Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘banner’ as in Knicks as in Spurs as in NBA Cup as in Las Vegas. What a game. What a cup! The New York Knicks! Does the NBA Cup matter though? The players played hard. Teams wanted to win. Do the fans care? Should the fans care? (14:00) Expansion could be coming to the NBA. Will Seattle and Las Vegas get a team? Will another city get a team? Will there be no expansion because the owners don’t want to split the pie? (23:20) Warriors owner emailed a fan. Not always an issue. But sometime it can be right after a loss. (32:00) The Miami Dolphins are exactly the franchise everyone thinks they are. Poorly run. Poorly managed. Poorly played. And Tua Tagovailoa is a major part of the current problem, but so is Mike McDaniel and Stephen Ross. (40:30) Review: If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You. (43:00) NPPOD. (44:20) What is the update on the trial in the Tyler Skaggs case? The Angels v. Skaggs family is in the hands of the jury now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
