What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to the Saturday Slammin' Jam. I'm your host, Andrew Schlecht. On today's show, we're talking about the Utah Jazz. We're going to do some trivia, but before we do any of that, Alex, tell me what happened in the NBA this week.
Andrew, our top story this week is the world champion New York Knicks, who won the NBA Cup this week, beating the San Antonio Spurs 124-113 in Las Vegas. Jalen Brunson scored 25 points in the game, winning the NBA Cup MVP. But the most impressive performance might have been Mitchell Robinson, who grabbed 15 rebounds in only 18 minutes of play, including 10 offensive rebounds. For all you cupheads out there, that is definitely the most offensive rebounds in an NBA Cup final history. Oh. Now, despite the big win, it was reported after the game that the Knicks would not be hanging a banner to celebrate the NBA Cup win. Boo. The announcement was a massive disappointment for all Cup respecters, but was welcome news for all the Atlantic Division respecters.
Thankfully, the Knicks' five Atlantic Division banners, which celebrate the seasons when the Knicks were better than four teams, will still hang proudly in MSG. The Knicks have now won six in a row, only a game and a half back of the Pistons. Now for the Spurs, it was a disappointing end to their cup run, but there's still a lot to be excited about. First, to make it to the finals, the Spurs had arguably the biggest win of the season, defeating the Thunder 111-109 in the semifinals.
What happened in the NBA this week?
Unlike OKC's first loss of the season, the Thunder were healthy, playing their normal starting lineup for the first time this season. OKC could not overcome minutes restriction. Victor Weminyama, who returned to the Spurs bench for the first time in a month. Wemby scored 22 points and was a game high plus 21 in only 21 minutes. Now, the other thing for Spurs fans to be excited about is the recent history of NBA Cup finals losers. Two years ago, the Pacers. bounced back from their devastating Cup loss and made the Eastern Conference Finals.
How did the Knicks perform in the NBA Cup?
Last year, the Thunder rebounded from literally their worst game of the season against the Bucs in the Cup Finals and won the championship. Could the Spurs be the next team to use their NBA Cup loss as fuel for a deep postseason run? One team that probably won't be making a deep postseason run is the Golden State Warriors. And when that reality begins to sink in for a proud franchise, what else is there to do but email the billionaire over it? This week, Warriors fan Justin Dutari did just that after searching for and finding an email for Warriors owner Joe Lacob. Justin sent off an email voicing his frustrations about the need for a real second option, a true center, complaining about the immense burden on Steph Curry.
Surprisingly, Joe Lacob quickly responded, writing, quote, You can't be as frustrated as me. I am working on it. It's complicated. Style of play. Coach's desires regarding players. League trends. Jimmy is not the problem. How many fan bases saw this story and were like, what the hell, you could just find their email and yell at them? The fan has a point, though, because this week, Steph Curry broke Michael Jordan's record for most 40-point games after turning 30 when Steph dropped 48 in a game against the Blazers, and yet it wasn't enough as the Blazers won 136-131. The Warriors have now lost three in a row, dropping to 13-15, ninth in the Western Conference. Now, we didn't have a lot of games this week because of the NBA Cup, so let's talk about some of the crazy results we did get on Thursday night, our first night with a full slate of games in a bit.
One game, after getting an impressive road win in Boston, cementing their place atop the Eastern Conference, the Pistons dropped an overtime game to the Dallas Mavericks, 116-114. The Mavs have won six of their last eight, and in one of those games they did lose, Cooper Flagg set an historic NBA record, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score 40 points after he scored 42 in a loss to our Utah Jazz, breaking a record previously held by LeBron.
