They were frightened. I want Mass. What is this? Listen, I'll grant your Felger's freedom. Here we go. Man, I got to lay off the peyote. It was horrendous. Felger and Mass. 985. The Sports Hub. Bye! Hi, everybody. Welcome to the program, Felger and Maserati on an agenda-free Friday. We got Maz in the Maz chair. How you doing, Mass. Agenda Free Friday. Got Murray in the update studio, Jimmy and Billy Lanny behind the glass, regular cast of characters, so regular drill on a Friday. We're talking about everything and anything from the week, anything we've gotten to, or have yet to get to. So just have at it. I give you the number once. Here it is, 617-779-0-0-98-5.

They're already loading up when I get names and subjects. We'll go to you. But we start with some opening thoughts here in our town for a tire studios. Anthony, you want to go first? Sure, I will absolutely go first. And I'll start with the NBA finals, which is obvious after last night. One-sided win by Golden State. I thought early on in that game as they were trading baskets, I thought, okay, this is going to be good.

It'll be this way until the end and then. one-sided win by Golden State. I thought early on in that game, as they were trading baskets,

I thought, okay, this is going to be good. It'll be this way until the end, and then the fourth quarter, nut-cutting time. You've got to execute under pressure. We'll see what happens. Golden State ran away and hid, and that was it. And I thought, oh, boy, is this what we're going to get for the finals now. Like if it has reached the point where this thing is at one side, and I'm not saying it is,

okay, I'm not saying it is, because there's a long way to go yet.

But if this thing ends up being a runaway, as many people have predicted, two things.

Okay, one, Kevin Durant looks worse. I think Kevin Durant looks worse.

If this is a non-competitive series, non-competitive, if Golden State blows doors with

LeBron James on the other side, then shame on Durant.

Like, really.

That's how much you get to stack the deck that LeBron could be

there with a healthy Kyrie Irving and a healthy Kevin Love and blow doors. That's embarrassing.

It is. It's embarrassing if the league is that one-sided that the best player in the league

with two good guys alongside, including a number one overall pick, can't compete? That's a bad sign. That's a bad sign. Durant will look worse, number one. Number two, and this pertains to LeBron and some of the comments that were coming out of the Cleveland side after the game. Tyron Liu did an interview in the game where he said, you know, Doris Perk asked him, how do you think it's going?

Well, you know, we scored 30 points.

I think we're doing fine.

Like, building up Golden State to be this insurmountable giant.

And then LeBron talked about Golden State after the game, and here's what he said.

You take one of the best teams that we had ever assembled last year, you know, that we saw it in the regular season and in the postseason, you know, and then, you know, in the offseason, you add a high-powered offensive talent like that and a great basketball IQ like that. You know, that's what stands out. There's no if-ans or butts. I mean, it is what it is. and we got to figure out how to, you know, that's what stands out. There's no if-ans or buts. I mean, it is what it is. And, you know, we got to figure out how to, you know, how to combat that. I just feel like now Cleveland is building up Golden State to make themselves to be this overwhelming underdog. And I don't like this part of it either. Shut up! You're the best player in the world.

You've got two terrific players beside you, and in fact, really more, but two, one in particular, really elite player in Kyrie Irving.

And Kevin loves another good one.

If Cleveland just rolls over here because they think they don't have the talent, I'm not exactly thrilled with them either.
