Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast. I'm here on Sam Vassini. Today, Bryce Simon joins me in the New York Knicks have swept their way into the NBA finals with 11 straight victories against Eastern Conference competition. You better believe we're talking all about the New York Knicks. We're going to talk about the Cavs as well. We will talk a bit about Oklahoma City and San Antonio. We are going live

tomorrow night as well after Oklahoma City and San Antonio. So, you know, if you feel like you're

getting the short shrift there, we apologize, but we do want to talk mostly about the Knicks

and the Cavaliers here overall.

Bryce, how are you doing, man?

What's going on, buddy?

I'm good.

It was a little bit of a long weekend, went up to Kansas City, checked out EYBL, and took

Ranny with me.

So we sent the kids to the grandparents.

So it was a little getaway for us. A getaway vacation for me and my wife means she follows me to watch basketball games. But it was going to say, did, did Rani come with you to? Oh, no, no. Oh, no. She was there. And she was locked in because I would be like, hey, that's C.J. Rosser. That's Cajer Caniple., that's, et cetera, et cetera. And what I really appreciated is she's like, who's number five? I kind of like him. He's a good player. I like the way. And, you know, it would be, you know, and she would all of a sudden lock in a top 100 player, but not one of these top 10, 15, 20 guys. And then just getting her reaction to even some of them was kind of fun.

And then, you know, Brad Bill was there coaching his team.

Chris Paul was there coaching his team.

Raymond Felton was coaching his team.

So it was a really cool experience, you know, for both of us, you know, her being a hoops fan as well.

But then we also got, again, just time away from the kids, got to eat out in Kansas City, see some friends, all of that. So it was a good weekend. That's fantastic. It's a good weekend for New York Knicks fans as well. We're going to dive into them. But first, go to the Game Theory substack, Game Theory Samv.substack.com.

Bryce and I will have a breakdown of all the early entry decisions that occur over the course of this week.

We had, I believe, Lori Bedunga decided to withdraw today.

We had Malachi Moreno last night withdraw. Two really good decisions, given what I would imagine are substantial financial packages going toward them.

That will be up on the NBA draft show on the substack later this week.

I am finally going to post those Keaton Wogler and Kingston Fleming's videos that I promised people.

It's just I keep running out of time like throughout the day to be honest with you.
