Speaker 2 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It is a Thursday, Game one NBA Finals is then
the books, New York steals home court advantage.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Wemby wobbly.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Reading a headline this morning, the Knicks steal game one
and there was no stealing. They were clearly better energy,
better team down the stretch. So you don't want to
overreact to game one.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The Spurs in the second half did not have their legs.
Their shooting was atrocious. They came out of a grueling
seven game series. They did not have energy in the
fourth quarter. They just I mean, the numbers tell you.
They fell off a cliff in the fourth quarter. Shot
twenty six percent from three in the game, night two
(01:17):
for nineteen in the second half. They had no legs left. Okay,
So I'm not going to overreact to Game one. They
did generate seven more unguarded catching three, catch and shoot threes.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Just couldn't hit.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Any of them, so they they generated all sorts of
good looks. They air balled open jumpers. But here's the thing.
I'm not sure this Wemby twenty two years old, still growing,
still developing his body. I'm not sure if he can
handle the strength the girth of Mitchell Robinson, Cat and OG.
(01:55):
I think he may need another offseason and another fifteen pounds.
He got pushed around on both ends. He got pushed
all over the floor. He looks like Skinny Honis now
Giannis about year five. It didn't look the same. And
I'm I'm I look at Kat. Say what you want
about Kat's defense. He was incredibly sturdy on the defensive
(02:19):
end last night. And Mitchell Robinson is seven feet tall
and two hundred and forty five pounds. That is that
is man's strength. That is years in an NBA weight
training program. Both ends of the floor, they are pushing
Wimby all over the place.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Og.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We talked about OG yesterday. He's got a lower center
of gravity. Well, when you're seven to five, everybody's got
a lower center gravity. And Kat was pushing him around
Mitchell Robinson was now, listen, the Spurs are gonna shoot
better again. They were generating good catch and shoot. Looks
more than the Knicks. And Dylan Harper. We will play
(03:00):
more late in the game. Hey de Aaron Fox, that's
not it. Get Dylan Harper in the game late. That's
bad coaching. Get him in the game. So they will improve.
And let's not go crazy. But you watched what I watched.
The Knicks were an older team. We knew it, a
more experienced team, we knew it. But even when they
(03:20):
were struggling in down thirteen, they looked organized. They didn't
look chaotic. They just couldn't hit shots. I thought the
Spurs looked young and a little frustrated at times, disorganized,
a way too frenetic. I mean, we've all been asking ourselves.
It's kind of been the overarching theme all season long.
(03:43):
When does the dynasty start for San Antonio? But there
is a reason. You have to go back to the
seventies and the Portland Trailblazers. There hasn't been a team
this young to make the Finals in fifty plus years,
and last night that was on display. They looked young,
they played young, and even though they came out of
that grueling seven game series, and they they should have
(04:07):
been better in the fourth. Like I understand being tired,
but they're deep, and they're young, a lot of young legs.
Some of it may have been nerves that can sap energy.
I think some of it is we all know this.
The NBA is going to allow you to be physical
in the finals. We talked about this all week. The
NBAS always swallow the whistle in the finals. Well, that
(04:30):
plays to the Knicks advantage here. They got more big, strong,
old guys in the front line, so you know, and
you could say, and I also thought San Antonio was
way to Wemby reliant, and you could say, well, the
Knicks are Brunson reliant, but they're not on the defensive end.
They need Wemby to dictate defense and offense. And they're
(04:54):
asking Wemby to now play twice as many minutes almost
as he did in the regular season. Remember he was
played in twenty seven twenty eight minutes in the regular season.
Now you're talking mid forties, and he's gotta dominate both ends.
It's not that Brunson takes the defensive side off. But
I mean, they've got Josh Hart and bridges Og and
Mitchell Robinson they got bodies they don't. As long as
(05:16):
he plays hard, stays in front of his guy, they're
fine defensively.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So I mean, Gotham.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
City may have needed Batman, but they also had a
police department. Somebody had to write some speeding tickets. It
can't all be Batman. It can't all be Wemby. You
gotta give me something else besides Wemby, because on the
defensive end, he's the Knicks are just making U turns
like nobody wants to touch him, and he really moves.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Wemby really moves on the defensive end.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
But I mean, I'm looking at these fourth quarter numbers
energy Knicks, production Knicks, efficiency Nicks. So I don't want
to go crazy, but can this Wimby, twenty two year
old Wimby who everybody in the Knicks, big old, stronger
(06:09):
players are getting underneath him and pushing him around.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
This Wemby is built to beat this Knicks front line.
And that may sound hyperbolic, but I watch what you
watch the refs. Remember in New York, the Knicks will
get even a better whistle, right like you go home
you get a little better whistle at home. Here was
Wemby after Game one defeat.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Every team guards differently. You know, I'm gonna figure it out.
It's uh yeah, I mean I was bad tonight. It's
not more complicated than that. We've been done any series before,
never any finals, obviously. But I'm not kicking myself about anything.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Really.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I mean, I'm not worried the slightest.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, I'd be worried the slide. I'd be worried a little.
You just lost home court advantage. So my only concern
with the Knicks. Brunson got banged up twice. Kind of random.
He got banged up twice. You know, he probably going
to be a little sore for Friday. The other thing is,
(07:19):
you know the Spurs. Now, you can't watch that game
and come to any other conclusion than this, throw the
kitchen sink at Brunson. Make somebody else beat you. Throw
every and Stefan Castle did a good job. But the
Knicks are setting so many screens, with so many I mean,
Josh Hart maybe six', five he plays got power.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Forward and here's the outther.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Thing you gotta Keep brunson. Healthy and some of it's,
random but you got to keep him. Fresh and he
took thirty one shots last. Night and the question, is
because we've seen bigger guards Like luca And James harden
run out of gas when they're jacking up thirty shots
early in a.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Series and this is The. Finals, now this is not The.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
East this is The, finals and it's gonna be a
super physical. Series so are you gonna get thirty one?
Shots and this kind of great fourth quarter play In
game six Or game? Seven here's the good news for The.
Knicks they USE i Mean Josh. Hart they have so
many complimentary. Pieces Josh hart led The knicks and assists fifteen,
(08:23):
rebounds four. Steals and that's the thing where it felt
like it was all Wemby, Bridges Josh, hart The villanova
guys last. Night AND i think this is the real.
Thing when The villanova trio was on the, floor The
knicks were plus thirty. Nine and so there's a lot
of takeaways in this game last. Night one of them
(08:45):
is how complementary The knicks are cat plan, defense all
the assists and steals From Heart, BRIDGES i, mean he
finally missed a free. Throw bridges played, well just so
many different, guys many of Them villanova guys very much a,
collective very.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
COLLABORATIVE i do worry.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
BECAUSE i think San antonio is gonna throw everything At.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
BRUNSON i think.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
THEY i, mean if you watch that, Game Mitch johnson's
watching the tape on. That with a, team you got
to Get brunson off his. Spots you got to push
him into places he's. Uncomfortable he got good. Looks now
he also hit a couple of tough, shots but he
was getting too many good. Looks it's not just keeping him.
Healthy The knicks have to maintain the ability to let
(09:33):
him be off ball in key. Spots gonna need more,
scoring maybe more more ball in the hands Of. Cat
But cat last night felt like to me his role
was to bang On. Wemby that's what it kind of
felt like last. Night their assignment last night for The
knicks was we'll give the ball To brunson, late but
we're gonna make a statement Against, wemby and boy did.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
They Here's jalen after the.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Win there's a mixture of us playing good defense and
us obviously getting a little, lucky but they come ready
to play more than any other team that we. Faced
just goes back to having each other's. Back you never
know it's really gonna, happen and so being together in
the court and players are gonna. Happen you can't really
script what's really gonna go. On just making sure we're
(10:22):
going out there playing for each.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Other, Yeah wemby last night was two for eleven when
guarded By. Cat so the formula for The knicks, was
let's get off first six seven. Minutes, okay we're, rusty
let's get off to a really intense. Start ress let
them Play. Nicks Did knicks are gonna win the fourth
quarter in this? Series that's another downside for The spurs
(10:44):
since they've been keeping track of fourth quarter. Offense like
The knicks are the best. Ever this team is so
good late in. Games now it was compounded because The,
SPURS i mean they didn't have their.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Legs it was real.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Lot they were air balling three point shots and maybe it's,
nerves BUT i think by the fourth quarter you're at.
HOME i don't think. NERVES i think it was just
they were. Exhausted so now everybody's on equal. Rest that should. Change,
FRIDAY J, MAC i think you AND i both BECAUSE
i followed you last. NIGHT i think both of us
came to the conclusion That knicks had much better energy
(11:22):
late in This they've all had great energy in the first.
Half second, Half nicks had much better. Energy but were
you at all concerned with San antonio looked kind of disorganized.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
OFFENSIVELY i mean we talked about this.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
BRIEFLY i Think Mike brown has a big coaching edge
here And Mitch JOHNSON i didn't like what he did
in the second. Half did you notice they got outscored
in the second half fifty seven to. Forty you, know
you talked about running out of, gas but like The
knicks were, like, hey we've got to get back in transition.
Defense The spurs didn't have one fast break basket in
the second. Half fourteen points in the first, half fast
break zero in.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Transition so that was only THE nxt game in twenty three. Days, Yeah,
SO i mean you could see. It both teams had great.
Energy men the first quarter flew. By it WAS i,
mean it was so much defense and. Body but in
the second half you could see. It San antonio just.
Wilted and again we're giving the next credit for. It
(12:22):
but San antonio was generating good looks and was missing them.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
BADLY i don't think you can Underestimate colin the mental
and physical wear and tear from That thunder series that was.
Grueling the, flopping the, Arguing wemby not talking to the
media like that was.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Everything that was kind of Their Super.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Bowl did you see the knickser now favored in the
series their favorite to win THE Nba.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Finals, NOW i think that might be a bit of an,
overreaction but.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
It's.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Hard it's hard not to come to this conclusion age.
SIZE i mean you're talking Og Josh hart plays like
a power Forward Cat Mitchell robinson styles make. Fights we
wanted to Watch game.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
One do you think.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
They'll Pull wendy Off, cat BECAUSE i don't think that's
a good matchup For. Wendy he was getting blown by
and like you, said the body blows all. Night he
was just settling for. THREE i Think castle is probably
going to end up On. Wendy, now he's given up
a lot of, size but he's sturdy and. Strong BECAUSE
i don't think is going to end up On. Cat
you Mean castle will end up on On.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Cat, yes.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
There's some things when you watch the first game or
the first half of A Super, bowl you see certain
things and you can't unsee. Them wemby being pushed around
on both. Ends, again it's it took youannis about five
years to look like the Current. YIANNIS i don't know
if This wemby is built for this front. LINE i, mean,
(13:53):
Listen Josh hart is six.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Five that.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
Dude is he led the game in rebounds and assists
for the knicks and STEALS and i mean he when
you look, at him, you, think oh that's like, a
two that's.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
A three he plays like a.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Power forward, so good best glue guy in. The league. Love.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Him Yeah stefan Castle on cat is probably.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
The call so, all right we.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Got something else THAT that i think. Is watch we've
said It about cat. All year he's not a refined offensive.
Player yet he's. Twenty TWO but i have a question
long Term about.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Wemby's offense next In, the.

away you're now Entering The noble zone Sponsored By Credible,
Great race none of. The bull, you know a lot
of times when people Talk, about wemby, they're like for,
his size he is so graceful for, his size he
(15:33):
handles the ball well for. His, size well the size
makes him incredibly dominant on the. Defensive end but you
are what your, body is and you are what your.
Game is there are downsides to ALMOST every, nba body
and at seven, foot four, for instance when he drives,
(15:53):
into traffic he can be a turnover waiting, to happen
or the fact that you can get him off his
spot because he has a very high center. Of gravity
nixt to that all night. Last Night So i'm i'm
not questioning how great. HE is i would have voted HIM,
an mvp but like prime Example Is, anthony davis The,
former laker like he didn't love being outside. Shooting threes
(16:16):
why because he had such a strong base twelve to.
Fifteen feet you just he was he could back you
in and get. A, Basket Conversely kevin durant has lived on.
The perimeter why thinner player knows his body. So players,
to ME when I, watch wimby he is, very comfortable
sometimes his most comfortable being outside on the perimeter because
(16:41):
he knows. His body he knows he can get pushed
around and and you can move him off. His spots so,
You know lebron had the, perfect body, six,' nine fast
could finish, at the rim could beat a guard. Off
the ball never a great, three point shooter. But good
enough but, That that's outlier like there are Limitations To.
(17:03):
Even Steph curry magic johnson at six nine and a
half was not a. Great defensive guard. He had limitations
and We look at wemby and a lot of the
things we say, about, him is oh the size on,
THE defensive end i don't doubt. Any of, that but
offensively not only is his game lacking a, certain veteran
refinement he just, needs more. Touches more games is he
(17:26):
is semi. Dependent on others he's not. A play initiator.
He's a Finisher. He's not jokic jokic is, a better
shooter he's a, better play initiator and. He's a finisher
wemby's A, great finisher offensively he's not really. A play
initiator he is dependent on somebody breaking down the back
(17:48):
court and getting. To the rim he is dependent on his.
GUY'S shooting, threes i mean part of last night's Ugliness
for the spurs is they.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Got looks they couldn't. Hit any shots if they hit.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
SIX more threes i may be saying today it's The
best player, i've ever seen but he is a little
dependent on others finishing, what he, initiates you know and
he can finish, without the ball but when you drop,
people on him he'll dish that ball. To the corner
(18:19):
if you're not hitting those shots that Offense, with the spurs.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
It Is.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Ugly here's wemby why did they? Blow game?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
One his thoughts when did you feel like things were?
Speaker 13 (18:33):
Slipping a little was it was it quick or was
it just simply just they just started? Making more shots
was it? Something just simple? IT was QUICK i think
i think we let. THAT one, go i mean we
let them get, an offensive rebound so. That's on us,
and after that, an experienced team they knew how to,
play with momentum and we had the momentum until late.
(18:54):
In that game THIS is why i said we let.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
That, one Go listen the spurs, Can say this we're
not gonna. Shoot that poorly We're Gonna play dylan harper.
Down the stretch we, got great looks more unguarded catch
and shoot threes. Than they did, but you know you
start watching this and Even when the, knicks were trailing
you felt like they. Were in, control you know you're
(19:17):
you're crossing Your fingers. On brunson's health and a lot
of the Times when the knicks Were Out, rebounding san
antonio it, wasn't Particularly close like wemby was being. Completely
boxed out it wasn't like they were tipping it around and.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
BATTLING for it i.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Mean that the knicks built a nice, little cushion underneath
and it was. On all, Sides og, Here kat, There
Robinson there, josh hart there not that.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Easy to penetrate.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
So it felt very wimby dependent last, Night from me
maybe it feels different if they, hit six threes but
they were air ball.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And open. SHOPS Last night j mack. With, the, news
no no.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
This Is the. Herd line news.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Start with some grim News From The.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Green Bay Packers colin micah parsons spoke to the media
this week and he said he will not start the.
Season playing football he will probably Wait.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Until mid october he.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
OBVIOUSLY suffered The acl in december in That. GAME against
denver I love the. PACKERS this season i will have
Them In some. Super bowl futures but This idea that
parsons is going to miss the start of the. Season
Not great here's micah talking about RECOVERY.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
FROM the acl.
Speaker 14 (20:32):
I don't Think goody Or nate or matt he wants
me to go Out there if i'm not a one
hundred percent and rice reinjury and lose me, for the
year and it's just a waste. Of a year everything
is about playoffs and. Winning Football games devin september not
to even just look at. That far ahead but we got,
(20:52):
a tough game tough, schedule THIS year and i think for,
the betterment everyone everyone wants made one hundred in points,
in those games so we can make.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
This championship run We sure green bay.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Won, that trade, well, hey, hey, hey hey.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Hey, slow down now let's Look at the packers. First
five games it's almost like the league knew this was
gonna happen because they got gifted Some. Cupcakes early minnesota not.
A total cupcake but we don't even know who.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
They're starting quarterback as it's like they're doing gets much tougher. A,
week twelve.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Yes so they're gonna Probably, Beat the vikings they'll be favored,
On the road they'll be Favored, Against the jets they'll
be Favored, against the falcons and Probably against the. Bucks
as well then there's the bearskin so three and one
or four and, oh without micah thank you to the.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
League, for that.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah it's a very intentionally. Scheduled professional league we know this,
to be true that they are trying to have the
stars ready for the biggest games in, the Solo Spots
and green bay got a bit of a gift.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
The, FIRST month, now i know we kind of go
back and forth. A little bit do You have the packers?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Winning?
Speaker 15 (22:03):
The?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Division come no do you?
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Have?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Been second no do you have been. In the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I'm just gonna wait.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And Watch camp and I'm Not, anti GREEN bay But
i think detroit is going to be noticeably. Better on
offense they solved their. LEFT tackle Issue i think. CHICAGO'S
going Nowhere, i think minnesota if, they finished fourth will
be the best fourth place team. In the league, it's
a really. REALLY tough, division I mean didn't minnesota go
(22:34):
four and two in division last year? AND finish FOURTH
i mean i could be, wrong on, That but like
minnesota's your. FOURTH place team i thought that had a
winning record and division. Could be wrong so this division is.
Like no other it's the. Best division easily it's a.
Great coach division it's a. Great offensive DIVISION you've, got
I Mean, even kyler murray now you look at him as,
a cast off he was a.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Number one pick.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
He's got talent so even after Or right before, MICHAEL
went down I think the packers had like the third
best odds or fourth best odds To Win the Super
bowl and denny goes down and They face the bears
and it was like a nip and Tuck Game, without
michael parsons, AND it's like i DON'T know if i
could change your Mind, On, the packers colin but uh
(23:15):
might need to adjust Some Things.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
On green bay i'm sure you.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Saw the news today they signed a, couple of receivers no,
big deal, extensions you.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Know, good players anyways let's move on, To Your.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Guy.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
Sammy Donald colin sam donald stepped to the podium this
week and he, was asked, about oh boy you know,
the Big Move the miles Garrett to. The Rams, move so,
donald of, course you Know. Ever the statesman Now He's
a super. Bowl winning quarterback he had a Fun Comment
on miles Garrett joining, The Rams, Here sam donald miles is.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
A Great player shoot jery versus a great. Player as well,
but you. Know we don't i'll think we see them,

We get there.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
No bolton Board Material. From slaton, savyd you know it's Really.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Interesting about donald so what is the number of games
that you think it's reasonable to? Judge a QUARTERBACK like, if,
i said okay let's take a guy's, last thirty starts
is that has that a?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Big enough sample so?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
It's, TWO seasons yeah i.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Mean it is you want to go to? Thirty five
starts how about? THIRTY five starts.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
I think, Context is needed. Colin liked there let's.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Go to the last Six Games of Sam. Darnold in
carolina One Start, in san francisco Full, year in minnesota Full,
year in, seattle four teams. Thirty six games go look at.
His PASSER rating it i think it's a it's number one. In.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
THE league, Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I mean, i'm not listening not patting myself, in the
back but this whole THING about all i heard In C,
Was hugh, no kevin, O'Connell you're right we didn't EVEN
know if jsn was the. Number one receiver why an't
we all gonna come? Clean on this we have and
just acknowledge he is a top ten quarterback based on
(25:13):
the last, thirty five, starts two teams, two receiving corps,
two left, tackles two coordinators. Multiple three teams if you
count the last Six games at carolina where he was
benched and then started and went four and two.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Down the stretch take when.

Not worried about the. Offensive Coordinator, CHANGE.

interesting team, NO you.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Know i was trying to tell With or not mendoza

didn't Mention much about cousins, in THIS interview and i
just wonder if He's gushy about mendoza in hopes That,
they start mendoza maybe a little quarterback controversy stirring.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
Amongst, The players yes i'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Stir.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
The pot yeah jmack, With the news well.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That's the news and thanks for stopping By The. Herd
line news.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
SO if, you i Tried You know ted. Cruz WAS
involved so i try not to spend too much. Time
on it the. College Football Stuff and nick saban went,
out and, said you know it's. A runaway train how
much money do you have to spend to compete for.
A national, championship in football the number is about thirty five.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
To forty million. There's the number it's about.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Ten in basketball, what's interesting, is you, know college football most,
Of Our lives notre dame.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Has been.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Very very influential they're the best program that's not entirely
a member. Of a conference they're a partial MEMBER, in
the acc which they'd be better served maybe being a
full time MEMBER of the acc, Because you know i'm
listening to their.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Athletic Director talk notre dame does not have.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
A money problem according to, a general manager college teams
now have general managers, In College football notre dame is a.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
BIG, Time, Spender.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Lsu, Texas Texas, Tech, Ohio State miami notre dame is
right up. There with them they also do not have.
A Coaching, problem marcus, freeman to me is as good
as any coach.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
In The Country so notre dame's got. The Money right
notre dame has got.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
The Coach right notre dame's problem is they can't find,
any Dance Partners and pete. Bavaqua knows it so THAT'S
why when usc pulled out or whoever did pulled out,
of the game they Panicked. And signed, byu BYU's fine
but byu is not a. Top, fifteen player look since
the big TEN in the Sec, Have, ADDED, Oregon, Washington,
(30:11):
usc texas oklahoma They Won't play notre dame.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Out of conference so if You.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Look at notre dame, schedule right now they have twelve
games and only one elite team, on That. Schedule one
miami that is a must win. Game for them they
have to. WIN that game i don't care how badly
they box. Everybody else's ears You lose to, miami at
home how much credibility? Do you have you could drop
(30:42):
ten spots in the playoff rankings if.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
You lose At.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Home to, miami so Conversely Look at. Ohio state schedule
six legitimate programs, On, Their, Schedule, TEXAS, Illinois, Indiana. Usc
oregon michigan, Don't kid yourself beelam has built a Real.
Team in illinois do you watch them in? THEIR bowl Game, Usc,
Schedule Oregon, Washington.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Penn, State. OHIO state indiana.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I WON'T even count ucla though people think they're going
to have.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
A good year.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Five legitimate programs so it's really interesting when we're.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Talking about the.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
College football playoff You're Gonna notice notre dame is a huge,
proponent of it and the reason is in a, twelve
team playoff they can't. Find dance PARTNERS that's why usc
has all. THE leverage here usc Does Not. NEED notre
dame usc Is Not. Anti Notre dame Jen cohen likes
(31:40):
vauqua And They. Like notre dame they wouldn't, mind playing
them but they're gonna play them. On their terms they're
Not playing in october In, between The, hoosiers The. Buckeyes
and oregon they're, not doing it.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Nor should.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
They IT'S dumb So I find Notre Dame's essence notre
dame fascinating in the new. College football playoff they want
a massive playoff because they are struglin to.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Find dance partners and.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
If it's only going to be a, twelve team playoff
two of those going to Twu Lane and notre. Dame
guaranteed one if they're in, the top twelve nobody's gonna
give him an out.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Of conference game why would You Look at?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Ohio state schedule now, people, Can Say well Notre dame
Has texas Scheduled that game i've been told is completely
fluid and is fifty to. Fifty at best it will
Come To, Fruition. Ohio state texas that game's Gonna Be Played.
Notre dame TEXAS that is i am assured that is
(32:43):
fluid so and and that that game is like twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
To twenty nine it's the way.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Down The, road dabo Sweeney Who. PLAYS notre dame i
think they have a. Five year contract he's not A Fan.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Of notre dame that's just the.
Speaker 12 (33:02):
Way It is but I'VE always, liked i mean we're
three And One, Against ohio state we're four And Two.
AGAINST notre, Dame I mean notre dame HAS their, own
tv station they make, their own rules they print. Their
own money they got like a money machine in the.
Backyard or something.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
There's so Much Animosity. For Notre dame but i'm not
listening as much. To the animosity i'm looking, at the
Reality Which. Is notre dame they're, not you know this
whole thing. About super conferences they're kind of. Rolling their
eyes they don't want any. Part of, that they like they, got,
the money rolling they, got the coach. They got everything
(33:38):
they just can't. Find, Dance Partners.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
NOTRE dame texas i just looked. UP tentatively, scheduled, i
mean folks if you're tentatively going to a party with friends,
in two years that you might as well cancel it
now you're not going?
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Coming up next you know what the really do They
make the? Celtics look small did you notice that at? All?
Last night next.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Be sure to catch Live Editions of the herd weekdays
in noon Eastern non Am Pacific On FOX sports radio
fs One and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
Seven days in counting Until The biggest world cup Ever.
Comes To america christian BALLISTIC and the us men's national
team Kick Off their world cup dream on a huge,
night of music stars AND celebration In, La on. Friday
june twelfth coverage begins At six Pm.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Eastern on fox one of the things that is so
obvious to me when you Look at the Knicks, and
the celtics there are things built In.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
To the knicks that are.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
So. Sustainable long term i'll give. You an examp if
you look, at net rating the Best Quarter The new
york knicks play is the fourth quarter because they have
A Player, in, jalen brunson who, by the way only
takes twenty percent of the cap. And is beloved their
(35:19):
best quarter Is The fourth the celtics' worst quarter net rating.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Is, the Fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
And, tatum And brown who i'm not sure, like each
other eat up seventy percent. Of the cap they'll be
paying them one hundred and twenty. Million next year so
you get a team Friendly deal with brunson and he
is completely dependable in. The fourth quarter you get two
player friendly deals from players that don't necessarily. Love Each
(35:51):
other in boston eating seventy percent, Of the cap brunson's contract, allows,
for big talented expensive. Veteran front Line tatum and brown's
Contracts limit, the celtics cheap youthful and not that. Talented
front line that's not good. News long term they had To,
(36:13):
Get Off, porzingis andrew holliday who's not a Big and
al horford who. Was getting Older, but the celtics you
Look at. What Boston is jalen brown comes out and
said this year was. His, favorite ever oh you mean
The one that tatum didn't play, most of it but
you were bound in the first round. Of the playoffs
that's your that's your. Best year ever the not the
(36:34):
title year so It's like. The knicks stuff you got
a team friendly. Fourth quarter quarterback. The players love two
of The. Guys are villanova two of his Best teammates.
Are Villanova guys east coast guys. Love each other the
team last night in, the fourth quarter they just get
out of The. Way for brunson. There's no Confusion it.
(36:57):
Is brunson's offense they just get out. Of The, way
the Celtics it's passive tatum who gets weirdly, insecure and
Disappears and aggressive brown who says his favorite year, was
last year the first. Round EXIT year, SO i mean
i just a Lot of this knick Stuff because of
(37:17):
brunson's salary and the way he is collectively sort of
embraced by Not just the nova guys. But the team it.
Just very Sustainable. Like The celtics the celtics feel weird Compared.
To The knicks the knicks feel. Like A collective the.
Celtics Feel weird the celtics are totally dependent. On The
(37:39):
three the knicks are middle. Of the pack they, can
hit them not. Dependent ON it So i just i'm
watching that fourth, quarter last night and It's like the
knicks Can go inside brunson. Will take over they can
hit a three if. They need it there's, so many
ways but by and large they just set screens and
(37:59):
get out of The way for brunson and.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Let him go.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
YOU never, KNOW i mean i Will contend the Celtics
Moved off Marcus Smart because, Brad, stevens thought okay it's
One Thing for jalen brown to take shots. Away from
him I'm Not letting marcus smart take shots.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Away from HIM.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
You, never i Mean when the knicks play in, the
fourth quarter you know where, the BALL'S going and i
don't care if he's the smallest guy. On the floor You,
can see brunson you know exactly. Where he is There are,
times tatum disappears and he's. A huge talent so In The, Entire,
Nova knicks Brunson bridge is heart make up fifty five
percent of the. Cat next year that's fifteen Percent less Than,
(38:36):
tatum and brown who don't. Like each OTHER from what,
I can, tell I mean if i came out and
said my, favorite show ever my five, favorite shows ever
None of them, Jmack.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Was on, you'd, be like wow that's kind.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Of a sign, if you're like we got bounced in.
THE first round i had so much.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Fun this year oh my, Favorite, CHAMPIONSHIP here no i?
Like this One where was? TATUM didn't play? I love
this that was THE best shows. I ever.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Had that's Weird Here was chris Bruce start after boston
was the limited on The on the celtics roster being so.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Three point Reliant.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Jalen and jason tatum are obviously two legitimate, Stars After
that Baylor shireman and Cada And, If peyton princher god
bless him is, a really good you.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Know six man.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
When you get into the playoffs and you know it's
a smaller sample size, seven game series and you know
all types of other things are, coming.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
Into play does a? Guy get nervous is? A guy?
Clutched the analytic you.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Can't solely, Rely on analytics.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
But, watching the knicks it's it's it feels like they're
not persuaded or not beholden to anything other than Give.
It to brunson put some big, bodies to Screen makes
defon castle, work through them which. SOMETIMES you can't i.
Will say this you know for, all of us you
(40:07):
and your wife, have a budget or you and your
husband you. Have a budget people, have, Family budgets right
so it does matter what you spend. The money, on
you know you want to spend it for, your kids'
education you live in, a. Safe neighborhood transportation we, all
BUDGET stuff and i know pro athletes make a, lot
of money but it's the.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Same with teams you have to spend the money on.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
The right, stuff you, know For Instance the super Bowl.
FAVORITES the rams i, look this morning Where do the
rams spend their? Money, next year, quarterback, left, Tackle weapon
corner trent MCD b and d. Line PREMIUM positions so
i looked up this Morning Where the philadelphia eagles next
year are spending, their money, EDGE left tackle. D line
(40:52):
Quarterback They got saquon barkley in a pretty. Team, friendly
deal so just, like a family where do you? Spend
your money so coming, up This season the steelers with
an old quarterback will be last, in offensive line.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Spending.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Second MOST linebacker so I Saw this omark cohn signed
Blocking Tight end darnell washington to a four year contract a. Blocking,
tight end Yesterday They, signed nick, herbig a linebacker to,
a four year one hundred. Million dollar deal so it's

Speaker 3 (42:11):
IN his, Career.
Speaker 1 (42:14):

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It is a Thursday, Game one NBA Finals is then
the books, New York steals home court advantage.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Wemby wobbly.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Reading a headline this morning, the Knicks steal game one
and there was no stealing. They were clearly better energy,
better team down the stretch. So you don't want to
overreact to game one.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The Spurs in the second half did not have their legs.
Their shooting was atrocious. They came out of a grueling
seven game series. They did not have energy in the
fourth quarter. They just I mean, the numbers tell you.
They fell off a cliff in the fourth quarter. Shot
twenty six percent from three in the game, night two
(01:17):
for nineteen in the second half. They had no legs left. Okay,
So I'm not going to overreact to Game one. They
did generate seven more unguarded catching three, catch and shoot threes.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Just couldn't hit.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Any of them, so they they generated all sorts of
good looks. They air balled open jumpers. But here's the thing.
I'm not sure this Wemby twenty two years old, still growing,
still developing his body. I'm not sure if he can
handle the strength the girth of Mitchell Robinson, Cat and OG.
(01:55):
I think he may need another offseason and another fifteen pounds.
He got pushed around on both ends. He got pushed
all over the floor. He looks like Skinny Honis now
Giannis about year five. It didn't look the same. And
I'm I'm I look at Kat. Say what you want
about Kat's defense. He was incredibly sturdy on the defensive
(02:19):
end last night. And Mitchell Robinson is seven feet tall
and two hundred and forty five pounds. That is that
is man's strength. That is years in an NBA weight
training program. Both ends of the floor, they are pushing
Wimby all over the place.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Og.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We talked about OG yesterday. He's got a lower center
of gravity. Well, when you're seven to five, everybody's got
a lower center gravity. And Kat was pushing him around
Mitchell Robinson was now, listen, the Spurs are gonna shoot
better again. They were generating good catch and shoot. Looks
more than the Knicks. And Dylan Harper. We will play
(03:00):
more late in the game. Hey de Aaron Fox, that's
not it. Get Dylan Harper in the game late. That's
bad coaching. Get him in the game. So they will improve.
And let's not go crazy. But you watched what I watched.
The Knicks were an older team. We knew it, a
more experienced team, we knew it. But even when they
(03:20):
were struggling in down thirteen, they looked organized. They didn't
look chaotic. They just couldn't hit shots. I thought the
Spurs looked young and a little frustrated at times, disorganized,
a way too frenetic. I mean, we've all been asking ourselves.
It's kind of been the overarching theme all season long.
(03:43):
When does the dynasty start for San Antonio? But there
is a reason. You have to go back to the
seventies and the Portland Trailblazers. There hasn't been a team
this young to make the Finals in fifty plus years,
and last night that was on display. They looked young,
they played young, and even though they came out of
that grueling seven game series, and they they should have
(04:07):
been better in the fourth. Like I understand being tired,
but they're deep, and they're young, a lot of young legs.
Some of it may have been nerves that can sap energy.
I think some of it is we all know this.
The NBA is going to allow you to be physical
in the finals. We talked about this all week. The
NBAS always swallow the whistle in the finals. Well, that
(04:30):
plays to the Knicks advantage here. They got more big, strong,
old guys in the front line, so you know, and
you could say, and I also thought San Antonio was
way to Wemby reliant, and you could say, well, the
Knicks are Brunson reliant, but they're not on the defensive end.
They need Wemby to dictate defense and offense. And they're
(04:54):
asking Wemby to now play twice as many minutes almost
as he did in the regular season. Remember he was
played in twenty seven twenty eight minutes in the regular season.
Now you're talking mid forties, and he's gotta dominate both ends.
It's not that Brunson takes the defensive side off. But
I mean, they've got Josh Hart and bridges Og and
Mitchell Robinson they got bodies they don't. As long as
(05:16):
he plays hard, stays in front of his guy, they're
fine defensively.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So I mean, Gotham.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
City may have needed Batman, but they also had a
police department. Somebody had to write some speeding tickets. It
can't all be Batman. It can't all be Wemby. You
gotta give me something else besides Wemby, because on the
defensive end, he's the Knicks are just making U turns
like nobody wants to touch him, and he really moves.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Wemby really moves on the defensive end.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
But I mean, I'm looking at these fourth quarter numbers
energy Knicks, production Knicks, efficiency Nicks. So I don't want
to go crazy, but can this Wimby, twenty two year
old Wimby who everybody in the Knicks, big old, stronger
(06:09):
players are getting underneath him and pushing him around.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
This Wemby is built to beat this Knicks front line.
And that may sound hyperbolic, but I watch what you
watch the refs. Remember in New York, the Knicks will
get even a better whistle, right like you go home
you get a little better whistle at home. Here was
Wemby after Game one defeat.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Every team guards differently. You know, I'm gonna figure it out.
It's uh yeah, I mean I was bad tonight. It's
not more complicated than that. We've been done any series before,
never any finals, obviously. But I'm not kicking myself about anything.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Really.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I mean, I'm not worried the slightest.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, I'd be worried the slide. I'd be worried a little.
You just lost home court advantage. So my only concern
with the Knicks. Brunson got banged up twice. Kind of random.
He got banged up twice. You know, he probably going
to be a little sore for Friday. The other thing is,
(07:19):
you know the Spurs. Now, you can't watch that game
and come to any other conclusion than this, throw the
kitchen sink at Brunson. Make somebody else beat you. Throw
every and Stefan Castle did a good job. But the
Knicks are setting so many screens, with so many I mean,
Josh Hart maybe six', five he plays got power.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Forward and here's the outther.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Thing you gotta Keep brunson. Healthy and some of it's,
random but you got to keep him. Fresh and he
took thirty one shots last. Night and the question, is
because we've seen bigger guards Like luca And James harden
run out of gas when they're jacking up thirty shots
early in a.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Series and this is The. Finals, now this is not The.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
East this is The, finals and it's gonna be a
super physical. Series so are you gonna get thirty one?
Shots and this kind of great fourth quarter play In
game six Or game? Seven here's the good news for The.
Knicks they USE i Mean Josh. Hart they have so
many complimentary. Pieces Josh hart led The knicks and assists fifteen,
(08:23):
rebounds four. Steals and that's the thing where it felt
like it was all Wemby, Bridges Josh, hart The villanova
guys last. Night AND i think this is the real.
Thing when The villanova trio was on the, floor The
knicks were plus thirty. Nine and so there's a lot
of takeaways in this game last. Night one of them
(08:45):
is how complementary The knicks are cat plan, defense all
the assists and steals From Heart, BRIDGES i, mean he
finally missed a free. Throw bridges played, well just so
many different, guys many of Them villanova guys very much a,
collective very.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
COLLABORATIVE i do worry.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
BECAUSE i think San antonio is gonna throw everything At.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
BRUNSON i think.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
THEY i, mean if you watch that, Game Mitch johnson's
watching the tape on. That with a, team you got
to Get brunson off his. Spots you got to push
him into places he's. Uncomfortable he got good. Looks now
he also hit a couple of tough, shots but he
was getting too many good. Looks it's not just keeping him.
Healthy The knicks have to maintain the ability to let
(09:33):
him be off ball in key. Spots gonna need more,
scoring maybe more more ball in the hands Of. Cat
But cat last night felt like to me his role
was to bang On. Wemby that's what it kind of
felt like last. Night their assignment last night for The
knicks was we'll give the ball To brunson, late but
we're gonna make a statement Against, wemby and boy did.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
They Here's jalen after the.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Win there's a mixture of us playing good defense and
us obviously getting a little, lucky but they come ready
to play more than any other team that we. Faced
just goes back to having each other's. Back you never
know it's really gonna, happen and so being together in
the court and players are gonna. Happen you can't really
script what's really gonna go. On just making sure we're
(10:22):
going out there playing for each.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Other, Yeah wemby last night was two for eleven when
guarded By. Cat so the formula for The knicks, was
let's get off first six seven. Minutes, okay we're, rusty
let's get off to a really intense. Start ress let
them Play. Nicks Did knicks are gonna win the fourth
quarter in this? Series that's another downside for The spurs
(10:44):
since they've been keeping track of fourth quarter. Offense like
The knicks are the best. Ever this team is so
good late in. Games now it was compounded because The,
SPURS i mean they didn't have their.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Legs it was real.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Lot they were air balling three point shots and maybe it's,
nerves BUT i think by the fourth quarter you're at.
HOME i don't think. NERVES i think it was just
they were. Exhausted so now everybody's on equal. Rest that should. Change,
FRIDAY J, MAC i think you AND i both BECAUSE
i followed you last. NIGHT i think both of us
came to the conclusion That knicks had much better energy
(11:22):
late in This they've all had great energy in the first.
Half second, Half nicks had much better. Energy but were
you at all concerned with San antonio looked kind of disorganized.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
OFFENSIVELY i mean we talked about this.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
BRIEFLY i Think Mike brown has a big coaching edge
here And Mitch JOHNSON i didn't like what he did
in the second. Half did you notice they got outscored
in the second half fifty seven to. Forty you, know
you talked about running out of, gas but like The
knicks were, like, hey we've got to get back in transition.
Defense The spurs didn't have one fast break basket in
the second. Half fourteen points in the first, half fast
break zero in.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Transition so that was only THE nxt game in twenty three. Days, Yeah,
SO i mean you could see. It both teams had great.
Energy men the first quarter flew. By it WAS i,
mean it was so much defense and. Body but in
the second half you could see. It San antonio just.
Wilted and again we're giving the next credit for. It
(12:22):
but San antonio was generating good looks and was missing them.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
BADLY i don't think you can Underestimate colin the mental
and physical wear and tear from That thunder series that was.
Grueling the, flopping the, Arguing wemby not talking to the
media like that was.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Everything that was kind of Their Super.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Bowl did you see the knickser now favored in the
series their favorite to win THE Nba.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Finals, NOW i think that might be a bit of an,
overreaction but.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
It's.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Hard it's hard not to come to this conclusion age.
SIZE i mean you're talking Og Josh hart plays like
a power Forward Cat Mitchell robinson styles make. Fights we
wanted to Watch game.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
One do you think.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
They'll Pull wendy Off, cat BECAUSE i don't think that's
a good matchup For. Wendy he was getting blown by
and like you, said the body blows all. Night he
was just settling for. THREE i Think castle is probably
going to end up On. Wendy, now he's given up
a lot of, size but he's sturdy and. Strong BECAUSE
i don't think is going to end up On. Cat
you Mean castle will end up on On.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Cat, yes.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
There's some things when you watch the first game or
the first half of A Super, bowl you see certain
things and you can't unsee. Them wemby being pushed around
on both. Ends, again it's it took youannis about five
years to look like the Current. YIANNIS i don't know
if This wemby is built for this front. LINE i, mean,
(13:53):
Listen Josh hart is six.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Five that.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
Dude is he led the game in rebounds and assists
for the knicks and STEALS and i mean he when
you look, at him, you, think oh that's like, a
two that's.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
A three he plays like a.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Power forward, so good best glue guy in. The league. Love.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Him Yeah stefan Castle on cat is probably.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
The call so, all right we.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Got something else THAT that i think. Is watch we've
said It about cat. All year he's not a refined offensive.
Player yet he's. Twenty TWO but i have a question
long Term about.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Wemby's offense next In, the.

On, YouTube subscribe hit that thumbs up icon and, Comment
away you're now Entering The noble zone Sponsored By Credible,
Great race none of. The bull, you know a lot
of times when people Talk, about wemby, they're like for,
his size he is so graceful for, his size he
(15:33):
handles the ball well for. His, size well the size
makes him incredibly dominant on the. Defensive end but you
are what your, body is and you are what your.
Game is there are downsides to ALMOST every, nba body
and at seven, foot four, for instance when he drives,
(15:53):
into traffic he can be a turnover waiting, to happen
or the fact that you can get him off his
spot because he has a very high center. Of gravity
nixt to that all night. Last Night So i'm i'm
not questioning how great. HE is i would have voted HIM,
an mvp but like prime Example Is, anthony davis The,
former laker like he didn't love being outside. Shooting threes
(16:16):
why because he had such a strong base twelve to.
Fifteen feet you just he was he could back you
in and get. A, Basket Conversely kevin durant has lived on.
The perimeter why thinner player knows his body. So players,
to ME when I, watch wimby he is, very comfortable
sometimes his most comfortable being outside on the perimeter because
(16:41):
he knows. His body he knows he can get pushed
around and and you can move him off. His spots so,
You know lebron had the, perfect body, six,' nine fast
could finish, at the rim could beat a guard. Off
the ball never a great, three point shooter. But good
enough but, That that's outlier like there are Limitations To.
(17:03):
Even Steph curry magic johnson at six nine and a
half was not a. Great defensive guard. He had limitations
and We look at wemby and a lot of the
things we say, about, him is oh the size on,
THE defensive end i don't doubt. Any of, that but
offensively not only is his game lacking a, certain veteran
refinement he just, needs more. Touches more games is he
(17:26):
is semi. Dependent on others he's not. A play initiator.
He's a Finisher. He's not jokic jokic is, a better
shooter he's a, better play initiator and. He's a finisher
wemby's A, great finisher offensively he's not really. A play
initiator he is dependent on somebody breaking down the back
(17:48):
court and getting. To the rim he is dependent on his.
GUY'S shooting, threes i mean part of last night's Ugliness
for the spurs is they.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Got looks they couldn't. Hit any shots if they hit.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
SIX more threes i may be saying today it's The
best player, i've ever seen but he is a little
dependent on others finishing, what he, initiates you know and
he can finish, without the ball but when you drop,
people on him he'll dish that ball. To the corner
(18:19):
if you're not hitting those shots that Offense, with the spurs.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
It Is.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Ugly here's wemby why did they? Blow game?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
One his thoughts when did you feel like things were?
Speaker 13 (18:33):
Slipping a little was it was it quick or was
it just simply just they just started? Making more shots
was it? Something just simple? IT was QUICK i think
i think we let. THAT one, go i mean we
let them get, an offensive rebound so. That's on us,
and after that, an experienced team they knew how to,
play with momentum and we had the momentum until late.
(18:54):
In that game THIS is why i said we let.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
That, one Go listen the spurs, Can say this we're
not gonna. Shoot that poorly We're Gonna play dylan harper.
Down the stretch we, got great looks more unguarded catch
and shoot threes. Than they did, but you know you
start watching this and Even when the, knicks were trailing
you felt like they. Were in, control you know you're
(19:17):
you're crossing Your fingers. On brunson's health and a lot
of the Times when the knicks Were Out, rebounding san
antonio it, wasn't Particularly close like wemby was being. Completely
boxed out it wasn't like they were tipping it around and.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
BATTLING for it i.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Mean that the knicks built a nice, little cushion underneath
and it was. On all, Sides og, Here kat, There
Robinson there, josh hart there not that.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Easy to penetrate.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
So it felt very wimby dependent last, Night from me
maybe it feels different if they, hit six threes but
they were air ball.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And open. SHOPS Last night j mack. With, the, news
no no.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
This Is the. Herd line news.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Start with some grim News From The.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Green Bay Packers colin micah parsons spoke to the media
this week and he said he will not start the.
Season playing football he will probably Wait.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Until mid october he.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
OBVIOUSLY suffered The acl in december in That. GAME against
denver I love the. PACKERS this season i will have
Them In some. Super bowl futures but This idea that
parsons is going to miss the start of the. Season
Not great here's micah talking about RECOVERY.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
FROM the acl.
Speaker 14 (20:32):
I don't Think goody Or nate or matt he wants
me to go Out there if i'm not a one
hundred percent and rice reinjury and lose me, for the
year and it's just a waste. Of a year everything
is about playoffs and. Winning Football games devin september not
to even just look at. That far ahead but we got,
(20:52):
a tough game tough, schedule THIS year and i think for,
the betterment everyone everyone wants made one hundred in points,
in those games so we can make.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
This championship run We sure green bay.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Won, that trade, well, hey, hey, hey hey.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Hey, slow down now let's Look at the packers. First
five games it's almost like the league knew this was
gonna happen because they got gifted Some. Cupcakes early minnesota not.
A total cupcake but we don't even know who.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
They're starting quarterback as it's like they're doing gets much tougher. A,
week twelve.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Yes so they're gonna Probably, Beat the vikings they'll be favored,
On the road they'll be Favored, Against the jets they'll
be Favored, against the falcons and Probably against the. Bucks
as well then there's the bearskin so three and one
or four and, oh without micah thank you to the.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
League, for that.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah it's a very intentionally. Scheduled professional league we know this,
to be true that they are trying to have the
stars ready for the biggest games in, the Solo Spots
and green bay got a bit of a gift.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
The, FIRST month, now i know we kind of go
back and forth. A little bit do You have the packers?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Winning?
Speaker 15 (22:03):
The?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Division come no do you?
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Have?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Been second no do you have been. In the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I'm just gonna wait.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And Watch camp and I'm Not, anti GREEN bay But
i think detroit is going to be noticeably. Better on
offense they solved their. LEFT tackle Issue i think. CHICAGO'S
going Nowhere, i think minnesota if, they finished fourth will
be the best fourth place team. In the league, it's
a really. REALLY tough, division I mean didn't minnesota go
(22:34):
four and two in division last year? AND finish FOURTH
i mean i could be, wrong on, That but like
minnesota's your. FOURTH place team i thought that had a
winning record and division. Could be wrong so this division is.
Like no other it's the. Best division easily it's a.
Great coach division it's a. Great offensive DIVISION you've, got
I Mean, even kyler murray now you look at him as,
a cast off he was a.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Number one pick.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
He's got talent so even after Or right before, MICHAEL
went down I think the packers had like the third
best odds or fourth best odds To Win the Super
bowl and denny goes down and They face the bears
and it was like a nip and Tuck Game, without
michael parsons, AND it's like i DON'T know if i
could change your Mind, On, the packers colin but uh
(23:15):
might need to adjust Some Things.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
On green bay i'm sure you.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Saw the news today they signed a, couple of receivers no,
big deal, extensions you.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Know, good players anyways let's move on, To Your.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Guy.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
Sammy Donald colin sam donald stepped to the podium this
week and he, was asked, about oh boy you know,
the Big Move the miles Garrett to. The Rams, move so,
donald of, course you Know. Ever the statesman Now He's
a super. Bowl winning quarterback he had a Fun Comment
on miles Garrett joining, The Rams, Here sam donald miles is.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
A Great player shoot jery versus a great. Player as well,
but you. Know we don't i'll think we see them,
until week sixteen, so you know we'll cross that bridge when.
We get there.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
No bolton Board Material. From slaton, savyd you know it's Really.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Interesting about donald so what is the number of games
that you think it's reasonable to? Judge a QUARTERBACK like, if,
i said okay let's take a guy's, last thirty starts
is that has that a?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Big enough sample so?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
It's, TWO seasons yeah i.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Mean it is you want to go to? Thirty five
starts how about? THIRTY five starts.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
I think, Context is needed. Colin liked there let's.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Go to the last Six Games of Sam. Darnold in
carolina One Start, in san francisco Full, year in minnesota Full,
year in, seattle four teams. Thirty six games go look at.
His PASSER rating it i think it's a it's number one. In.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
THE league, Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I mean, i'm not listening not patting myself, in the
back but this whole THING about all i heard In C,
Was hugh, no kevin, O'Connell you're right we didn't EVEN
know if jsn was the. Number one receiver why an't
we all gonna come? Clean on this we have and
just acknowledge he is a top ten quarterback based on
(25:13):
the last, thirty five, starts two teams, two receiving corps,
two left, tackles two coordinators. Multiple three teams if you
count the last Six games at carolina where he was
benched and then started and went four and two.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Down the stretch take when.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
He was benched and he got the last Six starts
in carolina that, moment until today that's four teams and about.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Thirty five starts it's a.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
LOT of, ws, i mean, listen you Know Throwing at
JUSTIN jefferson and jsn in.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Back to back he.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
Is not, bad you know you can see the poop
poo platter of receivers Jcar Do.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
With, justin Jefferson yeah how GINO? DO with jsn.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I think HE was a jsn was a rookie and
THEY still. Had DK metcalf but. I, Don't know listen i'm.
NOT disputing it i do think it's Fun that you
THAT'S the thing i love.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
About the show you're All. In on donald he can
do no wrong.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
IN your book i wasting a trophy a. FEW months, Ago.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
I mean jalen hurts did the SAME thing one mvp
and you won't give. Him the respect but that's neither.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
HERE nor there I. Do like donald, i'm.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Just curious what do you think The chances of seattle's
odds are getting Back To.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
THE super bowl i think they're going, to be.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
REALLY really good I think the nfc is now BETTER,
than THE afc and i think that the Bigger problem,
isn't seattle's Regression it's the Rams Have added Myles garrett
and trent McDuffie.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
Not worried about the. Offensive Coordinator, CHANGE.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Huh no i mean he said, yesterday he said it's mostly.
The same stuff it's. No big deal they're not. Making
massive changes basically, the same system a. Little different verbage it's.
Speaker 15 (26:43):
NO.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Big deal nbb we'll wrap Up with the raiders and
another one of, Your Favorite, guys max crosby frequent guest.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
One of the ADVANTAGES of the nfl over. Every other
sport you can be a, fourth place team you can

i can remember Fascinated.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
By The, Raiders, lindard.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Baum, MENDOZA New. COACH gm sharp i mean they went And,
got like naylor the, number Three, Receiver rock powers Ashton.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Genty.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
ROCK powers yeah i think it's going to be a. Really,
interesting team, NO you.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Know i was trying to tell With or not mendoza
was tacitly endorsing getting The endorsement from crosby because he
didn't Mention much about cousins, in THIS interview and i
just wonder if He's gushy about mendoza in hopes That,
they start mendoza maybe a little quarterback controversy stirring.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
Amongst, The players yes i'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Stir.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
The pot yeah jmack, With the news well.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That's the news and thanks for stopping By The. Herd
line news.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
SO if, you i Tried You know ted. Cruz WAS
involved so i try not to spend too much. Time
on it the. College Football Stuff and nick saban went,
out and, said you know it's. A runaway train how
much money do you have to spend to compete for.
A national, championship in football the number is about thirty five.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
To forty million. There's the number it's about.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Ten in basketball, what's interesting, is you, know college football most,
Of Our lives notre dame.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Has been.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Very very influential they're the best program that's not entirely
a member. Of a conference they're a partial MEMBER, in
the acc which they'd be better served maybe being a
full time MEMBER of the acc, Because you know i'm
listening to their.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Athletic Director talk notre dame does not have.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
A money problem according to, a general manager college teams
now have general managers, In College football notre dame is a.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
BIG, Time, Spender.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Lsu, Texas Texas, Tech, Ohio State miami notre dame is
right up. There with them they also do not have.
A Coaching, problem marcus, freeman to me is as good
as any coach.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
In The Country so notre dame's got. The Money right
notre dame has got.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
The Coach right notre dame's problem is they can't find,
any Dance Partners and pete. Bavaqua knows it so THAT'S
why when usc pulled out or whoever did pulled out,
of the game they Panicked. And signed, byu BYU's fine
but byu is not a. Top, fifteen player look since
the big TEN in the Sec, Have, ADDED, Oregon, Washington,
(30:11):
usc texas oklahoma They Won't play notre dame.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Out of conference so if You.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Look at notre dame, schedule right now they have twelve
games and only one elite team, on That. Schedule one
miami that is a must win. Game for them they
have to. WIN that game i don't care how badly
they box. Everybody else's ears You lose to, miami at
home how much credibility? Do you have you could drop
(30:42):
ten spots in the playoff rankings if.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
You lose At.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Home to, miami so Conversely Look at. Ohio state schedule
six legitimate programs, On, Their, Schedule, TEXAS, Illinois, Indiana. Usc
oregon michigan, Don't kid yourself beelam has built a Real.
Team in illinois do you watch them in? THEIR bowl Game, Usc,
Schedule Oregon, Washington.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Penn, State. OHIO state indiana.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I WON'T even count ucla though people think they're going
to have.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
A good year.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Five legitimate programs so it's really interesting when we're.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Talking about the.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
College football playoff You're Gonna notice notre dame is a huge,
proponent of it and the reason is in a, twelve
team playoff they can't. Find dance PARTNERS that's why usc
has all. THE leverage here usc Does Not. NEED notre
dame usc Is Not. Anti Notre dame Jen cohen likes
(31:40):
vauqua And They. Like notre dame they wouldn't, mind playing
them but they're gonna play them. On their terms they're
Not playing in october In, between The, hoosiers The. Buckeyes
and oregon they're, not doing it.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Nor should.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
They IT'S dumb So I find Notre Dame's essence notre
dame fascinating in the new. College football playoff they want
a massive playoff because they are struglin to.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Find dance partners and.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
If it's only going to be a, twelve team playoff
two of those going to Twu Lane and notre. Dame
guaranteed one if they're in, the top twelve nobody's gonna
give him an out.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Of conference game why would You Look at?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Ohio state schedule now, people, Can Say well Notre dame
Has texas Scheduled that game i've been told is completely
fluid and is fifty to. Fifty at best it will
Come To, Fruition. Ohio state texas that game's Gonna Be Played.
Notre dame TEXAS that is i am assured that is
(32:43):
fluid so and and that that game is like twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (32:49):

think they have a. Five year contract he's not A Fan.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Of notre dame that's just the.
Speaker 12 (33:02):
Way It is but I'VE always, liked i mean we're
three And One, Against ohio state we're four And Two.
AGAINST notre, Dame I mean notre dame HAS their, own
tv station they make, their own rules they print. Their
own money they got like a money machine in the.
Backyard or something.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
There's so Much Animosity. For Notre dame but i'm not
listening as much. To the animosity i'm looking, at the
Reality Which. Is notre dame they're, not you know this
whole thing. About super conferences they're kind of. Rolling their
eyes they don't want any. Part of, that they like they, got,
the money rolling they, got the coach. They got everything
(33:38):
they just can't. Find, Dance Partners.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
NOTRE dame texas i just looked. UP tentatively, scheduled, i
mean folks if you're tentatively going to a party with friends,
in two years that you might as well cancel it
now you're not going?
Speaker 3 (33:56):

make the? Celtics look small did you notice that at? All?
Last night next.

Seven days in counting Until The biggest world cup Ever.
Comes To america christian BALLISTIC and the us men's national
team Kick Off their world cup dream on a huge,
night of music stars AND celebration In, La on. Friday
june twelfth coverage begins At six Pm.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Eastern on fox one of the things that is so
obvious to me when you Look at the Knicks, and
the celtics there are things built In.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
To the knicks that are.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
So. Sustainable long term i'll give. You an examp if
you look, at net rating the Best Quarter The new
york knicks play is the fourth quarter because they have
A Player, in, jalen brunson who, by the way only
takes twenty percent of the cap. And is beloved their
(35:19):
best quarter Is The fourth the celtics' worst quarter net rating.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Is, the Fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
And, tatum And brown who i'm not sure, like each
other eat up seventy percent. Of the cap they'll be
paying them one hundred and twenty. Million next year so
you get a team Friendly deal with brunson and he
is completely dependable in. The fourth quarter you get two
player friendly deals from players that don't necessarily. Love Each
(35:51):
other in boston eating seventy percent, Of the cap brunson's contract, allows,
for big talented expensive. Veteran front Line tatum and brown's
Contracts limit, the celtics cheap youthful and not that. Talented
front line that's not good. News long term they had To,
(36:13):
Get Off, porzingis andrew holliday who's not a Big and
al horford who. Was getting Older, but the celtics you
Look at. What Boston is jalen brown comes out and
said this year was. His, favorite ever oh you mean
The one that tatum didn't play, most of it but
you were bound in the first round. Of the playoffs
that's your that's your. Best year ever the not the
(36:34):
title year so It's like. The knicks stuff you got
a team friendly. Fourth quarter quarterback. The players love two
of The. Guys are villanova two of his Best teammates.
Are Villanova guys east coast guys. Love each other the
team last night in, the fourth quarter they just get
out of The. Way for brunson. There's no Confusion it.
(36:57):
Is brunson's offense they just get out. Of The, way
the Celtics it's passive tatum who gets weirdly, insecure and
Disappears and aggressive brown who says his favorite year, was
last year the first. Round EXIT year, SO i mean
i just a Lot of this knick Stuff because of
(37:17):
brunson's salary and the way he is collectively sort of
embraced by Not just the nova guys. But the team it.
Just very Sustainable. Like The celtics the celtics feel weird Compared.
To The knicks the knicks feel. Like A collective the.
Celtics Feel weird the celtics are totally dependent. On The
(37:39):
three the knicks are middle. Of the pack they, can
hit them not. Dependent ON it So i just i'm
watching that fourth, quarter last night and It's like the
knicks Can go inside brunson. Will take over they can
hit a three if. They need it there's, so many
ways but by and large they just set screens and
(37:59):
get out of The way for brunson and.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Let him go.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
YOU never, KNOW i mean i Will contend the Celtics
Moved off Marcus Smart because, Brad, stevens thought okay it's
One Thing for jalen brown to take shots. Away from
him I'm Not letting marcus smart take shots.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Away from HIM.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
You, never i Mean when the knicks play in, the
fourth quarter you know where, the BALL'S going and i
don't care if he's the smallest guy. On the floor You,
can see brunson you know exactly. Where he is There are,
times tatum disappears and he's. A huge talent so In The, Entire,
Nova knicks Brunson bridge is heart make up fifty five
percent of the. Cat next year that's fifteen Percent less Than,
(38:36):
tatum and brown who don't. Like each OTHER from what,
I can, tell I mean if i came out and
said my, favorite show ever my five, favorite shows ever
None of them, Jmack.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Was on, you'd, be like wow that's kind.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Of a sign, if you're like we got bounced in.
THE first round i had so much.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Fun this year oh my, Favorite, CHAMPIONSHIP here no i?
Like this One where was? TATUM didn't play? I love
this that was THE best shows. I ever.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Had that's Weird Here was chris Bruce start after boston
was the limited on The on the celtics roster being so.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Three point Reliant.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Jalen and jason tatum are obviously two legitimate, Stars After
that Baylor shireman and Cada And, If peyton princher god
bless him is, a really good you.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Know six man.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
When you get into the playoffs and you know it's
a smaller sample size, seven game series and you know
all types of other things are, coming.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
Into play does a? Guy get nervous is? A guy?
Clutched the analytic you.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Can't solely, Rely on analytics.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
But, watching the knicks it's it's it feels like they're
not persuaded or not beholden to anything other than Give.
It to brunson put some big, bodies to Screen makes
defon castle, work through them which. SOMETIMES you can't i.
Will say this you know for, all of us you
