Tonight there's three game sixes, two in the Eastern Conference. If you want to look ahead, you've got the Laker Rocket Story from the Western Conference where the Lakers are trying to avoid blowing a 3-0 lead. And then, of course, Saturday night, we'll get to find out who the Knicks are going to face next. What we do know is that they will play Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and then a game seven on the following Sunday. So it's

in every other day series, which is very cool. The only time where there's more than one off day is

from game six to game seven. I do think for those that like to travel, okay, if you're a traveler,

like Kerry and Sayerville, who's a great caller and great Nick fan, I do think the Sixers are the preferred opponent.

It is just easier to get there. I think the parking is a lot easier in Philly than it is Boston, and I also think the ticket prices won't be as high. We have seen it over the last couple of years. An invasion of Philadelphia is much easier than an invasion of Boston. I do wonder that if the Sixers win a game seven, would there be enough juice in the city of Philly, that those prices will skyrocket because there'll be excitement? I think that's possible. But I still think in general, a trip to Philadelphia, if you're looking to pull it off, is a much more manageable and easier trip than going up to Boston to face the Celtics. Yeah, a little quicker, depending on where you go from, of that. I will say keep an eye on this, and this is just me being me. Unless we have the definitive TV partners, if ABC and ESPN has their hands on that game seven, and you have Sunday afternoon Yankee met tickets and you don't want to miss a game seven, be careful. Not necessarily a Sunday night. could be a 3 30 in the afternoon game seven we've seen those before from a bc i'll do it i'll

take care of this for everybody the nicks are going to beat the celtics the nicks are going to beat

the sixers and they're not going to need a seventh game okay from my lips to all of your ears. All right. So settle in for Yankees' Mets. As an IBO, and I've been saying this since the beginning of the season, they're going to the NBA finals, I stand by that. And whether it's the Sixers or the Celtics, and it's been a healthy debate today on who you'd rather face, I think they'll beat either team. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but I don't think either will go to a seventh game.

I don't think you can make that total proclamation until we see exactly what these teams look like coming out of the game seven and who wins. I think that, yeah, I get that. Because I think there's a really good chance that the Celtics win game seven by 40. I think that's fair. I think there's a chance that the heart of the champions hit their threes on that night. The Sixers look like the typical fraudulent team that they are. And all the Sixers did to their fan base is suck them in. Tease them. Tees them. And then they get blown out. Yeah, but like, again, if the Celtics win the Celtics win by 10, but Tatum looks hobbled,

you're going to walk away going near, this series ain't gone seven.

We're taking care of Boston.

Now, one thing we also talked about a little bit earlier is that last night's blowout was fun for Nick fans, and it created the opportunity for me to finally get an apology from Craig Carton, who will be on the air in an hour

because Craig and I always used to argue

where he would say blowouts aren't fun,

close games are better.

And certainly last night would be proof to him in an hour because Craig and I always used to argue where he would say blowouts aren't fun,

close games are better.

And certainly last night would be proof to him that blowouts are better.

So full transparency, he is here.

I went into our collective office and secretly recorded a conversation.

I then let him know once the conversation was over, just to be fully transparent, I just recorded you. Can I play it? Yeah. And you heard him say yes. I did hear him say yes. I also think he wouldn't have fallen for it because Evan, I've never seen somebody have to record something and your flashlight is on. Damn it! That was what attracted me. Really? Yes, but you turn off the light, you idiot.

Do you think he knew that I was recording it?

The whole newsroom knew you were recording it. The light was blinding everybody. All right. Either way, once that conversation is ready to go, you let me know, and we will play it for the people. But I do want to give that show a lot of credit for something else. Okay. The Pete Alonzo discussion from two months ago that I thought was really stupid.
