• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Ninety one to ninety is your final score. The Knicks
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: again down by twenty and come back to win, and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: both of those games in Boston. We'll talk more about
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that kind of advantage in just a second, but first
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: let's get some yak and yak.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Two games we up twenty points somehow end up not
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: really wins. It's an excusable.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: What are some of the characterists that you'd like about
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: this group that tells you can get right back into
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: this series.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Resiliency, toughness. We got a great group that has
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: stayed together through it all. Either a moments where we
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: need to show our resiliency because we can get back
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: in this thing, no question. I think you need to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: spot them twenty points from opening tip to be able
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to play a best basketball.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I would prefer not to, but we need to start
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: the game a lot better. They're gonna go around and
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: stir a great team, and they can shoot the ball
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: and they can make plays with each other like no other.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: But you gotta just find a way to limit their runs.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: And so I'm not getting a hall like that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Josh, I thought you were tweeting, so I kept refreshing. Oh,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: now I was trying to order some uber eats.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Well, they feasted on the Celtics for the second straight game,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: seventy five to fifty five in Game one, seventy three
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: fifty three in Game two. You see those game ending
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: runs and how the Knicks were able to somehow on
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the other guy's floor, the champions floor. Go in there
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and take the first two of this series check.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: You know, my favorite part of that, that whole thing
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: is looking at the clips and you see Celtic shooting threes,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: and you see Nicks playing old school basketball, taking a
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: high percent of shot, drawing and kicking, going to the hole.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: You know, when you're down and when you're not the favorite,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: there's really no pressure you. But they just kept playing,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: kept playing, and the dumb Celtics just kept shooting up threes.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Nick's getting the rebound, pulling it out. Brunton played great,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: break just played great. Cat played great, and they did
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the unexpected. They're up to now for the Knicks. Don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: get comfortable. It's a must win for Baltimore. It's also
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: a must win for Knicks if you want to put
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: serious pressure on the champs. Game three is a month
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: for the Knicks.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Thirty to seventeen in the fourth quarter.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: So let me let me take that for a second.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: He is one hundred percent correct. I'm one of the
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: few people in the world who have been in this
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: situation twice.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: I was just going to bring that up, as I said,
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: I've been in this situation twice.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: We played the Lakers when we were the number one
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: seed in the West. We lost the first two games
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: at home in a five game series, in a five
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: game series, and I said, and I remember telling the guys,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: I said, guys, all we gotta do is get the
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: first one, but then the pressure switches back to them.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: But I don't let us win one.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Who let us, of course, but you gotta win the
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: third one because then the pressure switches. But also with Kenny,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: when we won the first two games in Houston, I
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: remember telling the guy guy us, we cannot go back
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: to Houston to two. We cannot go back to Houston
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: to towo. We got to win game three and in
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: both of those ends. So what Shack said, game three
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: is a must win. It's gonna sound stupid. Game three
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: is a must win for the Knicks because if they
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: get back to because because game four, because Boston's got
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: a better team. They've been up twenty. But I'm telling
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: you been in that situation twice. You gotta win that
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: third game.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: And I knew. I still thought we were gonna.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Win the series when we were up, but when we
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: lost game three, But it actually flips the mental picture.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: What was it like on your end when you're at
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: home and you lose the first two against his bunch?
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: Well, there was, strangely enough, there was a high level
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: of confidence only because we were like, we can get
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: up twenty on these guys, like we just have to
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: sustain it. And it was like, Okay, what did they
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: do that allow us to get up twenty? Can we
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: do that again?
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: And then what did we do to allow them to
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: get back? And really, what is we got tight? We
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: stopped shooting quickly, taking your first opportunity, your first open shot,
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: and we try to get the great shot, and then
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: all of a sudden they start closing in. Now the
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: leads start shrinking, and you get nervous. That's human nature.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: But when you when you stay flee, free flowing, you're
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: going to be okay. And you have to believe. You
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: have to have an you have to have a unbridled
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: belief in yourself.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Did you feel like when you won Game three?
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: We were we were saying saying, like, we win game three,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: you know they know what they're gonna be tight game four?
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Can we going back to h Stap.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: What's interesting, Game one was a nail biter, and then
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: in game four in game game one was a nail biter.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Game two, they were up like twenty five, and we.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Said, and Paul West Faster's guys, just start taking a
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: bunch of threes for like five minutes.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: If not, well, it's.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: What you said that since it was okay, It was
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: okay if we were down twenty five, and he says, guys,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna give y'all five minutes because we got to
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: get ready for game three. He said, just jack up
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: a bunch of threes. You know, Marlon Ainge love that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: And before we know it, we had it down to fifteenth.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Then we get it to ten and he right, they
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: got tight. We shouldn't have won game too, that's what
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: was crazy.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: About it, and all of a sudden you did.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: And but going back to what the Celtics mindset, if
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: you know, based off experience, would be, we can get
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: up twenty points and we can't beat these guys.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: No, that's that's impossible.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: So they know we can get up twenty and there's
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: no way they're gonna do that three times. And so
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: you're gonna have you have to have all, like I said,
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: an unbrider, belief in yourself though there Yeah, but I
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: think like that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: I think what could be a possible problem for the
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Celtics is they won the championship laying this way. So
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: they are the champs, so this way works. Okay, we
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: we missed forty the first game, we missed twenty this game,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: but we have the champs. And instead of saying we're
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: not shooting threes, were going to the basket. We're getting
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: in the penalty. We taking high percent of shot. If
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I kick it out, then he can shoot the three.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: No quick three.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: But I think say, I think Row didn't, but I
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: thought he came out with that mindset that you're taking
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: care of every level of shots.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Three Chack the.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: One thing that would scare me. They wish it was
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: only the one thing that was. And then thirty the
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: one thing that would scare me. They they live and
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: die with them three. They'll have two awful games. But
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: they're Jayleen Brown changed up a little bit and so
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: going to the basket. But you never know when those
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: threes gonna click in. You never know.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Cannot wait to watch Game three on Saturday afternoon in
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: On the third hole. By then, I'll have my phone
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: up there.
• 6:58

• 7:01
