Chapter 2: What were the highlights from Game 1 of the NBA Finals?
You can't watch that game and come to any other conclusion than this. Throw the kitchen sink at Brunson. Make somebody else beat you. And Stephon Castle did a good job, but the Knicks are setting so many screens. Josh Hart may be 6'5". He plays like a power forward. And here's the other thing. You got to keep Brunson healthy, and some of it's random, but you got to keep him fresh.
And he took 31 shots last night. And the question is, because we've seen bigger guards like Luka and James Harden run out of gas when they're jacking up 30 shots early in a series. And this is the finals now. This is not the East. This is the finals, and it's going to be a super physical series. So are you going to get 31 shots in this kind of great fourth quarter play in game six or game seven?
Here's the good news for the Knicks. They use, I mean, Josh Hart, they have so many complimentary pieces. Josh Hart led the Knicks in assists, 15 rebounds, four steals. And that's the thing where it felt like it was all Wembley. Bridges, Josh Hart, the Villanova guys last night. And I think this is a real thing.
Chapter 3: How did the Knicks defend Wemby in Game 2?
When the Villanova trio was on the floor, the Knicks were plus 39. And so there's a lot of takeaways in this game last night. One of them is how complimentary the Knicks are. Cat plan defense. All the assists and steals from Hart. Bridges. I mean, he finally missed a free throw. Bridges played well.
Just so many different guys, many of them Villanova guys, very much a collective, very collaborative team. I do worry because I think San Antonio is going to throw everything at Brunson. I think they, I mean, if you watch that game, Mitch Johnson's watching the tape on that with a team. You got to get Brunson off his spots. You got to push him into places. He's uncomfortable. He got good looks.
Now he also hit a couple of tough shots, but he was getting too many good looks. It's not just keeping him healthy. The Knicks have to maintain the ability to let him be off ball in key spots, going to need more scoring maybe, more ball in the hands of Cat. But Cat last night felt like, to me, his role was to bang on Wemby. That's what it kind of felt like last night.
Their assignment last night for the Knicks was, we'll give the ball to Brunson late, but we're going to make a statement against Wemby. And boy, did they. Here's Jalen after the win.
It's a mixture of us playing good defense and us obviously getting a little lucky. But they come ready to play more than any other team that we faced. It just goes back to having each other's back. You never know what's really going to happen. And so being together on the court and players are going to happen, you can't really script what's really going to go on.
Just making sure we're going out there playing for each other.
Yeah, Wemby last night was two for 11. when guarded by Cat. So the formula for the Knicks was, let's get off first six, seven minutes. Okay, we're rusty. Let's get off to a really intense start. Refs let them play. Knicks did. Knicks are going to win the fourth quarter in this series. That's another downside for the Spurs.
Since they've been keeping track of fourth quarter offense, like the Knicks are the best ever. This team is so good late in games. Now, it was compounded because the Spurs... I mean, they didn't have their legs. It was real. They were airballing three-point shots. Maybe it's nerves, but I think by the fourth quarter, you're at home. I don't think nerves. I think it was just they were exhausted.
So now everybody's on equal rest. That should change Friday. J-Mac, I think you and I both, because I followed you last night, I think both of us came to the conclusion that Knicks had much better energy late in this. They all had great energy in the first half. Second half, Knicks had much better energy. But were you at all concerned with San Antonio looked... kind of disorganized offensively.

Chapter 5: Why should Notre Dame consider joining a conference?
And I'm just astonished and glad that he's turned into the same kind of player that his dad was always preaching about growing up. You know, it's funny. You played for Memphis. They have the third pick. They have the third pick. You played with Carlos Boozer, his dad. Many think they're going to draft Cam Boozer. And I heard a criticism of Cam Boozer. People said, well, he's not super athletic.
And my take is, well, is Luka Luka? I mean, is Jalen Brunson the best athlete? Like, he knows how to play basketball. That's what I care about. When you, I mean, tell me you, and when I watch Cam Boozer, I see Carlos. Carlos wasn't the most athletic guy.
Talk a little bit about Carlos and Cam Boozer, because sometimes I think in the NBA, we think everybody's this 10-star athlete, and a lot of basketball is knowing how to play the game. Your thoughts on Cam and Carlos Boozer? First, I got to say shout out to Memphis and Zach Kleinman and the whole front office. They got a big decision to make. It should be exciting.
It should be really exciting for the city of Memphis. But again, but your question with Carlos, he's just a great guy. He's a great teammate. And just being around his kids back then, And to see the way that all of them basically turned out, even Cam being a superstar kind of player that he's been coming to, I'm just so happy for him. He's a super humble player, super humble kid.
He's been winning for forever. So you can't really miss with this group of guys coming into this draft, in my opinion. Okay, finally, you are 41 at the end of the month. LeBron is 41 now. You're the second oldest player. I know. Look at that. So you don't need the money. You've had a great life. Yes. But you obviously love basketball, and it's an amazing life.
There was a story a couple of days ago that came out from a reporter who's a very trustable guy, Tim Kawakami. He's been covering the league forever, and he said, just keep your eye on LeBron. And the Warriors, he loves Steph. He vacations with Draymond. The Lakers have to sign Austin Reeves. And LeBron doesn't want to be the third option. Could you see, I mean, you've bounced around.
Could you see LeBron playing and saying, I got one year left. I'm going to go play with Curry. I always wanted to play with him. Does that sound crazy to you or not? It really doesn't because the NBA is all about surprises. Our league's been growing. Our league keeps the fans entertained. And it's all about LeBron. What more does he have to prove? He's a superstar talent.
He's been holding our league down for so many years. We just give it to LeBron, man. Let him make his choice and just ride out with it. I would hope to see him back with the Lakers. I think that's a good fit for him, but we'll see. The NBA is always a special time and look forward to hearing some special news come real soon. By the way, why do you still play at 41? You just love his line?
To be honest with you, the phone calls just keep coming all through the years. Even when I was playing with the Knicks, having Leon call me off the couch to come and tell me that you have a couple minutes for me, And I was always thrilled with that whole aspect of guys calling me and being ready to come in and play. I'm just following my path.
