WEBVTT - Hour 2 – Scott Van Pelt, Adam Sandler 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.560 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:09.159 Sports Radio. It's hour two on this Thursday. I am 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:15.440 sports tired. I'm tired. Big Nap today, Big Nap boy. Today, 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.000 we'll talk to Scott van Pelt. He was on the 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:21.720 call there with Sports Center before and after the game. 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:25.320 Van Paz will join us momentarily at the airport headed 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.920 to San Antonio. The Knicks will be five and a 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.000 half point underdogs in that game. I don't think it 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:33.599 matters what the point spread is. 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:34.360 You know. 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:36.680 I mentioned that Game three, it was two and a 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.200 half point favorite for the Knicks, and I said, boy, 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.800 I would take the Spurs. Last night, I thought the 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.480 Knicks were going to win. Then they're down twenty nine, 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.519 and I go, maybe they could make this respectable and 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.040 have a little momentum. Going back to San Antonio, nine 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.920 and a half minutes to go, New York out scores 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.120 the Spurs thirty to eleven, holding them to two for eleven. 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.720 Shooting stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.600 the official trading cards. So the program, we'll talk to 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.160 Roger Bennett, men In Blazer's co host as the World 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.760 Cup gets underway today. United States in action tomorrow My 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.920 Golden Knights at the Hurricanes game five tonight on ABC. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.959 Let's make way for Scott Van Pelt, Sports Center host 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.679 at the Garden Van Paz. 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:27.640 When you're at halftime, what's the building like? 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.479 Well, the building was on fire because the Wu Tang 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.720 clan was on the floor, daan And as you know, 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.280 as you know, the Wu Tang clan ain't nothing to me. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:39.920 Yeah, so. 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.520 It was actually I felt terrible because you know, here 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.880 comes the Wu Tang. This is New York Royalty, and 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.760 I mean they're down by million, and they did the 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.160 best they could to get the building kind of back. 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.200 But I mean, I see Timothy. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.520 Shaloman at halftime. We're fast friends now and me and 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.400 Tim and he's like, I don't know. I said, there's 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.960 a saying it's a cliche in sport, but next play, 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.120 next play. And the thing about NBA games, you know this, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.680 you've covered them for many years. That forty eight minutes 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.080 is a long time. Man, that's a long time. And 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.799 so I'm talking to my guys Stanford Steve, and I say, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.600 you think they get this to single digits at any point? 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.600 And he said, I think they will. And I said, 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.680 I do not, and as we know, they did, but 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.480 it was at halftime. There were not many optimists in 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:30.000 the building. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.040 Yeah, And I kept waiting to see was there going 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.120 to be a moment or can I pinpoint a moment? 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.200 And I just mentioned with nine and a half to 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.560 go they go on a thirty two to eleven run. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.000 I just kept wondering what Mitch Johnson was thinking, because 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.240 unless he wasn't thinking in the moment of this is real, 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.000 he might think, Oh, we're going to win this. The 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.119 question is how much are we going to win this by? 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.760 How accountable do you make him? I know we can 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.360 talk about dearon Fox, but let's start with the head coach. 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.160 I thought there were a number of moments where a 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.520 timeout just would have made sense. 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:05.960 I mean, what are you saving them for? 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:06.480 Right? 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.640 I mean, just call a time out, tell everybody to 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.680 take a deep breath and calm down and stop hoisting threes. 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.720 They were incredibly hot first half. As a shooter yourself, 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.800 you know, when you start missing, put it on the paint, 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.000 get to the line, figure out a way to get. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.160 An easy bucket. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:27.959 And they seemed intent to keep chucking threes. And I'm 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.519 thinking the same thing you're thinking, Dan, at some point, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.840 call a timeout and just if nothing else, let everybody 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.840 gather their thoughts and recognize we cannot let this get away. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.200 And you know, by the time they started calling timeouts, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.400 it felt too late because it wasn't nine anymore again, 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:46.080 it was five. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:46.880 Now it's four. 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.520 Now You're like, holy crap, they could win this game. 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.080 And I mean the fact that the Knicks already did 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.640 it once this playoff run against Cleveland, I raced a 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:55.880 twenty two point lead. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:56.240 In a fourth. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.720 You know, there's this buy in, there's a belief that's 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.960 it in actually having done it. You know, it's not 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.440 like everyone says Ogananobi tells me afterwards. We keep believing 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.000 and I don't I roll them, but I at the 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.440 same time, I'm like, brother, you're down twenty nine once, 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.200 Like I can't. We're going to stay in the fight. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:17.919 But I mean, you know, they seem to really genuinely believe. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.080 And as I say, they've shown way. 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.440 And I think when the series started we thought, okay, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.720 this is a young team. Yeah, well okay, dearon Fox, 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.000 you know, he's supposed to be the veteran, he's the 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.080 leader that in a big moment, you know, maybe not 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.279 Stefan Castle with the ball or Wemby, you got Daron Fox. Well, 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.000 that didn't go as scripted because I couldn't understand how 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.000 you don't do the math. You don't need a basket, 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.039 you need to take time off the clock. He just 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.240 had a two minute stretch that is going to be 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.520 unforgivable in NBA. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.960 Lore I agree, and it's the player I've liked for 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.680 a long time. I was thrilled that he got to 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.039 San Antonio and got out of sort of being stuck 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.560 where he was, where he was playing games that were inconsequential, 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.160 you know, and you have the ball in the lead, 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.239 the clock's your biggest ally, you don't need another point 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.479 at that point, I thought, and I'm standing right down 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.880 there at that baseline, I thought he was going to 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.240 do that thing where you hesitate and then you use 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.240 the burst of speed to go baseline to the far 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.360 corner and just keep bleeding clock. But as he takes 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.719 it to the rim, oj Ananobe does an incredible job 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.160 to not foul them and get the block. And then 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.640 it's two things that were basketball one oh one that 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.760 and then you have to get a body on anenobe, 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.000 and when one Binyama comes floating out to challenge the 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.080 three from Brunson, I mean his I don't know if 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.760 you've ever seen him in person, Dan, but I mean 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.520 his length. You can't process it in your brain. So 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.160 I understand challenging the shot from one Binyama, but if 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.920 he exits the paint, someone has to get a body 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.160 at anenobe. Not one person did, and so it's two 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.560 Coop one oh one tenants that were abandoned there and 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.160 they cost the Spurs dearly. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:07.719 Yeah. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.760 I was just saying this about ten minutes ago. It 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.720 drives me crazy that nobody boxes out anymore. I guess 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.280 in high school you had to college a little bit 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.919 in the pros forget about it, and you know the 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.520 Aaron Fox can't lose sight of Anenoby. I know he 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.599 comes out, but I mean, there were just some fundamental 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:33.760 plays that should never those mistakes never should have been made. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.920 Nobody wanted to leave the garden when it was over, 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.800 so everybody's just kind of milling abound. You had to 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.920 stay for postgame for Sports Center, But what was that 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:49.680 atmosphere like when everybody's walking around kind of bewildered. 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.599 That's the thing, Dan, Like, we've both been fortunate and 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.360 we've talked about this a lot through the years, like that, 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.560 we've done it for a while, and so you know, 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.800 the day after, you try to resist the urge to say, 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.880 never see anything like it. You never see anything like it, 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.080 all right, there's no historical context for this, but it's 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.920 I mean, so as I'm walking out on the floor, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.200 there's Sharla Man, He's like, we did it, and I'm 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.200 like yeah. And there's Taylor Swift, and then Jimmy Fallon 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.480 and Tersey Morgan are just spinning in circles, hugging each other, 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.880 and it's New York Hip Hop Royalty, and there's nas 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.600 and here's you know, all the New York nick legends 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.920 and a lums on the floor and this is New 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.760 York City, Dan, like, this is not a place that's 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:34.600 easily impressed or easily moved. And they're singing Journey, they're 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.560 singing don't Stop Believing. I'm taping an interview with Spike 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.640 and they're playing New York, New York. John Traturo walks in, 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.240 kisses him, kisses him on the cheek. As we're doing 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.960 the interview and I'm just thinking to myself, like, this 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.520 is the city, man, Like this place is unhinged with 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.440 joy in a way that like, as a non New Yorker, 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.280 I just I don't remember seeing them moved in that way. 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.040 And I give the Garden credit it. Like, you know, 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.280 games over, let's get move and let's get out of here, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.920 let's go home. No one was in a hurry to 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.360 push them to the exits. I'm sitting on the floor 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.680 with a small set and Spike gets up screaming the 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.239 last refrain of New York, New York og and Andobi 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.560 sits down. And you know this because you again, you've 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.040 done it and it's your job. But I got to 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.360 tell you, man, in the midst of it, you're pinching yourself, going, man, 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.960 I've been lucky and I've seen some stuff, but I've 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.280 never never seen this. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.640 I know you're busy. Uh say travels to San Antonio. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.880 Great to say, no, no, Dan, We're going to DC baby 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.640 Stanley Cup tonight post game Stanley Cup. 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:48.640 The show goes on, goes on constant road trip for you. Huh. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.120 You know what, zero complaints. Championship season. The Stanley Cup 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.520 has been awesome. The NBA Finals been awesome. We you know, 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.040 we'll see you when the when the see when the 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:57.480 game's done. 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.960 All right, thank you, buddy. It's always rather be good. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.560 Scott Van Pelt going to DC and then then going 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.959 to San Antonio after that. Some of the back room 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.920 guys know that I'm old, and they know that I've 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.680 been around a lot of big events. If I just 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.800 did basketball being in person, now, if that was for 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:20.200 the title last night, that would probably be the greatest 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.840 moment finish in NBA history. If I looked at it 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.040 was a twenty nine point you know, come back, you 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.040 do it, you do it in dramatic fashion, to tip 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.839 in almost at the buzzer, it would be it would 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:38.439 be tough to try to surpass that. Now, Jordan in Utah, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.480 that was for a title, and people forget that he 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.480 has the strip on Carl Malone at one end setting 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.480 up the game winning shot. We think that's Mike's last game, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.880 that's his last shot, that's his last moment. And then 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.120 I was in the Boston Garden when Magic hits the 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:02.200 skyhook over Kevin McHale and Robert Parrish. That's for a championship. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.720 Last night was not for a championship. Had it been, 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.240 that probably would have Sir Pat. Now, if I'm in 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.199 the moment and I'm there, that would have surpassed the 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.760 other two that I saw. But you know, the Celtics 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.480 losing at home, and you would have had last night, 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.959 you know, with the Knicks winning a championship at home, 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.840 and it's been fifty three years, so I would factor 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:26.280 that in. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.280 But it wasn't for the title. 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:33.560 Magic on the road, hits the runner and Michael you 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.320 know with the jump shot to beat Utah. Those are 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.280 two of the best basketball moments and I don't know 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.480 if there's anything that's even close to that. The eighty 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.600 six Mets with the ball with Buckner. That wasn't for 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.840 the World Series title. That was just to get to 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.600 a Game seven. Had that been, you could make a 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:57.439 case that's the greatest finish in baseball history. Now Masaroski 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.760 hit a home run and that won a World Series, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.720 Well you gotta I mean there's been these. Joe Carter 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.520 I was there when he hit the home run off 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.600 Mitch Williams. I mean, I got so many moments that 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.360 I need a rolodex. But but I've seen the moments 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.600 when they happen in a championship is at stake, That's 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:16.400 when it's different. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:18.839 Yes, Marvin, do you. 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.680 Think more people do you think this would have been 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:25.520 more iconic in history if oj Ananobi was Jalen Brunson, like, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.040 he's not on the level of a Magic or Michael Jordan, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.640 where the iconic player hits the iconic shot. 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.920 Yes, you're waiting for that moment. You're waiting for that 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.840 guy to come to the plate. You're waiting for your 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.560 future Hall of Famer to have his moment. The fact 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:46.160 that Magic took the shot, and you think, if there's 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.520 going to be a skyhook, it's going to be Kareem. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:54.040 But Magic taking that shot and going over two seven footers, 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.640 great defenders and hitting that shot and stunning the garden, 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.600 and then everybody in the building knew why he wasn't 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.400 see I'm gonna get into now, I'm gonna get angry again. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.280 I never now. 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.600 I know Packson hit big shots, Steve Kerr hit big shots. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.920 I don't want Michael Jordan taking that shot. I don't 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.720 want him to be able to go right. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:18.360 Gues. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.080 Did he push off, Yes he did. Would I have 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:22.400 double team do Yes? 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:28.640 I got a double team. 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.920 But yeah, if oj Ananobi makes that, you win a 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:38.839 championship in New York, that'd be tough to surpass. Now, 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.320 there were moments, you know, I vaguely remember the Celtics 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:48.640 in you know, nineteen sixty nine and before that, probably 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:53.080 really started watching basketball in nineteen sixty nine. I remember 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.800 Jerry West, but they didn't win the championship. When he 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.679 hits that three quarter court shot, they didn't win the championship. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.720 But there have been a lot of moments that I watch, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:09.679 But then being in person, it's just different. It's that atmosphere. 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.680 It doesn't leave the building, even if you open up 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.600 all the windows and all the doors, it doesn't. That 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.520 will remain in that building throughout our lifetime. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.360 Yeah, Paulie, I was thinking this morning, if the next 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.600 go on to win in five or six, and it's 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.679 not a special win, those games, OG's moment will be 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.319 will override the rest of the series, And it kind 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.840 of reminds me a little Apples and oranges. Kirk Gibson's 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.160 home run for the Dodgers in eighty eight, that was 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.280 Game one, but in my mind that was to win 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.080 the World Series when I look back, but I know 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.200 it's Game one, but that overshadowed the rest. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.080 Of the series. I wasn't in the building for that, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.840 but that's a moment where they were big underdogs to 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.240 the A's and Gibbe Homer's and all of a sudden, 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.719 you've got It's weird. It's like when the Reds in 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:02.280 nineteen ninety with Eric Davis beating the Oakland A's. Once again, 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.319 the A's were big favorites, and I just remember, all 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.520 of a sudden, you were like, they're not invincible, and 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.480 it would be like just a moment a play a hit. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.839 You know, if Shilling had pitched with the bloody sock 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.320 and that was the game clincher, that would be up there. 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.320 I mean, it's already up there, but you're talking about 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.640 these moments. I was there when Luis Gonzalez had a 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.680 little salt off base knock against Mariana Rivera that won 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:31.480 the World Series. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.840 I mean, it wasn't a dramatic hit or anything. 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:39.560 It was he got his maryon Rivera through the pitch 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.520 that he wanted to throw, and I think he broke 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.920 Gonzalez's bat, but he somehow flared it and they ended 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.080 up winning the World Series. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.040 Yes, Dylan. 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.120 Yeah, I think at what people remember too, like Bill 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.280 Buckner game in eighty six, that was game six. No 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.840 one remembers game seven, like obviously the mesie and you 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:56.920 were there for that. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.360 Right, Yeah, that is one of those when you when 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:05.280 you have an atmosphere when the ball went through Buckner's 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:11.960 legs and Ray Night scores that the sound, the sound 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:13.160 has never left me. 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.920 It was, oh my god. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.360 It's this is an earthquake, and people jumping out of 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.560 the stands. Everybody was going on the and this is 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.040 only game six. You still have game seven and then 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.960 I think there was a rain delay and Bruce Hurst 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.800 was pitching, he was dealing in game seven. Like it 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.400 was okay, you won game six. Now it's like the 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.480 Bartman game that was game six, so you still had 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.240 game seven. Carrie wood Homers like you're you're gonna be okay, 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.200 we'll survive Bartman. But like, that's what are you gonna 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:53.520 do for an encore? And it's tough to provide an encore? Yeah, Marvin, Yeah, I. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.360 Think og and Andoby will be up there with Magic 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.120 Johnson because people don't realize. I think that Magic Johnson 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.440 hook Shop was to go up three to one in series. Oh, 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.720 it wasn't that the Larry Bird shot? Yeah, where he's 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.880 wide open when Worthy loses. Yes, that's the next play. Oh, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.120 and they will go up three to one in the 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:12.160 series instead of two to two. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.040 Man, when you bring that up to James Worthy, Worthy 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.400 is like Pete on himself. Oh I know he did 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.640 say that. Uh well, then e me because I thought 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.840 magic because I was there. They were celebrating in that 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:34.400 high school locker room there, and it was about, you know, 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.680 my side of the man cave here. It wasn't even 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.160 this big in there. It was like a couple of showers. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.480 I don't think there's any hot water. I just remember 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.760 you get a bunch of you know, tall basketball players 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.200 in there, some champagne, a trophy, and you know it 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:50.640 was some wild atmosphere. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:51.960 Yeah, dyl Yeah, But. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.120 That's all almost to the point where it's like it's 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.200 not always the game seven or the series ending game 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.480 that is what truly stands out. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.560 Yeah, like Paul said, they could they could just go 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:02.000 on the way. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.359 It could just be a regular game, Nicks win semi comfortably, 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.639 and then this is the game that will be the 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:09.600 defining moment. 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:09.920 Yeah. 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.600 Yeah, it's like David Tyree's catch didn't win the Super Bowl, 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:20.760 Plexico burus Is touchdown did and having been there for 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.920 that as well, like you you know some of those 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:28.640 Super Bowl moments. The Roethlisberger throw to Santonio Holmes. Boy, 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.440 that's up there. That is a throw that I don't know. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.960 Maybe there's two or three quarterbacks who can make that throw. 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:41.639 Maybe maybe, but in that moment to win a Super Bowl, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.120 it's pretty good. Yeah. More the Ray Allen shot Game six. 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.200 Ray I went there for that, but yeah, Ray Ray 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.960 with that? All right, let me take a break. Got 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:55.639 more phone calls? How do the Spurs respond? Stanley Cup tonight? 0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.360 This's been a wild series as well. Uh and hour 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.479 Roger Bennett get us ready for the World Cup. The 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.160 primer for the World Cup.

Football? 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:55.240 Nice? 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.160 Yeah? Football, Cody coming up next next hour? Yeah, Paul. 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.600 But isn't Roger Bennett from Mennon Blazers now American? Would 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:03.960 he use football or soccer? 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.280 I think he'd use soccer here? Maybe football over there. 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.480 We'll talk from soccer, what would be what is the 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.639 storyline in the World Cup? The number one storyline in 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.960 the World Cup? And also what would be a great 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.479 showing for Team USA that'll be coming up next down. 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:28.720 How do the Spurs respond? We've credited them because they're 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.480 young and they may not know what they're supposed to 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:36.439 know or not know. Now you come home, this is 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.400 where you go. Okay, let's just take care of business. 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.120 We don't need style points. We just need to win 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.960 the game. Then you take your chances going back to 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:50.480 the garden. If that's the case, then I think once 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.480 again that pressure goes back on the Knicks. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.680 If it goes back to the garden, I. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:58.080 Know you're up three to two, but now the Knicks 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.800 seem to play better when they're on the road. That 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:05.000 atmosphere seems to get to them. They don't start well. 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.199 Karl Anthony Towns picks up two quick fouls, and I'm thinking, Okay, 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.240 this is your blueprint. Get him in foul trouble, get 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.800 Wemby in the paint, and then the second half, nobody's 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.679 in the paint, nobody's trying to score, nobody's you know, 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.280 from the standpoint of taking it to the hoop, I mean, 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.000 there are a lot of things that had to unfold 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.679 on both ends for this to happen. Because we love 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.760 to ask the question, well, did they lose or did 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:36.000 they win? You can get up, I'm gonna give you credit, 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.240 But then you allowed them to come back. And if 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:44.200 you think about it, the Spurs' worst case scenario should 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:49.119 have won by ten, Like that's worst case scenario, maybe nine, 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.840 maybe eight, And then you say, wow, you guys blew 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.640 a twenty point lead, not a twenty nine point lead. 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.439 But I think the shocking part of it is, and 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.639 you don't know how younger players, well, players in general, 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:07.119 are going to respond when there's so much pressure. Every 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.520 possession now matters. We're up by twenty nine, this is awesome. 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:13.840 And then all of a sudden, we're up by twenty. 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:17.520 It's still awesome. We're up by twelve, it's not as 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.080 awesome as it was. And then it got to single digits. 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:25.920 That's when you knew. This is when you get tight 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.919
