| 0:00.0 | All right, we're back. Ira joins us to some NBA right now as you have the Cavaliers and the Warriors back in action. |
| 0:06.5 | The Celtics up after the overtime win where the point cards went crazy. |
| 0:10.2 | And we're heading towards conference finals. |
| 0:14.0 | And the big surprise, which we should start with Ira's Houston, which really stunned a San Antonio team, |
| 0:19.7 | which looks like it might be looking for the exit. |
| 0:22.7 | Yeah, you know, Mike, I can never recall a San Antonio team that was so one-player-centric |

| 1:11.9 | they're in a heap of trouble. This does not look anything in the last few weeks like a Greg |
| 1:17.0 | Popovich team. No question about it. I agree. And, you know, it also, you know, it shows that |
| 1:23.5 | how much the game has changed where the style that he plays now, |
| 1:28.3 | that Dan Tony plays can work because these teams are so three-centric in their approach. |
| 1:34.5 | The Cavaliers want to shoot the three all the time. |
| 1:36.8 | The Warriors are going to shoot the three all the time. |
