All right, Tuesday morning.

0:01.7

Nice to have you with us.

0:02.5

It is Alan Jerry till 6 o'clock. We've got the guys coming up at 6th then to do a big program until 10 a.m. And then Wednesday and Thursday and Friday down the shore. Oh, that's right. Kick off the summer and the send-off of Eddie Scissari. Yep. And the great country band Parmali will be there. That is right.

0:21.5

That is correct.

0:25.3

So O.G. Ananobi, Jerry, he's listed as probable tonight.

0:26.4

You think he'll start, yes?

0:28.9

Well, he practiced fully, according to Mike Brown.

0:33.0

So I think this, you know, Josh Hart was, I played the clips yesterday of Josh Hart complaining, basically, of how long this layoff has been.

1:11.7

But in OG's case, I think because of it, you're going to get him back at full strength tonight. So what was this problem again? I think it was a hamstring, I believe. I'm glad the Knicks are playing the Cavaliers because the pistons, they would have worked the hamstring. They might have. That's the way they are. They've got a long history of being punks. Now the Thunder had a long layoff too, and they lost their first playoff game of the postseason last night. They lost to the Spurs and double over time. Great game. But that's a team that was 8-0, hadn't lost yet, and then they lose their first game on their home floor.

1:13.0

So it'll be interesting to see.

1:19.2

Now, if the Knicks wound up losing this game for some reason, I still think they win the series in five games, six max.

1:24.4

But it'd be interesting to see if they're a little, if they're sharp or if they come out a little bit rusty.

1:26.4

Yeah, that is interesting. Because you see it in almost all the sports, right? How many times in football season when a team gets a buy? Yeah, they come out flat. And then, like, let's say, yeah, they've got the buy already, and they're going into week 18 or whatever, whatever, yeah, it's 18 weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they go,

1:44.4

oh, we're going to rest our players.

1:45.6

Okay, you're going to rest your players and you're off next week. And then they come out completely flat in the playoff game. Yeah, get out of sync. But you also think, like, you've played this long of a season. You want some around. I mean, I would want myself a breather.

2:00.2

And that was what Josh Hart was saying.

2:01.7

Yes, you need the rest.

2:04.0

But nine days? long of a season, you want some around. I mean, I would want myself a breather. And that was what Josh Hart was saying.

2:01.7

Yes, you need the rest, but nine days.

2:05.2

Like there's, you know, there's a little bit of an in-between here.

2:07.7

How about four days off and let's get back to it?

2:10.4

They literally haven't played in a week and a half.
