Speaker 2: My Golden Knights at the Hurricanes Game two coming up tonight.
Speaker 2: Last night, the Knicks over the Spurs by ten. There
Speaker 2: was a twenty four point turnaround. The Knicks were down
Speaker 2: by fourteen and then all of a sudden they end
Speaker 2: up winning by ten. The scary part is now the
Speaker 2: Spurs won't play this badly, but the Knicks will play
Speaker 2: better because Brunson didn't have a great game for the
Speaker 2: first three quarters. But you want to talk about a closer,
Speaker 2: and there's very few of these players. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of guys who were great those first three quarters. Fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson has been unbelievable and the numbers back this up.
Speaker 2: In the fourth quarter this postseason, he's shooting fifty nine
Speaker 2: percent from the floor, sixty two percent from three point range,
Speaker 2: ninety three percent from the free throw line. He has
Speaker 2: every shot he's got, you know, go right, shoot left,
Speaker 2: go left, shoot left, pull up, little tear drop. He
Speaker 2: can shoot the three. And he didn't have a good
Speaker 2: game last night. I mean, that's the scary part. The
Speaker 2: Spurs and Victor wemben Yama looked a little spent, and
Speaker 2: understandably so. But Wemby is settling for threes that can't happen.
Speaker 2: He's got to go inside to then go outside. You
Speaker 2: gotta put some people in foul trouble. I don't want
Speaker 2: you shooting threes. Now you can shoot threes, I don't
Speaker 2: want you taking nine threes. Dearon Fox has to act
Speaker 2: like a guy who's getting paid fifty million dollars a year,
Speaker 2: because that's an embarrassing notion. I didn't understand. It felt
Speaker 2: like Dylan Harper was the best player on the floor
Speaker 2: there for a while, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I go, where is Dylan Harper? So there were a
Speaker 2: few things that were kind of puzzling last night. But
Speaker 2: Darren Fox, now this is a guy who once won
Speaker 2: the Clutch Player of the Year award back in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two. Twenty twenty three, Harper scores sixteen, their leading
Speaker 2: scorer midway through three quarters. He plays four minutes in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. I don't know if there was something else,
Speaker 2: if there's injury, if there's analytics, but I was puzzled
Speaker 2: by that. Carl Anthony Towns, come on down. You played great,
Speaker 2: and this is what you wanted from Chad Holmgren. You
Speaker 2: wanted aggression, and this is what Karl Anthony Towns did.
Speaker 2: He took it to Victor Winbinyama and lived to tell
Speaker 2: about it. That was one of the big differences, Josh Hart.
Speaker 2: If you look at the stats and you go, man,
Speaker 2: not a good shooting night. He did everything else. We
Speaker 2: talked about this a couple of weeks ago. Every team
Speaker 2: has one of these guys. If you're winning a championship,
Speaker 2: you gotta have one of these guys. Could be Caruso
Speaker 2: with OKC. I mean, down through history, championship teams have
Speaker 2: one of these guys. You had fifteen rebounds, you have
Speaker 2: six assists, four steals. He was plus twenty two when
Speaker 2: he was on the floor. A glue guys what we
Speaker 2: called them, but man, every loose ball. I was surprised
Speaker 2: if somebody else got a loose ball when he was
Speaker 2: on the floor. He was that impressive. Here is Jalen
Speaker 2: Brunson being asked about the comeback, and you.
Speaker 3: Guys comebacks in so many games. Resilience has been the
Speaker 3: story of your season. Is there a sense of calm
Speaker 3: or familiarity when you're in that situation, you know, trailing
Speaker 3: in the second half. I don't want to say calm this,
Speaker 3: but I think we know what we have to do.
Speaker 3: I think we're a pretty together group, be able to
Speaker 3: trust each other and still just get to you to
Speaker 3: fight out each other's back, and just know that we
Speaker 3: gotta keep chipping away, chippy away. It's a credit to
Speaker 3: the ben teller we have as a team. But I
Speaker 3: mean we catch just be satisfied that we have a
Speaker 3: long way to go. We a lot of things we
Speaker 3: can do to be better, but have it begin with
Speaker 3: a win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this isn't a coincidence. This is who they are.
Speaker 2: This is their identity. Down twenty two, we'll come back,
Speaker 2: down fourteen NBA Finals, We'll come back. And that's one
Speaker 2: of those each possession, this is what coaches tell you.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna have a ten point play. Each possession,
Speaker 2: each possession, chip away, chip away, chip away. And that's
Speaker 2: what they did last night. But when you look at
Speaker 2: the Spurs, I looked at their turnovers. Half of their turnovers.
Speaker 2: We're in the fourth quarter. That's a tired team. And
Speaker 2: I give credit to the Knicks. You know, they put
Speaker 2: the pressure on them, even Jalen Brunson was playing defense.
Speaker 2: Now I don't stats can lie sometimes, but according to
Speaker 2: the Mothership, the Spurs were one for fourteen with Jalen
Speaker 2: Brunson as the primary defender, including zero for seven in
Speaker 2: the second half. When did he become Gary Payton? I mean,
Speaker 2: do you want that? Because we've heard all along Kat
Speaker 2: and Brunson don't play defense very well. Last night, I
Speaker 2: didn't think the Knicks played well. I think they played
Speaker 2: well when they needed to, and the Spurs got to
Speaker 2: figure out exactly what is their game plan and stick
Speaker 2: to it because it felt like, hey, this guy comes in,
Speaker 2: because that's what we've done all along, We're going to
Speaker 2: take that guy out. It felt analytical. It felt a
Speaker 2: little too you know, like think analytic dependent, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4: And another thing was I thought somebody like Jose Alvarado
Speaker 4: had a really big end of the first half when
Speaker 4: Brunston got hurt with that knee injury, when Harrison Barnes
Speaker 4: went into his knee and he came in to sub in,
Speaker 4: he came up big here, like seven points. And if
Speaker 4: you get seven points from Jose Alvarado, yeah, that's huge.
Speaker 4: Landry Shammon thirteen points. If you get twenty points out
Speaker 4: of those guys, that is huge because you're not expecting
Speaker 4: that from night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Knicks fans have reminded me. Didn't you say the
Speaker 2: Knicks didn't have a great bench yet? You're right, I did,
Speaker 2: but they did last night and we talked about this.
Speaker 2: There is something about this team and it is a team.
Speaker 2: It is a team. When I talk about Spurs, I
Speaker 2: usual just talked about Victor Webbenyama with the Knicks. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's bruns and heavy, but it is a true team.
Speaker 2: Og nanobe like, you're gonna ask these guys to just
Speaker 2: give me something, and it might be your defense against Wemby.
Speaker 2: It might be, you know, give me five minutes, come
Speaker 2: in and spell this guy. Whatever it is, the Knicks
Speaker 2: will play better, but the Spurs better. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 5: The other thing I was wondering you mentioned this before
Speaker 5: not playing Dylan Harper much in the fourth quarter. Do
Speaker 5: you think that's some type of analytics play where you
Speaker 5: stick to the plan that got you where you are now?
Speaker 2: I hope not.
Speaker 5: It felt like it, yeah, because could you analytics people
Speaker 5: ignore their gut? I would assume, I believe, so. I
Speaker 5: don't like that at all.
Speaker 2: I think there's just a feeling sometimes you've been at
Speaker 2: a game, or maybe you've been in a game where
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you just go it's my night,
Speaker 2: or it's not my night, it's not our night, and
Speaker 2: you might have to disrupt that. But it felt like
Speaker 2: Dylan Harper was the best player on the floor for
Speaker 2: a little while there and then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: he didn't get to play. Yes, uh, yes, touch and analytics.
Speaker 6: Often to me speak to normally in this situation or
Speaker 6: generally or usually it is no definites even with numbers,
Speaker 6: so there is room for or gut instinct though as
Speaker 6: far as what you're saying, it's an off night or
Speaker 6: I just have a thing, this guy should be playing
Speaker 6: more minutes, So this one needs.
Speaker 7: To come out, yes, Dylan, Yeah, and analytics makes more
Speaker 7: sense in uh, slower paced sports like football and baseball.
Speaker 7: But there's basketball such a momentum thing and it's constant,
Speaker 7: so it's like there's a flow, particularly in the playoffs,
Speaker 7: where it's like sometimes you just got to use some intuition.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I agree with that that baseball is
Speaker 2: a matchup and it's a pitch and then you you know,
Speaker 2: everything slowed down. This is I mean, you want to
Speaker 2: use analytics playing blackjack, I'm fine with that, but there's
Speaker 2: a flow to the game, there's a there is a
Speaker 2: gut feeling, and I think gut feeling should override analytics
Speaker 2: at times, and it you know, you're dependent on that
Speaker 2: and it's like you got a notebook and it tells
Speaker 2: you what to do. But it felt like there was
Speaker 2: something that was off. Also, at the very end of
Speaker 2: the game, Jalen Brunson goes to Scott Foster and he
Speaker 2: said something, but he he's saying something to Scott Foster,
Speaker 2: but he's saying it past Scott Foster, like something is
Speaker 2: going on here. And I didn't know if he was
Speaker 2: complaining about he was getting banged up, because you know,
Speaker 2: he got banged up twice last night. But Chris Haynes,
Speaker 2: great NBA reporter, is going to join us next hour,
Speaker 2: and he talked to Brunson about that moment, So I
Speaker 2: don't know what was going on. But he was animated
Speaker 2: is too strong of a word, but he was bothered
Speaker 2: by something. Now, I don't know, it's not like Scott
Speaker 2: Foster goes, you know, hey, why are you yelling at me?
Speaker 2: Or don't be talking to me that way. He was
Speaker 2: saying something as if was there something in the crowd.
Speaker 2: It was just a moment that I thought was out
Speaker 2: of character for Jalen Brunson. But we'll find out about
Speaker 2: that coming up next hour. Your phone calls are welcome.
Speaker 2: You got to pull question for the first hour of
Speaker 2: the program, Dylan.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we have a couple Dan for starters. What was
Speaker 7: the bigger impact on the game last night, the Knicks
Speaker 7: playing well or the Spurs playing objectively not well.
Speaker 2: Well, I think the Knicks made the Spurs not play well,
Speaker 2: So I'm giving the Knicks the credit here. They played.
Speaker 2: They played like I expected them to play. I thought
Speaker 2: Brunson would be better. He didn't play well early, but
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, it's fourth quarter, game on
Speaker 2: the line, ball in his hands. Things happen, Karl Anthony
Speaker 2: Towns being aggressive, Josh Hart being aggressive, OG and Nnobi
Speaker 2: being aggressive, guys coming off the bench contributing. I mean,
Speaker 2: if you can win games and Brunson doesn't play like
Speaker 2: we expect him to get thirty five, that's kind of
Speaker 2: scary because you've already got the split here in San Antonio.
Speaker 2: Now you're five and a half point underdogs coming up
Speaker 2: in Game two, which doesn't matter to the Knicks, but
Speaker 2: I'm just saying this for the betting crowd. You've already
Speaker 2: gotten what you wanted to get here. Now you go
Speaker 2: for the jugular. Now you go, Hey, you know what,
Speaker 2: let's push them even harder this time around. Uh. If not,
Speaker 2: you go back to the garden, and the garden is
Speaker 2: going to be waiting. I think that'll be an interesting
Speaker 2: element here of the aggression. You know, the spurs. I
Speaker 2: don't know where you get your energy from. If you
Speaker 2: don't have it in game one, where are you getting
Speaker 2: it in game two? Yes? Doing Yeah, And.
Speaker 7: It's like the Knicks are basically playing with house money relative.
Speaker 7: You know, you go in to San Antonio as underdogs
Speaker 7: when a slug fest in game one, and it's like,
Speaker 7: whatever happens next game? If they lose, we're back to
Speaker 7: square one.
Speaker 2: What's what are the other pool questions?
Speaker 7: Paula sent one over. Okay, if you need a two
Speaker 7: to win a playoff game, who are you taking Jalen Brunson,
Speaker 7: Shag Gilgess, Alexander Luka, Doncic or other?
Speaker 2: Well, it's gonna be recency biased. I would take Brunson
Speaker 2: because I've seen it happen late in games, and that's
Speaker 2: if you're talking about, Hey, you got a you're taking
Speaker 2: a two here. Well, I'm assuming we're not talking about
Speaker 2: first three quarters. We're talking about late in the game.
Speaker 2: Brunson gets his shot, and he's got every shot. Now,
Speaker 2: I know Luca has every shot. Shay gilgis no not
Speaker 2: necessarily a great three point shooter. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: guys who can get points, get buckets. But I've seen
Speaker 2: Brunson do this at a very high level, and I
Speaker 2: would I would take him. He has this inate ability.
Speaker 2: And I talked to Reggie Miller about this. It's you
Speaker 2: gotta know angles and Paulie and I talk about Chris Paul.
Speaker 2: Chris Paul wasn't really that athletic. He wasn't big, he
Speaker 2: wasn't strong, he wasn't quick, not a jumper. He just
Speaker 2: floated and he looked for the angle. He looked for
Speaker 2: his spot. And that's what Brunson does. Steve Nash used
Speaker 2: to do this. Nash would go underneath the basket, you know,
Speaker 2: like Gretzky would get behind the net and then feed
Speaker 2: his teammates. Steve Nash would just kind of room and
Speaker 2: then they look for their moment. And that's what Brunson does.
Speaker 2: It's I need to get to that spot, or if
Speaker 2: I don't get there, I can get there. He always
Speaker 2: has a plan B and I think that's the beauty
Speaker 2: of seeing creative scores. And he is truly a creative
Speaker 2: score because he has to be. It's not like he
Speaker 2: can go I'm Durant. I'm seven foot and I'm you know,
Speaker 2: seven to nine wingspan. See if you can get my shot.
Speaker 2: Runson's not a big guy.
Speaker 7: Yes, Jim Durant though, prime Durant. If you need a
Speaker 7: two to win a game? Oh maybe all time?
Speaker 2: He yes, absolutely, Yeah, he's one of the greatest scorers
Speaker 2: all time. I mean, you're not picking somebody where I go.
Speaker 2: I didn't think of him. Kevin Durant. How many points
Speaker 2: has he scored? I don't know, thirty thousand? Couple? All right, Well,
Speaker 2: take a break. Phone calls coming up, settle on a
Speaker 2: poll question. Got a busy day on this Thursday. We're
Speaker 2: back after this.

Speaker 2: question not answered last night. You got Keldon Johnson sixth
Speaker 2: Man of the Year. You play him eight minutes four
Speaker 2: minutes less than Harrison Barnes two minutes less and Luke
Speaker 2: Cornett okay, uh? The darn Fox mystery. Dylan Harper sitting out,
Speaker 2: not really playing much in the fourth quarter four minutes.
Speaker 2: So some puzzling movements there last night as it kind
Speaker 2: of melted down for the Spurs. There's a fan that
Speaker 2: ran on to the court taking a selfie with Victor Wendanyama.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised we don't have more of that in the
Speaker 2: NBA because of the proximity of the seats. You know,
Speaker 2: where a football stadium, baseball stadium. You know you have
Speaker 2: to jump over, jump down, run too basketball. You're kind
Speaker 2: of right there. No nobody in the front row is
Speaker 2: going to do it because they don't want to give
Speaker 2: up those expensive seats first five rows. You're not going
Speaker 2: to be doing that. But somebody ran on the floor
Speaker 2: taking a selfie with Victor wen Danyama ushrim off police, Like, oh,
Speaker 2: there should be a moment where these security guys get
Speaker 2: to rough him up and I go, no, no, no, I.
Speaker 5: Would not be polite with him as he's escorted off
Speaker 5: the floor. They should make sure that he was really
Speaker 5: close to Wemby, like arm's length and security. I know
Speaker 5: doesn't expect it, but don't. I don't think he deserves politeness.
Speaker 5: Anyone deserves politeness when they run.
Speaker 2: On the floor. Well, you won't get politeness when we
Speaker 2: get you out of the specter of eighteen thousand fans. Now,
Speaker 2: you just don't let him back in. He doesn't get
Speaker 2: to go back to a game. That's it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Dylan, I feel like it feels different if it's
Speaker 7: like a girl runs onto the court, it feels like
Speaker 7: less of like a potentially threatening thing than a guy.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you can't think that way. No, I
Speaker 2: mean MORGANA the Kissing Bandit used to do this all
Speaker 2: the time. But MORGANA was a very endowed stripper. I
Speaker 2: think we're retired stripper. There you go and she I
Speaker 2: mean it would take her a while to get to,
Speaker 2: you know, Nolan Ryan on the mound. I g'd be like,
Speaker 2: and here she comes Morgan of the Okay, I got that.
Speaker 2: But then when guys run on the football field, I
Speaker 2: have no problem with you tackling them. I mean, in
Speaker 2: that environment, you can tackle them. And now I hope
Speaker 2: football players don't do that, but if they happen to,
Speaker 2: it's okay. Run on the field. Hey, look at me.
Speaker 2: Baseball guys running in the outfield running away from security guys, yes,
Speaker 2: time and.
Speaker 7: Security I would think are trained.
Speaker 8: They have to assume the worst.
Speaker 6: This person isn't necessarily going to just look for a
Speaker 6: photo or shake someone's hand and hug them.
Speaker 8: You know, I don't know what they got carrying in
Speaker 8: their in their pocket.
Speaker 2: By the way, that's quite an outfit you got on today.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 8: I'm on the Mix of City Dance team.
Speaker 6: With my wristbands.
Speaker 2: You look like if there's an AARP version of the
Speaker 2: Knicks dance team. Well, no, just your age, but you
Speaker 2: have your Knicks shirt on.
Speaker 6: I got Nicks pants and I got Royal blue wristbands
Speaker 6: and it's kind of goofy, but I thought I dress
Speaker 6: you know, I like to play dress up at the
Speaker 6: news of the day, you know, warrants.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's called playing dress up.
Speaker 7: I called play dress up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, for a fifty six year old man to put
Speaker 6: on something that like maybe you know, a seven year
Speaker 6: old would wear, that's gonna questionable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you are a diehard Knicks fan.
Speaker 8: I'm all about the Knicks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, Paul, Okay, let's be the jury for this
Speaker 5: young man who ran on the court. I looked it
Speaker 5: up and I don't think he's been given a punishment yet.
Speaker 5: But here are some of the recent punishments for people
Speaker 5: have run on the court in the NBA. The home
Speaker 5: team can ban him for life or for the rest
Speaker 5: of the season. There could be criminal charges for trespass
Speaker 5: or disorderly conduct, or a league wide ban. The entire
Speaker 5: NBA can bar the individual. What would you guys do?
Speaker 5: Just not let him come back in the arena.
Speaker 2: That's it. I mean, do I give him a lifetime ban.
Speaker 2: I'd have to know more about him. It's not a
Speaker 2: big deal to me. Like he came on the floor, Okay,
Speaker 2: something stupid happens, nobody got hurt. Take him off the floor.
Speaker 2: You don't let him back for a year? Great? Move on? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 2: uh Marvin, I'm going.
Speaker 8: With a lifetime band.
Speaker 4: I grew up with the motto, you play stupid games,
Speaker 4: you win stupid prizes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I got I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, I saw it. It's unfortunate it happens. Get
Speaker 2: him off the floor, move on, Yes, Dylan, What.
Speaker 7: Do you think would be the most fun one to do?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 7: Which one to run on? I play baseball, right, you
Speaker 7: get to run, maybe get the second base, round one
Speaker 7: of the bases and before you get tackled. I know,
Speaker 7: so running on taking a selfie? I once he had
Speaker 7: to do one. No, I wouldn't do any of them.
Speaker 7: Never even thought about it. Like, man, I could run
Speaker 7: right there.
Speaker 2: I could jump over and run onto the field and
Speaker 2: then do what.
Speaker 7: Well, there was that guy who at the super Bowl
Speaker 7: he met on there to be a streaker at the
Speaker 7: super Bowl and then he's sat the game. That's pretty brilliant.
Speaker 7: I'm sure they probably took They probably canceled the bet
Speaker 7: after they found out that he fixed it.
Speaker 4: But yes, Marvin, I know who should have gotten fired
Speaker 4: the security at the Atlanta Braves when Hank Aaron hit
Speaker 4: seven fifteen and those two guys came on. Hank Aaron
Speaker 4: was getting death threats here, I know, and you let
Speaker 4: these two guys on, like who's watching?
Speaker 2: And apparently they had snipers up on the roof of
Speaker 2: Fulton County Stadium because they were worried about something happening
Speaker 2: with Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's record. Okay, there's more
Speaker 2: at stake there. He got death threats, hate mail, so
Speaker 2: the Braves were well aware this was a black player
Speaker 2: breaking a white player's all time record. So there's two
Speaker 2: guys that meet him at shortstop unfortunately and ruin the
Speaker 2: moment for one of my heroes. And at home plate,
Speaker 2: Craig Sager is the guy in the white trench code
Speaker 2: holding a radio microphone. They should have kicked Sager out
Speaker 2: of there too. He's there at home plate with Hank
Speaker 2: Aaron crossing home plate. Craig Sager's there with a trench
Speaker 2: coat and he's holding a little microphone. I don't even
Speaker 2: know if Seger was on radio any place. I don't
Speaker 2: think Seger ever got in trouble with that. But these
Speaker 2: two knuckleheads who are rounding the bases with Hank Aaron
Speaker 2: when he got to short stop, and you can see
Speaker 2: Hank trying to knock them off like they're patting him
Speaker 2: on the back. He doesn't know. I mean, they showed
Speaker 2: some of the letters that he got during that home
Speaker 2: run chase. Embarrassing, sad and here he is breaking that
Speaker 2: record and two guys run on the field. What do
Speaker 2: you think Hank is thinking? And that was a sad,
Speaker 2: sad moment that they took away one of the great
Speaker 2: moments of his life.
Speaker 5: Yeah, pol, going back to last night, I just watched
Speaker 5: the play again with the fan ran out of the court.
Speaker 5: The ball was in play, it wasn't between shots or
Speaker 5: something like that. So the Knicks actually got penalized a
Speaker 5: bit on the play because Dylan Harper threw the ball.
Speaker 5: The Knicks were about to complete a steal, but the
Speaker 5: ball was not in anyone's hands, so the refs had
Speaker 5: to talk and do a jump ball that the Spurs
Speaker 5: got back. So the Knicks actually lost a possession on
Speaker 5: that play.
Speaker 2: Age seven seven to three DP show email address DP
Speaker 2: at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handled a DP show
Speaker 2: Did we settle on a pull question? Dylany?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got those two up right now. Do you
Speaker 7: want some early results?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sure, why not?
Speaker 7: Bigger impact on the game last night? Fifty three percent
Speaker 7: say the Spurs playing poorly over the Knicks playing well?
Speaker 7: All right, and then if you need to to win
Speaker 7: a playoff game, who are you taking Jalen Brunson, Sga,
Speaker 7: Luka Donci or other little recency bias. Jalen Brunson's got
Speaker 7: thirty seven percent.
Speaker 2: Now, if you said you got first pick and you
Speaker 2: take Jalen Brunson and I get Sga, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that because Sga is more unstoppable but
Speaker 2: runs in big game fourth quarter. It's not a coincidence.
Speaker 2: He finds a way to find a bucket. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 7: What about this? What if you need a guy to
Speaker 7: flop at the end of the game to go to
Speaker 7: the line. Who you're taking Brunson or Sga?
Speaker 2: Uh? Sga?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of writing the book on that, like
Speaker 2: an instructional video. And Sga teaching you how to flop.

Speaker 2: Chris and Syrahcuse starts us off this morning. Good morning, Chris, Hey.
Speaker 9: Thank you. Danny had a few comments on last night's game,
Speaker 9: And if you watch that clip of Hank Aaron, he
Speaker 9: looked very nervous when that happened, and in fands, we're
Speaker 9: very vocal. Last night at times they took over the crowd.
Speaker 9: And yeah, when that nut job came on the floor
Speaker 9: for the selfie with Wemby, Wemby's so tall, he only
Speaker 9: got as high as Wemby's jersey, and it was too
Speaker 9: bad because Wemby had a little smirk on his face
Speaker 9: like he was kind of entertained by it. Yeah, Wemby
Speaker 9: really takes everything and strive. And last night the Spurs
Speaker 9: looked a little overwhelmed by the moment and in contrast,
Speaker 9: the next looked like the veteran team in comparison, which
Speaker 9: they are. And I agree with you, Dan totally. Kat
Speaker 9: to me was the key factor in that game. He
Speaker 9: kept the Knicks in it defensively and offensively till brunts
Speaker 9: and heated up and Yeah, to me, Karl Anthony Towns
Speaker 9: was the MVP last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was aggressive. That's what I wanted. Take it
Speaker 2: to Wemby and just continued to do that. You know,
Speaker 2: and sometimes it can be really simplistic, like it's not intricate.
Speaker 2: It's not like the triangle offense. It's just we need
Speaker 2: you to do this tonight, or this guy isn't scoring,
Speaker 2: we need you to help score. But I thought San
Speaker 2: Antonio looked tired, and certainly in the fourth quarter, your
Speaker 2: shot us are short and there's turnovers. That's a tired team.
Speaker 2: Lucas Texas, Hi, Luke, Hey, then good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2: You know, a couple of quick comments about the game.
Speaker 2: You kind of mentioned already this was a roster win.
Speaker 2: It felt like if you felt like the Knicks roster
Speaker 2: overall played better. I think there were two key.
Speaker 10: Moments and you kind of alluded to it. It was
Speaker 10: in the third quarter. I think the Spurs were up
Speaker 10: by something like thirteen. Wimby came out for a couple
Speaker 10: of minutes and that's where Kat really got aggressive. I
Speaker 10: think they got a quick eight points. It's just remarkable
Speaker 10: how instantaneously their offensive mindset switched and they were much
Speaker 10: more aggressive in the paint with Wimby out. That was
Speaker 10: really great to see. The second thing was gruntson towards
Speaker 10: the end. Obviously he's just a master of the backboard,
Speaker 10: of just the angles that you were saying. But I
Speaker 10: think the big reason why he's so much more likable
Speaker 10: than SGA style of plays, even though he was also
Speaker 10: trying to get to the line trying to get some fouls,
Speaker 10: it felt like he never lost the chance to try
Speaker 10: to actually make the basket, Like making the basket was
Speaker 10: more important than the potential of two free throws. He
Speaker 10: was always about two and one, and so I think
Speaker 10: that's why it's just a lot more endearing. It just
Speaker 10: felt a lot more competitive from him than a lot
Speaker 10: of SGA stuff over the last couple.
Speaker 2: Of weeks, Thank you, Lucas. Victor had twenty six twelve
Speaker 2: three blocks, but he had six turnovers. I mean, these
Speaker 2: are nice numbers, but this is where you watch a
Speaker 2: game and you get a different feel than just seeing
Speaker 2: highlights and looking at the box score, because if you
Speaker 2: watch the game, you're like, damn, Josh hart is everywhere
Speaker 2: you look at the box score. He didn't shoot well,
Speaker 2: but he did everything else. And if he can give
Speaker 2: you a surprising number in any of those categories, it's
Speaker 2: such a value. Like what do you need for me
Speaker 2: to do? We need you to rebound, all right, we
Speaker 2: need you to distribute. Okay, because this is when the
Speaker 2: chess match really starts. This next game, this is when
Speaker 2: it starts because New York is going to expect something.
Speaker 2: The question is what is Mike Brown expecting and what
Speaker 2: is san Antonio going to give them? What is going
Speaker 2: to be different? I would say to Wemby, no threes.
Speaker 2: No threes to start the first first half. No threes inside.
Speaker 2: Now if he hits him, I might be saying something different,
Speaker 2: but we've said before. I want him inside to then
Speaker 2: come outside. I want you to establish yourself, get some
Speaker 2: fouls called, and then then if you go out on
Speaker 2: the perimeter, you want to take some threes. Great. It
Speaker 2: felt like he was settling, like he was running kind
Speaker 2: of from three point line to three point line, and
Speaker 2: I don't want him out guarding somebody outside the three
Speaker 2: point line. You've got the reach there, come back. I
Speaker 2: want you. He was expending too much energy on things
Speaker 2: that he didn't need to. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 4: I thought the big thing was he's got to defend Cat.
Speaker 4: So he had his arms up and Cat pump fakes
Speaker 4: and kept driving to the basket. And he's making him
Speaker 4: work on the defensive end. And even those guys were
Speaker 4: getting good looks at the basket because Wenby had to
Speaker 4: stay out there with Cat, because Cat with a Triller
Speaker 4: three pointer is money out there, game changer.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I want you tired. I want them running Wemby
Speaker 2: Rick in Vegas, Hi, Rick, what do you have for
Speaker 2: me today?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 2: Dan, thanks for calling me.
Speaker 11: I got a conspiracy theory for you. So you notice
Speaker 11: how I call it the Fritzy curse because you notice
Speaker 11: how like McLevin was in the back row, then Seating
Speaker 11: and now Dylan. Well, mclovin and Seatan are both gone.
Speaker 11: How long before Delan's gone? And just for for Fritzie's
Speaker 11: purpose A little rhyme, right, because it's mclob ben, cheat
Speaker 11: Pin and Delan. All I can say is Marvin staying
Speaker 11: in the front row.
Speaker 2: Brother, Wow? Wow, very interesting.
Speaker 7: Yeah, different kind of numerology there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kiss of death back here, I know, deep dive
Speaker 2: on the back road. Let's see Seth in West Virginia, Hi, Seth,
Speaker 2: Hey Dan, thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 12: So yesterday, as you and Todd celebrated your anniversary, my wife,
Speaker 12: Courtney and I celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary. It's
Speaker 12: been of a tradition over the last couple of years
Speaker 12: that Fritzy Sarah neades us with a little Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 12: So if he can give us a little squawk off,
Speaker 12: it would be much appreciated. Thanks, guys, keep up all
Speaker 12: the good work.
Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you, Seth, Todd, you got it
Speaker 2: in you to.
Speaker 8: Have to sit put out a kiss of bed heaving by.
Speaker 4: Well the split up against its tuve gone by.
Speaker 6: Now all right, heppy anniversary, Oh yeah, all right, all right,
Speaker 6: come on now.
Speaker 10: Okay real oh now.
Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin, sorry, going back to the game real fast.
Speaker 4: When Web put it on the floor, those guys were
Speaker 4: in the cookie. Their hands were all in the cookie
Speaker 4: jars Alvarado, Heart Annobe Michel Bridges. So they won't lett
Speaker 4: him get a clean drive to the basket because he
Speaker 4: kept putting it on the floor.
Speaker 8: Yes, when it's on the floor, it's fair game.
Speaker 2: Whenever a big man puts the ball on the floor,
Speaker 2: go get it. Yes, still and back.
Speaker 7: To Todd for a second. That was my first live
Speaker 7: Bruce Springsteen. I think getting to like watch it in person.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's yeah, how did it feel? He gets very pink.
Speaker 2: There's definitely some veins popping. Yeah, well he's got the
Speaker 2: guns popping today with that T shirt.
Speaker 6: Man, no little stuck in the waist, in the hips
Speaker 6: in a lot of places.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's very form fitting.
Speaker 6: You gotta find the shirt where it's tight on the
Speaker 6: arms and chest and then a lot more forgiving as
Speaker 6: you go down.
Speaker 2: I think you need blousey. I think that's the word
Speaker 2: you're looking.
Speaker 7: For, and there's a company that does that. It's like
Speaker 7: the sleeves are and then it's like it hides your
Speaker 7: gut in the middle. I forget the name of it,
Speaker 7: but I think they made a killing Oh okay, true classic.
Speaker 7: Oh maybe that's it. Yeah, I don't know. I saw
Speaker 7: them as like, that's brilliant. It's like spanks for dudes.
Speaker 6: Like the untuck it because it's a brutal If I
Speaker 6: try to tuck in a shirt, that's just not a
Speaker 6: good Stine.
Speaker 2: Well, it's good that you don't have to tuck in
Speaker 2: a shirt anymore. Like it's okay, Like there was that
Speaker 2: point where you go, man, so I can untuck my
Speaker 2: shirt and it's okay. I don't know when that started,
Speaker 2: but it has to be a decade right where you go, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's okay, you can walk with your shirt tail out. Yes, put.
Speaker 5: I hesitate to bring this up, but what do you
Speaker 5: guys think about white sneakers with suits on TV?
Speaker 7: Hate it?
Speaker 5: It kills the suit. You could have a thousand dollars
Speaker 5: suit on it and if you're wearing white sneakers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can find thousand dollars white sneakers too. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's like it's not for me. If I'm getting if
Speaker 2: I'm putting a suit on, then I'm gonna put dress
Speaker 2: shoes on.
Speaker 5: It's bad tires on a Porsche. That's what it is
Speaker 5: to me.
Speaker 2: But I get at my daughter's wedding, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: wear a tuxedo in there. Then wear sneakers.
Speaker 7: No sneakers and tuxedo would be a wild combo.
Speaker 2: But I've been to weddings where you get guys who
Speaker 2: wear the low top Chuck Taylor black Converse with their tuxedos.
Speaker 7: This was in Brooklyn, right, No, the hipsters. Yeah, yes, marvn.
Speaker 4: I went to a wedding where the groom and all
Speaker 4: the grooms men wore air Jordan elevens with their tuxis.
Speaker 4: And the thing was the wife already knew. She was like,
Speaker 4: she has to know.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you can't surprise her. Yeah you want. No,
Speaker 2: there's going to be surprises at your wedding on or
Speaker 2: your reception. There will be. You just want to make
Speaker 2: sure you clue your wife in on what doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be a surprise. Yes, yes, I.
Speaker 7: Can't imagine that pitch being like, all right, sweetheart, So
Speaker 7: the entire groomsmen are gonna look like the cast of
Speaker 7: Space Jam for the wedding, all wearing Jordan elevens. I
Speaker 7: don't know that. I feel like the wife to be
Speaker 7: would care about that.
Speaker 2: Well, she might not, but you have to run a buyer.
Speaker 2: You can't go. I got a surprise for you. I
Speaker 2: had a friend that they wrote h ELP on the
Speaker 2: bottom of his shoes, so when he's kneeling at the altar,
Speaker 2: everybody started laughing because they put help on the bottom
Speaker 2: of his shoes. Yes, Martin, that was the.
Speaker 4: Only request that he had. And the thing was the
Speaker 4: wife like I know both of him. She was like, well,
Speaker 4: I know who I'm married. Yeah, right, Like, if you
Speaker 4: know him, you know he's gonna wear these like it
Speaker 4: is fine. And if you look at those shoes, they
Speaker 4: look clean, the patent leather. Those are the sneakers that
Speaker 4: you would wear.
Speaker 2: I'm alright with that.
Speaker 7: Were they the conquered elevens.
Speaker 2: But you know, here's another thing. They don't do the
Speaker 2: cut the cake anymore at all. I've been to like
Speaker 2: three weddings recently and the bride and groom didn't cut
Speaker 2: the cake. They brought pieces of the cake out, but
Speaker 2: they didn't do the ceremony. I don't I don't know
Speaker 2: if they want to speed up, you know, the reception
Speaker 2: here we uh, due to time constraints, there will not
Speaker 2: be any cutting of the cake.
Speaker 4: Yes, Mark, have you ever have you ever been to
Speaker 4: a wedding where the bride and groom smashed each other?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, that's bad. It's bad because the bride spends
Speaker 2: so much time looking her best. I hate it, Yes, Ton, Well, if.
Speaker 6: They just put like a little bit on each other's
Speaker 6: cheek or nose, just a little fun shot to put
Speaker 6: for the.
Speaker 2: Feed each other, but not smash her in the face.
Speaker 5: Yes, if there is anyone who would be against wasting cake,
Speaker 5: you think it'd be tied.
Speaker 8: I'm finally just like a little did like a little
Speaker 8: cute thing.

Speaker 2: for me? Good morning, Dan? What's up? Dan?
Speaker 13: As then, the intensity of both hockey and NBA has
Speaker 13: been just phenomenal. I don't think we could have asked
Speaker 13: for a better final for both for both series going on.
Speaker 13: But I will say last night watching the San Antonio game,
Speaker 13: I felt like the New York crowd was dominated. It's
Speaker 13: almost like they had a play full of mixed fans
Speaker 13: that went down there specifically to hold it down. And
Speaker 13: it got to the point where I was thinking San
Speaker 13: Antonio fans just passive. I might be upsending a whole
Speaker 13: fan base, but in my opinion, you cannot let another
Speaker 13: fan bases go in there and run it. And I
Speaker 13: felt like they suck the air out of that arena.
Speaker 2: Well, they were loud, there were more Spurs fans, the
Speaker 2: Knicks fans were vocal. It's I can't overstate how important
Speaker 2: this is to the city of New York work. This
Speaker 2: fan base. This is crazy generational. They've had nothing at all.
Speaker 2: If you're under thirty, you've had nothing. Even older than that,
Speaker 2: I mean, you've had appearances in the NBA Finals, they
Speaker 2: didn't go well. You got to go back to nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy nineteen seventy three. It almost skipped another generation. And
Speaker 2: now you have a younger generation and they will not
Speaker 2: be denied. They will do They're gonna do whatever it
Speaker 2: takes to be those fans on the road at home
Speaker 2: to make sure that they win a title. Yes doing.
Speaker 7: I saw this from yesterday from boardroom. The cost to
Speaker 7: attend Game three of the NBA Finals at the Gardens
Speaker 7: in the four thousand dollars range. The cost the combined
Speaker 7: cost to attend all the remaining home games for the Yankees, Mets,
Speaker 7: New York Giants, and New York Jets this year is
Speaker 7: about four thousand dollars. Get in price and.
Speaker 2: You got something magical here, the potential for something magical. Yes.
