Meditieren, Yoga, Joggen— nichts entspannt mich. Echt? Mich entspannt meine Steuer total. Steuer? Wie Finanzamt? Die Steuererklärung? Ja, ich hab ganz locker über 1000 Euro zurückbekommen. Hast du geheime Connections? Nö, nur die WISO Steuer App.
Wow!
Und das ist einfach? Klar, die macht fast alles automatisch. Plötzlich fühle ich mich so entspannt. Hol dir dein Geld zurück. Tiefenentspannt mit WISO Steuer.
That's right, Thursday Thunder is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Go ahead, Juju. Yes sir, man, welcome to the big stage, Dylan Harper. My brother will get you 11.5 points tomorrow in the tilt. Game 2, lock it in, man. Next leg, I'm going with Mickey, Mickey, Mickey, F them picks, Mikal Bridges, but also over 11.5 points tomorrow night. Game 2, a big one. Hey yo, last leg, I'm going with my brother the Green Cornet, AKA Luke Kornet for under 2.5 points. Don't bet on my boy tomorrow.
That's one of my favorite picks you've ever made, Junior.
Wow. I mean, he gets one basket, all of a sudden we're in the pressure cooker.
You're panicking.
I love that.
Yes, sir. Lock it in. The crown is yours.
There you go. Uh, Juju, are we gonna get a classic series? What'd you make of last night, man?
Them Knicks, bruh. This is exactly what I was seeing last— the last couple of series from the Knicks is, but they just have that extra gear of don't give a damn, I'm gonna go through your chest when it matters the most. No matter what the score is, you can never count this Knicks team out because they have everybody on that court. Landry Shamet up to, uh, McHale up to Deuce. Every time Deuce chunk up anything, the whole crowd, Deuce, bro, that is electric, bro. So I believe in the Knicks. I think if you're not, if you're not rooting for the Knicks, you're an American right now.
Game 3 at the Garden on Monday night is either going to be for the Knicks to go up 2 games to 1 or to go up 3 games to none and essentially win the series. Like if the Knicks win tomorrow, then the— then Monday night's for the NBA championship, essentially.
Yeah, it does feel like that, basically.
But that's—
yeah, that's wild.
Mitch should tinker with them lineups a little bit though, because at the end of the day, the toughness that they're being able to show against Wemby— he getting elbows, sternum elbow, jersey grab. You need at least another big man out there sometime. Play with the double big lineup and see if that can get you some boards. Because Josh Hart having 15 rebounds, uh-uh. The cat having 12, we can't have that. We need some type of defensive stopper on that court with Wemby.
The really confusing part, Juju, is like, you can ultimately put Wemby in a better position offensively and as a rebounder if you would just run a few more pick and rolls with him. The amount of times where he was the primary ball handler was really— especially down the stretch, was really confusing. And, and when De'Aaron Fox is playing poorly, there's more of an understanding of like, all right, let the game roll. But if you have Dylan Harper in there at the end, and just to kind of settle everything, let the man roll to the hoop because you're gonna get some putbacks there too, or oops on the other— like, it just didn't make any sense to me. And, and I imagine those will be some of the adjustments down the stretch.
Yeah, bro, De'Aaron Fox to me made the game's blunder with under 2 minutes left. He had a shot from the key, like from the elbow, but Stephon Castle was wide open under the goal and he chose to shoot that elbow jumper, clanked it. Knicks got 2. So I think, yeah. And to what you were saying, Zaza, about the, uh, the ticket prices— oh my goodness, that's why I keep this thing so close to me as a Celtics fan. My Celtics are out, we're ass, yes, fill in the blank, but I got to see my Celtics win a championship with my own two eyes. Nobody could ever take that away from me. I don't care if we ever win another one. How about that? Let's go Knicks!
Juju, we'll get to the polls in a quick second here. How incredible was us introducing Dan to 82-0? I couldn't believe it. I, I spent an hour straight yesterday playing it. The best I did was 77 wins. And the very first— we do it live, the very first time that we do it, 82-0.
He nailed the unbelievable luck of the very— not, not just in his first game overall getting Wilt Chamberlain. The very first spin that he ever takes part of in '82 and— oh, okay, '60s, you got Warriors in the '60s. We were setting it up of, hey, the cheat code is this, and he got the cheat code on the first roll. It was an electric moment.
Yeah, that's a good game though.
Electrifying moment on the internet today. The chat went nuts. Really? I went nuts. I'm sitting here watching y'all. I was jumping up and down like I I made, made 82-0. So yes, sir, electric.
Like, there's no way anyone watching it live would have thought that— like, there's no way they could accuse us of rigging it.
No, you can't. No, you can't.
It's amazing.
It's good stuff. Uh, Juju, let's get to the polls here. What do we got for today? What do we have?
Yes, sir, man. Do Jersey City people consider themselves New Yorkers? 80% of the audience says yes, they do.
Okay, okay.
Outside looking in.
If you have a little pride for your own state, but whatever.
If a little birdie told you something, would you be terrified? 82% of the audience says yes, they would.
Yeah, like if a little birdie started talking to me, I feel like my first reaction, I would try and kill it. Be like, this is not okay, I gotta kill this thing.
Suffering suckatash. Am I having a stroke?
Are they spying on me type?
That's the best of it.
I'm scared of this bird, this talking bird. I would try and kill it.
Yeah, they're not real.
I don't want to alarm you, Zazz, but there are thousands of cuck chairs behind you. Do not turn around, please. Is there such a thing as a 6-star recruit? 70% of the audience says no, Zazz. I'm sorry.
Let me ask you something. When you're in high school and you're calculating your GPA, I mean, an A is 4 points. That's the highest it goes. So how do some kids have a 5 GPA? How? How's that happen?
They think they're smarter than everybody else. How's that happen, smart guy?
How's that happen?
They think they're smarter than everybody else and they take classes that say so. You're looking at it the wrong way. It's out of 100. You can't get an A++. Yeah. You can only get an A+. That's how 5 stars works.
You're welcome.
You got the player out of 100. And then if you got like a 99, you're like the best. 100, the best. You can't, you can't be 107.
Nope. Does Mario Cristobal see everything? 55% of the audience says yes, he does.
Tell you what Mario Cristobal is never going to see, and that's Michael Yormark, the athletic director at University of Miami. Never going to see that.
Is the most famous game Karl-Anthony Towns ever played a practice? 82% of the audience says yes, it is. Will Tortorella ever have to pay for a drink again in Las Vegas? 84% of the audience says no, he will not. This is the United States of Tortorella.
That makes no sense. What, what if the Hurricanes win the next 4 games? Hey, Tort, you don't ever have to pay for a drink. Never. Makes sense.
And last poll, is America rooting for the Knicks or the Spurs? 56% of the audience says the Knicks. And those are your polls.
Yeah, I could see that. Good job, Juju.
