Latest / Kenny For Real / The Knicks Just Pulled Off The Biggest Comeback EVER
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the game we love, y'all, this is the
- 0:03Speaker 1: league we love. Down by twenty we just watched the
- 0:07Speaker 1: greatest NBA Finals comeback ever ever, It's never been done before.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Down by twenty nine points, they went into halftime and
- 0:16Speaker 1: they had a lower third that said, this is the
- 0:18Speaker 1: largest lead on a role team has had going into
- 0:21Speaker 1: halftime an AMA Finals game. It got so bad. I'm
- 0:25Speaker 1: making jokes in the group. Y're like, man, I'm gonna
- 0:28Speaker 1: have to turn this game off. I've been having too
- 0:29Speaker 1: much fun playing dispatch. Can I put the game on
- 0:32Speaker 1: the second monitor so I can play Dispatch't? I didn't
- 0:34Speaker 1: do it that ob've seen. My job is to watch
- 0:35Speaker 1: his games, even through bowops. But we's making jokes about, okay,
- 0:38Speaker 1: you're washing hands two to two series, now it's the
- 0:41Speaker 1: best of three, and then the second half hit and
- 0:44Speaker 1: the next do it again, like they had the twenty
- 0:47Speaker 1: two point win, twenty two point comeback win versus versus
- 0:52Speaker 1: the Cavs or seven minutes and fifty two seconds left
- 0:55Speaker 1: down by twenty two. They make it happen, and that
- 0:57Speaker 1: felt like a once in a lifetime type of thing.
- 1:00Speaker 1: But this Knixt team continued to show that they hear
- 1:02Speaker 1: the team of destiny first half Spurs cannot miss a shot.
- 1:06Speaker 1: I thought that legitimately the Knicks defensive rotations looked like Lester.
- 1:09Speaker 1: They looked like a team from January, not a team
- 1:11Speaker 1: that had just won thirteen straight playoff games. Right. Sometimes
- 1:14Speaker 1: they were getting beat to the ball that led to
- 1:16Speaker 1: second chance opportunities, and it just they didn't look very prepared.
- 1:19Speaker 1: And the Spurs continue to show us after every every
- 1:22Speaker 1: series that they are one of the greatest first quarter teams.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Like ever. Think about the Okac series. How many times
- 1:27Speaker 1: they were up fifteen zero, fifteen to two, seventeen to
- 1:31Speaker 1: six and they had another game. And assume when the
- 1:33Speaker 1: first quarter they're up by double digit points, they could
- 1:36Speaker 1: not miss a shot to open up. And again, like
- 1:39Speaker 1: I said, I think a lot of it were was
- 1:41Speaker 1: the Knicks not being as cohesive defensively in their first half,
- 1:45Speaker 1: but also some of the shots the Knicks gave up
- 1:47Speaker 1: were the exact shots they wanted to. When Carter Bryan
- 1:50Speaker 1: is hitting the corner three point, all you could do
- 1:52Speaker 1: is this, you know, you just say, hey, tip tippy
- 1:54Speaker 1: cap because the young fellow made a three. When Dylan
- 1:57Speaker 1: Harper takes a pull up three late in the shot
- 2:00Speaker 1: clock and makes it. I could do is this because
- 2:02Speaker 1: we got them laking the shot clock, And even though
- 2:04Speaker 1: Dylan Harper was a better shooter and the second half
- 2:06Speaker 1: of his rookie season not necessarily known as a great
- 2:08Speaker 1: three point shooter, he's making three. So it's like you're
- 2:10Speaker 1: do one of these. But going into halftime with the
- 2:12Speaker 1: largest lead for a role team in the NBA Finals,
- 2:15Speaker 1: and then I think Worldwhite wob had the tweet that
- 2:19Speaker 1: the NBA or ESPN also put in their lower third
- 2:22Speaker 1: excluding the bubble, which I don't I don't know why
- 2:25Speaker 1: they would do that. Why Why are we not counting
- 2:28Speaker 1: the bubble? I don't know. That's not me. That was ESPN.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I count the bubble, ring I counted demmit. Second half
- 2:34Speaker 1: comes around, and you know what, one thing the Spurs
- 2:37Speaker 1: have done pretty good at and at least in their
- 2:39Speaker 1: last game, what they won was allowing Jaylen Brunton to
- 2:42Speaker 1: take his shots to do his thing. I thought that
- 2:44Speaker 1: in game number three that the that the Spurs won.
- 2:47Speaker 1: One of the reasons they won that is because they
- 2:50Speaker 1: did do a really good job of limiting some of
- 2:52Speaker 1: the others. Mikeel Bridges gets a foul trow VERI eleone.
- 2:55Speaker 1: He never gets his footing. Car Anthony Towns never gets
- 2:57Speaker 1: his footing. And it's like Jaylen Brunton at one point
- 2:59Speaker 1: in this series had eighty one points on eighty two shots. Right,
- 3:02Speaker 1: he's going mino we mono versus some really good guard defenders.
- 3:05Speaker 1: And the Spurs were completely okay with letting that be
- 3:08Speaker 1: the case. And then third quarter came around and Jalen
- 3:11Speaker 1: Brunt to get to you, to put his head down,
- 3:12Speaker 1: recognizing the time, recognizing the lead, and saying this game
- 3:16Speaker 1: is not over. And again, I always say this about
- 3:19Speaker 1: a guy like Jay le Bronce, about a guy like
- 3:21Speaker 1: like Anthony Epperds. I like a captain that's gonna go
- 3:24Speaker 1: down with the ship, dammit. I like the Jay leb
- 3:26Speaker 1: Bronton even in this inefficiency, inefficient games, he's gonna take
- 3:29Speaker 1: twenty five shots. Even again if game number three, some
- 3:32Speaker 1: of the iOS one of the reason they end up losing.
- 3:34Speaker 1: But I like the fact that he's like, Okay, McHale
- 3:36Speaker 1: has gone mia in the last couple of games. Carthony
- 3:39Speaker 1: Towns picks up two thousand and literally the first minute
- 3:42Speaker 1: of the game. I'm mind blowing watching this by the way,
- 3:45Speaker 1: and he's like, Okay, it has to be me. It
- 3:47Speaker 1: has to be me in my right hand, PoTA o
- 3:49Speaker 1: yat to know what we were gonna get to, and
- 3:51Speaker 1: jay leb Bronce gets here to do his thing, gets
- 3:53Speaker 1: here to do his thing. One of the reasons in
- 3:55Speaker 1: my mind that the Knicks had looked so good in
- 3:57Speaker 1: those first couple games actually, let me pull on my
- 3:59Speaker 1: docks because I did the radio show and I had
- 4:01Speaker 1: my five big pillars. This is at the point where
- 4:03Speaker 1: the Knicks were up to Oh, my five big pillars
- 4:05Speaker 1: are why the Knicks were where they are. The first
- 4:08Speaker 1: one was the defense was as good as advertised cool.
- 4:10Speaker 1: The second was the bench. Right the first two games
- 4:13Speaker 1: where they be Landry Shammitt, Deuce mc bride, Hose Alvarado,
- 4:17Speaker 1: the bench had come to play enough, especially in comparison
- 4:21Speaker 1: to the Spurs. And I thought through the first two
- 4:23Speaker 1: quarters of this when the Spurs bench advantage had gone
- 4:25Speaker 1: the other way, like the Spurs had looked like the
- 4:27Speaker 1: better bench because my goodness, some of the stuff Dylan
- 4:29Speaker 1: Harper was doing and they're like, Duce mc bride feel
- 4:31Speaker 1: like he ain't made a shot since the first game,
- 4:33Speaker 1: Linza Shammitt feel like he ain't made a shot since
- 4:34Speaker 1: the second game. Hose Everado gave some big, big minutes
- 4:37Speaker 1: in this one. But I did feel like early in
- 4:40Speaker 1: this the Spurs bench had turned the tide where it's like, okay,
- 4:43Speaker 1: we looked like the better bench. I thought their offensive
- 4:46Speaker 1: processing through the first two games looked great, and then
- 4:48Speaker 1: in this one, in the beginning of game number three,
- 4:50Speaker 1: the turnovers start to pole up. They start to pole up,
- 4:53Speaker 1: and this one they end up with thirteen turnovers. A
- 4:55Speaker 1: lot of those end up happening in their first half,
- 4:58Speaker 1: and then experience and fatigue. That's what we get to
- 5:01Speaker 1: this twenty nine point point comeback where the inexperience showed
- 5:05Speaker 1: itself again again. The next team was a team that
- 5:08Speaker 1: came back from down twenty two with seven minutes and
- 5:10Speaker 1: fifty two seconds left. They've been here before, maybe not
- 5:13Speaker 1: almost thirty, but they've been here before, and they've been
- 5:15Speaker 1: able to put their head down and just knit, like
- 5:17Speaker 1: get away at the league, get away at the league,
- 5:19Speaker 1: get it away at the lead un two a single digits, like,
- 5:20Speaker 1: oh my god, we got ourselves a game. Oh my gosh,
- 5:22Speaker 1: a seven point game. Oh my god, it's a five
- 5:24Speaker 1: point game. It's about to be our lead. And then
- 5:26Speaker 1: Josh Hart missus a layup, by the way, and then
- 5:28Speaker 1: they come back and do the thing. This mixed team
- 5:30Speaker 1: looked like an experience team, while the other side of things,
- 5:33Speaker 1: the Spurs look Hella inexperience, and I thought miss Johnson
- 5:35Speaker 1: look inexperience too. While I'm looking at the ticker like
- 5:38Speaker 1: he got timeous or no, he got two of them. Oh,
- 5:40Speaker 1: I'm I'm very surprised. The one moment that's that's gonna
- 5:44Speaker 1: really be the talking point is the Daron Fox thing
- 5:47Speaker 1: they forced to turn over Dean Fox nickname Swipeer, you know,
- 5:51Speaker 1: known as one of the fastest players in the league.
- 5:53Speaker 1: And I truly don't believe that he's playing get one
- 5:55Speaker 1: hundred percent because even on that breakaway, no way was
- 5:58Speaker 1: it Josh Hart think it might have been Josh Harsh
- 6:00Speaker 1: have been able to catch him right. That boy is
- 6:01Speaker 1: the year of Fox. But instead of doing what I
- 6:04Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like the more veteran point guard
- 6:07Speaker 1: would do, which is nas dribbled the ball out and
- 6:10Speaker 1: take time off the clockers remind us eleven seconds left,
- 6:13Speaker 1: he decided I'm sorry, ojion Noby chasing them down, he
- 6:15Speaker 1: decides that it's a good idea to try to take
- 6:17Speaker 1: the two, and I just don't see a circumstance with
- 6:21Speaker 1: that is the right decision. Even with them, even with
- 6:24Speaker 1: the make, you're still giving the ball back to the
- 6:26Speaker 1: Knicks with ten seconds ago in the one possession game.
- 6:28Speaker 1: If you nas dribble and count out three more seconds
- 6:31Speaker 1: of the clock, that just lowers the chances that the
- 6:33Speaker 1: Knicks are gonna have to get a good look. But
- 6:36Speaker 1: instead he goes up for the lay and o gianobe
- 6:38Speaker 1: is then toll put it on the glass, my goodness,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and then when you know the rest, the rest is
- 6:47Speaker 1: God damn ojiana Nobi. The shot making that Ogianaobi has
- 6:52Speaker 1: been able to showcase the entire of this playoff run
- 6:56Speaker 1: is like one that's unimaginable. In the way and the
- 7:00Speaker 1: group chat Og hit the one left corner three. This
- 7:02Speaker 1: is before the Knicks hit the lead. He didn't want
- 7:04Speaker 1: left corner three, and Pierre in the group chest said
- 7:07Speaker 1: man Og might end up be a top five small
- 7:09Speaker 1: four when we do our rankings this year, and I'm like,
- 7:12Speaker 1: I don't know if that seems crazy. The man doesn't miss.
- 7:16Speaker 1: He's an all defensive level player. And then he crashed
- 7:18Speaker 1: the glass for the greatest tip in in the history
- 7:21Speaker 1: of this sport. Maybe, like, how can you argue against
- 7:24Speaker 1: it as steady ass can be? The first two games,
- 7:28Speaker 1: that Steadiness was Carthony Towns on the second on both
- 7:32Speaker 1: sides of for offensively and defensively, his his guarding of
- 7:34Speaker 1: Victor wimb Yama. But even when Karthny Towns and that Steadiness,
- 7:38Speaker 1: og was still doing his thing. And now I just
- 7:40Speaker 1: feel like he is the pillar of steady. If you
- 7:44Speaker 1: need a grenade to be thrown up at the rim,
- 7:47Speaker 1: demon fine o Gananobi. If you looking for somebody that's
- 7:50Speaker 1: not afraid to get to the basket of Winby's down there, demmit,
- 7:53Speaker 1: give it to Ogionanobi. If you need somebody to guard
- 7:56Speaker 1: up down the stretch, damn it, give this side and
- 7:58Speaker 1: to O Giananoby. I know Dar Fox hit the big
- 8:00Speaker 1: shot against him a game number three, but in this
- 8:02Speaker 1: one I thought he did a damn good job. Every
- 8:04Speaker 1: time Daron Fox got the isolation, even late in this game,
- 8:07Speaker 1: he get the isolation one four flat. This is when
- 8:10Speaker 1: Stefan Cassel crashes the glass and ends up getting foul
- 8:12Speaker 1: and everything. But it's old John and Nobi as a
- 8:14Speaker 1: defensive guy right there. I'm so impressed with what we
- 8:19Speaker 1: just watched from this next team, Like, like truly speaking,
- 8:23Speaker 1: this is Brunson and Og. You know, everybody just plays
- 8:26Speaker 1: their roles for as defensively, being cohesive and to prevent
- 8:29Speaker 1: the Spurs from having a run to prevent but like
- 8:33Speaker 1: the offenses really just those two guys, Michael Bridges a game.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Like I said, look when Mia and lost his closed
- 8:38Speaker 1: the minist to Jose Alvarado, Mike Brown had the patch
- 8:43Speaker 1: together so many things. Because Cardon Town is picking up
- 8:46Speaker 1: those first two fouls, I hit the group test saying,
- 8:48Speaker 1: oh my god, this game is over in the first
- 8:50Speaker 1: minute of the game, y'all because no, Cardoni Town's in
- 8:53Speaker 1: my mind in way less chance of winning. You gotta
- 8:56Speaker 1: check in Mitchell Robbinson. We know, big, big body Mitch
- 8:58Speaker 1: only can play twenty one at the most, and he
- 9:01Speaker 1: had only been averaging eleven minutes in the series so far.
- 9:04Speaker 1: So carnthing Towns goes to the bench. I know that
- 9:06Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson can't play ten straight minutes in the first quarter,
- 9:09Speaker 1: so what's gonna happen. Next, Are we gonna see her party? Yeah?
- 9:12Speaker 1: And then the worst thing happened. We saw Jeremy Soher.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my goodness. Yeah, shot on Mike Brown
- 9:16Speaker 1: because he got a fiddle with some rotations. But this
- 9:18Speaker 1: stun't look good. Carnthony Town's fourth quarter first three games
- 9:23Speaker 1: in the series, literally zero points in the fourth zero
- 9:26Speaker 1: points to three, three games in the fourth quarter, and
- 9:29Speaker 1: then he has the big step back three which in
- 9:31Speaker 1: my mind didn't even look like a three. Into the replay,
- 9:33Speaker 1: I thought his toe was on the lackage, you know
- 9:34Speaker 1: whereas twenty six, but step back three over. I want
- 9:37Speaker 1: to say, Keldon Johnson may have been a fouled, may
- 9:39Speaker 1: have not been a fouled. Cool, he get to step
- 9:41Speaker 1: through on Victor Women. Yeah, but may have been a fouled,
- 9:43Speaker 1: might not have been a foul Cool. Just the whole
- 9:46Speaker 1: team continuing to be poised. And at one point in
- 9:50Speaker 1: this game in the first half, you can hear a
- 9:51Speaker 1: goddamn hand drop in Master Square Garden. They trying their
- 9:54Speaker 1: best on the broadcast to make it seem interesting by
- 9:57Speaker 1: showing goddamn Taylor Swift one undred times in the game,
- 9:59Speaker 1: trying to take the swift like guess she might be
- 10:01Speaker 1: a good luckturoy off of the new or Knicks. But
- 10:03Speaker 1: you can hear a pen drum but again, slowly but surely,
- 10:08Speaker 1: chip away, chip away, chip away, and you're waiting for
- 10:11Speaker 1: the Spurs to have an answer. I thought the few
- 10:13Speaker 1: times that the Knicks did go on the run in
- 10:15Speaker 1: the first half, Devin Vsel was there to hit a
- 10:17Speaker 1: trail three or wide open three with O'dylan Harper was
- 10:20Speaker 1: there to get to the basket. A six to zero
- 10:22Speaker 1: run for the Knicks where it seemed like momentum might
- 10:24Speaker 1: be shifting, they shut it down and they never had
- 10:26Speaker 1: that moment. We get late in this game, we saw
- 10:30Speaker 1: some really good shot making from the Spurs. At one point, right,
- 10:33Speaker 1: it's like an eight point game in their favor. The
- 10:35Speaker 1: Knicks come down and hit a three. Now it's a
- 10:37Speaker 1: five point game. Boom. Here's a mid range pull up
- 10:39Speaker 1: from Victor Wembinyama Cash. Here is one of the few
- 10:42Speaker 1: deer or five to made baskets cash. But then you
- 10:45Speaker 1: look at it and say, man, that's Victor Winbiyam's first
- 10:47Speaker 1: main shot at of like eleven looks now some of
- 10:50Speaker 1: them is like his own tip ups and the box
- 10:52Speaker 1: score do count those as attempt So maybe it wasn't
- 10:54Speaker 1: like eleven straight possessions with a miss. But my goodness,
- 10:57Speaker 1: they did a phenomenal job of pushing Victoryama away from
- 11:00Speaker 1: the basket. I thought in Game three he did him
- 11:03Speaker 1: and the staff and the players an amazing job of
- 11:05Speaker 1: giving him opportunities close to the bass. Open the game
- 11:08Speaker 1: wasn't really the case today. It was a lot of conversation.
- 11:12Speaker 1: You know, I'm opening up Twitter doing timeouts. I can't
- 11:14Speaker 1: help it. I'm not supposed to be doing it, but
- 11:15Speaker 1: damn it, I do it. And through the first quarter
- 11:18Speaker 1: most of the conversation was about the officiator. So I
- 11:21Speaker 1: guess I'll get to that tip. None of them matters,
- 11:22Speaker 1: and Nicks and them winning, but I'll get to that
- 11:23Speaker 1: tip too. I do think that the physicality of this
- 11:28Speaker 1: series I have no problem with, right when it comes
- 11:30Speaker 1: to the whistle. What I have problem with is the
- 11:32Speaker 1: miss the miss call. So whether it be Nick's favors
- 11:35Speaker 1: first fase, I don't care. But like host Evado going
- 11:38Speaker 1: up for that that floater and lou Cortnett blocks it
- 11:42Speaker 1: and as a for sure goals in and they say
- 11:43Speaker 1: ah nah, no, nope, Victor Wiminiama. These are back to
- 11:46Speaker 1: back plays by the way, Victor Wimbinyama getting his own
- 11:48Speaker 1: put back, but the ball is literally still in the
- 11:50Speaker 1: rim as he tips it in, as if we're playing
- 11:52Speaker 1: fever basketball. Those are the things I feel like are
- 11:54Speaker 1: inexcusable from a coaching staff, miss miss fouls or things
- 11:58Speaker 1: like that. I can't I can't right, I can't call it.
- 12:01Speaker 1: I like a physicality, of the physicality that a team
- 12:04Speaker 1: can play with and get away with. So it's the
- 12:06Speaker 1: other things, But ultimately none of it really matters. This
- 12:11Speaker 1: game went for for sure, going back to San Antonio
- 12:14Speaker 1: with the series tied to the Spurs, just having the
- 12:18Speaker 1: soul sucked out of the entire city, the entire fan base,
- 12:23Speaker 1: in the entire locker room. Twenty nine point comeback. It's
- 12:30Speaker 1: something we may never see again. We may never ever
- 12:35Speaker 1: see it again the Knicks again. Third quarter, fourth quarter.
- 12:40Speaker 1: I thought that did such a great job of continuing
- 12:42Speaker 1: to put Victor wim beyond and in his actions, because though
- 12:45Speaker 1: he is the boogeyman defensively, I still love when teams
- 12:48Speaker 1: make him work. I feel like he is at his
- 12:51Speaker 1: best when he is able to just drop back and
- 12:54Speaker 1: protect the basket. And there are times where kar Anthony
- 12:58Speaker 1: Towns has victim was guarding Karnthnky Towns. He's top of
- 13:01Speaker 1: the key, he gets Victor Webyama up on a pump
- 13:04Speaker 1: fake and then one pass away is Jaylen Bronson and
- 13:06Speaker 1: Carney town swings it to Jaylen Bronson and now that
- 13:08Speaker 1: he knows that there is no recovery from Victor Webbiyama,
- 13:11Speaker 1: that's an open lane from from Jaylen Bronton. And I
- 13:13Speaker 1: love when they were able to play off of each
- 13:15Speaker 1: other in that in that way, I don't I think
- 13:19Speaker 1: part is because maybe it's the fine castles in the
- 13:21Speaker 1: top ton of foul trouble, and I guess Karthanie Towns
- 13:24Speaker 1: as well. One thing that really worked for the Spurs
- 13:27Speaker 1: was having Castle guard Karnthingan Towns, and I feel like
- 13:29Speaker 1: we didn't see a ton of it. And again and
- 13:30Speaker 1: maybe just because both of those guys were in foul trouble.
- 13:32Speaker 1: But nonetheless, man, the Knicks are one game away, one
- 13:36Speaker 1: went away from being NBA champions. Man, Wow, I got
- 13:42Speaker 1: no dog in this fight. And I've said it many times,
- 13:45Speaker 1: there's there's for a neutral fan like myself. There's lovable
- 13:49Speaker 1: guys on both sides of this of this series, truly, truly, truly.
- 13:55Speaker 1: But the Knicks, man, I think in my they just
- 13:58Speaker 1: got a couple more so, I'm watching his comeback. I'm
- 14:01Speaker 1: in I'm literally I'm in awe. I'm in awe. I'm
- 14:05Speaker 1: watching the game by myself, and I'm like, I'm like
- 14:08Speaker 1: talking to I'm like talking to myself. Jayleb Brunton hit
- 14:11Speaker 1: step one float, I say, no way they about to
- 14:13Speaker 1: do that. I'm living. This is me talking to myself
- 14:15Speaker 1: and the house full of me and two dogs. That's it.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Everybody else is gone and old Giannaoby. I feel like
- 14:20Speaker 1: I haven't given Odiana Nobe enough of props in this game.
- 14:22Speaker 1: So let me take a step back, Old Gianna Nobi
- 14:26Speaker 1: getting his fingertips on that ball man and all it
- 14:29Speaker 1: takes is the fingertips I mentioned on the radio. Hey,
- 14:35Speaker 1: you should tune into my radio show Serious XM. Monday
- 14:38Speaker 1: is at twelve o'clock Eastern. If you it's just fall Talk.
- 14:41Speaker 1: It's just Fall Talk. I get. I get guests too.
- 14:43Speaker 1: I know I do this by myself, but like I'm begetting.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I just said, like Quentin Richardson other great guests. Georgiana anyway,
- 14:51Speaker 1: I said on the radio, this was after they were
- 14:53Speaker 1: up too oh right, that the Knicks. The Knicks are
- 14:57Speaker 1: on the path right now to be mortalized in the NBA.
- 15:02Speaker 1: That's where they're going. That's the direction they're going down
- 15:05Speaker 1: right now. Twenty two point come back, twenty nine point
- 15:09Speaker 1: comeback in an NBA Finals, first potential championship in fifty years,
- 15:15Speaker 1: the biggest market of the sport, where no matter where
- 15:19Speaker 1: you look, whether it be the one hundred section or
- 15:20Speaker 1: three hundred section, you don't see somebody that's Hella famous.
- 15:24Speaker 1: And when I say I'm mortalized, you know, you load
- 15:26Speaker 1: up two K. I don't play two K much nowadays,
- 15:28Speaker 1: but you load up two K and you'll go to
- 15:30Speaker 1: the back and it'll have like the two thousand and
- 15:32Speaker 1: one Lakers, you can see the entirety of the roster,
- 15:33Speaker 1: or as much as two K can get because they
- 15:35Speaker 1: don't like licensing some of their retired players. The two
- 15:37Speaker 1: thousand and one Lakers, the ninety six Pools, the eighty
- 15:40Speaker 1: six Celtics, like all the throwback vintage teams in ten years,
- 15:45Speaker 1: in twenty years, if this Knicks team pull off that
- 15:47Speaker 1: and win this series. They're going to be one of
- 15:49Speaker 1: those teams because they went on a thirteen game win
- 15:53Speaker 1: streak to get here, had a loss, and maybe they're
- 15:57Speaker 1: gonna win the next two. So there's a world where
- 15:58Speaker 1: they have three total players loss. This on the road
- 16:01Speaker 1: to an NBA championship, and a lot of those games
- 16:04Speaker 1: leading up to it are double digit wins. Like the
- 16:06Speaker 1: numbers are saying that legendary team, and sometimes the numbers
- 16:10Speaker 1: are gonna speak for himself. I can't imagine in twenty
- 16:13Speaker 1: years we go looking back on those rockster be like
- 16:14Speaker 1: damn O. Jannonoby was a ninety two overall, because that's
- 16:18Speaker 1: what two kn't do. They inflate them overalls for them,
- 16:19Speaker 1: for the players once they retire. Hose Alvarado was really
- 16:24Speaker 1: big in this one. Big top of the key three
- 16:26Speaker 1: pointer man, big big top like a not a grenade,
- 16:29Speaker 1: but lake in the shot cla get it up on
- 16:31Speaker 1: the rim and he got it up on the rim
- 16:32Speaker 1: and then went in And I was so ready, let
- 16:34Speaker 1: me look at my notes. I was so ready to
- 16:36Speaker 1: just talk about how out of the four Deuce McBride shots,
- 16:39Speaker 1: I hated three of them, Like Duce is like, I'm
- 16:42Speaker 1: gonna get me on the board and it ain't really working.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Two thousand and one minute Spurs first first quarter team.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Oh the cat letting it get to his head. One
- 16:53Speaker 1: thing I noticed in this first half, with Cat being
- 16:55Speaker 1: in foul trouble and of course the fans really being
- 16:57Speaker 1: in on the officiating and the players being able to fit,
- 17:00Speaker 1: there are many times where Quarnthony Town's body language looked
- 17:03Speaker 1: like he was back in Minnesota. And that's not a compliment,
- 17:07Speaker 1: where like he's jostly for with Keldon Johnson for positioning
- 17:10Speaker 1: and he's not getting the call or he's not able
- 17:12Speaker 1: to get that positioning and he just stops attempting and
- 17:14Speaker 1: he looks at the ref and do this. That type
- 17:16Speaker 1: of stuff pisses me off, and I can understand this frustration,
- 17:20Speaker 1: but like, we hadn't seen that version of him all
- 17:22Speaker 1: playoffs long, and it's been working by him not diving
- 17:25Speaker 1: into that bag, and I thought it did it was
- 17:27Speaker 1: letting him get in his head. But boy, boy boy,
- 17:30Speaker 1: Mitchell Robson throws that you did get Victor Wimbyama. He
- 17:33Speaker 1: does aget in the head. All that's gonna be a
- 17:35Speaker 1: member moment for Knicks fans because the Spurs won't able
- 17:39Speaker 1: to capitalize on a twenty nine point lead in the
- 17:41Speaker 1: NBA Finals. I feel like there's many things I'm forgetting about.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I just can't believe the game we just watched. Man.
- 17:48Speaker 1: I just this is the most one of the most interesting.
- 17:53Speaker 1: I can't say that because last year was Game seven.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Hey man, the parody era, the parody era is insane.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Think about this. Yeah, we've had our duds in the fighters, right,
- 18:01Speaker 1: I think, no disrespect to this, to the to the
- 18:04Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks, but that's Celtics versus Dallas series wasn't very fun.
- 18:07Speaker 1: The celtis kind of deal they had to do. But
- 18:10Speaker 1: like the last couple of years, we get to the
- 18:11Speaker 1: finals and it's like, oh yeah, objectively, that Western Conference
- 18:14Speaker 1: team gonna dominate. And here we are with the Eastern
- 18:17Speaker 1: Conference teams are up three to one. Ojiohananobe is so
- 18:23Speaker 1: fucking good at basketball. Man, It's it's it's suspicious. Now,
- 18:29Speaker 1: it's kind of suspicious. How is he not missing? How
- 18:33Speaker 1: is he getting so many stops? Stop on darn Fox
- 18:37Speaker 1: on top of the key isolation, one four flat block
- 18:41Speaker 1: on darn Fox on the layup again, one of the
- 18:44Speaker 1: one of the stupidestusesses you'll see an NBA Finals game.
- 18:46Speaker 1: By the way, I'm sorry, gear Fox, you're my boy,
- 18:47Speaker 1: but like god, Lee, that was ridiculous, and then tip
- 18:50Speaker 1: in that all happened within one minute of game time.
- 18:58Speaker 1: The Knicks might do it, man, the Knicks might do it.
- 19:01Speaker 1: And it's interesting because if y'all watch my shows. Pierre,
- 19:06Speaker 1: one of my co hosts, last my cousin Die Her
- 19:07Speaker 1: a Knicks fan. Back, here's my credential to the NBA Finals.
- 19:11Speaker 1: That credential, you could get me into Game five. So
- 19:15Speaker 1: Pierre is having a debate with himself on whether or
- 19:17Speaker 1: not he should book tickets to San Antonio to potentially
- 19:20Speaker 1: see a close out game for the Knicks, And if
- 19:23Speaker 1: I was him, I would do if my favorite team
- 19:26Speaker 1: was had an opportunity to close out a game on
- 19:28Speaker 1: the road in the Finals, and I didn't have to
- 19:29Speaker 1: pay to get in. The only thing I gotta pay
- 19:31Speaker 1: for is a flight in a hotel. I'm there, so
- 19:34Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to get my boy to suit up
- 19:36Speaker 1: and get there because I don't know. He's been a
- 19:39Speaker 1: Knicks fan for thirty two years and he has never
- 19:41Speaker 1: seen it I would want him to be able to
- 19:45Speaker 1: experience that. Now if they lost the game and he'd
- 19:47Speaker 1: have to go to me and it's a different story,
- 19:48Speaker 1: but like to be able to potentially do that, I
- 19:52Speaker 1: would advise. And then I just how do you get
- 19:56Speaker 1: up from this? And the Spurs defense, which they don't
- 19:59Speaker 1: really need to finish right now, they played like shit
- 20:01Speaker 1: in the second half when Winby threw that ball off
- 20:03Speaker 1: Steph Castle's back. They were able to answer pretty pretty well.
- 20:08Speaker 1: But this might be too much. You let me know.
