19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Here we are Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. Again.

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: The Knicks are here to save the NBA playoffs, especially

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: after seeing the ratings of last night's Game one of

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals.

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 4: But Nixon five or six, now, hey, maybe Dragon seven.

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Maya best of nine now best of eleven.

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 4: You know what, since we really didn't get the best

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 4: of nine back at the nineteen nineteen World Series, We're

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 4: gonna play it here.

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: They really need that, Knicks Pacers. How about we extended.

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: How about we just make this the NBA title. Let's

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: just make this the end of title. Going to the

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Knicks lead the Pacers ninety to eighty seven.

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson with twenty seven for the Knicks, Tyres Halliburton

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: with twenty three. They have both looked at times unstoppable

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: in this game. But the first thing I'm gonna say

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: is this, because this is one of those times where

36
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: and we joked around about this going into the series,

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: like oh Rick Carlisle's already complaining about the officiating before

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: they've been played Game one, Like watching this game be officiated,

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: it's not being officiated great for either side. Like you've

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: seen Jalen Brunson getting foul trouble with four on a

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: foul that I can't believe was whistled Karl Anthony Towns

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: as well. I know the same thing has happened for

43
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: the Pacers, you know, the big continuation foul that Brunson

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: got after he picked up his fourth foul was kind

45
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: of a give back. So I really no matter how

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: this turns out at the end, this is a game

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: where I watch both sides and I go, okay, you

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: know what, each side has has an issue with the officiating,

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: which means the officiating can't be complained. Now we know

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter ago, we see how things go, obviously,

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: but to this point, when both sides have issue with

52
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: the officiating, neither side can complain because it's not like

53
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: the pacers are getting done. It's not like the knicks

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: are being done. I'm seeing I'm seeing it on both

55
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: sides right now, and I know that Rick Carla every

56
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: time they cut await him on the side. It's like,

57
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk about the offictioning. I can't

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: wait to talk about the officiating postgame. But I'll tell

59
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: you right now, there's been some questionable stuff, but it's

60
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: really been both sides. I really hope that you would

61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: see a little bit more of letting them play in

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: game one. But this could also be a hey, the

63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: officials aren't gonna let things get so out of whack,

64
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: so game one might be a little bit tighter. Uh So,

65
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: But again, here's where we are. It's a three point

66
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: game and both teams are playing fantastic. This is what

67
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: you want right Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals.

68
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: Well, that's a three point game going to the fourth

69
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: as we roll in and we watched the the Pacers

70
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: try try to get going. Gona be one thing for

71
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 4: the for the Knicks, that was huge second quarter. Jalen

72
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: bruns had got to sit for a full seven minutes

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: of game time. Uh so that should play a little

74
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: bit of a role given his energizer bunny status.

75
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: Uh, that you see in.

76
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: The best or I guess the worst of circumstances. Now

77
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: he's actually rested. But in terms of the officiating watching

78
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: it over the course of that, I just want consistency

79
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: and that's what we're we continue to struggle with of

80
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: all right, I'm gonna touch call the touch files?

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: Am I not? I'm gonna gonna call the moving screen?

82
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: Am I not?

83
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: H the reach in the continuation Like both guys have

84
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: gotten it. Both Haliburton uh and Jalen Brunson have gotten

85
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: that extra step gather well and the in the gather.

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: If I had a nickel for every time that's now

87
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: said on a rate in the.

88
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Tell the gather, it's the thing now in the gather, yes,

89
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: in the gather.

90
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: Like in the grasp once upon a time in the NFL,

91
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 4: all of those things. But you know, just trying to

92
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: figure out where where they decide the line is and

93
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: that's going to be a moving target. We saw the

94
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: Facebook page of the twenty officials that will work the

95
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: Conference finals series. They've got their work cutout for him

96
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: because these are two teams that love to get after

97
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: it and and the big guys are very aggressive and

98
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: and will make guys earn their points at the stripe.

99
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Now, I'm glad you mentioned, you know, getting him, getting

100
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson getting that it's nearly six minutes worth of

101
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: rest in the second quarter. It was a huge deal

102
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 1: because Campaign comes in, who barely played and barely scored

103
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: so far in the playoffs, and he came in and

104
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: the Knicks push that lead out to eight at one point.

105
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Now that they had the lead at halftime when they

106
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: were down early because the Pacers i think started twelve

107
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: for twelve from the floor, So those are some really

108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: big minutes. Campaign hit a couple of threes to get

109
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: the Knicks up there and wound up with a you know,

110
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: taking the lead. So those are some really really big

111
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: buckets there, and some big minutes by campaign because now

112
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: here's Brunson who just hits two circus hoops that you

113
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: look and go Okay, that's not nope, there it goes Okay, yep, Nope,

114
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: those are both going. So it's a three point nick

115
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: lead right now, ninety four ninety one with about ten

116
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: and a half to go in the fourth quarter. So

117
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: we'll have more on this as the game keeps go. Obviously,

118
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: we had a big night, big day today in the

119
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: NBA with Shay Gildas Alexander winning the NBA MVP, and uh,

120
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: I gotta say two things.

121
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: What yes, okay, sure.

122
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: The first thing I'm gonna say is this, all right,

123
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: how's Lebron James? You number five?

124
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: What? What? What?

125
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: What do you want? First? You want? Do you want

126
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: the crazy one? Or do you want the Do you

127
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: want the serious one?

128
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: No, you gotta go serious serious first because then crazy.

129
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: Want so No, you have to actually swing the bat

130
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: to win the MVP, and not doing that.

131
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, OBP might really really matter to people.

132
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: We will get to that, We'll get to the So

133
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing is that I'll give you the serious

134
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: one first is I'm glad SGA one simply because it

135
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: shows you that, Okay, this is an MVP award. It's

136
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: not Player of the Award. Most Valuable Player is for

137
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: a player who is the most valuable to his team,

138
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and you need to achieve as a team to win MVP.

139
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Jokich is phenomenal, Right, MVP player three out of last

140
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: four years. Yeah, I get it. But it's not like

141
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: during the regular season the Nuggets are suddenly out to

142
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: winning sixty five games. They're a nice, middle of the pack,

143
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty five win team. That's what Jokic brings

144
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. SGA this year also had an incredible year, right,

145
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Yollkic, the triple double, all the different things.

146
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: He had a fantastic year. But it's for the regular season.

147
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: It's not just hey, this is the best player. And

148
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: SGA helped lead the Thunder to the best record in

149
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: the West. He did some things we'd never seen in

150
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: the NBA before. So yeah, he's the MVP because it's

151
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: not a Player of the Award, And I am okay.

152
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: If leagues want to say you know what, how about

153
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: we do this. Let's give out more hardware, Let's have

154
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: a Player of the Year award, and let's have an MV.

155
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for years. Why not let's have it.

156
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: M have the the the Kobe Bryant Player of the

157
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Year Award, or however you want to do it. You can,

158
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: you can have it, because that would work. Then you

159
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: can make hey, who's the best player. The best player

160
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: is Nicole Yo, look at it? Okay, great, and then

161
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: the MVP. Jay Gilders, Alexander you do it in Major

162
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: League Baseball. You can do it in the NFL, you

163
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: can do it in the NBA. But really it's more

164
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: for the NBA and the MLB getting that going, because hey,

165
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: when a guy has that great a year, doesn't matter

166
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: if his team is middling in the standings. And yeah,

167
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: and the Nuggets were kind of middling in the standings.

168
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Last word, they won the title, right, but every year

169
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: regular season they finished third or fourth. So I mean,

170
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and say, yeah, you'll catch is

171
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: the MVP again? When when when it's about raising your

172
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: team to a height and they've been just a you know,

173
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: steady they.

174
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: Did boo boo boop.

175
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: You know, fifty five fifty to fifty five win team

176
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: for the last five years.

177
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: Well, but that's the thing, right, if we we've got

178
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: to take it in the the back of this season,

179
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: you could argue this might have been Jokic's finest performance, right,

180
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: Porter Junior wasn't very good. It had injury issues, but

181
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: struggled a bunch, Jamal Murray missed a bunch of time,

182
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: and well you fired Michael.

183
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: Malone in the middle of it.

184
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: All of that, say, you finished with eighteen fewer regular

185
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: season wins than o case. He did so while he

186
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: was a wizard himself, and you could make that argument.

187
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: I was surprised by the margin of victory, right, not

188
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: that sg nds up winning it, but a seventy one

189
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: twenty nine final. That one seemed that was curious to

190
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: me because I think there were still a lot of

191
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: in the you know, anonymous polling towards the end of

192
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: the regular season, was still a lot of nah, Jokic

193
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: just having his finest season and yeah, blah blah.

194
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: And in the end you get SGA off the thirty

195
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: point per game.

196
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: Now that you hit the backlash because you start subtracting

197
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: all the foul shots he shouldn't have taken, and he

198
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: takes his scoring out average down and all of those things.

199
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 4: But for this season, no, I mean I don't have

200
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: an issue with it. You raced out to sixty eight wins.

201
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: You you bludgeon teams time and time again. Right, your

202
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 4: average margin of victory was so great. And I understand

203
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 4: the counter argument as folks, well, you know what, they

204
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 4: hadn't good enough and a deep enough team, and blah

205
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 4: blah blah. He's still the head of the Snake and

206
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: he's still the guy that's the leader, and that is unquestioned,

207
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 4: and he gets them to sixty eight wins in a

208
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: very difficult and deep Western Conference. So yeah, to the

209
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: victor goes the spoils, and it creates a new narrative. Right,

210
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: there's SGA given Nicole Yo gets another one. Hey, four

211
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: out of five. You're creating new stars, right, that's it.

212
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: It has always been creating new stars, right, Like how

213
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: did Jordan not win every year? How did Shock not

214
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: win every year?

215
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: Right?

216
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: We want to create new stars. I get it. So

217
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad that happened because I'm glad because it shows you, Hey, yeah, took.

218
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: We took that this is gonna be MVP of one.

219
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the margin of victory won't matter when we

220
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 4: get further away from it, because it's it's not like

221
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 4: it's a Shaq Iverson thing you would have been getting.

222
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: In Ah, not really.

223
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

224
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: The other one is this now here?

225
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 4: Okay, let's go crazy all right, come on now, got

226
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 4: to provide content for a lot of folks.

227
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: Get those notebooks out.

228
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: The Oklahoma City Thunder have you know, since they've come

229
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: into the league. Hey, look at this small market team,

230
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, finding a way to stay relevant. Boy, they're

231
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: a great story. Okay, but maybe they're the biggest bleeping

232
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: underachievers in the NBA.

233
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

234
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: Sure, you have had three different MVPs in the last decade. Three,

235
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: not one, not two, You've had three. The teams with

236
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: three MVPs aren't like the Lakers and the Celtics and

237
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: Banners and championships. You've had three guys win MVP in

238
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: the last decade. And yet and this way, hey, we

239
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: get to the finals, it'll be the second time. Like,

240
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: maybe you're the biggest underachievers in the NBA.

241
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: Talent has come through the door.

242
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: About that man, I'm still looking.

243
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: For an original, mister unreliable newspaper. And you traded James Harden.

244
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: When you say, oh, we can't pay him, we got

245
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: to we can't pay hard, I won't trade James Harden.

246
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: And then he goes and becomes a super duperstar. Like

247
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe you're the biggest underachievers of the last decade.

248
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: But go back and look at all of the super teams. Right,

249
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: that was the the term dejure for about fifteen fifteen years.

250
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: It was on the menu.

251
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: It's like what soup of the day, same as it

252
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: ever was super teams and you guys are going all

253
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: over the place to team up.

254
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: They had one happened.

255
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: Organically fell out of the sky and they couldn't win.

256
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean really three different MVPs, and they traded James Harden,

257
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: Like like that's like, how do you have all that talent?

258
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: And this is what we're here in the Western Conference

259
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: finals this year one game to another. Okay, great, right, awesome,

260
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: you're here, you have a chance. But in the in

261
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: the last ten years, this is who you've had come

262
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: through your come through your team.

263
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: It's funny because you bring this up now and when

264
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: I saw the little graphic pop by and there was

265
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 4: the picture of him with the MVP trophy. You know

266
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: that someone had had doctored and put together because obviously.

267
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 2: It wasn't handed to him just yet.

268
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: Uh and it was with the other okay, c MVPs,

269
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: I had that fleeting moment to go.

270
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: It's a lot of talent. I mean, three m vps

271
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: with the Thunder.

272
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean maybe they've been the biggest underachievers in the NBA.

273
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: With the Knicks, stop stop, we had no talent for

274
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: a long time. Do you really think the Knicks ever

275
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: underachieved up until the last ye towards Zion? Come on,

276
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: come on, old talent a clown? That is true, I'm

277
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: telling you man, I mean really, just think about that

278
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: for a second, that this is this is where they're

279
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: at that with three m vps and James Harden and yeah,

280
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: we're still trying to break through.

281
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: Actually, who else would be on that metal stand though?

282
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 4: In terms of underachievers, I mean the Lakers because they

283
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: just got that one.

284
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: Well yeah yeah with Lebron. Yeah, and you could talk

285
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: about the Kavs where they underachievers for a long time,

286
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: but Lebron came back and won there. But I mean

287
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: you think about three it's not like you had one guy. Well,

288
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: you had multiple fights in the after yeah, and James

289
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Harden before you traded him. You had all of that out.

290
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: You're maybe the biggest underachieved in the NBA. I mean,

291
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: just think of that truck. They have a lot of

292
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: draft picks left though. No, no, no, no, no, we're

293
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: not We're not under again. You have to be good

294
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: to underachieve. Well, you had expectations. The Knicks underachieved you

295
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: for a decade. The Knicks only had one thing wrong

296
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: with them the last few years.

297
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: What's one thing?

298
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: Just one thing wrong? One thing the whole tame one

299
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: thing wrong. They stunk. They don't stink. Now, you know,

300
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about James Dolan in a while. It

301
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: is a one oh one ninety two lead for the

302
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Knicks over the Pacers. With Brunson on the bench, the

303
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Knicks have pushed this lead out to nine. Karl Anthony

304
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: Towns headed to the free throw line. He's gonna shoot

305
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: three three throws as he.

306
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 4: Was fouled taking a three, the result of Rick Carlisle

307
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,599
Speaker 4: yelling at Nie Smith after all of the non closeouts,

308
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 4: so this time, I'm getting it his way.

309
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: Get ready, get ready for a big time, Ready for

310
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: a new job. Let Express employment professionals out. While Express

311

361
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: coming up a minute with Jason Cole. But right now,

362
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: the Knicks lead is one eleven to ninety six. Is

363
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: a fifteen point lead with six minutes left to play.

364
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: The big thing to know they have pushed this lead.

365
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 3: It was.

366
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: It was a three to five point game for the

367
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: majority of the second of the last part of the

368
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: third quarter. Jalen Brunson goes to the bench picking up

369
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: his fifth foul. Now the fourth foul is on the refs.

370
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: Fifth foul was on him A bad play. Look the

371
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: Pacers are going at him defensively because I want to

372
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: try to get him in foul trouble, want to try

373
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: to make him work, and it worked. He got up

374
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: in the air. TJ. McConnell gets his fifth foul. But

375
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: since leaving the game, the Knicks have now pushed this

376
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: lead out to fifteen with Brunson sitting on the bench,

377
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight and nine for Karl Anthony Towns, who is

378
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: taking heat check threes right now because he's feeling it

379
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: so much. Look Brunson thirty one before he goes to

380
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: the bench with the five fouls. It really has been

381
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: something to see with Jalen Brunson on the bench. You

382
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: think things are going to get a little nervous. Things

383
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: are gonna get a little weird, Things are gonna a

384
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: little crazy. The Knicks lead gets pushed out to fifteen

385
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: with under six minutes left to get z over.

386
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 4: Under was thirty and a half Jalen Brunson, So there

387
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: you go. But what Rick Carlile's really got to be

388
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 4: salty about is how well the Knicks have played for

389
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: Tom Thibodeau while Jalen Brunson's been sitting on his ass.

390
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: Challenge back to that second quarder and look at it.

391
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 4: Now there's a much different Nick squad against this Pacers team,

392
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: which is remarkable.

393
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: They haven't played since February. Yeah, right, but now we're

394
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: gonna play three more games after this, so it's all

395
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: little jesty. Be careful. More on this coming up in

396
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: a few minutes the next lead one eleven ninety eight,

397
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: about five minutes left to go and Game one of

398
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals. But from the NFL today, look,

399
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: it began with a lot of drama with the Tush

400
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: Push not getting banned after NFL owners had a very

401
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: contentious meeting where they voted and they didn't get enough

402
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: votes to overturn the Tush pushvan band. So it's gonna

403
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: live for at least another year. Other big change the

404
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: NFL as well. We're talking about how there's no reseting

405
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,239
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and other big things. And then the

406
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: big story occurs later today, a shocker to all of us.

407
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Colts owner Jim Ersay dies suddenly in his sleep at

408
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: the age of sixty five, and you have seen the

409
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: plaudits come in for him over the course of the

410
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: past hours. A guy that's out of life, right, we

411
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: know he liked to get out. You know, he had

412
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: one of those robust, grab life by the horns type

413
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: of personality. You've seen him. He's been very visible and

414
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: in certain stories where he probably shouldn't have been. But

415
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: you see all the philanthropic work, all the great things

416
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: being said about him, all the things he did in

417
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: and out of the community, and it's something to have

418
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: this part of his life be focused on. But again,

419
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: the big shock or jim Ers passing away at the

420
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: age of sixty five joining us now on the hotline

421
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: to break it all down. Longtime NFL inside Er Hall

422
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: of Fame voter, he's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two.

423
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: Check him out of the thirty third team. It is

424
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: Jason Cole, Jay Cole, what's happening?

425
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: Well, listen to this news just I also came out

426
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: with a new book. I forgot to tell you guys

427
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: about that. Okay, about Robert Taylor, a guy who's a

428
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: quadriplegic and and former cal rugby player. But we'll get

429
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 3: back to that at the end because Roberts not Roberts

430
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 3: said that. Jim Or said far more important, far more

431
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: interesting person to discuss, even in death. He was a Really,

432
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: he was really a wonderful guy. You know, obviously troubled,

433
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: obviously at issue. You know, a lot of a lot

434
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: of demons. There a lot of demons, you know, probably

435
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 3: from childhood, given that his dad was a pretty heavy

436
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: alcoholic too, But really, you know, an earnest guy. He

437
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: could actually have a conversation with and like talk to

438
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: him about his family. He'd share things, really actually talk

439
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: about football because he actually came through in football. He

440
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: was a he was a general manager. Like he worked

441
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: at understanding the game better than most owners who you

442
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: you ever run into, Like, he really did get it

443
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: in certain ways. But yeah, that was you know, a

444
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: lot a lot of very negative headlines along the way

445
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 3: as well. Unfortunately, what if I said to you.

446
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Hey, what's one story about about him that that you

447
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: all would defall to and say, this is what I

448
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: think about, this, what I think of when I think

449
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: of a versay and all of that. What story would

450
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: you tell?

451
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't think it would be one single story.

452
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: It would be anytime you approach to me, always stop,

453
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 3: and he would answer our question and he would treat

454
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: me with a certain amount of dignity that he was

455
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: not above you like even though he's a billionaire, even

456
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: though he you know, had moved a team and his

457
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 3: dad had made a lot of money and he was

458
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: a rich kid growing up. Like there's a genuineness, there's

459
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 3: a I don't know, a human frailty about him that

460
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: made him understand that he wasn't above anybody else despite

461
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: his financial stature. And that's pretty rare in that group,

462
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: Like they look down upon people a lot. Let me

463
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: just pray it to you that way, Like Woody Johnson

464
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: doesn't have a lot of respect for people who don't

465
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: have as much money as him. Let me just play

466
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 3: it that way.

467
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 4: Also a guy that was a fan like the rest

468
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 4: of us, with that rock collection and everything that he

469
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 4: assembled over the year.

470
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 3: Jacobs, Oh yeah, I mean yeah, a good dude and

471
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: really human and I never like didn't hide from the

472
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: fact that he had problems, right Like, he didn't. He

473
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: didn't deny it. He didn't sit there and try and

474
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 3: tell you other it's all lies or you know, pretend

475
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: that he was something he wasn't right like, he owned it.

476
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: He owned his troubles, he owned his frailty, he owned

477
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: his humanness. And again, unlike other people in that position

478
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: who do not like to you know, have to own

479
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 3: you know, what's wrong with them? Like just so many

480
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 3: of those guys who who don't want to hear anything

481
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 3: bad about themselves. And Jimmy or say, was not afraid,

482
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: was not afraid of any of that, and that does

483
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that he would embrace it either, but

484
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: he wasn't afraid of it. Because I guess the best way.

485
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: To put it, Jason call our guest, the Jason smithser

486
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: with Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

487
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's kind of you think about

488
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: it happening today when when the owners had the vote

489
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: on the tush push and a lot of things, and

490
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, you and I text us like, hey, was

491
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: was he there at the owners meeting? And You're like,

492
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he was there. And that's the first

493
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I thought. It was that he did go for an

494
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 1: afternoon nap and and he didn't wake up. It was

495
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: just such an odd thing to have it happen, you know,

496
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: surrounding such a big day for all the owners in

497
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: the NFL.

498
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's his daughter's alternate control of the

499
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: team at this point, he'd given up the day to

500
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 3: day because physically he just couldn't get around that much.

501
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: I mean, the back problems they'd had, you know, all

502
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: the issues that he had dealt with physically over the

503
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: over time. I mean this is on top of yeah,

504
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: the demons, the abuse issues. Like physically he was just yeah,

505
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 3: he got he was destroyed by some of the things

506
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 3: that happened over the course of his life. I mean

507
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 3: he bent over uncomfortable all the time. You could see

508
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: that the man was in pain. Right, So at a

509
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: certain point about I think it was like four years ago,

510
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: he gave up day to day control and going and

511
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 3: go to the meeting. So I'd be surprised if he

512
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: was at this meeting, and that also would have made

513
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: for a much different headline. I'm assuming that he was

514
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 3: at home when that's happened.

515
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 4: Jacoll transitioning to the news from earlier today an hour

516
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: of filibustering and speeches. Jason Kelsey shows up admonishment for

517
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: some terminology used by the Eagles, But the tush push

518
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: remains what flipped it. It seemed like it was a foregone conclusion.

519
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 4: It was going into the Dodo land.

520
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: I think that's an understand, Like, this is football, man, Like,

521
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: how is this not a really basic football play? And

522
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: I just I always look at this going if this

523
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: is this is a goal line drill, right, and if

524
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 3: you happen to have an advantage in a goal line drill,

525
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: why should you take this away? And I get I

526
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 3: get it that pushing a guy upfield and doing certain

527
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: things when when defenders are in helpless positions and not

528
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: prepared for it, it's tough. Like when guys run down field,

529
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 3: Like when offensive linemen run downfield and push their own

530
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: runner against a tackler in a one on one situation.

531
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: That Brunton's on fire.

532
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: By the way, Hey, if I'm not allowed to jump

533
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 1: in and say stuff, you can't say stuff.

534
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 3: I just wait, you just just nailed that. Wow that

535
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 3: was another long st but whatever. Anyways, but like this

536
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: is football, man, Like, I don't get it. I don't

537
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: I don't get why you're taking away something that is

538
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 3: sort of essential to the game. And I know it's not,

539
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: you know, one of the twenty yards playdown field, Like

540
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: sometimes football is just a you know, a one is

541
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: a is a man on man battle for you know,

542
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: a couple of inches of real estate and that's what

543
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be sometimes and that's okay, right now,

544
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 3: that's not to eight you might be getting nervous. So

545
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: I just I just think that, Like here, here's the

546
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 3: other thing that really ticks me off. Why are people

547
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 3: who don't play the game making the rules about how

548
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: the game is supposed to be played And not only

549
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: don't play, but don't know how to play this game,

550
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 3: don't even have the first clue of how it's done.

551
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: And you can tell me about competition committees and coaches

552
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: and all, but my opinion is the players should be

553
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: the ones that make the rules. Now, the players have

554
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 3: to have to sign off on a few things, like

555
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: if they want if they want hits to the head,

556
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 3: they have to agree not to sue the owners over

557
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: you know, cumulative damage, right, like you guys, there has

558
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: to be some give and take, right the owners deserve

559
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: protection over over long term lawsuits. Right if this is

560
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 3: the way the players want to play, And to me,

561
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: like the tush push is a is one that should

562
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: be arguing amongst the player reps in the union and

563
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: in that setting, and especially against guys actually actually played

564
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: like the kickers, who are the player reps should be

565
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: kicked out of the room when they when when this

566
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 3: is discussed. I mean, I'm and I'm serious about that,

567
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: Like they don't belong in the room, and the quarterbacks

568
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 3: don't really belong in the room to that either, But

569
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 3: like that's that's the guys who should be deciding the rules,

570
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: with obviously the coaches having a hand in guiding them

571
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 3: and saying, hey, look, you might want to think about

572
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: what you're doing in this situation if you allow for

573
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: this kind of play. That's why I just don't understand

574
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: why the owners are in on this and they're part

575
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: of it, because when the owners become part of it,

576
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: it's all about, oh are we going to get sued

577
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: because of this? Are we going to do? You know?

578
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 3: Is this is this bad? Like you know, they're always

579
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 3: changing the rules for reasons that sometimes don't have anything

580
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 3: to do with and with actual performance and play on

581
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: the field.

582

Speaker 1: the Knicks and the Pacers. It is a one twenty three,

610
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: one eighteen lead. Now for the Knicks with thirty four

611
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: seconds left to go, they have the basketball. The one

612
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: thing is, there's three minutes to go. You're up by fourteen.

613
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: Don't allow threes. All the pages have done is hit

614
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: threes in the last three minutes. That's all they've done.

615
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: Guys hitting Threesnee Smith is hitting threes. Now all hitting

616
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: three is like, no threes, give up the twos, no threes.

617
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: So now it's a game. And the Knicks half hit

618
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: free throws in the last thirty five seconds, but still

619
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: a five point lead with thirty four seconds.

620
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: To be fair, they hadn't hit any threes all day,

621
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 4: so they were due.

622
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,720

Speaker 6: is not the time for the Pacers to be hitting

654
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 6: those threes. If the Knicks are going to hold on

655

Speaker 6: Diamondbacks and Dodgers are scoreless. Top of the third the

Speaker 6: Mets outscored the Red Sox five to one. The Blue

684
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 6: Jays shut out the Padres fourteen zero, and Dalton varshow

685
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 6: had a great slamming the win. The Yankees walked it

686
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 6: off against the Rangers four to three thanks to Jason Dominguez.

687
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 6: In the NFL Today, it was voted that the toush

688
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 6: push is gonna stay legal. In twenty twenty five, after

689
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 6: not enough owners voted to ban the play that was

690
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 6: made famous by the Eagles, the Lions withdrew their proposal

691
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 6: to change playoff receding, and now teams are also allowed

692
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 6: to do an on set kick at any point if

693
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 6: they are trailing in the game. And the Colts announced

694
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 6: that their owner and CEO, Jim Erse passed away peacefully

695
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 6: in his sleep this afternoon.

696
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: He was sixty five back to you guys, Thank you

697
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: very much. MASSI so really quick. It looks like the

698
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: Pacers are going to get the basketball. Here with about

699
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight seconds left to go down five, Jalen Brunson

700
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: dishes down load to Oganunoby, who goes up and kind

701
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: of gets tangled up with Pascal Siakam, And initially it

702
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: was ruled the ball out of bounds off the Pacers. However,

703
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty obvious on the replay that Andronobi was

704
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: the last guy to touch the ball. So I think

705
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: the Pacers are going to get this ball with about

706
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: twenty nine seconds left down five. I mean, defensively, all

707
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,239
Speaker 1: you gotta say is okay, no threes, right, give them

708
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: the let no threes, no threes. And yet they're allowing

709
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: open threes. And Nie Smith looks like Steph Curry. It

710
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: looks like he's he's run. He's running around the floor

711
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: like Kurt, give me the ball, give me the ball.

712
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: I'm taking three. He's seven out of eight from three

713
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: point right.

714
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have hit five of their last six as

715
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: a team. Uh, you are lucky that your your floor

716
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 4: general gets to stay on the court though to get

717
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 4: open on the inbounds got away with a big ole

718
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: shove that would have disqualified him.

719
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: But now we have the drama twenty nine point nine remaining,

720
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: so they're.

721
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: Still figuring out the replay on this. They could be

722
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: looking at it as well, so that's kind of there.

723
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: So if they could rule a falanc Yakam who did

724
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: push Andrew Nobi's arm. So they're gonna take a while

725
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: on this. Coming up next, are we talking about a

726
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: big Knicks game one win and unbelievable Pacers comeback that

727
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: could be deflating or over time. That's next right here,

740
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: on the floor. The Knicks lead the Pacers one twenty

741
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: four to one twenty one. Karl Anthony Towns one for

742
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: two from the free throw line. So now the Pacers

743
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: and the red hot knee Smith, who is hit I

744
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: think eleven threes in the fourth quarter, Pacers have a

745
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: chance to potentially tie this game and send it to overtime.

746
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: They have the ball with thirteen seconds left in regulation.

747
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: The Knicks commit a foul, so foul on the floor,

748
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: so now make it twelve seconds. Pacers have to run

749
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: another play to inbound again, still up one, twenty four

750
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: to one, twenty one again, twelve and a half seconds

751
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: left to go in the fourth quarter.

752
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: You didn't think it was going to be the Nie

753
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: Smith game, did you?

754
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 1: Nothing's easy? Nothing is easy? My good.

755
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 4: You were worried about Nemhard, the other guy with any

756
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: to start his I mean.

757
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: He is eight out of nine from three point range,

758
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: and he is he has just simply been unconscious like

759
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: he's and he hit his last three because Josh Hart

760
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: slipped a little bit. But that's still running and catching

761
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: and turning and hitting it. Even Rogie Hiller's jealous watching him.

762
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: So because of the foul on the floor with Nie Smith,

763
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: he's at the free throw Oh, it looked like he

764
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: was out of bad Wow. But the foul may have

765
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: preceded that. Well, the foul may have preceded that call.

766
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: Tyger's to the runner. Yeah, they don't have a challenge either.

767
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: So with the foul on the floor, Nie Smith will

768
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: be shooting two free throws instead of three. So the

769
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: best he could do is cut it to one point,

770
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: where the Knicks will still have to inbound the ball

771
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: and shoot free throws with probably seven or eight seconds

772
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: left to go. Here again, it was a fourteen point

773
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: lead with two and a half left to go, and

774
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: then all these threes by the Pacers have cut this

775
