00:00Some good sports last night.
00:01Should we address the elephant in the room right off the top here?
00:04Yeah, yeah.
00:06Ryan, get the hot dog hat.
00:09What was the final score in Knicks Sixers?
00:12137 to 98.
00:14Something like that.
00:15Yeah, 137 to 98.
00:16Did your 7.5 cover?
00:18It did not.
00:19Ryan took the Sixers at plus 7.5.
00:23Plus 7.5.
00:24And JP and I both felt that their legs would be a little tired.
00:28They lost 137 to 98.
00:31It was never close.
00:33So he took them being given 7.5.
00:36And they lost by 30 anyway.
00:3930 plus.
00:40They lost by 39 points.
00:42So 31.5 they lost by with the points.
00:45They didn't cover 7.5 in any quarter.
00:48They lost every quarter by at least 8 points.
00:49So therefore, you have to wear the hat the whole damn show.
00:52I mean, that's an all-time bad bet.
00:53This may be a week thing.
00:55Rest of the week.
00:55I mean, I might have to.
00:58Let me just defend myself real quick.
01:00You can't.
01:01Fire away.
01:02Let me defend myself.
01:03Let me defend myself.
01:04It's like somebody's head is cut off.
01:05You got the axe.
01:07And you holding it in your hand with blood all over you.
01:09But if you want to defend yourself.
01:10Have you seen the guy that drives the...
01:13What's that show called, White Brian?
01:14The guy that drives the hot dog mobile into the store.
01:17And he's wearing the hot dog outfit.
01:19He's like, I don't know who did it.
01:20We got to find this guy.
01:21It's the Tim Robinson show.
01:23I don't know what it's called.
01:25I think you should leave.
01:26Yeah, or something like that.
01:28Whatever that is, is Stallion trying to defend himself on arguably the worst bet in the hot dog hat era.
01:35I think it probably is the worst bet in the hot dog hat era.
01:37But let me just say this.
01:39It wasn't as bad as the final score may indicate.
01:42Hell, yes it was.
01:44It wasn't as bad.
01:45I watched that whole game from start to finish.
01:47Dude, it was at 20 at halftime.
01:50I know, but it felt as if the Sixers could come climbing back.
01:54No.
01:54Jalen Brunson was lights out.
01:56I didn't account for that.
01:57That was bad.
01:58It was bad.
01:58It was a bad bet.
01:59I think everybody was lights out.
02:02They gave up 75 at halftime.
02:04Yeah.
02:05It was bad.
02:06It was bad.
02:07I legit think the halftime score was 74 to 50.
02:1251.
02:13They gave up 41 points in the second quarter.
02:15This dude, he's tripping.
02:17Let's go for some stats here.
02:18Get the hot dog hat on.
02:20All right, Knicks.
02:21Without a head condom.
02:23Brunson had 35.
02:25Ananobi had 18.
02:28Towns had 17.
02:29Now that's a problem because he didn't even play well and they beat y'all.
02:3317 for Bridges.
02:36Can I give you some plus minus?
02:38Yeah, Hart was just, Hart was killing him stealing and setting up stuff.
02:43Josh Hart was a plus 24 plus minus.
02:46Okay.
02:46Can I give you, there it is.
02:48You look great, Stan.
02:51You suggested the hats.
02:52I'm glad you have to wear it.
02:54All right.
02:54They were all plus.
02:56Nobody was a minus on that team.
02:57I said this yesterday and I still think this is going to be a series.
03:02I thought the Sixers would get their doors blown off last night.
03:04The extent of the door blowing off-ness would surprise me, but this was the outcome I expected.
03:10I still think this is going to be a series.
03:11Okay?
03:12Okay.
03:13But I said yesterday when we had David Aldridge on the line and DA knows more about hoops.
03:18DA has forgotten more about hoops than I'll ever know.
03:20Yeah.
03:20But I think you can make an argument the Sixers have the better starting five than the Knicks.
03:26The Knicks have a lot more depth.
03:28Last night they did not.
03:30I say this.
03:32The one statement he said yesterday that stuck with me was, you have to have been there.
03:38This crew here, Paul George has been there, but he's in and out every damn other year, to be honest
03:45with you.
03:45Playoff P.
03:46When was those Pacers runs?
03:48That was like 15 years ago.
03:49And Embiid has not been there.
03:51Has not been there.
03:53Maxie has not been there.
03:54Kelly Oubre hasn't been there.
03:56He was here.
03:57He definitely hadn't been there.
03:58Edgecombe is just a rookie.
03:59So, yes, they may have talent.
04:02They don't have experience.
04:04And I'm telling you, when you watch that damn game last night, those boys from Villanova can play.
04:10Yeah.
04:12They can play.
04:13Just real quick.
04:17Yeah, Villanova, yeah.
04:19All right, Stallion.
04:21I'm going to just run through the starting five.
04:23And this is a little on me because I talked about how good I thought the Sixers starting five was.
04:28Kelly Oubre, Jr., who we determined yesterday was the 15th pick by the Wizards in 2015.
04:32He can play some D, though.
04:34Minus 25, plus minus last night.
04:36Didn't play no D last night.
04:37Paul George.
04:38Playoff P.
04:40All he does is shoot.
04:41Minus 26 last night.
04:43He was 3-0-4 early from three-point range.
04:45Joel Embiid, former MVP, the catalyst to the comeback.
04:4930-30 plus the game before.
04:51Minus 24 last night.
04:53Yeah.
04:53Looked like it.
04:54He was lipping since, like, the first three minutes.
04:58Vijay Edgecombe, the second-year player that there's so much excitement about.
05:02Minus 15.
05:04Tyrese Maxey, who people want to say is a top-10 player in the NBA.
05:09Minus 28.
05:10Jay, that's your starting five, and their plus-minus collectively is well over minus 100.
05:17That's a blowout, dude.
05:19It's a blowout.
05:20I mean, I guess there's no defending myself at this point.
05:23Yeah.
05:23There's not.
05:24I mean, there's no way around it.
05:27Edgecombe's a rookie, Jay.
05:29He's good.
05:30I thought he was two years ago.
05:3125.
05:32Oh, okay.
05:33He was right before Trey, right?
05:34Came out with Bailey.
05:35Was he the fourth?
05:36Came out of Baylor.
05:37The third pick behind the net pulling the flag.
05:39He was third.
05:40And then Trey was fifth, correct?
05:42Okay.
05:44The other game that caught my attention.
05:47Huh?
05:48Timberwolves.
05:48I had them plus.
05:50You liked them with the points.
05:51Did you think they'd win?
05:52I didn't know if they would win, but I thought they were not going to get blown out.
05:57And early in that game, they were just sticking around too much.
06:02You know?
06:03And I just felt like, okay, y'all keep letting them hang around.
06:06One thing about Ant, Ant got the dog in him.
06:09He's a killer.
06:10He is not like all these other dudes that want to shy away, want to find a way to go
06:14rest.
06:15I think they're trying to find excuses as to why.
06:17They're always looking to get out of, well, I wouldn't know on the court.
06:20That dude want to play.
06:21Well, and he's not getting like his full minutes right now either.
06:24He was a little banged up, but you still need somebody on your team that believes no matter what.
06:32Mike Conley?
06:34Mike Conley is good, bro.
06:36Is Mike Conley my age?
06:38Mike Conley might be 55 years old.
06:39Yo, I remember him playing at Ohio State.
06:42Who was the big center?
06:43Greg Oden?
06:44Odom?
06:45Greg Oden.
06:46And they lost to the Florida Gators.
06:48He was 55 when he was in college.
06:49Remember Joe Kim Noah was from Belgium and kept talking about Brooklyn represent?
06:53Do you remember how annoying Joe Kim Noah got on the second year?
06:56Like the first Gators team that was a wagon was so fun.
07:00Al Horford and stuff.
07:01And then Joe Kim Noah became this cartoon character.
07:03I'm sure maybe he was 20 years old and had the world on a string.
07:06Like I might become a cartoon character too.
07:09Mike Conley's got to be 38.
07:11He came into the league in 2013.
07:1438.
07:16And Mike Conley don't look like it or play like it.
07:19No.
07:20What?
07:20His father a track star?
07:21Yeah, he was a triple jumper.
07:22He's got good stock.
07:25Conley last night.
07:26What's crazy is this felt so low scoring still ends up being 104-102.
07:33But Gobert is a difference maker in this series.
07:39Like the way the Timberwolves.
07:41That's something that Dave said yesterday too.
07:42Dude, like we were talking in the bullpen before we started,
07:48we were talking about the old Knicks teams and how like Deshaun became a Knicks fan.
07:52And those old Knicks teams never broke through and won, right?
07:56Patrick Ewing never won a title.
07:57But the way Starks played, the way Oakley played, like when they had Anthony Mason who seemed bona fide nuts.
08:05Like that team kind of reminds me of this T-Wolves team.
08:08Ant is better than Starks ever was.
08:10But just the extreme, and I mean this in the best use of the word, arrogance in his own ability
08:16to play hoops,
08:17and the confidence and the swagger and the physicality and like, what is ahead of feistiness?
08:26Because they're not feisty.
08:27They're the next rung up the ladder.
08:28They want, I remember Ant one night did an interview with SVP, and he's like, I want to kill everybody.
08:35Like that's their mentality as a team.
08:38And that's dangerous.
08:38They got AA, and I'm going to talk about, they got the AA like Coach Gibbs talking about,
08:41I'm not talking about alcohol anonymous, I'm talking about athletic arrogance.
08:45Sure.
08:46You got to always believe you're the best out there.
08:48And they have that.
08:50Like you look at Gobert, he played 20-something minutes, no, like 19 minutes or 20 minutes, whatever it is.
08:55But he scored, well, he played 20-
08:59He had 30 minutes, 7 points.
09:0129 minutes, 7 points, but guess what, Wemmeyama had 11 points.
09:06He scored 11 points in a game, they're not winning.
09:09Look this up.
09:10What does Gobert weigh?
09:12Because you see a lot of tall, skinny, skinny, skinny dudes in the NBA.
09:17Gobert ain't one of them.
09:18Gobert is 7'1", 258.
09:22What does Wemmey weigh?
09:23207?
09:25He's 7'4", 7'5".
09:27I bet they list him at 215, maybe.
09:29And he is 200, they say 35.
09:32No chance.
09:33That height, that's what makes it.
09:35Yeah, I mean, I get it, but Gobert's going to body him in a way.
09:39Gobert's got less three, he got three inches less, and he weighs 27 pounds more.
09:44I will take the over in those measurements, too.
09:48That's going to be a series.
09:49I think both of these will.
09:51I don't have a lot of it.
09:54I think the Thunder with the young legs versus LeBron, I think the Thunder could win that
10:00one pretty handily.
10:02But Knicks 6 is going to be a series.
10:04And DA kind of got me into watching Pistons-Cavs.
10:07I was pretty dismissive of watching much of that.
10:11But we're going to do our GOATS segment today, right?
10:14And the topic is point guards.
10:17You mean ever?
10:18Ever.
10:19Well, they're not playing right now.
10:20One of them been out for a long time.
10:22Well, save it for GOATS.
10:23But talking about the Pistons in the second round of the playoffs had me thinking about
10:30some point guards once upon a time.
10:31There's some players out there.
10:32Oh, hell yeah.
