earlier because that was the
• 27:36
  other thing that hurt them in the the second part of the first
• 27:38
  quarter. Peyton Pritchard getting hot as
• 27:40
  well. And they have all these
• 27:41
  perimeter defenders. You can leave one of them in the
• 27:43
  game and then just put your bench players in there and then
• 27:45
  switch out the starters, switch out Hart and OG at the same time
• 27:48
  or something like that. Like you got to be a little more
• 27:50
  creative. You're going to be that stubborn
• 27:51
  with the rotation. Yeah, no.
• 27:55
  And I, it's interesting because I look too and it Porzingis has
• 27:59
  been paying anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes.
• 28:02
  I don't know if he's going to probably play that much because
• 28:06
  they really haven't said what his injury is, but I think he's
• 28:09
  a huge part and if you can keep him off the court.
• 28:11
  It's a leg injury. It's been a leg injury.
• 28:13
  And he was also dealing with an illness, apparently.
• 28:15
  And I think it's an Achilles. I think it's an Achilles.
• 28:17
  Injury. You jinxed it with White.
• 28:19
  I think he's 4 from 4 from three right now.
• 28:22
  That guy, that guy is real streaky.
• 28:24
  But you're not wrong. He's a guy that's a catch and
• 28:26
  shoot guy. He's you don't want him creating
• 28:28
  off the dribble trying to hit his three.
• 28:30
  And that's the problem. The Celtics are so good at
• 28:32
  getting it to all these different catch and shoot guys.
• 28:35
  You just got to play on top of everyone, every possession.
• 28:38
  That's exhausting and it gets to me to the point I wanted to make
• 28:40
  the whole time and speed. You touched on a little bit with
• 28:43
  the rotations. Why is Jalen Brunson playing 40
• 28:45
  minutes in a blowout? Because he played 40 minutes in
• 28:49
  game three. What are we doing?
• 28:51
  That game was over. Get him.
• 28:53
  He shouldn't have played more than 32 minutes in that game in
• 28:56
  a million years that there's no point.
• 28:59
  You got to save him, especially that guy.
• 29:01
  I know you want to compete. They did come back down, you
• 29:04
  know, but they were down 30 in this game.
• 29:06
  It wasn't 20. There's no reason he needs to be
• 29:09
  in there past the 10 minute mark in the fourth quarter at all, at
• 29:13
  all. And these are the types of
• 29:15
  things that drive me crazy about Tibbs is you should know better
• 29:18
  at that point. You should, you should try to
• 29:21
  preserve your guys for a long series and four long series if
• 29:25
  you can make it there, right? That's the thing that I don't
• 29:28
  think he considers. When you have a short rotation
• 29:31
  and then if the game's over, why not see what some of those guys
• 29:35
  can do in some of these moments? Maybe Tyler Kolek is ready for
• 29:39
  the moment. Maybe you know.
• 29:41
  That's never going to happen, fish, That's never going to
• 29:44
  happen. But you know what I mean?
• 29:45
  Like, it bothers me about him and I think it bothers a lot of
• 29:47
  the expense about about tips that he doesn't really use those
• 29:52
  moments to try to make fringe pieces better.
• 29:54
  Think about what happened the year before.
• 29:55
  They got lucky that they had to play Alec Burke so much down the
• 29:58
  stretch because everyone got hurt.
• 30:00
  And Alec Burke's had these great moments in the playoffs because
• 30:03
  he had some run. Well, I mean, that was luck
• 30:05
  because guys got hurt. Imagine that guy didn't get any
• 30:08
  run at all heading into the playoffs.
• 30:09
  Then they needed him. He would have been cold.
• 30:11
  He would have missed everything. It's to me.
• 30:14
  To me sitting here and watching this game right now, it's
• 30:17
  starting to give me agita because I already know what's
• 30:19
  going to happen. This Celtic team is going to go
• 30:22
  on a 10 O run and the Knicks are going to play catch up again.
• 30:25
  They have to obviously keep this game close, even closer than
• 30:30
  they have throughout this series because every single time the
• 30:34
  two games that they won, they're coming back from 20 point
• 30:37
  deficits. That's not going to work in this
• 30:39
  game in Madison Square Garden. Why?
• 30:41
  Because we've heard it from many different people.
• 30:43
  When you're in front of your fans and everybody's starting to
• 30:46
  booing and you're seeing it's quiet.
• 30:48
  It's not like it's over there in Boston where everybody is doing
• 30:52
  all this stuff and getting agitated when your team is
• 30:55
  hitting shots. It's not like that your team
• 30:58
  gets when your team's not playing well, the fans get
• 31:01
  restless and then you hear charp chirps in the the crowd and you
• 31:04
  have all the other ex players sitting around saying things to
• 31:08
  you saying I'll get back in, do this, do that.
• 31:10
  It's not the same thing. And when you play at home,
• 31:13
  there's more pressure on you, especially in Madison Square
• 31:15
  Garden when there's 19,000 fans packed out wanting to see you
• 31:20
  make those shots and and show a highlight reel on ESPN.
• 31:24
  And that's something that the Knicks have not really done
• 31:27
  throughout these two series. Even against Detroit, they were
• 31:30
  crawling through the finish line.
• 31:32
  You cannot do that against the Celtics.
• 31:34
  When you have a chance to put your foot on their necks, you do
• 31:38
  it. And I'm not saying in game #3
• 31:41
  I'm saying right now, if the Knicks want to win this series,
• 31:44
  because it's going 7 no matter what, if the Knicks want to win
• 31:47
  this series, they have to win game #4 #4 they had to tell
• 31:52
  Boston, and they got to explain to Boston, listen, you might
• 31:55
  have came in and game #3 and embarrassed us.
• 31:58
  Well, guess what? We're going out out there and
• 32:00
  game #4 and we're going to have our fans on our side, and we're
• 32:03
  going to go out there and we're going to win the game and go
• 32:05
  back to Boston and try to stick your snot up your you know what?
• 32:09
  So, and I'm not going to say what I really wanted to say
• 32:11
  because it might have gotten somebody sick, but nevertheless,
• 32:15
  you understand what I'm saying. The Knicks need to put more
• 32:18
  pressure on the Celtics in game #4 so when they go back home and
• 32:22
  they're down 31, they're going to four shots.
• 32:24
  They're going to do things that they're uncomfortable doing.
• 32:27
  And maybe the Knicks ended in Game 5.
• 32:30
  Maybe the Knicks ended in in in a game that nobody thought that
• 32:33
  was going to happen in five games except probably you Fish
• 32:36
  or some crazy other Knick fan. So I I'm just, I'm just speaking
• 32:41
  the truth here. The Knicks cannot let Boston
• 32:44
  actually create the path of where this series could go.
• 32:48
  And Boston can win four games in a row.
• 32:50
  We've seen it. Can we go back with the Red Sox?
• 32:53
  I remember the Yankees a long, long time ago.
• 32:56
  They were up three O Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Mariano
• 33:00
  Rivera, all those great Yankees. They were up three O never
• 33:04
  happened before. And you know the when I'm
• 33:07
  talking about the American Championship, American League
• 33:10
  Championship and what happens the Boston's with Curt Schilling
• 33:14
  crawl back into that series and finally grow life.
• 33:18
  And once you get them and you get the fans and the Boston
• 33:22
  fans, because it's New York versus Boston back into a
• 33:25
  series, it's over. And I'm not, I'm not saying that
• 33:28
  could happen with basketball. It's a different sport.
• 33:31
  But we've seen the Boston fans and we've seen the New York
• 33:34
  fans. They can't stand one another.
• 33:36
  So you want to see this end up a little bit differently.
• 33:39
  And you want to see the Knicks fight for a chance to to maybe
• 33:43
  win an NBA title, something they haven't won since 1973.
• 33:47
  The Pacers blew out the Cavaliers in game number 4129 to
• 33:52
  1:09 to take a three one series lead.
• 33:55
  That's what we want the Knicks to do.
• 33:56
  The Cavaliers also lost Donovan Mitchell, the Spider to an ankle
• 34:00
  injury in the second quarter and did not return in the
• 34:03
  second-half after feeling pain during warmups.
• 34:07
  The Cavs have also been without Evan Mobley, DeAndre Hunter and
• 34:12
  Darius Garland at points during the series.
• 34:15
  Garland had just 10 points in game #3 but had 21 points
• 34:20
  without Mitchell in game #4 The Pacers had seven different
• 34:25
  players in double figures in Game 4, despite Tyrese
• 34:28
  Halliburton only having 11 points.
• 34:31
  Mitchell is listed as a game time decision for game #5 with
• 34:36
  the Cavaliers season on the line.
• 34:38
  By the way, the Cavaliers are done.
• 34:40
  I don't care what Kenny Atkinson says.
• 34:42
  I don't care what anybody says, there would be an absolute
• 34:45
  miracle with the injuries. The Cavaliers are withstanding
• 34:49
  right now, not only in the series.
• 34:51
  Throughout the playoffs, Garland hasn't been 100% healthy.
• 34:54
  Evan Mobley hasn't been 100% healthy throughout the playoffs.
• 34:57
  And now you have your best player in Donovan Mitchell, the
• 34:59
  Spider, not 100% healthy and he's questionable.
• 35:03
  He's going to play guys. When you hear that he's
• 35:05
  questionable, it usually means the guy's going to show up and
• 35:08
  play. But are you going to trust that
• 35:10
  he's the same out of the Mitchell?
• 35:12
  He's not even 70% guys. He is going to be a decoy on the
• 35:17
  on the court. It's going to be Garland show.
• 35:19
  It's going to be Garland show if they expect to win a game #5 and
• 35:23
  I just don't think they have it. I just think the Cavaliers, as
• 35:27
  young and as agile they've been throughout the playoffs over the
• 35:31
  last three years. And we all know because we're
• 35:33
  Knicks fans and we've seen him get a limited not once, but
• 35:35
  twice. Against the Knicks, you had the
• 35:37
  best record in basketball practically the whole season.
• 35:41
  And then you go into the playoffs and you sweep.
• 35:45
  You sweep in the first round. And everybody thought this is
• 35:47
  going to be easy all the way to the Eastern Conference finals
• 35:49
  when I have to play the Celtics or even the Knicks.
• 35:52
  And the Pacers show up and Hal Burton and his father are
• 35:55
  dancing, you know, in a circle, you know, like they're like the
• 35:59
  Wizard of Oz. I mean, where's the Wicked Witch
• 36:02
  when you need her? I mean, seriously, it's this is.
• 36:04
  Who's pathetic? Where's?
• 36:05
  Where's job as a rookie? Costumes.
• 36:07
  Exactly. Well, he was a cowardly lion.
• 36:09
  He was a cowardly lion. But honestly, that's what the
• 36:12
  Cavs are. They're cowardly.
• 36:13
  They're cowards. They're not showing up in these
• 36:16
  games. They're not putting up, you
• 36:18
  know, the points that they need to.
• 36:19
  And no matter what they do or in the positions where they have in
• 36:23
  the third quarter a chance to come back and take your lead,
• 36:27
  they fall behind again because you have guys like Tyrese, Hal
• 36:30
  Burton and some of these bench players.
• 36:32
  By the way, the Pacers have a a very unique bunch coming off the
• 36:36
  bench. This is one of the more
• 36:38
  underrated benches in the NBA. They've been fantastic.
• 36:41
  I remember him last year against the Knicks and why they went to
• 36:45
  the Eastern Conference finals against the Celtics.
• 36:47
  And I'm watching it even this year.
• 36:48
  This team is a lot better than I ever thought they were and very
• 36:52
  well coached because Rick Carlisle has been a successful
• 36:55
  coach in the NBA. He's won an NBA championship and
• 36:58
  he understands how to teach young talent.
• 37:02
  And that's what the Pacers are. They're young.
• 37:03
  Tyrese. Tyrese Halpern, what is he,
• 37:06
  2324? He's a youngster.
• 37:08
  Practically this whole team is under the age of 27 years old.
• 37:13
  This is one of the younger teams that have a tremendous
• 37:15
  opportunity right now. Because if it is the Knicks and
• 37:18
  the Pacers, guess who beat the Knicks last year?
• 37:20
  The Pacers. The Pacers go to the Finals
• 37:22
  against any one of these four other teams right now in the
• 37:25
  West. Do you think they have a chance
• 37:27
  100% and why do you think Reggie Miller wants to see the Knicks
• 37:31
  play them? Because he knows they can beat
• 37:33
  them. That's why why they beat him
• 37:35
  once, they can beat him again. That that's the facts.
• 37:39
  Jack and I bothers the hell out of me.
• 37:41
  But Nick fans sitting here, they have a lot to worry about with
• 37:44
  the Celtic team and I see Fish, he's got his hand over his head
• 37:47
  because it's probably bad and I'm not really paying attention
• 37:50
  nevertheless. It's terrible.
• 37:52
  Jason Tatum, what's the score right now?
• 37:54
  Pulling up from what's the score?
• 37:55
  Jason Tatum just hit three straight threes, pulling up from
• 37:58
  like 30. 5 So what's the score right now?
• 38:00
  They're down 9 at the end of the first.
• 38:02
  Not surprised and this is going to be this is going to be
• 38:05
  throughout this game in this series.
• 38:07
  If Jason Tatum finds this rhythm, the Knicks don't stand a
• 38:10
  chance in the series. And again, Jalen Bronson's got
• 38:13
  to stop showing up in the later quarters and and putting on a
• 38:17
  show. He needs to show up throughout
• 38:19
  this series. He has to go tick for tack
• 38:22
  against Jason Tatum. He's their best player.
• 38:24
  And supposedly, as Nick fans say, Jalen Bronson is the Knicks
• 38:28
  best player. So you got to show up and be the
• 38:30
  best player on the basketball court.
• 38:31
  If he doesn't, they don't stand a chance against the Celtic team
• 38:34
  that is smelling blood. They're not tasting it, they're
• 38:38
  smelling it. You just got to stay close.
• 38:40
  They play dumb in the fourth quarter.
• 38:42
  They do. They really do.
• 38:43
  They just keep chucking it. You got to play with a lead
• 38:46
  differently at that point, differently.
• 38:48
  When you have a dangerous team like the Knicks, there's no
• 38:51
  point at all in playing fast, taking shots early in the shot
• 38:55
  clock when you have a 25 point lead ever.
• 38:58
  And they've done it every game, even went the one they want.
• 39:02
  They just hit haven't hit their shots in the one they want.
• 39:05
  And the Knicks couldn't hit broadside of a barn in that
• 39:07
  game. They're 9 for 14 from three in
• 39:09
  the first quarter. It's outrageous.
• 39:11
  Derek White has four of them. Tatum has three or four of them
• 39:14
  himself. Pritchard hit one with like,
• 39:17
  Brunson right in his face. It's been terrible.
• 39:20
  They have, they're going to, they're going to ride and die.
• 39:22
  They're going to ride and die with the three.
• 39:24
  That's what they're. Going to do as hot as they get
• 39:25
  is as cold as they'll get for stretches as well.
• 39:28
  And again, if they if they can keep it within a dozen going
• 39:33
  into the fourth quarter, the way this team plays in the fourth
• 39:36
  quarter, they they easily let you back in.
• 39:38
  And the Knicks are really good at getting, I mean, they already
• 39:41
  got 2 offensive fouls on Jaylen Brown, Josh Hart, drew both of
• 39:44
  them I believe and he's out of the game.
• 39:47
  It doesn't matter because Jason Tatum is playing.
• 39:48
  We got like the star mode from Mario Brothers right now or
• 39:51
  something. Just like can't be stopped at
• 39:53
  all. It's just ridiculous.
• 39:55
  And you know, he's a great player, so that happens every
• 39:58
  once in a while. But you're right, Bronson's got
• 40:00
  to do the same thing. Bronson is the best player on
• 40:02
  this team. He's right in front of his own
• 40:04
  fans where all these old Knicks is sitting back there saying
• 40:07
  this is the greatest point guard the Knicks have ever had.
• 40:10
  OK, well, Clive Frazier won two championships.
• 40:13
  Bronson, go out there and win a championship for this Nick team
• 40:15
  and then you'll be considered a statue.
• 40:18
  They'll consider a statue and building a statue of you in
• 40:21
  front of Madison Square Garden in the future.
• 40:23
  As we've seen Stefan Marbury, he wasn't good here, but in China,
• 40:26
  they got a big old statue over there in China of the great
• 40:29
  Stephon Marbury holding his little star berries as they're
• 40:34
  worth a buck over here in New York, which really didn't last
• 40:37
  more than 24 to 48 hours when you were playing on a basketball
• 40:40
  court with, but nevertheless either did the Iverson's.
• 40:42
  By the way, the Iverson's were absolutely futured.
• 40:44
  You wire those on the basketball court too.
• 40:46
  The souls pop off after the second or third time.
• 40:49
  So I know all about the Iverson's.
• 40:50
  Sorry Alan, I love you as a basketball player.
• 40:53
  Your sneakers sucked. The Anthony Hardaway's were
• 40:55
  pretty good by the way too. I like those.
• 40:57
  One of the pennies. Those ones are good.
• 40:58
  Yeah, I like those. The pennies were good with the
• 41:01
  air on the side of them. I actually liked the pennies,
• 41:04
  but and they actually remade them, redone them and have the
• 41:07
  new different colors. Now they got them purple and
• 41:09
  blue and yellow and all the different.
• 41:11
  Did you like the Kemps? Looked like the circle ones, the
• 41:16
  green buck ones. The problem with the camps is
• 41:18
  they look like an alien shoe. So did the Kobe's.
• 41:20
  Remember the first two Kobe's? It looked like they were alien
• 41:23
  shoes. That's what they.
• 41:25
  Were he was with Adidas when he started.
• 41:26
  Yes, yes. And so was by the way, so was
• 41:29
  Kevin Garnett and I have Kevin Garnett's first sneakers as as a
• 41:32
  basketball player, which actually in pretty good
• 41:35
  condition for the for you how how old they are.
• 41:37
  They got to be over 2627 years old.
• 41:40
  I have Kevin Garnett's first pair of sneakers ever made, so.
• 41:45
  You got to remember he was still with Adidas because remember he
• 41:47
  said impossible is nothing after they won and center.
• 41:50
  Do you remember the Do you remember the other big man?
• 41:53
  Do you remember the other big man that signed with Adidas when
• 41:55
  he got drafted? Oh, there were some that were
• 41:58
  only there for like a year and then left.
• 42:00
  He's very he's one of the greatest of all time.
• 42:04
  What? Jordan No.
• 42:06
  He's a big man. He was drafted in the late 90s.
• 42:12
  Michael Olo Candy No. He's a Hall of Famer, you idiot.
• 42:18
  He's a Hall of Famer. And then like a true big.
• 42:22
  Man, true big man. He's a big man.
• 42:24
  He was. He played the four and a five.
• 42:25
  Are you guys going to give up? Because yeah, it was Tim Duncan.
• 42:30
  It was Tim Duncan. It was Tim Duncan, Tim Duncan.
• 42:33
  Tim Duncan was the one the other one that signed with Adidas when
• 42:36
  he came into the NBA. So I don't know how long he was
• 42:39
  with Adidas, Adidas, but he was he was there with Adidas his
• 42:43
  rookie season. I think he signed a 5 or 6 year
• 42:45
  deal. But nevertheless, I never owned
• 42:48
  Duncan's because I always thought they were ugly.
• 42:49
  But the garnets were actually pretty cool.
• 42:51
  I like blue and and white and obviously played for the
• 42:54
  Timberwolves and that was their color.
• 42:56
  So that's that's what they were. So I but.
• 42:59
  Did you ever get the the The Dunk Man's from Shaq?
• 43:03
  No, I never but by the way, has anybody seen shacks real shoe?
• 43:07
  Has anybody actually held Shaquille O'neals shoe?
• 43:10
  They're like size 20 fours, man. They're about the size of my
• 43:13
  sternum. It's ridiculous how big they
• 43:15
  are. It's it's, it's not human.
• 43:18
  He's not human. His.
• 43:19
  His shoe side. His.
• 43:20
  His. Then they say like a whole
• 43:21
  gallon of milk can go in his shoe or something like that.
• 43:24
  Yes, it's it's ridiculous, but. I I did like the Barclays though
• 43:28
  too. Yes, I like the Barclays I have.
• 43:30
  The Barclays, I have the old Barclays.
• 43:33
  I actually, they remade them after he retired and I bought a
• 43:36
  pair of them. I saw somebody wearing them and
• 43:38
  I searched them all over social media and eBay and somebody was
• 43:42
  selling them on eBay and I bought a pair of them.
• 43:44
  So I I actually have them and they were brand new, by the way,
• 43:47
  nobody for them. So I actually have those too,
• 43:50
  but I collect sneakers. But to get back to what we were
• 43:52
  talking about with the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers are
• 43:55
  done. No matter what happens, Donovan
• 43:56
  Mitchell comes back 100% healthy.
• 43:58
  It's not going to make a difference.
• 43:59
  I think obviously the Pacers have put their taken.
• 44:03
  I don't know, they've taken somebody's dirty up.
• 44:05
  Actually, by the way, Tyrese Halliburton's woman is pretty
• 44:09
  damn hot, OK, So if she took her panties off and shoved it down
• 44:12
  one of their throats, I'd actually accept it.
• 44:15
  I'd open my mouth and say come on baby, stick them down this
• 44:18
  throat. Stick it down this Troutche.
• 44:20
  Anyways, as as I would say anyways, to get back to what we
• 44:23
  were talking about. But I I think the Cavaliers are
• 44:26
  done. I don't think the Cavaliers have
• 44:28
  any chance of coming back in this series because obviously
• 44:31
  the better team is dominating this.
• 44:33
  Speaking of, what are we going to say?
• 44:36
  Well, I mean, if Donovan Mitchell isn't going to play,
• 44:39
  he's playing. There's he's.
• 44:40
  Going to play. Probably out he's saying that
• 44:43
  he's got a bad ankle. He's playing like they they're
• 44:45
  saying questionable as like he's normally would be doubtful in
• 44:49
  this situation. He's playing, you watch.
• 44:51
  Early in that game, like that looked like, I mean, I've showed
• 44:55
  the clip, he wasn't. They were just shooting in
• 44:57
  between like stoppages and it took him out.
• 45:00
  He was not touched, it was a non contact.
• 45:03
  They're going to shoot him up with whatever.
• 45:05
  They shoot people up with some kind of.
• 45:10
  Creatine or something? He'll get a Toradol shot.
• 45:12
  There it is a Toradol. They'll put some topical on
• 45:15
  like, yeah, that's honestly like, that's crazy.
• 45:18
  Like when I think about like, ankle injuries and how like,
• 45:21
  they can manifest, that's kind of what happened to Derek.
• 45:24
  Like he was playing through it when he actually blew his ankle
• 45:26
  out diving for that ball. Yep, kind of the same thing and
• 45:30
  it just. Gave out eventually and yeah,
• 45:32
  ready to go at any. Moment Yep and then so you gotta
• 45:35
  you gotta worry about that too. If you do bring him back and and
• 45:39
  have that feeling that you still have a chance, you know it, it
• 45:41
  could be it could do more harm than good.
• 45:43
  Donovan Mitchell is going to play in game #5 I don't know
• 45:47
  where he's going to be at, but he'll be 7075%.
• 45:50
  It's not going to make a difference if he was 8590 or
• 45:53
  95%. I'm just letting you guys know
• 45:55
  that I just think they've, the Pacers have completely ended
• 45:59
  their thought that they have a chance in this series.
• 46:01
  And, and Kenny Atkinson, I got to give him a lot of credit cuz
• 46:04
  after, after the games, he's out there very, you know, very
• 46:09
  ecstatic. And he believes that he's team
• 46:11
  is going to be able to come back in this series and win like any
• 46:13
  other coach. But I just don't think with the
• 46:16
  Pacers and Rick Carlisle, Rick Carlisle, such a good coach.
• 46:20
  He's a great defensive mind. Coaching Kenny right now, like I
• 46:23
  think that we have to invention before we leave it that they
• 46:26
  went to a 2-3 zone in game three and shut them down.
• 46:31
  And what does Carlisle do? Completely changes the offense
• 46:33
  in game four and shreds the zone because he knows how to coach
• 46:37
  with the best of them. Yes, he got like it.
• 46:40
  Kenny's gonna have to come back with something pretty special to
• 46:43
  be able to win this series. I just don't think he has it in
• 46:46
  him. I think Carlisle's a step ahead
• 46:47
  of him, even if he is the coach of the year.
• 46:49
  Again, we'll have to see how Kenny Atkinson is going to play
• 46:54
  this in a game #5 where a lot of people think they're done,
• 46:57
  including yours truly. It would be a miracle if they
• 47:00
  come back in this series and take it to a game seven.
• 47:01
  I just don't see it even with a healthy Donovan Mitchell.
• 47:04
  I think this team really just doesn't have it and they didn't
• 47:08
  have it last year either. I I just think that when you go
• 47:12
  into the regular season and everybody says, wow, this team
• 47:14
  is going to be the team to beat just like OK C when it comes to
• 47:17
  the playoffs, it's a completely different dog.
• 47:20
  And I just don't think they're the type of dog that is going to
• 47:23
  beat the Celtics or beat the Knicks.
• 47:25
  The Pacers are a team that have nothing to lose.
• 47:28
  What do they have anything to lose with?
• 47:30
  They got one of the best young point guards in the league that
• 47:33
  his father's dancing on the sidelines and threatening people
• 47:36
  after games. And then they have a bunch of
• 47:39
  players that are good but not great.
• 47:42
  They don't have to be great. All you need is to believe in
• 47:45
  your star player and your team and your coach and call the
• 47:49
  right plays and call the right defensive plays and you can win
• 47:52
  a game. The Nuggets and the Thunder and
• 47:54
  now tied 2 to 2 after the Nuggets won game #3 in Denver.
• 47:58
  The Thunder won game #4 The two teams tied for at least the
• 48:03
  first quarter in points and game in a game in NBA day history
• 48:08
  with the Thunder leading 17/8 which is 25 combined points.
• 48:14
  Aaron Gordon hit another clutch buzzer beater in game #3 to send
• 48:18
  the game to overtime, his third buzzer beater of the playoffs so
• 48:22
  far. The Timberwolves beat the
• 48:23
  Warriors one O 2 to 97 to take A21 series lead.
• 48:28
  Anthony Edwards score 36 points in game #3 and the Jimmy Buckets
• 48:34
  of himself put up 33. But it wasn't enough for the
• 48:39
  Warriors without Steph Curry, which we expected.
• 48:41
  ESPN reports that Curry is not likely to return for from his
• 48:45
  injury until game number six. And it doesn't matter if he
• 48:48
  comes back from hamstring injury, he's never going to be
• 48:51
  100%. This is a guy that depends on
• 48:54
  lateral rotation and, and the way he likes to move, you know,
• 48:58
  and dribble the ball and control the game.
• 49:00
  He likes to go inside and out. If he can't do that, he's going
• 49:04
  to be a stand up shooting spot up shooter and that as good as
• 49:08
  Steph Curry is and he's going to he's still, you know, you need
• 49:11
  double T. You need to double team him
• 49:13
  anywhere around the perimeter. He's not the same player and
• 49:16
  you're going to depend a lot on Jimmy Buckets and the way
• 49:19
  Anthony Edwards is playing ever since his coaches called him
• 49:21
  out, he's a completely different superstar and you can see what
• 49:25
  he can do when he figures things out.
• 49:28
  I I don't think there's anybody better than Anthony Edwards when
• 49:31
  he is hot and he can't be stopped as good as Jayson tandem
• 49:35
  has been throughout the playoffs or even Jalen Brunson or any one
• 49:39
  of these superstars or Alexander, any one of these
• 49:43
  guys, Jokic, any one of these guys.
• 49:46
  If Anthony Edwards is playing at the top of his game, he is by
• 49:49
  far the best player throughout the playoffs.
• 49:51
  And and you're senior right now and the Timberwolves, they're a
• 49:54
  good team. I think they have more depth
• 49:56
  than they did last year without Karl, Karl Anthony Towns, Julius
• 49:59
  Randall is actually giving him a lot off the bench when he is
• 50:02
  coming off the bench and even as a starter, he's giving you what
• 50:05
  you expected. Julia Julius Randall to give you
• 50:08
  for the New York Knicks and Dante Divacento and some of the
• 50:11
  guys that are coming off the bench right now, they're just a
• 50:13
  different team. The Timberwolves believe that
• 50:14
  they are They believe they're the best team right now in the
• 50:18
  playoffs for the Western Conference.
• 50:19
  But again, you, you look at the OKC Thunder series and, and
• 50:24
  obviously the Nuggets, you have the two best players in the
• 50:26
  world right now, the 2 MVP candidates.
• 50:29
  You have Jokic versus Mr. Alexander and Alexander's
• 50:32
  putting up the numbers you expect.
• 50:34
  And so is Jokic. The question is, are the other
• 50:37
  guys, is Russell Westbrook going to show up when they need him,
• 50:40
  which he's done in, in, in the series, series 1, But it really
• 50:44
  hasn't showed up in this series. Maybe because OK C is younger
• 50:47
  and be able to keep up with a, you know, a speedy old Russell
• 50:50
  Westbrook. But they've got, you know,
• 50:52
  timely shooting by Aaron Gordon. And Aaron Gordon is a really
• 50:56
  good player. He's a dynamic player.
• 50:58
  We've seen him remember when he was on Orlando, remember when he
• 51:01
  had won those slam dunk contest. This guy is acrobatic.
• 51:04
  He could shoot. He can do a lot of things.
• 51:06
  And I think the Nuggets have enough depth right now to
• 51:09
  compete with the the shy Alexander, the shy Alexander
• 51:13
  Thunder. The question is, are they going
• 51:16
  to be able to beat Shy When, when the time when the time is
• 51:20
  right, when when the series is closing, they go to a Game 7 and
• 51:24
  they have to win that game in OK C to move on to the Western
• 51:27
  Conference finals against Shy, Alexander or Williams or one of
• 51:30
  these guys that are going to have to, you know, be dominated
• 51:33
  in in the fourth quarter? I don't know.
• 51:35
  And again, the Nuggets have to depend on their superstars just
• 51:38
  as much as any one of these teams still in the playoffs.
• 51:41
  Jayla Brunson needs to show up. Jason Tatum needs to show up.
• 51:45
  Anthony Edwards needs to show up, Shy Alexander needs to show
• 51:48
  up, and Djokic needs to show up. And yes, if you want me to go to
• 51:51
  the Cavaliers, so does Donovan Mitchell and so does Tyrese
• 51:55
  Halliburton, which he has in his series.
• 51:58
  Every one of these players, even Jimmy Buckets, when Steph Curry
• 52:02
  is not 100% healthy, he shows up and he plays hard.
• 52:06
  And that's why you made that trade.
• 52:08
  That's why you paid Jimmy Buckets.
• 52:10
  So I expect these series to go to the to the end, except the
• 52:15
  Cavaliers series, which I think is a complete blowout.
• 52:17
  I, I think it's going to go seven games with the Thunder.
• 52:21
  I think it's going to go seven games with Anthony Edwards and
• 52:24
  the Golden State Warriors, maybe 6.
• 52:26
  And the Knicks, I've already said it, seven games.
• 52:29
  The only way the Knicks win is if they take this seven games
• 52:33
  and and they dagger them in Boston in front of their fans in
• 52:36
  the fourth quarter, which they've been doing or have done
• 52:39
  in in in the first game, in the second game.
• 52:42
  And you also look at the way that these teams have been
• 52:43
  building. I think you need a core that's
• 52:46
  going to do well if your stars do struggle.
• 52:47
  And we were talking about with Anthony Edwards last week, the
• 52:49
  Timberwolves core did not help him enough when he was
• 52:52
  struggling in that first half. Then he elevates in the
• 52:54
  second-half. They almost come back.
• 52:55
  And now you look at these last two games, I think the Edwards
• 52:57
  is going off and Julius Randall is actually being selfless.
• 53:00
  He had 12 assists. When did you last time you ever
• 53:02
  forever Julius Randall getting 12 assists in a game.
• 53:04
  Like, that's crazy to think they had.
• 53:06
  Their size was there and their bench depth was there.
• 53:08
  You're right. Errol, Dante, Di Vincenzo has
• 53:10
  elevated that bench from a scoring perspective.
• 53:12
  Yeah, Jada McDaniels, but doing well from a defensive
• 53:14
  perspective. They have a good mixture of
• 53:15
  everything and to go to, to counter with the Denver side of
• 53:17
  it, the Denver Nuggets, it was a tale of two games for their
• 53:20
  bench fish. I was a game off with a Brown
• 53:22
  and a Porter combo. They did great in game three
• 53:24
  after the fact and then they struggled in game four.
• 53:26
  They couldn't score at all in Game 4.
• 53:28
  When Yokich had his worst game in game three, the rest of the
• 53:30
  team picked him up and same kind of thing with OKC.
• 53:32
  They had the rest of the guys pick it up later in the game, in
• 53:35
  game 4:00 to be able to win that kind of thing.
• 53:37
  And I just don't know if the Warriors have that kind of combo
• 53:39
  right now. As good as Jimmy Butler played
• 53:41
  if Steph Curry's hurt. Speedy Why are these eight teams
• 53:43
  still in the playoffs? They built on depth and
• 53:45
  versatility. Why are they in the playoffs?
• 53:48
  Why did they make the playoffs? Why are why are they in the
• 53:50
  semifinals and on their way to the finals?
• 53:54
  Any one of these teams, Why are they there?
• 53:56
  They have one star with good depth and versatility.
• 53:58
  Around and what and all the teams that are leading in this
• 54:01
  series, who has shown up in those games?
• 54:04
  Those stars? Their stars and the one guy that
• 54:07
  hasn't shown up in their in their series, their star Mitch
• 54:11
  Donovan Mitchell. That's why the Cavaliers are not
• 54:15
  in the lead and why Tyrese Halliburton and the Pacers are
• 54:18
  going to win that series because Halliburton showed up and
• 54:21
  Donovan Mitchell is lost. He's not healthy, but he's lost.
• 54:24
  And we've seen this. We see Donovan Mitchell when he
• 54:27
  would play for the Utah Jazz. Do we remember that if they were
• 54:30
  in series that he showed up and then in the semi finals with
• 54:33
  Utah, there were series that he didn't show up.
• 54:35
  I remember against the Rockets, remember that didn't show up
• 54:38
  against the Rockets with Chris Paul and James Harden.
• 54:40
  I remember that and, and, and what did they do?
• 54:43
  They lost. That's what happens when your
• 54:46
  star doesn't wake up in a series where you're expected to show up
• 54:50
  for your team and play your game.
• 54:52
  He hasn't, and that's why they're down.
• 54:54
  Yeah, and it's weird because he's playoff points for gamers
• 54:56
  actually very high, but you're right, he fizzles out kind of
• 54:57
  later in the playoffs. He starts to play hero ball too
• 55:00
  much. I I had that problem with Shy
• 55:02
  originally when he was first in the NBA, but I don't think he's
• 55:04
  really started to do that as much either.
• 55:07
  Anthony Edwards has done that too, but he's been good in the
• 55:09
  clutch as well and he elevates other people well.
• 55:12
  No, I think, I think there's 22 parts of that.
• 55:14
  And Errol, I agree with you. Like your star has to step up
• 55:18
  like they they have to do it. But also the other part is too,
• 55:21
  if I am struggling a little bit, not doing my normal is, is like
• 55:25
  Speedy just said, they facilitate and help from, from
• 55:28
  different avenues of the game. And I think they do a good job
• 55:31
  and other guys are stepping up. But I, I think there's two parts
• 55:35
  of that where they, you know, they'd not only have to go out
• 55:38
  and be that guy, but they have to make sure they facilitate
• 55:41
  from the other end and make everybody better.
• 55:43
  If they are having a night off where, you know, you can go
• 55:46
  drop, you know, 10 Dimes. And even when Jokic had, you
• 55:49
  know, his least scoring game, it was still, I think it was, was
• 55:52
  it a triple double, I think. Yep, it always is a triple
• 55:55
  double when it comes. To.
• 55:58
  But I just think there's two parts of that where they need to
• 56:00
  make sure. Like obviously some days you
• 56:03
  just don't have it. But just because you don't have
• 56:06
  it offensively doesn't mean you know you let up on the defensive
• 56:09
  side as we've seen with with with some guys in the playoffs
• 56:12
  and and help facilitate other guys be better to pick up some
• 56:15
  slack where where maybe you're not on that night.
• 56:18
  Just just real quick, super happy for Julius Randle.
• 56:21
  Julius Randle spent those years help resuscitating the Knicks
• 56:25
  franchise from the Dolphins. Just call him Bricklin.
• 56:28
  That's what we called him here in New York.
• 56:29
  He. Was Bricklin, he was so bad, But
• 56:31
  you know, despite his shortcomings, this is what he
• 56:34
  can do if you put him in a perfect situation, if you have a
• 56:38
  center that can rim protect for him because not great at that.
• 56:40
  The play making guard like Anthony Edwards and he can just
• 56:44
  kind of be that third guy that's in the offense and that can
• 56:47
  facilitate and just get all the like extra passes.
• 56:51
  I mean he put up a triple double and they dominated that game.
• 56:54
  We've seen him do versions of that.
• 56:56
  We just haven't seen him do a consistent consistently.
• 56:59
  And I think for them to win it all this year, he has to play
• 57:02
  like this. I don't know if Julius Randall
• 57:05
  can for that long, but if he plays like this, this team can
• 57:10
  go. They really can with Anthony
• 57:12
  Edwards and Gobert protecting and playing well.
• 57:15
  It's it's an interesting dynamic.
• 57:16
  It's amazing that that we were talking about this after how it
• 57:20
  started with them this series with Anthony Edwards going like
• 57:23
  over 10 in the first half with one point and getting called out
• 57:26
  by his coach, pretty wild. And then finally, look, Jimmy
• 57:31
  buckets. I think he'll I think playoff
• 57:33
  Jimmy will take one game. I still believe in playoff
• 57:35
  Jimmy. And if they can get it to six
• 57:38
  and Steph comes back, who knows? But I would say.
• 57:42
  Here we go. You.
• 57:45
  Got to take Minnesota. And by the way, Julius Randall
• 57:47
  had more bricks and built more brick patios than anybody has
• 57:52
  done in Madison Square Garden in history.
• 57:54
  So if you want to if, if you want something built in your
• 57:57
  all. Season as an argument for you.
• 57:59
  Let's not get into Charles Smith.
• 58:01
  Let's forget about Charles Smith.
• 58:02
  Let him go to North Korea with Dennis Rodman and hang out with
• 58:05
  whatever his name is. OK?
• 58:07
  I I don't want to hear about Charles Smith.
• 58:10
  All I care about is, is, is what the Knicks were, you know, 2-3
• 58:15
  years ago. And Julius Randall was the
• 58:17
  biggest bricklayer I've ever seen in my entire life.
• 58:20
  And Derrick Rose would agree with me too, because he was a
• 58:23
  part of those teams too. But he didn't have to experience
• 58:26
  it playing in the games. He experienced it on the bench
• 58:30
  we were thinking at the time. That dynamic duo of Derrick Rose
• 58:32
  and Kebble Walker. Another brick layer for the New
• 58:35
  York Dicks. Oh my God, none of those guys
• 58:38
  ever worked here in New York as good as yes and I and I love
• 58:42
  Rose. I loved him and I and I actually
• 58:45
  liked Randall for a couple of years because he was a great get
• 58:49
  for Donnie Walsh. He really was.
• 58:50
  He was a great get for Donnie. He brings him in.
• 58:53
  He he makes the trade or he signs him.
• 58:56
  No, he signed him in the offseason to that one year deal.
• 58:58
  He had that unbelievable season, then COVID came around, they
• 59:01
  extended him and then it was just he fell flat on his face.
• 59:06
  Then he started to become the layer of bricks as we all
• 59:09
  remember him And, and eventually it'll peer over there with the
• 59:11
  timberwalls. It's just hiding right now.
• 59:13
  Maybe they need some cement. Maybe I should send them some
• 59:16
  cement over here at Madison Square Garden.
• 59:18
  And then he'll start to lay the brick.
• 59:21
  We call this the golf clap of the day.
• 59:25
  This deserves a golf clap, no doubt.
• 59:27
  Golf clap, golf clap. And the golf clap of the day
• 59:32
  goes to the LBA or the whatever you want to call him, the LeBron
• 59:37
  James Association, as we got it to experience before this game,
• 59:42
  this, this debacle of a basketball game, which is I
• 59:46
  don't even know what the score is because we're 40 seconds
• 59:48
  slower than everybody else. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it
• 59:51
  goes to the NBA draft as we experience something.
• 59:56
  What I expected, ladies and gentlemen, as the Spurs fell
• 1:00:00
  short just one pick short of getting Cooper flag as the NBA
• 1:00:06
  has become the absolute joke of the lottery as the Spurs get the
• 1:00:12
  number two pick. And yes, Nico Harrison looks
• 1:00:15
  like he's an absolute God. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm about
• 1:00:18
  to lose my voice. I'm about to go crazy.
• 1:00:21
  I'm going to have a heart attack.
• 1:00:23
  I can't believe the Dallas freaking Maverick.
• 1:00:27
  Win Cooper flag and everything goes away.
• 1:00:30
  All the dusts go away. All the stupidity of trading
• 1:00:35
  Luka Doncic to the Lakers. Well, they got Cooper flag, so
• 1:00:39
  they got to. Could you imagine Cooper flag,
• 1:00:41
  Luka Doncic and Kyrie if that would have never happened?
• 1:00:44
  But I mean, because they wouldn't have.
• 1:00:46
  The second-half of the season wouldn't have been so putrid
• 1:00:49
  like it was. But nevertheless, they win
• 1:00:51
  Cooper flag. What a debacle.
• 1:00:54
  The LJ, The L, I want to call him the LJA because it is LeBron
• 1:00:59
  James, but I'm going to say the whatever it's it's, it's the NBA
• 1:01:04
  LJA, whatever the hell you call it, it's a debacle.
• 1:01:06
  It makes no sense. How does the Spurs, well, what
• 1:01:09
  they had the 10th or the 11th worst record going into this
• 1:01:13
  lottery draft. I don't know what it is, Give
• 1:01:15
  you the number guys, it was bad. How do they go from where they
• 1:01:19
  were supposed to be all the way to 2?
• 1:01:21
  And then The Mavericks, who weren't the worst team.
• 1:01:24
  I feel bad for the other teams. I feel bad for the Hornets.
• 1:01:27
  At least the 76ers got something out of it.
• 1:01:30
  They get the 3rd pick. I don't know who that's going to
• 1:01:32
  be. It's some European players,
• 1:01:33
  somebody, maybe one of those record players.
• 1:01:35
  But is anybody that goes there is practically going to be
• 1:01:39
  buried in the ground by the Philadelphia fan.
• 1:01:41
  So we all know that. Nevertheless, this draft is
• 1:01:44
  going to be very interesting because we all know where Cooper
• 1:01:47
  flags going to go. But how about the Spurs getting
• 1:01:50
  what we expected them to get, one of the top three picks of
• 1:01:53
  this draft. So congratulations to the the
• 1:01:56
  LeBron James Association for allowing this to happen as
• 1:02:00
  Dallas gets 1YO owning the the Spurs in the former, you know,
• 1:02:06
  great Popovich Spurs get #2 and at #3 the Philadelphia 70 liars
• 1:02:13
  are getting the number 3 picks. So congratulations.
• 1:02:15
  They had they had a 1.8% chance. 1.81.8 guys, you hear that?
• 1:02:22
  You hear that, Mackenzie? You hear that?
• 1:02:25
  What are the chances of that happening?
• 1:02:27
  I'll tell you how it happened. The LJA, LeBron James
• 1:02:31
  Association wanted to kiss Nico Harrison's ass or I'm sorry,
• 1:02:36
  Ronaldo, black man's ass as he was sitting in for the Dallas
• 1:02:39
  Mavericks and whoever was sitting there for the 76ers.
• 1:02:43
