Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:18
You don't see Levon doing that. What Jack Hughes did after
0:21
getting his teeth knocked down to play every single shift he
0:24
got back in the game. They're gonna RIP me off.

Take it down, this kid. Go on.

2:22
A lot to get into with sports. The New York Knicks moving on
2:26
and they're not playing the Celtics, they're playing the
2:29
76ers. As the 76ers come back from A31
2:33
deficit to knock off Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum, who
2:37
didn't play in game #7 we'll get into that a little bit later in
2:40
the show, of course. But it's been a crazy, crazy
2:43
weekend. I hope everybody enjoys the
2:44
show. I hope everybody enjoyed their
2:46
weekend. I didn't.
2:47
I'm just kidding, I did. I don't want to, I want to piss
2:49
off anybody, but it was a crazy, crazy travel.
2:52
But again, we're here anyways. How was your weekend?
2:55
Q. Man, it was good.
3:00
It was chill. I didn't do too much, you know,
3:03
I am coaching a middle school football team, which is pretty
3:08
interesting right now. When did this happen?
3:11
This happened maybe about two months ago.
3:14
You never said anything about this.
3:16
Yeah. I mean, we just started
3:17
practicing, but I was in negotiations.
3:21
Oh yeah? What are they paying you?
3:25
But yeah, so I was doing that and you know, running a
3:29
business, you know, I got a executive protection, kids
3:32
protection business. So I was doing that and then,
3:36
yeah, shout out to my sister. She graduates with her master's
3:39
degree. Congratulations.
3:40
This weekend, Arya Coppola out of Kingston, North Carolina, she
3:44
will be graduating with her Master.
3:46
So big shout out to my sister and my wife is doing a worship
3:51
night tonight, which is a big deal.
3:53
Praise the Lord, praise the. Lord, when you have, when you
3:56
have your own worship night, it's, it's a big deal.
3:58
So shout out to her for doing that right now.
4:01
And yeah, man, we we up and up over here.
4:04
We up and up. Up and up I've never.
4:06
Heard that I'm gonna get a victory tonight and seal the
4:08
deal. Oh yeah, you go vent.
4:10
New York Knicks beat the Hawks and will face the 76ers tonight
4:16
ladies and gentlemen as game #1 is about to start.
4:19
The Knicks beat the Hawks in game 6140 to 89 to advance to
4:24
the second round of the NBA Playoffs.
4:26
The Knicks won fit by 51 points which is the largest margin of
4:30
victory in Knicks playoff history and six all time in NBA
4:35
playoff history. The Knicks 47 point lead at
4:38
halftime of Game 6 was also the largest in NBA playoff history
4:43
and also had a plus 104 point differential which is third in
4:49
NBA history for any series and biggest ever for any series that
4:55
wasn't a sweep. The 76 also also came back from
5:00
to beat the Celtics in game #7 one O 9 to 100 in a series where
5:05
the Celtics LED three games to one.
5:08
It was the first time the 76ers ever came back to win a playoff
5:12
series down 3 to 1 and they were the first team in NBA history
5:17
that was a six seed or lower to complete a 31 comeback.
5:23
Joelle and Beat suffered a hip contusion in game #7 versus the
5:27
Celtics, but will be ready for game #1 tonight.
5:32
And Tyrese Maxey is dealing with a finger contusion but is also
5:36
good to play tonight. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we
5:41
sit here today. Anybody knows me, I'm sweating.
5:44
That's why I'm wearing a nice beautiful wife beater and I'm
5:47
looking good for all you ladies. Or I had to throw that one out
5:51
there because I know it bothers Q.
5:53
But here's the facts. The New York Knicks going into
5:57
this series is pretty excited. But again, I'm not excited that
6:02
I have to deal with Joel Embiid. I never want to deal with Joel
6:06
Embiid. And there's a lot of reasons
6:07
why. If you remember the last time
6:09
they played the 76ers, Mitchell Robertson went down early in the
6:12
series, which cost the Knicks. And you're bothered by where the
6:17
New York Knicks is as a team and as an organization because of
6:21
the factors of what we've seen in the past.
6:25
But I don't think you have to worry about it going to this
6:27
series because there's a lot of reasons why you would think that
6:30
the Knicks are the better team. Think about it, the Knicks have
6:34
the best starting 5 now as far as talent is concerned.
6:38
Edgecomb is is a good player, good young player, rookies had a
6:41
very good season. Maxi is a superstar.
6:43
I've always liked Tyrese Maxi, watching him grow up from
6:47
college and and really developing into the NBA.
6:50
Joellen Beat, if he's healthy and he's not crying, he's one of
6:53
the best centers in the league. But here it is.
6:58
The New York Knicks actually have a big man that is showing
7:01
up because to me, Karl Anthony Towns is playing the best
7:05
playoff basketball he's ever had.
7:08
Think about it, what he did with the Timberwolves, how many first
7:10
round exits did the Timberwolves have?
7:13
This team could never get over the hump and and one of the main
7:16
reasons why is Karl Anthony Towns disappears in the series.
7:22
In the first round, the New York Knicks played a young Hawks team
7:26
that believed in themselves the first few games.
7:29
The first three games, the Hawks look like they had the edge
7:32
against the New York Knicks. They did.
7:35
But here is the reason why the New York Knicks are a dangerous
7:38
team. If Karl Anthony Towns plays at a
7:40
high level like this, there is nobody in the NBA that can beat
7:44
them. Nobody.
7:46
Now, can Karl Anthony Towns do this series by series?
7:49
Only time will tell. He's going to have to do it
7:52
against Joel Embiid. He's one of the best big men in
7:54
the league. Karl Anthony Towns is one of the
7:56
best offensive big man in the league, if not the best
7:59
offensive big man in the league. You can argue when it comes to
8:04
all around talent, the 76ers are an edge better than New York,
8:10
than the New York Knicks. But here's the reason why I look
8:14
at the New York Knicks and say that if they play on all
8:17
cylinders, there's no way the 76ers could beat them.
8:20
They have OG and Anobi. They have Mikhail Bridges, they
8:24
have Jose Alvarado, they have McBride.
8:26
The all these guys play defense. Mitchell Robinson is going to
8:30
cause problems for Joel Embiid. Why do you think Joel Embiid
8:33
tried to hurt Mitchell Robertson a couple of years ago in the
8:37
playoffs? Because he knew that Mitchell
8:39
Robertson caused him problems in the hole.
8:43
Every time Joel Embiid went to the hoop, Mitchell Robinson was
8:46
out there smacking the ball, causing really been a flea to
8:50
him week in and week out when they were playing in the
8:53
playoffs. But this is the difference, why
8:57
this team is different than any of those teams that we've seen
8:59
the New York Knicks in the playoffs over the years.
9:03
I think they believe in themselves this year.
9:05
I, I really do, I, I really do believe that this team believes
9:08
they could beat anybody in the Eastern Conference and they can
9:11
compete against anybody in the Western Conference.
9:14
And I would all depends on how they match up against OKC and,
9:17
and the Spurs and the Timberwolves that are moving on
9:21
there. There's a lot of good teams in
9:22
the Western Conference, but in the Eastern Conference there's a
9:25
lot of questions. The Cavaliers, you question,
9:28
especially in the first round against the Toronto Raptors,
9:32
they didn't play very good. As a matter of fact, it went to
9:34
a game seven. We saw what happened in Detroit.
9:36
They were down 3 to one. They came back and knocked off
9:39
the Orlando Magic, who just fired their coach the next day.
9:42
As we expected. The New York Knicks is the best
9:46
team right now in Eastern Conference.
9:48
There's no argument to that. Anybody that believes
9:49
differently, you're blind. Detroit has not been consistent
9:55
for the last two weeks of the season and throughout the
9:58
playoffs. I don't trust Detroit.
10:00
As a matter of fact, I have the Cavaliers winning in six games.
10:04
I don't think they could beat the Cavs, and one of the main
10:08
reasons why is the way Allen is playing in that series.
10:13
I look at the depth that the New York Knicks have shown
10:16
throughout the first round of the playoffs.
10:18
Now I know it's the Atlanta Hawks.
10:19
Everybody's going to sit here. It's just the Atlanta Hawks.
10:21
But I think Mike Brown figured out his rotation slowly but
10:26
surely this rotation has figured things out.
10:29
They've played at a high level. The last two games of the
10:31
series. They played at an ultra high
10:33
level. And you see here today, you
10:36
can't argue the New York Knicks are not playing at a high level.
10:43
But I worry the 76ers came back against a very good Celtic team.
10:49
This is a really, really good Celtic team.
10:53
And they lost. And I know Jayson Tatum didn't
10:55
play in the final game, but Jaylen Brown still played, White
10:59
still played. This is still an aggressive
11:03
Celtic team. Jaylen Brown had a lot to say
11:05
after the series and we'll get into that a little bit later in
11:08
the show. But I'm going to say this right
11:11
now. The 76ers are not a shoe in.
11:14
They're not going to come into the series and and everybody
11:16
thinks that the Knicks are just going to run all over them.
11:18
They're not. The Knicks have to make sure
11:20
that they stick it to them early and make sure that they play the
11:23
chasing game. Joel Embiid is not healthy.
11:25
Tyrese Maxey is not healthy, but they have enough depth.
11:28
They're going to get some offense from Edgecomb.
11:31
Paul George is not the same player, but if Paul George gives
11:34
you 12 and gives you a guy that can defend multiple positions
11:39
when Edgecomb is out or or they start to rotate him with Maxi or
11:43
wherever they put him, Paul George is a shutdown defender.
11:46
He can play at a high level defensively.
11:49
I don't know if he could do it offensively anymore, but it's
11:51
been to me pretty amazing to watch this 76er team.
11:55
And I got to give a shout out to Nurse.
11:57
I think he's one of the best underrated coaches in the NBA.
12:00
This guy won a championship with Toronto.
12:02
This is not a bad coach. This is a guy that knows how to
12:04
win ball games. I worry about Joel Embiid if
12:08
he's playing at a ultra high level and we've seen this, Joel
12:11
Embiid could score 35 on you easy.
12:14
He could do it. He shoots threes.
12:16
He can get into the paint. He causes problems on the board.
12:18
He flops around. He's he's probably one of the
12:21
best floppers in the NBA. Thank you to LeBron James.
12:26
But the fact here is this series is no shoe.
12:29
And I, I think the Knicks are the better team.
12:31
There's no question. I think the Knicks win in five.
12:34
But if, if somehow the Sixers win the game #1 and they pull
12:39
off winning game #1 in New York, this is going to be a problem
12:43
for the Knicks because the Knicks are going to be playing
12:45
the Jason game. And all you have to do is give
12:47
the 76ers any bit of confidence. As we saw in the Celtics series,
12:51
anything can happen. It doesn't matter who the better
12:53
team is. It's the NBA playoffs.
12:57
It's not easy to win a playoff game.
13:00
It never is. And I do believe and you could
13:03
shake your shake your head all you want you because you could
13:06
sit here and argue your points till you're blue in the face.
13:08
Your Celtics lost. You had the Celtics winning that
13:12
series up 3 to one. They lost.
13:13
Now you're going to take the 76ers.
13:15
What? Talking about the sisters
13:17
tonight, though, We're getting my Celtics when we talk about
13:19
the sisters tonight. Yeah, but I'm just saying you
13:21
you had you had the Celtics winning the series 3 to. 10 to
13:24
New York, what else I suppose. Well, you sit here and know that
13:27
after Jason Tatum went down, there was not a chance in hell
13:30
they win that series. I said that, yeah.
13:32
When I look at the 76ers and 76ers are very good on paper,
13:36
they're very, very good. Do they match up very well at
13:40
Madison Square Garden? Because we've seen Joel Embiid,
13:42
we've seen him have great games in Madison Square Garden, and
13:45
we've seen him have bad games in Madison Square Garden.
13:47
And the last time the Knicks played the 76ers in Madison,
13:51
Madison Square Garden, the Knicks smacketh the ass out of
13:54
them. So that's history, but it's
13:56
true. We look at history.
13:59
If you look at. Look at real time with.
14:01
The NBA? Really.
14:02
This is just broke history with the three one comeback.
14:05
What do you mean? Oh, so, so we're going to come
14:07
back. So history is made to be broken,
14:09
so you can't just keep reflecting back on history.
14:11
Oh, he had a horrible game in 2005.
14:15
Well. We're not talking about 2005.
14:18
This happened two years ago. I'm.
14:19
Just saying the generous history.
14:20
And Joella Beat is not 100%. He's not it.
14:23
Wasn't it? Wasn't 2 days ago.
14:25
Yeah, but yeah, here's the thing.
14:26
The Celtics don't have a big man.
14:27
The Celtics. Celtics have nobody to defend
14:29
him. No, they didn't.
14:30
They had nobody to defend him. The New York Knicks have
14:33
Mitchell Robertson, that's going to be on him like white on rice.
14:36
They're going to have him out there a lot.
14:38
When Joel Embiid is out there, they're going to have OG and
14:40
Anobi stick him at some points and the perimeter, if he stands
14:43
in the perimeter, they're going to have guys that are going to
14:45
be able to defend him. So he's not going to have such
14:47
an easy time. And Jason Tatum was not 100%
14:50
healthy in that series. So he to me was not ready and
14:53
wasn't willing to play at 100%. And I don't know why the Celtics
14:57
had him out there. I understand Jason Tatum loves
15:00
the game. He loves the game, but he
15:03
hadn't. To me, if he's my best player or
15:05
he's a player that I built my team around or he's a guy that's
15:09
making 400 and something, $1,000,000, I'm not putting him
15:11
out there and risking him not be able to play next year.
15:15
And what we've heard and what we've heard with Jason Tatum
15:17
after the game, after they they got knocked out is when he it
15:20
was interviewed by the media, he said that one leg is longer than
15:23
the other. So if you know that, why is he
15:26
out there? Why is he out there?
15:29
It makes no sense. That's a growing adjustment.
15:31
It could be that you don't have to necessarily be an injury
15:34
prone cost when you go get adjustment.
15:37
If you, if you're, if you're getting a true chiropractor
15:39
experience, then they'll measure and see if your pelvic growing
15:43
is out of place and then therefore your leg will be
15:45
longer than the other one. But carry on.
15:47
I went to your finish. No, my my argument here is you
15:51
would expect the New York Knicks to win this series, and I expect
15:53
it. I think they're the.
15:54
Better, yeah. I do.
15:56
I think the Knicks are going to win.
15:57
I think they're much better than the 76ers are in the second,
16:01
second-half of every single throughout the playoffs, the
16:06
Knicks have played at a high level.
16:07
In the second-half, especially in the last three games, they've
16:11
played very at a very high level and I expect the Knicks to do
16:14
the same against the 76ers. I think the Hawks are more of a
16:17
flea team that they're A-Team that's going to bite and Nipia
16:20
and everything. The 76ers, they have a lot of
16:23
old players. They got two guys that can't
16:25
stay healthy. Paul George is not a healthy
16:27
guy. He cannot stay healthy.
16:29
Joella P cannot stay healthy. And now you're hearing Tyrese
16:31
Maxi has a contusion on his finger, his shooting finger,
16:35
which could cause problems in this series.
16:37
The way he shoots the ball. I would worry if I'm if I'm a
16:41
76er fan. There's nobody hurt with the New
16:43
York Knicks. There's nothing.
16:44
I haven't heard anything OG and Anobi Mikhail Bridges Carl
16:48
Anthony Towns do. What?
16:49
Hold on, what does Jaylen Fry did you have so much faith in
16:52
Mikhail Bridges? I don't, I'm, I'm, I tell you
16:55
this. Put him out there in the elite
16:56
status like he doing something. Go look at go look at Mikhail
17:00
Bridges his numbers against the 76ers this year.
17:02
I'm not going back in the history.
17:04
It's just the playoffs. Oh, look at what?
17:06
At the top, oh look, this is the playoffs.
17:08
Every game is a new game. This is the playoffs.
17:10
We don't know what to expect until the game happened.
17:13
Here's the thing. The 76ers couldn't defend McHale
17:15
Bridges. They had problems defending him
17:17
when they played the 76ers. And that's something to watch
17:21
because who's going to defend him if he plays the pick and
17:24
roll at the top of the key, which he has not really done
17:26
very well against the Hawks series.
17:28
He showed up in certain certain games, in certain half halves,
17:32
but there are games that he disappears in.
17:33
There's no question. But if you look at Mikhail
17:36
Bridges, his numbers against the 76ers this year, they're pretty
17:39
good and he plays very well against certain teams.
17:41
As a matter of fact, if you look at Mikhail Bridges, his numbers
17:44
against the Atlanta Hawks, they were not good this year.
17:48
So there is something to look at when you look at teams in the
17:51
way you match up against them. It is all about matchups the NBA
17:54
is all about. Matchups.
17:55
He gets up for this heavenly sessions.
17:58
I'm just saying it's matchups. It's the way they defend from
18:00
Philly. I don't even think that has
18:02
anything to do with that. I don't think it has anything to
18:05
do with them being from Philadelphia.
18:07
I just think it's the matchups, how they match up against guys
18:10
like. McDowell Bridges is a better
18:12
match up with who? With the 76ers.
18:14
Advantage up with who? It doesn't matter.
18:17
If you look at if you look at how they defended him this year,
18:20
they had problems defending him. And, and here's the focus,
18:24
obviously 20 point, he's talking about 20 point games.
18:28
That's who we focus on. He's not even in the defensive
18:31
game plan. Oh my God, what are we talking
18:32
about? What I'm saying is is when you
18:34
look at matchups, Mikkel Bridges matches up better against the
18:37
76ers then he'll in Hawks. Go look at the stats if you're
18:41
all about stats and it is with. The I'm not, you are.
18:44
No, I'm not actually at speed. He's the analytic.
18:46
Guy oh, you've been talking about, but that's.
18:48
The whole I have to look at, I look at matchups.
18:50
But against the 76ers? Absolutely.
18:53
Absolutely. It's all about matchups with the
18:55
NBA. It's all it's not like it is in
18:57
hockey. It's not like it is in baseball
19:00
or football. And even in football, if you
19:03
watch the regular season, the way teams defend other players
19:06
and and that it happens in the playoffs, it especially if
19:09
you're matched up against them in the playoffs.
19:10
Sometimes A-Team, if you have Sean McVay or one of these
19:14
offensive geniuses, they find ways that they couldn't do in in
19:18
in the game of the regular season, how to fuck pick you
19:20
apart in certain parts of those games in the playoffs.
19:23
But again, it to me with the NBA, it's it's really all about
19:27
matchups. It's how you match up against
19:29
that team. How are they going to defend
19:30
against you? How did they defend against the
19:32
high pick and roll, which the Knicks love to run, which to me
19:36
is their bread and butter. And, and again, I'll say this
19:39
about the 76ers. If you look at any team they
19:42
played throughout the season, when they play a lot of the high
19:46
pick and roll, especially when you have guys like Jalen Brunson
19:49
that likes to dominate and he likes to control the pace of the
19:53
game, they're going to have problems against the New York
19:55
Knicks. I I wouldn't be surprised if the
19:57
Knicks. Who's guarded by who's going to
19:58
do what they going to do on the back here on the?
20:00
Other Who's going to guard Jalen Brunson?
20:03
Who's gonna Seriously, who's guarding Jalen Brunson?
20:06
I. Don't know that the seven this
20:07
is the defensive. I do.
20:08
I'm sure they, but they, they don't have anybody that can
20:10
guard Jalen Brunson one-on-one. But.
20:12
Yeah, who? They don't have anybody that can
20:14
guard Jalen Brunson right now. One.
20:15
On one and neither do y'all don't have nobody that can guard
20:17
Massey. Maxie, yes, they do.
20:19
They have Ochi Nadopi. They have Mikkel Bridges.
20:21
They keep up with Massey. What are you too?
20:23
Slow. Wait.
20:23
Well, hold on one second. I'll say this about Tyrese Maxie
20:26
and he's right now when it comes to FanDuel, I, I checked it out.
20:31
He's supposedly supposed to get a + 25 in this game.
20:34
That's what they're expecting, 25 points or more in this game.
20:37
I do not believe he's going to score 25 points in Madison
20:40
Square Garden tonight. I don't.
20:42
He's not healthy. That's one.
20:44
And #2 they're going to stick OG Anobi on him practically the
20:47
whole game. They know Maxi is their number
20:50
right now. They know Maxi is their number
20:52
one option. He is going to be, and
20:54
Edgecomb's a good player. But you put Mikhail Bridges on
20:57
Edgecomb, he's a rookie. He's a rookie.
21:01
Has never been in this position before.
21:03
And the 76ers always choke. They always choke.
21:08
They always. Do what you want them to do, but
21:10
do you know, just blame it. Like these people ain't
21:13
talented. Over Do you know that Joellen
21:15
Beat has never played in the Easter Conference final?
21:18
Did you know that? Do you know he's the only?
21:20
He's never overcame a three word deficit.
21:23
That's fine, that's fine, but he didn't even play in that whole.
21:26
Series it could happen. He only played it two games in
21:28
that series. Doesn't matter.
21:29
Yes it does. Yes it does.
21:31
It wasn't all because of him why they won.
21:34
They had a lot of players show up in those games and produce.
21:38
So you're going to sit. Here, not going to show up.
21:40
And don't give me that Aubrey crap I don't want to hear.
21:42
That no, I know you hate. I don't know because it's not
21:44
true. Here you are bringing up
21:47
bridges, but hey. It's not true, whatever you're
21:49
saying, that you think Aubrey is the reason why they came back in
21:52
that series. That's.
21:53
A fat there. I'm not saying he's a superstar.
21:54
I just said he's a fat there. And the Kell bridges.
21:56
Shot, you get a big stop. Those things matter to you.
21:59
You got to look at the boxer. You got to say, Oh yeah, he
22:02
scored 20, so he's worthless. That's how you, that's how you
22:05
great players. No, that's not how I great
22:07
players. I great players by watching them
22:09
and seeing how they play, how they defend and how they play at
22:13
a high level. And if you're going to tell me
22:14
right now you trust Aubrey over Mikhail Bridges in a one-on-one
22:18
kind of game, you're out of your mind and it just shows you
22:21
you're a little lost. You're a little lost.
22:22
I'm going to help you out here. I'm going to help you out here.
22:25
I'm going to help you out here. I'm just going to help you out
22:27
here. You look in Mikhail Bridges,
22:30
what he did against the Celtics in the second series last year.
22:35
I am. I am.
22:37
What's going on today? Where we at?
22:39
When? When it comes, when it comes to
22:40
matchups, Mikhail Bridges matched up very well against the
22:43
Celtics and he matches up very well against the 76ers.
22:46
As a matter of fact, I'm going to predict something, even
22:49
something crazy tonight for anybody that's going to watch
22:52
the Knick game. I predict Mikhail Bridges to
22:55
score 18 or more points in tonight's game.
22:57
I predicted tonight. You're laughing.
23:00
I'm telling you right now, Michael Bridges will score 18 or
23:03
more points in tonight's game and the reason why matchups that
23:08
is why guys 18 or more. You get 2 free throws.
23:15
Right now, what does Vegas have them?
23:17
What is he? What does?
23:18
He care about figures. I'm talking to Errol.
23:20
I'm giving him 18 points and Vegas has him at 14.
23:23
That's a pretty high sum, am I not?
23:26
Am I not arguing this right? And I'm going to say this for
23:28
you. Qi don't know what it is about
23:31
you and the New York Knicks. His prior Prof is 10 1/2.
23:34
OK, I'm going to tell you he's going to get 8 more points, 8
23:37
more points, buy into that baby, all because of matchups.
23:41
Are we betting? What do we want to bet I'm?
23:46
Betting with my buddy. I'm not betting anything.
23:49
I'm telling you right now, I, I believe you don't want to.
23:52
I, no. Condemn that why you can't take
23:54
it? Wait a second, wait a second,
23:55
dude, I've asked you to bet many, many times.
23:58
And you? You.
23:58
We bet it. I know I told you you.
24:01
Beat around a Bush, you beat around a Bush.
24:03
Maybe you need to shave your Bush because there's something
24:06
you're beating around that is just not hitting on a total sum.
24:09
To this I'm telling you right now I think you definitely he
24:12
scores more than 10 points absolutely absolutely absolutely
24:17
more than 10 points tonight. You could put put put all the
24:20
money on it. If you're a betting man or woman
24:22
right now, put $100 on it. He is scoring more than 10
24:26
points tonight. No damn, no damn argument on
24:29
that. Anybody out there that is going
24:31
to argue with me, argue with me right now or listening to the
24:33
show right now. If you're a betting man or
24:35
woman, listen to this take before the game starts.
24:38
Put whatever you want on McHale. Bridge is scoring more than 10
24:41
points tonight because he's. It's an absolute slam dunk on.
24:44
It if you lose, he's going to fund.
24:46
If I lose, I'll pay you all back.
24:48
There you go, I'll pay you all back.
24:50
That's more like if. I lose, I'll pay you back.
24:53
Go speedy. Yeah, as I say, Q, this is who
24:55
you have guarding Michaela Verges.
24:56
You're going to trust either a 35 year old Paul George who's
24:58
still a good defender, but it's not like as quick as it used to
25:01
be and like Errol said last week, not as.
25:03
Good. 28 years old? Yeah, please.
25:05
And you have a 20 year old rookie in Edgecombe who I always
25:08
liked but is still kind of, kind of.
25:11
He's raw, yeah. Kind of raw and then you have
25:14
your your boy 31 year old journeyman or something like
25:16
that, Kelly Ubrey, who's OK but not.
25:19
Kelly Ubrey, that's what we're what we speak about.
25:22
Those are all your options. Was it Kelly Ubrey drafted by
25:25
OKC? Was it?
25:27
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Wizards that he was with that
25:29
Kelly Ubrey, a high draft pick, a top five, top six draft pick,
25:33
if I'm not this day, was a pretty high draft pick.
25:34
He was horrible, overrated, and you're going to sit here and
25:38
you're going to argue Kelly Ubrey, who's a bench player,
25:41
He's like the 7th man off the. Bat, it's going to be a
25:43
contributor body here. I give it to you right now.
25:45
It's going to be a contributor. Defensively, I have.
25:48
Kelly Ubrey is not going to make a difference in this.
25:50
Series. That's my 2 takes right there.
25:51
That's what we better know that McHale, Bridges don't score 18
25:55
points and that Ubrey have impact plays in this game.
26:00
Why? Because he scores.
26:01
Oh, he hits a couple of shots and that makes.
26:03
Him. Play back, shift the momentum.
26:05
That's what we're going to sell. He's got impact plays because he
26:07
scores a couple of shots. That's an impact player get.
26:11
Out of the right time, What if you turn the?
26:12
Cell to the fans out you listen to this show at the right what's
26:15
the right time at the right time what is the right time Give me
26:18
the right time. Tell me, Tell me what down?
26:19
What? You have somebody to score.
26:21
You're down 5, you're down 10. You need somebody to score to
26:24
get that momentum. You score all right, or you need
26:26
a defensive stop. You're down 10 and you need a.
26:30
Get you that defensive. Still.
26:31
And then he scored. That's what it is.
26:32
It's called momentum shifting. Kelly Obrey, Kelly Obrey, The
26:36
same Kelly Obrey I remember that was drifted by.
26:39
That man doesn't play defense. He don't play defense.
26:43
My dad is clear after that, that's why.
26:46
Your dad, I didn't make no bets. Your dad is clear.
26:50
I didn't bet. I said what I'm telling you
26:53
right now. He scores more than 10 points
26:54
tonight. I think he gets 18.
26:56
I think no, that's not what I that's what I'm telling you.
27:00
He scores more than 10 points and I'm going to say this, Kelly
27:02
Ubrey is not going to be a factor in tonight's game.
27:04
He will not be a factor in this. Game.
27:06
That's how I bet. That's how I bet.
27:08
All right, Errol, here's why he's going to spend score more
27:11
than 10 points, Errol, because Embiid and George are screwed
27:14
against this Knicks offense. Don't you realize they're just
27:17
going to cut behind them all day?
27:19
And Embiid, they don't want to play that kind of defense
27:21
anymore. They'll play one-on-one defense,
27:23
but the Knicks aren't doing that.
27:25
The Knicks are going to be running them all over the place.
27:27
And that's not that. This is a nightmare matchup
27:30
defensively for the Sixers clip now.
27:34
Now it's going to be hard for the Knicks to stop them as well.
27:36
And that's why I think the Sixers will make it a series
27:39
because they're good at times. But I look, I think it's a 5
27:43
game series and maybe two of those other games the Knicks win
27:45
or close. I don't think it's much more
27:47
than that. And I think the Knicks are
27:49
really have an advantage everywhere.
27:51
And don't forget, Jalen Bronson won two national championships
27:55
on that homecourt over there in Philly, and he is not afraid.
27:58
Oh my. God playing in that.
28:00
Place at all? He loves playing there.
28:03
That was his homecourt in college.
28:04
That's the championship. And guess who else was there
28:07
too? Josh Hart was there too.
28:09
And Mikhail Bridges. I don't.
28:11
I don't look at that. I don't.
28:13
All our fans will be on your court, you know that this will
28:17
travel. I don't care if MB doesn't want
28:19
us buying tickets. We already got the tickets MBD,
28:22
sorry. She's trying to do what?
28:26
What's that smell when the Rams are trying to block the 49ers?
28:29
Playoff tickets or whatever or one of the not playoff tickets,
28:31
one of the other tickets like late game season or?
28:33
Something like that season, yeah.
28:35
I don't care about. That.
28:36
I don't care about the the that Jalen Bronson won a
28:39
championship, a national championship in Philadelphia.
28:42
I don't mean I know where he played.
28:44
That has nothing to do with it. I'm just, I'm just, we know.
28:47
We know it's not because. You said in the regular season
28:51
he did this, he's going to the NASA championship.
28:53
Hold on, hold on. What I'm saying, what I'm what
28:56
I'm saying, and maybe you need to listen.
28:58
What I was saying is when these teams matched up against each
29:02
other this year, Mikhail Bridges had some of his best games.
29:07
Why? Because they couldn't defend
29:10
him. He's long and he plays at a when
29:13
he wants to play at a high level, he plays at a high level.
29:16
And I'm going to tell you this right now against the 76ers and
29:19
against the Celtics, I would have thought that this would be
29:22
a better match up for Mikael Bridges than it was with the
29:24
Hawks. The Hawks are young.
29:26
They play a light, a lot of very fast pass game pace game up and
29:30
down the court. You laugh, but it's true.
29:31
It's a little about 56. All right, all right, let's go.
29:34
Let's go look at the teams that play a very fast game and why I
29:38
believe Mikael Bridges has problems against him.
29:40
Remember against OKC Speedy, you remember that?
29:42
I remember that game. I remember in Madison Square
29:44
Garden, Mikael Bridges completely disappeared in that
29:46
game. And why did he disappear in the
29:48
game? Because it's a fast past game.
29:50
And Mikhail Bridges, when he gets caught behind on the
29:52
defensive side of the ball, he doesn't play at a high level.
29:56
He plays when Mikhail Bridges is on.
29:58
He defends the player very, very well.
30:01
He he takes the ball away and he moves up and down the court at a
30:05
very good clip. And that's, that's when you know
30:07
Mikhail Bridges is playing at a high level.
30:09
He's stealing the ball, he's playing defense, he's sticking
30:11
his man. When he's playing defense, he's
30:14
going to score. That's what he does.
30:15
His value is the defensive side of the ball, not the offensive
30:19
side of the ball. But when he can do, when he does
30:21
that at a high level, he always plays very well on the other
30:25
side of the ball against Atlanta.
30:27
Atlanta has been a problem for Mikhail Bridges all season long.
30:30
I'm going to tell you this. Go look at Mikhail Bridges
30:33
numbers against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
30:35
Go look at that. Not a fast-paced team.
30:37
Not a fast-paced team. Go look at Mikhail Bridges, his
30:40
numbers against them. I'm just speaking the truth.
30:42
It's all about matchups. And I'm going to tell you this,
30:46
the 76ers are not a fast-paced team.
30:49
They got slow. Joel Embiid going up and down
30:51
the court. Paul George isn't 100% healthy
30:54
anymore. Edge comes fast.
30:55
He's good. You want to talk?
30:56
You want to spo me, Aubrey? Go ahead, Kelly.
30:59
Aubrey. You want to throw that to me?
31:02
Knicks are not a fast-paced. Team.
31:03
No, they're not. But I'll tell you this, I'll
31:07
tell you this. The Knicks played at a higher
31:09
pace game this year than they did last year.
31:11
And also they were, they're also a faster paced team than they
31:13
were when they played in 2020. Four.
31:15
Yes, they were and yes, they have been.
31:18
And that's because Mike Brown likes to play that high pissed.
31:21
Watch when Jose Alvarado comes into the game.
31:23
Watch when he comes into the game how fast they are.
31:26
I'm just saying they didn't play against Jose Alvarado two years
31:30
ago. They didn't and they they're
31:32
using Sochin and I'm going to tell you this right now, they're
31:34
going to use Sochin in this series because he's a good
31:37
rebounder and he's good perimeter defender.
31:41
That's what he. Is going out to shut down Kelly
31:43
Uber? Kelly.
31:43
Uber, that's what. We're going to see Sochin 10
31:46
plus rebound McHale Bridges. I didn't say that I.
31:48
Didn't say that he's. Not going to.
31:50
Play it off the guitar I. Didn't say that.
31:52
He got Sochen. He's like the tenth guy in the
31:54
rotation and they have guys to throw at this this team, if they
31:59
get somewhat, if Paul George is having a good game, then you got
32:02
guys you could throw fouls at and defense at and then you can
32:05
still get your offense and that's that's a nightmare for
32:07
the Sixers. I I just think it's a really bad
32:09
matchup for Philadelphia. I think we've seen the Knicks
32:12
already dominate this matchup and I think you're going to see
32:15
it again. I'm real confident.
32:16
It's going to be a gentleman sweep.
32:18
That's what everybody's betting like.
32:19
Gentlemen's. Five games.
32:22
Well, look, they're -250 in Vegas, the.
32:25
So it's 5:00 to 2:00 odds the Knicks are favorite.
32:28
So it's a pretty, it's not like overwhelming, but that's a
32:31
pretty big favorite, you know? How the injury reports, It's the
32:35
drama, Yeah, I get. It there's a lot of drama,
32:37
always a lot of drama, ladies and gentlemen, I'm just speaking
32:40
the truth here. If you look at both teams and
32:43
you look at the match up, yeah, I I think they're going to be
32:45
pesty. I do believe the 76ers in some
32:48
games are going to make, they're going to have a 10 point lead
32:50
and they're going to have to play catch up and they're going
32:53
to try to stick it to them early in the game.
32:54
They're going to try to get Joellen be more involved early
32:57
in the game because he likes to flop and put people in foul
33:01
shooting trouble and all that other.
33:04
That's what he yes, he's a flopper.
33:06
And I'm going to tell you this right now, the referees, the
33:09
referees are going to be watching this game in this
33:12
series because a lot of people have been complaining about the
33:15
first round in the playoffs, the different flopping.
33:17
I don't know. Has anybody watched the
33:19
Cleveland Cavaliers series? Oh my God, there were more flops
33:23
in that series than any other series.
33:25
Even Donovan Mitchell's flopping.
33:27
And he's never been a flopper. He was never a flopper.
33:31
Ever. They're not getting the calls
33:33
that they usually get in the regular season.
