Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 4.067 Don Levitard

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukas Podcast.

8.063 - 14.291 Stugatz

This episode of the Dan Levitart Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

14.651 - 44.009 Billy Corben

Yesterday on the show, we had a 100% innocent mistake that resulted in the worst and funniest poll question in our show's history. The number of things that have to be going on both locally and in the world for... Juju did not know who Hamas is, the Colombian soccer player, and put up a poll. It was very offensive.

0

44.049 - 59.03 Billy Corben

But it was so 100% innocent that it somehow is less offensive than, you know, Manny Fernandez's teammates calling him taco because he was Mexican. I can't believe that Cody is just sitting here.

0

59.53 - 69.026 Chris Cody

They meant it lovingly. I knew something was off when 80% was no. I mean, really? You've never been to Miami. There are Hamas jerseys everywhere.

Chapter 2: What major mistake did the crew make regarding Hamas?

69.246 - 74.055 Chris Cody

I'm like, maybe they think it's a LeBron James. Maybe that's the thing. I look over, I see Hamas.

0

74.435 - 85.995 Billy Corben

The number of things that have to be happening both in the studio, like what are the chances? We haven't talked about Hamas in 20 years doing this show. We haven't talked about the Colombian soccer player Hamas.

0

85.975 - 90.627 Chris Cody

I mean, I can understand the mistake if you're not familiar with the Hamas Rodriguez.

0

90.807 - 98.025 Mike Ryan

I mean, Mike did say everyone should have a Hamas jersey. I did. I did. I was like, damn, how else would you spell this?

0

98.406 - 101.233 Trista Crick

H-A-M-A-S does sound right.

101.72 - 103.582 Chris Cody

That's clearly Hamas.

103.902 - 125.567 Billy Corben

I don't think that anyone listening to this would read the word James and pronounce it Hamas. What it says on the back of his jersey, the first time I saw it, I'm like, why is there a Colombian guy running around out there named James? All these Brazilian players have just one name on their jersey. How's the Colombian guy named James?

126.728 - 129.153 Chris Cody

His first name. It should be Rodriguez, right?

129.695 - 137.071 Mike Ryan

I'd like to formally ask the entire audience for your forgiveness. Out of bounds off my leg. Sorry about that, coach.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the 'friendly mutton chop' in the conversation?

754.677 - 764.728 Chris Cody

He was living at the line, and that was how he was getting in his rhythm. He never looked right the entire game. That should have been a San Antonio win, but they were too sloppy with it, and they blew it, and they might have blown the series.

0

764.848 - 777.644 Billy Corben

If the Spurs are to win the series, they will be the first team in two years to beat them back-to-back. You cannot beat them back-to-back in the postseason. And the final game has to be at home. OKC does not get beaten back to back.

777.664 - 798.06 Chris Cody

Tony, you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks? I know it well. It's usually when I show up, everybody goes crazy. Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Cuervo. I walk in like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuervo is the thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does.

0

798.321 - 810.253 Chris Cody

You usually take the credit for it. But again, it's the Cuervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering. Keep it Cuervo. Keep it Cuervo, baby.

Chapter 4: How did Victor Wembanyama's actions impact the game against the OKC Thunder?

1177.45 - 1201.325 Mike Ryan

I think, though, to the Thunder's credit, they got under Wimby's skin. I think last night is proof of that. In the first half, he shoulders bumped the hell out of Wimby, going back to the timeout. And a lot of his aggression throughout that game, it didn't seem as even-keeled as it always is. And I think it reflected in that first half by him taking, like, three shots. Like, what are you doing?

0

1201.345 - 1207.153 Mike Ryan

This is for the chip now. This boy is not aggressive. I think them boys got in his head. Hartenstein deserves credit for that.

0

1207.133 - 1219.694 Chris Cody

Should De'Aaron Fox be out there? Clearly not the same kind of player. He is stinky, and he has reasons to be. That's a tough injury. But I think they navigated his absence fine, and I don't think he's helping.

0

1219.714 - 1227.306 Billy Corben

No, Mike, he's got to be out there because Castle had 21 turnovers in two games, and that's how OKC beats you. They go the other way, and they go get the easy baskets.

0

1227.326 - 1230.171 Chris Cody

Is there nothing else? Because Fox isn't giving them much.

1230.151 - 1238.246 Mike Ryan

I mean, he had eight assists and only one turnover, so I think he's serving his purpose there. If he's struggling so much, he probably can't shoot about 15 times.

1238.266 - 1252.092 Billy Corben

I'm going to say, though, the number again. 21 turnovers in two games. You cannot play OKC without a point guard. That's a recipe for disaster. You will not beat them in seven games if you don't have somebody who just is careful with the basketball.

1252.072 - 1271.867 Mike Ryan

Look, tomorrow night is obviously awesome because it's a game six and the Spurs, can they force a game seven? But we're going to watch Wimbanyama, who has been out of this world two of the five games of this series, both of which were wins. And we're going to see him in an elimination game for the very first time in his career. And it's coming off of a very poor game.

1272.828 - 1275.712 Chris Cody

Well, second time. He did make it to the IST final.

Chapter 5: What were the reactions to Wemby's controversial game performance?

1423.673 - 1433.851 Greg Cody

Whoever wins this series, I've seen enough from the Knicks. The Knicks are going to be favored in the finals to win it all. I'm just telling you right now.

0

1433.951 - 1436.115 Mike Ryan

Okay, they're going to be a massive underdog. Zero chance.

0

1436.135 - 1442.526 Chris Cody

We have ways of looking this up, Reg. They are presently not favored right now, even though there's an active series going on. Massive underdog.

0

1442.506 - 1462.731 Mike Ryan

I happen to agree with Reggie, though. That's just an opinion, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't think the sports book will reflect. But at the same time, if you look at the matchups right now with the turnovers from the Spurs and then just the overall softness of the Thunder. His chest went through yesterday two times.

0

1463.131 - 1481.546 Mike Ryan

Once by Kelton Johnson and once by Wimby for no reason, just because he wanted to. I think that's going to shine through at the next level because OKC relies on, oh, feel for us. And New York is coming straight at you no matter what. There's nothing wrong with anything you just said. It's your opinion. You may end up being right.

1481.987 - 1486.536 Mike Ryan

But you can't say that the Knicks are going to be favored because they're not. They're going to be a massive underdog.

1486.556 - 1495.23 Billy Corben

You can't. You cannot, Juju, agree with Reggie Miller when he is simply factually wrong. Like, he can have his opinion on whether he thinks the Knicks are going to win.

1495.29 - 1509.493 Mike Ryan

The difference here is Juju's saying they should be favored. I don't even think Juju's saying that. Well, that's what he kind of just said they're going to do. Yeah, I think they should be just because I'm the artist. You think they're going to win. And Reggie Miller's like, they will be, which they won't. I've seen enough. They're favored.

1510.235 - 1525.332 Chris Cody

DraftKings actually likes the Knicks a little bit more than other books. They're presently plus 205. They've only gone up a little bit since yesterday. It's a pretty big underdog. That is, and keep in mind, it'll go up once OKC, if OKC wins this. The only way it goes down is if it's the Spurs.
