It's like that meme where the guy takes the gun and flips it around. But what you're not telling them is I texted you Maya My live bet on Fan. You did, you did tax me that. And I bet twenty dollars fifty four cents. Now you know why would you bet twenty dollars fifty four cents for no, there's only one reason becausecause you're the Texas tech quarterback No, the second reason is because you that's exactly what you have left in your account. Oh sor. Or be twenty dollars. at fifty four cents. I had the Nix were at plus fourteen hundred Money line. I do that, but I'll even it out too. So if there's thirty fifty four, I'll put twenty four then I've got an even fifteen dollars b Yeah. But that hit you believed you believed with your twenty dollars. No, but also then you wrote I wrote, These guys are twenty two and then they win the game. You wrote, Let's go. That was insane. I said, I called it. We have a guy. We have a closer We have a guy I've been forever. And then I said, you do have OG and an Oie. Yeah, we have a guy that'll miss the shot and then the other guy will tip it in ten feet away. Okay. so now that you have had Not yet twenty four hours as we are recording this on Thursday night. Tw in It's all shocking. the moment even last night I got done watching that game and I was like, you know what? It's like I'm going to go to bed I went downstairs and I said, I told my wife I said, you know what I'm going to go back upstairs to watch the posts gpe because I just wanted to hear them talk about it because I because ABC goes to something else And then they go Yeah Yeah, I didn't flip over to ESPN. I would some local news for me. like very quickly. it's like, wow, got a cold front coming into tomorrow. It's like what shit. Well, I went I went back and I stayed up and I watched because I was like, I can't I can't fall asleep two amed after that day. that thing I can't believe What I just watched. I can't believe the scenes around it. And so ended up just like You don't really until this morning, start to fully comprehend everything that took place. Obviously, there's a ton of podcasts. I'm reading all kinds of articles about everything that happened Tell me about the last The hours and what that has been like post your team pulling off the greatest comeback in NBA finals history. We will will break down the game att length, right? But I want to take you through a little bit of my experience last night. As I mentioned, I had a seven o'clock rec league game, right Oh that's right. So We played this team. And I think they're all Japanese and they whax us constantly. There' They're fast And the second we dump it into the poke because we're bigger than them They just double and like slap the body of hands like so fast. we're all in our late forties. everyveryone's gotten multiple kids and we're all just like dadpotted, like just slow old dudes old on. The whole team is Japanese The other team? Yeah. they communicate in Japanese. Yeah And they're really good. They're good. They they've owned us, but we've turned the tides lately. Anyway, they're missing their best player. We win the game, but The conditions are crazy because it's on like the second floor and it was so humid. I'm a big sweater. I'm the sweatiest person you've ever met in your life. No it's so humid. It's like running through mud and I'm just like soaked And we had four people to start We to start the game with four people until Tony showed up. Anyway, we win the game. It was a good performance and we go to the bar Meanwhile My son has just turned thirteen. so for the first time I put My kids in charge of the other kids. So I've got twin ten year olds, a thirteen year old and a baby. My wife is at a movie premiere for a documentary shot to Rola Cpe on Gosee. and justice. and They So the kids are in charge and then I go to the bar at eight o'clock. Wait w out of the baby of the baby My son put the baby to bed. No parents are there. I put schedules on the fridge. I put things. Yeah. So then I'm getting all these faceimes from my kids being like, Quincy's on his computer. the schedule says he's gott to be off his computer by eight o'clock and nowo he's texting and she's not supposed to. And so they're fac the Ix game hasn't started yet And I have like T beers with my team because we always have a couple beers after a recue game. I don't have a show that night, whatever Right And the game starts And it starts like every other game in this series. The spurs just look better, faster, younger, better The nicks just don't look ready And I looked at my teammates and I was like, I'm out of here I'm gone Go home And the Kicks are getting trrounced. And my kids are complaining about everything I was like you guys to stay as laz as you want as long as you're watching the next game. They have no interest in the next game, but they they like to stay up right and it' summer They're down by twenty. No, their school's not out yet. They're now at twenty. They're at twenty five. Wait, you're not schoolool's not out yet. No, it's not out for like a couple of weeks. Yeah Because we have every holiday for every religion, ethnicity, everything off always. L they never they've been gone to school five straight days for years. Every week, me like, what days are you guys have off this week? I have no idea There's holidays I've never heard of Nvil. And in the South we're never off. I'll keep some myself good. Anyway, they're down by twenty five and I'm mad dad at this point Go to bed. I put the girls to bed, Quincy's still awake. Like go to bed. they all go to bed. I'm sitting there by myself in my living room And it starts to turn But like I lost my mind I was just by myself, my wife is out. I lost my mind for I'm screaming, I'm kicking things. I'm looking out the window. I was like, should I leave and go to the bar? I just don't even know what to do with myself. I lost my mind. You're alone You're alone alone. I'm just allone in my livingom every b's asle I screaming my face off. Well, I didn't know what to do with myself. And I've been to your house, Qucy's bedroom is on the other side of the TV. Yeah, he's out. He's gone. He's gone You deep sleepper. I rewatch the game today because I'm a serious journalist and I would like to prepare for the mismatch And rewatching the game like They go out and run in the third quarter, but it's like it's still kind of messy. L It wasn't like The Kicks never looked like the Spurs did in the first quar where they can't miss balls popping, offens is crisp. everythingverything's looking good. like They m wide open threes. they turn the ball over the whole second half If you didn't watch the game, you would assume that they just kind of like flipped like the Kicks look great in the second half And the spurs look bad just like the first half wentin. But that's not how it went Okay. well because I couldn't text you anymore I was texted with my bunker bro. I know you were. I was texted with my buddies while the game was going on. and as a impartial observer who wanted the K to win because I want you to be happy onnce they didn't make a run in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter because it was fifteen going into the fourth and when they They made no dent And there's like eight minutes left. That's when I was like, o, this isn't going to happen. likeike, you know, they needed to in fact I text my buddy. They needed to make a dent to start this quarter U and they didn't Thank I can't pinpoint it. I think Yeah I've got it written down here. Runson to Duce who misses a three. Yeah. Harper scores Robinson misses an allp that was easy And Rnd tries to tap in. Yeahes, sham it pushes whenemy L like they didn't Yeah, that they Built out a lead No right. No, it was fifteen and then it went up And then they went back down and I texted my buddies. I said, They you playiped these first four minutes of the fourth quarter and they haven't made a dent. It's still sitting at fifteen That's no good, right because now you're running out know's just time and score stuff And Maybe the Alvarado three was the time that I thought You know what? this I don't know what that cut it to. I don't have a written down ninety five, seventy eight I have it right here when it was still seventeen points That was the w first three he hit. The first three. No, no, Okay, what was the second one? the second one, Alvo. Why are making me do this work Sorry Albow three pointer that that one cut it to one hundred to one hundred four with three minutes left That's the one That's the one No that's the one that I saw they're going to do this. There's three minutes left. It's a seven point game. Yes. and then the kid from Brooklyn who shouldn't be in the game who never sees the floor hits a three and the guarden just loses it. That's Now you're down four, but it feels like you're up ten and on cloud nine. Yeah. That's the that's the exact point that I remember because it's a seven point game. when he hit that, I'm like, oh my go, they're going to actually do this ' it's four now I mean, you're you're you're now in a two possession gang And you've got three minutes left And you got all the momentum in the world. I mean, that place was on absolute fight abolute fire And God, Alarado flipped that game present him Brown playing him with Brunson They didn't have any he made Wemy irrelevant It was crazy. Elvarado? Yes What? Oh because you can't put him on Nothing to do Yeah. there's no natural And he's He's in on every play. He's like screening off the ball. He's getting down into the lane and throwing it back out. What about that weird little like, he's creating so many little like three hundred sixty triple thing he did. I've never seen that on a basketball court before. It looked like you ever go to those parties you had have to put your nose on a bat and spin around ten times. L looks like he was doing that in the middle of the lane and then it got an easy bucket Also unsure if I've ever seen anybody try the one leged takedown. What was that? Unbelievable. I just feel like he felt like he had to retaliate against Weemby And he's like, I'm going do something. He just like grabbed his leg for no reason. It was like, okay, Al All right, so now when you went back and watched it Bro I mean, the the first half iss like there wass like a there was nonviolent huck Porty minutes. They put soh in the game He played twelve guys in the first half Mitch Robinson played like four consecutive minutes that had to take him out because of fatigue. I'm like, my guy You're a professional basketball player. It's it's so hard. You know, when something like that happens, it will all get lost rather unless you do like you did watch it back feeling even though You remained hopeful that they could come back or make a run or Make it againame. mean I bet my hard earn money on it. I hard probably stretch. I understand, but in the in the moment of that game Belt I mean, and the reactions to Robinson loses his mind. Alvarado los his mind. It's like The Spurs are killing them and they've lost complete composure until Yes. they have. They have lost total composure Fers are making everything they take Every everything E. E. They made it all. They made But they're but also they're not they're not like making crazy tough like fadeaway Threes likeike they're just swing swing open bang. But the Nicks cannot get a stop to save their life And they are like freaking out Like they're they're doing things that are totally out of their personality. It was also man like The game starts, I'm just like Can we please just like keep it even for the first five minutes because they haven't done that this entire series. And what happens seven seconds into the game Town's foul Fox is driving left towns is like those little like It's the first possession. Yeah, it's like right off the jump. Towns won one jump this series. I was so proud of them Do doesn't look like hippie move, you know what I mean? Yes. And it was a foul on the replay, it's like Sure. I mean, I haven't really been calling it like that this series, but it's it's we but it's can't challenge it or argue it. like you did it And then the Then it was the You remember the call on Weimby It's a foul And then Black Elon Musk is like looking at his people and they're like reay challenge it. it's so weird to challenge something in like the first minute, you know what I mean? Beuse like you kind of want to keep it in your back pocket, but it's not only is it Bal and Windby they think they could taking off the board They must have thought that perhaps they could get the bal on towns. That I thought was really, really soft. That was game altering as well Yeah I mean because I mean, now you've taken towns out of it When you you know the plan I'm talking about. Oh yeah when I saw the replay when I saw the replays like, that's a clean block It'll get overturned I did not think that's a clean block They're going to call an offensive foul on towns Anbody he like his arm going to the basket. 'use if you watched Towns and Wimby throughout the series, like T lineemen at the line of screames like right Just don't grab a jersey and yank it in broad daylight and they won't call anything I agree with you. I thought that was insignificant. what do they call it marginal contact, whatever. When you when they reviewed that, did you think they would end up being a Falent toowns I couldn't believe it I couldt try to be like a Homer nick guy. like I'm not objective about this. I thought it was a clean block. I was like, Oh, that was going get overturn I I didn't think I also didn't think the hook was bad or created some kind of going basket. You know what I mean The point of that Yeah the point of that is did this create some kind of advantage hook this guy he got blocked What advantage did he create? And then so now we got Mitchell Robinson looking like, who me? You know what I mean? It's like, me? In the game M I swear I had When Sohan came in and took that just God awful shot I was like, what is happening? I mean they did put him in just like for a defensive possession, but they weren't like try is shootingays for so. Why are you shooting? Bro, I didn't mind that something has to happen here. It's a damn airball Oh my God So things from this. There was I have a million things. so many notes. Let me hear Let me hear the biggest the things that stood out the most Number one I'll give you some credit for this. brought this to my attention You texted me A link. to an Instagram post because we're old. we don't TikTok And it was the announcement that Wu Tang Klan was performing at halftime And that is when I was like, ooh they could win. And they're down twenty seven in half at the end of the performance Method Man says Nixon five coincidence Coincidence Just askking a question. Do you think that's coincidental that the tides turned right after Wu Tang performed I think that I wouldn't want to argue it in court. No I wouldn't want to argue against it. I wouldn't want to say that's ridiculous. Of course Wu Tang had nothing to do with the basketball game But it's a Wu Tang clan And it's method manan. And he did say that and it didn't work out into their way. And so who am I Who am I to say that didn't have a profound impact? especially Especially when James Dolan Can I just can I can I do a little bit of a defending real quick of my guy Christian and Scooby My favorite NBA halftime act a mismatch listener who I have grown to know over the years Christian and Scooby He is a performer that was on America's G Tal. He's got the dog his dog Scooby and they do unbelievable tricks. It's the crowd pleaser of all crowd pleasers, right who he's best James Dolan goes on WFAN and he said, we have had Harty V. And the reuniting of the Wu Tang clan, the Spurs had a dog on a balloon or something. A dog a do on a beach scy dog dog on a beach ball. And I immediately texted Christian and I said, hold on. I said, arere you now all in on the spurs? And he's like, no, that is legitimately hilarious. Like legitimately hilarious that the guy went on the radio and he said, we had Cardi B and the reuniting of the Wu Tang clan. and they had a dog on a beach ball It's my guy. It's a good show. It's a great show. It's a good show. Still out, James Dle It was weird. It put me in a bad spot because I was like, I love Christian and Scooby. That's like no Wu Tang clam. is But that's also super funny This episode is brought to you by Weather Tech Buying something for dad for Father's Day usually goes the same way every year. guessing, second guessing, and ending up with something that collects dust on a shelf.

When the Nicks were down by twenty nine points I had twenty dollars and fifty four cents left in my Fandle account And I put twenty dollars fifty four cents on a plus fourteen hundred money line bet for the Kicks to win and lo and behold, OG Annaobi. flew through the sky in a basket. to win me about three hundred and eight dollars And you can do the same at game five I don't know if you should be betting a team that's down twenty nine points But I think that Victor Wimbinyama after A really bad second half after The tob is free throws We'll bounce back You know an objective. journalist kind of And I don't love Viictor Menbinyama, but I do think that he will have a great showing. So I'll be betting the over on his points. I'll be betting the Kicks to win I also think that Jalen Brunson will continue his heater that he was on at the end of game four in game five. So I expect the big guns, the Wembinyama and Brunson to have big games and If you haven't noticed shamit and Duce on the Ns are out of favor. in the rotation.

Do you who really stuck out to me? the rewatch because you know, people talk to me about the game all the time, strangers, friends, whatever, like, you know, a million group chats about the Nicks And there's so much focus on this Fx layup, right? And all day long I've been like How did that happen How do you like you know, you get taught to like dribble that out in like high school. Like it's such a basic thing was like a JR Smith level like brainfart in the moment When I rewatch it Here's one thing you forget is he never dribbles So it's not like he's dribbling up to the hole And he's like sizing OG up. Giving him some grace on this when I rewatch it. I don't know if you've seen it again, but like Ball gets tipped out and he sort of catches it in stride. and then takes two steps to shoot. Okay. So number one I understand it's a ridiculous When do When you're a ten year veteran, you got to know time and score and sitation course. Yeah. Now get the best the best excuse I have heard was actually made by I saw this clip of Kam Johnson Wh who I guess now does the podcast at JA Redic leftft O man ander Yeah. And he said He was defending Fox by saying It's De Earon Fox He's been playing basketball his whole life. I'm paraphrasing You've been played Bals all life. How many times do you think Deron Fox has ever lost a foot race? How many times do you think he anybody has ever caught him? Cught up to So he is like. All right. he's got the lead And he's going to go in. he's going to make the layup I mean, well to listen, like here's what I've been thought about R in his mind, it's easy pulling It's that's a buck. And also like you if I encourage everybody to watch it again because youll you'll see what I'm saying. It's like the ball sort of like takes him to the hoop It's weird. It's like it's in motion. He's running that way. He doesn't dribble it In my head last night, he was dribbling and decide to take it up interestested, but he does not dribble the ball. he's like he's sort of like in motion towards the hole. However, counterpoint I didn't think it happen, Bargain and one is you score the layup, your team goes up by three and there's twelve seconds left, right If you triple it out basasically in the same scenario with less time So it's like what do you really want out of this? Do you want two points or do you want to take off time and get two points? Obviously the latter is the better option Yes But I do want everyone to watch it one more time. I'm not saying it's the right thing.' that you did's not the Youube. It's not as yeah, it's not as like bad as it was in my head 'ause I've been trashing him all day to like random people in the subway or whatever. And I rewashed it and I was like, I kind of get it Well Look, there's no question. It's a it's a Horrible mistake that is going to hang on him for ever like peopleople are not going to forget that because it's just gotten so much talk And because it was emblematic That's the play you think of Yeah it actually got Weemby's mis freree throws off the hook. No because the Yes, it did in terms of you think of when you think of like the signature play of the collapse is It's kind of is really signature play is the OG tip That's the sign that' that's going to be the one you talk about in ten years but no no, no, I'm talking about on the spur side. Yeah. When you think I think I think it's the bigger nou. Webinyama. Big star ninety percent from the free throw line in the big spot misses the first one and you can see it on his face You know why you have to miss that. You know why you missed that shoes on. No She wasn't grounded. He had shoes I saw shoes. I saw why he missed. I saw Joe, I was doing the humpty Tumpty. He said He said I was doing the humpty Tumpty I was doing humpty humpty and I was like never heard that The humumpty Dumpty He said he was doing the humumpty dumpty dance. And you've seen that you've seen the clip. He's doing something Yeah He's righting he's right in the peripheral. He's doing the humumpty dumpty dance. And it threw it threw Wy off Wby like Beyond the miss freree throws. a second half He saw three for three for fourteen. one of four from the free throw line because he split his other pair A minus twenty seven Well in the second half? Second half So what that's not good because they're up twenty seven at the end of the first half. It was it was like math. and that's why I told you about the the Alvarado thing Alvarado is like having the extra ball handler and him It just made him Part of the reason that Wimby was getting pulled away from the basket. The other thing is he gets gassed It's so weird. It's a so weird. It's a twenty nine minute per game player for an entire season. So now you're playing forty something And remember game three, the first four possessions Dunk L. Oh yeah and one. And it's just like in the fourth quarter, jump shot. threeree point, jump shot. threeree point, jump shot It's just it's just, it's hard work to go in there. He's getting tagged by little guys pushed around by big guys It's hard You know what I mean? it's it's hard to do that And he looks at it and he's like, Wellow, this like work, Mbe this's real going. and they don't. when I told you that I came back upstairs to watch the postcape show because I just wanted to see what they were talking about Ernie Johnson said something during the course of that post game show that made me fall off of my couch. Cardi Deez? He did not say that was the game before. He said the spurs were two of fourteen in the paint in the second half It's impossible It's impossible when When you got a guy who' seven foot six, it's impossible. Okay But remember, but there was those times when we were like missing tip it and missing tip it. Th going inflate that a little bit. Two for fourteen though They made two baskets. But you understand what I'm saying. I think one of those possessions Weby missed it twice tapped it in. and one of those possessions he tapped it three times. So it's like not that bad. It's probably two of nine. It's still I mean, when when when a third of his shots are from the three point line, That's a win for the Nicks. Oh hell ye. And he took three twenty five shots and eight threes. And how many times do you remember him around the basket the second half of that game? The second half sl That's just that's just slow it down. Let's get a bucket. Let's throw it down to our guy. Let's go get a bucket because this is going the wrong way Instead, it was just jack three, jack three Jack It was transition the other way. It was crazy. it's like it's almost like Hittding shots is contagious in the first half The cell's on fire, Cassel's hitting shots, Champennees hits one or something. And then in the second half, missing shots is contagious too And they they sort of likeike All of the three points shooting from the first half was going to carry over in the second half But they kept feeling that way. at some point, get yourself closer to the basket I need to see if I if I just want this Three of seven threeree of seventeen from three to a fourteen in the paint second half twentyw shots in the third quarter, twelve of them were from three I was I was I was watching the second half I watching the second half there's this key little the turno the The turnaround starts U I think it was Bridges hits OG on a cut to the basket for a dump It cuts it to like At that point, I think it's like nineteen And then they kick the ball out from out of bounds And Champagne hits like a semi transition pull up three with twenty seconds on the shot clock and misses And then Brudson comes down and hits a three And it's it's it's those like Bad three pointer with thirteen seconds on the clock from Bll who couldn't hit anything in the second half You hit everything the first half And it's just sort of like again, like this is very productive. Those are like Young mistakes Well yeah. shooting threes When you're up By almost twenty points with twenty seconds left in the shot clock is just bad basketball Well, and to me, the biggest thing is Mitch Johnson and D Aaron Fox Those are the two guys because your other ve Beombo, Harrison Pars. Th these guys don't even play for you. Everybody on that ward is Everybody on that court is young And you've got a young head coach. bro That has to be on Johnson of five's a point guard in the coach. to settle that thing down End of story It has to happen. You can't be looking to and this is the trouble with, you know your best player and your leader Be a guy that's going through it for the first time You know, that they you We talk about scars. These are like Massive headwounds that are taking place. When we talk about like The talk about like young teams got to take scars. This is like This is so far beyond scars. This is two of the most horrific endings. that you could ever fathom the throwing the ball off your teammates back and then fouling and losing a game and then a guy skying above your whole team and tipping it in from five afterfter you miss two free throws you could like retty much ice the game. I mean This is the origin story if there ever was one. Well let me tell you something Berno I remember game two was a Friday night. I just gotten off the plane. I told the story. I was so excited And I woke up Saturday and I was like, it'd be so nick if they blew this I have the same feeling this morning I was on cloud. No, you don' And I'm like, you lose game five in San Antonio and then you come back here. There's a lot of pressure on you in game six Like who knows what happens there And then then it's games like this is series is not open. in my head. You got the weirdest fandom when it comes to this because You are is it weird Yeah, and any team hasn't won for fifty three years. they constantly disappoints you. That's weird To exicly bad to happen. because here's what I'm telling you You have this intense lack of confidence during non game time And then the most ridiculous amount of confidence During g And they paid you off They hold on us off. Hold on a second. I've never thought of it like that for no. But now that she mentioned it out loud, that makes a lot of sense. I mean, will you just please Venmo me the money you pay this stupid psychologist you go and talk to? first of all she can't disrespect Dana.' She can't explain this afternoon I' out next week. I'm have a week off. I don't know what to happen. You know be unin. up the reservation. All right. well look look look if there was ever a team to be confident in even when they're losing NBA teams, hereere's a couple stats for you NBA teams were Four and seven hundred and fifty downown twenty or more in the fourth quarter of a playoff game in the last more in seven hundred fifteen in the last in the last thirty years The Nicks have done it twice this post season That Cabs one was a true like Wh R You you know what I mean? It was likees tun miss. The cast fell apart. This didn't feel like that. They just kind of like scratched and claogged twenty five. team and then like You know, some would get and one would go back into twenty two like They had they did have like a ten z run, I think But outside of that, it was a lot of back and forth with just like Surs get it two and then. rson hits at three and you' all shipping away like that This is also insane because makes you think like man, if there ever was a team that was going to pull off something like this, it is them because teams down twenty plus. post season the last two years. The Nicks are five and three when they've gone down twenty plus. the rest of the NBA is four and seventy one Jesus and they are five and three. What? they have a winning record in the games that they have been down by twenty plus the last two post seasons. But Verno like that's two post seasons but like I just remember them being dominant since mid April Dia A couple of things I want to say. I don't like I've said this before, Ill it again, I'll say ailliones. I don't like questioning coaches' decisions because again, there's like Nine people that spend sixty hours a week thinking about this stuff. they know more about their roster and these decisions. they think more about it than I do a podcaster But man limitation s. I don't want to see Tylan Harper on the floor as a Kicks fan And I don't understand Why they don't feature him. was Let me see what he shot here. Yeah eight twelve three for six from three thirty two minutes But Vasll plays forty, Champanne plays thirty three, Rimignon plays forty four and Fox plays thirty eight Explain to me Why Black Elon Musk is not playing Harper more It's a It's a Fx thing I understand the that you want veteran point guard, a table setter, which Harper isn't But what about the cell I mean, he was hot in the first half. He's six for nine. Yeah Yeah. He was hot in the first half But I just I just know as a nick fan, When they take Harper out, I get happy I mean, he has the ball its scared And he's also a guy that could actually get some points in the paint for you, right In the paint. He goes other guys are shooters. Well castle Castle' not a shoot. I don't know. I mean, like the Belleamp Champenny I don't really, I don't think he's been particularly additive O Hper Youit two for dine from the field in one per seven three. like Rose is the numbers like, I don't know. I would start Harper And I would play him like a starter and put his rotation along with everybody else. It's tr the best players. It's truly unbelievable how awesome that guy is. 's like a rough He's like he fit this this is going to sound insane. He's obviously not there yet But like hes he finishes When he goes up around the basket, it's the same thing when Kyi goes up on the basket L like somehow somew way the balls going to end up in the hoo Yes. I don't know I don't know how. it might not look cool, but it's going to end up in the h Now, hit the the ceiling on him. as I told you, we are going to look back at him getting fourth in rookie of the yearar and that is just going to be People are going to wonder if everyone in the world was insane. Like what happened? And it was just it was just by virtue of the team that he was on. who was on also C was going to be great. No why not if VJ Edgeco looks great right against the Celtics But it' good like But this guy is like Yeah All NBA, team USA, like we're going to look up and Phill and Harper is a suuper duper star I'm here is He's Yeah, I'm more scared of him with the ball than Castle in the MBA finals and he's twenty years old Madison Square Garden. Yes therearing down Mariskco Harga tank And Larry David And Ben Stiller and Taylors What is she doing there? I'm so upset about this. I'm so upset about this fan. She's a big Kicks fan. Dum I don't know if you watched the Cabs series, but she sat courtside at the Cabs game That she went with that's Travis' team I understand that. Yeah. but pick aside, Taye. pick aside. You can't sit courourtside in Cleveland cheering for the calves and then two weeks later sit courourtside for the Kicks.ase share that. A sh you can side Stay on your side You're sure you can't do that. If you're Taylor Swift, it appears you can do anything you want to do. I don't think so. And I hated the shirts and I did. I did.

The spepecial Ns fan corresponded Yes ense. familiar with this discussion that we're having And she loves the mismatch And she left was she? Now I know you're lying She loves a mismatch and she she left us a voice message just for you V now Let's he David, hi. What's up? It's Annie I hope you can hear this. The boys just fell asleep and we're traveling. so I don't know how thin the laws are where we are Sorry to be so whispery Oh, I got your text and Thank you for wanting to hear my thoughts on this amazing moment. and Nick's franchise history U I'm not quite sure I'm at the like the thought. level yet, I'm just so Proud. I'm just so proud of our guys. Oh my gosh playing I think they're playing like kings. you know, just the way that they've been so So focused and then when it hasn't gone their way, they've been so calm and so resilient and through it all, they've been such a gorgeous team Like I just I look at them and they're all stars. They're amazing But they play like a team and It's it's just really, it's really inspiring watching New York at so united It's just unbelievable and, uh I thought it was funny that you ask why I haven't been to any games. And I thought I'd tell you, it's because In the beginning part of the playoffs, Prada was, you know, in theaters and I was doing press for it. so I just couldn't make it to the game scheduling wise. and then we were on that streak. And I thought You know how you know how the superstitious mind goes I was like, if this has anything to do with me not being there, Be there I can't, I can't. And so I just got in my head about it I actually got tickets to go to game three and then chickened out because I was like, no, can't I can't be selfish about this And Anyway, that game was what it was. But now I'm just like then I started thinking that like, Maybe even having the super anyway that's another thing for another day I'm just so proud. I'm so proud that shot me Chatoji made I'm never going to forget it I don't think any New Yorker I don't think any New Yorker will Anyway, these are some of my Late night whispered thoughts Love you man, miss you, go next That's a real fan.believable. That's a real fan. I talk to her It was her husband Adam's birday. shot to Adam. I love like that guy. He's greatest great An Hathaway by the way. Yeah. Yeah for those just a little bit behind the curtain. She is my my wife's college roommate. So I've known her since two thousand two. I didn't even know she was an actor when I met her. Like she's just like a close family friend and she happened to have a very successful movie career, like along that path. But we are actual friends, like not like industry friends And she's the sweetest person in the world and her husband is an amazing human being. Her husband is like perfect person. He is the like honestly. I ask him sometimes like, dude, do you have like evil thoughts? Be I have tons of evil thoughts I have to like repress and he like literally doesn't. He's the sweetest guy in the world. I love them both so much That is a real thing. I talked her I was like, why aren't you at these games? Like You're a fan and her kids love the mix. like her kids are like Over the moon And you can't and you can't be more famous than her Yeah, and what she's and she's like They're playing so well I don't want to sort of like break the street She's like, I don't want to show up and then they lose. L what's that look like? She's like, they're playing so well. that were I to go I don't want to like ruined The vibes Donald Trump didn't feel the same way. That's all I have to say as an exred vers not feel the same way. But that's a real fan. That's not Taylor Swift being like, let's make some own t shirts and get on camera. She's like, I could go But they're on a run right now So I'm going to watch it the same way I watched all the other games. Well what was? it was it Fallon that she went on with the OG What she was going on about OG and it was one of those shows when she was promoting Devil D' Prod. she started talking up OG and Oie Yeah we heard OG have a special bond because OG once dove over the scorer's table and like landbed in her lap And then they like end up winning. Yeah. Well, can we have a moment because we've gone so long in this podcast without Disgusting mayaybe the greatest sequence in the history of NBA finals games. I mean, look, the block in and of itself beat would go down in history evenven if somebody else hits the shot on the other end but to have the block And It Like like I mean it would be the greatest play of your career if you just blocked it And the greatest play of your career if you just got that tip in. He did both of them to it reminds you to win the game the chaseed down block from Leron and then when he tried to dunk on Dreamon to fudge the D The idea that Jayalen Brunson was like taking that shot because he knew that Wimboyyama wasn't around a rebound is absolutely insane. Jaylen Brunson was like, I'm going gonna win the game. I'm the captain. I'm Jaylen Brunson. That's what I do. I always like he was not doing the calculations. like, well, I Victor Wim Monyama is out here, which means we had to have some advantages with the rebounds. He was like, I'm going to hit this shot and then I'm to my clli and we're going to win. Like that was not like a calculation No I saw somebody else like unbelievable play call by Mike Brown, you know, for OG and Adoobbe to be able to sign and play call is play call is give it to eleven. If it's under two minutes it's close, it's give it to eleven That's one And that was just pure unadulterated hustle. The other thing is that is a still photo and poster that is going to hang up in every wall in New York City for till the end of time And if they win the championship, like the problem with people that aren't expans is like They just acting like the series is over. They did not win four games Why Tex It felt like They didn't B no. I got it. but like I texted you the other day Uh hilarious tweet. I can't even remember who it was, but said that There's so many Nicks fans that are experiencing their first loss because they, you know, they hadn't it's been forty six days since they lost. And so game three was the first time that And there's a huge portion of N expands. for the first time they experienence lost man, have they Ab mean I Look, you're in that you're in the mix. You're there The way they have galvanized that city Araz. What video that I love the most I'm sure you've seen it because you've seen all the videos that one of the West Village When he makes a shot Oh I've seen them all. abbsolute Pandemodium and they're in the street in the street bigict projectors on a brick wall. That's what it is. everyone's showing the videos of them beating up sppurs fan. That's like just a few bad apples ruining the big apple. like yes. it's a lot of Thousands of people together celebrating the Ks It's not people beat each other with with bus signs and like beating up spurs fans and try to light them on fire. Like it makes me so mad. It's a lot of like happiness and celebration New York is a very safe city, I. Yeah. One guy tries to send somebody on fire' like Exactly try to set a human on fire. What are you doing It's just like hard to do. It was It was one guy. One guy. just there's four hundred ninety nine, nine hundred thousand ninety nine nine million other people in this city. but that one guy is gonna give us a reputation. I got There's a lot of other things I want to talk about from this game man Can I can I get one that's going can I give you one that's going to make you bad I asked him call into the show as well But he turned me down And that was the great Kenny Akinson because I asked him to tell us analytically Analytically, it's too too Yeah Yeah, I got the shot quality. Oh. you got them. Yeah, shot quality lastast night it was one and nine one hundred eight first That was a spurs w. An analyt Let me say something. They had great looks in the second half and just could not knock them down. Analytically. that was a sppurs win the case you wondered Kenny Atkinson's got this series too two I've got some things. The heart lay up that almost killed Larry David I'm sure you've seen this video buddy have I ever Oh my God. It really almost I think it really almost killed Leardin. How about Josh Hart? who is? The winner of all winners. like I still I want him in every fox hole G That smoke layup and the missed box out on Castle were just whole time losing ples. Those were the layu I can get passport. like your whole thing is like doing the little things and being a role player. likeike boxing out, it's one of the things it's supposed to be like on your strength. Well, and he went to the podium last night and he It was a fusive praise of OGee.,'s like, thank for failing me out Oh yeah. like Because that. I one thousand percent didn't realize this at the time But the cat tipping the inboundance p. because another thing is like, The OG Tip There's one point two seconds left and don't forget Chame one Game two When Wimbinyama rose up fifteen feet with a clean look at the basket. Again, this is like a really good jump shooter from fifteen like. Anyone listening to this has spin on a basketball court? That's not a really tough shot You know what I mean? Like that's like an elbow jumper. like that's not can make it. It's not stry then he missed it So I'm thinking like There's still a chance they went that the the Nick fowl that can happen or you know or Wemy just catches it, turns around and hits and then they start celebrating. like the game wasn't won with the OG tip. And then cat Did you see him move the fans over to get them closer closer to the inbou who I think was who was Harper? Do you know Yes Harper Harper's inbouter. You know about that. think about that. You're miss Johnon like, hey, twenty old kids like the ball the finals. No, do you remember they had a chance to win earlier in the playoffs and he underthrew it Theyad Castle at the rim. Was that Oklahoma City I think' Oloma City And they had they run the same not that same play, but another one where he got free D told me that was the Andrew Wiggins he play because I remember that guy watching that game. I think we got we got a show that night or something Yeah because we were texting about it because I think it was the night there wass like three different back to back to back game w. If Kat doesn't tip that ball, they They win the game on Maybe, maybe possibly but like he broke free He broke free. He did Castle was going to have a look at that It does a great cat Everyone's gonna remember the OG tit. Yeahep. but not the OG block, notot the cat because not a sexy plated you know, get a fingernail on the inbounds pass to blow it up But that was that was absolutely huge. All right. what else do I have? I've got Oh This u Pro probably should have mentioned this earli Do you know who I was so happy for Last night Forget all the celebrity fans and obviously I was happy for you and everybody Grro Mike Bream I mean Can you imagine The Euphoria Can you imagine what was running through his veins Call that when his whole life and he's the one and he's called so many Horrible team. games for eighty two. Like it's I don't think people understand you know hopefully those that listen to this show understand that like When you because I go to every single game, but I go to every single home game home game right Yeah. And when the team is awful is so draining is so it's such a terrible feeling and they went through seventeen seasons or whatever where they had a miniscule amount of playoff wins. Mike Breen be in the voice of that team, a team that he loves, a team that he lives and dies with. He wants them to win every single night. And now he's the guy on national television. seems like the greatest guy in the world. I listen to that podcast. Oh yeah Zach Low a couple of weeks ago and I was like I can't love Mike Breen anymore. And then for him to get Hall that. as the Nicks announcer for so many years, but now working for ABC. and I do not think I do not think that he is I I do not think it I think he is impartial the entire game I do not I This is how you know how great he is There's not there's not a world of people going This feels messed up. the next Ss fans are in arms. Yeah, they're not up in arms. No. he he does he's a he's he's a pro pro but bro you know I know what he must be feeling. Oh yeah. I actually, I can't even think of because he went through How I mean, how many seasons of he sweet Freaking call it Alonso tririer game for God's sake, you know, with like all those seasons And he just just totally thankless leaving the arena every night just like, oh my God And there's another one. There's another one on Friday and now I was Yeah I was rewatching it when he says, Is that is shaking right. I swear God I almost cried. I know Beuse I know how was going to end, but I was just like He's seen the guarden not shake. let's just say that. Itsish you a lot of quiet basketball contest where the Kicks are down twenty five and it's empty in the fourth quarter and he's just got to get to the finish line because I don't think it's I don't think it's That is the greatest comeback that has ever happened ever Ever It's littered with huge plays Aver And oh can I speak on this to I've got another note here Do you want to know when I This is so much bigger than our niche and be a thing that we talk about all time, right Like we're the ones watch all seas, whatever. We talked about how it's obviously taking over New York, whatever My mom was texting me throughout this game last night. say My dad doesn't watch the NBA except for G Chrisy' games, like just because I'm on them. like that's it. Like he doesn't care Yeah. She said my dad was screaming. My dad, when I was a little kid, my dad worked at Timesquare He wants He wants the Ks to win for sure And She said he's screaming in the back. I'm telling you, if my parents are watching this NBA finals Everybody is watching this NBA but. My parents are seventy seven and seventy eight O no, my dad just turned seventy nine. so respectiveably seventy nine and seventy seven and they arere not like Both of them. Totally locked in last night. I'm like, what is going on? What is? What is What is going on And the games are al long, even on central time, they go pretty late. Yes Oh yeah, they could not be and I'm like, this is This is different This is de That's never happened in my life ever. Never And everybody and I mean everywhere I went today everywhere I went to them. Somebody mentioned that game last night And it's and I'm I live in Memphis by the way Like it's all anybody talks about. It's all anybody talks about A couple things I want to say from the ground here and I texted you this Monday And again, like the cities generally disorted just like everybody else in the world, like a little sleepy on Monday. You know what I mean? It' a little later than normal, little no pep in your step the weekend kind of whatever Everyone had Nix gar Everyone's so fired up about the game and the loss and the Trump of it all. And I think some of those like Violence videos justust sort of like dampen some of the excitement is a mood killer. Yeah. I mean the losost obviously number one.. I mean they w thirteen straight games. so it was like, And they won two on the road So it was just like everyone was like wearing their knicks. because they was In fairness, you start to question the first two after you lose three. Yeah, Like you're like you know what? actually in fairness is shouldn't the one Yeah. you mean they kind of gave away too Yeah. one was a lot closer than final score. And I felt like Wednesday morning and Wednesday walking around the city It seemed of like a much more subdued energy The nexts And today, guess what? afterfter that game back upp We're back. Well the other thing that is funny is There was a Wh they say cross the Rubicon. They cross the Rubicon on Wemby after three though Obviously you did your whole bit about how much you hated him But you were talk about that. You were not unique Okay, because I started to see it was like that was the moment where Like all of a sudden people are like, you know what, man I don't like all this barefoot drawing. you know phony Hey it was so funny. I' doing this You know I've been doing this for a year. For a year and you've made it it here. You went on Zach Low's podcast and all bl anounce and called it. Let me take you behind the curtain You're on the text thread. Were you asked for comment No, you're on the text bill. You're on the text reed where I was like, I I said I f and hate it's a group chat we have. I was like, I f and hate your womimen Yama And Zack responds I don't I want to pull it up. He responds like Bring that energy to the pod. Keep that energy on the pod. So he requested that. You know what I mean? That's any one. I'd slept two hours a night before. so it wasn't my most like articulate take in the world because I had to do our show and then take my daughter to track in the morning and I couldn't sleep So I did this. I saw the headline. It said, Dave Jacobbe with bizarre Weies rant It is like I just I just want to say like, The internet could be so nasty. I didn't be I didn't know it was going to be so polarizing It was like, it was obviously like politics or something I just I was just like, I personally don't like Victor Wimiyama. That's my like That's my statement I don't like the guy. I think that he like curated PR you don't think it's, you don't think it's all fs. You don't think it seems fake. You don know whatt mean to me It reads like that. It it reads fake to me You know what I mean And I say that and they clip it and they put it out. comments were just wild and my wife who doesn't know anything about anything besides the Mit Johns looks likelack E Lam Mus. That's her only M herer contribution. Yes. I had to I had to tell her who Viictor Ribinama was. a game for the Thunder series. She's just like not know who he is And she's like popped up in my algorithm And then she starts reading the comments and then she comments like, She did not She did Like John Harfper. She's our devil in our pres. She's never listened to the mismatch once. She doesn't even listen to food news. She's never watched any show I've ever been on And she was like, speak your truth for the New Yorkers or something else like showey like I' like this one myself don't worry about. Oh no. It's like I don't need She got it on the comments. But was like I fully didn't expect that to be a thing for no Fully did not. did not I just don't like the guy. And like some of the insults are like Silly L people calling me like racist or whatever. It's like, okay, fine But it's like sometimes they kind of hurt my feelings. You know what?ike this podcast is usually like high level basketball analysis. Why do you have hats like this on with clipbait? I'm kind of like, who, that kind of hurts my feelings a little bit. If you list to the rest of the show, there was some basketball analysis. My favorite was one that I got tagged on and it was like this guy was all mad about it all And would he say? He said typical ESVN. And I was like, we're not but' not. He also, Do it blew my mind The sweetest man in the world, like the most measured, responsible, intelligent person Sean Fenacesey is on Bill S show being like, fuck Victory. was just like dude. I was like welcome welcome to the party. My guy Jn Fantasy. st him is so like together. Here's what I'll tell you so all of this then explains that the spotlight and the magnitude of what is happening in the NBA finals, whether it is my parents watching it, whether it's something that you've been saying for a long time. the spotlight is so bright on everything because this is So u And I do not think I can't remember the last time was thing maybe Probably LeBron and Curry like that honestly back to them Yeah, yeah, those were that's okay. That was the those epic. And Katie was involved. Yeah, those were epic. That was the thing. And also World Cup is here Oh yeah And it is it is. I mean, I watched the Mexico game earlier today. U It is a second fiddle right now. That is a that is a third banana. like the World Cup is happening, but no one cares. Right? We're going to have to wait for this to be over You know what? if the United St looks good against tomorrowight Tmorrow night, I'll be locked in. I like like I like the World Cup. and Whenever says USA across the chest, I there's a little more interest from David Jacoi. Like I got go like little national pride. Well because we also got, you know, we've had a little We've had like that communal experience with obviously what happened with Curry in the Olympics and then Jack Hughes Right when they just pulled that off we've had some really good USA, USA stuff going on over the courses of the last four years.. cururry beat in that Oh, Viictor Lzubinyama H tryry afterwards. The only difference the only difference is Curry hit the three he need Brunson missed it, but oJ didn it couple of things I do want to say I'm seeing defense Victory loseing me Yama right Blues videoo Two things The clip going around of like he's trying to kill OG's knee. I just think that's just a tall goofy guy. Now of C course. Youave youve seen that clip? like And I was like, listen, like of all people they would like jump on the like any hint of Wimbinyama being dirty. you know,, you know, I'm all over that. But I watched that clip and people like sending it to me and I was just like Guys, no, like, that's just a seven foot six dude trying to stop. Like you what I mean? Like, if that's not someone trying to injure somebody And I thought But It's a tough look to be like, I'm in your head, I'm in your head. and then not put two feet in the paint for the rest of the entire game. Is it possible that when If we just recall back to the beginning of the pot. Is it possible that When Victor Wbenyama saw the Wu Tang Kan, he realized he is not true Saalin. That it is. Those are the true shower. Th Those you know they met with They were doing they were They didn't have a camera crew. They were doing the showalling thing like twenty years ago, bro. Seriously twenty Bro, thirty. thirty thirty plus. I think it' thir four We're old We had we are metod the song Method Man and um And uh Mo Tank Klan ain't nothing bf with. We had both of those songs super early You just from the first listen, it was just like, oh, this is something like I've never Last thing before we get out of here. All right This is my last note we can get An Hathaway stots on the game, but we can't get Kenny Ackkinsonon stots in the game. what's happening here in the mismatch? You came through which I did not That's for sure. You came through with one of the most famous people on planet Earth. I couldn't get Kenny A to give us the analytical breakdown of the series. Maybe I'm Mishia Llastic. Da'ed up me that when unbelievable historic moments happen in sports What happened G Fragnant thenen nine months later the baby if day if we look up at it ten years there's OGs every. No there's going be Ogongas. Ogongas. No. OG is the best name ever and like obbviously every kid that would be named OG like I want OG to become a thing and it become a thing because what is it? June? So whatever. It's actually ten months. People always say nine months, it's not nine months.ver four kids. It's ten months. Okay, so what would that be? I don't know That would be six month maybe April, April. Yeahah, right around my birthday. April. April babies. April babies. Bon table OJes. Yeah Oh jeez Named them OG. I would lovey So many. There's going be so many Do you think that met I feel like honestly, you know what I think And this is no offense to Whatever about to say going gonna offend somebody No I don't think so. I think it's going to be, you know what I think' going to happen I think people are going be a little bit timid And it's obviously only a boy's name. You can't do it with a girl. You can't name a girl O Gi I think what you're gonna see is that every other dog in New York is named O. Oh yeah. That's what's gonna happen. Yes. there That's what to be babies. It's gonna be It's hard to like name your baby girl O It's like the dog. But you're gonna go out to the dog park and there's gonna be twenty people going, oJ.' gonna be all the dogs Dog ch. So he treats every other dog in New York. his named though Gee That's a great point. I would name my I would name my dog OG Do you really think that forty seven percent of the tickets being bought up from New Yorkers for the game five? I can't see it I can't see it. I can see I mean, on the secondary market? Yes. Yeah Really Oh my God. if you had if you thought just if you believed in this Nixon five thing and you thought There's a lot of money in New York, Jacobbe. and if you thought Hey man. I get on I could see this team has one championship from fifty three years. Yes I could see I just I just hope they're on their best behavior. I think if you if you buy a ticket and you fly out there You're probably not going to try to light somebody on fire Probably hat. I mean. Probably not. because you can't fly with characters. Just say Yeah just say proble There are some gas stations around The frostbake center though We shouldn't be goofing about that, but it's so outrageous Oh my god. One happiness guy One bad apple spoils the big apple. One the guy tries to land somebody on fire and all of a sudden it's like the warrior It's everyvery Nicks fan. Yeah, everyvery Nick fan the Asenist Oh, do you think they win game five? I'm nervous. No Sorry You don't think they do? I told you, I told you this in our last episode. I told you that the odds were at that point that the Nicks were going to win in six. and that's what I believe were the correct odds. I thought they would win Game for now Did I ever think game four would play out the way it did? Absolutely not. But they did win it But then win for lose five Come back home and win six. I'm just I'm nervous. I mean's hard hard to close them out on the road anyway You know what I mean? they won first two games And psychologically, you know you've got that one. you know you I'll come back home. I'll say this When the cabs blew that huge lead in game one, they just didn't have their heart for the rest of the series And I think that something like that could happen with this young team. I think they could I think the Niss could win game five on the road. Do you think it is better for the city of New York and it's health and safety. If they win on the road. Yes I think it's just better for everybody. And certainly less people set up I just want Oh man, everyone hates me already because this women yama thing and every's going to hate me because I got mared on septemberleventh. I don't want the terrorist to win. I didn't want the terrorists win. We got a huge deal on a beautiful venue It's an outrageous anniversary. I know, it's stupid. It's so unbelievable. If I could do it again, I probably wouldn't have done that way, but know, I can't change it now. C can't ch. can't change it now. we spent so much money on food and there was no food there and everybody went for pizza afterwards. And how many years is it? It was twenty ten. So we didn't do it on the ten year anniversary which would be too much Look, and you've been marri this long, so it wasn't that bad of a decision. Itidn't matter what they.
