I won't say it on the air.
Speaker 8 (06:38):
I'm Rob.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Caution, hold on now, I gotta do some math and
rip think about this all right.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Now, I gotta try to read your list.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Rob, Let me tune your mic on Magic City Thursday.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Okay, Alex, tell me what he said in my ear?
All right, tell me what he said.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
I'll tell you all right.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And of course on social media, boy, never heard of Elijah? Yes, indeed,
so you said he's coming to Atlanta with you? Yes? Okay,
all right, Rob.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Just so you know, Dan Bayer says he never misses
the show.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yes, I know he never misses the Couple. I get it,
all right.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Name everybody, Yes, everybody is a present and account of
for all right. So last night Game one, and uh,
you know, we watched the first half uh together, yep,
and uh you know, the Spurs got off to a
good start, got up by fourteen seven at the half,
fourteen in the third quarter, Wemby sat down, Knicks go
(07:44):
on eleven oh run before you know what, you got
a ball game, and the Knicks come out on top. Kevin,
what was your takeaway on the nick of Bockey, Rob Rob?
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I watched the game, Like you said, we watched about
the first half together, and then obviously I watched the
second half, uh solo, and I was really dissected. Okay,
a couple of things and we'll get more to the
other hour. My view on the Spurs, let's do it separate, yep.
So but so but that makes me like, okay, what
am I seeing here from them?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Okay? Check.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Then I started looking at the next end of it.
I'm like, okay, what am I seeing?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And a couple of things came to mind, Rob.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Number one, thet that game was eerily similar to what
we saw what the game, one of the calves, and
that the Knicks not quite on point that they're you know,
they're playing well, but they seem to be a little
rusty and then it's like something clicks and they get
it going and they're able to find like the groove
and take off from there. And so I'm watching the
game and I'm figuring out different strategies, I'm looking at
(08:36):
different lineups, and all of a sudden, I start to think, Man,
the Knicks may have the formula for Wemby. Now, Wemby
is a great player, He's gonna have some games, but
they throw something out at him differently than what the
thunder could throw out of him, and what the thunder
couldn't throw out of him, and you thought you could
if you're the thunder saying, hey, we got all. We
(08:57):
got a third team All NBA guy, a first All
defensive guy, and chet Homegum. I call him set because
he ain't got no h in his name, because he
ain't had no heart in Game seven.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
So the difference is the way they.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Can come out with Carl Anthony Towns and actually make
Wenby guard an individual, not guard as he go. He
gets to be a free safety kind of walking around,
run around, block a shot, be a hes second man, defender,
help defender. He has to guard Karl Anthony Towns and
Carlthon Towns was blowing by him off the dribble, Carlthon
Towns was able to get him in a little bit
of foul trouble, get a couple of files on him.
(09:30):
Carl Anthony Towns stretches the floor when the Knicks need
to because he can stay all the way deep for
three and he ain't set. That's right, Set, not Chet.
He'll shoot the three and Winby had to respect that.
And we all know Carlton Towns has a quick release,
so he all of a sudden, I'm looking at this like, man,
this is a huge matchup advantage. Not that he's better
(09:50):
than Wenby, but what he provides for the Knicks versus
what Set couldn't provide for the Thunder. So that's the
thing I'm looking at. You watch also how he's offending Winby.
Wimby was two for twelve when Carl Anthony Towns was
guarding him.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Do I expect that every game?
Speaker 10 (10:05):
No?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
But I have the luxury if I'm the Knicks of
putting him on him, when really their original goal was
to put og on him, who has the best plus
minus of anybody in the entire league of guarding Winby.
Throughout the season, so that actually is the game plan
for the Knicks. But they had advantage with cat and
they rode with it and it worked to the tune
of obviously at ten point victory. So I watched that,
(10:27):
I was like, they have a formula to make this
a difficult series both offensively and defensively for Winby.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
He's gonna have a game or two. He's Wmby if
it goes five to sixty seven.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
But the idea that you know, this is not the
thunder and that he has to guard him, He's not Hartenstein.
I don't really have to guard him. Check is self checked.
All of a sudden, he forgot how to play basketball.
So that's the one main takeaway. And then lastly, of course,
Jalen Brunson is the absolute closer. He is the absolute
just sharp, smells blood. He's coming to take a team
(10:59):
out of this.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The Spurs.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
He didn't shoot great in the first half, but what
I love about him is the relentlessness. A lot of
guys need to learn this. It ain't going I'm getting
the shots I like, but they're not falling. I'm gonna
get this thing going in the second half, and he
did to the tune. Of of course, twenty something points
in the second half, more specifically thirteen in the fourth.
He was cooking, just like he did against the Calves
(11:21):
in that game one when they got rolling. We know
he's their closer, and I love that they have an identity,
Josh Harkins say, man like he said.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
He said, it's like my I'm a servant to this team.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
I take it like my faith. I'm a servant to
my faith. I'm a servant to this team, is what
he said. He can do whatever they need, Bridges can
do whatever they need. Og can do whatever they need.
And then Carldony Towns providing buckets and defense and brunts
and closing it out. They have the formula to be
able to beat the Spurs team. It's gonna be difficult.
I said, it'll take seven. Who knows, could be a
little sooner, but they have the formula to get it done.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Rob I sent it. I sent it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I think Wemby has done a number against the Knicks
in the past. That was one of those games. And
I'll get to the Spurs side. As the Knicks, they
got great. It was they were very fortunate in this
from the standpoint of You're right as far as Brunson.
You know, thirty one point thirty points on thirty one shots,
(12:17):
like not really the most efficient, No, no, no, not efficient
at all, But it doesn't matter if you can get
it at the end.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And I think so.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Also, remember I think you had mentioned it that the
Knicks were off. Obviously they had a sweep, and I
think it caught up with the Spurs, you know what
I mean later on in the game, and I think
I'll give you that. I just think that, you know
what I mean, it caught up with them. They started
missing shots and turn turn the ball over, you know.
(12:46):
And you got to figure out when Wimby's out, even
on a bad night, you got to be able to
maintain not you can't be up thirteen Winby goes out
and then you give up eleven straight points. Like that
defeats the whole purpose of building.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
I have something they're gonna have to figure out, right,
because they did that last series too.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Like you can't he goes to sit.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Out and I get about how good he is, but still,
you know, and I'm not saying you're gonna pitch a shutout.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Or anything, but but there you are.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
But the Knicks do what they've got to do, which
is the whole idea is to be able to steal
a game on the road, put the young team on
on its on its heels. But I've just watched too
much NBA basketball, and one game doesn't determine anything.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
In the NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
We've talked about a million times teams have been up two,
oh you know what I mean, and don't win series.
You say, well, it's hard to win four out of five.
Plenty of teams have won four out of five. Being
down oh two not something that the Spurs want to
get to. But anyway, the Knicks they did what they
needed to do. They they persevered because they at one point,
(13:49):
I'm sure when they were down fourteen and third quarter
you were like, don't look good here, right?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
And the only thing I will say is they they
just have specifically having Brunson where they just they just
need a three minute run and three minute run and
they can get that thing down to you know, five
and be getting into the four.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And Rob I'll say this too.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Me and you talked about the Rob g always kept
posing the question, throwing out the numbers, and we both
kind of agreed that, like, hey, They're a good team,
but you know where the numbers may have them projected
way too great. We both agreed on that, and I
will say maybe we got to put some respect on
their name in that.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I can't help that.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
You know, I didn't have these world beater teams that
I had to smack up, but I did my part
by beating them all by an average of twenty four points.
I've won what is it now, eleven twelve games a row,
twelve games in a row, and I haven't lost in
over forty plus day. I mean, at certain point, it's
like what else can I do? Like I'm showing you, okay,
play at Western Conference team I did.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I beat them by ten on the road, Like what
more do you want from me?
Speaker 6 (14:50):
NBA fans, I think they have the right to question
that at this point, like I've done everything. I didn't
barely beat teams or let lesser teams stick around.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't think it's about I mean, I know you
bigger into that, because to me in the playoffs is
win and move on. Like whether it's big or small,
it's about winning games. And I get it right.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
But I guess what I'm saying. I'm saying I give
you that, but they've beaten like I.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Know team but the game right, But that that's the
argument that those other teams didn't really put up a fight.
And I know they beat Wemby and them Wemby had
a terrible game six for twenty one and the Knicks
one by nine, or you know what, they didn't blow
them out when winby shooting six for twenty one.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
That's the part you look at.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And we'll talk about that an hour or two, But
right now, hour one, where are you on the Knicks?
Impressed what you expected? Stunned the Knicks got? This is
a four game sweep. Give us your thoughts on the
Knicks only what did you get? What did you take
away from this about the Knicks? Are they on their
way to their first NBA championship since Morby Dick was

a guppy.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Eight seven seven ninety nine On five.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
That's hey, hey, Alex, that's got to be a drinking game.
And throughout the Hod Couple Show, every time Rob says

Speaker 3 (16:04):

Speaker 3 (19:27):
What say you?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox? So we got

Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Peter?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Hey, what's up? Guys?
Speaker 11 (19:38):
The Knicks they haven't played in ten days, and they
looked for Rusty, and they had bad shooting nights and
one by ten.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Do you think Bruns shoot like that again? And Bridges
and Josh Hart and even do you.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Think Wemby's gonna shoot six for twenty one? And Fox
players poorly as he played again?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I think that not wrong.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Men, and the twenty two year old kids, the grown
thirty year old men are gonna body him and bully
him again.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
We'll see, We'll see what kind of whistle will happen, David.
We'll see what happens.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Unless David Robinson and Kink duncan teach him how to
play in the low post overnight, San Antonio's in trouble
because who else they gonna have to score? Unless unless
Dylan comes through and starts lighting it up for a
lot more.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Yeah, I got something to say about that, though, Mitch Johnson.
I'll say that for next hour, Robert, Mitch Johnson, their
coast was tripping a little bit with some I didn't
like something he did for the Spurs.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
We'll talk about that all right. How about Lightning?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Rod in Detroit, you're on the Adahobe carrs is going

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Okay, come on, hold on, I know you city I'm
gonna get that hand tie lot break real quick.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Hold on about that, Rob, and I'm gonna challenge you
on that.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Okay, So what you no, no, no, you hit me up?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
No no no, you said hall of famers, all five
of them, you hit me up? When all of them
going to the Hall of Fame. They're not nothing. No,
come on, they're not even first team. They gotta win first.
Speaker 12 (21:32):
They're gonna send a Frenchman. They're gonna send the Frenchman

I'm also known as Super Rode Day.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Okay, I remember you. Thanks for calling. We appreciate it.
The radio station, thank you. Okay, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Thank you, buddy, appreciate it eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. It's okay to be a nick guy and
all that. Come on, man, everybody's in the Hall of
Fame now.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
And only the only argument I could that just hit me, Rob,
is me. What do we always say?
Speaker 6 (22:01):
It's the basketball in o NBA And three of them
got college championships. A couple of them got two from Villanova,
So there is an element of that.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Does Cat have one to I think?
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Yeah, you know what they might mess around doing simply
based off college, Rob, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Everybody can't get in and you know a lot of
people win the college shit.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Everybody can't get into the Hall of Fame. David. Oh,
you've got.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
David still right, David and Virginia David. All right, David,
you're on the odd couple of Fox Spirits radio. What's up, David?
Speaker 9 (22:29):
I'm right, shoutout Rob Kelvin Christ, I'm.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Paulind Thank you. I want to know.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
Listen, what do their knicks kind of do?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
What are they got to do?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Don't worry about me. I want you to give your opinion.
Everybody doesn't have to be on board with the Knicks.
This is why when fans do this, What do you
care about what I think? Tell me what you think
about the Knicks and what you saw. If you disagree
with me, because you know why, No, let me say
this to you, because the same thing. No matter where
(23:00):
I worked, I hear the same thing. Oh, why do
you hate the Lions so much? When I said they
didn't make the playoffs? Nobody called in the Pistons. Why
do you hate the Pistons? They won the first two
games against Cleveland? I still picked Cleveland. They didn't win.
Not one fan called in and said, Rob, you know what?
You were right? So I don't understand it. Just say
(23:22):
what you have to say. I don't what are you
pushing back against? What did I say tonight? Because I
picked the wimby?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I don't understand it's the issue.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
What's the issue? I'm asking you, what's the issue? There's
no issue.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
You're a subject matter expert, so.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I want to know what they had to do. What
do they have to do?
Speaker 9 (23:45):
You beat a subject not expert.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Lose the next four games, and then you call me back?
How's that?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I'll tell you why he called how's that? Rock back?
He called you because you said I believe it.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
When the Knicks get in the first quarter of the finals,
you still didn't want to give him the credit.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
That's why he called you, Rob. He's trying to listen
to you, he said, Dang, Rob, they don't who said
you ignite?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
They don't call when I'm right, Alex, if you ever
gotten Rob, they don't, they don't don't do that.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
No, my crow, I had to eat my crow when
the Lions suck and everybody call Rob.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
You on fire? Rob, Rob? This your season?
Speaker 8 (24:22):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (24:22):

Speaker 3 (24:23):

was against you. That wasn't that wasn't. No no, no,
no dude, Rob Man.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Rob you on fire, Rob Rob, You need to play
some bets, Rob Man, Rob all.

(24:59):
join now, but our guy Mark Stein, NBA reporter Mike Stein,
Mark Stein dot stub stack dot comics.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
You check them out there as well. Mark. What's up man, Jen?
How we doing? I'm good?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
How are you? You're breaking news down there in Dallas?
Tell us about it. What's going on with the Mavericks.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Well, they've got one of the three coaching openings, so
they're looking at a lot of people. They just kind
of started their search. They've ramped it up here. They've
got a lot of names. They're looking at anyone specific.
You guys want to talk about.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
How about Michigan's coach? Yeah, what's up with that? You know,
I'm from ann Arboro. I don't like to hear that.
Come on now, No, I just won a national championship.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Why shouldn't he be looking double up get another one?
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Basically, what I reported is, you know they've had some
exploratory talks with Dusty May and John Shier. It's too
soon to say that they're full fledged candidates, but you
know they're looking at every aspect of the coaching business,
coaches within the NBA. I mean the Dusty May talk.
(26:01):
I mean I heard it with Orlando Too earlier this spring.
But again, this is interest. I don't I definitely don't
think John Shire is leaving Dukes. And why would Dusty
May want to leave Michigan, where he just won a
national championship and where he's king unless you look. I
(26:23):
don't know Dusty May. I don't cover the college game, obviously,
Is he does he have strong interest in coming to
the NBA. Is that something that would really tempt him?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You know?
Speaker 9 (26:33):
I think only he knows that. But I think the
Mavericks are They've only had an opening here for a
couple of weeks, and I think they're they're basically they're
still on the mode of checking all the options.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
What was the big point pushing pushing point of getting
Jason Kidd out of there? Is just because you got
a new president and you know team president in general
manager wants to bring his own guy in.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Is that it?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Look?
Speaker 9 (26:56):
It's It is surprising because if you watch it happened
with Messiu Jerry when he took over the Denver Nuggets
and when he took over the Toronto Raptors. I mean
he kept the coaches there in place for a total
of eight seasons between George Carl, all three years that
Massaiu Jerry ran the Nuggets front office, Carl remained as coach.
He kept Dwayne Casey in place for five full years
(27:20):
when he first took over the Raptors. So it is
a little surprising that they've decided to make an immediate change.
But I think also there was around the league skepticism
would there be room for two huge personalities. And the
consistent word from Messiu Jerry since he took over is
(27:43):
they want to clean slate, they want to start completely over.
But my question is the Cooper Flagg who the MAVs.
Of course, they got Cooper Flag via a miracle in
last year's lottery. I mean, it's been a little of
change thrown at this young man since he became a Maverick.
(28:05):
So I mean he's gonna next season Cooper Flag will
have his second NBA coach and if you count the
two interim GMS he had, he's already had. He's on
his fourth GM. It's a lot for the rookie of
the year.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Yeah, let's go to the Game one NBA Finals. Obviously,
Knicks get a big win on the road to start
this thing off.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Just your takeaways.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
I felt like, man, the way they utilized Karl Anthony
Towns on both sides at wemby making him guard and
then also making him with making him two for twelve
on the defensive end, what'd you make of that?
Speaker 9 (28:38):
Yeah, Kats had bigger game statistically, but given the stakes,
I don't know that he's ever played a better game
as well as he played against Victor Wembinyama, who obviously
is you know the Spurs. The Spurs going into Game
one regular season in playoffs, they were thirty nine and
five in the last forty four games that Wenby played
(29:01):
at least twenty minutes. They don't lose very often when
Victor wen Miennyama's out there, and I thought you saw that.
You know that is if Kat could consistently play at
that level there, he would be talked about much differently
because he cannot only shoot it as a big man.
He can really move as a big man. And he
(29:22):
attacked the rim and attacked Victor Wenmenyama in ways that
Let's face it, Oklahoma City did not Chet Holmgren did not.
So now the question will be, if you know, can
Kat stay out of foul trouble and keep doing that.
Victor wen Minyama, historically, when a game doesn't go his way,
he tends to bounce back in a huge way. So
(29:45):
it's not it's gonna surprise no one if he has
a great game and San Antonio wins Game two. But
I mean you have to say, I mean, the Knicks
have not lost a game of any kind to anyone
who's April twenty third and it's June fourth, It's been
a long time since they've lost the game. I mean,
(30:06):
they are a team that is just they have so
much confidence they win into game one of the finals
with eight days off, and you know, Chip the rust
off pretty impressively. So the Spurs have a lot of
work to do. They've got to win game two. I mean,
they've got to even this thing up before it goes
back to New York.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Sure, you don't want to fall into an O two hole,
but the Spurs, for a young team, I've always been
impressed to be able to go into Game seven on
the road beating the defending champs. There's a lot of
stuff I like about this young team. And you're right
about Wemby bouncing back and again defensively, Mark, you know
you've covered this league as long as I have. Uh
(30:46):
you know, Cap might have gotten away with a few calls,
you know what I mean. Or defensively and you know
how it changes. You get two quick files in the
first quarter changes the entire game.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Yeah, I mean, maybe the most important stat for Karl
Anthony he only had four fouls exactly. He could easily
have three early tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
But look, the Knicks.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
The Knicks have been an un They are on an
unbelievable run.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I mean they've won.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Twelve playoff games in a row.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
We've seen that.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
Two other times the year that Golden State almost went
to the playoffs unbeaten their first year with Durant, and
believe it or not, the Spurs in ninety nine one
twelve in a row at one point.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That's it.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
You just don't see a run like this, And so
the Knicks are going to eventually lose a game in
the series. I don't think they're going to sweep out
the rest of the season. I still think this series
is going six or seven. But the Knicks have a
lot of guys playing well and a lot of confidence.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
All Right, we leave it there, brother, It should be
a good one game two tomorrow. Thank you, buddy, Thanks
for the insight. Appreciate you. All right, guys, be good, okay,
no doubt.

other side that was across the glass Alex and Brandon, man,
that had nothing but protein.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And look at that.
Speaker 1 (05:22):

traded thought and Alex is like way out on the

I've been in there where they go at it.
Speaker 3 (05:58):

I won't say it on the air.
Speaker 8 (06:38):
I'm Rob.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Caution, hold on now, I gotta do some math and
rip think about this all right.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Now, I gotta try to read your list.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Rob, Let me tune your mic on Magic City Thursday.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Okay, Alex, tell me what he said in my ear?
All right, tell me what he said.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
I'll tell you all right.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And of course on social media, boy, never heard of Elijah? Yes, indeed,
so you said he's coming to Atlanta with you? Yes? Okay,
all right, Rob.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Just so you know, Dan Bayer says he never misses
the show.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yes, I know he never misses the Couple. I get it,
all right.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Name everybody, Yes, everybody is a present and account of
for all right. So last night Game one, and uh,
you know, we watched the first half uh together, yep,
and uh you know, the Spurs got off to a
good start, got up by fourteen seven at the half,
fourteen in the third quarter, Wemby sat down, Knicks go
(07:44):
on eleven oh run before you know what, you got
a ball game, and the Knicks come out on top. Kevin,
what was your takeaway on the nick of Bockey, Rob Rob?
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I watched the game, Like you said, we watched about
the first half together, and then obviously I watched the
second half, uh solo, and I was really dissected. Okay,
a couple of things and we'll get more to the
other hour. My view on the Spurs, let's do it separate, yep.
So but so but that makes me like, okay, what
am I seeing here from them?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Okay? Check.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Then I started looking at the next end of it.
I'm like, okay, what am I seeing?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And a couple of things came to mind, Rob.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Number one, thet that game was eerily similar to what
we saw what the game, one of the calves, and
that the Knicks not quite on point that they're you know,
they're playing well, but they seem to be a little
rusty and then it's like something clicks and they get
it going and they're able to find like the groove
and take off from there. And so I'm watching the
game and I'm figuring out different strategies, I'm looking at
(08:36):
different lineups, and all of a sudden, I start to think, Man,
the Knicks may have the formula for Wemby. Now, Wemby
is a great player, He's gonna have some games, but
they throw something out at him differently than what the
thunder could throw out of him, and what the thunder
couldn't throw out of him, and you thought you could
if you're the thunder saying, hey, we got all. We
(08:57):
got a third team All NBA guy, a first All
defensive guy, and chet Homegum. I call him set because
he ain't got no h in his name, because he
ain't had no heart in Game seven.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
So the difference is the way they.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Can come out with Carl Anthony Towns and actually make
Wenby guard an individual, not guard as he go. He
gets to be a free safety kind of walking around,
run around, block a shot, be a hes second man, defender,
help defender. He has to guard Karl Anthony Towns and
Carlthon Towns was blowing by him off the dribble, Carlthon
Towns was able to get him in a little bit
of foul trouble, get a couple of files on him.
(09:30):
Carl Anthony Towns stretches the floor when the Knicks need
to because he can stay all the way deep for
three and he ain't set. That's right, Set, not Chet.
He'll shoot the three and Winby had to respect that.
And we all know Carlton Towns has a quick release,
so he all of a sudden, I'm looking at this like, man,
this is a huge matchup advantage. Not that he's better
(09:50):
than Wenby, but what he provides for the Knicks versus
what Set couldn't provide for the Thunder. So that's the
thing I'm looking at. You watch also how he's offending Winby.
Wimby was two for twelve when Carl Anthony Towns was
guarding him.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Do I expect that every game?
Speaker 10 (10:05):
No?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
But I have the luxury if I'm the Knicks of
putting him on him, when really their original goal was
to put og on him, who has the best plus
minus of anybody in the entire league of guarding Winby.
Throughout the season, so that actually is the game plan
for the Knicks. But they had advantage with cat and
they rode with it and it worked to the tune
of obviously at ten point victory. So I watched that,
(10:27):
I was like, they have a formula to make this
a difficult series both offensively and defensively for Winby.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
He's gonna have a game or two. He's Wmby if
it goes five to sixty seven.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
But the idea that you know, this is not the
thunder and that he has to guard him, He's not Hartenstein.
I don't really have to guard him. Check is self checked.
All of a sudden, he forgot how to play basketball.
So that's the one main takeaway. And then lastly, of course,
Jalen Brunson is the absolute closer. He is the absolute
just sharp, smells blood. He's coming to take a team
(10:59):
out of this.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The Spurs.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
He didn't shoot great in the first half, but what
I love about him is the relentlessness. A lot of
guys need to learn this. It ain't going I'm getting
the shots I like, but they're not falling. I'm gonna
get this thing going in the second half, and he
did to the tune. Of of course, twenty something points
in the second half, more specifically thirteen in the fourth.
He was cooking, just like he did against the Calves
(11:21):
in that game one when they got rolling. We know
he's their closer, and I love that they have an identity,
Josh Harkins say, man like he said.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
He said, it's like my I'm a servant to this team.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
I take it like my faith. I'm a servant to
my faith. I'm a servant to this team, is what
he said. He can do whatever they need, Bridges can
do whatever they need. Og can do whatever they need.
And then Carldony Towns providing buckets and defense and brunts
and closing it out. They have the formula to be
able to beat the Spurs team. It's gonna be difficult.
I said, it'll take seven. Who knows, could be a
little sooner, but they have the formula to get it done.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Rob I sent it. I sent it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I think Wemby has done a number against the Knicks
in the past. That was one of those games. And
I'll get to the Spurs side. As the Knicks, they
got great. It was they were very fortunate in this
from the standpoint of You're right as far as Brunson.
You know, thirty one point thirty points on thirty one shots,
(12:17):
like not really the most efficient, No, no, no, not efficient
at all, But it doesn't matter if you can get
it at the end.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And I think so.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Also, remember I think you had mentioned it that the
Knicks were off. Obviously they had a sweep, and I
think it caught up with the Spurs, you know what
I mean later on in the game, and I think
I'll give you that. I just think that, you know
what I mean, it caught up with them. They started
missing shots and turn turn the ball over, you know.
(12:46):
And you got to figure out when Wimby's out, even
on a bad night, you got to be able to
maintain not you can't be up thirteen Winby goes out
and then you give up eleven straight points. Like that
defeats the whole purpose of building.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
I have something they're gonna have to figure out, right,
because they did that last series too.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Like you can't he goes to sit.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Out and I get about how good he is, but still,
you know, and I'm not saying you're gonna pitch a shutout.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Or anything, but but there you are.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
But the Knicks do what they've got to do, which
is the whole idea is to be able to steal
a game on the road, put the young team on
on its on its heels. But I've just watched too
much NBA basketball, and one game doesn't determine anything.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
In the NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
We've talked about a million times teams have been up two,
oh you know what I mean, and don't win series.
You say, well, it's hard to win four out of five.
Plenty of teams have won four out of five. Being
down oh two not something that the Spurs want to
get to. But anyway, the Knicks they did what they
needed to do. They they persevered because they at one point,
(13:49):
I'm sure when they were down fourteen and third quarter
you were like, don't look good here, right?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
And the only thing I will say is they they
just have specifically having Brunson where they just they just
need a three minute run and three minute run and
they can get that thing down to you know, five
and be getting into the four.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And Rob I'll say this too.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Me and you talked about the Rob g always kept
posing the question, throwing out the numbers, and we both
kind of agreed that, like, hey, They're a good team,
but you know where the numbers may have them projected
way too great. We both agreed on that, and I
will say maybe we got to put some respect on
their name in that.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I can't help that.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
You know, I didn't have these world beater teams that
I had to smack up, but I did my part
by beating them all by an average of twenty four points.
I've won what is it now, eleven twelve games a row,
twelve games in a row, and I haven't lost in
over forty plus day. I mean, at certain point, it's
like what else can I do? Like I'm showing you, okay,
play at Western Conference team I did.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I beat them by ten on the road, Like what
more do you want from me?
Speaker 6 (14:50):
NBA fans, I think they have the right to question
that at this point, like I've done everything. I didn't
barely beat teams or let lesser teams stick around.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't think it's about I mean, I know you
bigger into that, because to me in the playoffs is
win and move on. Like whether it's big or small,
it's about winning games. And I get it right.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
But I guess what I'm saying. I'm saying I give
you that, but they've beaten like I.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Know team but the game right, But that that's the
argument that those other teams didn't really put up a fight.
And I know they beat Wemby and them Wemby had
a terrible game six for twenty one and the Knicks
one by nine, or you know what, they didn't blow
them out when winby shooting six for twenty one.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
That's the part you look at.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And we'll talk about that an hour or two, But
right now, hour one, where are you on the Knicks?
Impressed what you expected? Stunned the Knicks got? This is
a four game sweep. Give us your thoughts on the
Knicks only what did you get? What did you take

way to their first NBA championship since Morby Dick was

Hey, what's up? Guys?
Speaker 11 (19:38):
The Knicks they haven't played in ten days, and they
looked for Rusty, and they had bad shooting nights and
one by ten.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Do you think Bruns shoot like that again? And Bridges
and Josh Hart and even do you.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Think Wemby's gonna shoot six for twenty one? And Fox
players poorly as he played again?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I think that not wrong.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Men, and the twenty two year old kids, the grown
thirty year old men are gonna body him and bully
him again.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
We'll see, We'll see what kind of whistle will happen, David.
We'll see what happens.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Unless David Robinson and Kink duncan teach him how to
play in the low post overnight, San Antonio's in trouble
because who else they gonna have to score? Unless unless
Dylan comes through and starts lighting it up for a
lot more.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Yeah, I got something to say about that, though, Mitch Johnson.
I'll say that for next hour, Robert, Mitch Johnson, their
coast was tripping a little bit with some I didn't
like something he did for the Spurs.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
We'll talk about that all right. How about Lightning?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Rod in Detroit, you're on the Adahobe carrs is going

Yeah?
Speaker 12 (20:49):
I am from Detroit, but part of my spirit is
a New Yorker and I'm rolling with them all the way.
Damus definitely got the formula. And what I noticed yesterday,
they got a fab five bro. Each one of them
dudes has the potential to be Hall of famers.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Man, No, I think you pumped the brakes on.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Okay, come on, hold on, I know you city I'm
gonna get that hand tie lot break real quick.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Hold on about that, Rob, and I'm gonna challenge you
on that.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Okay, So what you no, no, no, you hit me up?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
No no no, you said hall of famers, all five

going to the Hall of Fame. They're not nothing. No,
come on, they're not even first team. They gotta win first.
Speaker 12 (21:32):

Thank you, buddy, appreciate it eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. It's okay to be a nick guy and
all that. Come on, man, everybody's in the Hall of
Fame now.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
And only the only argument I could that just hit me, Rob,
is me. What do we always say?
Speaker 6 (22:01):
It's the basketball in o NBA And three of them
got college championships. A couple of them got two from Villanova,
So there is an element of that.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Does Cat have one to I think?
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Yeah, you know what they might mess around doing simply
based off college, Rob, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Everybody can't get in and you know a lot of
people win the college shit.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Everybody can't get into the Hall of Fame. David. Oh,
you've got.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
David still right, David and Virginia David. All right, David,
you're on the odd couple of Fox Spirits radio. What's up, David?
Speaker 9 (22:29):
I'm right, shoutout Rob Kelvin Christ, I'm.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Paulind Thank you. I want to know.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
Listen, what do their knicks kind of do?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
What are they got to do?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Don't worry about me. I want you to give your opinion.
Everybody doesn't have to be on board with the Knicks.
This is why when fans do this, What do you
care about what I think? Tell me what you think
about the Knicks and what you saw. If you disagree
with me, because you know why, No, let me say
this to you, because the same thing. No matter where
(23:00):
I worked, I hear the same thing. Oh, why do
you hate the Lions so much? When I said they
didn't make the playoffs? Nobody called in the Pistons. Why
do you hate the Pistons? They won the first two
games against Cleveland? I still picked Cleveland. They didn't win.
Not one fan called in and said, Rob, you know what?
You were right? So I don't understand it. Just say
(23:22):
what you have to say. I don't what are you
pushing back against? What did I say tonight? Because I
picked the wimby?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I don't understand it's the issue.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
What's the issue? I'm asking you, what's the issue? There's
no issue.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
You're a subject matter expert, so.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I want to know what they had to do. What
do they have to do?
Speaker 9 (23:45):
You beat a subject not expert.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Lose the next four games, and then you call me back?
How's that?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I'll tell you why he called how's that? Rock back?
He called you because you said I believe it.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
When the Knicks get in the first quarter of the finals,
you still didn't want to give him the credit.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
That's why he called you, Rob. He's trying to listen
to you, he said, Dang, Rob, they don't who said
you ignite?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
They don't call when I'm right, Alex, if you ever
gotten Rob, they don't, they don't don't do that.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
No, my crow, I had to eat my crow when
the Lions suck and everybody call Rob.
Speaker 3 (24:19):

Speaker 1 (25:11):
How are you? You're breaking news down there in Dallas?
Tell us about it. What's going on with the Mavericks.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Well, they've got one of the three coaching openings, so
they're looking at a lot of people. They just kind
of started their search. They've ramped it up here. They've
got a lot of names. They're looking at anyone specific.
You guys want to talk about.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
How about Michigan's coach? Yeah, what's up with that? You know,
I'm from ann Arboro. I don't like to hear that.
Come on now, No, I just won a national championship.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Why shouldn't he be looking double up get another one?
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Basically, what I reported is, you know they've had some
exploratory talks with Dusty May and John Shier. It's too
soon to say that they're full fledged candidates, but you
know they're looking at every aspect of the coaching business,
coaches within the NBA. I mean the Dusty May talk.
(26:01):
I mean I heard it with Orlando Too earlier this spring.
But again, this is interest. I don't I definitely don't
think John Shire is leaving Dukes. And why would Dusty
May want to leave Michigan, where he just won a
national championship and where he's king unless you look. I
(26:23):
don't know Dusty May. I don't cover the college game, obviously,
Is he does he have strong interest in coming to
the NBA. Is that something that would really tempt him?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You know?
Speaker 9 (26:33):
I think only he knows that. But I think the
Mavericks are They've only had an opening here for a
couple of weeks, and I think they're they're basically they're
still on the mode of checking all the options.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
What was the big point pushing pushing point of getting
Jason Kidd out of there? Is just because you got
a new president and you know team president in general
manager wants to bring his own guy in.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Is that it?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Look?
Speaker 9 (26:56):
It's It is surprising because if you watch it happened
with Messiu Jerry when he took over the Denver Nuggets
and when he took over the Toronto Raptors. I mean
he kept the coaches there in place for a total
of eight seasons between George Carl, all three years that
Massaiu Jerry ran the Nuggets front office, Carl remained as coach.
He kept Dwayne Casey in place for five full years
(27:20):
when he first took over the Raptors. So it is
a little surprising that they've decided to make an immediate change.
But I think also there was around the league skepticism
would there be room for two huge personalities. And the
consistent word from Messiu Jerry since he took over is
(27:43):
they want to clean slate, they want to start completely over.
But my question is the Cooper Flagg who the MAVs.
Of course, they got Cooper Flag via a miracle in
last year's lottery. I mean, it's been a little of
change thrown at this young man since he became a Maverick.
(28:05):
So I mean he's gonna next season Cooper Flag will
have his second NBA coach and if you count the
two interim GMS he had, he's already had. He's on
his fourth GM. It's a lot for the rookie of
the year.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Yeah, let's go to the Game one NBA Finals. Obviously,
Knicks get a big win on the road to start
this thing off.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Just your takeaways.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
I felt like, man, the way they utilized Karl Anthony
Towns on both sides at wemby making him guard and
then also making him with making him two for twelve
on the defensive end, what'd you make of that?
Speaker 9 (28:38):
Yeah, Kats had bigger game statistically, but given the stakes,
I don't know that he's ever played a better game
as well as he played against Victor Wembinyama, who obviously
is you know the Spurs. The Spurs going into Game
one regular season in playoffs, they were thirty nine and
five in the last forty four games that Wenby played
(29:01):
at least twenty minutes. They don't lose very often when
Victor wen Miennyama's out there, and I thought you saw that.
You know that is if Kat could consistently play at
that level there, he would be talked about much differently
because he cannot only shoot it as a big man.
He can really move as a big man. And he
(29:22):
attacked the rim and attacked Victor Wenmenyama in ways that
Let's face it, Oklahoma City did not Chet Holmgren did not.
So now the question will be, if you know, can
Kat stay out of foul trouble and keep doing that.
Victor wen Minyama, historically, when a game doesn't go his way,
he tends to bounce back in a huge way. So
(29:45):
it's not it's gonna surprise no one if he has
a great game and San Antonio wins Game two. But
I mean you have to say, I mean, the Knicks
have not lost a game of any kind to anyone
who's April twenty third and it's June fourth, It's been
a long time since they've lost the game. I mean,
(30:06):
they are a team that is just they have so
much confidence they win into game one of the finals
with eight days off, and you know, Chip the rust
off pretty impressively. So the Spurs have a lot of
work to do. They've got to win game two. I mean,
they've got to even this thing up before it goes
back to New York.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Sure, you don't want to fall into an O two hole,
but the Spurs, for a young team, I've always been
impressed to be able to go into Game seven on
the road beating the defending champs. There's a lot of
stuff I like about this young team. And you're right
about Wemby bouncing back and again defensively, Mark, you know
you've covered this league as long as I have. Uh
(30:46):
you know, Cap might have gotten away with a few calls,
you know what I mean. Or defensively and you know
how it changes. You get two quick files in the
first quarter changes the entire game.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Yeah, I mean, maybe the most important stat for Karl
Anthony he only had four fouls exactly. He could easily
have three early tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
But look, the Knicks.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
The Knicks have been an un They are on an
unbelievable run.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I mean they've won.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Twelve playoff games in a row.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
We've seen that.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
Two other times the year that Golden State almost went
to the playoffs unbeaten their first year with Durant, and
believe it or not, the Spurs in ninety nine one
twelve in a row at one point.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That's it.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
You just don't see a run like this, And so
the Knicks are going to eventually lose a game in
the series. I don't think they're going to sweep out
the rest of the season. I still think this series
is going six or seven. But the Knicks have a
lot of guys playing well and a lot of confidence.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
All Right, we leave it there, brother, It should be
a good one game two tomorrow. Thank you, buddy, Thanks
for the insight. Appreciate you. All right, guys, be good, okay,
