00:00 But we're not done quite yet in the Western Conference finals a third
00:04 consecutive overtime game in the Eastern Conference finals on the ice in the Stanley Cup postseason
00:10 And a ton of Major League Baseball to recap after Memorial Day weekend as well a lot to get to here
00:17 Drs in these three hours up until 11 a.m. Eastern
00:21 Clap your hands
00:23 Everybody why is that we're gonna have more?
00:25 Basketball in the Western Conference and we love to see it even though I did think the Mavericks would wrap it up last night
00:31 But as I told you repeatedly Ben, I was hoping that wasn't the case
00:34 But having said that a crowed a lot yesterday about triple-double look at that. It's got loose
00:39 I had a 50 to 1 same game parlay that involved a triple-double
00:45 Yeah for Anthony Edwards and came up one
00:49 Assist short of getting that 50 to 1 parlay yesterday
00:53 So tough scene but I sort of feel vindicated because I kept saying he's gonna all be on the verge of doing it all
00:59 He did it last night just needed one more assist couldn't get it
01:02 But a great performance for the T wolves and we're headed back to Minneapolis
01:06 Drs in the business of sports handicapping
01:09 It's hard to pat yourself on the back because you hit nearly as often as you miss
01:14 So if you celebrate then you must degrade at the same time
01:18 It can't be just highlighting the good but letting go of the bad
01:22 So I'm not going to necessarily pat ourselves on the back
01:25 But I will say I think we were pretty spot-on
01:28 overall in the handicap of game number four of the Western Conference finals last night in Texas the Mavericks up three games to none and
01:36 Three game number four Minnesota trying to stave off elimination and keep this season and this series
01:42 Afloat to head back to the Twin Cities and that's what the Timberwolves do
01:47 They win by five in game number four to force a game number five
01:52 105 100
01:54 Outright as a short one and a half point underdog on the road in Dallas for the first time in this series
01:59 Minnesota wins a basketball game for the first time in this series the total of 211 does stay under an Anthony
02:08 Edwards and Carl Anthony towns found their groove last night cat big in the second half to the tune of
02:15 25 Anthony Edwards scores 29 both players over their points prop they combined for
02:21 54 as Minnesota wins its first game in the WCF a 3-1 series lead now for Dallas
02:27 But the Timberwolves victorious 105 100
02:30 We were waiting on cat we were waiting on the big guy to do some big things in midway through the fourth quarter back-to-back
02:36 Possessions draining triple and then another triple here which gave the Timberwolves back the lead for good and that 105 100 victory
02:43 Anthony Edwards also 29 10 and 9 all I hate to say that - this would have been a magnificent performance
02:49 But we were waiting on the two superstars to show up
02:51 They did that more basketball here and Anthony Edwards said it best in the postgame press conference again. Michael Parsons is sitting there
02:58 Hey, man, I see you got some shoes on I'm gonna bring you some real nice shoes for game number six
03:02 We'll see you back here. We'd love to see a game six in this series. I'm not gonna lie
03:06 The Dallas Mavericks still a win away from the NBA Finals the Dallas stores a few wins away
03:12 From the Stanley Cup final our most recent champion in baseball
03:16 The Texas Rangers in Arlington not far away from the city center of Dallas
03:22 That would leave the Cowboys is the only team that has failed to even sniff a conference
03:27 Championship in the last 25 plus years and yet the Cowboys in attendance last night
03:32 Did they put the tie boss on the Mavericks from winning this series in?
03:37 Only for plenty more reaction from game number four of the Western Conference Finals and we're glad we still have NBA
03:44 Playoff basketball to discuss this week not two sweeps in both of the conference finals
03:50 Now we go to the ECF in the Stanley Cup postseason for the third straight game
03:55 We see an extra session of overtime, but this time it's the Panthers victorious coming back to take game number four on home ice
04:03 Three to two down one nothing after the first they scored two in the second the Rangers equalized in regulation
04:10 Florida wins it in OT this series tied at two games all the Panthers were a minus 170 money line home ice favorite last night
04:18 Yeah, Panera got two points last night adding his ninth and tenth assist of the playoffs
04:23 But also we talked about overtime you said like oh, was it a long grind?
04:26 Oh, we're play a minute in to the first overtime period Sam Reinhart gets that goal and now we're tied up at two to two
04:32 This is what we were supposed to have a best of three now moving forward in the Eastern Conference finals
04:37 It's been an awesome series back and forth each game who knows who's gonna have home ice advantage
04:42 But it turns out that if you are the Rangers, all right, let's go back to Madison Square Garden
04:46 We got two in our building one in Florida
04:47 Let's see what happens, but a fantastic series just got even better as we headed now to game number five
04:53 Yeah, it's going to be tight all throughout tied it to all we head back to Madison Square Garden
04:59 And just a few nights as Donnie alluded to for game number five of the Eastern Conference
05:04 Finals now to Major League Baseball a doubleheader yesterday up in Queens at Citi Field after a postponement on Monday
05:12 Due to weather between the Dodgers and the Mets LA entering this midweek set losers of five in a row
05:18 That came to a halt yesterday
05:20 The Mets cannot hold on to a lead in the first game of the doubleheader Freddie Freeman a two-run shot
05:27 In the tenth as the Dodgers tied it in the ninth to send it to extras
05:32 LA wins game one five to two LA wins game two three nothing behind a couple of long balls
05:38 It started early and often with Will Smith
05:40 Yeah, who knows what the future of the Mets is going to be which is such an interesting franchise
05:45 Doesn't take away from the doubleheader win by the Dodgers which they really needed that but the Mets were one of those teams that got
05:50 New ownership and they promised we're just gonna spend more money than everybody and bring a World Series to town
05:54 Now to sort of tear it down and then have this
05:57 22 and 31 baseball team in the Big Apple not a good look, especially when the Yankees are playing no baseball across town a
06:04 triple header of WNBA action last night Caitlin Cork and the Indiana Fever etched their first win of
06:12 The season and her WNBA career over the weekend in LA against the Sparks last night in Indy against the Sparks
06:19 It was a hot shooting night for Los Angeles 14 of 23 from deep and despite a 30-point performance
06:26 From Caitlin Clark that saw three steals three blocks six boards and five dives and three made triples
06:33 30 points her career high the Sparks went outright as an underdog of five and a half points on the road 88 82
06:41 It's one of the few sports that you're gonna take a look at right now and say we don't even care what the record for
06:45 The fever is we just want to watch Caitlin Clark play
06:47 She's getting better on a night-to-night basis dropping 30 points last night
06:51 Eventually those wins will come but I think we're all enjoying just watching her play the game right now
06:55 Six times five boards. I flipped those off. Look she filled up the stat sheet. Aaliyah Boston 17 points as well
07:02 I watched the entirety of the fourth quarter
07:04 I'll just say some questionable coaching decisions and offensive structure for
07:09 Indiana with two all-world and number one overall picks in the last two years
07:14 The Connecticut's on the best team in the WNBA at this moment
07:17 They remain unbeaten a perfect 6-0 for Connecticut after they hammer and I mean hammer the Phoenix Mercury last night at home
07:25 70 to 47 Connecticut easily covers as a seven and a half point home favorite
07:30 Staying easily under the total as well. Hey, man
07:33 The WNBA is gonna be here all summer long to get used to us giving those updates to you
07:37 We'll see if we can get some of that good basketball action
07:40 Connecticut off to a 6-0 start the Seattle Storm went on the road in Chicago is a two and a half point favorite
07:45 Covering as well been a big offseason of optimism for the Houston Texans Nico Collins now inking a contract extension three years
07:53 72.75 million dollars
07:57 Everybody in CJ Stroud's wide receiving core is happy
08:00 Look, everybody's happy at the wide receiver position unless you reside in Cincinnati
08:05 Do you feel like you don't need to pay any of your wide receivers? Even if they don't show up to the first day of
08:10 OTAs trouble brewing in Cincinnati every other wide receiver getting paid nobody in Cincinnati time to fade those bangles
08:16 Jamar chase T Higgins have not been there for OTAs
08:21 French open would it be a seven and seven without a French open recap Novak Djokovic
08:26 Rolls in straight sets in his opening round seeking his 25th grand
08:33 Slam Donnie thoughts. I mean imagine playing a sport on clay. I mean, what is this?
08:38 Pottery making in Paris we go to game for the Western Conference final
