Oh, we're not even admitted into the second half.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Get a time out, Rick Carlisle, get that time out.

Mike Harmon. I think we need to remind people of
something that may be something that has been forgotten in
the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Out a note to this, some kind of memo.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
NBA games are forty eight minutes long, not twenty four
minutes long. Please remember this when you talk about Jalen
Brunson and the first half he had against the Pacers.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Wow, I mean games are half to describe it as
it happened, not twenty four.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
They're forty eight minutes long. Yeah, just everybody understands that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Sure, but if you ignore what you saw in the
first half, you miss one of the greatest horror films
of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It wasn't pretty. No, no, it wasn't pretty.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
But on every shot he's horrible at the free throw line.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, it was amyssmal.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
But you were down ten. No, we're still down ten
with him being as playing as poorly as he did.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And just like I always tell people in fantasy that
come up after first half, Oh it's a first half.
My players only got three points. NFL games are sixty
minutes long. Come to you want to be upset about
my advice, come to me at the end of the
fourth quarter or the end of the game. Then you
tell me how you're at. But if he scores nineteen
points in the second half, everything is just fine. We
are thirty seconds into the second half and the Pacers
(02:04):
ten point lead has been cut in half. It is
sixty one fifty six. New York has started out on
a five to zero run after a miserable first half
by Jalen Brunson three out of fourteen from the floor,
two out of five from the free throw line. The
Pacers have two and three guys on him. His shots
are short. It's not been a good first half. Hey,
(02:25):
he hit his first two, but he did, and then yeah,
and then that was it for a while. Doctor came
up empty for a bit.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Look at me, I went glass half full for you.
I mean he started out like, Oh, it's gonna be
a Brunson night. Well it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
They start the second half because Nemmar decides, Hey, I
want a technical foul. At the end of the first half,
Brunson makes the free throw to make it a nine
point lead. With the ball, they break down the floor
and Brunson goes in for a layup cuts the lead.
After another Pacers miss, a back door passed to Miles McBride,
and that has made it a five point lead again.
(03:00):
We are not even a minute into the third quarter.
They're gonna resume play in a second. So this Knicks
Pacers game, Look, I just I'll tell you how it's
all gone. I mean, look, Knicks, Pacers, we know it's
gonna come down to the final five minutes and it's
gonna be a close game like that.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Show like that.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's where we're at. That that's how all the no
matter what happens, that's where all these games are.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's about the final four or five minutes. That's yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
But now I can the way this game has gone
gone on. You can reference one of the old Country acts.
It was McBride and the Ride. Sure, because that's been
your guy without him, and it's been great. You're sunk.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
He's been terrific.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Now, mcbribably mean, look at Tom tippadau to say, hey,
there's guys on the bench that can play that I
haven't played.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
In a long time. I didn't know that. Hey look
at hey Miles. I just put him in the starting
line up. And look, well we did in game five.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
You just meat, you get some productivity from super backup
Isaiah Hartenstein and you might have something.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
And look at as we say this, the Pacers decide,
oh wait a minute, that Rick Carlile time worked out
pretty well. They have now gone on a five to
no run of their own. It is now sixty seven
fifty six. Tifinally that was five. Now it is back
up to eleven, and TIBs calls a timeout. We're not
even two minutes into the third quarter yet, and each
side has called a timeout, not happy with their performance.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Feeling the potential for this one to get away. Thibodeau
always salty, but went through the quick timeout with the
scowl on his face. He had a bad brunts and
turnover in the preceding possession for the Nicks. So yeah,
it's it's one of those that feels like it can
get away. And guess what, who doesn't want a game
(04:39):
seven anyway?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Of course, look, it's the best sixties, of course we wanted. No,
oh no, I don't want game seven at all. I
want six Nixon, six Nicks in six. But look, I
told you in the beginning. Are we destined for seven games?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I think this series is absolutely destined for seven games.
The Pacers are up right now by eleven. It's not
a Jalen Brunson night. Yes, he could turn it around
in the second half a cour but this is a
Pacers game, a Pacers team that did not play hard
the night of the game before and Rick Carlisle was
upset about it. They've been They've not been sharp the
entire series. They've been sharp for some parts of the series,
(05:13):
and so you figure going home, after a tongue lashing,
after understanding backs against the wall, whatever you want to say,
for Game six, they would come out with their best effort.
I was buoyed by the fact that it was close
after the first quarter, because again I always think games
like this, the home team's gonna run out and you
have to catch up to them. But after the first quarter, Okay,
gets away from them a little bit in the second
(05:33):
quarter here and it's about a ten point game. Still
for the next showing we can still get back in it.
But this is a Pacers team that really, and I
said it from the beginning, this is destined to go
seven games. Game seven MSG on Sunday. That's kind of
just where it's been. I'm hoping Jalen Brunson plays better.
I'm hoping he has a better second half. He had
a good start and then he just threw the ball
out of bounds. So yeah, but that's kind of where
(05:55):
I'm at. I've always expected this to go seven games.
If it ends tonight, it's a bonus. It's like the
extended adult swim in a pool, hey, except we get
fifteen more minutes for the adult. Kids gotta stay out
of the pool for a little bit. Parents get to
hang out in the three feet area and talk. So
that that's kind of where I'm at. This is a
This is a found money game for the Knicks who
are still playing without Anunobi.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
If they win, great, If not, I'm fully ready for
Sunday in games.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, yeah, there's no found game. You know, at this
point you're in the playoffs. There's none of that the
house money, all those phrases.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
This game is a house money game. This game is
a house money game. The series is not how this
game is a house money They're up three too. You know,
hopefully they're getting Autonobe back for Game seven, but who
knows if they lose. Okay, we have a Game seven
winner take all in the second round of the play
h Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
But this is one where it becomes the the idea
of never let it go to the judges, i e.
Never let it get to a game seven if you
have the opportunity to go close out. So that being said,
good balance thus far by the Pacers Haliburton a little
more aggressive. He's got eleven and seven assists, been paced
(07:00):
by Pascal Siakam thus far, and you're guy Nemart, he's
got nine, buddy, look's got nine.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's been a great it's been a great game across
the board for the Pacers, right. They've they've played harder,
they have been able to stay in Brunson's face to
make them work. And they're all hitting shots. Were not
hitting shots.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Well, they're all not hitting free throws. They're five of seven.
You guys are seven of fourteen.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, no, we're not there.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Now.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You shoot fifty from the free throw.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We're not hitting free throw.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well. When when your best player goes two for five,
that's that contributes to seven for fourteen.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
He's barely grazing the rim on a couple of those
two man.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But look, but I give the Paces a lot of credit. Look,
they're they're they're playing extremely well. Their starters are playing
lights out right, they're all shooting well, they're moving the
ball really well. It has become that kind of night
so far for Indiana.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's still a long.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Way to go, but I get Look, I always I
come back to this right because I always think, and
this is my mentality always when I was an athlete,
when I'm coaching everything, I always say, it doesn't matter
what the others, it doesn't matter. We can control this game.
We let it happen, we make our breaks, we make
our wins. It doesn't matter what. It matters what we do.
And I think about that, and then I think back
(08:08):
to what Ron Darling would always say when he talks
about when he retired, you know former you know, pitcher
for the Mets and the Mets booth now is that
you know, there was one time where he was pitching
and it was like he was early in his career
and he like he wasn't making his pitches. They were
hitting him, and the pitching coach came out to him
and said, what's going on. He goes, I can't believe it.
I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. I can't
believe they're doing this. I can't believe this. And they
(08:29):
just stopped, and the pitching coach just said to him, well,
you know the other side is trying to you know,
just so you know that, And he said that was
such a huge thing for him that like, oh yeah,
I guess I got to give credit, you know, credit
in fact the other side is really really trying hard
as well, and sometimes they're going to get the better
end of the play.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Like look, I think, yo, look, there's nothing the Nick.
The Nick should be controlling his game. But then you hey,
the other side's trying to right and you get it.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So I'm like, okay, you understand they're all playing well.
I give him a lot of credit on.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Every once in a while you can match the tenacity
and effort of your Knicks, because I mean that's been
the hallmark of this squad. Nobody is going to out
effort us. I would say, if you want to look
on on socials at Swollen Dome, I think I found
the proper gift to encapit, encapsulate your energy and emotions
at this time, Okay, I welcome and invite everybody else
(09:20):
to go and see the rabid Knicks fan that I
found that will stand as proxy for Jason Smith.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
We need Frank the Tank to stand as a Nick. Look,
the met season's over. They lost the Marlins tonight, like
we're done. Like they need we need Frank the Tank
to come in and say, Okay, it's time to talk Nicks.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Like that's what we need.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Well do you need that? I mean that there's a
lot there. I mean, I think you know, as it
jumped the shark, I don't know. I mean it all
started back in the day with the New Jersey transit.
He appeared on our show, and then it just kind
of spiraled into its own thing. It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Look so right now, eight oh three to go. In
the third Pacers lead the NIXT seventy one fifty eight
and make it seventy one sixty. Will continue to bring
you this most of this game again, it's a win
or go home game for the Pacers. If the Pacers win,
we have game seven Sunday in New York. And look,
it's just it's just been an absolute fun, incredible ride,
(10:16):
and no matter what happens, I'm okay. You may not
believe me with that. You may not believe me, but
I am okay with it. If that happens, I am okay.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I do appreciate your attempt to sell that that is
absolutely the case. I mean your acting efforts here. I
mean it's master Thespian stuff. It's like you've been hanging out,
you know, at your daughter's school. And picking up some
pointers from the director or something while she's in production,
besides running around singing the same three lines from Waterloo
(10:43):
that maybe you picked up a little bit of the
acting acumen.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Or that guy walking around just he keeps saying, go
New York, Go, New York Go. What is that all about?
What does that mean? I don't understand. This is set
the Greek Islands. Why is the man talking about New York?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Girl?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Is that guy's problem in the.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
New York O, New York O, New York, Go New
York Finally facing my go New York WHOA okay? So again,
we'll have more on this throughout the night.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Again at a point, Pacers lead right now about seven
minutes to go in the third quarter. But meanwhile, we
have a huge topic we got to get into. We're
gonna get into it in a big way coming up
in a few minutes, because we watched Scotty Scheffler go
through some sort of ordeal today on his way to
(11:35):
Day two of the PGA Championship. Now, basically it lines
up like this, and we have a lot to get to.
You'll hear the sound and hear what was going on today. Scheffler,
who was, Look, he's best golfer in the world. He's
in the middle of his prime. He's twenty seven years old,
and he was arriving at Valhalla for the beginning of
the second round, and well, let's just say that things
(11:58):
kind of happened. When he gets there at six o'clock
in the morning. There are police vehicles outside the gates
to the course that are directing traffic, moving people around
because there was a traffic fatality that saw a bus
hit somebody who tried to cross the street. Now police
officers are on the scene and they're trying to keep order.
There's a bunch of people in line waiting to figure
(12:20):
out how they're going to get into the course and
start the next round. Scheffler decided he didn't want to
be in the line of cars. He pulled around into
the median and tried to talk to a police officer
about getting inside. Police officer came up to the car and,
according to reports, quote attached himself to the car, meaning
he stood there and put his hands on the car.
They had a conversation for about ten seconds, and Scheffler
(12:44):
decided to pull away. He drove about ten feet and
it kind of dragged the cop a little bit and
the cop fell down. His pants were irrepularly ruined, which
was a big part of the police report today. The
eighty dollars pants of the police officer were completely ruined.
And look, I get upsetified ruin a pair of pants,
So I can completely understand that. Scheffler was then taken
out of the car, he was cuffed, he was put
(13:06):
in the back of a squad car. He was taken
to jail, he was booked. He was then subsequently released.
He's charged with a felony as part of what went
on in not following orders and the dragging of the
police officer. He went back and was able to play
a second round, and he's three shots back after day two,
so he had a day all before he even teed
(13:27):
off at ten o'clock this morning. Mike Carbon this is
some kind of story, and he has said after it,
put out a statement saying I was confused. I didn't
know what was happening and what was going on. When
I was sitting in the holding cell, I could see
myself on TV, I was on ESPN. I didn't know
what was happening. So this was the day and this
is the other huge story outside of the Knicks and
(13:47):
the pacers that we're going to be breaking down here
over the course of the next few minutes on the show.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah, you had a reporter, Jeff Darlington who was on
the scene. He was right behind him as they're trying
to enter the course and trying to parse out the
facts of the matter. Right, there's a lot going on
with some of the other golfers talking about potentially having
suspended it and that they should have had and they
(14:12):
debated asking they were walking to the course knowing that
they had the situation. John Mills is the man's name
who was struck and killed outside of the facilities. Yeah,
it's just trying to like you said, ten feet, I'd
read ten yards or like I mean, there's just a
(14:32):
lot of parsing out the details and trying to ascertain,
you know, did he just try to whip around to
just bypass traffic without getting in, getting instruction, just ignoring
everything before the officer quote again that I've seen the
word attached all day to the vehicle and then he's
(14:59):
out and he's able to not only get some practice in.
People had t shirts of the mugshot made and were
on site just that fast, Like it's some of it's
just kind of distressing, disturbing the process of you know,
the golfers arriving to tournaments as they do in the
courtesy cars and all. I don't know, there's there's just
(15:20):
so many details to this, Jason that leave it as
I gotta imagine there's a complete overhaul of how they
process things. But let's not lose sight. Uh, the traffic
snarl wasn't because someone was late getting to their gate.
It wasn't because there was you know, weather, and there
was someone was struck and killed and that and that
(15:40):
seems to be getting glossed over in all of this.
More worried about whether he was gonna make his tea
time or not.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, and and and look, there's a lot to get
to it, because there's stuff that that Scottie Scheffler's got
to own that he didn't and and there's stuff that
you got to own in a situation like this, which
we're gonna get to. And there's also I'm surprised at
the reporting. Like Jeff Darlington has been reporter for a
long time. He's an NFL network when I was there,
he's been ESPN, for a while, but I was stunned
that his reporting was so incredibly slanted towards Hey, this
(16:10):
is being done to Scottie Scheffler, and online the number
of people are just like, yeah, look at this great report.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I can't believe this. I can't believe this.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
All he had to do was say who he was,
and I'm like, wait a minute, So now that's an
okay strategy you can say just saying who you are.
In a legal situation, when the cops tell you to
do something, we always say, oh, look at someone, how
embarrassing is Now it's like he should have said who
he was. So it really the reaction to this story
kind of took me by surprise because this is like
any This is like any story. Here there's the police
(16:38):
side of it, There's there's the civilian side of it,
which the Scheffler side, and then there's the middle, which
is likely where we have to go here. And this
is not something that's all the way on one side
for Scheffler, and it looks like that's where the coverage
has been so far. So look coming up next, we're
going to get into this because there's a lot to
unwrap and a lot to talk about here and just
understand that there's that he has to own, and so
(17:02):
far he is not. No one else has. And we'll
go through a bunch of different things.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
You're going to make you.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Say, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, you're right, yeah,
you're right. Got big stuff going on through this. We
got big stuff going on the Nicks and the Pacers.
That's coming up next right here, Happy Friday, Jason and Mike.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It is the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon right now, two minutes ago. In the third quarter,
the Pacers big third quarter so far, they have opened
up in eighty four sixty eight lead on the Knicks,
and bad news for the Knicks. Josh Hart had to
come out of the game for a couple of minutes.
He had a he had a pad on his hand.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I'm going, oh, my goodness, not josh Art, however.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well because he was also Stuart rubbing like Dan the
massaging the abs and whatever before and.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Then he had he had some kind of wrap on
or or some kind of towel over his hand, and
I'm saying, oh my god, now we're gonna lose josh Rt.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
This is gonna be awful. But he is back in
the game.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
However, the Knicks are down eighty six sixty eight, eighty
six seventy make it now with two minutes to go
on the third and look, you know, seeing this third
quarter the big part. Yes, the Pacers are playing extremely well,
and that's to be expected. The Knicks are missing a
lot at the rim. They are missing a lot of bunnies,
a lot of short, a lot of two foot and
in like and not even not even coming up short,
(18:48):
but but like getting a bad angle on on on
off the backboard where I'm like, you're just laying it
up and this is this, this is this is bouncing
off the rim. I mean this, it's really been difficult.
This is not the Knicks missing that much low. But
again this is the Pacers playing well when you have
that combination. You know, here we are in the NBA
playoffs with a minute to go on the third and
(19:09):
it's a sixteen point game, sixteen point lead for the Pacers.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Was getting ready for the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
As you wrap it up with little Taylor swift death
by a thousand cuts. Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
That's how it is.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
But again, still ways to go. We'll see what happens,
to see what the Knicks have in them, if they
have enough for a run. We'll have more on this
game coming up in a little bit. But as we said,
the big story of the day the arrest of Scotti Scheffler.
Before his round today at Valhalla, second round of the PGA,
he attempted to drive around a situation that police were
trying to keep a hold of right outside the entrance
(19:43):
to the course, as there was a fatality where a
bus hit a pedestrian who was walking across the street
who was coming to watch the second round of the tournament.
And this happened a few minutes anywhere but an hour
before people started showing up at the course. Scheffler wanted
to drive around to try to get into the course.
The police stopped him and after a conversation, he drove forward,
(20:07):
dragging a police officer who had quote attached himself to
the car. Police officer fell down, had cuts, abrasions, His
pants were ruined. That was a big part of the
police report. His pants were ruined and Scheffler was then
subsequently arrested. He was taken into custody. Once he was
taken into custody, according to Scheffler, treatment of his situation
started to change a little bit. They asked him if
(20:28):
he wanted a sandwich. They said, do you want the
full treatment while you're here? Knowing for well he'd likely
be let go, and sometime soon and before his tea
time he was let go. He goes out, he plays
the rest of the round and he cards a sixty six.
So he's still a couple of shots off the lead.
Xander Shaffley with the lead. And this is where we're
at now, and we're breaking down the aftermath of Scotti
(20:49):
Scheffler and his arrest which he is partly right now
charge of the felony because of what happened where he
didn't listen to police, according to reports, and you know,
pulling the police officer with him along when he tried
to drive past with his car. Chef, that's a big misunderstanding.
We're getting both sides of this, and so far we've
seen the coverage has.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Been very much pro Scheffler in this entire story.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yeah, let me read a line from a CBS dot
com report of this as they go through their leaderboard
and a rap of the day quote. Scheffler's absurd morning
has been well documented, and to do what he did
on the golf course afterwards maybe equally as absurd. The
(21:31):
definition of absurd wildly, unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate. Now as
it's been laid out, and again devil in the details,
parsing it out, trying to get through the understanding of
what was going on, you know, to your point earlier,
(21:52):
at no point did he ever say, hey, don't you
know who I am? Kind of thing, but you know,
officer trying to keep controlling. Again, a security guard crossing
and was hit by one of one of the vehicles
and was killed. So you've got a situation of backing,
backing up. I mean, they're not going to start without you.
(22:13):
I mean, I think organizers would be well aware, uh
that there was a traffic snarl leading into the facilities.
And you know that doesn't make you, even if you're
the best golfer in the world right now, that doesn't
make you special to pop out a line.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Now, we try to go from the procedural, you know,
of what transpired in those those moments, unwillingness to stop
what was communicated, if anything at all, But all of
the the coverage of it does does their best to
just say, well, he's not at default at all that
you know, don't you know who he is?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, look there's something here.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
No matter what side you're on, there's something here that
that people are not reports. It's all been pro pro
Scotti shuffer and I guess it right. You feel bad
for the guy he was shaking up all of this.
But let's understand for a second. This is something you
or I. Of course, if we come by something and
there's an accident in the road we want to get somewhere,
we'd see if there's a way we could get around it.
(23:14):
Right now, is that super legal to do? No, it's not,
but we all try to do it. We all want
to see if there's a way that we can get around.
But again, when there's multiple police presence there, and don't
sit here and tell me we didn't know it was
We didn't know a police officers, the cars with the sirens. Okay,
security doesn't have that kindy Security cards are different than cops,
so those are here. Tell me, oh, he didn't know
(23:36):
what was going on? Right, Stop for a second. You know,
police are dealing with the situation. You see the cars,
You see the lights. It's why they have the lights
they do, so you know they're bleeping police cars. So
all of this I don't know security, that's a load
of crap. Be honest and be fair when you're talking
about this. Now, I'll be the first and telling I
don't know what happened and when he talked to the
when he talked to the police officer, but what had
(23:57):
The facts are this, He tried to get around and
get into the me Okay, okay, time out.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Again, not super legal, so of course the police are
gonna stop you. They're dealing with a scene where they
had a fatality. But he needed to get into the
end of the course, so he decided to drive around
everybody else to try to get in. Meanwhile, his tea
time is four and a half hours away. Okay, there
are many things he could have done. Hey, we're here,
Jeff Darlington to do the report. He's in line behind.
He could have made a phone call, Hey, what's going on?
(24:24):
Other golfers gout.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
That was part of the explanation was I didn't know
what was going on.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, other golfers got it. You tell me, there's nobody
you could call. There's no one you can call. There's
no one. You don't have a phone number. You just
show up and they don't take care of the best
golf of the world and the people that are playing.
You don't know what's going on. If you can't, there's
no one you can call. Really, they're all there. Everybody
is there. There's people you can call. There's people who
know what's going on and say listen, you're getting out here,
(24:50):
we're doing this, we're doing this. So there's things you
could have done. Don't make it seem like there was
nothing else you could have done.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Well, one of the guys, see you will zalatoris right.
He was famously he and Cameron Young they walked to Valhalla, uh,
following the accident, and they said it took him two
hours door to door to get through to get down
the line. What whatever's real? Imagine in terms of that
time lapse. But in every article, I've read every note,
(25:16):
and you know Xalaturus who described you know who is
a friend you know of Scheffler's. Couldn't call him, didn't
call any of the guys on the tour. Yeah, couldn't
call you know, your PR guy, your agent, your manager,
you're whomever.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I mean, this is not where Yeah, this is not
where I'm driving and I'm stopped in traffic and there's
nothing you can do because okay.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
You go right, you're fifteen miles away from the facility
or something. Yeah, they stand still on that highway.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You're in front of the gate.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
So so I would like him to own a little
bit that, Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have done that. And
now I don't know what kind of I don't know
what kind of misunderstanding causes you to drive away while
the police officer is there at your car. I don't
understand what that is, because it's pretty sure to me
if a police officer said to me, hey, this is
what we're doing. We'd like you to pull over here,
or get back in line, or do something.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Okay, great. At that point, I'm kind of listening to
the police officer.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
All right, I look, I'm just being honest about how
I think that an average person, how all of us
would deal with this situation. If the police say this,
because understand from their perspective, yes, they know people want
to get in there because there's a golf tournament. They're
also trying to clear a fatality, and as you said
a few minutes ago, that's not being taken into account enough.
This is what the police are doing. The police are
(26:30):
in here playing cribbage. They're not just hanging out going hey,
we're gonna get autographs. Where stop people coming. They're trying
to clear a fact where a bus hit somebody and
someone died, but not someone that was working the event.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I know as well, right someone there as a security support.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
We got to get in. You got to get in.
It's four and a half hours before you're teeing off.
You can chill for five minutes and say, okay, what
are we gonna do? And or again make a phone
call what's going to happen? Hey, they're gonna turn on
the rain few minutes.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Okay, great, they're gonna I can't imagine locally covered with
great scrutiny on the local news stations.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I mean so so, just understand that when you do
stuff like that, whether you and I want to try
to get past it, that yeah, it's not super legal.
And again I'd like to see what the confusion was
that caused him to drive and hit a police officer
and continue to go. And the police officer has your
hand on your car. Why are you pulling away while
he's know that's.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Roll down the window. Why you need to stop? Yeah,
have a conversation about it.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, there's no matter, no matter what the sides are,
there's some things that Scottie Shuffler could have done that
could have de escalated this, and he didn't because he
just wanted to get in like anybody else. I get
you want to get around. I would want to get around.
I don't want to get up at five o'clock in
the morning. I'm angry because I want to get there
and have breakfast. Oh now I can't get at what's
going on. There's all these lights, it's dark, it's rainy.
(27:50):
This is all crazy. What the hell is going on?
So yeah, understand that, And I really would like people
to understand that that it goes when you see police
doing something, let him do it. If if the police
officer tells you something, listen to the police officer, like,
listen to what he's saying, like, you know, you know, look,
there's all different kinds of things that happen here. But
you know, it's not like they were there at the
scene and it was all sorts of things that were
(28:13):
happening untoward.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
They're trying to clear a scene. They're trying to make
it so people could get in, and this is what's
going on, and driving around it. If all of a sudden,
you're working, you're a police officer, and someone drives around
the media and say, it's like whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
We got to take care of this guy, because if
this guy comes on the media and tries to get
by and get in, everybody else is going to do that.
Everybody else is going to try that move now, and
we don't want that because we're still figuring out what's
going on around here.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Figure out other way. That's the only way to get in,
that's the only way to get in. You could. You
can't get it any other way.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
There's no other way they could direct people around to
get of course there was because other people said they
had no problem getting in.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Other golfers did so just own.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I just just own a little bit that, yeah, I
could have done it better, because maybe the cops could
have done it better too. I'm not saying they couldn't
because obviously you saw this. It ended up with him
and handcuffs and in the back of the police card,
so of course it could have been handled better. But
just because all the coverage this way, it was all
like like you had police officers showing up and they
were just pulling out guns and pulling guys out and
pulling out No, there was a reason why this happened.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
And just own.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I'd like to see Scheffler say a little bit, Hey,
I probably shouldn't have done that. I probably shouldn't have
done this, and yeah, let's move on and this is
something that can be put to put to bed. But
right now I haven't seen that, and I'm like, okay,
I really that's just part of this whole thing, and
that's why the coverage it is all one way.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
And understand that no matter what is the truth. That's
something that can't be disputed.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Well, but you know, you pull back and again, you know,
the difference and so many of the reports that I've
read that have been online, you know, just keeps going
the confusion between security and police, as we talked about
a little bit earlier, to to just triple underscore it, like,
does that mean when you go to any type of
facility you don't ignore the security that's on staff. You're
(29:54):
not a real cop. So I'm just gonna keep going here. No,
there's still the authority figure years around, right for that place.
You know, you go to a concert, you go to
in shopping mall. At this point, right, the security people
they've got some juice.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Are there instances where that gets taken over a line? Sure?
In this case, again, could it have been de escalated
anyway till Sunday. Absolutely, But you had four and a
half hours patience. I understand routine, I understand regimens. I
know understand you know. The other thing that obviously flows
(30:33):
out of this. I mean, he's the number one golfer
in the world. How can this something like that? You know,
if he'd been number seventy eight, desperate to make the cut.
You know, is everybody reacting with the same indignation that
they are here? No, I don't believe they are. But
it's the number one guy, and it's an unfortunate situation.
(30:53):
And he tried to at least no matter in every account, Jason,
no matter what, he tried to circumvent a bit of
a snarl and ignored direction thereafter. And then we can
pick it up and act three from there as to
how egregious you think things were, you know, and making
jokes about how you're stretching in a cell and whatever
(31:15):
else inappropriate, again flowing out of what caused the instance
to begin.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
With exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike harmon
Time Now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports, from special Delivery Steve to Sega.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Steve, what do you got for us? My friend?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Well, the story you were talking about was not on
Golf Channel this morning as it was developing. They stayed
with pre taped programming, saying, according to Sports Business Journal,
they're contractually unable to provide live coverage from the tournament
during play and Also, they had no talent or production
employees in place at their Connecticut studios. So again they're
(31:58):
called the Golf Channel.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Stayed.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's it's like MLB Network when a big trade happens
and they're in some kind of tape programming. Hey, let's
look back at the nineteen seventy six World Series. Yeah,
Johnny Bench has been traded.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
What did you want?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Zander Schaffley leads the PGA Championship by one strokeover Colin
Moore Kawa. Shaffley led by three to start today in Louisville.
Scottie Scheffler, right number one, shot a second round sixty
six after being arrested this morning. Scheffler was trying to
avoid a traffic backup and drive into the country club today.
His arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday morning. Bryce In de
Shamba was three shots back, tied for fourth with Scheffler.
(32:37):
Brooks Kepkiz five back. Tiger Wood shot seventy seven today
and we'll miss the cut, as will Phil Mickelson. The
second round. We'll finish in the morning. Play was suspended
late in round two due to darkness to the NBA
Playoffs about nine minutes to go at Indiana Pacers, leading
Game six of their second round series against the next
ninety six to seventy nine. Jalen Brunson did score fourteen
(33:00):
points in the third quarter, but in the first half
he was two of thirteen shooting from the floor. Brunson
is now the nixt leading scorer with twenty one, Miles
McBride with twenty but a large fourth quarter lead for
the home team ready to force a game seven this weekend.
Series winner goes to Boston to start the Eastern Conference
Finals on Tuesday. The Western Conference Finals start Wednesday. In
(33:22):
the NHL Playoffs. The late game is late first period
and scoreless Dallas at Colorado, the top seed in the West,
Stars lead that series three games to two. Game seven
would be in Dallas on Sunday. In the East, Florida
on a goal with about a minute a half left
one at Boston, eliminating the Bruins two to one in
Game six. The New York Rangers will host Game one
(33:43):
of the East Final on Wednesday. A reminder, NASCAR's All
Star Race is Sunday night on FS one. To Major
League Baseball, the Dodgers got a lead off home run
for Mookie Betts and lead the Reds one nothing in
the third inning, Tigers out to a five nothing lead
at Arizona in the fifth. No hits for the Diamondbacks
yet the pitcher for the Rays tonight, Tyler Alexander, was
(34:04):
throwing a perfect game at Toronto through seven and a
third wound up getting the win four to three against
the Blue Jays. Astros have won five in a row.
They're winning five to four against the Brewers in the
bottom of the eighth at Saint Louis Cardinals nine to
five over the Red Sox in the top of the eighth.
The Angels lead in the ninth inning seven to three
at Texas, and the Rockies lead at San Francisco three
(34:26):
to one in the top of the second. Giants outfielder
junghu Lee will have season ending shoulder surgery. Dodger third
baseman Max Muncies on the il with the strained oblique.
Altfielder Jason Hayward of LA was activated. Centerfielder James Outman

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. Get the eye from the tire rack dot
Com studios where uh you know? Because of course Pacers
lead the Knicks. Right now one oh four eighty six,
with just over six minutes left to go in the game,
Josh Hart has gone to the locker room. Looks like
(36:23):
an aggravation of the injury he suffered earlier in the
second half. Uh, some sort of stomach injury. He had
a the when when he first got hurt, he had
he was taken to the sideline and he had a
cover of some kind of a towels theology.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Tape or I don't know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
It's like on his either on his on his on
his stomach and he or it was on his hand.
He came back into the game and now he has
gone back out and has gone to the locker room
because of course the Knicks can't have nice things.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
And now they're down one oh seven eighty nine with
six minutes left to go. Now, who knows what Josh
Hart is at. But hey, TIBs, TIBs, Dude, TIBs, TIBs, TIBs, TIBs.
It's not happening this game. Okay, they're down by eighteen.
Let's get bruntson out. Let's get Hart and Stein out.
Let's get all the guys out. Okay, let's get Mixture
(37:14):
Devincenzo's out. Why are we doing this? Why are we
doing this? Why are these guys in the game. Let's
get ready for game seven? Do I really need to
see Jalen Brunson do all he can to get by
two pacers defenders just to get a hoop in a
game that doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Time to get the guys out, I mean, let me.
I wish I could just call TIBs and go.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I don't know if you don't have enough guys on
the bench, I don't care if you don't, because you
know what you can do.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
You could put shake Milton in the game.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
You have guys there, you can dust them off and
put them out and let all these other guys.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Get ready for Game seven.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Come on, Yeah, even if they haven't seen a minute
in four months, it's time some time.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
You just tap it out.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Just said, do not tempt the basketball gods anymore, because
clearly they have taken a liking problem to you.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I don't I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
I don't understand why when these guys play so heavy
minutes and and and Brunson obviously is someone that they
are worried about every second he has the ball. I
don't know why he's in the game. I don't know
why he's in the game. I don't know why McBride
is in the game. I don't know why Hartenstein's in
the game. You can put three other guys in. It
doesn't matter, all right. If I thought, oh, the Knicks
are coming back and they're cutting this one O nine
(38:24):
eighty nine deficit, now it's one O nine ninety five,
they're not. Though they're not. There's five minutes left, it's
a twenty point game. Get the guys out. Let's I
mean I understand that. Well, they're playing and it's fine,
but it's a it's five minutes of rest and b
you just watch one of your players go to the
locker room. I think the smart thing is to say, hey, okay,
why don't we rest. We're gonna be back at MSG
on Sunday for Game seven.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
Yeah, I just sent you the the image of Heart
on the bench, towel over his head, the sullen look
of teammates nearby, uh, and great concern for one or
two people in the background there, of course, this game
being played in Indiana. But yeah, for Heart to whatever
he's holding over his stomach, plus the kinesiology tape, plus everything. Yeah,
(39:07):
it's just a recipe for disaster. So at this point,
as we've said way too frequently in the NBA playoffs, yeah,
live to fight another day. These five minutes don't matter
for stat padding.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yeah, I mean, I let Obi Topping run in and dunk.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Let let Halliburton hit a three because he's left wide open.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
I don't know why we're tempting fate with this.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Just hit a three, though, buddy. Yeah, twenty eight on
the night.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Hell, Look, and he's having a much better second half, right,
I think he's hit for twelve from the floor in
the second half. He's playing great. Unfortunately, that's been it,
and it's been a ten point deficit. Now it's a
twenty point deficit. It's not our night.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Sometimes, Hey, it's not our night. It's not gonna happen
for us, no matter how much we try. It's time.
It's time to put it away and get ready for
Game seven. I mean, really, it's only the smart thing
to do, because all I'm waiting for is to see
Brunson dribble down the court and just stop and do
one of those Luca hops where.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Oh yeah, ooh, ooh ooh.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
And all I'm gonna do is want to scream and
bang my head against the wall.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Right, you catch somebody's foot after a jump shot, as
if on cue. He knocks down another shot.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
From the corner.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
He's just trying to get to his thirty four and
a half I think was as over under for today.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yeah, maybe is that?
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Is that what it is at this point? Yeah, he'll
hit another big shot and then he'll tap out. It's
great that he's got thirty three. It's an eighteen point game.
These are empty points. They don't matter. They don't matter
at all.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Again, legitimately, I mean, are we looking at the betting line.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
At this point, I don't understand. I don't get what.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Why is this happening? And it's not like Indiana's missing shot.
It's not like, hey, the Knicks are making threes, Indiana's missed. No,
they're going in for poster rising dunks down the other end.
Oh be topping his dunking with both hands each time
he's down the floor.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
It's over. It's over.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
No, no, when it's time to put it away and
fight another day.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
But now this is how the Knicks to it.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
I gotta go find all the prop bets from before
the game now.

Mike Harmon. I think we need to remind people of
something that may be something that has been forgotten in
the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Out a note to this, some kind of memo.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
NBA games are forty eight minutes long, not twenty four
minutes long. Please remember this when you talk about Jalen
Brunson and the first half he had against the Pacers.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Wow, I mean games are half to describe it as
it happened, not twenty four.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
They're forty eight minutes long. Yeah, just everybody understands that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Sure, but if you ignore what you saw in the
first half, you miss one of the greatest horror films
of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It wasn't pretty. No, no, it wasn't pretty.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
But on every shot he's horrible at the free throw line.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, it was amyssmal.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
But you were down ten. No, we're still down ten
with him being as playing as poorly as he did.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And just like I always tell people in fantasy that
come up after first half, Oh it's a first half.
My players only got three points. NFL games are sixty
minutes long. Come to you want to be upset about
my advice, come to me at the end of the
fourth quarter or the end of the game. Then you
tell me how you're at. But if he scores nineteen
points in the second half, everything is just fine. We
are thirty seconds into the second half and the Pacers
(02:04):
ten point lead has been cut in half. It is
sixty one fifty six. New York has started out on
a five to zero run after a miserable first half
by Jalen Brunson three out of fourteen from the floor,
two out of five from the free throw line. The
Pacers have two and three guys on him. His shots
are short. It's not been a good first half. Hey,
(02:25):
he hit his first two, but he did, and then yeah,
and then that was it for a while. Doctor came
up empty for a bit.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Look at me, I went glass half full for you.
I mean he started out like, Oh, it's gonna be
a Brunson night. Well it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
They start the second half because Nemmar decides, Hey, I
want a technical foul. At the end of the first half,
Brunson makes the free throw to make it a nine
point lead. With the ball, they break down the floor
and Brunson goes in for a layup cuts the lead.
After another Pacers miss, a back door passed to Miles McBride,
and that has made it a five point lead again.
(03:00):
We are not even a minute into the third quarter.
They're gonna resume play in a second. So this Knicks
Pacers game, Look, I just I'll tell you how it's
all gone. I mean, look, Knicks, Pacers, we know it's
gonna come down to the final five minutes and it's
gonna be a close game like that.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Show like that.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's where we're at. That that's how all the no
matter what happens, that's where all these games are.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's about the final four or five minutes. That's yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
But now I can the way this game has gone
gone on. You can reference one of the old Country acts.
It was McBride and the Ride. Sure, because that's been
your guy without him, and it's been great. You're sunk.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
He's been terrific.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Now, mcbribably mean, look at Tom tippadau to say, hey,
there's guys on the bench that can play that I
haven't played.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
In a long time. I didn't know that. Hey look
at hey Miles. I just put him in the starting
line up. And look, well we did in game five.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
You just meat, you get some productivity from super backup
Isaiah Hartenstein and you might have something.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
And look at as we say this, the Pacers decide,
oh wait a minute, that Rick Carlile time worked out
pretty well. They have now gone on a five to
no run of their own. It is now sixty seven
fifty six. Tifinally that was five. Now it is back
up to eleven, and TIBs calls a timeout. We're not
even two minutes into the third quarter yet, and each
side has called a timeout, not happy with their performance.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Feeling the potential for this one to get away. Thibodeau
always salty, but went through the quick timeout with the
scowl on his face. He had a bad brunts and
turnover in the preceding possession for the Nicks. So yeah,
it's it's one of those that feels like it can
get away. And guess what, who doesn't want a game
(04:39):
seven anyway?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Of course, look, it's the best sixties, of course we wanted. No,
oh no, I don't want game seven at all. I
want six Nixon, six Nicks in six. But look, I
told you in the beginning. Are we destined for seven games?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I think this series is absolutely destined for seven games.
The Pacers are up right now by eleven. It's not
a Jalen Brunson night. Yes, he could turn it around
in the second half a cour but this is a
Pacers game, a Pacers team that did not play hard
the night of the game before and Rick Carlisle was
upset about it. They've been They've not been sharp the
entire series. They've been sharp for some parts of the series,
(05:13):
and so you figure going home, after a tongue lashing,
after understanding backs against the wall, whatever you want to say,
for Game six, they would come out with their best effort.
I was buoyed by the fact that it was close
after the first quarter, because again I always think games
like this, the home team's gonna run out and you
have to catch up to them. But after the first quarter, Okay,
gets away from them a little bit in the second
(05:33):
quarter here and it's about a ten point game. Still
for the next showing we can still get back in it.
But this is a Pacers team that really, and I
said it from the beginning, this is destined to go
seven games. Game seven MSG on Sunday. That's kind of
just where it's been. I'm hoping Jalen Brunson plays better.
I'm hoping he has a better second half. He had
a good start and then he just threw the ball
out of bounds. So yeah, but that's kind of where
(05:55):
I'm at. I've always expected this to go seven games.
If it ends tonight, it's a bonus. It's like the
extended adult swim in a pool, hey, except we get
fifteen more minutes for the adult. Kids gotta stay out
of the pool for a little bit. Parents get to
hang out in the three feet area and talk. So
that that's kind of where I'm at. This is a
This is a found money game for the Knicks who
are still playing without Anunobi.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
If they win, great, If not, I'm fully ready for
Sunday in games.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, yeah, there's no found game. You know, at this
point you're in the playoffs. There's none of that the
house money, all those phrases.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
This game is a house money game. This game is
a house money game. The series is not how this
game is a house money They're up three too. You know,
hopefully they're getting Autonobe back for Game seven, but who
knows if they lose. Okay, we have a Game seven
winner take all in the second round of the play
h Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
But this is one where it becomes the the idea
of never let it go to the judges, i e.
Never let it get to a game seven if you
have the opportunity to go close out. So that being said,
good balance thus far by the Pacers Haliburton a little
more aggressive. He's got eleven and seven assists, been paced
(07:00):
by Pascal Siakam thus far, and you're guy Nemart, he's
got nine, buddy, look's got nine.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's been a great it's been a great game across
the board for the Pacers, right. They've they've played harder,
they have been able to stay in Brunson's face to
make them work. And they're all hitting shots. Were not
hitting shots.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Well, they're all not hitting free throws. They're five of seven.
You guys are seven of fourteen.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, no, we're not there.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Now.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You shoot fifty from the free throw.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We're not hitting free throw.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well. When when your best player goes two for five,
that's that contributes to seven for fourteen.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
He's barely grazing the rim on a couple of those
two man.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But look, but I give the Paces a lot of credit. Look,
they're they're they're playing extremely well. Their starters are playing
lights out right, they're all shooting well, they're moving the
ball really well. It has become that kind of night
so far for Indiana.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's still a long.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Way to go, but I get Look, I always I
come back to this right because I always think, and
this is my mentality always when I was an athlete,
when I'm coaching everything, I always say, it doesn't matter
what the others, it doesn't matter. We can control this game.
We let it happen, we make our breaks, we make
our wins. It doesn't matter what. It matters what we do.
And I think about that, and then I think back
(08:08):
to what Ron Darling would always say when he talks
about when he retired, you know former you know, pitcher
for the Mets and the Mets booth now is that
you know, there was one time where he was pitching
and it was like he was early in his career
and he like he wasn't making his pitches. They were
hitting him, and the pitching coach came out to him
and said, what's going on. He goes, I can't believe it.
I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. I can't
believe they're doing this. I can't believe this. And they
(08:29):
just stopped, and the pitching coach just said to him, well,
you know the other side is trying to you know,
just so you know that, And he said that was
such a huge thing for him that like, oh yeah,
I guess I got to give credit, you know, credit
in fact the other side is really really trying hard
as well, and sometimes they're going to get the better
end of the play.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Like look, I think, yo, look, there's nothing the Nick.
The Nick should be controlling his game. But then you hey,
the other side's trying to right and you get it.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So I'm like, okay, you understand they're all playing well.
I give him a lot of credit on.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Every once in a while you can match the tenacity
and effort of your Knicks, because I mean that's been
the hallmark of this squad. Nobody is going to out
effort us. I would say, if you want to look
on on socials at Swollen Dome, I think I found
the proper gift to encapit, encapsulate your energy and emotions
at this time, Okay, I welcome and invite everybody else
(09:20):
to go and see the rabid Knicks fan that I
found that will stand as proxy for Jason Smith.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
We need Frank the Tank to stand as a Nick. Look,
the met season's over. They lost the Marlins tonight, like
we're done. Like they need we need Frank the Tank
to come in and say, Okay, it's time to talk Nicks.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Like that's what we need.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Well do you need that? I mean that there's a
lot there. I mean, I think you know, as it
jumped the shark, I don't know. I mean it all
started back in the day with the New Jersey transit.
He appeared on our show, and then it just kind
of spiraled into its own thing. It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Look so right now, eight oh three to go. In
the third Pacers lead the NIXT seventy one fifty eight
and make it seventy one sixty. Will continue to bring
you this most of this game again, it's a win
or go home game for the Pacers. If the Pacers win,
we have game seven Sunday in New York. And look,
it's just it's just been an absolute fun, incredible ride,
(10:16):
and no matter what happens, I'm okay. You may not
believe me with that. You may not believe me, but
I am okay with it. If that happens, I am okay.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I do appreciate your attempt to sell that that is
absolutely the case. I mean your acting efforts here. I
mean it's master Thespian stuff. It's like you've been hanging out,
you know, at your daughter's school. And picking up some
pointers from the director or something while she's in production,
besides running around singing the same three lines from Waterloo
(10:43):
that maybe you picked up a little bit of the
acting acumen.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Or that guy walking around just he keeps saying, go
New York, Go, New York Go. What is that all about?
What does that mean? I don't understand. This is set
the Greek Islands. Why is the man talking about New York?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Girl?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Is that guy's problem in the.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
New York O, New York O, New York, Go New
York Finally facing my go New York WHOA okay? So again,
we'll have more on this throughout the night.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Again at a point, Pacers lead right now about seven
minutes to go in the third quarter. But meanwhile, we
have a huge topic we got to get into. We're
gonna get into it in a big way coming up
in a few minutes, because we watched Scotty Scheffler go
through some sort of ordeal today on his way to
(11:35):
Day two of the PGA Championship. Now, basically it lines
up like this, and we have a lot to get to.
You'll hear the sound and hear what was going on today. Scheffler,
who was, Look, he's best golfer in the world. He's
in the middle of his prime. He's twenty seven years old,
and he was arriving at Valhalla for the beginning of
the second round, and well, let's just say that things
(11:58):
kind of happened. When he gets there at six o'clock
in the morning. There are police vehicles outside the gates
to the course that are directing traffic, moving people around
because there was a traffic fatality that saw a bus
hit somebody who tried to cross the street. Now police
officers are on the scene and they're trying to keep order.
There's a bunch of people in line waiting to figure
(12:20):
out how they're going to get into the course and
start the next round. Scheffler decided he didn't want to
be in the line of cars. He pulled around into
the median and tried to talk to a police officer
about getting inside. Police officer came up to the car and,
according to reports, quote attached himself to the car, meaning
he stood there and put his hands on the car.
They had a conversation for about ten seconds, and Scheffler
(12:44):
decided to pull away. He drove about ten feet and
it kind of dragged the cop a little bit and
the cop fell down. His pants were irrepularly ruined, which
was a big part of the police report today. The
eighty dollars pants of the police officer were completely ruined.
And look, I get upsetified ruin a pair of pants,
So I can completely understand that. Scheffler was then taken
out of the car, he was cuffed, he was put
(13:06):
in the back of a squad car. He was taken
to jail, he was booked. He was then subsequently released.
He's charged with a felony as part of what went
on in not following orders and the dragging of the
police officer. He went back and was able to play
a second round, and he's three shots back after day two,
so he had a day all before he even teed
(13:27):
off at ten o'clock this morning. Mike Carbon this is
some kind of story, and he has said after it,
put out a statement saying I was confused. I didn't
know what was happening and what was going on. When
I was sitting in the holding cell, I could see
myself on TV, I was on ESPN. I didn't know
what was happening. So this was the day and this
is the other huge story outside of the Knicks and
(13:47):
the pacers that we're going to be breaking down here
over the course of the next few minutes on the show.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah, you had a reporter, Jeff Darlington who was on
the scene. He was right behind him as they're trying
to enter the course and trying to parse out the
facts of the matter. Right, there's a lot going on
with some of the other golfers talking about potentially having
suspended it and that they should have had and they
(14:12):
debated asking they were walking to the course knowing that
they had the situation. John Mills is the man's name
who was struck and killed outside of the facilities. Yeah,
it's just trying to like you said, ten feet, I'd
read ten yards or like I mean, there's just a
(14:32):
lot of parsing out the details and trying to ascertain,
you know, did he just try to whip around to
just bypass traffic without getting in, getting instruction, just ignoring
everything before the officer quote again that I've seen the
word attached all day to the vehicle and then he's
(14:59):
out and he's able to not only get some practice in.
People had t shirts of the mugshot made and were
on site just that fast, Like it's some of it's
just kind of distressing, disturbing the process of you know,
the golfers arriving to tournaments as they do in the
courtesy cars and all. I don't know, there's there's just
(15:20):
so many details to this, Jason that leave it as
I gotta imagine there's a complete overhaul of how they
process things. But let's not lose sight. Uh, the traffic
snarl wasn't because someone was late getting to their gate.
It wasn't because there was you know, weather, and there
was someone was struck and killed and that and that
(15:40):
seems to be getting glossed over in all of this.
More worried about whether he was gonna make his tea
time or not.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, and and and look, there's a lot to get
to it, because there's stuff that that Scottie Scheffler's got
to own that he didn't and and there's stuff that
you got to own in a situation like this, which
we're gonna get to. And there's also I'm surprised at
the reporting. Like Jeff Darlington has been reporter for a
long time. He's an NFL network when I was there,
he's been ESPN, for a while, but I was stunned
that his reporting was so incredibly slanted towards Hey, this
(16:10):
is being done to Scottie Scheffler, and online the number
of people are just like, yeah, look at this great report.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I can't believe this. I can't believe this.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
All he had to do was say who he was,
and I'm like, wait a minute, So now that's an
okay strategy you can say just saying who you are.
In a legal situation, when the cops tell you to
do something, we always say, oh, look at someone, how
embarrassing is Now it's like he should have said who
he was. So it really the reaction to this story
kind of took me by surprise because this is like
any This is like any story. Here there's the police
(16:38):
side of it, There's there's the civilian side of it,
which the Scheffler side, and then there's the middle, which
is likely where we have to go here. And this
is not something that's all the way on one side
for Scheffler, and it looks like that's where the coverage
has been so far. So look coming up next, we're
going to get into this because there's a lot to
unwrap and a lot to talk about here and just
understand that there's that he has to own, and so
(17:02):
far he is not. No one else has. And we'll
go through a bunch of different things.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
You're going to make you.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Say, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, you're right, yeah,
you're right. Got big stuff going on through this. We
got big stuff going on the Nicks and the Pacers.
That's coming up next right here, Happy Friday, Jason and Mike.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It is the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon right now, two minutes ago. In the third quarter,
the Pacers big third quarter so far, they have opened
up in eighty four sixty eight lead on the Knicks,
and bad news for the Knicks. Josh Hart had to
come out of the game for a couple of minutes.
He had a he had a pad on his hand.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I'm going, oh, my goodness, not josh Art, however.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well because he was also Stuart rubbing like Dan the
massaging the abs and whatever before and.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Then he had he had some kind of wrap on
or or some kind of towel over his hand, and
I'm saying, oh my god, now we're gonna lose josh Rt.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
This is gonna be awful. But he is back in
the game.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
However, the Knicks are down eighty six sixty eight, eighty
six seventy make it now with two minutes to go
on the third and look, you know, seeing this third
quarter the big part. Yes, the Pacers are playing extremely well,
and that's to be expected. The Knicks are missing a
lot at the rim. They are missing a lot of bunnies,
a lot of short, a lot of two foot and
in like and not even not even coming up short,
(18:48):
but but like getting a bad angle on on on
off the backboard where I'm like, you're just laying it
up and this is this, this is this is bouncing
off the rim. I mean this, it's really been difficult.
This is not the Knicks missing that much low. But
again this is the Pacers playing well when you have
that combination. You know, here we are in the NBA
playoffs with a minute to go on the third and
(19:09):
it's a sixteen point game, sixteen point lead for the Pacers.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Was getting ready for the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
As you wrap it up with little Taylor swift death
by a thousand cuts. Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
That's how it is.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
But again, still ways to go. We'll see what happens,
to see what the Knicks have in them, if they
have enough for a run. We'll have more on this
game coming up in a little bit. But as we said,
the big story of the day the arrest of Scotti Scheffler.
Before his round today at Valhalla, second round of the PGA,
he attempted to drive around a situation that police were
trying to keep a hold of right outside the entrance
(19:43):
to the course, as there was a fatality where a
bus hit a pedestrian who was walking across the street
who was coming to watch the second round of the tournament.
And this happened a few minutes anywhere but an hour
before people started showing up at the course. Scheffler wanted
to drive around to try to get into the course.
The police stopped him and after a conversation, he drove forward,
(20:07):
dragging a police officer who had quote attached himself to
the car. Police officer fell down, had cuts, abrasions, His
pants were ruined. That was a big part of the
police report. His pants were ruined and Scheffler was then
subsequently arrested. He was taken into custody. Once he was
taken into custody, according to Scheffler, treatment of his situation
started to change a little bit. They asked him if
(20:28):
he wanted a sandwich. They said, do you want the
full treatment while you're here? Knowing for well he'd likely
be let go, and sometime soon and before his tea
time he was let go. He goes out, he plays
the rest of the round and he cards a sixty six.
So he's still a couple of shots off the lead.
Xander Shaffley with the lead. And this is where we're
at now, and we're breaking down the aftermath of Scotti
(20:49):
Scheffler and his arrest which he is partly right now
charge of the felony because of what happened where he
didn't listen to police, according to reports, and you know,
pulling the police officer with him along when he tried
to drive past with his car. Chef, that's a big misunderstanding.
We're getting both sides of this, and so far we've
seen the coverage has.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Been very much pro Scheffler in this entire story.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yeah, let me read a line from a CBS dot
com report of this as they go through their leaderboard
and a rap of the day quote. Scheffler's absurd morning
has been well documented, and to do what he did
on the golf course afterwards maybe equally as absurd. The
(21:31):
definition of absurd wildly, unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate. Now as
it's been laid out, and again devil in the details,
parsing it out, trying to get through the understanding of
what was going on, you know, to your point earlier,
(21:52):
at no point did he ever say, hey, don't you
know who I am? Kind of thing, but you know,
officer trying to keep controlling. Again, a security guard crossing
and was hit by one of one of the vehicles
and was killed. So you've got a situation of backing,
backing up. I mean, they're not going to start without you.
(22:13):
I mean, I think organizers would be well aware, uh
that there was a traffic snarl leading into the facilities.
And you know that doesn't make you, even if you're
the best golfer in the world right now, that doesn't
make you special to pop out a line.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Now, we try to go from the procedural, you know,
of what transpired in those those moments, unwillingness to stop
what was communicated, if anything at all, But all of
the the coverage of it does does their best to
just say, well, he's not at default at all that
you know, don't you know who he is?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, look there's something here.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
No matter what side you're on, there's something here that
that people are not reports. It's all been pro pro
Scotti shuffer and I guess it right. You feel bad
for the guy he was shaking up all of this.
But let's understand for a second. This is something you
or I. Of course, if we come by something and
there's an accident in the road we want to get somewhere,
we'd see if there's a way we could get around it.
(23:14):
Right now, is that super legal to do? No, it's not,
but we all try to do it. We all want
to see if there's a way that we can get around.
But again, when there's multiple police presence there, and don't
sit here and tell me we didn't know it was
We didn't know a police officers, the cars with the sirens. Okay,
security doesn't have that kindy Security cards are different than cops,
so those are here. Tell me, oh, he didn't know
(23:36):
what was going on? Right, Stop for a second. You know,
police are dealing with the situation. You see the cars,
You see the lights. It's why they have the lights
they do, so you know they're bleeping police cars. So
all of this I don't know security, that's a load
of crap. Be honest and be fair when you're talking
about this. Now, I'll be the first and telling I
don't know what happened and when he talked to the
when he talked to the police officer, but what had
(23:57):
The facts are this, He tried to get around and
get into the me Okay, okay, time out.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Again, not super legal, so of course the police are
gonna stop you. They're dealing with a scene where they
had a fatality. But he needed to get into the
end of the course, so he decided to drive around
everybody else to try to get in. Meanwhile, his tea
time is four and a half hours away. Okay, there
are many things he could have done. Hey, we're here,
Jeff Darlington to do the report. He's in line behind.
He could have made a phone call, Hey, what's going on?
(24:24):
Other golfers gout.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
That was part of the explanation was I didn't know
what was going on.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, other golfers got it. You tell me, there's nobody
you could call. There's no one you can call. There's
no one. You don't have a phone number. You just
show up and they don't take care of the best
golf of the world and the people that are playing.
You don't know what's going on. If you can't, there's
no one you can call. Really, they're all there. Everybody
is there. There's people you can call. There's people who
know what's going on and say listen, you're getting out here,
(24:50):
we're doing this, we're doing this. So there's things you
could have done. Don't make it seem like there was
nothing else you could have done.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Well, one of the guys, see you will zalatoris right.
He was famously he and Cameron Young they walked to Valhalla, uh,
following the accident, and they said it took him two
hours door to door to get through to get down
the line. What whatever's real? Imagine in terms of that
time lapse. But in every article, I've read every note,
(25:16):
and you know Xalaturus who described you know who is
a friend you know of Scheffler's. Couldn't call him, didn't
call any of the guys on the tour. Yeah, couldn't
call you know, your PR guy, your agent, your manager,
you're whomever.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I mean, this is not where Yeah, this is not
where I'm driving and I'm stopped in traffic and there's
nothing you can do because okay.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
You go right, you're fifteen miles away from the facility
or something. Yeah, they stand still on that highway.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You're in front of the gate.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
So so I would like him to own a little
bit that, Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have done that. And
now I don't know what kind of I don't know
what kind of misunderstanding causes you to drive away while
the police officer is there at your car. I don't
understand what that is, because it's pretty sure to me
if a police officer said to me, hey, this is
what we're doing. We'd like you to pull over here,
or get back in line, or do something.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Okay, great. At that point, I'm kind of listening to
the police officer.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
All right, I look, I'm just being honest about how
I think that an average person, how all of us
would deal with this situation. If the police say this,
because understand from their perspective, yes, they know people want
to get in there because there's a golf tournament. They're
also trying to clear a fatality, and as you said
a few minutes ago, that's not being taken into account enough.
This is what the police are doing. The police are
(26:30):
in here playing cribbage. They're not just hanging out going hey,
we're gonna get autographs. Where stop people coming. They're trying
to clear a fact where a bus hit somebody and
someone died, but not someone that was working the event.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I know as well, right someone there as a security support.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
We got to get in. You got to get in.
It's four and a half hours before you're teeing off.
You can chill for five minutes and say, okay, what
are we gonna do? And or again make a phone
call what's going to happen? Hey, they're gonna turn on
the rain few minutes.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Okay, great, they're gonna I can't imagine locally covered with
great scrutiny on the local news stations.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I mean so so, just understand that when you do
stuff like that, whether you and I want to try
to get past it, that yeah, it's not super legal.
And again I'd like to see what the confusion was
that caused him to drive and hit a police officer
and continue to go. And the police officer has your
hand on your car. Why are you pulling away while
he's know that's.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Roll down the window. Why you need to stop? Yeah,
have a conversation about it.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, there's no matter, no matter what the sides are,
there's some things that Scottie Shuffler could have done that
could have de escalated this, and he didn't because he
just wanted to get in like anybody else. I get
you want to get around. I would want to get around.
I don't want to get up at five o'clock in
the morning. I'm angry because I want to get there
and have breakfast. Oh now I can't get at what's
going on. There's all these lights, it's dark, it's rainy.
(27:50):
This is all crazy. What the hell is going on?
So yeah, understand that, And I really would like people
to understand that that it goes when you see police
doing something, let him do it. If if the police
officer tells you something, listen to the police officer, like,
listen to what he's saying, like, you know, you know, look,
there's all different kinds of things that happen here. But
you know, it's not like they were there at the
scene and it was all sorts of things that were
(28:13):
happening untoward.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
They're trying to clear a scene. They're trying to make
it so people could get in, and this is what's
going on, and driving around it. If all of a sudden,
you're working, you're a police officer, and someone drives around
the media and say, it's like whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
We got to take care of this guy, because if
this guy comes on the media and tries to get
by and get in, everybody else is going to do that.
Everybody else is going to try that move now, and
we don't want that because we're still figuring out what's
going on around here.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Figure out other way. That's the only way to get in,
that's the only way to get in. You could. You
can't get it any other way.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
There's no other way they could direct people around to
get of course there was because other people said they
had no problem getting in.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Other golfers did so just own.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I just just own a little bit that, yeah, I
could have done it better, because maybe the cops could
have done it better too. I'm not saying they couldn't
because obviously you saw this. It ended up with him
and handcuffs and in the back of the police card,
so of course it could have been handled better. But
just because all the coverage this way, it was all
like like you had police officers showing up and they
were just pulling out guns and pulling guys out and
pulling out No, there was a reason why this happened.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
And just own.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I'd like to see Scheffler say a little bit, Hey,
I probably shouldn't have done that. I probably shouldn't have
done this, and yeah, let's move on and this is
something that can be put to put to bed. But
right now I haven't seen that, and I'm like, okay,
I really that's just part of this whole thing, and
that's why the coverage it is all one way.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
And understand that no matter what is the truth. That's
something that can't be disputed.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Well, but you know, you pull back and again, you know,
the difference and so many of the reports that I've
read that have been online, you know, just keeps going
the confusion between security and police, as we talked about
a little bit earlier, to to just triple underscore it, like,
does that mean when you go to any type of
facility you don't ignore the security that's on staff. You're
(29:54):
not a real cop. So I'm just gonna keep going here. No,
there's still the authority figure years around, right for that place.
You know, you go to a concert, you go to
in shopping mall. At this point, right, the security people
they've got some juice.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Are there instances where that gets taken over a line? Sure?
In this case, again, could it have been de escalated
anyway till Sunday. Absolutely, But you had four and a
half hours patience. I understand routine, I understand regimens. I
know understand you know. The other thing that obviously flows
(30:33):
out of this. I mean, he's the number one golfer
in the world. How can this something like that? You know,
if he'd been number seventy eight, desperate to make the cut.
You know, is everybody reacting with the same indignation that
they are here? No, I don't believe they are. But
it's the number one guy, and it's an unfortunate situation.
(30:53):
And he tried to at least no matter in every account, Jason,
no matter what, he tried to circumvent a bit of
a snarl and ignored direction thereafter. And then we can
pick it up and act three from there as to
how egregious you think things were, you know, and making
jokes about how you're stretching in a cell and whatever
(31:15):
else inappropriate, again flowing out of what caused the instance
to begin.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
With exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike harmon
Time Now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports, from special Delivery Steve to Sega.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Steve, what do you got for us? My friend?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Well, the story you were talking about was not on
Golf Channel this morning as it was developing. They stayed
with pre taped programming, saying, according to Sports Business Journal,
they're contractually unable to provide live coverage from the tournament
during play and Also, they had no talent or production
employees in place at their Connecticut studios. So again they're
(31:58):
called the Golf Channel.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Stayed.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's it's like MLB Network when a big trade happens
and they're in some kind of tape programming. Hey, let's
look back at the nineteen seventy six World Series. Yeah,
Johnny Bench has been traded.
Speaker 3 (32:12):

Zander Schaffley leads the PGA Championship by one strokeover Colin
Moore Kawa. Shaffley led by three to start today in Louisville.
Scottie Scheffler, right number one, shot a second round sixty
six after being arrested this morning. Scheffler was trying to
avoid a traffic backup and drive into the country club today.
His arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday morning. Bryce In de
Shamba was three shots back, tied for fourth with Scheffler.
(32:37):
Brooks Kepkiz five back. Tiger Wood shot seventy seven today
and we'll miss the cut, as will Phil Mickelson. The
second round. We'll finish in the morning. Play was suspended
late in round two due to darkness to the NBA
Playoffs about nine minutes to go at Indiana Pacers, leading
Game six of their second round series against the next
ninety six to seventy nine. Jalen Brunson did score fourteen
(33:00):
points in the third quarter, but in the first half
he was two of thirteen shooting from the floor. Brunson
is now the nixt leading scorer with twenty one, Miles
McBride with twenty but a large fourth quarter lead for
the home team ready to force a game seven this weekend.

Finals on Tuesday. The Western Conference Finals start Wednesday. In

Stars lead that series three games to two. Game seven
would be in Dallas on Sunday. In the East, Florida
on a goal with about a minute a half left
one at Boston, eliminating the Bruins two to one in
Game six. The New York Rangers will host Game one
(33:43):
of the East Final on Wednesday. A reminder, NASCAR's All
Star Race is Sunday night on FS one. To Major
League Baseball, the Dodgers got a lead off home run
for Mookie Betts and lead the Reds one nothing in
the third inning, Tigers out to a five nothing lead
at Arizona in the fifth. No hits for the Diamondbacks
yet the pitcher for the Rays tonight, Tyler Alexander, was
(34:04):
throwing a perfect game at Toronto through seven and a
third wound up getting the win four to three against
the Blue Jays. Astros have won five in a row.
They're winning five to four against the Brewers in the
bottom of the eighth at Saint Louis Cardinals nine to
five over the Red Sox in the top of the eighth.
The Angels lead in the ninth inning seven to three
at Texas, and the Rockies lead at San Francisco three
(34:26):
to one in the top of the second. Giants outfielder
junghu Lee will have season ending shoulder surgery. Dodger third

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. Get the eye from the tire rack dot
Com studios where uh you know? Because of course Pacers
lead the Knicks. Right now one oh four eighty six,
with just over six minutes left to go in the game,
Josh Hart has gone to the locker room. Looks like
(36:23):
an aggravation of the injury he suffered earlier in the
second half. Uh, some sort of stomach injury. He had
a the when when he first got hurt, he had
he was taken to the sideline and he had a
cover of some kind of a towels theology.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Tape or I don't know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
It's like on his either on his on his on
his stomach and he or it was on his hand.
He came back into the game and now he has
gone back out and has gone to the locker room
because of course the Knicks can't have nice things.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
And now they're down one oh seven eighty nine with
six minutes left to go. Now, who knows what Josh
Hart is at. But hey, TIBs, TIBs, Dude, TIBs, TIBs, TIBs, TIBs.
It's not happening this game. Okay, they're down by eighteen.
Let's get bruntson out. Let's get Hart and Stein out.
Let's get all the guys out. Okay, let's get Mixture
(37:14):
Devincenzo's out. Why are we doing this? Why are we
doing this? Why are these guys in the game. Let's
get ready for game seven? Do I really need to
see Jalen Brunson do all he can to get by
two pacers defenders just to get a hoop in a
game that doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Time to get the guys out, I mean, let me.
I wish I could just call TIBs and go.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I don't know if you don't have enough guys on
the bench, I don't care if you don't, because you
know what you can do.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
You could put shake Milton in the game.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
You have guys there, you can dust them off and
put them out and let all these other guys.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Get ready for Game seven.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Come on, Yeah, even if they haven't seen a minute
in four months, it's time some time.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
You just tap it out.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Just said, do not tempt the basketball gods anymore, because
clearly they have taken a liking problem to you.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I don't I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
I don't understand why when these guys play so heavy
minutes and and and Brunson obviously is someone that they
are worried about every second he has the ball. I
don't know why he's in the game. I don't know
why he's in the game. I don't know why McBride
is in the game. I don't know why Hartenstein's in
the game. You can put three other guys in. It
doesn't matter, all right. If I thought, oh, the Knicks
are coming back and they're cutting this one O nine
(38:24):
eighty nine deficit, now it's one O nine ninety five,
they're not. Though they're not. There's five minutes left, it's
a twenty point game. Get the guys out. Let's I
mean I understand that. Well, they're playing and it's fine,
but it's a it's five minutes of rest and b
you just watch one of your players go to the
locker room. I think the smart thing is to say, hey, okay,
why don't we rest. We're gonna be back at MSG
on Sunday for Game seven.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
Yeah, I just sent you the the image of Heart
on the bench, towel over his head, the sullen look
of teammates nearby, uh, and great concern for one or
two people in the background there, of course, this game
being played in Indiana. But yeah, for Heart to whatever
he's holding over his stomach, plus the kinesiology tape, plus everything. Yeah,
(39:07):
it's just a recipe for disaster. So at this point,
as we've said way too frequently in the NBA playoffs, yeah,
live to fight another day. These five minutes don't matter
for stat padding.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yeah, I mean, I let Obi Topping run in and dunk.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Let let Halliburton hit a three because he's left wide open.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
I don't know why we're tempting fate with this.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Just hit a three, though, buddy. Yeah, twenty eight on
the night.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Hell, Look, and he's having a much better second half, right,
I think he's hit for twelve from the floor in
the second half. He's playing great. Unfortunately, that's been it,
and it's been a ten point deficit. Now it's a
twenty point deficit. It's not our night.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Sometimes, Hey, it's not our night. It's not gonna happen
for us, no matter how much we try. It's time.
It's time to put it away and get ready for
Game seven. I mean, really, it's only the smart thing
to do, because all I'm waiting for is to see
Brunson dribble down the court and just stop and do
one of those Luca hops where.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Oh yeah, ooh, ooh ooh.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
And all I'm gonna do is want to scream and
bang my head against the wall.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Right, you catch somebody's foot after a jump shot, as
if on cue. He knocks down another shot.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
From the corner.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
He's just trying to get to his thirty four and
a half I think was as over under for today.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yeah, maybe is that?
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Is that what it is at this point? Yeah, he'll
hit another big shot and then he'll tap out. It's
great that he's got thirty three. It's an eighteen point game.
These are empty points. They don't matter. They don't matter
at all.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Again, legitimately, I mean, are we looking at the betting line.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
At this point, I don't understand. I don't get what.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Why is this happening? And it's not like Indiana's missing shot.
It's not like, hey, the Knicks are making threes, Indiana's missed. No,
they're going in for poster rising dunks down the other end.
Oh be topping his dunking with both hands each time
he's down the floor.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
It's over. It's over.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
No, no, when it's time to put it away and
fight another day.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
But now this is how the Knicks to it.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
I gotta go find all the prop bets from before
the game now.
