And so we get a very unorthodox rematch of 2021 in which literally, and I was going through the rosters,

there's very few people left. In fact, I counted two guys left from the Knicks Hawk series,

including two completely different head coaches.

On Atlanta's side, now they're starting center.

The guy who's been slapped around by Carl Anthony Towns, Cungua was on the team. He was a rookie, I think, that year. But he only played like five minutes a night. That did not play a lot in the postseason. Right, that doesn't count. And the other one was Mitchell Robinson, who didn't play in the series because he was hurt. Right. Wow. That's it. And it wasn't that long ago.

It doesn't feel like it was that long ago.

It was only that long ago.

It doesn't feel like it was that long ago.

It was only five years ago. So it's a rematch, but not really. How many Trey Young chants are we getting? You know, I'm not a big fan of the F. Tre Young chant. I don't either. But because it's the Hawks and you're not going to chant F. Alexander Walker or F. Dyson

Daniels or F. C.J. There's just no one on Atlanta that you hate as of now. F. Jalen Johnson.

It just doesn't sound right. And until they start this series, there isn't a familiarity with a lot of the guys. So, I don't know. Chanting F. Tray Young is like chanting F. Reggie Miller when you're playing the Pacers. I think I'm okay with it. Well, that's because Reggie's mostly there. That's true. Calling the damn game. That's true. With a biased bend to it. So it's not okay for Nick fans to Trant. Well, he's not in the arena. Okay.

Reggie Miller. With a biased bend to it. So it's not okay for Nick fans to Trant?

Well, he's not in the arena. Okay. I mean Reggie Miller is sometimes in the arena. They're going to chant it anyway. They would have chanted it if they're playing a Celtics. That's true. Well, what do you want them? Do you want to go aggressive and start chanting F Boston? Like you're almost preparing for the second round? We want Boston. We, well, there's a jinx attached to that. Yeah, that's true. You can't go that route.

I think you just say F them. Like, or screw them. You should there's still a jinx to that? It seems like every fan base that chance we want Blank gets blank and then gets beaten by Blank. How about Let's Go Knicks? You go with that. Or Jalen Bronson.

Jalen Bronson. Why do we always need to invent new cheers? Why can't we just root for our teams? Oh, you're right. And we also don't need to chant F at people. Like there are kids in the stands. Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. We don't need the F chance going on. They've all heard it. Yeah, it's true.

I have an issue with this, and look, you call me a hater all you want.

I've said this with this and look, you call me a hater all you want.

I've said this every year, like four years in a row.

It's like a tradition the Monday after the NBA season ends.

And that is, it's a disgrace that McKell Bridges starts a game and plays like nine seconds.

McKell Bridges is it's time to step up.

Like, I don't like it. I think it's Fugazi. And so yesterday, and I appreciate this because I think Mike Breen listens to the show.
