Alley Oop 147: DENNIS SCHRÖDER HITS THE GAME-WINNING BUZZER BEATER Knicks vs Celtics, Brunson Drops 47 & Trae Young Exposed

Who’s number fourteen on the Knicks? I guessed Josh Hart, then Anthony Mason, and then admitted I slept in this shirt and decided it looked good enough for the show after hair and makeup.

I was about to throw on a jersey, but could only find this beanie, which lives with my hats in the kitchen while the jerseys chill in the back. Yes, the kitchen’s right off camera, and yes, the sound drops are staying.

You were on Le Batard all week and they’ve got a button for unintentional racism, which I probably deserve sometimes. Anyway, let’s talk Knicks before I set that thing off.

Jalen Brunson dropped forty-seven on Miami while Karl-Anthony Towns had two. Great win, but what’s happening with that balance?

Brunson’s never turning down the rock, and Cat’s got those up-and-down nights, but a win is a win. And I placed a Celtics bet today because they’re locking people up, scoring without stars, and trolling with style while the Cavs feel ready for a teardown.

If it’s Knicks–Celtics again, Boston still remembers getting walked down from big leads. That’s revenge energy, so go ahead and lock that in wherever you can.

Also, Bulls–Hawks finished one fifty-two to one fifty in regulation. No defense, just buckets. Trey had a last shot and hunted the whistle again. We doing this forever?

I kept waiting on a healthy Trey-led run, but if you’re trying to truly win, that late-game foul-bait stuff gets old. Some team will want the name, but contenders will hesitate.

Kings time: Russ hit a corner three to force overtime, then Dennis closed it. I loved seeing Russ talk his talk afterward about being the best rebounding guard. What you got?

Russ is unfairly dragged. He wanted better options, didn’t get them, and landed in a tough spot while that franchise fumbled bigger guard choices and cap space. I still root for him, even if the path’s been rough.

I’m with Russ forever. He plays with heart, stood up when the Westbrick stuff hit his family, and his wife rides for him publicly. That’s real.

Dylan Brooks versus the Warriors stayed spicy. He tagged Steph for no reason and kept the chaos coming. If you treat a legend like that, the whole bench is circling you.

Brooks plays like the villain people think Draymond is. That shot to Steph’s chest was wild. And some star-heavy teams still act like the league owes them space, when role guys with edge often make the machine hum.

Clippers got more bad news with Zubac out. Free James Harden at this point. Send him somewhere like Orlando where he can run the table with dimes while the kids score.

They’ve got seven wins this deep in the season and a worse percentage than Utah. They had a good recipe and swapped in the wrong ingredients, then handed big microphones to guys who haven’t done Chris Paul-level work. You can’t force that hierarchy.

Boy Stop.

Is it wrong to bring certain foods into shared spaces? Hear this and pick a side.

Breakfast is a pound of ground beef with six eggs. I bring it to film. When that lid pops, it’s rough.

He waits until the door shuts in a tiny room, then opens it and we live in meat-and-egg air. Every morning.

What’s the worst thing you’ve eaten around people? I once tried boiled eggs in a movie theater. Immediate regret.

Heating fish at work should be illegal. Bring that mess in, and I’m sending you bad vibes and side-eye all day.

If you insist on stink food, at least bring enough for the room. It’s easier to forgive when you’re chewing too.

Hot sauce can hide a lot. Not everything, but a lot.

Another fun run on the Alley-Oop. Any last words?
