Recorded before Game 3, I.T. and C.J. catch up on what they've been seeing from both the Spurs and the Knicks so far in this series. Brunson and KAT are playing in an incredibly organic way that just so happens to throw Wemby's game off completely. On top of that, the Spurs' role players aren't quite hitting their stride yet and it's making all the difference. If the Knicks can pull this off, it will be a Finals run for the history books. And speaking of hoop history, C.J. puts I.T. to a new test this time around – he has to blind rank 10 epic Finals moments with zero time to prep. Can you guess which moment went #1? You know we have to talk sneakers too, so I.T. and C.J. round up all the best shoe selections they've been seeing on the court. As always, we round things out with our No Days Off segment, where we shout out the unsung heroes in these exciting games. Have a question for I.T.?

Knicks vs. Spurs – Game 1 & 2 Breakdown2:02 – 15:07

C

C.J. ToledanoHost

2:02

Can the Spurs still pull this off? We're also not Spurs fans, but, like-

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:05

Yeah

C

C.J. ToledanoHost

2:05

... that was our prediction, so I'm curious what you're thinking.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:08

Um, first off, I don't think it's over.

C

C.J. ToledanoHost

2:11

No.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:11

I think they got a up- uphill battle to fight, obviously.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:15

It's gonna be super tough.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:17

Um, the Knicks, man, the Knicks, you gotta tip your hat off to the Knicks.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:21

Like they-

C

C.J. ToledanoHost

2:21

[sighs]

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:21

... they've showed...

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:22

What are they on, a 13-game winning streak?

C

C.J. ToledanoHost

2:24

Yeah.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:25

They've showed, you know, at least the last 13 games that they've been the best team in the league.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:31

And, and we've said this, though, throughout the season is when the Knicks are good, they do look like the best team in the league, and when they aren't, they obviously don't look that good.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:40

And they've...

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:42

Man, they've, they've hit it on the head at the right time, bro.

C

C.J. ToledanoHost

2:45

Yeah.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:45

Like it's...

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:46

The Spurs, I, I don't...

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:47

Like Spurs still had chances to win those two games.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:50

So like, it's not nothing like where, you know, there's concern.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:55

The only concern is it's gonna be hard to win in New York.

C

C.J. ToledanoHost

2:59

Yeah.

Isaiah ThomasHost

2:59

And then you didn't take care of business at home.
