Wemby Painted Central Park Then Cooked MSG

Madison Square Garden had everything except calm: sky-high ticket prices, wall-to-wall celebrity buzz, heightened security with the President in attendance, and a Knicks team up 2-0 with the city already daydreaming about a parade. Then San Antonio walked in and turned Game 3 into a reality check. We react to the moment the Finals became a real series, starting with the idea that pressure doesn’t always show up as fear, sometimes it shows up as tight shoulders, rushed shots, and a shaky first quarter.

From there, we dig into the game inside the game: New York’s massive second-quarter surge, the swingy stretches that define playoff basketball, and the five minutes to start the third quarter that quietly decided the night. Victor Wembanyama was the headline, not just for the points, but for the poise. We talk efficiency, free throws, defense, and the way he steadies teammates when the building gets loud. We also hit the supporting cast: key minutes from Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper, plus De’Aaron Fox delivering timely defense and clutch buckets even while clearly limited.

On the Knicks side, we get honest about the red flags. Karl-Anthony Towns needs a louder impact, and Jalen Brunson’s 32 feels like the hardest 32 you’ll ever see because the Spurs’ size keeps leaning on him. The biggest debate is coaching: Brunson’s fourth foul, the long bench stint, and whether that window handed San Antonio the run that flipped the game. Game 4 now feels like the series hinge, and we make our calls on how this ends.

Welcome And Why Game 3 Matters

SPEAKER_00 0:02

All right, all right. Welcome into the hoops rehab show after game three of the NBA finals. Eric, we have a series. How are you doing?

SPEAKER_02 0:13

I was you took the words out of my mouth. We exactly we do have a series. Um, although I thought New York would, you know, probably handle business one of these two games, game three or four. Uh kind of glad, obviously, that at least Spurs won a game, and we know at the very least it's gonna go back to San Antonio on Saturday, I believe. Um, so yeah, it's uh I know we're gonna lot to unpack, but a great, great performance, obviously, by the Spurs. And this time uh they were able to finish it off.

SPEAKER_00 0:45

Yeah, I mean, it's it's what you want to see in the NBA finals, especially with how the first two games have gone. Like it's been a great final so far. Like intense. You've had runs from both teams. Spurs have had at least a 12-point lead in every single game, so you know that they're in the series. So you you didn't want the series to become 3-0 and just be like, all right, it's over. You know, history says nobody repeats and nobody does anything, nobody's ever won four in a row in a playoff series. So uh I'm glad we're gonna see a game three, a game four with money on the line, pretty much, and and see what happens. Could be the series, but yeah, let's get let's get into

New York Hype And Distraction Question

SPEAKER_00 1:28

it, man. So I thought, well, number one, let's get into the hoopla leading up into game three. Right? So we had a lot of things going on. First finals game in New York and since '99, right? You got the ticket prices that were up to 10,000 at least minimum to kind of get into, or that's what they were saying. Um, you had the president of the United States gonna be attending, so then you had extra, extra security around the fences everywhere. The normal block parties that they would have weren't really going on in the area that they normally have it, but they had them all throughout the city. So that was that. Eric, I'm gonna ask you one question before we kind of get into it. Do you think that this was a distraction for the New York Knicks game three with all the things going on?

SPEAKER_02 2:26

I I think you know, I don't know if you want to call it distraction or call it getting be maybe being maybe being a little tight, um, or all the above. But I so obviously the games are decided, you know, between the lines, like on the court, uh, and I'm and I really truly believe that. But sometimes there is like a game between the game or within the game, I should say. And I I remember last show I talked about where I think maybe San Antonio might run into a buzzsaw in the beginning of this game. But the more the weekend went by, I kind of started thinking, like, man, this just seems so long, even though it was just obviously three, I guess, almost full days. But something about this buildup, right? Uh Spurs were uh down two-o, Knicks up two. Oh, coming back to New York, haven't won it in years, um, since the early 70s. You heard a lot of like New York uh folk, you know, just people that have been Knicks fans for a long time, they could taste it. They're talking about like a parade this weekend. I I was listening to uh someone, right? Yeah, exactly. And it just got me thinking, like uh obviously with president uh Donald Trump, right? It uh being there too. Um, it really started making me think like, man, this is just a lot. And I'm I kind of feel good about San Antonio. You got uh Wemby like sitting in Central Park painting. I don't know if you saw that, yeah. Um, right, kind of relaxed. And you know, I know you gotta go in there and you gotta play, but something about just the feelings of this past weekend and the game finally getting here. I'm really not surprised the Spurs came

First Half Swings And Early Tightness

SPEAKER_02 4:07

out um and threw the first punch, and obviously ultimately won't like wait, what are your thoughts? I'm assuming. I mean, you gotta think it has to have a somewhat of an effect.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

Yeah, I I I thought the pressure was always gonna be on the Knicks this game, yeah. Right. Like, I didn't think the pressure was on the Spurs, even though it's like it should have been, but it wasn't.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

It was weird.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

Like, and I feel like, yes, the Spurs are the youth kind of showed and some inexperience showed in in games one and two the the ability to close out a game. But you have a get your leader who's the calmest of everybody, right? Like he talks about it. Yes, I made a mistake, I'm gonna hold myself accountable. Yeah, do I believe we're gonna win? Of course, I believe we're gonna win, right? And then he's out there painting like whatever he's gonna do, yeah, right? Like calm. He's he went training with the monks over the summer, like some of that is gonna play dividends, right? Yeah, now I thought in the first quarter they just looked tight, the Knicks, right? And that and that's first kind of came out to an advantage. And and once you kind of give that like beginning punch, you know this is gonna be a dog fight, you know this is gonna be a game. And when the Spurs and then when the when the Knicks started doing their thing and they went on the run in the second quarter, they're like, All right, that's New York basketball, right? Yeah, there's a big play when Steven Castle, you know, got offensive foul against um Jalen Brunson, kind of knocked him on his butt, and they went on a gosh, what was it? I think the Spurs were up by four, and then they closed the half and the Knicks were up by seven, right? So it was like a huge 11-point swing. But what did San Antonio do in that third quarter? They literally came out and said, now we're not gonna lose this. And Wemby went to work. Uh Steven Castle had a big first half, right? Like that was huge for them. And they got some big buckets by Dylan Harper in the second, in the third quarter, they got big buckets by even though he had a not such a big game or anything, but De'Aaron Fox had some good plays down the stretch defensively, and also buckets that he needed in the clutch in the fourth. Um, and that's what you want to see out of the veteran. I know he's not where he is, he's not 100% at all with that high ankle sprain, but he came through at the end, and we were talking about you know, should you change the starting lineup, right? Should Dylan Harbour get more minutes? And he got 32 minutes, and a lot of those are pretty effective, but his shot wasn't on like always, right? He was pretty, I think he was one for one for eight from three from three. Yeah, so he kind of shot a lot of threes, which is I would say that's a little more uncharacteristic of him because he's usually getting to the rim or getting to the basket and attacking. Um, but he did have a lot of good minutes in there, right? And they needed that, every one of them.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

Yeah, I mean, uh everything you know I said about obviously the Spurs coming out and winning the game. Um, I mean, I'll be honest, when the Knicks went on that 42 to 24 run in the second quarter, yeah, I truly thought, like, okay, so they took San Antonio's best punch, and um, it's gonna just be it's just the Knicks' time. Um, but that first five minutes or so of the third quarter, I think was just so crucial in this game, in this series, where New York was up seven. Does it go to 11 or 12 and and San Antonio starts to really fill it? Or does San Antonio come back like that, which they did?

Spurs Third Quarter Response And Clutch Plays

SPEAKER_02 7:35

And um I I that's exactly what happened. Obviously, you know, we talk about it, the make or miss league type of thing, and and Spurs were so close to winning game two, they missed a big shot. Uh, this time De'Aaron Fox hit that big, big shot, I believe, to go up five. Uh, you know, obviously within 30 or so or so seconds, or I think 12 seconds or so. Um, I know Knicks hit a couple threes and then made it, made it a free throw game, and and obviously Spurs stepped up and hit some big free throws. But yeah, it was just the cool, calm collectedness of Wemby. Um, he obviously showed out 32 points. Um, and uh you talked about Dylan Harper. I know sometimes on the road you you know just soften don't shoot as well. Um, but he obviously still still was a big part of of the game. And so uh where the where the Spurs really couldn't make the big plays in games one and two, maybe they've figured something out um here in game three.

SPEAKER_00 8:31

Yeah, I mean overall, like San Antonio did what they needed to do obviously to win the game. Yeah, I thought Wimby, I mean, I know he's had some heroic performances in the playoffs so far, obviously the game one against OKC, double overtime game, but I would put this performance in New York, the pressure of what you need to do to win, as his best performance in playoffs. I mean, he was what 11 for 18, you know, didn't shoot a lot, a ton of shots, but was so efficient where he was. 89 from the free throw line, you know, still had his usual performance on defense, right? Boards and blocks and causing missed shots. Um and and I thought that was huge. And just like the whole game, he looked so confident, like nothing looked like he was gonna be deterred from when even when they went on the run in the in the second quarter, the Knicks. It's like, no, we're good, like we're gonna be all right. You saw him picking up his teammates. So I I man, like, yes, we talked about some youth stuff and inexperience in game two, but this dude does not play like a third-year player, like he is so much more mature, and I think that maturity helped a ton in game three.

SPEAKER_02 9:47

Yeah, if they I was thinking if they come back and win this thing, that picture of him in Central Park with his with his sister is gonna like just live on forever. Imagine like you can see them like superimposing like an Eiffel Tower in the back or something. I mean um it, you know, right? I mean, just talk about like I like I said, just the craziness of New York, right? And just the the fanfare, like the Knicks just being oh so close, and they still are oh so close. And then you got like the big fella, uh you know, young cat, like just um obviously not like the moment is not like is not too big for him. I I don't that's the one thing that if they I don't know if he's win or lose. Um, you know, maybe we thought game two the moment was a little bright, perhaps. Yeah, I think just in general, I don't I don't think that's gonna be the case. I think it's gonna be one um between the dotted lines, and we'll see. I think game four, things are gonna settle down a bit. You've got your one finals game in New York over with, right? It hadn't been one in 27 years there since that game five against the Spurs la uh last time. Um, and it's still gonna be a rocking crowd, but I just think it's like I don't know, just maybe a breath of fresh air, uh, especially for the Knicks uh going into next game, and obviously for the Spurs too, who I think at this point it's like you know, I don't want to put it out there, but I it feels like game four winner, you know, could be the could be the team that wins this

Wemby’s Composure And Best Playoff Game Case

SPEAKER_02 11:15

thing.

SPEAKER_00 11:15

Yeah, it'd be pretty interesting. Now getting to the Knicks, I I thought there were some crucial things that happened in this game.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 11:23

I thought number one, Kat needed to have a big game, and he got sorely outplayed by Wimby tonight. Right, like he just wasn't really effective on the court, like in a way of like you didn't notice them, right? I mean he shot 10 shots, four for 10, 11 points. Like you definitely need more out of him in order to win this series. Um, he's gotta get it, he's gotta have a big game. Like, yes, he's been effective, like with his 18, 16, you know, that type of like team points, and they're all playing, you know, they they share the ball, they do really well with like passing the ball around the on the around the court, but I need him to have a big game, right? Brunson obviously had 32, but I feel like it was the hardest 32 he ever got, right?

SPEAKER_02 12:13

Like he all three all three games, they've really been making him work.

SPEAKER_00 12:19

All right, and like his uh his field goal percentage, like just the how many shots he's taking in this series is up there with a lot. Like he's not getting to the free throw line. I would say, like, like I would I would say he would normally get a little bit more calls, but they're making it very, very tough for him throughout this series. Right? So, like yeah, he's shooting 37% from field goal in the series, right? There you go. That's not good. That's not Jalen Brunson. And and the Spurs guards are huge, right? Steven Castle's a strong dude. Um, Dylan Harper, his length is bothering Jalen Brunson, and even Darren Fox is a good defender, right? Like he's no slouch of a defender. I think they're gonna have to figure out a way to take some off his plate and have Kat involved a little bit more, and then now open up Brunson um and game four and and for the rest of the series.

SPEAKER_02 13:15

Yeah, I mean, I think we're we don't we don't uh we're we're seeing in the first few games that it's it's really tough right now for Brunson. And I think it could be a concern, like as the series rolls on and it goes to six, seven, whatever. Um, you know, is he gonna be a little bit of like a shell of himself? Because he's he's getting beat up out there. Has he had a couple of really good performances still? Yeah, and that's what really, really good players do and great players. Um, but yeah, I mean, with it all the talks were about if if the series ended after two games, which it never does, that maybe Kat was the finals MVP. And I don't know if he kind of read too much into it again. A long weekend of just hearing a lot, right? A lot, a lot, exactly. I think your facial expression has said it all.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

And I'm trying to figure out who was talking about cat being the finals MVP.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Yeah, yeah, it was it was it was out there, like because Brunson has had uh obviously an off kind of series, okay. Um, and you know, the two the consistency was, I guess, cat for the first two games.

SPEAKER_00 14:18

Yeah, true.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

Well, he did play well the first two games, like you said, not like a tremendous you know, number or offensive, you know, oh, he got 30 or anything like that. Um, but I think tonight we kind of saw like a little bit of the the you know, we've seen the good and the bad of cat. And so he doesn't need to play seven

Knicks Problems: KAT Quiet And Brunson Grind

SPEAKER_02 14:37

good games, but he needs to play four, right, out of the seven. And so, yes, I think him um he'll take a little bit of pressure off of uh obviously Brunson. Um trying to think who I mean who else can do that. I mean, hey, look, OG uh Anobi had a had a tremendous game. And um, I mean, Nick's, you know, next Nick's had some spurts where they played well for sure. Uh you know, Shaman obviously, who was a little bit of a hero in game two, he was you know one for eight and one for seven for three. And that's the thing with these role players, right? You're you gotta if you can get a game out of them and they win a game for you, that's all you can really ask for. And so I think it's gonna come down to Carl, Carl Anthony Towns, and obviously, if uh you know Jalen Brunson's gonna have one of those one of those like kind of legendary games, you know, at this point.

SPEAKER_00 15:26

Yeah.

The Brunson Foul Trouble Coaching Decision

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Um, I wanted to get to uh I thought was a pivotal moment in the game. Jalen Brunson picked up his fourth foul with I think 439 to go in the third quarter.

SPEAKER_01 15:40

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

He did not, let's see, when did he get back in the game? He did not come back into the game until 918 in the fourth. Wow. That's a long ass time, Eric. I mean, you're talking about a huge swing in the game where Jalen Brunson did not go in because of four fouls. I get holding him out for that third quarter, right? You know, yeah, four minutes to go, let him go, let you guys kind of do go to work and give him that rest. But to start the fourth quarter, I thought he should have been in, and I thought that Mike Brown actually waited too long to put him in. Um I'm not saying it's like the worst mistake you can make, but I thought if you're gonna you got a guard with four fouls, you kind of trust him, let him start the fourth quarter, and if for some reason you were to pick up that fifth foul earlier, then you kind of give them a little break and then kind of bring him back for the last you know six, five minutes of the game or whatnot. Uh, I thought that was a huge opportunity that was missed by the New York Knicks, especially trying to close out this series.

SPEAKER_02 16:46

Yeah, I'm kind of looking to see. Yeah, I mean, look, so um the it was about a at that point in the third quarter, was it kind of going back and forth? And um bam, all of a sudden in that stretch, a little bit into the fourth, the Spurs went up about eight points, right? And then they obviously took it to 10, 11. And so um, we can kind of look at that and say, I mean, he's obviously not gonna play 48 minutes a game and he's gonna have to get his rest. But uh, I wonder obviously with fouls, it's a little bit tricky because you, you know, obviously if he you put him in the very beginning of the fourth, he picks up his fifth, he's probably out until the four or five minute mark. But I mean, and the honestly, like it's it's I don't have to tell you this, it's obviously a huge game, and you kind of gotta do things a little different than you would in like in a regular season. And so I think just the proof is in the pudding that I mean, literally it was a one-point game, and um Spurs brought it up to about eight or nine in that stretch, right? With uh with him being out. And let's be honest, I mean, that was probably the ball game because Knicks never really came back. I mean, they had a obviously a little run, but they never came back and and you know took the lead or or even tied it.

SPEAKER_00 17:59

Yeah, for sure. I I thought it was one of those moves that could cost them the game, and and it unfortunately did, right? You know, yeah, if he was who knows if he was playing those minutes where they still lost the game, probably. Yeah, I'm not saying that it's the most important. I just thought if you needed to stop a run, a team that's surging, who's the person that's gonna do that? It's Jalen Brunson, because surely Kat was not doing that tonight.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

Yeah, like I I feel like Mark Mike Brown was maybe thinking like it was a blessing in disguise where we can get him some quality minutes um on the pine just to rest up for like a last eight or nine minute push. Um, because we like I like we just talked about, he's had a real tough series. So I think he was kind of trying to kind of buy some time there, but and again, who knows what would have happened, but two or three minutes here and there can that can change a complexion of a series, and so that's literally what happened. Again, did the Knicks come back? Did they have opportunities? Yes. Um, but I would imagine, you know, just kind of knowing the way the first two games, the Spurs had to have learned something, they obviously you know shut the door um when it counted.

SPEAKER_00 19:06

Yeah, Jalen Brunson has fouled out five times in his career, right? So he knows how to play with fouls, like he's he's not he knows how to play with fouls. Yeah, so I I I I find that as a a bad mistake, but you know, hey, we're gonna move on.

SPEAKER_02 19:23

Yeah, I think if it was like a big guy, somebody in the paint, somebody that's like their you know defensive specialist or the best defensive player, uh Josh Hart or something, right? I don't know, right? I think it you think different, but yeah, good point. He's not a uh him only five fouling off five times in his career shows that he knows how to play with fouls. So yeah, but it is what it is.

What Game 4 Means And Series Predictions

SPEAKER_00 19:44

Yep. Um now the Spurs figured out a way to close the game. Yes, right. I I feel that's gonna be huge for them moving forward because they've been in every single game, they've had leads of 12 points or more in all three games, right? Now, there's never been a team in history that have lost the first two home games and have won the NBA finals, Eric.

SPEAKER_01 20:11

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_00 20:12

Can the Spurs be the first to do that?

SPEAKER_02 20:16

I think they can. Uh, I don't think it would be this big shock. I mean, it is surprising when a team loses two at home and then win the next two on the road. It's happened. I mean, I could think of a handful of times that it's kind of happened in the playoffs, definitely not in the finals, uh, at least that I know of. Um, but you know, it it does, I I've you know, just think of a few through history. Um, so it's possible. But I so I like I always well after the two after the Knicks won the first two games, it was really hard for me to pick against the Knicks as we talked about it. We want to see them lose a game because they had it in like a month and a half before anything. But now that they've lost, I'm I'm I feel comfortable kind of saying like I I really do see Knicks kind of taking care of business and winning in six. Um but you know, that being said, the question is will it be a surprise? Can it happen? Yes, it can. Will it happen? I'm still still leaning towards the on the side of uh the Knicks.

SPEAKER_00 21:19

I I find this a challenging question. One because of how young the Spurs are, yeah, but on the other side, I see a Victor Wimbiyama in this series that is not fatigued. And one of the big reasons is because of the schedule. So you got these two days, you know, these days that you're having two or three days in between, and then you have a every other day, right? Like game four would be on Wednesday, but they're not gonna play again until Saturday, and then and then Tuesday, and then Friday. So they really I'm telling you right now, if the Knicks lose game four, the Spurs are gonna win this series because Victor is gonna get the most rest the rest of the three games. If it needs to go three, right. I'm just saying, like they could win six. But if if it goes seven, he's getting rest every game. And he has not looked fatigued in this series at all. No, like you know, first game he just had a tough game shooting, but he did not look fatigued, right? Last two games he has looked as advertised and like one of the best players in the league. So I would I would caution the Knicks to don't lose game four because that would be a very, very hard game five for them in San Antonio.

SPEAKER_02 22:53

Yeah, I mean, I think as a series stretches out, it's gonna favor San Antonio, especially when you're the team that was down 0-2. And so I think this quick turnaround, that's why I talk about Wednesday being the game. Uh, so I think it favors the Knicks a bit because they've they're a well-rested team. Uh San Antonio's um, you know, been in a six-game series and a seven-game series, especially especially against the Thunder. So these like one day in between games, um, I think it's a little bit difficult for San Antonio, which is what we got here coming up Wednesday, pretty quick. But as you said, after Wednesday, literally it's Friday, Tuesday, uh, sorry, Saturday, Tuesday, Friday. And I think that favors the Spurs. Um, and yeah, don't go if you're Knicks, don't go winning two in San Antonio, then come and losing two on the road. I think it's um is it officially a rap? No, but I mean it it's as much of a like throwing away what you did the first two games as I've ever seen in a series, and so uh yeah, I I I I think winner of game four wins a series straight up, you know.

SPEAKER_00 23:57

Uh yeah, I I think that's a very fair statement because the Knicks taking advantage of 3-1. I think it will likely they'll be able to finish that off in six uh before game five, right? Yeah, but man, if those Spurs get a chance to go back to San Antonio with a 2-2, feeling like they just save their season. Man, I'm telling you, the Knicks fans are gonna be losing their shit in New York.

SPEAKER_02 24:27

It'll be nervous time for sure.

SPEAKER_00 24:29

It already is gonna be like I was watching some of the pre-game stuff and some NBA Today stuff, and you know, Nixon Ford, all the champs, Nixon for you got the mayor talking about he paid a thousand dollars to show up, you got Trump showing up, you got celebrities all over, costing seven, ten thousand dollars just to get in. I'm telling you, New York, don't do it. Yeah, you can't lose this series. The city will I mean keep okay, Eric, just imagine they they lose this series. How will this be talked about in New York? Like they'll just be so hurt, like I mean, this would be like a pure heartbreak.

SPEAKER_02 25:15

Yeah, yeah, because if if you go to the finals and you play the Thunder or something, and man, we just we lose to the Thunder in five, right? And it's like hey, or we lose to the San Antonio Spurs in five. But we when we win those first two over there in San Antonio, um and you know, we come back, and and obviously, look by them winning those first two in San Antonio, they earned the fact that they probably just needed one of uh of game three or four. Uh that's how I always see it. Like, of course, you go for the sweep, but in a lot of cases, it's like we just gotta get one of our home games now, which in a lot of other cases is like I gotta get we gotta get both, and so they've earned that. But if they come, if they end up losing the series, you know, for whatever reason, yeah, it's gonna haunt this city in terms of like uh uh uh everything around Mattisquare Square Guard for a long time. Because I'm telling you right now, this is gonna be their one shot for a while. Um, and so we gotta gotta cash in.

SPEAKER_00 26:14

Yeah, and for the Spurs, they gotta go out game four. And for them too, obviously like the same feeling they had in game three, like their season is on the line because it is right. So yeah, they have to come out and be like, you know what? We need to go back to San Antonio tied up, and we'll win the series. So I man, this series is as advertised. Uh, I feel like it's exactly what the NBA needed. Big big ass market in New York, one of the biggest global superstars right now. And it's colliding. I mean, obviously, it costs for so much to get into New York to see a game. Um, but yeah, I'm looking forward to Wednesday, Eric, and we'll see what happens.

SPEAKER_02 27:01

Yeah, no, it's proven uh honestly, you know, teams are obviously you know make viewership, but in my opinion, it it's about stars and just the next big thing. And like as you said, it so happened to be they also happen to be playing the Knicks, which is like obviously the you know the biggest market out there. And yeah, it's been good. It's been good. Uh I guess like I'm selfishly glad, you know, Spurs won because at least we at least get one more game, if not a couple more than we thought. I think it would be a shame if this obviously would have ended in a sweep or something like that. But yeah, here we are, trying to time to buckle up, and obviously Wednesday's game is is the biggest game of the season right now.

SPEAKER_00 27:39

Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be crazy. All right, before we get out of here, you got anything else to add?

That's it, other than game four is game seven.

SPEAKER_00 27:50

Oh, yeah, yeah, by far, uh the biggest game in New York's Knicks history. Ooh, like that. I'm telling you, Eric, the biggest game in their history. Like, yes, their history needs to win four, but if boy, if you don't get that third victory in game four, you guys are in trouble.

SPEAKER_02 28:11

Yes, yes, because I don't see them winning the first three in San Antonio, right? And then uh you go down three, two, you gotta come back, and maybe they at least win one of the three, and then it probably goes seven, you know. But um, but yeah, it it's yeah, gotta gotta make it happen. Um, I think it's either Knicks in six or Spurs in seven. So we'll see.

SPEAKER_00 28:33

And I know the swing of the finals gets you. Obviously, after game two, I say it's over for San Antonio. But this is why it's the NBA and it's the game we love, and it's never over until you close somebody out.

unknown 28:47

Sure.

SPEAKER_00 28:48
