| 0:00.0 | This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. All right, let's get to the podcast. Less than 1% of your audience calls him. But yes, 90% of the game one tipping off here. And the big contest, of course. Victor Wenban, Yama, the San Antonio Spurs, rolled through the OKC Thunder, dethroned the defending champs, sitting on the other side of the bracket, |
| 0:21.5 | the New York Knicks dominating the Eastern Conference, 11 straight wins. |
| 0:25.5 | Folks around the NBA in the league offices are calling you to, quote, dream matchup, |
| 0:31.8 | Wembe versus MSG. |
