The Toronto Raptors delivered a stunning statement win on the road, absolutely annihilating the Milwaukee Bucks 122-94 at Fiserv Forum without their All-Star Scottie Barnes, who was out for personal reasons. Immanuel Quickley was the standout star of the night, pouring in 32 points—including 5-of-11 from deep—while dishing out 9 assists to lead a complete and electric offensive attack. The bench provided excellent depth and energy, with Jamal Shead and Sandro Mamukelashvili stepping up big to keep the momentum rolling. Toronto turned up their defensive aggression significantly, suffocating Milwaukee and snapping the Bucks' three-game win streak in the process. Jakob Poeltl looked noticeably sharper and more mobile in the paint, while head coach Darko Rajaković made some sharp, effective adjustments that unlocked a dominant, all-around team performance from start to finish in this impressive blowout victory.

0:00 ... Ross hello, welcome, and introduces the crew. 0:35 ... Episode #154 is dedicated to Sandro Mamukelashvili, who was drafted #54 in the 2021 NBA Draft 1:19 ... Knicks/Pistons discussion which includes a breakdown of the controversial "non call" at the end of game 4 which may have cost the Pistons the series. 3:25 ... Bruce feels like the Pistons should get every 50/50 call in game 5 to try and make up for the non-call in game 4 and he also was super impressed with Jalen Brunson's 4th quarter performance in game 4. World B has massive praise for Karl-Anthony Towns. 7:50 ... Celtics/Magic discussion which includes Bruce's feelings that Orlando's toughness really tested Boston and helped prepare them for their upcoming series by forcing them to find ways to score other than with 3 point shooting. World B feels like the Magic have played really well but lack the offensive firepower to defeat Boston. 11:47 ... Bruce asks Ross and World B if the Knicks have the type of personnel to play Boston the way Orlando has. Ross and World B differ in their responses. 14:36 ... Bucks/Pacers discussion ... the big story is that Damian Lillard tore his achilles tendon on Sunday and will likely miss most of next season. Bruce is worried that Giannis Antetokounmpo will ask to be traded now that Lillard is on the shelf and suggests that Oklahoma City has the assets needed to make the Bucks a solid offer for Giannis and that Milwaukee should be on the phone pursuing a deal. World B feels like the Pacers are really clicking and are back to their hot January form. Ross credits the Pacers defense for their success. 19:38 ... Lakers/Timberwolves discussion ... World B feels like LeBron James and Luka Doncic may have what it takes to win 3 straight games and dig themselves out of a 3-1 deficit, but the Timberwolves are playing like a team that can handle their business and move on. Bruce felt that the Lakers were worn down by the Wolves in Sunday's 4th quarter as LA coach JJ Redick used just 5 players in the final quarter. Bruce praised Naz Reid's work and nicknamed him "Nuclear Naz" because of his explosive play. Ross with an amazing fact about Redick's historic "non use" of his bench in the second half of Sunday's game. 24:45 ... Clippers/Nuggets discussion ... Aaron Gordon's dunk on Saturday will go down in Nuggets lore and will be talked about forever, but the guys were also impressed by the way Gordon stood up for his teammate Christian Braun when the Clippers took exception to a foul Braun committed just before halftime. World B feels it has been a great series that will go 7 games and thinks the Clippers can win another road game in Denver. 28:09 ... Bruce wants James Harden to come up with a monster game in game 5, which is something he has never really done in the playoffs. 30:08 ... Bruce asks his co-hosts if Nikola Jokic is now on the very short list of the 5 greatest centers of all-time? And can he be considered the greatest International player of all-time? 31:13 ... Thunder/Grizzlies discussion ... the guys discuss whether the long layoff that OKC has earned after sweeping Memphis will negatively affect the team at the start of their next series. Ross feels that Chet Holmgren will benefit the most from a long layoff between series as he'll need to have maximum energy against either Jokic or Ivika Zubac in the next round. If the Nuggets advance and play OKC, we'll see the top two MVP candidates squaring off with Jokic vs Shai Gilgeous Alexander. 35:22 ... Cavaliers/Heat discussion ... Whatever happened to Heat Culture after being swept by the Cavs and losing game 3 by 37 points and game 4 by 55 points? Bruce feels like the Heat roster will look a whole lot different next season after the way they flamed out this season. While the Cavs had it easy against Miami, everyone expects the Cavs to be tested by Indiana in the next round. 44:15 ... Warriors/Rockets discussion ... are the Rockets in trouble trailing 2-1 with game 4 on Monday night? Everyone agrees that game 4 is a "must win" for Houston. If Houston can improve their shooting, they can come back in the series. But that's a big IF. 48:06 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye TRT 48:33

Rick Pitino's reflective comments were played, and the show marked the five-year anniversary of the COVID-19 shutdown, prompting further discussion of the Knicks' disappointing performance. Hour 2 Jerry opened the hour with news of the Sea Hear Now festival and Guns N' Roses' drummer's departure, sparking a debate with Boomer over fresh versus old coffee. They discussed the NFL's proposed playoff seeding changes, with Boomer favoring divisional wins. C-Lo's update was delayed as Boomer promoted his charity bike tour, and a caller highlighted Boomer's ranking as a top Long Island athlete. C-Lo finally delivered his update, featuring the Knicks' loss to the Spurs and Ben Stiller's comments on his Knicks fandom during a Kelce brothers podcast appearance. Hour 3 St. John's broadcaster John Minko calls in from Providence to talk about tonight's St. John's game, which starts after Mink's bedtime, at 9:45pm. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Rick Pitino talking about enjoying the ride with St. John's. The Knicks lost to the Spurs without Jalen Brunson. In the final segment of the hour, we were watching Boomer's comeback with the Cardinals over the Eagles in a 1996 game. Hour 4 Jerry observed that fans often fixate on championships, questioning if Mets fans can enjoy the season beyond postseason expectations. Boomer added that fan frustration extends to players underperforming their contracts and impacting betting outcomes. Meanwhile, Angels manager Ron Washington implemented a no-phone policy in the clubhouse. Jerry then tested Boomer with headline-based true or false questions. C-Lo's final update included Boomer's misprediction of a nine-game Knicks winning streak, a Yankee player's unusual in-game eye doctor visit, and Brett Favre's inquiry about the JFK files and a potentially fake UFO memo. The "Moment of the Day" centered on Boomer's morning coffee routine, and the segment concluded with a discussion on the 32.5-point spread in a first-round game, which was not for St. John's.
