  We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he

• 2:58
  gentlemen, welcome to the show where their takes are hot, the
• 3:02
  jokes are reckless. And if your favorite team lost
• 3:05
  tonight, you might want to turn the volume down right now.
• 3:09
  My name is Errol Marks. Tonight we'll got we got drama,
• 3:12
  chaos, grown man throwing baseballs 103 mph like they
• 3:19
  built in a laboratory. New York sports fans losing
• 3:22
  years off their life expense expectancies.
• 3:26
  And somewhere out there, a Philly fan is currently arguing
• 3:30
  with a traffic cone after another playoff collapse.
• 3:33
  We don't do boring, that's for damn sure.
• 3:36
  Especially around here. We laugh, we yell, we overreact
• 3:40
  responsibly and kind of sometimes grab your food or, I
• 3:46
  don't know, hide your group chats if your team gets
• 3:49
  embarrassed tonight. And let's get into another
• 3:52
  insane night in sports because trust me, the Internet is
• 3:57
  already on fire. So I had to, I had to give you
• 3:59
  that take, that intro to give you guys a little take of what
• 4:02
  we are. If you've never listened to our
• 4:04
  show, well, I'm losing my voice. There's been a lot of screaming
• 4:08
  this weekend. I've been emceeing a couple of
• 4:10
  weddings, but I'm always here to entertain you guys and I'm sure
• 4:14
  everybody's going to be entertained tonight.
• 4:16
  We're going to get into a lot of stuff.
• 4:18
  Anyways, we got to get into the Knicks.
• 4:20
  The Knicks won Game 4 versus the 76ers, 144 to 114 to complete
• 4:25
  the sweep, their first sweep since 1999.
• 4:28
  The last time they went to the Finals, the Knicks tied a
• 4:31
  playoff record for the most 3 pointers made in a game, 1/2 and
• 4:35
  1/4. This included 73 pointers by
• 4:39
  Miles McBride and six by Jalen Brunson.
• 4:43
  Josh Hart also took shots at Philadelphia sports fan saying I
• 4:48
  used to think Philadelphia was a great sports town.
• 4:52
  Tyrese Maxey also said that it absolutely sucks that the Knicks
• 4:57
  fans were taking over his team's home arena.
• 5:01
  Joel Embiid also claimed after game three that the series was
• 5:05
  rigged in favor of the Knicks and mention the differences in
• 5:09
  free throws. Meanwhile, the Sixers had double
• 5:14
  the amount of free throws than the Knicks had, with 34,
• 5:18
  compared to 17 for the Knicks. The Knicks have a + 194 point
• 5:24
  differential in the playoffs, the best in NBA history in the
• 5:29
  first two rounds. Now I, I will say this for all
• 5:34
  the fans that listen to this show and know me and understand
• 5:37
  how I am, I did say the Knicks were going to win 5, four to
• 5:41
  one. I thought it was going five.
• 5:43
  I did not think the Knicks were going to sweep.
• 5:46
  I thought that Tyrese Maxey was going to come out strong.
• 5:49
  But I, I got to give a lot of credit to the one guy that
• 5:52
  everybody takes shots at, and that's Mikhail Bridges.
• 5:56
  Mikhail Bridges. And I told everybody, this is
• 5:58
  something that I said me and Q went out of each other when the
• 6:01
  series started. And I said, Mikhail Bridges is
• 6:03
  going to show up in this series and he's going to play at a high
• 6:05
  level. And he had to.
• 6:07
  And he defended Tyrese Maxi as as good as we can see a player
• 6:12
  defend him all season long. He played at a high level.
• 6:16
  He scored and and and he did what he needed to do.
• 6:19
  And I'll say this about the Knicks.
• 6:20
  If you think about the players after OG and Nanobi got hurt and
• 6:25
  was out for the really the whole series.
• 6:28
  He played at the first two games and then he got knocked out.
• 6:31
  Jayla Brunson at 22, Karl Anthony Towns averaged 19, Miles
• 6:35
  McBride averaged 14.5, Josh Hart averaged 13.8, McHale Bridges
• 6:41
  averaged 13 and OG and Nanobi averaged 12 .7.
• 6:45
  And the Knicks average 120 points per game, which leads the
• 6:50
  playoffs. Just so everybody knows, the
• 6:52
  Knicks have been dominant throughout the playoffs
• 6:55
  offensively. And you got to give a lot of
• 6:57
  credit to Mike Brown. Mike Browns changed everything
• 7:00
  for the New York Knicks offensively, the transition of
• 7:04
  players and and the bench. It's been very, very cool to
• 7:08
  watch. Something that Tom Thibodeau did
• 7:09
  not do over the years. In the last two seasons, he
• 7:12
  played seven guys at best. You're watching the Knicks if,
• 7:17
  and I know everybody's going to say well at in the fourth
• 7:19
  quarter, they're playing all the other players because the Knicks
• 7:22
  are killing the 76ers. But here's the thing, even if
• 7:27
  the fourth quarter was not close or was close, I I believe Mike
• 7:34
  Brown was going to play at least 9 or 10 guys and he's been doing
• 7:37
  that throughout the playoffs. That's something I think Mike
• 7:40
  Brown has changed for the New York Knicks.
• 7:42
  Knicks it's giving Jaylen Bronson a little bit more time.
• 7:45
  If you look at Jaylen Bronson and in the later third quarter,
• 7:48
  he's sitting him, especially if the Knicks are up a significant
• 7:51
  amount. Karl Anthony talents has become
• 7:53
  a point, a point center. It it's been amazing to watch
• 7:57
  Karl Anthony Karl Anthony Towns in the playoffs this year has
• 8:01
  changed the way he looks at the game.
• 8:04
  And if Karl Anthony Towns plays like this, nobody's stopping the
• 8:08
  New York Knicks. Even OK C, where everybody says
• 8:11
  has been the most dominant team over the last two seasons in the
• 8:15
  playoffs, the way the Knicks are playing, the way they're getting
• 8:18
  points from Miles McBride and they're getting it from the
• 8:21
  bench. They didn't even need OG and
• 8:23
  Anobi the last two games of the series.
• 8:24
  They didn't. They all they needed was a guy
• 8:28
  to step up and Miles McBride did.
• 8:31
  Mikhail Bridges defended Tyrese Maxey, who's the best offensive
• 8:36
  option. Paul George looks old.
• 8:37
  He's got two more years left on his contract.
• 8:41
  Think about that. Look at Philadelphia, they're in
• 8:45
  a position now where they have to deal with Joel Embiid, which
• 8:48
  he signed an extension. He's got three years left on his
• 8:51
  contract. Paul George has two till 2028.
• 8:55
  They're not in a good situation. The Knicks are in a great
• 8:59
  situation because Miles McBride still has one more year left in
• 9:03
  his contract. Now they're going to have to
• 9:05
  figure out what they're going to do with Mitchell Robinson.
• 9:08
  I don't know if they bring them back.
• 9:09
  That's depend. That depends on what they do
• 9:11
  throughout the playoffs. If the Knicks win a
• 9:14
  championship, I think they bring Mitchell Robinson back.
• 9:17
  I think they re sign him, they extend him.
• 9:20
  Everybody keeps talking about Giannis and we'll get into where
• 9:22
  we think Giannis is going to go in the offseason.
• 9:25
  But this New York Knick team is is playing on all cylinders.
• 9:28
  And I don't know what cylinders there are.
• 9:30
  I don't know What Car. You're going to want to point it
• 9:32
  out. You want to call it, you want to
• 9:33
  call it a Lamborghini, you want to call it a Porsche, whatever
• 9:36
  you want to call it. Ladies and gentlemen, the Knicks
• 9:38
  are playing at a such a high level.
• 9:40
  You cannot deny it right now. Josh Hart, everything that he
• 9:44
  says. And Josh Hart, I think is the
• 9:46
  leader of this team. You could say whatever you want.
• 9:48
  Jalen Brunson is the captain, but the leader of this team is
• 9:52
  Josh Hart. Look at when when the timeouts
• 9:54
  come, look at Josh Hart on the bench.
• 9:57
  He's going, he's talking to all the players.
• 9:59
  You can see the difference on who Josh Hart is, his
• 10:02
  personality. If you watch their show, their
• 10:05
  podcast, who leads that show, it's Josh Hart.
• 10:08
  Josh Hart is the personality and and everybody is flocking to
• 10:13
  him. The media flocks to him after
• 10:14
  the game because he's got a lot to say and he doesn't throw
• 10:17
  anybody under the bus. But he's honest and that's the
• 10:20
  difference. When you talk to OJ Anobi, he's
• 10:23
  very clear on what he wants to say.
• 10:25
  Even Jalen Bronson, he's very clear on what he wants to say.
• 10:28
  Karl Anthony Townsend is a nice guy.
• 10:30
  Josh Hart, he doesn't give a crap.
• 10:32
  Josh Hart's going to go out there and he's going to tell you
• 10:34
  what he feels. He doesn't care what you think
• 10:37
  of him. And that's what's great.
• 10:38
  I mean, how many times did we see Josh Hart walk on the
• 10:40
  sidelines? We saw him do it at Jimmy
• 10:42
  Fallon. I mean, he united his his shoes
• 10:46
  or sneakers. Timothy Chalamet, he was he, he
• 10:50
  smacked him in the back of the head when when he got pulled out
• 10:53
  of the game. I mean, there's so many things
• 10:55
  that you like about Josh Hart. He brings excitement to this
• 10:58
  team. It's it.
• 10:59
  This is a different team than they were last year.
• 11:03
  We saw this team completely die in the Eastern Conference finals
• 11:07
  last year against an Indiana team they were much better than.
• 11:10
  I don't care who the Knicks play in the next series, if if it's
• 11:13
  Detroit or the Cavs, if they play at this level and OJ Nanobi
• 11:17
  is healthy, I don't think any one of those teams are going to
• 11:20
  beat them now. I think Detroit is the scarier
• 11:22
  one than the Cavs. And the reason why is they play
• 11:25
  hard nosed defense, they punch in the mouth.
• 11:28
  They're a different team. The Cavs, they're more of a
• 11:31
  flopping group. They like to flop.
• 11:33
  I love Kenny Atkinson. I I like some of the players.
• 11:37
  I think James Harden is a great player.
• 11:38
  He's not a great playoff player. I love Donovan Mitchell, the
• 11:41
  Spider. I love what they have on their
• 11:43
  roster. I just, I don't think they have
• 11:47
  enough to beat the Knicks the way the Knicks are playing at
• 11:49
  the level they're playing. But I will say this to the
• 11:51
  76ers, and I don't want to hear any of the bitching and moaning
• 11:56
  by Tyrese Maxey saying that why aren't our fans showing up to
• 12:00
  the games? I heard through the Grapevine
• 12:03
  that there were people standing out of the stadium and giving
• 12:06
  away free tickets to the Philadelphia fans because they
• 12:08
  wanted to pack out their stadium.
• 12:10
  How bad is that? How bad is that?
• 12:13
  When you hear that story and I heard it through multiple
• 12:17
  sources, ladies and gentlemen, multiple sources that there were
• 12:20
  guys ticket people outside of the stadium handing away
• 12:25
  tickets, making sure that Philadelphia fans were in the
• 12:27
  stadium because they wanted to pack out so they can compete
• 12:31
  with the Knick fans. That's sad.
• 12:33
  That's it. Philadelphia is a great place, a
• 12:36
  great sporting place to be. It really is.
• 12:39
  And and their basketball with Allen Iverson and Allen Iverson.
• 12:42
  I want to, I would love to get Allen Iverson on the show
• 12:44
  because Allen Iverson was at every single home game.
• 12:48
  He was there. He was there for game three and
• 12:50
  he was there for Game 4. And Allen Iverson was the face
• 12:53
  of this franchise for a very, very long time.
• 12:56
  And I remember when before Allen Iverson came to the Philadelphia
• 13:01
  76ers, he played for Georgetown. And when he played against
• 13:06
  Villanova, the Philadelphia fans booed him, hated him, absolutely
• 13:10
  couldn't stand him. But Philadelphia wins the
• 13:12
  lottery draft, they get Allen Iverson, and he became a fan
• 13:16
  favorite in the face of this organization for many, many
• 13:18
  years. Allen Iverson is one of the best
• 13:20
  shooting guards to ever play in this game.
• 13:22
  But I will say this, I got to give Edge Comb a lot of credit.
• 13:26
  Edge Combs going to be a nice players, going to be a great
• 13:28
  young player in this league. You can see the development of
• 13:31
  the skid. Shout out to Kyle Lowry, who's
• 13:34
  probably going to retire a step away from the NBAI don't think
• 13:37
  he's a Hall of Famer, but everybody gets into the NBA Hall
• 13:39
  of Fame, so who knows? Kyle Lowry was a five time, six
• 13:42
  time All Star, So maybe he sneaks into the the Hall of
• 13:46
  Fame. I don't think he's a Hall of
• 13:47
  Famer, but he he was a great player, great leader, won a
• 13:50
  championship with Toronto. So shout out to him.
• 13:52
  Very well deserved. Kelly Ubrey, And I'll say this
• 13:56
  about Kelly Ubrey. I, I don't like the hairstyle.
• 13:59
  I don't the purple or whatever the hell you have in your hair.
• 14:01
  You're pink, whatever, you're transparent, whatever you needed
• 14:06
  to show up better for this team. You needed that off the ball
• 14:11
  offense that we needed to see in this series.
• 14:14
  If you wanted to be in this series, that's what you saw with
• 14:17
  Miles McBride when he took over for OG and Anobi.
• 14:19
  That's what you've seen with some of the players that you
• 14:22
  brought the bench. Even Jose Alvarado, he was
• 14:24
  hitting shots. He was doing the things that you
• 14:26
  needed him to do. He was a pest on the basketball
• 14:29
  court, defending multiple positions, not just the point
• 14:32
  guard position, the shooting guard position.
• 14:33
  At some point, Alvarado was defending the three.
• 14:36
  That's what you want to see with your secondary players.
• 14:39
  And again, I think the difference of this team, I'm,
• 14:42
  I'm going to tell you this, the difference of this team are two
• 14:44
  things #1 Mike Brown. Mike Brown is a complete
• 14:50
  difference maker to this team. I, I, I, I really do believe
• 14:55
  that this team has transformed from what they were in the
• 14:58
  regular season and how he figured this team out and how
• 15:02
  it's transformed into what it is now.
• 15:04
  He has been amazing and even some of the things that he says
• 15:07
  after the game, it shows everybody how deep he is in to
• 15:13
  where the team is starting to believe in him as a head coach.
• 15:17
  I don't know if they were believing him, believing in him
• 15:20
  during the season, but I thought as the playoffs began and
• 15:23
  remember when they fell down 2 to one against the Hawks and
• 15:26
  then he went up there and he said, listen, the team's not
• 15:29
  playing at a high level. We got to figure things out.
• 15:31
  I, we're, we're better than this team.
• 15:34
  I believe we're a championship competitive team.
• 15:36
  We got to figure it out. We're going to put it together
• 15:37
  and we're going to come out strong.
• 15:39
  And he did. He that team came out strong.
• 15:42
  And I, I'll tell you this, the other guy is Karl friggin
• 15:45
  Anthony Towns. Everything that I've said about
• 15:49
  Karl Anthony Towns over the years, he doesn't have heart.
• 15:53
  He doesn't show up when he you need him.
• 15:56
  He doesn't play at a high level when you need him to play at a
• 15:59
  high level. He's all about shooting the ball
• 16:01
  and hogging the ball and being the aggressor.
• 16:05
  He changed everything in the series.
• 16:08
  Everything that he did in the series transformed to what we
• 16:12
  thought Karl Anthony Towns coming to New York could
• 16:15
  transform this team into a championship team, a contender.
• 16:19
  And now this guy is averaging, almost averaged a triple double
• 16:24
  in some parts of this series and he wasn't scoring.
• 16:27
  There were games that he was averaging 56 points because he
• 16:29
  was in foul trouble, but he was averaging 10 rebounds and 11
• 16:32
  assists. I mean, the guy was just
• 16:35
  fantastic and he did everything you needed him to do.
• 16:38
  If it was Jalen Bronson's game or Miles McBride's game or Josh
• 16:42
  Hart's game, he made sure that they were getting the ball.
• 16:45
  And that, to me, shows you how much he's become a leader to
• 16:49
  this franchise and this organization.
• 16:52
  For anybody that thinks that Karl Anthony Towns hasn't grown
• 16:54
  up, ladies and gentlemen, this has shown everybody he's grown
• 16:58
  up. And I love what I see with this
• 17:01
  team now. I don't know what they're going
• 17:02
  to do moving forward, being out for a week and a half.
• 17:06
  And that could happen. I mean, think about it this
• 17:08
  series the Cavs in Detroit can go for the next week and 1/2.
• 17:12
  So the Knicks might not play in two weeks, which is a bad,
• 17:15
  that's a bad thing. But OG and nobody's got to get
• 17:17
  healthy. Some of the players need to get
• 17:19
  healthy. I heard that Jaylen Bronson
• 17:21
  ankle still needs to get get to 100%.
• 17:24
  So this is great timing for the New York Knicks, but boy, oh
• 17:28
  boy, Speedy. It's been amazing to watch.
• 17:30
  Yeah, I'm not as worried about that with the rest versus rest
• 17:33
  factor. With basketball, we always say
• 17:34
  what which is better, which is worse.
• 17:36
  I think for hockey, I I think waiting that long like
• 17:39
  Carolina's going to have to do is is a bad thing for them.
• 17:41
  But I think in basketball usually that benefits A-Team to
• 17:43
  be able to rest up and get healthy because obviously these
• 17:46
  players advocate for the low management all the time in the
• 17:48
  NBA. So you they want those
• 17:50
  particular rest periods where you're not trying to get worn
• 17:53
  down. And especially with Detroit and
• 17:54
  Cleveland, they're very physical teams too.
• 17:56
  So if they can definitely wear out for A7 game series that
• 17:59
  they're definitely a big help for the Knicks because the
• 18:01
  Knicks, they're fresh. They can play in so many
• 18:03
  different ways. And that's what you saw in this
• 18:04
  series. You've seen for the first time a
• 18:06
  New York Knicks team really be 10 deep.
• 18:08
  It's crazy to think this depth is just insane.
• 18:11
  We were talking about all the year like who has the depth that
• 18:12
  contend with the OKC Thunder? The Knicks are getting there now
• 18:15
  to have that because Alvarado's playing really well offensively,
• 18:18
  Shamitz shooting very well. You're seeing the the young kids
• 18:20
  play very well and Clarkson, like all these guys off the
• 18:23
  bench when OG and Anobi was out and they had not only just
• 18:27
  winning, dominating. And that's the sign of a
• 18:30
  championship contending team that the Knicks have never had
• 18:34
  to that extent before with their bench depth and Miles McBride,
• 18:37
  who's not known as an offensive player getting 7 threes.
• 18:40
  Like hopefully that. Hopefully that.
• 18:41
  Will, He's been a good shooter. He shot almost 39% at three this
• 18:45
  year, so he's a good I. Know there were, I think there
• 18:47
  were two games in his career too.
• 18:48
  He had 9 threes in a game. So I know he's he's done it
• 18:50
  before, but he's obviously been just very inconsistent and now
• 18:53
  you're seeing him step into that.
• 18:54
  Think about this. The New York Knicks, if you look
• 18:57
  at some of the players on their roster, Kollick, McBride,
• 19:01
  Mitchell Robertson, these all were second round draft picks.
• 19:04
  So for all the fans out there to think, oh, you need to find guys
• 19:08
  in the first round to be a championship contending team, go
• 19:11
  to OK C go look how many players on on the OK C Thunder right now
• 19:14
  that are second round picks. Look at that.
• 19:17
  You need those guys. You need to find those guys and
• 19:20
  Leon Rose has found those guys. Everybody, all the fans out
• 19:24
  there that couldn't stand this higher and everybody said that
• 19:27
  Oh my God, the Knicks are putting a guy that has no
• 19:30
  experience, but he brought a great, a bunch of executives, a
• 19:33
  great bunch of guys that know the game of basketball.
• 19:35
  And he sits there at the helm and he puts, he put this team
• 19:39
  together and probably the probably the greatest move in
• 19:43
  NBA history, probably the greatest free agency signing in
• 19:47
  NBA history is Jalen Brunson. I was listening to Charles
• 19:50
  Barkley on a show the other day and he said I didn't think Jalen
• 19:54
  Brunson was this good. I knew he was good and OK and
• 19:57
  what he did with Dallas, he was good.
• 19:59
  But what he's completely transformed into is been
• 20:03
  unbelievable. And what the Knicks have turned
• 20:06
  this organization into a winning organization in in a four year
• 20:10
  span. The window is now, ladies and
• 20:12
  gentlemen, the NBA windows are usually three to four years.
• 20:16
  The Knicks. Have went to the playoffs in the
• 20:19
  first round, they got eliminated second round, they got
• 20:21
  eliminated third round and now they're moving back to the to
• 20:25
  the Eastern Conference finals. It's time to make that jump into
• 20:29
  the finals. And if the Knicks do that, that
• 20:32
  shows you that there's growth here that shows you that the
• 20:36
  executives, the organization knows what they're doing and
• 20:39
  they're following that path. And for anybody that took shots
• 20:43
  at Leon Rose making that move for Mikhail Bridges, it's all
• 20:46
  taken away because you can laugh all you want.
• 20:50
  Mikkel Bridges has played at such a high level defensively
• 20:54
  all season 1. This guy's going to be a first
• 20:56
  team defensive player in the NBA.
• 20:58
  Him and OG and and Obi are two of the best wing defenders in
• 21:01
  the league. You can laugh all you want.
• 21:03
  I got news for you. You know why your Celtics are
• 21:05
  not in the playoffs? Because they didn't play
• 21:08
  defense. They didn't play wing defense
• 21:11
  when it when they needed to. In that series against the 76er,
• 21:13
  they were up 3:00 to 1:00 and they couldn't finish them.
• 21:16
  And that you could say whatever you it's Jalen Browns fault,
• 21:18
  it's Jalen Browns fault. No, it's the teams fault.
• 21:21
  It was the way the team played and they had no bigs.
• 21:23
  They had no bigs. And I'm going to say this right
• 21:26
  now and we're going to get into it in just a few moments or a
• 21:29
  little bit later in the shot. I'm going to tell you this right
• 21:30
  now. If they don't go after Yannis in
• 21:33
  the offseason, they're screwed. That's all I'm going to say
• 21:36
  about that. For all you Celtic fans, you
• 21:38
  better beg and scratch and ask Brad Stevens to pull out his
• 21:43
  whopper and make a dance to the finish line.
• 21:46
  Because if he doesn't, that Whopper will be stuck in
• 21:49
  Speedy's mouth, right? No, I'm not the Celtics fan
• 21:52
  here. I'm talking about the sausage
• 21:53
  here. You like sausage?
• 21:54
  I'm not advocating for any sausages from from any Celtics
• 21:59
  employees, I should say. Little gangrene over.
• 22:01
  There, going back to no, no, that's your favorite name for
• 22:03
  the New York Jets. No, it's not my.
• 22:06
  Well, we are gang green baby. That is the horrible name.
• 22:08
  Anybody that gives their team the Gang Green name, it's Death.
• 22:13
  Who names your team Death? Gang Green Man.
• 22:16
  Don't worry, there will be a reference to a New York Jets
• 22:19
  quarterback and what's that smell for me?
• 22:21
  But going back, going back to teams that are still in the
• 22:24
  playoffs, the New York Knicks looking like they can do a lot
• 22:27
  of things in combined production too, which is the other aspect
• 22:30
  of what they were going to do with OG on Anobi out defensively
• 22:34
  we talked about last week. I wasn't as worried because
• 22:36
  obviously they have enough really good both starter and
• 22:38
  bench perimeter defenders. But offensively were they going
• 22:41
  to get those guys to do it? You talk about Bridges, who kind
• 22:43
  of disappeared at points during the Hawks series, really
• 22:46
  elevating his game offensively a lot more, making smart shots.
• 22:49
  Corner three he did a very good job at, but also doing smart
• 22:52
  things inside, taking twos when he had to, when he had good
• 22:54
  space. And I thought you that was a big
• 22:56
  aspect of it. And you mentioned the biggest
• 22:57
  thing of all. Carl Anthony Towns I criticized
• 22:59
  for Game 2 versus the Hawks being very passive.
• 23:02
  Since then he's on a whole nother level and really turning
• 23:05
  into the player he was supposed to be when they trade it for
• 23:07
  him. Yeah, listen, shout out to the
• 23:10
  New York Nets first and foremost.
• 23:12
  I didn't pick them to come out of this series.
• 23:14
  I did say it was a sweet, but I don't know ball.
• 23:16
  So we we'll stick with that take.
• 23:19
  Yeah. So playing with through cat is
• 23:21
  the secret weapon. And I've said that from the
• 23:22
  beginning. I think this team go as far as
• 23:25
  they can go based off if they play through Cat, if they play
• 23:28
  through Jalen Brunson with who's very bald dominant and allow him
• 23:32
  to dictate the game, then I think they're beatable.
• 23:35
  But when they play through Carl Anthony Towns, that gives them
• 23:38
  that flexibility to be able to have Jalen Brunson clothes
• 23:42
  during the late parts of the game.
• 23:44
  So shout out to them for continuously staying with that
• 23:47
  program and it's been working and it's been efficient.
• 23:50
  I believe Philly gave everything they had to Boston.
• 23:52
  I knew that they had nothing left in the tank and I know it
• 23:55
  sounds crazy, but they didn't have anything left in the tank.
• 23:58
  I don't think they were supposed to be Boston.
• 24:00
  I think Boston beat itself with continuously to shoot threes and
• 24:03
  never get into the cup and whatnot.
• 24:04
  So it allowed them to continue to keep shooting twos and
• 24:08
  continue to get into the free throw line and allowing their
• 24:11
  allowing them to actually come from behind and actually
• 24:14
  overtake the game and late in the fourth quarter versus
• 24:16
  Boston. But I knew the New York Knicks
• 24:19
  had everything they were to take.
• 24:20
  I think the New York Knicks would go to the Finals this
• 24:22
  year. This been what, 60 years since
• 24:24
  they've been in the Finals? So I think this would be 60
• 24:29
  years. So I think that, you know,
• 24:32
  Detroit would be a tough matchup for him talent wise.
• 24:37
  I think Cleveland is a tough matchup for him.
• 24:39
  But I think that the fact that New York has their system
• 24:43
  together, they have a good coach who's who's a championship
• 24:47
  winning coach who understands the game, I think he would get
• 24:50
  them the edge over there. I picked the niche to go to the
• 24:53
  finals against swept. But outside of that, you know, I
• 24:57
  would like to recognize the fact that did you did you say earlier
• 25:01
  your point, Earl, that Mike Brown is doing a hell of a job
• 25:05
  as a coach? This series, yes.
• 25:07
  Yes. And Oh yes, so so is it.
• 25:09
  Would it would it, would my state may be true that there's a
• 25:11
  coach needed within basketball and it's not just talent driven.
• 25:15
  No, yes or no No. It's it's so it's still talent
• 25:18
  driven, but the coach. Talent to win.
• 25:21
  You need talent to win. Yes, you need a coach.
• 25:24
  But what was the more that a coach?
• 25:25
  Brown I I could point out, I could point out a lot of teams
• 25:28
  that have won without top end coaches.
• 25:30
  Tell me that Coach Brown. Credit for being a hell of a
• 25:33
  coach. He has been.
• 25:34
  So that season, Jaylen. Brown not season, not season.
• 25:38
  Playoffs in a second round. What matters?
• 25:41
  Nobody cares about regular season.
• 25:42
  What is? That you just said throughout
• 25:44
  the season. I didn't say the season, I said
• 25:46
  second round of the. Play this series is what I said.
• 25:48
  OK, series. OK.
• 25:49
  So you thinking cap on tonight? I thinking Cap is here, buddy,
• 25:53
  it's here and I'm going to I'm going to torture you right now
• 25:56
  after you're done with this. Go ahead.
• 25:57
  Good coach, right? Yes or no?
• 25:59
  He's OK, He's good. He's good right now.
• 26:01
  He's proven. He hasn't won, by the way, He's
• 26:03
  never won as a head coach. Never.
• 26:05
  So you said a championship coach, He's never won as a head
• 26:09
  coach. He's gone to the Finals with the
• 26:11
  Cavs and he's been an assistant coach behind, I don't know,
• 26:15
  Steve Kerr, Gregg Popovich, anybody is is good when it comes
• 26:19
  to those two coaches and the team that they have, I mean.
• 26:22
  Seriously, they don't. No, they don't.
• 26:24
  I'm going to tell you this, right?
• 26:25
  Now, whether he's assistant or a head coach, it shouldn't matter
• 26:28
  if. Mark Jackson, I'll say here's
• 26:30
  here's where I'm going to throw you a curveball, Mark.
• 26:33
  Mark Jackson was firing and they brought Steve Kerr in, All
• 26:35
  right, Remember that. And then the next year, they won
• 26:38
  a championship, right? We remember that, OK?
• 26:41
  Mark Jackson transformed those players.
• 26:43
  He helped guys like Curry, Thompson and Draymond Green
• 26:48
  figure out who they were on the basketball.
• 26:50
  Yeah, if you watch. Mark Mark Jackson, the coach.
• 26:52
  Mark Jackson, the coach. OK, so coach is?
• 26:54
  Needed. Hold on, hold on.
• 26:55
  I'm going to. I'm going to show you why
• 26:57
  they're not needed. Because then when Steve Kerr
• 26:59
  went over there, he pretty much took over a team that was
• 27:02
  already built, set up to achieve and win.
• 27:06
  All right, And what happened? What happened, bud?
• 27:09
  What happened? They won, right?
• 27:10
  They they won. They won.
• 27:12
  And then we hear Steve Kerr come out and say Dreammore Green is
• 27:15
  the greatest defensive player in NBA history.
• 27:18
  Give me a prank. Get out of here.
• 27:20
  Get out of here. He's not the greatest defensive.
• 27:22
  No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't.
• 27:23
  No, he doesn't. He's not the greatest defensive
• 27:25
  player of all time. That is an absolute terrible
• 27:28
  take. Thank you Steve Kerr, to making
• 27:30
  me stupid and Dumber than I ever thought.
• 27:32
  I was thank you. He feels that way.
• 27:34
  You can't take his opinion. He feels that way because he
• 27:36
  coached him. That's the only reason why
• 27:38
  you're going to tell me he didn't like Scottie Pippen
• 27:40
  because Scottie Pippen didn't like him.
• 27:41
  He didn't like really like Michael Jordan because Michael
• 27:43
  Jordan knocked him out. And he also coached Tim Duncan
• 27:45
  because I want to give him credit.
• 27:46
  And they want to give him credit.
• 27:47
  You're going to tell me right now that Draymond Green is
• 27:49
  better than Tim Duncan? Get the hell out of here.
• 27:51
  I'm talking about what he said. I'm telling you, I'm telling
• 27:55
  you. I'm here.
• 27:56
  I'm going to. I'm going to show you this.
• 27:57
  Greg Popovich. Greg Popovich.
• 28:00
  Tim Duncan leaves. He retires, right?
• 28:03
  Kawhi Leonard is gone. They, they Ginobili's old.
• 28:09
  They're all, they're all old and all that.
• 28:11
  How many championships did Craig Popovich win after Tim Duncan
• 28:14
  left? Zip.
• 28:18
  What does that mean? What does that mean?
• 28:20
  Hey, he's. A great coach, he can win.
• 28:22
  Everybody, right? How many did they win together?
• 28:25
  What do you mean how many did? They when you caught when they
• 28:27
  caught a timeout, did he just sit on the sideline you?
• 28:29
  Mean hold on, he. Had a clipboard out and he's
• 28:31
  asking. Hold on, how many championships
• 28:33
  did Tim Duncan win? Oh, that's right, 55.
• 28:36
  That's right. Exactly. 5 Tim Duncan.
• 28:38
  Just Doctor Duncan, Greg Popovich, they've got no credit
• 28:42
  for none of that. Greg Popovich.
• 28:43
  Nothing. Greg Popovich is one of the
• 28:45
  most. He's a great coach, one of the
• 28:47
  more overrated coaches and NBA history.
• 28:51
  Overrated, overrated. Overrated.
• 28:54
  All right, so back to your point, Josh Hart as a leader, I
• 28:57
  disagree with that point. Josh Hart really the.
• 29:00
  Engine, let's do what you does overtime, definitely.
• 29:06
  And it's only gonna go as far as Janet Brunson.
• 29:09
  Heart is a great energy pack. He puts it in.
• 29:12
  I mean, he only smokes lay up. He just threw a ball in the
• 29:15
  third. Row.
• 29:17
  You know, he does things that let's you know that that he's
• 29:20
  not truly a leader. And McBride guy had a a pretty
• 29:25
  decent series. But what I wouldn't give him is
• 29:29
  he's some comeback player or he was just this impactful player.
• 29:32
  If you take away the 23 points that he scored in a blowout that
• 29:35
  they won by 30, what was his average?
• 29:37
  Probably around by 6 points or whatever.
• 29:40
  You're talking about. Bound one.
• 29:42
  Man off. The bench.
• 29:43
  Yeah, 8th man off the bench average 29 points.
• 29:46
  Excuse me, let me talk. Excuse me, coming off the bench
• 29:49
  averages 6 points, 1 rebound and one will not be getting the job
• 29:53
  done. So yes, can he contribute to the
• 29:56
  Knicks? Absolutely.
• 29:57
  But I would say that the knits go as far as I'm playing through
• 30:01
  Cat. Are.
• 30:02
  You done Led by Jenny Brown. Are you done?
• 30:04
  And I would say OG is the IT factor in regards to whether or
• 30:09
  not the Knicks move. Did you hear?
• 30:11
  That, ladies and gentlemen, OG. What I would say, did you just
• 30:14
  say? OG on an Opie.
• 30:15
  Here's what I'm going to say on that one.
• 30:17
  I. Think it was something because
• 30:18
  you said hold on before you go there.
• 30:20
  You said that the Knicks struggle without OG, Yes or no?
• 30:24
  Yes, you did say that. I didn't think Miles McBride.
• 30:26
  Would you look at I didn't had one of those, I just blow out.
• 30:29
  All right. Are you, are you done?
• 30:30
  Because I want to add, I want to add some I'm not going to talk
• 30:33
  over. You, because that's what you do
• 30:35
  you know about. Go ahead, spit it out.
• 30:36
  Spit it out. All right, now I'm going to tell
• 30:38
  you. Take last week I'm going to give
• 30:40
  you so you could because they couldn't hear me because you
• 30:42
  were talking of No, I wasn't. You're a take last.
• 30:44
  Week I'm listening to this garbage that doesn't make any.
• 30:46
  Sense we'll struggle without OG and you wouldn't be surprised if
• 30:51
  this 70 sisters win the game. How did that favor out for you?
• 30:54
  How did that workout for you? Did the Knicks look like they
• 30:57
  struggle by winning by 30 points?
• 30:58
  Are you done? I don't think they struggle.
• 31:00
  Are you done? Nobody thought Miles McBride was
• 31:03
  going to be the third leading scorer of this team.
• 31:05
  All you do is spit out your garbage.
• 31:07
  It doesn't make any sense. No, I'm not going to wait.
• 31:09
  This is done. This is done.
• 31:11
  It's done. Brush it out.
• 31:13
  Brush it out. It's terrible. 30 minutes.
• 31:15
  Thirty minutes. You know when I'm finished and
• 31:17
  it's garbage, so garbage that lets me know that is that you
• 31:20
  don't know ball. I don't know, Ball.
• 31:22
  Stuff out of their back I. Don't know ball.
• 31:25
  Because at the end of the day, the New York and you do not
• 31:28
  struggle, okay, they did not struggle with that OG.
• 31:31
  They actually won by 30 without OG and it was led by Jane and
• 31:37
  Bus. So now you can speak.
• 31:38
  Here we go. Here's what I'm going to say.
• 31:40
  Miles McBride, nobody thought was going to be the third
• 31:42
  leading scorer of this team. That's one.
• 31:44
  Number two, you're going to sit here and you're going to make
• 31:47
  hold on, hold on. You, you all the crap that came
• 31:49
  out of your mouth. I I want to I want to hurl.
• 31:51
  Maybe you should go eat oatmeal because that's what you should
• 31:53
  be eating every single morning because you're bloated.
• 31:57
  All that crap that's bloat in your mouth.
• 31:59
  You're absolutely bloated, OK, this garbage and this, this tier
• 32:04
  of craziness doesn't make any sense as far as knowing ball.
• 32:07
  Here's why. I know you don't know Ball, OK?
• 32:10
  Because you're you're going to come out here and you're going
• 32:12
  to say, well, this guy and that guy didn't you?
• 32:14
  Weren't you the one that told me that OG and Anobi was not as
• 32:19
  important to the Knicks going into the series?
• 32:21
  He's third, he's 3rd and important.
• 32:24
  Hold on, hold on. You know he is the most
• 32:26
  important player on this team. He is the most important player
• 32:30
  on this team because of what he does, the way he does it at a
• 32:33
  high level. This guy was the best wing
• 32:36
  defender in the league. The fact that the NBA made him
• 32:39
  the 10th best defender in the voting for Defensive Player of
• 32:42
  the Year is an absolute mockery, OK, And as far as I'm concerned
• 32:46
  with this team, the 76ers gave up after Game 2.
• 32:49
  They gave up. They did.
• 32:51
  They gave up. You picked up the win when the
• 32:54
  OG went out. What are?
• 32:55
  You talking like all I said is they're going to win one game.
• 32:59
  What are you talking about? I said they were going to win
• 33:01
  four games and what? What are you talking about?
• 33:02
  Pick them OK. So where did the one game come
• 33:04
  in? What do you mean they could
• 33:05
  have? Won the one game they.
• 33:06
  Could have won that. They didn't.
• 33:08
  They didn't show up. They gave up.
• 33:10
  They gave up. They gave up.
• 33:12
  Paul George couldn't hit a shot after the first quarter in game
• 33:15
  three, scored fifty. Yeah, Paul George is one of the
• 33:17
  highest, highest price players in NBA, in the NBA right now.
• 33:21
  This guy gets an extension. He averages 15 points in the
• 33:24
  first in the first quarter and then throughout the game in the
• 33:27
  third, in the third game, couldn't hit nothing.
• 33:30
  He was hitting bricks and oh, but you know ball because you
• 33:33
  knew that. How about this?
• 33:35
  You know ball, you know ball. How about this?
• 33:37
  How much? What was Paul George averaging
• 33:39
  against your Celtics? Buddy, You know ball.
• 33:43
  You know ball, you know ball. So give it to me.
• 33:45
  Give me the number, buddy. Give me the number.
• 33:48
  You know ball. You know ball.
• 33:49
  You know your Celtics. Yeah, I watch the game, but I
• 33:52
  don't, I don't care. 16 points a game.
• 33:54
  He averaged 16 points a game. And what did he what did he
• 33:58
  average in this series? What did he average?
• 34:00
  What did he average? You're the genius. 15.5.
• 34:04
  OK, so there's a letter. So that's that's all I'm going
• 34:08
  to say about that Mister Ball. Man, what are you saying?
• 34:10
  I'm telling you, you don't know what you're talking about.
• 34:15
  You're sitting here because you said that the Knicks were going
• 34:17
  to sweep, that you knew. More than I did.
• 34:20
  Who cares what you do? It's a guess you didn't even
• 34:22
  know what the Knicks were going to do.
• 34:23
  You have no idea dude. You.
• 34:25
  I'm not a Knicks fan and I said. It was you can't even name all
• 34:28
  your freaking Celtic players. You couldn't even tell me, give
• 34:31
  me all the Celtic players, tell me all the Celtic, but I can
• 34:34
  tell you the whole Knicks. But could you tell me all the
• 34:37
  Celtics? You're a Celtic fan.
• 34:38
  God, I gotta give it to me. You know ball, You know ball.
• 34:44
  You know ball, you know. Ball, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
• 34:48
  Quinton. Colbert knows Ball know his
• 34:51
  name. Knows ball.
• 34:53
  He knows ball. No ball.
• 34:55
  So this is his way of copping out, because he was.
• 34:57
  Wrong. I'm not.
• 34:58
  I'm not copping out anything. Doing my take.
• 35:00
  And first of all, Josh Hart is the leader.
• 35:02
  Josh Hart is the leader of this team.
• 35:04
  Yes, he is. Why is it?
• 35:06
  Why is the media running to him and not Jaylen Brunson?
• 35:09
  Because he's entertainment. No, he is a leader.
• 35:12
  Nobody's doing. It he is a leader.
• 35:14
  When he came off the when he when they pulled him in Game 4,
• 35:18
  when he put his hands up and he pointed his hands out and he put
• 35:21
  four, he put 4. The fans going crazy.
• 35:23
  Did you see Jaylen Brunson do that?
• 35:25
  No, Jaylen Brunson walked off the court.
• 35:27
  No, it's called leadership buddy.
• 35:29
  It's called leadership buddy. Yeah.
• 35:31
  Lead by example. Yeah, somebody here lead by this
• 35:33
  example. Lead by this example before.
• 35:36
  Yeah, maybe. You need to maybe you need to
• 35:38
  strengthen your forearm man, because it's it's definitely not
• 35:41
  strong enough. Maybe you should use your left
• 35:43
  hand instead of your right. Maybe so.
• 35:44
  Watch the game a little. Bit I watch the game dude, I
• 35:47
  watch the. Game.
• 35:48
  I am I am absolutely embedded into the game.
• 35:51
  So you telling me that I'm not, I pretty much told you what I
• 35:55
  saw. And by the way, every single
• 35:57
  take that you made and you you were saying that or this and
• 36:00
  that and OG and you just said, first of all, you said Karl
• 36:03
  Anthony Towns. Everything was played through
• 36:04
  Karl Anthony Towns. That's the reason why they
• 36:06
  needed to win. Then all of a sudden you said
• 36:08
  the most important player on the Dicks is OG and Adobe.
• 36:10
  Make up your goddamn mind. Then you said Jayla Broughton.
• 36:13
  Then you said Jayla Broughton. You don't make up your goddamn
• 36:16
  mind, I said. All right, guys.
• 36:18
  OK. And I do said OG would be the
• 36:20
  most important because please, today, your stars need support.
• 36:24
  I don't need to sweat. I just not just because thank
• 36:27
  you the best player, but you need your supporting.
• 36:30
  Thank you very much. Thank you.
• 36:32
  Very much. You guys are like, I've had to
• 36:34
  separate kids on JV football. This is like one of those.
• 36:39
  Thank you very much. Gotta separate you.
• 36:40
  I'll tell you what I saw after the game.
• 36:42
  It was a bunch of Knicks fans sweeping Philly towels in
• 36:47
  Phillies Arena. Right in front of this.
• 36:49
  Taking it over, making everybody look like a fool.
• 36:54
  The Philly fans are embarrassed. I live for this, Errol.
• 36:59
  You know, I went down to that Super Bowl wearing Giants gear
• 37:03
  when I knew the Eagles were the favorites.
• 37:05
  I gave the Phillies fans were the Eagles fans.
• 37:08
  Same people really were giving me hugs and look at them now
• 37:12
  they can't even show up in the playoffs to support their team.
• 37:15
  There were a couple of rows of celebrities that were from
• 37:19
  Philly and everyone else was Knicks fans in that arena for
• 37:22
  both Games 3 and 4. Maxi was despondent.
• 37:25
  Oh my God, this was beautiful. And the only thing I want to add
• 37:29
  before we get to the round table, Errol, I think Mike
• 37:33
  Brown, and this is, this is maybe more controversial than
• 37:36
  anything Q had to say. Mike Brown coaches the Knicks
• 37:40
  Like I'm a producer of this show.
• 37:43
  I just keep tinkering with stuff, man.
• 37:45
  I've just keep tinkering with stuff.
• 37:47
  Now he's really patting works. Now he's really patting himself
• 37:50
  on the back. No, no, I'm standing.
• 37:52
  No, no. Let me explain it.
• 37:53
  Explain it. I I screw up a bunch.
• 37:57
  This is a fact I find. Sam, where are you?
• 38:00
  And it gets back and then I figure out how to solve it.
• 38:03
  Mike Brown put himself with all these weird line UPS later in
• 38:07
  the season and in early in the playoffs and he was trying
• 38:11
  different approaches to see what would work.
• 38:13
  Eventually he settled on this cat at point center type of
• 38:16
  mentality where they didn't have to run everything through Cat.
• 38:19
  But now that that became how Cat is playing, it was almost like
• 38:22
  Cat was doing the triangle on half of the court while Brunson
• 38:26
  was doing ISO and other things, you know, running screen games
• 38:29
  on the other side whenever they wanted to.
• 38:32
  There was nothing anybody could do about it.
• 38:33
  The fact Errol that they didn't even need OG to embarrass them
• 38:38
  tells you what at the level that they're playing at with this new
• 38:41
  thing that Brown just kind of figured out.
• 38:44
  You know, he just kind of figured out stuff and he plays
• 38:47
  with it. Look, that's not exactly what
• 38:49
  you want. You get real nervous as a fan.
• 38:51
  Like what is this guy doing with all these dumb ass line UPS?
• 38:54
  He fit. He found one he really liked and
• 38:56
  nobody has figured out how to stop it yet.
• 38:58
  Seven straight playoff wins, the most in Knicks history.
• 39:02
  How about that? That's.
• 39:03
  Pretty. Sad.
• 39:05
  That's not sad. That's pretty impressive.
• 39:07
  You can win seven straight games, seven straight, seven
• 39:10
  straight. Thank you, we will get to that
• 39:12
  in Tic Tac no later. There's only 15 teams that have
• 39:15
  won ten in a row. Right.
• 39:17
  You know what I learned how after all that, that whole take
• 39:19
  is this is this is what I learned, right?
• 39:24
  Thank you very much. Well, I'm tired of you guys
• 39:27
  yelling at each other. This is a show.
• 39:30
  This is what we do. Yeah, I understand, but you
• 39:33
  sound like you're a fifth grade half the time you get you would
• 39:36
  disagree if you said the sky was blue.
• 39:38
  No, I wouldn't. We actually have agreed on the
• 39:40
  show last week if you had, if you watched.
• 39:42
  We actually agreed on a lot of things on the game.
• 39:44
  Yeah, I'm attacking Johnny. So I had you guys attack me and
• 39:47
  you guys are all back. They're copacetic.
• 39:49
  Listen, I, I only attack when I I think something dumb comes out
• 39:53
  of somebody's mouth. That that's that's when I attack
• 39:56
  and I got teeth to attack by the way, so.
• 39:58
  Talk to him. Smile for the camera.
• 40:01
  He does. Speedy out, but I still have
• 40:05
  them. Why don't you hit the music?
• 40:07
  Let's get to this round table and get it going for the rest of
• 40:12
  the basketball news. Here we go starting it off
• 40:17
  Spurs. Wolves tied at 2 after the
• 40:20
  Wembinyama ejection. Oh boy.
• 40:23
  I guess Wembinyama is trying to let everybody know that he is
• 40:27
  sick and tired of him being allowed to be pushed around.
• 40:30
  This guy is 75 with sharp elbows and he threw one right into
• 40:35
  Nazreed's throat in the second quarter.
• 40:37
  Obviously he's out of the game. The Wolves were able to rally
• 40:42
  the fight off a really spry team without him and tie the series
• 40:45
  at 2:00. They're feisty.
• 40:47
  The Timberwolves are a feisty team.
• 40:49
  No Anthony Edwards or not a healthy Anthony Edwards.
• 40:52
  They're getting enough from the guys, the secondary players, no
• 40:55
  Dante Diva, Chanzo, too. They're getting enough offense
• 40:59
  from a team that without webbing Yama, they're just not the same
• 41:02
  team. You could see it as good as they
• 41:04
  are with Fox, who's not healthy. The Aaron Fox is playing with
• 41:07
  bad ankles right now, but he's playing.
• 41:10
  Harper's taking over. He's played pretty well in this
• 41:12
  series, but it's not enough. Castles hasn't showed up in the
• 41:15
  series the way we expect him, he being the what was he the 6th
• 41:19
  man of the year Rookie of the year last year?
• 41:20
  Rookie of the Year. Rookie.
• 41:22
  So I want to see more from these guys, and they're not showing
• 41:25
  up. And everybody on the Minnesota
• 41:27
  Timberwolves are showing up. The leadership is showing, going
• 41:30
  and that's right now the difference of the series, It's
• 41:31
  due to webbing. Yama needs to keep his hands to
• 41:34
  himself if he wants his team to move forward.
• 41:36
  Yeah, definitely a malicious elbow.
• 41:37
  Definitely deserves to be thrown out of the game.
• 41:39
  Not really. Definitely some of that always
• 41:41
  has been kind of that instigator in the in the paint and I think
• 41:44
  got to a younger player. And you're right, Wendy's going
• 41:46
  to have to because remember, this is a really young team too.
• 41:48
  They're going to have to get this veteran leadership from
• 41:50
  guys like Fox and guys like Wendy if they want to be able to
• 41:53
  do it. Because the longer this series
• 41:54
  goes, the pressure is going to go on them because Minnesota has
• 41:57
  been there before. They've won some game sevens and
• 41:59
  I the longer it goes, they definitely have the advantage
• 42:01
  even with the Spurs having at home team because their defense,
• 42:03
  the Minnesota is playing very well systematically.
• 42:06
  You talk about Mike Brown changing his defenses up in
• 42:08
  coaching adjustment. Chris Finch might be the best
• 42:10
  coach right now in the West, and he's showing it here with a team
• 42:12
  that's not, on paper, as good as the Spurs.
• 42:15
  Yeah, I think that we overreacted a little bit in
• 42:19
  regards to the elbow. I think if you watching it live
• 42:21
  that it wasn't necessarily intentional.
• 42:23
  He just swung the elbow. But if you actually slow it
• 42:25
  down, definitely looks very intentional.
• 42:28
  But thank God he isn't suspended for Game 5.
• 42:31
  But I think that it says a lot about the Spurs that they allow
• 42:34
  the Wolves to come back and tie the series.
• 42:36
  The 2 two, I think they were supposed to.
• 42:38
  Obviously it's going to be a let off in regards to when Webby is
• 42:41
  out of it because his presence is that impactful, But I don't
• 42:45
  think they were supposed to lose this game.
• 42:46
  I think they allowed Anthony Edwards and the temple wolves to
• 42:49
  kind of bully them in a sense in regards to just, you know,
• 42:52
  having that that that physicality and that you know,
• 42:56
  willed and that grit in in their game plan to actually overcome
• 43:01
  them. Fox stepped up castle.
• 43:04
  You know, he needs to do it produce a little bit more,
• 43:06
  especially with Wendy being out. But I think Luke connect
• 43:09
  somebody who has experience and somebody who's actually, and I
• 43:12
  actually play, I thought it was on him to kind of come in and
• 43:15
  kind of be some form of an impact player.
• 43:17
  Obviously he wouldn't be what a Wimby is, but I thought he had
• 43:20
  an opportunity to step up and kind of give them that airs that
• 43:23
  they needed. And I think it's difficult when
• 43:25
  you have somebody like a Wimby out there that's 7 footed,
• 43:28
  that's impacting on both ends. And then when he's out, it's
• 43:31
  just a drop off because you you play through them on offense and
• 43:34
  you live with knowing that can nobody drive through the middle
• 43:37
  because he's going to swat it away.
• 43:38
  So I just think that doesn't have enough to pick it up after
• 43:42
  he got ejected and they kind of sucked the wind out of him and
• 43:45
  then they just let the Timber woods come back and and and win
• 43:48
  the game for. You know, before we move on from
• 43:52
  this, there was a real incident in game three Errol between
• 43:54
  Chris Finch and referee Tony Brothers.
• 43:57
  I don't know if you caught it, I caught it, but Finch calls for a
• 44:00
  time out. Brothers waits 3 seconds before
• 44:03
  he awards it is get the balls almost turned over.
• 44:06
  Finch confronts him about it. Brothers basically goes after
• 44:10
  him and challenges him in his own huddle.
• 44:12
  He has to be separated by aforementioned Nazreed and
• 44:16
  assistant coach Pablo Piggione. Former Nick and Bones Highland
• 44:21
  stepping in between that. Tony Brothers kind of well known
• 44:25
  for some of these antics. Yeah, well, if you're going to
• 44:27
  depend on a referee to do the right thing, ladies and
• 44:31
  gentlemen, you're not going to get it from the NBA.
• 44:33
  You're not going to get it from any sport.
• 44:34
  And that's what you saw. Again, Finch's he's got to speak
• 44:38
  up. He's got to be a little bit
• 44:39
  louder and he's got to jump on the court.
• 44:41
  Throw yourself out there and let him see you.
• 44:44
  I know. But we'll probably call a
• 44:45
  technical a flag and foul on him.
• 44:47
  I I mean, this is the NBA is weird.
• 44:49
  And I'll say this again, we've had NBA players, Mike James come
• 44:52
  on and said the sport has completely become a bitch sport.
• 44:55
  It it's everybody does what they want, they get away with it.
• 44:59
  And that's the problem. It's got to be more aggressive.
• 45:01
  We got to see that aggressive game again that we saw in the
• 45:03
  90s. I think it needs to get back to
• 45:05
  that game. And until that happens, the NBA
• 45:08
  and the referees, it's all going to be like lopsided.
• 45:11
  I it's, it's horrible. It was horrible to watch.
• 45:14
  Yeah, I don't think that ever going I I think we need this
• 45:16
  type of energy, like you said, but I don't think it's going to
• 45:18
  ever get back to that point. It's too much annulator, it's
• 45:20
  too much data involved. And then then skill set is a
• 45:23
  totally different ball game where, you know, back in the 90s
• 45:26
  it was built off the physicality where now it's based off finesse
• 45:30
  and shooting. So I don't think we're going to
• 45:31
  see it, but it was good to see Tony brothers get active.
• 45:34
  And again, we've been talking about how soft the NBA is and
• 45:37
  how this and how that. But at the end of the day,
• 45:39
  listen, when we get this action, we got to be prepared and we as
• 45:42
  fans can't overreal and won't suspensions and won't, you know,
• 45:46
  penalties and when some physical happened.
• 45:48
  So, you know, Tony Brothers stepped up and he's one of those
• 45:51
  guys that has been known to to be that type of have that type
• 45:55
  of behavior. So, you know, it was good to see
• 45:57
  him react that way because I think, like you said, we need
• 46:00
  that type of intensity back in the game of NBA.
• 46:05
  I got I got teed up a couple of times when I coached some middle
• 46:08
  school basketball. I don't know, there's a lot of
• 46:12
  there's a lot of bad officials out there.
• 46:13
  They're really bad at the youth level.
• 46:15
  Fish is not a panty dropper. If you think that Tony Brothers
• 46:18
  has problems as officiating, you should go around and watch some
• 46:21
  youth sports around this country.
• 46:23
  It's horrible. It is Fish.
• 46:25
  Where's panties? Let's talk about an interesting
• 46:28
  series. Just tipping off for Game 4
• 46:31
  right now. Pistons have a 21 lead in the
• 46:34
  series after the Cavs took game three.
• 46:37
  Taking a look at that game, it was a Donovan Mitchell, you
• 46:41
  know, doing it not necessarily by himself, but doing everything
• 46:44
  he could in order to win that game.
• 46:46
  It was a real tough 35 and 10 from Mitchell to take that and
• 46:52
  try to get the series even tonight.
• 46:53
  Well, you ever hear the song by LL Cool J Doing, doing, doing
• 46:57
  well, that that's what he was doing and he did it in the
• 47:00
  fourth quarter. He showed up and that's what
• 47:02
  they need. They need Donovan Mitchell to
• 47:04
  take over the game. They need to get a little bit
• 47:05
  more from James Harden and they need to rebound.
• 47:08
  This is a great offensive rebounding team.
• 47:10
  Their bags are good. They should be dominating the
• 47:13
  boards. Jurans endurance what didn't
• 47:16
  show up in the last series, he had problems rebounding and
• 47:18
  problems defending. They need to figure out how to
• 47:22
  get into this guys head. When they did that, when we
• 47:24
  watched in the first first series against Orlando, Orlando
• 47:28
  early in the series got into into Duran's head and then all
• 47:31
  of a sudden Duran's figured it out in the last two games and
• 47:35
  and started play at a high level.
• 47:36
  We need to see more of that. They're they have two bigs that
• 47:39
  can absolutely dominate the paint.
• 47:41
  We have to see that. Yeah, and you saw fish, like you
• 47:44
  were saying, Donovan Mitchell, take over at certain points and
• 47:46
  I think you'd certainly take smarter shots.
• 47:48
  That's the concern I always had with him.
• 47:49
  He's a very good like points per game wise playoff player, but
• 47:52
  sometimes he's plays hero ball a little too much.
• 47:54
  Like we've seen Russell Westbrook do it points and I
• 47:57
  think you're not. You're now seeing it where he's
• 47:59
  taking on that other role and you're now you're seeing with
• 48:01
  the Cavs, they're taking much smarter shots too.
• 48:03
  I don't think they did that in Game 2 as much, even though
• 48:06
  defensively I thought they hung tough like you were saying.
• 48:08
  The size of the Cavs too could definitely be rattled with
• 48:11
  Isaiah Stewart and John and Jalen Duran, which I think you
• 48:15
  saw a little bit in this game too.
• 48:16
  And I think the Cavs, if they could play like that on the
• 48:18
  road, can definitely steal the series.
• 48:21
  Yeah, on paper, I got Cleveland to win this, but Detroit
• 48:25
  definitely bring a different type of different type of
• 48:28
  physicality in regards to this series that's going to be
• 48:31
  impactful. In regards to Cleveland, I think
• 48:33
  that Tobias Harris has to step up and and give them at least 20
• 48:38
  points in order for them to compete and win for the rest of
• 48:41
  the way. And then Duncan Robinson helps.
• 48:42
  So he has to be efficient from the three-point.
• 48:45
  But if they don't get those two contributing factors that help
• 48:49
  Cave in this game, then I just think he's getting he's going to
• 48:52
  get wore out and he's not going to be able to be the superstar
• 48:55
  that we know know him to be because again, he just came from
• 48:58
  a what was a three win deficit last game that you know that's
• 49:02
  it's it's tiring is going to wear down on you.
• 49:04
  So he need that somebody has to help.
• 49:06
  But Cleveland is really having an identity crisis.
• 49:09
  I think that if Evan Mobley don't step up as a number 2, I
• 49:13
  think Donovan Mitchell is the number one.
• 49:15
  I think James Harden should go to #3 and then Evan Mobley be #2
• 49:19
  obviously, when you look at the game, if Evan Mobley play
• 49:21
  aggressive and that's the score at the rate that he can score, I
• 49:25
  think they have a real good chance of being in the Eastern
• 49:29
  Conference Finals. But if they continue to battle
• 49:33
  in regards to Donovan Mitchell being number one or James Harden
• 49:38
  being number one, I think that's a recipe for them to get upset
• 49:41
  by the Detroit and then we'll see them in the Eastern
• 49:44
  Conference Finals. If the Mobley is the person,
• 49:47
  that's the difference making in regards to whether or not
• 49:49
  keeping advanced to the next round.
• 49:51
  James Harden we brought up last week when we did King of the
• 49:54
  Hill as one of the all time suckiest playoff.
• 49:57
  Blunders. He hasn't been good in this
• 49:59
  series and he's playing zero defense.
• 50:02
  I don't know if Detroit can take advantage of it because they
• 50:05
  don't shoot the ball particularly well from outside
• 50:08
  outside of Duncan, Robinson and Cade if he's hot.
• 50:11
  But it's I just it's a weird matchup.
• 50:14
  It's a little bit of a rock fight and if the Cavs can put it
• 50:18
  in the net, they're going to win this series in this game
• 50:20
  tonight. I actually believe what Q was
• 50:23
  saying. James Harden is not going to be
• 50:25
  the guy with the Cavaliers. I think Evan Mobley needs to be
• 50:28
  the number 2. I think they need to get more
• 50:29
  from the bigs. That's what they need to do.
• 50:32
  And and honestly, throughout the second-half when James Harden
• 50:35
  came to this team, when he was traded, you saw the different on
• 50:38
  the pick and roll. The bigs were playing at a high
• 50:41
  level. They need to do more of that.
• 50:42
  Kenny Atkinson is a good coach. He understands how to to work
• 50:46
  that that pick and roll. He's a great, great minded coach
• 50:49
  comes from the Popovich slash Kerr bench.
• 50:53
  So he understands that triangle offense and that's what they
• 50:56
  need to run. If they don't do that, they're
• 50:58
  going to have problems moving forward in this series.
• 51:00
  And even if they get out of this series, there's no way without
• 51:03
  James Harden giving you at least 15 points that they're going to
• 51:06
  beat the New York Knicks. It's just not a chance.
• 51:08
  Not a chance to now. You're sitting at this point in
• 51:10
  the playoffs and we don't know what we're going to get out of
• 51:12
  James Harden if he's going to play nice.
• 51:14
  Would you have still done that trade mid year for Garland?
• 51:18
  For Harden? You have to because Darius
• 51:20
  Garland did not want to be there anymore.
• 51:22
  He had problems with Donovan Mitchell.
• 51:24
  This has been going on for the last two years.
• 51:26
  Go look back at all the different things that were said
• 51:28
  over there in the media. He, they, they couldn't play
• 51:31
  together. As a matter of fact, when
• 51:33
  Garland was out, Donovan Donovan was playing in a high level.
• 51:36
  When when Donovan was out, Garland was playing in a high
• 51:38
  level. Both guys wanted the ball.
• 51:40
  Both guys wanted the, the, the, the opportunity to run the
• 51:43
  offense. And we everybody knew that
• 51:45
  Donovan Mitchell was the guy and Garland didn't want to be there
• 51:48
  anymore. He didn't want to deal with the
• 51:49
  the obsessive emotion of the fans and how much they love the
• 51:53
  Spider. So he wanted to be traded.
• 51:55
  So it had to happen. James Harden was the the best
• 51:58
  player you can get for Darius Garland.
• 52:00
  I don't know if it was a good move.
• 52:01
  Only time will tell. But guess what?
• 52:03
  Every time the Clippers make a trade, whenever they make a
• 52:05
  trade, those guys never mount up, mount up to be anything.
• 52:09
  As a matter of fact, there's one right now playing for the 76ers.
• 52:12
  So we all know how and what that happens and how it happens.
• 52:16
  Yeah, I think Garlic wouldn't be that.
• 52:18
  I think Garlic and James Harden Trey was legit.
• 52:21
  I mean, what are the better superstar that you're going to
• 52:23
  get for Garland and James Harden?
• 52:25
  And I think that the problem is that they don't know where to
• 52:28
  place James Harder. And that's kind of been his
• 52:30
  story for the last two, two or three craze when he was in
• 52:34
  Brooklyn, when he was in LA as well.
• 52:36
  It's like understanding that, yes, he has supreme talent, but
• 52:40
  he's not the guy to be the number one option in regards to
• 52:44
  the number one scorer in regards to whatever team that you're
• 52:47
  creating. I will say this, what I would do
• 52:50
  if I'm the coach of the team, if I know James Harden is not
• 52:53
  figuring out how to get that shot up and and and and score,
• 52:57
  take him off the bench. Let him be the 6th man I think
• 52:59
  he'll be. I think he'd be more confident
• 53:02
  coming off and being the guy on the second team.
• 53:05
  That makes a lot of sense. What James what the way they're
• 53:08
  using James Harden right now, he's playing what, 3233 minutes?
• 53:11
  It's too much, too much. I think James Harden 24 to 25
• 53:15
  minutes, you can get about 17 to 18 points from James Harden and
• 53:19
  get more from Mobley and all the other guys.
• 53:20
  I think you that's the winning mentality.
• 53:23
  I think he's a six man. I think that's where you have to
• 53:26
  transform him back to what he was in his heydays with OK CI.
• 53:29
  Was going to say the better wing depth too than you have in
• 53:31
  previous years. Max Streuse and Sam Marrow, both
• 53:34
  a good three-point shooters off the bench, and then Jalen Tyson,
• 53:37
  who's the older brother of Saints rookie receiver Jordan
• 53:39
  Tyson, is actually played well this season as well.
• 53:41
  So you can get combined production from that in like
• 53:43
  Limit Harden's minutes too. Yeah, because he at the end of
• 53:47
  the day, like if he if he coming off the bench, he don't have
• 53:50
  that responsibility that he has has been a number one option.
• 53:53
  So that allow him to play free with no restrictions.
• 53:56
  But I just don't know if he's has the ability or the ego to be
• 54:00
  able to come off the bench. All right, let's get to the last
• 54:04
  playoff series before we get into some news real quick.
• 54:06
  The Thunder are up three O on the Lakers.
• 54:09
  Lakers stayed tight with them for the first half first 3/4
• 54:12
  almost for game three, but they pulled away just too much, too
• 54:18
  much from that Thunder team late in that series.
• 54:21
  But right now could be the sweep.
• 54:23
  Starter 1039. There's no Luka Doncic.
• 54:25
  That's the problem. Without having Luca not getting
• 54:29
  that 33 points a game, this guy was the leading scorer of the
• 54:32
  NBA. It's affected the way they want
• 54:34
  to run their offense. They're getting enough offense
• 54:37
  but not enough at the end of the game.
• 54:39
  Who was the go to guy over the throughout the season who was
• 54:42
  getting the ball at the end of the game?
• 54:44
  It was Don Chick and he was shooting up and and being that
• 54:47
  offensive priority for this Laker team.
• 54:49
  Not having Don Chick has affected them.
• 54:51
  You can see it. I think it would have been more
• 54:53
  of a challenge. I don't know if the Lakers win
• 54:55
  this series, but at least they would have won one or two games,
• 54:58
  maybe made it somewhat of a challenge.
• 55:00
  This is going to it's going what everybody thought it was going
• 55:03
  to go. I I mean, I thought Dodgek was
• 55:05
  going to come back. I did not think he was going to
• 55:08
  miss all three games. I didn't I thought everything
• 55:11
  that I heard is that he'd be back in the series.
• 55:13
  He hasn't, and it's been a a big, a big problem for the
• 55:17
  Lakers, yeah. Q You were mentioning it with
• 55:19
  with the with the 76ers kind of playing big to go all in on the
• 55:23
  Celtics. I think the Lakers did the same
• 55:24
  thing with the Rockets where they had to play big against
• 55:26
  another big team that Houston has and it's just worn out on
• 55:29
  them physically. And now you're playing a an OKC
• 55:31
  team that even with Jalen Williams hurt, still has good
• 55:33
  size. So it eventually was going to
• 55:34
  add up. The Lakers offense is really
• 55:36
  getting. The Lakers have no bench.
• 55:38
  I know that and that was a problem.
• 55:39
  Why we thought the Rockets would win in the first round, too, is
• 55:42
  the Lakers. Death wasn't.
• 55:43
  There, the Lakers death stepped up in that game, that series,
• 55:45
  but it's not going to do well. I mean, Lebrons getting it,
• 55:48
  Reeves is getting it, but when you have Bronie James coming off
• 55:51
  the bench, good luck ladies. And gentlemen, he's a winner.
• 55:54
  He's a winner, right? It'll be the final Lakers game
• 55:57
  for Bron, Brownie, James and JJ Rex.
• 55:59
  Thank you. Thank.
• 56:01
  You for the listen Lakers gave it.
• 56:03
  It's so like I said, like the Lakers game, Houston, everything
• 56:07
  they had at the end of the day, Houston had an identity issue.
• 56:10
  They didn't have a KD. They're very young.
• 56:12
  And then you know, you don't couldn't figure out how to
• 56:15
  cultivate those guys to be able to run a set offense and none of
• 56:20
  them could shoot. So it was a big, it was a lot of
• 56:23
  issues that the Lakers are able to expose and the Lakers are
• 56:26
  actually able to advance past them because having they have
• 56:30
  any identity and then they just play smart basketball led by
• 56:34
  LeBron James. So yeah, I respect that.
• 56:37
  But in regards to this series with OKC, knew it was going to
• 56:40
  be a sweep in regards to OKC matching up with LA.
• 56:44
  They are old and they don't have the talent to be able to compete
• 56:50
  with OKC at the end of the day. And then, you know, the game
• 56:53
  before this last game, it was about free throws and OKC was
• 56:57
  getting to the line that was getting all the calls.
• 56:59
  And then you turn around the next game after that, Lakers had
• 57:02
  25 free throws to Oklahoma City, 10.
• 57:05
  And then the next thing you know, they beat them still about
• 57:07
  23 points. So and then today, OKC is just a
• 57:09
  better team. They're work.
• 57:11
  They're well old machine. They're definitely going to set
• 57:13
  on repeat this year. And so the Lakers are just
• 57:17
  tonight away from being sent to Cancun.
• 57:20
  Q. On a side note.
• 57:21
  There's a Raymond, there's a team in New York has has
• 57:24
  something to say about that. Q On news for you.
• 57:27
  On a side note, we do have to venture the fact that JJ Reddick
• 57:29
  also embarrassed himself by saying, Oh well, LeBron James
• 57:32
  gets the worst, worst treatment by the referees among star
• 57:35
  players. Right, of all people, a 41 year
• 57:39
  old out there flopping. Maybe it's the same mindset of a
• 57:41
  foul discrepancy that Joel Embiid does.
• 57:44
  No folks actually had a meeting with the referees post game
• 57:48
  about getting foul calls which is insane.
• 57:52
  I have a meeting with the referees after the game and just
• 57:54
  tell them that you're a bunch of idiots, let's go move on.
• 57:57
  All right, we really got one more story we're going to do.
• 57:59
  Our guest is actually in a little early tonight, so we'll
• 58:01
  get finished with this news that came out today.
• 58:03
  We it's like a worst kept secret in the NBA.
• 58:07
  Giannis is going to be traded, but now we're hearing from
• 58:10
  Buck's ownership it's going to happen before the draft, which
• 58:13
  makes you think it might be to one of these teams with a high
• 58:18
  draft pick. Although we have heard Giannis
• 58:20
  only wants to to be traded to the East Coast, he does
• 58:24
  apparently have a list of 10 teams that he's willing to go
• 58:27
  to. I've said this and watching the
• 58:31
  Celtics play the way they played in that series against the
• 58:35
  76ers, they need a big and Giannis is the best guy
• 58:37
  available. He's one of the top five players
• 58:39
  in the league. And what I've heard through the
• 58:42
  Grapevine and I've listened and I've read so many stories, is
• 58:45
  that Jayson Tatum is the guy that they're thinking about
• 58:49
  possibly moving laughter or not. Kevin Garnett said it, Paul
• 58:53
  Pierce said it, that they think right now Jayson Tatum is not
• 58:58
  100% healthy. He might never be 100% healthy
• 59:01
  and and to me right now, when you look at the team, Jason
• 59:04
  Tatum makes a lot of sense. He's not.
• 59:06
  He's already said that he might need surgery in the offseason
• 59:09
  again and could be out 1/4 of the season next year.
• 59:12
  It it's a big problem right now and we don't know if we're going
• 59:15
  to see the best of Jason Tatum. You tear your Achilles at the
• 59:18
  age of 2829. Go back and look at Klay
• 59:21
  Thompson. Was he the same player?
• 59:23
  Kobe Bryant, He was 3334, right? I think he was.
• 59:27
  Yep. Wasn't the same player.
• 59:29
  Go back to all the guys at the tail, you know, and you know, if
• 59:31
  you're younger, it's different. Jason Tatum is going to, he's
• 59:34
  going to be 30 years old. I, I think to me in a position
• 59:39
  that they're in, take the guys. 2828, yeah, he's.
• 59:42
  Going to be 29. All right, he's 29.
• 59:45
  Who Cares 20? 9 No, it's not.
• 59:47
  No, it's not. Next year he'll be 29.
• 59:49
  No, no it's not. He's at the when you look at
• 59:53
  your prime went up. No, it's not when you start your
• 59:55
  prime at 25 years old, you're done at 30.
• 59:58
  Everything after that is is golden.
• 1:00:01
  If you're after that, you're you're looked at as a Hall of
• 1:00:03
  Fame, yes, in the NBA, go look at it.
• 1:00:05
  Yes, it. Is yes it?
• 1:00:07
  Is oh, get out of here. It absolutely is.
• 1:00:09
  It absolutely is your your prime is from 25 to 30.
• 1:00:13
  And when you tear, when you tear your Achilles, the way he tear
• 1:00:16
  his Achilles, it was worse than Halliburton.
• 1:00:19
  It was worse than all the Achilles.
• 1:00:22
  Damian Lillard, it was worse than any of those guys.
• 1:00:24
  He teared his whole Achilles. He ruptured his Achilles.
• 1:00:28
  It's a lot different. So say whatever you want.
• 1:00:32
  You want to say he's in his prime or he's at, he's still at
• 1:00:34
  the I don't care. What you said he's in his prime.
• 1:00:36
  I don't that's 25 to 30 is his. Prime.
• 1:00:38
  Yeah, he's almost done with his prime, and I think that's the
• 1:00:40
  guy that's going to move no matter what.
• 1:00:42
  I I think that makes more sense than any of it.
• 1:00:44
  Yeah, I was going to mention what you were saying before Fish
• 1:00:46
  with the draft order that definitely benefits A-Team like
• 1:00:49
  Atlanta that's in the top 8 now getting from, I know they've
• 1:00:53
  been rumors on Towns, but you want to get more picks, you're
• 1:00:55
  going to still need a more desperate team.
• 1:00:57
  I don't know if any one of these other teams right now are an
• 1:01:00
  obvious contender besides IC Atlanta right now.
• 1:01:02
  So if you want to get 2 picks in the top ten, I think that's the
• 1:01:04
  way to do it. Otherwise you're not going to
• 1:01:06
  get the multiple picks. Probably that you were to figure
• 1:01:08
  it in another case. He's not going to Atlanta.
• 1:01:11
  If the if the Bucks want to trade within the top ten, I
• 1:01:13
  think that's the only thing he want to go to the Nets.
• 1:01:15
  Everything that I've heard about Giannis, he wants to go to a
• 1:01:18
  city. He can build his brand.
• 1:01:20
  That's what he wants to do. Atlanta No.
• 1:01:23
  He was in Atlanta. He's not going to build his
• 1:01:24
  brand in Atlanta. Atlanta is not is not a place
• 1:01:27
  where he wants to go. He wants to go to Miami, New
• 1:01:29
  York, LA, but he doesn't even want to go out West.
• 1:01:31
  So to me, the two cities is New York and Miami.
• 1:01:35
  So expect Miami to make a bid for him in the offseason.
• 1:01:38
  That's what I think is going to happen.
• 1:01:40
  And the Celtics and the Celtics. I forgot about the Celtics too.
• 1:01:43
  The. Celtics going to the Cessins.
• 1:01:45
  And it won't be for Jayden Jayson Tatum.
• 1:01:47
  It'll be for Jaylen Brown. That's your mistake.
• 1:01:50
  That's your mistake. That just.
• 1:01:51
  Shows you obviously with him going on his Twitch friend, I
• 1:01:54
  would think that you know he's on his way out.
• 1:01:57
  I think he's trying to accomplish.
• 1:01:59
  I think he's trying to sell us that he's a true #1 which we
• 1:02:04
  haven't really seen. Obviously he had a good season
• 1:02:07
  this year in regards to MVP, but what else did he you know what
• 1:02:10
  else was on the team and outside of Peyton Richard that white
• 1:02:14
  didn't show up this year. So it was led by him.
• 1:02:17
  So he obviously had to be the number one option.
• 1:02:19
  But I don't think Giannis actually go to the septics.
• 1:02:23
  I think it would be another team.
• 1:02:24
  Obviously the New York Knicks is a contender.
• 1:02:27
  I can see that them trading cat and what not after they lose in
• 1:02:30
  the finals this year to OK see I can see them trading cat out and
• 1:02:34
  blowing everything up. But for the the most part, I
• 1:02:37
  don't see why, you know, I think if Boston has an opportunity,
• 1:02:41
  which I don't think they would take it, Milwaukee, I don't
• 1:02:43
  think Milwaukee would take the Jaylen Brown trade.
• 1:02:47
  So I think that he'll probably end up in New York.
• 1:02:50
  They'll probably blow up everything after they lose in
• 1:02:52
  the Finals and then they'll go far from there.
• 1:02:55
  I think it's. Ridiculous take.
• 1:02:56
  They're they're doing so well and you're saying they're going
• 1:02:58
  to blow it up. They're.
• 1:02:59
  Going to blow it up after they lose the finals, after they lose
• 1:03:01
  the. By the way, by the way, it's not
• 1:03:03
  Jaylen Brown. Jaylen Brown is the more
• 1:03:05
  healthier guy, and he proved himself he can be even older.
• 1:03:09
  And yes, he's older and Jason Tatum came back and almost
• 1:03:12
  averaged a triple double for this person that you think does
• 1:03:14
  first of all, have any first? Of all, first of all, Jaylen
• 1:03:17
  Brown. Jaylen Brown got a big, huge
• 1:03:19
  contract worth about 450 million.
• 1:03:21
  Dollars Who gets paid more to him?
• 1:03:23
  Yeah, guess. Guess what?

  Jason Taylor, how does it make sense you're going to take the
• 1:03:27
  guy that has the matching contract?
• 1:03:28
  He's the franchise player, he's proven on all.
• 1:03:31
  Jayson Tatum is not the franchise player he's.
• 1:03:34
  Definitely he. Is not not anymore.
• 1:03:36
  Only to you, Earl, not. He's.
• 1:03:38
  Not he's not. He's not.
• 1:03:42
  Jayson Tatum is not. He's never.
• 1:03:44
  Going to be the same player. He's never going to be the same
• 1:03:46
  player. How many times do I have to tell
• 1:03:48
  you? Just came back and almost
• 1:03:49
  averaged a triple double and. What did he do in game seven?
• 1:03:54
  What did he do in Game 7? Nothing.
• 1:03:56
  Nothing. Because he's not healthy and
• 1:03:58
  he's not going to be healthy. All right, he's.
• 1:04:01
  Not healthy. All right, guys, that has been
• 1:04:04
  our time at the round table for this evening.
• 1:04:07
  We'll do it again next week after the end of the second
• 1:04:09
  round. Jesus, Oh my God, I want to
• 1:04:12
  throw up listen, it's garbage. I mean, you want to see my teeth
• 1:04:16
  are here, baby, they're here. They're ready to roll, baby.
• 1:04:18
  They're not going to pop out tonight.
• 1:04:20
  So that's for damn sure. Actually over the weekend.
• 1:04:23
  Quick story is I'm. Sleeping.
• 1:04:24
  No, we don't want. To I'm sleeping, so I, I'm, I'm
• 1:04:28
  getting my, my front teeth fixed because the doctor, it got me,
• 1:04:32
  you know, I, I was approved for caps and I had nice teeth.
• 1:04:36
  Yeah, there, there it is. I was sleeping.
• 1:04:39
  I wake up and then I realize I, I go to the bathroom, I'm
• 1:04:42
  already to brush my teeth and all that other stuff.
• 1:04:44
  I look in the mirror and I said my tooth is gone and I'm looking
• 1:04:47
  all over my bed for this tooth and it was nowhere to be found.
• 1:04:50
  I I think I, I swallowed it. So yeah, that's that's my luck.
• 1:04:54
  Lady, one of them is rotten, so it's even.
• 1:04:56
  Worse, none of my teeth are not rotten.
• 1:04:58
  I've got good teeth man. What are you talking about?
• 1:05:01
  You're such an ass. Look at you with your white
• 1:05:05
  teeth. Anyways, Yeah, my golf clap of
• 1:05:08
  the day this. Deserves a golf clap.
• 1:05:12
  No doubt. Golf.
• 1:05:13
  Clap Golf. Clap.
• 1:05:16
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, my golf clap goes to this ABS
• 1:05:20
  crap. And I've told I've I've said it
• 1:05:22
  once and I'll say it again. This ABS stupid thing that the
• 1:05:27
  the MLB is holding and and making sure that this is going
• 1:05:31
  to over last everything that we've seen.
• 1:05:34
  Listen to this this happened in the Mets series this this past
• 1:05:37
  weekend. Actually, it happened on Friday.
• 1:05:39
  The Arizona Diamondbacks are relatively conservative and
• 1:05:43
  they're a conservative team when it comes to the usage of the ABS
• 1:05:46
  Challenging the caution may have been the best suited to the
• 1:05:51
  situation with outfielder Goriel found himself on Saturday night
• 1:05:56
  against the New York Mets. Goriel had the six.
• 1:05:59
  He had a six game hitting hitting streak snapped on Friday
• 1:06:03
  night in the series opening loss to the Mets.
• 1:06:06
  Came up to the plate against the Mets against right-hander Clay
• 1:06:10
  Holmes in the second inning on Saturday's contest.
• 1:06:13
  Facing a one and two count, Holmes proceeded to drop a well
• 1:06:19
  placed 82 mile per hour sweeping slider perfectly into the top of
• 1:06:23
  the strike zone. Goriel was fooled badly by a
• 1:06:27
  pitch and in I guess turned away to avoid being hit, turning his
• 1:06:34
  head away from the pitch in the process.
• 1:06:36
  Goriel was that was not even able to see where the pitch
• 1:06:41
  specifically landed, yet opted to challenge the pitch.
• 1:06:44
  Safe to say it was not close, wasn't even a close call.
• 1:06:49
  The pitch was inside the zone by almost a full baseball width.
• 1:06:53
  The call was confirmed and Goriel was out on a looking at a
• 1:07:00
  strike. Ladies and gentlemen, this ABS
• 1:07:02
  challenge thing, I've been watching it with the New York
• 1:07:04
  Yankees. Actually, the Yankees are one of
• 1:07:07
  the best teams when it comes to challenging ABS calls in the
• 1:07:11
  whole league. It's pathetic.
• 1:07:13
  It's pathetic. I, I, I'd rather watch dodgeball
• 1:07:16
  than watch baseball right now, honestly.
• 1:07:18
  The rules are changing. This is our base.
• 1:07:22
  Baseball is our sports pastime. This is everything America's
• 1:07:25
  pastime, and we're watching this.
• 1:07:27
  Could you imagine Babe Ruth standing out there and saying,
• 1:07:30
  OK, I'm, I'm calling that that's not a strike.
• 1:07:32
  I mean, could you imagine that Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, any
• 1:07:37
  one of these guys go out there and say that's not a strike?
• 1:07:40
  I'm, I'm calling, I'm calling to the cameras.
• 1:07:42
  It's pathetic. It doesn't help the game, it
• 1:07:46
  hasn't helped the game. And honestly, as far as I'm
• 1:07:49
  concerned, when everybody says it's we want to speed up the
• 1:07:52
  game, Rob Manford, Manfred, whatever Jabba wants to call him
• 1:07:56
  and whatever you want to call him is a man idiot.
• 1:07:58
  The guy doesn't know what he's doing in 2028 when his contracts
• 1:08:02
  out get rid of him. He's an idiot yeah.
• 1:08:05
  I don't care if baseball doesn't hire us.
• 1:08:06
  I don't care if any baseball network doesn't hire us.
• 1:08:10
  They can kiss my ass. This ABS crap the big bass is
• 1:08:13
  the size of pizza box is the shift is shift that shift it up
• 1:08:17
  your ass. That's all I got to say about my
• 1:08:20
  Golf Club of the day. Thank you to all the fans me
• 1:08:22

  Who do we have on Thursday? All right.
• 1:08:58
  Joining is at 8:20 is former NBA center Greg Oden and also his
• 1:09:03
  director Ritchie Comptum. I'll get that pronunciation from
• 1:09:06
  Nathan. It's one of his guys.
• 1:09:08
  They both will be joining at the same time.
• 1:09:10
  Yeah, I've never interviewed Greg Odin.
• 1:09:13
  A lot of people think he's one of the biggest busts in NBA
• 1:09:15
  history, but that's because of injury.
• 1:09:18
  Unfortunately. He had a really bad foot problem
• 1:09:21
  when he came into the NBA. If anybody knows the story.
• 1:09:23
  So love to hear what Greg Odin is doing.
• 1:09:26
  I guess he's doing a documentary or a movie.
• 1:09:28
  So interesting. Greg is a guy that I'm, I'm
• 1:09:32
  rooting for. I know he's had a rough, rough
• 1:09:35
  10 years, as we all know, but I'm interested to hear what he
• 1:09:39
  has to say about his, his, his past and, and now his future.
• 1:09:43
  Anyways, so that'll be Thursday for all the fans that don't know
• 1:09:47
  we are alive. Every single Mondays and
• 1:09:50
  Thursdays at 7:00 PM. All right, I'm going, I'm gone.
