Chapter 4: How did the Knicks perform in Game 3?
I am Shad Mill. I am Joey. As always, by my co-host, my BFF, my companion, my compadre, professional butter, Simon Hunter. Hello, Simon.
Chad, I know you're a busy man, so I'll make this quick. Over the weekend, as Chad knows, many of you might know too, my third favorite sport to watch is poker. I love Texas Hold'em, love poker. Right now it's the World Series of Poker. And I had to bring this up because it was such an incredible run.
Chapter 5: What strategies can the Knicks use to win Game 4?
Basically, there's tournaments going on right now in Vegas, World Series of Poker. And there's this guy with the last name Hall, which, Chad, you might know him. He's a pretty well-known guy in the DFS leagues. He does Daily Fantasy, and he had two ā
uh two entries in circus survivor last year so he basically was in the survivor contest won a ton of money and he's a really well-known poker player this guy so he basically heads up against um this woman who i've respected a long time named kristen foxen and she's a well-known professional player kind of blew up i guess in like 2018 2019 um really really real well respected she's basically
in this high-roll contest playing against them heads up and took them down with pocket aces in the final hand. And, you know, I think she won $1.7 million. But for a women player, it was a huge deal, right? Probably the best women's player to ever play the game. The fact that she went into... this group of the best of the best, right? It's only professionals playing.
Maybe some billionaire millionaires are in this group, but it's 25K to get into this tournament. It's all sharks. It's all killers.
Chapter 6: How does player performance affect betting predictions?
The fact that Kristen went in and won it, I think her husband, another professional player with the same last name, Foxen, was the one that gave her the bracelet. It was a pretty epic moment as someone that loves Texas Hold'em and loves that whole gambling space.
That's really cool. That's a great story. World Series of Poker is always awesome. It's super fun. And actually, I was in Vegas when it started a couple weeks ago. Speaking of $25,000, that was about the get-in price for games to the NBA Finals Game 3. at Madison Square Garden. I exaggerate, but not by much. Because tickets were insane. The vibe in the city was insane.
The vibe in the stadium was ridiculous. I thought it was going to be impossible for the Knicks to live up to the hype and the expectation.
of what was happening in that stadium so the score in the series is now 2-1 and we're going to bring in our very special guest and good friend jason timpf host of hoops tonight podcast and the volume nba expert but before we do that matt mitchell please come in because you got a really quick funny story from this past weekend thank you chad and i'll do this as quickly as i can because i i want to get to the obviously the nba talk
So last Saturday here in Wisconsin was a beautiful day. It was just a perfect June day here in America's heartland. So like a lot of dads, I got to spend that beautiful Saturday in a roller skating rink in deep Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, surrounded by farms in a single level cinder block room taken basically directly from 1976. It was inside this roller rink. Gerald Ford is still president.

Chapter 7: What adjustments are expected from the Spurs for Game 4?
It was great. I'm there for a child's birthday with my children. I love College World Series. College World Series is one of my favorite sporting events every year. I bet a lot on it. It's absolutely exhilarating to watch if you haven't enjoyed. We get there and I want to put the Super Regional on between Georgia and Mississippi State because I have a lot of money on Georgia.
We get in, they have one television. And to give you an idea of how dangerous roller skating is generally, it looked like there was someone in the DJ booth with like a sniper rifle shooting children. That's how many kids are getting in. Unbelievable looking accidents. One after the other, they're going down. Everyone looks like it's, it looks like, You know, I mean, Gerald Ford is president.
We're in Cambodia. It's like that. And they're also like Cambodia. It is sweltering inside. So it's also like picture. It's also 100 degrees and very dark.
Chapter 8: What insights can we gain from the Knicks' past playoff performances?
They got one TV golf channels on. It's not even a tournament. Just go. OK, I got to get this TV changed. And I look and I see a child is working. There's like a kid. I learned he was 14. He's got one Bluetooth headset in, like he works at like a bodega. And I flag him down and I go, hi, could you put on the Georgia baseball game on ESPN? And he goes, I'm really sorry.
They tell me I'm not allowed to change the channel. I said, would $10 change that rule? And this kid says, it sure would. And he disappears for a while, finds a remote. He and I are next to each other, shoulder to shoulder. And he's like 5'2", shoulder to shoulder with each other. And he's changing the channel. And without looking at me, he goes, got a lot of money on this game. And I go, yeah.
No response. And immediately I'm like, this is my guy.
Yeah.
Picks the game on, goes and squirrels back the remote wherever he found it. And he goes back to being the hardest working man in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. I'm watching this game. This game is insane. There were 10 home runs in the game. There were 11 the game before in this three game series. I named to win this game to move on and advance to Omaha.
I am dying, just like all of the children within my view, including my own, wiping out. And there's home runs. They're winning and losing and winning and losing. I am dying. The kids, by the way, are safe. They're with my wife. My son has learned to rollerblade in one hour. Incredible. His old man, I hate roller skating. I hate rollerblading.
I don't do any of that stuff, despite my parents' many attempts. He comes over and he's so proud and wet with sweat. And I say, I can't believe he did it. Congratulations, son. What do you want? He goes, I want a slushie. I know just the guy to serve it to us. So I go to this kid and I go, hey, I'd like a large slushie, please. Because in 1976, it was like $2. I go, okay, here's 10.
And I winked at him. I go, you can keep that, brother. He goes, wow. Thanks, man. I go, Dude, we're all in this together now. We're in the thick of it over in Athens, Georgia. And he just nods very knowingly because he'd been keeping his eye on it now too. My son gets a slushie. Everything's great. Go back to the game. It's the bottom of the eighth. George is up.
They give up a maybe 7,500 foot home run in Mississippi State that's still circling Earth's atmosphere. Now they're up by one. And I turn my head in absolute disgust. I look over and I accidentally make eye contact with this kid again. And he's spraying the deodorizing spray into a pair of roller skates. And he says to me with no emotion, That's the last thing we needed right now.
