00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: my best friend Mike Harmon.

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: I'm not mad, uh huh, I'm just disappointed. Okay, Well,

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 3: it would be your team screwed me. I didn't tell

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 3: you to bet the n neck. No, they screwed me,

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: because tonight I tell you we should be right. I mean,

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: we still have Mets Dodgers, right, but we would have

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: had a game seven to where all of that. I'm fine,

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm fine. I would have been tested on a high level. Yeah,

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: to say, your Las thing, Rossberg poking the bear and

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: Mary just wondering what the hell she got herself into,

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: and instead they go down like a bunch of I

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 3: was gonna use a word.

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 4: I can't soft this soft ending.

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: This is why I said everything was great, because all

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: they had to do was get to Saturday, and if

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: they win Saturday, great, Monday is.

27
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: Going to be incredibly off the hook.

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: And if they lose, it's over.

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say it.

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: It's two days ago. It's like we're moving on. We

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: had other big things happening, as you said. We got

32
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Mets Dodgers. Man. Yeah, I know, it's it's Tom It's

33
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Edmund Bobblehead day, and we.

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: Don't don't bring his name up. See what I did there,

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: I just brought you back to a world of hurt.

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got all kinds of great stuff. And the

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: next day it was two days ago. I can't believe

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: people still remember it was so long ago.

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: Got hard to take him back to a world of hurt.

40
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: Oh well, I mean, look, it's it's a constant reminder.

41
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: We've got it on on four monitors. I might put

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: out of my iPad just so we have five. Yeah,

43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: you're gonna make him wear an l on all five?

44
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: All five. Yeah. So because there's no game tonight now,

45
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: we put Mets Dodgers on every single television in the.

46
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: Studio Mets owner Bubblehead night.

47
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 4: It is, Yeah, Tommy, yeah, you know, I know.

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling this to Harmon before he goes, and I

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: walk in Harmon, you know, like like he can't just

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: come in and say hi, right, Harmon's got to come

51
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: in and just be a jerk right away. It was

52
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: a story. I go, hey, what's up. I don't even

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: he goes, you know, it's Edmund Bobblehead night tonight, and

55
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: like I wanted to slug him, Like I think if

56
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: I hit you, nobody would say go because you know,

57
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: I didn't go to the World Series, not because of

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: show Hey o Tani, not because of Freddie Freeman, not

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: because of Mookie Bets. I didn't go because Tommy freaking

60
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: Edmund decides ten hits in ten runs, scored ten RBIs

61
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: in the NLCS. He gets a huge fifty million dollar

62
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: contract because a one seven day span where the guy

63
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: plays out of his shoes, And you wanted to bring

64
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: that up when you still had no idea how I

65
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: was after the knicks. I should have hit you. I

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: could have hit you. You could witfter the knicks. Well,

67
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I was finding because it was good.

68
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm convinced that if you need it had a videotape.

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: I did say, hello, we exchanged some slight plays.

70
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: First thing, you know, Edmund bubblehead. First thing he said out,

71
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: even because.

72
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: His kid was warming up to throw out the pitch.

73
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: Why is it the first thing you need to tell me.

74
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: You don't need to.

75
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: I know it's about a kid.

76
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 5: You could defense it's kind of important.

77
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: It's not.

78
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 5: It's not, it's an important detail.

79
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: Started it's important?

80
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: Is so uh so base?

81
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: I mean I was going to an elevated form of conversation. Hey,

82
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, and they're going to stick the needling you

83
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: here with the Edmund bobble.

84
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 5: There's also the fact that on your side, if HR

85
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 5: were to find out about you slugging him for that,

86
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: I think they would understand.

87
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no they would.

88
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: One time you could have knocked his lights out.

89
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh he said that. Yeah, this is open and shut.

90
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, mister Harmon, but we'll still validate your parking.

91
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: But don't you love that they had Edmund Bobblehead night

92
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: for when the Mets are in down.

93
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: We see what I've been going over the last like

94
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: three minutes, last three minutes, babble ahead night. Yeah, okay, yeah,

95
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: imagine I needed that's playing in the finals, so like

96
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: it's all coming up Smith. For over forty years, Tirereck's

Speaker 5: What time does the nickname sir?

106
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, you know, after after the Lakers completely flamed

107
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: out and threw up on themselves. Not once did I

108
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: say to you what times Laker game tonight? Not once

109
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: did I say that to you? Not one time?

110
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: Oh, winning championships isn't easy.

111
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: Not okay, listen, just because you last won five years

112
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: ago and we last won fifty two the little bit earlier,

113
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: just a little it earlier. It's not like jen Xers

114
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: are even gonna remember that. It was on the back

115
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: of the fish rap. What do you want? Yeah? Phil

116
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: Jackson won for US. Oh really yeah as a player, Yeah,

117
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: it was at seventy throwing some bonyolo. Did Phil win

118
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: when he took over?

119
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: Is it? No? No? No?

120
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: Did Phil coaching it?

121
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: No?

122
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: No, no, what he played for that when he took over?

123
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: It was one of the worst time ago, except for

124
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: it was one of the worst runs. Said, it was

125
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Uh so that's where we sit

126
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: right now. Yes, Mets Dodgers on the way, big Civil

127
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: War night here. But let me say, because since you

128
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: wanted to do the Knicks and we had the open

129
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: for the Knicks, and I'm like, maybe I'm stupid thinking, oh,

130
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 1: by the time we get to Monday night, the games

131
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: like two days. No, no, no, what what else are

132
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: you gonna talk?

133
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: I I'll tell you it is a big, big deal.

134
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

135
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: I honestly thought they were still playing. Here's maybe they

136
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: are somewhere kind of disappointed they're not.

137
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Maybe they're playing a scrimmage somewhere and they're teaching Karl

138
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns how to play defense. Maybe that's what's happened,

139
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: And there could be we got a great pickup game

140
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: going again. Lakers have been there for months. They got

141
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: to be running the court right now. Yeah, it's odd

142
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: and great. It was the fact that it.

143
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: Ends just like that with you still calm and level headed.

144
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Whatever. We didn't get this game seven. The whole thing is,

145
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm watching the game game six, and I'm going, this

146
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: is every reason why I wasn't excited, why they had

147
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: to just get to get Look, all they did was

148
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: buy themselves an extra couple of days and win game three.

149
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: They win game five because I'm watching everything come home

150
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: to roost. They can't guard the Pacers get open threes,

151
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: They're making open threes. They can't keep up with the

152
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: pace because they're terrible defensively. The Pacers have what five

153
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: fast break layups after Nick like, it was every It

154
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: was every reason why. I'm like all these people on

155
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: social media coming at me and go, oh, you know

156
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: what a real nick figure. No, I'm just realistic, man.

157
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: I know how it's gonna end, and you know what,

158
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: You'll be better off if you understand this is how

159
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: it's going to end. If they win, great, but understand

160
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: that they're not gonna get over and still as good

161
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: as I am right now, and I realize now I'm

162
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: getting little upset. I'm a little a little man, I'm

163
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: a little messed up, a little messed up here. No,

164
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm much more okay than I expected because I thought

165
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: this is how it's going to end. They clearly weren't

166
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: the better team in this round. Indiana was one hundred percent.

167
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Was the better team. Clearly they were. But the one

168
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: thing that keeps getting out every time I say I'm okay,

169
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: like I feel like I'm eighty five percent, but like

170
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: that fifteen percent from Game one, like that's never gonna

171
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: leave like that loss is and people understand that loss

172
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: is going to live for Everett Simmers under again, no

173
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: one in the history of the NBA ever blew a

174
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: loss like that nine points with fifty seconds left to go.

175
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: They only go back to ninety five. But I guarantee

176
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: you no one did it before, because before there was

177
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: no three. People didn't make threes like they No, no, no,

178
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: nobody ever had done that. I mean, that's never going

179
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: to go away. Just when I thought, well, eventually they'll

180
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: stop show on the Reggie Miller the choke saying no, no,

181
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: we're just gonna show Halliburton making that shot and the

182
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: choke sign, and that's gonna just absolutely bleep and live forever.

183
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: Like that's just like the Reggie Miller thing is he

184
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: makes the shots, the three in a row in like

185
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: eight and nine seconds, eight point nine seconds and the

186
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: choke sign. Okay and nope, the same thing here. He

187
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: makes the shot then does the choke sign, and that's

188
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: what I did. Like that is never going away. Like

189
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: that is one of those things where it tags you

190
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: as a fan and you're like, boom, well I got it.

191
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, you mean I can't remove the stinger Nope,

192
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: but stays in you. It's like when they track you

193
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: in one of those sci fi movies and the trackers stay.

194
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: You can't even cut it out with a knife. I

195
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: gotta cut this out. They know where we are. That's

196
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: how they're following us. Cut it out, use a knife. No,

197
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: there's no, you can't cut that out because that loss

198
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: never goes away. Now, last year losing when everybody got

199
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: hurt and Nenmark hits the miracle three, Okay, you know what,

200
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: I could let that go. I mean obviously, it's but

201
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: this this one that this stays in. This is like

202
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: in my bloodstream. Now, it's like eventually it's gonna activate

203
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: because I have I've gotten I gotten to my blood

204
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: cells now, and I mean it's like I'm a radioactive

205
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: spider like that that never leaves. That fifteen percent is

206
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: always gonna be there. I just have to manage it

207
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: now for the rest of my life. Well, depending on

208
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: which message board thread you read, that might be real.

209
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 3: Anyway, Moving on the idea I'm cutting out, you just

210
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 3: can't cut But it got to the point where the

211
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: stat that you cited, the layups and fast breaks off

212
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 3: made baskets over ran the what was it, thirty to

213
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 3: ten or thirty to twelve fast break margin overall because

214
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: the incredulity of how are you falling asleep that poorly

215
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: after a made basket to where you don't have the

216
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: two seconds to start retreating.

217
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: You were show hal Tani against the Yankees falling asleep

218
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: after made baskets like you are you are them?

219
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: And hey, I'm out man, I'm tough to hit two

220
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 5: home runs.

221
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: I Judge gave two runs and he gave you what

222
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: you came though. Now the other Max month see and now,

223
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: So it helps to not dwell on it with have

224
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: anything like you know, I'm not just gonna sit home

225
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: and watch cable television and you know, just be like

226
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: Ben Stiller at the end of Dodgeball, I'm just gonna

227
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: stay eating.

228
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 4: Hey, you want something for the ride home? Here you

229
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: go my milkshake, rings on the bulls.

230
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, was that you Saturday night?

231
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: Beyond?

232
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: As far as you know, I get a chicken. But

233
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: I will say that because now moving on, right, like

234
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: what like what's next here? And I'm not knee jerk,

235
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm not prisoner of the moment, but it's clear and

236
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: I've never seen a team in the Eastern Conference finals

237
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: that has had so many flaws exposed, Like you get to, okay,

238
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: we just missed. Well, retool for next year. Like you

239
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: could see that the Knicks were not near to what

240
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: the Pacers were, any team with any kind of depth,

241
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: And you get late in the playoffs and look at

242
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: what they did. Right, They're rolling guys off the bench,

243
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: and Matherin has a couple of incredible games, mccatton like

244
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: everybody's contributing, and the pace was just killing you. And

245
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: the bottom line is this, The Knicks defense was awful, right,

246
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: it was absolutely awful, And no matter how you cut

247
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: it up, you can't have Brunson and Towns playing at

248
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: the same time. Right, that's what's killed the Knicks because

249
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: Towns is a very bad defensive player. Brunson's bad too,

250
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: but Brunson's the franchise, right, Brunson's offensively is one of

251
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: the top five players in all of the NBA, right,

252
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: so he stays Towns the whole thing. The experience with

253
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns, it was fine, but it wasn't quite

254
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: what was expected. And I said this all through the

255
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: series that if they lose this, this is gonna be

256
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns in one year and done with the Knicks,

257
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: simply because they're gonna need some sort of adjustment to

258
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: get more athletic, to get better defensively, to take the

259
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: pressure off of Jalen Brunson, and he's the guy that's

260
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna bring the most back in turn, because Karl Anthony

261
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: Towlens is a really talented player, right, really, but that

262
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: combination of him and Brunson it's just not gonna work. Right,

263
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: So that's why they had to put Mitchell Robinson in

264
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: the starting lineup. So this offseason he's gonna be dangled

265
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: out there and if the fit was great, I would say, well,

266
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: they'll figure things out and go. But you already have

267
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: anunobian Bridges who are really good perimeter defenders, and still

268
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: the Knicks looked like they were running in mud the

269
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: entire time because you need that big guy. You need

270
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: that big download that can be athletic, that can help

271
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: take the pressure off, and you just can't. You simply

272
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: just can't have both of them in the lineup at

273
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: the same time. Brunch is not going anywhere. So it's

274
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: gonna be talent, whether it is Yannis, whether it's somebody else,

275
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: whether it's a trade for a more athletic big or

276
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: or a playmaking forward and and a lesser role player

277
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: because you need other guys off the bench. But I'll

278
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: tell you what if I go to Vegas right now

279
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: but all my chips middle and say this is how

280
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: the Knicks fix it. Tip stays here. They are, they

281
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: weren't the best team. They gotta get better. They gotta

282
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: break up the big five that they have. And Town's

283
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: is gonna bring the most in return. He's gonna get

284
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: Delta in the offseason. And that's what the Knicks are

285
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna bring in a playmaking forward. Someone's gonna be able

286
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: to be better down low potentially somebody off the bench,

287
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: which is you know, that's something you could do in

288
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: free agency, But Karl Anthony Towns is gonna be the

289
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: big ticket moved to bring mostly what they need.

290
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: He's gonna be a really good franchise player for a

291
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: bottom rolling squad because you're gonna get a bunch of

292
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: parts and a would be superstar in return, because all

293
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: of the hey, he's gonna go to Milwaukee. If I'm Milwaukee,

294
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna reset with that. Let me give me, give

295
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 3: me a guy that's a two way threat in every

296
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 3: way shape and for him, and they honest and yeah,

297
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 3: let's bring back a guy that is a defensive liability

298
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: that no, and we're old and we're gonna bring in

299
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 3: a guy.

300
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: No, this does not work.

301
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: So he's gonna end up in the nether region for

302
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: one of these top up and coming guys that hasn't

303
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: gotten his second deal yet, plus a couple other parts.

304
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 3: Because depth is the name of the game here. And

305
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 3: as much as you may like the offensive game and

306
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 3: his ability at times like that twenty point fourth quarter

307
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 3: is as good as it gets, that's too sporadic, and

308
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 3: the inability to close out on the perimeter absolutely got

309
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: exposed time and time and time again.

310
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,760

Speaker 1: runner on first, nobody out. Maybe we get to four

326
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: in this inning. That could happen.

327
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 5: On it could happen this guy. I mean, if he

328
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 5: wasn't a met he would in the ground. That didn't

329
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 5: do a double play.

330
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,120

00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,480

363
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: let me just say what Mike Harmon alluded to a

364
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: few moments ago. Okay, I am not surprised. We talked

365
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: about this a couple of weeks ago. I am not surprised. Right,

366
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: There's lots of different things. But the first thing I

367
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: will tell you is this, Right before you want to

368
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: dive into the roster and defense and Karl Anthony Towns,

369
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: and before you want to dive into and Who's Next

370
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: and all the stuff, all the 'ren our test and

371
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: metal World pieces side, I want to be that I'm

372
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: ready for the smoke. Right, What a campaign, dude. I'll

373
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: tell you the most fun well, the most fun thing

374
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: today was watching the Rockies win a series the second

375
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: most fun thing today was watching the number of people

376
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: who trended because fans were saying, what if this guy

377
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: was the knicks next head coach? Right, here's metal World peace,

378
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: here's Rick Patino. Come on, do what you do?

379
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: Do it? Doc Rivers is out there.

380
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: Don't don't you? Don't you say that? Come on, man, that.

381
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: That would be the greatest thing for the man for

382
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: the furthering of the show during the long arduous run

383
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: that is the NBA regular season, to be able to

384
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: chronicle that on a day to day basis.

385
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: At night, come on, I know you and I are

386
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: at Odds Frostburg with the Mets Dodgers coming up in

387
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: a few minutes. That's over the line, man that I

388
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't wish Doc Rivers on you. I wouldn't risk Doc

389
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: Rivers on any but I'm pretty I wouldn't wish Doc

390
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: Rivers on the White Sox. That's how much I wouldn't

391
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: wish Doc Rivers on anybody.

392
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 3: You know what?

393
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: He might actually he got it.

394
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: Although Venable is doing a pretty good job with a

395
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: bad roster, and they at least come out and fight

396
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: these days.

397
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: But us fault fault, that's all his fall bring the

398
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: hometown kid, Doc Rivers home. Come on, let's go before

399
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: before you get to everything. There is a really there's

400
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: a really easy way that I think people are just

401
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: blowing past, which is what when? And you know why

402
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: the Knicks fired Tibbs today after their greatest season in

403
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Think for a second, right outside, you know,

404
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: big NBA fans, we all watch Eastern Conference Finals. Yes,

405
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: the Knicks lost. It was really difficult. Their their flaws

406
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: were all exposed. But just think about being around the

407
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: Knicks for the last couple of days with this right,

408
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: the Knicks lose and it is heartbreaking. And not only

409
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: that they are not over a Game one that is

410
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: going down in the annals of NBA history as the

411
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: biggest blown loss in the history of the game. I

412
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: can't I can't overstate that enough. The Knicks loss Game one,

413
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: blowing a lead in the final minute that nobody in

414
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: the history of the game is blown. Right, we went

415
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: back and looked the record fourteen hundred and fourteen wins

416
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: and no losses and when the NBA was taken keeping

417
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: track of this right from the mid nineties, right, fourteen

418
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: fourteen to zero with a nine point lead, and fifty

419
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: seconds left to go on regulation. And you know what,

420
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, a team has never blown a lead like

421
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: that even before that, because teams didn't hit threes for

422
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: the for the early part of the nineties and the eighties,

423
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: they didn't take that many shots. Before that, there was

424
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: no three point shot. So I guarantee you nobody in

425
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: the one hundred some odd years since since Nasmith said, hey,

426
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: cut the holes out of the peach basket, eased to

427
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: get the basketball back. Since that, no one has blown

428
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: a lead this decade. CLO. So yeah, this is an

429
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: all time worst loss in the NBA. This is a

430
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: loss that stays with the team and franchise forever. It's

431
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller on steroids because this was Hey, at least

432
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: the Knicks won that series at Reggie Miller made the

433
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: choke sign. This was blowing Game one watching Halliburton's miracle

434
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: shot fall doing the choke sign. It is an all

435
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: time embarrassing Game one and series loss for the Knicks.

436
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: You're naive if you think a team can just sit

437
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: there and say, well, we'll get him next year. We

438
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: didn't have a good roster. The Pacers were a better team. No,

439
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: some losses you can't come back from because they're just

440
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: that bad. Not all losses are created equal. Some losses

441
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: are worse than others. Some losses make the worst losses

442
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: look like a kid given out candy. This was one

443
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: of those Game one We've never seen it before, a

444
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: team has never had that happen. When something like that happens,

445
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: you can't just bring the guys back next year. You

446
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: can't just say, okay, roll it back, we'll make some

447
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: There needs to be repercussions. There needs to be fall up.

448
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: We told you after Game one if they lose this series,

449
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: the guys are gonna look at is gonna be Tibbs

450
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: and Karl Anthony Towns? And who are the guys? TIBs

451
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: and Karl Anthony Towns? All the Karl Anthony Towns criticism

452
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: the last few days, and now Tibbs gets fired today.

453
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes a loss is just so bad you can't bring

454
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: Tibbs back because he's a memory and a reminder, an

455
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: every day walking institution of we blew that lead against

456
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: the Pacers, or we're gonna blow it again. You're gonna

457
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: see this in the playoffs every time a team is

458
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: up nine with a minute left to go. Reggie Miller's

459
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: gonna say, remember the Pacers next in twenty twenty five.

460
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller's gonna be ninety eight years old, that like

461
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: thirty years from now, and it's gonna be saying, remember

462
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: when the Pacers did it back in twenty five with

463
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Hella Burton. That's exactly how it's gonna go. You can't

464
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: bring him back. That's why I'm not surprised at all.

465
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: The TIBs got fired because this loss and then the

466
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: series loss was just so bad you have to start

467
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: anew You have to start and say, Okay, we gotta

468
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: move away from this because this is just gonna hang

469
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: over the franchise. I mean it's gonna hang over the

470
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: franchise enough already. But bringing back the same cast of characters,

471
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: it's like a cloud, like the cloud that follows pig Pen,

472
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: you know in the in the Peanuts, Like that's what's

473
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: gonna happen. And that's why the Knicks had no choice,

474
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: and I understand it. I'm not surprised with the fire

475
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: and Tims because some losses are just so bad you

476
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: have to move on and start new, and this is

477
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: one of those losses.

478
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: I like that you said and the peanuts kind of

479
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: like you were going, it's not said, not just peanuts,

480
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: the peanuts.

481
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: Look, it's it's the thing we've.

482
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 3: Talked about for month is that you had eighty two

483
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: games to try to see what else was on the

484
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: roster instead of grinding out win in game fifty five, right,

485
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: fifty seven whatever. Middle of the season, Hey, you play

486
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 3: forty two. Well, at no point did you develop continuity.

487
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: We saw it exacerbated when Brunson had to leave a

488
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: game for a short period with an injury.

489
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: It was like, they look absolutely lost. Right.

490
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 3: You had several turnovers in a row, a couple of

491
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: shot clock violations, a lot of pointing as if it

492
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: was the Spider Man meme come to life.

493
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: No continuity there.

494
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: And so when all of a sudden you get to

495
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs and it's like, all right, we need some depth.

496
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: Cat picked up his requisite too, silly foles early, so

497
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: we need to go to the bench. Oh wait, now

498
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: we can't use him because he can't play defense and

499
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: he's in foul trouble. All of those things to say,

500
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: it's an imperfectly structured roster. And we've been clear about

501
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: that talking about that the whole season for those that

502
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 3: live and die by Jason's Knicks fandom and Mets fandom,

503
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: but Knicks fandom, We appreciate you being part of the show.

504
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: That means you listen a lot if you get triggered

505
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: by it, So thank you. Just stay with us because

506
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: it's gonna it's gonna be a wild off season. But

507
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: for this move, you say, hey, congratulations on a job done.

508
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 3: Here's a giant pile of money to go out the door,

509
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: and you try to figure out what's next. The roster

510
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: is going to go through an overhaul, and Rose is

511
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 3: certainly on the under the microscope here as to what

512
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: kind of depth and where we're looking at for the

513
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: NBA and things changing with these two teams that'll square

514
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: off starting Thursday, when you're running ten sometimes eleven deep

515
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 3: right and fast break points and ability to get out

516
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: of that versus all right, slow the ball down and

517
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 3: take nothing from brunts, and you can decide whether you

518
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: want him on your top five in the game today.

519
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: Jason put that pull question out on air last week.

520
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: But it's just that idea of all right, how do

521
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: you restructure this and what's the direction going forward? And

522
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 3: with Thibodeaux as the face, the gruff, non responsive in

523
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: many ways coach of this squad in New York. That's

524
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: just not gonna stand right. The expectation really went through

525
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: the roof after beating the hated Celtics, and that game

526
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: one loss will forever stain whatever legacy. Now Cat got

527
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: him fired twice so that we.

528
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: Should remember that.

529
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: It's like this guy again, all right, and you know

530
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: all all of the things we've talked about. You know,

531
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: you can only hide him so long, and defensively, that

532
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: was the reason he didn't fit with what Minnesota was

533
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 3: trying to do. And you thought you'd be able to

534
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: piece it together. But again, if you're only gonna run

535
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: six seven deep and you don't have big men on

536
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: the bench to spell adequately, uh, and you can only

537
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 3: cover up defensive lacking uh issues by Brunson and Cat

538
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: so long before you're exposed.

539
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: And Indiana did it.

540
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: So now it's to the next iteration of the Knicks.

541
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: And it was fun watching all the names. As you said,

542
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 3: the belly odds great. The betting odds had I think.

543
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: Thirty five guys on it. Oh yeah, yeah, freight, where

544
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: we're done? Where was Stephen A. Smith. Where where was

545
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: he was he in the thing? Take no hold on

546
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: a second, Let.

547
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 5: Me way behind, Doc Rivers.

548
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: Oh he is no but look, but just think about

549
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: it because normally we see it with players.

550
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 2: Right.

551
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Usually when when a manager oversees a collapse and a

552
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: team loses, it's a we collapsed over the course of

553
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: the end of the regular season. We collapsed in the playoffs,

554
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: and that's why coaches get fired. This is a one

555
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: series thing, but it had We've seen it. Sometimes you

556
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: don't realize you see it, but you do. I'll go

557
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: back to last year in Major League Baseball, right, so

558
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: let's me bring up pee A Lonzo's home run. Devin

559
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Williams one of the best closers of Major League right,

560
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: one of the best. Now, he's hurt a little bit

561
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: last year, but guy gave up one home run all season.

562
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: He is as lights out a closer as there was. Right, fastball,

563
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: change up, that's all you needed, right, That's all Marianna

564
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: Rivera needed. But he gives up the big home run

565
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: to Alonso in the ninth inning of a game. The

566
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Brewers had a two to nothing lead and they were

567
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: moving on to the NLDS and they gave up four

568
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: runs in the inning and they lost. Sometimes a loss

569
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: is so bad you couldn't bring him back, right, You

570
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: couldn't bring Devin Williams back. You couldn't bring the You

571
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: couldn't bring the guy back because it's just the loss

572
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: against the Mets would hang over. You don't know, is

573
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: he's still gonna be the same guy. He's gonna be

574
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: thinking about that loss. It's a daily reminder of the

575
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: home run because that home run was such a big deal.

576
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't just hey, he gave up a home run.

577
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: They lost a game. This was ninth inning. Man, come in,

578
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: shut the door. It's a two run lead. It was

579
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: so bad the Brewers had to move on from him. Right.

580
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: It's not like he wanted a big contract. It's not

581
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: like there was a situation where he's gonna hit free

582
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: agency or where the Brewers knew we can't go, we

583
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: can't move on with him, and we have to deal him.

584
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: So they traded him to the Yankees. Right. I mean,

585
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: that's that's really why you It happens with players mostly

586
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: guys at miss field goals. Guys that give up big

587
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: home runs, got guys that that that melt down in

588
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: a pitching situation, right when when you Darvish couldn't come

589
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: back to the Dodgers after that big World Series melt

590
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: down and allegedly was tipping pitches like that's it, Like,

591
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: you can't come back after this. Usually it's players, but

592
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: this was such a big deal and and you know

593
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: where are you gonna go? You can't bring the head

594
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: coach back because that's too much a reminder of how

595
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: bad things were. And you just need a fresh start,

596
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: no matter who it is. You'd a fresh start with

597
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: this team and go forward because it's young, you're building.

598
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: And again that's why I'm not surprised at all that

599
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: this happened.

600
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: It's the negative part of being the face of the franchise.

601
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: They become the face of the franchise, futility in fifty

602
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: two years, the foff as it were.

603
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 5: Jason all that said, he got fired because the nick sucked.

604
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: The stop we were there were three teams left and

605
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: we were one of them. We were in the final three.

606
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 5: We're going to the finals, and we told you no, no, no,

607
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 5: you got to you're not getting past the pacers.

608
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: All right ready, stephen A is sixty to one sixty

609
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: to one. Doc Rivers, Really, he's not on.

610
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 3: The short list. I'm looking at here. I got Johnny

611
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: Bright from the She's not the favorite.

612
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 5: Find a new list.

613
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: Wait, stephen A. Smith has shorter odds than Doc Rivers. No,

614
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: at least from Bravada what they had put up earlier then.

615
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they also had Patrick Ewing at plus

616
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: nine point fifty with Sam Cassel and Mike Budenolzer. Oh wow, okay,

617
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: all right, all right, Mark Jackson at fourteen to one.

618
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Jeff Van Gundy return at twenty five to one.

619
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: Where's stephen A? What do you think of the What

620
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: do you think of the Knicks performance tonight? You know,

621
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: they're they're three and one, their first loss of the season.

622
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: It was appalling. It was atrocious. It was depressing. It

623
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: was disgusting, distressing, it was frightful. It was ghastly. It

624
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: was horrifying. It was shocking. It was ugly. It was unpleasy.

625
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: It was abominable. It was repulsive, it was unsightly, it

626
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: was grungey, it was deplorable like that. I mean, I

627
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: want to see that, just to see the post game Prescott.

628
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: I think that's also how he described the press release

629
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: in which they announced this instead of having the guts

630
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: to do it personally.

631
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: So I'm telling you reason number one. That's why. Sometimes

632
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: there's sauces. You just can't come back from that.

633
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 5: And they sucked.

634
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: You know what.

635
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: You know what, Crosberg, Your Lakers were watching the playoffs

636
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: for like a month on Magic Johnson's yacht before the

637
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Knicks got eliminated.

638
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 5: Sometimes we got to take a year off.

639
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

Speaker 2: pm Pacific.

642
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Game one of the NBA files the Thunder in control,

643
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: but the Pacers slowly cutting into their lead throughout the

644
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: second half a big run. They trail the Thunder right

645
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: now one ten to one oh nine, with twenty two

646
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: and a half seconds left to go. The most previous

647
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: play is being reviewed after a miss by the Thunder.

648
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam goes for the ball and he grabs it

649
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: but is bumped into it, or it is going for

650
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: it with another Thunder player and Siakam grabs it but

651
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: he falls out of bounds. He screams for a foul

652
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: and Rick Carlyle they went looked the replay called the

653
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: time out wants them to look at it. So they're

654
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: looking at this because you could see Carlyle say that's

655
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: a foul. That's a blanket foul. Man. You see him saying,

656
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: I've seen the replay a few times. This is not

657
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: a foul, right, it's it's it's it's not it's not

658
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: a foul, right you you watch them, but both of

659
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: them are going for the ball, right, you got you got?

660
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: Wallace is going for it. Saams going for it. And

661
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: Wallace just puts his arm out and swats the ball

662
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: when already has it, doesn't touch him, doesn't touch him,

663
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: and Siakam just loses his balance and goes out of bounds.

664
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: I I don't know how you call this a foul.

665
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: I really don't he get called it at the beginning

666
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: of the play when he grabs his wrist to keep

667
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: him underneath the basket. Listen all the way back that

668
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: physicality going into the corner. But the prior couple of

669
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: possessions for Indiana, it was like, unless you drew blood,

670
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: you were not getting a phone call.

671
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. Yeah, they're definitely like there, definitely, even

672
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: though both it feels weird because it's like both teams

673
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: have been to the free throw line a ton in

674
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, but it feels it also feels like

675
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: they're letting them play. It's a it's a weird thing

676
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: going on right now. It's like, oh, go to the

677
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: free throw line, but they're letting them play. We're gonna

678
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: get the call right now. Again, I'd be really surprised

679
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: if if it gets reversed, but hey, you never know.

680
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: It is the NBA Finals and and uh, you know,

681
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: seven game series is great, but it looks like they

682
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: are keeping the call as is. Yes, Thunder Thunder fans

683
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: are celebrating Siakam was the last one to touch it,

684
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: and honestly, it's the right call, right unsuccessful challenge. I

685
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: get why they did it right, They had to do it,

686
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: and you know, but here's the thing is, you know,

687
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: when when when players make that move and and and

688
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: you get caught up in a moment of hey, this

689
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: is our you know you kind of had to do

690
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: it there, but wow, sometimes you're a player, you can't

691
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: just say challenge, challenge, challenge. You have to understand that, well,

692
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: we got to make sure it's the right play, and

693
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, quite simply, this was a ball that went

694
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: out of bounds, and the officials make the right call

695
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: with the Thunder.

696
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 3: Well rise to the level, Jason, and the answer is

697
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 3: there's contact, but is it enough? The answer is no,

698
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: and Tyre's Halliburton.

699
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, Oklahoma City misses a shot.

700
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: The rebound goes to Indiana. Indiana dribbles down court. They

701
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: look like they're in trouble. They look like they're in

702
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: trouble because Halliburton can't penetrate. He finally finds his way

703
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: free on the right side and he puts up a

704
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: fifteen footer that falls. It gives the Pacers the lead.

705
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: They're checking to see if there's time left on the clock.

706
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: Like Halliburton, there's four seconds left. He's being guarded at

707
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: mid court and he steps in the steps inside the

708
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: three point line and he hits a shot. And they're

709
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: looking to see how much time is left on the

710
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: clock for the Oklahoma City Thunder. It looks like looks

711
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: like three tenths of a second, so they're gonna get

712
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: to inbound the basketball. But my goodness, man, this this

713
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers team just will not die in a night

714
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: where Halliburton has had a game where he's only got

715
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: fourteen points. This really has been something. This has been

716
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: along the lines with everything the Pacers have done, the

717
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: big comebacks in the first round, beating the Cavs, the

718
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: way they did Game one against the Knicks, like this

719
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: is kind of what the Pacers do. And Halliburton hits

720
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: the big shot when it looked like they were in

721
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: trouble and things were gonna go absolutely south of the Pacers,

722
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,239
Speaker 1: and now it looks like they're gonna win Game one,

723
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: one eleven ten. So does he get to go and

724
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: steal the clutch trophy from your guy Brunson or what?

725
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 6: Oh?

726
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you can call him any much. I

727
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: don't think he'll call him over rated. I don't think

728
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: any players do that.

729
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 3: I told you he had the extra motivation from having

730
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: that attempt to go snatch the Larry Bird Trophy and

731
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 3: then Pascal Siakam's name being announced, so you know, motivation

732
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 3: for the next round. But once again, you hang around

733
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 3: second or in the fourth quarter six of ten from

734
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 3: three point range? Are the Pacers the Thunder zero for five?

735
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: SGA misses that big shot on the Thunder's last possession

736
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: for Haliburton fourteen ten and six and a plus twelve.

737
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: What a disaster this is gonna be for the thunder

738
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: What an absolute disaster. Game one, they control it most

739
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: of the way.

740
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 7: It sounds like the next series game s yeah it

741
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 7: this looks like the next SGAA ever recover eight seven

742
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 7: seven SGA playing the role of Jalen Brunson right with

743
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 7: thirty eight points and ah, you don't really get what

744
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 7: you need out of Jalen Williams and chet Holm, grind

745
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 7: and Alf, but you get a couple of other performances.

746
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: And here come the pacers who just absolutely wear them down.

747
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: They hit their threes right eighteen for thirty nine from

748
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: three point range. It's what keeps them in this game.

749
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: And Halliburton again hits a shot in which it looked

750
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: like he was absolutely stuck. And you know, I gotta

751
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: say the the calm, the grace under pressure, under fire

752
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: that Halliburton has is just I can't get over it.

753
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: Where there's plays that other players, other clutch players would

754
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: absolutely melt and panic and look for a ball, look

755
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: for a pass. He just finds a way, finds a

756
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: little bit of space and hits a shot We've seen

757
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: him do a time after time after time. I give

758
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: him all the credit in the world. And they're gonna

759
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: win a game that I didn't think they could win again.

760
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: One eleven, one ten. Right now, three tenths of a

761
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: second left to go, Oklahoma City will inbound the basketball

762
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: from the PACER's side, so they get a chance for

763
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: one last alley oop tip, some kind of quick toss up.

764
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: But it looks like this is going to mean other

765
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: than a miracle, and it seems like the Pacers have

766
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: the run on miracles. This is gonna wind up being

767
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: a Pacers stealing Game one from the Thunder.

768
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: Hey run that Gordon play run yeah Gordon. Oh, so

769
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: that one that worked against us, just exactly what they

770
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: kind of tried to do. But the Pacers take the

771
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 3: one eleven, one ten victory as the inbound gets tipped away. Jason,

772
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 3: you know, we watched the first half and with the turnovers,

773
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 3: final turnover count twenty four to six. But one of

774
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 3: the things we were talking about the series was that

775
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: you do have a bunch of defenders, you do have depth.

776
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 3: For Indiana, they kept Oklahoma City. They shot under forty

777
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 3: percent for the game. They shot under forty percent for

778
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: the game. Did not take care of the basketball with

779
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: all the turnovers that they caused. Good transition defense by

780
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 3: the pacer, something you got used to seeing against the Knicks.

781
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: So they go into OKC and they steal one. Man,

782
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: did they just just take it? This is a very

783
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: violent fashion.

784
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: This is just disaster. It's absolute disaster for Oklahoma City.

785
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: Like they get a little lost on the final play,

786
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: Like Halliburton kind of slides to the side and Wallace

787
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: is on him, and and Caruso kind of comes up

788
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 1: leaves Seakam because he doesn't want to have that little

789
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: slide past to Seakam.

790
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 3: But then yeah, he retreats back instead. Yeah, yeah, not recognize.

791
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: I guess with the clock because if he passed at Sam,

792
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: they don't have a they don't have time. Yeah, and

793
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 3: Halliburton hit. Halliburton hits the shot.

794
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: And I will say this because I know you don't

795
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: want to foul, but wow, in a game in which

796
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: in which they were letting you play down the stretch,

797
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: Wallace was was given Halliburton way too much room, Like

798
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: you gotta know you gotta have that body clock, knowing

799
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: how much time is left, knowing that I gotta be

800
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: close to him because he's not going to drive past

801
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: me and get to the hoop. That's not gonna happen.

802
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: And he definitely, you know, he gave him a a

803
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: little bit too much rooms. He gets up a clean shot.

804
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, Halliburton makes the play. But the

805
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: one thing I will say is that man Wallace kind

806
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: of gave him a little bit too much room there.

807
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: Let him go up with a clean shot. Man Ada

808
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: was something steady, hack and stick it.

809
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 5: You are going to apologize to Tyres Haliburton?

810
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: Am I gonna apologize what I say? He got?

811
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 5: He got lucky last round?

812
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: When did what you did? I say these things had? Yes?

813
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 3: Game one?

814
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: Come that shot?

815
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 5: This is it? Is it?

816
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 7: Really?

817
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: Luck? Come on the end of games one? Bounced it

818
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: off the back, bounces off the back of the rim,

819
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: up in the air and back through. No, that's long.

820
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 5: You want the face of the league forget sgsluck.

821
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. Now now it's Haliburton who's making all

822
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: Did you see the metal stand they just put up

823
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: to win a game end of regulation or ot Since

824
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven, Lebron James with eight shots and then

825
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: tied with five are Reggie Miller and now Tyree's Halliburton.

826
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 3: See how quickly they got that stat together, Like we said,

827
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 3: my and research staffs get it done.

828
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 5: Like how big of an underdog were the Pacers today?

829
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: They were nine and a half for ten.

830
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, depending on when you you started to dive in

831
00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 3: I think it got out to ten and a half

832
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 3: as you got closer to tip off, a little bit

833
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: of late money and big bets coming in on OKC

834
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: to take care of business at home, which they they

835
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: did for three quarters.

836
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 5: Haliburton is a dog.

837
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you want to look, you want

838
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: to look at something and a couple of keys to

839
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: this game. Right, the Halliburton shot is insane, and we're

840
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna continue to talk about that. But you

841
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: look at the rebounding advantage the Pacers had. They had

842
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: four starters with at least nine rebounds in the game, right,

843
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: they had a fifty six to thirty nine rebound advantage,

844
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: and and yeah, the twenty four to six turnover advantage.

845
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: But they didn't turn those twenty four turnovers into enough

846
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: points or was it eleven points off? The twelve points

847
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: off of twenty four turnovers? Like that's why this is

848
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: an as. This is just a disaster for the Thunder.

849
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: Like it's game one. We're here, we're at home, we're

850
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: the better team, we have the MVP, we play better defense,

851
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: we control the entire first half, and then we just

852
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: get law in the second half. Whether because this would

853
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: not like the Pacers had some crazy comeback where they

854
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: hit all of their threes. No, they hit a bunch

855
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: of threes like they normally do. But you know, eighteen

856
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: out of thirty nine. Okay, you know it's it's you know,

857
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: it's forty five percent of your threes, all right, But

858
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: this was still a game where it's not like the Thunder.

859
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: It stopped scoring. It's not like the Thunder. It all

860
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden hit the skids and and somehow the

861
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the Pacers just do this. Man, when you

862
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: think they're dead, they find a way to stay in

863
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: it at the end all three rounds of the playoffs.

864
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: Like it's not like when Halliburton's got the ball, I'm

865
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: saying to myself, I'm talking. I'm saying, he's gonna hit

866
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,959
Speaker 1: this shot. He's gonna hit wherever it is, He's gonna

867
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: put it out. It's gonna it's gonna bounce off the

868
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: front of the rim, and then it's gonna bounce off

869
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: of somebody's head, and then a bird is gonna fly

870
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: by and it's gonna hit the bird. It's gonna fall

871
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: through the bottom of the net, and the Pacers are

872
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: gonna win.

873
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 3: You're picturing, Neil what they do Michael Jordan, Larry Bird

874
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 3: Horse commercials from McDonald's right.

875
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: I was actually the yeah, no, I was thinking more

876
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: than the Danny Rojas the penalty when he when he wow, okay,

877
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: they hit the dog on the pedal. Well you know,

878
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's is this is what the pacers

879
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: do that they it's the pacers doing pacer things. Okay, okay, sorry, good.

880
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: Here's how it sounded just a couple of moments ago.

881
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: Tyre's Halliburton's game winner for the Pacers. Patis will a

882
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: chance to win it, final seconds, no foul, so Halliburton looking,

883
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: Halliburton driving, pulls off jump shots with three tons for

884
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: the second remating time out. Okay, see Tyrens Halliburton does

885
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: it again. Mike Bring ESPN ABC on the call. Disappointing

886
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: Burton shot, uh, where's the bang? Bang?

887
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 5: Where's the title for a shot like that?

888
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: No, I think you only use bangs for the Knicks.

889
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I think it's any he's.

890
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 7: Getting paid by it. He's not a Knick's broadcast at

891
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 7: bangs and Jason that.

892
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: Okay, you want to know, No, I don't. I'll tell you.

893
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: I will tell you probably why it wasn't a bang

894
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: or a double bang or a triple bank. I'll tell

895
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: you why why. I'm gonna tell you, tell you what?

896
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 3: Tell me why?

897
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: Generally tell me why? Why don't you go watch Michael CONFORDO.

898
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: It's the first hit he's had as a Dodger. Again,

899
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: go watch it, eighth inning hit. I've been kicked off.

900
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 7: They now think he's a bot and he's looked at

901
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 7: it so frequently.

902
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: Generally, generally with play by play guys, their best calls

903
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: like this come when it's the home team. If this

904
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: was if they were at home and Halliburton hit that shot,

905
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: or if it was the Thunder hit that shot, it

906
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: would have been a bang or a double bang. But

907
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: on the road, when the crowd is silent, it's just

908
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: a weird energy, so I think, and you feed off

909
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: the crowd in that situation. You got to create your

910
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: own energy. So I think that's more why he didn't

911
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: use a banger double bank. Who's the home team doing it?

912
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 3: He would have done it, or he came over the

913
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 3: top and said Halliburton says, banke you to the Thunder.

914
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: Seven more made threes than the Thunder tonight, six fewer

915
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 3: free throws. I'll take that trade all day long. Only

916
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 3: eleven points scored off of all of those turnovers.

917
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: The pacers are doing pacers things like that was I

918
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: can't get over I can't get over it, man, I

919
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: mean this is a it's a tough one man, all

920
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden Game two is the NBA Finals for

921
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: the Thunder. Game two is the NBA Finals because the

922
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: PA they continue to do what they've done. They outscore

923
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: the Thunder thirty five twenty five in the fourth quarter,

924
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: an amazing ending to an NBA Finals game.
