Speaker 1: Ah Yeah, feeling pretty good. Head. So the Knicks and

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: the Pacers are officially now headed to the fourth quarter.

18
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah they are. It looked like we were headed to

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter a couple of minutes ago. However, traveling

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: violation called on the Pacers at the end of the

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: third quarter gave the Knicks a last possession with half

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: a second left. Karl Anthony Towns missus a jumper. So

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: now we're officially at the end of the third quarter.

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: Chalomy looks like Rob mcallaney. He's dressed like a combination

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: of Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall from Coming to America.

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: He's gone full in and the Knicks are twelve minutes

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: away from extending this series to Game six, ninety to

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: seventy three. They lead the Pacers at the end of

29
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: three quarters. It has been a big night for the

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: two players that need to have biggest nights the most.

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson's got thirty, Karl Anthony Towns has nineteen and eleven.

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: And I'll just say this right out of the gate, right, Okay,

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: Still obviously with the next out, Jason, you're not that

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: more excited. Yeah, I've seen them blow leads like eight

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: days ago, spreads minus sixteen this city fourth quarter. You know,

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I talked about this last night and I said, I

37
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: expect the Nicks to come out with this kind of

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: an effort because this is who they are, right. They're

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: not a team that's gonna roll over and die. They're

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: not a team that's going to show up like Minnesota

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: going okay, we're just ready for the off season to start. Cut. Yeah,

42
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm Anthony Edwards. I'm not gonna worry about

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: reading defenses now. It's too late in the year. So

44
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: I knew this was gonna be the effort they were

45
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: going to come in with, especially Brunson knows Karl Anthony Towns,

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: who I'm sure the last twenty four hours had to

47
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: hear the rumors of w wait, they might want to

48
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: trade me at the end of the season. I don't

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: fit that. Well, Okay, I'm gonna go. And he's had

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: a big game. But overall watching this, the Knicks defensively

51
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: are much more intense than they have been at any

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: point in the series against the Paper. So we saw

53
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: the physical file that McBride took towards the end of

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and it's one of those where you're

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: right on the edge. Right, it's like you watched playing

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, your daughter playing soccer softball, right, a hard

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: slide or a tackle, a you know, defensive player getting

58
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: into it, my daughter and defender and side it's like,

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: you know that be aggressive, don't give up your ground,

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: and then then you have to figure out where the

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: line is of an official calling with McBride. No, he

62
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna let Siakam have that easy deuce, right and

63
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: but it's that right on that border because he makes

64
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: no play for the ball at all. So Rick Carlisle

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: is screaming bloody murder and it's like, no, no, this

66
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: is They're gonna review it. It's gonna get adjudicated properly.

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: But it's one of those for the Knicks, you were

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: waiting for them to match that intensity, waiting for them

69
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: to counter with some of the blows for Karl Anthony

70
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: Towns between us talking about you know, you know you're

71
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: trying to talk Giannis into New York into existence. Yeah,

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I folks, they're all listening to the show. I mean,

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. Appreciated on the iHeartRadio app

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: and five hundred affiliates nationwide, we love you. The sheer

75
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: number of jerseys Karl Anthony Town's has been photoshopped into

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, it's got to be all every

77
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: other team in the NBA at this What did I

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: send you? I did what? An hour and a half

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: before tip off, there were rapports said he was a

80
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: game time decision because of that knee injury sustained when

81
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: he went down and was clutching his knee the other day.

82
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: And instead he comes out like a house of fire

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: and he's bouncing around and he's got a good bounce Offensively,

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Bronson's had a couple of minutes of action where he's

85
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: looked like that guy. Right, he's gonna have that big

86
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: special night. So the two of them leading the charge,

87
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: but that intensity, because it's a long offseason. If you

88
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: don't show heart going out and we'll get to Josh

89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Hart and his contributions are lacked there of admitting or

90
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: lack of Yeah, but it's the idea of like in Minnesota,

91
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: they'll transition, right, twins are pretty good, and they'll get

92
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: into JJ McCarthy and everything going on with the Vikings

93
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: in short order. In New York, you can have the

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: Mets and Yankees rolling, that's fine. You can turn the

95
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: page somewhat to the Giants and the Jets. But if

96
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: you go out without heart and showing intestinal fortitude and

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: then knock down, drag out game against these Pacers and

98
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: you go meekly into the good night, that's not good

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: for anybody. And I think they're smart enough to have

100
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: recognized that. Yeah, no, and look, and the main thing

101
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: I've seen again it's hard to say that, hey, you

102
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: need more from Jalen Brunson, because you know, I mean,

103
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: really you need more. But defensively, look, he and Karl

104
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns are the worst two defenders in Knicks halt right.

105
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: We've talked about this the last few nights and how

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: it really hurts them when both of them are on

107
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: the floor, because you know, how good can you be defensively.

108
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: That's why at the end of the year, again, no

109
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: team has found I found more stuff is wrong with

110
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: them in a conference final than the Knicks right now.

111
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: But that's why, hey, going on next year, can you

112
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: survive with both of them? Because you know, Brunson, as

113
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: great as he is, he's not going anywhere and he's

114
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: on the floor. Karl Anthony Towns has been what looked

115
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: to be a great fit and then it was sort

116
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: of an odd fit, and now it really hasn't been

117
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: what they expected it to be and how they thought

118
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: by this point, Hey, Carl Anthony, Ted's gonna be a

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: one two punch with Jalen Brunson. But defensively, the Knicks

120
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: really struggle, and they struggle with Indiana, and there's a

121
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: combination of TIBs not making any adjustments. But all it

122
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: is tonight. Honestly, they're much more active. They're much more aggressive.

123
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: Brunson is more aggressive defensively. You see him moving around

124
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: at the top, you know, coming off screens and staying

125
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: with wherever he's supposed to be. Like this is the

126
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: big thing. It's almost like, boy, I wish the Knicks

127
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: would have realized this before they were down three to one.

128
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: But I celebrate that they came late to the party

129
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: instead of not showing up at all. But that's really it.

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: Like the Knicks offense has been the same. They've been

131
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: hitting big shots all of this. It's a twenty point

132
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: lead right now with eleven minutes to go, and the

133
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Pacers are gonna put it away at some point. Halliburton's

134
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: out of the game right now, so this is gonna

135
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: be if the Knicks can play hard for the next

136
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: five or six minutes and have this fifteen sixteen, eighteen

137
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: point lead. I feel pretty good about the last few

138
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: minutes of this game. But honestly, that's really all it is.

139
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: It's not like all of a sudden the Knicks like, oh,

140
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: they found something and they flip the switch. It's just, hey, defensively, guys,

141
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: you can't have an effort like you had in the

142
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: last game. You can't just have an effort where every

143
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: single but like, what did I say if they took

144
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: five difficult shots in the last game the Pacers, that

145
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: might have been more than I thought. Every other every

146
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: basket every time the Pacers had the ball when they

147
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: would miss, it was because they would miss shots. It

148
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: was not because the Knicks altered them or because the

149
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Knicks defensively put them in a bad spot. It was just, Hey,

150
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: an open player missed or they missed a layup. That's it.

151
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: And you can't play games that way. And that's kind

152
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: of what happened to the Knicks against the Pacers now tonight.

153
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: It's they're making the Pacers work a little bit more.

154
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: And look what's happening now. It's you know, it's it's

155
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: it's a it's a big lead for them here early

156
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: in the fourth. Yeah, and I come back to we

157
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: we threw the flowers at the feet of Haliburton last game.

158
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: Out right, Hey, I did it for daddy. Daddy, look

159
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: at me all of that fun stuff. What a half

160
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: ass effort in a closeout potential? Well, no, no, I'm

161
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: going to try to try to close this out and

162
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: go down swing it. They still have time to close

163
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: it out. How many times have they been down this

164
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: and they came back? Yeah, you know, let mean they've

165
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: been down. They know, Hey, we're down sixteen, We the

166
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: mixt right where we want him. We're all good, we

167
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: got him right here. But look, but you know, i'd

168
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: agree with you. I'd agree with you, except as we've

169
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: seen now in the last few years in the NBA,

170
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: because there's such a you know, it was you know,

171
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: it was great talking with Rick Buker about this the

172
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: other day. Is that, you know, teams just come in

173
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: now into games that they don't absolutely have to have

174
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: and they think we're on the road, we're not going

175
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: to get the calls. Stuff is not going to go

176
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: our way. And if that happens early, they go, see,

177
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: we knew it, and suddenly your effort is not what

178
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be in the game energy. I understand,

179
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: it's a point and that's become a thing now that

180
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: that's it's not like it's oh, hey, here's a. It's

181
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: not like last night with the Timberwolves. Was the was

182
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: an outlier? Was this happens all the time? Now? How

183
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: many times we see big blots like this in the

184
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs? Twenty thirty points is now the norm for

185
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: a lot of games when a team is quit or

186
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: they don't need a game where they feel the series

187
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: is alway. They hit that time now edwards and make

188
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: him realize that you know, what he does on the

189
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: cord for forty eight minutes really does matter, and that

190
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: you're not promised to get back there again because this

191
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: postgame comments were once again very troubled. Oh, he gets

192
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: into his off season, It's like, you know, I'm young,

193
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: We'll get back. No, what did I say last night?

194
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: He needs a conversation with a Hall of famer to say, dude,

195
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: you need to do more. You need if you can't

196
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: read defenses and you need to ask Dante DiVincenzo for help,

197
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: guess what you need to do. You got to get

198
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: in the film room. You have to figure out that

199
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: way to flip the smart shy good school. I mean,

200
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: no question about it, but I mean this is where

201
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't care what sport you bring it from here's

202
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: Dan Marino, here's Mike Trout. You know, you can be

203
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: really good and never win anything. Yeah, like it's hard

204
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: like today. Yeah, the finishing the season is a very

205
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: difficult proposition. Don't assume you're gonna have a lot of

206
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: these runs. But but yeah, looking at the effort tonight,

207
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: you'll loose balls and and just the fast break points

208
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: and everything that had been Pacers Pacers, Pacers, Knicks showing

209
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: some heart in front of the home crowd. Uh so

210
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: making a ninety six eighty one lead for the Knicks

211
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: right now with nine minutes left to go, Brunson's getting

212
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: some rest on the bench, Haliburton getting rest. And it

213
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: was a twenty point lead a couple moments ago, but

214
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: the Pacers hit a couple of shots to make it

215
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: fifteen points. I mean, look, and I'll be honest with you, right,

216
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: what did I say last night? The two real and

217
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: one is one is very selfish. The two were Look,

218
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: the Knicks aren't gonna go down without giving a big

219
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: effort right to have this clearly the series not going

220
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: their way. They're gonna show up big at home and

221
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: mainly the other part I look at it is that Yeah,

222
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: so if they win this game and they lose Saturday,

223
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about it. We don't have

224
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: to talk about it anymore. Like it's done by the

225
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: time we get back on the air Monday night. Like

226
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: this series is where Helen gone. Man, we're previewing the

227
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Pacers and the and the thunder, so very selfishly, I'm like, yeah,

228
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: do it for me. Do it for me so I

229
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: don't have to talk about it, so I don't have

230
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: to spend three hours tonight with the Knicks Wake. We

231
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: had the knixt funeral the other night. Now the Knicks

232
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: Wake would have to be tonight at least, do that

233
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, I mean, we keep expanding our reach,

234
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, like the blob city after city and just

235
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: taking over across the land and more and more ears

236
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: across New York State. Tonight you were starting to get

237
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: back into a little uh, you know, go New York,

238
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: go guy. In the first half, it was it was

239
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: the most emotion you've shown since Game one. Well yeah,

240
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: get dude, Game one. It came out, I mean game

241
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: you were so jacked up and then and then it

242
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: was like someone came I don't know and started throwing

243
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: bottles at your car as just at the harmon. Teams

244
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: with a nine point lead and fifty seconds to go

245
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: in a game. Oh wait wait, fourteen hundred and forty

246
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: and no losses until game one in the history you

247
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: get to raise a banner your record center is. Yeah,

248
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: you know what I thought about? How bad that? That's?

249
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: That sounds? How much worse? Is ready for this? I

250
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: think about the other day, going okay, so this is

251
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: when they were keeping track in the in the in

252
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: the midnight nineties, right, okay, sure, fifty you know, nine

253
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: pointly fifty one seconds left to go, fourteen hundred and

254
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: fourteen wins and no loss that's a lot of data.

255
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: Here's how bad that is. If you can go back further, right,

256
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: because what was going on in the mid nineties, Yes

257
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: we had the three point shot, but not nearly to

258
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: this extent, not nearly to where teams can make three

259
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: and four threes in the final fifty seconds of a

260
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: game and win. Okay, all right, so maybe not there?

261
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: What about going back no three point shot? Remember, no

262
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: three point shots? So when you're down nine with fifty

263
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: seconds left to go, that's a five possession game, right,

264
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: So I guarantee you that that was in that. I

265
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: would not guarantee you, but I would say if you

266
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: if I had to go to Vegas and bet all

267
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: my money, I would say, if you could find a

268
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: way to go back all the way to the beginning

269
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: of the NBA, when the peach baskets were up in

270
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: the final scores for like four to two, if you

271
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: could go all the way back to that, you would

272
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: find zero instances of a team up nine points with

273
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: fifty one seconds left to go and wind up losing

274
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: that game. Zero out of the history of the NBA,

275
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: when James Naismith was in Canada going, hey, if I

276
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: bring this game to the United States, they might like

277
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: it and maybe we'll get a team here in you know,

278
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: eighty or ninety years. Well, and don't forget the first

279
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: decade of the NBA, there was no shot gone. I'm

280
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: telling you, man so well, you would still foul to

281
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: put guys in the free throw line, but I mean

282
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: you'd have to catch them. Yeah, cat potato baby. If

283
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, look, if the ball's going, they're not

284
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: calling the file. It's too big, man, the court is

285
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: too big. Already passed it. You've done and back then

286
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: they were smaller guys. So I mean you had more

287
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: room on the on the court. I got so Game

288
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: one is a lot to come back. I don't know

289
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: that I'll ever be back from goal over Macho grande.

290
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: I'll never be over Macho grande. I don't know that

291
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: I'll ever get over Game one. Game one was that

292
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: bad man. It was that.

293
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: Did you write any fiction off of that?

294
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: Did you at least get a new chapter to a

295
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,479
Speaker 1: post apocalyptic book? Oh no, the entire night was post apocalyptic.

296
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: That's you. No. I saw the thousand yards stay in

297
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: New York. I saw your soul leave your body and

298
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: hover for a second, and then it waved you off

299
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: like sipowitch. If the apocalypse happen and during Game one, okay,

300
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: the news in New York would open up eleven, going,

301
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: the apocalypse is here. Many of us are dead. Half

302
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: of the people here are dead. But boy also maybe

303
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: dead the New York Knicks. Let's go live to Madison

304
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: Square Garden and find out the latest on that incredible

305
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: Oh wait, wait oh, our reporter has been eaten by

306
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,920

Speaker 1: on Silver Spoons that Aaron Gray? Aaron Gray see it

324
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: all ties together?

325
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: Oh?

326
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: She was one of my first TV crushes. I was like,

327
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,880

00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: Rogers every Sunday night after I take my shower and

00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: before I go to bed early for school. Could I

331
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: watch Buck Roger. You realize that for about eight years

332
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: Gil Gerard was married to Connie Selica. I did not

333
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: know that about that. Wow, thinks you learned? And TJ.

Speaker 1: Maybe they lived in a hotel at that point. TJ.

335
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Now we get into the Brolins and Panos. So we

336
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: get back to post apocalyptic world. See it all ties together?

337
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: Under eight minutes left to go. The Knicks lead the

338
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: Pacers by twelve. Halliburton's back in the game, Brunson's back

339
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: in the game. So I direct you the Mike Harry

Speaker 1: on this game. But coming up next, not one, but

345
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: two big stories out of college basketball and college football.

346
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: If you like more teams in the playoffs, you're gonna

347
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: love what's coming up next. That's straight ahead, Jason and Mike.

348
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: You are listening to Fox.

352
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes it just shake my head at the shots Jalen Brunson.

353
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: H it's just what are you gonna do? Right? Big

354
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: hoop by Brunson right there, pushes the Knicks lead back

355
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: out to eighteen ye Nix lead the Pacers one oh

356
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: four eighty six, just over four minutes left to go.

357
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: And one of those shots that if he missed it,

358
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: you'd say, why is he taking that shot?

359
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 3: No?

360
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: No, I mean that's just a way I No. I've

361
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: come to the come to the conclusion. Whatever Runson does,

362
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: I will live and die with that. That's absolutely fine.

363
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: If Brunson whatever yees so defensively, no, but offensively, if

364
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: he wants to have one foot falling out of bounds

365
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: and throw it up with a hook shot righty, If

366
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: he wants to put up a shot like what what's

367
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: the shot that got uh Woody Harrelson got h Rosie

368
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: Perez on Jeopardy with and White Men Can't Jump when

369
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: he had to make the hook shot from the other

370
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: free throw like, if that's what Brunson lot, okay, I'm

371
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: okay with that. If that's a Brunston needs to put up,

372
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: that's a bunt needs to put up a big jumper.

373
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: And again it's it's a sixteen point lead. Now for

374
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: the Knicks, three and a half minutes left to go.

375
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: I we'll have more on this game coming up in

376
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: a few minutes up. Maybe the Pacers have the Knicks

377
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: where they want him, but you know, we'll see. Uh So,

378
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: if you like more teams in playoffs, and who doesn't,

379
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: right this is these are not one, but two great

380
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: stories come in your way, college basketball and college football.

381
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time and by that I

382
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: mean maybe just a couple of months until we get

383
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: an expanded college basketball tournament and an expanded college football playoff.

384
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: College basketball first, the tournament could expand to seventy two

385
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: or seventy six teams, with a decision hoped for in

386
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: the next few months. This is by NCAA President Charlie Baker.

387
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: Charlie.

388
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: Right now people are saying, oh, so they do have

389
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: a president. Yeah, a member Charlie. There is somebody, Member Baker,

390
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: there is somebody in charge of college basketball. I didn't

391
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: think there was none there. It's not college football. He

392
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: fit the suit. Right, So seventy two or seventy six

393
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: teams with a decision hope for in the next few months. Right.

394
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: Number one, we've talked about this for a while. Of

395
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: course this is going to happen, right And I can

396
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: sit Aaron. You could talk about the money and more

397
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: teams getting in, and the and the overall appeal of

398
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: putting more teams in. But I will say, I will

399
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: say two things outside of that. Where it's money, it's money.

400
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to fault to the money, the money, the money.

401
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's the fault to the money. But sometimes there's

402
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: two things. Number One, you will get a better first

403
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: four because right now it feels like the first four

404
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: is sort of a piecemeal thing. Like, hey, we wanted

405
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: to expand the tournament a little bit, so we put

406
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: some more teams in. We have a couple of games

407
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: on Tuesday and Wednesday, and that gets into the first round.

408
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: But it kind of feels like it's halfway done, right,

409
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: Like like you started something on your house and like, okay,

410
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: well we ran out of money for now, so I

411
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: got a bathroom that's half built. When when we get

412
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: money again of everything else, Okay, we're gonna finish. Does

413
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,239
Speaker 1: that have holes? Yes, it has holes? Can use it?

414
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: Can we use it? Yeah, it's a big hole in

415
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: the ground. That's called the latrine. No, it's a bathroom.

416
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: It's back it gets it done, put it, put it

417
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: on zillow. It's a it's a three and two and

418
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: a half. Now, so it's a better first four because

419
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: it is Okay, instead of this piece meal Tuesday Wednesday,

420
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: it is now, hey, four games on Tuesday, four games

421
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, right, and that and that's great. All of

422
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, you can own the entire week. If you

423
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: are the NCAA tournament, you own selection Sunday. You're off

424
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: on Monday, obviously, be believe me, if they could find

425
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: a way to get games in a Monday, they would.

426
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: But you're talking about now a mini NCAA tournament night

427
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: in prime time on Tuesday and Wednesday. Because what do

428
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: we get on Thursday and Friday? Right, it's four games

429
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: at night? Right, you get the games all day obviously,

430
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: but then at night it's four games. Well, now we're

431
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: getting four games in a primetime window. And it feels

432
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: like a full night of the NCAA tournament and it's

433
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: now you own the entire week in college bass, which

434
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: comes back to everybody's getting more money, right right? I mean, look,

435
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: we can push it off to logic and what's the difference.

436
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: Let them all in it, come to this house, be

437
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: one of the you know, glorious people and start singing

438
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: who lyrics as we go. But the you're looking at

439
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: a situation whereby who's complaining when teams get get in?

440
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: And it's the all right, did you leave anybody out

441
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: that has a viable chance? Well no, And generally the

442
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: argument is no, except for in that local market where

443
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: there'll be a little bit of outrage and a fight.

444
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: But if it means that you get to own another

445
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: couple of days, it makes a couple of teams more

446
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: viable in terms of transfer portals and places where players go.

447
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: In an era where we're seeing a dilution of talent

448
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: because there are opportunities, nil, scholarship productions, all of that

449
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: stuff across all sports to where guys are looking and

450
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: women are looking for their opportunities, it's only good for

451
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: the business as a whole, right, there's so much growth

452
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: to be had, There opportunities for coaches, for the players

453
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: to be seen, and obviously for the cash registered to

454
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: ring a few more times. True TV or whoever else

455
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: in the streaming world decides they want a piece of

456
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: that pie. Now, the other part of it is this,

457
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: and this is why everybody's going to agree to it.

458
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: What if we've seen be the big trend the last

459
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: decade plus in college basketball the mid majors, Right, Butler

460
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: makes the back to back national championship inside, Well, we

461
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: gotta let them mid majors in. Well, too many mid

462
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: majors are getting in, too many way, too many mid

463
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: majors are getting in. As I told you, I don't

464
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: think hardly any mid majors deserve to get in because

465
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: they don't play the year, they don't play the same

466
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: schedule that the power conferences do, so I don't think

467
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: they should get in. But okay, you're in. It's fun.

468
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: It's fun to see the mid major upsets. I love them.

469
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: But adding more teams means more Power conference teams will

470
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: get in, and and so everybody's gonna be on board

471
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: with that because it's not gonna be all We're gonna

472
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: we can let Monmuthin again. You know we can let

473
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's in it. No, we can we let No,

474
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: you're not letting in a third team from the from

475
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: the West Coast Conference. It's gonna be We're gonna have

476
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: two more teams in the Big Ten, one more team

477
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: from the ACC, one more team from the SEC. That's

478
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: what this means. There's gonna be more Power Conference teams

479
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: are gonna get in, which all of college baskets better.

480
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: When these teams get in, they're more fun, they're more

481
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: fun seeing these teams on Tuesday and Wednesday. Hey, it's great.

482
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: That okay, great, but we got al Corn State is

483
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: playing against UAB. That's awesome, right, it's great, Oh, Arizona State, Hey,

484
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: you got give me power five teams, right, give me

485
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: power five teams that are getting in. I think people

486
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: would like to see if Syracuse is playing against Wisconsin

487
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: in a A in an early first round game in

488
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: the NCAA tourn those are games people are gonna watch.

489
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't I don't get you know,

490
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't get the moving against it. But now seeing

491
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: that this is what it's gonna be, everybody's gonna go

492
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: for it and by this time next year, we're gonna say, hey,

493
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to the bigger tournament. I mean this

494
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: is perfect that as we're talking about expanding, so pretty

495
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: much everybody gets in you immediately go to a Syracuse reference.

496
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: So I mean that's good. If you had to say

497
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: to me, okay, who are some of the power teams

498
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: conference teams that used to be big deals that have

499
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: a tough time making the tournament. Now Syracuse at the

500
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: top of that list. To the larger point, let me

501
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: say USC, come on, man, and I don't I don't

502
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: care what conference they're from, because we know that in reality,

503
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: there is a very small group of teams that are

504
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: really going to compete for a title. Now, if the

505
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: luck of the aw an injury, the right seating, and

506
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: the road opens up, then yeah, we get some craziness

507
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: and you have massive runs where a team is led

508
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: by veteran guard play and all those cliches that we

509
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: do to where you get Butler a couple of times.

510
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: It's great, it's good for and it's good for outside

511
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: the game, right, and this is where you get the

512
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: periphery eyeballs people that are watching college buckets. As soon

513
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: as there's a bracket to be filled out, or a

514
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: bunch of games that they can bet and go to

515
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Vegas or whatever, or their mobile apps they're in. It

516
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's the fringe folks that perhaps you bring

517
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: in and look all for glory of Alma Mater. It's

518
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: a lot easier to get that first. Hey we need

519
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: we hadn't heard from you this year. We'd like some

520
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: money if it starts with, hey, we made the NCAA tournament,

521
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: because again the fringe person saying good for us, good notoriety.

522
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: How many teams made to turn it, it doesn't matter.

523
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: You're not putting that in now. So that's great news.

524
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: So you know that's gonna happen. The other thing is,

525
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: you know we're getting expanded college football player four year

526
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: from now. As this five plus eleven model, which is

527
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: what it's been called the last couple of days where

528
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: the five conference champions and eleven at large bids is

529
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: starting to gain a lot of momentum and different conference

530
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: leaders like it and they're eyeing the next steps as

531
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: to how we make this happen right now this would

532
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: be for twenty twenty six and beyond. And yeah, we've

533
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: talked about that. Again, the money is there, and all

534
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: the money, yes we can have more games, and yes

535
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big Ten will be happy because

536
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: likely they will get without getting a guarantee of getting

537
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: more teams in. I am sure they will get more

538
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: teams in with a Laurel and Hardy. So there's gonna

539
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: be a bit of hand ringing on it. And you

540
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: know the SEC and the Big Ten are going to

541
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: push for automatic bids for them, and you know there's

542
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: some different nuances of it. But outside of the money, again,

543
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you another reason why this is done. Why

544
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: did college football expand the playoff to begin with? Because

545
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: he saw after not long amount of time, boy, college

546
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: football really became regionalized in the last ten to twelve years,

547
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: and it wasn't the big national sport that it used

548
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: to be. Because everybody's taste change and how we consume

549
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: sports changes. And when you have a whole college football

550
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: season where basically, oh so two teams are gonna get

551
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: a chance to play for the nut of the one

552
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six teams. Two teams, well, we're used

553
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: to that for a long time, but times change. Fans

554
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: don't want that anymore. Why am I gonna Why am

555
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: I into it to watch everything going on across the country.

556
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: Why do I care about USC and Ohio State when

557
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: I know whoever loses his game is out right? I mean,

558
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: it's it's getting to a point where you used to

559
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: watch all those games because it's what you did, right.

560
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: We used to go to the movies all the time

561
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: because it's what we did. Now we don't. Now we stream,

562
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: We go to movies not as often as we did

563
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: because life changes, time changes, how we consume sports changes,

564
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: and we consume college football differently now. So, yes, it's

565
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: the money, but it's also Hey, the entire nation is

566
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: more into it if we know that sixteen teams can

567
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: get it. I know for Syracuse now, I know I

568
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: have a shot to get in. Right last year, if

569
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: we had sixteen teams, I think Syracuse gets in the playoff,

570
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: right because the big win over Miami at the end,

571
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: other schools are saying, yes we can get in. If

572
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: you are a three loss team, you can potentially get

573
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: into the college football playoff. And that's great. Across the board,

574
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: all the games become more interesting. It's not that less games,

575
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: it's stupid. All games become more interesting because across the

576
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: country people are I'm keeping track of all men. I'm

577
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: so glad that so and so lost because they had

578
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: two losses. Now they have three. We have two. We

579
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: can move ahead of them, like if I'm watching Syracuse

580
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh and Syracuse winning, but I'm also keeping an

581
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: eye on Oregon and Washington because Washington's got two loss

582
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: and if they lose three, we'll move ahead of them.

583
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: This is how everybody thinks. Well, but that's it. The

584
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: games of November still have meaning this way, right. It's

585
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: like when they added another wildcard team in baseball. You

586
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: had people wring their hands a bit. Guess what. In

587
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: a lot of cities it became a hey, you know what,

588
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: if we claw anywhere near to five hundred, we've got

589
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: a puncher's chance of getting one of those slots, and

590
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: if our pitching lines up properly, we get one or

591
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: two timely hits. Guess what upset same thank of football,

592
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: right is final couple of weeks. Even if you're just

593
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: looking to play spoiler and take a team or two

594
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: out of playoff contention, you're still you have the rapt

595
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: attention of it for you on this expansion. Yeah, you

596
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: might have actually gotten a playoff Berth, So tell them

597
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: some half butts. In that other universe, you would have

598
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: had glory. Yeah, but Alabama would have gotten in, right,

599
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: Alabama would have gotten in. Wow. They just need to

600
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: shut up at this point. Right, But I mean you're

601
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: talking about but the amount of crying this Offseaton like

602
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: let it go. Oh no, Well, I told you last night.

603
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm sick of the SEC and the Big Ten saying

604
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: we're better than everybody. I'm sick of that crop. But

605
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's not good about DOV. They would have

606
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: gotten an extra team and they would have been happy.

607
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: You know, everybody would have been happy. They wouldn't have

608
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: been all this this this handwringing over what that final spot. Oh,

609
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: we can let some big teams in, because it's not

610
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,880

Speaker 1: like I still get all that money I signed last year. Right? Yeah. No,

683
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: they're doubling down an event that Aaron Rodgers doesn't show up,

684
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,640

686
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: gonna run the single way. That's gonna be just saying

687
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna have the tight ends in the backfield. They're

688
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna single wing offense is how they're gonna do it.

689
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

690
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,560

00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: But instead from Tonight's Nicks went over the Pacers play

736
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,080

Speaker 1: NBA back fifty years, not.

738
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,200

00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: You have?

Speaker 1: Not be I'm trusting in Zach Sarvin James Williams over

746
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: there that this will not be a flagrant.

747
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 3: No way, this will set playoff basketball back if they

748
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 3: if they deemed this a flaguer orange. It was a

749
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,520

753
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,040

Speaker 2: It looked like.

765
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: Honestly, it looked like the Caitlin Clark foul on Angel

766
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: Reese a little bit where where I'm gonna hold your

767
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: arms down and Rick Carlisle comes off the bench like

768
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan out of out of the locker room. Oh

769
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: look at this. Can't believe and I'm watching Rick car

770
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: Rick Carlisle makes it so easy to hate him. No, no,

771
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: it's so easy to But the difference in this fall

772
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: when Clark had that run in with Angel Reese, the

773
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: ball's down around her knees right, so the contact is there,

774
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: there's a little extra curricular shoved right off balance whatever,

775
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: and a big cell by Reese. Here's siakams he's hit

776
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: up top right. It's not hey, his arms are down

777
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: low and he's gathering the ball like he's going to

778
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: the to the hoop and the contact is up around

779
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: the shoulders and neck. And so do I want it

780
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: to be a flagrant. No, but we've seen lesser called

781
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: flavorants throughout this playoffs. So, uh, the commentary of you know,

782
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: I've been kissed hard in that that's not a flager,

783
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, we've watched a lot of playoff

784
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 1: basketball that's been a flagrant. Nine times out of ten.

785
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: It's at the stanchion and he's going to the rack

786
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: and the guy's up and around his shoulders and neck,

787
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: and yes he does pin their arms down, sure, but

788
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: it's from a different point in the process. And it

789
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: also it never puts it never puts him in danger. Right,

790
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: There was never anything where I looked as oh, he

791
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: could fall, because that's always a big thing and they

792
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: don't say it, but I'm pretty sure that's always the

793
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: tipping point for a flagrant foul. Is did this foul

794
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: put this player in danger of getting injured? And there

795
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: was no potential of getting injured on that play, right,

796
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: it was. It was a hard foul. We've seen it

797
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: before and and I'm you know, I'm glad they did this,

798
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: and it makes me think that maybe they'll officiate Game

799
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: six and let him continue to play like they did,

800
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: because hey, if they officiate the if they let the

801
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: teams be physical, Guess what, that's a Knicks advantage. That's

802
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: a huge Knicks advantage for games. What was funny was

803
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: listening to some of the radio call on the on

804
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: the drive up the good old four or five today

805
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: and the number of times they were arguing in the

806
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: like slap fighting over would that have been a fall, like, well,

807
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: he hit the shot, so it didn't affect the shot

808
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: like he found in the entire the entire series, I've

809
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: listened to them argue back and forth about about how, oh,

810
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: because the shot went in, there was no foul called,

811
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: and if there was a foul like they've been arguing.

812
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: Those guys have been arguing that the entire like that's

813
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: it's talk radio. It's like watching part of the interruption

814
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: when they just keep arguing back and forth about well,

815
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: I'll see, there's no there's no whistle there because the

816
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: ball went in. If there wasn't a made shot, there

817
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: would have been a whistle. Like the entire time driving

818
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: up listening to the game, like that's what they're saying.

819
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: You had that anticipation for the referee on every time

820
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: on ESPN radio it's there's a pout well, this is

821
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: where you and I are gonna do it. Oh, here

Speaker 1: we go again with a whole Is this a hey,

823
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: that's the way to kill time though?

824
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna do the Is that a follow

825
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:42,160

Speaker 1: in the next few years for play by play people

830
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: to do a game and to do a PTI type show,

831
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: a debate type show. Of course there is, Well we

832
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: should be the first. Of course you can do it

833
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,959
Speaker 1: doing it for ten years. Exit up, you're eleven of it, man,

834
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: Come on, exit swollen dumb. Maybe the Knicks had a

835
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: little bit of extra help to win tonight. We have

00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,319
