- 0:04Speaker 1: Like I said, in this house, you respect the Cup.
- 0:07Speaker 1: I am so excited to talk about this. I'm excited
- 0:08Speaker 1: for the Knicks. I think that the Cup is only
- 0:11Speaker 1: as important or as good as the players allow it
- 0:14Speaker 1: to be. And as you can see from the celebrations
- 0:16Speaker 1: from the Knicks, they're taking this thing serious. I can't
- 0:18Speaker 1: wait to talk about this game. But this is crazy.
- 0:21Speaker 1: It's ninety percent of the notes in here it's about
- 0:23Speaker 1: the Spurs because for three and a half quarters this
- 0:25Speaker 1: was a Spurs game, from Harper to Cassu to Dearn Fox,
- 0:31Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But then something shifted and
- 0:33Speaker 1: the Knicks went on a huge you run, and before
- 0:36Speaker 1: we get into it all, I do have to pay

- 1:39Speaker 1: Shout out to Seageek for sponsoring another video. Now, based
- 1:42Speaker 1: on how this game was going, I fully expected this
- 1:45Speaker 1: video to be heavy on to fine Castle talk, heavy
- 1:48Speaker 1: on Dylan Harper talking. You know what, I will give
- 1:50Speaker 1: them their flowers because I thought Stefon Castle was great tonight.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Outside of his overall just shooting and scoring and everything.
- 1:55Speaker 1: The twelve assists and a lot of those is him
- 1:58Speaker 1: just getting two feet into the paint and throwing it
- 2:00Speaker 1: up to Luke Cornett. And one of the things I
- 2:02Speaker 1: had in my notes is how that first line of
- 2:04Speaker 1: defense for the New York Nicks, especially early in this game,
- 2:06Speaker 1: was getting told up by these guards with the B
- 2:08Speaker 1: D Aaron where they v Stefan Castle, and it cand
- 2:10Speaker 1: of leaves cat in this no man's land. And one
- 2:12Speaker 1: thing about Karnthaky Towns, you cannot get caught and no
- 2:15Speaker 1: man's left from him because it's usually gonna end up
- 2:17Speaker 1: in the bucket for the opposing team. Now, this game
- 2:19Speaker 1: is all Spurs all the time until he got to
- 2:22Speaker 1: a point where Karnthory Towns goes down with whatever injury.
- 2:25Speaker 1: He goes to the bench and he got a towel
- 2:26Speaker 1: of his face. In my mind, I don't think he's
- 2:28Speaker 1: coming back in this game. Eventually he does, but when
- 2:30Speaker 1: that happens, they bring in Mitchell Robinson. And Mitchell Robinson
- 2:34Speaker 1: as crazy as it sounds, if you go back and
- 2:36Speaker 1: listen to small Ball with Kenny Beach, and before the
- 2:38Speaker 1: season started and I was making my NBA Finals pick,
- 2:40Speaker 1: I said, OK, see Thunder over the New York Knicks.
- 2:43Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I picked the New York
- 2:44Speaker 1: Knicks because Mitchell Robinson, if he can be healthy, can
- 2:47Speaker 1: be so much of an X factor in a singular
- 2:49Speaker 1: individual game.
- 2:50Speaker 2: And we saw that today.
- 2:51Speaker 1: He's two for six in the field ten offensive rebounds. Now,
- 2:57Speaker 1: I have not looked to see how many second chance
- 2:59Speaker 1: points they ended up with all of the offensive rebounds
- 3:01Speaker 1: they had, but I could guess it was a lot.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Some of them is strictly when the momentum shifted well
- 3:07Speaker 1: on back to back possessions, Mitchell Robinson gets offensive boards,
- 3:10Speaker 1: it kicks it out to Jordan Clarkson for shots. He
- 3:13Speaker 1: just changed the whole dynamic of his game. We had
- 3:16Speaker 1: consistent offensive pressure from Ojionanoby, from shooting the three, from
- 3:19Speaker 1: getting to the rim.
- 3:20Speaker 2: He was just overall great.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And the Knicks, I can say this for Basie the
- 3:24Speaker 1: first time of forever they got like true depth right.
- 3:27Speaker 1: And this is with them having two guys that would
- 3:30Speaker 1: normally be in the rotation and bounce with Bride and
- 3:32Speaker 1: Landry Shalman being the street closing, Landry Shalman had that
- 3:34Speaker 1: weird look that I swear I saw on Adam Sandler
- 3:37Speaker 1: one time. And Adam Sandler does a bunch of basketball
- 3:39Speaker 1: shorts and stuff. I don't know if it was in
- 3:40Speaker 1: a movie where he had a button up shirt. Behalf
- 3:42Speaker 1: of his shirt was tucked in, the other half was
- 3:44Speaker 1: not tucked in, and I thought it was a mistake
- 3:46Speaker 1: for some time. But every time they cut to the
- 3:47Speaker 1: bench and I saw him, nobody told him to fix it.
- 3:50Speaker 2: So I think that's just the fast. I don't know.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I'm not in his tax bracket to know if that's
- 3:53Speaker 1: what the richest people are doing in the world of doing.
- 3:55Speaker 2: But he just got five thousand dollars Richard.
- 3:57Speaker 1: So you got Landry Shalmon and MOUs and Bride not
- 4:00Speaker 1: being in the rotation, and that allowed Tyler Colek to
- 4:04Speaker 1: come in.
- 4:05Speaker 2: He was so good in this game.
- 4:06Speaker 1: The Michel Bridges, who's normally like a guy that would
- 4:09Speaker 1: have to close out a game, he gets yanked in
- 4:11Speaker 1: this one so Tyler colet can come in. And I
- 4:13Speaker 1: thought that coach Mike Brown did an amazing job in
- 4:16Speaker 1: the timing of that. It was the one possession where
- 4:18Speaker 1: Jaylen Bronson ended up getting his his cookies taken. And
- 4:21Speaker 1: then immediately Tyler Colet comes off. And then this very
- 4:23Speaker 1: next possession, Tyler Coleck doesn't now dribble and kicks it
- 4:26Speaker 1: out to a corner for three. This is just depth
- 4:29Speaker 1: and just overall persistence and being great. And I ain't
- 4:33Speaker 1: mentioned the name Jaylen Brounton. One of the things that
- 4:36Speaker 1: was on my list to try to tally, and I
- 4:38Speaker 1: tried my best to do this, but reminded, for the
- 4:40Speaker 1: people at home, I got two kids. It ain't as
- 4:41Speaker 1: easy to just watch the games and take notes in
- 4:43Speaker 1: every single possession when you got kids. But if you
- 4:46Speaker 1: were on NBA Twitter after the OKC versus Spurs game,
- 4:49Speaker 1: you would have probably saw the tweet that said the
- 4:51Speaker 1: OKC thunder attempted three shots at the rim when Women
- 4:54Speaker 1: Yama was in the game in those twenty minutes. And
- 4:56Speaker 1: I was like, one of the things I thought would
- 4:59Speaker 1: kind of determine his game is how often the New
- 5:01Speaker 1: York Knicks attempt to shots on the rim from two
- 5:04Speaker 1: to three feet out. And in his first stemp talking
- 5:06Speaker 1: about Women's first stint, the Knicks were one and two.
- 5:08Speaker 1: But I don't know if you remember the first stent
- 5:10Speaker 1: that was the basket they scored at the paint was
- 5:12Speaker 1: when kartin Towns A straight up shoved Winbiyama to the
- 5:14Speaker 1: floor so he wasn't around his second stent.
- 5:16Speaker 2: They were zero for five.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Like, but even this, I can say this was not
- 5:23Speaker 1: a good Winby game. Now, it's better defensively than like
- 5:27Speaker 1: ninety seven percent of the league can even do. But
- 5:29Speaker 1: if you just look at the film for this game
- 5:30Speaker 1: versus the film for the last game versus okay, see
- 5:33Speaker 1: this game.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Is dramatically different.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I thought there were times in this game were straight
- 5:37Speaker 1: up he got bullied by Mitchell Robinson on the glass.
- 5:40Speaker 2: But also it felt as though sometimes in.
- 5:42Speaker 1: This game he was a little bit late and that
- 5:44Speaker 1: Lai rotation kind of relied on his wing span a
- 5:46Speaker 1: little bit to try to get extra blocks to try
- 5:48Speaker 1: to deterch shots that way, and it led to other
- 5:50Speaker 1: offensive rebounds to Mitchell Robinson. So overall, I don't think
- 5:53Speaker 1: this is a great defensive game for Winby. Also on
- 5:55Speaker 1: the offensive side as well, the Knicks did a very
- 5:58Speaker 1: good job of preventing him from getting of the basket.
- 6:01Speaker 2: I mean we got to the point in the second
- 6:02Speaker 2: half where they did. I'm sorry.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Early in the first half of Ojionanobi was the victor
- 6:05Speaker 1: wombin Yama matchup. And again, this is a thousand team.
- 6:09Speaker 1: We see this, see do this to women Yama. Where
- 6:12Speaker 1: was Alex carusso last game? And I think Winby got
- 6:14Speaker 1: the better of him in that situation, not just because
- 6:16Speaker 1: of the win, but because of some of the buckets
- 6:18Speaker 1: that he did end up having.
- 6:19Speaker 2: And I think o Jiadanobi did an amazing job on Winby.
- 6:22Speaker 1: So you know, he has to figure out how do
- 6:24Speaker 1: I still stay a mega effective offensively when we do
- 6:27Speaker 1: have teams throwing these these wings and guards of us.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Because it got to the point where he wasn't even
- 6:31Speaker 1: fighting for positioning anymore.
- 6:32Speaker 2: He was straight up to send at the perimeter.
- 6:34Speaker 1: And that's just not going to be good enough anymore,
- 6:37Speaker 1: not in the game like this with this level of six.
- 6:39Speaker 2: And he did go it's about.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Twenty five minutes or so, But I don't think it
- 6:42Speaker 1: was a great Winby game any means.
- 6:44Speaker 2: So I do got the numbers.
- 6:45Speaker 1: It's thirty two second chance points in this game, the
- 6:49Speaker 1: Knicks at teenth of thirty one shots in the fourth
- 6:52Speaker 1: quarter versus nineteen shots of the Spurs, and since the
- 6:55Speaker 1: Spurs are not this mega efficient offensive team, you just
- 6:59Speaker 1: can't win a game that way if the opposing team
- 7:03Speaker 1: has a twelve more just shots on the rim than you.
- 7:07Speaker 1: One thing I did think that was interesting is that
- 7:09Speaker 1: so I waited to see who's going VP. I knew
- 7:11Speaker 1: it's gonna be Jayleen brunts, but I want to see
- 7:13Speaker 1: what was being said. Mike Brown was asked about the
- 7:16Speaker 1: NBA Cup and how he feels about it. He says
- 7:18Speaker 1: something along the lines if you have an opportunity to
- 7:20Speaker 1: compete in the tournament and be the last team there,
- 7:22Speaker 1: no matter the stakes, you take that as a win.
- 7:25Speaker 2: He also said any opportunity to raise a banner, specifically
- 7:29Speaker 2: a Madison Square garden, And I don't know if the
- 7:32Speaker 2: Bucks did, or I don't know if the Lakers did.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Are we raising banners for the Cup?
- 7:39Speaker 1: Because if we are, then we are completely in on
- 7:41Speaker 1: the Cup being like a real, real thing, you know.
- 7:43Speaker 1: If let me see, I got a Google real quick.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I'm sorry I keep pausing the video, but I got
- 7:46Speaker 1: a Google.
- 7:47Speaker 2: This best picture I can get.
- 7:51Speaker 1: So the Bucks did raise a banner, it's it does
- 7:53Speaker 1: not a logo, It's not the greatest of quality. But
- 7:58Speaker 1: they did. Let me see about the Lakers. Hold on,
- 7:59Speaker 1: hold on, Yeah, they won the anaugural one, so it
- 8:03Speaker 1: was before it was the Cup and it was just
- 8:05Speaker 1: the NBA n season tournament. Do they change that to
- 8:09Speaker 1: make it say NBA Cup one day? So okay, we
- 8:11Speaker 1: real like raising banners.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Go Knicks, man.
- 8:14Speaker 1: This is the type performance that reminds you or just
- 8:16Speaker 1: not just this game, but their game against der Lindo,
- 8:18Speaker 1: matter game against the Raptors, like all these games leading
- 8:22Speaker 1: up to this eventual NBA Cup championship, and banner and
- 8:24Speaker 1: all is a reminder to hopefully the entires of conference
- 8:27Speaker 1: that the Knicks are the favorite. I know that they
- 8:29Speaker 1: may not have the best record in the conference, but
- 8:31Speaker 1: a game like this reminds you that they have the
- 8:33Speaker 1: level of depth, they have the level of star player
- 8:35Speaker 1: because we haven't even really mentioned jingaln Brunt's name to yet,
- 8:37Speaker 1: and they have some of these X factors between a
- 8:40Speaker 1: heart who can give you all of his heart on
- 8:42Speaker 1: any given possession and a guy like Mitch Robinson who
- 8:45Speaker 1: if you allow him to stay into the game, can
- 8:47Speaker 1: really swing it. I wonder if there was some conversations
- 8:50Speaker 1: from mix Johnson the company on hacker Robinson, but then
- 8:53Speaker 1: again it ended up being too late in the game.
- 8:54Speaker 1: I think it's illegal at that point, so maybe that
- 8:57Speaker 1: wasn't really necessarily something that they talked about, but it
- 9:01Speaker 1: was something that we seen other teams do to Mitchell
- 9:04Speaker 1: Robinson to get him so he can't really play. Because
- 9:06Speaker 1: this is the way the hack of thing works, in
- 9:08Speaker 1: my personal opinion, and we see it all the time
- 9:11Speaker 1: that once you commit to doing it, eventually the coach
- 9:13Speaker 1: that has the player that is getting hacked, unless it
- 9:16Speaker 1: is Dwight Howard or somebody that legitimately is a star,
- 9:19Speaker 1: they just opt to say it's not even worse the time,
- 9:21Speaker 1: and that would have made the Knicks basically run hock
- 9:24Speaker 1: porty or just cars they need to, I don't know,
- 9:26Speaker 1: a super small by like I don't know, so I
- 9:27Speaker 1: wonder if in the back of their mind if they
- 9:29Speaker 1: would have, you know, just just put some Mitchell Robinson
- 9:33Speaker 1: fouling there. So overall, shout out to the New York Knicks,
- 9:37Speaker 1: Shout out to everybody that performed in the Cup because
- 9:39Speaker 1: it really was a really great game, and I think
- 9:43Speaker 1: this shows like some of the youth aspect of the
- 9:46Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs because.
- 9:48Speaker 2: They had it and they let go of the rope.
- 9:50Speaker 1: And while the Knicks were on their run, it felt
- 9:52Speaker 1: like they had no counters to what the opposing team
- 9:55Speaker 1: was doing. I wonder if there was a world they
- 9:57Speaker 1: can throw the double big line up with a coordinate
- 10:00Speaker 1: and the wind be down there if we were really
- 10:02Speaker 1: getting killed on the glass.
- 10:03Speaker 2: But now we're thinking about, you know, things in the past.
- 10:06Speaker 1: So shout out to the Knicks who got who would
- 10:08Speaker 1: have won and benefited the most of this tu saying
- 10:12Speaker 1: ev Bowen the kombe bad. Yeah, that's the first roe
- 10:17Speaker 1: I picked though, So you got a little bit of
- 10:18Speaker 1: a bag already. Kevin mccullors extra filnd K Trey Jamison. Hey,
- 10:23Speaker 1: Trey Jamison just got a bat. I bet that's like
- 10:27Speaker 1: like basically his career earnings. Nah, two way guys, all right,
- 10:31Speaker 1: shout out to the Knicks. Super fun game. Can't wait
- 10:35Speaker 1: to get back to other basketball too,
