We have to get deeper into what happened last night down in Atlanta. I really, really believe that they were going to pull off this comeback. That's what they've done. Jalen Brunson was going to make a big shot. It just was going to work out for them because we've become accustomed to that. And of course, it does it. And once again, it's somebody else. And it's C.J. McCollum with the game winning shot with 12 seconds to go. And there were 12 seconds to go, I'm thinking, that's plenty of time for the Knicks to do what they need to do. And then they don't even get a shot off. Just a terrible possession. And quite honestly, they really didn't deserve to win that basketball game last night.

0:37.6

And now I'm in a situation that I never thought I would be in in this first round thinking that they have a chance to lose the series.

0:44.4

I'm not going to say that they are, but I never ever believed that that was a possibility.

0:50.4

And make no bones about it.

0:51.7

This is not, if they end up losing this series, everything,

0:57.7

and I mean everything is on the table for shaking this team up. You cannot get a step by step

1:06.2

by step by step closer, fire a coach, and then take three steps backward and expect to run the

1:13.1

thing back. And I don't, I mean, Mike Brown can't be here. I mean, Carl Anthony Towns had a much

1:17.8

better season this year. He would probably be a guy to go. Jalen Brunson is in the crosshairs.

1:22.8

We know he's not going anywhere. McHale Bridges probably won't be on the team. I mean,

1:26.7

these are the things we're talking about if they end up losing this series. And quite frankly, if they go on and

1:30.4

win this series and then get housed in a second round, maybe those same things are on the table.

1:35.9

But just really, really discouraging last night. And the fact that McHale Bridges' ass had to get

1:43.0

glued to the bench last night. And Deuce McBride's out there thinking he's like Dr. Jay every time he gets the ball, he's, you know, hucking it up there and sometimes work, sometimes it didn't. But I mean, they're really down two to one to the Atlanta Hawks. I'm sick about it. Well, I'm not going to sit here and rub it in your face, but, you know, I...

2:01.9

Why would you? You're a Knicks fan.

2:03.1

I am, but I felt like they were going to lose last night. I really did, man. And the reason I did is because of the momentum that the Hawks had gotten from both fourth quarters of the previous two games. I thought, okay, maybe the Knicks would get a little of that and redemption and a little revenge in the fourth quarter last night.

2:20.0

But again, I... I thought, okay, maybe the Knicks would get a little of that in redemption and a little revenge in the fourth quarter last night.

2:20.0

But again, a couple of things.

2:22.8

Number one, Mikhail Bridges is basically disappeared.

2:25.8

Not only that, he's turning the ball over.

2:28.1

Number two, Jalen Brunson, for all the things that we love about him, he's still a major

2:33.1

liability on defense, and he dribbles
