0:29.1

He is childhood friends with Mitch Johnson. He is in studio to talk about the NBA finals, where he sees it's going. What happened in the spurs? We also have Illinois head coach Brett Bielma, good friend of the show in studio as well, talking some football, great interview with him. Also an incredible pig farming story from coach Bielma. We're gonna talk NBA Finals. Maybe the greatest comeback. Actually, no, the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history. One of the best games. Any of us have ever watched. We have Stanley Cup Final game five, the pivotal game five that we're gonna talk talk about. We have Firefast and a special Mount Rushmore warm-up with Hank's dad. What a show, packed show, and is all brought to you by our friends at Reese's. This everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a Reese's. Take how the whole world is vying for the cup right now. Is it because called a cup just like a Reese's peanut butter cup coincidence? I think not. So be a champ and score a Reese's today because everything happens for a Reese's Reese is the official candy partner, bar store sports, everything happens for a Reese's get yours at Hersheyland.com slash Reese's. Reese's are the absolute best. The marshmallow cup, the Oreo cup, uh, the

1:52.5

1:57.3

Part of my team, yeah, part of my team, yeah, part of my team, yeah, part of my team, yeah, part of. Yeah. Welcome to part of my take presented by draft Kings. The crown is yours today is Friday, June 12th and the New York Knicks are one single game away from being NBA champions after the greatest comeback in NBA finals history. Boys, what a game, what a night, simply incredible. The $5,000 get in price was actually a bargain. If you went to that game and you're a next fan because what you got was probably the best night of your life. Yeah. Actually, no, that was definitely the best night of your life. That's sports will not get any better than that Then if you paid five grand to go to Madison Square Garden last night the return on that investment It was it was incredible as bad as that first half was and I don't think that many people left MSG I think there's probably like a couple hundred people that might have left early I don't buy it would but buy in large. I think for the most part the crowd stay there What a moment that was. And you felt it building up in the second half,

3:29.0

like just slowly just chip in a way at that making it bites taking one bite out of time away from the spurs and It ended with you can we have the debate if the spurs choked it or if the next one it It I don't know why it can't be both. It was an incredible thing to watch.

3:47.2

Yeah, even on television it was one of those. I don't find myself particularly rooting for the next. I don't find myself particularly rooting for the spurs. I want memes and Zach to be happy. But just watching that last night was like this, this fucks. Well, this is why we watch sports. You know what it was too? is 7649 in the first half. The spurs shoot the absolute lights out. The game starts, we

4:05.9

get the two cat files right away. The spurs shoot the absolute lights out.

4:05.0

The game starts, we get the two cat files right away. Everyone's complaining about the files. The nicks, I think, as bad as maybe the rest were to start the game as they missed a goal 10, the cat files, I also think the nicks had zero composure. Like they were unraveling in the first half. They were giving up wide open threes. You had Mitch Robinson get a flagrant on on Wembee, like Wembee doing the I'm in your head. It felt as bad as bad could get for the Knicks. And it also felt like we were just wasting an entire NBA finals game. So to go from that to what we watched in the second half and the Knicks to basically come out at half time and and be like, we didn't hear no bell. We're not giving up to get off the mat like that

4:46.9

and chip away slowly, make it 15 going into the fourth. You know, get it under 10. It was an OJ and no be just with the greatest tip in like it just an insane. He has the block on tier and Fox. He has the tip in. It was. It was nuts. I actually like sat on my couch kind of speechless

5:07.4

after the game and like, what do I do now?

5:08.9

This Tom Green basketball, by the way, that's what they teach. That's what Tom does. He gets it. That might have been the best like 30 seconds of defense and offensive combined in the history of the NBA. When you consider the stakes, Yeah, that we were dealing with last night.

5:23.1

And yeah, it was a great, awesome, incredible first half shooting by the Spurs.

5:28.4

You knew that they weren't going to keep that pace. You consider the stakes. Yeah. That we were dealing with last night. And yeah, it was a great, awesome, incredible first half shooting by the Spurs.

5:28.7

You knew that they weren't going to keep that pace up, but it was still incredible. It did feel like the game might be over. But when they got it, when they started chipping away in the third quarter, you could feel the Spurs start to panic a little bit. You can feel the next and the next fans get more confident, like every trip down the court.

5:45.1

There's a lot of room to pass around blame.

5:48.1

I will say that when you have that lead. You feel the next and the next fans get more confident, like every trip down the court, there's a lot of room to pass around blame.

5:48.2

I will say that when you have that lead in the second half,

5:51.3

there's really no excuse for losing that game.

5:53.5

So some really, really bad shot decision making,

5:57.0

some really bad, like a failure to adapt
