Hey, everyone, it's Bumer and Gio, and if you're into New York sports

or you want straight talk about what's really going on in the sports world,

Boomer and Gio is your show. We're covering it all. Yankees wins, Giants drama, national headlines, and whatever chaos the day brings on the field and all. No filler, no filters, just real conversation. And believe me, plenty of laughs every weekday morning. We don't hold back and we don't waste your time. We get to what actually matters. That's Boomer and Gio and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods. Ahead of alumni weekend here, alumni day on Saturday. Obviously the Mets also fighting for their playoff lives here down the stretch. Been struggling. Before we get back to the calls here or Todd arrives, whichever happens first, I wanted to bring up something I just saw on social media. Did not think we were going to be talking basketball today. But I just saw a rule change that would be curious to get your thoughts on. Okay. NBA rule change. I'm seeing this on court side buzz on social media. That's ironic because I just saw something about the NBA as well during this land. You and I were talking most of break. And not about the rule change? No, about the Knicks and nothing big and I'm not trying to derail. I want to hear what you have to say for sure. But the Knicks brought in a guy with that coach Lang, has been at St. Joe's college coach about seven years or so. I find that very interesting on the new staff. By the way, we both saw something during about basketball during the break. Weird how that staff has come together. But anyway, looking forward to the next season, actually,

when it does get underway here next month. on the new staff. By the way, we both saw something about basketball during the break. Yeah, weird how that staff has come together.

But anyway, looking forward to the next season, actually, when it does get underway here next month, it's been crazy next month, assuming that both teams make the playoffs. All right, so the NBA rule change. Unsuccessful end-of-period heaves will now be recorded as a misfield goal for the team, not the player, and players' percentages will not be impacted.

I like it.

Honestly, I like it. I like it because I could already see you don't. I'll tell you why I like it. Common sense. There was a lot of times where you see guys, because it's always fun flinging that thing 70 feet in the air, but it's not fun when you miss it, which you almost always will, and it goes against your three-point accuracy or your overall field goal percentage. So what you've seen, I'd say really has become a bit of an epidemic. The last seven to ten years, guys will actually hold and wait until the red light goes on and then they'll fire it so it makes it look like

oh i tried but it's after the shot doesn't count doesn't go against my record i actually like it

so you'll probably see a few more made because now everybody will shoot it i got no problem with it

see breen talks about this all the time and i love it he brings it up on the broadcast acknowledging

that guys are afraid to shoot my issue is who gives a and really want to curse, but I can't because this is radio, not a podcast.

Who cares about the percentage? Like, how soft have we become that you're worried about a

measly one miss from three point range where we all watch? That's why it's not about the stats. It's not about the stats. It's not about watching the game. If I see John Stark's heave a full court shot at the end of a half, I'm not going to say, whoa, he missed the three. I watched it. I saw what happened. Players are so soft and so worried about the stats and everybody else is so worried about the analytics that it's gotten
