LeBron kills it

LeBron James, with the back against the wall, delivered one of the most dominate playoff performances you will ever see last night.  He had 30 points in the first half, finished with 45, and had 1/3 of the Miami Heat rebounds.  If you're looking for a clutch moment, that was it.  The series will continue with a Game 7 Saturday night in Miami.  Listen to Mike Gill and Todd Ranck break down the performance of LeBron James in Game 6 last night.

 

Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley

With Floyd Mayweather, Jr. currently sitting in a Las Vegas jail cell, Manny Pacquiao fights a different opponent Saturday night.  President of Eastern Division for Caesars Entertainment, Don Marrandino, called in and previewed the fight with us.  He said if Pacquiao loses, you may never see him fight again.  Also, he said look forward for an announcement for an upcoming fight in Atlantic City on September 8th.  He hopes to put together a fight at Bader Field.

 

Mike Gill back in February

Mike and Todd talk about the Phillies struggles and reiterate what is wrong with the team.  Mike and Todd both say that Shane Victorino's contract situation is heavily weighing on him thus far.  Mike Gill goes back to February and recaps three things that he told everyone what was wrong with the Phillies.  The Phillies are now six games back in N.L. East play and begin a 9 game road trip tonight in Baltimore.

1. Lineup is terrible

2. The pitching will break down

3. John Mayberry, Jr. is not an every day player

 

Earl "The Pearl" Monroe

Hall of Fame New York Knicks PG Earl Monroe called into the show and talked a bit about the NBA Playoffs and his program that he's in the area promoting.  He said LeBron James showed everyone last night what he can be and he just needs to continue on this path.  On Oklahoma City, he really likes the way they've grown up this past year and the play of Russell Westbrook is quite impressive because hes not forcing things anymore.  On the 76ers, Monroe says they still need that M.V.P. type player because when you need a bucket, he'll deliver for you.

Monroe is taking part in Diabetes Restaurant Month in Philadelphia, which teams up with Merck to challenge restaurants to make some items on their menu diabetes-friendly.  For more information visit their website.

Jon Paul Morosi

Jon Paul Morosi, FOX Sports, called in and talked about the Phillies struggles.  Morosi said the Phillies have been the class of the National League since 2007, but their run will come to an end.  The pitching is breaking down, the core is getting older and it's not 2008 for Ryan Howard and Chase Utley anymore.  Morosi wonders if Roy Halladay is sincere when he says he wants to retire wearing their uniform.  Halladay came to Philadelphia to win a World Series and if he's not close to one in 2014, he could sign elsewhere when his contract expires.  On Hamels, the two parties are not close on agreeing to a new contract.  The more games the Phillies win, the better chance they'll have retaining him.  For the latest breaking news in MLB, follow Jon Paul Morosi on Twitter.
