I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.
Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last?

I don't know if it was in the stars, in the moon, in the zodiac signs or what, but last night I watched that overtime thriller between the Canadians and the Sabres, and then got to click over to the end of Spurs Thunder, which I had been watching in multi-view, but then like it got to overtime and I just had to watch in its full glory, the Sabres and Canadians. And it's amazing.
And I feel for Matt Mitchell, who we were watching the game, you know, texting with, who obviously loves this. I call him the Sabres, loves the Sabres. And he he's devastated. But that game was insane. But then it ended right when the Spurs and Thunder got close in the final minutes and then went into double overtime.

Chapter 5: How do the Knicks and Cavs match up in terms of player performance?
Glorious night. glorious, glorious night of sports worth staying up. Wait, my kid who's back from college got home just as overtime of the Canadians was starting. And he's like, I cannot believe you're still up. And then we got to stay up till like midnight. It was like we were
You know, when we when we did last night with my dream of what Embiid was going to be for the Sixers, honestly, like that, just a big man with freakish feet because they played soccer as a kid. And it's just that you're not supposed to move that way at that height.
Chapter 6: What insights do experts provide on betting for the NBA Finals?
And yeah, like we've talked about, you know, the NBA has changed all sports or always evolving, always changing sports. He is an alien. When you come into the league, he was going to be an alien. But he could have all the talent in the world to take over at the end of that game. Like you're saying, you're sitting there on your couch watching that overtime game.
And it's like, this is all you want as a fan of sports, right? The best player, the ball in their hand, just taking it over. Saying it's either we're either going to win this because of me or we'll lose because of me. And that was... You know, something that, like, we'll see.
Chapter 7: What betting odds should you consider for the Knicks and Cavs series?
That's a one-off. If they don't win any other game after that, it means nothing. Or we just saw that moment, Chad, right, of Wemby. pretty much putting his imprint on this league. So, yeah, I'm excited to dive into some hoops today.
Well, listen, I got so many opinions on what that moment was for Wemby, for the Spurs, for the Thunder. We got four teams left. We got the Spurs and the Thunder who tipped off last night.
Chapter 8: What are the overall predictions for the NBA Finals based on current performance?
We got the Cavs and the Knicks tipping off tonight, returning to discuss all of it. Our volume brother from Hoops Tonight's I feel like he's one of the hottest voices in the NBA right now. His name is Jason Timp, and he's joining us today. And we're privileged. Jason, good to see you, brother.
It's good to see you guys, too. You know, anybody who's ever done this for a living knows that there are some days where we come in and there's not that much exciting stuff to talk about. And we do our jobs because we're pros, but it's a little bit harder than it is on some other days.
And then there are days you come in and you have something like what happened last night, and then you just feel really lucky to do what we do for a living. And that was just one of those special moments in sports history. I just can't get over...
Forget about how good he played, how early he is in his career, because I'd argue that game three against Minnesota wasn't this good, but it was also one of the better playoff games you've seen a player play in a really long time. It was just an unbelievable performance, and I'm glad we get to talk about it today.
So listen, we are going to get to the betting stuff because there's still betting opportunities for Spurs and Thunder. And and Knicks and Cavs tips off tonight. And so we want to get to that. But you had a masterclass in discussing when Benyama's performance. Matt, play the clip for us and then I'll give you my opinion.
That was quite simply one of the greatest basketball games that any human being has ever played in the history of the sport. He was by far the best defensive player on the floor by a mile. He was by far the best offensive player on the floor by a mile. He was by far the best rebounder on the floor by a mile. This is a guy we're talking about that had a Shaquille O'Neal-esque 40-20 game.
And the defining moment of the game was him taking and making a 30-footer to tie the game and send it to double overtime. He dominated the game like a center with 40-20. And the defining moment was him pulling the Steph Curry and OKC. What you saw was the next great player in NBA history achieve a level of basketball that
Like, I would be hard pressed to find other games where I was like, that dude played better than Victor did in this game.
I look so completely agree. All morning, the entire conversation took me, if people hear sirens, by the way, it's because I'm at my mother-in-law's in Manhattan. And, you know, she lives within three blocks of 8 million hospitals. So you might be distracted. But I had a three hour drive into the city because Long Island Railroad is on strike. So it's impossible to get into the city.
