1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntire.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: What is up?

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Wednesday,

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 3: May the seventh, Folks, this is why you don't bet

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: on the NBA playoffs. Oh my freaking goodness, another crazy

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: night in the Association. They're all crazy. What the hell's

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: going on in the conference semifinals?

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: Today?

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: We got a great guest, my main man, Alex Moneyline Monaco.

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: He does gambling stuff. I met him way back. It

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: was a Super Bowl party somewhere. I think Miami, Yeah,

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: might have been Miami pre COVID. And you know, this

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: guy's like j Mack, I want you on the herd. Dude,

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: you're crushing. I feel like I got a good stick,

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: a good round. I just need to get my foot

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: in the door. And you know, I tried to help

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: the guy out and next thing you know, you helped

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: him out a little bit and he gets to volume

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: and does some stuff. Now he's at MSG, he's bound,

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: he's good, and he's on the knicks. And we talk

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: about Brunson. You should listen to him. Score him when

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: I talk about trading for Giannis, because you know, technically

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: is an MSG employee. The Knicks own him, so he's

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: got to be bullish, but he's a realist as well.

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: You guys are like it. Alex Monica is great. But

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: before we get to him to break down, we'll talk

27
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: a lot of Nick Celtics. I just I you know,

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on in the NBA playoffs.

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: I just don't understand this. So the big news Steph

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: Curry gets hurt in the second quarter, goes down with

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: a hamstring injury. Did not look good. Anybody who's ever

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: had a hamstring injury. It's weeks, not days. This series

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: is every other day for the first four games. I

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, we know Curry left in the

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: second quarter, did not return, no updates. It's pretty clear.

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: I would guess he's out at least a week minimum, right,

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: So as soon as he goes out, you're like, oh,

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: Tier come the Timberwolves, and I guess Minnesota just you know,

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: didn't get the memo and they played like ass. They

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: were atrocious. This was a mostly unwatchable basketball game. We'll

41
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: get to the fun good stuff Calves Pacers in a moment,

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: But when Curry goes out with the hammy you're like,

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: all right, timber Wolves are down a little bit, eleven, twelve,

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: they can come back, and then they just can't score.

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: And listen, Golden State's a good defensive team. They're not great.

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: They have no rim protector. But when you can't make

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: a shot, it doesn't matter. Anthony Edwards, folks, first forty

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: five minutes, he could not make a jump shot, nothing

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 3: outside the paint. Only layups and dunks. That's all he

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: was doing. Actually, I don't know if he actually dunked.

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: He was just a lot of layups at the rim.

52
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: He had a horrible game. It's interesting that Anthony Edwards

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: ran his mouth, talked all kinds of shit after dispatching

54
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: the Lakers, and then he comes outscores one point in

55
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: the first half one. They're down thirteen at the half,

56
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 3: and it only gets worse from there. Even with Curry out,

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: the Wolves lose by eleven, and frankly, the Lakers and

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: Lakers fans had to be watching us being like, wait

59
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 3: a minute, who where was this when we played them?

60
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: And again, Golden State's defense is good. It hustles, it

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: rotates quickly. They don't have a rimp protector. Draymond obviously's

62
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: excellent and everywhere, but this idea that Minnesota went oh

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: for sixteen to start the game from three, could not

64
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: make one to save their life, finished five of twenty nine. Yes,

65
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: it's true. Buddy Heals hit five four threes. Buddy Healed

66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: made as many threes as the Warriors, and you know

67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: three pointers are big in the NBA. Obviously, Golden State

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: eighteen threes they shot forty two percent. Minnesota hit five.

69
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: So let's do some matth here. Eighteen minus five is

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: thirteen thirteen times three is thirty nine. When you're plus

71
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: thirty nine on threes, you ain't losing. And that's why

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: this was double digits. Minnesota, frankly is lucky. It was

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: just close. Mike Conley was abysmal, oh for five. Rudy

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: Gobert had some flashes, and I wonder if they're gonna

75
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: have to play him more because I mean, Julius Rando

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: resorted to being regular Julius Randall. I know he finished

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: with eighteen, but a lot of it was on free throws.

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: Could not make a shot over three and from deep

79
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: after shooting, I think it was thirty nine percent from

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: threes against the Lakers, Jaden McDaniels couldn't make a three.

81
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: I mean the starting backcourt of Conley and Edwards shot

82
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: nine for twenty seven. Okay Nasried came off the bench.

83
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: It was good. De Vincenzo kind of thugging it up

84
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: a little bit with Jimmy Butler. Draymond Green was not

85
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: having it. Warriors bench was not happy with him. This

86
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: looked nothing like the Deiverworlds team we saw. And then

87
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: on the other side, yes, Jenny Butler had twenty and

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: eleven and eight, Buddy Held had twenty four and eight.

89
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: Pods still can't shoot, but is a gritty defender. I

90
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: mean they team rebound. I don't know, guys, it's one game.

91
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: You don't want to overreact, but Minnesota looked atrocious like

92
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 3: they were feeling themselves off the Lakers win. That being said,

93
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: I think Minnesota bounces back in Game two, a much

94
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: easier team to defend with no Steph Curry and I

95
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: don't even know who they who are you put in

96
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: the starting lineup Gary Payton, So now you have non

97
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: shooters in Peyton although he did hit two threes, non shooter,

98
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: and Peyton non shooter and Draymond Draymond did hit four threes,

99
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: which is a little turn back to clock. I mean,

100
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: we saw Pat Spencer and his mustache on the court

101
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: for eleven minutes, like what. Anyways, I wasn't that into

102
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: that game. I was, however, into Pacers Calves. Now, if

103
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: you remember, after the Pacers won Game one, all the

104
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: data said the home teams that are heavily favored and

105
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: did this during the regular season, they bounced back in

106
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: Game two. It was something like thirty and four against

107
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: the spread, ridiculous numbers. So I instantly took the Calves

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: minus nine and a half. Then like two hours later, yeah,

109
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: Evan Mobley's unlikely to play DeAndre Hunter and we don't

110
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: know about Darius Garland. And then on Tuesday we find

111
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: out all three of those guys are out, and I'm like, oh, well,

112
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: that bets shot. The line came cratering down. I think

113
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: I saw seven, seven and a half something like that.

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: But after the first quarter, the Calves were up thirty

115
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: two fifteen. The Calves led by twenty in the third quarter,

116
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: but no twenty point lead in the NBA is safe,

117
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: And oh my gosh, do the Indiana Pacers hustle harder?

118
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: Than any other team left in the playoffs. In my opinion,

119
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: the Knicks are scrappy as hell. I think the Pacers

120
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: are even more scrappy. This team is relentless and folks,

121
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: if you haven't seen it, they were down seven, okay,

122
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: do you remember the game against Milwaukee down seven with

123
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: forty second storm back and get the win. Well, in

124
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: this one on the road against mighty Cleveland with let's

125
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: see here, with forty eight seconds left, they're down by seven,

126
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: you get Aaron Nesmith with an unbelievable play where uh

127
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: it was at the end it was the air some

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell, somebody missed a free throw and Aaron Nesmith's

129
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: comes soaring in and dunks it back. Oh no, no,

130
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: I'm sorry now, I couldn't have been Dono Mitchell. Dummy,

131
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: Pascal Siakam missed a free throw. Calves are asleep. Aaron

132
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: ne Smith comes crashing through the lane and dunks it.

133
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: And on the play it looked like Donovan Mitchell kind

134
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: of got banged up, but it invigorated Indiana. It's like

135
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: a dunk back off a free throw. You don't see that.

136
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell turns the ball over out with an elbow

137
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: to the face on accident. Of course. Then Pascal Siakam

138
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: scores and all of a sudden that seven point leads

139
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: down to three. Okay, Then you have Max Struce. I mean,

140
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: this is where the Calves are right now. No Garland,

141
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: no Hunter, no mobile. You've got Max Strews trying to

142
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: create turns it over and then Halliburton comes down, makes

143
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: the first free throw. There is some question if he

144
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: missed the second on purpose or not. I don't know.

145
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: It was close, but he popped it up so perfectly

146
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: off the front of the rim that Miles Turner tips it.

147
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: Of course Haliburton collects it, and then Haliburton finds himself

148
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: what on one on the perimeter against Ty Jerome. Now

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: there is this Pat Beverly video out there because I

150
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: guess he did a podcast and people will ask him, hey,

151
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: Ty Jerome, he could be a factor in the playoffs.

152
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: He's lighting it up, and Pat pav was like, excuse me.

153
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: It's one thing to score a bunch in the regular

154
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: season eighty two games. A lot of guys have had

155
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: good games. It's another when you've got to play playoff

156
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: basketball and defend and shoot. And with Garland out. Ti

157
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: Jerome has to play a lot. He's a uva hero.

158
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: He had a really good season. People think he's gonna

159
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: get paid this offseason. Game one, he took twenty shots. Okay,

160
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 3: he played way too much. It took too many shots.

161
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 3: Game two, Ti Jerome one for fourteen. This is a

162
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: good shooter, a really good shooter. He was one for fourteen,

163
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: miss all his threes and then is left on an

164
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 3: island against Haliburton. In the closing seconds, Halliburton step back

165
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: three in his face. And I don't know if I've

166
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: ever yelled about Indiana Pacers game, but I was solow

167
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: watching this that I was like, this is crazy. Is

168
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: this really happening? And then Halliburton steps back and I'm like,

169
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: oh my, My family's like, what's going on? What happened?

170
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 3: I was like, Halliburton, what the HELLI halle Burton. I

171
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: was just going crazy.

172
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: You know.

173
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: I love Halliburton and Indiana steals. Game two, they go

174
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: up to nothing on the calves. I don't want to

175
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 3: say the series is over, but I think the series over, folks.

176
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: I mean, Aaron Nesmith, what a freaking game that guy had.

177
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: He listen, everybody needs role players. I know you guys

178
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: don't really care about this, but you know the way

179
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: we built the great Foxes over the years is, hey,

180
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: we got size, we got guards, we got wings. What

181
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: we need our role players to surround two or three

182
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 3: superstars because you know in men's leagues here you can't.

183
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: Nobody makes every game, and Aaron Nesmith is the quintessential.

184
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna work my butt off on defense, I'm gonna

185
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: block some shots, I'm gonna make some shots. He had

186
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: five threes. I mean, Aaron Nisith had a hell of

187
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: a game. He scored twenty three points. And the guy's

188
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: just everywhere. He played at Vanderbilt. He's only twenty five.

189
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: The Celtics actually drafted him. But him and Andrew Nemhar Nemhart,

190
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: another hard nosed defender. He had thirteen assists. Andrew Nemart thirteen,

191
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 3: thirteen and seven. Now, he did have eight turnovers. A

192
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 3: little sloppy with the basketball, but Andrew Nemart another guy.

193
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: He's not going to force a ton. He did miss

194
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: his threes, but he had a really strong game. And

195
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: of course Haliburton brings it home. Miles Turner my guy,

196
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: future laker, as Rob G would say, twenty three and

197
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: eight had five blocks. Folks, this team is dangerous. My

198
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: main man, Ben matherin the Arizona legend for one year,

199
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 3: came off the bench with nineteen and Indiana's up to nothing.

200
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: I think the series is over. I mean we're ten

201
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: minutes in. I'd even mention Donovan Mitchell had forty eight.

202
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 3: He was tremendous, but he got dinged up at the end.

203
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: Ty Jerome could not throw it in the ocean. Yeah,

204
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: I mean, Dean Wade was a starter. They put Sam

205
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: Merril on the bench. He comes off and was making shots,

206
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: but they just do not have enough offense. Despite leading

207
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: the entire game, the Cavs blow it and fall down

208
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: oh two. So pencil it in, folks. The Indiana Pacers,

209
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you never want to say anything's a lock,

210
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 3: but I've got them in the conference finals now against

211
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: New York or Boston. That will be back to back

212
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: years where the Pacers go to the Conference finals. And

213
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you this team is hungry. They got

214
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: some dogs on the Indiana Pacers, all right. Whoa hell

215
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: of a night in the Association. By the way, first

216
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: five games of the Conference semifinals, favorites are oh and

217
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: five against the spread, oh and five straight up Ohn

218
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: five straight up Pacers got two, Nick's got one. Uh,

219
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: what was the other one? Nicks Pacers got two? Oh,

220
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets got one, and then the Warriors go one.

221
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: That's insanity. All right, Without further ado, let's get to

222
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: Alex Monaco of MSG sports.

Speaker 1: Everything he doesn't, he knows a guy who does.

230
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 4: Let's just say I know a guy who knows a

231
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: guy who knows another guy.

232
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: All right, let's welcome back to straight Fire, one of

233
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: everybody's favorite guests when it comes to New York City sports,

234
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: specifically the Knicks. My main man, Alex money Line. Are

235
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: we still going? Money line? Monico? Is that the nickname?

236
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: Absolutely appreciate the plug, Jaymac, thanks for having me fired up, baby,

237
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: you're the New Yorker.

238
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: I'm just here as a cheerleader.

239
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: But Greg, yeah, yeah, yeah, But you're all over MSG network,

240
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 3: you are posting your bets, which you hit Nick's money

241
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: line in Game one? That was more heart overhead. Obviously,

242
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: that being said, I'll just start right here. Obviously Celtics

243
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: are not going to miss forty five threes in every game.

244
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 3: Is there a world where a Knicks win.

245
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: The series without question?

246
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 4: Let's let's look at two things here, all right, two

247
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 4: things happen. Obviously, they shot poorly, that's gonna be readjusted.

248
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: But I want to take you back to the April

249
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 4: loss where Tatum hits a ridiculous three to send it

250
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: to overtime.

251
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 2: They steal away in the garden.

252
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: That was a game where the Knicks had two times

253
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 4: the points in the paint against a fully healthy squad.

254
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 4: That debt on top of that, you watched last night.

255
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 4: There's something with this Knicks club that again hadn't really

256
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 4: been together in playoff ball. But in the Pistons series,

257
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 4: let's just call a little metaphor like it's a boxer.

258
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 4: They go twelve rounds against an absolute goliath. And you

259
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: can already tell last night in Game one eye test,

260
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: j Max Boston ain't even close to the that's his

261
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: six teams. Secondarily, the Knicks love being doubted and dogged

262
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: and outside of yourself a couple others being a little

263
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 4: like you know, like myself optimistic about this team. The

264
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: oh to ten narrative already squashed in one game. But

265
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 4: we're talking about Mariano Rivera on the team. I mean,

266
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: this is the best closer in the game. I got

267
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: a number here after three NBA players from ninety seven

268
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 4: on if ink seventy five fourth quarter points in their

269
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: first seven games. It's Curry, It's Kobe, It's Brunson. But

270
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 4: to watch yesterday the Cadence, it's I said it on

271
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: my picks in a sixty second spiel, get the game close.

272
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: It's similar to what Colin said. I made sure I

273
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 4: caught the show. He had a great thought about. Okay, see,

274
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 4: not a lot of close games. Boston's a bottom five

275
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 4: cover at home this year is a home favorite, believe

276
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: it or not. Not a lot of close games in

277
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: the junior Garden, as I like to call.

278
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: It, there are there by the way, By the way,

279
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: it sounded loud when so the Knicks were popping there

280
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: at the game.

281
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 4: So it's look, it's a little macro micro, but to

282
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: throw it back to you. Let's just call this what

283
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 4: it is. This is not a healthy Celtics team. You

284
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 4: got a Jason wrist Jalen knee zingis is almost a

285
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 4: heads You need to hire an inspector.

286
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: What's going on?

287
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 4: You got a thirty four year old Drew Holliday now

288
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 4: taking holidays with a hamstring patch on him, and now

289
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: Horford looks like he's halfway to a retirement dinner at.

290
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: Sisler at four fifteen.

291
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: This to me Peyton Pritchard with auser out house to

292
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 4: step up. But I'm telling you tip for tat remind

293
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: ourselves the Knicks were reshuffled after a great fifty win

294
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: season to compete and matchup against this team. You know this,

295
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 4: j Maax, It's all about matchups. Well, let's go player

296
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: for player. You get a w throwing it back to you.

297
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: Where Carl and Bridges give you twenty six combined. That's

298
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: a Nicks loss in the regular.

299
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I do wonder. I totally forgot about this

300
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 3: until you just said something. But the Celtics are batter.

301
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: Do you remember the Nuggets last year really just felt

302
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: slow and beat up after winning the title. They faced

303
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves. They lead by twenty in Game seven and

304
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: home and blow and lose. And I don't have the

305
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: number in front of me, but I think the recent

306
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: history suggests if you win the title, historically the defending

307
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: champion does not farewell. It's not easy to get back.

308
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: We see this sometimes in the NFL. But I just

309
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: wonder do we see Boston sort of wear down here?

310
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: They really settle because Knicks don't have a rimp protector,

311
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: and they settle for sixty threes. That was kind of insane,

312
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: it was.

313
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: But if these guys aren't healthy, let's just do an

314
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: eye test here. Does Jalen Brown look like he wants

315
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: to impose as will as arguably the best athlete in

316
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: this series.

317
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: Didn't see it last night.

318
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: So now you're going IQ on tip for tap, bucket

319
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: for bucket. You got the better closer out of the bullpen.

320
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 4: And the guy I said it last year can't really

321
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: call it now. But we gotta double our age in

322
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: the grown man world From an IQ TIBs over Missoula standpoint,

323
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 4: guys still in his late thirties. I mean, a team

324
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: that's fed, are they are they fed? Are they starving?

325
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 4: Do they have any Dog left this Knicks team, Thank

326
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 4: you Middle Brother Pistons. In the Eastern Conference, they brought

327
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 4: out a version the whole town new Last year's team

328
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 4: was Drippton Dog with Randall and iHeart and Dante.

329
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: This team needs to be challenged like that.

330
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 4: But let's just call what it is a selfless team,

331
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 4: very much like Boston. But I continue to go back

332
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: to if this team New York can keep it close

333
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: in all of these games, we got six to seven

334
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 4: game series on her hand.

335
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 3: I do worry though, it's one thing against the Pistons

336
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: to have Brunston takeover late. Right, Piston's no really elite

337
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 3: wing guard other than a Sorrow Thompson. Boston has like

338
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: four of those white holiday hell. I like Tatum as

339
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 3: a defender. Brown we know is very good. I just

340
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: wonder that the Knicks have to they have to have

341
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 3: a CounterPunch to, Hey, let's get it to Brunston and

342
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 3: have them go to work.

343
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And we talk about this all the time on

344
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: our programs on MSG. It's almost the bio rhythms from

345
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 4: last year because last year's Brunton on the Knicks kind

346
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 4: of need him to go for thirty five forty on

347
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 4: a lot of spots this team.

348
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: It's almost like, all right, and this is not my thought,

349
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: one of my.

350
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 4: Buddies just balancing between good team basketball and brunts and cookie.

351
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, it's the hotthand

352
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 4: with the basketball IQ of these five guys, and you know,

353
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 4: little things create championship pedigree. Bridges had a championship moment,

354
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 4: Og had one last night. Heart's all over the place

355
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 4: doing literally everything with hga Art and I mean he's invaluable,

356
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 4: So I just think it's a combo, a right place,

357
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 4: right time.

358
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 2: We know this timing is everything.

359
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 4: When Harry met Sally Baby come on this banged up

360
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: Celtics team that was running into a team that was

361
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: literally crafted by Leon West and the boys. To go

362
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 4: against this team, that's gotta be factored in here. As

363
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: you guys say on the show, often you get new information,

364
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: we can reassess where's the killer instinct in Boston?

365
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: Last night.

366
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 3: Didn't see it at all. It's weird. I instantly thought

367
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: when they got Bridges o G. I'm like, oh, we

368
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 3: got it. We got the pieces in place. You had

369
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 3: town second score. And then during the season I backed

370
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: off a little bit when they lost to all the

371
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 3: good teams. I was like, ah, well, it just saysn't happening.

372
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: I do have to ask, was Sonny Lee in attendance

373
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: last night?

374
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 2: Said OG?

375
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: Or sorry Monday night because OG went off? And I'm

376
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: sure you've seen those videos? Oh?

377
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And by the way, have you met Sony Lee?

378
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: Or no, we have, we have, We've we tapped it up.

379
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 4: Stiller is a big fan of the network and throws

380
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 4: me some love here and there, But no, no, uh no,

381
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 4: Sonny Lee, little Hathaway's just as good of a good

382
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 4: luck chart my guests and happened.

383
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: Let me go.

384
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 4: Let me just throw you this j Mac because just

385
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 4: pushing back on the oh and ten because I have

386
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: covered the Knicks for a living as a gambler, so

387
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 4: I have to look at the painting differently than sports

388
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 4: talk radio and other programs. So the oh and ten

389
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 4: narrative is just ridiculous when you look at the situations

390
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 4: of some of those losses because they're scheduled, baked and

391
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: losses off of based off solely the schedule. Four games

392
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 4: in five days, home road, back to back. We had

393
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: the Bulls in and overtime where Getty's playing above the rim.

394
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: We go to Cleveland the next night.

395
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: No, Josh Hart, that's not built in How about Boston

396
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: then Cleveland again, We're down a man home road back

397
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 4: to back. That's not set up for most of these

398
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 4: top tier teams. So you do that, you go look

399
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 4: at the OKC loss on the road. You can't push

400
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: back and go all right, go two through four against

401
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,239
Speaker 4: the Knicks and the Grizzlies and the Rockets and the

402
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: other teams in those you know, upper echelons of the league.

403
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: It's just I thought.

404
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: They got I thought they got a little bit of

405
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 4: a foul kind of just like they're terrible because their

406
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: top three awful loss. They had two to three game

407
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: losing streaks the whole year with a reshuffled team. That's

408
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 4: a ridiculous thing.

409
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, gave him like a two or three month grace

410
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: period to work in towns and the personalities and everything,

411
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 3: and losing Dante and Randall. I mean, I could excuse

412
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 3: away four or five, but ten, I will say that

413
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 3: gave me pause on the next But this first game

414
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 3: is everything you asked for. Bridges just ripping the ball

415
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: away from Brown right, OG's showing out. Now they got

416
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 3: nothing from Towns. However, I will say this porzingis thing.

417
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: If he has to miss I can't imagine he could

418
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: be sick and miss another game, right because if he does,

419
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: I think at that point that that ten and a

420
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: half line has to get adjusted. I mean, Porze gonna

421
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: Saint Worth two points. But the rotation, like you saw

422
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: Al Horford, he looked washed, didn't he.

423
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: I mean I joked halfway to Sizzler at four to thirty,

424
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 4: co to del Boca Vista, hang out with the sein Felts.

425
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: It's time for ping pong. You're gonna put Horford on

426
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: Brunton on the perimeter again.

427
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 4: There was an oh gal two threes in the third

428
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 4: when they were down a mountain got him back from

429
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: like twenty to fourteen, and then brunchon cooking in the

430
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 4: ninety one. All moment, Horford on the perimeter. What are

431
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 4: they doing over there?

432
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: I mean, this is all matchups related.

433
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 4: Now, there's a lot of exposing on the other side

434
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: when you're switching, and there's a lot of Knicks fans

435
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 4: scared about that side of the court. And look, Boston's

436
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 4: twenty and two off a loss this year, They're likely

437
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: coming back to the real Garden for a one to

438
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 4: one split.

439
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: But now we got the best six man in the game.

440
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: I wish I had the cachet to get you in

441
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: with my badge more than and I had a plus one. Wait, wait,

442
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: who's the best six man Miles with Bride. No, I'm

443
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 4: saying the the Arena, the New York Knicks.

444
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: Oh well, I don't know.

445
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: We'll get that j mag.

446
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 3: First thing we said was but they can't close out

447
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 3: games at MSG. Part of me, they can't close out

448
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 3: series at MSG. It's it's been an issue.

449
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: Man.

450
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 4: Well I know, yeah, yeah, Look that Piston series was

451
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: a completely different boxer.

452
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: Now the Knicks are dogged. Now they're doubted.

453
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 4: You saw it everyone on ESPN Knicks and or Celtics

454
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 4: and six Celtics and five Celtics hogwarts. Sweet, every single

455
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 4: person picks up every single No one even said seven.

456
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, I got triple check my stigmatism.

457
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 3: Well, let's let be real. The idea that the Knicks

458
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: are gonna win the series still a little far fetched.

459
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: They can win it, but come on, man.

460
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 2: This is I'll read you the line right now.

461
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 4: I guy in front of me plus two ninety five

462
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: it's plus one and a half series games a series

463
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 4: spread minus one oh four. If you're all they would

464
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 4: need units, they would need one more win that they

465
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 4: would be one more does statistically if you're looking off

466
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 4: them on the season awful loss at twenty four and nine,

467
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 4: you're on the correct side there. I just I I

468
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 4: feel very good about to two. Back to the TV garden. However,

469
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 4: however it spinds. I'm not quite sure. Just feels good

470
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 4: to get game one and that they didn't lie down.

Speaker 3: Let me where are you on Jason Tatum because he

475
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: seems to catch a lot of iron anytime the Celtics win. Well,

476
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: they've got a great team, they got the best sixth

477
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: man in the league and Peyton Brichard and the seventh

478
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 3: van and they're just stacked. And then they lose. Well,

479
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum sucks.

480
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: He's not clutching.

481
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: I just feel like it's a little harsh.

482
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: Well, here's my question.

483
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 4: This is my cowhard you know, humble disciple analogy Jyalen

484
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 4: Brunson's the best quarterback on this floor in addition to

485
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 4: the best closer. Because if you're the Tatum the quarterback

486
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: last night, and you're one of nine with four points

487
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: down the stretch fourth quarter and os included one of nine,

488
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 4: where is the wherewithal to act with your set shot

489
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 4: that I could do a load of laundry in between

490
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: by the time you release it, thinking you're Steph Curry

491
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 4: with a tie game going for thirty five. That's where

492
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 4: I say the IQ in this boxing match becomes compelling

493
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 4: because if Tatum Nos Batman or excuse me, Robin and

494
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown ain't one hundred percent and it's on to

495
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 4: take down Gotham unintended that to me, that decision right there,

496
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 4: that's questionable because now we're talking about Drew really has.

497
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 2: To be very healthy.

498
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: He did have a very good game one, but let's

499
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 4: see remains to be seen with the hammy. It's a

500
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 4: lot more on Derek White of all people for this

501
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 4: engine to go around the perimeter, and he died do

502
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 4: have the numbers here in front of him.

503
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: He cooked the knicks this season.

504
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 4: So if you're looking for a guy to hit props

505
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 4: on overs. It's Derek White against the next But.

506
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's just one win.

507
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 4: I'm saying that's symbolic of how this series is gonna go.

508
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 2: Great teams find ways to win.

509
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 3: So here's the interesting thing. So Brunson was nine of

510
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: twenty three, Tatum was seven of twenty three. Very similar

511
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: from the line. Brunson six of seven, Tatum five of seven.

512
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: Like they had similar games. Twenty nine points for Brunson,

513
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 3: twenty three for Tatum. The big difference is Tatum just

514
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 3: missed eleven threes. Brunson only missed four. Otherwise, I thought

515
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: the games were even. I mean, Brunson. Guys at work

516
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 3: were telling me, hey man, Brunton missed that layup for

517
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 3: the victory. How clutch was that? And I'm like, well,

518
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 3: that's a tough leaner. But overall, I didn't see a

519
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: huge cut of difference. And I am curious. You think

520
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 3: Brunson is better than Tatum, huh?

521
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: As far as I mean, look, he Tatum is.

522
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 4: If we're going, I guess fantasy drafts start a team

523
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 4: in a positionless now kind of league, it's kind of

524
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 4: hard to go with Tatum. But one series this series

525
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 4: one leader guy that got snubbed didn't necessarily handle it

526
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: well with curse bench over the summer or the best

527
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 4: quarterback and closer in the game.

528
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 2: I gotta take my guy.

529
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 4: But the difference in them is is six straight games

530
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 4: a seven plus assists. I don't think Brunton gets enough

531
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: credit for that, and those are the numbers. Only had

532
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 4: five last night. But again, it's almost like he's sitting

533
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: there in real time going all right. It's a little

534
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: dual threat with like maybe a Lamar type thing where

535
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 4: he can run at any point, but it's almost just

536
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 4: as valuable as getting his boys involved. Bridges, you know,

537
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 4: eight point unbelievable satellite, but at eight point night in

538
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 4: the fourth it's it's very tough.

539
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: But we talk about it as well at our network.

540
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 4: Brunson's IQ, his ability to assess when his guys are

541
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 4: feeling it, when the moments to pick his spots are,

542
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 4: that's something you can't teach.

543
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: He's he's a Rick Brunson disciple.

544
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 4: If this is all, by the way, just culture that's

545
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: been brewing for four years here that I've seen first hand.

546
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: There's a lot of talk about Yannis obviously leaving Milwaukee,

547
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: Houston's in the mix? Who else is it? I heard

548
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: san Antonio could put together a package. You know, you

549
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: got a bunch of teams in the mix.

550
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 4: I'm walking around by the way, uh over here on

551
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 4: thirty third and no one bothering him, Nobody bothered at six',

552
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 4: ten just walking, around nobody, knows not.

553
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: Nothing, Yeah, james you think, Nothing.

554
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: Illy, Cooper, joannis no one's coming up to. Him this

555
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 4: is why The stars Picked New, York New.

556
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 3: York, yes, obviously let's say the next loser series four?

557
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: Two do you run it back or do you consider

558
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 3: a package For? Jannis you would probably Lose Karl Anthony.

559
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 3: Towns i'm not sure what. Else obviously you don't want

560
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: to give up, runtson but would you be on board

561
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,320

00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: really blew up the. Team they tried to tinker around the,

581
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: edges and now they're kind of sort of screwed and

582
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 3: they're not even like a top six team in The.

583
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: WEST i you kind of got to strike while the iron's.

606
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: When brunton goes. Down there were several instances where we

607
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 4: had five guys with three dimes a, night and that's this.

608
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: Team it's like our only pushback is our closer and

609
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 4: our best. Scorer maybe tries to do too much because

610
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: some guys aren't stepping. Up on a night Where bridges

611
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 4: is a seventeen point a game, guy but he's giving you.

612
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: EIGHT i, mean it's unbelievable What brunton. DOES i don't

614
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 4: Yorkers this is not.

615
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: One of the most unbelievable kind of. Cultures, well the

616
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:47,560
