[0:00] Now, I know when it comes to
[0:01] predictions, there are only a handful of
[0:04] people worse than I am at it. I have
[0:07] this unfathomable mutation where if I
[0:11] say something, it instantly manifests
[0:14] the opposite into reality. But when it
[0:16] comes to sports, I'm pretty solid at
[0:19] predictions. Actually, setting aside my
[0:21] March Madness brackets, which are
[0:22] genuinely sinful with how terrible they
[0:25] are, I know the Lord's up there
[0:26] disappointed every time I fill one of
[0:28] those puppies out. When it comes to the
[0:29] NBA, I'm a [ __ ] sharpshooter, man. I
[0:31] I'm pinning the tail on the donkey every
[0:33] time, basically with the predictions. I
[0:35] said the Knicks were going to take it
[0:36] over the Spurs, and they did. And I
[0:39] think a lot of people were expecting
[0:42] pandemonium and chaos in the streets of
[0:44] New York if that was to happen. They
[0:47] were also right. You didn't have to be
[0:49] Nostradamus to see that coming, but
[0:51] damn, New York City got turned into
[0:54] [ __ ] Gotham last night. Apparently,
[0:56] there have been 63 people arrested, four
[0:59] stabbings, and one shooting following
[1:01] the championship win. So, Jaylen Brunson
[1:04] dropped a 40 burger, and the Citizens
[1:06] were actually tickling a double double
[1:09] of their own there, dropping 63. Holy
[1:12] [ __ ] Even outside of the game, New York
[1:14] was putting up numbers.
[1:24] Jack,
[1:32] >> I'll never understand that kind of
[1:34] celebration where you're so happy that
[1:36] you start riding and then I guess
[1:38] Yosimity Sam starts firing into the air
[1:40] really excited. That's just so peculiar
[1:43] to turn something like positive and
[1:46] exciting into just [ __ ] madness for
[1:49] no reason. And it's not exclusive to New
[1:51] York or anything. Granted, New York is
[1:54] on like the upper level of chaos
[1:56] following the big win, but it seems like
[1:59] this happens like every time. No matter
[2:01] who wins, it just devolves into lunacy.
[2:06] But the videos coming out of New York
[2:08] are wild.
[2:29] It was a bad day to be a school bus. You
[2:31] hate to see a championship come home if
[2:34] you're a school bus, bro. They were
[2:36] beating the devil out of them. So like
[2:38] that guy was rolling up with his razor
[2:39] scooter and he was just chipping away at
[2:41] it. I thought he had a diamond pickaxe
[2:43] in his hand at first, but no, it was
[2:45] just his scooter and he just blasted
[2:46] that [ __ ] with it and knocks the front
[2:49] end off of it. Uh, so apparently the
[2:52] school buses were there because they
[2:53] were shuttling people back and forth.
[2:55] And the owner of this bus actually came
[2:57] out to try and like stop them and let
[2:59] them know like this is coming out of my
[3:01] paycheck. You are just hurting me. Stop
[3:03] please.
[3:07] Heat.
[3:13] Heat.
[3:32] I got you a lot
[3:35] of my check. Y'all my checking
[3:38] on my check.
[3:40] My paycheck
[3:42] on my paycheck.
[3:44] My bro
[3:49] [ __ ] up, bro.
[4:02] I really felt bad for the guy cuz he is
[4:04] rightfully panicking like please stop.
[4:07] This is really detrimental to me here.
[4:10] And I bet he was very excited that they
[4:11] won the championship and now his bus is
[4:14] just getting blasted.
[4:33] [ __ ]
[4:41] shut the bust
[4:51] champion. You heard
[4:58] They eventually sacrificed one of the
[5:00] school buses here. They blew it up. They
[5:03] lit it on fire like it was part of some
[5:05] kind of ritual. And I [ __ ] hate
[5:08] losers like this. He like pogf faces.
[5:12] We're champions. That kind of thing.
[5:13] Like what what does blowing up this
[5:15] guy's bus have to do with winning and
[5:18] being happy? That just super sucks.
[5:20] That's actual brain deadad labbotomite
[5:22] behavior. Now I don't know if that's the
[5:24] same bus. Like I don't know I don't know
[5:26] if it's the same guy's bus but there was
[5:29] a lot of buses there that were really
[5:32] getting it rough. And it seems like the
[5:34] bus drivers are the ones that are on the
[5:37] hook for it. Even though from what I've
[5:39] read the reason they're there is because
[5:41] of like shuttling fans back and forth
[5:44] and then this this happens to it.
[5:47] There's like a ton of videos like a
[5:50] bunch of cars like just people's cars
[5:52] getting busted up, a lot of fighting. Uh
[5:55] I didn't see any videos of like the
[5:56] stabbings or anything, but yeah, just
[6:00] chaos. Complete chaos. Now, I want to
[6:02] talk about the game itself because man
[6:05] oh man, what a game. This whole series
[6:07] was crazy because the Spurs led by
[6:09] double digits in every single game.
[6:11] Every game the Knicks had to come back
[6:14] and they made history with their
[6:16] comebacks, especially in game four,
[6:18] which I already made a video covering
[6:20] with the the Taran Fox super super show.
[6:25] Like I I have a feeling Jaylen Brunson's
[6:28] getting himself a [ __ ] statue in New
[6:30] York. De'Aran Fox needs one, too. He was
[6:34] the secret sixth man on the court for
[6:35] the Knicks, bro. I have never seen a
[6:38] back-to-back butthole performance quite
[6:41] like the Aaron Fox put up in game four
[6:43] and five. Like, yes, he had the most
[6:46] obvious super super stupid collapse in
[6:50] game four where he uh on the breakaway
[6:52] went for a layup with 12 seconds left
[6:54] instead of just dribbling out the clock
[6:56] and taking free throws on the foul,
[6:58] which does end up costing them the game.
[7:00] But he made so many other mistakes in
[7:03] that game. And then in game five, he
[7:05] comes in with that same lack of
[7:06] momentum, but the fearlessness to keep
[7:08] embarrassing himself, like actual
[7:10] humiliation type fetish [ __ ] He went,
[7:14] what was it? Three for 15, one for eight
[7:17] from the three. And also just a turnover
[7:20] specialist. And they still kept him out
[7:22] on the floor the whole time. Bro, the
[7:24] Knicks need to be giving that man his
[7:26] flowers cuz De'aran Fox was doing
[7:28] everything he could to help them. But
[7:30] yeah, throughout the whole series, the
[7:32] Spurs dominated like going into the
[7:34] second half. And the Knicks always
[7:36] mounted super impressive comebacks. Like
[7:38] I said, I predicted the Knicks to win
[7:40] the the championship. I thought they
[7:42] were going to do it in dominant fashion,
[7:44] but it was actually the Spurs that came
[7:46] out slapping every single time and then
[7:48] just petering out, falling off. And I
[7:50] really think you can point the finger at
[7:51] coaching here for a good chunk of it.
[7:53] Because why are you throwing up so many
[7:56] threes in the second half with such a
[7:57] sizable lead, leaving the door wide open
[8:00] for the Knicks comebacks? Like they're
[8:02] just giving them all the possible
[8:04] ingredients to get back into the game
[8:07] for this. Like I I don't get it. Like
[8:09] they'll shoot the lights out in the
[8:11] first half. Not so much in game five,
[8:12] obviously. They were looking real rough
[8:14] there. Big shout out De'ar Fox. But in
[8:18] the second half, every time they still
[8:19] love to just keep throwing up these
[8:21] threes even when they're cold as [ __ ]
[8:23] and they just never stop. Like Wimi
[8:25] completely stops trying to drive in the
[8:27] second half of game five. I like I can
[8:29] count on one hand the amount of times he
[8:31] even tried to get a look in the paint.
[8:32] He's more than content to throw up a
[8:34] three or a contested mid-range instead
[8:37] of like actually passing the ball
[8:38] around, trying to work it in, get
[8:40] penetration. Like they are so content
[8:42] with a lead to just throw up a three
[8:44] maybe after a pass, maybe dribble kick
[8:47] out and then a three and they're not
[8:49] hitting them and you already have a
[8:51] lead. I just it's it's such an
[8:53] interesting bad game plan. So, while the
[8:57] Knicks are extremely resilient and
[8:59] extremely talented, I think a lot of
[9:01] what happened was the Spurs beating
[9:02] themselves. Like legitimately, they just
[9:06] loved choking. They they loved it. They
[9:08] were really a big fan of that. Now,
[9:12] going into the series, I had said I
[9:14] actually said for a long time, I like
[9:15] Wimyama. And against OKC, I was very
[9:19] heavily pulling for the Spurs cuz I just
[9:21] do not like the Thunder.
[9:23] But man, it was hard to be a Wimi fan in
[9:26] this series, bro. The the interviews,
[9:30] the afteraction reports, and his onc
[9:32] court behavior just like he shoving
[9:35] Brunson for no reason, uh, attempting to
[9:39] flop. Like, I don't know, man. I I did
[9:42] not like the way Wimi played ball in the
[9:45] finals here. I I really didn't. It was
[9:47] disappointing to see. I still like
[9:49] Harper. I still think Harper is kind of
[9:51] the truth on that team. I think he is a
[9:54] superstar, but man, it watching Wimi
[9:57] play was a little rough in this series.
[9:59] I like Jaylen Brunson a lot and I was
[10:02] very happy to see the Knicks win
[10:03] overall. I think they deserved it. I
[10:05] think they played incredible and Brunson
[10:08] was awe inspiring. And now I' I've got
[10:12] to I've got to yap about De'aran Fox.
[10:14] Man, I like De'Aran Fox. It was very
[10:18] hard to watch De'aran Fox in the game
[10:21] five, man. I liked him when he was on
[10:23] the Kings. Him going to the Spurs was
[10:25] hype. I liked him against the Thunder.
[10:27] What the [ __ ] is he doing in the last
[10:30] like week, bro? He got hit with the
[10:33] stupid beam. I I don't know what
[10:34] happened. Someone must have slipped the
[10:36] orb of confusion into his bag. What did
[10:40] I watch? Like the flagrant. And then
[10:42] he's even trying to argue like you can
[10:44] see him argue with the ref after the
[10:45] flagrant. He's where he pushes from
[10:48] behind. He's like it wasn't it wasn't
[10:50] this it was this as if a shove from
[10:53] behind not playing the ball is somehow
[10:56] like okay if it's not a full extension
[10:58] and it's just one of these like a
[10:59] shoulder check like he's playing hockey.
[11:01] Just what are you doing man? Like
[11:03] actually on the shot selection from him
[11:06] makes no sense. He he really really
[11:10] really I think wanted to come out there
[11:12] and like make up for what happened in
[11:14] game four, but he continued to have the
[11:16] cheese touch. And again, this ties back
[11:18] to coaching. Why leave Dearron Fox on
[11:21] the floor when he's playing that stinky?
[11:24] I think they would have been better off
[11:25] letting it get into Castle's hands. Let
[11:27] him take it up the floor and let him and
[11:29] Harper go to work cuz Harper was [ __ ]
[11:31] cooking, man. And yes, Castle wasn't
[11:34] having a good game. He He had a He also
[11:36] had a very bad game. I I know it's not
[11:39] just the De'aran Fox blunder show or
[11:41] anything. I I get that. But I still
[11:43] really think that at least with Castle
[11:45] taking it up the floor. I think the odds
[11:47] of the ball ending up in Harper's hands,
[11:49] who is hot right now, is significantly
[11:51] higher than De'Aran Fox bringing it up
[11:53] the floor and just settling for a
[11:55] [ __ ] dog [ __ ] look. I think it's
[11:57] because of it being De'arren Fox and he
[11:59] is the veteran. But the veteran is the
[12:01] one making the most mistakes on the
[12:03] squad by far. He is detrimental. So why
[12:06] not check him out and put him on the
[12:08] bench for a little bit? Like it doesn't
[12:10] make sense to me. I understand he's
[12:12] getting paid a ton of money and I
[12:13] understand why. He is an extremely
[12:15] talented player, but this was just this
[12:17] was not his game. This this he was not
[12:19] that guy, pal. So just put him on the
[12:22] bench. Like I understand maybe that's
[12:23] insulting because of his status, but
[12:26] brother, you're in the finals. You've
[12:28] got to be doing what works. You have to
[12:31] be prioritizing winning. and De'Arren
[12:33] Fox on the court, De'Arren Fox on the
[12:35] floor was not in the ingredients list
[12:38] for a W. So, like it was so frustrating.
[12:42] Like I wanted the Knicks to win, but it
[12:44] was also really frustrating to see this
[12:46] kind of hooping from this from the Spurs
[12:49] or really lack of hooping from the Aaron
[12:52] Fox in particular. Anyway, I don't need
[12:53] to keep blabbering about it. Uh just
[12:55] kind of wanted to talk about the game
[12:57] itself as well as the aftermath in New
[13:00] York. Uh anyway, that's really about it.
[13:03] See you.
