(00:54):
The way tire buying should be The Knicks on a
twenty one seven run the last six minutes up by eight,
with twenty seconds.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Left to go.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Let me just borrow from the great justin Frostburg. The
Knicker back, the Knicker back, They're back. It doesn't matter.
Nothing else matters because the knickser back. The Knicks are back.
It was so bad. I was so nervous, I was
so worried. I was a wreck all day, and now
the knickser back. They're back, my carpet, they're back.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Still hasn't caught up to what actually transpired in the game.
Sack now back with three zero six remaining of fraudulent
twenty four second violation was called on the heat, negating
what was then a lay in that would have made
it a one point game. Instead, Brunson comes back, makes
a floating jump shot. Now he got a five point game.
(01:45):
It's a huge swing. Bad officiating, terrible officiating, home cooking
in front of every celebrity that possibly could have shown
up and gotten a ticket. How many guys did they
give tickets to tonight? Good lord, everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
They gave everybody tickets for everybody begging to show up
for this one, tickets for everyone, tickets for everyone.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Okay, First of all, yes, I'm sorry this game did
not turn on one twenty four second call with three
and a half minutes left to go.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Sorry, hate, Hey, it matters, didn't happen. That didn't happen.
That's quite It's a three point game that's now in
one point game if they get that lay in, okay,
or does it go differently, orders the game go different.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's one play with four minutes left to go. It's
not the end all be all of the game. The
bigger deal is Julius Randall bleeping turning the ball over
on the inbounds and Duncan Robinson hitting a three to
cut this lead to three now with twenty two seconds
left to go. That's the bigger deal. You could have
your Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Know what if they had those other two points?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh yeah, if they had these other two points, if somehow,
yes law, if somehow the heat had more points than
the next, they'd be winning.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yes, I agree with you. There, I agree with you.
By the way. The general rule of all of this, though,
still comes back to Caliperry. The last useful thing he
gave anyone, as much he wants to talk about the
contracts that players have gotten into the NBA is succeed
and proceed. That's it. That's all you need. You can
only beat who's on the court. So you're entering how
(03:13):
many guys are out Tyler Hero and and there's Jimmy Buckets,
and over there is Oladipo. Didn't matter, you know who's
out there, and Vincent has been fantastic. I go wanted
to sing starry, Starry Night for him with some of
the rain, rain drops and beautiful starry shots he's been
putting up in front of the luminaries at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
But look, but that's the way it goes is there
is a game every night, and somebody is hurt, and
a star is hurt every single night and goes and
exactly what what is.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It when a bell rings and angel gets its wings?
Every time the bell rings and Angel gets his wings. Yeah,
I mean that's really I mean, it's everybody is hurt.
I'm not saying.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Look when I talked about the Nick's not having Julius
Randall and Jalen Brunson, I'm not saying it is an excuse,
like all, look they didn't have them. This is just
how it goes now in the NBA. Everybody gets hurt.
There are stars who are hurt all the time. It's
just the way the playoffs go. Because it's Giannis or
it's Kawhi, or it's Randall or it's brother. Guys get
(04:19):
hurt all the time. Now that's the new norm of
the NBA playoffs. Stars get hurt, Guys get hurt. It's
how it goes.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm more just ah, man, it hit us right like,
you know, trying to avoid it. I'm trying to avoid
I don't want I don't want the injury bugged in is.
I don't want it. I'm trying to duck it as
it sliding around and swooping around like a big game
of tether ball.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'm trying to miss that, bob oh, that hits us.
But that's just the way it is now. So yeah, no,
you can't hear her. Give me well, if this guy
played it, Guys miss all the time now, it's it's
it's part of a given of the NBA playoffs. Yeah,
Jimmy Butler's hurt. You know why because stars get hurt.
Stars get hurt all the time. Out That's just how
it goes.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But at the end the end of the day, at
the end of the day, see I'm stealing from our
gat the end of the day, at the end of
the day, whoever shows up on the court, it's an
opportunity for greatness. And tonight people got introduced to a
number of undrafted players playing big minutes for the Miami
Heat and putting up big time performances. Just one shot
(05:15):
after the next seven of seventeen from the field twenty
one points, uh for a guy named Gabe Vincent, and
everybody said, who began, Barbara Baby, Yeah, you gotta get
to play.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Uh So, right now, the Knicks get fouled somehow, the
heat let ten seconds get off the clock before Josh
Hart is fouled. He makes both free throws. The Knicks
are the one ten to one oh five lead. Now
with the ball and four seconds left, a desperation three
from Miami clangs off the back of the rim. Four
seconds left. The Knicks up five. The Knicks are back.
(05:49):
I said it a couple of minutes ago. The Knicks
are back. They just bam. They just showed Aaron Rodgers
next to Sauce Gardner and the Knicks are back, and
Aaron Rodgers and Madison Square Gardens, Oh greater things.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Right now, it doesn't get any better than this. The
Knicks are winning in the second.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Round of the playoffs, and Aaron Rodgers, Jets quarterback, is
at the game.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It is so awesome. I can't even tell you I
was gonna say, because if they lost this one, the
Jets were gonna ban him from all the games. Oh well,
if they lost that, knowing that they every time he
shows up they lose, They're not even gonna bother. It's
the Zack attack for you there. You know what I
do want to celebrate because we are broadcasting live from
the Tirak dot Com studios, which means the sound on
(06:31):
our television is done. But that long little love fest
that they didn't they no doubt had at the announcers
table when they showed Carmelo, Anthony and the crowd, that
really did the body good I've had. You know, I
can't say what I want to say in terms of
everywhere I turn I see Aaron Rodgers face. No you
could say it. No, No, I can't say it. It's
(06:52):
no go ahead. I think it's borderline non FCC complaint.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Just say if the Knicks are back, the knickser back,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
You have barely battery here. We talked about it last night.
The expectation was that unless suddenly there was a miracle,
you know, extra extra read all about it, stealing straight
from the Who's Tommy, and all of a sudden, Jimmy
Butler's run around the beach shirt listen doing cartwheels like
Roger Daltrey was saying, Hey, you know I'm back. No,
he wasn't gonna play and get ready take the extra
(07:23):
three days for Game three. So Nicks hold serve probably
more of a scare than anybody in the garden really
wanted to believe. A no pregame, I want to talk
about the number of heat fans that were in the building,
only again to be out numbered by the number of
celebrities that had a night off. So congratulations, big effort
from Brunson, came up big late. It was good to
(07:46):
see some other players in your offense because I tweeted
with about eight minutes left in the third quarter that
everybody not named Randall, Brunson, and Barrett and combined for
nine points nine. No, not a lot at the finished
They finished as a crew with thirty two mm fourteen
(08:06):
from Josh Art. He must have heard the wake up
call fourteen eleven and nine.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That three that he hit with a minute and a
half left to go to give him make it a
five point lead. I'll tell you, John, what an un
Maybe the greatest deadline acquisition in the history of sports,
Josh Art, maybe the greatest ever. Wow, maybe look at you, uh.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Jason, you do realize once the Lakers tip the next
all matter.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Right, Frostburg, they're not tipped yet. The Knicks are back.
They're not tipped, and the Knicks are back. The game
is over. The Knicks are back. They're back, They're back.
One eleven, one oh five. Look at Tom Tibbau.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
He's so happy the next minutes.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's maybe the one thing that did make me laugh
over the in the course of the game, back when
audio was available, you know, pre show, uh was there
was an R. J. Barrett turnover where the ball just
went through his hands bounds and they couldn't find Thibodeau's
reaction fast and you do the lip reading again. Not
(09:03):
save for radio. No, no, not at all. But he
went from having a pretty calm demeanor the last time
they looked at him, to where you would have thought
he was anger, as voiced by Lewis Black in the
classic Pixar film Inside Out. But his stack had exploded,
maybe hades. Not that we should bring up James Woods
with great regularity, but again, a great character.

Yeah, you've heard. Take by line, you jerk, because the
line is the Knicks are back. You know, the Knicks
in their back. That's the line. He laid it up
thinking you were gonna give the give and go for
the dunk Shrosburg and you said you tomb in. Of
course I did wave your fingers. No, Frostburg. Frostburg's allan iverson.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That ball goes in, I'm not That ball's not coming
back out, man, it's going up for a shot. You
got one minute left of the man, enjoy It doesn't matter, hey, listen, just.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
You know, just like a public service announcement.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Here, clearly, I know that we selected and elected the
MVP today Joel Embiid, which we'll get to it, but
uh Jalen Brunson thirty points six out of ten from
three point range. He is a franchise player. He is
a franchise play. Julius Randall was great. I told you
he had to come back for the Knicks to win.
Why because it's a matchup nightmare.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
They didn't have Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Stuff doesn't matter. Stuff you can't say that. You can't.
I just said you.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Jimmy Butler plays the next lose by twenty.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
No, it doesn't matter. No, Jimmy Butler was out and
the Heat lost because the Knicks are it's science. What's
going on? It's not so what do you know about science?
What's the last time you took a science?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I know that if Jimmy Butler plays that game, my
the Heat win the legend.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That's not a sign Jimmy buckets.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I mean it's kind of science that.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
None of that is science. It is foul.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
That's math if it's anything. And okay, A, it's math.
B it's not fact. And see it's not science. You
know what, it's scientience.

the Lakers in the war Everything in the world ceases
to matter right now, everything ceases to matter. It's the
Lakers and the Warriors. It's Lebron and the powder and
everything else Lakers Warriors.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Here we go. Which is worse the powder nonsense or
Steph Curry chewing his mouthpiece Right now, they're doing both
of them on my screen, and I want to put
you both in the face. Hey, you know what, that's
as viable the pole question as any other damn thing
someone's gonna ask. No.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
See, the thing is I like the powder. I don't
like the chewing of the mouthpiece. I hate the chewing him,
but I love the powder. I love these doing it.
I just love I just love the powder. And he
does it everywhere. You know, I would say this. The
one time I did like it was when he subbed
back in after he was hurt. Yeah, and his first
came back. He came in as a sub and he
didn't doing the powder on the road. Ah, that's all awesome.

We hit you over the head with ugly k give
some we hit you over the head with that. But
you know what, It's okay because the Knicks are back.
Barely the knicker back, nixer back.
Speaker 3 (16:56):

Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
That's all they have.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Tonight's show on Fox Boris Radio brought to you by Discover.
At the end of your first year, Discover credit cards
automatically double all the cash back you And that's right,
everything you warned is doubled. Seriously see terms. Check it
out for yourself at discover dot com. Slash Match uh
right now the main event of main events Warriors and
(17:43):
the Lakers. It's a ten to two Warriors lead. It
could easily be twenty to two. Uh, Clay's got a
three already, Wiggins has a three, Steph has a bucket.
The Lakers get a time out, Lebron a bad turnover,
Eighty tries to outlet him. He just goes through his
hands going out about. The Lakers simply have to withstand
the first quarter of this game to stay in it.
(18:04):
The Warriors are great in game one, Steve Currz the
opposite of Mike, butdenholes are in game ones. They have
to just withstand this first quarter and stay within striking distance.
But I gotta be honest, Mike, just for a second,
just to be a total and complete fan. I mean,
the level of awesomeness of this series on a scale
(18:25):
of one to ten is like a thousand, right, because
you know about the hype going in, You think about it.
It's Lebron and Steph and Clay, and you turn on
the TV.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
And you watch and it looks and it feels and
it sounds like a bleeping NBA Finals game. Like I
don't know, I don't know how do we go on
from here?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
This is the only series anybody's gonna have any time.
For as much as I love the Knicks, right, how
are we gonna go on. The only way we can
go on from Lakers Warriors is the Lakers win and
we go straight to Lakers Knicks NBA Finals. That's the
only one, because how do you go on to the
next round? How do you go on to like Lakers
Nuggets or Warrior Year's Nuggets and then nix in the
heat versus the Sixers or the celt out.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I mean, how do you do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I mean, this is such an epic playoff series right now,
and you see the way the crowds and it looks,
it looks and it feels like an NBA Finals game.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's so outstanding. But just even into the build up
of it, right injury reports, practice notes, here's this guy
simulating being Curry in a workout. There is the video
equipment guy, you know that kind of thing. All of
the building. They've got to dress up to be Steph
pretty much. Yeah, and then he went on to become
a super coach somewhere else. But the idea just of legacies, histories,
(19:39):
heroes and villains, right, because even the only guy that
kind of escapes things is Steph. But even then, I mean,
how many times did you have people come back on
the system quarterback run after his fifty burger the other night.
So I mean, no matter where you're looking at injury histories,
the placement in history, right, everybody rewriting top ten lists
(20:02):
wherever they can. There's so much other content, guys, you
can wait until the season's done to do all that.
But in the end rum, you know, we've got a
build up of a huge game, D'Angelo Russell playing such
a huge time the other night, and then I can't
wait to see what shirt Kyrie Irving's wearing. Does it
say hey, I can get myself free for either of you,
(20:25):
or what the deal is? Like he did when the
Lakers played played the other night. It's like, hey, you know, hey,
I am here. And then the Warriors King's like, look
at I'm courtside here too. He's just whack themle popping
up everywhere. So so many storylines, so much history in
the building and greatness and legacies. And then we get
(20:46):
back to, hey, there's Jokich because he didn't win MVP,
so the streak is over. There's no extra sulky for
him this year.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
How does Reeves not get one vote?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I was actually just looking at the top five voting
breakdown here.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah, I know Lebron didn't get involve but how the
hell does Reeves not get one?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
No, Look, Reeves is on the list. He's getting all
the votes.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
On players about to get paid way too much money
in the offseason, Austin Reeves at.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The top of that one.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Why is it way too much? It's not your money,
don't care.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
That's just it. It is what the market will bear,
my man, It is what the market will bear. But
I mean, you go all the way down the list
embiid Joki, Giannis, Tatum, Mitchell, and Shaye Gilds, Alexander finishing
sixth in voting. Twitter at how About a Fresca?

Match seventeen thirteen Warriors. With the lead over the Lakers,
Lebron and Steph both go to the bench for rest
(21:56):
five forty nine to go in the first quarter a
Ruyachimura check in the game for the Lakers. Will keep
you updated on this throughout the night, obviously, and Isaac
Low and Kron gonna have more in a couple of
minutes when he has what's trending. But I swear to you,
I am happy that Joel Embiid won the NBA MVP
right A bit, a bit.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Of a shocker today. We'd heard Yokich's name for a
long time, but then Embiid's name came in. He had
a big end.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
What was gonna happen? And you know, so, I think
there was a mild surprise at MBID one. But I
am so glad that he won. I'm being serious, I'm
not being facetious. I am so glad that he won.
Now ask me why, Mike Carmon.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Please explain to me and to the millions and millions
of the fans out there across the globe, why you're
happy Joel Embiid won the MVP.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Because now I don't have to hear him and the
Sixers whine about how he's the MVP but he can't
win it, because I'm done with that. Every year it's IBMVP.
Why am I not Oh, he's the MVP looking out club.
He cares so much about the MV. Why am I
not the MVP? Oh my own life, I'm the MVP.
I yeah, that's all they talk about, is Joel and
(23:06):
b Yeah. Now I'm glad he one. So now he
doesn't have to whine and complain about it. No one's
got a politic for it, for it for him in
a postgame press conference. What else did Joel emb need
to do? You don't say he's the MVP. He's coming
off fifteen points on six and twenty one shooting, but
he has a big knight and suddenly he's the MVP.
So I'm glad he one and double that. Now, go
(23:27):
show you're the MVP.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Go show you can stay healthy and stay in and
win and lead your team all the way to at
least the Eastern Conference finals. Now show me you're the
MVP or is that enough? Is that enough to be
the MVP? And now yeah, I'm hurt and I can't
put no. Now show me you're the MVP and go
actually do something.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Here in the plass that are going home early and
pointing fingers and saying, oh, it's Ben Simmons fault. It's
James Harden's fault s. Yeah, no, Now go show me
you're the now go do it now, you want to
be the MVP. Congratulations, you're the MVP. Now show me
you really are, and let's see what you can do
the rest of the plass when you get back in
the lineup.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah, I think that's how I feel. I kind of
like that. I like that. And then you threw down
the microphone in the new tire rack dot Com. Fox
Sports radios here say take that. Uh, and but I
agree with you because that was my first gut reaction
to it too. All Right, there's the video of Joel
embiid good now, shut up, and I said it just
like a former colleague of ours here at Fox Sports Radio.
(24:21):
Shut up, Hey man, pob is locked in on this
Lakers game. He's got no time to have beef with me.
It's way past Okay, perhaps that is true. Shut up? Yeah, yeah,
you think you think of Pat O'Brien like, you know, hey,
I'm a forty year old. Announcement that I'm so young anymore, guys, Yeah, no,
he's a little bit older. Now he's gonna be at
(24:42):
the Laker game. You don't know seven thirty.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Time forbid could be at the Rainbow Room.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
For all we know, the true he could be sitting
there having it, having a little uh beverage next to
the Lemi statue. You don't know. But the idea being
that we we have Joel Embiid for the last couple
of years. Right, there's this campaign in the final month
of season, almost like a Heisman campaign. I was waiting
(25:06):
for everybody to start sending us beer koozies and bumper
stickers and things. Here there's a picture of Joel Embiid.
He's got a googly eyes on it or a bobble
or something, just waiting for it to show up in
our mailboxes at Fox Sports Radio. Not that we're part
of the voting electorate on it, but the fact that
(25:28):
you've had this late season every year is like, look
what he does and back to back scoring titles. Pretty cool.
First MVP since the aforementioned Allen Iverson I think that
was what two thousand and one. So go all the
way down down the line, I mean, huge, huge things,
but in the end it's okay, he got it, so
everybody's got one. That is that the game we play anymore?
(25:52):
You know? Jokic Jannis both have two, so they can't
win again because if they win a third, it changes
how we have to look at them. I've heard that argument. Listen,
listenin He's got one.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
This is you know, this is like the Academy Awards,
where okay, let's give you an award. You've been trying
so desperately to win an oscar for years. Look at
all these roles I am taking. I'm taking a big
biopic role of someone who is really famous or notorious
in history, or I'm taking a lot, taking a role
that's outside my comfort zone. I'm gonna do all of
these things. I'm gonna I'm gonna go and now I
(26:27):
really okay.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
When you win, now go away? You won, now go away?
Now stop? You want now go it'. That's kind of
like it is you wan, now go away. I don't
want to hear it.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Now?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Why did I only win one? No, I'm done. I'm done.
Joelle embid you're done. You're done.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Find something else to complain about now I can't be
find something else complain We're done again.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Show me you're the m v P show. I don't
say that. I don't know how you show you're the MVP,
you get back on the damn court somebody. Yeah, exactly,
Although I look, I hope his knee is okay, because
clearly when it happened, we're looking around going, well, he
probably should have gotten suspended for the kick. So is
this part of a Hey, we're gonna have had a
minimum a gentleman in sweep in the first round, so
(27:03):
it really doesn't matter. Uh No, Instead, now it's the
uh getting a little bit better every day, trending upward. Yeah,
if he just sat on his ass for six days
and didn't aggravate the knee, the natural human body tendencies
is that you're having a little bit of healing. So
that doesn't give me a whole lot of comfort. But
he did look happy as he heard the news and
(27:25):
his teammate, Yes, he's the m v P. Nowday he's
the MVP. Now are you just k Brunson didn't get
any real consider a finalist? Maybe I'll win it next year.
Well listen, okay, let's say wait, Joellen Jovann Bouja had
no desire for it. He had Joki if but.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
If if if embiid gets the Michael Jordan Award because
that's the MVP now named after him, and Jaylen Brunch
gets the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I'm okay with that trade. I'm okay with that, and
I want Jayleen Brunce to then go.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Oh, look at the real MVP. Are you the MVP, Joelle?
You're still the real MVP, the real because the Knicks
are back. The Knicks are back.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Oh, are you the reason? Are you the real? You're
the real?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Because I know, I know how it's gonna go. I
know how to play because because of what I'm putting
out in the universe. I told you that the biggest thing,
right was what I was afraid of, that this was
gonna be the year the Sixers who like to.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Talk talk talk talk to.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
They're like Memphis except except they really talk just as much.
But it's doc and it's embing. It's better players with
more cachet, So you go, oh, I kind of get it.
But they just talk talk talk talk talk to.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And this is gonna be the year. I gotta watch
the Sixers actually win, and they're gonna be insufferable. And
I know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
They're gonna play the Knicks in the Conference Finals and
they're gonna beat them to get to the NBA Finals.
And I'm gonna be upset that I watched the Knicks
get to the conference finals lose to the Sixers. But
then I gotta hear the Sixers talk about how great
they are when they make the NBA Finals before they
get swept by the Denver Nuggets. I'm gonna have to
hear that for so long that's gonna happen. I put
that out in the universe.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Mike during that entire monologue, the entire time, I'm like
stick grim Reaper in the meaning of life. You Americans,

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Fox Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Early in the second quarter, the Lakers
have made it all the way back. They now lead
the Warriors thirty three to thirty one. Anthony Davis fourteen
already for LA. He is seven out of eight from
(31:16):
the floor. Meanwhile, Steph Curry Klay Thompson, both with ten apiece,
each have two threes, leading the way for the Warriors again.
Early in the second quarter. What feels like an NBA
Finals game. It's just getting going. Really an amazing night
to be a fan to watch the NBA, especially to
watch the Knicks play as well as they did. I check,
(31:36):
but this year, but this series, this is everything we need.
I mean, there's no other series right now. It's Lakers Warriors.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That's it. I mean, they just should cancel the rest
of it after this. Yeah, probably. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yo, Look we played the next That's fine, that's great.
People had something to watch now, Lakers Warriors. Yeah, what
about the rest of this it? Nah, because really, how
do you go back to watching six or Celtics and
Nuggets suns? I mean, oh, how do we go back to?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Well, I mean I want to watch some more game,
Incent Harry you up?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, man, that's really Hey. Look, as a Knicks fan,
I'm like, I don't know. I think I'd rather have
more of this series. I think I can send to
see more of this. Uh So again, it's a one
point game, ten and a half minutes to go in
the second quarter. More NBA coming up in a few minutes,
But big NFL news today. Look, all eyes are gonna
be on Aaron Rodgers, obviously, whether he is court side
(32:22):
at the Knicks, at the Rangers, wherever else wherever there's
a game, he is court side. Now he gets ready
to take his first snap for the Jets. But the
Packers his replacement. They did something really interesting today. They
extended Jordan Love's contract for another year. I love see
(32:42):
what I did there. I love what the Packers are
doing when it comes to Jordan Loves.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Yeah, I mean both. Yeah, I love what they're doing.
First of all, they said the other day that they're
not gonna bring an experience backup, right, you know that
they draft the Clifford the experience backup. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
No, we kind of like where we are right now.
In other words, Jordan Love doesn't have to worry about Hey,
it's your first go round. If you don't play well,
we have a Andy Dalton's gonna come in ben A
I'm QB one.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
No, No, we don't have to worry about that. We're
not gonna If someone fired that off with Jordan Love, fine,
Dalton's my guy. He sent me a case of sausages
that's Skyline Chili, so he wins. You send me a
case of sausage. I'll be your friend. I'll say good
things about it. I'm your friend. Uh. But now the
(33:34):
contract deal, they could have easily waited and said, okay,
you're on a one year sink or swim deal, because really,
Jordan Love kinda is, And they could have easily said,
this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna let you
play out this year.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Let's worry about you worry about being the starting quarterback
for the Green Bay Packers, but they extended him by
a year, and Jordan Love knows they could have punted
on it and waited and made him prove himself. But
instead they're gonna give him twenty two million dollars for
next year. Thirteen and a half million dollars of it
is guaranteed. So now they're saying you're a quarterback for
the next two years. That is one hell of a
(34:10):
message and positivity. We mentioned ted Lasso. That is one
hell of a message in positivity for Jordan Love from
the Packers. They are putting him in a position to succeed,
and they are telling him, don't worry about over your shoulder,
don't worry about being just this year.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
You gotta cup.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Now there's gonna be some kind of clock on it,
because you've got to put some kind of clock. You
don't just get forever to prove that you can or
can't do it. But hey, you got a couple of years.
We drafted you, we moved up for you, we have
a lot invested in you. We're all getting fired if
you suck, so we're in this together. But giving you
two years, you got this year, you got next year.
Let's go out and ball, You don't worry about anybody
(34:46):
looking over your shoulder. I love this message they have
put out there to Jordan Love.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
It's great. Yeah, I think it works both ways, and
a lot of it ligns up with my thoughts and
what I expressed as we were talking about Lamar Jackson
during the stalemate and questions of how things would resolve.
It's the all right, you both get the best of
both worlds. Right. For the Ravens, it was go out
and see if you can find the better deal. It's
(35:09):
not personal, just go see what the market really thinks
of you. For Lamar Jackson, it was damn it, I'm
gonna go figure out what my world is. I'm gonna
grab my knapsack and I'm gonna start crisscrossing the country
like I'm Bruce Banner and the incredible Hull Kitch, hiking
along the road with the sad music playing. And instead
he comes back to Baltimore. That long road brought him back.
Now with Jordan Love, he's got a bit of security,
(35:32):
but he also didn't have to try to try and say, hey,
you know what, I've been here and I've been working,
so you need to look at me as a long
term solution didn't hold him over a barrel or cause
any kind of issue there, recognizing and reading the tea
leaves of it all to say, Okay, I've got my
chance to go be the guy and for the packers.
(35:52):
Look at that cost, because if he plays two expectations
that were set when he first joined this squad to
carry the torch for legacy giant quarterbacks and Hall of
Fame candondacies there in Green Bay. Think about that dollar
amount for next year. That's nothing, man, That's gonna be
(36:13):
one of the best bargains in quarterbacking for one more year. Meanwhile,
next Offseas is gonna be like, all right, so what
about my extension? Hey, so I've been pretty good. Now
let's work about that. What I was really I was
really good and I gave you that twenty twenty four deal.
Now let's let's start talking long term. I just we
(36:33):
just got done. I need a vacation. We just tried
that this whole thing for three years with Aaron Rodgers.
You gotta give me some time I can, and then
walked back into the offices. I'm back.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Twitter it out about a Fresca Mike and swollen down
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Love what the Packers are doing with Love, Warriors and
Lakers are tied at thirty eight.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
We have more big news out of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Turns out that calling out Lebron James isn't great for
job security.

(00:54):
The way tire buying should be The Knicks on a
twenty one seven run the last six minutes up by eight,
with twenty seconds.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Left to go.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Let me just borrow from the great justin Frostburg. The
Knicker back, the Knicker back, They're back. It doesn't matter.
Nothing else matters because the knickser back. The Knicks are back.
It was so bad. I was so nervous, I was
so worried. I was a wreck all day, and now
the knickser back. They're back, my carpet, they're back.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Still hasn't caught up to what actually transpired in the game.
Sack now back with three zero six remaining of fraudulent
twenty four second violation was called on the heat, negating
what was then a lay in that would have made
it a one point game. Instead, Brunson comes back, makes
a floating jump shot. Now he got a five point game.
(01:45):
It's a huge swing. Bad officiating, terrible officiating, home cooking
in front of every celebrity that possibly could have shown
up and gotten a ticket. How many guys did they
give tickets to tonight? Good lord, everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
They gave everybody tickets for everybody begging to show up
for this one, tickets for everyone, tickets for everyone.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Okay, First of all, yes, I'm sorry this game did
not turn on one twenty four second call with three
and a half minutes left to go.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Sorry, hate, Hey, it matters, didn't happen. That didn't happen.
That's quite It's a three point game that's now in
one point game if they get that lay in, okay,
or does it go differently, orders the game go different.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's one play with four minutes left to go. It's
not the end all be all of the game. The
bigger deal is Julius Randall bleeping turning the ball over
on the inbounds and Duncan Robinson hitting a three to
cut this lead to three now with twenty two seconds
left to go. That's the bigger deal. You could have
your Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Know what if they had those other two points?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh yeah, if they had these other two points, if somehow,
yes law, if somehow the heat had more points than
the next, they'd be winning.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yes, I agree with you. There, I agree with you.
By the way. The general rule of all of this, though,
still comes back to Caliperry. The last useful thing he
gave anyone, as much he wants to talk about the
contracts that players have gotten into the NBA is succeed
and proceed. That's it. That's all you need. You can
only beat who's on the court. So you're entering how
(03:13):
many guys are out Tyler Hero and and there's Jimmy Buckets,
and over there is Oladipo. Didn't matter, you know who's
out there, and Vincent has been fantastic. I go wanted
to sing starry, Starry Night for him with some of
the rain, rain drops and beautiful starry shots he's been
putting up in front of the luminaries at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
But look, but that's the way it goes is there
is a game every night, and somebody is hurt, and
a star is hurt every single night and goes and
exactly what what is.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It when a bell rings and angel gets its wings?
Every time the bell rings and Angel gets his wings. Yeah,
I mean that's really I mean, it's everybody is hurt.
I'm not saying.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Look when I talked about the Nick's not having Julius
Randall and Jalen Brunson, I'm not saying it is an excuse,
like all, look they didn't have them. This is just
how it goes now in the NBA. Everybody gets hurt.
There are stars who are hurt all the time. It's
just the way the playoffs go. Because it's Giannis or
it's Kawhi, or it's Randall or it's brother. Guys get
(04:19):
hurt all the time. Now that's the new norm of
the NBA playoffs. Stars get hurt, Guys get hurt. It's
how it goes.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm more just ah, man, it hit us right like,
you know, trying to avoid it. I'm trying to avoid
I don't want I don't want the injury bugged in is.
I don't want it. I'm trying to duck it as
it sliding around and swooping around like a big game
of tether ball.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'm trying to miss that, bob oh, that hits us.
But that's just the way it is now. So yeah, no,
you can't hear her. Give me well, if this guy
played it, Guys miss all the time now, it's it's
it's part of a given of the NBA playoffs. Yeah,
Jimmy Butler's hurt. You know why because stars get hurt.
Stars get hurt all the time. Out That's just how
it goes.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But at the end the end of the day, at
the end of the day, see I'm stealing from our
gat the end of the day, at the end of
the day, whoever shows up on the court, it's an
opportunity for greatness. And tonight people got introduced to a
number of undrafted players playing big minutes for the Miami
Heat and putting up big time performances. Just one shot
(05:15):
after the next seven of seventeen from the field twenty
one points, uh for a guy named Gabe Vincent, and
everybody said, who began, Barbara Baby, Yeah, you gotta get
to play.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Uh So, right now, the Knicks get fouled somehow, the
heat let ten seconds get off the clock before Josh
Hart is fouled. He makes both free throws. The Knicks
are the one ten to one oh five lead. Now
with the ball and four seconds left, a desperation three
from Miami clangs off the back of the rim. Four
seconds left. The Knicks up five. The Knicks are back.
(05:49):
I said it a couple of minutes ago. The Knicks
are back. They just bam. They just showed Aaron Rodgers
next to Sauce Gardner and the Knicks are back, and
Aaron Rodgers and Madison Square Gardens, Oh greater things.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Right now, it doesn't get any better than this. The
Knicks are winning in the second.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Round of the playoffs, and Aaron Rodgers, Jets quarterback, is
at the game.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It is so awesome. I can't even tell you I
was gonna say, because if they lost this one, the
Jets were gonna ban him from all the games. Oh well,
if they lost that, knowing that they every time he
shows up they lose, They're not even gonna bother. It's
the Zack attack for you there. You know what I
do want to celebrate because we are broadcasting live from
the Tirak dot Com studios, which means the sound on
(06:31):
our television is done. But that long little love fest
that they didn't they no doubt had at the announcers
table when they showed Carmelo, Anthony and the crowd, that
really did the body good I've had. You know, I
can't say what I want to say in terms of
everywhere I turn I see Aaron Rodgers face. No you
could say it. No, No, I can't say it. It's
(06:52):
no go ahead. I think it's borderline non FCC complaint.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Just say if the Knicks are back, the knickser back,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
You have barely battery here. We talked about it last night.
The expectation was that unless suddenly there was a miracle,
you know, extra extra read all about it, stealing straight
from the Who's Tommy, and all of a sudden, Jimmy
Butler's run around the beach shirt listen doing cartwheels like
Roger Daltrey was saying, Hey, you know I'm back. No,
he wasn't gonna play and get ready take the extra
(07:23):
three days for Game three. So Nicks hold serve probably
more of a scare than anybody in the garden really
wanted to believe. A no pregame, I want to talk
about the number of heat fans that were in the building,
only again to be out numbered by the number of
celebrities that had a night off. So congratulations, big effort
from Brunson, came up big late. It was good to
(07:46):
see some other players in your offense because I tweeted
with about eight minutes left in the third quarter that
everybody not named Randall, Brunson, and Barrett and combined for
nine points nine. No, not a lot at the finished
They finished as a crew with thirty two mm fourteen
(08:06):
from Josh Art. He must have heard the wake up
call fourteen eleven and nine.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That three that he hit with a minute and a
half left to go to give him make it a
five point lead. I'll tell you, John, what an un
Maybe the greatest deadline acquisition in the history of sports,
Josh Art, maybe the greatest ever. Wow, maybe look at you, uh.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Jason, you do realize once the Lakers tip the next
all matter.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Right, Frostburg, they're not tipped yet. The Knicks are back.
They're not tipped, and the Knicks are back. The game
is over. The Knicks are back. They're back, They're back.
One eleven, one oh five. Look at Tom Tibbau.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
He's so happy the next minutes.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's maybe the one thing that did make me laugh
over the in the course of the game, back when
audio was available, you know, pre show, uh was there
was an R. J. Barrett turnover where the ball just
went through his hands bounds and they couldn't find Thibodeau's
reaction fast and you do the lip reading again. Not
(09:03):
save for radio. No, no, not at all. But he
went from having a pretty calm demeanor the last time
they looked at him, to where you would have thought
he was anger, as voiced by Lewis Black in the
classic Pixar film Inside Out. But his stack had exploded,
maybe hades. Not that we should bring up James Woods
with great regularity, but again, a great character.

thinking you were gonna give the give and go for
the dunk Shrosburg and you said you tomb in. Of

got one minute left of the man, enjoy It doesn't matter, hey, listen, just.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
You know, just like a public service announcement.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Here, clearly, I know that we selected and elected the
MVP today Joel Embiid, which we'll get to it, but
uh Jalen Brunson thirty points six out of ten from
three point range. He is a franchise player. He is
a franchise play. Julius Randall was great. I told you
he had to come back for the Knicks to win.
Why because it's a matchup nightmare.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
They didn't have Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Stuff doesn't matter. Stuff you can't say that. You can't.
I just said you.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Jimmy Butler plays the next lose by twenty.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
No, it doesn't matter. No, Jimmy Butler was out and
the Heat lost because the Knicks are it's science. What's
going on? It's not so what do you know about science?
What's the last time you took a science?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I know that if Jimmy Butler plays that game, my
the Heat win the legend.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That's not a sign Jimmy buckets.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I mean it's kind of science that.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
None of that is science. It is foul.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
That's math if it's anything. And okay, A, it's math.
B it's not fact. And see it's not science. You

Lakers and the Warriors. It's Lebron and the powder and

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Here we go. Which is worse the powder nonsense or
Steph Curry chewing his mouthpiece Right now, they're doing both
of them on my screen, and I want to put
you both in the face. Hey, you know what, that's
as viable the pole question as any other damn thing
someone's gonna ask. No.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
See, the thing is I like the powder. I don't
like the chewing of the mouthpiece. I hate the chewing him,
but I love the powder. I love these doing it.
I just love I just love the powder. And he
does it everywhere. You know, I would say this. The
one time I did like it was when he subbed
back in after he was hurt. Yeah, and his first
came back. He came in as a sub and he
didn't doing the powder on the road. Ah, that's all awesome.

out for yourself at discover dot com. Slash Match uh
right now the main event of main events Warriors and
(17:43):
the Lakers. It's a ten to two Warriors lead. It
could easily be twenty to two. Uh, Clay's got a
three already, Wiggins has a three, Steph has a bucket.
The Lakers get a time out, Lebron a bad turnover,
Eighty tries to outlet him. He just goes through his
hands going out about. The Lakers simply have to withstand
the first quarter of this game to stay in it.
(18:04):
The Warriors are great in game one, Steve Currz the
opposite of Mike, butdenholes are in game ones. They have
to just withstand this first quarter and stay within striking distance.
But I gotta be honest, Mike, just for a second,
just to be a total and complete fan. I mean,
the level of awesomeness of this series on a scale
(18:25):
of one to ten is like a thousand, right, because
you know about the hype going in, You think about it.
It's Lebron and Steph and Clay, and you turn on
the TV.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
And you watch and it looks and it feels and
it sounds like a bleeping NBA Finals game. Like I
don't know, I don't know how do we go on
from here?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
This is the only series anybody's gonna have any time.
For as much as I love the Knicks, right, how
are we gonna go on. The only way we can
go on from Lakers Warriors is the Lakers win and
we go straight to Lakers Knicks NBA Finals. That's the
only one, because how do you go on to the
next round? How do you go on to like Lakers
Nuggets or Warrior Year's Nuggets and then nix in the
heat versus the Sixers or the celt out.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I mean, how do you do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I mean, this is such an epic playoff series right now,
and you see the way the crowds and it looks,
it looks and it feels like an NBA Finals game.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's so outstanding. But just even into the build up
of it, right injury reports, practice notes, here's this guy
simulating being Curry in a workout. There is the video
equipment guy, you know that kind of thing. All of
the building. They've got to dress up to be Steph
pretty much. Yeah, and then he went on to become
a super coach somewhere else. But the idea just of legacies, histories,
(19:39):
heroes and villains, right, because even the only guy that
kind of escapes things is Steph. But even then, I mean,
how many times did you have people come back on
the system quarterback run after his fifty burger the other night.
So I mean, no matter where you're looking at injury histories,
the placement in history, right, everybody rewriting top ten lists
(20:02):
wherever they can. There's so much other content, guys, you
can wait until the season's done to do all that.
But in the end rum, you know, we've got a
build up of a huge game, D'Angelo Russell playing such
a huge time the other night, and then I can't
wait to see what shirt Kyrie Irving's wearing. Does it
say hey, I can get myself free for either of you,
(20:25):
or what the deal is? Like he did when the
Lakers played played the other night. It's like, hey, you know, hey,
I am here. And then the Warriors King's like, look
at I'm courtside here too. He's just whack themle popping
up everywhere. So so many storylines, so much history in
the building and greatness and legacies. And then we get
(20:46):
back to, hey, there's Jokich because he didn't win MVP,
so the streak is over. There's no extra sulky for
him this year.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
How does Reeves not get one vote?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I was actually just looking at the top five voting
breakdown here.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah, I know Lebron didn't get involve but how the
hell does Reeves not get one?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
No, Look, Reeves is on the list. He's getting all
the votes.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
On players about to get paid way too much money
in the offseason, Austin Reeves at.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The top of that one.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Why is it way too much? It's not your money,
don't care.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
That's just it. It is what the market will bear,
my man, It is what the market will bear. But
I mean, you go all the way down the list
embiid Joki, Giannis, Tatum, Mitchell, and Shaye Gilds, Alexander finishing
sixth in voting. Twitter at how About a Fresca?

Match seventeen thirteen Warriors. With the lead over the Lakers,
Lebron and Steph both go to the bench for rest
(21:56):
five forty nine to go in the first quarter a
Ruyachimura check in the game for the Lakers. Will keep
you updated on this throughout the night, obviously, and Isaac
Low and Kron gonna have more in a couple of
minutes when he has what's trending. But I swear to you,
I am happy that Joel Embiid won the NBA MVP
right A bit, a bit.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Of a shocker today. We'd heard Yokich's name for a
long time, but then Embiid's name came in. He had
a big end.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
What was gonna happen? And you know, so, I think
there was a mild surprise at MBID one. But I
am so glad that he won. I'm being serious, I'm
not being facetious. I am so glad that he won.
Now ask me why, Mike Carmon.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Please explain to me and to the millions and millions
of the fans out there across the globe, why you're
happy Joel Embiid won the MVP.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Because now I don't have to hear him and the
Sixers whine about how he's the MVP but he can't
win it, because I'm done with that. Every year it's IBMVP.
Why am I not Oh, he's the MVP looking out club.
He cares so much about the MV. Why am I
not the MVP? Oh my own life, I'm the MVP.
I yeah, that's all they talk about, is Joel and
(23:06):
b Yeah. Now I'm glad he one. So now he
doesn't have to whine and complain about it. No one's
got a politic for it, for it for him in
a postgame press conference. What else did Joel emb need
to do? You don't say he's the MVP. He's coming
off fifteen points on six and twenty one shooting, but
he has a big knight and suddenly he's the MVP.
So I'm glad he one and double that. Now, go
(23:27):
show you're the MVP.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Go show you can stay healthy and stay in and
win and lead your team all the way to at
least the Eastern Conference finals. Now show me you're the
MVP or is that enough? Is that enough to be
the MVP? And now yeah, I'm hurt and I can't
put no. Now show me you're the MVP and go
actually do something.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Here in the plass that are going home early and
pointing fingers and saying, oh, it's Ben Simmons fault. It's
James Harden's fault s. Yeah, no, Now go show me
you're the now go do it now, you want to
be the MVP. Congratulations, you're the MVP. Now show me
you really are, and let's see what you can do
the rest of the plass when you get back in
the lineup.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah, I think that's how I feel. I kind of
like that. I like that. And then you threw down
the microphone in the new tire rack dot Com. Fox
Sports radios here say take that. Uh, and but I
agree with you because that was my first gut reaction
to it too. All Right, there's the video of Joel
embiid good now, shut up, and I said it just
like a former colleague of ours here at Fox Sports Radio.
(24:21):
Shut up, Hey man, pob is locked in on this
Lakers game. He's got no time to have beef with me.
It's way past Okay, perhaps that is true. Shut up? Yeah, yeah,
you think you think of Pat O'Brien like, you know, hey,
I'm a forty year old. Announcement that I'm so young anymore, guys, Yeah, no,
he's a little bit older. Now he's gonna be at
(24:42):
the Laker game. You don't know seven thirty.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Time forbid could be at the Rainbow Room.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
For all we know, the true he could be sitting
there having it, having a little uh beverage next to
the Lemi statue. You don't know. But the idea being
that we we have Joel Embiid for the last couple
of years. Right, there's this campaign in the final month
of season, almost like a Heisman campaign. I was waiting
(25:06):
for everybody to start sending us beer koozies and bumper
stickers and things. Here there's a picture of Joel Embiid.
He's got a googly eyes on it or a bobble
or something, just waiting for it to show up in
our mailboxes at Fox Sports Radio. Not that we're part
of the voting electorate on it, but the fact that
(25:28):
you've had this late season every year is like, look
what he does and back to back scoring titles. Pretty cool.
First MVP since the aforementioned Allen Iverson I think that
was what two thousand and one. So go all the
way down down the line, I mean, huge, huge things,
but in the end it's okay, he got it, so
everybody's got one. That is that the game we play anymore?
(25:52):
You know? Jokic Jannis both have two, so they can't
win again because if they win a third, it changes
how we have to look at them. I've heard that argument. Listen,
listenin He's got one.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
This is you know, this is like the Academy Awards,
where okay, let's give you an award. You've been trying
so desperately to win an oscar for years. Look at
all these roles I am taking. I'm taking a big
biopic role of someone who is really famous or notorious
in history, or I'm taking a lot, taking a role
that's outside my comfort zone. I'm gonna do all of
these things. I'm gonna I'm gonna go and now I
(26:27):
really okay.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
When you win, now go away? You won, now go away?
Now stop? You want now go it'. That's kind of
like it is you wan, now go away. I don't
want to hear it.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Now?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Why did I only win one? No, I'm done. I'm done.
Joelle embid you're done. You're done.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Find something else to complain about now I can't be
find something else complain We're done again.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Show me you're the m v P show. I don't
say that. I don't know how you show you're the MVP,
you get back on the damn court somebody. Yeah, exactly,
Although I look, I hope his knee is okay, because
clearly when it happened, we're looking around going, well, he
probably should have gotten suspended for the kick. So is
this part of a Hey, we're gonna have had a
minimum a gentleman in sweep in the first round, so
(27:03):
it really doesn't matter. Uh No, Instead, now it's the
uh getting a little bit better every day, trending upward. Yeah,
if he just sat on his ass for six days
and didn't aggravate the knee, the natural human body tendencies
is that you're having a little bit of healing. So
that doesn't give me a whole lot of comfort. But
he did look happy as he heard the news and
(27:25):
his teammate, Yes, he's the m v P. Nowday he's
the MVP. Now are you just k Brunson didn't get
any real consider a finalist? Maybe I'll win it next year.
Well listen, okay, let's say wait, Joellen Jovann Bouja had
no desire for it. He had Joki if but.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
If if if embiid gets the Michael Jordan Award because
that's the MVP now named after him, and Jaylen Brunch
gets the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I'm okay with that trade. I'm okay with that, and
I want Jayleen Brunce to then go.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Oh, look at the real MVP. Are you the MVP, Joelle?
You're still the real MVP, the real because the Knicks
are back. The Knicks are back.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Oh, are you the reason? Are you the real? You're
the real?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Because I know, I know how it's gonna go. I
know how to play because because of what I'm putting
out in the universe. I told you that the biggest thing,
right was what I was afraid of, that this was
gonna be the year the Sixers who like to.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Talk talk talk talk to.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
They're like Memphis except except they really talk just as much.
But it's doc and it's embing. It's better players with
more cachet, So you go, oh, I kind of get it.
But they just talk talk talk talk talk to.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And this is gonna be the year. I gotta watch
the Sixers actually win, and they're gonna be insufferable. And
I know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
They're gonna play the Knicks in the Conference Finals and
they're gonna beat them to get to the NBA Finals.
And I'm gonna be upset that I watched the Knicks
get to the conference finals lose to the Sixers. But
then I gotta hear the Sixers talk about how great
they are when they make the NBA Finals before they
get swept by the Denver Nuggets. I'm gonna have to
hear that for so long that's gonna happen. I put
that out in the universe.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Mike during that entire monologue, the entire time, I'm like
stick grim Reaper in the meaning of life. You Americans,

have made it all the way back. They now lead

already for LA. He is seven out of eight from

each have two threes, leading the way for the Warriors again.
Early in the second quarter. What feels like an NBA
Finals game. It's just getting going. Really an amazing night
to be a fan to watch the NBA, especially to
watch the Knicks play as well as they did. I check,
(31:36):
but this year, but this series, this is everything we need.
I mean, there's no other series right now. It's Lakers Warriors.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That's it. I mean, they just should cancel the rest
of it after this. Yeah, probably. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yo, Look we played the next That's fine, that's great.
People had something to watch now, Lakers Warriors. Yeah, what
about the rest of this it? Nah, because really, how
do you go back to watching six or Celtics and
Nuggets suns? I mean, oh, how do we go back to?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Well, I mean I want to watch some more game,
Incent Harry you up?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, man, that's really Hey. Look, as a Knicks fan,
I'm like, I don't know. I think I'd rather have
more of this series. I think I can send to
see more of this. Uh So again, it's a one
point game, ten and a half minutes to go in
the second quarter. More NBA coming up in a few minutes,
But big NFL news today. Look, all eyes are gonna
be on Aaron Rodgers, obviously, whether he is court side
(32:22):
at the Knicks, at the Rangers, wherever else wherever there's
a game, he is court side. Now he gets ready
to take his first snap for the Jets. But the
Packers his replacement. They did something really interesting today. They
extended Jordan Love's contract for another year. I love see
(32:42):
what I did there. I love what the Packers are
doing when it comes to Jordan Loves.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Yeah, I mean both. Yeah, I love what they're doing.
First of all, they said the other day that they're
not gonna bring an experience backup, right, you know that
they draft the Clifford the experience backup. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
No, we kind of like where we are right now.
In other words, Jordan Love doesn't have to worry about Hey,
it's your first go round. If you don't play well,
we have a Andy Dalton's gonna come in ben A
I'm QB one.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
No, No, we don't have to worry about that. We're
not gonna If someone fired that off with Jordan Love, fine,
Dalton's my guy. He sent me a case of sausages
that's Skyline Chili, so he wins. You send me a
case of sausage. I'll be your friend. I'll say good
things about it. I'm your friend. Uh. But now the
(33:34):
contract deal, they could have easily waited and said, okay,
you're on a one year sink or swim deal, because really,
Jordan Love kinda is, And they could have easily said,
this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna let you
play out this year.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Let's worry about you worry about being the starting quarterback
for the Green Bay Packers, but they extended him by
a year, and Jordan Love knows they could have punted
on it and waited and made him prove himself. But
instead they're gonna give him twenty two million dollars for
next year. Thirteen and a half million dollars of it
is guaranteed. So now they're saying you're a quarterback for
the next two years. That is one hell of a
(34:10):
message and positivity. We mentioned ted Lasso. That is one
hell of a message in positivity for Jordan Love from
the Packers. They are putting him in a position to succeed,
and they are telling him, don't worry about over your shoulder,
don't worry about being just this year.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
You gotta cup.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Now there's gonna be some kind of clock on it,
because you've got to put some kind of clock. You
don't just get forever to prove that you can or
can't do it. But hey, you got a couple of years.
We drafted you, we moved up for you, we have
a lot invested in you. We're all getting fired if
you suck, so we're in this together. But giving you
two years, you got this year, you got next year.
Let's go out and ball, You don't worry about anybody
(34:46):
looking over your shoulder. I love this message they have
put out there to Jordan Love.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
It's great. Yeah, I think it works both ways, and
a lot of it ligns up with my thoughts and
what I expressed as we were talking about Lamar Jackson
during the stalemate and questions of how things would resolve.
It's the all right, you both get the best of
both worlds. Right. For the Ravens, it was go out
and see if you can find the better deal. It's
(35:09):
not personal, just go see what the market really thinks
of you. For Lamar Jackson, it was damn it, I'm
gonna go figure out what my world is. I'm gonna
grab my knapsack and I'm gonna start crisscrossing the country
like I'm Bruce Banner and the incredible Hull Kitch, hiking
along the road with the sad music playing. And instead
he comes back to Baltimore. That long road brought him back.
Now with Jordan Love, he's got a bit of security,
(35:32):
but he also didn't have to try to try and say, hey,
you know what, I've been here and I've been working,
so you need to look at me as a long
term solution didn't hold him over a barrel or cause
any kind of issue there, recognizing and reading the tea
leaves of it all to say, Okay, I've got my
chance to go be the guy and for the packers.
(35:52):
Look at that cost, because if he plays two expectations
that were set when he first joined this squad to
carry the torch for legacy giant quarterbacks and Hall of
Fame candondacies there in Green Bay. Think about that dollar
amount for next year. That's nothing, man, That's gonna be
(36:13):
one of the best bargains in quarterbacking for one more year. Meanwhile,
next Offseas is gonna be like, all right, so what
about my extension? Hey, so I've been pretty good. Now
let's work about that. What I was really I was
really good and I gave you that twenty twenty four deal.
Now let's let's start talking long term. I just we
(36:33):
just got done. I need a vacation. We just tried
that this whole thing for three years with Aaron Rodgers.
You gotta give me some time I can, and then
walked back into the offices. I'm back.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Twitter it out about a Fresca Mike and swollen down
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Love what the Packers are doing with Love, Warriors and
Lakers are tied at thirty eight.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
We have more big news out of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Turns out that calling out Lebron James isn't great for
job security.
