What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, it's Tony.
What happened during Tony's power outage?
I lost power at my house last night, and I'm pretty sure that the power company doesn't really care. But the show must go on, so we're doing the show from Michael's house. We have a packed show for you today. House Minority Leader and Binghamton alum Hakeem Jeffries, Brian Windhorst, and Barry Zvilluga will all join us. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
When I play with people better than I am, you might think I play a little bit better, but then I have terrible shots that take me out of holes. I had two triples yesterday, so it wasn't like I was really good. I had two triples. You know, I tripled 11 and 14 on the back. But I play better. So now Michael and I are playing this Saturday in the father-son tournament. Usually by the third hole. Circle number three. We're not talking. Tony, three putts.
Put you down for five. The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
Here is the haiku from Shared Wistful Memories, or it's the silent treatment. It's 50-50. Already checking pit positions. We've got a million things to talk about today, but we're going to start with the minority leader of the United States House of Representatives, the most important Binghamton grad. Now, Flo is the most famous, but Hakeem Jeffries is the most important, and he's a New Yorker, and he represents... a seat in one of the five boroughs of New York City. And he's a Knicks fan. The only question to start with is, were you there? Did you go to the game?
Well, good morning. Great to be back with you. I was not there. We were in Washington, D.C. We had votes that day. It was also the congressional baseball game that day as well, the annual game for charity. But I did watch the game, of course, with several other new york members of congress and we were in agony uh... throughout the first half and then an ecstasy as the next made that historic run to come back and ultimately win tell the truth i mean i grew up as a knicks fan i begged the game because there's no way they could possibly win that game did you really think they could win that game you know it's interesting we thought it was possible i certainly thought it was possible in part because you know
Last year we came back in Boston, I think not once but twice, against Boston's full squad. And so we had demonstrated resiliency last year, this very same team. And then, of course, this year we had, I think it was game one against the Cavs when we came back over 20 points down in the middle of the fourth quarter. And, of course, we've been down in this series nothing close to 29 points every other game. and came back to win certainly in Game 1 and Game 2 and made it close in Game 3. So there was what I would say is a modicum of hope that they could at least continue to cut the lead of the Spurs and maybe make it a game.
Well, and the Spurs certainly helped them with taking threes all the time with like 10 seconds going in the clock. I mean, a coach has to call a team together and say, there's a reason it's a 24-second clock. We're not shooting until 20 because we can run this thing out. Didn't you watch that and say to yourself, what are the Spurs doing?
You know, I was watching that and saying to myself, they should just keep shooting because they were missing. You know, I mean, the other thing, Tony, that was interesting. During the first half, they were hitting everything. And so it was an open question. Can they sustain this throughout all four quarters? And then in the third quarter, we kind of got the answer. No, they can't sustain it. But that was interesting that the adjustments weren't made, you know, by the Spurs coach. Meanwhile, you know, we were able to see – continuing adjustments ultimately to get to the right combination of players that Mike Brown made, which has been, I think, you know, one of the most important aspects of this run, his capacity to make adjustments and to actually use the bench.
Yeah, Mike Brown is a professional coach who's been at it for 15 to 20 years, been hired, been fired, done well, done poorly.
