Larry Knows Sports

Jon Blue joins Larry to lament the rise of yet another Boston franchise. Not only do the Celtics look primed to win this year’s championship, but they’ve got a team set up to make a multi year run. Alas. We also go around the NBA a bit, talking about Utah and Quinn Snyder parting ways. We’re talkin’ the top 4 in this year’s draft. And we’re talkin’ a little bit of New York Rangers and the NHL playoffs. All that and more, this week on Larry!

We’ve got a lot of NBA Playoffs to talk, starting with a Dallas Mavericks retrospective. Who better than Jon Blue and Frank Ntilikina suparfan, Frankie Dip. Is Jalen Brunson on the move to join up with his father in New York, or will he resign with the Mavs? Marcus Haugen comes on briefly to talk about the Sacramento Kings possibly trading their number 4 pick, and then Frankie stuffs him back in an instrument bag. Larry tests the guests on their NHL knowledge, and let’s just say that Frankie and Jon don’t know hockey the way Larry knows hockey. Predictions for the NBA Finals! All that and more, this week on Larry!

It’s the night of the NBA Lottery drawing. A night filled with hopes and crushed dreams. On the dais we have Jon Blue representing the Houston Rockets, Jack Rokicki representing the Detroit Pistons, and Larry representing the Knicks. Who do we value as the top picks? Who gets the good draw? We’re watching the drawing live and reacting with all of our passion. Hopefully, noone gets stoned to death. All that and more, this week on Larry!

All that and more, this week on Larry!

Wakatakakage is the defending champ! Our boy finally won the Yusho. Now, can he continue his winning ways and make it to Ozeki? How will Terunofuji bounce back? How about Ura? We’re also talking Charleston Riverdogs. Dan Hanf used to work for the Dogs and scouted Yankee prospects Brett Gardner and Gary Sanchez. All that and more, this week on Larry!

The NBA Playoffs continue on, and Jon Blue and I are already sounding the death knell for the Utah Jazz. Who gets dealt in the fallout? Does it make sense for the Knicks to go after Donovan Mitchell? We think Phoenix has finally righted the ship, at least in the first round. What should the Pelicans do with Zion? How ‘bout those Nets getting swept? Who doesn’t love that (besides FORMER New York Knicks superfan, Spike Lee)? All that and more, this week on Larry!

The Philadlephia 76ers, once considered doomed with an out of shape Harden, are off to a great start in the 2022 NBA Playoffs (Up 2-0 at the time of recording, 3-0 at the time of posting). Standup comedian, Sixers fan, and host of the Bring in the Backups podcast, Erick Hellwig joins in with the optimism. Jon Blue? Not so much. Jon remembers Harden choking over and over for his Houston Rockets. But that’s just one series. We’re also talking Celtics vs Nets. Timberwolves vs Grizzlies. Suns vs Pelicans. We’re talking the rest of the playoff matchups and some of our favorite jerseys. All that and more, this week on Larry!

Alan “Ocho” Goldberg is reporting to us live from the 2022 Men’s Curling World Championships in Las Vegas. That’s right. Curling is not just some strange phenomenon in the olympics. It’s a strange phenomenon with world championship tournaments every single year! Ocho is on the scene, and Larry and curling superfan, Shawn Wickens, are here to soak up all of his knowledge and expertise. What’s the format of this championship? Who are the powerhouse teams? Who’s the GOAT of curling? What type of snacks are available? All that and more, this week on Larry!
