Episode Transcript
[00:00:04] Speaker A: What's up, everybody?
Another pod going down this week. We're recording Thursday. No, it's Wednesday night after game four, the NBA Finals. The Knicks. Dude, the Knicks came back from 20. Was it 28 or 29? 28.
[00:00:21] Speaker B: Doesn't really matter right now.
[00:00:22] Speaker A: It doesn't matter. It was the biggest comeback in NBA finalist history.
[00:00:27] Speaker B: And.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: And the spurs had, like, the third largest halftime lead after the Lakers. And I can't remember who else.
[00:00:35] Speaker B: Celtics.
[00:00:36] Speaker A: Celtics. Amazing, amazing game. I kind of missed the beginning of the third quarter when they started chopping down the lead. I took a long, hot shower. It's been a long day. Came back out like, oh, this is kind of interesting. Let's see what happens. They get it down.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: I guess you and the spurs had something in common. In the third quarter. You both took long ass showers. Because the spurs didn't come out after halftime.
[00:00:57] Speaker A: Apparently not. I missed that. I want to see now. I have to rewatch the whole game, but I did catch the end of the third. I'm like, 17. This is doable. This is doable. Okay, let's see what happens. And then they're kind of rocking back and forth, you know, not doing much for the first, you know, four or five minutes. Spurs kind of making some big shots and making some big plays. And then bam, they finally strike. The Knicks finally strike. Got it down to, I believe, like, single digits with, like, for the first time, I think it was like seven minutes to go. Gets back up to 11. They get it back down to single digits. Seven. This time with like five to go. I'm like, all right, seven and five.
Like, is this actually happening? The amount of shots that the Knicks finally hit down the stretch, absolutely amazing. And then the pressure, pressure breaks pipes. Seeing the spurs, not the spurs on their. On their boots, they.
They went dull. They couldn't kick the horse, and they just kind of fell apart. Little mistake here, little mistake there.
Big time plays.
Nobody's calling fouls on Wemby. Okay, whatever. Knicks prevailed and take game four in a absolute instant NBA classic. This Finals is so much fun. Me and Jason were talking about this last time. The NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Finals. Just absolute blockbuster hits. Dude, I am fucking loving it.
Uh, we can start there, unless you want to, like, break it up, Aaron. All right, so first of all, we got Jason back on the pod. We got Aaron back on the pod. We got the whole crew back on the pod. But Aaron's feeling a little spicy. He heard about the shit talking that Jason was doing the last pod.
[00:02:31] Speaker B: I didn't listen to the same.
On what fantasy? I mean, what's, what's Jason running his mouth about now on the fantasy?
[00:02:37] Speaker A: I just updated it so he has a 29 game lead on you.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: I was a 29 point lead. I mean, let's put it this way. If I come back and win the fantasy league, Jason won't be showing his face on the show for a while. I'll be doubling what the Knicks did. Coming, coming back by 20 guys like 58. He's got me up right now.
[00:02:52] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:02:54] Speaker C: I'm 21 ahead of second place Rome. That's what it is. Okay, a couple, a couple of points more.
[00:02:59] Speaker A: So that's a lot more. That's like, that's like Kimmy Antonelli and.
[00:03:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean my team is like a, like a George Russell dude. It's got a great engine, but just can't finish the race right now or I get some BS penalties Rome to start these games. But hey, my team's coming up a lot of injuries. I lost my three best pitchers all in the same week about a month ago. My pitching went from 45 points down to 30.
You know, that's just the facts of the league.
And so I had to trade away a good pitcher to get some hitting because my hitting was the worst of the league at the time. It's got a little bit better, a couple grand slams. I got two grand slams today. Missed a couple bonuses the other night because Jason's walked it off. So Matt Olson didn't get a chance for a third home run there and extra innings kind of cost me chance there. But yeah, I mean, it's, I'm glad Jason, you know, the student's learning from the teacher. He's learning how to run the league and he's, he's on his way to getting his first championship Rome, which is a congratulations for him if he gets it.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:03:57] Speaker C: So I got a lot of baseball left Rome. You know, since we recorded the pod, I, I lost pretty much the number one player in National League, only Fantasy o' Neill Cruz went on the injured list today, so.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: And he's losing the MVP before that and Drake Baldwin.
[00:04:11] Speaker C: So yeah, I lost Drake Baldwin. So yeah, before he got hurt, it was so, you know, we got, we got some injuries piling up Rome.
[00:04:20] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:04:20] Speaker C: We gotta weather the storm a little bit.
But you know, we're, we're, you know, it's good. We got, we got a long way to go. I, There's a lot to talk about, you know, but my success really, you know, would Be Aaron's success, you know, Aaron recruiting successful owners into the league, you know? You know, and. And we're just having a young guys revolution into this historic fantasy league that Aaron has been a part of, you know?
[00:04:44] Speaker B: Yeah, Rome, you know, the team of the 90s obviously was the Bulls. We know that going in. I mean, the team. I got it right here. The team of the2020s.
The cue balls, bro.
Let me see here. You read that right there. Read all those championships right there. That's what Jason's playing for. You can see that. You see all those names.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: Cue balls, is that you?
[00:05:07] Speaker B: That's me, man. That's the dynasty right here. Jason's playing for right here. Coming to take the throne right there. So, you know, I'll pass it on to him. Kind of like Real Madrid. Pass it on to psg. In soccer, sometimes you just got to pass the trophy on, man.
[00:05:21] Speaker A: Why is it at your house if you didn't win last year?
[00:05:24] Speaker B: Because the champion hasn't from last year come and collect it yet. So I'll keep it and give it to Jason.
[00:05:28] Speaker C: He's actually had it for two years at this point. He won in 20, 23, whatever.
[00:05:31] Speaker B: The last year I won, I've had it. So was that 23? Yeah.
[00:05:34] Speaker A: Oh, my God. 23? Yeah. All right.
[00:05:36] Speaker B: No reason to giving it up, man. It feels good staying here.
[00:05:40] Speaker C: I'll tell you this. If I win the championship, I'm getting it. The next day, I'm driving over to
[00:05:44] Speaker A: his house as a.
[00:05:46] Speaker B: Before you get it, I'll make sure your name gets engraved on it, and then I'll give it over properly. That's how we do it. You know, I could have left all these other champions off and just.
[00:05:54] Speaker A: I actually want to see a presentation. We are going to book something, like at Chili's. I want to see a presentation. You in a suit, handing it over Chili's.
[00:06:01] Speaker B: The guy's gonna win a lot of money. I'm not gonna say how much. He's gonna take us out to nice dinner Rome. He can bring his wife along too. He's gonna take us tonight. No Chili's, no BJ's, no cheap stuff. Nice steakhouse dinner suit, the whole nine yards. Two thousand dollar bill and it's going up, man.
[00:06:17] Speaker A: That's how it's going down.
[00:06:19] Speaker B: Well, nothing cheap here, man. Bring the 500 wine out, Rome. Whatever you like, Jason. It's on, Jason.
[00:06:24] Speaker A: Oh, I'm a sommelier, too. I'll know which ones to pick out.
I'll pick up the heavy Hitters.
[00:06:30] Speaker C: Listen, we're gonna, we're gonna, you, we might, you know, it may be a wood ranch. That's, that's, that's what you. The priceiest. You're gonna get there. And so you can get the tri
[00:06:37] Speaker B: tip and I'll take, I'll take the, I'll take a wood wrench. Try a tip all day.
[00:06:43] Speaker A: Yeah. All right.
All right. Glad you guys got your little fantasy thing back in it. Happy for you guys.
Aaron was hot, though. Aaron was hot before we can start the podcast, so he was also hot, I'm assuming, because he did pick the spurs to win this in five. I think, I think we talked about it.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: No, I didn't think we ever talked about games. Rome. I did take the spurs and I, I will be on the record now. I think the spurs are gonna come back to him in the next three games. Get the.
[00:07:09] Speaker A: Oh, my God. All right.
[00:07:13] Speaker C: I, I, I picked the spurs as well.
[00:07:16] Speaker B: Rome.
[00:07:16] Speaker C: If they come back when the next three games, you're talking historic NBA Finals also.
[00:07:19] Speaker A: That'd be crazy. That's like another.
[00:07:21] Speaker C: I, I don't know if, I don't know if New York recovers. I think the city might burn down, dude.
[00:07:27] Speaker A: Last time, the only time that's happened was Cavs Warriors.
That's when they came back down there. The first thing to come back down for 31 if they do it again. Spurs have been great, dude. Spurs have been solid.
[00:07:39] Speaker B: Honestly. Should be up 3:1 right now, you know?
[00:07:43] Speaker A: Should they?
[00:07:45] Speaker B: I mean, they should. They should have won game two.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: They could have. They could have.
[00:07:50] Speaker B: Obviously, they gave this game away.
[00:07:52] Speaker A: Oh, dude. Complete. Now is, Is it a bigger meltdown on the spurs or this is just like a great comeback? The Knicks finally providing the pressure coming with the energy. They look, they've been coming out of every game like laxadaisical, like, not pressing it. They've been down by double digits in every single game. It's been really frustrating, actually. It's kind of been pissing me off. And then they fight back. Fourth quarter, man, finally knocking down big shots. Brunson finally showed up.
Cat with some big plays. He played a hell of a game. The refs letting Wemby elbow everybody flagrantly left and right and not getting any calls.
[00:08:27] Speaker B: It's okay.
[00:08:28] Speaker A: It's okay. We don't have to talk about that.
[00:08:29] Speaker B: When you're, when you're 7 5, I mean, guys are just automatically running in elbows, dude.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: I would knock his ass on the ground, dude. If I was the Knicks and they tried, they Actually tried a little bit.
[00:08:38] Speaker B: Well, your boy Mitch Robinson took a little shot there to this throat.
[00:08:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I thought that was, I didn't think it was a flagrant. Thought it was like I could say,
[00:08:46] Speaker B: I mean, that to me was a flagrant. I didn't think there was a flagrant foul. I mean, here's the funny thing we, I mean, this is the first time I've been on the show in a month, but Wimby's basically one flagrant foul away from being suspended for the next game.
[00:08:57] Speaker A: Yeah, that's happening next game.
So.
[00:09:00] Speaker B: Which would be crazy because, I mean, I mean, I think the NBA should step in and he shouldn't get it. He's trying to get a flagrant point on that one. It wasn't, you know, I mean, the two ones he got against Minnesota, that was like a legit, like he, yeah,
[00:09:13] Speaker A: but the one he did on Bruno, they should have raised that one up to a flagrant. Like for sure.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: That was, his hands was already on his neck. He didn't. There was no wind up. It should have been a foul, but definitely not a flag rant.
Oh, man.
[00:09:24] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: I mean, Dennis Rodman and Carl Malone, that, that's two hand touch on a NBA Finals in that series.
[00:09:31] Speaker A: I was a big Dennis Robin fan, as you guys may remember, or you may remember only one rocking a Robin jersey in elementary school, fouling my way on the basketball court.
So.
All right, so thoughts on this bigger meltdown or just Nick's had a, just a phenomenal comeback or a little bit of mix of both because spurs were still kind of fighting throughout the whole thing. They have some pretty big buckets too, along the way.
[00:09:56] Speaker C: I think these situations are always generally a mix of both. But I mean, I, I, but I think you put it more on the spurs from, from a meltdown perspective. You can't have a lead that big. And then even the ending of the game, you know, they basically have this stop and Fox gets blocked on a layup at that point where if he would have maybe held the ball, got fouled, the game could have been over at that point, you know, making it potentially a two or three point lead and not giving the Knicks the ball with the chance to win the game. So I, it's hard not to say the spurs didn't choke this away. I don't think the people in New York really care. It was a little bit of combination of both, but it's tough to let someone subway like that. But to, to Aaron's point, if they're able to Come back, win this series, which I'm in agreement. I think the cards are on the table for it to happen.
It would, it would be, it would be a more impressive comeback and then you forget about this game. But this could have been the. If, if the Knicks win. This is probably the turning point at this point of hey, where, where it went down and you know, now this is maybe Wemby's reputation a little bit here or he's still young forward as far as joking. He is and he could turn it around. But yeah, I, this is definitely kind of that turning point, Paul. Although I want to flip it back to the, the Stanley Cup Final Rome, where I thought the game three or the game two turning point of. Towards challenging that thing and basically giving game two to the, to the Hurricanes was a turning point in that series. And then they blow a four, you know, a four goal lead, still ending up winning in overtime. And so it wasn't. I mean these things are just seesawing back and forth. So while momentum may mean something, it's a completely new game. We're going to go down to San Antonio. They're. They didn't play well the first two. I'm sure there's going to be a little bit extra for the spurs out of this one. You know, maybe the Knicks take the foot off the gas and now because they want to win it at home. You know, a lot can happen in these, in these, in the next two games.
[00:11:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, go ahead. But I saw this in six Knicks in six.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: I mean it's going to go six. I'd be shocked if San Antonio loses game five and loses three in a row at home in this series.
But you never know. I mean, I don't think San Antonio is going to fall into that Cleveland Cavaliers trap. Remember Cavaliers lost a 22 point lead with seven minutes ago in the Knicks in game one. It just melted down the rest of that series.
Rome, you touched on a good point earlier.
Usually in a series you know who the better team is in the first quarter. San Antonio has been double digit lead every game in the first quarter. Usually when that happens four straight games, they're just a better team. They should go on and win these games now into the games. They had mistakes today. I mean to me it's a bigger meltdown by San Antonio. I'm looking at San Antonio had 30 points combined in the second half.
[00:12:31] Speaker A: Yeah, they had 75 at the half.
[00:12:33] Speaker B: Right, 76 at the half. The Knicks scored themselves 32 in the fourth quarter. They scored more points in the fourth quarter than San Antonio did in the, in the half. Not only that, San Antonio was in the bonus of like 8, 9 minutes to go in the fourth quarter because they just kept fouling Wimby on those go to lobs. He just. Which I don't know why the NBA doesn't rule like an and one control tip and do all that stuff, but that's a rule they can look at later.
But for me, I mean, Darren Fox, huge mistake. Jason pointed out, just dribble it out. You don't ever challenge OG at the rim. This guy's six, nine, he's long. He blocks so many shots. How many guys. Castle, Harper, Fox. He's basically made these guys go away from the rim. Fox, great job speeding there over OG Just dribble it out. Go to the three point line, get fouled, make one or two. You're down to five seconds there.
It's. It's a tough game for San Antonio to lose.
And I mean, they should be up. They could be up three, one they've
[00:13:32] Speaker A: lost, but really close.
[00:13:34] Speaker B: Common, common theme. You touched on hockey. Vegas up for nothing, dominating it gets four. Four. You. These teams, when you're just. When you're cruising along, you let your. You left your foot off the gas pedal. San Antonio basically was playing this game like a regular season game, up 30, like, hey, we're just gonna win. We're gonna go fly to the next town tomorrow night and have a good time. And New York just kept battling, battling back. And in the fourth quarter, they just couldn't miss. I mean, they had. How many shots did they have? They hit the rim five times and bounced in. It was like quite a few. Man, that was ridiculous.
[00:14:07] Speaker A: Who made that three in the corner that? I think it finally got the energy back in the fourth quarter. It kind of. I think it was Alvarado. Alvarado, okay.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: And I mean, that was.
[00:14:15] Speaker A: You need some like, luck like that.
[00:14:17] Speaker B: Yeah, that guy was getting so lucky. I mean the guy hasn't done anything all series except for basically try to tackle wrestle style. Wimby to the, in the second quarter there.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: But I liked it. I liked it.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: I mean, it's a, a lot of luck, but a lot of bad turnovers. Nine in the second half by the Spurs.
[00:14:32] Speaker A: So spurs coach, I can't remember if it was like in the third quarter, Knicks had like a little mini run. They kind of scored like nine points a row. They went on timeout. He was talking to the team, saying, like, hey, let's just seal this game right now we don't want to give him any hope. Let's just close it out. And they just couldn't do it. They kind of let, you know, let it be. Still 17 points. Still a nice league going in the fourth quarter. But new York, though, you got to be thinking, man, we were down by so much. And now 17, that's doable. Just point by point, basket by basket. They had some nice stops and just a phenomenal turnaround. Phenomenal turnaround.
[00:15:08] Speaker C: The og, The OG Play at the end.
[00:15:11] Speaker A: Oh, it's great.
[00:15:12] Speaker C: The Knicks win. I mean, that's going to be an all time, like Knicks highlight.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: That's like a Robert Hori 3. That's a Robert Ori 3. For me, like that, that almost like felt like the same way where like, oh, it's tipped out. The Hori Hori Lakers lose that series. If they, if he doesn't get that shot, maybe for this, they're.
[00:15:30] Speaker C: They're just going to slow it down. There's going to be stills on it for people's poster.
[00:15:34] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:15:35] Speaker C: And I mean, yeah, you're going to. I mean, there's going to be tattoos. It's him flying above everyone else just to tip this thing in. Like the different replays and stuff. It's.
It's an all time. It's an all time play. Especially in New York lore.
[00:15:48] Speaker B: That's. That's going to be the new logo for the Knicks center court. The OG Just tipping it in.
[00:15:52] Speaker A: And that's a hard play too, because he was flying in and he just barely tapped it. Like, we've all seen that. Like, that can bounce in and out anywhere. If he misses, that game's over, probably more than likely. So it was a nice bounce inside. It was really beautiful. I think one thing, it was just basically Brunson and OG Playing really well for the Knicks the whole game. They couldn't get much else from anybody else until the second half. So whatever Mike Brown did, which for some reason I still see him on the side of the court, he still looks lost sometimes, but, but you know, he's done a hell of a job this postseason. He's made some adjustments and whatever he did at halftime, it could be Brunson's dad because, you know, he kind of, kind of gave Brunson's dad credit for game one and two for making some adjustments as well in the Finals.
[00:16:39] Speaker B: So, I mean, yeah, Rome, look at the box score. OG 33 points, Brunson 36. I mean, they kept going over. I mean, Harper off the bench for the spurs had the same amount of points as Towns, Hart and Bridges for like three and a half quarters. And that was a big key in the first two games was the Knicks bench was big. I mean, they outplayed San Antonio and that kind of helped them take those first two games.
But yeah, Brunson got going.
I thought, you know, they did this game. The referees called things a little more tighter, a little, you know, the physicality was still up, but they were, you know, they were giving Brunson those bumps that they weren't really giving him those first three games.
[00:17:14] Speaker A: I still think it's San Antonio. I feel like they got the memo from the office.
[00:17:20] Speaker B: Well, I mean, if there's ever a memo, I mean, they want New York to win, right?
[00:17:23] Speaker A: I mean, that's it. It's Wemby. It's the new star. Like, I don't think we've had a young star like this come this close to actually dominating the finals. Last time we had a young 22 year old. Yeah, like LeBron, but he got killed by the spurs, so it's not a big deal.
[00:17:36] Speaker B: Yeah, he got swept for that was a dominating spurs team. That was a bad Cleveland team.
[00:17:40] Speaker A: Shaq in 95 with the, with Orlando Magic. No one really remembers that because they, they kind of got swept up really cleanly by the Houston Rockets. So, you know, getting swept in the
[00:17:51] Speaker B: finals could be bad, man. I mean, that broke up Hardaway and Shaq so quick.
[00:17:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:57] Speaker B: So, I mean, in San Antonio, I mean, your window, you never know. I mean, I know Jason saw Wimby playing person, you know, called them basically all legs. You never know. Big guys typically get hurt.
[00:18:06] Speaker A: Dude, those legs, look, ankles, knees.
[00:18:09] Speaker B: I mean, 22. I mean, he might, I mean, we, we haven't touched on it, but this guy had a blood clot and missed what, 42 games last year.
[00:18:17] Speaker A: This is barely.
[00:18:18] Speaker B: He thought maybe his career was going to be over. So, I mean, he's really, really young.
San Antonio is a really young team, but you never know if you're going to get here. I mean, okc, I think if they have a healthy. Jalen Williams beat the Spurs, Obviously they missed him in game seven in that series.
[00:18:32] Speaker A: That's.
[00:18:33] Speaker B: I mean, SGA was by himself. It just didn't have enough gas in the tank and enough weapons for them to win that series. But you never know who's going to get there. The Knicks kind of, Everything kind of felt perfect for them.
Boston Tatum gets hurt in game seven. Can't play against Philadelphia. They would have won that Series. Boston Philly was never a good matchup for the Knicks. And then Detroit. I think the Knicks were going to win the east anyways. But they would have been a much tougher physical matchup for the Knicks versus the Cavs, who just game one after they blew that big league kind of folded up their. Their cards.
[00:19:07] Speaker A: Yeah, Mitch is on the podium right now. I'm kind of curious what he's saying, but I haven't seen this look on his face before. This is a new one.
[00:19:15] Speaker B: Another thing too Rome, I think why I like San Antonio to keep pushing this series. There's now two days rest between every game.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: So yeah, Wemby does well with at least two days.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: So spurs have played better with rest and I think that will favor them having fresher legs down the stretch. And Wimby, we don't. We didn't touch on it. Two missed three throws down the stretch there too, after being 6 for 6. Perfect from the line. You talk about the pressure there. The young guy. One thing about Wimby's always responded well. Castle. I think the spurs are mentally tough enough to win game five. They do think game six. All pressure is on New York. New York's gonna have to close it out again. I think New York felt the pressure in the first three quarters in this game. San Antonio let their foot off the gas pedal, momentum shifted real quick and it's tough. It's tough, man. Once you think the game is over, we talk Super Bowl, Falcons, Patriots. Once you think a game's over, it's tough to revamp back up. Vegas. Jason touched on it. He got lucky. I mean, two own goals that Carolina gave up in that game. It's tough. It's tough to. To pick up the pace and get going again. Once you think the game's in the bag, they'll learn from it. Lucky for them, it's not the closeout game yet in the series. They got a chance to respond. Like I said, I think San Antonio can still win the next three games. Wouldn't be shocked at all.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: That'd be pretty tough though.
[00:20:31] Speaker B: I just want to see Stephen A cry. If they do, that'd be great too.
[00:20:34] Speaker A: Dude, you got like Sony celebrities out there. Jerry Seinfeld, Ben Stiller, Timothy Chalamet, Chris Rock, everybody, man.
[00:20:46] Speaker C: Sandler, Mariska Hargitay and Stabler from svu.
I gotta say, New Yorkers, you're the. You're the LA guy. And maybe it's just like prisoner of the moment, but I gotta say that that's a more packed Celebrity game I saw tonight versus. No, like any of the Laker games.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: I mean Lakers, all they kept showing was Jack Nicholson for 30 years. That's it.
[00:21:10] Speaker A: Well, he was the most famous. He was a really cool courtside guy, though.
[00:21:13] Speaker B: Yeah, he was like.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: I had pretty.
[00:21:15] Speaker B: I think might be the best courtside celebrity ever.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: I think so.
He hasn't been around in a while.
[00:21:22] Speaker B: He's not looking too good.
[00:21:24] Speaker A: Yeah. So knicks are up 3 1. Mike Brown looks pretty happy. Has he ever won a championship?
[00:21:31] Speaker B: Yeah, as an assistant with the spurs and Warriors. Right. He was pop for that run. Okay.
[00:21:36] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:21:36] Speaker B: I think he won two as an assistant with Curry or Kerr and when the warriors won.
[00:21:41] Speaker A: Never as a coach, though, because he lost in the Finals.
[00:21:44] Speaker B: Head coach.
[00:21:45] Speaker A: No, he lost in the finals with the Cavs.
[00:21:48] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:21:51] Speaker A: Anything.
[00:21:51] Speaker B: I believe that was. Mike Brown was the coach then?
[00:21:54] Speaker A: I think so. It was the first seven years.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: I think Mike Brown was LeBron's first coach.
[00:22:00] Speaker A: Second coach, I think his first or second coach.
[00:22:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Because they remember they hired that.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: That talent guy was really good. And then they fired him and like halfway the season and brought in the Tyloo. And that's when they won that chip.
[00:22:14] Speaker B: Yeah, right.
[00:22:15] Speaker C: Yeah. Mike Brown was the first. He was the first run.
[00:22:18] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:22:19] Speaker C: For LeBron. And then I think he was Lakers after that.
[00:22:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: Yeah. And then assistant with the warriors and then got the Keen's job. Keen should have never fired him.
[00:22:30] Speaker A: That.
[00:22:30] Speaker B: That organization's a mess.
[00:22:32] Speaker A: They should have never fired him. He was doing a great job there and it's been a mess since then. So I don't feel bad for them anymore.
All right? Yeah, man. So when is game five?
That Saturday go?
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Saturday, Tuesday, Friday.
[00:22:49] Speaker A: Wow, they really stretched the last three games out, huh? Yeah. Okay. Saturday.
[00:22:56] Speaker C: A lot of travel.
[00:22:58] Speaker A: Well, I know what I'm doing Saturday night now.
That's for sure.
[00:23:02] Speaker B: Could be. You could be celebrating at Aces a New York Knicks championship. Romeo.
[00:23:06] Speaker A: I was gonna be at Aces tonight. I just. I just don't want to be around a whole bunch of drinky maniacs because Aces is packed. Do they have even TVs outside the bar right now as well? If you go on social media, bunch of New Yorkers there, obnoxious, all talking shit like, I don't want to be in that atmosphere. I was there, you know, when the Dodgers beat the Yankees and that's different.
[00:23:29] Speaker B: You're getting. You're getting dildos. Ron at you, Romeo.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: Yeah, that's when the bartender threw the dildo at me. Yeah. Because they won and I was the only one celebrating, she's like, shut the fuck up. Threw the dildo on me.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: I'm like, whoa, hey, guess what? When the spurs win, you can throw that black one right back at her and say, here you go, right?
[00:23:45] Speaker A: Every time I go in there, the bartender, Christine was her name, she's like, she's like, you're still an asshole for celebrating your daughters went here. You know that, right?
I was like, forget about it, forget about it.
Any other comments on this game? It was phenomenal. I'm have to go watch game or like the, the third quarter again, but first half it was ugly. I, I was, I was texting a neighbor, he's a big New Yorker guy, he was stressed. I was like, hey, you want to watch the game together? You know, at the clubhouse? He's like, no, I'm just gonna stay at home and yell at the TV by myself. He's pissed. Didn't want to even text or call back or anything like that. I'm like texting him like yo or something. Going to run silent until the game was over.
It was ugly. It was ugly right from the get go in the first quarter.
So hopefully New York can fix that. Going to game five and we'll see, man, we'll see.
If it goes to six, if it goes to seven, Knicks and six, that's what I got. That's what I had. Beginning of the series, sticking to it.
I did pick the spurs to win game three and game five, it's looking like it's setting up nicely for that.
But honestly, spurs could have won all these games, so pretty wild.
Final comments.
[00:25:01] Speaker C: Nope.
[00:25:03] Speaker B: Yeah, Ron, again, just look at the box score. I mean, tale of two halves. San Antonio had two turnovers at halftime, finished with 11.
We talked about the Knicks not being able to make shots, but Somehow they finished 46% from the three point line in this game. That shows you what they did in
[00:25:18] Speaker A: the second half to the they.
[00:25:19] Speaker B: San Antonio was shooting over what, 60% and finished 40% or less from, from regular twos and threes for the game.
So just a tale of two halves.
And like I said, I mean I think that extended rest, you know, traveling, it's not playing till Saturday kind of San Antonio, you can regroup, right? You're not just turning around playing again.
Momentum really not really a big factor. I mean everybody was saying Nixon 4 kind of of looked that way. But you know, I agree. I thought San Antonio was going to at least get one of these games here. I like him to win game five and then we'll see what happens to come game six.
[00:25:56] Speaker A: It was a catchy slogan. Like whoever that guy was in New York, he said my bagels are Jewish, something is Muslim. My Christians do Dior Nixon, Ford like it blew up on social media after Game 2. It was, it was pretty crazy. And their fans are wild, dude. NYPD had to put up a whole bunch of protections in place so no fans continue to get beat up outside the other Garden and act like maniacs.
[00:26:21] Speaker B: Don't worry. Spurs jersey to the Garden because that's you're getting your jersey, not only getting beat up. I saw the guy that jersey off you.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: I saw the guy that got beat up. This is an innocent white guy. Like why him go pick somebody else. But like there's no like thuggish spurs fans. I don't think I ever met a thuggish spurs fan. It's probably the nicest fan base out of all them. Maybe. I don't know.
[00:26:40] Speaker B: I mean the spurs fan base, I mean the organization of the spurs has probably been the best ran since the 2000s. Really. I mean with pop and now what they got going now where they got five titles and they were in the NBA playoffs for what like 19, 20, 21 straight years.
[00:26:57] Speaker A: So yeah, yeah, they were less up and down the light.
[00:27:00] Speaker B: I mean I don't know if we touched on, but the spurs feel like the Patriots to me.
[00:27:03] Speaker A: Right.
[00:27:03] Speaker B: Kind of that same thing where like oh, Brady's gone but now they got Drake May like oh, Duncan's gone but now they got Wimby.
Maybe the same. They're going to lose in the finals.
[00:27:13] Speaker C: Yeah, it's really just, it's really just when you think about just the Kawhi drama where they had, they had the Kawaii really set up there to bridge that entire gap thing. But the only reason they even fell off was because of.
[00:27:23] Speaker A: He wanted to leave.
[00:27:24] Speaker C: He wanted to leave. And however that relationship deteriorated and they were somewhat competitive a little bit but then you know, they were just doing plug and play with kind of some, you know, mid tier guys and everything, but just really couldn't overall get it and then tank for a few years, get Wemby and some of these other guys and all of a sudden you're back at it. I mean I think even beyond Aaron, I think it's even beyond Brady because I mean Brady saw through all the errors where now you're, you know, you've gone three generations of getting like a dominant big man, like an all timer at this point where they.
[00:27:57] Speaker A: Crazy.
[00:27:57] Speaker C: It's crazy Robinson into Duncan now into Wemby. So I mean they've, they've had a few down years, but like they're always like coming up. I mean it was kind of almost the Colts there for a second. It kind of went south because of Luck. But I mean you had, you know, you had Manning for all those years. You bad one year and you go into Andrew Luck. I mean, but then he retires and it's kind of been off the wheels. But I don't, I don't know if anyone's kind of had that sustain of just like getting the drafted superstar. I mean the Lakers have gotten stars to sign there and all that type of stuff. But you know, I, I don't know of another situation where you've gotten a
[00:28:28] Speaker A: probably generation of quarterbacks, but yeah, that's a good love is in generational. He's just, he's just good.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: Yeah, well, he's. Yeah, yeah. I mean it's, it's a good point with that. I'm not only. I mean, look at. They got Castle who's gotten from year one to two significant jump.
[00:28:47] Speaker A: Great.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: And I mean, look, I love Dylan Harper. I think he's a stud. But they almost had Cooper flag fall right into their lap two again. I get number one. So they were going to end up with Flag R Harper.
Either one. I think it's going to be really, really good.
[00:28:59] Speaker A: I mean, Harper's gonna be really, really good, man.
[00:29:01] Speaker B: Harper.
As soon as Harper can consistently knock down threes because people lay off him, that's gonna be. He's gonna be trouble. And he was hitting the three tonight in the first half, but didn't get it going in the second half. If dad was pretty proud.
[00:29:13] Speaker A: But we're doing like guard rankings. Harper's like the fastest climbing one right now. Like he's. He's gonna be a top five guard fast next year, if not already.
[00:29:24] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I know. I mean I was talking to some people.
I know. I doubt it will happen, but what the spurs need, especially if they lose this finals and you know, like, they're not paying anybody and everybody's Talking about where's LeBron going to end up. San Antonio is the perfect spot for him.
He wants to go out a winner. There's no better spot than, than San Antonio. If LeBron wanted to go really play there, they could easily pay him 30 million.
They're not paying anybody else.
[00:29:53] Speaker A: I guess that is.
[00:29:54] Speaker C: I'd have to look at their cap and whatever. I'm like, what would have to give up Then they're paying somebody.
[00:29:58] Speaker A: Right now, everybody's on rookie.
[00:29:59] Speaker B: I think Fox is the only one making big money.
Everyone else's rookie contracts are just regular.
I love exception minimums. Yeah.
[00:30:08] Speaker C: One Fox out.
[00:30:09] Speaker A: So they're gonna probably give Wemby a contract this summer and do like a little early, which I don't know why they would, but they're gonna probably do that. That's interesting take, though. I will say before we end this, though, I slow, low key. I think Wemby is like one of the dirtier players in the NBA. I haven't seen him play a lot, but from what I've seen this playoffs, this guy is sneaky dirty. And I think we should keep an eye on him.
[00:30:32] Speaker C: Rome's gotta be. Drums got playoffs. Rome's got this take out there. Aaron, he was. He was getting this on the last pod. Just like throw it on the radar. Like, we gotta watch this. Super dirty. Like the guys, the guy's 8ft tall. If anyone gets near him, his, like, arms are just long as people, you know, I just. I don't. I don't know.
[00:30:51] Speaker B: I. I will say this, Rome, yes, he is 8ft tall. He's got a wingspan of like 10ft. Plus, you know, look, you get beat up, you know, guys are hip checking you all the time.
You know, we did see the Minnesota series. He did seek out a guy's face there of the elbow, too.
[00:31:08] Speaker A: That was pretty bad.
[00:31:09] Speaker B: Yeah, so. And it was, you know, we got the flagrant, too.
We talked about it. One more flagrant foul in, he's automatically suspended, supposedly.
[00:31:20] Speaker A: How crazy.
[00:31:21] Speaker B: If I'm Adam Silver, I adjust that rule and, you know, change it the. For the first five games in the regular season next year. Nobody cares about that.
But you don't. You can't suspend a guy.
[00:31:31] Speaker A: I, I wouldn't, but I. I think that's why the NBA did not give him the flagrance. So they can have more flexibility for the last potentially three, four games. I think that's why it didn't happen. So there.
[00:31:42] Speaker B: He gave him the exception. I would agree with that. I didn't think it was a flagrant foul either. Everyone thought I wouldn't give him a flagrant foul either. Against Towns, that was just the common swing move where Towns ate an elbow.
[00:31:53] Speaker A: Well, I missed that because I was. In the third quarter. I missed that one. Yeah.
[00:31:56] Speaker B: And when we went over to him right away and patted him and said, hey, I'm sorry, it was. He wasn't seeking it out intentionally. Unlike Brunson, who He laughed at his face.
[00:32:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I took a longer break at halftime. I had a horchata five shot shaken espresso today, and it finally had to leave the building. You know, it took a little longer for me to go, you know, take. Take a quick shower, get ready to watch the game.
[00:32:21] Speaker C: So, Rome, I got a quick question for you.
[00:32:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:25] Speaker C: Are you familiar with Danhausen?
No, not familiar with Danhausen. Okay, we should look it up.
[00:32:35] Speaker A: What's with the grin here?
[00:32:37] Speaker B: What is going on here?
[00:32:38] Speaker C: I'm surprised. He's been all over espn.
He's the probably the most popular WWE Superstar right now.
[00:32:45] Speaker A: Dan Housen. How do you spell it?
[00:32:49] Speaker C: Dan? And then H, A, U, S, E, N.
[00:32:54] Speaker A: Danhausen. What about him?
So who is this guy?
[00:32:59] Speaker C: He's a WWE wrestler.
He's very nice, but he's very evil. And he has cursed all of the teams that the Knicks have played in the playoffs.
And so if anyone's going to get credit for the Knicks winning their first championship in generations, it's going to be Danhausen.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: The fuck is this guy?
[00:33:20] Speaker B: All right, he looks like.
[00:33:21] Speaker A: I have seen a clip.
[00:33:22] Speaker B: He looks like a kiss guy or something here.
[00:33:24] Speaker A: I have seen him on. On Instagram. I just didn't even bother looking. I'm like, who's. Who's this freak that's on TV now?
[00:33:30] Speaker C: He's. He is a tremendous comedic wrestler, but his whole gimmick is he just curses people.
And so he had. He had initially cursed the Knicks and then had a little spat with Stephen A. Smith and reversed the curse and started cursing the opponents, and they've been on.
[00:33:45] Speaker B: Did he curse them when they were playing against the Atlanta Hawks? Is that when that started?
[00:33:50] Speaker C: Yes, that's gone on this whole run. So he was. He was at the Knicks game, the last game picture with Ben Stiller, whole thing. He's been all over espn.
He. He curse someone, I think paid a cameo for him to curse the Vegas Golden Knights after game three.
So just putting that out there, you know, keep an eye on Danhausen.
[00:34:13] Speaker A: I'm a.
[00:34:13] Speaker B: You gotta write. You gotta ride these hot streaks. The momentum's with them.
[00:34:16] Speaker C: So y.
I would say he. He's a. He's a top three WWE merch guy. He's been with the company, like, less than six months. And he's just. The more popular guys just doing a. Doing a gimmick and just cursing people.
[00:34:29] Speaker A: Says, I got you guys on. I think we're done with the NBA. Do you guys want to put, like, your two cents for the NHL Stanley cup game? Four or going to game five wins game five. I'm guessing Friday third tomorrow, tomorrow night. Do they just have a quicker turnaround? Huh?
[00:34:46] Speaker C: A little bit. I mean they're, they're playing, they're playing Thursday then, then Sunday after the NBA and then Wednesday. So they're gonna, they'll get them in before the NBA. But yeah, I mean I, Aaron talked a little bit about it but I mean you know the Hurricanes got up early in that game in game four were able to stop, you know, the Knights from coming back. But it was exactly kind of what I thought from this Hurricanes team throughout, throughout the playoffs. I mean they, they had, they have not been good in previous seasons but they were able to get through an Eastern Conference that maybe what it, what you know, what it wasn't think. And they persevered and I think you know, Jordan Stahl and some of these other guys on the team just a veteran presence, you know, really stepping up. I mean Carolina's a good team. I think it's going to be really tough going back to Carolina for the Golden Knights. But I mean as you said as entertaining as the NBA Finals have been, the hockey playoffs have been as entertaining or if not more. I mean both of these leagues couldn't ask for much and I think you know, I wouldn't say Carolina Vegas is exactly the sexy matchup if you were to say that at the beginning of the season.
[00:35:52] Speaker A: But it is really good.
[00:35:54] Speaker C: Oh it's been great games. I just like you you think of it, you want like original six teams you know, generally and you know the last couple years it's been like the Florida Panthers which have kind of been a good story because they got the Chuck brothers and they're just kind of you know get the USA you know or the Matthew could Chuck. At least he's got the USA kind of stuff going on. So. But I mean this is a game that just Loki doesn't probably doesn't have the, the stars that are going to the next level outside you know the game. You guys, you know you got Jack Eichel and Marner on the, on the Golden Knight side and you know stalls a veteran presence and some of the other you know, you know good young players they have for the, the Hurricanes. But this isn't a team that's got like hey you got the A list stars for hockey that's getting out there but this. But it's still you know, given love. And I particularly I had a friend text me, you know yesterday I mentioned kind of my couple buddies before they're big basketball guys, but huge gambler, so they'll just watch hockey to gamble it on. And one of the guys asked me, like, hey, like Jay, like I remember back in the day, like when you had the hot goaltender, you just ride him through the playoffs and he just wins you a Stanley Cup. Now, like, there's like no goaltending and these games are, you know, five, four, six, five, you know, overtimes left and right. And so, you know, the leagues really changed. But I think the skill of, you know, the forwards and just the amount of scoring that they have and how fast these games are, I mean, really has outdone, you know, the, comparatively, the skill of goaltenders that are coming up to the NHL now too, where you just don't. There's no dominance in goaltending anymore.
[00:37:24] Speaker A: Wasn't the goaltenders for both Carolina and Knights, like, they didn't really play a lot this year and then all of a sudden they got hot just going into the playoffs. So they've been the main one throughout the playoffs. Then now they got kind of. Both got burned. They both got switched out recently.
Wasn't the case for both of them.
[00:37:40] Speaker B: Not Carter Hart.
[00:37:41] Speaker A: No.
[00:37:42] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:37:43] Speaker B: It sounds like Jason, you got the Hurricanes to win the series.
[00:37:45] Speaker A: He does. Yeah.
[00:37:46] Speaker C: I, I said the Hurricanes were going to win. Yep.
[00:37:48] Speaker B: And what, seven or what?
I don't know if you said.
[00:37:51] Speaker C: I don't think I said a number. I mean, I, I mean, I think six.
I would say six at this point. I just, I, I think they win game five and, and you go to Vegas and you know, they, they were great in Vegas.
So I don't know. I. Yeah, I think, I think I'm gonna go six.
[00:38:10] Speaker B: I said the series, go seven. I like Vegas. I mean, I took Vegas. Roman, we talked off the record because of the goaltending and Carter Hartley, mean, he's been spectacular these playoffs.
[00:38:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:19] Speaker B: Now he's the first goaltender in NHL's Finals history to get four plus goals in the first four games. I think he re. I think he rebounds. Yeah, I, I trust him more. I, I don't think you go back to Anderson if you're Carolina. I mean, he wasn't very good the regular season. I know they went with him because of veteranship and he played good in these playoffs, but he's no match for Vegas Golden Knights. A tough break, right. They get the goal late. It doesn't count there in game two at the end of the period.
I don't know why. It's not like the NBA once it's off the stick. It should be in, but I guess it has to go past the goal line before it hits double zeros, triple zeros, whatever.
So maybe the NHL can revisit that rule.
But yeah, I. I just Vegas, to me, I think their leadership experience here and winning the cup here in the last three years. Mark Stone, he's been great in his playoffs. And just the amount of goals, you know, they've had some bad luck. You know, the offsides, it wasn't a goal. I mean, they won that game. Goalie interference, which was the right call there.
I trust him more. I mean, Bussy was good, but he wasn't very good. I mean, he gave up, what, three goals in his first 12 shots. He was good there in the third period, but that was because of, you know, Jason touched on the forwards for Carolina, and the forward check was all that was really, really good for them.
I just trust Vegas. I think Carter Hart's gonna pit together and I'll stick with the Knights. And seven.
[00:39:40] Speaker A: Nice. I had Vegas going into the series in six or seven. Think sniper had Carolina in five or six. He says not gonna be any competition, but Larry Day was there too.
We'll see, man. It's good stuff. I can't wait to watch it tomorrow as well. So I think that's it, man.
That's it.
Hell of a game for. They keep on replaying that tip in. They're replaying some non Wemby fouls. Not called Wemby fouls on her, on every New Yorker. So I don't know.
[00:40:14] Speaker B: I mean, there's a. I mean, this
[00:40:16] Speaker A: guy's getting like LeBron James treatment, dude. I don't like it. I don't like it. He's creating a lot of haters. There's gonna be a bunch of people that liked Wemby going to this playoffs, and now they're seeing this other site. He's like. He's like Darth Vader, dude. He's gonna finally get some haters. People gonna come after him.
Wemby era is here.
[00:40:34] Speaker B: I think everybody that's not in San Antonio is not.
I think they respect Wendy, but they're not like, you know, kind of a flopper this and that a little bit. But I mean, well, look it. Once you're 7 5, you get bumped and you're off balance a little bit, you're just gonna fall down. It's just. It happens.
[00:40:49] Speaker A: Well, this little twigs, dude, I wouldn't want to stand around and.
[00:40:54] Speaker B: I mean, I'll have to go watch him in person next year.
[00:40:56] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, I'm gonna have to.
[00:40:58] Speaker C: I. I don't think I. I wrote. I don't think he's gonna be a beloved, like, player when it comes to it. I mean, generally, when it comes to, you know, the. The more popular guys, you're looking at a guy that's, you know, a guard type player. But then you got San Antonio, which isn't always one of the best markets because they're a team that always wins. And you got some bigger basketball cities. But I think the biggest thing is you're. I think you're going. This. You talk about the Knicks roster, where it's this Villanova roster and all these college guys, and it's. It's a. It's a USA type team in the biggest city. And now you got this French guy who's coming over just to dominate and take over basketball. I mean, the same thing, when you look at, you know, Jokic and some of that stuff. Like, you know, it's. This is. This is the American game that we're loot. That. That NBA fans, like, hey, we're losing to the international stars.
[00:41:46] Speaker B: Yeah, well, Rome, you know, I told. I told you Rome was it last year. Whatever. I said, the USA Olympics is not going to win a championship gold medal for the next 1220.
[00:41:55] Speaker A: Did you have that cliff somewhere, dude? Yeah, I got to get that out.
[00:41:57] Speaker B: I got to get that. And this is. And this is why. I mean, Jason touched on. The international guys are coming in whether or not they're, quote, unquote, the face of the league or will be. One thing about Wimby doesn't, you know, he's not a funny guy. He doesn't say a lot of words, but he speaks. He speaks his mind, and he gives you, you know, clickbaits and he says, you know, he'll tell you, like, hey, I sucked, or, hey, we're not done, or, hey, we're gonna go out there and whip your ass. Whatever. He doesn't. He doesn't hold back. He just doesn't say a lot.
[00:42:25] Speaker A: Well, I heard somebody break it down, like, oh, man, I was over the back at the end of that game.
I thought, they're gonna call that. They're showing a replay.
[00:42:38] Speaker B: There's a lot of fouls ever missed both ways. Could be.
[00:42:40] Speaker A: Well, it was when Hart was, like, dribbling back up. It was like the, you know, five seconds left, whatever, before they call the foul, which they did the out of bounds play, OG To Brunson to shoot the three. Then he dives In Hart goes backwards on that play. And I'm not really sure if they called the foul before or afterwards. I could have sworn the foul was afterwards, but that was like a. Maybe that was a missed call. I got to see the replays and see what, what people say about it, but I was worried that was going to happen. That would. And that would be a game over.
So who knows? Who knows?
I was gonna say something, something about Wemby. I. I think he has, like this, like, dark, you know, edge that we haven't seen in. In a player for some time. Like, like that fu Michael Jordan, fu Kobe kind of mentality that people do like they kind of respect because we haven't had a star like that in a while that just kind of wants to Destroy everybody. Like LeBron, nice guy. Like, he. LeBron's been phenomenal.
[00:43:34] Speaker B: Right?
[00:43:35] Speaker A: But he wasn't really like that attacking kind of guy, like, like that sinister guy. Ant didn't want to be that guy. Jokic, horse riding guy. Didn't want to be that guy. Giannis really beloved, goofy, you know, arguably one of the best players in the world for, like, you know, still now. And. And like, Wemby's the first guy to kind of, kind of, kind of have that. I think that's why people like him even though he's French.
[00:43:57] Speaker B: That's a great point, Rome.
Wimby comes out and plays hard every game. And credit to Wimby, he's changed the NBA All Star format and he's made it better. Why? Because he actually comes out and tries to destroy you. So now guys are like, oh, shit, like, we better play hard because Wimby's out here not messing around. Yeah. And it made the All Star game a hell of a lot better than it's been in the last decade. Yeah. So, yeah, I agree. I think Wimby being that guy, that's like, hey, dude, I. I'm not here to be your friend.
I'll shove you in the neck, Brunson. I don't care if you're six two. And guess what? I'll freaking F bomb you and powerbomb you. Whatever, if I got to. To get to a title. So that's why I'd say San Antonio is not just gonna fold up and go away.
[00:44:39] Speaker A: Oh, they're not gonna be Wimby.
[00:44:41] Speaker B: And then we'll look at that film Castle and be like, yeah, dude, we let this one get away. Like, we choked it. We look like little bitches. Let's go out and play hard. So I. I Expect San Antonio to win game five.
[00:44:52] Speaker A: New York Knicks trailed 81:52 with nine minutes left in the third quarter.
That's crazy.
[00:44:59] Speaker B: What nine minutes? So that means nine. So in the next 20. What next 21 minutes.
That means a San Antonio scored in the next 21 minutes 25 points.
[00:45:11] Speaker A: That's amazing.
[00:45:12] Speaker C: I mean it's, it's an all time kind of choke job. I think that were you where it potentially doesn't get remembered unlike the 28 three Patriots, Falcons, super bowl is the spurs have the opportunity to make this up. They win the next game.
Hell, they even force a game seven. You kind of forget about this at this point where it comes down to one game kind of later. So I think that's, that's, that's the difference you think about this game is like, yeah, it's an all time comeback which is awesome for the Knicks. But I don't think you remember the choke and the spurs like you would for the Falcons in the super bowl because of it's a one one game winner take all type thing.
[00:45:47] Speaker A: Yeah, agree.
Cool, man. Well, I'll do it then. Source from the sofa. Good to have all the guys back. We'll come back for some more reactions maybe after F1 on Sunday night or something.
[00:45:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:46:00] Speaker A: Oh, what's the game? So, so Saturday is the next game. We got, we got Barcelona on Sunday more.
[00:46:09] Speaker B: Was it Barcelona Grand Prix at six in the morning on Sunday.
[00:46:13] Speaker A: Okay. Oh man, we got a lot of sports. Yeah. We got to come back on Sunday then.
Yeah, we're not waiting. So we'll be back more with Sunday then. Full recap.
[00:46:22] Speaker B: Three episodes in one week from the B team. I mean that's impressive. That is impressive.
[00:46:29] Speaker A: Oh man. Yeah. Cyber will probably be bound. I'll be on Sniper's podcast for the next two days, tomorrow and Friday.
[00:46:37] Speaker C: Oh, he's doing guest spots different A team schedule now.
[00:46:40] Speaker A: Snipers guest spot.
[00:46:41] Speaker B: Hey, I mean look at. Man, it's tough. It's tough. You know, we're basically on these 10 day contracts hoping you get picked up for another pod.
[00:46:52] Speaker A: All right, I'll do it. Source of the sofa.
Catch us every week on Apple podcasts Spotify.
We're back.
[00:47:02] Speaker B: Quick, quick before we go Rome because we're gonna do a recap who you got in the Grand Prix this week in Jason.
[00:47:12] Speaker C: I think this is a George Russell week.
[00:47:16] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:47:16] Speaker C: I. I think George is going to. To recover back. I think. I think it'll be definitely a Mercedes.
A Mercedes W2. I think. George, we talked about this on the the recap last week.
This is where Kimi started to fall apart last year. Now, I know he's definitely better and, you know, and the car is obviously better, but when you looked at George had an engine failure. Lando's had an engine failure with the Mercedes engine. I think what keeps this thing competitive is that the rule of averages at some point is that there's going to be something with Kimi's car from an engine failure perspective. Also his aggressive. Aggressiveness in some of these tracks. Does he take himself out in a certain point? I don't think that's gonna be this track. I think you're probably going to see something from George. You'll see a Mercedes, probably a Mercedes. Podium with Lewis.
[00:48:05] Speaker A: I agree.
[00:48:06] Speaker B: I think there's two Mercedes on the podium, But I see Kimmy getting number six. I think he lands here in Barcelona.
[00:48:13] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:48:14] Speaker B: But I do hope George does because, you know, as you know, I got some action on George to win the drivers championship, but the constructors Cup, I'm looking good with team Mercedes there.
[00:48:23] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:48:25] Speaker C: Nice. It was a solid bet.
[00:48:27] Speaker A: Pretty good bet. All right, before I say we're out, you know, like, we're.
Never mind. It was gonna be, like, a weird analogy. I'm not gonna do that right now.
[00:48:39] Speaker C: I thought you were gonna go like, hey, we tried to end this podcast for about the last five minutes.
[00:48:43] Speaker A: Yeah. No, because every time about the starting shots, always. It's always Aaron, like, wait a minute before we go.
[00:48:49] Speaker B: Well, you know, man, hey, like, when you're. When you're the B team and you ain't been on in, like, six weeks, you got. You got to get him your talking points.
I got a full list here on the notepad. You want to see it? Right?
[00:49:00] Speaker C: I understood. I understood what Aaron was saying. The last one.
[00:49:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:49:02] Speaker C: The last pot.
[00:49:03] Speaker B: I just like this show blank.
[00:49:05] Speaker C: I had so much I had to say. The last pot, it was just me and Rome. So I got a lot more in Aaron. Aaron's just got, you know, got a lot to say.
[00:49:11] Speaker A: So. Fair enough.
He wasn't around, but, yeah, I. I'm.
[00:49:15] Speaker B: I agree with Jason. I think law of averages are going to catch up to Kimmy. I just don't think it's this weekend, but we'll see. We'll see. George Russell's had some bad luck, man.
[00:49:25] Speaker A: Really bad luck. I feel bad.
[00:49:27] Speaker B: He's kind of. He's kind of like, the spurs just can't close out these. These tight races.
[00:49:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:49:32] Speaker B: Hopefully it changes. Spurs going to game seven. George Russell wins I like it. I'm on it. That should be the headline of this show.
[00:49:38] Speaker A: Maybe you should parlay that.
[00:49:40] Speaker C: I was gonna say that. Parlay that.
[00:49:42] Speaker B: I like that even more.
[00:49:43] Speaker A: Rome, what are the odds? They're probably, like, 100 bucks to win. 10 grand.
Something crazy, man.
[00:49:49] Speaker B: Yeah, that'd be nice.
[00:49:51] Speaker A: Maybe. Let's sell the ticket. All right.
Take three. Source of the sofa.
We are out.
