Headline Sports podcast Charlie O:
#1 The New York Knicks have expressed interest in obtaining the services of Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd. The Knicks have not requested to speak with Kidd who has two years left on his current contract extension that he signed with the Mavericks in 2024.
#2 Former New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau took the Knicks to the Eastern Conference finals. It was the deepest that a head coach had taken the Knicks in 25 years. The Knicks looked like a contender and then after losing to the Indiana Pacers Thibodeau was fired in what the Knicks called a “difficult decision.”
#3 In game 1 of the NBA Finals the Indiana Pacers Tyrese Haliburton’s buzzer beater shocked the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-110. The Pacers take a 1-0 lead going into game 2. A win by the Pacers would give them a leg up 2-0 going back to Indiana. A loss by the Pacers would tie the series with the Pacers having home court advantage for game 3.
#4 Charlie switching to baseball, do you look at the Los Angeles Dodgers slump like a this is a time to panic situation. The Dodgers have scored only once on a wild pitch after going 18 innings and 19 hits over the weekend against the St Louis Cardinals.
#5 What do you make of the blinking lights for game winning home runs and for closers coming into the games. It’s now part of the baseball culture that closers are getting a lot of the hype on social media with the lights and coming into games.
