First things first, how was Big Boy, and was he wearing a hat?
Red Atlanta Braves fitted for Big Boy. I got to say, not that big. The boy. No. He slipped out. He's a small man, actually. Well, yeah. He's never been all that tall. Big Boy is a small man.

Chapter 2: What were the key takeaways from the Knicks' Game 4 comeback?
And the Spurs having two days off for Wemby to clean off all those eggshells and egg yolks from his shoulders. Now he's ready to go for game five. I think they do it. I think one thing that we just kind of skipped over, we talked about Mitch Johnson and whether or not he should have played Luke Gornett more.
Mitch Johnson took Stefan Castle off the floor two minutes into that third quarter with only two fouls. He charged into Jalen Brunson. He said, here comes Keldon Johnson. And so they took a ball handler off the floor and they took the best defender on Jalen Brunson. So that was a screw up.
And I think in this game five where we might see a great Jalen Brunson game, because I think he's probably got it in his most flow of any game. It's coming from game four. I think Stephon Castle doesn't leave that guy. He probably shouldn't. Didn't Brunson play massive minutes, too, in game four? I think he played like 44 minutes in the game. Yeah, he basically matched Wemby in the second half.
Like, he barely sat... Yes. So you're just saying, I mean, Mitch Johnson has to, he's got to lean on his guys here for heavy, heavy minutes. I know the, hey, he played Wemby too many minutes in the second half. Sure. He was obviously gassed, but Stephon Castle has to play more too. I'm with you, Tass. I'm going Spurs on Saturday night.
Look, I thought they were dead after they lost that pivotal game five against the Thunder. I didn't think they'd at least win two in a row against OKC, even though they were shorthanded. But they did prove me wrong. Holy crap, that's pretty impressive. And I think they got a little fight in them here to get it back to Madison Square Garden. So we'll see.
We will be here, like I said, Sunday morning to break it all down. Take a break, and when we come back, we're switching it up. We're switching out basketballs for soccer balls. Great. Don't go anywhere. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.

A master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy, but I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out.

Chapter 3: What are the key moments leading up to the World Cup final?
Simple reason why. The World Cup final is set for July 19th. When do I arrive with my wife in Croatia for a little vacation time? I arrive on July 18th in Dubrovnik. Wow. That would be awesome. That would be awesome.
Chapter 4: What are the chances of Croatia performing well in the World Cup?
To arrive to a country like Croatia and have them in the World Cup the next day, that would be cinema. So I'm really rooting for them. Now Croatia's like, despite being a very small country, they've had pretty good performances at the World Cup. They went to the final once, a couple third place finishes. Now I don't know about the Croatian team this year.
Maybe they've fallen off a little bit, but I'm hoping to see them make a crazy run again to get into that World Cup final. Yeah, I was cheering for you. We're looking on this list. I definitely had them up there just to cheer for you. They're in a group with England, Ghana, and Panama. So it sounds tough. It sounds tough. Yeah.
Chapter 5: Which teams do the hosts predict will excel in the World Cup?
But I have no idea. Yeah, I don't know either. Okay, I got courageous. Some of the best. Oh, you like the check. The checkerboards. Yeah, I like the checkerboards. Okay, second round. Pass. Pass. Now it gets crazy. Yeah, oh yeah. This is the tough part, huh? I'll take Argentina. I know they're getting through the next round.
Not just because they're Argentina, but then you look at their group and you see Algeria, Austria, and Jordan. They're getting through. So I'll pay attention to the other teams in the group stage, and then I can pay attention to them as they move on. There's a possibility, I heard, that Argentina could play Portugal. That would be Messi versus Ronaldo.
Chapter 6: What humorous conversations arise about basketball puns?
Never happened in the World Cup. It could happen in, obviously, the bracket stage. I think the game would be played in Kansas City. Of all places. And things have to happen, of course, because it's all where you win your group or where you are in your group. Anyway, getting ahead of myself, but I'd be cool if that happened. Yes, it would be cool. Now, Portugal, they're playing in...
Miami, right? They're playing Columbia and Miami. I guess that's their group stage. It's wild to start, but then they go to Kansas City, I guess. Possibly. All right, Argentina gone. Where are you going? Spain. Good team. The favorites, I think. At least from some places. I know they've got, what's his name? Yamin Lamal. He's coming off a hamstring injury. Pedri?
I guess the guy's supposed to be a great passer. I do like Spanish national football teams, though. When did they win the World Cup? 2012? I think so. Is that when that was? They played that style where they pass it all the time. Tiki-taka or whatever it is. Iniesta. Love that guy. Love a guy that's balding who's good at sports.
So he was good Spain won in 2010 in South Africa And they beat the Netherlands one Wesley Schneider tough stuff extra time goal. Yeah, I think Spain's fine here right there in the Atlanta They are they are they're gonna kick some ass here. They're gonna be good. Yeah, they play Yeah, oh God, I'm gonna be watching them too. I don't cook but I've been making pan con tomate recently
And that is the best. I've been grinding up that tomato. Just grinding tomatoes, yeah. JD, your pick here. Okay, well, I'm staying high with the favorites here. England. Give me a minute on England. You got to do it. That's the top three gone. Spain, France, and England. England's that high, eh? England plus 650, according to Finn. Okay, bring it home. Harry Kane. Good name for a wiener?
That's my hairy cane. Yeah, actually. I agree. That's my hairy cane. Do you think hairy cane's going to be in the beaver park? Can't we keep them separate? Can't we keep our canes and our beavers separate? Do you laugh every time you see the commercial for beaver Toyota incoming? Because I do. Pretty much. I'm not. I know which one you're talking about. It's not a lot down here.
I'm not geotagged for that. I don't think I've ever seen that. All right, my second pick here in the second round. Well, I saw them play last night. I came away impressed. They got down 1-0, scored two goals. I love their kits. I'm taking South Korea. They're not going to win, but I saw some fans of theirs in Mexico doing tequila shots before the game.
I was like, yeah, that's the spirit of the world cup. Sure. And again, they came back and they had a beautiful goal. It had like, they had like 25 touches or something to lead to that one goal. So yeah, South Korea, bit of a wild card pick here, but I do love that. They have purple away kits. Cool. They're like, I don't know, like a flower flower type thing. I think they look awesome.
All right, I got Croatia and South Korea. Final round. I'm taking Mexico. Also won yesterday. Also won.
