00:00morning rad race on 95.9 the rat the thousand dollar money shot code word hits the air just
00:05before eight o'clock right now it's time for east side dave's quick sports dave what's happening
00:10man okay let's start with basketball where the knicks lost to the miami heat in game one of the
00:17eastern conference semifinals yesterday 108 to 101 uh tough break there uh for the beginning of
00:24the series the knicks were without julius randall who is dealing with an ankle injury but still
00:29they were outplayed uh vastly in the second half by miami specifically jimmy butler of the heat had
00:3625 points and 11 rebounds in the game he also suffered an ankle injury but he stayed in the
00:41game the heat now go up one game to none on the next game two is tuesday in madison square garden
00:47and uh i you know i'm thinking this is going to be another long series so no panic but gotta win
00:55game two yeah no you gotta bring the jews to win game two gotta win game two the knicks have played
01:00well in miami in years past so i would hope that then they could split in miami and take a critical
01:07game five back in new york but see what you're saying right now i'm a little nervous as a knicks
01:11fan i had the nixon six prediction um another huge basketball story from yesterday was that the
01:17defending champions golden state warriors stayed alive by beating the kings in a game seven
01:23120 to 100 and steph curry of the warriors scored 50 points in the win the most points ever in a game
01:32seven in nba playoff history damn that guy huh still a legend i mean he's on his back no drop off
01:40with steph curry he's as brilliant of a basketball player as he was 10 years ago it's pretty insane
01:46hockey devils rangers tonight game seven what a drag on saturday couldn't wrap it up oh it's awful but
01:56i do love the phrase game seven and that's what we got in this area this evening when the devils and
02:03rangers face off at the prudential center only thing i'm worried about is that i feel like the devils
02:09that are that the rangers have the edge when it comes to goalie and of course you know goalie man
02:14it's huge you get a hot goalie your goalie gets hot forget about it gotta get that uh home ice
02:20advantage listen they they uh they got a big time game five in their building and that was a pivotal
02:27game when the series was all tied up so hopefully they can repeat that if you're a devils fan if you're
02:33a rangers fan you can look to the beginning of the series where you beat the devils easily in the
02:37first two games so this really is a toss-up i i don't know what's gonna happen i don't think
02:41there's any momentum coming from anyone i feel like every game is gonna be nervous yeah and we don't
02:47even know who's gonna be in goal for the devil yeah and with no uh uh nicks on tonight and with me
02:53being a little disgusted with the yankees i'm gonna be watching the heck out of this seven let's go
02:59now the other big hockey story is that the boston bruins lost game seven to the florida panthers
03:05yesterday in overtime crazy four to three and the bruins are shockingly eliminated us in a season
03:11in which they got 65 wins the most in the nhl this year what a season they had and then to be
03:18out in the first round that's nuts i mean that's sports for you uh baseball uh speaking of the
03:23yankees that i was just talking about they had just an awful weekend they lost three in a row
03:29culminating yesterday and uh yesterday's loss to the texas rangers 15 to 2 wow yanks are uh
03:36three and seven in their last 10 games offensively they just don't have it while we all know that
03:44signing iron judge was the right thing to do we were also all saying he needs help something else
03:50no point of having aaron judge wasting his prime and uh i don't know why aaron hicks is on this
03:58baseball team any longer he is an old 34 years old or 35 yeah no he is making a lot of money
04:05so i get the uh the the logic behind the yankees oh my god he's making 21 million dollars we have to
04:11play him but you don't have to play him you just have to eat the contract and say sorry well certainly
04:18if there's a team rich enough to eat in the contract it would be them yeah phillies fell to
04:22the astros 4-3 and the phills dropped to 50 and 14 mets game versus the braves was rained out they
04:28have a double header scheduled for today first game is at one o'clock second game is at four
04:32and then finally football jets head coach robert sala spoke to the press on saturday he must be excited and
04:40he was gushing about new acquisition aaron rogers he said we got better this week
04:48close quote wait wait when he delivered the understatement of the air gee you think you know
04:53do you know jack wilson to rogers bro see that that's how you know that guy doesn't work in radio
05:00because you got to make things larger than life stupid you have to make me you know promote things
05:05make things sound exciting give something to the fans to the audience you're not we got aaron rogers
05:11and we're going to be a better team this week i think even me i looked at uh season tickets or
05:16some sort of partial plan why not like let's go out and win the super bowl this year if i was the
05:23head coach i'd be saying look guys we're gonna the team will try to match your excitement we want to go
05:30to the super bowl that's all we want now that we got aaron rogers we think we can get there hey man
05:36it's the morning rat race from 95.9 the rat that's
