On today’s episode, Jason discusses how Tyrese Maxey may have etched his named alongside Reggie Miller as one of the biggest villains in New York Knicks history, why it’s clear that Joel Embiid just isn’t cut out to be The Guy on a championship-contending team, how an early round postseason flameout might impact Donovan Mitchell’s decision to request a trade out of Cleveland and whether or not the Boston Celtics can overcome the calf injury that is likely to sideline Kristaps Porzingis for several weeks at least. Finally, Jason closes the show with his Best Bets for the Wednesday night NBA Playoffs action.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up, straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight
Fire for Wednesday. May first, totally cal May is in
full swing. This is the beautiful month of college graduation,
although it's a dicey time to talk about that right now,
given all that's going on on these college campuses. May
(00:31):
is always a great weather month and be a playoffs.
You've got Mother's Day weekend, You've got the beginning of
summer unofficially right with Memorial Day weekend. But before we
get to all that, April went out with a bang
in another absolute thriller between the Knicks and the seventy
six Ers. This has been really one of the great
(00:54):
playoff series we've seen in quite some time. It has
to be up there from drama and just dislike between
the two teams and fourth quarter heroics, overtime craziness, folks,
This was one of those games last night. Now listen,
if you listened to the pod yesterday, you heard me.
(01:14):
You know, I think I like Sixers first quarter, I
think I like Knicks first half, Knicks full game, and
you know, seventy six Ers come out strong as you
knew they would off that loss at home. Win the
first quarter, Nick storm back with an eighteen to two run.
Nick Nurse is too cool for school to call time out.
Nicks up at the half. I'm flowing. Your boy is
vibing out. I went to my son's middle school volleyball game.
(01:35):
They trailed for they lost his step for the first
time all season, come back and win. I'm tracking the
next game there was how do I say this delicately
a kid on my son's volleyball team his dad works
with the Lakers in the front office. And my wife's like, hey,
you should ask him about what's going on with the Lakers.
I was like, yeah, right, no shot of that. Anyways,
my son's team pulls out the win, Knicks take the
(01:57):
leaded half. I'm like, this is a day. It's just
what a start. I also told you, guys, Calves will
come out first quarter, Calves take the lee when and
I mean, the Bets are just dominating and I'm just
just so excited. We sit down to eat dinner and
the Knicks are up six with like twenty eight seconds left.
I'm like, lock it up, baby, Nicks are gonna cover.
(02:18):
Nicks are gonna take out and bead. I'm starting to
workshop my ideas for what to say about the sixers
and this collapse, and then Tyrese Maxie happens. And if
you guys remember Reggie Miller going postal late against the
Knicks and throwing up the choke sign to Spike Lee
(02:39):
and the New York Knicks. Basically, Tyrese Maxey did that
and down six with twenty eight seconds left. Somehow, Tyrese
Maxey hits a three and draws the foul from Mitchell Robinson.
They went at Robinson late. It was rough to watch
pick and roll, and Maxie just dominated afterward. In what
(02:59):
is just an awesome quote from Mitchell Robinson cover the
kid's ears. I have to take it like a man.
I fucked up. That's Mitchell Robinson's quote after the foul
on Maxi. So a four point play and you're like,
oh my gosh. The leads cut from six to two,
and Josh Hart, who has had some free throw woes
in the first fourth quarter, clangs the first one, makes
(03:21):
a second and you're like, okay, they're up three. You
know what to do. You got a foul. Now, we
saw this in the NCAA tournament. We've seen this in
NBA playoff games, folks. I don't you know, I coach
my kids in youth sports. We haven't had this come
up a lot, but I am without a doubt foul guy,
(03:41):
please give that. Whether it's youth sports, college, NBA, you
absolutely have to foul before giving him a chance to
make the three. We saw this with Pacers Bucks Chris
Middleton twice twice hit threes when the Pacers could have
foiled twice and you know, listen, as good as Thibodeau's
been in this series, this was a massive break. Tyrae
(04:03):
s Maxey just dribs up the floor like a blur,
pulls up for a logo three bang, and we go
to overtime and it's like Tyras Maxy just scored seven
points in twenty five seconds and the Knicks imploded and
you're like, oh my gosh, the Knicks are dead. It's all,
there's no way. And then they take a five point
lead at the beginning of overtime, like okay, all right, Nick,
and then he would go Tyree s Maxey again and
(04:24):
basically Maxy scored twenty two of his forty six points
in the fourth quarter overtime. He played fifty two minutes.
Guy hit seven threes. What can you say about Tyree
s Maxy. I just hope that he's going to be
able to play in game six Thursday, because I'm seeing
reports that his back is injured from carrying Joel Embiid
(04:48):
in game five, because he totally carried Embaid, who was
a nightmare. Now listen, and Bead fans are coming after
me last night on social media. That's what they do.
You know, when you bang on him on this podcast,
when you bang on him on the herd, when you
bang on I'm on social I'm sorry, guys. I'm not
a huge Embiid fan. He has been a colossal letdown. Yes,
I did pick Ben Simmons. I would build around Ben
Simmons over Embiid. You won't let me live that down. Fine,
(05:10):
when Embid gets to a conference finals, I'll let you
do your victory lap. Put until then, sorry, not happening.
And Joel Embiid was not good in this game. The
counting numbers, Oh, he got a triple double. What are
you talking about? Jay bed at nineteen points, sixteen boards,
ten assists that at triple double he actually dove on
the floor and overtime to secure a ball. Give the
man his flowers. Okay, all right, well that's just guys
(05:32):
who were looking at the box score looking to get
in arguments. Okay, here's the reality. Joel Embid nineteen points
on nineteen shots. Horrible efficiency. He had nine turnovers, should
have been ten. They did not give it to him.
The announcing the announcer I think it was. It wasn't Harlan,
(05:53):
it was Iron Eagle. I Egels said. That's ten turnovers
for Embiid. So basically they passed it to them up
I don't know the logo or near the three point line,
and it just goes off his hand and out of bounce,
and they didn't credit him with that turnover, which would
have been ten for the quadruple double, so he stuck
with nine turnovers. Remember this is the guy who last
year against the Celtics in Game seven just basically totally
soiled his pants. Non factor five of eighteen minus twenty eight,
(06:17):
just did nothing. They got smoked against the Hawks in Philly.
You guys will remember that one the classic Ben Simmons
passes instead of dunking because he didn't want to get fouled.
Embiid in that one. I know, he had thirty one
points and eleven boards. He also had eight turnovers against
the Hawks team that isn't known for defense at all,
and they lose that game. So it's the bottom line. Listen,
(06:39):
you could put up big numbers and torch the Toronto Raptors,
you know, in a two seven series or whatever he
did a couple of years ago. I'm just saying Embiid
was not good in this game. And yes, he's playing injured.
I don't want to hes this. He's playing on one
leg nonsense. And yes I know the bell's palsy. He's
going through some stuff. I should not crush him. But
you and I can agree. Tyrese Maxie is carrying the Sixers.
(07:02):
He was everything for this team. I mean, remember they
went out, got Buddy healed, Buddy Heal, did not even
get off the bench. It is literally the Tyree Maxie Show.
And he was phenomenal. I waited seven minutes to get
to my guy, Jalen Brunson. Listen, good game at a
brutal turnover down to late in the game, finished with
(07:24):
forty and thirty two shots, a couple of big shots.
He got whacked in the face by Embiid. Not his
finest effort, but you know he was. He was picked
up by the kid McBride, who came off the bench,
the WVU kid, really really nice game. Devincenzo weirdly was
passed over for McBride. I guess because the defensive purposes.
(07:47):
Devincenzo struggled from deep one of seven. I like him.
He's a nice player. But just listen to these minute
totals for the Knicks. Josh Hart fifty three minutes, Jalen
Brunson fifty one minutes, ogn and Obi fifty minutes. Now, yes,
MAXI played fifty two. But I don't know who comes
(08:09):
out of this more more hurting the Knicks who choked
it away or the Sixers. I mean, and played forty
eight minutes and now has one day off before he
goes right back at it. I don't know, man, It's
just a bitter pill to swallow. And of course I'm
over here pumping up the Knicks every day, brunching over
embad blah blah blah. You know, And again these are
(08:31):
takes I can back up. I stand by all of it. Well, Jay, Uh,
what happens if the Knicks blow a three one lead,
and I just have one word pain. It won't be
so painful if the Knicks blow a three one lead,
but they've got two more chances to get it right. Okay,
you go to Philly where they've won, and I'm sure
(08:52):
there's gonna be a lot of Knicks fans down there
Thursday night, and then I guess that would make Game
seven on Saturday. They No, they would probably push it
to Sunday. Yeah, they would push Game seven to Sunday,
for sure. I would one would think. I can't imagine
that they play it on Saturday. That would be a
really good game for the league. Nick Sixers from the
(09:15):
Garden Game seven. I as a Knicks fan, I don't
want it to go that far because I would definitely
like them to wrap it up. My concern level. Yeah, listen,
this is a this is a Sixers team that's very
good with Embiid and MAXI, and they did not have
both EMBIID for like over two months. I think, So
you know, all you need is one of these Oh
Tobias Harris hits hits four or five threes, and then
(09:38):
Kelly Ubre hit three or four threes, and all of
a sudden it's like, oh, wait a minute, the Sixers
are gonna win this game, and now you're pushing to
a game seven. You don't want that if you're the Knicks.
I just I don't know the answer. They Thibodaux only
played seven guys. They're gonna be exhausted. And that's why,
you know, obviously I like the Knicks a lot of
rooting for them. They were like, you know, Patrick you
(10:00):
Wing was my favorite player. I grew up in Northern Virginia,
as you guys know, and I still remember, as like
a little kid, the first basketball game I watched was
Patrick Ewing and Georgetown. I was super young, and I
don't really remember. I just remember Patrick Ewing was utterly dominant.
And my buddy who the guy talk about, who played
soccer at Notre Dame, him and his family were big
(10:22):
Georgetown fans and it was just awesome to watch you
Ing and I just instantly was like, oh my gosh,
this guy's freaking dominant, you know. And then he goes
to the Knicks, and of course I was like, oh,
I was born in New York and I'm an Nex fan. Now, yeah,
I love Patrick Ewing. And then of course Magic Johnson,
but like Ewing was my favorite guy. I loved John
Stark's one of the most painful nights as a sports
(10:43):
fan I've ever had. And again, like again, it's pain
is relative, but the John Starks I think it was
two for seventeen performance against the Houston Rockets in the
NBA Finals was just devastating. That was one of I
just remember watching it, and you know, Structure was my guy.
He was bagging groceries and then he's like leading the
(11:05):
leading the Knicks to the NBA Finals, Like that's that's
the stuff dreams are made of. You love that story,
and that night really really hurt. I will I will
admit Game seven Warriors calves. You guys know, I like Lebron,
but I was rooting heavily and financially I was on
the Warriors as well. That that hurt. I'll never forget ever.
The New York Jets Steelers AFC Championship game where the
(11:27):
Jets fall down. I believe it was like twenty four
zero and then they stormed back and end up could
could not get a stop on Ben Roethlisberger. I still
remember just being at my buddy's house in Pennsylvania and
I'm just you know, he had a party and all
these guys are smoking weed and stuff. I may or
may not have been inebriated, and I was just like,
come on, get us stop. And every time it was
(11:48):
just like Ben Roethlisberger makes a play, Ben roethl It's
like three straight third down conversions. I just gutted, you know,
and I just remember, head in hand, and my wife's like,
what's wrong with you? Can we leave? As a sports fan,
you take some of these losses. Obviously, as a coach
of youth sports, those the linger would be way longer
than sports fan losses because I'm invested in the team.
(12:10):
But this one hurt. This next one. They blew the cover.
They blew the series, and they blew the game, and
they blew wrapping up the series. We'll see it's not
totally over.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
The other game that was actually finally interesting. In a
series where the Cabs in Magic have not played any classics,
it's been all dumpster fire action again. Another game Love
Cleveland coming back strong, and they came out strong, but
they could not hold it for whatever reason, and they
could not stop Paolo Bancaro, who looked like a big
time player at thirty nine and eight. A little two
(12:54):
is so heavy for me. But the three was hitting
the MIDI was poppin'. Ben Cao was very good and
nearly toppled the Calves. Cleveland another blown cover. Now the
center Jarrett did not play, and it's weird. For whatever reason,
they decided to go small, and it's like, are we
sure that's a good call, And they had nobody to
(13:17):
really defend Ben Carro And when the magic went with
the Wagner and Wagner, it was just like, oh well
that was kind of big and interesting, and Cleveland got
lucky with the win. I'm just saying nobody cares about
the Caves, but we talk all the time about like
how postseason can shape off season, and obviously the Kevin
Durant situation bears monitoring. I think Philadelphia and Embiid is
(13:42):
certainly worth watching Lakers, clearly, but Cleveland is way underplayed
for starters. If they lose their coach is toast. Nobody
cares about that. Fine they have the situation with Jarrett
and Mobiley the two bigs, it's looking like that just
doesn't work, so you have to move one. As I've
(14:04):
said on this podcast before, I'm not trying to like
break news Mobile Big La guy. He would love, love,
love to be back in LA. Keep an eye on
whether or not MOBILEI wants to stay in Cleveland or
get after his deal, like, hey, you know, let me
get back to LA. And now that that's the rookie deal,
and it's a little pushy and presumptive to think he'd
(14:25):
want to get out, but just no, he's not. He
would love to be in Los Angeles. I'll just I'll
just repeat that. And then there's Donovan Mitchell, who you
know is going to be eligible for the extension. And
if you get bounced in the first round again, it's like,
what are we doing here? And do I want to
(14:46):
go through like another rebuild? And does Donovan Mitchell just
say get me out of here? Now here's the weird part.
Since Orlando shifted Jalen Suggs, the former Gonzaga star, onto Mitchell,
he's kind of been slowed down and on the pivotal possession.
Last night, Darius Garland took the ball, blew right by,
Suggs did a great wrap around, passed Imobili for a dunk,
(15:08):
and it was like, oh, Darius Garland's really People forget
Darius Garland is. He's a nice player. Now he's a
bit of a space cadet in that he doesn't always
show up. But man, you just got to wonder how
they're not better. And I know the easy answers, Well,
they don't have a small forward. It's like Max Struce
and Isaac Ocorro, those are you know, okay wings in
(15:28):
a league where wings are at a premium, they don't
have any. So they've got bigs and they got two
ball centric guards. It's just a weirdly built team, a
lot of talent.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
We thought Minnesota was weirdly built last year when it
looked like the Gobert experiment was a failure, and now
they've figured it out and unlocked something. They also have
a great coach and Chris Finch. Don't know that that's
necessarily anything's been solved for the Cats, and they play
in the East where they should be way better. So
(16:00):
if I'm a Cavs fan, I'm nervous. I don't have
a ton of faith against Boston. That being said, it
sounds like Porzingis has the same injury that was suffered
by Yannis, and Yannis has been out for nearly four weeks.
If you just assume Porzingis is down for four weeks, right,
(16:21):
that puts his return a week before the NBA Finals,
assuming Boston gets there. I still think Boston's clearly the
team to be in the East. They are hot and
cold from three, as we saw with the heat in
Game two, but you're still looking at the best wings
in the in the East with Brown or Tatum. They've
got Derek White, They've got Drew Holliday, Al Horford's a
(16:45):
veteran presence. Like sure, maybe they'll struggle a little bit
against Mobile and inside and Jarrett but Jarreed Allen. But like,
let's also be real, what the hell is the Calv's
gonna do to slow Boston? How are they gonna get
up on him on the perimeter, Like you're gonna have
to match their smallness bench Allen or mobiley And it's like, oh, well,
(17:07):
now we lost our advantage inside and they've got better
Garh wings than we do. Like Drew Holliday goes on
let's say he goes on Mitchell, it's gotta be the
Darius Garland show. Well, news flash, Derek White's a really
really good defensive player. So now the Caps are screwed,
and that to me feels like a Boston for to
one series could be four. Oh, we'll see, maybe four.
I would say four to one, and then you're looking
(17:29):
at well, the Bucks kind of refuse to die. Maybe
they get healthy in time, we'll see, and then the
Knicks are going to be absolutely exhausted. Philadelphia has Embiid like,
how much longer is he going to be held up?
This is Boston's East to win. Guys like there. To me,
there's no scenario where the Celtics don't get out of
the East currently. Now, crazy thing Jason Tatum goes down
(17:51):
or so that's a different story. But from my perceptive perception,
I believe Boston's still the class in the East, and
I just I don't see a scenario where they lose. Officially,
though Porzingis was ruled out several games, that sounds comical
several and listen, injuries have hit the NBA hard right,
(18:14):
So Jared Allen missed the Calves game the center with
a rib injury. Jimmy Butler got hurt in the play in.
You've got Giannis down, You've got Dame Lillard down, you
now have Porzingis down, you have the Calves have officially
ruled Kawhi out for Game five against the Mavericks. Bogdanovich,
one of the mid season pickups for the Knicks, who's
(18:34):
a solid guy off the bench, right he is, he
had foot surgery, he's done. Himei Hakkis, who's been really
a revelation and he has a lot of value, a lot,
I believe if the Heat try to make a move
for kd or whoever. He's been ruled out due to
a hip for Game five tonight against Boston, Like everybody's hurt.
And obviously we've seen this in the NFL where you
(18:58):
get to like week fourteen and you like six backup quarterbacks,
and then by week sixteen, you've got like eight backup
quarterbacks and you're like, what the hell Thursday night game is?
It's the stinks. That's the regular season. Usually the teams
that get to the playoffs don't have backup quarterbacks. Now,
Joe Flacco backup quarterback off the sofa, he was like
their third or fourth string guy comes into their playoff game,
(19:22):
and what happens those two pick sixes and they get
drilled by a billion by the Texans, Like nobody wants
to see that. I'm sorry, but I don't have any
interest in watching Jimmy Butler less jime Hakes list Miami
heat tonight against Boston, Like I'm surprised that's you know,
you can't make this spread twenty but why Miami just
doesn't have bodies. I didn't even include Terry Rozier. Like
(19:44):
it's just extremely bleak. And the injury stink, Like you know,
Ad says he couldn't raise his shoulder, he had no
feeling in his arm, Like that just stinks. I know
that's fluky stuff, and injuries happen and man go down
the year. Every year somebody gets hurt. Chris Paul pulls
the hamstrings after he celebrated against Steph Curry when the
(20:06):
Rockets went up three to two against the KD Steph Warriors.
That would have been one of the bigger upsets ever.
I think that that Warrior seemed incredible, but like it stinks.
Klay Thompson goes down against the Raptors kd pull Achilles
against the Raptors, Like, just so many injuries and it stinks,
But like, what are they gonna do short in the
(20:26):
season of seventy two games? Not doing that? It's just
not fun. I don't know. There is no easy solution. Guy,
injuries happen.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
The only thing better than sitting on your couch watching
the game. He's making money while you do it. Here's
your best bet.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
We head into tonight's games not that appealing to open
the month of May. Boston massive favorites against Miami. You know,
the only way to bet this would just be hope.
You know, Boston comes out and they're not like, oh,
(21:09):
we've got this wrapped up, because you know, three of
their top seven guys are out and they don't take
them lightly, and then Miami's interesting. But I think the
only way to do it is probably Boston first half.
They'll take their foot off the pedal. They don't have Porzingis.
It's probably best to just avoid that game and then
just wait for the Clippers' MAVs Now. The Luca knee
injury is troubling, so remember his defense was much ballyhooed
(21:33):
after Game two. He was something like I think the
Clippers were like something like two for seventeen with Lucas
the primary defender, and I was like, oh, Lucas turned
the corner. And at some point in game three, I
guess he banged knees with someone. I haven't seen the video,
but I read about it. And in game four he
was a turnstile and James Harden went at him repeatedly
and with no rim protection. They didn't have Lively, they
(21:55):
didn't have Gafford on the court. Harden went crazy with
the floater game and it was oh my gosh, two
two series when it should have been three to one
maps after they came back from down thirty one. My
guess is extra day off. Remember they played Sunday and
then you get Monday, Tuesday off, and now you play Wednesday.
I will hope that that extra day is good for Luca.
(22:18):
You do not want to go down three to two
against Paul George and James Harden. Now we know James
Harden has a checkered histories in game six and seven,
but come on, guys, Luca turns of ankles out for
a quarters, so it's over. So they gotta get This
is a massive seismic game. Obviously, you know, I have
a lot of MAVs futures, and I'll feel like a
(22:39):
jackass if the MAVs lose to the Clippers for the
third time. That that being said, remember what I just
said about the Clippers, about how they're off I'm sorry
the Cavs, how they're off season so much is at stake? Well,
what about the MAVs. Last year Kyrie couldn't even get
to the playoffs, right, and this year they losing the
first round as favorites when Kawhi barely plays what And
(23:02):
that's where you get in one of these scenarios where
it's like, huh oh interesting, Maybe there's something there, maybe,
just maybe it's more interesting if the Clippers win and
extinguish the MAVs. I don't know. Kyrie unhappy ask out.
Lucas says, Guys, you try Brunts and you try Porzingis,
you try Kyrie. This doesn't work. I'm out. I don't know.
(23:25):
Nobody knows. That's interesting. I just I want to see
Luke in the playoffs, you know, like I we need
Luka Doncic in the playoffs. That's the bottom line. He's
too good. I don't know that we need hardener PG.
So a quick look at the line for tomorrow, I
am seeing Celtics fourteen and MAVs favored by three.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I did not anticipate that. So the market's telling you
the MAVs are the side right, They're favored on the road.
Luka probable no Kawhi, MAVs play these heart stopping games.
Weird deep, Oh man, it might happen. It might just
be a Mav Celtics money line is not gonna pay
(24:09):
much at all, but I think that's probably your best
bet moneyline parlay mav Celtics. Sorry, and looking ahead to Thursday,
Sixers open is three and a half point favorites. Looking
ahead to Saturday, I guess yeah. Saturday, Denver four point
favorites at home against Minnesota. Interesting because if memory serves,
(24:30):
they were seven point favorites against the Lakers at home
in Game one. They covered. I think they pulled away
late to get the cover. That's saying Minnesota is not
that much better than the Lakers. Huh. Interesting. I'll need
to let that marinate a little bit more. My inclination
(24:52):
is Minnesota is going to be live in the series.
My problem is everybody's saying that, and I know that
more applies to the NFL. But these are the Denver Nuggets. Okay,
we're talking about the defending champs. They I know they
struggled with the Lakers, but that's Lebron and ad Minnesota
has Anthony Edwards and whom. Like. I know, we like Gobert,
(25:16):
we like Kat, but come on, you think Kat's gonna
take it to Aaron Gordon, Michael Port I don't know.
Tell me who. Let's see who. The five best players
in the series are number one, Yokich, number two, Anthony Edwards,
number three, Jamal Murray number four. I think Gobert may
(25:37):
be more valuable than towns because of the rim protection.
I'm just telling you. The Suns missed what felt like
a billion shots at the layup because Gobert altered a lot.
And then his town's better than Michael Porter Junior. I mean,
did you see Michael Porter Junior's numbers against the Lakers.
I mean, this guy who was remember, big time, big
time a high school prospect, has the back surgery, was good,
(25:57):
I think for a year or like half a season
at Missouri, didn't play much, but was good. And then
you know he's taken a little time, but he's now
twenty five years old. Here's here's what he did against
the Lakers. Twenty two and eight, okay, which sounds fine.
But he shot fifty five percent from the field, forty
eight percent from three, and that's on eight three is
(26:18):
a game, and seventy six percent from the line. So
if you remember last year, if you go back to
last year's conference finals, there was some concern that he was,
you know, a bit of a chuck or a bit
of a liability. Last year again, in the sweep against
the Lakers, averaged fifteen and nine, okay, that bumped up
(26:40):
to twenty two and eight. In the finals is where
he struggled. Against the Miami he averaged nine points a game,
shot thirty two percent from the field, fourteen percent from three.
So in the finals, Michael Porter junior struggle. He's a
different guy this year. And when you when you make
him your fourth best player, goodness, gracious, I just don't
know how that you know. I I think I'm probably
(27:03):
rooting Minnesota. I have small Minnesota futures, not a lot,
but yeah, game one, I would probably just go Denver
against the spread. It's Denver. It's game one, don't overthink it.
We can do zigzags here at theory for game two.
Very curious how Anthony Edwards is defended kcp's you know,
(27:24):
not one hundred percent because of the ankle. That Peyton
Watson is interesting, He's a really, really good defender. NBA
playoffs are getting total fire. We'll do more NFL and
who knows what else. But I'm I'm greatly enjoying these playoffs.
Hope you are too, back at it tomorrow. Talk to
you then.
This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up, straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight
Fire for Wednesday. May first, totally cal May is in
full swing. This is the beautiful month of college graduation,
although it's a dicey time to talk about that right now,
given all that's going on on these college campuses. May
(00:31):
is always a great weather month and be a playoffs.
You've got Mother's Day weekend, You've got the beginning of
summer unofficially right with Memorial Day weekend. But before we
get to all that, April went out with a bang
in another absolute thriller between the Knicks and the seventy
six Ers. This has been really one of the great
(00:54):
playoff series we've seen in quite some time. It has
to be up there from drama and just dislike between
the two teams and fourth quarter heroics, overtime craziness, folks,
This was one of those games last night. Now listen,
if you listened to the pod yesterday, you heard me.
(01:14):
You know, I think I like Sixers first quarter, I
think I like Knicks first half, Knicks full game, and
you know, seventy six Ers come out strong as you
knew they would off that loss at home. Win the
first quarter, Nick storm back with an eighteen to two run.
Nick Nurse is too cool for school to call time out.
Nicks up at the half. I'm flowing. Your boy is
vibing out. I went to my son's middle school volleyball game.
(01:35):
They trailed for they lost his step for the first
time all season, come back and win. I'm tracking the
next game there was how do I say this delicately
a kid on my son's volleyball team his dad works
with the Lakers in the front office. And my wife's like, hey,
you should ask him about what's going on with the Lakers.
I was like, yeah, right, no shot of that. Anyways,
my son's team pulls out the win, Knicks take the
(01:57):
leaded half. I'm like, this is a day. It's just
what a start. I also told you, guys, Calves will
come out first quarter, Calves take the lee when and
I mean, the Bets are just dominating and I'm just
just so excited. We sit down to eat dinner and
the Knicks are up six with like twenty eight seconds left.
I'm like, lock it up, baby, Nicks are gonna cover.
(02:18):
Nicks are gonna take out and bead. I'm starting to
workshop my ideas for what to say about the sixers
and this collapse, and then Tyrese Maxie happens. And if
you guys remember Reggie Miller going postal late against the
Knicks and throwing up the choke sign to Spike Lee
(02:39):
and the New York Knicks. Basically, Tyrese Maxey did that
and down six with twenty eight seconds left. Somehow, Tyrese
Maxey hits a three and draws the foul from Mitchell Robinson.
They went at Robinson late. It was rough to watch
pick and roll, and Maxie just dominated afterward. In what
(02:59):
is just an awesome quote from Mitchell Robinson cover the
kid's ears. I have to take it like a man.
I fucked up. That's Mitchell Robinson's quote after the foul
on Maxi. So a four point play and you're like,
oh my gosh. The leads cut from six to two,
and Josh Hart, who has had some free throw woes
in the first fourth quarter, clangs the first one, makes
(03:21):
a second and you're like, okay, they're up three. You
know what to do. You got a foul. Now, we
saw this in the NCAA tournament. We've seen this in
NBA playoff games, folks. I don't you know, I coach
my kids in youth sports. We haven't had this come
up a lot, but I am without a doubt foul guy,
(03:41):
please give that. Whether it's youth sports, college, NBA, you
absolutely have to foul before giving him a chance to
make the three. We saw this with Pacers Bucks Chris
Middleton twice twice hit threes when the Pacers could have
foiled twice and you know, listen, as good as Thibodeau's
been in this series, this was a massive break. Tyrae
(04:03):
s Maxey just dribs up the floor like a blur,
pulls up for a logo three bang, and we go
to overtime and it's like Tyras Maxy just scored seven
points in twenty five seconds and the Knicks imploded and
you're like, oh my gosh, the Knicks are dead. It's all,
there's no way. And then they take a five point
lead at the beginning of overtime, like okay, all right, Nick,
and then he would go Tyree s Maxey again and
(04:24):
basically Maxy scored twenty two of his forty six points
in the fourth quarter overtime. He played fifty two minutes.
Guy hit seven threes. What can you say about Tyree
s Maxy. I just hope that he's going to be
able to play in game six Thursday, because I'm seeing
reports that his back is injured from carrying Joel Embiid
(04:48):
in game five, because he totally carried Embaid, who was
a nightmare. Now listen, and Bead fans are coming after
me last night on social media. That's what they do.
You know, when you bang on him on this podcast,
when you bang on him on the herd, when you
bang on I'm on social I'm sorry, guys. I'm not
a huge Embiid fan. He has been a colossal letdown. Yes,
I did pick Ben Simmons. I would build around Ben
Simmons over Embiid. You won't let me live that down. Fine,
(05:10):
when Embid gets to a conference finals, I'll let you
do your victory lap. Put until then, sorry, not happening.
And Joel Embiid was not good in this game. The
counting numbers, Oh, he got a triple double. What are
you talking about? Jay bed at nineteen points, sixteen boards,
ten assists that at triple double he actually dove on
the floor and overtime to secure a ball. Give the
man his flowers. Okay, all right, well that's just guys
(05:32):
who were looking at the box score looking to get
in arguments. Okay, here's the reality. Joel Embid nineteen points
on nineteen shots. Horrible efficiency. He had nine turnovers, should
have been ten. They did not give it to him.
The announcing the announcer I think it was. It wasn't Harlan,
(05:53):
it was Iron Eagle. I Egels said. That's ten turnovers
for Embiid. So basically they passed it to them up
I don't know the logo or near the three point line,
and it just goes off his hand and out of bounce,
and they didn't credit him with that turnover, which would
have been ten for the quadruple double, so he stuck
with nine turnovers. Remember this is the guy who last
year against the Celtics in Game seven just basically totally
soiled his pants. Non factor five of eighteen minus twenty eight,
(06:17):
just did nothing. They got smoked against the Hawks in Philly.
You guys will remember that one the classic Ben Simmons
passes instead of dunking because he didn't want to get fouled.
Embiid in that one. I know, he had thirty one
points and eleven boards. He also had eight turnovers against
the Hawks team that isn't known for defense at all,
and they lose that game. So it's the bottom line. Listen,
(06:39):
you could put up big numbers and torch the Toronto Raptors,
you know, in a two seven series or whatever he
did a couple of years ago. I'm just saying Embiid
was not good in this game. And yes, he's playing injured.
I don't want to hes this. He's playing on one
leg nonsense. And yes I know the bell's palsy. He's
going through some stuff. I should not crush him. But
you and I can agree. Tyrese Maxie is carrying the Sixers.
(07:02):
He was everything for this team. I mean, remember they
went out, got Buddy healed, Buddy Heal, did not even
get off the bench. It is literally the Tyree Maxie Show.
And he was phenomenal. I waited seven minutes to get
to my guy, Jalen Brunson. Listen, good game at a
brutal turnover down to late in the game, finished with
(07:24):
forty and thirty two shots, a couple of big shots.
He got whacked in the face by Embiid. Not his
finest effort, but you know he was. He was picked
up by the kid McBride, who came off the bench,
the WVU kid, really really nice game. Devincenzo weirdly was
passed over for McBride. I guess because the defensive purposes.
(07:47):
Devincenzo struggled from deep one of seven. I like him.
He's a nice player. But just listen to these minute
totals for the Knicks. Josh Hart fifty three minutes, Jalen
Brunson fifty one minutes, ogn and Obi fifty minutes. Now, yes,
MAXI played fifty two. But I don't know who comes
(08:09):
out of this more more hurting the Knicks who choked
it away or the Sixers. I mean, and played forty
eight minutes and now has one day off before he
goes right back at it. I don't know, man, It's
just a bitter pill to swallow. And of course I'm
over here pumping up the Knicks every day, brunching over
embad blah blah blah. You know, And again these are
(08:31):
takes I can back up. I stand by all of it. Well, Jay, Uh,
what happens if the Knicks blow a three one lead,
and I just have one word pain. It won't be
so painful if the Knicks blow a three one lead,
but they've got two more chances to get it right. Okay,
you go to Philly where they've won, and I'm sure
(08:52):
there's gonna be a lot of Knicks fans down there
Thursday night, and then I guess that would make Game
seven on Saturday. They No, they would probably push it
to Sunday. Yeah, they would push Game seven to Sunday,
for sure. I would one would think. I can't imagine
that they play it on Saturday. That would be a
really good game for the league. Nick Sixers from the
(09:15):
Garden Game seven. I as a Knicks fan, I don't
want it to go that far because I would definitely
like them to wrap it up. My concern level. Yeah, listen,
this is a this is a Sixers team that's very
good with Embiid and MAXI, and they did not have
both EMBIID for like over two months. I think, So
you know, all you need is one of these Oh
Tobias Harris hits hits four or five threes, and then
(09:38):
Kelly Ubre hit three or four threes, and all of
a sudden it's like, oh, wait a minute, the Sixers
are gonna win this game, and now you're pushing to
a game seven. You don't want that if you're the Knicks.
I just I don't know the answer. They Thibodaux only
played seven guys. They're gonna be exhausted. And that's why,
you know, obviously I like the Knicks a lot of
rooting for them. They were like, you know, Patrick you
(10:00):
Wing was my favorite player. I grew up in Northern Virginia,
as you guys know, and I still remember, as like
a little kid, the first basketball game I watched was
Patrick Ewing and Georgetown. I was super young, and I
don't really remember. I just remember Patrick Ewing was utterly dominant.
And my buddy who the guy talk about, who played
soccer at Notre Dame, him and his family were big
(10:22):
Georgetown fans and it was just awesome to watch you
Ing and I just instantly was like, oh my gosh,
this guy's freaking dominant, you know. And then he goes
to the Knicks, and of course I was like, oh,
I was born in New York and I'm an Nex fan. Now, yeah,
I love Patrick Ewing. And then of course Magic Johnson,
but like Ewing was my favorite guy. I loved John
Stark's one of the most painful nights as a sports
(10:43):
fan I've ever had. And again, like again, it's pain
is relative, but the John Starks I think it was
two for seventeen performance against the Houston Rockets in the
NBA Finals was just devastating. That was one of I
just remember watching it, and you know, Structure was my guy.
He was bagging groceries and then he's like leading the
(11:05):
leading the Knicks to the NBA Finals, Like that's that's
the stuff dreams are made of. You love that story,
and that night really really hurt. I will I will
admit Game seven Warriors calves. You guys know, I like Lebron,
but I was rooting heavily and financially I was on
the Warriors as well. That that hurt. I'll never forget ever.
The New York Jets Steelers AFC Championship game where the
(11:27):
Jets fall down. I believe it was like twenty four
zero and then they stormed back and end up could
could not get a stop on Ben Roethlisberger. I still
remember just being at my buddy's house in Pennsylvania and
I'm just you know, he had a party and all
these guys are smoking weed and stuff. I may or
may not have been inebriated, and I was just like,
come on, get us stop. And every time it was
(11:48):
just like Ben Roethlisberger makes a play, Ben roethl It's
like three straight third down conversions. I just gutted, you know,
and I just remember, head in hand, and my wife's like,
what's wrong with you? Can we leave? As a sports fan,
you take some of these losses. Obviously, as a coach
of youth sports, those the linger would be way longer
than sports fan losses because I'm invested in the team.
(12:10):
But this one hurt. This next one. They blew the cover.
They blew the series, and they blew the game, and
they blew wrapping up the series. We'll see it's not
totally over.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
The other game that was actually finally interesting. In a
series where the Cabs in Magic have not played any classics,
it's been all dumpster fire action again. Another game Love
Cleveland coming back strong, and they came out strong, but
they could not hold it for whatever reason, and they
could not stop Paolo Bancaro, who looked like a big
time player at thirty nine and eight. A little two
(12:54):
is so heavy for me. But the three was hitting
the MIDI was poppin'. Ben Cao was very good and
nearly toppled the Calves. Cleveland another blown cover. Now the
center Jarrett did not play, and it's weird. For whatever reason,
they decided to go small, and it's like, are we
sure that's a good call, And they had nobody to
(13:17):
really defend Ben Carro And when the magic went with
the Wagner and Wagner, it was just like, oh well
that was kind of big and interesting, and Cleveland got
lucky with the win. I'm just saying nobody cares about
the Caves, but we talk all the time about like
how postseason can shape off season, and obviously the Kevin
Durant situation bears monitoring. I think Philadelphia and Embiid is
(13:42):
certainly worth watching Lakers, clearly, but Cleveland is way underplayed
for starters. If they lose their coach is toast. Nobody
cares about that. Fine they have the situation with Jarrett
and Mobiley the two bigs, it's looking like that just
doesn't work, so you have to move one. As I've
(14:04):
said on this podcast before, I'm not trying to like
break news Mobile Big La guy. He would love, love,
love to be back in LA. Keep an eye on
whether or not MOBILEI wants to stay in Cleveland or
get after his deal, like, hey, you know, let me
get back to LA. And now that that's the rookie deal,
and it's a little pushy and presumptive to think he'd
(14:25):
want to get out, but just no, he's not. He
would love to be in Los Angeles. I'll just I'll
just repeat that. And then there's Donovan Mitchell, who you
know is going to be eligible for the extension. And
if you get bounced in the first round again, it's like,
what are we doing here? And do I want to
(14:46):
go through like another rebuild? And does Donovan Mitchell just
say get me out of here? Now here's the weird part.
Since Orlando shifted Jalen Suggs, the former Gonzaga star, onto Mitchell,
he's kind of been slowed down and on the pivotal possession.
Last night, Darius Garland took the ball, blew right by,
Suggs did a great wrap around, passed Imobili for a dunk,
(15:08):
and it was like, oh, Darius Garland's really People forget
Darius Garland is. He's a nice player. Now he's a
bit of a space cadet in that he doesn't always
show up. But man, you just got to wonder how
they're not better. And I know the easy answers, Well,
they don't have a small forward. It's like Max Struce
and Isaac Ocorro, those are you know, okay wings in
(15:28):
a league where wings are at a premium, they don't
have any. So they've got bigs and they got two
ball centric guards. It's just a weirdly built team, a
lot of talent.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
We thought Minnesota was weirdly built last year when it
looked like the Gobert experiment was a failure, and now
they've figured it out and unlocked something. They also have
a great coach and Chris Finch. Don't know that that's
necessarily anything's been solved for the Cats, and they play
in the East where they should be way better. So
(16:00):
if I'm a Cavs fan, I'm nervous. I don't have
a ton of faith against Boston. That being said, it
sounds like Porzingis has the same injury that was suffered
by Yannis, and Yannis has been out for nearly four weeks.
If you just assume Porzingis is down for four weeks, right,
(16:21):
that puts his return a week before the NBA Finals,
assuming Boston gets there. I still think Boston's clearly the
team to be in the East. They are hot and
cold from three, as we saw with the heat in
Game two, but you're still looking at the best wings
in the in the East with Brown or Tatum. They've
got Derek White, They've got Drew Holliday, Al Horford's a
(16:45):
veteran presence. Like sure, maybe they'll struggle a little bit
against Mobile and inside and Jarrett but Jarreed Allen. But like,
let's also be real, what the hell is the Calv's
gonna do to slow Boston? How are they gonna get
up on him on the perimeter, Like you're gonna have
to match their smallness bench Allen or mobiley And it's like, oh, well,
(17:07):
now we lost our advantage inside and they've got better
Garh wings than we do. Like Drew Holliday goes on
let's say he goes on Mitchell, it's gotta be the
Darius Garland show. Well, news flash, Derek White's a really
really good defensive player. So now the Caps are screwed,
and that to me feels like a Boston for to
one series could be four. Oh, we'll see, maybe four.
I would say four to one, and then you're looking
(17:29):
at well, the Bucks kind of refuse to die. Maybe
they get healthy in time, we'll see, and then the
Knicks are going to be absolutely exhausted. Philadelphia has Embiid like,
how much longer is he going to be held up?
This is Boston's East to win. Guys like there. To me,
there's no scenario where the Celtics don't get out of
the East currently. Now, crazy thing Jason Tatum goes down
(17:51):
or so that's a different story. But from my perceptive perception,
I believe Boston's still the class in the East, and
I just I don't see a scenario where they lose. Officially,
though Porzingis was ruled out several games, that sounds comical
several and listen, injuries have hit the NBA hard right,
(18:14):
So Jared Allen missed the Calves game the center with
a rib injury. Jimmy Butler got hurt in the play in.
You've got Giannis down, You've got Dame Lillard down, you
now have Porzingis down, you have the Calves have officially
ruled Kawhi out for Game five against the Mavericks. Bogdanovich,
one of the mid season pickups for the Knicks, who's
(18:34):
a solid guy off the bench, right he is, he
had foot surgery, he's done. Himei Hakkis, who's been really
a revelation and he has a lot of value, a lot,
I believe if the Heat try to make a move
for kd or whoever. He's been ruled out due to
a hip for Game five tonight against Boston, Like everybody's hurt.
And obviously we've seen this in the NFL where you
(18:58):
get to like week fourteen and you like six backup quarterbacks,
and then by week sixteen, you've got like eight backup
quarterbacks and you're like, what the hell Thursday night game is?
It's the stinks. That's the regular season. Usually the teams
that get to the playoffs don't have backup quarterbacks. Now,
Joe Flacco backup quarterback off the sofa, he was like
their third or fourth string guy comes into their playoff game,
(19:22):
and what happens those two pick sixes and they get
drilled by a billion by the Texans, Like nobody wants
to see that. I'm sorry, but I don't have any
interest in watching Jimmy Butler less jime Hakes list Miami
heat tonight against Boston, Like I'm surprised that's you know,
you can't make this spread twenty but why Miami just
doesn't have bodies. I didn't even include Terry Rozier. Like
(19:44):
it's just extremely bleak. And the injury stink, Like you know,
Ad says he couldn't raise his shoulder, he had no
feeling in his arm, Like that just stinks. I know
that's fluky stuff, and injuries happen and man go down
the year. Every year somebody gets hurt. Chris Paul pulls
the hamstrings after he celebrated against Steph Curry when the
(20:06):
Rockets went up three to two against the KD Steph Warriors.
That would have been one of the bigger upsets ever.
I think that that Warrior seemed incredible, but like it stinks.
Klay Thompson goes down against the Raptors kd pull Achilles
against the Raptors, Like, just so many injuries and it stinks,
But like, what are they gonna do short in the
(20:26):
season of seventy two games? Not doing that? It's just
not fun. I don't know. There is no easy solution. Guy,
injuries happen.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
The only thing better than sitting on your couch watching
the game. He's making money while you do it. Here's
your best bet.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
We head into tonight's games not that appealing to open
the month of May. Boston massive favorites against Miami. You know,
the only way to bet this would just be hope.
You know, Boston comes out and they're not like, oh,
(21:09):
we've got this wrapped up, because you know, three of
their top seven guys are out and they don't take
them lightly, and then Miami's interesting. But I think the
only way to do it is probably Boston first half.
They'll take their foot off the pedal. They don't have Porzingis.
It's probably best to just avoid that game and then
just wait for the Clippers' MAVs Now. The Luca knee
injury is troubling, so remember his defense was much ballyhooed
(21:33):
after Game two. He was something like I think the
Clippers were like something like two for seventeen with Lucas
the primary defender, and I was like, oh, Lucas turned
the corner. And at some point in game three, I
guess he banged knees with someone. I haven't seen the video,
but I read about it. And in game four he
was a turnstile and James Harden went at him repeatedly
and with no rim protection. They didn't have Lively, they
(21:55):
didn't have Gafford on the court. Harden went crazy with
the floater game and it was oh my gosh, two
two series when it should have been three to one
maps after they came back from down thirty one. My
guess is extra day off. Remember they played Sunday and
then you get Monday, Tuesday off, and now you play Wednesday.
I will hope that that extra day is good for Luca.
(22:18):
You do not want to go down three to two
against Paul George and James Harden. Now we know James
Harden has a checkered histories in game six and seven,
but come on, guys, Luca turns of ankles out for
a quarters, so it's over. So they gotta get This
is a massive seismic game. Obviously, you know, I have
a lot of MAVs futures, and I'll feel like a
(22:39):
jackass if the MAVs lose to the Clippers for the
third time. That that being said, remember what I just
said about the Clippers, about how they're off I'm sorry
the Cavs, how they're off season so much is at stake? Well,
what about the MAVs. Last year Kyrie couldn't even get
to the playoffs, right, and this year they losing the
first round as favorites when Kawhi barely plays what And
(23:02):
that's where you get in one of these scenarios where
it's like, huh oh interesting, Maybe there's something there, maybe,
just maybe it's more interesting if the Clippers win and
extinguish the MAVs. I don't know. Kyrie unhappy ask out.
Lucas says, Guys, you try Brunts and you try Porzingis,
you try Kyrie. This doesn't work. I'm out. I don't know.
(23:25):
Nobody knows. That's interesting. I just I want to see
Luke in the playoffs, you know, like I we need
Luka Doncic in the playoffs. That's the bottom line. He's
too good. I don't know that we need hardener PG.
So a quick look at the line for tomorrow, I
am seeing Celtics fourteen and MAVs favored by three.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I did not anticipate that. So the market's telling you
the MAVs are the side right, They're favored on the road.
Luka probable no Kawhi, MAVs play these heart stopping games.
Weird deep, Oh man, it might happen. It might just
be a Mav Celtics money line is not gonna pay
(24:09):
much at all, but I think that's probably your best
bet moneyline parlay mav Celtics. Sorry, and looking ahead to Thursday,
Sixers open is three and a half point favorites. Looking
ahead to Saturday, I guess yeah. Saturday, Denver four point
favorites at home against Minnesota. Interesting because if memory serves,
(24:30):
they were seven point favorites against the Lakers at home
in Game one. They covered. I think they pulled away
late to get the cover. That's saying Minnesota is not
that much better than the Lakers. Huh. Interesting. I'll need
to let that marinate a little bit more. My inclination
(24:52):
is Minnesota is going to be live in the series.
My problem is everybody's saying that, and I know that
more applies to the NFL. But these are the Denver Nuggets. Okay,
we're talking about the defending champs. They I know they
struggled with the Lakers, but that's Lebron and ad Minnesota
has Anthony Edwards and whom. Like. I know, we like Gobert,
(25:16):
we like Kat, but come on, you think Kat's gonna
take it to Aaron Gordon, Michael Port I don't know.
Tell me who. Let's see who. The five best players
in the series are number one, Yokich, number two, Anthony Edwards,
number three, Jamal Murray number four. I think Gobert may
(25:37):
be more valuable than towns because of the rim protection.
I'm just telling you. The Suns missed what felt like
a billion shots at the layup because Gobert altered a lot.
And then his town's better than Michael Porter Junior. I mean,
did you see Michael Porter Junior's numbers against the Lakers.
I mean, this guy who was remember, big time, big
time a high school prospect, has the back surgery, was good,
(25:57):
I think for a year or like half a season
at Missouri, didn't play much, but was good. And then
you know he's taken a little time, but he's now
twenty five years old. Here's here's what he did against
the Lakers. Twenty two and eight, okay, which sounds fine.
But he shot fifty five percent from the field, forty
eight percent from three, and that's on eight three is
(26:18):
a game, and seventy six percent from the line. So
if you remember last year, if you go back to
last year's conference finals, there was some concern that he was,
you know, a bit of a chuck or a bit
of a liability. Last year again, in the sweep against
the Lakers, averaged fifteen and nine, okay, that bumped up
(26:40):
to twenty two and eight. In the finals is where
he struggled. Against the Miami he averaged nine points a game,
shot thirty two percent from the field, fourteen percent from three.
So in the finals, Michael Porter junior struggle. He's a
different guy this year. And when you when you make
him your fourth best player, goodness, gracious, I just don't
know how that you know. I I think I'm probably
(27:03):
rooting Minnesota. I have small Minnesota futures, not a lot,
but yeah, game one, I would probably just go Denver
against the spread. It's Denver. It's game one, don't overthink it.
We can do zigzags here at theory for game two.
Very curious how Anthony Edwards is defended kcp's you know,
(27:24):
not one hundred percent because of the ankle. That Peyton
Watson is interesting, He's a really, really good defender. NBA
playoffs are getting total fire. We'll do more NFL and
who knows what else. But I'm I'm greatly enjoying these playoffs.
Hope you are too, back at it tomorrow. Talk to
you then.
