The NBA Finals are officially underway, and the New York Knicks are making history. In Episode 26 of Argue Your Point, Jeff and Mason break down all the action from Games 1, 2, and 3 of the Knicks vs. Spurs Finals, including New York's stunning road victories, Jalen Brunson's clutch performances, Victor Wembanyama's breakout moments, and whether the Knicks can respond in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden.

The guys also dive into the shocking news that Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has requested a trade after 11 seasons in Hockeytown. Which destination makes the most sense, and what does this mean for the future of the Red Wings?

Mason introduces a brand-new segment, Mason's Mic Drop, where he delivers a hot take that the Knicks still haven't lived up to the legendary MSG playoff atmosphere. Does Jeff agree, or is Mason completely off base?

On the ice, the Stanley Cup Final is delivering instant classics. We recap Vegas' wild double-overtime Game 1 victory over Carolina, discuss Mitch Marner's natural hat trick, and give our predictions for the rest of the series.

Plus, Stanley Pup returns as we rank the funniest NHL dog-name puns of the year, including favorites like Jack Eichhowl, Macklin Celeweenie, Jason Slobbertson, and the No. 1 pup in hockey.

SPEAKER_01

Welcome to the Argue Your Point Podcast. Here are your hosts, Jeff Leitri, and Mason Meet.

SPEAKER_03

Alright.

SPEAKER_05

All right.

SPEAKER_03

So 26.

SPEAKER_05

26.

SPEAKER_03

We're gonna have a um good podcast here. I'll go through real quick. So we got Nick Spurs game one, two, and three. Reactions. Dylan Larkin trade requests. I'll have my game, the Mason's mic drop.

SPEAKER_04

Whoa.

SPEAKER_03

Final results and predictions. I'll have the Stanley pup. And then we'll do predictions and winners for the um PGA. And we'll do last week's winner from the game.

SPEAKER_05

Yikes, that's a big rundown. Uh should I start off the game?

SPEAKER_03

I got rid of like I got rid of like three um things.

SPEAKER_05

Should I start off with my lead? My lead in? Sure. Okay, so um last weekend I was fortunate enough to be sent to a conference in Boston, and we had time to catch a ball game. Um so we went to Fenway Park, Kevin and I. And um everyone's Kevin is Kevin is um he works with me, and uh we both do SEO and AI um stuff for for content and for yeah, for for content, for content building, for search and for AI overviews, um, LLMs like ChatGPT, things like that, Cloud.

SPEAKER_03

Alright, talk about um the pen.

SPEAKER_05

So yeah, yeah. So getting back to so that that's what brought us to Boston. But we were able to, we had time to uh watch a game before kind of before the night before the conference started. So we went to the game and it was it was pretty inexpensive to get in, only forty-five dollars, and it was really cool. You see, you just it's just like a really it's it was built in 1918 and it feels like that. It just it's just like uh takes you back in time. It's the green steel, the chunks of green sh steel is just uh it's just really cool. It's just takes you back, even though I I've never been there before. It I felt like I had been there before.

SPEAKER_03

They have a football game there too, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah, and they have hockey they've had hockey games there.

SPEAKER_03

They've Harvard Yale. Yeah, everyone's gonna be.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, they play Harvard Yale at Fenway. Really? Um yeah, it was an awesome experience. And uh I put five dollars on the guy on Boston with the short stats, which was Abreu, and I put five bucks on him in Boston to win, and he knocked that Homer in the third inning, and it was just to the left of where we were standing. So, what was really cool, just imagine this. You're in Fenway Park. I I announced that I got five bucks on this guy, hit a home run. You hear the crack of the bat, it's like the rush, the the crowd is like, ah, you could tell the gaps is different between a foul ball and a home run, you know? And the the sun was kind of right in our eye at the point, so it was really kind of hard for me as a spectator, spectator, to track the ball fully, but I could see the ball going about 12-13 rows up to my left, and I was like, boom, that's $35 if Boston finishes this game. And then um they won. Yeah, they won. They won like eight to one, almost blow up, almost a um a shutout. But uh um in the fifth inning was just all kinds of cool different things happening. The double hitting the monster, um just uh just all kinds of action enough to um you know pay the enough entertainment to pay for the ticket by far. I mean, actually, honestly, just walking in was enough for the pay for the ticket, but um that fifth inning was was was really fun. So, yeah, that's my uh Fenway Park. It should be on everyone's bucket list, even if you don't watch baseball. I guarantee you, even if you're not a baseball fan, Fenway Park um, Yankees fans and still won there. No.

SPEAKER_03

What you're a Yankees fan and still won there.

SPEAKER_05

I'm a Yankees fan, yeah. I moved for the Yankees and um Fenway Park was was awesome. I really liked it.

SPEAKER_03

All right, um, let's go on to the NYK.

SPEAKER_05

The New York Knicks go we gotta have some Knicks buttons like we had for the C.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Go New York, go New York, go.

SPEAKER_03

I'll put that in F. Okay. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, but at that point, it might be over. Who knows? But okay, so let me uh so in game one, the Knicks, they won it 105-95. Okay, wait, hold on.

SPEAKER_05

Before you get into all the technical breakdown, I just want to say game one. I was in I was in Boston. Um, I watched the end of it. I didn't watch the biggest. Game two, I was also in Boston. I watched a lot of it, but I was also hanging out and talking to Kevin and in the TV. I had to keep on pressing this button to watch it.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, all right.

SPEAKER_05

Game three, I watched it at home with you. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_03

All right. So now Nick said a 14 point second half deficit to erase to defeat the Spurs, 105-95. Now, Brunson has 30 points during 13 the fourth quarter. His a game thing jumper, 30 seconds. Do you think Brunson is the biggest factor in this series so far?

SPEAKER_05

Well, um, he's one. Uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Just come on. Any answer.

SPEAKER_05

No.

SPEAKER_03

No. Okay. Now they had the 11-0 run for the Knicks. They had home now, they have home court advantage. Basically, basically turned the game from San Antonio pumping. They had like the thing where they had all the shirts and all the collars to now it's just like next.

SPEAKER_05

It was weird at first.

SPEAKER_03

It was all you could only hear Knicks fans. That was it.

SPEAKER_05

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I mean, that's how it typically is. This was ratchet up a little bit louder. And we've seen, you know, games in Philadelphia that were mostly Knicks fans chant, you know, that was rooting for the Knicks.

SPEAKER_03

The Knicks in the uh last game in Philadelphia when they're up 3-0, it was like 60% Knicks fans.

SPEAKER_05

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, it probably would be less if it was like all the way in the other side of the country, but since it was close, probably like, I don't know, seven hour, eight-hour drive. No, that'd be like 10 hours, actually. Yeah, it's I don't know. But it's in the middle. Cat had 18 points, 12 rebounds. Well, OG had 17 points. Now they in that game they had a 12 game playoff win streak to 13 NBA history to win 12 second posting postseason game the single season. The first team to ever beat San Antonio, game one NBA finals. They were three and Josh Hart had 15 rebounds.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, those guys. That's crazy. And how many did he was that a game where he didn't have I think he had like two points. Okay, you don't have that in front of you. Yeah, he had 15 rebounds. Um yeah, which just shows you know it's not always the points. It's not there's there's a whole bunch of stats you lose.

SPEAKER_03

It's a team score, it's not like a player, it's not like the Knicks don't have like one star that outshines the rest of it. Like you can make it argument for Brunson, but every player has their own job. Yep. See, Bridges is a decent three-point shooter. Cat, great rebounds. Josh Hart, he's like the literal, he's like the um soul of the team, basically. The heart of the team. Rebounds of the OG are their best defender, he's second team all defense.

SPEAKER_05

And Hart in game three.

SPEAKER_03

And Shaman, six man, he's just played great in that game. Yeah. The bench was electric.

SPEAKER_05

Hart was dropping the threes in game three.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Alright, now we're gonna move on to game two. Don't even click the button anymore. There's like a little button. It says, Yeah, so that was just game one.

SPEAKER_05

Now we're talking game two.

SPEAKER_03

So this is so this game was crazy.

SPEAKER_05

Now game two in San Antonio.

SPEAKER_03

Brunson had 20 points. He had the go-head three point with 9.5 seconds remaining. And basically what happened was at the final seconds, it was Spurs ball. He passed it to Deer and Fox, hit Fox's uh back, or it was Castle Fox, went into Brunson's hands, and Victor Bumadama followed him out. Nick's got two free throws. I think they made the first one, then he missed the second one to waste time. Don't work. 7.5 seconds left. Okay. You're thinking here they have a great team. This could be one and one going to MSG. But they I think they do a little passing. Victor Ramadan, he's open. He's not like wide open, but it doesn't get blocked. It goes up, hits the back of the um rim. I thought I was gonna do the thing where the Halberton, who would go like all the way up and fall, but it hit it and it went out. It went into the guy's hands, he shot it, but time was up. And that was a game. That was game two.

SPEAKER_05

Game two.

SPEAKER_03

Now Spurs had a 14 point four-score deficit. And they actually had a 104102 lead for Nick's code out. I think they had like a oh like a three-pointer or two-pointer or something. Yeah, I think. Yeah, so that game, Cat had 21 points, 13 rebounds. Webinyama, 29. They had the second largest playoff winning streak, 13 games. Nick's had two O series late. What are your thoughts on the game two? Like the end, any part of it.

SPEAKER_05

Well, game two, um, I played a little putt-putt at putt shape. Well, this is what this is my thoughts on the game. So I didn't um so yeah, I had a good round of putt-putt. I I beat the three others that was in my first time. No, so so so the game um it came down to the wire. I wasn't um as attuned to it as I was game three because, like I said, I was out doing other things, and then I caught it at the end. Um it was a wire-to-wire game, and it kind of just um it it ended on that one uh play where um where Brunson um knocked it back in, it sent to inbounds, and then Webyama, I think he did have one last shot and he missed, and that's how it game ended. So yeah, it was a hard fought game. It's one of those games, you know, Webbyama makes that basket. San Antonio could have won. That's that's what's so cool about uh basketball is you know, these games they're hard fought. When when the game is over, you you look at you know, you look back, but during the game, it's like this game can go any direction. Either team can win this game. It's a good series. Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, you I mean at the beginning of the MB season, you saw it either OKC or like some other power from power from the West. But now the Knicks, they were a good uh regular season team, they weren't the greatest. And then they turned to the beast in the playoffs that you had. They they sweeped two straight teams, sweeped the team that beat the two seed, and then sweep the team that beat the one seed.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So that says something.

SPEAKER_05

But um so going back, you know, to game two is when that game was over, it's like, man, New York is up 2-0 in the NBA finals, and they're going back to New York for the first NBA Finals game since 1999, I think.

SPEAKER_03

And they haven't won it since I don't think it was 1999. Jeremy Lynn?

SPEAKER_05

That's the last time they were in the NBA Finals was 1999. So yeah. No, no, we were in the playoffs last year. But um so um s the the hype was crazy. I was kind of thinking they might lose game three just because it seems um I don't know, it's just the hype is so big. I know I know the I know the yeah what we need. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, let's let's move on to game three. All right, so game three comes around.

SPEAKER_03

So the three Celebrity Row Spurs defeated the Knicks 115 to 111 at MSG to cut the series like 2-1. Now, Vam Yama they were played a physical game, but this is the why we have Mike Brown because this is why he can switch things up instantly. Like that. You snap nice good changes, you snap for me like that. Okay, so I think we're gonna make changes, but overall that game was San Antonio's gonna make changes too. Knicks New York had their first loss in 46 days.

SPEAKER_05

So it's you know, like before last week I was telling you you asked me if I knew, you know, a bunch of guys from San Antonio. I was like, no, but I'm gonna learn some.

SPEAKER_03

Um you know some guys now. Can you name five players?

SPEAKER_05

Oh, don't don't put me on spot like that.

SPEAKER_03

Well, can you? I'm just wondering.

SPEAKER_05

No, I can't name five players, but um I can name a few and I and I recognize a few and I and I kind of started to understand their the type of play in game three that came out really physical. Um was that guy, Castle? Yeah Castle, man, he had to get 18 points in the first half. He was insane, he was on fire. It's like ever sometimes you when you watch playoff basketball, you just you see some guy just go lights out. It's like it's like you can't stop him. And if and if you if you try to intimidate him, a lot of times him or this person a person when you try to intimidate them, they just play harder and better. Yeah, get more fun. And that was Castle's game for sure. That that he had an amazing start.

SPEAKER_03

He had 23 points.

SPEAKER_05

He ended up with 23?

SPEAKER_03

He had crucial, he had a crucial three-pointer. The Spurs avoided the 3-0 deficit.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But let me show you the stats.

SPEAKER_05

But the start, the start was key, man. They they started really well.

SPEAKER_03

Now, Webinama, 32 points, eight rebound fixes, Brunson at 32, OG at 28, Castle at 23, Kat had 11 points. Now the playoff winning three and 13 games, two only. Now uh we're gonna go into game four, which is tonight at 8.30. Now Jeremy Lynn said the Knicks playoff games at MSG are so like crazy that whenever he played, you had to look down to make sure like it wasn't gonna fall. Well, like the entire arena wasn't gonna collapse. That's how crazy he was. That's how crazy. I think it's gonna be crazy tonight.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it's uh it's another game four in MSG. You know, a lot of people are saying Nixon 6, well no watch party tonight. There's watch parties all over.

SPEAKER_03

Well, yeah, there's no watch party in the arena.

SPEAKER_05

But there was one at Central Park.

SPEAKER_03

I don't think they do that anymore.

SPEAKER_05

They it was in the last game.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, they didn't do that. This you're not gonna do it this game.

SPEAKER_05

Why would they do it in game three and not in game four?

SPEAKER_03

Because they had like people arrested. Or let's not talk about that.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, you said that last time though. Yeah, I mean there's gonna be arrests. Can we just what?

SPEAKER_03

You just move on.

SPEAKER_05

Um Yeah, so uh we're still talking about game three, right?

SPEAKER_03

No, four.

SPEAKER_05

We're talking about four.

SPEAKER_03

But what's the next response will win MSG results?

SPEAKER_05

Um tonight. You know, I don't know. I don't know what to expect. Expect a similar game. You know, a hard fuck game, it's gonna um a lot of times it feels like you know it basketball so much momentum shifts. Um sometimes a team will start out with a really good momentum shift and the other team will be trying to play catch up. And then and then and then it just shifts. You know, momentum shifts. Um that's how I see the game a lot.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

A lot of times then and then when you're Monday m Monday morning quarterbacking, um you're like like, well, the difference of the game is um three point percentage or field goal percentage, you know, things like that. Um and a lot of times that does play a huge role. Like if if if they if both teams go for fifteen three pointers, um one team gets ten, one team gets five, you know, the big difference are yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So um I'm gonna do a little prediction here. I think it's gonna be one fifteen, one oh nine next final.

SPEAKER_05

115, 109, next.

SPEAKER_03

I think it's gonna be a close pick. I think it's gonna be a physical game. I think K's gonna get the ball a bit more.

SPEAKER_05

I think it's gonna be 113, 112 next.

SPEAKER_03

Overtime or normal or just regulation.

SPEAKER_05

Regulation.

SPEAKER_03

Alright. Now we're gonna move on to another segment for the first time ever. Okay, now what happened there?

SPEAKER_05

Do it again.

SPEAKER_03

There we go. Dylan Larkin trade request. Now Dylan Larkin officially requested trade from Red Wings. Now he is officially requested every 11th season in Detroit. Detroit's on a 10-year playoff drought. Now, Lorkin submitted three a three team preferred destination list the Golden Knights, the Wild, and the Panthers. Do you think that if Dylan Larkin goes to any of those teams, think they will immediately boost their odds of winning it, or you think it won't help it a lot?

SPEAKER_05

Well, I mean, it depends on what they give up, but yeah, most likely you're adding a um player like Dylan Larkin, you're gonna get better. Can you uh can you make it you know the button that makes um makes that dark voice?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Can you do that for me for a second?

SPEAKER_02

I am doing I wanna trade. Get me out of here.

SPEAKER_05

That's that's probably what it sounded like to the to the GM um when he heard that. So random.

SPEAKER_03

It's funny. So the 29-year-old has a no has a full no train no trade clause, it's five years remaining on his eight-year 69.6 million dollar contract.

SPEAKER_05

Wow, really? I okay, that's interesting. Five years remaining on his eight-year contract?

SPEAKER_03

Yep, 8.7 million AAV. Now, Detroit tenure playoff drought appears to be a major factor behind his trade request. Now, Larkin had a good season, 34 goals, 67 points, and 74 games, and a new career high in goals. Now, will Redmitt Red Wings you think they're gonna make a trade like immediately?

SPEAKER_05

Uh they're they're probably gonna make it before July 1st. Can you can you get put my voice back on the um thing? I want to before you before you press a button, you know, I don't understand why Ryan O'Reilly, when he was in Buffalo, why he didn't just say can I have a trade request? Instead, he said something like this.

SPEAKER_02

I've lost the love of hockey. Hockey just isn't found in Buffalo anymore.

SPEAKER_03

Wait, you want to do it again real quick? No.

SPEAKER_05

This is all spontaneous. No, yeah, that's what Ryan O'Reilly said. He was something like, oh, we don't play Hacky anymore. I'm not having fun.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, okay, we're gonna stop messing with that now. Now, um, where Shalar can go? If you could pick any team that NHL that he would want to go, where do you think would be the best spot for him to win the Stanley Cups?

SPEAKER_05

Well, obvious, you know, I mean, someone who is in the third year of their eighth-year contract, and they're one of the, you know, uh a captain type of player, one of the best players in the team, you're gonna want to go to a contender.

SPEAKER_03

Not gonna go like Florida or something, like a rebuilding.

SPEAKER_05

Even though Florida missed the playoffs, they're gonna bounce back. They had a lot of injuries last year. Florida's still a Stanley Cup contender. Obviously, the Golden Knights, they're they're becoming like the villains.

SPEAKER_03

They came in like five years ago and merely might win two Stanley Cups.

SPEAKER_05

They all they do is trade. Trade, trade, trade, trade, trade, trade, trade.

SPEAKER_03

I know I like them.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I mean, it there's something to respect about you know achieving results through different, you know, standard traditional ways, not through development by just trading. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But um All right, well, let's do um a little game. So this game's called my mic drop. Well, it's mason made drop. We're at the 20 minutes. Now here are the rules. There'll be there'll be a 60 second timer here, and you as a co-host can either defend my hot take or attack it, retaliate, say, no, that's not right. This is better.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so okay, we got to.

SPEAKER_03

So first we have to.

SPEAKER_05

Can we get some background music for the game?

SPEAKER_03

Well, before we do that, we have to have the.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, we got a new song.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we got song forever. Hit it.

SPEAKER_00

60 seconds on the clock, make this ready, let it run, get the ball and play your fight, go make the buffalo, nothing, must have been here we go! P deals the nice, I like it.

SPEAKER_03

This is AP, it's supposed to be a YP.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, argue point.

SPEAKER_03

Alright, P deals the show. I'll have a timer here. I'll say my hot take. Um, that's pretty good then. I have to write down I guess 50 seconds. I'll save the take. I have I have 50 seconds, I'll save the take. And then if you want to, and if you want to defend or tack it, then you also get 50 seconds. Right. Let's start in 3, 2, 1. Now, my hot take here is that the New York Knicks don't live up to the playoff height in MSG yet. Now, right now, the Knicks haven't been like don't have expectations in these last two games. The last one game in MSG. I think with the Knicks a bounce back game, this MSG would be rocking. I think it would be one of the craziest arenas in the entire season. Like in the entire season. I think it'll be the loudest it's been.

SPEAKER_05

I think well, okay, it's my turn.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no, I saw thirty seconds. I think that uh I think right now if the Knicks just play if they come out rocking, like if they just if they have a good first quarter, good first half. Necessarily, all they have to do is hit a bunch of threes, the crowd ruled up. It could be New York game easily. And let's say if next team's 3-1 lead, it'll be crazy. Right, who wants to attack?

SPEAKER_05

No, so so my my rebuttal to that is that already happened Monday night. It already was as loud as it can be, all the hype. That that we already lived that it probably will be the same. Um, especially, well, yeah, I mean, if we were trailing by 15 points, the whole game is not gonna be rocking, but um, but we were leading in game three. It was a close game. It wasn't like we were never leading. Um, so I felt like it already matched that hype. It was already super loud. There was um Eli Meaning there. There was who who's okay? Who's your favorite celebrity on Celebrity Row that or that was on TV? I can't think. Um, but yeah, so that that's my rebuttal. It was already there. Um yeah, that's it. All right, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Alright. Next time we'll do a different uh hot take. I got I got a lot of songs. We got um some more next time, but so it's um talking about a um we're talking about um sorry NHL finals game I think it's game three. Yeah, game three. So I won't tell you the end of the game, but we'll start off first period, no goals have been scored. 20 minutes, no goals. Okay. Second period, 1026, Vegas 1-0. Thomas Hurdle power play goal.

SPEAKER_05

This is yesterday's game, last night's game.

SPEAKER_03

This is like two games ago.

SPEAKER_05

Game one?

SPEAKER_03

Yep, no game three. Then 1042, Vegas, 2-0, Mitch Martyr. Then four 1432, Vegas, three nothing, Mitch Martyr. Then 1652, Vegas, Golden Knight, 4-0, Mitch Martyr, then the period ends. Now imagine if you're thinking this here. So you're if you're just thinking like, okay, um you're up right now. You are up um 4-0. 4-0 at the start of the third. What or what do you would be your thoughts as a team that's up?

SPEAKER_05

Um well that you you you wanna tell yourself, put your gas on the pedal, but you might naturally, collectively want to preserve that lead and just put try to play a tight defensive game.

SPEAKER_03

Alright, so we're gonna go superior. 7-0 three, Jordan Martinhook makes the game 4-1 for Carolina. 729, Taylor Hall make the game 4-2. Okay, so now you're only up by two goals, so defendable lead. Then only about 12 seconds later, Jordan Stahl. He took three goals right here. And let's see, 39 seconds. Three goals 39 seconds.

SPEAKER_04

Really?

SPEAKER_03

And all the way into 18 minutes, Andre Seventhinov and power play tie the game four to four. We go into overtime. It was a gr it was a good overtime, but no goals scored. Now we're going double overtime. Vegas loses a 4-0 lead. You're now you're going double overtime at 5 38. She uh Theodore gets the game winner. Shea. Shea Theodore gets the game winner. What are your thoughts on that entire game? All the goals and everything.

SPEAKER_05

First of all, I like how you broke that down. Um we we can do a little more to that. How you just how you just did. I'm sorry for my subject. Uh what are my thoughts on it? Yeah, um, yeah, it was a good game. Um, and it's too bad. I mean, if I was a Carolina fan, I would hate that game. Yeah. Because it's it was like an almost game. You know, like they tied it up, they got it overtime. They played a full 20 minutes of overtime. I'm sure they had chances. Um that's kind of like the Buffalo game. It's like we had the the the elimination game, the game that we were eliminated in for the Sabres.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Um we had chances to win that game. We had shots on goal, you know what I mean? We had chances, they were there, we just didn't finish it. Um, so that's that's overtime. Overtime is about one shot. One shot.

SPEAKER_03

No, but um series is tied 2-2. It's 5-3.

SPEAKER_05

Well, why don't you run down I'm not gonna run that down.

SPEAKER_03
