  Speaker 1: Here's my question for you, Yes, sir, have you swallowed
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: your good I guess oh and four against the Celtics
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: this year, ten against the top three teams in the NBA.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: How did the Knicks change that in this series?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Well, the pressure is not on them, like Porzingi said,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and they just have to come play the game. Brunson
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: has been playing spectacling. You know, we want all our
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: stars to play like that. The way he ended that
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: last round of that shot, that's how we want our
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: superstars to play. The key is going to be Cat
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and the others. The CAAT can give me high twenties
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I double figures, they have a shot. Porzingis recognizes that
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: this team is dangerous, but they have to play to
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: that ability. If I'm the Knicks, I'm going in, I'm
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: playing loose, I'm playing free with the underdog. Nobody sticks
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: has to win, just play a game. But this guy
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: has to play great. Cat has to play great, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the others have to continue to play the confidence and
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: give theirself a chance. Now that seems you're said and done.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: We can playing the champs, But yeah, they can do
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. They definitely have a shot. If you
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: get all yeah.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: If you're playing the champs and the Champs have drew
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: holiday back now after missing three games too, well, when
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you when you play the Bruns will be looking at him.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Well, when you play the Bosson Celtics, you don't play
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: against Brown and Tatum. You play you play against six
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: seven guys. So for if the Knicks, the question was
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: how If the Knicks want to be successful, Og has
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: to play well, Hart has to play well. McBride has
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: to play well. Uh, Mitchell Robinson has to be a
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: great defender. Like, that's how you beat the Boston Celtics
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: because they have seven guys that can get twenty points.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: You go down that list, seven that don't struggle to
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: get twenty. So how can you beat them? You have
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: to have depth and you one man does not. I
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: don't care if Brunton has thirty that does not beat
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the Bosson Celtics.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: If they haven't beaten him, and we're trying to come
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: up with a reason how they can beat them, that's
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: the reason they haven't beat them.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: They're not good enough.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: The Celtics gonna win the series, probably a gentleman sweep,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: but the Knicks are not good enough to beat the Celtics.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I mean there's a reason they beat them every time.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're trying to make it seem like it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: gonna be a good series. Wow, you don't think it'll
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: be a good series. Well, they're beating them every time.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I don't think if somebody beat you every time, they're
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: better than you. Well that's regular season.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because then there are times you said, doesn't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: matter what happened in the regular season.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: That the Knicks just struggle with the Pistons. This team
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: is twice as good as the Pistons. I mean, man, listen, man,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: the Celtics are gonna beat the Knicks in probably five games.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: If that's bet it. No, I mean, the Knicks just Knicks.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: The Knicks got a good team, don't get me wrong.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: They got a good team. So Celtics are just better.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: So bruns and averaging thirty and called average eight that's
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: sixty points.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Food.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: They're gonna get it done against the Celtics.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, but the other guys, but hold on, Celtics. Ball on.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Celtics gotta shoot that three ball well too.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I don't even think they have to shoot at great
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: use to see him many.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I want to see how many they shoot in this
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: series because forty eight they took in the regular season
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: forty eight, a game that was down to thirty one
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: against Orlando when they were running them off the line.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Well, no, they want to hunt them up the line
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: ladder was slowing the game down on the offensive end
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: It was a combination of both.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, they will shoot forty threes against the Knicks. The
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Knicks won't be as apprehensive to push the ball or
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: push the pace because Brunton, when he's in transition, he
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: feels he has the advantage, so he will try to
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: take it. The game will be a lot faster. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: disagree with Chuck. I do think this is going to
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: be a tight series. I think Carl Anthony Towns does
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: have an advantage and this is why they bought him
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: there to give to give this team or to be advantage,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: and they play to his advantage because when he Putzinga
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: saw him, he doesn't. He will be able to shoot
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the three and he will be able to post up low,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: so he will have an advantage. I feel this series
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: much more than he had against these guys.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Well, and we just disagree because I think Porzingle size,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: he won't have that advantage against Poizinger's that side.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Looking he got little Tobias Harris guard him.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Down there when he shoots the three, Yes, well, but.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: He can guard the three and Hellen.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: But also I think Bronson is gonna have an interesting
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: series two because you got, in my opinion, probably the
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: two best defensive guards in the NBA who play for
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: the Celtics, between Drew Holliday and Derick White. I think
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: they can put two bodies on Bronce is a great player.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: He's gonna get X amount of points, but I think
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: they're gonna make it hard on him, really hard on him,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: because the problem is he going have to play defense
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: because the Celtics probably have the best floor spacing in
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the NBA. People don't even understand how important spacing is.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I know Shaq and Kenny understands that the difference between
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: three or four feet means a lot to a great
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: offensive player because you get a white of them shot,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: or you get a contested shot, and they gonna make
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I think they're gonna go at Bronson's at some times.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Also, But and your guy Porzingis, I know you talk
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: about him and how important he is in the Boston scheme.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But he's been a kind of on that roller coaster.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: In that first round against Storyline. Well, one of the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: reasons I said, I said, digits three games.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I said last year once they got Pazingas, the championship
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: was a rap.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I said that last year.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: If he doesn't pick up his game, the somethings are
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: not going to win the championship this year.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: I said it before.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: The Sales said, man, we just wasted time once because
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: when Pazingis plays well, this takes this team to a
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: whole another level. But he has not been consistent. Earn it,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: just like you said. But if you don't pick it up,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: they're not gonna win the East.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: And the reason he's been inconsistent must of those games
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I've watched he stayed out on the perimeter. When he
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: mixes it up, he plays okay. But if he learns
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: how to mix up a little more, he will have
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: better numbers and better games. But if you just stay
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: out there on the perimeter and you're not making them,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be the out come.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Single Ditchites Celtics are trying to get to the Eastern
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Conference Finals for the fourth straight year. For the Knicks,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it's been a while. The year was two thousand. You
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: know who was on that team, John Starks, Ritt Brunson,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Rick Yeah, Jalen Brunson's dad was on the team the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: last time the Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: They will try to get there, but it's going to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: take an effort against the Boston Selony, the reigning chance.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I love Chuck, but he picked the Clippers.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Ben Benn Stiller, Ben, Yeah, we know you love it.
