Finals Preview, NBA With Ryen Russillo, SCF With Keith Yandle, Thibs Fired Plus Listener FAQ’s

The old school officials and Van Gundy said this to me, so you don't have to believe me. He's like the old school guys would police it in this gray area, which is what officiating needs to be more like where it's like, hey, you got me. And fuck you. Right. The game. Right.

Yeah, I think Brunson's grosser than SGA is because there's so much with Brunson that's off the ball, like shoving a guy as he's trying to cut. And then like every single thing with Brunson is some sort of dramatic sell. I mean, you'd think he'd get sick of it on some of the off-ball stuff.

But those shows, if that happens, it's going to be like, Hey, does this guy have the NBA belt? Is this the best player in the world? And this is where I would be probably a downer on those TV shows because
