Chris Canty says he'd be shocked if the Knicks beat the Celtics in the second round, igniting a fiery NBA debate.
The episode opens with Chris Canty teasing Michelle Smallmon for omitting soul food from her food bracket, setting a lighthearted tone. The conversation quickly shifts to NBA playoffs, where Canty states he'd be shocked if the Knicks beat the Celtics in a second-round series, prompting debate about team matchups and injuries. Evan Cohen provides stats on the Knicks' seeding possibilities. Tim Bontemps, ESPN NBA reporter, joins by phone to discuss playoff strategies, noting the Celtics are favorites but beatable, and highlights the Knicks' improving synergy between Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. Bontemps also addresses potential NBA coaching firings, the Kings' controversial foul, Joel Embiid's appendectomy, and Giannis Antetokounmpo's status with the Bucks. Later, Bonzi Wells appears to promote the Netflix documentary 'Untold: Jailblazers,' explaining the team's misunderstood reputation and drawing parallels to the current Pistons' grit. Finally, 1987 Masters champion Larry Mize recounts his famous chip shot, describing the mental calmness required and sharing details about the Champions Dinner menu selection. The episode blends sports analysis, interviews, and personal anecdotes across basketball and golf.
