The 'two-for-one' strategy at the end of basketball games can actually hurt teams by forcing rushed, bad shots.
When you, when you put up a bad shot, it also, I, I wanna see what the numbers are, but I would assume that the likelihood of a fast break or getting like, you know, a, a numbers overload off that miss off a bad miss and a long rebound are higher than if you get a normal shot... when you try super, super hard and make sure to get that two for one up, no matter what the cost is, that actually ends up hurting you a little bit.

View episodeThe New York Knicks playing at Madison Square Garden for the NBA Finals will be an absolute movie.
I am hyped for what the New York Knicks in the NBA finals are gonna look like at MSG. I think it's gonna be absolutely nuts. The crowd is gonna be nuts.
Victor Wembanyama choked at the end of Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
So he choked. That was a big time choke at the end. Like he, you gotta look before you throw that pass. It was a ill-advised pass to make. And then out of frustration, he just, he commits a bad foul. I, I think [Wembanyama] is to blame, obviously for everything that happened at the end of this game.
Mitch Johnson should have called a timeout for the Spurs before Victor Wembanyama's late-game turnover.
I thought Mitch Johnson not calling a time out there was crazy. They have one time out left, there's seven seconds left... Call time out, call up your best play. If Brunson on the floor attack Brunson... you get a shot to potentially win without the risk of losing and regulation, which is what ended up happening.

So if he wins the World Cup again, I'm prepared to say he might be the GOAT GOAT. Like the GOAT of GOATs. Right now I think Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali are both tied for the GOAT GOAT... But Messi could get on the Mount Rushmore of GOAT GOATs.
France will beat England in the World Cup third-place game, giving England the all-time record for third-place game losses.
England has, they've got the possibility to set the all time record for most third place game losses. Right now they're tied with Brazil with two. If they lose another one, then that would mean that they have that record on their own. And if you look back through history or at least recent history, three of the last five champions of the World Cup go on to win the third place game the next year. So that would mean that France would win this third place game and England would etch their names into history.
