Cavs' "Jealousy" of the Knicks as Jalen Brunson Reaches NBA Finals

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Nick close out the show with a lighter conversation about the NBA Finals, and both land in the same place: zero rooting interest, but a nagging jealousy that the Knicks are there instead of Cleveland. Nick makes the sharpest observation of the segment, pointing out that when the Cavs landed Donovan Mitchell everyone laughed at New York for settling for Jalen Brunson, and now Brunson is in the Finals while Mitchell is probably in Cancun. Ken saves his real anger for Kenny Atkinson rather than the Knicks, arguing the Cavs were not stopped by New York so much as they handed the series away themselves, and losing the next three games after blowing a 22 point lead is an indictment that has nothing to do with the opponent. The show wraps with the Myles Garrett situation still unresolved, with Ken and Nick signing off knowing that by 4 o'clock today, everything might look completely different.
