They lose their strong closure. That's in a bad spot right now.
0:09
I've never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
0:12
We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
0:14
can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
0:17
I played 82 games. You don't see Levon doing that,
0:20
but Jack Hughes did after getting his teeth knocked down
0:23
to play every single shift he got back in the game.

2:24
rough week, All right? Yesterday was my birthday.
2:29
I turned 44. I I celebrated it.
2:31
I celebrated it with my girlfriend.
2:32
It was crazy. I went.
2:34
Out to the jazz here in Long Island, New York.
2:36
It's a new restaurant. It's a steak restaurant.
2:39
It was good. I'm not going to go again
2:41
because I'm not spending well. She's not going to spend another
2:43
$450. I mean, we had all different
2:46
things. And I understand when you go to
2:49
those fancy restaurants, they cost some money, but the food
2:52
wasn't that good. It was good.
2:55
It wasn't that good. That's all I'm going to say now.
2:57
I'm not saying I'm not going to, I'm not going to tell anybody
3:00
not to go and try it or I I did like the lobster crab cakes.
3:03
They were really good. The steaks, the steak was a
3:07
little burnt. I'm just, I like it medium rare.
3:10
I'm medium well. I almost said medium rare.
3:12
I don't like it medium rare, but I like it medium well.
3:15
But you see, when you go to those steak restaurants, you
3:18
would expect that it just be nice.
3:20
And by the way, the lamb chops were good too.
3:22
I can't lie. The lamb chops were good too.
3:23
I like lamb chops. Good choice.
3:25
Yes, but everything else was I didn't even want dessert.
3:30
Usually I'm a dessert guy. I like to try all the different
3:32
desserts and Brittany was like, go ahead, pick whatever you
3:35
want, pick all of them if you want them.
3:36
And I was like, no, I don't want any.
3:38
I I'd rather go to Carvel. I wanted, I'm not going to
3:40
Carvel. I want, I want, I, I went to get
3:42
a smoothie. I think it was a strawberry
3:45
banana smoothie. I'm trying to stay away from the
3:47
sugar drinks. I'm trying to stay away from
3:49
sugar. Anyways, it was good.
3:52
I had a very happy birthday for all the fans out there wished me
3:55
a happy birthday, my friends, my family.
3:58
Thank you to everybody for wishing me a happy birthday.
4:00
I did enjoy my 44th but it's all the same.
4:04
It's all the same every time. Every.
4:07
Year, every year it's the same when I was 34, by the way, when
4:11
I was 34, my father passed away. So it's 10 years of the day.
4:15
My father passed away five days after my birthday.
4:18
So May 5th my father passed away.
4:20
So that's how I remember it it it's definitely not something
4:23
that you want to remember. But nevertheless it it's been a
4:27
crazy, crazy week. But it's time to get into the
4:30
Knicks because the Knicks are the story as they can end this
4:33
series tonight with the Hawks. The New York Knicks dominated
4:40
the Hawks in Game 5 by a score of 126 to 97 to take a three two
4:46
series lead. Jaylor Bronson led the Knicks
4:48
with 39 points, 3 rebounds in eight assists and a + 23 rating.
4:54
Both OG and Anobi and Karl Anthony Towns had a double
4:58
double and also two steals each. After having a good series for
5:03
the first four games, the Knicks finally shut down CJ McCollum,
5:07
holding him to a three of 10 shooting game.
5:11
No Hawks starters had more than 20 points and only Alexander
5:17
Walker made more than two 3 pointers in the game.
5:21
The Knicks bench got much more involved in game #5 which
5:25
impacted the game. Jeremy Sochen and Jordan
5:29
Clarkson and Jose Alvarado were very much involved in that game
5:33
and the Knicks have outscored the Hawks by 54 total points in
5:38
the 1st five games with Game 6 tonight in Atlanta.
5:44
I'm going to say this. Mikhail Bridges finally showed
5:46
up. He hasn't showed up this whole
5:48
series. He hasn't showed up at all in
5:51
this series. But finally, this team, the
5:53
second-half defended, took out CJ McCollum.
5:57
Johnson all series long has had a problem shooting.
6:01
Thank you, OG Ananobi. You can say whatever you want.
6:04
It's OG Ananobi. He's played dominantly
6:07
defensively in this series. And that's what we expect from
6:10
probably one of the top three wingmen, wing defenders in the
6:13
NBA. But to see Jeremy Sochen getting
6:18
involved, Jordan Clarkson, Jose Alvarado, Jeremy Sochen came
6:22
from the Spurs. He was waved by the Spurs.
6:24
He picked the Knicks to come to. I thought he was going to play a
6:27
big dividend to the the New York Knicks in in many different
6:32
series, especially against the Celtics.
6:33
If they match up against the Celtics, they're going to need
6:35
Jeremy because Jeremy is a great rebounder and he's a great
6:39
perimeter defender. This is what the Knicks need to
6:42
do. They need to defend.
6:44
They need these guys to be involved more and bringing in
6:47
Sochin and Alvarado, these are two guys that are gifted
6:50
defensively. We all know Jeremy Jaylen
6:54
Bronson is not a good defender. We know Karl Anthony Towns is
6:57
not a good defender. Any radio show, I don't care
7:00
what it is, any podcast for the new year, New York Knicks are
7:03
coming out there and saying, oh, Karl Anthony Towns can play
7:06
defense. Jaylen Bronson can play defense.
7:09
They cannot. We all know they're not two way
7:12
basketball players. They're good at what they're
7:14
good at. But to take out CJ McCollum,
7:17
who's been dominant in this series, he's played
7:19
fantastically. I'm not going to say anything
7:21
bad about CJ McCollum. He's had a great career playing
7:25
in Portland, then coming over here with the Hawks, being a
7:27
leader over here, working with Johnson, working with Walker.
7:31
This team is has a great future. They really do.
7:35
But this series should end tonight.
7:38
It should end tonight. Not because the New York Knicks
7:43
are better, Not because the Hawks are not good enough to
7:46
beat the Knicks. It's just because the Knicks
7:50
need some time to breathe. The Celtics are having problems
7:53
right now with the 76ers. That could go seven games.
7:56
It really much. It really, really could.
7:58
They're going. The Celtics are going back to
8:02
Philadelphia. And finally, Embiid played a
8:07
game that actually made something for the 76ers in game
8:12
#5 they need, the Knicks need to beat the Hawks tonight because
8:19
they need that time. They need and, and, and again,
8:21
the Celtics are a completely different animal.
8:23
They're not the Hawks. The Hawks are a young team.
8:25
Yes, they're hungry. Yes, they're not ready for the
8:29
big time. There are probably a year or two
8:31
years away. They need another superstar to
8:33
come play with Johnson. CJ McCollum probably is not
8:36
going to be there 2 years, but they have a great future and
8:39
they have the right now. If the if the if the draft were
8:43
to start and it felt the same way, the way the lottery is
8:47
working, they'd have the 7th or 8th pick so they can get
8:51
themselves a good player. Wilson, one of these guys that
8:54
are out there in the the lottery that are going to be available
8:58
at 7:00 or 8:00. Right now the New York Knicks
9:02
cannot play around with this Hawks team.
9:05
They got to put the foot on the pedal.
9:09
That's, that's been a big problem for the New York Knicks.
9:11
They let this happen all the time.
9:13
They linger. They let this team stay involved
9:15
in the game and then they play messy basketball.
9:19
They they, they throw the ball away.
9:21
They don't defend in certain parts of the game.
9:23
They let teams go on a 9 or 10 point run and then they play
9:28
chase. They play chase.
9:29
The New York Knicks cannot do that.
9:31
They're not. I'm not saying the Knicks are
9:33
not capable of competing with teams that are going to be
9:35
chasing every single game. But the problem with the Knicks
9:38
is when a team gets close, when the Knicks are up by 10 or up by
9:41
9 and it and a team cuts it down to 8 or 7, then the Knicks start
9:45
to play sloppy. And then they put these guys
9:48
like Mikkel Bridges who doesn't play ref doesn't play hard.
9:51
There are games that I wonder if Mikkel Bridges is even in it or
9:55
his head's in the game. OG and Anobi, there are games
9:58
that he's playing great defense, he's playing great offense, or
10:00
he just disappears. These guys got to be consistent.
10:06
And I will say this, when they bring in Jose Alvarado, he's
10:09
consistent, defensively consistent.
10:11
He's going to give you between 8 to 10 points.
10:14
We this is the first time we've seen Jeremy Sochen and that's
10:18
what we want to see. I want to see the young kid.
10:19
I want to see him compete. The Spurs didn't use them
10:23
enough. This kid has a tremendous
10:25
ability of rebounding, rebounding.
10:27
His a knack to go after the ball.
10:29
He has a knack to defend the ball.
10:31
You need these guys. And you saw in game #5 if the
10:35
Knicks play team defense and they play up in their faces, the
10:39
Hawks have problems shooting. The Hawks are great when they
10:44
have these open 3 pointers. If you force them in spots,
10:47
they're uncomfortable. CJ McCollum, Johnson Walker,
10:52
they're always going to be uncomfortable taking those
10:56
shots. They're young.
10:58
This is the first year that Alexander Walker has played at
11:02
an elite level. He's averaging.
11:03
This is the first year I think he's I, I don't know what the
11:06
the number is right now. I think he last year he averaged
11:09
like 9 or 10 points. This year he averaged about 20
11:11
points a game. He's completely changed his game
11:15
offensively. CJ McCollum is playing at a high
11:19
clip in this series. He's before game #5 he was
11:23
averaging about 2526 points a game.
11:26
You cannot beat the Hawks when a 3038 year old, 37 year old point
11:32
guard is shooting at a clip the way he was clipping and boy, he
11:37
was clipping the hell out of the New York Knicks.
11:42
The fact here is when you look at the Knicks and you look at
11:45
the position the Knicks are in tonight, it's put the pedal to
11:50
the metal. Make sure this doesn't go to a
11:53
game seven. You do not want to go back to
11:54
Madison Square Garden. Give this team enough confidence
11:59
to say, hey, all we got to do is show up.
12:02
All we got to do is play hard, and if the Knicks don't play
12:05
hard enough, we're going to beat them.
12:07
You do not want to go into that game seven.
12:09
I'm telling you right now, you want to make sure you end it
12:13
tonight in Atlanta. You heard Jalen Bronson in game
12:16
#4 he said there were more Knicks fans here in game #4 than
12:20
I've ever seen a Knick TA Knick fan base show up at a Hawks
12:25
game. There were just as many Knicks
12:27
fans in game #4 in Atlanta as there were in any of the games
12:33
they played against the Hawks all season long.
12:36
And when you see that when the Knicks fans are travelling and
12:39
they're they're rooting and, and you have the fans on your side,
12:43
it gives you a little bit more confidence.
12:44
But that is, there's no reason why the Knicks cannot win this
12:49
game. They have the best player.
12:50
They have the second best player, honestly, they have the
12:52
three best players in this series.
12:54
They really do think about it. They have Carl Anthony Towns,
12:58
Jalen Brunson. Those are the two best players
13:00
in this series. Repeat that and then you can
13:03
argue Ananobi and Johnson. You can argue it.
13:07
You can argue it, you can argue it.
13:09
So to me, there's no reason why they should go to Game 7.
13:13
But you got to give you the Atlanta Hawks a lot of credit.
13:15
They're young, they're hungry, and they're coming for all the
13:19
Eastern Conference, all the NBA teams that are watching this
13:22
series, they're coming. And that's why the Knicks got to
13:25
make sure this is the if there's a year the Knicks can win a
13:28
championship, it's this year. You could say whatever you want.
13:31
I know you're a Celtic fan. You're going to say that and
13:33
you're going to argue now, Celtics might not even beat the
13:35
76ers. They might not.
13:37
If this goes to a game seven, you're going to say, no way.
13:40
We're going to get into it. The Knicks could be playing the
13:46
76ers. They can be.
13:48
You laugh, but if Joel Embiid puts up another thirty spot
13:52
against that Celtic team tonight, I got news for you.
13:56
It's going to go to a Game 7. If it goes to a game seven, it's
13:59
any team's ball game. They were up 3 to one.
14:04
They were. Up Massey doing right.
14:05
We've seen Massey score 30 and lose right.
14:07
I'm sorry. We've seen Massey score 30 and
14:10
lose against. That's right.
14:11
I, I do know that, but guess what?
14:13
When you have Joel Embiid playing at that level and you
14:16
have Maxi and Paul George giving you 1716 points, it's going to
14:20
be hard to beat that team. It's going to be hard.
14:22
As good as Jason Tatum is, as good as Jaylen Brown.
14:24
We'll get into that because we're, we're going to get into
14:26
the round table. The fact here is the Knicks
14:29
would rather play the Celtics than the 76ers because if you
14:31
look at the Knicks against the 76ers, lesser teams, the Knicks
14:36
don't play well against. It's a fact.
14:38
If you look at the Knicks in the in in the past, in regular
14:42
seasons and playoffs, whenever they play a team that they're
14:46
better than, they don't play as hard and that team sometimes or
14:50
usually beats them. And I don't trust the 76ers.
14:54
I think the Knicks match up very well against the the the
14:57
Celtics. But again, when you look at the
14:59
big picture here, let's not worry about the Celtics and the
15:02
76ers. They need to worry about the
15:04
Atlanta Hawks because. If I know before we go further,
15:07
though, you think the Knicks are better than the 76ers?
15:11
On paper they are. On paper they are.
15:14
Would a healthy joke Joel Embiid?
15:16
Absolutely. How healthy?
15:18
Is he? I know you can.
15:19
We can always say how you know. But hold on.
15:21
One second has the Knicks. Beat.
15:23
Has the Knicks beaten Joel Embiid when he was healthy?
15:27
Yeah, they have. They have beaten Joel Embiid.
15:29
I mean, he was talking. About one dogs and regular
15:33
season. Games.
15:34
No, I'm I'm talking about the playoffs.
15:36
I'm talking, you're telling me they never beaten Joel Embiid in
15:39
the playoffs? I'm not saying that in heaven.
15:41
I'm saying you. Are you saying here live now
15:44
that the New York Knicks as as they are now, everybody helped
15:50
on a roster, it's better than a Philadelphia?
15:52
Saint, Absolutely. Everybody on a roster.
15:54
Absolutely. And this is the delusion that.
15:57
There is no delusion. If you look at their rosters,
16:00
Paul George is not the same player he once was.
16:02
You're going to tell me, Paul George?
16:04
Have to be. You're telling me Paul George is
16:05
better than OG Ananobi? He's not.
16:08
He's not. He's not.
16:10
Maxi's better than Jaylen Bronson.
16:12
He's not. By far.
16:14
He's you're out of your mind. He's not.
16:15
No, you're out of your mind. No, you're out of your mind.
16:17
He's not. Matthew, way better than.
16:19
Jamie, you're, you're crazy. He's not just wait for Errol to
16:22
tell tell you the stat of he's not going to the conference
16:25
finals and. You're going to tell me right
16:27
now the way Joel Embiid is is not healthy.
16:30
He's better than Carl Anthony Towns.
16:31
He's not. He's healthy now.
16:34
Let's not use that if. He's not better than call
16:37
Anthony Towns, right? Now.
16:39
He's not better than call Anthony Towns, OK?
16:41
He's not, if you would ask. Me call Anthony Towns Ever been
16:45
up for MVP? At all?
16:46
Are you telling me their full roster is better than the New
16:49
York Knicks? They're not.
16:51
That's a good answer. You didn't answer.
16:53
I don't have to because if you match, because if you match.
16:57
Who's better than this? Because if you, because if you
17:00
match their rosters, the Knicks are much better.
17:03
Much better all. Right, crazy.
17:05
Really. Tell me.
17:06
All right, All right. I'm not watching the games.
17:09
All right, All right. I'm gonna.
17:10
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.
17:12
Give me, give me. Give me.
17:14
Go ahead, give me. I got a.
17:16
Question for you first. I have a good question for you.
17:18
Give me 5 players on that bench right now.
17:21
Who bitch? The 76ers, don't look at that.
17:24
Don't look at your screen. Look up.
17:24
Let me go. Let me look at it.
17:26
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:28
Now you're cheating. Then you're cheating.
17:30
Then you're cheating. Then you don't know ball.
17:32
You are saying they're they don't.
17:34
Know Ball? Yeah, you don't know Ball.
17:36
You said they're cheating. You, you said.
17:39
You say they're better regardless on paper.
17:41
On paper? On paper, the New York Knicks
17:44
have a better bench than the 70s.
17:45
They don't. Have nobody for Edgecomb, OK.
17:47
Who? Oh, is that what you brought?
17:51
Wing defenders that can guard Michael.
17:53
Bridges, come on, what? Else Michael Bridges,
17:57
absolutely, absolutely go look at, go look at.
18:01
Go look at Mckill. Who you gonna put with Aubrey?
18:04
Are you, are you done? Keep spinning.
18:06
That's right. Keep spinning out there.
18:09
Sound like us? Ghost, hold on, go keep spinning
18:12
out names. Keep spinning out names.
18:14
Go ahead with that. Just keep spinning out names
18:16
because I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you after
18:18
you're done and. Then and then coming off your
18:19
bench, who you going to match up with?
18:21
Drummond. Are you done?
18:24
Yeah, that's three. Mitchell Robertson would kick
18:27
that crap out of Mitchell Robertson will kick kick the
18:30
crap out of Andre Drummond 1 Kelly Ubrey Are you kidding me?
18:35
Did you bring up Kelly Ubrey? Yeah, Kelly Oprey.
18:38
That's been a journeyman all over the NBA, that guy.
18:40
Kelly Oprey we're talking about now.
18:43
He's. Not good.
18:44
He's not good. He's not a good player.
18:47
What are you talking about? He's not good.
18:49
What is Kelly Oprey averaging right now in the NBA?
18:52
14.1. Points.
18:53
OK, I rest my case. You're going to tell me?
18:56
That's not that's that's what I'm talking about.
18:58
You got to understand this. 14 points out that this is good.
19:02
OK, do you want? Me to give you as a role player.
19:04
It's like, it's like indefensible though I'm.
19:06
Looking for All Star numbers. 20 is like second second option
19:10
numbers. You you don't understand that.
19:13
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
19:14
First player is like 25 up, second player is anywhere.
19:17
Do you want to make another bet to lose?
19:19
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.
19:23
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.
19:26
I'll make you another bet. You want to lose another bet?
19:29
You lost two of them last week. You want to lose another one?
19:32
If the Knicks play the 76ers, the Knicks will win in five
19:35
games. They'll win in five games
19:37
against the 76ers. 5 games. That's that's that's my bet to
19:42
you if the Knicks play the 76ers in the next round.
19:45
What about the Celtics, 'cause you know.
19:47
Y'all, that's not the that's not the argument.
19:48
The argument here is. The argument here is if the
19:51
Celtics lose against the 76ers, you hear this, the Knicks will
19:56
beat the 76ers by in in, what is it, six games?
20:02
I'm sorry, five games? Four games to 1.
20:05
Four games to 1. Are you in game six with Atlanta
20:08
Hope? Absolutely.
20:09
Yeah. Because.
20:11
Because I'm gonna tell you why I I was scared about the Atlanta
20:14
Hawks. Because you're young.
20:16
They're young, and they're hungry.
20:18
The 76ers are never hungry. The 76ers are choke artists.
20:22
And who's their coach? Nick Nurse.
20:23
Nick Nurse? Yeah.
20:25
What has Nick Nurse done in the last couple of years as a head
20:28
coach for the Philadelphia? Sevens playoffs.
20:30
Oh my God. And losing the playoffs against
20:32
you, That's a handful. Of.
20:34
Your New York. Knicks championship.
20:35
I don't know why. Your New York Knicks.
20:36
Happy with the championships, It's only a handful of the
20:39
coaches that's got a chance to win in the championship.
20:42
Here's the facts, my friend, and you could sit here till we're
20:45
blue in the face and we're going to get into the round table with
20:48
the Celtics and the 76ers. The Knicks are a better team
20:51
than 76ers. They just are.
20:53
And if you are arguing that and you're really going to go
20:56
one-on-one with me and trying to compare teams, then you are not
21:00
watching the games because it's not even close.
21:04
It's not even with a healthy Joel Embiid, they don't stand a
21:06
chance. They don't.
21:08
Not in the seven games. I'm crazy.
21:10
I'm crazy. I'm crazy.
21:12
They. Really, I don't even have a
21:14
bench, but it's high. Oh, the Knicks don't have a
21:16
bench. They don't have a bench.
21:18
Exhibit A. Game 5.
21:19
Please, dude, are you really? We're going to really argue this
21:22
now? The Knicks don't have a bench.
21:24
We don't. OK, well.
21:27
I hate the main story. That was the triple double
21:29
correct? Not yes or no.
21:30
I'm just asking. You all right?
21:32
I'm just asking you words to them winning the game.
21:34
They got to go through cat, right?
21:36
What do you I, you know what? I'm not even arguing anymore.
21:39
I'm not even arguing anymore. I'm stuttering because you're,
21:42
you're just going back and forth.
21:43
It makes no sense. None of this.
21:45
Makes you all the sense it. Doesn't make sense.
21:47
You can disagree, but you can't say it don't make sense.
21:50
That's what I'm trying. To tell Anthony.
21:52
We've been on platform, we've been on platform that said that
21:55
in order for the knits to win, they have to play through cat
21:58
You now today, all of a sudden you got a deep enough bitch that
22:01
you don't need to play through cat.
22:02
Then you just erase the triple double that he.
22:04
Had Are you good? That's what I'm saying.
22:05
Are you good now? Are you good now?
22:07
Because you don't let me cut in. You don't.
22:10
I'm trying to do, you're trying to.
22:11
This is the problem. You never let anybody interrupt.
22:14
While ago I didn't interrupt, so now I want to finish my point
22:17
and then you'll have the opportunity to come back.
22:19
And you'll cut me off like you always.
22:20
Do No, I'm not. I'm not coming off.
22:22
But if you don't let me speak, I got to cut you off.
22:24
That's all I'm saying. So what I'm trying to tell you
22:27
is you can't say that. I'm not proving a point, but I'm
22:29
giving you detail after detail in regards to how the Knicks are
22:33
successful. I gave it to you.
22:35
You got to play through Cat. Cat had a triple double.
22:37
Now you want to discredit all of those things that say that the
22:40
New York Knicks has a deep bench and this is the reason why
22:43
they're winning all of a sudden. So what I'm here to tell you is
22:46
that they don't play through Cat and they're going to lose this
22:48
game. But no matter how much Jenny
22:50
Brushes score, they're going to lose the game and they're not
22:52
going to be able to see us and not on paper or y'all better
22:55
team than it's filled up in 70 sisters if they are healthy.
22:58
Now you're done now you're done, now you're done because I'm
23:02
going to tell you why you're completely wrong.
23:03
They will kick the crap out of Celtics if they match up against
23:07
the Celtics. The Knicks are three and one
23:09
against the Celtics this year. They beat them in five games
23:12
last year. They're much better than the
23:14
Celtics. So if you want to go, I could go
23:15
one-on-one with you with the Celtics.
23:17
As far as the 76ers are concerned, go look at the Knicks
23:20
record against the the 76ers in the last five times they met in
23:24
the playoffs. Go look at the record.
23:26
The record doesn't even compare. And if you're you think that
23:29
Paul George is the same player he wants was, you're blind
23:32
because he's not. He disappears in series.
23:35
That's why nobody wants him. That's why the Clippers didn't
23:37
want him. That's why nobody in Indiana
23:39
wanted him. He stinks in the playoffs.
23:42
OK. And as far as Joel Embiid, the
23:45
guy disappears. He cries because he doesn't win
23:47
the MVP. He finally wins his MVP.
23:49
That's all. That's it.
23:51
And he shouldn't have won the MVP that year, but he cried
23:53
about it. So the NBA gave it to him like
23:55
they always do. It's A, to me, it's not about
23:58
who who is better, it's a better.
24:00
It's a matter of who is a bitch and who's going to cry about it,
24:03
and that's Joel Embiid. Now, as far as Maxi, I'm not
24:06
going to put Maxi down at all. But if you're going to bring
24:08
Kelly Ubrey, you're going to put Kelly Ubrey into this
24:11
conversation. That is a joke.
24:13
That is a joke. I would take McHale Bridges on a
24:16
bad day over Kelly Ubrey on a bad day, on a bad day on a bad
24:23
day. Talking about you take first of
24:26
the shots. Edge code?
24:28
Did he really bring up edge code?
24:29
Did you go to overall stat? He won't even let me finish.
24:32
Overall stat you. Didn't even let me finish you
24:35
coming off. 1972 they've swept them, and it's like nobody can
24:40
we're talking about, right? Now, did you just see what you
24:42
did? We didn't say over a series, we
24:44
said on paper. When you match the paper up and
24:47
you put these people stat side by side, you know who comes out
24:49
on top? And that's OK.
24:51
Did you, did you see just you just took back what you said.
24:54
You cut me off. You cut me off.
24:56
You cut me off. You didn't even let me finish.
24:58
You You, you gave. Three tapes.
25:04
You just gave three tapes for no reason.
25:06
Let me cut you both off because the Knicks are on a 22 to two
25:09
run and are up 19 points. And we know what it is.
25:12
It's over. And I already told you it was
25:13
over. It's it's a massacre and I just
25:16
wanted to get get Speedy's take on what they did because you're
25:19
right, Q, they didn't go through towns as much in Game 5, but
25:23
that's because Brunson dominated like normal Brunson mode with
25:26
his 39 points on great shooting. No, he's wrong.
25:29
He was wrong because he said he's wrong.
25:32
He's wrong because he said the Knicks need Towns to have a
25:35
triple double to win. That's what he said.
25:38
Did he not speedy? Did he not say that?
25:40
Did he not say that? He said he did.
25:43
Say that he did say that you need, you need Paul Anthony
25:47
Towns to get you a triple double.
25:49
That's what you said. That's what you said.
25:51
I'm used to it. I'm used to a queue.
25:53
It's all good. Listen.
25:55
This guy keeps cutting me off. I can mutually.
25:57
Ubre Kelly Ubrey's a starter. He's not a bench guy for them.
26:00
He's started most of the season because Paul George has heard he
26:02
plays with Paul George on the court.
26:04
At the same time, he's a small ball for NGO.
26:06
Nanobi does basically the same. Ross, Polio George, he's much
26:09
better than him. You're going to have Josh Hart
26:11
guarding Kelly Ubrey. That's a wash.
26:14
And then you're going to put Bridges on Edgecomb and that's
26:16
going to try to neutralize the rookie with a really good
26:19
veteran defender. And that's how they would take
26:21
care of it. Maxi would get his, Brunson
26:23
would get his. And then the only guy that
26:25
scares me is Embiid because you never know.
26:26
Whitney can go off because he's one of the when he's healthy,
26:28
he's one of the all time great players we've ever seen.
26:31
But he hasn't been healthy in a couple of years and you only get
26:33
those nights once a blue moon. I assume the Celtics are going
26:35
to win tonight, but we'll get to that in one second.
26:38
You assume it's all about the Knicks.
26:39
You assume. It but it's not going to happen.
26:42
You assume you don't can't. You wouldn't expect MB to be
26:44
able to have back-to-back games like he used to.
26:47
You know, that's all I'm saying about it.
26:49
I don't think they can do it without him, but right now the
26:51
Knicks are absolutely pumping. See this Hawks team, Speedy?
26:55
What? What do you got for me?
26:56
On the adjustments, see what I mean?
26:58
You see what I mean? You doesn't cut him off, but he
27:00
cuts me off. You cut them off.
27:02
You cut me off all the time. You cut me off.
27:08
You cut me off all the time, dude, you cut me off.
27:11
Come on, just calm down and breathe like you had babies.
27:18
Breathe. Breathe, man.
27:19
Let everybody speak. Go ahead, Go ahead.
27:22
Before Errol goes to a full hardcore yoga instructor.
27:26
By the way, OG had a Nobi's game total so far as 14, which is by
27:29
the way, Kelly Ubray season average.
27:31
Do they have 12 assists already on 15 in 15 minutes.
27:34
It's just one turnover so far in this stretch.
27:36
Jalen Bronson already has four of those assists.
27:38
The guy that is apparently not better than Tyrese Maxi and the
27:41
Knicks have held the Hawks this potent offense with their wings.
27:45
Just 15 points and none of them have more than five points in
27:49
this game, which is to kill Alexander Walker.
27:51
It's a crazy run. 22 to two run is an unheard of run, something
27:55
you really only see with OKC and a few other teams over the years
27:58
recently. Guys, it's 40 to 15 at the end
28:02
of the first 40. This is old.
28:06
Early. It's early to get out there.
28:07
Early Have a 76ers done that yet?
28:09
They're. Trying to tell you.
28:11
Don't worry that. Saves too much time on the
28:13
clock. I know, I know VJ.
28:14
I won't New York to. Win, by the way.
28:15
I won't. New York to win, by the way.
28:18
Yeah. So so they could beat the
28:19
Celtics. That's right.
28:20
That's what we're going to do. That's what we're going to do.
28:22
We're going to run right through the Celtics.
28:24
But you have to get through the 76ers first, bud.
28:26
You lose a lot of money and I don't think that's going to
28:28
really, really, we'll put a bet on that.
28:31
We'll put a bet on that because it seems like every time you put
28:33
a bet, you lose. So let's do it.
28:35
Let's do it. Throw it off.
28:37
Throw it out there, my friend. Bet for entertainment.
28:40
No, you're going to bet for withdrawal because the only way
28:43
that that'll happen is if the Celtics, he's going to blow a
28:45
three run lead. He's going to withdraw because
28:47
every single time. He would I withdraw because.
28:51
Before the NBA season is over and the playoffs are over,
28:54
you're going to owe me a lot of money, my friend.
28:57
You like to come out and say, well, do you know Ball?
29:00
Yeah, I do know. I do know.
29:02
I lost the bet and I admitted that I lost the bet, but I made
29:04
the bet for entertaining purposes.
29:05
Did you so if you go back and. So you're gonna make another bet
29:08
with the Celtics? I said the kid will only score
29:10
12 points and then we kept going on and I said no, forget it, let
29:14
me bet. And I bet I'm cool with that.
29:16
I'm cool with Luke. I have to admit that I lost, but
29:18
I can also admit that I put out there.
29:20
He only scored 12 points, man. So go back to the film and check
29:23
the film. That's.
29:24
It I don't need to check any film.
29:25
I watch the game. I watch the game just like I
29:27
always do when you tell me, do you watch ball?
29:30
You tell me. Hold on, go back and check out.
29:32
Hold on, hold on. Q, Let me speak for a second.
29:34
I let you speak you. You're probably you and I'm, I'm
29:37
and everybody that listens to this show.
29:39
I have no problems arguing with QQ.
29:41
Just when he wants to speak, he'll just completely talk over
29:45
you until he finishes his set. And he will not let you finish
29:49
unless you want to cut in. And even when you want to cut
29:51
in, if it's me, he won't let me cut in.
29:54
So here's my fact here. It doesn't matter who the Knicks
29:57
play in the next round. They're going to beat them.
29:59
They're going to beat the Celtics and they're going to
30:01
beat the 76ers. And that's a fact.
30:04
And I'm going to tell you that for a fact.
30:06
And I and the only team that scares me right now is if
30:09
Orlando beats Detroit. And you're going to say, well,
30:12
wait a second, you're scared of Orlando?
30:14
Yeah, I'll tell you why I'm scared of Orlando.
30:16
They're bigger than any team right now in Eastern Conference
30:19
and they play and right now they're playing fast.
30:23
They all season long, they had a problem fan playing fast pace.
30:26
You can laugh all you want. Look what they're doing in
30:28
Detroit. You're laughing.
30:30
Please don't address me if you don't want me to interrupt, no.
30:33
Look what they're doing in Detroit.
30:34
And I don't trust Detroit. I would probably bet if the
30:37
Cavaliers get out of their series, the Cavaliers have a
30:40
better chance of going to the Eastern Conference finals.
30:43
But but to me right now, when you look at Detroit, Detroit's
30:48
not a good team. They don't have, they don't have
30:50
fun. They're not playing fundamental
30:51
basketball. They're playing against a coach
30:54
that looks like he's going to get fired no matter if Orlando
30:57
wins or not. If Orlando goes deep into the
31:00
players, maybe he keeps his job. But even if they beat, they
31:03
knock off Detroit. He's not keeping his job because
31:06
every single one of those players can't stand their coach.
31:09
So. But in fact, what Orlando is
31:11
doing, yeah, I'm afraid of them because they're big, strong and
31:14
go look at the Knicks record against Orlando this year.
31:17
They've had problems against Orlando.
31:19
It's size. It's all about match ups.
31:21
In the NBA, it's always about match ups.
31:24
It's not like hockey. If you have a hot goaltender,
31:26
you're going to win. If you have baseball, if you
31:28
have great pitching, you're going to win a championship.
31:31
That those are facts. When you watch sports, if even
31:34
football, everybody talks about a quarterback.
31:37
But when it comes to the playoffs, if you have a good
31:39
running game and you have a great defense, there's a very
31:42
good chance you can win. You can beat the better
31:44
quarterback. And we've seen many teams do it
31:47
many, many times. So it's not what you think when
31:50
you say, oh, you need a great quarterback to win a
31:52
championship. Not really.
31:54
I mean, we've seen teams win without great quarterbacks.
31:57
We've seen it if you have two strong parts of your offense and
32:01
your defense, you can beat the better quarterback on the
32:04
football field. And that's the same thing with
32:06
all the other sports. But guess what?
32:08
With basketball, it's different. Basketball, no matter how great
32:14
the players are, if you don't have the two best players on the
32:17
court, you're you're probably going to lose.
32:21
You're probably going to lose. But when it comes to size and
32:25
the advantages of size on a basketball court, which we've
32:28
seen many, many times, why did Minnesota go all the way to the
32:31
Finals last year? Why did they go to the Finals
32:34
last year? Because of their size.
32:38
Because of their size. Are you laughing at what's so
32:40
funny? OG Anovi is unconscious, man.
32:43
He's got his fourth three quarter and he just stole the.
32:46
Ball. Oh my God.
32:48
This guys having like a heart attack over here coming season
32:52
time corner. All listen all time game
32:56
happening right now by OG Ananobi in the first half, he's
33:00
doing everything. He just hit another three.
33:02
You knew he was going in. Jose Alvarado, by the way, stole
33:05
a ball and got fouled. He dove on the floor twice in
33:08
two different directions and got the the call.
33:11
That guy's unbelievable. I don't know what you're talking
33:13
about with the bench cue. I don't think anyone has a
33:15
better bench than the Knicks. I just don't think you know how
33:16
good some of those guys are. With McBride and Alvarado, you
33:19
got two small guys that can hound everyone of that type of
33:23
caliber on your team. Then you have the wing depth
33:25
that they can guard everybody as as well.
33:27
Coming off the anyone who has wings, you got well, the Hawks
33:32
ain't got nothing right now. The Hawks are packing it in
33:34
right now. This is an embarrassment at
33:36
home. They're doing this on the road,
33:38
coming out this strong man. I, I don't think they're packing
33:41
it in. I just think the Knicks have
33:42
played in the last two games, counting this game.
33:45
They're finally finding their legs and and when they find
33:48
their legs, we know they're better than the Hawks.
33:50
They're much better team than the Hawks.
33:53
They've turned them over 9 times.
33:55
I know Hawks have made seven shots this whole.
33:57
Game What I'm saying is, is the Knicks are finally finding their
34:00
legs. That's what's going on right
34:02
now. The whole series.
34:04
They've let the Atlanta Hawks outrun them, outplay them.
34:08
They're younger and and, and they played very well
34:11
defensively too. Throughout the first three games
34:13
they played very well defensively.
34:16
The Knicks needed to pick up the pace, They needed to start
34:18
playing their game as soon as they started playing their game
34:21
and game #5 we saw if you can compete with the Hawks and play
34:25
that fast-paced game, the Knicks are a better team.
34:28
And that's what the Knicks have figured out.
34:29
Now against this team, let's play fast-paced basketball, play
34:32
defense, play up on their face. We've got 2 great wing defenders
34:36
and we have plenty of guys on the bench that could rebound and
34:39
do those things very well. At a high level, we could beat
34:42
this team and that's what you're seeing right now.
34:44
That doesn't mean this game is over.
34:46
Right about that. The game is not over.
34:48
Even if it's 30 points, 40 points.
34:50
Teams can go on runs. In basketball, we've seen teams
34:53
go on 20 point runs, 25 point runs, 30 point runs.
34:56
So the game is not over. It is very early right now.
34:59
We're in the. Second, what do?
35:01
You what? Do you want to kiss me now?
35:03
What Are you kissing me now? I'm so.
35:05
Proud of you. I'm so proud of you.
35:09
We love you, we love you. He's ready for his Heisman
35:11
speech. They're down 29.
35:16
They're down 29. I know, that's what I'm saying.
35:18
We've seen not just it, we've seen a lot of teams.
35:21
Have you seen this? A lot of time.
35:22
It's just a lot of time on the clock.
35:24
Do you remember? I'm not saying the game is
35:26
physically over, but to shut to you.
35:29
You're close to saying it's over.
35:30
I don't know. Well, here's why I'm saying
35:32
that. Q I've been a part, I've been a
35:33
coach of, of teams like this, both in football and basketball,
35:36
Not at a high level, but you know when the game is over, when
35:39
you show up and you're flat in the first quarter and you come
35:43
out and they steamroll you, and before you know it, you're down
35:46
to scores. You got to throw the game plan
35:48
out. Now you're scrambling, trying to
35:49
hit your Hail Mary plays, and now it's just everything.
35:53
Domino effect spirals out of control and before you know it
35:55
you just lost by 45 points. I don't think, I do not think
35:59
this game is going to be a 40 point lead by the New York
36:02
Knicks. They're going to win by 40 or
36:04
win by 50I. I do not see that.
36:06
The Atlanta Hawks, they're going to come out strong in the
36:08
second-half. They're going to cut it down to
36:10
1510. We've seen them do this.
36:13
This is a, this is a young team. They're hungry.
36:15
I do not think this game is over, but this is what the
36:18
Knicks needed to do. They needed to shut the fans up
36:21
and they'd have to make sure that the fans are not going to
36:24
be in the game because that's what happens.
36:26
Once the once the team, the players drive off the fans, what
36:29
happens? They start playing at a high
36:31
level. And that's look what the Knicks
36:33
did in game #5 the Knicks drove off the fans.
36:36
How loud the fans were at Madison Square Garden.
36:39
Look at Fish's face. He's got more smiles, he looks
36:42
like. They just put a stat up.
36:44
OG is out scoring their whole team and out shooting and has
36:48
more made shots than them. It's freaking ridiculous, man.
36:52

36:56

37:02

37:05

37:09
