Aaron and Arnie start off the show discussing the 76ers finally getting over the hump and defeating the Celtics in a series for the first time since 1982. Aaron argues it was more about the Celtics missing shots and sticking to a gameplan that wasn't working. Still, both of them applaud Joel Embiid's toughness to finish that game and dominate in a Game 7. The guys discuss the fascination with LeBron vs. Jordan debates going on right now and why LeBron's performance against a Kevin Durant-less Rockets team shouldn't decide the GOAT debate. Aaron and Arnie discuss which NBA team is NBA's sweetheart the rest of the way and why it could actually be a team from Philadelphia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A caller from Boston asks the question. We eventually settle on the notion of Al Dukes being his communities neighborhood watchman.
We debate whether the Celtics or Sixers are the ideal Knicks matchup and Al's role as the Bradley Beach "neighborhood watch." Jerry's got Mike Breen's call of the Knicks' blowout, Mike Brown's praise for player detail, and a full NBA playoff wrap-up. After another Mets loss to the Nationals and a "Moment of the Day" featuring Shaq and Gio out of context, we wonder if Phil Simms was accidentally booked for a golf tour instead of Boomer. We wrap with a look ahead to this Sunday's Five Borough Bike Tour.
We reflect on the Knicks' dominance over the Hawks and Gio's regular-season fears regarding a potential Pistons matchup before hoping for the Celtics as a preferred next opponent. Jerry's update features the sounds of the Knicks' blowout alongside Mike Brown's "coach of the year" speech. After the Mets drop another game on a failed pinch-hit move, we wrap with Rick Fox sounding unrecognizable during a Bahamas confrontation and a look at Eddie's "chameleon" accent.
We kick off with the Knicks' historic destruction of the Hawks, a blowout so lopsided it featured a 72-22 lead and sent New York to wait for a Celtics-Sixers Game 7. Jerry's update covers Mike Brown's postgame reaction, the Sixers forcing their series limit, and the Mets' 5-4 loss to the Nationals featuring a philosophical Luke Weaver. We wrap with the breaking update on a JP Morgan scandal, now being labeled a "complete fabrication" by the New York Post.
We break down the Knicks' historic destruction of the Hawks and a Celtics-Sixers Game 7 while discussing Shaq's challenge to KAT. After hitting on a Mets loss, we address Gio's preference for a Celtics matchup over Shaq's "no bad game" claims. We touch on the Russini-Vrabel saga. Jerry's got a full NBA/NHL roundup, we look at the Mets' coaching failures, Al's "neighborhood watch" role, and a Shaq/Gio "Moment of the Day." We wrap with a potential Phil Simms golf booking mix-up.
Jerry starts with Knicks highlights and Mike Brown in the postgame about the dominant performance. We heard from some of the Hawks players after the game. We heard the sounds of the Sixers beating the Celtics to force a game 7, Howie Rose on the call as the Nationals homered to take the 5-4 lead, which is how the Mets game ended. We heard from Luke Weaver after the game and he was very philosophical about the ‘pursuit of perfection'.
Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the sounds of Mike Breen as the Knicks blew out the Hawks. We heard from Mike Brown after the game about the players' attention to detail. Jerry went around the NBA playoffs. The Moment of The Day: Shaq and Gio taken out of context.
