2 o'clock straight up! It's the Cardin Show with Big Mac! One week from today! Game 1, NBA Finals, either in San Antonio or in Oklahoma City.

But for the next week, it's relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor as we move closer and closer to the next inevitable

championship run in the NBA finals.

It also gives us a solid seven days to figure out if the New York Mets are ever going to play

meaningful or relevant baseball again while the Yankees scored 63 runs yesterday against the Kansas

City Royals all as well again in the Yankee World. Good afternoon, Big Mac. How are you?

I'm good. How are you, Craig? I couldn't be any better.

To enjoy last night the first of just feed up watching the Western Conference finals

trying to figure out who they'd better be off against all the spurs, all the injuries of the thunder. And yet still they come out and perform. Well, there's an obvious answer that question. There's an obvious answer. Yeah, there's an obvious answer to the question. I think so, too. I think so. Especially for the one guy in this radio station that actually has carried the station for all basketball commentary and content, me. As you know, sitting next to me all day, is the gift that I keep giving. Yes. I love teaching New Yorkers and a fan host about basketball. You continue to grace us with your basketball knowledge. Thank you. It is quite clear that the San Antonio Spurs is who we want. Yes. Now, you can't come out and say that if you're the Knicks, obviously. No, the Knicks can't. Because that messes with the sports gods. And you can't mess with the sports gods. But the Spurs are the team you want, if you can pick one of the two. And yesterday, you saw another legacy moment for your guy, Victor Wambiamma Mama.

Made one basket in the first quarter.

Made one basket in the second quarter.

Made one basket in the third quarter.

Made one basket in the fourth quarter.

He no-showed a pivotal game five, and now they've got to win back-to-back games to avoid being

eliminated from the NBA playoffs and maybe they're good enough to do we're going to find out

but the spurs are a better matchup for the next than the thunder are period stop yeah full stop

period stop I think we felt like that the entire time obviously the way they played them in

the regular season and all that, both teams.

But just the Thunder have, A, the MVP, be the more proven track record. And they've got the refs on their side. Well, I mean. They're like the Kansas City Chiefs of the NBA. Do you know? He gets every stinking foul. Did you know this, sir? Yeah. That in the postseason, that SGA, the back-to-back MVP award, and a great player for sure,

that SGA has taken more free throws than shots?

I'm not surprised.

Let that sink in for a second.
