Speaker 1: they called him match right, Uh, skated all around the

Speaker 2: Have you watched one one game?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Every game?
Speaker 1: Okay, I've watched every match and and came out there
Speaker 1: and skated the cup. Let's move on the thunder going
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was a pretty good game last night, man.
Speaker 3: I really liked the fight that Minnesota showed, so that
Speaker 3: thing was over and the first quarter.
Speaker 1: Man, the first time during the playoff series, when they
Speaker 1: go to the locker room and they show Anthony Edwards
Speaker 1: leaning back in his stuffed easy chair scratching his chin,
Speaker 1: you know it's over. And they did that after the
Speaker 1: last game, and I was watching that, going, okay, he's
Speaker 1: already doing this posturing.
Speaker 2: They've given up now.
Speaker 1: I did not think that I would walk home from
Speaker 1: having cocktails with my good buddy, who I see like
Speaker 1: three times a year. If you guys ever been to
Speaker 1: the Hotel Swexon, man, it's too fancy for me.
Speaker 2: I think I have been there actually with Mary Siroy.
Speaker 1: So yes, it is very It's not very far from
Speaker 1: where the Siroys lives. It's right around the corner. They
Speaker 1: call it the Swecson because it's a mixture of Swedish
Speaker 1: and Texan.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 1: Anyways, my buddy works down there, and uh we live
Speaker 1: crazy separate lives. But I've known since I was sick,
Speaker 1: so I just want to go hang with him, you know,
Speaker 1: try to find time. So we met down there because
Speaker 1: you know, I can get down there in fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: from here. And uh, sat down we were, you know,
Speaker 1: having our cocktails or whatever. Avery Johnson comes walking in.
Speaker 1: Whoa Maverick. Great does a lot of business in Dallas.
Speaker 1: So I got to introduced my buddy to Avery.
Speaker 2: That was cool.
Speaker 1: Then you know, we seven o'clock's all right, we better
Speaker 1: get our asses home. I'm gonna go have dinner with
Speaker 1: the wife. He's gonna go have dinner with his lady friend.
Speaker 1: I've walked in the house. By the time I walked
Speaker 1: in the house, the I'm sorry, the thunder were already
Speaker 1: up thirty.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, are we not even gonna try
Speaker 2: or not? I knew this was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: It was I think what I saw it. It was seventy eight.
Speaker 3: To forty That's what I'm worried about tonight with the
Speaker 3: Stars even like we get down, we need tom cruise.
Speaker 2: But when you're at home, you try. So the Stars
Speaker 2: will try tonight. Okay, what are you basic? Minnesota?
Speaker 3: Though? You could tell yeah, because they played great in
Speaker 3: Game four and they they had a really good chance
Speaker 3: to win Game four. Yeah, they kind of had a
Speaker 3: feeling like, okay, right, we're not gonna we They had
Speaker 3: a fight here, that's a day.
Speaker 2: Hey, that's an excruciating loss. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You shoot the wault like they did and lose that game, yeah,
Speaker 3: because that.
Speaker 1: Would have tied up the damn series. Everything changes crazy tonight.
Speaker 1: We'll have Nicks and Pacers. No, yeah, Nix and Patris
Speaker 1: PACER's going for the for the closer. Yeah, tonight is
Speaker 1: the CID five. Yeah, Pacers up three. We'll see if
Speaker 1: the Knicks tried. The Knicks will be at home, so
Speaker 1: they will try.
Speaker 3: Okay, but they're starting to get motivated to go to
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City and like you're in Oklahoma City and try
Speaker 3: your best. The Knicks tonight at home, they're gonna try.
Speaker 3: In fact, they're gonna take it to game six. Oh
Speaker 3: you think so? I would love a seven game series.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't because now I wouldn't, because I mean, Game
Speaker 3: sevens are great. But if we want some siwhats of
Speaker 3: an interesting NBA Finals, then we need the Pacers to win,
Speaker 3: get some rest, and then these teams are fresh.
Speaker 1: I would say in this case that rest doesn't matter
Speaker 1: because the only way either one of these teams stands
Speaker 1: a chance against the Oklahoma City Thunder is if it's
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers and they're just on a heater, Like
Speaker 1: the Pacers are a wild ass offensive team and they
Speaker 1: have games where they hit like forty five percent of
Speaker 1: their threes and they're unbeatable if they're gonna if either
Speaker 1: one of these teams and that. I actually think the
Speaker 1: Knicks are a better team than the Pacers, but the
Speaker 1: Pacers are gonna win this series. I think the Pacers
Speaker 1: have a better chance of competing with the Thunder, but
Speaker 1: only if they shoot out of their fricking mind. I
Speaker 1: don't think the Knicks stand a chance against the Thunder.
Speaker 1: I think they will snuff them out and murder them
Speaker 1: on live television. I think the Pacers stand a chance
Speaker 1: if their wild ass style of basketball leads them to
Speaker 1: make three point shots. Okay, so and that's my two
Speaker 1: cent on the Ncaah, I.
Speaker 3: Have two minutes on Rangers real quick. Okay, what's happening
Speaker 3: with them is kind of amazing, right, it's also terrible. Yep,
Speaker 3: it's kind of amazing. So when this series started against
Speaker 3: Toronto on Monday night, Josh Smith let off the first
Speaker 3: inning and got a base hit. The Rangers for the
Speaker 3: rest of the series scored three runs total and only
Speaker 3: had twelve hits.
Speaker 2: But they got to win in there. They got to
Speaker 2: win in there one to nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they took a shutout to win last night at
Speaker 3: zero zero, go into the night they cannot score a run.
Speaker 2: It's amazed. Good baseball. And now there is a pretty
Speaker 2: big talk.
Speaker 3: Evan Grant's got a big article and it's like, at
Speaker 3: some point meritocracy can't matter, Marcus Simeon, who's being paid
Speaker 3: a lot of meritocracy has to matter. What's meritocracy?
Speaker 1: Meritocracy is when you get you get the work because
Speaker 1: of the merit of your work.
Speaker 3: Yeaheah, Okay, somebody I've heard that word years, So I'm.
Speaker 1: Saying it doesn't matter anymore. Oh right, now it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter because they're not hitting.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And that's what they're kind of they they're
Speaker 3: having this dance in their head right now is do
Speaker 3: we have to take a Doley Scarcia arguably the heartbeat
Speaker 3: of the team, and then maybe you're kind of captain
Speaker 3: guy Marcus Simeon yep out of the lineup because they're
Speaker 3: so gosh damn bad.
Speaker 1: But we still Seeker still out right. Siger was back
Speaker 1: last night, okay, and he came back with a good
Speaker 1: over four happens.
Speaker 2: Man, he's been sitting around.
Speaker 3: Evan Carter's going to be back next week like they
Speaker 3: still haven't had any games with the offense. But dude,
Speaker 3: Simeon and Garcia are a mess now. They're putting the
Speaker 3: team in awful position.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Evan Carter, did you guys see Garrett Wood
Speaker 1: at the BFD.
Speaker 2: Show on Sunday? And it looks just like him. It's
Speaker 2: crazy every get but Dicky Talkie's all over all professional.
Speaker 1: The guy who's worked with us looks just like Evan Carter.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, KT, that's good sports. So the
Speaker 1: Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point one, The Eagle
Speaker 1: coming up next. We got some news audio for you
Speaker 1: because you guys need to hear about these toads in Florida.
