00:00NBA playoffs last night.
00:01The Cavs took a 2-0 lead.
00:03They win by 10 over Toronto.
00:06Donovan Mitchell with 30.
00:08He had 30.
00:09James Harden had 28.
00:11Yep, so they're fine.
00:12They will win that series, but they're up 2-0,
00:15heading to Toronto for game three.
00:17The Hawks were down 12, heading into the fourth.
00:20Outscored the Knicks by 13.
00:22They win by one.
00:24C.J. McCollum at 32.
00:25Still waiting on that case of wine he's going to send us.
00:28That C.J. McCollum, I'm waiting on it.
00:30That game was amazing.
00:32I was kind of watching it on and off,
00:34and I just thought the Knicks had that game.
00:37And then I went away from it for a while,
00:40put it back on, and all of a sudden,
00:42the Hawks had the lead.
00:44McCollum, Brunson hits a three-pointer, though,
00:47that cut it from 4-1 with roughly 7 or 8 seconds left.
00:52They put McCollum on the line.
00:54He missed his free throws.
00:56Josh Hart gets the rebound, pushes the ball up the court,
01:01hits Bridges, who has a pretty good look at a game winner.
01:05It would have been a huge choke job for the Hawks
01:10on C.J. McCollum's free throws,
01:12but props to C.J. McCollum.
01:13Still getting it done.
01:14Puts up 32 points.
01:16Now, on the other end of the spectrum,
01:18Zach Resachet, DNP.
01:21Coach's decision.
01:22Number one overall pick two years ago.
01:25Yeah, he's been a bust-a-rooney.
01:26That is brutal.
01:28Had our guy Corey Kispert play.
01:31He only played about nine minutes.
01:32Yeah, he's not really heavy in their rotation.
01:35It's all right.
01:35He's going to have a 10, 12-year career.
01:37I mean, he was in the regular season.
01:38He's just in the playoffs in a huge game.
01:41He just didn't play a lot.
01:42But that wasn't the biggest choke job.
01:44The biggest choke job was the Denver Nuggets.
01:46The Denver Nuggets lost at home by five to Minnesota.
01:51They had an 18-point lead.
01:5318-point lead.
01:53Anthony Edwards had 30 and 10.
01:56Joker, a couple dimes short of a triple-double.
01:58But they lose by five.
02:00That's a huge lead when you...
02:02I mean, you just can't lose 18-point leads at home.
02:05But they did.
02:06And that series is tied at one.
02:08The Hawks-Knicks series also tied at one,
02:09heading down to Atlanta.
02:10Anthony Edwards with 30 in the game.
02:12He's had a bunch of 30-point games in his playoff career,
02:15his young playoff career.
02:16I saw a quote this morning.
02:18I don't know if it's legit because you just never know.
02:23And I didn't have time to check to see whether it was fake or not.
02:27But it rang true.
02:29Jaden McDaniels was asked something about the defenders on the Denver Nuggets.
02:35And he said, none of them play defense.
02:37Like some trash talk.
02:38He said, we just went right at them.
02:41That's probably right.
02:42Apparently, it was right last night.
02:44Anyway, late in that game.
02:45So, tonight, you've got Game 2 in Boston, Philly, and the Celtics.
02:51Celtics are up one zippy.
02:53Portland is in San Antonio for Game 2.
02:55Spurs are up 1-0.
02:56And then the Rockets, Lakers.
02:58I assume Durant's back tonight.
03:00In L.A., Game 2.
03:01Lakers are up 1.
03:02I saw reports they said he was moving better.
03:05Yeah.
03:06So, I would expect to see him playing tonight,
03:08especially since they're down 1-0.
03:10So, Cakes, if you're paying attention to the NHL playoffs,
03:13there were four games last night.
03:15The Flyers are up 2-0 on the Pens.
03:16That's kind of shocking.
03:17Yeah, they've won both games.
03:19The Penguins have won two goals through the first two games.
03:21The Flyers won both games in Pittsburgh.
03:23Yep.
03:24They won three zippy last night.
03:25And the Flyers were the last team in.
03:26Yep.
03:27Yep.
03:27They were.
03:28Could have been the Caps.
03:30Just wasn't meant to be.
03:31Hurricanes won in, I believe, double overtime last night.
03:34Over the Sens, 3-2.
03:36So, they're up 2-0.
03:37They're the Eastern Conference favorite.
03:39Yes.
03:40Maybe Buffalo, but I would assume Carolina is.
03:43Frederick Anderson, 37 saves in the dub.
03:46Stars beat the Wild, and the Oilers beat the Ducks,
03:49and they are up 1-0.
03:51Baseball last night.
03:53The Nats, they've lost three out of four.
03:56Took an early lead over the Braves, who are red hot.
03:59The Braves came in.
03:59I turned it on right when Poulin came in and gave up.
04:03Yep.
04:03Go ahead.
04:04Yep.
04:04I mean, look, the Nats didn't hit the ball.
04:06They only had three hits.
04:07Lyle did hit a home run, I believe his second.
04:10But, you know, Woody has cooled off a little bit.
04:13Garcia went 0-4.
04:14They only had three hits.
04:15They did have a 3-2 lead, but then the Braves scored five in the sixth.
04:20You know, C.J. Abrams having a great year.
04:22I learned this nugget when I was just listening to the radio.
04:24But let me just say this.
04:25He's struggling defensively.
04:27Okay.
04:27He is struggling.
04:28Offensively, yes, but he is struggling defensively.
04:30I think he has six or seven home runs.
04:32He's hitting 3-12.
04:33Yep.
04:33He also likes to do, this is old school, what Don Baylor loved to do.
04:38Do you know what Don Baylor loved to do?
04:40Evie just gave it away.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah, I think he's leading majors with six hit-by-pitches.
04:46Does he, like, lean into them?
04:48I don't know.
04:48Or does he just crowd the plate?
04:50Don Baylor used to.
04:51Don Baylor was just a big dude.
04:53Yeah.
04:53Muscular, just boom, boom, would just kind of lean his shoulder in there.
04:56Especially, I mean, they allow these guys to armor up the way they used to?
04:59Yeah, I mean, if you get hit by a ball and you're wearing elbow and shoulder pads or whatever
05:02you're wearing.
05:02He's got to lean into one.
05:03Yeah.
05:04It's not going to affect you.
05:05Well, the...
05:05Get a base.
05:06Well, you better be careful because Acuna got hit twice last night and had to lead the
05:10game.
05:10Right.
05:11It's not smart to get hit by pitches.
05:12Well, I think he got hit...
05:14He got hit in the hand.
05:15He got hit in the hand.
05:16I was watching.
05:17Yeah, yeah.
05:17It was a Jacob Young a few games ago where he got hit, like, up on his shoulder and then
05:21it bounced, like, up in his chin and his cheek.
05:23Better be careful.
05:24It can be dangerous.
05:26But the Braves win.
05:28They've won six straight.
05:29They're 16-7.
05:32And tonight, it's a 6.45 start.
05:35I believe it's Foster Griffin pitching.
05:37We need this going in.
05:38The starting pitching is going to be very shaky for the Washington Nationals.
05:43Yeah, it's shaky, but...
05:44They're hanging in way better than not.
05:45I mean, Irvin wasn't horrible.
05:46I mean, he...
05:47But his ERA is at six.
05:48It is at six.
05:49But last night, he was fine for the first three innings.
05:52I'm telling you, his first three innings.
05:53Pulling came in and butchered it.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Pulling.
05:56He gave up two runs and got one out.
05:58But, you know, Irvin...
06:00It was fine for the first three or four innings.
06:03But, I mean, eventually, if you're not going to score runs, the Braves are going to get
06:05to you.
06:06But, I mean, if you look at the guys on the team in terms of innings pitch, so the starters.
06:11Yeah.
06:11Jacob Irvin's got a six ERA.
06:13Foster Griffin's been a great surprise.
06:163.05 ERA.
06:18Cavalli's at 4.12.
06:22Michaelis is at 9.15.
06:25And Littell's at 7.11.
06:27Yeah.
06:28And, of course, Michaelis is coming out.
06:30He's coming out of the pool.
06:30Yeah.
06:31Because this was like at 14.
06:32Yeah.
06:32Like last week.
06:33My point is, those are starters.
06:35Well, Michaelis hasn't really started the last two games.
06:38He's come out of the pen.
06:39They've opened with, you know, Poland probably.
06:42Yeah.
06:42But you're right.
06:43Pitching ain't great.
06:45Everyone knew that.
06:46But the offense had been carrying them.
06:48But 10 and 13...
06:49And they're much more aggressive, it seems like, on the bases.
06:52Look, the Braves' lineup is ridiculous.
06:54I mean, they've got a great lineup.
06:56Can your pitching be great when Miles Michaelis is a late add to your staff and he's supposed
07:00to be one of the better pitchers on your team?
07:03It's not.
07:03It's going to be tough.
07:04It's not.
07:05It's going to be a long year.
07:06It's going to be a long year.
07:07Just get the 65 wins for me.
07:09But you look at swipers.
07:11Nunez has got eight stolen bases.
07:13Abram's got five.
07:14James Wood's got four.
07:16I do think they are playing a different brand of baseball.
07:20Yeah, I would say they're probably more aggressive.
07:23They're just limited in terms of talent.
07:25Correct.
07:25And, man, Taboney's made a bunch of moves on the pitching staff.
07:30They brought that guy, Andrew Alvarez, up or purchased his contract.
07:34He came in on Sunday and beat the Giants.
07:38And then they optioned him the next day.
07:40And they brought this other guy in who pitched last night.
07:43It's kind of crazy.
07:43You have to ask Taboney about that when we have him on tomorrow.
07:47All right, so the Nats will play game two against the Braves,
07:50who have a five-game lead in the NL East.
07:52I'll tell you, for the first time in a couple years,
07:54that they're at least somewhat competitive.
07:56And I'm intrigued to watch again.
07:58You know, I kind of check on them every day.
08:00It's been a while since I've been doing that.
08:01It's going to win.
08:02In the NL East, the Phillies lost to the Cubs.
08:05They've lost six straight.
08:06And the Mets have lost 11 straight.
08:08They didn't play last night.
08:09They'll play at home.
08:11They start a nine-game homestand tonight.
08:12But the Phillies and Mets combined have lost 17 straight games,
08:16which is crazy if you take a look at what those two payrolls are.
08:20Those top two payrolls in the NL East, if not the entire National League,
08:24aside from the Dodgers.
08:25Dodgers, too.
08:25They're probably two and three.
08:27But they're combined 15 and 29.
08:30And just kind of reading some things online,
08:32the Philly papers and the New York papers,
08:35they're just killing them.
08:36They're killing them.
08:37What's going on?
08:39So kind of keep an eye on that.
08:40But the Nats are third.
08:43They're six games back,
08:43but they're third in the NL East right now,
08:45which isn't horrible,
08:46considering what their payroll is
08:48and what the Phillies and Mets is.
08:50Sad story, man.
08:52Really sad.
08:54Coach K's grandson, Joe Savarino,
08:57has been charged with a misdemeanor DWI
09:01after he hit a 15-year-old riding a bike over the weekend,
09:04killed him.
09:05How's that?
09:06I don't get it.
09:07It seems weird.
09:08Yep, Savarino admitted drinking.
09:11He's 26 years old.
09:12He had a blood alcohol level of 0.11.
09:16And he did tell the cops that he was drinking
09:18before he got into the car.
09:20He's certainly over the legal limit.
09:21I think he had an issue when he was in school.
09:23If I remember correctly,
09:25there was an issue when he was in school.
09:27I can't remember what it was.
09:28It was some sort of disciplinarian issue.
09:30Really?
09:31Yes.
09:31Well, his brother, Michael Savarino,
09:33who was a walk-on on Duke,
09:34also had a DWI.
09:36Well, that's who I'm referring to.
09:37That's who I'm referring to.
09:37It's his brother.
09:38Yeah, yeah.
09:38That's who I'm referring to.
09:39His brother was charged with a DWI in 2022,
09:42sentenced to 12 months of probation.
09:43But the victim was Jack O'Shea,
09:4615 years old,
09:47riding a bike,
09:48killed in Durham
09:49by Coach K's grandson.
09:50That's like your worst nightmare.
09:52Oh.
09:52Yeah, your worst nightmare.
09:53You get that call,
09:54and he just destroys your life.
09:55Yeah.
09:56If you're the parent.
09:56I mean, I just,
09:57I can't even imagine.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Right?
10:00You try to,
10:01all you can do is instill your kids,
10:03pay attention,
10:04do the right things,
10:05you know.
10:06Even let's just take the drinking part out of it,
10:08which is outrageous.
10:09Still worry about them,
10:10you know,
10:11paying attention
10:11and being locked in
10:12and not,
10:13you know.
10:14I know I was driving the other day
10:15and,
10:16you know,
10:17there was like a parked car
10:18on the side of the road
10:18and a guy working on it
10:19and,
10:20you know,
10:20he was really close
10:21to the freaking highway.
10:21You know,
10:22you really shouldn't be
10:23doing a lot of stuff
10:24when you're facing the traffic,
10:27you know what I'm saying?
10:27It was on the driver's side.
10:29Right.
10:29And I'm whizzing by the guy,
10:30it's dark,
10:31and I'm like,
10:32I can't be within a couple feet
10:33of this dude.
10:34Yeah.
10:34And I probably would have been
10:36my fault on some level.
10:37I don't know.
10:38It was dark.
10:39I couldn't see him.
10:41Yeah.
10:41I mean,
10:41it's got to be so careful.
10:43You've been drinking,
10:44you know,
10:44you probably had four or five drinks,
10:45whatever,
10:45and you got a .11.
10:46.11,
10:47we can tell you from experience,
10:48it's pretty hammered.
10:50You're pretty hammered.
10:51You're pretty hammered
10:51at a .11.
10:52I mean,
10:52that's like at the end
10:53of a drinking show for cakes.
10:55Yeah.
10:56It might be a little low.
10:56Think about it.
10:57He's way higher.
10:58I was way past that number,
10:59but yeah.
10:59You were?
11:00What was your number?
11:00It was like a .2 or something.
11:03It was up there.
11:04I think I was around the .11.
11:06He was like .18, .19.
11:08Sometimes that could depend
11:09on when he had his last drink.
11:10The point is,
11:10a .1,
11:11you shouldn't be anywhere
11:12near a vehicle.
11:13You're drunk.
11:14Well, you know it.
11:14People should be like,
11:15hey,
11:16let's get you a Lyft,
11:17or let's get you a ride home.
11:19Yeah.
11:19You know,
11:19somebody needs to step in.
11:21Yeah.
11:21I mean,
11:21you need to be responsible yourself,
11:23but I mean,
11:24are you out with friends?
11:25Can somebody help you out?
11:27Take your keys away
11:28so you don't kill
11:29some 15-year-old kid
11:30on a bike?
11:31It's terrible.
11:35I was just watching
11:36a video of a girl
11:38who killed a wife
11:41and his husband and wife
11:43and their two-year-old daughter.
11:46I can't remember
11:46what state it was in.
11:48You know,
11:49she was drunk.
11:4950 years she got.
11:51Yeah.
11:52You know,
11:53speaking of-
11:5350 years.
11:54I can't imagine.
11:55You killed three people.
11:56Basically the death penalty.
11:57Yeah.
11:57Yeah.
11:58Speaking of awful videos,
11:59I did verify
12:01that it happened yesterday.
12:03It was one of those things
12:04I didn't know.
12:04I was just clicking
12:05and I didn't know
12:06what I was seeing.
12:07I'm sure you guys
12:08may have seen it
12:09because it was a viral video
12:10of a guy like,
12:12he got on the tarmac
12:13in like Italy.
12:14I did see it.
12:15And I'm like,
12:16what are they chasing
12:17this guy for?
12:17Like,
12:18what is he doing?
12:18And then he jumped
12:19into the engine
12:19and it just spit him out.
12:21Yeah.
12:21I didn't see that.
12:22I gotta check that out
12:23on YouTube.
12:24It was haunting.
12:26Yeah,
12:26I saw it.
12:26And I was like,
12:26I can't believe
12:27there's a warning
12:28on this video
12:29because that actually
12:30wasn't on my reels.
12:31That was just on Twitter.
12:32Yeah.
12:32It was a haunting,
12:33haunting video.
12:35Gotta YouTube that one.
12:37The guy's just
12:37kind of jogging.
12:38They're chasing him.
12:39Get him off the tarmac.
12:40Who knows what he's
12:41going to do?
12:42He's trying to find a way.
12:43He climbs up on the end.
12:44Then he runs around
12:44the other end.
12:45He just throws himself
12:46into the engine
12:46and then spits him
12:47right out.
12:48And then you see
12:49the people around him.
12:50They just get down
12:50on their,
12:51they're just,
12:52they just witness
12:52a tragedy.
12:53Yeah,
12:53they know he's dead.
12:54Yeah,
12:55I mean,
12:55they are scarred.
12:56How about the two
12:57planes in Nashville
12:58almost hit each other
12:59right above the airport?
13:01Again?
13:01I saw that happen
13:02like a week or so ago.
13:02I did hear that.
13:03That happened again?
13:03It happened,
13:04I don't know,
13:04just a couple days ago?
13:05Yeah,
13:05yeah,
13:05yeah.
13:06Yeah.
13:07Terrifying.
13:07All right,
13:08so the CBS sports crew
13:11did their seven round
13:13mock draft for each team.
13:15Nice.
13:16We're almost there,
13:17man.
13:17We're getting there.
13:18We're close.
13:18I know we've talked
13:18about mocks
