JJ opens with the Nets’ loss to the Bucks that gave us the best two words in sports: Game 7. He explains why Brooklyn will need another Game 5 performance from Durant to win the series. Then JJ discusses the Yankees’ sweep of the Blue Jays (8:13), the Mets’ situation with Jacob deGrom (14:01), and the Islanders going down 2-1 to the Lightning (17:55) before reacting to some listener voicemails (24:54). Next, he chats with Mets legend John Franco about Spider Tack, deGrom, and his favorite pizza spot in the city (38:55). Finally, JJ closes it out with some U.S. Open and NBA betting tips with Jared Smith (57:44).

We always want to hear from you! Leave JJ a message on the Listener Line at 917-382-1151.
